  Speaker 1: Hi guys, all of you Crime Stories listeners, I want
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: to thank you for joining us so often, and please
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: take a listen to the Brandy Morning News podcast. It's
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: a mix of headlines covering the biggest stories from national news,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: sadly to politics, and most importantly to true crime. It's
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: hosted by Caitlin Becker and it's called the n y
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Post Cast short for New York Postcast, and it's one
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: of my favorite news outlets, if not my very favorite
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: news outlet. The New York Post the best banners in
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: the world. Take a listen. I think you'll really enjoy
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: the episodes.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Our greatest evangelist for liberty became a mortal. That's how
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: President Trump paid tribute to Charlie Kirk at a memorial
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: attended by tens of thousands. I have all the details
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: from the emotional service, plus the latest on a horrific
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: mass shooting at a New Hampshire wedding. What the shooter
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: yelled during the attack could offer clues to a possible motive.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: And the kids aren't all right. Senator Ron Wyden's children
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: have been blamed for driving his wife's assistant to commit suicide.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: According to a bombshell lawsuit, those stories and more today Monday,
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: September twenty second, and Caitlin Becker and this is the
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: New York postcast. He's a martyr.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: That's just part of how President Trump helped lay Charlie
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Kirk Torest in front of a football stadium filled with
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: mourners in Arizona. The President described the shock he felt
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: when he learned of Kirk's death and said he believed
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: that Kirk was killed because he was winning on what
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: he called progressive college campuses. Trump also shared the last
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: words Charlie said to him, quote, please, sir, save Chicago.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: The President promised to do just that, as he has
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: for several weeks now, to send the National Guard and
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: federal agents to the city to kirk crime. The most
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: emotional moments, though, as you'd expect, they came from Kirk's widow, Erica,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: my husband, Charlie.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: He wanted to save.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Young men just like the one who took his life.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: That man, that young man, I forgive him.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Other speakers who took the stage included Donald Trump, Junior
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Vice President J. D. Vance,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: who ended his speech by speaking right to Charlie saying quote,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: I love you, my friend. We've got it from here
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: now to New Hampshire, where one couple's fairy tale day
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: turned into an absolute nightmare when a gunman stormed into
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: the sky Meadow country Club in Nashua and opened fire
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: during their wedding, leaving one dead and several others injured.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Twenty three year old Hunter Nadau was later idd as
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: the alleged shooter armed with a handgun. One wedding guest
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: who was killed is being hailed a hero. Witnesses say
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Robert de Caesar went after the gunman as soon as
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: he kicked through the door of the dining room in
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: an attempt to protect his family. The father of two
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: was shot and killed, while two others were injured by
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: the shooter. Other injuries were sustained as roughly one hundred
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: wedding guests ran for cover. One witness said it appeared
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: as if the shooter was specifically going after De Caesar,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: but police haven't indicated whether or not he was actually targeted.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Another witnesses reported nadal shouted free Palestine during the shooting.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: The alleged shooter was promptly taken into custody. He's been
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: charged with second degree murder and is set to be
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: arranged later today, and while Nado's motive is unclear at
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: this point, his apparent shouting of free Palestine suggests this
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: might be the latest instance of the polarizing topic turning
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: violent here in the US, but globally the tide is
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: taking a different term. This week marks the beginning of
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: the high profile meeting of the UN General Assembly in
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: New York. The UK, Canada, and Australia all took the
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: opportunity to officially recognize a Palestinian state, and while the
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: move was largely expected, it was still met with outrage
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Late night host Jimmy
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Kimmel's representatives are reportedly in discussions with Disney over how
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: his situation post Charlie Kirk comments and subsequent indefinite suspension
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: can be resolved. Their goal is for Kimmel to be
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: able to resume taping and get back on the air.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: The Sideline star is said to be concerned for his crew,
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: according to sources who talked to Vanity Fair, and what
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: a permanent cancelation would mean for their livelihoods. And Insider
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: notes that a lot of them are still trying to
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: recover from the twenty twenty three actors strike that took
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: the show off the air, which stopped paychecks. Meanwhile, Kimmel
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: got some surprising support I guess we'll call it from
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Republican Senator Ted Cruz. While the Texas lawmaker was careful
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: to note that he was not a fan of Kimmel's,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: he also criticized FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr's threats to revoke
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: ABC's broadcast license as something out of a quote mafioso playbook.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Here's some of what he said on his podcast on Friday.
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: I hate what Jimmy Kimmel said. I am thrilled that
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: he was fired. But let me tell you, if the
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: government gets in the business of saying we don't kikay
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: what you the media have said, we're going to ban
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: you from the airwaves if you don't say what we like,
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: that will end up bad for conservatives.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: President Trump spent part of his weekend calling for former
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: FBI Director James Comey, Senator Adam Schiff, and New York
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Attorney General Letitia James to be prosecuted by the Justice
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Department swiftly saying all three are quote guilty as hell,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: but nothing is going to be done. Guilty as hell
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: of what he didn't say, but the President also claimed
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: to have reviewed thirty statements and posts, saying Attorney General
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Pam Bondi's team at the DOJ is quote all talk,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: no action. The President has sung the praises of Bondi
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: several times since taking office for a second term, but
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: now he's pressuring her to do more to prosecute people
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: perceived as his enemies. The President complained that Bondie's Justice
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Department nominated a quote Democrats supported US attorney in Virginia.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: That man, Eric Sebert, had his nomination withdrawn over the
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: weekend and was replaced by Trump's former attorney Lindsay Halligan.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: So is Bondi really in the hot seed? And should
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: the people Trump name checked be worried too? The Post's
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: political reporter Ryan King has been following all of this,
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: and he joins me, Now, so Ryan, let's start with
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Pam Bondi. The President previously was a Bondie stand, praising
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: her work for the DC crime crackdown and his plans
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: for the kind of sequel that he wanted to see
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: in Memphis. Now he's taking jobs that are at truth
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Social and then an hour later praising her again. He's
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: hot and he's cold. So what exactly is Pam Bondy's
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: status in Trump World?
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I think President Trump clearly put her on notice.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: He made clear later on that he is supporting her
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: and still believes that she's doing a great job, but
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: he made sure to list out a few complaints that
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: he had with her, particularly over the DOJ's handling of
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: investigations into three of his rivals. In particular, he was
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: also unhappy with how she handled the federal Attorney in
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: the Eastern District of Virginia, Eric Sebert, who of course
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: is in charge of or had been in charge of,
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: overseeing investigation unto Letitia James.
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: Trump recently over the weekend moved to oust him.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: And it was, you know, pretty dramatic for the President
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: to go on truth Social and to criticize the DJ
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: for not being more aggressive in investigating his rivals. Now,
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: he did again walk it back in a subsequent truth
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: Social post, but then to reporters when he was questioned
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: about this, he said that he just wants to get
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: these issues resolved, and he said that he thinks it's
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: just taking too long, regardless of whether or not there's
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: evidence to ultimately prosecute them, he just wants this issue
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: to be settled now. As for Bondie standing in magaworld, generally,
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: I'd say it's pretty fair to say that she's.
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: Underwater right now.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: She might be okay with President Trump, but you know,
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: on somewhat thin nice with him, But like with magastars
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: such as Steve Bannon, Megan Kelly, Laura Lumar, etc. It's
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: very clear that they're not happy with her because of
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: a number of things that she's done, particularly or her
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: handling of the Epstein dr and in more recently her
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: suggestion that the government can go after hate speech.
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: She said that last week, and.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: I kicked up a bit of a firestorm, and there
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: are multiple Conservice stars that called for her to be fired.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's really two lenses to view her through right now,
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: her relationship with the President and the Trump administration and
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: with the President's base and the MAGA following, so that
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: there is a bit of a differentiation there.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: You mentioned Letitia James there, and I want to dig
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: a little deeper into the President's beef with the New
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: York ag. The issue here is also connected to the
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Virginia US attorney drama, as you said, So can you
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: just explain a little bit of what the heck is
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: going on here? Where does the real issue where's it rooted?
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and this.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: Really seemed to be the issue that Kado was big
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: undercurrent in the President's criticism of bonding. So Latitia James
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: had of course overseen a big investigation into the Trump
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: organization and ultimately brought forward a civil case against his
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: business hire, and that resulted in a half a billion
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: dollar fine that was recently overturned by an appeals court.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: But that of course angered President Trump and the federal
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: prosecutor that had been in charge of investigatingists, Eric Seburn,
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: who the President recently ousted. Trump was complaining that he
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: was basically dragging his feet in this investigation.
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: It wasn't being more aggressive.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: And his investigation into Leachisia James really revolved around accusations
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: that surfaced in April of mortgage fraud and it's really
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: technical stuff. But the President felt that the dj just
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: has not been making enough progress quickly enough on that case,
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: and he was particularly concerned that that federal prosecutor that
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: he ousted had the support of two Democrats, so he
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: was ripping him as a rhino, and he was kind
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: of blaming camp Bondi for him being in that acting role, and.
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: He recently, of course replaced him over the weekend.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: And again this is just really I think the big
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: under current between the presidents slashing out at Pamboonda.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: I want to just turn your attention to the other
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: names that the President rattled off in that truth Social
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: kind of tirade that he had Shift and Comy. So
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: what is President Trump asking of Bondi in those cases?
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he was a little bit less specific, but I
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: think his general complaint was that those cases are still
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: being too slow, that the dj isn't making enough progress
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: fast enough on those fronts. So this includes accusations of
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: mortgage fraud by Adam Schiff. Now Schiff, like Latist James Says,
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: of course denied this. It also includes Russia Gate concerns
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: about James Comy. All three of these people have been
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: really really prominent adversaries of President Trump, particularly during his
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: last administration and in the time in between his two
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: terms in the White House.
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: So it is pretty significant.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: And I should know also that President Trump really had
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: beefed with his prior to attorney generals during its first administration.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: He really had big beef with Jeff Sessions and then
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: with Bill Barr. So he does have a history of
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: kin clashing with the head of the DOJ.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: He definitely does seem to not only have a history
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: of the clashes, but that kind of rollercoaster of up
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: and down, up and down, up and down, support not supporting,
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: support not supporting. So I guess we are seeing a
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: bit of rinse and repeat as we have seen previously.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Thank you so much for joining us, Ryan, Yes, thank you.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: A new lawsuit is making disturbing claims that the children
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: of Oregon Senator Ron Wyden bullied a personal assistant working
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: for the family to the point of suicide. Brandon O'Brien
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: worked for the Democratic senator's wife, Nancy, owner of the
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: famous Strand bookstore in New York, and according to court dox,
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: he was often tasked with taking care of the couple's children. Now,
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: when I said the claims in this case were disturbing,
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: I not only meant the suicide itself, but also the
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: twisted things the family is accused of doing skip ahead
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: sixty seconds if you don't want to hear it. The suit,
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: which was filed by Brandon's husband, claims the Widens, then
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: ten year old docter, allegedly exposed herself to O'Brien, making
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: quote sexually explicit comments and asked about his quote intimate
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: life during school drop offs. The senator's teenaged son is
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: accused in the suit of taunting O'Brien with homophobic slurs
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: and threatening him physically, and in one alleged violet encounter,
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: Nancy Widen reportedly tried to mace her son in an
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: effort to restrain him, but hit O'Brien instead. Now Widen's
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: lawyers are seeking to get this lawsuit tossed, calling it
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: quote baseless and deeply misguided, riddled with false accusations. Now
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: O'Brien quit in frustration in September of twenty twenty four,
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: and at the time, Nancy Widen accused him of stealing
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: six hundred and fifty thousand dollars. He then took his
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: own life this past May, and finally today, a dating
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: app love story Maybe a woman on Hinge is ready
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: to play ball with one suitor for a very interesting reason.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: This single lady posted a picture of herself at a
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: baseball game on the app, and she asked prospective dates
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: if they could tell where she was. One guy replied
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: not just with the location, but the date of the
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: game and even the inning during which the photo was snapped.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: His bizarrely specific guess was right. The location arguably pretty
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: easy to guess any Yankee fan, and many Yankee haters
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: could easily see it was taken at Yankee Stadium. The
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: rest of it was some CIA level work. The guy
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: deduced the rest based on the fact that the Baltimore
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Orioles in the field include their catcher and pitcher and
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: the time of the year on the clothing being worn
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: in the stands. Yeah, it's a lot. The online reactions
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: were split between a for effort and s for scare
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: at the girl away. Now, the post was not able
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: to confirm whether or not that you actually ever went
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: on a date, But my fingers are crossed, both for
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: their potential love match and for her head not ending
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: up in his freezer. Maybe he just likes puzzles, Maybe
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: he's really smart. Maybe he'd be ace at trivia or
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: an escape room. Maybe she'll need to escape from shackles
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: and his basement. Love is a gamble, my friends, but
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: there is no gamble with this podcast though, for you
