About this episode

A U.S. Army veteran flying an ISIS flag from his truck plowed into New Orleans' crowded French Quarter on New Year's Day, killing 15 people. President Joe Biden says investigators are looking into possible links between that attack and the explosion of a Tesla Cybertruck outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas. Russian gas exports via Ukraine have come to an end, but where does it leave gas giant Gazprom? And just what is the U.S. debt ceiling and how does it work?
