But first, the two victims at the Brown University's shooting have been identified. 19-year-old Ella Cook was a devoted Christian and vice president of the school's college Republicans chapter. She was from Birmingham, Alabama, and was a parishioner of Catholic Church of the Advent. A Brown University professor said the murderer yelled something. We probably all know what he yelled, but we'll get that confirmed pretty soon here, surely,

and then killed two people and injured nine others. The other victim who was killed was a Uzbekistan national. He was at school to become a neurosurgeon. Director Rob Reiner and his wife were killed in their Los Angeles home on Sunday. Their son, Nick Reiner, has been arrested for murder. He's 32. He had his first stint in rehab at 15.

He's been homeless multiple times. Nick and his dad did a movie promotion tour recently for a movie called Being Charlie, which was inspired by their family's experience with addiction. Recent pictures of the Reiner family, everyone looks well and healthy. he does not. The L.A. Times is reporting that he got into an argument with his parents at Conan O'Brien's Christmas party on Saturday night. This is a message from FBI director Cash Patel.

He said over the weekend the FBI disrupted a credible, imminent terrorist threat and arrested four individuals connected to the Los Angeles area. The subject self-identified as members of a radical offshoot of the Turtle Island Liberation Front. This is an extremist group motivated by pro-Palestinian anti-Lalien. law enforcement and anti-government ideology. They were allegedly planning a coordinated IED bombing attack on New Year's Eve, targeting five separate locations across Los Angeles. Turtle Island, by the way, the Turtle Island Liberation Front. Turtle Island is what woke white people think that Indians called America before the white man came and renamed it America.

So in solidarity to the anti-colonizing movement, they call themselves the Turtle Island Liberation front. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence revealed that Joe Biden's mass migration agenda welcomed 18,000 known or suspected terrorists into the United States in just four years.

Time now for the O'Reilly Update, message of the day. On this Tuesday, do you think it's possible the media could pause the Trump bashing during the last two weeks of the year? Could that ever happen? Just pack it away over Christmas and New Year's.

I don't think it's going to have. happen. What would TV news and talk shows do without the president? What would Democrats say? The answer is not much. For his opposition criticizing Donald Trump is like crack cocaine. They literally cannot stop doing it. This week, Saturday Night Live, once again, open with James Austin Johnson, imitating President Trump. Johnson is a brilliant impersonator, but the bit was tedious. it over and over. S&L simply doesn't know what to do anymore. So it repeats itself, hoping to please the bubble people who cannot get enough Trump mocking. So we all need a break from this. There are many other targets. S&L could open with Putin, throwing his advisors out

of windows. Or Congressman Omar saying those who criticize Somalis of stealing a billion dollars are racist. Or Chuck Schumer suggesting softer treatment for drug cartels. You go, Chuck. Saturday Night Live is 51 years old. I'd like to show to age gracefully. It's not. Overdoing Trump is now a tired cliche. Sto it for a while. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it.

Stephen is a concierge member on the message board. The American media is an evil institution. Generally speaking, we have freedom of the press in his country, and they choose the lie when they have the freedom and speak to truth. A lot of them do. A lot of them do. Money. They do it for money.

His final program entered a six-decade career that featured more than 60,000 interviews. Here is the story of Larry King. Born Lawrence Zigger in 1933, young Larry spent his childhood in Brownsville, Brooklyn. He began his career in 1957, delivering the news in Miami. As a rising star, Larry's manager suggested he changed his name.

According to the executive, Ziger was, quote, to German, to Jewish, and not suitable for show business. So the two settled on King after seeing a newspaper ad for King's wholesale liquor store. In 1978, the broadcaster launched the Larry King show, a nightly coast-to-coast radio program featuring interviews with local celebrities. Larry King Live debuted on CNN in 1985. Show hosted a wide range of guests, from politicians to UFO people to psychics. Unlike most interviews, King had a direct non-confrontational style. His reputation for asking easy questions made him attractive to figures who wanted to state

their positions while avoiding being challenged. In 2010, Then, Larry King announced his retirement. On December 16th, King said goodbye. I'm going to be seen in other places, do some radio work, be around baseball. So you're not going to see me go away, but you're not going to see me here on this set anymore. I don't know what to say, except to you, my audience. Thank you. And instead of goodbye, how about so long?

In January 2021, Larry King died from complications related to COVID. He was 87 years old. And here's something else you might not know. Larry King Live was the most popular primetime news program for more than a decade. He lost that title in the first quarter of 2001 to a program named the O'Reilly Factor. back in a moment.
