Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're at the Black Information Network, we know how important
it is for you to start your week off energized, engaged,
and enlightened. There are always major stories that break over
the weekend, and we feel you should know about the
ones we are talking about today. He'll stay tuned for
our weekend recap featuring BIN News anchor Mimi Brown. This
is the Black Information Network Daily Podcast and I'm your host,
(00:21):
Ramses Job. All right, me me Brown, Welcome back to
the show. You know, I was out over the weekend
and I was at the BET Awards in LA and
your name came up. Turns out you are a person
who is well known in the streets of California, and
I felt honored to know you. I let everyone know
that you were going to be on the show today,
and so, you know, I feel like I'm in the
(00:43):
presence of a celebrity.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
So what's the latest in your world?
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Well, thank you so much. I appreciate that. Yeah, it's
b ET Award weekend in LA. We had a couple
of events. Actually, my series to Altadena with Love was
honored at the Culture Creators Award over the weekend, and
some of the families that I featured in that series
were able to attend and get recognized, and there was
(01:10):
a fundraiser for them, and so it was it was
a meaningful weekend.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
You know.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
No, I could tell just the way that your name
was spoken. I'm like, oh, man, I know her. You know,
people are like giving me some extra extra snacks, like
oh your beliefs people, Oh yeah, come over here, you know.
So it was kind of cool.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
So yeah, I felt I felt the love that they
have for you out there. So that felt very special.
All right, let's get to the news. First up from
Baller Alert, lawyers for Diddy are once again urging the
judge in his sex trafficking case to declare a mistrial,
this time accusing federal prosecutors prosecutors of using demonstrably false
evidence in court, and a letter filed Saturday, defense attorney
(01:49):
Alexandra Shapiro alleged prosecutors misled jurors with testimony from Brianna Bonglan,
a longtime friend of Cassie Ventura, who claimed the mogul
dangled herd off of the Los Angeles balcony in twenty sixteen. Quote,
the government knew or should have known, this testimony was
perjured and that Miss Bonglan could not possibly have been
(02:09):
injured by mister Combs on a Los Angeles balcony in
the early morning hours of September twenty sixth, or even
the day before that, Shapiro wrote, did He's legal team
presented hotel receipts placing him in New York from September
twenty fourth to twenty ninth of that year, directly contradicting
Mongoln's timeline. Still, Bongoland stood by her claims, prosecutors to
argue the incident could have occurred before those dates and
(02:31):
that the account showed did He as an angry, dangerous
man who terrified Miss Ventura and her friends.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
So this push to.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Have the case thrown out, you know, declare a mistrial.
This is the second time they've done that, and they're
looking for, you know, obviously inconsistencies in you know, the prosecutions,
you know, you know statements, and to be fair, there
are bound to be lots of them, you know, because
(03:01):
a lot of this stuff took place nearly ten years
ago that they're alleging. So this seems like kind of
a run of the meal tactic for any defense team.
Give us your thoughts on Diddy's story so far, Yeah,
I would agree.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
I do think however, if you are going in and
you are going to accuse him of dangling you over
a balcony or you know, use specific dates, I think
that they should match. I don't know if that should
turn into a mistrial, but I do understand where the
(03:35):
prosecution excuse me, where the defense wants to go with that.
They'd like to get this thrown out by any means necessary.
But then even with that, my concern is we get
it thrown out. I don't see the prosecution saying, Okay,
well we're going to let this go. I think that
they would try it again. So it just seems as
if this just needs to play out and the defense
(03:56):
needs to continue to make their case and proscution continues
to make their case and we see what happens. Because
you know, I don't have right now one side over
the other. I think each side has their days of
who is you know, who brought it home that particular day,
And this right here played very well in the hands
(04:18):
for the defense.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
All right, Well, next up this from the Atlanta Black Star.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
South Carolina Senator Tim Scott is an outspoken Republican ally
of President Donald Trump. Well, he's waiting into the public
war of words between Trump and tech billionaire Elon Musk
defending the President and his One Big, Beautiful Bill Act
amid an escalating verbal brawl with Musk and other GOP
critics of trump Sorry massive legislative budget package. Scott claimed
(04:46):
in an interview on Fox News that the President has
always been on the side of poor Americans, and he
urged Trump to stay the course.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Quote.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
President Trump, continue to do what you've been doing. You've
been a strong, powerful voice, consistently speaking on behalf of
the most economically challenged people in country. It's that coalition
that has made us a very strong party. Scott said,
I don't want to say anything unkind, and I know
that in the past I've been very unkind about Tim Scott,
So I will yield my time to you talk us
(05:16):
through this.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
How does this one hit you?
Speaker 5 (05:18):
I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
I also don't want to say anything unkind as well.
So what I will do is I'll talk about how
you know this bill isn't a beautiful bill, especially for
the poor. You know, it slashes medicaid, food food aid,
you know, SNAP and other social safety nets. I think
that when it comes to this particular senator, it always
(05:43):
seems as if he is trying to, for a lack
of a better word, kiss up to the president, and
it has gotten him nowhere, right, and so I wonder
when he will stop. You know, I think that he
should stay out of it if it's between Elon and Trump.
(06:05):
I don't understand what you have to add as a
you know, a middleman or however you see yourself, and so,
you know, for me, I just think that he just
he just needs to back up and let this play
out and mind his business. He comes off. I know
(06:26):
we've someone someone called him, you know, the saying is
uncle Tom.
Speaker 5 (06:29):
I think someone called him an uncle Tim. I just
think that.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
He just needs to, you know, find his space, do
what he needs to do for the people of South
Carolina and let that be.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
That's what I know.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Yeah, And the crazy thing about him is that his space.
I know that he thought that his space was going
to be somewhere in the Trump administration, and he's been
largely forgotten. Of course, he famously, at least in my mind,
rose to national consciousness kind of helping get Trump elected
(07:05):
and then kind of further cemented his kind of place
by you know, throwing his hat in a ring to
run for president, and you know, obviously everyone that did
that had to oppose Donald Trump, and he did so,
and then he had to ultimately come back around that
same corner, down that same street and kiss the ring,
(07:26):
and he did so in a way that was He's
not my kind of person, But I think that because
we're both human beings, I was embarrassed for him, if
that makes sense. So and again I'm trying not to
be unkind because I've said some things about him that
(07:46):
I really shouldn't have said. I was talking about his teeth,
and that was juvenile of me, and I'll admit that.
But just as a person, you know, it's possible to
be embarrassed on behalf of someone else because it's like, okay, well,
like we see this, like this is just it's almost shameful, right,
And I think a lot of people really feel that way.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
And he is a black man.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
That is something that is irrefutable, and and I think
that a lot of us black folks, at least in
this country, we feel like no matter who you are,
if you are black, you have a de facto role
as a representative of black people if you if you
rise to that level. Right, So the Clarence Thomas's and
(08:29):
the Tim Scott's and the I don't know, who's the
guy from Florida, Florida.
Speaker 5 (08:34):
Byron uh see you talk about it, I'm.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Talking about So you know these folks, they represent us
the same way the doctor Kings and the you know,
Al Sharpton's and the Barack Obama's and Shehell Obamas, and
you know the athletes, the Lebron James, you know, all
these folks kind of represent us in a way. And
this is different from how if a white person is
famous and powerful and rich and whatever, they don't represent
(09:00):
all white people.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
But you know, black people, we have.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
The ability to get a little bit more embarrassed on
behalf of a Tiger Woods if Tiger Woods does something,
because we know that white folks could look at Tiger
Woods now and say, oh, we thought he was one
of the good ones.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
See they're all like that.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
So Tiger Woods in a small way represents all of
us because that equation can't exist in the minds of
white Americans. So when it comes to Tim Scott, it's
possible to be embarrassed on his behalf.
Speaker 5 (09:28):
But it's like third hand embarrassment.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Yeah, that's probably the right way to say it.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
And I know that there are people written books on
this and all that sort of stuff, but this is
something that I've never read any of those books. But
I felt in my whole life since I was a kid,
where I'm like, ojy, come on, man, just you know,
like I gotta grow up.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Man could do the right thing here, you know.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
So always like as black people, we are punished for
the one person whom yep exactly, so we all feel
it right and so it good or bad, you know,
left or right. It just depends on, you know, what
we're auditioning for. And when I use the word audition,
I tim Scott comes. He comes off as someone who's
always auditioning to be Trump's friend, right, Like he's saying
(10:12):
the right thing and hopes he may see me this time,
he may put me on the team and may be
able to be his friend, you know what I mean.
That's how he comes on to pick me, the pick
me exactly. That is exactly what what I think he
is and how he he portrays himself and the things
that he does. And I'll just say this one more time.
The people of South Carolina need real leadership. They need
(10:34):
real you know, there there men there, men and women
in Congress to do something for them. You know, there's
there's real economic pain, there's real health disparities happening in
South Carolina.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
So let's focus on Trump and more focus on your state.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Yeah, yeah, and and and to be fair, this isn't
new for Tim Scott.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
This is kind of part for the course for him.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
But I think the thing that really is troubling here
is that he's inserting himself in an equation between two billionaires,
the richest man in the world, the most powerful man
in the world.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
He's not on their radar.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
And I think to your point, if he really were
to Republican leadership, to be fair, Republican leadership has always
been let's shrink government, and by definition, you're shrinking government
resources that the public is able to access, and let's
(11:39):
put the decision making back in. You know, they're pro business,
they're you know that sort of thing. So it's almost
like rob from the poor gift to the rich in
terms of their approach. That's been true of Republicans going
back at least to Ronald Reagan. Republican leadership looks like that,
and obviously democratic leadership if we're painting with broad strokes,
for the most part is let's expand government. Let's expand
(12:04):
government programs. The purpose of the government is to help
the people. So let's organize this government. Let's help these people,
some people who may not have, you know, the resources.
And of course Republicans say, okay, there was going to
be fraud and abuse in that type of system. We
need to minimize that because we don't want to go
broke because there are people who would abuse the system.
(12:24):
Democrats push back and say, the numbers and the things
that you're worrying about are less pronounced. Then you may know,
most people want to work, most people want to you
know whatever. It's the people that really need these services
that are taking advantage, you know, veterans, the elderly, you know,
people that don't have access, they don't live in communities
where there's you know whatever.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Right, So this is the more or less they are
ongoing debate.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Right And when you mentioned Tim Scott's state of South Carolina,
that's I mean that South Carolina. They that's a red state.
You know, let's let's just be honest about that.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
And for whatever reason, they have.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Espoused Republican fiscal policies along with Republican ideologies and have
put forth have established this culture that Republican leadership is
the way to go right and it's widely shared in
(13:26):
the state, hence a red state and Tim Scott backing
this big beautiful bill. Obviously there's a Republican leadership in
the White House, there's Republican leadership in the Senate and
in both sessions of Congress, so you know they're up
right now. And for them to just say that they
(13:46):
want to put this big beautiful bill forth is absolutely
on par with what they what their brand is, right,
this is what they do. If you were to say
that and leave it at that, I could say, Okay,
that's what a republic can doing.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
What Republicans do.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Yeah, it's the pick me part that it just is
crossing the line. And the thing is if this was
the first time he had done it, it would be like, ah,
that's a little cringe, but we can move past it.
This is like the seventh time that he's done it,
and it's like, do you remember when Drake was on
stage and he was trying to kiss Rihanna, and we
all saw it, and Rihanna kind of turned her head
(14:22):
because she can.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
See it coming.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
And we were all a little embarrassed for Drake, like,
fam chill, Yeah, imagine Drake doing that seven times the
same person, and you know she's just ignoring them. And
so we're like, yo, why does this? Why is this
guy here? He's just he's goofy and corny, And this
is the hypothetical Timscott, not the real Timscott. Again, I'm
trying to be a kind, but you know it's gonna
(14:48):
run out. Pam, you gotta get your act together, all right, moving.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
On, move on?
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Yeah, Hey, what's up.

BIM News brand anchor Mimi Brown is here with us
discussing the weekends major stories all right. Next up from
France twenty four dot com. US Immigration and Customs Enforcement
detained Cobby le May, age twenty five, a citizen of Italy,
(15:40):
June sixth, at the Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas, Nevada,
for immigration violations. La May entered the United States on
April thirtieth and overstayed the terms.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Of his visa.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
According to the statement from the ICE Agency, the Italian national,
who is a UNISEF Goodwill Ambassador and has a following
of more than one hundred and sixty two million on TikTok,
has since departed the US. La May has not immediately
posted publicly about the incident as of Saturday afternoon. So
for those that don't know, this is the gentleman who's
(16:13):
famous for like making the silent videos where you know.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
People have he's a reposter.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Mostly someone will make some content and they will like
invent some new thing or whatever, and usually their invention
is like very complicated or unnecessary, and he will come
in at the tail end of the video and simplify
what it is they're trying to do or introduce something
that already exists, that is widely known. It's almost like
(16:43):
a common sense sort of thing, like, Okay, you've done
the most and this already exists, or this is how
people normally do this thing. And they'll like kind of
do a shoulder shrug at the end. So this is
the content. I'm sure you can see him in your
mind's eye, brown skin content creator. And you know he
was detained in Las Vegas, and this comes at a
(17:06):
time when the climate is concerning for people who don't
live here. And you know clearly this person is a
resident of Italy and he comes to the US because
he has business in the US. He's a widely loved,
globally loved figure, and even he is susceptible to this
(17:28):
current immigration policy and this current immigration sort of crackdown.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
So give us your thoughts here, Mimi, Yeah, you.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Know, this is it's really unfortunate. He was or is
has the most TikTok followers out of everyone everyone, he
has number one, He's number one. And I think what
also should be noted is that he is a global
star and a UNISE ambassador, and I think, you know, okay, yes,
(18:00):
creation laws or the immigration laws. However, if he's guilty
of staying a few days past his visa, I'm assuming
there's another way before we got into all of this
that you know, this could be handled with easily with
some paperwork, right. I think that we are on this
this train where if you're black or brown, or you're
(18:21):
you're you're you know from an African country you look African,
or if you're Hispanic or whatever that is, you've got
to get up out of here because you know, I
know a number of other immigrants who are perfectly fine
and are not wondering or waiting for when Ice is
coming to get them. So it just it just shows
how how harsh the rules have have become, and it
(18:46):
raises a lot of concerns about who's being targeted. And
so for me, that's a little it's a little uh disheartening.
You're right, he hasn't said anything public. I'm pretty curious
to see where he was supported too. Is he he
was an Italian citizen, correct, so I'm sure he went
(19:06):
back to Italy. But you know, it's it's it's it
is one of those things ramsays like this is where
we are right now, you know, and and just being
here in La it just you you, you know, it
looks like almost like a war zone in here. We've
got tanker trucks running through our freeways and black Hawk helicopters,
(19:27):
you know, flying over our homes.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
And we'll get to that. Q and I are going
to do an episode of one and the.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
I just you know, when you just put the two together,
it's like, you know, is this what we're doing for
everyday influencers and yeah, you know, kitchen workers, it just
seems very.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Extra, Yeah, super extra.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
And you know, Donald Trump famously doesn't like to lose
and is as a as a very fragile ego, and
so I could see things getting a.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Lot work before they got better. But yeah, you're right.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
And as a person who travels internationally and you know
Q does too famously, and you know, Q as at
least has been detained coming back into the US within
the past.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
I don't even know when it was, but we were
coming back from Canada.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
And he got himmed up at the border and we're
stuck there for hours and they're asking about all of
his travels and I am getting ready to leave the
country here pretty soon, and I'm worried about that too,
because it doesn't necessary your immigration status doesn't necessarily determine
whether or not you're detained at the border, because you know,
(20:45):
there are people that will cross reference your social media,
especially if you're big enough, you know, content creator, and
will detain you based off of your social media whether
or not you've been critical of the United States government
things like this, you know, And they can make a
case that it makes sense they need to monitor who's
(21:05):
coming and going and people that might have harbor negative
sentiments toward the United States. But the overreach comes when
you're detaining US citizens who have the you know, the
freedom of speech. You know that is you know, our
first Amendment right, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
And so.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
The concern that I have, you know here getting ready
to leave the country again is under this different political
administration and different political climate, is it's there, It's present,
and you know, seeing this played out with someone with
the most TikTok viewers, he's I think he's like the
highest like on all platforms, he's like the number one
(21:53):
or at least.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Like top three.
Speaker 5 (21:55):
Uh looked at up number one.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Influencer personality across all platforms. This guy is the one,
and clearly he's not he's this guy's a multimillionaire. This
guy's you know what I mean, Like he's not trying
to sneak into the country.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
He's not.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
You know, there's nowhere he can go where people don't
recognize him. And so the heavy handed approach I think
is for show. Like you said, it could have been
handled with some simple paperwork. So I'm concerned about what
they'll do for me because I don't have a reach
like this guy him. I come and go at the
border quite a bit. So we'll see what happened. Finally,
(22:35):
and again I want to restate that we will be
talking about the protest in Los Angeles, so that happened
and developed, and you know, these are stories that you
may have missed. We're definitely going to cover that one.
But our final story for today for this episode. This
comes from shinemycrown dot com. A woman's viral video declaring
her preference for working under white male managers rather than
(22:58):
minorities has ignited a firestorm of controversy controversy across social media,
reviving tensions around race leadership dynamics and corporate diversity efforts.
The video has the woman named Tony childs I'm not
going to cheer her social media because I don't want
to big her up. She says plainly, quote, if you're
going to offer me a job and I find out
(23:19):
my manager is going to be a minority, babe, keep
that DEI higher and keep that job offer too. I
prefer to work under white men. Then she elaborates referring
to white male supervisors as helpful, straightforward, and supportive of
her career growth, in contrast to what she claims are passive,
aggressive minority managers. Quote, they like to make you pay
back the dues they had to pay in nineteen eighty seven.
(23:41):
You all got a chip on your shoulder that I
personally do not have the brain power to deal with.
And I think that she actually did have a modicum
of truth in that she does not personally have the
brain power to deal with it.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
More.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
I get my thoughts though there in entirety, Let's get
yours here.
Speaker 5 (24:01):
This is this is uh.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
I mean, listen, we've all had our our personal experiences
and this could be a personal preference. However, the way
that she's gone about it. The way that she's putting
down another race to pick up another race is that's
not her race.
Speaker 5 (24:20):
Is what's concerning for me.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
It reinforces harmful stereotypes, you know, undermines the e I efforts,
which of course we're still you know, fighting right now,
you know.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
And it just it just.
Speaker 5 (24:37):
It's it's a painful view.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Of a system that already favors white whiteness, right, And
so when we look at what she's saying, she's implying that,
you know, if it's not white, it's not right, and
and and and they're the better bosses, and that's not true.
I mean, again, your personal preferences. I've had great people
(25:00):
who are black men who have been a boss or
a black woman, and I've had actually Hispanic and white men,
and it just depends on everything. And so I think
painting a broad stroke on this is just very dangerous.
Speaker 5 (25:15):
And so she doesn't sound very intelligent, all.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Right, said She admitted she doesn't have the brain power
to deal with it.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
So, yeah, to me, the only thing I can think
is is trolling, because she hit all the points. First Off,
she's talking about her specific experience, which we can't verify
beyond her second thing. She invoked DEI higher, So that's
(25:42):
a really easy way to troll. And then she says
that white men supervisors have been helpful, straightforward, forward and supportive, right,
and that may be true, but it's also true that
white men supervisors hinder people's growth they stand in the
way they promote other people over you. That you know
that that's true of them as well, and it may
(26:03):
not have happened in her story. And then she talks
about passive, aggressive minority managers and they want you to
pay back the dues that they had.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
To pay, and that's a very it's a trolley way.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Of looking at things, right, Yeah, Because again I'm sure
a lot of people would would agree that if you're
working for someone who is black and they're your immediate supervisor,
if they are indeed supportive of you, they're going to
make sure that you have the metal that you have
the the optics, that you understand the pitfalls that they
(26:42):
had to overcome to get where they are, so that
you will be fortified on your journey at whatever career, job,
whatever that you're in. So if they make you, hey, look,
you're going to have to do this the right way.
I found that when they say that to me, they
mean mean you Ramses specifically, are going to have to
(27:03):
do this the right way. They all can get away
with doing it this way, but you cannot. And what
that means isn't that they're picking on me. What that
means is that they know that me, with this big o' afro,
I'm a little bit more susceptible to a higher level
of scrutiny than maybe some of the other folks I
might work with. And so it's the thing we always
(27:24):
say to our children, and that we were told you
have to be twice as gark, twice as good to
be good enough. Right, So this is kind of I
think a mischaracterization of that dynamic and her talking about
what the dues they had to pay in nineteen eighty
seven and have a chip on her shoulder. It's very
(27:45):
difficult to be black for any length of time in
this country and not realize that. Now, some people like clicks,
some people like as Q would say, they like to
be the contrarian and they like the engagement, and it's
just a part of their cult, their nature, you know,
that's that's that's the role that they found to play
(28:06):
in society, and so they're going to do that. But
I know troll them when I see it, and this
is troll. There's no way that this is like a
valid you know. Again, it's too broad a stroke and
it's too unique to her story.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
And if she says it all day.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
You know, it's just we need to get to a
point where we're not engaging patrols, you know, Because we
don't engage with them, they die out. We're trying to
convince some ladies to change her mind when she's already
got the you know, the racist white folk's greatest hits
ingrained into the conversation. She's not going to change her mind.
She just wants the attention. So the moment we give
her the attention, she wins. So it's a troll. So
(28:42):
we'll leave it right there. Don't forget. These and more
stories can be found at binnews dot com. As always,

our news with our voice from our perspective right here

You're at the Black Information Network, we know how important
it is for you to start your week off energized, engaged,
and enlightened. There are always major stories that break over
the weekend, and we feel you should know about the
ones we are talking about today. He'll stay tuned for
our weekend recap featuring BIN News anchor Mimi Brown. This
is the Black Information Network Daily Podcast and I'm your host,
(00:21):
Ramses Job. All right, me me Brown, Welcome back to
the show. You know, I was out over the weekend
and I was at the BET Awards in LA and
your name came up. Turns out you are a person
who is well known in the streets of California, and
I felt honored to know you. I let everyone know
that you were going to be on the show today,
and so, you know, I feel like I'm in the
(00:43):
presence of a celebrity.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
So what's the latest in your world?
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Well, thank you so much. I appreciate that. Yeah, it's
b ET Award weekend in LA. We had a couple
of events. Actually, my series to Altadena with Love was
honored at the Culture Creators Award over the weekend, and
some of the families that I featured in that series
were able to attend and get recognized, and there was
(01:10):
a fundraiser for them, and so it was it was
a meaningful weekend.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
You know.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
No, I could tell just the way that your name
was spoken. I'm like, oh, man, I know her. You know,
people are like giving me some extra extra snacks, like
oh your beliefs people, Oh yeah, come over here, you know.
So it was kind of cool.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
So yeah, I felt I felt the love that they
have for you out there. So that felt very special.
All right, let's get to the news. First up from
Baller Alert, lawyers for Diddy are once again urging the
judge in his sex trafficking case to declare a mistrial,
this time accusing federal prosecutors prosecutors of using demonstrably false
evidence in court, and a letter filed Saturday, defense attorney
(01:49):
Alexandra Shapiro alleged prosecutors misled jurors with testimony from Brianna Bonglan,
a longtime friend of Cassie Ventura, who claimed the mogul
dangled herd off of the Los Angeles balcony in twenty sixteen. Quote,
the government knew or should have known, this testimony was
perjured and that Miss Bonglan could not possibly have been
(02:09):
injured by mister Combs on a Los Angeles balcony in
the early morning hours of September twenty sixth, or even
the day before that, Shapiro wrote, did He's legal team
presented hotel receipts placing him in New York from September
twenty fourth to twenty ninth of that year, directly contradicting
Mongoln's timeline. Still, Bongoland stood by her claims, prosecutors to
argue the incident could have occurred before those dates and
(02:31):
that the account showed did He as an angry, dangerous
man who terrified Miss Ventura and her friends.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
So this push to.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Have the case thrown out, you know, declare a mistrial.
This is the second time they've done that, and they're
looking for, you know, obviously inconsistencies in you know, the prosecutions,
you know, you know statements, and to be fair, there
are bound to be lots of them, you know, because
(03:01):
a lot of this stuff took place nearly ten years
ago that they're alleging. So this seems like kind of
a run of the meal tactic for any defense team.
Give us your thoughts on Diddy's story so far, Yeah,
I would agree.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
I do think however, if you are going in and
you are going to accuse him of dangling you over
a balcony or you know, use specific dates, I think
that they should match. I don't know if that should
turn into a mistrial, but I do understand where the
(03:35):
prosecution excuse me, where the defense wants to go with that.
They'd like to get this thrown out by any means necessary.
But then even with that, my concern is we get
it thrown out. I don't see the prosecution saying, Okay,
well we're going to let this go. I think that
they would try it again. So it just seems as
if this just needs to play out and the defense
(03:56):
needs to continue to make their case and proscution continues
to make their case and we see what happens. Because
you know, I don't have right now one side over
the other. I think each side has their days of
who is you know, who brought it home that particular day,
And this right here played very well in the hands
(04:18):
for the defense.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
All right, Well, next up this from the Atlanta Black Star.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
South Carolina Senator Tim Scott is an outspoken Republican ally
of President Donald Trump. Well, he's waiting into the public
war of words between Trump and tech billionaire Elon Musk
defending the President and his One Big, Beautiful Bill Act
amid an escalating verbal brawl with Musk and other GOP
critics of trump Sorry massive legislative budget package. Scott claimed
(04:46):
in an interview on Fox News that the President has
always been on the side of poor Americans, and he
urged Trump to stay the course.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Quote.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
President Trump, continue to do what you've been doing. You've
been a strong, powerful voice, consistently speaking on behalf of
the most economically challenged people in country. It's that coalition
that has made us a very strong party. Scott said,
I don't want to say anything unkind, and I know
that in the past I've been very unkind about Tim Scott,
So I will yield my time to you talk us
(05:16):
through this.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
How does this one hit you?
Speaker 5 (05:18):
I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
I also don't want to say anything unkind as well.
So what I will do is I'll talk about how
you know this bill isn't a beautiful bill, especially for
the poor. You know, it slashes medicaid, food food aid,
you know, SNAP and other social safety nets. I think
that when it comes to this particular senator, it always
(05:43):
seems as if he is trying to, for a lack
of a better word, kiss up to the president, and
it has gotten him nowhere, right, and so I wonder
when he will stop. You know, I think that he
should stay out of it if it's between Elon and Trump.
(06:05):
I don't understand what you have to add as a
you know, a middleman or however you see yourself, and so,
you know, for me, I just think that he just
he just needs to back up and let this play
out and mind his business. He comes off. I know
(06:26):
we've someone someone called him, you know, the saying is
uncle Tom.
Speaker 5 (06:29):
I think someone called him an uncle Tim. I just
think that.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
He just needs to, you know, find his space, do
what he needs to do for the people of South
Carolina and let that be.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
That's what I know.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Yeah, And the crazy thing about him is that his space.
I know that he thought that his space was going
to be somewhere in the Trump administration, and he's been
largely forgotten. Of course, he famously, at least in my mind,
rose to national consciousness kind of helping get Trump elected
(07:05):
and then kind of further cemented his kind of place
by you know, throwing his hat in a ring to
run for president, and you know, obviously everyone that did
that had to oppose Donald Trump, and he did so,
and then he had to ultimately come back around that
same corner, down that same street and kiss the ring,
(07:26):
and he did so in a way that was He's
not my kind of person, But I think that because
we're both human beings, I was embarrassed for him, if
that makes sense. So and again I'm trying not to
be unkind because I've said some things about him that
(07:46):
I really shouldn't have said. I was talking about his teeth,
and that was juvenile of me, and I'll admit that.
But just as a person, you know, it's possible to
be embarrassed on behalf of someone else because it's like, okay, well,
like we see this, like this is just it's almost shameful, right,
And I think a lot of people really feel that way.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
And he is a black man.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
That is something that is irrefutable, and and I think
that a lot of us black folks, at least in
this country, we feel like no matter who you are,
if you are black, you have a de facto role
as a representative of black people if you if you
rise to that level. Right, So the Clarence Thomas's and
(08:29):
the Tim Scott's and the I don't know, who's the
guy from Florida, Florida.
Speaker 5 (08:34):
Byron uh see you talk about it, I'm.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Talking about So you know these folks, they represent us
the same way the doctor Kings and the you know,
Al Sharpton's and the Barack Obama's and Shehell Obamas, and
you know the athletes, the Lebron James, you know, all
these folks kind of represent us in a way. And
this is different from how if a white person is
famous and powerful and rich and whatever, they don't represent
(09:00):
all white people.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
But you know, black people, we have.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
The ability to get a little bit more embarrassed on
behalf of a Tiger Woods if Tiger Woods does something,
because we know that white folks could look at Tiger
Woods now and say, oh, we thought he was one
of the good ones.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
See they're all like that.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
So Tiger Woods in a small way represents all of
us because that equation can't exist in the minds of
white Americans. So when it comes to Tim Scott, it's
possible to be embarrassed on his behalf.
Speaker 5 (09:28):
But it's like third hand embarrassment.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Yeah, that's probably the right way to say it.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
And I know that there are people written books on
this and all that sort of stuff, but this is
something that I've never read any of those books. But
I felt in my whole life since I was a kid,
where I'm like, ojy, come on, man, just you know,
like I gotta grow up.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Man could do the right thing here, you know.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
So always like as black people, we are punished for
the one person whom yep exactly, so we all feel
it right and so it good or bad, you know,
left or right. It just depends on, you know, what
we're auditioning for. And when I use the word audition,
I tim Scott comes. He comes off as someone who's
always auditioning to be Trump's friend, right, Like he's saying
(10:12):
the right thing and hopes he may see me this time,
he may put me on the team and may be
able to be his friend, you know what I mean.
That's how he comes on to pick me, the pick
me exactly. That is exactly what what I think he
is and how he he portrays himself and the things
that he does. And I'll just say this one more time.
The people of South Carolina need real leadership. They need
(10:34):
real you know, there there men there, men and women
in Congress to do something for them. You know, there's
there's real economic pain, there's real health disparities happening in
South Carolina.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
So let's focus on Trump and more focus on your state.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Yeah, yeah, and and and to be fair, this isn't
new for Tim Scott.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
This is kind of part for the course for him.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
But I think the thing that really is troubling here
is that he's inserting himself in an equation between two billionaires,
the richest man in the world, the most powerful man
in the world.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
He's not on their radar.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
And I think to your point, if he really were
to Republican leadership, to be fair, Republican leadership has always
been let's shrink government, and by definition, you're shrinking government
resources that the public is able to access, and let's
(11:39):
put the decision making back in. You know, they're pro business,
they're you know that sort of thing. So it's almost
like rob from the poor gift to the rich in
terms of their approach. That's been true of Republicans going
back at least to Ronald Reagan. Republican leadership looks like that,
and obviously democratic leadership if we're painting with broad strokes,
for the most part is let's expand government. Let's expand
(12:04):
government programs. The purpose of the government is to help
the people. So let's organize this government. Let's help these people,
some people who may not have, you know, the resources.
And of course Republicans say, okay, there was going to
be fraud and abuse in that type of system. We
need to minimize that because we don't want to go
broke because there are people who would abuse the system.
(12:24):
Democrats push back and say, the numbers and the things
that you're worrying about are less pronounced. Then you may know,
most people want to work, most people want to you
know whatever. It's the people that really need these services
that are taking advantage, you know, veterans, the elderly, you know,
people that don't have access, they don't live in communities
where there's you know whatever.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Right, So this is the more or less they are
ongoing debate.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Right And when you mentioned Tim Scott's state of South Carolina,
that's I mean that South Carolina. They that's a red state.
You know, let's let's just be honest about that.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
And for whatever reason, they have.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Espoused Republican fiscal policies along with Republican ideologies and have
put forth have established this culture that Republican leadership is
the way to go right and it's widely shared in
(13:26):
the state, hence a red state and Tim Scott backing
this big beautiful bill. Obviously there's a Republican leadership in
the White House, there's Republican leadership in the Senate and
in both sessions of Congress, so you know they're up
right now. And for them to just say that they
(13:46):
want to put this big beautiful bill forth is absolutely
on par with what they what their brand is, right,
this is what they do. If you were to say
that and leave it at that, I could say, Okay,
that's what a republic can doing.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
What Republicans do.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Yeah, it's the pick me part that it just is
crossing the line. And the thing is if this was
the first time he had done it, it would be like, ah,
that's a little cringe, but we can move past it.
This is like the seventh time that he's done it,
and it's like, do you remember when Drake was on
stage and he was trying to kiss Rihanna, and we
all saw it, and Rihanna kind of turned her head
(14:22):
because she can.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
See it coming.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
And we were all a little embarrassed for Drake, like,
fam chill, Yeah, imagine Drake doing that seven times the
same person, and you know she's just ignoring them. And
so we're like, yo, why does this? Why is this
guy here? He's just he's goofy and corny, And this
is the hypothetical Timscott, not the real Timscott. Again, I'm
trying to be a kind, but you know it's gonna
(14:48):
run out. Pam, you gotta get your act together, all right, moving.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
On, move on?
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Yeah, Hey, what's up.

BIM News brand anchor Mimi Brown is here with us
discussing the weekends major stories all right. Next up from
France twenty four dot com. US Immigration and Customs Enforcement
detained Cobby le May, age twenty five, a citizen of Italy,
(15:40):
June sixth, at the Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas, Nevada,
for immigration violations. La May entered the United States on
April thirtieth and overstayed the terms.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Of his visa.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
According to the statement from the ICE Agency, the Italian national,
who is a UNISEF Goodwill Ambassador and has a following
of more than one hundred and sixty two million on TikTok,
has since departed the US. La May has not immediately
posted publicly about the incident as of Saturday afternoon. So
for those that don't know, this is the gentleman who's
(16:13):
famous for like making the silent videos where you know.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
People have he's a reposter.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Mostly someone will make some content and they will like
invent some new thing or whatever, and usually their invention
is like very complicated or unnecessary, and he will come
in at the tail end of the video and simplify
what it is they're trying to do or introduce something
that already exists, that is widely known. It's almost like
(16:43):
a common sense sort of thing, like, Okay, you've done
the most and this already exists, or this is how
people normally do this thing. And they'll like kind of
do a shoulder shrug at the end. So this is
the content. I'm sure you can see him in your
mind's eye, brown skin content creator. And you know he
was detained in Las Vegas, and this comes at a
(17:06):
time when the climate is concerning for people who don't
live here. And you know clearly this person is a
resident of Italy and he comes to the US because
he has business in the US. He's a widely loved,
globally loved figure, and even he is susceptible to this
(17:28):
current immigration policy and this current immigration sort of crackdown.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
So give us your thoughts here, Mimi, Yeah, you.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Know, this is it's really unfortunate. He was or is
has the most TikTok followers out of everyone everyone, he
has number one, He's number one. And I think what
also should be noted is that he is a global
star and a UNISE ambassador, and I think, you know, okay, yes,
(18:00):
creation laws or the immigration laws. However, if he's guilty
of staying a few days past his visa, I'm assuming
there's another way before we got into all of this
that you know, this could be handled with easily with
some paperwork, right. I think that we are on this
this train where if you're black or brown, or you're
(18:21):
you're you're you know from an African country you look African,
or if you're Hispanic or whatever that is, you've got
to get up out of here because you know, I
know a number of other immigrants who are perfectly fine
and are not wondering or waiting for when Ice is
coming to get them. So it just it just shows
how how harsh the rules have have become, and it
(18:46):
raises a lot of concerns about who's being targeted. And
so for me, that's a little it's a little uh disheartening.
You're right, he hasn't said anything public. I'm pretty curious
to see where he was supported too. Is he he
was an Italian citizen, correct, so I'm sure he went
(19:06):
back to Italy. But you know, it's it's it's it
is one of those things ramsays like this is where
we are right now, you know, and and just being
here in La it just you you, you know, it
looks like almost like a war zone in here. We've
got tanker trucks running through our freeways and black Hawk helicopters,
(19:27):
you know, flying over our homes.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
And we'll get to that. Q and I are going
to do an episode of one and the.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
I just you know, when you just put the two together,
it's like, you know, is this what we're doing for
everyday influencers and yeah, you know, kitchen workers, it just
seems very.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Extra, Yeah, super extra.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
And you know, Donald Trump famously doesn't like to lose
and is as a as a very fragile ego, and
so I could see things getting a.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Lot work before they got better. But yeah, you're right.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
And as a person who travels internationally and you know
Q does too famously, and you know, Q as at
least has been detained coming back into the US within
the past.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
I don't even know when it was, but we were
coming back from Canada.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
And he got himmed up at the border and we're
stuck there for hours and they're asking about all of
his travels and I am getting ready to leave the
country here pretty soon, and I'm worried about that too,
because it doesn't necessary your immigration status doesn't necessarily determine
whether or not you're detained at the border, because you know,
(20:45):
there are people that will cross reference your social media,
especially if you're big enough, you know, content creator, and
will detain you based off of your social media whether
or not you've been critical of the United States government
things like this, you know, And they can make a
case that it makes sense they need to monitor who's
(21:05):
coming and going and people that might have harbor negative
sentiments toward the United States. But the overreach comes when
you're detaining US citizens who have the you know, the
freedom of speech. You know that is you know, our
first Amendment right, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
And so.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
The concern that I have, you know here getting ready
to leave the country again is under this different political
administration and different political climate, is it's there, It's present,
and you know, seeing this played out with someone with
the most TikTok viewers, he's I think he's like the
highest like on all platforms, he's like the number one
(21:53):
or at least.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Like top three.
Speaker 5 (21:55):
Uh looked at up number one.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Influencer personality across all platforms. This guy is the one,
and clearly he's not he's this guy's a multimillionaire. This
guy's you know what I mean, Like he's not trying
to sneak into the country.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
He's not.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
You know, there's nowhere he can go where people don't
recognize him. And so the heavy handed approach I think
is for show. Like you said, it could have been
handled with some simple paperwork. So I'm concerned about what
they'll do for me because I don't have a reach
like this guy him. I come and go at the
border quite a bit. So we'll see what happened. Finally,
(22:35):
and again I want to restate that we will be
talking about the protest in Los Angeles, so that happened
and developed, and you know, these are stories that you
may have missed. We're definitely going to cover that one.
But our final story for today for this episode. This
comes from shinemycrown dot com. A woman's viral video declaring
her preference for working under white male managers rather than
(22:58):
minorities has ignited a firestorm of controversy controversy across social media,
reviving tensions around race leadership dynamics and corporate diversity efforts.
The video has the woman named Tony childs I'm not
going to cheer her social media because I don't want
to big her up. She says plainly, quote, if you're
going to offer me a job and I find out
(23:19):
my manager is going to be a minority, babe, keep
that DEI higher and keep that job offer too. I
prefer to work under white men. Then she elaborates referring
to white male supervisors as helpful, straightforward, and supportive of
her career growth, in contrast to what she claims are passive,
aggressive minority managers. Quote, they like to make you pay
back the dues they had to pay in nineteen eighty seven.
(23:41):
You all got a chip on your shoulder that I
personally do not have the brain power to deal with.
And I think that she actually did have a modicum
of truth in that she does not personally have the
brain power to deal with it.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
More.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
I get my thoughts though there in entirety, Let's get
yours here.
Speaker 5 (24:01):
This is this is uh.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
I mean, listen, we've all had our our personal experiences
and this could be a personal preference. However, the way
that she's gone about it. The way that she's putting
down another race to pick up another race is that's
not her race.
Speaker 5 (24:20):
Is what's concerning for me.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
It reinforces harmful stereotypes, you know, undermines the e I efforts,
which of course we're still you know, fighting right now,
you know.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
And it just it just.
Speaker 5 (24:37):
It's it's a painful view.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Of a system that already favors white whiteness, right, And
so when we look at what she's saying, she's implying that,
you know, if it's not white, it's not right, and
and and and they're the better bosses, and that's not true.
I mean, again, your personal preferences. I've had great people
(25:00):
who are black men who have been a boss or
a black woman, and I've had actually Hispanic and white men,
and it just depends on everything. And so I think
painting a broad stroke on this is just very dangerous.
Speaker 5 (25:15):
And so she doesn't sound very intelligent, all.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Right, said She admitted she doesn't have the brain power
to deal with it.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
So, yeah, to me, the only thing I can think
is is trolling, because she hit all the points. First Off,
she's talking about her specific experience, which we can't verify
beyond her second thing. She invoked DEI higher, So that's
(25:42):
a really easy way to troll. And then she says
that white men supervisors have been helpful, straightforward, forward and supportive, right,
and that may be true, but it's also true that
white men supervisors hinder people's growth they stand in the
way they promote other people over you. That you know
that that's true of them as well, and it may
(26:03):
not have happened in her story. And then she talks
about passive, aggressive minority managers and they want you to
pay back the dues that they had.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
To pay, and that's a very it's a trolley way.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Of looking at things, right, Yeah, Because again I'm sure
a lot of people would would agree that if you're
working for someone who is black and they're your immediate supervisor,
if they are indeed supportive of you, they're going to
make sure that you have the metal that you have
the the optics, that you understand the pitfalls that they
(26:42):
had to overcome to get where they are, so that
you will be fortified on your journey at whatever career, job,
whatever that you're in. So if they make you, hey, look,
you're going to have to do this the right way.
I found that when they say that to me, they
mean mean you Ramses specifically, are going to have to
(27:03):
do this the right way. They all can get away
with doing it this way, but you cannot. And what
that means isn't that they're picking on me. What that
means is that they know that me, with this big o' afro,
I'm a little bit more susceptible to a higher level
of scrutiny than maybe some of the other folks I
might work with. And so it's the thing we always
(27:24):
say to our children, and that we were told you
have to be twice as gark, twice as good to
be good enough. Right, So this is kind of I
think a mischaracterization of that dynamic and her talking about
what the dues they had to pay in nineteen eighty
seven and have a chip on her shoulder. It's very
(27:45):
difficult to be black for any length of time in
this country and not realize that. Now, some people like clicks,
some people like as Q would say, they like to
be the contrarian and they like the engagement, and it's
just a part of their cult, their nature, you know,
that's that's that's the role that they found to play
(28:06):
in society, and so they're going to do that. But
I know troll them when I see it, and this
is troll. There's no way that this is like a
valid you know. Again, it's too broad a stroke and
it's too unique to her story.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
And if she says it all day.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
You know, it's just we need to get to a
point where we're not engaging patrols, you know, Because we
don't engage with them, they die out. We're trying to
convince some ladies to change her mind when she's already
got the you know, the racist white folk's greatest hits
ingrained into the conversation. She's not going to change her mind.
She just wants the attention. So the moment we give
her the attention, she wins. So it's a troll. So
(28:42):
we'll leave it right there. Don't forget. These and more
