Shapiro Defends Mehmet “Ten Houses” Oz’s Wealth

“The real campaign issue in Pennsylvania, according to everybody, is Dr. Mehmet Oz is an elitist. Elitist. And we know if you earn money in the United States, that makes you unqualified for office. 

“The original founders of the country tended to be overwhelmingly wealthy men because again, the idea here is that if you don’t want people in politics or demagogues, then it’s good for them to have an outside source of income.

“You want to cut down on corruption. It’s good for people to be independently wealthy before they’re in office. It’s not a bad thing. It gives you the ability to say things that are actually on your mind because you have less to lose.

“This is why, biblically speaking, most of the prophets were actually kind of wealthy, because if you’re wealthy, you don’t have much to lose in any case.

“Dr. Oz has now come under severe fire. Not a biblical prophet, but a candidate for Pennsylvania. Why? Well, because he was asked about the number of houses that he owns and he was off.” – Ben Shapiro, on today’s show.
