I think Dana White became much more rich at that time.

And I think a lot of rich guy politics tends to intersect, but you asked about like what was really binding it.

And my personal belief is there is some ideological symmetry between them, but it's more about a willingness to get transactionalism through each party.

Um, the DOJ under, sorry, the FTC, I should say under Obama looked into the UFC two times during the two thousands and kind of looked the other way.

And now what they're trying to do is this is true.

The first piece of legislation this year that Congress has taken up in terms of the labor force.

is a piece of boxing legislation to essentially hand monopolistic control over to a single dominant firm.

They get this because of what I was told on Capitol Hill was the White House was kind of leaning on Republican lawmakers to push this through.

That is part of it, the lack of regulatory scrutiny.

They now have...

huge monopolies over this parent company through TK.

It's called TKO.

It owns WWE.

It owns UFC.

It's owning now other verticals that they're trying to put in place.

So you get this like the regulatory wind at your back in a way that is generationally impossible by virtue of this transactionalism.

But I will say this.

A lot of people say, oh, does Dana White have the same politics as Trump?

I mean, I don't know exactly.

I've heard him repeat election denying stuff before, kind of vaguely.
