WATCH: Fox News Reporter Peter Doocy Grills Psaki On Numerous Struggles From Biden

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki takes off her mask as she arrives for the daily briefing in the Brady Briefing Room of the White House in Washington, DC on October 1, 2021.

Fox News reporter Peter Doocy grilled White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki during Friday’s press briefing over a variety of issues, including supply chain issues, a top Democratic candidate calling out President Joe Biden’s unpopularity, and Biden saying that he called a nurse at a hospital to find out why it was taking so long for one of his friends to get seen.

The following are some of the highlights between Doocy and Psaki:

DOOCY: First, on the economy: There are a half a million containers floating off the California coast with nowhere to go, major issues in the global supply chain right now. The vice president warned that this could happen in August. So, why wasn’t more done to prepare?

PSAKI: For the global supply chain issues?

DOOCY: Yeah, she was talking in August about, “If you want to have your Christmas toys for your children, now might be the time to start buying them because the delays could be many, many months.”

PSAKI: I asked that because we’ve been talking about the issues in the global supply chain since January. And the president has not only put in place a task force, but we have taken a range of steps to work to address.

Now, it’s not just about ensuring that we are having different companies speak to each other; we’ve certainly done that. We’ve been a forum for hosting different industry leaders to see what we can — what we can reduce, in terms of red tape in the process.

The — one of the biggest issues in the global supply chain is also COVID and the fact that COVID continues to be a threat to supply chains that are happening globally. So, we’ve also worked to be the — by far and away — the largest provider of vaccines, know-how, manufacturing capacity to the world.

So, we’ve not only been talking about this since January, we’ve been working to put in place a range of steps to help address the challenges in the supply chains.
