0.031 - 2.033 David Sacks

Hello, what's up?

0

2.053 - 17.85 Otis Jiry

Of course you're in our kitchen. Do you even need to ask me why? No, because we're going to have a tasting menu of eight different kinds of food in the kitchen. I'm sure because you bought all these amazing kitchen tools for a really good price. They're made to be used.

0

17.91 - 27.76

But who's going to take care of the dishes? It's nice that you asked, because in fact... In fact, there are good tools for every business. The question was then about your or your friend's project.

30.878 - 70.426 Otis Jiry

We focus on health, so Santa can focus on the most important things. Terveystalo is Santa's official work health partner. It's again the time of the year that everyone has been waiting for, so the customers are in a hurry and in a hurry to keep. First a gift, then to the grocery store, sometimes to clean and also to pack. Kinkkuuni, boxes in the kitchen, it's about to start.

70.446 - 90.332 Otis Jiry

Food on the table, glöggs in the kitchen and to eat. Then we share the gifts, we repeat the same the next day, but without gifts. Sleep on the day of the ban, finally and finally try the best time of the year when the ice cream falls to the ice. Ice cream young MM competitions, starting on 26th of December on TV5 and HBO Max.

91.088 - 117.552 Ben Meiselas

State regime media, which calls itself Fox News, devoted an entire segment to attacking my little brother, Jordy. Hey, state regime media, you don't attack my little brother, Jordy. And they attacked him for saying, he goes, Jordy said on the Last Midas Touch podcast, he goes, I don't think this should be a political thing. I'm just so pissed that the White House continues to gaslight us.

117.532 - 143.704 Ben Meiselas

Over Donald Trump's deteriorating health. And now they're saying that the reason that Donald Trump's hand looks discolored and the back of his hand always has these bandages over the discolored hand is because he shakes a lot of hands. And Jordy just said, just enough is enough. Just stop. with the lies. So state regime media didn't like that. My brother Jordy was saying that.

143.724 - 170.259 Ben Meiselas

So they devoted an entire segment and they're like the leftist podcast. Midas touch is saying that they don't believe that Donald Trump's discolored hand is caused by all of the handshakes. Of course it's caused by the handshake. These leftists then go on to say that Donald Trump has some zombie disease on his hands. Okay. First off, Jordy never said that Trump has a zombie disease on his hand.

170.64 - 186.57 Ben Meiselas

What we're pointing out is that it's obviously a lie that the reason that his hand is utterly discolored and he wears this bandage is because of handshakes. And by the way, that's not even where the hand actually shakes. Like when you actually watch the video of how a handshake...

Chapter 2: What prompted Fox News to attack MeidasTouch?

431.429 - 452.031 Kevin Hassett

Well, the man is almost 80, but he's also a machine. I mean, he barely sleeps, he works around the clock, and he constantly talks to the press. And meanwhile, Biden always slept, worked sometimes, and never talked to the press unless they're asking him about ice cream flavors. But some people are still living in opposite world when it comes to these two presidents.

0

453.091 - 478.862 Dr. Vin Gupta

President Biden was active on the weekends, especially riding his bike in Rehoboth Beach. 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, you might take trips overseas in Air Force One.

0

479.362 - 487.07 Dr. Vin Gupta

That doesn't substitute for the lack of physical activity. There's a reason to be worried based on his public performance.

0

487.09 - 495.379 Kevin Hassett

Well, Biden also fell off that stationary bike, so here to discuss it is Clay Travis, Outkick founder and Fox News contributor.

0

495.639 - 516.367 Ben Meiselas

Now, you also probably saw recently that Donald Trump posted the interview that I did with Eric Holder, former Attorney General under the Obama administration, where Eric Holder said that we need to really have a serious discussion about Supreme Court reform because this right-wing Supreme Court is rogue.

516.707 - 531.31 Ben Meiselas

This right-wing Supreme Court is causing significant harm to the American people, and they're not reflecting where 70% of Americans are, 80% of Americans are on most issues. So then Donald Trump

531.29 - 553.939 Ben Meiselas

post our interview state regime media which calls the fox was focused on it as well and it's the interview and then trump's like obama sycophant former attorney general did this interview and he said that uh he wants to work supreme court reform we need to we need to eliminate the filibuster now look what these leftists are doing so then

553.919 - 569.785 Ben Meiselas

After state regime media attacks us, they try to make the case that Donald Trump is in great health. So here's how they tried to do that. They have Jesse Waters say that you can't be a dictator with dementia. Here, play this clip. You can't be...

569.765 - 593.553 Ben Meiselas

a dictator with dementia you can't suspend an election and then forget you spend suspended an election trump didn't need note cards to know who hillary clinton was and the guy has the longest memory of anybody he remembers every slight every name every statistic the man is a lot of things he does not have dementia Then they have Howard Lutnick. Again, they're attacking our reporting.

Chapter 3: How is Trump's health being portrayed by the media?

599.586 - 607.602 Ben Meiselas

And Lutnick's like, Donald Trump, he sleeps less than me, okay? He barely sleeps at all. Yeah, that's a sign of Alzheimer's and dementia.

0

Chapter 4: What claims are made about Trump's hand condition?

607.582 - 621.523 Ben Meiselas

I'm not suggesting that Donald Trump has or doesn't have any. I'm just giving you opinions. I mean, First Amendment opinion protection, right? But here's what Lutnick says, because what Lutnick says would be another sign of Alzheimer's or dementia. Here, play this clip.

0

621.763 - 639.51 Howard Lutnick

Give it all we've got. The president sleeps less than me. I sleep five hours a night. The president sleeps four hours a night and he's working all the time. He calls me late at night. He wants to talk about the day. He's on it all the time. It is the most impressive thing you've ever seen.

0

639.53 - 663.043 Ben Meiselas

So, Howard, you got to watch. Then they bring in this guy, Dr. Mark Siegel. This guy is a quack. And this guy is like all the executives are getting preventative MRIs right now, just of the abdomen. So it makes sense that Donald Trump would work. would just get MRIs of the abdomen. Okay, that's not a thing. There's no such thing as a preventative MRI of the abdomen.

0

663.063 - 665.546 Ben Meiselas

But here's what Dr. Siegel says. Here, play this clip.

0

665.566 - 684.568 Howard Lutnick

They're going, oh, why is he having an MRI? Well, because that's, by the way, what executives do now. They have MRIs of the heart. Dr. Fuster at Sinai is doing them on a lot of people. Has screening tests. And he had some leg swelling. They went after that. So he had an MRI. Looks normal. But Biden, by comparison, was not normal. He had MRIs.

684.548 - 688.211 Howard Lutnick

Medical problems, you have prostate cancer, you have cognitive problems.

688.231 - 713.593 Ben Meiselas

Okay, so we'll put our doctors against the Fox doctors any day of the week. So that was the Fox doctor. So I'll let you all decide for yourself, right? That's the Fox medical expert, Dr. Siegel. Let's take a look at the Midas Touch lead doctor, Dr. Gupta, who runs Midas Health. And here's what he said when he spoke to all of his radiology colleagues when they told him, play this clip.

713.573 - 728.528 Dr. Vin Gupta

Well, Ben, 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 Midas and Midas Health.

729.449 - 755.472 Dr. Vin Gupta

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.

Chapter 5: How does MeidasTouch counter the claims about Trump's health?

788.971 - 807.052 Dr. Vin Gupta

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.

0

808.935 - 816.143 Dr. Vin Gupta

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.

0

816.359 - 831.4 Ben Meiselas

And then when it comes to Donald Trump taking cognitive exams over and over again, here's what Dr. Gupta said. And Dr. Gupta, as you know, leads the Midas Health Initiative. Here's what he said about that. Play this clip. Dr. Gupta, I know you got to run. I just want to close the loop on one more thing.

0

831.52 - 844.358 Ben Meiselas

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? This level of, have you ever heard of that? Like with that level of frequency? No.

0

844.338 - 864.81 Dr. Vin Gupta

nobody takes a montreal cognitive assessment mocha for short where 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 when nicole wallace yesterday i thought she said it beautifully you know

864.79 - 882.816 Dr. Vin Gupta

Saying that you're passing it every other week, it's not some sort of flex here that he thinks it is. 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 MOCA with that type of frequency. And again, it's not the flex that I think he thinks it is.

882.796 - 900.433 Ben Meiselas

And then you'll see here Laura Ingraham and Siegel, this doctor from Fox, say, well, yeah, you know, who cares that Donald Trump sleeps all the time? You know, that's normal in meetings to just randomly fall asleep in meetings. That's all the rage, what everybody's doing. Here, play this clip.

900.734 - 926.114 Dr. Mark Siegel

Well, we all know that he doesn't sleep. You know, I'm not a big sleeper either. So, you know, on occasion, I close my eyes. If someone's talking for too long, I admit it. But big deal. I mean, the results speak for themselves. What President Trump does on a daily basis. If you sleep three hours or four hours a night, you're probably going to close your eyes, whether you're 79 or 49.

926.274 - 928.277 Dr. Mark Siegel

I don't think that matters.
