About this episode

Americans are paying higher prices on everything from groceries to gasoline as inflation continues to rise. President Biden hosted a group of CEOs at the White House to discuss ways to make sure shelves are fully stocked and prices are reasonable as holiday shopping ramps up.

Earlier today the President addressed the new coronavirus variant, "Omicron", saying this new strain first detected in South Africa is “cause for concern, not a cause for panic.” Chief Medical Advisor to the President Anthony Fauci joins to address the United States plan to fight the new variant.
