host: something that was noted is that the taft-hartley act was an option for president biden but he did not use it. remind us what that does and doesn't do. guest: the taft-hartley act allows the president in times of economic turmoil in certain limited circumstances, the ports being one of them, to essential blue -- essentially forcibly legally break a strike and force the workers back to work. that is not something unions like at all. typically any sort of resolution brokered or ordered by the government is going to help management because it erodes their economic leverage. there were warnings early on from afl-cio president and others warning him not to get involved. so the administrations involvement was kept pretty low-key for most of the deliberations because they really wanted to avoid any sort of perception that they were going to use taft-hartley and break the strike. that would have been a very difficult situation for president biden it probably would have had blowback on kamala harris as well. host: let's bring our audience into the conversation. joe is in maine and a mem

court companies are hoping that president biden would feel the pressure of this and just order a taft-hartley return to work by that union to get through the election and you can imagine how the companies that the president is going to have to do this because this will be so difficult for the harris campaign but the president just kept the administration pushing both sides to an agreement they had at 5:30 you can imagine how this was at the white house. white house chief of staff on resume, pete buttigieg and others in the administration with both sides forcing them to get together and so both sides understood that it looked like the president was not ready to intervene on this so they might figure something out and they did. >> i mean, no one should underestimate, as you have said many times, president biden's love for union workers in standing up for workers. it's a big victory for them but also the administration. this was resolving it very quickly. i think you know well how government works very well. this was a quick resolution could've had an impact on the supply chain that would've bee

they have the taft hartley act from 1947. they could have put that in place and said 80 days cooling off. that would have gotten us just beyond the election. that takes us into the new year. you have to want to bring it to or halt or what not to. what the is strategy behind not doing what you need to do. he is responsible, biden and harris and this administration, for the inflation that has the dock workers hurting. they have bills to pay food. expensive food. no wonder they want a raise. >> yeah, that's exactly right. they are offering a 50% raise, i don't think most americans would appreciate that isn't good enough. you know what? we need to automate our ports. i've been in south korea and shanghai and all over the world looking at port security. you are supposed to inspect 100% of the cargo. they do less than 2%. that's what our federal government is doing and wonder how we get fentanyl into this country and other things. we have one of the most arcane port systems in the world. we have to automate just to keep up. we have

>> brian: he took taft hartley off the table.ally gave the union workers a little bit more leverage. that tactically has never a great move. the thing is, if there is any time in which a union strike is hurting the country, outside the air traffic controllers, it's got to be there. you can't get anything. >> particularly ba thans. lauren, while you are still in the studio. >> brian: bananas? >> brown ban chocolate, cherries, a lot of things are affected. >> steve: talk about ships didn't make it into port. now they are sitting at sea. that means they can't offload. if they can't go anywhere, they are just stuck there and this is going to impact the supply chain if it goes more than a couple weeks. >> it's inflationary, guys. you are going to have your halloween stuff. you're going to have your christmas stuff because of precautionary measures. the retailers and shipment companies brought that all. in it's the future. but i'm also thinking of the vp debate tonight. five weeks before the election they can talk about the economy and

the biden administration will not evoke the hartley act to keep the two sides negotiating.we have our two latest guests with the impact on the markets and economy. omar, let's begin with you. >> good morning. >> i want to start off with the supply chain impact. this strike, this disruption it is doing toincrease costs and across the supply chain, what does it mean for the companies that operate supply chain? >> sure, thank you, frank. it's been an interesting year. so far, it has been a positive year for container shipping although last year was difficult with companies operating in the red. this year is a reversal in fortune driven by the houthi attacks in the red sea which caused companies to divert. vessels have started to transit longer and voyages and that tightened capacity. we're at a point where the ila is officially on strike. wit we have seen strike options before, but when there last been disruption, they come at a point in time where the container market is loose or the u.s. in a recession or vehweaker economy. this time, things are drastically different. tight

i don't believe in taft- hartley. >> then on tuesday after the strike started. >> this is incrediblythe last thing we need on top of that is a man-made disaster. there are basically six owners that control the ports and they've made incredible profits since the pandemic, and the owners are making tens of millions of dollars. the last thing they need is to profit on this. [ inaudible ] >> while the u.s. chamber of commerce among others was demanding the president you the antiunion taft-hartley act to force the dockworkers back, president biden flipped the script. the owners could make the choice to end the strike and help the country. the owners have plenty and don't need to be greedy, especially during the recovery from a natural disaster. joining us now is white house national economic adviser directly involved in these negotiations. thank you for being here. congratulations on getting this done. it looks like a success, at least for a time, but how serious could this have been? >> i think this could've been very, very serious. that is why the president was so definitive about telli

think she is trying to get them back why joe biden won't get involved he couldn't ebb invoke taft-hartley act for 80-day reprieve done 37 times in 80 years or so in place so not just a radical move to do but really shows the democratic party kamala harris sees this raceing losing union voters losing voters big time desperate to try to get them back . >> teamsters decided not to above the account 60% or so i don't have number supported trump 40% supported kamala harris there has been a big swing within the union workers over the course of last -- >> i'm wondering if why joe biden and kamala harris keep saying collective bargaining this and that's not getting involved they know they've lost their vote, union -- desperate to get that vote back, union works. >> i am voting for kamala harris not a single record silence yelling for lawyer liz peek wrote biden's embrace could be biggest mistake not heing intervention he is increasing odds of economic downturn more inflation a hit to harris' political prospects, liz great piecing i also want your commencement on what we just saw i asked jeff floc

we have a growing list that are calling on president biden to use the taft hartley act to stop the strike. associated builders and contractors and the national retail federation, biden for his part has said he will not use the taft hartley act. and instead he encouraged companies to make a fair offer. the u.s. maritime aalliance represents the employers here and they are encouraging the union to respond to their latest offer that they had extended just before the strike started. they had this to say yesterday, quote, our current offer of a nearly 50% wage increase exceeds every other recent union settlement while addressing inflation and recognizing the international long shoremen association's hard work to keep the global economy running. i had a chance to speak to the union's president yesterday, he saisaid he wants $5 an hour wage hike across the board, comes to roughly a 77% wage increase. he he says he wants that just to get back to the negotiating table. they're very fired up for what is day two, holding signs that says a automation hurts families. we'll be on this all day, maria. m

they want president biden to invoke the hartley-taft -- or taft-hartley act which would essentially force these workers back to their jobs while negotiations continue, but president biden has said he doesn't believe in that law, and the white house press secretary, karine jean-pierre, reiterated today again that they're not going to invoke it. so for now what that means, liz, is this strike is going to continue, and the longer it lasts, the higher the risk that a stores across the country will be impacted. elizabeth: that's great information, grady, you know? because i think george w. bush invoked the hartley act in 2002 to stop this. grady trimble, great reporting. thank you so much. >> but look at where kamala harris is today. she's only leading by 9 points. that would be the worst democratic performance in a generation, 10 points off the mark of joe biden who, of course, won four years ago with sort of that union guy, union joe, right? she's 10points off his mark and the worst in a general ration. that was cnn reporting that polls show kamala harris is on track for the worst democrat p

the white house has said he would not invoke taft hartley act. that act allows the president to order an 80-day cooling off period. that gets us way beyond the christmas holidays and into the new year for a fresh look at what the union and the corporations are fighting about. that would avert a strike at this point. the white house, well, playing dodge ball, you know how it goes. let's watch. >> at what point would the president be willing to intervene. how long would he allow it to go on and at what cost? >> i'm not going to get into hypotheticals. i won't get into hypotheticals. we believe collective bargaining is important here. we believe both sides should come to the table in good faith and get to a fair agreement. >> harris: i thought she said she wasn't going to go into detail. grady trimble is at the port of baltimore. one of the many we depend so much on, grady. >> harris, just to set the scene for you today. there are around 2400 members at this particular port. you can see a group of them on the picket lines in the rain. not deterred a

to undermine it by using mechanisms like taft-hartley, but you heard the president very clearly stating at the outset, we are going to support the collective bargaining process and the president, vice president, consistent strong supporters of the power of collective bargaining, so what he directed us to do was work with both parties to get them back to the table. they had not been talking for months. the last time an offer had been put on the table was in the middle of 2023, so we knew that we have to figure out a way to find mechanisms to enable the collective bargaining process, which is so important for workers to get back underway and that is what we set out to do. >> we've seen a number of examples of strikes or about to be strikes, like with the teamsters or the uaw strike where the president went out. we've seen examples of a lot of distance between what the union ask is and what the owners are prepared to do and we have seen resolutions through collective bargaining. this is not over. this is on hold until january. what happens between now and then and what level of involvement

. >> white houses president biden will not invoke the taft hartley act. steve, if you go up to negotiation saying you are repres representing the working man and woman, hard to roll up in a bentley. >> steve: how does he make that much money? o overtime? >> todd: pounding pavement on strikes. the rank and file make certain amount and people who lead unions, teachers or dock worker would yo unions making out handily. >> ainsley: if they get 80% pay raises, he'll be a millionaire. >> todd: two bentleys. >> lawrence: you know me, i love fashion and good gold chain, not relatable to people, going on strike and you are not making enough money and to roll up like that and allegations of mob ties. doesn't play well with american people because food is spoiling on ships because you are not doing your job. >> brian: you cannot say no automation, i don't think it is practical. maybe there is a compromise where certain personnel but we'll lose to other countries m. europe will be more productive and more efficient in china. >> ainsley: study the ports in california,

the president could pursue action known as taft-hartley, which would basically say that the longshoremen need to go back to work for what's known as an 80 day cooling off period. that doesn't sort of provide a solution and to this labor dispute, you still theoretically after that 80 day period, would have to have these guys during that election. >> it's not 80 days away, 100% election is 33 days away time he is squeezed, right? >> i mean, this takes to really competing pressures the president said that he will not pursue taft-hartley and when i talked to white house officials and democrats, one thing that's on the mind of them as also the crucial labor support unions in three crucial battleground states, wisconsin, pennsylvania, michigan. you can't alienate those folks, which you would probably do by pursuing intervention like that. at the same time, if this goes on for a couple of weeks, you may have also returned to what has been a political vulnerability for this white house. now for recent years that being inflation and rising prices, think given what we're seeing in florida, in nort

shut down big chunks of the economy that it becomes a concern and that is why congress passed taft-hartleythose years ago. the danger for some of these workers, get these big gains, doesn't necessarily work well in the long-term. >> another unions you have to worry about losing your job because you become less competitive. that's the case at boeing where workers are on strike, the uaw which represents stellantis, ford and gm. and lay off workers after getting big gains and run reason is they are making themselves less competitive. paul: still had, the supreme court is set to return next week for what is shaping up to be a consequential term as justices take on everything from ghost guns to transgender care for minors. ilia shapiro joins us with a preview of the cases to watch next. paul: the supreme court is set to return to the bench for what is shaping up to be another consequential term. on the docket a host of high-profile cases including regulation of ghost guns and transgender care for minors, all this as the left continues its political assault on the court's conservative justices w

is not focused on it the commerce secretary, manufactureers calling on president biden invoke taft-hartley act stop the strike here is what he said monday, watch. >> -- in intervene in dockworkers strike if they strike on tuesday. >> no. >> why not? >> because it is collective bargaining i don't believe in -- >> is not going to do intervene eric, reaction. >> looks like the administration, is completely out to lunch they've been out the lunch on economy since the beginning of the administration. you know one of the big points union threatened to strike administration said from the beginning president said he would not intervene gave the union a green light to go ahead, and so with a we've seen they've been away from bargaining tabling three months won't talk to u.s. mx don't want a deal a premeditated attack on american economy starting to carry it out the fact president not intervened is a mistake so i joined 200 other trade associations ceos representing the entire economy, calling on president to invoke taft-hartley get involved get our ports back in order. maria: look. this administrat

under the i947 taft—hartley act, president biden has the authority to order striking dock workers backrk but the current administration has said it would not intervene and encourages all parties to keep negotiating in good faith. the chairman of the federal reserve has dampened hopes of another big rate cut. jerome powell was speaking in tennessee and added that the central bank was not in a hurry to cut rates. the three majoy us stock indexes saw price falls during the speech. they recovered though, posting gains when markets closed. not much reaction to those remarks here in asia. but markets are watching japan's tankan survey. it is a measure of business optimism among large domestic companies, and it has come in largely unchanged compared with the previous quarter. all this as shigeru ishiba is due to be sworn in as the new prime minister. business reporter mariko oi looks at what the leadership transition means for japan's economiy. it is fairto it is fair to say that markets are not too thrilled about shigeru ishiba. big businesses i think are waiting to find out how exactly he w

under the i947 taft—hartley act, president biden has the authority to order striking dock workers backe current administration has said it will not intervene and encourages all parties to keep negotiating in good faith. tad dehaven is policy analyst at the free market think—tank, the cato institute. he told us the timing of the strike is awkward for the white house — but also for both presidential candidates. well, i mean, it's certainly quite the powerplay, and it's not a coincidence that we're just a little bit over a month away from the election. and so you have an administration that is, uh, proud of its of its pro organised labour record and by extension, vice president harris is running on the same platform. and then you have the wild card of the republican ticket with president trump, who's also trying to siphon off union support. so this is a headache for the biden administration and again, by extension, for vice president harris, because they really don't want to have to step into this situation. uh, the unions are very important for getting out the vote and such things. uh, a

bush did invoke taft-hartley. we know it taft-hartley is. after 11 days.s is something similar should happen. >> all i want to say is the dockworkers have a point. everyone is beating up on them. the moral of the story is try not to get 20% inflation. >> sandra: and inflation was not mentioned by either of those officials. you will sit down with former president donald trump. you are headed down there. 4:00 eastern time tomorrow. great to see you. >> john: sander, vice presidential candidate tim walz is having to clean up tuesday's debate performance particularly his claim about being in china during the tiananmen square protests. a live report next. for more than a decade farxiga has been trusted again and again, and again. ♪ far-xi-ga ♪ ♪ far-xi-ga ♪ ♪ far-xi-ga ♪ ♪ far-xi-ga ♪ ask your doctor about farxiga. >> john: vice presidential candidate can't tim walz could not seem to explain why he has claimed to be at china's historic and deadly tiananmen square protest when he wasn't. gillian turner was at the state department with the details and how does go

on the strikers because you have to get more union workersment and then if you side and use taft hartleys like you are siding with management. alienate more. let's not get to that point. instead they got to that point. commerce secretary, transportation secretary just mia. >> steve: we have heard joe biden say during his entire administration that he is the most prounion president in history. joe biden won wanted big labor to have more power. they have got it. and now, you know, 75 percent of bananas cut off and a whole bunch of other stuff. i was reading a great op-ed in the "wall street journal" this morning it talks about -- and i didn't realize this -- in addition to wanting a 77% pay increase which would put them at about 70 bucks an hour, they want a bigger container royalty, which is a union welfare program, where the longshoremen get paid regardless of whether or not they work. >> ainsley: wow. >> steve: that's quite a deal that's what they want. >> brian: in america? >> ainsley: because of your advice, steve, i have a counter in my kitchen full of bananas. half of them are green

to your point about taft-hartley, it provides the president with a pout d power to get an 80 day coolingiod, which both sides could benefit from and get back to the table. he's not doing that. isn't it risky? there is no harm in giving a cooling-off period to force discussions. >> it is risky not to invoke it, but i understand, giving the parties a little room to see if they can negotiate, but the problem is there is a lot of complex issues here related to new technology and how you deal with that. we went through that on the west coast in hollywood dealing with the issue of technology. it took a long time. so we can't sit back and allow our economy to be seriously impacted in the meantime. so i really do think we have to get people back to work. and the parties back to the negotiating table, negotiating seriously trying to resolve these issues. that is what i believe would be in the best interest of our country right now. >> neil: the third issue is the expanding war in the middle east, everyone waiting to see what israel does. a president made it clear that he does not think it is a go

nearly 300 trade associations are urging the president to invoke taft hartley and stop the strike.this law. your reaction to response from government? >> well, yeah, we are one of the companies that signed onto that letter. you know, our interest is getting this deal done. let's get this set led. let's move on. let's get the groups to the table and finalize a deal to get back to work and of course we would prefer arbitration, prefer getting it done that way. if it takes invoking the taft hartley as we said in the letter, we're just interested in getting it back to work, getting the economy back on track because there's a lot of published reports that there's a $2 billion impact in total, agriculture is one of those areas of the you economy tha ths working very well in terms of intrl markets and it's a shame we have to automatic about this at this point. maria: it sure is. certainly after that's expectations that we were beginning to rein in inflation, it's about to come back in a real way. for things that people want like pork and beef. dan, we'll be covering your work and certainl

and the taft-hartley act is part of the law that the president has the ability to invoke that.gress doesn't have much say in these things but we will continue to hammer the point they have to get back to work. >> this is a perilous time for the country. we are still reeling on the heels of hurricane helene and damage done. iran firing on. this is emblematic of the biden-harris and what they have done to the country. >> ainsley: approaching the anniversary of october 7th and what happened to israel. they are fighting revenge. took out of leader of hezbollah and hamas. took out five other leaders of hamas. they used the pagessers, they blew up pagers and a lot of the terrorists killed as well. they are fighting back. but yesterday there were 200 missiles that were launched into israel. there was that attack. >> steve: of iran. it's so crazy. >> incredible. >> ainsley: what's your reaction to this and what can we do? >> let me point back to the president and vice president. they have put us in this situation tried to appease iran with policies. they have empowered them. they have

wholesalers are calling on the biden-harris administration to reverse course and invoke the taft-hartleyforcing workers back to their jobs while negotiations take place. >> as we are getting this close to the election, it sounds like they don't want to make their friends in big labor unhappy, but, in the meantime, the rest of america is going to be unhappy. >> former maryland governor larry hogan, a republican who has the local union's endorsement in his senate race, standing with picketing workers tuesday, refusing to criticize the administration. >> i don't think it should be a republican-democrat think thick, think we should all be trying to see if we can't get these things resolved it is important to the economy. >> should they invoke the taft hartley act? >> i'm not sure if that is necessary or not. >> by some estimates there is up to $5 billion at stake for the u.s. economy each day this strike lasts. in the meantime, businesses are scrambling to find other ways to move their products into and out of the united states. bret? >> bret: all right, grady, thank you. oil prices jumped t

that is a power given to the president under the taft- hartley act.ents including richard nixon and george w. bush have invoked it to stop port strikes, but biden thought that would be selling out the workers and their bargaining. >> mister president would you intervene in a dockworker strike if they strike on tuesday? >> no. >> why not? >> it is collective bargaining. i don't believe in taft- hartley. >> harris also came out in support, saying it is about fairness and support for the president and vice president strengthen the union's position. after two days the union suspended the strike. fox news was rooting for a costly strike and sounded pretty disappointed. >> i've got to prepare all of you to get very angry, because what we are about to share with you will make your blood boil. as most of you know ports along the east coast were shut down this week because of a union leaders demands. we have an update on that and including a reported 75% pay raise for dockworkers. i think the employers are up to 62%. anyway, a lot of them make six figures. kam

they should invoke taft-hartley.ou can't strike him you've got 80 days, resolve this at the negotiating table. that's where this should be resolved, at the negotiating table. it shouldn't be a strike. a strike is counter to america's national interests. stuart: always appreciate it. lauren is back with us. people panic buying toilet paper again? lauren: absolutely. we had ptsd during covid, the supply-chain crisis. i remember going to the food store, never spent that much money in my life, we were panic buying and it extended to toilet paper. it is happening now. if you go to costco people are buying what they can. there is no toilet paper shortage which of all the things we get from overseas, it's not toilet paper. 90% of the toilet paper is the mystical he produced. it comes from canada or mexico so it is brought in by a truck or rail so on the idea toilet paper might get cheaper because we can't export it because of the port strike so i'm worried in the us he will be just fine and prices could come down. we won bi

it may go a bunch of days, and eventually taft-hartley will tick in. george w.ve it 11 days. ronald reagan -- that's a great conservative icon, and i agree, all right? i was in the government. i was was defending it on television -- >> i know you were. larry: march okay. point i'm making is they were public service, public union, public unions had no right to strike. that was the principle that reagan objected to -- >> that is true. larry: it had nothing to do with what arthur and you are cooking up. nothing to do at all. [laughter] by the way, in those days inflation was coming down. so you're wrong on both counts. flag ender -- faulkender, if you say one bad word, i'm going to jump on you too. [laughter] what they want a $5 an hour increase per year over six years. this is not unusual. this is not unusual. biden said take $4 an hour, but he hasn't gotten deeply involved yet. but the the thing is, and this is courtesy of john carney of the business digest at breitbart, the top wage gain was scheduled, scheduled to be $39 when the contract ran out. it is now wor

taft-hartley was off the table because collective bargaining works.nd workers should share in the large profits of the ocean carriers, particularly after the dockworkers sacrificed so much to keep this moving for the american public during the pandemic. as a result of the hard work that i undertook along with secretary buttigieg, secretary hsu and a number of people in the white house, we are seeing dockworkers get a fair share of the industry's record returns. we are seeing ports opening so consumers and businesses can get what they need, and we don't expect to see any effects on our economy or for consumers, because we have strong supply chains may built in the wake of the pandemic. the president and vice president have consistently supported the collective bargaining process. when employers and workers come to the table, they find a good outcome, a vastly different approach from previous administrations that might've busted unions and rollback worker production. finally, i will say the data we are seeing and the data last week confirms our economy
