  Speaker 2: Howie Carr, how are you doing?
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: Very good, Mark.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: We just had our final debate in Massachusetts for Governor
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Mara Healy versus Mike Minogue. And, you know, she bragged
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: four years ago about how she stopped two natural gas pipelines.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: And last night she.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Did everything but put on a 10-gallon cowboy hat and
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: speak in a, you know, like T.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: Boone Pickens.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: She said about eight times how much she loved natural
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: gas and wants to bring it into the state.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: I don't know when she was lying, last night or
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: in 2022, when she was bragging about stopping the natural
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: gas pipelines. But, you know, there's been a lot of
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: that going around nationwide, hasn't there? People, Democrats kind of
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: backing away from their previous positions.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, like somebody was just saying, they're running
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: on affordability, these Democrats. You know, when they get in,
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: they're going to drive the price of gas up and
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: nothing's going to be affordable. So they'll just say anything
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: to get elected.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: I thought they were happy that they were saying it's
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: not a big deal. When, when Biden had the price
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: of a gallon of gasoline up higher than it is now,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: four years ago, over $ 5 a gallon, that was a,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: it was a good thing because it was going to
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: get all the MAGA people in the deplorables out of
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: their nasty fossil fuel, internal combustion motor vehicles.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: Right. I mean, it was a good thing. Now it's,
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: now it's the end of the world.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah. But the, the, They'll say whatever they got to say.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: But when they get in office, they'll close down refineries,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: shut down pipelines, stop drilling. They'll do everything to drive
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: the price of gas up. But, hey, this great candidate
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: we have for governor, Bruce Blakeman, he had a great
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: debate against Hochul. If he wins New York, what does
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: that mean for the Democrats to lose the state house
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: of New York state?
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Well, for one thing, I mean, it would mean that
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: they couldn't get any more of these nutty bills through.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, he could veto them, right? I mean, theoretically,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, they could override the veto. But, I mean,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: things didn't really get out of control in New York
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: State until they lost control of the Senate. You know,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: they needed Americans, taxpayers needed to have, you know, one control,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: a lever. And, you know, whether it was the assembly
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: or the Senate or the governorship, and then when they
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: lost all of them, that's when, that's when everything went insane.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: You know, they got to get one of them back.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: You know, don't you think if, if it.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Were like a 2004, 2008, you know, whatever, you know,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: whatever Pataki was elected, if you had that same electorate today,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Blakeman would be running away with it.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: Wouldn't he?
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: So, but what happened to the electorate? Same thing in Massachusetts.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: See, I, as everywhere in the Northeast, it's, it's just,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: it's totally gone. You know, I, I, I had Susan
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Collins on from Maine, you know, cause I'm up in,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: I'm up at Maine, all those stations. And I had
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: her on, I think, uh, you know, three, four weeks
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: ago in, in Maine. And, and she said until McCormick
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: was elected in, uh, in Pennsylvania in 2024, uh, It
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: wasn't just New England. There was no Republican senators other
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: than her in the whole Northeast. You had to go
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: down to, like, North Carolina or West Virginia to find somebody.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Explain this to me again. What happened to New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine?
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: They all became left-wing. Where did all these Democrats come
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: from up there?
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: Well, I think they.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: I think they came from New York is mostly what happened.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: Come on, let's be honest.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, they may knock off the Rhino governor of
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Vermont this year. They got some blow-in from parts unknown.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: This woman.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: And she's going to knock off Phil Scott. I mean,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: it's not a terrible tragedy for the Republican Party. He
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: was a COVID autocrat or totalitarian. But, you know, still,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure, you know, as bad as he is,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: he's better than whatever she will be.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I mean, I think people have just
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: fled the states. You know, it is about affordability.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: That was a big thing in the governor's race, governor's
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: debate last night in Massachusetts. In the first debate, Mara
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Healy had, you know, had a, you know, she'd committed
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: a gaffe, you know, random, inadvertently telling the truth. She said,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Massachusetts is a great state to live in if you
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: could afford it.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: So, hey, Howie Carr, your protege, Caroline Leavitt became the
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: press secretary. She's very young. I mean, just a kid
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: and was fine. What a great job she did. Now
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: you've got a 41-year-old woman, Katie Zakaria, who looks so shaky.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: What do you think her future is?
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I remember Stephanie Grisham, that woman
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: that never had a press conference. I met her one
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: time over here in West Palm Beach, and she was terrible.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: You know, this woman is going to be better than
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Stephanie Grisham for sure. But, you know, I noticed, though, again,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: the double standard here is amazing that, you know, she's
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: getting all this crap. She went to law school, but
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: she never could pass the bar exam. And, you know,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: and I'm not defending her for saying that she was, she,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: you know, claiming to be a lawyer, but, but how
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: is this any different than the Egyptian in El Said in, in,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: in Michigan, you know, saying over and over again that
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: he was a physician.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: He's, he's not a physician.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: He went to medical school, but he never passed the, the,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: the medical exam. And he's, and he, You know, as
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Roger said, if he tried to prescribe you medication, he'd
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: be arrested. But, you know, they just look the other way. Oh, well,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: he did go to medical school. You know what, Zachary,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: she did go to law school. You know, and plenty
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: of these Democrats, didn't Hillary Clinton flunk the bar exam once? Yeah.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: I know our former governor, Deval Patrick, our former lieutenant governor,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Tim Burke, a lot. I think Democrats have a much
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: higher rate of failure of the bar exam than Republicans.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Zachariah is just trying to catch up the Republicans.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: That's all.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Hey, but she was a little shaky, but it was
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: too quick. She was only there like one day and
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: did a briefing. You should have given her a week
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: or two to prepare.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, she, she also, you know, despite being
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: older than, than Caroline, I mean, you know, Caroline did
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: go through a baptism of fire. I mean, they, they spent,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: $ 20 million when she was running for Congress. First, uh,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: first the Republicans, you know, uh, with a speaker McCarthy
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: and his guys tried to knock her out of the primary.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: And then Chris Pappas spent another 10 million knocking her around. And, uh,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: you know, she, she, you know, you, you, uh, you know,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: she had a lot of scars. She, she was a
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: veteran of political combat despite her tender age.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: Well, that's, that's a good point. She got through a campaign,
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: a debate. Oh yeah. That's a good point. That's good training.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: So you're down in Palm Beach. The president is coming
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: there tonight. It'll be his first weekend in Palm Beach
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: for the season. What do you think?
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's great. I didn't even know that.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: That means the planes will be flying directly over my
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: pool starting.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: Tomorrow morning. They direct them.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: I mean, Mar-a-Lago is still not open until Halloween, so
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: he's going to.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: To be there by himself.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure the kitchen will be open for
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: him and all that, but the big dining room is
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: not open until.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: The end of the month.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Oh, but tomorrow night, apparently, or actually, I think it's tonight,
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: or tomorrow night, they're having this big dinner, big RNC
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: dinner there, so it'll be open for that. But Mar-a-Lago,
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: it's the best when it's not open, because then you
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: don't have all those old ladies chasing them around the room.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: You know, that, how are you, that crowd chasing them around.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it's pretty nice down here. It's easier to
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: get a reservation. You don't have to worry about being
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: run over as you're crossing the street by some 90-year-old
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: who came down on a private jet and then an
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: ambulance from the airport over the Donald J.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: Trump airport to the island.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: So, yeah, apparently there are a lot of left-wingers who actually,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: they have to go to Palm Beach, but they'll fly
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: to another airport. They'll go to Fort Lauderdale in Miami.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: They will not land at anything called Donald J. Trump Airport.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: I've heard those rumors, Mark.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: I hope it's true because, you know, I always like
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: less congestion at the airport, you know, especially those kind
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: of people that are going to be angry about that.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: Those are not the kind of people you want to
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: deal with under any circumstances.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Well, Howie Carr, always great. He's got a new book out,
• 9:18

• 9:21
  Speaker 2: a lot of great stuff in there.

  Speaker 3: Right.

  Speaker 1: It's about corruption in Massachusetts, and there's a lot of it,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: and it continues to go on.
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: It was, again, the subject of the debate.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: One of the governor's top aides was arrested shipping 18
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: pounds of cocaine to her office in Springfield. I've got
• 9:40
