♪. mark: hello america i am mark levin and this is "life, liberty & levin" send it to great guest and i need gingrich and lee zeldin but will get to them in a moment i want to discuss a very serious issue with you in a very serious way. we see joe biden. we see how he walks. we see how he stares. we see how he gets angry and how he cringes. this issue of dementia is a serious issue. i should know. i've had two people in my family who have had alzheimer's and one had moderate dementia. it is not funny. it is very upsetting. it is depressing. to watch somebody deteriorate like this and in the early stages they know they are deteriorating. and then the family has to care for the person, once to care for the person. it is not funny. you have never heard me do jokes about joe biden and dementia. i will make jokes about him on other things. but not that. and stuart said about pornography once i know it when i see it. i know dementia when i see it. i think i spieth may be not for all but for many people, many families who have seen this. the telltale signs. it is not a mystery. everybody gets old and they have memory issues they'll forget a name here or they are, they will mix things up. that is to be expected. that is not what we are talking about here. this is why, i'm so disgusted that joe biden is running for president and his family wants him to run for president. pretending he's sharp as a tack the american media are playing along in fact playing defense. it's united states of america. we are talk about the president of the united states were talking one branch of government that controls whether we go to war or not and what type of weapons abuse among the thousand other things. you see men and the past healthy men in their 50s. you see you've seen what the presidency does to them. we are the greatest country on the face of the earth and we are facing china, russia, north korea, iran, who have issues going on that are ripping us apart. when she was going on on the street, the crime, the judge, the anti-semitism. it's not good enough for a president to do wellin a debate or do wellin a state of the union speech. see he was great for 90 minutes is great for an hour. many people who have dementia or alzheimer's or elite stages. they can do that sort of thing. that is you look at them and say actually, they are doing okay but they are not doing okay. the job of a president is 24/7. there is a reason joe biden's taken vacation 40% of his presidency. there is a reason why he won't have give and take press conferences on a regular basis. there is a reason why his staff walks around him when he goes to info from the helicopter. there is a reason why we are seeing on television what we are seeing and hearing what we are hearing out of the presidents of mouth because he is not well. again and i am not saying that as a joke. he is not well. people have heart disease, i do. people of diabetes people of all kinds of things and people have mental health issues. and it is not funny. but it is utterly unconscionable and irresponsible for the largest political party in this country to be nominating somebody for president who they nominated before when he was not well. vast majority no well what i am saying is the truth. the host in every news organization in america know that what i am saying is the truth. and the people who have met with that schumer, hakeem jeffries, nancy pelosi of what life or they know i'm telling the truth. we have a report from the special counsel robert her was investigating joe biden for crimes related to classified information for he fou. found he committed crimes and he did so under the espionage act. did not discuss presidential production he did so when he was a senator. when he was a citizen. and when he was vice president. he says i cannot charge him take the position you cannot charge a cynic president. plus he says he is not mentally fit. so what happened? special counsel came under a withering attack from the white house, for the democrat party, from the leadership of the democrat party but from their campaign operatives, from the media. but the man speaking the truth, he did not have an issue with biden as a president he had an issue when he interviewed him for five hours. we have an attorney general of the united states who will not release the audio. we the people have a right to hear the audio. especially now when we are making a decision about the presidency. but we see what we see and hear what we hear we want the audio. he comes up with some kind of cockamamie privilege he goes to the white house. only a president could assert privilege. biden asserts the privilege to protect his audio. this is a sham. they do not want transparency. the special counsel semester biden's in memory it was significantly limited both during the recorded interviews with the ghost writer in 2017 and his interview with our office in 2023. these are not national security secrets, the audio. the argument it can affect other investigations how preposterous bring to bear the release of grand jury testimony from bill clinton with the cigar? was that a national security secrets? they come up with these lies. they also consider a trial mr. biden will present himself to a jury as he did during our interview of him as a sympathetic a well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory. that is not good enough for president of the united states it. we had a report of the wall street journal. these two have come under withering attack. they are not trump supporters they are reporters. reporters tend to be biden report as they are liberals i am sure, i do not know. but they are under attack because they dare write an article behind closed doors biden shows signs of slipping. participant domains at the 81-year-old president perform poorly at times the white house said biden's sharpest critics are playing partisan politics. no, the democrats are going to run somebody for president how is this partisan politics? he's going to be the nominee. that's the problem present by the most congressional leaders in the west wing in january to negotiate the ukrainian funding deal he spoke so softly at times some participants struggle to hear him according to five people according to that meeting he made read from notes to make obvious points pause for extended periods of time sometimes closed his eyes for so long some in the room wondered whether he had tuned out. now it goes on and of course as the white house pushing back and calling people they interviewed to call the wall street journal back and tell them it wasn't as we thought. this is a scam. the democrat party's writing a man for president who should not be president. who should not be president. we havwith the 25th amendment te constitution section four of the constitution the vice president of the united states and the cabot to care more about the country than they do their own party in power. we do not have a vice president at a cabin who care more about the country than their own party and their own power. what is it say? whenever the vic vice president majority of either the principal officers executive department or of such other body of congress made by law provide transmit to the preside president pro tem oe senate, and the speaker of the house of representatives the written declaration the president is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office the vice president shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as acting president. it goes on to say the president can push back take the subject up. by super majority can make the decision on whether or not the president's fit or not. that's a serious constitutional amendment the 25th amendment. that cabinet would not dare do that. but they should but they won't. that is a dead letter which by the way as a footnote is a reason why congress needs audio. to make a determination whether he another amendment or fix this amendment was going on now is unacceptable for a great republic. unacceptable for a great republic in 100 years from now submit this republic still exists who are these citizens who voted like this? this corrupt media the corrupt democrat party. history is too late this season be dealt with now. what am i talking about it of course i will come under attack i don't care. the truth is the truth. there are seven stages of dementia. very well mind.com is just one of many, many sites that point this out. dementia progresses in stages ranging from mild to severe. isn't it amazing we've not had this discussion anytime in the last five years on any network? because they tried to intimidate us. this needs to be discussed. it needs to be analyzed. and he's to be vetted with the american people. we need to know as much as we can and i am not going to cover this up at seven stages of dementia. and so the first stage is no cognitive decline at this stage the person is able to function normally and does not exhibit any signs of memory loss, confusion, or cognitive impairment. the structure and functioning of the brain may have started to deteriorate as the nerve cells eat neurons in the brain start to lose connection with other brain cells and die okay people can function that way. stage two very mild cognitive decline the person's arts experience occasional lapses of memory such as forgetting where they keep familiar everyday objects. forgetting names that once knew very well put this stage the symptoms are unlikely would affect the person's work for social interactions. we know a lot of elderly people who have this problem. okay, fine most are present by the way. stage three mild cognitive decline. it gets more serious. this is a sage work cognitive impairment becomes more noticeable to the patient as well as a friends, families and colleagues. the person is hard to show symptoms such as getting lost while walking or driving particularly in unfamiliar places but reading something retaining very little of it. forgetting the names of people they have just met but losing items of importance or value. having trouble concentrating. performing complex tasks. increasing difficulty in social settings and so forth. stage four, moderate cognitive decline. the defendant did decline in cognitive ability in a clinical interview but lack of knowledge of current and recent events for difficulty remembered in parts of their own personal history paid we have that in the court trouble with organizing, planning, traveling and managing finances and it goes on. stage five, moderately severe cognitive decline from the stage onward the person can no long bill a function without some assistance. some of the symptoms difficulty recalling important detail such as their address, phone number or high school or the date of their son's death or when they were vice president i would add. disorientation in terms of place and time such as confusion regarding the season comment date, day of the week or time of the day. art mixing up names of people. turning in the wrong direction and staring into the sky. other public trouble with making decisions at this stage the person could likely still remember their own name and the names of their spouse and children but the the then they d for calling the name of the grandchildren, they may build to eat and use the bathrooms that assistance that may need help with tasks such as deciding what to wear and so forth. stage six severe cognitive decline in stage seven i don't think the president is at stage six or seven i think he's heading there and heading there very quickly. if i had to guess he's likely well into stage five. i do not know. but jill knows. his doctor knows. the experts out there know. and we the people need to learn more about the cognitive state of the president of the united states. we need to stop playing cat and mouse with us. this is about the country and the future of the country. here's to getting better with age. here's to beating these two every thursday. help fuel today with boost high protein, complete nutrition you need... ...without the stuff you don't. so, here's to now. boost. ♪ ♪. mark: welcome back america. rehearse speaker newt gingrich. newt gingrich, let me ask a different kind of question that is this. you are running the joe biden campaign, joe biden is running a harshly grievously negative campaign trashing his opponent. smearing his opponents, trashing tens of millions of people who support donald trump. is the reason he is running that kind of campaign is nothing positive to run on? you are running his campaign you are dealing with an individual who has issues obviously. his policies are problematic. is this all he has? you are running his campaign is there anything positive you can think of he would run on? >> a challenge she has got his most of the policies his left hates. people would not believe him. i keep telling everyone you go to the grocery store and that erases everything biden is trying to tell you. people are looking at failure on the border. they're looking at failure with fentanyl they're looking at failure with prices and going down the list if you got up tomorrow morning and said vote for me and everybody in america will have 5 gallons of ice cream a week for free they would not believe him, they would shrug it off. that's a huge problem for them but ththey cannot offer a better future so all that they have left is to try to destroy it donald trump as an alternative. >> of course they can rely on their media to carry whatever message they have. and joe biden more uniquely than most politicians, he lies and he lies all of the time any lies about everything you could not tell the truth fro from a lie wh this man. that's actually going to help them in the sense in this campaign, isn't it? >> is going to reduce his base of the people except he is a liar and they don't care. iyou are the teachers union or a hard left transgender movement or you are deeply committed fanatic you do not care about biden. you care about the issues that he takes care of for you prettye about the money that he sends your organization to the federal government. i think republicans have to recognize we are not running against joe biden we are running against an entire machine that machine is faced with armageddon because if donald trump wins he is going to break up the old order decisively like andrew jackson and the 1820s. this is an act of desperation on their part they do not care how bad biden is they begin to worry he may be unelectable and that is a different problem i do not think in terms of general performance that they care because the machine is doing fine. mark: let me ask you this question, newt gingrich we all seemesee biden's and in serious decline i do not say this as a joke i say this is a serious matter. foreign leaders see it. they see the staff is like the praetorian guard trying to protect him when he is walking and shuffling. they are trying to protect them from the press the process trying to protect them from us by the attorney general of the united states was unconstitutionally withholding from congress audio of a biden's interview a special counsel which must be a complete and utter disaster. do you think there's enough americans in this country who are going to accept this and sam going to vote for him anyway? >> is very possible they won't. i think 66% of the country now believe biden cannot finish a second term. now you have to decide about voting for harris who is weaker than biden in terms of her appeal. at the picture of the other day in italy biden wandered off. something caught his attention he is standing over there finally the prime minister of italy goes over intakes and by the arm sort of like grandfather at the family picnic and walks him back to be part of the group. if you are potent or xi jinping or the ayatollah and you are looking at this you think these guys are frightened of him? so the russian senate nuclear submarine and six warships to havana thumbing their nose at the united states because they think our commander-in-chief he is confused achieve. mark: let's talk about the democratic party they're about to nominate this man, let's assume they would do, i assume they will. what kind of a political party nominate somebody that the leadership notes the staff around biden knows his own family knows should not be president of the unites a snow corporation would hire him to be an executive. no company would hire him to be a manager. he is just not capable of doing these things at the most powerful office of the face of the earth all these pressures and all these issues. what kind of a political party is willing to put all of that on the line regardless of the potential consequences of nominate a man like this? >> if you look at the polling data is hard it is is to be may be the most electable democrats. there are no polls that indicate one of the governments runs a better than biden. the democratic party it is so unusual a very powerful coalition of very strong ideologies. people who want government money those to come together in their view is joe biden will take care of their issues and joe biden will give them the chance so they have the cash they do not care that is totally out of it. now for the country in the world to have an american commander-in-chief so clearly in cognitive decline i think is very dangerous there's other factors. i just don't know. it strikes me he's getting worse pretty rapidly. they could to appoint the summer where they have to replace him is going to become so obvious he cannot function. i think if that happens then you're going to have a very interesting struggle in the democratic party over who replaces him. i think there will be chaos at that point. mark: newt gingrich i want to pursue that with you i think that is very, very interesting and it is on the table as a possib let's get the rest of these plants in. organic soil from miracle-gro has grown me the best garden i have ever had. good soil, and you get good results. this soil will blow you away. it's the martha stewart of soil. this year. i am jon scott now back to "life, liberty & levin." ♪. mark: welcome back america. speaker newt gingrich, that's going to be a convention if at the very end of the trying to figure out how to shuffle candidates because these delegates are committed to bid biden. you have a very weird selection process and the democrat party with all of the big wigs all having a say in the process even more than the republican party. i don't remember what they call them, special delegates or something like that. you think that could happen to be a mess but it is possible. i cannot believe they're going to try to pull that off unless he has eight horrendous debate performance once or twice and it become so obvious they are going to lose. it won't be easy though. i do believe there from challenges. they start to conclude he will lose it. the fear of the trump is so enormous they would do almost anything to try and stop trump. the second is if is the client and let's be clear we have seen him perform reasonably well at times he could get through a debate with enough drugs he can have enough energy to get through a debate. the big moments it looks like he is okay. that is not going to happen. the problem will be if in fact we are correct and he is declining every week than theire does get to be a point we cannot have a commander-in-chief who is literally incapable. that is the point of which there would have to be some kind of decision. it would all have to be driven by people like obama and pelosi and others. could not be a grassroots effort. it would have to be a clearly organized power structure stepping in and convincing doctor jill they have no choice. >> the very end you raise a very interesting point doctor jill they see what's going on it's hard to believe when you love somebody, it is a family mem
