that libyan leader moammar qaddafi has left tripoli, but, of course, that city has been seized and is mostly under the control now we understand of the libyan rebels. there is a question as to what this means for our troops. earlier, it was leaked that the president was saying this does not change our position, that there will be no american troops on the ground now, although some are calling for that. we will hear from the president himself directly on what this means for america and beyond. stay tuned for that. meantime, we ve got an alert for you out of aruba, brand new video is coming in as investigators launch a new massive search for this missing american woman, robin gardner vanished earlier this month in aruba, search teams of police and the military now fanning out across the island in a desperate bid to find her. phil keating is streaming live from aruba. what has led to this increased search effort?
other highlights as you heard them? reporter: right. that s right. a lot of critical questions. interesting, because as you say, the president was saying this regime was over, but his spokesman was here telling reporters that the u.s. does not know moammar gadhafi s exact whereabouts. maybe they know a little bit more in private, but on the one hand they re saying the regime is over, but on the other hand they re still figuring out exactly where he is. and they also told us that they do not believe he s left libya yet. so we have to get a handle on that. remarkable as this arab spring continues to change power, have an impact all across the region, and the fact that after 42 years in power, gadhafi appears to be heading out, so many americans killed in cold blood as the president said by his acts of terror. i want to also point out between what the president said and his aides are saying privately, that they re reiterating there ll be no u.s. boots put on the ground in a post-gadhafi
giordano to do that. keep in mind there was a new witness that came out over the weekend saying he was on a boat, fishing, spotted that couple, says they never got into the water. megyn: we just don t know what happened at this point. but the search continues. yes. megyn: for a body, or for answers. phil keating, thank you. fox news alert now, we are awaiting a statement from the leader of the free world, momentarily on the rise of freedom from the ashes of a brutal dictatorship, brand new hour here of america live , welcome, i m megyn kelly. president obama is set to speak live, any second now, on what appears to be the fall of moammar qaddafi, libyan rebels said to control nearly all of their capitol city, and reports say a body found moments ago outside of tripoli may be one of qaddafi s sons. so far no sign of the libyan man who ruled for 40 years, but what does this mean for the united states? bret baier is the anchor of special report , with me
his re-election bid. this is, i mean, you tell me, but this is another victory for the president in terms of a plan that was much maligned and criticized by his opponents and yet seems to have worked out in the way the president wanted. reporter: yeah. two caveats. one is it s not over yet. they don t have gadhafi, and it s not fully established that but it seems like it s heading that way. and they ve said his days are numbered, and now they are likely single digits. two is that there s still criticism about how it s developed, and there are questions about the post-gadhafi regime and how that will work out. so if you, if supporters give the president full props, if you will, for how this has turned out, the question is whether the administration will then own the post-gadhafi regime and how that turns out. there clearly, this is a good development no matter how you look at it, what your ideological spectrum is. the fact that gadhafi appears to
flight 103. stan, thank you very much for being here. and there s a real question about what now that gadhafi is, as the president put it, his rule is over. what is going to happen to him, what should happen to him? well, i hope the rope is tied and the scaffolding is up because i think that s what they need to do to mr. gadhafi, and i think ma gras hi should join him. megyn: what is your reaction as you see this, these events up folding, gadhafi losing power, new questions raised about the man convicted of murdering your daughter and 269 others? your question again? i m sorry, i didn t hear. megyn: what is your reaction as you see my megyn: moammar gadhafi being ousted from power we think. we don t officially know where he is right now, but that s how it seems to be coming out as well as new questions raised
