They are so here it is. Refreshing. Refreshing. How happy. How happy it is in today's world. Take a moment and breathe in the happiness. All right, that's enough. So earlier this week, Bill Cosby.

Our pal, our friend, the man we grew to love. Bill Cosby, America's dad, or at least one of them, has been big time struggling for the last couple years. We've gone over the interviews with the dateline show, with a thousand women that they had on, all sitting around saying that Bill did the same thing to them. We've talked about the audio where you know, other people have said,

oh my gosh, had I gone up into the room, I could have been raped too. But fortunately, I stayed in the lobby, but he's still a bad guy. So you want to believe, Bill. Right? You do. I do.

I do. But he has not given any press. We've seen him walking in and out of court, you know, a few times in the last couple years. So he was on with, Michael Smirkkottish on Sirius X-M. You may ask yourself, how did I get here? Sorry, talking about it.

How did Michael Smirkanish land to Bill Cosby interview? It's Philadelphia. Michael, I mean, the interview was fine. Michael did a good job. And it was on Sirius. And it was for a little over 30 minutes. And Smirk Connish is, you know, Mr. Philadelphia. Now, according to Michael, Cosby let his daughters record some things.

They recorded some of their own thoughts, and they also interviewed their dad, and they had sent, according to Smokanez, the publicist working with Cosby, got a hold of him and said, hey, would you be interested in running some audio recordings of Cosby talking to his two daughters? Now, as any radio host would do, they would say, yes, but I'm not doing it without talking to Bill himself. And so that's what happened. It was a fascinating interview.

I went into it wanting. I mean, he's America's dad, right? He's Bill Cosper. I went into it wanting to hear Bill say, I'm innocent, it's all lies, it's all over it. Now, you know, obviously, he's not going to say that. I know that. Still an ongoing, an ongoing thing.

He can't. But it was good to hear him. However, we'll go through some of the audio. We'll go through the audio. And then, you know, you can make your own decisions on if you still believe him or if you find yourself where I am. Now, he is not spoken publicly in over two years. I have not performed in over two years.

Give them some idea of what they're going to face and what they ought to do. See, it's good to hear him again. Bill Cosby, but why now? decided, I think it's time for me to do something so that the people who still have faith in me, the people who are still wondering what I sound like as opposed to the National Enquirer, which is very interesting reading when they write about me. Now, don't forget he has the audio recordings that.

that he had sent Michael Merconich from his daughters. And so throughout the interview, Michael plays some, and they reference some, and you'll hear some from his daughters. But he was asked what he hopes to achieve with the release of these recordings. It's something that says, well, here he is. And this is what he's saying. and he's not been put in a position of negative speech. And I think that's very, very important because our thing, entertainment, so to speak,

so that people really don't have chance to do anything except perhaps in their own home. It's to hear Bill Cosby, it's just a silence. It says a closet with nothing in it. I'm kidding. Now, Bill, do you hope that the jurors are going to hear this? You can't aim at jurors. Look, to my daughter, one of the most important things that I found quite interesting was when they were all in the car with me in Philadelphia years ago that I drove them on,

10th Street to parish and said, this is where and Ridge. That's right. And then I explained the bathtub and the water and the stuff. And these kids started to, these are my children. And they started to almost boo me. You're just trying to make us feel guilty so we will study it. And I think that now that she's in her years old, she really appreciates hearing that. And I think that, I always talk about Philadelphia.

If it's in my records, it was in my monologues, important to me because that's the Fat Albert, et cetera, et cetera. You know, you talked a little bit earlier in the interview as well about, you know, when he was growing up as a kid, which is fascinating and how they, you know, they didn't have any money and they'd roll up newspapers and rubber bands and that would be their football and stuff. You seriously do not get those days back. And I play this, really. So, you know, you kind of remember who the guy is, who he was. This is who we fell in love with. and then, you know, to fall from grace. Now, none of the audio or the conversations released

discusses the upcoming trial, right? No, that's that any smart person would want to do. Now, he goes on to say that he isn't planning on testifying. He isn't at liberty to discuss the upcoming trial. So, okay. What do you most want to be remembered for then? I'd like to be remembered for being the guy that they made, give back all the things they rescinded. Wait, what? I'd like to be remembered for being the guy that they made give back all the things they rescinded. But, really?

I'd like to be remembered for being the guy that they made, give back all the things they rescinded. There's another cut after this. Well, things were, I'd like to. They did. You hope to get the awards back? And that's what you would most hope to be remembered for. Well, I don't know if it's whole.

What would you like to be known for? What is your legacy? What is this and that? Something at the front and not... Yeah. Yeah, yeah, we are, Bill. Things with... I mean, proof has to be brought to the front, period.

And within the parameters of whatever you guys, I understand you're a lawyer. And, boy, the education I'm getting is absolutely fantastic. I bet it is. The old saying there are two sides to every story unravels when you're dealing with lawyers. Huh. Now, Aaron, his daughter, had this to say about her dad. What my father and family had to endure these last few years makes me ashamed of our country today. I cannot understand how our society has permitted my father to be condemned.

so unjustly and cruelly in the court of public opinion without evidence or proof and with no verdict or judgment. Like the cruel history of our people, the legal system, and the protections of the law do not seem to exist for him today. Not really true, isn't Aaron? But that's okay. You're talking about your dad. I know you love him. Now, does Bill Cosby, the dad, agree with his daughter? Does dad agree with daughter? You have me, I would have to say I cannot say, so that I can make my lawyer happy. Okay.

Because she said a lot of things. Yeah, and that is her opinion. I mean, the beauty of this is found of my daughters, because, you know, our family, the mother and just yesterday to deal with the lawyer. with the daughters and the way they feel because many, many things have happened

to them coming from and it's very, very important to know that, for instance, in show business, I think that, and celebrity, I think that these are the areas and people can walk away

saying things and there's an old show business show business saying look it doesn't make any difference as long they spell your name right well I would really debate that strongly I bet you would Bill

all right there's more to this interview and it's fascinating we talk he talks about his wife his other daughter Ensa asked if he's going to testify and then he talks about the frustration of having his deposition released. And then we'll take a look at that deposition because if that was your deposition,

you'd be frustrated with it being released as well. You're listening to the Jeff Fisher Show. The Blaze Radio Network. 2017 is going to be a volatile economic year.

Bill Cosby, on the Michael's Markconnitch. show on Sirius XM. He went on and when asked

if he had ever in the last two years lost his wife's support, he replied never. Now daughter Ansa had this recorded this is some of the tapes that they sent to Michael.

I strongly believe my father is innocent of the crimes alleged against him and I believe that racism has played a big role in all aspects of this candle. Now this is the part that you saw headlined all over America.

What? What? Bill Cosby, the guy that said, pull yourself up by your bootstraves. Mr. America, it doesn't matter. Stop whining that you're black. Get out and do something. His daughter now believes it's because of racism. Now, Smirconage asked, if Bill agreed with the statement. Could be.

Could be. Really, Bill? I can't say anything, but there are certain things that I look at and I apply to the situation. And there's physical. Aren't there? Nefarious is a great. word. Yes, it is, Bill.

And I just truly believe that some of it may very well be that. Now, Michael, questions, Jimon. Your accusers are black and white. Well, let me put it to you this way. You do that, Bill. When you look, the power structure. And when you look at individuals, there are some people who can very well motivated by whether or not they're going to work. What's?

Or whether or not they might be able to get back at someone. Of whatever the choice is, I think that you can also examine individuals and situations, and they will come out. differently. So it's not all, not every. I do think that there's, there's some. Bill, Bill, Bill. Now, he didn't necessarily agree with that, but he kind of couldn't say he didn't because of the trial. There's so much more. And you also hear later that you know his attorney's on the line because every so often you hear, this is the Jeff Fisher show. Only on the Blaze Radio Network. The Jeff Fisher Show is on.

That it is. Welcome to it. You can follow me on Twitter at Jeff EMRA. Facebook, Jeff Fisher Radio. What's my Instagram again? Oh, yeah, Jeff EMRA. And I know there's a Snapchat out there. I have no idea what it is. I think it's Jeff EMRA.

I think it is. My daughter set it up and she's like, you have a Snapchat. My daughter, who will soon be 10. Going on about 18. Very close to being 10. June 1st. First day of hurricane season. That doesn't mean much in Texas, but.

And Hurricane Allie, it does. So we're listening to Bill Cosby on the Michael Markhanich show on Sirius XM. And it's fascinating because I want, I was always a fan of Bill Cosby. Bill Cosby. And a fan of his work is Kahn. Comedy is a serious talk is pull yourself up by the bootstraps. And then crushing, crushing news that he was this deviant, this bad guy. I don't want to believe it.

I don't want to believe. So he's got a trial coming up. And his daughter's recorded some audio about him, you know, kind of remembering Bill Cosby, I guess, so that he's remembered in, you know, their way. And he goes on and on. He's been talking a little bit how he, you know, his wife has never lost faith. And earlier in the interview, he referenced being unsighted. Now, if you see Bill, when you watch the audio of him going into court now for these preliminary hearings,

he's always, you know, he's holding someone's hand, like a blind guy. So apparently He is unsighted And Smirganic asked So you know You referenced being unsighted How's your health doing? My health is

Has been known for decades Many, many decades And It is now that I exams been registered. I am registered in Massachusetts as legally

unsighted. And trust me, on my forehead and eyebrows. There are certain things that I have walked into. Now, he may want you to believe that that's from that he's walked into stuff.

I personally believe that that may be come from things being thrown at him from someone else in the house. I could be wrong. I could be wrong. Now he was also asked, you know, he's there to kind of a preliminary strike against the trial, right? I mean, that's what he's there for. This is to get some sound out and get you back to liking Bill Cosby, the Bill Cosby. And I want to.

Right now, if I'm on the jury, and this, I mean, I want, I want to like Bill Cosby. he's Bill Cosby. Don't you want to testify and tell your story? No. Wait, what? Why not? Once again, I go back to lawyers. When you have to deal with examination, cross-examination, etc., etc., more than two sides to every story.

Sometimes it's a... Or what people... People want to say, and want you to say and how they maneuver, and yes, I do have lawyers to protect me. I object, objection, sustained. I just don't want to sit there and have to figure out what what I believe. What I believe is a truthful answer as to whether or not I'm opening a can of something that my lawyers, scrambling.

Huh. Interesting. Interesting. What do you say to the people, Bill, say, you know, it's got to be true. There's a number of a number, a number of women have come out of the woodwork. What do you say to them, Bill?

I think that the numbers, the numbers, who the numbers? This is Jeffie Bath? Didn't work. The numbers came because the numbers prior to the numbers didn't work. So the piling on, impressive way, get public opinion to the other side. Isn't it, though? Isn't it?

Now, Michael gave him, you know, the obligatory. So anything else you want to say, Bill, before you leave us? I want people to understand my work as an artist, a performer, a great deal to. And in many ways, in many ways, I had a very interesting quote, a lot of things, people, trying to give them the truth, trying to motivate them and move them in a direction away from apathy sometimes, sometimes away from fear, sometimes to guide them into strength and a belief in what they fear about themselves, and taking some hits from people who are supposed to be watching out for people like this.

and I do feel that right now, right? That's a perfect example of the attorney on the other line falling asleep. Okay, no way Smirconich is breathing in it. And Bill is... And Bill is talking, so it ain't him. Roll that back a little, that's fantastic. I know, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to cut Bill off, but it just drove me.

me insane. Throughout some of the other clips, and I don't know that I don't know that anymore have it, the ones that I wanted to play for you today, but there were several throughout the entire interview. And Bill is talking, so it isn't him. He's watching out for people

like this. And I do feel that right now, right now as I speak to you, I want to get back. And the enjoyment of things that I written and things that I perform on stage and then I want to take other things and move it to give what I feel will be motivational and informational and drive people to make changes

in themselves, the home life, because the one quote that I sustain is the revolution is in the home. Come on. Put it on mute, would you? Was he waiting to cut in? Bill can't answer that. Now, his comment on the ruling about the decade

old deposition from a case that was settled, and we've covered it on the show before, and I have it, and some of what was said is amazing. I mean, this is what makes you think. This is that deposition, makes you realize what a bad guy he was.

And many people didn't want that to come out, including Mr. Cosby. And there are many attorneys who said it was wrong for the judge to put it out. But he was asked about the deposition from the case that was settled, and the judge who ruled it was okay.

I have an emotion about what the judge did and very much confused about how that came about and and caused happening today. So in this interview, you know, Michael calls it his conversation. One and done, Or is this coming out? Is Bill going to hope to get out in the public again?

That I'm afraid depends on the outcome of many things, certainly with media. How many, Bill? 20. They certainly want me to address. It happen to be very premature. I also feel that there are many filmed things and writing as well that people can take what you say and insert it, and it will mean something altogether different.

And I think that many times a person in the position I'm in will find himself or herself not enjoying that which was written, but then the excuse always comes back. Well, my editor did this, my producer, it wasn't my fault. but I think that they all knew what they were going to do. So, yes, it will happen and it should happen, but I will ask this, what happens? These people are saying, right whatsoever to be appearing.

You are correct, Bill. So, you want to perform again after the trial, right? If you're exonerated and people are going to let it happen? That too interesting. Yes, Bill, it is. If a jury says there's still public opinion. And if they, if jury comes for the other side,

say so forth and so on, opinion. So I think it's something that you never will be able to say that I'm on and decide that I'm hoping for. And after that, there's more work to be done. Uh-huh. But feel that I have in terms of my rights. Okay.

So, I gave you, I mean, the highlights. And, uh, we'll go away for a couple of minutes. We'll come back and we'll decide whether we still like it or not. This is the Jeff Fisher show on the breeze radio network. Jeff Fisher. All right. So Bill Cosby, you listen to the interview. with Michael Smirconich on Sirius XM.

You can read, I'll tweet out the actual deposition that was released. It's fascinating. He talked about powerful sedatives, pursuit of young women. Just, I mean, and then you watch the Dateline thing with 27 women. I think that the numbers. Well, I got to tell you, not every one of those 27 women convinced me on a dateline, but a few of them did. And while I really want to, I want to believe Bill Cosby is the still of Erica's dad and stuff,

and he's just a bad guy. He's just a bad guy. And the numbers were the numbers before the number. before the numbers became the numbers became the numbers. This is the Jeff Fisher show. Only on the Blaze Radio Network.
