From Nine To Noon, 9:45 am on 21 February 2023

Ron talks to Susie about President Joe Biden's visit to Ukraine, the US focus on China's surveillance and Russia's push in Ukraine, and the declining health of US former President Jimmy Carter who is 98.

Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter waves to the congregation after teaching Sunday school at Maranatha Baptist Church in his hometown of Plains, Georgia on April 28, 2019. Carter, 94, has taught Sunday school at the church on a regular basis since leaving the White House in 1981, drawing hundreds of visitors who arrive hours before the 10:00 am lesson in order to get a seat and have a photograph taken with the former President and former First Lady Rosalynn Carter.
