Three, two, one,
go!
not only in the nation, but in the world with hyperbaric curative therapy and glutathione precursors.
Dr. Fogarty, guys, he was saving all of his patients during COVID.
They weren't even going to the hospital.
He had the protocol and he is one of those champions of medical freedom.
He's been on the show frequently with our cohorts, Dr. David Hartclutch and Joe Casserino.
Ted, can you give us an update right in the thick of things here?
in election season, a 90-day sprint, the medical freedom issue, even Clay and Buck say they are terrified of a redo of COVID.
They want accountability for the COVID debacle under the Biden administration.
Ted, are you optimistic that we're going to make progress this cycle?
Well, yes and no.
if the uh... continued fraudulent activities of certain politicals with the uh... world health organization bill gates and the current administration uh... continue uh... i think we're we're in for a another bad run here uh... you know uh... bobby kennedy junior personal friend of mine and i'm the elector for him should he win any of the uh...
any
of the precinct out of the third congressional district of nebraska he's he's a prime example of
of just how malignant our entire political and social apparatus is towards people getting the truth out about the bio-weaponry, bio-weapon-nearing that's going on, and you know, I've been working with the Kennedy campaign, but also, you know, Bobby Kennedy's got a huge network of some of the top scientists and physicians and attorneys around the country, and just look at the medical freedom, freedom of speech suppression that's going on here.
You and Bobby were right at every step of the game here, as were we in the Iowa legislature, that minor band of us that were correct at every turn.
And we see the Harris administration doubling down with the choice of Tim Walls probably could not have been a worse medical freedom vice presidential candidate.
on planet earth and tim walle bitterly disappointed that's all over the well you know he is from nebraska
originally he has he's from nebraska he had some time uh... in the on the whole family homestead uh... pawns up in butte nebraska and uh... i went to high school with one of his cousins down at all mall central and uh... yeah there's some serious issues with uh... with uh...
an unelected, you know, I mean, look at Harris' career.
I mean, she never got any votes in the primary for the Democrats,
and
now she sends through this, as Trump said, even the last several days.
It
was
Joe Biden's decision to make, and there's nothing democratic or constitutional about what's going on in the Democratic Party.
Absolutely
true.
Yeah, it's
hauntingly.
Harris at the top, and then, you know...
Walt's has got a lot of problems.
I think a lot of people are freaking that out right now.
Well, part of the problem with Tim Walz is that when his wife says she loves the smell of burning tires during the Twin Cities riots and when his daughter allegedly tips off BLM that her dad's not going to deploy the guard, these are all terribly problematic at the same time that Kamala is helping with the get out of jail efforts for those that were.
uh... burning and looting the twin cities obviously if public safety of the concern uh... harris the walls are very problematic
if you if you look at this uh... going back into uh... my history in north dakota and in the uh... and during the pandemic and i started getting together with uh... uh... doctor scott jenton who was uh... minnesota senator at that time and and and and now let's let's look forward to the kind of
Skull Duggery that happened with Scott Jensen, Dr. Scott Jensen running for governor of Minnesota, who nearly won if there weren't some third party candidates drawn off of there.
And then, you know, there's probably some corrupt ballot, you know, racketeering in the ballots and that kind of stuff.
But Scott Jensen was pursued by the Minnesota attorney general.
His license was threatened every single month of his gubernatorial campaign.
And you just look at how crooked these people are.
I mean, here's a guy, here's a Minnesota doctor who saved more lives than any of those folks in the grid basically bowing down to Tony Fauci's mandates of Remdesivir and waiting around for these vaccines when we have the North Dakota care that grant hyperbaric and glutathione amino acid precursor systems.
And I'm telling you, John,
Spiralina, everybody listening to me, please go out and stock up on Spiralina.
It is mother nature, God's best, greatest supplement, and people around the world in ICU's are being given Spiralina.
At Tehran University, there was a study on ICU patients who got high dose Spiralina, and it kept them alive in the ICU's.
50 people on each arm of this study, standard of care, without spirulina, they lost 15% of those ICU patients.
The other 50 people in this study, nobody died.
Everybody walked out of ICU.
And that was published in Frontiers in Immunology a month before my most recent publication with Dr. Hartstown at LSU
on
reversing dementia in the family home.
And those very protocols that I reversed dementia with in the family home in Colorado.
got wound into the North Dakota CARES Act protocols for not just this last pandemic, all pandemics, because that's the truth of the matter.
There's no virus that can handle hyperbaric oxygen, and no virus can replicate itself in a high-glutathione intracellular environment, and that's exactly what Dr. Crum taught me and put me in the central hall of fame for.
right on top of Henry Fonda, because it's alphabetical.
But yeah, you know, you look at this whole Minnesota debacle with Scott Jensen, and you look at, you know, how much corruption there is in the Democratic Party.
I just don't see how anyone in Iowa are listening to the sounds of our voices can fathom voting for these two.
I agree with you.
We're here with a great Dr. Ted Fogarty.
I think he's America's premier physician of curative medicine, winner of the CARES.
Grant, a pioneer in hyperbaric therapy as well as lutefion precursors.
You're listening to them on America's original blowtorch KXEL 1540.
Charming to all the big 10 states.
Guys, football just a couple weeks away.
College football.
Dr. Ted Foley, talk about we got two minutes left.
Proimmune formulation 200.
Yeah, so my dear mentor, Dr. Albert B. Crum, class of 49, Omaha Central, who's still the medical advisor to the Dalai Lama, and the Dalai Lama takes proimmune, too.
He went on this mission after he finished being one of the top forensic psychiatrists for our nation at the turn of the century.
He went on this mission to develop this product, proimmune immune formulation 200, which you can get at thebestimmunesupport.com.
and yet he has he had gone through the the greatest intellectual property legal teams in the country and gotten patents all over the world for all sorts of various indications uh... uh... uh... for good but i don't i mean a lot of sublimation but the most important in the pandemic era is that on february nineteenth of twenty twenty he got patent rights and claims out of canada
for the anti-viral nature of his product, bromunium reformulation 200, and it's every RNA pandemic virus listed in the book.
And that's all in those patents in Canada.
And I took all those patents and brought them into the North Dakota State House and showed them to the ag commissioner up in North Dakota.
And I said, look, this stuff.
is all-natural, it's just three amino acids, it's a trinity of amino acids that form glutathione, and we can put this together with beetroot powder and some spirulina, and we can go out and save lives and take some money out of that CARES Act fund, though I was in competition with two major biotech companies based out of Fargo with ties to Germany for, and so yeah, it's the little $50,000 grant that could, and a big part of that grant was for communications, which God bless you, John Jacobson.
It is your low torch that has saved more lives off of the KXEL 1540 towers than anybody else through just hearing the words of the tragedy of these amino acids.
And
it's just phenomenal when you think about it.
And there's literally, we've got our stalwart, Dr. Hartzuch, former Iowa Senator, ran for Congress in District 1.
He has taken all of this stuff that I've taught him and he is running it to the ninth and doing some of the most incredible and creative work with his patients and hyperbaric air therapy and We've just we've got something that is going to be in the future look back upon as the answer the
literal answer to the
amplification of all all good things in medicine
and help through naturopathic processes, and that's just how it all works.
It's basically mitochondrial medicine as applied to physics and immunology.
As we build this network, you'll see the great Dr. Edward Fogarty, who's on fire today as he's often on fire on KFYR up north, as we are caroming across all the big 10 states here on KXPL.
I am physically at KOFO as we continue to build out this network of saving lives to these wonderful physicians of conscience.
I'm at KOFO in the excerpts of Kansas City.
We're doing the Royals and Jeff Stein is thrilled that we're all coordinating together.
Ted Fogarty, you are a hero.
So is the tip of the hat to David Harcich, who we've had on the show so much.
David is a brilliant diagnostician in his own right.
He's got a big lawsuit that we're hoping for some good.
I'm going to give you the last word here with our 15 minutes with Dr. Edward Fogarty, Omaha native, Omaha Central High Hall of Fame.
I was at that induction.
It was an epic evening.
Give us just a quick portend of what HeartSuch is doing.
And do you think we might be shaking things up in the
American legal system with a case here that the Iowa Supreme Court's looking at, Dr. Fogarty.
Yeah, so Dr. Hart, such as suing both the Iowa Board of Medicine and the Iowa Board of Pharmacy, he's been through the lower courts and now it's gotten into the Iowa Supreme Court realm, and he has these airtight arguments that I don't think any judge worth their soul can look at and turn their eye away from.
But basically, the Iowa Board of Medicine colluded with the Iowa Board of Pharmacy to restrict the free speech rights of all Iowa citizens.
And this is also, I'm sure, has happened in Kansas and some other states, too.
Dr. Forty, you did some interesting analytics with Dr. Hartzich.
Nebraska encouraged physicians.
to do what it took to cure during COVID.
And lives were saved in Nebraska.
I'll give you the final word as we do the outro here.
Yeah, Hartzler and I looked at the numbers through 2021.
And there's 2,600 more deaths in Iowa, a fairly similar demographic between the two states than what we had in Nebraska.
And
we're
talking that up to the freedom of practice that was basically affirmed by the Nebraska Attorney General at the time, Doug Peterson.
having a forty four page brief stating that it is perfectly ethical under the hypocritical for nebraska fishes positions to be writing prescriptions for evermectin and hydroxychloroquine and the and literally the month that that came out i started writing prescriptions to iowa legislators and uh... attorneys
and
uh... as many folks in iowa that i could from out of the mom off friendly pharmacies and ship ship the uh... so-called uh... rogue horse-faced
across state lines to save lives.
By the way, if we do get into another crisis here, everybody in rural counties in America, if you've got the horse base, I've actually used this clinically and it's actually worked a little better than the oral ivermectin.
Take a whole tube of horse base and rub it on the loved ones back if they have COVID or another pandemic infection in their lungs.
And it
literally works overnight, along with the spirulina and the proimmune.
Amazing, ladies and gentlemen, amazing.
Dr. Edward Fogarty cares award grant winner, one of the heroic doctors of conscience.
Dr. Senator Price, a great run with you here this morning.
We will be back with you again next week as we're going to start to hit this hard with this 90-day sprint left in the election cycle.
Dr. Edward Fogarty, ladies and gentlemen, MD, always great to be with you, Doc.
Safe travels.
We will talk to you in a week, my friend.
Sounds great, John.
God bless you.
and also listen to Doc on K-Fire up North and the Dakotas and KOFO coming soon.
Kansas City, watch out Missouri, watch out Kansas.
Dr. Ted Fogarty is on the way.
Oh, KXEL Land.
I'm so excited today.
It's a glorious summer day in Iowa.
We're on North America's one and only 1540 AM.
Caraming through all the big 10 states on the AM signal and going internationally on our podcast, kxel.com slash Jacobson.
The Danish Viking S-E-N variety of spelling there.
We have welcome back the crowd on their feet.
We have this great cameo coming back from the legendary Barbara.
Haymes, daughter of my growing up heroes, Kurt and Norma Haymes in this beautiful enterprise.
Haymes homes out of Cedar Rapids, Iowa Haymes, the homes people.
Guys, they are everything great about the American experiment of free market, enterprise, economics undergirded by Christian values of business ethics and virtue.
Safe, affordable, lovely, beautiful homes.
Barbara, welcome back to this show.
We love having Curtis on and Clint periodically, but it's so great that you come back periodically.
If only Johnny Carson had done that a little more often, I'd still be watching late night television.
Well, hello to you.
You too, John Jacobson.
And it's not important to me that you compare me to Johnny Carson.
We'll just leave that for another day.
You know, my mom is still, God love her.
She is still alive and kicking.
She's soon going to be celebrating her 88th birthday, this August 10th.
We're coming out and I want to stop by and see you guys at your beautiful office in your two beautiful communities there.
I love the way you honor the memory of your parents.
by flying, not just old glory, but our Iowa flag, our liberties reprised, our rights we will maintain, and the POWMIA flag.
Your parents were great patriots and you continue that patriotic tradition because it aims homes.
You're doing so much for the community.
You've won the Corridor Award.
You guys have food pantries and Frisbee parks and dog parks and tornado shelters for your people, although your homes hold up better than
And regular homes did during the derecho.
You have security vetting to make sure that people who come into your communities are good citizens.
Barbara, you guys do everything well and that wonderful website, hamshomes.com is a treasure trove of information.
And you've written a great article that's just come out.
How is a hams home better than an apartment?
I've always wondered that.
Barbara, I always think a home is better than a small apartment.
Home ownership is always a value, but for people that might be flirting with, well, they don't know where the economy is.
Well, don't know where interest rates are going.
Why are you guys still better than short-term apartment renting?
Oh, I'm so glad you asked that, John.
There are dozens of reasons why a manufactured home is better than an apartment.
seeing that the Haynes community's grand view and summit view and Southwest Cedar Rapids, people own their homes and lease the land.
Exactly.
So when they are paying for their home, they are actually building up equity in their home.
And contrary to popular belief, manufactured homes do not depreciate.
In fact,
In the past five years, they have appreciated more than site-built homes.
So
that's equity on steroids is what you're telling
us.
Right.
You can go to liveability.com and confirm that.
People here enjoy living separately.
They have their own little yard.
There's no one living above them.
No shared walls.
They have their own parking space.
They're not in a big parking lot with other people.
It's really a community and people get along so many amenities.
Like you said, we have a dog park, we have parks and playgrounds, we have emergency storm shelters, we have community events.
This is one of the best kept secrets in Cedar Rapids.
Barbara, it is, and I love what you said, because Deb and I for a while, no longer, but for a while we were in the condo community, and here's the thing, you're right, it's your home.
I couldn't plan a garden, it was community property.
I couldn't paint the walls without permission.
You know, not just the equity buildup, but like you said, you're not sharing walls with your neighbors like we were.
You can have your own driveway.
We didn't have our own driveway, it was communal.
driveway work.
Heck, you can even have a garage on the lot that you lease.
I see garages all through your two Summit Grandview neighborhoods, Barbara.
Yes, most of our home sites are big enough for an optional one or two car garage.
A lot of folks take us up on that option.
They build those.
and it increases the value of their homes.
So when they go to resell it, their home is worth more.
There's just so many advantages over apartment living.
We're so proud of our communities and we want people to come to our website.
HamesHomes.com and see our beautiful inventory of homes for sale.
We don't rent homes.
All of our homes here are owner occupied.
but we do have great financing options available and we'd love to talk to some new home buyers about that.
That's the key guys.
When some of these banks are getting a little skittish and flinching on loans, you guys are doubling down and making it affordable for financing.
And I love your whole mojo, the modus operandi of how you do it because Deb and I now in our sixties, you know, in our home out hundreds of miles west of you, we're
All on one floor because of our age, because of the water table, we don't have a basement with concrete foundation issues and flooding.
We've got all the living space on one level.
That's exactly the trifecta of what you guys have going on there in your two communities.
It's a great situation for families of all ages.
Everyone from newlyweds starting out to families with kids, multi-generational families, and especially our empty nesters, love the fact that the home
home is all on one floor and there's no basement to flood.
Guys, I'll tell you, I've been out there.
I've been out there in the sweet springtime with all those yards, flowers, shrubs and trees.
I do believe that the birds sing more sweetly in the Hames community and the sun shines even more brightly Barbara Hames.
Well, we are sure about that too.
And we hope folks will come and visit us and see that for themselves.
We're at the corner of Wilson Avenue and West Post Road, Southwest and Cedar Rapids.
Wilson Avenue, West Post Road, Haynes Home Sales Office is open seven days a week to view our beautiful model home.
What a shot in the arm of adrenaline on this beautiful Saturday in eastern Iowa.
The lovely and gracious Zarina of Iowa business, Barbara Haynes.
Barbara, delightful to be with you.
We'll talk to you again soon and we'll see you as I head out to celebrate mom's double eights.
Looking forward to it, John.
Have a great day.
You too.
Barbara Hames, ladies and gentlemen, proud show sponsor.
We're so grateful for them and all they do for our community.
Oh, I'm back with my favorite Democrat, my brother from another mother, the great Pete McRoberts, sage, wisdom, consultant par excellence for democratic leadership across these United States from the White House to
the Iowa County Courthouse.
Pete, great to have you back on the show.
Good day, John.
How you doing?
It's a beautiful Saturday.
We're only a few Saturdays away from college football again here on Karamine KXEL 1540, going to all the big 10 states.
And of course, we're the home and away voice for the UNI Panthers, but also tracking the Iowa Hawkeyes closely as we are embedded there with all the great Iowa City.
Tiffin, North Liberty, Curleville, Cedar Rapids, Marion, Hiawatha, Robbins, Waterloo, Cedar Falls, Dubuque, Clinton, Quad Cities, Anamosa, Monticello, Charles City, everywhere in eastern Iowa.
Here, America's original 50,000 watt KXEL.
Pete, Electoral College Scoreboard.
This is kind of like the old prudential
a football college scoreboard with Dave Diles, but instead we've got Pete and Jake here today.
Pete, here's where I am right now.
If the election were held today in the Electoral College, I say it would be Harris Walls at 270, Trump Vance at 268, with that Nebraska Second District, which is allocated Nebraska-like Maine, our neighbor there, awards by Congressional District,
a slight edge with Bacon a little bit behind Vargas and the Democrats tilting their in Omaha, otherwise an electoral college tie that would bring to the House of Representatives with a state-by-state delegation.
And then, of course, I would give the tiebreaker to Trump Vance based on the current congressional representation as each state will have one vote.
But that is not the case.
I see it at 270
to 268.
Now, I know you're going to gain same here a little bit, Pete, but right now I see Trump advance picking up North Carolina and Georgia and Arizona and Nevada.
And I believe, based on that, with retaining the rest of the states that were held last time, that that gets Trump advance to 268, but not to 270.
I still see a
an iron wall up there in Big Ten country.
I still give Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan at this juncture.
I want to be prudent at this juncture.
I still give those slight edge to Harris and Walls, but I do see this as an incredibly tight race again in West really a 50-50 country.
Pete, what say you?
Gain, say me, my friend.
I think
there's a lot of truth there.
Looking at the trajectory,
which I do.
And so for full disclosure, I'm using the same methodology here that I have used since the first time we talked about this, whether I liked it or not.
So I promised I'm not cherry picking any data.
I think it's important to look at the trajectory over the last two weeks.
And if you want to go back a little further to the GOP convention, whether you like the methodology or how a certain poll does, if you look at those same polls day after day, you can see the trend lines.
And even, for example, as of this morning,
Trump is at 45.8 in Georgia.
Harris is at 45.2.
Nevada is an actual tie.
These numbers have been moving really, really predictably in the Harris Walls direction, even before her selection of the running mate.
So I can't agree with you about the Omaha seed.
I think that that stays blue.
Last time we were on,
It was a different set of candidates.
My number at that time was 270, and I believe according to every number I've read this morning, it is 270 on the Dem side.
You and I are in agreement on the numbers right now, then.
That's 270 to 268.
Incredible.
Yep.
And I should say, I think a couple are too close to call, but those don't affect the 270.
I mean, so looking at, and I do this every morning, I look at the number, but the trend lines are such where if you look at those blue states, the blue wall, so to speak, you know, we're getting close to where she's either walking toward the outranges of the march of error, but the trajectory is where I'm going.
I saw, I think in Michigan,
She dropped a tenth of a point overnight, but we're around 1.7 close to two.
That's been consistent.
The thing that I do find interesting is that yesterday and today were the first favorable or unfavorable for walls.
Before that, nobody knew anything about him.
And he was plus 10 favorables yesterday and plus 11 today.
And I do think that that will have some, I guess I would say a calming effect on Michigan and Wisconsin.
Just based upon the nature of that campaign, VP picks don't change electoral votes generally, but they can make them easier.
And I think that the numbers of the last two days suggest that there's an open door for that.
So I think she's at 270 right now with North Carolina in play.
She tied
in Nevada.
You segueed exactly into where we want to roll here.
When we're talking about these battleground states, are there some that I haven't really put in the battleground territory that could be battleground territory?
Is Virginia potentially in play?
Is New Mexico potentially in play?
Is Texas potentially in play?
I mean, I'm trying to look at either or is that main congressional district?
Could that go red?
Is New Hampshire close?
The Dems obviously are, have they totally ruled out a battle in Ohio and Florida?
Or literally, are these two candidates going to camp out for the next 90 days in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin?
Well, I think most likely, yes.
But if there are going to, I mean, I'm looking at Florida numbers, excuse me, I'm sorry, Texas numbers.
And there haven't been any statewide data in Texas since late July.
Or mid-July.
I
think that's closer than people think.
Texas could go blue if the GOP gets complacent there.
Particularly with Colin Allred on the ticket as a statewide.
So the two days before Biden left the race, he was at 46 in Texas.
So watch that carefully.
There has not been any public polling since then.
And Ohio I think is probably a lost cause for the Dems, but there's two factors there.
You know, Sherrod Brown has a pretty
good infrastructure there.
So
I think
I've seen this happen.
If nothing else, the GOP is going to have to spend a ridiculous amount of money in Florida as well and Ohio and Texas that they're not going to be able to spend in Pennsylvania and Michigan and Wisconsin.
And that really is part of the game as well.
And Iowa was funny.
President Biden was here.
So I think maybe a week and a half before the election.
And of course that got that, that triggered eight visits from either Trump or Pence or one of the Trump family.
And of course, subsequently it turned out that people knew that Biden was down by 10, but he was also going from Chicago to Minneapolis.
It only cost him 90 seconds.
And it cost the other side eight principal visits.
So that's the
thing.
This is why we love Pete McRoberts for the inside scoop.
This is almost like military deployments and, and this is.
Strategery, as W would say, not just actual, but strategic.
Let's look at the Senate.
Guys like John Tester in Montana, do his prospects improve with the change out of Biden and Harris?
And Pete, where do you have the Senate right now?
Obviously, the Dems have to defend a lot of seats.
Do you see the Senate potentially tipping red, regardless of the presidential race?
Yeah, I do.
Chester is going to be close this morning.
He's down.
He's at 46.
So he's got a point from yesterday.
The other candidate was plus two this morning.
This is Emerson College that was in the field in the fifth.
So the Hill stuff runs a little red, but I've seen everything in the last couple of days.
I mean, it's kind of tight.
I mean, it's margin of error stuff.
And Tester is, I mean, as far as the Montana senator goes, who could win that race, Tester's right at a central casting.
But that's going to be tough.
Now, it's interesting.
The only campaign event that former President Trump has done in, really, of any substance here in the last week or so, was in Montana, which is an interesting thing.
And Brown is...
He's leading I think he's up about four in Ohio right now Let me look I've got the numbers in front of me, but remember Yeah, exactly four against Moreno who's a bad candidate and and remember, you know toward the toward the End of the Biden candidacy, you know Brown was was was the Leader he was he was above Biden by 12 in Ohio now again.
This is Fabrizio
Uh, so this is the 28th of July.
So this is a little bit
right?
So if you look at the polling, and I'm not a polling junkie, except here's the thing to check out.
This is Fabrizio, which is the Trump pollster and impact, which is Anzaloni, who was ours.
So
he was the Biden pollster.
So they did this for AARP.
And it's interesting.
I've actually done business with him.
And so when Fabrizio and Impax, which is John Anzaloni, are putting Brown at 46 and Moreno at 42, I actually do know that methodology quite well and I trust it.
So I think it's real.
But plus four in Ohio is a good spot for Brown to be.
Tester's down two.
Let's look at Nevada.
Jackie Rosen is running real hard and Nevada has changed quite a bit since the last time.
So she's up
three.
from a poll that was in the field a week ago.
The
Dems are coming from a position of weakness in the Senate, but it's not a complete bottoming out.
But yeah, these are tough.
And at the end of the day, my theory has always been the reason why this handful of Dems really went after Biden wasn't because they thought he was going to lose to Trump.
It was because they thought they were going to lose.
Um,
and, and
I mean that in the house and I mean that in the Senate.
So, uh, the, the, I think it's right to look at those, at those races, uh, but it, but it's going to be tight.
I mean, Sherrod Brown is, is about the best possible, can that about, he is the best possible dem to be running in Ohio and Ohio is not a swing state, but up for against the bad candidate.
Uh, yeah, that's, I'd rather be him than, than Mareno today.
Now we'll see what happens later.
Here with Pete McRoberts.
So, Pete, we're in a 50-50 country, really, and I argue we have been since the year 2000.
If you look at the, basically, the congressional voting and the presidential voting, America has not really been dislodged from essentially this 50-50 country for the last quarter of a century here.
Pete, is it possible that either party could win a trifecta in the national election in an incredibly close election?
That still someone could run the table and win all three Of the Senate the House and the White House and how do you think the US House of Representatives plays into this?
Right now the GOP has the narrowest of possible margins in the US House Literally a couple seats can make the difference there.
Where do you see this heading?
I mean we've seen yours with presidential victories I'll never forget Richard Nixon's narrow victory over Hubert Humphrey in 68
Zero coattails zero coattails whatsoever Nixon's 49 state sweep in 72 really no coattails there there are campaigns that have had coattail effects obviously but You know it's a 50 50 country How how does that work out if in a narrow situation here?
One party runs the table.
Do you foresee that happening or do you?
foresee some divided government that may, in a weird sense, keep us civil with each other, with half the country not feeling completely disenfranchised.
Would divided government perhaps be a good thing right now, given the climate we're in?
It
depends upon who the people are, right?
I
mean, and I'll be, I hope I'm not being too partisan here, but a divided government.
Oh, we love partisanship.
This
is free speech America here, baby.
Well, so look at the temperament of the people who could be in charge.
Look at the temperament, and that'll tell you what the country does.
People forget how influential nominees are, how influential national leaders are.
And so, sure, there's going to be people who just immediately go to the corners.
And George Bush was very statesman-like in her loss, wasn't she?
You might think that.
I couldn't possibly comment.
So Jim Justice is going to win West Virginia in all likelihood.
That makes the 50-50 Senate more likely.
So just imagine a case where it's a 50-50 Senate, Walz is the tiebreaker, and Harris is the president, or it's a 50-50 Senate in which Vance is the tiebreaker, and Trump is the president.
And those are two vastly different 50-50 scenarios.
I will say this, Pete, you've got to agree with me.
I think this race, we at least have an honest campaign of truly a progressive view of America versus a traditional conservative view.
I mean, these candidates definitely have different approaches to the economy, different approaches to foreign policy, different approaches to social issues.
I think in the past where sometimes these have blended together, you know, Clinton had his triangulation, Obama ran, you know, although they tried to tag him as an ultra aggressive.
If you look at him in retrospect, there was a lot of moderate governing there.
I think this choice this year to me is as stark as
Johnson and Goldwater, I think even Reagan and Mondale were closer to each other ideologically.
Tell me I'm wrong here.
I think there's a lot of truth there.
Where I split is I think that there's more of a home for a sliver of maybe even a slice, not just a sliver of traditional conservatives in the Dems this side around the distance between the Trump fans version of conservatism versus those names you mentioned, even the
Romney Ryan, Bush Cheney, the more recent ones, there's a pool of voters who will make their decision based upon things that may not be in their short-term interests, but they just simply cannot go back to this type of conservatism.
I think that's real.
You can see that by Kennedy's numbers and how they've shifted in the last three or four weeks.
So the contrast is absolutely there.
And that's where I would agree that the contrast, that piece looks a lot like Reagan-Mondale, looks a lot like Johnson Goldwater.
But I think where the alignments are is a little different.
And so this is the thing which happened in 20.
We talked a couple of weeks ago about what does this election look like more.
And my assessment then is it looked like 2016.
Uh, and, and I've changed my assessment based upon the change in candidates.
And I think that this looks more like 20 than, than, than 16 at this point.
And, and you can see that the Trump campaign trying to turn it into 20, but man, it's awful hard, uh, to, to call yourself the agent of change against the dem ticket when, when you're literally asking people to go back.
Here with I was super, uh, dem, although an independent minded, uh, he's trying to, we're like.
asymptotal to use the geometric term, because I'm kind of an ornery rebel Republican in my own right.
I claim my voice is the independent Curry Plainsman, but Pete, my final question to you is this.
Is the die cast, has everybody really made up their mind, is there even more than one percent of the people that possibly
are undecided and could sway right now.
And
is
this essentially just a turnout election?
Or are we in a situation?
I remember at this point in the summer, believe it or not, Reagan and Mondale were tied.
Jimmy Carter was up over Reagan by close to double digit points.
Trump in 2016 at this point in time was down seven and a half.
Is there any room for movement here or really?
My gut tells me to die is cast, and this is going to all come down to turnout.
What say you are?
It's
infrastructure and infrastructure and turnout.
Right now, in the last several weeks, the Harris campaign has raised almost half a billion dollars,
and that
pays for a lot of door hangers and a lot of door knockers.
The Trump campaign has not used the last couple of weeks.
Um, and, you know, they're gonna, but remember the demos of their own convention.
So I tend to agree with you.
I mean, there, there are some undecideds and anyone who says that they're independent at this point, 90% of independence vote for the same party, 90% of the time.
So, so the, the not aligned voter, uh, probably more aligned than, than maybe they, they would, would identify themselves as.
Um, and then, you know, right now there's 4%, which is down from nine generally.
who are voting Kennedy.
So I think it's close, but this is your chance to question when you've got movement and leads flipping, increment by increment, day by day over the last three weeks, you can see that that lead that Trump had was a weak lead.
And that's my question here.
You don't often see a pre-convention bounce for one of the parties, and you often see a post-convention bounce.
for the other one, and the GOP did not get that.
So I think that kind of proves your point that a lot of people are locked in, but the trajectory of the last three weeks, the trajectory, and since the weekend, the terrible events before the GOP convention, and afterward, you've watched people change their minds.
And that's an interesting thing to see.
So the situation is a little fluid, but by and large, I do agree with you.
So watch what the campaigns do, watch if they're using their candidates, see if the top of the ticket and the running mate are aligned.
I think nobody could argue that Trump and Vance are aligned or they're acting in concert at this point.
So that campaign has some fissures in it, which are becoming visible.
So I think that the answer is infrastructure, the answer is field.
And so this is where I'll leave it.
In those states, Pennsylvania's got a great Senate election for the Dems.
Robert Casey's on the ballot.
Michigan is looking good.
Jackie Rosen has a campaign in the ballot in Nevada.
So some of these places that Harris needs to win have really strong infrastructure in place, like that Omaha district.
So that main district.
That that
gets another electoral vote.
So the yeah, I know that I know that Omaha district Well, I think Don Bacon is in trouble there at the Republican comment.
I think general John Bacon's in trouble there looking at the yard signs I see Vargas signs cut all the way out to almost a hundredth Street in Omaha.
That's a lot of Square miles of city blocks there in that eastern and now piercing the central and almost Western Omaha there Paint McRoberts is going to continue on this wonderful 90-day
uh lightning voyage that we're going to have and next week we're going to zero in on the deep stage is the vice presidency worth more than a war and picture of spit and peak when i was a kid i didn't realize that spit was a euphemism that that wasn't the literal word used can you believe that i thought i
can't i i did
too and
it turns out cactus jack had a little more of a
vocabulary
than we knew
and also uh we're going to keep monitoring
The potential, they call it October surprise, but there's always intervening events.
Obviously, the Mideast, a powder keg, things going on in Bangladesh, still hot in Ukraine.
The markets have been volatile and events happen.
And of course, I'll never forget in 08, the mortgage crisis hit.
Pete, I knew that McCain was probably going to go down to the seat when he suspended his campaign.
During the mortgage crisis, I think if you're a leader, you roll up your sleeves.
I thought that was the death knell for the McCain campaign.
What say you?
Yeah, it was a bad decision.
And there's the saying by General Mattis just says, you know, you may think the war is over, but your opponent gets a vote too.
And for me to unilaterally stop and then return to DC while allowing.
The other candidate to be vital and to to really push and then to have the democratic infrastructure Just simply defer to Obama at that point.
I mean you remember that meeting in the White House
when it
was The president the congressional leaders and and of course it goes to Pelosi and she says we're deferring to Barak over here What say you and and it was just a devastating image to the McCain campaign bad bad.
Yeah It wasn't even a risk that they could get any reward from
Yeah, my low points in my GOP career were the nominations of Dole, Romney, and McCain.
Gotta tell you, those weren't the highlights
of my white-out Republican fandom.
I want Richard Nixon back and give me the Gipper, Ronald Reagan.
It's been a drought of late, but it's never a drought with Pete McRoberts because he's the font.
of data and information.
My brother from another mother, my favorite Democrat.
We're that next generation now, Pete.
Can you believe we're men of a certain age, as they say?
Well, it's better to get old than not to, John.
Exactly.
Exactly.
As I probably said, I'm in my seventh decade.
Pete, you're much younger than that, but you've got the sage.
When was your first campaign, Pete McRoberts?
What was your first campaign?
What year did you
volunteer
for the first campaign?
Wow, I was 72.
I've got to beat by a little bit.
You do,
but I'll tell
you, one of my first memories was running into Walter Mondale's Secret Service Detail in Minnesota.
And I thought, wow, these people are just gods.
And that's probably where I got the bug.
And I still work with them.
So
I'm
not those individuals, but with the Secret Service.
But I remember the hotel that I was in, when I was young, there was this detail, and I could tell that they were Secret Service or there was somebody.
And
so I just
went in there and I asked them, and so they showed me around.
And that was my first engagement with the Secret Service, and that's continued.
for more than 40 years.
Well, Pete, 50 years ago, literally this year, I took a bus with my friend Chris Riley from Marion, Iowa, into Cedar Rapids to do telephone work on election nights for the GOP candidates.
It was a bloodbath.
You remember, 74, the Watergate Whirlpool took down just about every single Republican in the country, but Bob Ray did win that night.
At least we can say we got Bob Ray reelected, but it was a brutal night.
And as you know, those early 70s, it was all John Colver Dick Clark.
It wasn't Dave Stanley.
And of course, that was quite the Democrat Congress in 74.
I'm still standing, Pete.
I know you are too.
Travel safely, my friend.
We will talk to you next week.
You know, I was just
going to say, John, if we do what we're supposed to do, there'll be another bomb ray and there'll be another John Colver, and that's our job.
That would be great.
That would be awesome, Pete McRoberts.
Pete McRoberts, studio audience on their seats.
He'll be back for this next week as we continue to chart our election prognostication.
Continuing our cavalcade of electoral politics this hot summer in Iowa, and I'm joined by two great heroic citizens of conscience who are helping to keep us healthy, who are helping us navigate
to the government debacle at both the federal and state levels, the mismanagement of COVID.
These two are piercing the veil with effective therapies.
Our heroic Dr. David Hartsich, the honorable former state senator, Dr. David Hartsich and Joseph Castorino, coming back out of retirement in New York to give us proimmune formulation 200 that I take twice a day and man has it.
helped me as I recuperate from detached retina surgery here.
Dr. Hart, just welcome back.
Big week in politics.
Terrible security lapse.
If not an inside job, certainly criminal negligence in the kill zone that was set up against President Trump there in Barton, Pennsylvania.
One of our friends, Bobby Kennedy, finally is receiving Secret Service protection.
only after the government was hectored by President Trump to provide him with that protection after the Trump assassination attempt.
That only missed by divine intervention.
Dr. Hartz just welcome back to show what's at you.
Oh, it's great.
It's great being here, John.
And hi, Joe.
I love that pro-immune.
It's a wonderful form of patience.
Thank you.
Yeah, I think that's that.
I think the big story here, I'm glad that RFK has gotten the Secret Service protection, but I really don't know what it's worth.
The real question is whether this lapse in security may have prompted the exit of Joe Biden from the presidential race.
Everybody thinks he's been in the hole, but the reality of it is he hasn't stopped being president.
He's known for a long time.
that age has not been his friend.
Dr. Hart, such Iowa went after the good guys, the Iowa Board of Medicine and Iowa Board of Pharmacy.
You have a lawsuit pending.
We need you to win that suit.
How do things look right now?
Well, I think there's a lot of similarity between the Attorney General's office and the testimony received on Ms.
Cheadle of the Secret Service to Congress.
What happened was, I was ordered by the Supreme Court to bring forward any non-confidential information, which would include all of the illegal acts of the Board of Medicine, which is what I did.
And as soon as I did that, all of a sudden, they replaced the counsel who was defending the Board of Medicine, the Board of Pharmacy.
and replace him with Patrick Valencia, who I haven't met.
He's the Solicitor General for the Iowa Department of Justice.
What's interesting is that I've made several attempts to try to introduce myself to Mr. Valencia, and all I get is air silence.
Doctor, we have elected politicians who are over at the RNC convention that we're partying like it was 1999, and yet their job is to govern the executive branch.
We just had the great state senator Sherilyn Westridge on who's been a champion for medical freedom, but is it time for some of our Iowa GOP to do their constitutional jobs or running their executive branch departments and running them well?
Absolutely.
I think that basically there's been an attack upon the public's right to know, and that's central to my case, that the public has the right to know when it's elected officials, when it's officials are engaged in illegal acts, when they are the victims.
Keep in mind, 2,600 people have died
because the Board of Medicine, the Board of Pharmacy, prevented early treatment for COVID.
And this is kind of a rough estimate.
There's no knowing exactly.
But the reality of it is that when you take large numbers of sick people, you prevent them from getting honest information from their doctor.
This is what happens.
People die.
And my view is that the Attorney General's office, I think, has more, has an obligation.
to investigate.
Here with Dr. David Hartzich, former Iowa State Senator, brilliant physician, one of these great physicians of conscience who was so effective during COVID.
Two things that Dr. Hartzich utilizes are glutathione precursors and hyperbaric therapy.
Joe Casserino, I love proimmune formulation 200.
My wife loves it.
We take it twice daily.
Joe Casarino, what is it about a glutathione precursor that beats anything else out there on the market to stay healthy and to keep our immune systems rolling?
including during
a very
difficult economy, despite what the media says, we're languishing in a brutal economy, and in a very volatile election year where our government can't even protect our media past presidents.
Well, I had a conversation about that just yesterday with Dr. Albert B. Crum, the Harvard Medical School graduate and scientist who discovered
of the Promune Immune Formulation 200, and the conversation was just that, and Dr. Crum taught me something new that I didn't know how to explain it this way, and this is a good explanation.
When you take the precursors of Promune Immune Formulation 200, the three amino acids
because they're all natural to the body, they penetrate the cell membrane, and once they are in the cell membrane, they are balancing out the electrons within the cell.
Once the cell electrons become balanced, then the cell reduces the oxidative stress that is inside the cell.
Oxidative stress is the root cause to every chronic illness.
It's epidemic today.
All these chronic illnesses of stemming
from over toxicity, lack of nutrition, lack of nutrients in our foods, and then the cell forms, oxidative stress, and the electrons become imbalanced by taking the promune Dr. Judy Mikovits, who was a guest on the Dr. Fogarty show, which I guested, I was the guest speaker or host of the show, Dr. Judy was my guest.
And what she said was, you do not make
You do not, excuse me, excuse me, let me get right.
You do not take glutathione.
Taking a glutathione pill doesn't work.
you make glutathione.
And the only way to do that is to get the precursors inside the cell.
So Dr. Judy Michaelbytes, therealdoctorjudi.com, she recommends promune, she sells promune, and she said on the radio, I'm not selling it because I'm trying to sell anything.
I'm trying to educate people that this is the best formula in the world, bond none, that mitigates the oxidative stress and the toxins that bring the cell back.
who self-help, and she said, I guess Dr. David Hartsuch would agree, there's really nothing else except hyperbaric oxygen therapy that does this.
You take out the oxidative stress directly inside the cell, and AC is not doing that, and glutathione pills and products are not doing that.
Would you agree, Dr. David Hartsuch?
I think it's a fair assessment.
It's important that we have precursors to glutathione in our system, otherwise that system can't be
taking out the deleterious effect of oxidants in our system.
That's correct.
And that's exactly what Proimmune does.
Yeah,
Dr. Hartz, Joe Castorino, gonna let you tell us how we can get Proimmune Formulation 200.
I can
get it
in the Omaha Metro at the no-name nutrition, but it can also be ordered by mail.
Talk to us about that.
When anyone that lives in Omaha, Nebraska area, please go to either location of no name nutrition, speak to Josh, speak to Brent.
These are the owners.
They're great people.
They will help you.
They've got the promune right by the cash register.
They recommend it to everybody.
If you do not live in Omaha, Nebraska, you want to get it at thebestimmunesupport.com.
You will love that website.
It is rich in education.
It is rich in peer-reviewed research.
is rich in information that you need to listen to, read, and let's get America healthy because we are facing an epidemic and children.
We're selling more jobs now to parents, the six packs that are buying it for the children because the children are all getting chronic diseases.
Now, as Dr. Hartschitz will attest, they're getting chronic illnesses because of the terrible diet.
full of saturated fats and sugars and no nutrition and chemicals and toxins.
There we have it.
Dr. Hart says we're going to give you the last word after Joseph Castorino.
This case of yours, when do you expect to hear something new?
We've got to win this thing.
Well, right now the Supreme Court has taken recess and they're going to come back with the next session probably around September 1st.
So I don't envision much happening during the summertime.
However, what I have done in this brief of mine should prompt the Attorney General's office to start an investigation of the individuals involved in the department who have engaged in criminal acts against doctors and patients.
And furthermore, I've raised the fact that perhaps certain pharmacies
may have, in essence, chosen to not sell prescriptions for Ivermectin because they receive money from the federal government.
And this prompts, should prompt investigation by the Attorney General's office into the validity of what I'm saying.
Hit the breaking news clacks and Mike Shane breaking news always on this show today.
