Biden Defies SCOTUS (again) & Hate Mail Monday | 4.8.24 - The Howie Carr Show Hour 2
Didn't Nancy Pelosi say, point-blank, that President Biden couldn't forgive student loan debt? Turns out, he doesn't care about rules, SCOTUS decisions, or the opinion of fellow Democrats. He's trying to do it again. Then, Grace joins the show to present the latest bout of Hate Mail.

It's time for the Howie Car Show. 99% of the continental U.S. will see at least a partial solar eclipse this afternoon. A solar eclipse is like a woman breastfeeding in a restaurant. It's free, it's beautiful, but under no circumstances should you look at it. Totality, as they call it, will last at least three minutes. That is enough time to listen to a good chunk of total eclipse of the heart. Or total eclipse of the fart. Live from the Matthew's brother's studios. But there is this narrative being pushed out there a little bit. That the years prior to President Biden's administration were better for the economy. Uh, you couldn't buy toilet paper sometimes. It's a COVID order. As soon as he takes the oath, he would say, "Now, I'm the king of the f*cking world." ♪♪♪ It's fairly unlikely. I know it because I know what mental illness looks like. Yes, that is accurate. Rump swabs, hacks, and moonbaats beware. It's... ♪♪♪ Howie Car... ♪♪♪ 844-500-4242-844-542-4242. We're not getting many text messages today. We're having some technical difficulties down here, but, uh, we're, uh, we're working on it. And, you know, everything's fine other than the text messages and a few other little problems. But we're okay. I just mentioned that, uh, you know, they pulled the troops out of Khan Yunus, the Israeli troops, and, uh, people were saying that, you know, that the, the, the, uh, the pro-Hamas U.S. government had forced Israel to stop in its, uh, in its war to defeat Hamas by destroying it once and for all. But Netanyahu today is responding to that, and, and he, uh, he today announced just a couple hours ago that, uh, the IDF must enter Rafa to complete, to achieve complete victory and return the hostages while all, also claiming that Israel has decided on a date for entry in a video published today. Today I received a detailed report on the talks in Cairo. We are constantly working to achieve our goals. First and foremost, the release of all our hostages and achieving a complete victory over Hamas. The victory requires entry into Rafa and the elimination of the terrorist battalions there. It will happen. It, it, there is a date, uh, his, his allies. You know, they have a, uh, this war, wartime government, and, uh, his allies, uh, in sort of the, uh, more religious parties and the more right-wing parties that even then his, uh, are warning that if they don't do, uh, the, the Rafa operation to finally rid the entire region, not just the Israelis, but, uh, all, he's slapping peoples in the mid-east of, uh, of Hamas. The government will fall, which it, which it probably would, I'm, I think, I don't see how it could survive. It'd be like, uh, you know, you think Winston Churchill, they could have, they invaded, you know, the day it took taking place and it's the fall of 19, you know what, we're not going to go into Germany. We're going to let Adolf Hitler stay there. How long do you think, uh, Churchill would have lasted? You think, you think Roosevelt would have been re-elected in 44, I don't know. Uh, 844, 500, 42, 42, 844, 500, 42, 42, White House pledges, tax payers will bail out 10 million dollar, 10 million students loan debts. How do they do this? The Supreme Court told them they couldn't do it. They've already, they've already excused 138 billion. They've saddled those of us who work for a living, the working classes with debts from the non-working classes, as if it's not bad enough that they've led in 10 million illegal aliens who are never going to have jobs, or most of them aren't. Michael, you're next with highway car. Go ahead, Michael. Hey, how we just found a lighter note from what you're already discussing here. I was in Enfield, Connecticut, by the malls there, saw two younger women with their poodles with their pink and yellow, prefer painted, they, they had sunglasses on their dogs and then they scarfed to keep the sunglasses in place because they're worried about the eclipse, I'm sure. So then I jump on 91, I'm heading north on 91 and the DOT illuminated sign says, uh, uh, keep your eyes on the road, not on the sky. So I feel so much better knowing that that's what I should be doing and I'm driving more. That's like they used to, you know, when they had those for electronic signs on the mass turnpike, they, when they first had them, they thought they were a big deal and they would put the Super Bowl scores on the signs. Like, like, you know, if you cared about the Super Bowl, you weren't watching it on TV or at least listening to it on your radio. How ridiculous is that, Michael? And, and by the way, if you're worried about your dogs, just keep the dogs inside, right? And if you're, and if you're worried about them looking out the window, put them in the basement or put them in a bathroom where there aren't any windows. How were the glasses for dogs? I didn't, I didn't know it was that silly, Michael, but you know, hey, it's, I'm not surprised, I guess. Thanks for the call. Henry, you're next with how we car go ahead, Henry. Yes, how we, we waited around here in Walpole, we got a few people over, but nothing happened. It was a complete done. And then so we turned on the TV and learned that it's mostly in Vermont, they couldn't see the eclipse. So all this hype is for waste of time. At least it wasn't cloudy though. It could have been worse, Henry. You know, I mean, what if it had been a cloudy day or a rainy day, then, then they really would have been, then there really would have been a anger, anger out there with the, the woman and their poodles in, in subfield or infield, Connecticut, eight, four, four, five hundred, forty two, forty two, Brandon, he went, he's going to Wisconsin. I don't know if we have the sound yet or not, probably not. We'll announce today that student debt held by 10 million Americans will be transferred to taxpayers who work for a living. White House officials told reporters Monday, the plan to convey student loan debt from hippies at deadbeats to taxpayers is widely seen as a political move to gain electoral traction among young voters, electoral traction among young voters who largely do not approve of Biden's leadership. You know, so they're going to get, they're going to get some, they're going to get a quick payoff. They're going to get to save a few bucks, but they're still going to be able to afford a home. They're still not going to be able to afford to, to, to eat out like they used to. They're, they're still going to have to pay an arm and a leg for gasoline as opposed to when Trump was president, how, how is the, they're still going to be living in neighborhoods that are overrun with illegal alien criminals. Their taxes are still going to be going up to pay for the welfare for all these illegal alien criminals flopping in the United States. Is this really going to be the game changer? I, I rather think not. Taxpayers can expect to absorb about $5,000 for each of the 10 million students. I mean, you know, this is if it happens. Overall Biden intends to cut the amount that 23 million students owe on their loans, placing the burden on taxpayers who work for a living, who aren't deadbeats, who paid their own bills, who went into the military and had their educations paid for by the GI Bill, who didn't go to college period, who paid off their own kids' loans. In other words, responsible Americans are being forced to pick up the tab for irresponsible Americans. It will show to the burden of the entire loans for more than four million deadbeats. Today's announcement shows that we are continuing to fulfill our promises, the secretary of education. They're promised to provide for deadbeats. Eight, four, four, five hundred, forty, two, forty, two, eight, four, four, five hundred, forty, two, forty, two. Let's take a couple more calls here. Jeff, you're next with Howie Carr, go ahead, Jeff. Hey, Howie, I just wanted to say, you know, how stupid are we getting? When was the last time you saw a dog staring at the sun? You know what? That's a, that's a really good point, Jeff. I have never seen a dog staring at the sun. My dog, when, when the sun changes around outside, he moves around to stay in the shade. And I think that that's, that's 100% of animals, right? Yeah, the other thing you got to worry about is what about all the deer and all the other animals out there? Are they going to be blind tomorrow? Maybe, you know, remember they wanted to, instead of shooting deers, they wanted to give them birth control? Maybe they, maybe they should have, the wardens should have had, should have been out giving out the sunglasses to all the, all the deer and the raccoons and the fisher cats and the wolverines, every animal, rats, raccoons, et cetera, et cetera. Ever notice how when you ask moms what they want for Mother's Day, so many of them ask you, just give me one day of peace and quiet. That's not likely, though, is it, Mom? Good luck with that, maybe you can't help Mom run away from all of her responsibilities, but at least you can help her tune them out with a brand new pair of Raycon airbuds. Raycons, everyday airbuds are the perfect way to tune out all the noise around you and tune in to something great. Their audio quality rivals, all the big audio brands you know and love, at a price you'll love even more, which is mainly half the price of some of the better known brands, most of the better known brands. I use my Raycons pretty much every day. Today, I was listening not to, not the kind of blow I was listening to, Take 5 by, I think it's Stan Getz. Dave Brubeck? Dave Brubeck. That's it. I knew it was one or the other. Couldn't remember. I just remember, I just, I just put in Take 5 and there it was. It was beautiful listening, walking up to the breakers. With 8 hours of playtime in a 32 hour battery life, I know Raycons are up to the task. You know, you get all kinds of great customized features like sound, three customizable sound profiles, earbud tap functions, noise isolation, awareness mode, optimized gel tips, excuse me, for a custom, comfortable fit. It's just a great thing and it's great for your mom. It's great for Mother's Day, it's great for Father's Day, it's great for graduation. Anybody you know, including yourself who doesn't have a pair of Raycons every day earbuds could certainly use some and will appreciate it greatly, including yourself if you've got them. And again, they are half the price of the other premium audio brands and just as good and they have a longer playtime and a longer battery life in most cases. They make the best Mother's Day gift. And Raycons offers easy 30 day returns just in case. Go to byraycon.com/howie today to get 20% off your Raycon order plus free shipping. That's right.

Today's poll question, which you can vote in at Howie Car Show.com, is Will the Democrats slash media throw another fake October surprise at Trump this year, like 2020 and 2016? Yes. As was predicted by the Wall Street Journal over the weekend, I predict yes. Or too early to tell. 97% say yes, 3% say too early to tell. All right, time now for Hate Mail Monday. It's time for Howie Cars Hate Mail Monday, hit the heat. Oh, you. As you know, at this time every Monday afternoon, we like to check in with all of our fans. They love us so much at the Howie Car Radio Network. We like to see what they have to say about us. They send us emails, voicemails, even snail mail, texts, every kind of social media and otherwise posting. They tell us how much they love us, isn't that right, Grace? Absolutely, something like that. So what have we got today? All right, well, I want to start with someone who responded to, they thought they were responding to me on Twitter, but they didn't use my actual handle. But we were still able to find this. Your boss in total bleep, Howie Car, is cut out of the same slimy mold as you, Grace. He treats Trump as some kind of bleeping God rather than the piece of bleeping human berman that he is. Mainly, I treat him as being better than the people he preceded and is succeeded by. Some people are also commenting, Howie, that Trump's music taste is as bad as yours. Trump's what? His taste in music. A piece came out last week in Axios about the music plays at Marlago. I have much better taste in music than he does. I was going to ask you what you think of it. Do you think it was? I mean, the mailer manager told me she really likes his music choices. But I said last week that if I tried to get away with that on a car ride with you and play Phantom of the Opera, you would cut me off pretty quickly. No, that would not be tolerated. All right, we also have a hate mail for Taylor. This is cut one. Oh, great. A bridge collapses and Tucker Taylor gets hotty because he's added a word to his feeble fall river vocabulary. I'm not that much of a jerk or I'm going to say a lighted instead of collided. Oh, really? That's what happens when you collide with something that's not moving. Collided and alighted are different things. Collided means two objects have to be moving. Alighted is one object is moving. The other is stationary. Alighted. Okay. Alighted. The ship, allying with the-- Alighted. We mentioned yesterday when the Francis Scott Keys Bridge collapsed. Alighted. This is the worst. That was very manufactured. How were you relieved when Karine Jean-Pierre called it the Francis Scott King Bridge and it kind of let you off the hook? It made me grimace. It was so bad. She went to Columbia, you know. Howie, another person wrote in to one of your columns last week about Marahili. "Thank God we have Kar running his mouth for the last 40 years. Otherwise, we would have a terrible president, a militant governor, and a Caucasian hating mayor." Dot, dot, dot. Oops. Nevermind. Hey, you can't win them all. Howie, your pronunciation always is under fire. Can I have cut three, please? Paperboy. Why do you pronounce NATO as NATO? Of all of the things you mangle and mispronounce, that's gonna be the weirdest. NATO. Do you do that? I haven't noticed that. Rhymes with Beto. Oh, you-- oh, you do it like you do Cashew or O.J. Yeah. Well, nothing. What? Let's hear it. Let's hear it. Talk about these nattering knavobs of negativism. Can we hear it? Howie. Howie. Howie. What's that? Can you say it, please? For the record? NATO. Okay. That wasn't terrible. I am also not immune to hate. Can I have cut four, please? I think this lady might become the new granny Fingers crossed she'll keep it up. Cut four. Kamala Harris. She's a dummy. But you two, you and your friend there, the woman don't fall far behind. Whatever the hell her name is, it's really an idiot. Grace Curly is really an idiot. You know who that sounds like? Livia from the Sopranos. Yeah. Yes. Tony Sopranos, Mom. Also, how-- You know, that was a unique-- that could be unique in defending Kamala Harris. Yeah. How often is Kamala Harris defended anywhere? Yeah, well, that was in response to what you were saying about her bracket issue on Friday. Yes. And I will say this. Being an idiot occasionally is like to avoid being seen as a complete idiot. You have to know your strengths. And I don't try to talk about sports for the most part. I know that I'm going to butcher it. I wouldn't go out there as the vice president and talk about how brackets were invented for women two years ago. I'm not that dumb. I don't know if that's really bragging at this point, but hey, that's one thing. Also-- How about when she said before? She made it even worse when she said, "Here's a little history lesson for you." Yeah. That was quite the introduction. I like how that lady called me the woman, the woman who's with you. That's my name. Howie, one other person here-- and you're not going to have that much time to respond-- but Elaine wrote, "When you were talking about someone who was overweight, listen to Mr. Lipo dissing fat folk." Not Lipo. Not Lipo. Slee. Slee. Get it right. And I'll wait for her. Thank you. Live from the Matthew's Brothers Studios eight four four five hundred forty two forty two. You know, Pete Boot edge edge was talking last week about how that-- That internal combustion cars were the landlines of the later 21st century and he compared EVs to cell phones and how some people were fighting the transition to EVs, just like they were fighting the transition to cell phones. Number one, I don't remember too much pushback from landlines. Well, some people had inertia and didn't bother to get cell phones or they were older and didn't want to deal with the new technology, but there was no real pushback per se. I mean, the vast, vast majority of people were in on cell phones instantaneously. So I wrote a column about it over the weekend. You can read it at howwecarshow.com and all the other stupid stuff that people said in the Biden administration this week. So a friend of mine sent me this meme that he'd run into about EVs versus internal combustion vehicles. This is pretty funny. Imagine we lived in a world where all cars were EVs and then along comes this new invention, the internal combustion engine. Think how well they would sell a vehicle half the weight, half the price that only causes a quarter of the damage to roadways as an EV, a vehicle that can be refueled in one tenth of the time and has a range up to four times the distance of an EV and all weather conditions. It does not rely on the environmentally damaging use of non-renewable rare earth elements to power it and also uses far less steel and other materials. Just think how excited people would be for such technology. It would sell like hotcakes. I think it's absolutely true, isn't it? 844-542-42. Did you hear about the New Jersey Senate candidate granted she's a member of the Green Party? So she's not too serious and she's a hippie, probably owes thousands of dollars in student loans and is celebrating right now about this latest plan or attempt to convince us there's a plan to get rid of student loans for deadbeats. Her name is Christina Khalil on Friday after the earthquake, which was centered in New Jersey, apparently. This is what she tweeted out, "experienced my first earthquake ever. The climate crisis is real." There was an immediate community note saying it had nothing to do with climate change. Christina, New Jersey is on a fault line. She deleted much of it. I mean, again, she is Green Party, but, you know, a Democrat could have tweeted out something that I believe. 844-542-42, John, you're next with how we go ahead, John. Hey, Howie, I'm coming back from Bingham, Maine, just witnessed the total solar eclipse and I have to admit, it was awesome. It was awesome. It was awesome. I drive two hours to get there. What? We say that once in a lifetime, you know, you've got to like that kind of thing. We were talking with some other viewers up there, but, you know, some people get excited about this kind of thing. Some people don't. Yeah. You know, I like to Northern Lights in a lightning storm. Oh, I like Northern Lights. Northern Lights are great. I saw him when I was a little kid. I haven't seen him, I haven't seen really a good display since I was a little kid in Portland. But yeah, I love the Northern Lights. Hey, look, I went to a Super Bowl. I thought that was great, but, you know, one was enough. I went to the final four, final fours. I saw NC State win the championship against UCLA. That was great, but it was enough. I've been to a, yeah, you're right, John. It's just whatever, whatever, you know, whatever you enjoy, you ought to do it once or twice. It just doesn't mean much to me, you know. Did you see the total eclipse? No. No, I didn't. I'm in Florida. We didn't get that. I mean, we got a little bit of it, not much. Any total eclipse. Have you ever. No, I never have. No. It's a completely different thing that I know partially clips. Once you've blocked out, it gets dark, the stars come out. Everything goes quiet. The birds stop tweeting. Everybody who is watching with us just, everybody's just shutting up with their mouths open. Looking at this spectacle. It was awesome. Okay. Yeah. No, somebody, somebody texted me and said it's hard to be an atheist. It seems like it would be hard to be an atheist after you see something, this awe inspiring. Thanks for the call, John. 844-542-42. Roscoe, you can come out now, Ollie, Ollie, Oxen free. I don't think he was, I don't think he was too concerned about to begin with. 844-542-42-617. How can Biden keep forgiving these loans if the Supreme Court says it is unconstitutional? Please explain to us. I can't explain it to you. The only way I can explain it to you is the, you know, the, the pope in World War II said something about, you know, the, the Russians ought to lay off or maybe it was after World War II. He said the, you know, the Russians are, you know, oppressing Christianity. They're oppressing humankind, et cetera, the Soviets. And Joseph Stalin said, how many divisions does the pope have? And I think, I think, you know, that's the Biden has the same sort of totalitarian bent or his handlers do. He has, he has, he has no mind himself. And they don't care. And they just don't think the Supreme Court can enforce any of this stuff or, or it could be. And, you know, some of the textors are saying they don't expect to do this. They, they just plan to just say, hey, we tried to do this for you filthy hippies. You could have spent this money on tattoos and weed, which you want to spend it on rather than repaying your legally constituted debts. But the, you know what, the bastards, the Republicans in Congress tried to stop us. The three justices that Trump appointed on the Supreme Court stopped us. So we tried to give you free lunch so you could have more money to spend on the important stuff like drugs. But we were stopped, you know, tens of millions of people's debt was literally about to get canceled. But then some of my Republican friends and elected officials in special interest suitors in the special block this, but that didn't, well, that didn't stop us. No, I mean, sincerely, we continue to find alternatives past reduced student debt payments. Special interests. So this is equivalent, the special interest. This is like you, you're an arrest or an eating and, and some illegal aliens or, or deadbeats on welfare or eating near you. And then they run out, they pull a chew and screw and run out. And the restaurant tells you you have to pick up the tab though you would be considered a special interest in Joe Biden's world for every pickup. I will never stop to deliver student debt relief and hardworking Americans in. Well, if they're hardworking, why don't they pay back their debts? The rent, the, how about the people who didn't accrue those debts like me? I didn't go to an expensive school. I went to a state school and again, we, you want to run over the list? People who didn't go to college, people who went into the military and had the GI Bill pay it off, people who went to, to more affordable public colleges. How about the people who paid for their own kids, educations, who scrimped and saved, who didn't go on vacation, who didn't buy designer weed, who didn't get tattoos? How about them? How about, are they hardworking Americans too, or is it only the deadbe, filthy hippies? God. The president faces this, the New York Times. The president faces steep obstacles in the legal system. Again, they signed contracts to repay the money. These, you know, such contracts are considered sacrosanct under the constitution. It may help rally support among voters who were intensely disappointed in the president failed in his first plan, which would have eliminated up to $20,000 in debt for millions of dollars. It would have transferred the debt from the people who, who willingly took on the debt to people who didn't willingly take on the debt. Are we supposed to be happy about getting stuck with bills that we didn't run up? I mean, again, think all the bills you could have paid off. How about you credit card bills? How about your car payments? How about your monthly mortgage? How about your real estate taxes? How about your excise taxes? If you're divorced, how about your child support? How about your alimony? How about your utility bills? Would you like to have some of those debts relieved? Does that be legitimate for government to just tell you you didn't have to pay your debts? When is the, when are the 90 to 95% of us going to get some kind of debt relief? How about we don't have to pay income tax for a year? How about that? How about how about you, you'd say no more social security taxes taken out? No more Medicare taxes taken out. How about that? Do we get a break? When do we get a break? When did the rest of us get a break? Biden's previous attempt to transfer student loans to working taxpayers failed at the Supreme Court. Since then Biden used his executive power to transfer 138 billion in student loan debt from 4 million borrowers to taxpayers. 4 million debt beats to the rest of us who work 844-542-42. What kind of debt would you like to have paid off? What kind of loans would you like to not have to pay anymore? Would you like to just wash your hands up and walk away? You know, I bought that car, that car, that Tesla, that Tesla sucked. I bought a vault, that vault sucked. I can't believe I bought that thing. Joe, can you just take care of that for if you don't have to pay any more money on it? Can you give me a trade-in so I can get a real car? You know, that's the thing, no one made them go to community college and made you're in queer studies, just like no one made you buy a vault. No one made you take that vacation to a place that turned out to be crappy. No one made you buy a crappy timeshare. People say to me, "It's great you're helping people into college. How about all those hard-working people who grew up and had no opportunity to go to college?" I get it, that's the neighborhood I come from. That's why a big part of my economic agenda is investing in all Americans, whether you attend college or not. Where's my payoff? Where's the payoff for all of us who didn't take out big loans? He gets it, but there's no money for us. Joe, you're next with Highway Car. Go ahead, Joe. Hi, Ollie. Thank you for taking my call. I was just saying, thinking, if he's a student debt like he's forgiven and his print code blocked him, is he actually getting money from somewhere else that he's paying this dollar? Has student debt loans for kids have already started being paid off? That's my call. Yeah, no, he's paid according to these stories. He has used his executive power to transfer 138 billion in student loan debt from 4 million borrowers to taxpayers. He hasn't really given them any money. He's just added that to the debt, to the national debt. So he took the money, transferred the money that's in school loan debt to the actual debt that we have. Yes. Oh, my God. I mean, could there be anything more responsible than that? Oh, well, just like him selling the oil with China, he gave him all our reserve and everything else. And then you think about it, right? He doesn't want to buy oil that he's all our reserve now and we've got nothing. Yeah, because it's too expensive and Trump wanted to fill it up in 2020 when the prices were way low. And Schumer said it's a payoff to big oil and it wasn't a payoff to big oil. And now they can't refill it because then it wouldn't really be a payoff to big oil. But we really need it. We need some kind of reserve. Thanks for the call, Joe. It's really, I mean, it's right up there with his most irresponsible acts and there've been a lot of them. Maybe this isn't as bad as opening the border or shutting down the energy supply. But this is this is this in the top five auctions are one of the oldest forms of commerce known to man auctions are how economies determine values for assets and commodities auctions are not a fire sale at a discounted price. Rather, auctions are an accelerated sale with competitive pricing.

That's from 781 917. How about Trump vows to reimburse every American for the cost of all their legally purchased firearms after all the Second Amendment guarantees my right to own as many as I want. I'd love to see liberal heads explode 603 IRS garnished my paycheck 10 years ago because I tapped into my 401k early slightly and wasn't aware I needed to claim it. They hammered me for years.
