and finally scott county indiana.you might know that's one of the few places in the us of the new epidemic of hiv-aids. one former company that did nothing to stop opioid misuse if you battle addiction if you can't snort it doesn't stop you you just turn to a needle. then governor mike pence shut down the needle exchange programs so now they are illegal for criminals why should we spend money on criminal healthcare? indiana guided the local clinics so here's the brakes if you are a person in indiana battling a disorder then you turn to needles now you can find a clean needle so it is predictable more folks get needle bore diseases like appetite a see and hiv-aid hiv-aids. that's not where it ends. these things keep going. they have families, communitie families, communities, now they have hiv-aids the families miss them they are in jail the communities have been left behind. indiana has a very low property tax gap and a robust school voucher program so better off families don't want their kids to attend the children o

and finally, i want to talk about scott county, indiana. you might know it as one of the few places in the u.s. with a population epidemic of hiv aids. we understand the cost. one company with tamper-resistant opioids which can't be crushed and snorted. this does nothing to stop the opa opioid misuse. drugs like heroin and fentanyl. number two, governor mike pence shuts down the needle exchange programs in the state. legal drugs are illegal and therefore from criminals and why should we spend money on criminal healthcare. three, indiana gutted to shut down or cut funding for places like planned parenthood. if you are a person in indiana battling the disorder, then you turn to needles but now you can find a clean needle and the critics are unavailable so it's more folks get needle borne diseases like hiv aids and hepatitis c. but that's not where the story ends. things keep going. these people have families, communities and now they have hiv aids, hepatitis c or they are in jail. these people can these communities have been left behind. indi

the ending his campaign for the democratic presidential nomination the former mayor of south bend indiana narrowly defeated bernie sanders in the iowa caucuses and finished a strong 2nd in new hampshire but he did struggle in states with large minority populations finishing poorly in nevada last week and in south carolina on saturday the announcement comes hours just hours in fact before super tuesday that's when 14 states head to the polls to choose the democratic challenger to donald trump let's go now straight to peter matthews he's a professor of political science at suppress college he's also a democratic candidate for congress in california joining us via skype from los angeles thanks very much for your time with us on this new story on. what's your reaction to him dropping out. well it was coming to be expected because he was having some trouble with the minority of people of color votes african-american looked like next voters as was shown into that and also down south carolina where he came in 4th place so it's pretty expected but on the other hand he also raised a lot of money h

we have indiana as a perfect example. indiana has two time zones, a divide state. notably that was not always so. indiana got its boundary mixed up when detroit jump evidence ship and went to the eastern time zone, pulling half of michigan with it. so that boundary started to move. indiana has two i'm seenes, central and eastern. i almost can't bleach -- believe i understand this. here's. the deal. some counties in central time zone spring disburden some don't. some countiness the eastern time zone bring spurred some don't so indiana has four time zones. that could petition themselves into a single time zone. there's every reason to believe that the time zones in the next ten or 15 years i would say are going to be collapsed from four to three. it's causing too much confusion in the country so i think that will change. there is no question but that the amount of daylight saving we have is going to change. many of you probably know dish don't know who -- as enough everyone is obsessed with this topic as i am -- it's preposterous and i apologize for indicting you the
