let's bring in chris spear the ceo of the american trucking association.kes our -- different from the uk's >> i think the uk is experiencing something that's brexit induced it was largely fueled by immigration. when you have a lot of the products coming into great brichbt, a lot of it, including fuel driven by eastern european drivers. it is a processing problem to get those trucks into the country to deliver their goods it is a different feel our problem is more vast, has more factors contributing to it. we are seeing port inefficiencies you are seeing the backlog of ships. asia, too, they are operating at 50% precovid manufacturing levels their ships are just as backed occupy in their ports as ours. you have driver and worker shortages, chip shortages, pipeline hacks, a whole host of factors including things we don't control like natural disasters. layer all that with covid, it's amazing that our supply chain is as resilient as it is. but these are all factors that contribute and then the driver shortage on top of it. >> right. >> getting talent back int

spears to sit for a sworn deposition. i don't think that this is going to be ending, chris, anytime soon. ng your head a lot. i find that compelling also. what does this mean to you legally? >> so it's very exciting that there is now a petition to terminate this conservatorship. the problem is, we don't know when it's going to be set for hearing. i am hoping it will be joined with the other petitions set for september 29th. and if it is, and they give notice, it could very well be the end of the conservatorship for britney. the only question is whether or not jamie put in any requests, for example, that his petition be approved -- or his accounting with all of the fees and all of the expenses that he has paid on behalf of the conservatorship. that's the big question. >> well, let me come to you for that. do you know anything from the documents that are in there? >> yeah. so jaime spears is asking for almost $2 million. that includes a salary for himself of almost $500,000 and legal fees to his legal team. so, you know, we know that britney spears' attorney, matthew, filed in a petition las

. >> we have reached out to state senator chris dush who is spear heading this. you brought up that bogus audit in arizona by the so-called cyber ninjas. that was riddled with frankly ludaeudicrous problems from the beginning. is that what they're modeling this audit on? >> there's no question. two of the republicans in the caucus leading this effort went out and examined what arizona did and came back to pennsylvania to pursue this type of audit. they came back to pennsylvania and brought with them the groups that did the audit and pressured those counties to do an audit of their own process. one of the witnesses last week testified there was no fraud in fulton county. we believe that this is orchestrated as part of a national conversation to undermine our voting process, all at the behest of our former president, who by the way they checked with him to make sure it's okay. they're trying to take people's personal information and utilize it for political gain. we believe that's wrong. >> it's not as though the arizona bogus audit changed anything. it didn't turn
