is intent to engage viewers, i use flowery language. language that was very passionate but ended up not being helpful but incendiary. it provided fodder for unscrupulous advertisers. so that clip you played, which is over two years old, and i have done hundreds of segments since then, we have specifically restricted our use of words. i literally not speaking about things that i would otherwise talk about. there is a product i never talked about in the show i feel strongly about because i know what will happen. 'll say something--- i did a show, there was a south american root that had a big study published on it. i think a very high quality study, where they showed not only did it help people lose weight, but help their health. done on women who were diabetic. done by an academic center. i used as careful language as i could. still there was internet scam ads picking one or two words. of course i support them i wouldn't be talking about them. >> listen, i'm surprised that you are defending -- i have tried to do a lot of research in prep

host of al, as the show, that i can't use words that are flowery or exalted ltatory, i feel disenfranchised. you don't want to be on a pulpit talking how passionate you are and thinking, if i use that word, it will be voted back to me. i am very respectful. i have heard the message. i have told my colleagues, i get it. >> i want to see that passionate theflowering us about beauty of a walk at sunset. >> touchÉ. tono one is telling you not use passion. passion in connection with the word miracle pill and weight loss is a recipe for disaster in this environment. in terms of people who are looking for an easy fix. sometimes getting delusional about whether or not an easy fix is going to be there for them. i appreciate everybody being there. does anybody have anything else? experience the failing that anywhere that can be taken out of context -- at the same being a addition to celebrity, you are a doctor. i believe doctors have the duty, as we believe we have, to give them the best evidence. when thing is -- things are being taken out of context, and you admitted making mistakes, you have a dut

when you hear -- regardless of the flowery nature of what the senator read to you, the fact is this will be opulent. >> it will not be opulent. >> if you have any of those waterfalls, any of that stuff, that's the kind of stuff we can't afford right now in this country. we're running a $600 billion a year deficit. the very thing you're trying to help people with in terms of fairness and consumer being treated fairly, we'll take back from them in terms of excess costs because we don't run things on a tight ship. so my point -- my point being to you is, you know, the structural renovations, 139 million. the temporary release is 22 million. the securities, utilities, other expenses for three years is 13.6 million. the cost of architectural engineering design contract was 9.2 million. that does not include the i.t., shuttle service that will run back and forth. so there's a lot of costs in this. i'm not saying what you did was wrong. i'm just saying we're buying top dollar design and construction at a time that we don't have the money to pay for it. you have an unlimited budget. as senator j

where i do think i have made it more difficult for the ftc is that an intent to engage viewers, i use flowerye, i use language that was very passionate but it ended up not being helpful but incendiary. it provided fodder for unscrupulous advertisers. >> joining me now, our senior medical correspondent, elizabeth cohen. you have been on dr. oz's show. what about the point with the ftc where they are warning listen, a lot of these big bogus claims on tv are just that, bogus. why don't they go after the products? >> you would think. the fda does that with drugs so i asked the ftc that. they said there are just too many of them. we can't go after all of them. they said there's this endless flood of these products that are making claims that just aren't true. they can go after only a small percentage. even when they do go after them, it takes so long, the legal process, to get these things off the market takes so long that the products sit there while they go through it all. >> and people buy them and they don't work. how do you know? how are you supposed to know if it's a fake or it has validity

much of the flowery words there do not reflect any particular cost. i would say that you could say the same thing about many of the staircases and outer areas around the capitol here. there is nothing special about this one with respect to other government buildings and it is not a special government building. it is a building that needs a great deal of work. i wish it didn't. i would rather not spend a penny on that. and we don't own the building. and so the notion we trying to create a palace we don't own makes any sense to me. >> we are out of time and don't want to impose upon the chairman's patience here. would you be willing to give us a thorough accounting of what has been spent and on what on this building? >> absolutely. >> thank you, mr. chairman. >> senator brown. >> thank you, mr. chairman. and welcome back. i'm always -- amused is not the right word, but when i hear a nug of colleagues especially in the house question the accountability of this -- of your work and this bureau and i know that you've appeared in front of the house and senat

he writes these long, flowery e-mails to her about how much he loves her and how much he cares for herher. and when she writes back to him, that's catnip to him. he's not going to destroy that. >> reporter: even an armchair detective would have started following the trail right to scotty harper's door. the killer had used a knife like this to stab thad reynolds 19 times that monday morning. the detectives knew that on the morning of the murder, scotty harper had gone to the e.r. of the hospital where he worked to have a cut hand stitched up. those explicit e-mails he failed to get rid of told them he was a month into an affair with the murdered man's wife. had scotty harper murdered his best friend, the husband of his lover? >> every mirror i passed i mouthed the words, you just killed thad. you killed thad. >> reporter: scotty was confessing to the mirror, but not to anyone else. >> there was nothing i could say that could take it back and there was nothing i could do to fix it. >> and what about the widow's reaction to the husband's murder? >> she wasn't shedding a tear. welcome to t

>> in an intent to engage viewers, i use flowery language. why you need to say this stuff because you know it's not true. >> wow, wow, that was democratic senator claire mccaskill last week grilling dr. mehmet oz last week on dietary supplements. >> kind of tough. >> ouch. >> senator, that's america's doctor you're yelling at there. >> dr. oz. >> it's doctor oz. what are you doing? >> you know, i did say nice things that he does on his program take complicated health topics and explain them to the american people. >> exactly. >> but science matter hees here the notion that he's calling anything a miracle pill that melts fat away and you take it and you'll be thin. >> there's a miracle pill that melts fat away? >> unfortunately not. that's the problem. >> did it to me again. >> can't believe what's out there on the store shelves. i'm glad you actually took on the issue. joe has another question. >> really quickly, news of the day. sort of our political -- >> cardinals won 8-0 over the rockies, 32-35. how do you feel about the cardinals? >> i'm
