Prepare to be informed, entertained and amazed right after this.
Welcome back to KXEL.
The Jacobson group here, John Jacobson with David Overholzer, Scott Corey, and engineer Mike Shane today, the legendary Mike Shane.
And guys, we've got another terrific show this weekend for you.
David and Scott Hawkeye Football is just around the corner.
The State Fair has concluded.
all the kids are back in school there's conference realignment impacting our Hawkeyes and even our Panthers and Cyclones and boy what a tumultuous week on Capitol Hill and DC today so stand by here guys we're gonna delve into sports first but uh you know Scott we had Dave introduce himself and do a little bit of a bio as our eastern Iowa audience is getting used to you they know that Dave's kind of our
CPA economics guy, you're kind of our politico farm and egg guy.
Tell us a little bit about yourself, Scott Corey.
Sure,
well, I went to school at Morningside College in Sioux City.
Our family farm is in Woodbury County, about 40 miles east of Sioux City.
Right now, we're living in the southwest part of the state in Council Bloss with my wife, Naomi, who teaches.
She's got a couple of kids.
Her youngest, Ethan, is a junior now at York College in Nebraska.
And so between all this force and the farming and everything else, we keep pretty
We
do this ensemble of which you and David are a part of this 137 Iowa broadcast news association award Scotty so we're delighted that Jeff Stein at KXEL this wonderful station you're listening to the first in the nation 80 years ago to broadcast at 50,000 watts clear channel and you're listening to us
One of three ways, you're either listening live on their KXEL website, or you're listening to 1540, that 50,000 watt Clarion channel, 1540 AM, or at 100.5 FM.
We're delighted to be on Saturdays and Sundays with you.
You hear us march to the trenches, playing in the background, that great Sam Spence NFL music that Mike Shane has pulled up in.
Scotty and Dave, you guys have been on the cutting edge of chasing this conference realignment and we have so many Hawkeye and Cyclone and Panther fans in the area.
Scotty, you've been really doing some sleuthing.
You've got some kind of breaking news for us this weekend to recap, but all the commotion, talk a little bit about it.
Well, it has been a busy week on the realignment front.
Big Ten Commissioner Kevin Warren did a interview with Brian Gumbel on Real Sports that aired last Tuesday.
And in the interview he said that he foresees the Big Ten with future expansion.
He was asked if he could see 20 teams.
He said yes.
But we do know for sure that in previous interviews, he has never put a cap on that number.
He has used the statement it is a perpetual expansion and growth of the conference.
And so that was a pretty interesting comment.
The other newsworthy comment was where he talked about he could foresee a future where the players
are compensated some way, monetarily, for either NIL or outright payment from the university or the conference.
So there's a lot of things going on right now in Rosemont, Illinois, that's the headquarters of the Big Ten.
And we still have a lot of jockeying.
We also know for a fact that representatives of Oregon have met with representatives of the Big Ten to talk about
joining the conference.
We do not know how far those conversations have gone.
That is speculation that Phil Knight, the owner of Nike, is a part of this organization that has reached out to the big 10.
We do know that.
Isn't that interesting, David Overhold, sir?
I
just, I don't guys.
Dave's chuckling here in the studio, Scottie.
I'm just chuckling here big time because this thing just, it has fingers going everywhere.
Keep going, Scottie.
Keep going.
And we do know that through reports, including Brent McMurphy of the Action Network, he has stated that Oregon...
Stanford, California, and Washington are targets of the Big Ten.
There's also targets being listed out there, some that are pretty interesting.
There's also targets of possibly ACC schools, but their grant of rights that ties them to the conference or media rights does not...
tell up for negotiations for basically another 10 years.
So the ACC is basically locked in and the reason why everything is moving right now at the PAC schools.
is not only are we targeting the schools that, the Big Ten targeting the schools that I mentioned, is rumors out there that the four corners of Arizona, Utah, and Colorado are in talks as well as Arizona State are in talks possibly with joining the Big 12.
So there is a lot of things going on right now.
We have college football kicking off this Saturday.
We have Nebraska taking on Northwestern.
We have a huge game.
on that.
September 3rd at the prime time game of Notre Dame versus Ohio State in the horseshoe.
We have Iowa kicking off, but this overarching theme of conference realignment is hanging over the season.
So there's going to be a lot of things to talk about this year.
Scotty, that's for sure.
Scott, Corey with us.
Scott, I got a bevy of questions for you.
We've got a lot of Cyclone fans also within our listening range here.
With our ISU, is there still a home for the Cyclones?
Where do they go or where do they stay?
I
believe they're going to stay in the Big 12, whatever that looks like.
They will not receive an invitation to the Big 10 unless the conference basically goes to 50 to 60 teams, which I do not foresee.
uh... there was an interesting article that came out on uh... friday from uh... made silver who runs uh... five thirty yes yes we uh... talked about in rank all the schools based on their endowment uh... their geographic footprint their enrollment uh... uh... their meteorites things like that and listed potential suitors for the big ten and in his formula uh... which i think it's pretty
spot on it has Iowa State right way way down there in unfortunately for Iowa State they are landlocked because University of Iowa is in the Big Ten so basically those cable rights for the Big Ten network are already there so Iowa State unfortunately just doesn't really bring a lot more to the the conference that they don't already have sold up with the State of
Iowa.
I'm glad you mentioned Nate Silver I'm gonna talk about him later in the show he also had quite a
Scoop on the political front here, but we'll get to that a little bit later second question Was the big 10 throwing a brushback pitch when you know UCLA flinched and Cal tried to elbow the way in and then all of a sudden the big 10 was basically not saying to Cal don't Don't assume you're in and then that's when we kind of heard some of that Oregon talk Is the big 10 saying the marker that they're gonna
Colin, I'd be pressured as to who gets to come in and who doesn't.
Yes, and what I brought this on was that when UCLA joined the Big 10 back the first part of July, they did...
get a very limited information to their Board of Regents.
They really didn't give them a heads up.
And the Board of Regents of California is basically as dysfunctional as anything for C. And there was a regent in their meeting here about 10 days ago that said, well, we'll just tell the big 10 that they're going to take the University of California.
Well, that's not how that works.
And if history is a guide to anything,
about ten to fifteen years ago when the big twelve was in serious trouble when you had uh... texas a n m and you had uh... nebraska colorado bolting to different conferences
Missouri was openly campaigning and pressuring then Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delaney to let them into the Big Ten.
Well Jim Delaney is basically the godfather and you don't put any pressure on Jim Delaney and that's when he basically stuck a fork in them and said you're done.
And then the University of Iowa and Illinois came in and blackballed them to not allow them into the conference.
So I think this leak of the Oregon meeting at Rosemont was a very strategic
basically a Nolan Ryan pitch right across the forehead, just to let them know that you're not going to tell us what to do around here.
This isn't Texas.
And you know, Dave and I were just talking in terms of potential additional teams.
We're focusing on football, but Scott, Dave and I were wondering, Kansas J Hawks, does that make sense as a possible partner for the Big Ten?
Is Kansas on the agenda possibly?
You know, a lot of people do bring up Kansas.
They would be part of the Big Ten footprint.
They are an AAU school, which is very important to the Big Ten president and chancellor.
That's that research consortium that all the Big Ten schools, minus Nebraska, are part of.
And when we talk about the AAU, that's billions of dollars in research.
Nebraska lost theirs a couple years ago, but...
Kansas, unfortunately, they're in a state that does not have a large population.
The only thing they would be bringing to the Big 10 would be their basketball program.
And unfortunately, when you start comparing the schools to everything, you look at their endowments and what they can bring, the Big 10 is projected to bring in and start paying out to its new media that takes effect next year.
$75 to $100 million to each school.
I'm sorry, but Kansas does not bring that in there, and I don't think Kansas will be a part of the Big Ten unless we go basically to 50 to 60, in which case Iowa State and Kansas could be a part of it, but I just
don't foresee it.
So Scott, I mean, you're Kansas saying, I mean, basketball is not a picture, nearly like football is, is that correct?
Right.
Football drives the bus.
But Kansas does have a good basketball program, and the Big Ten would like to bolster basketball footprints, so to speak.
And it would bring in tremendous rivalries, potentially, of Kansas versus UCLA, for to say.
But at the end of the day, just bringing in Kansas in that basketball program, is it worth $75 million a year to the conference and meteorites?
It's just not.
OK, now my question for you, Scott, is what I call the big gorilla in the room.
What's Notre Dame going to do?
That is the key to everything.
Once Notre Dame falls, everything falls.
Right now, Notre Dame is scheduled to stay independent at this time, minus their football, which is independent, their hockey, which is actually in the Big 10 conference.
All of their Olympic sports are tied to the ACC in their meteorites.
It is projected that Notre Dame is in negotiations right now with NBC to try to bolster that.
NBC is an important partner, especially in new media rights with the Big 10, which we'll be hosting at least one to possibly two games a week, starting next year on either NBC over the air or on the Peacock network.
My gut tells me
And this is based on what Notre Dame Athletic Director Jack Schwerbach has said when he said there is going to be two solar systems and you have to align.
Well, those two solar systems are the Big Ten and the SEC.
At some point, Notre Dame will have to be forced in to either the SEC or the Big Ten if they want to be remained viable just because of everything that's going on with NIL, with everything else.
I would foresee possibly Notre Dame finding a short term contract with NBC to stay independent.
But once those Olympic sports Grand of Rights come open and the college football playoff.
is settled on who gets in and what you know right now it's four teams it could go up to 12 to 16 teams based on projections.
If they have access and that money at some point I do believe we will see Notre Dame in the big 10 probably within the next five to six years.
All right one last question.
NCAA is it even going to be around in five years?
It will be around but not in its current form.
The NCA makes the California Regents look functional.
most pathetic organizations out there.
I actually foresee that the Big 10, the SEC, and maybe some sort of remnants of the Big 12 and 8 kind of break away.
We do know for a fact that Big 10 and the SEC will break away at some point.
especially for football.
I always look at it, Dave, why should a school like, I'm going to say South Dakota State, who Iowa plays on September 3rd at Kenneck Stadium, why should they have the same vote as the University of Iowa, same vote as Ohio State, the same vote as Alabama?
They shouldn't, Scotty, unless Kristi Noem is riding in on horseback to Kinnick with her cowboy hat and jeans on carrying that big American flag leading SDSU into Kinnick.
What are the odds of that happening, Scott?
Boy, if Kristi Noem showed up at Kinnick Stadium on September 3rd, you'd almost guarantee she is running for president.
Shock waves across the whole country and it would be must-see TV.
Summer is waning, but it's still summer for another month and the kids are back in school the Iowa State Fair is concluded and Great to be back this week with dr. Brad Meyer he and his colleague dr. Ted Fogarty running the enormously successful Aeronautics clinic the performance clinic up there at spirit lake on Lake Okabogy doctor.
We've had you on
for several weeks now telling some tremendous stories about what you folks are doing up there.
Very cutting edge.
Science and medicine are embracing some of these wonderfully innovative techniques.
You've got another tremendous dementia reversal story today involving hyperbarics and some of the other therapies you use.
Take it away, Dr. Meyer.
We want to hear about this story.
Fantastic, yeah.
gentlemen from southern minnesota rogers his name um he's been with us about four weeks now and when he came in he would just respond with one word answers
kind of a glassy eyed stare wow and um we started them on our our purple powder blend which is a glutathione precursor to kind of wake up that brain
yeah i take that doctor i i use that daily it's wonderful
It's fantastic, anti-inflammatory, incredibly helpful as a immune booster, but also in memory and dementia recovery, we're having great success with it.
And so Roger, he has done about 23 dives in the hyperbaric chamber, and when I met with him a couple days ago, it blew my mind.
He came in, again, glass-y-eyed stare.
couple one word answers and and now he's carrying on conversations he's out his neighbor in fact came in he was so amazed at what he saw in roger that he's like i got to go down to this clinic in iowa
and check this out for myself because Roger's now out mowing the
And Roger is, Roger told me he cooked himself an egg the other morning.
So it's an incredible story that we're gifted to be a part of.
Our team just is continually amazed at these miracle stories that come along.
So it's a blessing to be a part of.
Indeed, Doctor, you were on the cutting edge two years ago.
You figured out how to cure COVID with front end.
antiviral therapies.
I congratulate you.
You had the courage to do it.
You've got the record now to back it
when so many others erred grievously.
You were on the cutting edge there.
So hyperbaric's oxygen.
Why does that added oxygen help?
Explain to a layman like me, Dr. Meyer.
Well, it wakes up the mitochondria that have been damaged over a lifetime from different toxins.
It gets those mitochondria, which are the power sources in the cell working better.
Dust them off.
It's like dusting off the old engine and putting in the engine fluid and, you know, our body needs oxygen.
Most of the time as we get old, because of toxic exposure, it gets oxygen deprived.
there's gene therapy part of it as well.
Over the last 15 years, we've noted
that over 8,000 different genes are turned on to the NRF2 receptor site with one dye, one hyperbaric treatment, and a lot of these genes are anti-inflammatory genes in nature, so you click those on, so it's a lot more than just oxygen and pressure.
Those things stimulate stem cells, they stimulate mitochondrial reproduction, they stimulate
Glutathione and and so you get this beautiful symphony working in in the body and a lot of times people think the therapy is just when you're in the chamber It is outside of the chamber as well because all of this beautiful symphony this orcrestra is get gets going playing together in the chamber It's like lighten the
wick For the body and then once you go out all that organic gene therapy that was turned on in the chamber is it starts
moving and doing what it needs to do to help the body heal itself, prepare itself.
Dr. Brad Meyer, M-E-Y-E-R.

Well, Doc, you're keeping me on my crazy schedule with some stamina.
I thank you and you're a real shot in the arm today in a good way shot in the arm.

We'll do.
Thanks,
John.
Thanks, Dr. Meyer.
You heard it from the great one there, Brad Meyer.
Follow him and Ted Fogarty all the way up to Okuboji, guys.
Great show sponsors.
And now live and unrehearsed, this is no mod to the great John McLaughlin and his group, issues of the day with John Jacobson, David Overholzer, Scott Corey, Mike Shane of the Controls, issue one.
Election tampering, election rigging, they laughed and said it was all specious.
for two years, but guys, Nate Silver, liberal prognosticator, Nate Silver, claimed that liberal public health elites pressured Pfizer to delay fast-track approval of its COVID-19 vaccine.
until after the 2020 presidential election, thus denying then President Donald Trump a political win before voters headed to the polls.
Say it isn't so, Scott Corey, this from Nate Silver for crying out loud.
How many different ways do these guys take a run at Donald Trump to deny him victory?
You know, it's just one of those things.
It's also reminds me of the line in Big Jake where you must think I'm a very dangerous man.
And that's how they viewed Donald Trump.
They threw everything at him.
They threw the kitchen sink at him.
They impeached him twice.
And if this is true, this is impeachable of a lot of officials, and a lot of officials need to go to jail if this actually pans out and is behind everything.
This is unexcusable.
We're making a banana republic.
Uh, we're giving them a bad name.
It's just unbelievable that this is happening.
David, I just think, you know, we're not even talking about ballots.
that were counted not counted this way we're talking about manipulating the news cycle you know it was shown that the uh one well respected professor showed that google altering how you access searches and when you look at information may have thrown 13 million votes potentially to joe biden and now this bombshell from silver about the delay of the vaccine deliberately to hurt
trump you know what i just it's just amazing
how these folks think that they're so sacred that their opinions are the only smart opinions in the room.
I mean, literally to try to manipulate a production, a product that's supposed to help the public.
What was more important was keeping Trump out of office and keeping Trump from getting a victory than it was delivering a safe product.
to the American people.
Well, and not to mention that the Chinese Communist Party didn't want to help Donald Trump at all.
He'd been their nemesis and look how that was exported deliberately.
Once it leaked, that that was exported by transatlantic flights all over North and South America.
Issue two.
Good grief we go from from leftist silver making our point to us for leftist Zuckerberg making a point for us Metta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, you know the Facebook guy this week told popular Podcaster Joe Rogan that Facebook did limit stories on the news feed
related to the New York Post story about President Biden's son Hunter Biden and his laptop after warnings from the FBI.
Guys, the FBI knew it was not disinformation and yet they still called off Facebook.
Scotty, I can't believe this.
You know, I'm often wonder if George Orwell was alive today.
He'd be frightened about the way the United States is turning out.
It makes his book, 1984, look like just a child's book.
I mean, it's unbelievable.
We have election tampering flat out by the FBI.
And then you come, or you dovetail that to what happened with the raid and the secret documents, the so-called classified documents that Donald Trump's residents
Florida.
Then we also find out that it wasn't Donald Trump that was packing those documents.
GSA, the government watchdog that handles all documents, was responsible for packing the documents and sending them from the White House to his Florida home after he left office.
So it's not Donald Trump that moved those documents.
This looks like it was a setup by GSA and the
FBI.
David it looks like we've got you know our friends on the left Three years ago two years ago.
We're saying we got a problem with law enforcement.
There was unrest I Argued a we do have a problem with law enforcement, but it's at the level of prosecutorial abuse
Absolutely.
I mean when you've got the FBI interjecting and communicating with media now I say media
I'm hesitant to call Facebook media, but apparently for a significant portion of the public.
Facebook is where they are getting their news and but I just find oh my god that the FBI is saying hey suppressed I mean this this has got 60s intrigue when when you know the the press wouldn't talk about Kennedy's issues and things like that I mean this is all smoke filled rooms and and in back room dealing and oh my gosh the FBI is in the middle of all this
Amazing, amazing.
Guys, this has been the most awesome half hour in radio on KXEL Weekends with you here on the Jacobson Group.
