1:46Ben Meiselas:It's really not looking good for Donald. He's deteriorating before our eyes during that disaster meeting he had with Zelinsky. yesterday. Not only was Donald Trump looking cognitively at all, not only was this entire thing a mess, but it looked like both of his hands now had that same rot. Both of his hands looked like they were discolored and he was trying to hide both of them, but he couldn't hide both of his hands. Now we know that his right hand had been seriously discolored. They'd been putting a lot of makeup on it. It went from looking almost like this bluish, kind of purplish color to they just slap makeup over it right now.

2:27Ben Meiselas:And then you now have the left one looking discolored as well. And a lot of people are speculating. And again, I'm just expressing to you my opinion speech as protected by the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. But could it be that he was getting IV infusions of some sort in the right hand, and that vein no longer is good. So they're now going into the left hand to try to find a vein after they were previously going into the arm, for example. And so lots of people are taking a look at this. And you look at what the account Derek Guy posted right here. You zoom in. He zoomed in right here.

3:07Ben Meiselas:And this is from yesterday, there seems to be a small hole at the site of the discoloration. You see that small hole right there? It's actually pretty apparent. This on the other hand right now, and there's probably holes on the other hand that was discolored as well. And this would seem to suggest those who are having that opinion that are there IV infusions? Are there IVs going in? And it at least lends some additional data points for those who express that opinion, right? And everybody's entitled to their own opinions right here, like Congresswoman Kalmager Dove. And her opinion that she expressed is the following.

3:50Ben Meiselas:And she just put this out there. And again, opinion, speculation, everybody's entitled to that right under the First Amendment. So I'll make that clear. Here's what she said. She goes, the Alzheimer's drug, Lakembi, is administered through an infusion. For example, through the hand, it can cause swelling, bleeding, or fluid leakage in the brain requiring regular MRIs. And we know that Donald Trump's excuse about getting an abdominal preventative MRI is BS. There's no such thing as preventative abdominal MRIs. To the extent you were going to get a preventative MRI, it would be full body, but people don't get preventative MRIs.

4:27Ben Meiselas:It would be of the brain as well. And the fact that the Trump regime is covering up the MRIs, the way they're covering up the Epstein files, the way they're covering up the killing of the survivors of the boat strike after engaging in the other crimes against humanity, I mean, tells you a lot. I did a deep dive into this. And so here's the hand of a Lakembi patient right here. This is how it would be administered, Lakembi, this Alzheimer's drug. Here's another image of the individual getting the Lakembi administered. There's a photo of Donald Trump's hand right there. I want to share this with you as well, because I was doing some deep dives into Lakembi.

5:07Ben Meiselas:Take a look right here, Alzheimer's treatments. There's Lakembi, L-E-Q-E-M-B-I. Then there's Kisunla, K-I-S-U-N-L-A. And the way these Alzheimer treatments work is they're supposed to remove the amyloid plaques in the brain, which is identified as some of the triggers of Alzheimer's. We know that Donald Trump's father, Fred, suffered from Alzheimer's and eventually died. It came on rapidly and it progressed. And one of the things that they did with Fred is they This has been reported before Donald Trump's dad as they tried to create environments that made him feel like he was working. But in fact, they would just create like almost like a fake office setting for him.

5:49Ben Meiselas:Let me just share this with you. This was from a recent Fox 5 report on the Alzheimer's treatment. Lakembi. Here's how somebody was getting the medication administered. And it just it stood out to me. Here, play this clip. Davis' story of how she ended up in this Emory video, one of the first patients at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta to receive an infusion of the recently FDA-approved Alzheimer's drug LeCembe, begins last summer back home in Pensacola, Florida, with a pretty brutal diagnosis from a local neurologist Davis went to see after experiencing some memory problems. The brain scan or whatever they did at West Florida Hospital, they gave that to the doctor and he told me to get your affairs in order.

6:32Ben Meiselas:So that's Lakembi. I'll show you Kinsola right now or Kisnula. Here, play this clip. Yeah, Kisunla, sorry. Here, play this clip right here. Living with Alzheimer's disease. I start going open my refrigerator and when I put the door, I say, what am I here for? Forgetting things every few minutes. That's day-to-day life, but it all may change now with Kisunla, this drug getting FDA approval. Dr. W. Jamie Plant is a neurologist here. It's a medication that is delivered once a month, targets the amyloid plaque in patients that have Alzheimer's disease, and breaks it down and eliminates it. Yeah, and here is, let's just hear from some of the Trump family members.

7:21Ben Meiselas:Here's what what Donald Trump's nephew, Fred Trump, had to say about him and Fred Trump recognizing that Trump's father, Fred Trump, had these issues. Here's what Fred Trump had to say recently or play this clip. I know 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. I just, I know the warning signs from both of my grandfathers, 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, that may be Hathheimers, but it runs in the family.

8:10He 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.

8:30Ben Meiselas:And let's take a listen to what Mary Trump had to say about Trump's cognitive issues. Here, play this clip. Concerns over Donald's physical and mental decline are mounting, even among Republicans. Donald is 79 years old and a deeply unhealthy person. His father had a very serious case of Alzheimer's that went on for about 15 years. Every day, Donald seems increasingly feeble and unable to focus. Even the New York Times is starting to catch on to this. And as he weakens, so too does his hold over the Republican Party. On November 19th, journalist Amanda Marcode speculated in an article that it was Donald's MRI that spurred GOP House members to reverse their stance on the vote to force the release of the Epstein files.

9:17She wrote, quote, the White House continues to deny there are problems with Donald's health. But since they lie about everything, those words mean less than nothing. The public evidence that the 79-year-old Donald is not doing well is hard for even the most diehard MAGA types to ignore, unquote. Recently, according to the Daily Beast, Donald accidentally boosted a post from an account literally called impeach Donald for a third time. Included was Senator Mark Kelly's message reminding service members they can be constitutionally obligated to refuse legal orders. In other words, Donald promoted calls for him to be removed from office.

9:58It's another day proving the obvious. Donald cannot tell his allies from his enemies, his days from his nights, or his own propaganda from uncomfortable truths about his failures.

10:10Ben Meiselas:Now, look, I think this was on full display during this press conference that Donald Trump had with Zelensky. I mean, just listen to Donald Trump's speech pattern right here. Donald Trump, while he's on, is doing this press conference in Mar-a-Lago with Zelensky. He starts whining about the 2020 election. He says, Russia, Russia, Russia. I mean, the speech pattern here is just completely and utterly deranged. Here play this clip. And a lot of very brave people, a lot of people that are dead right now, unfortunately, because I've said, and nobody's disputed it, that if the election weren't rigged and stolen, 2020 you wouldn't have had this war would have never happened and it didn't happen for four years never was even thought to happen and I spoke with President Putin I got along with him very well despite the Russia Russia Russia hoax which was a total hoax he used to say what is going on over there but it was a total hoax as he knew and as I knew but I spoke to him and and we'd talk about Ukraine I've said it before it was the apple of his eye but he wasn't going to do anything about He didn't do anything about it until I was gone.

11:20And then a lot of really bad statements were made by people, by a lot of people, I guess, but by a certain president that we had who was a disaster. Yes.

11:33Ben Meiselas:And then here, Donald Trump basically stopped the, sent out the press and asked them if they want food. And then talked about, oh, if I give you food, am I going to be bribing you? I mean, what the hell is he talking about here? Here, play this clip. Are you okay? Is everyone fine? Margo, if you would. I think you could sit outside and have some food. Would you like to have some food? Or do you consider that a bribe? And therefore you cannot write honestly. Or therefore you have to write a bad story. Would you like something to eat at this time? Yes or no? You can speak. Yes, sir. Margo, take them outside.

12:15tell the chef a little on chicken thank you press thank you guys thank you guys thank you press thank you guys that should guarantee good stories

12:35way go outside of the porch so i was how much time money and energy have you spent on health

12:43Ben Meiselas:wellness, and beauty products to look and feel younger and healthier? If you're like me, probably too much. Now, I'm so excited to share with you guys C15 from Fatty15, the first emerging essential fatty acid to be discovered in more than 90 years. Now, it's an incredible scientific breakthrough to support our long-term health and wellness, and you guessed it, healthy aging. Fatty15 co-founder, Dr. Stephanie Van Watson, she discovered the benefits of C15 while working with the U.S. Navy to continually improve the health and welfare of aging dolphins. Now, based on over 100 studies, we now know that C15 strengthens our cells and is a key to healthy aging nutrient, which helps to slow biological aging at the cellular level.

13:29Ben Meiselas:Now, in fact, when our cells don't have enough C15, they become fragile and age faster. And when our cells age, our bodies age too. So Fatty 15 is a science-backed, award-winning, patented, 100 % pure C15 supplement. It's vegan-friendly, free of flavors, allergens, or preservatives. Fatty 15 has three times more cellular benefits than omega-3s or fish oil. I love Fatty 15. I've personally seen the benefits. Definitely check this stuff out. Best of all, Fatty 15 comes in a gorgeous, reusable glass bamboo jar, and refills are shipped right to your door. Now, Fatty 15 is on a mission to optimize your C15 levels to help support your long-term health and wellness.

14:16Ben Meiselas:Now, especially as you age, you can get an additional 15 % off their 90 day subscription starter kit by going to fatty15.com slash Midas and using code Midas at checkout. You know, you have, uh, I've got to share this with you as well. Joanna Coles has done an incredible job on the Daily Beast documenting this. And Joanna's a friend of mine. She had Dr. John Gartner. You've seen Dr. John Gartner on the Midas Touch Network before. Here, Dr. John Gartner talks about the Montreal Cognitive Exam that Trump keeps saying he takes, the MOCA. Again, people don't take this cognitive exam unless you have serious issues.

14:57Ben Meiselas:This is not like a fun exam that people just take. This is what Dr. Gartner said about the mocha exams. Here, play this clip. What happens with people who get dementia, when it starts to get to this point, the progress starts to catch up. It starts to get faster and faster. So finally, at some point, they really fall off a cognitive cliff. You know, he kind of gave the game away again, as he often does. He said, you know, the mocha that that or that screen, I've passed it now three times in front of a whole bunch of doctors. Well, you could maybe justify giving someone the MOCA once, just on their age, just as part of a physical.

15:34If you're giving it to him three times, that means you're not assessing dementia. That means you're monitoring dementia. Because if you keep feeling like, no, he's still got the symptoms. We've got to see how bad he's doing now. Oh, we've got to check again, see how bad he's doing now. I think they're giving him cognitive tests and MRIs every six months to monitor the progress of his dementia.

15:58Ben Meiselas:and or strokes oh goodness and here's what uh dr vin gupta from the midas touch network who leads midas health had to say let me share this with you play this clip 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 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.

16:34But 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 neurologic 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.

17:22It'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 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.

17:59Ben Meiselas:And yet we're not saying that. And here is what Michael Wolff, Trump's former biographer, who's got a lot of great sourcing. Here he talks about Trump's disinhibited or uninhibited behavior, which is a sign and symptom. Again, I'm expressing an opinion. I don't know one way or the other whether Donald Trump has this or not. But disinhibition, uninhibited behavior is a sign. Here, play this clip right here. We talked about the very peculiar statement he put out after Rob Reiner, after Rob Reiner's death, where he blamed Rob Reiner's Trump derangement syndrome. It was not just peculiar. It was deranged.

18:42It was deranged. I mean, nobody would do that. That's not going to be good for, certainly it's not going to be good for Donald Trump. It didn't even make sense. It's just, you know, it's a problem with, you know, with reflex control. And, you know, so it's back to that, you know, Susie Wiles said in her interview with Vanity Fair that it was like dealing with an alcoholic. and she got a lot of this was like everybody went whoa now that's a common it's a common usage in the White House and it's a usage that he almost seems proud of and I think the rationale is he doesn't drink everybody knows he doesn't drink and he really doesn't drink so therefore therefore it's it's not it's not an alcoholic It's a compliment to being compared to an alcoholic.

19:48I don't quite get the logic inside Trump's head on that. But Susie Wiles might have just as well said it's like dealing with a dementia patient. I mean, it is the same thing. And because he doesn't drink, it is probably closer to that. I mean, he in which he has he has his the aspects of his uninhibited, the uninhibited aspects of his personality. personality, and that might be like, it's like anger or self-pity or in his case, or other, yeah, racism for some people, become increasingly more uninhibited. And that seems to be what's going on. He opens his mouth and you go, this is a problem. Yeah.

20:50Ben Meiselas:And Dr. Gardner also talks about how people within the Trump White House, you know, talk about the 25th Amendment here, play this clip. Michael Wolfe, who's been on your show or with your joint show, has talked about how people in the White House are talking about how aghast they are, how repulsed they are, that they talk about the 25th Amendment. There used to be in his last administration that we found out there was like a text chain where people would just text to each other 25. You know, know, that was code for he's he's at it again. Right. Right. So I think 25 for the 25th Amendment. Yeah, exactly.

21:23Exactly. So so it was a code for, you know, he's off the leash again. So the sad thing is the people who are closest to him know better than anybody how disturbed he is.

21:36Ben Meiselas:And again, the 25th Amendment, the 25th being removal based on Donald Trump's lack of cognitive abilities. Again, just think about just this behavior of Donald Trump. I mean, with respect to the Epstein files Trump posting, now one million more pages on Epstein are found. DOJ is being forced to spend all of its time on this Democratic-expired hoax. When do they say no more and work on election fraud? The Dems are the ones who worked with Epstein, not the Republicans. Release all of their names, embarrass them, and get back to help our country. The radical left doesn't want people to talk about Trump and Republican success.

22:10Ben Meiselas:Only a long ago, dead Jeffrey Epstein, just another witch hunt! Exclamation point. I mean, think about that deranged behavior right there. Or how about this Donald Trump attacking former President Obama, and then Donald Trump saying Democrats wanted to replace you with uneducated Mexicans who would be easier to enslave. I mean, Trump's reposting this. He wants to replace you with uneducated Mexicans who would make you easier, who are easier to enslave? I mean, what the hell is even going on there? And this is having serious ramifications as well. I mean, Donald Trump just announcing that he bombed Nigeria recently and said he was going after ISIS because they were going after Christians, which is not, again, there's no specific targeting of Christians in Nigeria.

22:50Ben Meiselas:And it's unclear where the hell Donald Trump even bombed. I mean, he bombed a village called Joba in Nigeria, which is a small village with no ISIS connections at all. And people are Like, why would he bomb this village, like bombing random areas? I mean, I think one of the issues is, is that, you know, he's told by his cabinet members that China has a lithium deal with the current Nigerian government. The current Nigerian government is run by a Muslim leader. There's an opposition leader who is Christian, who I think is feeding this information to Trump lobbyists that's getting to Trump. So Trump is, oh, this is a way to get back at China to try to intimidate them by bombing Nigeria.

23:33Ben Meiselas:I mean, I think that's what this is really about, oil and lithium. And then China responds by saying, and I think this is directly related, that China is conducting its most aggressive war games ever around Taiwan. And I think they're doing this to send a message back to Donald Trump in response to what took place in Nigeria. The reason why I'm even mentioning this right now is because you have this deranged, cognitively addled guy, in my opinion, who is creating a situation where all of the preconditions for a world war are like right there before our eyes, like right now. And we need to continue to cover this cognitive meltdown because it's serious.

24:17Ben Meiselas:serious stuff. And all this stuff, you need someone kind of competent and who gets it right now. It's like, what the hell's happening? I hope that it was elucidating and illuminating too. Let me know what you think. Hit subscribe. Let's get to 6 million. And thanks for watching.
