President Biden will be adding new sanctions against Russia because of what has happened in the town of Bucha in Ukraine, calling for a war crimes trial against Russian President Vladimir Putin. 

Rising gas prices and inflation in the US means emergency oil stocks will be tapped to relieve high prices at the pump. Also Ron speaks to Kathryn about a crime wave in cities with the latest deadly mass shootings in normally placid Sacremento. And there's mounting evidence that last year's January 6 insurrection was orchestrated from the White House.
