Biden officials are confronting even more inflation with prices rising 7.9 percent since

last year, the third month in a row with inflation at a 40 year high. The president

reasons a large contributor to inflation this month was an increase in gas and energy

prices as markets reacted to Putin's aggressive actions. But Stephen Ratner, former Obama

economic advisor, tweets, well, no, these are February numbers and only includes small

Russia effect. This is Biden's inflation and he needs to own it.

The president's statement blames the Putin price hike. Are you guys just going to start

blaming Putin for everything until the midterms?

Well, we've seen the price of gas go up at least 75 cents since President Putin lines

up troops on the border of Ukraine.

Yeah, well, it's already headed that direction.

You know, boy, speaking of inflation, Jack, the president has announced that Russia has

lost its most favored nation trading status, which means a rise in tariffs on Russian goods.

Oh, my God, you deny we're going to have a caviar party tonight with Russian vodka coming

out of a carved ice vodka fountain. And now it's ruined.

Now it's ruined. Thanks. So, so obviously that was just a teeny bit of sarcasm. What

Russian products?

The agricultural stuff, I guess, wheat, gas, hey, oil. Okay.

So the places that they're still selling the stacking dolls, those are those are Russian.

The places they're still selling oil and gas to they'll get dinged on that, I guess.
