The 85-year-old was reportedly taken to the hospital and the stream was cut short.
“The incident happened just after 12 p.m. ET on Friday when Paul, who is 85 years old, was speaking about the economy on his YouTube channel,” BNO News reported Friday. “His speech became slurred as he struggled to continue speaking.”
According to the news outlet, the livestream has since been made private, offering “no immediate word on what happened.”
Fox News reported that Paul was hospitalized Friday in Texas for “precautionary” reasons.
Paul, a former three-time presidential hopeful, served as a Congressman from Texas for more than 20 years, before leaving office in 2013.
UPDATE: At around 3 p.m., Paul posted a photo of himself from his hospital bed to Twitter. “Message from Ron Paul: ‘I am doing fine. Thank you for your concern,’” the post reads. Paul has a smile on his face and is giving a thumbs-up.

The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.
