Transcript
- 0:04Speaker 1: It's 6 Eastern, 3 o'clock Pacific, from coast to coast
- 0:07Speaker 1: and around the world.
- 0:09Speaker 2: The Democratic brand right now has about the appeal with
- 0:12Speaker 2: the American voter as the Cracker Barrel rebrand has.
- 0:15Speaker 1: From America Out Loud Talk Radio, it's time for Truth
- 0:19Speaker 1: Be Told with Booker Scott.
- 0:21Speaker 3: President Donald Trump is in China to meet with Xi. Meanwhile,
- 0:25Speaker 3: the negotiation in Iran is going nowhere. And there were
- 0:29Speaker 3: some fireworks on Capitol Hill on Tuesday. I'm Booker. This
- 0:34Speaker 3: is The Truth Be Told. Thank you so much for
- 0:36Speaker 3: joining us tonight and every night. Or if you found
- 0:39Speaker 3: us later on the podcast, thank you very much for
- 0:41Speaker 3: doing that. It's great to have you. Before I get
- 0:44Speaker 3: into the meat of this first segment, I want to
- 0:47Speaker 3: talk about gerrymandering real quick because there have been some
- 0:51Speaker 3: developments with that. We know that Texas changed their maps.
- 0:55Speaker 3: Florida did. Tennessee followed Texas. Louisiana and Alabama are coming.
- 0:59Speaker 3: The Supreme Court made a decision this week that Alabama
- 1:02Speaker 3: could go forward with their gerrymandering attempt there in the
- 1:07Speaker 3: southern state. Now, to the east of there, in South Carolina,
- 1:11Speaker 3: they have decided on their own that they will not
- 1:14Speaker 3: South Carolina was another one of those states that said
- 1:17Speaker 3: they were going to gerrymander to pick up another Republican seat,
- 1:20Speaker 3: but they have now decided in their own assembly, General Assembly,
- 1:25Speaker 3: that they will not do that. They're not going to
- 1:27Speaker 3: take that vote. So it's unfortunate for Republicans there, but
- 1:31Speaker 3: the Democrats get a little win out of South Carolina.
- 1:34Speaker 3: That was one seat. In total, I believe the net
- 1:37Speaker 3: is going to be somewhere between seven and ten Republican
- 1:41Speaker 3: pickups from the gerrymander. But don't forget, that it is
- 1:44Speaker 3: a net because California, Illinois, those states had already gerrymandered
- 1:49Speaker 3: in the last year, in between the census. Typically, this
- 1:53Speaker 3: was done every 10 years. Now they're just going to
- 1:56Speaker 3: do it depending on who has power in the statehouse.
- 2:00Speaker 3: Another reason for you to get out and vote in
- 2:02Speaker 3: primaries and in general elections, because the statehouse is very important,
- 2:07Speaker 3: and you're seeing why when it comes to gerrymandering. Well,
- 2:11Speaker 3: President Donald Trump is in China right now. He is
- 2:14Speaker 3: meeting with President Xi of China. And the meeting marks
- 2:18Speaker 3: the first state visit to China since Donald Trump went
- 2:22Speaker 3: in 2017, almost 10 years ago. And between China and
- 2:27Speaker 3: America right now, there have been a lot of news stories.
- 2:31Speaker 3: You have everything going on from the tariffs and the trade.
- 2:34Speaker 3: all of that going on. And that's going to be
- 2:37Speaker 3: a big subject here that Donald Trump is going to
- 2:39Speaker 3: take on with Xi as they both look to come
- 2:43Speaker 3: to some sort of agreement on trade. By the way,
- 2:47Speaker 3: the inflation report came out and it was high. It
- 2:51Speaker 3: was 3.8%. And prior to the Iranian war, it had
- 2:55Speaker 3: been at about 1.7%. 3.8 is high. And that is
- 2:59Speaker 3: a result of the higher gas prices. When those prices
- 3:02Speaker 3: go up, Diesel goes up. Everything that we buy in
- 3:05Speaker 3: stores is going to have to go up because of
- 3:08Speaker 3: that price increase. So we're starting to feel that. And
- 3:12Speaker 3: that's another reason why Donald Trump has to figure out
- 3:14Speaker 3: a way to end this Iranian war. We'll get to
- 3:16Speaker 3: that here in a few minutes. But before we do,
- 3:20Speaker 3: let's stay here in China and some things they're going
- 3:22Speaker 3: to talk about. They're going to talk about Taiwan and
- 3:25Speaker 3: whether China will reunify, as they call it. They say
- 3:29Speaker 3: we're going to reunify with Taiwan. If you remember, it
- 3:32Speaker 3: was Xi that told that directly to President Joe Biden
- 3:36Speaker 3: back in February of 2024, that we will reunify with Taiwan.
- 3:42Speaker 3: And I really thought that it would have come already.
- 3:44Speaker 3: I thought that they were going to attempt that back
- 3:47Speaker 3: in 2021, 22, when Joe Biden first came into office.
- 3:52Speaker 3: It didn't happen then, and now who knows whether that
- 3:55Speaker 3: will happen. Taiwan is very important because of semiconductors that
- 3:59Speaker 3: are needed for artificial intelligence and other technology in this
- 4:04Speaker 3: 21st century arms race. Other things that Xi and Trump
- 4:08Speaker 3: are going to discuss... Is America in this Iranian war?
- 4:13Speaker 3: China and Iran have shared a close economic, strategic, diplomatic,
- 4:17Speaker 3: and security relationship. And Secretary of State Marco Rubio told
- 4:21Speaker 3: reporters last week that he hoped China would persuade Iran
- 4:26Speaker 3: to ease up on the straightforward moves. Quote, he said, quote,
- 4:30Speaker 3: I hope the Chinese tell them what he needs to
- 4:33Speaker 3: be told, Rubio said during a White House briefing referring
- 4:36Speaker 3: to Iranian foreign minister Arachi. Quote, is that what you
- 4:41Speaker 3: are doing in the Strait is causing you to be
- 4:43Speaker 3: globally isolated. You're the bad guy in this, unquote. China,
- 4:49Speaker 3: the largest buyer of Iranian oil, they've been hit pretty
- 4:52Speaker 3: hard because of the Strait of Hormuz being closed. America
- 4:56Speaker 3: is not really affected. We have our own oil. China
- 4:58Speaker 3: needs a lot of it. Trump also said in an
- 5:01Speaker 3: Oval Office meeting on Monday that Iran told him that
- 5:05Speaker 3: only the U.S. and China were capable of retrieving Iran's uranium.
- 5:10Speaker 3: And that is the important part, the sticking part of
- 5:13Speaker 3: all the negotiations going on in Iran. And that is
- 5:17Speaker 3: being done by the mediator of that, which is the
- 5:20Speaker 3: country of Pakistan. I mentioned some fireworks on Capitol Hill.
- 5:24Speaker 3: South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham was there questioning Pete Hegseth
- 5:29Speaker 3: and also General Raising Kane, Dan Kane, General Dan Kane
- 5:34Speaker 3: on Tuesday. Here's a little bit of that. Pakistan.
- 5:39Speaker 4: Are you aware of reports that Pakistan are allowing their
- 5:43Speaker 4: bases to be used to park Iranian aircraft, General Kane?
- 5:50Speaker 3: Sir, I've seen one report on that. Was it accurate? Sir,
- 5:56Speaker 3: I think based on the variety of classification matters.
- 6:01Speaker 4: Let me just say, do you agree if it is accurate,
- 6:03Speaker 4: that is sort of inconsistent with being a peace mediator?
- 6:06Speaker 5: Sir, I wouldn't want to comment on that based on
- 6:08Speaker 5: the ongoing negotiations.
- 6:11Speaker 3: Based on the ongoing negotiations, which are going to go nowhere.
- 6:14Speaker 3: the hard lines in the sand here, the Iranians say
- 6:18Speaker 3: we're never giving up our right. They call it a
- 6:20Speaker 3: right to make nuclear weapons and enrich uranium. On the
- 6:24Speaker 3: other hand, president Donald Trump says, we're not going to
- 6:27Speaker 3: do anything until you get rid of all of that capability.
- 6:31Speaker 3: We get your uranium and it's no, it's not going
- 6:35Speaker 3: to go anywhere. It doesn't really matter who mediates. And
- 6:38Speaker 3: really Lindsey Graham is a war hawk. He is trying to, uh,
- 6:42Speaker 3: He's trying to create the war again. He's trying to
- 6:45Speaker 3: get Donald Trump to drop bombs on Iran. And really,
- 6:48Speaker 3: Donald Trump is looking for a way out of this himself.
- 6:52Speaker 3: As I mentioned, the inflation is up. Gas prices are
- 6:55Speaker 3: way up. None of that is going to help a midterm,
- 6:57Speaker 3: and it's not helping the American people. And I really
- 7:00Speaker 3: believe that Donald Trump wants to try to end this.
- 7:04Speaker 3: He wants it to end. He's just looking for a
- 7:06Speaker 3: way to do that. Here's a little more from Senator
- 7:08Speaker 3: Lindsey Graham, this time with Pete Hexeth.
- 7:11Speaker 4: Secretary Hexeth. If the mediator is allowing reconnaissance aircraft in
- 7:17Speaker 4: Iran to be parked in Pakistani airbases, do you think
- 7:21Speaker 4: that's consistent with being a fair mediator?
- 7:25Speaker 1: Again, I wouldn't want to get in the middle of
- 7:27Speaker 1: these negotiations. Well, I do.
- 7:29Speaker 4: I want to get in the middle of these negotiations.
- 7:31Speaker 3: Of course he does.
- 7:32Speaker 4: I don't trust Pakistan as far as I can throw them.
- 7:35Speaker 4: If they actually do have Iranian aircraft parked in Pakistan
- 7:41Speaker 4: bases to protect Iranian military assets, that tells me we
- 7:45Speaker 4: should be looking maybe for somebody else to mediate.
- 7:48Speaker 3: Okay, who would you suggest, Lindsey Graham, who would you
- 7:51Speaker 3: suggest mediate for this peace deal that is going nowhere?
- 7:55Speaker 3: Is Donald Trump going to have to start blowing them
- 7:58Speaker 3: up and wiping them off the face of the earth,
- 8:00Speaker 3: as he said? Or is there some other way that
- 8:02Speaker 3: America can get out of what is going on in Iran?
- 8:06Speaker 3: What about Kash Patel? He's the director of the FBI.
- 8:08Speaker 3: He was on Capitol Hill. He was facing questioning about
- 8:12Speaker 3: his history of drinking, of drinking. There was a story
- 8:16Speaker 3: in The Atlantic, I don't know, a month and a
- 8:18Speaker 3: half ago. about Cash Patel drinking too much, drinking on
- 8:23Speaker 3: the job, falling asleep. People can't find him. And it
- 8:26Speaker 3: was discredited pretty quickly. But Senator Van Hollen of Maryland,
- 8:31Speaker 3: he brought up that line of questioning. And just to
- 8:33Speaker 3: remind you who this senator is, he is the senator
- 8:36Speaker 3: that had margaritas. with the Maryland dad, Abrego Garcia, the
- 8:43Speaker 3: Maryland dad that was deported. And then everybody in the
- 8:46Speaker 3: country went nuts about Abrego Garcia. By the way, have
- 8:49Speaker 3: you heard anything about him lately? And that's the way
- 8:52Speaker 3: politics works. Everybody gets blown up about something right now,
- 8:56Speaker 3: and then you never hear about it again. And who
- 8:58Speaker 3: knows what happened to the story or if anything was
- 9:01Speaker 3: actually resolved. Was there a solution to the problem? But
- 9:06Speaker 3: here we go with Senator Van Hollen of Maryland.
- 9:09Speaker 6: Multiple reports, including reporting by The Atlantic, have alleged episodes
- 9:14Speaker 6: of excessive drinking.
- 9:16Speaker 3: And by the way, this Atlantic report, as he says,
- 9:18Speaker 3: multiple reports, that just means that the one source for
- 9:22Speaker 3: this story was The Atlantic. End of story. Period. End
- 9:27Speaker 3: of it. Now, other sources picked up The Atlantic story
- 9:31Speaker 3: and reported what The Atlantic reported. There are multiple sources
- 9:35Speaker 3: of this It came from one piece, and that was
- 9:37Speaker 3: a hit piece in the Atlantic.
- 9:39Speaker 6: Explained absences and behavior that concern current and former FBI
- 9:43Speaker 6: and DOJ officials. You have publicly denied those allegations and
- 9:48Speaker 6: filed a defamation lawsuit. So today, as you testify before Congress,
- 9:53Speaker 6: is it your testimony that those allegations are categorically false?
- 9:57Speaker 7: Unequivocally categorically false.
- 9:59Speaker 6: So there's... have been no occasions during your tenure when
- 10:02Speaker 6: FBI personnel were unable to promptly reach you?
- 10:05Speaker 8: Absolutely not.
- 10:05Speaker 7: You can ask my entire workforce. They hear from me
- 10:08Speaker 7: at every single hour of the day, as do these
- 10:10Speaker 7: great gentlemen here, as do the men and women of
- 10:12Speaker 7: the interagency in state and local law enforcement and the
- 10:14Speaker 7: White House.
- 10:15Speaker 3: Now, Van Hollen is not going to stop because he
- 10:18Speaker 3: is trying to set up a perjury case. If you
- 10:21Speaker 3: listen to him ask these questions, he thinks he knows
- 10:23Speaker 3: something about Patel that Patel is not going to agree to.
- 10:27Speaker 3: So he thinks he's getting Patel to lie here. That's
- 10:30Speaker 3: where this is going eventually. He's hoping that when the
- 10:33Speaker 3: Democrats have control and power again, he can do a
- 10:36Speaker 3: criminal referral. for Kash Patel, but that's where this line
- 10:40Speaker 3: of questioning is coming from.
- 10:41Speaker 6: And so there have been no occasions when your security
- 10:43Speaker 6: detail had difficulty waking or locating you, is that right?
- 10:47Speaker 3: No, it's a total farce.
- 10:48Speaker 7: I don't even know where you get this stuff, but
- 10:49Speaker 7: it doesn't make it credible because you say so.
- 10:52Speaker 6: I'm not saying it, Director Patel. It's been written and documented.
- 10:56Speaker 3: You are literally saying it.
- 10:57Speaker 2: No, I'm saying that these are reports, Director Patel. Unlike
- 11:01Speaker 2: your baseless reports... The only.
- 11:03Speaker 7: Person that was slinging margaritas in El Salvador on the
- 11:06Speaker 7: taxpayer dollar with a convicted gang-banging rapist was you.
- 11:10Speaker 2: The only person that ran up a $ 7, 000 bar tab.
- 11:13Speaker 1: In Washington, D.C.
- 11:14Speaker 8: At the lobby of the car was you.
- 11:16Speaker 2: So the only individual in this room that has been.
- 11:19Speaker 7: Drinking on taxpayer dime during the day is you.
- 11:23Speaker 6: Director Patel, come on. These are serious allegations that were
- 11:27Speaker 6: made against you.
- 11:28Speaker 8: Allegations are false. You drinking margaritas with a gangbanger.
- 11:32Speaker 2: Actually, this goes to show you running a $ 7, 000 bar
- 11:35Speaker 2: tab at the lobby bar has been filed by your
- 11:38Speaker 2: own office.
- 11:38Speaker 6: This goes to show.
- 11:39Speaker 8: She's drinking during the day. That's you.
- 11:42Speaker 3: And Van Hollen later on X actually confirmed that $ 7, 000
- 11:45Speaker 3: that Cash Patel was talking about. It was for a party,
- 11:50Speaker 3: he said. It was for catering for alcohol and food
- 11:54Speaker 3: for a party that he threw. $ 7, 000 tab there. That
- 11:58Speaker 3: would be your taxpayer money, by the way. Here's one
- 12:01Speaker 3: more from that exchange.
- 12:02Speaker 8: Not lied to Congress?
- 12:04Speaker 1: I didn't ask you that.
- 12:04Speaker 8: Not lied to Congress is you?
- 12:06Speaker 4: Do you?
- 12:07Speaker 6: I'm not testifying here, sir, and I don't lie.
- 12:09Speaker 7: Maybe the next time you run up a $ 7, 000 bar tab,
- 12:11Speaker 7: we can talk about it.
- 12:12Speaker 1: Well, see, there you go. Lying again, you suggested.
- 12:15Speaker 8: In the FPC report, I'll post it right now.
- 12:16Speaker 1: You suggested it was public.
- 12:18Speaker 2: It wasn't public money, as you know. That was for
- 12:20Speaker 2: a 50-member staff party.
- 12:22Speaker 8: So it was a $ 7, 000 bar tab.
- 12:24Speaker 1: Mr. Patel, I'm glad.
- 12:26Speaker 3: Let me just say in closing, Mr. Chairman. And Van Hollen,
- 12:29Speaker 3: as I said, later confirmed that he did spend $ 7, 000
- 12:32Speaker 3: for 50 people. Interesting. Let's go back to Pete Hegseth
- 12:37Speaker 3: and his questioning on Tuesday. This is Democrat Senator Chris
- 12:42Speaker 3: Coons of Delaware.
- 12:43Speaker 9: You've achieved a series of tactical successes, but are on
- 12:47Speaker 9: the verge of a strategic loss because we are now negotiating.
- 12:51Speaker 3: Just think it's so foolish.
- 12:52Speaker 9: Here we are in a committee in the United States Senate,
- 12:54Speaker 9: 74 days in, and you're talking about strategic loss.
- 12:57Speaker 3: They're talking about what's going on in Iran right now,
- 13:00Speaker 3: 75 days roughly into this conflict. And Coons is saying
- 13:04Speaker 3: you're losing. You had a great military success, but strategically
- 13:09Speaker 3: you have lost. Do you agree to that? And Hegseth
- 13:11Speaker 3: says no.
- 13:12Speaker 9: We have the ability to defeat a 47-year threat of
- 13:15Speaker 9: a pursuit of a nuclear weapon.
- 13:17Speaker 3: We have more leverage than we've ever had. We've had
- 13:19Speaker 3: incredible battlefield successes. And you're talking about a strategic loss? Mr.
- 13:24Speaker 9: Secretary.
- 13:24Speaker 10: Disingenuous questions.
- 13:26Speaker 8: Mr.
- 13:26Speaker 1: Secretary.
- 13:26Speaker 9: This is how you undercut efforts that could otherwise and
- 13:29Speaker 9: are otherwise being very effective. I am not your enemy, sir.
- 13:31Speaker 9: I am not your adversary. I share your goal of
- 13:34Speaker 9: preventing Iran from ever having a usable nuclear weapon. To
- 13:38Speaker 9: finish my sentence, control of the Strait of Hormuz, the
- 13:41Speaker 9: ability to degrade our partners and allies' gas and oil
- 13:45Speaker 9: production capabilities through cheap drones, the ability to harass and
- 13:49Speaker 9: harry commercial shipping remains in Iran's hands. And their demands
- 13:55Speaker 9: are that we recognize sovereignty for them over the Strait
- 13:59Speaker 9: of Hormuz, which I believe our president's rejected, you've rejected,
- 14:02Speaker 9: I reject. But my question remains, how do we reopen
- 14:06Speaker 9: the Strait of Hormuz to commercial shipping? If we control it,
- 14:10Speaker 9: how do we reopen it? And your average American is
- 14:12Speaker 9: seeing this at the gas pump every single day.
- 14:16Speaker 3: And he's absolutely right there. The Democrat senator from Delaware
- 14:20Speaker 3: asks a legitimate question. And I think that also is
- 14:23Speaker 3: what Donald Trump is going to be talking to Chairman
- 14:26Speaker 3: Xi about in China. We started the hour that way
- 14:29Speaker 3: with one of the five things that Donald Trump will
- 14:33Speaker 3: be discussing there in China. And that's one of them.
- 14:36Speaker 3: Maybe China can help. Donald Trump said before he left
- 14:39Speaker 3: from the White House on Tuesday that we don't need
- 14:43Speaker 3: their help. I'm not going to ask for their help.
- 14:45Speaker 3: But however, if America can somehow sell China the oil
- 14:50Speaker 3: that they need, then maybe that solves that problem altogether.
- 14:54Speaker 3: I want to go back to inflation. I mentioned that
- 14:56Speaker 3: inflation was up last month to 3.8%. Core inflation, which
- 15:01Speaker 3: is really the tell because that's looking out into the future,
- 15:05Speaker 3: it was only at 2.8%. So this little energy hit
- 15:10Speaker 3: that is happening because of the Strait of Hormuz to
- 15:13Speaker 3: the inflation is not going to be long lasting. This
- 15:16Speaker 3: ends when this ends in Iran. And the prices are
- 15:20Speaker 3: going to come back down. You have United Arab Emirates
- 15:23Speaker 3: and Saudi Arabia running offensive military tactics and bombing inside
- 15:29Speaker 3: of Iran now. And you have both of those countries
- 15:31Speaker 3: with a lot of oil sitting on the sidelines. And
- 15:35Speaker 3: when this comes to a conclusion, hopefully very soon, the
- 15:39Speaker 3: prices on everything are going to come down quickly. I've
- 15:42Speaker 3: said that for a long time. Matt Palumbo and I,
- 15:44Speaker 3: we discussed it on Monday nights, and I'm going to
- 15:47Speaker 3: stick to that. That's what will happen eventually. Good news
- 15:51Speaker 3: from the economy. The April jobs numbers, the early numbers
- 15:55Speaker 3: came out. That came out last Friday, and a lot
- 15:58Speaker 3: of people are talking about this. 115,000 new American jobs
- 16:03Speaker 3: were created. Government jobs lost. 8,000 government jobs lost. So
- 16:08Speaker 3: in reality, that number was even higher if you take
- 16:11Speaker 3: away that negative government job number of 8,000. 115,000 jobs created.
- 16:16Speaker 3: Last month, that's good news for the economy. That core
- 16:20Speaker 3: inflation at 2.8, it's up just a tick, but not
- 16:23Speaker 3: a lot. That also is good news if you look forward.
- 16:28Speaker 3: If only now we can get this Iran conflict over with,
- 16:31Speaker 3: things are going to start looking good for the American
- 16:34Speaker 3: people and their checkbook at their kitchen table before we
- 16:37Speaker 3: get to this midterm coming up in November.
- 16:41Speaker 5: Thank him when it's falling, cause it brings a grain
- 16:44Speaker 5: and a little bit of money. We put it back
- 16:47Speaker 5: in a plate, I guess that's why they call it
- 16:50Speaker 5: God's country.

- 16:57Speaker 3: Someone asked me the other day, how do you even
- 17:00Speaker 3: get a sense of what's going to happen next? It's hard.
- 17:03Speaker 3: I don't know that we can, the way the news
- 17:05Speaker 3: moves so fast. But you know what I told them?
- 17:08Speaker 3: I said, I've been checking out Polly Market a little bit.
- 17:11Speaker 3: It's extremely insightful. You're basically watching how thousands of people
- 17:16Speaker 3: are betting on outcomes. Political elections, big policy moves, even
- 17:21Speaker 3: events you wouldn't expect. It's kind of like a live
- 17:25Speaker 3: pulse on what the public actually believes. And you can
- 17:29Speaker 3: see trends before they even happen and before they even
- 17:33Speaker 3: make the mainstream news. For me, it's not about gambling.
- 17:38Speaker 3: It's about understanding the probabilities and where the momentum is shifting.
- 17:43Speaker 3: If you like or love the news like I do,
- 17:45Speaker 3: maybe you're a news junkie, but you want to take
- 17:47Speaker 3: a little deeper look at what people really think, go

- 18:29Speaker 3: something a little bit different, something that I don't deal
- 18:31Speaker 3: with a lot on this program. I have some, but
- 18:34Speaker 3: this is going to be an interesting conversation. We have
- 18:37Speaker 3: Rick Hill with us. We have Rick Hill with us now,
- 18:40Speaker 3: and Rick is someone that was in serious trouble medically,
- 18:46Speaker 3: and this was 50 years ago. But you know what?
- 18:49Speaker 3: He didn't go through regular medicine. He decided to do
- 18:53Speaker 3: a holistic approach. And somehow, some way that worked. And
- 18:57Speaker 3: now for all of these years, he's been giving his
- 19:00Speaker 3: life to try to help people like you and other people.
- 19:03Speaker 3: You know, cancer is something that absolutely touches every one
- 19:07Speaker 3: of our lives. And that's what we're going to have
- 19:09Speaker 3: this conversation about. Rick, welcome to the program. So good
- 19:12Speaker 3: to have you. And I'm glad you're joining us.
- 19:16Speaker 8: Thank you, Booker. I appreciate it. I'm looking forward to this.
- 19:19Speaker 3: Well, let's go back 50 years ago. I think that's
- 19:22Speaker 3: where we start with your story, don't we? What was it, 1974?
- 19:26Speaker 3: And you have stage three carcinoma. It didn't look good
- 19:30Speaker 3: for you. You got a letter even.
- 19:33Speaker 8: Yeah. Yeah, this is just how handsome I was back then.
- 19:38Speaker 8: That's me with the gastro tube after eight and a
- 19:42Speaker 8: half hours of surgery. And they put me on morphine.
- 19:48Speaker 8: I was down to 120 pounds. and the chemotherapist came
- 19:53Speaker 8: in for the chat you know that the arm up
- 19:56Speaker 8: on the thing on the edge of the bed sure
- 19:59Speaker 8: just just to tell me how the cow's gonna eat
- 20:02Speaker 8: the cabbage and he said well You know, good thing
- 20:08Speaker 8: we asked you to bring your family into town a
- 20:11Speaker 8: week ago. We found cancer. We operate on your neck
- 20:16Speaker 8: up here. We found it in the lymphatic system. We
- 20:20Speaker 8: operate on the top of your feet. And when I'm
- 20:23Speaker 8: taking a shower every day, I look down and there
- 20:26Speaker 8: it is, this crazy scar, top of my feet, both
- 20:31Speaker 8: of them. And he said, we found cancer there too.
- 20:34Speaker 8: So as I measure real estate, you pretty much are
- 20:38Speaker 8: head to toe. And so we've got chemo, which will
- 20:44Speaker 8: start on Monday. Today is Friday. Take the weekend off.
- 20:50Speaker 8: I'm going to go home and relax. And he said,
- 20:54Speaker 8: we'll see you back here Monday. So that afternoon I
- 20:59Speaker 8: drove home and I got a, now, now here, if
- 21:02Speaker 8: I would, Booker, if I was going to do a screenplay,
- 21:07Speaker 8: here's act one, and here's the inciting incident. And unlike
- 21:13Speaker 8: the movies, this incident is not a bomb going off,
- 21:17Speaker 8: not diving off a high building, et cetera. This is
- 21:21Speaker 8: a 10-cent stamped letter that I got in the mail
- 21:25Speaker 8: that day on the Friday. Brought it to me. I
- 21:30Speaker 8: opened it. and read it. It said, dear Rick, if
- 21:35Speaker 8: you want to live, you're going to have to leave
- 21:40Speaker 8: the Mayo Clinic. John. Now, most rational people would have
- 21:47Speaker 8: torn that letter up, thrown it in the trash, and yelled,
- 21:51Speaker 8: mind your own business.
- 21:53Speaker 3: Sure. Why wouldn't you?
- 21:55Speaker 8: I don't know why it got everything shut off, and
- 21:57Speaker 8: that thing is just bugging me to death today.
- 22:01Speaker 3: I definitely would have thrown it away. I would have
- 22:03Speaker 3: put it in the trash, and I would have gone
- 22:04Speaker 3: back to Mayo Clinic on Monday morning.
- 22:08Speaker 8: Well, this guy's not a doctor, okay? Let's start there.
- 22:12Speaker 8: So I knew him. I was in seminary, and he
- 22:16Speaker 8: would come. He was a Baptist pastor. He'd speak in chapel.
- 22:20Speaker 8: But not your regular Baptist pastor. No. This guy was
- 22:26Speaker 8: a John Birch Society member.
- 22:28Speaker 4: Hmm.
- 22:29Speaker 8: And if you don't know what that is, think about MAGA,
- 22:32Speaker 8: but on steroids, right? Real conservative. And he'd talk about
- 22:38Speaker 8: Jesus for the first 15 minutes of his sermon, and
- 22:42Speaker 8: he'd talk about getting out of the U.N.
- 22:45Speaker 3: The last 15 minutes. I agree with John, by the way.
- 22:52Speaker 3: In fact, let's not get out of the U.N., let's
- 22:54Speaker 3: get rid of the U.N., but keep going with your
- 22:57Speaker 3: letter from John.
- 22:58Speaker 8: Yeah, and I agree with him too now, by the by,
- 23:02Speaker 8: but not them. I was one of the illumined ones.
- 23:06Speaker 8: So me and the other boys that sit in the
- 23:08Speaker 8: back of chapel, and I go, all right, he's going
- 23:11Speaker 8: to get to the UN pretty quick. Are you ready?
- 23:14Speaker 8: It's coming. There it is. This guy would talk about
- 23:17Speaker 8: the UN and other things, Jekyll Island and all that
- 23:23Speaker 8: kind of thing. So I get this letter from him,
- 23:27Speaker 8: and he puts his phone number at the bottom. I
- 23:29Speaker 8: call him up. I said, John, if you weren't a
- 23:32Speaker 8: Baptist pastor, I'd ask you what you're smoking, and then
- 23:37Speaker 8: ask you if I could have some. What do you
- 23:40Speaker 8: mean leave the Mayo Clinic? It is the citadel of
- 23:44Speaker 8: modern medicine. He said, I agree. Well, why would I leave?
- 23:51Speaker 8: Where am I going to go? It's the best in
- 23:53Speaker 8: the world. He said, I agree it is the citadel
- 23:57Speaker 8: of modern medicine and surgery, but I don't think they
- 24:03Speaker 8: know squat about the human immune system. Oh, and where
- 24:08Speaker 8: did you learn this, John? At Central Seminary? I'm really
- 24:14Speaker 8: giving him a bad time. And he says, no, I
- 24:17Speaker 8: just read a lot and I talk to my friends.
- 24:20Speaker 8: And look at it this way, Rick. You're not doing
- 24:23Speaker 8: too well, I heard. I said, no. Okay. 120 pounds.
- 24:28Speaker 8: I'm on morphine. Seeing the pink elephants. Not my best
- 24:32Speaker 8: time of life. He said, I heard that. I knew that.
- 24:37Speaker 8: And he said, there are clinics around the world, maybe
- 24:43Speaker 8: some here in the States, but I haven't found out yet.
- 24:46Speaker 8: And there are. And he said, but I know one
- 24:51Speaker 8: that really is getting good results. I said, okay, where
- 24:56Speaker 8: do I go? He said, you fly into San Diego.
- 25:00Speaker 8: I said, oh, I like San Diego. And then he said, yeah,
- 25:05Speaker 8: then you get on a bus and you go down
- 25:09Speaker 8: to Tijuana. I said, so I'm taking notes, John, help
- 25:14Speaker 8: me out. You want me to go to my family
- 25:17Speaker 8: and say, I'm leaving the Mayo Clinic, going to go
- 25:20Speaker 8: to TJ, huh? And John, what are they going to
- 25:24Speaker 8: do to me in Tijuana? He said, well, they have
- 25:26Speaker 8: a natural organic treatment. And what's it made out of
- 25:33Speaker 8: if it's natural and organic? He said, are you sitting down? Booker,
- 25:41Speaker 8: nothing good comes after that question ever from anybody. And
- 25:46Speaker 8: I said, all right, John, I'm sitting down.
- 25:49Speaker 2: What?
- 25:50Speaker 8: He says, well, it's an extract. from the apricot plant
- 25:55Speaker 8: or apricot. Depending on what part of the world you
- 25:58Speaker 8: were born in.
- 25:58Speaker 3: Yeah, I say apricot. What do you say? You say apricot? Okay.
- 26:02Speaker 8: Yeah. And I said, well, here's why you're not thinking.
- 26:07Speaker 8: I eat every season when apricots are out in full.
- 26:12Speaker 8: I eat lots of them. I like them. He said,
- 26:15Speaker 8: you're not eating them correctly. I said, you want me
- 26:18Speaker 8: to hold it in my left hand when I eat it?
- 26:20Speaker 3: What do you want me to do?
- 26:23Speaker 8: That is what you should be eating, bud. He said,
- 26:26Speaker 8: that's inside the pit. That's an apricot kernel. And it
- 26:31Speaker 8: is very high in what's called nitrilicide, which is a
- 26:35Speaker 8: bitter kind of amaretto finish. Bakers grind them up, use
- 26:42Speaker 8: them in muffins, all that. And I said, oh, man,
- 26:46Speaker 8: I can just hear it now if I take this
- 26:48Speaker 8: story back. He said, well, I got some phone numbers
- 26:50Speaker 8: here if you want to call some people. I said,
- 26:52Speaker 8: I'm not going to do that. I'll tell you what
- 26:54Speaker 8: I will do. I'll go see my chemotherapist this afternoon
- 26:58Speaker 8: and tell him what you told me. Wife takes me over,
- 27:02Speaker 8: get an emergency thing, sit down with him. I told
- 27:06Speaker 8: him what I just told you.
- 27:08Speaker 3: Okay. And this is Friday afternoon then, is that correct?
- 27:11Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 27:12Speaker 3: Okay. So you go back to the Mayo Clinic, you
- 27:15Speaker 3: sit there with a doctor and you say, I just
- 27:18Speaker 3: got a letter from a guy named John from seminary
- 27:20Speaker 3: who doesn't like the United Nations and And he's kind
- 27:23Speaker 3: of wackadoodle in a lot of different ways. And he
- 27:25Speaker 3: tells me, I need apricot. And what did the doctor
- 27:28Speaker 3: say to you?
- 27:29Speaker 8: Pretty much accurate quotation. I wasn't as nice as I
- 27:36Speaker 8: would have told you. And I said, if you were me,
- 27:40Speaker 8: what would you do? And he leaned back in his
- 27:43Speaker 8: chair like this. And he goes, you know what, Rick?
- 27:46Speaker 8: It is warm in Tijuana this time of year.
- 27:49Speaker 3: Interesting answer.
- 27:52Speaker 8: In other words, I don't think they're going to help you.
- 27:55Speaker 8: You know, whether you're going to shots of tequila.
- 27:57Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 27:58Speaker 8: He knew they weren't going to help me. And he
- 28:01Speaker 8: didn't want to risk a 300,000 K job a year
- 28:04Speaker 8: by going run, get out of here. No. Just told
- 28:08Speaker 8: me it was warm there. He could say, we were
- 28:10Speaker 8: talking about the weather. I said, message delivered. Thank you
- 28:14Speaker 8: so much. Got up, went back home. We had dinner,
- 28:18Speaker 8: stood up, told my family. what I told you and
- 28:22Speaker 8: the chemotherapist. And to a person, they all went like that.
- 28:30Speaker 8: And I looked around the table, look at their friendly face. None.
- 28:35Speaker 8: My brother, Sam, Sam Hill stood up and he said,
- 28:40Speaker 8: you know, Ricky, we always knew you were stupid. We
- 28:44Speaker 8: just didn't know how stupid you can be. And I
- 28:49Speaker 8: looked at everybody. I thought that's it. I'm sick. I
- 28:55Speaker 8: need some help.
- 28:57Speaker 3: You mentioned your family there a couple of times. Who's there?
- 29:01Speaker 3: Who's your family at that time? Again, this is 1974,
- 29:04Speaker 3: so you were much younger at that time. You were
- 29:07Speaker 3: a young man when this happened. How old were you
- 29:10Speaker 3: when this was happening?
- 29:10Speaker 1: 24.
- 29:12Speaker 3: Okay, so your family would be your brother and your
- 29:15Speaker 3: parents and maybe some other siblings?
- 29:17Speaker 8: Two brothers, one sister, parents. And my in-laws and my wife.
- 29:24Speaker 8: So I get, everybody's kind of silent. My wife is
- 29:26Speaker 8: just looking at her shoes.
- 29:28Speaker 3: The consensus was you're crazy.
- 29:31Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 29:31Speaker 3: Okay, good.
- 29:32Speaker 8: We got my father-in-law, who's a big, burly, owns Caterpillar tractors.
- 29:39Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.
- 29:40Speaker 8: A piece of straw out of his mouth all day long.
- 29:43Speaker 8: And he stood up and he said, I like it.
- 29:47Speaker 8: I'll take him down there and I'll help pay for it. Well,
- 29:52Speaker 8: my family looked at their shoes. They didn't want this program.
- 29:57Speaker 8: And I said, deal. And two days later, this Detroit
- 30:03Speaker 8: greaser with the Fonz hairdo left for Tijuana, Mexico. And
- 30:10Speaker 8: I'm telling you, yeah, I went down the rabbit's hole.
- 30:14Speaker 8: I didn't know that world. Go ahead.
- 30:16Speaker 3: Yeah, I was just going to say, so you're 24
- 30:17Speaker 3: years old. You hop on a plane. You do not
- 30:20Speaker 3: go to Mayo Clinic to get really the chemotherapy. I
- 30:24Speaker 3: don't know, radiation probably. A lot more drugs are going
- 30:28Speaker 3: to be coming your way. You're at stage three. It
- 30:30Speaker 3: doesn't look good. Did you feel like you had much
- 30:33Speaker 3: of a choice there? Did you feel like, okay, I
- 30:37Speaker 3: have to go try this because I know my fate
- 30:40Speaker 3: if I stay here. What was your mind like at
- 30:42Speaker 3: that point?
- 30:44Speaker 8: The chemotherapist tipped me off. That man basically, unless I
- 30:52Speaker 8: read into it what I wanted to hear, said to me,
- 30:56Speaker 8: if you want to go, Then you just go. That's
- 31:00Speaker 8: all there is to it. All right. Shut off. Not
- 31:05Speaker 8: just the red button. Apologies. So I just felt like,
- 31:15Speaker 8: you know, I do have a theological background. I do
- 31:18Speaker 8: love the funny stories in the Bible. And what this
- 31:22Speaker 8: sounded like to me was Abraham getting a wife for
- 31:25Speaker 8: his daughter or for his son, Isaac.
- 31:27Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 31:28Speaker 8: And I'll hurry. He sends the camels loaded down with
- 31:32Speaker 8: a jewelry dowry, 450 miles across the desert. He says,
- 31:38Speaker 8: now when you get there, there's going to be a
- 31:41Speaker 8: good looking woman at the well. Well, I don't care
- 31:43Speaker 8: how good looking she is. I'm not traveling 450 miles
- 31:48Speaker 8: in the desert on the back of a camel. But
- 31:51Speaker 8: he gets there. He says, my father Abraham sent me
- 31:54Speaker 8: down here. And he would like you to serve the
- 31:58Speaker 8: Lord our God as the wife of Isaac. We've got
- 32:02Speaker 8: your dowry here loaded on these camels. And when they
- 32:05Speaker 8: walk toward her, her eyes are blinking in the reflection
- 32:09Speaker 8: of gold. I mean, it was probably worth half a
- 32:13Speaker 8: million dollars. And so she looks at the camels. She
- 32:17Speaker 8: looks at him, looks at the camels. She goes, deal.
- 32:22Speaker 8: Just like my deal.
- 32:23Speaker 3: And that's the way you felt. You said, okay, deal
- 32:25Speaker 3: with your father-in-law. Let's go. Let's get on the plane.
- 32:28Speaker 3: Let's go to Tijuana.
- 32:30Speaker 8: Three things in a row that are really stupid happened
- 32:33Speaker 8: to me in one day. The letter, the chemotherapist, my father-in-law.
- 32:40Speaker 8: You know, I just said, I don't know what I'm doing.
- 32:45Speaker 8: I'm going.
- 32:46Speaker 9: And I went.
- 32:47Speaker 8: And together, we went down there. First day, we go
- 32:50Speaker 8: to a health food store. If they had health food
- 32:53Speaker 8: stores in Detroit, I never saw one. And if they
- 32:57Speaker 8: had one, I wouldn't have gone in. I go in there,
- 33:01Speaker 8: and it's hug tree heaven. All the women are walking
- 33:06Speaker 8: around in wrinkled granny dresses, and I'm the only one
- 33:11Speaker 8: there wearing underwear. I mean, this place is stone ground.
- 33:17Speaker 3: And I looked around. What's in the health store in Tijuana, Mexico?
- 33:21Speaker 3: What's in there?
- 33:22Speaker 8: No, no, this was San Diego. I'm sorry.
- 33:24Speaker 3: Oh, you're in San Diego. Okay.
- 33:25Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm still in San Diego. And I didn't recognize
- 33:30Speaker 8: most of the food in there. I'd never eaten an avocado.
- 33:34Speaker 8: And they were serving little tastes of it. And it
- 33:36Speaker 8: looked like diaper stuff. I mean, it was horrible. And
- 33:41Speaker 8: these soups that just smelled like herbs and all this stuff.
- 33:46Speaker 8: And I looked at my father-in-law and I went, I
- 33:48Speaker 8: want to go for a burger when this is over.
- 33:51Speaker 8: And I just said, but here's the lesson. I didn't blend.
- 33:59Speaker 8: And your listeners don't have to either. I didn't have
- 34:04Speaker 8: to believe. I mean, you hear these guys in the seminar,
- 34:07Speaker 8: unless you believe. Nope. You really think I thought a
- 34:13Speaker 8: little corner clinic in TJ was going to do as
- 34:17Speaker 8: well as a Mayo Clinic to help me? I wasn't sure.
- 34:22Speaker 8: My wife gets on the plane to say goodbye. Do
- 34:25Speaker 8: that back then. I'm crying. She's crying. And I said
- 34:28Speaker 8: to her, sweetie, I think it's a one-way ticket. So
- 34:33Speaker 8: the next day we go to the clinic and I
- 34:36Speaker 8: meet the doctor. He says, I only have one question.
- 34:40Speaker 8: Are you willing to do what we asked you to do?
- 34:42Speaker 8: And I'm thinking, oh, I don't know you from Adam, doc.
- 34:48Speaker 8: I don't know what you do here. He says, well,
- 34:50Speaker 8: I'm a real MD. I actually worked at Children's Hospital
- 34:54Speaker 8: in Boston. And he said, but I own the clinic
- 34:57Speaker 8: that you're in now. And I'm telling you, this stuff
- 35:01Speaker 8: is amazing to me. But you have to help. Are
- 35:06Speaker 8: you going to change your diet? Are you going to
- 35:09Speaker 8: do the healthy things we ask you to do? And
- 35:13Speaker 8: are you going to do them for the rest of
- 35:15Speaker 8: your life? I'm going to miss beer.
- 35:22Speaker 3: We're going to continue on with this conversation here in
- 35:25Speaker 3: just a minute. We're up against a break, Rick. You're
- 35:27Speaker 3: listening to Rick Hill. He survived cancer and you're hearing
- 35:31Speaker 3: how he did it. We're going to go with him
- 35:33Speaker 3: to Tijuana, Mexico. and continue this conversation that started back
- 35:38Speaker 3: in 1974 for Rick Hill. You're going to hear about
- 35:41Speaker 3: it next.
- 35:41Speaker 10: I don't know about you, but the one thing the
- 35:43Speaker 10: last five or so years has taught me is that
- 35:45Speaker 10: there's a lot, and I mean a lot, of companies
- 35:48Speaker 10: and services out there that don't share the foundational values
- 35:51Speaker 10: of this country and we the people. And I've spoken
- 35:53Speaker 10: to a lot of you about it who share the
- 35:55Speaker 10: same concerns. And you wonder where to shop, where to
- 35:58Speaker 10: spend your hard-earned money without feeling gross about it. It
- 36:00Speaker 10: can be frustrating. But here's the good news. You don't
- 36:03Speaker 10: have to do the research yourself and you don't have
- 36:05Speaker 10: to tie yourself up in knots any longer because we've
- 36:08Speaker 10: done the legwork for you. At mammothnation.com, we have thousands
- 36:11Speaker 10: of vetted, freedom-loving, pro-America companies who actually share your values.
- 36:16Speaker 10: So now the ball's in your court. Keep spending money
- 36:18Speaker 10: with companies that frustrate you and then use the proceeds
- 36:21Speaker 10: to fund initiatives that are in direct competition with your
- 36:23Speaker 10: values or be a part of something better. I think
- 36:26Speaker 10: the choice is pretty easy. Come be a part of
- 36:28Speaker 10: the solution. Join Mammoth Nation today and you can save

- 36:43Speaker 3: Coming up tonight at 7 o'clock Eastern Time, it is
- 36:46Speaker 3: Unleash the Political News Hour. After that, the National Security Hour.
- 36:50Speaker 3: And at 9 o'clock Eastern, After Dark with Robin Andrew.
- 36:53Speaker 3: I'm Booker Scott. Thank you for joining us tonight. We
- 36:56Speaker 3: are visiting with Rick Hill. He's telling the story about
- 36:58Speaker 3: going to Tijuana, Mexico in 1974. He was down to
- 37:03Speaker 3: 120 pounds, stage 3 cancer. He leaves the Mayo Clinic. Rick,
- 37:08Speaker 3: I think we're caught up. Let's keep going with your story.
- 37:12Speaker 8: All right, from here, it moves pretty fast because we're
- 37:14Speaker 8: in act two. In act two, the doctor says, I mean,
- 37:19Speaker 8: here's why people don't think it works. It is so simple.
- 37:26Speaker 8: It's not complex. First of all, they start giving me
- 37:31Speaker 8: these pro-enzymes. Now, what are enzymes? They're designed to digest protein,
- 37:37Speaker 8: among other things. You take them with meals. They'll digest
- 37:40Speaker 8: the protein you had with your meal, like a steak.
- 37:43Speaker 8: If you take them between meals, like I do, at
- 37:46Speaker 8: 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock, because I'm an old guy,
- 37:50Speaker 8: that's how we take our meds, they digest the protein
- 37:56Speaker 8: that may be covering cancer cells. That's how they hide. Now,
- 38:01Speaker 8: this isn't my idea. This was the 1920s. A doctor
- 38:05Speaker 8: named John Beard, by the way, for your listeners, I'll
- 38:09Speaker 8: give them the most scholarly book on all this for free.
- 38:13Speaker 8: You don't even have to have a credit card to
- 38:15Speaker 8: get it to come to you. You simply log on
- 38:17Speaker 8: to myworldwithoutcancer.com, myworldwithoutcancer.com, and we will send you G. Edward
- 38:28Speaker 8: Griffin's scholarly treatise on what is Laetrile, what is vitamin B17,
- 38:35Speaker 8: and why did our government shut it down? I can't
- 38:39Speaker 8: think of a question you can come up with that
- 38:42Speaker 8: isn't covered in that really good book. And it's yours
- 38:45Speaker 8: for free, a PDF copy, electronic. And it's 300 pages,
- 38:50Speaker 8: all right? So they start giving me lots of these enzymes.
- 38:56Speaker 8: By the way, you had a lot of them when
- 38:58Speaker 8: you were about two months old. Yeah, that's right. You
- 39:02Speaker 8: had trophoblast cells in your body, in your mother's pancreas,
- 39:07Speaker 8: kicks out this stuff called chymotrypsin to protect you and
- 39:12Speaker 8: your mom. And it takes the protein off so your
- 39:17Speaker 8: immune system, the mother's immune system, can see what's going
- 39:21Speaker 8: on and protect. Well, at 24 years old, where's my mom?
- 39:26Speaker 8: Where's my umbilical cord? I don't have it. So I
- 39:31Speaker 8: took my umbilical cord, those enzymes, at the clinic. Secondly,
- 39:36Speaker 8: there's a backup plan, and it's called B17. You can
- 39:40Speaker 8: get it in the pills, and I didn't start taking
- 39:42Speaker 8: these for almost a year afterwards. But this, an ampule, laetrile, amygdalin,
- 39:50Speaker 8: They just put the needle in there. And then Monday
- 39:53Speaker 8: to Thursday, they gave me three grams right here. And
- 39:57Speaker 8: then on Friday, they gave me six grams, an amount
- 40:01Speaker 8: which our government says will kill any adult.
- 40:06Speaker 3: So the American government, the American government says that.
- 40:09Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 40:11Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 40:11Speaker 8: The Mexican government thought, well, it's working for these guys.
- 40:15Speaker 8: Let's leave them alone.
- 40:16Speaker 3: Well, you mentioned earlier that the doctor said there are
- 40:19Speaker 3: some clinics in America back in 1974. You didn't know
- 40:23Speaker 3: exactly where those were. Are there clinics now here in
- 40:26Speaker 3: America that are doing holistic healing like this for cancer?
- 40:30Speaker 8: There really are. In fact, if somebody wanted to get
- 40:35Speaker 8: a hold of me, remember, I don't practice medicine. I
- 40:39Speaker 8: will never tell your listeners what to do. I will
- 40:43Speaker 8: tell them what I did. If they think that's a
- 40:47Speaker 8: good idea, I can tell them to get the stuff,
- 40:50Speaker 8: where to get the stuff I had. And then if
- 40:53Speaker 8: they're in stage three and four, my recommendation is they
- 40:56Speaker 8: find a holistic licensed medical doctor to help. And, and,
- 41:04Speaker 8: and that's important. I mean, I'm not crazy. Although my
- 41:07Speaker 8: family thinks I was, uh, Well, Rick, you.
- 41:12Speaker 3: Said that back then that the American government, the amount
- 41:16Speaker 3: that you were using that they were giving you in Tijuana,
- 41:19Speaker 3: the American government wouldn't allow that. Does the American government
- 41:23Speaker 3: allow that now as part of?
- 41:25Speaker 1: They do.
- 41:26Speaker 3: Okay.
- 41:27Speaker 8: They do, and I'll tell you how. We got smarter.
- 41:31Speaker 8: They kind of forgot about it because they drove us
- 41:33Speaker 8: so deep underground that we stayed underground. But the guy
- 41:38Speaker 8: I work for is named John Richardson. His father was
- 41:42Speaker 8: an MD, and he wrote Laetro case histories, 60-some, 62
- 41:49Speaker 8: case histories about people who were stage four, did exactly
- 41:54Speaker 8: what I did, and got their health back. Well, once
- 41:59Speaker 8: that book was published, they came blaring into his offices,
- 42:03Speaker 8: guns drawn, arrested him, arrested his nurse, put them both
- 42:08Speaker 8: in the hooscow, and took away his medical license for
- 42:13Speaker 8: a food product. Why? Because it really worked well. And
- 42:19Speaker 8: chemo doesn't work that well.
- 42:21Speaker 3: Pharmaceutical companies don't like that, do they?
- 42:25Speaker 8: Ah, they've got a really bad attitude about losing money.
- 42:28Speaker 3: We've got that going on right now in Washington, D.C., too,
- 42:31Speaker 3: with RFK Jr. and the CDC, FDA.
- 42:35Speaker 8: Did you see the The hearing a couple of days ago.
- 42:39Speaker 8: Holy cow. They did everything but beat him over the
- 42:43Speaker 8: head with a chair.
- 42:45Speaker 3: All those politicians are getting paid, obviously, from the pharmaceutical companies.
- 42:50Speaker 8: Big money. Yeah, he told Pocahontas how much.
- 42:53Speaker 1: She didn't like that much.
- 42:57Speaker 8: So it's just three products. And then they gave me
- 43:02Speaker 8: a diet sheet. Then the nurse comes in the next
- 43:05Speaker 8: day and goes, today? we are going to start your detox.
- 43:10Speaker 8: I said, good. What's a detox? And she's carrying this
- 43:16Speaker 8: bag with a hose. And she says, well, did you
- 43:21Speaker 8: ever change the water in the radiator of your car?
- 43:24Speaker 8: And I said, oh, yeah. I got a 57 Ford,
- 43:27Speaker 8: slick tires, first floor shift, handling it. She goes, good.
- 43:32Speaker 8: And I said, good? Where does that hose go? I
- 43:38Speaker 8: learned what a colonic is. Now, before you throw something
- 43:42Speaker 8: at me, Elvis, when he died, they said he had
- 43:46Speaker 8: over 50 pounds of undigested matter in his large coat.
- 43:53Speaker 8: 50 pounds. And they told me, we want you so
- 43:59Speaker 8: clean that you squeak when you walk. Get that poison
- 44:03Speaker 8: out of you. Get good nutritious food into you. and
- 44:07Speaker 8: give your immune system the ability to see cancer cells
- 44:12Speaker 8: and fight cancer cells. That's the program. We sell it
- 44:18Speaker 8: at rncstore.com as an adjunct, like high-dose vitamin C, like
- 44:25Speaker 8: Myers cocktails for hangovers. In other words, it's a food
- 44:30Speaker 8: product just to get you buffed up. And that's how
- 44:35Speaker 8: we market it. We don't say that we're doing, now
- 44:38Speaker 8: it helped me, but I never told anybody, I'll guarantee
- 44:42Speaker 8: you this will work. I've never said those things. So
- 44:46Speaker 8: simple program, low cost, government irritated. Just recently, we've come
- 44:54Speaker 8: out of the groundwork to help.
- 44:57Speaker 3: Well, Rick, let's go back to you real quick. Let's
- 45:00Speaker 3: go to Tijuana. I interrupted you when you were going
- 45:02Speaker 3: to get cleaned out. So that was another part of
- 45:05Speaker 3: the treatment from there. What happened? I guess diet came
- 45:10Speaker 3: into it as well.
- 45:11Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 45:12Speaker 8: And the diet is real simple too. 80% raw and
- 45:15Speaker 8: uncooked fruits and vegetables. You can have some meat as
- 45:20Speaker 8: long as it's broiled and organic and you only eat
- 45:24Speaker 8: about four ounces of it. Not because meat was cursed
- 45:28Speaker 8: by the devil, but because meat is high protein and
- 45:32Speaker 8: And you've got a plan for the protein in your body.
- 45:35Speaker 8: I did, I should say. And that is you want
- 45:38Speaker 8: it gone. So your immune system, the T cells, killer cells, macrophages,
- 45:44Speaker 8: they can see the cancer then and they go after it.
- 45:48Speaker 8: Cancer cells want to survive just like every other cell
- 45:51Speaker 8: in your body. It's part of the human process. So
- 45:57Speaker 8: I'm eating these squishy meals. I'm taking the colonics every
- 46:02Speaker 8: few days. I'm hoping no one finds out, not in Detroit.
- 46:08Speaker 8: We beat people up for that kind of thing. I'm
- 46:11Speaker 8: doing it. Yeah. So that basically is, I mean, I
- 46:18Speaker 8: don't want to cut you short and pretend that it
- 46:21Speaker 8: was simple when it wasn't, but that was it. I
- 46:24Speaker 8: was there three weeks.
- 46:28Speaker 3: So in three weeks, you were healed. You go back
- 46:32Speaker 3: home to Detroit. Do you go back to the Mayo
- 46:34Speaker 3: Clinic at that point?
- 46:37Speaker 8: I did, but let me clear something up. I don't
- 46:39Speaker 8: think I was healed. That's why today you heard my
- 46:43Speaker 8: alarm go off, and I apologize. But my alarm was
- 46:46Speaker 8: to remind me that at 4 o'clock, I'm taking some
- 46:50Speaker 8: of these enzymes because I think these cancer cells are probably,
- 46:56Speaker 8: you know, the name for them are probably in everybody.
- 47:03Speaker 8: And it depends on outside forces, whether they get irritated
- 47:07Speaker 8: enough to shut the immune system down. When that happens,
- 47:12Speaker 8: now they grow like crazy and we need help. We
- 47:16Speaker 8: got to take, we're not an umbilical cord recipient at
- 47:19Speaker 8: that point.
- 47:21Speaker 3: So when you go back to the doctor, do they,
- 47:23Speaker 3: I guess they run tests, they would have to, Are
- 47:26Speaker 3: you cancer-free at that point, or is there a longer
- 47:30Speaker 3: period of time before you become cancer-free, or did you
- 47:33Speaker 3: become cancer-free? I guess that's a bunch of questions there.
- 47:37Speaker 8: Well, I had an oncologist measure my tumor markers, cancer markers,
- 47:44Speaker 8: and at one point they pronounced me in remission, which
- 47:50Speaker 8: incidentally is the most dangerous time in the life of
- 47:54Speaker 8: a cancer patient.
- 47:55Speaker 3: Why is that?
- 47:56Speaker 8: Because usually they go, well, I dodged that bullet. Good
- 48:01Speaker 8: to go, man. And they go back to the Diet
- 48:04Speaker 8: Coke and the burgers and the fried foods and the
- 48:09Speaker 8: long hours with no sleep, all of the above. And
- 48:14Speaker 8: then six months to nine months later, you see them
- 48:18Speaker 8: on Facebook going, you got to pray for me. It's back.
- 48:22Speaker 8: My liver's full of cancer. It's spreading to my spine.
- 48:25Speaker 8: I don't know what to do. Yeah, that never happened
- 48:29Speaker 8: to me because I was either didn't want to see Jesus,
- 48:35Speaker 8: wasn't in a hurry, or it's not that big. It's
- 48:39Speaker 8: not expensive. It's not that big a deal for me
- 48:43Speaker 8: to set my alarm and take some of these pills
- 48:45Speaker 8: during the day. It's no big deal. So I did
- 48:49Speaker 8: go back to the Mayo Clinic to answer your point blank. question.
- 48:54Speaker 8: Made an appointment about a year after I'd been to Tijuana. Came,
- 48:58Speaker 8: I'm shortening this, but I came through the door and
- 49:01Speaker 8: he went and he held his hand up to stop.
- 49:06Speaker 8: And so I stopped. I was walking toward his desk
- 49:10Speaker 8: and he said, I want you to know before we
- 49:12Speaker 8: start this conversation that nothing you did in Tijuana could
- 49:18Speaker 8: have had anything to do with this apparent recovery that
- 49:23Speaker 8: you've had.
- 49:23Speaker 3: What was it? Was it Jesus? Is that what he
- 49:26Speaker 3: was thinking? Was it a miracle?
- 49:28Speaker 8: I asked him because any normal person would go with that.
- 49:34Speaker 8: I said, so what do you think happened to me, Doc?
- 49:37Speaker 8: I don't look like I did when I was here.
- 49:40Speaker 8: Do I? He said, no, no, you sure don't. He said,
- 49:44Speaker 8: you had what we call a natural remission. In other words,
- 49:50Speaker 8: without provocation, not from us, not from them, your cancer
- 49:55Speaker 8: decided to leave your body.
- 49:57Speaker 3: The doctor was not willing to hear anything that you
- 50:00Speaker 3: had done in Tijuana. He didn't want to hear about it.
- 50:02Speaker 3: There had to be another explanation. It couldn't be the
- 50:05Speaker 3: things that you did.
- 50:07Speaker 8: So I said, well, how come I didn't naturally remit
- 50:11Speaker 8: when I was in Tijuana? I was in Rochester longer
- 50:15Speaker 8: than I was in Tijuana. And I just got worse
- 50:19Speaker 8: and worse and worse here. You said that yourself. And
- 50:23Speaker 8: there I got better and better and better. Now, you
- 50:27Speaker 8: don't see the correlation. He said, it's absolutely not possible.
- 50:35Speaker 8: I said, well, I know Tijuana. I know something about you, Doc.
- 50:40Speaker 8: You look like a bright guy, but looks can be deceiving.
- 50:44Speaker 8: Because if you were a real healer, you know what
- 50:46Speaker 8: you'd say? I don't know. But sit down and tell
- 50:51Speaker 8: me what the heck you did. I'll take notes and
- 50:54Speaker 8: then I'll do some research because something happened to you.
- 51:01Speaker 8: And I said, well, I'm not going to stick around
- 51:03Speaker 8: for that. I walked out the door because he wasn't interested.
- 51:08Speaker 3: Just like you did earlier in 1974.
- 51:11Speaker 8: That's exactly it. And today, we are no further ahead.
- 51:16Speaker 10: None.
- 51:17Speaker 8: We still use the same chemos, 5-FU, different kinds. 5-FU
- 51:23Speaker 8: is partially owned by the American Cancer Society. Do you
- 51:28Speaker 8: think our senators are the only people taking the piece
- 51:32Speaker 8: of the pie?
- 51:33Speaker 5: Oh, no.
- 51:33Speaker 3: Of course not. It's a huge... It is a huge
- 51:37Speaker 3: financial windfall for hospitals, for doctors. There's a huge market
- 51:44Speaker 3: there for cancer treatment.
- 51:47Speaker 4: Billions.
- 51:48Speaker 8: Or as our from Vermont would say, billions.
- 51:56Speaker 3: So let's talk about what you do today to remain healthy,
- 52:01Speaker 3: to stay cancer free. You have now retired and retired.
- 52:05Speaker 3: It's crazy, but you ended up in San Diego where
- 52:08Speaker 3: you took that flight to start your journey to Tijuana.
- 52:13Speaker 3: What do you do now?
- 52:14Speaker 8: My kids are here, and I'm working with a company
- 52:17Speaker 8: called Richardson Nutritional Center, rnc.com. And we sell these three
- 52:26Speaker 8: things and some other things. We even have pop rocks
- 52:30Speaker 8: that are infused with B-17. Yeah, I know. We're all crazy.
- 52:34Speaker 8: So those are the three. You can go on there
- 52:37Speaker 8: and type in the search bar, Rick, and they'll offer
- 52:41Speaker 8: you a special deal for these. And then they'll offer
- 52:45Speaker 8: you a free book, which guess who wrote that? I did.
- 52:49Speaker 3: And the name of that book is Too Young to Die, correct?
- 52:52Speaker 8: Look how thick it is. There's a scholar you have
- 52:56Speaker 8: on your show today. I mean, it's thin, man. And
- 53:00Speaker 8: big print and pictures.
- 53:02Speaker 3: Awesome.
- 53:02Speaker 8: But here's the deal.
- 53:03Speaker 3: That's my kind of book.
- 53:06Speaker 8: I'm not going to teach people math and science, but
- 53:10Speaker 8: I'll tell them stories. I'll make them laugh. I'll make
- 53:14Speaker 8: them see the ridiculousness of what we have turned our
- 53:18Speaker 8: backs on and in favor of what, you know? And
- 53:22Speaker 8: if they order that free book, the big thick 300 pager,
- 53:26Speaker 8: and they're willing, and that's on books on tape, I
- 53:29Speaker 8: think it's called. So if you're going to take a
- 53:31Speaker 8: long trip, at least buy that and kill the time
- 53:34Speaker 8: But tell you what, I've never had chemo. I've never
- 53:40Speaker 8: had radiation. Look at me. And I've never relapsed in 50,
- 53:46Speaker 8: almost 50. October is my 51st year. And you think
- 53:51Speaker 8: I haven't been paid a thousand times for the way
- 53:54Speaker 8: I've lived? I'm almost 75. I weigh 160 pounds. And
- 53:58Speaker 8: I don't take any prescriptions. I'm not doing this. I'm
- 54:06Speaker 8: saying I just did what they told me, and now
- 54:10Speaker 8: I'm reaping the benefits.
- 54:12Speaker 3: And here we are 50 years later. We're talking to
- 54:14Speaker 3: Rick Hall here tonight. Rick, thank you so much for
- 54:17Speaker 3: joining us. Give us the website again. The name of
- 54:20Speaker 3: his book is Too Young to Die. And give us
- 54:23Speaker 3: that Richardson Nutritional Center website one more time before you leave.
- 54:27Speaker 8: Thank you, sir. rncstore.com.
- 54:32Speaker 3: That big book is there as well?
- 54:34Speaker 8: That's there, but not for free. If they want to
- 54:37Speaker 8: order it online at myworldwithoutcancer.com, we'll send them the PDF,
- 54:42Speaker 8: electronic form.
- 54:44Speaker 1: Got it, got it.
- 54:45Speaker 8: If they want the paper book, that one they got
- 54:47Speaker 8: to pay about $ 35 for.
- 54:50Speaker 3: Well, Rick, thank you for coming on the program. We're
- 54:52Speaker 3: glad you're here 50-plus years later. Congratulations to that. Thank
- 54:57Speaker 3: you for telling your story. It's an incredible story. Thank
- 55:00Speaker 3: you for being on the program tonight.
- 55:02Speaker 8: You're welcome, and thank you for having me, sir.
- 55:04Speaker 1: There is only one truth. You've been listening to The
- 55:08Speaker 1: Truth Be Told with Booker Scott on America Out Loud.
