Description
After winning by a wide margin in the Nevada Caucuses, Bernie Sanders has cemented his frontrunner status in the Democratic nominating process so far. The fight moves on to South Carolina and Super Tuesday, but in the meantime, establishment Democrats are nervous that Sanders may be too far to the left and could not defeat President Trump in a general election. Ginger Gibson, political reporter for Reuters, joins us for this and more disagreement between the administration and the intelligence community.
Next, lifesaving organs, mostly kidneys, that are scheduled for transplants are trashed each year and many are critically delayed after being shipped on commercial airlines. There is no national system to transfer organs from one region to another and is instead left to 58 non-profit organizations to collect the organs and package them. From there, if the organ needs to make a trip, they rely on commercial couriers and airlines to get it to its destination. And missed connections and delays could endanger the use of the organ if it doesn’t arrive in time. JoNel Aleccia, senior correspondent at Kaiser Health News, joins us for how some organs go missing in transit.
