Nothing gets you going in the morning, like a good cup of Joe and a little Howie Car, right?

We love Howie Car, right?

I was referred to today as 1970s Boston. A paper boy it comes from the tabloid talk show stuff in

boston and it was concocted there it's howie car

welcome back to the howie car show i I am Aaron Chadborn sitting in for the one, the only the captain, Howie Car. He is off this week. He's on the cape. He's working on his book. He's writing his columns, but he is not here. He will be back on Monday. Until then, I'm thrilled to be sitting behind the microphone, filling the

big shoes that he leaves to fill. Uh, joined as always by Jared Diggilyo, our producer.

Jared, I have a question for you. Yes. Who do you think should be the next presidential candidate,

taking over the mantle? Should Donald Trump not run again,

of course, in 28.

Who do you think is the heir apparent?

I really like J.D. Vance.

I don't know if he's, I mean, we'll have to see where he is in four years being the vice president automatically, you know, ups your ante, but I don't, I don't know if he's going to be ready for the big, big chair in four years. I mean, he's heads and tails more ready than Kamala ever was. Well, so hot. I don't know if you heard. Peter Ducey asked Trump at the White House what he thought about J.D. Vance. And Trump was pretty bullish on him. Cup four.

This weekend, Secretary of State Rubio said that he thought J.D. Vance would be a great nominee.

You could clear the entire Republican field right now. Do you agree that the air apparent to MAGA is J.D. Vance. Well, I think most likely, in all fairness,

he's the vice president. I think Marco is also somebody that maybe would get together with J.D.

in some form. I also think we have incredible people, some of the people on the stage right here.

So it's too early, obviously, to talk about it. But certainly he's doing a great job and he would be probably favored at this point. So I think he, like Trump leaves a little like wiggle room there, right? He didn't say yes, absolutely him, only him. But he said, yeah, I think he's doing a pretty good job. And he'd probably be favored. Now, Trump also didn't rule out running again. He says he probably won't.

He talked to CNBC and said he won't.

And Peter Ducey, of course, was echoing the comments by Marco Rubio, who I think that, I think Rubio has been pretty, I think he's performed better than people were expecting him to.

And he's been more MAGA than people expected him to be. And I think he's performed better than people were expecting him to, and he's been more MAGA than people expected him to be.

And I think his, um, I think his, his stock was rising.

So people thought maybe there's going to be a standoff between Rubio and J.D. Vance for the mantle.
