WEBVTT

00:01.118 --> 00:03.781
>> TONIGHT. THE PRICE OF GAS

00:03.792 --> 00:05.270
AND GOODS IS SOARING. NOW

00:05.281 --> 00:07.076
LEADING TO A LEDGE GAS THEFT

00:07.110 --> 00:08.935
ON MONDAY. A TEXAS GAS STATION

00:08.946 --> 00:11.150
OWNER JERRY FAIL SAYS ONE

00:11.161 --> 00:13.353
DRIVER ALLEGEDLY STOLE $6,000

00:13.364 --> 00:15.108
WORTH OF DIESEL FUEL USING A

00:15.119 --> 00:18.130
TRAP DOOR 3 CONSECUTIVE DAYS.

00:18.141 --> 00:20.965
IT WAS ABOUT 350 GALLONS. OF

00:20.976 --> 00:22.141
DIESEL DURING THE 4TH ATTEMPT.

00:22.152 --> 00:23.079
I WAS ACTUALLY IN THE OFFICE

00:23.090 --> 00:26.743
WHEN WHEN HE DECIDED TO SHOW

00:26.754 --> 00:29.039
UP. AS SOON SOON AS I SAW HIM

00:29.073 --> 00:32.418
DRIVE OVER THE TAPES. I SPREAD

00:32.429 --> 00:33.304
OF THE OFFICE.

00:33.315 --> 00:35.256
>> THE DRIVER SPED OFF BUT

00:35.290 --> 00:36.654
AROUND THE COUNTRY. SIMILAR

00:36.655 --> 00:37.475
ALLEGED GAS THEFT INCIDENTS

00:37.486 --> 00:40.883
ARE TAKING PLACE WITH SOME

00:40.917 --> 00:42.074
BLAMING HIGH FUEL PRICES

00:42.075 --> 00:43.587
GASOLINE IN THE U.S. IS UP

00:43.589 --> 00:46.583
NEARLY $0.30 FROM A WEEK AGO

00:46.585 --> 00:48.862
AND UP NEARLY A $1.47 SINCE

00:48.873 --> 00:51.235
LAST YEAR WITH DIESEL FUEL UP

00:51.269 --> 00:52.658
OVER $2 SINCE 2021 WHILE

00:52.659 --> 00:54.946
INFLATION WAS ALREADY A 40

00:54.947 --> 00:57.063
YEAR HIGHS. MANY EXPERTS SAY

00:57.074 --> 00:58.789
RUSSIA’S INVASION OF UKRAINE

00:58.822 --> 01:00.047
MEANS IT’S LIKELY TO PERSIST

01:00.049 --> 01:03.615
WE’RE LIKELY TO SEE ANOTHER

01:03.616 --> 01:05.571
YEAR IN WHICH 12 ONCE

01:05.582 --> 01:06.977
INFLATION NUMBERS REMAIN VERY

01:06.978 --> 01:08.072
UNCOMFORTABLY HIGH IN

01:08.073 --> 01:09.750
FEBRUARY, THE U.S. PLACED

01:09.761 --> 01:10.988
AGGRESSIVE SANCTIONS ON RUSSIA

01:10.999 --> 01:11.895
AND I’M TAKING ROBUST ACTION

01:11.906 --> 01:12.949
TO MAKE SURE THE PAIN OF OUR

01:12.984 --> 01:16.883
SANCTIONS TARGETING RUSSIAN

01:16.894 --> 01:17.176
ECONOMY.

01:17.187 --> 01:19.098
>> AND THAT WE USE EVERY TOOL

01:19.132 --> 01:20.185
AT OUR DISPOSAL TO PROTECT

01:20.196 --> 01:22.034
AMERICAN BUSINESSES AND

01:22.045 --> 01:24.318
CONSUMERS. BUT WEEKS LATER THE

01:24.329 --> 01:24.892
ADMINISTRATION ACKNOWLEDGED

01:24.903 --> 01:27.113
IT’S NOT REALISTIC TO THINK

01:27.124 --> 01:28.948
THAT WE CAN TAKE ACTIONS OF

01:28.983 --> 01:31.040
THIS MAGNITUDE WITHOUT FEELING

01:31.051 --> 01:31.762
SOME CONSEQUENCES OURSELVES.

01:31.773 --> 01:32.718
AND IT’S NOT JUST GAS. YOU

01:32.729 --> 01:36.423
ALMOST CAN’T AFFORD TO DO

01:36.424 --> 01:37.268
ANYTHING NOW. AND.

01:37.279 --> 01:38.931
>> I JUST WANT GO DOWN.

01:38.942 --> 01:40.497
ACCORDING TO EXPERTS, THE COST

01:40.508 --> 01:42.740
OF WHEAT AND METAL IS ALSO UP

01:42.741 --> 01:44.051
IN LONDON ON THURSDAY, NICKEL

01:44.053 --> 01:46.421
PRICES SOARED SO HIGH THAT CEO

01:46.422 --> 01:49.366
OF THE LONDON METAL EXCHANGE

01:49.367 --> 01:50.854
SUSPENDED NICKEL TRADING. IT

01:50.865 --> 01:51.992
WOULD HAVE BEING EXTREMELY

01:52.003 --> 01:55.837
DIFFICULT FOR SOME OF ALL

01:55.848 --> 01:57.510
PARTICIPANTS TO CONTINUE THEIR

01:57.545 --> 01:57.743
ACTIVITY.

01:57.754 --> 01:58.834
>> THE PRICE ROSE SO MUCH THAT

01:58.868 --> 02:00.611
THE METAL IN THE NICKEL

02:00.622 --> 02:02.080
ACTUALLY BECAME MORE COSTLY

02:02.081 --> 02:04.008
THAN A DIME AMID THE WAR. U.S.

02:04.009 --> 02:05.566
OFFICIALS AND ECONOMISTS SAY

02:05.577 --> 02:07.379
AMERICANS SHOULD BRACE FOR

02:07.390 --> 02:08.533
ONGOING INFLATION. WHILE MANY

02:08.544 --> 02:09.869
LIKE GAS STATION OWNERS THAT

02:09.903 --> 02:10.956
HE’LL HOPE US LEADERSHIP CAN

02:10.967 --> 02:13.676
PUMP THE BRAKES ON THESE

02:13.711 --> 02:15.376
RISING PRICES SOON TO CURB THE

02:15.377 --> 02:16.773
THEFT AND DESPERATION. WE HAVE

02:16.774 --> 02:18.074
BILLS TO PAY. WE’VE GOT

02:18.085 --> 02:18.880
EMPLOYEES THAT THAT I NEED

02:18.891 --> 02:21.876
THAT MONEY IS IN WANT NBC
