About this episode
Chris Arnade, Wall Street bond trader turned backpacker, shares his stories of traveling the world and his philosophical findings along the way with James Poulos on this episode of "Zero Hour." Chris and James dive into the modern issues in America and how there is a growing culture war between the elites and the rest of the country. They discuss how as the golden age of the U.S. has faded away, people like Hunter S. Thompson are few and far between and how Trump can take the country back to its glory days. Chris emphasizes the issues of overeducation in U.S. schools and how it is leading to a rapid decline in mental health among Generation Z.
