"And therefore it's in the center for shipping line First of all makes a few stops in the United States as possible to simply drop the cargo in Southern California and expect a cargo owners to go far Northern California go pick it up rather than having the ships they can extra stop So there's a price distortion currently going on That's incentivizing this efficient movement to make as few moves as possible better shipping lines Well let's talk about that for a second So let's just say those boats that are stuck outside of LA and Long Beach do decide to head up to Oakland What kind of additional resources or money would you need to expand your operations to take some of the load off You know Oakland is a much smaller port than LA Long Beach certainly we can't say move all the extra capacity up to Oakland that we can handle it What we're saying is however what's happening is that the cargo that's usually destined for Northern California Nevada and Utah And also the cargo that exports for example the agricultural products in California and the central valley that are much closer to Oakland than to owing Long Beach What we're saying that those cargo should continue to come to Oakland directly from Asia without having to stop in the LA and Long Beach first And having a special direct service rather than this sort of stopping offer the two ports So I think one of the victims of this blockage is our exporters and especially our agricultural product exporters What they're having to do is not only having to go down to our Long Beach to go ship their products but they're also having to worry about spoilage of some of the products that are time sensitive And simply some of the smaller exporters that is not able to basically continue in this kind of mode of operation Black Friday Danny is just a couple of weeks away If the situation at our ports does not improve what could the holidays look like Well I think it's really the current disruption is not going to resolve itself by Christmas And that's unfortunate I think that some of the supply chain problems is already going to be impacting the holidays What we think is important is to solve for beyond that to make sure that this not is not continue for much longer And I think even a longer term we need to figure out how our supply chain can be resilient for future disruptions or irregular behaviors in consumer spending or even this kind of changed new normal that we need to handle And we all need to make sure that the ports are economic driver when we grow but not choke points And I think that's what's unfortunate As our economy grows our consumer spending grows the pods have become a chokepoint in the system which otherwise will be good news though we spend more that we have more economic activity So I think the important thing here is to make sure that this crisis does not continue for much longer And in the long term that the ports are actually facilitating growth in the market Anyone is the executive director of the port of Oakland and president of the California association of port authorities to anything a lot Thank you very much A federal judge has blocked an order by the Texas governor that banned mask mandates in public schools The judge said the governor's order puts children with disabilities at risk NPR's John Burnett has the story The plaintiffs in this case are 7 disabled children 12 years and under who are particularly vulnerable to COVID-19 Federal judge Lee yeagle in Austin ruled that banning masks in Texas schools violates the federal Americans with disabilities act of 1990 and he issued a permanent injunction against governor Greg Abbott's order He said the child plaintiffs are being denied the benefits of in person learning He also said the state government failed to present any evidence that requiring masks fundamentally alters educational programs Kim Davis Rogers is one of the attorneys who sued governor Abbott and the Texas education agency on behalf of disability rights Texas All of our planets have disabilities that put them at a higher risk for severe consequences from COVID And the accommodations that provide them the most protection is the use of masks But governor Abbott's executive order prohibited schools from requiring the use of masks The judge pointed out that since in person classes resumed this semester in Texas more than 200,000 kids tested positive for COVID and at least 45 school districts temporarily shut down Texas attorney general Ken Paxton had already sued 15 school districts that openly disobeyed Abbott's order He argued that its appearance decision not the schools whether their child should be forced to wear a mask Paxton tweeted last night that he strongly disagrees with the ankle's order barring him from suing any other schools and his office is considering all legal avenues to challenge the decision It's expected to be swiftly appealed to the conservative 5th circuit Court of Appeals again attorney Rogers But in the meantime we have an injunction that allows school districts to implement the accommodations to protect students with disabilities 7 other states mostly in the south and southwest have stopped school districts from requiring students to Don face masks legal fights have broken out all over so far 5 other federal courts like the judge in Austin have found that prohibiting masking and schools violates the ADA in Florida the state appeals court found in favor of governor Ron DeSantis ban on school mask mandates Meanwhile the Biden administration has weighed in with the Justice Department and the education department supporting lawsuits challenging bans on school mask requirements.

"John. Thank you very much, And this is W n y C f M HD and AM New York W N J T FM 88.1 Trenton W N J P 88.5, Sussex W N J Y 89.3. NET Kong and W. N. J O 90.3. Times River. A few minutes left with W N Y. C is Jessica Gold Education reporter covering the New York City public schools and education reporter Carly Citrine from Politico, New Jersey. So, Jess You know, I always say when we take a lot of calls on the same question, it's an informal, unofficial and thoroughly unscientific poll. However, I find it interesting that with all The media debate about a remote option. Um Almost every call was apparent, saying, I'm just so glad my kids are in school, and I don't see a lot of opposition to that in my community. Kat. I agree. I thought it was really interesting to and I think the point about, you know, keeping the big picture in mind that it's great for kids to be in school and You know, nearly a million kids are returning to the city public schools. It's important to keep that in mind and you know, hopefully all of the precautions that the city has put in place. From social distancing to improvements to ventilation to testing, all of which have issues, and there's criticism of how some of that is being done. Um, but hopefully it will work and kids will be back in school after an extremely difficult year and a half. To the last caller who raises a very understandable concern about kids safety when kids below 12 cannot get vaccinated. Um, here is Mayor de Blasio response to that when I asked him basically that question on Friday's show. I think we're different than almost anywhere. In terms of the rigor that's been brought to the equation, but that said in summarizing Brian the whole summer Uh, big program well over 200,000 kids we had to school closures the whole summer. So, yes, we may have some and in that case, the entire school would go remote and continue on for that quarantine period. I think that's going to be a rarity based on what we're seeing now. So just I mean, that's almost a response to the to the final caller. But can you fact check that? I mean he's hanging? The no remote option for individual families in no small measure on the experience, and, uh in summer school, uh, this summer, which, of course, just ended with he says 200,000 kids. And only two schools had outbreaks that required closure is that A good indicator. Is it even inaccurate step? So it's true according to their numbers that only two school buildings closed over summarizing, But there were classroom closures and quite a few of them If a kid Or an adult test positive then. The entire unvaccinated population has to go remote, and that's the rule going forward. Um, so I think, also with summarizing You know, it started in July. Um when our numbers were lower, and things were looking optimistic, and then you know, we had the rise of the delta variant, so I think how it plays out with Delta is an open question, but the mayor often says That because of the precautions in place even before so much of the population was vaccinated. Schools were safe. They were very few. You know outbreaks where schools were seen as the source of spread last year, and now we have the vaccination on top of that as a precaution, so hopefully that will make things safer going forward. And Carly Citra night was speaking to one New Jersey teacher recently, who was actually quarantined five times in the last school year. So says the teacher, um for Outbreaks in the particular school and New Jersey has like 600 school district, New York Listeners may not realize that so how much is Governor Murphy mandating statewide and how much is he leaving it up to individual districts? Yeah, I mean throughout the entirety of this pandemic, Murphy has really been pushing the local control message and saying that, yes, all of these 600 plus school districts or pretty much have What he's been saying. Flexibility to make their own decisions around a lot of this Now some stuff does come down at the state level, and there are Department of Health guidelines. But what some teachers told me to is You know, there has been either some fudging of the numbers or The way districts have been tracking things like in school transmission. You know. Last year they didn't count cases caught during extracurricular activities. So if a bunch of kids caught Covid playing soccer at the school after school That wasn't considered in school transmission because it wasn't inside in a classroom during school hours this year, teachers have warned that because of the CDC, um really strict guidance about close contact, saying that you know if If it was under 15 minutes, and both students were masked. Then you know it doesn't count. And so I think there's There is some concern that numbers have been kept artificially low. In that sense, so I think there's there's just a question. And there's been a lot of concern that you know states and that Department of Education officials really be honest with parents with teachers and with community members. About you know how the disease is spreading and where that's happening, and to the headline of your article on Politico Covid, turning New Jersey's nonpartisan school boards. Into political lightning rods. You even mentioned in that piece that the Republican candidate for governor Jack Cinderelly, turned a Toms River school board meeting into a campaign event. What happened there? Yeah. I mean, we're really seeing, uh, the kind of politics around school board meetings reaching a boiling point. So, uh, literally kind of showed up to a Toms River school board meeting, which He had kind of sent out campaign emails to folks saying, You know, I'm going to appear at this board meeting to kind of introduce my plan for school funding, But that's not what he did. He he appeared at the board meeting. And kind of talked broadly about mask mandates and whether or not masks are effective and it really rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. These school boards are supposed to be nonpartisan bodies. That don't have control over things like mask and vaccine mandates That's in the governor's hands with his executive orders, and so there was a kind of sense of like, Don't come politically posturing at my school board meeting. But the same time You know, school board meetings have have always been political in a sense, and they've always been a really easy access point for a lot of folks in the community to come and share the way they feel about things that are happening in the state, and so You know, there's concern is this too much, or is this just historically the way it's always gone? Yeah, one last thing Jessica and I'll say to Carly's last point. That we didn't even really get in this segment into the mask mandate, Uh, aspects of that to school, which is huge in its own right. We'll do that in another segment, but Jessica here on day one in the city, the UFT says it supports. The vaccine rules for teachers, but I see it also joined a lawsuit with other city workers on Friday over Mayor de Blasio in person requirement for all city workers, which also takes effect today. So what's the teachers aspect of that? Yeah, well, the UFT, the teachers union joined the other unions in a lawsuit questioning the legality of the vaccine mandate. They also went to arbitration with the city. Over two things. Um What happens if you refuse the vaccine and what accommodations could be made for people? Who, um Don't either say that they their religion objects to the vaccine, or they have a medical accommodation. And so what happened was the arbitrator came down on Friday. You know, Friday night so really close to the start of school. Um, outlining some very narrow medical accommodations that You can have for not getting the vaccine. Um and also religious exemptions, except that it says that if the your religious leaders have called, have supported the vaccine, then You don't qualify for religious exemption, So that's a lot of religions because a lot of religious leaders have come out in support. Um And so now, if you refuse the vaccine, you can either get severance um or and leave or you can be on unpaid leave and continue health insurance. So that was the alp outcome of the arbitration. Can you name any particular rigid religions that as a religion are against the vaccine requirements that people can name? I can't when I.

"Now and every adult as of September, 27th in the building. No one in the building will be unvaccinated as of September, 27th. We believe this is an extraordinarily safe environment. We've proven it. And the most important thing is our kids have to come back, so that's the way we're approaching it by throwing every conceivable health and safety measure at it. We have very, very capable Medical leadership in this city that I've seen us through covid. And they believe this is the right thing to do. I think parents should see that this has worked and engage it. Because our kids just need to be back together. As a follow up. I've seen some stats that indicate that enrollment. In kindergarten in particular is down compared to previous years, and the speculation is that that's parents who want the remote option who are declining to enroll their kids in the system. And there's There's fear that some of those families may not have other good options. Some can afford private school. Some have moved out of the city. Things like that. But there's a fear that I've read about at least that some kids will actually disappear from the system because there's no remote option. Um, have you have you acknowledge that or can you account for it in any way if it happens, Yeah, I respect that. You're raising a fear and a projection. That's not what we're seeing is the honest truth. What we're seeing is after a global pandemic and a lot of disruption. That we definitely think some parents are sorting out what they want to do. That's normal. We normally don't have a full take on what attendance. These schools going to be What enrollments going to be until the end of September, beginning October in a normal year? So I do think there's some sorting out going on that notion of people left is way overstated and bluntly in certain demographics, folks who happen to have more means, But when you look at the overall situation is the census just affirmed the city is actually bigger than it's ever been. 8.8 million, so Some people left. All of them came back, but along new people have come in, and it's not about lack of people what we're seeing. Parents overwhelmingly want their kids back in school and are acting accordingly. I think there'll be a small number that watch and wait for a bit. I want to see how the very beginning goes. I wouldn't urge that I would say any parents should just get their kids to school on Monday. That's what the vast, vast majority of going to do. But we are not seeing a big trend line here, and I think there's been some very loud voices. On the remote issue, but they are by no means anywhere close to the majority. Overwhelming majority want their kids back in school, and we're hearing that from the schools. Parents are engaging and saying Very clearly they're bringing their kids back. Here's a question via Twitter says Mr Mayor was still waiting for guidance on field trips. We have the trips booked, but we don't know if we can take the trips. We need a policy announcement, so that's schools related to That is a damn good question, Brian, and I'll make sure we get that out either. Today or Monday. Obviously, field trips will take a little while before they happen, But we'll get the guidance out on that. It may have gone out and I just don't know about it, but we will. We will get that immediately. All right. Um, you will have closures. No doubt there will be outbreaks. L A so far has had three of what they call school wide outbreak. So almost certainly There will be some in New York. What will happen then? We'll just offering an important fact. I'm not belittling LA they have a different reality. On a lot of levels. Um our level of strictness in terms of health and safety measures is the highest in the nation, and that has been proven And what's happening in our community. With, you know, five point almost 5.6 million New Yorkers have had at least one dose. I think we're different than almost anywhere. In terms of the rigor that's been brought to the equation, but that said in summarizing Brian the whole summer Uh, big program well over 200,000 kids we had to school closures the whole summer. So, yes, we may have some and in that case, the entire school would go remote and continue on for that quarantine period. I think that's going to be a rarity based on what we're seeing now, Uh, we definitely are seeing some progress on the overall situation with Covid and the Delta variant based on the high level of vaccination, and that number is about to go up meaningfully because of all the mandates hitting right now. But I'd say what is more likely is some classroom quarantines for sure. But remember, any adult or kid vaccinated does not quarantine unless they're symptomatic. That's the CDC rule. That's the city rule. If you're in a school and a classroom, there's a case in the classroom, but you're not symptomatic and you are vaccinated. You're staying in school to continue learning or continue to teach and support the kids. All right, 11 more question on this. The teachers union is more or less supportive of the vaccine mandates. I know some of the details, uh, still being arbitrated and negotiated. Um, but the city has what like 80,000 teachers and more than 100,000 teachers, plus other school staff. How many do you anticipate having to fire for refusing to get vaccinated without a medical or religious exemption? And how will you have enough replacement teachers to fill all the classrooms? I'm guessing that the need will be something in the thousands, even if it's just two, or 3%, who declined the vaccine. It's a great question. I appreciate it. Brian, let me first saw you. There's an arbitration process going on. I want to just be very careful about what I say. Given that fact. But I'd say broadly to you. No one wants to fire anyone. Let's state the obvious. We want all our teachers just get vaccinated. Live up to this mandate. Look, New York City set a very strong path when we did public employee mandates..

"Yes, very disturbing, And this is obviously a trend we've been seeing for some years. Pediatric obesity is really on the rise, but it's exacerbated by the pandemic and really accelerated. So the 5 to 11 year olds went from 36% of them overweight or obese to 45.7%. And this is 200,000 kids in the Kaiser Kaiser Permanente, Southern California kind of insurance network. Or monitored pre pandemic and then postponed our mid pandemic since we're living through it. 18 months seems like a long time of lockdowns in the U. S. But a year and a half. Medically speaking, it's kind of a short period of time for obesity to balloon like this, especially if you're talking about kids that are 89 years old that are, you know, maybe 40 £50. I mean, that's a huge weight gain percentage in terms of their percentage of their total body weight. And it's hard for parents to to deal with that. What do you How do you you can kind of make better choices, But you're not going to put a kid on a diet, right? Um so a lot of this is because You know, there's been more sedentary behavior on all of our parts. And you have kids that were out of school for a year and didn't get PE or recess or the exercise. They might have gotten walking to and from school, but it also really reflect a change in our diet. Is the U. S alone in this kind of childhood weight gain? No. So I talked to a researcher who studies this internationally, and he said that there are more than a dozen large scale studies that corroborate this, So this is an international phenomenon. And he said, Basically, a lot of this is is not so much about in activity as it is about what we're eating that we've turned to ultra processed. Foods in unprecedented numbers. You know the kind of pizza roll kind of, uh, snacks and then it's also just untrammeled access to food. You know, When kids are in school, they get a breakfast. They get a lunch. Maybe they get a snack, but it's not like in every 10 minutes phenomenon that we've seen this past year and a half. And 5 to 11 years old prime age is really for kids to learn healthy eating habits. What about older kids? Did you know the 15 16 year olds that have a little more eating experience fare better? So 12 to 15 year olds. It was pretty dire, also. So they they saw a rise in a single year that was as big as the rise in the past 20 years combined 16 to 7 your 17 year olds. Um, fared a little bit better. They had half of that rate of increase. But a lot of people are saying that some of us also, maybe because, um, all the screen time has allowed food companies to do a lot more direct marketing of bad for us foods directly to kids, you know, and parents just don't have the wherewithal or the time or whatever. To monitor every single second to see what they're what they're watching. And even some of these educational sites have ads for fast food ads for sugary breakfast cereals, So you know that there's really no safe zone.

"David Vancamp. Well, it's been a really tough few months for well, really more than a year. Now, I guess for the media that's trying to take down a rising star in the Republican Party. Would be Florida governor Rhonda Santa's, because every time they try to throw something at him They respond with the truth, and they get embarrassed. It had blows up in their face. Every time it changed. It happened with The Associated Press recently, they had a Regeneron story a story about covid treatment, suggesting that The governor of Florida was pushing for it because the company had donated to his cause, you know? They did the same thing with with, uh, with Publix and the vaccines. They tried to say, Oh, this was paid for play. It's not stop it. Find someone else to bully because this guy is not going to take it for a second. Um and then They did it again. This time. We're looking at MSNBC this morning. Listen to how they described what happened. In Palm Beach County today. Here is the audio from a very upset Joe Scarborough. Just moments ago, more than 75, doctors staged a walkout to protest the number of covid patients coming to the hospitals who have not been vaccinated. To think what and I know the area very well. What Americans don't understand is for every unvaccinated person that's filling up an ICU bed. That means with the hospitals jam somebody with a heart attack can't get treatment can't get a bed, so the framing is that there's this massive walk out. In protest being led by doctors. Here's how Wptv local news outlet described what actually happened. Dozens of doctors from across Palm Beach County on Monday described the exhaustion, burnout and struggle. They're all facing just before sunrise about 75 doctors stepped outside of their hospitals and offices to stand together and encourage the community to get vaccinated. It was a press conference. It wasn't a walk out. It wasn't a protest. It was a press conference. My gosh, but led by doctors. You want more people to get vaccinated? What a weasel. But then what happens even if there is a correction to the story you've already had Gladys call her eight friends, right? Okay. This And it gets spread on down the line. How it happens. I mean, it's like Palm Beach County was one of these as well as well as Hillsborough County schools where kids had to isolate because of possible covid exposure. And everybody said Oh, well that seed that will the usual suspects said. See that proves that Governor Meany face De Santis and his whole ban on mask mandates doesn't work. They? They also failed to note that these major school districts with like 200,000 kids are more Have a mask mandate in place, right? You can opt out. But most have not. Most students have not There also oddly silent about a story that broke on Friday. I don't know if you've seen anything about this, but hundreds of kids at one school district in California. Are going through the same thing. They're having to isolate because there was a potential case that came up. So yeah. Sometimes school district policy is Hey, look, we had an exposure, and so we're going to have to isolate anybody who is in contact with this person. And you know what? You're looking for a common denominator. It ain't the status of a mask mandate. I promise you. None of this is not your right because somebody's you know, Gladys is called up eight or 10 of her friends or whatever, and spread this. No one is talking about. The fact that there are school districts in California doing the exact same thing the school districts are doing in Florida and we're all going through it. The common denominator is this is a virus that spreads very quickly Quit. Trying to dunk on people you hate One other question real quick before we move on that story. Part of that audio. Did Joe say that you've got the unvaccinated filling up ers and different rooms and then you have someone that has a heart attack. They can't get treated. Yeah. That's that's not true. That's not happening. So that's what he said. Yes, that's exactly what he said. To paint the picture that you're suffering. Heart attack and you go to the er. Sorry We got an unvaccinated people in here that we've got to deal with Covid. You're going to have to die out there in the parking lot of the heart attack guys in a flatbed, right? What? I'm sorry, but we brought this up more than a year ago. But when when they're talking about, uh ICUs reaching 100% capacity no one ever points out or rarely points out. Most ICUs operate between 85 95% capacity anyway, because it's expensive to run and I see you And so you don't you don't want to have if you if you've got 95% of your beds available in the ICU, somebody's going to say you got a pair back costs. Mhm. Yeah, but it's it sounds way worse and scares people more if you say it the other way, right? You know That's a great point, David because you don't know what baseline is in any of these prices. You have no idea. But you know what sounds bad when they say 96%. You're like, Oh, my gosh. But I remember going through that last year and then talking to a doctor. I know. And this person was like, Oh, yeah, You're always pretty much operating between 85 95% because it's super expensive to keep those beds open. Right. All right, Let's get to the spotlight for Scott Robbins Do it. Are you ready to my shoe?.

"Of millions of students started the school year completely online, including those in 13 of the 15 largest school district in the United States. The primary reason is concerned over safety for students and staff. But recent data are shifting the discussion on school safety and infection rates of Copan. They argue strongly for opening K through 12 schools. Previous evidence has suggested schools are not super spreader. That research came from other countries were very specific cases in America, like Y M C. A summer camps. While this suggested little impact on infection rate from opening the schools, it was possible that maybe schools would be different outcomes in the United States, but they're about the same. Group of researchers spearheaded by Brown University professor Emily Oster have created and made available the most comprehensive database on schools and covert case rates for students and staff since the pandemic started. Her data covering almost 200,000 kids across 47 states from the last two weeks of September showed a covert case rate 0.13% among students and 0.24% among staff. It's a shockingly and wonderfully low number number. By comparison, the overall U. S case rate is 2.6% in order of magnitude higher. Other research has shown hospitalization and fatality rates for school age. Children are also extremely low People 19 and younger account for only 1.2% of covert 19 hospitalizations in the United States during the peak of the pandemic. CDC reported that of all covered 19 deaths up to October 10th on Lee 74 with Children under age 15 during the 2019 2020 flu season. The CTS. The CDC estimates that 434 Children under 18 died of the flu, but we don't shut down schools over the flu. About teachers well turns out that various countries they never shut their schools they teachers have the same fatality rate as people in other professions. The cost of reopening the school's measured in hospitalizations and fatalities is low. Okay, It doesn't matter again. The pagan argument goes that so long as Trump is president. We cannot open the schools under any circumstances. It's Trump's fault. The schools are closed and they're from Trump goes away.
