1 00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:06,560 Speaker 1: Hey there, everybody. It is Tuesday, November eleventh, and some 2 00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:10,360 Speaker 1: big ditty headlines out in the last couple of days. 3 00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:12,640 Speaker 1: The Big One did he could get out of jail 4 00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:17,919 Speaker 1: a full year early, but he needs to stay out 5 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:21,720 Speaker 1: of trouble. If some of the headlines were reading are accurate, 6 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,959 Speaker 1: he could be maybe undoing some of the good he's 7 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:25,960 Speaker 1: doing in prison. 8 00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 2: Do you remember how much the judge in this case 9 00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,920 Speaker 2: stay consistent about not trusting him, and how much you said, no, judge, 10 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 2: but let me go home on bail and no, no 11 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:39,479 Speaker 2: d I How much could the judge possibly be fuming 12 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:45,560 Speaker 2: to hear that Diddy might be already breaking some rules. 13 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,920 Speaker 1: That's right. So headlines from his new facility. He was 14 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 1: moved to Fort Dick's Prison on October thirtieth. That's a 15 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 1: low security prison in New Jersey. Did he entered a 16 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 1: drug rehab program. That's a good thing. He's working in 17 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:03,280 Speaker 1: the prison, another good thing. He got in trouble for 18 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,680 Speaker 1: a phone call. That's a really bad thing. And then 19 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 1: now he's dealing with allegations that he vehemently denies that 20 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:16,760 Speaker 1: he drank some prison kool aid, so to speak, prison moonshine. 21 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, that good old prison hoops. That prison wine, right, 22 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,320 Speaker 2: that's so famous. Look those two things of which order 23 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 2: do you want to go here? Now? You said he's 24 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 2: refuting allegations. Those allegations, to be clear here are not 25 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,960 Speaker 2: coming from any prison official. 26 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,759 Speaker 1: That's correct, And some of the other headlines have been 27 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: at least verified by the prison from documents, etc. But no, 28 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: these are the unverified claims that he was drinking homemade alcohol. 29 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: They came from TMZ, who claims that two insiders inside 30 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: the prison confirmed for them that he was caught with 31 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 1: homemade alcohol. And I think what's making a lot of 32 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 1: headlines is what that alcohol reportedly was comprised of fermented 33 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: Fanta sugar and apples. 34 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 2: As far as prison wine goes, that doesn't sound terrible 35 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 2: from a lot of the other stuff I have heard. Yes, 36 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 2: they get hands on simple stuff. I don't know if 37 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 2: this happened. But to your point, TMZ has these headlines, TMZ, 38 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 2: it's hilarious. They have sources in prison even and I 39 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 2: believe them actually that they do have sources in prison. 40 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 2: But to hear this already, it was important. Robes his 41 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,639 Speaker 2: team and he does have a team that is working, Yes, 42 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 2: a legal team but he has a pr team already 43 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 2: working for him. They jumped on this, they did so. 44 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 1: This was the official response to all of this. This 45 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: is only his first week at FCI four Dix, and 46 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: unfortunately rumors will surface throughout his time here. We ask 47 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 1: the public and the press to give him the benefit 48 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 1: of the doubt, the privacy to focus on his personal growth, 49 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:52,919 Speaker 1: and the grace to move forward. In piece, they say, 50 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 1: the rumors claiming mister Combs was caught with alcohol are 51 00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:00,920 Speaker 1: completely false. Even his official Twitter account or x account 52 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: that his family runs. This is interesting. They denied the claims. 53 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 1: In a post over the weekend. It said the rumors 54 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,519 Speaker 1: claiming mister Colmbs was caught with alcohol are completely false. 55 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 1: His only focus is becoming the best version of himself 56 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 1: and returning to his family. They deleted that post after 57 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: they put it up initially, but by all accounts, they 58 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,959 Speaker 1: have made it very clear that this is false. 59 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 2: Reporting, and that's very important. He is already working on 60 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 2: what he's going to do and how he's going to 61 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 2: be embraced when he comes out. You don't need You're 62 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 2: a week and a half in and already headline saying 63 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 2: you're violating rules and you the guy who has been 64 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 2: abusing alcohol and drugs for the past two decades. You 65 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 2: say a week and a half and you're in there drinking. 66 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 2: He cannot have those headlines. So this is important for 67 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 2: them to shoot this down. 68 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: Immediately because that drinking and those and the drugs that 69 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 1: he admitted to taking over those decades, he says, were 70 00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: absolutely responsible for his behavior, responsible for fueling those freak offs. 71 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: So it's incredibly important, more so than any other inmate, 72 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 1: perhaps that he was clean. 73 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 2: It forced him to get clean. During the trial, he 74 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 2: didn't have access to anything, so he claims to be 75 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 2: drug free and alcohol free. At this point, we'll see. 76 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 2: I would love to ask the judge, hey man, what 77 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:18,840 Speaker 2: do you think Do. 78 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,160 Speaker 1: You think you did it? Do you think you did it? 79 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 1: But he did enter this drug rehab program, and that 80 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: is perhaps interestingly coming just what two three days after 81 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,280 Speaker 1: these initial reports of him drinking behind bars, So perhaps 82 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,719 Speaker 1: it all was timed out really well for him, and 83 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 1: it looks like he is. This is a coveted program 84 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,599 Speaker 1: to get into. It's not easy to get into, and 85 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 1: it's coveted because it comes with the promise that you 86 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 1: can cut off serious time from your prison sentence if 87 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 1: you successfully complete it. 88 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, the judge, I mean before the end of that trial, 89 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:59,280 Speaker 2: before sentencing, they were pushing for the judge, please let 90 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 2: him get into this program. Can you essentially put in 91 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 2: a good word, And the judge was okay with that. 92 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,039 Speaker 2: And the judge was the one that said, yes, be 93 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 2: a part of do this program and it could knock 94 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 2: this time off your sentence. So he now is officially 95 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 2: in it, and it's an extensive program. You're not in 96 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 2: that for a couple of weeks, a month or two. 97 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 2: This is almost a year long program he has to do. 98 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 2: And so what we're talking about Robes is people were 99 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 2: thinking he could get up to eleven years in prison. 100 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 2: He ends up getting four, which now. 101 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,160 Speaker 1: Could end up down to three exactly. 102 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:30,719 Speaker 2: It's amazing. 103 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, nine months to twelve months in this program. It's 104 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 1: a half day I believe each day. But even if 105 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: he does get released early, did he would still have 106 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,839 Speaker 1: to be under supervision for five years. 107 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 2: If he has a nice house where they can supervise him. 108 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 1: But he does have to have drug testing and mental 109 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: health meetings prescribed under his sentence. So all of that, yes, 110 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 1: he could be doing it in the luxury of his 111 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,040 Speaker 1: own home. But he will be drug tested. He will 112 00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 1: be tested for substance abuse, so this is something that 113 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 1: will at least be supervised. We're also learning about what 114 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,359 Speaker 1: he's doing now with this new lower security facility. He 115 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 1: apparently also got a coveted job of working in the 116 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 1: chapel in the library, where his Spokesversuon actually described did 117 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,799 Speaker 1: he is saying the environment is warm, respectful, and rewarding. 118 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 2: Good. That should be the case for folks we're trying 119 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 2: to rehabilitate. Fine, yes, that sounds wonderful. Now, I guess 120 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 2: folks are scratching their heads. Well, how did he get 121 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,160 Speaker 2: a coveted spot? I mean, okay, I don't know all 122 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 2: the inner workings, but I'm pretty sure he has a 123 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 2: pretty damn good resume compared to the rest of the inmates. 124 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 2: And if he hands in his professional resume, you know, 125 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 2: he's kind of qualified. 126 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: It might it might be a little better than the others. Right, So, yes, 127 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: what he has to do he has to maintain the library, 128 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 1: clean the office, help with some record keeping. But the 129 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 1: reason why it's such a coveted job is that it 130 00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: allows inmates to work in a private office, which that's 131 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 1: a big deal. Often they say it's climate controlled, which 132 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:07,279 Speaker 1: apparently is a big deal. They get. Here's the other 133 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 1: thing they said. Chaplains will oftentimes bring in food because 134 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: they'll have religious services, and they'll share them with their assistant. 135 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 1: So did he might get some better food out of this. 136 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 1: But here's the other big thing. Chaplains can allow their 137 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 1: assistance to prepare what they call a call out list, 138 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: and that tells officers which inmates get to leave their 139 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: cell to go to programs or medical appointments. And those assistants, 140 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 1: which did he now is can add connections or friends 141 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 1: to that list. So he could. It's a position of 142 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 1: power within the prison. 143 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 2: Okay, so he gets. 144 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 1: To he could could if the chaplain decides to let 145 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: him prepare the call out lists, and some other assistants 146 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: have gotten to do this. They're saying he could actually 147 00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: really have a decent amount of weight within or among 148 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 1: their prisoners, knowing he gets to create or help curate 149 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 1: this call out list. 150 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 2: Is that the world? How much of this I don't know. Again, 151 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 2: we don't know why some of this. How much of 152 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 2: it is having a guy who is influential, who probably 153 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,559 Speaker 2: does have a lot of the respect of the guys 154 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 2: there who also has been it was very business savvy. 155 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 2: He's educated, even if not in school, he is at 156 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 2: least educated in terms of life, so he might be 157 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 2: in a perfect for this job. How much of it 158 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 2: is as well? Is it disruptive at all to have 159 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,320 Speaker 2: him with the general population too much to where people 160 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 2: can start leaking things to the press and things like that. 161 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 2: We talked about this with Glenn Maxwell just the other day. 162 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 2: Maybe they are trying to keep her separate for a 163 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 2: whole host of reasons. 164 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 1: Who knows all of that makes perfect sense. In addition 165 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 1: to his resume, his attorneys or yes, his legal team 166 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 1: is saying he is restarting his free game with Ditty. 167 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 1: We heard about that at the sentencing and a little 168 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: bit at the trial, that it's this class he is 169 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 1: offering other inmates, an entrepreneurial class where he helps folks 170 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 1: who are going to be heading out into the real 171 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 1: world with actual life skills, improving their self worth, becoming 172 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,720 Speaker 1: productive citizens. And this is all a part of his 173 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:17,440 Speaker 1: do good behind bars, helping others and being a leader 174 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: and a teacher and taking all of the stuff he 175 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 1: did that was right in the world and bringing it 176 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 1: to the prison. 177 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 2: They have to applaud that. 178 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 1: They certainly did. 179 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,719 Speaker 2: He has a lot to offer the prison population. I 180 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 2: would argue seriously, he absolutely. 181 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 1: Does, and like you said, the respect. Have you seen 182 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,680 Speaker 1: some of the photos TMZ also got of him out 183 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 1: now breathing in fresh air, which his attorney said he 184 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,320 Speaker 1: hasn't been able to do in over a year, hanging out, 185 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,680 Speaker 1: but you could see everyone was around him smiles. I'm 186 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 1: sure it's a big deal to have Diddy in prison, 187 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 1: and these are lower security criminals. These aren't folks necessarily 188 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 1: who are the most violent. They're quite the opposite. So 189 00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 1: it's got to be a little bit more of a 190 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 1: better social sit situation for Didty. We mentioned some of 191 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 1: the good he did, some of the other problems already 192 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 1: that have arisen in a week and a half. According 193 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 1: to CBS News, he is facing disciplinary action right now 194 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 1: for problems with phone usage. 195 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,559 Speaker 2: We hear this so often and a lot of big 196 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 2: cases we've been covered. I guess the Menindez brothers were 197 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,079 Speaker 2: another one. But this is a big deal. This is 198 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 2: considered a major violation. They can't monitor everybody with cell 199 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 2: phones and what people are doing. They get a lot 200 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 2: of hours actually to talk on folds. You got a 201 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 2: lot of inmates. You can't monitor it. 202 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 1: All for a thousand inmates. 203 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:38,680 Speaker 2: But if you're I mean, if you you know, and 204 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 2: there's a reason these rules are in place to keep 205 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 2: the guys on the inside for continuing any criminal activity 206 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 2: on the outside. There's a reason for it. So even 207 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 2: if you do it for an innocent reason, it's still 208 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 2: a big deal. 209 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 1: Right. So specifically, this rule that Ditty is alleged to 210 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,839 Speaker 1: have violated, so the Bureau of Prisons does not allow 211 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 1: inmates to add add people to a call, So you 212 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 1: can't conference somebody into a phone call. And the reason 213 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 1: why is because they don't want inmates to coordinate criminal activity. 214 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 1: And you can only talk to people who are on 215 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 1: a specific list. So if you want to bring in 216 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 1: someone who's not on your already authorized list, that'd be 217 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 1: how you do it. You call someone like your mom 218 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 1: who's on the list. She conferences in your criminal buddy, 219 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 1: and now you're talking to somebody that wasn't approved. 220 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 2: Okay, And you could see why that could go sideways 221 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 2: and be used for criminal activity. You could see why 222 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 2: somebody would accidentally and innocently make that mistake. I don't 223 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 2: know if this was the rule at his other place 224 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 2: at the NBC in Brooklyn. 225 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 1: Or not, but if you're all seemed like it would 226 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 1: have been. 227 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 2: But if you're thrown the phone talking to your mom, 228 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 2: it's mentioned something about your niece. Oh my, is she around? 229 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 2: Can you get her on the phone right quick? I 230 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 2: want to say hi. You could see how that happens. 231 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 1: Yes, and actually many people have said there are like 232 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,840 Speaker 1: absolutely innocent reasons for wanting to do that, because you 233 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:04,440 Speaker 1: only have limited amount of time, and if you can 234 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 1: get all your family on one phone call, it certainly 235 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 1: makes that easier. However, here is what is being alleged. 236 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 1: Did he made a three person call on November third? Again? 237 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 1: He got to the prison October thirtieth. He told officials 238 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 1: it was a conversation with his legal team about issuing 239 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:23,200 Speaker 1: a statement to The New York Times. All we know, 240 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,440 Speaker 1: according to the documents that CBS got their hands on, 241 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 1: he talked to an unnamed woman. Halfway through, she asks 242 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 1: if she can add another person to the call. He 243 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:38,440 Speaker 1: says yes, And we know that Comb's talked about arranging 244 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 1: visitors for the weekend and apparently suggested they bring cash. 245 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 1: He asked for two hundred singles. We don't know why 246 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 1: or how he was intending to use that money. 247 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 2: Anything. 248 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,559 Speaker 1: Money is power, of course, and that's yes, he might 249 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 1: need to get some things out of the vending machine. 250 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 2: You suppose only have coins. That's why that was a problem. 251 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,440 Speaker 1: Correct. That is a clear violation to ask them to 252 00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 1: be in singles. He can only have coins. 253 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:01,320 Speaker 2: Could have been code for something else. 254 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 1: Cigarettes, all right, So what apparently happened did? He says 255 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,199 Speaker 1: he didn't know the rules. He said no one told 256 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,840 Speaker 1: him he couldn't conference someone in, and he said he 257 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 1: didn't receive the prison orientation handbook that he was supposed 258 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 1: to receive. Okay, So his spokesperson gave this as the response. 259 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:23,200 Speaker 1: It was a procedural call initiated by one of his 260 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 1: attorneys and was protected under attorney client privilege. There was 261 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,560 Speaker 1: nothing improper, that's what they said. 262 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:32,319 Speaker 2: But they didn't say anything about the other person being 263 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 2: conferenced din. They did address that. 264 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,080 Speaker 1: Didn't say anything about that. So prison officials recommended that 265 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 1: Combs lose ninety days of phone privileges and ninety days 266 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 1: of commissary privileges because of this infraction. 267 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:46,959 Speaker 2: That's a big deal in prison. 268 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,320 Speaker 1: That is huge. So they filed that ruling on November fourth, 269 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 1: so this is all verifiable and funny enough, November fourth 270 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 1: was his birthday. 271 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,439 Speaker 2: And we don't know though, if this has been implemented. 272 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:02,079 Speaker 1: Unclear if what they recommended he'd be penalized with actually 273 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:03,679 Speaker 1: was in force. So we don't know if he can 274 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 1: use the phone or not, but that certainly was what 275 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 1: they were recommending based on the violation that he committed 276 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: what three three days into this new home. 277 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 2: We'll know about it soon because if he's using the 278 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 2: phone still, we'll hear about the next violation. 279 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 1: I'm sure we will. All right, when we come back, 280 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 1: we're going to talk about the expedited appeals process that 281 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 1: Diddy was granted just last week. So what does that 282 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 1: look like, what are his other options of getting out early, 283 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 1: and is he still holding out for that presidential pardon? 284 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 2: All right, folks, we continue here now on Amy and 285 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 2: TJ with Ditty. Have you noticed a theme here? A 286 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 2: erbes and it's going to start happening. We're talking here 287 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 2: now the headlines of I what's going on with him 288 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 2: behind bars? The headlines before that were about his sentence. 289 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 2: We're starting and it will over the next couple of years, 290 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 2: don't you think start piecing together headlines about him that 291 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 2: are not that video, that are not baby oil, that 292 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 2: are not freak off. This is a part of him 293 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 2: and him having a team responding, I mean, shooting down 294 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 2: anything that's coming out negative from behind bars. So now 295 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 2: we're talking about he works with the chapel, he's running 296 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 2: Ditty's program, he's apologizing for a mistake in the phone. Right, 297 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 2: there's just slowly but surely, and this has to be 298 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 2: a part of him making a comeback of some kind. 299 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 1: Look, if you've got all eyes on you, everything you're 300 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 1: doing right, everything you're doing wrong behind bars, and somehow 301 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 1: you've always got somebody leaking something to the press. This 302 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 1: is a smart move. He knows he's being watched, and 303 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 1: he knows it's going to be reported. But to have 304 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 1: that PR team behind him is everything. 305 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 2: But all of these stories we've been reading, all these 306 00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 2: headlines and all the updates, everything is not Cassi even 307 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:04,240 Speaker 2: terrifying anymore. Right, it's going too slowly but sure and 308 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 2: it's going to take time for him. But this has 309 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 2: to be a part of their strategies to make sure 310 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 2: the headlines are about he's in rehab, he's being a 311 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 2: good citizen in there. 312 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 1: And refuting any negative rumors that are because those things 313 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 1: can take flight and you can never undo them. And 314 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 1: so they have been very quick and very swift to 315 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 1: manage that. So he's got his pr team working on 316 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 1: one hand, his legal team on the other, and they 317 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 1: got an expect an expedited appeals process already set in place. 318 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 1: That happened last week on November third. 319 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 2: They had another positive headline. 320 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 1: Yes, another positive headline. So his team has to get 321 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 1: their brief into the courts by December twenty third. The 322 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 1: government gets theirs by February twentieth. Comb's team gets to 323 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 1: reply to the government's brief in March, and then oral 324 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 1: arguments on an appeal are already set now for April 325 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty six. That is a very speedy process. 326 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 2: So, talking about speed, we talked about him possibly getting 327 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 2: one year office sentence already. We still have to keep 328 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 2: in mind he's got options now for that May twenty 329 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:08,680 Speaker 2: twenty eight date. 330 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,840 Speaker 1: Is it, Yes, the release May eighth, twenty twenty eight 331 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 1: is his scheduled release date. 332 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:14,680 Speaker 2: That thing is moving back, ain't it. 333 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 1: It could be May eighth, twenty twenty seven. Then you've 334 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 1: got good behavior that can chip away at that time 335 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 1: as well, and your appeals are still yeah, because the 336 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 1: legal team, just to remind everyone, is challenging the Man 337 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 1: Act and that is what prosecutors used to convict him, 338 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:34,480 Speaker 1: and a lot of people were believe that was a 339 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 1: little bit of a shaky legal round there. This is 340 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:42,359 Speaker 1: a controversial act that was intended to basically prohibit people 341 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 1: from transporting folks across state lines to engage in sexual 342 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,679 Speaker 1: activity or prostitution. And it was originally called the White 343 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:52,640 Speaker 1: Slave Traffic Act. 344 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 2: Slave Traffic Act, what was it? Which championship boxer's married 345 00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 2: to a woman they got in trouble with this same 346 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 2: it started being used in racist ways. 347 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 1: Yes, to prohibit black men from having sex from white 348 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:07,400 Speaker 1: women with white women, period. So they are challenging the 349 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:11,239 Speaker 1: usage of the Man Act to Diddy, and you know, 350 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 1: a lot of people believe they have a decent argument there. 351 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:19,159 Speaker 1: Of course, that presidential pardon is still on the table. 352 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 1: Trump has not ruled it out, not at all, and 353 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 1: the Diddy team has acknowledged that they have officially asked 354 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 1: the president to consider pardoning did he but. 355 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 2: He handed out those pardons this week about the all 356 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:36,199 Speaker 2: the the Georgia election hoax, all that stuff. I was 357 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 2: digging through there when I saw the headlines. 358 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:42,479 Speaker 1: Darryl Strawberry in there, I thought, well, he sneaked him 359 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 1: in one of them. That was another. He's had a lot, 360 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:51,720 Speaker 1: He's had several waves of pardoning folks. Yes, so that 361 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 1: is And look, TMZ had said, I believe it was 362 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,920 Speaker 1: two weeks ago that it was imminent that President Trump 363 00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 1: was absolutely going to pardon him. And they actually put 364 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 1: something out saying we still stand by our reporting. They 365 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:06,919 Speaker 1: are putting us like a stake down saying he is 366 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 1: President Trump is going to pardon Didny. 367 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:09,440 Speaker 2: Wow. 368 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 1: We shall see. But yes, the eyes of the world 369 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 1: continued to be on that Fort Dick's prison in New Jersey, 370 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 1: and certainly we will be following the story as any 371 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:23,159 Speaker 1: new developments developed.
