Hey, Bill O'Reilly.com listeners, I'd like you to check out a new morning news podcast that's worthy of your time. Host Caitlin Becker delivers the headlines you need, politics, business, national news, plus the pop culture and human interest stories people are talking about. It's called the New York Postcast, from the New York Post, obviously. Give this episode a listen. I think you'll like it. Terror in Dallas as a gunman opens fire on an ice processing facility, killing one and seriously injuring two more. I have the latest on the search for answers. Plus, a federal judge tells the DOJ to zip it on social media about the Luigi Mangione case. Threatening fines if they keep posting things, she says, could poison the jury pool.

And one of the station groups still refusing to air Jimmy Kimmel is speaking out. I'll tell you what they said about his non-apology. Those stories and more today. Thursday, September 25th. I'm Caitlin Becker, and this is the New York Postcast. I'm going to get to the Dallas ICE shooting a little later in the podcast. A motive is still under investigation, but anti-ice rhetoric is now part of that equation. But first, I want to talk about a case with a motive we know a bit more about. The case against Luigi Mangione, well, at least one of his three cases. Mangione is accused of assassinating United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. possibly over his anger at denied insurance payments. While the Manhattan judge overseeing his federal case on that charge is furious that

DOJ staffers can't seem to shut up about it. Judge Margaret Garrett says social media posts from two high-ranking staffers in the Department of Justice, quote, appeared to be in direct violation of rules against publicity that could taint a jury pool. The judge warned that additional rule breaking at the DOJ could lead to fines for the department's leadership. The ruling mentioned an ex post. by DOJ spokesman Chad Gilmartin, referencing a clip of President Trump saying that Mangione, quote,

shot someone in the back as clear as you're looking at me. Now, Gilmartin in the since deleted post, said that the president was absolutely right. That same post was reposted by the chief of staff to deputy attorney general Todd Blanche. Now, I'm sure you see the issue here. The video does show Thompson getting shot, to quote the president, clear as you're looking at me. But whether the shooter was Mangione is up to a jury. Now to Nepo Babies at the UN. Make it make sense. Violet Affleck, daughter of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, delivered an address to the United Nations about the importance of mask mandates to prevent a new surge of COVID-19. The Yale University freshman and youth advocates spoke from behind a K-N-95 mask as part of an initiative called Healthy Indoor Air, a Global Call to Action.

Now, Violet, who herself contracted a serious post-viral infection in 2019, argued that the world is ignoring what she called the, quote, ongoing pandemic and said mask mandates were dropped too quickly. For adults, the relentless beat of back to normal, ignoring downplaying and concealing both the prevalence of airborne transmission and the threat of long COVID manifested in a series of choices. Young people lacked both real choice in the matter and information about what was being chosen for us. Next, our media group, one of the station groups who preempted Jimmy Kimmel's return this week is breaking their silence. The company said in a statement, yesterday that they will continue to block Kimmel's show from their stations after the late-night

hosts emotional non-apology, but added that they're having, quote, productive discussions with executives at the Walt Disney company with a focus on ensuring the program reflects and respects the diverse interests of the communities we serve. Next, our owns 33 ABC affiliate stations across the country. Sinclair, a similar station group, also preempted Kimmel on their 36 ABC stations. Together, the two groups make up about a quarter of ABC's national household reach. Now, as of Wednesday night, Sinclair had yet to follow up with more info about their long-term plans after Kimmel's return. An anti-ice gunman opened fire on an immigration processing facility in Dallas on Wednesday, killing one and injuring two others before turning the gun on himself. The body of 29-year-old Joshua John was found on a rooftop of.

across from the scene, and near his body was ammunition with the words anti-ice scrawled on it. While authorities believe, based on the message on those bullets, that John's targets were agents, his victims were migrants who were being transported into the facility at the time. Now, the shooter's brother told NBC News that he didn't believe that Joshua was, quote, politically interested and said he didn't have strong feelings about ice. But the anti-ice climate in the country and the inscriptions on his ammunition have others questioning that. President Trump posted in part, quote, I'm calling on all Democrats to stop this rhetoric against ICE and America's law enforcement. Texas Senator Ted Cruz begged politicians to

stop what he called demonizing ICE while Homeland Security Secretary Kristy Knoem said the Dallas incident, quote, must serve as a wake-up call to the far left. New York Post senior reporter Chris Nisi has been digging into all of this and he joins me now. Chris, let's start with what happened yesterday? What was the facility? Where was the shooter? What do authorities say happened? So, Caitlin, the shooting took place in the early morning hours at the Dallas Field Office for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, better known as ICE. It's primarily an office building for rank-and-file ICE employees performing administrative tasks, think desks, cubicles, coffee machines, and the like. But the facility also contains a processing center for illegal immigrants who have been

arrested and are being booked into ICE custody. The shooter who authorities have identified as 29-year-old Joshua John was perched on the nearby rooftop, sniper style, and open-fired at the building, striking a van that was in a sally port on the side of the structure, which contained a number of ICE agents and detainees. Three of the detainees were struck, killing one and critically injuring two others before John took his own life. Now, Chris, let's talk a little bit about the political climate. Immigration is, of course, a hot-button issue. And I had mentioned what some on the right are saying. Meanwhile, California Governor Gavin Newsom called ICE the, quote, private domestic army of an authoritarian government. Is all of this rhetoric leading to more acts of violence? So I'm hesitant to draw a straight line between specific rhetoric and acts of violence. However, there has been a prolonged pattern, particularly during the Trump administration's immigration crackdown, where elected officials on the left are using rather strong and arguably at times, over.

to the top language about immigration agents and agencies. For instance, throwing around comparisons to Nazis, to the Gestapo or the KGB, you know, with this kind of continuous drumbeat, conservatives have started coming out and telling these officials, many of whom are members of Congress, to dial down the rhetoric before more unhinged people with access to guns decide that an act of violence is the only solution. You know, part of this feels to me like, I don't know, macabre d'éjave, another shooting with political messages on ammunition. The first one like this that I personally covered this year

was the United Healthcare CEO shooting and the words that were written on the bullets there. Then more recently, we saw something similar with Charlie Kirk. Is this becoming, I guess, for lack of a better word, a trend? I suppose three instances of what you describe in a matter of months could be seen as a trend. Each shooter or alleged shooter, I should say. More than likely saw media coverage

talking about their predecessors, notes or statements on the bullets. So it's certainly not far fetched to think that they were inspired to do the same, knowing the attention that it would bring them. You know, copycatism isn't uncommon with violent criminals, especially murderers. But it seems that with each of these cases, the messages seem to get a little bit more muddled as they progressed from Luigi Mangione's direct references to the healthcare industry on his alleged bullets to Tyler Robinson basically writing memes on his, allegedly. And now Joshua John, just writing the words anti-ice on his. So if it is a trend, it may be at the point of diminishing returns at this point.

And hopefully, one, we're not going to continue to talk about. I feel like all we have been talking about recently is just one shooting after another. Chris Necy, thank you so much for staying on top of this. Thanks, Caitlin. Have you ever wanted to drink the tears of your enemy? Well, a freshman New York congressman apparently does, and he's doing it straight up with a twist. Democratic rep Josh Riley invested in a DC-based distillery that sells politically branded spirits like fascist tears vodka and dissent gin. The company, Republic Restoratives Distillery, also uses the tagline, quote, we prefer our ice crushed, like ice the frozen water and ice the immigrations and customs

enforcement. Get it? Seems like not so great timing for that one. Riley represents a New York district that stretches from the Hudson Valley west to Binghamton, and according to his financial disclosures, he owns between $1,000 and $15,000 worth of shares in this company. The liquor maker was co-founded by a former chief of staff to Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, and the distillery, based in northeast D.C., a few miles from the White House, was founded in 2016 and claims to be, quote, the largest crowdfunded distillery in U.S. history. Don't we all drink to forget about politics, or is that just me? Moving on here.

Now, this story is going to, unfortunately, make your blood. Boyle. An elderly man working as an usher at a rap concert in Kansas City is recovering from a massive beating at the hands of a teenage fan. Thomas Schlengi was working the NBA Young Boy concert at the T-Mobile Center this week when he asked a teen to move for the most reasonable reason you can think of. He wasn't sitting in his assigned seat. This happens all the time. We've all seen it. Ultimately, you just get up and you move to the right seat. No harm, no foul. Well, not this time. footage shows a teenage boy throw this poor man into a row of seats before unleashing a barrage of punches onto him before someone steps in and puts a stop to it.

Now, police arrested the teen but then released him to his parents while they investigate the incident. Schlengi is scheduled to meet with authorities tomorrow and the investigation continues. I wasn't kidding, right? Blood absolutely boiling at this. I don't know about you, but I've definitely done that with the seat many times. Sometimes you're accidentally in the wrong seat. you're just trying to get a better view, you hope they're empty, but never do you pile drive a worker who's trying to move you. That should be obvious. Oh, I digress. Friends, do me a solid before you head out, like and follow the New York Postcast wherever you get your podcast. And on YouTube, I would greatly appreciate it.
