Dr. Oz Addresses Dual Citizenship, Pennsylvania Residency, and More

Pennsylvania Republican gubernatorial hopeful Dr Mehmet Oz. joined The John Fredericks Show Monday for a wide-ranging interview covering his thoughts about endorsing former President Trump in 2022, his dual citizenship, and much more.

John Fredericks: Welcome to the show today. US Senate candidate – Dr. Oz, Mehmet Oz – running for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania. There’s a primary come up on May 17th. It is not a runoff. Whoever finishes first gets to be the nominee. Other big candidate in the race hedge fund CEO wall street, extraordinaire, banker David McCormick, also.

In the race right now, it seems to be a two-person race. Dr. Oz with us one. Welcome. All of our listeners in Pennsylvania AM 740 Liberty radio 105.3 FM and 95.3 in Pennsauken, New Jersey. Dr. Oz. Thanks for being with us today. I really appreciate the time.

Dr. Oz: It’s good to meet you last week, too, in person.

John Fredericks: It was, Dr. Oz, and I appreciate it. Now I’m gonna start with that, Actually, you had a private dinner. You and your lovely wife, Lisa, with President Trump and Melania. Obviously, we were at the next table over and you guys seem to be getting along great. The president was talking you up at that dinner to the various people there.

Is there, you think, an opportunity you might get president Trump’s backing between now and May 17?

Dr. Oz: Well, I’ve always been a huge supporter of president Trump. I had him on my show before the 2016 election, as you remember in part, because I thought he deserved at, at his time on network television, no one was inviting him on.

There was a clear media bias against everything that he was saying, which was of course perpetuated – got worse – during his presidency. So, we, the main purpose of the dinner was to understand more about what he thinks about some of the issues way around in the world, because it helps me a lot as I campaign across Pennsylvania to understand his perspectives.

And I’ll give you an example. When he spoke at, CPAC, which I also attended, and had a separate session at, but he gave the main session, the things he was talking about, providing wind under my sails, because it elevates the campaign when he, for example, dived into what could have been done in the Ukraine differently.

That would have avoided the humanitarian catastrophe there. And so when the president says, ‘Listen, I told Putin pretty clearly that he was gonna be in trouble and his country was gonna be at risk.’ If he invaded, you know, that’s important because you know, is it to happen a 100 percent if the president says it or is it 5 percent?

It doesn’t matter. There’s a risk to your country. If you violate the law and people need to understand that we’re taking the opposite tact, the president argues. And I think this is a very important insight when you telegraph what you’re thinking and you. To make sure that everyone in Europe knows that Russia couldn’t attack them with nuclear weapons, you chill resistance, you reduce the bravery that would otherwise be, for example, exhibited by the Ukrainians, because they’re a dire risk already – but that’s not the same bravery.

That’s perhaps, being projected by our government leaders. And that’s why Putin, I think, got aggressive in the Ukraine. He felt bold enough that he might actually prevail. He won’t.

But again, when you don’t take brave actions in a timely fashion – as a surgeon, I’ll say this – you put people at risk.

John Fredericks: Dr. Oz with us running for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania, the Republican primary May 17th and – no runoff, plurality wins tight race there with hedge funder McCormick.

Dr. Oz, if president Trump announces. A campaign for president after the November elections, which after November 8th, which I believe is imminent.

Are you prepared, win or lose, to make the endorsement of Trump for President as a Republican nominee? Right out of the gate?

Dr. Oz: Yes. Thank you. And you look around at what has happened under the Biden administration and you were reminded. And I think much of America is now more appreciative of what was done under president Trump’s, four years in office.
