00:00:00.601 --> 00:00:02.388
Welcome to the Mick and Pat show.
00:00:02.388 --> 00:00:03.904
We're just getting started.
00:00:03.904 --> 00:00:08.170
This evening we're settling into the world headquarters.
00:00:08.170 --> 00:00:13.066
When did we start calling it that, I don't know.
00:00:13.066 --> 00:00:16.489
It just started coming out.
00:00:16.489 --> 00:00:21.545
I like to call it all sorts of things in my mind the Batcave.
00:00:21.545 --> 00:00:32.429
This is like the Batcave, but the Mick making pat worldwide headquarters and uh, yeah, we're glad you're with us tonight.
00:00:32.429 --> 00:00:39.502
I heard something this week that kind of I didn't know about and I was like, oh man, I need to tell the people about this because this is your factoid.
00:00:39.502 --> 00:00:45.054
It's a little factoid, a little little history lesson, and relates to stuff we talk about all the time.
00:00:45.054 --> 00:00:58.250
But so when you purchase, you know, a silencer, also known more correctly as a suppressor, you got to pay your $200 tax stamp.
00:00:58.250 --> 00:01:03.911
Do you know when and why that came into effect?
00:01:10.620 --> 00:01:12.045
Like roughly, when and why that came into effect like roughly?
00:01:12.045 --> 00:01:13.269
Uh well, I know it came into effect quite a minute ago.
00:01:13.289 --> 00:01:27.227
It was when 200 bucks was like a big chunk of change for sure, for sure, because it was in the mid-1930s, just post, just post prohibition, 200, $200 for this tax stamp, and the tax stamp was mostly.
00:01:27.227 --> 00:01:29.126
It wasn't even for suppressors then.
00:01:29.126 --> 00:01:32.936
No, well, it actually there were suppressors were there.
00:01:33.319 --> 00:01:34.623
There were suppressors then actually.
00:01:34.644 --> 00:01:39.203
So that's the surprising Suppressors got thrown on there, but what happened was, so far as people can tell, is one.
00:01:39.203 --> 00:02:02.969
The main things that were on there was machine guns, short-barreled shotguns and rifles and uh and suppressors, but pistols were on there oh really, and they got pulled and I think, after what people think is that, after all the craziness with prohibition, they were like don't do the pistols, like we cannot have this.
00:02:02.969 --> 00:02:08.722
You know this, this is gonna send the people into too much, you know, and so.
00:02:09.843 --> 00:02:16.485
So they took pistols off and then put suppressors in, and they were rudimentary at the time, super rudimentary at the time, but they did exist.
00:02:16.485 --> 00:02:22.443
And at the time, how much a machine gun cost in 1930?
00:02:23.847 --> 00:02:37.002
I swear I saw something in a catalog of like a thompson well 1930, not thompson machine gun, but I swear I saw a catalog image of like 1950s and a thompson machine gun was like 50.
00:02:37.042 --> 00:02:44.703
Yeah so yeah, like machine guns were 200 bucks about really kind of like but like, but mean, but at the same time too, like you could also.
00:02:44.703 --> 00:02:50.274
You know, back in the day you could get other guns for 50, 20, like that sort of stuff.
00:02:50.294 --> 00:03:01.344
You could go to home depot and buy yourself a thompson right not really home depot, but like your local hardware store, sure, so this tax stamp was the equivalent of a machine gun, which machine guns have gone off the rails the last few years.
00:03:01.344 --> 00:03:07.580
But but, uh, modern day equivalent for that tax stamp is four thousand five hundred dollars.
00:03:07.580 --> 00:03:14.199
So, um, at the time when they instated this, that put a lot of things out of reach for people.
00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:18.896
But also, um, anyways, I didn't know that was, uh, I didn't know that's.
00:03:18.896 --> 00:03:20.502
When it came around, I didn't know that it was.
00:03:20.502 --> 00:03:27.945
I didn't know that machine guns cost 200 and they basically it was just like 100 tax more or less on on your stuff.
00:03:27.945 --> 00:03:29.909
And so it's held true since then.
00:03:29.909 --> 00:03:44.734
But people have been trying to get some new laws passed for, uh, basically, hearing protection, things like that that you know, to get the suppressor off of the list, and I think it could happen someday I think it could happen soon.
00:03:45.181 --> 00:03:51.752
I think like we are closer now than we've ever been before, especially with like, the recent destabling of like.
00:03:51.752 --> 00:04:05.450
Uh, you know, there's that ruling very recently about machine guns not being nfa objects and so, like it's, there's a possibility in the machine guns come back on the menu.
00:04:06.032 --> 00:04:06.794
That's true for sure.
00:04:06.794 --> 00:04:14.872
And I think that the fact for the suppressor piece, the fact that, like in Europe, they're easy to get, they're so easy.
00:04:14.872 --> 00:04:15.655
They're so easy to get.
00:04:15.655 --> 00:04:17.927
Guns are really really really, really, really hard to get.
00:04:17.927 --> 00:04:20.605
Suppressors are easy to get, and so we'll see.
00:04:20.605 --> 00:04:32.266
We'll see if you get to save your 200 bucks someday on your cans, but anyways, I learned that this week, so hey, and I'm really glad they didn't do that with pistols.
00:04:33.149 --> 00:04:42.454
Yeah, can you imagine how different our world would be if we didn't have a gun constantly pointed at our wieners?
00:04:43.541 --> 00:04:49.201
My life would be different constantly pointed at our wieners, my life would be different.
00:04:49.221 --> 00:05:03.069
I'm like grandpa couldn't have afforded that, like that cool 38 special that he got for 50 bucks speaking of which, you know, I just kind of purchased, inherited some very nice firearms and I, I think I sent you the image or the video.
00:05:03.069 --> 00:05:07.055
I sent you a link to one of them that went on for auction.
00:05:07.375 --> 00:05:07.696
Oh yeah.
00:05:07.875 --> 00:05:26.533
Yep, it's a Steyr Manlicker Manlicker but it was originally made by the Steyr company, which the Steyr company made, like you know, die cast aluminum toys.
00:05:26.533 --> 00:05:29.410
They made you know all these kind of different household appliances and stuff.
00:05:29.410 --> 00:05:32.908
They really prided themselves on the rifles.
00:05:32.908 --> 00:05:34.322
They made A lot of their rifles.
00:05:34.322 --> 00:05:45.389
You know, their Steyr rifles were like what a lot of people you know were outfitted with going to war and then they got into like more of the boutique hunting post world war ii.
00:05:45.389 --> 00:05:51.607
And so this is a steyr man liquor with its og lupold scope.
00:05:51.607 --> 00:06:02.187
Oh wow, and it's that like simple 1950s, just skinny crosshair scope, no mills or anything on it.
00:06:02.187 --> 00:06:15.853
Um, it's in 30 out six, which is also super rare because most of them were made in like really obscure calibers not obscure obscure now, but at the time weren't obscure.
00:06:15.894 --> 00:06:34.622
You know they're common european calibers and it's got, uh, a flush wood stock up to the front sight and it's it's like one of those hunting rifles that has a front sight you know like built into it and like iron sights and the scope can like quick detach off of it.
00:06:34.824 --> 00:06:38.577
You know the scope's not like a screw down mounted super hardware thing.
00:06:38.577 --> 00:06:41.687
It's designed to be like taken off quickly to use the iron sights.
00:06:41.687 --> 00:06:43.951
So I was I'm really stoked about it.
00:06:43.951 --> 00:06:51.072
I got a really great deal on it, especially when I'm seeing them in the condition it's in with the original scope.
00:06:51.072 --> 00:07:01.242
I'm seeing them go for like three grand and so I'm like, damn bro, I got, I got a steal on this and it's kind of like you know a family friend who's passing it down to us.
00:07:01.242 --> 00:07:07.290
Uh, because you know they don't have anyone in their family who would really use it or appreciate it.
00:07:08.531 --> 00:07:12.521
So I'm pretty stoked about that yeah, this thing, this thing's slick looking.
00:07:12.783 --> 00:07:20.088
Yeah, isn't it slick doesn't it look like I'm about to like get in a bell tower and start just like taking out an army?
00:07:20.591 --> 00:07:37.341
and also what I like about this long, how the stock comes all the way up to the front, is the uh, you remember last the mohicans, you know the weapon that that dad had that long.
00:07:37.341 --> 00:07:39.985
Yeah, he had this long club with the knife point on the end of it.
00:07:39.985 --> 00:07:41.408
Yeah, something about this looks like that's just cuddly.
00:07:41.750 --> 00:07:42.350
Yeah, just looks, looks cool.
00:07:42.350 --> 00:07:42.992
Yeah, I like it.
00:07:42.992 --> 00:07:43.252
Well.
00:07:43.252 --> 00:07:46.961
The that's supposed to also make the barrel much more stable.
00:07:46.961 --> 00:07:57.673
You know, like most hunting rifles, their barrel uh is set into the stock, right, but the stock doesn't go all the way down, right.
00:07:57.673 --> 00:08:07.906
So you, so there's, like I did, this concept of like a barrel set all the way to the tip and wood is supposed to keep it from having more drift If you're firing.
00:08:07.906 --> 00:08:11.548
You know followup shots, which you know.
00:08:11.548 --> 00:08:17.612
I think it can definitely be used as a hunting rifle, but it seems to me like it's also like more of like a Mark spin ship rifle as well.
00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:20.228
But how heavy is it Um?
00:08:20.228 --> 00:08:26.105
I think somewhere I read it's like six or seven maybe yeah it I think somewhere I read it's like six or seven maybe.
00:08:26.146 --> 00:08:43.432
Yeah, it's pretty lightweight, that's pretty light then no, it's pretty lightweight and I think it's coming with the original strap and I bought that one and they're just like, yeah, he has this really nice vintage hunting knife that's well cared for and we're going to throw in his Ruger 270 with it and it's also got a scope.
00:08:43.432 --> 00:08:45.666
I'm like, yeah, throw it all in, baby.
00:08:45.666 --> 00:08:47.721
They're like they were calling me.
00:08:47.721 --> 00:08:55.388
They're like we don't want to send you junk though, like we have a bunch of 20 gauge, 12 gauge and 16 gauge shotgun like you have any use for that.
00:08:55.388 --> 00:09:05.956
I was like I will find a way to make use of that you know, if I have to, I'm sure I can really lighten up a buddy's day by giving them the coveted 16 gauge rounds.
00:09:06.076 --> 00:09:06.778
You know what I mean?
00:09:06.778 --> 00:09:07.419
Oh yeah.
00:09:07.580 --> 00:09:11.130
So but anyways, that's kind of my gun news.
00:09:11.220 --> 00:09:20.889
We went shooting and I did use the flux for a ton of drills and I had really good bag time and accuracy running it.
00:09:20.889 --> 00:09:37.548
Running it, I like did the hit factor scoring for how we were like scoring like our shot placements and like time, and I had like a with the flux.
00:09:37.548 --> 00:09:42.129
My first run was like a 1.9 hit factor, which isn't great.
00:09:42.129 --> 00:09:56.625
That's kind of it, kind of like you take your points and how many are in the A zone, in the C zone or D zone, or how many are misses, and then you add those up and then divide it by your time, right, that's how you get hit factor.
00:09:56.625 --> 00:10:01.144
So like a 1 hit factor means like you got 40 points in 40 seconds.
00:10:01.144 --> 00:10:02.581
Right, that would be a 1.
00:10:02.581 --> 00:10:04.763
That's not good, that's pretty poor.
00:10:05.886 --> 00:10:15.428
It's good for some people, I guess, right, but for like people like you and I who should be much more experienced and practiced, right, um, so the first one, I got like a one nine.
00:10:15.428 --> 00:10:25.254
Then I got it up to like a two, dot two, and I think I finished the day with my best score being like a 2.3, which was pretty good, I was pretty proud of.
00:10:25.254 --> 00:10:32.509
It was, like you know, 40 points and under 16 seconds.
00:10:32.509 --> 00:10:38.744
So it was pretty great, but our homie out there, you know old man john wick.
00:10:38.744 --> 00:10:42.409
He just, he's so fast, dude.
00:10:42.409 --> 00:10:43.912
Yeah, he's so fast he also.
00:10:43.912 --> 00:10:53.197
I mean, he shoots every weekend at usp, us pca yeah, he's been working a lot so, um, but he, uh dude, it's honestly crazy.
00:10:53.238 --> 00:11:01.946
I was like got ahead of him and I was like teasing him and kind of giving him a hard time and ribbing him and I was like come on, old man, let's see what you got.
00:11:03.049 --> 00:11:17.529
And then, bro, he pulled out his uh, his actual competition pistol like that he's actually running that event carry yeah, it's like a, it's like a full framed weighted like, uh, speed canik, yeah, and like the trigger roll on.
00:11:17.529 --> 00:11:36.677
It is like it's like a very short, maybe maybe two millimeter trigger break, you know, and it's it's like maybe two pounds, three pounds, and uh, bro, he just like I think he got 40 points in 13 seconds, which even.
00:11:36.677 --> 00:11:38.100
And he was like, yeah, that's not great.
00:11:38.100 --> 00:11:43.308
I'm like, okay, skunked me, bro, uh, but anyways.
00:11:43.308 --> 00:11:46.813
So, um, yeah, good shoot, good shoot weekend.
00:11:46.813 --> 00:11:48.341
Good shoot stuff.
00:11:48.341 --> 00:11:49.767
You'll be shooting this weekend.
00:11:49.907 --> 00:12:03.802
It's been a good week for guns oh yeah, um, but it's been not a great week for some people we got some news here yeah, um, and you know, I guess I was pretty actually aligned.
00:12:03.842 --> 00:12:12.705
I guess let's talk about the hurricane first, because I was in virginia last week for I got to go to a service, a memorial service at arlington, which was awesome.
00:12:12.705 --> 00:12:20.779
If you ever get the chance and you're invited to go with a family for that, that is one of the coolest things seeing them do the full service and you get.
00:12:20.779 --> 00:12:33.982
I got to be part of, like I got to drive a car in the actual, you know uh, caravan through the, through arlington, which is very, you know, you can't just drive into arlington, no, and so that was pretty sick.
00:12:33.982 --> 00:12:40.825
I got to be a part of that caravan and drive to the burial site and see where they were gonna, uh, you know where.
00:12:40.865 --> 00:13:07.328
The plot was already dug in his headstone, and then it was my wife's grandfather Well, her step grandfather, I guess, but, and then it was, he was a Marine too, so they had the Marines carry him in as pallbearers for, like, the ceremony in the church and then carried him back out to the hearse, and then we did the caravan and then carried him out of there to the tent where they did the flag fold and handed it to his wife.
00:13:08.400 --> 00:13:13.311
And those Marines are probably just losing the slickness.
00:13:13.591 --> 00:13:14.474
Oh yeah, they're squared away.
00:13:14.474 --> 00:13:24.323
I heard a lot of those guys are combat vets because they're hurt so they can't, or, like you know, they're medically not allowed to go back to combat.
00:13:24.323 --> 00:13:26.649
They're like they're, they're hurt so they can't, or, like you know, they're medically not allowed to go back to combat.
00:13:26.649 --> 00:13:34.207
But they're squared away so much that they like get you know the station of you know being pallbearers and stuff for, like arlington services like this.
00:13:34.207 --> 00:13:38.586
I mean all of them looked like strong marines, you know.
00:13:38.586 --> 00:13:40.032
I mean they're all pretty squared away.
00:13:40.312 --> 00:13:44.947
Um, but the 21 gun salute was pretty sick and it was raining.
00:13:44.947 --> 00:13:46.772
I felt like I was in a movie dude.
00:13:46.772 --> 00:13:53.642
Yeah, it was just like the perfect, like super low hanging cloud, overcast rain, and it was just a beautiful service.
00:13:53.642 --> 00:14:07.951
Um, but all that said, a lot of people were flipping about this hurricane coming up into florida and people were just like talking left and right and they're like they say it's unsurvivable, unsurvivable conditions.
00:14:07.951 --> 00:14:14.389
I was like I don't know man, I know quite a few homies down in florida who are not concerned one bit.
00:14:14.789 --> 00:15:12.708
Yeah, and it seems like though it kind of blew over and then up into other southern states that are not as equipped for hurricanes right, yeah, for sure, because there I mean, as far as I was seeing videos come out of, like, I mean there was, like you know, like florida man was just out in the streets like having fun running around like just being people just being being florida man out there, um, but yeah, the uh, um it came up an inland and the storm itself just ended up in the Appalachian Mountains and the place that's taken the brunt of it is North Carolina, because basically, when you have a ton of rainfall in Florida, it's so flat there have a ton of rainfall in florida, the you know it's so flat there.
00:15:13.049 --> 00:15:15.998
Um, the water level, um, I'd say this, when it rains a lot, the, you don't really notice the water level changing.
00:15:15.998 --> 00:15:20.179
Um, as much as now, when they get affected by hurricane, it's from the high winds and the storm itself.
00:15:20.179 --> 00:16:00.899
But what appears to have happened in north carolina is that the um, uh, basically, because of where the storm hit those mountains, it just it's the flooding from it that just washed out these cities, uh, highways and people kind of back in those mountain areas where there's kind of only one way in, one way out type stuff and those, and so they're dealing with a lot of stranded people, landslides, and I think it's 190 people have been confirmed to have passed away, most people outside of Katrina in the past 55 years on that one.
00:16:01.000 --> 00:16:07.251
So we'll see as things come out around their recovery there.
00:16:07.251 --> 00:16:15.206
But lots of the pictures coming out yeah, there are lots of infrastructure just completely destroyed not just damaged, but just gone for those roads and stuff.
00:16:15.206 --> 00:16:28.412
So lots of support has been coming in there from I know you know there's, you know, government agencies, national Guard people getting involved but then also like just tons of volunteers who have been kind of flocking to here to get.
00:16:28.412 --> 00:16:44.774
The biggest thing right now is the people are stranded, needing water and food and getting their power back up and things like that, because the power outages are affecting, it says, millions of people with uh needing to get those back up.
00:16:44.774 --> 00:16:53.528
And so the one of my guys who works for me he's, he just flew out there and he's going to uh volunteer for the next week and kind of see what's going on.
00:16:53.528 --> 00:17:26.407
So I think when he comes back going to ask him about you know what it was like there Cause, yeah, the, you know the, the hurricane itself, as far as making landfall, really didn't do much damage and people did pass away in Florida as well, but the brunt of it definitely was up in North Carolina and South Carolina, and these cities are like 500 miles inland, which that's what's crazy too is to be like 500 miles inland and getting whacked by a storm like that.
00:17:26.448 --> 00:17:26.949
So we'll see.
00:17:26.949 --> 00:17:29.032
Well, I'm going to have him report back and see.
00:17:29.032 --> 00:17:33.490
You know what it was like there, what it's, you know what was the conditions, what did he see?
00:17:33.490 --> 00:17:39.686
And you know there's been a lot of people talking about government aid not coming in, these sorts of things and lots of that's.
00:17:39.686 --> 00:17:43.191
I think just some kind of politicizing, saber-rattling stuff.
00:17:43.191 --> 00:17:50.490
But we'll have some boots on the ground and see what he has to say about it, because it would be interesting to know firsthand what people are seeing out there.
00:17:51.099 --> 00:17:54.769
And is he like he's out in North Carolina or something?
00:17:55.050 --> 00:18:05.630
Yep, yep, because he went to school out there and so he's got friends and connections out there and so he flew out there to go volunteer and help where he can.
00:18:05.630 --> 00:18:15.153
So we'll see if he gets into some of these sites, because the airport in Asheville was closed for a while but now it is open to backup, so I think he was able to get in there.
00:18:16.016 --> 00:18:16.376
Gotcha.
00:18:16.376 --> 00:18:17.800
Yeah, it's pretty crazy.
00:18:17.800 --> 00:18:38.169
I mean, yeah, I kind of thought people were blown out of proportion from what I heard, Like the news was blown out of proportion from what I heard from people down in Florida and then now what you were just talking about and reading off from how brutal the flooding is and looking at some of these images it's pretty intense.
00:18:38.169 --> 00:18:49.469
I don't feel like a lot of these communities are used to that kind of torrential weather just because of how far inland it is.
00:18:49.469 --> 00:18:55.991
I remember I've been to the Smokies man and I don't imagine most of those communities get that kind of rain.
00:18:55.991 --> 00:19:00.607
Well, they get it over the course of a year, not all at once.
00:19:00.607 --> 00:19:01.089
You know what I mean.
00:19:01.089 --> 00:19:02.548
Right, right for sure.
00:19:03.537 --> 00:19:03.900
For sure.
00:19:03.900 --> 00:19:11.930
So, yeah, we'll see what, uh, we'll see what uh he says and yeah, it looks like there's a lot of mud to be moved.
00:19:12.089 --> 00:19:16.405
It is uh, I feel like we're used to seeing that kind of stuff more on the west coast.
00:19:16.546 --> 00:19:22.785
You know, california slide, mudslide type stuff yeah, yeah, I think part of it was these people inland just got caught.
00:19:22.785 --> 00:19:56.238
You know they're not in an evacuation zone, not having to worry about this thing, and then you know, so they, they got caught, um not ready for this sort of thing, their infrastructure is not suited to handle these sorts of things, but, man, it's sad, it's obviously said, the loss of life and you know, and there's still lots of people missing, um, as far as recovery goes for this, the um, or you know, or rebuilding man, these rivers and highways are just blown out and the, the rivers and stuff that are so pretty and even like the big, the big Thompson here that flooded a few years back, like it just looks horrible.
00:19:57.571 --> 00:19:58.455
You still think it looks bad.
00:19:58.589 --> 00:20:00.037
I think it still looks bad when you drive up there.
00:20:00.037 --> 00:20:05.337
I think they've done a ton to repair the sediment they have, but it's just not what it was.
00:20:05.337 --> 00:20:07.873
I don't remember what it was beforehand.
00:20:07.873 --> 00:20:15.483
So these beautiful little rivers and the Smokies are going to be interesting to see what they look like in a few years as well.
00:20:19.550 --> 00:20:20.633
Yeah, that flooding does do some crazy stuff.
00:20:20.633 --> 00:20:30.576
I remember seeing the photos come out after the water kind of got controlled and just the sediment being up to the top of people's roofs Like whole houses buried.
00:20:30.576 --> 00:20:35.237
That was unreal to me here, yeah, in a relatively small flood.
00:20:35.416 --> 00:20:39.691
Yeah, I mean it was a in comparison to like a hurricane raining on you.
00:20:39.691 --> 00:20:41.458
For sure, yeah, it's.
00:20:41.458 --> 00:20:48.236
It's crazy how much you know stuff starts getting moved around when that happens I'll tell you what else.
00:20:48.676 --> 00:20:50.019
Uh, who's not having a great day?
00:20:50.019 --> 00:20:53.644
Diddy.
00:20:54.682 --> 00:20:55.230
No kidding.
00:20:57.275 --> 00:20:59.721
I sent you this video but it was Asmongold.
00:20:59.721 --> 00:21:06.559
For those who don't know who Asmongold is, it's spelled A-S-M-O-N-G-O-L-D.
00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:18.541
He's just a streamer, you know, take it or leave it, whatever, but he's just honestly always streaming and all he does on his streams is react to videos.
00:21:18.541 --> 00:21:30.583
I'm not a huge fan of the guy, but I really do appreciate that he has pretty much non-political or agenda takes.
00:21:30.583 --> 00:21:41.058
He's just usually watching stuff that people in his chat tell him to watch and he's like oh, wow, you know he's kind of reacting to it with his chat, but he's never like making a, you know.
00:21:41.058 --> 00:21:47.897
I mean, he does, I guess, make some longer form videos, but most of the time he's just like commenting briefly, pausing the video and then resuming it.
00:21:47.897 --> 00:21:52.651
Right and so, um, but he's so fast, he's faster than the news.
00:21:52.790 --> 00:21:56.299
He's who I heard, uh, that Trump was getting shot at, like.
00:21:56.299 --> 00:22:04.451
He was the first person I saw actually reacting to it and had a video on YouTube before any news media did, and that was live.
00:22:04.451 --> 00:22:05.211
You know what I mean?
00:22:05.211 --> 00:22:27.694
Um, and so, anyways, I saw today he was the first person I saw to react or upload, uh this Texas attorney's um address of the case, uh, against Diddy, or cases, um, this attorney is based out of Texas, uh, in his law firm I guess he can practice.
00:22:27.694 --> 00:22:39.874
Uh, he's an attorney known uh by the name of I just have his last name here something Busby, you see it anywhere?
00:22:39.874 --> 00:22:41.499
Tony Busby.
00:22:41.519 --> 00:22:41.960
Tony Busby.
00:22:45.250 --> 00:23:02.993
But yeah, so he held his press conference and he started like pretty much just going into all the details, uh, that he could disclose essentially about the cases that he is, his office is taking up, um, and he is.
00:23:02.993 --> 00:23:18.458
Apparently they received 3 000 reports of people stating that they were victims of Sean Combs, sean Diddy Combs, but that they only took 120 of them.
00:23:18.738 --> 00:23:28.179
Because a little background, if people don't know he was old P Diddy was arrested on September 16th.
00:23:28.179 --> 00:23:32.925
For what they it was a federal law enforcement wrapped him up and it was.
00:23:32.925 --> 00:23:44.020
They were charging him with racketeering, conspiracy, sex trafficking and basically prostitution transportation to engage in prostitution.
00:23:44.020 --> 00:24:00.361
It had been a month-long investigation into him, and so that was kind of what first broke and he got arrested a semi unsurprising thing to like have a celebrity or somebody.
00:24:00.361 --> 00:24:00.842
I wasn't.
00:24:00.882 --> 00:24:11.990
I wasn't shocked that he got hit with sex trafficking you know so many of these celebrities do pimp someone out right, right, yeah, yeah, or even yeah, like racketeering, sexual, it seems like it comes with the like.
00:24:11.990 --> 00:24:13.233
You know you want to.
00:24:13.233 --> 00:24:14.336
You know you want to be a.
00:24:14.336 --> 00:24:17.811
You know big shot, big shot, you want to be a gangster.
00:24:17.811 --> 00:24:19.055
This is the.
00:24:19.055 --> 00:24:21.760
You know al capone, racketeering.
00:24:21.760 --> 00:24:22.383
You know what I mean.
00:24:22.383 --> 00:24:24.433
Yeah, gangster, right, you want to be gangster.
00:24:24.433 --> 00:24:27.220
You know you got girls, you got crimes.
00:24:27.220 --> 00:24:31.781
So that's kind of the unsurprising piece of this when he was arrested.
00:24:31.781 --> 00:24:38.701
But now, since he was arrested, this is you know, all these things starting to not just kind of spill out.
00:24:38.701 --> 00:24:47.594
They're like like land sliding in and it's like you were saying, uh, three thousand, over three thousand people, yeah, and then how many have?
00:24:47.594 --> 00:24:51.563
Uh, how many people are this is this law firm taking on?
00:24:51.971 --> 00:25:24.880
Yeah, so they said that they're representing 120 cases so far They've taken them on and they will be individual cases because of the different locations and suspects that have been claimed to be taking part in what was going on.
00:25:24.880 --> 00:25:27.250
So essentially, apparently what really seemed to be happening is that Diddy was doing the Epstein thing.
00:25:27.250 --> 00:25:35.314
Diddy was sexually trafficking not just minors, but you know like not just normal people, but sexually trafficking not just minors, but you know like not just normal people, but also a lot of minors.
00:25:35.314 --> 00:25:53.542
Um, and there was, uh, repeated incidences of people who came forward willing to testify and wanting to be represented by busby's law firm, um, saying that, like diddy would promise them a record contract or record deal and promise it to their parents.
00:25:53.542 --> 00:25:57.578
And so then these kids went with Diddy.
00:25:57.578 --> 00:26:04.320
Diddy would give them what is known as a horse tranquilizer, which almost all of these people tested positive for in their police reports.
00:26:04.631 --> 00:26:06.136
Yeah, and all these separate stories.
00:26:06.470 --> 00:26:08.900
They all had the same fucking tranquilizer.
00:26:09.130 --> 00:26:10.171
Yeah, these same drugs in there.
00:26:10.171 --> 00:26:20.642
They all had the same fucking tranquilizer, these same drugs in there, and the story always went that they were offered a drink and or really forced or, like you know, really pressured to have the drink and then tested positive for these drugs.
00:26:21.122 --> 00:26:25.246
And then they all, and the reason they would get tested is because they wouldn't remember anything.
00:26:25.246 --> 00:27:05.994
And they go to the police the next day and the police would do a full biopsy and the doctors would do a biopsy on them and they would have like serious pain and from, you know pardon our french here but rectal and vaginal like penetration, and essentially some of them were conscious enough, and just like drugged enough, that they reported, you know lucidly, being conscious while they were just being passed around from person to person to have sex with, um again like, and they were in a state of mind where, like, they were aware of what was happening but they couldn't consent in any way, shape or form right, right, and it's, uh, none of these 120.
00:27:06.055 --> 00:27:17.436
It's 60 males, 60 females yep, and I think they said at least 30 of them are still currently minors yeah, or because at the time of the was it at the time?
00:27:17.478 --> 00:27:25.460
yeah, okay, um, and so, like all that said, like it is honestly egregious what is going on here.
00:27:25.460 --> 00:27:51.497
Like you know this, I totally just blew it off originally when I heard the charges of like dude they got caught buying a prostitute and dodging taxes like so many other people do, or he was actually pimping people out and they caught him pimping them out and being a part of that organization and I guess I just didn't think it was going to be Epstein level stuff, but the law firm.
00:27:51.497 --> 00:27:58.670
The reason again I want to emphasize is the reason they're doing these cases separately, because usually what you would see is like something along the lines of like Bill Cosby.
00:27:58.670 --> 00:28:11.544
Bill Cosby had 40 people overall come forward with credible testimony that he sexually assaulted them, drugged them with a drink and raped them, or sexually assaulted them through pressure and stuff for the industry.
00:28:11.544 --> 00:28:24.005
Those were all bundled into one case and he got a charge and sentencing based off of all those different incidents and cases and testimony.
00:28:24.005 --> 00:28:29.481
And they're not doing that with Diddy, because how many other people were here?
00:28:29.481 --> 00:28:41.275
And the quote is that Sean Diddy Combs is just one of the many powerful people that Busby will be pressing charges and revealing.
00:28:41.275 --> 00:28:49.096
And apparently they have the list and the reason they're not disclosing it right now is because, of course, never tell your enemy what you're doing or what you plan to do.
00:28:49.096 --> 00:28:54.150
But he says we will expose the enablers who enabled this conduct behind closed doors.
00:28:54.150 --> 00:28:56.939
We will pursue this matter, no matter who the evidence implicates.
00:28:58.371 --> 00:29:01.339
And apparently the list is already insane and they don't.
00:29:01.339 --> 00:29:04.380
They're very careful because these people are not just celebrities.
00:29:04.380 --> 00:29:23.451
A lot of them are like massive commercial real estate owners who would essentially commercial real estate owners, who would, essentially they didn't take part in actually the sex act, but they were paid off and fully aware of what Diddy was selling in these places and the parties he was holding.
00:29:23.451 --> 00:29:26.957
He would call them quote unquote puppy parties.
00:29:26.957 --> 00:29:35.650
Uh, it was an opportunity to pass a minor around, um, and so it's absolute.
00:29:35.650 --> 00:29:40.561
I mean, it's unreal to me but, like you know, the, the, the law firm is going for those people too.
00:29:40.561 --> 00:29:55.038
Right, the law firm's like dude, you're not off the list here, and because of that, and how diverse each instance might be from one to the other and they can't all be grouped under one, because of how many people could be indicted and charged, they're doing them one at a time.
00:29:55.038 --> 00:30:04.452
And, um, I mean it's a big ass law firm though, like I looked up, uh, where you know his law firm busby law firm is the name of the law firm right, it's not small.
00:30:04.452 --> 00:30:09.751
So, like they certainly have the resources to do this right and take this case load on.
00:30:09.751 --> 00:30:16.758
Um, he said the day will come when we will name names other than sean combs and there's a lot of names.
00:30:18.723 --> 00:30:21.391
The alleged youngest victim was nine years old.
00:30:21.391 --> 00:30:31.250
Um, he, as mr combs legal team has emphasized, he cannot address every meritless allegation.
