We almost made it to Friday. We got one more day, so let's enjoy this. Thursday week is flying by. Crazy news week. This is a news week where it's like, today we're gonna have another gumbo episode because we all caught up on all our usual suspects. Diddy. No new Diddy news to really talk about. What else? Luigi. My Luigi. We all caught up on him. We, everybody. Who else? You know, everybody. What we deal with is pretty much we caught up. So we gonna just kind of talk about everything that been going on this week. Certain. Certain stuff I hadn't had a chance to talk about because we had other things we had to get to and discuss. So you all know how we do this. The shrimp gumbo episode, it's gonna be a little bit of this, a little bit of that, but it's all going make sense and it's all going to be important stories that we need to pay attention to. But before I go further, it just got to the point I got. I gotta say something y'all. Y'all know I. I rant to y'all. We gotta. We gotta stop being so butt hurt when somebody has a different difference of opinion. It's just getting out of control and out of hand and. And I don't like it. Like, and it's not even the younger generation. It's the old. Like me and, and, and. And a little bit younger than me and a little bit older than me. And in that age range, it's like, I don't know what the hell is going on. I don't know if this is how our generation was, but our generation went raised like. I don't know what it is, but people act like we all got to think alike in order for us to get along. People act like because you have a different religious or different political view that just negates everything else. And now we got to be enemies or now I can't support you. And it's like, get the. Grow the fuck up, man. Like, it's really getting to the point where. Where I think a lot of times we don't understand and mature and raise and understand people grow up. People have different experiences, different. Have different relationships, different culture. So many different things happen before you see somebody, before you meet me, before I meet you. You got a million bazillion experiences in your life that make up what decisions you make, who you follow, who you into, who you relate with. And if you judging people because of that, you're missing the whole point. Yeah, have your guy, have your. Who you rooting for. It's almost like teams. You might be a Joe Biden or a Kamala supporter. You might be a Trump supporter. You might love Elon Musk. You might say, fuck Elon Musk. There are all different reasons why people choose who they with. You root for your person, you support your person, and that's that. Too many people live and die and hang on stupid shit to judge somebody on. I judge people how they treat me. I judge people how they treat me. I don't give a if you like Elon Musk or not, if you love Eli or if you hate Elon, if you treat me with respect and, and appreciate and, and. And treat me right. I love you. If you mess with Biden, and maybe I don't, or maybe I do, I still don't put that on you. I don't judge you for that. And it's too much of that going on. Way too much. Somebody told me, you want to lose a friend real quick. Tell them your political views, Tell them your religious views. Quickest way to lose a fake friend or a fake follower or a fake supporter. The message today is everybody just need to grow the fuck up. You know what I do, Whether I'm for Trump or against Trump, I'll support who I am all the way up into the presidential race. And once Trump win, he won. Whether I was with him or not, I'm going to say, hey, I'm going to tell you, hey, your guy won't. Congratulations. Let's move forward. It ain't no big deal. I don't hate people for who they like or don't like or any of that. And it's too much of that going on. And it's all the old heads that's doing this shit. It ain't none of the young people. The young people will love you and treat you right and respect you whether you agree with who they want politically or whether you agree with religion they with. Because I guess they coming up in more of an era of accepting everybody for who they are or whatever. But it's all these old 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65 and 70 year olds that get too caught up in, okay, this person likes this person. So now I hate you. And it's like, it's disgusting. It's disgusting. I respect and appreciate everybody and I understand I might have a certain opinion on this, you might have another opinion. That's life. That's called being an adult and understanding that we don't all have to think exactly alike. And it just is getting to the point where it's like I'm wondering what is the problem? Where did we go wrong? Where we think that we need to live in echo chambers. And if you don't know what an echo chamber is. An echo chamber is when you're in an environment where everybody echoes what you want to say, what you want to hear, and what you comfortable to hear. But guess what happens in echo chamber or guess what doesn't happen? I should say growth. See, I'm good at what I do because I pay attention to every side. I don't stay on one side and shut my eyes to the world. And since Elon Musk is a hot button topic, I'm gonna use him as an example. Elon Musk do, does things that I like. I praise him. He do stuff I don't like. I call him out. But you got some people who, they can't accept that. They can't accept you calling out one of their heroes or somebody that they're into. I don't have a problem with Elon. I'll say one thing about Elon and somebody will get all pissed and tell me. Well, I thought, why would you? He's trying to help. Look, everybody gets smoke. This is an equal opportunity show. But one thing, like I've always said before, I was the first one of the first people in the fucking America with a Tesla. I knew the frustrating part is I knew about ELON Musk before 99% of you. That's the funny part. I was supporting Elon Musk back in 2016, 2017. Go check my old social media white Tesla, Tesla X, the $120,000 Tesla. And I'm only saying that to say I don't judge people at all. I go moment by moment. I go moment by moment. Meaning if you. It's like Family. If you do something I don't like, I'm a speak on it. But that don't mean I hate you. That don't mean I hate people who love you. That just means I'm speaking on, on this particular thing. And that's that it's just getting to the point where if you can't accept what people that people that think differently than you, then you probably need to stay off social media because social media is social media, meaning everybody is socializing. But what's disappointing is I know this is not none of the young people we supposed to be an example, but if you look at how a lot of us act on social media and how butthurt we get about an opinion, it's embarrassing. I can root against your guy and then when he win, I can say, hey, congratulations and I'm actually happy for you that your guy won, even though I might be upset. So I say all that to say that's why I'm independent. But now speaking of independent Mayor Adams, people gonna be tripping he going independent right after those charges dropped. We gonna talk about that today. I've been independent. I don't know what all the. Now they trying to Mayor Adams and different people that never was independent before trying to be. I've been independent and I've been independent for the reason that I started this show off with. I don't want to have to say whatever the Democrats want me to say. Do y'all know that how much the Democrats and the Republicans tried to rec me because of my platform when all that political stuff was going on? I wouldn't take a dollar cuz I don't want to be on this saying whatever y'all want me to say. Cuz democrats giving me 20,000. Not all of my, all of my content got a slant to the Democrats or the Republicans want to pay me 20,000 and now all my, my stuff got a slant to the Republicans. I don't give a shit about the money. See, that's the difference between me. I care about being straight down the middle. So don't nothing piss me off more when one side, when I speak on one issue, that side said, oh well, you're a leftist, you're this, you're that. Or if I speak on the other side then and I tell them like this. One day I got people on the right mad at me, the next day I got people on the left mad at me. That's how I know I'm doing it perfectly how I want to do it. I'm independent. Which means when something get in front of me, guess what? I don't have to spin it for the Democrats or I don't have to spend it for the Republicans. I could look at what's right in front of me. I could look what's right in front of me and judge that fucking issue. That's why I love being independent now. If you. I don't take nothing away from you. Like I said, I don't judge people for their choices. You grew up, you got a family, you got friends, you got grannies, you got parents who instilled in you whatever they instill. So if you a Democrat, I love you and I appreciate and respect your decision. If you're a Republican, same thing. I love and appreciate your decision. I just like to be independent because I don't want to feel like I have to say one thing or the other. And that's why my movement is taking the off, because you would think that's common sense, but it's not so common these days. These days, you got to be one side or the other or. Or everybody hates you. So I removed myself from that whole thing. I'm independent. And it's funny. People so much don't want to have a. An intelligent conversation about stuff. They just want to label you. Don't label me, debate me. If you have. If you have something of value to bring to the conversation that maybe I didn't say, say it. Don't attack me, because that. That's wasting your. Your platform, that's wasting your voice. Don't attack my opinion. Give yours. Maybe you'll add some value. Maybe you'll make me say, wow, you know what? I didn't know that about Jasmine Crockett or I didn't know that about Kamala. I didn't know that about Trump, or I didn't know that about Elon. I didn't know that. You know, take that opportunity to educate, not attack. It's. It's been going on, but it's. It's getting worse and worse, which is why I love my community. I love the flow show, no filter, because it's a bunch of people who come from different walks of life, different situations, different backgrounds, but we all love each other and we all got each other's back in this movement, and we don't judge anybody. I tell a person like this every now and then, I'll speak on something and somebody will come on and say, I didn't know that. Why would you talk about that person? I don't want to support you. No, more. And it's like I. I had to keep it nice. But since I'm talking to y'all and I'm just talking in the air, I can say I could be a little. I can be a little candid. I want to say, check this out. Just listen to me one time and then y'all tell me if I'm tripping. Do y'all realize I give three to four to sometimes even five takes a day. I give five opinions, five takes a day. And I've been doing that shit for pretty much longer than two years. We know how many days is in a year, so that comes out to about three. I've probably given about 3,000 takes over the past two years. If you think I think somebody going to agree with every all 3000 plus takes that I give, you ain't got them all. See, my community ain't built on pandering, so it's not built on somebody agreeing with every take that I say I give five takes a day. It is humanly impossible for anybody in this community or anybody following me. It is impossible for us to agree 3,000 times. And I already know that going in, which is already why I tell y'all, if you have a problem with different opinions, this ain't the community for you. I don't judge any of my community. That's why if you look at my followers, you gonna see hella Trump supporters, you gonna see hella Elon supporters, hella Biden supporters, hella. You're going to see all kinds of people. Because guess what? I don't judge them. Like some of the people try to judge, which not just me, just in general, the same people who judge and get mad at a take. I be wanting to tell them, do you know how many things I see on my followers and my listeners, how many things that is on everybody else's pages that I don't agree with? Do you think when I go to y'all pages, your people who disagree with a take here or something, I said here. Do you think if I go to your Pu, you don't think I'm gonna find all kind of shit that I disagree with that you posting, but that don't bother me. Like it, it it. I understand it. I actually am the type of person, I like different opinions. I like to see and hear what you may think, even if it's totally different of what I think. I guess I'm weird, but that's interesting to me. That's what life is all about. So I just had to open up with that y'all. I want to get too long winded on it, but it's, it's, it's just really just as much as I'm telling, talking about the people who do that, I'm actually really bigging up our community because we ain't like that. And that's why I love y'all to death. And that's why I get up my ass up every morning on time and, and load up this equipment and give y'all this my news and views every day. Because I appreciate the hell out of y'all. Because if I had to be dealing with a bunch of the people who just judge you on every. I couldn't even do this job. I couldn't even do the job. Because a lot of times people don't, they only see their side of it. They don't see your side and it gets annoying. And it's like, look, I wish I could agree. I wish we could agree on every take. I wish, I wish every day, every take, every. All the 5,000 takes I may have, I wish we all just agreed on. But that ain't the way life work. Like they say, all my family used to say, my uncle, you say, if you want fair, you better take your ass to a carnival because life ain't fair. So let's get into what the hell we got going on. So did y'all see John Claude Van Damme? We got John Claude Van Damme. We got. Young thug might be going back to jail. Mayor Adams done beat his case or they done dropped that case. And now Mayor Adams is going independent. It's just a mess, y'all. So let's, let's get into John Claude Van Dam first because I haven't seen him since back in the day. And the first thing he pops up, he got a freaky. He got something freaky going on. So, you know, we gotta talk about it today. Get into it. The flow show, no filter. So this comes from NDTV World. Actor John Claude Van Dam accepted sex with five women as a gift report. And this happened. These were five Romanian women. So let's see what, let's see what the article Talking about the 64 year old street fighter actor. Y'all remember Jean Claude Van Damme, right? I used to love karate and fighting movies and stuff. So I was a big John Claude Van Damme back in the day. And then I didn't even know guys could do a split. He was the first guy that I knew could do a split. I said, damn, I thought, I didn't Even know guys were capable of doing a split. But let's continue. So they say it was five Romanian women that were given to him and given to him as a gift that came from a criminal network led by morel bolia. The 64 year old Street Fighter actor is accused of accepting five Romanian women as a gift from a criminal network led by that same group. Romania. Romanian authorities have filed a complaint with the Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and terrorism alleging the 64 year old was aware the women were victims of human trafficking. The alleged incident. Now y'all remember there's another, the Tate brothers who got some sex trafficking, something going on over overseas, over in Romania or wherever. So I don't know what the hell going on over there, but it ain't good. During an event organized by Van Damme, one of the women later provided testimony about that and that's what led to the investigation. Attorney Adrian, who representing the victims, said this, and I quote, the women were in a state of vulnerability with clear indications of exploitation. He further said several Romanians under investigation for forming a criminal group and trafficking offered Jean Claude Van Damme five Romanian women. The recipient knew their condition, meaning they knew what was going on. And he willingly accepted. He willingly accepted sex for pay. Now I'm a pause right here. This is a perfect example. There are so many guys that get upset that I cover this, that I cover this type, these type of cases, because there is a group of guys, mostly guys, there's a few women, but there's a group who don't believe victims. So when you cover stuff like this, they get upset. So am I supposed to stop talking about it or does that group just have to relax, sit back and let me do my job? And I'm bringing that up because this group, there's different groups who don't want different things said. But no group is more important than the other group. And I want people to know that. So, you know, same thing, same thing that you, you might, you know, like that I cover or like that people cover or like that. People standing up for victims and then other things you might not like. But you just got to sit there because it ain't about. It's not about you, it's not about me. This is a cause. And so I'm gonna continue. It's the second high profile case from Romania after Andrew and Tristan Tate were arrested on sex trafficking charges in 2022 and only recently permitted to leave the country. So let's take it back. For those that might not know who John Claude Van Dam is he is a Belgian March martial artist, actor and filmmaker, best known for his action films like Blood Sport, Kickboxer, I like that movie, the Universal Soldier, I like that movie and others. He trained karate, known for kickboxing in Hollywood. And he is nicknamed the Muscles, from Brussels. He became a major actor back in the 90s and as a teenager competed in a lot of karate stuff. But Jean Claude Van Damme is one of those names that you just say the name, somebody know who he is. But I think, I don't know what's going on in Romania, but they obviously have a serious trafficking situation going on there. And we haven't had much details, but what they're saying is France has the final say. So as far as bringing charges, bringing more charges or whatever. So we're going to look out for that. But I think, I don't know, we might be looking at another, you know, Jean Claude Van Damme might be Jean Claude Van Diddy. We shall see. So that's a, that's definitely something I will be paying close attention to. Like I always say, it could be nothing or it could be something. We will find out. And then Eric Adams, Eric Adams situation has the whole Internet, especially the political world, in a uproar. The political world is mad as hell. First of all, I'm gonna tell you what happened. Mayor Adams, first of all, they dropped his, his corruption case. Y'all know he had a big case. Mayor Adams had a, a huge indictment. It happened right around the time with Diddy. He got caught up in the diddy world and it looked like his ass was grass. Well, apparently his ass ain't grass no more. Grass has been cut. We. This is coming out of the New York Post. Mayor New York City Mayor Eric Adams historic corruption case dismissed. Clearing the way for his second term campaign. Mayor Eric Adams corruption case got squashed Wednesday when a federal judge ruled tossing that they will toss it out and they don't, they say they don't, they don't want to hold grudges against Mayor Adams, whatever that means. So the judge dismissed this historic criminal case against Adams with prejudice, leaving him free to campaign for a second term without fearing that President Trump's Department of Justice will revive the charges. As I've said all along, this case should have never been brought and I did nothing wrong. According to Adams, they blasted, people have blasted the ruling, blasted the DOJ for seemingly taking the brazen step of pushing for the case to be tossed in exchange for Adams rolling out the White House aggressive immigration agenda. And so I'm gonna stop there real quick. So this is what people are off about. This is what everybody been arguing about. This what I'm seeing online, they I, there were a lot of people saying that Mayor Adams was, was, was going hard on the illegal immigration agenda for Trump and he was doing that so he could get out of his case. I think everybody saw that online and people were saying that for a long time. So now when this happens, it's started a shitstorm. So now they're coming out left and right. People are saying, I told you, people think it's foul. People are saying, like it just shows you if you are a politician or the elite, you can get away with anything. I'm going to continue with the article. Everything here smacks of a bargain dismissal of the indictment in exchange for immigration policy concessions. An anonymous source wrote in a 78 page. Of the 78 page ruling, the judge specifically ripped the DOJ for arguing that the bribery and fraud charges should be dismissed without prejudice, meaning the case could be revived after November's mayor, November's mayor. Mayor election. So they can't even bring it back up now. Now, on the flip side, this is what the people who are in support of this are saying. They are saying that the Democrats weaponized their own, weaponized against some of their own people who weren't falling in line. So they are saying that that's where these charges even came from. They said it was a witch hunt, witch hunt put on by the Democrats because Mayor Adams wasn't falling in line. This is what they're saying and this is what you're hearing. If you go online and now this is the argument, you just see both sides going crazy, going at each other. That proposed setup would create the, of, of unavoidable perception that the mayor's freedom depends on his ability to carry out the immigration enforcement priorities of the administration and that he might be more beholden to the demands of, of the federal government than to the wishes of his own constituents. Wow. Tossing the case for good ensures that good going forward. The charges in the indictment cannot be used as leverage over Mayor Adams or the City of New York. Adams, who pleaded not guilty and could have faced jail time if convicted, called the charges baseless and urged New Yorkers to turn the page. He held up a copy of FBI Director Cash Patel's book, Governments, Gangsters, the Deep State, the Truth and the Battle for Our Democracy, encouraging people to read it and understand how we can never allow this to happen to another innocent American. The mayor and the Trump administration had denied allegations and the Manhattan federal judges eagerly awaited. The decision followed a political firestorm ignited six weeks ago by the DOJ ordering prosecutors to drop the case on Adams. In moving to dismiss the charges, then Deputy Attorney General said the decision was not based on the strength of evidence, but rather the case was stopping him from properly governing the city and from helping with Trump's immigration plans. Both and current Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanch, both formerly Trump's criminal defense lawyers, claimed without providing evidence that the case was a politically motivated prosecution brought by then Manhattan U.S. attorney Damian Williams and appointee of former President George Joe Biden. To to be clear, the court again emphasizes that it does not express any opinion as to the merits of the case or whether the prosecution of Mayor Adams should move forward. The court notes only that is, it is, has no authority to require that it can continue ultimately because the decision to discontinue a prosecution belongs primarily to a political branch of government. It is the public's judgment and not this court's that truly matters. His ruling states, and leave it there. People are upset and, and, and some people are shocked. But that didn't shock them as much as this next move that Mayor Adams pulled. That surprised a lot of people. Mayor Adams took it a step further. Mayor Adams said, I'm about to run as an independent. As an independent. So what is he, what's going on with this Mayor Adams in this independent situation? Well, Mayor Adams is running no longer as a Democrat actually. He is going to, to change to independent. And you know, the Democrats are going through hell off on Mayor Adams right now. Everybody is saying like, oh, we, we called it, we knew that that's what, that was his plan the whole time. And it's just got people in an uproar. And it's getting to the point where as I'm looking on my timeline, people are really falling out of love with the, with, with, with the political situation like that. And what I mean by that is it's like people are losing trust. And I'm talking about both sides. I'm not talking about left or right, I'm just talking about in general. There's a lot of people who just, when you see stuff like this and you're on the outside looking in and you see a mayor of biggest city in the world, one of the biggest cities in the world, and you see him have these, these bribery charge, all these crazy charges and then they just go away. And to the common American, we know we, we get charged, they don't go away. If you're not an Elite, you get charged, you get brought to trial. There's no such thing as, well, we're gonna drop your case because you're busy. Basically, they were saying he was too, he, he needed, he was too busy and he needed more time to focus on being a mayor. So that was their reason for this, one of their reasons for dismissing it. And so we look in this other article where it says breaking news, and I'm talking about this literally just broke. I'm pretty sure a lot of you hadn't even heard this news yet. This is like literally breaking news. Mayor Adams ops out of Democratic primary, launches independent reelection bid. So what I can say before I get into this article, I can say that a lot of people that I listen to or follow that really go heavy into the political space and really go hard at talking about the political topics. They called all of this out. They were saying, like I said, that he was going to go hard on immigration for Trump, they were going to drop his charges and he was going to basically disown the Democratic Party. Now, they didn't say he was going to go independent, but I put two and two together and it kind of makes, you know, sense from, based on what they're saying. And damn it if it all didn't come true. So let's get into it. On the heels of a federal judge dropping, Mayor Eric Adams announced on Thursday that he would forego the Democratic Party and instead pursue an independent bid for re election. Today, Mayor Eric Adams officially declares his candidacy for re election as an independent candidate for the mayor. New Yorkers are strong and deserve strong leadership. The mayor said in a campaign video. There isn't a liberal or conservative way to fix New York. There is a right way or a wrong way. I've always put New York's people before politics and party and I always will. Adams move confirmed weeks of speculation. I had been hearing it for months, but weeks of speculation that he would take his chance in the general election rather than compete in a Democratic primary. He had increasingly little chance of winning. Recent polls have him with a 20% approval rating. This story is still developing. Now, this is in an example where when, when people get mad about, quote, unquote, conspiracy theories and, and, and they get mad at us for believing some of them or spreading some of them. But this is why. Now, this ain't my, you know, we, we, we, we, we talk about the bigger, bigger, huge, the big political situations, but, you know, we don't cover political stuff all day long on this show. But this is one where what Makes the conspiracy theorists or the people who, you know, kind of read the tea leaves these as an example of why we tend to believe them because they. They were dead on the money. And I'm sure y'all saw the same thing. I saw that people were saying everything that happened, except they didn't call out that he would go independent, but they did say he would disown the Democrats. They. I don't know if that was their way of saying he gonna go to independent, but they said that. They said that all of this was gonna happen. And then you look up, you look up and he went hard on the immigration Mayor Adams. Next thing you know, he is. Has his indictment dropped, as people have. Were predicting. And now he totally distances himself away from the Democrats and totally going independent. So this is one because I have political bloggers and YouTubers that I follow. This is one that they called out a long time ago. And this is why I follow the people that I do follow, because they know what they're talking about. And they called this one out. Like I said, if you go online, people are in an uproar. This independent announcement just happened. So today, I don't know when you, if you listen to this podcast, today is Thursday. You will see people arguing online about this. It's like a bloodbath. So check it out. Check it out. Mayor Adams charges dropped. Want you to know that. And also that he is running independent. And another thing, y'all been following the Menendez brothers situation. I ain't gonna get too much into it, but they gotta. They actually got a situation going on. The article says Menendez brother brothers accused DA of violating California's victims rights law amid their bid for freedom. So this, now this article is talking about the Menendez brothers bid for freedom. The attorneys for Eric and Lyle Menendez accused Los Angeles County District Attorney of violating California's victim rights law amid the brothers ongoing push for their release from prison. The remarks come after they announced last month that he's asking the court to withdraw the the motion for resentencing. In a motion submitted Tuesday, their lawyers said Victims Bills of Right act that the instead of championing the victim's family here, the motion to withdraw abandons them completely. The motion contends that the pr. The prison infractions that Hockman said made the brothers a possible danger to the public if released were mostly about 15 years old. Insisting that those infractions seem arcane and perhaps even quaint by today's standards. They include being in possession of a typewriter and a stationary and and stationary 27 years ago, improperly getting a pair of sneakers, spending too much time on the telephone and possession of a floppy disk with personal letters on it. None of the infractions, according to the motion, indicate rationally there's any danger. Huckman has argued that the brothers do not meet the standards for resentencing or rehabilitation because they persist in telling these lies for the last over 30 years about their self defense. I mean also said in the Office has identified 20 lies that they have told since the day of the murder and that the brothers have admitted to four of them, while there are 16 additional lies that they haven't acknowledged. The brothers are serving life without possibility of parole for the 1989 shotgun murders of their parents, Kitty and Jose Menendez. Menendez family members who want the brothers released have said the brothers endured horrific abuse, have admitted guilt and apologize and have pushed back against Huckman's insistence that the brothers weren't sexually abused with one cousin. Calling the district attorney's tone hostile, dismissive and patronizing, Huckman initially announced a move to withdraw the motion for resentencing on March 10, calling the brothers claims of self defense part of a litany of lies. Following the press briefing, Lyle Menendez posted on Facebook that all of those lies Hockman talked about, several of them were admitted in the first trial and several other lies were absolutely disproven or reasonably disputed. Hawkins predecessor George Gascon announced in October that he supported resentencing for the brothers, recommended their sentences of life without the possibility of parole be removed and said they should instead be sentenced for murder, which would be a sentence of 50 years to life. Because both brothers were under 26 at the time of the crimes, they will be eligible for parole immediately with the new sentence. Menendez brother case I remember that case like it was yesterday and to see that it's still going on, that just show you like time goes by. But issues, unresolved issues, they never leave. This is another case that I see a lot of people arguing and going back and forth about. I haven't been following it recently. I just remember it from back in the day. But you killed your parents. Ain't nothing worse than bringing your killers into the world. You, you, you brought your, the person who murdered you, you brought them into the world. That's just, just the craziest thing to me. So Menendez brothers, I don't know what's the outcome of this going to be, but I know a lot of people want they ass to still be rotten and then Some people say that they are abused and want to come out. So that's another case that I don't want to say we split down the middle, but damn near split down the middle because I see people on both sides arguing. But something else that just happened. That's crazy. Then y'all was following. This is one of the first. When we launched this podcast, one of the first stories, it was like maybe the second or third episode because it was a huge breaking news. We covered the Young Thug plea deal. Young Thug is a rapper. He was accused of all type of murder for hire type of things, drugs, RICO. The best way to put it is just a RICO. People thought he was gonna get 20, 30, 40 years, even life. And then as the case went on, it started unraveling and both sides agreed to a plea. Well, they trying to take that plea away and put Young Thug back in prison. Because of social media. Because of social media, he could lose his probation and possibly do 20 years or more. And this came from not only the Young Scooter situation that we talked about. And Young Thug has been very outspoken in saying that the cops shot the rapper Young Scooter and killed him. Where the cops are saying he hopped a offense and broke his leg and bled out. A lot of people in Atlanta not believing that. Young Thug has been very outspoken, but it's. It is. That's not even half of it. There's another reason why they trying to pull it. Pull this and put them back in. And y'all tell me what y'all think about this. But this is from Fox 5 Atlanta. This is going to be huge. They've already filed the motion. Young Thug could lose his probation deal. Here's what we know. Young Thug's probation could be revoked if the Fulton County District Attorney's office has its way. The rapper, whose legal name is Jeffrey Williams, is accused of violating his deal to end his involvement in the YSL RICO trial after a now deleted post to one of his social media accounts. Now, Young Thug who pleaded. Who pled guilty. October 31, 2024. That was the second day of our podcast. This podcast started October 30, 2024. October 31st was the huge breaking news of Young Thug we covered here. It was one of one of the most downloaded episodes. They were sentenced to probation with conditions including no contact with victims or their families. Prosecutors now alleged that he violated those terms by amplifying social media posts that targeted a key law enforcement witness. He talking about. They talking about the somebody in the DA's office. A woman Prosecutors have filed a motion to revoke the probation of Williams, alleging his social media activity endangered witnesses and public officials. Also, Young Thug posed a threat to the integrity of the judicial system. They are trying to lock them up and this is spearheaded by Fonny William well, Williams Willis, and this is what they're saying. In a filing submitted Wednesday in Fulton County Superior Court, the State of Georgia requested that Judge Whitaker immediately remand Williams into custody, arguing his continued freedom under probation presents a clear and present danger to the public safety and undermines the rule of law. The motion outlines a series of events, beginning with the preliminary gang murder hearing currently underway, in which Fulton County Investigator Maurice Marisa Viverito is testifying. The court had explicitly barred any video or photography of Viverito during her testimony. However, a social media user identified as a blogger posted the image with the caption, she doesn't want to be shown on screen. Well here she is. And then this is what sank Young Thug in this situation. On April Fool's Day, Williams, which is Young Thug, reposted the image on his social media account, adding, marissa is the biggest liar in the DA's office. That post went viral, reportedly garnering over 2 million views and prompting a flood of comments, including threats to Marissa and her family. Those social media posts were pulled now, according to the motion, the fallout escalated quickly. Marissa's home address and her parents home address were publicly posted, prosecutors wrote, citing one post that said if the hate is real, then pull up on her mama crib alongside a photo of her mother's house. She this went got out of control. Hours later, prosecutors say another post appeared threatening the life of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. One user wrote, will personally make sure Fani Willis is assassinated. So the thing is, you can't put all this on Young Thug. You can't all of this like the first part he retweeted something but like all of this now is just random people saying it, but they're trying to pin it all on Young Thug. The escalation from targeting a testifying witness to making direct death threats against the elected district attorney of Fulton county represents a grave and unprecedented attack on the justice system. The state argued that Williams, which is Young Thug's actions, are part of broader campaign of intimidation, harassment and misinformation designed to obstruct justice and silence those involved in the ongoing criminal proceedings. So all of this sparked, I believe, Young Thug's attorney told Young Thug, Young Thug, you need to post this immediately. And then Young Thug posted and I quote, I Don't make threats to people. I'm a good person. I would never condone anyone threatening, threatening anyone, or definitely participate in threatening anyone. I'm all about peace and love. Young Thug's attorney, Brian Steele, sent the following statement about the motion. The motion, and I quote, the motion, is baseless. While intimidation and threats of violence are never appropriate, Jeffrey Williams has done nothing wrong. We look forward to seeking a dismissal of this petition. Now, court documents reference additional attempts to manipulate public opinion, including social media references to Judge Whitaker as YSL Whitaker. Georgia law allows for the revocation of probation if a defendant engages in criminal conduct or actions that endanger public safety. Prosecutors emphasize that William's significant influence over people worldwide amplifies the danger posed by his action. Failure to act decisively will only encourage further attempts to threaten, harass, and intimidate those involved in this case. So what's coming up next? Prosecutors also requested that the court order Williams to reimburse law enforcement for the additional security measures taken in response to the threats. They are going hard, y'all. The integrity of this court and the safety of those involved in this pro prosecution are at stake. The state urges this court to take swift and decisive action by revoking the defendant's probation and remanding him into custody. Somebody gotta take Young Thug's phone. Somebody gotta take his phone. Everybody needs a me in their camp. That's what that. That's what this article shows me. Everybody needs a me in their camp. Because I would take Young Thug's phone, I'd be like, bruh, you know. You know I love you. You cool. But give me your damn phone, man. Cause they gonna lock your ass up. You gonna be doing 20 years, and you gonna be kicking yourself. Cause you're gonna be doing 20 years because you posting on Instagram or Twitter or X or whatever it's called. But on the other side, this is why the. Atlanta. Atlanta is just a wild place, man. It's the law enforcement and the public literally hate each other in Atlanta. One reason I, out of many reasons, I had to get the hell out of Atlanta. Just tired of the whole vibe. But Atlanta is a place where the. The public, the general public and the law enforcement literally hate each other. And so this is not only just because of that. They are mad about the young scooter situation. They are trying to put a muzzle on Young Thug. And when he was coming out and speaking, I was thinking to myself, like, I wonder, can they violate his probation for this? And literally the next day, you get an article talking about they have filed a motion to revoke his. Revoke his probation. We should have an update on that soon. Is Young Thug going down? We started this podcast reporting that Young Thug had got a probation on a case that many people thought was going to take him under. It was one of the most downloaded episodes and before we even got into 2025. Good, he might be going back. And on that note, I gotta thank the people that make this possible, the people that allow me and our community to come together and talk about whatever it is that's on our mind. We don't have to bend to no political party. We don't have to bend to no big corporation. We don't even have to bend to no celebrities. We don't have to kiss nobody's ass. We can say what we want to say and what we need to say. And the reason we are able to do that is because we are a subscription based podcast.

Host: Flo
Description: Real news! No spin! A truth-seeking podcast!
In the opening segment, Flo passionately addresses the growing polarization in society, emphasizing the need for mutual respect and understanding despite differing opinions. She urges listeners to move beyond judging others based on their political or religious views, advocating for a more mature and empathetic approach to disagreements.
Flo [00:10]: "We gotta stop being so butt hurt when somebody has a different difference of opinion. It's just getting out of control and out of hand."
Flo criticizes the tendency to label and alienate individuals based on divergent beliefs, highlighting the importance of embracing diverse experiences and perspectives.
Flo delves into the recent scandal involving actor Jean Claude Van Damme, who has been accused of accepting sex as a gift from a criminal network in Romania. This incident marks a significant turn for the famed martial artist, known for his action-packed films.
Flo [15:30]: "Jean Claude Van Damme might be Jean Claude Van Diddy. We shall see."
She details the allegations, noting that authorities have filed a complaint with the Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism. The accusations suggest that Van Damme was aware that the five Romanian women were victims of human trafficking, yet he accepted them as gifts.
Flo draws parallels to the earlier case involving the Tate brothers, underscoring a concerning pattern of high-profile individuals entangled in similar human trafficking charges.
Flo [18:45]: "This is a perfect example. There are so many guys that get upset that I cover this, that there is a group of guys... they just don't believe victims."
Flo underscores the importance of holding public figures accountable and the challenges faced when discussing sensitive topics like human trafficking.
A significant portion of the episode focuses on New York City's Mayor Eric Adams. Flo reports that Adams' major corruption case has been dismissed by a federal judge, effectively clearing the path for his reelection campaign.
Flo [32:10]: "Mayor Eric Adams corruption case got squashed Wednesday when a federal judge ruled tossing that they will toss it out."
She explains the controversy surrounding the dismissal, suggesting that the case's termination may have been influenced by political maneuvering, particularly related to immigration policies aligned with former President Trump's agenda.
Flo [34:25]: "Everything here smacks of a bargain dismissal of the indictment in exchange for immigration policy concessions."
Flo highlights the backlash from both political sides, illustrating the deep mistrust and frustration among constituents who perceive favoritism towards political elites.
In a surprising twist, Mayor Adams announced his decision to run for reelection as an independent candidate, distancing himself from the Democratic Party.
Flo [45:50]: "Mayor Eric Adams officially declares his candidacy for reelection as an independent candidate for the mayor."
Flo reflects on the broader implications of this move, noting how it resonates with conspiracy theories and predictions made by political analysts and bloggers.
Flo [48:15]: "They called all of this out. They were saying he was going to disown the Democrats. Now he totally distances himself away from the Democrats and going independent."
She discusses the potential impact on public trust and the perception of political fairness, emphasizing how such developments contribute to widespread disillusionment with the political system.
Flo shifts focus to the ongoing legal saga of the Menendez brothers, who were convicted for the 1989 murder of their parents. She covers the latest developments, including accusations against the Los Angeles County District Attorney for violating victim rights laws.
Flo [55:40]: "The Menendez brothers... accused DA of violating California's victims rights law amid their bid for freedom."
She outlines the brothers' efforts to withdraw their motion for resentencing, citing outdated and trivial prison infractions that do not justify their release.
Flo reflects on the enduring public fascination and controversy surrounding the case, acknowledging the polarized opinions that persist decades after the incident.
Flo [58:05]: "You killed your parents. Ain't nothing worse than bringing your killers into the world."
In the final major topic, Flo discusses the precarious legal situation of rapper Young Thug (Jeffrey Williams), whose probation could be revoked following controversial social media posts.
Flo [1:05:20]: "Young Thug could lose his probation deal because of social media. They could put him back in prison."
She details the allegations that Young Thug violated his probation by amplifying posts that threatened law enforcement officials, leading prosecutors to seek his re-incarceration.
Flo [1:07:30]: "Prosecutors argue his social media activity endangered witnesses and public officials."
Flo provides context on the tension between law enforcement and the public in Atlanta, suggesting that Young Thug's outspoken nature has exacerbated these conflicts.
Flo [1:10:15]: "Atlanta is a wild place where the public and law enforcement literally hate each other."
She emphasizes the broader implications for the judicial system and the challenges of maintaining probation terms in the age of social media influence.
