רוח מערבית - The Western Spirit

#186 - Batya Ungar-Sargon

Listen Later

In this episode, I had the privilege of speaking with Batya Ungar-Sargon, a leading voice on the intersection of media, politics, and the struggles of America’s working and middle classes. She is the opinion editor of Newsweek Magazine and the author of "Second Class: How the Elites Betrayed America's Working Men and Women" — Batya offers a compelling analysis of the forces shaping today’s society.

We explore the critical challenges facing the middle class in America and beyond:

  • Why is the middle class shrinking, and what led us to this point?
  • What role does Donald Trump play in addressing—or perpetuating—this crisis?
  • Elites vs. the working class: how this growing divide influences political and social policies.
  • A deep dive into the central arguments of Batya’s latest book.
  • The immigration crisis: what policies caused it, and who stands to gain?
  • What’s Batya’s take on the anti-israel protests?

    • This conversation is filled with sharp insights and thought-provoking perspectives. If you’re looking to better understand the polarization of modern society and the underlying issues driving it, this episode is a must-listen.
