WEBVTT - Overnight: Diddy Just Lost His Trump Card

0:00:10.520 --> 0:00:14.480
<v Speaker 1>Hey there, folks, it is Friday, January ninth, and yes,

0:00:14.680 --> 0:00:17.439
<v Speaker 1>did he is sitting in prison, but things actually just

0:00:17.520 --> 0:00:19.560
<v Speaker 1>got worse for him. And with that, welcome to this

0:00:19.600 --> 0:00:23.120
<v Speaker 1>episode of Amy and TJ just got works, Robes, because

0:00:23.160 --> 0:00:25.600
<v Speaker 1>he has very few options for getting out of prison

0:00:25.760 --> 0:00:29.480
<v Speaker 1>and one of them apparently just went away.

0:00:30.080 --> 0:00:31.160
<v Speaker 2>It's coming out of DC.

0:00:31.400 --> 0:00:34.760
<v Speaker 3>Yes it is. And look, we have been waiting to

0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:40.479
<v Speaker 3>see if President Trump would pardon or consider pardoning did he?

0:00:40.600 --> 0:00:42.720
<v Speaker 3>This has been on the table from the get go

0:00:43.240 --> 0:00:46.720
<v Speaker 3>before his trial, During his trial, after his trial, he

0:00:46.800 --> 0:00:50.000
<v Speaker 3>has been asked. The President has been asked repeatedly, hey,

0:00:50.400 --> 0:00:51.960
<v Speaker 3>would you consider pardoning?

0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:52.960
<v Speaker 2>Did he?

0:00:53.200 --> 0:00:55.960
<v Speaker 1>And he was asked one more time by the New

0:00:56.040 --> 0:00:57.920
<v Speaker 1>York Times And this was the one and the reason

0:00:58.000 --> 0:00:59.920
<v Speaker 1>we were hopping on given the update, Robes is because

0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:02.600
<v Speaker 1>he gave an answer like he had never given before.

0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:07.520
<v Speaker 1>And we're actually getting the most official, I guess response

0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:09.559
<v Speaker 1>and confirmation that a request has been made.

0:01:09.640 --> 0:01:12.480
<v Speaker 3>That's right. So Trump has revealed for the first time

0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:17.440
<v Speaker 3>ever that did he actually sent him a letter asking

0:01:17.640 --> 0:01:21.520
<v Speaker 3>for a pardon, And for the first time ever, we

0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:27.319
<v Speaker 3>heard the President say he is not considering granting Diddy's

0:01:27.360 --> 0:01:28.440
<v Speaker 3>request for that pardon.

0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:29.959
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's side.

0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:32.480
<v Speaker 1>Look, his appeals are going on, and his lawyers are

0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:34.440
<v Speaker 1>the best in the country and are making the best

0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:38.320
<v Speaker 1>legal arguments. But if you were a betting man or

0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:40.640
<v Speaker 1>a betten woman, and you were in Vegas and you

0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:42.840
<v Speaker 1>put your money on which of these two is his

0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:45.120
<v Speaker 1>best option, a lot of people might have put their

0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:46.440
<v Speaker 1>money on a pardon from Trump.

0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:49.320
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely, And look, we have been hearing from him, and

0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:51.160
<v Speaker 3>we'll get into some of the back and forth. But

0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:54.320
<v Speaker 3>the President had not shut the door, and you were

0:01:54.360 --> 0:01:56.920
<v Speaker 3>even saying, by the language he chose with the New

0:01:57.000 --> 0:01:59.920
<v Speaker 3>York Times that he might have still left a crow

0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:04.840
<v Speaker 3>open for the possibility perhaps in the future.

0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:08.600
<v Speaker 1>Obviously, he I say, obviously, it's it's it's obvious to me.

0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:14.640
<v Speaker 1>But we speak on Rose. He's the headlines are everywhere

0:02:14.680 --> 0:02:16.760
<v Speaker 1>this morning, and folks will see them that say Trump

0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:19.960
<v Speaker 1>says he is not going to pardon Diddyo, or Trump

0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:22.520
<v Speaker 1>shuts the door on partning Diddy or all those things,

0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:25.280
<v Speaker 1>and you could read it as such, but his language robes.

0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:28.959
<v Speaker 1>He didn't say I'm not going to pardon this man.

0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:32.880
<v Speaker 1>He chose his words carefully, and they could be true.

0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:37.119
<v Speaker 1>I am not considering partnering him, which is a statement

0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:41.359
<v Speaker 1>steeped in present moment, and.

0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:45.960
<v Speaker 3>Not considering him doesn't say I'll never consider him or

0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:49.320
<v Speaker 3>I won't consider him in the future. Just right now,

0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:52.000
<v Speaker 3>I am not considering And he didn't say right now,

0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:55.280
<v Speaker 3>but you could infer that that is a part of

0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:58.639
<v Speaker 3>that sentence. And look this letter that we're hearing about.

0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:01.200
<v Speaker 3>So when he tells the New York Times that he

0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:03.880
<v Speaker 3>asked me for a pardon through a letter, obviously the

0:03:03.919 --> 0:03:07.360
<v Speaker 3>next question from the New York Times is going to

0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:10.280
<v Speaker 3>be can we see it? And in fact President Trump

0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:12.920
<v Speaker 3>beat them to it. He said, oh, would you like

0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:18.120
<v Speaker 3>to see that letter? He knew exactly that. Obviously, reporters

0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:19.919
<v Speaker 3>have been chopping at the bit to try and find

0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:22.640
<v Speaker 3>out where his head was. But now to be able

0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:24.800
<v Speaker 3>to see a letter that did he wrote to the

0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:27.800
<v Speaker 3>president to see where Sean diddy Combe's head is and

0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:30.160
<v Speaker 3>how he asked him and what he said, that would

0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:31.520
<v Speaker 3>be Reporter Gold.

0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:34.399
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if we'll see it.

0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:37.440
<v Speaker 1>It felt like one of the things once again that right,

0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:40.080
<v Speaker 1>Trump is very good at dangling over the press and

0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:42.600
<v Speaker 1>keeps our focus right there for a little bit. And

0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:47.560
<v Speaker 1>I got the impression, Brob, do you tell me that

0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:49.880
<v Speaker 1>this was a letter. This wasn't a legal letter, This

0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:53.400
<v Speaker 1>wasn't something written by an attorney. This was from Diddy personally.

0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:55.920
<v Speaker 3>It did seem that's what he the way he said it,

0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:58.680
<v Speaker 3>it did sound as though Sean Didty Combs personally wrote

0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:01.520
<v Speaker 3>President Trump a letter teasing the reporters, would you like

0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:04.600
<v Speaker 3>to see the letter? So, of course the reporter said yes.

0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:08.040
<v Speaker 3>But then they made it very clear in the article

0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:11.160
<v Speaker 3>that President Trump in fact did not produce that letter

0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:13.040
<v Speaker 3>for them. And then they said after the interview, they

0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:15.760
<v Speaker 3>went back and they asked for a copy of the letter,

0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:18.280
<v Speaker 3>or they asked the White House, could you even give

0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:21.120
<v Speaker 3>us a description of its contents. We'll take that too.

0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:25.400
<v Speaker 3>The White House just referred reporters back to his original

0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:30.200
<v Speaker 3>comments that he is not considering pardoning Sean Ditty Combs.

0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:34.159
<v Speaker 3>So they also tried to go through Ditty's lawyers. They

0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:37.240
<v Speaker 3>too did not respond to a request for a comment

0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:39.200
<v Speaker 3>about the letter. So they were just trying to get

0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:43.120
<v Speaker 3>some corroboration or at least some idea of what Didty

0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:44.039
<v Speaker 3>said in that letter.

0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:47.560
<v Speaker 1>I know this is significant after what we saw last year. Alter,

0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:51.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean this was the talk of the tier the year,

0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:53.000
<v Speaker 1>at least from a legal standpoint.

0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:53.560
<v Speaker 2>Was it not?

0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:54.200
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely?

0:04:54.240 --> 0:05:02.440
<v Speaker 1>It had implications of race, of the entertainment industry, power men, abuse,

0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:08.320
<v Speaker 1>physical assaults, responsibility, corhersion. I mean, you keep going and going.

0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:10.640
<v Speaker 1>It just had all of these elements to it that

0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:14.760
<v Speaker 1>had the whole country talking, not just about some baby oil,

0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:18.359
<v Speaker 1>but we were having real conversations about what this meant,

0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:22.800
<v Speaker 1>and responsibility and friendships and who should step in and

0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:25.960
<v Speaker 1>women and with the Stuart this was everything.

0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:28.200
<v Speaker 2>So to think that the guy at the center.

0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:32.800
<v Speaker 1>Of all of that might possibly end up walking out

0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:36.400
<v Speaker 1>of jail way early is top of mind for a

0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:38.560
<v Speaker 1>lot of people and relevant to the justice system. So

0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:41.599
<v Speaker 1>to hear that one of his what some would say

0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:44.839
<v Speaker 1>best options might be off the table, it does bring

0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:45.880
<v Speaker 1>this to a level.

0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:48.760
<v Speaker 3>It certainly does. So he loses what, yes, many would

0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:52.760
<v Speaker 3>consider his best or easiest path out of prison, but

0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:55.240
<v Speaker 3>a lot of us I mean, we mentioned it, but

0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:57.680
<v Speaker 3>we didn't focus on it. Because it was on Christmas Eve,

0:05:57.760 --> 0:06:02.400
<v Speaker 3>December twenty fourth, that Diddy's lawyer made that official appeal.

0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:06.640
<v Speaker 3>So they appealed his conviction and they also appealed his sentence,

0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:10.960
<v Speaker 3>so his attorney, one of his attorneys, Alexandra Shapiro, I

0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:13.560
<v Speaker 3>thought this was interesting in the filing on Christmas Eve,

0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:18.560
<v Speaker 3>this really is his last ditch, This is his last

0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:22.760
<v Speaker 3>chance at getting out of prison. So in the appeal,

0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:27.840
<v Speaker 3>in the filing, she called his sentence unlawful, unconstitutional, and

0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:31.840
<v Speaker 3>a perversion of justice, and she asked the appeals court

0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:34.799
<v Speaker 3>to consider two things. First of all, just to actually

0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:38.400
<v Speaker 3>throw out his conviction entirely. But if the appeals court

0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:40.560
<v Speaker 3>decides not to do that, they're asking for him to

0:06:40.600 --> 0:06:45.040
<v Speaker 3>be re sentenced. And that's interesting because they are going

0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:47.680
<v Speaker 3>after the judge in this case. They said that the

0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:53.119
<v Speaker 3>judge did not properly follow sentencing guidelines when sending him

0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:55.800
<v Speaker 3>to prison for fifty months that was his prison sentence.

0:06:56.160 --> 0:06:59.040
<v Speaker 3>They actually used this word. They said the judge flouted

0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:03.880
<v Speaker 3>new guylines and improperly considered conduct for which Combs had

0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:08.600
<v Speaker 3>already been acquitted when they when the judge formulated his sentence.

0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:10.160
<v Speaker 3>And we've talked a lot about this.

0:07:10.320 --> 0:07:12.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean the judge was I mean, the judge

0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:14.200
<v Speaker 1>wasn't shy about it. He says, yeah, I know these

0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:16.640
<v Speaker 1>things you weren't the more serious charges. He was not

0:07:16.680 --> 0:07:20.480
<v Speaker 1>convicted of. He said, still I am. I think you're

0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:23.400
<v Speaker 1>a bad dude who did some bad stuff, and I'm

0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:26.280
<v Speaker 1>still going to consider stuff you were not convicted of

0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:29.960
<v Speaker 1>in your sentence, which I mean, just from a lay person,

0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:34.160
<v Speaker 1>sounds wrong. But I might not be legally wrong, but

0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:35.200
<v Speaker 1>it sounds wrong.

0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:35.600
<v Speaker 2>Yes.

0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:40.000
<v Speaker 3>So in the filing, Diddy's attorneys said that the judge

0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:43.640
<v Speaker 3>acted as a thirteenth juror exactly to what you're saying.

0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:46.000
<v Speaker 3>So he acted as a thirteenth jurer in the case,

0:07:46.000 --> 0:07:49.240
<v Speaker 3>and they called the sentence draconian. So they are going

0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:52.400
<v Speaker 3>after this judge in a way that they haven't before

0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:55.280
<v Speaker 3>because up until now they've been trying to appeal to

0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:56.360
<v Speaker 3>that said judge.

0:07:56.680 --> 0:07:59.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he was literally his judge. I mean, he was

0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:02.679
<v Speaker 1>judging him on everything. So yeah, they were very kind

0:08:02.720 --> 0:08:05.480
<v Speaker 1>to him and did he even have nice words.

0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:08.240
<v Speaker 3>But he's been doing a fabulous job right right before

0:08:08.320 --> 0:08:10.320
<v Speaker 3>the verdict. Yes, he was doing his best to try

0:08:10.320 --> 0:08:13.080
<v Speaker 3>and butter him up. It did not work. Yes, because

0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:15.200
<v Speaker 3>in September, just a few months ago, you remember, this

0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:17.840
<v Speaker 3>was the other effort they were making to try and

0:08:17.840 --> 0:08:20.480
<v Speaker 3>get him out of prison. They were actually appealing directly

0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:23.760
<v Speaker 3>to that judge. They said, Hey, he was convicted under

0:08:23.800 --> 0:08:28.040
<v Speaker 3>the Man Act. This was not an act that was

0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:31.160
<v Speaker 3>intended for its current use. This is an act just

0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:34.840
<v Speaker 3>steeped in racism, and this was not the original intent

0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:38.080
<v Speaker 3>of the law, and it was applied to Diddy to

0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:43.400
<v Speaker 3>get these longer prison sentences. The judge said, nah, too bad,

0:08:43.520 --> 0:08:46.560
<v Speaker 3>so sad. So that didn't work appealing to the judge.

0:08:46.559 --> 0:08:49.600
<v Speaker 3>So now they're appealing to a federal appellate court, and

0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:52.200
<v Speaker 3>they're throwing the judge under the bus.

0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:55.960
<v Speaker 1>Yes, appealing to an appellate court, but no longer can

0:08:56.000 --> 0:08:59.400
<v Speaker 1>he appeal to maybe President Trump, who now seems to

0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:03.320
<v Speaker 1>be saying he is not considering a pardon. But would

0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:06.920
<v Speaker 1>you believe, folks, we have to go back, maybe I

0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:10.160
<v Speaker 1>don't know, ten years to get the answer as to

0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:15.360
<v Speaker 1>why did he isn't at home chilling in Miami right now. Yes,

0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:18.360
<v Speaker 1>it has to do with his relationship with President Trump,

0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:21.040
<v Speaker 1>and if he had just done a few things differently

0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:23.600
<v Speaker 1>all those years ago, he might be home. Stay here,

0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:35.640
<v Speaker 1>we'll explain, all right, We continue here on Amy and

0:09:35.679 --> 0:09:38.920
<v Speaker 1>TJ on this Friday, January ninth, just getting word from

0:09:38.920 --> 0:09:41.480
<v Speaker 1>President Trump that he is taking away at least one

0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:44.760
<v Speaker 1>what some thought was a pretty decent option for getting

0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:47.000
<v Speaker 1>out of prison for Diddy, which was a presidential pardon.

0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:49.120
<v Speaker 1>President Trump telling the New York Times in an interview

0:09:49.120 --> 0:09:53.559
<v Speaker 1>that he is not considering pardoning did He, even though

0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:56.280
<v Speaker 1>he is now acknowledging did he did officially send him

0:09:56.320 --> 0:09:59.439
<v Speaker 1>a letter asking for a pardon and robes He's going

0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:01.160
<v Speaker 1>back and forth. We talk about how much he has

0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:04.640
<v Speaker 1>kind of teased the press when asked a question about

0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:09.440
<v Speaker 1>pardoning Diddy, and he has given some insights into their

0:10:09.520 --> 0:10:13.319
<v Speaker 1>history and certainly into how he now views their relationship.

0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:16.640
<v Speaker 3>Yes, we have so many quotes over the past several

0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:19.600
<v Speaker 3>months from President Trump that were teasing where he might

0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:22.240
<v Speaker 3>be leaning when it came to whether or not he

0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:25.440
<v Speaker 3>would pardon Didty. But he did make it clear that

0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:28.840
<v Speaker 3>they did at one point have a friendly relationship. He said,

0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:31.080
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to quote the president here. I was very

0:10:31.080 --> 0:10:33.720
<v Speaker 3>friendly with him. I got along with him great and

0:10:33.880 --> 0:10:36.120
<v Speaker 3>seemed like a nice guy. I didn't know him well,

0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:39.720
<v Speaker 3>but when I ran for office, he was very hostile.

0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:43.640
<v Speaker 3>That is the key point here. So everything was good

0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:44.920
<v Speaker 3>until twenty sixteen.

0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:47.560
<v Speaker 2>Do you remember what did he said?

0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:49.880
<v Speaker 1>There was something out there but I can't remember it

0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:52.880
<v Speaker 1>being that harsh or maybe what he took it personally.

0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:54.679
<v Speaker 3>He did take it personally. And I don't know the

0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:58.160
<v Speaker 3>exact comments that Trump is referring to, but he says

0:10:58.240 --> 0:11:02.600
<v Speaker 3>that Colmbs made some nasty statements about him at the

0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:04.840
<v Speaker 3>time when he was running for president. He said that

0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:07.640
<v Speaker 3>Combs used to really like me a lot, but that

0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:11.760
<v Speaker 3>relationship busted up, and so here are a few other things.

0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:14.440
<v Speaker 3>He said that we could read the tea leaves, but

0:11:14.480 --> 0:11:18.160
<v Speaker 3>he always left open this possibility that he might consider it.

0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:20.600
<v Speaker 3>So he said, I haven't seen him, I haven't spoken

0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:23.160
<v Speaker 3>to him for years. I don't know. I would certainly

0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:25.959
<v Speaker 3>look at the facts. If I think somebody was mistreated,

0:11:26.040 --> 0:11:29.040
<v Speaker 3>it wouldn't matter whether they like me or don't. Do

0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:32.480
<v Speaker 3>you believe that, No, I don't either, Because then he

0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:39.120
<v Speaker 3>kept saying other things that belied that last statement. He said,

0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:41.520
<v Speaker 3>after the ditty verdict, I had not heard this one before.

0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:43.920
<v Speaker 3>Tell me if you did before. But President Trump said

0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:47.440
<v Speaker 3>after did he was convicted of two of the lesser accounts,

0:11:47.480 --> 0:11:49.920
<v Speaker 3>He said, well, he was essentially, I guess sort of

0:11:50.120 --> 0:11:53.520
<v Speaker 3>half innocent. I know what they do still in jail

0:11:53.600 --> 0:11:56.120
<v Speaker 3>or something, But he was celebrating a victory, but I

0:11:56.160 --> 0:11:58.199
<v Speaker 3>guess it wasn't as good of a victory.

0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:00.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't remember that one. I don't at all.

0:12:00.920 --> 0:12:03.680
<v Speaker 2>That did make a lot of head No it did not.

0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:06.520
<v Speaker 3>But he said, we're human beings. We don't like to

0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:09.199
<v Speaker 3>have things clout our judgment, right, But when you knew

0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:12.720
<v Speaker 3>someone and you were fine, and then you run for office,

0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:15.320
<v Speaker 3>and he made some terrible statements. So I don't know,

0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:18.560
<v Speaker 3>it's more difficult, makes it more I'm being honest, makes

0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:22.040
<v Speaker 3>it more difficult to do when it comes to partning someone.

0:12:22.080 --> 0:12:26.760
<v Speaker 3>So to me, that was the point. He he and

0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:29.880
<v Speaker 3>and I've thought about this when I read the headlines

0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:32.640
<v Speaker 3>that Trump has now said he's not considering pardoning Diddy.

0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:35.960
<v Speaker 3>You know, when you first go into the workforce, someone

0:12:36.040 --> 0:12:38.480
<v Speaker 3>always gives you this advice. You meet the same people

0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:40.839
<v Speaker 3>on the way up as you do on the way down.

0:12:41.360 --> 0:12:44.600
<v Speaker 3>And if Diddy had just remembered that, maybe he'd be

0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:47.240
<v Speaker 3>in a different position right now when he wrote that

0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:51.199
<v Speaker 3>letter to President Trump, if he maybe just hadn't said,

0:12:51.480 --> 0:12:55.440
<v Speaker 3>I don't know, made a comment about the political race.

0:12:55.920 --> 0:12:58.560
<v Speaker 3>This might just be a warning. You never know, you

0:12:58.679 --> 0:12:59.960
<v Speaker 3>never know whose help you're going to.

0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:05.440
<v Speaker 1>Need lessons today from Diddy and Trump. But that is

0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:08.600
<v Speaker 1>one hundred percent correct when you think of the possibility

0:13:08.640 --> 0:13:11.360
<v Speaker 1>that Diddy could be home right now in that fifty

0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:15.760
<v Speaker 1>million dollar home if he had just ten years ago

0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:20.280
<v Speaker 1>not said anything about Trump running for office, or not

0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:23.440
<v Speaker 1>said anything nasty about him running for office or supported him.

0:13:24.400 --> 0:13:27.960
<v Speaker 1>Just it's incredible to maybe think about where he would be.

0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:30.600
<v Speaker 1>And so, yes, that maybe that's the lesson.

0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:31.959
<v Speaker 2>Just be careful.

0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:34.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean, the thing is you you imagine, I mean,

0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:39.000
<v Speaker 3>you're someone like President Trump and you have people's freedom

0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:41.560
<v Speaker 3>in your hands. You know, that is one of the

0:13:41.840 --> 0:13:45.359
<v Speaker 3>incredible powers of the presidency that you have that ability

0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:47.760
<v Speaker 3>no matter what someone's accused of, no matter what someone's

0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:51.360
<v Speaker 3>been convicted of, you can set someone free, and if

0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:55.760
<v Speaker 3>you have pissed off that person, Yeah, I mean, especially

0:13:55.760 --> 0:13:58.200
<v Speaker 3>someone like President Trump. I'm not saying he wouldn't consider

0:13:58.240 --> 0:13:59.800
<v Speaker 3>the facts. I'm not saying he wouldn't look at the

0:13:59.840 --> 0:14:04.120
<v Speaker 3>case obviously in its entirety, but how someone made you

0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:08.120
<v Speaker 3>feel as a human being is such a huge part

0:14:08.200 --> 0:14:09.120
<v Speaker 3>of your decision.

0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:12.360
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was an honest statement, and I thought

0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:15.720
<v Speaker 1>he put it in not necessarily in Trump terms. He

0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:18.920
<v Speaker 1>was almost humble in the way he was saying it. Yeah,

0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:21.080
<v Speaker 1>this guy hurt my feelings years ago, and I have

0:14:21.120 --> 0:14:23.720
<v Speaker 1>to be honest, that still sticks with me. He said

0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:25.960
<v Speaker 1>it in a way that I appreciate it, and maybe

0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:26.960
<v Speaker 1>we're not used to.

0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:27.640
<v Speaker 2>Hearing from him.

0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:29.480
<v Speaker 3>Wouldn't you love to read that letter though?

0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:33.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you remember the letter he wrote to the judge.

0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:35.400
<v Speaker 1>He had a long letter he had written to the

0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:37.880
<v Speaker 1>judge around his sentencing time as well.

0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:39.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure it's a good one.

0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:42.400
<v Speaker 3>I'm sure it is too. But you know, also as

0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:45.600
<v Speaker 3>a human being, when someone writes something to you that's flattering,

0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:50.800
<v Speaker 3>that's kind, that's humble, that's even reflective. If they want

0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:54.040
<v Speaker 3>something from you in return for that letter, it just

0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:55.000
<v Speaker 3>doesn't read the same.

0:14:55.240 --> 0:14:59.560
<v Speaker 1>But still, people like to be praised and honored and

0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:03.280
<v Speaker 1>begged for things. People love to have power over others.

0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:10.880
<v Speaker 1>So we'll see man, Glenn Maxwell's diddy. My goodness, that's

0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:12.520
<v Speaker 1>the thing. I think a couple of rappers are even

0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:16.040
<v Speaker 1>asking for a pardon. Why not? This is the best
