It comes from the tabloid talk show stuff in Boston, and it was concocted there. Live from the Burnah Less Lethal Pistol Studio. It is a special pleasure for me to introduce Howie Car. Don't you know it's a bit in the day. Can't be like the last in the summer? Welcome to the Howie Car Show. 844-5-400-42-4-4-5-42-42. Democrat Socialists, highly educated, downwardly mobile. Why am I not surprised? There was a story earlier this week that the most rabid part of the Democrat coalition, even more rabbit than the white suburban women who drink lunch is the people with both sexes who have post-batch bachelor degrees, postgraduate college degrees, and don't have good jobs. I should say high paying jobs. They're angry. They're just shocked that that PhD in queer studies is not paying off in a big way, that that advanced degree in sustainability is just not a ticket to the to the to the Hamptons, shall we say. 844-542. We told you earlier in the day that the chairman of the Democrat State Committee, Steve Kerrigan, he's from Lancaster, he's a selectman in Lancaster. And in a bit of great irony, he is also the president of the Ted Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Institute. But now he has proven that he is a worthy president of the Ted Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Institute because he just got logged for driving under the influence last month. We didn't know about it until today. The Mass Daily News broke the story. It's everywhere now, literally everywhere. It's become a national story. And he has issued a statement, which I will read in its entirety, because it's very brief. In June, I was pulled over for a marked lane violation and blew a 0.089 on the breathalyzer. I regret and take full responsibility for my actions and their consequences and appreciate the Southborough PD and Westboro District Court for their professionalism and service, unquote. So he handled it. He handled it well. But again, I mean...

Should a guy who takes a breathalyzer after he's been boozing it up? Should he really be the chairman of the Democrat Party or any party for that matter? Even the Prohibition Party. But there it is. He made a mistake. He took the breathalyzer. 844. And he's right. Mistakes were made. Yes, mistakes were made. 844-542, 844-542, 844-542. So we're going to just talk about various things for the next couple of hours. And, you know, Brandon Gill, I just can't tell you how impressed I am with that guy. And he's only 33 years old. He's a, I think he's in his second term from Texas. And he just goes out and just, handles these people with such a plumb. It's just great. But let's take a couple of calls. People want to talk about maybe our last guest, Yose Sheffey in his book, Unsafe at MIT. Mike, you're next with Howie Carr. Go ahead, Mike. You know, it's pretty stoning to listen to that interview of what has happened to the educational system in America. My God. You know, Howie, I grew up down there, you know, from in the Berkshers. But, you know, I've been there, I've been in Massachusetts for years and years and years with some of the best students and probably some of the best professors that were ever around. I can't believe that the educational system in math. has gone this far crazy. Well, you know, like I told him, Mike, you know, you know, everybody who spent any time around Harvard knows that it's just a big joke, you know, great inflation and people just, you know, rich kids and DEI. But you always think of MIT as being kind of a bastion where people are really still, are really still students where they, where you go to really learn something that you can, you can. help society and help yourself and, and, uh, advance, advanced society and technology. And it's, and apparently it's, it's just as bad as Harvard and to a large degree now. Well, how you remember when you went to Deerfield. Okay. Do you remember Kranwell? Kranwell, no. It was in Lennox, mass. Yeah. It was for, uh, yeah, it was, uh, my, my aunt. was the head nurse there in Cramwell, you know, had the very richest students, R.J. Reynolds' son, you know, the whole nine yards in the Berkshires. And let me tell you something. I can tell you one thing, I can tell you one thing. I'd stress with these kids was education. They didn't screw around. You know, there used to be a place right next to Cramwell. Yeah.

It was a kind of hideaway joint where all the stars went to. And one night my aunt got a call over at Cremwell. She was the nurse, and they said, we need you over here. She went over there to stitch up a hand. Yeah. The guy had broke a rock spot on the bar. Yeah. You know, when I was a freshman at Deerfield, you know, the headmaster's son pulled me over when John Boyden was his name. And he just said, you know, he said, Howie, you don't seem to take things very seriously around here. And he said, just give you a word of, you know, a little bit of advice. You know, you don't, you don't come from a lot of money. You know, he wasn't saying it in a nasty way or anything. He was just like. you know, reminding me of what I already knew. You don't come from a lot of money. You know, you don't have a lot of connections. You got to, you got to do a good job. You got to work hard here if you want to get into a good school. And yeah, I, you know, that's the way it was in, in my time. But I just get the feeling, these kids don't care. I mean, especially, and again, like he said, the ones coming, he said they're from California and then he added New York and Vermont. I knew exactly what he meant. You knew exactly what he meant. These rich kids. You know who the kind of person he's talking about? Graham Platner. James Talarico. Oh, Zohran Mamdani. All these people, they, you know, there's a, there's a story today. I'll read it later on. All of these people, including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, you know, who's now wants to be this oppressed girl. Her mother who left New York and moved to Florida, like so many others, like millions of others, she was paying the property taxes on the condo that she lived in in the Bronx. She was paying the condo dues. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wasn't paying it. And now her brother lives in it, lives in there. And these are the people who are protest. And these are the Democrat Socialists of America, too. These are the people who have the advanced degrees, and then I'm making any money. Because they got their advanced degrees in nonsense. Michelle, you're next with Howie Carr. Go ahead, Michelle. Hi, Howie. Hi, how are you? I just had to talk about Michelle, I mean, our governor, Maura Healey giving that $2 billion contract to her Ayanna Presley's ex-con of a husband. I'm just so mad. Yeah. Is there anything that can be stopped? Can it be stopped? I think it's going to be, I think it's going to be stopped, Michelle. I mean, I didn't know if it was going to be stopped or not, but the fact that they set this company up in 2023 and then they didn't file any annual reports, apparently, according to news accounts, with the Secretary of State, which every corporation has to do yearly. And so how can you get a $2 billion contract if basically the corporation doesn't exist?

Right. And if you're like, I think he should be exempted. It just makes me so mad. I'm sorry. I had to vent to you because the state just makes me crazy. I know. I know. We stopped them on the plaza gate thing last year. They were trying to do, they was trying to pull the same stuff on the service plazas on the turnpike. And we just got lucky and stopped them. But this time around, I hope that the people that are suing, the people out in Springfield, I hope they've got. I hope they've got good legal. team that's trying to stop this thing because I think it can be done. And I, and I'm glad that Mayor, Mayor Sarno out there has, has come forward and said, this is, this is absurd. Tried to get him to come on the show, but he doesn't want to screw up things for the, for the, for the people who are out in his area that are trying to get the contract. I don't blame him. But we're, we're going to stay on top of this, Michelle, and try to stop it. This is, this is really outrageous. And the, what's worse is, there's no pushback. You know, other than a handful of people, the aggrieved bidders who lost to this inside job, and, you know, one or two elected politicians and a handful of mainly independent podcasters and broadcasters. I mean, there's no, where is the Republican Party here? Where's the Republican Party in general period? You know, they got to get out. These are issues. These are big issues. And there's nobody taking advantage of it. 844-542. I'm Howie Car. Follow Howie on X. I've got to post a link with Witty Comment. At Howie Car Show.

Howie Carr is back. Today's poll question is brought to you by pre-born. Just $28 provides one life-saving ultrasound. In an honor of America's 250th birthday, we're asking friends to prayerfully consider a special gift of $250 to multiply their impact and help save even more lives. To donate, dial pound 250 and say the keyword baby or give securely at preborn.com slash howie. Every gift is tax deductible. Jared, what's the poll question? What are the results thus far? Today's poll question, which you can vote in at howie carshow.com, is what are you most likely to watch for evening entertainment? Network primetime shows, cable TV, or internet streaming, YouTube, Netflix, etc. Internet streaming. 56% of the audience says internet streaming. 25% say cable TV and 19% say network primetime shows. Oh, that's really gone up. Yeah. That surprises me. 844, 542, 42. So Brandon Gill is not in his second term. He's in his first term. I'd say he's rookie of the year. Easily. Anonymous. Yeah. He's just doing a really good job. So this yesterday, I guess it was. He was there with the ABA, the American Bar Association president, Michelle Benke. And as you know, the ABA has gone really woke. And they're the official, you know, they handle accreditation and all this stuff. And so it's a real problem when, you know, the basic accreditation system is gone totally far left. But we're going to play some cuts of him with the president of the ABA. Let's take a call first about one more call about MIT. Milton, you're next with Howie Carr. Go ahead, Milton. Hi. I just wanted to say that I am an engineering graduate of MIT and class of 58, sort of quite old here. And pre-COVID, the Department of Meteorology at MIT invited a professor of the same department in Chicago, University of Chicago. And that professor was going to present two sides. of the argument about climate change. Right. And the students of the MIT department rose up and made such a fuss that that professor had to be disinvited. I was absolutely shocked. to hear that something that happened at MIT, because that was not the MIT that I attended. So I just wanted to say also that I was absolutely amazed, or should not have been too amazed, I guess, of the events following October 7th at MIT.

Yeah, you know, I went to UNC, and I remember that they ran Tom Tancredo. He was a conservative congressman from Colorado, and this was a while back. And they tried to make a speech there to a conservative Republican group, and they ran him off of campus. And I felt the same way you did, Milton, about, you know, what happened at MIT. I mean, it wasn't the UNC that I knew. I mean, you know, they were, it wasn't the, you know. There were problems. There were problems with every institution. But at least they, everybody believed in free speech. You know, not that long ago, Milton. Well, it's very sad, but it shows what's going on in the upper echelons of education. Yeah. I know. Fortunately, UNC has kind of pulled out of it a little bit. You know, they've, they've, they've, they've, they've. set up more conservative leaning or free enterprise, liberty-loving departments. And it's not as bad as other places, but it's still pretty bad. Jerry, thanks for the call, Milton. Jerry, you're next with Howie Carr. Go ahead, Jerry. Hey, Howie, thanks for taking the call. Howie, you know who Brandi Gil's father-in-law is, though? Yeah, Dinesh D'Souza, right? That's correct. He's married to Dinesh's daughter. Dinesh also, he... For years, when he went to Dartmouth, him and Laura Ingram were an item. They lived together. Really? I knew that they knew each other, and I knew that they were conservatives. You know, that, what is it, the Dartmouth Review? I believe so. Yeah. Yeah. Howie, you know, in regards to boarding schools, I know you went to Deerfield, and I worked at a private school, and I had to sign NDAs and all that stuff, but I've got to tell you, it's been like maybe 15, 18 years since I've been in that field. Yeah. And I'm retired now and everything, but I've got to tell you, the education system even then has gone downhill. Even then it went downhill. And I mean, these people spend $60,000 to send their kid to a boarding school. But the teachers, the majority of them, the teachers, and the whole dichotomy of what was going on in the school at the time, it wasn't like when you and I were younger when we went to school. Do you know what I'm saying? I know exactly what you're saying. Yeah, my daughter went to Deerfield, and I told her, I said, when I was at Deerfield, it was like MCI Deerfield. And when you went there, it was like the Deerfield Country Club. But, you know, but again, I mean, it wasn't just, you know, the fact that we were locked up all winter and all that. And it was an all-boys school. But it's just there's there was less, there's less emphasis now on, on education for lack of a better word, Jerry. You know, you know what I mean? People, it's, it's just, you're just kind of hanging out. And, and, and, and. going with the flow. And, you know, it's like the professor said, you know, after October 7th, 2023, the flow became anti-Semitism was the big thing. You know, in the 20s, they were swallowing goldfish in the 60s and 70s. They were taking LSD, smoking pot. And now they hate Jews. It's crazy. It's just, it makes no sense whatsoever. We'll take some more calls when we come back. And everybody.

Everybody knows it. I mean, you don't have to have been at a school as a teacher or a staff. I mean, all you had to do was go to school. And you go back to the school or you talk to someone who went to your school, whether it's a high school or a college. It's not the same. I'm Howie Carr. Live from the Burnah Less Lethal Pistol Pistol Studio, it's Howie Carr. 844-542. John, you're next with Howie Car. Go ahead, John. Hey, Howie, thanks for taking my call. A long time, anytime. And I just got a funny story about being on the take. Officials being on the take. My grandfather, good old Jamaica play employed back in the day. He was chief engineer for the Master Department of Public Works from, oh, geez, the 30s till. I retired in 54 the year I was born. And my mother tells a story about going to the 48 World Series. If those of you, anybody there that still remembers that it was the Boston Braves against the Cleveland Indians. And my mother used to talk about going to the owner's box. She said, oh, we used to get to go to the owner's box. And it was all catered. Oh, it was so nice. I said, Ma, I said, you know who the owner was of the Braves? She said, well, who was, Lou Perini? And I said, yeah. I said, oh, yeah, he was best friends with your grandfather. I said, my, your father was also the chief engineer and head of the Department of Public Works. Right. You know, you know, Leoprene was his contracts. Oh, no, no, my father would never do that. My brother and I looked back with what we could find, you know, this is late, many years later. And lo and behold, Howie, guess who got... Most of the contracts back then to the big projects. Yeah. You would recognize. No, I mean, when I was a kid, they, their signs were everywhere, Perini contracting. But, you know, the thing is, I mean, whatever Lou Perini made, it was, it was short money compared to what they, what they were going to make on Plaza Gate last year or what they're going to make on this new courthouse if they get it in, in Springfield. And you know what? Another thing, John, your grandfather. And Lou Perini went to great lengths to keep it quiet. They don't seem to care anymore, do they? No, no. They didn't talk back then, you know. Yeah, I didn't see you, you didn't see me. That's an old saying that I learned when I was at this in City Hall. I didn't see you, you didn't see me. But that's the way it was. But now they don't care. Hey, you know, if you say anything, then you're a racist, homophobe, Islamophob, transphobe, you're a bad, you're a maga.

So they do whatever they want to do, John. Thanks for the call. David, you're next with Howie Carr. Go ahead, David. Hey, Howie, got a funny political story for you. Remember Kerry Hilley Muffy? Yes. The governor. Right, Lieutenant Governor. But years ago, yeah, years ago under Mitt Romney, of course, years ago, I was on the Salem, Massachusetts. Republican Town Committee, we had like two members, right? So she would come to our meetings, but she was the committee woman to the state committee. She lived in Beverly, you know, with a rich husband. Right. I was the secretary, so I basically banned, you know, the committee meetings because no one else showed up. And she came in a sprout in her mouth, blah, blah, blah. And we only gave it so much time. I thought I used to love it when I would hammer her mouth shut, dude. This was before she was muffy. And I was like, I said, you know, and then late years later, I went to the Hawthorne Hotel in Salem, you know, that was ran by the Harrington's. Right. I want to talk about corrupt. So long story, so that I ran into her, says, wow, mafia, I said, you made and there some important people, you're lieutenant governor now. Right in front of Mitt Romney, I said, you remember when I used to gavel your big mouth shut? And she says, who? You know, like, you know who I am. And I said, I was always a thorn on her side. I never liked her howie. She was nothing but a corrupt broad. Yeah, I don't know. She was, she was okay. I, you know, she just was, she wanted to have some kind of career other than her husband. I think her husband is dead now, but she, she just wanted some, some career on her own. And I think, I think Mitt Romney, you know, he was running for governor. And he, he, he said, I need a running mate who's a female. And, you know, I'm a Mormon. So I got to have a Catholic. So he says, Carrie Healy, got to be Catholic, right? And he picked her. I don't think he knew she was Protestant. But it was too late. I mean, she wasn't a bad, she wasn't a terrible person. I don't know. But she was just a, she was rich. And she, that I gave her the nickname Muffy. And it, it, it was stuck. And it was, I must say it was one of my better nicknames. It's, uh, because she was very privileged, even though, you know, she was from Daytona Beach, Florida, kind of a blue collar part of the Sunshine State. And she went up to Harvard though and, you know, kind of learned to become one of the beautiful people. I think she lived in Beverly Farms, actually. You know, one of the ritzier parts of the North Shore. That's no doubt about that. 844-542-42. So now Trump is back from the EPA headquarters, and he's at the White House, and he's with the L.A. Dodgers.

I wonder if he's going to mention Brooklyn. Nah, probably not. That's too far in the past. Okay. Anyway, we've been talking about going to Brandon Gill. This stuff is just hilarious. And he is so, all he does, he's perfected. how to handle these people. He just does a lot of research or he has good staff and they do research and they just look back at what these people have written or what they've said at various conferences or on MSDNC or wherever. And he just asked them if they if they still believe this. John Robert F. Kennedy Jr. does some of this with judicial nominees. He did during the Biden years, and he could humiliate him pretty well. But Brandon Gill is really doing a great job in the House. So anyway, this is Brandon Gill, Republican of Texas in his first term with the president of the American Bar Association, Michelle Pinky. And she's black. So that plays into it because he's asking her about things like diversity and quotas. Cut one. Ms. Banky, according to the ABA's website, quote, all of us have implicit biases. Would you agree with that statement? The ABA believes that diversity, equity, and inclusion improves the practice. Would you agree with the statement that, quote, all of us have implicit biases from the ABA's website? The ABA believes that diversity in all of its' Is that a yes? Can I take that? It's a yes or no question. Do you believe that all of us have implicit biases, as your website says? The ABA looks to remove barriers and we examine. That's not my question, ma'am. Do you believe that all of us have implicit biases? I've expressed. I've expressed what the ADA is doing. That is the ABA's position as expressed by their website. Against which groups do you have implicit biases? The ABA believes that it's important to always explain. Are you going to filibuster because it doesn't make you sound very good? So. He doesn't have a judge he can appeal to. All he can do is just keep asking the question over and over. There's no judge that can direct the witness to answer the question. So we just ask a question again. Cut two. I'm going to ask you again, against which groups do you have implicit biases? It's important to always examine everyone's point of view and where they may need to consider. It is. What about your point of view? I am here as the president of the American Bar Association. And I'm asking you what your implicit biases are. The ABA as an entity. Have you reflected on your implicit biases? I think about how I operate the world constantly. Would you like to explain to us what they are? I am here speaking on behalf of the ABA and the ABAs. We're going to move on. If you think about them constantly, it should be pretty easy to list them. Implicit by everyone has them.

support quotas. I'm not asking about quotas. I'm asking if it should roughly resemble America's racial makeup. It should represent all of what people are. Of what people are. Okay. So right now, there's about two of nine of Supreme Court justices are black. That's about 22% of the Supreme Court. According to your testimony, about 13% of America's population is black. If the Supreme Court should... roughly resemble America's demographic makeup as the ABA states is proper. In your opinion, regardless of qualifications, should the Senate refuse to confirm a third black Supreme Court justice? The ABA supports and encourages diversity in all of its forms. That wasn't my question. My question was if a Supreme Court vacancy opens up, should the Senate refuse to confirm a third black Supreme Court nominee based on his race or her race? The ABA does not support quotas. The ABA does support some sort of, and hopefully we'll get into that. The ABA does support making sure the ethnic makeup has a specific amount. But my time is up, so we will move on. And you know what happened? Another Republican congressman gave him his time. It's kind of like the old ABA, Jared, come to think of it. You know, if somebody has the hot hand, you feed him the ball. Let him keep drilling it as long as he's got the hot hand. Just keep giving it to him. It's the way to get. It's teamwork. 917 says not too long ago, Representative Gill asked a planned parenthood person what her favorite abortion procedure was. I'd say that's a legitimate question. And he got graphically into the details, too, to make it more uncomfortable for her. 844, 500, 42, 42, 71. How can you do business being forced to do this when you want the best and the most qualified? I know, I know. I want the best, most qualified doctor. He was talking about that, Professor, Professor Sheffey. And I certainly want the most qualified airline pilot when I'm on, when I'm 35,000 feet in the air. 844-5-4-4-42. I'm Howie Car. Howie Car will return.

Howie Car is back. The Dodgers look like they're having a good time. They're laughing at his jokes. Everybody, of course, it's a beautiful day. Bill, you're next with Howie Car. Go ahead, Bill. I thought they kept saying ADA. Did they, when they were talking about racial quotas and stuff? I thought the ADA was, unless I heard of it. No, no, it's ABA, the American Bar Association. This is the accrediting group for lawyers. It's like a, it's a big deal. Oh, I know it is. I'm not saying that, but I thought the P was a D. And I'm saying, how the hell are they getting that out of the ADA? Okay. Thank you. Okay, thanks, Bill. Dave, you're next with Howie Carr. Go ahead, Dave. Hey, Howie, listen, after hearing that our real honorable statesman from Texas, I can't help but bet he's a rush baby. And I hope we got a whole bunch more of them, too, because he nailed him down, and just like you would, too, you know what I mean? that just stick to the facts, ma'am, and stay on the question. Don't let them distract you. And I love it. I love it. I love it. I hope we have a whole lot more guys like that and girls that will step up because we need some real representation, some real stuff. statesmen in government. You know, Dave, sometimes you used to, especially in the past, you used to see these Republicans asking questions, and you think they're just trying to make sure they get invited to the next cocktail party in Georgetown. I don't think Brandon Gill cares whether he gets an invitation to, you know, some salon where somebody from the Obama administration is holding court. I don't think he gives a flying, you know what, a rolling donut about that. Oh, and the more they hate them, the more I love him, just like with Trump. You know what I mean? And I love it. And I think it's good. We've got to get in their face, man. Yeah. In a nice way, but we've got to be deliberate. Yeah, he's not rude. He's just asking the questions. Just the facts, ma'am. Just the facts. Like Joe Friday and Dragnet. Cut. Thanks, Dave. Cut seven. The mission statement on the ABA's website states that our legal profession is enhanced when judges resemble the cultural groups that make up American society. How many Supreme Court justices have we had in American history? I could not tell you over the... It's about 116. Do you know of those 116? How many of them have been transgender? I have no idea. Do you think there might have been one? I have no idea. Is it fair to say that there have been no transgender Supreme Court justices in American history? I honestly have no idea. You don't know? I have no idea. You study the law, don't you?

We do not study the personal attributes of individual justices. Is there a Supreme Court justice in American history that you think might have been transgender? I have no idea. You have no idea? Well, I think most people can assume that there haven't been any transgender Supreme Court justices. I hope that we can agree, at least on that basis. Would that be okay to proceed under that assumption? Okay. I appreciate that. I'm not a, I'm not a biologist. Oh, that's good stuff. I'm how we car.
