A Wisconsin teen has an unusual defense for allegedly stabbing his mom to death ... he claims he was inspired to commit the savage crime by the notorious Menendez brothers, who killed their own parents with shotguns.

Racine County prosecutors charged 15-year-old Reed Gelinskey with intentional homicide after the March 4 attack on his mother, Suzanne, in their home in the village of Caledonia, about 20 miles south of Milwaukee. Prosecutors say Reed bashed Suzanne with a dumbbell and stabbed her three times in the chest and twice in the neck, killing her.

According to a criminal complaint, obtained by TMZ, Reed allegedly planned the gruesome murder while watching the shotgun scene in the Menendez brothers' Netflix documentary, "The Menendez Brothers." Reed reportedly referenced the scene that shows the murder of their parents, José and Mary Louise "Kitty" Menendez, when talking to cops.

After two trials, they were convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison without parole. The brothers are now making a bid to try to get out of prison through resentencing, a commutation or potential parole. They are expected to appear in court for a parole board hearing on June 13.

Donald Trump may not leave the White House at the end of his term -- so says Steve Bannon -- and it triggered a fairly furious argument on our "2 Angry Men" podcast.

Harvey got into it with former Utah congressman and current FOX news contributor Jason Chaffetz and cohost Mark Geragos over Bannon's comments on NewsNation, telling Chris Cuomo that Trump will run again in 2028 and win, despite the 22nd Amendment, which limits him to 2 terms. Cuomo pressed Bannon on how that could happen ... but Bannon was evasive.

Harvey dismissed repealing the 22nd Amendment, which would take a 2/3 vote in Congress ratified by 3/4 of the states. He theorizes Trump might declare martial law, suspend the election, and say for the good of the country, he's staying.
