>>> THE SENATE RIGHT NOW IS DEADLOCKED AT 50-50.
>> JOE BIDEN, WITH A 50-VOTE MAJORITY, THE SLIMMEST MAJORITY
HIS PARTY COULD HAVE.
>> IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO SHOW THE NATION WE CAN COME TOGETHER
AND DO BIG THINGS.
>> MITCH McCONNELL, HIS SOLE LINE IS TO REGAIN POWER IN 2022.
>> IT'S A PERFECT STORM OF PROBLEMS FOR THE DEMOCRATS.
>> REPUBLICANS WANT TO WIN BACK THEIR MAJORITY IN THE HOUSE AND
THE SENATE.
>> WITH THE UPCOMING NOVEMBER ELECTIONS --
>> THAT SLIM DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY MEANS CONTROL OF THE SENATE
COULD FLIP TO THE REPUBLICANS.
>> THIS RACE IS CRUCIAL IN KEEPING CONTROL OF THE SENATE.
>> NATIONAL DEMOCRATS ARE WATCHING PENNSYLVANIA SENATE
RACE CLOSELY.
>> HAS THE PROMINENT AND MAYBE THE MOST EXPENSIVE U.S. SENATE
RACE IN THE COUNTRY.
>> I CAN BE SOMEONE THAT TRIES TO BRIDGE THE DIVIDE.
>> THE LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR, WHO IS MORE OF A PROGRESSIVE.
>> YOU CAN'T HAVE TRUE REFORM UNLESS YOU REFORM THE POLICING.
>> A LOT OF UNITY. THE PROBLEM OF THE DEMOCRATS IS
CANDIDATES LASH OUT.
>> DEMOCRATS SHOULD BE USING A REPUBLICAN ATTACK LINES AGAINST
EACH OTHER.
>> AND THIS FIGHTING, COULD THAT PROVE THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY'S
ULTIMATE DOWNFALL?
>> ON THE REPUBLICAN SIDE, THE POOL OF CANDIDATES INCLUDE SOME
EYEBROW RAISING NAMES.
>> CELEBRITY DR. OZ.
>> EVERYONE KNOWS WHO I AM. BUT THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT I STAND
FOR.
>> AND FORMER CEO DAVE McCORMICK
>> AND FORMER CEO DAVE McCOR McCORMICK.
>> THE WOKENESS IS GOING TO TURN AMERICA INTO SOMETHING WE DON'T
REALIZE.
>> TRUMP ALLIES ARE CONSIDERING BOTH OF THESE CANDIDATES THE
CANDIDATE. THE QUESTION IS WHO?
>> I ENDORSED DR. OZ IN PENNSYLVANIA.
>> NO ONE IS CLEAR WHAT IMPACT IT WILL HAVE.
>> IT WAS A MISTAKE TO ENDORSE OZ.
>> DONALD TRUMP STILL WANTS TO PLAY KINGMAKER IN THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY.
>> COMPETITIVE RACE IS EXPECTED.
>> DEMOCRATS NEED TO WIN THAT RACE.
>> PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN'S AGENDA HANGS IN THE BALANCE.
>> HOW COULD REPUBLICANS SCREW THIS UP?
IT'S ACTUALLY POSSIBLE.
>> OH, LOOK AT MY PINK DRINK.
>> YES.
>> I LOVE A PINK DRINK.
>> HOW DID YOU GUYS GET THIS WHOLE BAR TO YOURSELF?
>> WE CAN'T BE TRUSTED AMONG OTHER PATRONS.
>> ARE WE GOOD?
>> WE'RE GOOD, EXCEPT WE'RE MISSING SOMEBODY.
ALEX IS NOT WITH US TONIGHT.
>> BECAUSE?
>> SHE'S GOT THE BUG.
>> ALEX WOULD BE BIG INTO THOSE FRIES.
>> ALEX, GET BETTER. SEE YOU NEXT WEEK.
>> SO LAST WEEK, WE LOOKED AT HOW TOUGH THE SLEDDING IS GOING
TO BE FOR HOUSE DEMOCRATS.
>> THE REALITY IS, THERE'S NO HOPE IN THE HOUSE.
BUT THERE IS A TREAD OF HOPE IN THE SENATE.
FOR JOE BIDEN AND FOR THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, THE SENATE
TAKES ON OUTSIZED IMPORTANCE.
>> YOU CAN STILL CONFIRM SUPREME COURT JUSTICES.
>> AND MITCH McCONNELL, AS MAJORITY LEADER, WILL DO
EVERYTHING IN HIS POWER TO FUCK JOE BIDEN FOR TWO YEARS.
IT IS THE CASE THE DEMOCRATS HAVE A FAVORABLE MAP.
THE HANDFUL OF REPUBLICAN SEATS IN PLAY, A SMALLER HANDFUL OF
DEMOCRATS IN PLAY.
>> WHOEVER WINS WILL WIN BY ONE OR TWO OR THREE SEATS.
>> THE BEST OPPORTUNITY FOR DEMOCRATS IS IN PENNSYLVANIA.
PAT TOOMEY IS RETIRING. THE FACT THAT TOOMEY IS RETIRING
MEANS THAT IT'S A RARE SITUATION WHERE YOU HAVE COMPETITIVE
PRIMARIES IN THE DEMOCRATIC AND REPUBLICAN PARTY.
>> DR. OZ.
>> LIGHTNING IN A BOTTLE. A MIRACLE FLOWER TO FIGHT FAT.
>> HE HAD A SUCCESSFUL TELEVISION SHOW FOR 18 YEARS.
HE GAVE TRUMP HIS GOOD HEALTH REPORT DURING THE '16 CAMPAIGN.
>> ALL THE TESTS WERE JUST DONE.
>> THE RECORDS I GOT INDICATE HE'S HEALTHY THUF TO BE
PRESIDENT.
>> AND THEN DAVE McCORMICK, A BUSINESSMAN, HE'S GOTTEN INTO
THE RACE, AS WELL. THE --
>> HER BASIC THING IS, I'M A REAL MAGA CANDIDATE.
THE OTHER ONES ARE RHINOS. SO DONALD TRUMP'S ENDORSEMENT
WAS A BIG DEAL. TINA POWELL, AN IMPRESSIVE
WOMAN. SHE COLLECTS HOPE HICKS AND
STEPHEN MILLER, TWO OF TRUMP'S FAVORITES.
>> AND WHAT HAPPENED? TRUMP ENDORSED OZ.
>> A LOT OF CONSERVATIVES HAVE SPOKEN OUT ALREADY.
PEOPLE SAY YOU HAVE ENDORSED THE WRONG CANDIDATE FOR THIS STATE.
>> IT'S LIKE TRUMP GIVES HIS BLESSING AND GO OKAY, THESE ARE
MAGA PEOPLE GOING, WHAT THE FUCK DID DONALD TRUMP JUST DO?
>> OZ IS A TV GUY. HE'S BEEN A OLWOOD PERSONALITY
AND SUPPORTER OF THINGS NOT PURELY MAGA.
>> McCORMICK IS NOT MR. MAGA EITHER, HE'S MORE WALL STREET.
BUT' BUT HE'S MORE ALIGNED WITH
REPUBLICANS IN PENNSYLVANIA.
>> THERE'S TROUBLE IN MAGA CITY. McCONNELL SAID THIS TOO --
>> I GUESS WE'LL FIND OUT IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS HOW MUCH HIS
ENDORSEMENT MADE A DIFFERENCE.
>> ON THE DEMOCRATIC SIDE, WHOLE OTHER THING, DEMOCRATS GOT THESE
THREE STRONG, INTERESTING CANDIDATES.
>> CONOR LAMB, A MEMBER OF CONGRESS FROM PENNSYLVANIA.
HE'S A VETERAN. HE IS THE MODERATE IN THE RACE.
THIS IS THE KIND OF DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE THAT WINS PENNSYLVANIA
RACES. THEN THERE IS MALCOLM KENYATA, A
STATE REPRESENTATIVE IN PENNSYLVANIA.
>> HE'S LIKE A YOUNG PROGRESSIVE, HE HAS BLACK,
YOUNG, GAY COMMUNITY ORGANIZER.
>> BUT THEN YOU HAVE --
>> THE BIG DOG.
>> JOHN FETTERMAN. HE'S HUGE.
HE'S 6'8". HE'S THE FORMER MAYOR OF
BRADDOCK, A VERY BLUE COLLAR TOWN.
HIS CRITICS ARE QUICK TO POINT OUT, HE'S A HARVARD GRAT.
>> HE'S BECOME A CELEBRITY. BERNIE SANDERS AND ELIZABETH
WARREN LOVE HIM. HE HAS ALL THIS PROGRESSIVE
JUICE.
>> AND RIGHT NOW HE'S KILLING IT IN THIS RACE.
HE'S 25 POINTS UP ACCORDING TO LATEST POLL.
>> NO ONE THOUGHT THIS WAS GOING TO TURN INTO A MUD NIGHT.
>> THE LAST DEBATE FETTERMAN DOESN'T SHOW UP FOR, CONOR LAMB
SAYS --
>> HE POINTED THE SHOTGUN AT THE CHEST OF AN UNARMED BLACK MAN
AND SAY HE WOULD DO IT AGAIN.
>> IN 2013, FETTERMAN SAYS HE HEARD GUNFIRE AND SAW SOMEONE
RUNNING DOWN THE STREET. HE HELD THIS GUY UNTILT THE
POLICE SHOWED UP. AND HE SAID, I WAS PROTECTING MY
COMMUNITY. I THINK I DID THE RIGHT THING.
NOW, CONOR, THE MODERATE CANDIDATE, IS ATTACKING
FETTERMAN FROM THE LEFT.
>> OF ALL THE RACES IN THE COUNTRY, PARTLY BECAUSE
PENNSYLVANIA WAS SO ICONIC IN 2020, IT'S THE LAST STATE TO KL
JOE BIDEN, THE ONE THAT PUSHED BIDEN OVER 270 ELECTORAL VOTES.
IT'S TAKEN ON THIS OUTSIZED PSYCHOLOGICAL IMPORTANCE.
SO NOW ACCOUNTTHEY'RE GOING ALL.
>> THERE COULD BE REAL CHAOS HERE IN BOTH PRIMARIES IN THE
KEYSTONE STATE.
>> KEYSTONE CHAOS?
>> KEYSTONE CHAOS.
>> WE ARE IN LANCASTER COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA, FOR AN EVENT WITH
DAVE McCORMICK. DONALD TRUMP THREW A GRENADE
INTO THE CONTEST BY ENDORSING HIS OPPONENT, MEHMET OZ.
AND BOTH CANDIDATES HAVE BLISTERING NEW ATTACK ADS AIRING
ACROSS THE STATE.
>> PRESIDENT TRUMP ENDORSED DR. OZ FOR SENATE, BECAUSE TRUMP
KNOWS WHO THE REAL SENATE IS. IT'S NOT DAVID McCORMICK, THE
LIBERAL, PRO BIDEN, PRO CHINA WALL STREET INSIDER.
>> SENATE CLINTON IS ONE OF THE SMARTEST PEOPLE I EVER MET.
DR. FAUCI IS A WONDERFUL SCIENTIST AND DISCIPLINED
LEADER.
>> MEHMET OZ, A COMPLETE AND TOTAL FRAUD.
>> HOW ARE YOU?
>> ALL THE TIME PEOPLE SAY WHY ISN'T SHE RUNNING?
>> IF YOU CAN'T GET THE ENDORSEMENT OF THE FORMER
PRESIDENT OF YOUR PARTY, GO FOR THE FORMER TWO-TERM U.S.
REPUBLICAN SENATOR FROM HERE, RICK SANTORUM.
>> I'M SUPER GLAD I'M HERE, BECAUSE HE IS EXACTLY -- HE IS
EXACTLY THE KIND OF MAN THAT WE NEED IN THE UNITED STATES
SENATE.
>> YOU'VE CHOSEN TO SUPPORT McCORMICK.
THE TIMING ISN'T COINCIDENTAL.
>> DR. OZ'S VIEW ON ISSUES IS RADICALLY DIFFERENT THAN A YEAR
OR TWO AGO. ONE OF THE THINGS ABOUT CELEBS,
THEY LOVED BEING LOVED. AND IN WASHINGTON, AS A
CONSERVATIVE, YOU DON'T GET ANY LOVE.
YOU GET ZERO LOVE. AND SO IT JUST WORRIES ME GOING
INTO A PLACE THAT IF YOU STAND BY THINGS THAT YOU'RE NEWLY
INVOLVED WITH, NEWLY CONSERVATIVE ISSUES, IT MIGHT BE
AN INTERESTING AND UNPREDICTABLE DYNAMIC.
>> DONALD TRUMP HAS ENDORSED OZ. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
>> THAT MEANS HE GETS A LOT OF WIND AT HIS BACK.
BUT IN THE END, PEOPLE LOVE DONALD TRUMP IN THIS STATE.
BUT THEY'RE GOING TO VOTE FOR THE CANDIDATE THEY TRUST TO BE A
CONSERVATIVE IN WASHINGTON, AND THAT'S DAVE McCORMICK.
>> IS THE TRUMP FACTOR WANING IN REPUBLICAN POT TICK
REPUBLICAN POT TLITICS?
>> I THINK TRUMP IS STILL THE 800 POUND GORILLA IN REPUBLICAN
POLITICS. BUT AS TIME GOES ON, PEOPLE MOVE
ON AND I THINK ALL THINGS BEING EQUAL, YOU WANT HIS ENDORSEMENT
OPPOSED TO NOT WANTING IT. BUT IN A RACE LIKE THIS, I DON'T
THINK IT MEANS AS MUCH IN A RACE WHERE PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THE
CANDIDATES AS MUCH, THEN IT MEANS A LOT.
>> HOW MANY PEOPLE HERE ARE WORRIED ABOUT THE DIRECTION OF
THE COUNTRY? YEAH, ME TOO.
IN OUR SCHOOLS, THERE'S A VERSION OF AMERICAN HISTORY
BEING CAUGHT MANY OF US DON'T RECOGNIZE.
AND PARENTS AREN'T INVOLVED IN KEY DECISIONS ABOUT VACCINE AND
TESTING, AND WE'RE TAUGHT YOU CAN'T RAISE YOUR HAND BECAUSE OF
A CANCEL CULTURE THAT WON'T ALLOW YOU TO DEBATE.
THIS SEAT IS IMPORTANT. THE COUNTRY IS IN A CRISIS, AND
JOE BIDEN AND NANCY PELOSI AND CHUCK SCHUMER ARE GOING TO TAKE
US OVER A CLIFF UNLESS WE PULL THINGS BACK.
AND THAT'S WHY I'M RUNNING. SO THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE
TONIGHT. I APPRECIATE IT.
>> I WANT TO WELCOME YOU TO THE CONSTITUTION CENTER, WHERE WE'LL
HEAR FOR THE THREE LEADING CANDIDATES FOR THE PENNSYLVANIA
SENATE RACE FOR THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
MILLIONS WILL GO TO THE POLLS AND VOTE FOR THE CANDIDATE WHO
WILL KEEP THEIR KIDS SAFE FROM GUN VIOLENCE.
>> YEARS ON THESE DIFFERENT THINGS, HOW COULD WE NOT BE
INVESTING THAT CAN SAVE KID'S LIVES?
SO THAT'S WHY WE HAVE TO TAKE BACK THIS SEAT IN PENNSYLVANIA.
>> EVERY PERSON YOU HEAR COME ON THIS STAGE IS GOING TO BE FOR
DEALING WITH HIGH CAPACITY MAGAZINES AND ASSAULT WEAPONS.
THEY'RE ALL GOING TO BE FOR PASSING A LOT OF THE SAME BILLS.
THE DIFFERENCE IS, WHEN I GO HOME TONIGHT, I MIGHT HAVE
ANOTHER SHOOTER ON MY BLOCK.
>> GUN VIOLENCE IS THE WHOLE REASON WHY I ENDED UP IN PUBLIC
SERVICE. I'M GOING TO -- OH, WOW.
ON MY ARM ARE DATES OF EVERY SINGLE HOMICIDE IN BRADDOCK
BECAUSE THEY WERE PERSONAL TO ME.
>> LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR, OTHER CANDIDATES SAID IN 2013, YOU
DREW A GUN ON AN UNARMED BLACK MAN.
AND I WANT TO GIVE YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS THESE
ATTACKS NOW.
>> I WAS OUT AND HEARD A BURST OF GUNFIRE.
I CALLED 911, AND I SAW AN INDIVIDUAL IN A SKI MASK DRESSED
COMPLETELY COVERED HEAD TO TOE. HAD NO IDEA WHAT HIS RACE WAS,
RUNNING FROM THE GUNSHOTS. AS BRADDOCK'S CHIEF LAW
ENFORCEMENT OFFICER, I INTERCEPTED THE INDIVIDUAL, AND
THE WEAPON WASN'T LOADED, AND THE POLICE SHOWED UP SHORTLY
THEREAFTER, AND THAT WAS THE END OF THE INCIDENT.
EVERY SINGLE PERSON THERE UNDERSTOOD THAT THIS HAD NOTHING
TO DO WITH PROFILING OR RACE, AND IT WAS ALL ABOUT PUBLIC
SAFETY.
>> I THINK ABOUT TRAYVON MARTIN, GEORGE ZIMMERMAN, ANOTHER PERSON
WHO THOUGHT THEY SAW SOMETHING, DECIDED TO TAKE THE LAW INTO
THEIR OWN HANDS. AT THE TIME, HE SAID I'M NOT
ABOVE THE LAW. IF I COMMITTED A CRIME, I SHOULD
BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. POWERFUL MEN LIKE FETTERMAN ARE
NEVER HELD ACCOUNTABLE.
>> JOHN KERRY, FORMER NOMINEE OF YOUR PARTY, SHOWS UP HERE.
>> HE COMMITTED SOME FAUX PAS.
>> IT WAS CHEESE STICK WITH SWISS CHEESE ON IT.
>> WHIZ WHIT FOR ME, PLEASE.
>> FETTERMAN IS LIVING IN A FANTASY LAND, CAN'T GET HIS
STORIES STRAIGHT, DOESN'T EVEN TRY.
WHAT DO YOU FIND PROBLEMATIC?
>> WHAT HE DID THAT WAS WRONG WAS POINT A SHOTGUN AT AN
UNARMED BLACK MAN. JOHN'S REFUSAL TO ADMIT THAT HE
WAS WRONG IS JUST A BIG SLAP IN THE FACE FOR SPECIALLY BLACK
PEOPLE IN OUR STATE THAT THINK IT'S UNACCEPTABLE.
>> THERE'S THIS VIDEO FROM 2013.
>> THE MAYOR TELLS A VERY DIFFERENT STORY.
HE SAYS FETTERMAN --
>> FOLLOWED ME AND AIMED A SHOTGUN AT MY CHEST.
>> DID YOU POINT THE SHOTGUN AT HIM?
>> NO, I DID NOT. I POINTED IT IN A WAY THAT HE
WOULD SEE I WAS ARMED. I DIDN'T HAVE A ROUND CHAMBERED.
>> DOES A MAYOR WITH A SHOTGUN AND SIX OTHER COPS SURROUNDING
ME.
>> IS HE LYING ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING?
>> HE'S NOT BEING HONEST. THAT YOUNG MAN SAYS TO THIS DAY,
FETTERMAN POINTED THAT SHOTGUN INTO HIS CHEST.
I USED TO BE A PROSECUTOR. YOU THINK ABOUT CREDIBILITY.
THERE WAS NO REASON FOR THAT GUY TO LIE IN THAT MOMENT.
FETTERMAN HAS A POLITICAL INCENTIVE TO DISTRACT.
>> DO YOU THINK IT'S DISQUALIFYING?
>> MY BASIC APROEP IS TO
>> MY BASIC APROEP IPROACH IS T GO TO THE BLACK COMMUNITY.
WE'VE HAD A NUMBER OF OPPORTUNITIES TO EXPLAIN
OURSELVES IN FRONT OF BLACK AUDIENCES.
PROBABLY THE LARGEST BLACK CHURCH IN PHILADELPHIA, HE
DIDN'T EVEN SHOW UP. AFTER HE SKIPPED THAT AND WENT
ON TO SKIP OUR FIRST DEBATE, IT JUST SEEMED OBVIOUS TO ME THAT
HE'S TRYING TO HIDE FROM THE ISSUE.
>> DISQUALIFIED TO BE A NOMINEE OR SENATOR?
>> I THINK BOTH.
>> HAD FETTERMAN NEVER DONE THIS, YOU WOULD STILL SAY YOU'RE
MORE ELECTABLE?
>> I LOOK AT HIS CLOSE ASSOCIATION WITH SENATOR
SANDERS. HE'S A GREEN NEW DEAL PERSON.
THAT WHOLE SUITE OF POLICIES, I JUST THINK PLACES HIM OUT OF THE
MAUN STREAM MAUN ST
MAIN STREAM OF OUR STATE.
>> YOU'VE GOT THIS NEW SUPER PAC AD.
>> BERNIE SANDERS IS DESCRIBED AS A DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST.
>> I DON'T THINK HE HAS DESCRIBED HIMSELF AS THAT.
BUT THE AD SAYS, HE SEEKS THE ENDORSEMENT OF BERNIE SANDERS.
IF BERNIE SANDERS WANTED TO ENDORSE YOU, WOULD YOU TURN IT
AWAY?
>> THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. I THINK THE ANSWER IS YES.
I'M A PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRAT, TRYING TO COMPETE IN A STATE
THAT IS PRETTY MODERATE TO PURPLE.
AND THE CONTROVERSY OVER THAT AD REVEALS SOMETHING, WHICH IS THAT
THEY'RE LOOKING AT THE WRONG THING.
THEY'RE LOOKING AT HOW DOES FETTERMAN DESCRIBE HIMSELF.
THAT REALLY DOESN'T MATTER, BUT HOW DO THE VOTERS DESCRIBE HIM.
WE KNOW WHOEVER THE NOMINEE IS, THEY'RE GOING TO PUT COMMERCIALS
ON TV FOR MONTHS ON END. I THINK THAT LABEL STICKS TO
JOHN. I KNOW IT HASN'T TUCK TO ME.
>> BY EVERY PUBLIC MEASURE, YOU ARE BEHIND.
IF THIS IS ABOUT CHARACTER AND ELECTABILITY, IT'S GOING TO GET
MORE NEGATIVE AND HARSHER, MORE INTENSE, DO YOU WORRY ABOUT A
BLACK LASH, AS ONE WHO DOES 79 HAVE THE STATEWIDE PROFILE THAT
YOUR OPPONENT DOES, THAT CONOR LAMB IS JUST TRYING TO TAKE DOWN
FETTERMAN.
>> I THINK IRON SHARPENS IRON AND WE HAVE TO PREPARE OURSELVES
TO DO SOMETHING PRETTY TOUGH THIS YEAR.
>> I'VE GOT LIKE A SELFIE STICK KIND OF ARM HERE.
YOU'LL NEVER PICK UP YOUR SMARTPHONE OR THE PAPER AND SEE
THAT I HAVE CHANGED MY MIND ON WOMEN'S REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM.
YOU WILL NEVER SEE ME TURN MY BACK ON THOSE ISSUES.
IF I AM THAT 51st VOTE AND IF THERE IS SOME AWFUL POLITICAL
PRICE TO BE PAID AT HOME, I WILL GLADLY TAKE IT AS A BADGE OF
HONOR IF MY VOTE IS THE ONE THAT HELPS TRANSFORM AMERICA WITH
LEGISLATION. THIS RACE -- YES, EXACTLY.
THIS RACE, LET ME TELL YOU. OH, MY GOODNESS.
YOU KNOW, WE'RE RUNNING A UNIFORMLY POSITIVE MESSAGE,
BECAUSE IT'S EVERYTHING THAT WE WIN.
EVERYTHING. EVERY DOLLAR YOU'VE ENTRUSTED
WITH ME WILL NEVER BE WEAPONIZED AGAINST A FELLOW DEMOCRAT.
LET'S JUST LET THE AIR OUT OF THAT ONE.
I'M GOING TO TELL THE TRUTH. CONOR LAMB IS NOT A SOCIALIST.
AND NEITHER AM I. WE BOTH HAVE BEEN CALLED
SOCIALISTS BY REPUBLICANS, AND WE STILL WON.
WE CANNOT EMBRACE REPUBLICAN ATTACKS AND TALKING POINTS
AGAINST EACH OTHER. THAT'S HOW I JUST FUNDAMENTALLY
BELIEVE, YOU KNOW?
THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
>> SO WE'RE FIVE WEEKS OUT. YOU'RE WAY AHEAD.
IT'S GETTING KIND OF UGLY.
>> ONE SIDED. WE'RE COMMITTING AND STAYING
POSITIVE.
>> BUT THE TERRAIN THIS IS BEING FOUGHT ON NOW FROM YOUR
OPPONENTS IS MORE ABOUT CHARACTER, ELECTABILITY.
>> WE DON'T RESPOND TO NEGATIVITY, BECAUSE THIS RACE IS
SO CRITICAL, THAT IT'S SO IMPORTANT WE FLIP THIS SEAT.
>> WE TALKED TO CONOR LAMB. HE SAID JOHN'S NOT BEING HONEST.
>> THAT'S JUST NOT TRUE AT ALL, AND THEY KNOW THAT.
YOU KNOW, THAT'S HIS POLL NUMBERS TALKING.
BRADDOCK IS 75% BLACK. IN THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY FOR
MAYOR, IT NEVER CAME UP. AND NOW IT'S COMING UP IN A
PRIMARY, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, OUR OPPONENTS ARE STRUGGLING.
>> BRADDOCK IS A SMALL TOWN, 2,000 PEOPLE THAT LIVE THERE.
THEY KNOW YOU PERSONALLY. HOW ARE YOU GOING TO MAKE SURE
THAT IN THE GENERAL, THAT DOESN'T COME BACK THAT THE BLACK
VOTERS ACROSS THE STATE KNOW PERSONALLY.
>> WE'VE RUN ON THE TRUTH OF THAT STORY.
IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH ANY OF THE THINGS THAT WERE BEING
ALLEGED.
>> THAT SOMETHING YOU THINK YOU NEED TO APOLOGIZE FOR?
>> WE'RE JUST MOVING FORWARD. IT HAPPENED NINE YEARS AGO.
AND THE CAMPAIGN THAT WE'RE RUNNING NOW IS BASED ON OUR
CAREER CAN TRUTH OF WHAT HAPPENED THAT DAY, AS, AGAIN,
ACTING IN THE CAPACITY TO PROTECT THE COMMUNITY AS MAYOR
AND BRADDOCK'S CHIEF LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER.
>> DEMOCRATS THINK YOU MAY BE THE BEST CHANCE YOU HAVE IN
WINNING A SENATE SEAT BACK. BUT IT'S GOING TO BE A TOUGH
ENVIRONMENT. DO YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'RE GOING TO
BE ABLE TO PULL SOME REPUBLICAN OR INDEPENDENT VOTERS IN?
>> IF A HEDGE FUND BILLIONAIRE FROM CONNECTICUT LIGHTS YOUR
FIRE IN CAMERON COUNTY, FOR EXAMPLE, THAT'S YOUR CHOICE AS A
PENNSYLVANIA VOTER. I THINK PENNSYLVANIA VOTERS ARE
GOING TO WIN A LEVEL OF AWE THEN 'TIS 'TIS, AND WE'RE MUCH MORE
AUTHENTIC THAN ANY OF THE LEADING REPUBLICANS ON THAT
SIDE. WE'RE GOING TO BRING IN ET
VOERS, BECAUSE WE HAVE A GRASSROOTS CAMPAIGN ON OUR HANDS
HERE.
>> THE PRIMARY RACE IS HEATING UP IN PENNSYLVANIA.
>> YOU SEE McCORMICK AND OZ, THOSE ARE THE ONLY NAMES.
THERE ARE OTHERS IN THE RACE.
>> SHE INSISTS SHE'S THE AMERICAN FIRST CANDIDATE.
>> WE'RE IN LEHIGH VALLEY, AND THE ONE CANDIDATE THAT IS NOT
HERE IS DR. OZ.
>> MEHMET OZ IS NOT A CONSERVATIVE, HE'S NOT AN
AMERICA FIRST CONSERVATIVE. SO I RESPECT PRESIDENT TRUMP,
BUT I AM RUNNING TO BE YOUR SENATOR AND I THINK I'LL DO A
GOOD JOB.
>> YOU LOOK AT THE PEOPLE THAT RIOTED AND LOOTED ACROSS OUR
COUNTRY IN 2020 AND COMPARE THEM TO THE PEOPLE THAT TRESPASSED
INTO THE U.S. CAPITOL BACK IN JANUARY OF 2021?
IT IS NOT EQUAL JUSTICE.
>> PARTISANS, A FORMER AMBASSADOR TO DENMARK UNDER
DONALD TRUMP, SHE HAD BEEN RUNNING THIRD IN MOST POLLS, BUT
WITH TRUMP'S ENDOERSEMENT OF OZ SHAKES THINGS UP.
UNLIKE OTHERS TWO WERE UNCLEAR WHETHER OR NOT THERE WAS FRAUD
IN THE 2020 ELECTION, SHE IS VERY CLEAR.
>> THE SENATE HAD INVESTIGATORS INVESTIGATE THE ELECTION OF
2020, AND THEY DETERMINED IF THE ZUCKERBERG MONEY, MARK
ZUCKERBERG, HIS WIFE AND FRIENDS PUT INTO A NONPLOF IT,
PUT INTO A NONPLOF ROFIT, IF TH HAD NOT DONE THAT, DONALD TRUMP
WOULD BE ELECTED PRESIDENT AND WE WOULD HAVE PEACE AROUND THE
WORLD TODAY. THEY PUT ALMOST $500 MILLION
INTO A NONPROFIT AND THEY CONTROLLED HOW THE ELECTION WAS
HELD, WHERE THE BALLOTS WERE COUNTED, WHERE THE DROP BOXES
WENT.
>> I LOOK AT ALL THE AUDITS AND LAWSUITS.
THEY'VE DONE THREE AUDITS IN --
>> THIS IS SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
>> YOU THINK THE IMPACT OVERALL OF THE ENDORSEMENT OF DONALD
TRUMP TO MEHMET OZ DOES WHAT TO THE RACE?
>> OUR CAMPAIGN HAS DONE BETTER SINCE THE ENDORSEMENT, BECAUSE
CONSERVATIVES ARE GOING WAIT A SECOND, WE DON'T WANT TO SEND A
WEAK REPUBLICAN TO WASHINGTON.
>> WOULD YOU SAY THIS HAS CREATED A STRATEGIC OPENING FOR
YOU?
>> YES.
>> IN THE SENSE THAT IT'S DIVIDING THE MAGA COMMUNITY?
>> IT'S NOT DIVIDING THE MAGA COMMUNITY.
THE AMERICA FIRST COMMUNITY WANT AN AMERICAN FIRST SENATOR.
I HAVE A PUBLIC TRACK RECORD THAT SHOWS THAT.
>> DID YOU TALK TO PRESIDENT TRUMP ABOUT THAT?
>> I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT MY PRIVATE CONVERSATIONS.
HE DOES SAY HE'S A BIG FAN OF MINE.
>> YOU SERVED THE ADMINISTRATION.
>> I DID, I SERVED IT HONORABLY AND I WILL WORK SO WE DON'T HAVE
THE CHAOS AROUND THE WORLD. BUT FOR THAT, WE NEED AN
AMERICA-FIRST PRESIDENT IN 2024.
>> THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION WAS RIGGED AND STOLEN, AND BECAUSE
OF THAT, BECAUSE OF THAT, OUR COUNTRY IS BEING SYSTEMATICALLY
DESTROY DEST
DESTROYED. WITH YOUR VOTE THIS NOVEMBER, WE
CAN MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.
>> WE HAVE BEEN FOCUSED ON THE SENATE RACE ALL WEEK, BUT
THERE'S A CRUCIAL RACE FOR GOVERNOR THAT IS MAYBE EVEN MORE
IMPORTANT THAN THE SENATE RACE OR EVEN WHO CONTROLS THE SENATE.
THAT'S BECAUSE PENNSYLVANIA IS THE BATTLE GROUND OF BATTLE
GROUND STATES. IT WAS THE CENTERPIECE OF
TRUMP'S STRATEGY TO OVERTURN THE ELECTION.
DEMOCRATIC ATTORNEY GENERAL JOSH SHAPIRO WAS AT THE CENTER OF
THAT FIGHT IN 2020 IN BEATING BACK LAWSUITS FROM THE TRUMP
SIDE. HE'S NOW RUNNING FOR GOVERNOR,
AND HE'S MADE PROTECTION OF DEMOCRACY AND FREE AND FAIR
ELECTIONS THE CENTERPIECE OF HIS GUBERNATORIAL CAMPAIGN.
>> HI, EVERYBODY. HOW ARE WE DOING?
ALL RIGHT!
>> YEAH, YOU'RE GOOD.
>> THANK YOU, MA'AM.
>> WHAT YOU DID DURING THAT 2020 ELECTION.
>> THANKS, EVERYBODY. THERE'S A CLEAR CONTRAST IN THIS
RACE. REPUBLICANS, THEY WANT TO MAKE
IT HARDER FOR YOU TO PARTICIPATE IN OUR DEMOCRACY.
THEY'RE GOING TO TRY AND RESTRICT YOUR VOTING RIGHTS.
I WILL ALWAYS STAND ON THE SIDE OF DEMOCRACY.
>> DONALD TRUMP CONTINUES TO BE OBSESSED.
MORE CHAOS IN THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY ENDORSING DR. OZ.
HE SAID ONE OF THE REPUBLICANS HE WASN'T GOING TO ENDORSE --
>> THE ANTI-ENDORSEMENT.
>> I'M NOT GOING TO ENDORSE THIS MAN BECAUSE HE DIDN'T DO ENOUGH
TO STEAL THE ELECTION. I MAY ENDORSE SOMEONE ELSE.
WHAT DOES IT TELL YOU THAT HE CONTINUES TO BE SO OBSESSED WITH
PENNSYLVANIA IN PARTICULAR?
>> IT TELLS ME MORE ABOUT MY OPPONENTS, THAT THEY'RE MORE
FOCUSED ON PLEASING DONALD TRUMP THAN SERVING THE PEOPLE OF
PENNSYLVANIA. THE MODERN DAY REPUBLICAN PARTY
IS A PARTY OF LEADERS WHO PERPETUATE THE BIG LIE.
OUT OF A PROFOUND, PERSONAL WEAKNESS.
IN ORDER TO DEFEAT THE BIG LIE, YOU HAVE TO DEFEAT THOSE
MESSENGERS OF THE BIG LIE. BOTH BECAUSE YOU THEN SHUT DOWN
YOUR EFFORTS TO UNDERMINE VOTING RIGHTS, BUT YOU ALSO SHOW THEM
THERE'S NO POLITICAL GAIN TO BE MADE BY LYING AND SELLING OUT
OUR DEMOCRACY.
>> REPUBLICANS CONTROL THE STATE LEGISLATURE
LEGISLA LEGISLATURE, THEY PASSED BILLS,
BETTER I.D., THEY PASSED ANOTHER BILL THAT WOULD PROHIBIT DROP
BOXES FOR BALL LOSS. WHAT WOULD IT MEAN IF A
REPUBLICAN WON THE GOVERNORSHIP IN 2022 FOR 2024?
>> FEWER PEOPLE HAVE ACCESS TO THE BALLOT BOX.
MORE RESTRICTIONS ON VOTING. I HATE TO MAKE IT SOUND LIKE
IT'S SUCH AN EXISTENTIAL THREAT, BUT I THINK IT IS.
WITH CONGRESS' FAILURE TO ACT ON CRITICALLY IMPORTANT VOTING
RIGHTS BILL, THE BATTLE IS GOING TO BE IN THE STATES.
I THINK IT COMES DOWN TO THREE OR FOUR STATES, MICHIGAN,
WISCONSIN, PENNSYLVANIA. IT'S GOING TO BE A BATTLE IN THE
STATES AS TO WHETHER OUR DEMOCRACY SURVIVES THIS, AS
PENNSYLVANIA IS AT THE EPICENTER OF IT.
