To anyone surprised by Biden's debate performance,
I HIGHLY suggest you switch to new media sources.
Or expand to others as well. I like to get my news from several sources.
It’s wild that this is a shock to millions of people
I would say if the source hid this, they're not news @@sufyb6432
Underrated comment. That would fix everything.
@@sufyb6432 that's the fix...we need a variety. One of the concepts that the US educational system gets right is to require a variety of sources when researching/writing papers...it's the most reasonable approach to take in coming up with opinions.
The thing I’m most shocked about is that people on the left only just now realized Biden was like this. He’s been doing these things for 3 years now. There are videos of him speaking 3 years ago that were just as bad.
They can't keep up the Dog n Pony show if acting like they dont see it. They have to act like its this huge shocker, even though everyone know he has been this way and they have been lying for 4 years+.
The thing I'm shocked about is that people still pretend that Biden's on the left. He's been center right his whole career no matter what label one uses. Of course now he probably doesn't know where he is, let alone what he believes.
They knew
If your in a colt you don't go against that colt leader> lockstep commie MSM.
"A single dose of cocaine enhances prospective memory performance"
Google this. It is peer-reviewed study. Joe is doing his son Hunter's stash. Lol.
Google those words, word-for-word. You'll see the articles. This makes me laugh (yes algorithm).
One telling sign of Parkinson's is a persons gait and walk pattern. They have a tendency to stop and sometimes even back up. I saw this 2 years ago and I caught so much flack. For reference I was a clinical social worker for over 11 years and worked with a wide range of folks with many health conditions. I was shocked they allowed this to go on for so long. The people surrounding him should be charged with elder abuse and exploitation. I have made many reports to adult protective services in situations much like Biden. Where adult children, providers, home staff would exploit them due to their compromised cognitive state. He was being propped and puppeted for far too long. The depth of corruption and blatant disregard for human decency by his administration is CRIMINAL
Agree. He walks like my dad who has Parkinson's. The face as well. The speech.
Even though I can't stand the guy and he's one of the biggest crooks in government, ever, period, I agree. It's vile.
I, too, am a licensed social worker and could see that Biden was failing even before he was elected. If you aren’t brainwashed anyone can see that his mental state gives his handlers the opportunity to do what they will in running the government into the ground. The country is a mess and you have to ask yourself why.
💯
@@chantaleplante5741 I’m sorry. It’s so hard on the family. Parkinson’s, Dementia, and Lewy Body is difficult as it takes everything away from your beloved piece by piece.
He didn't lose his train of thought, it went completely off the rails
And the vacant stare and gaping mouth when Trump was talking was awful.
The train never left the station.
The diagnosis makes no difference. He is not able to carry out his duties. PERIOD.
This shows how much the Democratic Party actually cares about the nation's well being. It's all about THEM and their power! Zero integrity!
It's not just what he says, his speech slurs and trails off. I wonder if he's having difficulty swallowing at times.
“F U if you can't handle the truth. This version of Biden, intellectually, analytically, is the best Biden ever."
- Joe Scarborough March 6th 2024 on MSNBC
Where has old Joe S. been lately?
Yes I cannot believe that guy said that on morning show TV!! Vulgar and disgraceful!!!
"A single dose of cocaine enhances prospective memory performance"
Google this. It is peer-reviewed study. Joe is doing his son Hunter's stash. Lol.
Google those words, word-for-word. You'll see the articles. lol
Joe Scarborough is a malignancy of the highest order.
🤯
It's NOT about one debate......this has been going on for 3+ years.....
For me it was: "That Corn Pop, he was a bad dood" - at that Corn Pop moment, that was the "OK, we're done here" signal.
"Let's go Brandon, I agree" was a stand out moment. How could he not be aware of what the phrase really meant?
No I think he was ok the first two years ( I mean as far as aging) But I knew he was fading the last year. I am a retired nurse and took care of lots of older people.
@@karenkaren3189
They hid him during the last campaign. He’s been gone a long time. Please consider questioning yourself for the safety of any patient in front of you. You lack conclusive reasoning.
and lying for over 50 years
My grandma had dementia and to think that she would be the president of the United States, in that state, is unthinkable.
If this isn't evidence that the President is and has always been a puppet and distraction I don't know what is.
she can. that is how dem works lately. you can be a head of secretary too. no requirement. but must be a gay.
I met several in the memory care facility. Some of them did not know if they were the president or not.
😂😂
@@jrstf my grandma used to say that she taught Tiger Woods everything he knows! Lol
It’s actually unbelievably disingenuous that people are PRETENDING that this hasn’t been blatantly obvious for over FOUR years now…
The mainstream media failed to report on several dementia episodes that could be viewed on other media sources.
Maybe we were "fooled" by the remarkable performance of his administration, and his own hoodwinking of Republicans twice on budget deals. The way he worked the GOP live on two State of the Union speeches also gave people to think that despite aging and stiffness, he was still on his game. I also am informed about his daily schedule, which includes lots of boring receptions, remarks, meetings, phone calls, signings, that media won't cover because it doesn't get clicks. So, as someone who wasn't a Biden fan, I am pretty damned impressed overall. To me, changing horses midstream will through us into chaos, so despite the warning signs, I say to support the president, take him to a win, and then consider options. The all important thing is for Democrats to win this election all down the ticket, and I worry that replacing the candidate at this point would NOT be pretty.
@@linguaphile42Not many American citizens were fooled by the man who threw our economy and security into a critically dangerous state. To go forward with a man in serious cognitive decline is irresponsible. This is the president of the United States we are talking about. The man who kneecapped the middle class, who halted our most precious export of oil production and distribution. This is a man who added 10% to the number of Americans living below the poverty level, which includes children. This is a man who has allowed hundreds of illegal immigrants to be fished out of the Rio Grande River who died from drowning, including children. No one is safe from harm with Joseph Robinette Biden as Commander -in-chief. And the sooner the Democrats admit and correct their mistake, the more innocent lives will be saved.
@@linguaphile42 I can't even imagine being as delusional as you. The state of the union speeches he gave were among the most embarrassing events I've ever witnessed, and in neither speech did he ever focus on the state of our union, rather spending his time fearmongering about the 'other side of the aisle" and talking about foreign nations. His administration is failing on many levels, as its been staffed by completely unqualified diversity hire figure heads. I mean name a single positive thing Kamala Harris has done in the past 4 years. Bidens 2025 budget plans would send inflation skyrocketing, and we'd be in a space similar to Argentina pre-Milei by the end of 2028. Voting for Biden is quite literally dooming the country unless we have a republican majority in the senate to block his insanity.
@@linguaphile42 Wow! It appears that you are either a troll working for the elect BIden regime or that you have no expereince or education regarding dementia. Keep on believing your lying eyes.
Parkinson’s disease, Progressive supranuclear palsy, Lewey Body Disease are all in the differential.
A “bad day” is not.
I think it's DLB. The symptoms are aa good match for what we've seen even the hallucinations. I would like to know more about his sleep patterns though.
I go for vascular dementia. Fits all the symptoms and is in line with his previous medical history.
@neilreynolds3858 He has the Parkinson's mask and hallucinations happen to Parkinson's patients later in the disease, particularly due to medication given to help the patient move.
Not just a bad day. A cold too. And he had travelled a week prior.
My mother has LBD/Parkinson's, diagnosed 5 years ago. And she has long term ambulatory issues from a car accident 53 years ago. It was only about a year ago that I would say it was more obvious she had dementia (what most people typically think of with dementia). Before that, a perfect stranger wouldn't necessarily be able to tell she had dementia unless you spent a good amount of time talking to her.
Biden definitely has some kind of cognitive impairment. Lots of symptoms that I see that are more particular to that rather than just random vague symptoms.
As an RN, immediately I observed a clinical picture of Parkinson’s signs and symptoms.
Me too. And I am not a RN
As an RN you don't diagnose, it's not in your scope of practice. I've worked with Parkinsons and that's not what I saw at all. I do see a lying, unhinged, unqualified Trump though.
I'm an RN too, and I see some neurological problems with Biden, not going to diagnose either. If Biden refuses to be tested, we'll never know.
@@faithallen1169he himself and his handlers would never agree to such evaluation. This would defy the consistent theme of non disclosure
@@steveo3831 Of course.
In the 2020 primaries he was like this. Spacing out and freezing until Jill ran in and grabbed his shoulder, he also had an interview where he repeatedly interrupted and said "that was stupid" referring to himself, apologizing and slurring. He's also disappear after major events for weeks. Suddenly this is this big epiphany to everyone? There was a period during the start of the Ukraine war where his meds may have been optimal but he's back to where he was. Also his social legislation is unusually feminine for him. Clearly all the legislating is done by committee. It's crazy if you think about it. Scandal upon scandal, and just seeing him is very bad for the psychology of the country.
And it makes our allies nervous and our adversaries happy... It scares the crap out of me.
There are videos from decades ago where he's incomprehensible. Nobody listening can figure out what he's trying to say. H.L. Mencken said that one day Americans would elect a President who was brain dead.
His social legislation is feminine? What is that mean?
I also want that to be defined.
@@SuperDflower I mean the amount of things trans and lgbt related, the holiday of visibility for example. It might seem weird to label that feminine but that's the association with leadership in most institutions and it's not that believable to me that those where just his preference of executive actions.
So also in the primaries of 2020 he had these fairly inappropriate angry outbursts.(calling people Fat and saying things like I’d take him out behind the gym, also the dog faced pony soldier came from that time) I told friends I thought this was emotional disinhibition and began to suspect out loud that he had atherosclerotic dementia
He has been speaking gibberish, having gaffes, losing his train of thoughts, and misremembering things since they primaries back in 2019~2020, but I think what we’ve seen increasingly is whatever drugs they pump him with have started to not work anymore, or not as long. He sounds so weak compared to then, but even at the beginning of his presidency, he would wander off to where he has to go, try to greet people that aren’t there, and constantly fall. One of the first things we knew of him as a president… was ice cream. He’s been treated like a kids since the very beginning, and I’ve been baffled all along how people can see elderly abuse such as this and say nothing, and NOW they act shocked.
Also falling up the stairs, falling down onstage, and off his bike
It’s also when he tries to shake hands with invisible people, or he tries to sit down when there is no chair.
dood, he has been like this since 2019. he hasn’t taken open interviews since 2019, his staff only scheduled 10am-4pm. sundowning 100%
That why he was campaning in his basement. And even there. If you don't vote for me. You ain't black😂
Libs get their “news” from MSNBC, NYT, and CNN, so it would be impossible for them to know about this. They believe in Russia Gate, Covid hysteria, climate crisis, killer racist cops, white supremacists and parents at school board meetings are our biggest domestic terror threats, the list goes on. And then they vote 😒
What I’m most concerned about is who is charge of this country and why isn’t the media pushing this?? What happens if the crap hits the fan at 3AM? Who is making those quick, hard decisions?
Here's what we can assume: not him.
duh. The media is owned by the corporations.
Jill
CIA FBI Pentagon all Depends on the nature of the problem.
They'll tell Joe after breakfast.
@@Ann-jl4dzBig Mike and husband.
Vinay is simply built different. Consistently impressed with his clarity on these kinds of issues
Anyone making excuses and lies for JB are the same people who would immediately want to kick Trump out if he preformed like Biden did. His progression reminds me of my brother in law that had dementia. The shuffle, the blank or confused look, the forgetting mid conversation all the same. It’s scary to have a president in this condition. He needs to be replaced.
I specialize in care for Dementia and Alzheimer's patients and I have specialized in said field of care for the last 8 years.
Joe Biden should BE one of my patients...
"A single dose of cocaine enhances prospective memory performance"
Google this. It is peer-reviewed study. Joe is doing his son Hunter's stash. Lol.
Google those words, word-for-word. You'll see the articles.
Sure....just not with trump..🙄 Honestly..There's a minimum age of 35 and there should be a cap of maybe 70 ...75 ...
@@FuzzyDoxie yeah. They can sub in Kamala, whose brain functions about as well as Bidens.
The people making these ridiculous excuses suffer from the obvious condition... TDS.
Absolutely, and Trump is unfit to be president in every way. Both things can be true.
Finally.... an honest and accurate analysis. ....calling out the " partisan thinking" is so accurate. Your description of the " standards" we use to elect a president and the standard we use to treat an 81yr elderly man showing cognitive decline... COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. Thank you Vinay.
It’s unbelievable to me now how the dems are framing this as a matter of “loyalty” at this point….like, above mental competence??? Is this even America?? How can there be people going along with this?
Mannerisms, facial expressions, speech, confusion, falling, walking a bit odd! Many, many people have seen this, some in a family member, and it's been that way since history began. This is not rocket science, it doesn't take a doctor to know what it is regardless of the proper clinical label. And we've been noticing something obviously odd about him for quite a while now.
So now the question is: Why sould anyone have to reason with a non-reasoning pilot to not fly the plane? That's the degree of farciality in which this is being presented to the American people and the world.
We want Kamala even less than Joe but any average citizen could do a better job than either of them.
well said. the whole package is a farce. The corporations are in control. They have captured every department of "government"
I saw a presentation on dementia a short while ago where they asserted that dementia is actually a modern disease and not a part of normal aging. Alzheimer Disease is now referred to as Diabetes Type 3 ... so maybe dementia has not been around since time immemorial. I cannot remember the reference but you could do a bit more research if you are interested. Otherwise you are correct - it doesn't take much to see something is very wrong here.
@@kaoskronostyche9939 Agree that it may not have been common, the life expectancy was short though it does happen in the young in our time. Alzheimer's may be a desease of modern times but the idea of dementia has been around for a very long time - the cause(s) way back then we'll never know for sure.
@@olibertosoto5470 Sure, I can't disagree. Also the shorter life span would have "prevented" these conditions of age.
Like I said, I can't disagree.
Thanks for the reply.
Cheers!
Exactly. A president cant even have mild cognitive impairment for the complexity of the work. This seems well beyond mild.
The argument has always been that he doesn’t do any work and has never been the one in the charge. That he just does what his DNC handlers tell him to. Pretty compelling argument now it feels like.
Instead of covering for the potus, the media is now simply covering the potus.
Actually that’s not really true. The NYT has mounted a full campaign against him.
About time!
But should he be removed from office via the 25th amendment? What’s the bar there? I believe he is incapacitated.
Harris is the bar.
Nah, clearly he should be reelected. /s
I do believe the vp would have to act on that. Or he'd have to step down.
@@cncsphere Hahaha so true
Nobody wants Kamala to be President.
The VP seems habitually enebriated.
Truth is apolitical. Vinay, also apolitical. Thanks for being you Vinay. 🙏
Dr. V.P.,
Thank you for being honest as the details of the COVID-19 "vaccines" changed, and being willing to ACTUALLY follow the science. People like you and Dr. John Cambell, RN PHD, who initially were vocal advocates for following the WHO and CDC guidance and then dug deeper--and had the guts to say the truth--are my heroes.
Thank you for your honesty and remaining objective throughout the crisis!
May God bless you.
Jay
The details didn't change, btw. We were on this channel and John Campbell's begging them to look at the evidence before the shots were even available to the public. The science never changed, they just misled a lot of people and comforted others who weren't ready to hear the truth yet
The details never changed. Those of us who listened to the "cancelled" experts who didn't toe the line knew the truth from the start. Even now the truth is denied by many.
Heck I'm still trying to find out what happened to the Batlady from China..my late Dad would have told me I have to many irons in the fire.@@ericrawson2909
I listened and believed the COVID pandemic, I did believe from the start it occurred as a lab leak in Wuhan.
My belief is that the reason the vaccines were so readily available, from previous gain of function with COVID viruses.
I’m so disgusted with lying media!!
I appreciate non-partisan thinkers. Thanks for pointing this out.
Does anybody still believe the media???👀
As a non-American I am still extremely concerned that this man whom you are all concerned about, has the ability to bring on a nuclear war. Yes, it scares the hell outta me! You are right. We should all be worried. For many reasons.
Most worrying reasons for the other candidate. The "team" would never let Biden fumble with that red button. The other guy,well he'll get rid of any nay sayer,so...😵💫
Yup and the doomsday clock is at 90 seconds to midnight. This is likely to happen smh. Him being president affects the world
I've been saying for nearly a year that Biden has PDD. My husband has Parkinson's, but not the dementia. The videos show Biden with the same physical and speech issues my husband has. I can't imagine encouraging him to be president in the way our FLOTUS is! Elder abuse is going on in the Biden family. I sincerely hope they are removed from the WH this year for that reason, as well as many others. That vacant stare and gaping mouth during the debate though...
My question is what the hell is the supposed White House doctor doing? They’ve got him muscled. Or he’s completely incompetent to put it politely.
He needs to be fired and have his license pulled yesterday!!
He's like the "team doctor" on US Postal cycling team during the Lance Armstrong era. His function is to run interference and rubber stamp.
A lot of doctors are very political since their membership organizations are.
Had issues from day one. Declined to even campaign first go around.
2018?
I agree 100%. AS a 75 yo with parkinson's I am tempted to diagnose Biden. But as Prasad points out his diagnosis is irrelevant. Can he put in a 12 hour day and function in the middle of the night? We all know the answer. Next question: why is this temptation so strong?
God bless you , best possible outcome with your diagnosis and quality of life ❤
I think it's because he can't see his own decline. He beat Trump in 2020, and he doesn't realize how MUCH his cognition has declined since then, and how much worse it will continue to get.
@@Tamar-sz8oxt Thank you Tamar. Parkinson's is an isolating disease. The ability to reach out to others fades over time along with the facial expressions that encourage others to reach out to you. Thank you again for your sweet thoughts. You brighten my day.
It takes a 12 year old to know he is unwell. Any further discussion is an insult to the American people. He has been like this for 4 years.
My 10 year old nephew can tell he sick by how he walks so rigidly and does not use his arms. Something very unnatural with his gait indicates problems with balance a child can intuit.
People don't believe what's in front of their face for last 4 years. Not fit for job...simple.
THANK YOU!! I’m a healthcare professional that has worked in Cardiology, Tissue Donation and private care for hospice, Alzheimers and Parkinson’s: HE HAS PARKINSON’S. I’ve been saying it for 3 years. Yet not one actual doctor or healthcare professional has admitted what is Crystal Clear.
Cristal clear yes!
Pretty soon he won’t recognize even his family members, so when Jill tries to guide and lead him to and fro, he will react with fear or anger.
It might be better if that happens soon. So Jill can't keep hiding his dementia and he will have to step down.
My friend had to stop taking his Mom home every Saturday from the Alzheimer’s unit because she lived in such fear because these strangers kept kidnapping her!
The sad thing is we are addressing this now. A large amount of citizens brought up his mental fitness in 2019.
Disgraceful and dangerous for our country.
Absolutely!
Putin needs to be informed that nuclear armageddon is disallowed after 4 p.m. 😉
@@fezzypepper8525That's funny but also rather terrifying.
Sissyksgirl- The other guy is a pedophile To be released in Epstein files.. that will blow your mind
He has been this way for months and months if not years. We should be asking why are the media and the establishment. only saying something now? What are they up to? We are being played.
It's simple. The democrats and Dr. Jill want to remain in power.
Btw, you were only played if you believed Joe had been ok as there have been signs to the contrary for several years.
YEARS
They’re only saying something now because his poll numbers are tanking and they know he can’t win against Trump, so they’re trying to push him out. The media wouldn’t be saying anything if Biden had a chance of winning. This is a show of faux concern.
Ironically, at the end of the video, CZcams played that ad of Biden asking for campaign donations.
Two men unfit for a job are asking me for money to blast the airwaves and win votes? I think that my money would be better spent buying conservatives a drink and talking about their day.
Bang on! A president that can't be mentally on duty before 10 or after 8pm is not capable of giving executive orders in a crisis.
Sundowners.
His good hours are 10 am to 4 pm. Six whole hours!
the cognitive dissonance across the board is not only off the charts, it's exponential.
It’s now not that
It’s Marxism. Its ideological. They are gone. They in the Great Leap
Forward beginnings.
He is 81-82 and will be getting worse rapidly. He isn’t capable of making decisions that affect us all and potentially the world. Now. Much less going forward.
Up is down, left is right, 2+2=5!
Get with the program doc!...
This just shows you can take the smartest people in the world and make them idiots if they think with emotion and not using logic. This is the problem with political thinking. It's based on emotion, not logic.
Thank you for making this video. I’m a psychiatrist and it has been obvious for some time that Biden is experiencing cognitive decline. The partisan gaslighting from the media, the White House and liberal doctors is shameful.
Same here, a french psychiatrist .. all this story is a real shame…
Jacksonian71-hey Doc, you never noticed Trump’s dementia
I watched both of my grandparents go through the process of Dementia. Yeah, I’m no doctor but I’d say Biden has it. And I didn’t just figure that out last week. It’s been there the whole time.
I have to admit that I love it when you use technical medical terms like "complete bullshit."
‘’Ass kisser”!
If you had been the COVId czar during Trump’s administration, there would have been a whole different outcome!! I have watched you for a long time and you truly helped me make my decisions during the pandemic and about other health questions!! Thank you for being there with intelligent reasoning in this crazy world!!
trump and fauci authored the covid scam....
Unfortunately I takes a good knowledge of characters to select to right people you should listen to.
No, you need to do corporate bidding in order to get into those positions. Come on now. You already know this
Scott Atlas m, Trumps Covid advisor, was absolutely vilified by Tony Fauci and Francis Collin’s for speaking against lockdowns and school closures. He believed in “targeted protection” for those at risk. He was forced to resign after Stanford came after him and publicly lied, defamed and censured him. The same would have happened to Vinay if he spoke the truth about COVID.
What to me was the most disturbing, was the look on joes face.
It’s a death mask, if you ask me, it’s a scary look.
MD here…masked facies, stuttering gait, lapses in speech, occasional confusion… looks like PD.
But yes, fully agree, the question is can he actually do the job, be agile, quick thinking under extreme stress. handle high levels of rapid fire inputs??….this seems questionable.
Let's be real, there is no question. If a colleague of yours presented with this level of symptomology, then you would have a moral to intervene. That being the case, the president of the US has final say on the disposition of our nuclear arsenal.
Hey ‘MD’ you should look at the rigorous interview he just did on ABC a couple of hours ago. Not a single problem
No practicing MD could practice this disabled. No pilot, no bus driver, no crosswalk attendant.
@@carolinereidartist
That proves nothing. The man is debilitated, and that level of disability fluctuates. Everybody knows that. Dementia is like that..

We need more honest people in all careers who speak the truth. I appreciate it!
The signs of alzheimer was already present in 2019-20.
The alzheimer cought is an other one.
25 years dealing with my alzheimer father. It can't be more obvious.
2018 he was okay?
@sl4983 lol 😆
After watching my mother-in-law deteriorate from dementia for 10 years I noticed Biden’s mental health issues in 2020.
Our family missed the early symptoms and were unaware that my father-in-law was hiding her symptoms.
It wasn’t until she drove me to a baby shower in the country that I learned the truth. She drove through red lights, on the wrong side of the road, and ignored any driving signs. On the way back she stopped in the middle of a busy intersection and said she was tired and couldn’t remember the way home and just exited the car.
I had to convince her to get into the car to get her back home. She didn’t recognize me.
If I hadn’t been there she could’ve got lost, or died. She could’ve killed someone else.
A President with dementia, or any other age related mental issues is a worldwide serious problem.
Totally agree, think the pool we chose from for President is different from Biden regardless of the party.
So very sad to see so many in medicine having sacrificed their personal and professional integrity for political persuasion. The damage may never be overcome.
My PT friends and I have been discussing his possible diagnosis since 2021. I just reposted our educated guesses (they are only guesses) based on observation of the signs (shuffling gait, no heel strike, very little arm swing/trunk rotation, the loss of train of thought, the blank stare, the sudden angry outbursts) he presented even back then
on my FB page. Mine was senile dementia with a side of Parkinsons, and my colleague is conviinced it is LewyBody Dementia. It is just sad and somewhat disgusting that none of the people near him neither seemed to notice nor seemed to care.
If we notice, they most certainly notice. The truth is that they simply don’t care because the people around him get to invoke the power of the presidency via elder abuse. His wife and his son are both encouraging him to stay in the race. It’s absolutely disgusting to see.
even a lay person can see how his cognition is so declined, Also he has so much help and assistance in a daily basis and still has difficulty. Huge denial going on .
Great assessment. Fair. I especially liked your distinction between the medical question/concern and the political concerns. Keep up the great work!
This is crazy, sad days we are living in!
I love it when people say they don't let their bias color their opinions.
The biggest thing being overlooked was what I told everyone. 4 plus years ago. In the 1980s Joe had 2 anurisims the size and the procedure. Brain clips made it probable that he would develop serious decline mentally and physically.
Honesty and objectivity, always refreshing to see.
My mom has early onset dementia and she does that stutter, incept interrupts herself, tells a different story, and then forgets what she is talking about. She has no sense of balance. I feel uncomfortable with her driving. I can't imagine her trying to work. Definitely would never want someone in that condition to have the nuclear codes. 🙄
The framing of this being two different issues is quite insightful. I wish this were clearly delineated in the broader media and discussion.
U d Man Vinay......., world needs more people actually speaking some sense..... . All these Professors are as good drs as Dr Jill B.
It demonstrates the weakness of the US political system that a president can make his own choice to stay on even when he's palpably drifting in his mind. They have the power of a king, and the Supreme Court recently confirmed that.
Love how you focus it on the job requirements, not the diagnosis. I would hate for them to lower the Overton window so that if they can get a doctor to say a specific dementia diagnosis is ŕuled out, then suddenly everybody isnfine with another 4 years of Biden. I love your idea of a 4-hour town hall with at least some hostile questioners.
Biden couldn't even handle George's somewhat softball hour long interview.
Well... They didnt lower the overton window for everyone just their favorites. They have the bar way up high for the opposition. I remember some years ago news anchors calling for trump to quit or be evaluated for the simplest of things, I distinctly remember one time when trump tripped while going down a ramp. He didnt fall or hurt himself... Well they made a huge deal out of it. I am not even American so I dont care for their candidates but damn, I was laughing my a55 off at the incoherence when biden fell down the stairs, and then the bike and they didnt care 😂
Many of us were questioning this, and questioning the sanity of constantly voting for old folks period, from the very beginning of his run.

Thank you Vinay for being so thoughtfully unpolitical and talking about this issue-- especially for so many of this who watch Biden and see our own relatives who've gone down this road. It's a sad thing to watch-- for anyone who knows where this goes
It's sad and so very disturbing that it has to be pointed out that there's a higher standard for the president. Great video...I hope it goes viral.
Really great points. His mind should be VERY SHARP. Many are excusing him ,saying he's tired , or it's not that bad. It shouldn't be 'bad' at all! And YES, the partisan thing is huge on both sides!!
One needs a lot of energy to be president.
How is it that opinions like Vinay's are the exception and not the rule? I have little doubt that many of our pressing societal issues are as bad as they are because the press has failed to hold our leaders' feet to the fire. Instead, they're playing team sports.
MSM is the PR wing of the democratic party.

1) It makes them money 2) They don’t live in reality and they are gaslighting themselves.
All these months? All these years-before the last election.
I’m a general internist and geriatrician. He has classical Parkinson’s. Postural instability? Bradykinesia? Marche a petit pas? Stone facies? Off/on phenomenon? Falling asleep while listening to something? Slow, disjointed quiet speech?
Any physician worth his salt can diagnose him. It’s a clinical diagnosis. You don’t have to touch him-it’s essentially all observational, there is no blood test or imaging. Now whether or not he has dementia I would defer to someone doing neuropsychiatric testing on him. All his errors and gaps can be seen in Parkinson’s patients without dementia because of the above mentioned signs. But 50% of Parkinson’s patients do have dementia.
Parkinson’s is not a fatal disease, usually has a slow course, does have a variable response to medicines, and doesn’t automatically disqualify you from many occupations. But would the FAA pass him were he a pilot? In my state it might be difficult for him to pass a drivers license exam.
Standard of care for diagnosing and treating the average 81 year person versus cognitive bar to consistently perform duties required of a US president are two very different benchmarks for consderation.
Thank you for putting _those_ criterion into proper perspective.
Great points! He’s not fit for the job period! No diagnosis needed.
I'm a supporter of RFK Jr. In random order, here's some of my reasons for supporting RFK Jr...
-genuinely wants to heal the 'culture war' divide in our country, and he has the ability to, being liked by many different 'types' of people from across the spectrum of issues and ideas, who are tired of the 2-party duopoly
-has integrity, has courage, truth seeker in general, thinks for himself (not a DNC/RNC puppet)
-incorruptible, cannot be bought or bullied
-thoughtful and introspective, deeply considers problems and possible solutions
-vocal about the corruption of 'Citizens United' and the power of the big private money controlling government
-vocal about putting an end to corporate capture over government (Pharma, banks, oil, big AG, military industrial complex)
-wants to get us out of 'forever wars' and to pull back on and expose the corruption within the military industrial complex
-wants to pull back NATO and resolve the Ukraine war via negotiations with Putin, rather than perpetuating the escalation (which could truly lead to the most dire outcome imaginable)
-wants to bring the military budget back to 'Eisenhower minimum' and to instead invest that money in making us strong at home and in correcting our outrageous debt and growing inflation
-dedicated to rebuilding the Middle Class in our country
-dedicated to creating our country as a moral exemplar and economic force in the world, rather than as a militaristic bully
-vocal about the dishonesty and agendas of commercial media
-wants to abolish all pharmaceutical advertisements on television (this has major influence on the 'news' narratives)
-wants to keep the pharmaceutical industry honest with safety testing, transparency, etc
-wants to get rid of government assist crony capitalism and subsidies for big ag, oil, etc
-advocate for civil liberties
-vocally against censorship (will pardon Snowden and Assange on 'day 1')
-against mandates and police state-like policies
-classical liberal sensibilities with respect of others (without the 'woke' or fake identity politics)
-vocal commitment to transparency regarding FBI, CIA, NSA over-stepping and out-stepping
-would put the federal budget on blockchain to be fully transparent for all citizens
-passionate about environmental and ecological concerns
-passionate about investing in regenerative farming practice
-passionate about cleaning our food supply and exposing the unhealthy ingredients in processed 'foods'
-wants to bring preventative health more into public discourse; nutrition, exercise, etc
-will immediately close the border (this is not some republican scare issue, it is a very major issue - for many reasons)
-will send the necessary Asylum Judges to the border to expedite the process for legal migrants
-has an excellent plan to make homes affordable for all, including a program that backs mortgages at 3% and a tax structure to keep Black Rock from continuing to buy everyone out (this also will bring rent costs down dramatically)
-due to his family/background, he's well-learned from the inside of the various power structures
-due to his decades as an attorney successfully taking on major corporations, as well as government regulatory corruption, he is exceptionally well-suited for taking on the myriad of corporate capture over our government
*I wrote the list above many months before Oct 7, 2023. I should add, especially directed towards my brothers and sisters of the populist 'left' and populist 'right', 'progressives', 'libertarians', and people who are just antiwar, in general...
-RFK Jr. is in support of Israel (as am I). However, this in no way means he isn't also in support of helping the innocent people within Gaza. RFK Jr. has always been very aware of the conditions for the people within Gaza, and is especially aware of, and feels deep heartache for, the Hell they are living in now. He is a person who, as President, would do all he could to help seek lasting peace and prosperity for all in the region
-although RFK Jr. is a supporter of Israel, he is not a fan of Netanyahu, and has said repeatedly that he would not be writing him a blank check with American dollars to do with as he wishes
-there is no one who would fight harder or more tirelessly to reach out to everyone involved, as well as to leaders outside of the region, to try to negotiate and implement a sustainable peaceful solution for both the Israelis and the Palestinians. RFK Jr. would bring many ideas and a commitment to approaching the problem there from several different angles, and involving several other players. In fact, he would have been doing this before Oct. 7. (Simply yelling 'apartheid', 'genocide', etc is not in service of an actual solution - ask Hamas)
-and unlike anyone from the 2 major parties who supports Israel, RFK Jr. would never be lead by the corrupt (and disgusting) sheer financial interests of the Military Industrial Complex when it comes to any of America's foreign policy; including with Israel
RFK Jr is a leftist lunatic.
Unfortunately, the book that just came out highlighting the Kennedy men’s deeply troublesome behavior towards women, and in Bobby’s case his actions towards his second wife and his numerous “sexual conquests,” many of whom he actually would grade in a diary, probably signals the end of whatever slim chance he had.
He lost me at making it easier to immigrate here. Clearly it's already easy enough.
RFK Jr is a nice gentleman but if he were serious about mending the divide, he would not be opening his campaign with "Happy Indigenous Peoples' Day". I live with a high population of native American, one of my cousin's grandma was 100%, I want to say Choctaw, and my husband had some Algonquin. No one has EVER celebrated that holiday in my 46 years. He confused the heck out of his VP on his abortion stance, trying to pretend he's the traditional safe legal rare Dem and then being oh it should always be up to the woman. which by the way there is a disgusting video of a guy asking a lady how late is too late. She thought it was perfectly fine to "abort" a 3 year old. That's what "it's always the woman's choice" means to them now. Then he goes and picks the furthest left VP he possibly can. One would think if he wanted to attract anyone remotely conservative he would have tried for someone like Tulsi Gabbard. Most of Trump's core base doesn't trust her, and I don't really trust any of them, but I, and a lot of more center right and independents like her.
@@nordan00IDGAF about anyone’s behavior toward women. Women lie like rugs and anyway his personal life is irrelevant if he can do a better job for the country.
I love how Vinay stays objective in his analysis. I don’t understand why there isn’t a major news agency that takes this kind of angle. Seems like a large portion of the population would appreciate it.
I appreciate you Dr Prasad.
he didn’t have a stutter EVER in the 60+ years of politics
Millennials think the world started with them. He was a proud debater. Never a stutter how ridiculous.
He did so. He had a stutter as a child and adult
@Carol You should watch some of his old videos from the last century. Not a stutter to be found.

Brain is broken from partisan thinking.. this seems to apply to 90% of Americans😢 at least we can still come together for the Olympics.. go 🇺🇸
I don't like to watch sports and I have 0 interest in the Olympics, I'll admit I'm partisan. Politics are the most impactful thing on you and your family's life. The difference between North and South Korea is politics. Same land, resources, language race of people and past culture, vastly different standards of living and society.
@@tomray7449 we are what we focus on, my soul is more at peace when I see what binds us vs what separates us. Hope you and all enjoy the holiday weekend 🎆
I wouldn't give it 90%. Believe it or not...many people are in the middle. I think when the doctor was referring to "partisan thinking", he was meaning the EXTREME right....or EXTREME left. Those that are SO partisan, that they are in complete denial even when it's right in their face.
The MEDIA is to blame
Absolutely!
By media you mean the low information people who voted for him, riiiight?
@@user-bg7km4ij7f I mean the legacy media who have been lying to THE PEOPLE in order to get them divided…I see you bought it
The media, Biden supporters, and the Buden administration are all to blame.
@@cncspherethe media is supposed to hold our elected officials accountable…Of course the Biden administration is to blame, it’s about them, right? Biden supporters are indoctrinated and are living in fear…when “vote blue no matter who” was the motto for Biden I saw the indoctrination was deeply seeded.
I am certain he HAS been evaluated. I do not care what the diagnosis is. I am concerned about his level of Function. Whatever his diagnosis is...I doubt he is functioning at a level necessary for a president.
I also think the people around him are behaving appallingly in not allowing him to gently retire. His health should be the priority, and he should not be subjected to the difficult and stressful challenge of continuing his presidency.
Having a need to step down as a president is exactly why a VP exists. If you fear the idea of VP Harris becoming president...then she should not have been the VP choice. Appoint Harris president. If she cannot fill the role it will become obvious. If she does well she should be the DEM candidate, (no matter that I'd prefer RFK, Jr)..
He has a doctor around home WVERY day. He has been cognitively tested recently. He did fine in the highly rigorous interview today
It matters when you think about how many more years of life he has left. Some forms of dementia are deadlier than others and the mean expected life is less than 4 years.
@@carolinereidartist Stop trying to convince yourself he is well. That is why we got here in the first place. You seem to lack logic, which is normal for middle-aged leftists women.
I will vote for RFK. He is the only competent choice
@@neilreynolds3858 this is true, but not relevant to his inability to function as president. Either he is able to function as president, or he is not.
Nurse here, this looks like possible Parkinson’s, Lewy body dementia highly unlikely. I used to be the nursing director of a Geri psych unit, this does not look like Lewy body at all but Parkinson’s is definitely a possibility. The weird gait, mask like face, forgetfulness etc. screams Parkinson’s.
Look up vascular dementia. Fits all the symptoms.
That doesn't mean he isn't capapble of doing the job. Nor does it mean he's lost control of his mental faculties. Believe me, I know. My dad had parkinsons, sure he had a couple of brian farts and would get emotional from time to time. But he was completely capable incontrol of his faculties right up until he had his stroke; seven years ago. But even after his stroke he was alert and knew waht was going on. So no I don't think Biden is incapable of doing the job or should be disqualified. I believe that a Lying conman, who planned a coup d'etat and tried to over throw the results of a legitimately held election should be disqualified.
@@josephcooter5763- The President needs to be on duty 24/7- not 10-4:00.
Biden is in no way fit to be president.
@@Sissyksgirl He's more fit to be president than that Lying Traitor who wants to jail politcial opponents and anyone else who disagrees with himl
By the way, we ,may have already had a situation where the president had dementia while in office. Ronald Reagans son, Ron, Jr. has said as much. We actually go along ok.
That Harvard prof just proves how out of touch with the real world a lot of the Ivory tower residents are.
I think the real issue , which is not what Dr. Prasad is addressing, how did our system end up here with the choices presented.
Much respect and totally agree --that being said who’s your choice for president?
There is no shortage of people willing to lie for the establishment.
Coming from someone who has had two different relatives with Parkinson's and another with dementia, Biden to me shows stronger signs of having dementia and I have been calling this out for years. My experience witnessing Parkinson's is not this, I'd say a good example people can see of those with Parkinson is Michael J Fox, they have mobility control issues, but they are alert and are very engaging. The person I know with Parkinson is sharp, the struggle is primarily the shaking, not the communication.
Biden meanwhile ticks all of he boxes of what I witnessed of someone going through Dementia: the lack of coordination (not of shaking but of basic movements like sitting down in a chair or walking down a step), the shuffling, lack of dimensional concept (like talking to or interacting with air, the person I knew who went through this insisted they were talking to someone so it was almost like Schizophrenia), the cognitive comprehension decline (Biden had to be given instructions on a paper of how to appear in the press, he accidentally showed this when he flipped the paper to the cameras of the instructions, there's also the issue how he repeats the teleprompter word for word down to say "End Quote"), the lost look gaze and when tuned into acts giddy like they are a toddler, the rambling and mumbling, and many times how both scenarios they would structure sentences that made zero sense. And most of all, the main thing Biden has in common with this person I knew that was diagnosed with dementia, is they both have/had major memory decline.
All in all, this is elderly abuse and both the Biden family and the DNC are responsible for this. The signs were there for over 4 years, there's a reason why Biden bunker down in the basement instead of drawing in a rally crowd. This is a cover up and it these people who are in charge of our nation, and why we have WWIII at our doorstep.
In advanced parkinson’s you may have a cognitive decline .PD does not look like the same when you are 40yo or 80… a french psychiatrist .
@@pourquoipas971 The Parkinson’s person has had the disease for over 15 years now, the person is currently in the late 70’s close to 80, thankfully no decline in cognitive function. The person with Dementia though, that happened roughly 5-8 years, sadly that person has passed. I believe this person also went through a brain aneurysm (I could be wrong as at the time I wasn’t nearby for the whole duration this person was diagnosed to the end) which likely escalated decline of brain function.
Perhaps there’s different types of Parkinson’s but based on my part of witnessing two people going through the two different diseases, Biden checks off more of what I witnessed with Dementia than what I’ve seen of Parkinsons. The best example I can give to Parkinson that I have engaged with is Michael J Fox, no rambling, muttering, sharp, engaged, nor confusion is involved, just has a problem not stiffing up every now and then when talking and a lot of shaking as well as have dizzy moments.
To me though one of the biggest differences between the two is confusion, it’s more prevalent with Dementia that I believe is the biggest security factor when it comes to anyone in a leadership position.
Such a valid and clearly articulated set of points. The antidote to gas lighting. Thank you, sir.
I completely agree. There should never even be a question about cognitive tests for PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES!
It’s absolutely insane we’re in a position where we’re even talking about that sort of thing. It’s ridiculous.
Great, relevant discussion. The other problem is if the cat's way(Biden's dementia), The mice (White House Staff) will play. Is POTUS making any decisions?
no
He never has been from his basement campaign days till now.
Seriously…two years ago JB gave a shoutout to a deceased congresswoman. Last week was no surprise. I’ve admittedly never been a fan but our country is not safe right now with him at the top.
Norwegian professor in geriatric medicine went on national television news and said Parkinson’s. Funny thing is that my mother in law who’s a retired nurse said the same thing two minutes before when she saw Biden on the news. So it’s very obvious for professionals who have experience in the field.
My mother went through this. Parkinson and dementia. She eventually quit talking and started having trouble swelling. We noticed it immediately when she got lost and confused.. Sad that people see it but still don't believe it. Jill should be ashame. Pray and have Compassion for this poor man that needs to retire and enjoy his ice cream. People that had family go through this KNOW
100% agree with Dr Prasad regarding the media’s role in covering the Biden Lie and Covid.
Great argument, well done.
Excellent perspective. The bottom line is that President Biden isn’t alert enough for the position.
Thank you Dr Vinay,you are a great American patriot as well as being a highly intelligent doctor ❤❤❤🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
