he didn't really turn braddock around. he bought property for himself, which he's profiting from. >> you would think as the major, you would reach out to the local businesses, say i'm the mayor, if there's anything i can do let me know. that never happened. the renaissance of braddock coming back never did happen. how many vacant buildings do we have here. >> those were braddock businessmen, conservatives that say they gave fetterman a shop. under fetterman there 80 no murders for five years, his campaign says. he says he brought local affordable housing and a community center. >> he gave people the opportunity to open up business. you can't blame that all on him. >> everything don't happen overnight. everything is over time. it's over time. >> yeah, i do believe there's a hope. there is hope. he brought that. he brought that back. >> now, as mayor fetterman was notoriously absent city council meetings and ass will governor of pennsylvania, the a.p. reported that he was often absent from state business in harrisburg. a big

fetterman and asked him to sell me on braddock. he told me the crime rate was lower than anywhere, including pittsburgh. six years later, i haven't seen much happening at all, we have vacant buildings and it looks like a war zone. >> carley: once a town of 20,000 and now it is down to 1700, what happened? >> the steel industry in the '60s and early '70s decimated the town. i recall -- down here shopping with my mother in the late '60s and it was bustling. the steel town, i know the economy and steel industry never came back. >> carley: you mention crime and now you have john fetterman trying to distance himself from support of black lives matter and defund the police and some of the soft on crime things that he said in the past. are you buying that? >> no, i'm not. it's just narrative he has pulling the wool over our eyes. those of us know better, it's sad. -- dr. oz in a debate october 25th before they debate and we need to know now and get questions answered, he's ducking too many questions. >> carley: very interesting article in

when fetterman says hey, oh, i helped create jobs in braddock we are like where?0 of us and like 5050 in braddock. we need a grocery store. we need businesses. people need jobs. >> jesse: he couldn't cut as it mayor and he is definitely not fit to serve as senator. here is what he said yesterday. staff [inaudible] >> and here's what he said today. >> talk about the liver -- the liberty of state -- has never had an inscription inside that said, you know, send your tired hunterred masses. >> again, we are not here to mock fetterman. we feel sorry for him. he should be resting and recovering. not running for the u.s. senate. everybody who saw the oz-fetterman debate tuesday knows fetterman is unfit for office. they know that. but schumer thought the debate went great and then got caught on a hot mic today telling biden what he wants to hear. >> jesse: if biden started listening to voters instead of politicians, this country would be in a lot better shape. here are the people of pennsylvania in their own words. >> from day bun, once he had his stroke, i felt he should

avenue in braddock.didn't even walk down the street and talk to people and introduce himself. jon: people think the traditional voting groups will both vote the way they have always voted. you need to talk to voters about what's most important to them. listen to their concerns. there is this idea that suburban women are going to go away because of abortion. there is an idea that minorities vote a certain way because they always have. and there is this idea that voters might not split their vote between oz and shapiro. but if you listen to voters, that's not entirely the case. jon: i know you spoke to pastor jim nelson about what's on his mind. he sees the struggles of every day americans up close. what was the lesson you took away from interviewing him? >> pastor nelson is a pastor in duquesne. they have a problem with poverty and the sense of helplessness. inflation is impacting these families in a very large way. he said i'm not a democrat, i'm not a republican, i'm a christ-o-crat. >jon: there are par

fetterman, a democrat, currently serves as the state's number two, and was once mayor of braddock, a than 2,000 residents. he has lived in pennsylvania his entire life, something he's played up in his campaign ads, pointing out his opponent has not. >> i ask you is to send dr. oz back to new jersey and send me to washington, d.c. >> reporter: earlier this year a stroke significantly slowed down fetterman's ability to campaign for a time, though he now uses that experience as a new talking point. >> you may have had a real serious health challenge in your life. anyone? i hope that you didn't have a doctor in your life making fun of it, laughing at you, telling you that you're not able to do your job. >> i think the stroke and the obvious impact that it had opened the door to many voters who want to at least think about whether they would consider mehmet oz. >> reporter: dr. mehmet oz, a republican, seeming to follow president trump, a celebrity turned politician hoping to keep senator toomey's seat red in the process. >> pennsylvania needs a conservative who will put america first. >>

crime in braddock skyrocketed during his time in office. in 2017 robberies, property crimes, violent crimes, they all surged. crime didn't start going down until fetterman left office in 2019. his town got safer when he wasn't in charge of it anymore. i think he is confused. maybe he thought when he chased black men out of town with a shotgun he was stopping crime. >> heard approximately a dozen of more what clearly sounded like assault rifle gunshots go off. >> mayor john fetterman says he rushed his son inside, called 911, and took off in his truck after a masked man in black he saw running. but, chris, the man fetterman confronted turns out to be an innocent jogger who police say had no weapon. >> there wasn't any assault rifle shots bottle rockets behind the library. >> mayor fetterman did have a weapon. >> a 0 gauge shotgun under the backseat of my truck which i pulled out and i showed to just say look, we are going to wait here and we are going to get this all sorted sought when the police arrive. >> he and the marital very different

violence skyrocketed in braddock. it wasn't in good shape when he got there it got worse when he was there. >> in fairness, this were no murders during the time that fetterman was mayor of braddock but violent crime was a factor. much of the criticism of fetterman comes from his role as the head of the board of pardons in pennsylvania where he recommended commutations and pardons, even convicted murderers. a lot of people that is not the way to fight violent crime. martha? >> jeff, thank you very much. jeff flock in philadelphia. let's watch this other moment now from the debate. watch. >> here's what i think we have to fight about inflation right now. you know, it's a tax on working families, you know. and dr. oz can't possibly understand what that is like. you know? he has ten mansions. >> i've been trying to talk about policy issues with the people of opinion opinion. i listen to their ideas. when john fetterman brings up houses, the irony, he didn't pay for his own house. he got it from a dollar from his sister an

as mayor in braddock was a community with significant gun violence issues. it. that is never been accomplished before or after. i run on my record. the tattoos are really just about dates. i was at the scene of every single single murder as mayor and it was a deeply purpose personal issue. iran on that issue and i was able to stop it. for five and a half years doctor oz has used his lie about that on tv. >> let me ask you also about an issue. it doesn't show up in the polls because it doesn't mean that people would even be honestly about it and it's your health. event health challenges the last year. do you think the people's concerns about your health are weighing in to their decision about whether to support you for the united states senate? >> absolutely. with my health is at my doctors, real doctors as opposed to doctor oz all agree that i am fit to run and serve. doctor oz lies about my health as well. it's that oz rule again, when he's on tv he will be lying. the truth is also that in january i'm gonna be much better, but he will still be a fraud. that

maybe i'll have to go to braddock myself. i have to show up there and offer him the camera right in front of them. all right. takata, thank you. we turn tonight now to arizona, where it is very important. we have very important elections going on in just twenty nine days from now. we have a republican senate candidate, blake masters is now surging in the polls after last week's beatdown in the debate against schumer wannabe senator mark kelly . also in arizona, gubernatorial candidate corey lake. well, she is now in the lead pretty healthy lead and has been very impressive. but her democratic opponent, katie hobbs, is proving to be an awful, terrible candidate for many reasons. for starters, she supports amnesty for illegal immigrants. >> actually made the comment. it's ridiculous. to even be talking about the border. i'm like, you live in arizona. and that should be discussed. it's on top of mind of everybody in the state of arizona, the state of texas border states . on the state level, she voted against tax decreases, at l

the mayor of braddock pets of any other time claims the community understood his act actions. >> whyen't you apologize to the unarmed innocent black man who you put a shotgun to his chest? >> everybody in braddock, an overwhelming majority of community of black -- they all understood what happened. >> the two candidates tackling the issue of abortion. the federal government shouldn't be involved while fetterman doubled down on his pro-choice stance. >> as a position, i've been in the room where there are difficult conversations happening but i do not want the federal government involved with that at all. >> i supported roe v. wade. that was a law of the land for 50 years. he celebrated when that fell down and i would fight to reestablish on roe v. wade. >> fetterman's mitigation director seeming thrilled with the democrat's performance. >> for a guy who was just in the hospital months ago, took it to dr. oz pretty [bleep]ing hardware john spoke better tonight than he did in the primary. >> the debate was a complete disaster for john fetterman there he was not able to defend any of hi

and that was really what stuck with me from the day i spent with these canvassers in braddock. no one is going to a door and saying we're going to codify roe. stick but. nobody knows what that means. they're also not going up to doors and saying we pass the inflation reduction act so stick us with. they're saying, we're for worker rights and women's rights. what do you by this that? and that connection is something that i think is often missing between washington and communities which is why it's so important to go out and talk to people. >> and the real world implications of having another child when you're not getting by with, for example, the four kids you have now. you know? the complications of all of that, i don't think have been understood in terms of the national narrative. then there is also this question, i wonder how you think democrats should think about this. the fear of losing the right to abortion is more important in blue states. look, could that be contributing to the abortion question not being as motivating and resonating in some blue states where there are w

big i'll have to go to braddock myself. i have to show up there and offer him the camera right there on the spot. we returned to arizona where very important elections are going on 29 days from now. blake masters is now surging in the polls after last week's beat down, the debate against schumer wanted be mark kelly also in arizona, gubernatorial kari lake is now in the lead, healthy lead, and has been very impressive but her democratic opponent katie hobbs is proving to be an awful, terrible candidate for many reasons. for starters she supports amnesty for illegal immigrants, actually made the comment that it's ridiculous to even talk about the burner. i said, you live in arizona. it's on top of mind of everybody in arizona, texas, border states. on the state level shoe voted against tax decreases and leaves 13 times, but says she is for them. her position on abortion is even more downright extreme. hobbs is in favor of late-term abortion up to the moment of birth. no restrictions at all whatsoever. >> abortion is a very p

naturally, the privileged mayor of braddock was able to escape any charges and has never apologized to this day he is defending these horrific actions. for 12th imagine if a republican did this. fetterman's tough guy champion of the people act, and it is an act, is a great farce. he is not looking out for the people of pennsylvania. he only cares about propping up, thwarted eco. that is even more obvious following fetterman's recent stroke. in all honesty, we wish him a full recovery. i wouldn't wish that on anybody, but he should release real medical records. unfortunately, we do not know exactly how bad it is or why fetterman has that giant lump on the back of his neck. because he refuses to release his medical records. dr. oz has and it's now more obvious than ever that the democratic candidate for the senate in pennsylvania is not cognitively competent. take a look, you decide. >> we already new this would be a tight race. >>> how are you feeling and how are you doing? >> i am doing fantastic. it's not about kicking balls in the authority or anything. they are so much better than e

fetterman then the mayor of braddock armed with a shotgun tried to detain an unarmed black jogger.d gunshots and saw the man running and had nothing to do with race. crime and drugs are the second most important issue for pennsylvania's hispanic voters. the economy and inflation are first, abortion is fourth. that same poll found fetterman has a lead with hispanic voters. oz campaign hopes to win over voters over crime and -- >> dr. oz celebrated when roe v. wade fell and he called every abortion a murder. and he also believes that the choice to decide belongs with him, not with women and their doctors. >> he seems to care more about the murderers than families of the victims. as evidenced by several cases. >> fetterman is holding two rallies in york and bucks county. >> dana: thank you for covering it today. >> bill: the news, dana. pain at the pump. soon to get more painful. opec will dramatically cut its oil production by 2 million barrels a day. mike sommers president of the american petroleum institute. good morning and thank you for coming back here. your initial reaction. th

violent skyrocketed in braddock. the town wasn't in good shape when he got there. it got worse when he. -- >> okay, john. i know you are chomping at the bit. i thought this was an important exchange because it's been one of the central issues in the campaign. it's one of vitamin's biggest weak points. his personal record on the parole board, his personal statements about letting people out of jail, trying to empty the jails, one third of people -- this is become the real reason that republicans have been able to reel in this race and make, it essentially, a tight race. overall tonight, i will just tell you, apart from this topic, i thought this was the unraveling of one of the biggest scandals going on in this mid term cycle, the covering up and the lying about the status of john fetterman. we were told, oh, he motions words together. and if he has this accommodation -- it's just a hearing problem. they have not been honest with people from the minute this happened, when back in the primary, they pushed this debate off as far as they could. it all came out tonight.

that's really what stuck with me from the day that i spent with these canvassers in braddock.up to a door and saying, we're gonna codify roe, stick with us. nobody knows what that means. they're also not going up to doors and saying, we pass the inflation reduction act, so stick with, they're saying we're for workers'rights, but for women's rights. what do you think about that? and that connection, that's something that's often missing between washington and communities. which is why it's so important to go out and talk to people. >> and the real world implications of having another child when you're not getting by, with four kids you have now. the complications of all that. i don't think they've been under stead, in terms of the national narrative. then there's this question, i wonder if you think democrats should think about this. we're hearing reporting a blue state malaise, multiple democratic strategists saying, the fear of losing the right to abortion is proving to be a less motivating factor in blue states. because voters believe their access to the procedural be protec

dennis: if you go back and you look at his record on braddock, pa.w, it's clear he's drove down the homicide rate when he was the mayor for five and a half years. and he did that by working with the police officers and working with the community together. judy: all of these issues take center state at tonight's one and on debate between the candidates. >> remember to vote. judy: but with the voter registration deadline now passed, and mail-in voting already underway, stephen medvic at franklin and marshall says the cake may already be baked. stephen: you know, a debate that late might not change many minds, but if something happens, it's close enough to the election that that the effect that it might have will carry through to election day for maybe just enough voters to to to make the difference. judy: high stakes, narrow margins, and time running short. top election officials and several key states including pennsylvania have warned we may not see final results on election night. jessica huseman is the editorial director of votebeat, a news organiz

called braddock. >> now, his sister evesistn chie in, selling fetterman his home for one dollar. >> i wish i got that deal anyway.t that so fetterman was an abjectry m failure by every measure. >>. and during his time inime in office, violen ot crime in thatl small town went up dramatically. the town's populatioly thwent down 21%. t down the median income went down to less than fifteen thousandan dollars. and fetterman was best knownetings for not showing up at any council meetings because he missed most of them. now, he also gained notoriety after a cctv footage captured cp him vandalizing a local africanus, american owned business. he did this in the middle of the night and even worse, inzarr another bizarre incident, fetterman literally chased dow nased d an innocent, unarmedow i african-american joggennocr and held a shotgun to his chest and kept him captive. after, by the way, mistaking fireworks for, quote, a shooting. camer prob admitted he probably broke the law. d mayo now, naturally, the privilege mayor of braddock was able t o escape any charges and has never apologized to

he didn't happen the small town of braddock where he was mayor.e believes in grabbing other people's guns, but using a gun to threaten, harass and threaten a black jogger. brian: caught on video. >> he wants to have taxpayer funded drug dens and needle exchanged and the rest. the one that gets me the most. john fetterman believes in giving second, third, fourth chances to criminals. he doesn't believe in giving second, third, fourth chances to the school children of pennsylvania. the governor of pennsylvania has stood in the way of the state legislature and parents and grandparents watching these kids in failing schools. brian: we just put up a few polls from emerson to trafalgar. dr. oz is trailing in all of them, but within striking distance. the issues have switched. and they have turned on the democrats. i think anyone would tell you that. crime is first and foremost. the economy has collapsed and the border now matters. >> pennsylvania is a border state. nevada is a border state. every state is a border state because of the fentanyl crisis. h

what are they talking about. >> i was in braddock, the home of john fetterman and spent about six hourshington. people are talking about, yes, they're concerned about abortion rights, but a lot of times they go straight to their concerns about access to health care and paying for child care and the economy. people have a lot going on. and really, my biggest takeaway was, there's a disconnect between washington and how we talk about a lot of these issues and how voters and people in the country actually talk about them. none of these canvassers were going to the door and saying, listen, we're going to codify roe. are you with us? that's not how they talk. what should be encouraging to the fetterman team, and i was in his hometown. everyone there we talked to or they talked was supportive of him, they liked him, they knew who he was. the canvassers, i followeded up with them, what they said, yes, the debate performance is coming up a little bit in the philly suburbs so far in bucks county, and it may be that a lot of people have decided and right now, it's about where the energy is, and w

a mayor, the reason he ran for public office was to help the crime problems in his home city of braddocklife through gun violence over the course of five years. he's got a record on fighting against crime. he's a democrat who will support these bills. based upon the votes this year of the republican party, they are the party of crime in washington. based upon their votes. let them explain why they voted against the cops program. $512 million. why did republicans vote against $675 million that goes to courts and prosecutors to fight crime? they have no answer for them. i think we should emphasize that as people go to vote. >> all right,sir. senator bob casey, thank you for the time. if any of your republican colleagues would like to come on and take on the questions, we're happy to have them on. we appreciate it. >> thanks. >>> coming up, you're looking live at a crowd getting ready for former president barack obama in the battleground state of wisconsin. he was in michigan hours ago. talking about the situation that happened out in san francisco where nancy pelosi's husband was attacked.

john fetterman are campaigning in the closing days of an important race, john fetterman as mayor of braddock outside of pittsburgh. took on violent crime. he has tattoos on his arms of the dates when young men were killed before he became mayor. he spent years working to end violent crime in that town successfully. so why is this an issue in the campaign because tens of millions of dollars of dark money ads from anonymous donors have created a mistaken impression? president biden supports police and supports funding the police and john fetterman has a strong record of fighting at the most local level to combat gun violence in the town where he was elected mayor. you understand how some potential voters out there don't love his record on releasing potentially violent felons. look i understand that there have been misleading ads in this campaign that have created the impression that he somehow is part of a defund the police cabal. that's not true is someone who is a pennsylvanian at heart and who pennsylvania voters know will stand for them quickly. i want to play this because there's been a l

said oz wanted to ban abortion without exception and reduce crime while mayor of the borough of braddock and left the stage. one alleghany democrat frustrated with the lack of my meat on the bones of that campaign said he wouldn't vote for oz but i also won't vote for fetterman. i'll just leave that blank. there's no there there. okay, those are fetterman's supporters saying that. joining us now is dr. mehmet oz. dr. oz, good to see you tonight. in your mind and obviously you're out there every day campaigning all over the state. what is most responsible for this turnaround in the support for you and people fleeing his campaign? >> i'm showing up. voters want to know that you care, and the way you express that is by listening to what they're saying, which is what you do as a doctor as well, and then addressing their kitchen table concerns. while fetterman's talking about the topics you just mentioned and lots of other issues that have nothing to do with the crisis in pennsylvania, i'm talking about crime, the highest homicide rate ever in the city of philadelphia, i'm talking about drugs

john fetterman as mayor of braddock just outside of pittsburgh took on violent crime, he has tattooswere killed before he became mayor and spent years working to end violent crime in the town successfully. why is this an issue in the campaign? because tens of millions of dollars of dark money ads from anonymous voters have created mistaken opinion. president biden supports police and funding the police and john fetterman has a strong record of fighting at the most local level to combat gun vinence in the to he was mayor. >> shannon: he is potentially releasing violent felons. >> chris: i understand there have been misleading ads that created impression he is part of defund -- >> shannon: he said things about the policy. >> chris: voters know he will stand for them. >> shannon: a lot of talk about elect deniers, here is what the former presidential nominee hillary clinton said just days ago. >> right wing extremists have a plan to literally steal the next presidential election. they are not making a secret of it. >> shannon: take that, along with this headline from newsweek, democrats

during his first job as a part-time mayor of a tiny burrell called braddock, population under 2200 and it went down to 1700 by the time he left. he made a name for himself by not showing up to work. reportedly skipping dozens and dozens of city council meetings. while he wasn't at work he did manage to get into a lot of legal trouble. the deadbeat mayor was arrested in 2010 for trespassing at an office building in pittsburgh. look at your screen. that same year it was federman who was caught on camera literally vandalizing a local black owned business in the middle of the night. he later admitted to the act of vandalism but claimed it was justified. okay, justified? >> i know they have cameras out front. it was my way of putting him on notice. it was a public way that i chose to put him on notice. we are going to shut you down. >> forget about the law. that business never closed. three years later fetterman was at it again. he tased an innocent african-american jogger with a shotgun and held him until the police arrive. a falsely blame the jogger for a shooting that never even happen.

[cheers and applause] i ran to be mayor of braddock in a community that has significant gun violence. to be mayor, to fight that. >> moving the arizona immigration is at the center of the discussion and become one of nationwide. blake masters is vying to unseat democratic senator mark kelly. >> everything is on fire. our southern border is a disaster. crime keeps going up. the cost of groceries, the cost of every single thing you need to live keeps going up and up and up. >> inflation is consistently polled as the top issues for voters with gas prices expected to rise again. republicans have placed blame. democrats are trying to keep abortion at the forefront. herschel walker has been accused of paying for an exgirlfriend's abortion. >> in the state of georgia, brian kemp said herschel walker is entitled to his personal choices. no woman is. that's unconscionable. >> speaking about issues, one struggle on the issue on abortion for democrats is where they draw the line. majority of voters support at least some restrictions. >> dana: less than 30 days to go. polls of the north carolina

his record as lieutenant governor and as mayor of braddock.is is a pretty damaging report, basically. he's not a no-show, but just sometimes show lieutenant governor. >> martha: the report goes on to say, the business of pennsylvania governor was not activity but a different kind of executive then he presented himself. >> well, i think it hits on an important point here that if you shift the narrative about the campaign with fetterman's health and stroke to one of his actual performance in office, republicans do think they will benefit from and think they can get some traction there. what we see in the polls thus far, martha, pennsylvanians asked about fetterman, they see someone in touch with their day-to-day lives and with the issues in the state of pennsylvania. fetterman has been toting, emphasizing the fact that dr. oz and an outsider from new jersey as we saw his retort to today's news. they were making him the outsider. what if you change that discussion to one who has fetterman been a good political leader in the state? that is why the

as mayor of braddock pennsylvania, he chased an innocent jogger down the street, held him to a shotgunce. nothing happened in the town to justify that. imagine if a trump did that or any republican had done that. >> they've got two issues. their issue is abortion and by the way these republicans over there are systemic racist. they have that and that's it. they can't talk about prices, they can't talk about gas prices, they can't talk about the border or the pull-out of afghanistan. all they can do is pound the table about abortion and calling the people on the right systemically racist. that's all they got. come november, they will be toast in the house and hopefully in the senate. >> sean: i hope you're right. thanks. we'll have the latest on the deep state as the danchenko trial continues. senator ron johnson is surging in the polls ahead of the mid-terms in november. 27 days from now. he will join us on the latest against the radical he is running against, mandela barnes. that's straight ahead. lincoln's been exploring new ways to deliver sanctuary in its vehicles. comfort for body

. >> in braddock a town he led for years we continue to see high levels of violence.ed after he left. >> he lies about my record on crime but the truths is for five and a half years we stopped the killing and gun violence. >> crime is a big topic in a lot of different races across the country as balance of power hangs in the balance with the midterms. the fbi crime data report out. murder rates up 4.3% a year over year murder rates from 2019 to 2020 up 29.4%. robbery down. but these numbers do not include numbers from new york or l.a., which significantly could increase those. if you look at the fox news polls, voters extremely are very concerned about higher crime rates, 79%. oops, that's the issue that g.o.p. handled better crime plus 13. next one is extremely or very concerned about. 79%. it's amazing how i knew that was coming. let's bring in our panel ben domenech host of the ben domenech podcast on fox news radio. jeff mason and mollie hemingway editor and chief there she is at the federalist. mollie it, seems like more races at least on the republican side are

transparency on his health, but also the sort of holes in his narrative about saving the city of braddock, that has been proven over and over again to be not true. crime rose, population decreased, and businesses left. those are all sort of the foundation of being a healthy town. there's no evidence of a town on a rebound. if that is your story and it's not true, that causes voters to reconsideration their vote. you couple that with oz maturing as a candidate, spending a lot of time on the ground, sort of unglamorous but important visits to rural areas, suburbs, black neighborhoods, other minority neighborhoods, and getting to know voters and listening to them, and i think it's that combination of both that has changed. and oz is talking about those issues whereas fetterman has stuck on, i don't know what his message is. >> sandra: well -- well, he -- he's made it very clear on different levels especially talking about inflation and crime, which is a tough one for democrats in this moment, where you've got really tangible stuff that is happening right now. we had on paul fortuna, an oil a

not surprising abortion rights were only one of many priorities of people who answered the door in braddockworries about childcare, health care and economic opportunity can all be tied to abortion rights and how a woman's right to choose can affect her life, the lives of her children and her partner. rachel, you pointed this out earlier, stacey abrams pointed this out. economics, childcare, anything they can tabak to abortion -- can tie back to abortion. pete: kill the baby, and your life is better. rachel: yeah, that's exactly right. stacy antibiotic wraps, katie porter, aoc, they have all been tying abortion to the economy. what they're saying is, yeah, we destroyed the economy. the answer isn't to fix the economy, to unleash energy and be energy independent again, the answer is for you just to kill your baby. it's also a highly elitist argument and really reveals who these people really are. they're losing hispanics. and so i have a couple of tips for the democrats. one, stop reminding his fannics that you're -- hispanics that you're a pro-radical abortionist because they don't like it.

it notes the then mayor would smell braddock with two cs rather than a ck as a way to appeal to younger allegiances to the crips. there's no evidence, no evidence that fetterman has any ties to the crips. the oz campaign hasn't provided any evidence of this whatsoever. my goodness, this is the most important senate race in the country and this is what we are talking about. >> i think oz would argue they are playing in fetterman's territory. we are talking about this this morning, and that's the goal. this is something that's going to play out very well online. this is a very online argument. fetterman has, i think, used very skillfully twitter, memes to poke fun at oz. oz is, i think, with this argument trying to give him a dose of his own medicine here. >> this is a continuation of the crime issue. right? oz has been trying to attach fetterman as being weak on crime. as loueieutenant governor he tr to reform the parole board. he has given people second chances. this is along those lines trying to -- either dog whistles or not, or just overtly trying to say that fetterman is -- >> what

trump voters quite frankly, especially in the western part of the state where he lived and mayor of braddocksee him in places democrats had trouble in recent years getting a crowd but if you don't turn out the african american, the black vote in philadelphia, you're going to lose the election as a democrat in pennsylvania. >> although i want to mention one thing. sometimes there is a conversation going on about black voters that's not actually with black voters and that happens quite frequently with crime. post 2020 there was a discussion out of the black lives matter movement what it means to have to progressive criminal justice ideas. fetterman is following that and larry the d.a. in philadelphia. so the voters in the suburbs are actually hearing this in the context of a broader discussion about how crime is fought where you have fetterman or krasner saying look, the democrat should continue to push along this track with progressive policies and oz in the republican party saying no, no, no, look what is happening. we have to go back to law and order days. >> it's interesting. you look at t

we sat down at his home in braddock before the stroke and the primary, this was same venue.ifferent context this time around. you notice in the clip i'm about to play, he has a screen in front of him and nbc news agreed to closed captioning during the interview because fetterman is still suffering from auditory processing issues as a result of the stroke. that means, kate, that he has a hard time understanding what people are saying. but when he reads, which you'll see him reading a live transcription of my questions, whether he reads the questions, he can understand them and he can answer them. take a listen to what he told me about all of this. >> everything about it is changed. basically having a conversation with your wife, to having a conversation with your children. just, you know, things, especially early after the stroke, the ability to really understand exactly what i've been heard, but it gets much better where i take in a lot. but to be precise, i use captioning. so that is really the amazing major challenge. >> we spoke to him also about crime, about abortion and

they know him as mayor of braddock, and they know he's someone who has their backs. >> you participated in this event over the weekend and the event used the closed caption-like technology that he's using in his stroke recovery. can you just explain what that was like, how you expect him to do in a debate tomorrow night with dr. mehmet oz? >> yeah. i mean it's pretty straightforward, anderson. first of all, he spoke with no notes, just like he will be at the debate, and he just answered questions. we went back and forth and had a conversation. and the only difference is the words that the moderator says or that his opponent will say are up on the screen so he can read them at the same time he hears them. that's all it is. all of his own words will be spoken from the heart. now, you know, he was never a polished debater to begin with. dr. oz has had a show for 20-some years. but i think what the people of pennsylvania know, what i've seen being out there, is they know that john fetterman is not your typical politician. he's super tall. he's got tattoos. he came into politics starting a g

candidate for the pennsylvania senate seat, john fetterman caught on camera when he was mayor of braddockandalizing a local business sign that was 10 years ago. this is what is going on inside of the democrat party. rao right? you have cori bush defending defund the police. cori bush has hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of security that regular americans don't get. watch this. >> we can't get caught up on the words. people spend more time focusing on the word defund than they spend on caring and addressing the problem of police violence in this country. liz: take that on, bill what do you think? >> i think the epitome of hypocrisy. these folks go in front of the cameras, say they're of the people, by the people, with the people. yet they go to their doorman buildings, their gated communities, they have security surrounding them. you know, they do not live by the rules that we live by. and folks every day are learn being more and more. what they're reporting -- liz: is the answer, sorry to interrupt, people are upset about this. if there is a police brutality is the answer to wipe ou

they nomads mayor braddock, they know he's someone who has their back. >> you participated in this event with lieutenant governor. the event used the code captured technology that he's using and it's stroke recovery. can you explain what that was like, how you expect him to do in a debate tomorrow night with dr. oz? >> yeah, it's pretty straightforward, anderson. first of all, he spoke with no notes, just like he will be at the debate. and he answered questions, we went back and forth, we had a conversation. the only different says, the words that the moderators says, or that is opponent will say, are up on the screen. so, he can read them at the same time he hears them. that's all it is. all of his own words will be spoken from the heart. he was never a polished debater to begin with, doctor oz has had a show for 20 some years. but i think what the people of pennsylvania and now, what i've seen, being out there is that they know that john fetterman is not your typical politician, he super top'll, he's got tattoos, he came into politics starting angie d. program for kids that hadn't gott

oz tweeted out a breitbart aric or article saying john fetterman in braced spelling of braddock that shows fidelity to notorious crip gang. it goes without selling john fetterman does not show fidelity to the crips, obviously. or any game for that matter. but again, it demonstrates that they are trying to find whatever is going to work. they're very focused, republicans, and bringing down the democratic nominee with the single best chance to flip a republican held senate seat. the man on the other end of rvs, john fetterman himself, joins me next. next. so you can... astepro and go. i have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. now, there's skyrizi. ♪things are getting clearer♪ ♪i feel free to bare my skin♪ ♪yeah, that's all me♪ ♪nothing and me go hand in hand♪ ♪nothing on my skin♪ ♪that's my new plan♪ ♪nothing is everything♪ achieve clearer skin with skyrizi. 3 out of 4 people achieved 90% clearer skin at 4 months. in another study, most people had 90% clearer skin, even at 4 years. and skyrizi is just 4 doses a year, after 2 starter doses. ♪it's my moment, so i just gotta say♪ ♪nothi
