Chapter 1: Why is Fox News panicking over questions about Donald Trump's cognitive health?

0.149 - 25.358 Ben Meiselas

if you want to see fox just absolutely lose it bring up donald trump's accelerating cognitive decline if you even raise the question they have a utter freak out so when i had democratic leader hakeem jeffries on the midas touch network earlier this week I asked him, do you think it's a fair question that we raise Donald Trump's cognitive decline as a significant issue right now?

0

25.438 - 45.036 Ben Meiselas

And he goes, when he travels the country, he gets the question frequently. And he said, looking at Donald Trump's conduct, he understands why people are raising that issue with him. And he says he thinks it's a fair question. So throughout the entire day yesterday, Fox was focused on why would Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries ever bring this up?

0

45.136 - 69.251 Ben Meiselas

And he should be talking about former President Biden. Just take a look over here at this chyron. It says, Jeffries, fair to question Trump's mental acuity. And like on the Will Cain show, they brought on Democratic Congress member Dan Goldman and they asked Congress member Goldman, come on, come on, Congressman. How could you ever possibly raise an issue about Donald Trump's mental issues?

0

69.291 - 74.374 Ben Meiselas

How could you ever do that? Watch what Democratic Congress member Goldman said in response. Play this clip.

0

74.674 - 83.461 Will Cain

I could debate you on each and every one of those things you just laid out, but I don't think you can call it whatever you want. I think that's an incorrect statement, Congressman. I think words have meaning and they matter. And I think you know that.

83.882 - 93.409 Will Cain

I think we have to be careful with our words, especially if we're not trying to inflame the public and most certainly if we're trying to arrive at the truth. And after four years of having us gaslighted over the...

94.19 - 108.528 Will Cain

competency, the mental acuity of the previous president, it's absurd to question, even if you disagree, Congressman, and clearly you do with much of the president, the competency of the sitting president today. I think the accuracy and truth of those words do matter.

109.929 - 131.248 Dan Goldman

Well, I don't think he's competent, Will. I don't know what to tell you. Whether his cognitive abilities are sufficient to get past the 25th Amendment, you know, we don't know that right now. But I think what is clear is that he has driven our country into a disastrous economy. He has undermining the fundamental rule of law and democracy.

131.348 - 141.735 Dan Goldman

He is taking away benefits in order to cut taxes for the rich. I think even you, Will, would have to agree with me that this first 100 days is not at all what he promised the American people.

Chapter 2: What are Democratic leaders saying about Donald Trump's mental acuity?

401.906 - 413.733 Hakeem Jeffries

Donald Trump spent the last year and a half questioning the cognitive ability of President Joe Biden, notwithstanding many of the legislative accomplishments that Donald Trump could only wish he got over the finish line.

0

414.053 - 430.344 Hakeem Jeffries

And so I think it's fair that a lot of Americans across the country that I run into are questioning whether Donald Trump is actually fit at this point to be able to carry out the duties of the United States of America in terms of being the president and the commander in chief.

You ever have one of those date nights where you're scrambling to find the perfect outfit, something that looks great, fits right, but still gives you some breathing room for that steak dinner? Yeah, I've been there. You start with something that looks good in the mirror, but by the time you sit down at the restaurant, that tailored fit is suddenly feeling more like a compression shirt.

The curved hem crew, the knit oxford, and their compact knit chinos are all game changers for date night. They're stylish, they fit perfectly, and unlike most clothes with this kind of tailored look, they don't come with a ridiculous price tag. And let's talk about winter essentials. Long-sleeve Henleys, fleece hoodies, button-ups, joggers.

Now, going back to the incident at Walter Reed, when you had Ronnie Jackson, now Congress member Jackson from Texas, when he was Trump's doctor, here's what he said when he was asked about Donald Trump potentially having mini strokes at that time. Here, play this clip.

535.423 - 544.829 Reporter

Yes. There was an incident recently where the president appeared to slur his words while giving an address. Did you look into what the cause of that might have been at all?

Chapter 3: How does Fox News respond to allegations about Trump's cognitive decline?

1117.04 - 1118.341 Unknown Speaker

I think it's probably better.

0

1119.182 - 1144.14 Ben Meiselas

You know, I think about what Senator Bernie Sanders told me. And he said, you know, Ben, sometimes the things that are kind of most obvious and are most glaring are the things that are discussed the least often. And I think if you put all the puzzle pieces together and go, OK, corporate news isn't reporting on this. That's kind of strange because it seems pretty obvious.

0

1145 - 1167.184 Ben Meiselas

Fox gets very worried the moment it's mentioned and devote a ton of coverage to trying to swat it down. You had Donald Trump's communications director, Stephen Chung, like freak out when Joanna Coles basically said, like, Nothing even that significant about Donald Trump's health. And we just observe his behavior right now.

0

1167.244 - 1188.671 Ben Meiselas

As I said before, I don't want this to be used as an out for Donald Trump to one day avoid accountability. And I don't want to just try to blame his actions. disgusting behavior on a physical issue because there could be complex explanations because he's still vile and he's still disgusting. But I think it's something that needs to be talked about more.

0

1188.791 - 1201.236 Ben Meiselas

I'm going to use the platform to talk about Donald Trump's declining cognitive issues more. But you see that it certainly is very worrisome to Fox. Anyway, let me know what you think. Hit subscribe. Let's get to 5 million subscribers.
