It's adorable how you only have to tell Peter Doocy six or seven times to do his homework before he half-asses it and maybe makes a phone call, if he even did that.
For over a week, now, Jen Psaki has been explaining to this particular Fox nepocritter (and other right-wing "reporters") that the people to whom he should be talking about why oil and gas prices are so high are actual oil and gas company executives. She's explained in multiple press conferences that the Keystone Pipeline has no bearing whatsoever on easing supply or lowering prices, and that oil companies here have nine thousand unused leases on land on which they can commence drilling immediately, if not sooner, should they so choose.
Finally, Doocy made a phone call, or whatever, and someone fed him this insightful (/s) piece of questioning.
"You and the president are both talking about producing energy here, saying that oil and gas companies have nine thousand permits to drill now, they could be drilling right now. Would President Biden cut red tape to make that possible?" he asked.
Oh, the ole "bIg gOvErNmEnT rEd tApE" complaint. Soooo original.
Psaki responded, "What red tape needs to be cut, when they have the permits, they have the capacity to do it? What's holding them up?"
