President Joe Biden’s doctor at the White House is a family friend and a one-time business partner of the president’s brother, ties that warrant serious skepticism of his integrity, according to experts. White House physician Kevin O’Connor, a primary source of information on the president’s health that the administration has relied on to deflect questions about his fitness, wrote in a letter on Monday that Biden has not seen a neurologist outside of his annual physical despite records showing a Parkinson’s Disease expert visiting the White House multiple times in the past year. However, as concerns about Biden’s health swirl following a poor debate performance, experts say O’Connor’s reliability in giving accurate information to the public is not only compromised by a history of White House doctors misleading the public about the president’s health, but also O’Connor’s past business dealings with the president’s family exacerbate the conflicting interests. “That compounds the problem,” historian Matthew Algeo told POLITICO. “You’re working for the guy you’re examining, and he’s your buddy. It’s just a lose-lose situation.” Bert Park, a doctor and author of “The Impact of Illness on World Leaders,” said O’Connor’s ties to the Biden family are “one of the many concerns” undermining trust in O’Connor’s public statements on the president’s health “We cannot depend on the presidential physician to come clean,” Park told the news outlet. “That’s a fool’s game.” O’Connor’s relationship with the president and his family began when Biden served as vice president in the Obama administration. O’Connor served as the then-vice president’s government-provided physician. The doctor was an Army colonel on the White House medical staff at the time, according to Politico. After serving Biden for eight years in the White House and advising members of the Biden family on myriad medical issues, including taking a role in the care of Biden’s son Beau who died of brain cancer in 2015, O’Connor left his role as Biden’s physician with the end of the Obama administration. O’Connor’s relationship with the Bidens then shifted from medical to business after the physician began aiding Joe Biden’s brother, Jim Biden, in a pursuit involving the then-struggling hospital chain Americore. The extent of O’Connor’s work on the venture is not clear, but emails obtained by Politico show Jim Biden and O’Connor coordinating in at least one meeting with an executive of a Pennsylvania hospital soon to be acquired by Americore. “It was a pleasure to meet with the two of you on Wednesday,” the executive wrote to Jim and O’Connor. “I am very excited about the possibility of bringing help to the Veterans in our area.” “I truly enjoyed our time together the other day,” O’Connor replied. “You and your team clearly share our vision, and I look forward to seeing you again in coming months.” White House visitor logs show that Kevin Cannard, a movement disorders specialist at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, visited the White House nine times in the past year. At least one of those visits involved a meeting with O’Connor that took place at 5 p.m. ET on January 17. Medical experts sounding off on Biden’s appearance have said the president seems to be suffering mental and physical degeneration of some kind. Neurologist Tom Pitts said that Biden “definitely” is suffering from Parkinson’s based on what Pitts has seen of Biden’s behavior. “Oh yeah, I see him 20 times a day in clinic,” Pitts said, referring to his own patients who exhibit the same sort of symptoms as the president, during an interview with NBC News. “It’s ironic because he has just this classic features of neurodegeneration: word-finding difficulties — and that’s not just ‘Oh, I couldn’t find the right word’ — that’s from degeneration of the word retrieval area.”

“The Daily Show” host Jon Stewart sounded off with some strong opinions about President Joe Biden’s debate performance and his chances of winning his re-election bid in November. The 61-year-old political commentator began by lamenting how long of a time there is between primaries and elections in America, which is different from European countries. “Four months is for-f***ing-ever!” Stewart said during his monologue in Monday’s show. Unlike other Hollywood figures — notably Rob “Meathead” Reiner and leftist novelist Stephen King — the host didn’t explicitly say Biden should end his campaign or resign. But he did say a dialogue should take place following Biden’s shaky debate performance last month. “Can’t we stress test this candidacy?” Stewart continued. “Can’t we open up the conversation? Do you understand the opportunity here? Do you have any idea how thirsty Americans are for any hint of inspiration or leadership, and a release from this choice [between] a megalomaniac and a suffocating gerontocracy?” “The debate was a shocking display of cognitive difficulty,” the “Daily Show” host continued. “Recognizable to, unfortunately, anybody who’s dealt with aging parents — and it’s a hard watch.” Stewart went on to claim that former President Donald Trump performed as expected during the debate, which only served to highlight Biden’s incompetency — in his opinion. “The difference is Trump delivered at the debate to expectation. We expect him to be f***ing crazy. But Biden’s performance, and inability to articulate at times, was stunning. I could not believe what I was watching… But then it got worse,” Stewart went on. He said, “Rather than respecting the American people and having an honest, at least partial conversation about what we had all seen, we were told immediately, ‘these are not the droids you’re looking for.’” “Authoritarianism and Donald Trump aren’t the only threats our democracy faces… ‘Get on board or shut the f*** up’ is not a particularly compelling pro-democracy bumper sticker,” he continued in the monologue. Stewart pushed back against critics who claimed there wasn’t enough time to replace Biden as the Democratic candidate, citing European elections as examples. “Britain just held an election in two months. France had two in one month, defeated fascism and still had time to have an affair with Denmark… Four months. It’s 119 days,” the “Daily Show” host insisted. The commentator continued, “On Tuesday, the winners could move on to the next round and then face Biden… Thursday, the party emerges, energized, unified, sanctified. You could televise the entire proceeding for four days.” He concluded the monologue saying, “So, feel free to ignore any obvious weaknesses in your team’s existential fight for freedom and democracy, and then just white-knuckle this thing till November. Or take the advice of your own candidate.” Stewart went on to play a clip of Biden mentioning that there were “about fifty” Democrats who could defeat Trump.

Henry Winkler had a run-in with the FBI. But they weren’t looking for him—they were looking for his Happy Days character. The classic TV icon told his quirky story while speaking to Jason Bateman, Sean P. Hayes, and Will Arnett on the SmartLess podcast. As he shared, he was simply minding his own business at home one day when he heard someone at the door. “So I’m sitting in my apartment,” he said. “I have a Victrola because everything was vinyl; I went to Tower Records on Sunset Boulevard. I bought, Dan Fogelberg, and I was listening to Dan Fogelberg on my rented Victrola. The door knocks.” When he opened the door, three men “with badges” were standing there. He immediately wondered what he’d done. “I said, ‘Oh no, you do not smell what you think you’re smelling,” Henry joked. “‘Oh my God.’ ” Henry Winkler Didn’t Mind The “Abuse” Of “Assets” At that time, Happy Days was in its prime, and Henry Winkler was one of the biggest stars in Hollywood. He admitted that he was used to people showing up and asking for autographs. However, he was definitely taken aback by the agents. “And they said, ‘We’re with the FBI.’ Mhmm. ‘We’re not here for that. We just wanted to meet the Fonz,’ ” he recalled. Jason Bateman pointed out that looking up Henry’s address was “a bit of an abuse of their assets,” but Henry didn’t mind. He was relieved that he wasn’t in trouble. “I was so happy that I was not being put in handcuffs. I didn’t care what they did,” he laughed.
