    I'm gonna have passed. I'm o'clock morning folks across castle fit yours service. Eagles' advantage to offline numbers you know and we didn't do it again. Rebuild your free two WORD. That's 2329673. Spartanburg simply 57 W award you. Or 5749673. Beat them out of by text line 71307. My email address is and intercom dot com. That's or US at the NT ER CEO Dot com. Very much to get through this hour feel free to comment on these stories or anything else that's on your mind pick up where we left. Left off last hour. The reverend Franklin Graham. In an interview on MSNBC. The morning Joseph show. Says presidential candidate Mitt Romney is not a Christian. Graham says he likes Mitt Romney added quote he's a Mormon. When one of the host suggested Romney still is part of the Judeo Christian faith. Franklin Graham responded most Christians. Would not recognize mormons as part of Christian faith I'm just saying that most Christians would not recognize Mormon as a of course they believe in Jesus Christ they believe in a lot of other things too. That we don't accept theological. Graham said he would have any issue with Romney becoming president quote. He would be a good president if he won the nomination because I think he's got to strengthen business wise politics wise he's a sharp guy. Andy's proven himself. Our diet I hope I say this right is it. Do you lower Dello. You know do you Yes. Yeah I can get it all in no man hit by a lenient they are I know ma'am I would have no reason to. Well how can you could if that's something that you never banned drugs and as I can we do not only that I'm I'm. I I act in Salt Lake anyway I've stood outside the Q particular it why he's. Say it did not why don't you just say actually man out you know you're not. And you into the wrong person I is that the judgments have already been made I'm not judging anybody on any thing I'm quoting the story by the reverend Franklin Graham. So I don't to say. Statement about the Mormon Church I don't know I ask your question I said what do you do and I'd. I don't know. How. Do you then okay. State for all of us what you think that I said that that was wrong what did I say. new saying look at them are doing church were not great schemes. No I did not say that. Let me ask you this more theology Mormon theology does teach that. Our god the Christians and god that I believe Dan is one of only countless time. And it used to be a man or another planet that he became a god not following the laws and ordinance says is that what you believe as a Mormon. No that's not organism teaches according to there. Their analogy. Well yeah I was so much had you ever protect the idea of going to the in a moment I don't ever dominate. No ma'am were not mormons but you claim to be that you don't even know what. The the theology teaches apparently. thank god didn't know what it's theology All that and why didn't you answer Lisa's question Ellis what does that teach them that dares to think like what was inaccurate about what Lisa just quoted to you. It would not complete. It was taken at a time to do you know. The Bible's not only want the Bible says there's only one guy right. and they are at an annual church You do you believe it when you die do you believe when you die. That you can baptized somebody after they die. I believe that what they do it today. Have a certain is that boring than it and they like they think. So is the answer yes you believe. believe that somebody can be now this is not out of context is a straight the book. The do you believe that someone can be baptized after they die. I'm just asking. You it was eerie ghost did happen. I don't expect whichever that you have lived in your life. That don't think he did it to write what people are just critters out. Well you made it apparent I'm a I'm trying to learn more and you keep avoiding the question. Let me ask you one more that I have to move on you believe that when you die you get your own planet to rule over. And that's where I. I must be mistaken then because that comes straight from. Never mind at that you can bet name one other thing that I've said that I'm mistaken. What do you just wanna. Yes just want that and I. Know it's below what. Name one thing doesn't take hardly any time at all on give you one last chance name one thing that you've heard me say that is inaccurate. One thing. One thing this. All right now I well apartment rig Here you name it because I haven't said it I mean please I guy publishers that. I mean you've got if you gonna go off the handle like dad and accuse people of things. At least try to be truthful I think the book of Mormon talks about being truthful to. I shouldn't but I could it talks about adding works to salvation. Kayla is next time. Should get. It. They're coming out the moment and reverend Graham but they're not and they don't want to that age. Spotlight while they had it practices. Back at write about charged not why after hearing leaked that he was their theology either edge. Are not in that thankfully there more than one guy. Let me tell let me tell you where you can get I tell you what I did Morgan. Mormons Christians. A question mark. And there are so many sites and one that I'm quoting from right now it's Christians. Something ministries is Mormon isn't Christian. And and it has everything I mean it has. Lots of sites listed on Google out on quoting or making that I mean there's several places you can go and read about it without having to attend services that Brian is next time Brian. Am I and it's at a Mormon church's my. At a moment service is I have read the book of Mormon a lot of Mormon doctrine does that come out of the book more than it actually comes out of work like. A book called doctrine and covenants. And it's unfortunate. That because the Mormon Church uses. Language this I was like this scriptures that a lot of Christians are mistaken in thinking that mormons are in fact Christians. The Mormon Church puts the church of Jesus Christ on their land and beings yeah so let things and processions and think since they name the name of Jesus and the fact it must be Christians The least there's a right some of what she's said things that she's seen on the web site. Artifacts true. The teachings of the Mormon Church aren't that the god of this planet that got the mormons was one from man on the planet and he achieved god at. But being obedient to the laws of the gospel. And Melky populated this planet with his spiritual children. In fact one of the Mormon priests anymore of Mormon presidents profit you rebel leader at the that there are more god than there are tens of thousands earth and you have to learn to become content yourselves just to god and before you. And Joseph Smith even said that he brought more people to the whole church that did Jesus. That's correct I'm not just at all kinds of problems in terms of how he's thinking I'm not even so much concerned about Joseph this problem as much as I am concerned about. Presentation. Of mormonism as if that were in fact the Christian gospel it's not. It is it was according to according to Mormon teaching. We got to this that is the six foot tall white Caucasian man who achieve god had the unemployment himself and now. And cute and he gives the populates this. On with his spiritual children. When the spiritual children as cheap as one of God's little children according to Mormon teaching his was super Lucifer and Jesus is spiritual Brothers. And that was a good dispute and have been over whose plan of redemption would attract. Be issued an extra cheating on this planet and you want and that's what it was accordance Mormon teaching. More than and if your faithful obedient to a gospel and they're very photography so in the temple we will get repopulates pilot goes look where they're spiritual children and that. Is this perpetual ongoing deportation people and that in contract. More with billion misrepresenting it suspended for a long and I have had multiple conversations were missionaries or missionary. And Once you get up so. Initial presentation what was the what the Mormon Church teaches. Now that they're all in one. Tell us briefly. Because I'm not a Mormon. And in so why I've I've certainly don't claim to be an expert in it. But I have been Salt Lake City I have stood in front of the temple. They won't which you of course. But. Explain a little bit about the I don't wanna be disrespectful but the the holy underwear. I'm not. Undergarments putter war and our Warren. It has a whole lot to do with the understanding of their priesthood is their participation. In sacramental rights group for. Perpetuation. Of gospel work. You're not allowed in the temple and that's correct and we lot of you wearing. Holy garments that the an effect that's kind of there's kind of look up well Oprah slippery should language and that's. That's part of the reason why you as a non normal are not allowed into the because you're not allowed to participate in those activities in fact even even a Mormon. If don't always waited a bright start in rub it is always beg the question so if were all Christians. Why wouldn't any Christian and be welcomed into the temple. Well we are meeting even a even a Mormon is a welcomed into the triple if in fact. He hasn't been keeping what's called word of wisdom. In order to get temple recommend that is an opportunity go into the temple and participants simple activities. You're local Mormon leader have to. Provide for you a couple recommend the Mormon Church is how are trampled they do not do. Marriages. Fraternity which is one of the things that it's none of the couple they don't do. Baptism for the blood which is something that's done in the temple and you can't do that or your relatives and family important and if you don't. People to purchase it was similar how you look and it was actually kind of continued on regularly. You don't get a couple and if you don't get it up or recommend and you can't go and temple work. And pocketbook. Momentum here that is why would we how or why would then go on missionary endeavors every man. If he wants to achieve big as desperate in wish there the reason is because the Mormon Church teaches that. There are a couple of different levels happen. There's a very baseline bottom line kind of what will happen that they're good mormons and good people get into what what you really want is exultation that station is that. Certain level Atlantic station where you will get to become a gun on and you will get plan you get populate that planet with your old spiritual children. And in order to achieve a top sanctions you do have to. You do have to you do have to. Board you have to do your nationality issue that it would it was a if you are in. In fact be a good at eight or more than you achieve that bit by the way that you live. I'm not the reason why that part of the reason why there's such a strong emphasis on in the works in the Mormon Church. Because the women actually need a husband. At the end of time to lift them that I deal. Because you would not be admitted into that they're. Believe heaven. Without one correct and there's also a curse placed on certain dark skin used to at that I have been lifted. Good yeah well anyway there fastening stuff so reverend Franklin Graham saying that Mitt Romney is not a Christian he's a Mormon likes him said he has no problem with president but to have. This always starts an interest in the discussion. Think we're not we're not electing. the ministry chief Rick electing the president and so. Does Mitt Romney's. Faith have something to do we how we think that it will hurt them but but. I'm not electing a voting not electing for a Christian I'm electing a guy that I think will be able to. Abbott but you know has made no bones about it I mean he might he touts his faith in the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints he's about Mormon he. What's elder in the Mormon church's tax records show he gives them a lot of money. Millions of dollars to the church. But the question always becomes for a voter. Yet you're not electing a preacher but to and you put your confidence and trust. In somebody did you believe in your own faith is somebody that that is so misguided did an amusing about nice turn there. Thanks and that interest there okay mortal moment nine Tony news radio WORD. They're exactly 945. Glad to put us on news radio WO largely just a programming Come Mike Gallagher is in town is in the musical Memphis at the WORD night. And Mike was on with us earlier and he is going to have the reverend Franklin Graham on live I think he said coming up in the alive. O'clock hour stay tuned. Right near news radio WORD so. Reverend Franklin Graham ability. MSNBC morning Joseph interview says quote Mitt Romney is not a Christian he's a Mormon. She's had some interesting things to say about President Obama. Obama helps islamists. And ignores Christian persecution. Let's hear some of that coming up after the bottom of the hour news meanwhile back to the phones David in Taylor's time. I ya look thanks. What did bank and power much that it what I want the site but that's pretty by the got to understand about. christianity vs any other they call. Number one it is probably stripped her the work the script for a little while. The Specter as the Bible. There's nothing compared to what it felt to be up to be added to. Bad moment and hopefully the book of Mormon is all equal why we have the board got that wrong one. Opportunity. What what like describes the Bible literally but use large what's gotten election. Are sick got that might that got man. and at that got bit earlier on occasion is that just write what I spiritual. Maybe whatever problem you know it is all that stuff now McMurray is salvation. That's the most important get the and that's why it's been knocking on doors and optical hospital adult that is part of fair way to get that. It went bankrupt Got look at it doesn't look bound by the. Well and and and what he's talking about David that we Davis talking about folks. As a Christian and let me just say it's simply. You can be what you think is the best person in the world you can be a great person you can be involved in your community. You can be liked by everybody. That will not get you into heaven unless you are saved and born again by the blood of Jesus Christ that's what the Bible teaches. Harrington thank you David Larry's in Pickens quickly hi Larry. Yes great show pretty well you guys do. It for a firm to use those things which you have before you about the Utah Mormon Church are correct that's exactly what they believe. So what people don't realize there are other people out here in the world. That believe in the book of Mormon but not the peaking at the Utah Mormon Church. We don't believe and it got courtship we don't believe in multiple wives. Garments or anything like that we. Malia added to that book of Mormon. Could substantiate the doctors that they teach. Both the transcript that was translated to Joseph Smith. We have that local Mormon as close to and College Station and tried to depict wearing out. Is that Jesus Christ is actually there's some of god so you just demand. There's different divisions in the Mormon Church that's something I didn't know. Other areas. Well Joseph or harder and deal rather. He had designated Asia also go to the third to be the next proper and cheer for the church. But seventeen different influential men decided that they should be in Brigham young or all of them. And he was emotion I guess I wish you would say there won't be at all. All of Mormon propaganda that's written about the Mormon Church is about the Utah Mormon Church. So what we tried they find the people. That we are some people that she stayed true. They're the way to church were surrounded by Joseph Smith their lowest just they think because we believe the book the more that we're what better at our church little. There are other people after that people don't realize there. there'll come a divisions within denominations are so many denominations. Are it's actually info Larry appreciate very much are at 930 news radio WORD. 34 or advantage talk to a number of Virginia as soon as someone moves on you can get one. Bring go to 329673. Spartanburg 574. Maybe 67 to three. Never get a busy signal that he used deep by text line which is 71307. It's the reverend Franklin Graham. Went on MSNBC's morning Joseph program. He was asked whether he believes Mitt Romney is a Christian he said no he's not a Christian he's a Mormon. He was also asked whether he believes. That Barack Obama is a Christian here's part of what he had to say. The President Obama and the muscles of the world peace and should be more concerned about them than the Christians that have been murdered the national. Tomorrow. Past and how he came to pay the price. He said that he was working on the south side of Chicago in the community and they asked him the community as what church you went to that I don't go to church. Then they said if you don't work in our community you have to join one of our churches and horse and he joined reverend Jeremiah church. So that's what his answer my question. The reverend Graham says Barack Obama has given Islam a pass. Including ignoring atrocities against Christians in the Muslim world. So much so that he says he cannot quote categorically say Obama is not a Muslim. The renowned Christian leader some of the reverend Billy Graham express shock and Obama's was doing little. To protect Christians across the Muslim world against a wave of persecution. MSNBC's liberal hosts according to news smacks dot com were flummoxed. By Graham strong rebuke of Obama. And again they ask him whether he believes the president is a Christian quote you'll have to ask that a President Obama. You can ask me to why I believe you're Christian I think people have to ask Barack Obama. He's come out saying he's a Christian so I think the question is. What is a Christian. Graeme said he asked Obama about his faith when he was first running for president nearer to quote there. Problem itself. Yeah all those people said these social issues don't matter anymore it's all about the economy how's that working out for. Speaking of this and politics. Rick Santorum. Has questioned the president's Christian values have you heard about this. This is from the Detroit news website dot com Detroit news.com. Lashing out on two fronts Rick Santorum on Saturday questioned president Barack Obama's Christian values. In attack GOP rival Mitt Romney's Olympics leadership. Santorum former Pennsylvania senator known for a social conservative views. Set Obama's agenda is based on quote some phony theology. Not a theology based on the Bible a different theology. He later suggested that president practice practices a different kind christianity. Quote in the Christian church there are a lot of different stripes of christianity if the president says he's a Christian he's a Christian. Because agenda like I thought I theology. On that later came and questioned through a Santorum spokeswoman Alice Stewart she said in a television interview. That Santorum was referring to president Barack Obama's radical Islamic policies. When he said the president's a gem that agenda was driven by a phony the knowledge. So. We'll sit. And speak to Santorum. got a debate tonight it may turn out to be the final debate lot of blog at stake here. And Santorum is making news Drudge Report. Here's the quote. Rumored to Satan has his sights on the United States of America Satan is attacking the great institutions of America using those great. Vices of pride vanity. And sensuality. As the route to attack all of the strong plans that have so deeply rooted in the American tradition. He warned that in 2008 have been politics and government are falling to Satan. Quote this is a spiritual war. And the father of lies has his sights on what you would think the father of lies would have his sights on. A good decent powerful influential country the United States of America if you were Satan. Who would you attack in this day and age he attacks all of us any attacks all of our institutions. He said that the students at ave Maria university in floor. Santorum describes how is even taking hold of some religions. we look at the shape of mainline protestantism. In this country and it is in shambles. It is gone from the world of christianity as I see. Now. This created quite a stir. I don't really know why I am 28. That's yeah but Santorum says he stands by everything he sets. So what's interesting is you got a lot of folks. Bringing up faith questioning faith. And the real question will be decided in November folks but you know is is this type of thing that matters to you or not. That is going to be the open question decided by this November's elections. Mike is in Simpson Mike thanks for waiting. Yes sir are you my journal. I'm doing great that's oh my comment about the white collar senior electing a president and basically not spiritual leader. But in that part of your core beliefs you know I mean religion in finance it and you know. It's an and that's a great thought there dual core beliefs still muttered of people obviously that mattered do you. Yeah I mean I don't vote for America's he has a dog with the same name is my dog in. Our will be voting for the president just to get Obama out. See what I think happened here I think a lot of people who. Really don't have faith. A lot of people who are angry a lot of people who. And their a lot of good reasons why to distrust religion as a whole these days a lot of those people they get really turned off by this. Because I I just think that their conscience is bothering them of course are in trouble for saying that. And you know god is always talking to was even when we refuse to listen. And I I I think that bothers people that some of us have had that void in our lives filled by something we really believe and and many people have found that I've I've often said I wish I could open their heads in just what I know in my own life but of course that's not possible. But again the question will be decided in November whether this Well yeah and hopefully it does matter because that is they'd gotten. Light on the way to country runs. It's always been legal question when people vote for an atheist for for us. Or you know the person it's an office right now. There you go oh well I doubt that yeah thank you Mike. Nine point in his radio WORD that frees up the line in Greenville 2329673. Spartanburg 574. 9673. You folks that'll just be patient. You know people say. I don't care about things like faith were not voting for preacher. So tell what John Adams wrong. One of the founding publisher John Adams said our constitution. Which made only for a moral and religious people it is wholly inadequate. To the government of any other. So people ask why is our system so broken. Wonders government no longer work. What you want stated. Could be that John Adams simple thought that was absolutely spot on. I I think it matters. But many people does and I understand that. If I'm afraid there's not a part of your life I I can understand just where your mind is. I hold. The things changed for you. Because there's there's nothing like faith to fill the void that most people try to fill with the other things. And you'll never with other things. In only god can filled that void insider who's to its rival. But I'm just you know the local talk show host is in Taylor's Bayreuth. Good morning I don't got thanks well great discussion a year beyond. What are things Freddie Mormon faith of course is that basic survival is accurate you know and now. I wanna point out that what profile and its contradiction. Between the holy Bible and the book of of the book of Mormon. It's done a very important thing your discussion earlier about the blood. Well well well you know we have lord's supper and we have a covenant with god through Jesus Christ. Well one days through all that came over to my house tonight curiosity them and they invited me over to their place and we had some discussion they try to get these states. They gave me a book of Mormon but went home after a long hard days and we got some very interesting discussion and I sat down 119 thought what I wanna find reading this book you want me to try to find face in the book of Mormon. I have to question of the lord and basically it's one thing came out like a light all the It would become. So I look in the index and a fourth found us. There three mentions lord's supper in the book of Mormon yeah. And it's ratified in a totally different context it's not the continent above you know there's at least three particular very strong mentioned in the holy Bible and each time it's very clear. making gains some other bubbles right time but it says that it's still new covenant of the blood. And basically what they're doing it ratifying the old Abraham covenant but not calling it. The new covenant and it would actually throw went over back to the elders older kids and sort elder George intent discussed through them briefly then and they were very clear that. They didn't make a difference to them whatever. But needy children need it the most important thing is in the legal arena in the spiritual realm. It's the blood of Jesus that does everything canceled it matters really yeah. So the book of Mormon specifically and directly contradicts the Bible all that matters and that's storyline comes up. And the look at that site. And you know anybody could look it you probably if you Google online. thank you let's jump up to Columbus North Carolina with Steve state. Good morning are the most yeah thank you Hines do you this is a great discussion. There is. to incredibly different concepts here out of here and and the warning is a personal salvation. The other is the moral teachings of the When I look at Christians of all stripes and Jews of all stripes are actually. If they're true the adhering to their religious doctrine. Incredibly. Moral. Guidant in their personal and public lives. That third monotheistic religions Islam is the only one. That would say if you were elected to be president for instance you bet your be your role more important than your presidency. It is to impose. Follows well. On your country. The other really aren't sure exactly but but. Christianity Mormon implement may not be christianity are going to that I don't care whether it is but the other two Judeo Christian religions. Do not compelled. A religious person. To. Little of the country and ordered it taken over for god and the most important thing felt that that the reverend. Said on TV the other night. Bomb was that he can't see inside right so I can have some don't stand in front of me like mr. Obama did and solemnly swear he's a Christian right. And vote for him on that basis right and then he gets hit out of what excuse but he certainly no question. didn't believe that he is a Muslim. Are you really don't know I know he's steel logically a the same thing reverend Graham said in disallowed. His grandfather and father were or Muslims and they consider him a Muslim. I don't know whether he studies the him any of that. So let me yesterday fifty mile an hour fastball right down the middle of the plate why wouldn't lie about it. Because he knows if he worked. my Islam. I'm didn't have a wearing our current jets and M held on got a good I get elected. I think there are many Americans who would still vote for him whether or not that would be enough to get him reelected is another question. Because a lot of people just say I don't care what years. But this that thanks for the call it instinct call. text messages on come out of my text line 71307. I was baptized. Into the Mormon Church believe me they are not true Christians as you and I understand it. And in this one roster were Mormon friends one of the last verses in the Bible. I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book. If anyone ads to them gobble had to him the plagues described in this book. Cindy gets the last word. Iraq back into it directly to god that worry that I would I have to go to the actual book What that you string it their with John Nance how candidates. The galaxy this shall I start and the bottom line is you need some studies for Mitt Romney or got another thing stay but. Don't tell anybody it was all a bad when you look into well in the U you've got Are right time and we in the show today on an uplifting note to those grants. Everybody remember Mike Gallagher up next and he is booked booked reverend Franklin Graham. On a show public Mike Toomey said he'll be on in the 11 o'clock hour so. More more about this story.

    Audio

    Wed, 22 Feb 2012

    Five and a half past Eagles advantage talk lines now cleared ready for you 2329673. Spartanburg. 5749673. capital by text line is 71307. My email address. Ross @entercom.com. Because I am Russ castle. Consistent conservative commentary know what you believe and we. Why you believe here's what I believe. believe Obama cares the smoke the smoke monster on lost. For those here remember that I just recently watched the whole thing. Holes can thank goodness for wireless. Com. Has the country in the history of the republic have we ever seen a greater Mon store. That obamacare supreme court's gonna take a look at it. And it's interesting this is from The Washington Times what the Supreme Court has announced it pulled due date they say they will allow. A full six hour news for the oral arguments over constitutional challenges. To obamacare. That is. The longest hearing in recent Supreme Court history. They announced Tuesday morning they would lengthen the hearing by an additional thirty minutes after both the administration and the parties. Challenging obamacare. And asked the court to spend not sixty but ninety minutes on a tax law. Known as the anti injunction act now would you hear about this. The question is whether the act stands in the way of judicial action on the challenge. Until after the health care law obamacare fully goes into effect. They're trying anything and everything would extra thirty minutes the Supreme Court now is gonna spend ninety minutes on the anti injunction act. A 120 minutes on the law's individual mandate that all of us have to purchase health insurance. They're gonna spend ninety minutes on weather just parts of obamacare can be invalidated. While allowing other parts to stand. And has spent an hour. Funding Medicaid expansion contained. In the obamacare. Over a three year period in in March and all of us after the march so if the Supreme Court decides. That that anti injunction act applies. Then they could put off a decision on whether the Obama care law is constitutional get this for several years. They can put it off for several years. If it is not to declare completely unconstitutional. By the Supreme Court. What does it. Country gonna do. Is it time to have an escape plan. Is it time to move. Because I my belief is this is the worst. Legislation. In the history of this republic. It is so far reaching we are still just finally now things. what I have next you did all that obamacare hippie in those over 2000 pages. There's a there's a big machine they are not making this up. Details next did it or not. and Big Ten folks obamacare is all about control. And being into every part of your life. It is not just about making people buy health insurance. It is not just about making. You accompany your church religiously affiliated organization out there. Through their insurance company even if their self insured pay for things like contraception. Sterilization. And abortion. It's not just about those panels that don't have to anybody that can decide whether or not you can get a test at the hospital today. We found somebody else out in obamacare cnet's news.com reports. A mandate. Buried in the health care bill. That president Barack Obama signed it march. Is now confounding not only the vending machine operators who are supposed to follow went. But also federal regulators. Who works for both Stewart and focus on. The machines. The FDA has ruled. That the provisions in obamacare that mandate that restaurant owners and vending machine operators disclose. Big calorie contents of the foods they sell. Retroactively. Took effect on the day that Obama signed the bill. The FDA however has not been able to give vending machine operators complete and final guidance. On how they should make their machines comply with the law. That's causing confusion and frustration in the vending machine industry. And leading the agency the FDA to refrain for now. From enforcing the provision this thing is so crazy nobody can figure it out. Section 4205. the patient protection and Affordable Care Act also known as Obama care. Says companies which what are your more restaurants or vending machines. Must disclose nutrition content for standard menu items. And that the vending machines in particular the company quote shall provide a sign in close proximity. To each article of food for these selection button that includes a clear. And conspicuous statement disclosing the number of calories contained in the article in a quote that section 4205. So they're DA is ruled that this section of the law went into effect march 23 2010 when Obama signed it. And has laid out detailed instructions on how chain restaurant should display the calorie counts of each menu item. Along with definitions of each item involved in the regulation the FDA. Has not managed to give similarly detailed guidance big machine operators in fact the FDA guidance produced on the question thus far. Has only reiterated the law's mandate that companies that operate twenty or more vending machines must and quote. Immediately disclose in clear and in a clear and conspicuous manner. The number of calories contained in each snack item or Neil Munro vice president of government affairs at the national automatic merchandising association. Also known as memo. Which represents vending machine operator says he was told by the FDA. That they still trying to get their arms around how to implement the provisions of the Obama curable. The resulting confusion is a problem for people in the vending machine industry. And accordingly have DA in hopes to issue a final guidance bidding machine operators by this December. But mr. Monroe says the agency told him on a conference call in couldn't promise anything. Until next break and. Oh boy. You don't do something fundamentally wrong. With first of all passing a like this. Remember the famous quote Nancy Pelosi well we have to pass it don't what's with the idea. That they didn't read it. We know they didn't read it. And they pass it anyway in here we are years later. And discover. And things about this. Or somebody says something yesterday just made a lot of sense to me. All these mandates. For example mandating now that insurance companies have to. More contraception. Or sterilization or even the morning after It is the equivalent of ordering in a supermarket store chain. Restaurant McDonald's. To get free food. Have you one of those businesses. But that kind of make him would you be a little concerned. Company you work for. You know you've got a call today. Listen we have decided. That you are going to have to give away your product or service Where the government we're telling you to do this you better do it or else. Gas prices are hot what are what if Obama. In a last ditch effort to get reelected. He signed an executive order now we could discipline obamacare. And he just mandated boom that every gas station in the country. Let's say for a day pass to give away free gasoline. Now would the majority of Americans and in a minute this is just crazy they had ever get behind it we'll put that they're. they're if majority of the country feels that way then why am I wasting my time. And yes we don't eight amendment had read it where they as far as the nose in front of our bags if an insurance company and I got this mandate would be tempted to go to jail. E-business being to be told what you can do. And people wanted to. Argue. When the case was made Obama wanted to take over a lot of support not just car industry but a lot of the private parts of the economy. It's hard to the phones Larry is up first I Larry. good to us and morning police and I. One thing and it's an inch or no evidence that that the greatest people observer this nation a world. He's most people land. And I mean every encountered in my life and loving arms I'll certainly when you're so involved there's. I've encountered some people people and military and so forth. But there is what some worry it Christian. Can't avoid Obama here is are no. There is no provision and it then allows. Christian or a Christian organization. That our members are very co Medical co To opt out from obamacare. you're from now for now. All of these waivers. And urban of one Hundreds maybe thousands by now. Waivers to obamacare. Are quickly gonna go by the wayside if this guy gets reelected. All our oil field goal his stated goal is for government to totally control health care he said that. I played the tape here that's his goal he wants a single Payer totally government run system. And that is that the truth the truth be known he wants everything in the country to be run by the government considers his agenda. Yeah true it'd be sort of against him he's gonna come do you and he's gonna do is best for general business are permitted Jack Jack got less than a minute ago. I'd go here's here's a horrible thought you walked into Catholic. Hospital and go to the cafeteria and there's a vending machine there dispensing of our best week. Birth control pill morning after pills and what you have to illustrate what would your EDT your Obama's health care plan. Believe it or not there are bidding nations high at there was a story a couple of weeks ago that that dispense these sort of things on college campuses. But ordered the FDA then if shape condoms and when the FDA have to determine the calorie contents. I'm condoms or I don't know better example like me what do you do if you operate what about edible underwear. they don't make your country birth control pills and and the best part Jack will be in court with your EBT It's going to be quite a bit scary you know what I economic. Excellent call you made me think and 89826. The heat problem by text line 7107. Obamacare is truly the first war in my lifetime that I think will lead to revolt in the country. Maybe exactly right. Time for Ross this is BS every item in my vending machine already has calorie contents listed on the package when you buy it. We listen carefully we've got to have a at that that's not enough it's enough when it comes. To the government or let me talk to Marie on her cellphone primary. Good morning and I make just a huge statement terminology amen I'm bought it On your show or shall a man called opt and that and I don't want under age. that is accurate in town about Obama care thing is that there to what chip. It. And I researched that and people have even some Tea Party leaders have criticized me for not bringing that up the bit to the best of my knowledge. That is based on a bill and a bill number that did not pass and did not make it into obamacare. Does to my knowledge. Okay and am also are the union people wanna look for Ottmar. They are if they are not believers are are in their church they're kind of pushed it.

RI our HO DE but it's not. No I thought it nanny was hitting the right there they had a release out there out lighting outlining Joseph Biden plans for the week. And it showed in traveling to Providence. In misspelled. Rhode Island him for campaign event. The vice president will visit Boston and Manchester, New Hampshire on the same day they didn't misspelled. Those states updated schedules and by the white house on Monday night noted the corrects spelling of the state. Just tell us about the competence. Of the current administration. Well not as bad as a group newsprint the F word of a sports. That just came over you and I don't although I. Okay I don't want our I don't like many apologized for that and I noted an apology for what after a certain talk show host who brought it to the public. Like and then another talk show host thanks to you brought the national national audit wasn't what happened what the bigger for what was or did you. You know as I know it's just unfortunate I perhaps I'm just an unfortunate mistake four letters actually currently. But mistakes three before mistakes all of the same sorts. Sorry I'm his tag in their great senior I don't nurtured Jerusalem and let and are complaining about teasing each topics native middle like Jesus for the next to execute it was a moment. But I'm gonna make that text or even more intro what's coming up on this morning's exciting addition. Of the my like most of the extra two minutes of the joked I don't know how to do it's going to be action packed I'll tell you that about Tim Tebow again getting slammed this time by Brady Quinn wanted to have another quarterback. Says that the humility that Tim Tebow exercises is false he doesn't see it what he's listed goodness why why Christians unlike. What did you jealousy you know one what about Rick santorum's and it 68 feet and America and that's going to be a big part of that because and have a lot to say about Angie people should just get all wee weed up over two widely quoted why liberals afraid of exact examining well the battle between good and evil in this Maine you're gonna cover this now I know how much you respect resided confront Green about. Franklin Graham. Says that Mitt Romney is not a Christian. And that's can be tough because and just how are you gonna handle it thinking I don't think Romney has been on your program everybody else as. But for some reason Romney I heard you talking Wendy's that you list will Romney there's a lot of shows he won't do a lot ever popular shows there's some shows he'll do Hannity show but he won't he really there's a lot of talk radio host if he if he feels if his people I think feel there's been any criticism whatsoever about either him or his. Relief Mormon is he won't come this and do you think he as a consultant how you gonna fix the white house press corps. Good luck because they're gonna come right there already set in their religion in this got that the guy from the New York Times Frank Rich on a campaign to say. To expose Mormon ism for what it is he says I mean when Christians were mainstream Christians learn more about Mormon is a little they get nervous about you know the way mormons in this audience who get very upset but Franklin Graham said on morning Joseph. That He said he likes Mitt Romney then added no he's a Mormon well that's what and I talked many times a pastor Robert Jefferson Dallas big church in Dallas has Mormon is it was a cult. He's elevated and that kind of away by the way there's your question but the and the last Franklin Graham who's giving my calendar shows. Bottoming bottoming last doctor Graham what reverend Graham what he thinks about. About the backlash over his come that's going to be I think in the 11 o'clock or not exactly sure portrait that he was would be best argument if I 49 coming up on 856. All three minutes away real time traffic and weather update just time enough to talk when Dustin in Spartanburg hi Dustin. This one of the that answered the question and informative and christianity. You know. They probably teaching curse. That's what makes accretion. So anyway any Christians personally called herself a Christian. But this credits and other people. Other evidence that her name are believed him that there are part of this story and call and I'm not Christian they're ignorant are you a Mormon. No started it. Well Mormon theology teaches that god is only one of countless. Game. It got to be a man on another planet. It doesn't it doesn't specify that. It does teach that I I have it right here in front of question hours have just is why isn't the holy Bible enough. Because like the Mormon books business. How can you suppose that God's word has only been spoken to one group of people. I resent people all over the world and he's spoken their work is. Work at but the Bible is Why aren't you why would you need to add to it in in the in the Christian thing Smart why would you need at two. If you read the book of Mormon it really doesn't add to it it's says that I. I don't know I don't know it does not think just I have to leave there just not accurate. Anyway it's not about. When I think or anybody else thinks what we're talking about reverend Franklin Graham. And do you find this all over the place this morning I've found is news dot com. The reverend Franklin Graham says presidential candidate candidate Mitt Romney is not a Christian. Appearing on MSNBC's morning Joseph show Graham was asked. Whether Romney is a Christian Graham said he likes Romney but added quote he's a Mormon. In quote when one of the hosts suggested that Romney still is part of the Judeo Christian faith. Reverend Graham responded quote most Christians would not recognize mormons. As part of a Christian faith under saying that most Christians. Would not recognize mormonism. Of course they believe in Jesus Christ they believe in a lot of other things too. That we don't accept logically. Graham went on to say that he would not have any issue with Romney becoming president. Quote he would be a good president if he won the nomination because I think he's got the strength business wise. Politics wise he's a sharp guy and he's proven himself. But they respected evangelist noted that former senator Rick Santorum. Is the one candidate who shares his beliefs more than the others quote I would say on moral issues no question Rick Santorum. He's a very sharp guy as far as his Christian faith being more in line but all of them or when it comes to policy and running the country. You've got to have a person. Make good decisions that are best for all of us and I think all the candidates that are running are capable also praised Newt Gingrich. Quote now new it's been married several times those issues but he could make a good candidate and I think Newt is a Christian at least he told me he has. So there you go for continued this in the next Franklin Graham said a lot more to it including about Barack Obama. Up big time 859.

    Audio

    Wed, 22 Feb 2012

    Almost six past seven only three minutes away from the net traffic and weather update so glad to be with you Ingles advantage talk lines. Q3 29673. Spartanburg 5749673. These come out text line 71307. Mike email @entercom.com. Ericsson greater. Good morning. Your other did you just dust it kept a lot of impersonate. Or an officer a fire fire. He's. Red Cross barber and or Rachel present it. Yeah in that in that fox report that the IR forget who was common in there about this case before the Supreme Court. But yeah that's that was in the report. Well Pakistan's like Natasha popped out talking about Fox News I think afford. How fortunate for speech and the guys protected however. And blind according to the judge is protected what about if somebody is. The courtroom did you guys put their hand on the Bible and to tell the nothing but the truth I think they call that perjury. I agree I do that that. Pot but they need added the military personnel to this last other side personnel. Well I have they have they pass the stolen valor act in and it's it's now being challenged on the quote quote everybody lies defense. Out right. Of course and in the US ninth circuit agree No big deal. But apparently it's a big deal do you. Deficit as a supply issue that this that that introductory court. well met this person hasn't ruled on yet they're good they're gonna take up the case today what surprises me. Is we talked about this a lot in the first hour and there was very little response which leads me to the question. Does anybody really care about these sort of things anymore about line. Like about your military service lying you don't job resume lying in general. Unfortunately I think because. The got everything ready nowadays. It ought to think twice more. Interesting thank you Mary cures that report he was talking about Xavier Alvarez lied about serving in the Marines and earning a congressional medal of honor but he's challenging the constitutionality. Of the stolen valor act. It's against the law to impersonate a member of congress a farmer and a policeman a four H club representative at a Red Cross Red Cross worker. Joseph Davis with the veterans of foreign wars argues the First Amendment should not give a free pass the lying about military service but Christina wells a law professor the University of Missouri argues Alvarez is lie is no different in any other embellishment. If you find somebody has underestimate fired them. And Washington Jared Fox News radio they come out of my text line 71307. Russell lying is not okay people who lie about military service and award should be sent into Afghanistan to prove their statements. Russell the Bible says about lying said that's Jeff Inman and this when they are to give discuss five minutes at room with a real medal of honor winner. And see if he still feels like lying about it hops seven or not. Sorry seventeen and so the Supreme Court. Is gonna decide this they take up the case today. Concerning the stolen valor act which was passed by congress back in 2006. Which triggered a crime to falsely claim a military honor. And this Xavier Alvarez. Who just lied through his teeth. He was convicted and find 5000 dollars. But. He appealed it. use the everybody realized defense and and not surprisingly that one at the US ninth circuit. Of appeals which struck down the stolen valor act. On the grounds of free speech to one vote. The chief judge up there and he wonderful ninth circuit the most liberal in the country Alex Kaczynski. Said that if the government's quote truth police can go after people for the white lies exaggerations and deceptions. That or an integral part of human intercourse. Then that would be quote quote terrifying. So it's going to be before the court to be real busy they've got obamacare course they've decided to take of this reverse. Affirmative action case more about that a second Steve's and union high state. I've got a question for you if you lie to the as just the just slow court this important right now. What with dear to you are. Right. Are you did should be in and sequester would lie about being the judge. Where did you throw you under the jail just like you had lied about being a police officer. Well it. That's perjury is this record justice. Should Obama be impeached because very OO o'clock built all these city mobile constitution. And it has not done that. Say there's so many things here I got this is since you mentioned Obama listen to this state this text message. What about Obama stating that my father quote from the book who served in World War II was treated with respect when he returned home. father would have been nine at the end of World War II. Yeah. Talked about learning. Low so this is so weird so or The highest court in the land now. Is going to decide. I think a very thought provoking question whether lying is protected by free speech is surely is for politicians. Like how do you know what a politician is lying isn't public. And they while the two minutes protected free speech they claim under the First Amendment so. Who. We have talked about this before it's interesting that there's also is gonna become gonna go before the Supreme Court. They will once again confront the issue of race. In deciding whether or not somebody gets into a university. You heard about this I'm sure his case brought by a white student who was denied a spot. At the University of Texas. The court said on Tuesday it will return to the issue of affirmative action in higher education. For the first time since 2003. Now back 03 they decided. That you can't use race as a factor in admissions but this time around. It's a different court. And they're being asked to outlaw the use of Texas. Texas is an affirmative action plan. And possibly. To jettison the earlier ruling ruling entirely ruling in favor of this student Abigail Fisher. Could threaten affirmative action programs that many of the nation's public and private universities. According to Vanderbilt university law professor Brian Fitzpatrick a federal appeals court. Uphold the Texas program saying it was allowed under the high court's decision. In a case broader beat bold and her back in 03 that upheld. Racial considerations at university admissions at the University of Michigan Law School. The Texas case is going to be argued in the fall probably in the final days of the presidential election campaign and the The change the makeup of the court. Many are saying could mean a different outcome for one thing you got Sam Alito. Who is not a big fan of affirmative action. And much more against it than his predecessor Sandra Day O'Connor got a Lindsey Graham's favorite in any Kagan. Who might. Be expected to vote with the court. In support of it but. Apparently she's not gonna she's gonna recuse yourself. Because she was a solicitor general when this case came up before. We have talked about this before and to me is just crazy. The thought of this but let's talk about and again the words. To put this in the simplest form. Do people honestly believe it's okay to discriminate against somebody based on skin color. In an effort to rectify. Past It's always seemed odd to me. So you can discriminate. To somehow. Solve the problem. Of discrimination. There. And it's freshening that this has come full circle now and if so this is a white student who apparently had all the grades all the right scores and everything. Who couldn't get into the University of Texas. She's claiming because of affirmative action programs have allowed. Someone else to get and who wasn't quite as qualified. Most inner freshman detectors are admitted because they're among the top 10% of their high school class the Texas policy. Applies to the remaining spots and allows for the consideration of race along with other factors and. Anybody that thinks that is fear or right. I'm sorry I think they're just it's. What ever happened to just letting me we are in 2012. Why the world can't we just let everybody. I mean we clearly won any quality. So why can't we just let everybody stand on their O'Meara. A good example before you know Jesse Jackson to talk about this from the reverend Jackson. so proud. If you were sitting here right now I've said this before it I would ask him. reverend Jackson about affirmative action in the NFL. Would that be a good thing. No of course not because in sports. You don't get to play the most qualified the most talented man that's who gets to play. Why can't be like dad. If you apply missile theory of affirmative action to the courage to NFL where dad probably look a little different wouldn't it. The at least on the field pick any major sport. So I hope the Supreme Court look two days ago you know what this this is got way out of hand. Whatever purpose it served has been served enough of this already. Your thoughts are welcome David using Gaffney David. As they are really sad story here are quick shout. It's not up around Shelby. And now. They The American Legion World Series there this year. And I was invited to that the banquet where. National leaders where they the mayor the lieutenant governor right away they they had eight. Idea. A water there it was not something year old right ex marine. The he would jima at all current war now from that come out. He's been doing this for twenty years not a real marine. Also we just made it all law. Oh yeah many somebody in his hometown of Washington State. Was interest in India baseball tournaments and found out. Against a modern air gonna go he can you can give workers were under article about it. Not even a written everything and work that would never memories. While so it's like this case that's in The Herald journal this morning. But this guy from ball boarding spring Jordan's Jordan lip Lander who last year at the 9/11 memorial service over Wofford. Made it all up about being a member of the New York City firefighters and being. Yeah but but the worst thing about this if he's been doing it twenty year on The American Legion and back. And gotten away with it that's. Should people be able to get away with it. I guess the supreme court's gonna decide when it comes to military service thank you David 790. Less than a decade after upholding affirmative action the Supreme Court is again that they hear arguments about whether or not colleges and universities can factor race in their admissions policies. The case and from a challenge from a white student spot at the University of Texas. The court's current make up it's different in the court dead in 54 ruling in 2003. Are you racial diversity in higher education is a compelling state interest. In Washington Jared Fox News radio. What compelling state interest passed the Supreme Court. Is gonna take up. Reverse a permit over reverse racial discrimination as it you know concerns affirmative action. And the Supreme Court also taking up the case. Conserving stolen valor act deciding whether or not. It's okay to lie about your military service and your medals here's a text that ties the two together rushed. Maybe this student in taxes should have just lied about her race. What would accord during this Reid is on a cell phone I read. Perez yeah that was exactly what I was so they should get a lot about it. And filled out the application and said that she was black. Now and we're all out Obama has the same way it is that looks like that's partly nobody has black right to do it right. The other thing is on this outlying. If you decide that lying you basically put blue ball. Below based on true. And Egypt Germany is true then. You are open you can have that verdict really coursing courts every day they try to get to the truth they don't always and that's where. You know beyond a reasonable doubt you know factors it but it's your right it's always about seeking the truth. The real question is is it important to America as a country and able. Yes I'm an interesting thing to read sometime that the northwest ordinance I think 1787. And see what the government had to say about how that area was to be. Apportioned and stay married and what the government's role was. And one of the things that the founding fathers.

Now some of the email here's an interesting one. If you're just joining us supreme court's gonna take up a challenge to be stolen valor act of 2006. It's all about a case to get guy named Xavier Alvarez. And I made about being a medal of honor winner. And about serving in the military. And he was convicted. He was fine 5000 dollars. Any appealed to the US ninth circuit and of course most liberal bench in the country said yep the everybody lies defense applies here 'cause it's free speech. And is courts also gonna take up. I think what will be a fascinating case about reverse. Racial discrimination. Concerning affirmative action but I get this email Nobody cares about the lies. Because nobody was hurt too. Dickerson Jim and easily religion you honestly believe that so let's put to the test. If you're somebody out there lying let's say about their military service and about a bunch of medals or going out there making speeches and putting a job resonant. Don't think anybody's hurt you think you don't think those who served the country. Are hurt. I it diminishes the significance. Of their sacrifice. You know I mean today I think it he had apparently Joseph doesn't believe that. Its interest in this email from Susan liar liar pants on fire that's all I can say it's sad. But lying is commonplace. In our society now. So this comes as no surprise we've got Obama Nancy Pelosi Bill Clinton and most every other liberals spinning the truth to suit their situation. Is this not what soul in ski preaches in the liberals Bible rules for radicals. That by the way is dedicated to the first radical and master of deception. Lucifer. God's light of truth don't shine through all of the holes in the lives of men. That comes from Susan quickly to John in hi Didn't Acted like this same boat people who were in Vietnam War about Iraq or Afghanistan. We you're really usually talk about it. How I was in the air force during the Vietnam War although I'll never Vietnam right. Then how many people walk around lap about being in Vietnam. Much time where the guy who is line about being in Vietnam yeah not son served in Iraq would range. He never talks about it and Barbara mentioned it to somebody gives them there. The people who live there doing your job you'll never hear bragging about. That he's been my experience to any time I talked with veterans most of them I might local served in Korea and very rarely did he ever wanna talk about. You know just just chat you know they'll sign you know what you're glad it is out most. Well. No doubt glad about being in the military how exports that he's bragging about it. Our John thank you very much agree or disagree Ingles advantage talk lines wide open for you to 329673. In Greenbelt. Spartanburg 5749673739. The justices agreed to take a second look at university using race in the admissions process the High Court upheld affirmative action and a landmark 2003 case but this fall the court will hear arguments in in new case this way involving a white student denied a spot at the University of Texas setting up the possibility affirmative action could be banned. Separately the Supreme Court is refusing to expand Miranda rights. Ruling inmates already in jail do not need to be told them the right to remain silent before being questioned. In Washington Jared Halpern Fox News radio 746. not open text line 71307. I had two children. That didn't get into Clemson for the same reason one had a three point 89 GPA the other a three point 17. At three point 75 GPA. Ross the real question is how much longer do we have to help inferior students of some races to make up for the past. Yet that is the only course surprises me. Usually by now we would have had some liberal Call up or said the tech story though trying to defend affirmative action here in 2012. It's fascinating that that hasn't happened Freeport also hearing a challenge to be stolen valor act basically they're gonna decide. Weather is someone lies about their military service or military honors whether that's protected. By free speech Jim is on a cell phone I Jeff. I Prado or. Arm you know last night that the FDA Tom Crabtree got there a last site we're. You're sponsored or thought about a guy. Didn't winning or are Spartanburg it's not my award ceremony in it and told everybody that he had been in not a Letterman that he was. we're talking about earlier that are out there are actually was in saying of that yet Joseph Jordan lift slanderous is named Lowe's opened Boiling Springs and admitted that he lied all about it. Yeah I ordered him or give an idea we talked to literally so that's another case of line. This is an 8911 memorial service last year. Over give stadium in Spartanburg. Are less than a minute in Spartanburg hi Shannon. In order route When the soldiers. They've recently been apparent. They received. Yeah yeah. In other words like is he get in paid for his Though not not BA but while wounded warrior. Yeah I don't know but and it brings have a great question if you lie about that in new basically defraud. Some of the organizations. Certainly yet trying to help veterans. You know we is that across. Well certainly it would be a crime that he doesn't have the proper proper documentation. To have gotten that far with at 749. Only three minutes away from traffic and weather day so let's hurry here. Bottom. Of course the most important thing that the supreme court's gonna take up here is the whole thing of obamacare and folks. Just what do you think. It can't get any more laughable. The latest revelation about obamacare. Concerns vending machines there's another mandate. About vending machines you know when you go into work You're at the doctor whatever. The present to a Billick Andy will stop at a vending machine believe it not obamacare. Is going to affect the vending machines that you love so much details on that coming up in the next hour we finally heard from a liberal. This is from of course Asheville. Don't start that black and white crap. I know plenty of white people who got their job just because they were white don't get me started. Really. I'd love to one of those stories. must be okay to lie I don't know what the court's gonna decide Obama says we can lie won't we vote because we don't have to show ID. Thanks to his sidekick Eric fast and furious holder. Absolutely isn't illegal. To lie about being a policeman yes. Our mailman yes or federal agent or impersonation of an officer is illegal soldiers get paid by the federal government. So. Does that not not not not make them federal employees and agents should it be illegal to impersonate a soldier I think so I think I am so it. Normally we about how far we will allow this to for example some lies to you on FaceBook. Because they want to meet you and they say they're single and they're not it can we really control. Someone's behavior when it comes to to something will be answer is no we can't control it but we can have consequences for. Because that could easily turn into. You know I'm a sex offender or rapists. And somebody ask your question no no no no that's not me and understandably. Comes down to basically. Is whether it's okay to lie. And once again I was sliding around aspirin well of course with the in my books is. The greatest legislation ever the ten commandments can. I think. Somebody help me here I'm not a biblical scholar I don't think they make exceptions in the Big Ten. Do today. Pastor could enlighten me how Better and ultimately it's old and not good but just a little white lie. It's it's a little white that OK there's beer involved with so. We'll see what the Supreme Court does with this in this affirmative action case coming up again in the next hour. The court's gonna take up obamacare. Way to hear the latest on that its straight ahead in the meantime up big time 759.

    higher education found at 6:29, 12:36

    The court said on Tuesday it will return to the issue of affirmative action in higher education . For the first time since 2003. Now back -- 03 they decided. That you can't use race as a factor in admissions but this time around. It's a different court. And they're being asked to outlaw the use of Texas. Texas is an affirmative action plan. And possibly. To jettison the earlier ruling ruling entirely -- ruling in favor of this student Abigail Fisher. Could threaten affirmative action programs that many of the nation's public and private universities. According to Vanderbilt university law professor Brian Fitzpatrick a federal appeals court.
    Less than a decade after upholding affirmative action the Supreme Court is again that they hear arguments about whether or not colleges and universities can factor race in their admissions policies. The case and -- from a challenge from a white student -- spot at the University of Texas. The court's current make up it's different in the court dead in 54 ruling in 2003. Are you racial diversity in higher education is a compelling state interest. In Washington Jared -- Fox News radio. What compelling state interest passed the Supreme Court.

Is wrong about well when you are and a bunker and point Calista Flockhart. Hello my word. Column anyway 670. Okay weird story that ties into another story. This morning on the front page of the Spartanburg herald journal website. We get a story about a Boiling Springs man who now admits that he lied did. About working with the New York fire department and and he he talked about that during a 9/11. Ceremonial memorial last year over stadium at Waugh very emotional. Sobering I John stay low level and as uniform. Just about it that is just got an amendment. His name is Jordan lift slander. And Lynn Shackelford is the reporter and her withdrawal if he admitted yesterday after being questioned several times about this. That he made it all up he fabricated. An elaborate heroic tale. told thousands who were gathered last year during Spartanburg county's 9/11 more memorial service. What happened was current and former new York city fire far to the firefighters started emailing. And calling The Herald journal saying that this story that that that he served as a captain. For latter won 33 on 9/11. Was a And yeah he was dressed in uniform with an FDNY patch he was one of the speakers at the service. He said dad what he remembered most from the event after the terror attacks was attending quote 47 funerals in three weeks for Brothers who died that day. And this story gates gets even weirder because Spartanburg county sheriff chuck Wright. A guy that I like straight shooter. Actually recommended him to this baker. So bring up this whole thing about lying in public and it actually ties in to something. That is going to go before the Supreme Court. We've we've got to talk about it what about people who make all this stuff up and what should happen to them. Comment on that or anything else 619. Coming up on 626. Started playing I am the walrus future. kind of warning and it all okay this religion measuring. Instant response vehicles these power metal back text line 7130701. Got to traffic thing here. FYI patchy sometimes heavy fog on I 26 starting at Newbury and getting thicker. As I'd way so be careful out there piracy Bristol criticizing people who in public. Then Obama is really. Hit it should be in trouble. In this is your every people who lie. There's a case going before the Supreme Court that about people who lie about their military service but there's a local time here. So he got this guy Joseph lift losing Boiling Springs. Who just made it all last year than nine elevenths ceremony over give stadium Wofford in Spartanburg. And Spartanburg county sheriff chuck Wright. Recommended him as a speaker quote we didn't check his background because we didn't need true. We didn't have to fly him and he lived here someone with a fire department story. He said at the time. Here's the story made up that he was supposed to be off on 9/11 but responded when 133 got a call he claimed he retired as a captain. Of the New York part apartment latter won 33. Got a standing ovation. Well it kind of hit the fan when frank Dwyer with the FB NY press office. I confirmed that no one named Jordan lift Lander had ever served in the city's fire department so. The Herald journal called him up initially he said the situation was a misunderstanding that he had been misrepresented. By New York firewire of fighters who caught wind of the story journal had a misprint in the story. What he was pressed for deet tails he admitted that he never worked for the New York City Fire Department still claims. Claims he served as a volunteer firefighter in another department a New York. He's still stands by claims that he volunteered. During the 9/11 recovery effort. Quote at this point I'm trying to get out of the situation I got caught up in the moment I wanted to represent what everybody was honoring that today. I told it from a New Yorkers point of view. Denny said he made stay committed mistakes of the story didn't hurt anyone I have a family and I have to do what I can to protect them now I've lived here for five years ago church here. I have a small child. He admitted he answered calls from many New York City firefighters on Tuesday Huber who were furious about this. Quote I'm just trying to do what I can now to get out of the situation. So what about. People who get up there and just make it all went out. And then the tie into the national stories one about people who lie. About their military service. really any kind of service I mean this guy I was presenting himself as a as a firefighter. What about people who misrepresent themselves as police and you know law enforcement officers. And then people who it. Who make up military. Service I mean we've had stories about this for a while now this is going all the way to the Supreme Court. comments welcome stay tuned dug into the details on that as we get time here in the meantime time for an update 629636.

Open warm. Not even allowed to speak the troops or discussed the issue. To have a presidential campaigns are about and that's. In its indoors it's it's it's a lot stuff what's become a lot stop you know a nation such United States constitution. Founded principal looked upon apple appreciate and cannot. Proceed.

A few weeks ago about the contraception question but what happened about it and wonder orders not question government departments that the more out. Then made up issue. The Democrats are or this year so that they do not have to based the truth of the things they belief that don't. Now that George Stephanopoulos might have known what Obama was about to try to do through the HHS and Kathleen Sebelius and maybe he was just a few weeks ahead of the story. Well but if you write about it it is and people lie. I mean they they every day and others that little white lie there's the big lie but it's still a And what is just the spotlight when not to go to next you're content that you you can tell that a lot better at that it today. a lot but.

Ross is alive for personal gain called fraud. Yes. So but he says the damage was Evelyn was hurt and now us. Well then tell me does a lot damages or not is irrelevant. But this story it is art literature about this case that this the supreme court's gonna take up the case this morning a big savior Al Boris. They're gonna decide whether the First Amendment protects not just of freedom of speech but a right to lie about military dollars stories in the LA times. Exit here Alvarez. Told playing hockey for the Detroit Red Wings. Marrying a Mexican starlet. Piloting a helicopter in Vietnam and suffering gunshot wounds while rescuing the American ambassador during the Iran hostage crisis. All were lies. So we got into legal trouble when he stood up and all of at a board meeting Pomona California in 2007. And describes himself as a retired marine who had received the medal bomber. He joined a number of men who lied about their military service and claimed metals that they did not win. More than author of who's who profiles that listed top military honors. Could not be confirmed through military records a Chicago Tribune investigation found. Back in 2008. So congress enacted the stolen valor act back in 06 to make it a crime. To falsely claim a military honor and Alvarez guy once he was exposed was convicted and find 5000 dollars. Now that enough. Course it was appealed and the supreme court's gonna take it up comments Xavier Alvarez lied about serving in the Marines and earning a congressional medal of honor but he is challenging the constitutionality. Of the stolen valor act. It's against the law the person made a member of congress armored police and four H club representatives and a Red Cross Red Cross worker. Joseph Davis with the veterans of foreign wars argues the First Amendment should not give a free pass the lying about military service but Christina wells a law professor at the University of Missouri argues Alvarez is a lie is no different than any other embellishment. You find somebody lied and threatening to fire them and Washington Karen how Fox News radio. You know anything. About this when it comes to line OK if you under court of law you put your hand on the Bible and you were to do one. Tell the truth all truth and nothing but somehow and the pitcher is perjury last night but yet you can just law. Line line line lines. You know political commercial death protected free snatch that is correct however if you lie and you call and you know I was kidnapped and that is a line and you can try to sort of So what are when you lie about military service like this Joker room Boiling Springs who lied about working for the out. Part of barber and open New York during 9/11. But Alvarez guy he used the everyone lies defense. And here's the thing it more and at the US ninth circuit of of of appeals which is the most liberal you don't mention in the country. They strut down the stolen valor act that was passed back in 2006. By congress. Based on free speech runs on two to one vote. If you look back at that case the LA times reports it would be quote quote terrifying said chief judge Alex Kaczynski. If the government's truth police could go after people for the quote white lies exaggerations and deceptions. That are an integral part. Of human intercourse. Now what's the Supreme gonna do LA times says their. The court is less likely to extend leniency. To people who claim credit for honors they didn't win. Now the justices. Have not ruled before that knowingly false statements are protected. By the First Amendment so they haven't ruled it so. What discord is gonna do it. Am astounded at. I thought as a talk show topic when I throughout people lie and about for example this guy mind getting up medal of honor are serving in the military would like death. I thought these phone lines would be covered I would I would and from this first hour the only thing can conclude is people really don't care about shall not like they just don't want to address so the everyone lies defense that one of the US ninth circuit you think is the prevailing opinion in this on. I think that. That people admits people will admit to lying on an almost daily fast so it didn't matter. It does matter if you lie about your military matters very very much absolutely apple apparently aren't well he's not supposed to bear false witness I think that's one of a bit when you think they're still managed to But I think I have accord can look at protected speech in a political commercial that is just allies. And then really throw the book of this guy from. Because he's arguing it the US ninth circuit held. You know now that it's protected free speech all right we'll move on 659.

You people realize what the constitution is anymore. Do we still have. A constitution. Today is today we commemorate the shining government. 39. Brave. Wise. Incredibly intelligent men. Met on this day in 1787. To recognize. I mean freedom and in individual liberty and put it down in a document. That is still today. Well let me say this more relevant today then I think it's ever been but had been do we still have. -- constitution few thoughts on that coming up at 610 Randy in Jonesboro. High.

How credible was that what we want currently in order to get there -- thirteen operating Asia. We were United States they're thirteen sovereign nation and -- thirteen. Nation. Still that constitution. That made it the greatest power the world let under thirty years from signing.

So our integrity. -- sovereignty. Is such an incredible word. You know it really is in and it's it in it's quite frankly it's forgotten a lot these days Randy.

taught in schools unfortunately.

Yeah a matter of fact empathy since you look at two of the snapshot we have today here on the September 17 2009. And you would think Ted that there is no sovereignty it anymore.

Thirteen and our nation that signed their entire -- he'll wait like they did they knew it was gonna end here. I think not.

Well I I I just wonder why the tenth amendment was tenth. Well I think there'll lot of other important amendments in the bill of rights but the tenth amendment is the epitome. Of a sovereign it expresses what what sovereignty is all about. But thanks thanks for your comment Randy about I'd love to chat with anybody and everybody about the constitution today. There's quite frankly hasn't talked about and off. I just wonder how many people right now on the road early in the morning don't want him because he talked about constitution.

Not wanna talk about the constitution every wonderful talking Wilmington and schools -- what exactly exactly.

From eleven to shoot down at -- senior senator. And just to celebrate the constitution that's fine but my god do do we not do things on the day they're supposed to -- don't anymore.

Right 64642. 7 o'clock news radio WORD. Obama still seven to go back to -- inquiries from a previous caller. And I went to the Gaffney ledger website and they they do something interesting that they do have a story about this flag flap yesterday. But they only have first paragraph because they have they have apparently a policy. They do not post the full story on their web site. And tool. A week after it happens. Which it is an interesting policy. It's a small versions of news stories from the current week are available to online subscribers only access to full versions of new stories from issues older than a week. But anyway it's written by guy and intend gullah there they -- Gaffney ledger staff writer. And Italy has the first -- Earl says she was taken -- Tuesday morning Earl says she only wanted to honor the sacrifice. Of lance corporal Chris folks. By lining Wes Floyd baker boulevard with United States flags and apparently. That that's -- gonna give you on the web site.

Well that's all that is given on on anything that I have found I I have heard.

That the business -- on the boulevard -- all receptive except this one the.

And we are told as the last caller suggested it was a bank I do not know what banks are located there on our plummeted like baker believe on anybody that. That is in that area who has a copy. It's because we're here in the studio. We're not in Gaffney so if you if you have a copy of the Gaffney ledger. And you would like to share with us what it says about this flag I'd love to hear it again this because it doesn't reflect how -- and why -- why would one stupid bank if it was advanced. Do you add on on such a solemn and somber day well now we're bringing home one of 11 of our -- journal says that someone at that. Location. Told them that corporate headquarters did not allow any flags to be displayed on -- analyst at -- what zero journal say about it then that's -- stats. That doesn't mention the bank says is a story in The Herald journal -- that says that someone was visibly upset after being told that one of the corporate headquarters. Did not allow any flags to be displayed corporate -- of what. That's all it sets us. On women friends and it's strange mystery -- let me go to whips -- where we're did you find in auto update our goal of state that McCain marine's body comes hand today. This one was yesterday when she read and it says the businesses on the boulevard were all receptive except one. Visibly upset after being told that one of the corporate headquarters did not allow any flags to be displayed. On the premise that's crystal that's coming home look what he's done for us I think this is believed weakening due acknowledging his life. That sets so it must be my friend and her own peace or must be now it's an article. It's an article -- marine's body so there's an article.

Saying it's the least we can do. -- abandoned telecommuters Brenda girls says is the least withheld and -- sometimes. -- so anyway if anybody has a hard copy but this sounds so strange I'm sorry we're so limited in our coverage but if anybody has a hard copy. Of the Gaffney ledger this morning -- share that with us you grab a line if someone moves on. The number that case would be 574 WORD 5749673. In May -- we get the story here Richard is in Duncan hi Richard.

Yeah ordered Russia ought to say after all the -- thank god our men and women in the military.

No -- for in these stupid I don't care who they're corporate headquarter is that that I mean. Bliss before the end of the show today to find out who this businesses.

You never can help them by the New York I'm gonna play that's why quick buyback right.

Well why -- one I just want somebody to share with us -- in the Gaffney ledger -- and they don't have -- on their website that is have a first paragraph. But wouldn't you like to know who this businesses.

Oh yeah are you don't want to Mexican quick comment about Joe Wilson and -- that's been -- I've been vacant for -- couple days now we are. Except the -- Carl -- Joe Wilson IE -- appreciated him. Taken heat for Colin the president a liar because that it wanted to -- about. I'm months now and not part you don't know billion billion general -- Our constitution then coming to our competition trampled every day and if they -- try to contain myself up there would expect that go on all I'm wondering.

Richard I'm thinkin' you know if if you or me were up there we would be. Resolution of disapproval. Aren't you would be that they they would have to write they -- and pass a resolution of disapproval for me every day.

Yeah people -- on location older. And I.

by the way I'm glad you brought this up because there there're stories. The Wall Street Journal wrote about this couple days ago. At a preschool fact checking the president on health insurance and the president didn't lie he lie he he he is a walking talking lie. And their stories there were one on fox Wall Street Journal. -- red state dot com Barack Obama didn't lie in his speech because yeah they got the facts wrong. About one of these tear Jerker stories he is a walking talking deception and we'll get into that as the morning goes along with the Clark got us now Richard thank you 651. -- quickly let's jump up to Gaffney marshals with a -- Marshall.

Hey I don't has more road. I was asking about the black on -- yes. You know generate this article. I read it and it was bought by Bank of America -- biker.

Like baker goals are and what do what is the article say what did they actually do.

What they hear or as she put the flags out and when she got which usually turned into her car. -- Somebody a bike officials said that it was corporate policy -- like not debate alone black battle on public on their property. I -- somebody else put blacked out you know that its corporate policy. But -- went on display that they tell somebody at corporate headquarters. And I can't remember the ladies night but she says dad evidently there was a misunderstanding. And that there were sorry that that happened on such somber.

Yeah because I don't want this kind of publicity you know Bank of America. Isn't that ironic pass a policy where they would know what allow lady when every other business in Gaffney. Allowed people to put American flags up to honor this. Fallen marine. And they would haul and I that should I can't tell you how much that just ticks me off.

Yeah I'm not letting you know it closed. That would result of one day he had problems with --

don't know what it meant something apart -- at Marshall thank you for the update I appreciate it very much hope we can. 659.

it gets more and more true every day -- fellow mobsters a six and a half minutes past 7 o'clock. On today as constitution they wanna talk about that I wanna talk about this Max Baucus bill we got all kinds of things going on Jim dement is weighed in. On the Max Baucus. Press conference yesterday and corset ties in the constitution -- because most of the bills I've seen concerning health care are unconstitutional. And I'll share with you something about that but first this is just this is just hit made the wrong way. And there's there's little out their about it except through you weakened again have a great example. A first and reporting well sort of first and reporting. Unless we're able to have to actually get in time contact I know a lot of you were moved as as I was yesterday. To watch round. One of --

Heroes. Come home for the final time. Twenty year old marine. Killed while serving in Afghanistan lance corporal. Christopher folks. Died September 10. At a military hospital over in Germany. He. Died from an explosion. In the Helmand Province. Light armored reconnaissance battalion marine division. Second marine expeditionary force. Based in Camp Lejeune Cherokee counties first member of the military. Be killed in action since Vietnam. And they -- a -- GSP. Hundreds lining the streets. Put up the interstate yesterday. And it was just it was an incredibly. Moving site. And it's been announced that the lance corporal folks for amber is gonna receive friends tonight at 6 PM. At the likely funeral home opened Gaffney in the memorial services. Will be held tomorrow at 4 PM is going to be -- at Frederick memorial gardens cemetery. And Cherokee county. Which is now -- listening Gary and other were on FM. Has declared that tomorrow. Will be. Lance corporal Crist for best -- day. And the counties asking for all citizens to observe a moment of silence. At 2 PM tomorrow and asking for flags to be flown at half staff. All day tomorrow and that's where this. Controversy comes.

Because it concerns a flag now. Here's right major help. All I can find -- line is the Gaffney ledger newspaper they have an article call flap over flags. Tim -- is we staff writer at the Gaffney ledger. And all that you can find is a lady named brand girls says she was taken -- Tuesday morning. She said she only wanted to honor the sacrifice. Of lance corporal Chris folks by lining Westwood baker boulevard with US flags. And then it is the on line and website. It says the full version of the story won't be available for a week. So I asked last hour for anybody who has a copy of the Gaffney ledger or knows -- Scherer with -- What is in this Gaffney ledger story so we got a call last hour. And a gentleman and said that he read -- that the the controversy was at the Bank of America. Now if you can share with us if you have a copy of that article may be even you know email or whatever or if you just wanna call. I'd love to hear what what the Gaffney ledger story says because this is just.

Outrageous. At a both places the Bank of America and today they're saying it's some kind of corporate policy. You can't put up -- to honor. I mean that's why say every day we get a little closer to being back in the US this anyway apparently they were the only business that gave -- girls any grief right so if you have any information about this. Any if you can share would discuss I don't have a hard copy of the Gaffney ledger. And nothing I can find online I would just love to hear the story because this is just. This is just outrageous. Outrageous. 17 -- Joe is in Gaffney hi Joe.

I wrote player regardless of the -- very well thanks. I just.

I won't buy America out I got papered at the same thing about I maybe wrong. A lot and don't open it up like. It happened yesterday ordered brought him. -- Like you look like -- came back out there very you go. -- are very corporate policy but I don't like England paper yet.

I might be -- exit number.

It's on -- on the web site at least the first couple of sentences of the story. So but it it seems to me that there is a full story out there somewhere but thank you Joe I appreciate that Dennis on a cell phone --

Everybody didn't think -- of happened between us and Bank of America and the last year. My wife and I have loot our mortgage we approached collegial -- Monday and I'm urging everybody to -- their checking killed the Bank of America today. They -- they do Telemar. Because this -- not Bank of America.

Well I wanna find out the details and I haven't they haven't they rescinded that saying. You know it was all mistakes that we are allowing the flag down.

They're also web site you need to call -- I -- Bank of America. And the re somewhat of the problem people that it.

Some might say yeah prince definitely are -- and who is also a news anchor. Has written me saying it was Bank of America and it it was because of corporate it ought Taylor was Amy whatever channel seven. So it was Bank of America they did remove the fives because of corporate issues. But we understand that several people closed accounts with them is continuing anger but all of a sudden Bank of America corporate. Decided it was you know just a mistake and they would allow -- well.

Wait a minute do they have a corporate policy or debate I don't get caught our last hour who said. That. Somebody at the Bank of America corporate office and it was it was some kind of misunderstood -- of their policy. Now listen let me I wanna be fair here yeah let me invite anybody if you work. From the Bank of America. Maybe you're a branch manager may view I don't know maybe you have more information about this if you work of the Bank of America in Gaffney. And you were there and you you you have some knowledge of this you have to give us your real name. I I would just like to know because. You know you can try to cover it over real quick but the bottom line is. Do you have a corporate policy -- like -- are not written and I just got to ask you mean real folks let's imagine if you worked for the bank of them. Okay. And I know jobs are -- and hang on to a job but let's just suppose. That you worked at the Bank of America. And somebody calls or maybe they didn't even call. Here you got. I mean here you've got one of the most. Somber scenes in all of America it makes you sad but it makes you proud at the same time here's this fallen marine.

Comin' down the street in his casket. With all the people gathered at a news it's it's Norman Rockwell and people waving their American flag I was watching this coverage -- I was so moved by it. Because there's no way it's not adequate for me to express. The deep heartfelt appreciation. I have for these. These brave. Human beings and make deal of sacrifice so you you know -- you you've seen the coverage. This marine is being escorted by Marines got all these people out there. Paying their there they're there. Respect. -- Lance corporal folks. And let's suppose you worked at the Bank of America and somebody said something. And you you were asked what order to go out there and remove. American flags what would you do.

Would -- your. Key -- and you are bad and would your job today -- has to go removing him -- I've had now. Now that I'm a are you kidding he island. Do you do you do -- you know let your play and with here. Do you do you want this to get out do you want gust of wind up being an article in the gap they let the U what do these talk shows to get a hold -- you've got to be in this and.

All right Teresa. Is next in Lawrence hi --

The American flag in all YE. A great. And glean any. I. Mean the people that was Barack can't I can't it was just let it. Why watching straight the -- They could be a -- And better chat because you are hanging the flag represented. And I I don't. --

What are -- the regulation of artists like that displaying the flag I said something interest. You put the flag and wrong place in the -- how can ever be a wrong placed the --

absolutely outside. Hey I you know. An outside trees ahead express strawberry in which you know kobasew has served our our our passion about what that flag represented the power should be wild horse -- that second -- You know I don't have first information about the bank America -- but you -- remember about 68 months ago that he was flying like in her off -- it's not Bancorp a bank. Somewhere intact and she looked inspired Robert job.

Right I I barely remember the story but a fire I think it was in Texas but I -- if I remember right. She raised such a stink about it. That they had they did allow horror after the attitude to -- put a flag back at her desk. But -- you had somebody some at a I think from another country or somebody who wanted to be from another country. It was -- that that was offended that this woman would put a flag. You know at her desk. But but not in Japanese south Carol tell me and ethnic South Carolina.

The only two -- well I guess that there -- of this country in all walks of life in all areas of this nation and its. People don't like that that we are up and make people aware that those people do exist and that those -- what we have to watch out for.

All right thank you very much and again I if you just and again I wanna offer a wanna be fair about this. If anybody who officially. Would like to respond from the Bank of America especially there in Gaffney. If you would like to concourse what they'll do if we vertical and they'll say well corporate entertainment corporate had to charter -- our parents parents. You know which which would be great for the news department to do this but I gotta tell you this. This just really each of all things. I mean it all of this this as the potential. As we find out more I mean it may it be that may be much ado about nothing I don't know. But if what we're hearing is true. If the Bank of America in Gaffney South Carolina wouldn't allow woman to display the American flag. To honor a fallen marine do you realize the national news potential and of course they won't cover -- they probably won't cover -- proceed. But we will 720 news radio WORD.

Mob Bob party now I do take responsibility obviously -- about the Shasta and I couldn't help right. I thought of the cheer. -- this would make a good sign you -- because mobsters like you know make their own signs. It on like the left and have manufactured anything you know they're they're gonna -- here here's a good for cheer or sign. Way to go Joe Bob has got to go way to go -- Skeptic so. Way to go Joe. -- got to -- but you know it's just something that popped into my head for -- the major ever suggest. That people actually show up hypocrisy -- 7:30 Monday morning in Spartanburg or. That's -- brokers a new Monday at the Oakwood road and you know but you -- listen these monsters. They've got a mind of their own you know they jump on bosses and go to Washington Bay Area. Commercial these people short the tea party news and a you know they've been short of the few town halls with congressman gloat about -- it I guess it's far. It was just ridiculous. I mean to suggest that anybody would. Oh lead early in ST Gator.

Pardon date in its T Gator meat. That not I'm just to talk show host who. One comes congressman closed called my boss well with the government trouble you're just pass along what a caller called I'm passed along and that's right. I don't know how I think its service I'm sure the congressman's office will call the corporate -- you want people to show up don't call it caller yeah. Well -- I guess you could say I'm trying to get him cry out. Because what would be the point of having you know little get together pompous and 7:30 on Monday morning in Spartanburg and and at noon at five rockers Woodruff wrote in Greenville on Monday what would be the point of having those gathered. It is thought you'd have big crowd that looked bad on on the nobody showed that nobody showed off that would be it would be. You know what are they deliberately timed this to come right after his vote against Joe Wilson. -- I gotta get back to this flag thing. 730 news radio WOR DX. Quickly to Tim fought a cell phone the morning fellow mobster.

Good morning. Got a little -- question. -- Not wrought iron into. Or outlook but you're going to want our reports are all well and -- here. Every time for another network and other arms. About how about not. Quite liar. And that's why -- could be. Well then I'll. -- a liar for -- dot footlocker and about how.

Well personal and -- that was not before I don't remember I I -- know when congressman clueless -- office called my boss. And we had that wonderful little conference call recently. You know we got into a conversation about this one on one and I said bull Bob you were mr. term limits. You went out there are you came home and then you were a lawyer for a little while. And then you're back -- keep my commitment noticeable though he said that I explained when I ran again. You know how I made a mistake -- term limits you know were mistaken. You know I'm fully explain myself on that I said died guarantee the average constituent out there. Doesn't think that way.

Lol I am an average to -- at -- time there are. --

We OK with that that must be a technical term thank you thank you -- How are exceptions for you quickly back to the phones patent in Greenville.

Good.

I operate. No one can see how well -- pop the -- it all. Maybe. Eight. Or a or -- battle. I would go over it -- Thank. You can't or no oil. Or. Not the it on.

You can't say stuff like that I know from our -- a conference call congressman closed very sensitive. He's well he's very sensitive menu key you can call -- sponge. You that couldn't be -- and should it stick with us for better and again that they can't we just have some decorum. Let's ask the court are are you -- and for a resolution of this comparable plan.

Hair out or --

Well you know I can't -- I'm not very good at predicting things but I -- I I don't know if it'll be a mob Bob party next Monday at Papa Simpson Spartanburg 7:30 AM hour. But Rutgers twelve noon in Greenville next Monday. But who's that who's to say that there won't be a mob ball park.

Well patient should be brought.

You think. All right thank you for that. On -- what does that on FaceBook somebody's already put my cheer on a short. Yeah our our buddy who does all our little. Photos he's gonna -- a pony tail on me in miniature you know which was -- and -- beat it beat them up on a sure way to go finally he doesn't need to shares that with me installation. Then if I give them permission -- enjoy it right now all you could -- doing right now given him permission to it'd be a porno you know I may go into the bumper sticker teacher business full time thinking because that that. Jim is on a cellphone hides him.

Can't wait to buy one of those -- just. -- and you I just this I've got a quick point and an analogy go -- to announce next week. I go over sixty years old which makes me under Obama's plan a member of walking yet.

You're pretty much done and -- maybe it's the grateful -- it thank you Jerry Garcia and it is via an aging member of the grateful. Grateful Trojan.

I have been so far and I I was privileged to the united states military during the Vietnam War and I didn't -- Clinton I proudly -- and I'm glad of that. -- But the point that I wanted to bring up would just simply was we -- At least two lawyers grant an -- and there robbing us of our right to representation. And a representative republic. And there -- Gregory degrees you know our political science. And law. The second one and I've gotten out yet so let I don't know watching television. And now my analogy is that's what they are -- camp camouflage garbage bags. You know they have hidden agendas that are hard he but it doesn't suffer from bank and represented.

And so -- you know listen a little bump lap dog but I I know congressman clueless as they sensitive man you're acquitting him to have. Garbage can come. Arguably John antennas about this flag flap in Gaffney hi John.

A -- of the ones thank you. Effectiveness -- focal -- of integrity on about a minute. -- honest with you -- Refusing to me to be little more quick on the holy book and then Obama trying. There's just but anyway that's not what all the talk about. Bank of America -- corporate policies. Are and there's this -- issue -- that is obviously under. My mom's. And now what breast cancer and yes I'm not going to veto but she was treated unjustly but Bank of America we just put it that way. Always greater buildings that she was treated unjustly. And so. The way out we have many of our corporate. Policies not all but a lot of our corporate policies and americorps. Are -- stand and unpatriotic. Because. Maybe American people or even more important than our our honorable symbol fluttered. And if you let the question of there. What would you do. It's somebody told C -- editor pick up an American player. Well a lot of people -- think about it what would you do if you were so you know if you're jobs. In Beirut and now there's going to be replaced. The Chinese worker.

Okay how. I'm a majority used measure called the bully button but unlike Bob I have to get to traffic and weather every ten minutes thank you John 753. Right 6 minutes past 8 o'clock that morning to you fellow mobsters all right. We just kind of looked out here earlier this morning. In talking about this very moving scene in Gaffney yesterday the remains of US marine lance corporal Chris folks.

Being paraded. In in Gaffney. Hundreds of people paying their respects to this true hero and patriot. Earlier this morning we had a caller to the program. Who ask about big controversy. If you sort of the coverage folks on TV you know it was it was it was America -- was a Norman Rockwell's style painting. All those folks lining that the roads in Gaffney. In those Marines. You know escorting the casket of lance corporal folks. And a lot of American flax. Is casket was draped in an American flag but people had their American flags and they were put them up. And we -- a call early this once there's a controversy as a whole apparently there was one business. A bank. In Gaffney. That did not allow awful things and did not allow. And in fact removed. American flags. That were being put there to honor lance corporal. Folks. So you know me I mean disgust of just irritates me. At the center of this is a lady named Brenda paroles. And she is called into our program to Phyllis and on the details the morning this girl's heart. Our -- start from the beginning tell me what happened.

Okay -- the I want to show my gratitude and support Tikrit and every. Grandparent clear across the street from me like now this young man that he was the toddler. The -- he had not the most beautiful smile that -- just military court and with that truck is a great wit about him. And so we. You can't divert -- thank you can't across the street spread to my -- that capacity and he was so proud I gave him five dollars. Well every week -- around he didn't brand that is not buckeye. Didn't you just have a third. When that they cannot expect they did that quite isn't what it a little change I had and that went on yeah you know like yeah. -- it was just a beautiful young man. -- and to -- and so my gratitude to scrambling. I played flag stick -- I had been given neighborhood on both sides of the road but I had quite a flag close the sidewalk not to be interest upon anyone. And I had walked -- the best political electric flag out. That's blocking act in my car what I noted there were no flag at the Bank of America. I thought I had just. Well what -- back to fight slide along the sidewalk in front the bank. And quickly to light because now her name is what printing plate device manager. Approached me and I cannot put that flag here. And then she informed me that my -- taken before -- flag -- And -- inside the bank and that it I want -- them I need to go and get them. She -- talking about American flag and she had. Any kind of -- At an American flag and -- that this is a financial institution it is not politics as Doug our customers might not appreciate it. Like voting yes I want in my -- back side winning in the bank. I didn't make an issue -- wouldn't. -- that we -- the flag. And I laughed and I never return back again.

Part -- can you can you hold on one quick second our hold on let's get an update it's 81011. And so witness is -- paroles from Gaffney who. As she has described. The new lance corporal Chris folks. All of his life. -- one year old Adam died in Germany for injuries suffered September 3 in Afghanistan. And his body escorted home. By hundreds of people in as a part of this. Brenda was. Paying her respects. By not only planting American flags and neighborhood you live right across street from Chris and his family. But they've decided to do that long Floyd -- boulevard in in Gaffney. And as you just heard to put some flags in front of the Bank of America there and was. Told by the manager that that was and allow her American flags. Put -- top honor. Lance corporal Chris folks. Taken up taken inside the bank. And as Brenda has told us that's not allowed here it might offend some of our customers. If you want your flags -- got to come and get them. Brenda let me ask you this. Have you heard anything from the Bank of America. Since this happened. But my guess it was yesterday.

Well I -- local newspaper had contacted their corporate office. And fact that they had it was thing misunderstanding. That dike they it would allow his lack that they support our troops and they would allow the flag -- And I noted that I'd written by last night if someone has played too small flag equipment like well what my flag. From somewhere else. But -- a participant but let your little ones and that's -- there would be no misunderstanding. Had to go inside the bank and retrieve my flag. I don't know what. What is believed to misunderstand. She told me it was Bangkok again I drove it other location. That morning in the morning time. The other location at Bank of America -- lines sound straight have a flag -- but there was no flag on the black.

They'll I won't be clear here the timeline. So. Worry your flags are errors. Chris is casket passed by. Yesterday.

I have no idea if they were still up it can't when.

I I don't know.

Do you actually thought about pirate finger remember you say. You put them up on Tuesday you were caring for the event on Wednesday and all of this that happened with the Bank of America happened on Tuesday correct. So that it is you do you don't know I don't know now whether or not your flag but then you -- or gotten your flags back right so we don't know whether any flags were in front of the Bank of America -- boulevard to honor -- folks.

I have no idea I have no idea. What's so amazing to me about this. The very name of the bank Bank of America. Could be insulting to many America haters in this in this country they're very name. Could prompt anger. Well I I find Bennett and Bernadette -- just take it just take a moment it tell me what's goin' through your mind right now about this.

You know this -- understand the sacrifices. At the bank grew up in an American. An all American family his grandfather. What a -- Marie. People it that he took over twenty something years and hammering it uncle what I'll vote in the Murray is that the gulf war. And that it looked at the conflict and they went Christopher decided to join the Marines. Meet the kids love the Marines it was all about your whole life with the marine. For in the heart but I feel they've been so approached. The abruptly but this. The lady. And and no compassion. Endemic though I'm sorry that herald that you know I just working there's nothing like that that was nothing. Indicate that -- That's partly so much to know that we capital company. That money -- some of the largest. Money's not a bailout money. Our tax dollars. And I couldn't quite a flag on our young man who and that an -- that merely young men and women who have served our country. And -- file for our country our freedom and the freedom that I had to have gotten that money. That would put him and could not do get and it it would failure -- some -- it was not on my part in the understanding what she told me. What she told me like it was their bank policy. And it would depend on --

But I am detecting from attitude that she did it -- attitude.

And then I think that was a partial part is you know you get approached me in an -- and in -- caring comforting manner. And I told her what the flag -- this young man and she did in Iraq means that I want to get my Plaxico without you get an idea because I didn't want total light.

Is it going too far to say that when all of this happen to you. At the Bank of America and Floyd -- boulevard in Gaffney as you were preparing for this just incredible. Memorial if you will for a lance corporal folks. Did you ever. I mean what I said earlier this morning Brenda. If if fine it was an employee or. A branch manager what would you say this woman's name is. Ready to if it was a branch manager. I I don't even know where that kind of thinking comes from my I don't know I've never worked in banking I don't know how much leeway a branch manager past. But for crying -- it in Gaffney South Carolina is this something that she had to do. -- what do you think motivated. Horror I mean how could -- as an American. Even have that -- if if they told me if it was corporate pals and they told me that I would do that with under these circumstances. I would tell on the go take a flying -- At any American would say you know what I'm not doing that. Unless.

Unless. I have to speculate here.

Unless this woman has a problem with the United States of America.

Well not only that the question did look -- their property because I put it on the edge of the sidewalk. The very edge of the sidewalk it would not. I treat it and it was not. Indicated it was on the edge of the sidewalk and I was very careful it can do that because I didn't know about the glass cutters irony --

At a Brenda Brenda I mean I. You know even if even if it was indeed on their prime yeah I I just don't know where this kind of thinking. Comes from in Gaffney south.

Carolina took an outlook that's I think that was the -- it -- sell off guard. Not believe that in the volcano in the background. Passionately are here exactly stand behind this young man that all of our men and women who -- inner artist. It -- right. Our National Guard and -- leave it -- toy drive. Sure and and -- the community Ali came together it's one thing about -- we always come together and no matter who -- what you're. Background aren't we all come together this morning support.

Did you cry a -- to -- you handle that problem back in the early part of this summer or in the -- again appearing with the serial killer and -- all of that tragedy I'm Brenda. I can't tell you how much I appreciate you calling in for us to get it first hand. -- I think you're borrowed. A huge apology. And that I don't think that's too much to ask. I think that whoever this woman was and she's welcome to call and tell her side of the story if she wants just like you did. You know we didn't call you you called a surprise. She's welcome to tell her side of the story but I gotta tell you. If I lived and get a wherever you war where -- in Gaffney or whatever. I've I've got a -- idea I mean this do pastor be it that they did is we deserve a response. Up from from Bank of America. They're welcome to call in here and offer one anybody who works for the Bank of America. But I think you're owed a huge apology I think Chris folks Stanley is -- a huge apology. This is this goes beyond insulting. Especially under these circumstances. When he he dies defending this country. And and everybody else was. Great that flags were all over the street I mean I this was the only place on the street that did this right.

There only one problem. Well Bank of America wants to single themselves out like this then god help them. Result like consent have them removed the name of their bank. And their logo which is a -- American flag as well yeah I mean should they think event had to make any sense if you're the Bank of America and you're worried that a small flag -- honor of fallen marine is gonna insults and your -- It sounds to me like this branch managers got some issues.

It didn't want to get it like you feel like a small boy to refute. Well -- the majority of the people and our current.

A narrow lead in silence her voice and inaugural sirens -- Brenda again thank you so much and you act like America and god bless America did you hear -- if you hear anything from the Brenda please call us back our -- are certainly not for that curls up there and get the current culture comments. Is they truly want news radio WORG. 27 somebody it was kind enough to. This game and send -- concrete. An article about this a flag flap.

Says it was a simple misunderstanding. Saying Bank of America's a proud supporter of the men and women. We've sacrificed a great deal for country. You well that's -- but. What in the world would prompt a branch manager. Animal places. The Bank of America. To even have the thought in her head. That there would be anything wrong with putting out American flags. To honor a fault of marine. -- ladies and gentlemen that the country is in. Real trouble. Beautiful places in Gaffney. South Carolina. A picture perfect snapshot. Of what America is. This scene was that that are great scene can be a pain and on board as apart of the best read of American life honoring. Fallen hero move --

Chris folks moms were taking their young children and it is better mileage so -- a very moving thing and and -- Gaffney you know of small town USA. Folks came out hundreds of them. It became as one report described a living memorial to lance corporal Chris folks. And a lot of them had their American flags and and and then all of a sudden a caller called in earlier this morning said. Have you guys heard about this this flag flap. And so I jumped on lot of try to find something in the Gaffney ledger I figured they would have -- their own website says they don't publish a full story until a week after. But somebody's actually scanned the story written by Tim go on and and -- in senate job and here's what access. Brenda -- says she was taken aback Tuesday morning -- says she. Only wanted to honor the sacrifice of lance corporal Chris folks by lining Wes Floyd -- boulevard. With United States flags. She should she said she never expected some of the flags would be removed. Because of corporate policy. -- said she had placed three flags on the law on. In front of the Bank of America branch office as she made her way down the boulevard on football while returning to her vehicle. She knows the flags missing from the banks lawn. And was met by a bank official who informed her the flags were removed because of bank policy. Earl said quote I think it's an outrage we have companies doing business in America and their policies not to fly our flag because someone might not appreciate it. The bank said the matter was simply misunderstood. Quote Bank of America's a proud supporter of the men and women who have sacrificed a great deal for country. This was an unfortunate miscommunication we are fine. With the flags being pushed in a bank consider. Bank spokesman. Nicole. Spokeswoman Nicole must -- now. So that's what's in the -- ledger and and and after talking about this and it's a very emotional issue. Brenda curls the lady at the center of all this. Called into our program and an -- just in case you missed it last hour here is what she says happened first --

Politician like gratitude and support Tikrit and every. Great apparently up across the street from -- like -- this young -- with a toddler. And I'll he had the most the most beautiful smile that we just military court and -- just had a great wit about him. And so we can get to vote -- and -- that you can't a couple of -- Brand it my thought -- and he was so proud I gave him five dollars. Well every week. Pick up sound equipment brand that it's not that you didn't you just have a third yeah but that when that the they didn't like it and whatever little change I had and it went on and so you know it's like yeah. It was a beautiful young man. -- an honor and and so my gratitude to family. I played flag to design a gated neighborhood on both sides of the road but I had quite a -- on the sidewalk not to be interest upon anyone. And I had balked at camp Olympic boulevard in the -- about an hour talking back and my car when another Evernote flagship Bank of America. I'd just. They'll let pop back to fight -- along the Republican front the bank. And quickly deployed account not her name with Brandon carry device manager and approached me and I cannot put a flag here. And they informed me that my -- that I -- the flat not flag. And the -- that the bank and that it I want and then I need to go and get them. -- you talking about American flag and -- let. Any kind of -- But America. And he's that this is a fine it means dictation into politics at -- market might not appreciate it. -- yet I want AFLAC I went in the bank -- like an issue -- have been -- and candidly backed the flak. -- And I never return back again.

Part -- can you can you hold on one quick second our hold on let's. Right then we had our traffic and weather update last hour so let me -- press that and and what you -- the rest reverend -- story bill. Is in Taylor's side by bill.

I -- born grows. Out of cult displaying coming from that airport on a -- in this -- help -- not list until it Oman. All mount an antibiotic called him to tell you who originally owned -- of America. Do. I don't know -- but -- It would start -- it was Black America something they'll part of but if I'm not mistaken that the system out bibles but verify -- was in home by somebody that was not from the -- re just -- elected -- US -- US -- in the US -- the person. That started the -- order or not it from that you would just. Paula and I told sorry wearable they're from but -- When you fire that up thank you know that that'll make it even think.

Hoosier to understand MM with all the debt that we -- the Chinese you the truth it would Obama's take over of the financial sector. I don't know maybe all of this is a lot more obvious than many of us would think bill thank you. Our net at the last hour I asked Brenda paroles -- and you know since all this happened have you heard anything from the Bank of America. And here's what she told. My guess it was yesterday.

Well I -- local newspaper had contacted their corporate office. And that that they hit it within misunderstanding. Like that it would allow his lack that they report -- and they would allow the flag by air. I noted that night -- by last night that someone had like two small -- reflect what let my flag. But somewhere else. But they could put them but let your little one -- that's what they'll economic understanding had to go inside the bank every trademark black. Now I don't know what. What is believed to misunderstand. She only that it was Bangkok and then I drove it at that location. That morning it took morning tried. Hit eight other location at Bank of America down Camelot on straight have a flag pro but there was no flag on the --

I won't be clear here of the timeline. So. Worry your flags there -- errors. Christians casket passed by. Yesterday.

I have no idea if they were still up it can't when.

I I don't know.

you actually thought about pirate finger remember you saying. You put them up on Tuesday you were caring for the event on Wednesday and all of this that happened with the Bank of America happened on choose to correct. So it is you do you don't know I don't know whether or not your flag but then -- gotten your flags back right so we don't know whether any flags were in front of the Bank of America their influence -- boulevard to honor. Chris folks.

I have no idea I have no idea. What's so amazing to me about this. The very name of the bank Bank of America could be insulting to many America haters in this in this country. They're very name. Could prompt anchor. Well I I find Bennett -- Brenda Bernard just take just take a moment it tell me what's goin' through your mind right now about this.

Now that apparently understand the sacrifices. That if they grew up in an American and all American family his grandfather. With the service Marie. People it -- he took over twenty something years in the Marines get uncle what I'll vote in the Murray in the gulf war. And that it look at the I think and they went Christopher decided to join the Marines. I leave it the kids loved the -- it was all about your whole life with the marine. In the heart but I feel they've been so approached the abruptly by the the lady. -- have no compassion. There was no I'm sorry material that you know I just working there's nothing like that -- nothing. To indicate that seat. That that the do you. That's partly so much so now that we capital company. Could put -- money at some of the largest. Money's -- the -- out money. And our tax dollars. I couldn't quite flat on our young man in -- and leopard that many young men and women who have served our country. And who could file for our country concrete and the freedom that I had to have gotten that money. That would put him in cannot do -- and it it would failure on my -- it was not a Laporte and the understanding what she told me. What -- told me what it was their bank Halloween. And it would offend Olympic.

But I am detecting from attitude that she did it -- attitude.

And that I think that would look. Critical part is you know you get approached me in an -- it in -- carrying a comforting manner. And I told her what the flag to reform -- young man and she did in Iraq means that I want to get my Plaxico was -- an idea because I didn't want total like.

Is that going too far to say that when all of this happened to you that the Bank of America and Floyd -- boulevard in Gaffney as you were preparing for this. Just incredible. Memorial if you will for lance corporal folks. Did you ever. I mean what I said earlier this morning Brenda. If if fine it was an employee or. A branch manager what would you say this woman's name is. Ready to it if I was a branch manager. Why I don't even know where that kind of thinking comes from my I don't know I've never worked in banking I don't know how much leeway branch manager branch. But for crying out about it and Gaffney South Carolina is this something that she had to do. What what do you think motivated. -- I mean how could -- as an American. Even have that -- if if they told me if it was corporate pals and they told me that I would do that with under these circumstances. I would tell on the go take a flying -- Any American would say you know what.

I'm not doing that. Unless. Unless. I have to speculate here unless this woman has a problem with the United States a moment.

Well not only that the question did look like -- property because I put it on the edge of the sidewalk. The very edge of the sidewalk it would not. I treat it and it was not. Indicated it went on the edge of the sidewalk and I was very careful to do that because I didn't know about the -- cutters and --

At a Brenda Brenda I mean I. You know even if even if it laws indeed on their prime yeah I I just don't know where this kind of thing didn't. Comes from in --

South Carolina to grind out what was left I think that was this shocker it currently sell off guard. Does not believe that in the volcano in the background compassionate we are here exactly and Condit young man that all of our men and women who -- It -- right. Our National Guard and -- ago we would -- toy drive should. And and it became the community -- came together one thing about it will help we always come together again. No matter -- what you're. Background aren't we all come together this morning and support.

Did you are lucky you handled that problem back in the early part of this summer or in the chairs again appearing with a serial killer and -- all of that tragedy I'm Brenda. I can't tell you how much I appreciate you call again for us to get it firsthand. Our conversation last hour Brenda pearls in Gaffney over this flag -- It's 921 now in the news radio WORD. Sorry quickly we go to the phones shipped it didn't Cleveland hi chip. --

Well that does the week they announced that they were going to put the Communist flag on top of a.

Always I believe you're right in -- the gonna fly the Communist flag at the White House background. Yeah I think so these are health course where America is these things that would offend anybody will it.

I don't well since -- you know this is credited. The pen is mightier than the sword. They go with the freedom maxim there. Rebuttal of the second men steal so you don't have there's some people that they they're crazy out there and it seemed to be making more sense every day. And I sure tip my hat. -- friend Karl.

tell -- what does she is like any of us. We would be so there you go -- rose is in Spartanburg Cairo's.

Art and the wandered into the eight it look at it like it out but indicated it is -- eight.

Well it is your right. Thank you cliff on a cellphone high cliffs.

Look you know I'll -- you guys -- should you do alms. What is -- thank you. And Earl. The -- tell you. It's all right should be -- into your. War continues this. And oh. You worked for people like circus and it. Country that lady put ago were urging are -- people like that be speaking German and Chinese -- Russian. But we'll tell you this I am going to our bank probably more -- yeah. Close all -- Mike Phelps. Be more than happy to call eulogy here because my.

I don't wealth yeah that that be fun and would get there. Thank you clarified I'm I'm getting a lot of that I I I really hope that Bank of America. Just thanks well this just little local talk show big deal will let it pass nobody will respond it -- via the automobile one -- news stories on -- bomb. But if if enough people do like the last caller maybe they you know they can't ignore it. Quick email here before the bottom of the hour news -- I cannot called in because of my emotions. I'm the mother of a twenty year old marine who is in Iraq now. So this hits too close to home. My heart is broken about this fine young man I wish that somehow. You can get the storied Hannity or someone nationally. So that the country could hear this story because it needs to be too old. Paula from -- proud mother. The US marine -- 930. And folks are correct some guys senator give -- because it covered this when it broke about the Chinese flag flying at the White House. I just thought about Saddam and go back and checked out again. Fox News have a story back on September 4 White House debunked reports it will fly China's flag on the South Lawn lawn. Here's what it says were quickly -- the reporter. White House dismissed as an accurate reports from China that the administration will mark the sixtieth anniversary of the founding of the people's republic. By flying the Chinese flag on South Lawn China daily. Citing other media reports claim the president. Of the -- on association of the United States. Had been granted permission to hoist the Chinese flag quote in a ceremony in front of the president's residence. Well there will be a ceremony it will take place. But it won't happen on White House grounds rather it will be on the ellipse on the other side of these street from the president's residence. China's Johnny -- report. Which said the flag would represent strong US Chinese relations in recognition of China's success. In hosting the 2008 Summer Olympics. Sent off howls of protest on the Internet and among conservative talk show host despite failing to receive confirmation from the White House. Demonstrations by foreign groups on the ellipse or in the Lafayette park in from the White House are not uncommon. But foreign flags are only -- on the powerful mode the White House grounds or on Pennsylvania Avenue to mark state or official. Visits of the country's leadership under those guidelines the Chinese flag has flown. On -- White House grounds before. It was an April of 05. When president. Who gen Powell visited then president George W. Bush. In fact the current controversy is reminiscent of that visit. Chinese insisted it was a state visit despite. US assurances it was only an official won the state visit label would have implied a bigger honored to if you. And to China but bush only had a handful state visits and who wasn't one of them. Still Chinese media continued to report it was a state visit even after Basil so anyway. Just wanted to make sure that you have the latest on that meanwhile back to the flag flap Bank of America in Gaffney bill thank you for waiting.

Era I just started listening when you just -- the lady acidity so I don't know -- been brought before. -- just I would say that the red light and apple that my debit card out there or -- compared. Their logo is a stylized American.

I think yeah. Yeah that's primaries -- should -- thinking about this bill -- about the story first and from Brenda girls about how they went out there yanked upper American flags were missed. Casket with -- Marines going to be there and you know go go down main street Gaffney. And I thought this this doesn't make sense on so many levels but then when you think about though all the anti Americanism out there right now. May be either shouldn't be so shocking.

Well. Clinton sat a couple of years that the Bank of America trot some kind of power program in California where they were granting credit without credit -- and Hispanics.

No -- they were they were openly sobbed and you know trying to help out illegals with that was credit cards if I remember right and.

Hit the plot -- just being intellectually honest and -- they're nine to the bank of three Americans that's what Barack.

Maybe smoke a lot of folks are caller brought this up in my understanding a lot of folks have said to me now Bank of America was originally founded as the bank of Italy. That's catered to immigrants. Now quiet with -- honoring their their heritage. Email -- the Bank of America employee in Gaffney lacked the milk of human kindness but I'm inclined to believe the Bank of America's flag ban is for the purpose. Of eliminating the stars and stripes from the landscape banks and corporations. Lead to push for a one world government politicians. Just marched of their trim the ban on all glory is intended to condition us. For the coming of the North American unions golfers are welcome to give me. A more logical explanation that comes. From Rita. -- Bank of America can allow any flag because the next time. It might be the confederate battle flag or a Muslim flag or the Chinese flag wait that's okay -- A -- country is it anyway it comes from bill in Duncan Richard is in Greeneville hi Richard.

All Russell Howard L. Cool job I got my outlook all of this morning yeah. I am I am fiercely patriotic I -- flag about a problem. Small car line in my yard you and a lot of family members that are in the military your carpet from the military. And dot and a bank America customer for about fifteen years now. Anderson I heard this this morning called over the water broke branch and I national radio that said I did not your public relations department. Our first question out -- out was is this in regards to the flag -- yes we are to the soldiers is disregarding sold it yesterday -- got a special carpet -- just all that lady out of the -- And such as Seagate the eight ball number two Nicole which I called and of course it's you can imagine got a voicemail. And I'll interpret audio message that you know there's a longtime customer and I need to know where they expand on this talking no op pressed to get my money out by American to a -- it doesn't hear these policies. So well this -- out at that number two Colbert you'll meet.

I would love for you to give it to me. I'm gonna get it to us.

Okay hurt -- my number is not a -- 0388. Yeah. Into the top two and Egypt -- cellphone number 7040. Yeah not enough pop. I'm not on top story. -- hear -- HTTP won't come on the radio Ito did not. Probably a tight drink out of here come on the radio and they were bank Americas and the only issue.

I'm sure engines and get that right now -- thank you very near street and would be to find out. What what will be -- with the branch manager. Up there in Gaffney. Do you know how to spell resonate. Well -- think. I mean really the other corporate people takeover that's just the way things happen and they'll try to Hamlet. But but I think boy I think people need to hear directly. From the branch manager and and why. In her brain. It was somehow. Again. You know against corporate policy or whatever to allow these flags to be placed in front of the bank. In in this situation were lance corporal folks is. Coming home. After he was killed in Afghanistan I. See that can't be swept under the rug either I would hate to be heard today. -- she was had a bad day yesterday. Again I keep goodness Ross if history is indeed true my accounts will be closed story 9429. Point six -- close one of five this whole story has created folks enough. I would -- were probably the only ones all over this story this much about this just disgraceful. And that's only way and have to describe it. The disrespect. Shown by a Bank of America in Gaffney during the funeral procession if you will. Of lance corporal Chris folks. Killed in Afghanistan. -- I cannot begin to explain my outrage. Related to the Bank of America branch in Gaffney just blatant disrespectful behavior. Is not acceptable by any standard I hope you in the media. Will not take the pressure off of them until they do the following number one the branch manager should be required to issue a personal apology to the family. Number two Bank of America should not be permitted to simply issue a corporate statement. Explaining how they support the troops and expect business as usual number three. The good people of Gaffney and Cherokee county. Should demand to Bank of America to release its corporate policy on displaying the American flag not just issue an apology as I suspect. There is some type of internal political correctness. Permeating this banking system in order for any employee. To commit an act of disrespect such of this and finally. Unless Bank of America -- complies with these requests. That people Gaffney should demand it city and county governmental entities. Pass a resolution. Condemning Bank of America. And discontinue all financial transactions. With Bank of America that comes from deal. Keith is next in land from high teeth.

I refer to go to -- one decline since. Commented that informed -- but which connector in the military your -- to have a channel but America and all you're.

Do I didn't read they do have quite a large military. Program.

vocal -- should know would have slept through both. Apparently the -- you cure all but also to military struggle.

Oh yeah. I mean how else could you interpreted. I know that probably -- here's the way it's gonna go. This was a mistake we're so sorry that it happened. We can't talk about personal personnel issues must you know we've we've taken appropriate action now it's time for this to all go away. That's problem. Russell from us our identities. Bob is next time up.

Yet -- that policy you gonna -- traditional politicians. But -- on the -- so like everybody else by this that they went on the to do not. -- with Bank of America issued it never. That are. Honoring fallen soldier one comes up -- bite out. Honoring -- also order going to. Ers -- most likely. Going to.

You're gonna drive about the death need to do this.

Lander and yes I'm making my point Brett I'd like to be elated that did it look at -- of the region and know there's -- it should never happened there's no apology. Necessary at this point it doesn't mean it should never have -- out this.

Yeah again the question asked me how what what is the mindset what what would. What would make this branch managers think that this will somehow.

The appropriate thing to do -- She wasn't. He was actually on the power play somebody in authority -- I got. A little lost here don't want not think about what about -- anything else just what that.

And -- stroller she explained to the branch manager why she'd put the flags they're honor lance corporal Chris folks. And still the woman yanked at the flags and told her. If you want your -- you gotta come and siding get them I mean that's what -- Earl told us I mean you heard it's just it's mind boggling. Thank you serve. So we've got to drive up there. -- this Bank of America snafus just another example of the anti American sentiments that have ridden in on the coattails of the far left. As they controlled the White House the congress and the Senate. Even raising its ugly head in little Gaffney South Carolina I'm not surprised. After all. That I've seen in the last six months and this breaks my. Heart. Respectfully. Conservative Christian Barry. One more Mike in Greenville high.

Yeah I think that you. Congress needs to spend the -- passed a resolution couldn't bring -- America. Would actually -- work doing compared to what they did lightly.

talking about resolution of disapproval. But not that.

I still don't think -- that it about this has been great and why parties loose. Telling me I shouldn't go get a restraining order on the very aggressive customer had. But that are so worried about lawsuits nowadays but they're actually. Doing something might actually create a lawsuit but in the tribal audit.

Well and according to Brenda girl's report to us government. She said she was told to flags were being taken because it might offend some customers but for crime elements -- stupid it is -- certainly do that Beckham brand product but what about the offending you know most of us 99%. Of us by doing this. If your word about offending somebody thank you Mike in this and I I've got this email several times Ross. Bank of America has an entire military banking programs one of the largest in the country. Did know that -- 952.
