because we are concerned about a possible disruption of supply from iran i think it goes more from that, the cost of oil has gone up, there has been an oil em bar doe in europe, people are basically trying to horde supply they are convinced something will happen they will not be able to get oil a day or two down the week, so really there is a lot of reason for gasoline prices going up first and foremost it is concerns about iran. >> okay so i am glad you bring that up because when it comes to iran, you know and we hear, are prices going up the flow of oil might become unstable depending what happens, military action all that kind of thing the u.s. doesn't get any oil from iran if i am right. >> it doesn't matter because in the world, because we are so competitive for supplies what they are consuming and hording in europe effects us here in the united states there is a big differential in price if

you look at the price of oil here in the united states and compare to what we are seeing in europe there is a 10 to $12- barrel difference we are being dragged up kicking and screaming because of what is happening in europe in europe let's face it they are very concerned, they are not going to get oil in asia, the same situation they are driving up the price, buying every available drop they can here in the u.s., we are exporting gasoline to them. >> all right now we here in the united states obviously we are used to what we are used to as prices get towards $4, we hear about $5 a gallon we start to get worried some paired to the rest of the world, aren't our gas prices relatively low at least lower than most of the rest of 2 world? >> they really is -- the rest of the world. >> they really are. most industrialized countries get hit by very high taxes from that viewpoint i guess we can

feel good i can't find anybody out here, who will tell me they feel good about gasoline prices we have gone up 27 days in a row unbelievable to be honest i don't see any end in sight in the near term, today is a very big meeting between president obama and netanyahu what comes out of that meeting may determine whether prices go up another dime or pull back a little bit. >> what is your thinking in terms of whether or not we will get to that $5 plateau? >> if we see a disruption of supply from iran, if there is some type of conflict we will see $5, you know if on the other hand there is some way we can pull back from the brink we could see prices collapse and go back below $3 a gallon you see the markets getting prepared for the worst case scenario producing more gasoline, producing more oil, opec is producing the most oil they have in over 3 years there is a lot of supply there in

case something bad happens if it doesn't happen prices collapse. fit does, then i am afraid we are destined to touch $5 a gallon. >> i have to admit i will let you go, i don't understand why we are selling gas or oil to anybody else and importing it from others it is crazy but phil thank you for your analysis, we will talk again down the road. good to see you. >> looking forward to it. coming up we will tell you which movie tops the weekends box office and the records it beat. >> anises dinner turns into a lot of tension when -- a nice dinner turns into a lot of tension when two domestic divas run into each other. pgh >> first as we see the life of the animals, we ask this question, what is the only land mammal native to new zealand

well, they are a huge part of our lives but cannot verbally tell us when something is wrong we are helping you get to the bottom of pet issue, joining us now our friend dr. katie nelson an emergency vet in alexandria good morning to you always good to see you. so she is answering just a couple questions that you put on facebook for us, and let's take a look at the first question it is about a popular item that we find at the pet stores, first we will talk about shedding here is the question from alissa she says is there anything i can do to

help my dog stop shedding so much. >> if i had the answer to this i would be a multimillionaire. truly the only thing you can do is regular bathing and brushing that is really, they shed more hair because their hair is short so they just shed more and let it go there are certain times of year they are going to shed even more coming up, in the spring and then end of summer they actually shed a whole lot more there are some products out there, that are sort of sticky white things you can brush them with, that really strips some of it out, stripper combs depends on what type of hair they have whether you want to use one of those and the other one that is out there called the furminator it works well just from personal experience it works well on dogs that shed. so regular bathing, regular brushing making sure they don't have some underlying skin issue you know like some different type of problems like parasites and stuff can cause them to shed much much more make sure you talk with your veterinarian

if this is all of a sudden they are shedding tonnes of hair. >> all right, this person might be making a million dollars, the viewer wants to know does plaque blast, basically the product that you find at the pet stores do they work on helping with oral care for dogs. >> well, there are some great products out there, they generally just tend to try and stop the plaque and tartar from adhering to teeth there are lots of food products out there as well that have some different products in them as well, for preventing the plaque and tartar from sticking to the teeth, everybody recommends brushing as well i think brushing is a great idea but really and truly the only way to get underneath the gum line because we are not going to floss our dog's teeth the only way to get underneath the gum line, there are new products or a new fad for having your dog awake and scraping their teeth

awake dental because everybody is afraid of anaethesia all that does is cause damage to the surface of the teeth you can't get a good polish in when they are wide awake and it does nothing for underneath the gum line just in people, that is where all that dental disease starts and once we've got all that bacteria and break down it is going into the blood stream just make sure you have your veterinarian doing a professional cleaning on older pets at least once a year. on a really quick personal note i would like to thank forever home, for making our home happier yes, we did adopt lacy from the rescue group here is a picture of my youngest two girls with lacy playing with her she is 11 weeks old and a day so we are loving her up so much thank you so much. >> she is adorable. >> she is a poodle mix i am not sure what the mix is. >> she might not shed too much.
