Jesse Watters: Last News

When he interviewed people for his man-on-the-street segments, Fox News personality Jesse Watters typically only got to talk to them for 10 minutes at most. Now that he’s a primetime host, he has even less time to get into it with interview subjects.

How did they end up with their worldviews? What gave them these radical ideas?” he writes.“I set out looking to interview out-of-the-mainstream Americans. Not debate them, just listen to their life stories. I’d listen for two hours, three hours, sometimes four. What I found was that their maverick ideology was rooted in personal struggle. I’d always assumed someone’s political belief system was based upon the books they’d read or the media they’d consumed. Not entirely. A big factor in a person’s policy preference or political identity? Formative experiences in their youth.”He writes that “many of the characters I interviewed for this project had experienced drugs and alcohol early” and “almost all of them had disastrous parents.”The resulting book is divided into 22 chapters, each focusing on a extreme leftist and looking at not just what they believe but how they came to believe it.
