- 0:48report today, and I'm happy about it
- 0:50because it's been kind of slow. It's the
- 0:52same old stories over and over again,
- 0:54but we got a few more interesting things
- 0:56today. So, we're going to get right into
- 0:58it. But before we get into some new
- 1:02stuff, we're going to uh talk a little
- 1:03bit about the Diddy thing. So, you know,
- 1:07today uh starts the Diddy trial. Well,
- 1:12sort of. Well, the picking the uh
- 1:14jewelry. So, that starts today. And I
- 1:18hear according to news sources that
- 1:21they're going to have a tough time
- 1:23finding
- 1:24um unbiased jurors. And I can understand
- 1:28why because I think a lot of the times
- 1:32um well not a lot of the times I think
- 1:34that people already kind of made up
- 1:36their minds. I don't know most people
- 1:39because of course, you know, it's in
- 1:41innocent until uh proven guilty,
- 1:45but most people that I know that I've
- 1:49talked to already kind of made up their
- 1:51mind. Either they're saying he's 100%
- 1:53guilty
- 1:54um or he is uh is innocent and they're
- 1:59they feel like they're just trying to
- 2:01take down uh another uh black man. I
- 2:05mean, I'm just going to say it. they're
- 2:07just trying to take down
- 2:08another rich black man. Or I've heard
- 2:12some people say that I believe that he
- 2:16did a lot of those crimes, but I don't
- 2:20believe that he did all of them. And I
- 2:24I'm on the borderline of that. I'm gonna
- 2:26be honest with you. I think he did quite
- 2:29a bit. I think he did quite a bit. And I
- 2:33think, you know, the feds usually
- 2:36won't go this far if they didn't have
- 2:39evidence evidence to prove that you did
- 2:41something. So, I think he in my opinion
- 2:44I I'm pretty sure that he did a lot of
- 2:47that. Now, it was so many cases against
- 2:51him and I think some of that was
- 2:54probably money grabs and and things like
- 2:57that, but I do think he's done enough
- 3:00for him to get jail time. So that's just
- 3:03my opinion, but you know, like I said,
- 3:06there are people that have difference
- 3:08differences of opinions and it's okay to
- 3:12have differences of opinions, but I do
- 3:14think that it it's going to be difficult
- 3:17to find an unbiased jewelry. And then
- 3:20especially after that Cassie recording
- 3:23that was broadcasted everywhere.
- 3:27Um that I think he hurt himself really
- 3:30bad with that because he was denying
- 3:34denying denying I didn't do these things
- 3:36yada yada yada. And it was like the next
- 3:39day or the couple of days after we saw
- 3:41that video that he didn't do anything to
- 3:43Cassie. So it made him look like he
- 3:48could be a liar. You know, it it made
- 3:51him look like, okay, I wanted to believe
- 3:53you, Puff, but you know, you said this
- 3:56wasn't this, and then not even a minute
- 4:00later, we sitting up here watching the
- 4:02video. So
- 4:05that made it real for a lot of people
- 4:08that says, "Yeah, well, he could have
- 4:10possibly done these things because you
- 4:12sat up there and you played in our
- 4:14faces." So, it's it's going to be a
- 4:17trip. I'm really interested. I don't
- 4:19think the actual trial starts until the
- 4:2212th, I believe. Correct me if I'm
- 4:25wrong. Put it in the comments, but I
- 4:26think it starts on the 12th um when the
- 4:29actual trial starts. But this is going
- 4:32to be really really really really
- 4:34interesting to to see. So uh you know it
- 4:40is what it is. We're going to see how
- 4:42this all plays out. So let's go on to
- 4:45our next story. And by the way, you're
- 4:48going to hear a lot of Diddy news
- 4:49because that's going to be the thing
- 4:51right now. So forgive me. I I really
- 4:55don't like doing news because that's all
- 4:58that it has been for quite a while.
- 5:00And um but that's what's in the news so
- 5:04I have to report it. So just you know
- 5:07bear with me. So this next story is is
- 5:12kind of crazy. Uh Lady Gaga did a a
- 5:15concert over in um where was this? In
- 5:20Brazil and in Rio de Janeiro and she did
- 5:24a concert and everything. And after the
- 5:26concert, she was informed that there was
- 5:29actually a
- 5:31um a threat uh I don't want to say a
- 5:35boom threat. I'll say that because
- 5:38YouTube be tripping. So So there was an
- 5:41actual threat there and it was a plot.
- 5:45Um it apparently there was a plot. It
- 5:48wasn't just something that happened that
- 5:50day. So, um, TMZ reports, let me just
- 5:54see what they said. The cops didn't say
- 5:57anything to Lady Gaga or her team about
- 6:00it. So, she's up there performing and
- 6:02everything. Didn't know all this stuff.
- 6:03And they didn't find out until uh the
- 6:06media reported about it. So, I know that
- 6:08must have been a trip. Like, you know,
- 6:10y'all not going to tell
- 6:12me. So, I guess maybe they figure they
- 6:14had it under
- 6:16control, you know. But it says uh police
- 6:19in Brazil claimed they disrupted a
- 6:21violent plot to uh detonate explosives
- 6:25at Lady Gaga's free concert that drew an
- 6:28estimated 2 million fans in Rio de
- 6:30Janeiro over the weekend. It says the uh
- 6:34police there were uh arrested two people
- 6:38on Sunday in connection with alleged
- 6:40planned attack which was reportedly
- 6:42planned by a radicalized group that
- 6:44promoted hate speech is against LGBTQ
- 6:48plus community. Um the official said the
- 6:51group had been attempting to recruit
- 6:53teenagers online. So they I guess they
- 6:56were tipped by this encouraging them to
- 6:58participate in a in violent acts using
- 7:02Moloto Molotov cocktails and homemade
- 7:06explosives. Investigate investigators
- 7:09said members of the group posted as
- 7:11little monsters, the affectionate name
- 7:13for Lady Gaga's fan base in order to
- 7:16manipulate and lure young people into
- 7:18this uh online circle. So that's the
- 7:21trip. The uh suspects were taken in a
- 7:24charge taken in on charges of illegal
- 7:26weapons possession. Police operation
- 7:30involved raids across multiple states
- 7:32and the seizure of phones and electronic
- 7:34devices from 15 people believed to be
- 7:37connected to the plot. So they had a
- 7:39whole little operation thing going on um
- 7:42for this. So I don't know if it's just
- 7:44was it aimed towards Lady Gaga herself?
- 7:48It wasn't clear to me or it was just to
- 7:52hurt people out in the audience.
- 7:56Um, I don't know, but it again it was
- 8:00directed to the uh LGBTQ plus community.
- 8:05So, I know that had to been a trip for
- 8:07Lady Gaga, but I'm glad every they
- 8:09caught them, everybody was safe, and you
- 8:13know, anyways, moving on. I want to uh
- 8:17do a big shout out to Andre 3000 once
- 8:21again. And this time it's different from
- 8:23the Rock and Roll Rock and Roll Hall of
- 8:26Fame award that him and Big Boy
- 8:29um received for the induction there. It
- 8:32is actually Andre 3000 is receiving an
- 8:36honorary doctorate degree from Berkeley
- 8:39College on May, what is it? May 10th.
- 8:42That is awesome. That's awesome. They
- 8:44must be having the time of their
- 8:47life. They must be having the time of
- 8:50their life. Awesome. Welld deserved on
- 8:53that. Welld deserved on that. I love
- 8:56when good things happen to good people
- 8:58because you don't never hear anything
- 8:59bad coming out of the outcast camp. You
- 9:02just don't. At least I haven't. And all
- 9:05you hear is when they, you know, when
- 9:07they finally get a something coming out,
- 9:08just some good music, you know. So
- 9:11that's awesome. Congratulations, Andre
- 9:153000. So, this past weekend, I think
- 9:19maybe Friday or Saturday, Erica
- 9:22Alexander and Kim Kohl's from Living
- 9:24Single, they announced that they have a
- 9:27new podcast coming out on YouTube, and
- 9:29I'm excited about it. I really am. Um,
- 9:32it's for all you Living Singles fans. I
- 9:34was, and I still am a Living Singles
- 9:37fan. like I would um go and I would
- 9:41still watch the reruns and I know every
- 9:43line, every words and every all the
- 9:45words and but I still laugh at a lot of
- 9:48the stuff. And
- 9:50then Erica Alexander played Max and she
- 9:53was just the funniest. All of them were
- 9:55funny. All of them had had their own
- 9:57roles and played their own roles. I
- 10:01thought her role was exceptional. I
- 10:05think she's an amazing amazing actress.
- 10:09I do. And I to be honest with you, I
- 10:12thought she deserved an Emmy for her
- 10:15portrayal of Maxine Shaw. I just thought
- 10:19she was just great. And I heard her on
- 10:22the Breakfast Club and they were talking
- 10:24about, you know, she should have won an
- 10:27Emmy and all that other kind of stuff.
- 10:30But what was shocking to me is that she
- 10:32had never She said she didn't receive
- 10:36any
- 10:37offers after living single. I couldn't
- 10:41believe that. I could not believe that.
- 10:46But we'll get back to that. But
- 10:48anyway, so their uh podcast is going to
- 10:51be called Reliving Single, which is
- 10:54cute. Um, they say that it's a
- 10:56multi-geneneral conversation that
- 10:58remains evergreen because of the love of
- 11:01our fans for us and the show and they
- 11:04want more. So, they put together an
- 11:06all-star lineup to reminisce, drop line
- 11:09life lesson gems, and give a master
- 11:11class on comedy and show biz. They said
- 11:14you'll hear stories you've never heard
- 11:16before. But the best part of the rewatch
- 11:18series is on screen. She they say Kim
- 11:21and I like a pair of vampires aged ain't
- 11:25aged a day. So that is pretty
- 11:28cool. You know what? I always thought um
- 11:31Erica Alexander looked like
- 11:35Lepita. I always thought and I'm going
- 11:37to I'm put these pictures up side by
- 11:39side. See what y'all think. If you've
- 11:41never thought about that, I think they
- 11:43were talking about that a long time ago,
- 11:45but I just wanted to bring it back up. I
- 11:47thought that they look very similar. I
- 11:51think, you know, but anyway, beautiful,
- 11:54beautiful. I'm glad to hear it. I would
- 11:57love if if they brought all the cast
- 11:59members on the podcast and they talk
- 12:02about everything. Um T TC Carson, um his
- 12:07role as Kyle and of course, I know he's
- 12:11been on podcast before and he's talked
- 12:13about him getting fired from the show.
- 12:16So, it would be nice to hear them uh
- 12:18talk again more about what happened, but
- 12:22it but it's also great to it would be
- 12:26great to just see them get together and
- 12:29and
- 12:31just reminisce and also just see the the
- 12:35closeness that they supposedly or
- 12:37allegedly have.
- 12:40Um that just brings a good time uh good
- 12:43time, good memories. So, I'm all for it.
- 12:46I'm going to I'm going to definitely
- 12:49watch and listen to their show on
- 12:52podcast. So, again, it comes out on May
- 12:547th on YouTube and that's going to be
- 12:57exciting times for all u of us living
- 13:00single fingers. Okay, speaking of Queen
- 13:04Latifah, if you have yet to
- 13:07hear, for all of you Equalizer fans, the
- 13:11drama series has been
- 13:14cancelled. Um, they said the ratings for
- 13:17the series has dropped. It went down,
- 13:20they say after the uh its runtime
- 13:23shifted to a later hour on Sunday
- 13:26nights. That makes so much of a
- 13:28difference. So apparently because um
- 13:32when that shifted the uh the ratings
- 13:36went down. So that's too bad because it
- 13:40went five seasons and um that's that's
- 13:45quite a feat, you know, and
- 13:48apparently they said, "Well, we got to
- 13:51let it go cuz people weren't watching
- 13:52anymore."
- 13:54So, Queen Latifah praised the amazing
- 13:56cast, producers, and writers of the show
- 13:58while also thanking the fans for their
- 14:00support over its five season run. She
- 14:03said, "Y'all have been so loyal, so
- 14:05loud, and so ride or die, and that's
- 14:07exactly why we keep doing this. We can't
- 14:09thank you enough. It means the world to
- 14:11us," she said. And then she also teased
- 14:14that that she's going to be coming out
- 14:16with something else soon. So, Queen
- 14:18Latifah is is just an awesome
- 14:20entrepreneur and she's she's just great.
- 14:23So, whatever she comes out with next,
- 14:25it's just going to be just as just as
- 14:27great. So, I'm looking forward to that.
- 14:30But, I am uh sad for all of you
- 14:33fans. Um, I got to talk about this. I
- 14:38don't really want to talk about politics
- 14:40on this show, but it's it's this is
- 14:43related to the entertainment industry,
- 14:46so I really won't give an opinion, but
- 14:48I'll just state the facts. So apparently
- 14:51over the weekend, um I think this must
- 14:54have happened yesterday and I'll just
- 14:57read what I got from news sources. So it
- 14:59says the industry reacts to Trump's
- 15:02insane movie tariff threat. This would
- 15:05destroy the independent film sector. So
- 15:09that's what the headline says here. Um,
- 15:12the US international film sectors are
- 15:14reeling after Donald Trump's
- 15:17announcement last night that he is
- 15:18authorizing the Department of Commerce
- 15:21and the United States Trade
- 15:22Representative to impose a 100% tariff
- 15:27on any and all movies produced in
- 15:29foreign lands. Um, in a message posted
- 15:33posted to Truth Social, Trump described
- 15:35foreign productions as a national
- 15:37security threat to the US industry,
- 15:40adding that they draw filmmakers
- 15:42overseas, but also bringing bring
- 15:44messaging and propaganda into the
- 15:46country. The threat, while seemingly
- 15:48embionic and lacking in any detail, has
- 15:51sent shock waves through the US and
- 15:53international film sectors. the impact
- 15:56should anything close to come to pass
- 15:58would be uh seesmic on the global film
- 16:02sector. And then of course you have
- 16:05Gavin Newsome saying that you know Trump
- 16:07has no authority to impose 100 movie
- 16:10tariffs. I don't know if he does or he
- 16:12doesn't but I don't I don't see what the
- 16:16threat is because if there was in my
- 16:19opinion if there was a threat wouldn't
- 16:21we have known that by now? I don't know.
- 16:25But regardless of what my opinion is, I
- 16:28just wanted to put the news out
- 16:30there and um it is what it is. So that
- 16:35is it for today's news. Again, make sure
- 16:39you uh subscribe to the channel and I
- 16:41will talk to you later. Bye-bye.
