Some now asking whether it's possible that President Biden might have had cancer while in office. And if that were the case, many questioning how a White House physician would not have caught the symptoms in a prostate specific antigen test. His last physical, February 28th, 2024. with no mention of the PSA test or the results.
The announcement comes as a new book on how the White House hid Mr. Biden's mental acuity problems hits shelves this week. No sooner had Mr. Biden's office made the announcement than former Obama advisor David Axelrod said on CNN that conversations about Mr. Biden's mental state, quote, should be more muted and set aside for now as he's struggling through this.

Chapter 5: What did President Trump say about Biden's health?
To be clear, The Megyn Kelly Show and AM Update disagree. We wish Mr. Biden all the best with his recovery, and we also plan to dig deep into these issues, including what role not only the White House, but the press had in covering them up when the authors of the new book, Original Sin, appear on The Megyn Kelly Show this Tuesday.
On Saturday, Axios releasing the long-awaited audio recordings of special counsel Robert Herr's interview with President Biden. The tapes capturing President Biden's responses during Mr. Herr's investigation into his handling of classified documents. The probe centering on documents from Mr. Biden's time as vice president and as senator that were discovered at his home and former office.
The five-hour interview conducted on October 8th and 9th, 2023, became a key factor in her decision not to pursue criminal charges, citing concerns that a jury might perceive President Biden as, quote, a sympathetic, well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory. Throughout the interview, President Biden meandering, struggling to grasp words.
The president also frequently veering off-topic, sharing personal anecdotes seemingly unrelated to the prosecutor's questions. Mr. Biden asked if he ever brought classified material from the Naval Observatory or the West Wing, responding with a rambling 12-minute answer, including a story about a trip to Mongolia.
But when I found that word, I could pull it back. So I had pure luck. I hit the gun and hit target.
Special Counsel Herr's report also noting Mr. Biden's struggles in recalling important life events, including the date of his son Beau's death. Here is the audio from that portion of the interview.
I don't know. This is what, 2017, 18, that period? Yes, sir. Remember, in this time frame... My son has either been deployed or is dying.
Beau Biden passed away from brain cancer in May 2015. More from that moment.
2015.

Chapter 6: How have Biden's cognitive abilities been portrayed?
As the tapes show, Mr. Herr had not raised President Biden's son's death. It was Mr. Biden who did that. Back then, Dems still circling the wagons around Mr. Biden, some tearing into Mr. Herr, accusing him of partisan activism at a House Judiciary Committee hearing on his findings in March. One moment here from then-California Congressman Adam Schiff.
You don't gratuitously do things to prejudice the subject of an investigation when you're declining to prosecute. You don't gratuitously add language that you'll know will be useful in a political campaign. You were not born yesterday. You understood exactly what you were doing. It was a choice. You certainly didn't have to include that language.
You could have said vis-a-vis the documents that were found at the university. The president did not recall. There is nothing more common. You know this. I know this. There is nothing more common with a witness of any age when asked about events that are years old to say, I do not recall. Indeed, they're instructed by their attorney to do that if they have any question about it.
You understood that. You made a choice. That was a political choice. It was the wrong choice.
Despite public polling showing increasing public concern surrounding Mr. Biden's cognitive abilities, Democrats and media members insisting in the months leading up to and the months following this report that President Biden was at his very best. a portion of that defense, courtesy here of Grabian.

Chapter 7: What controversies surround the special counsel's report?
Start your tape right now because I'm about to tell you the truth. And F you if you can't handle the truth. This version of Biden is the best Biden ever.
He is sharp, intensely probing, and detail-oriented and focused. Ageism is an issue. Americans have a rich history of holding people's physical characteristics against them.
He's older. That doesn't mean that he is unfit. And there's a lot of ageism there.
The flip side of this coin is that he has a tremendous amount of wisdom and experience. Have you heard any concerns from anyone who has met with President Biden about him seeming a little slower? No.
More wild speculation from a bunch of people who have probably never been in a room with Joe Biden and certainly don't have medical degrees that I'm aware of.
The tapes obtained by Axios in conjunction with the new book co-authored by Axios reporter Alex Thompson and CNN Jake Tapper, those are the authors of that book, Original Sin. On Saturday evening, a sailing ship belonging to the Mexican Navy smashing into the Brooklyn Bridge in a deadly, horrifying accident.
The Cuauhtémoc, a tall ship, the kind you might think of as a classic sailing vessel on a global goodwill tour, carrying 277 people when it suffered a mechanical failure and reportedly began drifting backward. The ship's three towering masts striking the bridge one by one. Two crew members were killed, more than 20 others injured. The New York Times reporting 11 are in critical condition.
Despite the impact, the heavily trafficked Brooklyn Bridge did not sustain any substantial structural damage, which is a miracle if you look at this crash. New York City Mayor Eric Adams delivering remarks from the scene.
The police commissioner and her team immediately responded with FDNY Commissioner Tucker to have a coordinated effort and willing to thank the Coast Guard. and their effort as well. So the coordination was extremely important and it was executed to the best of our ability to minimize any loss of life.
