Today on The Christopher Gabriel Program: We’ll continue to look at the hat trick of emerging / growing scandals in Washington… although some are saying “not so fast… the IRS situation isn’t a scandal… it’s an internal wording problem with 501(c)4′s that happened decades ago. This isn’t the fault of President Obama.” Of course there’s a lot in play here, much more than what the President (or anyone around him) knew or didn’t know.

Today on The CGP: The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) calls them “Alternative Financial Services” — services outside normal banking systems that low-income consumers depend on… for example, storefronts that offer check-cashing for people without bank accounts and high-interest payday loans. It’s all legal, yet smells of being wildly unethical. And public university presidents considering the insane cost of college, and so many of these individuals telling famlies why they desperately need to raise tuition, something just doesn’t fit. Jeff Kolpack with our Monday Sports Rap and more,

Today on The Christopher Gabriel Program: Elite legal mind Bruce Quick joins me to discuss the Boston bombings, Amanda Knox’s retrial in Italy and the Supreme Court case Florida v. Jardines. (dealt with a dog sniff on a home without a warrant). Also, the show “Dance Moms.” I’ve known about it for several years but not until tonight had I watched it. I fully expected to be disgusted with yet another misguided, carnival side-show in the world of reality television. And — I wasn’t disappointed. BUT – I watched every minute of the program. How did I get sucked in? Why do people get sucked in… this is Season 3 so a lot of people are on the hook. That and more as we’re live from Fargo at 11a CT and as always we welcome your thoughts at talk@wday.com or 888-970-9329 and 293-9000.
