Same aflcio president. but creating this unusual cascade of folks paying a call on the president-elect. do we know what happened in that meet something. >> no. i had some calls on it. you know, trump is -- hes the symbol of big labor. trouble does have -- lets be clear here. the difference between trump and trumka may not be as different as you think. a lot of people voted for donald trump. so he cannot totally dismiss union voters. so i bet you you see continued outreach with teamsters, mr. hof...
