Trump Diagnosed | Leavitt JUST Revealed Details
FULL TRANSCRIPT
A ton of news out of the White House
press a press briefing that just
occurred. Uh this is a little bit of a
shocker because we got some health news
from Donald Trump and a little bit more
on Jeffrey Epstein. Let's hit the
Jeffrey Epstein stuff because it's going
to be about 15 seconds and then we'll
get the health news on Trump which is
going to take a whole lot longer to
cover. So, uh, regarding
a appointing a special counsel in the
Epstein case to review the files, like
some kind of neutral special counsel,
Donald Trump has denied appointing a
special counsel to review the Epstein
files. They say they will only release
credit credible information and that's
it. They're leaving it at that. Case
closed. They're basically not going to
release anything else. Uh they uh were
then asked, "Hey, were you guys reaching
out to MAGA influencers about Epstein,
asking people to tone it down?" And
they're like, "We reach out to our
partners all the time." I'm like, "All
right." I mean, that's a tacid
endorsement that Yes. You're like, "Yo,
Ben Shapiro, we need some help here,
okay? Don't don't do this to us,
brother."
Uh anyway, we need to talk about the
Donald Trump health issue because it's
actually
maybe not great. Uh, I mean, it could
also just be an old age thing. Maybe
Donnie T needs a little bit of ozimpic
to get some of that blood flowing again,
but it could be a sign of a larger
problem. And it's worth talking about
this so you can get caught up on what
these details are. So, Donald Trump was
diagnosed with chronic venus
insufficiency.
Now technically this alone does not
indicate that you have deep vein
trombosis or any kind of arterial
disease but it could have been caused by
prior occurrences of deep vein
trombosis. They say that presently
Donald Trump does not have deep vein
trombosis but DVT which is what we'll
use for now can lead to CVI which is
what they are saying Donald Trump has.
So they're saying he doesn't have the
bad, he's just got like the more normal
stuff. Now CVI is pretty common. There
are six different stages. One is no
evidence, but you're starting to feel a
little weakness and maybe your
extremities. The reason this happens is
because there are valves in your veins
and when blood gets pushed to your
extremities, especially your legs where
Donald Trump was indicating some
swelling or at the end of his hands
where at the end of his hands you were
seeing not only some signs of swelling
but potentially discoloration. One of
the reasons this can happen is because
as the blood goes to the extremities,
it's supposed to flow from your arteries
which are bringing blood to the area and
then once that's that is used up, we're
bringing that blood back through the
veins. Some of these valves may not
function as well anymore when you are a
overweight or b old and obviously worse
if both are true. Uh this affects about
40% of people you see here, especially
those over 50. It's actually more common
in women by a ratio of 2:1. Now, Donald
Trump isn't exactly the thinnest uh for
his age. So, it's worth remembering that
uh as you are overweight and you're over
50, this is an issue that can occur.
Now, a lot of obviously I expect the
MAGA influencers are going to go, "Oh my
gosh, this is a total nothing burger.
Everybody's talking about this and it's
nothing." And then all the left-wing
influencers are going to be like, "He's
dying." And then you're going to get
people like me who are just going to
give you the arguments on both sides.
So, Donald Trump, remember, he is 79
years old. He just turned 79 uh last
month. So, not uncommon, but you really
want to pay attention to this. One of
the ways you could reduce some of the
problem here in addition to like
compression fittings or like lifting
your legs at the end of the day when
you're done working or resting or
whatever is frankly by losing weight.
So, is it possible that it could be a
good idea for Donnie T to maybe uh take
some weight loss drugs and reduce
weight? Obviously, it's a question for
him and his doctor, but could it reduce
some of this blood flow uh problem
that's occurring? Absolutely. And so can
exercise. Losing weight and exercise can
help prevent or mitigate this. Once you
have D CVI, though, it's not good and it
can lead to serious complications. You
cannot cure CVI. It is an incurable. It
is a manageable issue. The bigger
question is what is causing the CVI. Now
the White House is telling us that there
is no sign of DVT. Again, that's deep
vein trombosis. They say that they've
not only done an EKG, echo cardiogram,
that they've done by lateral lower
extremity venus doppler ultrasounds.
This is basically in English, yo, we
took an ultrasound to your legs. And
we're like, yo, what's causing the
swelling, dog? and we're like, "Oh, we
don't see any blood clots, so you must
be good." We also did blood tests which
indicate no cardior strain markers,
which means you don't have any DVT or
deep vein trombosis at the time.
However, DVT can come and go. So, if you
have DVT and you get tested, great. You
could see it. If it clears on its own,
great. And then you get tested, oh,
you've got no DVT. But then all of a
sudden you know in the future if you
don't start working on maybe exercise or
your health you could end up with DVT
which again leads to CVI which is what
we are seeing them admit to him having.
The problem with DVT is if the blood
clots from DVT dislodge they can go to
your brain or your lungs and then you
die with a pulmonary embolism. Now it's
worth knowing that PE or pulmonary
embolisms they're actually really
common. You know how many people die in
car accidents? Like 40,000 40 to 40 40
to 40,000 a year in the United States
from pulmonary embisms. You have about a
100,000 people that die per year from
pulmonary embisms. So these are a big
deal. Like this just happens with old
age. The blood clots happen, they break
loose, and you die. Uh and this happens
more in people who are overweight,
older, and not necessarily super
physically fit. We kind of know that
Donald Trump isn't incredibly fit. And
frankly, the fact that he doesn't have
larger health problems is a blessing for
him with this, you know, weight and age.
That said, if it is true that all he has
is CVI, we've got a few stages. Stage
zero, no signs. Stage one, spider veins.
Stage two, varicose veins. Stage three,
uh, swelling. Stage four, changes to
skin color or texture. Uh, which is
exactly what we're seeing, changes to
skin color or texture. Uh, that's stage
four CVI. Stage five would be an ulcer
that is cleared. Stage six would be an
active ulcer. The problem with CVI is
this doesn't come from handshaking.
Okay? Uh, you know, Carolyn Levit, she's
like, oh, you know, he shakes so many
hands. It's kind of like they're trying
to imply, oh, he's the dealmaker. He's
always shaking hands everywhere. Man,
this is just the classic kind of White
House propaganda that you get. Oh,
dealmaker and chief. He's shaking so
many hands. his hands are discoloring.
It doesn't work that way. Okay?
Medically, you don't get CVI from
shaking people's hands. It doesn't
happen. Now, what matters here most is
you got to monitor the CVI because it
could lead to ulcers, uh infections
under the skin, cellulitis, uh and it
could lead to sepsis. All those things
are very very bad. But this is all
manageable and monitorable. You can
handle this. Again, best case scenario,
you lose weight, you exercise again.
He's obviously got a busy schedule. He
sits around a lot. Uh whether it's
office, phone calls, planes. I'll tell
you, planes suck. I'm a jet pilot,
multi-engine rated jet pilot, certified
to be the pilot in command of a
multi-engine jet as a single pilot for
single pilot operations. And I'll tell
you, one of the things that sucks about
aircraft flying, studying, and training
or just being a passenger is you're
sitting a lot, whether on the
helicopters or on the planes. It this
doesn't help Donald Trump. He's now
going to Scotland. None of this stuff
helps his situation here. You got to get
that exercise going. In golf, as we
know, when you're golf carting around,
it's a limited form of exercise. I don't
actually think he's really getting any
kind of exercise. So, keep this in mind.
You've got a few announcements here. The
Epstein thing, not a surprise they're
denying it. The health thing, big
surprise. Uh, you know, Carolyn yapping
about how Trump is bringing core
inflation prices down. She's completely
ignoring that. the fact that core
inflation is coming down because service
prices are plummeting, especially
airfares. But what's happening is core
good prices which are affected by uh
tariffs are skyrocketing. On an
annualized basis, we're up 6.6% on core
goods like appliances or sporting goods
or toys in part because we're starting
to see some of those tariff in uh
impacts start showing up. So the sort of
propaganda that oh tariffs don't cause
inflation is insane. Yes, inflation is
slowing, but it'd be slowing a lot more
if it weren't for these tariffs, and
then we'd be lowering rates, which is
ironic because that's what Trump wants.
Uh, that says when said, when it comes
to this health issue, does this mean
Donald Trump's going to drop dead
tomorrow? No. This is not a very
near-term risk. You just have to make
sure that this isn't being caused by
potentially an undiagnosed DVT. Again,
that deep vein trombosis that could lead
to blood clotting and then PE or
basically death. uh survivability rate
of an embolism,
it's bad. Uh but you know, if we do have
some other underlying conditions that
are causing the CVI, that's really what
you want to pay attention to. Again, I
think it comes down to just weight and
age. But that's my POV. Uh otherwise,
this this gives you sort of a full
breakdown of what we just heard at the
presser. It is surprising. And if it
makes you nervous just about the
fragility of life, remember you can
always go to metaven.com/life
to get life insurance in as little as
five minutes. Same life insurance Lauren
and I use. Uh it's cheaper to get the
younger you are when you get it. Uh so
sign up for it. It's term life. It's
really easy. Like if you don't have any
policy, like you could always, you know,
cancel and go for something else in the
future. But check it out. See how much
it's going to cost you. You know, some
people sign up, they're like, "Kevin, it
only cost me 20 bucks a month." Some
people are like, "It's 15 bucks a
month." Some people are like, "Well, the
policy I want is 50 bucks a month, but
I'm going to do it because if I go oopsy
dupsies, uh, you know, I want to leave
my family with with something uh, you
know, so it makes the process of
transitioning a little bit easier." Uh,
anyway, none of it is fun to talk about,
but go check it out. Meke
Kevin.com/life.
Met Kevin cuz he got to know me. And,
um, you could get that and sign up in as
little as 5 minutes. They're a paid
sponsor of the channel. All right.
>> Why not advertise these things that you
told us here? I feel like nobody else
knows about this.
>> We'll we'll try a little advertising and
see how it goes.
>> Congratulations, man. You have done so
much. People love you. People look up to
