by the way, as did the governor of new jersey and the governor of pennsylvania. here are these beds, 80 plus percent of them stayed empty and you provided everything for them. why? why when it they use them? >> so i got a call from governor cuomo, nick de blasio , i sent this great ship and they converted it to use for covid which is not an easy thino so quickly. they had tremendous rooms and tremendous everything. if it was ready. we built 2,800 rooms at the javits center and they were beautiful. i call every week, how does it do it, why aren't you using it? it was incredible, the army corps of engineers did a great job. everybody did buried we had these incredible areas, these big, beautiful hospitals. we built them all over the state and rebuild them in illinois, in louisiana, and plenty of other places too. but we built this magnificent places in a period of days and why aren't you using them? they couldn't give me an answer, they didn't know. if they would have use them, he would not have had the problem and cuomo would have been better off than he has right

we're going to walk down pennsylvania avenue. i love pennsylvania avenue and we're going to the capitol. >> we all know what happened afterwards. the mob attacked the capitol trying to unseat american democracy. now stockton-lawrence are upset by the last trump speech. so upset they returned to their hotel room and insist they cannot storm the capitol with the angry mob. all evidence points to that being true. there are no pictures of them. in the days and weeks after the event, they said they took issue with the violence. they wanted the organization thez work with to plan the rallies to come out more forcefully. they also attempted a so-called maga sellout tour in inciting that insurrection. he were still intimately involved in the movement. it started before any votes were even cast. continued in the weeks after the election and built up to january 6th. up to the fateful moment we just played when the president instructed p tomorrow go to the capitol and fight. they were true believers. they work to the foundation of the democ

republican from pennsylvania, scott perry, about his alleged effort pps he already said that he will not cooperate. joining us now, the first director of the institutes of allergy and infectious diseases. we want to talk about omicron, it's now accounting for 73% of new cases, speading more rapidly than anyone expected and the holiday season is just days away, and people wanting to travel. first let's talk about why it is spreading to quickly and how concerned are you about people gathering? first of all, you're correct. it is spreading in an unprecedentedly rapid way. we first saw that in communications with our colleagues this vertical time in the new variant when and it is doing what i predicted it would do. a doubling time of about to days. undoubtedly in the next week or two it will be overwhelmingly, over 100% of the isolates. the configurations of the mutations are the things that make it very, very efficient in spreading from human to human. and so with it is really most an trod fair. this will prose a advantage. it is still true even more so now, it is extraordinarily import

he has made that decision and now it is up to the residents of pennsylvania to decide who will represent them. come on now. >> oprah is very clear about her brand. that's a very measured statement. we can about dr. oz because of her. we know about dr. phil because of her. we know about these snake oil salesmen because of her show. she doesn't call him dr. oz. she calls him mehmet oz. he's so far from being a credible doctor. congress really bringing him to task for these miracle drugs and cures. it is a measured response. but i think oprah winfrey has been very clear that the decades she's been in our homes, she's only been involved in politics with barack obama. she never really dipped her toe into local or state national elections shelf did help stacey abrams toward the tail end of the campaign in 2018. i tonight think she would wade in the water with dr. oz. especially because he's sufficient a weak candidate and highly problematic as well. >> when i read that. you really thought oprah was going to lend her name to you? come on. thank you both very much for joining us. coming up, the

i noticed you answered the question about your connection to pennsylvania. you were attacked on that. there's people all over the internet saying you're anti-second amendment. is that true? >> no, i'm strongly pro second amendment. i have my carry and conceal. i own guns. i think every one should have a right to bear arms. can i say one thing? this last week has been life-changing. i had millions of video views on droz.com. overwhelming calls for voters liking our message. i want to come back to because of the comments on views. i travel to markets. the campaign has made me so much more confident than i was about america's future. these great ideas, they're going to empower us to fix health care and the education and the economy. this specific thing that we've been exposed to has changed my views. i realize the innovation and capitalism work. we can cut costs and save lives. the hippocratic oath is we always put our patients first. if i can be your public servant for pennsylvania, i'll put voters first. >> sean: where do you stand on education? if kids don't

this projection on pennsylvania avenue tonight is timed to coincide with the international democracy summit, and of course they put it up in just the right place for anybody who, say, lives on pennsylvania avenue, and thereby might see it. this was put up tonight by a group called the declaration for american democracy, which is a very large coalition of good government and activist groups that's trying to get the freedom to vote act passed. so we stop crumbling our own democracy at home. i mean, it is heartening in some ways that the u.s. is trying to take the whole leader of the free world thing seriously again. but we do have our own set of problems. an unusually acute series of problems right now with the political right really flagrantly turning away from democracy, really turning away from the idea of a free world at all, let alone one that we lead, both through diplomatic leadership and also through our example. i mean, president biden invited these hundred plus countries to the summit this week, right. right after he had his big one on one meeting with vladimir putin, the pur

said the maga operative involved in the pennsylvania race. you covered the white house, but you also covered washington. you know what it is like here on capitol hill. how far off is that assessment from the republican operative about the republican party right now? >> i mean the republican party right now, you can see them as obstructionism. a party that doesn't focus so much on policy and actual bills and legislation. working just how they used to be. they are focused on the politics of contempt. the thing about this piece is excluding that we have to make sure we hang up on people. full that's a lesson number one. but it's also about republicans who are still working to figure out who could be the next trump. can trumpism and the brand of politics that he represents in personality and celebrity actually win without him. doctor oz is trying the most obvious. he has changed his position over and over. any story or negative news about him in the media is an attack on the regular trump vote for republican. that is something he is working on do

why can't georgia, north carolina, pennsylvania and other republican-controlled state houses declare this is bs, where conflicts in election not called that night and just send their own electors to vote and have it go to scotus, the supreme court of the united states. now a spokesman for rick perry tells us the former governor denies having sent that text. when asked how he explained the fact that the text came from rick perry's phone number, which we confirmed through multiple ways, the spokesman had no explanation. the text message was among more than 6,000 documents that mark meadows turned over to the committee. it was made public on tuesday when democratic congressman and january 6th committee member jamie raskin of maryland read the text on the house floor during debate on whether to hold mark meadows in criminal contempt of congress. raskin cited the text as evidence demonstrating why the committee needed to interview meadows about the events leading up to and on january 6th. >> how did this text influence the planning of mark meadows and donald trump to try to destroy the la

we're going to walk down pennsylvania avenue. i love pennsylvania avenue. and we're going to the capitol. and we're going to try and give -- the democrats are hopeless, they're never voting for anything. not even one vote. but we're going to try and give our republicans, the weak ones because the strong ones don't need any of our help. we're going to try and give them the kind of pride and boldness that they need to take back our country. >> it did not work. but trump did manage to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power for the first time in this country's long history. and make no mistake, he's gearing up to run again in 2024. even if he does not, he's already rebuilt much of the republican party in his authoritarian image. what happens when someone a little more competent, who understands the levers of power, tries to run the same playbook? what if the next brad raffensperger caves and finds imaginary votes? what if the next terrified ruby freeman gives in to intimidation and agrees to lie about fraud? in order to be prepared for that moment, we need to a

senate seat in pennsylvania as a republican. he says the pandemic motivated him to run. dr. oz writes in a "washington examiner" op-ed, quote, the arrogant close minded people in charge closed our parks, shuttered our schools, shut down our businesses and took away our freedom. dr. oz gained popularity as the doctor who made regular appearances on oprah. then, he landed his own tv gig where he came under fire for making controversial and fabricated claims about medical cures. tonight, randi kaye has the story. >> reporter: his audiences watch in awe as dr. oz pushing miracle treatments or cures that often lack medical evidence to back them up. >> and i've got the number one miracle in a bottle to burn your fat. it's raspberry key tone. >> we're kicking it off with what i believe is one of the most important discoveries we've made to help you burn fat faster. green coffee bean extract. >> reporter: dr. oz also once claimed putting a bar of lavender soap in your bed can help prevent restless leg syndrome, but there is nothing like his showmanship for his rapid belly melt demon

oz is running for senate in pennsylvania. former president trump hasn't endorsed oz yet, but he's reportedly intrigued by his candidacy, and they both share a penchant for dubious medical information. your quick thoughts on dr. oz's chance. >> i'm certainly very troubled, number one, because he doesn't seem to reside in the state of pennsylvania. residency does seem to be questionable. but i'll leave that to the experts to sort that out. the real big thing we should be worried about is really his ability to buy into this race. of course there is another billionaire in this race also that has announced. i'm most worried about the fact that star power combined with the monetary gain that comes with it could really allow these celebrities to not only further a narrative that benefits them, which continues to draw eyes to their questionable, dubious, debunked medical theories for dr. oz, for example. i'm really most worried about just how much money will influence this race. >> don, many supporters of roe v. wade have been on pin

oz who is now running for senate in pennsylvania at one point was telling people vitamin c was the way they'd get over covid, right? it is hard when people are telling you that your epsom salt bath is going to unvaccinate in you.he but taking vitamin c and a bath in epsom salt isn't going to hurt you. smearing your baby with arsenic o and lead-laced dirt is -- this is harder to -- this is harder to walk away from. but we have to understand it in order to even try to start to think rationally about it. brandy, thank you for your reporting. i know you spend a lot of time in a lot of dark places to bring us this stuff but you help us understand. thanks. >> thanks, rachel. >>> much more ahead tonight. stay with us. ek dy lks r 24-hour hydration. no parabens, dyes, or fragrances. gold bond. champion your skin. do you struggle to fall asleep and stay asleep? no parabens, dyes, or fragrances. qunol sleep formula combines 5 key nutrients that can help you fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and wake up refreshed. the brand i trust is qunol. 10:00 p.m. on december 6th, last year, a woman in

pennsylvania, michigan, arizona, just to name a few of them. people who are grifters, as you say, people pushing trump's lies. they are run for crucial administration positions to run elections. and is it a very specific strategy. steve bannon recently talked about it. here he is. >> we are taking over the republican party through the precinct committee strategy. we are taking over all the elections. >> are they going to be successful? >> well, we have yet to see. i -- i will tell you and i -- i said yesterday in wisconsin, i am as scared and worried as i have ever been. we have people now running for positions as election officials who view election denial as a feature, not a flaw, of their campaigns. it is actually one of their primary campaign plat forms. um, we are seeing people who believe it is okay to try to, um, leverage some kind of perceived constitutional cheat code to install someone who lost an election by over 7 million votes in the white house. we have to put this election in perspective. it was the widest margin of any president
