Welcome to the Eric Metaxus show with your host, Eric Metaxus.

Hey there, folks. As you know, I'm a taxis, and this is my world. But there's a guy named Jesse Waters. He claims he came up with that whole concept, and I wanted to have it out with him. He's written a book called How I Saved the World. Jesse Waters, welcome to the program.

Thanks for having me on, Eric. I appreciate it.

Well, it's a big sacrifice.

I've been trying to avoid you for a long time, but this book got my attention.

I kid, I watched you since you were doing your stuff with Bill O'Reilly.

To see you transition from that to what you're doing now, I want to say, I'm one of your biggest fans.

I have really, really been impressed not just with what you're doing now. I want to say, I'm one of your biggest fans. I have

really, really been impressed, not just with what you say, but the way you say it. And because we

live in a world where there are so few people doing what you're doing and saying things the way

you are, I thought I want to point that out to my audience. So thank you. Let's get into the book.

It's called How I Save the World. How did you save the world, Jesse Waters? Tell us. I saved myself first because anybody that knows me

needed, I know I needed saving. And this was after about 20 years at Fox News, starting in the basement, and now I get to sit next to Dana Perino and Greg Gutfeld.

Both of whom are tiny, tiny people, incredibly tiny.

Very tiny.

Now, by the way, you're not looking at the camera.

I know you're new to this.

I want you to look at the camera because I want people to see your happy, handsome face.

There he is. See? Much better. Now, Jesse, seriously, you're on the five. You're with Juan Williams. I got on a big rhubarb with Juan once on one of the Fox shows. But keep going. Sorry. A rhubarb. Well, I have to hear about this. So I got to a place in my life where I just wanted to tell these crazy stories about being at Fox and going on these adventures to these liberal bastions of just insanity. San Francisco, New Deaches, and Martha's Vineyard. And I wanted to tell these tales about ambushing bad judges and confronting celebrities and

interviewing college students on the beaches and quizzing them about American history.

And so I thought this was a great time to share it during COVID-19. I had nothing else to do except write this book. So how I saved the world went to number one, its first week on the New York Times bestseller list. And we're still on the list. And it's thanks to you. And it's thanks to all the people that they bought it and read it, and I'm just really grateful.

Hey, I get 15%. I'm just in it for the money.
