00:00I just wanted to ask,
00:02how is the President's health today?
00:04Does he still have his cold, or is he feeling better?
00:06And then, to clarify, on the medical exam,
00:09because you said he hasn't had one since his last physical,
00:12he was on the way to the debate, the doctor was with him,
00:15he had a cold, he's 81,
00:17does he not get checked out by the doctor?
00:18I'm just wondering how that works.
00:20He did not get checked out by the doctor.
00:23It's a cold, guys, it's a cold.
00:24And I know that it affects everybody differently.
00:28We have all had colds.
00:30And so, no, he was not checked by the doctor.
00:32What was your other question?
00:33How is his health today? Does he still have the cold?
00:35Well, I saw him today. My team and I saw him today.
00:37He looked great.
00:38And he was with the Vice President.
00:39They both look great.
00:41I know I was asked yesterday if he still had a cold.
00:44I think he still has a lingering cold.
00:47But he is ready to go. He's ready to go.
00:50I kind of have to wrap it up, but go ahead.
00:53Sources have told ABC that the President recognizes
00:56how difficult his political predicament is.
00:58So, how has his mood been as of late?
01:01Has he been down? Is he frustrated?
01:03I just saw — I just — I mentioned,
01:04I think, multiple times at this point that I got to see him.
01:08My team and I got to see him and the Vice President.
01:11He's great. He's, like, in a great mood,
01:14ready to get things going.
01:15He's going to do the Medal of Honor later today.
01:18He's going to meet with Democratic governors.
01:20And that's kind of what you want to see, right, from your leader.
01:23Has he had any frustrations with you at all?
01:25What I can say — what I can say is that he wants to move forward.
01:28That's what he wants to do. He wants to move forward.
01:30Acknowledge, right? Acknowledge what happened.
01:34Be very clear-eyed about it and very forthcoming
01:38and honest about what he's — what you all saw.
01:41But he also knows that he's the President of the United States.
01:43He has to continue to work and deliver
01:46on behalf of the American people.
01:47That's what he has to continue to do.
01:49And that's what he's — that's how he's going to move forward.
01:53All right, everybody. Thanks, everyone.
