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... 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 of years. So he was on with Michael Smirkkottish on Sirius X-M. And you may ask yourself, how did I get here? Sorry, talking about it. How did Michael Smirkhanish land at Bill Cosby interview? It's Philadelphia. Michael, I mean, the interview was fine.

Michael did a good job. and it was on serious, and it was for a little over 30 minutes. And Smirkanich 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 Smirconnich, the publicist working with Cosby, got a hold of him and said, 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?

It's Bill Cosby. 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 he had sent Michael Murchanich 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. 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, any sort of chance to do anything except perhaps in their own home. It's, to hear Bill Cosby, it's just a silence is 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 rambling a guy. 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. 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 kind of remember who the guy is, who he was. This is who we fell in love with. And then, you know, the 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. 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 hoped. Ask you, 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 would...

I mean, proof of it. has to be brought to the front, period. 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. 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 see. seem to exist for him today. That's 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, Mother's Day, to deal with the lawyers, with, with the daughters, and the way they feel, because many, many things have happened to them coming from, and it's very, very, very, important to know that, for instance, in show business, I think that, and celebrity, I think that these are the areas where people can walk away saying things, and there's an old show business, show business thing. Look, it doesn't make any difference as long as they spell your name right. Well, I wouldn't really debate that strongly. I bet you would. I bet you would, Bill.

He went on and when asked if he had ever in the last two years lost his wife's support, he replied, never, 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 scandal. 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. He 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 physicals. Aren't there? So many different. Aren't there? Nefarious is a great.

Yes, it is, Bill. And I just truly believe that some of it may very well be that. Now, Michael questions him on. Your accusers are black and white. Well, let me put it to you this way. You do that, Bill. When you look 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 someone. Whatever the choice is, I think that you can also examine individuals and situations, and they will come. come out differently. You know, you can make your own decisions on if you still believe him or if you find yourself where I am. 2017 is going to be a volatile economic year.
