Harvey Gantt continues his conversation with the High Point Enterprise editorial board. Topics inclue the importance of job training; jobs moving overseas; Gantt is against doing business with regimes who abuse human rights; committees he'd rather serve on than Foreign Affairs; Social Security and Medicare; Gantt is against tax cuts for corporations that send jobs overseas; tax cuts to balance the budget, and the chances of the Democratic Party winning.

Lots of static in foreground, talking is soft. Mostly coming out of right side. Audio cuts out at the end.
