WEBVTT - Diddy Could Be Released A Full Year Early, But Rumors Already Swirling About Bad Behavior From Bad Boy Records Mogul

0:00:02.240 --> 0:00:06.560
<v Speaker 1>Hey there, everybody. It is Tuesday, November eleventh, and some

0:00:06.680 --> 0:00:10.360
<v Speaker 1>big ditty headlines out in the last couple of days.

0:00:10.360 --> 0:00:12.640
<v Speaker 1>The Big One did he could get out of jail

0:00:12.880 --> 0:00:17.919
<v Speaker 1>a full year early, but he needs to stay out

0:00:17.920 --> 0:00:21.720
<v Speaker 1>of trouble. If some of the headlines were reading are accurate,

0:00:22.079 --> 0:00:24.959
<v Speaker 1>he could be maybe undoing some of the good he's

0:00:24.960 --> 0:00:25.960
<v Speaker 1>doing in prison.

0:00:26.120 --> 0:00:30.400
<v Speaker 2>Do you remember how much the judge in this case

0:00:30.440 --> 0:00:33.920
<v Speaker 2>stay consistent about not trusting him, and how much you said, no, judge,

0:00:34.040 --> 0:00:36.000
<v Speaker 2>but let me go home on bail and no, no

0:00:36.080 --> 0:00:39.479
<v Speaker 2>d I How much could the judge possibly be fuming

0:00:40.240 --> 0:00:45.560
<v Speaker 2>to hear that Diddy might be already breaking some rules.

0:00:45.600 --> 0:00:48.920
<v Speaker 1>That's right. So headlines from his new facility. He was

0:00:49.000 --> 0:00:52.720
<v Speaker 1>moved to Fort Dick's Prison on October thirtieth. That's a

0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:56.160
<v Speaker 1>low security prison in New Jersey. Did he entered a

0:00:56.280 --> 0:00:59.400
<v Speaker 1>drug rehab program. That's a good thing. He's working in

0:00:59.400 --> 0:01:03.280
<v Speaker 1>the prison, another good thing. He got in trouble for

0:01:03.360 --> 0:01:06.680
<v Speaker 1>a phone call. That's a really bad thing. And then

0:01:06.800 --> 0:01:11.560
<v Speaker 1>now he's dealing with allegations that he vehemently denies that

0:01:11.600 --> 0:01:16.760
<v Speaker 1>he drank some prison kool aid, so to speak, prison moonshine.

0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:20.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that good old prison hoops. That prison wine, right,

0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:24.320
<v Speaker 2>that's so famous. Look those two things of which order

0:01:24.319 --> 0:01:25.800
<v Speaker 2>do you want to go here? Now? You said he's

0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:30.360
<v Speaker 2>refuting allegations. Those allegations, to be clear here are not

0:01:30.440 --> 0:01:32.960
<v Speaker 2>coming from any prison official.

0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:35.759
<v Speaker 1>That's correct, And some of the other headlines have been

0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:40.600
<v Speaker 1>at least verified by the prison from documents, etc. But no,

0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:44.160
<v Speaker 1>these are the unverified claims that he was drinking homemade alcohol.

0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:49.240
<v Speaker 1>They came from TMZ, who claims that two insiders inside

0:01:49.760 --> 0:01:54.320
<v Speaker 1>the prison confirmed for them that he was caught with

0:01:54.480 --> 0:01:57.280
<v Speaker 1>homemade alcohol. And I think what's making a lot of

0:01:57.280 --> 0:02:02.680
<v Speaker 1>headlines is what that alcohol reportedly was comprised of fermented

0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:05.520
<v Speaker 1>Fanta sugar and apples.

0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:10.000
<v Speaker 2>As far as prison wine goes, that doesn't sound terrible

0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:12.320
<v Speaker 2>from a lot of the other stuff I have heard. Yes,

0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:14.600
<v Speaker 2>they get hands on simple stuff. I don't know if

0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:18.280
<v Speaker 2>this happened. But to your point, TMZ has these headlines, TMZ,

0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:21.240
<v Speaker 2>it's hilarious. They have sources in prison even and I

0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:24.000
<v Speaker 2>believe them actually that they do have sources in prison.

0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:27.760
<v Speaker 2>But to hear this already, it was important. Robes his

0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:30.639
<v Speaker 2>team and he does have a team that is working, Yes,

0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:33.400
<v Speaker 2>a legal team but he has a pr team already

0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:35.680
<v Speaker 2>working for him. They jumped on this, they did so.

0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:38.680
<v Speaker 1>This was the official response to all of this. This

0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:41.720
<v Speaker 1>is only his first week at FCI four Dix, and

0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:44.720
<v Speaker 1>unfortunately rumors will surface throughout his time here. We ask

0:02:44.800 --> 0:02:47.520
<v Speaker 1>the public and the press to give him the benefit

0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:50.880
<v Speaker 1>of the doubt, the privacy to focus on his personal growth,

0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:52.919
<v Speaker 1>and the grace to move forward. In piece, they say,

0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:56.320
<v Speaker 1>the rumors claiming mister Combs was caught with alcohol are

0:02:56.440 --> 0:03:00.920
<v Speaker 1>completely false. Even his official Twitter account or x account

0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:04.280
<v Speaker 1>that his family runs. This is interesting. They denied the claims.

0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:07.360
<v Speaker 1>In a post over the weekend. It said the rumors

0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:10.519
<v Speaker 1>claiming mister Colmbs was caught with alcohol are completely false.

0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:13.320
<v Speaker 1>His only focus is becoming the best version of himself

0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:16.880
<v Speaker 1>and returning to his family. They deleted that post after

0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:20.200
<v Speaker 1>they put it up initially, but by all accounts, they

0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:22.959
<v Speaker 1>have made it very clear that this is false.

0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:26.720
<v Speaker 2>Reporting, and that's very important. He is already working on

0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:29.360
<v Speaker 2>what he's going to do and how he's going to

0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:32.680
<v Speaker 2>be embraced when he comes out. You don't need You're

0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:35.280
<v Speaker 2>a week and a half in and already headline saying

0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:39.360
<v Speaker 2>you're violating rules and you the guy who has been

0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:42.560
<v Speaker 2>abusing alcohol and drugs for the past two decades. You

0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:46.120
<v Speaker 2>say a week and a half and you're in there drinking.

0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:48.600
<v Speaker 2>He cannot have those headlines. So this is important for

0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:49.720
<v Speaker 2>them to shoot this down.

0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:53.240
<v Speaker 1>Immediately because that drinking and those and the drugs that

0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:56.680
<v Speaker 1>he admitted to taking over those decades, he says, were

0:03:56.840 --> 0:04:02.080
<v Speaker 1>absolutely responsible for his behavior, responsible for fueling those freak offs.

0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:05.280
<v Speaker 1>So it's incredibly important, more so than any other inmate,

0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:06.360
<v Speaker 1>perhaps that he was clean.

0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:08.640
<v Speaker 2>It forced him to get clean. During the trial, he

0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:11.240
<v Speaker 2>didn't have access to anything, so he claims to be

0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:15.520
<v Speaker 2>drug free and alcohol free. At this point, we'll see.

0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:17.440
<v Speaker 2>I would love to ask the judge, hey man, what

0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:18.840
<v Speaker 2>do you think Do.

0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:20.160
<v Speaker 1>You think you did it? Do you think you did it?

0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:24.560
<v Speaker 1>But he did enter this drug rehab program, and that

0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:28.880
<v Speaker 1>is perhaps interestingly coming just what two three days after

0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:32.280
<v Speaker 1>these initial reports of him drinking behind bars, So perhaps

0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:35.719
<v Speaker 1>it all was timed out really well for him, and

0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:38.920
<v Speaker 1>it looks like he is. This is a coveted program

0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:41.599
<v Speaker 1>to get into. It's not easy to get into, and

0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:45.360
<v Speaker 1>it's coveted because it comes with the promise that you

0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:49.480
<v Speaker 1>can cut off serious time from your prison sentence if

0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:50.839
<v Speaker 1>you successfully complete it.

0:04:50.960 --> 0:04:54.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the judge, I mean before the end of that trial,

0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:59.280
<v Speaker 2>before sentencing, they were pushing for the judge, please let

0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:01.200
<v Speaker 2>him get into this program. Can you essentially put in

0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:03.680
<v Speaker 2>a good word, And the judge was okay with that.

0:05:03.720 --> 0:05:06.039
<v Speaker 2>And the judge was the one that said, yes, be

0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:08.360
<v Speaker 2>a part of do this program and it could knock

0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:11.320
<v Speaker 2>this time off your sentence. So he now is officially

0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:13.640
<v Speaker 2>in it, and it's an extensive program. You're not in

0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:15.400
<v Speaker 2>that for a couple of weeks, a month or two.

0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:18.320
<v Speaker 2>This is almost a year long program he has to do.

0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:21.520
<v Speaker 2>And so what we're talking about Robes is people were

0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:24.320
<v Speaker 2>thinking he could get up to eleven years in prison.

0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:28.560
<v Speaker 2>He ends up getting four, which now.

0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:30.160
<v Speaker 1>Could end up down to three exactly.

0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:30.719
<v Speaker 2>It's amazing.

0:05:30.800 --> 0:05:33.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, nine months to twelve months in this program. It's

0:05:33.600 --> 0:05:36.560
<v Speaker 1>a half day I believe each day. But even if

0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:39.080
<v Speaker 1>he does get released early, did he would still have

0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:42.839
<v Speaker 1>to be under supervision for five years.

0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:45.240
<v Speaker 2>If he has a nice house where they can supervise him.

0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:48.320
<v Speaker 1>But he does have to have drug testing and mental

0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:53.120
<v Speaker 1>health meetings prescribed under his sentence. So all of that, yes,

0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:54.680
<v Speaker 1>he could be doing it in the luxury of his

0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:57.040
<v Speaker 1>own home. But he will be drug tested. He will

0:05:57.080 --> 0:06:00.400
<v Speaker 1>be tested for substance abuse, so this is something that

0:06:00.440 --> 0:06:04.800
<v Speaker 1>will at least be supervised. We're also learning about what

0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:08.359
<v Speaker 1>he's doing now with this new lower security facility. He

0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:12.240
<v Speaker 1>apparently also got a coveted job of working in the

0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:17.960
<v Speaker 1>chapel in the library, where his Spokesversuon actually described did

0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:21.799
<v Speaker 1>he is saying the environment is warm, respectful, and rewarding.

0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:25.240
<v Speaker 2>Good. That should be the case for folks we're trying

0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:29.000
<v Speaker 2>to rehabilitate. Fine, yes, that sounds wonderful. Now, I guess

0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:31.000
<v Speaker 2>folks are scratching their heads. Well, how did he get

0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:34.160
<v Speaker 2>a coveted spot? I mean, okay, I don't know all

0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:36.839
<v Speaker 2>the inner workings, but I'm pretty sure he has a

0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:40.440
<v Speaker 2>pretty damn good resume compared to the rest of the inmates.

0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:43.400
<v Speaker 2>And if he hands in his professional resume, you know,

0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:44.440
<v Speaker 2>he's kind of qualified.

0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:47.200
<v Speaker 1>It might it might be a little better than the others. Right, So, yes,

0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:50.200
<v Speaker 1>what he has to do he has to maintain the library,

0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:53.040
<v Speaker 1>clean the office, help with some record keeping. But the

0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:56.440
<v Speaker 1>reason why it's such a coveted job is that it

0:06:56.520 --> 0:07:00.560
<v Speaker 1>allows inmates to work in a private office, which that's

0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:03.760
<v Speaker 1>a big deal. Often they say it's climate controlled, which

0:07:03.760 --> 0:07:07.279
<v Speaker 1>apparently is a big deal. They get. Here's the other

0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:10.440
<v Speaker 1>thing they said. Chaplains will oftentimes bring in food because

0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:14.280
<v Speaker 1>they'll have religious services, and they'll share them with their assistant.

0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:16.840
<v Speaker 1>So did he might get some better food out of this.

0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:20.960
<v Speaker 1>But here's the other big thing. Chaplains can allow their

0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:25.040
<v Speaker 1>assistance to prepare what they call a call out list,

0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:29.200
<v Speaker 1>and that tells officers which inmates get to leave their

0:07:29.320 --> 0:07:33.840
<v Speaker 1>cell to go to programs or medical appointments. And those assistants,

0:07:33.880 --> 0:07:37.440
<v Speaker 1>which did he now is can add connections or friends

0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:39.480
<v Speaker 1>to that list. So he could. It's a position of

0:07:39.560 --> 0:07:41.920
<v Speaker 1>power within the prison.

0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:45.960
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so he gets.

0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:51.200
<v Speaker 1>To he could could if the chaplain decides to let

0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:54.400
<v Speaker 1>him prepare the call out lists, and some other assistants

0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:56.400
<v Speaker 1>have gotten to do this. They're saying he could actually

0:07:56.400 --> 0:08:00.880
<v Speaker 1>really have a decent amount of weight within or among

0:08:00.920 --> 0:08:03.720
<v Speaker 1>their prisoners, knowing he gets to create or help curate

0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:04.760
<v Speaker 1>this call out list.

0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:07.720
<v Speaker 2>Is that the world? How much of this I don't know. Again,

0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:09.880
<v Speaker 2>we don't know why some of this. How much of

0:08:09.920 --> 0:08:13.760
<v Speaker 2>it is having a guy who is influential, who probably

0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:15.559
<v Speaker 2>does have a lot of the respect of the guys

0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:18.400
<v Speaker 2>there who also has been it was very business savvy.

0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:20.840
<v Speaker 2>He's educated, even if not in school, he is at

0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:24.360
<v Speaker 2>least educated in terms of life, so he might be

0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:27.800
<v Speaker 2>in a perfect for this job. How much of it

0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:30.840
<v Speaker 2>is as well? Is it disruptive at all to have

0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:34.320
<v Speaker 2>him with the general population too much to where people

0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:38.120
<v Speaker 2>can start leaking things to the press and things like that.

0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:40.360
<v Speaker 2>We talked about this with Glenn Maxwell just the other day.

0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:42.760
<v Speaker 2>Maybe they are trying to keep her separate for a

0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:44.040
<v Speaker 2>whole host of reasons.

0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:47.640
<v Speaker 1>Who knows all of that makes perfect sense. In addition

0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:51.160
<v Speaker 1>to his resume, his attorneys or yes, his legal team

0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:53.600
<v Speaker 1>is saying he is restarting his free game with Ditty.

0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:56.520
<v Speaker 1>We heard about that at the sentencing and a little

0:08:56.520 --> 0:08:58.520
<v Speaker 1>bit at the trial, that it's this class he is

0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:03.480
<v Speaker 1>offering other inmates, an entrepreneurial class where he helps folks

0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:05.800
<v Speaker 1>who are going to be heading out into the real

0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:10.920
<v Speaker 1>world with actual life skills, improving their self worth, becoming

0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:13.720
<v Speaker 1>productive citizens. And this is all a part of his

0:09:13.840 --> 0:09:17.440
<v Speaker 1>do good behind bars, helping others and being a leader

0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:20.040
<v Speaker 1>and a teacher and taking all of the stuff he

0:09:20.080 --> 0:09:22.480
<v Speaker 1>did that was right in the world and bringing it

0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:23.120
<v Speaker 1>to the prison.

0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:25.760
<v Speaker 2>They have to applaud that.

0:09:26.720 --> 0:09:27.400
<v Speaker 1>They certainly did.

0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:29.719
<v Speaker 2>He has a lot to offer the prison population. I

0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:31.960
<v Speaker 2>would argue seriously, he absolutely.

0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:33.680
<v Speaker 1>Does, and like you said, the respect. Have you seen

0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:36.680
<v Speaker 1>some of the photos TMZ also got of him out

0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:39.640
<v Speaker 1>now breathing in fresh air, which his attorney said he

0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:42.320
<v Speaker 1>hasn't been able to do in over a year, hanging out,

0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:45.680
<v Speaker 1>but you could see everyone was around him smiles. I'm

0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:48.760
<v Speaker 1>sure it's a big deal to have Diddy in prison,

0:09:48.840 --> 0:09:54.040
<v Speaker 1>and these are lower security criminals. These aren't folks necessarily

0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:57.200
<v Speaker 1>who are the most violent. They're quite the opposite. So

0:09:57.280 --> 0:09:59.120
<v Speaker 1>it's got to be a little bit more of a

0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:02.320
<v Speaker 1>better social sit situation for Didty. We mentioned some of

0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:05.440
<v Speaker 1>the good he did, some of the other problems already

0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:08.480
<v Speaker 1>that have arisen in a week and a half. According

0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:12.760
<v Speaker 1>to CBS News, he is facing disciplinary action right now

0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:16.000
<v Speaker 1>for problems with phone usage.

0:10:16.200 --> 0:10:18.559
<v Speaker 2>We hear this so often and a lot of big

0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:20.760
<v Speaker 2>cases we've been covered. I guess the Menindez brothers were

0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:23.079
<v Speaker 2>another one. But this is a big deal. This is

0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:27.120
<v Speaker 2>considered a major violation. They can't monitor everybody with cell

0:10:27.160 --> 0:10:29.400
<v Speaker 2>phones and what people are doing. They get a lot

0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:31.480
<v Speaker 2>of hours actually to talk on folds. You got a

0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:32.920
<v Speaker 2>lot of inmates. You can't monitor it.

0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:34.520
<v Speaker 1>All for a thousand inmates.

0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:38.680
<v Speaker 2>But if you're I mean, if you you know, and

0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:41.120
<v Speaker 2>there's a reason these rules are in place to keep

0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:44.240
<v Speaker 2>the guys on the inside for continuing any criminal activity

0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:47.080
<v Speaker 2>on the outside. There's a reason for it. So even

0:10:47.120 --> 0:10:50.600
<v Speaker 2>if you do it for an innocent reason, it's still

0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:51.160
<v Speaker 2>a big deal.

0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:55.160
<v Speaker 1>Right. So specifically, this rule that Ditty is alleged to

0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:58.839
<v Speaker 1>have violated, so the Bureau of Prisons does not allow

0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:01.720
<v Speaker 1>inmates to add add people to a call, So you

0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:06.360
<v Speaker 1>can't conference somebody into a phone call. And the reason

0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:11.920
<v Speaker 1>why is because they don't want inmates to coordinate criminal activity.

0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:13.520
<v Speaker 1>And you can only talk to people who are on

0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:16.400
<v Speaker 1>a specific list. So if you want to bring in

0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:21.040
<v Speaker 1>someone who's not on your already authorized list, that'd be

0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:23.600
<v Speaker 1>how you do it. You call someone like your mom

0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:27.720
<v Speaker 1>who's on the list. She conferences in your criminal buddy,

0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:30.920
<v Speaker 1>and now you're talking to somebody that wasn't approved.

0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:33.960
<v Speaker 2>Okay, And you could see why that could go sideways

0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:36.160
<v Speaker 2>and be used for criminal activity. You could see why

0:11:36.200 --> 0:11:41.760
<v Speaker 2>somebody would accidentally and innocently make that mistake. I don't

0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:44.040
<v Speaker 2>know if this was the rule at his other place

0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:46.320
<v Speaker 2>at the NBC in Brooklyn.

0:11:46.400 --> 0:11:48.560
<v Speaker 1>Or not, but if you're all seemed like it would

0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:48.800
<v Speaker 1>have been.

0:11:48.880 --> 0:11:50.600
<v Speaker 2>But if you're thrown the phone talking to your mom,

0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:53.160
<v Speaker 2>it's mentioned something about your niece. Oh my, is she around?

0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:54.280
<v Speaker 2>Can you get her on the phone right quick? I

0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:56.280
<v Speaker 2>want to say hi. You could see how that happens.

0:11:56.360 --> 0:11:59.440
<v Speaker 1>Yes, and actually many people have said there are like

0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:02.840
<v Speaker 1>absolutely innocent reasons for wanting to do that, because you

0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:04.440
<v Speaker 1>only have limited amount of time, and if you can

0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:06.240
<v Speaker 1>get all your family on one phone call, it certainly

0:12:06.240 --> 0:12:09.360
<v Speaker 1>makes that easier. However, here is what is being alleged.

0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:12.640
<v Speaker 1>Did he made a three person call on November third? Again?

0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:16.960
<v Speaker 1>He got to the prison October thirtieth. He told officials

0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:20.160
<v Speaker 1>it was a conversation with his legal team about issuing

0:12:20.160 --> 0:12:23.200
<v Speaker 1>a statement to The New York Times. All we know,

0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:25.440
<v Speaker 1>according to the documents that CBS got their hands on,

0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:30.920
<v Speaker 1>he talked to an unnamed woman. Halfway through, she asks

0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:33.280
<v Speaker 1>if she can add another person to the call. He

0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:38.440
<v Speaker 1>says yes, And we know that Comb's talked about arranging

0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:41.880
<v Speaker 1>visitors for the weekend and apparently suggested they bring cash.

0:12:41.920 --> 0:12:45.000
<v Speaker 1>He asked for two hundred singles. We don't know why

0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:46.800
<v Speaker 1>or how he was intending to use that money.

0:12:46.840 --> 0:12:47.160
<v Speaker 2>Anything.

0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:49.559
<v Speaker 1>Money is power, of course, and that's yes, he might

0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:51.280
<v Speaker 1>need to get some things out of the vending machine.

0:12:51.720 --> 0:12:54.400
<v Speaker 2>You suppose only have coins. That's why that was a problem.

0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:57.440
<v Speaker 1>Correct. That is a clear violation to ask them to

0:12:57.480 --> 0:13:00.000
<v Speaker 1>be in singles. He can only have coins.

0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:01.320
<v Speaker 2>Could have been code for something else.

0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:06.120
<v Speaker 1>Cigarettes, all right, So what apparently happened did? He says

0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:08.199
<v Speaker 1>he didn't know the rules. He said no one told

0:13:08.280 --> 0:13:10.840
<v Speaker 1>him he couldn't conference someone in, and he said he

0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:14.240
<v Speaker 1>didn't receive the prison orientation handbook that he was supposed

0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:19.640
<v Speaker 1>to receive. Okay, So his spokesperson gave this as the response.

0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:23.200
<v Speaker 1>It was a procedural call initiated by one of his

0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:27.240
<v Speaker 1>attorneys and was protected under attorney client privilege. There was

0:13:27.360 --> 0:13:30.560
<v Speaker 1>nothing improper, that's what they said.

0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:32.319
<v Speaker 2>But they didn't say anything about the other person being

0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:33.760
<v Speaker 2>conferenced din. They did address that.

0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:37.080
<v Speaker 1>Didn't say anything about that. So prison officials recommended that

0:13:37.160 --> 0:13:42.000
<v Speaker 1>Combs lose ninety days of phone privileges and ninety days

0:13:42.000 --> 0:13:45.720
<v Speaker 1>of commissary privileges because of this infraction.

0:13:45.960 --> 0:13:46.959
<v Speaker 2>That's a big deal in prison.

0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:50.320
<v Speaker 1>That is huge. So they filed that ruling on November fourth,

0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:53.520
<v Speaker 1>so this is all verifiable and funny enough, November fourth

0:13:53.640 --> 0:13:54.480
<v Speaker 1>was his birthday.

0:13:54.840 --> 0:13:57.439
<v Speaker 2>And we don't know though, if this has been implemented.

0:13:57.600 --> 0:14:02.079
<v Speaker 1>Unclear if what they recommended he'd be penalized with actually

0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:03.679
<v Speaker 1>was in force. So we don't know if he can

0:14:03.760 --> 0:14:05.480
<v Speaker 1>use the phone or not, but that certainly was what

0:14:05.720 --> 0:14:10.600
<v Speaker 1>they were recommending based on the violation that he committed

0:14:10.640 --> 0:14:13.480
<v Speaker 1>what three three days into this new home.

0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:15.600
<v Speaker 2>We'll know about it soon because if he's using the

0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:17.400
<v Speaker 2>phone still, we'll hear about the next violation.

0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:20.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure we will. All right, when we come back,

0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:24.240
<v Speaker 1>we're going to talk about the expedited appeals process that

0:14:24.520 --> 0:14:28.120
<v Speaker 1>Diddy was granted just last week. So what does that

0:14:28.200 --> 0:14:31.320
<v Speaker 1>look like, what are his other options of getting out early,

0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:34.520
<v Speaker 1>and is he still holding out for that presidential pardon?

0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:46.160
<v Speaker 2>All right, folks, we continue here now on Amy and

0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:49.760
<v Speaker 2>TJ with Ditty. Have you noticed a theme here? A

0:14:49.840 --> 0:14:52.040
<v Speaker 2>erbes and it's going to start happening. We're talking here

0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:54.680
<v Speaker 2>now the headlines of I what's going on with him

0:14:54.720 --> 0:14:58.800
<v Speaker 2>behind bars? The headlines before that were about his sentence.

0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:01.800
<v Speaker 2>We're starting and it will over the next couple of years,

0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:04.840
<v Speaker 2>don't you think start piecing together headlines about him that

0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:09.360
<v Speaker 2>are not that video, that are not baby oil, that

0:15:09.400 --> 0:15:12.160
<v Speaker 2>are not freak off. This is a part of him

0:15:12.160 --> 0:15:15.960
<v Speaker 2>and him having a team responding, I mean, shooting down

0:15:16.080 --> 0:15:19.240
<v Speaker 2>anything that's coming out negative from behind bars. So now

0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:22.880
<v Speaker 2>we're talking about he works with the chapel, he's running

0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:28.160
<v Speaker 2>Ditty's program, he's apologizing for a mistake in the phone. Right,

0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:30.760
<v Speaker 2>there's just slowly but surely, and this has to be

0:15:30.800 --> 0:15:33.880
<v Speaker 2>a part of him making a comeback of some kind.

0:15:34.080 --> 0:15:37.440
<v Speaker 1>Look, if you've got all eyes on you, everything you're

0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:41.640
<v Speaker 1>doing right, everything you're doing wrong behind bars, and somehow

0:15:41.680 --> 0:15:44.560
<v Speaker 1>you've always got somebody leaking something to the press. This

0:15:44.760 --> 0:15:48.840
<v Speaker 1>is a smart move. He knows he's being watched, and

0:15:48.960 --> 0:15:51.800
<v Speaker 1>he knows it's going to be reported. But to have

0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:54.760
<v Speaker 1>that PR team behind him is everything.

0:15:54.920 --> 0:15:57.080
<v Speaker 2>But all of these stories we've been reading, all these

0:15:57.120 --> 0:16:01.040
<v Speaker 2>headlines and all the updates, everything is not Cassi even

0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:04.240
<v Speaker 2>terrifying anymore. Right, it's going too slowly but sure and

0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:05.880
<v Speaker 2>it's going to take time for him. But this has

0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:08.080
<v Speaker 2>to be a part of their strategies to make sure

0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:11.840
<v Speaker 2>the headlines are about he's in rehab, he's being a

0:16:11.840 --> 0:16:12.960
<v Speaker 2>good citizen in there.

0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:17.080
<v Speaker 1>And refuting any negative rumors that are because those things

0:16:17.120 --> 0:16:20.560
<v Speaker 1>can take flight and you can never undo them. And

0:16:20.600 --> 0:16:23.040
<v Speaker 1>so they have been very quick and very swift to

0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:25.280
<v Speaker 1>manage that. So he's got his pr team working on

0:16:25.280 --> 0:16:28.120
<v Speaker 1>one hand, his legal team on the other, and they

0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:31.560
<v Speaker 1>got an expect an expedited appeals process already set in place.

0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:33.560
<v Speaker 1>That happened last week on November third.

0:16:33.600 --> 0:16:35.160
<v Speaker 2>They had another positive headline.

0:16:35.200 --> 0:16:38.640
<v Speaker 1>Yes, another positive headline. So his team has to get

0:16:38.720 --> 0:16:42.680
<v Speaker 1>their brief into the courts by December twenty third. The

0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:46.280
<v Speaker 1>government gets theirs by February twentieth. Comb's team gets to

0:16:46.320 --> 0:16:49.600
<v Speaker 1>reply to the government's brief in March, and then oral

0:16:49.760 --> 0:16:54.000
<v Speaker 1>arguments on an appeal are already set now for April

0:16:54.080 --> 0:16:57.880
<v Speaker 1>of twenty twenty six. That is a very speedy process.

0:16:58.520 --> 0:17:01.000
<v Speaker 2>So, talking about speed, we talked about him possibly getting

0:17:01.040 --> 0:17:03.240
<v Speaker 2>one year office sentence already. We still have to keep

0:17:03.280 --> 0:17:07.840
<v Speaker 2>in mind he's got options now for that May twenty

0:17:07.960 --> 0:17:08.680
<v Speaker 2>twenty eight date.

0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:11.840
<v Speaker 1>Is it, Yes, the release May eighth, twenty twenty eight

0:17:11.920 --> 0:17:13.080
<v Speaker 1>is his scheduled release date.

0:17:13.160 --> 0:17:14.680
<v Speaker 2>That thing is moving back, ain't it.

0:17:14.680 --> 0:17:18.240
<v Speaker 1>It could be May eighth, twenty twenty seven. Then you've

0:17:18.280 --> 0:17:20.600
<v Speaker 1>got good behavior that can chip away at that time

0:17:20.640 --> 0:17:24.560
<v Speaker 1>as well, and your appeals are still yeah, because the

0:17:24.640 --> 0:17:28.000
<v Speaker 1>legal team, just to remind everyone, is challenging the Man

0:17:28.040 --> 0:17:31.280
<v Speaker 1>Act and that is what prosecutors used to convict him,

0:17:31.280 --> 0:17:34.480
<v Speaker 1>and a lot of people were believe that was a

0:17:34.480 --> 0:17:36.760
<v Speaker 1>little bit of a shaky legal round there. This is

0:17:36.800 --> 0:17:42.359
<v Speaker 1>a controversial act that was intended to basically prohibit people

0:17:42.400 --> 0:17:48.600
<v Speaker 1>from transporting folks across state lines to engage in sexual

0:17:48.640 --> 0:17:51.679
<v Speaker 1>activity or prostitution. And it was originally called the White

0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:52.640
<v Speaker 1>Slave Traffic Act.

0:17:52.680 --> 0:17:56.800
<v Speaker 2>Slave Traffic Act, what was it? Which championship boxer's married

0:17:56.800 --> 0:17:58.520
<v Speaker 2>to a woman they got in trouble with this same

0:17:58.760 --> 0:18:01.320
<v Speaker 2>it started being used in racist ways.

0:18:01.119 --> 0:18:03.800
<v Speaker 1>Yes, to prohibit black men from having sex from white

0:18:03.800 --> 0:18:07.400
<v Speaker 1>women with white women, period. So they are challenging the

0:18:07.520 --> 0:18:11.239
<v Speaker 1>usage of the Man Act to Diddy, and you know,

0:18:11.520 --> 0:18:15.040
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people believe they have a decent argument there.

0:18:15.640 --> 0:18:19.159
<v Speaker 1>Of course, that presidential pardon is still on the table.

0:18:19.240 --> 0:18:23.520
<v Speaker 1>Trump has not ruled it out, not at all, and

0:18:23.520 --> 0:18:26.600
<v Speaker 1>the Diddy team has acknowledged that they have officially asked

0:18:27.160 --> 0:18:29.320
<v Speaker 1>the president to consider pardoning did he but.

0:18:29.400 --> 0:18:31.800
<v Speaker 2>He handed out those pardons this week about the all

0:18:31.880 --> 0:18:36.199
<v Speaker 2>the the Georgia election hoax, all that stuff. I was

0:18:36.240 --> 0:18:38.320
<v Speaker 2>digging through there when I saw the headlines.

0:18:38.960 --> 0:18:42.479
<v Speaker 1>Darryl Strawberry in there, I thought, well, he sneaked him

0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:45.320
<v Speaker 1>in one of them. That was another. He's had a lot,

0:18:45.359 --> 0:18:51.720
<v Speaker 1>He's had several waves of pardoning folks. Yes, so that

0:18:51.960 --> 0:18:54.280
<v Speaker 1>is And look, TMZ had said, I believe it was

0:18:54.320 --> 0:18:56.920
<v Speaker 1>two weeks ago that it was imminent that President Trump

0:18:56.960 --> 0:18:59.960
<v Speaker 1>was absolutely going to pardon him. And they actually put

0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:03.080
<v Speaker 1>something out saying we still stand by our reporting. They

0:19:03.119 --> 0:19:06.919
<v Speaker 1>are putting us like a stake down saying he is

0:19:07.280 --> 0:19:09.080
<v Speaker 1>President Trump is going to pardon Didny.

0:19:09.240 --> 0:19:09.440
<v Speaker 2>Wow.

0:19:10.119 --> 0:19:13.840
<v Speaker 1>We shall see. But yes, the eyes of the world

0:19:13.880 --> 0:19:17.080
<v Speaker 1>continued to be on that Fort Dick's prison in New Jersey,

0:19:17.080 --> 0:19:19.720
<v Speaker 1>and certainly we will be following the story as any

0:19:19.760 --> 0:19:23.159
<v Speaker 1>new developments developed. But thank you for listening to us

0:19:23.200 --> 0:19:26.240
<v Speaker 1>as always on Ami Robot alongside TJ. Holmes. We will

0:19:26.280 --> 0:19:26.920
