Noam Chomsky discusses with Jeffrey E. the topic of meaning in language and the difficulty of distinguishing between a word's concept and its usage. He mentions that his prediction about Donald Trump avoiding the White House seems to have been correct, but he also finds Trump's tweets hard to ignore as others consider their meaning. In another conversation, Chomsky shares a story Jon Snow told him about Tony Blair during his visit to Saudi Arabia,, where Blair was reading the New Testament and discussing gold door handles.
