operations going there. william la jeunesse is reporting live near the port of los angeles. hi, william. martha, the president said the ports were going 24/7. they haven t. we re here. there s 157 ships off of the coast of southern california. 57 are in port. 100 are off show waiting for a berth to open up. prepandemic, average number of ships here, 17 total. average wait, zero. the time to take from shanghai to a store shelf in the u.s. has gone from 40 days to 80. time is money. the ports want to add that 3:00 to 7:00 a.m. shift. the long shoremen say they re ready. the ports couldn t. the trucks said they couldn t. the warehouses say they couldn t because they didn t have the labor to unload the trucks. we have three shifts, first, second and third. they choose not to work the third because there s no one that comes to pick up the cargo
truckers to get that flow of goods. think about it, you see the pictures of the ships waiting at anchor, waiting outside of the ports, that means the ships are already there. so it is everything after that that we have to work to unclog. it is they re not being spaces for the ships at the berths, the containers being backed up and that goes through a supply chain, through the rails, the trucks, again, all the way to the store shelf. yeah, the ripple effects are wide and we re learning they re very expensive as well. i do want to ask you about the agenda item, of course, of the social safety net bill, the infrastructure bill. i want to ask you about southwest, we saw these disruptions here in recent days and i just wonder how concerning is it to you that the cascading effect of just a few hours of weather and air traffic issues caused this many cancellations? this is another example of a resilience issue. we have seen how the supply chains have not always been nimble enough to keep
ships at anchor, that means the ships are already there. so it s everything after that that we have to work to unclog. it s there not being spaces at the berths, it s the containers being backed up. that goes through the supply chain, through the rails, through the trucks, again, all the way to the store shelf. reporter: kate, because all of this is contributing to the inflation that matt egan talked about, they re working across government departments, the agriculture department trying to expand poultry processing to meet demand. the commerce trying to unkink supply chains for semiconductors so more cars can be built. the biden administration is motivated right now to do everything they can. i have to say with the ports, i m just surprised that they haven t already been operating at 24/7 capacity. that was a sur prizing thing to learn today. good to see you, john. thank you very much. coming up for us, the nfl players association calling on the league now to make public
