'You're like the most genuine dude': Comic Bert Kreischer gives hilarious, loving speech to Jameis Winston during Super Bowl



Comedian Bert Kresicher gave a laugh-out-loud yet emotional speech to NFL quarterback Jameis Winston while watching the Super Bowl in New Orleans, telling the athlete he had cherished the time they spent together.

Kreischer and Winston were hooked up with microphones for NFL on Fox while watching Super Bowl LIX, and their banter turned into a friendship throughout the show. The relationship didn't get off to the best start, however, as Winston wasn't exactly sure how to say Kreischer's name.

"What's up, everybody? We are sitting here in the NOLA, the Big Easy at Super Bowl 59. The biggest event in America. Sitting right next to Bert Kershaw. How do you pronounce your last name, Bert?" Winston asked.

"Bert Kreischer," the comedian responded, already laughing.

"Well, you need no introduction. You know what I'm saying?" Winston hilariously replied.

The two bonded over the course of the game, discussing the team's entrances and reacting to plays by Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Soon, the pair found common ground over the fact they both have a tendency to become very emotional, with Kreischer then seemingly having a revelation about football in the United States.

"I get in these places, I realize, this is kinda like American church," Kreischer pontificated. "This is our Sunday spent here. It's as beautiful as the ... freaking Grand Canyon. But it's as large in it's the same thing. You know? I love these places."

Winston reciprocated, saying watching the production begin put him in an "emotional state."

"Just seeing how everybody was like ... all the cameras were powered up to watch them come out and take on the field, man. And you said it was like the Roman Coliseum matchup, bro. This is this game is about to be magical, bro."

Winston added, "We were just talking about where you store your treasures, they're also in your heart. ... But somebody gonna leave heartbroken."

'You've been an inspiration.'

Before the game ended, Kreischer opened up to the quarterback even more and hilariously told Winston that the favorite part of the game had been their new relationship.

"My favorite part of the weekend is this right here. I've had so much fun with you, man. It's so fun. You're so, you know, like, genuine people, and then there's genuine, genuine people. You're like the most genuine dude I've ever met."

Kresicher was not done and told the Cleveland Browns player how much he admired his discipline.

"You're not a talk-s***-behind-someone's-back kinda guy. You don't curse. You don't drink. You don't watch porn. You're a good, good, good guy. And I'm so not that person," the comedian added. "You've been an inspiration. You are a great person."

While it is unclear if alcohol fueled Kreischer's emotional rant, the two shared a tequila shot at the end of the game.

Kreischer has been a hit with football fans in recent years, even performing a punt, pass, and kick competition with other comedians in Las Vegas before the Super Bowl in 2024.

Winston, on the other hand, warmed up for the Super Bowl at New Orleans' famous Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop Bar, where he searched for treasures and asked why a woman would bring her 16-month-old baby to a pirate bar.

Secret Service to use drones during Trump inauguration



The U.S. Secret Service intends to use drones before and on Inauguration Day as part of heightened security measures in place in the wake of the recent terrorist attack in New Orleans.

On January 3, USSS special agent in charge of the Washington field office Matt McCool announced that drones would be part of larger security protocols implemented in Washington, D.C., throughout the month of January, especially during the swearing in of the new Congress, the funeral events for the late President Jimmy Carter, and the upcoming inauguration.

"While I advise everyone that the Secret Service will use drones as part of our comprehensive security plan, do not be alarmed if you see these assets during the upcoming events or training in the days ahead," McCool said less than two weeks ago.

McCool then reiterated those remarks at a press conference on Monday. "The Secret Service's comprehensive security plan will continue to use drones as part of our protective [plan]," he said, according to Susan Crabtree of RealClearPolitics. "Do not be alarmed if you see these assets during the inauguration or training in the days ahead."

'Every four years, the District is proud to support the peaceful transition of power.'

In a statement Monday, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser (D), who recently met with President-elect Donald Trump, said local and federal law enforcement had been preparing for the inauguration for a year. "Every four years, the District is proud to support the peaceful transition of power," she said. "We take pride in this responsibility, and we’re grateful to our federal partners, local agencies, and community members who work together to ensure a safe and secure event."

In addition to drones, law enforcement officials plan to use high visibility patrols, fencing, and barriers to keep the area safe.

The Secret Service went public about plans to use drones after an Islamic terrorist, 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar of Texas, apparently drove a rental truck through a crowd of people celebrating on Bourbon Street in New Orleans in the early morning hours of New Year's Day. The murderous rampage left 15 dead and 35 injured.

Then just a few hours later, Master Sgt. Matthew Alan Livelsberger drove a Tesla Cybertruck to the Trump hotel in Las Vegas, where the vehicle detonated. Livelsberger, 37, was later discovered dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Because the Las Vegas incident occurred so shortly after the attack in New Orleans and because of the Cybertruck's association with Elon Musk, a strong Trump ally, some speculated that Livelsberger intended to use the explosion to make a political statement.

A motive for the incident remains under investigation, but shortly before his death, Livelsberger sent an email, claiming to have insider knowledge about alleged war crimes in Afghanistan as well as the purpose behind the drones spotted flying about near the coast of New Jersey.

"What we have been seeing with 'drones' is the operational use of gravitic propulsion systems powered aircraft by most recently China in the east coast, but throughout history, the US," Livelsberger wrote. "Only we and China have this capability. Our OPEN location for this activity in the box is below. China has been launching them from the Atlantic from submarines for years, but this activity recently has picked up. As of now, it is just a show of force and they are using it similar to how they used the balloon."

The New Jersey drones, which began appearing in November, have prompted widespread concerns regarding American safety and possible government and/or foreign surveillance. While the FAA claimed earlier this year that most of the drones were actually airplanes, stars, or "authorized drones," the agency nevertheless expanded the list of areas in New Jersey where drone usage would be restricted.

New Orleans terrorist attack EXPOSES feminine leadership



New Year's Eve is a time for celebration, but unfortunately for those who gathered in New Orleans to do just that, their excitement quickly turned into horror when a crazed man drove his car through a crowd on Bourbon Street in the French Quarter.

At least 14 people were killed in the terrorist attack.

Now, the people of New Orleans need strong leadership in the wake of this atrocity, but Jason Whitlock of “Fearless” does not believe they’re getting it.

“When I watched the press conference and saw LaToya Cantrell, I can’t say she inspired a lot of confidence, and neither did the police superintendent, Anne Kirkpatrick,” Whitlock says, adding that Kirkpatrick is a “granny.”

“She’s 64 years old, she grew up in Memphis, she did her postgraduate work in the Pacific Northwest, she was hired as a cop in Oakland, was a finalist to be the top cop in Chicago before she, at age 64, landed the job to oversee the New Orleans Police Department,” Whitlock explains.


However, just six months ago, Kirkpatrick struck two pedestrians with a police vehicle.

Kirkpatrick was joined by Alethea Duncan, the assistant special agent in charge of the FBI New Orleans field office, at the press conference that followed the New Year’s Eve terrorist attack.

“Her claim to fame during this press conference was, the guy has an ISIS flag on his car, and she took to the podium, or took the microphone, and said, ‘This is not a terrorist attack.’ And everybody else is like, ‘Uh, yeah, this is a terrorist attack,’” Whitlock says.

The one thing all these leaders have in common is that they are women — and Whitlock believes that’s the first issue with their response.

“Look, I know many of you dislike me because you think I'm a sexist pig. I’m not a sexist pig; I’m just someone that believes in male leadership because male leadership actually works, and it’s how God designed,” he explains.

“And so anybody that watched these events in New Orleans and saw these three women take the microphone, you weren’t filled with confidence. ... If you were honest with yourself,” he continues, “you weren’t impressed.”

New Orleans assistant DA apparently commits suicide just days after terrorist attack



The Orleans Parish district attorney's office has been rocked by violence since ringing in 2025. Not only did an Islamic terrorist apparently murder more than a dozen people in New Orleans on New Year's Day, but just days later, an assistant district attorney reportedly took his own life.

Around 9 p.m. on Saturday, the New Orleans Police Department received a report about a man who had been found with an "apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound," an initial police report said, according to WWL. First responders then arrived at the Orleans Parish District Attorney's Office on South White Street in New Orleans and soon afterward declared the victim dead.

The victim was later identified as Ian Kersting, an assistant district attorney. He was just 34 years old.

'There will be members of our staff who will require time to cope and heal.'

The DA's office released two statements about Kersting's death, WVUE reported. The first statement described Kersting as "a beloved member of our office" and offered love and condolences to Kersting's family and friends.

"It’s important that we support each other right now, and we ask the media respect the privacy of the individuals impacted," the first statement added.

The second statement indicated that office business would be suspended on January 6 to give staff time to grieve. Grief and trauma counselors will be available to "the entire OPDA team ... in the wake of an unexpected tragedy," the second statement said.

"We extend our deepest gratitude to the judges of Criminal District Court and Juvenile Court, as well as the Orleans Public Defenders, for their extraordinary compassion and humanity during this challenging time, as there will be members of our staff who will require time to cope and heal."

The office will resume normal operations on Tuesday, the statement noted.

Kersting had been practicing law about four years at the time of his death. He was admitted to the Louisiana bar in October 2020 and later joined the Sexual Assault Kit Initiative at the DA's office. SAKI works closely with NOPD on sex-related investigations in which DNA evidence is involved, WVUE reported.

Kersting's suicide comes on the heels of the horrific massacre of a crowd of people still celebrating in the French Quarter in the early-morning hours of New Year's Day. According to reports, at around 3:15 a.m., 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar of Texas came speeding down Bourbon Street in a rental truck and mowed down dozens of pedestrians there.

At least 15 people died and 35 were injured.

Jabbar, who soon afterward died in a shoot-out with police, had an ISIS flag in his possession at the time of the incident, the FBI confirmed.

Reports from acquaintances and family indicate that Jabbar had been behaving strangely recently on account of his Muslim beliefs. Dwayne Marsh, who is married to Jabbar’s ex-wife, said Jabbar was "being all crazy" in recent months, "cutting his hair" after converting to Islam.

Jabbar's brother, Abdur, however, said that Jabbar had converted some time ago. "As far as I know he was a Muslim for most of his life," Abdur said.

"What he did does not represent Islam. This is more some type of radicalization, not religion."
