Ankarlo will be off again this week. Austin Hill, Rob Hunter, John Hook and Jim Sharpe will fill in. More updates will come as soon as I know more. Many of you are asking where Ankarlo is. Please understand that I’m not allowed to talk about his health. All I can tell you is that he is resting–it’s some of the best medicine for a brain injury.

Sen. McCain on with Ankarlo

rob — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 22:56:06 +0000

Sen. John McCain joined Ankarlo to preview President Barack Obama’s State of the Union speech. McCain called Obama’s spending freeze proposal, “window dressing.” He added that if the President if serious about ending earmarks he could bust out the veto pen and veto them all.

McCain also addressed the difference between torture and Mirandizing the attempted Christmas Day bomber. The Senator called it ‘crazy’ to Mirandize the attempted bomber after only 50 minutes of questioning. The suspect might have information about Al Qaeda and even Osama bin Laden.

Ankarlo asks McCain about J.D. Hayworth and his re-election for Senate. McCain told Darrell he wants to re-earn the trust of Arizona voters and he takes every campaign very seriously.

Thank you!

rob — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 23:43:57 +0000

Today, Ankarlo presented checks and cash worth over $5600 to Teri Frappier. Teri is Sgt. David Frappier’s wife. He was on leave from Afghanistan to see his daughter’s sweet 16 when his van was broken into. All of her birthday presents were stolen. All of his Christmas presents for their five children were also stolen.

Ankarlo and you were outraged. You responded. Thank you for everything you sent. There was a collection of cash, checks, gift cards and money orders. It will all help the Frappier family have a much Merrier Christmas. Sgt. Frappier has returned to Afghanistan. Before he left, he told us KTAR listeners have restored his Faith in humanity. From the bottom of our hearts, Thank you.

Today on Ankarlo Mornings: Afghan President Harmid Karzai says US help will be needed for 15 to 20 years. Isn’t that a bit too much? The TSA security somehow ended up online for the world to see. Great. Tiger Woods is trying to get his wife to sign a re-nup that would give her more money if she stays. And the food your children might be eating in school might not be that great for them.

He had an affair with Tiger too?

rob — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 20:45:16 +0000

Today on Ankarlo Mornings: Another 911 call from Tiger Woods’ house. His mother-in-law was rushed to the hospital, then released. Now, up to ten women admit to having an affair with Tiger Woods. Does the number of women make a difference? Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid compares opponents of the health care reform bill to supporters of slaverly. Ankarlo says he’s an idiot.

Tiger Woods statement

Pablo — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 22:32:10 +0000

I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart. I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves. I am not without faults and I am far short of perfect. I am dealing with my behavior and personal failings behind closed doors with my family. Those feelings should be shared by us alone.

Although I am a well-known person and have made my career as a professional athlete, I have been dismayed to realize the full extent of what tabloid scrutiny really means. For the last week, my family and I have been hounded to expose intimate details of our personal lives. The stories in particular that physical violence played any role in the car accident were utterly false and malicious. Elin has always done more to support our family and shown more grace than anyone could possibly expect.

But no matter how intense curiosity about public figures can be, there is an important and deep principle at stake which is the right to some simple, human measure of privacy. I realize there are some who don’t share my view on that. But for me, the virtue of privacy is one that must be protected in matters that are intimate and within one’s own family. Personal sins should not require press releases and problems within a family shouldn’t have to mean public confessions.

Whatever regrets I have about letting my family down have been shared with and felt by us alone. I have given this a lot of reflection and thought and I believe that there is a point at which I must stick to that principle even though it’s difficult.

I will strive to be a better person and the husband and father that my family deserves. For all of those who have supported me over the years, I offer my profound apology.

Ankarlo thought the Tiger Woods situation was interesting and not sure if it was a good idea for him not making a statement to police.Switzerland votes to ban Mosque Minarets, is that anti-mulsim? Ankarlo has a thought on that. And something fishy is going on with the Senate plans for a new Health Care Plan that gives someone more power then you think.

November 25, 2009

Darrin — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 00:18:59 +0000

Ankarlo on his thoughts about global warming and has a fun clip of Ed Begley jr. on Fox News defending global warming. Online shopping and Black Friday, are you crazy to do this?

Bribery anyone?

rob — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 21:26:29 +0000

Take a look at Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA).

Landrieu is a pretty moderate Democrat. She was waffling about the health care reform bill. That is–until the she was bribed. A provision was added to the health care bill that would effectively bring in $300 million for her home state of Louisiana. She’s not shy about it either. Isn’t it amazing?

Ankarlo is going to start a push to require Arizona to test older drivers to be sure they can actually drive. And could GM actually use bailout money in China?

What to do about Palin?

rob — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 21:48:40 +0000

Newsweek’s Cover: How Do You Solve A Problem Like Sarah? Yes. Ankarlo is talking Sarah Palin today. Her book hits shelves this week and news reports say it’s filled with inaccuracies. Who is telling the truth and can Palin be elected President?

Today on Ankarlo Mornings: During every dark time in America–there are heroes. At Fort Hood Sgt. Kimberly Munley was just that. She shot Nadil Hasan and her former partner, Investigator Shaun Appler joins Ankarlo. Anquan Boldin is a little ticked off because he was forced to sit out Sundays game against Chicago. Also, what are the Fry’s and Safeway Unions thinking about having a strike in the middle of a recession?

Heroism

rob — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 23:02:17 +0000

The attacks on Fort Hood were awful. But, when everything looks dark there always is a shining light. At Fort Hood that light came in the name of Sgt. Kimberly Munley. She shot Nadil Hasan stopping him from killing even more. Munley herself was shot three times. She fills the definition of a hero. Her former partner from the Wrightsville Beach, N.C. police deparment, Shaun Appler joined Ankarlo today. You can listen to the interview below.

Fort Hood attacks.

rob — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 00:59:44 +0000

It was a horror scene last Thursday as 13 U.S. soldiers were killed and another 30 plus were wounded. They were shot by a Muslim U.S. Soldier and some are condemning all Muslims. Ankarlo says he has questions about the Islamic faith just like you, but many are taking it too far.

Also, the House health care bill passed in the middle of the night Saturday. Ankarlo is glad the government is trying to reform health care, but this is not the right approach. He explains with some examples of things he has seen and been through over the past few months. And why was House Speaker Nancy Pelosi so giddy?

Monday Nov. 9, 2009

rob — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 00:40:21 +0000

Today on Ankarlo Mornings: The attacks on Fort Hood were done by a Muslim, but that doesn’t mean we should condemn all Muslims? The House passes a health care bill with one Republican voting for it. Speaker Nancy Pelosi says this is enough proof of bi-partisanship.

Wednesday Nov. 4, 2009

rob — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 00:52:32 +0000

Today on Ankarlo Mornings: Should the U.S. Welcome Sharia Law? This is based on a man who ‘allegedly’ ran over his own daughter in Peoria because she shamed her Muslim family. Ankarlo says this country is changing. Here’s another question: What has made American great over the past 230 plus years? Also, a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader dresses up as rapper Lil’ Wayne at a Halloween party. She’s in all kinds of trouble because she put black face on. Wasn’t she just dressed up as a character?

Ankarlo Wednesday

rob — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 22:54:58 +0000

Today on Ankarlo Mornings:

A Dallas Cowboy dresses up as rapper Lil Wayne for Halloween. She’s white. He’s black. She put black face on. She’s now in trouble. Ankarlo doesn’t think this should be a big deal because she is dressing as a character.

If you had to pick one thing that has made America great what would it be? Several answers come up.

Today on Ankarlo Mornings: Does anyone in Washington, D.C. repsent your values? Ankarlo is at a loss. What would you do if you car was speeding out of control and you had to stop it? A skin care product is using cells from aborted fetuses…Ankarlo says this is going too far.

Who represents us?

rob — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 20:55:00 +0000

It’s a simple question, but a serious one. Think about this. In Washington, D.C. who do you think represents you. Today is election day in several places around the country. At stake–a couple governorships and a US Congressional race.

The Congressional Race is happening in New York. The Republican candidate dropped out of the race and then endorsed the Democrat. Polls predict a win by a third party candidate. How does this affect you? This is a struggle for the soul of who represents you. This is about conservative values and what the GOP still stands for. Is it only the party of social values? Or is it a party of low taxes, small government and personal responsibility? Is it both? Are these values consistent with yours? That’s what we discuss today.

Today on Ankarlo Mornings: Is Obama running an all boys club? He’s only been golfing with one woman. A secretary in a school duct taped a child’s mouth and hands after he continued to act up. Also, can you be naked in your own house if someone can see you?

Ankarlo Monday

rob — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 23:03:34 +0000

Is Barack Obama running an all boys club in the White House?

A secretary duct tapes a kid’s mouth and hands because he keeps acting out. Did she go too far? Yes. But, what are educators supposed to do? And where is that line?

Also, a man has been arrested for being naked in his own house. Yes! Is this crazy or what? Well, the details of the story make it seem the man was standing in the doorway. Across the street from his home is a bus stop. A mom and her 7-year old saw him naked. Do they have a case?

Today on Ankarlo Mornings: The balloon boy incident was a hoax? Yes. Ankarlo says this was a great political stunt. Also, a couple is suing because they booked a room on a gay cruise. They say they weren’t told. One Halloween costume is causing a stir. It’s a space alien in an orange jumpsuit with illegal alien written on it. Hmm. Why are people so offended? Don’t we have something called the First Amendment?

Ankarlo Monday

rob — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 20:46:41 +0000

Today on Ankarlo Mornings:

Was the entire balloon boy incident a hoax? The Sheriff in charge of the investigation thinks so. Can you imagine forcing your kids to lie like that on national television in order to fulfill your dream of having your own reality TV show? Unbelievable.

Target has been under fire recently for a Halloween costume they have been selling. It’s an illegal alien costume complete with a space alien head mask, orange jump suit and green card. Because of public pressure Target has stopped selling the costume.

A couple is suing a cruise line because they were booked on a gay cruise. They say the cruise line should have told them before they bought their trip that they would be traveling with gay passangers. Do they have a case?

A couple has been allowing their son and his friends to build and use pipe bombs because they say it’s educational. Can you say dysfunctional?

Today on Ankarlo Mornings:

Has the American Flag become offensive? One apartment complex owner has told all residents to take down Old Glory. Why? Becuase they live in a ‘diverse’ community and some might find the Flag offensive.

Meanwhile, a 17-year old from New York has been suspended from school because he had a two-inch knife in his car. He kept it there just in case. He’s an Eagle Scout and has already completed Army basic training. None of that matters. It’s zero tolerance baby. Matthew Whalen also dreams of attending West Point. That dream might no longer happen because of this suspension.

You have to read this column. The author says America isn’t the greatest country in the world and certainly not the only country that has something to be proud of. Is he realistic or is he off the reservation?

Meanwhile, you can score one for common sense. A six-year old boy who brought a Cub Scout tool with a fork, spoon and a knife was originally suspended from school. He was ordered to attend an alternative school for 45 days. But, his suspension has been revoked and he will go back to his regular school starting this week.

The Senate is moving closer to passing a health care bill. With the help of one GOP Senator, Oympia Snowe, the bill passed the Senate Finance Committee. Sen. Snowe said yesterday, when history calls, history calls. Basically, this isn’t about doing what’s right. This is about adding her name to the history books.

Today on Ankarlo Mornings: Cheerleaders have been banned from holding up signs during football games that have Bible quotes on them. Ankarlo thinks the First Amendment is stronger than the Seperation of Church and State. Also, Ankarlo’s youngest, Katie has moved out. But, she has run out of money. So, should he keep helping her out or cut her off.

Today on Ankarlo Mornings:

Cheerleaders in Georgia have been banned from holding up signs at football games that quoted the Bible. Is this a First Amendment issue or does it violate the seperation of Church and State? Ankarlo sides on the side of the First Amendment.

Ankarlo’s youngest daughter Katie has moved out of the house. Now, Darrell is faced with a Catch-22. See, Katie has run out of money. Should Darrell give her some money or should be teach her a life lesson?

Also, Ankarlo has been watching a BBC documentary about the rise of Nazi Germany. He’s seeing parallels between Germany circa 1930’s and USA circa now. Are you concerned?

Today on Ankarlo Mornings: What happened in Sedona at the Sweat Lodge? Ankarlo tries to find some answers. Is Marge Simpson really in Playboy? Yes. Why, that’s just odd. Also today, should Ankarlo go to Rob’s destination wedding? And a six-year old has been suspended from school because he brought a Cub Scout tool containing a knife to school.

Today on Ankarlo Mornings:

What happened in the sweat lodge in Sedona? Why did two people die? There are more questions than answers right now. But, self-help author James Arthur Ray isn’t cooperating with authories. Is he to blame?

Ankarlo wants to know what in the world is Marge Simpson doing in Playboy?

Also, should Ankarlo spend money to go to Producer Rob’s wedding? He’s unsure.

Finally, a six-year old boy has been suspended from school because he brought a Cub Scout Tool to school. It had a knife on it. Apparently, zero-tolerance policies also mean zero-common sense policies.

Today on Ankarlo Mornings:

A ten-year old boy received a ticket for disrupting class. Not just a detention ticket–an actual ticket. Now, his mom has to pay $260. There’s just a lot wrong with this story.

Ankarlo talks to Digeo CEO Greg Gudorf today about his new HD DVR device, Moxi. Ankarlo has been testing this product and loves it.

Are you getting the swine flu vaccine? Ankarlo isn’t even though the government is trying to get him to.

Sheriff Joe and Homeland Security Sec. Janet Napolitano are fighting about illegal immigration. Apparently, she’s not going let Sheriff Joe cross train officers with ICE anymore. Why does the government make it so hard to let Sheriff Joe do his job?

Today on Ankarlo Mornings: Jon and Kate plus 8. They are getting a very public divorce. Do we like watching families fall apart? It seems that way. David Letterman was back on TV last night making fun of himself and apologizing to his staff. Ankarlo thinks he should have apologized to his wife too. Ankarlo spends a few minutes talking about Afghanistan–the US should either get out or fight the war to win it. Jim Roberts from the Heritage Foundation joins Darrell to talk about the demise of the US dollar. One newspaper is reporting the Arab World, China, Russia, Brazil and Japan are moving to get oil traded in an alternate currency. This could be a huge blow to the US.

Today on Ankarlo Mornings: Have you ever watched Jon and Kate plus 8? Jon and Kate were a regular family trying to raise 8 children together. Then everything fell apart. They are getting a very public divorce and battling it out over the airwaves? Ankarlo wonders why we like watching the demise of the American family…

David Letterman was on-air last night for the first time since he told the world he had affairs with several women on his staff. Last night he poked fun at himself, apologized to his staff and said he has a lot of work to do at home. Ankarlo noticed something was missing: an apology to his wife. Should he have on the show? Ankarlo thinks so.

Tomorrow marks the eight anniversary of the War in Afghanistan. That’s longer than World War II. There is much debate going on about what to do there. Should the US pull out? Should we send more troops? The Obama Administration is updating their strategy and goals as a few Generals debate it in public. Ankarlo says get the job done or get out. It’s pretty simple.

According to one newspaper, the Arab World has been holding secret meetings with China, Russia, Brazil and Japan to strike a blow to the US dollar. Ankarlo is worried about this. Think about it. We have spend billions of dollars buying Arab oil, enriching those countries beyond belief. Now, they would pull something like this. Oil countries are denying it of course, but is this a collaborated effort by the world to try and bring America down?

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.

Today on Ankarlo Mornings: Ankarlo reacts to Whoopi Goldberg’s take on Roman Polanski. She says it wasn’t “rape-rape.” Huh? Also, why a man was duct taped to a flag pole and the new gun laws go into effect in Arizona today. Are you carrying your gun into a restaurant?

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.

Today on Ankarlo Mornings: President Obama is calling for a long school year. Ankarlo disagrees saying we have to allow kids to be kids. 60 minutes released a poll saying the best symbol of America is Wal-Mart. Huh? How did that happen? Also, a gang murder is caught on tape in Chicago. But, don’t be fooled. Gangs are here in Phoenix. Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon explains what the city is doing to fight gangs. In Ankarlo’s final half hour…teens in prison being setenced to life without parole for non-murder offenses.

Today on Ankarlo Mornings: The priest, the stripper and their baby. No lie. It’s a true story out of Miami. Ankarlo believes the government might be hiding something in the Oklahoma City Bombing case. Rob and Diane aren’t necessarily buying it. Iran is acting up. Ankarlo plays the president and explains how he would handle it. And an 8 month old baby died after being put down for a nap in a bathtub. Should the mother be charged?

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.

Today on Ankarlo Mornings: Is Glenn Beck bad for conservatives? Ankarlo doesn’t think so, others do. A woman was implanted with the wrong embryo and now she is being forced to give up the baby. Wow. Who should keep the baby? Also, Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon blames the media for Phoenix’s lack of conventions and John Edwards is among the worst human beings on the planet.

Today on Ankarlo Mornings:

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.
