let's see if we can get ezra back. okay, ezra's coming back. and then he's gone again. all right. so let's do this. can you hear me, ezra? >> i can hear you just fine. >> good. don't do that, i'm too old for that. look at my face, it's already flushed. it's just hypertension. >> the conversation is too hot. >> you and i have known each other for a long time, i have a lot of respect for you on this. i don't agree that democrats would have left obama over him talking more about race. but that's neither here nor there, that's in the past. it's more about the state of play. and the point you just made, what does it mean that nothing hurt obama with white voters as much as his saying something that seemed obvious in that incident about policing? because the skip gates thing was not a close call. it was obviously bad policing. what does it mean to you? >> it means that this country is on the one level, has a lot of racism in it. on the other hand, is incredibly defensive about that fact. when you still have not just, by the way, not just a white majority in the electorate, but then you

joining me now, host of the ezra klein show podcast, ezra klein who interviewed president barack obama and i want to follow up on that question. it's a little ambiguous in the interview about whether he's saying you basically have to just deal with the fact this is the reality and understand you have to figure out how to persuade and mobilize a huge supermajority to get things done or whether he's saying that the filibuster has rendered the country ungovernable. it was a little ambiguous between the two. >> obama deals in paradoxes throughout the entire book and a big part of that interview. his willingness to say something is true ands opposite is true. obama as evolved tremendously on the filibuster. i remember having this argument during his presidency and he was not ready to give up on it then. but since then going to the to the eulogy of the john lewis memorial, if it is getting in the way of democracy, it is time for it to go. but democrats cannot get rid of it if joe manchin and kyrsten sinema won't let them. there is a lot of advice that obama gives democrats in our conversatio

"the ezra klein show." thank you very much for joining us. we are at that stage of the one-vote margin situation in the senate, which we don't really see that often. i mean i remember my time in the senate there was exactly one time where we passed something big and it was a 50/50 tie vote, the vice president casting the winning vote for the democrats. oh, by the way, we had 57 democrats at the time, and there were seven joe manchins who we couldn't get. here we are again. joe manchin says no, but now chuck schumer says maybe we can change a few lines here. you have watched a lot of these over the years, ezra. where are we? what is happening? >> so there are two margins here. there's a one-vote margin and an 11-vote margin. there's the one-vote margin to get to a majority vote on budget reconciliation package, on infrastructure, on the for the people act, but there's the 11-vote margin to beat a fill biser on them. not if you go through budget reconciliation, but you need those votes to do it. the thing hap

in "the new york times," ezra klein said we need a moon shot for meatless meat.. good to be here. >> so tell us about your journey, because you used to be a delighted and voracious meat eater. you post pictures of hamburgers on your instagram. what happened? >> you know, i had known that the way we treat animals on factory farms wasn't something that i morally could support and i could just push it out of the my mind and that is what i did for many years. but i love meat. i just put that on the instagram. i chased after fancy restaurants and then in my 20s, i began going for vegetarian and i went back and forth and then for a long time i was vegan and would you let myself have three burgers a month because i love burgers and not because it is interest, and this is part of what i think should happen, people like meat, i'm not here to tell anybody it is not delicious. but what it is doing to the planet, what it is going to the animals and our pandemic and antibiotic risk is something that should worry all of us. >> so let's talk about this. something in the range o

ezra klein tells us all we ought to think twice before eating meat for ourselves and for the sake of the planet and he has a solution. >>> but first, here is my take. in 2017, a former goldman sachs banker launched a dating app call the hater designed to match people according to shared dislikes. it didn't last long. that doesn't bode well for the coalition set to form a new israeli government since it seems unified by little more than a shared hatred for bibi netanyahu. it is surely the strangest coalition in modern political history comprising parties to the right of netanyahu, the center and the left and to the first time one representing israeli arabs. could such a motley crew stay together? actually it is possible. in fact, the parties have been brought together for more than just a personal dislike of bibi. remember, netanyahu is under indictment for three cases of corruption, prosecuted by his own handpicked attorney general. elements of the right in israel that had long been allied with bibi broke with him because they wore worried where he was taking democracy. but that does

joining me now to discuss, ezra levin, coexecutive director of indivisible.e director of next jen america. we have the doj lawsuit challenging georgia's new elections laws. how does this change the contours of your organizing? >> it doesn't at all. this was contemplated as a part of our overall plan to win. so it's always been about a litigation strategy, communications, making sure we're talking directly to americans about what's at stake and how to get involved. it has been technology and culture that we leverage, recruiting artists and entertainers and influencers. this is an all-hands-on-deck effort, and so we welcome the attorney general and the doj to the fight. but yes, it was contemplated as a part of a let's throw everything at the wall and see what sticks, and our effort to defend our democracy. >> i don't want to throw any cold water on that enthusiasm, but my sense -- and i want to hear from you -- is that this is an uphill battle. >> for sure. i mean, we're talking about -- this week we celebrated or acknowledge or commemorated the eighth anniver

[laughs] >> joining us now is ezra klein, opinion columnist for the new york times.e he holds the podcast the as recline. show as rare, thank you very much for joining us. we're at that stage of the one vote margin situation in the senate, which we don't really see that often. i mean, i remember my time in the senate, there was exactly one time where we passed something big. it was a 50 50 tie evil, vice president casting the tie breaking vote. oh by the way, we have 57 democrats at the time. there were seven joe manchin's we couldn't get. here we are again. joe manchin says no. but now, chuck schumer says maybe we can change a few lines here. you've watched a lot of these over the years, ezra. where are we? what's happening? >> so there are two things here. there is a one vote margin and a big -- there's a one more vote margin to get to a majority vote on a bunch of reconciliation package on infrastructure. but there is the 11 vote margin to get the filibuster on them. you need those two votes to do. the thing that is happening here with the "for the people act" tha

this is what the former president, another former president barack obama said on the ezra klein show.isten to this. >> i could go to the fish fry or the vfw hall or all these other venues and just talk to people. if i went into those same places now or if any democrat who is campaigning goes in those places now, almost all news is from either fox news, sinclair news stations, talk radio or some facebook page, and trying to penetrate that is really difficult. >> you know he's talking about the propaganda on these networks that call themselves news networks. there's been a slant for years now but the lies are really getting worse, dan. do you think anything can break that cycle? >> you know, look, i think that there's going to be a certain percentage of the population that is simply going to believe anything that donald trump says. remember, when richard nixon resigned, he still had 25% support. you know, there's going to be percentages of people who are simply going to say what he says goes. i believe him and not anything else that i hear. but i don't think that people should just give

. >> so, ezra, this is what occurs to me about this. i loved your tweet. done. you had president obama and he would have debates over the aca with the whole republican caucus. bill clinton gave tons of speeches and bush did things for tax cuts. what is joe biden doing? and that's the thing. i am concerned when i hear the president say i'll get back to you in a week. i'll concerned when i only hear snippets of comments here and there. if you were sitting in the white house right now, what would you be screaming from the top of rafters that joe biden and vice president harris need to be doing right now? not next week, not next thursday, right here right now with the bully pulpit that they have? >> great question. so i wouldn't be screaming, i would be respectful and i would advise him to use the full force of his office to actually make this a priority. we know what that looks like because the president has done it before. he did this on covid relief. he did this on the recovery plan. he's doing it right now on infrastructure. but look, you cannot tell me th

joining us now is ezra levin. co-founder of indivisible. mr. levin, it's nice to see you.aking time. >> great to be here, rachel. >> what do you think is going to happen tomorrow? >> i think we're going to see us get off to the races tomorrow. look, we are not headed towards a brick wall. we're headed towards a little bit of a speed bump, but this is all part of the plan. so, we've got to put tomorrow in context. there were several steps to this dance of legislation coming up. first the for the people act had to pass the house. it did that. then it had to go through the senate process, go through the committee process, go through markup, go through vote. it's done all that. now, the next step in this process is we have to debate whether there will be a debate. that is what the vote is tomorrow. the vote tomorrow is not the for the people act. the vote is should the senate consider the for the people act. this is what we're sure is going to happen. mitch mcconnell and the entirety of the republican caucus is going to say, nope, we don't want to debate voting rights. we don'

with that parents perhaps found ezra among other children on the street. he says their child is taken in part. he already has 6 children of his own union as you live wally, keep a sacrifice the little that i have that god has given me. that is what i feed the children, but still struggling for at least they can still afford a simple meal. many others are fighting over essential to the people. yes. but then that again, that's not enough not pain and it becomes a to provide to people the next hour, many of the 400000 people who fled the option come here to the town of soccer. there are no shelter. people are sleeping in schools or inside the church was when we, when i so how can i keep to the living conditions? i've become very bad with markets have no, personally, i'm not making a living. i'm now poor. was this young man. now me was taken in 3 days ago. she never forget the moment when the sky turned red. i told my mom, look, the volcano is now on fire. we got out and many were seeing. there was when we lost each other. i was very afraid i was shaking. i wa

but he found ezra among other children on the street. he says that child is taken in body already has 6 children of his own union as to why they keep bill a 2nd. a little that i have that god has given me. that is what i feed the children . but still struggling at least they can still afford a simple meal. many others fighting over essential to the people. yeah. that's not enough. not pain. and it becomes a faculty provide the people the next hour, many of the $400000.00 people who fled the option come here to the town of soccer. there are no shelter. people are sleeping and schools are inside the church. what when we, when? how can i keep to the living conditions have become very bad? markets have no food. i personally am not making a living. i'm now poor. was this thing here. you know me was taken in 3 days ago. she never forgot the moment when the sky turned red. yes. i told my mom, mom, look, the volcano is now on fire. we got out and many were seeing there was when we lost each other. i was very afraid i was shaking. i was not even

the former president was asked by ezra klein of the new york times on klein's podcast. to assume that we know that there are other beings out there in space. so under that assumption, he said, how would that change your politics? my politics has always been premised on the notion that the differences we have on this planet are real. they are profound and they cause enormous tragedy, as well as joy. but we're just a bunch of humans would doubts and confusion. we do the best we can and the best thing we can do is treat each other better. because we're all we got. and i would hope that the knowledge that there were aliens out there would solidify people's sense that what we have in common is a little more important. ah, but he's very skeptical of humanity. but no doubt there would be immediate arguments about like, well, you know, we need to spend a lot more money on weapon systems to defend ourselves, which and those new religions would pop up and who knows what kind of arguments we get into. we were good at manufacturing arguments for each other. no religious. i mean onl

i also think there is an interesting interview that senator chuck schumer gave recently to ezra klein, new york times, he talked about democrats core strength really been on making people's economic prospects better. that is what democrats are really good at. a lot of these regulatory debates, we want to make sure that the tech industry operates responsibly and i think most importantly, the tech is working for people and helping people as opposed to people working for technology but i also think it's appropriate that the administration has a pretty, has a pretty disciplined focus on economic policies that will help people recover from the pandemic. >> host: we have time for two final questions. here is the first one. what about added taxes on tech transactions and on tech in general? >> guest: we have seen this in maryland early this year where they passed a digital advertising tax that single out digital and that is probably in violation of existing federal law and there is a pending lawsuit against that. you also see this in europe. they have single out the digital sector for taxati

>>, this is dan ezra in san francisco.ommissioner i think you reference like all of the major challenges that have gotten us where we are today. we've been working with staff very closely for many years . to address these challenges which frankly like the issue are not unique to this project. they are just things that certainly black for its scale and face . i think one that you didn't mention's construction costs which have been challenging in sanfrancisco . certainly since 2018 and in particular since 2016, we have an independent cost consultant escalation at 15 percent since 2018 and over 30 percent from 2016 so that you burn for any project to bear. then you have the acute but nevertheless the impacts of the pandemic where you have vacancy rates have tripled. rents are down you have 20 to 30 percent industry of trance a. condo prices are down so those are just global challenges looking up housing pipeline, that reflects the fact that this is not something unique to this project projects have moved forward especially in

ezra cline has this great look with research from political scientists and sociologists.political political parties used to be coalitions of industries and industry groups and you can compromise. we will trade this for that but beginning with the sorting of the parties and that after the civil rights act was passed once we get these purified parties the people in the other party are -- and that wasn't so true in the 1970s let's say so our national politics has shifted to be not even about money it's been more about identity and it said trump made it much more so and biden is has done a good job of trying to go back to a more democratic focus on the economy as opposed to the culture war stuff. this is something we are seeing on campus and now it's showing up in high schools and private high schools the emphasis on identity and encouraging people to think about identity, some are bad and some are good and this is just blowing up. i would urge our audience if you see this happening now you know it's a ship identity is really bad for diverse liberal democracy. i don't know fi

and being on the show today, pleasure speaking to ezra senior last year. thank you. thank you. thank you. turning now to some other stories from the pandemic. india's corona virus infections to 28000000, monday, with health authorities reporting over 2000000 active cases. there is some good news india's day, the new infection rates continue to decline indicating the current wave may have already paid. china has locked down con joe, after a flare up in new code cases. initial reports indicate the new infections linked to the mutation 1st to take that in india. health authorities are ramping up local testing and vaccination drives to prevent a widespread outbreak. the palestinian territories have approved a single dose version of russia. sputnik vaccine dub sputnik light rushes direct basement fund is reportedly and talks with india manufacturers to stop producing the job as early as next month. they use in asian markets and a record virus search has he dodge and tina and officials to suspend the copa america football tournament there. the chief cabinet minister said his country

ezra klein in his book, mentioned the population is represented unequally by the senate. 70% of the population has 30 senators representing them, and 30% of the population has 70 senators. that's why the filibuster has to go. 90% of americans want gun control, but because of the way the senate is currently constructed we cannot get it. most of the damage to the people in the country, from guns, is in the city areas. therefore, we have to point out to the west virginia senator that the population is not being adequately represented. thank you. guest: there is no question that the senate was created in an undemocratic fashion. california, the largest state, 40 million people and to senators. wyoming, closer to a half million, also has two senators, so that is patently unfair. i have to say, though, i do not see a solution to that. it's baked into our constitution and it is not amendable. the reality is i think that we, for those on my side of the aisle, are better off recognizing that that inequity exists and we just have to win in more sparsely populated states. we've been able to do that in we

but when asked by "the new york times" ezra klein about how his politics would change if he discovered that you'd like to know what the ufo objects are too. >> absolutely. >> it came out they were alien and we got undeniable proof of that, how would that change your politics or your theory about where humanity should be going? >> it's interesting. it wouldn't change my politics at all, right? because my entire politics is premised on the fact that we are these tiny organisms on this little speck floating in the middle of space. but the point is i guess that my politics has always been premised on the notion that the differences we have on this planet are real. they're profound, and they cause enormous tragedy as well as joy, but we're just a bunch of humans with doubts and confusion. we do the best we can. and the best thing we can do is treat each other better because we're all we we got. >> nice to hear at a time when civility feels like it only exists in a galaxy far, far away. thanks for watching. before we go, i just want to say happy pride month. our coverage continues. al shelts

ezra stiles was the president and but yes, i am and i probably left one out. oh saint andrews, actually the first one in scotland my beloved scotland. i love that place by the way, but anyway, yes, it was it was a pleasure meeting you you were such an you were young you were you had already accomplished much in in virginia, and i i was looking forward to to seeing what else that you might be able to accomplish. and then and then we stuck you with writing the declaration. i was too smart for that because i had been an editor and i said, i don't want to write anything that someone's going to chop up. and so i proceeded to chop up yours, i believe. no, you were not the only one doctor. i'm afraid that i'm afraid that john adams had much heavier heavier hand at it. well, yeah have your hand. and most things you reflecting as you're reflecting upon the the degrees that had been gifted you. i remember when we first met in philadelphia officially there that i remarked that though. i heard you had come to the old world college of women mary that i had attended only tw

joining me now, new york times op-ed comets ezra klein.d president barack obama about how the country went from yes we can to maga. >> and megan, an advocacy group in divisible. >> you conducted that interview as are, i want to follow up on the question. it's ambiguous in the interview about whether he is saying, you basically have to deal with the fact that this is the reality, and persuade a majority to get things done or whether he saying the filibuster has rented the country ungovernable. it was a bit ambiguous between the two. >> obama yields in paradoxes. the big part of that interview is his willingness to say something is true, and the opposite is true. obama has evolved tremendously on the filibuster. i had this argument during his presidency he was not able to give it up then. he said clearly and if the filibuster is getting in the way in of democracy. -- given or there is a lot of advice on democrats in a conversation, what don't you say? what do you do to work in a pluralistic way with people you don't agree with, and how do yo

this is the theme of the 21st century and ezra klein had this book why we are polarized and he reviewsot of research into summarizes it. political parties used to be coalitions of interest groups and industries and when that's the case you can compromise this for that but beginning with that sorting of the parties and after the civil rights act was passed which you referred to before, once we have these parties, the people in the other parties really are different. they dress different and each a different and that wasn't so true before the 1970s let's say so the national politics has shifted to be not even about material interests for money but much more about identity and i would say trump made that much more so and biden is doing a good job of at least trying to go back to a more democratic focus on the economy and the working class as opposed to the culture war and this is something we are seeing on campus and now it is blowing up in high schools, the emphasis on identity, trying to encourage people to speak about identity. summary of bad, some are of good and this is just blowing

all you need to do is just look at the ezra klein interview from last week. about how his numbers -- you can talk to valerie about this -- his numbers, every time he would talk about policing, with any kind of edge of criticism, would tank. because white america doesn't want to hear a black man telling them. i mean, that was a no brainer, by the way. you got a harvard professor, on his own front porch. but i'm just saying, it was interesting tonight. where, yeah, they all -- they all see what's wrong. i just don't see any fix coming, anytime soon. that's just me. but i look forward to your conversation with valerie jarrett. >> learn how to throw a punch. and to be -- >> got to learn how to take a punch. you got to learn how to fend with the next blow is coming the next time. and you have to figure out how to return it. or at least learn not to get hit. you got to get some more floyd mayweather in you. >> i didn't want to offend anybody. that's it. all of them. all of them. the current democrats. the current ones, who, i don't know what they are, democrats, lo

but he found ezra among other children on the street. he says that child has taken in body already has 6 children of his own union as to why they keep doing a sexual sized a little that i have that god has given me. that is what i feed the children, but are still struggling at least they can still afford a simple meal. many others are fighting over essential to the people. yes, but they're not being able to provide the people over the next hour. many of the 400000 people who fled the eruption come here to the town of soccer. there are no shelters . people are sleeping in schools or inside the church. what when we want to so, how can i keep the living conditions? i've become very bad. markets have no, personally, i'm not making a living. i'm now poor was this. may. you know me was taken in 3 days ago. she never forget the moment when the sky turned red. i told my mom, mom, look, the volcano is now on fire. we got out and many we're seeing there was when we lost each other. i was very afraid i was shaking. i was not even able to run to the

ezra, megan, thank you both. that is "all in." "the rachel maddow show" starts now. good evening, rachel. >> thanks for joining us this hour. i did not know it before today, but apparently when they launched it, they made like a movie commercial for it. they called it "the beacon of freedom." this is a thing i knew existed. i had no idea they launched it with this short film. but it is worth watching now. it is only like 20 seconds or so. watch this. >> a million followers. >> first of all, the idea of something being from the desk of someone and that thing also being a fast-moving enough thing that it requires like photography from space in order to show it, that's kind of a weird mixed message because what's like that that comes from a desk? but this is the sort of ad they put out to launch the new public platform for donald trump's desk. yes, he used to be president, but now he's at his house in florida. arising, a beacon of freedom that is a place straight from his desk where you can speak freely and safely. or maybe where he can speak freely and safely, since it

but ezra klein writes this, fear of violence undermines liberal policies. and '80s and '90s. strong men politicians win. punitive responses like mass incarceration and warrior policing rise. social trust collapses. so is there a concern among liberals that this has to be dealt with, or should there be? >> well, i think there definitely should be. i think there's a concern when you're talking particularly about looking at congressional races over the last couple of years, the last four years or so, the centrist democrats, the moderates, the democrats who are in more conservative-leaning places are the ones really sounding the alarm on this. they say to their own democratic colleagues, we understand a lot of these attacks are made in bad faith that, not all of our party supports defunding the police. we're not talking about taking weapons away or letting anarchy reign in cities or towns, but these attacks that republicans are making, this notion that we want to just not have law enforcement anymore and we're anti-police is really damaging and does scare voter

-- because ezra ask, why did you get all of these votes from these white working class dudes.en though my views were very progressive on lbgtq issues and da da da, you point out the fact, it's a nice thing to say in 2021, but they weren't. ten years ago, barack obama was saying that as a christian, he believed that marriage was between a man and a woman. when joe biden came out and blurted out that he thought that -- >> went rogue! >> went rogue and said, no, it's not that limited. joe biden was put in the corner for months. and so there is some revisionism. i'm not trying to rain on anybody's parade. i'm just saying, democrats don't need to fool themselves into believing what barack obama stood for and what he didn't stand for. and you talked about this yesterday. explain >> yeah, i mean, look, obama is a really smart politician. east an incredibly charismatic speaker and an appealing guy on a lot of levels, but he played hardball politics. when marriage equality was unpopular, he was against it. the polling shifted. some biden gifts helped shift things. but he delivered espe
