1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,760
This Diddy situation is bonkers.
I look at him like I say Jesus. 

2
00:00:05,560 --> 00:00:08,560
And the next question is, so 
far, the prosecution has brought

3
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:12,480
in 16 different people to 
testify over the first two weeks

4
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:14,880
of the trial. 
Now, just to be clear, Combs has

5
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:18,720
pleaded not guilty and firmly 
denies any wrongdoing. 

6
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:22,480
His lawyers say any personal 
issues he had came down to 

7
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:26,000
jealousy and that while some of 
his private life might be 

8
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,440
unusual, it doesn't make it 
illegal. 

9
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,480
OK, before we think about what 
whether Diddy is innocent or 

10
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:36,560
guilty, let's hear from the 16 
witnesses #1 Israel Flores. 

11
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,960
He was the first witness and he 
worked at the security of a 

12
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:43,760
hotel in LA where an incident 
between Combs and Ventura 

13
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,240
reportedly happened back in 
2016. 

14
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,680
He said that when he got to the 
6th floor after a distress call,

15
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,440
he found Combs and Ventura in 
the hallway. 

16
00:00:52,480 --> 00:00:57,200
According to Flores, Ventura had
a visible injury and Combs gave 

17
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,840
him a chilling look. 
After helping Ventura, Flores 

18
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,200
said Combs tried to slip him a 
bribe, flashing a big wad of 

19
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,440
cash and asking him to keep 
quiet. 

20
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:11,120
He said no #2 Daniel Phillip. 
He is someone who worked very 

21
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,320
closely with Ventura. 
He shared that he was hired to 

22
00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:16,720
be with Ventura while Combs was 
present. 

23
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,800
He said that once Combs threw a 
bottle at her and then he 

24
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,960
dragged her by her hair and that
was all because she didn't 

25
00:01:22,960 --> 00:01:25,280
immediately follow his 
directions. 

26
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:29,520
Philip also described hearing 
her apologizing and then sounds 

27
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,080
that suggested suggested a 
struggle. 

28
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,760
He admitted that he didn't step 
in, explaining he felt he didn't

29
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,200
have the power to intervene 
because of just who Diddy Combs 

30
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,320
was. 
During cross examination, 

31
00:01:40,320 --> 00:01:43,720
Combs's lawyers questioned some 
of the details and timing in his

32
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,160
story. 
But Philip stuck firmly to what 

33
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:51,040
he said #3 Cassie Ventura, 
musician and Combs's 

34
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,760
ex-girlfriend, was on the stand 
for four days during the first 

35
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,400
week of the trial. 
The prosecutors called her on 

36
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,920
early, partly because she was 8 
months pregnant. 

37
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,760
Whilst testifying, she explained
how Combs signed her to his 

38
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,280
label and that they had an on 
and off relationship that lasted

39
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:11,000
more than 10 years. 
Casey said that things started 

40
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,080
off well, but then overtime 
Combs allegedly started to 

41
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,720
become more controlling and more
aggressive. 

42
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,880
She said that Combs would often 
threaten her if she didn't 

43
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,200
follow his rules, and she said 
she was made to take part in the

44
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,840
wild parties where things would 
get very evil there. 

45
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,640
Casey described these parties as
being very much planned by 

46
00:02:30,640 --> 00:02:33,720
Combs, down to where the people 
were placed and even the 

47
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,400
lighting. 
She also shared details about 

48
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:40,040
several times when Combs was 
very cruel to her, including a 

49
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:44,480
2016 incident that the jury saw 
on video, Casey said. 

50
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:48,080
When I decided to leave, I 
grabbed what I could and I got 

51
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,280
out, but Sean followed me into 
the hallway by the elevators, 

52
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,440
picked me up, threw me down, 
kicked me and tried to drag me 

53
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,360
back. 
The couple broke up in 2018. 

54
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:02,920
Then in 2023, Casey took legal 
action against Combs, accusing 

55
00:03:02,920 --> 00:03:05,960
him of a long history of 
controlling behaviour. 

56
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:10,200
The case was settled for $20 
million, with no admission of 

57
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,280
guilt from Combs. 
But it sparked the federal 

58
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:18,200
investigation #4 Yasmin Binder, 
a federal agent from Homeland 

59
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:22,200
Security Investigations. 
She talked about the search of 

60
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:26,400
Combs hotel straight after his 
arrest in September 2024. 

61
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:31,480
She said investigators found 
$9000 in cash and substances 

62
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:35,000
that tested positive as well as 
baby oil were found. 

63
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:39,480
Photos of the hotel room were 
then shown to the jury #5 Dawn 

64
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,920
Richard, a former member of 
Danity Kane. 

65
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,160
Dawn Richard, who used to be 
part of Combs's music group 

66
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:50,160
called Danity Kane, described 1 
occasion in 2009 when Combs came

67
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:54,680
downstairs angry, shouting about
missing breakfast eggs and 

68
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,360
telling Casey that she never 
could get anything right. 

69
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,320
Then, according to Dawn, Combs 
grabbed the and with eggs and 

70
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,720
tried to hit Casey with it, 
causing her to fall to the 

71
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,040
floor. 
Dawn also said that she saw 

72
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,960
Combs punch Casey in the face 
with a closed fist before a 

73
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,440
music festival in Central Park 
that very same year. 

74
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,279
Casey tried to cover up the 
injury with sunglasses and 

75
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:21,240
makeup, and Dawn also wore 
sunglasses too, as a way to show

76
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,520
her support for her. 
The jury saw a photo of Dawn, 

77
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,720
Casey and another member of 
Danity Kane, all wearing 

78
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,960
sunglasses at that same 
festival. 

79
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,680
On the stand, defence lawyer 
Nicole Westmoreland questioned 

80
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,880
Dawn's story, saying parts of it
had changed overtime and 

81
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,840
suggested that she was 
testifying because Colmes's 

82
00:04:39,840 --> 00:04:43,400
actions had actually ended her 
music career by breaking up the 

83
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:48,200
groups that she was part of #6. 
Kerry Morgan, Ventura's former 

84
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,880
best friend, shared with the 
jury 2 times. 

85
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,400
She said she saw Colmes get 
physical with Cassie. 

86
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,560
One was at the house in which 
Colmes rented in Hollywood Hills

87
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,960
and the other happened during a 
trip to Jamaica. 

88
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,160
Kerry described the Jamaican 
moment like this. 

89
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,160
I heard her screaming and went 
down to the hallway. 

90
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,400
It was a long hallway. 
They were coming out of the 

91
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,560
master bedroom and he was 
dragging her by her hair on the 

92
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,240
floor. 
The prosecution also asked Kerry

93
00:05:14,280 --> 00:05:18,080
about what happened after the 
2016 incident when Combs is 

94
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,320
accused of hurting Cassie. 
Her story lined up with what 

95
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,400
Cassie had told the jury, that 
the police showed up because 

96
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,560
Cassie didn't cooperate. 
She said she later accepted 

97
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,480
$30,000 from Combs after she he 
threatened to sue him. 

98
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:35,120
In exchange, Kerry signed a 
confidentiality agreement. 

99
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:40,600
After that, her friendship with 
Cassie was over #7 David James 

100
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:44,800
Combs Former personal assistant 
David James used to be Combs. 

101
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,200
His personal assistant gave the 
jury a glimpse of what it was 

102
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,920
like working for him. 
He shared a story about his 

103
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,560
first time walking into the Bad 
Boy Entertainment headquarters 

104
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,680
for a job interview. 
An employee told him this is Mr.

105
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,560
Combs, his Kingdom. 
We're all here to serve him. 

106
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:04,840
While pointing to a picture of 
Combs, David describes a wide 

107
00:06:04,840 --> 00:06:07,840
range of things he had to do, 
from stocking hotel rooms to 

108
00:06:07,840 --> 00:06:11,200
driving Combs when he wanted to 
confront a rival record 

109
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:15,280
executive called Marion Siege 
Knight, reportedly while 

110
00:06:15,280 --> 00:06:18,280
carrying several guns. 
The jury first heard about this 

111
00:06:18,280 --> 00:06:21,320
showdown during Cassie's 
testimony, and David said that 

112
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:25,320
he himself, when he witnessed 
it, it made him want to quit #8 

113
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:29,040
Regina Ventura. 
Cassie Ventura's mother. 

114
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,880
Regina Ventura, Cassie's mom, 
told the jury how she took out a

115
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,800
home equity loan to pay Combs 
because she was worried he might

116
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,840
follow through on a threat to 
release a private video of her 

117
00:06:40,840 --> 00:06:42,920
daughter. 
She read an e-mail from Cassie 

118
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:47,080
to her from Combs's assistant 
Capricorn Clark from December 

119
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,920
2011 where Cassie wrote The 
threats that have been made 

120
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:55,880
towards me by Sean Puffy Combs 
are that he is going to release 

121
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,320
2 tapes of me. 
Regina testified that she and 

122
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,800
her husband decided to take out 
a loan so that they could send 

123
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:07,560
Combs the $20,000 he demanded, 
although later he decided to 

124
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,880
give this money back #9 Sheree 
Hayes. 

125
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,680
He told the court that he was 
hired around a dozen times by 

126
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,480
Sean Combs and Cassie Ventura. 
Hayes said that he first met the

127
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:22,720
pair back in 2012 when Ventura 
asked him to help set up a scene

128
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,840
for Combs birthday. 
He was told to go to the Trump 

129
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,600
International Hotel and Tower in
Manhattan. 

130
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:32,040
And honestly, the things that 
were mentioned are so dark for 

131
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,160
what he was asked to do, I'd 
actually rather not talk about 

132
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,200
it. 
But after that first time, Hayes

133
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,320
said that he worked for the 
couple up to 12 more times, 

134
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:45,280
getting paid between 1200 and 
$2000 each time. 

135
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,280
On the questioning from Combs's 
lawyers, Hayes said that he 

136
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,480
noticed Ventura sometimes 
flinched at Combs's 

137
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,560
instructions, but otherwise 
seemed comfortable. 

138
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,200
This feeds into the big debate 
in the case. 

139
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:03,360
Was Ventura really doing all of 
this willingly #10 We had Gerald

140
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,640
Gannon, a special agent with 
Homeland Security 

141
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,280
Investigations. 
He walked the jury through 

142
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,320
evidence seized from Combs home 
in Miami Beach. 

143
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:17,240
Among the things found were 
parts of two AR15 style rifles 

144
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,360
with scratched out serial 
numbers just steps away from 

145
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:24,240
where Combs allegedly stored. 
Items linked to those private 

146
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,280
events. 
Stuff like baby oil, high heels 

147
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:32,640
and other items #11 was 
psychologist Dawn Hughes, who 

148
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:37,159
helped explain why people stay 
in these types of relationships.

149
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,400
She said it's hard for us to 
break up with someone even under

150
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,840
the best circumstances. 
Now, she wasn't actually allowed

151
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,440
to analyze Combs and Ventura's 
relationship directly, but she 

152
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:51,080
did give some background on why 
Ventura might have gone back 

153
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:56,400
repeatedly #12 George Kaplan, 
Combs former assistant who also 

154
00:08:56,400 --> 00:09:00,600
testified he had an immunity 
deal so he he couldn't be 

155
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,000
prosecuted for anything he 
admitted. 

156
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:07,520
Kaplan said he quit after 15 
months because he couldn't keep 

157
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:11,040
fixing problems caused by Combs 
his repeated acts. 

158
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,400
He described moments where he 
also saw Combs hold a whiskey 

159
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,960
glass over Cassie's head during 
the flights. 

160
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:21,000
And in another incident, he saw 
Sean Combs throw apples at one 

161
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,760
of his other girlfriends. 
I felt guilty for not stopping 

162
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,320
it. 
Kaplan told the jury. 

163
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,960
He also explained how he helped 
set up the hotel room for Combs 

164
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,800
on very short notice, bringing 
in a hotel bag stacked of 

165
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:37,600
essentials like candles, baby 
oil, speakers, and extra 

166
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,080
clothes. 
After the events, Kaplan was 

167
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,880
often asked to clean up because 
they didn't want hotel staff 

168
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:49,120
seeing or recording what had 
happened #13 Kid Cuddy, who is a

169
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:53,240
musician and actor and his real 
name is Scott Mess Cuddy. 

170
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:57,120
He told the jury that his brief 
relationship with Cassie Ventura

171
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:01,440
was overshadowed by threats from
Sean Combs, which ultimately led

172
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,880
him and Ventura to stop seeing 
each other. 

173
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,480
He said that he suspected that 
Combs broke into his home and 

174
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:11,720
even orchestrated the fire 
bombing of his luxurious sports 

175
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,120
car. 
Mescudi explained that after 

176
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,480
starting a relationship with 
Ventura, who was involved on and

177
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,960
off with Combs for years, he got
a sudden phone call from Ventura

178
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,440
warning him that Combs had found
out that they were seeing each 

179
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,040
other. 
Soon after, Combs assistant 

180
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,800
called to say Combs had broken 
into MES Cuddy's home. 

181
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,160
I said Em, are you in the house?
And he said what's up? 

182
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,720
Are you in my house? 
I just want to talk to you. 

183
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,760
I'm on my way over right now. 
This is what Mess Cuddy 

184
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,200
testified. 
So he then rushed home, but he 

185
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,520
didn't find Combs there. 
However, there was clear signs 

186
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,400
of the break in Christmas 
presents he'd bought for his 

187
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:52,120
family were opened and his dog 
was locked in the bathroom. 

188
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,560
He reported the incident to the 
police. 

189
00:10:54,560 --> 00:10:57,640
Mess Cuddy said that he and 
Ventura broke up because things 

190
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,720
were getting out of hand and he 
was worried for for both of 

191
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,480
their safety. 
During her testimony, Ventura 

192
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:07,680
said Combs threatened both her 
and Mescudi if they continued in

193
00:11:07,680 --> 00:11:11,480
their relationship, even vowing 
to blow up Mescudi's car. 

194
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,720
Kid Cudi told the jurors he 
suspected Combs carried out the 

195
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:19,000
threat in early 2012 after 
someone cut open the soft top of

196
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:23,280
his Porsche and threw a lit 
Matalov cocktail inside. 

197
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:27,040
The jury saw photos of the burnt
car as evidence. 

198
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,800
Combs lawyers have denied any 
involvement. 

199
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:34,840
The fire bombing #14 Milah 
Morales Morales was called to 

200
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:39,400
testify about an alleged 2010 
incident in Beverly Hills hotel 

201
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,240
suite. 
Morales said Combs stormed into 

202
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,600
the room after a night out, 
shouting where is she before 

203
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,120
storming the bedroom and 
shutting the door. 

204
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,600
Morales said Ventura had to stay
with her for a few days to 

205
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,800
recover. 
A friend who was a doctor 

206
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,960
checked on Ventura and suggested
that she should go to an 

207
00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:01,760
emergency room, but Morales said
Ventura chose not to go #15 

208
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,320
Frederick Zemor. 
He was a hotel manager, the 

209
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:09,040
general manager of the Elementaj
Beverly Hills. 

210
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:13,120
He testified that Combs was a 
frequent guest at the hotel. 

211
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:17,080
According to the notes that the 
hotel kept, Combs visited often.

212
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,760
It said he always spills candle 
wax on everything, He uses 

213
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:24,720
excessive amounts of oil, and he
places the rooms in an out of 

214
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:28,400
order state upon departure. 
And they have a great need for 

215
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:32,360
deep cleaning. 
Lastly #16 Joshua Croft, a 

216
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,920
special agent with Homeland 
Security Investigations. 

217
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:40,000
He briefly explained the process
of examining electronic devices 

218
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,680
recovered in the investigation. 
He told the jury he conducted 

219
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:48,200
data extractions from the three 
laptops belonging to Cassie 

220
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,960
Ventura. 
One of the laptops had a user 

221
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:56,040
profile named Frank Black and 
Elias used by Sean Combs. 

222
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,000
But listen to this. 
During the Diddy trials, there 

223
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,440
have been reports about people 
standing outside the courthouse 

224
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:05,800
wearing free Diddy T-shirts. 
A woman shared on TikTok that 

225
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,960
she was offered $20 to wear one 
of these shirts, but declined 

226
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,320
because the payment was in a 
cryptocurrency called Diddy 

227
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:17,400
Coin, which is managed by Combs 
sons Justin and King. 

228
00:13:17,560 --> 00:13:20,080
She wasn't familiar with the 
coin and didn't think it was 

229
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,440
worth it. 
Another person reportedly 

230
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:26,400
received $60.00 for standing 
outside of the courtroom for 

231
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,280
three hours. 
Why do you? 

232
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,080
Why do you? 
Why do you feel that way? 

233
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,240
These are all paid protesters. 
You can get $20.00 an hour if 

234
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:36,720
you wear a T-shirt. 
You guys speak up. 

235
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,840
She just got recruited right? 
I refuse. 

236
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,280
You said no, it wasn't worth the
20. 

237
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:47,000
No, but like he told me that 
it's for a biddy coin, so I 

238
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:48,280
don't. 
I'm not really sure what that 

239
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:53,240
is. 
Yeah, they just tried to pay $20

240
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,080
to wear a free fucking shirt. 
Stop. 

241
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:57,920
I knew I could tell. 
Because the lady right there, 

242
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,760
she just cut to go wear a shirt 
and I'm like. 

243
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,440
You've probably already heard 
that former President Barack 

244
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:08,400
Obama's name came up briefly 
during the trial, mainly as part

245
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:12,320
of a testimony referencing Combs
connections and influence in the

246
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,520
entertainment and political 
worlds. 

247
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:18,400
However, there was actually no 
suggestion or evidence presented

248
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,960
linking Obama directly to the 
case or any of the alleged 

249
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,400
activities. 
But OK, I know what some of you 

250
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,280
are thinking. 
Is Obama innocent or guilty? 

251
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:31,280
But I think a bigger question, 
is Diddy innocent or guilty? 

252
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,960
I think the evidence points to 
the fact that he is guilty, but 

253
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,640
it's a bigger, bigger question 
that needs to be asked. 

254
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,440
Are you innocent or are you 
guilty? 

255
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,680
You see, every single one of us 
has broken God's law. 

256
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,080
We've told lies. 
We've looked at things we 

257
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,360
shouldn't of. 
We've thought angry thoughts, 

258
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,080
wrong thoughts, hateful 
thoughts. 

259
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:51,600
We've all sinned, the Bible 
says. 

260
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:55,000
We've all sinned and fallen 
short of the glory of God. 

261
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:59,360
We all deserve to go to a place 
of outer darkness, a place 

262
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,360
called hell. 
The Bible describes. 

263
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:05,480
That's what we all deserve. 
But God's in his grace doesn't 

264
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,840
want us to go there. 
So he sent his Son Jesus Christ 

265
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:13,360
to go upon an old Roman cross 
and die in our place, being the 

266
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,320
substitute for our sin. 
Now some of you listening to 

267
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,840
this, you think, how dare you 
compare me to Diddy? 

268
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,240
How dare you put me in that same
category? 

269
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,360
Now, I'm not saying you've done 
things like that. 

270
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,440
Perhaps you have. 
Maybe you've done things even 

271
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,760
worse. 
But I am saying this before a 

272
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:30,720
God whose standard is 
perfection. 

273
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:32,800
We're all guilty. 
And here's something else that's

274
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:36,720
going to shock you even more. 
Did you know this even Diddy is 

275
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,280
not too far gone? 
You see, the Bible says that if 

276
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:43,160
we confess our sins, he is 
faithful and just to forgive us 

277
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:47,200
of our sins and to cleanse us of
all unrighteousness. 

278
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,560
So whether you're the worst 
Sinner in the room or you're 

279
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,960
someone who everyone looks at 
and says they're a good 

280
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,360
upstanding citizen, they're a 
good person, we're all sinners, 

281
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:59,200
but we also can all be forgiven.
We can all be cleansed if we 

282
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,720
come to the Lord Jesus Christ 
and ask him to save us. 

283
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,960
If we believe on his name, the 
one who died on on that cross, 

284
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:10,040
our sins can be scrubbed away by
the very blood of the Lord Jesus

285
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:11,960
Christ. 
You say why does the God of the 

286
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:15,240
Bible demand a blood sacrifice 
to forgive us? 

287
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:19,080
I'll tell you why. 
Because our sin is so bad before

288
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,800
his righteousness that death is 
required. 

289
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:25,680
The Bible says the wages of sin 
is death, but the gift of God is

290
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,880
eternal life through Jesus 
Christ our Lord. 

291
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,880
And that eternal life is 
available for you right now 

292
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,840
because the Christ Jesus who 
died on the cross, who went into

293
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:39,080
a tomb, rose on the third day 
and offers eternal life and hope

294
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:43,560
to all sinners who will run into
his arms and say, save me, Lord 

295
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:47,280
Jesus, forgive me of my sins. 
Have mercy on my soul. 

296
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,560
He'll forgive you and wash away 
your sins. 

297
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,280
Perhaps you clicked on here 
because you had an interest in 

298
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,200
Diddy Combs and the trial. 
Well, my dear friend, I want you

299
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,640
to take interest in your soul 
and the trial that you and I 

300
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,480
will all face. 
Because whether we choose Jesus 

301
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,680
Christ or not, we'll all stand 
before the judgement seat of 

302
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:06,920
Christ and we will be on trial 
that day. 

303
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,200
The books will be opened, as the
Bible says, every deed we've 

304
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,880
ever done, every sin, it's been 
written, it's been accounted 

305
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:17,680
for, and they will open one day.
But those books can be scrubbed 

306
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:21,160
clean, can be blotted out, if 
you trust in Christ and ask him 

307
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,720
to have mercy on you. 
But if you say no, well, you 

308
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:27,880
will find yourself in a much, 
much more scary position than 

309
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:31,560
Diddy Combs is right now. 
Eternal darkness in hell 

310
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:33,600
forever. 
I don't want that for you. 

311
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,200
That's why I've made this video.
