It's Tuesday, March 4th.

I'm Jane Koston, and this is What Today, the show that loves to hear fun, easy suggestions from the Trump administration on how to lower the cost of living for everyday Americans just trying to get by.

whose nation is in the midst of a Titanic war against Russia that has killed thousands of

say thank you more often. And unsurprisingly, that's become a big talking point in the right,

that Vladimir Zelensky basically needs to smile more. Here's Donald Trump himself on Monday,

arguing that Zelensky needs to show more appreciation for the United States.
