Joe Rogan (0:06)

Abby Martin, ladies and gentlemen.

SPEAKER_2 (0:07)

How are you?

Abby Martin (0:08)

Great, how are you?

Joe Rogan (0:09)

Good day to be here.

Abby Martin (0:10)

Yes, exactly.

Joe Rogan (0:11)

It's a crazy day for Bill Cosby, whoopsies.

Abby Martin (0:14)

Hey, I'm reeling in that news, man.

Joe Rogan (0:16)

Yeah, I was wondering what was going to happen, because the first one was a mistrial, is that what happened?

Abby Martin (0:21)

Yeah, but what, so what's the difference between this one? Is this a civil suit, or is this?

Joe Rogan (0:25)

I think these are, these aren't civil.

SPEAKER_2 (0:29)

This was the re-trial, so he got convicted of felony.

Abby Martin (0:32)

Nice, re-charges, right?

Joe Rogan (0:34)

Felony, sexual assault, three different counts, each one carries, I think, at least 10 years. He could go to jail for 30 years, which is death for him. I mean, he's...

Abby Martin (0:43)

He's already blind.

Joe Rogan (0:44)

Yeah, he's very, yeah, he can barely see, right?

Abby Martin (0:48)

Good, I'm so happy that he's getting charged at the end of his life, that's amazing.

Joe Rogan (0:51)

He's a creepy dude.

Abby Martin (0:53)

He liked to have sex with lifeless dead bodies.

Joe Rogan (0:55)

Yeah, we were trying to, I mean, purely speculation, right? Like, what would cause someone to want to do that? Like, what, but I have this theory.

I think a lot of people did that shit in the 60s. I think in the 60s, it was a normal thing to drug people. And I think they, you know, remember the terms, have you ever, you've heard it, slipping someone a Mickey?

I think they used to do that all the time back then, and they didn't think anything of it. You know, people are fucking gross. If you just go back a couple of hundred years, like I'm watching this show, Vikings, it's a great show, by the way, I don't know if you ever watched it. But you know, they were obviously fucking crazy people. They did wild shit, but it was common. I mean, this was how people lived. They would storm into villages and kill everybody. This was normal shit just a thousand years ago or so.

And I think if you go back just a hundred years, the way people treated each other was horrific. If you go back 50 years ago, that's Bill Cosby's era. I mean, I really think that people back then were different. They didn't have the internet. They didn't understand how other people were viewing their activity. They thought they could hide this activity.

And I think there was a group of people, specifically partiers, that would drug people. And I think it was a normal thing. I think there's probably a lot of people out there that are hearing this Bill Cosby thing, and they're thinking about all the times that they did it.

Abby Martin (2:21)

That is horrifying.

Joe Rogan (2:23)

It's fucking scary.

Abby Martin (2:23)

Especially when you couch yourself into being this responsible, like I'm gonna lecture all the black people, pull up your pants, be good.

Joe Rogan (2:31)

I remember one time Wanda Sykes interviewed him at something, and he was chastising her on the way she was talking, her English, and he was wearing sunglasses inside.

Abby Martin (2:42)

He's like, sorry, I'm just recovering off the raping that I just did.

Joe Rogan (2:46)

I can't see people, I can't look you in the eyes. I'm all raped out.

Abby Martin (2:49)

Oh my god, I'm so happy to hear this. And did you see Weinstein chased out of that bar like in Florida or whatever? Some guy comes up and like slaps him.

Joe Rogan (2:56)

Oh, slaps him in the face.

Abby Martin (2:58)

Hopefully that happens to him all over the world. I think that he's a disgusting pig who should be chased out of every public forum.

Joe Rogan (3:04)

There's a lot of those out there. There's a lot of creepy humans in this world.

I think we're in this unprecedented time of understanding in terms of like the consequences of your behavior, what you can and can't do now, and then the fact that people will just, if you're doing something horrific to people, other people are now gonna know. Whereas, again, 50 years ago, nobody fucking knew anything. Think about JFK, right? Think about all this shit that's going on with Trump, and Trump just kind of, it's like water off a duck's back with Trump for whatever reason. He's got some strange ability to just like fake news.

Abby Martin (3:41)

That's his brand. His brand has been a misogynist piece of shit.
