| 0:12.4 | Welcome to the Ezra Client Show. |
| 0:13.7 | This is an episode I'm very excited to have gotten to do and to bring to you. |
| 0:18.1 | Jonathan Cohen from The Huffington Post is one of my favorite journalists he has been for a decade now. |
| 0:24.4 | When I was, but a cub trying to learn how to cover healthcare, |
| 0:27.7 | John is the guy I wanted to be like. |
| 0:30.0 | He's a brilliant policy reporter, brilliant mind, a really generous, gentle human being too. |
| 0:35.2 | He comes with a lot of decency, which is not always true in our political media complex right now. |
| 0:41.9 | And John wrote a piece recently that spoke to something that I think has gotten much too |
| 0:46.1 | little coverage in this election. What is Hillary Clinton's policy agenda? How is it being formulated? |

| 1:26.8 | add up to an economic policy in a way that is not really being articulated, but I think is worth |
| 1:31.1 | giving some serious consideration to. It's a lot of fun and I certainly learned a lot talking to |
| 1:36.0 | John about where the Clinton campaign actually is on policy and what their internal process looks |
| 1:41.9 | like, which is I think very important because a lot of that process is going to form the foundation |
| 1:45.9 | for what she does in the White House if indeed she's elected. As always, please share this episode |
