Freight Expectations | Andrew Sullivan | The Get Back Sessions

Synopsis
Freight Expectations – Millions of dollars' worth of goods that Americans have ordered are stuck on giant cargo ships, waiting for a place to dock at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. It's an epic logjam that threatens to derail the holiday season. Bill Whitaker reports from the ground zero of the supply chain crunch, where cargo from Asia has been piling up in record amounts at the docks. Andrew Sullivan – The British American conservative author and editor warns America's democracy is endangered because today's citizens cannot separate politics from life. Scott Pelley reports. The Get Back Sessions – Rock music's greatest divorce, the breakup of the Beatles in 1970, was always associated with the film and album "Let It Be." Half a century later, dozens of hours of that film left on the cutting room floor tell a different story. 60 MINUTES will show some of it for the first time, revealing an intimacy and creative bond between the four musicians that belies the long-held narrative. Jon Wertheim reports.
