There is a serious situation with the health and well-being of Democrat Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman
0:06
And it's something the entire country has to face and they have to face it right now
0:10

We have a good time there. But what's not good for the country is that Senator John Fetterman has checked himself into Walter Reed Medical Center with clinical depression
0:47
Now, there are people out there maybe watching this, maybe people you know in your life that have clinical depression
0:55
It's not something to be laughed at. It's not something to be mocked. It is not something to snicker at
1:00
It's serious. It's dangerous. It is dangerous for the person who has it
1:04
And all I can say off the bat is I have kept Senator Fetterman in my prayers and I'll continue to do so because he deserves that
1:18
And because any human being deserves that. I feel for him. I feel this is a man that was pushed into this Senate race that had to continue going even if he didn't want to
1:29
I could be wrong. But that's what I feel about it. That's what my instinct tells me about it
1:35
This is a man who suffered a serious stroke at the very beginning of the campaign
1:40
He should have been replaced there. Now, well now people on his own team are saying that because he did not rest, because he did not get the help he needed and just relax after that stroke
1:52
that the damage could be permanent. Now, he was sent to the hospital last week for lightheadedness
1:59
They said there was no signs of stroke or seizure and that's great. But the fact is this man, I think is not healthy and shame on the people who forced him to do this because yeah, I think what's contributing to his depression right now is the realization that he's never going to be the same
2:21
Is the realization that he has to do this job now for six years and maybe the realization that the people that were supposed to care about him cared more about their own power, their own fame, their own wealth than they cared about him
2:36
So this country has to face this right now because there's a senator who may not be able to do the job
2:45
And if he's not, he's going to have to resign. I would advise him and I'm not a medical professional, but I would advise him to resign as a friend
2:53
If I were his friend, I'd say the time to resign is right now. This is not worth it, man
2:58
And if you feel better in six years, go get him again
3:01
You'll win probably in a landslide just in the sentimental vote. But right now you need to take care of yourself
3:08
You need to take care of your family. You need to take care of what's important. I don't care about his position as a senator, as a Republican or a Democrat who controls the Senate
3:17
I don't care about any of that when it comes to this story. I care about this man's health
3:22
I care about his well-being. As a person myself who suffers from anxiety, I understand what that can be like
3:29
I don't understand what depression is like. I don't. It's a lot more from what I understand than just quote, getting the blues, end quote
3:37
I don't know what it's like. I've never really known anybody to have clinical depression, but I do know that it has destroyed people
3:47
And you see it happen. It's a real thing. It's a serious thing. It is not something we should mock or poke fun at, but it is something we should question in terms of his continued service in the Senate
3:59
He's been in the Senate for about a month and he's been in the hospital twice
4:05
That's a concern and that should be a concern no matter what. Republican, Democrat, Independent, something like that
4:12
One month of service, you've been hospitalized twice. That's an issue. Folks, I want to thank you for joining us here at Explain America today
