mr. fetterman's difficulty speaking. sometimes it appeared almost cruelly faster.ow that he would get the kind of reception that he got from that, and being the son of a man who had atrial fib ra fibrillation and had a stroke i know how much work it takes to recover and i admire mr. fetterman's determination to do that but he obviously had a significant neurological injury. >> do you think like in a year from now this all will be in the rearview mirror if he does the work he needs to do? >> it is hard to know. part of the problem is that, you know, the campaign was opaque at the very beginning. they didn't really disclose the degree of his illness. we don't really know how sick he was. in fact, his treating physicians were never made available to the press or the public, so we don't really know how much mr. fetterman has actually recovered. >> matter of fact, at the debate he was asked if he would release his medical records and he basically said no. >> so he might have had a massive event, and if, you know, people who have seen him originally might now say, oh, my

mr. fetterman has actually recovered.bate he was asked if he would release his medical records and he basically said no. >> he might have had a massive event, and if people who have seen him originally might now say oh my god, he looks remarkably better. and i bet he does. but not knowing how far he has come, it is very difficult to know how far he can go. and it would be good for the people who cared for him to be made available to the press. there is no sun in having a stroke. there is a lot of honor in the don good determination it takes to recover, i admire that. what i don't admire is the way the campaign has handled its disclosure. >> you think they should have been more upfront and transparent about it? >> absolutely. >> so lieutenant governor fetterman is spending a lot of time talking about a different moment in the debate, not his struggles, but a comment that doctor oz made about when he talked about who should be behind the decision about whether or not a woman should be able to terminate a pregnancy. let's wa

mr. fetterman by 1.3% according to real clear politics it. will be interesting to see the next poll, whether or not they do it within the two week window, but the only metric we know of is the fetterman campaign said after the debate they raised $2 million, largely on dr. oz's comments about abortion. >> ainsley: he said. >> steve: goes back to abortion. >> ainsley: dr. oz says abortion should be between woman doctors and local political leaders shouldn't be up to the country, the federal government to decide. he says he supports three exceptions, rape, incest and to protect the life of the mother and he opposes lindsey graham bill which would impose that nationwide. no abortion after 15 weeks. >> steve: dr. oz was referring to state's rights and states should decide. >> brian: the way it is being spun he wants a mayor in the operating room during the time and that's not what he said. he probably clarified last night i didn't see the whole interview. meanwhile, 11 minutes after the hour. coming up. caught on camera. a woman with a pickaxe sma

mr. fetterman, are you satisfied with the progress of the bridge? >> sean: why answer questions? not fit for office. his radical alarmism would be a disaster in the senate for the great people of pennsylvania. the more people in pennsylvania learn about this guy, the less they like him. he is unelectable and would be a horrible senator. the doctor who cleared fetterman is said he is in good health is a campaign donor. he is not a doctor who treated him for a stroke. fetterman needs to be transparent and release the medical records. let's hear from the doctors that treated your stroke, john. a campaign donor doctor and joe biden saying you are capable doesn't cut it. speaking of joey, he thinks that fetterman's wife is running and not john. saying that in pittsburgh. >> john, thank you very much for running. i do appreciate it. you will be a great lady in the senate. >> sean: here with reaction the republican congressman from ohio jim jordan. it's 46-46 in pennsylvania. and blake masters is down by 1 in arizona. i like it for this reasonism hope it cretes urgency in terms of people

mr. fetterman is showing fundamental lack of faith in people's ability to put health in perspective, to fairly for office. now dr. oz is now reiterating his calls for fetterman to look release all of your health records. listen. >> this question of his health is not about me. it is about the voters. he is not allowed any legitimate questions to be answered by his team about his medical records. he has not shared them. he has delayed this debate until so late in the cycle the absentee ballots have all been mailed. probably a third of the ballots could be sent in by the time i even have the debate. what is he hiding? reporter: according "fox news" polls registered pennsylvania voters who are concerned fetterman is not healthy enough to carry out the job of senator has gone up 11 points from 23% to 34%. yet the majority, 61% of voters say they are not concerned. moments ago fetterman tweeted, actually earlier this morning that he said it is hard recovering from a stroke in public, neil. he will be much better in january and dr. oz will quote, still be a fraud. this has been a very personal and na

mr. fetterman do after having had the stroke?, of course, his campaign came out a couple of days ago and said don't expect him to do really well because this is dr. oz's department. dr. oz has been on tv for 20 seasons. is he going to be great. as it turns out. >> ainsley: and he has the experience. he is lieutenant governor. >> steve: for a term, that's right. so the big question is how recovered was he. and this morning the headlines are not positive for him e did not do well. very first words out of his mouth were evening, rather, the first thing he said when he came out was hi, good night, everybody. rather than good evening. good night. sounds like the end. sounded like a mistake. >> lawrence: take a look at that moment and flip-flopping on fracking. >> i have always supported fracking, and i always believe that independence our energy is critical. we can't be held, you know, you know, ransom to somebody like russia. >> must correct the record. >> you are saying tonight that you support fracking, that you have always support

mr. fetterman, i mentioned this in the first hour, mr. tterman came out, first things out of his mouth were good night and it was down hill from there. they were close, statistically within the margin of error of each other in the polls going into it and after that debacle for him. i think he lost the race last night because people will be shocked at how hard it was for him to answer simple, basic questions. >> ainsley: this race is so important it. could balance the power in the senate. this is what some of the articles are saying. speech and hearing problems were evident. missing words, pausing awkwardly. relied on closed captioning so he could follow the conversation. stumbled over words and some of the headlines also say the same thing. >> lawrence: philadelphia infirier john fetterman's performance center stage in the lone senate debate against mehmet oz. verbal struggles in debate with oz. politico says fetterman struggles during tv debate with oz and axios says fetterman painful debate. guys, this is just. if did you go back even be

mr. fetterman certainly punches above his weight with respect to experience. managed to get the lieutenant governor's job after being the mayor of braddock. it's a part-time gig. it's not really a career. >> reporter: do you think dr. oz is good? >> i don't know if he was the best candidate we could have chosen to represent the republican party. but he is certainly a very reasonable and good candidate. >> reporter: abby, how do you feel about dr. oz? >> i can remember being in elementary school and coming home and getting off the bus and sitting down in the living room and dr. oz would be on. i feel that he has made his money and built his oz empire off of misinformation and of shaming patients, shaming women specifically a lot. i think that there is a lot good to be said for john fetterman. he has been deep into pennsylvania communities. he has put in a lot of time for pennsylvania. >> reporter: how important do you think this upcoming election is? >> we need to take pause and see if the direction we're heading is good or bad for our country. and be willing t

mr. fetterman we have to continue on. brian: john fetterman is not well. it's crystal clear to anybody who watched that debate. or just watched that for the first time. he won't take questions from the press. and he won't release his medical records since the stroke. he's not fit for the job of senator. but his enablers are going above and beyond to cover up for him. >> john fetterman had some speech struggles due to his stroke. but his authenticity was there. >> he had some really strong comebacks. >> fetterman lost the battle last night but may have won the war. brian: the protection across the needs to stop. we can have controversial candidate, even radical candidates sometimes. but we can't have incapable candidates. and we must understand that fetterman in pennsylvania cannot do the job and it becomes increasingly clear that that neither can the guy at 1600 pennsylvania avenue. joining me a great historian in his own right. former deputy white house chief of staff karl rove. how are we back at this spot today? >> in 2020 we nominated and elected a pre

mr. fetterman after that performance. after the debate, john fetterman throughout the hour seemed to lose steam and his answers became more in coherent the longer the debate went on, unquote. that sums it up. trace. >> with that, i want to move onto the next one because the new york governor's debate was also tonight. let's put the power ranking up about that one, too. you have kathy hochul and lee zeldin. this is moving solid democrat to likely democrat. when you see new york starts to get a little red in there, it is nerve-racking for democrats because that could be the bell weather for the wave. >> absolutely, trace, we saw several polls last week that showed lee zeldin is actually leading kathy hochul. this is a state andrew cuomo won with 60% of the vote, yes. we are talking of the deepest of the blue states but with crimes becoming such an overw overwhelming issue. this is something that zeldin has hammered home and it is important to new york voters. with only two weeks to go, it is a toss up with hochul having, it

mr. fetterman said he wanted to be a senator for everyone in pennsylvania and i'm wondering if he will gor those men and women or play ball with the green liberals who seem to want to destroy everything to do with oil and gas in this country? >> cheryl: yeah, look, autoa hot topic for pennsylvania, in particular. also other states going back to what we saw with keystone thachl question is very fair, guys. if fetterman is elected, would he go down that green energy path, that would go against his statements last night and make him a complete liar and the uncomfortable moments with regard to his health, which again uncomfortable is the word here. >> carley: absolutely, it is a situation you look at how fetterman handled that and had to do with auditory issues, but he was caught flat-footed on one of it is most important issues of the debate and we are hearing home heating prices will go up, where does he stand? we don't know. when they flip-flop, a lot of times they can talk their way out of it. he didn't have answer for that, what about crime and abortion, he is untrust worthy now. >> todd

mr. fetterman or mr. oz before the public even has a chance to see them mix it up on tv.t's a very interesting point and if you hear a lot of the democrats or independentses who are noncommittal prior to yesterday, a lot of them said there is no way i could vote for john fetterman. but what if they cast their ballots prior to the debate? they already locked in john fetterman. you can't go back and that has major invocations not just for the senate race but for our country. >> carley: the fracking moment alone was really bad for john fetterman pray that should be an automatic answer no matter what. he said he didn't support fracking and now he says that he does. the major stumbled from him at a time when there is oil and gas issues, there are issues with the economy. i thought it was not a he was able to answer really tell questions on the gun-control bill that passed. he was asked if he would support it and he said, you know, there are parts of it i really do like, but i'd improve other parts on abortion. i'd never support a federal ban on anything and said if i'm senator

mr. fetterman has had, the people who were watching this debate, for the first time have to look at how he is recovering in the reaction was shock. they haven't followed us the way we do. to see him on stage having to handle this and struggle with answers. she think that will make a difference in pennsylvania. neil: it was a disaster for him. you just felt for him. by the same token there might be people watching the same thing and rallying around him. the party is rallying around it. they voted in pennsylvania and has many of those but i can't imagine him having the same numbers a week from now that he had before this debate. >> a lot of people don't watch the debates like the weirdo expand himself to me, watching multiple states. what they see are the clips, turn up in ads and campaign ads. even you didn't cringe these, in your town or state, you are going to see clips from this at each side we use the ones that work best to their advantage saving time of watching the debate so as millions of dollars of ads will air over the next 7 days. neil: i was catching lee selden and governor huchu

mr. fetterman is still recovering from the stroke he had in may. he has what is called auditory processing issues. so yes,co understand what is being asked but he doesn't match what he's seeing with what his hearing. so his doctors say he's fit to serve. no question. so it is hanging over this debate, the closed captioning but i'm told by advisers to the oz campaign, they're not going to mention this very much if at all. they're going to try to focus on those issues. so wolf, there is no doubt this race is a key piece to the puzzle for democrats trying to hold control of the senate and republicans trying to win it back two weeks from tonight. >> thank you very much. stand by. we're going to get back to you. i want to get to another high-profile political debate that is also happening tonight. cnn's athena jones is in new york covering the gubernatorial debate between kathy hochul, the governor right now. and republican congressman lee zeldin. athena, this race is more competitive than expected in the through state of new york. >> reporter: hi, wolf

mr. fetterman, we're going to begin with you. what qualifies you to be a u.s. senator?ds. >> hi! good night, everybody. >> stephen: okay. ( laughter ) admittedly a bit of an odd way to start by saying, hi, good night. but it's a very common phrase i use all the time, like when i gt to a party and hear the word "crypto. the. hi, good night. got to go. dr. oz has had his problems running for senate in pennsylvania. for one thing, he lives in new jersey. also, he came out super anti-choice in the primary, and when asked about that last night, he accidentally said what he meant. here's who oz thinks should be involved in making medical decisions for women: >> as a physician, i've been in the room when there's some difficult conversations happening. i don't want the federal government involved with that at all. i want women doctors, local political leaders... >> stephen: oh, so close! no one should have to discuss health care with their local political leaders, especially if you live in one of those really small towns where the local mayor is a dog: "making this decision was

mr. fetterman, were you satisfied with the progress of the bridge? >> we are not doing interviews.just jump in and try to underscore the insanity of what that means? this is a fetterman rally. these people are doing a fetterman rally and fetterman did not speak yesterday. can you imagine that? if i take you to arrowsmith but we are not playing tonight. you are seeing it. what do you mean? you are going to miss a thing, he's not singing. >> carley: apparently, they were five migrants living in new york city, tenant city mayor adam set up. it was built to house 500 people and cost about $325,000 to demobilize from alexandria ocasio-cortez's district, and another $325,000 to set up in randall's island. check out the the post this morning, adams as he focuses on fantasy migrant tents hurting his city. just five people. >> i don't doubt that it seems safe to adams because he spends 90% in nightclubs. >> carley: he does. >> todd: popping bottles with models come i never feel safe or as a matter of fact. but an interesting story because he sold this as what, no, a very dramatic pipit beca

mr. fetterman says, one of the first phone calls will be to the teachers unions. >> carley: that is why democratsin money from teachers unions. >> cheryl: exactly. we're seeing it in wisconsin, michigan, nevada, we are seeing them not just getting -- putting money behind candidates, these are political committees, actually democratic committees in the states in particular, spending millions. >> carley: always follow the money. >> todd: this has been happening since before we were born, you are right. my mom used to tell me, when she was a teacher before we were born, new jersey education association, if she didn't agree, she still had to pay, that was the law back in the day. >> cheryl: chris christieshg went against the teachers unions. >> carley: and new jersey possibly starting to turn pink maybe light blue. >> todd: cheryl, thank you, latest fok news power rankings show republicans gaining ground in northeast districts like carley mentioned.

mr. fetterman, it's his turn for his closing. >> laura: he kept like screaming out random thoughts. at was during oz's closing statement. so, look, whoever thought it was a good idea to put fetterman out there, not only tonight but to run for the u.s. senate? that was cruel, and it was a total fraud. >> will you pledge tonight to release those records in the interest of transparency? you have 60 seconds. >> no. to me for transparency is about showing up. i'm here today to have a debate. i have run a campaign and i have been very transparent. >> didn't hear you say you would release your full medical records. why not? you have 30 seconds. >> again, me doctor believes that i'm fit to be serving and that's what i believe is where i'm standing. >> laura: now, for all the talk of what ableism in the last few weeks as it relates to fetterman, tonight was kind of a clear example of it. >> dr. oz, you know, loves free, free money when it's half a million dollars tax break on one of his, you know, homes down on a ranch in florida. and whether it was a $50 tax break, you know, about his farm i

mr. fetterman, not as a politician, but as a human being. but as a matter of politics, he was two points down -- i sorry two points ahead into the debate, i suspected it be tied or behind in the polls that come out. kennedy: you had over 600,000 votes cast in the state. i wonder if any of them are having a little voters' remorse and what it does to the race. i'm surprised, brad, ul not get this, that dr. oz didn't look at him and say i'm a brilliant surgeon. >> someone should have, it is clear that fetterman this have dropped out and let someone else pick up the democratic mantle, i feel bad for him, i really do, he has wh health issues, he makes joe biden look articulate and sharp, that takes some doing, to see him fumble through his responses to see him the delays, him seem to glitch when asked very simple questions, his responses almost seemed canned. not in response to the questions asked. it is not ableist to point out the fact you need to have a certain level mip mmental sharpness left to be a u.s. senator. kennedy: really a good point

mr. fetterman? >> what are you talking about? >> tim ryan doesn't want you there. warnock wouldn't say. are they making a mistake? >> president biden: no, 16 i've already gone and another 20 have asked. >> clearly hitting on a sore spot. the president said he has been invited to nevada and georgia. but that the details of those trips are still being worked out. julie. >> julie: alexandria, thank you. >> bill: closing weeks and see where the candidates go. that what if map for the senate. what you see are four states in yellow. we believe these are legitimate toss-ups as of today. pennsylvania, georgia, nevada, arizona. you know what's not on that board in yellow? colorado. colorado is blue. been blue for some time. why is that? let's go back to the presidential results from just two years ago where joe biden beat donald trump by a good 15 points, 14, 15 points. so this year in the state of colorado you have a pretty good match-up right now between michael bennett has had the seat for the number of years being challenged by a businessman who never ran for public office in his life, a col

mr. fetterman is getting support from the country's top democrat.dent joe biden is expected to join him thursday at a fund-raiser. no word if former president donald trump will campaign for dr. oz. >> for oz, it depends on how he does in the next week or two. you've got that visit by biden on thursday. then the two of them debate the following tuesday. if the race is tightening, you might see oz and his team think, look, we don't need to bring in a big gun like a former president trump. if the race widens in favor of fetterman, you might see them thinking that they need to bring in someone else to remind voters what's at stake more nationally. >> election day is november 8th with early voting starting in some states on monday. >>> history is unfolding right now in beijing with xi jinping preparing to extend his iron grip well into the future. while issuing a stark warning to taiwan. live reports from beijing and taipei are just ahead. >>> plus a city in russia takes a pounding as fighting rages across the border in ukraine. the end result, an oil fa

mr. fetterman said he's suffering from auditory processing disorders, which is why he needed the closed captioning during the debate but to simply write that off saying he's fit to serve without any restrictions and needs just a little closed captioning. that is false. he had severe difficulty finding words, which as we heard earlier in the introduction that's what we call aphasia and he has difficulty there and requires aggressive rehab but there's a lot of questions to be asked from the doctor notes, how well is his heart functioning, is he still in an abnormal rhythm? i mog so and a full neural cognitive evaluation and speech, language, memory, and cognitive pathways are very complex and interlaced and we have no idea but the american people can judge for themselves after seeing the debate and comes down to transparency and seems the fetterman campaign is not being honest and transparent when it comes to the state of health of this candidate. >>sean: a yes or no question, if it were members of your family, would you intervene and try and stop them from running a campaign such as this knowing ho

mr. fetterman is showing a fundamental lack of faith in people's ability to put health into perspective and fairly decide his fitness for office. oz is reiterating his calls for forfeiterman. >> he has not allowed any legitimate questions by his team about his medical records. he delayed the debate until so late in the cycle the absentee ballots have all been mailed. a third of the ballots could be sent in before i have the debate. what is he hiding? >> registered pennsylvania voters who are concerned that fetterman is not healthy enough to carry out the job of senator has gone up 11 points from 23% to 34%. the majority, 61% of voters say they are not concerned. moments ago fetterman tweeted that it is hard recovering from a stroke in public but he will be in much better shape come january. he did say, and dr. oz will still be a fraud. so that's that. >> dana: thank you so much. bill. >> bill: our power ranksing on the senate side. republicans are solid in 49. 49 republican senators is not enough to get the majority. four toss-ups in the middle. where are they? bryan is covering a great rac

mr. fetterman's health is what people are going to be looking for.oice, he will likely win that race and shapiro is really helping him. >> bret: marc, setting the bar the tv doctor and i'm not going to have a good night. >> yeah. i mean fetterman has lowered of the bathr bar so much all he hao is put a coherent sentence together to win. oz has a tougher challenge. if you think about it, about 800,000 people in america who have strokes. that means almost everyone in pennsylvania either knows somebody a loved one, a friend or somebody who has had a stroke. he has to do the job of challenging him on his radical policies without mocking him, without seeing that making him feel to be condescending to him. >> fetterman is not doing well not because of the stroke but because of those policies. people see his crime record and that's the problem. >> bret: see how it goes. >> thanks again for having me. [laughter] >> bret: thank you. like "the five." time for "tuesday tweets," first, david glover, do you think investigators are not releasing the supreme court

mr. fetterman who by the way will be using closed captioning during the debate.ding in the real clear politics average. but there is obviously more momentum building on the side of dr. oz. and he says he knows why. >> if you had a magic wand to do anything he wanted to, his goal would be to release murderers from life in prison. releasing murderers from life in prison without asking the families what they think and oftentimes voting against the other members of the parole board even other democrats is not in line with the values of pennsylvania. yet, that's the position he has taken. >> boy, that is such an important race. and speaking of interesting and important races. how about lee zeldin reeling in kathy hochul in the real clear politics average now within six points there are polls out there that have them much closer than that races how about in the state of michigan. you see dicks dixon within the margin of error and whitmer. in their diviewb toler debate sunshine state last night. governor desantis and charlie crist. whether or not antioxidant was in it f

mr. fetterman should be releasing more of his medical records since he's asking for a six-year term here? >> well, chuck, i don't know enough about john's medical situation, but i think the contrast is very clear. i do know john fetterman. i have known him for years. and john is somebody who is going to be a real fighter for the working class of this country. he is prepared to take on the greed of corporate america. and i hope very much he joins us in the united states senate. >> in wisconsin, mandela barnes getting hit hard on the issue of crime. you've hear the phrase defund the police. he's not alone. a lot of democrats are being hit with these ads. how would you be handling these attacks? >> well, obviously it's not true, the attacks on him. i know that mandela believes very strongly that we need good law enforcement, nonracist law enforcement, and i agree with him on that. if we're going to end -- solve the terrible drug problem, we've got to get at the root causes of those problems. that means we have a better educational system, that we make sure that our young people have the dece

mr. fetterman, republicans have called you dangerously soft on crime. >> i believe that i run on my record on crime. you know, i ran to be mayor back in 2005 in order to fight gun violence and that's exactly what i did. you know, all he has done is just put a plan up on his website in the last 24 hours. >> the fraternal order of police from braddock, the small town he represented endorsed me, they supported me because what he's saying is not true. >> if you talk to oz allies and campaign officials, they will say that they really thought he was successful in painting fetterman as more extreme. of course, we noticed throughout the night as well that oz was really tacking to the center, he's really trying to appeal to those more independent moderate voters that might be persuadable in the closing weeks. they also think fracking could be a good issue with fetterman flip-flopping on that issue. one more thing, abortion rights, you haired that issue come up in that clip i just showed you, the fetterman campaign really honing in on when he said it should be between women, doctors and local offici

mr. fetterman was responded to an nbc reporter who asked questions that were essentially on the teleprompterh, that was interesting. especially when you think back to it, steve, ainsley, and brian, if you months ago he said, "i'm fine, and good." we didn't know you need electronic assistance. i think that's eye-opening for a number of folks in the commonwealth. clearly questions about his health continued to swirl as concerns over his cognition also continue to grow. this is what's happening. as you saw yesterday, he has a need for electronic assistance to speak and to understand, even as he aims to win a job in the senate where those skills are essential. but fetterman doesn't want pennsylvanians to see his medical records, despite their concerns. >> we believe we are writing the campaign that is not only rooted in transparency, but also in demonstrating that we are running a full campaign. >> i think the people who voted, who want to vote for you, want to be reassured that the doctors say you can do the job. so is there anything like that that might be forthcoming? >> i believe that, and t

mr. fetterman later in the show about fracking. joining us congressman general van drew from house homeland security and "the hill" media columnist joe concha. so good to have you on. we have news coming into the studio for both of you and the viewer, two polls move within the race, have them within the race margin of error for dr. oz against fetterman and lee zeldin against kathy hochul. now 3538 -- 538 has the senate a tossup in the midterms. what do you say to all this. >> lee zeldin is going to win. dr. oz is going to win. the numbers will get greater. a lot of people don't answer polls especially on the republican side. we know that is statistically true. it is going to get bigger and better. the truth is coming out everywhere all at once. you know real quickly i can't believe that they had fetterman actually do the debate. they should have done with fetterman as much as they possibly could pretty much what they did with joe biden. put him in a cellar somewhere, get him comfortable, out of the public's way. he is stronger when

mr. fetterman, do you propose doing that, to make it more affordable for families?st believe, making it -- it costs too much. i believe providing the resources to reduce the tuition to allow families to be able to afford it. >> for dr. mehmet oz, new questions about abortion rights. >> i have been in the room when there's difficult conversations happening. i don't want the federal government involved with that at all. i want women, doctors, local political leaders, leading the democracy that's allowed our nation to thrive to put the best ideas forward so states can decide for themselves. >> i will be joined by "meet the press" host and nbc political director chuck todd with what pennsylvania voters are telling him today. >>> reports from michigan and nevada, two other key battlegrounds in the 2022 campaign. >>> here in pittsburgh, all the talk today is about last night's big senate debate matchup. the one and only debate two weeks before the election. pennsylvania democratic senator bob casey attended last night's debate and joins me now. senator, it's great to see

mr. fetterman was asked about fracking. >> i have always supported fracking, and i always believe that independenceh our energy is critical. we can't be held ransom to somebody like russia. >> you are saying tonight that you support fracking, that you've always supported fracking. but there is that 2018 interview that you said, quote, i don't support fracking at all. so how do you square the two? >> i do support fracking, and i don't -- i support fracking, and i stand and i do support fracking. >> um, look, it's hard to watch that. so, is there anything fetterman can do to eliminate concerns that some voters may have in such a close race after a moment like that that he is not fit to serve in the senate? >> yeah, thanks for having me on as well. i think that with 13 days left to the midterm, fetterman has to be on the campaign trail every day multiple times a day. he needs to be in front of media. he needs to be in front of voters telling the case about why he is best suited to be the senator for pennsylvania. he struggled last night because he had a stroke. and we know that sometimes when people h

mr. fetterman? it's his turn for his closin tu. he kept screaming out random thoughts. hat was during ozzy's closinge. statement. so, whoever thought it was a good idea to put fetterman onl out there not only tonight, buth to run for the u.s. senate,, an that was cruel and it waspledge a total fraud. ton >> will you pledge tonight to o release those records in? the interest of transparency? rn >> you had 60 seconds, no. three for transparency is abouta showing up. i'm here today to have very a debate. i have run a campaign and i've s been very transparent. >> didn't hear you say you would release your full medical you cal records. >> why not? you have 3 you have 30 seconds. that's wha0 my doctor believes that i'm fit to be serving,re and that's what i believe is where i'm standing now. for all the talk of whats as i ableism in the last few weeks as it relates to fetterman, tonight was kind of a cleare example of it.of it. >> doctor , as you know, lovesns free, free money when it's, a half a million dollars tax o break on one of his, you know,io homes downri the ranch inb
