With the Cuisinart Airfryer Toaster Oven
a breaking
a breaking
development in the great state
of Pennsylvania tonight as heart
surgeon Emmy Award winning
television host, Dr Mamet OZ is
now jumping into the republican
Senate. Primary
lets take a look.
My parents came to America to
find a better life and they did.
I attended great universities
and became a successful surgeon.
I invented a heart valve that
saves thousands of lives. Then I
started a tv show to advocate
for you taking control of your
health and took on the medical
establishment to argue against
costly drugs and skyrocketing
medical bills,
but Covid has shown us. Our
system is broken.
We lost too many lives too many
jobs and too many opportunities,
because Washington got it wrong.
It took away our freedom without
making a safer and tried to kill
her spirit, and our dignity
has a heart surgeon. I know how
precious life is.
Pennsylvania needs a
conservative who will put
America first
or we can reignite our divine
spark bravely fight for freedom
and tell it like it is
thats. Why im running for
Senate
im Dr Ross- and I approve this
message-
vowing to run a
campaign putting you, the
american people, first take on
the Washington establishment to
protect fundamental freedoms,
keeping America safe and secure,
and he says, to serve the people
of Pennsylvania
here to talk about his candidacy
is Dr Ross himself
theres a lot of similarities
before Donald Trump ran for
office. Ive been friends with
him for many years. We had so
many conversations too numerous
to count late into the night,
and I got to really know you
during Covid, and you were
calling Europe at three in the
morning and updating the
anecdotal information had
nothing to work with at the time
and a while. Back, you told me,
you are thinking of running
first of all and said youre
nuts, its a horrible world, and
I want you to explain in your
own words what you told me and
why youre running
you did warn me. But today was
an exhilarating day, and let me
give you little background.
My parents immigrated here
legally and our country provided
unparalleled opportunities that
have benefited me and I feel
firmly. It is time to repay my
debt.
America is in crisis, thats, not
news, so I want to serve America
and its time of need.
I can do that by running for the:
U Dot S Senate seat in Pennsylvania,
Pennsylvania
Americans deserve better
solutions,
but instead people with good
ideas are shamed, silenced,
bullied. Canceled,
you talk about all the time and
a medicine. If we cannot say what
we see thats, what we always
tell the patients the truth,
because they will respect us and
we can deal with reality, if
were honest with each other.
Let me talk about covid for a
second, because, as a physician,
ive spent a lot of time trying
to understand what went wrong
and its emblematic of other
issues. We are struggling with in
our great country.
Remember the phrase two weeks
ago to flatten the curve
of that metastasized into this
terrible authoritarianism,
overreaching that did not make
us safer
people with yards, told people
with no yards to stay indoors,
thats, where the virus was
somebody close, the parks, shamed,
people about beaches and now
threatening the same overreach
for Omicron, as you were talking
about.
I think those choices should be
yours, the american people.
Now the voters of Pennsylvania
and taken on big pharma gone to
battle with big tech, gone up
against companies, big ones,
ive got scars to prove it and I
cannot be bought and I will keep
fighting those battles to
empower the folks of
Pennsylvania and around the
country
so heres. What im hearing from
patients viewers people all
over the country, three basic
goals bear the first is: we need
safety and safety means high
quality health care,
but on the streets it means
well trained police.
There was a college student
murdered this week that broke
the all time record of five hundred and one
murders where I am right now
shameful.
Basically, the narrative is
false,
its about cartels, trafficking,
human beings and successfully
being done so they keep doing it
and bringing opiates along the
border with them,
and we are not making it hard
because we are letting
everything come across the
border.
The second thing is, they want
their kids to thrive and do
better than they did.
I certainly want that for my
children,
the path to success with kids is
getting them educated.
So you need choice. You can make
sure you can take kids where you
need to be local rule. Why
wouldnt you be involved in the
curriculum of your kids,
education and you want to have
your values, defended
your parents and the teachers,
values and the kids values need
to align, or else the parents.
Nobody loves the kids more than
the parents. For the third thing,
everyone is asking about our
jobs and thats interesting
jobs are about dignity from
about purpose and also about
savings which are being eroded
now by inflation. But this is why
I am excited. The prognosis is
good.
A good example of this
innovation is when
President Trump had operation
warp speed that gave the world
the Mrna vaccine, and that was
a big event and America did
that
we had that spirit and we are
suffocating them.
I am writing to ensure that we
see the light of day.
I know we can do it
heres. My pledge
my promise to everybody.
I want to be a public servant
and every choice I make will be
serving the city of Pennsylvania
in the United States and none of
them will serve a special
interest in Washington, many of
whom ive been at war with, for
most of my career,
reinvigorate American, see that
divine spark in each other
because its there.
Let me ask you this
allegations, you dont even live
in Pennsylvania
im sure you saw that earlier
today
I saw it.
I grew up just across the border
south of Philadelphia, I went to
medical school in Philadelphia,
went to business school in
Philadelphia, met and married. My
wife, which was the best thing I
ever did thirty six years ago in
Philadelphia, and she bore two
children in Philadelphia.
I came home a year ago. It feels
good to be back. I love the
state and I will represent it
honorably.
Let me ask you,
because I dont know how much
money you make, but syndicated
program successful tends to do
very well, so I wanted to get a
little deeper because I did say
to you: this is a blood sport and
I warned other people. Are you
prepared for this?
I talked to Herschel Walker, for
example, and hes like im, ready,
im willing to take whatever it
takes, and all of this will come
your way in the days to come.
What is it specifically? I am
a registered conservative, not
of republican but mostly end up
voting Republican, because we
have a two party system,
but I could tell you in a minute
what my political philosophy is,
but rather than me tell you
mine. What is yours
ill? Tell you one thing for
sure: any government large
enough to give you everything is
powerful enough to take it all
away. So I dont want that. I
want liberty and freedom, and
that means limited government.
People who dont know our local
problems and the more that we
can be local, the more we can
trust the people in our
communities and the better off.
We are,
I believe, in energy independence,
but we dont as a nation want to
beg other countries to change
what theyre doing with energy,
because I believe in
capitalism, so people can compete
and I respect the constitution.
I have a brilliantly written
document that should be honored
on the bench, and sometimes you
have free market solutions that
work- and this is my specialty
area, and I spent my life
studying this.
We can protect against
pre existing conditions and use
premarket solutions in
health care that makes it
affordable accessible for
everybody and have been a secret
for you. The worst medicine is
bad medicine.
The best way to save money is to
give people high quality care.
You mentioned
immigration earlier in your
parents, status where you stand
on immigration.
Immigration is a big problem
for a couple of reasons.
We are subsidizing cartels
involved in human trafficking,
bringing opiates across the
border, but lots of other issues
as well.
President Trump was right:
people should wait on the
mexican side of the border
coming across a legally deal
with all the issues they are and
not put law enforcement in an
impossible predicament where
they are forced to chase them
down. When we know theyre not
coming back for their follow up,
I say: im a
conservative,
I used to say im a Reagan
conservative.
I would salmon America first
make America great again
conservative.
How would you describe in just a
sentence here, political
ideology philosophy? You are
running in a republican primary.
How would you sum it up?
I match yours.
I think this country has all the
building blocks to be
spectacular. The infighting is
hurting our ability to do its
possible. I know its a position
that when you come together to
save lives, we can do that exact
same thing in this nation.
There is nothing that should
hold us back.
We focus on those goals I
mentioned earlier, make sure
your kids are at least is able
to survive in the future world
as he wouldve been and make
sure weve got jobs, so people
have dignity,
Dr Oz, we need
better people to run for office
its become so vicious and
hostile to look at the way they
treated Donald Trump for five
years. I wish you luck in this
race. Come ive known you for a
long time.
Weve had a lot of private
conversations.
I know youre sincere and
everything that youre saying.
I think one thing I really like
that, you said: is you want to be
a public servant of the people
and a lot of people go to
Washington end up serving.
