1
00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:05,000
Speaker 1: Amy and TJ presents Aubrey Oday covering the did He trial.

2
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:11,039
Speaker 2: Let's talk. So you were at court today, you actually

3
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 2: I was watching you on the television. I was so

4
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,480
Speaker 2: proud of you. You look so beautiful this morning, and I

5
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 2: was in the most chipper of moods because where we've

6
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:23,439
Speaker 2: left it off this morning with every journalist and news

7
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 2: site reporting on the case, was the prosecution should feel

8
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 2: pretty good right now, the defense should feel nervous. That's

9
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 2: that was the overall understanding of the moment. They were

10
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,639
Speaker 2: they we were in given that it seems like they

11
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 2: had made rulings, and if they were conflicted about Rico,

12
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 2: the rulings of anything underneath, it means that there are

13
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 2: people thought Rico was there, then they had to have

14
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:48,840
Speaker 2: thought the other things were there we thought, or most

15
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 2: of the media world sought, and then as it all

16
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 2: came in, it just got slipped on its ass so fast.

17
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 2: I was watching.

18
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 1: I was watching, Uh, I don't.

19
00:00:58,120 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 2: Know who your in air person is. I was looking

20
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 2: at well Flitter and he was so quiet. I've never

21
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 2: seen Wolfe so quiet, and I've seen him call elections

22
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 2: that I don't know what his political beliefs are. But

23
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 2: I didn't. I don't know that he loved the call

24
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 2: he had to make, but he stood in that moment

25
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 2: and made it. When Wolf was silent, I was My

26
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 2: guts were on the floor.

27
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: Yes, I mean, look, I have to say I was stunned.

28
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: I was not shocked. And here's the reason why. And

29
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: we spoke about this about weeks ago on this podcast.

30
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 1: Aubrey is, there were a lot of moments in this

31
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: trial that made you realize that Gift is not a

32
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: lock at all. We have been saying that. I know

33
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 1: you've been saying that since day one. I've been reporting

34
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: that since day one. There was a lot of gray area.

35
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: There was testimony that came in that either fell flat

36
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: or actually hurt the prosecution. So look, did many people

37
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: anticipate a different verdicts. Yes, But there were moments in

38
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: the trial where as I was discussing with my team

39
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: and with our legal analyst, I remember saying, you know,

40
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: I don't see a path to a full acquittal, just

41
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: based on the evidence and based on sitting there in court.

42
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: And the reason why was because of those two transportations

43
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 1: to engage in prostitution charges. I believed that when they

44
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 1: showed documentation, concrete, tangible evidence that there was really no

45
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: way out of those two charges.

46
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 2: Elizabeth, I didn't see a way out of Cassie's sex trafficking.

47
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 2: I feel like it was all the way there, and

48
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 2: her situation was so different than the other victim, Jane Doe,

49
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 2: you and I discussed you looked at two different people.

50
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 2: They were drastically different. The Cassie one because I was

51
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 2: there when she came in the very first day she

52
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 2: came in to ask plef to be on the label,

53
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 2: to knowing her in her prior relationship with Ryan, to

54
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 2: you having been witnessing everything in court, her sex trafficking

55
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 2: charge was there.

56
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: Yes, And you know what, I I believe that if

57
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 1: this case were just centered around Cassie, and you remember

58
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: the first indictment was just Cassie, she was victim one,

59
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: and in that indictment victim one with Cassie, I believe

60
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: that had she been the only horror witness and Mia,

61
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: I think give me a testified that I think had

62
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,079
Speaker 1: this been centered just around Cassie, I think that there

63
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: could have been a different outcome here. You know, we

64
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 1: spoke about this and you just mentioned it that Jane

65
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: and Cassie are very different women, both with horristic alleges,

66
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: so different that the cultural weight of this decision is immeasurable.

67
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 2: Right now, it is literally heartbreaking to witness to witness

68
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 2: to know how many civil suits eighty five I think

69
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 2: now eighty plus lawsuits right now. I think at least

70
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 2: three or four just filed in the last week. There

71
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 2: are all of that. Aside from what's going on in court.

72
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 2: There are so many people that have had their lives

73
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 2: impacted by day experiences with Sean Combs, only for all

74
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 2: of those stories to fall short in the eyes of

75
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 2: the jury. I mean, I can only hope that these

76
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 2: jurors never have to watch somebody they love endure everything

77
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 2: that we have heard everyone describe. I feel like Cassie

78
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 2: is somewhere feeling taking the weight of this in. I mean,

79
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 2: we've been dissecting all of these people's credibility versus understanding

80
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 2: their courage. It's in us to dissect versus to see

81
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 2: and believe what's in front of us. And let's be clear,

82
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 2: like the courtroom operates by the law, it does not

83
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 2: mean it delivers justice. Every time we have a lot

84
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 2: of courts deciding a lot of things right now that

85
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 2: are going to be put a lot of people in

86
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:54,239
Speaker 2: danger that are not best for us overall. It's the law,

87
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 2: it does not mean it is justice, and it's not

88
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,359
Speaker 2: the best place to develop a moral compass the world

89
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 2: needs right now urgently. So to me, what I worry is,

90
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 2: we just told the world that everything we even listened

91
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 2: to Cassie it had experience. I mean, she couldn't leave

92
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 2: her home without checking in. There were mandatory check ins, routines,

93
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 2: stop buies, even when she got a little bit of

94
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 2: her life back. At any point, did he could come

95
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,919
Speaker 2: in and turn her life upside down, the control that

96
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 2: he had over her life for so long, knowing who

97
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 2: she was when she came in there, knowing what she

98
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 2: became all these years later. Like to me, I would

99
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 2: never in my life want the law to consider that

100
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 2: of no guilt. What kind of presidents are we starting

101
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 2: for this industry and for rich, powerful, wealthy men and

102
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 2: beyond that, Elizabeth, I have seen reporting that when the

103
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 2: kids came out and got in the van, that they

104
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 2: opened the van door, which, by the way, I don't

105
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 2: know if you know this, but Kanye released an album

106
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 2: which did he on it and with his son's team YEP.

107
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 2: They released a full album this past week. He played

108
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 2: his hit song opened Up the Van Door, ended a

109
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 2: full blown performance, took his shirt off while his girlfriend

110
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 2: was twerking in the back. Did you get to see

111
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 2: any of that?

112
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: I saw the commotion around it from where I was standing, because,

113
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: as you know, I was literally live on our air

114
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: most of the day, so I couldn't be right near there.

115
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: But I did see video footage of it. What case

116
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: have you been in?

117
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,559
Speaker 2: Where people stand up and start clapping to your dream team,

118
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 2: dream team, to a defense that did have put on

119
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,919
Speaker 2: no defense, and to a closing statement that basically flat

120
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 2: shamed and told the entire world this was a great man.

121
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 2: He provided an incredible working environment. All these girls were

122
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,799
Speaker 2: housed and they were lined up to do the freak

123
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 2: offs and this is what women will do. And he

124
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 2: gave everybody the lab of luxury and every now and

125
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 2: then he got me in on drugs Like that is

126
00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 2: what the jury believed enough to give a non guilty

127
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 2: verdict on more of the important charges. So what are

128
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 2: they telling us? What do artists have to do now?

129
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:09,280
Speaker 2: What do women have to do now?

130
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: Well, like you said, Aubrey in a court of law.

131
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: They are following the law. The scope is very limited.

132
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 2: I saw sex trafficking in the law. I have read

133
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 2: every transcript, as I say, of this, most people have not.

134
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 2: You've been in court. I have read every transcript because

135
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 2: I am reporting on this. I am not just watching

136
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 2: the news Occasionally. I saw a walking path to sex

137
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 2: trafficking with Cassie. That was very believable. She did not

138
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 2: soil herself. She did not come off as a liar

139
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 2: or like I had any doubt in her story unless

140
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 2: Jane Doe just trickled over onto her walking path. Her

141
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 2: experience deserved inaccurate calling of the law.

142
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: Look, as you were saying that justice is not always

143
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: served here. It is a high burden to meet these charges.

144
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: And a defense attorney's job is not to prove the truth.

145
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: The defense attorney's job is to defend their client, who

146
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: oftentimes in this case certainly is paying them a lot

147
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: of money.

148
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 2: I know, and they were paid a lot of money

149
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 2: to give a narrative that's dishonest and frankly dangerous to

150
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 2: many people. The Bonnie and Clyde, they were equals. They

151
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 2: were in a messy love relationship. What is every woman

152
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 2: out there in a quote messy love relationship thinking about

153
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 2: in regards to her options to ever feel safe again

154
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 2: in life tonight?

155
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: Now, I want to tell you because you reference a

156
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 1: few moments here from Ditty's defense of closing argument where

157
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: they spoke about Cassie and that Bonnie and Clyde narratives. So, Aubrey, today,

158
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: I sat down with Cassie's attorney. I'm the only journalist

159
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 1: who has sat down with him for his first interview you,

160
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: and I asked, how is Cassie doing because she is

161
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: not expected to speak out. She is at home with

162
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: her family, She's a new mom, she has three kids.

163
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 1: Her attorney, Doug Wigdoor, told me that she wants to

164
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: move on. But he told me he don't worry about Cassie.

165
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: He said she's actually really doing okay. He said that

166
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: when he spoke to her right after the verdict, that

167
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 1: she was comforted and filled with gratitude, nrowing that if

168
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: she had not come forward, that Sean Holmes would have

169
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: never stepped foot into a courtroom and would have never

170
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 1: been convicted. Because look, it is devastating to people like

171
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: you that he was acquitted on the more serious charges,

172
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: that this is a man who is whole life, well

173
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 1: not his whole life, but you know he's self made.

174
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 1: But the past three decades has been about wealth, power, access,

175
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,199
Speaker 1: calling the shocks, control, coagent interviews.

176
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 2: I'll throw those three in myself.

177
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 1: And now he is a convicted feld. Yes, he's not

178
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: facing life in prison. No, he's not going to serve

179
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 1: a long, long, long sentence.

180
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 2: Well, let me tell you something.

181
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 3: I think the judge I was shot.

182
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 2: I usually a judge would let this person without getting

183
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 2: the guilty count on the more serious charges if they're

184
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 2: not a flight risk, and go home. And he didn't.

185
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:28,679
Speaker 2: He did not let him go home.

186
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: That's very telling.

187
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 2: And Diddy's known to have his big Fourth of July party.

188
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 2: This one would have been one for the books because

189
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 2: I highly doubt that he's reformed any parts of his

190
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 2: bad behavior in the short time that he's had to

191
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 2: think about his behavior, because he certainly didn't take any

192
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 2: accountability or acknowledgement. And he's got his whole family drink

193
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,439
Speaker 2: in that juice. They did a full blown concert outside

194
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 2: of the fucking federal court building.

195
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 1: And look, look, I mean, I think what you're getting

196
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: at here is the fact that this judge denied in

197
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,319
Speaker 1: bail room. Remember this is the same judge who determines

198
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: his sentencing. So is that an indicator that when he

199
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 1: goes in for sentencing, that judge may not be fight

200
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: on the sentencing. Now, of course, the judge has to

201
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 1: follow the law. He has to look at precedent. Did

202
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: he is a first time offender in the legal sense

203
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 1: that he has never been convicted before, but he is

204
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: facing ten years on each of these charges. That is

205
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: twenty years if served consecutive.

206
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 2: And by the way, let's let's also note that the

207
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 2: prosecution originally asked gave him a plea at the beginning

208
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 2: of his trial for fifteen judge, the judge could come

209
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,559
Speaker 2: back all the way to twenty. Maybe if he doesn't

210
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:45,319
Speaker 2: go to twenty, he could even go to eighteen. Eighteen

211
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 2: years is a significant period of time to serve. And

212
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 2: unless this is this his plan from the gods above

213
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 2: and Trump pardons him. If we're not going in that direction,

214
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 2: which is a whole we're going to start having a

215
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 2: whole kind of different other conversation if we go on

216
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,359
Speaker 2: that dress. Let's not go into the land of impossibility

217
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 2: right now and stay in reality, The reality is he

218
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 2: did not let him go today. He thinks that he

219
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 2: is still a threat. The point that they were making

220
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 2: to take him out of jail were the very points

221
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 2: that were keeping him in there and making sure he

222
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 2: didn't get bonded out in the first round. They kept

223
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 2: him in that chill. They are keeping him in that jail,

224
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 2: which means they think he's a flight risk, because he'd

225
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 2: be sitting at home if they didn't feel he was.

226
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 2: He's proven that he's won.

227
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 3: Because judge the judge is very fair.

228
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 2: He's been very fair to both sides. And he made the.

229
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 1: Call on that well he did.

230
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 2: And also he is going to be making the call

231
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 2: on the sentencing time. And I don't think he's impressed

232
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 2: with the rap concert that went on downstairs or any

233
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 2: of the standing and applauding and Dream Team Dream Team today.

234
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 2: I don't think he's impressed with that.

235
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: Well, look, it's not just that this judge thought that

236
00:12:56,240 --> 00:13:00,079
Speaker 1: he is a flight list. This judge said that he

237
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: is violent.

238
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:05,239
Speaker 2: Do you know how many victims called me today, Elizabeth

239
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 2: and said I'm scared. I'm trying to get somewhere right now.

240
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 2: And I was like, are we all doing. I wasn't

241
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 2: feeling scared to go home, but they were like, I

242
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 2: got a call from somebody high up in the industry

243
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 2: and he was like, I wouldn't post in real time

244
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:24,959
Speaker 2: where you are for a while. Don't post your home,

245
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 2: don't post where you're actually at. Post it like two

246
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 2: or three days later. That's the type of conversations that

247
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 2: people are having right now. There are eighty plus simple suits.

248
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 2: What kind of conversations do you think they're having. What

249
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:39,959
Speaker 2: kind of odds do you think they have right now

250
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 2: of what this man could potentially turn into is so dangerous?

251
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: Well, look what you are saying about your concerns, you know,

252
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: Cassy's attorney. After Combs's defense asked for him to be

253
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 1: released on bail, Kathy's attorney filed a letter to the

254
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: judge staying, Cassie is concerned that her life is in danger,

255
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: that the Cenisses who testified in this trial that their

256
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,439
Speaker 1: lives are in danger, and that he is a danger

257
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: to the community. That was part of what the judge

258
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 1: considered as he made his decision to deny him bail.

259
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: Now Seawan Combs his face when he was denied bail.

260
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 2: He was stunned.

261
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: His mouth was open, his eyes were widened.

262
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 2: He could not believe it.

263
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: He thought that he was going home and like you said,

264
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 1: that he was going to celebrate July Force with his family.

265
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 2: And that's the case. What's interesting is how scared he

266
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 2: was and how defeated he was being reported of yesterday

267
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 2: and especially this morning today. Everybody talked of his face

268
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 2: almost having tears, in him being overwhelmed. It's almost as

269
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 2: if he kind of already thought he knew how things

270
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 2: were going to go, and he was seeing that it

271
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 2: could maybe not go that way, and he was trying

272
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 2: to trust in whatever he believes in was gonna happen,

273
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 2: because he had all the confidence in the world on

274
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 2: that final closing day. Then he got really scared. For

275
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks, everyone was reporting it, all of

276
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 2: this happy, you're a great judge, Thanks a lot, I'm

277
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 2: gonna get a corona. Did you need anything else?

278
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: And I have to tell you, I don't think the

279
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: judge was impressed by that, But I'm saying no.

280
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 2: But I'm saying all of this back and forth behavior

281
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 2: from him, it makes me feel like he had a

282
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 2: strong idea. It could just be his attorneys leading him.

283
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 2: I don't know exactly until I see. I want to

284
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 2: see what the judge does with the sentencing. I think

285
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 2: he should be hitting the higher edges of twenty. I'm

286
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 2: seeing about eighteen. If I see about eighteen, I feel

287
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 2: like I'll feel like this wasn't something bigger.

288
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 1: Look, I don't want to get your hope stuff. I

289
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 1: don't want to get.

290
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 2: Your viewers hope stuff.

291
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: But every one of our legal experts on our air,

292
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: you know, I have been outside the courthouse every single

293
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: day and inside the court room with Laura Coates, who's

294
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: one of my dear friends and one of our anchors.

295
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 1: She's a former propecutor. She said that we are looking

296
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: at a minimal amount of us.

297
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 2: Minimal like why is a minimal amount on five.

298
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: Like three to five? Because he has not been convicted before,

299
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: so in the eyes of the judge and the eyes

300
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: of the court, he is seen as a first time offender. Now,

301
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: look the prosecution they.

302
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 2: Said Matathine is a first time a sender, they would

303
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 2: let him go.

304
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: Liz Well, and look, I think you bring up an

305
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: excellent point. Because the judge and denying him bail. That

306
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: was a shock. Now by the way I had predicted

307
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: that outside of the courthouse. I said, this is the

308
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: same judge who denied him bail before his trial. And

309
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 1: the judge had said the reason why he denied him

310
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 1: bail is because he was a flight risk, because he

311
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: was a danger to society, and because he was hampering

312
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: with witnesses. Remember the prosecution accused Sean Combe ahead of

313
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 1: his trial of paying other inmates in the NDC to

314
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 1: use their phones.

315
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 2: He was accused of a lot of crazy shit in

316
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 2: those bond hearings. What's crazy is that was only two

317
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 2: months ago. You think that you think that thought pattern

318
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 2: has changed in two months, Elizabeth.

319
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: And that is why the judge knows that this is

320
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: a and the judge actually, you know, the judge said

321
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: that I'm just remembering that in denying him bail. He said,

322
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: I already denied him bail when it wasn't mandatory. Why

323
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: would my thoughts change now? So this judge is not

324
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: impressed with some of the behavior that Shawn Colmbs has displayed.

325
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,439
Speaker 1: Like you said, if he was Shawn Colms will be

326
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: home with his family right now. He's awaiting his sentence.

327
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 2: So you said his face was shocked when they said no.

328
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 1: His face was shocked.

329
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 2: How long did it stay shocked?

330
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:36,400
Speaker 1: You know, momentarily, but he was absolutely stocked. And then

331
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,360
Speaker 1: after when he was being ushered out by the marshals,

332
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 1: he was talking to his family and he said, it's

333
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 1: all right, we'll get through this. He said to his

334
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 1: mom that he loves her so but he was absolutely stunned.

335
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 2: Was that before or after the rap concert outside the

336
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 2: federal courtroom?

337
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: That was after, because that rap concert, as you call it,

338
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: and I didn't see it with my own eyes, but

339
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 1: I saw video of it. And that was after the verdict,

340
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 1: but before the bail hearing. So this was before he

341
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: was denied bail. When his son was gloating, not quoting,

342
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 1: he performed the song, he took his shirt off.

343
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 2: I've seen the footage. He took his shirt off. He

344
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 2: did all of the lyrics to Free Diddy. You never

345
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,119
Speaker 2: were going to get him. Were rich, We have money,

346
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,439
Speaker 2: you don't. We know how to work this system. These

347
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 2: are the lyrics of the albums and the song. And

348
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 2: then his girlfriend jumped out to the van and started working,

349
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 2: turned around, started dropping that ass outside of a federal building.

350
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 1: Yes, and look, let me just say one thing. I

351
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 1: know this is a bit of a tangent, but let's

352
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: be honest. If the one celebrity who shows up during

353
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: trial to support you with Kanye West, and if during

354
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 1: a trial when your father is facing life in prison,

355
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:52,400
Speaker 1: you're releasing a song with Kanye West, a blatant hitler

356
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,680
Speaker 1: loving anti semi got to tell you that's not who

357
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 1: I would want supporting me. So let's just put that

358
00:18:58,359 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 1: out there.

359
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,640
Speaker 2: Let's just put it out there that they've already done

360
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 2: a little music collapse from prison, and Kanye's also gotten

361
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 2: in front of discussing touching his cousin and doing things

362
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:23,439
Speaker 2: with men, and we're starting to get into dangerous territory

363
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 2: where we are not talking about the actual conditions, we

364
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 2: are not even sentencing the actual conditions correctly because nobody

365
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 2: is being accountable for their actual behavior and intentions. And yes,

366
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 2: everybody wants to win the circus that we just participated

367
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 2: in for two months, but I'm not seeing a ton

368
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 2: of accountability anywhere. Possibly in what you said in regards

369
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 2: to Cassie feeling like she paved a way for a

370
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:57,199
Speaker 2: little bit of justice to occur, But God, if we

371
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 2: were going to open this box and we were going

372
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 2: to open it wide enough for eighty plus civil lawsuits

373
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,439
Speaker 2: that aren't going anywhere anytime soon. I have spoken with

374
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 2: multiple lawyers that are representative of multiple cases right now,

375
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 2: and none of them have plans on dropping their cases

376
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 2: because they are scared, intimidated, or threatened right now because

377
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 2: they didn't decide to let him out now had he

378
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 2: been home in the next hour. I don't know what

379
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 2: people would be saying tonight, but as of right now,

380
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 2: nobody's dropping their civil suits. This is ongoing, and let's

381
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 2: not forget R Kelly walked around the R Kelly got

382
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 2: away the first time, and he walked around and he

383
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 2: did his victory lap. OJ Simpson also did a victory lap.

384
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,159
Speaker 2: They were major upsets historically that in the moment they

385
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:49,120
Speaker 2: were all kinds of cheers. OJ had a much bigger

386
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 2: reception than Diddy and his son's rap concert with the

387
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 2: girlfriend working. But either way, if you look at history,

388
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 2: we've seen walks and victory. We've seen victory. He walks

389
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:03,880
Speaker 2: where karma ends up still catching up to you at

390
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 2: the end of it.

391
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 1: And look, I'm glad that you brought up the civil

392
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 1: suits because this legal battle is not over for Shaan

393
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: kOhm nowhere.

394
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 2: Near and by the way, the standard that these people

395
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 2: have to meet in civil core is much different, and

396
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 2: it's going to drain the account.

397
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 1: And look, here's what's interesting is when I interviewed Cassie's

398
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 1: attorney today, I asked him because he represents aside from Cassie,

399
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 1: who of course is already settled, he does represent one

400
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 1: other civil accuser, so of course he can't speak to

401
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:37,160
Speaker 1: these roughly seventy, however, many dozens?

402
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,919
Speaker 2: Dozens? Does? I heard you say seventy on the air

403
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 2: a few times. It's over eighty, Elizabeth.

404
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 1: Okay, So look, it's a huge number. It's an enormous number,

405
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:49,639
Speaker 1: all with patterns saying that her not all, but the

406
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 1: majority of saying that I was drugged, I could drink.

407
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 1: I don't remember anything, the same patterns.

408
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 2: Okay.

409
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:58,880
Speaker 1: So I asked Doug Wigdor, Cassie's attorney, I said, what

410
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 1: do you think is going to happen now that he

411
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 1: won't be serving a life sentence? Are these civil accusers

412
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,160
Speaker 1: going to be scared? Or will they be pursuing his suit?

413
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 1: And he brought up something so interesting, He said, look,

414
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: strictly on the plaintiff side, if you're looking at this,

415
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 1: there's actually a silver lining because had he been convicted

416
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 1: on racketeering, the government could have seized his assets, meaning

417
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 1: he has no money. Cassie's attorney said, look at what's

418
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 1: happened with the Harvey Weinstein victims. He had to bankrupt

419
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 1: his companies. They have not seen a penny. So of

420
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:34,920
Speaker 1: course money does not solve everything. I mean, look at Cassie.

421
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: Her attorney told me today that she would rather have

422
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 1: none of this have happened to her ever, than to

423
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: have that thirty million dollars. I believe that's true, but

424
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 1: it was an interesting point that he said that for

425
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 1: these civil accusers, now there is something to go after

426
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 1: because his assets are not going to be seated. So

427
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:53,439
Speaker 1: over Shamkom.

428
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 2: He has a legal mountain.

429
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:57,400
Speaker 1: Of dozens and dozens and dozens of.

430
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 2: Civil suits ahead of him. But you know how quickly

431
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:04,120
Speaker 2: people can move money around and make it disappear, Elizabeth.

432
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 1: Look for Shawn Colmbs. His primary concern here was this

433
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 1: criminal case. He did not want to spend the rest

434
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,400
Speaker 1: of his life behind bars, but he still has these

435
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 1: civil suits to contend with. And as you said, as

436
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:18,400
Speaker 1: you're hearing, people are not pulling these suits. And remember,

437
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,479
Speaker 1: if he serves prison time, this is still Shawn Colmbs

438
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:26,880
Speaker 1: one of the most powerful men behind bars in prison.

439
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:31,199
Speaker 1: This would not have happened had Cassie not filed her

440
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 1: lawsuit and had other people come forth with accusations against him.

441
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:43,120
Speaker 1: So this is really a stunning turn of events if

442
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 1: you look at where Shawn Colmbs was three years ago.

443
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 1: So that I think is an important point to make

444
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:53,120
Speaker 1: that even though he has been absolved of these more

445
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 1: serious charges, he has not been absolved of the horristic,

446
00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 1: egregious sleeping allegations against him from men and women in

447
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:02,880
Speaker 1: mine as a cross jackets. He denies all of them,

448
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 1: but those allegations and still stamp.

449
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 2: It's still too damning. And by the way, everybody that

450
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:12,360
Speaker 2: calls me today just looked. They just said, we're never

451
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 2: going to see justice. They were never going to be

452
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 2: able to There's so many people that have been so

453
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 2: disenfranchised in the music industry that they never expected to

454
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 2: even see anything good from this, Like they were almost

455
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:29,119
Speaker 2: waiting for another gut punch, the same feeling that we

456
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 2: saw on the Inner Continental video. Gut punches they come

457
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 2: in mental forms and physical forms. When it comes to ditty,

458
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 2: that's a fact. It's on camera, it's a fact. With

459
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 2: that being said, the mental punches. I watched Cassie's Intercontinental

460
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 2: video like seventeen times today, Elizabeth, seventeen fucking times.

461
00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 3: There are so many fucking people that feel so unseen.

462
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 3: It's horrible. It's horrible. It's horrible to talk to them.

463
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 2: It's horrible to see the news moving on. Like I

464
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,679
Speaker 2: said to our last conversation, what do you do? Just

465
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 2: move on?

466
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 3: That's what you did today.

467
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:17,920
Speaker 2: I watched you having to walk through it, and you

468
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 2: got your your points made about, you know, with Cassie's lawyer,

469
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:26,679
Speaker 2: and you did a good job at at like bringing

470
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 2: up the upsides of this. But like, this is shocking,

471
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:34,879
Speaker 2: and this is a gut punch for so many people.

472
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 2: People that don't have lawsuits, people that aren't trying to

473
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 2: make money to be seen, victims that did not want

474
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 2: to be seen or profit off of this, but just

475
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 2: regret ever being in his path and being involved in

476
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 2: whatever they they whatever hurt harmed them, and they're just

477
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 2: like I told you, this is how it works. And

478
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 2: I've been sitting here for two months telling all of

479
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 2: them this isn't how it works that we got here,

480
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 2: the case is here. I'm looking over the notes. I'm

481
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:10,400
Speaker 2: talking to everybody of every color, of every gender. I'm

482
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 2: talking to every age group, like everybody is feeling consistently

483
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 2: the same sentencing across the board as to how that

484
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,880
Speaker 2: courtroom made them feel. And the jurors were in that

485
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:25,400
Speaker 2: courtroom there were more charges there.

486
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 1: No listen, I believe that I actually referenced this interview

487
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 1: the last time that we spoke Aubrey. But you know,

488
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 1: during this trial, I interviewed Toronto Burke, who is the

489
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 1: head of the N two movement. Yes, and I asked her,

490
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:42,160
Speaker 1: I said, if Sean Combs is acquitted, what does that

491
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 1: mean for all of this? And Toronto Burke was saying

492
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 1: to me, because her life's work is to support survivors

493
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: of sexual violence who are having a very difficult time

494
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 1: with this verdict today.

495
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,439
Speaker 2: Well, you guys pulled someone on CNN. It wasn't you

496
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 2: out there, but a woman was pulled out. I don't

497
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 2: know if it's who you're talking about, or it's another

498
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 2: very epic journalist in the hip hop world, but she

499
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 2: just said her heart was with Cassie and she you

500
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 2: know she had interviewed Puff when he was like nine,

501
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:13,640
Speaker 2: when he was a young kid. She's like a she's

502
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,439
Speaker 2: somebody prolific in the hip hop world. And she literally

503
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 2: just yanked her on the screen like live, like we're

504
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 2: gonna just run to this. And the woman literally said,

505
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,199
Speaker 2: I'm wondering when these men are going to finally just

506
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,920
Speaker 2: stop making excuses, acknowledge their behavior, and change it. It's

507
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 2: really not simple. It's been happening in the industry for

508
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 2: far too long. The levels of this are being felt

509
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 2: so deeply among so many people that you don't know

510
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 2: their names and you never will, and it's all coming

511
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 2: down to the an accountability card and just finally, stop

512
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 2: stop making excuses for this behavior and just tell the

513
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 2: world what you did, and let's get it. Let's stop it.

514
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 1: So on that note, I want to review what Toronto

515
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,679
Speaker 1: told me when I asked her about what happens if

516
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:00,439
Speaker 1: he's acquitted, And of course I have not talked her

517
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,199
Speaker 1: yet since this verdict, but here's what she said. She

518
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 1: said that if he walks away from this case by

519
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 1: some miracle, we need to be talking about what we

520
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,640
Speaker 1: all witnessed together. You can't unring this bell. We all

521
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 1: listened to Cassie. We all saw that video. We've heard

522
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 1: this testimony that's not going anywhere. We sometimes have short memories,

523
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,879
Speaker 1: though in one apology video, one great produced song, he

524
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,399
Speaker 1: could start building himself back. We need to have a

525
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 1: longer memory. So, regardless of the outcomes of these trials,

526
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 1: I hope that we have institutional memory of what we saw.

527
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 1: She went on to tell me, don't gaslight yourself and

528
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:37,880
Speaker 1: don't doubt yourself. Don't doubt your own eyes and ears.

529
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 1: We saw that man beat that woman in that hotel.

530
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 1: Whatever the reasons behind it, we saw what we saw.

531
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 1: And she said that she tells survivors of sexual violence

532
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 1: all the time, do not put your weight into the

533
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 1: criminal justice system, because the criminal justice system, she said,

534
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 1: has been failing survivors of sexual abuse since the beginning

535
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 1: of time. She said that to you yet Sean Holmes

536
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 1: into a courtroom in itself is momentous, and that is

537
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 1: how she is seeing progress, even if it's a slow, slow,

538
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 1: slow drip.

539
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's just a really slow drip, Elizabeth. But I

540
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 2: agree with the beginning of what she said in regards

541
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 2: to we need to start having the conversations and we

542
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 2: need to start holding the behavior accountable. And honestly, I'm

543
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 2: speaking really predominantly to men out there. You came from

544
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 2: a woman. You've got to assess your behavior toward women.

545
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 2: We are literally asking for our own body autonomy back

546
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 2: and you got us on our knees. Let us up

547
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 2: and breathe a little bit. Please start being accountable for

548
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 2: your behavior, start assessing it and changing it. If it's

549
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 2: if you know in your gut that you resonated with

550
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 2: the parts of this trial that we're disturbing. We have

551
00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 2: to work together to get a better society of this,

552
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 2: taking this beyond the jury. Twelve. People are not going

553
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 2: to decide that a woman, a man, or an artist

554
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 2: is the property of the most wealthy and powerful people

555
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 2: if they want them. They're not going to decide that

556
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 2: for us. That's not in their hands and their call

557
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 2: is not going to make that decision for us. But

558
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 2: we have to start protecting each other more, and we

559
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 2: have to start doing what she said, having conversations that

560
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 2: are hard to have, and holding ourselves accountable for our behavior.

561
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 2: All Raby, Thanks Elizabeth
