Summary

One day, Chris Arnade strolled into an area of New York City he rarely ventured into: the Bronx. That day began a journey, spent in McDonalds and churches, in drug dens and places where the homeless congregate, for the Wall Street trader. In his new book, "Dignity: Seeking Respect in Back Row America," Arnade highlights the America too many of our elites would rather ignore. He joins the podcast to share what he learned about politics (and why he correctly predicted Donald Trump would win in 2016), religion, addiction, and much more. We also cover these stories:•There were 144,000 migrants apprehended at the U.S. - Mexico border in May.•A teacher who is transitioning from male to female made a video he showed to his elementary school students to explain his new persona.•YouTube is tightening its censorship.
