Left Abandons the Working Class, and the Working Class is Turning to Trump, with Batya Ungar-Sargon
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 тра 2024
- Megyn Kelly is joined by Batya Ungar-Sargon, author of "Second Class,” to discuss the Democrats abandoning the working class, polarization as an elitist phenomenon, how most Americans are more tolerant and united than elites on the right and left, why minority voters care about illegal immigration and are turning toward Trump, and more.

As a waiter, I learned real fast that the best tippers were working class people.
People with no constructive skills have the most contempt for the people they need the most.
I used to say the size of the tip was directly proportional to the cut of their clothes. Overalls and work boots.....great tips. Three piece suit.....you're lucky to get a quarter.
I am the working class and I approve this message.
I can only speak for myself, but I can say whole heartedly I have never met a democrat with any common sense.
Demhole elites are proud and arrogant but have no legitimate reason to be such.
I used to live in a community in northern Virginia, where people were highly educated, had high incomes and lived in million dollar houses. A gal was at the local store, and her car broke down. Nobody came to help her. If I had a set of jumper cables, I would’ve helped her. Retired to West Virginia. One day I was at a local store in my small country town and I saw a girl whose car broke down. She needed a jumpstart. At least six people pulled over within 15 minutes around her car all trying to help. She was on her way in 20 minutes. The people in West Virginia are all working class. The moral of the story is if you have trouble you better hope you’re in West Virginia and not amongst the highly educated, rich folks, who live in the big city. These working class hillbillies are some of the nicest people you’ll ever meet.
I'm inclined to think " the highly educated, rich folks" talk the talk.
But most don't walk the walk. Meaning they're not really capable of doing the grunt work.
LOL and in agreement. I am a "refugee" from Northern Va., relocated to Richmond in mid 90s. Much better place for my family.
As a middle class American, thank you for seeing us.
Absolutely Correct.
Just oozing with sanctimonious contempt for the "too male, too pale, too stale" people who are the nicest people you'll meet.
I am an older Republican. I am not a Trump fan, but as things stand I will vote for him loooooonnnnggg before I will vote for Biden (or Kamala or Gavin). My disagreements with Trump are not about his goals, but rather his means of accomplishing those goals and his character. My disagreements with Biden and the Democratic party are far more visceral. They actively tell me they hate me every single day. They hate my values of patriotism, faith, family, honor, decency, logic, reason, and freedom..... to name just a few. They have shown through the legal system (and with idiots like Judge Engoron and Ketanji Brown Jackson) that they will do ANYTHING to exert dominance over the country. How could I possibly want what the Democrats offer for the country I love?
Amen brother
Spot on!
Republicans need to realize that survival is more important than winning Miss Congeniality.
@@bradc6199 Republicans already believe that; you've seen the primary results, right?
It's *Independents* who need to realize it. I'm not at all certain they will.
i think TRUMP has a reslient personality, he never gives up. and he has to be tough or else the left will win. they are alerady aggressive in thier attacks and using the law againsta oppositipn, which is very communist style. i dont want a weak leader leading againsta very tough world.
I'm a retired working class American. I worked in construction and the biggest problem I had most of my adult life was competing against illegal migrants for bids on jobs! The DC elite of both parties kept passing the buck on illegal immigration, talking a lot, but never doing anything about it! So, when Donald Trump came along and made his whole campaign about securing our border, I was all for it! Even though it was too late to help me, it could help other legal Americans who were still having to compete against the illegals! The biggest problem with the DC elite is, they think they were elected to "rule over us," instead of serving us!
I've lived in California since the mid 1960s and saw the consequences of illegal immigration over the years. We were told that they only took jobs that no one else wanted to do. Just look at any California construction site today and you will see they are now doing jobs that other people wanted to do as well.
@@jimfesta8981Yeah,same here but in Texas. Now they get preferntial treatment because they are Freaking Bilingual!
Run for office! We need people like you that know the problem and would fight for US
And they wonder why bridges collapse.
Well said! Let's pray our elections are legitimate and we can get these evil people out of our government.
I’m working class and she absolutely nailed it.
I’m as elite as you can get. Aerospace engineer and university professor. But my dad owned apartment buildings and I learned a lot of the trades. I just designed and was the GC for my house. Did a lot of the work myself. So, I’ve always considered myself a tradesman. Trump gets the trades. He’s a GC. He’s a deeply flawed guy, but, he’s sincere in this area.
So ur pro gay lol
@@pavelstrelchuk216 Y M C A!
Two of my favorite ladies. Smart and not afraid of speaking truth.
Great information and opinion, while it all being easy on the eyes. Not sexist, it's a fact. I like my women SMART!!!
Blue collar needs to stop helping these cities function. All the men that work below the city streets, mechanical rooms, janitors, trash, electrical, auto mechanic etc…
How will they feed their families, when it is already difficult to do.
Don't forget the farmers and food processing facilities along with the truck drivers for distribution. Coastal elites starve without these services.
People leave the cities to go to the suburbs to get away from the madness of the city, and the never ending tax increases and fees, and all the things that involve supporting the super wealthy infrastructure, but they have become slowly unlivable, unless you are super wealthy…NOW THE SUBURBS ARE NOW SUBSIDIZING THE CITIES AND IT’S GETTING WORSE EVERY YEAR AND THE FAR LEFT IS GETTING MORE LEFT TO THE POINT WHERE THEY’RE JUST MARXIST AND THEY’RE COMING OUT TO THE SUBURBS TO TAKE EVERYTHING WE HAVE…
so then they will hire the illegals
We must stay UNITED . We will rise above it ALL . Much love to all of our hard working patriots
Working class here. Everything your guest said is spot on! 🙌🏼
They abandoned us a long time ago Megyn. They went where the big money is.
Batya is the best. Compassionate & principled. Thanks for having her on.
Shocked Newsweek has not fired her for being so honest and decent.
Agreed, Batya is the best.
Spot on Ladies⭐️🇺🇸⭐️thank u much
Numerous caretakers (who change the elderly's diapers) are abusing them beyond belief! Some have even died from their evilness.That's what we all have to look forward to in our silver years. I do not condone their abuse or behavior nor do I support them one iota!
I'm not asking why they're turning to Trump. Just asking what took them so long? Duh! Maybe we wouldn't have had to go through this four-year catastrophe. I guess better late than never.
They are outnumbered by cities
Strong men lead to good times, good times lead to weak men, weak men lead to bad times, bad times lead to strong men. We are in the weak men lead to bad times period of the chart. We had fifty or sixty years under the good times lead to weak men part. Who knows how long it will take to get to the bad times lead to strong men part.
I'm a blue collar dude from a long line of working class men ( and women ). I'm for Tucker, Vivek, and Trump. That's it.
yikes thats scary. thats like only eating snickers, pizza and popcorn.
@@mst3kpimp I wouldn't know.
The "Three Stooges" were always good for a laugh
@@dinoamf5866 Best get yourself ready to "Laugh" for 4 years
Trump and blue collar don’t mix. He’s a con man and has stiffed labor contractors for years… A
always settles out of court. Meanwhile most democrats support higher wages for the working class. Not sure why people still vote against their best interest. Only people that it makes sense to vote trump are the top couple percent
I am SO GLAD that you are talking about CLASS issues!!!
I laugh every time Biden, Dr. Jill, or KJP mention “kitchen table issues” or “looking out for working Americans by moving forward”.
Wow, very well spoken on this subject by Batya Ungar-Sargon. She gets it!
Folks pray for America!!
The highest of their priests on this is Bill Maher. He's shown distain for the working class for decades.
Bill is a "Deplorable" He just doesn't know it.
I remember he claimed rural Americans were just "envious", what would we be envious of? We live in gorgeous areas full of natural beauty in rural America, no crime hardly, surrounded by wonderful trustworthy kind people, our local schools far surpass theirs, we have easy access to healthy wonderful food, easy access to incredible recreation etc. I just moved back to rural America from a urban cesspool.
He doesn't care he's a multi-millionair
@@deanfirnatine7814 : I lived in rural America (Pacific Northwest) for 15 years. I am now in a "semi rural" area, although it resembles rural America much more than it does "big city" life (far away from the Pac NW, but similar in many ways). I get local produce, local fish, the people in more than a couple of stores know me (by sight), we've never locked our doors and we are in the middle of a bird sanctuary (which I LOVE). I've never been subjected to racism outside of the big cities when I (unfortunately) had to live there (NYC). People have gone out of their way to help me. I liked your description of rural America. I'm dark skinned, by the way, and rural Americans treated me with kindness and friendliness.
I see your Bill Maher and raise you anyone currently employed at MSNBC.
🇺🇲. Thank you for seeing us .
Health care is expensive BECAUSE of government interference in the market. Turning it over to the government is a surefire way to make it worse.
The same people who are first to point out the military-industrial complex tend to also be the ones who want the most government involvement in health care. What do they think the relationship between government and pharmateucial companies is going to evolve into once the government is put in charge of health care?
yes look at canada where they are encouraging MAiD [assisted suicide] even to young people with adhd autism etc drs offer it to pts as an option not just old dying in pain or ca pts because the system is in trouble
Love Batya. Brilliant woman. But much more, she is one of the most compassionate, thoughtful, kind people I've e ever listened to. Such compassion and empathy is what we need right now and Batya is that and more. Megyn and Batya? Gold, solid gold. I adore Batya! She is so smart and helpful. Adore you too Megyn. I never thought of you two together. That's why you get the big bucks Megyn, lol. You are brilliant Megyn! This is a dream date of headline commentary. Leave it to Magyn. Brilliant woman with great instincts.
She was spot on!!!
Hey Megyn this lady is so spot on!
Except she does not realize people on the left are the ones wearing Carhartt. Wearing Carhartt has literally became a trend with liberal goofs.
The first time I saw her on Bill Maher, I found she was a very effective and articulate communicator. She is the kind of speaker Trump needs!
Good talk Megyn and Batya. The working class people are the majority of the tax payers in this country. The elites have forgotten who it is that makes their paychecks. We the people have to let then know that by going to the poles and voting them out of their office.
The problem with that is that many of them are in positions in the government that you can not vote them out of. You don't vote people out of the IRS. You don't vote people out of the CIA. You don't vote people out of all of those government regulatory agencies and bureaus. Once they become a federal unionized employee they are harder to get rid of than bedbugs. (Which they are similar to in other ways as well.) All of those agencies and bureaus are aligned with each other and will strike back en masse against anyone that tries. You try to take jobs away from these people you will face the wrath of the IRS, the intelligence agencies, the DOJ, the EPA, the NRLB, the FTC, and every other acroynm in Washington or northern Virginia you can think of.
The problem isn't in electing different politicians. The problem is the inability to shrink and reduce government size and power and the unwillingness to cross the bureaucracies that is necessary to do so. Everyone has their own skeletons in Washington D.C. Everyone else in that town knows those skeletons and no one wants those skeletons exposed and if someone somehow has made a career there without acquiring those skeletons they do not want to be Seth Riched or Boeing whistleblowered while going up against this system.
This woman is quite good. Very bright and makes excellent points, and is not always doctrinaire.
As part of the working class, I am tired of paying more in the grocery store for food and basic needs. During the warmer months we have a large garden for fresh foods and preserve for the rest of the year, that helps save $$. Things aren’t easy. Each time Washington talks about a new $5 trillion dollar aid - I see our taxes and gas going up again. Instead of higher taxes, balance the budget like households have to. Cut out unnecessary spending.
And our taxes are going to defend Ukraine's borders but that senile old clown's controllers want to destroy their own country. Never before in history has a nation committed suicide
And they’re trying to outlaw gardens in some states. They don’t want you to provide for yourself.
Then be careful who you vote for….
Telling someone in Washington to stop spending money is like telling a Kardashian to stop attention whoring.
My Father is now 78, he was born hard of hearing and went to a hearing school as a child which was 2 hours away from home. He stayed with a family during the week. He told a story of a day in school where the teacher asked the kids what they wanted to be when they grow up. Many said teacher or doctor or business owner of some sort. My dad who was a farmers son said he wanted to be a farmer and a kid turned to him and said " so you want to be a dummy". That is when it began the tearing down of others build yourself up.
Quote from Joe Scarborough. “We have to allow open borders. How else will I find people to clean my house?” - a tinge racist?
They needs some peeples to pick them crops too!
I'm just wondering who these 12 million people are that need their house cleaned but don't already have a maid service
Howcwill "those" people live without the working class to provide the needs of America??
Everything they need magically appears at their door every day.
They'll just import more migrants.
or when the power grid goes out and no more smart phone availability. Stripped naked and clueless. And it's coming! See you in Baltimore Love!
Wow, every word this lady speaks is spot on perfect and true!
Not trying to be funny. I am a white, male, heterosexual, Christian, gun owning, conservative that has never broke any laws, discriminated against anyone's race or religion and paid taxes my entire life. I now find myself as a media and Democrat described white supremacist that should be dealt with by the government. I already know I'm on the FBI watchlist because of my donations to my church through the IRS's tracking. Oh, to make things worse I refused the flu shot but you already figured that one out probably.
I'm a white dude that likes women I've never had. I lost all my guns in a boating accident here a while back. There's a whole lot of people I discriminate against of all races and religions, including my own. I have a good accountant. I smoke with cigarettes, drank whiskey, and puff puff pass. If the the g men are watching me then they must be some bored individuals. I don't care what the media or Democrats say about me, if it wasn't entertaining it would be just as easy to turn it off. The jab lol, about a year ago is stitched my own elbow up, when I was a kid I pulled my own teeth.
A highly intelligent gentleman who needs no pricey profit oriented private health insurance because he prays and gives to the church. If he gave up his guns and prayed more he could give even more money to the church.
I don't know about you but I'm more worried about global warming than putting food on the table, said absolutely no one with common sense.
Or without either stock or a board position in an alternative energy company.
It is very hard to fix healthcare or offer something to citizens when we are letting millions in. Even Bernie knew this and said it before they got to him.
The Demhole version of health care will be dismal.
Wait. Much of The Middle Class IS The Working Class these days. People in the trades are making the same as managers and lawyers now, because there's so much demand. People need to encourage their kids to choose a trade instead of wasting money on useless degrees that also waste time that can be used establishing themself. And PS: Degrees don't equal intelligence (or Common Sense).
So true! I worked as a tradesman all my life and always recommended that young people go to a trade school or apprentice as a tradesperson, instead of going to college. I never even finished high school (got a GED in the Marine Corps) but that didn't stop me from starting and running 3 successful businesses during my lifetime! I started my apprenticeship at age 11 under a framing contractor and the work ethic I learned from him stuck with me the rest of my life!
“Deplorables” one word philosophy is the Democratic party
Trump's greatest accomplishment is still keeping Hillary out of the Oval Office
It is the updated version of "revolting peasants".
The DNC should wear white powdered wigs.
The problem the working class sees with healthcare is that their costs have skyrocketed because of obamacare to pay for people who don't work.
People who work hard for a living don't want handouts they want to be left alone.
You are right on the money. I have a friend who is full time disabled. Her medical expenses are paid in full. She pays nothing. I work & I’m lucky to have insurance. I pay $400 a month & it’s 80% them 20% me. I still pay a fortune out of pocket. Unfortunately I have a lot of medical issues. I sure wish I didn’t have to work & my healthcare was free.
@@lorimoffat2444 I would argue disabled is a different thing all together. If you are disabled and can't work I actually think everybody is on board helping that person out. Now if that person is abusing the system then theres an issue. I mean healthy people who live off the government and refuse to work.
Its a pretty big slap in the face to go into work everyday work hard and try to do right by your family only to have the government come in and overtax you amd overcharge for healthcare because a rather large percentage of the population refuses to work.
Grew up with nothing but poor and working class folks they don't want a handout. They just wish people would quit reaching into their pockets and turning around and giving it to someone else.
@@jakehutchison5761
Citizens should get first chance at services, benefits & welfare. Not illegal economic migrants. Welfare to illegals is ‘sugar on the table’ to attract more. Jobs should only go to valid citizens & legal immigrants. Expel illegals who cannot prove asylum status or who cannot support themselves if not actually valid applicants. No amnesty for illegals so less pull for more illegal invaders.
DACA dreamers should go to parents’ home country to apply for visa to USA as legal permanent residents, then same rules as for other foreign legal immigrants. Show that legal US citizenship is more important to the USA than the wishes of alien individuals. Any with criminal records will be assessed just like other foreigners applying to enter USA. Otherwise, remain as undocumented or leave for good.
What irks me the most about the healthcare issue is with all the money we send overseas, none of us would have to fear losing everything we own over a medical emergency. We COULD do it, but we WON'T.
@@MrsRitchieBlackmore What concerns me more is American companies charge foregin nations much less for their drugs than they do in Americans. I actually think they could pass a pretty easy law to fix that and drive down costs substantially.
Megyn Kelly described the Liberal elites a lot, like how the elites we see in the movie "Hunger Games." The irony in that movie is the fact that nearly all of elites wore colorful hairstyles much the same way as the modern Liberals do. The only difference in that movie and reality is that most of the colored hair Liberals are mostly middle class while the rich snoody Liberals are the elites. All that the Hunger Games did was combine the two. Another ironic part of this whole thing is that the Hunger Games depicted the downfall of Socialism which the government of the Hunger Games were, they were Socialistic. The entire practice of the government in the Hunger Games was 100% Socialistic. Here's another ironic thing to think about. Most of the actors, such as Jennifer Lawrence, played in this movie depicting Liberals in a negative light and depicting Socialism in a negative light, but yet these very same Hollywood elites do exactly what the villains of that movie do. They snub their noses up at the working class as if they were deplorables. They also support Socialism which is a mirror image of the totalitarianism displayed by the government in the Hunger Games.
There is a distinct parallel of the rich elites in the Hunger Games and modern day Liberals.
Love this interview. Thanks ladies. ❤

The great replacement is real. It's happening right now in front of us. Call it a different name if that's what you need to do, but the replacement is underway.
Thank you I love your Channel keep telling the truth God Bless America God bless Donald Trump
She got it right
Take this smart lady and have her tell every single Republican running for office. She is 100% correct. Never heard anyone lay things out so eloquently and on point.
It's the aristocrats vs. the serfs all over again.
At least they are no longer pandering to the working class, they are just bluntly tell you they don’t like you and they are going to insult you until you vote for them….great strategy

Love you and your

I just signed up for your newsletter. Been watch you since you 1st appeared on YouBoob. Keep up your great work!
Great guest and great topic!
So beautifully stated.
Get government OUT of the medical business. Bring competition into it and costs will drop.
Very nice lady.🥰✨✨✨👍💪
Found the book I’m getting this week! ❤
Fantastic explanation. Perfectly on target.
Love Megyn Kelly, don't ever change.
I am really happy that you have on this awesome Israeli guest! The Jewish community doesn't get enough coverage to voice the most important issues affecting the Jewish community and beyond. We need more Jewish guests in media. Talk about being underrepresented! Sheesh.
I am impressed by Ms. Ungar-Sargon's sincerity. It's not just what she says, but she also smiles frequently and spontaneously (something fanatics cannot do). I'm not working class; however, due to the nature of the economy and some conscious choices, my kids all started in blue collar fields. My oldest is still proudly a truck driver. Unlike me they get to bypass the ideological immaturity that wasted my time in college. Thanks @ Megyn Kelly for a good show.
I worked a decade at a food bank in CO. Now I'm in state govt processing disability claims. Healthcare is the biggest issue I hear and have heard about since the food bank. Insurance is a mess unless you have good insurance. It sucks for Americans to have a potential life changing financial meltdown from a health issue.
As a Democrat, I found this segment very thought-provoking. Thanks.
I love your podcasts!❤
As a very frequent flyer I often found myself in First Class. One day during boarding a little girl said to her mom, "I want to sit here." Mom responded that we are not in First Class. The little girl asked where they were supposed to sit. Mom responded, "This is First Class, we are in LAST CLASS."
I miss Batya appearing on The Hill. Anyone know why she stopped being a guest there?
To replace her w Bri who I don’t like. I seldom watch it. I think they had Shellenburger on & he could hardly get a word in. She prefaces every question with a 20 min monologue!
yeah except that her politics are different than Bri so they shouldn't replace each other. She was coming on as a frequent guest or host or guest host (it's all a blur now), and then it stopped. Just not sure why.@@kerrylewisRN
She got promoted at Newsweek and the time constraints from her new position didn't allow her the ability to continue on The Hill.
