Ok, here we go, folks. Here he go. Here we go. Thank you for coming. I am david cook. Our guest today is richard trumka. This is his ninth visit with our group. We appreciate this prelabor day tradition. He followed his father and grandfather into the mines. He worked his way to Penn State University and earned a law degree. In 1982, at age 33, he was elected president of the line workers of america, the youngest person in history to hold that position. He served three terms as president. In 1995, he ran to be secretarytreasurer and became the youngest person to hold that job, one he held for 15 years. He was elected as president in september 2009 and we elected in 2013. Last year, he became a grandfather. Thus ends the biographical portion of the program. Now onto the breakfast mechanics. We are on the record here. Please, no live blogging. No filing of any kind while the breakfast is underway, to give us time to listen to what our guest says. There is no embargo when this session end
U. S. Reaches a milestone in missle defense calling its first intercept test. Now that the rocky statue is, blocked off what is plan b. Go in the museum. Any ideas for you. No. Maybe next time it is an excuse to come back. Yep, no up close selfies with rocky for next two weeks, statue is block off for sight improvement. Hopefully by that time weather should be warmer, maybe more sunny, right, say it so, say it so. It will warm up. We have that going for us but i cannot promise a break between systems at lee by tomorrow though we are looking ahead to really nice weather. We should see a nice sunrise for a change but it is very dreary right now out here and we do still have fog, across the region. Looking at storm scan at more localized zoom right on the out kits of our area, some showers, thunderstorms have been firing up. That will be our storm, later honor our system later today and story will be that we have a shower, thunderstorm to dodge throughout the course of the day. Meanwhile

Aq also s p down 2 10 of 1 . The declines are there but not as much as you might expect. Most investors are on the sidelines awaiting janet yellen and her comment. Yes. We are pushing pause. Talku can say anything to down that rising euro. In asia, prettier than brawl wall street. We have rallied for eight of the past 10 sessions. It has been a decent two weeks but we are flat for stocks. The kiwi, two days of losses. Spikes may continue to exit if we break below 72. We are just at a whisper from that now.
