It's a happy day. My heart feels like an alligator.

Howie Car writes to the Boston Herald, hosts a daily radio show, one of the most famous men in New England.

It comes from the tabloid talk show stuff in Boston, and it was concocted there. Put your hand on the radio.

Live from the Burner Less Lethal Pistol Pistol Studio. Can somebody shout amen? It's Howie Carr.

Howie must not have got the memo that people are putting their hand on the Quran these days, Jared.

You might want to let him know what's happening in New York City so you can see the Mamdani of it all.

Oh, Alexandria Ocasio-Cartez.

Welcome back to the Howie Car Show.

I'm Aaron Chadbourne, sitting in for Howie on this first show, first live show,

because there was a best of episode yesterday. The first live show of 2026, happy new year,

one and all, except maybe Alexandria Ocasio Cortez. This is why AOC says that, how do you say his name, Jared?

Zoran was elected. Cut five.

We have chosen instead to turn towards making a new future for all of us.

In Zoran Mamdani, we have chosen a mayor who is relentlessly dedicated to making

life not just possible but aspirational for working people. New York City has chosen the ambitious

pursuit of universal child care, affordable rent and housing, and clean and dignified public transit

for all. And we have chosen that over the distractions of bigotry and the barbarism of extreme

income inequality.

We have chosen this path because we know that it's the right thing to do.

It's the smart thing to do.

And that if we can make it here, we can make it anywhere.

Ugh, I can't even.
