Introduction
The author shares their journey as a successful cable news personality, focusing on their curiosity and semi-condescending attitude. They have been influenced by Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, Laura Ingraham, and Brit Hume, who have all provided valuable advice and advice. O'Reilly suggested keeping the email segment and giving viewers a window into the author's thoughts and personal life. Hannity advised being true to oneself, as the audience can tell when a story is not interesting. Carlson advised taking care of mental health and focusing on the show, family, and friends. Laura Ingraham highlighted the challenge of covering the same story from different angles, emphasizing the importance of being an original thinker and being creative. Brit Hume advised not to sleep with his assistant, and the author cast a wide net inside and outside Fox, including Bob Costas, Bret Baier, Steve Doocy, Anthony Scaramucci, Mark Levin, and Greg Gutfeld.
After the launch of Jesse Watters Primetime, the author achieved great ratings, ranking number three in all of cable news. The author's busy schedule includes working, co-hosting The Five, hosting Primetime, and balancing work and personal life.
The narrator's back breaks, and he is unable to walk or stand. His wife calls 911, and paramedics take him to the ER. The paramedic reveals that the scene was chaotic, with people moving around in the dead man's cell. The narrator is taken to the hospital, where he is numb and narcotics are used to numb the pain. A hostile homeless woman makes a scene, demanding a shower and a shower. The woman falls off the toilet and hits her head, bleeding. The narrator needs a private room, and the doctor doesn't believe him.
An MRI results in a severely herniated disc, and an epidural shot is given. The narrator goes back to work, but struggles to get in and out of a car. He sees a surgeon, who tells him that he needs surgery right away due to losing sensation in his Achilles and strength in his right leg. The doctor warns him that he cannot risk riding a train to DC, as it could paralyze him.
The doctor explains that sitting is the new smoking, and humans aren't designed to sit all day. The narrator's office chair, a crooked Chesterfield executive swivel desk chair, is causing the back injury. The narrator's assistant Johnny assembles the chair, which blows out his back, causing him to avoid sleeping with his assistant.
The author, Watters, had a microdiscectomy and was out of work for two weeks. After five months of recovery, Watters changed his lifestyle and became more aware of other people's pain. He interviewed out-of-the-mainstream Americans and found that their maverick ideology was rooted in personal struggle. Formative experiences in their youth played a significant role in shaping their political beliefs.
Many of the characters interviewed had chaotic childhoods, leading to psychological reasons for their beliefs. Sociopathic parents are creating a strange generation, with children being traumatized and spit out into adulthood. This traumatization leads to a reaction to what they experienced growing up, such as drug addiction, sex addiction, and societal issues.
The author found that people join movements not always because the movement makes logical sense, but often because they want attention. The book examines why people believe humans are going extinct this century, and what makes them believe it.
The book covers a range of individuals, from true believers to larks, attention whores, and academic nihilists. Abuse runs through most of them, psychic and emotional. A lack of respect for others is often justified, and some don't respect themselves.
The author discovered that people have issues, and these issues are getting bigger and crazier due to the internet and political correctness. People project their problems onto the rest of society, making them their own problems. They do not need a social revolution because someone has personal problems, and they cannot pay the price for their suffering. To fix their problems, Watters suggests being better than their parents, which is easy for most people.
The Open Borders Professor
Open borders activist Joe Carens, a political philosopher at the University of Toronto, argues that borders should generally be open and people should be free to leave their country of origin and settle wherever they choose. He believes that the concept of borders is fundamentally unfair and that we have a responsibility to transform it. Carens's political philosophy is based on a oneworldism reminiscent of the 1960s hippie movements. He believes that we are all vulnerable in various ways and that the world is not fair to everybody.
Joe's dream is a goo-goo oneworldism à la hippie movements of the 1960s. He believes that life isn't fair in nature, sports, business, or anything. He believes that we have a responsibility to transform it and that the "life's not fair" slogan depends on how that is used. He believes that when it comes to fairness, it depends on what one means by political philosophy and what does not actually exist.
Carens's approach to open borders is not putting America First, as unchecked illegal immigration is not fair to American workers or taxpayers. Instead, he focuses on what's fair to the American people, not what's fair to the world. By focusing on the American people, Carens aims to create a more just and equitable world.
Joe, a political science professor, argues for a world without borders by appealing to American values. He believes that the values of America, which exist within borders, are the basis for a world without borders. However, Joe also plays the blame game, claiming that a just world would solve immigration problems. He believes that most people would prefer to live in their communities, and that if they did, they should have the legal right to claim different citizenship.
Joe's ideal world is one where people born in different countries stay put, with no integration. He believes that if it's impossible and detrimental to American prosperity, why should America prioritize making life fair and equal in every other country? He also questions whether America's own citizens would support this idea, as he is a political theorist and not focusing on public policy debates.
Joe's expertise lies in philosophy, and he believes that restructuring the world to make things more fair is outside his area of expertise. He argues that if America puts its citizens on the back burner and tries to make life fair and equal in every other country, it would be a different world.
Joe, an Ivy League-educated professor, is adamant about the need to address climate change, racism, and income inequality. He believes that American taxpayers should pay for housing, food, and college tuition for foreigners in foreign countries. However, he acknowledges that abolition of borders is not a solution to the problems of the world and that a plan for implementation requires engagement with reality. Joe's detachment from reality is purposeful, as he believes that focusing on what's possible in the world is not the best approach.
When asked about the top three issues he is tackling, Joe focuses on climate change, racism, gender equality, and sexuality. He wants same-sex relationships to be acceptable worldwide, and he wants capitalism to benefit poor countries. However, he is disappointed that he has not shown a workable plan to solve these problems. Democrat politicians are heavily influenced by professors like Joe, who point in the direction of fairness and virtue without a workable plan to get there.
Joe's role as a privileged person is to help the vulnerable, but his reliance on a privileged position and lack of a workable plan makes him a potential target for Democrat politicians.
Joe, an Ivy League-educated, straight, white male, tenured professor living in North America, admits to feeling guilty about his white privilege. He is deeply committed to gender equality and sees racism in academic life in various ways. Joe is an ally of a professor who identifies as a person of color on a tenure track, but he is not doing much in his own life to fight injustice.
Joe's guiding principle is fairness, and he longs for a world that is just or fair. He believes that if we find ourselves in a world, we have to reflect upon whether the institutions that exist are just or fair, and if they are unfair, we should try to change them to make them fairer.
Joe's aversion to the unfairness of the here and now, preference for abstract possibility over practical reality, and focus on what could be over the nature of what is all functions of a man who finds comfort in a world of dreams, rather than the world as it is. His struggle with racism and his desire for strong institutional protection under the banner of universal amnesty make him a compelling dream in the end.
The BLM Supporter
Emily, a white beauty and fashion publicist, is getting divorced and facing lawsuits from her entire family, except her brother. During an interview, Emily reveals that her lawyers don't need to know everything because she is nervous and energetic. She has been working for twelve years with her main client, "Crackhead Barney," a black woman who dresses up and harasses conservatives. Emily, who bills herself as an antiracist activist, believes that she is making money off fake black crackheads and that her white privileged upbringing goes against their values.
Emily, a white woman, married a finance guy and followed a white girl lifestyle. She also became a stay-at-home mom. Emily's sister, an influencer, gained notoriety in New York City for drug use, which contributed to her antiracism. Emily and her sister were raised in a stone, cold mansion, which was creepy and retaliatory. They protested against Rupert Murdoch's house and the New York Post, which they protested against. Emily's antiracism is more about hating her family than white supremacy.
Emily's parents were atypical, with her father being a psychiatrist and her mom a psychotherapist. Emily felt oppressed by her father's drug dealing and privilege, which led to her becoming addicted to Adderall. Her father was Washington, DC's top psychiatrist due to his extensive drug prescriptions. Emily's left-wing activism began as a revolt against her parents' authority, as she had to learn to use her voice in different ways. Growing up, her father told her not to drive in black neighborhoods and to be two cars behind the car in front of her.
Emily's parents were both narcissistic and feared her, making everything appear like a disorder. They constantly diagnosed her with depression and used pills to treat her. Emily's father was abusive and physically abusive towards her, especially with her. She had a loud voice and was always the one to call out when something wasn't right. One night, Emily almost killed her father with a knife, but after the incident, her father made a move. Emily's parents' abusive behavior left her questioning the need for fear.
Emily, a 14-year-old girl, was kidnapped and sent to Cross Creek Manor, a therapeutic boarding school in Utah run by Mormons. The for-profit institution is run by parents who pay for their children to attend. Emily was sent away at the age of fourteen due to her virginity and past drug use. The boarding school is a cult that brainwashes its students, limiting their contact with the outside world. Emily experienced PTSD and got pregnant at fifteen. When she returned from Utah, her father allowed her to hang out with a boy from her past, who she lost her virginity to.
Emily, a woman who had an abortion, shares her lifelong struggle with her father, who was a hypocrite and a pro-lifer. Her mother, a shopaholic, took her to get the abortion and later, on the way back, she went shopping at Nordstrom Rack while she was still diaper-wearing. Emily's mother also had diabetes and an eating disorder, making her unable to eat. She would pass out in the middle of Nordstrom Rack, requiring her to run to Starbucks for sugar packets. The author asks Emily if they can option the rights to her life story.
A mom, Emily, is taken to Planned Parenthood by her father, who wants her to attend Duke. Emily, her sister, and brother never make it to Duke, and Emily majored in sociology and family studies. Her brother, a teacher, disappears, and her father used to say he could have gotten any woman he wanted. Emily eventually married her father's son, who is a finance professional and sports enthusiast. The film is a dark comedy that would be profitable, but the author is criticized for casting Kristen Stewart as Emily.
Emily's ex proposed with a Ring Pop and got married at City Hall, despite her father's disapproval. He gave her a house in exchange for a wedding, which worked. The marriage fell apart, and Emily's father was against it. Emily is now getting a divorce, which she finds fun, but her father is against it. The divorce is partly due to her father losing his ex, which she considers selfish and ruined his life. Emily's activism began after hitting her ex with a hairbrush, which she believes was never a good idea.
Emily, a stay-at-home mom, faced abandonment charges for following police orders, affecting her work as a police officer. She lost her children and struggled financially, with her father suing her and missing court dates. The divorce began around George Floyd's death, causing generational trauma from conservative upbringing. Emily started protesting to unlearn negative teachings and dismantle her white privilege. She found her voice in Black Lives Matter protests, which helped her stay sane and connect with others. Emily believes that Black Lives Matter is like a family.
