Did the Chandler rapist strike again? Police searched a home this morning after a man was spotted by a 15 year old in her bedroom. The man fled the scence. Police then blocked off the area, but ended the search just before 9 this morning. No suspect was caught. So Ankarlo asks if we should give some sort of amnesty for illegal immigrants who help catch the suspect?

As FM News/Talk 92.3 KTAR has been reporting today, illegal immigration is one of the hottest topics in the country and certainly here in the Valley. A temporary worker was been arrested at Saguaro High School for taking underskirt pictures of high school girls. Ricardo Espinoza-Valdez is in this country illegally having overstayed his work visa. In addition, 23 workers at Chicago’s O’Hare airport have been arrested for being in the country illegally. Yes, at an airport. Let’s not forget the columnist who writes for the Miami Herald saying the constant banter about illegal immigration could lead to an uprising in the USA similar to the intifada in Israel.

There is a lot of negative news coming out about the US economy right now. The value of the dollar is falling, the price of oil hovers near $100 a barrell, we are still in the middle of a subprime mortgage mess and the fear is the cosumers will stop spending. Bloomberg Business Reporter, Ben Farnsworth stops in the explain.

It’s a Red V. Blue Thursday!  What does that mean?  Every Thursday we will be engaging in a debate.  Because we are committed to bringing you the best election coverage in Phoenix we will present one Democrat and one Republican to verbally duke it out (hence the Red V Blue).  This week Arizona State Rep. David Schapira with Arizonans for Sen. Barack Obama will debate with Congressman Ron Paul (and internet phenom)’s Communications Director, Jesse Benton.  Congressman Paul hasn’t been faring well in the polls, but has been raising a ton of money on the internet (including a record $4.2 million in one day).  The latest polls show Sen. Obama running neck and neck against Sen. Hillary Clinton in Iowa.  Obama has also been dogged by questions of experience on the trail.  Let the debate begin!

He drives a Rolls Royce, but he is a Minister.  Pastor Creflo Dollar says the car was purchased by his followers.  Sen. Charles Grassley says this isn’t cool.  He wants to look into Dollar’s and other ministries tax exempt status.  Would you go to a Church if you knew the minister was driving fancy cars, living in a big house, or sitting on a 25K toilet?

Obviously, there has been tons of news out of China.  There have been toys tainted with lead and GHB (the date rape drug), vinyl-made baby bibs, the list goes on and on.  So it is time to put country-of-origin labels on everything we buy?  The Associate Director of CATO’s Center for Trade Policy Studies, Dan Ikenson, drops in to tell Darrell we don’t need more regulations.  Darrell also talks to Roger Simmermaker who runs a website dedicated to buying American made products.  It’s all about choice.
