Oh, despite all of this, oh, he goes, he aced the exam. In fact, most people would do it poorly, and other presidents have decided not to take it at all. Why would you be taking this exam? It's not something that people take. Despite all of this, the time and work involved, the New York Times and some others think he's talking about us. Like to pretend that I'm slowing up and maybe not as sharp as I once was, or am in poor physical health, knowing that it's not true and knowing that I work very hard, probably harder than I have ever worked before, I will know when I am slowing up, but it's not now. After all of the work I have done with medical exams, cognitive exams and everything else, I actually believe it's seditious, perhaps even treasonous, for the New York Times and others to consistently do fake reports in order to libel and demean the President of the United States. They are the true enemies of the people and we should do something about it. Come at me, bro. What you gonna do? What are you going to do? I dare you. There is nothing more that I want to put you across from me in a room and take your deposition and make that Videotape public. It would be the greatest thing of my career to do it. I would take your deposition immediately. I would put it on this YouTube channel for everybody to watch your decrepit, weak, sickly state as I cross examine you. That's what I look forward to doing. So go for it, man. Go for it. Let's see. So Donald Trump post that message. Now, let me show you the following. Dr. Gupta, who leads Midas, who leads Midas health. Here's what Dr. Gupta says about the Montreal Cognitive Assessment that Donald Trump says he takes frequently here. Let's play this clip. Dr. Gupta, I know you gotta 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?

G (8:54)

This level of.

C (8:55)

Have you ever heard of that? Like, with that level of frequency?

G (8:57)

No.

H (8:57)

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 some sort of flex here that he thinks it is.

G (9:23)

This is.

H (9:23)

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.

Ask Dr. Gupta about Trump's medical note from Dr. Sean Barbarella, who says that Donald Trump back on October 10th got a preventative abdominal MRI. Guess what? There's no such thing as preventative abdominal MRIs. There really isn't anything called preventative MRIs now. And if you were going to do a preventative, you wouldn't just do it on the abdomen, you would do it in the brain, the whole body, the spine. Abdominal MRIs in general really aren't done with that level of frequency because there are other scans that do a better job than the mri. So who the hell would just get an MRI of the abdomen? And when you look at Trump's doctor note dated December1 about the October 10 advanced imaging, it says as part of Trump's comprehensive executive physical, advanced imaging was performed because men in his age group benefit from a thorough evaluation of cardiovascular and abdominal health. The purpose of this imaging is preventative to identify issues early, confirm overall health and ensure he maintains long term vitality and function. Trump's cardiovascular imaging is perfectly normal. There is no evidence of arterial narrowing, impairing blood flow, or abnormalities in the heart or major vessels. What about the brain? So Here is what Dr. Gupta said to me about the idea of preventative MRIs. Play this clip.

H (13:09)

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 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 sub segment 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? Why? 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.

H (14:43)

No one is aware of any type of screening guideline to say, yes, as you age, get an MRI of the heart and of your abdomen.

C (14:51)

Now, here is what Donald Trump's nephew, Fred Trump the third, said about Donald Trump's father, Fred Trump, who died of Alzheimer's, who got Alzheimer's right around Trump's age. And then it got worse and worse very, very quickly. Here's what Fred Trump III says here, play this clip.

I (15:10)

Oh, what I saw in my grandfather. I know what I saw in Donald's older sister, my Aunt Marianne, who, in the end, thank you for saying, I am not a doctor. I don't pretend to be. I just. I know the warning signs from both of my grandfathers. What it, what it is. Donald's cousin, John Walters, had dementia. It runs in the family. I'm not happy about it because guess what? I worry about it myself. You know, when I wears my glasses. Oh, on the top of my head now, I don't know. That may be Halfheimers, but.

G (15:42)

Right.

I (15:43)

It runs in the family.

H (15:45)

He.

I (15:47)

He looks older and I get it. I mean, I'm not saying anybody who is in that office looks different than when they come out. But the things he's spewing and the craziness and he just can't stick to a message.

C (16:04)

And you know who had frequent cognitive exams and did not ace him, but his family said that he aced him. And what the Trump family would do is they would create, like, a fake office space for Fred Trump so he can show up and pretend that he was working every day. And they would put on the wall, Fred Trump. His office. I don't know, kind of like the way in the White House, they have the signs, Oval Office, West Wing, to maybe remind Donald Trump who he is. This is Fred Trump's cognitive exams that he also took very frequently right here. Um, you have the way these clocks are. He couldn't draw clocks. The reports talk about how the Trump family would say that Fred Trump didn't have dementia, but it was obvious that he had early signs of dementia, and it just accelerated. Accelerated until he died. Now, let's just take a look at Donald Trump's very briefly, the speech that he gave last night. So you can see here he talks about his weave. Play this clip.

J (17:07)

So it's November 5th, and it's also, also, again, it's a thing called tariffs. And I told you I was about to say that, you know, because I love the weave. The weave. You know what the weave is? Go here. Bing, bing, bing, bing. You always have to get back to the right location, but otherwise they'll criticize you for straying from the speech. If I. If, by the way, if I read what's on the teleprompter, you'd all be falling asleep right now.

G (17:37)

Oof.

C (17:37)

I don't even know what this is. But he couldn't get sentences out. Play this clip.

J (17:41)

On day one, I ended the war in Pennsylvania Energy. I terminated. I just terminated something that was here.

C (17:48)

He couldn't say, people, so he goes, the invasion of 25 million peace.

J (17:52)

Play this clip is the invasion of 25 million piece. Think of this. 25 million people came into our country here.

C (18:01)

He just starts going, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Here, play this clip.

J (18:06)

Bom, bom, bom, bom, bom, bom.

C (18:10)

And you see his. This is called disinhibition. It's a sign of Alzheimer's and dementia. And again, I don't know what Donald Trump has or doesn't have. Again, I don't know. Let me make that clear. Opinion. First Amendment, not sure. Okay, clear. We all. We're all clear about that. But let me explain to you, disinhibition is like blurting out, hey, piggy. Shut up, piggy. That's disinhibition, right? Saying you're ugly and you're obnoxious. You're ugly. Taking a look at Caroline Levin and saying, look at those lips. She's got. Look at these lips. It's like machine gun lips. Disinhibition. We see this in dementia patients at hospices. Here, play this clip. This is what he said about Caroline played.

J (18:52)

Isn't she great? Is Caroline great?

J (18:57)

You know what? When she goes on television, Fox, like, I mean, they dominate. They dominate. When she gets up there with that beautiful face and those lips that don't stop like, like a little machine gun, she's got no fear. You know why she has no fear? Because we have the right policy.
