have been Malcolm X's one hundredth birthday. Reverend Al Sharpton
spoke at his National Action Network, noting it comes days
before the fifth anniversary of George Floyd's death.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
The news of President Biden's prostate cancer diagnosis has sent
ripples across the nation, highlighting the disease that disproportionately impacts
black men. Doctor Otis Brawley, who's black, said the news
should push black men to better care for themselves and,
as Cool Mode said back in the eighties, go see
the doctor.

Speaker 4 (01:38):
This should not just be a prostate cancer talk now.
In the United States this year, eight thousand black men
are gone die from prostate cancer and fifty thousand are
god died from cardiovascular disease and diabetes. So men starting
in their forties are to all have a relationship with
the physician in ought to be seeing the position once
a year with the goal of how can I stay healthy?

(02:02):
Optimizing my cholesterol, optimizing my diet, my exercise, my weight,
not smoking, not using drugs. All of those things caused badness.
We need to focus on staying healthy. Once we focus
on staying healthy, we can start focusing on things like
cross day cancer as well.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
According to a spokesperson for former President Biden, doctors discovered
a nodule in this frost Day during an exam this
past Friday. Another star witness took the stand today in
the high profile Ditty sex crimes trial in New York City.
Kerrie Morgan, the ex friend of Cassie Ventura, took the stand.
She recounted breathtaking stories about Combs and how she severed
relations with Ventura. Misty Merris is an attorney and shares

(02:42):
details about Morgan's testimony today with CNN.

Speaker 5 (02:45):
She did say they had a falling out. This is
in twenty eighteen when she alleges the Combs actually attacked her.
She never brought a lawsuit relating to that, but Cassie
came not long afterwards, diminished what had happened between the two,
and Combs ended up paying thirty thousand dollars. So again,
that's this idea of keep quiet that's coming back in
front of the jury when it comes to Holmes and

(03:07):
his violent conduct. She also described in detailed these two incidents,
one at Ditty's Hollywood Hills home. The violent incident is
disturbing to say the least, but what she said happened
after is really important to this aspect of control. She
said that Ditty was driving around trying to find them
after they fled the house in Hollywood Hills.

now facing the possibility of spending the rest of his
days behind bars for allegations of sex trafficking and racketeering.
