if trump walks into simple linguistic traps many fear the sophisticated xi will leave, the end resulting, and it will matter to us all. our china editor carrie graciejoins me now. how important is this encounter for xi, and what does success look like for the chinese right now? it is incredibly important. he has a communist party congress at the end of this year and if he can bring home something he can call a victory from the biggest foreign policy stage, then that enormously strengthens him at home. they see this as a moment of danger, yes, a moment of risk, to head into florida without an agenda, with this unpredictable counterpart, but on the other hand, it is a moment of opportunity. the us has no china strategy right now. as you were saying, it has no team for china. president obama had a strategy — there was the transpacific partnership, the betrayed trade dealfor asia, underpinned by security alliances. without the transpacific partnership, the whole of asia is looking on and saying, what is the us policy in asia? this is a time for china to step in while policy is unformed, i

you mentioned montgomery was there who was an accomplished linguist. off to berlin to start building the berlin tomball. -- berlin tunnel. so of course in the east you have the soviet sector and then you have the french, british, and american sector. , this idea for the tunnel was all the districts. you have the border there so you could tunnel. a lot of logistics had to be figured out. they hatched a plan to have a warehouse at the border. they were open about it. instead of doing what they said they were going to do, then they could bring all this stuff and without attracting attention. they filled the warehouse with the dirt from the tunnel. in that sense it was successfully built without any suspicion from the east. those ones are a small problem. >> it was about as long as the reflecting pool. in washington. it was that long. it was ambitious project. george blake, many of you know who he is. he was officer. he had been captured in korea. he eventually changed sides, there are conflicting stories upon why. he says it was because of conviction. he

you said with years of linguistic experiences. what situation are you referring to? >> partly what i was asking, exactly what is in the portfolio. it's our understanding that mr. kushner is involved with mexico, saudi arabia, canada. involved with a number of issues, china. >> he's made clear initially during the transition, he played a key role in helping to facilitate a lot of those. now the state department is running, he's pushing a lot of those. there's people that will -- there's a lot of relationships that jared has made over time with different leaders. mexico being one of them you mentioned, that will continue to have conversations with him. that doesn't mean by any means it's being done without coordination with the state department. in fact the opposite. he's continued to work with him and facilitate an outcome. he brings a perspective to this and began doing that during the transition. it's not a binary choice where he's doing this at the expense of somebody else. >> so he's a direct line to the president whereas the other institutions are not? >> great.

there are institutions with experienced diplomats who have years of decades of linguistic and experience on the ground. >> whatever these issues are, just be clear with years of experience. so what situation are you referring to? >> it's partly why i was asking what's in the portfolio. it's our understanding that kushner is involved with mexico, saudi arabia, canada, he's involved with a number of different issues in china. >> i think that there's been -- as he's made clear officially during the transition, he played a key role this facilitating a lot of those. now that the state department is up and running, he's push ed a lot of those. there's a lot of relationships that he's made over time with different leaders in mexico being one of them you mentioned. that doesn't mean it's going to be done without coordination with the state department. quite the opposite. he continues to work with them and facilitate an outcome. he's not a binary choice. >> i'm coming at you two next. pictures of jared kushner with the iraqi prime minister that have just come in. on jared kushner first, what do y

his official at the nation for venus with their linguist is a specialist listed to the american mission, the american head of mission. he claimed and i think probably correctly so that he was the last american to enter switzerland before the germans sealed off the border and he was really in a lot of ways are there during the war. he couldn't leave for several years. he was unable to receive much help from the oss. a few agents were able to use me through for italy, but he didn't have a great deal of interaction with them. so it was sort of a big difficult for him. this is the house he selected. this on the first floor, which also served as his office. he chose this particular location. the pictures taken around 1933 and in the old quarter on a street called aharon dossett. he chose this specifically because they received is the shopping street. there is a lot of foot traffic going back and forth. that would provide cover for people who are coming to visit him at the front door. he occasionally saw what he suspected were german agents across the street monitoring comings and goings. eve

we go through this whole linguistics gymnastics after every threat. >> we see it over and over again with the mainstream immediate yeah. they go so far out of their way all the way to try to sanitize the record so that it is politically correct, instead of factually and legally accurate. i have a huge problem with this. why are they doing this? why are they trying to sanitize it? what is it they're so invested in and so afraid of. that's not me making us more safe. call it like it is. somebody can be in fact mentally ill. can be evil. can be someone who is committing an act of terror and somebody who is committing a hate crime. you see it all the time and i did in san francisco and los angeles with different allegations on the complaint. people charged with different crimes, multiple variables. there is no one specific standard form or uniform for crime orat terror like this. they weren't honest to begin with. >> greg: why is it so important to find the right label. >> eric: because there are certain levels of punishment that are associated. i mean, do hate crimes -- is there a hiera

linguist george lakoff and drew west, joining us from emory university.e, what do you mean by a framework of caring, and how does that translate to holding these protests over and over and over? >> well, first, you don't have democracy without care. as lincoln said, democracy is of, by and for the people. "for the people" means democracy has to care about the people. and that is crucial. but that's been true since the beginning. from the beginning we had the private depending upon public resources. from roads and bridges to all sorts of things for both business and private life. public education, national bank, interstate commerce. you know, on and on. lots of things like that that supported both business and private life, and more recently, all of science. where do you get computer science from? the n.i.h. where did you get satellite communication from? nasa and noaa. where do you get cellphones and gps systems from? the defense department, with satellites depending on switching circuits that go in nanoseconds, billionths of a second. if they're a millio

[ applause ] >> jimmy: i don't know, that could be totally wrong. >> yeah, i mean, i hope that's right. >> jimmy: no, no, it's darria. because there are like 11 maniac in the world that pay attention to this sort of stuff. for some reason they have to focus -- they've hired a guy full-time to make these 11 maniacs happy. >> right. >> jimmy: this movie, you don't drive in these, any of these cars? >> right. >> jimmy: is that kind of a bummer that you're in, what is the name -- >> "the fate of the furious." >> jimmy: "the fate of

civilian government, that they haven't been able to handle the diversity in our population, the linguistic and ethnic diversity, the sectarian diversity. we haven't been able to handle them well. that is all that i can say. therefore if they have been centrifugal forces that are prevented the government from functioning well and the people's faith in the army in pakistan, people have tremendous faith in the army. they think the army is the solution to everything and they demand of the army to come in and intervene. so there are issues that are particular to pakistan and not applicable to india that much. >> what do you suggest the current government of pakistan can do to remedy the issue of sectarian violence and intolerance domestically? gen. musharraf: let me tell you what pakistan's environment understand, ius divide pakistan into four categories. number one, moderates. moderates are in the minority. they are the enlightened, progressive, educated ones. they wield influence, but they are only [indiscernible] they are in a minority. the second category is conservatives. conservative is t

white house to maybe go and get after after-hours tour at the holocaust museum because they are a linguistics disaster talking about this, talking about the subject. and it's important because each generation, particularly as the generation that fought that war, that survived those camps passes from the span of a human lifetime, it's now our obligation to bear witness to the greatest crime in all of humanity. >> it absolutely is. and don't ever just easily reach for the hitler analogy. don't ever, ever, ever do that. >> i'm so proud of my uncle george who was a tank commander and he went into one of those camps. they weren't called holocaust centers. they were camps. i do wish him well in the sense that i think spicer has made a mistake and that's what it is, a mistake. thank you. >>> up next, donald trump says relations between the united states and russia are now at an all-time low. this is his secretary of state sat down with vladimir putin for a meeting in moscow that trump says although he hadn't talked to tillerson, went better than he thought it would. this is the craziest group. they

as a linguistic tools? would you think it is trying to pass on some sort of subliminal message?” be honest, he probablyjust liked the sound of the word. it is quite a nice sounding word, especially combined with the phrase, mutton—headed old mugwump, it has this alliterative quality to it as well. i don't think he really understood what the word meant. i certainly don't think he understood the history behind the word within american political culture. i think he has since claimed he thought it had come from roald dahl‘s charlie and the chocolate factory. roald dahl uses a similar word in the puts, he uses the word mugglewump and in harry potter, the supreme mugwump. reptilian alien has been described in one piece of fiction as a mugwump. buti described in one piece of fiction as a mugwump. but i don't thinkjohnson knew what it meant and he must have known that his audience, notjust in the sun but more generally, would not know what a mugwump is. i like many others had to go to a dictionary to check the meaning of that particular word. i think the question is why it's borisjohnson

africa is a much more heterogeneous linguistically than europe, so you might have six or seven different indigenous languages. when people came to south carolina, they had to find a way to talk to each other and construct a language. the language that emerged in that culture. learning that with a rootedness in the place really became tremendously important. in the 1970's and 1980's, a lot of the work we were doing was coming out of the fact that a lot of the american industrial towns in the northeast and midwest of course, deindustrializing. we have heard a lot about white working class times. it was clear that a whole architectural heritage of our industrial age was threatened. there was no longer an economic use for a lot of those mill towns. we got hired to figure out what to do with those places. we constructed programs in new york and massachusetts and ohio and pennsylvania to create heritage parks. and in every case, it was a matter of locating the memories of people from that place and trying to find, what was the investment that they had in a place? capitalism is a great powerful

the facts of the case we now live -- there's -- i'm in a linguistics class now called truth. the first class they played a documentary with a man who was a defense attorney in the bronx during the 1970's. he'll tell you that if you ask somebody what shape a table is, you can get three answers. if you're sitting at the table it's probably a rectangle. if you're underneath it, who knows, it's the ceiling. if you're looking at that time from the side it's a rounded edge, so clearly it's a semicircle. i think that's basically where we are with the news. i don't know if the coverage were the same issues that people would find factual difference anyway. i think part of the problem is we don't agree what the issues are that are pressing and facing the country. i don't know how you get there, but i don't think that a national dialogue necessarily starts online or starts in the press. i think it starts door-to-door. maybe that's then how people go about campaigning in that right now it's easy to sort of know you have numbers if you can only get them to show up. and there is no onus to

i'm a linguist but because of my parents and the company, i was always interested in business. i grew up in the company perhaps i would have chosen a different profession. but i used the opportunity because before i got into management, i worked in the company and so it made sense. >> do women get specific attention at trump at your company to be empowered accelerated in whatever way. >> well, we have of course, working models that are revolutionary in germany i think. every two years, you can specify how much you want to work, 40%, 60%, you can work. remotely. but we also offer the same thing to men so i want to say clearly we only will have a chance if we take the men along. so we very couples in our company. there are many who basically having shifts that they coordinate so they say well, you work 60 or 80% for a couple years and i take care of the children or the animals or i take care of older people. and then we change around and we do the same thing with cooperating companies, for example, we have porsche very close by and we have an exchange of opinions. so basically yo
