But that began to shift in 2016 with the appearance on the show of then-candidate Donald Trump.Oz interviewed Trump in September 2016. Among other things, the interview touched on Trump's <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StCrUbik2zM&amp;ab_channel=TODAY">medical records</a>. The interview disturbed Oz's staff, according to two producers who worked on the show at the time.Oz "allowed the man to lie about his weight and height, and those are pretty basic things," one of the former producers said. "It felt like a lap-dog interview." (On the campaign trail, Trump's mischaracterizations of his height and weight became emblematic of his tendency to tell bald-faced <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/01/24/trumps-false-or-misleading-claims-total-30573-over-four-years/">lies</a>, and raised questions about his <a href="https://www.politico.com/story/2016/12/trump-drivers-license-height-232948">physical fitness</a>.) The bump from the Trump interview wasn't enough to sustain ratings for "The Dr. Oz Show," which declined steadily after its third season, losing out to rival "Dr. Phil." It did, however, affect the attitude among Oz's staff. "It really did have an impact on morale because we felt we had made him more palatable to Middle America and given him a seal of approval," the former producer added of Trump.From talk show guest to game-changing endorsementNow, Trump is Oz's most prominent endorser. Last August, he tapped the doctor over fellow Republican David McCormick, whose wife, Dina Powell, served in the Trump administration. Oz's choice to pursue politics caught many of his employees off guard. "This was somebody who had acquired a great deal of success and financial gain and had already been under public scrutiny — why would someone pursue that on top of the level they had already achieved?" the first former producer asked. Once Oz unveiled his campaign platform, taking a hard line on immigration, abortion, and gun control, and lamenting elites being "all too happy to tell you how to live your life," their questions intensified.The second former producer wondered if Oz really believes in what she called this "kooky, crazy" platform. "He's saying this stuff about elites," the producer said. "I'm like, 'Dude, you've got a basketball court in your house.'" <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/inside-dr-oz-quest-for-power-surgeon-gop-senate-candidate-2022-6">Click here to read the full story on how Dr. Oz's insatiable desire for power led him to a Republican win in Pennsylvania.</a>

Sicknick, the police officer killed in the storming of the Capitol on Wednesday.An aide to Vice President Mike Pence told <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/live/2021/01/09/us/trump-biden#trump-has-not-lowered-flags-in-honor-of-an-officer-who-died-from-injuries-sustained-amid-the-riot">The New York Times</a> that while Pence has contacted Sicknick's family to offer his condolences, Trump has not contacted them. Flags over the US Capitol were flown at half-mast in honor of Sicknick Saturday, while the White House did not lower its flag. The White House did not immediately reply to a request for comment on why flags at the executive mansion were not lowered. The last time Capitol Police officers were killed in the line of duty was in 1998 when a gunman killed two officers in the Capitol after bursting through security barriers. President Bill Clinton after the killings ordered flags to be lowered at the White House and other executive buildings in honor of the officers, <a href="https://oklahoman.com/article/2620494/assailant-kills-2-capitol-policemen">reported the Associated Press. </a>Trump had made his support for law enforcement one of the cornerstones of his reelection campaign last year. The Capitol Police announced Sicknick's death<a href="https://www.uscp.gov/media-center/press-releases/loss-uscp-colleague-brian-d-sicknick"> on Thursday,</a> which in a statement said he "was injured while physically engaging with protesters" as they swarmed the US Capitol. "He returned to his division office and collapsed. He was taken to a local hospital where he succumbed to his injuries," said police. Law enforcement sources have told media outlets, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/capitol-police-death-brian-sicknick-46933a828d7b12de7e3d5620a8a04583">including the Associated Press</a>, that Sicknick was killed from brain injuries after being struck on the head by a fire extinguisher by a rioter. Before the riot, Trump addressed the protesters, who had gathered to support his baseless allegations that the election had been stolen from him as a result of mass fraud.The president told them they would have to "fight much harder" and urged them to march on the Capitol, where lawmakers were certifying President-elect Joe Biden's victory. In the Capitol's resulting violence, a Trump supporter, Ashli Babbit, was fatally shot by a police officer and three people died in medical emergencies. On Thursday, police and law enforcement officers from several agencies lined the streets of <keyword id="32755" type="COMPANY" weightage="60" keywordseo="Washington-DC">Washington DC</keyword> to pay tribute to Sicknick, only the fourth Capitol Police officer in its history to die in the course of duty. Lawmakers, including Senate Majority Mitch McConnell, have paid tribute to Sicknick. Many of the protesters on Wednesday directed their fury at Pence, who had refused to comply with Trump's demands and find a way to block the certification of Biden's win.
