. -- became briefly for a nine-month period, where it overlapped with ezra. this early vision, with people who lived and worked in this room including with emerson who sat at a chair like this one. the original of the emerson chair is over at the concorde museum and wonderful collaboration last year, the reservation and north bennet street school came together to reproduce the emerson chair that visitors could sit in the chair where emerson looked at -- emerson wrote nature and looked at themselves over the landscape. one thing people always notice if they have seen the original and they look at this one that is reproduced, this one is green and the original chair is black. in fact the green chair, when -- green chair is what it would have been when emerson first sat in it at mary windsor's writing desk, in this period, but later victorians loved to keep things black so the chair has changed . so what people notice is when they stood in it, it envelopes you. you feel very held when you are writing there. comewonderful wood piece of this writing surface is act

ezra ripley, the tall gentleman, the generating surface a little higher, a markup of ways to create -- an important place for visitors to come and look over the landscape, where the american revolution started for the second revolution, literature and american writing, that happened over the same hue when he wrote nature. the book nature is the work emerson wrote, many look to for american transcendentalism. transcendentalism at that time was a growing idea of looking inward to the person. a philosophical and religious thought that was grounded in social and political thought as well, an individual could look at themselves, look at nature, looked up at for inspiration, spiritual response. believed in the quality of the individual and looking at everyone equally. the idea of abolitionism, trying to fight for the rights of all and a woman's rights and education were really important. social parts of transcendentalism. that is different from the other writing at the time, looking at romanticism, and some other philosophical thoughts, very in word, social and political twist to it too. ma

so ezra had a lasting impression on the house. many of the books in the 3000 volume library that we have are from him inscribed, and the ripley name continues over the generations here. so you can really see the influence that he had as a minister and town leader as well. ralph waldo emerson was born in 1803 in boston, massachusetts. he was a local boy, of many sorts. he spent his life in the city but for every time he also also came over to the old manse when he was younger when his round 12 and continue to visit the property throughout his life. and again when he wrote "nature" in 1834, when he at his mother came for a visit the reverend as ripley was here. he was becoming elderly and so the health care for them for a brief period of time. so for emerson even though he was born a city boy, he certainly was moving in this area, and concord was a home for him. so in 1834 he comes to the old manse and puts himself in the upstairs study, which at the time was also a bedroom that he could stay in and that is where he wrote "nature,"

own party to support a bill because it is such a catastrophic disaster for people's health care. >> ezrau mobilized a tremendous amount of the opposition to this bill out there at town halls and elsewhere around the country. what's your reaction to the president's new strategy? he's no longer content with passing a bill that would take health care away from 23 million people. he now wants to take it away from everyone who has benefited in any way under the affordable care act, including taking the health insurance away from kids who are under age 26 who are on their parents' policies? >> right. no, you know, i got to say when it comes to health care legislation, the president's maliciousness is only outdone by his incompetence. and that's great for us. we're happy for him to keep on failing and keep on failing to demonstrate leadership on this. it means the people win. there's a reason why support for his health care bill is so low, and it's because people know it's going to harm them. people know it's going to damage their health or cause them to go bankrupt, and that's why you saw folk

joining us tonight is ezra levin. he's a co-founder of the group indivisible, helping folks to organize all across the country. they've taken point in as best they can when it comes to the health care bill. mr. levin thank you for joining us on short notice tonight. i appreciate you taking the call. >> thanks for calling me. >> you've heard my take on why this is big news tonight and where i think this comes from. as somebody who has been, really, involved as these indivisible groups across the country have mobilized so aggressively on this, are you seeing this tonight as a victory? are you cautious in viewing what's happening here? do you think you've won? >> so this is absolutely a win. i think the way you framed it was absolutely right. that change is coming to washington. it is not starting in washington. we are, as of thursday, six months into the trump presidency. there's a unified conservative republican government, the likes of which we have not seen in over a decade. and yet they have yet to pass a single sig

ezra group up outside washington.at is -- it appears that actually the relationship might date back to, you know, more recently than people seem to think. >> and to be quite blunt about it, did you speak with anyone in the intelligence community that's concerned about his relationship with michael flynn and that it could be on-going, given what michael flynn has been up to in terms of contacts with russians, with russian officials. >> i see what you're asking. in terms of the people i spoke with who are intelligence people for this story, i wouldn't say that specific concern was necessarily raise. i think the concern that some people raised was that they were worried about someone who seemed to be a sort of more partisan and political choice chosen for his loyalty to one person in this very important job. >> and i guess that's the point. if his loyalty was specifically to michael flynn, then who is it that's protecting him in his job now, were you able to determine that? >> like i said, jared kushner and steve bannon

i love seeing that. >> ezra levin, thanks for talking to us tonight. it's a big busy night with the breaking news. >> tomorrow is a big busy day, a national day of action. keep this pressure on and we'll kill this bill. >> magain the republican effort to repeal obamacare appears to have fallen apart. as you heard ezra levin say, a cofounder of a group nationwide organizing efforts that's really been trying to stop the republican effort to repeal obamacare. you heard him say this is not over. kraushsly optimistic. but four republican senators saying they'll vote no is enough to kill it. i for one was not expecting this development tonight. we'll talk the one of the democratic senators on the democrat side of the bill to get his perspective on how final this victory is. senator chris murphy from connecticut is going to join us live next. stay with us. boost. it's about moving forward, not back. it's looking up, not down. it's being in motion. in body, in spirit, in the now. boost® high protein it's intelligent nutrition with 15 grams of protein and 26 vi
