Ankarlo Monday
October 5, 2009
Oh boy David Letterman what are you saying? On Thursday he told a little story about having sex with women in his office. Ankarlo says so what. He wasn’t married. Even if he did have a live-in girlfriend–there was no commitment.
The Olympics goes to Rio. Even Obama couldn’t seal the deal for his adopted hometown. Did Anti-American sentiment have anything to do with this? Ankarlo thinks that played a little role.
Man, the Arizona Republic really is trying to get one over on Sheriff Joe. There new story says Sheriff Joe used seized money to buy the Sheriff’s department vehicles. Sheriff Joe says isn’t it better than using tax payer money? Ankarlo agrees with the Sheriff on this one.
Finally, an Arizona National Guardsman and Phoenix police officer has fallen in Afghanistan. Staff Sgt. Thomas Rabjohn, thank you.
Ankarlo Wednesday

Wednesday on Ankarlo Mornings:
Did you hear what Whoopi Goldberg said about Roman Polanski? She says it wasn’t “rape rape.” Then what was it? Ankarlo reacts to this strongly. He thinks she’s lost it. Watch the clip.
So a drunk man goes to a VFW and tries to order a drink. He’s denied. The man gets mad and burns the flag outside the VFW. The VFW commander finds the man tells him he needs to make up for his sins. The unnamed man agreed to be duct taped to the flag pole for six hours.
Also, new gun laws go into effect in Arizona today. Are you bringing your gun to your favorite restaurant? Remember you can only carry it in if the weapon is concealed.
Ankarlo Tuesday
September 29, 2009
Today on Ankarlo Mornings:
President Obama is calling for year round schooling. Ankarlo says this is a bad idea. First of, we don’t let kids be kids anymore. Second, can we even afford a longer school year? Third, more school days doesn’t guarantee anything. Let’s make the most out of our current system.
CBS released results from a new poll. It’s very interesting. Most people say something that most symbolizes America is Wal-Mart. And more people would want to trade places with George Clooney for a week and Barack Obama (but just barely). Who really wants to be President for a week? But, what should really be the symbol of America? Can you think of anything better?
Gang violence in Chicago is nothing new. But, last week someone captured video of an honor’s student being beaten to death. It’s now all over the media. The story is just awful. How does that relate to Phoenix? Mayor Phil Gordon joins Ankarlo to talk about the success Phoenix has had fighting gangs.
Here’s another one: Should teenagers convicted of crimes (that aren’t murder) be put in jail for life? The Supreme Court will determine if these sentences amount to cruel and unusual punishment. Ankarlo weighs in too.
Glenn Beck on Ankarlo’s Return

Ankarlo Mornings Wednesday
September 23, 2009
Carolyn Savage went through in vitro fertilization. Her and her husband Sean were thrilled to be having another baby. Then, they were told they were having another couple’s baby. The lab really messed up on this one. What would you do if this was you?
Glenn Beck isn’t shy when it comes to speaking out. No surprise there. But, Joe Scarborough says he is giving conservatives a bad name and they have to speak out against him. Ankarlo responds. He says Beck is a friend of his and you ultimately have to decide whether you believe what he says or not.
Do you know who MacKenzie Phillips is? Rob doesn’t. But, needless to say her story is interesting. He father was the lead singer of the Mama’s and the Pappa’s. They had an incestous affair and he shot her up with drugs the first time. Can anyone say weird? Odd? Strange? Bizzare? Yes. Of course, Phillips is trying to sell copies of a book. Now is as good a time as any to tell the truth.
Rasmussen has a new poll out. Americans are ruder than ever.
And what about John Edwards. This guy is unbelieveable. At first, he denied having an extra martial affair while his wife is dying of cancer. Then he admits it. But, while admitting it he was still lying about fathering Rielle Hunter’s love child. It’s an amazing story simply because John Edwards told how many lies with a straight face.

August 5, 2009
Producer Rob here. I’ve seen Ankarlo twice in the past couple weeks. He’s looking really good and has made significant progress. He should return to work sooner rather than later. We still aren’t sure on a date though. I will keep you updated.
