Joe Rogan Experience #1111 - Abby Martin

um five four three two one abby martin ladies and gentlemen how are you great
how are you good day
to be here a lot of crazy going down exactly it's a crazy day for bill cosby
whoopsies hey i'm i'm
reeling in that news man yeah i was i was wondering what was going to happen
because the first one
was a mistrial is that what happened yeah but what so what's the difference
between this one
is this a civil suit or is this i think these are these aren't civil this was
uh the retrial so he
got convicted of felony charges 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 he's
already blind yeah he's very yeah he's he could barely see right good i'm so
happy that he's getting
charged at the end of his life that's amazing he's a creepy dude he liked to
have sex with
lifeless dead bodies yeah we were trying i mean purely speculation right like
what would cause
someone to want to do that like what but i 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 it's
disgusting it's 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 watch it but uh you know
they were obviously
fucking crazy people they did wild but it was common i mean this was how people
lived they would storm
into villages and kill everybody this was normal 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 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 you know 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 that is horrifying it's fucking scary
especially when you couch yourself
into being this like responsible like i'm gonna lecture all the black people
pull up your pants
yeah be good yeah i remember one time wanda sykes interviewed him at something
and he was uh
chastising her on the way she was talking wow her english and he was wearing
sunglasses inside
he's like sorry i'm just recovering off the raping that i just did i can't see
people i can't look
you in the eyes i'm all raped out 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 oh slapped him in
the face yeah hopefully that happens to him all over the world i i think that
he's a disgusting pig who
should be chased out of every public forum there's a lot of those out there
there's a lot of a lot of
creepy humans in this world you know i just 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 going to know right
whereas you know like again 50 years ago nobody knew anything like think about
jfk right think about
all this that's going on with trump and trump just kind of just it's like water
off a duck's back with
trump for whatever reason so he's got some strange ability to just like fake
news that's his brand his
brand has been a misogynist piece of yeah it's part well it's also he does he's
he just says it's lies
yeah and he just keeps going and everybody knows it's not a lie like what are
you going to do well
he's not freaking out he's acting like business as usual and somehow or another
that's okay like it's
but if you go back to like what jfk was up to like jfk was a freaking freak and
everybody knows it it's
like yeah comic but he was a freak in the area in the era where the press knew
everything that was going
on and everybody like kind of kept their mouth shut and everybody there was
like an unspoken agreement
that they wouldn't report on affairs and all the other stuff and it's just it's
fascinating to see
our culture change wildly over a short period of time yeah the tabloid
journalism has taken
completely over i mean that's true it's good but um to see what these people
are really doing but yeah
you're totally right jfk was a complete womanizer yeah it's like lauded as this
hero still i think
everybody was back then yeah i think that's what they did i think that's why
they wanted to be
president in the first place so they could just everything that moves while
trying to save the
free world it's weird it's weird you know we're in a strange time i think
historians in the future
when they go back to the period where the internet was created essentially was
like 94 when it became
mainstream i think they're going to look at this time between 94 and 2018 as
unprecedented explosion of
change trump is nuts i don't understand why you know the stormy daniels thing i
feel like could be his
undoing i don't think anything is going to come out of the russia stuff i think
that if anything it's
going to come out of the michael cohen yeah it could be but him pardoning libya
is basically him
sending a message saying don't worry man i got your back i'm going to pardon
you if you go to jail
to cohen i think because i mean why the hell why why else would you just pardon
dick cheney's former
man oh yeah scooter libby yeah yeah i don't understand that it was just him
basically just
being like don't worry bro got your back i'll get you out of prison yeah bush
didn't even pardon that
guy right he was committed sentence yeah it's it's insane the trump stuff's
nuts the stormy daniels
thing is is ridiculous did you see that interview with anderson cooper no i
didn't watch that nuts
i mean it's just the craziest part about it is not the fact that he had sex
with a porn star and that
she was trying to do a transactional thing to get on the apprentice it's that
he sent someone to
threaten her and her child yeah after that yeah he's nuts yeah i think what is
he capable of you
know i think that's standard operational procedure for a lot of people you know
he's a he's he's a
mafia acting dude well that wasn't that what who who wrote who who was saying
that about oh comey
comey was saying that it was essentially it reminded him of when he was
prosecuting the mob that they
have this sort of you know same kind of attitude this us versus them keep
everything together loyalty is
everything totally yeah um by the way great job at stand up i've been going to
a bunch of stand-up
shows everyone just talks about jerking off to pixelated porn in the 80s and
their dicks and i
mean you you your set was awesome and i really encourage everyone to check it
out it's just it was
amazing thank you yeah it was really fun i filmed a netflix special last
weekend how was it it's great i'm
very excited very happy what is it called i haven't decided yet the tour i was
calling strange times
because you know obviously we're in strange times i might just keep that i don't
know i might change
the name i don't know i really haven't decided i was impressed there's a lot of
really good jokes
about trump which is you would think would be easy but i guess for comedians it's
probably
not easy because it's so satirical what the world that we're living in well
yeah the problem is reality
is already a joke it's like so it's so crazy that you have to have you have to
figure out what is your
unique perspective yeah you know if you have one you know i just think we're
very childlike in what we do
with and you know how we treat our leaders and how we choose our leaders and i'm
really fascinated by
the cult of personality that goes behind really any big time leader whether it's
trump or obama there's
people that think that person can do no wrong i was very fascinated by that
with hillary there was a
giant group of people that refused to look at any of the things that hillary
was doing that were wrong
any of the things like the clinton foundation or those speeches that she was
giving to these bankers
where she wouldn't release the transcripts or the lies that she would talk
about the difference between
comey's version of what the fbi had found her to have done wrong versus her
version of it and there's
a video where you see the two of them back to back and she's a deceptive person
she's clearly a liar
she's not she's not a good person she's not like this shining example of what
we would like our
leader to be we'd like our lead like love or hate or obama what that guy was to
me was like a statesman
like he's so the way he would communicate was so calm and smooth and he was you
know if even if you
didn't like his policy you got to admit the guy was incredibly articulate
beautifully literate like
the way he would speak and communicate he was well read like he to me
represented what i would like
the version of the person who's running the big thing to be and i think that's
the whole crux of
people who have brainwashed themselves into thinking there's some sort of like
deep state um
apparatus that's outing trump i think that the real problem look the deep state
is the military
industrial complex they're winning at the end of the day no matter what defense
contractor stocks are
skyrocketing trump is basically the de facto arms salesman in chief on the
phone to the japanese
prime minister being like hawk these killer drones bro like we got to sell
these surveillance drones
that's who's going to win at the end of the day the neoliberal establishment is
who hates him because
he removes the mask of empire that's what he does he removes the mask he's
making it less palatable
to sell imperialism around the world and i think that's that's the crux of why
you see kind of these
think tankers and the liberals on on tv and we can get into this later but
there's a whole misnomer
going on about the left and a mischaracterization about the left the left has
no power in this country
the left has no voice in terms of news coverage so all these people rachel maddow
she is not left she
is a neoliberal corporate shill you you say that and so does jimmy door jimmy
door says the same thing
yeah he just thinks that she does not represent the left not at all and there's
a myth of of the fact that
the media is liberal in general i think that you know tv culture aside news is
not there is no
liberal media media is owned by multinational corporations with conservative
business owners
that have interlocking boards of directorates at defense contractors monsanto
etc those people
aren't fucking liberal they're not left they they push down their policies it
doesn't matter if you're
a maoist working at washington times you're not gonna be able to put out
that contradictory narrative yeah that your shareholders are pushing um it's it's
really
unfortunate that the left has been basically i don't know i mean they've just
demonized the entire
left where now you have the nra fomenting civil war against the fucking left
trump and all of his
followers are just like the left is is what's really wrong with this country
where there's no power
we don't have any power you've given me like i have more of a platform than
probably any other leftist
because you have given me a platform on the show when have you ever heard my
views like on tv ever
you know what i mean well when you were on tv i heard them
which is why we go to rt it's nuts yeah but that's a weird thing too right
because people think of russia
you kno
