00:37:19.900 And you know,
00:37:21.840 And you know,
00:37:21.980 And you know,
00:37:22.300 He walked in with a veil on one of them.
00:37:23.980 Out the proof of my eye, I just saw this.
00:37:32.740 Yo, man, that's really what happened to you.
00:37:36.460 I hit me in the corner whacking it, man.
00:37:39.680 Yo, what the fuck, bro?
00:37:41.880 Okay.
00:37:42.940 She left the room to talk to him, and she came back like,
00:37:45.580 yo, that was perfect.
00:37:46.960 We happy, we good.
00:37:48.180 And then she said to me, yo, do you want to finish?
00:37:51.140 Meaning, you know, I guess, do I want to bust a nut?
00:37:56.020 You know what I'm saying?
00:37:57.040 And my first example, you know, I'm trying to be professional.
00:38:01.060 Like, I'm like, nah, I'm good.
00:38:02.380 Like, if y'all good, I'm good.
00:38:04.520 This ain't about me.
00:38:05.740 And I just left, you know?
00:38:08.000 But she did say, all right, well, when we get back in town,
00:38:11.520 we want to hit you again.
00:38:12.540 Is it okay?
00:38:13.420 I'm like, yeah, I just got 2K to rub down like a super.
00:38:17.820 Yeah, so you got paid like 2,000 instead of 200.
00:38:19.880 Bad chick.
00:38:21.800 So I'm not, of course, I'm down if you want to hit me back.
00:38:25.160 But it was offered to me the first time,
00:38:27.060 and I actually turned it down, yo.
00:38:28.840 To be on some professional.
00:38:30.940 Right.
00:38:31.160 Was baby oil mandatory?
00:38:34.380 Mandatory, yo.
00:38:35.000 Yeah, he got a baby oil.
00:38:36.380 That shit's mandatory.
00:38:37.200 I've seen also in the transcripts that you said it was just supposed to be like a sexy scene,
00:38:45.720 meaning that Puff would tell you to move the candles a certain way
00:38:50.340 or tell her to move the candles a certain way for lighting purposes for his visual.
00:38:54.400 Could you explain that?
00:38:55.260 Yeah, so, like, when I first got in there, she made it clear that this was a scene we were setting up for her husband.
00:39:06.200 Okay.
00:39:06.420 So, you know, it was like couches.
00:39:09.480 All the furniture in the suite was covered in sheets.
00:39:12.640 Like, everything was covered in sheets.
00:39:14.600 So it was like a single chair across from, like, a big sofa.
00:39:18.460 And we were supposed to sit on there and kind of put oil on myself.
00:39:22.940 She was supposed to do the same.
00:39:24.060 And then at some point, we're rubbing on each other and we're doing little, like, masturbating.
00:39:30.900 I'm masturbating.
00:39:31.680 She's masturbating.
00:39:32.700 But you could tell.
00:39:33.840 And that's another thing.
00:39:34.760 So did he have them, like, stare at each other and goon, which is something else that he wanted them to do,
00:39:40.320 which is strange, but it's what he would do.
00:39:43.800 It was act.
00:39:44.840 Right.
00:39:45.180 Like, we're, like, in character.
00:39:48.000 Like, one of them corny Cinemax movies.
00:39:50.640 You know what I'm saying?
00:39:51.240 Like, the sex scene in the little Cinemax movies.
00:39:53.180 So we're trying to make it look like the part, you know?
00:39:57.600 And then he, so he would give subtle cues because he's across the room.
00:40:01.740 And the room's dark.
00:40:02.920 Everything's candle lit.
00:40:04.160 And he'll say, like, yo, move a little bit.
00:40:07.080 Yo, move the candle.
00:40:08.040 I can't really see.
00:40:09.220 Or move the body.
00:40:11.280 And he would never talk to me.
00:40:12.620 Not one word to me.
00:40:13.900 Only to her.
00:40:15.420 And if it's instructions for me, it goes to her and she tells me.
00:40:18.600 So it was, like, a real scripted kind of routine.
00:40:24.620 And it really went like that every single time.
00:40:26.840 So he was basically orchestrating a sex scene without directly talking to you, but telling her certain things.
00:40:33.940 Exactly.
00:40:34.500 Wow.
00:40:37.980 Crazy.
00:40:39.540 I seen also in the transcript, or I actually heard you talk about this, that Puff would have the Muslim mask on and be naked from the neck down.
00:40:49.480 Nigga said the Muslim mask.
00:40:51.000 What the fuck, bro?
00:40:52.880 What was that like?
00:40:55.140 Pause.
00:40:55.440 Falcon Punch!
00:41:02.380 Yo, man.
00:41:03.480 This nigga, Kevin, it's funny.
00:41:04.440 I'm not going to lie.
00:41:05.600 Yo, what was that like?
00:41:06.900 Pause.
00:41:10.440 Let's talk about this.
00:41:12.580 That Puff would have the Muslim mask on and be naked from the neck down.
00:41:17.240 What was that like?
00:41:19.380 Pause.
00:41:20.920 Bro, that was, that was, like, the weirdest shit ever.
00:41:24.780 You know what I'm saying?
00:41:25.220 Nigga come with the thing naked from the waist out, bro.
00:41:27.860 That's why I showed y'all that short of me doing that.
00:41:30.620 Like, it's already weird knowing, like, a dude's coming in the room, you know?
00:41:36.580 But.
00:41:37.420 And mind you, this guy has erectile dysfunction, Chad.
00:41:39.360 He's been struggling with it his whole life.
00:41:41.620 So could you imagine you've been struggling with ED your entire life?
00:41:44.780 And now some dude walks in wearing a fucking, uh, a veil?
00:41:50.380 Allah Akbar!
00:41:51.760 Whacking it?
00:41:52.740 And then sits in the corner and it's all dark?
00:41:54.840 You don't see nothing?
00:41:56.200 You know, I'm messing with the chick.
00:41:58.120 And mind you, I'm seeing all this peripheral.
00:42:00.820 Right.
00:42:01.000 So it's extra crazy because it's not straight on.
00:42:03.880 So it's at the corner of my eye.
00:42:05.160 I'm like, yo, this dude got on, like, a veil.
00:42:08.580 And, and he, and he's, half the time he's beaten off and he's dead.
00:42:19.320 Bruh.
00:42:21.000 I ain't gonna lie.
00:42:21.840 I think Cam's face says it all, right?
00:42:25.480 Cam's face says it all.
00:42:26.700 Yo, yo, just so y'all know.
00:42:28.800 This nigga made a book, bro.
00:42:30.980 This, this dude made a book.
00:42:32.060 Let me, let me show you guys.
00:42:33.140 Hold on.
00:42:33.560 Let me, I'll keep playing the interview and I'll pull it up for you guys on the side, bro.
00:42:37.100 This nigga made a book, bro.
00:42:38.180 I spoke inside the side.
00:42:40.060 So it was, it was, it was some, it was, it was, it was definitely a difficult space to try to be in.
00:42:47.760 But I'm, I ain't no front.
00:42:49.460 But at the time I'm greedy.
00:42:50.720 I want this bread.
00:42:51.720 You know what I'm saying?
00:42:52.260 I'm looking at the scenario and I'm trying to make it work.
00:42:55.680 But.
00:42:56.060 Yo, dude wrote a book right here.
00:42:59.540 In search of freezer meat, a story of the male mental health crisis caused by erectile dysfunction.
00:43:04.000 And the only true cure no one is talking about.
00:43:06.400 A penis implant.
00:43:07.220 Bro, you can't make this shit up, bro.
00:43:10.120 Guys, nigga literally wrote a book.
00:43:13.200 Look at this shit, man.
00:43:19.860 What is that?
00:43:21.700 Bro.
00:43:26.060 Bruh.
00:43:31.180 Yo, this trial is not real, chat.
00:43:33.620 This trial is, I'm fucking shocked, man.
00:43:35.780 It was tough, man.
00:43:38.420 It was tough.
00:43:39.940 It was just a veil.
00:43:41.000 Somebody told me he had a Yankee fitted.
00:43:43.220 Man, I would have just pled guilty if I was Diddy, bro.
00:43:45.340 All this shit coming out of trial is crazy.
00:43:47.400 Over the veil.
00:43:48.260 Like, like, everything.
00:43:49.920 So everything was just covering the face.
00:43:52.800 Superdip paws.
00:43:53.660 And naked from the neck down.
00:43:55.400 Every single time?
00:43:57.360 Every single time, man.
00:43:58.620 So that's a little construed, right?
00:44:01.360 It was a veil, just period.
00:44:03.600 Like, the ones the Muslim women wear.
00:44:05.740 So you don't see anything but the eyes.
00:44:08.300 But I think at some point after, like, the year and change, and it was a while.
00:44:12.140 He wore the veil for a minute.
00:44:13.940 Right.
00:44:14.180 I think they might have figured out.
00:44:17.820 I saw the TV.
00:44:19.240 And at some point, he just changed to a Yankee fitted.
00:44:23.860 So at some point, he dropped the veil.
00:44:25.880 And I guess he knew.
00:44:27.560 Maybe he saw the TV on.
00:44:29.280 You know what I'm saying?
00:44:29.820 Like, I probably left it.
00:44:31.660 And I guess he figured out, all right, homie figured it out.
00:44:34.140 So he stopped wearing a veil.
00:44:35.660 And he was just, like, rocker fitted.
00:44:37.800 Right.
00:44:38.740 I also seen that you say when you and her were doing what you guys were doing,
00:44:46.480 he would be pacing back and forth with a bottle of Astroglide?
00:44:51.300 Yeah, man.
00:44:52.020 Every time, you know, it was obviously.
00:44:54.960 Yeah, he said that on his testimony, too.
00:44:56.460 He could tell that it was Astroglide because of the purple cap, I think.
00:44:59.040 Like, something he was into in terms of visually watching this.
00:45:04.960 What was being done with the Astroglide, though?
00:45:07.600 Paul.
00:45:08.280 I guess he's using it as lubricant to beat off.
00:45:11.980 You know what I'm saying?
00:45:12.820 That was, you know, he's pleasuring himself during the action.
00:45:16.720 So, obviously, he's using that for loop.
00:45:20.080 Do you consider puffing?
00:45:21.140 Yo, jacking off with a New York fitter is crazy, bro.
00:45:24.380 What the fuck?
00:45:25.240 You go from Derek Jeter to Derek Jerk Off.
00:45:30.060 God damn.
00:45:31.380 For cuckhole.
00:45:34.220 Yeah, I mean, the whole time, that's what I thought it was.
00:45:36.980 Right, right.
00:45:38.260 Yeah, I thought it was.
00:45:39.380 It's because you keep using the word voyeur.
00:45:41.660 This is cuckhole activity.
00:45:44.040 Yeah, nah, without a doubt.
00:45:45.300 Yeah, we're going to step it up to cuckhole.
00:45:49.860 Yeah, yeah, so I'm saying voyeur.
00:45:51.720 Yeah, voyeurism is just basically looking, right?
00:45:54.280 But, like, this, yeah, 100%, this is just straight up cuckin', bro.
00:45:58.800 Because that's what she said to me.
00:46:00.200 Right.
00:46:00.480 Like, when I came back.
00:46:01.520 You know why?
00:46:02.320 Because they down.
00:46:03.320 You know why?
00:46:05.080 Because voyeur don't seem as bad as cuckhole.
00:46:08.040 So, they downplay it with the.
00:46:10.180 Yo, I'm just a voyeur.
00:46:11.280 Nah, you was an official cuckhole, nigga.
00:46:13.280 Because voyeur can mean you watching anybody, not your girl.
00:46:17.380 Cuckhole is when your girl is in play.
00:46:19.740 You know what I'm saying?
00:46:20.500 So.
00:46:21.080 Yeah, I agree with that definition.
00:46:22.300 I agree with that.
00:46:22.880 I agree with that.
00:46:24.800 Because voyeurism is literally anything, bro.
00:46:26.540 That's just, like, pervy niggas that want to, like, look at shit.
00:46:29.180 But when niggas want to see specifically it be their girl, yeah, 100%.
00:46:32.880 Yeah, he's a, sound cuckhole-ish, man.
00:46:37.320 Did Puff ever participate?
00:46:41.260 Nah, man.
00:46:42.100 Nah, he stayed across the room.
00:46:43.880 You know, like I said in my testimony.
00:46:47.800 Bro, that'd be crazy if the nigga was wearing Tim's and a Yankee fitted and nothing else is naked everywhere else.
00:46:52.200 That'd be crazy.
00:46:53.600 The closest he got to actual action, like it was one time.
00:46:59.100 All this stuff, almost every session happened in the living room, but it was one specific one where they, we got moved to the bedroom, me and her.
00:47:07.520 So, in the bedroom, he's in a closer proximity because he's walking, now he's walking around the bed.
00:47:13.360 And at some point, like, almost at, like, the strip club, he took, like, a stack of hundreds and just threw it on the bed while we was, um, while up.
00:47:21.660 Oh, yeah, I told y'all about that story.
00:47:23.360 I told y'all about that one.
00:47:24.280 When he threw the stack of money and that shit threw him off, bro.
00:47:26.480 Well, when me and her was having sex and we both was like, like, what's going on?
00:47:30.900 And he just was like, nah, I'm enjoying this shit.
00:47:33.020 Yeah, because she even turned back and said, you know, Puff, you okay?
00:47:36.680 And he was like, nah, I'm just enjoying this.
00:47:38.580 Like, like, because the nigga just walked in and just, could you imagine, bro?
00:47:41.220 Like, guys, you gotta, yo, you just gotta, like, I don't want to put your guys' minds in a dirty place, but for purposes of, um, you know, understanding the scenario, to understand this, um, crime, you're sitting there and you're smashing some chick, right?
00:47:58.640 Doggy style.
00:47:59.960 And then, you know, you kind of know that you're being watched or whatever.
00:48:03.360 But then, the nigga just comes into the room, barges in, and just throws a stack of money at you and her, right?
00:48:10.380 Come on, man.
00:48:11.480 That's gonna be fucking weird.
00:48:13.420 You're over here, like, you know, trying to focus.
00:48:15.100 And on top of that, you got erectile dysfunction, right?
00:48:17.260 So you're just, like, you're just doing it like this with your eyes closed and shit, trying to imagine that this is somewhat normal, trying to fucking bust it up.
00:48:25.480 Because, you know, if you don't, you're not gonna get a fucking job after this.
00:48:27.700 Niggas are gonna fire you.
00:48:29.040 And some dude fucking walks in, right?
00:48:31.320 With a Yankee finit naked.
00:48:32.880 Yeah!
00:48:33.660 With a bunch of money, bro.
00:48:35.280 Like, come on, man.
00:48:36.700 Like, that's just wild.
00:48:38.980 And then Cassie, she'll see what's going on.
00:48:40.520 Because, you know, she's obviously on all fours and shit.
00:48:43.380 And it's because he looked back.
00:48:45.420 He ever said on his testimony.
00:48:46.600 She looked back and was like, Puff, you okay?
00:48:49.940 Nigga was smiling.
00:48:50.540 He was like, yeah, I'm just enjoying this shit.
00:48:52.680 You know, nigga got hype.
00:48:54.020 So, uh, yeah, bro.
00:49:00.280 And, you know, we just kept doing what we was doing.
00:49:03.880 All right.
00:49:05.780 So the nigga basically...
00:49:07.360 Pardon me, I'm gathering information.
00:49:09.260 Yo, is he in the reaction of Cam?
00:49:19.900 Some, like, hood dude from Harlem listening to this story.
00:49:22.420 It's crazy.
00:49:23.500 Talk.
00:49:24.240 Y'all in the bed.
00:49:25.280 He's circling the room.
00:49:26.340 Takes our sack on it.
00:49:27.260 Just throw it on the bed.
00:49:28.920 Just throw it on the bed.
00:49:30.040 Wow.
00:49:30.840 Wow.
00:49:32.680 It's crazy.
00:49:33.640 Um, sorry about that.
00:49:34.820 I was just, just thinking, what was the most money you made doing this with them?
00:49:40.860 Every single time I came, it was $1,200 to $2,000.
00:49:46.020 But like I said, sometimes I could come three days in a row.
00:49:49.680 Right.
00:49:50.800 So, so be $1,200, $2,000, $1,200 for that.
00:49:55.360 You know what I'm saying?
00:49:56.280 For that session.
00:49:57.800 Yeah, exactly.
00:49:59.380 Got you.
00:50:00.600 And it will last two, three days?
00:50:02.240 Yeah, two, three days, but not straight.
00:50:05.200 Like, a few hours, I'll go home, you'll come back again.
00:50:08.420 And, and the reason why, guys, because he used to, he used to cycle in multiple escorts.
00:50:12.000 Like, he doesn't know this Punisher, but what Diddy would do is when he would do these
00:50:14.780 freak-offs, he would circle in multiple, um, escorts, and it would go for multiple days.
00:50:19.740 A few hours, I'll go home, come back again.
00:50:22.100 You know?
00:50:22.340 That nigga's on time, that nigga's on clockwork.
00:50:24.360 That's a, that's a wild nigga, man.
00:50:26.320 Um, I also seen that you say...
00:50:30.200 Yo, this nigga commentary is crazy, man.
00:50:32.980 As he said, she felt comfortable with you.
00:50:35.960 Did you take that as she liked you?
00:50:40.640 Not really.
00:50:42.060 Um, I knew, it was clear, man, this was something we were setting up for her dude, right?
00:50:50.000 At the time, I'm thinking her husband, because she said this to me the very first encounter,
00:50:54.520 right?
00:50:55.540 So I didn't think it was a personable, she's into me, but obviously, if this is something
00:51:01.700 that has to be done based on their sexual fetish, well, she's going to do it with somebody
00:51:08.680 that, all right, I'm comfortable with this dude, you know?
00:51:12.240 Right.
00:51:12.460 So, I always took it as, all right, however the vibe was, however things went, it worked
00:51:18.800 for her, so that's why she said, I'm going to call you back, you know?
00:51:23.060 Got you.
00:51:23.920 Did Puff ever appear jealous while you guys were having intercourse or participating with
00:51:29.280 each other?
00:51:30.540 Not at all, man.
00:51:31.540 All right.
00:51:31.980 Not at all.
00:51:32.700 It was like, good to go.
00:51:33.860 Like I told you, the focus was making sure he got the right visuals, the lighting was
00:51:39.340 right, the, you know, put more baby oil on, like it was, it was, he was, he was into it
00:51:47.200 from an enjoyment standpoint, not, you know.
00:51:50.280 So, but you're saying he basically never, never was jealous.
00:51:53.560 Did Cassie ever reach out to you without Puff?
00:51:58.460 Nah.
00:51:59.180 Nah.
00:51:59.780 Yeah, nah, that was, that's a big no, because he had to be there.
00:52:03.240 Nah, I was strictly busy, and honestly, man, I wasn't, I wasn't even trying to play that,
00:52:09.500 you know, get caught up in some type of.
00:52:13.040 Yeah, the money was too good, he didn't want to fuck that up.
00:52:16.080 Fantasy, I know one of the other dudes got caught up in some fantasy of.
00:52:20.100 Yeah, the other, the other guy, Phillips, got like, started getting feelings for Cassie
00:52:24.400 like a simp.
00:52:25.160 They could be together, I, I knew what it was, man.
00:52:28.500 Right.
00:52:28.740 Like, I'm in, I'm, she with a dude in $30,000 a night suites, like, like, like, I move, I,
00:52:36.940 I, I, I, I can pull it off with chicks, but, you know, that's a tough act to follow, you
00:52:42.400 know what I'm saying?
00:52:43.040 So, I saw it as an opportunity, man, and I was just trying to come through to, you know,
00:52:48.840 come up whatever way I could with that easy money, how I saw it.
00:52:52.600 Yeah, I ain't knocking my nigga.
00:52:53.900 How was that pussy, though?
00:53:08.080 Yo!
00:53:08.640 What in the niggotry is going on, bro?
00:53:26.220 What the fuck?
00:53:27.400 I ain't gonna lie, guys, this is why Cam'ron is one of my favorite rappers.
00:53:37.600 When I used to listen to Hip Hop Heavy, back in the day, this, this guy was actually one
00:53:40.640 of my favorite rappers, bro.
00:53:41.560 I ain't gonna lie to you guys.
00:53:43.460 Yo.
00:53:43.780 Yo, nigga, cut to the chase, and that's the real questions, man.
00:53:50.640 Yo, W Journalism, bro.
00:53:58.800 Nigga asking what the, he, nigga's a man for the people.
00:54:01.860 He's asking what the, what the rest of us want to know.
00:54:08.820 Yo.
00:54:11.060 Wow.
00:54:12.700 Wow.
00:54:13.140 Yo, like the goddamn video, motherfucker.
00:54:21.380 Smash that like button, bro.
00:54:22.740 Falcon Punch!
00:54:24.700 Yo, this shit is comedy, man.
00:54:27.260 Yo, smash that fucking like button.
00:54:29.880 And guys, the reason why this is even funnier for me, because you guys got to look at it
00:54:33.520 from my perspective, right?
00:54:35.180 This shit's funnier for me because I sat in the courtroom.
00:54:37.860 So, when I sat in the courtroom, I listened to the Punisher straight up.
00:54:41.500 I listened to this guy, like, on the stand, saying this shit.
00:54:44.840 I'm in the courtroom.
00:54:45.420 I can hear everything.
00:54:46.420 I'm taking notes meticulously, right?
00:54:49.140 Because I'm like, all right, I got to report on this later on.
00:54:51.180 So, I'm taking notes.
00:54:51.880 So, I know this case to a very deep level, right?
00:54:55.320 So, it's really funny for me to be here, listen to this broadcast with Cam, knowing
00:55:01.680 all the shit that I know, and hearing all the other testimony I've heard, right?
00:55:05.660 Because in my head, as he's telling the story, I'm pausing it, and then giving you guys
00:55:09.360 the full backstory of what happened, right?
00:55:10.960 And explaining things and weaving things together.
00:55:13.060 Because what ends up happening, right?
00:55:14.480 If you're paying attention to a trial, witnesses' statements all start to match up.
00:55:18.640 So, for me, this is extra entertaining.
00:55:21.040 Because I've heard this testimony, but now he's able to tell it in a more candid manner
00:55:24.660 with Cam, because obviously, when he's there and the prosecutors ask him questions, it's
00:55:27.640 all business, right?
00:55:28.600 He's got to answer the questions, be proper, don't go too far.
00:55:31.760 He can't go into details.
00:55:33.080 They'll object if he says too much shit.
00:55:34.500 So, now I'm hearing the testimony kind of unedited, right?
00:55:40.240 The same testimony.
00:55:41.740 And then Cam, instead of being the prosecutor asking questions about the crime, this nigga's
00:55:45.120 asking the questions that the rest of us want to hear.
00:55:47.240 So, this makes it extra fucking funny for me, man.
00:55:49.600 I ain't gonna lie.
00:55:50.300 And probably for you guys, too.
00:55:51.280 If you guys have been watching my Diddy coverage, you guys know I go into crazy detail.
00:55:54.380 A lot of you guys are probably very well aware of the case as well now at this point,
00:55:58.020 if you guys have been watching this channel, right?
00:56:00.320 So, anyway, let's get back to it, man.
00:56:03.160 I gotta rewind that part a little bit, bro.
00:56:04.660 This shit crazy.
00:56:05.900 The stuff I have to follow, you know what I'm saying?
00:56:07.840 So, I saw it as an opportunity, man.
00:56:10.840 And I was just trying to come through to, you know, come up whatever way I could with
00:56:15.180 that easy money, how I saw it.
00:56:17.460 Yeah, I ain't knocking my nigga.
00:56:19.040 How was that pussy, though?
00:56:22.980 I mean, bro.
00:56:25.360 Look, he's got to hold back the laughter.
00:56:27.240 He even knows that shit was crazy.
00:56:29.080 Niggas, hold it back the laughter.
00:56:30.000 You see his lip quivering right there?
00:56:31.780 Pause.
00:56:32.760 Even if it was fire.
00:56:34.280 Bro, was the pussy good for your family?
00:56:36.340 Let's stop the political shit.
00:56:39.840 We was Harlem time, my nigga.
00:56:41.600 You 39th Street on 40.
00:56:43.280 We Harlem time, my nigga.
00:56:46.180 Yeah, because I think this guy's from Harlem, too, actually.
00:56:49.000 This guy's from Harlem, too.
00:56:50.140 You can tell, bro.
00:56:51.640 You know how New York people sound when they talk.
00:56:56.240 Was the pussy...
00:56:57.000 How was that pussy, my nigga?
00:56:59.100 Bro, I'm going to be honest with you, man.
00:57:00.800 I couldn't get there, bro.
00:57:02.520 Okay.
00:57:02.980 Like, I got it too...
00:57:04.420 Y'all know, because obviously niggas is searching freezer meat.
00:57:07.600 That's why.
00:57:08.700 That's why he couldn't get there.
00:57:10.220 Bro has erectile dysfunction.
00:57:12.900 ...back and forth, beating his joint.
00:57:15.900 You know what I'm saying?
00:57:16.800 Yeah.
00:57:17.000 My career feels...
00:57:18.740 My spider senses is wild.
00:57:21.020 You know what I'm saying?
00:57:22.400 Especially when I found out it was puff.
00:57:25.340 When I found out it was puff, it got all the way worse.
00:57:27.800 Because if you grew up in Harlem, if you grew up in that era, I can't validate it.
00:57:33.440 But everybody knows there's rumors, right?
00:57:35.620 Right.
00:57:35.780 There's rumors that he could be, you know, interested in dudes.
00:57:40.200 So, the whole time, I'm semi-paranoid.
00:57:44.100 Now, what Cassie would do is she would tell the strippers that Diddy's not gay and he's
00:57:48.300 not going to touch them.
00:57:49.320 Because there were a few times where some of the escorts would get nervous because they
00:57:54.680 didn't know puff like that.
00:57:56.020 But she would always assure them, look, he's never going to touch you.
00:57:58.800 He's not gay.
00:58:00.560 He's just going to be back watching.
00:58:02.720 Like, I wrote in my book, bro, for real.
00:58:04.560 I got a hearing problem.
00:58:06.020 Right.
00:58:06.260 And sometimes when he would give her directions, I would hear, like, something completely different.
00:58:13.480 Like, he'll say, yo, I like the position you're in.
00:58:18.420 And I'm like, yo, did he just say I wish I could penetrate him?
00:58:22.400 Like, I'm hearing, you know what I'm saying?
00:58:27.080 Like, I'm hearing, like, yo, hold up.
00:58:29.920 Wait, what did he just say?
00:58:31.480 Like.
00:58:31.840 So, basically, you never could get comfortable because, so let's just be clear and get the
00:58:39.620 elephant out the room for the audience.
00:58:41.080 Are you, you're not gay, you're saying?
00:58:43.360 Absolutely not.
00:58:44.340 Right.
00:58:45.100 So, therefore, you're saying that already, just to put everything into perspective, that
00:58:50.920 you're there for this chicken to get this money.
00:58:53.220 You don't know it's puffed this whole time.
00:58:55.160 So, you're already thinking, like, okay, this nigga's being weird, whoever it is, and
00:58:59.980 I gotta keep an eye out for him because we don't know what type, in case he wanna, if
00:59:04.820 he get mad, if he wanna join, I'm not with none of that.
00:59:07.320 I'm here to bone your bitch, like you paid me to do, and stay the fuck out of it.
00:59:12.060 But what you're saying is, the paranoia intensified once you found out it was puffed, and you
00:59:18.020 like, oh, hold on, now this shit done got to.
00:59:21.400 And also, the other thing, too, that you guys gotta understand, look, I know there's
00:59:25.220 a lot of young guys that watch me and stuff like that, but all my guys that are born in
00:59:28.020 the 90s and the 80s, you guys know what I'm talking about.
00:59:30.620 Puff was on top of the world, bro.
00:59:33.000 Like, early 2000s?
00:59:35.120 90s?
00:59:35.560 You couldn't avoid this guy, bro.
00:59:37.360 I'm telling you guys, like, Diddy was, like, as big as Drake back then, right?
00:59:45.440 He was like DJ Khaled, but bigger.
00:59:46.980 Because even though he wasn't necessarily known as being, like, a great artist, he was
00:59:51.260 known for being the dude that could bring multiple people from different factions together,
00:59:54.940 right?
00:59:55.760 And as being, like, a music mogul.
00:59:58.500 And he was, like, the first, I would say, Diddy was the first rapper to, like, become
01:00:04.120 a billionaire, kind of.
01:00:05.140 Like, to make hip-hop into a business, to be credible and taken seriously in the business
01:00:10.320 world.
01:00:10.620 Diddy was that guy.
01:00:12.480 See, and I got a bunch of guys in the chat agree with me.
01:00:14.000 See, look, all you younger guys, you know, you might not know.
01:00:19.860 Because I know Diddy, after, like, 2015, he started to fall off.
01:00:22.260 People didn't really know what the fuck was going on.
01:00:23.600 But early 2000s?
01:00:24.880 Bro, he was on TV.
01:00:27.100 He was on MTV Cribs.
01:00:28.180 He was on VH1.
01:00:29.380 He was on fucking Making a Band.
01:00:31.780 He had the show with Danny D. Cain.
01:00:33.220 You could not avoid this motherfucker in the early to mid-2000s, bro.
01:00:36.780 You could not avoid him, bro.
01:00:37.920 He was everywhere.
01:00:39.320 Everywhere.
01:00:39.640 Everywhere.
01:00:41.220 Okay?
01:00:41.740 Like, if you heard something on the radio, he was either, it was either his shit or he
01:00:45.900 worked with somebody that made that.
01:00:48.100 So, he was absolutely huge back then, man.
01:00:52.060 A 10.
01:00:53.180 And he was, like, the first rapper to, like, really be an entrepreneur.
01:00:56.940 Clothing line was Sean John.
01:00:58.260 Alcohol was to rock.
01:00:59.900 Revolt Television.
01:01:00.800 You know, diversifying and dealing with other types of musicians, other type of artists.
01:01:07.700 Right?
01:01:07.920 He was one of the first, like, he was, like, one of the main rappers that would, like, be
01:01:10.780 doing collabs with people.
01:01:11.860 He had a whole list of A-list friends.
01:01:15.060 So, yeah.
01:01:16.220 Because, not only am I fucking this nigga girl, but it's Puff.
01:01:21.340 So, now you say you hearing shit that you wasn't hearing, and now you can't really enjoy
01:01:26.820 the pussy like you want to enjoy it?
01:01:28.420 Is that what you're saying?
01:01:29.380 Absolutely, man.
01:01:31.420 Absolutely.
01:01:32.160 Like, I'm not, I'm not intimately connected, yo.
01:01:35.680 You know what I'm saying?
01:01:36.180 Like, I don't think I got a real erection the entire time.
01:01:42.040 Right.
01:01:42.300 Like, I was loading up, loading up on any pill, anything that I could take just to get
01:01:48.960 there because I could not connect.
01:01:51.640 Yeah.
01:01:52.240 You know what I'm saying?
01:01:53.120 It was too paranoid.
01:01:54.840 It was official paranoid, bro.
01:01:56.620 Right.
01:01:56.980 Right.
01:01:57.880 Because I ain't, I wasn't.
01:01:59.340 Yeah.
01:01:59.600 And back then, like I said, he's paranoid because Diddy was that guy back then, bro.
01:02:03.660 That's why he's paranoid.
01:02:04.740 Or he was paranoid.
01:02:05.880 I'm not used to being in that situation.
01:02:07.600 And then it's like, homie got on the veil and butt naked.
01:02:11.380 And then, then, like I said, I find out it's puffed and then it's the rumors.
01:02:15.700 So, real talk.
01:02:16.700 I'm like, yo, I don't, I don't want this to go left.
01:02:20.000 Right.
01:02:20.860 Well, listen, man, we're going to get you some pink horsepower because it don't matter what
01:02:24.720 the situation is.
01:02:26.240 That, that joint work.
01:02:27.480 We're going to, you know, you from the block.
01:02:29.040 We'll send you a case up there.
01:02:31.520 I do.
01:02:32.280 No, you're ready, nigga.
01:02:33.400 That ain't about nothing.
01:02:34.300 Did you go raw ever?
01:02:36.620 Yo, bro.
01:02:37.340 Yeah.
01:02:37.740 No, every time you went raw and this is actually where he had the problems.
01:02:41.480 He went raw every time.
01:02:42.360 Real, bro.
01:02:42.860 That same day, that same day when he threw the stack of hundreds.
01:02:47.520 Right.
01:02:47.980 Like it, that was like, it was, we were on the bed and, and, you know, I started out,
01:02:53.840 you know, I'm, I'm eating a box.
01:02:55.900 Right.
01:02:56.360 And, and after you would tell it was like some excitement, some connection.
01:03:01.540 So when I pop up, she's scooting towards me for the, for the penetration.
01:03:06.300 And she kind of looked at him.
01:03:08.620 Bruh.
01:03:11.240 The Guito says, loving the trial cover so far.
01:03:13.180 I've been brilliant.
01:03:14.780 Have you guys covered the Billy Goats gruff situation with incident with took place at
01:03:19.560 the bridge?
01:03:19.880 WMARW show.
01:03:20.640 I'm not familiar with that.
01:03:21.820 I'll be honest with you, bro.
01:03:22.420 I'm not familiar with that.
01:03:23.920 Your boy, Lem says, I got something for you, bro.
01:03:26.340 I promise you to make your day, brother.
01:03:29.180 All right.
01:03:29.440 Let me, let me.
01:03:32.500 I'll put it on the side.
01:03:33.680 Um, Johnny boy says, WMARW, what's your take on Vital situation that when PH offered
01:03:38.720 deportation to both Russia and us, they refused and he might be spending his whole sentence
01:03:41.980 in the Philippines.
01:03:43.660 Um, I mean, you guys gotta remember, he's not an American citizen.
01:03:48.160 So America doesn't really have any vested interest in him.
01:03:50.320 Um, and, um, you know, uh, and then Russia, I don't think Russia wants him back.
01:03:58.680 He's a Russian citizen.
01:04:00.300 So I don't know, man.
01:04:01.340 I feel bad because like, I like Vitaly a lot, bro.
01:04:05.100 And it sucks what he's going through.
01:04:07.120 Santos says, Maren, why you never buy a woman a watch?
01:04:09.320 Because there's a clock on a stove.
01:04:10.700 Ha ha.
01:04:11.200 Good one.
01:04:12.400 Um, so yeah, bro.
01:04:13.640 Um, yo, Lem, I'm looking at this picture, bro.
01:04:19.380 This shit ain't even funny, nigga.
01:04:20.440 Come on, man.
01:04:22.020 Come on, man.
01:04:23.560 This is not even, this is kind of corny.
01:04:26.060 I'll save you the embarrassment and not show the audience this shit.
01:04:28.860 Cause they'll call you a cornball if I put this up on screen, bro.
01:04:31.880 And he was like, yo, go ahead.
01:04:33.520 Have a good time.
01:04:34.340 That's that 2010 humor, man.
01:04:36.440 I mean, I was wild reckless.
01:04:38.780 I just, it was what it was.
01:04:40.980 So there's only one time you went raw.
01:04:43.120 You've repeatedly.
01:04:44.380 That was, let's say that was the fourth time.
01:04:48.200 And then it was every time to the last time.
01:04:51.280 Gotcha.
01:04:52.560 Y'all go raw sometime.
01:04:54.060 Y'all go raw and Cassie be like that, my nigga.
01:04:57.620 Um, uh, some of my co-hosts, they got a couple of questions for you, but I got one more question
01:05:02.600 before they ask you a couple of questions.
01:05:04.800 We hear about, uh, fifties baby mom, Daphne being involved in some of these things.
01:05:10.440 Did you ever fuck Daphne, 50 cents baby mother?
01:05:14.180 Nah.
01:05:14.880 Okay.
01:05:15.400 That, that, and the reason why he's asking that chat is because there's rumors that the
01:05:20.420 woman that Diddy was dealing with in 2020, who I think is going to be witness three when
01:05:25.720 it comes to the abuse, they got Cassie, they got Mia, and then there's supposed to be a
01:05:29.860 third woman that he met in 2020 that had a kid.
01:05:31.800 A lot of people suspected that is, uh, 50 cents baby mom.
01:05:38.580 So that is why, um, he asked that question, Chad.
01:05:42.500 Every time I was cold or involved in any way, it was only Cassie specifically.
01:05:47.580 All right.
01:05:47.980 Cool, man.
01:05:48.880 Hey, yo, my man, Larry, Sheree, you got a question.
01:05:51.020 All right, cool.
01:05:51.720 Now, uh, so anyway, I figured I'd show you guys that interview.
01:05:54.140 It was some funny shit, bro.
01:05:55.100 Uh, all right, let's get into the actual trial.
01:05:58.440 What went down?
01:05:59.380 Jesse Weber and welcome to Law and Crimes Live coverage of the Sean Diddy Combs criminal
01:06:03.820 trial at a federal court.
01:06:05.020 Why the fuck is their audio so trash?
01:06:09.260 Welcome to Law and Crimes Live.
01:06:12.580 Well, Jesse, first off, I have to say it was perfect execution's case and I'll get into
01:06:16.960 who the witness.
01:06:17.520 Guys, is that their audio or mine?
01:06:19.140 Showdown happening in the center.
01:06:20.460 Yeah, no, it's their fucking audio.
01:06:21.800 This is our, we're going to have Elizabeth Milner up, our long crime reporter who just
01:06:26.900 exited the courtroom, talked to us about today's testimony, and we have an all-star
01:06:30.240 panel, an all-star panel to take your questions for the next hour or so.
01:06:34.380 Everything that happened.
01:06:34.860 All right, let's go to her.
01:06:35.740 This digital forensics expert took the stand.
01:06:38.980 Why was he so important to today's testimony and the trial in general?
01:06:44.880 Okay, so a digital forensics expert took the stand today.
01:06:48.440 Well, Jesse, first off, I have to say it was perfect timing because the,
01:06:51.800 an ambulance just passed by me as you were asking me this question.
01:06:54.980 Also, I just want to shout out Germany for watching this.
01:06:57.680 Little known fact about me is I actually grew up in Germany, but just as far as Frank
01:07:01.520 Piazza's testimony goes, I was really kind of looking forward to his testimony.
01:07:05.200 What did he have to say just about the Intercontinental Hotel?
01:07:08.520 Yeah, my, yeah, guys, it's their audio.
01:07:10.860 It's not me.
01:07:11.820 It's their audio, bro.
01:07:14.100 Their audio is fucking garbage.
01:07:15.900 Yeah, look, the audio is bad on this video.
01:07:18.620 A lot of static noises.
01:07:20.180 Please re-upload this with fixed audio.
01:07:21.540 Thanks in advance.
01:07:22.220 Yeah.
01:07:23.480 Yeah, this shit is trash, man.
01:07:25.180 Let me see if it fixes up later.
01:07:27.100 We see Cassie using it.
01:07:28.180 Yeah, that shit's bad, bro.
01:07:30.160 Yep.
01:07:31.580 Yep.
01:07:32.860 Let me, uh, let me find something else for y'all.
01:07:35.780 Because that shit is trash.
01:07:36.780 I don't know how these niggas didn't have that.
01:07:38.960 Bro, I'm telling you guys, bad audio, people will make concessions for bad video,
01:07:43.920 but they will not make concessions for bad audio, bro.
01:07:47.340 They're just not going to do it.
01:07:52.740 Let's see here.
01:07:58.520 When is the next Klan meeting with Tommy?
01:08:01.120 I am not sure.
01:08:02.920 I am not sure.
01:08:05.400 Let's see here.
01:08:06.300 Uh, ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch.
01:08:08.160 It's not the picture, bro.
01:08:16.480 It's the music in the background.
01:08:19.540 It's not playing any music on the background for me, bro.
01:08:26.580 Um, okay.
01:08:28.260 Let me, let me see here.
01:08:29.240 Give me one sec, chat.
01:08:30.900 That audio is cooked.
01:08:32.140 That audio is cooked.
01:08:38.160 All right.
01:08:38.800 Academic slide.
01:08:39.380 Let's see what he's talking about.
01:08:43.080 Because I run a male blog.
01:08:44.960 And so we have a male point of view.
01:08:47.000 And sometimes somebody with a female point of view might differ.
01:08:49.940 And when I was trying to talk to her and just ask her about certain things,
01:08:54.580 she said,
01:08:55.160 listen, I didn't get what, I was no naive chick.
01:08:59.240 I came from the clubs.
01:09:00.220 I understood what shit was, what shit was.
01:09:02.240 Because it gets to a point, though, where a nigga is, is just going too crazy.
01:09:08.240 Like, he's trying to fuck every chick you know.
01:09:11.360 He's trying to fuck all the rappers you won't work with.
01:09:13.820 He's just going too crazy.
01:09:15.280 And that's what she kind of told me was a lie.
01:09:17.660 She was just like, yo.
01:09:18.940 It would be like the worst rapping-ass chicks.
01:09:21.300 And he would be like, yo.
01:09:22.680 You know, I mean, it wasn't.
01:09:23.680 Okay.
01:09:23.980 I think he's covering like the DDG shit or some shit like that.
01:09:26.500 Uh, yeah.
01:09:28.980 But it is not, it's not his, um.
01:09:32.240 It's not his baby mom, bro.
01:09:34.140 Let's see here.
01:09:34.680 We'll go back.
01:09:35.520 That she was on cocaine when, when Diddy gave her that made that,
01:09:39.560 purportedly made that threat that he could kill her.
01:09:42.620 So the question of her credibility is something that we certainly should foresee.
01:09:47.540 The defense is going to try and attack because she seems as if she has done a lot of drugs.
01:09:52.280 She's admitted that she's done a lot.
01:09:53.660 He wrote that thing to.
01:09:55.560 Okay.
01:09:55.920 In her lawsuit, Cassie referred to her ex-girlfriend that she was sleeping with on the couch.
01:10:07.060 She thought that was Tiffany.
01:10:09.300 But Bungalyn says, no, we weren't in a hotel and my ex-girlfriend wasn't Tiffany.
01:10:14.440 Okay, cool.
01:10:15.560 Have you talked with Cassie about your testimony or hers?
01:10:18.200 They said, no, I've had nightmare.
01:10:19.840 I scream.
01:10:20.780 When was the last time you had nightmares?
01:10:24.080 Bungalyn says, the other day.
01:10:25.400 He says, have you hired a lawyer about the balcony incident?
01:10:27.880 He says, yes.
01:10:28.400 My first lawyer I hired in January of 2020.
01:10:30.800 Okay, Bungalyn.
01:10:31.700 Okay, I think I know who this chick is.
01:10:34.060 Let me, let me, let's see here.
01:10:36.600 Bung.
01:10:43.240 If I'm not mistaken, this is the Asian girl.
01:10:45.160 Oh, Sean, did he call a trial recap woman who alleges to dangle there from the balcony?
01:10:50.920 Yeah, here he is.
01:10:52.060 Who's by Brianna Bungalyn?
01:10:55.120 Yeah, so I remember this.
01:10:56.240 Okay, so this girl was mentioned earlier in the trial chat.
01:10:59.580 This is the Asian girl that uses drugs.
01:11:01.960 Okay, and Diddy didn't like her because she would use drugs with Cassie.
01:11:06.920 So Diddy did not want Cassie hanging out with this girl.
01:11:09.700 This is her right here.
01:11:10.280 She came up early on in the trial when Cassie talked about Diddy hanging her over a balcony
01:11:16.860 or some shit like that.
01:11:18.880 So, all right, so she took the stand today.
01:11:21.300 All right, that's interesting.
01:11:22.600 Before.
01:11:23.220 So did you mention everything in your first meeting with us?
01:11:25.720 She says no.
01:11:28.060 So by the way, they're jumping ahead of what the defense is going to say.
01:11:31.400 Like, you know, everybody has a lawyer.
01:11:33.660 So it seems everybody has a lawyer who is testifying.
01:11:36.660 Yeah, and they're going to do that because a lot of these people are suing Diddy.
01:11:39.080 So that's why.
01:11:40.280 And that's to kind of prevent the angle of you're only hiring a lawyer because you intend
01:11:45.060 to sue and try to get some civil compensation, right?
01:11:48.560 All good.
01:11:50.180 All good.
01:11:50.860 We're trying to get caught up here, people.
01:11:52.240 Trying to get caught up.
01:11:54.280 I wanted to get to the idea of, remember they show those exhibits?
01:11:57.400 On that video, seems to be extremely high.
01:12:00.900 So I personally do not agree with the strategy the defense seems to be employing here.
01:12:05.520 He was hanging out with Cassie, that he thought that they would do drugs together and that
01:12:10.100 at a certain stage in the relationship, looking around 2016 or so, that we've heard all sorts
01:12:17.960 of indicators that Diddy was not happy about Cassie's drug use.
01:12:22.400 And she testified that she did sometimes provide Cassie with drugs and Cassie would pay for
01:12:27.180 it, including oxycontin, cocaine, K, X, and an array of drugs.
01:12:35.840 But there's some interesting stories that have come out already this morning that we
01:12:39.620 had never heard before.
01:12:41.900 One incident that Bonna relayed is that she was at Cassie's house, which she said she was
01:12:45.680 at frequently.
01:12:46.540 She would frequently sleep there, either on the couch or on the balcony or in Cassie's
01:12:51.460 room.
01:12:51.780 I'm trying to find, I'm assuming this is the guy?
01:12:58.840 Hey, 16, under Diddy Tron, this morning we're getting to hear direct testimony from Bonna,
01:13:03.340 which is what her friends called her, Brianna Bonilon.
01:13:06.300 She is the last of the inner circle of Cassie Ventura's friends from the time that she was
01:13:10.300 dating Diddy.
01:13:11.600 At least we'll ask the names that we've routinely...
01:13:14.280 Bro, I need to go back to New York, bro.
01:13:16.140 I might need to go back to New York chat so I can fucking do this shit properly for you
01:13:19.620 ninjas.
01:13:19.920 I might need to go back, man.
01:13:25.580 Frank.
01:13:27.760 Heard during direct testimony from several different witnesses, including Cassie herself.
01:13:33.220 Now, the testimony from Bonna is coming on the heels of testimony from an expert witness
01:13:37.560 who was looking to verify the validity of the infamous surveillance video from Intercontinental
01:13:44.880 Hotel that displayed Diddy throwing Cassie to the ground, kicking her a couple of times.
01:13:49.920 And then trying to drag her down the hall.
01:13:52.060 And some very interesting cross-examination of the defense that raised a lot of eyebrows.
01:13:58.500 I am Joe Nierman, a.k.a. Good Logic.
01:14:00.680 I'm a New York litigator who has practiced in this very courthouse in the Southern District
01:14:04.140 of New York.
01:14:04.720 And I'm coming here from the Diddy trial trying to give you the legal perspective and background
01:14:10.260 so you get a better understanding as to the opposing approaches of the state of defense
01:14:17.000 and see how this trial is progressing.
01:14:19.540 If that sort of thing is your deal, I appreciate it.
01:14:21.760 If you'd like, share, hit it before this trial even started, which displays Diddy wearing
01:14:26.300 nothing but a towel and socks running down the hall of the Intercontinental and into the
01:14:30.520 elevator brank, throwing Cassie's infamous video that has been seen by millions of people
01:14:35.900 before this trial even started, which displays Diddy wearing nothing but a towel and socks running
01:14:41.280 down the hall of the Intercontinental and into the elevator brank, throwing Cassie to the
01:14:46.480 ground from behind.
01:14:47.500 He grabs the back of her hood, throws her to the ground, and then kicks her a couple
01:14:50.400 of times before trying to drag her down the hall.
01:14:54.060 And we've heard a lot of testimony about this incident.
01:14:56.420 The very first witness who came forward in this trial was the manager, who actually can
01:15:02.580 be seen later on on that surveillance video, who arrived on this scene, and he's the one
01:15:07.800 who actually shot video of the video.
01:15:10.560 And the defense has raised issues saying that it looks as if it's been sped up and that maybe
01:15:15.680 this raises some sort of issues as to the credibility of the video, perhaps seeking to get the court
01:15:23.600 to toss the video all together on the basis that it's not an accurate, fair and accurate
01:15:29.560 depiction of what happened.
01:15:31.860 So the state brought in this expert witness trying to establish that it does fairly and
01:15:37.080 accurately depict what happened.
01:15:38.880 During the cross-examination, after he came forward and walked through on direct, that
01:15:45.500 this does, that why it is that the video seemed to jump from this spot to that spot.
01:15:50.620 And he explained how it's a motion-sensitive surveillance camera, meaning it's not always
01:15:56.120 going to be operating.
01:15:57.640 It only turns on when it detects that there's some level of motion.
01:16:01.460 And there was talk about ghost images and whether the video skips at certain points.
01:16:07.220 And he actually shared some interesting tidbits saying that the wall parts that are shown
01:16:12.560 there, the parts that don't move, are static, meaning it always looks like that unless something
01:16:17.380 interrupts it.
01:16:18.300 It might not even be capturing what's happening in that very moment, which is very interesting.
01:16:22.660 There was indication that perhaps Diddy threw the vase, which supposedly he had simply knocked
01:16:27.080 over.
01:16:27.900 That was relatively new.
01:16:29.940 And on cross-examination, Tenny Garagos, for the defense, kept going through the video,
01:16:36.160 like frame by frame.
01:16:38.160 And a lot of people had questions about this.
01:16:40.240 I want to share with you a thought about this from a legal perspective.
01:16:44.300 You know, there's a famous, there's a famous incident.
01:16:47.520 All right, let's move forward.
01:16:48.460 So perhaps they're hopeful that they can get a ruling from the court to have this thing
01:16:52.400 tossed on the lack of, of, of its reliability.
01:16:57.320 If you don't have the.
01:16:58.120 See, bro, now everybody's cut out to be a YouTuber, bro.
01:17:00.240 I'll be honest with y'all.
01:17:00.880 A lot of niggas are just not cut out for this shit, bro.
01:17:06.240 Like.
01:17:06.820 Second witness to come forward today is Brianna Bonilon.
01:17:09.380 All right, there we go.
01:17:10.380 Now we're getting somewhere here.
01:17:11.660 Dude didn't even put timestamps.
01:17:12.720 Witness to come forward today is Brianna Bonilon, aka Bonna.
01:17:16.440 She is a friend who we've heard a lot of testimony about how Diddy didn't like her hanging out
01:17:22.120 with Cassie, that he thought that they would do drugs together and that at a certain stage
01:17:27.640 in their relationship, looking around 2016 or so, that we've, we've heard all sorts of indicators
01:17:33.860 that Diddy was not happy about Cassie's drug use.
01:17:37.360 And she testified that she did sometimes provide Cassie with drugs and Cassie would pay for
01:17:42.120 it, including oxycontin, cocaine, K, X, and an array of drugs.
01:17:50.880 But there's some interesting stories.
01:17:53.360 Hola, Brett.
01:17:53.880 I made some merch concepts with the squad and sent them to UNX.
01:17:56.060 Check them out and let me know if anything needs to be altered.
01:17:58.660 Thanks for all the wisdom.
01:18:00.120 Brett is handling all the merch, guys.
01:18:01.780 That's not really me, but merch is coming soon.
01:18:04.220 I got a couple of designs.
01:18:05.040 Stories that have come out already this morning that we had never heard before.
01:18:09.760 One incident that Bonna relayed is that she was at Cassie's house, which she said she was
01:18:13.840 at frequently.
01:18:14.700 She would frequently sleep there, either on the couch or on the balcony or in Cassie's
01:18:19.620 room.
01:18:20.640 And she said one time there was a pounding on the door and that Diddy came in and he took
01:18:26.140 a knife and threw it at Cassie.
01:18:29.180 And he said, you know, she thought it came close to Cassie.
01:18:32.000 And the state asked Bonna, how did Cassie respond?
01:18:37.280 And she said she picked up the knife and threw it back at him.
01:18:40.140 This is something we had never heard before.
01:18:44.240 But, you know, obviously that is displaying certainly a reckless disregard, one would think,
01:18:50.820 for basic safety.
01:18:52.380 The second story we heard about that we had never heard is Bonna testified that she was
01:18:59.060 on the beach with Cassie and Diddy was there and that he came up to her and spoke close to
01:19:05.660 her in her face and said that, I am your devil and I can kill you.
01:19:12.280 Oh, man.
01:19:14.340 And she said that it freaked her out.
01:19:16.060 It terrified her.
01:19:17.580 But she was, I am your devil and I can kill you.
01:19:19.820 Yeah.
01:19:20.360 Asked, you know, why did you continue to hang out with Diddy after that?
01:19:24.300 And she said, I don't know.
01:19:27.100 Clout, stupid females.
01:19:28.700 Stupid.
01:19:29.180 Usual.
01:19:29.320 Why did you continue to hang out with Cassie after that?
01:19:34.940 I don't know.
01:19:36.680 Now, her testimony seems like someone who is somewhat affected in the sense that she talks
01:19:45.180 softly.
01:19:46.300 She talks like someone who's suffering, who has suffered through some trauma.
01:19:50.680 I am not speculating.
01:19:51.900 There's been no talk that that trauma has come at the hands of the defendant or from other
01:19:56.500 things in her life.
01:19:57.400 So I'm certainly not speculating about that, but I just want to convey to you the feeling
01:20:02.320 that she, that she gives when she's testifying, that her voice sounds very soft.
01:20:07.520 A lot of the questions seem borderline leading, if not really leading in order to try to elicit
01:20:12.840 her testimony.
01:20:14.460 And we, her testimony began the opening statement that she made when she was asked to, you know,
01:20:21.140 state your name.
01:20:22.420 Do you know Diddy?
01:20:23.280 Yes.
01:20:23.600 How do you know Diddy?
01:20:24.800 He tried hanging me.
01:20:26.080 He, he tried, he, he, he, he, he, he hanged me over the 17th floor of a balcony window.
01:20:31.720 That's how her testimony started.
01:20:33.360 Now we had heard talk in opening statements that.
01:20:36.380 And we heard this from a couple of other people as well.
01:20:40.840 And the thing also that's interesting is like a lot of these people have lawsuits out
01:20:45.120 there.
01:20:45.260 So that's how we've heard a lot of this information prior to the trial.
01:20:48.940 Crazy stuff, man.
01:20:50.320 Diddy had dangled a woman off the balcony of a window.
01:20:53.900 And there was some testimony from Cassie and a third party.
01:20:58.820 I'm trying to remember.
01:20:59.680 I think it, I think it was Deontay, but I'm not sure.
01:21:02.360 I don't recall precisely about the Banna on the balcony with Diddy incident.
01:21:08.280 But now we're, but the Cassie wasn't there when it happened.
01:21:11.580 Hey guys, we only got 859 likes.
01:21:13.240 Let's get to a thousand, my ninja.
01:21:14.560 Smash that like button.
01:21:16.060 Okay.
01:21:16.460 Let's get to a thousand.
01:21:17.540 No one seemed to have been there aside from Banna.
01:21:20.020 So we're going to have to hear from her.
01:21:21.840 And the question is how much credibility she's going to have.
01:21:25.320 She is a drug user.
01:21:26.540 So that's going to be tough.
01:21:27.560 It's doing a lot of drugs.
01:21:28.720 She admits that she was on cocaine when, when Diddy gave her that made that purportedly
01:21:34.160 made that threat that he could kill her.
01:21:36.620 So the question of her credibility is something that we certainly should foresee.
01:21:41.580 The defense is going to try and attack because she's.
01:21:43.980 Oh yeah, they definitely are.
01:21:45.020 They're a hundred percent about a cooker on that.
01:21:47.360 Oh really?
01:21:48.000 This happened.
01:21:48.580 Okay.
01:21:48.920 Tell me, were you high when this happened?
01:21:51.680 So yeah.
01:21:52.840 Seems as if she has done a lot of drugs.
01:21:55.200 She's admitted that she's done a lot of drugs.
01:21:57.160 And even on the stand, she seems, she seems very soft and almost a little bit lost.
01:22:03.940 So it'll be interesting to see how the defense attacks, but one would expect that they're
01:22:08.340 going to attack the reliability of her memory, given the volume of drugs that she's admitted
01:22:13.020 to having consumed.
01:22:14.400 That's what I've gotten to you so far.
01:22:16.020 All right.
01:22:16.860 So let's see if the, what's the afternoon testimony was.
01:22:19.680 All right, let's go back to the Law and Crime Network real quick.
01:22:31.400 If there's anything else.
01:22:37.820 Yeah, this is Screaming Woman.
01:22:39.020 All right, let's go real quick.
01:22:55.420 Portnoy, apparently this happened earlier today.
01:22:57.260 I want to watch this argument.
01:22:59.100 Portnoy got pissed off with some of these guys.
01:23:01.400 Let's go ahead and go into this and then we'll cover the big, beautiful bill after this.
01:23:04.460 I think right now you probably don't do it.
01:23:08.060 Okay, nothing, nothing.
01:23:09.460 Silence everything.
01:23:10.900 What do you, every comedian, don't tell a joke about it.
01:23:13.660 Because, like, dude, that's how the world works.
01:23:15.880 I agree with you.
01:23:16.560 Go back to your question.
01:23:18.080 When does freedom of speech impinge freedom of religion?
01:23:19.460 That was your question, not mine.
01:23:20.480 That was your question, not mine.
01:23:21.180 Answer it.
01:23:22.700 How many deaths?
01:23:23.880 Yeah.
01:23:25.200 I don't, I don't, I don't have a good, I don't have an answer.
01:23:27.160 Like how, in America, American citizens.
01:23:29.820 What's your answer to that question?
01:23:30.560 Now, now, now.
01:23:32.460 We're there.
01:23:32.800 So now, so now what?
01:23:33.920 So now what do we do?
01:23:34.620 So maybe, maybe you stop with the fucking Jew jokes and act like it's not a big deal when
01:23:39.340 someone does fuck the Jews in a bar.
01:23:41.400 Or, bro, this guy's such a bitch.
01:23:43.560 No, I, but I, here's the thing.
01:23:44.920 Bro, Dave Portnoy is such an unlikable fucking scumbag, dude.
01:23:48.080 Like, the dude is literally just, like, bro, you eat pizza, man.
01:23:52.900 Like, you're a pizza taster, bro.
01:23:54.500 You're like a typical fucking, you know, frat bro, pizza eating, weed smoking, alcoholic,
01:24:06.220 degenerate fucking loser, man.
01:24:08.260 Like, bro, like nobody watches Barstool Sports anymore, man.
01:24:13.000 These guys haven't been popping since, like, the early 2010s, 2013.
01:24:15.620 That's, like, when they were at their peak.
01:24:17.720 Right?
01:24:18.180 But, like, this guy, bro, and the crazy part is, like, he signed with Rumble.
01:24:21.680 He, like, made it, he did a partnership deal with Rumble.
01:24:23.740 And it's like, bro, you're over here crying about freedom of speech?
01:24:26.140 Like, or you're trying to impeach on freedom of speech because it offends you because they're
01:24:29.520 making fun of them boys?
01:24:32.080 Like, bro, that makes zero sense.
01:24:34.940 That makes zero sense why he's so fucking sensitive.
01:24:37.560 Dang.
01:24:38.580 I'm with you a thousand percent.
01:24:39.900 Bro, people shit on Muslims every fucking day.
01:24:41.920 You don't see me going crazy.
01:24:43.360 You should, like, fucking kick those people out.
01:24:45.080 Of course you should.
01:24:45.520 I'm not talking about kicking them out.
01:24:47.160 I'm talking about.
01:24:47.720 You want to go to jail?
01:24:48.680 Like, what do you want?
01:24:49.660 Like, those guys.
01:24:50.980 You are defending this guy, Mick, for what he said right after that happened.
01:24:54.980 He's not anti-Semitic.
01:24:55.880 Yes, he is.
01:24:57.020 If your brain goes in.
01:24:58.380 Look at this fucking guy.
01:24:59.300 He's anti-Semitic.
01:25:01.740 I'm not defending him, Dave.
01:25:02.840 What I'm saying is you should have him on here or somebody else like that.
01:25:06.300 Why?
01:25:06.720 And fight with him because then you have a conversation.
01:25:08.880 That's what this idiot wants.
01:25:10.720 Dave, these guys wrote the thing at the bar.
01:25:12.920 Fuck the Jews, right?
01:25:13.820 Yes.
01:25:14.320 You're going to fucking fly them to Auschwitz.
01:25:16.580 Some guy tweets at you or something.
01:25:17.640 You want to fucking.
01:25:18.860 He's not.
01:25:19.280 It was a bar.
01:25:20.400 I own.
01:25:21.300 It was a bar.
01:25:22.100 I own.
01:25:22.220 They should have been kicked out.
01:25:23.280 So my thing.
01:25:24.320 Yeah.
01:25:24.860 Kick them out.
01:25:25.940 Don't let them back in.
01:25:27.120 But for you to go ahead and make like a whole big post about it and put the kid on blast.
01:25:31.580 Bro, the kid that he put on blast.
01:25:33.780 And give me one sec.
01:25:35.180 Give me one sec.
01:25:35.580 Thank you.
01:26:05.580 I had to get some protein chips, ninjas, and some blueberries.
01:26:27.180 Well, watch this thing, then I'll break it down.
01:26:31.020 No, it's not just kick out, Kirk.
01:26:32.960 Are you ignoring what's going on in the world right now?
01:26:34.860 No, I'm not.
01:26:35.220 Dave, what do you want to do with those guys in the bar?
01:26:40.020 Put them in jail for 50 years?
01:26:41.600 Fine.
01:26:42.140 I didn't say that.
01:26:43.960 You're quite literally changing everything you say.
01:26:46.460 Kirk, if you just want me to kick them out and not mention it,
01:26:49.440 not care that this kid is anti-Semitic, shut up.
01:26:52.900 If you just want me to ignore it.
01:26:54.340 Don't tell me to shut up.
01:26:55.980 Shut the fuck up, you bald fuck.
01:26:58.440 Okay, go ahead.
01:26:59.580 How's that?
01:27:00.400 Oh, it's kill.
01:27:00.960 I'll never recover from that, Dave.
01:27:02.320 Go ahead, continue.
01:27:03.220 I'll never recover.
01:27:05.380 Bro, and this is one of his employees, bro.
01:27:08.380 Look at how he's treating this guy on air in front of everybody.
01:27:10.940 Like, this all started, guys, going back in time a little bit.
01:27:16.280 This is what happened.
01:27:23.240 Some college kids are at a bar celebrating a birthday in Philadelphia.
01:27:27.660 A couple of the kids pitch in and get a bottle.
01:27:30.120 And when they get the bottle, you know how the bottle girls bring out the little sign
01:27:32.340 and they're, you know, putting it up and down and shit like this?
01:27:34.800 The sign said, fuck the Jews.
01:27:35.880 A Twitter account called Stop Anti-Semitism tags Dave Portnoy and says, hey, are you aware
01:27:44.340 that this sign was at your bar?
01:27:48.560 Portnoy makes a video fuming saying that he's going to find out everyone that was involved
01:27:55.080 and go after them.
01:27:56.900 So he finds out the two bottle girls that were responsible for bringing out the thing,
01:28:00.640 fires them.
01:28:02.140 He finds out who the people were that bought the fucking bottle, contacts them.
01:28:06.580 Then one of the kids he put on blast, right?
01:28:09.700 And put his real name out there and shit.
01:28:14.060 The kid that he put out there, he did not buy the bottle.
01:28:18.720 He simply recorded it for his Instagram story.
01:28:21.620 And that Instagram story is one one viral that Stop Anti-Semitism posted and gave to Dave.
01:28:26.060 So the kid posted a story because he was in the section.
01:28:30.920 Stop Anti-Semitism gets that clip, puts it on Twitter, tags Dave Portnoy.
01:28:36.540 Portnoy sees a video.
01:28:37.360 He gets angry over a joke saying, fuck the Jews with a bottle sign that this kid didn't
01:28:42.980 pay for.
01:28:44.360 Kid's life gets ruined.
01:28:45.740 He's a college student at Temple, gets suspended from the school, loses internship.
01:28:53.620 Portnoy says, oh, you got to go to the Holocaust Museum or you got to go to Auschwitz.
01:28:58.360 Excuse me.
01:28:58.840 You got to go to Auschwitz.
01:29:00.760 And he says that him and Robert Kraft are going to pay for it.
01:29:03.780 If you don't know who Robert Kraft is, yeah, one of them.
01:29:06.940 Also owner of the Patriots.
01:29:08.740 Also got caught in a fucking sex trafficking ring.
01:29:11.620 But that's a whole other conversation.
01:29:12.820 He was at like some fucking rub and tug spot.
01:29:15.780 Old pervert.
01:29:17.340 But anyway, he says, we're going to go ahead and send you to Auschwitz.
01:29:21.220 They agree to be sent to Auschwitz in exchange for him not destroying the kid's life.
01:29:27.140 Damage is already done.
01:29:28.440 He's like, fuck it.
01:29:28.980 I'm not going to go to Auschwitz anymore, et cetera.
01:29:31.660 Then he's in Canada eating pizza and somebody drives by and says, fuck the Jews, right?
01:29:37.980 To piss him off because he made such a big fucking spectacle of this shit.
01:29:41.140 And he gets all irate.
01:29:43.760 And there's like kids in the back recording him as he's eating the pizza.
01:29:46.300 And they say, fuck the Jews.
01:29:47.000 And he's like, what?
01:29:47.380 Is that fucking funny?
01:29:48.720 And he gets all fucking mad.
01:29:51.160 Now he's running this broadcast with guys that work for him, it seems.
01:29:55.360 And even his co-workers are like, bro, you're kind of taking this shit a little too seriously, bro.
01:30:00.120 You know what I mean?
01:30:00.540 You want him to go to jail?
01:30:01.200 Whatever.
01:30:01.420 Just kick him out your bar.
01:30:02.320 It is what it is.
01:30:03.060 And that's where this argument comes from.
01:30:05.800 Give me one of the chat.
01:30:06.440 The lore makes sense now.
01:30:07.560 Now you guys understand where the fuck this conversation, how this conversation started
01:30:10.860 like this.
01:30:17.460 This idiot, Vallejo Santos-Mario, need more than protein chips, dude.
01:30:20.940 Shut the fuck up, bro.
01:30:24.860 That's why you're a fat ass.
01:30:26.140 I guarantee your fucking stomach is like a pitcher's mound, you bitch ass nigga.
01:30:29.700 You sitting here probably eating a taco right now as we speak, Santos.
01:30:32.660 Can't even do a pull-up.
01:30:37.300 Try to tell me what to eat.
01:30:38.120 Shut the fuck up.
01:30:40.340 All right, let's keep going.
01:30:41.760 You're the one who's like, oh, big boss man, don't tell.
01:30:44.080 I'll tell you, you work for me.
01:30:45.340 Okay, go ahead, continue.
01:30:46.440 You little bitch, you work for me.
01:30:47.540 Sure.
01:30:48.240 Wow.
01:30:49.300 Let's rewind this a little bit.
01:30:50.340 I tweeted you something.
01:30:51.160 You want to fucking...
01:30:52.420 Kirk, it was a bar I owned.
01:30:54.860 It was a bar I owned.
01:30:55.720 They should have been kicked out.
01:30:56.680 And that's why he was mad.
01:30:58.140 Because he owned the bar.
01:30:58.800 So, but my thing is...
01:30:59.920 No, it's not just kick out, Kirk.
01:31:01.260 Kirk, are you ignoring what's going on in the world right now?
01:31:03.180 No, I'm not.
01:31:03.800 Dave, what do you want to do to those guys?
01:31:06.160 You don't think it's related?
01:31:07.000 What do you want to do with those guys in the bar?
01:31:08.480 Kirk, Kirk, Kirk.
01:31:08.720 Put them in jail for 50 years?
01:31:09.860 Kirk, Kirk.
01:31:10.080 Fine.
01:31:10.600 I don't care.
01:31:11.200 I didn't say that.
01:31:12.440 You're quite literally changing everything you say.
01:31:14.920 Kirk, if you just want me to kick him out and not mention it, not care that this kid
01:31:18.920 is anti-Semitic, shut up.
01:31:21.300 If you just want me to ignore it...
01:31:22.800 Don't tell me to shut up.
01:31:24.400 Don't tell me to shut up.
01:31:24.660 Shut the fuck up, you bald fuck.
01:31:26.860 Okay, go ahead.
01:31:28.040 How's that?
01:31:28.860 Oh, it's kill.
01:31:29.380 I'll never recover from that, Dave.
01:31:30.780 Go ahead, continue.
01:31:31.700 I'll never recover.
01:31:32.620 Well, you're the one who's like, oh, big boss man, don't tell.
01:31:35.060 I'll tell you, you work for me.
01:31:36.300 Okay, go ahead.
01:31:36.940 Continue.
01:31:37.400 You little bitch, you work for me.
01:31:38.520 Sure, you bet.
01:31:39.380 For now.
01:31:39.840 Wow.
01:31:40.880 Oh, you don't?
01:31:41.960 For now, quit.
01:31:43.040 I don't care.
01:31:43.340 I'll say 500 grams.
01:31:44.720 Is this show or not a show?
01:31:45.960 Like, is this show or not a show?
01:31:46.940 Like, we can't have a conversation?
01:31:48.800 You're an idiot.
01:31:49.940 Okay, continue.
01:31:50.440 You're literally saying people should be allowed to make Jew jokes, say whatever they want,
01:31:54.560 right fucking now.
01:31:55.520 Yes, I think people should be allowed to make jokes.
01:31:57.420 So how many motherfucking Jews have to be killed before you stop?
01:32:02.720 Everybody, I don't think, what else, where else is that happening with the religion or
01:32:07.600 people?
01:32:08.140 I don't think those, those psychopaths, I'm with you, they're.
01:32:11.660 Bro, how many fucking Muslims get killed every day, bro?
01:32:15.780 How many times have we bombed Yemen?
01:32:17.760 How many times have we given aid to countries that are killing Muslims all the fucking time?
01:32:21.740 We still make Muslim jokes all day.
01:32:27.260 Bro, this is just fucking crazy unawareness.
01:32:30.900 Dave Pornart, just so you guys know, is stupid.
01:32:33.080 Bro said that I'm going to send him to Auschwitz.
01:32:34.980 He didn't even know it was in Poland.
01:32:36.000 He said he thought it was in Germany.
01:32:37.900 Well, this guy's a retard, bro.
01:32:39.720 They're scumbags.
01:32:40.460 They're the worst people on the earth.
01:32:41.940 Should, should that.
01:32:42.560 You don't think it's all related?
01:32:44.600 But Dave, you're telling a comedian not to make a joke?
01:32:47.660 This is not a comedian.
01:32:48.740 I'm with you, I'm with you, but you said stop all jokes.
01:32:52.700 Jew jokes of that nature right now.
01:32:55.680 We'll ban you jokes of that nature.
01:32:57.960 We'll get the Constitution, we'll get Congress and stop Jew jokes of that nature.
01:33:01.940 I'll go back to this.
01:33:03.440 Yeah.
01:33:04.320 When does freedom of speech impinge on freedom of religion?
01:33:09.400 I'm like freedom of speech should, I think freedom of speech is the most important thing
01:33:12.600 in this country.
01:33:13.340 Okay, so people can go kill the Jews and there's no responsibility if someone goes and kills Jews.
01:33:17.860 No, that's, that's a crime if you kill somebody.
01:33:20.720 No, no, no, but not saying, hey.
01:33:23.240 What did I fucking tell you guys?
01:33:24.880 I told you the Colorado attack.
01:33:26.500 I told you the embassy attack.
01:33:27.720 I told you that they were going to use this shit to justify censorship.
01:33:32.980 Look at Dave Pornart right now.
01:33:34.300 What is he doing?
01:33:35.040 He is trying to justify and rationalize censorship against jokes.
01:33:39.820 Once they start going after the comedians, it's all fucking downhill from their chat.
01:33:46.060 I'm telling y'all, I called this shit when it first happened.
01:33:50.100 I'm telling you guys they are going to use all these attacks to rationalize and justify
01:33:54.980 censorship of speech under the guise of anti-Semitism prevention.
01:33:59.760 That's what, that's where we're going.
01:34:00.880 You got guys like this, literally, that are members on Rumble, right, with stands for free
01:34:06.980 speech, calling for mass censorship because it hurts their feelings.
01:34:14.680 When I tell you guys that the concept of censorship in America is controlled by them boys, I mean
01:34:19.340 that shit.
01:34:21.160 And guys like Dave Pornart, they're showing their real face.
01:34:24.700 I want censorship.
01:34:25.660 You can't take jokes.
01:34:29.060 People are dying.
01:34:30.220 Shut the fuck up, bro.
01:34:31.500 People are dying every day.
01:34:33.260 You can't sit there and say, oh, the reason why group A is dying is because of jokes B.
01:34:39.300 No, bro.
01:34:41.020 Whether jokes are made or not doesn't change anything.
01:34:44.580 Those extremists that are going to commit acts of violence, they're going to commit those
01:34:47.000 acts regardless of what the fuck is going on.
01:34:48.680 Instead, what we should be doing is trying to get Israel to stop killing innocent kids
01:34:56.400 and then they might not get the negative fucking reputation that they got.
01:35:01.520 Israel did this to itself.
01:35:03.640 Again, I don't think that innocent Israelis should be hurt because of what their government
01:35:09.660 is doing.
01:35:12.480 Because unlike the Zionists, I appreciate all life.
01:35:15.220 However, I do think it takes a little bit of reflection to understand that Israel is
01:35:20.500 currently doing a genocide and killing children every single day.
01:35:25.600 And everyone reacts differently when they see dead kids on their phone.
01:35:31.700 Some people look at it like me and analyze it strategically and identify where the problems
01:35:37.180 are and talk about it in a way where you guys can kind of understand.
01:35:41.900 Right.
01:35:42.160 And talk about the conflict, how we got here, et cetera.
01:35:43.900 Other people might not be as analytical as me.
01:35:47.640 Other people might not be as pragmatic as me.
01:35:50.220 Other people might get emotional and get angry and do some stupid shit, as we've seen with
01:35:53.500 some of these fucking radical leftists.
01:35:55.840 Because leftists in general push for violence and they're idiots and they can't control their
01:36:00.540 emotions.
01:36:00.920 But Portnoy needs to understand that this environment, this situation that we have going on right
01:36:10.440 now, this rise in anti-Semitism as him and Jonathan Greenblatt and all these other idiots want
01:36:15.040 to cry about on the internet.
01:36:15.920 But this is a direct result based on the actions of the Israeli government.
01:36:23.280 We have to be able to identify the problems to solve the problem.
01:36:25.680 The Israeli government is committing war crimes as we speak.
01:36:33.000 The mass starvation, elimination and destruction of an area that houses two million plus people
01:36:43.360 where 50 percent of the population are children.
01:36:46.560 Guess what?
01:36:48.620 People are not going to like that, Dave.
01:36:50.960 And you're so much of an idiot that you don't even understand the conflict.
01:36:53.940 You don't know anything about what's going on in Palestine.
01:36:55.740 You don't know anything about Gaza.
01:36:56.840 You probably can't even put Gaza out on a map, if I'm going to be honest.
01:37:02.500 You don't understand the conflict.
01:37:03.780 So, the first step to dealing with this rise in anti-Semitism, as they say, is we got to
01:37:15.800 go at the problem directly.
01:37:17.420 And the problem is the mass extermination of innocent people in Gaza.
01:37:21.620 That is why everyone is mad.
01:37:23.480 That is why an international community condemns Israel.
01:37:25.880 That is why college students are protesting all across the country.
01:37:28.880 This is why governments all across the world are condemning Benjamin Nanyal's actions.
01:37:33.200 This is why the ICC issued an arrest warrant for Israel.
01:37:36.220 They don't want to take accountability.
01:37:38.720 That's the problem.
01:37:39.700 They don't want to take accountability.
01:37:42.020 They want to write everything off as fucking self-defense.
01:37:50.640 So, we're quickly getting to a position here where these Zionists are going to push and
01:38:01.640 advocate for more censorship.
01:38:02.600 Jonathan Greenblatt was just on CNN yesterday talking about censorship.
01:38:06.700 I'll pull the video up for you guys here.
01:38:08.120 Hey, go kill Jews.
01:38:09.220 That's different.
01:38:09.900 No, no.
01:38:10.780 What do you mean?
01:38:11.660 You can say somebody should go kill Jews.
01:38:14.700 You don't do it, but someone hears you and goes do it.
01:38:16.740 You're fine with that?
01:38:18.400 Nobody said that, though.
01:38:20.860 Why is pornoi fucking mischaracterizing fucking quotes, man?
01:38:24.620 Always taking it to the extreme.
01:38:26.840 Somebody says go kill Jews?
01:38:28.560 Yes.
01:38:28.840 No, that's different than telling.
01:38:30.180 I thought we were talking about telling.
01:38:30.900 Yeah, bro.
01:38:31.500 Obviously, everyone is fucking against saying stupid shit like that.
01:38:35.120 But again, they always make it extreme, bro.
01:38:37.760 Every time.
01:38:38.560 I'm making a joke.
01:38:46.340 I thought it was all comedians.
01:38:48.320 They are all using semantics for anti-Semitism right now.
01:38:52.560 And I can tell the difference because for 20 years of doing it, I've never mentioned it, Kirk.
01:38:57.680 No, and I said to you when this thing happened.
01:38:59.460 Well, how can you not realize we're in a different time right now?
01:39:02.500 I completely realize.
01:39:03.900 And I'm sensitive to the fact that you're sensitive and I feel bad that you're-
01:39:06.080 No, you're not.
01:39:06.720 You don't get it.
01:39:07.360 That's not true.
01:39:08.120 I am-
01:39:08.500 Such a fucking bitch, man.
01:39:10.800 Such a fucking bitch, man.
01:39:12.440 Dave Portnoy really is a fucking scumbag, dude.
01:39:15.420 Dude is such a fucking pussy.
01:39:16.920 Look at how he's treating his fucking employees over jokes, man.
01:39:21.920 Over jokes, bro.
01:39:24.740 Incredible.
01:39:25.100 All right, so this suite right here, right, I'll show you guys kind of what's going on here.
01:39:31.780 Let's finish playing this clip with Portnoy and then I'll show you the next clip.
01:39:35.080 What I'm saying is it's a fine line.
01:39:37.480 I think you would agree.
01:39:38.200 I think you would agree.
01:39:39.120 So maybe you don't.
01:39:40.280 Then when you start harnessing free speech and what can be said and what can't be said-
01:39:43.700 I'm not saying throw any of these people in jail.
01:39:45.860 You want me to give this kid a pass.
01:39:49.100 No, no.
01:39:49.920 If you want-
01:39:50.780 No, what I would like you to do, in my mind, this is why I pitch it to the producers
01:39:54.780 and you disagree and you are the boss.
01:39:56.620 Like I said yesterday, it's your dime.
01:39:57.960 You own the company.
01:39:58.960 I thought it would be interesting to have somebody on who you disagree with, who I think
01:40:02.620 at the end you wouldn't disagree with that much, have a conversation, which is what I
01:40:06.120 thought you were trying to do.
01:40:07.180 Hold on one second.
01:40:08.380 Which I thought you were trying to do with bringing these guys to Auschwitz, trying to
01:40:11.240 have a conversation.
01:40:12.080 So you put a name in the face of somebody you disagree with and have an actual conversation.
01:40:24.780 So let's go to Dom.
01:40:30.240 ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt calls for strict censorship on Instagram and TikTok saying
01:40:33.900 anti-Semites must be removed once and for all.
01:40:36.540 Here's a clip.
01:40:37.200 This guy is the face of censorship in the United States of America, guys.
01:40:43.260 This guy right here.
01:40:44.020 Take a good look.
01:40:45.460 Jonathan Greenblatt is a fucking scumbag.
01:40:49.740 Scumbag.
01:40:51.960 He's head of the ADL, Anti-Defamation League, which was created to protect a pedophile
01:40:57.560 crapist named Leo Frank after he killed an innocent little girl in a pencil factory and
01:41:05.780 graped her.
01:41:07.120 That's what the ADL was created for.
01:41:09.540 It's created to defend a pedophile.
01:41:12.920 Let's see what this dumbass has got to say.
01:41:14.740 Here he is on CNN.
01:41:15.460 Beakers spreading blood libels in an environment where you have social media influencers making
01:41:21.220 baseless claims.
01:41:22.260 People like Hassan Piker over on Twitch or there's others on TikTok and Instagram saying
01:41:30.400 wild baseless things about Jews, about signs, about Israelis.
01:41:34.500 Vlad, I worry that this could even get worse.
01:41:37.280 So I think we really need tech platforms to step up and stop, you know, lifting up these
01:41:43.240 intemperate voices.
01:41:44.520 We need elected officials to speak out.
01:41:46.820 We need people from all walks of life to stand with their Jewish friends and neighbors today,
01:41:52.840 maybe show up for their own walk next weekend and say we won't be intimidated by the bigots.
01:41:57.860 Because I look at social media now and many of these platforms, I mean, the dominant characteristic
01:42:05.520 that I see is what you're describing, anti-Semitism, racism, misogyny, and the spread of misogyny.
01:42:12.820 Oh, interesting.
01:42:18.740 I wonder who he's been watching.
01:42:21.660 Not me, though, of course.
01:42:22.680 Information.
01:42:23.540 So how to combat that?
01:42:25.820 What is the ADL doing?
01:42:27.220 I mean, are you having conversations with the leaders of these companies to at least try
01:42:31.600 to remove that nefarious content from their platforms?
01:42:35.600 Yeah, Vlad, we've talked about this before over the years.
01:42:38.160 I think social media is a super spreader, as you said, of anti-Semitism and racism and
01:42:43.480 all kinds of hate.
01:42:44.620 Unfortunately, companies like X and Meta have retreated from content moderation in recent
01:42:50.760 months, introducing these community notes.
01:42:53.720 Yeah, because that's a lot better.
01:42:55.140 Nobody wants censorship, bro.
01:42:56.800 Nobody wants fucking censorship, man.
01:42:58.560 Like, it's always you fucking losers that call for censorship, man.
01:43:01.500 Which is by no means a panacea.
01:43:03.280 I mean, Vlad, it's a little crazy that the most sophisticated, profitable companies on
01:43:07.560 the planet Earth are outsourcing content moderation to the users.
01:43:11.940 So, yeah, we are seeing a rampant, you know, just explosion of hate.
01:43:16.360 We are not only talking to the companies themselves.
01:43:19.240 We're talking to the regulators.
01:43:21.840 And just so you guys know, Jonathan Greenblatt is responsible for getting TikTok banned back
01:43:25.920 earlier this year, and Trump kept it from being banned for 24 hours.
01:43:33.280 If you guys remember, this guy right here was one of the biggest lobbyists to get TikTok
01:43:38.180 banned.
01:43:38.520 I mean, I think it is time for government to step up here.
01:43:41.920 These companies are, you know, they say too big to fail.
01:43:45.200 These companies are too big to just leave alone.
01:43:48.140 I mean, they're almost monopolistic.
01:43:49.920 And again, they allow for this unmitigated rise of the kind of hate that explodes in real
01:43:55.620 life, just like you're seeing on the screen.
01:43:57.620 So, yeah, it is time for these companies to demonstrate the same kind of accountability
01:44:02.480 that we see in other media businesses and simply, you know, knock the Nazis, knock the
01:44:08.320 anti-Zionists off the platform once and for all.
01:44:11.580 Get the fuck out of here, man.
01:44:13.240 Look, let's go ahead and do a quick little deep dive on the ADL, OK?
01:44:17.360 ADL, right?
01:44:18.760 So, here we go.
01:44:20.160 This is ADL, right?
01:44:21.980 I'm about to wake you guys up right now to how fucking censorship works in America.
01:44:24.800 The Anti-Defamation League, formerly known as Anti-Defamation League of Benite Birth,
01:44:28.160 is a New York-based international non-governmental organization that was founded to combat anti-semitism
01:44:32.560 as well as form bigotry and discrimination, right?
01:44:35.140 He's the current CEO.
01:44:36.740 Now, when was it formed?
01:44:38.780 Let's see here.
01:44:40.020 It was created...
01:44:43.240 They're not going to talk about...
01:44:44.380 OK, September 1913, right?
01:44:46.980 Now, it was created to protect this guy, Leo Frank, OK, was an American lynching victim
01:44:53.320 convicted in 1913 of the murder of 13-year-old Mary Fagan, an employee in effect in Atlanta,
01:44:58.780 Georgia, where he was the superintendent.
01:45:00.800 Frank's trial, conviction, and unsuccessful appeals attracted national attention.
01:45:03.640 His kidnapping from the prison and lynching became the focus of social, regional, political,
01:45:06.900 and racial concerns, particularly regarding anti-Semitism.
01:45:10.200 Modern researchers generally agree that Frank was wrongly convicted.
01:45:12.620 Yeah, OK, bro.
01:45:14.440 Basically, this guy was one of them boys, right?
01:45:17.300 And he was tried and convicted for killing and graping a little girl, Mary Fagan, OK?
01:45:27.700 That's why the ADL was created, to basically support this fucking guy, right?
01:45:34.380 That's what the ADL is, Chad.
01:45:36.740 That's the dark history of this piece-of-shit parasitic organization that is trying to take
01:45:40.900 your rights away of freedom of speech, because that's what the ADL does, right?
01:45:44.900 They go after people that are critical of Israel, people that are critical of them boys and
01:45:49.140 their power and American influence, and they label everything as evil anti-Semitism, right?
01:45:55.720 So this is the problem.
01:45:58.320 You got guys like Dave Portnoy and now Jonathan Greenblatt pushing for mass censorship on social
01:46:03.160 media platforms because their feelings.
01:46:05.560 Once they start going out to the comedians, it's a rap chat.
01:46:08.640 It's a rap.
01:46:10.240 That's where we are right now.
01:46:12.080 That's where we are.
01:46:13.460 That's why I'm so big when I tell you guys, don't fucking condone violence.
01:46:18.980 Because whenever these fucking radical leftists or anybody conducts acts of violence, guess
01:46:24.340 what?
01:46:24.860 It justifies their position more.
01:46:27.840 We're not going to win this with violence, guys.
01:46:29.420 We're going to win this with ideas, with discourse, with debate.
01:46:33.560 Look, they're already scared.
01:46:34.440 They're already terrified.
01:46:35.720 Oh, we need a set to everybody.
01:46:37.400 Ah, you don't need violence.
01:46:38.940 You got the truth on your side.
01:46:40.500 And if you do commit acts of violence, all you do is prop up these dickheads to justify
01:46:45.440 more censorship.
01:46:46.940 When the Colorado attack happened, when the embassy attack happened, all these idiots went
01:46:50.400 to mainstream television saying, we need more censorship.
01:46:52.800 We need more censorship.
01:46:54.080 Benjamin Netanyahu puts out a fucking address.
01:46:55.760 Anti-Semitism is on the rise.
01:46:58.040 Israel must defend itself.
01:46:59.020 This is why we are warring against Hamas.
01:47:01.000 They are using it to fit their political agendas.
01:47:03.620 Do you not see that, Chad?
01:47:05.900 Do you not see that?
01:47:08.580 So anyone that advocates for violence against the Jewish people needs to be completely ostracized.
01:47:16.700 Don't talk to that individual.
01:47:17.740 Don't deal with that individual whatsoever.
01:47:19.120 Because they're actually doing what the Zionists want, which is to impede on your freedom of
01:47:28.180 speech.
01:47:28.940 We know that they practice the Hannibal Directive.
01:47:31.080 We know that the Israeli government doesn't give a fuck about its people.
01:47:33.700 We know that they killed a bunch of them on October 7th.
01:47:36.280 We know that the Apache helicopters shot the concert goers.
01:47:38.560 We know that the tanks were shooting into the kibbutzes.
01:47:41.500 They don't care about their people.
01:47:43.400 They don't care about any life, really.
01:47:44.860 They care about Israeli life a little bit, and then they care about Palestinian life even less
01:47:47.620 than that.
01:47:47.880 But if it could help them fit their agenda to push mass censorship, to justify wars across
01:47:53.400 the Middle East, to justify hegemony in the Middle East, under the guise of self-defense,
01:48:00.100 any type of domestic action that occurs in the United States, whether it be a terrorist
01:48:05.600 attack, a shooting, any of this stuff, is what they want.
01:48:11.180 How do you guys think we end up becoming a police state like we are now?
01:48:13.840 America entered the surveillance state after 9-11.
01:48:20.540 The United States government had information that Osama bin Laden was going to attack the
01:48:25.820 United States for years.
01:48:27.640 They had been watching him since the 90s.
01:48:28.940 And they had sent warnings to the White House all 2001, saying that attacks were imminent and
01:48:38.020 that they might use planes.
01:48:39.460 They couldn't give a date or a time, but they knew that it was coming.
01:48:43.640 Well, what ended up happening after 9-11?
01:48:46.280 The Patriot Act was ushered in.
01:48:48.460 We were able to start collecting information on U.S. citizens.
01:48:50.680 The Department of Homeland Security was created.
01:48:53.600 We launched a war into Iraq and war on terrorism and invaded the Middle East.
01:49:01.920 So, terrorism attacks against innocent people, it's almost always weaponized by higher level
01:49:11.340 powers to justify and rationalize putting in new procedures or laws.
01:49:20.560 And right now, with the embassy shootings, with the Colorado attacker, or anything else that comes
01:49:27.620 after this, it is going to be used to rationalize censorship and encroaching upon your First Amendment
01:49:39.000 rights of free speech.
01:49:41.220 That's what's happening, chat.
01:49:42.920 That's what's happening.
01:49:44.300 Even a retard like Dave Portnoy, who doesn't understand the law whatsoever, doesn't understand
01:49:47.880 this conflict in the Middle East, is over here speaking up.
01:49:51.900 So, hey, man.
01:49:55.140 Don't say I didn't warn you.
01:49:58.020 Let's see here.
01:49:59.820 We got, like Myron said, it's only freedom of speech when it benefits them.
01:50:03.420 Fuck these herbs.
01:50:04.280 Myron, you have an Amazon basket so we can buy Frank some treats.
01:50:07.780 Uh, I don't have an Amazon basket.
01:50:10.800 Um, let's see here.
01:50:13.740 Uh, Unforgiven says, the only thing worse than freedom to the guilty is killing the innocent
01:50:17.240 and leaving your soul filthy.
01:50:19.620 Myron, can we host this rate?
01:50:20.780 Portnoy stream?
01:50:21.280 I think he's asking us to.
01:50:24.540 Nah.
01:50:26.940 Huh.
01:50:27.780 Yeah, fuck Dave Portnoy.
01:50:29.520 Alright.
01:50:29.780 Um, Alboy says, this guy's a maggot.
01:50:35.280 Jonathan Green, whatever.
01:50:39.540 D. Almeida says, WMRWFrankWCats, you and Frank are my favorite racist Sudanese-American influencer.
01:50:44.100 Okay.
01:50:44.920 Uh, for real, I really admire you and your work.
01:50:47.500 Uh, Frank needs a sibling.
01:50:48.740 Get Angie to look up Scottish fold cats.
01:50:50.480 They're cute, friendly, and great temperament.
01:50:53.280 Um, Alboy said, a lot of people are awake now.
01:50:56.180 Uh, all of, all I see on IG reels now are super-based stuff regarding them boys, mustache
01:51:00.740 man, sexual dynamics, and female nature.
01:51:02.660 And all the comments on the vids are aggrimming.
01:51:04.520 We can only hope it's too late, uh, to censor them now.
01:51:07.540 Yeah, and that's what I'm saying.
01:51:09.100 Like, we got the truth on our side chat.
01:51:10.960 There's no need to do anything, um, we don't need violence.
01:51:15.440 You don't need violence and you got the truth on your side.
01:51:17.360 We can change the public perception with our voices.
01:51:21.040 We protest, we boycott, we make content, we bring awareness to people.
01:51:26.180 We promote documentaries that tell the truth.
01:51:28.360 That's all we got to do, man.
01:51:29.460 Use our voice.
01:51:31.160 Okay, so let's go into the big, beautiful bill.
01:51:33.120 All right, so, um, real quick, as you guys know, uh, Donald Trump is working on this,
01:51:37.000 uh, the one big, beautiful bill.
01:51:38.920 And, uh, it's a comprehensive package of legislation passed by the House of Representatives
01:51:43.120 in May 2025, encompassing various provisions, including tax cuts, border security measures,
01:51:46.900 and cuts to the Medicaid program.
01:51:49.100 It seeks to extend and expand the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, adds new tax deductions,
01:51:54.640 and allocates funding for border security, and includes provisions for Medicaid reform.
01:51:59.220 Okay, here's a more detailed breakdown.
01:52:00.560 So, tax provisions.
01:52:01.640 The bill makes permanent the 2017 tax cuts, which include lower individual and corporate
01:52:05.180 tax rates, increased standard deductions, and other changes.
01:52:07.520 Now, let's be honest here, guys.
01:52:08.500 We all know, right?
01:52:10.360 Republicans always have corporation tax cuts.
01:52:12.280 And I know some of you guys are going to say, why, why the fuck are they going and giving
01:52:15.580 tax cuts to the corporations?
01:52:17.600 The reason why, guys, is the philosophy from the Republican side, and this is what they
01:52:21.520 always vote on this, right?
01:52:23.280 The philosophy is, with corporate tax cuts, you allow the company to get larger profit
01:52:29.540 margins.
01:52:30.040 Larger profit margins means that they're going to invest back into the business, right?
01:52:33.180 And hire more people, right?
01:52:35.400 It's more of a trickle-down effect, which I do agree with to some degree, right?
01:52:39.260 It helps with forging jobs.
01:52:43.040 Now, a lot of Democrats would disagree with this concept, but, you know, here's what it
01:52:47.200 is.
01:52:47.780 And includes provisions for no tax on tips and no tax on overtime, creating new individual
01:52:51.720 tax income deductions for qualified tips on overtime pay.
01:52:55.440 It's also increasing funding for border security, right?
01:52:58.600 And then Medicaid reform.
01:53:00.480 So, let's go ahead.
01:53:01.800 This video does a really good job of explaining it, because I know some of you guys might not
01:53:04.560 be too familiar with how, you know, passing bills works in America.
01:53:09.480 So, let's watch this little video for you guys, and we'll, you know, give some commentary.
01:53:14.380 ...right now.
01:53:15.220 And it's all about whether President Trump's big, beautiful bill will pass.
01:53:20.360 The House of Representatives already...
01:53:22.260 And also, just so you guys know, Elon Musk is not happy with this bill, because it's going
01:53:26.960 to increase the debt.
01:53:28.660 It's going to increase the deficit.
01:53:29.580 And what Elon Musk came in with Doge, his job was to create, was to save money, right?
01:53:37.000 The Department of Government Efficiency.
01:53:39.060 His job was literally to come in there and save money for the government.
01:53:41.960 But this bill is going to kind of undo a lot of the shit that he did with Doge.
01:53:45.180 So, Elon Musk has not been happy about this whatsoever.
01:53:48.220 And I'll show you guys real quick one of his posts on this shit.
01:53:57.120 Right?
01:53:57.480 Let me show you guys real fast.
01:54:00.460 Here he is.
01:54:04.420 Look, 3.7 trillion, that's how much our leaders forecast the reconciliation bill will cost.
01:54:09.220 10% of national debt in one bill, our government is out of control, CNN saying...
01:54:12.180 See how he's reposting all this shit when it comes to bills?
01:54:15.180 Thomas Massey.
01:54:16.180 So, all the Republicans voted on this, by the way.
01:54:18.440 And, like, Thomas Massey and, like, two other Republicans did not vote for this bill.
01:54:23.100 But the big, beautiful bill is the debt bomb ticking.
01:54:25.160 It's also the biggest missed opportunity conservatives have ever had to put our country back on track of fiscal sanity.
01:54:31.820 If we defeat this bill, a better one can be offered.
01:54:34.440 So, X filed a federal lawsuit against individuals for attempting to abuse X creator revenue sharing program by posting inauthentic content and fake engagement metrics.
01:54:41.580 What the fuck?
01:54:42.200 Okay, whatever.
01:54:43.880 Look, this spending bill contains the largest increase in death ceiling in U.S. history.
01:54:46.940 Look, that was 27 minutes ago.
01:54:49.080 So, he's...
01:54:50.080 Musk is not happy, chat.
01:54:51.460 He's been complaining about this fucking bill all day.
01:54:55.000 Right?
01:54:55.540 Kill the bill.
01:54:56.260 Bankrupt the America is not okay.
01:54:57.400 Literally.
01:54:58.220 And, guys, he just resigned or he just left the White House.
01:55:01.880 So, this is a 180 degree turn from what he was doing before.
01:55:07.260 So, he is not happy whatsoever.
01:55:09.140 I think a bill could be bigger and beautiful.
01:55:10.480 I don't think if it could be both.
01:55:11.640 Right?
01:55:12.620 So, Megyn Kelly, Elon Musk is the greatest free speech warrior in the modern world.
01:55:18.760 That's not true.
01:55:19.520 Megyn Kelly is a retard.
01:55:20.800 Elon Musk has become so important in expanding the national debate.
01:55:22.820 Okay, so, of course, he's going to post this thing of this war.
01:55:25.420 Because he sends out strange tweets sometimes.
01:55:28.000 And so, who cares?
01:55:29.120 This guy is the greatest free speech warrior that we have in the modern day world.
01:55:33.860 Because of...
01:55:34.460 No, that goes to Chris Pawlowski.
01:55:38.420 The owner of Rumble.
01:55:40.900 Not Elon Musk.
01:55:44.880 But, anyway, you guys can see here.
01:55:46.260 He's not happy with this bill.
01:55:47.460 His whole fucking page has been about this bill.
01:55:50.240 All right?
01:55:50.740 I think you guys get the idea.
01:55:51.540 And they're going to lose the Senate soon.
01:56:01.480 In midterms, probably.
01:56:03.140 I'm almost certain they're going to lose it.
01:56:05.180 So, they will not have that majority soon.
01:56:07.620 Three seats out of 100.
01:56:09.840 That means they can't afford to lose more than three votes from their own party.
01:56:13.980 If they do, the bill fails.
01:56:16.620 And no Democrats are expected to support it.
01:56:18.780 The challenge?
01:56:20.220 Republicans themselves are divided.
01:56:22.300 Some think the bill cuts...
01:56:23.940 Guys, we got 3,000 plus of you guys in here.
01:56:26.100 4,300 between everything, guys.
01:56:28.000 Do me a favor.
01:56:28.740 Smash that like button.
01:56:29.660 We're live on Rumble, Castle Club, etc.
01:56:31.700 Do me a solid like the video.
01:56:33.620 Guys, let's get to 2,000 likes.
01:56:35.680 Too much.
01:56:36.840 Especially from health programs like Medicaid.
01:56:39.240 While others argue it doesn't go far enough.
01:56:42.040 A few have even floated future cuts to Social Security as part of broader spending reforms.
01:56:47.680 That's creating real tension.
01:56:50.240 Since many Americans view Social Security as off-limits.
01:56:54.580 So, let's break it down.
01:56:55.920 What's actually in the bill?
01:56:57.120 What's being debated?
01:56:58.400 And how could it affect your benefits?
01:57:00.320 Let's take a closer look at the key proposals and the high-stakes fight unfolding in the Senate.
01:57:06.060 One of the first issues causing real disagreement among Republicans is Social Security.
01:57:11.020 While President Trump has pledged not to cut Social Security benefits,
01:57:15.860 this bill falls short of earlier promises to eliminate taxes on Social Security income.
01:57:21.720 Instead, it introduces a $4,000 standard deduction for seniors 65 and older,
01:57:28.240 but only if you make less than $75,000 as an individual or $150,000 as a couple.
01:57:34.620 That's meant to lower how much of your income is taxed.
01:57:37.020 And for many seniors, every bit of relief helps.
01:57:41.460 But this deduction is temporary and set to expire in 2028.
01:57:45.700 Still, many seniors were hoping for more,
01:57:48.780 especially the full repeal of taxes on Social Security benefits.
01:57:52.880 Some lawmakers, like Senator Ron Johnson,
01:57:55.500 have even proposed reclassifying Social Security as discretionary spending,
01:58:00.840 meaning it would need to be voted on each year,
01:58:03.400 a move that could threaten the stability of the program.
01:58:05.960 A lot of people feel like they're being taxed twice.
01:58:09.160 Once when they earn the money, and again when they retire.
01:58:12.360 The failure to fix this issue is frustrating for many,
01:58:16.380 and some lawmakers have said they want to revisit it later.
01:58:19.560 This internal split has made it hard for Republicans to agree on how far to go.
01:58:24.500 Some say the bill should do more for seniors,
01:58:27.320 while others are worried about the rising national debt.
01:58:30.420 And then there's Medicaid, another major sticking point.
01:58:33.340 If you or someone in your family uses Medicaid, here's what you need to know.
01:58:37.440 And a lot of Americans use it. A lot.
01:58:39.500 The bill proposes new work requirements for certain adults to qualify.
01:58:43.840 It also freezes provider taxes that many states use to help fund Medicaid,
01:58:48.900 especially rural states.
01:58:50.700 That means some states could lose critical funding,
01:58:54.460 making it harder to keep local clinics and small-town hospitals open.
01:58:58.660 In some areas, seniors could be forced to travel further just to access basic care,
01:59:04.360 which adds both time and cost,
01:59:06.720 something that's not always easy for those living on fixed incomes or with mobility issues.
01:59:11.900 Senators like Susan Collins from Maine and Lisa Murkowski from Alaska are speaking out.
01:59:18.020 They're worried that seniors and rural residents would be hit the hardest.
01:59:21.660 When health care access is already limited,
01:59:24.920 even small funding changes can have big effects.
01:59:28.060 Fewer doctors, longer travel, or higher costs.
01:59:31.280 In states with large rural populations,
01:59:34.080 this could quickly turn into a crisis of access.
01:59:36.400 Yeah, we don't got universal health care in the United States, guys,
01:59:38.460 so this is a big deal for a lot of people.
01:59:40.360 ...access, where seniors are unable to get timely checkups,
01:59:44.220 treatments, or medication support.
01:59:46.420 And then there's the idea of new co-pays for Medicaid users.
01:59:50.560 Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri calls it a sick tax.
01:59:55.040 He says that asking people who are already sick or poor to pay more just to see a doctor isn't fair.
02:00:01.600 And for many seniors on a fixed income,
02:00:03.840 even $5 or $10 extra could mean skipping a visit or prescription.
02:00:08.700 This change could discourage preventive care,
02:00:11.400 leading to worse health outcomes and higher costs down the road.
02:00:14.660 And, you know, this actually does bring a lot of, you know, questions out there.
02:00:19.480 You know, a lot of people on the left,
02:00:22.160 which, to be honest with you guys, I do understand their argument with this.
02:00:25.580 You know, one of the things that the left and the progressives and the Democrats always complain about
02:00:31.180 is how we have a for-profit care system, health care system.
02:00:36.360 And obviously, when you make anything for-profit, ethics tend to go out the window, right?
02:00:42.360 It starts becoming, you're basically using capitalism in a sector that shouldn't be involved with capitalism,
02:00:52.140 to some people's opinion, right?
02:00:55.360 When you are creating for-profit medical systems,
02:01:01.660 what ends up happening is this is why insurance claims get denied.
02:01:05.620 This is why, you know, you got people like Luigi Mangione going crazy
02:01:09.100 because they oppose the health care system the way that we have it here.
02:01:12.260 Because it's in their best interest to deny people care so that they can save money, right?
02:01:17.960 Like I said before, these companies have a fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders to be profitable.
02:01:23.940 So, UnitedHealthcare, right?
02:01:26.400 So, what happened?
02:01:27.120 Actually, a funny story for you guys, right?
02:01:28.780 So, after Luigi Mangione did what he did, right?
02:01:34.420 And executed the CEO of, I think, UnitedHealthcare, if I'm not mistaken,
02:01:38.660 UnitedHealthcare started to approve more claims.
02:01:41.040 Stop denying as many, right?
02:01:43.100 And the investors complained and said,
02:01:47.740 no, you guys need to start denying more of these claims.
02:01:50.500 So, the stock goes up and we're able to get more money.
02:01:53.940 And, you know, this is kind of something where I, you know,
02:01:58.860 you guys know I make fun of liberals and progressives all the time.
02:02:01.440 But this is one of their arguments and one of their stances that I would actually argue is stronger than other things, right?
02:02:05.820 The cultural stuff, like, you know, all this other bullshit.
02:02:07.840 That's lame.
02:02:08.340 Who cares about that?
02:02:09.460 You know, when it comes to the, you know, LGBT and alphabet community and pronouns, all that other shit.
02:02:14.220 That stuff is loony.
02:02:14.880 But I can see their argument when it comes to the for-profit healthcare system that we have.
02:02:20.820 I see the capitalism side, but I also see how that can create problems.
02:02:27.060 And, obviously, Medicaid is one of the only ways that a lot of these people are able to get any type of aid.
02:02:35.740 So, whenever you cut into that, it creates problems for a lot of people.
02:02:39.280 So, but, yeah, I forgot to tell you guys this, but, yeah, United Healthcare, the investors really started complaining, saying, like, yo, you need to start denying more claims.
02:02:49.720 Because after the whole Mangione event, they started proving more claims with an enormous amount of pressure.
02:02:55.080 And it brought awareness to the issues going on in our healthcare system in America.
02:03:00.000 However, like I said before, you guys know me when it comes to, like, bro, you shoot the CEO, someone else is going to step in and just keep doing the same shit.
02:03:10.340 Yeah, you got some temporary claims approved.
02:03:12.600 But, dude, again, this is why violence doesn't solve anything, man.
02:03:16.320 It just doesn't.
02:03:16.980 Beyond healthcare and taxes, the bill would also raise the debt ceiling, which is basically the country's borrowing limit.
02:03:26.800 Senator Rand Paul and others say they won't vote for that unless Congress also agrees to slash federal spending back to 2019 levels.
02:03:36.800 That's a big ask.
02:03:38.340 It would mean cuts across the board, including programs that help seniors and veterans.
02:03:43.100 Programs like housing support, transportation assistance, and nutritional programs, such as Meals on Wheels, could see funding reductions if these spending targets are enforced.
02:03:54.480 So right now, you've got moderates like Murkowski and Collins saying the bill cuts too much, and hardliners like Rand Paul saying it doesn't cut enough.
02:04:03.060 And with only 53 Republicans in the Senate, they need almost every single one to...
02:04:08.080 And also, guys, this is probably going to be the biggest piece of legislation that Trump will be able to get through.
02:04:12.200 Um, because they're going to lose the House, bro.
02:04:14.700 So, um, you know, good luck with getting anything fucking passed, um, later on.
02:04:20.180 So, this is probably going to be one of the most significant bills that Trump gets across, and there's a reason why he's doing it now.
02:04:27.880 ...say yes.
02:04:28.900 This creates a fragile balancing act where every vote counts, and just one or two defections could send the entire...
02:04:36.880 And we know Thomas Massey, who's, you know, obviously a Republican, he voted against it.
02:04:40.900 So that's already one down that we know that didn't vote for it.
02:04:44.420 ...packaged back to the drawing board.
02:04:46.520 And here's the kicker.
02:04:48.060 Even if the Senate passes the bill, it doesn't go straight to the president.
02:04:52.240 It has to go back to the House of Representatives.
02:04:55.020 If the Senate makes too many changes, the House might not agree, and the whole thing could collapse.
02:05:00.920 Yeah, that's the bureaucracy of the United States chat.
02:05:04.460 Checks and balances are fantastic, but they obviously impede the speed of bills.
02:05:09.680 But I'll tell you guys something.
02:05:10.780 You guys want to know what bills never get fucking stopped?
02:05:16.160 Yeah, those bills for that certain state in the Middle East never get opposed.
02:05:21.060 Always get bipartisan support.
02:05:22.920 That would mean more delays, more unspoken.
02:05:25.700 They will go ahead and pass a bill to give Israel money over giving support to American citizens.
02:05:34.160 Let that sink in, chat.
02:05:36.160 Say that one more time for you guys.
02:05:40.000 When it comes to bills for our greatest ally,
02:05:46.460 those get passed with no objections.
02:05:49.160 Bipartisan support right through, bam, signed.
02:05:51.780 No issue.
02:05:52.260 When it comes to bills that deal with American citizens and spending,
02:05:57.180 you know, we can change this a little bit, we can change that, you know, too much money, not enough money.
02:06:05.380 What does that tell you?
02:06:07.200 And then people get mad when I say that we don't run America.
02:06:12.220 Certainty and potentially another fight just to keep the government funded.
02:06:16.300 So what happens if it fails?
02:06:18.140 The U.S. could hit the debt ceiling later this summer.
02:06:20.700 That means the government might not have enough money to pay its bills.
02:06:25.400 Social security checks could be delayed.
02:06:28.000 Veterans benefits could be paused.
02:06:30.060 And financial markets could get rocky, which could hurt retirement accounts.
02:06:34.740 If markets drop suddenly, many seniors relying on 401k,
02:06:39.880 S, or pensions might see their nest eggs take a hit.
02:06:43.220 This isn't just a Washington issue.
02:06:45.400 It's a real concern for anyone trying to live on what they've worked for their whole lives.
02:06:49.460 We've seen this kind of fear before.
02:06:52.060 Back in April 2025, financial markets took a hit after Trump announced new tariffs on goods from China,
02:06:58.780 Mexico, and the European Union.
02:07:00.840 That single move sparked panic among investors.
02:07:04.060 In many 401k, S and retirement accounts saw sudden losses.
02:07:08.900 So when people hear that the government might not be able to pay its bills,
02:07:12.640 they worry, and for good reason.
02:07:14.560 Now, let's take a moment to clear up some confusion around Social Security.
02:07:19.080 Yeah, we're going to be paying interest only very soon, bro.
02:07:22.380 ...and Medicare.
02:07:23.840 Many people are wondering if this bill changes how much they'll receive from Social Security.
02:07:29.160 It doesn't, at least not the monthly benefit amounts.
02:07:32.640 But here's the catch.
02:07:33.960 It could still impact how those benefits are taxed.
02:07:36.540 If your income lands near the current tax thresholds,
02:07:40.620 even small changes in deductions or rules could push more of your Social Security into taxable territory.
02:07:48.300 That's frustrating for a lot of retirees who feel like they're being taxed twice.
02:07:52.820 Once when they earn the money, and again when they receive it in retirement.
02:07:56.580 And while this bill offers a new $4,000 deduction for some seniors,
02:08:01.020 it doesn't fully fix the tax problem.
02:08:03.120 It's one of those issues that keeps getting talked about, but never fully solved.
02:08:07.940 And what about Medicare?
02:08:09.160 A lot of people lump Medicare and Medicaid together, but they're different programs.
02:08:13.900 This bill doesn't change Medicare benefits, for now.
02:08:17.040 But it's always worth watching, especially as lawmakers look for ways to trim spending.
02:08:22.360 If they're already eyeing Medicaid for cuts,
02:08:24.800 Medicare might not be far behind in future negotiations.
02:08:28.400 So this is more than just another Washington debate.
02:08:31.480 In fact, it's personal, if you're retired or close to it.
02:08:34.980 This bill could affect your taxes, your health care, and your peace of mind.
02:08:39.200 All right, so here's some of the Republicans pushing back on the bill.
02:08:44.940 Unless we separate out the debt ceiling, you take the debt ceiling off the bill.
02:08:49.340 I'm a no, unless we separate out the debt ceiling, you take the debt ceiling off the bill.
02:08:54.520 I'm pretty much a yes on most of the rest of the bill.
02:08:57.200 Let's live in reality for a second.
02:08:58.840 We're running two, two trillion dollars.
02:09:05.640 This is Rick Scott, aka Hassan Piker's best friend.
02:09:08.920 Hassan Piker made a fucking comment suggesting the unaliving of this guy got banned from Twitch
02:09:15.620 for one day, bro.
02:09:17.520 Dollar deficit.
02:09:18.240 I'm telling you guys, man, liberals get away with anything, dude.
02:09:20.980 If we follow the path of the House bill, we'll have close to, I think, $60 trillion worth
02:09:25.980 of debt in 10 years, okay?
02:09:27.540 The American taxpayer has said they don't want to give us higher taxes.
02:09:30.180 They don't like the taxes we have now.
02:09:31.280 I found a video for us, by the way, guys, on Diddy.
02:09:33.160 So we will cover the day 16 of the Diddy trial as well.
02:09:36.060 They're not giving us more money.
02:09:37.240 What we've got to do is do what every family does.
02:09:39.020 We've got to go through every line of the budget.
02:09:40.260 And that is Senator Rand Paul on Capitol Hill and Senator Rick Scott with me on Mornings
02:09:44.500 with Maria this week, voicing concern with President Trump's big, beautiful bill, already
02:09:47.520 passed by the House, currently in the Senate, which the Committee for Responsible Federal
02:09:50.040 Budget says will add roughly $3 trillion to the national debt, including interest over
02:09:53.380 the next decade.
02:09:54.120 Both senators saying they cannot vote for this bill in its current form.
02:09:57.040 And this weekend at the Reagan National Economic Forum, I spoke with J.P. Morgan Chase
02:10:00.360 Chairman and CEO Jamie Dimon, who told me interest rates will spike and markets will get
02:10:04.420 disrupted once investors realize the impact of rising debt levels.
02:10:08.160 Watch.
02:10:08.240 How much are you focused on debt and deficits right now?
02:10:12.620 It's a big deal.
02:10:13.340 You know, it is a real problem.
02:10:14.560 But one day we're going to have the bond markets going to have a tough time.
02:10:17.140 I don't know if it's six months or six years.
02:10:18.560 What do you mean bond market will crack?
02:10:20.080 What does that mean?
02:10:20.900 But the public has to understand is that something like $30 trillion of securities trades every
02:10:24.540 day.
02:10:25.180 These are investors around the world.
02:10:26.300 Foreigners own $35 trillion of American securities.
02:10:29.220 They have, you know.
02:10:29.580 We're going to watch a little bit of this, guys.
02:10:30.740 Then I got some breaking news.
02:10:31.940 Trump did speak with President Putin earlier today.
02:10:35.480 So I'll pull this up and we'll talk about it.
02:10:38.240 Another $30 trillion of private investments in the United States or something like that
02:10:41.180 in the United States.
02:10:41.860 People vote with their feet.
02:10:43.060 And they're going to be looking at the country, the rule of law, the inflation rates, the central
02:10:46.660 bank policies, you know, what they want to hedge and what they don't want to hedge.
02:10:49.460 And so those rates aren't set by central banks.
02:10:51.840 They can affect them.
02:10:52.700 If people decide that the U.S. dollar isn't the place to be, yeah, you could see, you know,
02:10:55.880 spreads gap out.
02:10:56.980 You know, credit spreads gap out.
02:10:58.140 That would become a problem.
02:10:59.180 We had that during COVID.
02:11:00.420 You know, the Fed properly stepped in.
02:11:01.500 Then we had that in 2019.
02:11:02.760 We had it in 20.
02:11:03.460 It will happen again.
02:11:04.300 Good morning, Maria.
02:11:31.620 Well, first of all, let me say, I'm a big supporter of President Trump.
02:11:33.980 I know Rand Paul is.
02:11:34.700 I know Rick Scott is.
02:11:35.600 You know, we all want to see him succeed.
02:11:37.000 But at the same time, you know, I sprang out of the Tea Party movement to, you know,
02:11:39.500 campaigning in 2010, doing parades, shouting, this is a fight for freedom.
02:11:42.540 We're more during our children's future.
02:11:43.700 It's wrong.
02:11:44.120 It's immoral.
02:11:44.520 It has to stop.
02:11:45.400 We were $14 trillion in debt then.
02:11:47.300 Now we're $37 trillion.
02:11:48.480 And I think what has disappointed me about the debate that went through the House, if you
02:11:51.120 even call it that, we weren't looking at the facts and figures.
02:11:53.460 The only figure we ever heard about was $1.5 trillion.
02:11:56.220 Sounds like a lot.
02:11:57.100 But when you put it in context of the $89 trillion we're going to spend over the next
02:12:00.480 20 years, the $22 trillion in additional deficit we're going to incur, that's $2.2 trillion
02:12:04.420 per year deficit.
02:12:06.080 And it's completely unsustainable.
02:12:07.060 I agree with Jamie Dimon here.
02:12:08.200 This is something we have to take a look at.
02:12:09.580 So again, from my standpoint, I want to see the president succeed.
02:12:12.660 I want to take a tax increase, an automatic tax increase off the table as soon as possible.
02:12:16.380 All this could have been done.
02:12:17.220 The border funding, take an automatic tax increase off the table.
02:12:20.440 I think we have to deal with the debt ceiling.
02:12:22.380 But again, I don't want to just, you know, do $5 trillion.
02:12:24.580 I'm happy to give the president, you know, increase the debt ceiling for one year so we
02:12:28.100 can come back and get serious about returning to a pre-pandemic level spending.
02:12:30.920 Because right now, based on the House bill, it doesn't look like anybody is.
02:12:33.700 Well, I mean, Senator, with all due respect, I'm still not hearing any solutions.
02:12:37.160 Okay.
02:12:37.440 I understand what you're saying, but somebody at home who's critical of what you're saying
02:12:40.780 might say, well, this is rich, given the fact that the House already identified one
02:12:43.960 and a half trillion in cuts.
02:12:44.940 And all I heard from the Senate was four billion in cuts.
02:12:46.980 I know that there's the Byrd rule and that's technical, but still, what are the solutions?
02:12:50.400 Again, have you identified any areas to cut?
02:12:52.320 Well, exactly like Rick Scott talked about, you go line by line.
02:12:56.680 And again, I've laid out all the variances of how much we're spending today that exceeds
02:13:00.340 2019, plus stuff for population growth and inflation.
02:13:03.420 So you literally have to go through a couple thousand lines of the federal budget, probably
02:13:06.460 hundreds of lines beneath each one of those lines.
02:13:08.620 You have to take the time and do it.
02:13:09.800 Don't show us how to do it.
02:13:10.880 Contract by contract, line by line.
02:13:12.660 Rick Scott did that as governor of Florida.
02:13:14.200 He'd be great on a budget review panel.
02:13:15.600 I proposed that.
02:13:16.220 So again, this would be not an across the board as some basic percentage, but an across
02:13:20.160 the board forensic audit of all government spending.
02:13:23.200 You have to do it.
02:13:23.940 We didn't do the work.
02:13:24.880 We did it the same way.
02:13:25.600 We exempted most spending, looked at a couple of programs, tweaked them, tried to get a
02:13:28.980 CBO score, talked about what seemed to be a big number, but a number that is completely
02:13:32.780 inadequate.
02:13:33.380 It doesn't meet the moment.
02:13:34.680 Again, $22 trillion.
02:13:35.960 And that's on the low side, Maria.
02:13:37.500 You've got interest rate risk.
02:13:38.880 That CBO estimate assumes we're going to increase taxes by about $4 trillion.
02:13:42.320 Now we can argue over, okay, if you increase taxes, they probably wouldn't get that amount.
02:13:45.040 You still have to account for that $4 trillion if you don't increase taxes.
02:13:47.880 So again, we are facing a moment here where we've had an unprecedented level of spending
02:13:52.840 increase from 2019, 58% to over $7 trillion.
02:13:55.900 And it's just, we should have returned to pre-pandemic level spending in 2021.
02:14:00.400 Joe Biden didn't do that.
02:14:01.540 He averaged $1.9 trillion worth of deficits.
02:14:04.440 Obama in his last four years averaged $550 billion.
02:14:07.480 I mean, that is, again, you have to put all these numbers.
02:14:09.360 I'm working on a report, right?
02:14:10.860 Bro, we are never going to get rid of this debt, man.
02:14:12.820 I mean, it's just not going to happen.
02:14:13.800 Because the thing is, is that the three things that Republicans care about the most when
02:14:16.580 it comes to funding is obviously military spending, corporate tax cuts, and immigration,
02:14:21.780 right?
02:14:22.140 Those are the top three things that typically Republicans almost always dump a bunch of
02:14:25.940 money into.
02:14:27.900 Bro, it's going to be tough, man.
02:14:30.860 It's going to be tough, especially with the military spending, with what the fuck we got
02:14:33.640 going on in the Middle East, man.
02:14:34.760 Right now, doing all the work.
02:14:37.340 Hope to have a complete of the 2025 budget reconciliation facts and figures.
02:14:41.540 I hope to hold a hit.
02:14:42.320 And then on top of that, we already talked about, you know, the bureaucracy of the government
02:14:44.960 where, you know, they pass the bill of moves, Senate changes it, sends it back to the House.
02:14:49.780 They can say, no, we didn't approve this.
02:14:51.740 You guys change it too much.
02:14:52.820 And then they go back and forth.
02:14:54.380 And what ends up happening a lot of times, guys, is they stall it out.
02:14:56.780 When they stall it out, this is how they kind of are able to get killed bills.
02:15:00.420 Just by stalling it out.
02:15:01.300 President only has four years, guys.
02:15:02.820 Four years is not that much time to get shit done.
02:15:04.740 Be honest with you all.
02:15:05.620 ...hearing within the next couple of weeks, certainly before we take any votes on this.
02:15:08.560 Are you willing to take this so far as to blow up President Trump's agenda and lose
02:15:13.420 the reelection in 2026?
02:15:16.520 Absolutely not.
02:15:17.200 No, I want to see him succeed.
02:15:18.840 But again, my loyalty is to the American people, to my kids and grandkids.
02:15:22.960 We cannot continue to mortgage their future.
02:15:25.360 The transfer of wealth from old people like me to young people is literally immoral.
02:15:29.720 What's been happening?
02:15:30.480 It has to stop.
02:15:31.640 And this is our only moment.
02:15:33.220 Again, it's been...
02:15:33.560 Yeah, cryptocurrency, man.
02:15:36.940 Cryptocurrency has made more retarded fucking millionaires than ever before.
02:15:40.940 And then you got the whole economy of the internet with thoughts, you know, making a bunch of
02:15:44.520 money as well.
02:15:45.340 Whores making a bunch of fucking money.
02:15:47.520 Unprecedented level spending.
02:15:48.640 A blow up in the sex industry.
02:15:50.820 There's no justification for $4.4 to $7 trillion in just six years.
02:15:54.820 Getting back to a reasonable pre-pandemic level, you do it line by line by line.
02:15:58.380 Listen, I think the House has done a lot of good work.
02:16:00.000 We should take on that.
02:16:00.680 We should expand on it.
02:16:01.740 But again, we're not going to have the time.
02:16:03.060 Nobody's been willing to take the time or do the work to go line by line.
02:16:05.760 Again, Rick Scott has the experience in Florida.
02:16:07.940 Take a look at how successful he was at reducing spending, balancing his budget, and then giving
02:16:12.040 tax cuts to Floridians.
02:16:14.300 You've said a number of times that you want to get back to pre-pandemic spending.
02:16:18.300 Let me get your take.
02:16:19.080 Senator, what specifically will it take in terms of the number of cuts?
02:16:22.960 How much cutting do you need to do to get back to pre-pandemic spending?
02:16:28.620 My guess is there would probably be hundreds and thousands of cuts line by line.
02:16:31.440 Again, you look back to Bill Clinton in 1998.
02:16:33.260 We actually had a surplus.
02:16:34.260 Obama, 2014.
02:16:35.620 Trump, 2019.
02:16:36.640 You leave Social Security, Medicare, and interest alone, spend what you need to spend,
02:16:39.780 plus of all those actual outlays by population growth and inflation, you end up with a baseline
02:16:43.520 budget somewhere between $5.5 and $6.5 trillion.
02:16:46.680 You know, Senate budget, when we passed our budget reconciliation, we picked a midpoint
02:16:49.880 about $6 trillion.
02:16:50.880 That's a reasonable baseline to start from.
02:16:53.260 How many times have you heard members of Congress say you need to return to zero-based
02:16:55.960 budgeting?
02:16:56.600 I'm not even proposing that.
02:16:57.640 All right, let's move real quick to foreign affairs, because we're going to type for time
02:17:00.320 here.
02:17:00.520 So this comes from Patrick with David, right?
02:17:01.980 This is Donald Trump on True Social.
02:17:03.160 I just finished speaking by telephone with President Vladimir Putin of Russia.
02:17:05.680 The call lasted approximately one hour and 15 minutes.
02:17:07.920 We discussed the attack on Russia's docked airplanes by Ukraine and also various other attacks
02:17:11.640 that have been taking place by both sides.
02:17:13.600 It was a good conversation, but not a conversation that will lead to immediate peace.
02:17:16.340 President Putin did say, and very strongly, that he will have to respond to the recent
02:17:20.120 attack on the airfields.
02:17:21.120 We also discussed Iran and the fact that time is running out on Iran's decision pertaining
02:17:24.920 to nuclear weapons, which must be made quickly.
02:17:27.380 I stated to President Putin that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.
02:17:30.020 And on this, I believe that we were in agreement.
02:17:32.720 President Putin suggested that he will participate in discussions with Iran and that he could perhaps
02:17:36.400 be helpful in getting this brought to a rapid conclusion.
02:17:39.040 It's my opinion that Iran has been slow-walking their decision on this very important matter
02:17:42.700 and will need a definitive answer in a very short period of time.
02:17:45.280 Yeah, the reason why they're slow-walking the answer is because they don't trust you, Donnie.
02:17:49.800 Like, let's just be honest, man.
02:17:50.960 You ripped up the nuclear deal that Obama took years to put together.
02:17:55.480 So, yeah, they don't trust America.
02:17:58.680 Because last time we told people to give up their uranium and nuclear program, there was
02:18:04.660 a guy named Gaddafi and he got killed 10 years later.
02:18:07.440 He does not trust us or the Israelis.
02:18:09.560 Busy day trying to convince holdout Republican senators to support his budget bill.
02:18:15.240 He also had a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin about Russia.
02:18:19.260 So these are some—so three things on Trump's plate right now.
02:18:22.320 This bill, right, which is going to add more deficit, obviously.
02:18:26.400 The big, beautiful bill, which is hilarious that he called it that.
02:18:30.080 Obviously, Iran and the nuclear deal and the conflict in Russia.
02:18:35.400 As you guys know, I brought Scott Ritter on.
02:18:37.480 We talked about the history of it, et cetera, if you guys want to know more.
02:18:40.800 Go tune in to last night's podcast.
02:18:42.220 It was awesome.
02:18:42.720 I had Scott Ritter on for about an hour.
02:18:44.260 We discussed Russia-Ukraine.
02:18:45.560 We went all the way from the beginning to how we got to this conflict to what transpired
02:18:49.140 last week.
02:18:50.720 But for those of you that are just tuning in, basically what happened was Ukraine led an
02:18:55.820 operation where they had a bunch of drones, kamikaze, in five different strategic locations
02:19:00.880 for Russia, and they destroyed a bunch of aircraft.
02:19:03.280 And some of the aircraft they destroyed were nuclear-capable aircrafts of dropping atomic
02:19:07.680 bombs.
02:19:08.820 Obviously, this is a big problem because that's going to—that costs Russia billions upon
02:19:13.660 billions of dollars, this attack, because it destroyed some very sophisticated and important
02:19:19.000 equipment when it comes to what they destroyed with these fucking cheap drones.
02:19:23.580 So they conducted this operation.
02:19:25.720 It took them something like 18 months to plan, and they were successful.
02:19:28.940 And obviously, Russia's going to have to retaliate to this to some degree.
02:19:34.320 But, you know, that's kind of where we're at, man.
02:19:39.760 Ukraine got a good operation going across—got a good operation conducted, but they're going
02:19:43.860 to pay for it, bro.
02:19:45.180 Russia's war with Ukraine.
02:19:46.820 Erica Brown reports from the White House.
02:19:50.160 And make no mistake about it, the reason why Trump jumped on the phone point today to
02:19:53.420 talk about—to talk to him was, number one, to say, hey, I had no knowledge of this.
02:19:57.820 Number two, please don't totally fucking decimate Ukraine.
02:20:01.260 And then, number three, let's come to some kind of peace agreement.
02:20:04.220 But I guarantee you, most of the phone call was probably about the attack on Russia and
02:20:09.420 their military bases.
02:20:14.360 Which is a significant escalation, chat, by the way.
02:20:18.160 President Trump is meeting with some Senate Republicans Wednesday who still have questions
02:20:22.520 about his massive spending package.
02:20:24.360 Some Republican senators have criticized what the president calls his one big, beautiful
02:20:28.900 bill, calling for steeper spending cuts.
02:20:31.580 We've got it sharp in the pencil, and we go to the White House today.
02:20:34.660 I'm sure we'll have a discussion about ways we have to do it.
02:20:37.200 But the House had a good start, but we're not done yet.
02:20:40.020 The Congressional Budget Office released a new estimate, projecting the bill would add
02:20:43.980 $2.4 trillion to the deficit over the next 10 years.
02:20:48.060 It also says cuts to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act would result in nearly 11 million
02:20:53.560 people losing health insurance over the next decade.
02:20:56.860 There's a cold, harsh reality.
02:20:58.800 Yep.
02:20:59.400 Mr. Schumer.
02:21:01.560 That this bill is just tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy, paid for by gutting health care
02:21:07.540 for up to 16 million Americans.
02:21:10.020 Yeah, and the Democrats are absolutely going to vote against this bill, all of them.
02:21:13.660 The House has pushed back on a previous warning from the CBO that the bill adds to the deficit.
02:21:19.620 This is an institution in our country that has become partisan and political, and we are
02:21:23.620 very confident in our own economic analyses of this bill.
02:21:27.300 President Trump also spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin for more than an hour Wednesday
02:21:32.100 as his administration pushes for a peace deal to end the war in Ukraine.
02:21:36.340 Trump said he had a good conversation with Putin, but not one that would lead to immediate
02:21:40.660 peace.
02:21:41.260 Yeah, of course not.
02:21:42.000 He says Putin's stress.
02:21:43.400 And we went over what Russia wants yesterday, actually, guys.
02:21:46.580 We went in detail about it, but I think it's five different things.
02:21:49.300 Excuse me, let me try to remember from the top of my head.
02:21:51.560 Number one, demilitarization of Ukraine with 50,000 or less soldiers, maintaining the territories
02:22:00.800 that they've already conquered all across eastern Ukraine to include Crimea.
02:22:04.300 No NATO joining, Zelensky steps down as leader, and someone else comes in.
02:22:12.000 And then the fifth one was...
02:22:15.760 Man.
02:22:16.760 I think actually it was demilitarized, and then the fifth one was maintaining a force
02:22:25.060 of 50,000 or less.
02:22:26.720 I think that's what it was, guys.
02:22:28.600 So, number one, no joining NATO.
02:22:31.800 Number two, Zelensky steps down.
02:22:33.620 Number three, demilitarized.
02:22:35.480 Number four, they keep the territory that they've already conquered.
02:22:37.800 And then number five, having less than 50,000 troops.
02:22:41.460 That's what Russia wants.
02:22:43.300 And this is what Ukraine will not agree to.
02:22:46.540 Ukraine wants Russia to completely pull out of Ukraine and pay them reparations.
02:22:52.160 And we all know that's going to be a...
02:22:53.760 Nope.
02:22:54.920 So, Zelensky needs to stop being a fucking retard.
02:22:57.280 Falcon!
02:22:58.260 Punch!
02:22:59.280 Because them boys lost the war, okay?
02:23:01.820 It's actually comical for him to try to sit there with no leverage and say,
02:23:05.300 oh, yeah, you guys got to pay us the reparations, too.
02:23:07.160 No wonder we can't fucking find a middle ground.
02:23:08.720 ...that Russia will respond to Ukraine's latest drone attack on Russian airfields.
02:23:15.620 President Trump added President Putin offered to help discuss,
02:23:20.540 offered to help end discussions with Iran about ending that country's nuclear program.
02:23:26.920 See, and here's the other thing, too, right?
02:23:28.800 Because there's a lot of fucking rumors on this thing with the Iran deal.
02:23:32.820 We might not have time to get into the Iran deal, I'll be honest with you guys.
02:23:35.200 In the press briefing room, we do see that folks have their cameras at the ready, so...
02:23:41.720 Okay.
02:23:42.980 Let's get into the Diddy thing, because we didn't get a chance to do this.
02:23:46.600 Hi, I'm Eva Pilgrim.
02:23:47.560 Thanks for streaming with us.
02:23:48.840 Two new witnesses taking the stand on day 16 of testimony...
02:23:52.020 Yeah, because we didn't get the full testimony for today.
02:23:54.300 So, let's go ahead and get today's testimony,
02:23:56.580 and then I might cover the Iran nuclear deal tomorrow for you guys,
02:23:59.200 because we're going to do Fresh and Fit at 8.
02:24:02.180 ...in the Sean Diddy Combs sex trafficking and racketeering trial.
02:24:05.400 This morning, a forensic video expert testified about that 2016 hotel surveillance footage
02:24:09.740 showing Combs attacking Cassie Ventura.
02:24:12.320 The defense raised questions about whether the footage was manipulated,
02:24:15.620 but the experts saying there are no anomalies going on in the file
02:24:18.960 to indicate it had been manually altered.
02:24:21.000 Okay, this is the...
02:24:22.380 This is the video, obviously, of Diddy chasing Cassie down in the hallway.
02:24:27.980 ...expert was followed by...
02:24:28.920 Okay, and that's the Asian girl I told you guys about, Bongalon, or whatever her name is.
02:24:32.120 The drug user.
02:24:33.160 ...Cassie Ventura's friend, Brianna Bongolin, known as Bonna,
02:24:36.220 she told the jury that in 2016, Combs dangled her over a 17th floor balcony.
02:24:40.540 Yo, that's crazy.
02:24:41.800 ...claim Combs denies.
02:24:43.220 Bongolin also testified about a time she said she was asleep in Ventura's apartment
02:24:46.820 and was woken up by Combs banging at the door.
02:24:49.340 She described Combs being upset, saying,
02:24:52.360 I just remember seeing a knife get thrown in her direction, referring to Ventura.
02:24:56.400 The process...
02:24:56.740 Wow.
02:24:57.120 ...scooter asked, how did Cassie react?
02:25:00.860 Oh, she threw that shit back, bruh.
02:25:02.860 ...the knife was thrown in her direction.
02:25:04.620 Bongolin responded, she threw it back, adding that it didn't hit Combs.
02:25:08.940 Combs has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
02:25:10.680 If convicted, he faces the possibility of life in prison.
02:25:13.800 Later in the show, the frenzy around this trial.
02:25:16.620 We have a YouTube star, Tisa Tells, joining us live.
02:25:18.760 She goes to court every day, live streaming her real-time commentary for her more than half a million followers.
02:25:23.740 She'll help us set the scene about what's happening around this high-profile criminal trial.
02:25:28.480 But we begin with ABC News Chief Investigative Correspondent Aaron Katursky, live out...
02:25:31.860 Yeah, I'll be honest with you guys, for a lot of these YouTubers, this shit is like a fucking big come-up for a lot of them, bro.
02:25:37.620 I'll be honest with y'all, man.
02:25:38.800 A lot of these YouTubers, bro, they only get views when they cover shit like this.
02:25:41.820 Not really too diversified or interesting themselves.
02:25:45.920 Not saying that that's what Tisa Tells is, but a lot of YouTubers, man, like, this is their shit.
02:25:52.940 Like, you know what I mean?
02:25:53.560 They don't really cover anything else.
02:25:54.980 Inside the federal courthouse here in Manhattan.
02:25:57.160 Aaron, the day started with that forensic video analyst talking about the hotel video.
02:26:02.380 What did he say?
02:26:02.980 It wasn't so much what he said, Eva.
02:26:06.220 It's more what his testimony allowed federal prosecutors to do.
02:26:09.760 And that's play what may be some of the most visceral evidence for the jury over and over.
02:26:15.520 The defense kind of opened the door to this.
02:26:17.620 And the judge told them as much outside the presence of the jury.
02:26:19.920 By suggesting that the video had been manipulated or sped up or somehow altered,
02:26:24.180 the judge told the defense, you know, you're having prosecutors dispel that by having them play the video,
02:26:30.220 which is not something the defense really wanted.
02:26:31.880 Yeah, that was a big mistake doing that shit.
02:26:35.980 Because it is going to influence the jury to a degree.
02:26:38.280 And yet there was Frank Piazza, this forensic video analyst, walking through frame by frame in the jury.
02:26:43.780 But yeah, guys, don't worry.
02:26:45.540 I will probably go back up to New York and cover this case a bit more.
02:26:47.960 I'm just trying to figure out when.
02:26:50.120 Because I do think that I got the best coverage by far.
02:26:52.500 Because these other YouTubers, man, they don't understand how the legal system works
02:26:55.800 or how the feds work or any of that other stuff.
02:26:57.300 So I might go back up there, guys, maybe next week.
02:27:00.960 But I'll figure that out.
02:27:02.240 I'll figure that out for you ninjas.
02:27:06.280 But yeah.
02:27:06.960 Again, getting to see Sean Combs throwing Cassie Ventura to the floor, kicking her, stomping her, dragging her, throwing a vase of flowers at her.
02:27:17.740 And on cross-examination, the defense took pains to show how the time codes didn't match or the cameras didn't appear to be in sync.
02:27:24.740 But there was no evidence that any of this footage had been altered.
02:27:27.220 And Eva, remember, when it first appeared on television.
02:27:30.040 Yeah, so the defense fucked up by bringing that in, by saying, oh, yo, you guys edited the footage to make it look worse because they sped up the footage, right?
02:27:35.740 And it makes it look like Diddy was chasing after her.
02:27:37.940 And he hit her super hard because he, you know, because he kicked her and it goes faster.
02:27:42.140 So it created this element of, you know, of him being more aggressive than he might have really been because they sped up the video.
02:27:48.400 Sean Combs issued an apology.
02:27:49.620 Or the allegation was made for that.
02:27:50.860 Apology.
02:27:51.220 Not denying any of the conduct.
02:27:52.480 He said what's depicted on the video, his behavior, was inexcusable.
02:27:55.880 Today's big witness, Aaron, was of...
02:27:58.060 And he deleted that shit after on Instagram.
02:28:00.760 A friend of Cassie Ventura at the time.
02:28:02.300 How did she come to be a part of Combs and Ventura's circle?
02:28:06.720 Brianna Bongolan met Cassie Ventura while working for a design studio.
02:28:10.700 They were trying to start a line of T-shirts.
02:28:12.600 And Cassie was sort of the name brought in, the talent.
02:28:15.720 And Bongolan was the one to extract the ideas and come up with a clothing line.
02:28:19.480 And they eventually did, although Beyonce and Rihanna also had lines of T-shirts at the same time.
02:28:24.720 So they were never really successful, she said.
02:28:26.600 But eventually they became friends.
02:28:28.040 And really, they became drug partners, as she testified.
02:28:32.200 Both she and Cassie Ventura developed a drug partnership where Bongolan...
02:28:36.600 Yeah, and guys, they did a lot of drugs, bro.
02:28:38.960 Like, Cassie was talking about how she was on drugs like everyday, opiates and shit like that.
02:28:44.600 Did he too?
02:28:45.340 This was a drug-fueled freak-off slash degenerate party, man.
02:28:52.060 Drugs sell them to Cassie so much so that she became reliant as part of her income on Cassie buying drugs from her.
02:28:58.080 And they did everything.
02:28:59.100 Ecstasy, molly, cocaine, marijuana, ketamine, cocoa puffs, which the jury learned what that was, a mix of marijuana and cocaine.
02:29:08.200 And the defense tried to seize on that to color her testimony.
02:29:11.780 She also told the story about Diddy dangling her over a balcony.
02:29:16.040 What happened?
02:29:17.620 A real harrowing account of fear and danger.
02:29:20.780 It was 2016.
02:29:21.480 She said she was asleep in Cassie Ventura's apartment when she woke to Sean Combs yelling and banging on the door.
02:29:26.520 And then she remembers running out onto the balcony, trying to make it seem like she was acting casual.
02:29:31.420 Sean Combs comes and lifts her up, telling her, you know what the F you did, and lifts her onto the railing.
02:29:37.020 She said her feet were dangling over Sean Combs, then lifted her off the railing, threw her onto some furniture.
02:29:43.700 The jury saw pictures of the bruise on her leg and the bandages on her back.
02:29:47.760 As she's telling the story.
02:29:49.140 Bruh.
02:29:50.960 Man.
02:29:52.380 I'm curious, what was the reaction from the jurors, from Combs?
02:29:56.960 Yeah, Sean Combs was shaking his head when she first talked about some of these things.
02:30:00.260 She said that Sean Combs threw a knife at Cassie.
02:30:02.160 She said that once Sean Combs threatened her, that you know I'm the devil and I could kill you.
02:30:06.200 And Sean Combs kind of shook his head a little bit as if to say he didn't quite remember that.
02:30:10.000 And on cross-examination, the defense hammered home what they said were inconsistencies
02:30:15.300 and the way that she's gone over these accounts with prosecutors before trial, the way she testified to them today.
02:30:21.320 Yeah, they definitely attacked her credibility, probably saying you use drugs, you had an axe to grind, you probably also have a lawsuit.
02:30:27.340 And the way she wrote about them in a civil lawsuit that saw 10.
02:30:30.440 Of course, of course she had a civil lawsuit.
02:30:33.180 Colcom, punch!
02:30:35.440 Billion dollars from Sean Combs.
02:30:37.360 Colcom's going to take the stand again tomorrow.
02:30:38.840 What can we expect from her tomorrow?
02:30:41.320 There'll be more of the same relentless cross-examination defense attorney Nicole Westmoreland is asking her,
02:30:45.660 you know, you said this to prosecutors, you testified this way.
02:30:48.680 What's up with that?
02:30:49.520 I don't remember.
02:30:50.300 Over and over and over.
02:30:51.800 But Eva, I'm curious as to whether it even matters, because the only thing I can figure is that her story about the balcony and the knife throwing,
02:31:00.540 it all kind of goes to the racketeering point that maybe this is why Cassie Ventura, as prosecutors allege, felt coerced into sexual acts,
02:31:07.040 because she witnessed some of the violence that Bongolan described.
02:31:10.360 On the other hand, her testimony may not have been important at all for that reason,
02:31:13.060 but because she did testify that Sean Combs sold her drugs, another component of racketeering,
02:31:18.420 and that may be what prosecutors hope to gain from her testimony.
02:31:21.340 Erin Katursky there at the courthouse, and we should note that Combs denies all of the charges,
02:31:25.620 including those claims that he was dangling her over the balcony there.
02:31:28.980 We have now with us ABC News legal contributor Brian Buckmeyer joining me.
02:31:31.980 You got your sleeves rolled up.
02:31:32.940 We got a lot to talk about today.
02:31:34.360 So what stood out to you most?
02:31:36.000 So, of course, we had the two witnesses, Frank Piazza and Rihanna Bonglin, who testified.
02:31:39.120 Frank Piazza, again, with the video surveillance, saying that the defense basically made the argument
02:31:43.240 that the time codes didn't match up from the different angles, but also one of the angles, that being the lobby.
02:31:47.420 You saw these.
02:31:47.860 Oh, yeah.
02:31:48.360 This guy was in a courtroom with me, too.
02:31:49.700 I've seen that guy in a courtroom before, this black dude.
02:31:52.260 Got a 10 and 20, sometimes 30 second skips, but nonetheless, the video spoke for itself.
02:31:55.900 And Rihanna testifying about, again, as Aaron Katursky pointed out, those harrowing moments of the knife being thrown,
02:32:00.600 allegedly, at Sean Combs and then actually thrown back at him and then picking her up by the armpits
02:32:04.340 and then dangling her over the balcony.
02:32:06.500 I still have a big question, Marcus, whether or not it's true.
02:32:07.760 We'll talk about that in a moment, though.
02:32:08.720 OK, this video expert that we heard from today, he confirmed that the video was not altered,
02:32:12.640 that it had been unaltered.
02:32:13.880 Was that even a question?
02:32:15.080 It was a question.
02:32:15.780 It was a big question that the defense had brought up before the trial had begun, during the trial.
02:32:19.260 And I'm not sure if, for lack of a term, the juice was worth the squeeze, because
02:32:22.260 they're combating this argument.
02:32:23.620 They're trying to make it seem like it's being skipped over.
02:32:25.400 It's sped up to make it look more menacing.
02:32:26.940 But it gave the government the opportunity to play it over and over and over again.
02:32:30.460 And that's not good.
02:32:31.360 Not something you want the jury to see of your client.
02:32:33.400 Some of the most violent and dangerous testimony and video they're going to see in this case.
02:32:37.600 We also heard from Cassie Ventura's friend at the time, Brianna Bonglin.
02:32:42.180 The story that she told Aaron and was just talking about that, her dangling over the balcony,
02:32:45.760 that's a pretty crazy story.
02:32:46.820 The jurors got to see the pictures of the balcony there.
02:32:48.800 Yeah.
02:32:49.080 So that's why I understand that for a split.
02:32:50.520 And I remember I had covered this balcony before chat, this balcony story, because this woman
02:32:55.700 had, like, launched a lawsuit against Diddy, and this balcony incident was mentioned in
02:32:59.740 her lawsuit.
02:33:00.560 So, again, you know, it's kind of good for the defense that they have these lawsuits because
02:33:06.340 it gives the defense ample time to research and attack them on it.
02:33:09.620 Like, hey, you got a financial incentive in this?
02:33:11.500 Second, she was...
02:33:12.160 To attack the credibility.
02:33:13.240 I was thinking she was going to fall.
02:33:14.140 But for the most part, he was just yelling over and over again for about 15 seconds.
02:33:17.400 But I'm the son of a general contractor, and I thought that this story didn't make sense
02:33:21.060 because most balconies, if you know, I mean, we have young children.
02:33:23.560 We see balconies all the time.
02:33:24.400 We're like, that's too low, too high.
02:33:25.720 Balconies in California and New York have to be 42 inches high.
02:33:28.200 She's 5'1", if you believe Sean Combs' social media and post.
02:33:31.200 He's 5'10".
02:33:31.920 To pick up someone by the armpits...
02:33:33.400 Bro, I ain't 5'10", bro.
02:33:34.900 He's not...
02:33:35.360 He's like 5'8", Chad.
02:33:36.760 When I saw him in the courtroom, he's not 5'10".
02:33:38.540 And lift them 42 inches high to that point, that didn't make sense to me.
02:33:42.440 And the allegations that she's using drones and that she couldn't understand or remember
02:33:45.560 a lot of these incidences, I think that's what the defense are.
02:33:48.000 It's going to really hone in on and be like, this story is not plausible.
02:33:50.180 It must not be true.
02:33:50.940 Yeah, we heard Erin talk a lot about all the list of drugs that she said she had been using.
02:33:55.440 And at some point, both her and Cassie Ventura tried to stop using the drugs, but they couldn't.
02:34:00.240 Why was that?
02:34:01.260 Drug use is difficult, especially when we're talking about the various cocktails.
02:34:03.920 I mean, I practiced defense here in New York for over a decade, and I was learning about
02:34:07.300 some of the drugs that they were using, the cocoa puffs that Erin brought up.
02:34:10.400 But they did say they were close friends trying to kick the habit that they had tried cooking
02:34:13.600 as a way of trying to pull apart from the drug use.
02:34:16.160 But it was so much, even to the point that Brianna, when she...
02:34:19.160 Hey guys, give me a solid, man.
02:34:20.240 We only got 1,300 likes, man.
02:34:21.520 Smash that like button, bro.
02:34:23.400 Smash that like button, chat.
02:34:25.420 ...reached out when Cassie had filed a lawsuit about this very incident about the balcony.
02:34:28.520 She said, some of those facts are incorrect.
02:34:30.580 It wasn't at a hotel.
02:34:31.320 This person wasn't there.
02:34:32.220 This didn't happen.
02:34:33.000 And her response was very interesting as to Cassie kind of just almost shrugging off and her giving
02:34:36.820 an excuse of, we use a lot of drugs at the time.
02:34:38.440 So maybe the story might have been off.
02:34:39.940 Another thing I think the defense is going to hone in on, and I'm not quite sure if this
02:34:42.400 was the best witness to put on at the end of the day.
02:34:44.080 I don't think it really helped the government, but it definitely gave the defense someone
02:34:46.480 to kind of point out and say, this is false.
02:34:48.340 And they might be...
02:34:48.640 Yeah, you're a degenerate drug user, just like Cassie.
02:34:51.640 Let's sprinkle that throughout the rest of the trial and say, maybe other things are false
02:34:53.660 too.
02:34:54.320 Brian Buckmeyer, always so good to have you.
02:34:56.020 Still ahead, allegations of abuse and violence, admissions of heavy drug use.
02:35:00.220 Which side did the best in presenting their case today?
02:35:01.940 Our legal minds, Brian and Bernardo, break it all down for us when we come back.
02:35:08.440 Did they really need an expert witness to testify about that video?
02:35:14.160 The prosecution had to call an expert witness to testify about the video because there were
02:35:17.420 allegations by the defense that the video was altered.
02:35:20.220 So in order to prove its validity, its authentication, the prosecutor...
02:35:23.940 You need to bring in an expert.
02:35:25.080 And that's why, like, for example, they brought in a special agent when it came to the forensic
02:35:28.400 information.
02:35:29.120 They brought in a special agent when it came to the search warrants.
02:35:31.020 Need someone to authenticate that evidence.
02:35:32.480 I had to call an expert and testify that, look, this has not been altered.
02:35:35.720 This is the video.
02:35:36.480 So what you see in that video is exactly what transpired.
02:35:38.980 Because now you take that question off the table from the jury.
02:35:41.140 They don't have to figure out, wait, is the video altered?
02:35:43.140 Did they mess it up?
02:35:43.740 Did somebody insert some things in it?
02:35:45.680 Now you take it away from them because you have an expert that testified that that did
02:35:48.660 not happen.
02:35:49.400 So yes, unfortunately, the jury did have to see it at least 50 times today during a direct
02:35:53.700 examination, during cross-examination.
02:35:55.080 If you were saying, like, it's not a good idea to play this not flattering video of your client,
02:35:58.060 how do you think they've handled this?
02:35:59.280 I don't think it's a great idea, but if you're going to do it, then do it.
02:36:01.100 And I think the positive that does come from it is when you watch a video as harrowing
02:36:04.420 as this, the first time you watch it for the violence, the second time you do it as well,
02:36:07.040 the third, the fourth, the fiftieth time, now the sting has already been taken out.
02:36:10.280 And that might be beneficial.
02:36:10.800 But that was the defense that was actually playing it so many times today.
02:36:13.760 I mean, literally, they played it at least 25 times.
02:36:16.400 So it was coming from the defense.
02:36:17.360 But now you might have trained the jury to say, OK, you've seen the violence already.
02:36:20.480 Now start to look for the details.
02:36:21.680 Is something wrong in this video?
02:36:22.720 Is something wrong here?
02:36:23.620 Is it skipping over pieces?
02:36:24.680 Is the government being deceptive?
02:36:25.960 And if you can discredit the government for how they're presenting the case, you're that much closer
02:36:29.540 to an acquittal.
02:36:29.940 OK, we have to talk about Breonna's testimony on the stand today.
02:36:33.220 What's the prosecution hoping to show with her?
02:36:35.380 So the prosecution called Breonna to show a couple of things.
02:36:38.560 Number one, they want to corroborate Cassie's testimony in terms of the violence that Cassie
02:36:42.640 underwent at the hands of Combs, in terms of what is Combs' demeanor, what's his, in terms
02:36:47.860 of threatening people, the threats that she actually heard from Sean Combs.
02:36:51.420 Also to go through, they wanted to put that piece of evidence that she was dangled from the
02:36:55.160 balcony.
02:36:55.800 So that was key.
02:36:56.420 But I think more importantly, when we're talking about the charges, the racketeering
02:36:59.120 conspiracy, how does her testimony fall into the charge?
02:37:02.080 It's a predicate act of the possession with intent to distribute.
02:37:05.040 Because she did testify that there were multiple occasions that Sean Combs gave her narcotics.
02:37:10.280 And that is one of the racketeering acts.
02:37:11.760 Yeah.
02:37:12.260 If it's believed, of course.
02:37:13.800 If it's believed is a big thing.
02:37:14.760 I don't think, and we've seen this in our own cases, I don't think people believe drug
02:37:17.540 dealers.
02:37:17.860 And at the end of the day, that's what she's going to be painted as.
02:37:19.560 She testified on the stand that her and Cassie used drugs at least once a week.
02:37:22.800 And then when pressed on by even the government, she said, well, it increased over time.
02:37:25.680 So more than once a week.
02:37:26.760 And then when the defense came up, Nicole Westmoreland, amazing cross-examination thus
02:37:30.160 far.
02:37:30.920 The laundry list of the types of drugs.
02:37:32.580 I never knew what Cocoa Puffs were.
02:37:34.160 We all learned what Cocoa Puffs were today.
02:37:35.660 Cocoa for Cocoa Puffs.
02:37:36.320 Yeah.
02:37:36.560 I've been practicing for over a decade.
02:37:38.260 I thought I knew all the drugs.
02:37:39.580 Didn't know that one.
02:37:40.460 And now you have this person who's supposed to risk their credibility of what Cassie was
02:37:43.680 doing, what Sean Combs was doing.
02:37:45.160 I think they could have done without this witness.
02:37:46.160 Is that a problem?
02:37:47.500 It's not a problem.
02:37:48.280 And this is why I say that as a former prosecutor, when you're dealing with witnesses, one thing
02:37:53.300 that you tell the jury all the time is that you take your witnesses as you get them.
02:37:57.380 I didn't make these people witnesses.
02:37:59.060 Yeah, but she made her so high.
02:37:59.800 The defendant made this person a witness.
02:38:02.280 So I'm not here to clean up this person.
02:38:04.080 I'm presenting you the person with their flaws as they are.
02:38:07.060 I'm not trying to clean them up.
02:38:08.500 In the end, it was the defendant that made that person a witness.
02:38:11.020 Also, remember that also fits in the narrative in the sense of that the prosecution is saying
02:38:15.000 that Sean Combs is the one who got Cassie addicted to drugs.
02:38:18.560 So here you have the corroboration from another person.
02:38:21.020 Yeah, and that's where the importance comes in with this witness, though.
02:38:23.760 Her credibility sucks.
02:38:25.120 The thing is, is that there's been other witnesses that are more credible that have corroborated
02:38:28.280 this kind of theme.
02:38:29.240 So that's where her importance can come in.
02:38:32.040 And then obviously they like the debt.
02:38:33.860 The balcony dangling is important because they're trying to illustrate that Diddy is a violent
02:38:38.600 individual that uses, you know, fear, intimidation and violence to rule over his organization.
02:38:43.280 That's another important reason why they brought her in as a witness, despite the fact that
02:38:46.040 she's a drug user.
02:38:47.200 On drugs, this is how much drugs they used to take as a result of it.
02:38:50.160 Clean them up as you want.
02:38:51.020 And let me parse through this.
02:38:52.460 I feel for people who have substance abuse issues.
02:38:53.920 It is a serious thing in this country.
02:38:55.200 We have represented people who have hit rock bottom and my heart breaks for them.
02:38:57.900 On both sides.
02:38:58.480 On both sides.
02:38:58.940 Prosecution and defense.
02:38:59.700 I am not discrediting her for having that abuse and going through that.
02:39:02.660 That is her own trauma that she's working through.
02:39:04.440 But if you're going to ask me to believe what she heard, what she saw, what she felt and
02:39:08.280 what she's testing to when she was in the thralls of that all, that's a whole different
02:39:11.320 thing that I think is difficult for the jury.
02:39:12.640 I hope she gets the help.
02:39:13.520 I'm glad that she gots a tattoo of January 2nd, 2018 on her neck and she's now getting
02:39:17.280 sober.
02:39:17.940 But-
02:39:18.100 Fucking thoughts, bro.
02:39:19.820 Paco, punch!
02:39:22.060 Leaving what she saw and heard on that day, that's a different thing that the jury's
02:39:24.500 out at the back of the list.
02:39:24.740 You don't think she was believable?
02:39:25.880 No, I don't think of many things.
02:39:27.180 I still go back to the balcony.
02:39:28.320 I'm like, it doesn't make sense if Sean Coles is picking her up from underneath the armpits
02:39:31.040 to clear that level.
02:39:32.560 I wish I had a tape measure.
02:39:33.420 But there were issues with her testimony.
02:39:35.700 I did question the prosecutor for calling this witness.
02:39:39.100 Personally, I would not have called this witness as a prosecutor on this case.
02:39:42.100 I don't think that you needed to call her.
02:39:44.340 Why would you not have called her?
02:39:45.320 Because I don't think that the pros of what she brings to the table, how she moves the
02:39:49.460 ball in terms of proving these charges, are not outweighed by the cons that she has in
02:39:53.060 terms of the drug abuse, in terms of selling drugs, in terms of the inconsistencies, in
02:39:56.660 terms of how she held herself up doing cross-examination.
02:39:59.100 Yeah, it always comes to a cost-benefit analysis.
02:40:01.160 And I agree with the prosecutor on this.
02:40:03.500 Based off the testimony I've heard, she might have created more problems than benefits bringing
02:40:09.980 her in, just because of her questionable past, the story happening while she was high.
02:40:15.660 Again, but the government looks at it like, look, we got a lot of witnesses.
02:40:19.060 They're hoping, I think, to just show a bunch of different witnesses that are saying the same
02:40:23.440 thing, even if some of them aren't credible, to corroborate the fact that Diddy is violent.
02:40:27.600 So I think that's what the prosecution strategy was.
02:40:29.540 We're bringing her in because, though she's not credible herself, our other witnesses are
02:40:33.760 going to make her credible.
02:40:34.680 Does that make sense, chat?
02:40:36.660 Smash that like, boy, niggas.
02:40:38.120 I think she also hurts the case because she's the person who's testifying that she's supplying
02:40:40.880 drugs to Cassie, something that the defense is definitely going to pounce on.
02:40:43.460 And so is Combs.
02:40:44.680 How much for each, though?
02:40:45.980 I know.
02:40:46.200 Because she said-
02:40:46.760 But all you need is one.
02:40:47.580 She said-
02:40:47.820 All you need is one time that Combs-
02:40:49.000 Combs gave it to her once, according to her.
02:40:50.220 That's all you need.
02:40:50.960 Many times.
02:40:51.880 If you believe her.
02:40:52.840 If you believe her.
02:40:53.480 Everything comes down to credibility.
02:40:55.580 And I love that you kind of both agree on that one.
02:40:57.600 Ryan Buckmeyer, Bernardo Villalona, thank you both for being here with us today.
02:41:00.740 Still ahead, the media circus, the networks, the influencers, the vloggers.
02:41:04.360 Oh, my.
02:41:04.820 They are all lining up outside to bring their followers and viewers in.
02:41:08.100 We chat with YouTuber Tisa Tells when we come back.
02:41:13.060 Hi.
02:41:13.620 I'm so curious because you have a lot of followers.
02:41:15.760 What are they most curious about learning about with this trial?
02:41:19.280 So they're curious about learning something that you can't get in the tweets or even the
02:41:23.580 articles.
02:41:23.860 They want to know the energy.
02:41:25.380 Diddy's captivated everyone.

02:41:28.420 What's going on?
02:41:29.240 How are the jurors looking?
02:41:30.780 How's the judge acting?
02:41:31.880 They want to get as much information as they can.
02:41:33.940 I've never seen anything like it.
02:41:35.240 Everybody just wants a bird's eye view of what's going on in the courtroom because they
02:41:38.540 want to they want to find out whether he's going to be convicted or not.
02:41:41.940 And they want as much spoilers as they can get.
02:41:43.740 Yeah.
02:41:43.880 I'm curious, too.
02:41:44.400 Like how many people are like when you look at the numbers of people who are like coming
02:41:47.480 to your YouTube channel and the comments.
02:41:49.040 Are you seeing a spike in those types of views?
02:41:51.080 And it's a major spike.
02:41:52.420 Like, again, even people that aren't even on YouTube, you know, of course, you guys.
02:41:55.800 Let's look here.
02:41:57.000 I got to I got to see this real fast.
02:41:58.660 I want to know the energy.
02:41:59.640 Diddy's captivated.
02:42:00.820 So.
02:42:03.260 Right.
02:42:03.900 This is the girl.
02:42:08.200 Right.
02:42:08.560 You click here.
02:42:10.860 Videos.
02:42:11.840 Now, let's go.
02:42:21.760 Everything is Diddy, it looks like.
02:42:29.180 So you guys can see, right?
02:42:30.940 Like I hit the live.
02:42:32.580 Maybe that's going to be better.
02:42:33.480 Was she live stream before this trial?
02:42:34.740 All Diddy, all Diddy.
02:42:39.640 See, and that's another reason, too, why I wanted to come back.
02:42:41.720 I didn't want to make my channel a fucking Diddy channel, man.
02:42:44.660 You know what I mean?
02:42:46.520 So, like, you look here.
02:42:51.980 Everything is.
02:42:52.580 Then you guys can see, like, the numbers drastically change once the trial begins.
02:42:59.000 Right.
02:42:59.420 So this is a big come up for a lot of people, bro.
02:43:02.120 Look, now she's getting into the hundreds once the trial comes because she's there.
02:43:06.540 You know what I mean?
02:43:06.980 Because prior to that shit, you look like no views, bro.
02:43:10.380 Not the same.
02:43:12.260 So, damn, everything is Diddy, bro.
02:43:14.060 See, what ends up happening is you end up having to keep reporting on the same thing to get views.
02:43:24.460 And I didn't want to fall into that Diddy trap, man.
02:43:27.400 You know what I mean?
02:43:28.460 No pun intended.
02:43:29.260 But, like, you know, what ends up happening a lot of times is you just get stuck in that niche and you can't do nothing else.
02:43:36.680 It's legacy media.
02:43:37.600 They consume it.
02:43:38.340 But then it's this voracious appetite.
02:43:39.740 They're going to YouTube.
02:43:40.440 They're going to TikTok.
02:43:41.520 You know, people are talking about it at work.
02:43:42.880 They cannot get enough about it.
02:43:44.940 It's really, I've never seen this much coverage across all platforms when it comes to a trial.
02:43:49.520 And so what's interesting with this trial is that there are no cameras in the courtroom.
02:43:52.300 At all.
02:43:52.620 So we can't see what's going on inside.
02:43:54.380 So walk us through for people who.
02:43:56.320 All right, I've already described what's going on in the trial.
02:43:57.920 Let's move on to geopolitics.
02:43:59.200 Okay, so you guys, we're diversified over here, baby.
02:44:02.280 Falcon punch!
02:44:04.260 All right, let's talk about Syria bombs Israel.
02:44:06.040 Because this is a big deal, guys.
02:44:07.000 As you guys know, right?
02:44:08.380 Syria has been taken over by this guy.
02:44:12.020 Right?
02:44:13.660 El Jolani.
02:44:14.460 This guy right here, a.k.a. Ahmed al-Shara, also known as Jolani.
02:44:24.900 It's funny how they clean him up.
02:44:26.760 But he's their current president of Syria right now.
02:44:29.620 And he basically, guys, met with Trump not too long ago when Trump made his Middle Eastern trip.
02:44:38.560 Right here.
02:44:47.220 President Trump met with the Syrian president.
02:44:49.720 Which is, this is historic, by the way.
02:44:51.220 In Saudi Arabia this morning, the new Syrian leader is a former insurgent once jailed by U.S. forces after being captured in Iraq.
02:44:59.180 Yeah, he was a former al-Qaeda guy, bro.
02:45:00.740 Just so you guys know.
02:45:01.780 This dude is a former al-Qaeda, man.
02:45:03.380 Trump has agreed to end sanctions against Syria, a country that has been shattered by more than a decade of civil war.
02:45:10.120 And the face-to-face meeting comes as Trump rapped.
02:45:12.480 And just so you guys know, Jolani came into power because of Israel.
02:45:16.580 FYI.
02:45:17.260 Okay?
02:45:18.280 I've described this before.
02:45:19.380 If you guys want me to talk about it, give me ones in the chat if you guys want me to talk about how this guy came into power.
02:45:22.940 If not, give me twos if you just want to keep it pushing.
02:45:26.180 Give me ones if you guys want me to explain how he came into power.
02:45:28.280 Give me twos if you guys just want it to keep pushing.
02:45:30.740 Because I've talked about it before, but I know we've got a lot of new viewers in here.
02:45:34.040 So, yeah.
02:45:34.620 Raps up his visit to Saudi Arabia.
02:45:36.400 He's now in Qatar amid criticism and scrutiny about a $400 million luxury jet the royal family offered to give to him.
02:45:45.460 ABC's Christian Cordero has those details.
02:45:48.900 Today, President Trump heads to his second of three Gulf states, arriving in Qatar this morning and leaving Saudi Arabia,
02:45:55.960 where he heaped praise on Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman,
02:45:59.300 the man U.S. intelligence concluded orchestrated the murder of Washington Post journalist Jamal.
02:46:04.420 Yeah, Khashoggi.
02:46:05.960 Yeah, they killed his ass in the embassy chat.
02:46:08.680 They killed his ass in the embassy chat.
02:46:18.120 All right, I see a lot of ones.
02:46:20.080 Damn, okay.
02:46:21.380 Well, that's, I guess, a good sign.
02:46:22.520 A lot of you guys are new here.
02:46:27.000 Jamal Khashoggi.
02:46:27.980 Yeah, they killed Jamal Khashoggi.
02:46:29.320 The Saudi Arabian government did because he was criticizing the government.
02:46:32.040 This picture is crazy, though.
02:46:32.960 In 2018, Trump instead focusing on the region's economic prosperity and announcing at the Crown Prince's request he will lift U.S. sanctions on Syria.
02:46:42.720 To give them a fresh start, it gives them a chance for greatness.
02:46:46.560 The sanctions were put in place during the...
02:46:48.440 This is Bashar al-Assad.
02:46:49.300 This was the former president of Syria before Jelani took power.
02:46:52.960 The Assad regime that has since crumbled.
02:46:55.300 Its new government now in power for the past six months.
02:46:58.340 There's a humanitarian reason to want the sanctions to be lifted, which is that, you know, the people of Syria have suffered under the sanctions.
02:47:05.980 The United States should be cautious, too, because you don't want...
02:47:09.000 Hey, guys, if this is your first time catching a live stream, do me a solid, man.
02:47:11.680 Give me an O slash in the chat.
02:47:13.960 Give me an O slash in the chat, guys, if this is your first time catching a live stream.
02:47:19.520 Give me an O slash in the chat if this is your first time.
02:47:21.260 I want to go whole hog in and invest in any particular regime.
02:47:29.220 Trump meeting with Syria's new president today before heading to his next stop, hanging over the president's entire Middle East visit, questions about the...
02:47:37.480 Hey, free speech advocate, you retard.
02:47:39.280 This is not your first time in here.
02:47:40.960 You clearly can't take directions, you fucking dumbass.
02:47:44.480 Change your name to a retard advocate because that's what you are.
02:47:46.600 Yeah, give me an O slash if this is your first time catching a live stream, guys.
02:47:51.820 Trump family's business interests, sons Don Jr. and Eric Trump, now run the Trump Organization and have projects in the works in all three countries the president is visiting this week.
02:48:02.820 His visit to Qatar also under scrutiny after its royal family offered that $400 million luxury jet, which Trump wants to use as Air Force One.
02:48:13.000 His plan received swift...
02:48:14.440 All right, so I'll go ahead and quickly explain this to you guys.
02:48:16.600 Because I know that we got a lot of people.
02:48:17.980 I just try not to like...
02:48:19.160 President Trump?
02:48:19.820 Bring the same thing over and over again.
02:48:21.440 But I will go ahead and show you guys how this guy came into power.
02:48:29.980 All right.
02:48:31.280 So let's go ahead and go look at a map.
02:48:34.660 Okay.
02:48:35.120 So where is Syria located?
02:48:36.920 Located in the Middle East, right?
02:48:39.100 So here we go to Syria.
02:48:40.840 Now, for you guys to understand what's going on here, we need to understand proximity and geography.
02:48:45.420 All right.
02:48:46.360 So Syria, for a very long time under the Bashar al-Assad regime, was a proxy power utilized by Iran to wage its war against Israel.
02:48:57.980 Okay.
02:48:58.160 So Syria's main purpose in this situation was Iran would ship weapons, soldiers, equipment, resources, you know, supplies to Hezbollah over here in Lebanon.
02:49:09.800 Now, Syria was critical for this because what Syria would do is they would facilitate these items being transported to Lebanon so that they can go ahead and fight against the Israelis.
02:49:19.220 Why?
02:49:19.380 Because Israel's right here.
02:49:21.220 Lebanon sits just north of Israel.
02:49:24.580 Now, after October 7th happened, the Israelis decided to launch a ground campaign into southern Lebanon.
02:49:32.440 Why?
02:49:32.820 Because in southern Lebanon, they were shooting rockets into northern Israel.
02:49:36.280 This is creating a pandemonium for the Israeli government.
02:49:39.120 They had to pretty much evacuate this entire northern Israel region, Haifa, et cetera, all these major areas because the rockets were constantly coming in from Lebanon.
02:49:49.480 Now, these rockets were being supplied by Iran and the rockets were moving through Syria.
02:49:54.300 So when Israel went into Lebanon on this ground offensive, they went in to destroy these homes that were being utilized to shoot rockets, as well as they started bombing Beirut.
02:50:04.040 During the course of their bombing, they murdered a guy named Hassan Nasrallah, okay, the leader of Hezbollah.
02:50:10.940 Also, when they made their ground assault here, though they did not go as far as they wanted to, they were supposed to pass the Latani River and they did not.
02:50:17.280 They were claiming that they were going to make it all the way to Beirut, but they did not.
02:50:19.800 But they were able to weaken Hezbollah, significantly weaken Hezbollah.
02:50:24.080 Also, they ran the Pager attack, which was successful, and also created some tension within their ranks.
02:50:31.880 So what ended up happening was Hezbollah, by losing their leader, being attacked on a ground offensive, and the Pager attack, it pretty much put them in disarray, okay?
02:50:40.780 And what ended up happening was Lebanon and Israel struck a ceasefire, okay, at the end of last year.
02:50:49.380 When Israel and Lebanon struck the ceasefire, the Israeli troops pulled out, but Lebanon, being weakened, created an opportunity.
02:50:57.600 Well, guess who took over that opportunity?
02:50:59.640 The current leader of Syria, Jolani.
02:51:01.440 When they did the ceasefire, what they did was, they were set up over here in the Idlib area, these rebels, and they basically went in and took over Aleppo.
02:51:11.200 And after they took over Aleppo, they went and worked their way down to Damascus.
02:51:15.620 They were able to take Syria over within two weeks, okay?
02:51:19.800 So the ceasefire happens in late 2024.
02:51:22.660 By the end of 2024, Syria is now under new rule of the rebels, okay?
02:51:27.240 Bashar al-Assad fled to Russia, and he's currently there on asylum.
02:51:31.440 So, once Jolani took over the Syrian government, two things he wanted to do.
02:51:38.500 He wanted to normalize relations between Israel and the United States and get the sanctions lifted, okay?
02:51:43.800 As you guys know, under the Bashar al-Assad regime and the civil war that they had been suffering for almost 10 years now, the government had—the economy was tanked.
02:51:52.740 So, this new leader, thanks to the Israelis, was able to use the opportunity provided by the ceasefire to go in and take over.
02:52:03.300 Now, once Jolani took over, he kicked all of the Iranian officials out, the IRGC, and he is not allowing Lebanon to be resupplied and Hezbollah to be resupplied, okay?
02:52:14.820 Give me ones in the chat if that makes sense.
02:52:16.340 That is how your boy Jolani took over power.
02:52:20.520 Give me ones if that makes sense in chat.
02:52:22.180 All right, awesome.
02:52:48.660 Okay, now, the reason why this is so weird is because Syria got the sanctions lifted by the United States, and they're making moves to recognize Israel as a sovereign state, or officially recognize Israel, which many Arab countries don't want to do, but Syria is.
02:53:06.540 So, there was this rocket attack against Israel from Syria.
02:53:10.940 That's why it's unusual.
02:53:11.780 But this was from a rebel group that has nothing to do with the Syrian government, if I'm not mistaken.
02:53:19.780 So, they shot rockets from Syria—from Syrian territory.
02:53:25.860 So, northern Israel is on alert.
02:53:33.160 Okay, let me see if I can find a better video for this shit.
02:53:36.640 Give me one second, ninjas.
02:53:37.640 Ninjas.
02:53:41.780 Yeah, that's the only problem with these, um, with these fucking foreign, uh, niggas, man.
02:53:48.900 They, they, they, they're fucking trashed the city.
02:53:50.900 Oh, okay.
02:53:53.380 Okay, here we go.
02:53:55.480 So, we're just hearing that the Israeli army is shelling Syrian territory with artillery.
02:54:01.980 Yes, so Israel did, uh, respond and shoot back at Syria.
02:54:05.980 But these people that, um, shot at Israel in the first place were, um, Syrian rebels.
02:54:12.220 That's after it said two projectiles made impact in the occupied Golan Heights after being—
02:54:18.720 Okay, Golan Heights, guys, is, um, this area right here.
02:54:23.080 This area right here.
02:54:25.620 It's technically Syria, but it's really not.
02:54:27.520 Uh, it's occupied by Israel for strategic reasons.
02:54:30.400 Um, boom, here it is.
02:54:41.760 The Golan Heights right here.
02:54:44.420 Uh, it's a basaltic plateau at the southwest corner of Syria.
02:54:47.840 It is bordered by the Yarmouk River in the south.
02:54:50.020 Um, and this is obviously a very strategic area for Israel, right?
02:54:54.740 And Israel's been occupying this area for a very long time.
02:54:58.400 So, internationally recognized as Syrian territory, but it's occupied by Israel.
02:55:01.680 Because, you know, that's what the Israelis do.
02:55:03.060 They occupy a land that isn't theirs all the time and say it's for defense.
02:55:06.420 Launched from Syria.
02:55:08.400 And, um, there's a group of people that live there called the Druves, if I'm not mistaken.
02:55:16.600 It's an ethno-religious group.
02:55:17.960 Um.
02:55:24.740 Okay, so they don't identify as Muslims.
02:55:28.240 Uh, they maintain Arabic language or culture as integral parts of their identity.
02:55:32.340 But yeah, this is where they, uh, this place has a big Druze population.
02:55:36.320 Um, the Golan Heights.
02:55:38.180 For more on all of this, we have Hamda Salhout joining us live now from the Jordanian capital of Amman.
02:55:43.780 And as we mentioned earlier, she's there because the Israeli government has banned Al Jazeera from reporting.
02:55:48.840 The Israeli government banned Al Jazeera, bro.
02:55:50.740 Yo, they banned all international reporters, man.
02:55:52.960 Reporting not just inside of Israel, but also the occupied West Bank.
02:55:57.380 Now, uh, Hamda, uh, what more are you hearing from where you are?
02:56:06.240 Well, two incidents taking place just in the last hour or so.
02:56:09.640 The first one, a missile launched by the Houthis in Yemen.
02:56:12.920 The Israeli military says that it was successfully intercepted.
02:56:16.340 But this projectile caused sirens to go off in 139 different locations across Israel.
02:56:23.060 The sirens heard all the way from the north to the south.
02:56:25.600 And even in occupied East Jerusalem video on social media showing the projectile and the interception in the sky as far as Beit Hanina in Jerusalem.
02:56:34.980 Now, as for the other story that we're talking about here, two rockets the military says launched from Syrian territory.
02:56:42.500 The first such attack in over a year since May 2024.
02:56:47.660 And they say it's the first since the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime.
02:56:51.260 The military says they're now responding with artillery fire and that both of those rockets fell in open areas without any injuries.
02:56:58.240 But now they're investigating who exactly launched those rockets.
02:57:02.160 We know it wasn't from the Syrian government.
02:57:03.980 These are rebels.
02:57:05.040 Obviously, guys, they're in the early stages because this guy, Jelani, only took power in January.
02:57:11.340 So obviously there's still going to be a bunch of rebel groups that are still all over Syria that don't like the Israelis.
02:57:15.660 Right. Right. But, yeah, Jelani is trying to normalize relations with the West.
02:57:21.880 But the military. And just so you guys know, maybe this is me putting my tinfoil hat on.
02:57:25.300 But I think the Israelis actually backed him when he went over to overthrow the Assad government.
02:57:29.860 I definitely think the Israelis paid him and backed him to do it.
02:57:33.760 The guy's 100 percent a Western asset for sure.
02:57:36.540 That's why they're OK with him being in power.
02:57:39.660 Terry's basically a public government that benefits the West.
02:57:42.560 Says they're going to continue to strike wherever they see threats.
02:57:46.320 OK, thanks very much.
02:57:47.560 Hamza Salhouda with that latest update there on projectiles from both Yemen and Syria towards Israel.
02:57:57.220 All right.
02:58:02.380 Let's see if we can find the one because they were retaliating.
02:58:06.860 Shooting back.
02:58:12.560 All right, guys, it's up 59.
02:58:19.560 We're going to do Fresh to Fit here soon.
02:58:23.360 So.
02:58:33.440 Change the title a little bit of the stream.
02:58:34.900 Let me let me check and see if we if we're going to go live right now or if I still have some more time.

03:00:04.480 So this is when Israel is getting attacked.
03:00:06.120 This looks like Tel Aviv.
03:00:11.460 And as you guys know, anytime they're getting, you know, missiles are coming over,
03:00:15.140 they flare these loud-ass alarms, and the Iron Dome starts shooting them down.
03:00:32.260 Shout out to St. Francis.
