>> john: brand-new at 2:00, a rising star rushed to the trauma center after a brutal hit. >> sandra: it's not the play under fire, it's the decision to send him out there in the first place after what happened in a game just days before.

>> john: welcome back as "america reports" rolls into hour number two. john roberts from washington. >> sandra: sandra smith in new york. one doctor has been shown the door and the nfl making changes to the concussion protocols. critics say it's not enough. >> john: a former player says the league is loyal to the dollar when they should be putting safety first. begin with the devastation down south, and the white house now playing clean-up over comments from the vice president. it's a fox news alert. president biden paying visits to areas ravaged by the hurricanes. at any moment, the president set to touch down in puerto rico, the island crushed by category 1 fiona a couple weeks ago. on wednesday, the president will visit florida after ian tore through the state with deadlyrs fo. >> sandra: crews are working

around the clock, and the vice president said this. >> it is our lowest income communities and our communities of color that are most impacted by these extreme conditions. we have to address this in a way that is about giving resources based on equity. >> sandra: that's right, she said equity over ian, the suggestion that a person's skin color should dictate the assistance they receive in their times of need. now even some folks on the left are calling her a political liability. >> john: charlie hurt with his reaction in moments. >> sandra: peter doocy, the press secretary just weighed in. what did we hear? >> the press secretary was talking to a small group of reporters aboard air force one where she cleaned this up. >> we are commited to getting it

for all communities, full stop. and some in lower income communities have a hard time accessing the help. >> and the vice president's suggestion that race factors into relief in any way does not reflect the way the fema administrator has been talking about getting people help. >> we are going to support all communities. i committed that to the governor, i commit that to you here, all floridians can get the help through our programs. >> another layer to the puerto rico storm response as well. president biden is hoping to establish himself as more attentive to puerto rico's needs than former president trump was. >> heading to puerto rico, they have not been taken very good care of. trying like hell to catch up from the last hurricane, i want to see the state of affairs today and make sure we do everything we can.

>> and just while the sound bites were playing, word from the press pool travelling aboard air force one, they are wheels down in puerto rico and should get some images soon, although we have been told that because the region they are visiting is so hard hit by the recent hurricane in puerto rico, it may take a little while to get the pictures out. >> sandra: keep us posted. john. >> john: bring in charlie hurt, washington times opinion editor and fox news contributor. charlie, for folks at home, a replay of what kamala harris said last week about equity. >> our lowest income communities and our communities of color that are most impacted by these extreme conditions and impacted by issues that are not of their own making and so --

>> and women. >> absolutely. and so we have to address this in a way that is about giving resources based on equity. >> john: the key phrase, giving resources based on equity, a phrase i have never heard associated with disaster relief in this country, in the entire time that i've been covering disasters. >> well, john, there's a reason you've never heard it in association with this. not only is it expressly illegal, a violation of federal law, it's also morally reprehensible. you know, this is the kind of thing you hear from democrats during the campaigns, trying to divide people and divisions to allow them to win elections, it's not the way you talk when you are talking about people who have lost their lives in a horrible natural tragedy that the only silver lining of a tragedy like this is that it brings all of us together and we are all in agreement, we want to see these people made whole.

we want to save lives. we want to get help to these people regardless of what their political difference is, and lord knows regardless of what their racial differences are. and for the vice president to inject race into this story and into this effort is, it's -- i can't think of any word other than reprehensible. >> sandra: considering the fact that search-and-rescue operations are underway as we speak. >> precisely. >> sandra: charlie, it seems many on the left are turning on her after these comments. bill maher had this to say. listen. >> because, yeah, she's -- not very popular anywhere. and didn't seem to work out, and i don't know, that has been done before on a ticket. i think she's a bad politician. >> sandra: do you believe more and more in her own party see

her as a political liability? >> i do, and i think it's exactly statements like this that as bill maher points out, it's not just illegal and not just morally reprehensible, it's politically stupid and really interesting to see how quickly, you know, the white house is so loathed to come out and admit or clean up a mistake made by president biden or even vice president harris, for that matter, but i'm interested in how quickly they came out to clean up, to mop up this mess, i think and the only reason for that is because, especially in a political season, in an election season, politically speaking, it is political malpractice to say something this hideously stupid, especially as you point out we still have search and rescue teams going through the rubble trying to get to people who we pray are still alive, and she's politicizing this and injecting race into it?

oh, my goodness. >> john: i thought karine jean-pierre walked it back, help all communities full stop, much better than when the president was looking for the deceased jackie at the event yesterday. but kamala harris had slips of the tongue, she declared north korea to be our close ally, but did not appear to be a slip of the tongue. appears to be what she believes. >> exactly. it's not a slip of the tongue. this is revealing what she believes, and you know, she goes into that whole thing about equity versus equality. well, in this particular case, equity as she means it, opposite of equality. equality is equal treatment of all people under law, or the equal -- equity is different from that. equity is treating people differently based on the color of their skin in order to reach a desired result, and we have a

term for that, and it's called segregation or racism. we don't do that. and it's not only illegal, it's morally reprehensible. >> sandra: considering the rapid response director for the governor of florida immediately came out and said this is false, the vice president's rhetoric is causing undue pandemic, fema assistance is there for all floridians regardless of race or background. real implications when she said that in that moment, they are saying there was panic from some who thought they would not be addressed in a similar manner to those beside them in their state. that being said, we have the bug on the screen. 36 days to midterm elections, charlie, and saw the narrowing margin from republicans narrowing with democrat, although republicans are still in the lead as far as expectations to flip at least the house. where does this leave democrats when they are having to walk

back comments for their own vice president? >> of course, this is the problem for the party that has been in power for two years, they have controlled the white house and both chambers of commerce, for two years now. everything that happens, of course, very little good happens in an election time like this, that helps the party in power. but a lot of bad things happen to the party that's in power, and i think it's very interesting when you look at what democrats are running on. they are running on things like how terrible donald trump is. donald trump has not been in power for two years. running on january 6th. it doesn't really have anything to do with regular voters every day. running on abortion, probably their best hope, which is -- that's a whole separate thing. i think it's really interesting what democrats are not running on. democrats are not running on their accomplishments, having held power for the past two years, and that tells you something. it's kind of like the dog that doesn't bark. it tells you that they don't

want to talk about their "accomplishments" because either they don't have them or they are embarrassed by them and you have the deal with joe biden forcing taxpayers to pay trillions of dollars to pay off student loan debt. he's not even talking about that at this point because it's become so unpopular. and to me, if i'm going to predict what's going to happen next month, i -- i don't see how this election, you know, i think republicans should be very careful and cautious and work like they are behind, but i think this is going to be a blood bath for democrats. >> john: all right, we'll see. charlie, we have a lot to talk about between now and november 8th as we see the president coming off air force 1 there, in ponce, puerto rico, he will tour damage from fiona. >> sandra: he is expected to

speak later this hour. and fox foundation has donated $1 million, the red cross is on the ground providing aid as well as resources, including shelter, meals, medical supplies, and a whole lot more. for those people who have been impacted directly by this storm, fox is also double matching employee donations to red cross hurricane relief efforts, including ian and fiona. >> john: our thoughts with our tampa and orlando station teams and fox employees in the area and everyone affected by the storm. thank you to all our fox weather and teams across the country who are covering this disaster, and to everybody who is pitching in in the wake of this disaster to try to bring back some shred of normalcy down there, life that will be affected for years to come. >> sandra: neighbors helping out neighbors, the smallest steps in some cases are the biggest and mean the most for the people desperately in need, john. >> john: a bag of ice sometimes, the greatest gift you could get. >> sandra: absolutely.

like many u.s. cities, one california city is seeing a spike in murders. unlike other places, investigators say the homicides seem to have something chilling in common. police are issuing a disturbing warning. that is coming up. >> john: gavin newsom is about to sign a bill into law, details how doctors could be punished for simply giving an honest opinion. jonathan turley gives us his take on that, and the new supreme court season coming up. veteran homeowners, need cash? with the newday 100 loan, there are no upfront costs for appraisal or termite inspections. no upfront costs at all to get the cash you need. veterans get more at newday. ♪ giorgio, look! the peanut butter box is here. ralph, that's the chewy pharmacy box with our flea and tick meds. it's not peanut butter. ♪ the peanut butter box is here ♪

the abcs of ckd a is for awareness, because knowing that your chronic kidney disease in type 2 diabetes could progress to dialysis is important. b is for belief that there may be more you can do. just remember that k is for kidneys and kerendia. for adults living with ckd in type 2 diabetes, kerendia is proven to reduce the risk of kidney failure, which can lead to dialysis. kerendia is a once-daily tablet that treats ckd differently than type 2 diabetes medications to help slow the progression of kidney damage and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks. do not take kerendia if you have problems with your adrenal glands or take certain medications called cyp3a4 inhibitors. kerendia can cause hyperkalemia, which is high potassium levels in your blood. ask your doctor before taking products containing potassium. kerendia can also cause low blood pressure and low sodium levels. so now that you know your abcs, remember, k is for kidneys, and if you need help slowing kidney damage,

>> sandra: doctors in california have to be careful about what they say, because a new law signed by governor newsom lets

the government decide which speech isn't free, if you have an m. d. jonathan turley is with us and he is tired up about that. on to this, a dangerous mystery developing in northern california. police in stockton searching for a possible serial killer after five men were murdered. jonathan hunt on this, live in the west coast news hub. so, what do we know now about the killings, jonathan? >> well, sandra, for a while seemed like random unrelated killings but now police believe they are connected and a serial killer may be stalking the streets of stockton. five men have been shot dead since july, all late at night or early in the morning while walking alone in largely unlit areas of the city. >> no family should have to walk around their city in fear or looking over their shoulder. >> the killings began on july 8,

'25-year-old man was shot. then on august 11th, another killing and again on august 30th and september 21st, the most recent shooting happening on september 27th. police have called out gang violence, robbery and hate crimes, even though four victims are hispanic. the motivation of the shooter or shooters is unknown. >> please do not fall victim. be alert. have your head on a swivel, stay where it's lit. communicate. >> and officials say they need help in particular to track down this man who they say is a person of interest. there is now a reward of $85,000 for information leading to an arrest. and in the last few hours, sandra, we have got reports of another fatal shooting in the early hours of this morning. no indication yet as to whether this latest murder is connected

to the previous five, but stockton is a city on edge today. sandra. >> sandra: certainly. john. >> john: california governor newsom signing another controversial bill into law, the latest legislation could punish doctors for spreading covid misinformation to patients. let's bring in jonathan turley, george washington university law previous and fox news contributor. jonathan, i'm wondering in this law, who gets to determine what is and what isn't misinformation? because if you go back to some of the things that were being said in the spring of 2020 about covid, some of them are a lot different now than what folks were saying back then. >> that's right, and john, that is the concern of the free speech community. this law is chilling and what it says about free speech in california. these doctors are being told that if they are viewed as

spreading misinformation, it will be considered unprofessional conduct, threatinging their licenses. issues like mask and vaccine efficacy are all being cited as areas where they want to stop misinformation. those are all areas where people were banned from social media making statements that are now considered to be matters in good faith. issues that are worth debating. back then when people questioned whether masks were effective, they were barred. and under this law presumably you could have used this law to threaten their licenses. but what was really essential about those dissenters, they forced discussion and some proved to be right. >> john: i remember a lot of things. told initially once the vaccine gets out there, one shot and you are done, or rather two shots

and then done, and a booster, and another booster and an omicron specific bloos ter. it's so fluid when it comes to covid, how do you label something as misinformation today that could become accepted fact broadly tomorrow? >> the problem -- the problem is they are targeting the very people that we want to feel free to express concerns and doubts. these are the people that we need to be part of the debate, and they are chilling that debate. i don't know why democrats have become the party of censorship and speech control. you know, i come from a very liberal democratic family in chicago. i don't recognize the party anymore. used to be this was a defining part of the democratic party. now law after law is about controlling the speech of others, sensoring the speech of others. but this is very dangerous because what you are doing is threatening the very people we need to hear from if they have doubts about what is being put

forward in policy. >> john: so today is the first monday in october, that means it's the start of the new season for the supreme court. i've got box seats to watch the whole thing. what are we going to be looking for, jonathan, in terms of some of the more interesting or controversial cases that the court is going to take up this session? >> well, you should buckle up. looks like another huge term for this supreme court. you have a stable 6-3 majority, bringing clarity to areas that were rife with 5-4 splits on the court. this term we are going to have a major case on affirmative action, actually two. one from harvard, one from north carolina, about the use of race. it was 21 years ago that justice o'connor said in one of these 5-4 cases that she did not believe that they would rely on race in 25 years as a criteria at all. that was 21 years ago. the question is, is there a majority now to say enough. we don't want race used as a

criteria. there is a huge first amendment case coming up called 303 creative. this is a case dealing with a designer who declined to work with a same-sex couple on their wedding design for the web. she cited religious objections. we had this issue come up in a case called masterpiece cake shop. that sort of fizzled out. the court took an exit ramp. this one doesn't have an exit ramp. it's coming up with a very simple question, does she have a free speech right to refuse. >> john: and we will look forward to following all of it along with you, jonathan turley, thanks so much. appreciate it. and the other thing we are looking for, where is the report on the person who leaked the dobbs decision last year. >> sandra: hopefully we have that soon. >> john: feels like last year, last term i should say. >> sandra: i believe justice

gorsuch at a conference indicated we would see that soon. but quickly to governor gavin newsom and the prioritization, you look at the drugs, the homelessness, the crime that is happening in his state, and where he is prioritizing his efforts in time, and that really says something, john. >> john: yep, covid misinformation, one of the top policies that he thinks that he has -- >> sandra: going after the doctors. meanwhile, president biden has been celebrating some recent relief from historically high gas prices. new at 2:00, the analysts at gas buddy are bursting president biden's bubble. >> john: new numbers and not the message democrats were hoping to send ahead of the midterms. ahead with the econ panel coming right up. it's the number one doctor recommended brand that is scientifically designed to help manage your blood sugar. live every moment. glucerna.

startling warning. tell fox news a displaced person's camp in syria partially funded by the united states is a breeding ground for isis territory. >> a whole lost of u.s. officials have told us that isis is reconstituting itself in syria, they are flagging a displaced person's camp in the northwest part of the country, they say it has become a literal breeding ground for the second generation of isis terrorists hoping to plot and carry out terror attacks against america. take a look at this. the camp is home to tens of thousands of syrians displaced by the ongoing civil war there. 70% of the population there is under the age of 12. with 80 births in the camp each month, isis is exploiting it to indoctrinate, train and equip fighters. >> 80,000 people crowded into a camp that consists of the brides of isis, sons of isis, the

people that were slaughtered by isis. their families are living next to each other, it's a matter of time this thing blows. >> senator lindsey graham says the camp poses a direct national security threat to america where he says the border is broken. >> i worry about somebody slipping out of syria, coming back from afghanistan which is now terrorist safe haven, getting through our southern border and the middle of millions of illegal immigrants and killing a bunch of us. >> hundreds of thousands of syrian refugees live in camp live under funded by u.s. and united nations. >> radicalization of children that's occurring in that camp is going to be a gift we are going to give ourselves 5 or 10 years down the road as the isis radicalized fighters reappear. >> last month, forces found 300 isis fighters hiding in the camp

during a raid just after fighters burned down a u.n. school inside of it. also uncovered a whole tunnel system that isis fighters had built underneath the camp. >> john: it's amazing that isis is able to recruit and indoctrinate young people the way they are, a lot of the kids have no hope, so at least isis is offering them something to latch on to. >> that's true, as part of the broader systemic problem why it's appealing to young people. >> john: you get them young, you get them for live, no question. >> sandra: president biden defending massive spending policies even as inflation is at 40 year highs. one area of the economy he has boasted recently so much about, gas prices. well, they again are going back up. let's bring in our panel, steve moore, former trump advisor and robert wolf, love both having you here. we always have a constructive

debate on this. i'm going to first pull up the dow and ask you for what's happening now in the markets. as we pull it up, the highs of the day, the dow up 845 points, but it has fallen below 30,000, a big psychological level for investors. seems like it's making a comeback. what's going on in markets? >> glad to see the comeback, it's a great day. the first good day in a long time on the stock market, people have lost a lot of money in the 401(k), but still where we were in 2021, and inflation, people lost 12% of their lifetime savings. i'll say this, i'm very worried about the economy slipping into recession right now. all the big indicators, manufacturing -- >> you don't believe we are in one? two quarters of contraction. >> good point, but i think things will get worse before better. >> you have a lot of economists

calling for 50 basis points in december instead of 75, and the u.k. backtracking on the tax cuts, a big positive less inflation. and then all of a sudden the last weeks, it's decimated, a lot of people are trying to bottom fish, you know. the question is, this is going to be one of the dead cat bounces that come up or stay there. >> and look at the trader lingo in there. >> 40 years. >> sandra: incredible uncertainty, the last week performances for the dow, swings are unbelievable. friday, drop of 500 points, before that, a drop of 450, there was one up day, 550 -- this is not for the faint of heart. i mean, watching the markets, it's brutal. here is the president now, he's defending his big spending plans, even though we still have 40-year high inflation. here he is saturday. >> i'm so sick of republicans saying we are the big spenders,

give me a break. give me a break. banged up by the republicans but bring it on. >> sandra: banged up by people who are living through and experiencing this inflation that most attribute to his big government spending policies. >> come on, he's -- since biden has come into office, he has enacted $4 trillion of new spending. the most reckless president of modern times. he said we are spending less than last year, that's because we spent a mountain of money. the biggest problem with the u.s. economy right now is the massive excess spending. republicans, if they take over congress, we have to cut it. >> sandra: he says they are not as bad as they are making it out. an i don't think there will be

recession, steve does. and opec will cut production, is gas prices will start rising again into the toughest period which is the winter. with respect to spending, this is where we would disagree. i say respectfully, but on this one i'm not sure i'm respecting, because it is 4 trillion. >> i'm not questioning that, he's increasing corporate taxes and paying for the last bill, the inflation reduction act. you and i may totally disagree, i like they are taking climate action on, doing prescription drugs, you don't. >> sandra: people don't like the gas prices coming back up, and that's happening. >> i've said a daily billboard is the gas station and the grocery store and that's a difficulty. i've been the first one that said inflation is here to stay for a lot longer time. and here is why the gas -- you are right. >> sandra: gas buddy says they

are going up in california, oregon, alaska. >> let me explain with. the saudis and the opec countries say they are going to respect production to bring the price back up. >> when i just said, steve. >> we are playing into their hands, sandra, we are not producing the oil and gas here that we could be and should be. >> sandra: gas buddy said inventories in the west coast are lowest of a decade. that means the high gas prices might be around for some time. >> listen, as i've said, i'm nervous about inflation. >> it's all about war on american oil. >> totally inaccurate. you look at the numbers, 83% a decade ago on nonrenewable energy, today we are at 82%. it's not like there is a takeover of energy and gas, it's not accurate. if you look at -- >> sandra: not for the sake of not trying, and that's what people see and what the industry sees and why they are slowing their production levels. >> i have been for an all in emergency approach.

an i'm, too. >> sandra: appreciate the debate and the conversation. and very respectful. >> i respect him even when he's wrong. >> great for being here. >> john: always a great discussion with them. coming up, sandra, did the fins fumble? the young quarterback carted off the field and the big question, why was he on the field to begin with? no, he's seizing the moment with merrill. moving his money into his investment account in real time and that's... how you collect coins. your money never stops working for you with merrill, a bank of america company.

>> john: fox news alert and our first look at sanibel island, one of the areas hardest hit by hurricane ian's wrath. steve was able to make his way to the island and just filed this first report, watch. >> this is the south coast of sanibel island, there is complete destruction in every direction. some of these houses were simply blown off their foundations, 50 or 100 yards, others are flipped upside down, others the roofs and the windows, the sidewalls all blown off. at least four dead but search-and-rescue operations continue here and officials say the island is not safe for residents. power has been shut off, water has been shut off, and the causeway has been shut down as well, partially destroyed by the

storm, and that's going to be the key test of whether or not this island rebuilds. when they rebuild that bridge. some looters were taken off the island on saturday, right now, 100 national guard on duty to try and keep security. back to you. >> john: and that is just one tiny little part of a very, very large island. if i were a betting man, i would say sanibel will come back at some point, it's going to take a long time to get it there. >> sandra: they need all the help they can get down there. thanks to our continued reporting from there, and hurricane ian relief, of course, you can donate to the red cross, the number on the screen, 800 help now. and john to the quarterback who ended up in a trauma center and the team under fire for even letting him play in the first place. >> john: the miami dolphins taking heat for putting tua tagovailoa on the field just four days after slamming his head on the turf in the previous game in a game against the buffalo bills. and then this happened, slammed

to the ground in the bengals game, ended up on a stretcher before being taken out of the stadium and to the hospital. >> sandra: everybody is talking about this. jack brewer now, former nfl player and ceo of the jack brewer foundation. thank you for joining us, jack. heartbreaking to see that video, so many wondering why this player was put back on the field in the first place. but you've lived through this firsthand and you've seen so many of your teammates suffer. why are we not in a place where we know more about concussions, and protecting players more from reinjury? >> i think it's a willingness. i don't know what's going on in the national football league individual teams, i don't want to blame the entire league, but the staff and whoever is over there, the protocols should be disgusted, to put a man through this, and you know, really what it shows you as well, we are watching the quarterback, this is the face of the franchise, but you don't see the dozens and

dozens of men who have these type of injuries every day, at practice, at games, who they are putting back on the field that don't get this type of attention. you see the majority of concussions we never see from the screen. and so if you are going to be able do something like this and make these type of healthcare decisions for these players and not take into account truly their future, then you need to pay a price for that. because when you are playing in the national football league, the mentality of the players never going to take himself off the football field. that's the job of the training staff. you can't make it to the level of the national football league if you are a player saying i'm feeling bad, i'm in pain, i'm coming off the field, that's not what happened. in the nfl, the doctors must control and have the last say when it comes to player safety and who plays and who sits on the bench. >> john: jack, what you are seeing there, the game against

the bills on september 25th and tua goes down really hard, hits the back of his head and four days later after an investigation was undertaken, there you see him, almost a late hit there, too, he goes down in the game against the bengals, and he gets whipped around in the tackle and slams his head again, bam, right there. really looked like he was whipped and look at his fingers here, the way they are twisted like that, that's a hallmark of a concussion. >> that's right. and his -- the impact of this, he won't even know for years to see the depth of this. you know, the head is something that is just now recently being exposed and understood in the last decade or so. during my playing days we got concussions all the time, they did smelling salts and back on the field. now we know so much more so this is just reckless and for them to continue to do it, again, we see this incident, we don't see the

thousands and thousands of other collisions in pro football, college football, high school football, hey, it's a violent game. i played it and if i was him, i would have wanted to go out and play as well. but you need those authority figures, those medical doctors who have the authority and the god given authority to sit the guys on the sideline and put the dollars behind us. stop worrying about making the money or wearing the championships and actually caring about the guys. you see guys committing suicide, i lost a good friend a few months ago, 38 years old, and just suffering from head trauma, could barely get him help from the national football league. we have to do better than this, we are humans in the united states of america and this is america's sport. >> sandra: especially considering we know so much about the head injuries and about concussions, we know you never ever really fully heal from one. the goal is always just to not reinjure, especially in the days and weeks that follow the previous injury.

you just hope this sheds a lot of light on this and that change is eventually made and these people are protected. this is brutal. hard to watch that video. >> it is, it makes you cringe, i mean -- when you put it on, it's hard for me to watch and believe me, i was the guy that will run down the field and bust a wedge, i was a special teams guru to hit you route in the mouth. but guys like me need to be tamed, we need to be told when it's time for us to play or not by the medical team and the medical staff, and so the national football league has answers for this. i think the fans are disgusted by it and hopefully the sponsors hold them accountable as well. we need governing bodies to start talking about this. the way the guys are being treated is not right, and glad you are shedding this light. our wounds can't heal in four days. what makes you think a head

trauma, something that shakes and rattles your head is going to be able to heal in four days when you go back out there in the position where their job is to sack you. just -- it's ridiculous. >> john: they do have the unaff unaffiliated neuro trauma consultants, and he was fired afterward saying failure to understand his role and hostility during the investigation process and yesterday, at least 12 players were removed from games because of the concussion protocol, so i mean, at least jack, looks like they are taking notice in the interim. but we heard about this for so many years and it's still going on. jack, great to talk to you. thank you so much. >> $1.5 billion lawsuit and they are still doing it. don't do it when the limelight is on them, but in the month when no one is watching they'll start back to the old antics, it's ridiculous.

god bless you guys. >> sandra: jack, thank you. >> john: business tactics are not ok, according to the feds. she's got to pay an eye popping price after allegedly making some shady moves. we'll tell you about that coming up. n everything have gone up and up. the good news? so has the value of your home. and maybe a lot more than you think. if you need cash to stay ahead, call newday. use your va home loan benefit to borrow up to 100% of your home's value. not just 80% like some other lenders. take out an average of $60,000 and lower your payments by $600 a month with the newday 100 va cash out loan. pay down high-rate credit cards, personal loans, even car loans. missed a payment along the way? newday's been granted automatic authority by the va. we look at your whole picture. when lenders say no to a veteran, newday can say yes.

>> john: kim kardshian has made a lot of money on social media. now she has to pony up for promoting crypto. what is her punishment going to be? >> it's financial. she has to fork over 1.25 million. for june 13, 2021, are you guys into crypto? she tells us about ethurium max. at the bottom of the post, john, on the right, it was #ad. the sec says yeah, that's not

good enough. she didn't disclose how much she was paid so they hit her with a $1 million fine and got her to fork over the $250,000 that she was paid for that post. she can't promote crypto securities for three years. kardshian's team says she wants to put this behind her so she can work on "different business pursuits." she's worth $1.8 billion. that might be why she landed in the sec's cross hairs. the boxing legend floyd mayweather has also pro mosted etherium max. but when mayweather and kardshian were sued over artificially inflating the price, it's worth essentially nothing. back to you. >> john: thanks, lauren. sandra? >> sandra: trace gallagher takes over as anchor of fox news at night. you can catch him at midnight
