Mr.
are right does the -- group have a legal case against Bank of America.
Let's -- let's ask Fox News legal analyst les -- thanks for helping us out tonight if you this is a fascinating yet -- and I was shocked -- I'll.
And -- you know it's like they don't want customers right and -- -- have money from the bailout for -- you know that got money in their.
But letting go customers know this is horrible PR Jerry and I -- -- -- part of the day looking at that.
At the web sites in the Internet and all the -- that's going on about Hitler talk everybody's -- -- many many people are talking about it I would say 9899%.
Are in mr.
MacMillan camp I mean they're saying oh what Bank of America -- exactly -- but legally.
Here's the problem.
It could try to say discriminatory practices right discriminating against us because of -- Second Amendment but discriminatory practice of for the second man is not a protected class like -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Right and somebody comes to your front door you cannot refuse the business into -- person comes different -- you have in the business break minority of black family unless your door somebody over 48.
And if you're right Glaxo what kids because they're not gonna let -- expand those protected classes they're not of that protective class and you could say I will then deceptive practices.
But the irony here is that Bank of America was not deceptive revenue were painfully honest by saying we don't want your business the candy and our new concept of my outlook so I don't know legally -- I think -- -- -- well trouble but what they have said and you know we get the answer from the PR office that's.
Corporate right right it's not somebody out the feeling is that they have -- very they said we have other customers that writing its guns.
What I don't know if that's true or not -- but but it leads to another problem is if you were trying to be case here which is that there were only two people mr.
MacMillan mr.
fox in that room.
So it's gonna be if you if it ever wound up in court -- he says he's that kind of thing they don't have a case.
They don't because they don't have a case not that I can figure out don't try to get a got something pink and taxpayers gave that company and -- 45 billion dollars.
Through chart it'd be nice if we get some of that back if the government could somehow come after if some of that with a TARP money well that's not gonna happen -- -- they repaid that money that -- diet -- other financial institutions that that a not for AIG has not -- financial has not.
The Bank of America has but still you feel like there's a little obligation out there so much we save you money OK you -- now -- -- away.
-- -- at the end of the business.
Now it's horrible it's gonna be a bad bad mark from Bank of America this PR is gonna really hurt the we're talking about a possible Internet is talking about and recommend most sinister but now he's such a sympathetic guy.
Clearly just wanted to do business and and you know pop that he was with -- with the right bank obviously not growing small business -- we want to encourage our -- wait.
One more question here do you think this might me.
Political.
-- absolutely I mean that's political in the sense that the second amended and political and a higher political.
As far as the sense that somebody somewhere bank and in the -- maybe I don't don't want to finance gun manufacturers because it's not the right thing well somebody thinks that if if what if what McMillan says is true and I I.
Believe -- allegation that fox came in said that it was a set up.
Number he goes whose office right senior vice president goes to his office it's like however senior writer never meet or -- relatively.
-- of course he's getting his or his.
You know orders from somebody else.
Unbelievable I know I admitted they're just you know they're laying off a lot of employees maybe they're trying to have fewer customers -- how about picks up -- -- -- That's not the way you -- a little look at our and all bigger grant -- That the nation's largest bank right please come on -- it's always a pleasure to have you here any time -- and -- thank you.
Are right here's your chance to weigh in on our question tonight should big banks being able to pick inches customers bought on -- Gerri Willis dot com vote on the right hand side of the screen.
-- the results at the end of tonight show.
Coming up that seems like the jobs crisis in this country's getting worse not better I'll break it down and are the big banks include.
