Mitch McConnell Literally Shows "Proof of Life" Photo

But there's also conspiracy theories floating about Mitch McConnell. Now this one is kind of interesting too. Mitch McConnell had a medical event at his house mid-month last month. The 9-1-1 dispatch is publicly available and it shows that the EMS workers saying reports of an individual who is unconscious were administering CPR. CPR. That's from the EMS workers. He goes into the hospital. It's very mysterious. They don't tell us exactly. We never get like the official update from his team like it was a heart attack or it wasn't a heart attack. The woman who broke it is an independent journalist. Then she reported last week as we said here, we repeated here attributing it to her that he was possibly in a coma or a vegetative state. That appears not to have been true because his team says he's coming back at some point soon. They posted this picture of former Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, now just Senator Mitch McConnell. He has said he's retiring before this. He's going to retire when his term ends. But in the meantime, he's still a serving US Senator. There he is with his wife Elaine Chao. There's a picture of the Washington Post Sunday edition yesterday to prove to the world that it's current. I mean, it's a true proof of life type photo, Mike and Lowell's. He looks a little propped up. His facial expression looks odd. He's not looking into cameras kind of looking up. It is a little off. And I respect and like Mitch McConnell. This is not I'm trying to be respectful of him. But this has a lot of tongues wagging about whether this is real, whether we can trust this photo. And now the team is saying it. They're not saying it was a heart attack. They're just saying it was something else like he passed out and he had some amorphous issue, but not a heart attack. Mitch McConnell's allegedly saying that himself. So why was he getting CPR? It's just there's a lot. And by the way, Senator Graham's team said he died after a brief illness on Sunday night, a brief illness. Why'd they say that? I thought that the autopsy says aortic dissection. That means your heart split and you dropped dead. That's not a short illness. Why wouldn't they have just said a cardiac event? I don't know what's going on, but this is exactly how conspiracy theories get started. Yes, in the case of Senator McConnell, this is some late stage Soviet Union stuff where you're propping up the leaders who seem to be croaking every six months. So literally, I don't know that I buy the excuses. I mean, right after he was brought to the hospital, you had all of these people in government and media and they all came out and they said almost the exact same thing. They said, oh, I've just spoken with Mitch McConnell for 20 minutes. We discussed Iran and the economy. We solved Fermat's last theorem. You know, we were discussing quantum entanglement. He had some really interesting insights. You think like, who is, nobody's believing this. What are you talking about? And then you have the Democrat in Kentucky, Andy Beshear, the governor, who is demanding proof of life essentially. He wants an update on the medical condition. You're getting some of that from the Republicans as well. But of course, in a very Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham kind of operative twist, you've got this issue where if Mitch McConnell were to have suffered a very serious medical event such that he would have to leave the Senate, if he did so before August 3rd in Kentucky, that would trigger a special election. And the special election could really mess up the Republicans in the general election, because as you point out, Mitch McConnell's not running for re-election. So you've got the table set. Everything's good to go for the re-election. We're gonna have another Republican senator from Kentucky in January. But if McConnell were to leave office before then, you'd have a special election. Now you'd have a new incumbent who might run for re-election. All of a sudden, this easy replacement becomes very, very complicated. And so what's gonna happen? I think people are gonna be really, really cagey on Mitch McConnell until August 3rd. And I don't buy that he's speaking of all the latest updates on Platner and Iran and all the rest of that. I guess I buy the photo. The photo is pretty weird, though, too. Then his wife, the former transportation secretary, I mean, she was in China, reportedly meeting with the vice president of China while he was in the hospital. So look, McConnell obviously is not in great health. He's frozen up in recent years. Now, reportedly, he took a fall also in recent days. I don't really know about any of that. The one thing I do know, people will be accused of being cynical and overly political by encouraging this kind of subterfuge and obscurity all the way through August 3rd. And I think this is classic McConnell. This is all cocaine Mitch, who says that the winners make laws and the losers go home. So I'm fairly confident that he, more than anybody, would love to at least keep things going through August 3rd, such that the legacy of his seat is secure. But any reporting that I'm getting until then, I'm taking it with a very, very hefty grain of salt. I know, me too. So what he says is, again, here's the exact quote. The leaked EMS dispatch audio describes an unconscious patient with a paramedic referencing, and this is in quotes, cardiac arrest and quote CPR in progress. Okay, then, and there's video posted by TMZ of Mitch McConnell being wheeled out of his home in DC on a stretcher and loaded into an ambulance the morning of June 14th. Then what he said in a statement here via his staff, it's not, we don't get to see him on camera. We don't get to hear him directly. Here's CNN video. I mean, it's got like junior Ayatollah vibes out of Iran, how we never get to see the new Ayatollah. We just get to hear his voice, but we're not even there with Mitch McConnell. And Mitch McConnell's not gay. We should clarify that. He is married to Elaine Chao. So that's one other difference between the Supreme Leader. Sorry, go on. And not a terrorist either. He says, okay, last month I took a fall, which landed me in the hospital. My doctors have confirmed I didn't break any bones or suffer a concussion. I didn't have a heart attack or a stroke. I don't have any tumors or hemorrhages, but I was briefly unconscious and was taken to the hospital. And now I have a mild case of pneumonia. I don't know. If you look at that picture, you can see the Washington Post on the bottom left corner underneath his thumb. But I'm not sure why the EMS, the people responsible for saving your life say you had a cardiac arrest and that CPR was in progress. I think I'd be most unhappy if they performed CPR on me when my heart was fine and I was breathing. Seems like a novice mistake, Michael Dahls. I think there might be a lawsuit in order there. Yeah. I don't know what's going on, but I don't trust anybody anymore. I trust nobody for nothing. Yeah, no, I remember back when I was a single guy, I'd always get in trouble for trying to perform CPR on women. And they'd say, I'm not having a heart attack. What are you doing? Stop it. The other big problem for this story is if he really had a serious heart attack, the odds of surviving a heart attack or not having very serious consequences from it at that age, not in a hospital, are pretty rough. So regardless, what we do know is what we were being told about his health is that he's in tip top shape and it's all good. And he's reading the paper and talking about Iran. And I don't think anybody really believes that. It seems that he's alive. He's Schrodinger's senator at the moment. No one is totally certain, but it seems like he's alive and communicative, but we don't really know. I'm not sure if he's communicative. Yeah, I'm skeptical. I'm pretty skeptical. But regardless, if Mitch McConnell's staff is as much McConnell has run things for decades, we're probably not going to find out until my estimate would be August 3rd, would be my guess. Because the GOP is already down now. Forgive me for being so political about it, but they're down a senator now thanks to poor Lindsey Graham dying so suddenly. So now we're down to 52. And if McConnell's down, that's 51. That doesn't leave a lot of room to maneuver for President Trump, especially when he's got senators like Collins, Murkowski, Rand Paul. There's a bunch who just can't stand Trump who aren't reliable Republican votes to begin with. So if things get more and more precarious for Team Red over there in the Senate, we'll continue to follow that too. really, really value your input and your support. We may not always agree, but we are always going to talk about it and respect. No BS, no agenda, no fear. For the first time since World War Two, our national debt has exceeded the gross domestic product. America's reckless government spending keeps catching up with us, higher inflation, higher prices, higher cost of living expenses, and higher interest payments on the national debt. Every dollar Washington spends on interest is a dollar it has to tax, borrow, or print.
