Nightmare before Christmas? Supply Chain Crisis Explained

The supply chain crisis is crippling the mercantile business in the U.S., with overflowing ports, trucks queuing for miles, empty shelves, and rising prices – all this as the holiday season inches closer. David J. Lynch is a correspondent for The Washington Post and joins the show to discuss where it all went wrong and whether it is fair to lay the blame at President Biden’s feet.
