The Jacobsen Group with Jon Jacobsen · Tue Nov 29, 2022
Hello, this is John Jacobson, and welcome to this podcast of The Jacobson Group.
We're on the radio on News Talk 1540KXEL each weekend, and be sure to subscribe so you don't miss any of the podcasts of the program.
Prepare to be informed, entertained, and amazed right after this.
Well, Scotty, the Hawks were bowlbound.
John Jacobson here on the Jacobson group with Scott Corey in the co-chair here.
And we've got the ringtone for the inimitable great engineering excellence of Mike Shane.
Play it, Mike.
When you hear this sounder, you know you're in for entertainment excellence.
On a weekend in Iowa, you're listening to us triple option attack, 1540 AM.
50,000 watt mega torch curming across not just Iowa but the Midwest and FM on a Cedar Rapids and Waterloo that 100.5 and then listening to us online at KXEL.com if you want to gift the podcast KXEL.com slash Jacobson that Danish spelling with S-E-N there hey Scotty a disappointment yesterday but
You know, at the beginning of the year, I said I would be thrilled with seven and five, and that's what we got.
Now, we didn't get there the way I thought we would, but we're seven and five.
We're going bowling to season extends that helps recruiting.
A lot of good from a season that was on the ropes earlier.
They salvaged.
They did a save to use a baseball term.
I'm pleased.
Another winning season and a bowl for the Ference era.
You know, that's a great point, John.
And I would actually say it's almost felt like it's been four or five seasons wrapped into this one season.
And, you know, we had the tremendous, terrible start, I guess, the word I would use to start out.
We just could not gain any traction on the offense.
Then we ran into Michigan and Ohio State in that buzzsaw.
Two very good
Michigan Ohio State this year.
Yeah, they will probably both be in the playoff.
And then, you know, we had this middle run here where Iowa turned it around.
They ran the table against Northwestern, Purdue, Minnesota, and a very good Wisconsin team.
Four in a row.
I
mean, they won all those trophy games for
crying out loud.
Exactly, exactly.
You know, and Wisconsin has been our nemesis throughout the last six or seven years.
And so it is a disappointing end to the regular season.
We do have a shot at a very good bowl game.
We'll know that on December 4th.
And we tied for first
in the
Big Ten West.
We're still co-champions of the Big Ten West.
Exactly.
And you know, it's interesting too, is that it's been quite a few years before actually anybody's actually repeated as Big Ten West champion.
Exactly.
Exactly.
But the way the team rallied, and we saw that in the photos last Saturday when Iowa defeated Wisconsin at Canada.
Thatcher's worth a thousand words,
baby.
Yes.
And the week before, too.
And the week before, too.
You know, just the emotion that Iowa showed, and Kurt Ferenc showed.
He
kept the team.
They
did
not, they did not.
They they they rallied and got to give that Nebraska team credit.
They rallied for Mickey Joseph They salvaged something out of just another disappointing season at least they're not back-to-back three and nine teams They moved the dial we bit especially since coach
Joseph came in as the interim.
Yep, and it looks like reports are from Fox as well as ESPN that Nebraska is going to be targeting Matt Rule who has formerly been at Baylor and Temple turned those programs around and it was at Carolina earlier this year until he was fired.
So things are going to be shaken out here in the West moving forward.
There's a lot of football to be played.
There's going to be a lot of interesting recruits being re-signed as well as through the transfer portal.
We would be remiss if we didn't give a huge shout out to Phil Parker,
the way
he handled the Iowa defense this year.
He's up for the broil award.
He should win that.
Yeah, number one assistant in my mind the last couple years actually.
No question.
No question.
What he has done at Iowa and that defense.
That defensive unit won games this year.
Yes.
There were multiple games where they scored it, where defense and special teams scored as many points as the offense.
Exactly.
And so having Phil being that stalwart there at the defense has meant so much.
We've joked in the last 24 years.
We've had Kurt as our head coach, but we've only had two Parkers as our defense coordinator.
And you know, Norm Parker, what he did at Iowa to help Kurt build it and that what Phil Parker has done to take it to the next elite level has just been tremendous.
And so, John, we're very excited about seeing where this ends up.
Oh, and you know, we've only just begun because we're going to be here all winter for Iowa basketball that I have been following.
for 50 years of my life, Scotty, since that great Miller six-pack team.
undefeated the Big 10 14 and 0 with the Miller six pack in 1970 71 Scotty, we may have a special team again this
year.
You know, and we're going to have a couple of special players that looks like I'm really excited to see what Chris Murray can do kind of out of the shadow of his twin brother and he's got a great team around him.
It looks like and I do mean a team and we'd be remiss to if we didn't give a shout out to Lisa Bluter and Caitlin Clark at the Iowa women.
They are going to be on a tear this year through the big 10.
Absolutely.
and uh... don't forget the brand's brothers in the wrestling uh... it's gonna be a fun fun uh... winter time at uh... kennig or excuse me carver hawkeye arena
and it's gonna be a fun fun time here this weekend this show is gonna rock let's
roll
I love
Lucy.
I know you love Lucy.
I remember as a kid growing up in Marion Cedar Rapids watching I Love Lucy and the Lucy show and here's Lucy on the CBS affiliate.
They called it WMT is now KGAN right now.
Guys, you don't have to have a great voice to celebrate Christmas.
Lucille Ball in the 1974 version of MAME does a very nice version of We Need Little Christmas.
We'll talk about whether that's a Christmas movie and maybe if
Die Hard's a Christmas movie, but the expert to help us weigh in with Mike Shane here at the engineering deck is Bruce Crawford.
Bruce Crawford from Omaha who twice a year has the Omaha Classic Film Event at the Omaha Community Playhouse where he brings Hollywood
to the Midwest with all sorts of gala screenings for charity.
And Bruce knows them all because Bruce collaborates with Turner Classic Movies, is considered an expert worldwide on the film music of Bernard Herrmann, on the motion picture Ben Herr, A Tale of the Christ, the definitive 12 Academy Award winner, starring Charlton Heston.
Bruce has won an honorary Oscar and was feted at the Kennedy Center.
Honors for film preservation.
Bruce, you're going to help talk to us about Christmas movies for our Eastern Iowa groups.
Welcome to the show, Bruce.
Great to be here.
Hey, Bruce, so I pulled one out of thin air.
We need a little Christmas from Mame by Lucy.
That may not be a Christmas movie, but let's start right out of the bat.
I know Scott's got a question, the perennial question about what movie is or isn't.
They were fighting about it after another radio show recording
recently.
You know, Bruce, thanks for joining us today.
And, you know, the one conversation that never always happens on social media this time of year, and I agree with it, is diehard a Christmas movie.
movie now what is your thoughts because this is going to make or break the segment i think your bruce
well i tell you i really don't have a definitive answer for that
oh bruce you're killing me you're killing me it's a christmas bruce willis yeah
you got it depends on your criteria for a christmas movie you can say that uh...
The 1965 World War II classic, Battle of the Bulge, is a Christmas movie.
True.
The
Nazis invaded their identity forest on the day before Christmas.
Well, and crossing the Delaware, if we did a Revolutionary War movie, that was done on Christmas.
And you could make the argument that Patton was too, because of the scene where he liberates the Bastogna that saves the 101st Airborne.
That's
right.
Battle of the
Bulge.
Yeah.
And so, but Bruce talked to us a lot about what's going on here, because, you know, you and I have talked off the air before.
for and as I'm getting older, I'm in my forties now.
I am really starting to connect more and more with Chevy Chase's character, Clark Griswold in Christmas Vacation, where you try to give your family the best vacation or Christmas possible, but dealing with crazy cousins and as well as in-laws.
Talk to us a little bit about this holiday season.
Well, you kind of summed it up all right there.
He deals with the pitfalls that
the trials and tribulations of dealing with in-laws, neighbors, and crazy people.
And that always makes mixture together, makes for a crazy movie.
You know, Bruce, literally, I was in Cedar Rapids just two days ago on Thursday with my aging mother and my bride, who's very young at heart and young herself.
That movie was on we started watching it and I got the initial oh this is a Chevy Chase thing is this one of those lampoon things and I said actually there's a lot of poignancy to this movie and they they started to get the drift from his frustration with getting the lights in the uncle and the cousins coming in the the boss that that seemed a little aloof and distant and you know just the kinds of things that
It actually Bruce reminded me in a way.
I remember when I was much younger and my father was my age.
I remember watching Mr. Hobbes takes a vacation with Jimmy Stewart.
Of course.
And I remember laughing and the great Maureen O'Hara and John MacGyver.
And I remember laughing and saying, dad, isn't this hysterically funny?
And my dad was wistful and he said, why, I don't think so, John.
And I said, dad, what's going on?
He says,
look at this poor man he loves his family he's trying to keep them together the bonds together and put this great vacation on all these problems he's having and i think scott struck a nerve in what he talked about earlier there is something underlying the humor there a sadness in a way and what a great cast with with with randy quaid and with uh...
The late great John Randolph, the late great E.G.
Marshall from CBS Radio Mystery Theater, Doris Roberts in her late 50s, still the perfect mother-in-law.
What a tremendous guest.
That movie has John Hughes written all of it.
It's kind of one for the ages, isn't it, Bruce?
It is.
It's kind of an acquired taste because I come across all people who are not big Chevy Chase fans, and unfortunately that colors their opinions of the movie.
Yeah.
Well, you know not everybody was a John Wayne fan politically, but but it's Seems like even people on the left love John Wayne movies I mean Mark Ray Dell who directed him the Cowboys didn't see eye-to-eye with the Duke on politics But boy that he loved him and I think that that was emblematic of some of the Duke's later directors I'm gonna throw an entry out that people very few people under the age of 60 Because I'm I'm in my seventh decade now
I think Three Godfathers with John Wayne is a great Christmas movie.
Why is that Bruce?
Well, because it tells us that the Three Godfathers have a kind of a surrogate for the three wise men.
Right.
And they have to save this baby from the mother who passed.
And that, of course, is the contemporary, basically contemporary since the 19th century.
Right.
Time frame.
Right.
But
The Three Godfathers is like a three wise men.
So those that have a definitely a parallel connection there.
Yes.
Bruce, the greatest movie ever made.
You and I in agreement on it.
Ben Hur, A Tale of the Christ, starring Charles Heston, the great soundtrack by Miklos Rosa.
You say that's a Christmas movie.
Now, I always think of that as an Easter Resurrection Sunday movie.
You're adamant about being Christmas movie.
Give us your rationale.
Well, since
the beginning of the movie is the first Christmas, that would kind of define it right there, wouldn't you say?
I would.
I would.
That star over Bethlehem is pretty prominent on that giant big screen.
Yeah, in fact, I saw Ben here for the
first time in my life as a 14-year-old kid on Christmas screening in the theater in my hometown on Christmas night.
Oh, you did?
That was the first time I ever saw it.
And so we left it, of course, a life-changing impact on my life.
Yeah, it really begins with the first Christmas and it ends, of course, with Resurrection Sunday, so it covers the whole gamut of the New Testament from beginning to end.
And it takes that creative license of Baltazar being a pivotal character, one of the three magi, who traverses the entire film intersecting the life of Jesus Christ as well as Judah Ben Hur.
Exactly, that was the genius of...
not a director william wilder but of course blue walls who wrote the novel that's what that was his bible fiction personalization he had both are live another thirty four years from the time of the nativity to the crucifixion because both are with with uh... was meant to be in probably the early nineties for the time that happened at the time of the crucifixion and they picked at the billy at sky shactor finley curry
all he was wonderful man
He was wonderful.
People will remember him in a variety of other roles, including as St.
Peter and Corvadas.
He was a great.
Yes, but his Baltasaurus definitive.
It is, it is.
The genius of William Weiler and the screenwriter, the Christian humanist Christopher Fry, who wrote all the dialogue from beginning to end of that film.
but but but keeps it so literate and on a level of Shakespeare and beyond
yes
at least on the same level of integrity and quality
very much
how he has all of the new testament story comes from only two people it comes basically from
The dialogue of Baltazar and the dialogue of Esther.
Exactly.
Exactly.
You know, Bruce, you talked to us before and help our listeners here on KXEL kind of understand the importance of the writing of Ben Hur because it was written by a general in the United States Civil War.
Yeah, it was written about 20 years after the Civil War in 1880 when he was a governor of the territory of New Mexico.
And the whole thing was started by a
a debate he got into with a gentleman named Ingersoll, who was a well-known atheist in the late 19th century.
And him and Wallace shared a passenger train car on a trip across the country on a train.
And he was listening to his lectures.
But what motivated Wallace to write the novel was he was going to write a fictionalized story about the Christ figure.
But his intention was to support Engelsall, that atheism was actually the actual answer, that Engelsall was correct, and that he was going to actually write an official story to support Engelsall's belief of atheism.
But amazingly, as he started writing the story, he kept moving, he kept being moved into a different direction.
Fascinating.
Isn't that amazing?
It is we've seen that though with actors have been involved in the passion of the Christ and in the chosen and even lately Shia Labouf doing his acting job as Padre Pio becoming a Catholic Christian he was drawn in by you know some of the liturgical beauty that he saw there.
Bruce it's just it's an amazing
history of how our art and cinema informs us and sometimes inspires and edifies us.
Let's talk about the monochrome movies, the black and white movies.
I think some of our finest American cultural heritage is in those black and white Christmas movies.
We got to make sure these young kids are
are willing to take a chance on something that's not colorized, but there are some great ones out there.
I'd like to just throw a few out and have you just riff on them.
It's a wonderful life.
A Christmas Carol.
I would say Miracle on 34th.
Let's take a look at those three.
Well, yes, it's interesting about some of this prejudice against black and white movies.
What I find so funny and fascinating and funny about it is some sort of bit of hypocrisy.
Because I asked people, some people who say they have a prejudice against black and white, I asked them, I said, do you guys watch... It's
a
wonderful
life,
yeah.
They said, yeah, my entire family watch it every time it's on.
Do you enjoy it?
Yeah, we love it.
I said, well, you know it's black and white.
They forget that it's black and white.
Yeah,
yeah, yeah.
And the same thing with To Kill a Mockingbird, which is not a black and white
movie.
It's nice.
I've known
teenage kids that I can't stand black and white, but I love To Kill a Mockingbird.
after a lot of black-and-white movie they completely forget that's black and
white point
so it didn't have to entranced by the movie but story
yeah what's the so we all love this wonderful life what's the magic valster sim in a christmas carol and natalie wood and edmund gwen in miracle and thirty-fourth
exactly there's a two more films are watched you know religious department of religiously every year by people even those who say they claim to hate black and white
they'll sit and they'll sit and they'll watch those films because they forget that it's black and white.
They're so captivated by the story, by the performances, by the impact of it.
And as a secular...
Christmas movie, make it on 24th Street, probably at the top of the list of those.
Yeah, exactly.
There's that wonderful scene where Edmund Gwen as Santa is conversing with the little Dutch girl who's the orphan that they brought over and she lights up like a Christmas tree when he connects with her at that level.
Bruce, is there a modern?
classic Christmas and I'm not talking about just the Hallmark movies starring Lacey Chabert or Candace Cameron Bruret.
They're up there at the top of my list and there was a great Hallmark movie that William Shatner was a sleigh driver taking him back through up.
time travel.
That was pretty good too.
But Bruce, would you put Polar Express up there?
Would you put ELF up there?
Those are modern classics
that have captivated a lot of people that are washed every year.
I mean, they're running them on TV 24-7 practically.
Yeah.
Because they are very popular.
They're very well done.
They hold up very well.
Bruce, what about animated?
I always think of the trifecta of Charlie Brown.
and the Grinch and my favorite is of course Santa Claus is coming to town but substitute in those Rankin bass entries and we lost Jules Bass just the other day the colleague of the late Arthur Rankin they contributed a lot to our Christmas heritage didn't they?
Yeah for entertainment purposes they certainly did and of course the penultimate achievement is on CBS every year it's on this coming next next
Tuesday evening is, of course, Rudolph Ridden was reindeer, which has become a perennial classic every year.
They run it.
These were little kids.
These just run it once during the Christmas season.
Now the networks run it two or three times now.
Well, you know what reinforces to me the indelible print that those have even had on our culture is writing back after Thanksgiving with my wife for several hours in the car listening to serious holiday traditions.
And isn't it funny?
Thrill Ravenscroft's
you're a mean one Mr. Grinch, Pearl Iveses have a holly jolly Christmas, Frosty the Snowman.
Those songs have worked their way to send you now of our popular holiday Christmas music menu, Bruce.
Absolutely.
Of course, in the late 1940s, it was Gene Autry's Rudolph Leroy's reindeer that became such a huge hit that he made very successful.
You know Bruce, there's been rumors out there and I guess it's going to move forward.
They're going to be remaking the classic Christmas story with Frankie, you know, and that's one of those.
I'm always kind of hesitant when they start remaking movies and things like that.
What are your thoughts on
that?
Yeah, Ralphie's going to come back as Peter Billingsley is going to star in.
Is it a sequel?
It's out right now and I'm good friends with two of the stars of that film because I brought them back.
four years ago i brought them back to omaha for special five years ago for special tribute screening in november but the two thousand seventeen i had yes
works in
farcass it's yeah that were to play scott parkas and and uh... scott's work to course was the kid who froze his tongue
yeah
unfold
for his head he had yellow eyes for crying out loud that guy
did
And they're both in a sequel.
It's not a remake.
It's an updated sequel of Ralphie, about 40 years after the story took place.
The story took place in 1946.
And this sequel takes place in 1986, and shows them 40 years later.
And that whole movie was made 40 years ago.
They've aged 40 years since then.
They thought they'd keep it in the same timeframe that they'd be the right age they should be.
Very good.
Bruce, I can't wait for a review of that.
If you watch that, here we'll bring you back on next week or the week after and get that review from you.
I guess the feedback has been tremendous from fans.
It's a worthy sequel.
Very
well done.
Cast members, all the cast members, surviving cast members, because all the kids are still alive,
obviously.
And they're all in the sequel.
It's not a remake.
Let's make it clear, it's not a crappy
remake.
It's a very clever idea to age it 40 years
later.
To the age that the child actors are today, which would make it from 1946 to 1986.
So it's very clever.
Bruce, the Walton Thanksgiving did that.
They did a Walton Thanksgiving movie about...
a quarter of a century after the show started.
It was in the early 90s.
And of course, it brought them up.
The hinge point of that episode was the JFK assassination, which was roughly 25 years after the Walton's Depression era was supposed to start.
So yeah, that's a fascinating take.
Bruce, it's wonderful to have you.
When are you going to have your next event?
Because we got to tell everybody in Eastern Iowa when to keep their eyes open.
We'll keep them up to speed on when you're having your big Omaha gala again.
I guess Saturday May 13th being held for us next year So don't know I did what we're gonna do yet for sure But we got the date held so people can put on the calendar.
Well, you won't you won't have to go to Hollywood You'll just have to drive a few hours of Omaha.
It's always great Bruce.
Thanks for joining us And we'll have you back once word for a Christmas talk about some more of these Christmas TV shows and movies and songs How's that sound sounds good?
All right guys Bruce Crawford ladies and gentlemen great to have your Bruce
Thanks for having me.
And, uh, Bruce, I'm gonna watch Mane, because I've never seen that scene in the movie before.
I gotta watch that, too.
Okay.
Always gotta add something onto my Christmas repertoire.
Final thing, guys.
White Christmas is still the one that the lovely and gracious Mrs. Jacobson I watch the most.
It's not Christmas without Ben Crosby.
And if you're in Iowa, it's really not Christmas without Andy Williams.
You know, that's a great point, John.
And, you know, even my wife Naomi, she watches that probably every day leading up to the week of Christmas.
And so it's on our TV all the time.
And then when she's done watching that, she flips right over to the Hallmark Channel.
A little known trivia question is Irving Berlin wrote White Christmas and that was in two famous Bing Crosby movies holiday in the black and white version.
And then White Christmas, the colorized version with Crosby and Danny Kane and Dean Jagger.
And White Christmas won the Academy Award for Best Song in the first movie, Holiday Inn, and the only time in Oscar history, the presenter, Irving Berlin, called his own name.
That's the only time that's happened.
And Bruce, you might remember this.
His comment was, I'm very glad to see that I've known this fellow for a long time.
Irving Berlin guys another another great part of these festivities here Welcome back welcome back to our segment our regular segment Scotty as we've been doing this ongoing in-depth series
this feature, if you would, on what's going on with respect to medical freedom in this post-COVID environment.
And we've got back with us today the experts, the great healers, three physicians who I argue have unparalleled success in beating down COVID during the epidemic.
They had tremendous front-end curative rates.
Doctors Ted Fogarty
and Bradley Meyer from the aeronautics clinic up in Spirit Lake up in the Okuboji area.
It's got not far from where you've got some farmland up there and of course flanking our eastern end of the Mississippi River.
Dr. David Hartzich from the Quad Cities.
Welcome back.
I feel like Chevy Chase.
Doctor, doctor and doctor.
Hello, John.
I'm yours.
Hello.
We've got all three of you guys on.
Let's start east today.
Let's go with Dr. Hart, such former Iowa State Senator, Scotty, Republican Iowa Senator.
Yeah, absolutely.
It's great to have you with us over this holiday weekend.
Doctor, talk to us a little bit about what you're working on right now.
There's some irons in the fire.
You want to kind of soak it a little bit today?
Well, I think the thing to talk about is actually
you know, what the board has been doing that's outside of its range of what the legislature has entrusted with it.
And we're talking Iowa Board of Medicine.
Iowa Board of Medicine, correct.
You know, and this is happening across the United States where the boards of medicine are deciding to take on any doctor who has been treating the disease using ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine, or maybe they're talking against the vaccine, but maybe it's unsafe for
perhaps that it doesn't work.
And those are, what they're trying to do is impose science.
They're trying to define what science is, and they're out to punish any physician who thinks otherwise about what the science says.
But doctor, a year into this from where we were, well, it started two years ago, but even, well, really three years ago.
At some point within the last year, the data started coming out and it is with apodictical certitude that we can say that some people are having extraordinary adverse reactions.
I won't call the vaccine because it's not properly a vaccine.
It's a Myrna.
Lowercase M, capital R, N, A. These Myrna jabs, these shots, these needles have been
bad for some folks who are predisposed not to have that take well on them.
And I can't believe we've talked about this era of informed consent.
How can you railroad something that's experimental without telling people about the deleterious effects?
I don't know how a board of medicine in a state that proclaims itself a free state can continue to get by with this schizophrenia.
Yeah, I think what's happening is their whole story is starting to unravel in our society as we begin to, as people are dropping dead on a field, you know, a plain field or whatever.
And so people are saying, hmm, doesn't quite jive of what we know.
And so what they think is science is really not science at all.
It's just a story laid out by the FDA.
And by the way, the FDA has been backpedaling on this.
They sure have been, Doc Hartsich.
They sure have been.
Talk about that.
Yeah, so ivermectin, the FDA was, oh, it's dangerous.
Don't want to do that.
It's horse paste.
That's a medicine for horses.
You don't want to do that.
And then going after, publicly humiliating any doctor who uses ivermectin, and then shaming the pharmacist into not filling the prescriptions for it.
And now the FDA and this lawsuit by the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons has backpedaled and they're saying, oh, no, no, that was just a suggestion.
Oh, we weren't really saying you can't use it.
It's just gaslighting.
It's gaslighting to the maximum extent.
And I'm going to kick it over to our Spirit Lake friends here.
You know, guys, I was in the legislature shaking a thousand hands.
a week.
I got COVID at least twice and I'm telling you prescription prescribed ivermectin for me turned it around in two days and that was a bad bug.
My lungs were heavy and the ivermectin worked for me and I can't believe that the same government that is going after these good doctors doesn't realize that you guys up there got a federal grant
from the federal health administration because your approaches are so effective.
Talk about that.
Well, Brad, do you want to talk about the purplepowder.com a little bit here?
Absolutely, yeah.
So Dr. Fogarty, when he was still up in North Dakota, worked with the egg commissioner, Doug Gehring, to come up with a natural nutraceutical that was going to boost the immune system and the COVID pandemic.
And so he came up with this, this, this, this super food, super powder that we've, we've got on the product.com going through the weekend sales and black Friday specials.
This is the innovation side of medicine that, that, you know, the powers that be don't want us to try to find ways around what they say are the approved quote unquote.
treatments and of course we know the approved treatments were do nothing essentially and and so Dr. Fogarty came up with this amazing blend which we've used over the course of the pandemic so effectively to boost the immune system of course RSV is going around right now flu season and the the COVID variants continue to swing around
So we want to be responsible for our own health care and being proactive and to have this amazing nutraceutical in our homes.
That's just an insurance policy there and active immune support booster that's the smart thing to do to get that in-house.
That was Dr. Bradley Meyer.
Go back, go ahead guys.
John, I just want to go
through a little more political football here.
Yeah, Dr. Ted Fogarty, guys.
Yeah, Doc, take it away.
Yeah, so we have multiple patients, Dr. Meyer and I, who have had their ejection fractions recovered after, you know, COVID-based and even vaccine-based myocardopathies.
We've been using the purple powder to basically re-nutrient and regenerate the mitochondria.
mitocardium and the mitochondria within people's hearts.
Of course, we're also using our mild hyperbaric program to also improve the recovery of injured hearts in this bio warfare that is impacting so many great American families.
And just going back up to when Brad and I first got together, we were setting precedents across the lines, treating people in micro-ICUs is what I would call them.
with installations of home chambers and people who had active COVID.
Within three days of Brad's being fired from the South Dakota outfit of Vera for saving lives with IVNAC, which is a part of the Purple Potter, in terms of cysteine-based amino acids, Brad was fired on Monday and I was on the next Tuesday, I was on air describing what happened to Brad.
on North Dakota AM radio station that broadcasts across state lines and even into Canada.
And I went through how I use ivermectin horse paste every day as a hand cream and a protective agent for my work in North Dakota Hostel.
And I've also taught by precedent over the airwaves that the use of ivermectin paste
can rescue a family member who is potentially dying of COVID and not going to go into the hospital anyway.
These precedents are extremely important and especially in all of the rural counties from the Nebraska and Iowa borders up to the Canadian border.
We have set so many precedents in life-saving communications with you as well as with my North Dakota team of broadcasters.
Thank you so much.
Well, you're, you're welcome.
And you're, you're, you're, you're real.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Doc Hartzich,
a little bit here, John.
Yeah.
Doc, come on back in from the Mississippi.
Dr. David Hartzich.
Yeah.
So these tremendous doctors here, they are, they are showing exactly what I'm talking about in terms of science.
You know, they've been to medical school and people just would not believe the amount of science that they, that they pour into our minds in medical school.
And we have a system that's based upon the fact that you have to be qualified to understand the science, and that's why we go to medical school.
However, the boards of medicine think otherwise.
They think that we are there to just hold out the scientific thought that the board says is true, regardless of whether it conflicts with what we already know.
But the reality of it is we have a system that relies
on doctors being able to independently and freely assess the medical information, the scientific information in order to best deliver healthcare to the patient.
That's what these doctors are doing.
It's absolutely true.
And I want to focus on all three of you have touched on this variously in our ongoing conversations.
But hyperbaric therapy, I first became cognizant of that.
Six years ago in the legislature when we started to approve programs for veterans with brain injuries PTSD hyperbaric therapy in the news recently Jay Leno severe burns to face and Chest area from a fire that was was caused by one of his eats a car collector as a TV series and
injured and of course this caught the national zeitgeist because everybody's reading that he's was using hyperbaric therapies been released he looks good uh... you know if jay leno and those on the left can even benefit from uh... some these techniques this gets out in the public uh... consciousness a bit more doesn't it
yeah well i'd like to talk to you for a second let me just type in for a for a second my
yeah this time for ten forty four
arch
My work with Dr. Paul Harch in developing the protocols for our U.S.
veterans goes back all the way to 2009 and it's Dr. Harch and my radiological illustrations of the most important and most powerful modality in the history of medicine for reversing brain injury that has come out of Dr. Harch's great practice at LSU.
That is actually what you were
you were working on in the legislature six years ago to try and get through.
And now Dr. Hartz and I have gone further into really there's a whole international crowd of people who are continually asking from outside of America what the Fogarty is going on with Dr. Hartz's research.
When there's all these other nation states, including Israel, who are starting to use Dr. Hartz's protocol
to
get the dementia.
and brain injury in veterans and their nation-state population and nobody in America is singing the praises of Dr. Paul G. Hartz who developed all of this for our veterans and for our nation.
Well before I go to Meyer and then give Hartz just the final word I want to say we have had in this ongoing series many of your patients sing your praises and I know that
heart such has had some innovative techniques also on abating COVID and one thing though folks and I'll let Dr. Meyer take this question and I'll have a heart such close out the segment Dr. Meyer, you know, we pride ourselves being a free state in Iowa and yet we now have Incredibly this this horrendous news this come in the last month of a medical board that we thought would be
good appointments by a governor and a director of health and human resources and public health in Iowa that was appointed by a Republican governor and somehow with them at the helm this board of medicine has appointed an ultra leftist
Pro-abortion, Planned Parenthood former official who lobbied in the Iowa legislature against every possible medical freedom bill that was out there.
We are at least as far the left as Gavin Newsom in California is in terms of persecuting doctors for curing people.
Dr. Meyer, this is outrageous.
and it really is it's it's it's it's that the heart to talk often talked about the chilling effect that that has on innovation and getting uh... our patients the therapies and options to right to choose uh...
and that
includes uh... not just i remember
in
a big way hyperbaric and you know is an example like that just was on a podcast couple nights ago with the great cardiologist peter mccullough yes or front of uh...
The COVID early treatment.
We interviewed him and they're just persecuting the hell out of him.
They are.
He and I, we had a great conversation talking about, he's seeing beyond just the traumatic brain injury aspects with hyperbaric, the great value in treating spike protein injury from the COVID, Myrna,
uh... vaccine quote-unquote vaccine injury that we're seeing and covid long-haul hit his interesting theory is that uh... he thinks that there might be an indolent affection for folks that have had the covid long-haul symptoms and that uh... you know that this is truly an assault on our immune system and when we're doing the hyperbaric therapy we are absolutely boosting the immune system so we're we're we're helping the body uh...
boost up that immune system to fight those symptoms.
Regrowing mitochondria.
Absolutely.
To the point where we've had somebody come in from Ohio, we had another couple come in from Indiana last week to the clinic, and this poor gal, biology teacher out of Ohio, that a year plus out from having two of the vaccines, and she had POT, so she gets dizzy, she's having rashes.
She's got brain fog, tired all the time.
Been off to Johns Hopkins,
no
answers there.
And so she's, you know, we're, if we are, if the board freezes doctors from innovating in, and then these folks can't come to us for the treatment, if they're attacking the people that
are
offering alternatives, then, you know, this fine lady out of Ohio, she calls, she talks to Dr. Pogarty, you know, a week later after 10 hyperbaric treatments,
And her symptoms are 80% improved
in
hyperbaric treatments in her clinic.
I mean, that's miraculous stuff that we should, you know, if everybody that's suffering from COVID injury out there, both that vaccine and long haul knew that the purple powder that's out there that can help rehab that those mitochondria and bolster the immune system along with the hyperbaric.
You know, most people are kind of resigned.
I'm going to have to live this way the rest of my life.
And no, you need to get hyperbaric.
Help is on the way.
Before I give heart such the final word, can you guys, how do they get ahold of you guys aeronautics up there?
Hold on.
Dr. Meyer, I have the mother of all racketeering cases lined up, teed up from across the state line, across the Missouri River and here in Nebraska, to the Iowa Board of Medicine and to the Federation of State Medical Boards.
Do not worry and do not be afraid.
We are going to
take these people down.
And if you want to come see Dr. Meyer or myself up in Spirit Lake, it's aeronauticsperformance.com on the internet with an X instead of CS at the end of aeronautics.
And
our
phone number is 712-339-6024.
And we are on Facebook as well, where we're having a Black Friday sale for the Purple Potter.
You can get a two for one deal, basically.
this weekend and today for the greatest superfoods, nutraceuticals, designer play of North Dakota in service to saving American families.
Ted Fogarty and Bradley Meyer.
Dr. Hartzich, let's wrap this up here.
Where do we go from here to preserving our rights as patients to get informed consent and to get the best possible medicinal alternatives?
Am I going to have to go over this?
Go after this medical board through legislation or if legislation doesn't get us there, perhaps through our justice system.
I'm a firm believer in the power of petition.
And I think the board has to hear from everybody about how important it is to free up the doctors to allow them to tackle the problems that America is facing with the COVID vaccine, the COVID disease.
and so that we get adequate treatment for the complications of both.
And then the other thing I mentioned here is that the board is trying to enforce standard
therapy.
The best therapy.
And this is called standardive care.
It's a legal term.
But it means that you're doing the right thing for the patient.
That's
standardive
care.
But the board has this warped view of standard care.
We want to get all the doctors doing the same thing so that there's no
alternative.
but to do what every other doctor is doing.
So it eliminates the right of patients to get the right treatment that they need.
Well, this administration can't have it both ways.
They can't be running Gavin Newsom medicine boards and run for reelection saying that they kept Iowa free.
It's a schizophrenic dichotomy and you can't have both.
And they have a tin ear because I've been yelling from the ramparts for 10 months about this.
and we get a worse medical director.
Dr. Hartzich, how do they reach you?
You've got patients singing your praises, they fed at a dinner, and you're honoring Cedar Rapids.
How do they reach you, Doc?
I think the best way is, particularly I want to hear from those people who have been injured, they can text injured to 563-293-7424.
It's 563-293-7424, or they can just dial the number and they'll get me on the phone.
and I'd love to hear from anybody, whatever their issue is, and we need to make a change here in Iowa.
We do, and I'm confident that this series, Scott Corey, this in-depth series, is not only getting that out because we're doing this on three, let's just say three different networks, including this great KXEL, we're getting the word out, and it's very important that we do that, and I think there's even some
journalists in some of the awarding.
Bodies that are taking a look at this this bodes well to get the truth You know the data is totally bending in the direction of these doctors here John
and the one thing that I'm actually looking at is that how many phone calls and text messages Are we getting so called off the record from the powers that be in Des Moines?
There's something going on out there that they don't really want to talk to Publicly, but we know we're on the right path with these doctors.
Yes, it's gonna be an interesting Session I think coming up starting in January
very much
So docks you'll be happy that a few of the folks that voted against my Medical freedom bill the ones that didn't lose in the primaries got really bad committee Assignments, and that's good.
There was some punishment meet it out, and I love it guys doctors David hard such from the Quad Cities doctors Ted Fogarty and Bradley Meyer from Spirit Lake all three MDs all three on the cutting edge of COVID
COVID curative and front end antiviral healing.
I love that purple powder, guys.
You gotta recharge those cells, guys.
That's the building blocks of all of our immune system.
Thanks all three of you guys for being with us.
We need a little Christmas.
You guys are full of cheer and help is on the way with all three of you guys.
Thanks again for joining us this weekend.
Thanks, John.
See ya.
See ya, Dr. Hartsich.
Thanks, Dr. Bradley Meyer.
Scotty, always a highlight on our weekend on KXEL, the blowtorch, 50,000 watts, caraming all across the Big Ten, especially in eastern Iowa on 1540 AM, 100.5 FM.
As my post Thanksgiving departure from my dear mother in Marion, we just drove by that beautiful KXEL transmitter and it's always wonderful in our business segment.
to bring on the matriarch of Haymes Homes LLC, this multi-generational family business of excellence, providing beautiful and safe and sturdy manufactured housing at very affordable prices to the folks in our community.
And what a thriving community.
I mean, Scott, Marion and Cedar Rapids were great when I grew up there as a kid.
But it's the business.
It's this economic explosion in eastern Iowa, which has occurred across a generation here.
And part of that's because we've got these entrepreneurs, the late, great Kurt Norma Hames and now Barbara Hames Bryant that continue to build this community into one of the most
prosperous in the nation.
You know, that's a great point, John.
You know, in Iowa, we talk a lot about our family farms, but we would be remiss if we didn't talk about our family-owned businesses and multi-generational businesses.
And Barbo, you've done so much for the Marion Cedar Rapids area, but not only that in eastern Iowa as well.
I just want to wish you a happy Thanksgiving and talk to us a little bit about some of the specials that you have going on there as well as the food pantry.
Well, thank you gentlemen.
It's so great to hear from you.
I think you pretty much covered it.
Three generation family business, safe, sturdy housing.
Yeah, we're good.
Okay, yeah specials.
We have a beautiful double sectional for sale right now and you can see it on our website at www.jameshomes.com JamesHomes.com
It is 1,700 square feet, $159,000.
Oh, that's a
great
price.
I know, right?
It has a built-in front porch where you can see the beautiful park that it looks towards.
We have a dog park.
We have parks and playgrounds.
We have walking trails.
We have events for all of our residents.
And we have a food pantry.
We share the responsibility with Hay Cap here in Cedar Rapids.
And we have, oh, hundreds of our residents and non-residents that come and take advantage of our food pantry, especially this time of year.
You know, what kind of items are you looking for right now at your food pantry?
You know, obviously probably the holiday specials, the mashed potatoes and stuffing, those types of items.
But is there anything in particular that you really need right now from the folks?
We get supplied by Hay Cap and they, of course, need everything.
donations this time of year normally pretty good but after the Christmas holiday they drop off dramatically so please everybody keep that in mind but what we've seen a big demand for this week is like you said the holiday stuff mashed potatoes cranberry sauce sweet cans of sweet potatoes and we also got a wonderful donation of some fresh chickens
And can I tell you a story about this first chicken?
Please do, Barbara Hames Bryant.
All right.
I got an email today from our residents, Tom and Cheryl, and they had come into the food pantry this week to grab some staples and grabbed one of the chickens.
And they went home yesterday morning to make their Thanksgiving meal.
And they had a turkey breast, but they opened it up and realized that it was spoiled.
so they couldn't use it and of course all the stores are closed on Thanksgiving Day.
So they have the Haynes chicken.
They call it their turkey for Thanksgiving along with all the traditional sides and we got the nicest note from them saying how much they appreciate us and they're thankful for us.
That's awesome.
That's that's standing in the gap there and helping out on a moment's notice the thing that that gives me great cheer about what you're doing is Okay, we're in a bit of a tough economy, but Barbara I've always said that every economic blip is is it room for tremendous opportunity and
You know, I've got some young kids right now that are thinking about their first home.
They've been college kids forever living in apartments.
And you know, Barbara, interest rates are increasing, but good financing is still available for manufactured homes.
That's absolutely right.
Finance rates are increasing on site-built homes, but they remain steady for manufactured homes.
So our interest rates right now are
around five, six, seven percent.
That's about the same as the site bill
hall.
Yeah, yeah.
We're very excited about that.
Now tell your young couple or your youngsters, I feel old, that are starting out that a manufactured home is a great investment.
They do not depreciate like people say they do.
They actually do appreciate in value.
In fact, over the past five years, they've appreciated in value more.
Insight Build homes and wouldn't it be great to be 20 years old and buy a manufactured home and by the time you're 30 you own it?
Absolutely.
We
have very short term rates.
I mean very short term 10 years is very typical and so how would you like to say I'm 30 and I own my home?
It's what you call building a balance sheet and building equity and building credit scores and credit ratings and these are comfortable beautiful
valuable homes in very safe communities are very attractive and you know what I like is uh as I mentioned before Scotty uh we're somewhat neighbors of yours and we're in uh let's say rather draconian condominium association that's not terribly pet friendly and here barbers got all these ancillaries they've got these communities they've got the pantry they've got dog parks they've got recreation this builds
safety and security in community.
This is Iowa nice, we talk about the city of five seasons, Cedar Rapids.
You know, that's
a great point, Barbara.
You basically have a small town, but with large city amenities.
And so that's kind of one of those nice selling points too for folks that are maybe even graduating from the University of Iowa here in the next month or so, but maybe the spring as well, where they can actually have the small town feel, but the large city amenities.
That's right.
Housing Choice is a great choice for folks in their 20s, just starting out, young families, couples, singles.
We have a home for every season of life, we say, from starting out until retirement.
These homes are just
a perfect option for everybody.
You know, now that since you are in Eastern Iowa, Barbara, and this is the Iowa, Nebraska weekend, is it true that you actually vet those Husker fans a little bit harder than anybody else?
You know, the Husker fans have understood that they're at a disadvantage anyway, so we usually don't even see them.
I love it.
I love it.
We love our Barbara.
Don't we?
Working.
If they want to go online and maybe take a tour of the
homes that you have available or do some research work and they find you.
www.hameshomes.com.
That's H-A-M-E-S H-O-M-E-S dot com.
Or our sales center is at the corner of Wilson Avenue and West Post Road, Southwest and Cedar Rapids.
And we're open seven days a week, of course, except for major holidays.
Barbara, I still have in my mind firmly planted from my youth the visage of your great father,
essentially a jaw of steel, you know, and standing tall like a block of granite, he and your mom, great patriots, that both of them were bestriding that industry like a colossus during their lifetimes, and you now pick up that mantle as matriarch, and are doing beautifully, Barbara Hames Bryant.
We do salute you and your family for this ongoing excellence.
You're welcome, John, and I really love talking to you.
You always make me feel so good.
We work day in and day out, and it's always nice to hear the compliments.
Well, we just need you.
I know you're heading up the entire state of Iowa's GOP women's group.
You know, we've got one woman governor.
It'd be nice, and one woman senator.
We've got to have replacements for them down the line, and you're still pretty young, Barbara.
Thanks, John.
No
thanks.
Barbara Hames Bryant, guys.
Get over there and do some Christmas shopping.
Tis the season.

Thanks to Bruce Crawford today for those great tips on Christmas and Hanukkah movies.
Iowa Hawkeye Sports is going to continue to dominate conversations.
An excellent basketball season looks to be on the brink.
But boy, after that bitter pill yesterday, that bitter pill of that stunning loss to Nebraska with just bereft of any offense yet again, there's going to be a lot of soul searching that needs to be done for Iowa.
the team seemed flat and definitely outcoached by Mickey Joseph and Mark Whipple and again I think we need to make some overhauls on offense both at the coordinator position the athletic director possibly and certainly in the quarterback portals much food for thought but in the meantime be of great Christmas cheer four weeks from this weekend
We'll be back next Saturday till then be safe, be smart, be good, be strong.
Love Jesus Christ and God bless us everyone.
