Ankarlo: Mon Nov 26, 2007

Ankarlo is back in studio today and comes back without skipping a beat. 

Over the weekend, the New York Times ran a piece about the Iraq War.  The title of the article is, As Democrats See Security Gains in Iraq, Tone Shifts.  Wait, this was in the New York Times?  This surprises me for a couple of reasons.  One, the Times is admitting there is good news out of Iraq and second, it is acknowledging the Democrats “evolving” positions.  Remember when they hit President George W. Bush with those some charges several months ago?  Darrell takes this on today on Ankarlo Mornings and also manages to praise Sen. John McCain’s continued support of the Iraq War.

In Suprise, a tennis teacher has been fired because he was looking at inappropriate websites.  Geoff Mena says this isn’t accurate.  See, Mena used to work in the adult entertainment industry and even appeared in a couple movies.  He fully disclosed when he was interviewing for his job in Suprise.  Mena has also said his face can’t be seen in any adult movies, but he did website development for several adult and non-adult companies.  He also says he was showing another co-worker some of his website development “code” and was fired for this.  Mena says he never looked at any nude images or showed another worker them.  He was merely showing a co-worker how he set up a couple websites.  Ankarlo says Mena was given a raw deal.

Over the weekend, counter protestors showed up outside Pruitt’s Furniture to help them ward off the “immigration rights” protestors.  Darrell talkes to Mike Sensing from Pruitt’s and also talks to Stacey O’Connell from the Patriots Border Alliance.  Both say, they are trying to protect the business at Pruitt’s. 

In the final hours, Darrell slams several British women for saying they aren’t going to have kids because they are eco-friendly.  So when did eco-friendly become anti-kid?  The women says kids only consume more of our limited resources.  Oh boy.

 Also, Darrell talks to Col. Randall Larsen, author of Our Own Worst Enemy about the security changes at Fort Huachuca.  FBI documents say terrorists from Iraq and Afghanistan were going to pay Mexican drug dealers $20,000 to sneak them across the border with weapons.  The weapons included high powered rifles, anti-tank weapons and rocket propelled grenades.  It’s just a reminder that there are still those who want to kill us.

Today is a sad day for Darrell. His oldest brother George, his hero, passed away over the weekend. Darrell wrote an article about the influence George has had over his life in Phoenix magazine a couple of months ago. You can read it here.  Darrell also pays tribute to George at the end of today’s show…

On today’s show, Darrell talks about the case of Julie Myers.  Who is she?  Well, she was up for the top job at Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).  That is until she judged a Halloween costume contest and awarded the most original costume to a man wearing dreadlocks, dressed in a prison outfit and darker skin.  Now, she is under fire.  Is she a racist?  Or is this just an excuse the Democrats are using because she is former chairman of Joint Chiefs Gen. Richard Myers?  Ms. Myers also is married to John Wood, who used to be Homeland Security Director Michael Chertoff’s chief of staff.

Talk the Vote:  Robert Novak says his sources tell him Sen. Hillary Clinton has “scandalous” information about Sen. Barack Obama.  The source also told Novak, they weren’t going to use it.  Obama responded by saying, “don’t swift boat me.”  In Iowa residents have been recieving phone calls knocking Gov. Mitt Romney’s religion.  Others have received calls saying they shouldn’t vote for Sen. John Edwards because he isn’t home taking care of his wife while she has cancer.

The Boston Police Department has a new program to get guns of the street.  They will be knocking on people’s doors to ask if they can search their kids rooms without a warrant.  Well, at least they will ask permission.  How far do we go for safety? Is this just another example of losing our rights?  Darrell says the mission might be right, but there is room to worry.

Ankarlo has already x-ed out McCain from his Presidential list. Now, it’s Sen. Barack Obama that has been crossed off. Last night, at the CNN Democratic Debate Obama fumbled when asked by Wolf Blitzer about drivers licenses for illegal immigrants. First of, Obama supports giving illegals licenses. Secondly, he didn’t really answer the question as to why he supports it. Watch for yourself as Ankarlo discusses.

Illegal immigration has become the most explosive issue in the country today. Think about all that has happened recently. There has been numerous crime stories related to the problem. Illegal immigrant rights activists have taken to the streets by the hundreds of thousands across the country. The Senate or the House can’t even secure our border. Drugs are rolling into the States via Mexico by the hundreds of pounds. It goes on and on. And then there is the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) that could lead to a North American Union sometime as early as the next generation. We could all be spending “ameros” instead of dollars and looking more and more like the European Union. Darrell says he worries about his grandkids. They could very much grow up in a much different American than the one we grew up in. Their future depends on what we do right now.

Ankarlo has a couple of places to start. Repeal the 14th Amendment, put a stop to ALL immigration for five years (you can thank illegal immigrants for that) and close the border.

Coming up later this morning…Now that Barry Bonds has been indicted on perjury charges, should we start the process of removing his records?

Is there a ghost in a Houston implosion? Or is that a missing person?

Would you sell your vote? 66% of NYU students would sell their right to vote in 2008 for a year of free tuition. At NYU, tuition and fees comes close to 35K per year. If you had a price, what would it be? If someone gave you a million dollars would you give up voting forever?

In Washington today, the Senate voted to reject another Iraq war funding bill with a timetable attached to it. This marks the 41st time a timetable measure has failed. You think they would get the point already! The House passed the same bill yesterday, but once again, it won’t make it to the President’s desk.

It’s another busy Ankarlo Mornings loaded up with guests and topics no a Red V. Blue Thursday.  Darrell starts with a couple of updates from yesterday’s show.  Sen. John McCain talks more about his response to the b&#$!question.  And Sen. Hillary Clinton finally clarifies her stance on letting illegal immigrants have drivers licenses.   She says no the same day NY Governor Eliot Spitzer says he will not push to allow illegals to have the licenses.

Also, Darrell talks to Kathleen Willey, author of Target.  She says she was groped by President Bill Clinton.  Her new book details her claims.

Fritz Wenzel from Zogby International joins Darrell to give us the latest poll numbers out of Iowa, New Hampshire and around the country.  Is Congressman Ron Paul really making a move?  And how about Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee?

In this weeks debate, Arizona Representative Kyrsten Sinema is supporting New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson for President.  Greg Patterson from Espresso Pundit thinks she is nuts. 

In the final hour of the show, Darrell talks for Former FBI Agent Jack Cloonan about the Chandler rapist case.  Why would the Chandler police plea on television to have the suspect turn himself in?
