As a Senior Citizen I am aware of my cognitive condition. I am retiring next year from my 45 year career as a successful automotive technician because I know that I am at the point where I could become a safety liability to myself and my customers. I prefer to end with applause and gratitude rather than disgrace.
why not?
Sounds like you've earned it! Hope you enjoy your retirement, good person!
Same here. I wanted to leave while I was still relevant.
It’s about inclusion and avoiding age discrimination
Just remember that, in the absence of dementia, older adults are just normal adults. Please don't be influenced by society's incredibly ignorant attitudes towards the aging process. Studies have shown that older adults without dementia perform just as well at their jobs as younger adults.
Who is watching after the debate last night??
ummm yep !
👍
ditto
Me
The debacle you mean.
My mother had alzheimers and dementia. If I allowed my mother to be treated like this I would be in prison.
Its all about Jill. I bet these people are now "insufferable".
Same.
The problem with everything being politicized is showing concern that he’s suffering from dementia and mentioning he’s too old to be doing this job is seen as an attack so the problem goes unaddressed. All because so many people are terrified of admitting to being wrong and no matter how much we suffer they feel it’s worth it all so they can avoid taking any responsibility
Ronald Reagan was clearly suffering from the beginning stages of Alzheimer’s during the last two years of his presidency. The more or less were able to hide it without a 24 hour news stream and social media. They wouldn’t be able to hide it today.
That’s absolutely the playbook. It’s really awful what they are doing to that man
I’ll add that the elder abuse that Joe Biden is being subjected to, lays at,in large part, Jill Biden’s feet. How could any spouse allow what’s happening to him? I am not a Joe Biden fan. I never have been. But, this is so awful. My Dad has dementia. He has had it for close to 20 years. I would never, ever allow anyone to exploit him. It’s shameful.
Good points
"I think it's a perfectly acceptable position to dislike both Joe Biden AND Donald Trump."
YES! So many people are afraid to hold Biden's feet to the fire just because they don't want to look like Trump supporters. So long as Biden is Biden and not Trump, he can get away with anything. People need to know that it doesn't matter who's president. I don't care if it's Mary Poppins. Whoever it is, hold him/her accountable.
Then the same should hold true for Trump! But Biden is not breaking any laws. See my comments above.
I think it's more b/c we still feel so damn grateful that Trump did NOT get a second term!
@@carolynstine3465 >> Of course he is. He’s received quid pro quo from foreign entities like Burisma. At the very least he’s guilty of influence peddling.
For the record both Biden and Trump are unfit to be President !
@@daliakuwait Speak for yourself I’d take Trump any day over the 🤡 currently running the country.
My 92-year-old grandpa was taking a cognitive test and was asked to name the current president. He responded, “oh, that idiot?”
I'm sure after Ike Eisenhower I'm pretty sure he says that to everybody after Eisenhower
Joanna Cruz So your grandpa is living in the past. 🤷🏻♀ Like most republicans.
@@georgeeliot2012 How do you even know that his grandfather is a Republican? Do you think everyone who thinks he’s an idiot is a Republican?
Seems like your grandpa is still cognitively fit 👍
🤣🤟

FACTS 💯
I heard THAT.
Thank you for this video. I stumbled onto your site a few weeks ago. After watching several, I subscribed. You have an amazing talent of delivering fact based opinion with some hilarious dry zingers. Can’t get enough.
Ditto from me!
The question should not be whether he is too old, but simply if he is cognitively able to do the job.
For example, Senator Fetterman. Only 54, but it’s questionable whether he’s all there mentally.
We need an age limit like any other job. He’s past retirement age.
During Joe's term many, many things that are positive have gotten done.
But he doesnt brag about them. Hes old but things get done.
Compared to what went on between 2016 and 2020 I'll take the Biden approach.
liberals suffered this way from 2016 to 2020.
What good happened under Biden, for example?
@@bradsanders6954what got done? Lol
"Certain experiences will age a person prematurely and dramatically such as alcohol and drug consumption, spending time in prison, and watching the Kardashians".
I laughed so hard Doc.
Watching the Kardashians just lowers the IQ by about 20 points. Unfortunately, the people who watch them, cannot afford to lose 20 points........Tragic.
He can't help himself I swear 😆😁😌 I don't mine and I don't care but to other people they dont like it when he does this because they think he's talking down to the people he's talking about
Everything is always about Perception and Optics to a lot of people🤷♂️🤷
I laughed out loud at that 😂😂😂 He’s great and spot on.
That is the quote of the day!
too funny😂😂
I’m 69, worked as a health physicist. Now retired. I’ve noticed a slight memory decline from just 10 years earlier. He’s turning 80, no way he can lead.
Same for Trump - both are medically-compromised, and Trump is even a convicted felon. He can't vote, but can run for president! Can't we do better?
The mainstream media almost never talks about the serious stroke he suffered back in the 80s.
I really think there should be age limits for Congress and to become POTUS. The candidates should possibly get psychiatric evaluations, too. Some people in Congress are taking medicine for Alzheimer's. It's scary that these are the people running the country.
Couldn't agree more.
... and who's supposed to administer and interpret the results of these psychiatric evaluations?
@@dkhnova good point. I'd go with Dr. Grande for starters.
They should have to live long enough to experience the consequences of their policies. 70 yo tops.
@@lairofun-dereksyoutuberecr631 I'm not sure Dr Grande is qualified. Are you?
Queen Elizabeth II was 96 and lucid when she passed. Not everyone ages the same.
True. I've met a few very lucid people who were in their 80s, and I've also met a few people with nascent dementia who were in their 50s. I wish presidential candidates were required to take a test for mental acuity regardless of their age.
@@zxyatiywariii8 Not to get personal, but my own mother died at 102, and she was perfectly lucid.
Time for an update on this topic Dr. Grande, please!!😉
You addressed the thought I had, that it was “Joe’s turn” to be president, due to what I am not sure, but they gave it to Joe for whatever reason. Not sure it was right for any of us.
"Watching the Kardashians".. number one factor of degenerative aging here in America.
The Kardashians are a barometer of complete societal decay. They never did a single thing worth mentioning.
Never seen it. : )
My grandma got her license revoked for being too old, and this man is allowed to be a leader of a whole ass country
Not for being too old. Probably had disorders or couldn’t see.
eli savage - what is an "ass country?"
Although we all know he's not actually doing any of the leading (if you wanna even call it that)
@@ashleighsparkle8810 my grandma is easily more mentally sharp than Brandon
@@karlepaul6632 true he just reads a teleprompter
Love the jokes you sneak in ! You get me every time, never know it's coming! Always enjoy listening to you! Thanks!
I love how Dr. Grande never even cracks a smile when he has just said something hilarious.
I agree, hilarious
Thank you Dr Grande! I love your accurate analysis and at the same time make me laugh!
The person who is actually running the country is the teleprompter operator.🥺
Lol
The amusement and fear that shot through me when reading this comment is off the charts 😮
😂
The president of the philippines; PRES.FERDENAND MARCOS JR.💎❤️, he never need it, telepromter😊
He can't even read the teleprompter anymore.
I’m a SNAM in a private corp and I have to undergo cognitive tests from time to time, not to mention training and team building activities. All because I manage a £ 15 mill portfolio for the company. I can’t fathom how a man who manages the largest superpower in the world isn’t mandated to do the same. It’s mind blowing.
First, i very much agree with you. It's ridiculous. And second, as much as I hate to be political on a channel that seems to really devote itself to rational and balanced analysis, the progressives in our country are VERY powerful. They control most of the institutions in our society. The opposition party's response has not been great. And it will take at least a decade or two to build a cultural response. Why am I saying this? Because the double standard applied to Biden's fitness vs Trump or even Reagan when he was around is appalling. It's totally unfair. But it's the world we live in..
Commercial airline pilots are required from commercial flying at age 65. Why not politicians?
@@dontarguewithidiots7459 It's crazy the amount of bias there is in all things mainstream. I'm in my mid 40s now and it wasn't always this bad. It leaned left always but it's gotten to absurd ratios. Media, university, corporate, government, so on and so forth.
Joe Biden isn't running anything. The guy doesn't know what day of the week and is just a sock puppet. The bigger concern is WHO is really running this country and savagely running it into the ground.
@@peggydavis6418 i would only say that the mental requirements are of a very different nature.
They don’t go around calling him the potato and chief for no reason.
Extremely well done!
Many (most?) hospitals require a regular cognitive assessment of any physician on their medical staff age 70 or greater. Why not for the guy with his finger on the nuclear button?
The deep state would be heavily involved in this- we cannot let assessments happen.
It would be political anyway, no president would ever "fail"
@@Aaron-kj8dv I think that's a narcissism that Dr Grande is talking about
“If I were to list all the mistakes he made during his political career, I would have to work past my retirement” bruh that subtle joke right there 😂😂😂🤣
There's nothing " subtle " about it, and that it is so should trouble you.
President Biden has decently served his country for many years. Yes he has made gaffes but which of us has not? I got in an elevator once with my boss and realized I had forgotten her name (I was 30!).
@@bthomson Many of his scrambled, cognitive absences have been diplomatically referred to as "gaffes"- they are NOT. Rather, many have been startling lapses in working memory or troubling embellishments in memory, neither of which are permissible or safe for the country or the leader of the free world. When you forget a coworker is dead and look for her in a meeting that's viewed by every wicked despot on the planet, you telegraph that the leader lacks the mental acuity to protect and guide this nation.
@@wot4me2 💯💯💯
@@bthomson I agree with you, I have no issue with President Biden. I think he’s doing a great job honestly. I just.. the remarks Dr.Grande (the CZcamsr in this video) makes out of no where without implying some sarcasm just make me laugh so much.
I always question if I can trust the current president with the nuclear codes
“I think it’s a perfectly acceptable position to dislike both Joe Biden and Donald Trump.” Dr. Grande, you truly are the voice of reason! Why does it seem the majority of the country cannot seem to find the fact in your statement? Why does anti Biden have to equal pro Trump, and vice versa? Yes, I have to hope America can do better.
Exactly!
“The age of the President does not matter as much as the condition they are in” 👏🏼 just one of many examples why I like Dr Grande’s analyses and hearing his rationale. Thank you as always Dr Grande! 🤍🌵
Edited to also add his humour is just deadpan and gold lol
@@enaquasanitas7017 if you’re referring to his quote, it’s not a matter of not knowing this but rather appreciating the fact that he pointed it out ✌🏼
@@princesspeachxoxo your respectful reply is well done and noted. Enjoy your day!
Exactly. Have you seen the condition Joe's in?
Dr grande, sit-down comic, lol
Age matters. Sorry. Even the fittest 85 year old is not going to have the mental agility of someone in middle age. The brain ages and changes, period, usually unbeknownst to the owner of that brain, which is one of the problems. They certainly may be able to do other jobs, but not these types of life and death decision making occupations. Surgeons stop performing surgery by a certain age for that reason too. Besides that, 80/85 year old people should not be making long term decisions for the younger generations that have to go on living with those decisions. The 30/40/50/60 somethings should be deciding what kind of country they will live in, and should have a chance at being in positions to make those decisions, not the 80 somethings who, in spite of their denial, will not be here that much longer and on some level have lower stakes in these matters and especially 80 somethings who have spent most of their lives in these positions keeping the younger generations out. There is no reason that someone of that age who is completely (and beyond) financially secure, should be allowed to continue on deciding for the majority of people how they should live their lives. They grew up at a different time and it shows.
Referencing the Kardashians was the highlight of the video 🤣
Thank you Dr. Grande. Love your sense of humour.
I laughed for ages, still laughing on the inside. 😂😂😂😂
The "Ks" are low hanging fruit!
You beat me to it !!!Lmao
Agree!!
I read the comments before I watched the video. I thought he was going to say some people, like the Kardashians, never had any cognitive function, even in their twenties or thirties.
Thank you so much for making this video!!!
He cracks me up hahaha
The Kardashians jab was priceless.
Since there is a minimum age requirement for the presidency in the Constitution, I wonder if the only reason there isn’t also a maximum limit is that back in the 1700’s, life expectancy was SO much shorter that cognitive decline was not even considered back then. We should address this problem now, but it will probably will never happen because so many of our politicians of both parties are elderly. Next best solution would be cognitive tests, but they’ll fight that too.
We live in a gerontocracy, and this will not be changed because the people who would have to change this would lose their positions. You are right, there should have been a maximum age limit set in from the start. And not just for the presidency.
I would love both a minimum and maximum age requirement for the US presidency.
Don’t look to Mitch McConnell to get that done!
🐢🐢🐢
@@mdelong6989 There already is a minimum
You are right. This country really should have better options than what we have had in the past few decades. I love your analysis
It has had better options. People just want to be conformists and vote as if their one vote might be consequential in a way vastly different from the reality.
The problem is that political positions are a mostly closed system. Enter by becoming a senator early on, and spend your lifetime climbing the political ladder, possibly being chosen by the political elite to run and for and be president one day. Donald Trump was an anomaly.
@@serialamateur yes, you pretty much have to be chosen by the political elite, and then you have to be sanctioned by the corporate media. Someone who is too different than the standard will be called "unelectable" by the media, and this will create the belief among the populace that the outlier can't win. It creates a self-fulfilling prophecy where people don't vote for the one that might actually change things because the media has convinced everyone they're not "electable."
I agree completely!!!
That’s all I’m asking.
We didn’t elect his advisors. He visited a radio station on 4th of July and said he was the first black woman to serve a black president. Then confused the 4th of July for Christmas.
Needs an update. Media and WH gaslit the public for years on his cognitive health
It’s very odd to me that in a country of 332+ million people, Biden & Trump are the best you can come up with ?? 😢
True...but there's 1.6 billion people in China and Winnie the Pooh has been in charge there for a decade. So yeah, it's a whole world of crazy we live in.🤔
Pierrette Herbert, Yeah that's exactly it. We have a lot of brilliant people but a small percentage make it to the white house for some reason. Maybe it's partly the fault of our fascination with people who are in Hollywood or on TV?
Doesn't speak much for freedom of choice if two dickos are running and the only choice you have is between an orange wanna be mafioso and another one that cannot keep his hands off little girls.
The issue is the incompetent media. They have become the de facto PR wing of the Democrats, ensuring that any woke boob the Dems put forward will receive the endorsement of every media outlet and receive gushing coverage. Conversely, regardless of who the republicans put forward, they will be reviled and receive 24 hour negative coverage. The corrupt and incompetent FBI will investigate them and manufacture crimes. This is what we have become. (Not that Trump was someone that deserved to be President)
@@tomruth9487 two things can be true at the same time.
It’s also deeper than what appears on the surface.
“They” have been a theater show for quite some time now.
As a non-American, I speak for the rest of the world when I say: This is truly terrifying!
Where are you?
@@Brutus_Kennedy_Rutherford_III As a non American I can see that you don't care, you elected a corrupt, treasonous cabbage who couldn't run a bath never mind a country, enjoy your coming poverty.
It is terrifying....I just hope they don't let him near the nuclear codes and the launch button like they let him around little kids to molest!!! This country has been in sad shape ever since this corpse was allowed anywhere near a position of power!
As an actual American, I can tell you Trump is 1000 x's more terrifying and dangerous than Biden.
It is scary because this man is the leader of the free world.
Nice to hear an educated and impartial opinion on the matter. Thank you!
His attraction to young girls should be addressed too!
Seriously! There are a ton of videos of him sniffing their hair. Disgusting...
It’s really sad/pathetic that his own wife doesn’t want to get him off center stage.
You mean "get him off, center stage"?
She is an ID*OT. She should be spending her golden years with him. She lives with him, she had to know he wasn't fit to start with. She wanted to be first lady so bad, no she is going to be spending her golden years changing his diapers. F her.

@@cradames He's been a massive improvement on the disastrous four years before him. The inflation and gas prices are global issues that aren't his fault. He's accomplished a fair amount so far.
Your analysis of almost 2 years ago was spot-on and so relevant, that today the problem can no longer be ignored.
My boyfriend asked who I was listening to, and I said “His name is Dr. Grande. He’s smart, he’s dry, and he’s funny as hell!!”
His stated refusal to be tested cognitively speaks volumes. His excuses for refusing are exceedingly lame and dishonest.
That's bcuz he is lame and dishonest. But the liberals wanted him. What does that say.
ditto ditto ditto 👍
He's had at least a couple of strokes. He would never pass even the easiest cognitive tests. I bet he can't even dress himself in the morning or know why that is a good thing to do before going outside.
SMH. TRUMP SUPPORTERS really suck! I'm glad the overthrow of the government got nipped in the bud 🇺🇲
Is there anything Bieden doesn’t lie about?
If we get back to a place where we expect our elected government officials to do anything other than look out for themselves, their family and their cronies, then getting people with mental capacity will be more important.
Cant wait.
I am 64 years old and was diagnosed with cognitive impairment about five years ago. Before being diagnosed, I knew something was wrong; my thought processes were becoming more difficult. I can't imagine that Joe Biden is unaware of his cognitive decline. It is so obvious to everyone else. I usually vote blue, but the thought of Joe Biden staying in office four more years is troubling.
Poor man. Breaks my heart that his colleagues will not admit his illness and help him.
I can't fathom why his wife is pushing him to keep running for president. If my husband had problems with mental acuity, I'd be encouraging him to retire and spend time with his children and grandchildren, NOT running for one of the most stressful jobs in the world.
I always enjoy the dry, random humor you incorporate throughout your analysis.
Agreed. Dr. Grande's interjections of subtle humor compliment his balanced, factual delivery and competency!
Especially the various random digs about New Jersey 😃 (seemingly not in this clip, but you need not look far...)
It can be funny...but it does show hes a bit down the totem pole in his profession !
amen
Brilliant aint it.
More people need to speak the truth like you do rather than following their party's line.

@@keithpugh7538 what about Trump who knew that was coming.
@@brian106699 Stating the obvious is bias?
I personally believe mental capacity and fitness to preform duties has more bearing than age. I also feel that the colleagues and staff working closely to anyone who has shown a pattern of signs related to decreased cognitive and/or behavioral capacity has a duty to advocate for their country.
My brother in law had dementia it was slow to start and the real way it showed was with the angy it would flare up for no reason and disappear just as quick but it got worse and worse. He had to be held under mental health reasons. He shows these traits.
Had a great uncle with dementia, a very devote Christian all his life, but when he got dementia or Alzheimer's he would flare up over nothing, cursing people and calling them horrible names. These were things he would have found horrible before dementia.
I worked at a school as a teacher for 4 years. The principle and founder of this private school was over 85 years old. She was incredibly sharp and certainly fit for her position.
Okay
Any of us who had President Biden's schedule and responsibility might find ourselves tired and not quite perfect in our utterances!
I know many oldies who are sharp as tacks, they have invaluable experience. I don’t want any of them to run the country though. It’s too taxing of a job and too important for very elderly people to do. I don’t even understand what kind of person would want to live their final years in politics.
@@bthomson His schedule is very much reduced and he doesn't do Q &As.
My father is 89 years old and is still running our family’s business. Totally sharp, has a better memory than most, helps the community, extremely smart, dresses in business suits, attorneys go to him for advice and to seek professional solutions.
Plus, he doesn’t look his age, extremely active, walks fast and goes up the stairs like nothing.
I can relate to your comment.
May God bless this wonderful woman principal as well ✨ I hope that she writes a book of wisdom.
Edit: added to my comment 😊
The real question is: who is really in charge?
Obama
Jill.
Obama
The people who got the 40 Billion sent to Ukraine,
Obama and Pelosi
Great analysis, totally agree! I was stunned that the presidential candidates whittled down to Biden and Trump, then somewhat shocked that someone with as many flaws as Biden could become our president.
He's only in office because of election fraud. Literally everything was better under Trump. The economy was very strong, the border was in the process of being secured, there were a slew of foreign policy triumphs, the list goes on and on. Biden is the figurehead puppet they knew they could control 100%. Problem is his mind turned into absolute Jell-O and now they can't hide it. What a sad, and pathetic state of affairs for this once great nation.
He forget someone was dead because they were unimportant to him and his job. He made the statement on them, which someone else wrote, on a day when perhaps a thousand other things were going on. He is the same as he was 20 years ago, I have followed him for at least that long.
As the daughter and a sister I have seen it. My brother in his fifties with dementia and my father with Alzheimer’s. Neither one made any sense. The saddest was my brother, he would swear he would see things that he THOUGHT he saw. My father stayed his sweet self, but the mind was gone.
Seeing him wander off so confused like just makes me sad. It's just depressing to see people on the decline
I feel more sad & depressed for us tho
Yes, especially when he's taking the whole country down with him. I realize he may not be the one actually running things, but he still has the title of president. It's not a good look to have the titular leader of the free world doddering around like a lost sheep. It doesn't encourage either confidence or respect among the global community. 🤔
My first reaction was compassion and feeling sad but then I reminded myself of how he was and things he was saying and doing when Biden was younger. No pity whatsoever! Yep, karma is a….dog female😂
When you have nuclear weapons at your fingertips is even more scary!!!!!
Totally agree. It's really terrifying
Our country going on as usual shows that it isn’t really the president who’s “in charge” This isn’t the first time this has been true. The Manchurian President comes to mind. I’m only proposing what could possibly be happening in a situation like this. Thank you so much Dr G for your astute assessment.
It is the Elephant in the room, he is clearly having Major difficulties even exiting a Stage now.
Well, I am 75 years old. I feel that I am very sharp mentally. I take care of two little pre-school grandsons, I am a vegetarian, I do not drink, smoke, or use alcohol, and keep very busy daily. I had my yearly physical a week ago, and all of my labs were in the "normal" zone, including my BP and my BMI. I plan on living a lot longer, mainly because I have never watched the Kardashians, thank God! As far as Biden "not acknowledging the truth"...after all, he IS a politician.
Hi nana
@@Zoooooooooooo Hi!
@@Nan-Elle can you make me cookies!?
@@Zoooooooooooo Of course.
But would you commit yourself to a full on all consuming full time role for 4 years? That is a big take for anyone.
She was 12 and I was 30! 🤮
That nuanced "I don't have confidence in either candidate and America can do better" stance is one that gets lost in the highly-polarised age of Twitter wars. You can only have two options and you must defend one of them to the death, because the Web is so often where nuance goes to die.
Dr Grande - your subtle deadpan is hilarious, but draws into question your objectivity. Don't stop!
It’s true that this type of obvious cognitive hiccuping would interfere with the very core of critical thinking skills we demand of our leaders.
Who is demanding this? Republicans will let anybody run regardless of lack of qualifications, intelligence or moral integrity...just as long as they win the popularity contest
Dr. Grande you are so right! I am 85, physically and mentally fit. I attend a gym 2 times a week and for mental stimulation, other than watching marvelous documentaries on TV I do the cryptic crosswords (which are guaranteed to keep you sharp if you can even do them) It is not the age, but the mental and physical fitness. Poor Joe is messed up.. Love your show. Keep up the good work.
Cheers Pat in New Jersey
Idk who you are but please be the President. You'll be better than Biden
@@tgs5725 the point of getting someone not so fit is for the benefit of the party, he is a vulnerable elder that is easy to manipulate and control. President's don't have much power to begin with, but having someone not quite there as the symbolic puppet makes it easy to go on executing party goals with no resistance from the one person that has the authority to push back. This is elder abuse and benefits only the people around him.
@@dd-kapibara1070 "he is a vulnerable elder that is easy to manipulate and control." OR, in Biden they have someone whom insiders can blame when the xxxx caused by his handlers hits the fan.
Biden's mental deterioration aside, his policies are impractical and wrong-headed. For example, an Open Southern border during covid, a Fentanyl epidemic, and terrorists; a needless proxy war with nuclear-armed Russia; needless inflation caused by stupendous spending; Biden in his first week relinquished our energy independence to a regime that publicly. beheads people.
All in all, Biden is a disaster whom the American people should have known was a disaster. But the voters were entrained to think 'Orange Man Bad.' Media unfairly demeaned Trump for years night and day.
Trump might have had an objectionable personality sometimes, but his policies were pretty practical. Unfortunately, due perhaps to media propaganda, the public couldn't distinguish between Trump's policies and Trump's personality.
Let's hope Biden's health holds up. Kamala Harris is even worse than Biden.
Thanks Dems for handing us President Biden and VP Kamala Harris. What excellent judgement ;-)
Excellent talk-you are so droll! "Many people wish they could forget that Joe Biden was President". Ive often admired the fact that Americans seem to let relatively older people continue in their professions. There doesn't seem to be a lot of age discrimination compared with other countries. I was surprised however that at the last election, there were only two choices: Biden & Trump. In a country the size of the USA, I thought there would have been more candidates to choose from.
there were more candidates but it was narrowed down to two
1,212 people registered to run for president. Which is the exact reason we have primary elections, to whittle it down.
There are more candidates. There are just two major parties, though.
The people pulling the strings in the dnc choose who they believe has the best chance to win national election and they do whatever it takes to lut them on the ticket. Intelligent, highly educated,well liked and qualified people succeed and settle in rhe private sector.
Thank-you.
This video deserves millions of views!
Why would Joe’s wife and family let him continue like this? He’s being used.
When my father was no longer capable of driving safely, my brothers and I started talking to him about giving up his license. He refused to accept there was a problem, he refused to discuss it with the doctor, he refused to get an eyesight test, he completely dismissed us. There was nothing we could do (the doctor wouldn’t discuss the issue with us). I’m sure there are people around Biden using the situation but the family might be helpless
You never know what is going on behind the scenes. My mom had early onset dementia. My siblings were pressing me to take our mom to practice driving, after she failed her exam, twice. I was really frightened by my mom’s driving. I told my siblings that there is no way mom should be driving. They didn’t listen.
His wife knows 100% he is not fit for the office of president.
That breaks my heart. He needs to be retired .
Lets just say that certain people's sons with drug and sex scandals, who also just so happens to have had illicit business dealings in China and Ukraine were probably threatened with investigation and prosecution unless their father cooperated and agreed to be used. He did it to protect his family from their crimes, and is probably as much a prisoner of the system as the rest of us. Problem is that his mind is going quickly, and more and more people are beginning to notice. Methinks the powers that be are about to start the gears moving on getting rid of him now that he's outlived his usefulness. 🤔 If the GoP sweeps the midterms next month, Brandon will be the first person the Dems will blame, just watch and see.
I love how this channel has blown up in the past 2 years! You have enhanced my life considerably!
I’m always happy to see a new video come out- even if I don’t agree with some of your positions- which is rare- I’m always grateful to hear / see a calm presentation of another view to provide balance to my reasoning. I’m not republican or democrat- so my vote doesn’t belong to any party - i vote for the best candidate. I knew Biden/ Camilla would make a mess- and they have!!! If Biden had at least chosen a stronger VP - one who was actually a front runner with Joe- I wouldn’t be as concerned. 🤦🏻♀️SMH
Indeed ✨
Wherever Joe Biden goes there should be circus music playing in the background
You are doing a great job with these videos, very enjoyable to watch. Thank you. Also, unbiased.
The problem is that generally the type of person who gets to the point where they can run for president is not the type of person you'd want to be president (though they might try to hide it).
Well there are many moral people who live their lives without a blemish. Too bad they don't run for office
my mom is 85 and sharp as a knife, my dad is 83 and basically senile... nothing to do with age
I absolutely love your unbiased analysis on these types of situations. The world needs more voices like yours.
Some people can be extremely sharp past 90 years old while some start declining a lot faster sadly :( I had a neighbor who served in WW2 and would tell me stories a lot that used to walk a lot early in the morning and late and night and he was 94 and extremely sharp on memory and speaking skills. Sadly I haven't seen him in 2 years about now :( He was an engineer in WW2 and told me to always try and read books during my downtime to learn more and was so nice.
Being mentally fit at 90 doesn't mean you are mentally fit enough to be President.
I was in the Army for 4 years. I was dx with Parkinson's disease at 26. I worked full-time until, taking medications and waiting for meds to work, began to interfere with my abilities to function. I was medically retired at 36. I had maxed out all of the daily recommended doses of my meds in an effort or attempt to perform high level daily work activities.
I'm 58, I've had Parkinson's for 31 years. I have had to face my limitations, head on. Being self aware is a blessing and a curse, that a lot of people do not have the full impact of.
At any rate, there came a time, that I had to admit that my cognitive impairments could be a danger to myself and others. I was forced to stop riding my motorcycle.
Learning to accept, learn, take full responsibility for my actions, despite what I wanted and needed, were a necessary evil. I had to go through all of that, to become a better person. I believe that I am a better Granny for it.
It's a shame to me, that someone else has the ego, to put their own life, wants, needs and desires before their own country.
IMO - I agree. I don't get it. Why isn't there someone who is a licensed, certified mental health professional to provide guidance to all our presidents? No one is perfect. Currently, we have never been closer to nuclear war, our energy policies are helping to fuel the recession, and crime appears to be out of control etc. I don't care which party a person wishes to vote for. An incompetent president is nothing to take lightly, and can have very serious consequences..
He was put there by Leftist operatives. They picked the dumbest because he and Kamala are the most easily manipulated. Don't f.. with the Bidens. How about this: don't f... with the American public.
Hats off for you for keeping so long with this horrible disease. My aunt lived with Parkinson's and dementia for 14 years before they started taking hold of her. She did everything she could to slow down the progress and exercised her mind and motor skills: crosswords, sudoku, fidgeting, gardening, etc. She was fiercely independent, always active and headstrong lady and it was heartbreaking to watch her deteriorate and become a shell of former self
I agree with you 100%. God speed and God Bless!
That's extremely early in life. Please look into as many alternative treatments as humanly possible. Bless your journey.
‘HE’S NEVER LET REALITY GET IN THE WAY OF HIS AMBITION BEFORE, WHY SHOULD HE START NOW?’ That has to be one of my favorite “Grandeisms” I have heard yet. Love you and your witty commentary Dr Grande.
Was that comment about Biden? Sounds more appropriate to Trump.
@@dakrontu no it's to all of the above
This is so much one of my favorite sayings I had to actually screenshot this
You mean centrist Joe Biden?
50 years in politics?!!! I think it’s time to retire
So fun to revisit after the debate lmao
"I think it's a perfectly acceptable position to dislike both Joe Biden and Donald Trump."
And with that the doctor has just crashed the brains of about 90% of commenters.
Accept u had to vote for one of them
I don't like Biden because he's a liar and a racist. He's also unfit to be president on many levels.
I don't like Trump because he's weird. He was also was a great president.
Perhaps more people than you assume can separate the personality of the man and his capabilities of doing his job.
@@mikehawkins9114 No.
@@mikehawkins9114 I do not, did not, and will not.
No you did not.
Perfect, well articulated, and seasoned with subtle humor.
I LOVE his subtle humor!!
Joe or Dr. G??? 😂😂😂😂
I didn’t even know about all of these recent slip ups. This is just sad now, no wonder it’s kept out of the mainstream media
The mainstream media has never really reported it.
Dad had Alzheimer’s and my brother in his 50’s with dementia. It eventually took him. He had to be institutionalized because he got violent. Once it took over completely, he was put into a nursing home till he passed. It was absolutely horrible to watch his decline. Married with two teenagers and owned his own car repair shop.
RIP. My grandfather went the same way.
Seriously my dad had Alzheimer’s. They don’t exactly lie, they make up stories to fill in blanks, it’s called confabulation. And when I told him when I was in the car with him that he couldn’t turn left on red he got mad at me and insisted he was correct so I took away his car keys. He never admitted he was slipping, he’d always been an extremely competent man and who worked into his 70s.
Unfortunately my mom is in her first stages of it😢 and it’s very sad.
Was this on a one way street? What’s the full details
My dad, too. 😔
What happened when you took away his driving privileges and the car keys?
@@PoM-MoM He prolly got pissed and tried to argue with her but she had to do what she had to do. What in the hell do you think happened?
When the title of a Dr. Grande video is a rhetorical question that answers itself🤫
With all that being said the democrats are shocked at his performance in the debate.
You forgot, Refers to the Australian Prime Minister as "That guy down there" ...
Thank you for clarifying the difference between actual age and cognitive ability.
It’s not that he’s too old, it’s that his cognitive ability started decreasing before he ran for president. Look at a clip of him in the 80s or 90s, and compare it to him today.
Since I recently turned 18, the 2024 election will be my first time voting. I really hope we get some younger candidates on both sides
Basically if the person who is running for president or any office should at least be able to function as well as a supervisor or cashier at a supermarket. If they would not be hired for that, they should not be in office.
Dr Grande choosing his battles this week haha, love to see it. Thanks again doc.
There’s quite a bit of variation in functioning at 79. Mick Jagger is very close in age and is still performing. I don’t think our current leader couldn’t take a sh*t without supervision.
Yet for the guys in the band of King Crimson cannot do the same even though they are the same age as Mick Jagger they had to cancel their whole Rock Tour for this year and next year because they cannot mentally take on the performance that it needs to take to be on stage
Respect !! What a super analysis. Your dry humor is spot on as well
It seems to me that our society is forced into a situation comparable to the tale of "The Emperor's New Clothes."
- maybe I missed it but you didn’t mention his TWO aneurysms - and if you look at videos of him from barely five years ago he acts much more lucid, speaks in a much more rapid and robust tone, and was a much more responsive and alert horse’s ass.
I know right! His eye freaking exploded on stage! 😮😮😮
I have no idea how Jill Biden can let this man continue on as President in such a condition.
@@sonnygunz5178 Jill is probably responsible for his running for pres
@@robinpigeon2070 really? I had no idea. Well then shame on her.
Just to know those enurusyms were detected and clipped makes it a "glass half full "as someone who works in the medical field.
You are so right about politicians and their declining cognitive abilities! I live in California where Senator Dianne Feinstein, still in office as a Senator, 🙄, after 40+ years in politics; she can’t remember what she did a week ago, and rarely shows up to cast her vote for her constituents! Some say she’s embarrassing herself by continuing her term with such high decline and others say she has served her State for SO LONG, she is just entitled to keep her seat. To remove her would be disrespectful.🤨 I think she should retire gracefully and do right by the voters that put her in office for so many years. She represents a large population of Northern California and watching her become ineffective and incompetent, is a huge slap in the face of today’s voters. When is it a duty, to make those decisions for the greater cause? Great content as always Dr.G!!
She’s not going to give up her power. Why do people keep voting for her?
The people of California effectively have zero representation because Diane Feinstein won't do the right thing and step aside, AND those in power are more concerned with not "disrespecting" Diane than they are with the laws, the rights of the people, and the will of Californians.
She actually represents the entire state of California…it seems like a real shit show out there. All of my family hauled ass out and went to Texas!
It's far too late for grace.
Just look at phony- pelosi like she's having too many martinis at lunch, before she gets in front of a microphone.
A video about his severe codependency problem with an addicted family member would be interesting. He said on record he loved him and couldnt live without him. Could be transferred grief from his other son?
I'm sure that's not it. You love your kids, no matter what problems, or trouble they get into. Many times, the troubled child can be even dearer to your heart. For many reasons. I just think Biden is in over his head, at his age. He shouldn't have run in the first place, but people wanted something different, after the bombastic Trump. And boy, did they get it!
@@LDiamondz he wasn't the best choice for president, he was the best choice for defeating Trump. And given that he only won by a small margin he was probably the right choice.
@@dianelundrigan631 Yes, you make a valid point, and I agree. 👍
I really appreciate your non political approach and well reasoned analysis.
