The Megyn Kelly Show - Clinton Asked to Bring Epstein & Maxwell to Royal Wedding, Why Don't Cops Have Leads In Brown Univ Shooting？

00:00:00.000 Hi, Megyn Kelly listeners. It's Caitlin Becker, host of the New York Post's morning news podcast,

00:00:05.540 the NY Postcast. It's a mix of the headlines you need and the stories you actually talk about with

00:00:11.120 your friends, like only the New York Post can deliver, dropping every weekday morning at 6am

00:00:16.080 Eastern. Take a listen. I think you'll enjoy this episode. Plus two, the unbelievable ask

00:00:22.980 Bill Clinton made to the King of Morocco, bringing his good pals Jeffrey Epstein and

00:00:27.400 Ghislaine Maxwell with him to the monarch's wedding. And the Post has exclusive proof.

00:00:34.060 Plus, after five whole days, the cops have made zero progress in the shooting at Brown University.

00:00:40.000 Wait until you hear what they admitted to. Those stories and much more today,

00:00:44.060 Thursday, December 18th. I'm Caitlin Becker, and this is the New York Postcast.

00:00:50.200 The manhunt for the Brown University shooter is not going well. Police in Providence,

00:00:55.580 Rhode Island admitted Wednesday evening that the assailant, quote, could be anywhere. While the

00:01:01.360 primary focus is finding the gunman, police seem to be at a loss as to how to do that. And the public

00:01:07.180 is wondering how they have seemingly bungled this case so spectacularly. Now, for starters, there's the

00:01:13.600 issue of security cameras. The university has about 1,200 of them, just few, if any, on the back of the

00:01:20.300 building where the shooting took place and where the shooter exited. Now, cops say that's likely

00:01:25.260 because that part of the building is older. But the president's official campus residence is even

00:01:31.780 older, and the Post spotted three cameras there on Google Street View. Then, remember, a lot of hay was

00:01:38.580 made and time wasted shortly after the incident when authorities captured a, quote, person of interest.

00:01:44.580 Cops said they found a gun with a unique laser attached, and they seemed to have their man.

00:01:50.300 That was until they released him after hours and hours and hours of questioning, time spent not

00:01:57.060 looking for the real killer. And by now, you've probably seen their next person of interest,

00:02:02.140 this slightly pudgy man with a unique way of walking. Investigators growing desperate for any lead at

00:02:10.100 all have also released another grainy photo of someone wearing a backpack. This person was seen

00:02:17.060 on video simply walking nearby that pudgy guy I just mentioned. Video released by authorities show

00:02:22.560 the person of interest spotting this other man with a backpack and then sprinting down a side street.

00:02:27.180 Then the guy with the backpack turns down the same street and begins running too, same direction.

00:02:32.140 Now, if you're confused about who's who with the backpack and the weird walk and the involvement and

00:02:35.900 running, me too. And that is cause for concern about the state of this investigation. Cops now want to

00:02:42.100 know why both of them took off heading the same way. Remember those Trump accounts the president

00:02:47.420 announced recently, the ones that Michael and Susan Dell contributed a ton of cash to? Well,

00:02:53.340 another billionaire is ponying up some of his family's dough too. Hedge fund manager Ray Dalio is

00:03:00.660 pledging 250 bucks for 300,000 kids in his home state of Connecticut as part of these Trump accounts

00:03:07.900 that will launch on July 4th. The announcement came ahead of President Trump's address to the nation

00:03:12.320 last night, where he outlined the economic accomplishments of the first 11 months of his

00:03:16.520 second term. Eleven months ago, I inherited a mess and I'm fixing it. And our country was laughed at

00:03:23.040 from all over the world, but they're not laughing anymore. Over the past 11 months, we have brought

00:03:30.480 more positive change to Washington than any administration in American history.

00:03:36.440 The president presented charts highlighting price increases that came under President Biden and

00:03:41.340 decreases that have happened under his administration, like changes in wages and the employment level

00:03:46.640 for American-born citizens. And he promised more positive changes, specifically to what he referred to

00:03:52.740 as the quote, unaffordable care act or Obamacare, and reiterated his desire to have health care

00:03:58.480 subsidies go directly to American consumers. He also teased what he called the most aggressive

00:04:03.660 housing reform plans in history for 2026. And for the military, the president announced a warrior

00:04:09.780 dividend. It's basically a Christmas present of $1,776 headed to service members within the next week.

00:04:16.240 This brief speech under 20 minutes was kind of like a mini state of the union. And he ended

00:04:22.500 by going back to where his whole movement started.

00:04:25.240 We're putting America first and we are making America great again. Very simple. We are making

00:04:30.480 America great again.

00:04:33.420 I'm about to tell you the never before reported story about former President Bill Clinton and how

00:04:39.100 he asked Moroccan King Mohammed VI if he could bring a couple of pals along to the king's wedding,

00:04:45.580 Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

00:04:47.520 As one does, Clinton caught a ride on Epstein's Lolita Express private jet and then posed with the 1.00

00:04:53.780 sex trafficking couple for a photo exclusively obtained by the post. I will link to that photo

00:04:58.260 in the show notes. Chelsea Clinton, who was studying at Oxford at the time, flew separately,

00:05:02.560 but according to a source, insisted that the photo, which she is also in, be taken at this super

00:05:07.560 fancy affair. Now, Hillary Clinton, then a New York senator, was not in attendance.

00:05:11.800 This bizarre situation comes to light just as time is running out for the Department of Justice to

00:05:18.480 make the Epstein files public. Finally. Now, this unusual, if not rude, request to bring some plus

00:05:25.160 twos to the affair apparently didn't faze the king. Clinton, Epstein and Maxwell reportedly sat

00:05:31.660 with the monarch at the fancy wedding dinner. Nick Reiner, facing murder charges for the death of his

00:05:44.000 parents, Robin Michelle, made his first appearance in court on Wednesday. He was shackled and dressed

00:05:49.800 in this bright blue anti-suicide smock. The 32-year-old Nepo baby stared straight ahead, offered no hint of

00:05:58.360 emotion during this brief appearance. His only words were, yes, your honor. And this was when he

00:06:02.740 was asked if he waived his right to a speedy trial. Defendants usually do that when their defense team

00:06:07.940 wants or needs just more time to get their case together. Both prosecutors and Reiner's high-powered

00:06:14.440 defense attorney, Alan Jackson, agreed to push his formal arraignment to January 7th. And the judge

00:06:20.180 also granted the defense's request that no photos be allowed for yesterday's five-minute hearing.

00:06:25.140 Rob and Michelle Reiner's other children, Jake and Romy, broke their silence on the family tragedy

00:06:31.140 without any mention of their brother. The pair released a statement that read in part, quote,

00:06:35.940 the horrific and devastating loss of our parents, Rob and Michelle Reiner, is something that no one

00:06:40.920 should ever experience. They weren't just our parents, they were our best friends. They thanked

00:06:45.940 family, friends, and the public for their condolences and their support. And then of course they asked for

00:06:50.180 privacy. Now their statement comes in light of new details about just how Rob and Michelle

00:06:55.760 were found. For that and more, I'm joined by The Post's deputy managing editor, Michael Zenni,

00:07:00.640 who has been following this case from the start. Michael, there's new reporting about the discovery

00:07:05.020 of the bodies and the timeline of the crime. We know that Romy was the one who walked in to find this

00:07:11.180 just gut-wrenching crime scene. What else do we know?

00:07:16.740 Yeah, so I think there's a few things to parse here. First of all, we're trying really hard to

00:07:24.460 piece together the exact kind of whereabouts of Rob and Michelle, but also Nick Reiner. We know that

00:07:33.100 there was a massive blow up at this Conan O'Brien party. It's unclear what time they left. Then Nick

00:07:40.400 is seen around 12, 15 a.m. on a gas station surveillance camera, and then he checks into a

00:07:47.940 hotel room about four hours later. It is not until, you know, like 12 hours after that, that his parents

00:07:58.080 are discovered dead. And it's actually, it's not until a masseuse who is scheduled to come on Sunday

00:08:05.840 rings the doorbell, there's no response. And that's when the daughter Romy was called and discovered

00:08:14.120 her dad dead. Just the thought of how that poor girl is going to recover from this, she probably 1.00

00:08:22.280 never will. It's just every twist and turn seems to be worse and worse and worse. And that party at

00:08:27.980 Conan O'Brien's house that you just mentioned, it kind of feels like the beginning of the end of

00:08:33.000 the tragic night. They had this big blow up argument, like you said, Rob Reiner and Nick

00:08:37.880 Reiner in the hours before the murders at the house. People took notice. It definitely disrupted

00:08:42.800 things. So what else happened at the party that we know about? Yeah. So first of all, we should say

00:08:49.420 that he, that Nick was not invited to this party, that Rob had actually reached out to Conan, according

00:08:58.760 to the reporting and asked if he could bring his son because he didn't want him to be alone.

00:09:04.440 Then at the party, what we're hearing from multiple guests who were there is that he was acting really

00:09:12.160 strangely. And the, and the big thing that we're hearing is that he was asking people three

00:09:17.520 questions. What is your first name? What is your last name? And are you famous? Which is, you know,

00:09:24.060 if you in this world, I can only imagine is a very strange thing to, I mean, it's a strange thing to

00:09:29.260 ask at any normal party, much less at a party with a lot of A-list celebrities, right?

00:09:35.760 And considering the fact that his father's best friend is Billy Crystal, who's basically like an

00:09:41.320 uncle to the family, like this is a person who was around famous people their entire life. So to ask

00:09:47.000 that question strikes me as odd. Yeah. And, and it seems that, so what we're hearing is one person in

00:09:55.680 particular was not amused with this and that is comedian Bill Hader. And he reportedly just told Nick

00:10:04.960 that he was in a private conversation and that kind of resulted in this massive blowup, a massive

00:10:12.000 public fight that led to Rob and Michelle and Nick all leaving the party together. And it's shortly

00:10:20.580 thereafter then that we believe that, that they were, they were murdered. Now there's been a lot

00:10:26.520 of buzz about the high powered attorney that's representing Nick Reiner, Alan Jackson. He just got

00:10:32.200 Karen Reed off of, you know, her charges in Massachusetts. He's a big name in Los Angeles.

00:10:38.700 He is not cheap and he's very, very good. So how was he able to get him on board and who is paying

00:10:47.020 those legal fees? You know, this is, this is your $10 million question, right?

00:10:53.540 I say $10 million because that's what he says that Karen Reed's case basically would have cost

00:11:01.620 if he had paid her full freight. But the thing that we know about Alan Jackson is that he loves

00:11:08.740 the publicity, right? And this is his biggest case yet. You know, he's the guy who put away Phil

00:11:14.900 Spector. He's defended successfully Kevin Spacey. Obviously he became a true crime legend,

00:11:23.180 with his defense of Karen Reed, but this is going to be the biggest one yet. So what's not clear is

00:11:31.280 sort of how much money he's commanding from Nick and where Nick might be getting the money, whether

00:11:38.620 there's, you know, a trust or whether he's, you know, pledging a portion of the inheritance or, or what?

00:11:45.680 I have questions of course, about just the probate of it all and the inheritance and how that works.

00:11:50.460 If you're potentially held legally culpable for the death. I mean, there are so many other layers

00:11:56.460 to this story and we're going to get to every twist and turn of it. Thanks to the wonderful

00:12:02.020 reporting that your reporters are doing at the post. Your team has done an exceptional job on

00:12:06.640 this story. Michael Zenni, thank you so much for joining us. Thank you. FBI Deputy Director Dan

00:12:12.580 Bongino took to X to announce he'll be leaving his post as the Bureau's number two man in January.

00:12:17.720 The announcement didn't come as a huge surprise considering it came after reports that he was

00:12:23.700 already packing up his office and saying goodbye to his staff. Now, President Trump weighed in

00:12:28.560 suggesting that the former TV host might be heading back to his roots. Dan, Dan did a great job. I think

00:12:33.860 he wants to go back to his show. Bongino considered leaving the Bureau back in July after a heated

00:12:39.000 exchange with Attorney General Pam Bondi over the handling of the Epstein files. Before joining the FBI,

00:12:45.180 Bongino supported Epstein conspiracy theories, including the suggestion that the pedophile was

00:12:51.120 murdered in his cell and didn't actually take his own life. Now, it's widely believed that Andrew

00:12:56.240 Bailey, co-deputy director and former Missouri Attorney General, will assume Bongino's role.

00:13:03.160 67-year-old Charles Foner is scheduled to report to prison next month to begin a four-year sentence

00:13:08.960 for shooting and killing a man named Cody Gonzalez. Sounds horrible. And trust me, this story is.

00:13:15.020 But by the time I'm done telling you everything, you're probably going to be on team Charles

00:13:20.020 Foner. Back in 2023, Foner, a likable, chatty New York City doorman, went out for a pack of cigarettes.

00:13:27.280 Crime in his queen's neighborhood was on the rise, so he brought with him a revolver just in case.

00:13:31.780 Now, when he returned home, an unhinged man who turned out to have a mile-long rap sheet was

00:13:38.560 banging on the door of his building. The man, Cody Gonzalez, turned around and then tried to mug

00:13:44.420 Foner. He wanted his phone and those cigarettes. When we talked to Foner, he told the Post,

00:13:50.080 quote, he kept coming closer and clearly he was going to attack me. And that is exactly what it

00:13:56.580 looked like. The would-be mugger was seen charging at Foner in security footage. Now,

00:14:02.040 Foner had his gun out in that exact moment and fired, killing Gonzalez. He then called 911 and

00:14:07.560 cooperated with authorities. But here's where things really go off the rails. This wasn't a

00:14:12.380 self-defense case. It's a weapons case, which just makes it all the more enraging that this man is

00:14:19.820 being sent away at all. Foner says the district attorney who charged him with criminal weapons charges

00:14:25.860 and not Gonzalez's death is only interested in the politics, using him to boast about getting

00:14:31.400 guns off the street. He told us, quote, they're ignoring the dangerous people committing crimes

00:14:36.100 every day. Now, as he gets ready for life on the inside, Foner sadly said, quote, I have friends

00:14:41.540 in Queens who might move or they might be dead. I mean, I might not come out. Make this make sense to

00:14:50.580 me because from where I'm sitting, based on what I know, none of this makes a lick of sense.

00:14:58.400 But you know what does make sense? Bringing you this podcast every single day. So make sure you
