Yeah, it's going to take place now on June 15th and 16th instead of June 14th and 15th to avoid upsetting Mr. Trump and Mr. Dana White.

the big boss over at the UFC.

The Guardian had a report on this.

They say that up to 5,000 people might attend the event on the South Lawn of the White House.

And then somehow like 85,000 more are going to watch from the ellipse across the street.

I don't know, maybe there's a stadium or a screen or something.

I'm guessing, Ben, none of the G7 leaders are going to make the cut of Trump's invite list because he doesn't really like them.

Oh, Maloney might make it.

That's a good call.

The new Japanese prime minister may make it too.

I think she's right-wing enough.

So Ben, on one level, it's not the biggest deal, right?

They moved to summit today.

But when you think about like kind of the cascading impact of shifting an international summit, like for the organizers, the logistics, for all the other leaders attending the G7, it really does say something about like the perceived balance of power within the organization at the moment.

You know, it's a really good question.

I thought it was really smart of Trump to go to all those events early on and just kind of co-op sports.

I mean, I think like from this one single event, you probably get global exposure like nothing you've ever done before, you know, just because it's at the White House and so unique and interesting.

There is some risk.

There is some risk.

I think I'd be willing to take it.
