Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi guys, all of you Crime Stories listeners, I want
to thank you for joining us so often, and please
take a listen to the Brandy Morning News podcast. It's
a mix of headlines covering the biggest stories from national news,
sadly to politics, and most importantly to true crime. It's
hosted by Caitlin Becker and it's called the n y
(00:22):
Post Cast short for New York Postcast, and it's one
of my favorite news outlets, if not my very favorite
news outlet. The New York Post the best banners in
the world. Take a listen. I think you'll really enjoy
the episodes.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Our greatest evangelist for liberty became a mortal. That's how
President Trump paid tribute to Charlie Kirk at a memorial
attended by tens of thousands. I have all the details
from the emotional service, plus the latest on a horrific
mass shooting at a New Hampshire wedding. What the shooter
yelled during the attack could offer clues to a possible motive.
And the kids aren't all right. Senator Ron Wyden's children
(01:01):
have been blamed for driving his wife's assistant to commit suicide.
According to a bombshell lawsuit, those stories and more today Monday,
September twenty second, and Caitlin Becker and this is the
New York postcast. He's a martyr.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Now.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
That's just part of how President Trump helped lay Charlie
Kirk Torest in front of a football stadium filled with
mourners in Arizona. The President described the shock he felt
when he learned of Kirk's death and said he believed
that Kirk was killed because he was winning on what
he called progressive college campuses. Trump also shared the last
words Charlie said to him, quote, please, sir, save Chicago.
(01:38):
The President promised to do just that, as he has
for several weeks now, to send the National Guard and
federal agents to the city to kirk crime. The most
emotional moments, though, as you'd expect, they came from Kirk's widow, Erica,
my husband, Charlie.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
He wanted to save.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Young men just like the one who took his life.
That man, that young man, I forgive him.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Other speakers who took the stage included Donald Trump, Junior
Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Vice President J. D. Vance,
who ended his speech by speaking right to Charlie saying quote,
I love you, my friend. We've got it from here
now to New Hampshire, where one couple's fairy tale day
turned into an absolute nightmare when a gunman stormed into
the sky Meadow country Club in Nashua and opened fire
(02:33):
during their wedding, leaving one dead and several others injured.
Twenty three year old Hunter Nadau was later idd as
the alleged shooter armed with a handgun. One wedding guest
who was killed is being hailed a hero. Witnesses say
Robert de Caesar went after the gunman as soon as
he kicked through the door of the dining room in
an attempt to protect his family. The father of two
was shot and killed, while two others were injured by
(02:55):
the shooter. Other injuries were sustained as roughly one hundred
wedding guests ran for cover. One witness said it appeared
as if the shooter was specifically going after De Caesar,
but police haven't indicated whether or not he was actually targeted.
Another witnesses reported nadal shouted free Palestine during the shooting.
The alleged shooter was promptly taken into custody. He's been
(03:16):
charged with second degree murder and is set to be
arranged later today, and while Nado's motive is unclear at
this point, his apparent shouting of free Palestine suggests this
might be the latest instance of the polarizing topic turning
violent here in the US, but globally the tide is
taking a different term. This week marks the beginning of
the high profile meeting of the UN General Assembly in
(03:36):
New York. The UK, Canada, and Australia all took the
opportunity to officially recognize a Palestinian state, and while the
move was largely expected, it was still met with outrage
from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Late night host Jimmy
Kimmel's representatives are reportedly in discussions with Disney over how
his situation post Charlie Kirk comments and subsequent indefinite suspension
(03:58):
can be resolved. Their goal is for Kimmel to be
able to resume taping and get back on the air.
The Sideline star is said to be concerned for his crew,
according to sources who talked to Vanity Fair, and what
a permanent cancelation would mean for their livelihoods. And Insider
notes that a lot of them are still trying to
recover from the twenty twenty three actors strike that took
the show off the air, which stopped paychecks. Meanwhile, Kimmel
(04:20):
got some surprising support I guess we'll call it from
Republican Senator Ted Cruz. While the Texas lawmaker was careful
to note that he was not a fan of Kimmel's,
he also criticized FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr's threats to revoke
ABC's broadcast license as something out of a quote mafioso playbook.
Here's some of what he said on his podcast on Friday.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
I hate what Jimmy Kimmel said. I am thrilled that
he was fired. But let me tell you, if the
government gets in the business of saying we don't kikay
what you the media have said, we're going to ban
you from the airwaves if you don't say what we like,
(04:59):
that will end up bad for conservatives.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
President Trump spent part of his weekend calling for former
FBI Director James Comey, Senator Adam Schiff, and New York
Attorney General Letitia James to be prosecuted by the Justice
Department swiftly saying all three are quote guilty as hell,
but nothing is going to be done. Guilty as hell
of what he didn't say, but the President also claimed
to have reviewed thirty statements and posts, saying Attorney General
(05:30):
Pam Bondi's team at the DOJ is quote all talk,
no action. The President has sung the praises of Bondi
several times since taking office for a second term, but
now he's pressuring her to do more to prosecute people
perceived as his enemies. The President complained that Bondie's Justice
Department nominated a quote Democrats supported US attorney in Virginia.
That man, Eric Sebert, had his nomination withdrawn over the
(05:53):
weekend and was replaced by Trump's former attorney Lindsay Halligan.
So is Bondi really in the hot seed? And should
the people Trump name checked be worried too? The Post's
political reporter Ryan King has been following all of this,
and he joins me, Now, so Ryan, let's start with
Pam Bondi. The President previously was a Bondie stand, praising
her work for the DC crime crackdown and his plans
(06:15):
for the kind of sequel that he wanted to see
in Memphis. Now he's taking jobs that are at truth
Social and then an hour later praising her again. He's
hot and he's cold. So what exactly is Pam Bondy's
status in Trump World?
Speaker 5 (06:28):
Yeah, well, I think President Trump clearly put her on notice.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
He made clear later on that he is supporting her
and still believes that she's doing a great job, but
he made sure to list out a few complaints that
he had with her, particularly over the DOJ's handling of
investigations into three of his rivals. In particular, he was
also unhappy with how she handled the federal Attorney in
(06:53):
the Eastern District of Virginia, Eric Sebert, who of course
is in charge of or had been in charge of,
overseeing investigation unto Letitia James.
Speaker 5 (07:03):
Trump recently over the weekend moved to oust him.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
And it was, you know, pretty dramatic for the President
to go on truth Social and to criticize the DJ
for not being more aggressive in investigating his rivals. Now,
he did again walk it back in a subsequent truth
Social post, but then to reporters when he was questioned
about this, he said that he just wants to get
(07:27):
these issues resolved, and he said that he thinks it's
just taking too long, regardless of whether or not there's
evidence to ultimately prosecute them, he just wants this issue
to be settled now. As for Bondie standing in magaworld, generally,
I'd say it's pretty fair to say that she's.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
Underwater right now.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
She might be okay with President Trump, but you know,
on somewhat thin nice with him, But like with magastars
such as Steve Bannon, Megan Kelly, Laura Lumar, etc. It's
very clear that they're not happy with her because of
a number of things that she's done, particularly or her
handling of the Epstein dr and in more recently her
suggestion that the government can go after hate speech.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
She said that last week, and.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
I kicked up a bit of a firestorm, and there
are multiple Conservice stars that called for her to be fired.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Yeah, there's really two lenses to view her through right now,
her relationship with the President and the Trump administration and
with the President's base and the MAGA following, so that
there is a bit of a differentiation there.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Now.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
You mentioned Letitia James there, and I want to dig
a little deeper into the President's beef with the New
York ag. The issue here is also connected to the
Virginia US attorney drama, as you said, So can you
just explain a little bit of what the heck is
going on here? Where does the real issue where's it rooted?
Speaker 5 (08:43):
Yeah, and this.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Really seemed to be the issue that Kado was big
undercurrent in the President's criticism of bonding. So Latitia James
had of course overseen a big investigation into the Trump
organization and ultimately brought forward a civil case against his
business hire, and that resulted in a half a billion
dollar fine that was recently overturned by an appeals court.
(09:06):
But that of course angered President Trump and the federal
prosecutor that had been in charge of investigatingists, Eric Seburn,
who the President recently ousted. Trump was complaining that he
was basically dragging his feet in this investigation.
Speaker 5 (09:22):
It wasn't being more aggressive.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
And his investigation into Leachisia James really revolved around accusations
that surfaced in April of mortgage fraud and it's really
technical stuff. But the President felt that the dj just
has not been making enough progress quickly enough on that case,
and he was particularly concerned that that federal prosecutor that
(09:44):
he ousted had the support of two Democrats, so he
was ripping him as a rhino, and he was kind
of blaming camp Bondi for him being in that acting role, and.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
He recently, of course replaced him over the weekend.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
And again this is just really I think the big
under current between the presidents slashing out at Pamboonda.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
I want to just turn your attention to the other
names that the President rattled off in that truth Social
kind of tirade that he had Shift and Comy. So
what is President Trump asking of Bondi in those cases?
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Yeah, he was a little bit less specific, but I
think his general complaint was that those cases are still
being too slow, that the dj isn't making enough progress
fast enough on those fronts. So this includes accusations of
mortgage fraud by Adam Schiff. Now Schiff, like Latist James Says,
of course denied this. It also includes Russia Gate concerns
(10:36):
about James Comy. All three of these people have been
really really prominent adversaries of President Trump, particularly during his
last administration and in the time in between his two
terms in the White House.
Speaker 5 (10:47):
So it is pretty significant.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
And I should know also that President Trump really had
beefed with his prior to attorney generals during its first administration.
He really had big beef with Jeff Sessions and then
with Bill Barr. So he does have a history of
kin clashing with the head of the DOJ.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
He definitely does seem to not only have a history
of the clashes, but that kind of rollercoaster of up
and down, up and down, up and down, support not supporting,
support not supporting. So I guess we are seeing a
bit of rinse and repeat as we have seen previously.
Thank you so much for joining us, Ryan, Yes, thank you.
A new lawsuit is making disturbing claims that the children
(11:29):
of Oregon Senator Ron Wyden bullied a personal assistant working
for the family to the point of suicide. Brandon O'Brien
worked for the Democratic senator's wife, Nancy, owner of the
famous Strand bookstore in New York, and according to court dox,
he was often tasked with taking care of the couple's children. Now,
when I said the claims in this case were disturbing,
I not only meant the suicide itself, but also the
(11:50):
twisted things the family is accused of doing skip ahead
sixty seconds if you don't want to hear it. The suit,
which was filed by Brandon's husband, claims the Widens, then
ten year old docter, allegedly exposed herself to O'Brien, making
quote sexually explicit comments and asked about his quote intimate
life during school drop offs. The senator's teenaged son is
accused in the suit of taunting O'Brien with homophobic slurs
(12:13):
and threatening him physically, and in one alleged violet encounter,
Nancy Widen reportedly tried to mace her son in an
effort to restrain him, but hit O'Brien instead. Now Widen's
lawyers are seeking to get this lawsuit tossed, calling it
quote baseless and deeply misguided, riddled with false accusations. Now
O'Brien quit in frustration in September of twenty twenty four,
(12:35):
and at the time, Nancy Widen accused him of stealing
six hundred and fifty thousand dollars. He then took his
own life this past May, and finally today, a dating
app love story Maybe a woman on Hinge is ready
to play ball with one suitor for a very interesting reason.
This single lady posted a picture of herself at a
baseball game on the app, and she asked prospective dates
(12:56):
if they could tell where she was. One guy replied
not just with the location, but the date of the
game and even the inning during which the photo was snapped.
His bizarrely specific guess was right. The location arguably pretty
easy to guess any Yankee fan, and many Yankee haters
could easily see it was taken at Yankee Stadium. The
rest of it was some CIA level work. The guy
(13:19):
deduced the rest based on the fact that the Baltimore
Orioles in the field include their catcher and pitcher and
the time of the year on the clothing being worn
in the stands. Yeah, it's a lot. The online reactions
were split between a for effort and s for scare
at the girl away. Now, the post was not able
to confirm whether or not that you actually ever went
(13:39):
on a date, But my fingers are crossed, both for
their potential love match and for her head not ending
up in his freezer. Maybe he just likes puzzles, Maybe
he's really smart. Maybe he'd be ace at trivia or
an escape room. Maybe she'll need to escape from shackles
and his basement. Love is a gamble, my friends, but
there is no gamble with this podcast though, for you
