Fox News host Jesse Watters took many by surprise this week when he spoke about his wife amid storms hitting the United States.
During a segment on the popular program “The Five,” Watters and the panel spoke about Hurricanes Helene and Milton and the devastation left behind. Watters joked about how he “gets everything organized” during storms while his wife “doesn’t have a clue” about how bad they can get in Florida.
Below is a transcript of the conversation, via Grabien:
GUTFELD: “Yeah. She should have been made the hurricane czar, Jesse.”
WATTERS: “That is such a great point. They could’ve done and they probably would’ve gotten away with it. I wouldn’t have let her get away with it, but most normal people would’ve, would’ve attacked her for anything. When storms hit, I love it.”
WATTERS: “I relish it, because then I get everything organized at the house. You make sure the generator is on, you make sure the plow guy is gonna come the next day, you have food, you have gas in the car. That’s what we do. And then Emma will, like, leave the car out. I’m like, ‘Babe, it’s going to snow like 12 inches. Get the car in the garage. What are you thinking?’ She doesn’t get it.”
PERINO: “You definitely don’t talk to her like that.”
WATTERS: “It’s true. It’s true. So when storms hit, like, DeSantis, he thrives under the circumstances, right, and to a certain extent Biden and Trump do too. He has his map, he’s like ready to call the police, he’s ready to call National Guard, he’s waiting for the data to come in, he’s warning people. There’s something that people do when we protect our people, and he’s very skilled at that. Kamala Harris has not shown any inclination to be able to do that. The first hurricane she was at a party. The second hurricane she was drinking with Stephen. This is actually the first time she’s ever even tweeted about a hurricane in four years. This does not come naturally to her. I’m not saying it’s a guy thing, but she has shown no ability to take action in this circumstance. Now, you are also right about Kamala and being the VP. She’s not in the chain of command. So you have a sitting president who is not running for reelection because he was so terrible, so the VP has to run for the presidency, but he’s still in command of the hurricane. And then a former president is out there and he’s facing off against the sitting president and they’re, like, squaring off, and she’s like, ‘Hey, can I play? Can I get in this?’ She’s just getting in the way, and that’s the problem. She’s getting in the way.”
GUTFELD: “Should she stay in the kitchen, Jesse? Is that what you’re saying.”
WATTERS: “No, Greg! She should stay — “
TARLOV: “So you’re not saying it’s a masculinity thing at all?”
WATTERS: “I’m not. No, I’m not. I used to be terrible with storms. I just — I grew up.”
GUTFELD: “Yeah. You evolved.”
