Speaker 1: as a staunch defender of US unions, but leaves the

9
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,319
Speaker 1: fate of thousands of workers unclear and tees up a

10
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 1: potentially protracted legal battle over whether politics influenced a security

11
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,760

15
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 2: think unemployment is resilient, is the stable. It's at a

16
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 2: good place. But we're going to be paying attention that

17
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 2: he doesn't call any farther. We want the unemployment rate

18
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 2: to stay where it is, so we will be paying

19
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 2: close attention to make sure that indeed those increases in

00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,120

Speaker 1: of his late grandfather.

34
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 3: His spirit fills this place, and the real reason that

35
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 3: this spirit fills this place is because of the people

36
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:02,040

Speaker 3: of the Gulf of Mexico, that provide about fourteen percent

50
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 3: of US output. And this band is rooted in a

51
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 3: seventy two year old federal law. This would make it

52
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 3: a durable one that could complicate President elect Donald Trump's

53
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:57,280
