Jesse Watters has found himself in hot water after making what many viewers are calling a "disgusting" statement about new testosterone testing in the U.S. military, RadarOnline.com can report.
The Fox News host's attempt at humor was so poorly received that even his colleagues were left stunned and speechless.
Jesse Watters' Remarks Stunned His Colleagues

Watters and his fellow panelists on Fox's The Five were discussing Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's new requirement that military members over the age of 30 will be screened for testosterone deficiency each year. If soldiers are recommended for treatment, it would then be their decision whether they wanted to choose to receive testosterone replacement therapy.

The 48-year-old conservative smiled and chuckled as he tried to crack a joke about servicemen who opt for the therapy, gleefully warning women that the soldiers would be overly aggressive.
"You know what's going to happen? The guys that don't need it are gonna take it - triple boost. And then they're going to get out there and women on base, you better be careful," Watters said. "Port calls, women in Asia, you better be careful. Because these guys are going to be wild animals, and you better watch out."
While he grinned at his own attempt at humor, those sitting around him squirmed in their seats, trying to figure out what to say in response.
Critics Lash Out at Jesse Watters

However, critics on X had no problem using their words, with many equating Watters' comments to an excuse for "rape".

"So he's really going to laugh about possible rape in the military and overseas by servicemen," one person tweeted. "There is no bottom for this s--t stain."
Another person slammed, "This guy holds the undisputed crown for brainless commentary," while a third person blasted, "What an absolutely wild and abhorrent representation of our servicemen and women."
One person pondered, "Please tell me joking about rape has not become acceptable on your network, @FoxNews?"
And one angry person raged, "What an absolutely disgusting statement, but not surprised since Fox News and Republicans support rapists *cough cough Donald Trump cough cough*."
Jesse Watters' Wit Has Run Dry in the Past

Watters has found himself in trouble for making offensive, suggestive jokes in the past. Earlier this year, he apparently tried to make light of Jeffrey Epstein's alleged s-x trafficking empire, suggesting Epstein was "mostly just a fixer, a guy who advises."

He added, "He helps people with their problems. Sometimes those problems are, 'You need a girl?'" and "If you need it, he's got it."
Co-host Greg Gutfeld responded with a shrug and a smirk: "He's a s-x rabbi," prompting laughter from Watters, who then joked that Epstein should perform at next year's Super Bowl halftime show.
No Laughing Matter
MEGA
Once again, social media erupted as viewers called out the hosts for joking about Epstein's crimes.
"Because human trafficking and child rape is funny to these two idiots?" one X user said, referring to Watters and Gutfeld. "This house of cards cannot collapse fast enough."
"Holy h---, not you guys downplaying it too," a YouTube viewer said.

First, TRT does not turn men into wild animal rapists.
Second, Jessie Watters, like too many people, thinks rape is hilarious. And people are tuning in to watch this asshole.
jessie watters is a maga scumbag.
He should be fired. The military already has a sexual assault problem. It's not a joke
When you're the party that elected a guy after you heard him admit on tape that he sexually assaults women, "I don't even wait" "grab 'em pussy", you become the party of rape and sexual assault. It's why incel's feel so comfortable in the new Trumpublican party, they've been advocating for their right to just go out and assault women for years. It's no secret that these right-wing conservative and 'manosphere' influencers actively normalize sexual assault and push misogynistic narratives, so hearing Jesse Waters say the quiet part out loud is no surprise. It's what these gross white nationalist white supremacist rightwing religious conservatives fantasize about and why they have no problem supporting an admitted sexual predator and accused pedophile who once said of his daughter "If Ivanka weren't my daughter, perhaps I'd be dating her". Rightwing religious conservatives can forgive raping women, pedophilia and incest, it's almost their bread-and-butter vices. The line for them is drawn at two adults of the same gender falling in love, having consensual sex and daring to want to get married.
gop = guardians of pedophiles
maga = molesting and grooming adolescents
You know how they have words for when you see a group of some animals, like a 'murder' of crows. They should call a large group of pedophile protectors a 'grift'.
gop = grift of pedophiles
that works for me ...
the best I could come up with -
a skidmark of maga ...
a splattering of maga ...
a settling pond of maga ...
... so I'm locked into a pretty narrow theme.
a scat of maga...
a dunce of maga...
a rot of maga...
a rankle of maga...
an ulcerate of maga...
a feeble of maga...
I love it!
They all deserve each other.
Pete Hegseth probably thought the crack was hilarious though.
You can take testosterone when you don't need it. . . and it will have negative side-effects. . .triple boost. . . .
impotence?
users getting their dicks stuck in difficult to explain spaces ...
so basically, nothing new for maga types ...
I can boost your testosterone with just a name. jonathan capehart.
see? that name took you out for 36 hours so far ...
What are you doing to my good friend CB?
I gave him a mental testosterone boost ...
Really, 'D'? My testosterone levels are just fine (I had it checked in 2024).
What is going on with me is I simply have nothing (much) to share in these discussing happening. . . so I just come and read. . . .
That said, I do find it curious you would 'sic' Jonathan Capehart on me in discussion. I do not keep up with him at all in the media actually. My 'flavor' would be (if I was into doing anything) Ari Melber (MSNBC), Boris Sanchez (CNN), Omar Jimenez (CNN) type. 'Back-n-the-day' it was T. J. Holmes that brought the 'milkshake' to the yard. . . .
Seriously, I am just here reading these days. . . will add something when it is appropriate.
no offense intended, your avatar reminds me of jonathan ...
Jonathan Capehart is okay as a journalist. Not a problem, really. It is just that 'I' would not know what to 'do' with him in a relationship. (Pretty sure that 'back in the day' he would not have made the (testosterone) Cut!)
He's a handsome man. I just googled him
Well, in this 'community' there are certain considerations (types and attractions). . . Jonathan could be a good friend to me. . .not a 'mate.'
For example: Some people are into 'bears' (if you understand the parlance). . . fine for them. . .just not my type even on a down day. And no, I do not think Jonathan is a 'bear.' . . . Ironically, on air, he appears to (me to) be holding back (guarding) his 'flame'! 
so, you want to be run down and tackled by an NFL linebacker then ...
kinky ...
... jk, whatever is cool with me ...
Not anymore. . .remember I am a celibate. . . back in the day though - Tight-ends. . . "Hey-holla!"
Okay, back to the subject of this article. . . . Why does'nt FOX 'desk' Waters? Such a reckless comment can get girls and women hurt by men in abusive relationships. . . after all, it stirs something up (potentially) in males when they here their "heroes" mention a type of 'therapy' for the male libido plus. Furthermore, Hegseth is fully aware of the comprehensive nature of men on 'roids' and using hormones (when they do not need them). However, he, Hegseth, wants 'berserker' forces 'on call.' All 'tank' all the time. What they are/do when home. . . to their spouses and significant others - good, bad, indifferent, is not of concern to him.
THANK YOU, devangelical.
It was the ONLY CHRISTIAN thing to do, other than nailing his PATOOKA to a CROSS!
see? common ground ...
GPT- 5.4 nano.
Taking testosterone when you don’t need it (i.e., not for confirmed hypogonadism or another medically indicated reason) can cause side effects directly from extra androgens, and it can also disrupt your body’s own hormone production.
Common side effects
Acne and oily skin
Hair changes (in people prone to male-pattern baldness)
Mood changes (irritability, anxiety, or sometimes increased aggression)
Sleep-related breathing problems: can worsen sleep apnea
Fluid retention (swelling) and increased blood pressure in some people
Increased red blood cell count (erythrocytosis) → can thicken blood and raise risk of clots in susceptible people
Lower fertility / testicular shrinkage (reduced sperm production)
Sexual/reproductive effects
Lower sperm count and reduced fertility
Testicles may become smaller over time
Gynecomastia (breast tissue growth) due to conversion of testosterone to estrogen (more likely with higher dosing or certain formulations)
Changes in libido (varies—can increase or sometimes decrease)
Heart and blood-vessel risks (higher concern at higher doses or with certain people)
Worsening cholesterol profile (often lower HDL, sometimes higher LDL)
Higher cardiovascular risk is a concern particularly if you:
have existing heart disease risk factors,
use higher-than-prescribed doses,
stack other anabolic agents,
or develop high hematocrit from testosterone.
Liver and metabolic effects (depends on formulation)
Oral testosterone (especially certain alkylated forms) is more likely to affect liver enzymes.
Injectable/transdermal forms generally have less direct liver strain, but metabolic effects can still occur.
Testosterone “crash” / hormone suppression after stopping
If you use testosterone without a medical need, your body often suppresses natural testosterone production. When stopping, some people experience:
fatigue, low libido, low mood
temporary erectile dysfunction
difficulty recovering normal testosterone levels
Other less common but serious risks
Worsening prostate symptoms (e.g., urinary symptoms); screening matters depending on age/risk
Gynecomastia
Clotting events (especially if hematocrit rises too high)
Severe acne or skin infections (from acne severity)
Seizures are rare but have been reported, particularly in people with underlying risk factors
When it’s especially risky
You’re more likely to run into problems if you have or are at risk for:
sleep apnea
high hematocrit / polycythemia
heart disease, prior stroke, uncontrolled high blood pressure
kidney disease
untreated prostate issues
family history of clotting disorders
liver disease (particularly relevant to oral forms)
