Speaker 1: Now let's get to the latest on the federal sex
Speaker 1: trafficking and racketeering trial of Sean Diddy Combs. Earlier today,
Speaker 1: a forensic video expert testified that the twenty sixteen video
Speaker 1: from the Intercontinental Hotel that showed Comb's assaulting Casti Ventura
Speaker 1: was not manually altered. This follows testimony yesterday from Eddie Garcia,
Speaker 1: a former security officer at the Intercontinental. Becauseia talked about
Speaker 1: how Combs allegedly tried to cover up the video, saying
Speaker 1: he accepted one hundred thousand dollars from Combs in exchange
Speaker 1: for the footage. Combs is pleaded not guilty to all
Speaker 1: charges that include racketeering, conspiracy, and sex trafficking. If convicted
Speaker 1: on all counts, he could face up to life imprisonment.
Speaker 1: Once again, this is not a good look, but I
Speaker 1: want to emphasize something here because I was. I remember
Speaker 1: I was at the barbershop the other day arguing with
Speaker 1: one of my barbers. Whenever I'm traveling, I've got barbers.
Speaker 1: You know. I run into barbers in several cities, so
Speaker 1: I might let them cut me in. I was the
Speaker 1: other day, this guy, Peter, one of the barbers, was
Speaker 1: talking to me and he was saying that, you know what,
Speaker 1: it's not fair. It's not fair how everybody's covering the
Speaker 1: Didty trial. I'm like, stop, stop the bitching. Stop it. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's not what the issue is. The issue is that
Speaker 1: the defense that the prosecution is making their case. Now,
Speaker 1: the defense could try to refute it, and then they're
Speaker 1: gonna have their opportunity to bring on their own witnesses
Speaker 1: and to make their case against any of the witnesses
Speaker 1: who have testified against Ditty. So we have to understand
Speaker 1: that and understand that all of the things that are
Speaker 1: being presented and portrayed, by and large is from a
Speaker 1: prosecution that it's charging with sex trafficking and racketeering, and
Speaker 1: everything that they're doing is an attempt to make their
Speaker 1: case stronger and stronger. Now, according to the Ryan Smiths,
Speaker 1: the Eli Hornings of the world, and others who have
Speaker 1: been on this show, the prosecution is making their case
Speaker 1: stronger and stronger every day. When you show a violent
Speaker 1: video of him when he was beating on Cassie Ventura,
Speaker 1: guess what, there's no way around that. When you show
Speaker 1: the tape of showing Dinny Combs, you know, apologizing and
Speaker 1: coming across as very contrite, saying quote unquote, I was
Speaker 1: really fucked up at the time, I was really messed
Speaker 1: up bad. These were his words, not anybody else's. You
Speaker 1: recognize he recognizes his level of guilt in terms of
Speaker 1: domestic violence. For those that would argue that's not sex trafficking,
Speaker 1: that's not racketeering, well, if they're making the case that
Speaker 1: these charges are evident because of intimidation that has been exercised,
Speaker 1: then that video suddenly becomes relevant. That his contrition towards
Speaker 1: about that video suddenly becomes relevant. When you look at
Speaker 1: the fact that he's paying off folks one hundred thousand
Speaker 1: dollars to destroy videos and things of that nature, well
Speaker 1: that comes along with racketeering and sex trafficking. In the
Speaker 1: prosecution's eyes, this is the case that they're making. And
Speaker 1: unless he can refute these things and can say that
Speaker 1: they didn't have and throw holes into the argument of
Speaker 1: the prosecution, it doesn't look good. It doesn't look good. Now.
Speaker 1: Having said all of that, to get back to my man, Peter,
Speaker 1: that's the prosecution story. Eventually we will hear the defense.
Speaker 1: Will there be holes to poke in those arguments? Will
Speaker 1: there be facts that are definitively refuted? Will we find
Speaker 1: ourselves in a situation where fabrication is exposed against Sewan
Speaker 1: Dinnycomb's Will we hear that there was no offer nor
Speaker 1: a payment of one hundred thousand dollars? What will we hear?
Speaker 1: What will we see? Will we learn there were no drugs?
Speaker 1: Will we learn there were no sex workers? Will we
Speaker 1: learn that all of that oil with an accident or
Speaker 1: with somebody else that's not his? Will we hear that
Speaker 1: the punisher was a lie? Will we hear refutable evidence
Speaker 1: that Cassie Ventura was never exposed to urine nation on
Speaker 1: or in her? What's the chances of that? So there's
Speaker 1: a lot of evidence out there we don't know. I'm
Speaker 1: not here. I have not tried to convict Diddy Combs
Speaker 1: in any way shape form of possible. I've brought on
Speaker 1: people who are covering the trial. I've articulated what the
Speaker 1: specific charges are, how viable, how plausible, how palatable they are.
Speaker 1: That is what I have done. I don't know what's happened.
Speaker 1: I don't have any clue of his innocence or guilt.
Speaker 1: The only thing that I have condemned him for was
Speaker 1: that video where he was beating living hell out of
Speaker 1: Cassie Ventor Because they ain't no getting around that, he
Speaker 1: himself condemned his own actions. So that is what it is,
Speaker 1: and that's how we got to look at it.
