[Assistant] No, for sure, like, and I don't even believe in God, but the older I get, the more that I can really, really see the value of things like religion, because it's kind of like when you're young, you're so focused on your friends and your passions and the shit that you're really interested in. And then I think as you get older, you start to realize, well,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You kind of cycle through friends to a certain degree, like, you know, as you get older, a lot of times the person that you were friends with that you really cared about 10 years ago doesn't matter as much. You start to realize that working on the music, yes, it's fulfilling and everything, but like for me, there's a part of me that craves just real human interaction that isn't


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I see that in the church thing, that even if it's not always like that, cause I'm sure there's all kinds of superficial bullshit that happens when people go to church, but at least it's an attempt at bringing people together through something that's pure. Right, for sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Same. My mom used to always try to explain that to me as a kid. And I remember I thought I was so smart because I had the best argument. She'd say, well, you know, when your father went to prison, like the people at that church were the only ones who held me down and made me feel like I was safe and cared for and stuff like that. And I used to say, well, you could have got that feeling from people at the bowling alley. And I thought that was such a good argument.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] God damn. It's bruff, right? But it's true, cause it's just like any group in the people could offer you solace at a hard time. Yeah. She probably didn't really appreciate it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you appreciate your family more now as you get older as well?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You might wanna stay in touch with them so you can keep, you know, a friendship going or whatever, but it's just so hard to like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So dope. If I was less busy, I feel like she's the kind of person that I might hit up once a week, be like, yo, how you doing? But I don't have those kinds of relationships because I'm so wrapped up in this business shit. Do you feel like that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And a lot of those people too, like, I know YG, and I think YG's incredible, but it's like, I know he's busy as fuck, I'm not trying to bother him or nothing, but you know that that's the kind of person that if he all, like, one of these days, YG ain't gonna be around, and you're gonna be thinking, damn, like, did I actually put in enough effort that I could have to really have appreciated that person while they were around?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not like he's gonna be gone tomorrow, but that's how it is. But whenever somebody's gone, don't you end up thinking, fuck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wish I, no, okay, I'm sorry. Don't you end up thinking like, damn, I didn't, I could have appreciated their existence a lot more while they were here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But do you ever think about that? You ever think like maybe I'm gonna just intentionally accept less offers to go do stuff, accept less shows and just really let my life just slow down a lot and just really appreciate things or do you feel like if you do that you're gonna get left behind?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I always think about that and how it's gonna happen, but it didn't, it doesn't usually happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They just trot back and forth with their high heels. The way you reacted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you talk about the corporate gigs versus like the real shows, like do you have that feeling of like when you play a show to a thousand people that it feels super intimate and passionate and exciting and then if you play a show to ten thousand people that it feels like a little bit less


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Intimate, it might be cool because you can see a fucking huge crowd going crazy, but when you play the smaller shows, you kind of get a more intimate experience. Do you have that issue with doing like corporate shows versus your shows?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What was that, the Uzi video where you did it at that hardcore show?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How'd you feel about the love that you got from that fan base? Like was it exciting?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But they're not even thinking of it as fashion. They're just really wearing some ratty vest that they sewed all these different patches and pins on, but they're not thinking of it in the, like you're looking at it from a fashion perspective of like, wow, that would look appropriate on like a runway or some cool ass new company's line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're just like, that to them is just like, oh, I want to let everybody know what bands I like. So I got a bunch of patches on this jacket.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause they came out of like a weird sex punk type shop. Exactly. That's how he was meeting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they were on some wild shit. I feel like when I saw that video, it was just cool because I could tell that the people, like I could tell it wasn't just a bunch of extras hired to be in the video and that it was actual fans. Nah, those were real people who were missing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were just excited as fuck cause like a lot of times, you know, nowadays people will maybe like wear a punk band shirt or some shit, but they don't really fully embrace that culture. And I think that when you look at that culture, it's really not that different from rap. It might be more abrasive. They got a different style, different attitude about certain things, but it's like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, I feel like they were appreciative of you sorta putting on for them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the same way that like, you know, you could appreciate, uh, you know, the characters from a movie or like, you know, like you could appreciate a video game based on a movie and then not really care about the movie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's okay, cause it's like, realistically the art is just as big a part of the band in itself. How much-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause I felt like that 100% when I was a kid cause I would be going to the skate shop to buy like BMX brand shirts and then I'd be thinking like I'm gonna be going to school, I'm like 14, I'd be thinking like I'm gonna go to school and like I can't even 180 I'm gonna be wearing this shirt or people are gonna be giving me a hard time and they would.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, the rules have just changed a lot, you know, like in the sense that, I mean, I know so many rappers that I see them wearing Slayer shirts and I know they ain't never heard Slayer. But part of me is kind of like, bro, I would like to, I would like if you just had to sit down for like 45 minutes and just listen to some Slayer and then just report back to me and tell me what you think about it because I'm very curious to know what you would think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, for sure. Definitely. Uhm, so do you think a lot about, like, the visuals attached to your stuff? Like, when you think about your overall career, how important are aesthetics? Because we're talking about how, like, with Pink Floyd, you could appreciate it without even necessarily caring about the music that much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it would be so weird to, cause I was listening to somebody have that conversation the other day and they were like, I would like to listen to Young Thug in the way that every night when Young Thug records six songs, I just get to listen to him. And I'm like, I don't think you actually want to listen to Young Thug.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like if you could just hear it every night and not have to wait and then get the 10 songs every six months or however often a rapper chooses to drop. Like could you imagine if there was like a... You'll get tired of, you'll get tired of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't want to hear the drafts, basically. It's like, you want to hear the 10 best Asap Ferg songs at the end of that year that he came up with, not the fucking five songs that he fucked around and experimented with every night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You got that song, what's it called? Lemos and Hummers? Bro, you got like a Fallout boy type voice going at some point on that. When you hit like a completely different voice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's just like a different style of using your voice there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. So when you have these songs that are from four years old though, who brings them back to the forefront? Like do you have somebody on your team that is like, yo, I really think this one might fit on the project or do you have it still floating in the back of your head?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I asked for questions from the audience, you know, who responded as, uh, Bodega Bams, he said, when are we gonna put out our tape? LOL.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what I want to ask him? I want to ask him how, cause he did a song with 6ix9ine way back in the day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Didn't know anybody and just ended up doing that. I would just love to hear the story because I bet there's some weird shit there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh wow. But you've been through so many gen- like you were the hot noob rap crew, like you were like the noob.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you ever just sit back and have been like, I can't believe that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm still like, like that shit is still working and that the game has gotten so wild, but that, you know, that just that your appeal has been able to, to last for, cause you know, you've been like a real rap for like what, seven years? Maybe seven.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You guys were that for New York, cause I feel like those, like the same thing that was happening with Odd Future in LA, it just so happened that you had like, you had the fucking white girl mob up in the bay, you had ASAP in New York, you even had like other, there was other people in New York too, you had Action Bronson popping off, all these kind of dudes who were just completely,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Doing shit that, when you look at how many years we had of sort of just straight up gangster rappers, it was just a whole new thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like early ASAP controversies, the girl mouthing the N-word in the Rocky video, the white girl. Like even just Rocky having like white tall ass models in his video and shit. People were like, whoa, like that's fucking crazy. That's a whole conversation. And then you look at the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Six, seven years later. Everybody's doing it, normally. And there's just so much more ridiculous shit going on that it's like if you were to do one of those things it might not necessarily get as much attention because you do have insane face tattoos and hair dye.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I remember I left New York 2010 and then I didn't come back until like maybe 2013 and all of a sudden I come back and I'm seeing dudes who look like they're like selling drugs on the corner but they got sweatpants with leather pockets all over them and shit. Sweatpants with leather pockets? Or with the drop crotch pants and shit, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It happened so fast that like the average guy in Brooklyn was just all of a sudden rocking some shit that three years before motherfuckers would not have gone near.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the, that's the new generation of everybody just trying to go viral and everybody is super aware of what might go viral.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At this point, that's almost like the appropriate reaction to a lot of the craziness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, when I asked for questions from the audience, somebody pointed me to this old meme that I hadn't thought about in a really long time, but it's basically, it was, I think this was like very early in your career, and, oh no, it was about the time your second album came out, and this guy tweeted, ASAP Ferg announces the name of his forthcoming album, and you just responded, second.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm glad we get that story. But hey, I don't think there's anything to be embarrassed about. It's just a funny, a funny memory.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of people wanted to know about the Raider Clan brawl that you were allegedly involved in, because we've had multiple people sort of give versions of it on the story that were from the other side, but we've never heard somebody who was actually there describe it at all from your side.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you, do you look back at SGPs career and be like, damn, like he could have been, could have been great. No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. I think I just, a lot of fans out there that just wish that they could.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Live out an alternate reality in which SGP had sorta like remained in the ASAP universe and made music with you guys in those early days and stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was doing something totally different that really when you look at a lot of stuff now that's popular in the underground stuff, it's totally like, sort of stuff that was born out of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, the other thing that a lot of fans really want me to ask you about is that, that time that you... You're taking me back to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Old school shit. That's what I think No Jumper's for, is we gotta ask you about stuff that like nobody on the radio shows would ever ask you about. Uhm, what about the day that you and Gucci got into it on Twitter back in the day?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the airport, that's funny. Cause you could totally be at the airport by yourself. You know, like you might not go anywhere else, but you feel safe in the airport.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow, that's so crazy because you know that that was Gucci trippin' like at a point where he was not in the right state of mind because the Gucci that we all know and love.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Would never go beef with some new hot rapper, like he would never like start a beef over some little shit because he, I think he knows his role and he knows that he's supposed to be this elder statesman in the game and that people don't want to see him just talking shit to a young dude.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's things he said at that time period that I still wonder if they were true. I'm not gonna repeat them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's so shocking when you're reading the book because he keeps fucking up so many times. You read it? Yeah. But he keeps fucking up his life so many times and he keeps like saying that he's gonna get better and then something happens and he starts getting fucked up again and blah blah blah blah. It happens so many times in the book before he finally


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he had never left the United States until like a year ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow. His whole career because he was always on papers. Yeaah, that's crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That actually made me genuinely like extremely happy. Like seeing him just travel in the world and finally get to live.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Appreciate you coming in man, this was really good. Oh man, this was really good. Why is the album so short?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or EP, alright? EP. I listened to it like five times today because it's so short that it just keeps replaying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's probably, because maybe if it was so long, you wouldn't listen to it five times. That's true. I listened to it in the gym today a couple times and uh, various normies were coming up to me and being like, I like this shit. What is this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's like YouTuber rappers basically who like, the only time you really pay attention was when they just dropped that one YouTube video, it's a dope video, and they don't even need a project.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like her cause she got such a different look and different style. Different angle. Totally different angle on what it is to be a woman.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I got nothing against girls who like show a lot of their body and stuff. I think that's totally understandable. Oh, we love that too. If we had that, we would do that, you know? Yeah. But I mean, it's just dope to see girls like as the shit develops that could really like go inside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll be doing the same thing, you know? Fendi. You think you're ever gonna get to that point? You're gonna get so into the working out shit and you're gonna just start posting fucking shirtless pics and shit?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But to go full Gucci Mane and really be like chicken and broccoli for like, he must have just, I don't know how the hell he did that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he inspires me too because I've watched his Instagram story and seen him hopping into the McLaren at like seven o'clock in the morning by himself leaving the gym.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You gotta try, if you wanna like, really live that healthy life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's why I'm so addicted to, I wake up and I just eat eggs, drink coffee and then go to the gym and work my ass off. And I feel like when I start the day like that, it gives me so much energy to take on the rest of the day and make positive choices about like what I eat, what I do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've been through a lot of years in my life where I justified eating bad by working out and now I'm finally like eating really good and working out and I can say that I probably should have just been doing this for a long time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what I just realized? I gotta, I gotta say this. I was trying to wrap the interview up, but I gotta say this. You ever have the problem where you get in your car and your car just auto plays the same song every fucking time you get in your car?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My car does that, because it's like, I don't know why, but it'll just always auto play the first song under a in my phone library. Oh yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every single time I get in my car, PUT IN WORK!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Put him in the dirt. But it's a chopped and screwed version. I don't know why. I don't know how this ended up on my fucking phone. But it's like, and I always like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Always liked that song. Always appreciated that song. Never really thought about it that much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm at the point where I feel like I need to just add some random song to my iTunes library so that it won't, cause, and then every time I have to think about it, and today actually, when I was going on my way to listen to your first album, I heard that song at regular speed for the first time in a long time and it sounded like fucking Looney Tunes music cause it sounded so fast to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I get tons of pocket dials. I got a pocket dial from YG the other day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's crazy. It hurts. You're like, oh, so you don't want to talk to me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait, what? Wait, wait, wait, who? What? That's Adrian?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, alright, I'm lovin' it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Between 14 and 16 hour days. And when would you go home?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would go home, uh, when I was ready to collapse. Other people refused to do, uh, overtime and all of a sudden, uhm, their reviews were negative and they were fired. I lived away from home for almost three months, uh, helping get the game done. I didn't see my friends, my family for a while, although, uhm, I was allowed some conjugal visits.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is it true? Did the Lord Chancellor fight by Arthur's side?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is the legend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With grave upset by a new contagion. The Rebellion!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As long as its campaign of anarchy and terror is allowed to continue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No one is immune from the Rebels influence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This order has long appreciated Supercivil's counsel, but the current disruption calls for caution and concerted effort, not rash action.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We scour the district in pairs. Isabelle, you and Lafayette take the high street from the south end. Galahad and I will move in from the north.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just like an id thing, you know, like ego taking over, like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, I-I think so. I don't fucking know when people have, regardless.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep. Whatever, man. He made him sound good, though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes I like to root around in the news crawl space for the unread magazines, the old camp t-shirts, and the broken light brights that no longer spark joy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Meanwhile! Meanwhile, Heels and Nation!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you're lucky, you get bats. The only thing I've ever seen in Spirit Airlines is raccoons. That's right. Meanwhile, a dog shelter here in New York City says that an adorable puppy with a mustache


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And whoever ends up adopting, uh, Dolly, the name of the dog here, I just have one request. Please dress her up like a little saloon owner. Okay? This is not...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But hey, getting people to consume your product in the shower is a whole new profit avenue. And other brands are already getting on board. Jim?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, like when we wake up in the morning, we don't, we don't hit each other up to like see what we doing. What we do is wake up and take care of our kids, you feel me? So it's like just growing up, you feel me, just doing different shit. That's definitely true.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nah, hell yeaah. That whole, uhm, what was the last fucking, uh, tape you dropped right before you got locked up?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yea, but he made that in like two weeks. Right, and it was damn hard. So imagine if he was out, you know what I mean? He'd be making some crazy ass shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I gotta go check that out. Yeah, everybody was getting lost. That was a hard ass song.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Currency, man, when we made that song, uhm, last year in Hawaii, our first trip to Hawaii, once the beat played, I was like, phew, I can hear currency on this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, no. So what happened is I heard, I was like, I can hear currency on this, but we've never spoke to currency ever. So come, uh, Rollin' Loud in LA that year, last year, he, he reached out, like, after a set, and he was like, yo, I saw y'all set. He's like, y'all hard as fuck. He's like, y'all the only, like, young niggas I listen to for real.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I, and it's crazy cause I'm like, this is exactly what I said, what's gonna happen, you feel me? Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, really, I feel like, uh, even me and Phoenix are starting to do, like, just like you said, like, I go do my shit, he go do his shit, so that's what it comes down to, you feel me? Right. Like, Rob had his whole, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Solo project before we even dropped on him, you feel me? So that was just how it worked, like everyone just started doing their own shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What about Warhol? How'd he end up on the project? He's the homie. Yeah, he the homie, but what we do, we invite him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not really fans, it's just like when you search up the name of someone talking shit, you just like repost them and yo fans will just get on their head.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You guys just had fun with it. It's funny because someone would like genuinely mean some shit like be talking shit about us and I'll just repost them and it's like a thousand people talking shit to them so I know that they mad as fuck. I love cyberbullying. I'm at home kicking it and I know people just in their inbox just threatening to fucking kill them or something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really? Yea. This is straight spectator.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I really was supposed to only do twelve, thirteen months, but I ended up getting caught going live.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, like on some like disobeying direct orders or some shit. So that gave me, that ended up giving me six extra months. So I had to go through that little shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You just kicking now, but then whoever new come in and if niggas is trapping on you or whatever, then you just squabble them, whatever, then it's whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, more people like fuck with me or whatever the case may be. I don't know. I felt like it just, I just feel like that was just for me just being gone for so long. I feel like people starting to miss me like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, like jail and prison really, that shit made me like, see life, kinda like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I really, I had a lot of time to think, you feel me? Like, think about certain shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's why I'm really like starting to like be like on my music heavy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they do have a artist. It made people wanna look at you again, even though, like, you ain't even purposely put it out, but fuck it. Shit, leaking is definitely lit, I don't care. Shout out to all the leakers. If I had leakers leaking my shit, I'd be happy. But then again, I'd be tight, cause I ain't making no money off of the album sales.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, it's cool, but at the same time, when somebody drops it, it just kind of fucks up your whole plan. But, since this shit went up to the top, you know, it's kind of a, a gift and a curse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That morning the wind cranked up and, you know, you're kind of waiting like what's coming next.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was multiple fires burning for at least a week? Probably more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It didn't matter if we had a thousand fire engines lined up on the ridge that day, this was going to have it. Everything lined up perfectly that day for this to have it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you know what's goin' on, rollin' out, Mego Gang, Wyrm, you know what I'm sayin', Street Runners, checkin' in, the hardest 14-year-old in the game, man, no cap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Listen, we've got enough clout right now for one major bill, not both. What do you want me to push forward?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you want to be the president who cured cancer or the president who solved world hunger?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't like the idea of us sitting around. Shouldn't we be picking up Matt? The kid could be in trouble. Keith, you gotta relax.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Same thing. Don't run this, Keith.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you two finished yet? Keith? Have you been watching the whole time? Yeah. And I'm just throwing this out there. I think there's only a passing similarity between the two.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How many more need to die before we realize that the time has come for us to put aside our pride and focus not on division, but unity. Does Ziniak have a strong personality? Absolutely. But then again, so did the previous president. And you know what? When I look at the two of them, I see more similarities and differences. Both have proven leadership experience. Both maintain their composure in high pressure situations. Both have a love of Jane Austen. But most importantly, both of them will not stop until they get what they want.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ladies and gentlemen of America, the threat is right in front of us. An alien presence has taken over your friends and family. It's everyone you know, everyone you see. Nobody can be trusted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Keith? I think you got some unresolved issues. You don't know what happened, kid. Now come on, we've gotta save Kinsey. Wish we could call Roddy for help. No one calls Roddy for help. He shows up where he's needed most. Let's go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you. Both of you. Of course. You be careful now. Both of you. Oh, and to chronicle your travels, he will accompany you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, last tower's going down. Oh, I don't think it should be that easy for you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think treason only matters if you have a planet on which to be tried.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think you're drastically underestimating how dangerous the mind of a super spy can be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kenzie? It's not you she's worried about. It's everyone else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know what to say. I'm, I'm happy. I, uh, how can I help but be happy? It's, uhm, I get to do something I love to do. Act. And, uh, people appreciate what I do. I get paid for it. And, uh, so thank you very much. Thank you to the fans. Take care.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There have been five more events following Meridian. It's 11 colonies. I need a means to stop this now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's because they haven't heard my great idea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wonder. Have the Covenant been coming through with them? Stands to reason. Any ships caught in the slip space bubble would be pulled through.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As you wish. Fight to your heart's content.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're better off without that wretched boy. Now think no more of him and come with me. I'll help you find what you're searching for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We need all seven princesses of heart to open the final door. Any fewer is useless.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The heartless consume the careless.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now I'll grant you a marvelous gift. The power to control the heartless.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what happens now to the plastic we used to ship to China?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not much. A lot of it's just piling up here in the states. A lot of plastic comes to recyclers like Bagaria all mixed together. Impossible to separate cost-effectively. Cities across the country are now re-examining whether their recycling programs are going to waste. Is it better for people to recycle wrong or not at all? It's better for people not to recycle at all.

[Assistant] Gloria, lovingly known to us on the show as Mother, has almost single-handedly changed soaps forever, making it a force to be reckoned with by an industry that used to stub their noses at us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mountainous environments are living laboratories to study environmental change.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What we're finding in mountainous environments is that species from plants to animals to insects are actually rising in elevation and adapting to these thermal niches. We're trying to understand how climate change is impacting them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm leading a biology team to perform a comprehensive biodiversity survey of the Khumbu Valley.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What we're doing up here is trying to understand what species are living up in these extreme environments.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By having our researchers go up higher to survey for things like plants, rodents, and insects, comparing it to historical data from previous expeditions can give us a lot of information about whether we can actually define how quickly these species are already moving upwards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's great working with Anton as a partner because he can step back and look at it from a more holistic understanding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When we come up here to do our visual encounter surveys, we'll pick a piece of habitat that looks really good for species. The soil will be well developed, will be plants. We'll turn over rocks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When we find something, we'll collect the animal in a plastic tube so we can photograph and measure it and document it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When we get back to the lab, we'll do analysis combined with reaching out to local experts like entomologists and botanists to be able to identify all the species at the taxonomic level.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What we're trying to do is gather as much information as possible to really understand how can we adapt to climate change? How can people adapt to living up here? How are species adapting?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As scientists, we want to provide the impetus so that these studies can continue on for years to come.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, let's see now, the nominees are Kevin Dobson, Nots Landing, Margaret Ladd, Falcon Crest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you, David Jacobs and Michael Feilerman, who we love and adore. Our executive producers, who are our friends and the best in the business.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This season, my favorite player is Yang Bo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he didn't make it to the finals. I'm very sorry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Huh?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Zhou Qi Mo always encouraged me. He said, Yang Bo, you have to keep going. I have faith in you. If you can't do this style, I can too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Liu Huan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No need to wait, there's no turning back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every year, I see so many Marathon competitions. What kind of mood is this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually, although many people, many actors have been eliminated, but in fact, they have been following us all the way to the finals. Let me explain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Today's topic is humor with you through 4 seasons. Speaking of 4 seasons, let's not forget to talk about mobile phones.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 我发现就现在很多人在手机上啊,就已经精神移民了。


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 你看很多人在微信上 他那个地址 他绝对不写国内。 他会写一个非常遥远的地方,比如冰岛。


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't understand what's the point of writing on the island. Is it possible for them to give you social security?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, uh, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I found that Siri's mouth is really too hard. Too hard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was a time when it was raining outside. I asked Siri, how is the weather today?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why do you say that? I have evidence. I have evidence. Once I questioned him. I said, Siri, are you secretly chatting with other Siri?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So uhm, uh, uh, uh, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I need your attention. This is a serious matter. Everything we do is a serious matter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have no illusions. It will be dangerous. Come. Take a walk. The nurses are waiting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I needn't remind you the consequences for failure. Loyalty is a sensitive subject for us. Trust is such a valued commodity in today's world. So once again, I ask you, do you stand with Mobius?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're losing focus, kid. I warned you about that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ruvik knows you're here. He's feeding off you. But there are more important problems. That detective.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He doesn't suspect anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What is it you plan on doing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Open yourself to the darkness. That is all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The keyhole is now complete. You have served your purpose, but now it's over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He sought a way to cross over into other worlds, and he opened his heart to darkness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your voice can no longer reach him where he is. His heart belongs again to darkness. All worlds begin in darkness. And all so end.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The heart is no different. Darkness sprouts within it. It grows, consumes it. Such is its nature.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the end, every heart returns to the darkness whence it came. You see, darkness is the heart's true essence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you have come this far, and still you understand nothing. Every light must fade, every heart return to darkness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Within it lies the heart of all worlds. Kingdom Hearts!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm down! My armor's jammed up!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Spartans, I'm coming to you now. Got it, Maki. Spartans, clear the shipmaster and landing zone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're working on it, Maki. I'll notify you when we're ready for extraction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Spartan Jameson Lock, USC. Captain Lassie sends his greetings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It sounds like someone maybe once again wants to be ladybug or have a miraculous or something and maybe their kuma is literally


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, some miraculous copycat type of thing again. I don't know. I feel like we already did that. So that'd be weird to do it again, but you never know. So we'll see what happens, but I'm excited to watch. Uh, please remember to support the official release of Miraculous either on Netflix or Disney Plus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not mad at Chloe for actually being upset. Like, Marinette Ladybug should have talked to her sooner. Like, way sooner than this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel bad for her, I do, like she doesn't understand. That's just it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I mean, they're kids. I get it. It is a little silly, but I'm okay with that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'll need me again at some point and I'll be here. That's all she meant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so we saw a senti monster again, uhm, a muck? Is what they're like called?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's interesting, and my euro is there again, which, also crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm really liking how this season is shaping out. Uhm, I know a couple people kinda got a little...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't wanna say mad at me, but upset because I said I was kinda...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Disappointed we didn't see more of, uh, Laila.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'm loving it. I love, love, love, love, love, love it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I'm so, so glad they are. I'm also glad that, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mayura is getting more time as well in the show?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought maybe it might kinda be like the season 2 thing where they just don't use them to like the finale?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But no, they're here, they're intricate into our story, they are just like, assisting, you know? Uh, doing all those things, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I really, really like it. I'm enjoying the season so far. Uhm, maybe this because Luca had love confession and stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But uhm, I'm liking this season. It's very interesting. I like that we're having the other, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Miraculous users come in and being involved in these things. Having allies is really cool. I'm glad that it's being used.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm also very glad for the fact of we are addressing the fact that Chloe, you know, her identity as Queen Bee is known to everybody.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which can make her target, yes her dad is a mayor so she has like great protection so like, technically she would be fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Out there and she's like putting herself out there, even turning on a beacon. It's like, mm, honey nose. Stop. Like we can't do this. Like, is that okay? So I'm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Interested to see where the season will go. I know we are just barely hitting like a, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 35% of the way through the season-ish.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm interested to see kind of what else will happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because it seems like we're making some progress on the Lukanetti, and it seems like Kagami's very, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or is that something for like next season that we're just gonna set up for a while? I'm not sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, we are watching them in production code order, so my plan is, uhm, we're gonna watch another singular episode next week, and then I believe we're gonna do a double episode.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't remember what they are, but I think one's like a Christmas episode, so we're just gonna slap them together, I think. I think that's my plan? I believe so. Uhm, cause I have a wedding this weekend, so it won't really have like a lot of extra time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To, uhm, edit down that before next Tuesday. So it's just another singular episode and then double episode after that. So, make sure you know that. Um, but yeaah, I'm...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm very very interested to, um, see just what will happen with the story.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause it seemed like from Marinette Ladybug's perspective that this was pretty finite that we probably weren't gonna ask her again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's possible we could if we're in a pinch like-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's no reason why we shouldn't use her again. She just shouldn't be, you know, Raina Rouge or...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Caprice is like, ehh, we just can't call her as much as we do for them. Which is sad, cause I think Chloe...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She is capable and she did show today, in this episode I should say, she did show her dedication.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is pretty admirable if you ask me. To be able to fight off like the negative feelings and like turn down Hawk Moth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And be like, no, like Ladybug believes in me. Ladybug will use me when she wants me. I, I can wait. Like, I don't need your power. I wanna be queen bee. Like, I'm Ladybug's friend. I'll do this. Which, I'm...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Y'all know me, I've been pretty back and forth on Chloe, like pretty on the Chloe hate train for quite a long time. But I-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me phrase that a bit differently. I'm on the Chloe hatred, but I also really admire Chloe's character because she's capable of growing and changing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's not this just like, I'm a brat, I'm a brat. It's I'm a brat because that's all I know. This is how I get things, this is how I get attention, this is how I grew up, this is just who I am, and it's very hard to change that. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cuz then, I mean, we have so many other miraculous, we have so many other miraculous in our arsenal, so we don't really need to use Chloe anymore. Like, we don't. And I hate saying the word use, it sounds wrong. We don't need to have that miraculous out and about anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since we have so many other ones, it's just finding new people to trust with them and give them back to us, which I feel like most people


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm gonna guess our classmates will probably be the ones who get them. I think most of them are pretty okay people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Has the whole class been- yea, Julika got akumatized, so I think the whole class has got akumatized? Right? I'm trying to think if I can even imagine anybody who's in our class that hasn't been.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I think everybody has, so everyone has had like a positive experience with Ladybug, so I think most of them kinda get the gist of like, I'm helping you save the day, yes, and I will give it back. I think everyone would be chill with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, Chloe's the only one that's like, mm, besides Lila. But we don't count her as a classmate. She's just there, okay? We could never give Lila one, like, ever. Like, that's just not happening.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Plus, you want the Fox Miraculous, and that's all he has, so. Sorry, it's already taken.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'm excited to continue watching and see what happens. So thank you guys so much. Please remember if you like this video to like, share, subscribe, all that fun jazz and I'll see you all later.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're closing in on one of our lionesses, which we hope to color tonight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which direction? How is it, sir? We're going past. Great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You may actually see something on the critical.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait, what do you say? Apogee? I think that's our location.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Looks like a map of Apogee Station. At least down inside the mountains.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, my name is John Hamasaki. I'm a criminal defense lawyer. I'm based in San Francisco. Uh, this is the first, uh, real case I've dealt with in LA and, and, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've learned a lot about the Los Angeles criminal justice system and policing and prosecutors down here, which has been, uh, horrifying, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is a, that's a fair statement. This is a very LA case and I've gotten a, uh, uh, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] L.A. for dummies over the two months of the trial this summer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where it was another case where prosecutors were prosecuting somebody, uhm, based in part on their hip hop lyrics, uhm, really focusing on it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Peace and an LA Times piece actually that discussed that case. Uh, and so I got a lot more involved in, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I got to know sort of a community of academics, advocates, artists that were all


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, saw this issue happening, saw it unfolding in our, in our court system, saw the way it was being used to, um, target, harass and, and prosecute and imprison young black artists primarily. Um, and so, uh, there's, uh, a, what was the description for Jeff Weiss?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, so, uh, Jeff was following the case. I think Jeff was one of the people who early on really appreciated Draco's talent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, right, and so he wasn't one of the people who was just kind of like, hey, jump on the, you know, Draco kind of movement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so he kind of saw what was happening, uh, and saw that Draco was just getting, um, abused by the, the, the LA court system, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And realized they needed somebody who had experience in these type of issues and had experience, uhm, with the prosecution of rappers, uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so he reached out to one of the academics, a guy named Eric Nielsen, who's a professor at the University of Richmond. Uhm, and Eric and I have known each other since back, uhm, from that case about four or five years ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he said, hey, if it's in California, you know, you gotta talk to John.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And at first I was just gonna consult with a lawyer that was working on the case and try to help him out. And then, uhm, it became apparent that, uh, my presence here would be of benefit. Okay. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well no, he was actually there, and he didn't know, uhm, the shooters. Oh, okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But just, just to be clear, and that's all, that's all been, uhm, public, he's never hidden from that, uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so there was, they were hanging out and a group of people just kind of, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think the term used was parking lot pimping and, uh, some people who had disagreements with another person, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] About certain things, uh, had guns and shot them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, no, that, that was the famous, um, RJ conspiracy theory. Right. Right. Which I think you've probably heard about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, absolutely. I mean, it was, it was, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They really believe, I don't know if I want to say believed in that, but that's the theory they pushed. Uhm, you know, anybody, and this is, you know, some of the things I've learned about LA and LA culture and parties down here, this was not some party that RJ would be at, right? This was a,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, low-key janky kind of party in a warehouse with, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not that many people, like, it's just like not, it's not, it wasn't credible, it wasn't reasonable, it wasn't logical, there was no reason RJ would be there, but that was a way they could bring him into the case.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And tie him to the shooting and say he was there with this group of people that were really there to kill RJ even though RJ was never going to be there and then they killed somebody else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so what happened is, uhm, at the time, Draco had a pretty, uh, flashy Mercedes that people knew, uhm, and people saw him leave after the shooting, and people were like, oh, there goes Draco's car.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, Draco did it because he's obviously the big name of anybody at this party. Right. And so that's, that's how the rumor started. And then, uhm, the detective essentially gets the name and starts watching music videos.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but I would, I would, uh, you know, I think...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, kind of looking back at hip-hop and rap historically, uhm, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The one thing the prosecutors and the police were not able to do is accept that a young black man who grew up in South Central, like Draco,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nobody in the real world, uhm, outside of the prosecution team,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, who's reviewed Draco's history, his music, what people have said about him have doubted him as being an artist, but they wanted to remove it from all the context of art and say, you know, this is a young black guy talking about


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, things that exist in South Central Los Angeles, shooting, guns, drugs, lean, and say because he's rapping about it, well, therefore he must be doing it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, it's a real problem, it's a real outrage and it's being done, uh, all over California.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, that's, you know, that's what got me out of San Francisco down to LA was, uhm, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, Jeff Weiss reached out to Eric and Eric put, put us in touch and then, you know, I talked to Draco from, from jail a few times and,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, what he was telling me, I was like, mmm, you know, doing criminal work, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People tell you a lot of things that once you start to review the case...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Visiting room with him at Men's Central Jail for like four hours the first time. Uhm, and we just went over everything and I was like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This seems all, what he's saying seems all credible and right and supported by the evidence, but why are the prosecutors and the police over here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and, you know, when I did actually get hold of the discovery, the police reports, the grand jury transcript, uhm, it really was as, as horrifying as, as I think people have, uhm, imagined it to be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And to be clear, so I think it's important that people understand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From somebody who, even by their own theory, uh, didn't know the murder was gonna happen, but they still prosecuted him. They sought, uh, what's called special circumstances murder, which is essentially makes you death eligible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they kept the death penalty on the table against Draco up until right before trial. So they were seeking death up until a few more months before trial for somebody that by their own witnesses and evidence


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did not know the shooting was going to occur. Did not encourage the shooting to occur. Did not want the shooting to occur.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Especially problematic, I think it's been, uhm, there's been a fair amount of writing about it by, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so, so, so uhm, this guy, uh, his name is Brandon Duncan and he's actually, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Him and Aaron Harvey, two of the defendants who were charged in San Diego like this have reached out and tried, um, offered to help and they're actually helping with this case and getting the word out, which has been great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In that case, the judge took a look at it and dismissed the 182.5 charges. Here, uhm, in this case, the jury hung on those, meaning there was a mistrial declared because the jury couldn't reach a verdict.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The charge was seven to five for a quiddle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And a juror reached out to me afterwards, the day afterwards, because he was just, you know, really so uhm, moved in a, in a, in a,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So generally, uhm, in my experience,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Prosecutors, you don't refile when somebody has 10 out of 12 jurors voting to acquit them. Uhm, and, you know, not being an LA attorney, I spoke to a group of LA attorneys out here and just


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, you know, what do you think is going to happen? Will they refile that? No, no way. There's no reason, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but, you know, they've, they've, they've made a decision. They announced it, uh, last month that they want to proceed and, and try to give him life in prison.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean I think it's, so this was uhm, the detective in this case, this became I believe somewhat of an obsession for him. Uhm, it was a really strange case to review because uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, pretty soon, within a few weeks, or I'm sorry, within a month afterwards, they had a, they knew who the shooters were, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Draco didn't have anything to do with the shooting, they knew that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They had a, uh, an informant who testified who said no, uh, actually the shooting broke out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Draco thought that they were being shot at and ducked under the steering wheel, right? Was just trying to avoid the gunfire. Uhm, that's, that's been undisputed, right? So uhm, you know, the, the,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, the idea, the idea that, that, that uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's why, why the detective focused on, on him? I don't know. I mean, maybe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, trying to get in somebody else's head is tough. You know, there's a lot of challenges that I've...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you learn about even outside of L.A., about L.A. policing, right? Uhm, this is actually L.A. Sheriff's Department, it's not LAPD.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know, LAPD actually, uh, went through a series of reforms, uh, over the past, I don't know, 15, 20 years. And, uhm, I think there's still some challenges within the sheriff's department.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, generally, there's a lot of, there's checks and balances in our criminal justice system.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if a police bring a case that shouldn't be prosecuted, the DA will usually step in and say, you know, no, we're not going to file charges, uhm, we're not going to prosecute this person.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In this case, it was the DA's office and this detective working together since the beginning of the case and uhm, I don't know why


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They wanted Draco, the only, I, you know, you can.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can have a dozen theories, use a trophy, he's brash, you know, he's definitely outspoken.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uhm, you know, I got to know him pretty well going through trial for two months, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 8 hours a day sitting next to a person, going, visiting them in jail, talking on the phone, reviewing every, all of the discovery and things they were alleging. Uhm, you know, he's a guy who's come up from nothing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Created something for himself and, uh, has...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, our criminal justice system trying to take everything away in a way that just isn't warranted, isn't justified, uhm, so, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, so, so, you know, Ralphie, Ralphie is, is a real, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, example of like tragic collateral damage of their focus on Draco. So the focus on the Sting team really was all about getting to Draco. And so,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, earlier you said that some of the members of the stink team were involved in violence. That's actually not accurate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean it was like glorified petty crime, right? Things that would be misdemeanors, things that you go to, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. And that was, I mean, that was part of it. I was like, they're like, they're a gang of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's alright, it's nice, it works. Uhm, yeaah, no, but like, you know, they went after all of these guys so hard, and uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, fuck too snitchy about a guy who was...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Stink team that had given some information to the police, uhm, in a music video.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and they used all these outtakes and everybody's laughing and joking around and you know, it's not like-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it's not witness intimidation, it was like a group of young guys screwing around and just kind of, uhm, slamming a friend who had done something dumb.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so they tagged the witness intimidation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, with a gang enhancement. So now these guys are facing life in prison.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tagging a wall and not even like, I mean, you know, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Generally, this is, this is such low level conduct. And in LA,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The amount of resources that has been spent prosecuting these guys, uhm, has been, you know, outrageous. And so Ralphie...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Went, they joined him with Draco and with the other, uh, defendant at trial and he went through trial and was actually, uh, convicted on, on, on some counts relating to, uh, burglaries.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think he was acquitted of the vandalism and he was acquitted, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this, this is what you were talking before, or you mentioned before that I didn't actually follow up on about the benefit aspect, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The thing in the, the allegation is that uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He somehow benefited because a killing that he didn't know was gonna happen, uhm, happened and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and this was, you know, there was L.A. gangs involved here. The individual that was killed was a member of the Bloods and uhm, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For somebody like Draco, being accused of killing a member of the Bloods is not a benefit. Right, that's pretty much a death sentence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very complicated and, you know, I think there's, there's certainly been, um, repercussions since then, since people


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Believe the, the, the prosecution theory and said, oh yea, Draco had something to do with this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's, there's a way that these gang cases are prosecuted and they say, you know, everybody, everything is for the benefit of the gang.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is a little different when they're saying that somebody who had nothing to do with the killing benefits.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they say, because Draco's name is Draco the Ruler, he's the leader of the stink team gang.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right? Which, you know, we, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The instinct is to laugh about it if it wasn't so serious because it seems so, you know, farcical.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, and that's the thing, and uhm, I think...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That I'm, I'm glad the Guardian piece came out. I'm glad that people are paying attention. I'm glad that, uhm, you know, I'm glad that we're doing this and we're talking about it because, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To the degree that this prosecution is allowed to continue and he's going to trial, uhm, you know, I'm confident, but anything can happen in the trial. And, you know, when...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have a, a, a, an office like this, the pros, the prosecution in this case, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not doing the right thing, right? I think the right thing would have been not to prosecute him in the first place, but certainly not to retry him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then I think really people, uhm, it's helpful that people know about it and are educated and can speak out and reach out and try to stop the prosecution before it happens.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This reprosecution, uhm, is actually, uh, an article written by Jeff Weiss in the Fader. Did you have a chance to read that one? I did. A masterpiece. A masterpiece, beautifully written, very long, but extremely, uhm, unkind to the prosecution and law enforcement. Brutal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whether it's fair or unfair, you know, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think, you know, nobody's called into question the, the, uh, the truth of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, I get the sense that they were really badly embarrassed by that article. They lost in a very public way at trial. And so uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really, there has to be something that changes the momentum, right? Because, you know, we're speaking about it and people are...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, people in the activist community and the civil rights community are-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Interesting, that's right. Yeah, people are, yeah, but it's, it's, I think people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After he was acquitted of everything, kind of like, okay, and I went back to San Francisco. I'm like, I'm done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was great, you know, uhm, but then, you know, when they refiled it, everybody was like, woah, this is not right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, I, I run my own practice, so I have the opportunity to do cases that I consider important. To me, this is a really important case.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so, uh, but I think you're right, you know, I think that, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the greater community outside of the world that we're speaking in now, it would be helpful to have some light on it, which is why I was glad to come onto this program. Uhm, you know, I think that LA rappers, I think they should be paying attention because, you know, Draco's the test case.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, think about everybody, think about every rapper, any rapper you know in LA.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if they have, you know, and I'll use air quotes, gang affiliations, and one of those gang members kills somebody.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This opens the door for the prosecutors to start prosecuting people that don't have anything to do with the killing or the violence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, you know, there's an aspect where, you know, prosecutors are like everybody else. There was a...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, the timing was really interesting here. There was that LA Times article about Draco.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was like on the front page of the, I think the style section of the LA Times that came out right before they filed the murder case.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, a big, a big fish for, for them to try to take down, I think, and I think that added some, you know, motivation or, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Encouragement to them to go after him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that's exactly it. You know, I mean, I...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Work with prosecutors all the time and you get the range and there's some, some good prosecutors, good people that are doing their jobs. Uhm, this has been really...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, from a lawyer legal perspective, uhm, and I, there's a lot of people in the legal profession that are


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very well respected that are outraged by this case.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, for them to refile, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and the way they did it, I think, was really disturbing. You know, we showed up last month for sentencing, not a word beforehand, not a courtesy call to his lawyer and saying, hey, which is normally what would happen, hey, look,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, this is, this is the office's decision. Here's why. Uhm, they showed up in court with the two detectives who were uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, they were having a, like, it was, it was really, uh, it was hard. They were having a good time in court when they read out that they were refiling the charges and the detectives who, you know, I guess I understand it was a, it was a humiliating experience for them. They had, they got beaten publicly, but they never should have brought the case, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's sitting in a tiny, solitary confinement cell, uhm, which I think you probably read about in the article or have heard about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His dreams had been broke, crushed, and I'm gonna take all my music down. And then he wrote, Thank Detective Hardiman. Right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so, you know, that's all he tweeted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, absolutely. I mean like, it took all of the accomplishments that, you know, if it wasn't a rap, I mean like somebody achieving that level of accomplishment and then saying, you know, we're going to use that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Accomplishment, that, that artistry, and we're going to imprison you for life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think, I think you nailed it. He spoke from a place of pain. He spoke from a place of, uh, you know, just uhm, you know, there's a part that being in jail you, you know, I just know this from clients over the years. It's not a good place to be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, Draco was in, uhm, you know, general population. I think he was okay. And then he tweeted this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the detective went and went to a different judge, not even our judge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And got him placed in solitary confinement, uh, in Suge Knight's old cell. I guess Suge had just moved out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, uhm, but it's, it's, it's, it's, there's high security in the jail, but this isn't high security. This is solitary. And so he's locked down, uhm, 24 hours a day except for a couple of breaks where he gets to go out, call his lawyer, you know, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text
