Fox News' Jesse Watters claims that Sports Illustrated swimsuit models were ‘obese' during the Biden era
Fox News host Jesse Watters claimed that America's swimsuit models were obese during the four years of Joe Biden 's presidency. During a weekend instalment of Jesse Watters Primetime in which the host and pundit Julie Banderas were discussing the latest Sports Illustrated runway show in Miami, the latter described the event as 'a great strip show,' adding archly: 'Did you see what they weren't wearing?' 'This is a strip show?' Watters responded. 'No, it was a Sports Illustrated runway walk, but none of them actually have covered their behinds,' Banderas replied. 'But that's not my issue.' Pivoting to discussing model Livvy Dunne, who had performed the splits on the catwalk, the pundit continued: 'I don't have a problem with her because she actually was a gymnast and she actually did compete for the national championships for LSU [Louisiana State University]. 'I have competitive gymnast kids, so I respect that she can do a split. I don't know if doing it in a thong is appropriate.' From there, Watters began to riff: 'Remember back in the Biden era, all of the swimsuit models were obese. This is a good change. This is a healthy change of pace.' 'And it is Sports Illustrated,' Banderas chimed in, without picking him up on the observation. 'They're athletes. She's obviously very athletic. I mean, that's all I was thinking about. Weren't you? Weren't you thinking about her athletic ability when she made that turn there? Like right now, you're probably thinking she's probably really good at squats.' 'I'm not even looking at the screen,' Watters joked, before challenging Banderas to speculate on the extent of his own athletic prowess. 'How flexible do you think I am? Do you think I could do a straddle?' This controversial remark is far from a first for Watters.

Julie Banderas: It's Time To Bring Back Respect In This Country
Fox News Anchor Julie Banderas joins Fox Across America With Jimmy Failla to shed light on what inspired her to write the new children's book, A Monumental Mistake . 'This book is about respect, and honestly, I couldn't find a better time to be talking about respect because right now in this country, I mean, it's just awful. The adults and the teenagers and the college students, the protests, nobody understands how to respect one another anymore, and I don't think respect should be an old-fashioned thing. You know, you're saying, yes, ma'am, no, ma'am, that's just the tip of the iceberg. But just showing kids how to respect one another, respecting those who came before them, respecting history. I think that that's been lost. And I think there's just such a high level of hatred in this country that I believe parents are now putting on their kids and kids are taking it to school. Kids don't respect one another. They don't their elders. They don t respect their parents. They talk back to their teachers. It's disgusting. It's like an urgent crisis as far as I'm concerned, and if we don't do something about it fast, the next generation is going to be full of a bunch of brats, which quite frankly that's what we've got going on right now. So I feel like there's got to be like an emergency intervention to reverse the next generation from becoming even worse. So that's sort of the point of Monumental Mistake is, you know, just to tell stories to children, it's the best way to teach a lesson to kids is by telling stories.'
