Dr. Mehmet Oz has secured the GOP nomination for Senate in Pennsylvania. On our sister show Oprahdemics, Kellie Carter Jackson and Leah Wright Rigueur discuss his very dubious medical track record, how much Oprah Winfrey is responsible for promoting his brand, and whether she has any obligation to speak out about his political life.

Check out Oprahdemics wherever you get your podcasts — and join us for an Oprahdemics live show on June 15th in New York City as part of the Tribeca Film Festival!
