Ankarlo: Mon Nov 12, 2007

Happy Veterans Day.  You should take a few minutes and thank some Veterans  today because of the great sacrafices they have made.  They carry both the heavy load and the heavy burden for us all.  Thank you all who have served us.

Today on Ankarlo Mornings, Darrell chats with Former US Ambassador to the U-N, John Bolton.  Bolton has been outspoken about the United Nations, Iran and North Korea.  But, he also took some shots and his friends Secretary of State Condeleeza Rice and President George Bush.  You must listen to this!

Also, Darrell talks to wealth advisor Michael P. Black about real estate, 401K’s and your finances.  If you listen to the news, they keep telling you to prepare for the worst.  Black helps make sense of it all.

In the final hour of the show, Darrell says it’s too easy to get divorced.  Especially, since Broward County Florida has moved divorce petitions online.  Ankarlo also pays tribute to Veterans on their day.

Ankarlo: Fri Nov 8, 2007

We have all heard who the Chandler rapist is.  The Chandler Police Department has described the suspect as a hispanic male based on descriptions from his victims.  But, Myra Nieves, Vice President of spanish radio 1190 thinks this is profling and wants it to stop.  They claim they sent a letter to the police asking them to not refer to him as “hispanic.”  Ankarlo thinks this is about the most ridiculous think he has heard.  If the suspect is hispanic, call him so.  If the subject is white, call him so.  If the subject is black, call him so.  Are we going to have have to describe suspects now as a person, between 5 and 7 feet tall, weighing somewhere between 100 and 400 pounds?  Political correctness could destroy us all. Myra Nieves from 1190AM even calls into Ankarlo Mornings to explain her point of view. Then hangs up on Ankarlo. It’s a must listen!

Veteran’s Day is on Sunday.  And it startling that one of every four homeless are Veterans.  How can this happen in the USA?  We send men and women off to fight battles and don’t care for them when we come back.  They see things we can’t even dream of seeing.  We’ve all looked the other way for too long.  It’s time to help.  Thankfully there are groups like US Vets that are doing great work.  Darrell talks to Steve Peck from that organization today to see what we can do to help. He also talks to Daniel Borochoff from The American Insitute Of Philanthropy.  His group rates charities to determine how much charitable giving they actually do.  You wouldn’t believe how some ”charities” work.  Some of the charity heads are living lavishly.  It’s stunning.  Let’s do what we can to help.  Soldiers Angels is another place to help.

Ankarlo Mornings 8-08-07

Wednesday August 8, 2007:  Barry Bonds hits record homerun number 756.  Darrell doesn’t think Bonds’ new record is tainted.  What about you?  Did you watch the new game show the Power of ten?  If that was rigged would it make you mad?  Ankarlo wouldn’t be.  We have also come to a place in society where just about anything said in the office could be considered sexual harrassment.  What if the roles are reversed and the man was the one getting harrassed?  In the final hour of the show, Darrell talked about HireAHero.com.  It’s a program designed to help military veterans find jobs after they serve.  Finally, White House Spokesman Tony Snow was interviewed by NBC about his cancer.  Darrell finishes the show with some thoughts about his friend.
