‘The Messaging Is Horrible And The Actions Are Worse’: Joe Concha Says Biden Is Way Over His Head On Supply Chain Chaos

Fox News contributor Joe Concha argued Friday that the Biden administration is not adequately addressing supply chain shortages, and even dismissing the problem.

WATCH:

“Even the White House press secretary dismissed this crisis by making it about rich people not being able to their treadmills for their home gyms,” Concha told Fox News’ “The Story.” “The messaging is horrible and the actions are worse because they’re almost non-existent.” (RELATED: Sen.

“I think what we’re learning with this administration: don’t judge them by their words because the value of those words is decreasing by the day … Judge them by their actions,” Concha said, referring to empty shelves at grocery stores and clogged California ports

The journalist said President Joe Biden must be asked directly, “What are you doing to fix this problem?” He said Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg also has to be honest with the American people and asked a series of simple questions: “How many ports in California, or Georgia or New Jersey have you visited? How many port operators or trucking executives have you met with in person?”

Concha also insisted Americans need to know “who served as acting director during Secretary Buttigieg’s extended leave of two months? Who was running the show while this crisis was exploding?”

“The Hill” columnist claimed that the supply problems are getting worse with “several news organizations now reporting that there are more than 13 loads for every truck at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach,” noting that Biden’s chief of staff, Ron Klain retweeted a claim that inflation and the supply chain crisis amounted to “high class problems.”

“I guess only rich people drive cars and purchase gasoline, which is up what, 40% compared to last year and only fat cats buy groceries. Where prices of meat and eggs and fish and poultry they’re up in the double digits compared to last year. Home heating costs are going to go up 50% this year. You think the low and middle class can absorb all those costs? Of course not,” Concha said.

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg praised Biden’s economic management during Sunday’s “State of the Union” and said that ships clogged in California’s ports are “full” with “goods that Americans are buying because demand is up, because income is up.

Fox News host and Daily Caller co-founder Tucker Carlson recently criticized that defense. “None of that is Soviet, not at all. It’s not the Brezhnev administration. No, it’s utopia. ‘Be happy about it; stop your complaining,’ says Mayor Pete,” Carlson said.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
