How I Saved the World Audiobook Summary

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!

At one of the most chaotic periods in American history, in a time of national distrust and despair, one tanned TV host holds the key to the future.

In How I Saved the World, Jesse Watters takes readers on a tour of his life from basement-dwelling Fox minion to pampered champion of right-thinking Americans. He has divined great truths about the nature of our country while stumbling across beaches asking oblivious college students basic political questions and while stumbling out of Air Force One with the President.

Interspersed are his thoughtful suggestions for overcoming left-wing radicalism, maintaining American democracy, moving beyond aging hippies (like his long-suffering, loving parents), saving the world from social justice warriors and the deep state–all while smirking his way through life in only the nicest way.

Watters outlines the stark choice ahead of us between all-American hamburgers and leftist Green New Deal breadlines (okay, maybe that one is a no-brainer) and shows the way for order and fairness to be restored. A manifesto and a call-to-arms from a man for all seasons, How I Saved the World is a hilarious, enlightening, entertaining book with a reasonable chance of winning a Nobel Prize in every category, even chemistry.

What's not to loveI loved and laughed in the beginning. I thought and stopped sometimes during the reading. I finished with I loved the book, I love Jesse,I love The Five.Thank you Jesse for allowing us to see you and daily attempt to figure out Gutfeld! I never miss his program either.

A book of memoirs by the immensely likable Jesse Watters. If you are a fan of his, you will like his book.

Appreciate the insightI liked Trump because I was sick of America having to kiss the feet of the olpec oil tyrants. It was good to see an American President stand up to the enemies of our country. It's never a intelligent move to expect perfection from a mere man. In spite of his imperfections he did good things for this country. Thank you for the enlightenment.

I don't usually read non-fiction but I heard Jesse Watters talking about this on TV. There was something in what he said that made me think I might like this. It is written as an almost comedic biography but it was so interesting to hear his history and get some of the background of how the tv news industry works. It was also interesting hearing about Trump as a regular person and no just how he is portrayed. I thought it was worth my time and I'm glad I read it. Now back to fiction where I belong.

Watters' conversational style, personal experiences, political insights and razor-sharp wit are key components in his compelling story — one that delivers tremendous payoff — from his account of a certain harrowing NYC subway ride to recollections of being raised by ultra liberal parents to the startling revelation that during his time working at The O'Reilly Factor, many staff members were — democrats.His lifelong work ethic is impressive. Earning his current celebrated FOX News status, Watters "did what (he) was told," as he climbed the ladder from the basement newsroom to the executive boardroom, from behind-the-scenes anonymity to front-and-center notoriety. Watters cooks with gas, reflecting on his past journalistic missions, from Hollywood high-clearance events to a Florida nude beach resort to an Ivy League gay sex party. He even once rescued the baby Jesus from the clutches of Satan — sorta. Love him or hate him, "How I Saved the World" is as edge-of-your-seat riveting as it is laugh-out-loud funny. And as Watters himself points out frequently throughout, he's "the nicest guy in the world."From puffed-up to self-deprecating, Watters' engaging and candid sense of humor drives the story, as he takes readers on his 300-page ambush — making friends, burning bridges and dropping names all along the way. However, a few names have been changed, e.g. Ruddy Balzac — priceless. And his mom's near-endless slew of scathing text messages are hilarious.Even Watters likely would confess that the book's bold title might overreach a smidge. Clearly a multi tasker, he can peck at his keyboard and wink at his audience simultaneously. And by not taking himself too seriously, he lets us all in on the gag. Although I'd dispute the claim that he "saved the world," for a guy like me who was starved for a seasonal treat, Watters definitely at least saved my summer.-Christopher Long(July 2021)

I like Jesse Waters and admire the work he does on Fox. This book was good, but I expected something better. His writing style is much the same as he speaks, which is what I like. Some things went into too much detail and others had not enough. Other chapters seemed to have bounce around, something I don't like.

This book killed me on so many fronts. Maybe I like my politics pithy with a snarky undertone. I have learned more about our country in 18 months of being a Republican than in 40 years of being a Democrat, and it's because of personalities like Jesse Watters, whose no-nonsense approach to journalism makes too much rational sense to be ignored. Once you see what is uncovered, you can't unsee it, and you can't go back. The bonus - and it's a big one - is how much more f*ing fun it is on the other side. It doesn't take itself too seriously, because nobody should. Life's too short, and boy did I waste a lot of it with a misguided sense of self-righteousness. As Jesse says, "Political correctness is a trivial pursuit for people who have it too good. Again, it's white college liberals being offended on behalf of someone else."His quotes from Gutfeld cracked me up, 2 favorites: "If you're going to kill your spouse, take them hiking" and "I fucking hate the ocean".And I know Trump is polarizing, but he's effing funny. When asked by Jesse during his first presidential visit to the White House what Trump thought Hilary was up to now, he responds, "Crooked? What's she doing now? She's not being president." How can anyone not laugh at that? Republicans are a good freaking time.

This book was really funny and did a good job of highlighting what Jesse has done since graduating college. I've forgotten some of his Factor shticks so those were fun to relive. There were really no personal stories though and those sprinkled in would've been nice to know that side of Jesse. Even if someone doesn't agree with his politics, they would probably still enjoy this book.

Well, if you like Jesse Watters (I do), you will enjoy this book. It is basically an autobiography. Jesse talks a bit about his upbringing, his adolescence, and how he came to have his conservative political views. He talks about his early jobs, how he came to work for Fox News, and discusses many of his assignments during his role as a "man on the street" for the O'Reilly Factor, as well as his current weekend show, Watter's World. He does all of this in an informative, interesting, and humorous manner. This is a quick, easy read, and thoroughly enjoyable. As I said, if you are a fan of Jesse Watters, you will be a fan of this book.

This was a really funny book! This is a memoir of Jesse Watters' life and rise in the news/TV world. He has some very self-deprecating humor about his failures at various early attempts in his career. I enjoyed his experiences with "ambush interviews" and "man on the street" interviews. It would definitely be challenging to do these interviews. He approaches his career, his opinions, and his life with sarcasm and a refreshing sense of humor. A fun, quick read.
