local talk jack howie car he'll just be another lost voice oh we'd look at this as an end of an era

in boston he has no place to go and talk is just too dumb i mean it's too tedious and repetitive

and this is just you know one more indication of how outrageous he can be here they are ripping me

now and i'm still here.

Live from the Burnett Less Lethal Pistol Pistol Studio, and I'm still here.

It's Howie Carr.

Not only is Howie's still here, he is so here that he's even here when he's not here. Howie's off, but the show must go on. It is the Howie Car show. We are here, but he's on vacation. I'll be back next week. I'm Aaron Chad. We're in for the one, the only Howie Car. Thanks for being with us on this Monday. The final Monday of the year. It is one of those days where the left wants you to just not believe your lying eyes. And they don't want you to believe it when it comes to the economy. They don't want you to believe it when it comes to immigration. They don't want you to believe it when it comes to fraud going on. They don't want you believe it when it comes to Doge. It's the funniest thing. Anything that's good for Trump, they don't want you to believe. If it's bad for Trump, they do. If it's bad for Democrats, it didn't happen. Or you just blame the messenger and find something racist that they once liked someone who liked someone who liked to post. That's what we're after. Speaking of the things they don't want you pay attention to uh most of the sunday shows were off this weekend because it's holidays then you know

how he's off people take time off during the holidays but margaret breton margaret brennan she couldn't

take the day off so margaret brendnan sits down and talks to Brian Moynihan.

He's the CEO of Bank of America.

This is what she's doing.

So she sits down and he talks to him and he has some things to say about how the economy

is growing, how spending is going, how consumer sentiment is going.

She just doesn't like it. And I was saying this last week is that when I was out at the mall, not at the mall, but like around the mall and the stores, when I was out shopping for Christmas, getting Christmas gifts, the last minute stuff, just everywhere was crowded and packed. And it seemed like there was so much shopping going on everywhere. Local stores, big stores, small stores, there was just shopping everywhere. And I said, you know, they're saying that people are worried about affordability. And I think they are. I think things are gotten expensive because prices went up and they didn't go back down. inflation went away, but I mean, things are still more expensive. But people are out shopping. I don't know if it's because they have more money or they're, you know, trying to stay ahead of the price increases, but people are shopping. And the CEO, I'm not even CEO of Bank of America. I don't have the data at my fingertips. I just have my own anecdotal experience, they call it. But this is what the CEO of Bank of America had to say, cut to. we are not only see it in the aggregate we also see it in pieces and so if you look in the aggregate the amount spent you know through the thanksgiving weekend on you know

friday black friday of cyber monday through all the month in november and the first part

of December it's it's up four four and a quarter four and a half percent versus last year's

november and so it's growing and a half percent versus last year's November.

And so it's growing.

And if you look by terseilles free buckets of income levels, it's clear the people in the bottom income level and lower income levels are spending a little faster growth rate, but still growing. And then the middle and up or faster.

So what they're telling you is what they feel.

What they're actually seeing is spending is a reason to be solid heading into the end of the year.

So what we worry about when it comes to recession, when it comes to other stuff, is when spending tips.
