WEBVTT - BREAKING: Judge Leaning Towards Longer Sentence for Diddy 0:00:02.240 --> 0:00:05.720 Hey, folks, it is Friday, October, third sentencing day for Diddy. 0:00:05.960 --> 0:00:07.800 They're on a lunch break as we speak, but we 0:00:07.840 --> 0:00:11.080 wanted to hop on because it has been a morning 0:00:11.360 --> 0:00:14.480 of developments and some of them jaw dropping. Welcome to 0:00:14.520 --> 0:00:16.799 this episode of Amy and TJ Romes. We didn't know 0:00:16.800 --> 0:00:18.400 how long this thing was going to go. They're taking 0:00:18.440 --> 0:00:21.239 a lunch break, coming back at Too Eastern, still expecting 0:00:21.280 --> 0:00:24.720 to hear from Diddy. But this morning, things right off 0:00:24.760 --> 0:00:28.800 the bat were not going his way. Right off the jump, 0:00:28.920 --> 0:00:31.680 just hearing from the judge, you could tell he lost 0:00:31.720 --> 0:00:34.920 a couple of or Diddy at least lost a couple 0:00:34.920 --> 0:00:38.560 of arguments, if you will, with his attorneys and things 0:00:38.560 --> 0:00:41.680 they were trying to get into the sentencing memo, and 0:00:42.320 --> 0:00:44.559 we all kind of and a lot of reporters in 0:00:44.560 --> 0:00:47.400 the room that we are grateful for. There was a 0:00:47.440 --> 0:00:49.600 tone to where things weren't going his way well, and. 0:00:49.520 --> 0:00:52.159 It's the tone that we've heard from this judge. It 0:00:52.280 --> 0:00:56.560 feels like since the onset, and certainly as we've seen 0:00:56.600 --> 0:01:00.440 Diddy over the last several months try to eat, get 0:01:00.440 --> 0:01:03.520 out on bail, awaiting sentencing, trying to get charges or 0:01:03.560 --> 0:01:06.800 convictions thrown out, and the judge has not sided with 0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:09.959 him one single time from what I can recall. So 0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:12.680 he's consistent and he's staying on brand today. 0:01:12.800 --> 0:01:15.280 That's a very good point. The judge didn't surprise us 0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:18.120 at all with what he did. Off the top, we'll 0:01:18.120 --> 0:01:20.280 explain that this start at ten o'clock this morning. All 0:01:20.319 --> 0:01:22.200 of Didy's kids are there, his mom is there. He's 0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:25.800 described today as somber by some people in the courtroom 0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:28.560 from the courtroom observers. But today he dressed very casually. 0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:31.639 He's not in his prison uniform he's allowed to wear today, 0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:33.320 at least he was allowed to wear street clothes and 0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:36.360 V neck, tan sweater or something like that today. Now, 0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:40.839 headline one robes Mia, who testified under that pseudonym Mia 0:01:40.959 --> 0:01:44.679 former assistant. She requested to address the court. We found 0:01:44.720 --> 0:01:46.160 out immediately ain't happening. 0:01:46.440 --> 0:01:48.760 It ain't happening, and it didn't look good for Diddy 0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:52.840 because his lawyers sent a note to the courts, to 0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:56.400 the judge asking that she not be allowed to testify 0:01:56.440 --> 0:01:59.200 because they claim she is not a victim. Now technically 0:01:59.560 --> 0:02:03.880 did he was not convicted on the allegations made by Mia. 0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:08.440 But even the judge ruled that the way the tone 0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:11.920 of the letter was that it was inappropriate. The prosecution 0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:15.320 said that it was a bullying tactic by Diddy and 0:02:15.320 --> 0:02:18.720 his defense team. So by them trying to get Mia 0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:20.680 not to testify, which she is not going to, she 0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:24.240 sent a letter instead, it didn't make them look good, 0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:29.960 sympathetic or in any way despite his apologies that we've 0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:33.280 heard about, that didn't make him feel very sympathetic or 0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:38.280 that he had learned anything at least through this court system. 0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:40.880 Because the at least in their argument that she shouldn't 0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:42.600 be able to testify, it didn't sound like they were 0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:45.200 making legal arguments. It sounded very personal, and even the 0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:48.120 prosecutor called it unprofessional. They flat out called her a liar. 0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:50.440 This is all a show for her. She wants to 0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:52.600 come back now and be a part of the show. 0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:54.480 And I said to you this morning we were getting read, 0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:56.120 I said, man, I wonder if that could be seen 0:02:56.160 --> 0:02:58.959 as like like she's not going to show up because 0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:01.960 she might feel intimidated bullied. Yes, sure enough is exactly. 0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:04.280 What happened, which is exactly what we've heard from people 0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:06.639 like Cassi event to Refine, who say that's why they 0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:09.959 don't want Ditty out because they say, sure, he's putting 0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:11.880 on this nice guy show and telling you all these 0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:13.840 wonderful things he's done in prison and how he's a 0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:16.560 changed man. But when you read or heard about the 0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:19.720 tone of that letter and how he didn't want Mia 0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:22.440 to be given the opportunity to speak or address the 0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:25.160 court about being a victim of his that was some 0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:28.359 insight perhaps into this other diddy that we're hearing about 0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:32.600 from Mia, from other witnesses, from his alleged victims. 0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:36.480 Well, yeah, she did submit her letter, not the same impact, 0:03:36.560 --> 0:03:39.400 but she did get a chance to submit a letter. Now, 0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:41.160 the things we talked about off top that didn't go 0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:44.160 his way Robes This is a big, big deal because 0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:45.960 this was a part of the fight the defense was 0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:50.560 happening with the prosecutors about what conduct of his should 0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:56.160 be considered in his sentencing. His two convictions are for 0:03:56.640 --> 0:04:00.840 transportation to engage in prostitution, essentially for being John. His 0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:04.200 defense team argues like, if this is all you're sentencing 0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:08.320 him for, then obviously he shouldn't get these big, some 0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:11.960 ten to twenty year sentence. Their argument is, yeah, you 0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:14.600 saw him beat her on camera, Yes he was a 0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:17.599 domestic abuser. Yes, he used drugs. Yeah, he wasn't convicted 0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:21.159 for any of that stuff. Well, now the judge this 0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:26.040 morning said, in fact, he is going to consider some 0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:28.600 of Ditty's bad behavior in sentencing him. 0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:31.000 This was huge, yes, and this was a big legal 0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:34.320 argument because Diddy's attorneys were trying to make the legal argument, 0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:36.719 the legal point that that shouldn't be considered. But the 0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:39.480 judge made it very clear that he can consider what 0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:42.800 they call acquitted conduct, the conduct that he was charged 0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:45.240 with but acquitted for, not convicted of by the jury. 0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:47.680 So you can, and the judge can certainly take into 0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:52.240 account Diddy's actions surrounding those charges that the jury didn't 0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:56.400 find him guilty of, meaning MEA's testimony is going to 0:04:56.440 --> 0:05:01.520 be considered by the judge and certainly cassi Ventur refines 0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:04.239 testimony is going to be considered by the judge as 0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:06.720 he makes his sentencing recommendation. 0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:09.599 All right, So that was one thing, the acquitted conduct 0:05:09.640 --> 0:05:13.320 can be considered. The other thing that can be considered 0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:16.479 excuse me, not to be considered as a part of 0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:19.600 the sentencing report. This pre sentencing report essentially you put 0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:21.320 all the information in there and it kind of gives 0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:24.000 you an equation for how much time somebody should get. Well. 0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:27.400 The defense wanted to include in there that Didty had 0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:32.599 taken responsibility for his actions. The judge said, oh, hell no, 0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:33.520 he has not. 0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:37.640 That is remarkable because yes, in our earlier episode, we 0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:41.400 read for you most of if not all, of Ditty's 0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:44.400 letter to the judge that he gave last night to 0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:47.200 the court, where he did say he was sorry, where 0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:51.039 he did write that he took full responsibility. But the 0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:55.200 judge wooh. The judge said, he expressed remorse for some things, 0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:59.160 but said quote Combs has challenged his factual guilt full 0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:02.760 throatedly and had done so even after trial. 0:06:03.400 --> 0:06:07.160 Ouch, how did she take responsibility if you're sitting here 0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:09.680 saying I'm not guilty. That was as simple a plane 0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:12.520 as you can make it. So they are not going 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:16.720 to include in this sentencing report that he took responsibility. Also, 0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:19.800 the defense was arguing, trying to make sure in this 0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:24.920 sentencing report do not call Cassie Jane or those male 0:06:25.040 --> 0:06:29.360 prostitutes victims. Now, I don't know why this was so key, 0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:31.680 but it mattered, and they argued about it. Once again. 0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:33.640 The je said, on to the defense you're not gonna 0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:34.040 win this one. 0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:37.160 Either, that's right. The judge is allowing Cassie Jane and 0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:40.680 the male prostitutes to be referred to as victims in 0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:44.440 this pre sentencing report. So, yes, he has been delivered 0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:45.760 blow after blow today. 0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:48.080 Yeah, this morning did not go well from him. And 0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:50.520 then so everything we're telling you led to what we 0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:54.200 are about to say now. So the defense Robes asked 0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:57.919 for fourteen months based on their calculation. Prosecution said he 0:06:57.920 --> 0:07:00.640 should get eleven years and three months based on their calculation. 0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:04.240 The judge with this pre sentence of report this morning, 0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:07.599 put all that information in there and he came up 0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:10.960 with the actual number that should be considered for how 0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:13.240 long did it should be in prison? In Robes, it 0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:14.680 is not looking good. 0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:18.240 No, seventy to eighty seven months. That's what the judge's 0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:21.560 calculation is based on the pre sentencing report. Everything that 0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:24.920 was put in. Is there a formula, an actual mathematic 0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:28.280 formula or an algorithm or something that he actually can 0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:31.320 put into a computer and it calculates it for him, 0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:33.080 or is he doing it in his own math in 0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:33.880 his own head. 0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:37.480 You know what. My understanding it is kind of like 0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:41.680 a legal like you fill in blanks. Is he, this 0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:43.320 is he, this is he, this and it and it's 0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:46.480 a standard form. And then after that it pops out 0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:48.920 and you go through and look and consider whatever scores 0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:50.680 or grades, and you go through and look and say, yep, 0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:52.960 this is the range of time he should get. So yeah, 0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:55.280 it's like it's like that. It's not literally that, but 0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:58.400 it's like putting numbers in a formula into an equation 0:07:58.440 --> 0:08:00.480 and then it spits out how much time you're to have. 0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:02.680 And this is what got spit out. So now it's 0:08:02.720 --> 0:08:04.960 not a matter that fourteen months and going home being 0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:06.200 home by Christmas. 0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:07.840 That's not happening. I think we can say that with 0:08:08.320 --> 0:08:11.560 pretty great assurance that he is not going home before 0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:14.320 the holidays or even before the end of the year. 0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:17.480 Given this judge. Now after he has said this. So 0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:21.120 that's what we're dealing with, is how far below or 0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:23.480 above the guidelines does this joke? 0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:27.000 So this guidelines is five years and ten months to 0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:29.360 seven years and three months, so seventy months to eighty 0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:33.720 seven months, that's I mean. So by that calculation minimum 0:08:33.760 --> 0:08:37.439 five years and ten months, maximum seven years three months. 0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:39.520 Now he can consider, like you said, to go up 0:08:39.600 --> 0:08:41.680 or to go down based on what he sees in court, 0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:44.160 but based on what we're hearing from the judge in court, 0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:46.600 doesn't seem like he's inclined to go down. 0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:48.439 Yes, okay, that's a better way to put it. Even 0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:50.400 if he doesn't go up, I certainly don't feel like 0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:52.520 he's going to go down. It doesn't seem that six 0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:56.080 years for Diddy in prison potentially at this point what 0:08:56.160 --> 0:08:59.960 we're looking at and indications seem to be fourteen months 0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:01.760 so already that means he's an extra four years in 0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:04.000 prison possibly, Yes. 0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:05.600 And I think you know, you and I had been 0:09:05.640 --> 0:09:08.440 talking about it, having followed this trial every single day. 0:09:08.760 --> 0:09:12.720 We both kind of privately made our best guesses, and 0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:14.600 you and I were both right around five years. We 0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:17.200 said that seems like that might be where this is headed, 0:09:17.200 --> 0:09:20.160 and could be that's exactly where this is headed or worse. 0:09:20.320 --> 0:09:23.520 Yes, And so during the day today, this continue this morning. 0:09:24.040 --> 0:09:26.400 So this is kind of again we didn't know how 0:09:26.480 --> 0:09:28.040 long this is going to go, but it's gone into 0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:31.360 what feels like now an almost full day of a hearing. 0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:34.080 But the prosecution got to make a presentation, the defense 0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:37.720 got to make a presentation as well. Those are through 0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:39.959 at least, and the kids got to talk the prosecutors. 0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:44.280 It was interesting. This was the moment of the morning. 0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:49.680 I believe Robes that they described as like Diddy's head 0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:52.560 even shot up and people, they said, every person in 0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:57.120 the room, their mouth dropped open. Because this Robes, if 0:09:57.160 --> 0:10:01.080 it is true, I can't believe for a second that 0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:02.120 Diddy would be this stupid. 0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:04.960 Yes, and because it does not look good. The prosecutor 0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:09.800 told the court that Diddy had already booked speaking engagements 0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:13.839 in Miami for next week and called it the height 0:10:14.240 --> 0:10:17.199 of hubris for him to do that, that he had 0:10:17.480 --> 0:10:20.479 such an expectation that he was going to be released 0:10:20.880 --> 0:10:25.840 after this sentencing. Hearing that he actually booked speaking engagements 0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:27.320 in Miami. 0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:28.720 What was our reaction to it? 0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:30.240 My jaw actually dropped. 0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:31.439 I didn't think it was true. 0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:32.960 You actually didn't believe it. 0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:35.440 That can't be true. Nobody's that stupid. Did He's not? 0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:38.640 Obviously not. Of course, you wouldn't do that. That's and 0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:41.880 yet and yet it appears he did. However, there is 0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:46.079 more to that story. There has been a letter, a 0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:48.880 briefing that has been filed and put on file. They 0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:52.640 were the court from a non profit organization in Miami 0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:56.720 that deals with incarcerated individuals who are making a transition 0:10:56.920 --> 0:11:01.560 back into society. He did, He, according to this letter 0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:05.400 from this group, is signed up to speak at that 0:11:05.880 --> 0:11:11.560 organization on October fourteenth, seventeenth, twenty third, twenty fifth, and 0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:12.360 twenty nine. 0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:15.160 And look, you asked me if it made a difference 0:11:15.200 --> 0:11:17.280 in my reaction to know that he was speaking to 0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:21.400 a nonprofit group, and my answer is not really, because 0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:23.760 he's still putting on his hero cape. Look at me, 0:11:24.080 --> 0:11:26.559 I'm reformed. Let me help you do the same. Let 0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:28.800 me tell he's still And even in the letter he 0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:31.240 sent to the judge, he had he was looking at 0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:35.000 everything through his own philanthropy and his own ability to 0:11:35.120 --> 0:11:38.120 overcome and his heroism. That it's too soon for that. 0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:43.040 It's way too soon for that. He's just apologized yesterday 0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:45.920 for all of this, and now he's going to be 0:11:45.960 --> 0:11:49.520 this motivational speaker. I'm sorry if that makes me feel 0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:54.080 actually like physically ill in some shape. It doesn't sit right. 0:11:54.440 --> 0:11:58.760 It's not the right timing. And certainly, yeah, that is 0:11:58.880 --> 0:12:01.760 some ego there to think that you actually were gonna 0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:03.920 be able to go and stand in front of a 0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:07.040 crowd and be hailed some good guy who's turned his 0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:09.720 life around, who's gonna help other people do the same. 0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:12.480 I want to hear more about this. I still cannot 0:12:12.520 --> 0:12:15.520 believe anyone who would be this. That's not even arrogance, 0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:18.719 that's pure stupidity. You know, if somebody's gonna find out 0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:21.520 about it, it's gonna this looks terrible. 0:12:21.640 --> 0:12:23.520 The reports in the room, I know you said people like, 0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:26.520 I don't know if you specified it was his head 0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:29.080 shot off. They said like he couldn't believe that, almost 0:12:29.080 --> 0:12:30.959 as if because we don't know, but it seemed as 0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:33.600 if he was shocked that they knew that he had 0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:36.240 a speaking Hey, he had several speaking engagements lined up. 0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:39.160 This that this one makes no sense. I actually am 0:12:39.200 --> 0:12:43.719 reserving of my opinion on this one until I hear 0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:48.040 cause I just can't believe that anyone would do this. 0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:50.640 I don't care what it is, A dentist appointment, I 0:12:50.679 --> 0:12:53.400 don't give a damn. How are you gonna make plans 0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:58.160 for next week? You're essentially telling the judge, yeah, I 0:12:58.200 --> 0:13:00.760 know what he gonna do. I'm out of here. The 0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:02.600 judge might give him nine years. 0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:05.520 I mean, in all seriousness, yes. 0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:09.720 Yes, okay, So the defense got to go up and 0:13:09.760 --> 0:13:12.880 make their presentation as well, and Rogues actually had two 0:13:12.960 --> 0:13:15.360 lawyers go up, and the second one Nicole Westmoreland, a 0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:18.840 black woman, who spoke for a little bit. She got 0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:21.920 quite emotional up there. Reports are she was crying and 0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:23.800 tearing up in there, but telling the story of what 0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:26.200 he has meant to the community and how much it 0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:28.880 was a big deal to see someone from where he's 0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:32.480 from succeed in the way he did. He built himself, 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:37.840 he built an industry, he built a company, and I think, yes, 0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:42.480 that is all true, and he did contribute so much 0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:45.680 and his success story is a brilliant one. Today a 0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:49.920 presentation see someone crying on his behalf again reading the 0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:55.320 room today, the timing of the video and the speaking engaged. 0:13:55.360 --> 0:13:56.400 Can we talk about the video? 0:13:56.720 --> 0:13:58.640 We haven't talked about it. Was it twelve fifteen minutes? 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:00.800 Whether it is yes, but it it was basically a 0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:05.600 highly produced, well lit video that showed did he running 0:14:05.640 --> 0:14:10.240 the New York City Marathon for a philanthropic cause, his 0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:13.920 playing with his young children, being a good dad, having 0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:17.319 people talk about what a phenomenal member of the community 0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:21.200 he's been. I'm sorry, but it's for me. That was 0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:25.760 just my initial reaction was and I have had moments 0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:28.600 where I have felt sorry for him in the sense 0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:32.160 that he had everything thrown at him and was facing 0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:34.680 charges that I don't even believe he necessarily should have 0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:37.200 been facing because he is who he was. And yet 0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:39.840 when that video, when we heard and saw some of 0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:42.880 the snippets, I just felt like it was manipulative. I 0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:46.000 felt like he thinks we're stupid, that somehow we just 0:14:46.040 --> 0:14:49.480 think he's this great guy. Now, it just it didn't. 0:14:50.600 --> 0:14:54.800 Not only did it not make me want to rally 0:14:54.800 --> 0:14:56.880 behind him or root for him, or hope that he 0:14:56.920 --> 0:14:59.400 gets a lighter sentence, it actually made me feel the opposite. 0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:02.440 That he was using his money, his wealth, his power 0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:05.120 to try and influence and the fact that he thinks 0:15:05.160 --> 0:15:07.560 we're so dumb that we're gonna fall for it. 0:15:08.320 --> 0:15:11.200 We've had a lot of feelings about this story, just 0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:13.880 as human beings watching this story. This is the one 0:15:13.920 --> 0:15:16.040 thing I couldn't believe how much of this video irked you. 0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:18.240 It really really did, and you see it. Dead timing 0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:21.120 is everything. This is the most I've seen you probably 0:15:21.160 --> 0:15:21.840 get annoyed. 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:22.000 Now. 0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:25.320 Obviously he's behavior was atrocies and things we saw. But 0:15:25.520 --> 0:15:26.720 this set you off. 0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:30.360 It did today, it did. It did not sit well 0:15:30.360 --> 0:15:33.880 with me, and I can't imagine it sat well with 0:15:33.920 --> 0:15:36.080 the judge. But you know what, I don't know. That's 0:15:36.160 --> 0:15:39.560 just my personal reaction having listened to everything he's accused 0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:42.760 of having listened to these women, sob up there on 0:15:42.800 --> 0:15:45.840 the witness stand and talk about decades of abuse, and 0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:49.040 he's put together this shiny package of how great of 0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:50.720 a guy he is. It's tough, it's trying. 0:15:50.800 --> 0:15:52.840 He's trying to remind the judge what they call these 0:15:53.720 --> 0:15:57.040 mitigation factors, what they call well, yeah, he's trying to 0:15:57.080 --> 0:16:00.280 mitigate just how much his sentence will be by reminding 0:16:00.640 --> 0:16:04.760 that I was and I have contributed to society in 0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:06.560 a positive way in some way. I think that's all 0:16:06.560 --> 0:16:08.440 he's trying to do, Just show himself and remind the 0:16:08.480 --> 0:16:11.280 judge that hey, I've done some good stuff. Was as 0:16:11.320 --> 0:16:14.080 simple as that. It didn't work for me, But it 0:16:14.160 --> 0:16:16.960 just seems like a show at this time, like obviously 0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:18.840 we know what you're doing. And I think that's all 0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:19.480 you see when. 0:16:19.400 --> 0:16:21.880 You see that yes, yes, exactly, and know what you're 0:16:21.880 --> 0:16:24.320 trying to do, yes, and I think everyone's aware of 0:16:24.360 --> 0:16:26.280 some of the contributions he made. I mean, he was 0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:29.280 on his way to becoming a billionaire and he yes. 0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:31.000 I think in that sense, when you have that kind 0:16:31.000 --> 0:16:33.120 of a platform, there is a level of responsibility to 0:16:33.440 --> 0:16:34.920 do good and to be good. So I don't even 0:16:34.960 --> 0:16:37.040 give him that many kudos for what he did. 0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:41.120 Okay, I didn't think about it that way. But also 0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:46.480 in the courtroom this morning, folks reportedly did he was 0:16:46.520 --> 0:16:51.040 in tears? Did he was in tears in court? We 0:16:51.080 --> 0:16:56.520 will explain who was standing at that podium when did 0:16:56.560 --> 0:17:09.280 he started to cry. We continue now with Diddy. We 0:17:09.359 --> 0:17:13.280 are on standby as we speak. They are on a 0:17:13.359 --> 0:17:16.520 lunch break for his sentencing. Hearing going to start back 0:17:16.560 --> 0:17:19.439 up at two o'clock Eastern time. After that, we expect 0:17:19.440 --> 0:17:22.000 to hear from Diddy. We expect to hear from the judge. 0:17:22.400 --> 0:17:24.919 We expect to hear from his pastor as well. But 0:17:24.960 --> 0:17:26.679 we don't know how much longer this might go. But 0:17:26.760 --> 0:17:28.520 we will find out today how much time did he 0:17:28.560 --> 0:17:30.680 will get in prison. The judge has now set the 0:17:30.680 --> 0:17:35.359 guideline somewhere between roughly six and seven years, which is 0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:38.440 much higher than what the defense was asking for now 0:17:38.520 --> 0:17:41.560 robes his kid's guide up to speak. Six he's a 0:17:41.600 --> 0:17:44.040 six adult children got up to speak, and this was 0:17:44.080 --> 0:17:47.760 the moment they described in court that Diddy actually was 0:17:47.840 --> 0:17:50.240 absolutely in tears. Yeah, and his six kids got and 0:17:50.320 --> 0:17:52.159 we wondered where they are all going to speak individually, but 0:17:52.160 --> 0:17:53.600 they went up there as a group, and I bet 0:17:53.640 --> 0:17:54.880 that was a hell of a scene to see. 0:17:55.000 --> 0:17:56.879 Oh yeah, and that to me, so here we have 0:17:57.040 --> 0:18:00.560 now to me something that's real, something that I understand 0:18:00.600 --> 0:18:03.120 and I can relate to as a parent, as a human, 0:18:03.160 --> 0:18:05.159 no matter what you've done with your life, when your 0:18:05.240 --> 0:18:07.320 children get up there and speak on your behalf, that 0:18:07.400 --> 0:18:10.960 is an emotional, real moment that doesn't feel performative in 0:18:11.040 --> 0:18:13.800 any way. And so this is where I felt differently 0:18:13.880 --> 0:18:16.199 about what I've seen in the courtroom today, because if 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:17.920 there was more of that, if there was more contrition, 0:18:18.040 --> 0:18:21.159 if there was more humility, I would feel a lot 0:18:21.200 --> 0:18:23.320 differently about what I've seen so far. This was a 0:18:23.359 --> 0:18:26.320 moment where there was those things. And so it was 0:18:26.320 --> 0:18:31.520 his daughter, I believe, who talked about watching him nurture her. 0:18:31.720 --> 0:18:33.119 Talking about this. So he has a two year old, 0:18:33.160 --> 0:18:35.040 so as the adult kids and then a little one 0:18:35.040 --> 0:18:37.640 two year old named loved name. So an older kid 0:18:37.680 --> 0:18:38.840 was talking about the two year old. 0:18:38.720 --> 0:18:41.800 Ana, So his daughter said, watching him nurture her, even 0:18:41.840 --> 0:18:45.400 from a distance, has been unexpectedly healing. I can see 0:18:45.440 --> 0:18:48.480 glimpses of the father he was to us as babies, 0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:51.640 But it also breaks my heart because my sister deserves 0:18:51.840 --> 0:18:55.040 so much more than this. I mean that, yes, but 0:18:55.119 --> 0:18:57.080 I also I don't know. Did to jump out to 0:18:57.080 --> 0:18:59.399 you that? She said, she can start to see glimpses 0:18:59.520 --> 0:19:01.840 of the fire he was to us his babies, meaning 0:19:01.840 --> 0:19:03.199 he still has a lot more work to do. 0:19:03.920 --> 0:19:05.720 Yeah, I mean, but he's been in prison for a year. 0:19:05.880 --> 0:19:08.720 How much parenting in there? He said, worse two years 0:19:08.760 --> 0:19:10.959 of his life. You know, the past year was the hardest, 0:19:11.000 --> 0:19:13.360 probably the time he spent at prison. I'm not sure 0:19:13.359 --> 0:19:14.800 what kind of a guy, what kind of a father, 0:19:14.840 --> 0:19:16.720 what kind of a light? What kind of inspiration can 0:19:16.760 --> 0:19:20.760 he be to his kids? Behind a sell So, I 0:19:20.800 --> 0:19:21.040 don't know. 0:19:21.119 --> 0:19:22.560 Yeah, and so she went on to say this, and 0:19:22.600 --> 0:19:25.400 this was definitely going to pull at everyone's heart strings. 0:19:25.720 --> 0:19:28.520 We know he isn't perfect, and he has made many mistakes, 0:19:28.520 --> 0:19:31.320 and we aren't here to excuse any of those mistakes, 0:19:31.600 --> 0:19:33.560 but your honor, he is still our dad and we 0:19:33.640 --> 0:19:35.560 still need him present in our lives. 0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:37.280 I get that. 0:19:38.560 --> 0:19:39.040 I get that. 0:19:39.600 --> 0:19:42.000 And the kids who have lost who lost their moms. 0:19:41.800 --> 0:19:44.280 This is their only parent, so she said, our two 0:19:44.320 --> 0:19:46.960 year old sisters asking where dad is, the same way 0:19:46.960 --> 0:19:49.720 we grew up motherless. It's a hole that can't be filled. 0:19:49.760 --> 0:19:52.480 We are tired of being strong. We have already lost 0:19:52.520 --> 0:19:55.399
