We know that for JVM, saturday and sunday shows are complete re runs of Fridays show, then they start new episodes on Monday. When I watched the saturday re run to hear something that I missed, a huge chunk of the Friday's episode never came on, and was replaced with something else. Chris Grant never came back on to speak like he did on Friday's original episode.
I found the transcript. I saved it before it might be taken off like the video clip. Here is what was kept from the original first airing of the episode.
Now here's all what was taken out. Clips aren't just pulled off and replaced with different ones once the original has already aired. In fact, that doesn't happen. Somebody said something in this half that the public was not supposed to hear. I doubt it is brian oxman since he says the same things on every media source, and which they never take down. And I doubt it's Bryan Monroe's words they didn't want us to hear. That info is already everywhere.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: Tonight, one year since Michael Jackson`s tragic death. An explosive allegation about his personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray. Dr. Murray is charged with involuntary manslaughter for allegedly giving Jackson a killer dose of the powerful surgical knockout drug propofol. Now, TMZ is reporting that a stripper, a stripper at a Los Angeles club claims she saw Dr. Murray drinking the night before Jackson died. Dr. Murray`s rep flatly denying this accusation. That drinking allegation is the linchpin to a potentially damaging wrongful death lawsuit.
Michael`s father, Joe Jackson, claims when paramedics arrived to try and save Michael, Dr. Murray withheld life and death information from them. Michael`s big sister, Latoya, has long belief something was terribly wrong. Remember this from TMZ last July?
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Latoya, you still believe in a conspiracy?
LATOYA JACKSON, MICHAEL JACKSON`S SISTER: It`s murder. I think someone did it. That`s my opinion.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
VELEZ-MITCHELL: Meantime, what about Michael`s three children, Paris, Prince, and Blanket? How are they coping? You might be surprised by how much has changed just in a year. Straight out to my incredible, expert panel Brian Oxman, Joe Jackson`s attorney, Brian Monroe, media consultant and the last person interview Michael Jackson in the U.S., and Kryiss Grant, the first dancer chosen by Michael Jackson for his comeback tour. He is now the host of "Get Up & Dance" on Comcast on demand where he teaches you how to dance like Michael Jackson.
I would like to learn how to dance like Michael Jackson. But first, Mike Walters, assignment manager for TMZ. Mike, tell us about this shocking new drinking allegation.
MIKE WALTERS, TMZ`S ASSIGNMENT MANAGER: Well, you know, when Brian and Joe filed the complaint with the medical board, they included stuff about this strip club that possibly Dr. Murray was attending before and during treating Michael Jackson, including giving him propofol. Now, several people have said including another stripper that Dr. Murray wasn`t at this club. But I am told that there is a stripper who now is ready to come forward saying that not only did she see Dr. Murray in this club -- in the strip club, but he was drinking.
And you know what, this is something that obviously Brian and Joe and even the cops are going to want to know about -- about how Dr. Murray treated Michael Jackson and whether or not what he did was obviously wrong, and obviously, if he was under the influence of something could be a huge deal in this wrongful death case and in the investigation criminally.
VELEZ-MITCHELL: I`m wondering, Brian Oxman, attorney for Joe Jackson, since Dr. Murray is charged with involuntary manslaughter and the prelim is coming up pretty soon, could this stripper end up as a witness in Dr. Murray`s criminal trial?
BRIAN OXMAN, JOE JACKSON`S ATTORNEY: Jane, there`s been very little interest on the part of the Los Angeles police to get involved with the club that allegedly Dr. Murray was at. I confirmed with the owner of the club that, in fact, Dr. Murray was there that night. He didn`t give us the details. Simply said that the girls say that he was there. There are these young ladies who saw him there. They give the details as to what it was all about. And as to its significance, it could be very significant.
VELEZ-MITCHELL: Wow! Of course, I want to reiterate that Dr. Conrad Murray`s rep says it didn`t happen. He was not drinking in the hours before Michael Jackson`s death, but still explosive. Fantastic guess, stay right there. We`re just getting started. Shocking claims in the Michael Jackson death probe. Was his doctor boozing it up the night he died?
Now here's all what was taken out. Clips aren't just pulled off and replaced with different ones once the original has already aired. In fact, that doesn't happen. Somebody said something in this half that the public was not supposed to hear. I doubt it is brian oxman since he says the same things on every media source, and which they never take down. And I doubt it's Bryan Monroe's words they didn't want us to hear. That info is already everywhere.
It has been a year of twists and turns and high drama in the Michael Jackson death drama. Tonight his personal physician is against the ropes. Dr. Conrad Murray charged with involuntary manslaughter and is facing a potentially explosive wrongful death suit, a civil suit by Joe Jackson, Michael`s dad. All this as Michael`s three kids, Paris, Prince and Blanket, get set for a huge change in their lives.
Take a look at this video of Blanket uploaded to YouTube just last month. There`s little Blanket. What a cutie pie.
Wow, meantime, Grandma Katherine is saying in her new book that the children miss their dad terribly. Katherine also says that they`re isolated, that they have no friends because they`ve been home-schooled but that she`s going to change all that in September and enroll them in a regular private school.
Bryan Monroe, you were the last person to interview Michael Jackson. How do you think Michael Jackson would feel about his kids going to a regular private school and his mother writing a kind of tell- all book?
BRYAN MONROE, LAST TO INTERVIEW MICHAEL JACKSON: Well, you know I think starting with the kids, it`s going to be a good transition for them to be exposed to a wider group of kids at a private school.
You know, when I last talked with Michael a few years ago, Blanket was there, his youngest son Blanket was there at the interview. He opened the door, introduced me. Stuck out his left hand to shake my hand and Michael said, "No Blanket. You shake with your right hand, not your left hand." It was a very real father and son moment.
But even in that moment you could tell that there was both love and admiration in both ways with the father and the child. So I think a transition to private school would be in the best interest of those children.
VELEZ-MITCHELL: I wish them the best.
MONROE: Now, about that book, that`s a whole different game.
VELEZ-MITCHELL: Yes, ok. I want to bring in Kriyss Grant. You were the first dancer handpicked by Michael Jackson for his comeback tour. The rehearsal footage was made into an epic blockbuster movie and of course so many of us saw it. It`s "This is It" released by Columbia Pictures.
Chris, I have to ask you about something that perplexed me when I sat down and went into movie theater and watched this film. We know that Michael Jackson died with a drug cocktail in his body that was strong enough to knock over a horse. And yet watching this movie, I was astounded at how coordinated this 50-year-old man was, how lucid, how together. I just couldn`t match those two images of the drugs found in his system and all the stuff that we`re seeing right here. I can`t figure it out.
KRIYSS GRANT, HOST, "GET UP AND DANCE": He was very hands-on. I mean, there was really no signs of anything wrong. He was very into his work. He showed us that, you know, to save our energy and not to give a lot of basically but yet he would perform full out and we all would laugh about it because we never understood. And we kind of found ourselves trying to keep up with the king of pop. And it was just an amazing thing. So, I mean, he was very hands on in anything, the singing, the dancing, everything.
VELEZ-MITCHELL: But I still don`t understand. They found Propofol, a surgical knockout drug, Lorazepam, Lidocaine, metazolam (ph), valium; that was in his system. This is right when he was rehearsing. He had come home from rehearsal.
How is it that a man, a 50-year-old man is able to act like that when he goes home and he puts these drugs in his system. I don`t get it. Do you have any explanation?
GRANT: No, I have none at all. When he was with us, it seemed like everything was ok, everything was fine, you know.
VELEZ-MITCHELL: Yes. It`s a mystery. If anybody on our panel has a thought about that, please jump in.
MIKE WALTERS, ASSIGNMENT MANAGER, TMZ: I have one, Jane. Actually they found Ephedra, a type of stack, like a speed in his house. One of the things they took. It was not prescribed by a doctor. They were black pills found in a bottle unmarked.
I`m not saying Michael did speed but what I`m saying is sometimes you can take stuff during the day when you`re rehearsing and then afterwards take some of the stuff to come down. That`s my theory on Michael and how he was able to perform.
MONROE: That`s absolutely right.
VELEZ-MITCHELL: Ok. Go ahead Brian.
BRIAN OXMAN, JOE JACKSON`S ATTORNEY: What you have with Michael Jackson is the consummate performer. No matter how bad he`s feeling, no matter how sickly he is, you see somebody who was extraordinary.
The autopsy tells you the story though. He had brain swelling. His brain was swollen. That`s all there was to it. He had chronic bronchitis, chronic pneumonia and he was anemic. Look at the pictures in that film. He has three shirts on and a heavy coat and the dancers behind them are shirt sleeves, tank tops. They`re bare naked.
This was a man who was not in good condition and there`s just no way around that autopsy which shows it.
VELEZ-MITCHELL: You`re right, he`s the consummate performer to pull it off. Go ahead.
MONROE: I have to tell you when I was with him -- we were with him across three days. And he was a consummate performer but he was also very energetic. I didn`t see him tired or dragging at all.
When he was on stage we did a photo shoot at the Brooklyn Museum of Arts. He was fully engaged. Even sitting down next to him; I was about two feet from him for most of the interview. He had razor stubble on and reading glasses; remember he was 50 years old.
(CROSS TALKING)
VELEZ-MITCHELL: Yes. Let me just say this though. I was in Beverly Hills the other day and I had to go into a pharmacy to get something. All of a sudden I realized I`m in the famous Mickey Fine (ph) pharmacy. (INAUDIBLE) sued him for racking up $100,000 in prescription pills and not paying -- in less than a year and not paying. If it quacks like a duck, sometimes it`s a duck.
Now, I want to move on to Joe Jackson. He`s suing Dr. Murray for wrongful death. Joe himself has come under some sharp criticism for his bizarre behavior. Do you remember this strange red carpet interview Joe gave just three days after Michael died?
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
JOE JACKSON, MICHAEL JACKSON`S FATHER: I want to make this statement. This is a real good statement here. Marshal and I have -- we own a record company called --
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Grant`s records. By Blue Ray technology. That`s his next step.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
VELEZ-MITCHELL: Brian Oxman, you`re the attorney for Joe Jackson. Is his behavior going to become an issue in the wrongful death trial? Couldn`t Dr. Murray turn around and say look at you, who are you to point the finger?
OXMAN: I know, Jane, and I`ve heard all the criticisms. I love Joe Jackson. He was Michael`s father. Michael loved Joe Jackson and there`s just no ands, ifs or buts about it. Joe is a character and we love him because he`s a character.
VELEZ-MITCHELL: You love him because he`s a character. I don`t love him because he`s a character.
OXMAN: He speaks out of sorts -- I know that Jane and I understand it. But you know something? He was the poppa of this family, the poppa of the king of pop. I respect him and I think he`s a very good man.
VELEZ-MITCHELL: I want to talk a little bit about the involuntary manslaughter trial that Dr. Conrad Murray is heading into a preliminary hearing. It`s expected this August.
And I was thinking, Mike Walters, about the Michael Jackson child molestation trial that you and I both covered and what a circus it was. I was thinking wait. You have Deepak Chopra and Uri Gellar and all these famous people have made statements on camera that they tried to warn Michael Jackson about not doing drugs.
Is Dr. Conrad Murray`s trial going to turn into one of these star- studded crazy media circuses like the Jackson trial?
WALTERS: Yes, absolutely. If this thing goes to trial, obviously, it will be crazy out there. But during that 2005 trial that we covered together, it did come out in paperwork that basically Michael Jackson`s family went to Neverland Ranch and they tried to stop him, to get him into rehab, to have an intervention and they were stopped by Neverland security and never actually got in there, the rest of his family. That is interesting. That will probably come up.
But I also think, remember Jane, there`s nine other doctors under investigation by the DEA for treating Michael Jackson over all of these years. Dr. Murray whether or not he acted wrong or he`ll be convicted of crimes, he was also somewhat of a fall guy. There was a lot of drugs being pumped into Michael Jackson for a lot of years from a lot of different doctors. So that is going to be taken in consideration when sentencing Dr. Murray --
(CROSS TALKING)
VELEZ-MITCHELL: Well, let me jump in here because, Bryan Monroe, Dr. Murray`s attorney is saying he didn`t give him the fatal overdose. That he gave him some Propofol but not the amount found in his body. That`s a clue to his defense, is it not?
MONROE: Well, you know, looking at the evidence so far, it will look like there was a series of drugs administered to him during that window of time and even that hour and a half of missing time when Dr. Murray may or may not have been in the room to monitor. It was the Propofol and the quantity of Propofol which is a very, very dangerous drug used only in surgery that appeared to be the final push that ultimately killed Michael. That`s where the question is going to be.
VELEZ-MITCHELL: All right. Brian -- Brian, quickly?
OXMAN: It seems to me, Jane, that this matter is because we don`t really know what happened. It`s a year after this death of the king of pop, Michael Jackson. And we don`t know what`s happened. And I think that is the indictment here. The documents have got to come out. The information has got to come out. The secrecy is absolutely wrong.
VELEZ-MITCHELL: I`m going to make a prediction right now. I predict Dr. Conrad Murray will say that Michael Jackson got up and administered the fatal dose of Propofol to himself.
Please, I`m glad this is on tape. If I`m right, we`re going to play it again; if I`m wrong, maybe not.
