when you get to that, when you are 30 and 40 years old including people like neurologist and there are medical conditions. we have to remember even if he is lucid, he is seeing doctors so we have to acknowledge the fact that a neurologist is probably part of what the president would get as part of a medical exam or something we don't have access the president better medical care than just about anybody else in the world. >> this is darrell in iowa.

the nursing facility most patients have dementia. president biden's behavior in any way what i see on a daily basis. >> about the transparency level, how do you gauge that? >> we only need so much information and it's up to the people to do their own research if you think about. i want medical information spread all over the place and i only need to know so much. he's doing the job is enough that. the tv while i read the newspapers. i think about federal what more human want out of any president is completely invested what he's doing. >> no in alabama the no-fly.

issues later on as part of the nato coverage. solo's conference and you can follow on c-span.org. as article 20205 various presidents and medical issues they dealt with. perhaps the most famous presidential speaker that most of his adult life polio lying on mobility and contracted the illness of young children. it's not clear what he caught went anywhere and the effects became apparent 21 visiting of families cottage in canada and developed lower back pain and extreme skin sensitivity and it highlights john f. kennedy saying most of us think of jfk

and the reality it appears. the president with a variety of issues and by the time he took office and there's hardly a day that went by terribly presidential historian and author of unfinished life john f. kennedy 63 and grove workers from 1955 to the end of his life among his lifelong ailments suffered from colitis, addison's disease, low blood sugar, fatigue and intestinal problems and cause them pain. if you want more in the past president ... from the website you can find it here from john on the north fork one of the transparency about the president's health. >> i'm not sure, for three years

we were told everything was running smoothly and biden is as attack. you have two different tales in the media. now say right-wing media and they were telling us biden was capable suffering from mental conditions and the left-wing media telling us sharp as a tack and there's never a better president so for three and a half years been getting the stories and then this debate out of and we get to see president biden with his own eyes these are the results so i'm not sure a lot of things but i'm certainly not sure why we get two different stories from the media. the gatekeepers and ask the questions to keep people in power.

the elderly care unit and has been telling me for years biden has cognitive deficiencies. they saw gaps the white house : >> they said that the doctor, the neurologist in the white house visits and the reason is because he examines other

people, staff members and military people and not only the president and the other thing, i worked in 14 nursing homes 12 or 14 years in the veterans home pennsylvania annexing all kinds of symptoms and dementia. joe biden doesn't have dementia. most people listen to, the speech trump gave about the shark and motorboat, i think you ought to play that sometime and see how incoherent about that not even knowing the story he was talking about. after four years of trump, how can anyone justify criticized

biden on his mental acuity? >> in pennsylvania, abc highlighting your brought up saying the pandemic. regularly visits the white house as part of the general practice. >> not about age, it's about dementia.

biden has come out and looks just like it. the minister, prime minister has been after him and get him back. >> the events clarified for the story. when it comes to the transparency, what you think of the white house effort ask. >> what you think they are hiding things? now they tried to push them out all you have to do is look in his eyes and he's going to get worse. it's not going to get any better.

>> hi there. >> good morning. >> i don't know and i don't really care and a lot of information we get in the fact that half of the country for convicted felon over biden for 45 years and he has a stroke and passes out in the taxes.

and i don't care. biden is the better choice. the american public those trump in, they are going to get what they deserve and i'm going to kick back and wait for years and maybe be in iowa somewhere but i'm not going to cry if we lose but biden is moving forward and everybody needs to rally around him. >> in north carolina if you say the white house has been transparent in these issues when it comes to the president.

the morning show program and during the exchange with the host. >> in terms of my neurological capacity, have a neurological physical as well, i release all my records. all of them in a neurological test every single day. both of you know it, they know it. i am making those decisions. >> is anybody in my family like why joe had a night like that, i'd probably want to do some sort of work and make sure he's okay. have you been tested for age-related illnesses?

that might explain a night like that you couldn't sentences let's. [laughter] when i came back, they text me before that there was covid, maybe something wrong, and infection or something look around here something wrong that night, it's not that it's one night that goes away, i am testing myself going out and making the case. >> that was msnbc. stephen from washington state on the gas line. hi there. >> good morning. i think the transparency from

the white house, it's spot on and spoken about the story of his political career, he's so cute on details of conversations different people on different policies for families he's visited and he's going to visit these people and the experience with them.

these, his acuity are so back on. they may not be in favor of an politics and, whether they are educated or uneducated, they would never be able to speak in foreign policies, domestic policies and etc., thank you. >> hello. >> good morning. they have been hiding joe since the 2020 election.

it's been since then. the biden administration for a long time the doctor, long-standing doctor as soon as the biden administration came in, they fired him. he's been there for decades. the media got caught three adapters colluding with the white house and now it's coming to an end. treason has been committed by the last two democrat administrations. they are in big trouble. >> what you think the transparency issue exists when it comes to health? >> what you think it's not? >> it's coming to a head now. they been hiding it because of treason. so much treason they are going

to jail. they got to replace them. >> on the not sure client -- hi. >> good morning, it's jimmy here. >> i'm not sure about this because a level of transparency on the executive branch is taking a big hit over the years. being transparent however, i think we got it. ...

>> i have seen footage this past week about trump say he's a big fan of hannibal lecter from silence of the lambs. so i think that i'm not exactly sure he's being honest with us exact about mr. biden's middle state but both of these men are at the live their lives. i think we need to think about the fact that if not for this election but just looking forward our country is in a crisis state because we've allowed ourselves to be ruled by a gerontocracy. >> host: that is jim in philadelphia making, yesterday was a former president himself in a taped interview that aired fox news a bit of where mr. trump spoke about current president invited him being the nominee of the democratic party. here's a bit of that interview. >> what part of his cognitive

decline to think they missed, or did they purposely cover for them in your view? >> well, they cover for him and they still are sort of coming but as getting very difficult to do that. it looks to me like he may very well stay in. he's got an ego and he doesn't want to quit. he does want to do that. looks to be like that's what he wants. i think jill would like to see him stay. she's having a good time. i notice she really seems to be having a good time, and i'm hearing that hunter is calling the shots. so this isn't necessary a very positive thing for our country. but i think he might very well stay in and if he does, nobody wants to give that up that way. he's going to feel badly about himself for a long time. it's hard to give it up that way, the way where they try to force them out. i mean you have to speak to his doctors but obviously he's been sheltered by the fake news media. that's why they call it the fake news, let's hear from bob in

oregon on our yes line. good morning. >> caller: great, i have to follow donald trump. anyway don't think they are telling anything other than disposed to tell the truth. joe had a bad night. he definitely didn't do great in the situation. it was tough. donald trump is constantly lie, not entering into question. that's what he does. he just tries to talk over him. i would, too, if you kept hearing all the things he was saying. >> host: a topic of transparency from the white house. we think about it? >> caller: as when talking about. as far as being transparent about his health, talking about itself and everything. you keep hearing constantly about things he doesn't help this and their consulate in his ear. he has to be stressed out about what he's hearing.

when you're trying to put your points across its it's kindd when he constantly says that is got all these things going on in his ear, is trying to see a great he's doing for her country and he keeps saying this. i would get a rattled. i understand he probably with his cold, he didn't do great, no doubt, and he's an honest gentleman. he's a very honest man and i still support joe. the only way i would have considered that he should step down or anything is a he was going to do it maybe michelle obama iver people say that, i would love michelle and maybe barack to come back. that would be the greatest thing. anybody else would be a huge risk for the country ever any democrats out there, if you was to change or somebody else going into that position, you know, if you do believe he's not doing as well. i think you physically fine. he's always had a stutter. he is 81, and trump's not any younger. talking a cognitive and all his people going on saying all the stuff, joe is got to make your

stuff. unlike these are trump haters, trumpeters that hate joe biden. he's a good, great guy. i would love have a good honest government that loves our country guy that constantly lies 24/7. anyways, pedro, i think you're doing a great job there and i think we should stick with -- >> host: bob, thank you. rachel in florida on our no line. >> caller: yes. i don't think they are being transparent. people are so accepting of this. i can't believe that we don't want the best, smartest person for a president. we are accepting somebody who is clearly demented. if there were so transparent why would they release the whole tape? why would they demand biden take a cognitive test, and why isn't he doing press conferences? >> host: i release from the white house doctor clarify things yesterday. why doesn't fall into the definition of transparency in your mind?

>> caller: did he say he took a call did a test? i didn't do that or i didn't see that. >> host: they didn't mention it specifically but they clarified things taken with the visit from the expert. so why does that fit into transparency? >> caller: because a lot about everything i suppose they are lying or hiding this. why don't the release the tape if he is so cognitively well? >> host: okay. >> caller: these people to believe everything the government hands to them is unbelievable. they might as well be -- it might as will be communists. >> host: john in chicago on are not sure line. >> caller: hello. >> host: you are on. >> caller: thanks. about the transparency issue, it's hard to know what to trust. on one hand we are hearing that they're saying he is very sharp, very cognitively with it. but then on the other hand, you are seeing with your own eyes

that there are clearly issues. during the debate, his performance was not a a someby was really sharp. you would like to be able to believe what they are saying, but it's the same when they say that the border is sealed, and then you are seeing on the news thousands of people coming over the border. so it's really hard to understand him who do you trust? where do you go for your information we're getting such a dichotomy? >> host: daniel up next in maryland on our yes line. hello. >> caller: good morning. so, yes, i think they're being as transparent as they should be. we don't need anyone in the world knowing every weakness, especially at a time when you have so many regional conflicts. you don't want to display weakness. but at theto same time people don't really understand how the government works. there's a ton of people around the president that make it work.

i really feel badly that we -- over the past 40 years since reagan era of the right-wing driving our conversations. they jessore anything against the wall, listen to what trumpist saying, listen to what your calls are saying, totally irrational. if he's a puppet then why would have a hard time removing an? none of this makes sense. it's really sad to hear all of this jibberre jabber, this election year nonsense. >> host: if there is a weakness concern then, why not expose it to the american people, considering it's the leader of the free world? >> caller: well, depends on what it is. if it's just natural aging, i just heard his phone call on "morning joe" here guys heard him and anything that i've heard him and of the places a key sounds fun. he's old there's no doubt about it but in a card system it's him or a guy who is trying to escape jail. so we're all going to pile on of

the old guy because he's not performing like he's 40ld years old, but he's clearly a better option and is really a nonissue because things are happening, policies are being executed. good things are happening for america. i mean i'm not even a joe biden fan but we are accepting the right links narrative yet again and we just are having silly conversations. >> host: helga in virginia on are no line. hello. >> caller: yes. i don't believe the white house is being transparent. matter of fact, i believe what we should do is request the same thing that we did for defense secretary lloyd austin, getting in front ofoy the podium and explain what's going on with his health. let's treat in the same way that we did lloyd austin. thank you. >> host: why do you think that will offer if that were the case? >> caller: i think it's fair. they scrutinize our defense secretary lloyd austin.

let's do the same thing for our president of the united states. >> host: what do you think it would offer that if that were the case? what do you think it would tell us? >> caller: it would put the american people at ease. we need to get straight from him. you know, let's get him in front of the podium, , right, insteadf his press secretary, and let's get him in front of a whole bunch of reporters in that room and let him explain what's going on, what happened. let's do the same thing that we did when he came down to our defense secretary lloyd austin. >> host: okay. our last call in georgia on our yes line. go ahead. >> caller:r: yes, good morning. thank you for taking my call. i just want to know why you keep bringing, , c-span keeps bring this topic of joe biden. two people had debates. one has a mental issue, and one

is old. why haven't you made donald trump as a topic, ask republicans if they wanted to step down. when he had called in the white house, the white house were transparent to the american people. to us. he didn't kill covid upon him. so can you leave joe biden alone? we're going to vote for joe biden.n. [inaudible] just know it, we care about grassroots. it's not all about you. we are going to vote for joe biden. becausen. he has been by our si, black, and were going to vote for him. >> host: okay. that finishes off this hour. >> c-span is your unfiltered view of government. we are funded by the television companies and more including mediacom. >> nearly 30 years ago mediacom

i was my countries. >> i don't believe that rolling back regulations on wall street will help the small businesswoman expand or the laid-off construction worker keep his home. we have been there. we tried that and we're not going back. we are moving forward, america. >> underbite administration our friends will see more loyalty, and mr. putin will see a little less flexibility and more backbone. >> he wants to make america great again. well, he could start by actually making things in america again. >> we will make america safe again. and we will make america great again. >> here and now i give you my word. if you entrust me with the presidency i will draw on the best of us, not the worst. >> this power in american spirit has prevailed over every challenge and lifted us to the summit of human endeavor.
