So the producer of the new film about Ted Kennedy’s Chappaquiddick scandal says some “very powerful people” tried to kill his movie. What a surprise — NOT! “Unfortunately,” Byron Allen told Variety last week, “very powerful people tried to put pressure on me not to release this movie. They went out of their way to try and influence me in a negative way.” Byron Allen is a TV comedian from the ’80s who has become a successful Hollywood mogul. He just bought what’s left of The Weather Channel for $300 million. By the way, he’s also black, so you would...

Good Afternoon And WELCOME!

Massachusetts voters may never know the true genetic heritage of Sen. Elizabeth Warren,D-Mass., but they can be very clear on what the law says about performing DNA testing without written consent. That's bad news for aspiring conservative super-sleuths, and Howie Carr in particular, who doubt that Warren really is of Native American ancestry. [Snip-em] While exceptions are made for clinical research, Massachusetts doesn't make allowances for genetic truther trolls eager to catch Warren in an obvious lie. And why should it? The senator has already embarrassed herself. Sans evidence of her ancestry, she submitted recipes to the Pow-Wow-Chow cookbook, claimed...

This excerpted foreword by Howie Carr has been republished with permission from Chappaquiddick: Power, Privilege, and the Ted Kennedy Cover-up by the late Leo Damore (Regnery Publishing, 2018).If anyone ever truly deserved a Profiles in Courage Award, it was the late Leo Damore, the author of this book.Of course, the awards are handed out by the Kennedy family, and they are all about, not courage, but Political Correctness. But no one can dispute the fact that Damore put himself and his career on the line to write this book, and that one way or another, he paid the ultimate price—as a...

BOSTON (CBS) – Former gubernatorial candidate Christy Mihos has died. According to the Cape Cod Times, Mihos had cancer and passed away in hospice care in Florida on Saturday. He made a fortune with a chain of convenience stores and also ran unsuccessfully for governor twice. Mihos served on the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority when the Big Dig was under construction and correctly predicted it would go billions over budget. He also had a very public and messy divorce with his wife in 2012. Christy Mihos was 67 years old.

MassachusettsÂ’ EBT card holders are spending welfare cash in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, while patronizing or at least accessing ATMs in liquor and tobacco stores, beauty salons and tattoo parlors. In response to my public records request, the stateÂ’s Department of Transitional Assistance (DTA) turned over 18 months of EBT records from Jan. 1, 2015, to July 1, 2016. In all, the taxpayers shelled out $321 million in Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) to welfare recipients. In the 18-month period, more than $7.3 million in Bay State welfare funds were spent outside the state,...

The big catchall Howie Carr Show thread revolving around Election Day, Nov 8, 2016. Presidential race, Senate and other contests, ballot questions and so on. Heard on over 2 dozen stations in New England but anywhere via apps like TuneIn or iHeartRadio; one hour TV simulcast on Breitbart TV; howiecarrshow.com and more

Nice try, Democrats, but this thing ain't really over yet, is it? I mean, if they really believed all the smoke their WikiLeaks acolytes have been blowing over the last week or so about Hillary's impending landslide, then why did all of John Podesta's pen pals have a collective meltdown on social media within seconds yesterday after the FBI announced that it was going to review the videotape after all. And these rumpswabs and lickspittles have the audacity to call Donald Trump unhinged? Grief counselors were swarming The New York Times, CNN, The Washington Post and all the rest of...

Howie thread for the rest of the year starting off with some pix of Howie's new studios

Howie Carr Radio Show LIVE Monday through Friday from 3pm-7pm EDT.

On Thursday’s show, Howie probed the mainstream media’s double standard when it comes to self-identification. If a 40 year old man with a beard self-identifies as a female lizard person, the media unanimously agrees: he’s a female lizard person. But when a gay Democrat terrorist says multiple times that he self-identifies as an ISIS terrorist, the media deny his lived experience.

Renowned terrorism expert Dr. Sebastian Gorka talks with Howie about the Orlando terrorist attack and the Obama administrations response. (14 minutes)

Howie Carr is the New York Times best-selling author of The Brothers Bulger and Hitman, in addition to several other Boston organized-crime books and two novels. He is the host of a New England-wide radio talk-show syndicated to more than 20 stations, and is a member of the Radio Hall of Fame in Chicago. He is also a columnist for the Boston Herald, and has won a National Magazine Award for Boston Magazine. He is also a contributor to Breitbart.com.

So much for the “evolving” Donald Trump – the real thing was back on display last evening at Trump Tower. “I wanna thank the media,” he said. “The media has covered me very fairly – the last two hours!” After last night, you can now refer to Lyin’ Ted Cruz as Dyin’ Ted. If AMC made a series about him, it would be called “The Walking Ted.” The Texas senator’s motto is TrusTed, but last night Cruz was dominaTed in Pennsylvania, humiliaTed in Rhode Island, toasTed in Connecticut, decimaTed in Delaware and just plain defeaTed in Maryland. Overall, the pride...

Rafael Ted Cruz, Jr. had a big problem last night with New York values. His problem was, New York values a chance to actually vote for the candidates. So the Empire State didn’t cancel its primary, or pick the delegates in smoke-filled back rooms, the way Ted Cruz prefers to have the fights fixed for him by his Republican-in-name-only (RINO) handlers. Another problem for Cruz: he’s the favorite son… of Calgary, Alberta. Donald Trump is the favorite son of Queens, New York. They weren’t counting Donald Trump’s votes last night in New York, they were weighing them. And for the...

Elizabeth Warren as a comic-book hero? Meet Wonder Squaw! It’s hard to imagine, but somebody is coming out with a 24-page comic book about her rise from “modest means to the Massachusetts Senate.” Funny, I thought she was in the U.S. Senate, and as for her “modest means” – yeah, right, and did she ever tell you about those high cheekbones of hers? But let’s play along. “Look, over by Wall Street – I mean Wall Trail. It’s a Native American! It’s an Okie! It’s… Wonder Squaw! Yes, it’s Elizabeth Warren, strange visitor from another planet (Oklahoma) who came to...

There are only two factions left now in the Republican party. Trump and anti-Trump. Gov. John Kasich is still breathing, but let’s face it, his only role is to keep Trump from getting to the magic 1,237 number of delegates on the first ballot in Cleveland in July. The GOP establishment — the GOPe — officially went out of business last night. Beware the Ides of March indeed. In Miami, yesterday was Goodbye Rubio Tuesday. Little Marco blamed most of the chaos in the Republican party on “the political establishment” — you know, the same fat cats who gave his...
