This week, The Ezra Klein Show examined how transformative figures reshape institutions and ideas. The episodes explored the Democratic Party's identity crisis and potential reinvention, investigated how Donald Trump's political evolution has altered American conservatism, and featured a conversation with Christopher Nolan about Elon Musk's ambitions and influence.
