led hazard. If you die from the cold, that wasn't caused by climate change. That's just you died in the cold, you dumbass. Now does that seem like illegitimate reporting to you to leave out the fact that more people die of cold? Because it seems like you should be netting out those warm and cold deaths, right, to find out what's really going on. The weirdest thing happened today and it's really…

Imagine that. Imagine learning that your news source wasn't actually news because the change that's happening is changing toward news. I don't even know if anybody is arguing that. I haven't seen anybody say here's what they don't say: but you're not becoming more objective. Nobody's saying that. They're not saying your facts are wrong. That's not in the criticism.

But if it was anybody but the Williams sisters, if it was anybody else I'd watch.
Now is anybody going to accuse me of being racist? Go ahead. Go ahead. No, it has nothing to do with being Black. That has nothing to do with anything. It's just they were so physically dominant that it looked like what I used to joke about Serena Williams. It looked like, and this is not a sexist joke, calm down, calm down, it's not a sexist joke, but it looked to me like she was playing mixed singles. It always looked like the physicality of a man, Serena, against a woman who had the physicality of a woman. N

ow occasionally she'd play like a six-foot-tall Russian woman and then that would be more like a fair fight. But it wasn't really fair. It wasn't really fun watching a monster play a mouse. Yeah, there was no point in it. Now let me say the positive thing. Even the Williams sisters are the greatest female athletes probably of all time. I don't know. I'm not sure what the standard is but they're i…
