Fox News contributor Dagen McDowell attempted to spin higher gas prices caused by President Donald Trump's strikes on Iran by noting that Americans weren't yet experiencing "food rationing" as they did in World War II.

"According to AAA, the national average hit $3.22 today," Fox News host Martha MacCallum told McDowell on Friday. "That's a 30-cent increase since the strikes in the Middle East began."

She pointed out that Trump had told Reuters that he was not personally concerned about the price of gas.

"If they rise, they rise," the president said.

"I don't mean to belittle what people will experience when they go to fill up," McDowell said. "We are looking at nationwide gas prices running $3.50 a gallon to $3.90 a gallon."

"That being said, I will just repeat what my father would always say. People get upset about, you know, gas prices, and he would hold up the food rationing, the coupon book from World War II, and say, this is what we went through when our men and our boys were fighting for our freedom then," she added. "So perspective is much needed here."

"People went years without, nobody bought a new car for years during the war, and people would typically say, well, when the war is over, we'll do this, or we'll do that," MacCallum agreed. "But they, you know, understood the big picture importance."

U.S. Court Finds Pastor Found Guilty in $3M Crypto Scam

The post U.S. Court Finds Pastor Found Guilty in $3M Crypto Scam appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crime 18 September 2025 | 04:05 A Colorado judge has brought closure to one of the state’s most unusual cryptocurrency scandals, declaring INDXcoin to be a fraudulent operation and ordering its founders, Denver pastor Eli Regalado and his wife Kaitlyn, to repay $3.34 million. The ruling, issued by District Court Judge Heidi L. Kutcher, came nearly two years after the couple persuaded hundreds of people to invest in their token, promising safety and abundance through a Christian-branded platform called the Kingdom Wealth Exchange. The scheme ran between June 2022 and April 2023 and drew in more than 300 participants, many of them members of local church networks. Marketing materials portrayed INDXcoin as a low-risk gateway to prosperity, yet the project unraveled almost immediately. The exchange itself collapsed within 24 hours of launch, wiping out investors’ money. Despite this failure—and despite an auditor’s damning review that gave the system a “0 out of 10” for security—the Regalados kept presenting it as a solid opportunity. Colorado regulators argued that the couple’s faith-based appeal was central to the fraud. Securities Commissioner Tung Chan said the Regalados “dressed an old scam in new technology” and used their standing within the Christian community to convince people who had little knowledge of crypto. For him, the case illustrates how modern digital assets can be exploited to replicate classic Ponzi-style tactics under a different name. Court filings revealed where much of the money ended up: luxury goods, vacations, jewelry, a Range Rover, high-end clothing, and even dental procedures. In a video that drew worldwide attention earlier this year, Eli Regalado admitted the funds had been spent, explaining that a portion went to taxes while the remainder was used for a home renovation he claimed was divinely inspired. The judgment not only confirms that INDXcoin qualifies as a…
