00:00No way a woman can play tennis with a good man tennis player.
00:05This is a battle of the sexes.
00:07You know, I think that I can beat Bobby.
00:24I think that if I had to bet money, I would bet on Bobby Riggs.
00:27I think Riggs will win.
00:28I think that no matter what they want to say,
00:32the establishment of a woman tennis wants to say,
00:34there is no way that a good woman can beat a fairly good man.
00:47I feel like the whole world was on my shoulders.
00:49I thought, if I lose, it's going to put women back 50 years at least.
00:54I knew that I had to turn people's thoughts around about us,
00:57that they had to think that we can do things,
01:00that we can actually walk and chew gum at the same time.
01:02And for the men, what happened, for the men, they come up to me.
01:06And most of the time, the men actually are the ones who have tears in their eyes.
01:09It's very interesting.
01:11They go, Billy, I was very young when I saw that match.
01:14And now I have a daughter.
01:18And I am so happy I saw that as a young man.
01:21And one of those young men at 12 years old was President Obama.
01:26And he actually told me that when I met him.
01:28He said, you don't realize it, but I saw that match at 12.
01:32And now I have two daughters.
01:33And it has made a difference in how I raised them.
01:36Everyone thinks women should be thrilled when we get crumbs, okay?
01:40And I want women to have the cake, the icing, and the cherry on top too.
01:44No person should be discounted for anything.
01:47So it's very important that we help each other.
01:49We'll see you next time.
