Recently postal workers and friends banded together to hold a rally in my hometown of Windsor Heights, Iowa. Well over 200 people came together to say "Hell no to taking the United States Postal Service private!" They lined Hwy. 6 or Hickman Road holding signs and hearing so many vehicles honk in solidarity. Yes, there were speakers and one was Herb Copley the President of the Iowa State Association of Letter Carriers, AFL-CIO. I sat down with Herb who had some interesting things to say about the "service of postal workers".  He also blew away the myth that the USPS receives taxpayer support.  It does not.  Meet Herb Copley: Thanks for listening!

If you remember we carried a story this past week about the danger in taking the United States Postal Service private. That concern just got a reality check as David Steiner, a former CEO of the nation's largest waste management company who currently serves on the FedEx board of directors, is poised to take over control of the U.S. Postal Service. Might this be the first shoe to fall?  This is the Business News Headlines for Friday the 9th day of May, thanks for being with us. In other news, talks between the U.S. and China over trade is as confusing as most things coming from Washington.

The history of the United States Postal Service as it plays out in the streets of New York City -- from the first post road to the first postage stamps. From the most beautiful post office in the country to the forgotten Gilded Age landmark that was once considered the ugliest post office.The postal service has always served as the country's circulatory system, linking the densest urban areas to the most rural outposts, a necessary link in moments when the country feels very far apart in other ways. The early American colonies knew this. Benjamin Franklin knew this The Founding Fathers who placed the postal service within the Constitution knew this.And inventions such as the stagecoach, the steamship, the railroad, the pneumatic tube and even the electric car have helped keep the mail steadily flowing over the centuries.New York has even played a pivotal role in the development of the American mail service, from the creation of the Boston Post Road (the first mail road which snaked through Manhattan and the Bronx) to the first mail boxes. Even the first postage stamps were sold in New York -- within former church-turned-post office in lower Manhattan.Why are there so many post offices from the 1930s? Why is New York's largest post office next to Penn Station? And why does New York City have so many individual ZIP codes? And who, pray tell, is Barnabas Bates?Visit our website for more information and imagesMore information here on the Bowery Boys: Gilded Age Weekend This episode was produced and edited by Kieran Gannon

Hosts: Taylor Morgan and Adam Gardiner  Protests erupted over the weekend across the country, with thousands of mail workers protesting privatization of the United States Postal Service. The idea to privatize the agency isn't a new one and isn't exclusive to President Trump. But in the year 2025, do we still need the post office or not? The Inside Sources hosts have a lively discussion about the supposed ‘business’ of the U.S.P.S. 

Hosts: Taylor Morgan and Adam Gardiner  Report: Top-secret military plans accidentally texted to journalist  Imagine this: you're minding your own business when you get added to a group text with national security leaders. And in that chat, you receive highly classified information about an upcoming military strike. Oh, and we should mention that you're not a national security leader yourself. It’s exactly what happened to the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. The Inside Sources host discuss the security... of national security.    Court of Appeals hears from Trump Administration on deportation  The Trump Administration continues its fight to have more control over deportations today. A federal judge denied the administration's request to lift a temporary restraining order on deporting alleged gang members under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 this morning. Now, the administration is in court making their case to a three-person appeals court. Taylor and Adam give listeners the latest on the ongoing deportation lawsuits.    Pres. Trump says we should give allies less productive weapons  Our allies in Europe are questioning their own defenses following remarks from President Trump that he'll give toned-down weapons to those allies. The President saying our allies now might not be our allies in the future, so we shouldn't give them top-notch weapons. Is this sound reasoning or something akin to paranoia? The Inside Sources hosts share their thoughts.    Poll: Kamala Harris top choice to lead Democrats in 2028  Although she lost both the electoral college vote and the popular vote last November, and lost the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020, it appears Kamala Harris could try another run in 2028. New polling shows that Democrats largely support her and the idea of another Harris campaign. Is this a winning strategy for Democrats?    U.S. Postal Service: To privatize or not?  Protests erupted over the weekend across the country, with thousands of mail workers protesting privatization of the United States Postal Service. The idea to privatize the agency isn't a new one and isn't exclusive to President Trump. But in the year 2025, do we still need the post office or not? The Inside Sources hosts have a lively discussion about the supposed ‘business’ of the U.S.P.S.    How do SLC leaders feel about bills passed during the legislative session?  The dynamics between the conservative state government -- including the Utah Legislature -- and the more liberal Salt Lake City were on broad display during the 2025 Legislative General Session. City leaders say several bills passed by the Legislature directly affect the city by taking away control from its residents. Now, Mayor Erin Mendenhall says she’s “deeply concerned.” What bills may have been targeted towards Salt Lake City? Inside Sources digs into it.    Sponsored eggs?  Ahead of the annual Easter Egg Roll -- for the first time -- the Trump administration has put out calls for official corporate sponsors. It might seem relatively harmless, but is it? Or is it indicative of the impact of big money in politics? The Inside Sources hosts break down the complex relationship between the White House and corporations.     Remembering former U.S. Congresswoman Mia Love  Following a three-year battle with an aggressive form of brain cancer, former United States Representative Mia Love passed away yesterday. She was only 49. A child of immigrant parents, she made quite the name for herself in politics. In fact, she was the first Black Republican woman to serve in the U.S. House of Representatives. Inside Sources hosts Adam Gardiner and Taylor Morgan share some of their favorite memories of Love and how she inspired them.   

Potential changes could be coming to the United States Postal Service and we wanted to get your viewpoint on the idea of the Trump Administration possibly slashing and implementing privatization for the USPS.

  With the Trump administration considering making cuts to the United States Postal Service, protesters gathered in West Valley City to oppose those possible changes. Senator Nate Blouin, joins the show to discuss the possible repercussions these changes could cause. Dave and Debbie take calls from listeners to see if their lives would be different without the USPS.

HoldCo Bros are back! In this episode, Nik and I, Chris, talk about the power of the middleman business model as a great way to start a low-risk business today. We discuss the core idea of connecting buyers and sellers without dealing with inventory or providing services directly. I share the concept of a "Never Touch Plastic" marketplace, similar to Etsy, but focused on environmentally conscious consumers.

Hosts: Leah Murray and Adam Gardiner  President Trump is now expected to take control of the United States Postal Service. That would involve firing the Postal Service's governing board, but the board is planning to fight the pending executive order. It comes as the President takes control of other boards and government-related organizations like the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Leah and Adam discuss the consolidation of power.   

Hosts: Leah Murray and Adam Gardiner  How might a new SLCPD chief affect the relationship between the city and the state? Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall has selected Brian Redd to be the next chief of police for the city. The City Council will still need to approve the choice. The current chief is retiring at the request of Mayor Mendenhall, who said the city's police force needed a new leader and a new direction. Today, Adam and Leah discuss the pick and what it could mean for the future of the department.  On the Hill 2025: The relationship between the legislature and the Utah Board of Education This morning, a bill that addresses the relationship between the Utah State Board of Education and the Utah Legislature passed out of committee. The bill -- House Bill 156 -- aims to clarify the relationship of the two entities: who gets to direct what. Bill sponsor State Representative Norm Thurston joins us to share more about the bill and answer a few questions.  On the Hill 2025: Changes to the Utah Fits All Scholarship program We continue our deep-dive into education-related bills by looking at some changes being proposed to the Utah Fits All Scholarship program. If you'll recall, this program launched last year and provides up to $8,000 to be used for a variety of education expenses and services. State Representative Candice Pierucci led the charge on the original bill and is working on changes now; she joins us for this discussion.  On the Hill 2025: Amendments to how some taxes are used Your property taxes may go to the state's general funds instead of local schools if the Governor signs a bill that has now passed the state Legislature. The bill is Senate Bill 37, and it would make changes to a few tax-related issues. State Senator Lincoln Fillmore is sponsoring the bill and joins us to talk more about it.  Budget cuts coming to the Pentagon, Department of Defense The last couple weeks have been pretty turbulent for government employees. There are a lot of federal worker layoffs going on around the country, including at the IRS, FAA, the National Park Service, and the US Forest Service. Could layoffs be coming to the Department of Defense too? It looks like it... The Inside Sources hosts share their thoughts on cutting this important budget.  New York Governor says she won’t fire New York City mayor The drama over the future of New York City Mayor Eric Adams continues after the New York Governor said that she won't remove him from office. It's the latest development in the situation following several pushes from the Justice Department for prosecutors to drop the bribery case against him. This whole thing can get a little weedy, but the Inside Sources hosts break down this fascinating topic.  Pres. Trump to take control of USPS, continuing trend of consolidating power President Trump is now expected to take control of the United States Postal Service. That would involve firing the Postal Service's governing board, but the board is planning to fight the pending executive order. It comes as the President takes control of other boards and government-related organizations like the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Leah and Adam discuss the consolidation of power.  Town Halls as a form of civic engagement Inside Sources host Leah Murray loves being involved in the civic process. Last night, she attended her second Town Hall meeting of the year and found the topics covered to be very interesting. She and Adam Gardiner discuss the range of issues frequently discussed in Town Halls. 

It's Hump Day! Emma speaks with Elizabeth Pancotti, managing director of policy at the Groundwork Collaborative, to discuss Elon Musk and DOGE's efforts to curb government spending, and how it's faring in terms of public opinion. Then, she speaks with Tyler Vasseur, shop steward with the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) Branch 9, to discuss the NALC's recent decision to reject a tentative contract deal with the United States Postal Service. First, Emma runs through updates on Trump's plummeting approval rating, Hannity's sit down with the Trump/Musk regime, Trump's government funding freeze, Trump's support for Russia, Trump's agency raids, Trump's cabinet confirmations, record credit card debt, dropping homicide rates, Brazil's systems of political accountability, and Kansas' gender-affirming care ban, before watching Elon and Trump blatantly lie about their cost-cutting efforts on Hannity. Elizabeth Pancotti then joins, giving us an even more expansive view into the failures of the Musk/Trump regime to actually weed out the “$1 trillion” in “waste, fraud, and abuse” they claim to be going after, with the alleged $55 billion in progress they've made so far undermined by the fact it's only $8 million, before touching on the problem of relying on legal and constitutional strategies after decades of conservatives packing our courts. Expanding on this latter point, Pancotti and Emma dive deep into the Democratic Party's – particularly leadership's – ongoing failure to appropriately message the threat and devastation posed by the Musk/Trump regime, with a refusal to highlight the efforts to cut YOUR benefits and steal YOUR data to give more money and more power to the wealthiest man in the world and his billionaire buddies, not to mention their long-lasting refusal to present an alternative affirmative vision to this ideology of destruction. Tyler Vasseur then walks Emma through the recent decision by Postmaster General Louis DeJoy to step down from his post, exploring DeJoy's nomination under Trump 1.0 to spearhead an effort to privatize the USPS, Biden's decision to keep him on, and why it was his failure to privatize fast enough that led him to get pushed out, and what that could mean for the future of the institution. Next, Vasseur dives deep into the National Association of Letter Carrier's historic “No” vote on a contract with USPS after nearly two years of negotiations, highlighting various failures in the agreement, including keeping wages in line with inflation. After expanding on the “Vote No” campaign efforts, Tyler unpacks why their biggest push in this bargaining process is for the right to strike, with the ongoing bargaining effort now lasting well over 600 days, wrapping up the show by highlighting coming rallies to support NALC's fight. And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by RM Brown as they talk with a 412 caller about his experience with a Democratic polling group, unpack the astonishingly pro-Israel history of Russell Brand, and explore the truly atrocious messaging on display by Democratic leaders Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries. Molly from Brooklyn discusses teaching journalism in the age of Trump and AI, Dylan from Atlanta touches on a new democratized social media project, and the MR Team looks at the most recent data disproving the right-wing crime narrative of the last two years, plus, your calls and IMs!

Ready to challenge your perspectives on government efficiency and economic resilience? Join us for a compelling conversation with Kerry Killinger, co-author of "Nothing is Too Big to Fail," as we question the true impact of federal workforce reductions on national unemployment and explore the potential fallout from dismantling entire departments like the Department of Education. With Washington, D.C. possibly facing significant consequences, we navigate the complex dynamics of federal employment and the conceivable shift of educational functions to state and local jurisdictions.Our discussion doesn't stop there. We tackle the bureaucratic inertia plaguing the United States Postal Service and ponder how public sector delivery could learn from the private sector's efficiency models. As we explore the potential of remote work and its implications on federal agency performance, we draw intriguing parallels with industry leaders like SpaceX and Amazon. The conversation delves into the military's use of technology, reimagining education with vouchers and charter schools, and the importance of measurable outcomes in government spending.In a broader economic context, we offer insightful analysis of current GDP growth, inflation, and the looming threat of economic bubbles. Examine the ripple effects of COVID-era federal spending, low savings rates, and rising credit card debt while considering the consequences of wealth transfer from baby boomers. We also highlight the transformative power of AI and quantum computing in driving productivity, advocating for policy decisions that foster innovation and economic growth. With a focus on staying competitive in a rapidly evolving landscape, we underscore the timeless value of marketable skills and financial prudence.Support the showEngage the conversation on Substack at The Common Bridge!

In-person early voting kicked off this weekend in Nevada, one of the key swing states that will decide the upcoming election. Like all the other major battlegrounds, polling averages show the race there between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump is a statistical dead heat. Four years ago, President Joe Biden won Nevada's six electoral votes by about 2.5 points. But Nevada is also a state where Republicans could chip away at the Democrat Party's historical advantage with two major voting blocs: union voters and Latino voters. Manuel Santamaria, the Nevada state director for the nonprofit Mi Familia Vota, talks about where things stand in the state with just about two weeks to go until Election Day.And in headlines: Trump waxed poetic about the late golfer Arnold Palmer's genitalia, Cuba suffered its worst blackout in decades, and letter carriers agreed to a tentative new contract with the United States Postal Service.Show Notes:Check out Mi Familia VotaSubscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday
