every tuesday it's tuesdays with howie car brought to you by route 22 service center offering shuttle service to work or home make an appointment today at route 22 service center howie good morning how are you sir Very good. It's very good, Josh. I'm just waiting the primary results and watching the Democrat Party kill itself, you know, to a firing squad. It's very amusing. Well, you read my mind because that was the first thing I wanted to ask you. There are primaries around the country. I think the biggest one that we're all watching is in Michigan. Where you've got a Democrat representative in the House, Haley Stevens, against Abdul El-Sayed, who is leading in the polls. Yeah, the non-physician physician. What do you think is going to happen? He's for Medicare for all, but his wife is also a physician, a real physician, and she won't take Medicare patients or Medicaid patients. I mean, again, the cognitive dissonance, the disconnect between their rhetoric and reality is just amazing. And then I saw today, oh, they found some video where he's advocating driver's licenses for illegal aliens. I didn't know that was a big issue in the Democrat Party anymore. You know, it's, you know, they have them in Maine. They have them in Massachusetts. You know, it's just, it's not an issue. The craziest thing I've seen recently in the last few days is the woman in Wisconsin, she's going to be the candidate for government. She wants to abolish Thanksgiving. Really? I read that she wanted to abolish borders and police and prisons. Right. And she wants the 86 Trump. And but I mean abolishing Thanksgiving. That's... That's a winning issue, I would say, right? Well, they want to abolish the Senate. They want to pack the Supreme Court and abolish the presidency. I mean. Right. Well, she said, though, now she's reconsidered abolishing the Senate because they have a chance to retake the Senate. So why should we abolish it if we can control the Senate? But, you know, I guess that would be a temporary thing to the Republicans got control again. And then they have to abolish it. Exactly. So who do you like in Michigan? Why it's going to be the Egyptian? I mean, it doesn't. It seems like he's got like a 10-point lead in the polls. And, you know, I know she brought in Jim Clyburn. But, you know, I mean, again, he's another one of these guys in his 80s. You know, he's on the, you know, he's got one foot in the grave and another on the banana. You know, I mean, politically speaking, I mean, they almost abolished his district in the...

in the gerrymand, the Republican gerrymandering to counter the Democrat gerrymandering. So, you know, I mean, I don't think he's, I don't think he can turn it around for her. I mean, apparently she had a rally in Detroit a couple of weeks ago, or he had a route, the Egyptian had a rally in Detroit. And there were no black people showed up. It was only like rich white, white women from, from Gross Point, places like that. I mean, but that's a, that's like the. That's a recurring pattern here with these Democrat socialists. You know, they all claim they're from the working class, and none of them have ever worked, and they all claim to represent, you know, the people of color, but they're, you know, 85, 90 percent white. Yeah, I mean, the DSA is definitely on the rise. Do you think if Abdul El-Sayed wins that is this a boon to Mike Rogers, the Republican nominee for the Senate in Michigan? Or do you think Abdul El-Sayed can win statewide? No, I don't think he can. I mean, you know, I mean, anything can happen, I guess. But, you know, the, the, I saw a poll that said 57% of Jewish people wouldn't even give, give to. you know, vote for the Egyptian. And then I, then I was on newsmatch yesterday with this guy, this former Democrat aide, Epstein, Jewish guy, obviously. And he spent a lot of time in Michigan. And he said, he said that Bianca Dela Garza and myself, that if, if the Egyptian wins, he will not only vote for Mike Rogers, he will give him money. You know? Yeah. I just, why would you, why would you, you know, vote for somebody who hates you. I don't understand that. I don't understand how they've gotten this far, but they have, you know? I mean, and it's just the radicalization, that woman in New York who ousted the head of the Hispanic caucus, Adriano Espaillat, that guy was a former illegal alien. You would think that would be good enough for them. A former illegal alien gets defeated because he doesn't hate Israel enough by some nut. Yeah. Again, who's never had a job. Yeah, did you see over the weekend, Bill Marr and James Carville coming out hard saying at least Carville said he'll walk from the Democrat Party. Mar actually said he would vote, potentially vote Republican in 28. If Abdul El-Sayed and the DSA take over the party. Is it, but is it, is it too little too late, Howie? I mean, did these people not help create this monster over the last 30 years? Right, right. This is the lesson of history, Josh, you know, the French Revolution. I mean, you know, well, Robespierre, if he didn't invent a gift, he financed it, right? And then he was the, and then, you know, they were all clapping and cheering when they led Marie Antoinette up there and all the all the clerics and the bourbons. And then he was the last guy who was executed, you know? I mean, Trotsky led the Russian Revolution and they hunted him now to Mexico City and killed him with an axe.

6:11

Yeah. Yeah. This is the way it goes. In every revolution, they always eat their own. And it's happening again. And, you know, and again, people don't like the history for some reason. But, you know, there's reasons. I mean, I like to read it for enjoyment. But, you know, you learn from history. Yes. You know, just like you learn from the multiplication tables or, you know, or how to diagram a sentence, you know. You're not going to make the same mistakes if you, or maybe there's less likelihood you'll make the same mistake. But they're just doing exactly the same thing that everybody has always done. You know, they thought that they could, you know, they could tame the beast. And then now they figure they'll be the last ones to be eaten alive. But you know what? Eventually, you always run out of time. Yeah, socialism is a self-eating snake, if it ever was one. But yeah, you're so right about the history. And the belief that somehow it's different here, that we will have a different outcome than every other place on the planet that has gone down this road from the French Revolution to the fall of the Berlin Wall, it's unbelievable that they really think that somehow it will be different here. But history says otherwise, and yet off they go. And now... You know, I call them these boomers on the left are freaking out because their kids and grandkids are little monsters. Right. And, you know, this Hong woman, she's, she's repeats. I mean, she's the craziest one of all. She's actually been in a mental institution, you know? And she admits it. And. And, you know, oh, that's fine. You've recovered. But do you really want that person being the governor? And then when she says things like, we've got enough money so that everybody can have good housing. And you say to yourself, What's the public housing like in this case, Milwaukee or any place. Right. Public housing, good housing. And then you say, we and, you know, and we've got enough to build a society where everybody will have what they want if we just take away the money from the rich people. You mean like how it's worked out in Cuba? Exactly. Right? How did it work out in Cuba? How did it work out in Venezuela? Or just go look at public housing in Portland. Yeah, I mean, anywhere. That's what I'm saying, anywhere. It doesn't have to be, you know, it could be Cabrini Green in Chicago, you know, a giant 20-story complex. It could be anywhere. You know, if everybody owns something, nobody really owns something. Exactly. That's why rest areas aren't as well taken care of as service plazas.

where you actually have companies that have a vested interest in taking care of them. I mean, it's, it's, you don't have to be like a PhD in economics to figure this stuff out. You're just going to keep your eyes open. And anyone over the age of 12th you'd be able to figure it out. Yeah, switching gears a little bit here. Our Senate race is, of course, between Susan Collins and Troy Jackson, national news. The Washington Free Beacon has a story up pointing out that Troy Jackson's son made roughly $200,000 for his firm while his father was president of the Senate. Meanwhile, Troy Jackson is running on a candidate on a platform. attacking high-priced lobbyists who undermine legislation to the detriment of the people. Do you think this has legs? Is the media going to cover it locally? What do you think about that? What media locally? Well, other than the main wire. Right, right. That's what that's what I mean. I mean, you know, it's just it's it's the old thing with these people, you know. I mean, it's to a degree of the Republicans, but to a greater degree of the Democrats, you know, do as I say, not as I do, you know. They just think that nobody's going to know. But they're acting exactly in an opposite direction from the way they're talking. You know, they talk to talk, but they don't walk the walk. I can't see, I can't see Jackson as like a real serious, serious contender here. I mean, he's just, he's so weak and he's so laughing in charisma. And he's just, I mean, he's just, I mean, even. Even for a legislative leader, it's kind of hard to see how he rose to that level. You know, you kind of, you're an insider. You kind of got it, most of are kind of, you know, a little on the, on the, you know, unctious, you know, oily side. But, I mean, he's, he doesn't have, he seemed to have anything going for. Well, he's not Graham Platner. I guess that's the answer. I mean, he endorsed Graham Platner. I mean, they campaigned arm and arm. And he was, I guess, yeah, with Bernie. Yeah, the three of them. Yeah. So he was the last man standing, I guess, is the reason he won it. But, you know, the Party of Democracy, they've thrown a sitting president off the ballot and a guy in Maine who got 120,000 votes. So. Do with that what you will. He's the people's choice. He finished third. That's how it works in Maine with ranked choice voting. Kind of like Elizabeth Warren in Massachusetts running for president. Finish third in her quote unquote home stage. Yeah.
