| 0:00.0 | Today is Monday, December 16th. We'll tell you about new efforts to get to the bottom of mysterious drone sightings, now becoming even more common on the East Coast. Also, a new showdown over abortion pills being sold across state lines. Plus, why some of America's biggest tech companies are investing in President-elect Trump's inauguration, where Americans are seeing snow, ice, and rain. And who should get a holiday tip and how much? |
| 0:22.7 | One survey has some answers. Those stories and more news to know next. |
| 0:29.0 | Welcome, welcome to The Newsworthy. All the day's news in around 10 minutes. Fast, fair, fun, |
| 0:35.0 | and on the go. I'm Erica Mandy. Thanks so much for being here. You ready? |
| 0:39.6 | Let's do this. A recent surge in drones is starting to get more attention from the federal |

| 0:55.1 | at night, and at times they've been spotted over critical infrastructure. But the U.S. |

| 1:16.2 | had to close its runways for about an hour because of reported drone activity. Separately, two people |
| 1:21.4 | were arrested for flying a drone near Boston's Logan Airport without authorization over the weekend. |
| 1:26.8 | Meanwhile, the FBI is repeating what |
| 1:28.4 | it's been saying all along that there's no evidence of any kind of national security or public safety |
| 1:32.9 | threat, but some lawmakers have accused the Biden administration of a cover-up, saying the White House |
| 1:38.2 | does know what's going on and isn't telling the public. President-elect Trump chimed in, |
| 1:42.8 | writing on social media, can this really be happening without our government's knowledge? I don't think so. |
| 1:47.6 | Others say there are many other explanations, especially since nearly 800,000 drones are registered |
| 1:53.0 | with the FAA for different purposes. And some of the sightings may have just been airplanes. |
