Ok, I tried it again, at least 5 times over two years, Jessie Waters, how does he still have a show

when all he spews is hate, opinion sided sentences, always pushes the limit and, for me, over the legal limit
for misogyny, racism and incitement.


I'll check again, in a few months, I usually try to watch for at least ten minutes but usually stop after just a few

is this self abuse??

IIRC, he was a protégé of Bill O'Reilly.

BS doesn't even begin to cover it.

But the real problem is that he is dangerous - he incites hatred and puts targets on peoples' backs. He depicts ALL left leaning people and Dems as evil, dangerous, violent, crazy...and out to get [you] his audience.

It is good to be aware of what he is up to, because he is a loaded missile aimed at the rest of us.

I watch, so others don't have to. I sometimes share fact checks on social media. (Yes, it is painful - Mr. Dahlia has threatened to put parental controls on the remote.)

when he had his mom on the phone, she does not agree with his politics, the level of crap he spews almost makes me ill, not fear

and put people at risk with your words. I think what he does is not unlike yelling fire in a crowded theater.
