(00:00):
Many of you who have been withthe show for a while remember the work
of the great intrepid producer Dave Lauer. And Dave has been happily retired for
some time now. But we spokeyesterday and he said, you know,
I really like being retired, exceptwhen stuff like this happens. And I
was like, what the hell,Dave, come on the show. Let's
do it, ladies and gentlemen,the return of Dave, the intrepid producer.
(00:23):
Dave. How you doing today,buddy, I am doing wonderfully.
I spent four hours this morning watchingthe Kimberly Cheatle. Oh and I'm seventy
five, and when I'm on mydeathbed, I'm going to say I can
have four more hours if I didn'twatch that, and it was it was.
(00:47):
I'll start off talking about that Kimberlycheatle talk about stonewalling. The one
positive thing that came out of itis we haven't seen bipartisanship like we saw
this morning calling for the resignation orthe firing of Director Cheetle since FDR's Day
(01:08):
of Infamy speech following Pearl Harbor.Yeah, it was truly amazing. One
of the highlights for me was thetestimony of Nancy May, a Republican of
South Carolina, and one of thequestions she asked, Cheetle was unresponsive as
(01:32):
she wished almost everything, and NancyMay said bs. But you didn't say
bs right, And then she saida couple of seconds later, you are
full of f and she didn't says. Yes, And wait, let
(01:52):
me ask you about that for asecond, because Chuck and I we're just
talking about this, like, doesn'tthat kind of indicate how far our society
has all in civility that people areusing curse words in a congressional hearing.
Yeah, I mean the chairman admonishedher for, you know, her decorum
or lack of same. But Ithink in their secret hearts of heart,
(02:15):
all of the members were going,you go, girl, yes, you
know, because it kind of capsualizedthe feeling I had for all four hours
she was so unresponsive, almost everysingle questioner called for her resignation. Now,
if not her resignation, maybe weshould wake President Biden up from his
(02:38):
naps so he can fire her.That was the question that somebody asked me
earlier. Okay, great, Nowwe know that Kamala, the presumptive nominee
as of yesterday, as all Democratsexcept Obama came out forcefully and in support
of Kamala Harris as the nominee.But does she fire Cheatle or does Biden
(03:01):
come out and fired Cheetle. Imean, it's it's hard to believe that
Kimberly Cheatle is not going to resignbecause I watched about ten minutes this morning,
and I taped it so I couldgo back and watch it later because
I was getting ready for the show. Her she almost seemed like she was
drugged. She was so like.Her composure was amazing, that's the one
(03:23):
thing. Yeah, they hurled insultafter insult after accusation at her, and
she stayed perfectly calm. And youknow what, it reminded me of when
I was a kid, they hadthe Senate Racket Committee hearings and all the
gangsters and mob heads took the fifthamendments. Yeah, and that reminded me
(03:44):
of this. It couldn't have beenany more stark it was. It was
horrific. I can't see her survivingthe week now. And if Biden doesn't
fire her, of course, heappointed her two years ago, right,
so he reluctant to do that.But I think there's going to be a
congressional movement to pass the resolution callingfor her firing. And also I guess
(04:14):
a few of them are saying shelied under oath and they're going to go
after her under those conditions. Soher future is not very bright. Well,
if you're the Trump campaign, let'slook at this from a purely political
perspective and not an incompetence perspective.Right, So, just from a political
perspective, the Trump campaign, ifBiden doesn't fire her, they're going to
(04:36):
start lobbing accusations that this was aninside job, that the reason because what
happened last week was the Secret Servicedenied turning down requests for additional security at
Trump rallies. And then over theweekend a news statement was put out that
said, oh, upon further review, yes there were things that were denied
(04:57):
for the Trump campaign from leadership.So the Trump campaign is going to start
this, you know what, Thisis why Joe Biden didn't fire him,
Because she's doing Joe Biden's bidding andsetting up a situation where Trump could be
assassinated. I mean, that's thenarrative, you know as well as I
do that that's exactly what's going tohappen. So then she becomes an albatross
around the Biden Harris campaign. Rightnow it's the Harris campaign, but it's
(05:19):
going to be the Biden Harris campaignfrom the Republican side. So they have
no choice but to get rid ofher or they look complicit in an assassination
temp against Donald Trump. Well,there's it's no coincidence that the day after
the assassination attempts, all of asudden, RFK Junior has Secret Service.
(05:39):
Yeah protection. Yeah, whose fatherand uncle were assassinated. That's shameless and
it's just so obvious. But enoughabout chidel. Let's get on to the
president and the race. Yes,because Dave called me yesterday and Dave,
you said something yesterday. Almost withinhours it came true. Right, So
(06:02):
Dave says to me yesterday, let'stalk about this next debate. And what
did you say, Dave? Yeah, I said there's going to be a
debate between whoever is the nominee ofthe Democrats and Trump, probably going to
be Kamala. In the first debate, Biden Trump, Biden held all the
cards. Whoever's ahead usually doesn't wanta debate. Whoever thinks they're behind,
(06:29):
is desperate to debate. Well,Biden said, yeah, well debate with
all of my conditions. The MSNBCtwo moderators who have come out publicly hating
Trump. Well, the roles havebeen reversed all of a sudden, All
of a sudden, Trump is inthe catbird seat and he holds all the
cards. Kamala has already asked fora debate, and I think, and
(06:55):
my condition was Trump's should should sayyes, it's got to be on Fox
with Brett Bearer as the moderator andno cutting of microphones. Well, a
few hours later, I guess shedid actually approach him and he said it's
got to be on Fox News.Well, he also said that via truth
Social He said, exactly what you'resaying, but basically, let me read
(07:17):
it to you one more time.My debate with Crooked Joe Biden, the
worst president in the history of theUnited States, was slated to be broadcast
on Fake News ABC, the homeof George Slapadopolis, sometime in September.
Now that Joe has not surprisingly haswith the race, I think the debate
with whomever the radical left Democrats chooseshould be held on Fox News rather than
(07:40):
very biased ABC. Thank you DJT. So that was verbatim what he sent
out on True Social So you're asoothsayer now, David Intrepid, Well,
you know, it's been an amazingtwenty five days from the date of the
first debate, yes past, andI was compiling list of all the good
(08:01):
things that happened for Republicans. Well, first and most importantly the debate.
That was the first good thing.Then you had three Supreme Court decisions one
after another, one on presidential immunity, one on federal regulations and unelected officials
not being able to make those regulations, and then the homeless decisions, so
(08:24):
we can break up these homeless campsand it's totally constitutional. Then you had
two interviews which were supposed to provethat Joe is fine. We'll have him
on. And of course who dothey pick to have him interviewed? George
Stephanopolis, a Clinton administration guy afterHolt, a left center liberal. Okay,
(08:46):
the Stephanopolis thing was a disaster.Then with Lester Holt, not only
did he look bad, but hereally showed the stripe of the Democrats when
he attacked Lester Holt for he andthe media not being fair and pointing out
the lies during the debate the Trumpmade. For the last probably fifty years,
(09:09):
the media has been in the democratsback pocket and they've been extolling the
virtues of Democrats and criticizing everything theRepublicans do with you know, no reaction
from anyone. The first time areporter or a media actually asked tough questions
(09:31):
of Democrats, they start going totheir mother's crying. Yeah, it's amazing.
It's sad, Dave, because Imean, it's it's sad that these
are the people who are supposed tobe negotiating with terrorists on our behalf right.
I mean, it's they're supposed tobe the toughest among us, and
politics is not. It ain't beanbag, as they say. And you
(09:54):
have to have a thick skin tobe in politics at all, because there's
no way you can keep your sanityand not have a thick skin. But
you're right, when they get anydifficult questions, all of a sudden,
you get the vapors. And fromwhat I'm reading and I read this morning,
Joe Biden is very angry about this. He is not happy. Now
(10:15):
there's speculation that there was some kindof significant medical emergency. I'm looking at
Twitter right now, and we don'tknow the answer to that. But now
people are saying he signed the letterJoe Biden. He didn't sign it,
Joe Biden Junior. Why did heresign in a letter? I mean,
talk about a sort of a sadtrombone way to end a fifty year career
in politics, a letter published onTwitter. You know that seems just sad
(10:41):
to me. The only way Ican describe the last month is a twenty
five day Republican political organ I mean, it's everything's coming up roses. It
can't continue, and Republicans should notbe overconfident. By the way, as
far as this past weekend is concerned, we haven't seen anything like that in
(11:05):
two thousand and sixty eight years whenCaesar was staed by Brutus Brutus Ashis and
sixty others. Should be a twoNancy, Yeah, I think there's actually
a lot of Yeah. I thinkthere's a lot of that going on.
I got to read you a quoteby John Fetterman, who I don't know
who this John Fetterman is, butI'm not gonna lie. I like him.
(11:28):
I like him a lot and hemade a comment oh dang it that
essentially said, uh, yeah,spare me, hang on, let me
find this because it's so perfect.I want to make sure. Oh here
it is. Spare me the soaringaccolades from people with their fingerprints on the
blades in our president's back. Exactly, exactly right, Uh, Dave,
I got a couple of personal thingscoming in on the text line. The
(11:52):
people want to know, are youstill driving the Honda? Is that still
your car? You are not asoften as like before, but yes,
it's in the garage and it's happy. And what wait a minute, So
you basically took your outdoor car andmade it an indoor car. It must
be thinking it's living the high life. Now it's thinking it's immortal. It's
(12:13):
going to work forever. Well,a lot of people are hitting the text
line to say that they miss youand it's good to hear you again.
I like listening to Dave the intrepidYou dang kids, get off my grass.
When I was young, cheesecake wasa nickel, and now it's a
dollar sixty five a slice at Walmart. So yeah, that's right by the
way. Yeah, look, pet, just to change complete subjects, go
(12:35):
ahead. You know, I havea safe way into king Sooper is very
close to me and I use themall the time, and I buy everything
on sales right and when I goto buy them on sale, they have
this new system. I don't knowhow new it is, but it's new
to me. Of digital coupons,you have to y yeah, whip it
(12:56):
in order to get the really lowprice. Well, most people, a
lot of people aren't savvy using theiriPhones and they rather than bother they just
pay the regular price. And notonly is it a pain in the neck,
but about my experience is about atleast thirty percent of the time it
(13:16):
doesn't work anyway. I have toa service desk and say, why isn't
my Coca dollars seventy nine? Whyis it three seventy nine? I clipped
the thing or I can't find itwhere I'm supposed to clip it because it's
not there. And I've talked totwo employees of Safeway, and both of
(13:39):
them and I've said, you know, I hate this digital thing, and
they say, You're not the onlyone. We all hate it because they
have to take the heat from peoplecan't manage it. I hate that stuff.
If you're going to put a saleon and Safeway in king Soopers,
know that probably at least half peopledon't do it and pocket that money.
(14:01):
Yep, that's exactly Dave. Ilove the fact, wait a minute,
if they actually wanted to give youthe price, they just put the sale
price on there and it's registered whenyou check out. That's my pet piece,
Dave. I love the fact thatyou haven't been on the show in
months and you come on to talkabout the presidential election and all the chaos
(14:22):
around it, yet you still managedto slide in a good bit of diatribe
about the online coupons at the grocerystores. Never changed, Dave, lower,
never changed. And there's one morething I have. Politics are concerned.
You watch all the networks and theytell you the polling of the nation.
(14:43):
You know they're one or two pointsahead or behind, or within the
margin of error. Everybody should realizethis. National polls are completely meaningless in
relations to a presidential election. Wehave an electoral Hollood system where we have
votes in all fifty states. Theonly polls that matter are the polls in
(15:07):
the battle ground states that will decidethe election. Completely ignore the stupid national
polls. It's just like election night. They will give you the entire national
vote. It's meaningless. It's onlybecause people are curious to see the national
vote, but it has absolutely noimpact on the election. Thank you,
(15:28):
Dave the Intrepid. We'll talk toyou again. Next time you get to
be in your bonnet, call meand let me know and I'll get you
back on. One more thing,I've been thinking about taking up meditation.
I figure it's better than sitting arounddoing nothing. All right, Dave,
Dave the Intrepid, a joy asalways. I'll talk to again soon,
my friend. You take care.Thanks Dave. Some things and some people never change
