 We now know that dr. Oz will be facing off against John Fetterman in Pennsylvania Senate race this November And I was a little bit worried at first not necessarily because I think that dr. Oz is a good candidate In fact, I think he's a terrible candidate, but the problem is that he has a lot of name recognition This is a celebrity who's had a television show for years and name recognition goes a really long way in US politics but John Fetterman just released his first general election campaign ad today and and Most of my fears have faded away because John Fetterman is going to be running a very Solid campaign if this is any indication of what's to come take a look People have been trying to label me my entire life. I do not look like a typical politician I don't even look like a typical person John Fetterman knows Pennsylvania through and through from York played football and redding Raising his family in Braddock a steel town He's looked different and been different his entire life As mayor Fetterman helped rebuild his town as lieutenant governor. He reformed the office now The big guy is running for Senate to take on Washington This is a race for the future of every community across Pennsylvania for every small town or person that's felt left behind For every job left and factory closed for every person that works hard But can't get ahead this cost keep rising those decisions were made for us by people that don't know us And that's exactly who we're running against Pennsylvania is our home and it's worth fighting for I'm John Fetterman, and I approve this message. Okay, Dr. Oz should be worried that should Horrify Dr. Oz he should see that and shit himself because how do you a celebrity a rich person? Who's worth tens of millions of dollars compete with that authenticity with that blue collar appeal with that originality? I mean John Fetterman is speaking about how he's different, you know He's not like everyone else but at the same time even though he's unique. It doesn't look like a politician He shares the struggle or shared the struggle of people in the state of Pennsylvania I mean this is an incredible ad and I wish that more Democrats would do What John Fetterman is doing but the problem is that a lot of them lack authenticity a lot of them were kind of privileged and didn't have that Experience so that's why John Fetterman can relate with normal people and what I am anticipating now is that dr. Oz Will try to copy John Fetterman. He's going to run a different campaign now He'll make that general election pivot and pretend to be this anti establishment, you know normal blue collar guy, but the problem is There is an authenticity gap between John Fetterman and dr. Oz John Fetterman seems like a normal human being Whereas dr. Oz seems like a phony. I mean, you've all seen it by now But take a look at one of the last as that he ran in the GOP primary My father taught me how to handle my first gun. I taught my son Oliver how to do the same I've been shooting and hunting my whole life. So when people say I won't support guns They're dead wrong well Other conservatives know that I'm strong on the second amendment head Nuget Rick Perry president Trump But our second amendment is not just about hunting It's about our constitutional right to protect ourselves from intruders or an overly intrusive government So as your next US senator, I will fight for our constitutional rights How authentic I Mean it feels like that's a parody ad and if I were a GOP voter I would see that and be insulted because he's very clearly trying to pander to you If you're a Republican in the state of Pennsylvania, you should feel insulted that he thinks you're that unintelligent But maybe you are because you voted for him. So I mean, it's just How how are you supposed to you know convince people that you care when you're a celebrity You're as out of touch as you possibly can be in this country Now what makes John Fetterman's ad? I think more powerful or I should say what will make it more powerful is where he's choosing to broadcast it because we all know That um individuals like Sean Hannity, they're very invested in this race being friends with dr Oz he helped dr Oz when the GOP primary and unquestionably he will try to help dr Oz when the general election so he can become a senator So they're gonna be attacking John Fetterman relentlessly comparing him to you know Bernie Sanders because he endorsed Bernie in 2016 calling him a Crazy socialist. This is what Conor Lamb did against him in the Democratic Party primary So the attacks will come from Fox News. So what is John Fetterman doing to counter that? Well, he's gonna place this ad Right on Fox News as Catherine Fung of Newsweek explains John Fetterman Pennsylvania's Democratic Senate candidate and a well-known ally of Bernie Sanders is turning to Fox News to appeal to voters in the upcoming general election Erring two of his first TV ads Against Trump-backed GOP candidate Mehmet Oz on the conservative network The Fetterman campaign purchased two spots on Fox News in the Pittsburgh scran and Johnson markets that will run from Tuesday through June 14th According to Politico a campaign spokesperson said Fetterman's team has spent $250,000 for the week-long ads Adding that we plan to re-up the bi-weekly as the GOP attacks keep coming other Democrats need to take note Because when you see that the attacks are gonna come from Fox News What you do is you buy ads during these shows that will inevitably be attacking you and you debunk the myths that they're spreading It's it's a brilliant strategy And I get why some people might be against this because it feels gross to give Fox News money but folks this is an election and You want the person who's the better candidate to win? So if that means Advertising on Fox News and going where most eyeballs are going to be That's what you've got to do So I think that buying ads in these particular markets in Pennsylvania is Brilliant because we know the attacks will be Ongoing and we know that dr. Oz already has an advantage because of name recognition But if John Fetterman can counter that and counter the attacks it increases his chances and these ads are incredible It should appeal to even some of Fox News's viewers assuming that their brain hasn't completely rotted by watching too much Fox News But look, it's not like John Fetterman is the best candidate ever, right? There's areas where I have my disagreements with him You know, I don't like his stance on Israel Palestine or fracking But even with these things that I disagree with if he were to be elected He'd be one of the most progressive senators in the country And that's not saying much because I get that the bar is really low But it's still better than most of the people already in the Senate and he'll certainly be better Than dr. Oz who's just gonna go along with the GOP's agenda. I don't think he really has any Authentic beliefs or he even has a core political ideology He's doing this because he's an opportunist and maybe he's just bored being a TV doctor I'm not necessarily sure but either way it's really important that John Fetterman does everything he can and I think that so far He's off to a really great start the one thing that worries me is that you know currently if you look at generic polls Just Republican versus Democrat Republicans have a massive leg up and a lot of this stems from Biden's unpopularity You know it kind of trickles down if the president is unpopular then that usually affects the house and the Senate So I hope that that doesn't necessarily heard Fetterman. It's hard to say but either way Right now at least at the beginning of the general election campaign He's doing everything that he should be doing and this should absolutely scare the shit out of dr. Oz I'd be afraid if I were him do you enjoy watching independent news shows like the humanist report the rational national and the majority report But oftentimes YouTube doesn't deliver our videos to your subscription box.
