Fox News’ Jesse Watters got some no-nonsense advice from his own mother on Monday – and a warning not to lose his job – as he officially took over the conservative station’s 8pm slot previously occupied by Tucker Carlson.

“In keeping with the Hippocratic Oath: do no harm,” continued Anne Watters. “You must be kind and respectful.”

“You could encourage your Bedminster friend to return to his former career on television. Everyone in your audience could wear a red hat and I’m sure the ratings would skyrocket, although never as high my darling as you did on ‘Jesse Watters Primetime’.”
