33
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 4: in Maine. That's not to say ICE is completely out

34
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:48,400

00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 2: nor'easter will not give us a direct hip, but it

83
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,240

84
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,840

85
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,720

110
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 6: air travel should not be welcoming dogs on board.

111
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 4: It's not fair to they have dogs in the same

112
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 4: space where people might be sensitive to the smell.

113
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,720

114
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:44,080
