Powerful Women
Guest: Jesse Watters
Jesse Watters again hit the beach to interview some women ... about other women. Some of the females could not identify photos of Nancy Pelosi or Ruth Bader Ginsburg, but were very familiar with Ellen DeGeneres and Beyoncé. Back in the studio. Watters summarized his latest adventure. "We interviewed eight women," he reported, "and not one knew Nancy Pelosi or Justice Ginsburg. Only two of them knew Hillary Clinton and they were harsh on her. But all of them loved Beyoncé and Ellen - if Ellen ran for president, she would win!"

Watters in Martha's Vineyard
Guest:Jesse Watters
Jesse Watters headed up to Martha's Vineyard, where President Obama and his family are again spending their summer vacation, and surveyed a few locals and tourists. Some of their observations: "He's going to jam up all the roads and ruin everybody's vacation" ... "I want to hug him, I love a good-looking man" ... "I think he's doing the best he can" ... "He's a great president." Back in the studio, Watters summarized the mood of the Martha's Vineyard crowd, saying, "They own this guy and they're going down with the ship, they're still with him."

Spring Break
Jesse Watters hit the Florida beaches to chew the fat with some lean college students during their spring break. A few of their trenchant observations: "I actually don't know anything about the economy" ... "Most teachers are very very liberal" ... "They tried to convert the entire class to the Muslim religion" When Watters asked the collegians to grade President Obama, his GPA was predictably mixed: "He ain't the best, but he's definitely not the worst" ... "He's such a wuss when it comes to the Republicans just pushing him around" ... "He killed Osama bin Laden, A-plus!"

American Clichés
Guest:Jesse Watters
Jesse Watters visited Coney Island in New York City where he asked people for their thoughts on clichés such as "my bad," "it's all good," and "reaching out." The Factor declared "at the end of the day" to be the worst of all clichés. "That's the worst, 'at the end of the day,'" The Factor said. "That's the worst because on TV they continue to say it."
We sent Watters out to Coney Island, Brooklyn to ask the folks what they make of some of the most common clichés including "Kick the can", "Reaching out" and "You know what I'm saying". Are people sick of these tired, old expressions? Watters gets to the bottom of it.

Rocky Mountain High
Guest:Jesse Watters
Jesse Watters headed to Colorado, where pot enthusiasts gathered over the weekend to celebrate with their favorite intoxicant. When he informed the revelers about a new study indicating that pot harms the brain, these were some of their reactions: "I never read it, but that's a false statement" ... "I still feel smarter than most people I meet." Back in New York, Watters reported that most of the weed aficionados seemed to lack motivation: "Some of them have real jobs, they're bartenders or they work with their hands. But they don't really aspire to much. When you ask where they want to be in five years, they say they don't even plan for tomorrow."

President Obama's Approval
Jesse Watters hopped a subway down to Greenwich Village, one of the most liberal enclaves in America, and asked a few locals to rate President Obama's performance. Some of their replies: "He seems pretty good, he's better than Bush" ... "At this point I'd give him a six, the job isn't getting done" ... "I'm not looking for a handout, I think that's what's wrong with this country" ... "I think Fox News makes up a lot of the scandals" ... "I don't want to sound like I'm apathetic, but I really don't care." The Factor concluded the segment with a viewer warning, saying, "We're sending Watters on a secret assignment, so you have to be here for Watters' World next Monday."

Mushroom Festival
Guest: Jesse Watters
Jesse Watters recently took a trip, so to speak, to Telluride, Colorado, where a "mushroom festival" celebrated both regular and hallucinogenic 'shrooms. Here's what a few of the attendees told Jesse: "I usually go out into the woods and I do it as a spiritual quest" ... "You actually see, like, sounds" ... "The chemicals in the mushrooms resemble the chemicals produced in the human brain already." Back in the studio, Watters reported that psychedelic mushrooms have genuine medicinal value. "Psilocybin is illegal, but there are therapeutic uses. Scientists say it can have a healing effect on the psyche, it can reduce stress, and it can create a harmonious atmosphere in the brain."
