i know there had have been conscontingency plans made to ue west coast ports but that interview you did yesterday with chris spear, he was really worried. >> because of the truckers. this isn't just about the dock workers. this is about truckers. this is about other union workers that -- throughout the supply chain, maria. going back to the food, we learned yesterday on the program that like a container full of bananas, that's going to spoil in one week. one florida importer brings in aspair gus. it will have to be flown in. this is inflation, it will hit your grocery store. it won't be this week. be by two weeks, you're going to see it. make no mistake. and as far as gina raimondo and the administration, where is pete buttigieg? where is our secretary of transportation? edward lawrence sent out a long readout from the white house about what the harris, bidenation -- excuse me, the biden, harrisation, what they're going to be doing. it's a lot of talk. the teamsters don't want biden to get involved because he could invoke the legal taft harris law, the taft hartley law. he brings they i

cause significant job losses according to a sphiewdy done by air must university there those west coast ports.2%. pay up per year for union workers there. so, do we stay competitive and allow this kind of technology into our ports? i have a feeling, ainsley that, this has a lot to do with the fact that the unions just using it as a lever to get additional wages and to also get a balancing act going on. that's really what we want. is we just wants it to be fair and at the same time we want to embrace the future. >> ainsley: it's such a big pay increase, kurt. could you imagine going to your boss and saying i want 80% more. they would probably laugh at you and say i'm going to hire someone else? >> well, let's see where they're, of course they are not getting any support from the white house in terms of port operators in terms of taftd hartley act. the president has said he is not going to touch that and, ainsley, also tracking this morning, if you own a cell phone major malware concern hitting many, many phones in the u.s. we had trouble yesterday with verizon, oonline if you get minus letter

just last year the west coast port workers got a new contract with a 32% wage hike over four years.now he is looking at that and saying we want that and better. just yesterday, dana, he rejected port management offer of a 50% wage hike over eight years. just to give you an idea where they stand now. it seems like the two sides are far apart. but he does at least seem to feel very empowered. >> dana: i think i really understand the money and wanting more of the money. and i also understand where they are coming from on no automation. but what does the other side of the union say about automation and the need to be more modern in our ports? >> when you look around the world, the experts tell us that the u.s. lags behind in terms of automation. china, for example, their ports are much more automated than ours and that means they are able to process cargo faster, more efficiently, more of it. that comes at a lower cost for them. the longer our ports are less automated, it means american consumers, you, me, all of us are paying more for our everyday items to reach our doorstep. that's th

product that as one guy, the ceo of flex port it to me, most of the customers are sitting on two months worth of excess inventory. they diverted shipments to west ports, anticipating there will be problems. if this lasts longer than a week or two, then we will really have a problem because ships cannot come into these ports which means they are stuck waiting for a chance to load and unload. any ship that is stuck in a floating queue off sannah or houston is a ship that cannot be deployed somewhere else in the world so suddenly, you have scarcity elsewhere. you also have congestion at ports like los angeles and long beach, these two ports together which are the gateway for roughly 40% of all imported goods reaching the united states by container. people will remember that during the worst of the pandemic, had 50, 60, 70 ships stuck miles off the coast of southern california, waiting for their chance to load or unload at the docks and that could happen again and we could have product shortages. could have inflation. it could be very bad. we have seen estimates of $5 billion a day in damage if the strike continues. >> can we talk a little bit abou

efficiency or for lower costs and prices in the future steenekamp told the turning event was when the west coast porto said that they would not unload ships that might have been diverted to the west coast, and that kind of singed it, that they were not going to play the middleman role. what you think? >> i think it's something to that certainly, the retailers knowing the holiday season was a risk ordered earlier in order through the west coast. have it shipped across the country, and the west coast longshoreman said look real slow down and we are going to do this in sympathy of various coast gulf coast fellow longshoreman. that and white house pressure, white has put a lot of pressure on the owners to settle this, so it's a big win for the white house. they take the economic disruption of the table right before the election and the get a big win for the unions where they've been self professed the most prounion white house in american history. >> neil: always great catching up with you. thank you very much. douglas former congressional budget office are always warning about debt under republican and

port strike could also have a ripple effect on the u.s. economy in create shortages of food and goods. the good news is it's not affecting west coast ports. in the south bay, california's largest landfill, gas to renewable natural gas plant is coming to keller canyon in contra costa county. this is a first of its kind project in the nation and will reduce 62,000 tons of carbon emissions per year. this partnership comes from public services and pg and e the facility will convert landfill gas into clean energy to support the state's goal. reaching 60% renewable energy by 2030, there will be a ribbon cutting in about 90 minutes from now. the presidio national park in san francisco is celebrating 30 years. former house speaker nancy pelosi was joined by hundreds of park rangers and presidio trust members yesterday to celebrate. back in 1989 the area was used as a military post in the u.s. army actually plan to sell the land. but a couple of years later, the presidio joined the national park system where nancy pelosi established a partnership in agency to manage and transform the area into a park 200 million dollars went into impr

fuel delivered as it comes into our apartment there is no longer fuel coming in the some of the west coast ports tampa and manati but it got a lot of fuel there on dockside that is going to continue to be used. and i spoke with both parts of tampa and manati today and it got a lot of fuel. so that's continuing to happen and then fuel has been coming into the east coast ports, that's probably going to stop soon maybe it's already stop now but again there's a lot of fuel that's on hand that can be brought out on the dockside and that is what we're looking to continue to see happen. debris removal from hurricane helene, i think most people know that counties in the cities, they have contracts for debris removal after a storm. there was not necessarily a great job all around on some of the contractors in places like manati, sarasota, hillsboro counties. we saw this debris once it was clear, there was some type of storm this weekend. we decided to create a state support debris mission and what we've done is we've mandated the landfills are open 24 hours, we had one county where they didn't have anyon

we do this by increasing emergency stocks, perhaps we'll move things to the west coast ports and so we're doing everything we can to help smooth this out so there won't be as big an impact to the supply chain. i have to tell you. as i talk to members across the nation, one of the things they're reporting over the course of the last few weeks is shipments they expected to show up a couple weeks ago haven't arrived. we believe the long shoreman have been slow walking things at the docks for week to time that with the beginning of their strike so we'll start to feel the impact. you have your countdown clock. reset it back two weeks. we're already seeing a slowdown that happened even before the strike. >> dana: listen to a little bit more of lydia hu's interview with daggett. >> are you worried this strike is going to hurt the everyday american, the farmers that need to reach the export market? they're telling me they will hurt. >> you have to realize who the longshoremen are, right? people never gave a [bleep] about us until now when they finally realize that the chain is being broke. you kn

west. shipping ports reopen, as dock workers strike is suspended.

now, west coast ports, including the port of oakland, are not expected to feel the impact. now to decision 2024 and the final countdown to the november election. with less than five weeks to go, a make or break night lies ahead for the vice presidential candidates. senator jd vance and governor tim walz square off in their one and only debate hosted by cbs news. but you can watch it right here on nbc bay area. and joining us now is paul mitchell. he's a polling expert from political data incorporated based in sacramento. paul, thanks for getting up early and joining us. let's talk. thanks for having me. let's talk about what kind of impact do you think these vp candidates normally they don't i feel have that big of an impact on the race. but this year is very different. yeah. this year we're facing what's really kind of a short election cycle. so it's almost like every event has greater importance in this small like 90 day campaign. as opposed to what we're used to. so i think particularly for tim walz, there's a need for him to try to help voters better understand kamala h

port of oakland behind me engaging in those look like. we'll take you to houston, where those workers have been on strike since. >> the west coast with james'sere are more than 30 ports in the country on strike. all of them on the east and gulf coast. so oakland and san francisco, not involved here. but these workers have been on strike since midnight this morning. while it is directly affecting us, while it's not directly affecting us here on the west coast, experts worry the trickle down effect if this strike lasts long enough, could definitely impact us here. this all stems from a disagreement between the international longshoremen association, the union representing port workers, and the us maritime alliance, the employers representing the ports. they have been at odds since the summer and had this morning as a deadline to work out the details. union workers are asking for a ban on automated cranes, gates and container trucks to protect jobs they also want better wages. the maritime alliance says it offered higher wages as much as 50% increases over six years, and limits to automation. and we heard from the president of the longshoremen

that these two parties look far apart until they are not and the west coast ports are the ones that sethe floor and the bar for what the east coast was potentially can get. let's see where we are january 15 in the next few months. >> that's all i can say. it's an interesting thing. >> we will have a conversation next as well. bloomberg's craig trudell on tariffs, china ev's out of europe. ♪ it's our son, he is always up in our business. it's the verizon 5g home internet i got us. oh... he used to be a competitive gamer but with the higher lag, he can't keep up with his squad. so now we're his “squad”. what are kevin's plans for the fall? he's going to college. out of state, yeah. -yeah in the fall. change of plans, i've decided to stay local. oh excellent! oh that's great! why would i ever leave this? -aw! we will do anything to get him gaming again. you and kevin need to fix this internet situation. heard my name! i swear to god, kevin! -we told you to wait in the car. everyone in my old squad has xfinity. less lag, better gaming! i'm gonna need to charge you for three people. jonathan

we saw in 2002 we had an 11 day lockout on the west coast ports. taft-hartley. whatever authority the president can use to get the ports open and get parties back to the table they need to use. annmarie: do you think given the election this administration in no shape or form will do such an act? >> you have to look at the election but also the national economy. jp morgan sing $5 billion it's the u.s. economy. it's not just the port workers but the potential for other industries to get hit significantly as we have reduction through those ports, farmers try to get products to market. all of these companies will be impacted so you have to look at the betterment of the national economy to get these ports back open. >> jonathan appreciate your time. we will continue this with nila richardson. good morning. sharing these numbers if the strike lasts more than two weeks we estimate the knock on effects could lower october payrolls as many as 80,000 jobs. how do you read between the lines what's going on here for data in america. nela: the bigger effect of
