jonathan: stephen schork joins us now. if i could be a fly on the wall of a meeting between the -- what do you expect will happen in that room? stephen: i would expect a lot of pushback. it appears the industry and the white house are talking past one another. the white house has refused -- this is the first real outreach that they have made to the industry, and they have gone to some nefarious characters prior to this. and yet, they will continue to double down and tell us we do not need to drill, you just have to raise capacity. tell you what -- capacity is already there. at this time of year, refinery capacity is at 94%. that is extremely high for this early in the season. the industry has responded. gasoline production over 2 million barrels a day for two consecutive weeks. unfortunately, at the heart of this is the lack of refinery capacity, and there is nothing anyone can do about that. here in philadelphia, we have the south gerard for refinery -- refinery. we no longer have that. you go to south philly, that refine

stephen: i agree. when i saw that the company changed its name i thought, finally sheryl has an exit ramp. if you look at the history of sheryl, i think she wanted to leave originally after the company went public. that really didn't go very well. it would have been a bad note to levon. she said, let me wait until it all comes together. and then the next horrible thing that happened was her husband died. that wasn't a good time to leave for her personally. she leaned on mark and the company to get her through that. and then came the 2016 election and all the troubles then. she was thwarted at every turn. when the senatorial post-came up in california, a lot of people thought it was something that sheryl was waiting for. she wanted to go into politics. again, she was in no position to do that. a lot of people thought that the person who took over that seat was in line for that. again, sheryl has some pretty bad luck in terms of an exit ramp from facebook. she only wanted to stay for five years. that was

let's bring in stephen to talk us through the moves we are seeing in oil and stephen, it was those oil inventories that we got in the u.s., that data that further solidified that supply is quite tight out there. stephen: yeah, the data essentially showed a major hub called cushing supplies fell further to the lowest level in quite a wild. and when you look at gasoline inventories at well -- as well, got u.s. gasoline inventories at the lowest seasonal level in a number of years. so, what is happening in the u.s. is reverberating around the world. you have an issue, which is gasoline prices are already in some places at a record high. diesel is at a record high, but the demand is not coming. people are still driving cars in the u.s., which is not what some of the economists expected. they thought when prices hit a certain level, ok, no family trips. you're not going to go out. maybe trucks would curb some shipments, but that is not the case and demand is still strong. that is why you're seeing that drop down in not only crude inventories but also gasoline inventories, that is something
