Ankarlo: Fri Nov 16, 2007

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.

Ankarlo: Thurs Nov 8

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.
