Harvey Gantt briefly speaks at a citizen's forum on kitchen table issues, such as education and the economy. Questions from the audience mainly revolve around foreign policy. At 13 minutes in to the recording, audio cuts out and switches to a different recording of Gantt discussing Jesse Helms, which sounds like a news talk program or interview.
