[applause] [♪] jesse: welcome to "watters world." i'm jesse watters. absurdity in america. we read about things that 5, 10, 15 years ago we would say it's impossible. but in 2017 the impossible is possible. we compiled the most absurd things that occurred this week to show you how straight up ridiculous things have gotten. let's begin. at the white house press briefing urban radio network's

reporter asked president trump's spokesperson the following question. >> does the president believe slavery was wrong. jesse: did you hear that? >> does this president believe slavery was wrong? jesse: what the hell kiernld of question is that? here is how sarah sanders responded. >> i think it's disgusting and absurd to suggest that anyone inside this building would support live are you. jesse: recall how the left is trying to remove monuments of our founding fathers. but they want to erect a man siewment to former d.c. their marion barry. in case you don't remember, he was caught in a drug sting

smoking crack. he got locked up for that. the mayor has passed. the cost of the statue. $300,000. so thomas jefferson statue no, marion barry statue, yes. moving on. this week a muslim terrorist mowed down 8 people in his van in new york city. thankfully an nypd officer shot him. and he asked to fly and isis flag in his hospital room. the president tweeted this. the "wall street journal" reporter took issue with the president's call for the death penalty. >> the unifying threat is the broader politics of donald trump, the ethnocentric nationalism. he did not react this way when a

white person shot dozens of people in las vegas. he did not come and say we have to do an immediate policy change, we need to give this guy the death penalty. jesse: donald trump didn't call for the death penalty because the las vegas short killed himself. malcolm nance says this after the nypd attack. >> what you are seeing is not islam. none of this is condoned including the sacrificing and getting yourself killed at the ends of the terror attack. 10 christians, we have seen catholics in canada who converted to islam and carried out acts of terror. jesse: a muslim-american who

yelled allahu akbar and killed 8 people. how do you get a tech job at the dnc? don't be a straight white male. the democratic national committee date ra service manager wrote an email look fortress mays to fill their tech positions. she had one small qualification. i personally prefer you would not forward to characteristics sgender straight white males. as they are already in th -- ine majority. can you imagine if they sent an seem saying gay blacks may not apply.

their qualification should be don't get attacked again. finally, not in america but absurd not less. a prominent egyptian lawyer went on television and said it's a man's duty to rape a woman if she dresses provocatively. the lawyer is not even backing down. he says he's protecting morals. that, my friends is absurd. joining me now, conservative columnist, ann coulter. any reaction? >> if i can say one thing about the man thing. i always imagined the terrorists

getting so frustrated. they are yelling ala across bar, asking to fly the isis flag. they must be sitting in isisland asking what do we have to do? isis did criticize obama for claiming the fort hood slaughter -- jesse: was workplace violence. give us the credit we deserve. we talked about the terror attack in downtown manhattan. apparently he came here from a diversity lottery program. president trump: i'm

this is a fox news alert. i'm marianne in los angeles president donald trump just landing in tokyo part of the trip to asia. he just landed at a golf course planning to meet with prime minister and the two were expected to have lunch and a round of golf. air force one touching down less than an hour ago and the president and first lady flying in from hawaii. shortly after his arrival in japan the president spoke to a very enthusiastic group of us troops who had been waiting for more than one hour to hear him speak for the president spoke to those troops they had a gift for him and then he got a round of applause after a strong statement. >> you embody the warrior creed. your devotion, and expertise make you the most fearsome fighting force in the history of our world.

together, with our allies, america's warriors are prepared to defend our nation using the full range of our unmatched capabilities. no one, no dictator, no regime and notation should underestimate ever american resolve. >> golf with prime minister is next and it's on the president's agenda. he will be playing golf with the prime minister and also japanese pro golfer [inaudible] after a quick lunch. melania trump heading off to.. meet fans first lady, as well on the strip. we will certainly keep you posted on everything going on with the o president's trip to asia. for now, back to "watters' world" already in progress. populated america, i.e., western

europeans because the 1965 immigration act basically shut down white immigration to america. the original idea is we are not getting anyone from england. let's have a diversity lottery. jesse: they already speak english. >> and they don't think it's a man's duty to rape a woman dressing provocatively. within a few years it completely flipped. the ones who are on the 8 department terrorist list, those are the winners of the diversity lottery. that's bad enough that we are going to put all of the countries on the 8 department terrorist lottery. by the's a powerball. we get 20 million applications a year.

7% of all immigrants from the united states, you are coming in from one of the worst countries in the world and we are going to randomly pick your name out of a hat. we are already a diverse country. >> i have got to correct you. i know we have been told this he dave our lives. there is nothing good about diversity. every place there is diversity there is civil war and countries are breaking up. it's never been a good thing. in the history of the world all over the world. look at just ireland. they are all irish and the catholics and the protestants can't get along. they are not melting and we have enough of them. it's not a good thing. we can learn to deal with it. jesse: i'm saying diversity

should be here, then i say ability to speak english, education, vocational abilities. >> who does not think it's a man's duty to rape a woman dressing provocatively. jesse: this issue of chain migration. it is policy in this country. the president addressed it on lawyer r -- on laura ingraham's show. president trump: this animal, he was only in with a green card, a chain migration where his whole family comes in. his mother, this father, this grandfather. chain migration is a disaster for this country and it's going to end. jesse: the terrorist hits the lottery and he gets to bring in

more of his friends. >> guess how many immigrants come in not because we want them but because what he approve them. i'm the third cousin. we are bringing in entire tribes. that's why cab drivers in minneapolis won't drive you if you have alcohol or a dog. what percentage of immigrants we legally take in every year just because they say i am related to someone you took in 10 years ago. 77%, and most of americans don't know that. 77 -- 72% come in on average from chain migration, i.e., this is my brother-in-law and he doesn't have a job and i would like to come in and accept welfare.

jesse: how many people did this man bring in? >> 23. jesse: from uzbekistan as well? >> there may be been another uzbek. once he gets one in, the next one can have miss relatives. if you follow this guy's life. he place he goes -- i had no idea we had so many uzbeks in ohio. he's living with all uzbeks. his friends are all uzbeks. we are not melting. jesse: you have coal miners in this country who are out of work and we are bringing in uzbeks into america and they are causing a lot of problems. >> even before they commit terrorism. there is a big problem with the left. even when they are not mowing down pedestrians or flying

planes into the world trade center, they are accepting welfare, they are bringing in relatives who accept welfare. marianne: i marion, were alive to president donald trump who is in tokyo right now meeting with prime minister they're about to have lunch and were told they just greeted each other and they exchanged pleasantries and signed autographs for each other. next on the agenda the president is expected to have lunch with the prime minister and then play a round of golf where we are told they will probably be discussing issues relating to us and japan relations, among other things, perhaps north korea, as well. we will follow this throughout the night. keep it here for the very latest

jesse: a new book by former dnc chairwoman, donna brazile, claims hillary clinton rigged the party's nomination process. she wrote she invested in the dnc and would control party's finance, strategy, and all the money raids. and would make final decisions on all the other staff. even pocahontas is disgusted. >> we have to hold this party accountable. >> do you agree with the notion it was rigged? >> yes. jesse: pocahontas just stated that hillary clinton rigged the

primary. joining me, tomi lahren and liz swift. tomi, i will begin with you. hillary can't say this is a vast right wing conspiracy. this is the democratic party admitting she rigged the election against bernie. >> and she still lost. jesse: she is incompetent. if she could rig a primary against bernie, why wouldn't she try to rig a general against donald trump? >> are we really shocked by any of this? are the democrats in shock and awe after what donna brazile

announced? >> no, we are not. two years ago when this was happening, people like me and the guy i was work for, martin o'malley, we were raising alarm bells. jesse: she also rigged it against martin o'malley. >> i'm not going to use the term rigged. but there is no question they act inappropriately and put a thumb on the scales. jesse, tomi, where were you when it was happening. jesse: we didn't know about this until the wikileaks emails revealed it. and debbie wasserman-schultz had to step down on the eve of her own convention. >> this was reported in 2015. we were screaming from the rooftops and i would have loved to have had your help. jesse: well, scream and little

louder. is -- is this the democratic party telling hillary to go back in the woods. >> i think so. where is bernie sanders in all this? i said it last night on twitter. if bernie has any grit at all he will tear the dnc a new one and all these supporters he had will come out even nals and the dnc will change. but he's been quiet about the whole thing. >> we are moving on. everyone agrees the dnc act inappropriately in 2016. the new leader tom perez said the 2016 process was flawed. you guys were oh obsessed with

hillary clinton. it's like move on. democratic party has moved on. jesse: i didn't break the news that she rigged the primary. donna brazile, a democrat, wrote a book about it, that's why we are covering it. >> every day, it's hillary, hillary, hillary. do you remember after world war ii, theyed found a japanese soldier still fighting because he didn't know the war was over. jesse: nobody told hillary clinton the election is over. she continues to fight. >> we are obsessed with hillary because hillary is obsessed with hillary. there are still people protesting the election. i wonder when the other side of the aisle is going to accept it. day in and day out, that's all

we hear. that's a little bit of the pot calling the cut' black. jesse: let's accept the results. donald j. trump is the president of the united states. i want to show a despicable ad by the latino fund. this an actual ad that was released on television. go. >> run! run, run, run! >> is this what donald trump and

ed gillespie means by the american dream? jesse: this is a new low in american advertising. they have yanked the ad because a muslim terrorist mowed down pedestrians in his car. this is helping ed gillespie in virginia in the governor's race because it's so outrageous. >> it's disgusting and misguide. is this what democrats think republicans are want to go do, mow down immigrant children? jesse: if romney in 2012 cut an ad with a bunch of black gang

members on motorcycles running down white kids and at the end of it paid for byrum any for president. the outrage on the national scene would have been white hot. but this is a blip. >> i disagree with that. to tommy's point. she is waiting for democrats to weigh in? democrats have weighed in. i have not spoken to a single democrat who testified this ad. rafflralph more than said it wa. you know, it resorted to the fear tactics we are used to seeing from the republican party. it was an ad that was released from response to an ad from ed

guy less pie tying ralph northam to ms13 gang members. it was a race to the bought. jesse: if it was a race to the bottom, the democrats won. there is nothing wrong with saying my opponent supports sanctuary cities that allow ms13 to run wild. >> it's not like it's part of gillespie's platform to mow down minority children. jesse: we have got to run. >> there are no sanctuary cities in virginia and ms13 is not running rampant around virginia. jesse: rosie o'donnell blaming president trump for having to see a therapist.

and the world in which they are functioning and living. jesse: what kind of age group comes in to talk about their trump stress? >> all ages. it crosses political affiliation. jesse: are there republicans stressed out about donald trump, too? >> definitely. i get stopped in my office and personally about this. people who voted for trump because they didn't want hillary to win but they feel concerned about the political climate. jesse: are these patients you see for other issues and during the hour they are they bring up trump? >> after the election, leading up to the election and after the election i saw a lot, especially young women.

television? >> it's important not to belittle this point. jesse: i'm not belittling it. >> you have to understand when people are stressed in our society, we are facing a massive mental health crisis and it cannot be said enough. one of every six americans in this country is on psychiatric medications. one in every four women is in psychiatric medication. $200 billion in income was last last year because of mental health issues. jesse: have you prescribed drugs to help them deal with their anxiety? >> miem wh -- i'm who holistic.

jesse: i agree we are living in a very, very dangerous time internationally as well as domestically with the shootings and hurricanes. but with all due respect, do you think the generations these days, do you think they have gotten a little soft when they need to see a psychiatrist to deal with the president? >> they are dealing with the social and political times in the place in which we live. i want to qualify. i don't just see young patients. i see people in the take raings of 18-65. again, across political affiliation. people are stressed. people are worried. jesse: if the president can do anything to reduce the stress of the country, let us know.
