Bring in show music please.

Hi, I'm C. NBC producer Katie Kramer, today on Squawk Pot.

ExxonMobil breaking all available records for oil industry profits making 56 billion dollars.

CEO Darren Woods offers no apologies for the eye-popping numbers.

When times were toughest, we were out there investing at a level that exceeded anybody else in our industry.

We had a keen focus on making sure that we had the production there and products

available for society when it was needed.

And no apologies for increased share buybacks and dividend payouts.

And that's one of the balances that we have to strike, reducing emissions and

generating returns for our shareholders.

Tesla, Ford, Rivian, Lucid, all vying for the most competitive plug-in price tag.

Wall Street Journal E.B. reporter Tim Higgins. That can be a very painful process from going from the

rather cool idea of a car, cool product to making a car as a scale, just ask

you on Musk and his sleeping on the factory floor for all those years.

Plus, a market warning from shortseller Jim Chainos, the White House cracking down on what

Medicare charges the government, and Johnson and Johnson's dance to

avert lawsuits well someone stops the music. The Texas two step I didn't

really realize it was called the Texas two step Becky. It's pretty good name for it.

It's Tuesday January 31st,

2023. Squawk Pod begins right now. Stamp Becky by in three, two, one,

queue please.

Good morning everybody.
