griff: anita, great to see you. let s kick things off with lucas tomlinson from the white house. the labor department issuing a brutal report saying inflation is getting worse not better. in los angeles president biden says it s not just putin that s responsible, but exxon as well for skyrocketing prices. they have 9,000 permits to drill, they re not drilling. why aren t they drilling? because they make more money not producing more oil. the price goes up, number one and number two the reason they re not drilling, they re buying back their own stock. exxon made more money than god this year. when president biden was sworn into office he had a 57% approval rating, gas was just 2.39 a gallon. today s approval rating was presume plummeted to 39%, some lower in some polls. and gas nationwide soared across the country and the president s popularity has gone down. president obama once told him his popularity was tied to the price of gasoline and it s happening once again toda
