The Diddy trial continues, with Kid Cudi and David James taking the stand this week, and bombshells were dropped. Kid Cudi revealed that Diddy set his Porsche on fire and broke into his home, while David James name-dropped former President Obama multiple times. Next, Trump is back with tariffs, now considering a 50% tariff on all EU goods and a 25% tariff on Apple. But that's not all: Harvard is no longer allowed to have international students, Elias Rodriguez's father has been identified as a federal employee, and the DoD is finally launching a full investigation into the botched 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal. And because it's Friday, we've got some laughs for you. All this and more on today's Untamed.
Everything changed when women dared to speak up. This week, with my co-host, criminal behavioral analyst Laura Richards, and special guest ex-CIA spy Andrew Bustamante by my side, we're dissecting the walls of power, money, intimidation, and silence surrounding Diddy's alleged abuse. We break down Cassie's mother's pivotal testimony, explore the mechanics of coercion, sex trafficking and racketeering charges, and lay out practical strategies for any woman feeling trapped by threats and shame. We ask the uncomfortable questions: When the world won't protect women, what does justice really look like? And—how do we take back our stories, our safety, and our agency, even when going up against the untouchable?

David Forde is with us this week. For a bloke who has quit playing football countless times Forde managed to carve out a great career and cement himself as a Millwall legend. Forde has suffered with performance anxiety for large parts of his career and often found himself skipping training to travel to India to practice meditation to help him battle this and find a new form of focus. After getting a 2 week fine while playing in the Welsh league Forde was ready to quit football and move back to Ireland but in a very quick U-turn he got a move to West Ham and was training with his hero David James. In a career spanning across 20 years Forde has had his fair share of encounters with mavericks including Martin Allen, Di Canio & Stephen Bywater. While at Millwall he saw everything a Millwall legend would have; promotions, relegations, fights, smoking cigars at Wembley after winning in the play-offs and of course the elbow Jermaine Beckford.

Diddy Trial Day 6 Recap - Frying Pans & Fear Inside Diddy's Sex-Fueled Kingdom As Ex-Assistant & Friend Break Silence In today's explosive coverage of the federal trial against Sean “Diddy” Combs, two witnesses—Kerry Morgan, the former best friend of Cassie Ventura, and David James, Combs's ex-personal assistant—gave damning testimony that paints a chilling picture of coercion, control, and systemic abuse. These are not random outsiders or distant observers. These are two people who lived inside Diddy's world and are now telling a court what they allegedly saw. Morgan testified that Cassie was emotionally, financially, and physically entrapped in a toxic relationship where leaving wasn't a real option. She described moments of horror: Cassie being dragged by her hair in Jamaica, pounded on with a hammer at her door in Los Angeles, and the brutal 2018 incident where Combs allegedly assaulted Morgan herself, leaving her concussed and vomiting. Perhaps most disturbing, Morgan says she was offered $30,000 to sign an NDA and walk away in silence. David James, meanwhile, worked inside what he called “Mr. Combs's kingdom.” As a personal assistant, he recounted Cassie telling him directly, “I can't get out. He controls everything.” That line captures what prosecutors are trying to prove: this was more than just a dysfunctional relationship. It was, according to multiple witnesses, a controlled system of dependency, fear, and entrapment. This episode dives into both testimonies in full detail, breaking down the psychology of control, the role of enablers, and the devastating cost of silence. It also addresses Judge Subramanian's critical ruling excluding hearsay, and what that means for what the jury is allowed to hear. If you're following the case for real insight—not just headlines—this is the breakdown you need. #diddytrial #cassieventura #truecrime #witnessstand #federaltrial #kerrymorgan #davidjames #seancombs #abuseofpower #freakoffs Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Listeners, the spotlight today is firmly on Sean Combs, also known as Puff Daddy, P Diddy, or simply Diddy, as his high-profile federal trial continues to unfold in New York. Seven months after his dramatic arrest, Combs faces five felony charges—racketeering conspiracy, two counts of sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion, and two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. Prosecutors allege he ran a criminal enterprise for two decades, accusations Combs has fiercely denied, pleading not guilty and insisting all his relationships were consensual.Courtroom testimony has gripped the public. Cassie Ventura, Diddy's ex-girlfriend, spent four days on the stand, delivering emotional and harrowing accounts of abuse. She described being beaten during drug-fueled encounters involving male prostitutes. Singer Dawn Richard told the jury that Combs once claimed he “owned” Ventura, while Kerry Morgan, Ventura's former best friend, testified that Combs once choked her and hit her with a wooden hanger, leaving marks on her neck. Morgan also described seeing Combs assault Ventura multiple times, painting a portrait of control and fear inside his inner circle. Combs' former assistant, David James, also began his testimony, with further revelations expected as the trial resumes.The business impact for Diddy has been severe. While once celebrated as the archetype of hip-hop entrepreneurial success, with a net worth estimated at $1 billion and ownership of lucrative brands like Ciroc vodka and Bad Boy Records, his empire is now under intense strain. Ciroc's sales have plunged 32 percent year-on-year, and Bad Boy Records' catalog has declined to just 10 percent of its peak value since the trial began, signaling reputational and financial fallout throughout his portfolio. Investors are watching closely; a conviction could mean decades in prison and further collapse of his business ventures, while an acquittal might open the door for a brand revival.From Harlem hustle to boardroom influence, Combs' story is now reaching its most critical juncture. In the coming weeks, as testimony concludes and the jury prepares to deliberate, the world will be watching to see whether one of music's most influential moguls can weather the storm—or faces a dramatic fall from grace.

In this special episode of The Learning & Development Podcast, we’re turning the tables! Host of The Learning Hack podcast, John Helmer, takes over the mic to interview our very own David James about 360Learning’s new L&D Maturity Model. With a wealth of experience in the learning industry, John brings a sharp, inquisitive lens to this conversation, challenging David on why L&D needs another maturity model, how it’s been developed, and what makes it different from the many that have come before. If you’ve ever wondered how to push your team forward and make a lasting impact, this episode is for you. Take your L&D to the next level Take advantage of thousands of hours of analysis. Hundreds of conversations with industry innovators and 25+ years of hands-on global L&D leadership. It's all distilled into one framework to help you level up L&D. Access the L&D Maturity Model here - https://360learning.com/maturity-model KEY TAKEAWAYS The Maturity Model was built collaboratively. The model covers the 5 stages L&D goes through to reach maturity and become the engine that transforms their businesses. To truly impact the business, you need to anticipate business needs and train people for them in advance – the transformative stage. Stakeholders will resist your working transformatively. David explains why and how to overcome this. If you don´t understand the work you can´t deliver a solution. Open your conversations with “How´s business?” PR the hell out of everything and the impact you deliver. Use AI. David explains how. BEST MOMENTS “This is the lived experience of bouncing against stakeholders.” “It starts with the strategy rather than the learning.” “Be persistently consistent.” VALUABLE RESOURCES The Learning And Development Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-learning-development-podcast/id1466927523 L&D Master Class Series: https://360learning.com/blog/l-and-d-masterclass-home John Helmer John Helmer is a writer, podcaster and communications strategy expert specialising in learning, training and education, with a focus on digital technology innovation.

This week your host Fred Williams and co-host Doug McBurney conclude Dr. Royal Truman's concerns with Professor Dave, and talk witnessing out in the world with Abbie Leash! *Welcome Back Dr. Truman: Royal Truman, PhD received his bachelor's degrees in chemistry and in computer science from SUNY Buffalo, an M.B.A from the University of Michigan, a Ph.D. in organic chemistry from Michigan State with post-graduate studies in bioinformatics at the universities of Heidelberg and Mannheim in Germany. Royal believes the God of Abraham created the universe recently, and that His Son Jesus Christ is the savior of the world. *Freshman Genetics: Concern #11, Dr. Truman points out that Professor Dave is incorrect when he says "every organism" has a genome with genes wrapped around histones, (by far, most organisms do not). *Expression of Ignorance: Concern #12, Professor Dave states that enzymes interact with promoters in the encoding region of the genome. (chemical reactions are not being catalyzed at promoter sites). *Mutant Claim: Concern #13, When Professor Dave claimed a mutation is a change in the genetic code, he incorrectly defined mutations. An insignificant proportion of mutations change the genetic code, and many mutations damage regulator functions instead of protein sequences. *But Who's Counting? Concern #14, Professor Dave's claims that "creationists lie about the proportion of the genome that is functional" and that "genes make up only 1-2% of the genome" are together a false accusation against creation scientists, and an erroneous reference to only the exons on mRNA. *What's Your Function? Concern #15, Dave's errant description of "coding DNA" overlooks that many categories of genes are not protein coding at all, so 1-2% is grossly wrong. Also, transfer RNA by definition is not coding DNA; and there is no such term as 'genes for ribosomes' in the definition of coding DNA. *Encode Project Anyone? Concern #16, The claim that "10% max" of the genome is functional ignores widely acknowledged regulatory and structural functions (already well understood before Professor Dave got his "science communicator" credentials on YouTube.) *Lies and Statistics: Concern #17, David James makes the absurd claim that creation science researchers do not allow for realignment after discrepancies are detected, which is a mathematically impossible explanation for the 84% value. This absurd claim is also directly contradicted by the papers published by the creation scientists. *Off the Leash! Listen to software engineer and creation speaker Abbie Leash discuss the battles of faith, creation and real science out there in the college-educated world.

Today I release an impactful conversation that I had recently with Peyton James' dad - David. Peyton was an incredible young man who died by suicide in 2014 and while his dad will feel his absence for the rest of his life, he takes some comfort in spreading the ripple effects of Peyton's life with hope through the legacy foundation started in his sons' name - The Peyton Heart Project. You should ALL take a look and consider getting involved at the link below-- they make it super easy!!Among other things we discuss stigma, mental health in schools, organ donorship and how dads grief matters - deeply - and yet often feel forgotten or like they have nowhere to turn to find support. We also discuss how suicide loss is different. This dad has definitely leaned into his pain to find purpose. This is one for everyone to listen to! READ MORE HERE on the Peyton Heart WEBSITEAt the Peyton Heart Project, our mission is to raise global awareness about suicide, bullying, and to help end the stigma surrounding mental health issues.We're doing this through our campaign of distributing small, knitted and crocheted hearts with inspirational messages in locations where we hope they'll be easily found. To date, we've scattered over 100,000 hearts all across the country and the world.You can help us spread our message by making hearts and shipping them to us or scattering them yourself, or we'll gladly ship you a package of hearts that you can use to spread our message. Our project is donor-funded, so we ask that you keep us in mind in your giving plans. Thank you for your generous support. We couldn't do it without you."David is the father of The Peyton Heart Project's namesake, Peyton James. After losing Peyton to suicide in 2014, David set out to raise awareness of mental health issues and suicide so that other families wouldn't feel the pain of losing a loved one to suicide. Knowing that education is the key to prevention, David has lobbied for laws in his home state of Texas that require educators to be trained yearly in suicide awareness. He also speaks at various events using Peyton's story to help others. He resides in the Texas Hill Country with his wife Lisa, daughter Emmalee, and two corgis Earl and Zelda."

This week your host Fred Williams and co-host Doug McBurney welcome Dr. Royal Truman to air his concerns regarding assertions that "Professor Dave" (David James Farina) makes against creation scientists. *The Royal Treatment: Royal Truman, PhD received his bachelor's degrees in chemistry and in computer science from SUNY Buffalo, an M.B.A from the University of Michigan, a Ph.D. in organic chemistry from Michigan State with post-graduate studies in bioinformatics at the universities of Heidelberg and Mannheim in Germany. Royal believes the God of Abraham created the universe recently, and that His Son Jesus Christ is the savior of the world. *Setting the Stage: Concern Zero: Professor Dave claims there are no credible chemists in the creation science community. *The Disappearing Evolutionist: Concern #1: Professor Dave claims there is no such word as "evolutionist." Someday, by the grace of God, we hope he's not mistaken! *Whale of an Error: Concern #2: Dr. Truman helps Professor Dave and his audience understand the Hebrew word in the Bible for the great fish that swallowed Jonah. *Just Batty: Concern #3: More help for the good professor understanding the Hebrew word in the Bible that describes bats and flying creatures. *Constant Lunacy? Concern #4: Dr. Truman explains that Creationists assume that the rate of lunar recession was faster in the past, (contrary to Professor Dave's "bunk", we do not say it was constant). *The Slow Kid... Concern #5: Dr. Truman points out Professor Dave's misunderstanding of the mathematics describing the celestial mechanics regarding lunar recession. *The Mind of a Child : Concern #6: Professor Dave alleges that creation scientists misrepresent "the Big Bang" as an explosion that instantly produced fully formed planets. But we all know that creation scientists are perfectly capable of describing the Big Bang in all its absurdity, just as the evolutionists do, (typically right before we debunk it). *Abiogenesis: Concern #7: Professor Dave accuses creation scientists of oversimplifying the enormously sophisticated origin of life research, experiments and theories that have failed for decades to produce even a basic algorithm for abiogenesis that either a PhD or a 6th grader could call convincing. *Sprouting Off: Concern #8: Professor Dave says creation scientists accuse evolutionists of portraying creatures that suddenly sprout wings and appendages alá Richard Goldshmidt's Hopeful Monster! *Probability & Protein: Concern #9: Most people (creationists and evolutionists) outside specialized fields within genetics are not aware that genes and proteins can vary in composition along their sequence. Professor Dave pretends this common ignorance reflects what creation scientists believe, and then unleashes a torrent of vulgar insults, "poisoning the well" for a civil debate. *Competence & Condescension: Concern #10: Professor Dave claims there are no competent scientists in the creation science universe. *Setting the Table: Concern #11: Dr. Truman sets up a scholarly review of concerns 11-17 of Professor Dave's so-called creationist debunk video.
