EXCERPT:
WARREN: "Look, I’m -- I'm deeply, deeply subpoena sympathetic to the fact that families are paying a lot at the pump. But I always remind myself on this, the last time that a barrel of oil cost what it cost right now, that gasoline itself was about $1.50 cheaper at the pump. So, a big part of this is about concentration in the oil industry, and price gouging.”
