Doocy: “And are you guys just not — since February, testing President Biden for Parkinson's or for dementia because, if he gets a bad result, it's all over that day?”
KJP: “Again, as I've said many times before, The President had a fulsome, comprehensive — uh — what we said — what we shared with you was comprehensive but he's had a full — uh — physical. We've — we've shown the results of those this past three years.We showed it just four months ago, and it is in line with what we have done, similar to President Obama, similar to George W. Bush. We are committed to continue to be transparent. We are committed to continue to show the results of those — of those physicals and look, it's the President's medical team that makes a decision. We are not — with all due respect, you're not a doctor. I'm not a doctor. It is the President's medical unit that makes a decision on what the President needs.”
Doocy: “Not doctor —”
KJP: “Yeah.”
Doocy: “— just play one on TV. But I know that —”
KJP: “That’s scary.”
Doocy: “— that is scary, but I know that especially as adults get into their 80s, health conditions can pop up more than just once a year when he's getting his physical. I think if my wife saw me on TV misspeaking or saying the wrong thing or —”
KJP: “Yeah.”
Doocy: “— seeing a change in my appearance, she would probably say, let's go to a doctor just to make sure that you are okay. You have a family. You have an important job. Why doesn't anybody in the President's family urge him just to go to get checked out to say the coast is clear?”
KJP: “Okay. So, just to step back just a little bit, because I think you weren’t in the briefing room last week. I don't want to go backwards, but just to share a little bit about that night. The president said it was a bad night. He talked about it. He had a cold, right? He talked about his schedule — right — of being abroad. And so, we’ve spoke [sic] what that night was like for him. And we understand what the American people saw, what you all saw, we've spoken to that. And I also would say and I think you know this, Peter, if — you’ve — you've covered a couple administration at this point — administrations at this point, that the President, every president has a White House medical that is with him 24/7 — that is available to him 24/7 — that is unlike any other American, right? That is not the norm. That is uncommon. Just down on the other side of the colonnade is where the medical unit and I did share — and — that the President checks in while he's exercising with his doctor on — a couple of times a week. And so, he has that — he has something that most majority of Americans — all Americans — I would probably argue — don't have, which is a full medical unit that is with him at all times and he gets a full, full, full physical, annual physical we share with all of you and that is very different — a very different than an everyday American who, sometimes, they're lucky if they can go get a physical. They have to get into a car. They have to take public transportation. The President has, again, a medical unit that's with here at the White House and travels with him.”
