SCARBOROUGH: “... going to run for president for another four years.”
GUPTA: “Yeah.”
SCARBOROUGH: “Obviously, the PSA exam is not 100 percent accurate, and I’ve never met a doctor that doesn’t say you needed to do the PSA exam and also have the physical exam as well. I just find it hard —“
GUPTA: “That’s right.”
SCARBOROUGH: “— to believe that any White House physician wouldn’t say, ‘OK,’ — well, what my doctor, what every other doctor says, which is, ‘OK, we’ve done the PSA test and that’s fine, but at least once a year, we need to do a physical exam.’ Again, if you’re just talking —“
GUPTA: “Yeah.”
SCARBOROUGH: “— about a 78-year-old guy that is not running the free world, that’s one thing, but if you’re a White House physician and you have any man over 40 years old, are you not going to at least say, ‘Hey, once a year,’ — like every other physician says — ‘once a year, we need to do a physical exam and check?’ Because this is like one of the leading causes — you know, one of the leading sicknesses for men over 40.”

To your point, he’s the leader of the free world. Did they do it and not characterize it? It’s hard to know. We’re speculating here. I would say in an abundance of caution, probably be holistic and comprehensive, that would make sense. It is interesting to note that President Trump’s, President Obama’s, and President Bush II, in their most recent physicals, in their terms of office, obviously 2025 for President Trump, did comment on their PSA levels. And so they got screened while in office and they commented on it. It’s not easy to access the most recent ones from President Biden. You can read summary articles. I couldn’t access it on the archives in the White House just before it came on. But according to those that were able to, there is not a report of a PSA test on the most recent physical that was read out for President Biden’s last year in office. And so it’s — to say what was done, what was not done, you and I would be speculating. But the other three most recent occupants of the White House had it drawn and it was reported out in the case of president —
