Bill Cosby's Conviction Being Overturned

This is the third time on your show, by the way. I am so fucking honored. Oh, please, I'm honored, dude. And I feel nothing but massive amounts of respect for you. I really want to be your Regis Philbin, your Tony Randall. I am loco my brother whenever someone cancels. I figured Cosby couldn't make it. Joe's like, hey man, can you come on Monday? Can you come on Monday and do the show? Like, damn it, Cosby. Can you imagine what had Cosby on? I don't think you could, as a man, I don't think we could actually be around a guy like that. I have daughters. It would be too hard. Yeah, of course. I have two stepdaughters and my own daughter. It was crazy. It was a crazy thing to see the news that he was getting out. I was like, wow, that's wild. And then how many people were defending it? It was interesting. They disingenuously defend. They wrote this article, you know, they do click bait, about Geraldo Rivera defending it. And he wasn't defending- He was defending the legal process. Exactly. He wasn't defending him at all. But he was, see if you can find a headline for the very disingenuous, the way they labeled it. Because Geraldo Rivera was essentially saying they tried his character versus trying his acts. The problem is he had made a deal with the prosecutor to- Under immunity. Under immunity, he testified in a civil case. And then they played that for the grand jury. He used that to prosecute him. And I don't know, what did he say in the civil case? Did they- It was something to be effective. Yeah, I drugged him. He apologized? Yeah, I'm trying to find out. But you know what's interesting is the response. So this is, and I believe 100% in the law and there's obvious people who are at fault here who made these deals and use this information incorrectly, but the law is the law. But the response, the public outcry or lack of it will be very different, I predict. And I don't want to equate these things, but I think the damage he's done to women is pretty fucking severe. Derek Chauvin may get off on a technicality somewhere down the road. Why? There's still the Maxine Waters thing. Let's just say it happens. Maxine Waters thing. She was tampering with a possible jury pool by talking about, by traveling to the state, by talking about it publicly. This is an old story. But regardless, it's possible that can happen. Took Cosby a couple of years. Derek Chauvin could get off on a ... Forget why. He could get off on a technicality. What the fuck do we know? That's going to make people fucking crazy. So is it equal? I mean, what Cosby did, I mean, that's ... I mean, where's the outrage? I think this is ... I think it's ... Even though technically the law is correct, the people who fucked it up need to be held to account. I think people are coming to grips with it right now where they're like, holy shit. Is this real? Is he out? Yeah. So I think the dust is not even remotely settled. And the thing that Geraldo was saying is that this could possibly apply to Harvey Weinstein as well. Oh, well, there you go. This is what he was saying that they tried Harvey Weinstein based on his character versus based on the actual legal facts. I don't know if that's true though. I don't know if that's true. But Harvey Weinstein still ... There's still other cases out there that he has to ... The law is a crazy thing, Joe. I mean, the way it's all about interpretation. It's how a judge interprets it or a Supreme Court. I mean, it's ... Again, we all look at the same movie, but we might be ... The same screen, we might be seeing a different movie.
