entire group of people that happen to be from the middle east based on the actions of a few. the chinese virus last year, we encouraged our children again please don't overlay hate on the entire asian community. we want you to embrace them because you can't overlay before they do that but when it comes to race, late all of the guilt, every thing that happens onto whiteness and therefore reject. >> a fascinating point you just made. what is the end goal? maybe you can answer that question in a few minutes or have a whole segment or show about it. appreciate your time and insights. >> 18 after the hour. the vice president of minneapolis the council claims she was held hostage by

1:25 am
causing a big gap to get all this fuel where it needs, we are starting to have these shortages. >> are you surprised when you see these numbers, 42% spike in gas prices compared to this time last year and then look at the 20% of tank trucks in the us being parked due to this driver shortage. i wonder what happened to this profession going forward. i know oil tank drivers specifically have a special set of qualifications, how far do you think recruitment will be in this field then? >> for tenure drivers it is hard because you are hauling gasoline, diesel, extremely flammable, hazardous, has to be above average, to get someone to do this will takes training and skill because it takes a little bit longer to haul gasoline and diesel flammables other than
1:26 am
home goods. there is going to be a problem in the future. not only that but a lot of these truck drivers, much older people, it is going to take -- is going to take over the jobs when all these drivers retire. >> a big question. when you look at those numbers we just pulled up and already seeing a gas shortage in some states if things don't change and more people don't come back onto the job almost immediately due see this getting worse in the upcoming months? >> definitely getting worse, not the first time we've run out of fuel, the pipeline was shut down, we ran out of fuel, texas ran out of fuel and it wreaked havoc, not only do these diesel fuel to move these trucks but for example us, we use it to cool and refrigerate the perishable products that we

1:35 am
cosby got duped. back in the day when the first district attorney was reviewing this case the district attorney indicated they were not going to file criminal charges against bill cosby. therefore he did not have a fifth amendment right to remain silent which compelled him to speak in the civil case filed against him where he made certain admissions that later on a new prosecutor came in, we don't agree with that first prosecutor, we will prosecute cosby and to add insult to injury we will use the same deposition testimony as evidence against him in the trial that ultimately the supreme court reversed. they said that was a violation of fundamental due process that cosby was duped into giving the civil deposition and they reversed course and used it against him and that was unfair. it was unbelievable to me, this was a judicial spanking, not
1:36 am
only reversed the conviction but won't allow prosecutors to re-prosecute them and hours later is he is back home at his dining room table. amazing. >> have you ever seen prosecutors act like this? the first prosecutor acting like a broker to facilitate a civil settlement and in the second case the prosecutor going back on the deal the first agreed to. >> when i took over the prosecutor's office when i was appointed prosecutor the rule is you abide by the decisions of the previous office, it's not about the prosecutor but the office. when i came in i may not have liked certain things my predecessor in done but the fact was as a matter fundamental due process i accepted them because it was the office that offer that i didn't reverse course on that. >> the phrase but for, or you legal books when you go to that, bill cosby would not have given that testimony.
1:37 am
judge denied britney spears's request for her father to be removed as conservator. if you gave this decision to the people jamie spears would be out, britney spears would be in charge, the judge in this case saw something, in a typical conservatorship what rationale could the judge have had to say we've got to keep jamie on? >> greg us the question that way. it is not about what the public thinks. i understand is a lot of passion on both sides of either of these issues but this is about what the law says that the fact is with this conservatorship it is being monitored by the court and the court is basically saying factually she still needs the conservatorship because britney
1:38 am
wants to be relieved of any conservatorship. this judge is finding factually she still needs a conservatorship and with regard to her father, he's doing everything that is appropriate and it is being reviewed by the court so there's no need for the change. >> i wonder if society takes a look at conservatorships in general because i don't think 99% of american new what one was before britney came to before but we will see. we appreciate your time. >> 37 after the hour, trouble appears to be brewing in vice president kamala harris's office, staff members reportedly dealing with low morale into internal tensions. unnamed age tell politico it is an abusive environment where people are thrown under the bus. harris at stop spokesperson pushing back telling politico, quote, we are not making rainbows and bunnies all day. what i hear is that people have hard jobs. welcome to the club. the search is over the woman sought for causing a crash during the tour de france. local authorities arresting her on the west coast, she caused this major collision by holding up a sign on the side of the road. the woman could reportedly face
