Let me make sure it's January 10th. I'll be off on my day.

It is. Yes, it is January 10th. Goes to UFC President Dana White. Now, this situation happened when we were off for a holiday break, and I actually meant to get right to this yesterday, but I wasn't thinking about it. And I felt bad I wasn't thinking about it because that's probably one of the reasons, you know,

Jamie Foxx and D.L. Hughley were criticizing the coverage of the fight that Dana White got into with his wife because it doesn't seem like people are thinking about it because that's probably one of the reasons you know jamie fox and dl hugley were criticizing the coverage of the fight uh that dana white got into with his wife because it doesn't seem like people are thinking about it yes if you haven't heard uh footage was released of dana white getting into a physical altercation with his wife on new year's eve let's go to fox houston 26 for the report please back to the factor on sensitive volatile new year's eve for ufc president dana white he and his wife responded slapping each other now the incident was caught on camera in a new year's eve nightclub in cabo mexico no word on what happened beforehand but white has since apologized saying there are no excuses for putting your hands on his wife that's true okay now listen do i really have to sit here and

have a conversation about why putting your hands on a woman is wrong well i guess y'all i guess i do since folks are still out here doing it you know i don't care if it's your girlfriend wife sister just know okay i heard people saying you know she slapped dana white first so dana slapped her back i promise you in the court of public opinion that's a scenario you really can't win i don't know if you can win that in the court of law i really don't maybe a judge will look at it as self-defense maybe a judge won't i don't know i just feel if a woman puts their hands on you if you don't have women around you to handle that situation run okay you can't win what did adrian tell rocky when he was gonna fight the russian you can't win before there were reasons to fight i could

understand but i don't understand this even if you win what have you won apollo's still gone why can't you change your thinking everybody else does because i'm a fighter that's the way i'm made adrian that's what you marry we can't change what we are you can't change anything and you know all we can do is just go with what we are you can't go with what you are Have you read the papers? Do you know what everybody says? It's suicide

You can't win Jesus You know, well, thank you, Adrian, for believing in me Okay, by the way, we don't talk about that enough The fact that Rocky beat the Russian in spite of Adrian not believing Okay, so what? She came to Russia with him to train That wasn't support

She was there because she thought Rocky was going to get killed by the Russian too. That's true. But back to the matter at hand. Dana White, is there a double standard in the way the media covers domestic violence

in regards to Dana White? We have seen how the media responded to Chris Brown. Different circumstance because another superstar was the victim. We've seen how they covered Ray Rice,

even though Ray Rice video footage was way more violent. But domestic violence is domestic violence domestic violence right but i saw and heard some people who were defending dana white some folks were saying he's the president of ufc and when people think mma they think violence so his actions you know weren't surprising to some people but football is violent boxing is violent but i don't see football players and boxers you know getting defended in the media now the legends jamie foxx and dl hugley you know uh asked some questions dl hugley said what can brown do for you apparently not a damn thing if they if that had been a brother it'd be non-stop coverage dredging up a playground fight from the third grade scouring

old tweets you name it dana white's entire life is immersed in brutal physical violence he's amassed a fortune from it where are the salacious headlines where's the pressure oh he apologized hashtag white privilege scores a first round knockout yet again jamie foxx co-signed it and said effing preach now dana white did apologize let's listen to it i'm in cabo mexico uh you know for the holidays with my family and And my wife and I were out Saturday night on New Year's Eve. You know, unfortunately, that's what happened. You know, you've heard me say for years, there's never ever an excuse for a guy to put his hands on a woman. And now here I am on TMZ talking about it. But my wife and I have been married for almost 30 years we've known each

other since we were 12 years old we've obviously been through some shit together and uh we've got three kids and you know this is one of those situations that's you know horrible i'm embarrassed you don't put your hands on a woman ever he's right you don't put your hands on a woman ever he's owning up to it you know he's apologizing like i said i've heard boxers football players you know they've been in these same situations they apologize and they were still demonized here's the thing i agree with dl hugo uh but this is what i would say mainstream media whatever that means nowadays is reporting on dana white i think this outrage that dl is looking for, this nonstop coverage, this, you know, pulling up old tweets, you know, pulling up old fights from third grade.

I don't care what y'all say. That comes from social media. OK, that comes from Twitter a lot of the times. OK, the only reason the mainstream media has moved on from this is because it doesn't seem like a hot story because there's no reaction from social media. I keep telling you all over and over. If you, you know, if if if if you, you know, want these mainstream outlets to react, then you have to make them react. You know, most of these mainstream outlets are reacting to what's happening on social media. You can be watching one of these networks, CNN, MSNBC. And when some foolish celebrity nonsense starts trending on social media, they will stop talking about actual issues, about actual issues going on in the world to report on the celebrity nonsense. Now, is there a double standard on how mainstream media covers black people and white people? Of course it is. OK, always has been. But there is other

screams and social media really, sadly, is the screen that matters nowadays. So if you want people to cover Dana White and you've got to cause an uproar on social media. But more importantly, what's to ask? You can't just make noise. OK, I've told you this a million times. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. That's word to Frederick Douglass. OK, you can't just say, oh, the media isn't covering Dana White because they are what you really want is dana to have consequences for his actions but who is going to impose those consequences okay who is going to push to have consequences you know uh leveled against dana white is dana white being covered different because he's white rich powerful or is he being covered different because she hit him first and it

could be considered self-defense is he being covered different because he apologized and he owned up to it i don't know okay but i do know he's gonna get the credit he deserves for being stupid so please give dana white the biggest hee haw let remy ma give dana white the biggest hee haw hee haw hee haw you stupid mother are you dumb I haven't heard from you yet this year all right I'm sure she'll be guest co-hosting at some point hope so yes all right you know those are questions I do want to know like is Dana White being covered different because he's white rich and powerful is he being covered different because she hit him first and it could be considered self-defense? Because I've heard people say that.

Or is he being covered different because he apologized and he owned up to it? Which is it? All right, well, let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. Why do you feel that

Dana White's coverage is a little different than some of the other things that we've seen before? Is it because his wife hit him first? Is it because he's white? Is it because

we haven't stressed it enough? That's what I said. You know, people forget douglas said it the best power concedes nothing without a demand so even when we say these things like you know mainstream media isn't covering it you know where's the outrage i mean they are covering it what you're really asking is how come there isn't any consequences to his actions that's what you're asking all right we'll get to that next taking Taking your calls, 800-585-1051.
