Transcript

00:00Lil Nas X is in a heap of trouble.

00:03He has been hit with four felonies.

00:06He could face years in prison

00:09for allegedly attacking cops during a crazy run-in.

00:14A crazy run-in, which we told you about this,

00:16that it happened early Thursday morning

00:18in the San Fernando Valley.

00:19We, since then, have gotten new video that shows...

00:22Nude video.

00:23New nude video.

00:26Initially, we had seen him walk in

00:27in his tighty-whities and his cowboy boots,

00:29but at some point, those came off as well

00:32and this video shows him completely naked

00:35as these were just bystanders...

00:38This is before where he was wearing the tighty-whities.

00:40Right.

00:41He allegedly charged cops

00:44and, according to the L.A. County District Attorney,

00:48injured three of them.

00:50It appears three because he's been hit with three charges

00:53of a battery on a cop with injury.

00:56I wonder what...

00:57We don't know just from the charging,

00:59what the injuries were.

01:02Yeah, what he did.

01:03You would think, how much could he do in that condition?

01:08But we don't have any...

01:09We don't have body cam video yet of the actual competition.

01:11You could do plenty if he charged him

01:12and hit him or whatever.

01:14But there's a fourth charge of resisting a peace officer.

01:18So there are four felonies that he faces.

01:21And again, he could go to prison for this.

01:23He is currently, as we do the show right now,

01:26so he's in jail.

01:28He's in custody.

01:29Spent the whole weekend in jail.

01:31But he is waiting for his hearing today,

01:34where we presume he will bail out.

01:38And presumably he'll plead...

01:40He's going to plead not guilty.

01:41He's going to plead not guilty.

01:42Right.

01:43And, you know, it's weird.

01:45Why didn't they charge him with indecent exposure?

01:48I don't know.

01:48I mean, maybe they just felt at that point

01:50it was such a minor...

01:51I don't know.

01:52I mean, usually...

01:53That's the clear.

01:54That's like the obvious charge.

01:55Usually they do.

01:56And I don't know why they didn't.

01:57And they could add it.

01:59Right.

01:59But the weird thing about this is

02:01we were checking the jail records beginning Friday.

02:06And it looked like he was only charged with one misdemeanor.

02:09Which is that we were going,

02:10why is he being held without bail?

02:12Held without bail over the entire weekend.

02:15Remember, he was arrested Thursday morning.

02:16I think there's a potential that one of the officers was injured

02:20when he charged at him.

02:22Because that's what police said.

02:23So why didn't the jail records reflect a felony?

02:27Because...

02:27Originally, on Friday, when we were looking at this.

02:29Originally, when we covered this originally,

02:34for some reason, the Sheriff's Department listed it as a misdemeanor.

02:39That's what we were trying to figure out.

02:40I just have no idea.

02:42I mean, if he charged the cops and somebody got injured,

02:45it seems to me...

02:47They would have known that...

02:49Right then.

02:49On Thursday.

02:50Right then.

02:50Certainly by Friday, but...

02:52So it's just weird.

02:53I mean, I don't know that it means anything,

02:55but it's just weird because we couldn't figure it out

02:58and nobody could give us an answer.

03:00Right.

03:00But we know now.

03:02And...

03:02But why would they charge him with four felonies?

03:05Well, he may have...

03:06Well, three of them are the...

03:08He may have hit three officers.

03:10I mean, that's what I'm thinking.

03:12Well, if he hit three officers, they're individual accounts.

03:15No, I understand.

03:16But, you know, just taking into consideration

03:18what the police believed at the time,

03:21which was that he was on drugs.

03:22On drugs.

03:23And it...

03:23But that's not a defense.

03:25It certainly...

03:25That's not a defense.

03:26I got it.

03:27That's not...

03:27That's like saying...

03:28That's like saying, I drove drunk,

03:30but I was drunk, so you really can charge me.

03:33No, but I think what Jamie's trying to hit out

03:35is that things have changed, right?

03:37That there was a time where this...

03:40You certainly wouldn't have been hit with felonies.

03:42But no, no, no.

03:42But you would have.

03:44See, what I'm saying is, the weird thing is

03:45that they knew from the jump

03:47that he had attacked the officers.

03:50It's just, why did they go through the system

03:52as a minor thing when it was bigger than mine?

03:54By the way, those boots.

03:55Oh, my God.

03:57Which did eventually come off.

04:00Someone picked them up, right?

04:02And now they're...

04:03They're on eBay.

04:04They're on eBay.

04:05I do not think the underwear will be...

04:07I don't think the underwear can be on eBay.

04:09I think you're not allowed to sell that.

04:10I don't think you're allowed to do that.

04:11Hi, this is Eric in Sacramento, California.

04:15I wonder, I mean, how much drugs can a person take?

04:19Oh, my goodness.

04:19I mean, being in the music business is hard enough,

04:22but you get choices to make.

04:24Maturity is one thing, but wow, you're a star.

04:29You need to represent your brand.

04:32This is not a good look for you at all.

04:34So, look, I will say one thing.

04:36That, yeah, if he went on a bender that night, I'd get it.

04:40But something was going on because he was acting out of his head...

04:45We were on Wednesday afternoon.

04:45...Wednesday afternoon.

04:47And so this was a...

04:49Which does point to drugs, but again, if this were a drug situation,

04:54he went to the hospital for, what, three, four hours or so?

04:58And then was taken to jail.

04:59And then was taken to jail.

05:00So that doesn't...

05:02I mean, it could be drugs and it wasn't an overdose.

05:04It was just he was on something, he came down, and who knows?

05:07We don't know what happened at the hospital.

05:09One of the issues is they never test for drugs in the city of Los Angeles, it seems.

05:14I mean, when there was a...

05:16I don't think you could say that.

05:18Well, they never do, but I know what you're saying.

05:20Why don't you test and find out?

05:22Well, he may have been on drugs.

05:23But again, being on drugs is not a defense if you attack a police officer.

05:28It is really the same principle as, oh, I got in a car and I was driving drunk,

05:32but, Your Honor, I was drunk, so you can't really charge me.

05:35Keep that in mind, Dan.

05:36No, that's exactly what you charge with.

05:42So we've got an update now on Lil Nas X.

05:44He finally had his bail hearing and his arraignment as well,

05:48though he waived arraignment and bail was set at $75,000.

05:53Which means he has to post 10% of that $7,500 he's still in

05:56as of the moment we're doing this right now.

05:59But he should get out soon.

06:00To see him, actually, and he's been in for four days.

06:03Looking somber.

06:04A lot of people thought, gee, he must have been out of his head on Ventura Boulevard.

06:08So to see him here, it's a real contrast.

06:10Right.

06:11Definite contrast from early Thursday morning.

06:13You know, they said as part of the terms of his bail,

06:15he cannot use any narcotics and has to submit to drug testing.

06:21So it feels like they believe at least that clearly,

06:25that they believe that he was on drugs when they arrested him.

06:29And they may actually know that because we don't know what happened at the hospital.

06:31Well, they took him to the hospital.

06:32They may have taken blood.

06:33Right.

06:34But they clearly thought he was on drugs then.

06:38And he certainly was acting erratically walking naked on Ventura Boulevard.

06:43Yes.

06:43And allegedly assaulting officers in the process.

06:46Right.

06:46So we will see.

06:47We will see.

06:48We will see.

06:49We will see.

06:50We will see.

06:51We will see.

06:52We will see.

06:53We will see.

06:54We will see.

06:55We will see.

06:56We will see.

06:57We will see.

06:58We will see.

06:59We will see.

07:00We will see.

07:01We will see.

07:02We will see.

07:03We will see.

07:04We will see.

07:05We will see.
