Fox News anchor Jesse Watters’ mother Anne called into her son’s first show in Tucker Carlson’s old time slot on Monday.
Jesse said: “We have a very special guest on the line, a Democrat, my mom.”
Anne said: “I want to say congratulations, honey bun, we are so proud of you and your accomplishments and you’ve worked so hard. Now let’s aim to have you keep your job.
“To that end, I do have some suggestions.
“Do not tumble into any conspiracy rabbit holes.
“We do not want to lose you and we want no lawsuits.
“I have a list here.
“In keeping with the Hippocratic Oath, do no harm.
“We need you to be kind and respectful.
“You yourself mentioned that humble is a stretch, so I get that.
“Use your voice responsibly to promote conversation that maintains a narrative thread.
“There really has been enough Biden-bashing and the laptop is old.
“Perhaps you could suggest that your people take less interest, for example, in other people’s bodies and talk about that.”
“Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,” Jesse said.
“We’re trying to keep other people’s interest away from children’s bodies.
“That was the point of that segment.”
Anne continued: “To seek solutions versus fanning the flames.
“You could encourage that Bedminster friend of yours to return to his earlier career on television.
“Everyone in his audience could wear a red hat, and I’m sure the ratings would soar.
“Although never as high, my darling, as yours on Jesse Waters Primetime, good luck.”

I think they promoted the wrong Watters. It is clear that Jesse Watters’ mom should have her own show. pic.twitter.com/RqxnJUkokK
