so if there are ships that are idled off the west coast and, actually, there s some off savannah on the east coast as well, we ve already had some from is savannah be rerouted. we can accept that, we have her capacity. and they made a big deal about california ports would start doing 24/7. we always do 24/7 in florida, so we have multiple options. each individual port can offer companies incentive packages to be able to do it. obviously, that s a good thing for florida because we re driving her economic activity in our state, and we ve been doing very well, but it s also good for the country to be able to alleviate these log jams because they have shortages continue to pile up, and especially as we get into the christmas season, this drives inflation even higher. i mean, it s a huge problem, and so florida can step up and help be a partial solution to this really national crisis. we want to do it. maria: so tell me more about the economy in florida. you said that you have been creating
these ports in los angeles and long beach where i am are massive. they account for about 25% of the total imports into the u.s. turning them into 24/7 operations is no easy feat. you have to find the workers. you have to get all of the companies on board. you have to just develop the facilities to do this. and so this is going to take a while. and in fact, experts are saying that these log jams could persist well into next year. yasmin? all right, scott cohn for us. thank you. still ahead, everybody, off the beat. chicago could lose half its police force over vaccine mandates, the latest on the standoff between the city and its officers. plus the latest decision by the fda on more boosters. what you need to know about getting another shot in your arm. dr. kavita patel is joining me live to break it all down for you. we ll be right back. sfloechl ll down for you. we ll be right back. sfloechl
just afghans. obviously foreigners too, to move through. they are now being moved through pretty efficiently. you can hear in the background another aircraft taking off. they have been taking off and landing all day long. they are being moved through very, very efficiently now. there is a pretty slick operation that has been stood up in four or five days only. it had a disastrous start with a lot of log jams. they tried to clear it now. the hope from the afghan perspective and indeed from the foreign perspective is the gates might open soon. every time the gates open, more people flock to them, the crowds get bigger and then they become a bigger terrorist target for a group like isis-k. the one thing that the islamic state would love to do is humiliate and cause destruction for the taliban in the early days of their nacent administration and humiliate the withdrawing forces led by the united states. anderson? clarissa is back with us. clarissa, the last time we spoke you were at the
over the last 48 hours at least when this whole operation seemed to go into a completely different gear. i think following the log jam at the beginning of this process when there were 20,000 people on this air base, there are now as of a couple hours ago down to about 4,000. and they re moving them out at a rate of close to a thousand an hour, or at least they were. so, if that goes on, they are in danger of running out of people to evacuate. the problem is that people are not managing to get to the airport necessarily. if they do, getting in is a very slow process. it is a process that the u.s., which is running the perimeter, are trying to be much more sophisticated with, with opening different gates at different times, trying to avoid log jams, identifying individuals, bringing them in. there are covert missions to bring others in as well. we just had this announcement from the taliban saying that they were going to block afghans from getting to the airport, that they are closing th
congress like so many mts have before. jeremy, a man who ran as a teal maker kind of still repeating his bona fides tonight using as i said some of the boilerplate language that could have been cut apaced. moug can he attribute hits problem the log jams, the lack of progress for how long can he blame that on others? i mean that s the question every republican in congress right now is asking themselves. because that will then determine whether or not they are able to cut and run from donald trump which a lot of them privately say they want to do. but they have something called their own political base to worry about. and trump does remain quite popular though his popularity has slid and slid quickly in the last week, week and a half. he has that base. that base is pretty solid. i do nink though listening to
