arthel: all eyes on landover, maryland, where the 125th

army-navy game kicks off any minute now. checking out the box, president-elect trump is in attendance for the big game, and he will be joined by concern yes with, live, there's the president-elect right there and j.d. vance next to him. speaker johnson many there, wonder who else? let's take a look. apparently president-elect trump will be joined by two key nominees. yeah, that high profile republican i just told you about, who could still be in the running for a cabinet job. it's somebody else. stand by for those details. all i'm telling you is that a lot's happening. there's some handshaking going on, more than just watching football. we'll have that for you as you see president-elect trump has already arrived there. yeah, you've got all the big big wigs lining up there to watch some football. welcome, everybody. this is a special hour of "fox news live. requests i'm arthel neville. eric: hi, arthel, and i'm eric shawn. the journal editorial report, by

the way, will be seen tomorrow at 3 p.m. we're going back to sports and politics. viceresidentlect j.d. vance joining the president-elect, you see them both talking in the box there in maryland as we get ready for a huge game. the defense secretary picker pete hegseth, and the proposed director of national intelligence, tulsi gabbard, will be there. both were on the tarmac as the president-elect arrived to go to the game. also looking inside that box and just seeing the other assemble as we get ready for the army-navy kickoff. both sides facing each other on the gridiron, right, arthel? arthel: owe, yeah. madison scarpino is live in landover, maryland. we are going do can you to keep tabs on the game, of course, and the score. go, navy. but i also need to know what's happening in that box. very important people up there. very important messaging coming out of that that box, madison.

>> reporter: yeah, that's right, arthel. it seems like there is going to be a show on the field but also definitely important to keep an eye on those sidelines as you have been saying. but it's an exciting day that the 125th matchup between the army black knights and the navy mid shipmen. when it comes to president-elect trump, this is not the his first army-navy game. he went several times during his first presidency. now, it is unclear if president biden will be here today. it seems pretty doubtful at this point. but he has not attended one army-navy game as commander in chief despite it being somewhat of a tradition for presidents. we do know several more big names are there. you mentioned vp-elect j.d. vance who is bringing daniel penny. tulsi gabbard, pete hegseth and florida governor ron desantis which, that's going to be an interesting dynamic since sources tell fox that trump was considering replacing hegseth with desantis as his defense

secretary pick. and house speaker mike johnson, of course. today is set to be a great matchup. both already and navy have legit football teams this year. we spent the day yesterday speaking with cadets, leaders from the game's sponsor, usaa. and one thing the that's been recognized from everyone we talk to is just the character of these athletes. they will go on -- they will all go on to serve our country. if. >> you can be rivaled on -- rivals on the field and compete in a hard-nosed way and then come together as one and be committed to something larger than self, to be about the common if good for our country. >> the way we play with just a toughness, a tenacity, discipline that reflects the men if women who put themselves in harm's way. it's a great segway into this next a phase of hair life. >> reporter: so the army black knights have taken the win in the army-navy game for the past few years. we will see what happens today

and, again, keeping an eye on this game and also the politics and maybe potential drama that comes out of this. back to you guys. arthel: keeping an eye on the box as well because i think i just saw pete hegseth in this shot. he is the president-elect's choice for secretary of defense. yep, there's pete right there. so, yeah, we'll keep an eye on everything. and, of course, madison scarpino is there live with all the details. she will continue to file as we continue right here on "fox news live" for the next couple of hours. eric: tulsi gabbard right in the middle between the speaker of the house and the president-elect. let's go to the latest over those mystery drones. residents demanding answers as to where are they coming from and, more importantly, why. president-elect trump is joining that saying he wants transparency and action, and he's also called to shoot them down. c.b. cotton live in elizabeth, new jersey, with the very latest on this. c.b.. >> reporter: hi, eric.

we just got a briefing from fbi, dhs and faa officials who reiterated that some of these reported sightings are manned aircraft. and they said there's been no criminal activity, foreign actor or national security threat identified in the ongoing investigation. but still people and state leaders are demanding answers. new york governor kathy hochul saying today, quote, this has gone on too far after announcing that runways at an airport about 60 miles north of new york city if were shut down for about an hour on friday due to drone activity in the air space. she's also calling on congress to pass legislation to strengthen the faa's oversight of drones and give more authority to state and local agencies to investigate. and on thursday new jersey governor phil murphy wrote in a letter to president biden, quote, it has become apparent that more resources are need to fully understand what is behind this activity. murphy went on to say in his

letter that the reported drones fall squarely on the shoulders of the federal government because existing laws and policies keep state and local law enforcement from countercan acting the drones. sightings are now happening across the entire northeast and as far away as california leaving people frustrated and becoming sleuths of their own. this facebook page called new jersey mystery drones nows has more than 50,000 members. people post their photos and video sightings and then speculate on what they're seeing. and now that the incidents are no longer confined to the northeast, residents believe there's more to the story. >> i can't believe they're planes. they fly at a slow pace if sometimes, and there are such bright lights with the green and red going. i look in the sky with an app that, you know, would say there's planes in the sky like flight aware, and i don't see any planes when these things are coming past my property. >> reporter: and while federal

officials are adamant and they sin insist that a lot of -- insist that a a lot of these sightings are planes or helicopters, they did say they've confirmed drone sightings over military bases here in new jersey, and they're taking those confirmed sightings very seriously. if back to you with. eric: yeah. with the reports that the drones cannot be detect thed by heat, that 50 swarmed in from the if ocean raises a lot of other questions about what the government's telling us. c.b., thank you. arthel? arthel: okay. well, let's bring in -- oh, well, let's go to landover, maryland, i guess, before we go to our next guest. you see the president-elect there. you see tulsi gabbard there. you see the vice president, j.d. vance, and speaker mike johnson is there in the box here for the big army-navy game. president-elect trump is very keen on messaging through television, so the people he has

in his box are there for a particular reason, i'm sure. eric, what do you think? eric: yeah. it's interesting that he has pete hegseth, the, you know, the dod secretary there as well as tulsi gabbard a right up front because you're dealing with national security on both sides. defense of the united states of america and national security. this while he's called on shooting down those drones with a lack of answers from the federal government on any real specifics. our government now telling us that those drones are not, they say, a foreign adversary. what are they? if who's doing can it? and they don't even know. who's doing it? we, perhaps, will get some more answers, and we'll stay on it throughout the next two hours here on the fox news channel as we await the kickoff of this game see what the president-elect has to say about these drones. arthel: well, right now what we're going to do, eric, is

break away from landover, maryland. and i want to bring in retired u.s. air force brigadier hyten teicher. general, thank you for being here. -- general john tyker. some specific questions i have for you, sir. could these drones be military training to allow u.s. forces to provide to military assistance and engage where needed without putting boots on the ground? is that possible? >> arthel, it's possible, but we have large air space areas in the united states and off the coast where our friendly military systems do their training and do their testing. they wouldn't be over populated areas. the federal government would have an idea of what they were doing. it wouldn't be as clueless as they have seemed to be. it is possible. but because the federal government has been so dismissive about this, it's the unlike likely that if they knew what was going on, that they would be as ignorant as they

seemed to be in the last several weeks. arthel: okay. is a couple other questions then, excuse me. would such military training immediate the perhaps take place in heavy, populated areas to mimic or simulate real world situations? and then secondly, if you do both of these for me at one time, if this is a military operation, how can the government tell the american public without also telling our adversaries? >> arthel, in those same air space areas that military train, he was some populated areas if those the aircraft are at the right altitude in order to do what they need to do other populated areas in testing and training without the disquieting type of activities that have now caused some level of panic amongst the american public. as far as up communication goes, the government always when they are operating something has a public affairs plan so that they

can clearly and concisely convey what is going on so we don't see type of concern or growing panic that we've seen in the last few weeks. the fact that they haven't ruled out such a plan is indicative of the fact that these are not u.s. military assets. arthel: aver okay. let me play some quick sound on drone expert, his take on how the u.s. has fallen behind in military intelligence technology. let's take a listen. >> our military used to odom nate the drone air -- to dominate the drone air space. but all this technology is more accessible than ever, and we've let china lap us because of our archaic laws in the u.s. that have damaged our domestic drone industry. we need to invest more, and the reason we're having these issues and semi people don't know what's going on is because we haven't made the proper investment in our counter-drone technology and drone technology space that's needed right now. arthel: okay. so short time but lots of questions.

do you agree that, and if so, is it too late to catch up? and meantime, i want you to address that we just heard eric mention this, how president-elect trump has apparently been on record saying shoot down the drones. is that something that's even possible? >>s the absolutely true that in the last couple of decades we've seen the increase or proliferation in drone activity or drone technology, and to some extent we in the united states have fallen behind. specifically related to shooting down these drones, the most effective way to get to the bomb of what has been going on -- to the bottom of what has been going on is to track from the point of departure or origin or follow them to their destination. the fact that the we hear dismissive communications from the federal government and the white house without actually doing the most basic things of tracking down the points of origin and destination is causing some of this concern or panic because they're shrugging their shoulders and promising us there's no threat when the reality is they're also telling

us they don't know what's going op to. arthel: if they don't know what's to going on, perhaps i ask you, could our enemies take advantage of this fleet of drones flying around town? >> arthel, if we are incapable if or unwilling to continue to maintain the sovereignty of our air space, then it's certainly something that our adversaries are paying attention to. and whether these drones are operated by adversaries or just casual observers to our ineptitude, either way it makes the united states more susceptible to the type of damage that they could undertake against us. arthel: well, and especially has some of them entering the air space above the naval station that's in colt's neck, new jersey. seems to me, general, in short closing i promise, to my control room, but do you want the government to be specific and tell us what is happening, pull sop? -- full stop? >> arthel, either because of their lack of competence or their lack of communication, the

challenges of this are proliferating. we have a federal government that's responsible for our national air space, and the fact that this has been going on for several weeks without their ability to communicate or understand what is going if on is indicative of a lax daze call or negligent federal government. arthel: i have to leave it there, general. thank you as always. thank you so much. >> thanks, arthel. go, navy. arthel: go, navy. [laughter] eric. eric: go, navy. and for the army folks too. president biden facing some backlash for commuting the sentence of a pennsylvania judge. that judge was serving time on what locals call the kids for cash scandal. the president reportedly pardoned three chinese nationals who were part of a prisoner swap with beijing. two of them convicted of stealing american tech secrets. alexandria hoff live at the white house with the very latest on these pardons. hi, alexandria. >> reporter: hi, eric. yeah, the third chinese national

convicted for perhaps something worse than spying, but we will get to that. there's a lot of outrage, even feeling of irony in the fact that president biden has essentially commuted the conviction of former pennsylvania judge michael conahan because he locked up kids for minor, first-time offenses if in a kind of pay for play scandal there. but yet then has his sentence commuted, and president biden says this, quote: america was built on the promise of possibility and second chances. those kids, though, they did not get second chances. fox news is waiting to hear back from the if white house on why he in particular was included in the nearly 1500 individuals who received clemency. he and a fellow judge were convicted in 2011 for raking in millions off the backs of children in what was known as the kids for cash scandal. democratic pennsylvania governor josh shapiro feels that the president made a major misstep here. >> i thought the sentence that the judge got was too light.

and the fact that he's been allowed out over the last years because of covid, was on house arrest and now has been granted clemency, i think, is absolutely wrong. >> reporter: now, democrats are also speak up about potential preemptive pardons for people that the biden team feels could be prosecuted by the trump team, something trump denies he's going to do. >> i think the president's got to weighing a lot of different factors, how seriously he believes that kash patel, the nominee to be fbi director and the ore nominees to -- the other nominees to lead the trump administration's law enforcement agencies, how seriously they are determined to go after their enemies' list. >> reporter: trump says he does not have an enemies' list. back to the president's pardon list right now, another controversial name, a chinese national who pleaded guilty to the possessing thousands of pornographic images of children. his clemency, again, tied to a

recent prisoner swap which also involved two other chinese nationals. hose were convicted of espionage, eric. eric: alexandria at the white house, thank you. arthel: u.s. officials say they are in direct contact with the syrian rebels who helped overthrow bashar al assad's to government. now, this is despite that group being designated a former terrorist organization. trey yingst is on the ground in syria. he'll have a report for us soon. trey. ♪ >> reporter: yeah, arthel, a big shift in policy as the americans are talking to rebel forces here many syria. we'll have more after the break. ♪ we all want you to feel better. i want extra tv time or i'll walk! how about this? introducing the only kids soft-chew for medicated cough relief. aaaaghhh! new mucinex children's mighty chews are mighty clever. - you give eye exams. - i give... fresh starts. better vision, healthy eyes... everybody wants that. - “hero doc saves vision!” - well, i-

arthel: okay. we are taking you back live to landover, maryland, where the big name, the army-navy game, has kicked off. but you want to stay here for the play-by-play because right there in president-elect trump's booth is where some real political action is taking place. you can tell by just who is in the box alongside the president-elect as he is cheering with the fans and they're watching him. that's what you need to do as well. there is speaker mike johnson in the box, there, of course, is j.d. vance. pete hegseth is in the

box. he is president trump's choice for secretary of defense. you have dni choice, tulsi gab gabbard, is also there. we are told governor ron desantis should be showing up. so it's the an interesting mix of powerful people in the world of politics as president trump is very keen on messaging through television. so we will keep you posted. the game has started but, again, stay right here on "fox news live" for the political match-up that's happening. eric. eric: secretary of state antony blinken confirming the u.s. has been in touch with the syrian rebel group. this comes as a searches are continuing for those missing in the capital city of damascus. chief foreign affairs correspondent trey yingst live in damascus who's to been doing some of that himself. he joins us now with the very latest. trey, good to see you. >> reporter: eric, good afternoon. it's a significant change in policy for the americans, speaking directly with rebel forces that now control syria. but an interesting turn

of events as the the israelis continue airstrikes against the country, of course, a key ally of the united states with. but israel says they want to target any of the military equipment left behind by the assad regime. we visited one of the sites targeted this week. we just arrived at one of the locations that the israelis struck this week on the outskirts of the syrian capital of damascus. this appears to be a research and production facility. when you look at some of the documents that are here in english, you can see drones and other information about rockets that the syrians were researching the produce. there's a diagram of a drone. and if you look at just some of the words on this, it says rocket booster right there. and then it goes through the different types of launchers. for rockets, engine

tests, here is a list of material that you need to build these drones and those rockets. another tie frame of a drone. this is an indication that the israelis had intelligence about what exactly they were hitting here in syria. they don't want this information and these production facilities to fall into the hands of hds. now interestingly, rebels say they are open to remaining neutral when it comes to israel. of course, things can change very quickly on the ground here in syria, but there is hope for a new future across the region. eric? eric: and, trey, by the way, you've also been trying to look for austin tice, the journalist who's missing. any new word on that? indications, there was a prisoner who said he was alive. what can you tell us about that? >> reporter: yeah, we continue to search for u.s. journalist austin tice. this morning we spent hours searching through a security zone inside the basement of a hotel that hadn't yet been checked by rebel forces.

i will say the rebels were open to helping us, they were actually kicking in doors based on u.s. intelligence searching for austin tice who remains missing today. eric? eric: all right, trey. hopefully it will work out. thank you. arthel? arthel: the south korean national assembly voting to impeach its president today. this comes a week and a half after he declared martial law to punish parliament for obstruct thing his agenda. then quickly reversed himself after massive protests. he's now suspended buts has vowed to -- but has vowed to challenge his impeachment in court. stephanie bennet is live with the latest on that story. >> reporter: hey, arthel. yeah,-the second attempt after lawmakers boycotted it last week, so this week was successful. but the national assembly, they passed this motion 204-85. therefore, now all of the president's powers are going to be handed over to the prime minister temporarily. outside of parliament you could see crowds celebrated after hearing the news. the impeachment motion

alleged that president yoon committed rebellion in the republic of korea by staging a series of riots saying he used military and police forces that threatened the public and his martial law decree was aimed at disturbing the constitution. it's not over yet. the constitutional court has up to 180 days to determine whether to dismiss if yoon as president or restore his powers. if he's thrown out of office, a national election must be held within 60 days to choose his successor. well, supporters of the president, they also gathered today to protest the impeachment. mr. yoon himself said he will not give up and described this as a temporary pause in his presidency. >> translator: i will never if give up. holding in my heart all the criticism, encouragement and support directed at me, i will do my best for the country until the very last moment. >> reporter: and he first declared martial law back on december 3rd. around six hours later,

parliament unanimously voted to overturn it. secretary of state antony blinken said today that yoon's impeachment shows south korea's democratic resilience. >> the republic of korea has demonstrate thed its democratic resilience. we've seen it follow peacefully a process laid out in its constitution. and we're ready to work with president han as he assumes office. >> reporter: president yoon is currently under criminal investigations over the martial law decree and is not allowed to leave the country. back to you. arthel: take it back here. stephanie bennet, thank you. eric? eric: arthel, former house speaker nancy pelosi did have successful hip replacement surgery in germany today. the 84-year-old, well, she fell down some stairs in luxembourg yesterday during the trip. she was of there marking 80 years of the the world war ii battle of the bulge.

[laughter]

and i said is, maybe it it is, we'll see what happens. >> reporter: the president-elect is considering inviting several foreign leaders to his inauguration and has already extended an invitation to one of america's biggest rivals, chinese president xi jinping. >> i think it always helps for foreign leaders to see democracy in action. >> if he shows up, at least we know we'll all be safe, yeah. so let's hope he comes. [laughter] >> reporter: diplomats and ambassadors typically attend the inauguration, but there are no records showing a foreign leaders has. >> this is an example of president trump creating an open dialogue with leaders of countries that are not just our allies, but our adversaries and competitors too. >> reporter: the president-elect is receiving support from some unexpected sources. amazon and meta are both donating $1 million to trump's inaugural fund, and amazon will air the event on its end prime streaming service. the heads of those companies, jeff bezos and mark zuckerberg,

have clashed with trump in the past but now say they look forward to working with his administration. >> people say politics and business don't mix, but it has to. these business leaders recognize they have to find a way to compromise and work and thrive. >> reporter: corporations traditionally donate to presidential inaugurations. amazon donated a smaller amount to trump in 2017, but facebook did not doe bait to either biden or trump in previous years. in washington, rebecca cast or, fox news. eric: president-elect trump has invited china's xi jinping to be attend the inauguration. reports say he will likely not attend, but what message is there in the fact that he invited him, especially with the president-elect threatening to raise tariffs on chinese imports? gordon chang is gatestone institute senior fellow, this author of "plan red." gordon, can we help potentially in a fights off -- fight off china before they do any more

damage to us? >> clearly, president trump is playing some sort of mack machiavellian gelled die mind trick on the chinese -- jedi mind trick. and of course xi jinping can't attend because with he attacks the notion of democracy all the time. the he can't attend a ceremony that celebrates a peaceful transition of power after a democratic election. so, yeah, xi jinping can't go. the problem here though is that countries around the world, some of them, view trump's invitation as actually a sign of weakness. that's especially true in the middle east and the gulf. and i'm sure that other leaders around the world might think the same thing. of course, trump doesn't see it that way, but we've got to be careful about the way the rest of the world views what president trump does. eric: why would you say it would be with seen as a sign of weakness as opposed to reaching out to an adversary and trying to to sit down, you know? what's your sense of the diplomatic view as you just said of some of those in the middle

east and elsewhere who would have that opinion? >> well, everybody knows that china has a declared the united states to be its enemy. it formallingly did that in may 2019. we know that china kills 70-75,000 americans each year with fentanyl, a program that is backed by the politboro standing committee and xi jinping himself. and, you know, you have to think about the families of those who have lost dear ones. and so there's just, i think, a broader dimension to all of this. china's doing things which are completely unacceptable, and the leader of that state sd not be invited to an inauguration regardless of how effective it might be from a diplomatic point of view. and i think people around the world see it in a very different way than president trump does. eric: what do you think the president-elect should do, and what do you call on for potential policies to try and blunt the aggressiveness of beijingsome. >> i think the policies that president trump talked about during the campaigns are the right ones. for instance, the imposition of the 10% across the board tariff

on chinese goods for fentanyl and then, of course, he has said to fox business on a number of occasions to maria bartiromo about an at least 60% tariff on chinese goods. that will have an extraordinary effect on xi jinping because his only plan to rescue a dire situation with his economy so to export more. and the u.s. is the largest export if market, destination in the world. he didn't -- xi jinping can't replace it, and when trump imposes tariffs on on china, other countries will do the same thing. this is important to protect our industries and our society from preed our and criminal trade the practices that -- predatory and criminal trade paxes -- practices. eric: and, gordon, you've been warning about them for so many years, the threat of china. but i looked also at the trade balance and imbalance to see what we are trading with anne other, and i saw that the top three things that they send us are telephone sets, computers and something called low value

shipments. you know, whatever that is. low value shipments. but we send them soybeans, crude oil and liquified propane. it seems there's a tremendous imbalance there that is on our advantage that we send them material that they really need while they send us stuff we may not really need. is that -- does that give us an upper hand, do you think, the president-elect going into the white house does have an upper hand against beijing when he takes office? >> yeah. any trade deficit country like the united states has an upper hand with a trade surplus country in a trade war. and through october our trade deficit with china was $245.4 billion. but, you know, one thing, this is not a good trading relationship. apart from the deficit, we're spending them primary materials, and they're sending us manufactured goods. this is really a sort of a semicolonial trading relationship that china has with, for instance, africa and

latin america, and we're the ones dealing -- doing it. this is not a good story for us. eric: and so bomb line, do not -- bottom line, you do not expect xi to attend the inauguration. >> no, i don't, because he can't be there at a time where this celebrates president trump's election and american democracy in general. eric: gordon chang, who always has his finger on the buttndton of what's going on in beijing and behind closed door, always good to see you. of the gatestone institute. thank you. >> thanks, eric. eric: president-elect trump appointing an a.i. and crypto czar. that's a move that's seen as positive around the tech world, but what could artificial intelligence and the regulation of it look like in the incoming administration? we'll tell you next right here on "fox news to live."ir on "fox news to live."ir ♪em ♪ that's why at fisher investments we start by getting to know each other. so i can learn about your family, lifestyle, goals and needs, allowing us to tailor your portfolio.

initiative to allow all kinds of technologies to bloom here in the u.s. as opposed to china as you pointed out in that clip. if i don't know whether -- how crypto is going to be sort of metabolized into our economic system over time, but i thinkable shows an openness to new ideas and letting a how flowers bloom and allow innovators and entrepreneurs to try new things. arthel: you know, still as we know crypto remains unregulated, and president-elect trump has named david sacks as a.i. and crypto czar. apparently, it's a part-time position. and sacks does not have to get confirmed by the senate, the way i understand it. if so again, i'm not asking you for investment tips because i know that's not your place, but just in terms of analysis, what might this mean for the immediate and long-term future of crypto? is it here to stay perhaps? >> i think what you're seeing in the selection of david sacks as well as the mom nomination --

nomination for sec chair paul atkins, these are people who are favorable to crypto. i think what the industry wants is some kind of regularization. to your point, i think the industry wants clear rules of the road that increase confidence, that increase investor trust is people are unlikely to be scammed, and those ventures that are acting in good faith can continue to grow. arthel: so back to the exbiorde. in october of 2023 president biden signed an executive order meant to promote, heir saying promote the safety of secure and trustworthy development and use of artificial intelligence within the federal government. and seven leading a.i. companies agreed to the guidelines to safely develop, safely develop a.i. still no federal regulations that specifically address a.i. now also, satya, reportedly the

trump administration will likely, i understand, have a more hands-off approach to the industry. so how does this sit with you? >> look, i think anyone who pretends to speak for the president is telling on themselves. but we can look to what he said, and i think we can even look to what he did in his first term. you know, a.i. did not start under the biden administration. there was extensive work done in trump one, an executive order, a number of initiatives to promote growth and innovation, and they used words like trustworthy and safe in those ec executive orders too. so i think president-elect trump, he's been publicly saying that he thinks a.i. is a superpower, but also it can be really scary. so you just had a segment with ambassador with done chang talking about can china. china poses a pretty significant national security risk when it comes to a.i. so what i'd like to see and i think we might if see is the u.s. leading in development of technical standards.

these are not regulations, but we need standards to show the world so that other countries will adopt u.s. principles, u.s. technical standards not because they're our friends, because they have an incentive. it's in their interests to do it. i think you'll see a continuation of that first trump term of american leadership. i think president-elect trump wants to be the leader of the world many in a.i. but we have to get serious about the national security risks that are implicated as a.i. matures and is built out into our critical infrastructure. arthel: uh-huh. thank you for your analysis on that, satya. good to see you. take care. and we'll be right back. leo!

the equipment. the federal aviation administration says exhaustion and burnout among controllers has impacted safety and led to accidents in recent years. in response, the agency now mandates these employees have more time off in between shifts. in the biden administration, they've asked congress for more funding to fill the gaps. >> without this funding along with continued focus on air traffic control staffing, the f ark a will struggle to maintain the capacity of the system, let alone modernize or expand it for new users and emerging technologies. >> reporter: and more changes to the faa could be coming soon. today administrator michael whitaker announced his plans to step down when president-elect trump takes office. in washington, griff jenkins, fox news. arthel: thanks, griff. so coming up, another hour of "fox news live." stay with us. the woman who accused three duke lacrosse players of raping her 18 years ago now admitting she made the whole story up.
