Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to The Tim Dillon Show. Let's see this Rosie O'Donnell thing. She has these Epstein survivors come out and sing, and I get it, I like all of this. I'm all release the files, and I have no problem with Rosie doing this, but the singing isn't necessary. She has this, she brings these Epstein survivors together, and she's talking to them, which again, great.
Then she goes, and does they sing, I Am Woman Hear Me Roar? It's just weird to bring in a bunch of people who are talking about getting, you know, R-worded, and then go, all right, yeah, no, that was when you were 14, and you would take, right, okay, five, six, seven, eight, like, you don't need, you don't need the theatrics, and I get it, Rosie's from the Broadway world, she likes everything to have a musical component, like a number, let's do a number. These are victims of a prolific human trafficker.
Can they even sing? They had the, did they have to rehearse this? Did they have to bring them in and rehearse it? They probably did. Can you imagine being a victim of human trafficking, and then having the producer go, you're gonna come on, you're gonna share your story, and then of course, there will be a song. And you go, what? Yeah, we're gonna do I Am Woman, Hear Me Roar. We think it's powerful to just kind of do a song with everyone. You don't mind that, do you? I guess I'm not really a singer. It doesn't matter. Rosie's not a singer. No one's anything anymore. It doesn't really matter. So here, let's watch this, because again, to me, it's a great example of like, you're almost doing it. It's almost good. This is a great example, because in our society now, this has become a major theme of our society, and you'll be like, God, you're on the one yard line. It's almost what it should be, and then it becomes immediately the opposite of what it should be, and you go, God, Zooks. And I get it, because Rosie goes, let's get all these women to come in and talk about their experiences, and I'm all for that, and then it goes the other way. So let's just watch this, please, and I think you'll know what I mean here.
Well, hold on, let's start from the beginning. Let's start from the beginning, from the place where I thought it might be good, because I went, yeah.
Rosie O'Donnell (2:40)
I have a couple of hours, and I was thinking, instead of doing this, we would each hold hands, like we'll say it would, and then lift our hands up together.
Tim Dillon (2:47)
Again, stop it immediately. Again, all we need to, all you need to do is interview these women about what happened and who did it.
You don't need to do a theatrical production here. You don't need to sing Memories from Cats. You don't need it.
I understand what Rosie is trying to do. She's like choreographing this. She's like, well, I thought you would, I'd put my hand up, you put your hand up, we hold hands, we do a box step, we're gonna be in a formation, we're gonna harmonize, you know. So let's just watch this. I won't interrupt it again, but let's go back to the beginning. We're gonna watch this again. And it's almost correct. Rosie, you almost had it. Here we go.
Rosie O'Donnell (3:33)
Thank you all for coming. We have a couple hours. I was thinking, instead of doing this, we would each hold hands like we'll say it would and then lift our hands up together, right? More than you like that, which is what I think. That was my first thought, right? But I know it's been very hard for you and with very little support. And I'm sorry that our country's so up that this is what you have to live through because you are all heroes and you're going to change how the world deals with child sex abuse.
Tim Dillon (4:15)
Stop it for a minute. Here's how bad this is. I don't feel bad for them anymore. I'm not even kidding. Here's how bad. First of all, one of them's got Chanel sandals on. It's like, how about let's get the Chanel Crocs off the foot. We're trying to make people feel bad. This is so bad, I gotta be honest with you. I hate to say it, I'm siding with Epstein. Is that the point? Is the point of this to side with Epstein? No, right? I imagine that's not the point. This is so weird and strange. I'm like, I don't know that I feel bad for these women anymore, cause they're victims of the most heinous crime imaginable, obviously. But then they're standing here and they're singing and they're trying and they're serious, of course. It's a serious topic. And it's just so odd. Let's watch the rest of it.
