nuclear sites for the international community. i ll talk to the iaea chief about what happens next. and average u.s. gas prices hit a record, $5 a gallon. overall inflation hits 8.6%, consumers are pessimistic about the state of the u.s. economy. what does the former federal reserve chair think? i ll ask him. we are now living in a totally new era. that is what the 99-year-old henry kissenger said. in an op-ed last week president biden vividly outlined the stakes. he wrote if russia does not pay a heavy price for its actions it would send a message to other would-be aggressors they too canceive territory is subjugate other countries, and it could mark the end of the rules based international order and open the door to aggression elsewherual catastrophic consequences the world over. in times like these it seemed appropriate that the secretary of state antony blinken would deliver a major policy address, which he did late last month except he chose to give the talk on china
