Dr. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jordan-peterson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jordan B. Peterson</a> said that he will move to broadcast publicly the social media training he was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jordan-peterson-unloads-on-canadian-court-after-it-backs-psychologist-org-attempting-to-censor-him" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ordered to undergo</a> by a ​​psychologist governing body that targeted Peterson for criticizing transgender ideology, climate alarmism, and the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/canada" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Canadian</a> government. 
Peterson <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/jordan-peterson-plans-broadcast-court-ordered-social-media-training-public-decide-themselves" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> Fox News host Jesse Watters on Thursday that he hoped to film or audio record all sessions of the court-upheld social media training. Last week, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jordan-peterson-unloads-on-canadian-court-after-it-backs-psychologist-org-attempting-to-censor-him" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ruled that</a> the College of Psychologists of Ontario could mandate Peterson to go through a so-called “specified continuing education or remedial program.” 
&#8220;I&#8217;m going to do everything I can to make all of this as public as I possibly can,&#8221; he told Watters. &#8220;I have done that from the beginning. I released all the documents that included the charges, so to speak, that the college has levied against me. I want to make this 100% transparent and let the public decide for themselves who exactly is acting, let’s say, in an unprofessional capacity.&#8221;
&#8220;My plan is to make everything that&#8217;s done to me public and if I can do that by filming, well, then, I&#8217;ll do that,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;Everything that happens is going to be made public. It is absolutely necessary.&#8221;
The College of Psychologists is not punishing Peterson for any interactions with patients; rather it is censuring, fining, and attempting to “reeducate” him for public comments he made, including on social media and during podcast appearances. 
Some of Peterson’s supposed offenses, according to the College of Psychologists, included retweeting Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre’s criticism of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, criticizing a former senior Trudeau aide, and expressing opposition to the idea of the Ottawa police taking custody of the children of Trucker Convoy protesters.
Other supposed offenses do not involve direct criticism of the Canadian government, such as Peterson saying on Joe Rogan’s podcast that accepting radical gender theory is a sign of “civilizations collapsing,” calling climate change models unreliable, and criticizing Sports Illustrated for putting a plus-sized swimsuit model on the cover.

Peterson told Watters that he wouldn’t back down from speaking out, especially on the negative impact the transgender movement had on young people. 
&#8220;I’m perfectly willing to state that I am stating my opinions on Twitter and social media in my professional capacity,&#8221; Peterson said. &#8220;So, for example, the comments I made about Ellen Page, you know, I’m not the least bit happy about what the sadistic surgeon butchers are doing to minors, and I’m also not very happy about narcissistic, let’s say, celebrities parading off their new, surgically enhanced body and enticing young women, for example, into becoming sterilized and butchered, so I think I have a professional obligation like all therapists and all physicians to say very clearly that this is 100% absolutely not acceptable.&#8221;

Fox News announced on Monday that host Jesse Watters would take over the 8 p.m. timeslot that was vacated after host Tucker Carlson was ousted from the company in late April.
The new primetime schedule will feature Laura Ingraham at 7 p.m., Sean Hannity at 9 p.m., Greg Gutfeld at 10 p.m. and Trace Gallagher hosting the news hour at 11 p.m.

“Fox News Channel has been America’s destination for news and analysis for more than 21 years and we are thrilled to debut a new lineup,” Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/media/fox-news-taps-jesse-watters-succeed-ousted-host-tucker-carlson-key-pri-rcna91163">stated</a>. “The unique perspectives of Laura Ingraham, Jesse Watters, Sean Hannity, and Greg Gutfeld will ensure our viewers have access to unrivaled coverage from our best-in-class team for years to come.”
“FOX News Media and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways,” Fox News said in a statement announcing Carlson’s exit on April 24. &#8220;We thank him for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor. Mr. Carlson’s last program was Friday April 21st. Fox News Tonight will air live at 8 PM/ET starting this evening as an interim show helmed by rotating FOX News personalities until a new host is named.&#8221;
A source informed The Daily Wire that Carlson&#8217;s staff was unaware that he would be ousted and only were apprised of the news when Carlson sent an email. Carlson’s ouster followed Fox News settling a lawsuit with Dominion Voting Systems for almost $800 million; Carlson was expected to testify if the lawsuit had gone forward.
In the immediate aftermath of Carlson’s departure, the stock of Fox Corporation, the parent company of Fox News Channel, plummeted $1 billion.
In the first quarter of 2023, &#8220;Tucker Carlson Tonight&#8221; ranked as the highest-rated program in cable news in the younger 25-54 demo, averaging 3.2 million viewers, 443,000 in the demo and 299,000 in the 18-49 category. In that same period, Fox News “The Five” averaged 3,058,000 viewers, “Jesse Watters Primetime” averaged 2,670,000 viewers, “Hannity” drew 2,505,000, and “Special Report with Bret Baier” drew 2,200,000.
Watters joined Fox News in 2002, where he worked as a correspondent for “The O’Reilly Factor” doing man-on-the-street interviews. In 2017, he became the host of “Watters’ World” on Saturday nights and was also chosen as co-host of “The Five.” “The Five” is now Fox News’ <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/fox-news-names-jesse-watters-to-replace-tucker-carlson-as-anchor-of-8-p-m-hour-75a72fce">highest-rated program</a>.

Fox News host Jesse Watters grilled Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) during an interview on Wednesday for supporting a bill that he did not realize that he had co-signed.
The RESTRICT Act, which was created by Congress to effectively allow the Secretary of Commerce to ban TikTok and other foreign threats from the U.S., has faced backlash in recent days over what the bill could mean for Americans&#8217; freedoms.
&#8220;Let&#8217;s try to get some answers out of the Senator Lindsey Graham, who supports this and is here now,&#8221; Watters said. &#8220;You got to be kidding me, Senator. Did you read this?&#8221;
&#8220;Yeah, I don&#8217;t think I support the RESTRICT Act,&#8221; Graham said.
&#8220;You don&#8217;t support this?&#8221; Watters asked. &#8220;Because you are named as one of those supporters [and] this is garbage.&#8221;
A couple minutes later Watters appeared to take a swipe at Graham, saying: &#8220;Maybe it&#8217;s like Fetterman when your chief of staff does all your work for you.&#8221;

TRANSCRIPT:
<blockquote>JESSE WATTERS, FOX NEWS HOST: Let&#8217;s try to get some answers out of the Senator Lindsey Graham, who supports this and is here now. You got to be kidding me, Senator. Did you read this?
SEN. LINDSEY GRAHAM (R-SC): Yeah, I don&#8217;t think I support the RESTRICT act.
WATTERS: You don&#8217;t support this, because you are named as one of those supporters? Because this is garbage.
GRAHAM: Is this the one with John? There&#8217;s two bills out there. One allows a review of businesses that are connected to China, gives the Secretary the ability to protect our data. Is that the RESTRICT Act?
WATTERS: We got S686, right here. March 7 and we got a bunch of Republicans supporting it. Because this thing is crazy town. You don&#8217;t want the government looking into your private phone?
GRAHAM: No, I don&#8217;t and they can&#8217;t.
WATTERS: If they have a hunch you&#8217;re colluding with the Russians, we remember how that turned out.
GRAHAM: Yeah, no. Well, the Constitution trump&#8217;s a statute. So let me come back and, you know, give you a better explanation. Here&#8217;s the problem as I see it. China is the parent company of TikTok. And my nieces like TikTok. I don&#8217;t mind them using TikTok. I just don&#8217;t want the Chinese government to seize all their data and manipulate the information America sees for political purposes. China is helping drug cartels in Mexico. China is not a friend. Chinese espionage is at an all time high against American business interests. So I want to push back against China, but within a constitutional framework, you&#8217;re right about that. So you made these allegations, and I&#8217;ll come answer better next time.
WATTERS: I mean, because on Congress.gov, you&#8217;re listed as one of the co-sponsors of this thing. Maybe it&#8217;s like Fetterman when your chief of staff does all your work for you, but Senator, you got to go back and talk to these other senators about this. This thing is nuts. And it&#8217;s gonna get abused like it always does. So we got to clean this up. Can we clean this up?
GRAHAM: Well, yeah, I mean, number one, yeah, I owe you a better explanation [than] I&#8217;m giving you. John Thune has got a bill to make sure the Secretary of Commerce can deal with this, not just TikTok. But the general idea that China, we&#8217;re under attack by China. Now, that&#8217;s a fact. Chinese Communist Party is stealing American data, espionage against American businesses is at an all time. According to the FBI, it&#8217;s the number one challenge they face. China&#8217;s providing drug precursors to make fentanyl in Mexico that&#8217;s killing Americans. So yeah, I&#8217;m definitely going to push back against China being able to steal your data, but I want to do it in a constitutionally sound manner. So the problem is real with China, but the solution can be more damaging than the price.
WATTERS: Don&#8217;t push back on the United States&#8217; citizens for something China is doing.</blockquote>

Fox News host <a href="http://www.dailywire.com.topic/jesse-watters/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jesse Watters</a> said on Wednesday that New York might be in better shape if the state were to dump current Democratic Governor <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/hochul-wont-hire-back-unvaxxed-health-care-workers-despite-overturned-mandate-worker-shortage/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kathy Hochul</a> and bring back disgraced former Governor Eliot Spitzer, who was also a Democrat.
Spitzer earned a reputation for holding financial services professionals accountable and rooting out corruption while serving as attorney general of New York — becoming known as the &#8220;Sheriff of Wall Street&#8221; before he became governor in 2007. He <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2006/11/07/nyregion/08york.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">won in a landslide</a>, earning 69% of the vote — but <a href="https://www.npr.org/2008/03/12/88134976/spitzer-resigns-after-sex-scandal-pressure" target="_blank" rel="noopener">resigned</a> after serving less than two years following reports that he had patronized a prostitution ring.
Watters referenced Spitzer during Wednesday&#8217;s broadcast of the network&#8217;s popular afternoon panel show &#8220;The Five,&#8221; during a conversation about Hochul&#8217;s refusal to reinstate medical professionals who were fired for failing to comply with vaccine mandates even though the state has since dropped the mandates.
Judge Jeanine Pirro quoted Hochul, who explained her decision by claiming that healthcare professionals who did not have the COVID vaccine were putting patients at risk of developing COVID while they were receiving care.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
NY Gov. Kathy Hochul says she won&#39;t hire unvaccinated healthcare workers despite the mandate being overturned:
&quot;I don’t think the answer is to have someone who comes in who is sick be exposed to someone who can give them COVID-19.&quot;<a href="https://t.co/qy6UICxGd4">pic.twitter.com/qy6UICxGd4</a>
&mdash; Daily Wire (@realDailyWire) <a href="https://twitter.com/realDailyWire/status/1617925432111951873?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 24, 2023</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
After airing a clip of Hochul&#8217;s comments, Pirro and her co-hosts discussed the fact that the vaccines have been proven to not stop transmission of the virus.
&#8220;She doesn’t know that vaxxed and unvaxxed can still transmit the virus? She doesn’t know that, and she’s the governor?&#8221; Watters asked. &#8220;I mean, what an idiot. Let’s say I go into the ER with a gunshot wound, and I’m bleeding out, you think I care if the nurse is unvaxxed? I think bullets are more dangerous than the ‘rona virus.&#8221;
Watters went on to tie in bail reform and the state&#8217;s still-rampant crime problem, saying, &#8220;We’re [more] afraid of people getting shot than we’re afraid of COVID at this point.&#8221;
That was when he suggested New Yorkers might fare better under the leadership of former Governor Spitzer, saying, &#8220;I don’t care if he sleeps with escorts. He was smart.&#8221;

Barstool Sports personality Francis Ellis bashed <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/chelsea-clinton-claims-her-family-is-the-reason-that-fox-news-was-created/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News</a> hosts <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/everyones-dead-watters-and-gutfeld-spar-over-drug-legalization/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jesse Watters</a> and <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/hilarious-and-sad-hollywood-a-lister-mocked-for-saying-tucker-carlson-haunts-her-nightmares/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tucker Carlson</a> — and mocked the network&#8217;s audience as stupid — on a hot mic just days after making an appearance on Watters&#8217; show.
Ellis, who hosts Barstool&#8217;s &#8220;Oops the Podcast,&#8221; may have created new fodder for his own show with the comments that aired on Tuesday&#8217;s episode of &#8220;Barstool Rundown,&#8221; accusing the network that has invited him on as a guest — multiple times — of &#8220;trafficking in hate.&#8221;
Mediaite obtained the unedited audio, which can be heard below.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Co-host Adam Ferrone, after signaling the end of the show, asked Ellis about his most recent hit on Watters&#8217; show, &#8220;Jesse Watters Primetime,&#8221; on Monday.
&#8220;He wanted me to talk about how Democrats in Massachusetts want to lower the voting age to 16,&#8221; Ellis answered, explaining that he had weighed in with a Q-Anon joke and one referencing &#8220;To Catch a Predator,&#8221; but that overall, he didn&#8217;t feel great about the segment. &#8220;I just couldn’t get my feet under me. And I was like, I’m trying too hard.&#8221;
The hosts then asked what Ellis would do if Fox News offered him a &#8220;man-on-the-street&#8221; gig — mirroring how Watters had started out on the air with former network host Bill O&#8217;Reilly — and Ellis claimed they had offered that and he had turned them down.
&#8220;But what if they offered you not just a segment, but what if they’re like, ‘Francis, we want you to do the eight o’clock to nine o’clock hour!’” Ferrone upped the ante, and Ellis said he would consider that.
But then Ellis pivoted to attack Fox News — and the hosts who have given him airtime — saying, &#8220;Look, I got home. I talked my wife about it &#8217;cause I was disappointed in myself and she was like, ‘Let’s be honest, like, do you want to be working with these f***ing people?’ She was like, ‘I watched the rest of his show — he’s a f***ing joke.’”
&#8220;This is still part of the &#8216;Rundown,’” Ferrone said, and another voice confirmed, &#8220;Still rolling, baby!&#8221;
&#8220;And then like, Tucker comes on and just screams,&#8221; Ellis continued. &#8220;It’s so weird. &#8230; They’re just trafficking in hate.&#8221;
Ellis did not stop the attack, instead redirecting it toward the Fox News audience — which he suggested was comprised of people too stupid to realize that he was intentionally screwing with them.
&#8220;I think last night I went into a place that I shouldn’t have gone to,&#8221; he admitted before adding, &#8220;No, because last night I was like, yes, the Democrats are like eating children beneath pizza shops. There are people watching that, who don’t know that I’m f***ing with them. They’re like, &#8216;Finally a young, handsome person is saying it!’”

Fox News host <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/topic/jesse-watters/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jesse Watters</a> directed men to &#8220;put a ring on it,&#8221; suggesting that if more of them got married, more women would vote Republican.
<a href="https://dailywire.com/news/jesse-watters-unloads-on-biden-over-student-debt-he-cant-steal-nancys-purse-and-start-bribing-people-before-an-election/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Watters</a> was responding to exit polling data from Tuesday&#8217;s midterm elections that indicated a hefty majority of single women broke for the Democratic candidates while married women and married men overwhelmingly voted for their Republican opponents.

&#8220;Single women are breaking for Democrats by thirty points,&#8221; Watters observed, adding, &#8220;And this makes sense, when you think about how Democrat policies are designed to keep women single.&#8221;
&#8220;But once women get married, they vote Republican,&#8221; the &#8220;Jesse Watters Primetime&#8221; host continued. &#8220;Married women, married men, go for Republicans by double digits. But single women and voters under 40 have been captured by Democrats — so we need these ladies to get married.&#8221;
&#8220;It&#8217;s time to fall in love and just settle down,&#8221; Watters concluded, saying, &#8220;Guys, go put a ring on it.&#8221;
According to a CNN <a href="https://www.cnn.com/election/2022/exit-polls/national-results/house/21" target="_blank" rel="noopener">exit poll</a> — which surveyed over 18,000 voters — nearly 70% of single women voted Democrat on Tuesday. The Federalist&#8217;s Mollie Hemingway, like Watters, noted that this disparity gave Democrats a rather large incentive to promote policies that kept women single.
&#8220;One of the fascinating things about our ongoing political realignment is the massive political incentive Democrats have to keep women unmarried,&#8221; she said.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Both Watters and Hemingway were right to direct the focus to Democrat-backed policies. Many welfare programs — and tax incentives that <a href="https://www.heritage.org/welfare/report/how-welfare-undermines-marriage-and-what-do-about-it" target="_blank" rel="noopener">disproportionately benefit single parents</a> over married couples, abortion-on-demand, and subsidized child care and health care programs — offer a number of financial benefits that not only cater to single parents, but diminish greatly or disappear entirely if those single parents ever marry.
Critics attacked Watters for his comments, however, claiming that he only wanted women to get married so that they would fall in line and vote the way their husbands directed them to.
&#8220;Good Lord. They are losing single female voters who are too intelligent to become Stepford wives to MAGA men, so their solution is to force them into the kitchen, barefoot, married, &amp; pregnant. This is the Christofascist playbook,&#8221; one woman <a href="https://twitter.com/HawaiiDelilah/status/1590726345121681408" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claimed</a> in a tweet.

California Governor <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/newsom-signs-bill-getting-rid-of-plastic-produce-bags/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gavin Newsom</a> (D) called out Fox News host <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/jesse-watters-unloads-on-biden-over-student-debt-he-cant-steal-nancys-purse-and-start-bribing-people-before-an-election/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jesse Watters</a>, blaming him personally for &#8220;aiding and abetting&#8221; the alleged violent attack against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi&#8217;s husband, Paul Pelosi.
Newsom argued that Watters, among others, had &#8220;dehumanized&#8221; Speaker Pelosi — and he claimed that had helped to foster a climate where political violence seemed reasonable.

&#8220;I’ve seen the dehumanization of Nancy Pelosi. I don’t think anyone’s been dehumanized like she has consistently. I watched this one guy, Jesse Watters or something on Fox News, and what he’s been saying about Paul Pelosi the last five, six months, mocking him consistently. Don’t tell me that’s not aiding and abetting all of this. Of course it is,&#8221; Newsom argued.
&#8220;They’re sowing the seeds, they’re creating a culture and climate like this,&#8221; the California Governor continued. &#8220;I mean, look online. Look at the sewage that is online that they amplify on these networks and in social media to dehumanize people like Nancy Pelosi and other political leaders.&#8221;
Watters responded during his Monday evening broadcast of &#8220;Jesse Watters Primetime,&#8221; saying, &#8220;Gavin Newsom thinks if you mock a Democrat, it puts them on a target list. We’ve always said, Gavin’s biggest flaw? He’s not very smart.&#8221;
Newsom was far from the only person to blame Republicans in the aftermath of the attack. President Joe Biden argued that rhetoric from the far right was driving more people to political violence — and MSNBC anchor Andrea Mitchell claimed that the man who allegedly attacked Pelosi was driven by the same rhetoric that had led to the January 6th riot on Capitol Hill.
CBS anchor Margaret Brennan took things a bit further during Sunday morning&#8217;s broadcast of &#8220;Face the Nation,&#8221; asking Congressman Tom Emmer (R-MN) whether Republican ads blaming Pelosi for years of bad policies might be pushing more people toward violence.

&#8220;I never saw anyone, after Steve Scalise was shot by a Bernie Sanders supporter —&#8221; Emmer said, but Brennan interrupted.
&#8220;I&#8217;m talking about right now!&#8221; she said. &#8220;It just is happening now.&#8221;
&#8221; — equate Democrat rhetoric with those actions,&#8221; Emmer continued. &#8220;Please don&#8217;t do that.&#8221;
&#8220;No, no, okay,&#8221; Brennan pushed back. &#8220;Looking at your candidates, Republican candidates have spent more than $116 million on ads that mention Speaker Pelosi by name in this cycle. If this is about the issues, why shouldn&#8217;t you make it about the issues? Why not depersonalize it?&#8221;
Brennan continued to argue that Republicans should refrain from naming Pelosi in ads in order to keep people from potentially targeting her.

Cruz joined Fox News host <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/topic/jesse-watters/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jesse Watters</a> for the Tuesday broadcast of &#8220;Jesse Watters Primetime,&#8221; and he addressed the ongoing crisis at the <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/texas-democrat-says-biden-admin-needs-to-turn-more-people-away-at-border/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">U.S.-Mexico border</a> — an issue about which he said &#8220;Joe Biden doesn&#8217;t give a damn.&#8221;

&#8220;Look, I know that Democrats have one card in their entire deck, and it&#8217;s the race card. They scream racist, racist, racist,&#8221; Cruz began.
&#8220;But you know what, President Obama, you know what, President Biden? You know what&#8217;s racist?&#8221; Cruz asked. &#8220;When Joe Biden sits by and lets four and a half million people cross into this country illegally and he doesn&#8217;t care. You know what&#8217;s racist? When Joe Biden can&#8217;t be bothered to go down to the border and see the little girls and little boys being sexually assaulted by international cartels.&#8221;
&#8220;You know what&#8217;s racist?&#8221; Cruz continued without stopping to take a breath. &#8220;When Joe Biden doesn&#8217;t care about the Hispanic women being raped by the cartels. You know what&#8217;s racist? When Biden doesn&#8217;t care about the dead bodies that the cartels leave on Texas farms and ranches across the southern border. You know what&#8217;s racist? That Biden will do nothing to stop the 100,000 fentanyl overdoses that happened last year.&#8221;
&#8220;That is grotesque — and you know what&#8217;s racist?&#8221; Cruz added one more example. &#8220;When all the lily-white folks on Martha&#8217;s Vineyard sit back and say, &#8216;No, no, no, we don&#8217;t want any illegal immigrants here. Send them to South Texas, they can deal with it.’ That is grotesque, it&#8217;s offensive, and even to this day Joe Biden doesn&#8217;t give a damn.&#8221;
Watters responded to Cruz&#8217;s lengthy rant by saying he hadn&#8217;t seen the Texas Senator get quite that worked up in a very long time — and Cruz explained that even though Biden had not been to the border and seen firsthand the women and children who were being raped and trafficked by coyotes and cartels, he had.
Cruz concluded by noting that when the illegal immigrants were flown into Martha&#8217;s Vineyard, authorities there had moved to &#8220;deport&#8221; them to a military base within 24 hours — and he wondered whether Texas could do the same.
&#8220;Can we send them back?&#8221; he asked. &#8220;Oh, no, no, no, that&#8217;s just for rich billionaire leftists who the only time they&#8217;re willing to see an immigrant is if they want someone to mow their damn lawn.&#8221;

Fox News host <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/topic/jesse-watters/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jesse Watters</a> accused President <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> of turning the &#8220;War on Terror&#8221; into all-out war against Republicans — and adopting the same language that had previously been reserved for terrorists in the process.
Watters unloaded on the president during his Monday evening monologue, arguing that Biden&#8217;s language when attacking the opposing political party bore a striking resemblance to the language used by former President <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/topic/george-w-bush/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">George W. Bush</a> in the aftermath of the 9/11 terror attacks on American soil.

Watters shared several clips — including one of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas — recognizing the 21st anniversary of the 9/11 attacks and making an immediate pivot to invoke the January 6th riot on Capitol Hill.
&#8220;When 9/11 occurred in those — in those years, we were very focused on the foreign terrorist. Now we are seeing an emerging threat, of course over the last several years of the domestic violent extremist, an ideology of hate,&#8221; Mayorkas said in the clip. &#8220;Antigovernment sentiment. False narratives propagated on online platforms. Even personal grievances.&#8221;
&#8220;That was a sitting U.S. Senator the former Secretary of State, and the Secretary of Homeland Security just casually pivoting from 9/11 to January 6th. Did you guys notice how casual that was?&#8221; Watters observed. &#8220;They just said Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is Stephen Miller with a beard.&#8221;
&#8220;I remember during the Bush years when Democrats would howl at Republicans for &#8216;politicizing 9/11&#8217; because they wore a little flag pin,&#8221; Watters continued. &#8220;Now Democrats declared a war on terror against Republicans on the anniversary of 9/11. What makes you a terrorist again? Because you have personal grievances? Well, I have a personal grievance, is that going to put me on a no-fly list? You are a terrorist for believing in false narratives? If I believe Hunter’s laptop is real am I going to Gitmo? And the big guy sounds like W., except the enemy is a red hat instead of a box cutter.&#8221;
Watters went on to share a series of clips side by side — of former President George W. Bush referring to terrorists and of President Joe Biden referring to &#8220;MAGA Republicans&#8221; — to show just how similar their words have been.
George W. Bush: &#8220;I will not wait on events while dangers gather. I will not stand by as peril draws closer and closer.&#8221;
Joe Biden: &#8220;I will not stand by and watch. I will not stand by and watch elections in this country stolen by people who simply refuse to accept that they lost.&#8221;
George W. Bush: &#8220;They embrace tyranny and death as a cause and a creed. We stand for a different choice.&#8221;
Joe Biden: &#8220;MAGA Republicans have made their choice, they embrace anger, they thrive on chaos, they live not in the light of truth but in the shadow of lies.&#8221;
&#8220;This is Biden’s war on terror,&#8221; Watters concluded. &#8220;He&#8217;s straight up saying, &#8216;You&#8217;re either with us or you&#8217;re against us.'&#8221;

Watters addressed the topic with his co-hosts on the network&#8217;s popular rush-hour panel show &#8220;The Five&#8221; — and he argued that the move was unconstitutional and would only really benefit graduate degree-holders who were pulling down <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/bidens-student-loan-cancellation-would-cost-330-billion-and-largely-help-the-wealthy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">six-figure incomes</a>.

“I want to congratulate all the rich whites with graduate degrees who are living on the coast making six figures. You really are the forgotten men and women of this country and you finally now have a president who feels your pain,” Watters said in mocking tones. “Spending most of your 20s in school, now finally making close to $125,000. Man, I mean, what would they do without Joe Biden?”
Watters went on to ask why, if Americans truly were living in the great economy Democrats appeared to believe they were, anyone needed to have student debts forgiven in the first place.
“It doesn’t make any sense. You cannot raid the treasury and then cut checks to your favorite voters. Where did Biden give the power as the president to spend half a trillion dollars? That’s Congress’ job. He cannot steal Nancy’s purse and then to start bribing people before an election. That’s an abuse of power and it’s unconstitutional. Nancy even said it was unconstitutional,” Watters continued, noting that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) had previously said Biden did not have the power to unilaterally forgive student debt.
“This is reverse class warfare. It&#8217;s like, I don’t know, you rob the poor to pay the rich. You’re going to get a plumber’s family to pay off the loan of a graduate school family that’s making a quarter million dollars a year? Why should I have to pay, or anybody have to pay, for my neighbor&#8217;s graduate degree?” Watters asked. “You look across the street, you see your neighbor’s daughter, she just backed into your mailbox, she’s always been an idiot, and now you have to pay for her to get an advanced degree in Estonian poetry? It doesn’t make any sense at all.”
Watters concluded by saying that it was only going to get worse — and the next time it would be more than $10,000 per borrower — and he argued that it was different than delivering tax cuts across the board.
“This is a lot different than tax cuts. Everybody gets a tax cut. Everybody that pays taxes gets the tax cut when the taxes get cut. It’s not like Donald Trump cut taxes for males in the swing states of Ohio and Florida and North Carolina three months before the midterms,” he said.

According to reports, Oregon saw a 41% increase in fatal drug overdoses between 2020 and 2021, after decriminalizing small amounts of nearly all drugs — despite the fact that the state also increased access to drug treatment and counseling programs.
Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/portland-drug-decriminalization-effort-tragedy">reported</a> that the new law, passed in 2020, reduced possession of small amounts of certain drugs — heroin, meth, cocaine and fentanyl — to a Class E violation. That would carry a possible fine of up to $100, which would be dismissed if the person receiving the fine calls Lines for Life and seeks a health evaluation.
&#8220;This is what happens when drugs are illegal,&#8221; <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/permission-to-go-off-greg-gutfeld-drops-the-hammer-on-biden-says-hes-lost-the-sense-of-what-america-is/">Gutfeld</a> said, arguing that the problem was the fact that even when small amounts of the drugs were decriminalized, the street drugs were still often full of toxic additives or mixed with other drugs.
&#8220;All of these poisonings are street concoctions. We always just say, &#8216;Oh, it’s opiates.&#8217; But it’s actually a toxic poison, it’s street fentanyl. This is not prescription stuff,&#8221; Gutfeld said, going on to argue that loosening restrictions on prescription drugs could lead to addicts using safer products.
&#8220;We&#8217;re doing just the same thing with ghost guns and law-abiding gun. Were punishing the law-abiding user because there are people using illegally. It’s the same thing with guns that we&#8217;re doing a drugs. Lower the restrictions, make it OTC,&#8221; Gutfeld argued.
&#8220;I am not buying this libertarian mumbo-jumbo,&#8221; Watters pushed back.
&#8220;What? It’s called facts,&#8221; Gutfeld objected.
&#8220;This is a perfect example of libertarianism gone wrong. Greg has been singing the song ever since I came on &#8216;The Five.&#8217; &#8216;Legalize drugs, legalize drugs, decriminalize it.'&#8221; Watters continued. &#8220;They did it. Oregon listened to Gutfeld. Now, look at Oregon. Everyone’s dead. That’s what happens when you listen to Greg. You die.&#8221;
&#8220;What I’m saying is, if somebody’s actually using a safe drug, this doesn’t happen,&#8221; Gutfeld protested.
&#8220;Is heroin a safe drug?&#8221; co-host Jeanine Pirro asked.
&#8220;People actually take heroin, yes. Do you know that fentanyl is actually a drug that is prescribed? Are you aware of that?&#8221; Gutfeld asked.
Watters continued to argue, telling Gutfeld that he was still wrong — and then co-host Dana Perino jumped in: &#8220;If you do what Greg says, you don’t get the crap from China.&#8221;
&#8220;That’s my point,&#8221; Gutfeld agreed.

Fox News host Jesse Watters wasn&#8217;t quite convinced when &#8220;The Five&#8221; co-host Geraldo Rivera floated an age-based weapons ban that would prevent 18-year-olds from purchasing certain firearms.
Rivera cited the ages of several recent <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/breaking-shooting-at-texas-elementary-school-leaves-at-least-15-dead/">mass shooting suspects</a> and argued that even at 18, teenagers were not mature enough to be trusted with certain types of weapons — but Watters pushed back, arguing that if they were old enough to die for their country, they should be old enough to exercise their constitutional rights.

Judge Jeanine Pirro began the segment by asking Rivera what measures he thought schools should implement in their efforts to keep students safe, and he said that the unfortunate reality — as several of his co-hosts had already noted — that people intent on causing harm often found a way around such security measure in order to do it.
Rivera then reflected briefly on gubernatorial hopeful Beto O&#8217;Rourke (D-TX) — who crashed Governor Greg Abbott&#8217;s Wednesday <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/very-clearly-staged-cbs-reporter-says-beto-used-seat-holders-to-slip-into-abbott-presser-unnoticed/">press conference</a> to scold him for failing to enact gun control measures — and President Joe Biden, who <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/its-just-sick-biden-uses-school-shooting-address-to-slam-gun-lobby/">took aim</a> at the &#8220;gun lobby&#8221; during his Tuesday remarks addressing the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas.
&#8220;What is offensive about Beto O’Rourke — and to a different degree to the President of the United States is railing against the gun lobby last night — no one is suggesting anything that really can guarantee total protection for our children,&#8221; Rivera continued. &#8220;But we can suggest some concrete steps.&#8221;
Rivera went on to say that it was important to &#8220;recognize the erratic nature of teenagers,&#8221; and he listed off the ages of several recent mass shooting suspects before suggesting &#8220;a Juvenile assault weapons ban.&#8221;
&#8220;If you can&#8217;t buy a beer, if you can&#8217;t get a license to drive a semi, until you are 21, how is it okay for you to be able to buy legally a weapon of war, an assault weapon when you are 18?&#8221; Rivera asked.
&#8220;Well, you can fight and die for your country at 18,&#8221; Watters pushed back.
&#8220;But then you&#8217;re monitored by corporals and sergeants and officers —&#8221; Rivera continued.
&#8220;You can’t get a handgun until you are 21 legally,&#8221; co-host Martha MacCallum objected.
&#8220;They don’t use a handgun,&#8221; Rivera protested. &#8220;These people only use handguns when they run out of ammo in the long guns. &#8230; Juvenile assault weapons ban do something. This could be Republicans and Democrats together, Right, Left, red, blue —&#8221;
&#8220;You are stripping a Constitutional right away from law abiding citizens because of some wacko,&#8221; Watters pointed out, still apparently unconvinced.
