2:19Ben Meiselas:Donald Trump's physical and cognitive health has taken a turn for the worse. He gave an exclusive interview with NBC last night. And during the interview, he said that he loves to take these cognitive quizzes. Here's how he describes it here. Play this clip. I take cognitive physicals. So I do a cognitive mind test. OK, and a lot of people wouldn't be able to do very well. Not easy. You know, you get to those last questions. I've aced. I've done three of them. No other president has agreed to do them. I do them because I have no problem with it because I'm 100%. And they're not called cognitive mind tests.

2:58Ben Meiselas:They are cognitive exams to determine mental decline. Then Donald Trump talks about how he continues to take this aspirin over and over again. Here play this clip. I'm 100%. Now, there will be a time. Still taking the aspirin? I do. I take aspirin. And I don't want to change, you know? I don't want to. So you go against your doctor's orders. You do what you kind of feel. You know, I've been taking aspirin for 30 years and I don't want to change it. So, you know, they take the smaller one. I say, well, I want that blood to be nice and thin running through my heart. And then it gets worse from there.

3:32Ben Meiselas:Donald Trump talks about how he loves to take these physicals. And he goes, I do this physical and that physical. Here, play this clip. I feel great. I mean, physically and mentally, I feel like I did 50 years ago. It's crazy. Now, there'll be a time when I won't be able to give you that answer. But that time hasn't come. I do. I think it's very important. I've done more physicals. I take physicals just to give the report out. And then he's asked by this NBC reporter, if at any point your age impacts your job, who's going to tell you that, Donald? Because I think the reporter saw what we're all seeing right there.

4:10Ben Meiselas:Here, play this clip. If at any point your age impacts your job, who's going to tell you that? or you think you'll know yourself? I think I'll know myself. I think I'll know myself. You know, and there's other examples of really serious kind of physical and cognitive decline during this interview as well. You know, one of the things that stood out to me, you know, is that he could just be saying this because he's terrified of what former President Bill Clinton might testify to when Clinton speaks with Congress about the Epstein files. So Donald Trump may be saying it for this reason. But Donald Trump, after like trashing former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

4:49Ben Meiselas:Donald Trump's like, you know what? It really bothers me that Congress, that the Republicans are going after Bill Clinton, Trump says. That hurts me. I don't want them to do that. He understood me. I liked Bill Clinton. You're the one who's going after him. What are you talking about here? Play this clip. It bothers me that somebody's going after Bill Clinton. See, I like Bill Clinton. I still like Bill Clinton. What do you like about him? Well, I liked his behavior toward me. I thought he got me. He understood me. And we've seen Donald Trump repeatedly talk about these cognitive exams. What was it, two weeks ago, he randomly held a press conference about whole milk.

5:36Ben Meiselas:No one's really even sure what that whole week about whole milk was about. Many believe that RFK Jr. was trying to push raw milk, which may have killed a bunch more people in the United States recently. But then they changed it to whole milk because people realized how crazy it was. But anyway, Donald Trump's like, will the whole milk help my cognitive exams or just something crazy like that? Here, play this clip right here. So milk would help your cognitive ability. Absolutely. You can tell who's been taking cognitive. test. I've taken a lot of them. I've aced every one of them because I drink milk.

6:15It's good for, and it shows.

6:16Ben Meiselas:Now, even Donald Trump's former White House lawyer, someone who knew Donald Trump better than just about anyone in the Oval Office during the first term, former White House attorney Ty Cobb, this guy represented the White House when Trump was in it. This guy was very close to Trump during the first administration. And he just did an interview with our friend Jim Acosta. And here's what Donald Trump's former White House lawyer said. When your own lawyer is saying this about you, that's usually not a good thing. Here, play this clip. And Ty, it sounds as though you are concerned that he is not well.

6:54Oh, he's not well. I mean, I'm not I'm, you know, look, I was very clear when my friend Joe Biden was, you know, shaking hands with the air and struggling to find out, find the door to get off stage. And, you know, you know, finally, the whole country saw what I'd seen for a couple of years after the debate, you know, that that that he was not well, that he you know, he was not capable of of leading the country. And Trump is worse. I mean, you cannot do those screeds that he did for the G7 or the things that he had said about Greenland, the things he says about Venezuela, the things he says about his predecessors, Obama, Biden.

7:41It's just it's just it's just insane the things that he says. And and I think this I think the story needs to be, you know, how extreme this is not, you know, you know, isn't this a standard deviation from the norm? It's not is this is this is so far out of bounds. People have to deal with it. It's dangerous. Very dangerous. Yeah. And and look, I mean, look at the look at the damage we have. We have allies, you know, allies that have been our allies for 100 years, you know, through through wars, blood and treasure, you know, who will not share intelligence with us because of the war crimes that Trump has committed.

8:18They won't share intelligence with us because they're afraid that it goes from Trump to Putin. You know, we're we we are in a we are in a place we have never seen before. And we need to navigate out of it as quickly as possible or we're going down.

8:32Ben Meiselas:And one of the other signs of Donald Trump's demented mind and the cognitive decline that many people suggest is Alzheimer's. Lots of medical people are saying, could it be Alzheimer's? Could it be, you know, rapidly accelerating dementia or other things? just the attacking of female reporters. Like we know Donald Trump's horrifically misogynistic. We know he's a horrible person, but the way he snaps immediately at female reporters, he's always done that his life. But kind of the uncontrollable nature of it right now, like you remember what happened with Caitlin Collins two days ago, play this clip.

9:11Maybe get onto something else. But what would you say to people who feel like they haven't gotten justice, Mr. President? Something that people care about. What did you say? What would you say to the survivors who feel like they haven't gotten justice? You are the worst reporter. CNN has no ratings because of people like you. You know, she's a young woman. I don't think I've ever seen you smile. I've known you for 10 years. I don't think I've ever seen a smile on her face. Well, I'm asking you about survivors of Jeffrey Upstance, Mr. President. Because you know you're not telling the truth. And you're a very dishonest organization.

9:42And they should be ashamed of you.

9:44Ben Meiselas:And then about two months ago when he was on Air Force One and he yelled at the reporter and said, quiet, piggy, quiet, piggy. Sir, is there something incriminating in the box? Quiet, quiet, piggy. And then you have like Trump sycophants around him, whether it's MAGA Mike Johnson or whether it's J.D. Vance, basically, you know, trying to say, that's just Donald Trump's humor. You know, he's very observant. He's a very funny guy. like when the other day when Donald Trump attacked Caitlin Collins that just shows Donald Trump's awareness here play this clip um I mean like there was a moment in the Oval Office I wasn't even in there but you know I was in the West Wing and somebody sent me where he was talking to Caitlin Collins who's the CNN anchor and I have like a decent relationship with Caitlin Collins which is unusual given that she's from CNN but uh the president she's asking a question the president that says, why don't you ever smile?

10:42And it's actually like so perceptive. Even if you're asking a tough question, even if you take your job very seriously, like why does it always have to be so antagonistic? Well, I laugh because I saw online, everybody's calling him sexist for saying that. And I literally said the same thing about Caitlin Collins a year ago on my show. She never smiles. Every once in a while you have to smile. Roger Ailes used to tell us that. Every once in a while you can remember smile, show the viewers they have a heart. Have some fun.

12:32Ben Meiselas:Going back to that NBC interview for a moment, the reporter was also asking Donald Trump about why Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence, was part of the raid of the Fulton County election offices, where they raided and took all of the 2020 election ballots. And Donald Trump's description of Tulsi Gabbard is that she is foreign governments. He refers to Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence, as he describes her as she's foreign governments. What do you mean she's foreign governments? Are you saying that she's an agent of foreign governments? Play this clip. Why is Tulsi Gabbard there?

13:17I don't know, but a lot of the cheating comes from It's international cheating. You have people, they say, from China trying to... You put this on true social. Do you think China tries to influence our election? We know that foreign governments try to influence a lot of things in this country. Well, therefore, she's foreign governments.

13:37Ben Meiselas:And of course, you know, at the Midas Touch Network, we have to get expert opinions. So we have Dr. Vin Gupta, who leads Midas Health, renowned doctor, renowned physician. And here's what he says to us about Donald Trump's behavior recently. Let's play it. Ben, from the very start, I think, number one, he's the president of the United States. So let's hope he's getting beyond the headlines, the care that he needs. He does have a family history, importantly, of age-related dementia. His father famously has been well-documented, Fred Trump, had age-related cognitive decline. and then manifested frankly, and a lot of his family members have actually spoken out about this.

14:21There's a lot of similarities between what we're seeing more and more frequently. We're observing a lot of the trends that we first noticed a few months ago where there's a symmetry between some of these earlier signs in his case and what his father went through. Married Trump, others of his extended family have spoken out about this symmetry. But what are we seeing? We're seeing, again, we're just observing the facts here. Just to say we don't have his medical data. I don't have access to his medical chart. But this is what everybody's observing. And he's the president. So I think the scrutiny is fair.

14:55Word finding difficulties. The fact that he has inattention. You know, he loses his train of thought. Everybody is describing these speeches as meandering, covering 30 different topics in the course of, say, two minutes. He's meandering. So that's inattention. clear inability to express his own thoughts, difficulty completing a sentence, tangential speech, of course, memory issues. He doesn't know that he's talking about Greenland for even the course of a sentence, and he confuses it with Iceland. There's significant concern, and that's just on the nature and content of a speech.

15:35Ben Meiselas:More from Dr. Gupta here in terms of what he had to say to us. Let's play this clip right here. but he's lashing out. He doesn't have, he's having elements. I would say, you know, some people say, well, is he showing signs of early Alzheimer's or early just age-related cognitive decline? Perhaps. A lot of the symptoms that we just talked about are consistent with those diagnoses. Again, we're just observing what we're seeing. But frontotemporal dementia, you know, the acting out, behavior changes, lashing out, acting unreasonable. You know, one, again, one could say this is his core fundamental personality based on what we've seen over the last, frankly, his entire adult life, but it's getting worse.

16:18Ben Meiselas:And just taking a look at some of Donald Trump's family members, here's what his nephew, Fred Trump III, has said about Donald Trump's deteriorating health. 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 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 half timers, but, uh, it runs in the family.

17:01He, 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.

17:21Ben Meiselas:And here's what his niece, Mary Trump had to say about his deteriorating health. Let's play it. 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.

18:07She 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.

18:48It'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.

18:59Ben Meiselas:And I just also find it interesting that Donald Trump would say, you know, oh, I'm so upset they're going after Clinton, Bill Clinton. And Donald Trump said that with respect to the files, only Bill Clinton is on, like, it's Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, and I'm not on the files at all. You're on the files 38 ,000 times. I saw this one meme over here that says Donald, it's true, that Donald Trump, Donald Trump's name appears more in the Epstein files than Harry Potter's name appears in all seven Harry Potter books. Here's what Donald Trump, though, says about him being on the Epstein files. Here, play this clip.

19:36I have nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein. And in fact, if you look at the DOJ, they announced, you know, they released three million pages. It's like this is all they're supposed to be doing. and frankly, the DOJ, I think, should just say, we have other things to do because that whole thing has turned out, I mean, other than Bill Clinton and Bill Gates and lots of people that have, there are a lot of questions about it, but nothing on me.
