O'REILLY: In "Back of the Book" segment tonight, "Watters' World." You may remember a couple of years ago, Brown University in Rhode Island used student activity fees to partially fund a sex exposition.
Jesse Watters went up there to ask about it and was not greeted with enthusiasm. So, when we heard that Brown was sponsoring a Clothing Optional Week, we asked Watters to man up and go back to Brown.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE 2: You know, gender expression, gender performativity.
WATTERS: Whoa, whoa, whoa. What's gender performativity.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE 1: Really, some of the kids here are really into being naked with each other.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE 2: That's a good way for students to feel comfortable with their bodies.
WATTERS: Did you guys think that this is just a ruse to see your classmates nude.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE 3: No, there are other ways to just see your classmates nude.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE 4: Women feeling bad about their weight, men feeling bad about their weight. I think --
WATTERS: I feel bad about my weight sometimes.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE 4: So, do I, Jesse.
WATTERS: You don't need to though.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE 5: We allow people to sort of do whatever they want, whatever they feel to further their best interest.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE 2: Like if the whole thing was violence in the media, people are OK with that. But if you show one nipple, everyone goes crazy.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE 6: I don't need any extra nudity in my life.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE 6: Yes.
WATTERS: You don't need any more nudity.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE 6: No.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE 1: During exam week, we have like the Naked Doughnut Run.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE 4: What's your angle of this story.
WATTERS: If there's a naked event on a college campus, I want to know about it.
A lot of students are doing nude yoga, nude body painting.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE 3: A lot of students are playing poker. What's the educational value of that.
WATTERS: Well, Mathematics.
