Hello, thanks for being here. Thanks for listening and welcome to a brand new day. It's Wednesday March 9th 2022. It's first thing with Kevin Mano on this date in history. It's a big one

25 years ago today on March 9th in 1997 Christopher Wallace also known as the notorious B.I.G. was shot and killed in Los Angeles

He was sitting in the passenger side of a suburban following a soul train awards after party another car rolled up an open fire

He was at four times and died at the age of 24 back then. I didn't grasp how young he was just 24 years old

All right, what's going on today? So let's get into it your daily update on the Russian invasion of Ukraine still the top story

We are nearing two weeks of this fighting the Ukrainian military has agreed to a 12-hour ceasefire with Russia today

So the civilians can escape through what they call a humanitarian corridor

They're skeptical though hoping Russia sticks to it. It was announced yesterday that President Biden is banning Russian oil and gas imports

He called it quote another powerful blow to Putin's war machine

It will undoubtedly further affect gas prices over here

But the hope is that it squeezes Putin enough to make him relent. That's our whole thing

We've been hitting them economically. It all started with the initial round of sanctions

Their ruble is still in free fall and their stock market has been closed for eight straight business days

And more and more companies announced their exit from the country yesterday

McDonald's is closing all restaurants in Russia for now general electric Rolex Starbucks Coca-Cola and Pepsi are suspending their operations there as well

Another story that came out yesterday Poland

Floated the idea that they would give the US a bunch of fighter jets so that we could give them to Ukraine

They can't do it outright apparently

However the Pentagon released a statement calling that plan untenable. They said it is too risky and it's not gonna happen

All right, okay moving to sports Aaron Rogers has been in the news of ton lately

I have to lots of speculation to broke yesterday that he has agreed to a record setting deal to return to the packers

It is reportedly a four-year
