That right there is a group of Peru shamans meeting in Lima high on ayahuasca, and they've made a major prediction. They believe Donald Trump will fall devastatingly ill in 2026. And these shamans have a past of making solid predictions. They predicted a former leader of of Peru was going to die, and then he ended up dying of cancer. Reuters is covering it, the Associated Press is covering that. So I guess we'll cover it here too on the Midas Touch Network. But we've been covering Donald Trump's cognitive decline here on the Midas Touch Network. We've been showing you his physical and cognitive deterioration, the way his hands look like they are completely rotting. So at Reuters is reporting Peru shamans foretell illness for Donald Trump and Maduro's exile in 2026 could pull up some of the B roll right now of these shamans high on ayahuasca in Lima. They're right by the sea, the right by the ocean over there. This is where they make their annual predictions. Shamans in Peru gathered for an annual New Year's ritual on Monday where they made prediction for the year to come, including illness for Donald Trump and the downfall of Venezuelan counterpart Nicolas Maduro. The United States should prepare itself because Donald Trump will fall seriously ill, Juan de Dios Garcia proclaimed as he gathered with other shamans on a beach in southern Lima. Wearing colorful ponchos and sprinkling flowers on the sand, these shamans carried large posters of world leaders over which they crossed swords, burned incense, and some of which they stomped on. And as well as Trump and Maduro, shamans wave posters of Russian President Putin, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Ukrainian President Zelensky. We will see Nicolas Maduro defeated, said Garcia. Although he will not be captured, he will go into exile, these shamans predicted. Closer to home, Garcia predicted that Keiko Fujimori, the daughter of former President Alberto Fujimori, was will emerge victorious in Peru's presidential election after three failed bids. The woman who dreams of ruling Peru. I have been able to see through the wakuma, the ancestral plant that Eco Fujumori will be president in 2026, one of the shaman said. Back in December 2023, there was a prediction made that the former Peruvian President Alberto Fujimori would die within the next 12 months. Fujimori died of cancer on September 11, 2024. This is the primary and most frequently cited successful prediction confirmed across multiple reliable sources like ap, Reuters and abc. Now, before Monday's ceremony, the shamans meant to drink hallucinogenic concoctions derived from Native plants, ayahuasca and the San Pedro cactus, which are believed to give them the powers to predict the during the ceremony, in case you were wondering, they place blankets with yellow flowers, coca leaves, swords and other objects on Laharadura beach, asking for positive energy for the New Year. In case you were wondering, after dancing in circles and playing ancestral instruments, these shamans asked for peace in the Middle east, an end to the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, and the fall of Maduro. The prayers to the gods, performed amid flowers and incense, as well as dances, are intended to encourage leaders to make good decisions. Now, while the shamans were engaged in that, what has Donald Trump been doing as they predicted his serious physical illness? You have Donald Trump posting a photo like this. Windmills are killing our beautiful bald eagles. Well, those are in our windmills. And that is not a bald eagle. This is from Haaretz. This is in Israel. We wind turbines in Israel kill many more birds, bats than expected. That's not a bald eagle. It's a falcon. And it's a wind turbine in Israel. But Donald Trump doesn't care. He's been posting post after post about windmills, and he absolutely hates them. And he wants everybody to know that heading into the New Years, Donald Trump is also attacking the Kennedy family. Today, on a day that's also deeply tragic for the Kennedy family. And our heart goes out to them. After losing a loved one to a battle of cancer, Donald Trump keeps on saying, oh, the Trump Kennedy center is what it should be called. And he said, the Kennedys don't even raise money for it. They never show up. And the only Kennedy who has been there recently is a member of Trump's cabinet. And then they, he keeps on attacking the Kennedys over and over again because the Kennedys don't want it to be renamed unlawfully and vandalized as the Trump Kennedy Center. But it's been post after post for Donald Trump. Now, look, Trump obviously looks very ill. His hands are discolored. I've been doing reports where I've showed you how it's not just his right hand anymore, it's his left hand as well. And when you zoomed in on that left hand, there appeared to be a injection site where the IVs may be going in. Again, I'm giving you my opinion. I'm no shaman, but I can give you my opinion on personally what I'm observing. Take a listen here. This, this was a super cut that just aired on Ms. Now, showing all the dimes. Donald Trump keeps bragging about passing The Montreal Cognitive Exam, which is a tool to assess whether or not you have early signs of dementia. Let's play this clip.
B
Single question, right?
A
I aced it.
B
Every question, right, And I aced it. I got a perfect mark. Which you would be incapable of doing. I'm taking the cognitive test, I think four times in a. I've got nothing wrong. That's what the American people want.
A
As you know, folks, we've had Dr. Gupta on the program multiple times. He leads Midas health. Here's what Dr. Gupta had to say about the tool to assess whether or not you have early signs of dementia is not something you should be repeating with frequency if you are of sound mind and health. Play this clip.
C
So, number one, advanced imaging. You do not get out of nowhere, just an MRI of your torso, your chest and your abdomen and present those results from the White House physician and act as though that's a normal screening tool. There are some that believe that a full body MRI in this day and age, if you can afford it, is appropriate to do. Reasonable people can disagree. If that's what actually he did, then present the results of the full body mri. But there's no reason whatsoever, especially if they're saying he's the chief executive of the United States, just to limit it to the MRI of the chest and the abdomen. Nonsensical. Number two, the Montreal Cognitive Assessment. This tool to assess whether or not you have early signs of dementia through understanding whether or not you can recall four words. You know, very basic type of test. This is not something that you repeat frequently unless there's a neurologic reason to do so. If there was a neurological reason to do so, fine. In certain cases, you repeat the test. But if you're otherwise claiming to be normal, you're not repeating the Montreal Cognitive Assessment as often as he's claiming to do it. As though that's some sort of flex here. It's not. And I think he's being misdirected or he's just reading something and is being misinformed by himself. And then three, lastly, just the fact that how he presents himself, whether it's the hand, is there something happening with that hand? Is there an IV there that they're trying to cover, cover up his pressurized, rambling, incoherent speech when you take it all together, reasonable people are asking reasonable questions. These are not political questions. These are basic medical questions that if they had a doctor that was not trying to editorialize and actually just present the facts, these would be reasonable questions to get answers. To. And yet we're not saying that.
A
Here's Dr. Gupta again, talking about the Montreal Cognitive exam. Let's play it. Dr. Gupta, I know you got to run. I just want to close the loop on one more thing. In the experts that you speak to and in your own practice, have you ever heard of somebody taking these cognitive exams that Trump keeps saying he's taking, like, every three months or six months?
C
This level of.
A
Have you ever heard of that? Like, with that level of frequency?
D
No. Nobody takes a Montreal Cognitive Assessment, MOCA for short, which it focuses on recall, memory loss, basic things. Mild cognitive dysfunction is what it tends to sort of screen for. It's not a great tool. No one takes it with this type of frequency. I was on with Nicole Wallace yesterday, and I thought she said it beautifully. You know, saying that you're passing it every other week is not. Is not some sort of flex here that he thinks it is.
C
This is.
D
It's an unusual thing to keep boasting about doing it as frequently as he's doing. Makes no sense. I don't know any neurologist that would recommend doing a mocha with that type of frequency. And again, it's not the flex that I think he thinks it is.
A
And here's what Dr. Gupta talks about with those who. He asked the top of their field about Trump's claim that he's only getting an MRI done of his abdomen area. You know, there's no such thing as a preventative abdominal mri, but maybe the shamans know things that we don't know. Play this clip.
D
I had a chance to speak to a lot of radiology colleagues at the best academic institutions in the country over the last 24 hours, because, you know, I want to make sure that we're getting the very best expertise across specialties for midus and midas health. No one is aware of getting an MRI of the torso, which is what the results that were summarized in the physician's note that Carolyn Levitt read out. It doesn't exist. They had justified getting an MRI of the torso for primary screening of some sort of medical process, because he's older and that doesn't exist. I'm not aware. My colleagues across the spectrum in radiology are not aware of that type of screening process. You just don't do it. And I think the fact that they reported only the cardiovascular and abdominal findings is odd. Why did he get a full body mri? Because that's in vogue amongst a certain subsegment in society, and they just reported the cardiac and the abdominal findings. Okay, then why did they leave out everything else? Did they just get a torso mri?
A
Why?
D
There is no clinical guideline that exists. And again, these are the most credentialed radiologists in the country. I challenge anybody to find a group of folks that is more credentialed and more accomplished and knows what to do and when to do MRIs than the folks I've spoken with. No one is aware of any type of screening guideline to say, yes, as you age, get a MRI of the heart and of your abdomen.
A
And then finally, Dr. Gupta exposes Trump's age related cognitive decline in another interview with me. Play this clip.
D
As you pointed out, you know, you and I had this conversation last week. We took pains to not speculate because I think a lot of people like to speculate. And I think based on the conversation we started, a lot of people have started asking questions. But it's clear that there's age related cognitive decline. I mean, that's obvious. His response to somebody fainting in the Oval Office really conveyed that he didn't show any signs of concern. He didn't really do anything. He was slow to respond. And that slowness and fatigue you're seeing more and more in his public events. So that's one, Two, he's confused a lot. Three, he sometimes mumbles sort of incoherent nonsense when he's asked a question in the press pool, in the Oval Office. So all these things when this constellation of, of just him being him. Imagine if President Biden did any of those things. He did a fraction of it from what I saw. And the lead up to the 2024 election and people obviously forced him out of the race. You're not seeing that level of scrutiny until maybe now. You're starting to see signs of it. But President Biden was active on the weekends, especially riding his bike in Rehoboth Beach. Physical exercise was something that he was clearly doing. And we had visual signs of that. From a cognitive standpoint, sure, you slow down once you hit your late 70s, early 80s. No one denied that with President Biden, that he had his moments of being 80 or 82, whatever it was. In this case, the White House is not willing to even acknowledge that the president is showing obvious signs, signs of age related decline, one, but two, you don't see him ever really doing anything physically active the way that President Obama, President George W. Bush, President Biden, though our last three presidents prior to Trump regularly worked in to their daily life. I mean, Biden was biking, he was exercising, he was walking, and he made a point of creating that visual to convey that that was a big part of his daily existence. He made a point of engaging the press on the weekends when he was biking in Delaware. You don't see any of that. And physical activity is one way to really guard against the onset of cognitive decline dementia as we get older. So I worry about that as well. He might take trips overseas in Air Force One. That doesn't substitute for the lack of physical activity. So Ben, when you put it all together here, clearly something is happening. And clearly they're not getting MRIs just.
C
Because.
D
At the moment that we live in, there's a reason and they're worried. And frankly that's piecing this all together. There's a reason to be worried based on his public performance.

Episode: Peru Shamans Predict Devastating Illness for Trump in 2026
Date: December 31, 2025
Hosts: Ben Meiselas, Brett Meiselas, Jordy Meiselas
Length: Content discussed through ~14:41 (excluding ads/outros)
This episode explores a widely reported prediction by Peruvian shamans that Donald Trump will become devastatingly ill in 2026. With their trademark blend of banter and in-depth news coverage, the Meiselas brothers dissect the credibility of these predictions, the media fervor around Trump's health, and the curious behaviors and medical presentations by Trump himself. Experts, particularly Dr. Gupta, weigh in on the medical realities behind cognitive tests and MRIs, raising questions about transparency around Trump’s health.
The episode is an engaging blend of skepticism, humor, and earnest analysis—typical of the MeidasTouch brothers. While the shamans’ mystical predictions serve as a headline, the substantive focus is on the serious and growing medical questions surrounding Donald Trump, all scrutinized with the hosts’ signature mix of wit and detail. The discussion with Dr. Gupta grounds the episode in scientific reality, contrasting the spectacle of prophecy with the very public realities of Trump’s behavior and the opaque nature of his reported medical care.
Listeners are left with both amusement at the international media swirl—and a sober sense of the very real medical and accountability questions looming over a powerful public figure.
