The holiday travel rush is on with an estimated 110 million Americans going over the river and through the woods to grandmother's house and other destinations... and if you're flying you may want to put some thought into what you wear. Jim Moret says it can make a big difference. And as many as one in nine adults take medication to lose weight, and during the holidays it's not uncommon to skip a dose or two for a variety of reasons. But is it safe? Megan Alexander reports. Plus, before a woman headed to the hospital to have her baby she stopped at Costco and had a salad with creamy dressing. Then the morning after her baby was born, a nurse informed her she had tested positive for opiates and her baby was being taken away. Ann Mercogliano tells us what happened. And the baby who just couldn't wait to get to the hospital, in fact - the bundle of joy came into the world right on the doorstep.

It was supposed to be a fun Christmas show, with drones creating festive light shows in the sky. However, instead it turned into a nightmare, as a number of the drones fell from the sky, one even hitting a seven-year-old boy in the chest who ended up needing open heart surgery. And the nation's most famous murder suspect Luigi Mangione was led into a Manhattan criminal court today where he pleaded not guilty. There was no prison jumpsuit in sight, instead Mangione was all cleaned up in a burgundy sweater over a white dress shirt - while his supporters showed up both outside and inside court. Plus, the House Ethics Committee has released its report on Matt Gaetz and the allegations are shocking - including that the former congressman paid tens of thousands of dollars to women for sex or drugs on at least 20 occasions. Today, the dirty laundry is sending shockwaves through Washington. Gaetz has denied any improper conduct and says the allegations against him were a "smear" invented by his political enemies. And if you're a parent looking for this year’s most popular toy for Christmas good luck! The Miss Rachel doll is nowhere to be found, and some grinches are trying to sell cheap knock offs. Here's what you need to know.

After being extradited back to New York, CEO shooting suspect Luigi Mangione spent the night in a detention center where conditions are so bad it’s described as a hell hole. He'll soon be moved to a special unit housing another high-profile inmate. And it may not be your go to meal on Christmas, but oysters have been a popular holiday dish for generations—but bad ones can make you really sick. Eighty people just came down with the norovirus after eating raw oysters at an event celebrating the best restaurants in Los Angeles. So how can you tell if the oysters you're eating are safe? Plus, President Biden met with sick children for Christmas at a hospital in D.C. today. His visit comes as the Wall Street Journal publishes a bombshell report - questioning just how long The White House has known about the president's alleged cognitive decline. And just a few weeks after court papers were filed stating that TV personality Wendy Williams is now permanently incapacitated, she is making a rare public appearance attending her son's graduation.

Luigi Mangione is returning to New York. The suspect in the killing of the CEO of United Healthcare waived extradition and was choppered to New York City where he faces multiple charges including first degree murder. And he's the private citizen who has enormous influence in the upcoming administration. Billionaire Elon Musk – co-head of President- elect Trump's Department of Government Efficiency - has been ubiquitous as the transition team does its work. So much so, that some are cheekily calling him 'President Musk.' Plus, also meeting with President-elect Trump - Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and his fiancée Lauren Sanchez. It comes as Amazon deals with workers launching a Nationwide strike - right in the middle of the holiday rush. So, will all those Christmas deliveries be delayed? And did the 15-year-old Wisconsin school shooter have an accomplice? A 20-year-old man in California was detained by the FBI and his guns seized after authorities say they learned he'd been communicating with the student about plotting a mass murder.

We've learned more about the fifteen-year-old who killed a teacher and student at her school in Madison, Wisconsin -- and her home life was troubled. Her parents married and divorced multiple times, she was a loner -- and -- chillingly, the girl seemed to be fixated on previous school shootings.  And now the incident that still haunts Megan Thee Stallion. Four years ago, a fellow rapper shot her in the feet. He was sentenced to ten years, but she says she still doesn't feel safe. She's requesting a restraining order, saying he's continuing to threaten her and won't stop. Plus, yesterday we reported that the FBI was warning people not to shoot at the drones. And they have another message: Stop aiming laser pointers at the sky because they are blinding pilots.  And what was supposed to be a sweet holiday moment at a Charlotte Hornets basketball game turned out to look awfully grinchy. The mascot, dressed as Santa, gave a 13-year-old a PlayStation - and the crowd loved it. But when they went to a commercial break, they took it back! The Hornets have apologized and said they will make things right for the 13-year-old.

It's being called Santa Street USA - a neighborhood outside San Diego where almost every home has a giant blow up Santa Claus. But now it’s been targeted by a real-life Grinch.  And, the drone mystery remains unsolved - and as we've reported, no matter how unnerved you might be about the sightings, it's illegal to shoot a drone. Now the FBI is chiming in to stress in no uncertain terms - if you see a drone, don’t shoot it. Plus, it’s an indicator of the impact of the United Healthcare killing. Ordinarily, an annual business gathering in New York City would be a non-event, but in the wake of the killing and a hit list that's been circulated, corporate leaders meeting across the street from the murder scene are taking no chances. And the shooting at a Wisconsin school that left three people dead is the 83rd school shooting so far this year. It's a sad sign of the times - but would your child know how to call for help in an emergency? It's estimated more than 26 million children in the U.S. don't know how to call 911.

The frenzy over the apparent drones over New Jersey and elsewhere was unabated over the weekend. Officially the government says it doesn’t know where they're from, but Rosie O’Donnell says she does. She took to social media saying "they're here". To O’Donnell, it’s clear these aren't really drones but aliens from outer space, but is she serious? And the man accused of murdering the CEO of United Healthcare has a new attorney. And before she was retained, she was on tv talking about a possible insanity defense. This comes as President-elect Donald Trump speaks out about the shooting. Plus, the woman who alleges that Jay-Z sexually assaulted her more than twenty years ago when she was 13 is speaking out, admitting there are inconsistencies in her story. And Jay-Z has come out swinging vehemently denying the allegations, filing to dismiss the lawsuit and calling the woman's attorney a '1-800 lawyer.' And last week, President Joe Biden commuted the sentences of 1,500 criminals, and one in particular is sparking outrage today - a now-former judge who accepted $2.8 million for jailing 2,300 children - some as young as eight. Now one of the outraged moms is speaking out. To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

There are increasing calls for the government to share what they know and what they don’t about the mysterious drones that have been hovering over New Jersey and other parts of the Northeast. One senator is so fed up - he's suggesting they be shot down. And a major development in the case of that formerly missing dad who faked his own death to go overseas to be with a new girlfriend. No surprise: his wife's filed for separation. Plus, corporate CEOs continue to beef up their personal security as threats in the wake of last week’s assassination of the CEO of United Health Care continue. And law enforcement is taking a tough stand against anyone perceived to be making a threat.  And the twins accused of sex crimes were back in court today with one still in an anti-suicide smock. This comes as one of the alleged victims is speaking out -- saying she was attacked at the famed Versace mansion in Miami. And she doesn’t mince words when it comes to the brothers. She calls them 'monsters.' The twins pleaded not guilty today. If convicted, they face 15 years to life in prison.
