In this episode, we talk about a case that happened in Miami, Florida in the late 90's and early 00's. It's a case where a group of kids were dropped off at a coffee shop and they ended up getting into a fight with the police.
00:21:17.620Sunday is normally when I do my true crime, but I'm going to cover the news as well, given the circumstance of how we're, you know, I'm going to be traveling tomorrow.
00:21:24.040It's scheduled to begin on May 5th with jury selection.
00:21:27.600The plan is to bring several hundred prospective jurors into the federal courthouse in lower Manhattan for as many days as it takes to seat a jury of 12 plus four alternates,
00:21:37.680all of whom will swear they can be fair and impartial, even if they've heard of Sean Combs, and really, who hasn't?
00:21:46.020There are no cameras in federal courts anywhere in the United States, and so this trial will not be televised, but we...
00:21:54.520Yeah, this is all federal courts, guys, by the way, which is a big reason why I'm going over there, because with the federal system, they don't record the trials whatsoever.
00:22:02.700That's why every time you see federal courts, like, when they're doing, like, the breakdown of what happened the day of court, it's always, like, with drawings and shit like that.
00:22:09.600So I'm going to be in there reporting for you guys. I'm going to bring my notebook, and I'm going to be cooking.
00:22:14.180And a lot of other reporters will be there covering it, and that's how the public will...
00:22:18.860To include myself, I'll be in there, and I'm going to do a better job than all these motherfuckers. Trust me.
00:22:26.980...evidence against Sean Combs, but we'll be looking for how he reacts to it. We've seen him a lot in court, and he presents fairly upbeat.
00:22:35.380He comes in with a smile on his face, hugs for his lawyers, gestures to members of his family who have sat in court there to support him.
00:27:56.060Now, here's the thing that's a little interesting to me, Chad, right?
00:28:00.120Which also has me a bit confused about Diddy's case.
00:28:04.040Normally, when you get people for racketeering charges, right, and conspiracy, to have a conspiracy, two or more people.
00:28:10.580The fact that no one else has been indicted in this case is extremely fucking strange to me.
00:28:15.220That tells me that the government, pretty much everyone on this team that helped them do this shit, more than likely turned witness, is what I think.
00:28:51.780The reason why they did a RICO, you guys are probably wondering, what the fuck, why did they do a RICO?
00:28:55.360The reason why they did a RICO, guys, is because the RICO is going to allow them to bring basically stuff in that they wouldn't have been able to bring before, okay?
00:29:03.660When you use RICO, guys, the statute of limitations basically goes out the window.
00:29:07.040And the reason why, chat, is because when you use RICO, what you're able to do basically is you're able to establish a pattern of racketeering activity.
00:29:18.000And if you can establish that this activity happened at a certain time and it's still continuing on, what ends up happening is they can bring in crimes that might have been past the statute of limitations, okay?
00:29:31.360This is why when they go after the mafia, they go after these organized crime groups, et cetera, they can use things that happened 10, 20, 30 years ago for RICO because what they're basically saying is,
00:29:42.320hey, this racketeering activity started back then and it's still going on to now.
00:29:47.100So it's a way to get around the statute of limitations, RICO, okay?
00:29:50.400Uh, and we just hit 246,000, um, subscribers, man.
00:33:39.400So it's very important for you guys to realize, right?
00:33:41.920So the argument that the prosecution is going to make, right, is they're going to argue and say that Diddy wielded enormous power, he was extremely influential, and quite frankly, what he said goes.
00:33:55.920And if people, if the women or even the guys in this case, because there was allegations of homosexual encounters as well, basically, if they didn't comply with what he said, there would be serious consequences.
00:34:07.800So they're going to make the argument that uses power and influence and control to basically put these people in positions where, quite frankly, they couldn't refuse, right?
00:34:17.200Now, what the defense is going to do is they're going to paint these victims as clout-chasing, money-hungry failures that want to basically get some attention and get some clout, maybe revive their career or whatever.
00:34:33.420That's what they're going to say, that they had intentions or maybe they want to exert some type of revenge because their career didn't go the way that they wanted.
00:34:43.860Basically, it sounds a lot like orgies.
00:34:48.460Women, according to federal prosecutors, were put into these things.
00:34:52.980The rooms were stocked with baby oil and other supplies.
00:34:57.960There were cleanup crews in the end, IVs to help restore people physically after what they were made to do.
00:35:07.560And also, there's allegations as well.
00:35:14.660The other thing also that's very important, guys, is that these things were like drug-fueled, alcohol-fueled, crazy sex parties.
00:35:24.720And what he would do is he would get like strippers and girls and male prostitutes, and they would just do this stuff, and they would record it.
00:35:32.780So what I think is some of this stuff is absolutely going to be shown in court.
00:35:37.560It's going to absolutely be shown in court.
00:35:38.920And the reason why IVs is because, guys, when you do IVs, you're able to quickly recover from drinking alcohol.
00:35:45.700A lot of people would take IVs after a night of drinking.
00:36:14.860You know, this is a guy that, you know, yes, he might be involved in a situation where he's having, you know, questionable affairs or whatever.
00:36:22.780But at the end of the day, everyone's a consenting adult.
00:36:26.120You know, they knew what they were getting into, blah, blah, blah.
00:36:28.920That's what the defense is going to allege.
00:36:30.340And what's depicted in videos or said by witnesses or alleged victims isn't crime.
00:37:21.040I've been telling you guys this for, what, over a year now.
00:37:23.180I think that she's going to be the government's star witness.
00:37:26.500I think she is the one that presented a majority of the facts that probably established the probable cause that was used to search his homes.
00:37:34.340Because, remember, she used to be married to him, so she had insider information on what he kept at the houses, who kept the place, where they were kept, how they were kept, what was to be kept.
00:37:45.180So I'm sure that she got with the feds and gave them quite a bit of information to be able to get the probable cause to get into a home.
00:37:53.280Because the reality is, when you're doing a search warrant to get into someone's house, you need quite a bit of evidence, guys.
00:37:58.600I've read search warrants on this stream before and shown you guys, like, the ridiculous amount of detail that's required to get in, which, actually, I would love to read the search warrant affidavit that was utilized to get into the homes, which that will probably come out of court.
00:38:15.580Because the search warrants were used to get into the homes.
00:38:19.620Once they get into the homes, they were able to find evidence.
00:38:21.620When they got into the homes and found this evidence, I'm sure a lot of video evidence was found.
00:38:25.040I know they pulled surveillance footage from a lot of the homes.
00:38:27.700I know they seized a gun when they went to one of the homes.
00:38:32.620It was an AR-15, if I'm not mistaken, and the serial number was scratched off on it.
00:38:36.820So, you know, I'm definitely going to be, you know, looking for all this stuff and, you know, trying to see if I can get it for you guys.
00:38:44.580But she absolutely, probably the government's star witness.
00:38:48.320Now, the other thing I want to also know is that, though I think Cassie provided information that probably led to the public cause that was relied upon for the search warrants,
00:38:56.520I will also say that there had to have been people that were in the houses actively that gave information on the homes.
00:39:06.800Because to be able to search someone's house, guys, you need real-time information.
00:39:10.580And when I say real-time information, I'm talking about one to two weeks of the evidence being fresh.
00:39:16.400Okay, now, when you do search warrants, there's something called, like, the PC needs to be fresh.
00:39:22.840Now, typically, when you want to search a home and you're looking for evidence of a crime, whether it's a drug crime or whatever else like that,
00:39:28.660you're going to want somebody that had been in the house that could tell you where the stuff is, and it needs to be at least two weeks fresh, okay?
00:39:34.820So, the fact that they got federal search warrants for these homes on a high-profile figure like this that they know has the ability to challenge these search warrants
00:39:43.300and challenge the evidence tells me that they had someone that was in the house, real-time, giving them active information
00:39:49.960that allowed them to get the probable cause on top of what Cassie gave them, okay?
00:39:54.080So, obviously, this is all going to come out at trial, but something to keep in mind, Chad.
00:40:03.520Hey, man, is there relevant material for EU people in CC?
00:40:06.200WSB is always, fuck any of some bleach.
00:40:42.800She is depicted, along with Sean Combs, in a video that...
00:40:47.240Wait, this is him running after with the fucking towel on.
00:40:50.520The interesting question is, why did they come after Diddy specifically, and why at this time, as if all of the industry aren't some pedos?
00:41:51.160My behavior on that video is inexcusable.
00:41:54.300Combs and his legal team have a different view of how we should read that video.
00:41:59.880Now, what they're going to argue when it comes to that video on Cassie, guys, is they're going to say that they had an abusive relationship, okay?
00:44:16.200So I predict not only is this team going to say that they beat each other, we know that's going to happen, but they're going to probably present evidence to show that Cassie hits him, too.
00:45:40.600They don't know how the court system works and shit like that, so you have to prepare them.
00:45:42.960This is what happens with trial prep, okay?
00:45:44.340This is something a lot of people don't know.
00:45:46.700So you're going to ask questions, get this stuff figured out, blah, right?
00:45:50.040Then what's interesting is going to be the cross-examination because when the cross-examination happens, the defense is going to attack her hard, okay?
00:46:03.500The day that they cross-examine her, I'm going to have to be in there, okay?
00:46:07.580And the reason why this is so important is because she's their star witness.
00:46:10.960If they could destroy her, the rest of the case is more than likely going to falter to a degree.
00:46:17.340Now, what they're going to do is they're going to paint her as an abusive girlfriend, jealous, vindictive, that beats him as well, consented to the sex, and they're going to say that she's promiscuous.
00:46:31.380You're going to paint her as a 304, right?
00:46:34.420And they're going to do this to hurt her credibility.
00:46:37.340And the other thing that's very important, right, is they're going to basically show, hey, you beat on Diddy, too, and you lied to agents.
00:46:45.380The reason why this is important is because they're going to utilize, right, her statements that she gave to agents because best believe they read all the ROIs, okay?
00:46:54.560Because she went and gave interviews with the agents, and she probably described their experiences.
00:46:59.560They're going to poke holes in her story that she gave to agents and say, is it not true that you told agents that you didn't hit Diddy?
00:49:32.360So his defense team is going to do everything in their power to attack the witness's credibility, make them out to be liars, scammers, vindictive, jealous, looking for money.
00:49:43.440And Cassie, they're going to go at the hardest by far.
00:53:39.300But they were supposed to have the jury selection done on Friday.
00:53:44.200Now, mind you, you're being careful because given the enormous amount of publicity that this case is going to get.
00:53:52.300Obviously, the social profile of the defendant and even some of the accusers, right, Cassie, etc., you know, that makes things a bit harder with finding an unbiased jury.
00:54:05.760So, yeah, let's play a little bit of this and then we're going to get into some of the other news.
00:54:10.420He's away from the official start of his trial in federal court on charges that could send him to prison.
00:54:16.220But, yes, the jury selection began last week, Chad.
00:54:19.340For life, accused of running a violent sex trafficking ring massed by decades of celebrity, wealth, and influence.
00:54:25.500Opening statements begin Monday and I'm going to chat with our very own law.
00:54:28.260If we're lucky, opening statements begin Monday.
01:30:06.580Welcome back here on Live Now from Fox 929 on the East Coast and 629 on the West Coast.
01:30:13.740Viewer discretion is advised for this next story as the final stage of jury selection for the sex trafficking trial of Sean Diddy Combs has been postponed with opening arguments still slated for this coming week.
01:30:27.660Prosecutors alleged the music mogul coerced and abused women for years with help from a network of associates and employees while silencing victims through blackmail, kidnapping, arson and beatings.
01:30:41.260They accused Diddy of using his quote, power and prestige to force female victims into drugged up, elaborately produced sexual performances with male sex workers in events that were dubbed freak offs.
01:30:54.740Diddy's attorneys are expected to argue that the government is demonizing and distorting the sexual activity of consenting adults.
01:31:03.460Jury selection did begin last Monday with a federal judge ruling Friday on the postponement of the final phase of selecting that jury again expected to resume tomorrow.
01:31:14.520Andrea Lewis is a former felony prosecutor and civil attorney who does handle sex crimes cases.
01:31:20.780She joins us now live to break all of this down.
01:31:24.340Thank you so much, as always, for taking the time to be here with us.
01:31:42.220We're talking about do they finish picking the jury on Friday as opposed to Monday?
01:31:45.600The reasons the judge cited for doing that was that he was afraid that if certain jurors were selected, that they may get cold feet over the weekend and have second thoughts and say, you know, maybe this isn't the trial for me.
01:32:15.600So breaking, India claims Pakistan violated ceasefire tensions flare, which is the ceasefire that basically the Trump administration brokered.
01:32:43.180Yeah, the news of this ceasefire agreement from this morning was welcome news by residents on both sides.
01:32:49.520But as night fell, well, India has already accused Pakistan of violating it.
01:32:54.940Take a look at some of these images we're seeing.
01:32:56.740The Indian foreign secretaries said there have been repeated violations of the deal of those on the ground.
01:33:03.020Report hearing explosions and seeing flashing lights in the night sky.
01:33:07.080You can just about make them out there.
01:33:08.900Their armed forces have been told to deal strongly with the violations.
01:33:12.640Meanwhile, Pakistan's information minister denied any violations.
01:33:16.700Initially, President Donald Trump announced the deal earlier on Truth Social, saying in part, quote,
01:33:21.860after a long night of talks mediated by the United States, I'm pleased to announce that India and Pakistan have agreed to a full and immediate ceasefire.
01:33:39.000Congratulations to both countries on using common sense and great intelligence.
01:33:42.920On X, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio wrote that he and Vice President J.D. Vance had been working for over 48 hours to get this done,
01:33:51.180saying the two countries will now start talks on a broad set of issues at a neutral site.
01:33:56.340Pakistan's prime minister thanked President Trump on X as well for his leadership,
01:33:59.980saying Pakistan believes this marks a new beginning in the resolution of issues that have plagued the region.
01:34:05.920By the way, guys, if you guys like politics, you guys should all be on fucking X, by the way.
01:34:09.540I'm actually going to follow this guy right here so I can keep up with stuff.
01:34:13.880X is where it's at when it comes to politics, guys.
01:34:20.840On Wednesday, India carried out strikes on what it said was terrorist infrastructure in Pakistani Kashmir and Pakistan,
01:34:26.960two weeks after 26 people were killed in an attack on Hindu tourists in Indian Kashmir.
01:34:33.180Now, locals along the border today were initially elated to hear the news of this ceasefire and coming out with signs like that.
01:34:43.940We found out via social media, via Donald Trump's tweet.
01:35:34.200Celebrations across Islamabad Saturday following the news of the immediate ceasefire deal between India and Pakistan.
01:35:40.720President Donald Trump crediting the pause in military confrontation to a long night of talks mediated by the U.S.
01:35:49.680Writing in part on Truth Social, quote, congratulations to both countries on using common sense and great intelligence.
01:35:57.560It was agreed between them that both sides would stop all firing and military action on land and in the air and sea.
01:36:09.860Now, it's interesting because both countries are running around saying that they beat the other one, which is also very funny and interesting as well.
01:36:15.380And by the way, guys, we got only 1,300 likes, but we got 2,800 almost of you guys in here just on YouTube alone.
01:36:21.940Then we got another 1,300 or so like that on Rumble.
01:36:24.740So, we got like, what, 4,000 plus of you guys in here roughly.
01:39:00.380India and Pakistan have seemingly pulled back from the brink again, but so much was new about the nuclear-armed enemy's chaotic four-day clash,
01:39:07.000and so many of the underlying accelerants remain volatile that there's a little to suggest that the truce represents any return to old patterns of restraint.
01:39:14.140A new generation of military technology fueled the dizzying aerial escalation.
01:39:18.620Waves of airstrikes and anti-aircraft volleys with modern weapons set the stage.
01:39:22.860Soon, they were joined by weaponized drones en masse for the first time both along the two countries' extensive boundaries and deep into their territory,
01:39:31.140hundreds of them in the sky probing each nation's defenses and striking without risk to any pilot.
01:39:36.500Then, the missiles and drones were streaking past the border areas and deep into India's and Pakistan's territories,
01:39:42.740directly hitting air and defense bases, prompting dire threats and the highest level of military alert.
01:39:47.080Only then did international diplomacy, a crucial factor in past pullbacks between India and Pakistan,
01:39:53.860seem to engage in earnest at what felt like the last minute before catastrophe.
01:40:00.120In a new global chapter defined by perilous conflicts, distracted leaders,
01:40:03.580and a retracting sense of international responsibility to keep peace, the safety net had never seemed thinner.
01:40:08.880Going back historically, many of the India-Pakistan conflicts have been stopped because of external intervention,
01:40:15.760said Srinath Raghavan, a military historian and strategic analyst.
01:40:20.200You can see here, look, you can see all the fucking things in the sky.
01:40:24.560Mr. Raghavan observed that neither country has a significant military industrial base
01:40:29.140and the need to rely on weapons sales from abroad means outside pressure can have an effect.
01:40:34.140As you guys know, they buy their weapons from us and from Russia and China.
01:40:37.340But the positions of both sides appeared more extreme this time in India,
01:40:40.720in particular seem to want to see if it could achieve an outcome different than in previous conflicts.
01:40:45.060I think there's a stronger sort of determination, it seems, on the part of the Indian government
01:40:48.080to sort of make sure that the Pakistanis do not feel that they can just get away or get even, he said,
01:40:53.240which definitely is part of the escalatory thing.
01:40:55.520Both sides seem to feel they cannot let this thing end with the other side feeling that they have somehow got the upper hand.
01:41:02.200The political realities in India and Pakistan each gripped by an entrenched religious nationalism
01:44:52.160Witnesses say that the mayor was arrested after he tried to join a tour of the facility
01:44:56.380with three Democratic members of New Jersey's congressional delegation today.
01:45:00.880There was yelling and pushing after federal officials were blocking his entry.
01:45:04.660The mayor, who was running for governor, was arrested after he had returned to the public side of the gates.
01:45:11.020In a statement that came after that arrest, the Department of Homeland Security said that the lawmakers had not asked for a tour of the facility
01:45:17.160and that as a bus-carrying detainees was entering, quote,
01:45:20.700a group of protesters, including two House members, stormed the gate and broke into the detention facility.
01:45:28.940And Mayor Ross Baraka was just released from custody.
01:45:32.020I'm surprised that he actually did an interview right after getting arrested, Chad.
01:45:35.200And real quick before he gives this interview, here's the case against him, guys.
01:45:39.200So he basically got hit with a trespassing case, right?
01:47:44.640So here's the document right here, guys.
01:47:50.300You guys should be able to see this nice and clear.
01:47:52.300Look, I, Ricky J. Patel, being duly sworn, state the following is true and correct to the best of my knowledge and beliefs the attachment.
01:47:56.880Nay, I further state that I'm a special agent in charge with the United States Department of Homeland Security, Homeland Security Investigations,
01:48:02.360and that this complaint is based on the following facts.
01:48:07.960To have a SAC, be the affian is fucking crazy, bro.
01:48:11.400So, but yeah, look, look how short the complaint, look, attachment A, honor about May 9th in Essex County and the District of New Jersey within or upon land reserved and acquired for use of the United States and under the jurisdiction of the United States' defendant,
01:48:23.280Raz Baraka, dead knowing that he was not licensed or privileged to do so, enter and remain in a place as to which notice against trespass was given.
01:48:30.360And then bam, invalidation title 18, session code 13, and then NJSA, and then that's the state code right here, right?
01:48:37.540So here's the attachment, here's the affidavit, right?
01:48:39.920I, Ricky J. Patel, and the special agent in charge of the New York Division of the Department of Homeland Security, Homeland Security Investigations, HSI.
01:48:46.760The information contained in the complaint is based upon my personal knowledge as well as information obtained from other sources,
01:48:51.100including statements made or reported by various witnesses with knowledge of relevant facts and my review of evidence.
01:48:56.560Because this complaint is being submitted for a limited purpose, I have now set forth every fact that I know concerning this investigation.
01:49:02.240Where the contents of the documents and actions and statements of others are reported, they are reported in substance and in part, except where otherwise indicated.
01:49:09.980Where I assert that an event took place on a particular date, I am asserting that it took place on or about the date alleged.
01:49:15.580On or about May 9th, 2025, Ross Brock arrived at the Delaney Hall Facility in Newark, New Jersey.
01:49:19.520The Delaney Hall Facility currently operates as a federal immigration facility pursuant to a contract between GEO Group, Inc.
01:49:27.160GEO normally has immigration ICE contracts.
01:49:31.180The entity that owns the Delaney Hall Facility and U.S. Immigration Councils Enforcement, ICE.
01:49:35.280As a result of this contract, the Delaney Hall Facility has been acquired for use of the United States and under the jurisdiction of the United States.
01:49:41.120The Delaney Hall Facility is surrounded by chain link fences and is accessible only through granted access.
01:49:46.260In addition to maintaining security, it likewise displays no trespass signage.
01:49:51.000On or about May 19th, notwithstanding the above, Ross Brock was unlawfully entered and remained in the Delaney Hall Facility.
01:50:18.220Can you just describe what has been happening over the last few hours while you were being held?
01:50:26.440Well, I mean, I just want to first say that the guys from Homeland Security were very respectful.
01:50:33.140They treated me with dignity, and I appreciate that, you know, while I spent my last few hours in the holding area inside of the, I believe it was the detention facility that they have here in the city of Newark, you know, that Homeland Security has.
01:53:12.560They targeted me and came after me specifically and arrested me.
01:53:18.160Alina Haba, who, just for people who may not be familiar, she's President Trump's former attorney.
01:53:23.560She is now the interim U.S. attorney in New Jersey, in your state.
01:53:27.700The way she puts what happened today is she is accusing you of ignoring multiple warrants from Homeland Security investigations to remove...
01:53:34.660Hold on, we're going to read this in a second.
01:54:10.620Remove yourself and says that you chose to, quote, disregard the law.
01:54:20.100Is-is that true? Had there been warnings? What-what had happened?
01:54:23.940Well, absolutely not. I mean, I mean, we could-we could...
01:54:30.500The reality is Alina Haber wasn't there. The U.S. Attorney wasn't there. She doesn't know what happened.
01:54:35.460Uh, clearly that is not the context of what happened. I was there for over an hour in that space, and nobody ever told me to move.
01:54:44.020I was in there for over an hour. Not a single person. Not an officer from ICE. Uh, not any of the security guards.
01:54:50.580Nobody told me to leave that place. Uh, somebody from Homeland Security came in the end, uh, and began to escalate the situation, and we wound up being where we are today.
01:55:01.660Uh, and that's, frankly, the extent of it. I didn't go there to break any laws. I didn't break any laws. Uh, I was there as the mayor of...
01:55:09.020Well, technically, he did, but that's fine.
01:55:11.000Um, With Go says, I bet this mayor was off for prosecution for January 6th. People probably...
01:55:16.240Zelensky probably got told that Germany, UK, Poland are all not going to keep support of Ukraine very long, so he's ready for peace talks.
01:55:21.580Of course, bro. Us, too. Everybody's tired of paying this shit.
01:55:25.700Uh, my G on Space with Solomon, who has said, uh, Israel is friends with India. All those accusations from India do not know all history.
01:55:32.840Smells of them boys for a fucking mile. Okay.
01:55:57.520Emorphous says, Myron Gaines, despite attacking and possibly discrediting Jesse Ventura, didn't you say that when the feds bring up a case, they have 90% plus conviction rate?
01:56:04.900Absolutely. But remember, he has an all-star team, man.
01:56:10.900Of the city exercising my right and duty as an elected official, uh, you know, supporting our congresspeople, preparing for a press conference that was supposed to happen there.
01:56:21.780Newark has a lot of illegal aliens chat, by the way. That's why he's doing all this monkey shit right here.
01:56:33.960I did not break any laws, and so all of that is incorrect. So she was not there. So she should get some better information.
01:56:40.560How did it get so heated? I mean, you can watch this playing out, and we see you, and everyone starts shoving, people start yelling.
01:56:48.560Um, what did the Homeland Security official that you said came up, and the first one who tried to arrest you, what was said to you?
01:56:55.560Well, they tried to arrest me. As you can see, well, they tried to arrest me. As you can see, I'm calm. I'm not, uh, doing anything. I'm just walking.
01:57:04.220We got out of the gate. Uh, they, I guess, made a decision to come around the gate after we left to arrest me outside of the gate.
01:57:12.620So, they did that. They arrested me outside of the gate. Uh, you know, I, obviously, protesters and the congresspeople were upset. They tried to intervene. Uh, and so, you know, we, I, I thought it would be, would be better for us to just go ahead with these guys and, and so we not, we not cause further kind of disruption there.
01:57:36.900No, I, I, I was already inside. I didn't have to try to go in.
01:57:40.340Uh, okay. I was there for about over an hour.
01:57:44.360I wonder what you, and you've been in detention, so you've been being held, so obviously you haven't seen any of the coverage. The response from others, including some people inside the administration, is pointing to the fact that you're a Democrat and you're running for governor in your state and accusing you of basically conducting a publicity stunt. And I, I wonder what you would say to them tonight.
01:58:03.000Well, I, I think the publicity stunt is this idea that we should violate the court orders, violate the Constitution of the United States, that we should run roughshod over state and local laws. Uh, the reality in America is that if we're having a dispute, then we settle it in the court.
01:58:21.600We were having, the city of Newark has a dispute with GEO about a certificate of occupancy, about them allowing our inspectors in the buildings, health inspectors and fire inspectors who they've been rejecting every day.
01:58:32.140Uh, every day we go there, we put the thing on the door and we leave. We're in court right now.
01:58:36.220They have a, they, they dispute that. They dispute that they should have an updated certificate of occupancy.
01:58:41.820They haven't had one in 20 years. Uh, we say that they need one because the local law demands that, that they have to get a change of use. They dispute that. And that's their right to dispute it.
01:58:51.880But the person that settles that is a judge in a court of law, not the president of the United States, not the U.S. attorney, uh, not ICE or Homeland Security.
01:59:00.940That is solved, uh, by a judge here, uh, in this state. And they even moved it to federal court, so the judge has to weigh in on this, and a magistrate.
01:59:09.440They can't just take matters into their own hands and do what they want, uh, extra legal action outside of the courts. And that's exactly what's going on here.
01:59:17.200What's your understanding of, of what happens next year? Were there conditions to your release? Uh, what was discussed before you left today?
01:59:27.400Well, I mean, I, I, I obviously was charged with federal trespassing and, you know, uh, uh, which is a classy misdemeanor, but, you know, going through this is, uh, just really humiliating.
01:59:38.540Like I told y'all before, it's a little weird that, that they took a state charge like that and made it federal. But like I said before, it's to send a message.
01:59:45.340And like you said, it'd be humiliating and painful, but the reality is, uh, this is what the, this is what democracy is, right?
01:59:52.640And so, you know, we are in dispute here and we just living in a time period now where if you are opposed to the ideas of people, you could be threatened with arrest or intimidation.
02:00:02.860And that's exactly what's happening. And that's not the America that we want to be in.
02:00:06.220That's not the America that people chose to move thousands of miles from around the world to this is not this place.
02:00:11.700And they're turning it into an authoritarianist government.
02:00:16.040Do you have any regrets about how today happened?
02:00:21.120No, I don't, I don't have any regrets at all. Uh, I, I went down there to support my Congress people, my Congresswoman from my district, uh, Congresswoman Blonnie Watson Coleman as well, uh, who is like a, a mother to us here, uh, and Congressman Menendez, who's also from our district.
02:00:35.720Uh, I went down there to support them in a press conference and I would do it again. I have a right to go to those facilities as the mayor of the city.
02:00:42.260Uh, a fire inspector has a right to be on those facilities. Uh, and it is not federal property. It is in fact private property. Uh, uh, GEO is privately owned.
02:00:51.100Uh, it's a private prison, uh, that these people are getting $63 million to do this work. Uh, and they have to abide by local laws. That's just a fact. I don't care what our political differences is.
02:01:06.980Bro's cooked. All right. Um, well, yeah, that covers that. Um, pretty big deal though, that a governor is getting arrested for being a mayor, the mayor of Newark being a retard.
02:01:18.580Uh, breaking news. White House just announced that the United States has reached a deal, trade deal with China and the Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced a debriefing, a briefing tomorrow on the trade negotiations with China.
02:01:29.320That led to a great deal of the productivity we've seen. Uh, we will be giving details tomorrow. Uh, but I can tell you that the talks were productive. We had the vice premier, two vice ministers who were
02:01:46.420integrally involved ambassador Jameson and myself. And I spoke to president Trump as did ambassador Jameson last night. And he is fully informed of what is going on. So there will be a complete briefing tomorrow morning.
02:02:04.420You think that led to a great deal of the productivity. So we'll see what happens with that. Um, Oh yeah, this is the, uh,
02:02:15.240by the way, if you guys are wondering, I do go live on X. Okay. As you guys can see here, I go live on X guys. Every time I go live, you can find, you go on my Twitter profile,
02:02:29.100I'm iron gains X. Make sure to follow me on here, bro. I'll be cooking. Okay. I'll be cooking on here. Um, and I, you know,
02:02:35.600when I go live, I'll go ahead and I'll pin my, um, tweet at the top here. So you guys go ahead and check
02:02:40.840it out and make sure. So let's go ahead and go over to, uh, updates with Trump and, uh, Netanyahu here, as you guys know, big
02:02:47.360developments when it comes to this disagreement. Obviously I have my, um, doubts, but, uh, let's see what's the latest here.
02:02:55.000For being here. Let's talk about the fact that president Trump's about to set off for his first
02:02:59.660official foreign trip comes as he's grappling. Now this is a big deal. Cause he is going out there
02:03:03.980to the middle East with all of these issues on the world stage. And as you have new reporting
02:03:07.700about potential strains with his relationship with prime minister Netanyahu. Yeah, that's right.
02:03:12.140The president's going to go to Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. And this is a trip
02:03:16.300that's going to focus on the economy. You'll see announcements about investments in the U S trade arms
02:03:20.720deals, those sorts of things. But when it comes, when you step back and look at the broader world stage,
02:03:25.000the president's bigger priorities in terms of ending the war in Ukraine, what's happening in Israel,
02:03:30.760they're kind of stuck. And what we've learned in the president is not going to Israel on this trip
02:03:34.680is that the president and prime minister Netanyahu have had some tensions over the way forward on
02:03:39.480Gaza, on Iran. So while the president will be in the middle East touting all of these that he's
02:03:44.680delivering economically for the American people, he's really struggling more to deliver on these
02:03:49.240bigger challenges. It's going to create such a fascinating backdrop to that trip, Carol.
02:03:53.720Thanks for watching stay updated. So obviously, and then other, uh, rumors came out with like,
02:03:59.960uh, Mike Huckabee having problems or making a statement about, uh, Israel. So he went ahead
02:04:04.200to dispel some of that stuff because, and I'll give some more of this backstory here in a second.
02:04:08.440President Donald Trump will embark on a trip to West Asia, which includes stops in Saudi Arabia,
02:04:13.640Qatar and the UAE. But Trump won't be visiting Israel, leaving many to believe that Trump's
02:04:20.040relationship with Netanyahu may have soured. However, in a spate of interviews to Israeli media,
02:04:25.960U.S. ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee has reaffirmed that the board, the bond between the
02:04:31.160United States president and the Jewish state is as strong as it has ever been. Huckabee said that he
02:04:37.560was sure the president would visit Israel in the coming year. Well, in an interview to Israel's
02:04:43.400Channel 12 news, Huckabee said, Donald Trump loves you. There's no doubt about that. He's got your back.
02:04:50.040Signaling Washington's ironclad supports to Israel, the U.S.
02:04:53.240And just so you guys know, this dude is a hardcore, he's not one of them boys, but he's a hardcore
02:04:57.240fucking Zionist, this guy Mike Huckabee. He might as well be Jewish.
02:05:00.120Sonvoy further added that Trump had spent more time with Benjamin Netanyahu
02:05:04.840than with any other world leader. Trump's West Asia trip comes at a time when the region is
02:05:10.120embroiled in multiple crises, including the war in Gaza, the Houthi rebels in Yemen, Syria's post-Assad
02:05:16.440turmoil, and the stalemate over Iran's nuclear program. Well, experts describe the region as Trump's
02:05:22.520happening. Yeah. And just so you guys understand where a lot of this issues come with, right? So
02:05:26.840Israel, guys, wants a Israel wants a total dismantlement of Iran's nuclear program all the
02:05:34.440way. They want it gone. Nuclear reactors gone. Program gone. Not even for energy. Meanwhile,
02:05:39.640the United States is maybe potentially entertaining them maintaining their nuclear program for energy
02:05:45.480only and not for weapons level, and it would be maintained. But what you
02:05:52.440know, Iran might play with that. But the thing is, is that, you know, then they kind of go back and
02:05:56.920forth. Then the U.S. comes back and says, well, we want you to also disable your ballistic missile
02:06:00.520program. Well, I'll tell you, Iran's like, no, that's a non-starter. We're not doing that. So
02:06:04.840a lot of the pressure that's on the United States to negotiate comes like,
02:06:09.880you know, with Israeli requests. And that's kind of why I think Trump has been like, dude,
02:06:15.960these guys are derailing our negotiations. They're derailing our ability to, you know,
02:06:20.760avoid a war because Israel wants them to, wants to strain and go into Iran and just bomb them,
02:06:26.920okay, and destroy their nuclear program altogether. They don't want them to dismantle any of that.
02:06:31.320They just want to attack and destroy it. And they proposed very wild. They've recently come up with
02:06:37.880extremely wild and radical military strategies of what they think they would go in. They proposed
02:06:43.480going with special ops, bombing the hell out of it. But the problem is that Israel doesn't have
02:06:47.080the bunker buster bombs that, or the planes that could facilitate destroying Iran's nuclear program,
02:06:53.560which is deep underground. They got to get that from us. And like I said before,
02:06:57.480I've explained this before. If you guys want to know what would happen if we actually did attack Iran
02:07:02.360and why Trump does not want to do this, I made a video on this. I'll show it to you guys real quick.
