Hey everyone, it's Graham Platner. It's long, farewell, I'll be to say goodbye. It's time for the Howie Car Show. We are suspending campaign operations. This is incredibly difficult because I know that some will think it's an admission of guilt, and it most certainly is not. I'm so not a raper. Goodbye now. I thought the party was divine. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Thank all of you. It's Howie Car. Welcome to the Howie Car Show. 844-542-8-44-5-400-42. As Frank Sinatra once sang, So I'm Down and So I'm Out. So I'm down and so I'm out.

1:18

So they're putting signs up about me in every porta potty in Maine. And they've given me the bums rush like I'm Eric Swalwell. Life is like the seasons. Blah, blah, blah. He is a good young. A very good young. That's from his mother. His mater. At least he still got the trust fund. He still got the house. Daddy bought him. Is his wife still on Medicaid? Oh, that's right. But at least she didn't get prosecuted for the Medicaid problem that she had. Sometimes you just forget to put down that you got married to somebody, especially if, you know, your husband's too busy texting texting other women on the kick app. You know, I've often said that F. Scott Fitzgerald said a century ago now just about. There are no second acts in American life. And I didn't think that's true. But sometimes his words still ring true today. And I don't think there's going to be a second act in American life for Graham Platner, at least not in politics. Maybe, you know, maybe he can, you know, George Foreman had grills. You know, Joe DiMaggio had Mr. Coffee. Maybe Graham Platner can have porta-potties. I don't know. 508. We get the perfect candidate, and he bleeps us. I'm so disappointed. I know. We all are. We all are. But, you know, you can't win them all. And, you know, it is, it's still enjoyable to see the Democrats. Now they're saying, well, you know, we suspect that something was wrong. Or there's.

3:11

There's so many, so many funny things. Why didn't they know something? They know something. What do you mean they, Kemosabi? You know, why, uh, why didn't you, uh, why didn't you, uh, why didn't you know? And I like the crack journalist, the elite journalists who now say that we were sold a bill of goods. Really, why are you an elite journalist if you believe that this guy was anything? I mean, you couldn't see this, you couldn't see through this guy the first time you saw him, he's claiming to be a working class guy from the Hotchkiss school? Are you kidding me? 844-542 42 what a what a bunch of buffoons 844 500 and now they want now they're angry they now they're angry that he still that he that he hasn't gone away These are the people who promoted him, and now it's his fault that he's been busted. This is Chelly Pingree, the congresswoman from the first, the Southern District in Maine. Her daughter is the Democrat nominee against Bobby Charles for governor. And she's angry about what's happening. Cut 33. Just stay away and stop writing all your dumbass columns on the internet and telling us what we should be doing. Don't call me anymore. I don't want to hear your ideas about, you know, why we're not doing it well enough. And, you know, that's just, that's just not how we do it here. And Devin made a really good point. We're independent. We don't like to be told what to do. And we're not stupid. Yeah, bleep those 154,000 Mainers. Granted, low IQ, but do they have in any lower IQ than Shelley Pingree or the main party executive director, Devin Murphy Anderson? The audacity of these people to now cite democracy for throwing this guy under the bus. I mean, he's as loathsome as they come. But, you know, he's your loathsome. Nazi rapist. He doesn't belong to any of us. He's your guy. You're the one who promoted him. Mistikes were made. Mistikes were made. And this is that woman, Devin Murphy hyphen Anderson, the executive director of the man. And I get compliments on the hyphen.

5:51

They had to, you know, like the generals in Vietnam, they had to destroy the village in order to save it. They had to destroy the village in order to save the will of the people in order to save the will of the people in Maine. Much like in 2024 with Kamala Harris. Much like in 2020 or 2021 when they got rid of Andrew Cuomo in New York. Much like... Earlier this year when they got rid of Eric Swalwell, all of these people richly deserve to be given the bum's rush, but you're supposed to do it in an election, not because you're going to lose. They didn't care how bad he was until they realized he was going to lose. This is the Democrat, the Democrat executive director in Maine, Devin Murphy Anderson. You thought she was obnoxious yesterday? She's just as obnoxious today. Cut 32. And it also requires us to participate in a process that is inclusive and transparent and representative and fair. So if I'm in Maine tonight, I'm a state legislator or I'm a farmer and I think this is my moment. I'm going to step forward. I'm going to run for this. What do I do? What's the process? Well, there's process, details coming, forthcoming. We convene special meetings of both our executive committee and our democratic statement. Those two committees together make up the governing body of the main Democratic Party. I'm very excited and proud to share. I thought the people ruled. The process that we have put in place to convene a nominating convention was voted on by those main Democrats. The details are forthcoming. We are seeing folks that are going to be doing media and press tonight, tomorrow, opening exploratory committees. Those folks are going to be running a campaign, and we really encourage people to do that. We are, of course, going to require folks to talk to Maine voters in some way that's going to qualify them to be our U.S. Senate nominee beyond just declaring their intent. What that will most likely look like is petition collection from Maine Democratic voters across the state. How about running in the primary? Huh? How about taking on Janet Mills, the ancient wretched governor and the Nazi rapist? And the other guy named Costello. I don't even know who he is. 844-542. So now we have the hindsight as 2020 crew. Mondare Jay Jones. Mondeer Jay Jones. I think he wasn't, I don't, I barely recall it. They knocked off a couple of black guys in the last, in the last go-around. Jamal Bowman and Mondeer Jay Jones. Was Mondeer Jay Jones with the gay guy that got knocked off? I can't remember. Anyway, but he's now, now he is a, he has an amazing ability to, to understand what happened. And.

8:59

He doesn't understand why anyone else couldn't have seen it coming. 31. Taking a step back, anyone with half a brain could have seen this thing coming. Okay, this was a car accident waiting to happen. How many pieces of evidence did we need to understand that Graham Platner should not be the Democratic nominee in this U.S. Senate race? Okay. How was the Nazi tattoo not enough? How was the fabrication of his biography not enough? How were the other credible allegations of sexual assault? in the months leading up to this latest discovery, not enough. I mean, this is extraordinary. As he put it, anyone with half a brain could have seen this. Unfortunately for Mondare Jay Jones and the Democrat Party, they were dealing with Democrats. So none of them had half a brain, apparently. And the ones that did were biting their tongues, except for one guy, John Fetterman. He was the only guy who was saying anything. 508 says primaries? We don't need no stinking primaries? 207, they're floating Troy Jackson as Graham Platner's replacement. He is just as freaking bad. Yeah, there were stories that he threw a bottle of water at one of his colleagues when he was the, I guess, president of the Senate. Isn't that what Chris Christie did in New Jersey? He had an aide, this fairly good-looking woman who was indicted for Bridgegate. And he got mad at her in the governor's office in Trenton and threw a bottle of water at her. And he was the worst guy in the world. This guy is just a, he's a working class hero. Did you see what he claims to? He went for governor and lost. He claimed to be a logger. A lot. Did he log for his mom's house? L-O-G-G-E-R. I mean, I think they meant to spell it L-A-G-E-R. Isn't that one of the things that got Graham Platner into so much trouble was he was drinking a little bit too much logger after midnight when he was posting to Reddit? I don't think they need any more people that, you know, that throw or allegedly throw bottles of water at women and drink a lager to excess. 844-542-508. If this keeps up, Susan Collins can run as a real conservative.

11:27

844, 500. It would take a heart of stone not to laugh at what's going on at this meltdown. And again, they're all going to, whoever gets it, they're going to swoon over them, you know? You know it. Graham Platner. These are the tastiest oysters I've ever had. I actually read that a month or so ago, and some beta mail, transitioning beta mail who went to Brown, who had a goatee, went up there and wrote a story for GQ or one of those magazines. 844-542. I'm Howie Car. Bye-bye. Howie Car will return. Howie Car is back. Today's poll question is brought to you by Manzi Appraisers and Restoration in Woburn. Whether you need a professional appraisal for insurance, estate planning, or just curiosity's sake, the Manzi team does it right with integrity. Learn more at Manziapraisers.com.

So 7-8-1 says, we understand you will not be discussing Iran, not because you want to give it a good leaving alone, but because it's just so rhetorical now. I beg your pardon. Jared, what is the poll question and what are the results thus far? Today's poll question, which you can vote in at Howie Car Show, is what should the U.S. do next with Iran? Agree to another phony baloney ceasefire. Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, I ran, or I can't make up my mind. Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb. 95% of the audience agrees with you. Bomb, bomb, bomb. 4% say they can't make up their mind, and 1% says agree to another phony baloney ceasefire. Good. 844-542. Mike, you're next with Howie Carr. Go ahead, Mike. Howie, we're once again worried about your health and well-being concerning what happened in the great state of Maine last night that you may have reconstructed aorta allegatory or in layman's terms. Does your heart feel like an alligator? You know, actually, Mike, I'd be feeling better if he was hanging in there and keeping them on tether hooks. And he hasn't officially withdrawn yet, by the way. He's just announced that he's going to do it. I hope he just drags it out. happened when I stepped out on my porch just as they announced, you know, what they did, whatever video we put up. And my next door neighbors are like 50, 60 feet away. The windows were open on beautiful night. They had their MS now on, and it was pretty loud. And they were screaming out, oh, no, and we're going to lose it all this fall. But I think they made a special trip to the cannabis canteen of the afternoon maybe thinking this. Because what was billing out of that house? 50 feet away was giving me a contact tie. I had to get back at my house. You know, weed sales have been down pretty much across the board, but in Maine, I'm sure they're back, because people are trying to drown their George Soros. Although I think it just makes it, I think weed makes it worse, you know, when you're down and out. That's psychosis. But, you know, again, anyone with half a brain would know that, as Mandar Jay Jones said. But these are Democrats, so they don't have half a brain. Thanks for the call, Mike. 844, 500, 4242.42. So this is Senator Elizabeth Warren. Another flashback here. You can't go wrong. The fake Indian rescinded her endorsement. You might call her an Indian giver. Cut 34. Graham Platner is the real deal. He's a fighter, and he's ready to take that fight to Washington. Graham Platner has the grit to go against the brain and to fight for what is right. That's the energy, that's the fighting spirit that the Democratic Party needs now more than ever. She speak them with forked tongue. Senator Ted Cruz, will your Democrat colleagues be apologizing for selling us this bad medicine? Cut 20. The chances that Bernie Sanders apologizes, as John Fetterman called on him to do.

16:20

I think are 0.0%. Bernie's not going to apologize. Chuck Schumer's not going to apologize. I agree with you there. I agree with you there. Elizabeth Warren is definitely not going to apologize. They are perfectly fine. Sheldon. White House is not going to apologize. None of them care. It is all about power. It is all about their ability to be in power, and it doesn't matter. They are, look, you want to know what the Democrats' message from this cycle is. Elizabeth Warren put it best. That's my kind of man. It's pretty accurate, isn't? Limerick guy says, Laiwatha is back on the trail of tears after her kind of man had to drop out. Yeah. 844-542-402-207 says, driving around Bangor today, the platinum signs disappeared overnight quicker than the free needle handouts across the street from the police station.

17:26

844-542, Andrew. I'll bet they're promising platinum the job of ambassadors to Germany if the Democrats take the presidency in 28. Maybe he could become the ambassador of Paraguay. Isn't that where most of the Germans really went after World War II? Your papers, please. I know some of them went to various other countries. I think the top ones got away to Paraguay, and I don't think they ever captured all of them either. 844-542. It's just, it's so funny here that this is going on. Senator John Fetterman, let's go out with Senator John Fetterman, cut 19. You've been unflinching in your scorn for Graham Platner. The same cannot be said, can I, let me ask you, the same cannot be said about the leaders of your party. Oh, yeah, absolutely, yeah. Like, what, what Democrats, you know, like, saw in that trash bag? What, what did they see in this guy? Was it the Nazi tattoo? Was the gross messages online, the way he, the way he roughs up women? And now, like, what's, what's, you know, like, Why did you go in on this dirt bag? But, yeah, it's like, this is your legacy, P-Hustle, and now, adios, trash bag. Pehustle. He was the only one Republican or Democrat to call him by his online moniker. I'm Howie Car.

18:59

Live from the Burnah Less Lethal Pistol Pistol Studio, it's Howie Carr. 844-542. 42. So much great sound here today. So much more amusing stuff. They are hoist on their own partard. And I will replay the Janet Mills clip from the airport later on. We just retweeted it out again. So you can see if you just go at a Howie Car show, you can see it. Susie Q, you're next with Howie Car. Go ahead, Susie Q. Last night, I was in my 68 Mustang, had come back from the cemetery, and I was downtown Ellsworth, and there was no traffic. And I looked over, and there was a camera guy, and Graham Platner, right in front of his, you know, where they have his office, right there by the bridge. I whipped that Mustang around so fast. Roll my window down, had the window down, had my trump hat on, went by real slow, and I holl and whiz the partner party! The only thing is I hope they didn't take a picture, because I didn't have my front teeth in, I forgot them. But anyway, they were really told me a main event. You're one of those rural Mainers. You're just a racist and a bigot and stupid. That's what he said about you. I was out to traffic light and it fell right in. Oh my God, this is perfect. I said, not one car. And they looked at me as if like, what? I was waving that trumpet. You could have made my day. I wonder if his mom's restaurant is going to have a happy hour special on oysters tonight. You know, an extra, you know, a buck and oyster tonight for it to celebrate. Thanks for the call, Susie Q. 844-542-42. Let's play some Graham Platner cuts from last night from when he was making his speech. This is my favorite. This is right at the top. And again, it ran 11 minutes. I mean, come on. You know. Brevity is the soul of wit. I guess you didn't learn that at the crotch kiss school when you were a working class hero. But, you know, brevity is the soul. You've got to keep it short. Keep it short and simple, stupid. Went 11 minutes and 15 seconds. Cut one. This is all false. The things that have been claimed did not happen. It's not real.

21:49

It is placed an immense amount of weight. On me. Boo-hoo-hoo. It's false. It's not real. Cut 29, Jenny Racich, cut. You normally use protection. Yeah. And this time, he didn't. And you didn't want that. No. And he didn't care. No, I don't think. My words were falling on deaf ears or drunk ears. And you were still saying, don't do this, or I'm not into this? I remember specifically him, like, grabbing at my chest, and I, like, hit his hand, and I said, don't touch me. Cut three. It was not remotely true. I learned about this through press inquiries. with no time to truly respond, no time for investigations before a corporate media system and the political establishment got to act as judge, jury, and executioner. Accusations are supposed to be the beginning of things, not the end. Sometimes the fault, de Brutus is not in the stars. but in our own porta-potties. So he says it's all false. Here's Lindsay Feifield, the Republican accuser, cut 30. When Jenny told her story, what, if anything, aligned with your experiences? The eyes. The dead eyes? Or he couldn't hear your protests. I just know exactly what that looks like. I know exactly what it looks like. And it's, that is something that I feel like people need to understand is it was almost like looking at like a pit bull where they just, there's, it's nothing, like not just nothing, but like a capacity for violence. And you see it. And you know it's there and it's terrifying. Cut four. It's not the false allegations, though, that have brought us to where we are. It's the fact that they are being used by the political establishment to put structural pressure on us. We live in a political system that is not built for normal people. He's a normal person. How normal are you, Graham? Cut to. Amy and I are regular people. We were not looking for this experience. We were not looking to get into politics. We had no desire to run for office. I just want you to think about what you would do as a regular person. He's a regular person. He's a normal person. He's a, he's a normal person. He's a people person. Neil, you're next with Highway Car. Go ahead, Neil. Hey, Howie? How you doing? Good. I'm wondering, one, after listening to all that, whether they're going to prosecute him up there in Maine, do you think? Prosecute him from... Those women are pretty credible. They are, but, no, they're...

25:22

No, they're not going to do anything to him. Lindsay Fifeield, anyway, what he did to her, he did in D.C., outside of Maine. And I don't think, I don't think Jenny is going to, I don't think they would prosecute him. They're not going to prosecute his wife for, you know, they've been investigating her for Medicaid fraud. There's a Democrat get out of jail free card, Neil, and that's the way it works. I mean, he's nothing's going to happen to him. I mean, he's just, he's been disgraced, but I don't even know if he's that, if he's possible to, to disgrace him. I mean, he didn't even need a payoff because his parents support him. And he has a house that's paid for by his dad, the lawyer. You know, his grandfather was a world-renowned architect. He went to an exclusive, you know, $80,000 a year prep school. Thanks for the call, Neil. So, no, nothing's going to happen to him. John, you're next with Howie Carr. Go ahead, John. Hey, How are you doing today? Good. I'm a sanitation engineer up here in Midcoast, Maine. And today, unfortunately, that's the bad news. I had to dump a trash can and was the first Graham Platner sign was thrown out. It's a sad dad. I thought you were going to say you were taking them off of porta-potties. No, I did use one to see if any... They didn't say Graham Platner was here. I'm sure people had ordered those things to put in Port-a-Potties. Graham Platner was here. And now they're for not. It's one of those things, you know. You've got to move quickly. Thanks for the call, John. Eight-four. You know the weirdest thing he said, though? Considering what we know about him, what the charges are against him, what he said he did in the porta-potty, what he's talked about on the Reddit when he was drunk. But listen, this is a really weird thing to say, and I don't really want to think that much about it, but I want to play it. Cut nine. I love this state. I love Maine, and I love Mainers in ways that I can't really describe. How about non-consensual? Is that a good way to describe it? 617. He blames the corporate media, i.e. the Democrat elites. Exactly. Exactly. He's pointing fingers at his own people. The people who propped up his improbable preposterous candidacy, he's now complaining that they brought him down. And it's not just him. It's us. It's us. Cut five. But the brutal political reality is that they are going to take everything away from us. What do you mean us, Kimosabe? Johnny, you're next with Howie Carr. Go ahead, Johnny.

28:27

You know, that last bit that he just said, they're going to take it away from us. I hope they do, Howie. You know, I did Iraq and Afghanistan. And it's scumbags like this fraud. Jim and John Kerry, they're two fish in, you know, the same pond. They're just losers. And, you know, they make guys like me and my friends who, you know, did a lot of stupid stuff over in Iraq and Afghanistan. They make us look bad. And I hope they go after his, because he gets 100% how he. I got blown up, big deals. A lot of my friends got blown up. We were route clearance. Take away his pension. He does not deserve that. He's a scumbag and a fraud. Go after his 100% disability rating. Go for it because this guy's a fraud. My friend Kyle, he got to spend two and a half years after, you know, the truck he was in. The other three men in the truck were all killed in action. My squalid of my 203 gun on the driver of the truck. My friend Kyle, he's got two and a half years at Walter Reed, and he's still a cripple. And he gets 100%. He deserves it. This fraud walking around, you know, doing whatever he wants to do in porta parties, go after and take away his military pension. That's garbage. He's a scumbag. I hope he rots. Thanks for the call, Johnny. Lisa, you're next with Howie Carr. Go ahead, Lisa. Hey, Howie. Oh, my God. Do you have to cut and clip that woman that just called in from elsewhere? I think, oh, my God, that was brilliant. Yeah, people in the text line say she belongs in the Hall of Fame of Callers. Oh, my God. That's up there with what do you call it, Bill and Mr. Garcia. She's up there. You've got to clip it. You've got to cut it. But anyway, I hate Graham Platner. He is disgusting. He is not even, it should not even be considered for anything in the state of Maine, not to mention Senator of the United States of America. This is, he is it despicable. I call him Port-a-potty Graham Platner. That's what I call him, and I sing it. I heard someone last night on TV say that Democrats are handing the Senate seat in Maine to the Republicans on a silver platinum. That was a good line, I thought. I know I bitch at my friends all the time about Susan Collins. I love her, but I don't like her sometimes, but I do. Like a lot of the time. Right. You know, the thing is, she's observing the, you know, the cardinal rule of politics or life. You know, when your enemies are killing one another, you know, just stand back. You don't have to get into the fight. Don't waste a punch. Don't waste a bullet. And she's just sitting there. She's there. She's there and she's there for us most of the time. Most, not always, but most. No. And she has, she has helped get federal contracts. I mean, big, big, not just, you know, Somali fraud.

31:17

you know, welfare contracts, but I mean, like important contracts, like for the bath ironworks, which goes to Americans who work for a living and who belong to unions and work with their hands and produce goods and services, in this case, ships that the United States needs, as opposed to, you know, Democrats just wanting to bring in more welfare for more illegal aliens. Sal, you're next with Howie Carr. Go ahead, Sal. Hey, Howie. The Democrat Party talks about threats to democracy in our elections. You didn't move all the way back to Bernie Sanders bowing out and then paying him off with a host on Leaks Champlain. And then in 2020, the rest of the field bowing out so that Biden could be the nominee. And then again, Biden, making him bow out. when he won the primary, and they picked Kamala Harris. And now again, this guy won overwhelmingly. Right. But yet they make them leave, and now they pick. So their voters no longer in primary. They're not picking candidates anymore. Isn't that a threat to democracy? Right. I mean, I mean, and again, too, I mentioned earlier. Eric Swalwell was the frontrunner in California. They took him off the board. Andrew Cuomo was the actual elected, I think it was elected three times in New York and they got rid of him. And they put in an even bigger stooge and Kathy Hochul. They keep doing this over and over and over again. And he's got a point. He did win the primary. At least he had, you know, and again, he was, you know, he got plenty of money from all the, the, the, the comrades. But he at least took the shot and ran in the primary. None of these other people had the stones to do it. And now they, and now they've just stomped him and they're going to take over for him. It couldn't happen to a nicer Nazi rapist, though. I'm Howie Carr. Follow Howie on X. I've got to post a link with witty comment. At Howie Car Show. Howie Car is back.

33:40

508 says, can you say that in a way Graham Platner did Maine a service by knocking Janet Mills out of the picture once and for all? Yeah, you could make that argument, but you could also say that Father Time was going to get that done anyway, one way or another. I mean, she is like almost 80 years old. Same with, you know, Seth Moulton might or might knock out Ed Markey, but if Seth Moulton doesn't do it or Deaton doesn't do it, Father Time is going to take care of it. 844-542-42-617. Do you think Graham Platner could find his way into the English language like Quisling the Norwegian Nazi collaborator became synonymous with Trader or Crapper, the inventor of the flush toilet? Could someday we be saying you may have to go to the platinum and platinumize myself? I don't know about platinumize himself. But, you know, when they talk about state police burying a case, you know, whenever there's a scandal in the Massachusetts state police, I'm already reading on social media sometimes. Do you think they'll quigley this? Quigley being the guy that they covered up the fact that he was allegedly driving way drunk and he killed this disabled guy and they covered it up. The state police in the Middlesex District Attorney's Office for over two years. They quiggled it. A lot of stories that they're quigleying something that happened down at the World Cup game in Foxborough with some shakedowns going on. I don't know if it's true or not. I can't. I'm not going to name any names until they quigley it. Like they quiglead the names of the two people in the Quincy Barberall. We know who they are. Or, you know, most of us know their names. But if you're not in the media or cop. You may not know their names, and they don't want to give out the names because they're quigleying it. Jim, you're next with Howie Carr. Go ahead, Jim. Oh, hi, Howie. I don't know if it was mentioned, but I realize pretty much you're going to be disabled to be a U.S. Senator. But Graham Platner is, he receives $4,800, and I believe it was $35 a month. Yeah. As 100% disabled. Yeah. And I find that amazing. $5,000 a month and be that guy. And we're paying him that much money. I mean, my father was a 100% disabled vet. the World War II. I think he got $600 a month if he was lucky. Jim, I mean, you got to look at what people get, like from the state police, going back to the state police. You remember the guy, the Foxborough flasher. His name was Andrew Patterson. He exposed himself at a country music concert and was drunk and told some guy that he had a nice ass, and it was just horrible what he did. And then before that, he'd gotten in a brawl in Vegas with a security guard.

36:38

And he was 30, he was about 30 years old and he claimed he had post stress disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder. And he's, he's making, he started making, he's been making it now for five, six years, $60,000 a year, the same even more than, than Graham Platner. And, you know, he didn't really have this. And this guy was never really, he was a veteran, but he was never really, you know, under fire. Or at least Graham Platner was under fire. How about this calling it instead of a porta pot, he called in a Porta Plantner? That's the way to go, 201. I think you're on to something there. Thanks for the call, Jim. 844-542. I'm Howie Carr.
