0:00.0	Major breaking news from this morning, Senator Bernie Sanders has been hospitalized for a hard
0:05.4	procedure and is canceling his future events until further notice. Now, I want to be very
0:10.7	delicate here. I wish Senator Sanders a quick and speed recovery. I hope he is okay and I hope
0:15.1	this is not a severe, but we do have to talk about the political nature of these things and
0:19.7	this issue with Bernie is sparking several debates whether or not his campaign is downplaying
0:25.2	the severity of the issue whether or not it was simple and Gina or a serious heart attack.
0:29.6	That's what we'll talk about, but we're also hearing now people speculate Bernie, he may be
0:34.4	winding down his campaign. This may be the the end run for him due to these health concerns.
0:38.9	I need to stress, throughout 2016 and even today, the mental health, the physical health of
0:44.3	candidates has been a huge point of scrutiny for every candidate. In 2016 Hillary Clinton was,

1:05.2	What I mean to say is if Bernie Sanders is run out of the race, it should be on the merit of his
1:10.4	ideas not because something with his heart. His ideas deserve to be heard and deserve to be challenged
1:15.6	and if they are good ideas, the people have a right to support him. However, as many of you know,
1:20.2	it's not politics works and one big factor in a presidential candidate is going to be their
1:24.9	health. So this is a big issue. So let's read the story from the New York Times about Bernie Sanders'
1:31.5	heart procedure. But I want to stress Bernie Sanders is cancelling his Iowa TV ad runs which sends
1:38.3	signals to many people sparking rumors and maybe the end for his campaign. But let's read. They say,
1:44.1	Senator Bernie Sanders was hospitalized and treated for an artery blockage and is canceling his
1:48.4	events for the coming days, a campaign official said on Wednesday. Quote,
