>> eric: despite some shocking video, a new jersey council woman says she will not resign, after the release of this. take a look. this video showing her allegedly hitting that cycist as she drove down the city street and blasting through the scene. welcome to fox news live. i'm eric shawn. >> arthel: hello. i'm arthel neville. we want to warn you, many of you may find this disturbing, but it appears to show a new jersey city council woman car hitting

this cyclist and just driving away, despite calls for her resignation, her spokesperson telling fox news that she plans to remain in office. we're following this story. we are live in our new york city newsroom. >> you saw the biker pop up. this could have been so much worse. a lot of people are waiting for a more public response from the council woman. her office confirms with fox news in the past two hours she's not stepping down despite thousands of people calling for her job. take a look. this happened on july 19th. the council woman is accusing of driving the black suv. the driver had green light here. but it's what happened afterwards that's drawing the criticism. the biker gets hit, remarkably, pops right up, walks over to the sidewalk. police say he complained of pain in his ankle and leg. he didn't see the car's plate number. but police tracked it down using surveillance cameras. that car is registered to the council woman.

police say two summons were issued for leaving the scene of an accident and failing to report it. over 3,000 people are calling on her to step down. it claims she put her own ambitions above the well being of residents. the petition also calls on other council members to publicly support her resignation. as for the council woman herself, her spokesperson sent this fox news this, it says quote, amy recognizes the calls that have been made for additional information and transparency. she would very much like to address this situation more comprehensively, but there is a legal process that must play out first. that statement also says she will speak about it when that legal process is over. her office says she's thankful that no one was seriously injured. again, it could have been a lot worse, arthel. >> arthel: nate live in our new york city newsroom, thank you, nate. >> you got it. >> eric: to the horrible flooding down south in kentucky. the governor of the state says

so far at least 26 people have died in the massive flooding last week in the eastern part of that state. one woman says that she barely escaped her home just in time before the raging waters destroyed it. >> it was in the house. the building started coming out. it took about five minutes for that to happen. five, six minutes, and it was gone, from the time i got out of the house. >> eric: the devastation so widespread and just heart breaking. governor besheer says the number of deaths is likely to rise and that it could take weeks to find all of the flood victims. even more heavy rain is set to be forecast for that area later today and tomorrow. fox weather correspondent nicole valdez reports from kentucky. >> the story across eastern kentucky truly only gets harder to tell the more we learn and

unfortunately the more that death toll continues to rise. you're looking at what used to be a home here in kentucky that's now reduced to nothing but cinderblocks and mud. you think about what used to make this house a home and the lifetime of memories that used to be inside these walls here, and truly there's nothing left there. instead all of the belongings, all of these families' memories ru -- are now scattered across the road here. follow me, and you can see what's left. nothing but pieces of insulation. you are looking at some appliances back there. even bed frames. i mean, this was this family's life, and now it's reduced to nothing. not only are we looking at just the devastating amount of physical damage across eastern kentucky, you're also being told there are still search and rescue efforts ongoing today. there are still many who are unaccounted for. emergency responders going door-to-door trying to get access to communities that have just been blocked off as homes

and mud and debris have just completely covered roads. it's been impossible to make entry into some of those communities over the last few days, which is why governor andy beshear continues to believe the death toll will only continue to rise. >> we know of many others. we know there are bodies that we are still processing, and when you see the devastation of this flooding that has carried houses, hundreds of yards, if not more, we know we'll still be finding people sadly, learn about everyone that's missing, check on every single one of them. hopefully reunite them with their families, but if not, we're going to be there with them through the toughest of the tough. >> thousands remain without power or access to clean water. among the wreckage, hope from loved ones who are still missing, family members that they will hear good news rather than another number added to

that death toll. in kentucky, i'm nicole valdez, fox news. >> arthel: nicole, thank you. there are two new causes of concern for the white house. president biden testing positive for covid once again, and house speaker nancy pelosi's trip to asia and china's threat to down the speaker's plane, should she travel to taiwan. speaker pelosi tweeted overnight that she'll visit singapore, malaysia, south korea, and japan, no mention of a possible trip to taiwan which again sparked that ominous warning from beijing. griff jenkins is live at the white house with the very latest. griff? >> good afternoon, arthel. the president's monitoring that trip while ice liting here in the -- isolating here in the residence with the president's doctor releasing a new letter to us saying the president is feeling well and maintaining strict isolation measures, and adding this, quote, the president continues to be very specifically conscientious to protect any of the executive residents, white house, secret service, and other staff whose

duties require any of being socially distanced proximity to him. it comes amid new questions over how strictly the president adhered to cdc guidelines last week. arthel, the white house also telling us this afternoon that the president had six close contacts and none have tested positive so far. this comes as you mentioned tensions rising with china with all eyes on a possible pelosi stop in taiwan. take a look here at this map. you can see taiwan located right between those announced stops, singapore, malaysia, and south korea, and japan, but as you mentioned, no taiwan visit officially on her schedule. yet the prospect of it is drawing criticism from republicans. >> i don't know why speaker pelosi signalled her trip to taiwan so far in advance to give the chinese an opportunity to respond this way. it is outrageous that china would start threatening america just because the speaker of the house and delegation would visit

taiwan. i don't think she can back down because that just gives china even more cause to continue their aggressive behavior. >> meanwhile the uss ronald reagan its group have moved into the south china sea with the pentagon not commenting on the movements. the white house has not explicitly advised pelosi not to visit taiwan, but they are reassuring beijing that the administration's policy has not changed in any way. arthel? >> arthel: griff jenkins live at the white house, thanks. we will have more on the speaker's trip when former state department senior advisor christian whiten joins us later this hour. >> eric: just 100 days to go before the midterms, and there are many races to talk to you about, races both in missouri as well as arizona, key primaries taking place there on tuesday. the border security and immigration, major issues down south. meanwhile, several g.o.p.

candidates in missouri are running for the chance as you can see retiring senator roy blunt there. we have team fox news coverage in all these races. hillary vaughan is in missouri. let's start with alicia acuna in phoenix. hi, alicia? >> hi, eric. there are two big g.o.p. primaries here, one for the u.s. senate, the other for the governor's office. we'll begin at the governor's office. the candidate who is endorsed by former president trump is targeting the biden administration on the border and also outgoing republican governor doug doocy saying he could have done more. >> he could have, when joe biden started pulling all this, he could have gotten down there and say we're not going to allow it. we're going to put our arizona national guard down there, arm them and stop people from coming across. >> doocy has endorsed robeson as

has former vice president pence. robeson has been hitting lake and says she's the real deal. >> the border patrol council, the national troopers, state troopers, arizona police association all joining my campaign. they know who i am. they know what i stand for. they know i have a record of accomplishing things. >> to the senate now, black masters leads in the g.o.p. race -- blake masters leads in the g.o.p. race to take on democrat incumbent kelly. masters said this about the biden administration's decision to complete the border fence along the yuma sector. >> it is just for show. it is almost like there's an election coming up. the democrats know they have failed. mark kelly has failed, he has nothing to positive to run on. all of a sudden they are going to pretend to be super serious about border security. >> senator kelly actually pushed president biden to complete that border fence, and fox news has reached out to senator kelly for an interview. we have yet to hear back.

>> eric: thanks, alicia. >> arthel: in missouri the candidates are pitching themselves as political outsiders even though the top contenders have all held public office before. hillary vaughn is live in farmington, missouri. with more. hey, hillary. >> hi, arthel. this race has been about sticking to it the establishment. republicans running to replace retiring senator roy blunt are embracing the maga movement and rejected so called rinos, republicans in name only. eric schmidt just wrapped up an event in farmington missouri. he criticized both of his opponents, a congresswoman and a former governor who resigned from the job amid sexual misconduct allegations telling me they don't have what it takes to take on their own party. >> i'm running against two people, one of which is part of that establishment d.c. she's voted for every terrible spending bill and i'm running

against a guy that quit, quit on the state, in addition to all the other scandals that would jeopardize the seat if we don't take the senate back. >> hartzler is disputing saying her time in washington is a bad thing. she says her time in congress can prove she can deliver for missouri. >> i have gotten things done for them and stood up against the establishment. i'm willing to do the tough things, even if it means bucking my party. >> in the last few days, both hartzler and schmidt have come out against mitch mcconnell saying they won't support him for majority leader if republicans take back control of the senate in november. but former governor says he was the first candidate in the race to do that telling me his opponents' recent opposition to mcconnell is politically convenient. >> these are rinos who have been supporting mitch mcconnell for

years. they are also career politicians and lawyers. the crisis that we're in is not just because of the left's craziness, and not just because of the mainstream media lies, it is also because of the corruption and cowardice of the rhino political establishment -- rino political establishment. >> former president trump hinted he did like the former governor even though he admits he's controversial. either way if president trump does weigh in two days before election day, that would certainly shake things up here in missouri. arthel? >> arthel: hillary vaughn in farmington, missouri. thank you. fox news alert on the passing of two trail blazing african american icons. >> eric: nba legend bill russell, one of the greatest basketball players of all time has died. russell anchored the boston celtics dynasty that won 11

championships in 13 years, the last two with russell has player coach. he was the first african american head coach in any major u.s. team sport. russell was also a noted civil rights activist. he led an nba boycott way back in 1961 to protest racism and was awarded the presidential medal of freedom in 2010 by president obama. the former president tweeting this today, quote, perhaps more than anyone else, bill knew what it took to win and what it took to lead on the court. he was the greatest champion in basketball history. off of it he was a civil rights trailblazer marching with dr. king and standing with muhammad ali. bill russell's family has not announced his cause of death. >> arthel: and we have also lost michelle nichols who played a lieutenant in the classic tv series "star trek". her son posted on facebook that she died last night of natural causes. she was one of the first black women featured in a major

television series. in one episode she [inaudible] william shatner's captain cook, one of the most prominent instances of an interracial kiss on american television at the time. nichols spent her later years pro moting nasa and recruiting more women and ethnic minorities including the first american female astronaut. two icons, bill russell was 88 years old. michelle nichols was 89. uhh... here, i'll take that! yay!!! ensure max protein, with 30 grams of protein, 1 gram of sugar enter powered by protein challenge for a chance to win big! ♪ you ain't seen nothin' yet ♪ ♪ b-b-baby, you just ain't seen n-n-nothin' yet ♪ ♪ here's something, ♪ ♪ here's something you're never gonna fff-forget, baby ♪ get a dozen shrimp for only one dollar with any steak entrée.

>> arthel: russian president putin has officially designated the u.s. as russia's top rival. as russia gains ground in eastern ukraine, president zelensky is warning people in an eastern region to evacuate. alex hogan is live in ukraine's capital of kyiv with more. alex? >> hi, arthel. during the country's navy parade today in russia, russian president putin thanked his naval top brass and also signed a doctrine reiterating the country's greatest threat which it says is quote the strategic policy of the usa to dominate

the world's oceans. putin also touting new potential weapons on the horizon. >> translator: the latest hypersonic missile systems have no equal in the world for which there are no barriers. their delivery to the russian armed forces will begin in the coming months. >> back here in ukraine, during tonight's nightly address to the country, president zelenskyy reiterated that he will not give in to the kremlin and thanked those fighting to protect ukraine's borders. despite that, he called for a mandatory evacuation of a region as russian forces make new gains. >> translator: there are hundreds of thousands of people, tens of thousands of children, many people refuse to leave, but it really needs to be done. >> russia overnight unleashing a heavy bombardment in the southern city. the city's mayor calling it the most intense attack since the start of the war. new images today of ukrainian

forces discovering a body of a person who was reportedly tortured by occupiers. that person's body was found outside of the city of kyiv, where i am located with their hands bound, a wound on their neck and signs of strangulation. arthel? >> arthel: alex hogan live in kyiv, ukraine, thank you, alex. >> eric: the message from china is loud and clear. the communist party doesn't want house speaker pelosi visiting taiwan, and the chinese government-controlled media even reported the threat that her plane would be shot down if he tries. chinese military officials also say they performed live fire exercises just off the coast opposite taiwan, did that yesterday, perhaps as a blunt message. that was two days after china's president reportedly warned the u.s. not to quote play with fire on taiwan. that came in a two-hour phone call between president xi and president biden. if the speaker does visit the

country, she would be the highest ranking u.s. official to visit since then speaker newt gingrich did so in 1997. will she go? will she skip? former state department senior advisor under presidents trump and george w. bush. should nancy pelosi do you think go to taiwan? >> i think she should. i think she will as well. she's actually been tough on china. at this point, it would look so weak to pack down -- back down. it is important for her to go, to show that these are two very different countries. taiwan is a democracy. it has representative democracy. they love america. they buy our weapons. they don't expect us to give them to them. there's so much to go and celebrate. this is pelosi's last trip potentially of her career if democrats lose the house as many expect them to do this november.

one presumes she would probably retire from congress. >> eric: taiwan is not on the list of the country that her office released, south korea, japan, malaysia, singapore, what do you make of the fact that it is not on the list? what do you think she will not make that stop? >> it was a little strange for president biden to say in an offhand remark at the press conference that the military didn't want pelosi to go. the pentagon bureaucracy at the pentagon. sometimes the bureaucrats at u.s. indo pacific command and pearl harbor, it is never a good time to be aggressive with china. the state department feels the same way. congress is a different branch of government. she can go. there's precedent which she cited. i think it was probably left off the itinerary. i guess you can keep the chinese guessing and wondering. if she doesn't go, it would signal profound weakness and call into question america's commitment to alliances in the

region. japan is watching this closely. singapore where pelosi is definitely going looking at this closely. >> eric: there is a lot of reaction to this. former director to national intelligence radcliffe and read you what the new york post said >> it's been mismanaged by the biden administration. at this point she does need to go for the sake of our national security so the american people see that chinese communist party is not dictating america's foreign policy. president biden his weakness comes through. we didn't have high expectations for the call. very clearly he didn't back up the speaker's right to go to taiwan. as a result president xi is acting on that weakness. >> eric: new york post editorial board says quote no speaker of the house should ever trust her travel plans to appease any foreign ruler let alone a gang of genocidal dictators. cancelling would tell beijing and the world that washington is run by whips and that taiwan

would not have its back. madame speaker call beijing's bluff. if it is not on the list, it is not cancelled. do you think that's part of the strategy that she does as you said leave it off the list but then like does a quick pop-in? >> that's probably what's going to happen and the trump administration, one cabinet official went and somewhat more importantly an undersecretary of state for economics which was probably the senior most state department official since we broke relations with taiwan in the late 70s to visit. it wasn't really advertised that much in advance. the odd thing here is we're in this position where china thinks it can dictate schedules and also we're in this defensive position. why is the uss ronald reagan, an aircraft carrier and her group of ships in the south china sea as opposed to gulf of mexico and sea of cortez? because of chinese misconduct

and aggression and it is because of the crazy things that one of their mouthpieces have said. it is weird we're finding ourselves in a defensive position. it would be no duh of course the speaker can go to taiwan. we are a free country. it is a free country. it is great to have vips visit taiwan. what the rubber really meets the road where china really pays attention is actually the balance of power economically and militarily and we had not really done anything to increase our force posture in the pacific as china has gotten more aggressive and their military has grown. >> eric: a visit would certainly show that we have taiwan's back and it is an important ally, even if we don't have official diplomatic relations. we will see if a visit does come about this week. christian, good to see you as always. thank you for joining us. >> appreciate it. >> arthel: a missouri couple is turning heart break into action. their 16-year-old son cooper davis took a pill he thought was percocet from a dealer he found online. turns out it was spiked with

fentanyl and cooper died of poisoning. his parents are sharing his story to combat this crisis in a campaign they call keeping clean for coop. they're going to join us next. so we need something super distinctive... dad's work, meet daughter's playtime. thankfully, meta portal auto pans and zooms to keep you in frame. and the meeting on track. meta portal. the smart video calling device that makes work from home work for you. >> tech: when you have auto glass damage... choose safelite. the smart video calling device we can come to you and replace your windshield. >> grandkid: here you go! >> tech: wow, thank you! >> customer and grandkids: bye! >> tech: bye! don't wait, schedule now. >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪ every year we try to exercise more, to be more social, to just relax.

and eating healthy every single meal? if only it was this easy for us.

>> arthel: an up close and very personal look now at america's fentanyl crisis. according to the cdc, synthetic opioid deaths primarily fentanyl grew nearly 85% from 2020 to 2022, for the same 12-month period. one of those victims was 16-year-old cooper davis from kansas. he died last august of fentanyl poisoning. his parents say he took half of a fake prescription percocet pill that he got from a drug dealer through the app snapchat. they have since started keeping the clean for coop campaign to advocate for mental health

support and teaching in schools of the dangers of fentanyl. joining us now are cooper's parents libby and randy davis. thank you for joining us. cooper was also with three of his friends who they also took half of those pills, but your son was the only one who died as a result. tell us about the moment you decided to form keeping clean for coop. whoever wants to start. >> right. thank you for having us. we know this is an important message that we want to get out to really the nation. but initially we just wanted to make sure that our community and especially the students at cooper's high school were informed about the dangers of fentanyl in counterfeit pills. so keeping clean for coop started really as an idea for a bumper sticker that we hoped the kids would use on their cars or their water bottles, their notebooks, and it could serve as

a pledge to them and a reminder, you know, to really remember how dangerous it can be take any pill that was not prescribed by a physician and filled by a pharmacy. >> arthel: mr. davis, i mean, what you and your wife are doing is so admirable. you could have easily sort of shut down and not do anything. who do you hope to reach through your efforts? what's your intention here? your wife gave us an idea. how do you see it? what was it like for you when you just said i've got to do something, i can't crawl in a hole. >> we just honestly we know cooper would want us to do something. that's the main goal behind this is that he would not be the kid to sit back. he would warn people, so that's what we're wanting to carry on and make sure, you know, not only just our community but, you know, this epidemic is affecting many states and many places, so

obviously we're in the midwest. we're trying to help here. there's many organizations and families helping throughout the united states right now doing the same thing we are. >> arthel: yeah. and you know, this could happen anyone. kids experiment, and they thought they were taking a percocet, had no idea that this pill was laced fentanyl. you know, it's been a year now. you are doing as you told me what you think cooper would want you to do. the pictures we have seen of him that you've shared with us, he seemed that he was just -- you know, had an infectious smile, very active, seems a very sweet kid. what more would you like us to remember about cooper? >> you know, i think cooper was an adventurous kid, but with that also came the mindset of it

would never happen to me. i think he felt like he was just invincible, which is not uncommon for the teens in our country. we want his story to serve as a cautionary tale that it can happen to anyone, and no one in america is safe right now, and awareness is our number one defense, so we need everyone, every community across the country to come together and start talking about the fentanyl epidemic so that our youth especially really does believe the dangers that are involved because the days of being able to experiment with drugs are over. it is russian roulette. >> arthel: keeping it clean for coop.com. mr. davis, what resources can be found there? >> you know, there's information about just education.

there's statistics that you can find. there's, you know -- if you're needing immediate help or immediate help finding a place to get help, that's things we're trying to offer through that website. and then also we're hoping to have a pledge on there pretty soon that people can do a digital -- or not digital but an online signature to sign a pledge that you are, you know, taking the pledge that you will -- you know, one pill can kill, and you're not going to do that, and you're going to warn your friends, your family, your cousins, everyone. >> arthel: listen, what you are doing again is so admirable. we wish you all the best. libby and randy davis, founders of the cleaning it clean for coop foundation. cooper's mom and dad, thank you so very much. we hope we can help, if there's anything else you need, just loet us know >> -- just let us know. >> thank you for having us. >> arthel: of course. eric? >> eric: such an important

democrat joe manchin there was on the sunday public affairs shows really pushing what he has done depending the party's new 433 billion dollars reconciliation bill known as the inflation reduction act. president biden and manchin say that the inflation reduction act will tame inflation, help our economy, and lower energy costs. but republican critics say the bill, though, will only hurt the economy further. >> so this is a disaster. this is going to make our recession worse. it is going to make inflation worse. it is not going to do any good. >> this is false advertising by the democrats. this is the last big wish, a dying wish of a party that knows that they are going to get [inaudible] come november. >> eric: it is horrible. it is great. co founder of base politics, policy analyst for the foundation for economic -- joins us now. do you think it will indeed reduce inflation as it is

intended? >> no, because it is not an inflation reduction act at all. it is basically build back better 2.0, with the same green energy subsidies and everything else we saw the first time around. you can put lipstick on a pig but it is still a pig. calling something an inflation reduction act doesn't mean it will actually reduce inflation. it stated its claims because it will reduce budget deficits by 30 billion dollars a year over the next decade that will supposedly reduce inflation. that does nothing to address monetary policy, printing money, which is the biggest cause of inflation, and fortunately it is little more of a rounding error on the actual 30.6 trillion dollar national debt, so it's not going to make much of a difference. also you don't just have to take my word for it. the wharton school of business just came out with an analysis that found it will have a statistically incig nant impact on inflation -- in- --

insignificant impact on inflation. >> eric: why do you think senator manchin has changed his mind? publicly he says there's not as much spending in this bill as the previous one, that's why he's on board. >> it is less spending but still a lot. the democrats are probably going to lose some power coming up in the midterm. it is really sad because senator manchin was standing in the gap against build back better against wasting trillions of dollars and now he seems to be going along with a light version of this, even though, you know, he's honest he betraying what -- honestly he's betraying what he told constituents.

this plan includes 315 billion dollars in new corporate minimum tax. you can't say that your plan between and other provisions will raise over 700 billion in new revenue but on the other side of the mouth tell us you are not raising taxes. that simply doesn't work. that's not how math works. he's raising taxes on business and workers right as we start a recession. that's a terrible idea. >> eric: talking about washington-speak. in one of the interviews he pointed out that 55 fortune 500 companies don't pay taxes and this bill will require a 15% minimum tax for corporations. he specifically said they are not increasing taxes. they said they are closing a loophole. i mean, do you buy that explanation from the senator? >> no. no, i don't at all. you can't raise hundreds of billions of new dollars, like you say you are going to without raising taxes. let's be clear for a moment. when we say corporate taxes, they are formally levelled on corporations but almost all economists agree that a huge chunk of the corporate tax is

borne by workers through lower wages. that's something of a consensus. they quibble about the exact percentages but everyone pretty much acknowledges corporate taxes hurt workers. what he's really admitting to is hundreds of billions of tax hikes on american workers right as we enter a recession and are struggling with inflation. that's not building back better by any reasonable estimation. >> eric: also during the interviews, he also talked about meeting in secret with chuck schumer. and they did that, he said, because he didn't want the drama. guess who they are going to face now? kirsten sinema, she was reading it on the plane back to arizona for the weekend. what do you think will happen when she gets into this? are they meeting a buzz saw that they didn't realize when they came out shaking hands on this deal? >> well, i think so. she's a democrat. she's a moderate, but she's a pretty bold woman. she said i won't vote to raise taxes. so if she looks at this deal

high-profile murder mysteries in the nation and one that still has her family seeking justice and pushing investigators, dna experts, and government officials to come together and use cutting edge dna technology to find answers in this case. >> there's evidence that's never been tested for dna, never been sampled for dna, and the latest technologies to be employed >> the frustration of searching for his daughter's killer is still painful for john ramsey who tells me he's preparing to submit a petition with over 17,000 signatures to colorado governor polis next week to put dna testing decisions in the hands of a new agency outside the boulder police department. >> the latest technology exists in the labs and those really cutting-edge laboratories that are using state of the art techniques to analyze dna

samples. that's where this needs to go. >> if government officials don't respond after the petition is submitted, ramsey says he will absolutely seek legal action. investigative genetic genealogy could be the answer to finally solving this case that has haunted the family of their 6-year-old daughter, who was murdered inside her home the day after christmas in 1996. >> that means we can detect dna on things they never would have imagined, touch dna, saliva that wasn't found previously. there are new technologies that are able to extract out that dna from clothing, from rope, from any different types of material that didn't exist before. >> a genetic genealogist telling fox this week she thinks the case could be solved within hours under certain circumstances if the boulder police would allow labs like hers to have access to the dna

in the case. it can help track down a family member of the suspect and could lead to her killer. >> we have been able to solve on average one crime per week using this technology. >> the 6-year-old's family says they hope keeping the pressure on will bring them results. >> we won't let this case end up in a dusty file cabinet in the boulder police department. that's not acceptable. >> the boulder police telling fox this is still an active and ongoing investigation and the department meets with multiple entities on a regular basis including private labs and the fbi. a spokesperson for the colorado governor's office said they have no updates at this time. in new york, laura ingle, fox news. >> eric: there was a bizarre death in north carolina. investigators say that the co pilot of a small cargo plane was killed on friday after he fell or jumped from that plane as it was making an emergency landing at the raleigh durham international airport.

they say 22-year-old co pilot didn't have a parachute. he fell out and landed sadly in a bunch of trees in a backyard about 30 miles from the airport. the pilot of the plane did remain on board. he made that emergency landing safely, and he had reported a landing gear issue. arthel? >> arthel: today is a milestone for fans of futuristic cartoons. we'll explain after the break. i brought in ensure max protein with 30 grams of protein. those who tried me felt more energy in just two weeks. uhh... here, i'll take that! yay!!! ensure max protein, with 30 grams of protein, 1 gram of sugar enter powered by protein challenge for a chance to win big! migraine hits hard... ...so u hit back with ubrelvy. for a chance u put it all on the line. one dose of ubrelvy quickly stops migraine in its tracks within 2 hours. do not take with strong cyp3a4 inhibitors. most common side effects were nausea and tiredness. ask about ubrelvy, the anytime, anywhevery year we trycine.
