John Fettermanstruggles to understand what he hears and to speak clearly after having a stroke.
Fetterman was interviewed by Burns in his home on Friday.
Burns explained on Tuesday that he had a monitor set up so that he could read his questions because he had a hard time understanding what he was hearing. He is able to comprehend the question once he reads it.

She said that he had a hard time understanding our conversations when the closed caption was not yet up and running and that he still has some problems.
Fetterman, who is currently Pennsylvania's lieutenant governor, said during the interview that he sometimes hears things that are not clear. I use caption so I can see what you're saying.
He doesn't think his stroke will affect his ability to serve in the Senate.
He said that he was going to get better and better. I will be better by January. The doctor is going to be a fraud.
Fetterman stuttered and had difficulty finding words during the interview.
The stroke has changed the way he talks to his family. He said that it has changed everything in his day-to- day life.
He said that it gets better there. The main challenge is that I use captioned. Every now and then I will miss something. It happens every now and then. Sometimes, I will combine two words. I'm able to understand what's being asked if I have access to captioned audio.
Fetterman was struggling to say the word "pathetic" during the interview.
Fetterman said that he didn't think it was hard. Fetterman said that it was about having to be thinking more slowly to understand.
Fetterman said that he has been open with the public about his health and recovery and that he did not know of any undisclosed symptoms.
His cognitive function and memory are unaffected even though he has difficulties with his hearing.
Fetterman said that they have been very transparent. I was told by my doctor that I could serve and be running. You can't be any more transparent than standing up on a stage with 3,000 people and having a speech without a teleprompter and just being. Everyone in Pennsylvania is able to see that.
Fetterman dodged debates from Mehmet Oz. The Democrat is either healthy or too sick to participate in the debate because he doesn't want to answer for his radical left positions. Oz wants his opponent's medical records to be made public.
If Fetterman is not well enough to debate his opponent, that raises serious concerns about his ability to serve as a senator.
Fetterman and Oz will debate on October 25.
Fetterman leads Oz by 3.8 percentage points.
