Zac Brown says "it's an honor" to perform at this weekend's UFC event at the White House.
"I'm there for the troops. I'm there to honor America. This is patriotism, not politics for me. I mean, f*ck all the division. I don't believe in that. I love this country. I love all the people that have sacrificed so that I can live my American dream and that everyone that lives here gets a chance to do that if they work hard, make the right decisions, and do that. So it doesn't have a place in politics for me...
"I'm so excited for this weekend and it's history — getting to be part of American history, having the first sporting event that's on the lawn of the White House. I mean, it's an honor."
