NEIL: YOU KNOW THEY SAY ONE OUT
OF THREE AMERICANS KNOWS SOMEONE
WHO HAS TO COME TO THE
CORONAVIRUS, COVID-19, BUT THREE
OUT OF THREE AMERICANS I WOULD
WAGER KNOW WHO HERMAN CAIN WAS.
HE PASSED AWAY A VICTIM OF THAT
DISEASE AFTER TESTING POSITIVE
FOR IT LESS THAN A MONTH AGO.
HE HAS LEFT THE WORLD STAGE AND
HE WAS A VERY LOUD VOICE AND A
FRIENDLY VOICE AT THAT ON THE
WORLD STAGE, OVER THE MANY, MANY
YEARS I KNEW HIM, DATING BACK TO
DECADES AGO WHEN HE WAS A
POWERHOUSE IN THE FAST-FOOD
INDUSTRY.
HE HAD A WAY OF COMMUNICATING
HIS POINT WITHOUT GETTING
OBNOXIOUS ABOUT IT.
ARE YOU GOING TO RUN FOR
PRESIDENT?
>> YOU’RE ONE OF MY CLOSEST
FRIENDS.
I BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF PRAYER
AND I WANT PEOPLE TO KEEP
PRAYING AND NO, I DIDN’T ANSWER
YOUR QUESTION.
NEIL: NO YOU DID NOT.
I THINK YOU’RE RUNNING FOR
PRESIDENT?
>> I BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF --
THAT IS MY STORY AND --
NEIL: JESUS JUST TOLD ME YOU’RE
RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT.
>> TELL HIM TO CONTACT ME.
THAT WOULD BE THE ONLY REASON I
WOULD DO IT.
NEIL: YOU HAVE A VERY LUCRATIVE
LIFE.
YOU’RE A BIG TALK SHOW.
MAYBE THIS IS THE NEXT STEP.
YOU ARGUE POLITICIANS ON RIGHT
AND LEFT HAVEN’T BEEN DOING WHAT
THEY SHOULD.
>> THE ONLY REASON THAT THIS IS,
EVEN, EVEN A CONSIDERATION IS
THE FACT THAT I WENT --
NEIL: IT’S A CONSIDERATION.
>> EVEN.
NEIL: IT IS A CONSIDERATION.
>> THAT I WENT THROUGH A BOUGHT
WITH CANCER AS YOU KNOW.
NEIL: YOU DID.
>> WHEN I WAS ABLE TO RECOVER
FROM STAGE 4 CANCER, STAGE 4
CANCER, I HAD ONLY 10% CHANCE
BEING ALIVE TODAY.
I’M 100% CANCER FREE FOR THREE
YEARS, 15 MONTHS, 15 DAYS.
NEIL: CONGRATULATIONS.
>> I’M A VERY FAITH DRIVEN
PERSON AS YOU KNOW, I SIMPLY
SAID GOD SAID, NOT YET.
I DON’T THINK HE KEPT ME HERE TO
JUST PLAY GOLF.
THAT IS STILL UNFOLDING.
NEIL: I HEAR YOU’RE A LOUSY
GOLFER.
IT CAN’T BE TO PLAY GOLF.
WHEN YOU ANNOUNCE IT FOR
PRESIDENT, WILL YOU ANNOUNCE IT
ON "HANNITY"’S SHOW OR MINE?
>> KEEP PRAYING, NEIL.
NEIL: YOU HEARD HIM SAY MY SHOW,
RIGHT?
[CHEERING]
>> YOU ARE GETTING ME IN
TROUBLE.
NEIL: ALL RIGHT.
YOU HAD A LOT OF TIME, INDUSTRY,
FORTUNE BUILT IN THE FAST-FOOD
WORLD AND YOU NEVER GOT FAT.
THEY’RE NOT GOING TO BELIEVE
THAT.
I DON’T BELIEVE IT.
>> NEIL, FIRST OF ALL, YOU
CONTINUE TO BELIEVE THIS MYTH
THAT I MADE A FORTUNE.
REMEMBER I HAD A SMALL COMPANY.
IT WAS A SMALL CHAIN.
NEIL: OKAY.
YOU’RE RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT
NOW.
I CAN LOOK IT UP.
BUT YOU DIDN’T GET HEAVY.
DID YOU JUST EXERCISE MORE?
>> I JUST CONTROLLED MY INTAKE
IN ALL HONESTY.
I KNOW WHEN TO STOP AFTER TWO
SLICES.
NEIL: LET ME KNOW WHAT THAT IS
LIKE.
SOME.
>> SOME PEOPLE CAN’T STOP AT TWO
SLICES.
THAT IS NOT MY FAULT.
NEIL: I DESERVE THAT.
HERMAN, YOU’RE A DEEPLY
RELIGIOUS MAN, YOU HAVE TO FEEL
A LITTLE BITTER.
YOU WERE LIKE MOSES.
TALKING ABOUT THIS STUFF FOUR
YEARS AGO, WHEN NO ONE WASN’T,
NO ONE WAS, NOW THEY ARE.
THEY’RE TRIPPING OVER EACH OTHER
ON SAME THING, LOWER TAXES GO
BETTER, THE BETTER, DO YOU FEEL
ROBBED.
>> NO, I DON’T.
NEIL: COME ON, HERMAN, TALK TO
ME.
>> BEING THE RELIGIOUS MAN THAT
YOU SAID I AM, AND I AM, I
BELIEVE THERE IS GOD’S PLAN AND
THEN THERE IS YOUR PLAN.
MY PLAN.
NEIL: I LIKE THAT.
>> MY PLAN WAS NINE NINE NINE.
BUT GOD HAS ANOTHER PLAN.
IN MY PERSPECTIVE, I DON’T FEEL
ROBBED.
I AM ELATED THAT THEY ARE
PUTTING, REPLACING THE TAX CODE
ON THE FRONT BURNER.
NEIL: MR. NINE NINE NINE
HIMSELF.
WHETHER YOU AGREE, DISAGREE, HE
WAS WAY, WAY AHEAD OF THIS
SIMPLER TAX SYSTEM.
HE REALLY WAS.
A LOT OF PEOPLE SAY HE PAVEED
WAY FOR ONE DONALD TRUMP.
HE PUT MESSAGE OUT TO ALL
REPUBLICANS, WE JUST GOT TO MAKE
THINGS SIMPLER.
BUT HE NEVER DID IT WITH ANY
NASTINESS.
WITHOUT ANY CUTTING THAT YOU SEE
IN SOCIETY TODAY.
WHERE BOTH SIDES ARE AT EACH
OTHER’S THROATS.
LIBERALS LIKED HIM.
CONSERVATIVES LOVED HIM.
HE WAS ADMIRED BY EVERYBODY.
A GUY WHO ROSE FROM NOTHING TO
BECOME THE KING OF GODFATHER’S
PIZZA.
LATER ON AS A VERY PROMISING
CANDIDATE IN HIS OWN RIGHT FOR
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES,
ALL THE WAY TO SUCCESSFUL RADIO
CAREER THAT WAS JUST NOW
ROCKETING.
IRONY OF IT ALL.
SO COMING TO A DISEASE THAT MANY
THOUGHT WE WERE ON THE UP SWING
FROM, AND GETTING BETTER.
NOT FOR HERMAN.
DIAGNOSE AD LITTLE MORE THAN A
FEW WEEKS AGO, TESTING POSITIVE
FOR THE VIRUS AND LAST NIGHT
SUCCUMBING TO IT.
HERMAN CAIN GONE AT 74.
WE WILL MISS HIM, REGARDLESS OF
