Just an incredible day I don't know why it's not a national holiday it should be today is constitution day. Which commemorates the in the formation in shining. Of arguably although I don't think so but the greatest. One of the greatest in my opinion the greatest. Thing it other than the Bible ever written. 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.
Rocket mortar athletic status contribution there he. Well there I want to start out a lot of think they -- but a lot of -- off by. 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. All the stuff going on why would you. Why would any citizen of this country anybody who loves freedom. Not wanna talk about the constitution every wonderful talking Wilmington and schools -- what exactly exactly. And you know it it's it's not gonna get any headlines today in you -- and in the mainstream media. Leo. I know there is going to be. And event. You know coming up. I believe it's this Saturday and moving up state young Republicans. Are doing it a bit but they're not even doing it on constitution that hatred to it -- on Saturday. 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.

Why watching straight the -- They could be a -- And better chat because you are hanging the flag represented. And I I don't. --

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.

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.

It's either stupidity stupidity or it's I'm sorry it's any America it's one of the two I don't can there possibly be a middle ground here you know. A Tim David you're there are you use you more of a branch manager even if you saw that this was a corporate policy. Would you can pair in these circumstances and pulled up the American flag from and brought to your bank. And.

Q were there -- not had a lot of I don't settlement.
Okay all right -- I appreciate your perspective. Speaking to veterans got this Ross is a Vietnam vet. I'm very attuned to things like Bank of America just pulled I'd I'd do not watch the Big Three news plus CNN I do not buy GE. I turned off the show 24 in other words I am closing by account today.

You -- yeah. Well I used to be a Bank of America. Customer. -- money out several years ago. Just. Do the fact that this most Protestant agencies Somalia. People would sponsor with their money on. Support all the time it just. Just typically anti American organization as a source concerned. There should be no surprise anybody. You do a little research you'll be welcoming.
All right thank you sir and got way. Is in Greer high guy.

Be just soccer like and respect. Just say that I hope they get each -- and -- it -- it only way to do that is by their business.
All right guys thank you I I just told Bank of America. Chumps on this -- issue some palace statement. How much more than they told the Gaffney Leger -- folks for those -- you. Just tuning -- I'd -- to talk about lot of things today earlier this morning we're gonna call. Because all of us I think who saw this work who were very moved yesterday about what happened to in Gaffney. A young twenty year old marine. The first military persons understand it to be killed in action. In Cherokee county since the Vietnam War. Came home. And his flag draped casket after being. Flown into GSP was escorted. By the military by the patriot riders people lining the streets. All up and down the interstate two I saw pictures less than on TV. You had you know -- law enforcement and firefighters. -- lining. The overpasses on I 85 waving waving flags to honor. This fall launch new Paula marine lance corporal. 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 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.

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.
