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.

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.

At first it was kind of interesting, but now it's starting to freak people out. Drones continue to be spotted over New Jersey - and with no explanation, the wild conspiracy theories keep coming. In fact, the Pentagon had to shoot down buzz they were from an Iranian mothership parked off the East Coast. As Les Trent reports, until there's an answer, the hysteria will continue. And you may have heard about that horrible scene at a Christmas parade in Palm Springs, California when a motorcycle cop doing wheelies lost control and plowed into spectators. Ten people were injured including a 12-year-old girl. Now, her outraged parents are speaking with our Jim Moret. The officer involved is in the hospital and has expressed concern for those injured. Meantime, the police chief says he has grounded the entire motorcycle unit during the investigation, adding they will never be popping wheelies at public events again.

One week after the brazen shooting of that United Healthcare CEO, the NYPD is warning companies to enhance security for executives after the discovery of an online hitlist with names and salaries of CEOs, while 'wanted' posters of corporate executives have started to pop up around Manhattan. And, the Wisconsin father of three who went missing after faking his own death is now under arrest. Four months after he fled overseas reportedly to be with a new girlfriend, he returned to his hometown and turned himself in. Plus, how do you deal with a situation where your adult son has apparently moved on from his fiancée and taken up with a new gal? Well, if you're President-elect Donald Trump, you appoint the jilted fiancée ambassador of Greece. The appointment may be a convenient way to avoid what could have been a romantic mess. And there's lots of talk about Beyonce and Jay-Z's eldest daughter Blue Ivy after she joined her parents at the premiere of the Lion King prequel.

Drama today as the 26-year-old suspect charged with assassinating the healthcare CEO was being brought into an extradition hearing in Pennsylvania. As cops escorted Luigi Mangione in handcuffs, he had an outburst, screaming about his arrest being unjust. And Mangione does not fit the typical profile of a killer. He comes from a well-connected family and was a popular, athletic fraternity brother. But in the months leading up to the shooting, he went off the grid. In fact, right before Thanksgiving his family sent him an email asking if he was ok. Plus, just hours after rapper Jay-Z hit back over an allegation in a civil lawsuit that he had raped a 13-year-old girl in 2000, which he strongly denies, he was on the red carpet with his family sending a message loud and clear. And he mystery over those drones hovering over New Jersey is building. We're now learning they aren't those little hobbyist drones; they are actually the size of small cars and have sophisticated technology. So, who is sending them up and what are they for?

Cops say the suspect was carrying a two-page manifesto railing against the healthcare industry. And a verdict is in, in the trial of the marine veteran who put a man in a chokehold on a New York subway leading to his death.

It's no secret the hosts were not in Trump's corner and they're not at all being coy about how they feel now that he's won the election. Plus, the results of the election may also put the brakes on efforts to free Lyle and Erik Menendez from prison. While the current LA District Attorney has revisited the case, the newly elected DA says he hasn't yet made a decision about whether or not he'll support the brothers release.

In what's being called one of the greatest comebacks in political history, Donald Trump, the twice impeached 45th President of the United States has won another four years as the 47th. The former President won a convincing victory and today there's speculation over who will play what kind of role in the Trump administration. And once again -- the pollsters got it wrong. Kamala Harris got a boost a few days before the election when one poll found Trump trailing in Iowa. The former President handily 'won' that state. Other polls said the race was too close to call. Trump won by more than four and a half million votes. So, what happened? Plus, with his return to the White House assured, how many of Donald Trump's campaign utterances will come to pass? He vowed retribution against those he perceives did him wrong. He's promised pardons for those convicted in connection with January 6th and then there are his 'own' legal cases. And while it was a happy night for Trump supporters, it was the opposite for Kamala Harris' supporters. Americans react to the results.

There's big reaction today to the Los Angeles Dodgers winning their eighth World Series title and nowhere is the excitement bigger than in their hometown. As fireworks exploded in the sky, thousands of fans spilled into the streets, but the LAPD says some crossed the line. A bus was set on fire, shops were being looted, and fireworks thrown at cops. And while there were celebrations in LA, the mood was very different across the country where there were tears as well as anger over the Yankees crushing loss. You've heard the expression ‘there's no crying in baseball’? Well, try telling that today to a Yankees fan. Plus, Donald Trump arrives to his rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin in a garbage truck -- trolling President Biden after his gaffe, calling Trump supporters garbage. Is it political genius?

The Yankees finally figured out how to score some runs last night with a win that denies the Dodgers a chance to take the World Series in a clean sweep. It's now Dodgers: three, Yankees: one. But while the Bronx Bombers will play on, two Yankees fans won't be around to see it. They were ejected from the stands for trying to pull a ball out of a player's glove. As Steven Fabian reports, they were so aggressive some are describing it as a mugging. And it's arguably the most consequential presidential election in a generation -- and the two candidates are bickering about crowd size. As he has during the campaign, Donald Trump has been boasting that he filled Madison Square Garden. Now Kamala Harris' team says her rally in Washington, D.C. last night drew 75,000. Plus, a cop is in hot pursuit of a car going over 100 miles an hour on a highway, but when she pulls the driver over, it wasn't at all what she was expecting. The man behind the wheel was speeding because he was trying to get his fiancé, who was in labor, to the hospital. And have you been to a haunted house yet? This time of year, they are everywhere and can be really scary. But as Alison Hall reports, some patrons think there is one haunted house that goes too far.

It may be a sign of just how damaging that Trump rally at Madison Square Garden really was. Melania Trump, who has steadfastly remained on the sidelines during her husband's entire political campaign today, was on Fox News declaring he's not Hitler. And when all those iconic angels returned to the runway for the recent Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, one model was conspicuously missing: Gisele Bundchen. Was the fact she's now pregnant the reason she passed on the show? Plus, it’s now been a year and a half since a subway rider tried to subdue a person he says was harassing other passengers. He put him in a chokehold and the man died. Today that subway rider is on trial for manslaughter in a case that has become incredibly charged politically. Penny’s lawyer says his client was trying to protect other passengers and never intended for the man to die. And on paper, he seemed like the perfect match. A successful cardiologist on a dating app looking to meet someone nice. But women who went out with him say he was a monster who spiked their drinks and then brutally sexually assaulted them. Now he's been sentenced to more than 150 years in prison. His attorney says he will appeal.

It was billed by the Trump campaign as a "showcase" of the Trump movement, but critics say last night's rally at Madison Square Garden was a race-baiting celebration of hate. The level of vitriol from the stage was such that even some of Trump's closest confidantes are doing damage control. And, they say good fences make good neighbors, but not always. Jim Moret reports on a couple of situations in which scary neighbors inflicted real damage, including gunfire. Plus, it was one of the most touching moments yet in the world series-- Dodgers slugger Freddie Freeman celebrating his historic grand slam home run by running to the stands to share the moment with his father. Now as the series moves to New York, Mr. Freeman has traveled across the country to again cheer on his son. And it was as one year ago today that Friends star Matthew Perry was found unresponsive in his hot tub. And on this somber anniversary his family is speaking out for the first time saying the pain never goes away.

And a former Sports Illustrated swimsuit model has come forward to say Donald Trump touched her inappropriately in the 90's after they were introduced by Jeffrey Epstein. The former President denies the allegation, but with just 11 days until the election, some are questioning the timing. Plus, five members of a family have been murdered. Gunned down not by an intruder, but prosecutors say, by one of their own. The suspect is the 15-year-old son who allegedly got hold of his dad's silver glock and opened fire. His attorney says these are only allegations and “the law presumes that my client is innocent.” And, that E. coli outbreak being linked to McDonald’s Quarter Pounders is spreading.

And, just hours after the bombshell audio tape was released of Donald Trump's former chief of staff saying Trump admired Adolph Hitler and saying he fit the definition of a fascist, Kamala Harris appeared at a town hall also calling the former president a fascist. Plus, for over three decades he's been helping people get better. Now this doctor has become a patient himself after being severely beaten. Not by a total stranger, but by the son of one of his patients.
