Earlier this week on Honestly, Batya Ungar-Sargon, Brianna Wu, and Christopher Caldwell shared their views on President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance's showdown with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky, and on the Russia-Ukraine war more generally. Simply put, Batya and Chris made the case that Russia is not an American adversary in the way China is and that Trump's seeming sympathy toward Russian president Vladimir Putin is actually a strategic play to pull Russia away from China and into our orbit. The conversation is provocative. It provoked many of us here at The Free Press. Not all of our listeners agreed with what they heard either. For some, it was frustrating or even angering to hear this perspective. Yes, contrary to popular belief, we do read the comments. And there's been a tremendous amount of debate inside our newsroom about America's new posture regarding Russia and Ukraine, just as there is on all of the most important topics of the day. We think that's our strength. We believe in listening to arguments, in good faith, from people we respect. And if our panel show earlier in the week was dominated by a perspective sympathetic to Trump, today we want to offer a very different perspective from Eli Lake, Free Press reporter and the host of our new podcast, Breaking History. In this episode, Eli explores how a different Republican president—Ronald Reagan—spoke out against Russian aggression. And how his words inspired dissidents from across the Soviet bloc, like the Czech playwright Václav Havel, to lead their own countries to freedom. This is a show that looks to the past to illuminate the present, and we think this episode is especially important right now. So today, Eli Lake on Breaking History.

Batya is an opinion editor for Newsweek and she joined Mark to give her thoughts on the attempted assassination of Donald Trump and antisemitism online.
Ils sont quelques centaines de civils russes à combattre parmi des milliers d'Ukrainiens sur la ligne de front, parfois depuis des années, parfois depuis quelques mois, ayant décidé de se battre auprès des Ukrainiens contre Moscou. Au sein du bataillon sibérien (Sibir), crée en 2023, on retrouve des anti-impérialistes de tous horizons, des Russes slaves et issus des groupes ethniques de l'est du pays. Peu soutenus, voire ignorés par l'opposition russe en Occident, ils sont pourtant les seuls à se ranger clairement du côté de Kyiv dans ce qui est pour eux une guerre contre tout un système d'oppression dont ils sont issus et qu'ils entendent combattre. De notre correspondante en Ukraine,Certains reviennent de Belgorod, où ils ont participé aux premières incursions en territoire russe au mois de mars dernier, d'autres de la péninsule de Kinburn dans le sud de l'Ukraine, où avec d'autres soldats, ils ont participé à des offensives cet été… Mais ces soldats, qui se battent du côté ukrainien, ont la particularité d'être des citoyens de la Fédération de Russie, contre laquelle ils guerroient. Ils font partie du bataillon sibérien (Sibir) et bien que leurs horizons soient divers, ils partagent la conviction qu'il leur fallait prendre les armes contre leur propre pays.« Nous ne sommes encore que quelques-uns, mais nous avons fait notre choix, clame haut et fort Walther, une cinquantaine d'années, qui a rejoint le bataillon à l'automne 2023. Le bataillon sibérien et d'autres unités militaires composées de citoyens de la Fédération de Russie ont choisi leurs armes. Et j'exhorte tous ceux qui détestent le régime de Poutine à apporter leur aide et à y participer. »Blessé lors de la bataille d'Avdiivka, Walther déplore la trop grande complaisance de l'occident envers Moscou dès l'invasion de la Géorgie : « Si, en 2008, tous les politiques européens avaient agi de manière uni et avaient introduit au moins un dixième des sanctions contre la Russie introduites après le 24 février, je pense que ni 2014 ni 2022 n'auraient eu lieu. Le rat aurait été arrêté au tout début de son voyage. Malheureusement, l'histoire de la Seconde Guerre mondiale hitlérienne s'est répétée », se désole-t-il.Maloy, une vingtaine d'années, fait partie des jeunes recrues du bataillon. Il est originaire de la République de Bachkirie et a déjà participé à plusieurs opérations, dont les incursions de Belgorod aux côtés de deux autres formations de soldats russes en Ukraine. C'était en mars dernier, bien avant l'opération de Kursk. « L'opération s'est avérée beaucoup plus compliquée que prévu initialement, mais elle a réussi : car les pertes russes ont été assez importantes : la brigade adverse qui se trouvait dans notre direction a perdu environ la moitié de ses officiers. »Ce soutien de quelques Russes à la défense ukrainienne est loin d'être anodin : pour bien des recrues du bataillon sibérien, il appuie leurs propres aspirations d'indépendance, celles des minorités de la Fédération de Russie, comme les Bachkirs, mais les Bouriates ou encore les Yakoutes.« Le seul pays qui peut nous aider à libérer notre république est l'Ukraine »Aux côtés de Walther et Maloy, on retrouve Kypchak, lui aussi Bashkir. Âgé d'une quarantaine d'années, il a quitté la Russie et sa profession libérale au moment de l'invasion à grande échelle – pour lui, soutenir le combat des Ukrainiens signifie aussi appuyer la libération de son propre peuple. « L'une de mes motivations pour venir ici et aider l'Ukraine à résister à l'agression russe est précisément la compréhension que nous ne pouvons combattre le régime qu'en soutenant d'autres peuples, affirme-t-il. Autrement dit, l'exemple de la Tchétchénie montre qu'une seule république n'est pas capable de combattre Moscou. Aujourd'hui, la situation est telle que, peut-être, le seul pays qui peut nous aider à libérer notre république est l'Ukraine. Finalement, notre objectif est assez égoïste : en aidant l'Ukraine, nous espérons qu'à l'avenir, avec le soutien de pays pour ainsi dire civilisés, nous pourrons libérer nos républiques. »Tous les mois, de nouvelles recrues arrivent en Ukraine – une vingtaine environ – après un long processus de recrutement, les Russes jugés aptes et dignes de confiance embarquent pour une formation aux techniques de combat. « On voit les jeunes communiquer avec leurs frères d'armes plus âgés, ceux-ci leur disent ce qu'est la guerre, que c'est moche, que ça fait peur, que la mort fait peur, confie Batya, un vétéran ukrainien parmi leurs formateurs. Mais leur motivation ne baisse pas, ils veulent se battre, s'entraîner de manière tout à fait consciente, se préparer. La génération précédente leur dit à quoi faire attention, et nous, nous leur donnons des compétences tactiques ».Chaque mois, le bataillon sibérien s'étoffe – pour Walther c'est aussi une question d'honneur pour ceux des Russes qui se disent opposés au régime du Kremlin : « Il existe une expression : "le collier d'un esclave est toujours plus léger que l'armure d'un guerrier". Mais même si je meurs, je saurai que je n'ai pas vécu cette vie en vain. Je mourrai pour une juste cause. Vous avez une chance de devenir humain et de vous regarder dans le miroir sans honte. Pensez à la façon dont vos enfants grandiront et à ce qu'ils vous diront : Papa, maman, où étiez-vous à ce moment ? »À écouter aussiOffensive ukrainienne en Russie : quel objectif stratégique ?

Batya Ungar-Sargon, author of "Bad News: How Woke Media is Undermining Democracy," joins us to discuss how the liberal class has evolved from the party of the working man to the party of the elites. - - - Today's Sponsor: 3 Day Blinds - For their buy one, get one 50% off deal, head to https://3dayblinds.com/KLAVAN
The spirit of the working class is crushed. So argues Batya Ungar-Sargon in her new book 'Second Class: How the Elites Betrayed America's Working Men and Women'. Batya says that working men and women in the United States have been abandoned by both political parties and left to fend for themselves all while unchecked immigration makes an already challenging job market untenable. As her title suggests, she believes “elites” are causing this problem. And though you hear the word used more often and somewhat scornfully on Fox News, “elites” doesn't just progressives. It's alll of us who are educated, have stable jobs, and aren't worried aobut making rent next month. But just because Batya uses the word doesn't mean her main argument—that unchecked immigration is making life untenable for working Americans—is wrong. At the very least, it is inarguable that immigration is putting a strain on our housing, educational and medical infrastructure. And all of us foot the bill for that. What's really odd about this to me is, despite the fact that Batya defends Donald Trump as a friend of the working people, that the policies she recommends to fix the problem feel like Democratic policies from an earlier time. Unions, tarriffs - that sort of thing. Whichever side they're from, she is passionate about the importance of a thriving middle class for a stable democracy. Batya is The Opinion Editor at Newsweek. She holds a BA from the University of Chicago and earned her PhD at UC, Berkeley. Her writing has appeared in The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Foreign Policy, the New York Times, The Daily Beast, and The Free Press. Buy 'Second Class' here.

On Election Night 2016, many of us thought we knew who would be the next president of the United States. We were blindsided when Hillary Clinton lost to Donald Trump. Legacy media quickly scrambled to explain what had happened. They ultimately arrived at an explanation: Trump's voters were racist, xenophobic conspiracy theorists, and possibly even proto-fascists. That wasn't quite right. My guest today, Newsweek opinion editor Batya Ungar-Sargon, has been on a journey for the past eight years to understand how Trump won the White House in 2016 and how the left fundamentally misunderstood the American working class. She eventually came to the conclusion that the most salient feature of American life is not our political divide. It's “the class divide that separates the college-educated from the working class.” Democrats have historically been the party of the working class. But for the better part of the past decade, Democrats have seen their support among working-class voters tumble. Policy wonks and demographic experts kept saying just wait: the future of the Democratic party is a multiethnic, multiracial, working-class coalition. But that didn't pan out. Instead, in 2016, Trump carried 54 percent of voters with family incomes of $30,000 to $50,000; 44 percent of voters with family incomes under $50,000; and nearly 40 percent of union workers voted for Trump—the highest for a Republican presidential candidate since Ronald Reagan in 1984. Meanwhile, in 2022, Democrats had a 15-point deficit among working-class voters but a 14-point advantage among college-educated voters. In order to understand how and why this happened, Batya decided to spend the last year traveling the country talking to working-class Americans. Who are they? Do they still have a fair shot at the American dream? What do they think about their chances to secure the hallmarks of a middle-class life? She collected these stories in her new book: Second Class: How the Elites Betrayed America's Working Men and Women. What she found is that for many of them, the American dream felt dead. Today, Batya discusses who really represents the working class; why she thinks America has broken its contract with the working class; how we reinstate our commitment to them; and what will happen in 2024 if we don't.

Then Batya Ungar-Sargon, author of the new book "Second Class," joins to discuss how the left turned against 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, the working class identity in 2024, how Trump can unite various factions much more than Biden can, the corporate media's hypocrisy on democracy and Trump, their disdain for Americans actually getting to choose their next president fairly, woke young activists on college campuses, and more.
