In 'Hillbilly Elegy,' J.D. Vance recounts his life growing up in a dysfunctional family in Middletown, Ohio, with roots in Kentucky's Appalachia. The book details his experiences with poverty, addiction, and family violence, as well as his journey to joining the marines and eventually graduating from Yale Law School. Vance provides a personal and insightful look into the decline of the white working class in America, exploring themes of family, culture, and the loss of the American dream. The memoir also touches on the political swing of the region, particularly in relation to the 2016 presidential election and the appeal of Donald Trump to this demographic.
In Today's 100th episode of "Moment of Truth," Saurabh and Nick sit down with Senator J.D. Vance, to discuss his time in Washington D.C., the disastrous train derailment in East Palestine and corresponding reforms, the Biden Administration, U.S. Foreign Policy, and the current banking crisis.
