Hello, hello. Welcome to Friday, February 28th, 2025. It's first thing with Kevin Mano. Good to see you. Thank you so much for being here.

Real quick look at all the top headlines across the board as you start today and the show starts right now.

And we always start with the top story. President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky are scheduled to meet today at the White House.

This meeting comes as U.S. support for Ukraine has drastically changed under Trump.

He was asked yesterday if he still believes Zelensky to be a dictator ahead of this meeting.

And he responded, quote, did I say that? I can't believe I said that.

While the war in Ukraine will certainly be a topic,

the main focus will be a new mineral agreement between the two countries.

They are set to sign that agreement today.

We'll see if it happens.

There is bound to be some tension in the air when they come face to face.

We will see how it goes today.

Let's go.

All right, okay on to sports.

There's a new version of Sports Center coming to Disney Plus.

ESPN just announced SC Plus, which will be a shorter, more streamlined version of their

iconic show.

How short?

Maybe 15 minutes.

The episodes will vary based on what's going on.

They called it a fast-paced daily update, which kind of sounds like a version of this podcast,

so I'm into it.
