If you want to see Fox just absolutely lose it. Bring up Donald Trump's accelerating cognitive decline. If you even raise the question, they have a utter freak out. So when I had Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries on the Midas Touch Network earlier this week, I asked him, do you think it's a fair question that we raise Donald Trump's cognitive decline as a significant issue right now? And he goes, when he travels the country, he gets the question frequently. And he said, looking at Donald Trump's conduct, he understands why people are raising that issue with him and he says he thinks it's a fair question. So throughout the entire day yesterday, Fox was focused on why would Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries ever bring this up? And he should be talking about former President Biden. Just take a look over here at this chiron. It says Jeffries, fair to question Trump's mental acuity. Then like on the Will Kane show, they brought on Democratic Congressmember Dan Goldman and they asked Congressmember Goldman, come on, come on, Congressman, how could you ever possibly raise an issue about Donald Trump's mental issues? How could you ever do that? Watch what Democratic Congressmember Goldman said in response. Play this clip.

Will Kane
I could debate you on each and every one of those things you just laid out, but I don't think you can call it whatever you want. I think that's an incorrect statement, Congressman. I think words have meaning and they matter. And I think you know that. I think we have to be careful with our words, especially if we're not trying inflame the public and most certainly for trying to arrive at the truth. And after four years of having us gaslighted over the competency, the, the mental acuity of the previous president, it's absurd to question. Even if you disagree, Congressman, and clearly you do with much of the president, the competency of the sitting president today, I think the accuracy and truth of those words do matter. Well, I don't think he's competent, Will. I don't know what to tell you, whether his cognitive abilities are sufficient to get past the 25th amendment.

Ben Meiselas
You know, we don't know that right now.
- [02:00]
Will Kane
But I think what is clear is that he has driven our country into a disastrous economy. He has undermining the fundamental rule of law and democracy. He is taking away benefits in order to cut taxes for the rich. I think even you, Will, would have to agree with me that this first hundred days is not at all what he promised the American people. No, I'm sorry to notify you, I do not agree with you. I think this first hundred days is exactly what he promised the American people and more importantly, exactly what I loved.

How Congress member Goldman said that. Look, it seems pretty obvious that Donald Trump is having cognitive issues. Now you can go back to 2019 when Donald Trump took this secret trip to Walter Reed. There were many people at the time that were suspecting that Donald Trump may have been experiencing mini strokes because right around the time and thereafter he really started slurring his words. And there are lots of people who opined on that. And I'll talk about that in a moment. And I want to be very clear, I'm not a medical doctor. I've taken a look at what medical doctors have said and opinions that they've given. I'm just expressing my opinion right now. But it seems this is a very sensitive topic for FOX and also for like Donald Trump's communications director in the White House, Steve Chung. So just take a look at what Steve Chung posted this past week. He goes CNN had this blithering idiot on Inside Politics from the Daily Beast named Joanna Coles making unsubstantiated claim claims about President Trump's health. Joanna is a piece of shit, clearly suffering from a debilitating case of Trump derangement syndrome rotting her pea sized brain. So I went to see like what did Joanna calls from the Daily Beast even say when she was interviewed? And I'll play the clip for you. She basically said like not a lot. Here, watch this clip.

Joanna Coles
Donald Trump in a blue suit when we know he has a black suit because he was wearing a black suit the last time he met the Pope. So why wasn't he wearing it this time? Lots of suspicion because he's lost a lot of weight. Who knows how he's lost weight? We know that Robert Kennedy Jr. His health minister, doesn't approve of people taking Ozempic because he thinks it shows a lack of moral power. So who knows how Trump has lost weight, but I found the suit color very interesting.

Ben Meiselas
So if you see what's happening here, you've got Fox and Donald Trump's communications director Steven Chung. They're kind of telling on themselves here, right, that this is a very sensitive issue for them. So go back now to 2019 for a second when Donald Trump took that visit to Walter Reed. And I want to share this with you. This was a doctor that CNN had, a guy by the name of Dr. David Shiner. He was President Obama's former doctor and they had him on CNN to talk about. And this was in Donald Trump's first administration to talk about whether or not Donald Trump was having many strokes or whether there was some cognitive issues there. Play this clip his inability to say.
- [05:02]
Joanna Coles
Words sometimes worries me tremendously. He is having trouble word finding when he said United instead of United States. These aren't words, these aren't slips of the tongue. These are words. He can't find them. And this is happening over and over again. Comedians joke about it, but it's not a joking matter. I think there is a neurological issue that is not being addressed. And if he had an MRI of his head over there, I would be very pleased because I think he needs it. Is that something that could have happened.
- [05:31]
Ben Meiselas
In the two hour time he was there there?
- [05:33]
Joanna Coles
Yes, it certainly could. And it's the worry that I have is that maybe he's having small strokes. And you know, we had that once before in the White House when Woodrow Wilson was president. He, his inability to find words is, is peculiar and has not been explained. And I think one has to think of it as a possible neurological issue.
- [05:55]
Ben Meiselas
Now, I think it's important to note when we talk about Donald Trump's accelerating cognitive decline, I want to be very careful because I also don't want Don Trump to use that as an out to avoid accountability one day and say, oh, it was because I had physical issues. This is why I behave the way I did, as Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries told me. You know, it also is just the truth that Donald Trump is a total liar in every single thing that Donald Trump does. So whether it's because Donald Trump is experiencing severe cognitive decline or he's just a total liar, or both, you know, that all can be the case. Here's what Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries told me this week when I interviewed him. Here, play this clip. Donald Trump spent the last year and a half questioning the cognitive ability of President Joe Biden. Notwithstanding many of the legislative accomplishments that Donald Trump could only wish he got over the finish line. And so I think it's fair that a lot of Americans across the country that I run into are questioning whether Donald Trump is actually fit at this point to be able to carry out the duties of the United States of America in terms of being the president and the commander in chief.

Now, going back to the incident at Walter Reed when you had Ronnie Jackson, now Congressmember Jackson from, from Texas when he was Trump's doctor, here's what he said when he was asked about Donald Trump potentially having mini strokes at that time. Here, play this clip.
- [08:55]
Joanna Coles
Yes, there was an incident recently where the President appeared to slur his words.
- [09:00]
Ben Meiselas
While giving an address.
- [09:02]
Joanna Coles
Did you look into what the cause of that might have been at all?
- [09:05]
Ben Meiselas
I did, yeah, we talked about that. And actually one of my ENT consultants was involved in that.
- [09:12]
Joanna Coles
We evaluated him, we checked, we checked.
- [09:13]
Ben Meiselas
Everything out and every.
- [09:15]
Will Kane
Everything was normal.

Ben Meiselas
We even went so far as to do an ultrasound of his parotid glands and a few other things. And there was absolutely no, you know, clinical findings that would suggest. I think the reason for that was quite. I'm not sure if you remember Donald. Donald Trump had to put out statements back then denying that he had a series of mini strokes. And here's the statement that was. That was made by another doctor, Dr. Sean P. Conley. Donald Trump has asked that I, Dr. Sean Connelly, physician to the President, address the recent public comments regarding his health. I can confirm that President Trump has not experienced, nor evaluate, nor been evaluated for strokes, mini strokes, or any acute cardiovascular emergencies as have been incorrectly reported in the media. The president remains healthy, and I have no concerns about his ability to maintain the rigorous schedule ahead of him. As stated in my last report. I expect him to remain fit to execute the duties of the president. But do you notice that nobody really talks about that anymore today except here on the Midas Touch Network? One of the red flags that I think exist as well is if you take a look at Donald Trump's recent physical that was released a few weeks back, the way it described that he was in good health, as it said he's in good health, as evidenced by his frequent victories in golf events, it said it also claimed he was like 6, 3, 2, 20, which he obviously isn't. But again, you know, you go back because the past really kind of informs, I think, how we need to look at it today. And Donald Trump's doctor back in 2015, 2016, who's no longer alive, Dr. Harold Borenstein, who was a gastroenterologist. He did Trump's doctor Note back in 2015. And this was Trump's doctor note or medical report back when Trump was running for office the first time. It says, to whom my concern, not to whom may concern, to whom my concern. And then as you read through it, it talks about how Donald Trump's physical was astonishingly excellent. He was extraordinary. And then it says he will be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency. And it's signed over here by Dr. Harold Borenstein, a gastroenterologist. I mean, obviously, to whom my concern is red flag number one. Two, why is a gastroenterologist writing this report? Three, using language over and over again like the most astonishingly excellent person and saying he will be the healthiest individual ever. One of the things we know as well is that Donald Trump sent people back in 2018 to raid Dr. Harold Bornstein's office. Let me just show you what Dr. Harold Bornstein said on May 1, 2018 about Trump sending goons to raid his office. Here, play this clip exactly. Were they looking for all his medical.

Joanna Coles
Records, his pictures, anything they could find? They must have been here for 25 or 30 minutes. Created a lot of chaos. I couldn't believe anybody was making a big deal about a drug that's to grow, to grow his hair, which seemed to be so important. And it certainly is not a breach of medical trust to tell somebody they take Propecia to grow their hair. What's the matter with that?
- [12:39]
Ben Meiselas
Then Another thing that Dr. Harold Borenstein told CNN was that Donald Trump was actually the person who wrote his own physical. That medical note that I just read was actually written by Donald Trump and not Dr. Harold Borenstein. Let me just play a clip of CNN reporting what Dr. Harold Borenstein told him in May of 2018. Let's play this clip right here.
- [13:02]
Will Kane
We ran into Dr. Harold Borenstein right out, right here, right outside his office on Park Avenue. And he told us in no uncertain terms. And this is the quote, Aaron, he dictated, he being Trump, he dictated that whole letter. I didn't write that letter, meaning that Trump dictated what he wanted to go into it. And essentially Bornstein wrote it up. He did say he compared it to the movie Fargo. And he said it takes the truth and moves it in a different direction. Think about that. Now, Bornstein tells us that he was in a car with his wife when he was on the phone with then candidate Trump in December of 2015, and she was going through with Trump what he could say and what he couldn't say. Trump was dictating what he wanted in that letter. And Bornstein was saying, okay, you can say that. You can't say that. He then came here to the office. He wrote it up. Trump's office later picked it up. He said around 4pm Aaron, we have reached out to the White House, but we've not gotten a response.

And so let me just show you a portion of that interview one more time that has since gone very viral of Terry Moran from ABC and Donald Trump in the Oval Office, where Donald Trump believes that what was clearly photoshopped on Abrego Garcia's hands, the letters Ms. 13 are like clearly like computer typed font. And it's not the tattoos, but Donald Trump is arguing. And I want you to watch Donald Trump's just physical behavior. I want you to view it from a kind of psychological perspective as you're watching him and just the weird stuff he's doing with his body and his face and the way he's looking at Terry Moran and saying, no, Terry, no, Terry, that's real. It says Ms. 13. I see it, Terry, you're wrong, Terry. The way he's like looking and trying to intimidate Terry Moran, the fact that he thinks that it actually says Ms. 13 with the letters Mississippi and the numbers 1, 3. It doesn't. And it's not just that, that it's also him making up fake conversations that never happened with China and saying that he's speaking to Xi Jinping. It's Donald Trump lying About saying he's done 200 deals. There's only 193 countries. Donald Trump talking about Donald Trump tariffing penguins. You know, Donald Trump's. The way Donald Trump looked and behaved at Pope Francis's funeral. I mean, we can see this thing with our own eyes, right? I mean, here Donald Trump is at. In the Oval Office. Interview with Terry Moran from abc. Here, play this clip.
- [15:34]
Joanna Coles
He wasn't a member of a gang. And then they looked, and on his knuckles he had MS.13. There's a dispute. Wait a minute, wait a minute. He had MS.13 on his knuckles. He had some tattoos that are interpreted that way. But let's move on. Wait a minute. He did not have the letter MS.1 3. It says MS.13. That was Photoshop. So let me. That was Photoshopped, Terry. You can do that. Hey, they're giving you the big break of a lifetime. You know, you're doing the interview. I picked you because, frankly, I never heard of you. But that's okay. I picked you, Terry, but you're not being very nice. He had ms.13 tattoo. We'll agree to disagree. I want to move on to something else. Terry, do you want me to show you the picture? I saw the picture. Well, here we go. Here we go. Don't Photoshop it. Go look at his hand. He did have tattoos that can be interpreted that way. I'm not an expert on them. I want to turn to Ukraine. No, no, no, no. He had Ms. As clear as you can be not interpreted. This is why people no longer believe. Well, the news. Because when he was photographed in El Salvador. In El Salvador. They aren't there, but let's just go. They aren't there when he's in El Salvador. Oh, they were there now, right? No, but they're in your picture, Terry. Ukraine, sir. He's got MS.13 on his knuckles. All right, okay, we'll take a look. It's. You do such a disservice. We'll take a look. Why don't you just say, yes, he does and, you know, go on to something else contested.
- [17:02]
Ben Meiselas
Right? And then what does Donald Trump consistently keep on talking about when he's on Air Force One and he's usually coming back from golf after a weekend of golfing. He keeps talking about taking physical exams and acing cognitive tests. He keeps doing that against. I pass cognitive tests. Here, play this clip time ago, the yearly physical.
- [17:25]
Joanna Coles
I think I did well. I think they're releasing the report on Sunday. Doctors, highly respected doctors. Great guys. Great. Amazing place. Actually, did they give you any suggestions or advice on anything. You need to change up a little bit. But overall, I think I'm in very. I felt I was in very good shape. Good heart, a good soul. Very good soul. And I took, I wanted to be a little different than I took a cognitive test that I don't know what to tell you other than I got every answer right.
- [18:03]
Ben Meiselas
And then of course, you remember during the campaign he would say over and over again that people keep saying he's cognitively impaired. He's cognitively impaired. Here, play this clip.
- [18:14]
Joanna Coles
They're saying he's cognitively impaired and physically impaired. There's something wrong with them all because I have guys that is stupid back there. All right, what are you going to do? What are you going to do? Right. What a shame. But we're going to come back, I'm going to give you a free performance back in that corner. You got a bad area back there. But I think this is better. I think it's probably better, you know.
- [18:39]
Ben Meiselas
I, I think about what Senator Bernie Sanders told me, and he said, you know, Ben, sometimes the things that are kind of most obvious and are most glaring are the things that are discussed the least. And I think if you put all the puzzle pieces together and go, okay, corporate news isn't reporting on this, that's kind of strange because it seems pretty obvious Fox gets very worried the moment it's mentioned and devote a ton of coverage to trying to swat it down. You had Donald Trump's communications director, Stephen Chung, like, freak out when Joanna Coles basically said, like, nothing even that significant about Donald Trump's health. And we just observe his behavior right now, as I said before, I don't want this to be used as an out for Donald Trump to one day avoid accountability. And I don't want to just try to blame his disgusting behavior on, on a physical issue because, but because there could be complex explanations because he's still vile and he's still disgusting. But I think it's something that needs to be talked about more. I'm going to use the platform to talk about Donald Trump's declining cognitive issues more. But you see that it certainly is very worrisome to Fox. Anyway, let me know what you think. Hit subscribe. Let's get to 5 million subscribers. The truth is more important than ever.
