2
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:09,640
Speaker 1: a grand jury indicted him. The arrest follows Homeland Securities

3
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:12,879
Speaker 1: raids on his homes in late March, triggered by a

4
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: wave of sexual abuse lawsuits against him. According to Yahoo

00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,680

00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:24,319
Speaker 1: former girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, filed an explosive sex trafficking and

7
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:28,600

10
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 1: from sex trafficking to sexual assault. Ditty's lawyer released a

11
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 1: statement saying, quote, we are disappointed with the decision to

12
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 1: pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of mister

13
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 1: Colmbs by the US Attorney's office. There you go, so

Speaker 1: he was in Manhattan.

15
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, damn yes.

16
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: So the grand jury felt there was enough evidence, yeah,

17
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: to take him to trial and all that.

18
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 2: Stop saying that.

19
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,720

Speaker 1: In other entertainment news, Elon Musk received a wave of

41
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: backlash last night over a dangerous post he put on

42
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 1: He posted on x formerly Twitter about the attempted assassination

43
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 1: of Donald Trump, the billionaire owner of the social media

44
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: site was responding to a user who posted quote why

45
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: they want to kill Donald Trump? Elon Musk replied, no

46
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 1: one is even trying to assassinate violin slash Kamala. His

47

Speaker 1: post was viewed over thirty four million times and received

48
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty one thousand likes before he ultimately

49
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: deleted it overnight. I know, but thousands of users commented

50
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 1: on the dangerous nature of the post, urging the FBI

51
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: and the Secret Service to investigate Musk as a threat

52
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: to national security, as they should. The White House has

53
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: responded to Elon Musks now deleted posts, saying, quote, as

54
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 1: President Biden and Vice President Harris said after yesterday's disturbing news,

55
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 1: there is no place for a political violence or any

56
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: violence ever in our country and will we all must

57
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: do our part to ensure that this incident does not

58
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: lead to more violence. Violence should only be condemned, never

59
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 1: encouraged or joked about. This rhetoric is irresponsible.

60
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you know it's always they just you know,

61
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 3: and Donald Trump tried to flip it, talking about their

62
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 3: causingness inflammatory remarks. No man, y yo side, that's dvance

63
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 3: all y'all. Elon Musk, you know, that's why. You know,

64
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 3: when Grant Cardon posted that thing about four former Democrats

65
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 3: that are now Republican, it was Grant Cardon, Donald Trump,

66
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 3: Elon Musk, and and somebody else.

67
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 2: But to put your picture that's the four people.

68
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 3: They're not an example of anything I've ever wanted to be,

69
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 3: none of them. I don't care how much money Elon

70
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 3: Musk got. I don't see what he stands for. It's

71
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 3: not your money that makes you a great man.

00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 2: Hmm.

73
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 3: It's your greatness that makes you a great man. And

74
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 3: your greatness is never determined by yourself, it is determined

75
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 3: by other people people. Yeah, yeah, man, it's not what

76
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 3: you say about You can say whatever you want to

77
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,480
