Today I'm announcing the United States is targeting the main artery of Russia's economy.

We're banning all imports of Russian oil and gas and energy.

This war moves fast.

It's not even two weeks old, yeah, but like it started then over these sanctions, but not sanctions on Russian oil and natural gas.

That would be bad for business, but there were all these other sanctions and those were bad for business anyway.

Gas prices surged and then all of a sudden maybe there should be sanctions on Russian oil and gas and then this morning gas prices hit an all-time record high in the United States.

Not if you take inflation into account, but the sticker shock is real and now the White House has announced it will ban all Russian gas and oil.

On the show today, we're going to try and figure out where that leaves us.

I'm Sean Ramasferrm, it's today explained.

I think that the holidays feel like frozen noses.

I love walking with the dog for long periods of time, hopefully it's snowing and you've got to wrap up warm.

You get to the top and you're like, oh, then you can see the breath, but then your nose is still freezing to top.

Join every sip with red cups now back at Starbucks.

If you're looking at hurting Russia, they make most of their money through oil.

They make a ton of money through oil.
