pascal moon. [♪] jesse: welcome to "watters world," i'm jesse watters. cause and effect. if a tree falls in the for reste forest and no one is around, does it make a sound. the media criticizes him but they necessity give hip credit when his actions have positive results. the president started imposing tariffs on steel and aluminum.

>> now new tariffs that might ultimately ignite a trade war. >> the president has ignored the advice of most of business leaders. >> if you are thinking this president hasn't really thought this through very well? that's how it happened. jesse: but the tariffs were just a bargaining chip and they worked. president trump: this week we secured a wonderful deal with south korea. we had a deal that was a horror show. it was going to produce 200,000 jobs and i'd did for them. she was right, but it was for them, not for us. jesse: south korea doubled the amount of american cars they will allow to be sold in their

country. this in exchange for trump temporarily dropping the threat of steel tariffs. "the washington post" reported it marks the first successful renegotiation of a trade deal for the trump administration. that line was buried at the bottom of the story, not even worthy of a headline. little rocket man traveled to beijing for constructive talks with his puppet master. america and north korea are now hopefully on the cusp of talks. president trump: certainly the rhetoric has calmed down just a little bit. would you say? we'll see how it all turns out. maybe it will be good and maybe it won't.

jesse: more good news for the american worker at home as a result of tax and regulation cutting. americans applying for unemployment fell to the lowest rate since 1973. remember what the media said the trump tax cut wouldn't help the little guy? mcdonald's just announced it will send $150 million on college education thanks to the tax cut. so when you hear the press criticize trump's unconventional style, pause a minute and let the results speak for themselves. mark levin will be here litter but first i want to bring in ed henry. what do you think of that brilliant commentary?

ed: as a reporter i don't dirks s other journalists for criticizing the president object the front end. the problem i have and where i think you are brilliant if i may say so yourself, which is that there is nothing on the back end. so challenge him on the front end, say these tariffs could be damaging to the economy. but if china blinks in the negotiations, you have to report that. jesse: if you are not going to be at least accurate in the news you are reporting, these are facts. they renegotiated a trade deal with north korea. and i can't find that story anywhere. you have to look for it. >> the bigger one was the fire and fury comments. he's leading to us the brink of car. all became a negotiation and

posturing. now you have this dictator in north korea on bended knee saying i am going to talk to the u.s. president. i'm going to get object a train and go to china and show my face in another country for the first time ever. jesse: i want to talk to you about hillary. she is back at it and giving a speech at rutgers university. made a little news. let's hear it. >> the election was pretty traumatic. a lot of angst and second guessing and finger pointing. oh, my god, did you see how shrill she was? i took a lot of long walks in the wood and drank my share of chardonnay. people said to me go away, go away. they never said that to any man who wasn't elected. i'm committed to speaking out and doing what i can to have a

voice in the debate about where our country is going. jesse: they never said that to a man, go away? al gore went away and people were happy about that. ed: there are actual women who are democrats telling her 0 go away. claire mccaskill in missouri. they said hillary, get off the stage. why are they saying that? they are tired of her, number one, but these are democrats who are vulnerable in missouri and north dakota. and it reveals truth about the president. in the states like missouri and north dakota, he's a lot more popular than democrats want to admit. jesse: remember al gore, it's

the economy, stupid from james carville. al gore took some years off and made some money and grew a beard and didn't get involved in the bedates that were happening. ed: mitt romney we saw at a taco bell and pumping his own gas. jesse: you don't even pump your own gas. ed: you no who has become hillary clinton? nancy pelosi. jesse: someone else not leaving the stage, roseanne barr returning to the stage after 20 years with a smash hit on abc. >> how could you have voted for him? >> he talked about jobs, he said he would shake things up. this might come as a complete shock to you, but we almost lost our house because of the way

things are going. >> have you looked at the news? things are worse. >> not on the real news. >> jackie things every girl should grow up to be president even if they are a liar liar pants on fire. everybody this is the first dinner we have had as a family inning a long time. let's survive it. jky please protect gina and all the troops overseas, but most of all, lord, thank you for making america great again. jesse: abc caused out a safe space for viewers. the real heartland of the country. did you expect this? ed: not at all. that was the fact that tulsa and cities like that. this was off the charts. people in real america.

not the cultural elites, not the coasts. they said we wanted this to come back and we wanted to hear some different views. donald trump is not perfect but he's doing some good things. if they mention the president, they are trashing him. it's not all perfect, and the rest of the season they may barely mention it. but this is something the left didn't see coming. jesse: there has been a lot of success in the media when conservatives are given a platform, "passion of the christ," fox news, there are a lot of conservatives out there, but the press has always ignored that, and they are shocked when there is a successful rememberture by conservatives. the president called roseanne. ed: democrats laugh this off.

what this show is doing is what donald trump did, talking to the forgotten man and woman in tulsa and kansas city. jesse: and there are 18 million forgotten women. the inspector general investigating whether power was abused when the fisa court approved spying on the trump campaign. carter page joins me now in a fox exclusive. what is going on with you. everyone is talking about carter page. they opened up the surveillance because of you, and no one knows who you are. who is carter page? >> that's the beauty of it. that's how they were able to get so much taken care of because they had a blank slate. it's easier to paint a picture against me than a russian billionaire. jesse: they accused you of being

some kind of moscow lover. but continue butt kisser and -- putin butt kisser. they say you are going to russia and talking to the powers that be. is that true? >> i have been doing deals in moscow for a decade and a half. jesse: trying to make money? >> i'm also a foreign policy scholar. i have written a lot about russia. i did my ph.d on central asia. jesse: so you know about the country and you are over there trying to make deals and giving speeches. and they open up surveillance on you because they think you are doing something illegal and colluding with the russians. >> similar to the iraq situation back in the early 2000s, if you have fake intelligence and you are able to sell that to the congress and the american

people, then one thing leads to another and you have a nice little conflict. jesse: they are investigating the abuse of the fisa court. they presented a dossier that was salacious and unverified. that's a crime, you are not allowed to do that. the white house chief of staff was involved in pushing the investigation forward with the fbi counter-intelligence people. and harry reid was involved and briefed by the cia director and wrote a letter to james comey urging the opening of the investigation. when you were being surveilled, were you talking to donald trump and people in the campaign? >> i have never spoken to donald trump in my entire life. jesse: that's huge news. the way the media spins it, you are a central figure. >> they approved my fisa warrant october 1, 016.

the following friday i sent a letter to the organization of security and cooperation in vienna protesting the election abuse in terms of violations of human rights and a lot of the steps. jesse: you sent a letter. >> and i forwarded a copy of that on to several of the people in the campaign. jesse: that was the extent of it? jesse: they charged you with a crime. >> they are saying -- jesse: did you know you were being surveilled? did you get a 6th sense thinking this is fishy? >> there are a lot of people leaking about this and that give me a significant suspicion. jesse: did you change your behavior after you sensed you were under surveillance? >> i have never done anything wrong in russia for the last 25,

27 years. jesse: they are saying you are talking to russians at the republican convention in the summer of 2016. is that true? >> there were a lot of diplomats at that conference at case western reserve university. i said hello to ambassador kislyak. jesse: you are under the microstop. do you feel guilty for being part of this surveillance that led to a special prosecutor? >> i feel guilty that i didn't fight back harder when this first started 45 days before the election when the fake news stories started coming out defaming me. part of me feels bad i didn't do more to stand up for my rights. a lot of things i was doing such

as the letter to the osc nerks vienna were behind the scenes. this has been similar to what you alluded to earlier, a big media assault. jesse: not only a media assault. if the inspector general finds out there were abuses on the fisa court, there are constitutional issues with you. your rights might have been violated. you could be sitting on a huge judgment. >> i have a defamation lawsuit against the broadcasting board of governors and the media outlets who were doing the election interference, were responsible for it before the election. that's my current focus. in terms of the u.s. government, i want $1 from them. i think the media has made so many billions of dollars on

this, they should be responsible for this. jesse: you have gotten your reputation thrown into the gutter. the trump campaign has tried to disavow you. you understand that, naturally. i would, too, if i were them. this entire escapade has embarrassed the country. do you feel at all guilty for giving these enemies of the president this kind of ammunition to use against them? >> no, i feel guilty that i did not fight back to get the truth out there earlier. the beauty of the last couple months since the house intelligence committee and others, senate judiciary committee have been showing what really happened in terms of election interest force, operatives in washington, that

has done a lot to help set the record straight. as more information comes out. jesse: you wouldn't have changed of any your behavior leading up to the election. >> i can't imagine anything i could have done. jesse: you were an fbi informant at one time. you were helping the fbi nail down russian operatives working against this country. now they opened a surveillance probe into you as if you were a russian spy. >> it ties into this spy case in the u.k. where there is a lot of people taking steps or they are concerned people are attack an individual. what is going to happen with the russians? what were they doing to influence this situation? and i told them specifically, what we have now learned, i'm sort of revealed as this

individual helping the western power. and so who knows, i could have been at risk. but the funny thing about that is i never felt at risk and i was never concerned about anything along those lines. jesse: people think you are a weird guy. i'm upset you are not wearing your famous hat. thank you very much. up next, the

jesse: the obama white house apparently left its fingerprints all over the plot to spy on the trump campaign. mark levin joins me now. is this the swamp running out the clock or are we moving the right direction this investigation? mark: i would prefer a special counsel. and i would prefer a special commission. you have a criminal investigation going on to determine that side of the ledger. then on the other side we need to fix this. you can't have elections where

you have the director of the fbi, the deputy director of the fbi leak all over the place. the abuse of the fisa court. i have never heard of anything like this before. the problem right now is the fbi does all kinds of things to protect the people in this country domestic and foreign. you have had these bad cops, i call them, rogue top officials at the top of the fbi who have besmirched this agency. we need to help the agency get its reputation back. we need a commission to do that. an inspector general does a report. let's say he couples and condemns these people. what then? most of of them are already gone. we have a special counsel look

for excuses why he exists. i here i -- here i can't think of a better situation where we have have a special counsel focused on the top levels of the fbi and the justice department. jesse: why has it taken so long for a second special counsel to be appointed? the drum beat has been growing the last couple weeks. what's taking so long? mark: not only should the attorney general quickly appoint a special counsel even those inspector general is doing his thing, on top of the inspector general. but the existing special counsel. paul manafort's lawyers filed papered in court raising the constitutionality of what's taking place with rosenstein and

special counsel mueller. mueller keeps asking for his investigation to be expanded and rosenstein keeps expanding it. jeff sessions rekiewlsed himself on matter involving the campaign. rosenstein does not have the power outside of the recusal that sessions gave to expand mueller's investigation. he's not the attorney general when it comes to tax issues or whether someone failed to file as a foreign agent under the foreign acts act. rosenstein doesn't have the constitutional authority to be attorney general for all these other matters. jesse: we do know rosenstein was involved in signing off on the warrants that were in front of the fisa court because they kept on being renewed under james comey. there is a great piece out here

now that shows the obama white house's fingerprints were all over this. we had harry reid talking to obama's cia director. and, is legitimizing the investigation backwards. mark: way saw underscores what i have been thinking. how is it possible when you have the fisa court application. the direct yoofort fbi involved. attorney general of the united states involved. the intelligence agencies involved. you have the national security advisor unmasking individuals. how in the hell is it possible if the only person on the face of the earth who don't know about this is barack obama? on top of this, the leaks were in the newspaper. you are telling me the president of the united states is sitting

there saying, hey, all this stuff is swirling around him, swirling around his different departments and he's not briefed on it? i don't believe that for two seconds. jesse: he was supposed to be the smartest man in the room. wit was bad he read about it in the newspaper. he never had any culpability when there was a problem. you have little rock and the obama cia director cord tbhaight the senator from nevada, then you see leaks coming out about the investigation, and when that hits the press, those press reports were then used in the fisa application. it looks to me like this entire investigation was cooked up from the beginning in order to justify the surveillance.

is that what you believe? >> i believe it was cooked up with the dossier, the clinton campaign and the dnc, and i believe reid was approached by brennan to apply present sure to push the investigation. all this stuff is going on under the radar. that's why you need a commission and the special counsel. we'll stick with the inspector general for now. but somebody outside the department -- i don't get my kicks with these special counsels, but there are times when that's absolutely necessary. top public officials who can sit down and figure out what the hell took place here and how to fix it. jesse: the inspector general can't compel certain people to come forward from the state department to testify or issue subpoenas.

it's a step in the right direction, but in a way it's toothless. you have a show on sunday night, "life, liberty and le strip." who do you have on? mark: ed meese. we'll talk about issues like this. the fisa court, what took place. and what he thinks is taking place with the fbi. he's quite the brilliant, wise gentleman. i was honored to be his chief of staff for so many years. we'll bring him on for a full hour and have a discussion. jesse: thank you very much, mr. levin. >> god bless. jesse: coming up, a classic "watters world" easter quiz.

jesse: the democratic party has become a joke literally. they are running clowns for congress. actual clowns. steve lowe is on the ticket in south carolina's congressional primary. steve joins me now. let's see what you got. >> you guys requested my wig and nose. this what i used to look like on the circus. put the nose on, all right. now i'm a little bit in honor of the mass tires, a -- honor of

the masters, a golf club balancing tip. years and years of practice. jesse: dent hurt yourself. -- don't hurt yourself. >> that's part of the risk in the circus. here we go. jesse: look at that. >> hold on. we are only halfway there. and we have the balance and -- jess wow! >> how about that! jesse: okay! >> you want to see a little bit of juggling. i'm running in the fifth district. here we go. one more time. always the perfectionist.

here we go. voilà. thank you very much. jesse: we are going to finish the rest of the interview thank you, steve. you will fit right in congress if you win with the rest of the clowns. it will be a smooth transition for you because the swamp is the circus. you are running as a democrat and your opponent will probably be a republican. trump won the district by 18 points. this looks like a long-shot. do you think you will win in south carolina running as a bernie sanders democrat? >> i got an email from a big trump supporter who told me he loved me. he said i don't like democrats. but he said i agree with you, we need to do something on

healthcare and guns. he says he's not sure what. but he says you worked in the circus with lots of different people. you know how to get along with people. i think you may be able to break the logjam. mr. rogers went to dartmouth. jesse: if you win, you will be in nancy pelosi's caucus. will you caucus with nancy and vote how she wants you to vote? >> i think i can have a good influence on her, too. single payer healthcare -- jesse: you are a south carolina guy and it's deep red. and you want to run and single payer healthcare. do you think that's a winning ticket? >> yes, because conservatives get sick and go bankrupt, too. my whole thing is i think ebb should be able to go to the

doctor. jesse: obamacare is halfway to single payer. you want to go all the way in and week afford that how? >> every other industrialized nation in the world does it that way. margaret thatcher was a big supporter of single payer healthcare. jesse: people who want real surgeries cross the bored and come down to america to get that. do you your things in south carolina. you have got some great tricks up your sleeve. i would love to see you win because i think it would shake thing up. >> i think i can win the pro mary antigen. i think i'm good. jesse: we'll follow you. up next. diamond and silk on hillary clinton versus snooki.

jesse: this week the trump administration announced it will add a citizenship question back to the 2020 census. the question, are you a citizen? it was on the census for decade and was taken out under president obama. here with reaction, my fast it bloggers, diamond and silk. you guys are looking good. what i wanted to ask you is this. michelle malkin said only in america can you get sued for asking who is in america. does this make any sense to you? >> it makes no sense. here is the deal. this here question is on several applications. when you are trying to apply for government assistance. when you are going to college. when you are getting a student

loan. they ask specific questions like this. it's in our constitution the census be donner 10 years. if you are a resident you are supposed to fill out your form. i don't understand why these states are trying to aid and abate these illegal aliens. if you don't fill out the form as a resident you should be find. >> or change the question and ask are you an illegal i willien. joe * i think this place is out of control. you can't find out if you are legal or illegal. that's unconstitutional. there is an advertisement by one my fast it distributors, heineken. this ad is accused of being racially insensitive. let's take a look.

do you guys see anything racist about that ad? >> i don't see anything racist about that ad. whoever sees it as racist, maybe they are harboring racism in their hearts. i ate some jelly beans the other day and there were only 5 black jelly beans in there. when i drink my milk i drink a lot of white milk because i don't put chocolate mill income

my cereal. everything is not racist. you can sell heineken to make a dark beer and cast diamond and silk in the commercial. jesse: you guys are volunteering. i like it. there is a speech given by hillary thursday at rutgers university, and she was paid only 25gs. and she used to make a quarter million. snooki spoke at rutgers and she made $32,000. she was paid more than hillary. >> wow, that's interesting. hillary clinton has lost a lot of power. gathering food. hillary clinton can't give back kickback patty whack. she can't do that anymore.

people keep asking us why are you so hard on hillary. i have to be hard on her. she called us deplorable and called us racist, and she said it's because after man you voted for a man. she needs to go somewhere back in the woods with her chardonnay and be quiet. jesse: all right, ladies, thank you very much. and a "watters world" easter quiz up next.

jesse: spring has arrived. the weather is somewhat warmer and easter is tomorrow. that means "watters world" is hitting the streets to see what people really know about the meaning of easter. what big holiday is coming up? >> i know st. patrick's has passed. jesse: what are you doing sunday? ever been hunting? >> oh, you mean easter. >> easter, easter.

[♪] katie: welcome to justice. i'm katie pavlich filling in for judge jeanine pirro. on this holy saturday, judge jeanine takes us on a tour of the museum of the bible. but let's begin with attorney general jeff sessions announcing a federal prosecutor is looking into alleged fisa abuses by the fbi. but some congressmen say it's
