But prices at the pump have gone up,\u201d because the increase in gas prices \u201cisn\u2019t about inflation. This is about price gouging for these guys.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Warren said, \u201cWe know exactly who the oil companies \u2014 what the oil companies pay attention to. What is their number one priority? Profits. And so, think about it this way, if we really \u2014 this were just ordinary inflation, we might see prices go up. But prices at the pump have gone up, why? Well, let me give you a hint, Chevron, Exxon have doubled their profits. This isn\u2019t about inflation. This is about price gouging for these guys. So, I get it. When we see prices go up, we\u2019re all concerned and the Republicans want to come in and just try to hammer on one theme about this economy, but we\u2019ve got to pay attention to the fact that folks like the oil companies say, I think it\u2019s just another opportunity to make profits and we need to call them out on that.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p><em>Follow Ian&nbsp;Hanchett on Twitter&nbsp;<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IanHanchett\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">@IanHanchett<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Wednesday\u2019s broadcast of MSNBC\u2019s \u201cThe ReidOut,\u201d Sen.
