to 3:00 p.m. eastern time and listen on the radio stations around the country. unfortunately, that does it for us. appreciate you joining us. i hope to see you back here next week saturday night 10:00 p.m. thanks for watching. ♪♪ liberty & levin." jesse: welcome to "watters' world." i'm jesse watters. it's the year of cancel culture. the world mob is coming for you and they are never satisfied. a new york time column any of the accusing the cartoon pepe le pew a race culture. saying it helped stereotype the

lethargic mexican. aunt jemima forced into a new name saying they are based on a racial stereo types. the muppets apparently wouldn't disclaimers on disney plus. the mr. potato head brand went gender neutral, dropping the mister. monopoly dropped its card to appeal to woke folks. he remembers are on an apology tour to appease the mob. but here is a look back at when i took a deep dive into the canceling of dr. seuss' book.

first family, dr. seuss. theodore seuss was an ardent democrat who died in 1991. he was furiously against fascism. he hated the nazis in imperial japan. he was an environmental conservationist, and his creative vocabulary inspired children across the world to enjoy the pleasures of reading. president biden canceled dr. seuss on the read across america day. so what happened? dr. seuss enterprises. buckled you be an intense pressure campaign led by the conscious kid. a radical left wing education

outlet and announced it would stop publishing six dr. seuss books because according to the conscious kid they contained, orientalism, blackness, and white supremacy. let's examine the specific illustrations causing so much trough. to think i saw it on mulberry street has been canceled because a chinese man is depicted eating with chop sticks. this was described as deeply hurtful. also because the man had the eyed fold, a common feature of people of asian descent. and a man of color with an elephant pulling his cart.

if i ran the zoo, published in 1950 was cancel because a white male was being carried by three asian and he was holding a gun, illustrating dominance, quote-unquote. another picture showed a man wearing a turban with feathers coming out of it. and this was a stereotype said the critics. many people from india wear turbans, so i'm not sure how that's controversial. it would be exotic for a caucasian child halfway around the world seeing that for the first type. there is a drawing shirtless and shoeless african village. i understand why that one is a concern. go beyond zebra, published in 1955 was can he because a man rode a camel.

and that man had a turban and slippers. those slippers are still fashionable in the middle east. the cat's quizzer, are you martyr than the cat in the hat published in 1976, a japanese character was standing next to mount fuji. his face was yellowed to distinguish him from other characters in the book. the critics didn't like that. and native americans were pictured fishing. that is stereotypical of them because it's what they do. i'm not sure what's ratist about that. scrambled eggs supper was canceled because a person who belongs to a culture that wears

turbans, oh, my gosh, wore a turban. and because an eskimo fetched an egg for a white child to make scrambled eggs with. the "new york times" has run dozens of cartoons featuring asians whose eyes look like dr. seuss's drawing. the seattle times, a liberal publication has run cartoons of arabs dressed in traditional arab garb. and cartoons depicting native americans. excuse me, native african. are all these newspapers going to be canceled? of course they are not. so why is dr. seuss? it's about money and power. the main critics driving the

cancellation of dr. seuss books is a group called the conscious kid. the group said they disrupt and fight racism in young children because they say children begin to show pro-white and anti-black bias at age 3. the conscious kid profits in taking down dr. seuss books and in its place sells hundreds of books to schools across the country. they are affiliated with black lives matter, and their books are about kamala harris, and ruth bader ginsburg. the national education association is pushing more progressive books to young students. listen to this. julian is a mermaid. it's about a little boy who

cross dresses. the prince and the dressmaker is another book about cross dressing. rebel without a green card is about an illegal immigrant from iran. we are here to stay, undocumented young adults is also about illegal immigrants. i'm fine with having a wide range of authors and issues, but not at the expense of wonderful authors like dr. seuss and not for political partisan indoctrination. all of this seems to be about destroying cultural and historical frames of reference. and building a culture they control entirely and profit from of course. we give into the liberal mob because they are annoying. we say fine, just shut up. it's how weak parents deal with complaining children. the good parents know how to say

no and the children usually knock it off. america needs to act more like these parents, not the soft and distracting ones. now on ebay you can't even buy and sell these books. they are banned. and you can't buy mulberry street. >> today i am truly an american citizen. i am *. the simpsons ran the quickie mart. azaria quit after a documentary blasted the stereotypes. now he's joining the hollywood apology tour saying it contributed to structural

racism. >> i apologize for my part in creating that and anticipating -- and participating in that. jesse: don't afollow jiets for portraying a cartoon character on a show written by liberals. the creator of the simpsons is a liberal guy. the show has an irish crazy custodian, a sleazy political guy, a rich and evil corporate overlord. is hollywood not allowed to portray anyone who is different anymore? >> jesse, i had this conversation last night. a friend of mine said that acting may be dead.

now, i think we should definitely we have to grow and have much more inclusion within our business, obviously all stories need to be told. but hank is an amazing actor, he's incredible. 30 years. i don't know whye quit. but it's just a cartoon character. but i don't know. this is happening a lot. jesse: it's happening everywhere. that's what you do for a living. it's obviously not real. in this case it's a cartoon. i want to play some sound from bill maher who once in a while just nails it. he said the movies hollywood is putting out these days makes you

want to curl up into a little ball and cry. >> the academy used to say look what good movies we make. now they say look what good people we are. it's about suffering, especially yours. >> if your movie is so woke, how come i'm falling asleep. jesse: we grew up taken in era where they had great films and blockbusters. i haven't heard of anything nominated. and email screenplay looks like it's written by a guy who needs to get a prozac prescription. what's behind this in your thinking. >> there is something going on like you said, hollywood is operating within its own echo chamber. i love it, i have have been lucky to be part of it for 30 years. but it's being more and more --

how can i say -- i feel it's almost making content for itself. when i go out in middle america all around. people say i didn't see that movie either. i'm starting to not know all the movies that are in it. and i'm one of the screeners. jesse: thanks so much. next, the true impact of biden's border crisis. is live tv coming back d live pd coming back? dan abrams steps into "watters' world."

[ "me and you" by barry louis polisar ] ♪ me and you just singing on the train ♪ ♪ me and you listening to the rain ♪ ♪ me and you we are the same ♪ ♪ me and you have all the fame we need ♪ ♪ indeed, you and me are we ♪ ♪ me and you singing in the park ♪ ♪ me and you, we're waiting for the dark ♪

jesse: 6 months into biden's presidency and the border crisis continues to worsen at levels we haven't seen in two decades. 10 states have sent law enforcement and others to help arizona deal with this mess. but the biden administration just keeps allowing cartel members to make their way into the united states with no one to stop them. i spoke with russell johnson, a new mexico rancher who lives near the border. basically it's in his backyard. cameras on his ranch caught illegal immigrants crossing not only at night, but also in broad daylight. you have a family, describe what it's like to have this border

right on the border with a big hole joe biden left in trump's border wall. >> thanks for having me on. it's a horrible feeling knowing your ranch and your property, and your family is the funneling point. this is right south of my house. my family is exposed to it on a daily basis. >> you wired the property with cameras and i'm sure you are taking precautions. what kind of precautions are you taking to pretext your property and family. >> we don't have cell phone communications down here. it's a horrible situation that i feel it necessary to travel around my own property, my family's property that's been here for 100 years. i have to traveled around armed to have some sense of security.

law enforcement resources are stretched thin. recently you are lucky if you see one to two border agents. and they aren't on the border. they are north 3 and 4 miles. their resources are stretched so thin, they feel they have a better chance of apprehending these individuals by letting them come forth and catch them at those points. in the meantime they are terrorizing our ranch in between that 3-mile stretch. jesse: you saying the border agents actually pulled back from the border. if you were to tell something to president biden. what would you tell him? >> i would say do the right thing. this wall project is not just about the physical barrier. there will be new improved

all-weather access roads, censor packages, lighting, integrated camera towers. it's a complete and total package. it's not just the wall. when he shut that down he took the force multiplier away. it took away any security from the american public and our livelihood. jesse: he terminated not just the wall, but the technology and the road and the whole package. i don't think a lot of people know that. thank you, russell, for sharing that with us. i hope your family stays safe. jesse: if you haven't watched court cam on a & e you are missing major courtroom drama.

[inaudible]. about jesse: if you like court cam, you will love court cam present under oath. it's a true crime show toll from the per peck tough of the accused. dan abrams who is the author of the new work, kennedy's avenger and the forgotten trial of jack ruby. this country is fascinated with the criminal justice system. you have got george floyd, you have got the witch hunt in washington. everyone is zeroed in on justice in america and what's fair and

unfair. why are people going to watch this use show in your opinion? >> it shows you the stakes when a criminal defendant takes the witness stand. in most cases murder defendants don't take the stand. why? because they are guilty and can't explain exactly what happened. in many cases it may be worth it. or in many cases as you will see on court cam under oath, the defendant decides i want to present my side of the story. why i didn't do it at all. thin the whole case end upcoming down to that person's testimony. every other expert witness all becomes secondary to whether the jurors believe this person's testimony. as someone who covered trials my entire career. when the defendant in a murder trial takes the witness stand,

everyone is focused on it because it's so compelling. we cover stories where defendants take the witness stand. >> that testimony will make or break the whole case. jesse: if i was guilty i think i would take the stand because i would be slick and persuasive. i have to ask you a question. when are your liberal friends in the mainstream media going to start reporting on this crime wave fairly. you have people getting knocked out cold. pushes on the subway tracks. and they don't want to talk about it because of bail reform. we have a lot of lunatics out on the streets, they should be getting treatment. we have drug problems and gang

warfare. the media, they are culpable in a lot of respects. >> i don't know that it's culpable, but i agree it's underreported. i agree the media ought to be cold fronting more crime waves in certain cities. people will say it's no crime wave. look at the numbers this way or that way. the bottom line is there is a serious crime problem in big cities around america, and i do think the media is re -- is reluctant to cover it. >> i would say they are left of center. you would say they are far left. the problem is they don't admit it. if they would just say, here is where we are politically and this is how we are going to cover stories, then there would

be a little more honesty in the process. i think the problem is for a lot of these entities, they don't even notice that they are doing it. they don't even notice that they are focusing all on so often in my view, too often, claiming the police are always the bad guys as opposed to the good guys. i want to see more police heroism stories. jesse: when are we getting live pd back? >> i hope soon. no i was not happy about the decision. i think it's soon. jesse: best news i have heard all day. >> i think it's coming back. jesse: that's great news. even though it competes against "watters' world." just dvr my show or live pd.

thanks. everyone is going crypto crazy. i catch up with the real wolf of wall street.

>> bitcoin stabilized. >> bitcoin. >> bitcoin is nuts. >> up 33%. jesse: everyone is going bonkers over bitcoin. what is it and who is getting rich on it and why is elon musk making everyone nuts over it. what is bitcoin? >> the best way to explain bitcoin, you take any a dollar bill or hundred dollar bill. you see you a serial number on it. that corresponds to some entry in a computer in the government. just imagine if all this stuff was in the cloud somewhere.

bitcoin has its own code. it's all these different computers around the world running the same code. if enough of them say the transaction is real, it's deemed as being real. jesse: i think i got it. but the computer code has become a currency that people trade and can invest. we had one of our producers explain what bitcoin was. he pulled up his account and he invest in 2017. he's my producer and the guy is cleaning up. i went to the bathroom and when i came back he already made 5gs. am i late to the bit cane game?

this 31-year-old kid is wearing gold now. >> no one really knows what's going to happen. i would be lying if i said i know where bitcoin is going. right now it's plummeting fast, and major issues with governments like china saying they are not going to allow it. jesse: it started at $2,000 a coin. now it's $60,000. elon musk says something and he tanks bitcoin and everyone wants to store the capitol. >> bitcoin operates by whoever is the cuest girl in the school, that's where all the money goes. he on was the cutest girl in school for a long time. if he on likes it, everyone buys

it. everyone knows that it's a ponsa ponzi. it's not worth anything. who is the cutest girl in school. jesse: you know what? the hottest girl in school and the tiny numbers on the dollar bill? best analogies i ever heard because to this day i didn't understand it. wolf of wall street breaking it down for us. thanks, jordan. a "60 minutes" producer tells "watters' world" on what really goes on behind the scenes on that storied franchise.

>> you don't want to talk to me? i don't understand. you must be ashamed or something. >> she lost her virginity on that day. why would she say that if it wasn't so. i have no up tension of leaving until you tell me what's on your mind. >> you are contemptible. i would like you to get out of here. jesse: the ambush interview made legendary by mike wallace and carried on by yours truly. the show's long time producer has written a book detailing his shocking exploits involving bill

clinton, the mob, ufos and all of it. joining me ira rosen. you ran into girks alainne maxwell. >> i said she is pro clinton and i said i want those tapes. she put her finger in my face. she said if you do one see you you have to do the other. meaning bill clinton. he took trims on the lolita express. i said i will go wherever the story takes me, get me the tapes.

the implication was she knew the tapes existed but she didn't know where he kept them, and i never did get them. it was quite interesting, her comments. jesse: in one of the meeting she tried to get you in bed which you basically dodged. two presidents from epstein's property. that's just what she said. you talked to the mob bosses about the jfk assassination. what did they tell you? >> we just completed a profile of the crime family in tucson. i said who kill kennedy? he said the first thing he did was call down to miami and talk to the head of the mob in florida and said what happened, and he said miami and new orleans which is one by carlos

barcello for it. new york is clear. joe found out later -- this is according to what joe banano told me. the hit team took care of the dirty deed from the grassy knoll and they themselves were taken care of. his son later wrote a book where he claimed it was a chicago gangster who fired a shot from a sewer that was the kill shot. when i did another profile of john gotti, jr. who ran the major crime family in new york. junior told me johnny had lousy eyesight and he could never make the shot. so who knows what the truth is. jesse: that's what they say. we are talking about the mob here so you can take it the way you want to take it.

apparently jimmy carter wanted to release the ufo files and george bush, sr'was with the cia and blocked it. >> thanks for having me. jesse: my book, "how i saved the world" will be available in just a few days. you can snag your physical copy on july 6. or you can preorder it wherever books are sold. the dumbest tiktok trend everyone should be avoiding. you can die. next.

extreme challenges dominate tiktok. people challenging others to do dumb things. carley shimkus is here to break them down. the skull breaker challenge sounds really dangerous. >> two people stand on either side of the victim and the fern jumps and they kick the poor kid's legs out. this was popular last year. a lot of kids went to the hospital. two kids were charged with assault. jesse: number two, the penny challenge. this might be something i would do as a teenager. but it looks like you could get electrocuted. >> what you do is plug a charger into an outlet. drop a penny in the gap and you

could set your house on fire. two teenagers in massachusets were charged with arson for doing that at their school. jesse: we have the corncob challenge. >> this one is a little more innocent. you put a corncob on a drill. you turn the drill on. he chipped his tooth doing it. if you do this and you are single you automatically become undatable. jesse: unless you are a hockey player, girls like you if you are missing a tooth. basketball beer challenge. this one doesn't seem that dangerous. the guy in the breadbasket. >> i like this one. you put a beer on a basketball. you drop basketball and try to catch the beer.

it can't be that hard, jesse, i think i endorse it. jesse: send them over here. the full face wax. what is that about? >> so somebody, a barber, whoever you go to puts quaks all over your face, aggressively rips it off. i guess it's in place of shaving. jesse: does it grow back? >> yeah, i guess. jesse: i never have to shave again. >> the hair will grow back. there is no reason to do this unless you don't want to breathe for a few minutes. that's wax on his face. the last one, dry scooping challenge. people are eating that's powder. >> pre-workout powder.

it comes in powder form. it's high in caffeine. teenagers are putting it directly in their mouth. high in caffeine. if you have an undiagnosed heart problem, it could cause a heart attack. a. jesse: there she is, carley who doesn't endorse any of them except the beer one. jesse: carley, thank you. up next, "last call" patriot style.

jesse: in honor of america's independence. let's take a look back when i asked americans how much or how little they knew about our great country. how many colonies were there in the beginning. >> 15? >> 12? >> 13. jesse: can you name any of them? >> north carolina, south

carolina. jesse: who is your favorite founding father. >> james madison. >> abraham lincoln. >> ben franklin. jesse: what about george washington. what did he do? >> he was one of the presidents as well. jesse: which president? >> the second president after lincoln? jesse: the revolutionary war who did america fight? >> countries. >> china. >> what year did we declare our independence. >> 1984. jesse: way off. >> 1776. >> 1776. jesse: she is open a roll, folks. >> july 4. >> the name of our national anthem is. >> do we call it "the national

anthem"? >> it is the star spangled banner. jesse: let's do a rendition. are you ready? >> o say can you see by the dawns early light. >> what so proudly we hailed by the -- i forget the rest. >> through the perilous fight, the ramparts we watched. jesse: what are those? >> lamparts? and the rockets red glare the bombs bursting in air gave proof to the light. >> night. >> that our flag was still there. land of the tree and home of the brave. jesse: best one today. that all for tonight. be sure to follow me on

facebook, instagram and twitter. and buy the book. "justice with judge jeanine" is next. and remember i'm watters and this is my world.
