If you thought Fox News couldn't be any more out of touch or
absurdly on the wrong side of any more issues,
you would be dead wrong because they done did it again.
Here's smarmy idiot, Jesse Watters' thoughts on the protests
in France over their president raising the retirement age.
>> Cops, war, abortion, Trump, [LAUGH] you name it, we're on the streets.
The French don't care about any of that, doesn't get them out of bed.
But the second you tell them they have to work, they do this.
>> [NOISE] >> Ignore the fact that cops and Trump and
abortion are really issues we have here, they're not French issues at the moment,
and so, that's just a very stupid thing to say in general.
They obviously wouldn't be protesting that.
But the smarm is about to go next level when he explains why he has a disdain for
those who don't wanna have to work more years of their lives away.
>> [NOISE] >> So,
why are they burning their own country down?
Well, it's because the president raised the retirement age from 62 to 64.
Yeah, and if you thought Marsha in accounts receivable hated her job,
you've never met a Frenchman.
They have a serious case of the Mondays.
>> A serious case of the Mondays, what an ass?
I guess Jesse Watters thinks that people in this world do not work enough.
The common man should happily work longer, more hours,
more days, less time off, to further line the pockets of the rich.
That's the move.
Check out the rest of this clip.
>> Also, the average Frenchman works five fewer weeks than we do, and
they wanna nuke City Hall.
Macron changed the rules without telling anybody.
But if anybody should be angry, it's all the 61 year olds out there, right?
But they're not the ones throwing the bricks through the.
It's all the 22 year olds.
They have 40 more years of work anyway.
And now they want to tip over the Eiffel Tower over, that's 42?
It would be a satirical news show if it wasn't a real news show.
These idiots at Fox News, it says Le Petit Antifa in their graphic and
the guy is holding a baguette mocking the fact that people are being asked to work
longer saying, they work five less weeks than us.
The only opinion that makes any sense there is to say, we wish we had that,
we wish we could work less.
Good for them for standing up for their own free time,
their own lives, their own getting their time back.
Instead you mock it because they're French,
what an idiotic simpleton point of view.
But that's just my thoughts, Cenk?
>> Yes, so, first of all, he started with, all these different reasons to protest,
but the French won't get out about it for that.
That's not true at all.
The French protest about a lot of things, including, by the way,
giant protests over the Iraq war that we started.
And the French are famous for, To the Barricades, okay?
[LAUGH] So, they're definitely known for protesting.
Okay, but that's a minor part of it.
I love this clip for two reasons.
One, they don't realize that they just speak from a rich man's perspective.
So he doesn't view the protesters as, people like me who have to
work longer because the rich want tax cuts or whatever it is, right?
He views it as, now they won't work for us anymore.
I need you to work for more years, okay.
Plebeians, get back to work, okay?
>> And what's wrong with work?
I'm Jesse Watters.
I get $10 million a year for spewing these smarmy opinions.
>> Exactly, cuz he's representing the incredible wealthy and
that's the job of Fox News.
Second reason why I love it is, Fox News viewers,
are you really at home going, yeah man, we should work more years.
Wait, should we?
The French are so terrible for protesting working.
Wait, do I really wanna work that many years?
Do I really want my social security and
Medicare that I paid into my whole life to come later?
Wait, shouldn't I agree with these French guys?
And then he says, the French work five weeks less on average than we do.
The guy at home, he's gotta be thinking, wait, how did they do that?
Okay, that sounds pretty good.
I wanna work five weeks less.
They did that cuz they actually have a democracy and
their representatives have to represent them.
We don't have a democracy.
All of our politicians are bribed, but yet Fox News populist never talks about that.
Isn't it weird that they never talk about the bribery?
Instead they go, back to the mines, if you're 62, 64, here in America,
the guys like Jesse Watters wants their retirement age now to be 70.
That's what Republicans are pushing for.
Back to the mines for all of you.
And probably a lot of the Fox News audience was, yes,
back to the mines when I'm 69, wait, what?
>> Cenk, in the words of another hip hop, can I kick it?
>> The answer was yes.
>> Yes, you can.
>> [CROSSTALK] >> I didn't, I'm sorry about that.
>> Jesse Watters' worst moments, I put them together.
Are you ready?
This guy is giant douche, called on people to ambush Doctor Fauci, and
he promised to promote the attack on Fox News.
He interviewed Asian people in New York and asked them if they knew karate.
He stuck a microphone in a homeless person's face and
asked what drugs they liked.
He made a sexual joke about how Ivanka Trump holds a microphone.
And then surprisingly, he took a paid vacation.
He said Donald Trump wanting to build a wall was not racist.
He is a disciple of Bill O'Reilly, he started out as a PA.
Trump loved him enough to grant him an interview on Air Force One,
that says everything.
Said terrorists are always Muslims, his words.
Said the US was not founded on slavery.
Said this country loves each and every life, it's odd.
And on the street, he asked a black man, where's your dad?
So let me just say, Jesse Watters is one of the worst bad faith actors,
and there are plenty at that network, but he does this all intentionally.
So any time you see him, just know the laundry list of poor behavior
that he has had prior to this until we show another diabolical clip of his.
>> Yeah, the main point of Jesse Watters is to make fun of minorities and
have the Fox News audience think that that's hilarious.
[LAUGH] karate!
Black people, they don't know their dad!
[LAUGH] That's so funny, I love racism.
Said the Fox news audience, prove me wrong.
Say, hey, we're Republicans and we're not racist,
this Jesse Watters guy really bothers us.
We're Republicans, we don't wanna work till we're 70.
We want to have five weeks off like the French do, five weeks extra.
Why don't we have politicians that represent us?
Get Jesse Watters off the air.
None of you are gonna do that cuz you like what he's saying.
Okay, prove me wrong.
