Donald Trump's shock victory over Hillary Clinton in 2016

highlighted the growing disconnect between the American working class

and the political establishment.

The former turned to Trump in droves in response to feeling betrayed by the elites.

Now, amid bruising inflation and bitter debates over immigration and climate policies,

that divide seems even more pronounced.

For her new book, Bhatia Ungar Sargon traveled across the country to speak with working-class Americans

to learn what issues and concerns motivate them.

In this episode we sit down with Bhatia to discuss her book,

Second Class, how the elites betrayed America's working men and women.

I'm Daily Wire Editor-in-chief John Bickley.

It's Saturday, May 11th, and this is an extra edition of Morning Wire.

Joining us now to discuss her new book Second Class how the elites betrayed

America's working men and women is Batia Ungar Sargon opinion

editor at Newsweek and our guest host this week.

Badia, thank you so much for joining us.

Thank you so much for having me.

It's been great to work with you this week and we're really excited about your book here.

So you're the opinion editor of Newsweek before we dig into your new book.

Can you share a bit of your background for us?

Yeah, absolutely.
