Welcome back in. Thank you for being with me. You're very welcome. All right. Look, neither you or I are rocket scientists, but we know something's wrong with you all. Okay. So I don't think it takes, you know, any real serious, you know, education to come to the conclusion that Joe Biden is in trouble here. They're coming up with excuses. Did you hear the latest one? This is serious business. He went to McLean, Virginia after the debate and he said, listen, I wasn't very smart. I traveled the globe, you know, a hundred different spots and, you know, hours spent traveling and it's basically what he was saying was, you know, it was jet lag. My mistake. Are you kidding? He was a Camp David for eight days. Chillin by the ocean or not by the ocean, but chilling at Camp David with his, you know, his aides and prepping and relaxing and I mean, come on. So I wanted to get your thoughts. I'm glad you're with me. What, what, what is really going on here? And is it as bad as we all think it is or are the spin doctors bringing up some good points that it's just a bad day? It's a bad day for America. That's who it's a bad day for. This is, you know, I have been saying this since 2020 since he was running from his basement, I called it encroaching dementia and it has encroached evermore since then. In fact, it's encroaching at an accelerated rate in the last month or so with his, with his first with his speech at West Point when he was disoriented. He didn't really get it that he was supposed to be shaking hands with the graduates. He was just looked totally blank. Then D-Day where he went to sit down when you weren't supposed to do that. Then Juneteenth when he was frozen and then the Hollywood fundraiser where he had to be let off the stage because the Easter Bunny wasn't available. They had to be let off the stage by Obama. Yeah. I remember, I remember. So, so this isn't any cold or any travel problems or, you know, tired. I mean, you know, he had that week to prepare. And I think what happened, I mean, one of the things that happened was that they gave him certain lines, like, you know, gave him certain points and said, these are the important things you have to say. And so he would start with a point and then he didn't really realize what the point was, you know, he would start with a phrase of something that was supposed to be important. And then he didn't really understand what he was supposed to be saying about that. And so that's why he kind of got lost in mid-sentence. You know, one of the one of the one of the highlights from that debate that I remember was when he was stumbling and bumbling and he just and Donald Trump's face is, you know, a picture of the worth a thousand words. He just staring at him, just letting him, you know, take the rope out further and just keep going, go ahead, keep going. And then he wraps it up by just saying, we beat Medicare. What does that even mean? We beat Medicare mentally. What's happening right there before our eyes? What's going on? Well, it is the kind of dementia I in my opinion. I've never met him. I did ask him in an open letter that was published to take a mental competency test. And he still hasn't called. But, you know, it's this is the progression. This is the normal progression of a kind of dementia. You know, it's not clear yet what kind he has, but his brain is basically deteriorating. And so little by little, you know, it started out where we were noticing his, his memory gap. But then it's gotten, you know, even in his first, if you remember his first when he ran the first time, he showed some of the signs then to like, like memory, of course, but also when he yelled at the guy in the audience at one of his campaign stops because he asked him a question, he didn't know the answer, he didn't remember the answer. And so he said something about you're a dog-based pony soldier. Oh, yeah. Remember that? Oh, yes. That that's an example of emotional mobility, which is another symptom of dementia, you know, just getting irritable all of a sudden, you know, lashing out. Yeah. Well, let me ask, let me let me ask you about the progression of dementia. Is it something that starts off slow? Like we've, you know, like you said back in 2020, oh, here's some signs because you're a doctor and you noticed it. Does it speed up as it grows and gets worse or does it slowly stay on the same 30 mile on our pace? It just, it gets worse, but it doesn't get faster. Is this going to get worse by next week and next month faster than we've ever seen? Well, yes. I mean, you know, first of all, it kind of depends on the patient and the cause and whether they've been treated or not because that's the sad part. You know, we now see even more clearly about how Jill just wants him to be President. So she can be a first lady and be on covers of magazines and so on. And she didn't take him to, to adopt her when she, to what she would have seen these signs. She wouldn't have understood what it was, but she would have had to have known that there was something wrong. Now, if you have dementia and you dementia isn't curable, usually, I mean, depending upon what causes it. But if it's real dementia, it's not curable. However, it is, you're eight, you are able to slow the progression with certain medications and certain other treatments. And so he, you know, he would have been able to have this progression flow. If, if he had gotten from the beginning, you know, from the first time that he had gotten treatment. And yes, the fact that it's accelerated, as I was saying, as we saw in these certain events, that is a very bad sign. You know, I don't know if he's going to make it to election day. Yeah, yeah, you're not alone in that, as we see with more Democrats coming out and now calling for him to step aside. And if it's going to continue to progress, there's no way anybody really feels good about the potential of him being in the White House. 75% of American Democratic voters now are saying we really would prefer somebody else. So I think it's coming sooner than later with a decision on this one. Dr. Lieberman, thank you so much. I appreciate you this morning. You're very welcome.
