Hey ladies and gentlemen this is Carmine Sabia for Explain America and we just got the medical
0:05
report from Mitch McConnell and it's well it's really interesting and quite frightening

0:22
So Mitch McConnell the Senate Minority Leader for the Republicans and the Senator out of
0:26
Kentucky has been evaluated by doctors, Congressional doctors and they have ruled that they don't
0:33
believe the freezing episodes have anything to do with Parkinson's or a seizure
0:38
They haven't seen any evidence of that so those are good or a stroke
0:42
So those are good things. The question is though what is the reason
0:47
And there is a theory, there is a theory prevalent right now I've heard it from some doctors
0:52
and it's equally disturbing but not as serious. Still it's going to be hard to be a leader if this is what's happening to you
1:04
Let's take a look at the report. Alright this just in to CNN we have an update on Mitch McConnell's health coming in
1:09
The Senate Republican Leader's office has just released some new details. Alright I want to bring in seeing as Manu Raju and Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta
1:18
Manu you got your hands on this release. What does it say? Yeah that's right giving more details after the second health scare involving Senate Republican
1:27
Leader Mitch McConnell who as we remember froze last week in front of cameras for roughly
1:31
30 seconds. That also occurred back in July and this also in the aftermath of him hitting his head
1:36
suffering a concussion back in March. This providing more information in the aftermath of that second health scare
1:42
So this is a letter that was released by McConnell's office from Brian Monaghan who is a Capitol
1:47
Hill attending physician. It's a brief letter so I will read it to you in full
1:50
It says my examination of you following your August 30th, 2023 brief episode included several
1:56
medical evaluations. It says brain MRI imaging EEG study and consultations with several neurologists for a comprehensive
2:04
neurology assessment. And it goes on to say there is no evidence that you have a seizure disorder or that you
2:10
experience a stroke, TIA or movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease. There are no changes recommended in treatment protocols as you continue recovery from your
2:21
March 2023 fall. Now it could be a concussion. It could be the remnants I should say of a concussion he had when he suffered a fall
2:29
some months ago. That can be really serious and it can definitely do serious damage to the brain
2:36
These freezing episodes no matter what they are are very frightening. You know and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy
2:42
I hate to see it. Whatever you think of Mitch McConnell's politics and I will tell you as a conservative he's
2:47
been a warrior. He will go down in history as one of the best
2:52
Like him or not. I know a lot of people don't like him because him and Trump you know they don't get along
2:57
But he did a lot for the conservative movement in this country
3:01
He did a lot for conservatism and he should be recognized for that
3:06
So but I think there comes a time in every career where you have to step aside. Now I'm not saying leave the Senate because Democrat Governor Andy Beshear of Kentucky
3:15
would appoint a Democrat in his place. We don't want that. He could just sit there like Dianne Feinstein
3:21
But I think it's time to pass the leadership along. If he did that who would you guys want to see as the Senate minority leader
3:28
Let me know in the comments. Also please remember to like share and subscribe. It really helps us out
