(upbeat music) - Better strap yourself in. It's time for the Howie Car Show. (camera shutter) - She has some bad moments. Her moments are almost as bad as it is. I think his or worse actually. - I don't feel no ways tired. - Way, way, way. - And you all helped us win in 2020 and we're gonna do it again in 2024. - It's weird. The whole thing is weird. This is not a president of the United States future. - Live from the Matthews Brothers Studios. - Rule that the way the Justice Department has been picking special councils for decades is illegal. - Do I look like somebody who would make that basic mistake about the law? - Yes, you do. - Who's your captain, Howie Car? - Corporate needs you to find the differences between this picture. - As my friend Quavo would say, he does not walk it like he talks it. - And this picture. - Created Pokemon Go. But I try to figure out how we get them to have Pokemon go to the polls. - They're the same picture. - Rump swabs, hacks, and moon bats beware. It's... (upbeat music) Howie Car. (buzzer) - Merrick Garland, boy, he really is dumb. You know, I know he went to Harvard and Harvard and he's a beautiful person and he has a big trust bond that he's never worked that day in his life. You know, so he's obviously superior to you and me, but I mean, did he think that he didn't have to follow the law? The law says the special prosecutor has to be an employee of the Justice Department. I think it also says you have to be a US attorney, meaning you have to have been approved by the United States Senate. You know, like Josh Levy, the guy in Boston, he's the acting US attorney. He replaced Rachel Rollins after she got fired, basically, for all kinds of corrupt behavior. But he's never been approved by the Senate, so he's acting US attorney. But it says you have to appoint a US attorney to be special prosecutor. This guy was working in a foreign land. He was working in the Netherlands or somewhere. I mean, and Merrick Garland is angry. I mean, he went to Harvard Law School. You know, like Barack Obama. You should be able to read the appropriate statute. But no, he's a Democrat. I didn't, I didn't, you mean Democrats have to follow the law? Just like Republicans? This is why we need term limits on Supreme Court justices. Mitch McConnell had some really good things to say about that, so we'll get to that this hour. But first, it's time for the Trump line. [MUSIC] Trooper Proctor threw his name in the ring for the head of the Secret Service, but being a stout, he's now vying for the new Secret Service Office of professional malfeasance. [MUSIC] Yeah, we've got some sound cuts to play from Norfolk County to they finally sent an anti-bev finally sentence, the guy who killed the cop and the old lady in Weymouth way back when it took two trials to convict. But they finally did, and they sentenced the guy. I think they gave an extra 10 years for killing the old lady. I'm told that this thug, his name is Lopes, will be eligible for parole. Even though he got two life sentences under Massachusetts, leading heart law, he'll be eligible for parole when he's 60 years old. Mayor Manino, what do you think about these hearings about the attempted Trump assassination? That's one thing that really prised my nose. Why do you think there wasn't enough security at the event? That was because the Patrolman Association forbade any of the police officers from doing details. What did the Secret Service do? And doing something that didn't be done. Should the people of Boston be worried? The police went straight and there's manpower. I wrote there every day to see the validity of those information. If people see Elizabeth Warren's double gang around a roof with a shotgun, what should they do? If there is a, there's something suspicious out there, call 9-1-1. Thank you, Mayor Manino. Thank you. Have we got our friend those cuts yet? He's got them, okay, that's good, that's good. So there should be more of those in the coming days. 844-542-42.

Contact them today at howicargold.com. Howicargold.com. Kamala Harris' accent is legit in Southern Canada. I googled her high school, West Mount High School in Montreal. They said it's an anglophone school. I guess that means it's English bacon, obviously, but I'm not even, that's a Canadian type word. You know, we don't even think about it. Maybe with all the illegal aliens coming in with some day have anglophone schools in the United States, or we'll have to describe them thusly. There are other reports of a Hamas leader being assassinated in Tehran, where he incorrect. Apparently, he was just hit by travel. [laughter] They had a picture of him yesterday, before he got his 72 virgins and he was meeting with the head mala, the head terrorist in Tehran. And they said the guy from the Palestinian front was on the same couch with him, but he was like way in the side. You know, it was always like they used to say in the old days when whitey was looking for you. You don't want to stand too close to that guy. This guy didn't want to sit too close to him. [laughter] When Kamala Harris was asked when she thought about Beirut, she said, "Let me be perfectly clear. I thought he was a pretty good ball player." [laughter] You know, she's never been, she's never been to Lebanon, but she did have some Lebanese food once with Willy. [laughter] Merrick Garland asked a very pertinent question. He asked, "Am I as stupid as I look?" [laughter] Yeah. Again, there's some questions you don't ask because you don't want to know the answer still. You know, again, go back to Whitey Bulger. Whitey, are you looking to kill me? [laughter] No, you don't what? Don't ask the question unless you're positive you want to know the answer. Ollie, I didn't know Kamala Harris was an Indian. Is she from the same tribe as Elizabeth Warren? [laughter] She's from the same tribe of people who've never worked for a living. That's for sure. I wonder how many times she took the bar exam. I wrote about a guy today, a state senator who took the bar exam unsuccessfully six times. I was talking to a couple of lawyers, they say, "You know, usually people give up after they flunk four times." This guy, Timothy, he's running for a clerk of courts now in Norfolk County. It doesn't say he's a state senator on the ballot. He has flunked the bar exam more than JFK Jr. Daval Patrick and Hillary Clinton. Combined! [laughter] I don't know Trump directly. I know him indirectly, but for you, he's been a white male. And then, suddenly, he just happens to turn orange. Somebody should look into that. [beep] [laughter] He's been orange for a long time. It's Joe Biden that needs to be investigated. He just turned orange about two months ago. [beep] Acting Director Ron Ruttrow, R-O-M-D. [beep] I wish I'd thought of that. That should be his nickname, Ron Ruttrow. [laughter] The Democratic Party has chosen Kamala Harris as their candidate because democracy is too important to be left in the hands of the voters. [beep] That's right. That's right. It's an attack on... So, someone pointed this out today that the Democrats have said much less lately about attacks on democracy. Since their own nuclear attack on the primary process. Hi, Harry. Governor Patrick calling for Milton. And Governor Bill Welke from Kam. As you know, today's our birthday. And we're gonna party, Joe. With my friend, Judge Annie Bev. And my friend, Jessica Harris. McAlperch. There'll be some Jamison and Ginger. And a lot of late night, not now, I hit it, Joe. We're gonna be fine. We're gonna be wasting, Joe. [beep] [laughter] Padlock all the usual suspects. The waterfall. Shipwrecked. Joe Amado's. Cafe down in Brockton. [music] [beep] That was your last jump line message. Thank you for calling Howie Carr. You chump. I want to know if Meatball Morrissey is gonna have his annual fundraiser this year. He usually has it at the end of August at the Adams Inn. In North Quincy. That could be one to call out the National Guard for her. [laughter] There were disturbances in the parking lot last year. And that would be nothing compared to what would happen this year. I think the party's gonna be a little sub-roza. I heard Proctor hasn't gotten his invitation yet. He's asking people if it's been lost in the mail. [laughter] All right. That's it for the jump line today.

Today's jump line is brought to you by American Independence Gold Group.

This investment could be cash or IRA transfer. Contact them today at HowieCarGold.com. That's HowieCarGold.com. Earlier reports of a Hamas leader being assassinated in Tehran were incorrect. Apparently, he was just hit by shrapnel. Yeah, I think that report was erroneous though. But now I ran his vowing all-out conflict against Israel. Bring it on. Bring it on, I think the Israelis are saying. I'm HowieCar. The HowieCar Show. HowieCar is back. Today's poll question is brought to you by Eden Rafferty, Attorneys at Law. If you need advice on family law, check out my Meet the Expert podcast with Attorney Joe Roach wherever you get your HowieCar Show podcast. Jared, what's the poll question? What are the results thus far? Today's poll question, which you can vote in at HowieCarShow.com, is how do you feel about Trump's vow to carry out the largest deportation operation in American history? Strongly support, somewhat support, somewhat oppose or strongly oppose? Strongly support. Down to 96% now. Oh, it's raw. There's a backlash now. The illegal alien community. It was 97 an hour ago. Two percent say they somewhat support. One percent strongly oppose this, and still nobody who's somewhat oppose. All right. Eight, four, four, five, hundred, forty-two, forty-two. Someone says Kamala and the fake Indian are from the one attack ship tribe. So Mitch McConnell was asked about this dead-on arrival bill that Brandon is proposing. It's just a cheap campaign ploy to have term limits for the Supreme Court. You know, no term limits for him, but for the Supreme Court. This is what McConnell said on the Senate floor the other day. I couldn't be more disappointed. He has to say things like that. It's totally in character with the man. This is a man who was chairman of the Judiciary Committee for a long time. He absolutely knows what he recommended is unconstitutional to try to limit the terms of the Supreme Court justices who under the Constitution are appointed for life. That shows you the depth to which they have gone lately to attack the Supreme Court because they don't like the current makeup of the court and the decisions they disapprove of. The way to change the makeup of the court is to win the presidency in the Senate and appoint people you like, but not try to break the Supreme Court. This is a level to which I think is simply unacceptable. I know he knows better. Have you seen him lately, Mitch? I know Mitch knows better than to say I know he knows better, but he has to say it. And such a proposal would be dead on arrival in Congress. The Supreme Court is under attack, he also said. He went on to mention how Democrats have incited violence against the court and we've had to put justices under a 24/7 police protection. Even so, a deranged young man is about to go to trial for trying to kill a justice in his family while they slept in order to change the outcome of a case. Now, that would be a guy named Nicholas Roski, R-O-S-K-E. I'm looking him up right now. I have him, I have a story that up about him. This is from National Review two years ago. The man charged with attempting to assassinate Justice Brett Kavanaugh appears to have had a disturbing online presence posting sexually explicit messages in which he identified as a transgender girl and advocated for mass abortion as a means of population control. So he identified, again, this is from the court documents. He identified as a transgender girl and he decided to kill Brett Kavanaugh and his family. That wasn't the only example. McConnell also later mentioned how they "left daily wages warfare against the justices, illegally picketing their neighborhoods with impunity, trying to harm their spouses' careers, even spying on what kinds of flags they fly in their yards." That's the Alito case. That case was so ridiculous that the Washington Post investigated it two years ago, which tries to make the most more recently than just tried to make the Israelis look like they were the ones who bombed the soccer field in the Golan Heights. Even the Washington Post took a look at it and said, "There's no story here." And they took a pass on it. But the New York Times brought it back because it was in service of the party. So Trump is going to be in Pennsylvania for a rally, very shortly. Is this the Butler rally? Is he back? No, this is in Harrisburg. The Butler rally is going to be in a future day. Okay. So this is a different, Harrisburg, the state capital. So he's going to be there. I'm sure he'll have a take on what happened this afternoon at Chicago at the rally. Eight, four, four, five hundred, forty-two, forty-two, eight, four, four, five hundred, forty-two, forty-two. We've got some more stuff. I want to talk about it. I did a meet the experts with the Rizzo brothers today, Dan and Paul. And they told me an interesting -- you talk about inflation. I want to tell you about the auto, what's happening with auto prices and how it's affecting insurance. Just one little story. And maybe we can talk about bi-denomics for a little bit. I'm Howie Garth. ♪♪ ♪♪ Live from the Matthews Brothers Studios. Eight, four, four, five hundred, forty-two, forty-two. This draconian new unconstitutional gun law goes into effect in the Commonwealth tomorrow, at midnight tonight. And I think it doesn't -- you know, it becomes law at midnight, but I don't think it goes into effect for 30 days or October 23rd, October 24th, because Mar Healy did not attach the emergency declaration to it, like Charlie Parker used to do when he wanted to put plexiglass. There's a lot at stake here. Shut up. Shut up. Sorry. I'll never forgive you. Neither will most people. But he -- at least she didn't put an emergency declaration on, but we'll talk more with Toby about it. He's flat out down at Cape Gun Works, as you can imagine. This is total chaos. And I want to ask him about this headline in the -- I will talk to him about this, but I just got to mention -- I was mentioning it to the VIPs. This was a headline in the Herald today about, you know, that the goal has threatened and is going to sue. They're going to -- everybody's going to sue on this, because it's unconstitutional. And so Mariano, another member of the Quincy of Meatball's Mob, right? We're talking about Meatball's Mob, Meatball Morrissey. Mariano, the speaker, says NRA Challenge, a badge of honor. Bring it on. Are you ready for some meatball? Man. This is -- these are the fruits of a one-party state. That's all I could tell you. It's bad. Bad. 844-542-42. I don't know if you've seen this. One of the Secret Service snipers sent out an e-counter sniper, sent out an e-mail to the entire uniform division. That's not agents. And he's saying he wants the five high-level supervisors, either fired or removed from their current positions. Now, Cheetles gone, but the other -- including Rottrow is still there. And this is what he said. We all should -- that's in cap -- should -- should expect another assassination attempt to happen before November. This agency needs to change, if not now when. The next assassination attempt in 30 days, question mark. The foot soldiers' working made the best of a bad situation that resulted in a civilian death and a near miss of the pro-tech tee and our technician shooting and killing the suspect. Our responsibility, our mission, is not about protecting an empty White House located at 1,800 Pennsylvania Avenue. It's about preventing and stopping another JFK-style assassination. In whatever city that may be, sadly, we have fallen short for years. That -- the headline says "chilling warning." That is a chilling warning, predicting that this is -- this is what's going to happen. 844-542-42. I guess before Jared leaves, I'm going to have him tell the story about his experience with binomics the other day. He needed some washer fluid. Listen to this. Before we talk about something that costs a little more, but this is terrible. So I was driving to my work in the Biden utopia. I realized I needed washer fluid, so I stopped at a gas station. Now, admittedly, it's a gas station off the highway, so they tend to run a little more pricey. I got a gallon of washer fluid, just your regular plain blue, not super anything washer fluid, so I picked it off the curb, go inside to the clerk, put it down on the counter. $5.62. A windshield washer fluid. I was like, "I only got one." He's like, "No, I know. That's what it is." Like, are you kidding me? I thought it used to be like 79 cents a Costco or somewhere. And then if you would go into like a 7-Eleven and you needed something, it was a buck 39. You'd say, "I'll just wait." Right? Thanks, Brandon. Yeah. So that's pretty outrageous. But anyway, so I was doing the Meet the Experts about insurance today with Dan and Paul Rizzo from Rizzo Insurance, and you can get your insurance audit from Rizzoinsurance.com. And I was saying, the price of auto insurance has gone through the roof. And part of it is illegal aliens, because you're buying insurance for yourself and for the illegal aliens because they don't have to buy insurance. But there's more to it than that. All cars have more technological parts that are more expensive. But the real expenses are in these EVs. And so Dan or Paul, I forget which one mentioned it, they had a claim recently. And by the way, the deductibles now used to be 100 bucks. We all remember that. And they went to 500. Now they're 1,000 bucks. Most auto insurance is 1,000 bucks. And so they said, here's an example of how much something costs. They had one of their policy holders, has an EV. He went over a pothole. How many times have you been over a pothole? I used to be the pothole editor at the Old Boston Herald America. I'd spend like two hours a day. I'd go out with a photographer and we'd go out and find a big pothole and take a picture of it and then watch some cars losing their hubcaps or something with it. And then we'd take tips on the pothole tip line and then go out and check them out. You know, when they'd be Dorchester the next day bright. You know, so you try to get all the neighborhoods in the city. But you lose a tire, right? That would be like 100 bucks. And in the worst, you'd lose an axle. That would be big trouble, but what? A few grand. So this guy that ensures with Dan and Paul Rizzo, he has the EV. He goes over the pothole and it must be a big pothole and it smashes his battery. So I'm saying what happened? Was there a blast like there was in Tehran last time? How dare you? No, but the battery in the EV was ruined. Do you know how much it cost to replace the battery? Again, a pothole destroyed the battery. A trillion seven hundred million dollars. Close, close Brandon, it cost $14,000 to replace that battery. That's all of my pothole stories in the Boston Herald America back in the 70s. I don't think all those potholes did $14,000 worth of damage. This is one pothole did this. Five oh eight insurance, I don't need no stinking insurance. Well, I was asking them about that. It's become so expensive. People go in the illegal alien route. Of course, the answer is that there are consequences if an American gets pulled over and doesn't have insurance. For one thing, when you finally have to get the insurance to get the car on the road, another car on the road, they'll make you pay 100% up front because you canceled your insurance. And again, illegal aliens, it's just like illegal aliens are illegal aliens going to be impacted by this new gun law? Hell no. No. There's no question about it. This is only going to hassle people who play by the rules. That's all it is. It's just a way to punish people they don't like. People like us. Eight four four five hundred forty two forty two. So we'll have that we'll have that meet the experts up. I don't know when exactly it'll go up, but it'll be up pretty soon. It's pretty interesting. But you can get you can get an insurance audit at rizzoinsurance.com. Eight four four five hundred forty two forty two two oh one. Get rid of the Secret Service and hire Massad. Yeah, they're doing a pretty good job. You think they you think but considering Massad has taken out people in two foreign capitals. You know, hostile foreign capitals Beirut one day and then that night. Tehran. Do you think they would have had a problem taking out that sniper before you got off the first shots? I don't think so. I don't think so. Jack, you're next with Howie Carr. Go ahead, Jack. Hey, how are we good to hear from you? Listen, I was going through my phone last evening and sent a little podcast here with Judge Joe Brown. Let me tell you something. Howie that man x-rated his interview about Kamala. About how she beat him out of a million and half dollars. How sorrow so protect her bank was on and on and on. I highly recommend you look it up. Yeah, I heard a couple of people told me. I heard a couple of people mention that today on my social media. I'll check it out, Jack. I don't know who this guy Joe Brown is that's online, but I'll check it out. There's so much dirt on her. I want to play the cut. Here's another one that's not getting much play, but again, there's so much to get through. Do you remember a fellow by the name of Jesse Smollett? Everybody's chuckling. It seems funny now, but they were trying to portray it as, you know, another insurrection. You know, the MAGA, the MAGA crew was out at 30 below. Temperatures in the Gay neighborhood in Chicago going after this black guy that everybody knew. Although 99% of America when they heard it, Jesse Smollett has been attacked by MAGA wears. Really? Who the hell is Jesse Smollett? Turned out he was a big time fraudster. He paid these Nigerians to attack him. You know, he was convicted of various obstruction of justice filing false police reports. I don't think he's ever gone to the can, but, you know, privilege. Privilege. Not white privilege either. We were talking about this off air with the VIPs. It was obvious from the moment you read more than three paragraphs into the story that was total BS. The Chicago cops knew it was total BS. But you know who didn't know it was total BS? Kamala Harris. She defended him. Here it is. Which tweet? What tweet? About saying that it is a modern day lynching. Sorry. Jesse Smollett. Okay, so I will say this about that case. I think that the facts are still unfolding. And I'm very concerned about obviously. The facts are still unfolding. You notice how, how, how fast she is on her feet. You know? She had no idea what the woman or she had no idea how to respond. You know? I mean, how about we all make mistakes? Or maybe sometimes you regret a tweet you sent out. Or how about, I'm just a dumbass. Pay no attention to my, my alleged credentials as a district attorney and an attorney general of the largest state in the country. I have no clue what I'm talking about. I've never seen a fraud like this. I think that what people need to hear is just the truth. They're not going to hear it from me though because I'm Jesse Smollett. David, you're next with Howie Carr. Go ahead, David. Hi, Howie. Hey, I work for a company that does school buses. You know, they, they're the dealership in the country. And, uh, it's impressive. An electric school bus. So the, uh, the special. Okay. I was really, I was. Sounds like he's on an EV phone. David, we're, we're losing you. I really wanted the call back, please. We wanted to hear from you. Oh man. Taylor puts the, uh, meet the experts together. I hope he pulls, he, he pulls out, you know, a couple of highlights, you know, when we, when we post that. I hope, I hope he pulls out the, uh, the $14,000, uh, car battery. Ruined by a pothole. A pothole. Eight, four, four, five hundred, forty-two, forty-two. I'm Howie Car. Adding your two cents is easier than ever. Call Howie at eight, four, four, five hundred, forty-two, forty-two. Or text the word Howie, followed by your message to six, one, seven, two, one, three, ten, sixty-six. He's Howie Car. Look at that face! Oh my god, I love it. Oh man. You know, we all, we all know by now that when the batteries wear out, you have to spend ten G's, at least ten G's. But think about that. You're going over a pothole and all of a sudden you're out of battery in 13,000 bucks, or 14,000 bucks, I think they said to replace it. So David is back with us. He works for a, uh, EV school bus company. He said, "David, you're back. Thank you." Right. Sorry about the garbage connection there. Yeah, um, I worked for a school bus company. I'm the golfer guy. Is it? I hear a background there. You hear me okay? Yeah, we're fine. Okay. All right. Um, I worked for a school bus company here in Massachusetts. 108,000 dollars for a battery for one of those buses. 108,000 dollars. And you know, that's, remember when they bought those? I think they bought two or four buses down on Cape Cod. And they said, "We got some money from the feds to buy these buses." And they, I think they, I think they, they cost a half a million at least right there. Right there. But it, so the, so the half a million is, but they said, "Oh, it's, it's from the inflation reduction act." It hasn't been reduced by inflation though, oddly enough. And the price of school buses, I probably used to be like, what, 50, 60, 70,000 bucks, David? Yeah. Like your school bus, my raw fit is around 350. 350,000 dollars. 50,000 dollars. Yeah. And then 108,000 dollars to rep, you almost need a, you're going to need a prop two and a half override in the town when the, when the, when the battery goes out, David. And from what I understand, the drivers aren't impressed with them because of the, you know, how quick the batteries were down during the day. They, they do their morning runs and they worry about the afternoon before they run out of power. Yeah. Well, that's the way it is with the municipal bus companies. They said in, in Philadelphia, I think they were, they were using them and then they found out they couldn't go up even like a slight inclines. So, you know, if you've got like a, you know, a totally flat area, but in the, you know, most parts of the country, you don't have totally flat areas. You run into like at least a hill every once in a while or a mound, right? I mean, how can they, how can they rely on these things? They can't. It's like Trump says in his, in his speeches, I, this is one of the lines, you know, people say he's too tough and all this. When he talks about the ev, evs, he says, look, if you want to buy one of these things, that's your choice. But the government shouldn't be forcing you to buy something. You don't want to buy and there's, there's a reason why you don't want to buy it. The globe had a story the other day. I couldn't, it's, it's classic globe stuff. Blacks aren't buying evs. What's the problem? Maybe they've done some research just like everybody else. You think so? And then they say, oh, Blacks tend to live in, live in public housing or apartment complexes rather than single family houses. So they don't have room in a garage to put a charging station. Who's putting a, who wants to put a charging station in the garage? If it catches fire, that's the end of the garage and quite likely the fire can jump to your house and destroy your house. But it was, again, it was classic globe to say, why aren't Blacks buying electric vehicles? Oh man. As if, once again, I mean, talk about the soft bigotry of low expectations. Are they, are they saying Blacks aren't as dumb as the, as the childless cat women in the suburbs who are, I think I need to cut childless cat women in the suburbs are catching on too. 46% of the people who bought them don't ever want to go near them again and I think that's a low number. We'll be back with Toby to talk about this new gun bill. I'm Howie Carr. (audience laughing)
