Ch-ch-a-ch-a-ch-a-ch- Better strap yourself in. It's time for the Howie Car Show. It's a happy day. My heart feels like an alligator. Howie Car, Boston hero colonists and radio hit me. The public will be truly amazed by that. Howie is sort of an insidious force in this area. It comes from the tabloid talk show stuff in Boston, and it was concocted there. Live from the Burner Less Let's Lethal Pistol Studio. It's a special pleasure for me to introduce Powie Carr. Look at the Chiron on Fox. Democrats searching for platinum replacement. Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of people. And again, we don't know what the, no official word on whether he's leaving or not. All right. And by the way, we have this contest going. It's a text contest. And it's how many times. The candidate who says Trump's name the most in the debate, the debate is going on now, or maybe it's over, actually. But, you know, it's no one's seen the debate. Very few people have seen the debate. So, and the final decision is going to be by the John Deaton campaign, the Republican candidate. So whoever, whichever candidate, Seth Moulton. Seth Moulton, the Congressman or Ed Markey, Mr. Frosty, the incumbent senator, whoever says Trump the most wins or loses, but wins. You have to predict who's going to say it the most and how many times he's going to say it. And the winner, the winner who comes closest to coming up with the right number, according to John Deaton's calculations, will win two. two passes to a future VIP broadcast here at the Howie Car Show. It's a good thing, isn't it, guys? Everybody's, it's a good prize. So just come up with, just all we need is either Seth Moulton or Ed Markey and the number of times, he said, either one of them said Trump in the, in the hour-long debate that took place or is taking place, whatever, at Channel 22 in Springfield. Text your entry to Howie at 617213, 1066. Howie to 617213 1066. All right. 978 says, my MBA class went to Mr. Frosty's office when he was a congressman. He actually talked about the ice cream truck.

2:54

Nothing about business. Total moron. Well, I mean, that's the only business experience he has. I mean, I've told the story before, but the congressman was Torby McDonald. Torbert McDonald. He went to Harvard with JFK. He was a football player. And he got sick in the 1970s and died. So there was a special, in the middle of his term. So there was a special election. So a special election means you don't have to give up your current seat. That's how he was elected to the Senate, right? Because he can't give up his seat. Because if he gives up his seat, he's going to have to go back to the ice cream truck. And it's tough. Do you really want to be running an ice cream truck when it's 100 degrees and you're 80 years old? So he runs in this special election as the pro-life Democrat. And most of the, and there's seven people in the race, seven people in the race. And you know who he used as his volunteers? His old customers from Mr. Frosty, the people he'd given ice cream cones to. And he won with... a whopping 22% of the vote in a seven-man field. And he's been in Congress, either the House or the Senate, ever since. Ever since. And the one thing he had, he had an ad. He did have a good ad. The, the, when he was, when he was in the house, I think there were, I think it was when they were reducing the size of the house, uh, from 240 to 160. It was supposed to be a reform. It didn't work out that way, obviously. But he was against it or he was, he was on the wrong side. And so they, they took his office. And the, the, the speaker was this, this old time guy named, uh, Tommy McGee, uh, an ex-alchi Marine from, uh, Lynn. the city of sin where you never go out the way you came in. And so McGee hated Ed Markey. So he said, you vote against me. Okay, I'm putting your office down next to the boiler in the basement. And he did. He put his, not an office, it was a desk next to the boiler. And so he made an ad. And he said, they can tell Ed Markey. where to sit, but they can't tell him where to stand. And he got elected, and they told him where to sit and to where to stand for the last half century plus. And he's done whatever they told him.

5:52

844-540. Now we're starting to get some, okay, yeah, this is the way to go. Marky-43, Marky-46, Molten, 33. That's the way to do it. Just, that's all you need to do. And if you win, tomorrow, we'll give you a call. And Jared will go through it in the morning and we'll figure out who won. 844-542, 844-542, 8-4-500-42-42. Before we start taking some calls, Lindsay Feifield, she was the woman the New York Times wrote about and kind of tried to brush off her allegations about Graham Platner attacking her because she's a Republican. It was, again, the limited, modified hangout, as they used to say in Watergate. You know, you put out the not so bad stuff to inoculate the guy, the purve when the really bad stuff comes out. So she was pretty angry about that. But after the Democrat, Jenny, came out, and she decided she's going to talk to the people again. She was burned by the New York Times, but she said, okay. Okay, the truth is out now so I can speak. So she gave an interview to the Washington Post. And it was pretty awful story that she gave to the Washington Post. She wasn't on birth control and Graham Platner knew she wasn't. So obviously he was wearing protection, shall we say. And he would, and at the, when they were having sex, he would rip off the condom knowing she wasn't on birth control. Kind of a. But he's, he's, he's a, he's a, he's a, he's the fake Indians kind of man. Right. So this is, so this is, this is, this is what Lindsay Feifield said to, CNN about what it was like with Graham Platner, what she saw in Graham Platner's eyes when he was attacking her. Cut 12. When Jenny told her story, um, what, if anything aligned with your experiences? The eyes. The dead eyes? Where you couldn't hear your protests? I just know exactly what that looks like. I know exactly what it looks like. And 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, but not just nothing, but like a capacity for violence. And you see it. And you know it's there and it's terrifying. Lifeless eyes, black eyes like a doll's eyes. Oh, Dr. Luke, you're next with Howie Carr. Go ahead, Dr. Luke. How you doing, Howie? Good. You know, remember when Trump was being drug through the mud there with that crazy woman, and they were, they were, they weren't the left counting, believe all women? Right. Yeah. You got to believe the woman. Now we got women said that he actually raped her, and people are sticking up for him to girl. They're being really rude to her in these interviews.

9:02

But that's just part of it. You know, up here at Maine, they vote for lousy Democrats. I mean, we need, up here in Maine, we need a change desperately. We desperately need some Republicans to come in here. Please, we need some new leadership. This state is going down. What these Democrats have done to state of Maine over the decades they've been in charge, and they blame it on the Republicans, which is ridiculous. I know, you know, LePage, he was just like, you know, just an interruption of a downhill slide, you know? But once LePage was gone, he was term limited out, the slide, the degeneration of the state government and the whole state at large because of the bad government, it just accelerated, didn't it, Dr. Luke? Well, yes, it did. And Graham Platner is a long, he's in a long line of terrible, terrible people who want to be leaders. We do not want somebody like Graham Platner. He's disgusting. Because that's ought to be brought on charges. Yeah, he's a really, really bad guy. But, you know, I wonder, you know, is he, is he really going to quit? If he, if he quits, you know, he's, he's, he's, he's going to go, his obituary is going to be accused rapist, right? With Nazi tattoo? I mean, if, what's he got to lose? He's going to, he's going to go. I mean, his parents support him as it is. His parents bought him the house. He lives on the disability benefits. Okay. He's a veteran. Give him the benefits. But he doesn't have, he doesn't really have a job. That job is a joke. He's not, he doesn't, he's not an oyster farmer. He's a fraud. And now the main wire is reporting that there was an investigation. His wife, Amy Gertner, was probed for Medicaid fraud. And they broom the case after he won the nomination last month. Alan, you're next with Howie Carr. Go ahead, Alan. Hi, hi. Thank you so much, Howie, for taking my call. It's been a while. I haven't been able to talk to you. I like to sit on your couch for a minute, doctor, if I could. My heads are all ready to explode, and I got duct tape wrapped around it, and I got super glue keeping it together, but it just isn't working. It's just not working, Howie, I'm telling you, this Democratic Party, folks, is a, like Howie's been telling us for many years, it's a cult. I mean, they're devouring themselves. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and more on the dummy from New York is in charge of this. Chuck Schumer is long gone, folks. And I just want people to focus on more on the dummy in New York. I mean, his whole cabinet is a bunch of Jew Aten.

11:51

Jew-hating Islamists. I mean, New York City, folks, you know, that's the capital of America. You know, the Statue of Liberty, where everything is, Wall Street, and who's in charge of it? We have an Islamist. And now, if you're Graham Platner, folks, we knew this for years. For a whole year now, the main wire has told us all these bad stories. This is a Democratic hit job, and I don't think it's going too well, because I don't think the Democrats know who's in charge of the party. You know, I think we're going to watch this slowly devour itself. I hope so. Elizabeth Warren, I mean, they're all turning on him. I mean, who hasn't turned on him? Has more on the dummies said anything? Has Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, you know, the leaders of the party? That's who you've got to look to because they're the leaders. This whole, this new generation of Democrats, folks, they worship politics. They worship, that's their God. We're trying to work for the weekend. What are they doing? They're working for their Lord, the whatever it is, the earth. I mean, they do. If Graham Platner can make it to the ticket, they will vote for him because they will sign any, they'll vote for the devil. They don't care. I mean, someone made a, uh, made that point that if, uh, you know, if he stays in the race and it's, and he keeps it like fairly close into October and they think they could take over the Senate if he won, they're all these people that are ripping him today. the marquis, the, uh, the Schumers, the, uh, the Jilla brands, the, uh, the fake Indians, then all, they'll call, crawl coming back to them. You know, they would. He's, that's absolutely true. 844, 500, 42, 42, thanks for the call. By the way, don't, don't give us the, the, you know, both, both candidates. We just, we just want the winning candidate, just the winning, just give us one, one candidate and one number. That's all we ask, when you text in to, to win the VIPs on the debate, how many times either the winning candidate says Trump. Text Howey to 617213, 1066. Imagine a scenario where you or your loved ones face a threat. Your first instinct might be to resort to lethal force, but it's crucial to consider a safer, less lethal alternative first to avoid the legal complications associated with firearms. Introducing Berna. Burna's less lethal pistol launcher, this device is equipped with tear gas and kinetic ammunition and designed to incapacitate an attacker for up to 40 minutes, providing a critical window for you to escape or to get help while minimizing the risk of permanent harm. Here's a real-life account from a Burna customer named Adam. While heading to his night shift, Adam encountered a road-raging driver who swerved dangerously, stopped abruptly, and aggressively approached him. Remaining calm, Adam dialed 911 and armed himself with his burner launcher. He aimed the laser at the aggressor's chest, which immediately de-escalated the situation. The hostile driver returned to his vehicle and awaited the police. The officers confirmed that Adam's non-lethal response was perfectly judged and handled. That night, Berna didn't just prevent a potential tragedy. It saved two lives without causing physical harm.

Today's poll question, which you can vote in at Howie Carshow.com. Is who will mention Trump's name more in the mass U.S. Senate Democrat debate tonight? Senator Ed Markey, rep Seth Moulton, or too close to call? I'm going to vote for Seth Moulton. Seth Moulton is at 25%, Ed Markey is at 24%. Oh, it's really changed. And 51% say too close to call. Does Marky think this is helping his campaign to get more fun? Maybe he does. I mean, maybe he's gone to stage five.

16:58

Trump derangement syndrome. Wow. Okay. But again, the contest continues. If I predict how many, how many times the candidate, which of the two, predict the candidate that's going to do it the most, Ed Markey or Seth Moulton, how many times he's going to say Trump in the course of the debate and the person who comes closest on the, on the text line will win two. two VIP passes to an upcoming Howie Car show. And the text, Howie to 617, 213, 1066. And Gary, you're next with Howie Car. Go ahead, Gary. You're there, Gary? No, Gary. Joey, you're next with Howie Car. Go ahead, Joey. How you doing? Good. You know, this guy's not going to resign because he's a national socialist Democrat. I thought he was a communist. It depends on how many cocktails he's had. You know, they're all national socialists. They all hate Jews. They all want to take over state control over industry. It's Nazis 2.0. He doesn't like people who live in the sticks, white people. He thinks blacks are crappy tippers. He hates gay people. Who does he like? He doesn't like Jews, that's for sure. Right. It's one of his criticisms of Susan Collins. She's controlled by Benjamin Netanyahu and Yahoo. We know what that means. God. Bill, you're next with Howie Carr. Go ahead, Bill. Yeah. Here's the situation that Democrats need to face. You know, and I'm talking about Democrats who are old school Democrats and anyone that are not totally lost their mind and understand how dangerous these socialists and Marxists are. If they ever hope to get control of their party back, they are going to have to vote for the Republican all of these elections. send these communists packing, and that's the only way they're going to get control of their party and be able to give the likes of Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. I agree, but you're talking about real old-school Democrats. Being a Democrat now is a lifestyle. You know, you've got to have the yard signs out front. You know, you have to hate Trump.

19:47

Live from the Burna Less Lethal Pistol Pistol Studio, it's Howie Carr. I was just looking at the main wire to see if I could get an update on the platinum situation. They've got a story here. Graham Platner campaign urgently hiring research director responsible for defense. Someone had to put that in as a joke. I assume it was posted, but that can't be true, can't it? Hiring research director responsible for defense strategies and job listing posted day after rape allegations. Someone's got a wicked sense of humor, I think, and, you know, I was willing to spend a couple of bucks to put that in a, as a classified ad. Please. 844-542. Plattenor is holding out for one of them highly lucrative Democrat book deals. 508 says, yeah, I don't know. How much do you get for that kind of book? How much did OJ make in the end for if I did it? Remember that? He got the, he got the editor who gave him a million bucks fired, but I don't think they ever even published the book. 844, 500, 4242.42. You know, you got to give the Democrats credit, though, for it. They just keep muscling these people out of the race if they, if they, you know, they're going to lose. Again, think Biden, think Andrew Cuomo, think Bernie, going going back twice with Bernie. And so this is the main Democrat Party executive director, Devin Murphy Anderson. And she's saying about how Graham Platner will have nothing to say. You know, excuse me, ma'am, but he did win the primary. They're just saying, yes, listen, we'll just listen to what she says here. And again, he was the great white hope of the party. Even though they knew everything about him, basically, that they, that then that they know now. But he was the great white hope, but now he's not. And so now, now he's nothing. Now they're treating him like he's Bob Gamere, as we used to say in Boston TV. Cut 23. To provide you all an update on the US Senate race here in Maine. As you know, the Maine Democratic Party has been working around the clock to develop a process to replace our U.S. Senate nominee that is open, inclusive, transparent, and fair. The integrity of this process is just as important as the outcome. Integrity. And we are committed to ensuring that Democrats across our state can have confidence in both. Say his name. Unfortunately, Graham Platner's team has repeatedly reached out to us in an attempt to put their thumb on the scale of what this process looks like. We have repeatedly reiterated to Graham Platner's team that they have no role in determining our next Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate.

22:49

nor in determining what this process looks like. We have also reiterated that Graham Platner must drop out of this race so that Democrats in Maine can focus on defeating Susan Collins this November. We look forward to making this process public as soon as Graham Platner formally withdraws from this race. I think of the Soviet Union when you fell out and they sent you to the Gulag, you became a non-person. I think you can say from that one-minute cut that Graham Platner is officially a non-person. It's a transparent search. They will leave no Croatian Nazi tattoo shop unturned looking for his replacement. 207 says Graham Platner's all done. Mommy has now removed his campaign signs from in front of her restaurant. Oh, wow. Can someone send us a picture of that? We'd love to before and after photo. I know there's only a few. less than 2,000 people in Dan Sullivan. But somebody's got to have a picture of a before and after. 844-542-42. Bob, you're next with Howie Carr. Go ahead, Bob. Hey, Howie. May I comment on that woman? First of all, she's just destroying democracy in the name of democracy. Right. Destroy you it to save it. Right. Now, this is like sign it if you want to know what's in it with Nancy Pelosi, you know. But I wanted to tell you, Howie, that I canceled cable a few years ago because of the fake news, and I don't regret it, all the money I saved. But I do want to say how disappointed I am in all the airwave stations that nobody could bring it upon themselves to broadcast the 850,000 fireworks I was looking forward to see. And I wanted to hear what President Trump had to say, and not one of them on all the airwaves that you can get had broadcast any of that event. You know, they had all these other dinglings in all these other cities. you know, yapping away and throwing in their political digs. But, you know, they couldn't have shown the best fireworks displayed in man's history. Yeah, but you couldn't, couldn't you get it, Bob? Couldn't you have gotten it on the, on the internet, YouTube or somewhere, or streaming or Roku or Hulu or one of those things? Holly, I was so discussed that I searched all the channels, and I'm, I'll tell you, I'm old, and I'm not really good with the Internet, so YouTube was like, I didn't even think of that, but I missed it, and I feel that I wish that they would show it again, because I wanted to hear the speech. I felt like they should be obligated to cast the President's speech.

25:36

You know, and I thought it was just going to be on every station, you know, at least the fireworks. Yeah, I'm sorry, Bob. You've got to learn to, you could have gotten it pretty easily if you had just, you know, gone to, I think YouTube would have had somewhere, you know. Thanks for the call, though, Bob, and thanks for listening to this show. 844-542, 844-542. Robert, you're next with Howie Car. Go ahead, Robert. Yes, hi, Howie. I would like to suggest a theme song for the Democratic Socialists, and that's the Beatles' 1967, back to the USSR. And one line in the lyrics, and I quote, says, you don't know how lucky you are. And then they can show a video of the empty grocery shelves in the SARS of Moscow. The Republicans should pick up on that. I thought you were going to say I'm the taxman or Nowhere Man. I think those would be even better songs if you're going to go with the Beatles. Thanks for the call. 844-542-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-42. I'm just looking to hear for some other... This is Brandon Gill. I just like that I like Brandon Gill from Texas and he's and he's talking about how they had I mean this is stuff we've all been saying but he sums it up pretty well. Oh, excuse me, we got so many cuts to play here. Let's go with Scott Jennings. It kind of follows up what that woman was just saying that we don't care who you voted for in the primary. He's gone. He's gone. We'll make the calls. The Ministry of Truth will, Big Brother will make the call. Big Brother will make the call. Scott Jennings is calling him out for this. Cut 14. I'm amazed at just how breezily Democrats are out there publicly discussing, subverting the will of the people of Maine. Graham Platner overwhelmingly won a primary, 98% of what we know about Graham Platner. We already knew. The voters knew. The Democrats knew. The activists knew. The donors knew. Everybody knew. There's a reason why every... They voted for him. Summer of 24 right now. They voted for him anyway. Your grand Graham Platner hasn't dropped out of this race yet. But if Graham Platner does drop out. But you have all these Democrats and even some of the... Well, I guess we'll have to get somebody else. You had a vote. This is a democracy. The Democrats voted. And now the party of democracy is apparently going to subvert the will of the people. What you're hearing from Scott, though, is that obviously the Republicans at this point would love to run against Graham Platner. I mean, that would be a gift. I mean, that would be a gift for them. And to date's point, every hour it goes by. They gave us the gift. Look, Lulu, it's not a gift that someone like this was allowed.

28:31

to make it this far in a in this process but he did make it this far and i think the democrats sometimes what's the old saying you know you made your bed now you got a lie in it well at least the process here would dictate the democrats ought to have to lie in this i i just right i couldn't agree more want to have it in a folksy southern description here's john Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from louisiana cut 13 with respect to the uh to Mr. Graham Platner. He was nominated by the Hamas wing of the Democratic Party, which is in control. With respect to the new allegations or revelations about him, I, of course, was completely shocked who could possibly have seen this coming. It's not like there were signs or something. I tell you who saw it coming. Every American who was paying attention. and who as an IQ above a toaster knew that this guy's motherboard was fried. Even my colleague, Chuck Schumer, who can't even cook a cheeseburger, saw this coming. It's true. It's true. Bernie Sanders. Who cares about these allegations? That's what he said until the other day. Who cares about these allegations? We heard him talking about it. It was terrible when the Nazis were in Charlottesville. But now it's not a big deal that Graham Platner has a tattoo. It also is not a big deal. It was a big deal when they were making up fabricated stories about Brett Kavanaugh. That was a major scandal. Now this, not so much. But here he is 2018 talking about Brett Kavanaugh. Bernie Sanders, cut 17. One out of four women in this country have been a victim of sexual assault. This is an epidemic. And it tells me, and I think the vast majority of the American people, that we need a culture change in the way boys and men. respond to women. A woman who has come forward to do what she thought was right as an American citizen. Understanding from day one that she would be attacked by political opponents, making it clear to boys and men that in this country that type of behavior. is unacceptable. Unless you're the Democrat nominee for the Senate. Right? 207. Plattenor is the nominee. Isn't this where we shove the elections have consequences lying down their throat? 860. Graham Platner won the primary. It was democracy in action. I hope he sticks, stays and sticks it to the Democrat Party. John, you're next with Howie Carr. Go ahead, John. You just stole my thunder. I was going to quote Barack Obama for the Democrats of Maine and remind them that elections have consequences. Yeah. They do. They do. You know, and you know, as terrible as Janet Mills is,

32:02

She warned him about this. She was on the record in March. I didn't even pull the cut because she's yesterday's news except for when she's getting hectored in an airport. But she said there's, you know, there's a lot of stuff on this guy. And nobody's ever checked him out or vetted him. And she was right. She absolutely called it. And I think that's one, I think, you know, Chuck Schumer was not overwhelmed by her, her brilliant glad-handing and political acumen. He just knew that this guy was trouble. And he tried to, he tried to head it off. And they didn't care. And, you know, Chuck Schumer is going to lose, he's going to lose his own seat. Just like, you know, Janet Mills got the bums rush this election. Maybe Ed Markey is going to get the bums rush. And he's going to get it in 28. And the only question is, is it going to be Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez or Zohran Mamdani? Probably Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. But if she runs for president, I'm sure Zohran Mamdani will take him out. He's gone. He's history. Thanks for the call, John. 844-542. More listeners visited perfect smiles in June than in any other month so far this year.

Follow Howie on TikTok. We're looking at TikTok. At Howie Car Radio Network. The name is hot. The brand is hot. Yeah. Howie Car is back. The IRGC barracks are burning in the southern part of Iran. I hope everyone escaped before the bombing bombs arrived. That's a lot of cardboard to haul out. You know, the New York Times actually asked Trump a good question today. You know, one of the reporters, they said, you know, he's calling them, they're scum, they're nuts, they're lunatics. You can't trust them. They're the worst people in the world. The New York Times guy said, excuse me, like three weeks ago, you were saying, these are very nice people. They're rational about that. And I thought, you know, for once the New York Times, you know, and you know what his response was? It was perfect. They said, what changed? And he said, I got to know them. You know, the thing is, he can get out from, from, you know, under an embarrassing question, because that was pretty embarrassing, because he was kind of lauding their, you know, how, what great people they were. I got to know him. I got to know. 844-542. Here's why, this is, this is great. This guy, Chris Saliza, used to be worked for, The Washington Post and maybe CNN or something. He got let go. And you'll see why he got let go because he's a dumbass. He's a real talking about Graham Platner. Here's what he, he says he has no leverage. I don't think he's studied the situation. I think he's got all the leverage right now. This is Chris Silesa on his little podcast, cut 25. You don't. have the leverage here. I think you misunderstand. You're not going to be dictating who the next nominee is. You're going to get out of the race because that's really the only option left before you unless you. don't really believe in sort of everything you talked about, and you're willing to go down in flames and with you going down in flames as the nominee, going the chances of Democrats beating Susan Collins and Maine going down in flames, and I would add the chances of Democrats retaking the Senate majority going down in flames. So sure, I guess that's your option. You could stay on the belt, but let's be honest here. Graham Platner, the thing that he has control over now is what time he sends out the video announcing he's getting out of the race, not who's going to be the next Democratic nominee. Now, as I mentioned before, And again, I think Graham Platner is out probably by the end of today, July 7th, certainly by the end of the week. It's already the eighth. It's the end of the eighth now. Jim staying in would be a kamikaze mission. See, Chris Silesa got fired. Now he's in his basement running this podcast. You didn't have any leverage, Chris. He's got the Democrat nomination for a Senate seat.

And this is his last chance to make a score. This is his first and final shot at the main chance, M-A-I-N, or the main, main chance. And, you know, I don't blame him for, you know, waiting it out. Because once they, once he makes the announcement, once the video goes out and the sound trucks leave, they're never coming back. They're never coming back to Hancock County, let alone Dan Sullivan. 844-542. We'll be right back. I'm Howie Carr. Dura-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-
