What Does Abdul El-Sayed Believe?

The Ezra Klein Show, 25 September 2026. The book comes up at 1 hr 35 min in.

Abdul El-Sayed recommends the Autobiography of Malcolm X for Malcolm X's coming-of-age story and prophetic willingness to speak truth to power. El-Sayed draws a distinction he finds central: speaking truth to pain is harder than speaking truth to power, a lesson he connects to his medical training and to the current political moment.
