- 2:47Speaker 1: I don't know who your NBA team is, but I hope the best for y'all, but I am loving the Cavs right now.
- 2:55Speaker 1: Thank you for taking me off our heartbreak highway with them, damn Browns, and giving me something to smile about.
- 3:02Speaker 1: I remember the first game I went to when I was a kid.
- 3:06Speaker 1: Go see the Cavs.
- 3:08Speaker 1: I believe my dad took me, or I think it was my dad and my uncle.
- 3:11Speaker 1: We went to the game and y'all those fucking seats.
- 3:18Speaker 1: I was a kid, those seats were so fucking high I didn't know what the hell was going on.
- 3:26Speaker 1: I couldn't see shit All I saw.
- 3:29Speaker 1: First of all, I appreciate it going.
- 3:32Speaker 1: I loved it.
- 3:33Speaker 1: I'm just telling you how high the fucking seats was.
- 3:37Speaker 1: This is when I first learned what the term nosebleeds were, because I had told somebody where I was sitting before we went to the game and they said it was in the nosebleeds.
- 3:44Speaker 1: I I had told somebody where I was sitting and they before we went to the game and they said that was in the nosebleeds.
- 3:48Speaker 1: I thought that was good, I thought nosebleeds was a good section.
- 3:51Speaker 1: I was like sweet, I'm in the fucking nosebleeds.
- 3:55Speaker 1: I didn't know what the fuck I didn't get with that, why they were saying that until I got there and I said oh, because you're so fucking high, your nose will bleed.
- 4:05Speaker 1: I don't say those fuckers, but it was like watching silent basketball.
- 4:10Speaker 1: Because you're so high, it's like the sound, like you're hot, you're too high for the sound barrier, like the sound can't even travel as far as we were.
- 4:19Speaker 1: Joe was like watching.
- 4:21Speaker 1: You could kind of see motion, but you don't know, you don't hear shit.
- 4:25Speaker 1: You just hear kind of the crowd.
- 4:27Speaker 1: But the court is fucking quiet as hell.
- 4:31Speaker 1: But shout out.
- 4:32Speaker 1: It was my first experience.
- 4:33Speaker 1: So guess what I did?
- 4:34Speaker 1: I went to sleep.
- 4:36Speaker 1: I probably made it through the first quarter.
- 4:39Speaker 1: Then I slept all the way through the fourth quarter.
- 4:42Speaker 1: So I think my dad and my uncle was a little, if I remember they was a little mad or a little upset talking about how I fell asleep.
- 4:50Speaker 1: I'm like ain't nobody ask y'all to give me these high ass.
- 4:55Speaker 1: I can't that altitude put me to sleep.
- 5:00Speaker 1: Y'all.
- 5:00Speaker 1: Don't put me all the way up here by the clouds and then get mad at me because I go to sleep anyway.
- 5:10Speaker 1: Flow, that's no filter.
- 5:13Speaker 1: Nobody get mad about me telling secrets.
- 5:17Speaker 1: Telling secrets anyway.
- 5:18Speaker 1: Y'all, y'all, y'all, y' and if you're sitting in the nose, please, ain't nothing wrong with it y'all.
- 5:27Speaker 1: I'm just telling y'all my experience.
- 5:29Speaker 1: If you're even blessed to ever even see a game, anybody want to take you to a game or spend their hard-earned money, whether you're sitting on the floor or you're sitting up there by the rafters, I appreciate it all the same.
- 5:44Speaker 1: Anyway, let's get started.
- 5:47Speaker 1: We're going to start off with Mohawk.
- 5:52Speaker 1: Diddy, my boy.
- 5:52Speaker 1: Oh my God.
- 5:57Speaker 1: They are throwing everything against the wall and hoping it stick, and that wall ain't been very kind.
- 6:03Speaker 1: But first of all, diddy, I tried to tell y'all stop underestimating the Dittler, aka Sean Diddy Combs.
- 6:16Speaker 1: He is going to be a tough opponent.
- 6:19Speaker 1: I already see his strategy y'all, so we're going to have to dive into that.
- 6:34Speaker 1: So, as always, welcome to the Flow Show.
- 6:39Speaker 1: No Filter, the podcast where I dive deep into these stories, cover the breaking news, connect the dots, stir pots and and and that's what I love to do and give you the truth y'all.
- 6:58Speaker 1: As y'all know, my name is flow and right now, let's get into this Diddy mess.
- 7:06Speaker 1: Let's unpack this.
- 7:07Speaker 1: Let's unpack this.
- 7:08Speaker 1: So, first of all, before I get into what his lawyers are talking about, so, uh, don Richards, that was the young lady from Danny D Cain and she was in the group Dirty Money with Diddy.
- 7:22Speaker 1: She was one of Diddy's artists.
- 7:24Speaker 1: She sued him for some type of sexual assault.
- 7:30Speaker 1: She had one of the lawsuits you know Diddy got a million of them.
- 7:37Speaker 1: Well, that lawsuit struck a nerve so much with Diddy and it raised so much noise that Diddy ended up paying allegedly paying another artist that was in the group Dirty Money with Dawn and Diddy paid her her name is Kalina Harper, I believe paid her allegedly to basically bash Dawn.
- 7:59Speaker 1: It was ugly y'all.
- 8:01Speaker 1: This was a months back.
- 8:02Speaker 1: I covered it on my page.
- 8:04Speaker 1: It's one of my most viral videos, the Don Richards lawsuit but anyway, that case has been dismissed.
- 8:15Speaker 1: You the docket, um, it's gonna be some legal mumbo jumbo, but you'll pretty much get what it's saying.
- 8:34Speaker 1: So this is a notice of voluntary dismissal.
- 8:35Speaker 1: Uh, let's see here, okay.
- 8:36Speaker 1: Uh, we hereby give notice that the above caption action is voluntarily dismissed, without prejudice against the defendants, diago Supply which that's the liquor company and Surratt, because they were on the lawsuit as well, filed by Don Angelique Richard.
- 9:02Speaker 1: So basically what I'm thinking here, y'allall and we don't have confirmation on this, we just know it's dismissed.
- 9:09Speaker 1: It will come out, but I'm pretty much can bet there was some type of settlement reached here and if that's the case, this is Diddy's, this is his plan of attack.
- 9:24Speaker 1: If you notice, this is gonna be his strategy, y'all.
- 9:27Speaker 1: If you notice this got dismissed after his last bail hearing, where he was denied again.
- 9:37Speaker 1: Because this has been going on this, they've been going back and forth.
- 9:40Speaker 1: They could have dismissed this before, but I think now that diddy is pretty much knowing he's not getting bail anytime soon, or or it's not easy the only way he can either get bail well, it's going to do two things.
- 9:55Speaker 1: Let me, let me, let me back up.
- 9:56Speaker 1: It's going to do two things.
- 9:58Speaker 1: Not only will this give him, uh, a possibility.
- 10:02Speaker 1: This strategy, this new strategy, will give him a possibility.
- 10:04Speaker 1: This strategy, this new strategy, will give him a possibility, maybe, of bail, is what he thinking, maybe and also help him in his case, and this is what he's doing.
- 10:18Speaker 1: He is going to try to pay off all of the major, major lawsuits and when I say major lawsuits, I mean, like the lawsuits making the most noise.
- 10:31Speaker 1: Um, because, at the end of the day, let's just be honest, everybody has some price and everybody wants some type of settlement.
- 10:40Speaker 1: So I'm not here to, we're not here to judge who's taking money, who's this, and that people are dealing with their trauma the way they want to deal with it.
- 10:47Speaker 1: So let's clear the air on that.
- 10:49Speaker 1: What we are talking about Is Diddy's strategy and and why he's doing it, why he would do it and why why it's going to be it would actually help him is why I'm telling y'all we got to pay attention to this, this and and and and definitely support these victims, because diddy is not going without a fight.
- 11:12Speaker 1: See, his thinking is, I'm is probably, and his lawyers are probably telling him look if you can quiet, because, like he going back and forth with Dawn, they didn't do nothing but make it worse.
- 11:30Speaker 1: Allegedly whether it's true or it's not she is an alleged victim saying something that a lot of other victims are saying about Diddy.
- 11:38Speaker 1: So there's no win for him to just argue and try to throw mud.
- 11:42Speaker 1: That's a game he can't win.
- 11:45Speaker 1: But what he can do and this is similar to what deshaun watson did, even just even, though it was different, because deshaun watson, uh, the football player who had all those uh lawsuits about the happy ending massages or whatever well, he eventually paid off about 20-something people, 20-something cases, and it quieted it all down.
- 12:10Speaker 1: He reached settlements, but before that he was, you know, trying to argue back and forth and saying, you know, throwing mud at mud and that's never going to work.
- 12:23Speaker 1: So let's go back to Diddy.
- 12:25Speaker 1: So, diddy, this is the first step.
- 12:27Speaker 1: So watch how many more lawsuits we see get dropped in the near future.
- 12:37Speaker 1: I believe Diddy is going to and this is going to do two things.
- 12:41Speaker 1: He's going to all of the lawsuits that are making noise.
- 12:45Speaker 1: He's going to try to clear all of them up and come up with a budget to clear all that up and at that point in his mind in his legal defense, then they can quiet down the public pressure that they have on diddy with these, with these lawsuits and stuff in these cases, and people are mad and upset and all of that.
- 13:11Speaker 1: They can calm all that down by just paying off all of these different lawsuits and getting them dropped.
- 13:16Speaker 1: Then that gives them a better case for uh bail and in the case as well, because dong could be a witness and probably would be a witness in in the upcoming trial in may.
- 13:32Speaker 1: But if she reaches a settlement and now she might not be a witness, she might plead the fifth or she just might not even be called.
- 13:44Speaker 1: She might not want to be a part of it, whatever.
- 13:49Speaker 1: But as, as we continue, I want y'all to pay attention, watch y'all watch how y'all start seeing diddy more of these lawsuits being dropped.
- 13:58Speaker 1: Now I'm not saying all of them, but I believe this is diddy's new strategy and I'm paying attention now.
- 14:07Speaker 1: Is it gonna work?
- 14:08Speaker 1: I don't think so, because he guilty as hell.
- 14:11Speaker 1: Um, and it's in the evidence is.
- 14:15Speaker 1: There's mountains of evidence from what I've seen, but I, at any rate, I think, I think that's his strategy.
- 14:24Speaker 1: So let's pay attention.
- 14:26Speaker 1: So just so you know, don Richards, that lawsuit has been dropped.
- 14:36Speaker 1: If I get any information about you know if it was a settlement or any updates on that, you know I'm going to keep y'all in tuned and let y'all know for sure.
- 14:50Speaker 1: I'm watching that one closely.
- 14:50Speaker 1: But I thought that was an interesting development, especially right after his last uh denial for bail.
- 14:56Speaker 1: Now it's like he's in, like okay, he's in a new strategy.
- 15:01Speaker 1: He got a new strategy, now he didn't get out.
- 15:02Speaker 1: So now this is what he's going to do, because he could have.
- 15:05Speaker 1: He could have settled that and paid that before, in my humble opinion.
- 15:13Speaker 1: Now this once celebrated music mogul, diddy, has another thing that him and his attorneys are working on.
- 15:22Speaker 1: Diddy is saying he's being spied on.
- 15:27Speaker 1: Spied on, yeah, diddy is now saying that he's being spied on y'all.
- 15:40Speaker 1: He he's complaining to the court, saying that he is being spied on and actually making up made a motion.
- 15:50Speaker 1: Let's get into that.
- 15:52Speaker 1: This is an outrageous claim to say that they are spying on him in jail.
- 15:58Speaker 1: Now let's see.
- 15:59Speaker 1: Are these claims credible or is Diddy just pulling another trick out of his Mohawk Diddy bag?
- 16:09Speaker 1: So let's start with the facts here, as we always do.
- 16:14Speaker 1: Sean Diddy Combs, or, as I like to call him, mohawk Diddy, is currently in federal custody.
- 16:25Speaker 1: You guys know that.
- 16:26Speaker 1: Y'all know his charges Racketeering, sex trafficking and other related crimes.
- 16:34Speaker 1: None of those are minor offenses.
- 16:40Speaker 1: But now things have took another turn and another page has been turned in the Diddy playbook.
- 16:52Speaker 1: Diddy and his high powered legal team now allege that prosecutors are spying on him while he's in jail.
- 17:01Speaker 1: Newsflash Diddy is jail.
- 17:08Speaker 1: They look at you when you in jail.
- 17:09Speaker 1: But let's continue.
- 17:10Speaker 1: According to the new filings, they claim that federal investigators searched his cell, photographed his private hidden handwritten notes and shared notes with the prosecution team.
- 17:20Speaker 1: They say this is a disturbing violation of his rights, one that makes it impossible for him to get a fair trial.
- 17:32Speaker 1: Now are y'all reading between those lines?
- 17:33Speaker 1: They are basically lobbying for a mistrial or to dismiss this whole case For someone who can't even get a bond.
- 17:47Speaker 1: I think that's a stretch, but let's continue.
- 17:55Speaker 1: Now.
- 17:55Speaker 1: Here is what Diddy's team is actually saying.
- 17:58Speaker 1: First, they claim the government is using his detention to spy on him and invade his confidential communications with his lawyers.
- 18:10Speaker 1: Second, they argue that these actions are a direct attack on his ability to prepare a defense.
- 18:19Speaker 1: In their words, quote Mr Combs cannot possibly receive a fair trial if he is not permitted to Conference privately and confidentially with this, with his counsel and others working at their direction.
- 18:43Speaker 1: They also claim the prosecution is using this to gain an unfair advantage, turning Diddy's trial preparation into a weapon formed against him.
- 18:57Speaker 1: But wait, you think it in there, but it don't.
- 19:03Speaker 1: This isn't the first time that they tried this mess.
- 19:05Speaker 1: His team previously alleged misconduct after a so-called routine sales search, if y'all remember, remember they claimed the search wasn't routine at all, calling it a pretext to target Diddy specifically, specifically, and in their view, this is all part of a grand conspiracy to undermine his defense.
- 19:34Speaker 1: Do they understand what jail is y'all?
- 19:36Speaker 1: Do they understand that when you are in jail for a reason, do they think it's like almost like Diddy thinks you have the same rights in jail as you do outside of jail?
- 19:52Speaker 1: Um, they are going to watch you.
- 19:57Speaker 1: To a certain extent it's jail, but is it?
- 20:07Speaker 1: Or is this another attempt by a powerful man who's used to calling the shots to try to twist it?
- 20:22Speaker 1: Because I don't have to explain that.
- 20:26Speaker 1: People watch you in prison, in jail.
- 20:28Speaker 1: We all know that.
- 20:30Speaker 1: We all know that going to prison, we're not going to be having the same freedoms as we do in our home.
- 20:40Speaker 1: So you know there's something more to it.
- 20:44Speaker 1: So how did they respond?
- 20:47Speaker 1: How did the government respond to this?
- 20:49Speaker 1: Prosecutors, of course, denied all of this shit.
- 20:54Speaker 1: They say the sales search was pre-planned and not aimed specifically at diddy at all.
- 21:02Speaker 1: They also insist that their actions were motivated by legitimate security concerns, not some underhanded conspiracy plot.
- 21:13Speaker 1: Way to go prosecution.
- 21:16Speaker 1: One thing about this prosecution they come out swinging.
- 21:20Speaker 1: I ain't gonna lie.
- 21:21Speaker 1: And here's something important At diddy's last bail hearing, judge aaron sabramanian you know I'm horrible with that name, y'all leave me alone, cut me some slack he ruled that anything found during the sales sweep couldn't be considered in the trial.
- 21:43Speaker 1: The judge even ordered prosecutors to destroy the copies of diddy's notes.
- 21:49Speaker 1: So if diddy's claims hold water, why is the judge taking these steps to keep things fair?
- 21:56Speaker 1: That is the question.
- 22:01Speaker 1: So let's step back and ask an even more critical question.
- 22:05Speaker 1: Why is Diddy even making these accusations now?
- 22:09Speaker 1: Why not before?
- 22:13Speaker 1: This is this, this, this happened a while ago.
- 22:16Speaker 1: This is a man who built an empire, spent decades calling the shots, from his early days in the music industry to his fashion ventures, liquor and more.
- 22:30Speaker 1: Diddy has always been in control, can't you tell?
- 22:36Speaker 1: Now jail, however, it's an entirely different story.
- 22:42Speaker 1: Behind bars, he's just another inmate, subject to rules, searches and surveillance, just like everyone else, just like everyone else.
- 22:58Speaker 1: Could it be that Diddy's allegations are less about truth and more about ego?
- 23:08Speaker 1: Is he trying to regain control of a situation where he has no control?
- 23:15Speaker 1: So let's talk about these charges.
- 23:16Speaker 1: Let's not lose sight of the bigger picture.
- 23:19Speaker 1: Diddy is facing some serious charges, charges that, if they are proven, paint an extremely disturbing, troubling picture.
- 23:31Speaker 1: We talking about sex trafficking, racketeering and transporting individuals for prostitution.
- 23:39Speaker 1: These are not just crimes.
- 23:42Speaker 1: I consider these abuses of power, and yet diddy's defense seems focused on these alleged violations of his rights in jail.
- 23:56Speaker 1: Is this a distraction, or is it a way to shift the narrative from the allegations against him to to his treatment as a prisoner?
- 24:07Speaker 1: They play a bit, they.
- 24:10Speaker 1: They play a a serious game, y'all, and right now we're witnessing it in real time.
- 24:19Speaker 1: So let's dig deeper into these claims of jailhouse spying and misconduct.
- 24:24Speaker 1: If the prosecutors were truly spying on Diddy and sharing privileged information with their team, that would be a serious violation.
- 24:38Speaker 1: But think about it why in the fuck would they take such a risk, knowing it could jeopardize the entire case.
- 24:49Speaker 1: What's far more likely is that the search was just like the prosecutor said it was a routine security measure.
- 24:59Speaker 1: Prisons, jails are searched all the time and if Diddy's notes were photographed, perhaps it was a procedural misstep, not a deliberate act of sabotage.
- 25:13Speaker 1: Misstep, not a deliberate act of sabotage.
- 25:16Speaker 1: The judge's decision to destroy the note suggests that the court is taking steps to ensure fairness to Diddy, but Diddy is still pushing the narrative like it's unfair.
- 25:32Speaker 1: Diddy's story has always been of reinvention, turning himself into a cultural icon, a mogul, a household name.
- 25:43Speaker 1: But now, as he fights for his freedom, the tactics are telling.
- 25:51Speaker 1: By accusing prosecutors of misconduct, he's painting himself as the victim yet again.
- 26:00Speaker 1: But if he's successful in swaying um and painting himself as a victim, that could help sway public opinion in his favor.
- 26:12Speaker 1: But let's not forget the real victims in this case are the individuals who are allegedly exploited by Diddy's actions.
- 26:21Speaker 1: Where is their voice in all of this?
- 26:25Speaker 1: And how does Diddy's claim of being spied on compared to the gravity of the charges against him?
- 26:34Speaker 1: In other words, the egregious things that Diddy is accused of pale in comparison of talking about somebody not treating you good and spying on you, talking about somebody's not treating you good and spying on you.
- 26:58Speaker 1: This case, like we always say, it's not just about Diddy.
- 27:02Speaker 1: It's about power, privilege and accountability, and that's what we are paying attention to.
- 27:07Speaker 1: Are these.
- 27:08Speaker 1: Can the court continue to hold people like Diddy accountable, just like they hold me and you accountable?
- 27:20Speaker 1: Diddy's claims Of being unfairly targeted feel less like a fight for justice and more like a fight for control.
- 27:28Speaker 1: He is in jail trying to be a boss, but you're not a boss in jail, baby, you're not in charge.
- 27:37Speaker 1: You have to be told boss, but you're not a boss in jail, baby, you're not in charge.
- 27:39Speaker 1: You have to be told what to do.
- 27:40Speaker 1: You have somebody watching your every fucking move.
- 27:43Speaker 1: You're in jail.
- 27:48Speaker 1: He needs to come to that realization.
- 27:55Speaker 1: The fact that he is not in charge is really the real key thing that's fueling his accusations.
- 27:59Speaker 1: So where does that leave us?
- 28:04Speaker 1: Diddy's claims of spying and misconduct are serious, but they also serve his interest in diverting attention from the charges against him.
- 28:17Speaker 1: Now, as this case unfolds, it's up to the courts, it's not up to Diddy, it's not up to me, it's not up to you.
- 28:25Speaker 1: It's up to the courts to determine the truth.
- 28:29Speaker 1: But here's my question for you Do you believe what Diddy is saying, his accusations, do you believe he's being spied on?
- 28:42Speaker 1: Do you believe he's being unfairly treat, he's been treated unfairly, or do you think this is just a calculated move by a man who's desperate to avoid accountability and desperate to gain control?
- 28:56Speaker 1: Let me know, as always in the uh fan mail.
- 29:03Speaker 1: We are watching this closely, or you could just dm me in my, in my uh, on my social media pages.
- 29:10Speaker 1: But this thing is heating up and I'm anxious to see how many more uh, how many more lawsuits are settled like.
- 29:30Speaker 1: That is gonna tell me a lot, but I'm I'm pretty sure y'all pay attention.
- 29:33Speaker 1: That is gonna to tell me a lot, but I'm I'm pretty sure y'all pay attention.
- 29:37Speaker 1: That is going to be Diddy's next, next uh plan of attack.
- 29:41Speaker 1: He is going to try to pay off and get as many of these big lawsuits or when I say big, the lawsuits making the most noise.
- 29:49Speaker 1: He going to try to quiet them down.
- 29:51Speaker 1: This is a crazy world we live in.
- 29:55Speaker 1: 'all it's a it's a fight between justice, injustice, good evil all of that and we seen it play out.
- 30:06Speaker 1: What was that?
- 30:07Speaker 1: Yesterday, the CEO for United Healthcare, which had his brains blew out, in front of everything in a busy whatever busy traffic intersection.
- 30:25Speaker 1: I mean a powerful figure gunned down in the heart of midtown Manhattan, and we got all the latest on that.
- 30:38Speaker 1: It's been so many twists and turns to this Thompson murder it feels more like a plot, like a thriller movie, than a real life event.
- 30:50Speaker 1: But this shit ain't no movie y'all.
- 30:56Speaker 1: And them latest, the latest developments paint an even more disturbing picture like let's start with everything we know, uh, about the the brian thompson.
- 31:14Speaker 1: He was a 50 year old CEO of United Health Care.
- 31:17Speaker 1: He was in New York City for the United Health Care Investors Conference.
- 31:23Speaker 1: He was staying at the Hilton Hotel, a place where his schedule was publicly known, but at 6.40 am on December 4th his life was cut short in a targeted, brazen attack right outside of his hotel.
- 31:44Speaker 1: The gunman approached Thompson as he crossed the street to the Hilton.
- 31:55Speaker 1: Surveillance footage shows the suspect lying and waiting and had, with a mask on, armed and ready to blast.
- 32:06Speaker 1: What's even more chilling is the methodical way he carried out the attack.
- 32:13Speaker 1: He shot Thompson at close range y'all like really close range then walked even closer to fire again.
- 32:21Speaker 1: At one point the gun jammed and he calmly cleared the jam and continued to shoot.
- 32:28Speaker 1: We said from the beginning this wasn't a random attack, and we got more clues, y'all, and more evidence that it obviously wasn't, and it's going to chill your bones.
- 32:44Speaker 1: First, let's talk about that weapon.
- 32:46Speaker 1: The shooter used a B&T Station 6, known in the UK as a wellward pistol.
- 32:54Speaker 1: This is no ordinary firearm.
- 32:57Speaker 1: It's a specialized weapon with a long barrel that allows for nearly silent shots Quiet, while not technically a silencer, it's designed for stealth.
- 33:15Speaker 1: It's designed to be quiet as fuck, requiring manual cycling of the ammunition.
- 33:23Speaker 1: This gun is not easy to obtain and investigators are already tracking all the recent purchases of this gun.
- 33:36Speaker 1: Now just imagine the level of planning it takes to acquire such a weapon.
- 33:44Speaker 1: This wasn't a spur-of-the-moment crime.
- 33:46Speaker 1: Someone wanted Brian Thompson dead and they wanted it done quietly, yet in front of everybody to see.
- 33:53Speaker 1: Think about that In the middle of Midtown Manhattan.
- 34:03Speaker 1: Now, as far as the killer's trail, it's apparent that they are on his heels, but then, at the same time, it seems like they're nowhere near him.
- 34:20Speaker 1: And when I say they, I'm talking about the police.
- 34:24Speaker 1: The law enforcement Police have released images of this guy, and the details are as bizarre as they are chilling, bizarre as they are chilling.
- 34:38Speaker 1: This man isn't some shadowy, invisible figure.
- 34:44Speaker 1: He was caught on, like all kinds of cameras, y'all, all kinds of surveillance Even smiled in one, looking like a next top model with a chiseled chin and a chiseled nose.
- 35:01Speaker 1: He was actually even flirting with one of the workers in a picture.
- 35:08Speaker 1: I mean only word.
- 35:25Speaker 1: I back to Atlanta, georgia.
- 35:27Speaker 1: He arrived in New York City by Greyhound bus and spent weeks in the city.
- 35:36Speaker 1: Listen to this y'all.
- 35:37Speaker 1: He checked into a hotel on the upper west side using a fake new jersey id but was traced back to atlanta, georgia.
- 35:48Speaker 1: He arrived in new york city by greyhound bus and spent weeks in the city moving around and preparing for the attack.
- 36:01Speaker 1: Detectives are piecing together his movements, canvassing the surveillance footage from Port Authority, the subway system and other hotels in the area.
- 36:20Speaker 1: Now that brings us up to the day of the crime.
- 36:21Speaker 1: This is what we know as of right now, at the time of this episode of this podcast, the Flow Show no Filter.
- 36:29Speaker 1: Here's what we know about that day.
- 36:31Speaker 1: The suspect was seen at 5 am, two hours before the shooting.
- 36:39Speaker 1: This was right outside the frederick douglas houses, a public housing complex on the upper west side.
- 36:45Speaker 1: He was carrying what appeared to be an e-bike battery, likely to be part of his getaway plan.
- 36:54Speaker 1: This motherfucker was prepared, y'all, and he didn't do this alone.
- 37:02Speaker 1: This is this is this does not seem like a lone desperado type of thing.
- 37:08Speaker 1: Now.
- 37:12Speaker 1: After the murder, he fled on foot into an alley where the police recovered a phone believed to belong to him.
- 37:21Speaker 1: He then used the e-bike to escape into Central Park, vanishing into the city's paths and streets.
- 37:30Speaker 1: So he he left that phone on purpose, y'all.
- 37:37Speaker 1: Let's be honest, he was so strategic and tactical there's no way on fucking earth you could convince me that he just fumbled and dropped his phone.
- 37:48Speaker 1: So I believe that phone was left on purpose and to throw off, like whatever information in it is just going to throw off authorities.
- 37:59Speaker 1: That's just my humble opinion.
- 38:03Speaker 1: But speaking of clues left behind, let's talk about some more.
- 38:07Speaker 1: He left behind bullet casings and the bullet casings had the words deny, defend and depose in it and those messages.
- 38:23Speaker 1: They hint at the motive, but we don't really know for sure.
- 38:28Speaker 1: But if you listen to my podcast yesterday or any of my posts on social media, there's a book called Deny, defend, depose, but one of those words is different, but it's pretty much the same words with a slight variation, but it's a book about insurance companies denying claims, and so it's ironic that those words would be left on shell casings.
- 38:56Speaker 1: Now, police also recovered a water bottle and a candy wrapper believed to be linked to the shooter.
- 39:02Speaker 1: Dna and fingerprint analysis are underway and these items could provide the breakthrough investigators need to identify the killer.
- 39:16Speaker 1: I can't say for sure, y'all, I'm anxious to see, but the way this was planned out, I just I really want to.
- 39:24Speaker 1: I this seems like the type of criminal that left clues, like on purpose, but I could be wrong on that.
- 39:33Speaker 1: That's not something like I'm not standing 10 toes on that.
- 39:36Speaker 1: I'll stand about six toes.
- 39:39Speaker 1: I'm standing six toes on that.
- 39:42Speaker 1: These clues, or some of these clues, might have been like dummy clues left behind on purpose, but we'll see.
- 39:52Speaker 1: So the big question why would someone target Brian?
- 39:58Speaker 1: As of now, there's just speculation.
- 40:05Speaker 1: No, clear, clear, clear motive he was attending a high profile conference.
- 40:13Speaker 1: Now, y'all know the motives I discuss, but at this time he was he was attending a high profile conference and this schedule was widely available.
- 40:23Speaker 1: Could this have been a business dispute With a lot of investors in town, and for it to be done with the investors there.
- 40:32Speaker 1: Hmm, makes could make sense, but it could be darker than that.
- 40:38Speaker 1: But we know for sure one thing it wasn't random.
- 40:46Speaker 1: Nypd Commissioner Jessica Titch described the attack as brazen and targeted.
- 40:53Speaker 1: Whoever did this knew exactly where thompson would be and planned every fucking detail of the killing.
- 41:00Speaker 1: So the man in the center of all this, brian thompson a ceo, a husband, a father and a, and a respected leader amongst his team, is what they're saying about him.
- 41:15Speaker 1: Now his wife released a statement describing him as an incredible, loving, generous and talented man who touched so many lives.
- 41:22Speaker 1: But here's an interesting detail the Thompsons have been living separately for years, owning two homes in the same Minneapolis suburb.
- 41:36Speaker 1: Now, does this personal detail have any connection to the case or is it just a coincidence?
- 41:45Speaker 1: There are so many theories, so much speculation and at this point this case is wide open and the theories and opinions are flying across the internet.
- 41:57Speaker 1: Some speculate that this could be tied to Thompson's role as CEO of United healthcare, one of the largest health insurance providers in the country, also the top denied as far as denial.
- 42:13Speaker 1: I don't remember the exact percentage, but it was very high.
- 42:16Speaker 1: Uh, I want to say almost 30 percent denial rate which, oh man, there's so much to dive in.
- 42:24Speaker 1: It's some, it's some craziness behind those denials, but anyway, could a business deal gone, gone wrong, have led to this assassination y'all?
- 42:38Speaker 1: Or was it something more personal?
- 42:40Speaker 1: Was it somebody who just got denied coverage?
- 42:44Speaker 1: Or maybe the guy's wife got denied coverage?
- 42:47Speaker 1: Was it something like that?
- 42:49Speaker 1: It's so many different things.
- 42:50Speaker 1: When you, when you deny a lot of innocent people coverage and then you do alleged insider trading, you got court coming up, you got people scared, you're about to flip.
- 43:03Speaker 1: There's really no telling who did this.
- 43:08Speaker 1: And this is a reason which is probably why they even felt so confident to do it, because they said, look, this guy got so many enemies from so many different directions they won't know who the hell hit him, who knows?
- 43:21Speaker 1: But then there's that cryptic message on the casings Deny, defend and depose.
- 43:29Speaker 1: These words Suggest a level of symbolism or intent that goes beyond just a simple grudge.
- 43:39Speaker 1: I believe the killer was sending a message.
- 43:43Speaker 1: Now, could that message been genuine?
- 43:50Speaker 1: Or could that message been to throw off and make it look like it's somebody else?
- 43:55Speaker 1: This is a wild one, y'all.
- 43:57Speaker 1: We have to look at all possibilities Now, as of now.
- 44:04Speaker 1: The suspect remains on the run at the time of this episode of this podcast.
- 44:08Speaker 1: What is it now?
- 44:09Speaker 1: It is Friday, december 6th, so as of right now, he's still on the run.
- 44:16Speaker 1: They've shown his photo to other hotel residents, tracked his movements on surveillance video and even visited a gun shop in Connecticut that sold a similar weapon to the one he used.
- 44:29Speaker 1: The NYPD is asking for the public's help, urging anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
- 44:38Speaker 1: These authorities are racing against time, y'all, because the longer it takes, the farther away this guy could be Shit by now.
- 44:52Speaker 1: He might have flown across the globe by now.
- 44:55Speaker 1: But there are a lot of clues out there and one thing I can say they working overtime on this because of the public reaction.
- 45:07Speaker 1: This case has sent shockwaves through the business world and beyond.
- 45:11Speaker 1: A high-profile CEO murdered in cold blood raises questions about safety, power and vulnerability.
- 45:18Speaker 1: And I have something to add.
- 45:21Speaker 1: Another uh, health care place has did something because of this that I think y'all gonna be interested in.
- 45:28Speaker 1: One second, let me.
- 45:30Speaker 1: Let's finish deep diving, going through the case, updating the case, and and then I will.
- 45:36Speaker 1: I'm going to let you know about that as well.
- 45:38Speaker 1: If someone like Brian can be targeted, anybody could be targeted.
- 45:47Speaker 1: But when you, I'm telling you the public is tired of these denials and when you look at the chart, a united health care denial rate is extremely high.
- 46:00Speaker 1: And they ran into money problems and lied about it.
- 46:03Speaker 1: So they were denying it because they they didn't have the money.
- 46:07Speaker 1: They messed the money up, and that's a whole other story.
- 46:11Speaker 1: So let's not forget about the human side of this.
- 46:16Speaker 1: People are tired.
- 46:19Speaker 1: We have to figure out a better way.
- 46:23Speaker 1: Now it's blasting people uh, ceos, heads off to answer no.
- 46:28Speaker 1: But when you keep taking advantage of the people, man, anything is liable to happen.
- 46:35Speaker 1: And at the end of the day, man, anything is liable to happen.
- 46:37Speaker 1: And at the end of the day, a family still lost a husband and a father and a friend.
- 46:40Speaker 1: It's sad, no matter what way you look at it.
- 46:47Speaker 1: But I understand the public's frustration with the insurance health insurance it's people dying every day because they're getting denied unfairly.
- 46:55Speaker 1: Frustration with the insurance health insurance it's people dying every day because they're getting denied unfairly and the impact of this crime is profound.
- 47:04Speaker 1: So let's keep this is another one we're gonna keep walk a close watch on.
- 47:14Speaker 1: And one thing is clear this is a complex, chilling story that right now has way more questions than answers.
- 47:25Speaker 1: Who the hell was this guy?
- 47:27Speaker 1: What the hell hell was his motive?
- 47:29Speaker 1: And will he be brought to justice are just three questions that I could think of off the top of my head.
- 47:35Speaker 1: I'm going to follow this one closely, just like the other ones, because I believe there's something way more to this, a lot of layers to this, and I'm going to peel back every last one of them.
- 47:46Speaker 1: In the meantime, like I say, with all the stories that I talk about, let me know what your thoughts is.
- 47:52Speaker 1: I read all of my fan mail.
- 47:54Speaker 1: I read all I'm gonna say.
- 47:55Speaker 1: I read all of my social media messages, but I try I read all the ones I see.
- 48:00Speaker 1: I read and and I enjoy the feedback and listening to some of you guys ideas, um, and sometimes your guys ideas open me up to more ideas.
- 48:09Speaker 1: So please pay attention, because it's a fine line between the same ones that we think is helping and working for us.
- 48:20Speaker 1: Sometimes are the same ones cheating.
- 48:23Speaker 1: So we got to watch everybody Because this perfect example the Liam Payne case.
- 48:31Speaker 1: Here's a singer, well-known singer, in the group One Direction.
- 48:39Speaker 1: He goes to where did he go?
- 48:44Speaker 1: Argentina, at a hotel.
- 48:49Speaker 1: He's fine.
- 48:51Speaker 1: As far as we know, he's talking to fans.
- 48:55Speaker 1: We have footage of all of that.
- 48:58Speaker 1: Next thing we know he allegedly fell in quotes.
- 49:04Speaker 1: I got the heaviest.
- 49:05Speaker 1: You should see my fingers.
- 49:07Speaker 1: Y'all Serious quotes around.
- 49:09Speaker 1: He fell off a third floor balcony to his demise and it's been nothing but lies after lies, after lies and now we got more lies.
- 49:24Speaker 1: This is one that we've been covering this case from the day, from what was it last month or a month or two ago when it started.
- 49:33Speaker 1: We've been covering it ever since and from the first day I said there they were lying, before a lot of people even thought.
- 49:43Speaker 1: And now, as as as time is going by, more and more, now everybody's lying and being caught in lies and mainly two people are, two entities that are being caught in the boldest lies of this young man, liam Payne, who this mysterious as murder.
- 50:03Speaker 1: I'm calling it murder.
- 50:04Speaker 1: This was not no suicide, this was not no accident.
- 50:07Speaker 1: But there's two entities that are just lying and I don't trust in this situation.
- 50:14Speaker 1: One is his friend, and here go my heavy quotes on friend.
- 50:18Speaker 1: My quote fingers are going crazy.
- 50:20Speaker 1: Y'all can't see him, but I mean quote friend.
- 50:23Speaker 1: I don't this.
- 50:25Speaker 1: Well, friends like this, who needs enemies.
- 50:27Speaker 1: Roger is one person that I don't trust in this and I don't trust the hotel.
- 50:32Speaker 1: And now they're both roger and the hotel.
- 50:34Speaker 1: Liam was standing is pointing the finger at each other.
- 50:40Speaker 1: Roger norris was a is an argentinian businessman and was supposed to be one of Liam's close friends, and Roger was with Liam the day he died y'all.
- 50:53Speaker 1: And he claims he did everything he could to help Liam.
- 50:59Speaker 1: But the details of the story don't add up.
- 51:03Speaker 1: The details of the story don't say that he did everything to help.
- 51:07Speaker 1: The details say he did everything to not help.
- 51:10Speaker 1: So we keep asking the question roger, is you lying?
- 51:16Speaker 1: Of course you are.
- 51:17Speaker 1: We all believe he's lying.
- 51:19Speaker 1: That's why he's being charged in this case.
- 51:26Speaker 1: Now roger has painted a picture that raises a lot of questions.
- 51:35Speaker 1: According to Roger, he visited Liam at the hotel three times on the day of his death.
- 51:42Speaker 1: He spent time with them ensuring he was in good spirits and left only 40 minutes before the fatal fall.
- 51:54Speaker 1: Quote, quote, unquote on the fall.
- 51:58Speaker 1: But why did he leave liam alone in the first place, especially if he's saying liam's behavior suggested he was in distress?
- 52:07Speaker 1: They don't add up.
- 52:13Speaker 1: Listen to this chain of events.
- 52:14Speaker 1: Y'all tell me if this makes sense.
- 52:16Speaker 1: First, roger says he visited Liam in his hotel room multiple times throughout the day.
- 52:22Speaker 1: Liam had been drinking heavily and Roger admits he knew Liam was in a fragile state.
- 52:28Speaker 1: He knew Liam was in a fragile state.
- 52:30Speaker 1: Later, roger claims there were at least 15 people in the hotel lobby joking and chatting with Liam when he left the hotel.
- 52:36Speaker 1: He says he thought this was a safe environment for Liam to be in.
- 52:40Speaker 1: Around 40 minutes later, liam is dead.
- 52:45Speaker 1: And then it gets murky from here.
- 52:48Speaker 1: And then it gets murky from here.
- 52:57Speaker 1: Rogers insists that Liam was trying to escape the room at the time of the fall.
- 53:00Speaker 1: He says Liam had a bag and a hat with him, as if he were preparing to leave.
- 53:05Speaker 1: But what was Liam trying to escape from, the fuck?
- 53:09Speaker 1: And why didn't Rogers stay with him longer if he knew Liam was in crisis?
- 53:16Speaker 1: Now this is where Rogers tried to throw the blame at the hotel.
- 53:21Speaker 1: Rogers has pointed fingers at the hotel constantly, has pointed fingers at the hotel constantly.
- 53:32Speaker 1: He also claims that the hotel operations manager knew about Liam's fragile state but failed to take the appropriate action.
- 53:46Speaker 1: Rogers expects the hotel to care more about his quote unquote friend than he does.
- 53:51Speaker 1: But I'm a fucking continue care more about his quote unquote friend than he does.
- 53:53Speaker 1: But I'm gonna fucking continue.
- 53:53Speaker 1: Rogers argues that the hotel staff should have intervened when it became clear that liam was intoxicated and struggling.
- 54:02Speaker 1: He's even gone as far as to blame the operations manager for leaving Liam unattended.
- 54:09Speaker 1: I saw in some legal documents Roger's attorney argued that the hotel's failure to provide medical support directly contributed to Liam's death.
- 54:19Speaker 1: So in other words, roger's throwing the hotel under the bus.
- 54:29Speaker 1: But here's the thing.
- 54:29Speaker 1: Roger's story doesn't sit right with me and it doesn't sit right with many people.
- 54:37Speaker 1: Critics are arguing that he's just deflecting the blame on the hotel to take the focus off of him.
- 54:43Speaker 1: After all, rogers was one of the last people to see Liam alive.
- 54:48Speaker 1: We know that he knew Liam had drinks.
- 54:52Speaker 1: He knew Liam needed help.
- 54:55Speaker 1: If he truly cared for Liam, why would he leave him alone for 40 minutes with strangers, knowing he's been drinking?
- 55:10Speaker 1: I don't know y'all.
- 55:11Speaker 1: I just don't know what to say about this.
- 55:16Speaker 1: Fucking Rogers.
- 55:17Speaker 1: Like what?
- 55:22Speaker 1: Why would he be escaping a room?
- 55:28Speaker 1: Why are they just saying that, like that's normal?
- 55:30Speaker 1: What was he trying to escape for?
- 55:33Speaker 1: So what they want us to believe is he was drinking and was trying to escape, and he was drunk and thought he could jump off three floor balcony.
- 55:46Speaker 1: Now rogers claimed he left because liam was surrounded by people in the lobby, but but was that really enough to ensure his safety?
- 55:56Speaker 1: And then, as far as the hotel, if they truly fail to provide medical care or whatever, then should they face some type of accountability?
- 56:08Speaker 1: I think so.
- 56:09Speaker 1: But finally, is it possible that Rogers isn't even telling the whole truth, which is what I'm thinking?
- 56:17Speaker 1: Could there be details that he's holding back?
- 56:20Speaker 1: Of course there are Details that might explain why Liam was left alone in such a vulnerable state.
- 56:28Speaker 1: What the fuck do you know, roger?
- 56:34Speaker 1: The public reaction to this tragedy has been overwhelming.
- 56:37Speaker 1: Fans are crying and mourning the loss of this talented artist and everybody wants answers, including me.
- 56:44Speaker 1: Roger Norris, once a supposed Close friend of Liam, now finds himself In the hot ass water.
- 56:57Speaker 1: Nobody understands why someone would leave a friend, especially a friend that popular, why you would just leave him there with all those people knowing he's in that state.
- 57:13Speaker 1: I just can't get over that, and many can't get over that.
- 57:16Speaker 1: But the hotel is in some hot water too, because, if the allegations against them are correct, they are going to pay financially and they're going to pay, their brand is going to take a hit which I don't even know.
- 57:30Speaker 1: If they give a shit financially and they're going to pay, their brand is going to take a hit which I don't even know.
- 57:33Speaker 1: If they give a shit, because this hotel doesn't sound like they even really care about what people think about them.
- 57:39Speaker 1: All I know is Liam was loved by millions and a devastating loss.
- 57:49Speaker 1: Death like this just crushes a lot of people and a devastating loss, death like this just crushes a lot of people, whether it's Roger, whether it's the hotel or a combination of both, or it's fucking Hollywood did it.
- 58:01Speaker 1: Whoever, someone needs to be held accountable, because this wasn't no fucking accident, it just wasn't, and we gonna stay on that ass.
- 58:17Speaker 1: No, diddy, appreciate y'all, y'all.
