OPINION: This article may contain commentary which reflects the author's opinion.


Fox News host Jesse Watters is tired of “empty words” and wants Democrats and their operatives held accountable for years of spreading lies and carrying out controversial actions.

During an episode of “The Five,” the panel discussed a recent House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government hearing in which Republicans want to prove that conservatives have been targeted.

the host said. “You wanna know why? Because everybody already knows that! Everybody already knows all of this stuff! So, what is the endgame here?”

“We get screwed, then we have a hearing,” he said. “Nothing happens. We get screwed again. We have a hearing. Nothing happens.”

To date, no smoking gun evidence has been presented to prove that President Biden knew of or benefitted from his son’s business dealings.

He then spoke about FBI Director Christopher Wray, who was picked by former President Donald Trump after he fired former FBI Director James Comey, and how, if elected in 2024, Trump would have a tough time replacing Wray.

“Trump gets elected,” the host said. “What’s he gonna, go in there and fire Chris Wray? Last time anybody did that, he got impeached for it, and he got a special counsel down his throat.”

For reference, neither of the former president’s impeachments was for firing Comey.

“So, we have an FBI dictatorship here. You either fire him and die or you can’t touch him and you still die,” the host said.

“I’m sick of these hearings,” he said. “Make me feel better, guys. Tell me this is going somewhere. Can I throw someone in prison? Can someone go to jail, Can someone get fined?”

His co-host Jeanine Pirro said that she believed that there is not “an objective Department of Justice.”

“We don’t have it!” Watters shouted. “They’re under investigation, we don’t have an objective anything anymore!”

“Just very quickly,” his Democrat co-host Jessica Tarlov said. “You guys got the Durham investigation, which was supposed to blow the lid off–”

“Exactly!” Watters interrupted.

“–and it ended up with nothing because there is nothing,” Tarlov said.

“Stop!” Watters said. “You guys admitted you planted the [Steele] dossier!”

“What?!” Tarlov said.

“You admitted you framed him as a traitor and you want to investigate our investigation? We’re investigating the investigators!” he said.

“We don’t live in the same world. It’s just crazy,” the liberal co-host said.

“Exactly, your world’s fake,” Watters insisted.

“My world is winning,” Tarlov said.

“We’re following the facts!” Watters said.

“We are winning,” Tarlov needled.

“You guys are corrupt. You robbed my vote!” Watters said before co-host Greg Gutfeld said “This is the best” and Tarlov shouted “You voted in New York!”

“What are you talking about?! Go to break! Judge, tell ’em to go to break!” a frustrated Watters said to end the segment.

WATCH:

The Fox News Channel is continuing to dominate the cable news industry, with most of its programming among the top-rated shows, and that includes “The Five.”

In fact, according to a report from AdWeek, the show was the most-watched program in cable news last week, scoring 390,000 in the coveted advertiser demographic, far ahead of Jake Tapper’s 128,000 on CNN and an unmeasurable figure for MSNBC in the same 5 p.m. EDT slot.

The outlet noted (in thousands):

Total Day: FNC: 245 | CNN: 105 | MSNBC: 108
Prime: FNC: 345 | CNN: 130 | MSNBC: 179

The outlet also noted (in millions of viewers):

Total Day: FNC: 1.914 | CNN: 540 | MSNBC: 960
Prime: FNC: 2.701 | CNN: 593 | MSNBC: 1.451

Fox News dominated in the January cable news ratings last month as well, drawing more viewers, on average, than both CNN and MSNBC combined. Jesse Watters was part of two shows — The Five and “Jesse Watters Primetime” — that were in the top 5 for viewership in January.

“Fox News still led in total day viewers, averaging 1.35 million viewers, which was down 4% from the same month a year earlier. MSNBC averaged 703,000, up 7%, while CNN posted 524,000, up 7%. In the 25-54 demo, Fox News averaged 173,000, down 23%, while CNN was up 7% with 107,000 and MSNBC rose 5% to 78,000,” Deadline reported.

Forbes added last month: “In prime time, Fox News led the cable news networks with an average total audience of 1.996 million viewers—beating CNN and MSNBC combined. Overall, Fox had fully 92 of the 100 highest-rated cable news telecasts for the week. Among viewers 25-54, the demographic group most valued by advertisers, Tucker Carlson Tonight was first with 442,000 viewers, followed by The Five (374,000 viewers), Hannity (303,000 viewers), Jesse Watters Primetime (266,000 viewers) and Special Report with Bret Baier (256,000 viewers).”
