senator john fetterman. [cheering] [applause] >> the excitement around this event has been so inspiring to all of us working on the campaigns. i first started working on campaigns in 2020 in yurie county and the thing that keeps me going is how passionate the county is for our democratic candidates. a quick story about that, last thursday i got to work opened up my laptop went into my morning meeting and my boss said good news, john fetterman is coming to erie and we need you to get 40 volunteers in one week. i started making phone calls and everyone on the phone was over the moon excited for this candidate. the reason is we all know how important this election is. from reproductive rights to voting rights. [cheering] nathan: the result of this election will impact so many aspects of this community. whether that change is positive or not relies on us. the important thing is we do not have to do this alone. when i first started working on campus, i was a really shy and introverted kid. but two years later, i

oz is a john fetterman. john fetterman who endorsed bernie sanders. john fetterman who refused to come out and support israel, as israel was under attack. john fetterman, who stands for and will work with everything that the squad cares about, he will be the squad in the senate. we have to do everything in our power to make sure that he does not get into the senate, that dr. oz wins in november and we have a republican majority in the senate and house of representatives in november. [applause] there is no more important race in this country for us then right here in pennsylvania. the senate races going to be our top priority we're going to be involved in the important races in florida and ohio and nevada and north carolina and other states. but this is where we are taking a stand. because we cannot have john fetterman in the united states senate. before i turn the program over to get us started, i want to take one second to thank all of you for being here but also to thank the incredible our jc staff some of whom have come up from our d.c. office some

now, john fetterman clearly is struggling in all sincerity. i hope he gets fuggl well, but obviously he's not fit to t sere the people of pennsylvania. but far more disturbing are his insane positions on a number of key issues and has always been hidden by the mainstream media mob. here'sy main letterman's positi. on oil and gas. take a look at this, especially how important this is to pennsylvania, something that has to eventuallyia go away. and i would like to see it transition out. and now you y have a president w who's building that back and making decisive actions like canceling the keystone pipeline, which some people don't support. and i think you made the right call. all right, mr. honey, no fracking, no pipelines, no oil, no gas. that is an 80 billion dollar industry in the commonwealth of pennsylvania with thousands ofjo high paying career jobs in the energy sector. i know you are used to notot working. most people in pennsylvania worked hard. and john fetterman wants to put all these people out of work w and out of business that wou

by the way, john fetterman also wants to make heroin legal and accessible. take a look. >> wait a second. what are you talking about? you want to legalize heroin. why are you talking? why do you care about these things. it's important that we as society have the options on the table, including needle exchange which is only technically legal in philadelphia and pittsburgh. even safe injection sites being considered like in philadelphia. >> sean: john fetterman doesn't seem to understand the ramifications of much of anything. maybe that's because he was handed everything in life on a silver platter. naturally he feels a special bond with multimillionaire socialists, his comrade in arms, bernie sanders. take a look. >> that's my am proud to andras bernie sanders today. bernie sanders and i agree that a lot of other issues that are critical to this country's future. whether it's immigration, whether it's marijuana legalization, whether it's universal pre-k or affordability college education. we stand together as the most progressive candidates in our respective

we can't afford john fetterman. >> dana: we invite john fetterman to come on the show as well. let you get back to the campaign trail. it is a big state. thanks. >> trace: mourners around the world paying respects to the memory of princess diana who died 25 years ago today in a paris car crash. along with the mourning is another royal rift. meghan markle making waves once again. martha maccallum is here to discuss it all next. es up—no mar what life throws his way. high cholesterol. heart disease. 17 fad diets... 5 kids... 3 grandkids... 1 heart attack. and 18 passwords that seem to change daily. with leqvio, john can lower his cholesterol— and so can you. when taken with a statin, leqvio is proven to lower bad cholesterol by over 50% and keep it low with two doses a year. common side effects of leqvio were injection site reaction, joint pain, urinary tract infection, diarrhea, chest cold, pain in legs or arms, and shortness of breath. with leqvio, lowering cholesterol becomes just one more thing life throws your way. ask your doctor if leqvio is right for you. lower. longe

sean: you said the perfect nickname for john fetterman should be uncle fester. sean: do you call him that? >> yes, of course. [laughter] sean: watch laura every night at 10:00 p.m. laura: hello, this is "the ingraham angle" from washington tonight. once again, some joe biden of administration officials are leaking evidence after business hours. and phrases like a person familiar with the investigation, describing the biden administration back and forth and the trumpet administration. these leaks are drip, drip, drip tactics that they used in the russia situation. they insisted that secrecy is the most important thing. but now we have it leaking to the post, "the new york times," and back to backdate. and with democrats and prominent republicans, and you know who you are, meaning that it is outrageous for them to criticize the fbi or the doj. that we should criticize the leadership of both of them just because. in the time for blind references over and first, faking it and not making it. that is our first angle. we had huge reaction last night on the obvious effo

sean: you said the perfect nickname for john fetterman should be uncle

john fetterman got snookie to campaign for him. his campaign has been one of memes and meme tweets, which are very clever, it's been very effective but i don't buy that you're the tough guy who answers all the tough questions but won't go because this isn't being taken seriously enough. come on. >> both parties, i think, believe the senate majority runs through pennsylvania. this is not like a throw away fringe race, both parties are all in on pennsylvania and to deprive the people of pennsylvania the serious campaign, which is what i think fetterman is doing right now, is astounding. they can't have a debate with dr. oz right now otherwise they would be having one because they do believe they have an advantage. they think fetterman is in good shape on his image and think oz is upside down. it might be of some value to have that debate. they think they are on offense on issues. this he can't do it at the moment. i understand the tactical imperative, but his health and ability to execute the job duties of senator it's absolutely som

good idea, john fetterman. he's implicated in the destruction of the state that he's still a lieutenant governor of. and he's obviously impaired. that's not an attack on him. it's just true. watch him. so you'd think there would be way a guy like that could win a senate seat. here's the sad news, however, john fetterman is winning overwhelming. he currently has a double-digit lead over his republican opponent mehmet oz, dr. oz. the national senatorial spending committee, just cut money, a retreat, happening in a state the republicans ought to be winning. what's going on here and why is no one mentioning it? a couple things are going on. first let's hear from mitch mcconnell, the head republican in the senate. he's not there because people love him. he's loved by no one. he's considered smart, considered a master tactician. in washington, people are very much afraid of mitch mcconnell. cross him, he will hurt you. they listen carefully to his political analysis, because that's what he spends his life doing. that

john fetterman has argued we should release one third of all prisoners in pennsylvania. he's bragged about all the murders that he has pardoned. yet philadelphia has gotaw the highest murder rate ever and that's up 60% since he's been in office. in addition, he wants to legalize all drugs, including crack. these heroin injection sites. we've got the largest open air drug market in kensington, in philadelphia, in the country. and then he one sanctuary n not open border and he doesn't understand that brings fentanyl into our communities in pennsylvania has been hit harshly. top five in the country, fentanyl. ountry that's why when the fraternal order of police endorsed me recently, it was unanimous a. they were so angry. experiment.. here's the catch the coast, california, new york . n they arey pouring money intoey their campaigns. they justt want to get the fifty for a seat. they don't understand how dangerous he is , d how radical he is . and i argue guys come out. dr. oz .com is my site.up come support me. make sure we can arm up and defend ourselves and also define wh

i want to play something that john fetterman has said about the voter i.d. situation. >> because they understand that at any given time there is tens of thousands of pennsylvanians who typically, typically are on the -- are on the poorer side and are people of color that are less likely to have their i.d. at any one given time. >> shannon: just this idea of voter i.d. being part of the ultra maga or the quote semi-fascist policies that the right has. where does this settle now for the democrats? >> well, it's just -- it's kind of a political and philosophical debate between the two parties about how -- how much support there should be and how many -- how many people should be able to vote. i think there is an impression that democrats are for getting more and more people to vote, which is democratic and there is an impression that republicans are less for that and more in favor of restrictions. now, there will be a debate as to whether or not an i.d. is a legitimate restriction or legitimate requirement. i think what this senator candidate is saying is that

there are legitimate questions about john fetterman's health. many people believe he's understated the severity of his situation. there's been a lack of transparency, and being a u.s. congressman or senator is a very physically demanding job. and you know, he's not agreed to any debates that i'm aware of so far. so there's legitimate concern about his health, but you shouldn't mock the condition or how he got there. >> kasie, you were there, we saw fetterman's last event before he had the stroke, and again, just to underline this, nobody is making fun of it. we all hope him a complete and quick recovery, et cetera. but you were there, and you see a difference. >> yeah, i think there's a very distinct difference. this is a candidate who prided himself on the way he interacted with voters. he was a very easy conversationalist speaker, i did an interview with him, he talked to other reporters there. he's not doing that anymore on the campaign trail. as is always the case with cand candidates' health, the question is are you capable of serving the p

pennsylvania democratic senate candidate john fetterman with a new ad titled blame washington that's just one of more than a dozen similar ads that fox has counted for democrats across the country. all hitting their own party over its wild spending spree. >> washington's fault. they set the rules, weakened our supply chain and spiked inflation. >> my party got it wrong on the trade deals that sent your jobs overseas. >> i worked with republicans. >> picking on my own party to support maine families. i was the only democrat to vote against, because i knew it would make inflation worse. >> i pushed to cut the gas tax and high more police officers. >> joe biden is letting ohio's solar manufacturers be undercut by china. marcy captor is fighting back working with republican rob portman protecting our job. she doesn't work for joe biden, she works for you. >> dagen: a growing list of democrats seem less than thrilled about a second term for the president. charlie hurt, fox news contributor. desirae timms. marcy captor from your own state is the second most tenured woman in congressional h

they are not giving john fetterman an edge for the first time in this election cycle. let's bring back our saturday night panel. errin, your thoughts on mehmet oz forgetting that he owns a property's. he said to, it turns out he has a stake in ten. >> yeah, as somebody who owns neither ten homes nor ten properties, i think i would probably remember if that were the case for me. look, you do have john fetterman currently leading pulling in the race, but we still have 80 days to go until election day. anything can happen. i just want to point out. honestly, how is the discovery of things like doctor oz is ten homes or his clear and ability to grocery shop when the prices right and august. he will play with voters 80 days from now. obviously, fetterman has been able to bring money off of this -- amicus, here you are running all the homes, i can't. [laughs] but are we going to continue to see these kinds of unforced errors from the campaign? what are voters going to say? that is the ultimate measure of this? not just whether or not this will be a punchline on the campaign

know, potentially a positive for john fetterman. he had an ad on twitter earlier today him in front of a crowd saying who here had a health issue, health challenge? people raised their hand. there is something dr. oz, this is politics, could have used to his advantage that has really because he has been non-empathetic is potentially problematic for him. >> just to add to that, there has been recent polling that shows most voters overwhelmingly don't really care about fett fetterman's stroke. the issue they do care about is dr. oz' long term residence in new jersey is an issue that matter. as long as this discussion about debates and his stroke might not actually matter to voters in pennsylvania. >> so if you watch the campaign, you're waiting to see if there will be debates and fetterman has a more active campaign schedule. so this like many campaigns plays out on tv. let's start here. here say republican ad saying john fetterman soft on crime. >> fetterman is saying he's trying to get as many criminals out of jail as he can. he's t

but now he's trying to turn the tables, releasing a statement tuesday that said, if john fetterman had ever eaten a vegetable in his life, then maybe he wouldn't have had a major stroke. fetter man responding, i know politics could be challenging but i never -- down playing concerns over his health. >> i think he's back fairly quick from it, to be honest with you. >> i think if it was a bigger issue than what it is, he would absolutely be more open about it. >> reporter: a key question now is when are we going to see these candidates debate? oz really making this a central issue. fetterman's campaign telling me that fetterman is ready to debate oz but has not committed to a date as yet. anderson? >> appreciate it. thank you. >>> still to come, take a listen. what is this noise? it was discovered deep in space. details next. ♪ ♪ the thing that's different about a vrbo vacation home. you always have the whole place to yourself. no stranger at the dinner table makingng things awkward. or in another room taking up space. it's just you and your people. because why would you ever share y

let's start here with what we're just getting in that john fetterman will not attend a planned debate there. his campaign cited his recovery from this stroke. how does that inability to debate dr. oz play into this narrative that oz has created that he's just not physically up to the job? >> good evening, victor. now i know how it feels to live in iowa or new hampshire with all this attention being heaped on pennsylvania as we approach labor day weekend, which you know is the traditional beginning of the fall campaign. the answer to your question is that from the oz perspective, this is a very sensitive issue, and they've got to tread very lightly. there was an oz spokesperson who i think took a cheap shot at fetterman over his health in a vegetable reference. by the same token, i think it's fair to wonder whether fetterman is 100% or whether he's going to make a full recovery from that stroke that he had three months ago. he's really been shielded from the media thus far. one of the interviews that he did was with closed captioning. he's done two public events. he spoke for about ten

caller: no question, john fetterman. the earlier caller, a gentleman from georgia, he was absently right. stockton is not a politician. he's an elite. he's a snake oil salesman. anyone who's ever seen him -- he is a snake oil salesman. i don't want him anywhere near government control. also, commercials are really offensive. who has ever done anything bremer except the democrats? people have approached me during election time, and i say i cannot vote for you. but maybe i could. can you tell me one thing that republicans have done for the working class in this country, i might go free. they sputter and they cannot come up with anything. host: why do you consider yourself an independent? caller: i have some misgivings about the democrats, as well. they don't hit hard enough or tout their achievements. what i think they should do is emphasize what the republicans won't go along with. there are so many bills on voted on because they don't bring them up. so republicans are once again tied with their hands. when obama was elec

our lieutenant governor john fetterman. john fetterman will win this race in honorably served pennsylvania. >> okay, there you have it. pennsylvania congress -- who honorably serves that state. thank you so much, appreciate you. coming up next, the irs is the newest target of the conspiracy driving -- republicans trying to scare americans overall. and some of the gop claims are tricking some potentially dangerous to irs workers. at that list of americans being threatened by a certain angry populist. let's see the targets include members of congress, election workers, fbi, judges, school board members, teachers, health care officials and providers. have we locked anyone out? e locked anyone out? (woman) oh. oh! hi there. you're jonathan, right? the 995 plan! yes, from colonial penn. your 995 plan fits my budget just right. excuse me? aren't you jonathan from tv, that 995 plan? yes, from colonial penn. i love your lifetime rate lock. that's what sold me. she thinks you're jonathan, with the 995 plan. -are you? -yes, from colo

we have consistent polling with john fetterman winning outside of the margins. the national republican senatorial committee cuts a lot of at money there but senate leadership funds, which is a super pac has come there with well over $12 million. the ads coming up will hit him. you have to be relatable as a candidate. this is the problem oz had even though -- before the video that was stoned of the mailing. --melee. how much of the distance of you those two bottles -- eat those --ethos --oz struggling to do that and even though john federman, he does not look like a typical politician. host: what about the role of former president trump and boozing dr. oz? guest: there is a question of trump endorsing candidates and letting them right. he has plenty of money and talking to a lot of people, that is why they think republican funding has gone down. he can just -- you cannot just take the wind -- what really matters is if they win the general election or not and that is key. host: more races to get into but we will take a call from bill in richmond, virginia. caller:

oz being rich, the more that john fetterman is winning. if we are talking about crime or inflation or socialism, dr. oz is winning. so far, a we are in the crudites metaphor, that's where we are. host: an john fetterman, what do you think he's doing right? guest: i think he is authentic. he has done a great job of being able to satiate the left while not running headlong into areas that would turn off the very purple electorate of pennsylvania. he is able to lean forward on his union vibe in a way that seems like a winner as of now. i still do think for oz, he can define him as more leftward leaning, but he hasn't. host: john robert young, the host of "politics, politics, politics, joining us -- politics," joining us on our spotlight on podcast segment. caller: good morning. one thing that is sticking in my mind is afghanistan. it sickens me, the way we moved out of afghanistan, and what the law seems to be in our country going down to the pitch. i wonder -- i know that we as african-americans vote one side, and i know that whites will con

john fetterman is against it to rise against it. rafael warnock's against it. they're all against it.ll aif you want to invest in education, let's not let it into these kids who have been suffering under biden's policies for two years screentime a school time. if f he really cared about funding education, he would y make sure these kids with the loss learning atou mental health and emotional lack of growthen as they're telling adults ing their lives he would be doing that there instead of trying to buy votes for doctors, lawyers and nba holders who are in their forties somehow getting student loan forgiveness. i nows it's outrageous. help our kids. they need it. right. and by the way, the people that paid their student loans, the people that pay t their mortgages every month, it's their money that's going g to go to other people for free . right. your reaction, all of that. but more than that, this phenomenon, democrats now are trying in their ads and on the stump to sound like they are conservative and they don't want joe biden to campaign for t. whydo would t

it's now a viral video thanks to merciless campaign john fetterman. the campaign says it raised over $500,000 in 24 hours thanks to the crisis. >> we call this a veggie tray. >> fetterman released new stickers reading wagners let them eat cute at a. here, fetterman placed 10 homes on a monopoly board space. dr. oz admits he owns 10 properties but says he legitimately owns two homes. according to fox news polls, dr. oz is trailing fetterman by double digits and seen unfavorably by 55% of pennsylvania's registered voters. dr. oz insists there is plenty of time left and is attacking fetterman from being absent from the campaign trail. >> he has taken a page out of joe biden's playbook. is he staying at home. he is letting the media and his advertising do his dirty work. >> fetterman suffered a stroke three months ago. he held his first rally last week and is working with a speech therapist. >> you can count on us to eliminate the filibuster. >> dr. oz is not the only one struggling. herschel walker in georgia and blake masters in georgia. both are pollin

one person missing wcandidate john fetterman. it makes more sense that fetterman was not there. >> president biden: think about doing me a favor, please, please elect the attorney general of the senate, that big old boy to be governor. >> jason: that big old boy he's talking about, fetterman, he's running for the united states senate, i can only imagine the white house staffer that says sir, he is running for senate, not governor. joining me is national political reporter for the washington examiner, to hear democrats talk about it, the answer near democrats is more cowbell, bring in more joe, more joe talking more often. there is reason the democrats running on the ballot this year don't want to be seen with him, right? >> right, absolutely. one big challenge is party in power faces in mid-term election is putting the president out there in 2010. barack obama was popular, however, his policies were not and we saw what happened in that election, the republicans won 63 house seats. biden is not personally popular nor are his polic

fetterman, who recently returned to the campaign trail. the new controversy came shortly after us faced intense backlash over a video involving cruditÉs's that one viral for all the wrong reasons. it is also raising serious questions about that ermineskin. cnn national politics reporter eva mckend has the story. >> from erie, to pittsburgh -- >> steel workers -- >> pennsylvania democratic senator candidate john fetterman back on the campaign trail more than three months after suffering a stroke. >> if i am your next senator to washington d. c., guess what, you will still have a senator that will be living across the street from your steel plant. >> rally members of the united steel workers tuesday, fetterman was on message but often halting in his speech and occasionally dropped wordsmiths ants. >> being anti union is anti-american. what is wrong for demanding four an easy, safe kind their income, a path to a safe place for them to win. excuse me, to work. >> fetterman declined to answer questions from cnn and other reporters at the event

democratic candidate for senate, john fetterman, returned to the campaign trail friday in erie to a packed crowd just three months after suffering a stroke. though he has not been visible in the state for weeks, it has not dulled his momentum at all. he thanks his supporters and his wife, gisele. >> three months ago my life could have ended. it's the truth. but i'm so grateful to be here tonight as well. i was on my way to another event and gisele recognized i'm having a stroke. and let me just tell you right now in front of everyone, gisele saved my life. >> reporter: fetterman's return to the campaign trail marks a significant development in this race between fetterman and dr. mehmet oz. oz already inviting fetterman to participate in five debates. something fetterman often says is he will visit every county for every vote. that's something he reiterated on friday. >> thank you so much for that. >>> we have a quick programming note for you. it's been nearly one year since the united states withdrew from afghanistan. tomorrow morning, fareed zakaria will look back in a "gps" specia

john fetterman announcing his plans to hold his first rally since suffering a stroke in may. the rally set next friday in erie county, a key swing county that went for president trump and flipped to biden in 2020. despite being off the trail for the last few months, recent polling shows fetterman with a comfortable lead over his opponent, mehmet oz. dasha, what does fetterman's announcement mean for his campaign? how does it affect this race going forward? feel like oz has been missing if fetterman has continued to gain ground even as recovering. >> we have been waiting for this announcement for quite some time now. he's been off the trail since just before the primary back in may. we did see him briefly. we were the first media to see him in person. we were interviewing his wife gisele in june, and he dropped buy in his open-air jeep, said hello, told us he was feeling well. his wife gisele told me she expected him to be back on the trail in july. july came and went, and here we are. but next friday, august 12th, he will step on to the stage at a rally in erie, a key bellwet

listen. >> crime surging, john fetterman's answer? let criminals out of prison. as head of lord of pardons, he's trying to get as many criminals out of prison he can. john fetter sman too far left. >> we just talked critically about those suburban women. too far left. too far left. they're trying to convince people, don't do it. >> and i think it's interesting that of course too far left in the culture wars are what republicans are hoping to do to win some of these close races. obvious, they're trying to tie the candidates as well to president joe biden, and that's becoming a little more difficult right now because biden's on an upswing with. democrats have had a lot of victories in the past week. so democratic candidates aren't moving away from joe biden in the way we might have expected them to just a couple of weeks ago, in george jorng, they're saying, i'm with biden, and i support biden, and he's pushing to do more. >> going back to pennsylvania, this is a race that is such an example of candidate quality because it's at play on both sides of the race. john

john putterman has done -- john fetterman has done two. we need to answer questions from each other. my callout is what are you hiding from. he's the most radical candidate for the united states senate in a contested race this cycle. i get that. you have to be able to answer questions about why you feel that way or is it your health. i'm a doctor. i know you had a significant stroke. come out and talk about what's going on. let me work with you, figure out how we can have a debate format that adresses your issues around your stroke but we all have to take questions. i've been taking them the whole time. it's the key to democracy. what i don't want to have happen, maria, is that the democrats from california and a new york are pouring money into the race, they don't understand who john fetterman is. they're funding a campaign that creates a hologram, a created mandated character in a play that the democrats want to have the voters of pennsylvania see. i want them to see who we really are. if you're paying attention to this, please consider
