Today's podcast is brought to you by the Burna non-lethal pistol. Now more than ever, you need a Burna. To learn more, go to burna.com/howie. [Music] Better strap yourself in. It's time for the Howie Car Show. President is going to step aside and allow Harris. I would like to see that. Imagine what can be and be unburdened by what has been. Prominent Democrat Congressman Adam Schiff told donors Saturday quote, "I think if he is our nominee, I think we lose." The clock is ticking loudly. Live from the Matthews Brothers Studios. The problem with Biden has is that he has gone out for the last three weeks to try to turn the narrative around. No billionaire should pay a tax ain't lower than a teacher, a firefighter, a nurse. Some are working like a belt. You know anyone who works at Batman? I'm awesome at utility belts. This is where the Batman keeps his money, and Casey has to take the bus. [Music] Like America's first high-speed rail line, it's going to take you from Las Vegas to Los Angeles in two hours, or 30, guess what, save millions of times because of pollution. Rum swabs, hacks, and moon bounce beware. It's... [Music] Howie Car. [Music] Yeah. He's back on the road to recovery. He's going to pull up another Harry Truman this year. When did Harry Truman die? He's in about the same position as Harry Truman after his death. That's where his oratorical skills, his political skills lie. Of course, the Republican convention is going on, and we'll be talking about the speeches, and it seems like a pretty impressive gathering so far. Everybody is unified, and everybody's making good speeches. They've got a good... I'm not going to use the word diversity. They have a good cross-section of Americans that are making the addresses to the crowd, and then you have Joe Biden. It's just... It really is amazing. We played you some of those cuts last night from the NAACP convention, but Jared went back and got some more this morning, and it's just... It's amazing, but I think we have to lead. I just want to play some cuts, and we've got 50 of them today, too, so we can spread them out. If you like Joe Biden cuts, this is going to be a fun day for you. I hope every day is a fun day, but this day you're going to enjoy it. I was thinking when I wrote the column a week ago Sunday saying, "I deserve a Pulitzer Prize for being there first." I thought, "Maybe I don't have to write any more of these Biden columns. Give myself these splitting headaches, transcribing this stuff." But as Jared pointed out to me, someday it's going to end, and it could end at any moment. It's not like this guy is going to go out on the lecture tour and make big box. I mean, we're never going to see this guy again. He's going to disappear into an iron lung with his cases of tapioca pudding and his remote control so that only gets two channels Nick at night and me TV. That's it? And then he'll never be seen again. So I'm going to have to do a column on Friday with all these cuts. But here's the one. You probably didn't catch it in the intro because it's very fast, but the guy really is a wordsmith. I think the phrase used to be "Silver tongue devil." Listen to this. This is cut 51. No billionaire should pay attention to the teacher, a firefighter, a nurse. Someone working like a belt. Someone who's working like a belt. I thought about my belt here. I don't think my belt gets a lot of work. I have two belts. I got them at the Joseph A. Bank a few years ago, and they seem to have nowhere in terror on them. You know, how about working like a pair of shoes? I mean, shoes work hard. They get worn down belts. I mean, unless it's Jerry Nadler's belt, maybe. You know, let's hear that one again. No billionaire should pay attention to the teacher, a firefighter, a nurse. Someone working like a belt. Working like a belt. Even a shirt works harder than a belt. Because you know, it has to get tucked into your pants, and you know, it's kind of dark down there, and there's not much air getting circulated around. I mean, all the items of clothing on the body, a belt is the least hard working, but there it is. All right. 844-542. So now this is one from yesterday. And so, you know, when he isn't grasping, sometimes you're grasping for a word, and the only word that comes up is belt. But what's an alternative word if you suddenly draw a blank? What's the right word to use? This is from the NAC, not the NACP. It's the NAC conference yesterday in Vegas. Cut 34. We're going to bring rent sounds, as I said. We're going to build 2 million affordable homes. The cap rent increases at 5% a year, so corporate landlords can't go. Anyway. Can't go out. Oh, now I think you saw a gouge. Is gouge that tough of a word? It's not a terribly common word, but on the other hand, it's not one of those real tongue-tying words, is it? All right. 844-542. 42-844-542. (laughing) Cut 4. Look, in June of '47, 1947, Harry Truman be carrying the first president to speak at this convention. Did I say 41? 41 is the one I'm looking for. We're also providing and proving that Wall Street didn't build America. See, again, he's mixing. Sometimes he just switches in midstream. Sometimes we're providing. He meant to say prove. Sometimes we're providing and proving. So what are you going to do now that we know that Wall Street didn't provide and prove America? What did you do, Joe? Cut 42. As soon as I came to office, I signed the American Rescue Plan to turn things around. To turn things around. Vote for Biden. He turned things around. Worse than mumble. At least mumbles knew what he was saying. He just had a large tongue that was too large for his mouth that he couldn't spit out the words. Biden has no clue what he's saying. Cut 40. The days that failed trickle down economics are over. We're building the economy for the middle of the bottom up. Now, I... This is my dad. What's... Are they focused grouping these things? What's more effective that make voters more likely to vote for Bran than when he says he's going to turn things around or when he's going to build from the bottom nop? It's a 844-500-42. This is... Now, this next one is what you might call a Freudian slip given the Biden crime family and the protection rackets that he's been involved in and he has his own personal bag man who's a crackhead convicted felon, stripper-chaser alcoholic. But that doesn't make him a bad guy. Cut 50. I'm going to make sure billionaires have to pay a minimum of 25 percent. Which isn't even the highest racket. Which isn't even the highest racket. Oh, man. A racket. The highest racket. 844-500-42-42. What month is all this going to take place, Joe? What month? Cut 47. And total drug costs beginning in January. Now, sometimes when he means to say January 60, he says June 6th or July 6th, right? But at least, in that case, it starts with the same letter. You know, it's like when people call me Harry, like Mr. Garcia instead of Howie. But how do you confuse January and September? And you scale my suga-baddy in the radio. You know, someone just pointed out, forget Jerry Nadler, the hardest-working belt in politics belongs to Chris Christie. (laughter) I think that's correct. 844-500-42-42. (laughter) Oh, my goodness. All right. We got a lot to get to here today, and we got a lot of VIPs here today. Give yourselves a round of applause, guys.

It's funny because Peter Navarro got out of prison today. He did four months for contempt of Congress for that Kangaroo Court committee, and so I had Jared leave a message on his cell phone. So I assume our numbers will be in the next FISA warrant, and they'll be tracking all of my calls, Jared's calls, everybody's calls, but they can't open this guy's phone, supposedly. That's very believable, very believable. So the conservative treehouse today says, according to what little data footprint is available and shared with media, Thomas Matthew Crooks, age 20, D-O-B 9-20-03, had no social media presence. Let that sink in for a moment. A 20-year-old in 2024 with no social media presence. No TikTok, WhatsApp, Telegram, Snapchat, Insta, Twit, FB Gaming Profile, or Apple ID to correspond with his almost guaranteed iPhone, Xbox, or PlayStation. Is that even close to plausible? And the picture, the guy points out to the picture. It's from his freshman high school photo. That's his freshman high school photo. It's the same way with, what was it, Trayvon Martin? You know, they used the picture of him from his first communion or something. Like he wasn't, it's ridiculous. Okay, so that anyway, that's the, that's the prologue for the poll question.

What are the, what are the results thus far? Today's poll question, which you can vote in at HowieCarShow.com, is do you believe the media narrative that the 20-year-old Trump shooter had zero social media? No, I do not believe that. 93% of the audience agrees with you. 844-542-42. Carter, you're next with Howie Carr. Go ahead, Carter. Hey, Howie. It's a first-time caller, long-time listener. Thank you. I wanted to discuss a little bit about what Biden said about the income tax, billionaires, millionaires versus a poor old truck driver like me. Yes. Instead of raising, instead of raising the so-called income tax on the billionaires and millionaires, why don't we lower the income tax on guys like me making $50,000 a year to 15%? Isn't that basically what they pay capital gains around 15%? Well, I don't know. I think it depends individually on, you know, how much they, you know, how much they pay. But I think, you know, I mean, it's not, it's when he keeps talking about they pay 8%. That's BS anyway. And he's been, he's been called out even by state-run media about lying about that. And by the way, why does it, you know, don't they say charity starts at home? I would say paying taxes starts at home too. His son is going to go on trial in September for millions of dollars in income tax evasion. He set up an S-Corp to avoid paying his quote unquote fair share of Medicare and Social Security taxes when he, when he left office as vice president. So who is he to be accusing other people of, you know, short-changing, short-changing the government? You know, the, Carter, every time they cut taxes, whether it's under J, income taxes, whether it's under JFK or Ronald Reagan or Donald Trump in 2017, do you know what happened, Carter? They got a lot more money flowing into the U.S. treasury. Exactly right. And it works every time you try it. Like with the Trump tax, Scott. Yeah. It's going to set, set sunset in 2025. When that, it was enacted, I got 34 more dollars a week in my paycheck and that now it's going to be taken away. Right. He makes it sound like, you know, we're ending the Trump tax cuts, which only benefited billionaires. And again, their own numbers show 91% of the American people ended up with more money in their pocket after that tax cut, 91%. And guess what, they had all time high revenue reaped by the IRS in the after those years. I mean, it's ridiculous. Thanks for the call, Carter. Dave, you're next with how he thinks we're stupid. That's all. He thinks we're all real. You could see it in what he says. We're not Joe. I got one. We may not be the smartest people in the world, but we're smarter than you are. Of course, that's not saying much. Dave, you're next with how we are. Go ahead, Dave. Hey, Howie. I don't know if you saw it. When Slow Joe was given his speech last night, he was probably was referring to the 5% cap on the red insurance, he used the word, we will say cap it at $55. And you can hear the audience gasp like, was that true? Or was that just a mistake? But go back and get it. He says he used the $55 as a cap for their rent increases as opposed to 5%. Slow Joe does it again. I've said this for years now. What fool writes a number into a speech for him to deliver? He can't, whether it's 5 or 55 or trillion. You know, the trillionaires. Remember the trillionaires in the debate or the bridge that was going to cost $60,000,000? He doesn't know what he's saying. But at least if you give him words, maybe he can get the words out. He has a better chance than with numbers. 844-500-42-42. The description of the shooter with no social media sounds like he has a fake background like a CIA operative. 860. Exactly. I mean, that's what Cory Mills is saying. You know, you don't want to come out as a conspiracy theorist. But again, what kind of 20-year-old has no social media? A guy just texted me and said, "I'm 67 years old. I have more social media than he does." Then they say he does. 844-500-42-42. I'm Howie Carr. Live from the Matthews Brothers Studios. 844-500-42-42. Biden proposes nationwide rent control. I'll just read you a little bit of the Wall Street Journal editorial this morning. It's hard to think of a worse idea than imposing rent control nationwide through the tax code. How about opening the southern borders? How about shutting down the Keystone Pipeline? Well, this is worse than the shutdown, the Keystone Pipeline. It would reduce investment in new supply and drive up rents in units not subject to government caps. Look at New York City where nearly half of units are rent stabilized and the average one bedroom apartment costs $4,300 a month. As Mr. Biden's re-election prospects grow more dire, his policy lurches to the left that is becoming ever more radical. And of course, this isn't going to happen because, as the Wall Street Journal points out, this is all about tax depreciation that schedules are set by statute, so Congress would have to enact Mr. Biden's new national rent control plan. But that's assuming that he follows the Constitution. With the student loans, he didn't give a bleep. He said that. But if Trump's elected, it'll be the end of democracy. Trump will never leave the White House. Now Adam Schiff is asking Biden to leave the White. 21 Democrats in Congress. I have the full statement from Adam Schiff if you'd like to hear it. It's pretty short. Okay, as long as it's short, is it as short as Adam Schiff? President Biden has been one of the most consequential presidents in our nation's history. That starts off with the lie. Okay, that's classic. I don't know. Is that a lie? He has been consequential. Oh, yeah. It's like when they say he's record-breaking or, you know, it's an unprecedented presidency. They're not wrong, technically. And his lifetime of service as a Senator, a Vice President, and now as President has made, here's the lie, has made our country better. Now that one, how you can fact check. But our nation is at a crossroads. A second Trump presidency will undermine the very foundation of our democracy. And I have serious concerns about whether the President can defeat Donald Trump in November. That's it? Yeah. Well, I think there's a little bit more about passing the torch, which people can... I'm sure everyone here has this subscription to the LA Times, so you guys can just grab that. You can just grab that when you leave. Thank you. You can look that up. Yeah. So Adam Schiff, though... Vote for Garbie. Calling for... He was a great first baseman. He'll be an even better Senator. Calling for Joe Biden to resign. And this is on the heels of a very bad news day. He's had several in a row. It's hard for him to break out of this. Well, we found out about the Zoom call. And we still don't have the Zoom call how it hasn't been leaked yet. I have a feeling it's going to come out soon. I don't think this one stays under wraps. I don't know. I don't know. I mean, you know, the thing is it goes against the narrative. I mean, as I tweeted this out and I said, this is the same media that gave itself Pulitzer prizes for making bleep up. Making stuff up. Now they can't get a video, audio, of the President of the United States screaming at Congressmen. A Bronze Star Congressman to boot. Claiming that the guy who was actually in combat, a guy named Jason Crow from Colorado. His Bronze Star isn't worth as much as Bow Biden's. Who was a jag? I mean, he served. He served. But I don't believe he was in combat. Howie, I was working on something during the first opening. Did you read the quote yet from Joe Biden from the Zoom call? No, go ahead. First of all, this is again to the Bronze Star veteran. I think you're dead wrong on national security. You saw what happened recently in terms of the meeting we had with NATO. I put NATO together. Name me a foreign policy leader who thinks I'm not the most effective leader in the world on foreign policy. Tell me, tell me who the hell that is. Tell me who put NATO back together. NATO started in 1949. So he was seven years old. He was in the first or second grade when he put NATO together. Tell me who did something that you've never done with your Bronze Star like my son. And I'm proud of your leadership, but guess what? What's happening? We've got Korea and Japan working together. I put August together anyway. Things are in chaos and I'm bringing some order to it. And again, find me a world leader who's an ally of ours. And he's putting it back to it. It's like an arsonist who sets a building on fire and then shows up to help the volunteer fire department put it out. Yeah. And it's also one of the biggest things he loves to trot out that really drives me crazy is that all of these foreign policy leaders and all of our allies are so excited that he's president because all that tells me is that we have terrible allies if this is the case. And behind the scenes are like, oh, we're loving it, Joe, we hope you get another four years. They clearly want to see our demise. They're clearly not working for our best interest. They just want someone they can take advantage of. And I would expect that from some countries, but not our actual allies. They're supposed to want the world to be strong and the world is strong when America is strong. And I think it's pretty obvious to everyone that that's not happening right now. Why are the Iranians interested in killing Trump more than they're interested in killing Biden? It's almost as if they think that they've done better under Biden than they've done under Trump. I mean, what other conclusion. Think about what you'd think about. Whether conclusion, can you draw from the statements from Biden's own administration? I don't think Donald Trump gave them zero. Joe Biden gave them $40 billion. I just would like to say that the whole Iranian plot to kill Donald Trump seems very convenient for it to come out right now. I know God forbid I sound like a conspiracy theorist. I'm just saying that I'm very skeptical of all this information we're getting. So right after a shooter is able to get 400 feet away from the president on a sloped roof and shoot at him, we find out that there's also all these security failures and that they're very nervous about the Iranians trying to kill him. If that's the case, Howie, and I know I said this yesterday, but I can't stop thinking about it. If you think that the former president is going to be attacked by Iran and that they're going to, they have a plot to kill him, this is the team you send in, a woman who can't even holster her own gun. You know, I, you think you'll be top security. As you know, I'm, I'm a guy who doesn't have like a broader vision, geopolitically. I look at things to the microscope of my, the prism of my own life, Whitey Bulger. I remember when Whitey Bulger was setting up John Callahan to be killed and he went to his hit man, John Connolly, who worked for the FBI and he said, zip. First I want you to put in a report saying the Italians, the mafia wants to kill Callahan. Okay. He wrote that down. Here's the zip. I want you to put in a report. Charles down wants to kill Callahan, puts that report in a week later, zip. Say the Cubans are going to kill Callahan. So to that you, so then he killed Callahan and there's all of these suspects that you can point to. Right. Isn't that just common sense though, that there really is to me, common sense is like, okay, let's, let's make sure we let everyone know that there's a lot of people who want to kill Trump. That doesn't make me feel better. And if this is how you guys handle threats to Trump is leaving him with the JV team when he's on a stage in Butler, Pennsylvania, then I'm more nervous than I've ever been. I don't feel confident in the Secret Service. No, 201 says, who would have ever imagined that Adam Schiff was to stab somebody in the back? He is the biggest, so far how he, I think he's the biggest name to turn on Joe Biden. Don't you think? Yeah, cause you, you know, he's, he's got, he's going to be a Senator. I, I hope he isn't, but he probably is going to be a Senator. He's probably got a campaign war chest of 35 million bucks. He's a total turd. And if you don't believe it, just remember he's from Framingham, Massachusetts and he went to Harvard Law School case closed. Yeah, I want to get to the DNC because this is also important and we'll consider whether or not Joe Biden's going to stay in the race. The first, I want to let people know that Grace's news is brought to you by TuxTrucks GMC. Get a 2024 GMC Sierra HD, the truck that works as hard as you do. TuxTrucks GMC in Hudson, Mass has 2500 and 3500 HD models, like the Denali Ultimate Pro Duramax in some with work bodies for landscapers shop online at tuxtrucks GMC.com. Okay. So here is a piece from Axios, it says the DNC is quietly steaming ahead with plans to technically nominate president Biden weeks before the party's convention next month. So this was this story I printed out this morning, how we about how they want to do this virtual roll call so they can cement the fact that this is the guy. Nothing in the next couple of weeks is going to change that and then have this convention, which is really just more of a formality. It seems though that these are the people that are trying to push this through all the code holders around them who are making millions off of him and have made millions off of him, the people who are actually going to be on the ballot, down ballot from him in November, they want to get rid of him. What does that tell you? Yeah. Well, also this is three hours ago. So again, I printed it at like 10 o'clock before my show. And then now there's a report out from the Huffington Post Democrats fighting over virtual roll call to nominate Joe Biden before the convention. Fast forwarding, the nomination process is no way to convince the many unconvinced voters in the growing number of battleground states. That was from a representative, a Democrat representative from Texas. So now there's a lot of pushback that, hey, we don't want you, we don't want you to speed ahead with this. We still want time to figure out if he's going to be the guy. And so I don't know if they want to do away with the virtual roll call altogether and just wait for the convention, but it seems like there are some Democrats, Adam Schiff's probably on board with this, that are not in a rush to push Biden through. 508, please, not everyone from framing him as a turd. The point, the point is not to single framing him out of the 351 cities and towns. It's the fact that he's from Massachusetts, that exponentially as Biden would put it increases the odds that you are a turd exponentially, it does and I stand by that. I want to point out here for people that you can check out. I haven't posted it yet. I'm going to post it in about 10 minutes. There's an article that I'm posting of all of the different ways Biden has told us he's not getting out of the race. That includes the Lord Almighty would have to come down and tell me to get out of the race. I'd have to get hit by a train. I'd have to be shown that there's no way I could win. That has changed drastically. There's been a major pivot in this and I include all of those videos and you can look at them. And also I included Adam Schiff's statement just for kicks. So we will take a message from the doctor. Does that include Dr. Jill? Dr. Jill, where has she been? She's going to give a different opinion, a different medical opinion from the people with MDs. Hey, well, I'm here. Do you want me to read this clap back from Amber Rose that I told you about today? Sure. So Amber Rose spoke the first night of the RNC. She was the rapper slash TV personality. A lot of the VIPs are saying she was so wonderful. She did a very good job. Some people weren't happy that she was put up there but she did a great job and Joy Reed was one of the people who was very critical and Joy Reed said, "I don't want to say she's black because she has said she's not so I don't want to say this black woman." And then Reed went on to criticize her credentials and you know whether or not people should trust her. And Amber Rose wrote on social media, "Hi Joy Reed, I've never said I wasn't black. I said I identify as biracial. I'm not going to invalidate my white father to make you feel more comfortable. Stop being a race baiter, your president does enough race baiting for all of us." To which Joy Reed responded, "Stop being a race baiter. That's my job." That's why I get paid the big bucks. Right. All right, Halle, that's it for me. Okay, so you're going to be posting all the Biden stuff. Yes, everyone give me like two minutes and then go to HalleCarsha.com and check it out. What happened to Amber Rose? He's working hard like a belt. After the horrific events over the weekend, now more than ever, you should consider getting a burner.

And if you haven't checked out my new episode of Meet the Experts with owner Brian Gantz, listen today wherever you get your Howie Car Show podcasts. I'm Howie Car. Howie Car will be right back. He's Howie Car, and he's back. You know, it was really great, you know, four years ago when Trump had the angel bombs with him and it had him standing behind him. We had some of them on the air and some of the angel dads too. But you know what? It's even better to have them speaking themselves like last night, the woman whose son was killed in Manhattan and the woman whose son died of a fentanyl overdose. I mean that's just more effective to have an actual victim up there than just to be talking about it. As effective as all this, this is, eight, four, four, five hundred, forty-two, forty-two. My herald column today, it had the picture of the three guys from Braintree, the illegal aliens. I call them the Biden burglary banditos from Braintree. They're all newcomers to our land and now they're under arrest and I'm sure they'll be cut free very shortly by Mike Morrissey, the district attorney of our esteemed county here, Norfolk County, from John Adams to Michael Morrissey. Yikes, yikes, eight, four, four, five hundred, forty-two, forty-two, Paul, you're next with Howie Car. Hey, Howie, you know, I really resent this redistribution of wealth with it taking the taxpayer's money, the blood-sweating tears, and they give it to unaudited, foreign governments and these aliens whom they deemed to serve it more than the people who made it. Why can we not keep our taxes for like one or two years ourselves, since we earned it and what we want would it? I agree, Paul, you know, what's even worse is, you know, this income redistribution, it doesn't work. It's just going to further pervert the free housing market. It's going to make housing worse. I mean, the reason why Cambridge and Boston got rid of rent control, the whole state got rid of rent control, is it didn't work? It didn't work. And now they're trying to bring it back, but fortunately, there were a few people in the legislature who remembered what a disaster it was and they stopped it. But sooner or later, those people are going to be gone and they're going to bring rent control back. And it's just, it's disastrous. And so, you know, if it's the so-called benefits of this 5% cap or only for corporate landlords with more than 50 units, I don't think it's a benefit anyway, this depreciation. It's like they, you know, they're giving all the, they want to give the billions to the chip manufacturers or as Biden calls it, the cheap manufacturers. And but they put in so many, so many writers and requirements on it like DEI. So you have to hire more incompetent people who can't do anything. So, so even though they're offering $12 billion, the chip makers are just sending more and more over, more and more industry manufacturing over to South Korea and Taiwan because they don't have to deal with this nonsense, you know, sustainability and, and, and the DEI. Thanks. Thanks for the call, Steve. Paul. Stephen, you're aware, no, we're out of time. We'll get to, we'll get to more calls in the, in the next hour, 844, 542, 42. How about cut 33 on the way out, Jared, cut 33 from Biden. I know you're saying, Joe, you may not have a Congress. Well, guess what? Y'all told me I couldn't pass the inflation reduction act. Y'all told me I couldn't face it anyway, we did it, we're here help. I was looked, the one I was looking for was signed a Hasidic order on police reform. I'm Howie Carr. (dramatic music)
