• 0:21

• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Everything's at HowieCarrShow.com. HowieCarrShow.com. Howie Carr, how are you doing?
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Very good. Very good. I'm enjoying this Alaska situation. It's
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: pretty funny. We have a long track record of this
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: stuff in Massachusetts, as you probably know. We had a
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: president named John F. Kennedy. Yeah. You've heard of the guy, right? Yeah.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: When he was senator, this guy, he worked in the
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: stock room at the Gillette Razor Factory in South Boston.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: He said, you know, I could win statewide office because
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: my name is John F. Kennedy. And he did. Three times.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: Never spent a dime. Just got elected time after time
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: because his name was John F. Kennedy. He was finally
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: term limited out in 1960 and he said, hey, I
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: got elected treasurer statewide. I'll get elected governor. But That
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: was the same year JFK, the other JFK, was running
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: for president. And he lost. So I think the lesson here, Mark,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: is you can pull this kind of stuff off with
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: these candidates at lower-level offices, even if it's a statewide office,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: but you can't go beyond a certain level. And I
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: think that was Mary Pelpo's offense. You know, that was
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: her problem. She went a little too high. It wasn't
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: going to work ever. Yeah.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Well, she found another guy named Dan Sullivan. Now, if
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Republicans wanted to try this, how did they find a
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: guy named Muhammad Abdul El-Sayed? That's not that easy to
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: find another one with that name.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, you can change your name. People have
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: been known to do that, too. You know, that's another
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: thing in Boston. There were a lot of Irish guys
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: named Foley. And this guy, I think his name was
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: William Entraversoda. He was an Italian guy. This was in
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: the 50s. So he said, all these Foley guys are
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: getting elected. So he changed his name to William Entraversoda Foley.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Didn't work. Again, didn't work. Just made him a laughingstock. But,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: you know, they gave it a shot. But I don't
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: think it's a crime. But, you know. You know, the
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: thing is, did you see that the Democrat candidate, they've
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: got a tape of her a few months back saying,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: politicians who lie should be put in jail. I don't
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: think that's aged very well for her, considering how many
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: lies she's told about this guy.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Although Alan Dershowitz looked at all this. He said it's
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: definitely fraud. You could prosecute somebody for this. It's out-and-out
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: fraud on the voters.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but where's the statute that says you can't commit
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: fraud on the voters? I hate to go against Alan Dershowitz,
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: Professor Dershowitz, but I don't know. I think it's pretty
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: hard to prosecute that one.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Hey, speaking of Kennedy, you wrote the best books on JFK.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: You've written the best books on the Kennedy family. There
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: was talk about the bringing back the White House swimming pool.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Trump said absolutely not because he doesn't swim. The last
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: president who really used that pool was JFK. Tell everybody
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: what JFK used that pool for.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: He had these two young women. They called them Fiddle
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: and Faddle. They were secretaries. And so Joe Kennedy, his father,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: gave him a present as he was inaugurated. They built
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: the pool at the White House. and he would go
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: down there with fiddle and saddle and they would, they
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: would swim food during the, uh, during the lunch break. And, uh,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: and that's what they, and he brought down, he had a,
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: he had one of his aides, this old time guy
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: from Charlestown, uh, Boston. And, uh, he, he, he had,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: he instructed fiddle to get her a paddle to give,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: give him a, uh, a, a, a Lewinsky shall we
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: say at the pool. I have a picture in Kennedy
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Babylon of, uh, of Caroline Kennedy, uh, posing with this guy.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: I think his name was Dave powers. I forget.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah. Dave powers.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they were, they were, I say they were remembering
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: the good old days of fiddle and paddle down by
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: down at the pool. And, uh, yeah, they, they actually, uh,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, I got lots of pictures of fiddle and
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: paddle and Kennedy and Kennedy Babylon. I think it's volume one.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: I put him at, I got two volumes, but it's
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: in volume. I think it's in volume one. Yeah, they
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: actually did a story in the Hearst Sunday publication at
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: the time about Fiddle and Faddle and some of the
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: White House beauties are working on the staff for JFK. Yeah,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: they're working all right. They're working. Yes, indeed they are.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: And then you know what happened to the pool, right?
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: When Nixon got in, he knew what was going on
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: in that pool. Andrew Hoover told him. He made it
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: into a bowling alley.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: So Donald Trump has an assistant named Natalie Harp who
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: works her tail off, you know. Right.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: She's always sending stuff. I'm sure you're getting the text
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: just like I am. She's always sending out texts. Check
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: out President Trump's Truth Social. That's what she does. That's
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: her job.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but why is she? Why is Natalie Harp always around?
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: So how come there was no fiddle-faddle coverage by the media?
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: How come they didn't do that story?
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: There was fiddle. I told you. They got a nice
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: puff piece there. Oh, apparently one of them was on
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: the plane to Dallas and had to go back on
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: the plane with the body and Jackie Kennedy. I mean,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: these are the stories you never heard until decades and
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: decades later. Yeah.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: But between this fiddle and faddle and Judith Exner and
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Marilyn Monroe, if you ask those old time reporters, they'd say, well,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: it was a different era. Is it just simply because
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: he was a Democrat? Had that been Nixon, they would
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: have exposed that in a second, wouldn't they?
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I think it was. JFK was married before
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Jacqueline Kennedy. He got married in Palm Beach. And JFK,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Joe Kennedy, his father, went in and had all the
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: documents lifted out of town hall in Palm Beach. And
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: then JFK, the woman lived in Palm Beach, his first
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: marriage to a divorced Protestant woman. And she lived in
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Palm Beach. And one day at the Everglades Club, he
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: and Ben Bradley, the then soon-to-be Nixon exposure in Watergate,
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: they were playing golf at the Everglades Club in Palm Beach,
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: right in the middle of town. And JFK, President Kennedy,
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: introduced Ben Bradley to his first wife. Didn't say it
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: was his first wife, obviously, but he introduced her. I mean,
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: Ben Bradley put that in his... in his memoirs. Wow.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Well, if you want more of this, that's how old
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: they were. Uh, if you want more of this, get
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Howie Carr's books, Kennedy Babylon, volume one, volume two, amazing
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: stuff in there.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Uh, yeah, I don't know. I don't know if it's
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: back on Amazon yet, but it soon will be. They're just,
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: they're toying with me, uh, Mark, but it'll, it'll Kennedy
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Babylon volumes one and two. You can actually, you can
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: buy it at Howie Carr show.com. I've still got it
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: in stock. Howie Carr show.com.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: It's got a million of these stories. Go get the book. HowieCarrShow.com.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: What's going to happen in Maine? Susan Collins, she'll win
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: that race, won't she?
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: I think so. Six years ago, she was running against
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: a Democrat out of Central Casting, but she could speak
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: in complete sentences and wasn't a complete boob, and she
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: wasn't married to her cousin. She was ahead in the
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: polls by like seven points at the end, and Collins
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: ended up winning by nine. I got to think, you know,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: this is going to be the same kind of situation.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Did you see Plattner yesterday? The New York Post caught him,
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: you know, and took pictures of him. And he's going,
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: you people from away don't understand what it's like for
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: us people down east. Again, this guy went to Hotchkiss.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: That makes St. Paul's, where John Kerry went, look like
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: a technical high school in the Bronx. Yeah.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Hey, Obama, speaking of elitists, Obama doesn't seem to realize
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: what Cheesecake Factory means to most Americans. I know.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: I know. But obviously someone told him that he really
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: stepped on it, stepped in it. Because I guess last
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: night in Georgia, he was just going on and on.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: That's all Scott Bess and Scott to do is to do.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: He's not worried about affordability and the price of gas.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: He's doing a press conference outside the Cheesecake Factory. You know, Mark,
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: me thinks Obama doth protest too much, right?
• 9:19
