I'm Daily Wire executive editor John Bickley with Georgia Howe. It's Friday, December 19th. This is Morning Wire.
Chapter 2: Who was the suspect in the Brown University shooting?
Men are men. Men can never become women. Women are women. Women can never become men.
The Trump administration is cracking down on controversial transgender procedures for minors, cutting off any hospital that performs them.
And President Trump secures a much-needed economic win as inflation comes in cooler than projected. I'm not saying we're going to declare victory yet on the price problem, but this is just an astonishingly good CPI report.
Chapter 3: What led to the identification of the shooter Claudio Neves Valenti?

Chapter 4: How did the Brown University shooting connect to the MIT professor's murder?
But yesterday, police found the body of the man who they say was responsible. Here's Providence Police Chief Oscar Perez in a press conference last night.
An individual was identified as Claudio Neves Valenti, date of birth, and he was a 48-year-old man. He was a Brown student. He was a Portuguese national. And his last known address was in Miami, Florida. And I will tell you that he took his own life tonight.
This Neves Valenti was a former Brown student. He was enrolled in a Ph.D. physics program from the fall of 2000 to the spring of 2001. It's not clear yet what brought him back to Brown, but what authorities are certain of is that they found their guy. They found his body in a storage locker he had rented, dead by suicide. Police released images of him renting the car that they tracked him with.
And in those images, he's wearing the same coat as the person of interest in the photos released earlier this week. Same build, also the same fanny pack. Neves Valenti also had two firearms on him when they found him. Now, authorities reported earlier yesterday that they had found DNA evidence of the gunman at the crime scene.
Chapter 5: What are the new HHS regulations on gender-affirming care for minors?
Presumably that will match with Neves Valenti to further seal this case. Officials said last night that this case really broke wide open after they released images of a second person of interest on Wednesday.
Within a couple hours, that person had come forward, given police crucial information about the vehicle, and through the vehicle, police were able to identify Neves Valenti and eventually track him to that storage locker in New Hampshire. Law enforcement converged on it.
Dozens of local, state, and federal agents surrounded the place before they finally opened it up and found Neves Valenti dead inside. Now, this breakthrough came at a pretty tense time between officials and the local community. If you watched any of these press conferences this week, you could see the frustration between reporters and the officials.
Officials have taken a lot of heat for the pace of the investigation and for the competency of those in charge. For instance, here's a viral clip of the Providence chief of police, Oscar Perez, struggling to answer a question on the basic facts of the case.
Chapter 6: What impact will the new HHS rules have on transgender procedures?
Yes. Both inside and outside. I'm sorry, just outside. That's all we have. Not inside. I'm sorry. Just outside. That was released already. That was the outside of the building. We already released that.
Let me just jump here and clarify.
Now, we began seeing reports yesterday that the shooting in Brookline, Massachusetts, two days after the Brown University shooting, might be connected. What's the evidence for that?
Right, and New Hampshire authorities confirmed that suspected connection last night as well. They said that Neves Valente murdered MIT professor Nuno Lauriero in his Brookline home. Notably, Neves Valente and Lauriero shared a common country of origin in that they were both immigrants from Portugal.
Chapter 7: What does the latest economic report say about inflation?
And more than that, according to U.S. Attorney Leah Foley, Neves Valenti attended the same academic program in Portugal as Lauriero. Foley said that the main reason why it took so long to track Neves Valenti down is that he changed the plates on his rental car sometime after he murdered Lauriero and before he traveled to that storage locker that they found his body in.
And I should note a bit more about Neves Valenti's background. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem posted about it last night. Keep in mind that Neves Valenti was a lawful resident, but he wasn't a citizen. Noem said, quote, The Brown University shooter, Claudio Manuel Neves Valenti, entered the United States through the Diversity Lottery Immigrant Visa Program
DV1 in 2017 and was granted a green card. This heinous individual should never have been allowed in our country. She went on to add that she is requesting that the president end DV1 to ensure no more Americans are harmed by this disastrous program. Then she went on to add that she has now paused that DV1 program at President Trump's direction.
Tim, thanks for reporting.
Thanks for having me on.
This episode is sponsored by the University of Austin, Texas. You know college is broken. Activist professors, seminars that feel like struggle sessions, $80,000 a year to hear Hamas chants on the quad while being told America is evil in class. So what's the alternative? It's called the University of Austin, or UATX. At UATX, students are in small seminars taught by great professors.

Chapter 8: How is the economic report affecting political standings ahead of the midterms?
They read the great books of Western civilization to learn from them, not tear them down. They build actual companies on campus with mentorship from a vast network of top entrepreneurs and investors. You can be openly Christian or Jewish without apology. And when you walk into the main atrium, there's a giant American flag.
UATX emits students based purely on test scores, so the application takes just five minutes. Oh, and another thing. Tuition is completely free. Forever. It's funded by American patriots who want to create the Navy Seals of the mind, not another generation of credentialed activists. To apply to the University of Austin, visit uaustin.org.

The Trump administration has moved to cut off federal funding for hospitals performing transgender procedures and surgeries on minors, fulfilling a major Trump campaign promise.
Here with the details is Daily Wire reporter Amanda Prestigiacomo. So Amanda, big news from HHS yesterday. This is a pretty sweeping decision. How exactly is it going to be implemented?
So a number of new rules are going to be applied to cut off federal funding to any facility that's going to perform these trans procedures on minors. That would include puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, or any sex operation.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, CMS, they're going to bar hospitals from performing any of those procedures on children under 18 as a condition of participation in Medicare and Medicaid programs. New rules are also going to block funding of Medicaid's Children's Health Insurance Program that will stop trans procedures for anyone under 19.
That program, known as CHIP, covers millions of kids nationwide. CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz spoke yesterday about these coming changes. He really stressed the irreversible nature of these trans procedures and how much money they bring in. The typical vaginoplasty procedure A vaginoplasty, a procedure a child does not need, costs $60,000.
Shockingly, a phalloplasty, the creation of a penis, costs on average in America, according to this data, high quality, $150,000 per child. It is shameful that clinicians have profiteered off this. I do not understand how it could possibly have been tolerated by the leadership of these institutions, but it will no longer be funded.
At the same presser, there were some powerful words from Chloe Cole. She's a detransitioner who's been fighting to stop these procedures so that other children don't have to go through what she went through.
