Fox News host Jesse Watters says the arts of persuasion and listening are “lost” on “Jesse Watters Primetime.”
JESSE WATTERS: Nearly 250 years ago, our Founding Fathers debated the proper form of government. The Federalists wanted a strong federal government. The Anti-Federalists didn’t. They hashed out that balance through the art of persuasion and the art of listening. Both of those arts are lost today.
In modern America, the minority just tells the majority what they need. Leaders who nobody appointed believe they have the authority to speak for others.

The real power in Washington is not the politicians, it’s the people behind the scenes. Fetterman’s chief of staff is the real senator. Feinstein’s aide tells her how to vote. We’re being represented by people we didn’t elect. These people claim they have our back, but they don’t. We’re at a place in history where the public has never had such a powerful voice, yet no one’s listening to us. Self-appointed leaders instead seize on our scream, stand by our side, and then just walk home without lifting a finger.
