‘These people are demons’: Day 1 of the Diddy trial has exposed rap culture



Rap mogul and Bad Boy Records founder Sean “Diddy” Combs’ trial has finally begun.

The rapper has pleaded not guilty to one count of racketeering conspiracy; two counts of sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion; and two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.

“Opening statements from both the prosecution and the defense, some testimony from two, I believe, male strippers/escorts. It was pretty salacious,” Jason Whitlock of “Jason Whitlock Harmony” comments.

While the trial and its contents thus far have been disturbing, Whitlock believes it exposes not just Diddy, but rap culture in general.


“My first and initial takeaway is that this society that we’ve built, where entertainers — and particularly in the rap music world — but in the music industry in general, we shower millions upon millions of dollars on entertainers, and there’s a level of power that comes along with showering that much money on entertainers,” he explains.

“And this is the issue with showering all this great wealth on athletes and entertainers. We’re not showering it on scientists and inventors and doctors and people that contribute,” he continues. “We’re showering it on people that entertain. And so now they spend all their time trying to entertain themselves — a lot of times sexually.”

“And so none of this is surprising,” he says. “And when you build a particular form of music that’s based off of prison culture and prison values, what do you think they’re going to do with all this money and power you’ve handed over to them?”

They’re not going to use that money and power to build homes for the poor or serve their communities.

“No, they’re going to use their money to buy gold chains, to buy sex slaves, and to host lavish drug-filled drunken parties,” Whitlock says.

“Anybody that wants to deny the wickedness, the evilness, the debauchery, the depravity, the nihilism of this music and the people that they’re putting up as, ‘Hey, take these people seriously. These are your leaders,’” he continues. “These are criminals, unrepentant criminals, and they’re degenerates.”

“They’ve normalized a behavior that’s demonic, and just following the early parts of this trial and what comes out of it, it just reconfirms in my mind, these people need to be called demons. That’s what they are,” he adds.

White House official addresses criticism of Trump's ‘big, beautiful bill’



President Donald Trump has promised Americans he’ll be teaming up with congressional Republicans to pass a “big, beautiful bill” that’s chock full of campaign promises.

Of those campaign promises, “no tax on tips,” “no tax on overtime,” and major spending cuts stand out. However, the bill’s progress is dragging on — and the country is beginning to wonder what’s really going on.

Russell Vought, Trump’s director of the Office of Management and Budget, has some answers.

“I want to talk to you about the Republicans, because I believe they’re kind of a waste of space. They are not doing the things that I think the president promised, and that is, cut the budget and cut regulation in dramatic ways,” Glenn Beck tells Vought on “The Glenn Beck Program.”


“We’re working through it right now. The House, they’re trying to meet their instructions. They basically passed a budget that would have $1.5 trillion in savings and about $4.5 trillion in tax relief, and they are working through to get a bill that can pass,” Vought explains.

“So when are we expecting this to be voted on and possibly go through?” Glenn asks.

“My hope is next week that they pass it out of committee, the two big committees of ways and means and energy and commerce, and then go to budget and set up a vote thereafter on the house floor. That’s our hope, that’s what we’re working towards,” Vought says.

“We’re going to move as much as we can within the parameters of the law and the Constitution, we’re going to move as fast and aggressively as possible to change the reality on the ground with reductions in force, with reorganizations, with doing programmatic review of spending that doesn’t have to go out through the use of recisions,” he continues.

“There’s a whole set of tools in our box that we’re going to use aggressively to get Congress moving in our direction, because we cannot be in a normal situation as an administration where we just kind of send bills up and wait on them,” he adds.

Jordon Hudson just doing her job? Cowherd DEFENDS infamous age-gap couple



The recent CBS interview with Bill Belichick, where his 24-year-old girlfriend Jordon Hudson interrupted to steer the conversation, has been the subject of some serious controversy the past couple of weeks — but one sports commentator is standing by Belichick’s side.

Colin Cowherd recently defended the couple on his show, “The Herd,” where he admitted that the interview was “cringy” but explained that Hudson is just doing her job.

“She’s his PR director. She’s Bill’s influencer, which he didn’t need in the NFL, but you actually do in college. I thought this was kind of a cringy thing, but she is multiple things for Bill. Assistant, girlfriend, social media producer, PR handler. She fills a lot of roles, and people are kind of uncomfortable with it,” Cowherd said.


“Sometimes in life, you don’t have to wear a headset to call plays. She’s calling plays for Bill, which he didn’t need in the NFL, but he actually does in college football where players now select you,” he continued.

“As I watched this interview, I thought, ‘Oh, I’ve watched interviews like this, CEOs have people like Jordon Hudson.’ You know, presidents, politicians, senators, governors, media execs, they all have people like Jordon Hudson,’” he added.

Jason Whitlock of “Fearless” isn’t quite on the same page.

“I’ve seen it, too, and Monica Lewinsky was not a PR director, she was an intern,” Whitlock says, adding, “Colin left out a description here of her, you know, one of her titles is concubine, I believe. And so he left that out.”

“Yeah, this may be his worst take since the ‘party of joy,’” BlazeTV contributor Steve Kim chimes in. “If she was just in the background, and we never really saw her, I don’t think most people would even care about this anymore.”

“The issue becomes, or is becoming, that she is becoming more and more of an influence, and it just looks kind of strange,” he adds.

Pot, meet kettle: Is Letitia James guilty of the EXACT SAME fraud she went after Trump for?



Criminal charges were being looked into regarding Letitia James' allegedly fraudulent real estate deals — but now the investigation is official.

The FBI and U.S. attorney in Albany have launched a criminal investigation into the mortgage fraud claims against the New York attorney general.

The investigation follows a request that the DOJ investigate Letitia James, sent by Federal Housing Finance Agency Director William Pulte. Pulte claims that James falsified records to get favorable loans on a home she purchased in 2023 in Virginia and a Brooklyn apartment James has owned since 2001.

“I mean, this is just chef’s kiss-type stuff,” Sara Gonzales of “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered” comments. “If these were her primary residences, then she should not have qualified to be New York attorney general, because of the rules for New York attorney general.”


“So which one is it, Tish, did you sign up to be New York attorney general under false pretenses, or did you try to sign a deal and lied to get a more favorable loan? Which one is it, because, either way, you’re a scumbag,” she continues, adding, “It couldn’t happen to a more deserving person.”

James accused President Trump of committing a similar act, although in his case, neither she nor anyone else could name a victim.

“We need a flowchart of all of the Trump indictments, all of the Trump legal trouble, because of all the lawfare that was waged against him, but she filed a civil lawsuit, just as a refresher, in September 2022 against President Trump, the Trump Organization, his three eldest children, alleging widespread fraud by inflating the value of real estate to secure, look at that, favorable loans and tax benefits,” Gonzales explains.

“So the thing that she accused President Trump of, she was doing the whole time,” she continues, adding, “Isn’t that interesting?”

'Disgusting': Did DC outlet take BRIBES for positive coverage?



An alarming development from the depths of the media swamp has been brought to light by UnHerd’s Emily Jashinsky, who dropped a bombshell this week: Leaked documents expose Punchbowl News for offering corporations “editorial influence” — for the right price.

Jashinsky posted a brief overview of the expose on X, writing: “Breaking Points got ahold of a leaked pitch deck from Punchbowl News. The document reveals how they allow corporations to buy influence over editorial decisions.”

“WH told us several subscriptions were canceled by the Trump admin as well. We also have their numbers: They’ve charged corporate sponsors $210,000 for a week of email ads. You can see the pricing sheet, with subscriber numbers and open rates below,” Jashinsky continued.


Christopher Bedford, Blaze Media’s D.C. correspondent and senior editor for politics, isn’t surprised in the slightest.

“It’s the new journalism, same as the old journalism,” Bedford tells Matthew Peterson and Jill Savage on “Blaze News Tonight.”

“Punchbowl are essentially unregistered lobbyists,” he continues. “If Punchbowl was good at its job, then corporations wouldn’t actually need to hire lobbyists, they would be able to read that newsletter, maybe pay a premium.”

“What they often do, they push these different issues, advocacy things, they push their agenda, they spread Capitol Hill gossip, which is, you know, fun, but not necessarily that helpful, and they create all these false cliffs and these false deadlines,” he adds.

But that’s not all.

“Their reporting has been suffering,” Bedford explains. “Pedaling influence, selling influence, it’s kind of the game. And for so much of Washington, it’s really disgusting.”

Black fatigue BREAKS the internet — and it was only a matter of time



The term “black fatigue” has recently taken the internet by storm, and Jason Whitlock of “Fearless” saw it coming from a decade away.

“It is the antithesis, it is the yin to the yang of Black Lives Matter. It’s white people boldly expressing their fatigue with black people,” Whitlock explains, adding, “This was inevitable.”

“That’s why I spent so much time during the whole Black Lives Matter psyop, about a decade, saying, ‘This is crazy, Black Lives Matter is going to create a boomerang effect, it’s going to harden hearts,’” he continues.


The trending phrase is often accompanied in posts on social media by videos of black people behaving violently and dysfunctionally.

“There’s an endless parade of these videos, and they’re all about black fatigue. Like, ‘I’m tired of black folks.’ Black folks have raised their hand and volunteered to be the enemies of white people and to be the people that want to cast white people as the worst thing on the planet, and eventually people’s patience has worn out,” Whitlock says.

And people like Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) are only making it worse, which she couldn’t have done a better job of on one of her latest podcast appearances.

“I mean, I’m not gonna say that, like, a left-leaning person cannot be violent, ‘cause that would be crazy to say that somebody can’t be, but baby, baby, y’all got the white supremacist galore. OK, like all of them, you got the Proud Boys, you got the neo-Nazis, you have people that literally should be classified as domestic terrorists,” Crockett said in her falsified accent.

“Because a lot of times that is what they are doing, they are engaging in domestic terrorism. And guess what? They all align with your side, including the KKK,” Crockett continued, adding, “Inherently, in like who you are, y’all are violent.”

“This is so illogical,” Whitlock says, tired. “The KKK, started by the Democratic Party, she’s blaming on Republicans and conservatives.”

“She’s a congresswoman, and she’s presenting herself in this super ghetto fashion,” he continues, asking, “If you’re not fatigued by Jasmine Crockett, what planet are you living on?”
