00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: the scenes of the Grind and checking in with you guys.

8
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: We have officially started our holiday break from the Breakfast Club,

9
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: so you guys are still going to be seeing content

10
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 1: and all the good things, but we are on this break.

11
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: I've been telling you guys how excited I was because

12
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:47,200
Speaker 1: I've never worked a job corporate, business wise, or especially

13
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:51,200
Speaker 1: entertainment where you know, you you actually get to enjoy

14
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: the full break, the full week off there. I've never, ever,

15
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: ever in my life worked a job like that, so

16
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: it is very, very refreshing. We just have the time,

17
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 1: although we are still working, and we'll get into that

18
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: in the latest because literally right now as we speak,

19
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: the jury in Sean comb Sean Diddy Combs's case is

20
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 1: being briefed on how they are to go about their

21
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 1: deliberations when they're about to make a decision for whether

22
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: Diddy will be found guilty or not guilty and what

23
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: he will be found guilty and not guilty of. So

24
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: work is never ending, never stopping for us here at

25
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: the Latest with Lon La Rosa. But it is very

26
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: refreshing to be able to wake up around you know,

27
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 1: seven to eight o'clock versus three four o'clock. So if

28
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: I'm checking in behind the scenes of the Grind, if

29
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: y'all can't tell or hear it in my voice, it's refreshed,

30
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: you know. Again, as I was mentioning, as we're now

31
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: going on into the Latest, because everywhere I go. I

32
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: was out this weekend celebrating a friend's birthday, and a

33
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: lot of people, even people who are not entertainment like enthusiasts,

34
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: right like not people who sit and watch blogs and

35
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: dot coms and entertainment news shows and nightly shows and

36
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 1: all these things all the time, are very interested in

37
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: what is about to happen in the case of showing

38
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: ditty combs. Again, We've discussed it openly here about you know,

39
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 1: there being such a tug award for some people because

40
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: you know, people feel like he is on trial right

41
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 1: now for what should be domestic violence, but instead he

42
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:35,519
Speaker 1: is facing a federal you know, case for sex trafficking

43
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: and you know other things that I really feel like

44
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:43,239
Speaker 1: people do not really understand the charges. I think people

45
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: don't understand the prosecutor's case. But I do think in

46
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 1: being there and seeing how the prosecutors laid it out,

47
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 1: I understand exactly what their case is. And I don't

48
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,839
Speaker 1: believe that Diddy is going to walk from this now.

49
00:02:57,880 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: I do believe that, you know, some of the things

50
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: that they have presented are not as strong as others,

51
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: which is why we saw earlier in the week. Last

52
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: week the government begin to step away from some theories

53
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 1: because they wanted to make sure that what they were

54
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 1: leaning in on was the strongest things that they had.

55
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: So they wanted to get away from attempted anything because

56
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 1: when you talk about attempt you didn't have to go

57
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 1: into a tent intention. And Diddy's team for the longest

58
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 1: was arguing that the intention like did that the government

59
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: did not do a good job at proving that a

60
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: lot of these acts and these things that they are

61
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: claiming Diddy knowingly conspired with other people to do them.

62
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: Intentionally to commit a crime. So there's been a really

63
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: big conversation about what is gonna happen. I did NBC

64
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: last Friday, NBC for New York and you guys can

65
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: check that out on the NBSC for New York's YouTube channel.

66
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: It is also on Peacock. We do a series called

67
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: The Case, which is all about Sean Ditty Coombs's case,

68
00:03:58,240 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: and you know, we just do a breakdown for the

69
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: week and on and that's every Friday thing until the

70
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: case is over. So this will be one of my

71
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: last weeks doing it because there will potentially be a

72
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: verdict this week. That is what's predicted. But one of

73
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: the biggest things that they, you know, came out the

74
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: gate swinging with on that show was what is everyone

75
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 1: asking you right now? And when I go back to

76
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: the weekend, I just had everyone wants to know what

77
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 1: is about to happen? What do you think is going

78
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,679
Speaker 1: to happen? So let's get on into the latest, because

79
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: you know, I love taking y'all to court. Let us

80
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: take it is June thirtieth as we are speaking right now.

81
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: The jury is being briefed by the judge in this case.

82
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 1: And what that looks like is he's going through every count.

83
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: He's going through everything that has been alleged of Diddy.

84
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,559
Speaker 1: We're going to actually go through the charges because again,

85
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: I think at this point, because the stories and the

86
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 1: testimonies have become so big, people forget the the actual charges.

87
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: So Diddy is facing several federal charges. He's facing a

88
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: racket tearing conspiracy. So prosecutors are basically saying that they're

89
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: alleging that Diddy got together and used his businesses to

90
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 1: function as like a criminal enterprise to engage in various

91
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 1: sexual acts like sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, and a

92
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: few other things. He's also facing a charge for sex

93
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 1: trafficking by force, fraud, ack ortion, and then he's also

94
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: facing a charge for allegedly transporting to engage in prostitution. Now,

95
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: it's important to note that he has pled not guilty

96
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: all of this time. Even when his team did their

97
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: whole request and asked for Rule twenty nine, which was

98
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,359
Speaker 1: a dismissal of the charges because they feel like the

99
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 1: government did not do their job approving beyond the shadow

100
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: of a doubt that these things happened. They still in

101
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: that request in the courtroom in front of the judge,

102
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: not and from the jury, but in front of the judge,

103
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: said that Diddy was just targeted by the government, that

104
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: all of this, none of this happened, This was all targeting.

105
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: This is just a man living his life and doing

106
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: what he does sexually. And even the drugs were personal use.

107
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: Like they went through a ton of things. But that

108
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,559
Speaker 1: last day on Friday that I was just in court

109
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 1: prior to the during instruction, I think in the closing

110
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 1: arguments number one, the closing arguments were a show. Okay.

111
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: The closing arguments were when I tell y'all, they put

112
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 1: on a show. They cut up in there. You know,

113
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: you be out a show, neighbor, like you better go off,

114
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: you cutting up in here. It was literally given that.

115
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: So Mark Agnefilio, who was Diddy's lead defense attorney, baby,

116
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: when I tell you he was reading those he was

117
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: reading the girls for filth okay all, and it put

118
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: a bad taste in a lot of you know, I

119
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 1: was in one of the overflow rooms. It put a

120
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: bad taste in the mouth of a lot of the

121
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: people watching. So I you know, again the jury are

122
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 1: regular people as well too, So I don't know how

123
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: they're interpreting it. But if I'm just talking from just

124
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: you know, people who are actually there and hearing it,

125
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: people were like, what the hell is going on right now? Uh?

126
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: He did everything but called them women. Uh, the women

127
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: that decided to testify against Diddy. He did everything but

128
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: called them a child of God. In his closing arguments,

129
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: he made it very clear that they felt like these

130
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 1: women were there because of their own personal gain. Uh.

131
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: He made it very clear that, you know, Diddy and

132
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: his team felt like these women wanted what happened to them,

133
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: wanted these various sexual encounters. They made it very clear

134
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: that the government was again they used the word targeting.

135
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: He and Mark Agnifilio did. He's attorney actually got in

136
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: trouble for this because he said that the government was

137
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: targeting Sean Combs. And what he did was Mark Agnofilio

138
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: laid out a bunch of missteps or what he called

139
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: missteps in the procuring of evidence by that the prosecution presented.

140
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: So he went back to the Homeland Security investigators their

141
00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: raid on Ditty's homes, right, and while they they were

142
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: cross examining those investigators who actually, you know, executed the

143
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: warrants at the homes in Miami, in LA and then

144
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: also in Ddy's hotel room here in New York right

145
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: before he was arrested. There were a few things that

146
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: they pointed out that even when it was happening on

147
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: the stand, I was in the actual courtroom for these testimonies.

148
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: I was like, wait, how y'all mess up on that?

149
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: So Mark Agnofilio pointed out the fact that that prosecutors

150
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: put witness on the stand from Homeland Security investigator from

151
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: Homeland Security. Mark Anifilio pointed out that did he that

152
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: the government put investigators from Homeland Security on the stand

153
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: who testify that there were guns that they included in

154
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 1: their evidence. They didn't even have recorded where they pulled

155
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: the guns from. There was, you know, various things in

156
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: their warrant that they you know, documented that they received,

157
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: but they couldn't even tell you where it was from.

158
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 1: They didn't even picture it in the actual place before

159
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: it was moved or taken or put around. And those

160
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: small little things like that matter because the depending on

161
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: where you find it at, you know, you're trying to

162
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: if you're trying to point ownership of these drugs and

163
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 1: these guns and the money and these different things that

164
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 1: you guys are finding depending on where you find it at.

165
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: You know, Diddy's team can argue, how do you even

166
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 1: know that that is his? Like, for instance, a lot

167
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 1: of the guns that they're having conversations about were found

168
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,679
Speaker 1: in a security house, but there was a lot of

169
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 1: back and forth about where they were found and how

170
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: they were found. Were they locked up, were they not

171
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: locked up? And you couldn't indefinitely answer that because some

172
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: of the agents were saying on the stand that they

173
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: they couldn't tell you where they were originally found because

174
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: where they were pictured and where they were document was

175
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: not where they were found. So things like that, And

176
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: then they pointed out a lot of inconsistencies in you know,

177
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: just different testimonies from various people that took the stand,

178
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: Don Rochard, Cassie, Jane Though and Mia, and their whole

179
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: point was you're supposed to be able to trust the government,

180
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: but you can't and here's why. And then they broke

181
00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,119
Speaker 1: down all those things. And I thought that this was

182
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 1: a very it was it was very subtle, but I

183
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,680
Speaker 1: was like, I see the point that they're driving here,

184
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: and if the jury really believes this narrative, they're doing

185
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 1: well at continuing to paint it. So after saying that

186
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: did he was targeted by the government, after showing all

187
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 1: these different missteps in evidence, according to Diddy's team, Right,

188
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 1: Diddy's attorney Mark Agnofilio then comes in and he says,

189
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: and then when they talk to you about the guns,

190
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 1: they make it they talk to you about this angry

191
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: man with these guns, but they can't even provide for

192
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: you correct information on where or how the guns were found.

193
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: And I'm in my mind like, okay, after you tell

194
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: a jury, right that this man is being targeted because

195
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 1: he's a black powerful man by the government and that

196
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,439
Speaker 1: they can't trust the government, and then you paint the

197
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,319
Speaker 1: picture of them painting Didd he as this angry black

198
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: man who has all these guns and all this rage.

199
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: Y'all know what argument he going for. Y'all know where

200
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: he going with this. It's very much given, y'all Just

201
00:10:58,400 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 1: do y'all. This is a takedown of the black man,

202
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 1: and you're trying to make him out to be this angry,

203
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 1: overly aggressive black man. Now here's a thing though, It's

204
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: like it's hard to use that to his defense because

205
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: you do have that Cassi tape, which the government has

206
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 1: shown over and over and over again in this case.

207
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 1: But Agniphilia got in a lot of trouble for that

208
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: because the prosecution stood up to strike all of that conversation,

209
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 1: and by striking it, they basically want the judge to

210
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: come in and tell the jury you can't consider that

211
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 1: when you make your decision, because before this trial started

212
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: there was a conversation about that whole the government is

213
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: not trustworth and they're just trying to take down a

214
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: black man narrative. And it was ruled then that that

215
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: wasn't allowed to enter into court unless there was substantial

216
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 1: evidence that showed that. Mark Agnifilio argued that the missteps

217
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: in the prosecutor's evidence that they presented, some of what

218
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: I just mentioned to you guys was exactly that. But

219
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,680
Speaker 1: the judge ultimately, and he did a good job because

220
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 1: he allowed you know, Mark in Afilio to present his

221
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 1: side for Diddy, He allowed the government to get their

222
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,679
Speaker 1: side out. He took some time to actually consider it,

223
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: like we literally sat in silence for a good five

224
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: to ten minutes as he thought it through. Then when

225
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: he came back and then he took a little second.

226
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 1: Then we came back and he said he basically told

227
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: Mark Agnefilio, you know you weren't supposed to do that.

228
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: That was ruled before this even started. So I'm not

229
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: going to allow that. So now I have to reinstruct

230
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: the jury. And that's what he did. When the jury

231
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: was brought back in. He told the jury, first thing,

232
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: you are not allowed to consider that. That should not

233
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: have been said to you. But here's my thing, and

234
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: here's what I'm learning about watching this in real time.

235
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: It's different when you reported on the case and you're

236
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 1: not in the courtroom. But being in the courtroom, it's like,

237
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 1: even if you strike that right from like wherever it's

238
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 1: written down in the court records that are supposed to

239
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: be stricken, you tell the jury that there's still human beings.

240
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: They heard it. The narrative is now planted in their

241
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 1: mind if they want to believe it. So I already

242
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: know that Diddy's team, you threw that shot up on

243
00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: the board, and you didn't care about whether it landed

244
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 1: or not. He didn't care about getting in trouble because

245
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: once it's out there, it's out there. The government did

246
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 1: a good job, though everyboddle to the defensive closing arguments

247
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: by bringing Kony on. Comy is the lead prosecutor in

248
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 1: this case, and she is amazing at closing argument. She

249
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 1: didn't lead the closing arguments for the government the whole time,

250
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 1: know and a lot of people were trying to figure

251
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 1: out why because she's notoriously known for being really good

252
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: at closing arguments. But when she came up, she did

253
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: exactly what she needed to do. She had the durors laughing.

254
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 1: A lot of things that she brought up was very

255
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: like common sense. Like listen, they want to tell you

256
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: that these women wanted what happened to them. Do you

257
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: think a woman wants to be peed on by an escort?

258
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: Do you think a woman wants to continue to have

259
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: sex with a uti and being pain over and over

260
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: and over again for hours. Do you think a woman

261
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: wants to have her financial stability hung over her head

262
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 1: to be beaten like the way she made it? So okay,

263
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: they're saying all this, but if we just use our

264
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 1: common sense here, what do y'all think? And she was

265
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 1: very good at because these closing arguments in this whole case,

266
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: it gets long, it gets drawn out, and that's where

267
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: I think a lot of the confusion comes in, in

268
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: my opinion, will come in for the jury because it's

269
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: so much the government gives you so much information and

270
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: so much testimony, and then you got to like streamline

271
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: it at the end, and it's confusing. The letter about

272
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 1: streamlining confused the world. People thought that Diddy had charges

273
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: drop that he didn't. That was just the government making

274
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: it clear, Okay, we've given you one hundred things, and

275
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: now we're streamlining it and we're focusing on a strong

276
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: four to five because this is what we need to

277
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: make you understand exactly why we're here. But she did

278
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 1: a really good job of taking you know, the full

279
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: defense closing argument, and focusing on several key things and

280
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: bringing them like when she landed the like she made

281
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 1: it so matter of fact. So if we just use

282
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: our common sense, we don't got to use all the

283
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 1: court jargon, all the legalese terms. Let's just use our

284
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: common sense as people here. And she used words like

285
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: laughable and the jury was laughing. There were certain things

286
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: that have Oh my god, y'all, she said, let me

287
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: tell y'all, lowriders, listen, y'all know I love talking to

288
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 1: you guys because I can talk to you guys like

289
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 1: I'm talking to my friends, because y'all know we have

290
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 1: a community here. So look, Comy says while she's in rebuttal,

291
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: she says, look, they want to make it seem like,

292
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 1: you know, this man didn't walk around with guns and

293
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: he's a because they actually said Diddy's team said in

294
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: their closing arguments, he's a hands to fist kind of guy.

295
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: He's not walking around with guns. He has security for that.

296
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: She said, Yeah, he's a hands to fist kind of guy,

297
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: but only with the women in his life. When I

298
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: tell y'all, all of us were like, ooh, clocked it.

299
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 1: Like she did an amazing job. She brought it home.

300
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: So right now, the judge, it's been happening for hours.

301
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: It's been happening for about three hours of the judge

302
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: going through all of the here's the rules, here's exactly

303
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 1: what he's been charged with, here's exactly what you need

304
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: to consider, here's your instruction, and here's this here's how

305
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: this is going to go. So at this point, we

306
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: are officially on we're on verdict watch. So what I

307
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: plan to do is is just be in the area

308
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: of the courthouse this week until that verdict comes in.

309
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 1: I will be in and out of the courthouse because

310
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: a lot of it you're just sitting there. But I

311
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: do want to be in the area just in case

312
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 1: the verdict comes down. I'm able to get there easily,

313
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: getting in that the courtroom, like the actual courtroom itself,

314
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 1: this week is going to be so challenging because people

315
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: are literally lining up the night before and I ain't

316
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 1: sleeping outside of no courthouse not happening. Uh uh, that

317
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: do not go on my outfit. But I will bring

318
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 1: you guys as much as I can. But all of

319
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 1: this conversation and all the hype around this, and the

320
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 1: fluctuating of people care, and you know, at one point

321
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 1: courthouse is packed, and then the next week no one's

322
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: even there, and then the next like if you've been

323
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: there every day and every week, I've really been able

324
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: to see how people only care about certain things at

325
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 1: certain points. And it's made me think, after this ruling

326
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,199
Speaker 1: comes down, right, no matter whether Diddy is going to

327
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: walk free, which again I don't believe will happen, or

328
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: if he will be spending time in jail, what does

329
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 1: this look like now? Like, what's next? Is this the

330
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 1: end of Diddy's like media storm? Do people care after this?

331
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: I really want to know what you guys think, because

332
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,920
Speaker 1: I was thinking about it right like, this is ending

333
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 1: for him, right court is about to end for Diddy.

334
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: He will get the verdict and we will have to

335
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,719
Speaker 1: see what happens next. But at the same time, there

336
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:56,439
Speaker 1: are so many other things beginning for other people. The

337
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 1: world is still going on. Jeff Bezos got married this

338
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 1: weekend in Venice and fifty million dollar wedding. Right in

339
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: the world is out here protesting about it, like people

340
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:11,439
Speaker 1: are moving on from things they are right now. People

341
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 1: care because they want to know the verdict. But when

342
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,640
Speaker 1: people move on, what does that look like? And when

343
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 1: I say fifty million dollars for Jeff Bezos, I mean

344
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 1: fifty million dollar wedding for Jeff Bezos. I mean the

345
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 1: people popped out. You had Kim Kardashianior, Chloe Kylie, Chris

346
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 1: Jenner and her boyfriend Corey Gamble, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Brady,

347
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,639
Speaker 1: Orlando Bloom minus Katy Perr because y'all know they're not

348
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 1: together anymore. Ivanka Trump, Like there were so many people

349
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 1: there at one point, it felt like the world was

350
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:45,239
Speaker 1: stopping for this Diddy trial. That doesn't feel like that

351
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:50,399
Speaker 1: anymore at all. People are literally out here protesting this

352
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 1: fifty million dollar wedding. They don't, they're not, they don't.

353
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 1: The free people don't care anymore as much. I want

354
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 1: to know, what do you guys think happens next? Will

355
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,119
Speaker 1: people still stay invested in Sean Diddy Combs and what

356
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 1: happens next for him? Or will they not? We're on

357
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 1: verdict watch. I will keep you guys updated every single day.

358
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be getting some content from outside of the

359
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 1: courthouse as well too, and you know, just getting out

360
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 1: there on the streets and seeing how people feel and

361
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: what they're caring about if they didn't care anymore at
