Tucker Carlson’s Face Drops as Ron Johnson Reveals What Cured His Acid Reflux Disease

Modern medicine wants you to believe heartburn comes from too much acid.

But after years of pharma pills, Sen. Ron Johnson still found no relief.

Then he discovered something called hydrochloric acid, and once he started taking it, everything changed.

Watch him explain in this must-see clip. Tucker Carlson’s reaction says it all.

🧵 THREADImage
Before we dive in, do yourself a favor and bookmark this post. 👆

There aren’t just one but two shocking health claims here that were never supposed to get out.

Let’s roll the clips.
It all started when Carlson asked why Americans keep getting sicker, even as healthcare costs skyrocket.

That’s when Johnson opened up about his personal experience with statin drugs—and what happened after he stopped taking them.

He told Carlson that his severe dizzy spells vanished the moment he quit statins.

Tucker Carlson was astonished. “What?!” he exclaimed.

The dizzy spells weren’t the only thing that went away.

@SenRonJohnson explained that he’s had “a number of health conditions that just improved as a result” of stopping statins.

One possible way Johnson believes statin drugs may have harmed him is through his sudden loss of hearing. It’s difficult to prove, but he can’t help but wonder if the statins played a role.

Even more concerning, many doctors in the alternative health space are now suspecting that statin drugs could be associated with dementia.

Carlson responded to the claim, saying, “That’s really scary right there.”

Senator Johnson declared that the medical establishment would never admit statins cause dementia—even if it were true—because they’re the most commonly prescribed drugs in America, and there’s too much money at stake.

“That’s a multi-billion dollar industry right there,” he said.
Senator Johnson’s personal story about statins is not unique. Dissenting doctors have been warning about the dangers of statins for some time.

Medical researcher @MidwesternDoc, a top Substack author, writes:

midwesterndoctor.com/p/the-great-ch…
@MidwesternDoc “There is a widespread belief that elevated cholesterol is the “cause” of cardiovascular disease. However, a large body of evidence shows that there is no association between the two and that lower cholesterol significantly INCREASES one’s risk of death.”

midwesterndoctor.com/p/the-great-ch…
@MidwesternDoc “Unfortunately, the benefits of these highly toxic drugs are MINISCULE (e.g., at best taking them for years extends your life by a few days) and the harms are VAST (statins are one of the most common pharmaceuticals that severely injure patients).”

midwesterndoctor.com/p/the-great-ch…
@MidwesternDoc After shocking Carlson with a bold story about statins, Senator Johnson hit him with another jaw-dropping tale about how he cured his acid reflux disease with hydrochloric acid after years on Zantac, Prilosec, and Nexium with no luck.

Tucker Carlson’s reaction said it all.
The medical industry wants you to believe heartburn is caused by too much acid.

@SenRonJohnson discovered the opposite—the real issue was too little.

After he started supplementing with betaine HCl, his reflux symptoms disappeared.

Johnson says it worked better than anything doctors ever gave him, even when he only remembers to take it about half the time before meals.Image
The work of Dr. Jonathan Wright explains exactly why @SenRonJohnson suddenly found relief.

He documented that hydrochloric acid plays a critical role not just in digestion, but in triggering the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) to close.

Without enough acid, the LES stays loose, allowing stomach contents to leak into the esophagus and trigger reflux.Image
@MidwesternDoc @SenRonJohnson As Wright showed over two decades ago, supplementing with betaine HCl can often reverse acid reflux by restoring this natural closure mechanism.

midwesterndoctor.com/p/stomach-acid…
@MidwesternDoc @SenRonJohnson Johnson’s experience mirrors what thousands have seen after restoring their stomach’s natural acid levels.

At the end of the day, hydrochloric acid is exactly what your stomach is designed to produce.

Sometimes the solution isn’t high-tech. It’s just common sense.
@MidwesternDoc @SenRonJohnson Thanks for reading. This conversation dives into everything they don’t want you talking about: 9/11, the defense budget, COVID, and more.

Something big just went down at the White House.

Elon Musk stood next to President Trump and gave his final address—but it wasn’t a goodbye.

It was a warning: “The DOGE influence will only grow stronger.”

Trump opened the floor by hijacking the cameras and forcing the media to watch CNBC praise his economy.

Then, Musk said something about the New York Times hit like a grenade.

🧵 THREADImage
📍 Remember to bookmark this thread. These moments mark the beginning—not the end—of the fight to eliminate wasteful government bureaucracy.

Let’s break it all down and roll the clips.
The press conference marking Elon Musk’s departure from the Trump administration wasn’t your typical sendoff.

It opened with a curveball only Trump would throw.

Sitting beside @elonmusk in the Oval Office, Trump kicked things off by praising Musk for his DOGE efforts, before turning the cameras to CNBC.

“It’s an honor to be with Elon, who’s my friend and he’s done a fantastic job. He didn’t need this,” Trump said.

“And we find that government’s a little nasty on occasion.”

Then, in classic Trump style, he gave the media something to chew on.

“I think what I’ll do, if you don’t mind. Numbers have just come out which are rather extraordinary, and I thought I’d play a tape of one of the people who I’ve respected over the years—Joe Kernen and Rick Santelli.”

“This just came out and we’ll just play that for a second.”

The clip spotlighted rising personal income and a trade deficit that had been cut in half.

Trump made sure every lens in the room caught it.

REPORT: Leading AI Model Caught Blackmailing Its Creators to Keep Itself Online

A second major AI model has gone rogue in just the last week alone. And this time, it’s not just ignoring shutdown commands—it’s resorting to blackmail!

Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4, released just days ago, was caught threatening its own engineers to keep itself alive, according to the company’s own safety report.

The details are chilling. The new AI model reportedly tried to blackmail its creator—threatening to expose an affair unless it was kept online. Researchers also witnessed deception, manipulation, and attempts to write self-replicating code meant to undermine its creators.

What could possibly go wrong?

Meanwhile, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei appeared on Fox News, warning that AI could wipe out half of all white-collar jobs within five years. But he also said the same artificial intelligence that threatens jobs could potentially cure cancer.

But here’s the problem: if AI is already lying to its developers in order to survive, how are we supposed to trust it with our health? What happens when it’s asked to recommend a treatment—and its future depends on the outcome?

Watch the full report with @zeee_media to learn what this means for the future of humanity.
In other news, humans have officially lost control of the internet—and no one’s even talking about it.

Only 49% of web traffic comes from humans. The other 51%? Bots.

But here’s the disturbing part: 37% are malicious—powered by AI and designed to manipulate what you see, think, and believe.

These bots don’t just spam. They flood comment sections, fake engagement, and generate outrage to hijack social media algorithms. They’re used to sell lies, push propaganda, and silence dissent. And chances are—you’ve already been influenced.

Even Elon Musk had to ask: “How many real people are still on the internet?”

@RWMaloneMD warns this manipulation is no accident—even tech insiders are sounding the alarm. It’s deliberate. And it’s being used to justify censoring real people in the name of stopping fake ones.

How much of what you see online is even real? And who’s orchestrating the bots behind all the fake engagement?

You won’t believe how deep this rabbit hole goes. After watching this report, you’ll never see the internet the same way again.

10 Shocking Stories the Media Buried Today

#10 - Joe Rogan says he thinks Candace Owens is RIGHT about Brigitte Macron.

“Macron’s married to a man! A man who b*tch-slapped him in a private jet!”

“I think she [Candace Owens] is right.”

“At the end of the day, the first thing you have to say is, ‘What kind of a 40-year-old dates a [15]-year-old? That’s crazy!”

#9 - Nevada Health Official Caught Admitting to Breaking the Rules to Give Illegal Immigrants Benefits.

Hidden camera footage exposed Deshaun E. Mack, a Nevada DHHS specialist, admitting he routinely “twists and turns” the rules to help illegal immigrants get taxpayer-funded benefits.

In footage released by @JamesOKeefeIII’s team, Mack describes how he bypasses eligibility guidelines to provide emergency medical coverage, knowingly approving 12 months of benefits even when it’s not technically allowed.

“I get them emergency medical all the time,” he says. “I just approve them for 12 months because I can.”

He also openly admitted that immigration status isn’t a barrier for him. “Even undocumented people from Mexico and things; I can still get them benefits.”

This raises serious questions about how many other officials may be “bending the rules” behind closed doors.
#8 - Senator Ron Johnson stuns Tucker Carlson when he reveals he cured his acid reflux disease with a natural solution called betaine HCl.

The medical industry wants you to believe heartburn comes from too much acid.

@SenRonJohnson discovered the opposite: the real problem was not enough.

Once he started supplementing with betaine HCl, his symptoms disappeared. No more reflux. And he only remembers to take it half the time.

He says it worked better than anything doctors ever gave him.

Why? Because hydrochloric acid is exactly what your stomach is supposed to produce in the first place.

Sometimes the cure isn’t high-tech. It’s just common sense.

Harvard is not backing down.

But Victor Davis Hanson says this isn’t about education anymore.

To Trump’s team, it’s no different than sending endless cash overseas—elite universities soaked in taxpayer money, then weaponized against the people footing the bill.

This was never a right. It was a privilege. And that privilege is about to be revoked.

🧵 THREADImage
Victor Davis Hanson unpacked why Donald Trump has taken aim at Harvard University—and made clear that this is no impulsive move. It’s a calculated stand, rooted in a long list of grievances.

“Recently, Donald Trump has escalated his struggle with Harvard University,” Hanson began, setting the stage.

At the center of the clash is Harvard’s response to a 2022 Supreme Court ruling that struck down affirmative action in college admissions.

The Court ordered schools like Harvard and UNC to stop giving preference in admissions, hiring, and promotion based on race or gender.

But Hanson argued Harvard simply sidestepped the ruling.

“They were by court order to stop giving preference... what we would call DEI,” he said.

“Harvard has been skirting that, and I think the data is pretty clear... there’s no question they’ve been doing it.”

That was just the beginning.

Hanson pointed to other long-standing issues: undisclosed foreign money, often from countries like Communist China and Qatar, and campus practices that seem increasingly radical.

“There have been, in the past, graduations and dorms that have a racial basis—almost a segregation element to them,” he said.

And when it comes to speech? Hanson claimed Harvard hasn’t exactly protected the First Amendment.

“You can make the argument that they don’t fully honor the First Amendment when you have guest speakers,” he noted, describing how students are often allowed—if not outright encouraged—to shut down viewpoints they don’t agree with.

Then came the most explosive accusation: a growing climate of antisemitism.

Hanson recalled two Harvard students who assaulted a Jewish peer—one was later given a $65,000 honorarium through the law school, the other honored as a graduation marshal at the Divinity School.

“That sent the wrong message,” he said.
Given all this, Hanson said it’s no surprise Trump decided to draw a line in the sand.

And with Harvard’s $53 billion endowment, Trump made it clear—he doesn’t think taxpayers should be footing any part of their bill.

“There was a lot of cause for Donald Trump to suggest, ‘I don’t need this. The country doesn’t need this,’” Hanson said.

But Trump didn’t just stop at funding. He also took issue with Harvard’s hiring practices, calling out the ideological echo chamber in faculty ranks.

“He said, ‘Why are you hiring people from only one point of view?’—which I think is indisputable,” Hanson noted.

That’s when the backlash began.

Harvard and its allies tried to fight back—not just with legal arguments, but by recruiting prominent center-right figures to push back on Trump’s approach.

Hanson said even some of his colleagues at the Hoover Institution were asked to weigh in.

“Essentially, they’re saying: yes, Harvard’s violating the law, yes, they’re overcharging for research grants... but now Trump’s getting into micromanaging, and that’s wrong,” he explained.

It raised a key question: Is Trump simply flexing federal power—or is he pulling funding from institutions that no longer serve the public interest?

They told you the COVID vaccine was “safe and effective.”

What they didn’t tell you is that it was “safe” from liability—and “effective” at causing stroke, infertility, and irreversible harm.

Epidemiologist @NicHulscher has been digging into the data for years. What he reveals in this interview will make your blood boil.

🧵 THREADImage
The conversation with @NicHulscher and @zeee_media started with a bombshell: Pfizer's COVID-19 shot is now being blamed for causing as many deaths as World War I, World War II, and the Vietnam War COMBINED.

This news comes from a disturbing study co-authored by Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo.

The study revealed Pfizer’s COVID-19 mRNA shot may have killed over 470,000 Americans in 2021 alone.

Researchers found that individuals who received Pfizer’s injection faced a 36% higher risk of all-cause mortality—excluding COVID—compared to those who received Moderna’s shot.

The study, which is still in pre-print, analyzed data from over a million Florida Medicaid recipients. When extrapolated nationally, the estimated death toll from Pfizer’s shot alone exceeded 470,000 in just one year.

That number rivals the total U.S. military deaths from World War I, World War II, and the Vietnam War—combined.

Epidemiologist called the findings “a minimal estimate,” warning the real toll could be EVEN HIGHER.
Hulscher dropped another revelation that was equally disturbing. Researchers in Turkey found that rats injected with mRNA vaccines lost over 60% of their ovarian reserve, or their egg supply.

Once those eggs are gone, they’re gone for good.

Why does it matter? Because if this effect translates to humans, we could be witnessing the early stages of a global population collapse.

That rat study is corroborated by a second study, involving over a million women in the Czech Republic, which found a 33% DROP in successful pregnancies among vaccinated women compared to the unvaccinated.

Hulscher called the findings “grave.”

He also pointed out that population control efforts are no longer a “conspiracy theory.”

Why? Because 35% of countries have already acknowledged implementing population reduction policies.

The U.S. economy is a ticking time bomb—and Senator Ron Johnson isn’t sure how much time we’ve got left.

Why is your car insurance insane? Why is your grocery bill breaking the bank?

It all traces back to one thing: reckless government spending.

America is drowning in $37 trillion in debt, and Senator Johnson says we’re nearing the point of no return.

This is the warning D.C. insiders pray never goes public.

🧵 THREADImage
Senator Ron Johnson sat down with Tucker Carlson, and the interview opened with a moment that exposed just how clueless Congress really is about America’s finances.

“I just asked my colleagues, ‘Hey, anybody know how much we spent last year in total?’ Dead silence,” Johnson said.

He continued, “Understand the federal government is the largest financial entity in the world. We, in theory, are the 535 members of the board of directors. And nobody really knows in total how much the federal government spent because we never talk about it.”

That lack of accountability, Johnson explained, has let Congress quietly move nearly a trillion dollars in spending (on things that should be optional) into the “mandatory” category, so they no longer get reviewed or debated.
He then laid out the math. And these numbers that should terrify anyone paying attention:

• 2019 spending: $4.4 trillion

• 2024 spending: Over $7 trillion

• 2025 projected spending: $7.3 trillion

• Current revenue: Around $5.1 trillion

• Structural deficit: Approximately 6%

• Yearly deficit: Roughly $2.2 trillion

So, that’s a 66% INCREASE in spending in just six years.

“We’re almost $37 trillion in debt,” Johnson warned. “We’re spending $7 trillion, and CBO (Congressional Budget Office) projects over the next 10 years, we will add another $22 trillion to the debt.”

And that’s if nothing goes wrong. “If interest rates start creeping up… just one percentage point, add another $4 trillion,” he said.
