Look, if you had a party scheduled at your house, and the pipes broke and the floor was covered in raw sewage, you’d tell your friends not to come over.
In that spirit: world, skip the World Cup until we get this sewage worked out. And don’t be too sure about the Olympics.

Just a quick update on flight safety. It's on everyone's minds and I would like to provide a very important statistic.
So far, in 2025, we have had the most aircraft related fatalities in the US since 2001.
And yes, we are referring to 9/11.
