Does it scare anyone else that he’s just reading words that he doesn’t seem to comprehend the meaning of?

This guy can no longer speak correctly nor articulate his words. I'm not saying he has dementia, but I do believe he is in the early stages. I need CC on just to understand a word he says and even then, CC is confused AF lol
