Sheriff's Department records show that their son Nick, who has a history of drug addiction, was taken into custody on an unspecified felony charge. He's being held on $4 million bail. Now, this arrest comes after reports that the LAPD's Robbery Homicide Division interviewed Nick following the suspected double murder.

How did the NFL star highlight Christian persecution through his cleats?
While sympathetic posts flooded the internet, President Trump drew backlash for his response, in which he tied Rob Reiner's death to his frequent criticism of Trump. Calling the deaths a very sad thing, Trump went on to say that he passed away reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind-crippling disease known as Trump Derangement Syndrome, end quote.
More details are emerging about the Hanukkah massacre at Bondi Beach over the weekend. Daily Wire senior editor Joel Needler has the latest.
Authorities have identified the shooters as father and son Saeed and Naveed Akram. Saeed was legally able to own firearms in strictly regulated Australia because he had a recreational hunting license. Counterterrorism authorities apparently looked into the son, Naveed, back in 2019 over his association with the Islamic State. Police reportedly believe the duo had both pledged allegiance to the Islamic State before the attack. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese apparently attends to introduce new gun legislation in response.
Federal authorities say they foiled a major terrorist plot, arresting four alleged members of a radical pro-Palestinian extremist group. Daily Wire reporter Bracastole has more.
The FBI says the suspects identified themselves as part of a violent offshoot of the Turtle Island Liberation Front, who were planning to hit five locations across Los Angeles using improvised explosive devices. Agents arrested the group in Lucerne Valley, where they were reportedly preparing to test explosives and charge them with conspiracy and possession of destructive devices.

These threats are sophisticated, organized campaigns of targeted intimidation, radicalization, threats and violence designed to silence opposing speech, limit political activity and direct policy outcomes and prevent the proper functioning of a democratic society.
The nation of Chile has moved sharply to the right, with the hardline conservative candidate winning the presidency in a landslide. José Antonio Kast won the election this weekend after a campaign focused on crime and immigration. The 59-year-old devout Catholic has run twice before unsuccessfully, but his message clearly resonated with the nation this time around. He defeated Communist Party candidate Jeanette Jara by an overwhelming 17-point margin.
How is Ukraine responding to the recent Russian attacks and what are the implications for peace talks?
Erica Kirk and Candace Owens met privately today in person and off camera. Daily Wire reporter Lyndon Blake has more.
Both have agreed that live streams will be paused until after the meeting. Charlie Kirk's widow has been at the center of theories promoted by Candace Owens on her podcast since Kirk's death back in September, this resulting in widespread skepticism toward the TPSA organization among Owens' followers.
