consequences. this is probably the closest i'll ever have in my life to an i am part kuls moment. jesse: jess he smollett on gma. he said this is maga country. i want that video found so badly. and i want a little gay boy who might watch this to see that [bleep] fought back and i'm pissed off. it's the truth. >> the trump administration officials have been sending babies and other young children home. do we have the graphic of this? no. jesse: the winner is, jussie

the truth, you sure as hell wouldn't have done what you have done to this guy. this will destroy the ability of good people to come forward because of this crap. jesse: and the winner is -- trump versus jim acosta. an honorable mention for the white house intern who had to get her hands very dirty. next calculate gory. most of politically correct. the university of maryland for creating a support group for white students who feel quote confused before, during or after interactions with minorities. also nominated, northeastern professor, susan a walters, a gender studies professor who wrote that men should quote step away to make room for women

because they have every right to hate you. our final nominee. minnesota university professor who says the virgin mary did not give consent to become pregnant with jesus christ. and the winner is -- minnesota professor sprinkle. that was an easy one. i thought there was an immaculate conception. you need consent for that. new category. best political comedy. here are the nominees. president trump. president trump: they go back home to mommy. they get punished when they get home. a show headed by sleepy eyed chuck todd. he's a sleeping son of a bitch. richard blumenthal. i watched him say we need the

truth. if we don't have -- and here's the guy who was saying people died all around him and he was never there. jesse: cnn's jim acosta at the border. >> here are some of the steel slats the president has been talking about. as a matter of fact it's pretty tranquil down here. jesse: kanye west shocks the press in the oval office. >> let me give this guy a hug. i'm married to a family with not a lot of male energy going on. when i put this hat on, i feel like superman. this our president. he has to be the highest, the flyest planes. you are tasting a fine wine. president trump: i hate to say this, jim, you want to say something? jesse: the winner is -- donald

trump. he wins iter year. it's not fair. jim was a close second. last but not least. the dumbest commit cal commend tear -- the dumbest political commentary. our nominees are beto o'rourke. >> would you take the wall down? >> absolutely. i would take it wall down. ji.jesse: elizabeth warren. >> the president likes to call my mom a liar. what do the facts say? >> you have native american an says have i in your pedigree. >> any len yams and genz and all those people who come after us.

the world is going teenld in 12 years if we don't address climate change and your biggest issue -- your biggest issue is how are we going to pay fo it^ ? this our world war ii. jesse: the world is going to end in how many years? and the winner is -- pocahontas. elizabeth warren who revealed through a dna test that she was not native american even though she claimed she was. that's it for the watters awards. i would like to thank all our winners for their outstanding work this year. for the losers. better luck next time. in her endless quest to take your hard-earned money out of

your hand. alexandria ocasio-cortez is sticking by her 70% tax plan on people who earn over $10 million. >> what's wrong with you. >> if you make more than $10 million in one year, which is a pretty good year. >> that's a damn good year [bleep] >> seriously. if you make more than 10 million in one year your 10 millionth dollar gets taxed under the 70% tax rates. under republicans we had marginal tax rates of 90 person *. isn't 10 million enough? when does it stop? jesse: somebody who knows a thing or two about your dollars and cents. host of "mornings with maria."

welcome to. "watters' world." maria: it's great to be here in your world. jesse: i think saying isn't $10 million enough? isn't that un-american? >> what's enough? is ocasio-cortez going to be the judge of what's enough? should i check with her on how much i might want to achieve in my life? i thought the last time we talked this was the american dream, that you could come from nothing and work as hard as you can and make money and as much success you could have. jesse: let's look at some celebrities she believes made enough money. george clooney made $239 mill last year. hell of a year, george. after taxes on that first $10 million, he's only taking home

$70 million as opposed to $239 million. is she going to tell le bron james who made $85 million last year, we are going to cut that in half. i dare her to tell le bron that. maria: they are probably okay making that kind of money. but which you talk about a corporate ceo or billionaire then it becomes a bad word. jesse: the gates foundation has eliminated polio pretty much in the continent of africa because of his generosity and success. is she going to say, we are not going to eliminate polio. maria: you make a good points. these rules and policies where you are punishing the highest earners for earning a lot of money, they have unintended consequences. are we going to see the ken

langone's of the world stop giving out free medical education. jesse: i was just at nyu and it was a beautiful place. she went to harvard and harvard has a huge even downment. we sound like people sucking up to billionaires. that's how democrats are going to run. how does the republican party combat that smear that republicans are just the party of the rich? bar require is un-american like you said. you shouldn't crush people's ability to come from nothing, work hard and make what they can make. but one way the republicans need to hit at this, you have to address the underlying problem the left is bringing up. that is, there is income inequality still. the capitalism lifts people out

of poverty. that's what we have seen seeing. i would say republicans need an education policy. our workers in this country are being attacked. they had a.i. on the right, china on the left. illegals in the middle, and they all want our jobs. and that's just a fact. i think we need to be teaching our students about machine learning, about a.i., about robotics. but then you will face the teachers union. they are not going to like that. but this goes back to education. you know that. jesse: instead of focusing on taking wealth away from the rich people and redistributing it, because that never gets into their hands. it's not like you are taking it from le bron and giving to it a poor person. you are saying americans need to lift each other up with their own

put them on a good playing field to do that. >> is it hypocritical with somebody like elizabeth warren. >> or bernie sanders who has three homes? they are all messed up just like an episode. >> and nancy pelosi. >> she has the vineyard do they look like hypocrites to say tax the rich when they sit pretty quick. >> yes. the new talking point is for the people. i want to know what w people. >> the american people? that which makes absently no sense or medicare for all that destroys the entire private insurance history. >> you mention the p green plan but aoc talked about ending cow flatulence. >> i'm getting a lot of references about cow parts that is referencing your green new deal. >> we have to address factory

farming maybe we should be eating a hamburger for breakfast and lunch and dinner but we have to take a look at everything and we need to realize about climate changes every choice that we make in our life. >> don't come after the hamburgers. >> no more hamburgers. obviously this green plan has been exposed for what it is. makes no sense i will quote the "wall street journal" on her plan that says she wants us to be carbon neutral in ten years noncarbon sources only give 11 percent of energy that means a complete remake of the electric power system all buildings in new york to be redone that's a pie-in-the-sky dream. >> the big mac president will cease on these people so now we debut a new segment of

"watters world" called what we learned about democrats this week. kamalan harris she wants to get rid of columbus day. >> do you support a federal level to change columbus day to indigenous peoples stay. >> i applied your effort and count me in on your support. >> there goes the italian vote. by the way do we still get a three-day weekend? bernie sanders jumping into the 2020 race while many aren thrilled with video from the past may point to the future plans for america. . a >> that then the rich get it. >> and then failed to live up

back in 2003 wearing a onesie into sheet mask. and then dress to impress where an address? in minneapolis minnesota is the top hot bed for terror in america fbi shows 45 somalis have left the city to join isys or al shabbat and another dozen arrest while trying to leave isys. by the way the congressional district including minneapolis then and other freshman firebrand omar who is defending the terrorist not making a connection just pointing the facts and now we have kelly and conway. >> hi jesse. i want to play some sound of the senator talking about reparations and her support of

them. with 200 years of slavery jim crow with legal segregation in america people are starting out on the same base to succeed so we have to recognize that. . >> cynic and then put it up to a vote. >> she should do that. actually some experts say if not the first african-american president barack obama did not show support for this. and there was those fundraising numbers smollet

now he is the target of a criminalal investigation, sociam half the people working in the private insurance industry in california lose their jobs on hundred 80 million people would lose private insurance. also i would say smoking her own father said the stereotype that t smoking pot is okay. then of course, shocking they wanted a female candidate. . >> i cannot imagine if the roles were reversed you brought up smollet his alleged attack everybody says.

and then we have a national attack where a turning point usa young conservative student was punched in the face with video evidence. watch. >> jesus christ. what? [bleep] [bleep] [bleep] wow. so how do you reconcile these political hate crimes which i believe those are and a guy later in the show had a gun pulled on him because he was wearing the maggot hat and then these other crimes like smollet they get so much attention it is unbalanced coverage. >> m there always liars but

there are those that should concern everyone because they should focus on reporting the news not their likes or opinions or what they hope is the truth but what is the truth you just saw a man we assaulted with a crime committed against them on videotape.el but yet when smollet came out with his account all the headlines, none of them say he was attacked but he is a victim of our racist homophobic attack by t five people they did not even say a legendd is that a hate crime and look at what has happened theirs was happening the truth truth truth crowd hurts her own depending on the perpetrators but i want that guy found and punched and assaulted and he should be held to account in california.

>> thank you very much i appreciate it. a "watters world" exclusively have a trumpte h supporter who d a gun pointed at his head just for wearing the teefive hat. the smollet episode winners and losers stick around. zzzquil pure zzzs. really being able to place who you arething, and then how you're interpreting that; in your life and then in the wider world. every ancestor that we have, has a story waiting to be told. and all we have to do is find that ancestor and that story will be unleashed. ♪ as you already know, you are the descendent of one of the most influential members of the underground railroad in new york. she spent her first thanksgiving night in safety. even in abolition circles he was considered extreme.

of the narrative we saw that with the covington school boys and that is what we saw in the reverse with this individual. on the left reality is optional you know, that better than anyone else. but the stunning thing is this individual who has been caught on camera with his accomplices buying the materials for the fake hate crime and used a check to pay for it and what does he do? then he pleads not guilty. jesse: i love the check didn't jerry springer pay at a prostitute with a check? you never commit a crime with a check. >> america. let me tell you something do not commit crimes with checks. [laughter] if you're going to break the law do not write a check.

[laughter] get a mask. [laughter] jesse: it's funny because it is not because he knew the media would buy his hoax and rob earned one - - robin roberts went with it many people across cable went with ithe and everybody like us were thinkingob this doesn't make sense but we didn't say anything because if we had we would be destroyed by the left-wing media as racist and conspiracy theorist just for asking questions. >> jesse i now have a national radioad show. i didn't comment on this case because i wanted the facts until this week. not the narrative bandwagon but there are two serious

things in the week it was perpetrated 31 people were murdered in chicago and in 26 of those they have not made an arrest. not one in the meantime 24 detectives were wasted on this fraud? second this individual has perpetrated a hate crime because he blamed white trumpet supporters this is a man who is a minority member and a homosexual and on a tv show in dozens of countries around the world this person would never have had the opportunity he has had in america in dozens of countries that would have led to him being a criminal with the sexual preferences that he would have wrist execution. >> everything he had he had the opportunities and i believe every single one of

donald trump supporters in apology because that is who he framed and then we mentioned earlier when the facts came out the presidents didn't do it with kavanaugh or covington or smollet innocent and tell proven guilty on that side or innocent until proven charged that is against those founding principles getting the democrats in a lot of trouble because now the candidates have fallen for hoaxes and what little credibility they have is shot. >> justt on friday come allah harris long - - kamala harris said a modern-day lynching nowhere did she apologize for jumping on the bandwagon to

call this a lynching this is a person who thinks she should be the next president of the united states that is everything you need to know about the left. >> and she should know what to look for with fraudulent acts. i have got to run but as always listen to his radio show you will not be disappointed. now an expert in hate crime here is a huge list you will not believe. it's time for the ultimate sleep number event

there are dozens and dozens. the right during the trump election or before that all the death threats and the jewish community centers across the country everybody blames trumpet supporters the rise of trump this is what we would see if trump were elected. what really happened with those threats? . >>t you are referring to what is perpetrated by the black man who used to be with left-wing media outlets and with the media history in grievances for whatever reason to have death threats to jewish institutions and then to blame trump for his own claimant - - climate.

jesse: that the media will already signed the beginning of the trump hate crime era but it was a black journalist and not a trump supporter. november 2016 right after the election, they really start to percolate the hate crime hoax. south philly neighborhood with anti- black messages trump has pitch spray-painted on the homes what happened there? . >> black man was responsible for that. so that highlights not only are there immoral they are not good liars nobody says trump rules like nobody would say this is maga country.

[laughter] jesse: they don't comeme out of the mouth of trump supporters. trump rules? alarm bells go off. and then to have dozens and dozens of swastikas, people writing the and word all over things and in case after case, they are perpetrating hoaxes we are not saying they don't exist. they do and they are horrific and should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law that fate crimes also need to be prosecuted. in your opinion , psychologically why do peoplefi commit hate crime hoaxes? . >> i have not studied it academically but it is my view because i was at university not too long ago and the prevailing ethos was a grievance and victimhood so

what we are witnessing now is this grievance ideology and victimhood culture to the mainstream society of culture and politics. it is a point used particularly by democratic presidential hopefuls. it iss emblematic to worship victimhood and to expect more as long as skepticism and caution is demonized and we are told over and over, they exist but. >> that this culture continuously rewards victims and awarded in academia and then all hell rains down.

you have to run. thank you for your report. >> my pleasure. >> still ahead a man who had a gun pulled on him for being a trump supporter. but first what political slogans are working and which ones are not? . >> build that wall. build thatt wall. ♪ - in a crossfit gym, we're really engaged with

jesse: . >> we are building a wall on the southern border. build the wall. >> build a great wall along the southern border. >> build that wall. build thatat wall. jesse: build the wall make america great again the catchphrases can make or break a candidate as a rallyha cry. the deceptiveness of phrasing

you are the best in the business when the president says build the wall and he's talking about the wall constantly is that a good move or is there another word that could be used? . >> i don't choose what words he uses what he should know 21 percent of americans want him to build the wall low mid fifties want to build a barrier of a 70 percent want a combination of technology of people and a barrier. jesse: build that barrier? [laughter] . >> no but it is more than the applause line. if he wants to go up that 50 percent but in this case build the wall appeals to theo base or those who are watching right now but he could be doing so much better if he 's.

jesse: so also a phrase used constantly by the left and the right is collusion but also the witchhunt. >> this is a pair and a simple witchhunt. . >> witchhunt. >> the russian witchhunt. >> the witchhunt going on forever. >> zero collusion. >> no collusion at all. jesse: okay. collusion and the witchhunt? . >> i don't think most americans even knew what collusion was until one year ago so this is good for the vocabulary. but the issue is they put politics over people. if i were advising him on this i don't have a better word than witchhunt. jesse: you think that's the right phrase? . >> for what he tries to

communicate that is best because we all understand when something is unfair and improper. jesse: the democrats like to say there will be a green new deal playing off of the old fdr phrase to add green in front of it. how is that working? it's just be getting. p >> it's working well we did a survey and 80 percent of americans thought it was a good idea. they have no idea what it is but it worked. medicare for all has over 60 percent support only 25 percent opposition but the department believes medicare work so they want to share the wealth. so in this case the democrats have a very effective labeling of this issue but when they learn the truth and the details the public will change their mind. >> the devil is in the details. thank you very much. >> a kentucky man held at gunpoint just foril wearing his
