In short
The episode argues that Donald Trump is experiencing serious cognitive and physical decline, potentially consistent with Alzheimer’s or dementia. The host claims Trump’s behavior includes disorientation (signs labeling rooms/where he is), walking problems (zigzagging, needing help), and “disinhibition” (e.g., blurting “Quiet, you Piggy”). Key claims cite family history: Fred Trump Sr. reportedly had Alzheimer’s and the family allegedly denied it while keeping him “working” with blank papers. The episode also alleges medical evidence: frequent hand infusions, swelling, tiredness, and regular MRIs; it mocks a “preventative abdominal MRI” as implausible. Notable examples include Trump at a FIFA event wearing a “FIFA Peace Prize” medal and comparing Trump’s behavior to Biden’s as age-related rather than dementia. Guests mentioned: Dr. Vin Gupta (Midas Health), Dr. John Gartner (psychologist), and references to Fred Trump III and Dr. John Walters; no direct guest interview transcripts appear.

2:15Ben Meiselas:We know your secrets, Donald. We know what you're hiding and we know you want to silence us from talking about your deteriorating health, but we're not going to be silenced. As the Daily Beast reports, Trump's 79 is fuming over coverage of his deteriorating health and the Midas touch network has been at the forefront of covering it, bringing on medical experts to discuss what might be going on with Donald Trump as we see his physical and mental deterioration. I want to share this with you as well, though, because a lot of this is staring us in the face right now, right? And here you can see that one of the things that Donald Trump is doing at the White House, he's putting up signs all around him to remind him where he is, who he is.
3:04So when Donald Trump is out having lunch, there's a sign by him saying, President Donald J.
3:12Ben Meiselas:Trump. This is when he eats at Mar-a-Lago or when he's in the cafeteria. Why would you need to have a placard next to yourself when you're eating. Now, you know, there have been signs all around the White House telling Donald Trump where the different rooms are. So before there was paper that said like West Wing, Oval Office, and now it's been replaced by, I think it's like fake gold letters, but it says, you know, the West Wing is over here. The Oval Office is over here. And I think it's because he doesn't know where he is. That's my view. I'm getting my opinion, to be clear. I don't think he knows where he is at all of his cabinet meetings.
3:58Ben Meiselas:His cabinet members all have signs with their names on it. I mean, shouldn't you know who your cabinet is by this point and what their names are? You know, the white house tries to cover up for it a lot too. Like Donald Trump will scribble his name on walls and they'll be like a real signature with a real pen. Groundbreaking. Why are you writing your name on walls? That's not normal behavior. Of course, there are all the videos and tapes of Donald Trump not being able to walk straight. Prime Minister of Japan, Takeishi, had to help him walk, chaperone him because he couldn't walk straight. You know where he was.
4:37Ben Meiselas:You saw Donald Trump with Vladimir Putin in Alaska. Donald Trump was zigzagging, couldn't walk in a straight line. You know, when you look at what happened to Donald Trump's father, Fred, died of conditions related to Alzheimer's. Alzheimer's was diagnosed in the early 90s and then rapidly deteriorated. And Fred, Donald Trump's dad, got Alzheimer's right around the age that Donald Trump is right now. Very similar. Alzheimer's is genetic. It runs in the family. And Trump's family has a ton of Alzheimer's in it. We've heard from Trump's nephew, Fred Trump III, who talks about how it's a real serious issue in the Trump family.
5:18Ben Meiselas:Alzheimer's runs in the family right around Donald Trump's age specifically. So you look at the literature on Alzheimer's and dementia in general. Alzheimer's, dementia patients, sometimes they'll have signage throughout their home just to remind them who they are. This is the bathroom. This is your bedroom. This is your house. Here are photos of people in your life with their names on it to remind you who you are, especially in doors and rooms, bedrooms, lounges, it says bedroom, lounge on it. There's a data point there. Let me recount this. This is how Vanity Fair talked about Donald Trump's father, Fred.
6:08Ben Meiselas:There is a long history in the Trump family of denying serious illness. According to a Trump family friend, Trump's father, Fred Trump Sr., insisted on working even after his Alzheimer's disease advanced in the 1990s. To retire is to expire, Fred Sr. would say. The friend said that as Fred Sr.'s disease worsened, he once came down the stairs wearing three neckties. The family created a system so that Fred could think he was still running the Trump Organization. Every day, Fred Sr. would go to the office in Brooklyn, and they would give him blank papers to sort through and sign. The phone on Fred's desk was set up so that it could only dial out to his secretary.
6:52Ben Meiselas:Fred pretended to work, the family friend said. The White House did not immediately respond for a comment. This was written in about 2020 as the Vanity Fair was covering what was going on with COVID. But I think then you started to see really some of the big signs of Donald Trump's cognitive deterioration. And right now it's just, I think, rapidly accelerating. Congresswoman Sydney Kumlager Dove, she explained this and this is what really clicked. Go back and watch the video I did yesterday on the Alzheimer's drug, Lakembi. and it seems that the symptoms line up here, you know, in terms of the Alzheimer's drug, it can be, and it was one of the first times I was like, that's a unifying theory of the case, and it kind of makes everything make sense.
7:44Ben Meiselas:I want to talk about that. I want to remind you, make sure you subscribe to our YouTube channel. You may think that you're subscribed to our YouTube channel, but you may not actually be subscribed. So please subscribe. We're on our way to 6 million subscribers. You know we're under attack from the Trump regime and from state regime media, Fox, like every day. So please, if you can help us get to that 6 million subscriber mark. Okay. It goes on to talk about how there's this Alzheimer's drug, Lakembi. It's administered through an infusion through the hand frequently, can cause swelling, bleeding, or fluid leakage in the brain requiring regular MRIs.
8:22Ben Meiselas:It can cause tiredness. And we see Donald Trump's hand. He's getting frequent infusions through that hand, right? I mean, it's happening on a consistent basis. We see the swelling, we see the tiredness, and we see the regular MRIs. And again, when Donald Trump's doctor put out a statement, a doctor's note, if you will, on December 1st, saying that Donald Trump had a preventative abdominal MRI. There's no such thing as a preventative abdominal MRI. This doesn't exist. We had Dr. Vin Gupta, who runs Midas Health, reach out to all of the top radiologists and MRI technicians and doctors in this field.
9:06Ben Meiselas:There's no such thing as a preventative abdominal MRI. There's really no such thing as preventative MRIs per se. Although if you were to get a preventative MRI, CEOs and executives, I don't know, say they want to get a preventative MRI. I don't know. You wouldn't just do it in the abdomen. That's a weird area to just do it on. You would do it in the brain, the spine. You would do the whole body. So why would you do a preventative MRI and not get results from your brain? And why are you constantly taking cognitive exams. No one takes those cognitive exams usually at all or with certainly that degree of frequency unless you have dementia or you have some sort of mental learning situation that requires that.

11:14Ben Meiselas:I want to share this with, why did I share with you the story about Fred showing up to work and recreating this scene that he was working when he wasn't really working so that he felt that he was showing up at his office. It reminded me a lot of what went down on Friday with Donald Trump and the head of FIFA. And so the head of FIFA, and I think this guy is very corrupt. I'm always giving you my opinions. I think FIFA is a very corrupt organization. I love soccer, football, and then Donald Trump wants to rename American football right now. but um i think he's a very corrupt entity but i love watching soccer um but donald trump and this guy who's the head of fifa first off they hang out like every two weeks you always see the the guy from fifa there and like i understand that there's going to be the world cup in the united states but still like why are you why is this guy always around just weird but they created a peace prize because donald trump didn't win the nobel peace prize so they wanted to make Donald Trump feel that he won the peace prize, right?
12:24Ben Meiselas:The way they made Fred feel that he was running the Trump organization. Trump's never been happier getting this fake medal. It's like, why is FIFA that involves soccer giving peace prizes? What are we talking about here? But it's the happiest I've ever seen Donald Trump, for real, wearing a fake medal. and the head of FIFA was saying how you deserve this medal. And I'm thinking what it must be like when the Trump family was telling Fred, you're doing great work, Fred. You're doing really good. Yeah, you're showing up to work, right? That's kind of how we would, I mean, speak to Alzheimer's patients.
13:03Ben Meiselas:You're doing great, you know, and trying to be nice and create comfort around the individual. So, I mean, just watch with this head of FIFA system. You definitely deserve the first FIFA prize here. play this clip. Mr. President, and you definitely deserve the first FIFA Peace Prize for your action, for what you have obtained in your way, but you obtained it in an incredible way. And you can always count, Mr. President, on my support, on the support of the entire football community or soccer community to help you make peace and make the world prosper all over the world. Thank you very much, Mr.
13:41President. The floor is all yours. Thank you.
13:45Ben Meiselas:And then just watch, notice what this guy is saying to Trump too. This is your peace prize. You can wear it wherever you want to go. I mean, look, even if you win a Nobel Peace Prize, if you win the Nobel Peace Prize, or you win a gold medal in the Olympics, you're not wearing these wherever you want to go. But Trump definitely wants to like wear this medal to all of these locations. Here, play this clip. This is your peace prize. There is also a beautiful medal for you that you can wear everywhere you want to go. I'm going to wear it right now. Okay. Let me hold. Ah, fantastic. Excellent.
14:27Ben Meiselas:And then he gives this rambling speech about when you look at what's happened to football, why do we call football football? Soccer should be called football. Ha ha ha, I've just thought of this. Come on, here, play this clip. He scored three goals out there. I said, that man can play. I was pretty young at that point. And who knew this was going to happen? But when you look at what has happened to football in the United States, again, soccer in the United States, we seem to never call it that because we have a little bit of a conflict with another thing that's called football. But when you think about it, shouldn't it really be called?
15:05I mean, this is football. There's no question about it. We have to come up with another name for that. Yeah, yeah. It really doesn't make sense when you think about it. It's really football. But who would have thought it would have come to a level?
15:19Ben Meiselas:And then that brings me to this. And I think when we create a unifying theory of the case and say, is this Alzheimer's like his father Fred had? Is that what we're observing right now? One of the signs of Alzheimer's or bad dementia is something called disinhibition, disinhibition, blurting things out. Now, we know Donald Trump is a blowhard in general. We know he's a disgusting human his whole life. So he's gross with people. He says disgusting things about women all the time. So, so stipulated. But when he called the reporter Piggy, a Bloomberg reporter, he called her Piggy. Watch how he did it.
16:03Ben Meiselas:It's like he couldn't control it. Quiet, you Piggy. Quiet, you Piggy. And that right there to me is a classic telltale sign of disinhibition. He blurted, he looked at her, he thought Piggy because he's disgusting. And he got Piggy. and I think that this is part of it. I really do. I think that this is part of the behavior that we're seeing here. Play this clip. Is there something incriminating in the five minutes? Why not? Quiet, quiet. Because this is how we can understand the dementia behaviors or Alzheimer's behavior, disinhibition here. Play this clip. There are a number of reasons why disinhibition can occur.
16:45The frontal lobe of the brain is our social filter. And if that is affected by the dementia, as it often is, then you lose that filter and you lose that ability to know what is a normal social behavior.
17:02Ben Meiselas:So now I'll just show you what Fred Trump III, Donald Trump's nephew, had to say about Fred Trump, about Donald Trump's father here playing this clip. Oh, what I saw on 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. 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 on the top of my head. Now, I don't know.
17:44That may be half timers, but it runs in the family. He. 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.
18:08Ben Meiselas:And then psychologist, Dr. John Gartner, who you've seen here on the Midas Touch Network, he's been making a lot of appearances on the Daily Beast. They've been doing good work at the Daily Beast as well, covering Trump's health. Here's what he said. Play this clip. May have Alzheimer's symptoms seem to point more towards frontotemporal dementia and dementia. We see a deterioration in at least four main areas. Language during the campaign, there were super cuts of people making fun of him for his mispronunciations or malpropisms memory. We talked about last time about his not recognizing Hakeem Jeffries.
18:39Behavior, you know, his disinhibited behavior. And then finally, psychomotor performance. It appears like it is on the right side of his body that he had the droop with the face. It's also on the right side of his body that he has the wide-based gait where he swings his leg in kind of a semicircle. And what we're seeing is consistent, gross, progressive deterioration in all of these four areas. in dementia, very over-learned motor behaviors, things we don't actually think about because they're so over-learned, those programs start to deteriorate. One of the things that I'd like to point out is I believe his doctors who have examined him know that this is not within normal limits.
19:18And I think the information that has leaked out is enough for us to conclude that they know he has organic cognitive decline. If Donald Trump were just an ordinary patient and you saw these kinds of serious signs of dementia, a responsible doctor would give him both a neuropsychological battery and an MRI.
19:37Ben Meiselas:Now, I'll just leave you with this, because I showed you how Trump was behaving at that FIFA event. Could you imagine a former president Biden behave that way? You see, there's a difference. Biden is old, and he behaves as an older male or older person would. He's 81, 82, Two, slower, it accentuates the stutter, slower thought process, the way he walks. What you're seeing with Biden is age slowing down, not dementia, not Alzheimer's. Like Biden spoke yesterday. I'll just show you a small portion here, but you'll see the difference between aging and old versus something that may be mental deterioration, whether that's Alzheimer's, dementia, something else.
20:34Ben Meiselas:Here, play this clip. You've heard me say before, when I was growing up, whenever something bad happened, I used to be a stutterer and people made a lot of fun. My dad would look and say, Joey, just get up. Get up, Joey. Get up. Well, folks, that's my message to all of us today. To all who love our country. To all. All of us who are dismayed by the present state of the union. This is no time to give up. It's time to get up. Get up and fight back. Get up. Continue to fight.
21:19And what's the fight all about? It's not high fight. It's about protecting the Constitution. It's about protecting the Constitution.
