Rory O'Neill recaps Diddy trial as jury deliberations are ongoing

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Roy and Neil joined the Snow correspondent and following what's
happening with the Diddy trial, but also Ry, I know
you've been getting this to the latest time. This horrible
situation in Idaho where a gunman targeting firefighters. There to
firemen now killed in this situation, the gunman's dead. But
any updates on who this person is, what the motive
may have been. Why?

Speaker 2 (00:19):
Yeah, all the same questions we're asking, but no, the
officials there have not released the suspects name. You know,
they were able to trace him thanks to cell phone signals.
There was a big man hunt that they were trying
to launch because there were reports that there could have
been multiple snipers. So they were doing searches for cell

(00:40):
phone signals and they were tracking one that wasn't moving
and they thought, well, maybe he's lying low, maybe he's
hiding out somewhere, So they encircled that area, moved in
on it, and found out this man apparently had taken
his own life. Now, from the evidence they have at
this point, they are pretty confident that this man was
acting alone, that he set a fire that brought out
the fire fighters, and when those first responders got unseen

(01:02):
he started shooting, so it's we don't know anything about him.
They have not publicly named him yet and we're hoping
to get that update.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
Charlie, Well, that's clearly mental illness. Something weird's going on there.
We'll find out what the background is on this guy soon.
I'm sure the investigation will bring all that out. But
just a horrible situation. All right, let's switch. Diddy's trial
is now in the hands of the jury. They start
their deliverery deliberations after closing arguments last Friday, they get
going this morning. I'm telling you, right, I don't know

(01:32):
where your gut is on all of this, but it
sounds like the guy should go to jail forever. But
now I keep seeing all these holes at the prosecution,
you know, is getting punched into their gut, and it's like, well,
wait a minute, is did he get a sneak.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
Out of this? Yeah, And keep in mind the defense
didn't call one witness. Essentially, they challenged all the prosecution
witnesses and then gave their closing arguments on Friday, saying, see,
we told you they didn't prove anything. We'll see you know,
it's five federal charges. Rico the racketeering charge one of
the most serious, but also one of the more complicated,

(02:08):
and that could be something that gums up the work
here as they try to go for a conviction. But
he's also facing two counts each of sex trafficking by
force and coercions and transportation to engage in prostitution. So
the fact that people cross state lines to engage in prostitution,

(02:28):
it's pretty evident, right. They're the tech that showed they
paid this guy to come in to go to these
freak ops and you're like, all right, that's pretty obvious.
So maybe they get him on those lesser charges, but
the more serious stuff could send Ditty to prison for
the rest of his life.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
Yeah, I was going to say, this could go from
anywhere from you know, acquittal obviously to you know, see
you later forever, anticipation on potentially ahn jury on this.
I mean, it seems to me that there's a lot
of questions.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
And all this well right, and you wonder too, like
this is weak numbers after seven weeks do you want
to come back with nothing? Like you do wonder at
some point do juries want to convict us to say
that that was worth it? Not that they just went
through seven weeks to have no conviction. Nothing happened. And again,
you know, they keep on showing the video of him
beating up the girlfriend allegedly outside the elevators, and again

(03:20):
showing he's a bad dude. But whether or not he's
guilty of federal crimes is still the open question.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
Yeah, well, I'll have to keep an eye on that.
And also some new research out on Henry. This is
a new acronym stands for high earner, not rich yet,
but working on it. What the heck is this all about?
And why are these making these people making these big
salaries still struggling.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
Well, this is what we see now, especially among millennials,
that they're turning into Henry's. You know, when I was
a kid, we had yuppies and it was the eighties.
But I guess now they're Henry's high earner, not rich yet,
but because they're getting squeezed right, the daycare is so expensive,
and saving for college and saving for retirement, and for
the higher interest rates on the house. More home price

(04:03):
is never higher. So apparently these people making well into
six figures are still ending up every month with nothing
left over. So the emphasis though, is on the why
in Henry high Earner, not rich yet, the confidence that
if they can keep plugging away, that eventually they'll cross
that threshold and be able to say that they're rich.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
You know, I think you need a little side hull, Serry,
we're in the wrong business opening up a d I think.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
Yeah, I'm a Lenny low Earner. Not nothing yet.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
I'm gonna have to come up with one. I like that,
all right, buddy, Thank you so much. I appreciate you
this morning,
