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.
