[applause] people sometimes ask, can you describe a stroke, what happened? i use the example, pretend i want to go to wegmans. [laughter] but, but i'm

in other words, john fetterman was a classic trustforian. in 2005, a year after arriving in braddock, fetterman announced he was running for mayor. amazingly, boldly, given that he was a professional student, living off his rich family, john fetterman decided to run as a blue collar populist. they asked no questions. they loved it. in john fetterman, the media saw themselves. he was just like them. fetterman narrowly won the race, and then the campaign to boost john fetterman's career began in einearnest. fetterman went on a national tour to brag about how he was single-handedly saving a benighted million town in western pennsylvania. he gave a ted talk, about how he was running braddock using the lessons he learned at harvard. in 2011, he went to the aspen ideas festival to further brag. here's what he said. quote, we created the first art gallery in the region with artist studios. we did public art installation. i don't know if you consider art it exactly, but i consider growing organic vegetables an art, and that's attracted homesteading.

that man's's name was john fetterman. fetterman was thirty five years old and had never in his life had a real job.job. geteran was not from braddock, hardly. he grew up ittn an affluent neighborhood four hours away. fetterman had spent his adulte life going to school, first tofc business school, then to harvard fos ofr a so-called mast of public policy, which for the uninitiated is an utterly meaningless document that you pay hundreds of thousands of dollars tndreds oo get in ora tell people that you went to harvard. >> but in this case, it wasn't expensive at all. it was free . his dad paid for c it and paidad for everything else, as the it, philadelphia inquirer put it, for a long stretch, lastingfor well into his forties, deep into middle ag stre veterans, mn source of income came from hise parents. they gave hicamem his family fifty four thousand dollars in 2015 alone. >> in other words, john fetterman was a classic trust. tafari, a flaky middle aged man looking for a purpose in life5,a and braddock, pennsylvania. he

[laughter] [applause] that my friends is the problem with john fetterman.n the policies are all on twitter and you don't actually look at the results of what you have accomplished with those policies, that would make you a bad doctor, it also makes you a bad leader. my concerns are if you go to braddock where john fetterman has been mayor, you don't see a success story. you see a town shrinking, losing business, losing jobs, not much going on that makes you confident. they need new leadership and thankfully they have some. under new leadership, their crime has dropped 60%. under our new leadership in pennsylvania, philadelphia crime has gone up 60%. you see a common theme? we have to hold people accountable for what they've done. that is what our job is. so i'm going to ask you as you have been asked by others, jim made it very clear, you have an obligation as the vanguard, the tip of this beer to call people and share what you have heard tonight. be optimistic because i'm optimistic. everything of listed we can address. all of those things i pointed out we

senate nominee mehmet oz who is trying to pressure his democratic opponent lieutenant governor john fettermanerman is refusing. dr. mehmet oz joins us tonight. thanks for being here. >> good afternoon, bret. >> bret: the pittsburgh post gazette was even more pointed than senator toomey calling for fetterman to debate you. in your opinion, is lieutenant governor fetterman medically fit to serve as a u.s. senator. >> i don't know if he is medically fit although i'm a doctor and should have an opinion on it. the fact is nobody knows. none of you was have had access to his medical records. frankly, that's his decision what records he wants to provide. i think he is insulting the voters of pennsylvania by dodging debate. is he donging their questions. is he dodging questions from the press. his campaign says he is doing fine and he said that as well. and, yet, he doesn't debate. can i only assume because he wants to avoid answering for some of the far left radical comments that he has made. but, if he is sick, then he has been lying to us as well. either way, this is really not about health, it's

but john fetterman did. and i spoke with the lieutenant governor and his wife giselle just a few hours ago, take a look. >> john and gisele, it is good to see you both. john, you and i know one another relatively well, but we haven't seen each other, we have been spoken since your stroke back in me. how are you feeling? >> yeah. i am feeling amazing actually. the truth is that i actually feel much better than i have felt in quite a while, honestly. that is the truth. i am walking four, five miles every day. and making sure that we're taking all the medication that doctors prescribed. and just actually feel fantastic. >> gisele, john has credited you with saving his life. was there ever a point over the last few months, maybe even today, where you're saying, why are you running for office? focus on your health and our family. >> no, i mean, i waited to see what the doctors thought, you. no i'm not a doctor. the doctors all said that he will make a full recovery and that he is more than fit and in shape to do t

his name, john fetterman. i have challenged john fetterman to a debate.ou are following the news on this, i'm empathetic, i understand how difficult it is when you have had a stroke. i have asked for him to find some way to answer questions. and he hasn't wanted to come forth and talk about it. i think for democracy to work you need to answer questions. right? we are going to do a little pretend debate. here is what would happen if i was talking to john fetterman. i would ask him, how do you defend wanting to release one third of all prisoners from our jails? i would ask him, why do you want to legalize all drugs? i would say, why do you want an open border and sanctuary cities? and he would probably say something like, it sounded good on twitter. i would say, look what it did to our commonwealth. in philadelphia, we have the highest murder rate ever last year. it's going to be worse this year. we have people coming across the border, human trafficking and making money for cartels and that money is being used by fentanyl. and then a man taking pictures ea

there is no john fetterman debate offer. debates have to be held at a specific time and place and host and tv station. we don't have any of the details. he threw out this head fake idea of course i'll do a debate. we'll get around to it. i have agreed to six debates. three in september. one was supposed to be today. three in october. i'll do whatever i can to serve the people of pennsylvania. john fetterman agreed to zero debates. he is dodging because he doesn't want to debate me. when i call him out for saying 1/3 of all prisoners should be released from prison and the largest number of homicides ever in philadelphia it's a problem and he says he wants to legalize all drugs and we have the largest open air drug market in philadelphia ever is a problem. he should have agreed weeks ago to these debates. the absentee ballots are going out. for 36 years in a row every time there has been a senate race there have been debates. why should it change now? >> harris: i want to get into something. i usually preface it by saying we'r

plus, john fetterman and the finance question. republican mehmet oz says his senate rival needs to release his medical records. democrat fetterman shows voters his recovery is on track. >> president biden for closing bethlehem steel. 27 years ago. and i'm the one that had a stroke. >> we begin, though, with florida bracing for hurricane ian. it's already rapidly intensifying. wind speeds have jumped 35 miles per hour in just the last day. it may turn into a category 3 or higher storm in the next 24 hours. people in the tampa area throwing sandbags as the storm churns in the caribbean. lines long to stock up on supplies, and florida governor ron desantis declaring an emergency for the entire state including activating the national guard. carlos suarez, what are you seeing. >> reporter: the first round of evacuation, a mandatory evacuations will go into effect here in hillsboro county at 2:00 this afternoon. officials with the county tell us they expect to evacuate some 300,000 people that live near the coastline out here. we're liv

. ♪ >> laura: the media are working overtime to protect pennsylvania's john fetterman and now we haveoof. yesterday, nbc news accused gop digital strategist greg price of doctoring fetterman videos. now, when they say doctoring, it was basically just clipping together a few things that fetterman actually said. >> it's such, the most important race for the senate here for 22. we have to replace pat toomey. oh, no. no. senator toomey was not very nice to me. he, pat toomey, is a miracle. he had a chance, he had a chance to match me up again, abortion is the ballot. now, in november. >> laura: oh. in addition to nbc's claim they ran immediately to tik tok and twitter to flag this and other videos for them. so the man targeted greg price joins us now a senior digital strategies at x strategies. greg, here's what nbc said about your videos. the videos includes slight edits such as cutting out the sound of the audience to make it appear as if he had abruptly stopped speaking others cut him off mid sentence to create the impression that what he was saying was nonsensical. sounds like what th

for you. >> tucker: now, that's unfair, you say, because john fetterman had a stroke this spring. rue, by the way. not that it stopped him from running for u.s. senate from pennsylvania. we do feel sorry for him. even before his current brain damage, fetterman was like this. listening to john fetterman was like hearing a car backfire, loud and jarring noises, but you couldn't be certain what they were. was that gunfire, fireworks? you didn't know. definitely wasn't human language. at the time fetterman was many years away from qualifying for social security. you cannot blame alzheimer's. even when his words were strictly speaking intelligible, when you added them together they made no sense. in march of 2021, fetterman demanded the release of all 1200 people, all of them, held in pennsylvania for second-degree murder. watch. >> a conversation that would free close to 1200 people of a legacy that never made sense, that encompasses victims' input, their cubbing and behavior in prison, and takes a look at the resources that are wasted on them. >> so even joe biden wouldn't say that. i

you can contrast that with john fetterman, still recovering from a major stroke. acemaker implanted. by the way, as lieutenant governor of pennsylvania, fetterman has two jobs providing over the state senate and tearing the state pardon board. fetterman has never missed a meeting of the pardon board despite missing full third of state senate sessions. in fact, fetterman has voted 44 times to commute the life sentence of a prisoner under pennsylvania law means they will likely either a murderer or a child rapist. i guess freeing violent criminals as part of his passion. i don't know. here now, dr. oz. he wants safe shooting zones for her drugs, decriminalization of hard drugs. no exceptions at all on abo abortion. abortion up to an hour before giving birth. this is a guy who's never had a job in his life. he likes to look like, you know, hardworking guy with his hoodie and his tattoos. i'm looking at this race, he's having a very hard time cognitively. you released your records. he doesn't want to release his records. you want a debate. he wants to debate a week bef

john fetterman's treatments have have been catastrophic. >> dr. s going after fetterman's liberal climate policy. john fetterman would support the green new deal which would destroy pennsylvania energy jobs, i believe we must utilize our resources here in the u.s. which would provide good-paying american jobs much needed relief on gas and electric bills. as for fetterman he's focusing more on abortion with dr. as being pro-life candidate. at rally yesterday fetterman called dr. oz a clown and says the celebrity doctor is not relatable to the people of pennsylvania. >> if you own at least one of your mansions, valued at $48 million, $48 million, do you think he can relate to the life that you live here in scranton? do you think he would understand the struggles that you have? of course, not. >> mike, we know the two will debate on october 25th, two weeks before election day but the conditions for that debate are still being worked out. dr. oz is allowing fetterman to use closed captioning during the debate because of lingering auditory processing is

here is the story from new york. >> brian: good morning, john fetterman says he will go to washington and fight for public schools to receive more funding. according to the washington free beacon, john fetterman failed to pay $18,000 in property taxes between 2006 to 2019, money that would have gone to funding his local school district, which is one of the poorest and lowest performing in the state. woodland hills placed three dozen tax liens against fetterman during that stretch and he was sued twice. he paid off the liens issue but it took six years. in 2016, john fetterman says some taxes were not paid because of clerical errors, here is his opponent mehmet oz. >> he's got properties he didn't pay taxes on, foundations, they didn't file on. he said it slipped through the cracks, what are you talking about? you are not above the law? fetterman has received endorsement of schools and fetterman is pro-student loan forgiveness and dr. oz says loan forgiveness is unfair. the pittsburgh gazette is call og fetterman and dr. oz to release full medical records as questions continue about fe

mehmet oz's team says big news, john fetterman will debate at a secret debate, we don't know when or ret. tucker karlson says democrats want to brush aside serious concerns about fetterman's campaign. >> completely out of bounds to mention the fact john fetterman is incapable of representing pennsylvania in the united states senate. that fact and it is fact, is fine with the people who run the democratic party. they want the power. we should be worried, if they can get this guy elected in the nation's fifth largest state, with stupid and destructive ideas, man with no record of achievement, long list of documented failures and cannot think clearly, if they can do that, they can do literally anything. >> ashley: election day just two months away and new polling out of florida shows republicans ahead of democrats on ballot by two points, 48% to 46%. luna is air force veteran running for congress in florida and joins me to discuss. thanks for being with us this morning. >> ink thats for having me on, ashley. >> ashley: 20% of florida voters say inflation is most important concern, and 12

take a look at this clip from john fetterman's new ad. >> i first met john fetterman when my son goto trouble. john took him under his wing. he helped him get his g.e.d. >> john fetterman helped change my life. he changed harrisburg. and now he's going to change washington. >> show me what you have done, not what you say, and john fetterman has done it. >> the ad starts with a clip of oz, dr. oz, saying what has fetterman ever done or what have politicians ever done for you. your fellow conservative, jonah goldberg, says he thinks it's an effective ad. what do you think? >> i think it is an effective ad, but i think this is going to remain a tight race. it's been showing some signs of tightening further. >> absolutely. >> recently. what's interesting, though, is oz is having trouble solidifying the republican vote in that state. he's doing fine in the polls i are seen with independents, but there seems to be some leftover unhappiness from a pretty bitter republican primary. the question is, does that in the end mean they come home and he does better than he's doing in the current pol

if i have to be in a foxhole i want john fetterman in there with me. so i want john in there with me. i mean that sincerely. look, there's a whole lot of folks here. i don't want to keep you le standing much longer. number one, the you know, i started my campaign because, jumped in and convinced me, he made the case i should run. that trainride i was campaigning for democrats, i was out of office campaigning for democrats but you know, this is not your father's republican party. this is a totally different party. these guys are different. i worked with a lot of conservative republicans. got a lot done and it was always something decent about the work but then we into this place where all of a sudden the reason it made me run i eldecided it was when you saw those people come out of the fields down in virginia carrying torches, literally coming out of the fields carrying torches with swastikas, can't be the same man and chanted literally the same the same antistatic bile chanted in germany in the 30s . the guy that i beat in the last election and when ask

earlier today, i sat down with john fetterman to ask how his campaign is going. >> john, thank you so much for being with us tonight. and let me just first start with how you're feeling, and if you could tell us how this whole recovery process has been for you, he mean we haven't thought about the incredible drive in the last few months but also the difficulties i'm sure we don't even know about. >> so it is so wonderful being with you today. and the recovery has been really kind of like a miracle, because it's simply could have ended my life with a stroke but thankfully i happen to be the in the right place and have it at the right time and it got me to the hospital in about 20 minutes and that allowed them to save my life. and since then i've been making a recovery that has now left me able to run the kinds of campaign, to do rallies, do interviews and be evaluated by doctors and everyone, who all agree that i'm absolutely up to run this race. and right now, dr. oz has really, he is making a very, very big fit, making fun of or mocking somebody, with a health care challenge, and at

john fetterman doesn't want to talk about those topics. >> raymond: as you mentioned, fetterman sayss high time to legalize marijuana. listen. >> the war on drugs needs to stop and we need to legalize weed across this country. add in the revenue, then you add in the jobs for our farmers, our veterans, the freedom of it. this idea that we have allowed a plant to be illegal and criminalized in this country is absurd. >> raymond: fetterman is marching in a labor day parade with joe biden and asking him to legalize marijuana before he arrives. fetterman's also launching a large-scale pardoning project for people with nonviolent marijuana criminal convictions in pennsylvania. dr. oz, first, what's your reaction to this legalization in this pardoning project? why is the only marching with joe biden do you think? >> didn't joined biden for the two other events he had an pencil menu. my issue is he wants to legalize all drugs. he supports heroin injection sites. we have the largest open-air drug market here in philadelphia. it's destroying the city. he's out of touch with what's going on in

john fetterman pushing back, wash. >> i'm sick of oz talking about john fetterman. john gave a second chance to those who deserve it. >> griff: john fetterman tweeting a statement, saying my heart hurts, we are devastated for the victims, the families now experiencing horrific pain. oz has not commented on the shooting. police say no arrests have been made and no suspects identified yesterday. >> carley: 400 homicides in a single year in philadelphia. thank you. turning to this, president biden $400 student loan bail out fan facing a lawsuit. pacific filing in indiana arguing it is illegal for the executive branch to create a $500 billion program by press release and without statutory authority or basic notice and comment procedure for new regulation. the president's plan would wipe $10,000 in student debt from millions of lenders. the tax funding will leave some borrowers worse off than before. >> todd: janet yellen coulding leaving, depending on outcome of the midterm, the senate need to confirm the party nomination if she chooses to leave, that decision could be o

what is john fetterman never said about that? does he agre fe with that?etter? is that criminal he thinks should be let go ? so on crime, education, inflation, education, the four top issues, john fenner is out of sync with pennsylvania, including its women, and then on abortion. and january six , and he wakesl. up every day in his calendar, says january six . arose issues are far down the line in terms ofr importance. but even on the issue ofdo abortionwn, most pro-choicero-co people across pennsylvania do not agree with johicn. veterans, abortion, anyone, any time, anywhere, a selection, ao taxpayer fundertiod ninth month because you changed your mind at the last minuteyour. this is not what people mean when they call themselves pro-choice. i want po wakesylvania t up and see that this manan is very dangerous. and i think the choice is very clear . they've got to go for dr. ozz w who's actually got finnerman on the run. >> all right, kellyanne, thank r you for that. on last point on this, he won'tt debate dr. oz. >> he's not goinozg to debate hm until the end o

all these extreme positions and john fetterman has campaigned a whopping 20 minutes in total since therimary. this is the it. voting begins in ten days and how do people in the commonwealth of pennsylvania vote when the guy hasn't answered one question on all of these radical positions. >> well, thanks, sean. first of all, it's total arrogance on the part of fetterman. he thinks he doesn't have to show up or answer questions. but this, if this guy gets elected, this should send a chill up every person's spine, not just in pennsylvania but across the country. the idea that he wants to go and take away law enforcement's ability to defend themselves or defend communities, this is a guy who said sanctuary cities make us all safer not less safer. this is a guy that wants to take away life sentences for murders and release a third of prisoners and i'll tell you, dr. oz and i did a couple of different events, the energy for him is great because they're so scared of what fetterman will do but we need everybody in the country to pay attention to this pennsylvania race. this guy makes the left l

boris. >> thank you very much. >>> and to philadelphia now where democratic senate nominee john fetterman has committed to debate his republican opponent dr. oz on october 25th. that's less than two weeks before election day. fetterman says he is running a perfectly normal campaign, but he is facing lingering questions about his health after you may recall he suffered a major stroke in may. let's take you there now with cnn national political reporter dan mayor ka in philadelphia. what are we expecting to hear? >> reporter: it's been traditional fare from the democratic nominee since he suffered that stroke in may, took two months off and has re-emerging the last few weeks to months. get back on the campaign trail, doing events. those events have been relatively short speeches, focused on attacking oz and applause lines. they haven't been sweeping policy indictments of him, more focused on oz than other things. this is pretty friendly territory for fetterman. philadelphia county, joe biden won with 81% of the vote in 2020, the most lopsided county in the commonwealth for democrats. if you

and let's be clear, doctor oz did not cause john fetterman's campaign to be evasive about this. not cause fetterman's campaign to say he cannot do the debates. they did not cause fetterman's campaign to say his health issues were a bump in the road, and then for fetterman to say he almost died. the vision here in the mystery here is coming out of fetterman 's own campaign. these are questions, you don't have to flip about it, you don't have to be mean, but if you are pennsylvania voter you do have to ask the basic question, can you execute the job duties of u.s. senators? because right now it does not seem like fetterman can execute the job capabilities of a candidate. so i think it's fair game. >> let's pause, i can see wanting to get in. let me just say this, though. because it's not just oz into me talk about this. it's -- conservative editorial board published an op-ed today about his condition, writing in part, and i quote here, mr. fetterman is not well enough to debate his opponent. that raises serious concerns about his ability to serve as a united states senator. fetter

his name is john fetterman. i have challenged mr.an to a debate and you've been following the news on this. i met doctor and i understand how difficult it is when you've hadd a stroke. to work with us to find out some way for him to answer questions. he hasn't come forward and wanting to talk about it. for democracy to work you have to answer questions. so we are going to do a little pretend debate. here's what would happen if i was talking to john fetterman. i'd ask him how do you defend one third of our prisoners released from our jails. i would ask him why do you want to legalize all drugs? i would say what you want an? open border in sanctuary cities? and he would probably sayct something likeg it sounded good on twitter. i would say look what it did to our commonwealth. in philadelphia we have the highest murder. ever last year and it's going to be this year. we have got people coming across the border human trafficking making money for cartels and that money is being used to buy fentanyl. when i was taking pictures earlier a ma

and john, if i have to be in a fox hole, i want john fetterman in there with me. i tell you what. folks here. i don't want to keep you sanding much longer. let me just say a couple things. number one, you know, i started my campaign because tom jumped in and convinced me -- he didn't convince me. he made the case i should run. that train run, i wasn't running. i was campaigning for democrats. i was out of office. i was campaigning for democrats. but you know what? this is not your father's republican party. this is a totally different party, man. these guys are different. i've worked with a lot of republicans, conservative republicans i work with, got a lot done. but it was always something decent about the work. but then we moved to this place where all of a sudden, the reason that made me run, i decided, when you saw those people coming out of the fields down in virginia carrying torches -- literally coming out of the fields carrying torches with swastikas, chanting the saim anti-semitic bile that was chanted in germany in the '30s accompanied by the ku klux klan. and the guy th

tonight, i spoke with pennsylvania democratic candidate for senate john fetterman,

what john fetterman has to be the worst senate candidate that i have ever come across. heart transplant, dana? he said something the other day, he said the eagles are so much better than the eagles. i might even agree with that, but that is very, very confusing. he lives with his parents. he doesn't pay taxes. he has tattoos. he is so weak, he would be eaten alive by chinese spies if he ever went to washington, d.c. you could dangle raw meat in front of fetterman i just go like this to get him a hotel room and just have your way with him. the guy is in no shape to be a u.s. senator. purely chases blacks around with shotguns, he wants to ban natural gas and oil and the internal combustion engine. this guy is nuts! he wears gym clothes to work, does not own a suit, dresses nicer -- probably worse than bernie sanders. there is no way he could cut it in the u.s. senate. >> dana: worse than bernie sanders? >> greg: well -- >> jesse: where do you go with that? >> dana: i >> greg: i think towhat harold k he has changed, you painted hime moderate than the judge. i think he has

that's polar opposite in what we are seeing with john fetterman. he's a bernie bro.e's not a moderate democrat in any way. oz will be able to unite the conservatives and bring along the independents because his agenda is a common sense agenda for pennsylvania. brian: governor, you were probably serving as the same time as governor pataki. and governor pataki said it will be generations before another republican is elected in new york. but not so fast. it looks like lee zeldin is making i roads. hochul told conservatives why don't you pick up and go to florida. is that a good tactic? >> it's a terrible tactic. i think governor hochul said that she was wrong. the thing that's great about this country is we used to be able to argue and fight. you look at the past, there were fights and name calling. but we always pulled together when it counted. i'm worried now that we might not pull together when it counts. brian: mercedes is it time for the rnc to get behind lee zeldin? >> i have seen that where the rnc has pulled back and not given money in these competitive races. d

john fetterman is a progressive, a former bernie sanders supporter. biden said there's no one he would rather be in a foxhole with than john fetterman. certainly his stature is part of that, 6'7". they believe democrats can win and hold the senate majority should they win that seat. so, all eyes are on john fetterman, and certainly they're relieved he's back out campaigning. >> he's pretty scrappy, jeff. i think that's what they were referring to. why do democrats think they might be able to defy the normal odds in the midterm election? >> well, look part of it it is just the fact that the accomplishments the biden administration has been able to achieve over the last few weeks, as well as flags is moderating. flooes it seems that way. democrats believe they have a bit of wind at their back. it's also what you and van were talking about earlier. it is the fact that donald trump has returned front and cent tore the political arena. he is back on stage now. so, the white house and president biden believe that this creates an opening and an opportunity f
