hello this is Dr Grande today's question
is can I analyze Joe Biden's July 2024
interview with George Stephanopoulos
just a reminder I'm not diagnosing
anybody in this video only speculating
about what could be happening in a
situation like this if you enjoyed this
video please like it subscribe to my
channel and consider supporting me on
patreon I'll put the link to patreon in
the description for this video first
I'll look at the background of this case
move to a summary of the interview then
offer my analysis during the afternoon
of Friday July 5 2024 ABC News recorded
a 22-minute interview with Joe Biden the
interview was aired at 800 p.m. that
same day without being edited it
featured George Stephanopoulos asking
Joe Biden a series of questions about
topics like the presidential debate on
June 27 2024 and Joe's cognitive
limitations here is a summary of the
interview George's first question was
about the debate he asked Joe Biden if
the poor performance was just an episode
or a sign of a more serious condition
Joe responded that it was a bad episode
he was exhausted and did not listen to
his instincts as far as preparing George
pointed out that Joe had six days in
Camp David to rest before the debate why
wasn't this enough time to recover Joe
claimed that he was sick and feeling
terrible Physicians who examined him
determined he had a really bad cold
George asked Joe if he watched the
debate he replied I don't think I did no
when asked if he knew how badly the
debate was going Joe offered a rambling
response about polling numbers and
claimed that Donald Trump lied 28 times
before taking responsibility for the
poor performance he indicated that he
just had a bad night but then blamed his
opponent saying that Donald was shouting
even after the microphone was turned off
this distracted Joe and made him realize
he was not in control George then quoted
an article in the New York Times which
talked about how people who had spent
time with Joe Biden over the last few
months said his lapses have become
increasingly frequent pronounced and
worrisome he asked Joe if he was the
same man today that he was when he took
office three and a half years ago sidest
stepping the question completely Joe
offered yet another rambling response
talking about how he expanded NATO grew
the economy and took on big Pharma
George then focused the interview back
on the troubling lapses that Joe has
been experiencing Joe claimed that his
physician said he was exhausted at this
point George asked a critical question
have you had a full neurological and
cognitive evaluation Joe claimed that he
was given a full neurological test every
day when George pressed specifically
about cognitive testing Joe replied no
no one said I had to no one said they
said I'm good George asked if Joe would
be willing to undergo cognitive testing
Joe indicated that he had a cognitive
test every single day he was running the
world stating that he understood that
George rewarded the same question Joe
replied well I've already done it the
next question George had was can you
serve effectively for the next four
years Joe Biden once again offered a
rambling response talking about how he
accomplished various goals like
inventing the computer chip George
rewarded the same question Joe said I
believe so and then talked about the
importance of a president's character
George asked if Joe was being honest
with himself regarding his ability to
defeat Donald Trump Joe was behind the
polls before the debate now he's even
further behind Joe replied you guys keep
saying that he then talked about how he
was going to win despite the polling
data Joe claimed the polls actually
indicated the race was a tossup he
simply did not believe he was behind
George pointed out that people have
accused Donald Trump of only being out
for himself how is Joe Biden different
Joe indicated the critics were wrong and
then talked for a while about how bad
Donald Trump was when Joe was asked if
he convinced himself he was the only
person who could defeat Donald Trump Joe
claimed he was the most qualified he
will only drop out of the race if the
Lord Almighty comes down and tells him
George mentioned how many key Democrats
have been having discussions about Joe
dropping out of the race would Joe give
up if they approached him and said they
were concerned about a defeat Joe said
I'm not going to answer the question
it's not going to happen toward the end
of the interview Joe talked about how he
draws big crowds and his campaign has
received millions of dollars in
contributions he doesn't believe his
approval rating is actually 6% and he is
the only person who can hold NATO
together now moving to my analysis here
are my thoughts on a few areas that
stood out to me in this case item number
one when Joe was asked if he watched the
presidential debate he responded I don't
think I did no this answer is peculiar
considering how the debate took place
just over a week before the interview
did he watch it or not this is not a
hard question sometimes when people are
lying they offer responses that leave
them the flexibility to maneuver on a
later occasion they are concerned about
getting caught in a lie and want to keep
an Escape Route open another possibility
here is that Joe really doesn't remember
either way it doesn't look good for him
item number two one of the most
worrisome points in the interview is how
Joe Biden addressed the cognitive
testing issue it's clear that he needs
to take one of these tests not only is
Joe's Behavior consistent with poor
memory functioning he appears to be
getting worse any reasonable person in
his position would be concerned and want
to take the test most cognitive tests
don't even take 15 minutes to complete
and they're painless they simply involve
a series of questions initially Joe
sidestepped the question about cognitive
testing and went on a tangent when
pressed he admitted that he didn't take
a cognitive test but claimed the test
wasn't indicated and clinicians told him
he was good he concluded his frustrating
series of Answers by implying that his
work performance was the same thing as
taking a cognitive test in a way he's
right the problem is he's failing the
test every day if the debate was a test
did Joe Pass there are a few reasons
that Joe may not want to take a
cognitive test perhaps he believes that
his functioning is fine or he doesn't
want to take the test because he knows
exactly what the result will be item
number three during the interview Joe
tried to focus attention on Donald Trump
suggesting he was a pathological liar
and talking about restoring decency to
the office the strategy here was to move
the discussion away from Joe's
pronounced cognitive limitations like
Joe may not understand what he's doing
but at least he's not deceptive like
Donald Trump Joe Biden has Integrity
this tactic is problematic because Joe
is not demonstrating Integrity by
denying his obvious and alarming
limitations furthermore during the
debate Joe lied as well several times in
a curious Way Joe is becoming more like
Donald Trump except with the added
problem of the cognitive limitations
this brings me to item number four Joe
Biden appears to be adopting tactics
used by Donald Trump for example without
using the term fake news he suggested
that's what the polling data represented
he repeatedly denied the reality of the
results
Joe referred to drawing big crowds when
he gives a speech referenced huge
campaign money and sidestep questions
it's clear that Joe is frustrated with
the media and blame the press for
exposing his cognitive limitations the
mainstream media leans to the left and
Joe Biden has enjoyed this Advantage for
a long time now in order to make sure
Donald Trump is defeated the media has
turned against Joe Biden for the first
time Joe is learning what it feels like
to be in Donald Trump's situation as far
as the media Joe must now run his
campaign without their assistance and
he's not happy about it if Joe wants to
be like Donald then he needs to capture
the entire experience which includes
fighting a hostile media item number
five Joe indicated that he would not
drop out unless he was commanded to do
so by God is this something that happens
often for presidential candidates
messages directly from God by putting
this condition in place Joe is being
defiant and proclaiming
he will never drop out this is an
extreme tactic to adopt and leads me to
believe that Joe feels cornered and
pressured he understands the walls are
closing in and he is lashing out in
response his desperation is clear it has
been reported in the media that a tight
Inner Circle of supporters including
Jill Biden and Hunter Biden have been
encouraging Joe to stay in the race is
Hunter a good choice as an adviser under
the circumstances asking Hunter Biden
for career advice is like letting Harvey
Weinstein run an HR department or
trusting OJ Simpson to manage your
divorce perhaps Joe Biden needs to talk
to a wider circle of people moving to
item number six what do I think happen
in this case this is just a theory my
opinion it is not unusual for people to
experience cognitive limitations as they
grow older here are some of the common
symptoms trouble following or
participating in a conversation using
vague or nonspecific language struggling
to find the right words or calling
things by the wrong name difficulty
remembering recent events or
conversations losing track of thoughts
in mids sentence departing on tangents
having pressured speech irritability and
anxiety having an increased level of
distrust or even becoming paranoid and
exercising poor judgment based on the
available information Joe Biden appears
to be experiencing difficulty with cogn
during the ABC news interview Joe
performed better as far as putting
together sentences and being coherent
but his defensiveness Defiance and
denial placed him in an untenable
position Joe has just enough cognitive
functioning to blame others but not
enough to be competent there is no way
to know if Joe is simply experiencing
denial or if he is delusional one could
argue that a delusion looks a lot like a
prolonged and pathological version of
deny
perhaps the difference could be
considered academic in this case because
the effect is identical in a strange
twist Joe Biden has become like a lower
functioning version of his opponent and
his cognitive limitations have now
become Donald Trump's greatest Ally
those are my thoughts on the interview
with Joe Biden please put any opinions
and thoughts in the comment section they
consistently generate an interesting
dialogue as always I hope you found my
analysis of this topic to be informed
thanks for watching
