>> Tucker: GOOD EVENING. WELCOME TO "TUCKER CARLSON." BRADDOCK IS BASICALLY EMPTY AT THIS POINT. ONLY 1700 PEOPLE LIVE THERE, DOWN FROM A POPULATION OF MORE THAN 18,000 DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR. BRADDOCK IS NOW SO UNDERPOPULATED THAT YOU CAN BUY A FOUR-BEDROOM HOME THERE WITH A TWO-CAR GARAGE IN THE MIDDLE OF TOWN FOR $3,000. DON'T BELIEVE IT. CHECK IT OUT YOURSELF ON REALTOR.COM. SO, YOU KNOW, THE STORY, FOR DECADES THE BIGGEST EMPLOYER IN BRADDOCK WAS MANUFACTURING. SOMETHING CALLED THE EDGAR THOMPSON STEELWORKS. IN FACT, ANDREW CARNEGIE. THE PLANTS CLOSED, AND THERE WAS UNEMPLOYMENT AND PEOPLE LEFT BY THE THOUSANDS. ONE MAN SAW AN OPPORTUNITY IN BRADDOCK, PENNSYLVANIA, NOT AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE TOWN, BUT FOR HIMSELF. THAT MAN'S NAME WAS JOHN FETORMAN. HE WAS 35 YEARS OLD, NEVER IN HIS LIFE HAD A REAL JOB. GETTERMAN WAS NOT FROM BRADDOCK. HE SPENT HIS LIFE GOING TO BUSINESS SCHOOL, THEN TO HARVARD FOR A SO-CALLED MASTERS OF PUBLIC POLICY, WHICH FOR THE UNINITIATED IS AN UTTERLY MEANINGLESS DOCUMENT THAT YOU PAY HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO GET IN ORDER TO TELL PEOPLE THAT YOU WENT TO HARVARD. IN FETTERMAN'S CASE, HIS DAD PAID FOR IT, AND PAID FOR EVERYTHING ELSE. FOR A LONG STRETCH, DEEP INTO HIS 40s, HIS INCOME CAME FROM HIS FAMILY. IN OTHER WORDS, JOHN FETTERMAN WAS A CLASSIC TRUSTFORIAN. IN 2005, A YEAR AFTER ARRIVING IN BRADDOCK, FETTERMAN ANNOUNCED HE WAS RUNNING FOR MAYOR. AMAZINGLY, BOLDLY, GIVEN THAT HE WAS A PROFESSIONAL STUDENT, LIVING OFF HIS RICH FAMILY, JOHN FETTERMAN DECIDED TO RUN AS A BLUE COLLAR POPULIST. THEY ASKED NO QUESTIONS. THEY LOVED IT. IN JOHN FETTERMAN, THE MEDIA SAW THEMSELVES. HE WAS JUST LIKE THEM. FETTERMAN NARROWLY WON THE RACE, AND THEN THE CAMPAIGN TO BOOST JOHN FETTERMAN'S CAREER BEGAN IN INEARNEST. FETTERMAN WENT ON A NATIONAL TOUR TO BRAG ABOUT HOW HE WAS SINGLE-HANDEDLY SAVING A BENIGHTED MILLION TOWN IN WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA. HE GAVE A TED TALK, ABOUT HOW HE WAS RUNNING BRADDOCK USING THE LESSONS HE LEARNED AT HARVARD. IN 2011, HE WENT TO THE ASPEN IDEAS FESTIVAL TO FURTHER BRAG. HERE'S WHAT HE SAID. QUOTE, WE CREATED THE FIRST ART GALLERY IN THE REGION WITH ARTIST STUDIOS. WE DID PUBLIC ART INSTALLATION. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CONSIDER ART IT EXACTLY, BUT I CONSIDER GROWING ORGANIC VEGETABLES AN ART, AND THAT'S ATTRACTED HOMESTEADING. IT'S SO PERFECT. HOMESTEADING, ORGANIC VEGETABLES, ART INSTALLATION. AND A HEAPING DOSE OF CLIMATE THEOLOGY, ALL IMPORTED FROM HARVARD. HE IMPOSED CARBON CAPS ON BRADDOCK, PENNSYLVANIA. HE SAID IT WOULD BRING MORE MANUFACTURING JOBS BACK. HE CALLED THIS INITIATIVE CARBON CAPS EQUALS HARD HATS. SO EXPENSIVE UNRELIABLE ENERGY WILL MEAN MORE MANUFACTURING JOB. HOW NO ONE LAUGHED AT HIM. JOHN FETTERMAN KEPT GOING. IN A 2009 ADVERTISEMENT FOR HIMSELF, HE PROMISED THAT, QUOTE, WITH A SMART, ECONOMICALLY VIABLE CARBON CAP POLICY IN PLACE, COMMUNITIES LIKE BRADDOCK CAN BEGIN TO BUILD ITS MANUFACTURING AND MIDDLE-CLASS BACK UP. THIS WHOLE NOTION IF WE CAN CONTINUE TO OPERATE AS WE HAVE BEEN, AND IGNORE CLIMATE CHANGE, IS LUDICROUS. HA-HA-HA. THEY LOVED IT AT THE ASPEN INSTITUTE. AND TO BE FAIR, JOHN FETTERMAN DID NOT IGNORE CLIMATE CHANGE. HE TALKED ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE ENDLESSLY. HE MADE CLIMATE CHANGE THE CENTERPIECE OF HIS ADMINISTRATION IN BRADDOCK, PENNSYLVANIA. AS FOR ACTUALLY RUNNING THE TOWN OR IMPROVING THE TOWN IN BRADDOCK, HE WAS NOT INTERESTED. NOT EVEN BILLINGS INTERESTED. THAT'S PROVEABLE. AS MAYOR, ACCORDING TO PUBLIC RECORDS OBTAINED BY THE WASHINGTON FREE BEACON, FETTERMAN MISSED MORE THAN A THIRD OF THE BOROUGH'S MONTHLY MEETINGS, BECAUSE HE WAS OFF AT THE ASPEN INSTITUTE. IN HIS ENTIRE TENURE AS THE MAYOR OF BRADDOCK, JOHN FETTERMAN CAST A SINGLE VOTE, A PROCEDURAL VOTE FOR BOROUGH PRESIDENT. WHAT HAPPENED NEXT? THIS IS OUR FAVORITE PART OF THE STORY. WHAT WERE THE RESULTS? HOW DID BRADDOCK, PENNSYLVANIA, FAIR UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF JOHN FETTERMAN? WE WANT TO BE AS FAIR AND OBJECTIVE AS WE CAN BE. UNDER HIS TENURE, AS MAYOR OF BRADDOCK, PENNSYLVANIA, THE SEAS DID NOT RISE. THAT'S TRUE. BRADDOCK IS STILL ON DRY LAND. OF COURSE IT'S FAR FROM THE OCEAN, BUT IT'S STILL DRY. SO HIS CLIMATE POLICY WORKED. HE CAN BE PROUD OF THAT, BUT THE POPULATION IS AT THE LOWEST LEVEL EVER RECORDED. THE MEDIAN INCOME IN BRADDOCK, PENNSYLVANIA, IS $14,000 A YEAR. MORE THAN A THIRD OF HOUSEHOLDS IN BRADDOCK LIVE BELOW THE POVERTY LINE. BRADDOCK, BY THE WAY, HAS ONE OF THE HIGHEST CRIME RATES IN THE STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA. IN 2018, SHORTLY AFTER FETTERMAN LEFT OFFICE, BRADDOCK'S PER CAPITA MURDER RATE WAS HIGHER THAN IT IS IN SOME OF THE MOST DANGEROUS COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD. HONDURAS AND BELIZE ARE SAFER THAN BRADDOCK, PENNSYLVANIA. SO THAT'S A FAILURE. AND IN A FUNCTIONING SYSTEM, A RECORD LIKE THIS WOULD HAVE DISQUALIFIED JOHN FETTERMAN FROM EVER RUNNING FOR ANYTHING AGAIN. HE FAILED DEMONSTRABLY AS A LEADER. A HIGHER MURDER RATE THAN HONDURAS AND LOWEST POPULATION EVER RECORDED. SORRY, CLIMATE CHANGE DIDN'T IMPROVE THE TOWN. IN A FAIR SYSTEM, A SYSTEM THAT CARED ABOUT ACHIEVEMENT, JOHN FETTERMAN WOULD BE LEAVING POLITICS ON THE EXPRESS TRAIN AND MOVING ON TO SOMETHING LIKE INTERPRETIVE DANCE. TRY THAT. MAYBE GET HIS DAD TO PAY FOR SKI LESSONS AND MOVE TO ASPEN. OR SOMETHING. WE DON'T HAVE A FUNCTIONING MERITOCRACY, MUCH LESS A FUNCTIONING POLITICAL SYSTEM. WE HAVE A VERY BROKEN ONE. HAVING WRECKED BRADDOCK, HE BECAME LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR, AND NOW PLANS TO RUN FOR THE UNITED STATES SENATE. WHAT'S HE GOING TO DO HE GETS THERE? HIS IDEA IS TO MAKE THE ENTIRE COUNTRY MUCH MORE LIKE BRADDOCK WITH HIGHER CRIME RATES. WE'RE NOT MAKING THAT UP. HERE HE IS, JUNE FETTERMAN, IN 2020, AS LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR, FANTIZEING ABOUT GIVING AMNESTY TO THOUSANDS OF VIOLENT CRIMINALS, INCLUDING MURDERERS. >> IF YOU HAD A MAGIC WAND, COULD WAVE IT, FIX ONE THING, WHAT WOULD IT BE? >> LIFE WITHOUT PAROLE IN PENNSYLVANIA. WE COULD SAVE BILLIONS IN REVENUE LONG TERM, SAVE THOUSANDS OF LIVES, AND NOT MAKE ANYONE ELSE LESS SAFE. AND ALSO EXPUNGE AS MANY PERMANENT RECORDS OF PEOPLE LIVING THEIR BEST LIVES, PAYING WELL BEYOND WHEN THEY SHOULD HAVE FOR A CHARGE THAT THEY THOUGHT, YOU KNOW, 10, 15, 20 YEARS AGO. >> Tucker: SO IN HUGE PARTS OF PENNSYLVANIA, WHICH IS A BIG STATE, REAL STATE, FILLED WITH REALLY NICE PEOPLE, AN ECONOMIC POWERHOUSE FOR MORE THAN A HUNDRED YEARS, IN HUGE PARTS OF THAT STATE, THERE ARE NO JOBS. THERE'S POVERTY. THERE'S HOPELESSNESS. THERE ARE HUGE NUMBERS OF DRUG O.D.s. THAT STATE HAS BEEN DEVASTATED BY OPIODED, BY FENTANYL. BUT JOHN FETTERMAN, IF HE COULD MAKE ONE CHANGE TO THE STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA, HE'D LET THE MURDERERS OUT. RIGHT. THAT'S WHO HE CARES ABOUT. SO IN PENNSYLVANIA, TYPICALLY IF YOU COMMIT MURDER YOU GET LIFE IN PRISON, AS YOU SHOULD. YOU DON'T HAVE TO KILL PEOPLE. FETTERMAN WOULD CHANGE THAT. HE'D HIKE YOU OUT OF JAIL AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. NO ACTUAL POPPIST OR WORKING CLASS PERSON TALKS LIKE THIS, WORRIES ABOUT PUNISHING MURDERERS TOO MUCH. MAYBE IF YOU ACHIEVE THE FIRST 115 THINGS ON YOUR TO-DO LIST, YOU'D WORRY IF MURDERERS WERE SERVING TOO MUCH TIME IN MIGHT PRISON,AFTER YOU GOT PEOPLE JOBR YOU CONVINCED PEOPLE TO STAY IN THE STATE WHERE THEY WERE BORN, AFTER YOU FIXED THE FACT THAT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE DYING OF DRUG O.D.s. ONLY RICH KIDS THINK LIKE THAT. ONLY WORKING MAN WEARS A HOODY TO A POLITICAL EVENT. ALL YOUR STUPID FAKE TATTOOS. IT'S A COSTUME OF COURSE. DUH. IT'S NOT REAL. JOHN FETTERMAN INSPIRED BY HIS TIME AT HARVARD AND THE ASPEN INSTITUTE WOULD LIKE TO FREE A THIRD OF THE PRISON POPULATION IN PENNSYLVANIA. THAT'S JUST FOR STARTERS. WATCH. >> I WAS ON A PANEL WITH SECRETARY WETZEL EARLIER BEFORE THE PANDEMIC HIT, AND HE SAID SOMETHING REMARKABLE THAT I AGREE WITH. HE SAID, WE COULD REDUCE OUR PRISON POPULATION BY A THIRD AND NOT MAKE ANYONE LESS SAFE IN PENNSYLVANIA. THAT'S A PROFOUND STATEMENT. >> Tucker: IT'S NOT A PROFOUND STATEMENT. IT'S ABSURD. IT'S RIDICULOUS. OH, IT'S A PROFOUND STATEMENT. WHERE DO YOU LEARN TO TALK LIKE THIS, SAYS THE GUY WHO WEARS A HOODY. YOU WRECKED THE TOWN YOU RAN, DIDN'T SHOW UP AT COUNCIL MEETINGS. LET THE MURDERERS OUT. WE'LL HAVE A SAFER SOCIETY WHEN WE LET THE INSCOURGIBLE VIOLENT RUN AMONGST IT. HE MADE BRADDOCK, PENNSYLVANIA, MORE VIOLENT THAN HONDURAS. IT'S TO CHANGE THE STATE FOREVER FOR HIS OWN POLITICAL BENEFIT. THE POINT IS TO FLOOD THE STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA WITH BRAND-NEW VOTERS, ALL OF THEM LOYAL TO THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. MORE VOTER FRAUD, PLEASE. FETTERMAN HAS BEEN IN LOCKSTEP WITH THE LEADERS OF HIS PARTY ON THAT QUESTION FROM THE VERY BEGINNING. THAT'S WHY HE WOULD LIKE TO GET RID OF ALL BARRIERS TO VOTER FRAUD, INCLUDING AND ESPECIALLY VOTER ID, AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. >> IN MY OWN STATE, THEY ARE GOING TO PASS, ATTEMPT TO PASS, A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT, MAKING SURE THAT UNIVERSAL VOTING ID FOR EVERY TIME YOU VOTE, NOT JUST WHEN YOU SIGN UP TO VOTE, BUT EVERY TIME YOU VOTE, BECAUSE THEY UNDERSTAND THAT AT ANY GIVEN TIME THERE'S TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PENNSYLVANIANS WHO TYPICALLY ARE ON THE -- ARE ON THE POORER SIDE, AND ARE PEOPLE OF COLOR, THAT ARE LESS LIKELY TO HAVE THEIR ID AT ANY ONE GIVEN TIME. >> Tucker: SO POOR PEOPLE DON'T HAVE IDs? REALLY? 'CAUSE EVERYONE WHO LIVES IN OUR SOCIETY OVER THE AGE OF 18 HAS A GOVERNMENT-ISSUED ID, BECAUSE YOU CAN'T LIVE HERE OTHERWISE, AND CAN'T COLLECT GOVERNMENT BENEFITS WITHOUT ONE. CAN'T DO ANYTHING WITHOUT ONE. THAT'S A LIE. HE'S AFFIRMATIVELY ABETTING VOTER FRAUD. THE CLIPS WE JUST PLAYED WERE JUNE FETTERMAN SPEAKING BEFORE HE HAD -- AND WE SAY WITH NO GLEE, BUT WITH DEEP SYMPATHY -- A MASSIVE STROKE. HIS CAMPAIGN SAYS THE STROKE OCCURRED SHORTLY BEFORE HE WON THE DEMOCRATIC STATE PRIMARY IN MAY. WHENEVER IT HAPPENED, OR WHATEVER CAUSED IT, THE STROKE HAS BEEN PROFOUND, RENDERED FETTERMAN UNABLE TO SPEAKKO COHERENTLY. WE DON'T SAY IT MEAN, BUT IT'S ABOUT THE COUNTRY HE HOPES TO CONTROL IF ELECTED TO THE UNITED STATES SENATE. IT'S BAD. IT'S REALLY BAD. HERE HE WAS CAMPAIGNING RECENTLY IN PITTSBURGH, FOR EXAMPLE. >> JUST EARLIER TODAY I WAS SO PROUD TO MARCH WITH YOU IN DOWNTOWN PITTSBURGH, LABOR DAY -- HAPPY LABOR DAY. SEND ME TO WASHINGTON, D.C. TO SEND -- SO I CAN WORK WITH SENATOR CASEY, AND I CAN CHAMPION THE UNION WAY OF LIFE IN JERSEY -- EXCUSE ME -- IN D.C. THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IT'S AN HONOR. I LIVE EIGHT MINUTES AWAY FROM HERE. WHEN I LEAVE TONIGHT, I GOT THREE MILES AWAY, DR. OZ, IN HIS MANSION IN NEW JERSEY, YOU'VE GOT A FRIEND, AND YOU HAVE AN ALLY. SEND ME TO WASHINGTON, D.C. >> Tucker: YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT EVEN WORTH MAKING FUN OF. IT'S SAD. BUT WHEN COGNITION GOES, WHEN THE ABILITY TO THINK CLEARLY DISAPPEARS, AND IN HIS CASE IT OBVIOUSLY HAS, WHAT'S LEFT? THE TALKING POINTS. THAT'S ALL THAT REMAINS. THAT'S ALL HE HAS. THE TALKING POINTS. THE UNION WAY OF LIFE. THIS KID LIVED OFF HIS PARENTS UNTIL HE WAS IN HIS MID 40s. HE'S NEVER BEEN IN A UNION. WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, YOU FRAUD. NOT SURPRISINGLY FETTERMAN HAS REFUSED, UP UNTIL TODAY, TO SCHEDULE A DEBATE WITH HIS OPPONENT, DR. OZ. JUST HOURS AGO HE ANNOUNCED HE'S WILLING TO DEBATE. NO DETAILS ARE FORTHCOMING. SOMETIME IN MID-OCTOBER. OF COURSE, WHEN THE EARLY VOTING HAS ALREADY BEEN WELL IN PROGRESS. IT'S STARTING NOW, BY THE WAY, THE EARLY VOTING IN PENNSYLVANIA. SO IF YOU DELAY THE DEBATE TO RIGHT BEFORE THE ELECTION IT'S IRRELEVANT, BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY VOTED. ONLY DEMOCRATS SEEM TO UNDERSTAND THIS. HE DOESN'T EVEN TALK TO THE MEDIA AT THIS POINT, BECAUSE HE CAN'T. IN SOME CASES, HERE'S ONE, HIS STAFFERS WON'T LET HIM ANSWER QUESTIONS THAT HE'S POSED. WATCH THIS. >> HEY, JOHN, ARE YOU AFRAID TO DEBATE DR. OZ? ARE YOU AFRAID TO DEBATE DR. OZ? >> THANK YOU, JOHN. >> ARE YOU GOING TO DEBATE HIM? HE'S OFFERED YOU FIVE DEBATES. ARE YOU GOING TO DEBATE HIM? >> Tucker: HIS HOODY AND FRAUDULENT TATTOOS. I MEAN, HONESTLY, THIS IS LIKE THE BARISTA IN BROOKLYN DRESSING LIKE A LUMBERJACK PLEASE, YOU FAKE. THE GUY CAN'T EVEN TALK. JOHN FETTERMAN, A CANDIDATE FOR THE U.S. SENATE CANNOT SPEAK. WATCH. >> MEMBERS OF THE UNITED STEEL WORKERS TUESDAY, FETTERMAN WAS ON MESSAGE, BUT OFTEN HALTING IN HIS SPEECH, AND OCCASIONALLY DROPPED WORDS MID-SENTENCE. >> BEING ANTI-UNION IS ANTI-AMERICAN. WHAT IS WRONG WITH DEMANDING FOR AN EASY, SAFE KIND OF THEIR INCOME, A PATH TO A SAFE PLACE FOR THEM TO WIN -- OR EXCUSE ME -- TO WORK. >> FETTERMAN DECLINED TO ANSWER QUESTIONS FROM CNN AND OTHER REPORTERS AT THE EVENT. >> Tucker: SO WE COULD GO ON AND ON AND PLAY YOU MORE TAPE, BUT IT'S JUST AWFUL. NOBODY WANTS TO WATCH IT. WE WANT TO MAKE THE POINT, THIS GUY IS COMPLETELY REPAIRED. THAT'S NOT A REPUBLICAN TALKING POINT. IT'S COMPLETELY REAL. SO THINK ABOUT WHAT THAT MEANS. THE DEMOCRATIC APPARENT HAS NOT REPLACED HIM. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE HE GOT THE NOMINATION, BUT HE'S STILL IN THE RACE. THAT'S SHOCKING AND IT'S INSULTING, NOT SIMPLY TO VOTERS IN PENNSYLVANIA, BUT TO THE REST OF US, BECAUSE IF ELECTED WE'LL HAVE TO LIVE UNDER HIS RULE, BUT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY PREFERS IT THAT WAY. THEY DID IT WITH BIDEN. THEY'RE TRYING TO DO IT AGAIN WITH FETTERMAN. RUN A WAX DUMMY FOR OFFICE. PEOPLE WHO CAN'T COMPLETE COMPLETE SENTENCES CAN'T TALK. FETTERMAN AND BIDEN ARE MUCH EASIER TO CONTROL. SO ON THE ONE OCCASION FETTERMAN HAS BEEN ASKED DIRECTLY ABOUT THIS, WAIT A SECOND, YOU'RE COGNITIVELY IMPAIRED. HOW DID HE RESPOND? IF YOU'VE GOT A PROBLEM WITH A BRAIN-DAMAGED SENATOR, YOU'RE A BIGOT. WATCH THIS. >> CAN YOU EVEN IMAGINE, IF YOU HAVE A DOCTOR MOCKING YOUR ILLNESS, RIDICULING THAT? WELL, HERE WE ARE. HERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW. I WOULD LIKE TO THINK THAT DR. OZ MAY HAVE REALLY LOST HIS WAY IF YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE FUN OF SOMEBODY THAT HAD A STROKE. >> Tucker: OH, MAKING FUN OF PEOPLE. HOW DARE YOU DO THAT. HE'S DISABLED. SHUT UP. ACCEPT IT. HOW DARE YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THE OBVIOUS. YOU HAVE NO RIGHT. THIS IS ALL ABOUT JOHN FETTERMAN'S PERSONAL JOURNEY. SO YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO ASK, WELL, HOW DOES THIS AFFECT ME, IF THAT GUY CAN'T THINK CLEARLY IS ELECTED TO THE UNITED STATES SENATE? THAT'S IMPLIGHT. THEY DO IT ON SO MANY ISSUES. THEY'RE DOING IT WITH HIM. IT WORKS. MOST PEOPLE JUST SHUT UP. IT'S CONSIDERED COMPLETELY OUT OF BOUNDS TO MENTION THE FACT THAT JOHN FETTERMAN IS COMPLETELY INCAPABLE OF REPRESENTING PENNSYLVANIA IN THE UNITED STATES SENATE. AS WE SAID, THAT FACT -- AND IT IS A FACT -- IS FINE WITH THE PEOPLE WHO RUN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. THEY JUST WANT THE POWER. THE REST OF US SHOULD BE VERY WORRIED BY THIS. IF THEY CAN GET THIS GUY ELECTED STATEWIDE IN THIS ASSASSINATION'S FIFTH LARGEST STATE, THIS GUY, AN INCOMPETENT HUSK, WITH INCREDIBLY STUPID AND TOTALLY PROVEABLE DESTRUCTIVE IDEAS, A MAN WITH NO RECORD OF ACHIEVEMENT AT ALL, A MAN WITH A LONG LIST OF DOCUMENTED FAILURES, A MAN WHO, BY THE WAY, CANNOT THINK CLEARLY, IF THEY CAN DO THAT, THEY CAN DO
