And there are a lot of road riders or mountain bikers or anyone who is more of an enthusiast - they're paying $2,000, $3,000, $4,000 for a bike, and that same percentage price increase will apply to them as well. The bike doesn't get any cheaper because of the tariffs or the kind of bike riding you like to do. So bike prices will probably go up, you know, $1,000 on a $4,000 bike.

How soon do you think that this impact will be felt?

I think it'll be felt by the end of the summer. So anything that's manufactured and delivered after June 1 will cost more to import into the U. S.  And so that price will be seen in these mom and pop shops that rely on sometimes a shrinking consumer base to sell their products to.

And if the price goes up to that degree, what effect is this going to have on these shops?

Well, a bicycle isn't like a gallon of milk, you know?The demand can fluctuate. And so the demand for bicycles will probably go down. We're seeing bike shops close because in some areas, the demand for bicycling is going down. And this is a huge blow if you consider anyone having to sell bikes 25% to 50% increase in price.

turn 4 : This implies that the bike industry intend to increase bike cost from current 10% increase to 25% increase.

turn 4 : Race is a deep-seated issue in society that cannot be easily solved

turn 4 : "A bicycle isn't like a gallon of milk, you know? The demand can fluctuate." - The literal meaning of this turn is that the demand for a bicycle can fluctuate, unlike the demand for a gallon of milk. The actual meaning is that the demand for bicycles may decrease due to the increase in prices, and it will not remain constant like the demand for a gallon of milk.

turn 4 : taking race off the table implies that people would not consider race in the election

turn 4 : The speaker believes that the current state of affairs in America is bleak and lacking in resources and opportunities for most people, regardless of their race.


He had a very special place in the music pantheon.

He really did, and those people live forever.

Absolutely.

People like Marvin Gaye and Donny Hathaway and Nat King Cole and Luther Vandross. That's why we say the late, great. And people used to say that about my dad, and I didn't - I only heard it about daddy, you know, the late, great, Donny Hathaway. And I say it about Luther as well. You know, his - it's such a void created that it will never be filled again.

turn 3 : Even though they faced many obstacles in their music career, they persevered and continued to move forward.

turn 3 : They would not do bad things were most people would find out about them.

turn 3 : The person being referred to was a great loss to the music industry and cannot be replaced

turn 3 : There was almost a competition for who had the authority of the the situation.

turn 3 : He worked on the intelligence committee and learned a great deal of things that most people don't know about the world.


Good to be with you, Scott.

So do you see the governor getting through the weekend?

It's hard to see how he can continue in politics, Scott. The visuals here are a hideous reminder at the very beginning of Black History Month of what passed for college humor not too long ago. Northam may be a changed man today. All indications are that he's been an agent of change and racial healing as a man in the military, a man of medicine in Virginia. And it just is so difficult to see how he can go on now with all these calls from all of his allies for him to step down.

And to repeat, it was in his medical school yearbook, and this must have been some kind of ticking time bomb.

turn 2 : "change the dynamics" means to alter the way things are done

turn 2 : an agent of change is someone who speaks up for change

turn 2 : The key point is made to make people want to learn more about what happened.

turn 2 : The information does not boil down, but it gets to the most practical facts.

turn 2 : A has recently researched various topics and is knowledgeable about them.


(Soundbite of song "St.  James Infirmary"):

(Singing) I've been down to St.  James infirmary And saw my baby lying there. He was stretched out on a long white pillow. So sweet. So cold. So fair.

Let him go, let him go. God bless him. Wherever he may be. He can look this whole wide world over. And never find a sweet girl like me.

You have done so many different types of music. You have done the Monkeys, you know. What's coming up next for you?I don't know if you've already started work on another album or thought about it, but what direction do you think you're heading in next?

turn 1 : The speaker is mentioning a song that reflects their current emotions.

turn 1 : The speaker is singing about a dead person at a funeral

turn 1 : Hillary Clinton would also generate a lot of interest.

turn 1 : The wonkiness of smart candidates is not popular with voters.

turn 1 : Not all parties weigh in on ballot design


Well. . .

. . . National security officers out there speaking about it?

I could tell you a couple of dozen major news reports that turned out to be false based on the actual report that Robert Mueller issued. So when the president called those stories fake news at the time, you know, folks like you dismissed it, but it turned out he was right.

Now, it does seem like he's dismissing it, and he's being dismissive of it. I'm not sure he completely understands the implications of the impeachment inquiry. I think Nancy Pelosi is the smartest person in Washington right now. And I think she didn't pull the trigger on this without knowing that she had more ammunition in her guns.

turn 3 : They don't think Nancy Pelosi would begin impeachment proceedings if she wasn't sure that what she knew would get the president impeached.

turn 3 : She is not necessarily the one that is making the decisions with the impeachment.

turn 3 : The Legislature wants to get the governor out of office before dealing with a huge budget deficit and the dysfunctional relationship between them.

turn 3 : The governor has had a hard time finding common ground in the legislature to get things done due to the difficulty in passing a budget.

turn 3 : the democrats did everything they could to make it look bipartisan.


She - of all the characters I've written, she's the only one who came to me sort of fully formed. At the start of the book, she's six years old. And to me, she's sort of this very curious, trusting, defiant young girl whose chief attribute is this kind of rebellion against unknowing. She wants to know as much as possible. And the central arc of the book is essentially her life and how her desire to know - her curiosity is sort of used against her during this war.

Sarat is forced to flee with her family, and she ends up in a vast refugee camp where she gets recruited, essentially. She becomes a weapon in this civil war, and she's kind of transformed by hate. She seems like she's not exactly a heroine that you'd read about in "The Hunger Games" but something rather darker.

Yeah. I didn't want to write a book with good guys and bad guys and a clear dividing line between them. The idea behind writing it when I first started had to do with the idea of the universality of revenge. There's no sort of foreign way of suffering - that any of us subjected to enough evil will become evil ourselves.

Is this a book about how someone becomes a terrorist?

turn 3 : The literal interpretation of this question implies that the book focuses on the process of someone becoming a terrorist. However, the actual meaning is that the book explores how an individual, in this case the character Sarat, is forced into extreme circumstances that lead her to become involved in acts of violence during a civil war. The intent is not to justify terrorism but to examine the transformation and complex motivations behind such actions.

turn 3 : The literal meaning of this turn is that the tribal aspect of this conflict has triggered the most horrific aspects of this war. The implied meaning is that the tribal divisions are at the root of the war and are responsible for the extreme violence.

turn 3 :  "Well, for so long nobody really knew where they were from." - The literal meaning of this turn is a response to the previous statement, but the actual meaning is an acknowledgment of the historical difficulties African Americans have faced in tracing their ancestry due to the legacy of slavery and displacement.

turn 3 : The speaker believes that the current state of affairs in America is bleak and lacking in resources and opportunities for most people, regardless of their race.

turn 3 : The head rag is associated with negative stereotypes.


One last, I think, pretty blunt question we've got in 40 seconds left - why is President Trump more critical of Alec Baldwin than he is of Vladimir Putin on this week when Putin shows an animated video of Russian missiles smacking Florida?

I, you know - I think if you look at the President Trump style with ISIS as an example - he doesn't like to tip his hand. He was critical of the last administration by declaring departure dates, and so forth and things going on in the Middle East. And I think he's been tougher on Russia and Vladimir Putin than any other administration, at least the last two.

Really?

And so I would say, stay tuned to that. He's pretty predictable in that way.

turn 0 : This statement implies that President Trump has a history of not trusting U.S. intelligence agencies, which may affect his response to the CIA report on the killing of Jamal Khashoggi.

turn 0 : President Trump is more critical of Alec Baldwin than Vladimir Putin despite Putin's provocative action.

turn 0 : Unilateral sanctions might force Tehran to reconsider their decision to stay in the agreement

turn 0 : It is not yet known how the sanctions will be received

turn 0 : This implies that Iran has found ways to evade or circumvent the sanctions, despite their severity.


Really?

turn 0 : Facilities that were supposed to be safe places were bombed.

turn 0 : The United States' policy of isolating Iran will not bring Iran back to the negotiating table by just piling on pressure until Iran collapses.

turn 0 : This means that Russian missiles were aimed at Florida but they did not literally 'smack' there.

turn 0 : The Trump administration's strategy of maximum pressure may lead Iran to negotiate


Really?

turn 1 : The president is trying to divert attention away from negative news about him and his administration

turn 1 : People are not playing a game but taking part in a military conflict.

turn 1 : President Trump avoids tipping his hand and is critical of previous administrations for declaring departure dates.

turn 1 : Military interventions often escalate beyond their original scope.

turn 1 : They are worried about any negative consequences of their actions and will fix them quickly.


Really?

turn 3 : This implies that people are already curious to know how A intends to defeat Trump.

turn 3 : The United States' policy of isolating Iran will not bring Iran back to the negotiating table by just piling on pressure until Iran collapses.

turn 3 : The Trump administration's strategy of maximum pressure may lead Iran to negotiate

turn 3 : The situation with the US and Iran is concerning for Europeans

turn 3 : A suggests that Trump's behavior is predictable in certain ways.


Everybody else in the theater did. I didn't.

Oh, yeah, right.

Every single person cried except for me.

Oh, yeah, because they were only slicing onions for you?

turn 2 : The speaker did not cry because they were not moved by the movie, while everyone else was

turn 2 : The whole courtroom was probably not crying, it just means that a lot of people present were crying or just moved emotionally.

turn 2 : a pound refers and implies to a body weight and not one British pound

turn 2 : They would go in every day without fail to weigh themself.

turn 2 : "it will mean it's more lightweight for them to lift" - The literal meaning of "more lightweight" is redundant, as the adjective "lightweight" already implies that the object is light. The intended meaning is that the wheelchairs will be lighter, making them easier for people to lift.


Oh, yeah, right.

turn 2 : They mean that this is not a small way of being associated with Russia.

turn 2 : A: "Well, I think the only way you're going to get a cease-fire is if one side stops shooting because clearly the Russians and the Russian-backed separatists are bent on continuing to fight." - This turn uses the idiom "bent on" to mean "determined to" or "committed to," rather than a literal meaning of being physically bent over something.

turn 2 : A did not cry while everyone else did at the theater.

turn 2 : is that the people of Moscow are not paying attention to the report, but rather are more concerned with the inauguration of Donald Trump.


Oh, yeah, right.

turn 3 : The whole courtroom was probably not crying, it just means that a lot of people present were crying or just moved emotionally.

turn 3 : playing refers to as and implies engaged with or undertake

turn 3 : The speaker did not cry due to lack of emotional involvement, not because of onions.

turn 3 : B finds something amusing or funny, but it's not clear what

turn 3 : In turn 4, "It's fun to write (laughter)" implies that the speaker enjoys writing a story which challenges the conventional expectations of the characters.


Oh, yeah, right.

turn 3 : B is sarcastically suggesting that the reason A didn't cry was that they were not affected emotionally by the movie.

turn 3 : The person implies that they cried all week. Actually they are just implying that they were emotionally affected for days by the poem.

turn 3 : The administration doesn't want to draw attention to the position by calling it a 'czar'

turn 3 : The statement is tongue in cheek. B is joking that "car czar" rhymes and fits in with the habit of calling so many positions "czar" in American government.

turn 3 : It changes the way you think about the situation. Russia wants to capitalize on everyone's problems in the region.


DR.  GABRIEL FITZPATRICK: Well, all I can say is we too in this area are having some positive news stories from patients who have recovered from of Ebola, but this is not due to any experimental medical treatment which is available. When a patient is admitted here with Ebola, they're given various forms of supportive medical treatment such as anti-malaria treatments or spectrum antibiotics, which can treat chest infections, urinary tract infections. And they're also provided IV hydration if that's required. And these have some effects on reducing the mortality rates associated with Ebola, but there are - I have to say - not a treatment for Ebola.

Seven out of 10 patients that you admit for treatment with Ebola die. It must be going through your mind what have they done there at Emory in Atlanta that we might be able to use here because they seemingly saved two lives there.

In the situation I am working here at the moment, we have no experience with any experimental drugs. And I am not in a position to comment on that because we are here at the invitation of Sierra Leone. And we cannot do things that break the law, only with possibly faced expulsion. So everything we have done is in conjunction with the government of Sierra Leone. And we will continue to do that. But obviously MSF welcomes any new novel treatments. They should be made available as quickly as possible to patients if they're found to be of adequate value.

Dr.  Fitzpatrick, I am told you have a family back in Dublin?

turn 3 : DR GONZALEZ AND HIS FAMILYWAIKED THROUGH AFORESTAND FACES MORE INTENSED THINGS

turn 3 : Is Dr. Fitzpatrick worried about his family in Dublin due to the risks of his work in Sierra Leone?

turn 3 : Farmers in southern Appalachia feel the harm of a changing climate but are the last to talk about it.

turn 3 : to put something forward is to give an idea, they are giving ideas for climate change

turn 3 : The NAACP should form coalitions with other people of color


My pleasure, Scott.

Tell us about Don McGahn, if we could. He was the campaign's lawyer, right?

He was. He built a career here in Washington representing a lot of politicians on campaign finance and ethics issues. One of his more prominent clients was Tom DeLay, the former House majority leader, a Texan better known as The Hammer.

The Hammer.

turn 1 : Implied meaning: Please provide us with information about Don McGahn, as he was the campaign's lawyer, correct?

turn 1 : The interviewer should have asked about the misleading information provided by Mr. Warren about McCain's whereabouts.

turn 1 : Implied meaning: The speaker is hinting at something indirectly and expects the listener to read between the lines.

turn 1 : Implied meaning: The speaker may be subtly implying that they are not interested in continuing a conversation or that they would prefer to end the discussion.

turn 1 : Implied meaning: The speaker may be using nonverbal cues, such as facial expressions or body language, to convey a message that complements or contradicts their spoken words.


NPR's Sylvia Poggioli says the showdown speaks to deeper tensions between populists and liberals, tensions we've seen playing out across Europe. And Sylvia joins me now from Rome. Hey, there.

Hi, there.

So tell us exactly what has unfolded here. This all began back on June 12.

That's right. That's when the captain of the NGO ship Sea-Watch, 31-year-old Carola Rackete, and her crew rescued 53 migrants off the coast of Libya. They decided to head for the closest safe port, which is the Italian island of Lampedusa. But Italy's populist Interior Minister Matteo Salvini has introduced a controversial security decree that bans NGO migrant ships from entering Italian ports. He claims they essentially are in cahoots with human traffickers. But after two weeks on the high seas, the standoff continued.

And just to be clear, Sylvia, they were just circling in the waters out there for two weeks, trying to figure out what to do next.

turn 2 : They are trying to ask what happen in Europe

turn 2 : The chaos caused by Brexit has unified European citizens and strengthened their attachment to the EU.

turn 2 : The situation is uncertain and they need to take it one step at a time

turn 2 : It would be a mistake for me to do that.

turn 2 : just around the corner implies it is happening soon.


Qatar would like to improve its relationship with the U. S.  government, which has supported a Saudi-led economic blockade of the small Persian Gulf power. Qatar didn't just hire well-known K Street lobbyists and powerbrokers. It targeted people they believe President Trump listens to - a radio broadcaster, a real estate developer, a commentator and former presidential candidate - and gave them all-expense paid trips to Qatar and, usually, a consulting fee. Qatar's regime believed if it could win over people that President Trump listens to, he might change his mind. Now, that's according to a news story published in The Wall Street Journal by Julie Bykowicz, who joins us now. Thanks very much for being with us.

Thank you.

Tell us how this is done. You begin the story by talking about Alan Dershowitz, whose name doesn't usually come up when you're talking about Qatar.

Sure. He's not an elected official. He's not in the administration. But what Mr.  Dershowitz does bring to the table, at this point, that lobbyists have identified is President Trump really likes this guy. And so other lobbyists have picked up on this, and the two gentlemen that I interviewed for this Qatar story said they identified him as someone that could potentially be influential. What Alan Dershowitz is thinking, perhaps President Trump would begin thinking as well.

turn 0 : The lobbyists were successful in changing the conversation about Qatar and influencing the President's opinion.

turn 0 : Qatar believes that by winning over people that President Trump listens to, he might change his mind on supporting the Saudi-led economic blockade of Qatar.

turn 0 : In turn (2), the speaker questions the future of traditional journalism and whether there is an opportunity for novelists to fill the gap.

turn 0 : implies that the meeting was focused on discussing how to achieve party unity and defeat John McCain in November. However, the actual meaning could be that the meeting was a bargaining session where Obama and Clinton discussed potential terms for Clinton to drop out of the race and endorse Obama. This is not explicitly stated yet is a possible subtextual meaning.

turn 0 : Despite facing insults and criticism, the writer encourages others to have hope and support Barack Obama's presidential campaign.


Those same streaks are in Europe. We're seeing people who are rebelling against the European Union, the open market, the open borders, who are rebelling against migration and refugees and who have lost out or feel that they have lost out on globalization and trade and are now opposing trade. So the same phenomenon we see here in the United States you also see in Europe. And in that sense, we are having a crisis that really affects Western liberal democracies writ large.

I wonder what you'd say, Mr. Ambassador, to a citizen of Belgium or France who might say now a united Europe is just too bureaucratic and too centralized to protect its population.

Well, I think that is a sentiment you are hearing increasingly in places like Belgium and France that - the problem is that the threat is not just from without but it is also from within. Belgian citizens, people born in Belgium, blew up the metro station and airport, where French citizens born in France who blew up the concert hall and stadium in - last November.

That threat needs to be dealt with not only by the countries themselves but can more effectively be dealt with by the Europeans coming together, sharing intelligence, which is not what they're doing right now, protecting their external borders much better than they have been able to do, rather than each individually trying to deal with this challenge.

turn 0 : "address the growing inequality crisis" - Literal meaning: to deal with the issue of inequality that is becoming more severe. Actual meaning: to take measures to reduce the gap between the rich and poor and provide support for those who are struggling.

turn 0 : (1) has an implied meaning that is different from its literal meaning. The literal meaning is that the speaker is asking if there is any sign of improvement in the situation being discussed, but the implied meaning is that the situation is bad and the speaker is hoping for some positive news or indication that things will get better.

turn 0 : has a literal meaning of "Yes, the numbers aren't looking good for the person," but its actual meaning is "It looks like the person isn't likely to succeed."

turn 0 : "And in that sense, we are having a crisis that really affects Western liberal democracies writ large."  The actual meaning implied here is that the crisis being discussed is not limited to a specific country or region but has a broader impact on Western liberal democracies as a whole. It suggests that the crisis is significant and far-reaching.

turn 0 : "But well..." - This is an expression that doesn't have a literal meaning. It is an interjection that is often used to indicate hesitation, a change of subject, or a transition in conversation.


turn 1 : Europe wants to assert its independence from the US while risking consequences

turn 1 : The White House had no clear plan for the book and let the president handle it alone.

turn 1 : The president may be lying about not being informed

turn 1 : "I wonder what you'd say, Mr. Ambassador, to a citizen of Belgium or France who might say now a united Europe is just too bureaucratic and too centralized to protect its population."  The actual meaning implied here is that the citizen of Belgium or France believes that a united Europe, due to its bureaucratic and centralized nature, is unable to effectively safeguard its population. It suggests skepticism or doubt regarding the ability of a united Europe to fulfill its protective role.

turn 1 : White House conducts briefings in an inappropriate way.


turn 3 : There are some groups who see China as a threat, but not everyone agrees with this assessment.

turn 3 : This made the person have to stay where they were at.

turn 3 : The person is thinking of a particular person but they are not going to say who.

turn 3 : Although the speaker is trained, they may not have noticed the suspicious behavior of the suspects.

turn 3 : That threat needs to be dealt with not only by the countries themselves but can more effectively be dealt with by the Europeans coming together, sharing intelligence, which is not what they're doing right now, protecting their external borders much better than they have been able to do, rather than each individually trying to deal with this challenge."  The actual meaning implied here is that the threat mentioned should not be solely addressed by individual countries acting alone, but it would be more effective if European nations collaborate and work together. It suggests that collective action and cooperation among European countries are crucial for effectively combating the mentioned threat.


turn 3 : There is a concern that American lobbyists may sell secrets to foreign adversaries.

turn 3 :  friendly.the speaker is implying that they are trying to manipulate the personality of someone to make it more

turn 3 : they are just acknowledging the person's response

turn 3 : "sharing intelligence" and "protecting their external borders" - These are non-literal uses of "sharing" and "protecting" meaning "cooperating and exchanging information" and "strengthening border security," respectively, not literal physical actions.

turn 3 : People's avoidance made the speaker feel isolated and angry


And both the Republican, Mark Harris, and the Democrat, Dan McCready, have weighed in on these allegations. What have they said?

So McCready went first. He said on Thursday that Harris has bankrolled criminal activity. That's a reference to a Bladen County political operative who pushed people to vote absentee by mail and then allegedly illegally harvested their ballots.

Now wait. When you say harvested, that means, you know, picking them up, opening them and discarding the ones you don't want?

Well, not necessarily. It definitely means that he picked them up from voters, which is illegal in North Carolina. You know, in this state, once you - it's your mail ballot, and you're responsible for getting it to the mailbox or to the Board of Elections. So this operative kind of went and collected them. We don't know exactly what he did with them.

turn 1 : McCready accused Harris of funding criminal activity through a political operative.

turn 1 : McCabe faced intense questioning and scrutiny by Republicans.

turn 1 : Antimicrobial use, including antibiotics, can deplete microbiome diversity.

turn 1 : Many parts of the human body are colonized by bacteria.

turn 1 : There are unorthodox treatment ideas, such as infesting patients with worms, which may seem strange but have been found to be effective


turn 2 : It's implying that it resembles something old that was discarded and now returned.

turn 2 : Antimicrobial use, including antibiotics, can deplete microbiome diversity.

turn 2 : Even though the narrator already explained the word it is still needs a repeat as harvested means already gathered from the field.

turn 2 : Clinics and hospitals will have to integrate alternative medicine.

turn 2 : Many parts of the human body are colonized by bacteria.


She's going, this - you know, this mother, she can't leave her calf. We can't get her to go out. And - but you can't be trying to drag out a dead baby as well. Another friend had the exact opposite. The mother had died and the calf was alive and trying to work out how we can save this calf and get it out. And as you can imagine, that is - it's about as hard as it comes.

Oh, gosh. Mr.  Lamason, do we know why the whales do this?

We don't know. And there's a lot of theories around. But if you had to design a piece of landscape to capture whales, Golden Bay is pretty much perfect. It's a - quite a closed-in bay. It's got this large spit sweeping around, and the seabed out from there is very shallow for quite some kilometers. And there's a great chance that these whales were coming in here to feed and have made a poor choice about how close they can get in.

And is there anything human beings can or should do to try and help the whales?

turn 3 :  (3) Implies that there may be something that people can do to prevent the whales from stranding,

turn 3 : A suggests using anti-microbial and rehabilitation approaches to clear out bad bacteria and reinstate appropriate organisms.

turn 3 : Many parts of the human body are colonized by bacteria.

turn 3 : Antimicrobial use, including antibiotics, can deplete microbiome diversity.

turn 3 : The implied meaning of this turn is that is there any action humans can take to try to assist the stranded whales in their situation.


It's called a poor choice. On one innocent New Year's Eve in the early 1980s, I went to a party with all my friends. And justification, rationalization - everybody's doing it. I'm the only kid who's - just has a couple beers and is not doing coke. So you know what?I try it. And you know what happened?I'm not like everybody else. I liked it too damn much. And what it did was take away the split-second timing of being able to hit a major league fastball and to do the geometry that you need to do to run down ground balls and throw accurately. It just took a split second off me. And I had a 10-year career. But I would have been, in my opinion, an all-star-type player a couple years. And the morals - incredibly, the morals and values that my dad instilled in me made me a good cocaine user, so to speak.

I don't understand that at all. The morals your father instilled in you made you a good cocaine user.

Here's how. Here's how. I was never late for a game, never would think about playing a game on coke. I was raised too well to do that. I convinced myself that I was OK.

Painful as it is but also, I think, instructive to those of us who loved your father - could you tell us about the time when he called you up and said, get over here?And it was - your father and your brothers wanted to talk to you about all this.

turn 0 : The catcher played a crucial role in baseball games in the 1870s.

turn 0 : "It makes you consider your own brain, I suppose." - This turn is a figurative expression that means the speaker is reflecting on their own life and experiences in comparison to the circumstances of the individuals whose brains were taken.

turn 0 : In both of these turns, the implied meaning goes beyond the literal words used. The speaker is not simply asking about the reasons behind the human need to look at themselves or stating that it is innate and related to genetics. The implied meaning suggests a deeper exploration of human psychology and the significance of self-reflection as a part of our daily

turn 0 : Implied meaning: The speaker may be hinting at a deeper meaning or intention behind their words or actions, which requires further investigation or understanding to fully grasp.

turn 0 : not literally doing geometry math problems, but understanding how to play baseball using both brains and athleticism


turn 2 : My lows were not due to substance abuse.

turn 2 : playing a game on coke, not using the coke as a surface, but being high on drugs

turn 2 : He made a promise that was stressed by him and gave people the impression he would do it regardless of what happens.

turn 2 : He does not have many ways to solve the problems as of yet.

turn 2 : The people have seen what he is capable of and believe he posses the skills and abilities to win.


Yeah.

You know, everything. Frederick was called Frederick the Wise. This was a very learned man. And you think, well, wait, you know, how could he have really thought this was, you know, the - a strand of Jesus's hair or a piece of straw?And the answer is, I suspect he didn't in his heart of hearts, but his - the overriding theology, if you will, was I think he thought that if relics make people more pious, where's the harm?I'm attracted to that notion. If it - if belief in a, you know, a bone leads you to praying to be a better person - how quickly I descend into truism - where's the harm?

turn 0 : Did you ever consider dedicating your life to a religious

turn 0 :  (4) And that's where, in the age of social media, they may actually matter more because people are talking about this wipeout

turn 0 :  the post became popular because people started sharing and reposting it on social media and blogs.

turn 0 : 1)	B:	Am I wrong to see in this novel a theme that the relics we worship are often no more than making a choice among frauds? (2)	A:	You know, Frederick - he had 19,000 of these things. (3)	B:	Yeah. (4)	A:	You know, everything.Frederick was called Frederick the Wise.This was a very learned man.And you think, well, wait, you know, how could he have really thought this was, you know, the - a strand of Jesus's hair or a piece of straw?And the answer is, I suspect he didn't in his heart of hearts, but his - the overriding theology, if you will, was I think he thought that if relics make people more pious, where's the harm?I'm attracted to that notion.If it - if belief in a, you know, a bone leads you to praying to be a better person - how quickly I descend into truism - where's the harm?  Please choose the turns whose actual meanings are different from their literal meanings.   (1) Please choose a confidence score ( marks how confidence you are that there is implied meaning in this turn ) :   4 : You are not sure whether everybody will agree that this turn has implied meanings but you believe that most of them will Please write a implied meaning ( More than 8 words! ) :  Write reason here.

turn 0 : The video blog post was racist and offensive.


Yeah.

turn 1 : Did you ever consider dedicating your life to a religious

turn 1 : Although the literal meaning of this turn is simply an acknowledgement or agreement, the implied meaning behind it is that the speaker may not be fully engaged or interested in the conversation. It could be interpreted as a way of signaling disinterest or a desire to move on to a different topic.

turn 1 : The worship of relics may be based on false beliefs, but it can still be beneficial if it encourages people to be more pious.

But I'm sure that there's something else that you want to share with us. You have your poems about California, poems about the blues.

I've got one. The once called "Who I Am in Twilight. "And it's a poem that is actually emblazoned on the sidewalk. And it's set in stone, as it were, on something called "Poetry Walk" in Berkeley, California. They put down on sidewalk, Addison Street, about a hundred poets', I think, work. So it's fun to go over there and see how posterity works, because always somebody has dropped some pizza on it, mashed out a cigarette on it, or something like that.

So don't live for posterity, live for now. But here it is. "Who I am in Twilight. "

Like John Lee Hooker, like Lightnin' Hopkins, like the blues himself. The Trickster Sonnet, hoedown, the tango, the cante jondo. Like blessed spirituals and ragas, custom-made. Like sagas. Like stories. Like slick, slow, sly, soliloquies sliding into dramas. Like crime and punishment. Like death and birth. Canal Street, New Orleans. Like the easy, erasable, troubled voices a whirling ceiling fan makes in deep summer nights in hot, un-heavenly hotels. Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee. Like the Mississippi River so deep and wide, you couldn't get a letter to the other side. Like Grand Canyon. Like Yosemite National Park. Like beans and cornbread. Like rest and recreation. Like love and like. I know we last. I know our bleeding stops.

Well, I was there at the time and I didn't think that Ukraine would take off at all. The first problem was that there were no good economic thinkers at all in Ukraine. All the thinking was really done in Moscow. And the other part was political, that Ukraine came together through a coalition of Ukrainian nationalists in the West who wanted to have an independent state and the old corrupt nomenklatura who wanted to stay in power, and in effect they did.

Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians have been camping out in downtown Kiev, calling for change, more of a turn towards the West. What do you make of the protest movement when you have this agreement?Is it the kind of thing that in the West we might see and identify with and therefore maybe exaggerate the strength?

Well, what this is, is not about trade agreement - that's the lesser part. It's about European values. It's about democracy and rule of law. Ukrainians are tired of corruption and poor governance. They want to live as in Europe.

You wrote a book in 2009, "How Ukraine Became a Market Economy and Democracy. "

turn 2 : In this turn, the speaker is not just providing a straightforward answer to the question asked by the interviewer. Instead, they are using the opportunity to condemn the violent behavior of protesters and emphasize the importance of peaceful demonstrations. The implied meaning is that the government does have a policy for dealing with protesters, but the speaker is more interested in making a statement about the need for peaceful protest.

turn 2 : The actual meaning is different from its literal meaning. The speaker is saying that the protest movement in Ukraine is not just about a trade agreement with the West, but rather about the desire for European values, democracy, and the rule of law. The literal meaning would be that the protest movement is not solely focused on trade agreements.


turn 2 : They are trying to ask what happen in Europe

turn 2 : Turn (3) contains idiomatic expressions with non-literal meanings:  "Southern appeal" refers to the ability of a political candidate to win support in the South, rather than a literal physical attraction to the region.

turn 2 : "It's about European values.It's about democracy and rule of law.Ukrainians are tired of corruption and poor governance.They want to live as in Europe."

turn 2 : The speaker is implying that their protests might elevate beyond peaceful methods if they don't get what they think they deserve.

I had a very sobering experience last week. Michigan's Democratic governor was tapped to play the part of Sarah Palin in practice debates with Joe Biden. And while she was out of the state, I wrote a fantastic column whose premise was that Sarah Palin had arrived in Michigan, barged into the vacant governor's office, and decided to see what she could do to whip our mopey little state into shape.

Now, what I was not prepared for was the hundreds of readers who called the Free Press to ask, did the governor of Alaska really crash into the governor's office and take over the state for a day?And I spoke to one woman, and I said, ma'am, isn't this premise a little bit implausible?And she said, Mr.  Dickerson, a lot of what I see on the news doesn't make sense these days, but it all seems to be true.

And I think that's the level of confusion and shock and awe that's out there in our state these days. They really don't know which end is up.

Brian Dickerson is a political columnist for the Detroit Free Press, getting a lot of interesting phone calls and letters. Thank you very much.

turn 0 : The story was told to people and many became aware of it.

turn 0 : "they were shocked, stunned" implies they were surprised in a negative way.

turn 0 : The columnist's fictional premise was mistaken for a real event

turn 0 : Stunned and shocked means that they were surprised greatly by the information.

turn 0 : The turn whose actual meaning is different from its literal meaning is (3) where the interviewer asks the French Ambassador how frustrating the last few months were for him.


Well, all I can tell you is this. When I asked Commissioner Davis that question, he didn't hang up on me. He said the answer that I gave - that I reported - he said absolutely. It's possible that just the feeling that we're over the hump, that we're through this. I mean, it's human nature. You've watched events. They get there early. They're on high alert all the time. Plus, in this particular case, the bomb-sniffing dogs had gone through twice, once in the morning and an hour before the explosions have gone off.

So there was a feeling, there was a reason to feel basically secure that at time. It turned out not, you know, the security was - sense of security was misplaced. But again, I don't think it's an insult at all to what the response and, you know, the courage and all of that happened afterwards to rethink, and, you know, again, to use an overused term, connect the dots about how things were set up, were they followed out as they should've been.

Joan Vennochi, thanks very much for your time today. Appreciate it.

Thank you.

turn 1 : It's not an insult to think about what has happened again and to make sense of it and see where things were related to each other.

turn 1 : In turn (4), the literal meaning is that North Korea's nuclear capabilities are something to be reckoned with and the speaker is asking why we shouldn't be concerned about this one move. However, the actual meaning is that the speaker is asking for an explanation as to why the reassembling of the site should not be a cause for concern, despite the fact that North Korea's nuclear capabilities are usually considered a threat.

turn 1 : The actual meaning of the third turn is that the speaker is implying that the current administration is trying to prevent important information from being released, and this is why they are pushing people to contact them with information.


You know, let's just take a look at Los Angeles' demographics. You have people from incredibly wealthy to incredibly poor. You have immigrants, native-born people who've come here from other parts of the U. S. , people, of course, who were born here. How do you think L. A. 's demographics affect the need for public transportation?

Well, clearly there is a very serious need here in the region. We are very geographically dispersed in other words. We have suburbs that extend for miles in every direction. So the need for a broad-based transportation system that depends on a lot of bus service is particularly important in our region. Here in the downtown area, we do have a more extensive rail network that starts in the downtown region and then extends outwards.

But again, that's only the metro services. There are also Metrolink services and Amtrak services that serve more of the Southern California region. So there are lots of transportation choices here, and it would do people that are trying to save money well to look into these services.

Finally, is the federal government supporting the system at all?

turn 0 : to wrestle in this context means an event happened that is hard to get through

Well, let me give you an example. I walked up to some lawmakers in the Great Hall of the People. And they confirmed to me unanimously that they were going to vote in favor of scrapping term limits. And one thing you hear from a lot of Chinese when you ask them is that they say, look. President Xi Jinping is doing a great job. He's getting China lots of respect on the world stage. He's cleaning up corruption at home. He ought to be given a chance to do more. And also, I think it helps to remember that in Chinese political culture, it's basically been the rule of man. And so people feel, let's get a good man, and let's not worry about, if we don't get a good man, what rules are we going to rely on to give him the boot?

You mentioned critics. And there are critics. What are they saying about this?

Well, you don't hear a lot of them because their views are often censored on the Internet. But I think it's safe to say that they feel very gloomy and pessimistic about the current situation. They look into the future - say 10, 15 or even more years - and they just don't see a lot hope for civil liberties, transparent and accountable government or robust civil society. And they just feel that this is a real historic step backwards into the bad, old days.

The bad, old days being China's monarchs of thousands of years?

turn 0 : Xi Jinping wants to appear as a strong leader who fights against China's biggest rival

turn 0 : "You can almost pick it up and put it in any city around the world and it would become synonymous with that city." - This turn means that tall buildings are often designed in a similar way regardless of their location, and therefore lack a unique connection to the specific environment or culture of a place.

turn 0 : when something is front and center in this context it means its out in the open, or some type of problem everyone notices

turn 0 : 1: Chinese people prioritize having a good leader over having a leader who follows rules.

turn 0 : Literally, the turn means that the Absolute Towers are unique because they are curvy and organic, and also serve a purpose. However, the implied meaning is that most tall buildings are not designed with both aesthetics and functionality in mind, whereas the Absolute Towers manage to achieve both.


Absolutely, and we just can't have that. . .

I will just tell you that now. . .

That'd be a security issue. Boy, talking about being slam-dunked after he dunked on the president.

Please don't do that.

turn 2 : 1).  In this context, "slam dunk" is not referring to a basketball move, but rather an expression meaning that something is certain or easy. The speaker is using it to convey their confidence in their statement.

turn 2 :  The turn contains multiple layers of meaning, including both explicit and implicit information, and its true significance can only be fully understood through careful analysis of its context and subtext.

Yeah, the tuna fish sandwiches, you write, she put pickle juice in them, you know, just gave it something a little bit different.

And to stretch it out as well, and that's the way I make it. My daughter loves it. That was my first experience of food, but I have great memories of the stuff I love that she made.

turn 3 :  B: "The big character though in this book, overarching, I think, everything, at least in the beginning, is a - is South Boston, Southie. It seems to be a fundamental part of who you are. Tell us about Southie."  The literal meaning of B's words is that the setting of the book is South Boston, and that this is an important part of the story. However, the implied meaning is that the setting is more than just a location, but rather a character in its own right, with its own personality and influence on the other characters.

turn 3 : Implies that the sanctions put in place by the UN Security Council and the US government are more of the same and not necessarily new or different in any meaningful way.


Well, it's just so different as to be almost unrecognizable to everything else they ever do. Well, first of all, there are over 4,000 credentialed members of the media. I have met many of these people, and I question their credentials. (Soundbite of laughter) But aside from the crush and the demands on their time, it is a weird travel schedule.

For a regular game, there is usually a week between games in the NFL. And a team will arrive in the visiting team's city usually, maybe, a day before the game. Here they arrive almost a week before the game. And that is just to accommodate the fact that the Super Bowl is this huge corporate affair, this huge media affair. So it's interviews and a little bit of practice, and interviews and a little bit of practice. And if a team losses focus, it could really hurt them come Sunday.

It sounds like a pretty intense week. Now, let's say I were a betting woman. Does this kind of hectic schedule favor one team over the other?

Well, you know, even if you weren't a betting woman, even if you were someone with, you know, who lives and dies with the Steelers or who bleeds Cardinals Burgundy - I think there probably are people like that - you might say that the Pittsburgh Steelers might have the edge, because in general, they are the more experienced team, having been to and won a Super Bowl just three years ago.

turn 0 : They thought he was a joke or not a serious person

turn 0 : Having it to compared music as poetry and music has the heartstrings of everyone listening to the melodies of the instrument and words.

turn 0 : Why do you think people relate to music as a way of understanding and humanizing other people? What is it about music that's so special?"

turn 0 : The music in the beginning sounded like rap to me, which is a form of music that has a strong focus on rhythm and poetic lyrics.

turn 0 : The comment about questioning their credentials is a joke. 'A' is just joking that some non-reporters are obtaining journalist credentials to see the game for free.


turn 3 : "Lives and dies" and "bleeds Burgundy" are not literal. They just refer to someone being a huge fan of the team.

turn 3 : Bad blood is not literally being lit up or ignited. The implied meaning is that the players and owners are not agreeing on the issue at hand and therefore tensions are arising.

turn 3 : Asking about musical influences, not comparing the album to other artists

turn 3 : The music in the beginning sounded like rap to me, which is a form of music that has a strong focus on rhythm and poetic lyrics.

And as you mentioned, people are nervous. And as you mentioned, people are nervous. And as you mentioned, people are nervous.

turn 0 : THe aftershocks means that there are tremors after the main earthquake that take people by surprise.

turn 0 : Repeating the word "aftershock" implies aftershocks were coming frequently and multiple times.

I think everything that I do and I try to do in my life is to thank them because they do so much for me on a daily. And I just want to show them how grateful I am because I truly am grateful. It's, like, a lot of sacrifices going to my quince. A lot of things had to get put on hold. And to be able to, like, have that quince and to be able to do all that - I just wanted to be as thankful as I could during the whole process. And I live for them, basically. Everything I do for them is, like, a hundred percent, kind of.

Matt, this topic was new to you. What did you learn about Latino culture?

O'NEILL: There's so many different facets of a quinceanera, from the baile sorpresa, the surprise dance, to the last doll, to the replacing of the heels - you know, the - giving the first gift of heels. And all those details I hadn't known about quinceaneras or this aspect of Latino culture. But I think the thing that became most clear is that at the core of these ceremonies is familial love, and that's what you see celebrated in each of the four films. And it's a universal aspect of human life. And Latino, Irish, every culture pours so much into their children, and that's what you see through these quinceaneras.

Rosi Alvarez is featured in the new HBO series "A Quinceanera Story" directed by filmmaker Matt O'Neil. Thanks to you both for sharing this project.

turn 2 : A wants to celebrate their shared experiences as women and people of color.

turn 2 : The situation with the US and Iran is concerning for Europeans


Yeah. You know, it's a great question. I think that the core of the problem is that they say that they pursue these weapons out of insecurity. So the logical thing is can the world provide them some sort of security?And in past agreements that I have participated in, we provided them security guarantees and offered to negotiate a peace treaty with them. The problem is I think the security - insecurity that they feel is generated by the regime itself. You know, these sorts of totalitarian regimes never feel secure. And that's the core problem.

Because there's mass starvation. There's mass poverty. There's mass oppression.

Right. And that they - all those things, and that they don't rule by the consent of the legitimacy of the people. And that's the basic problem.

Yeah. China has a role in this?

turn 0 : "The problem is I think the security - insecurity that they feel is generated by the regime itself."  In this turn, the actual meaning goes beyond the literal meaning of the words. The speaker is implying that the regime intentionally creates an atmosphere of insecurity in order to maintain control over its population.

turn 0 : The literal meaning of turn (1) is a request for information about the options available to the United States at present. The implied meaning, however, is that the speaker is concerned about the situation in Syria and is looking for possible courses of action that the United States could take to address the root cause of the humanitarian crisis there. The speaker believes that the Assad regime's practice of shelling populated areas not under its control is the main driver behind the crisis and that this should be the focus of the United States' response.

turn 0 : The housing market bubble will burst and we hope for a gradual decline.

turn 0 : The housing bill implies mortgage rate shouldn't emburden anyone.

turn 0 : In turn (1), when the speaker says, "Was impelled by government programs that said to people, every American should be in a home," the literal meaning is that government programs encouraged homeownership. However, the implied meaning is that these programs were promoting homeownership to an extent that was beyond what was sustainable or responsible, which ultimately led to a housing bubble and the 2008 financial crisis. The turn implies that the government's encouragement of homeownership was misguided and had negative consequences, which is a departure from the literal meaning of the words used in the turn.


Yeah. China has a role in this?

turn 1 : B: "the problem" refers to the negative effects of globalization, which may include job losses, cultural homogenization, and environmental degradation. The protesters are not necessarily saying that globalization is a problem in and of itself, but rather that the way it has been implemented has been harmful to many people and the planet.

turn 1 : The actual meaning was differ from the original meaning that is the right answer

turn 1 : There's mass starvation. There's mass poverty. There's mass oppression."  Here, the speaker is not simply stating the literal existence of these problems but implying that these issues are widespread and pervasive, affecting a large number of people in a significant manner.

turn 1 : Literally, this turn is a short response to A's previous statement about the time-lapse videos of human development. However, the implied meaning is that B understands and acknowledges A's previous statement about the videos featuring embryos, and is simply reiterating that fact.

turn 1 : (3) is a sign of amusement, indicating the speaker was laughing at the metaphor.


Yeah. China has a role in this?

turn 3 : going to be fruitful implies that it will be successful, the goals achieved and not referring to fruits from the trees

turn 3 : The story is emotional and difficult to hear.

turn 3 : It is not that is something to be tasted. It is something people don't like to hear about.

turn 3 : "China has a role in this?"  The actual meaning of this turn goes beyond the literal question. The speaker is implying that China may have some level of involvement or influence in the situation being discussed, suggesting a potential factor that contributes to the problem.


Yes, there was a peace agreement. But the big part of the peace agreement was that there is no border between Ireland and Northern Island. And that was possible because both Great Britain and Ireland are within the EU.

Can Britain get what they call a soft exit, or are there too many hard feelings for that?

I think on the EU side, there is a lot of willingness to have the soft Brexit. There's not much willingness among the hard Brexiteers to have a soft Brexit because a soft Brexit means that you stay within the customs union. The customs union means that you export and import goods freely. But if you stay within the customs union, you keep the same standards and the same rule book.

This sounds like an awful mess.

turn 0 : The agreement will cause things to come to a halt with no further changes.

turn 0 : The weak jobs numbers highlight the dangers of more trade war.

turn 0 : The dominance of the dollar gives the US considerable power in international trade.

turn 0 : The peace agreement has a condition where there is no border between Ireland and Northern Island.

turn 0 : The countries formed their own blocs due to military and strategic considerations, not just trade.


Actually, before, I was charging 155. And since the economy has gotten bad, I don't want to take advantage of people. So, I've just felt to lower my prices to make it better for everyone, and it's 125, and it's an hour session, and I do phone or in-person readings. I'm in New York. So, if anyone is in New York, I can do an in-person reading or over the phone.

And you say you channel. What does that mean?What's your technique?

My technique is, I work with guides on the other side and angels who work through me. So, I never say that the information is from me. It's coming from a higher source. And these things are connected to the person, so they really know the person better than they know themselves. And they know what they need to hear or that they want to hear that is best for them to help their soul to live the life that is best for their soul, basically.

Hmm. With all due respect to you and your profession, couldn't someone just be extremely well informed by reading the newspapers, listening to NPR, for example, and figuring out which way the economic winds are blowing and then make predictions and offer advice based on that?

turn 0 : When you hand out money quickly with no regulations people will spend it on things that are not needed.

turn 0 : charging implies money levied for service and not charging battery level

turn 0 : "Oh, wow." - This turn's actual meaning is different from its literal meaning. In this context, it is used sarcastically to express disbelief or surprise.

turn 0 : (4) is the same as its literal meaning, which is a brief acknowledgement of what was just said.

turn 0 : "going to be bright and in people's faces" - This is a figurative expression that means the light will be very intense and noticeable.


You know, you have to be tough. You have to let them know that, you know, although, yeah, I'm a female, you know, I can punch you in the eye if I have to. Or turn the table over. . .

Or just be as tough as men have to do in certain - have to be in certain situations, so that they can erase the fact that I am a girl and reallylook at me as a professional who is knowledgeable about what I do and can do the deals and deliver. So. . .

Sonia, what about the live music scene?Because I remember going to some hip-hop clubs. I was - you know, this was back when I was much a younger woman, and really enjoying it until some of the violence got out of control. And then I stopped going to some of the venues because too many people were getting shot. How are things here in terms of the live venues?Are they safe?Are they - you know, how is the live music scene doing?

It is so interesting that you would bring that up today because just last night, there were three events that were happening last night. It was R&B Live over at the Lucky Street Lounge. They had Mario, and Marsha from Floetry. There was Estelle over at Sugarhill, that John Legend was presenting, great venues both of them.

And he's been the finance guy. We just don't know that yet. But I think, you know, if it turns out that he is cooperating or does get fuller immunity, he really could turn out to be an enormously important part of this investigation.

After Michael Cohen pleaded guilty and implicated the president, we saw a tweet from President - in an interview, Trump said flipping almost ought to be illegal. Fair to say that the cases couldn't be made without getting people to flip?

Absolutely. I mean, there's no question. And we often see people who are convicted of crimes where there are cooperators - say, you know, you shouldn't be allowed to do this. That itself should be a crime. But the reality is that in order to prove a lot of cases, particularly very serious cases, we need to have someone who's in the room when all the action happens, when the crime happens or who's involved in transactions or murders or whatever who can tell the story. And so it's essential to have that voice.

turn 2 : Flip a lot of individuals does not actually mean they are physically doing a flip.

turn 2 : Despite being a simple and cheap meal, ful is delicious and irresistible

turn 2 : The book contains more than just recipes - it is also a way to gain insight into and appreciate the culture and history of the cuisine.

turn 2 : The speaker is emphasizing the importance of developing a skillful touch when baking, which can only be achieved through consistent practice.


Burnt hair, desiccated strawberry, armpit, you know (laughter).

Very precise and unusual.

And there's also this new trajectory to incorporate the language of science. So instead of saying that something smells like green bell pepper, sommeliers are now describing it as smelling of pyrazines, which, by the way, is a chemical that is present in both sauvignon blanc and cabernet sauvignon grapes and in green bell peppers. So don't always roll your eyes at the sommelier.

I don't roll my eyes at the sommelier. I've actually always been intimidated by interacting with the sommelier. I wanted to ask you if you would take a moment to sort of teach someone like me. Can you walk me through it?

A lot of us, when we're given the wine list, treat it as a multiple-choice test. We're handed this list of a hundred options. And we have until the sommelier circles back to us to figure out the right answer.

Exactly.

turn 2 : In this turn, the literal meaning of "incorporate the language of science" would imply using scientific terminology to describe wine aromas. However, the actual meaning is that sommeliers are adopting a more scientific approach to describing aromas by referring to specific chemicals present in the wine or food.

turn 2 :  where the speaker uses words that are not typically associated with wine tasting, such as "burnt hair," "desiccated strawberry," and "armpit," to describe the taste of wine. The implied meaning is that sommeliers use highly imaginative and unconventional ways to describe the taste of wine, which may not be easily understandable to the average person.

turn 2 : you don't really know that much about this.

turn 2 : It's best to be receptive to any thought that comes your way.

turn 2 : Having the right connections, personality and know-how is essential for success.

The implied meaning is that sommeliers use highly imaginative and unconventional ways to describe the taste of wine, which may not be easily understandable to the average person.

turn 4 : B is referring to the Hurricane Katrina catastrophe in New Orleans and it aftermaths.

turn 4 : The situation is so dangerous that people who refuse to evacuate should identify themselves in case of death.

turn 4 : In this turn, the literal meaning of "treat it as a multiple-choice test" would imply approaching the wine list in a structured and exam-like manner. The actual meaning, however, is that people often feel pressured to choose the "correct" wine option from a large list and may feel uncertain about their selection until the sommelier returns for their order.

turn 4 : The decision to stay was based on financial and personal concerns, not just the evacuation order.


When you say muscle through an agenda, the implication is they've got to twist arms in their own party?

Well, I think the Republican Party is going through change. The more populous, working-class element of the Republican Party is on the ascent. And the tectonic plates within both parties, frankly, are changing as both parties are becoming more tribalized. As you see on the Democratic side, Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders have a significant and outsized voice in their party just as the House Freedom Caucus and the more populous, working-class wing on the Republican side have an outsized voice.

Ken Spain was managing director of communications at Koch Industries. He's now a partner at the CGCN consultant group. Thanks so much for being with us.

Thank you for having me.

turn 0 : The literal meaning of the first turn is that the speaker is asking the other person to explain what they mean by the phrase "muscle through an agenda". The implication, however, is that the speaker is suggesting that the people in their own party must use coercion (twisting arms) to get their agenda passed.

turn 0 : The implied meaning of turn (1) is that engaging in strenuous exercise leads to changes in DNA that enable the production of specific proteins necessary for muscle growth and metabolism. It implies that the process of muscle growth involves more than just physical strain.

turn 0 : B disagrees with the premise of the question but is willing to discuss it further.

turn 0 : A is jokingly referencing the title of B's book

turn 0 : A is not fully agreeing with B's statement

turn 3 : News coverage can cause people to pay more attention to things that were happening anyway.


(Laughing) And the cover of the New York Post a couple days ago, "Don't Let the Door Hit You. "

Yeah. So sensitive is the New York Post. This was a guy whose first year, his nickname was the Man-genius, and that quickly came undone.

Devolved. OK, but what about Mike Shanahan of the Denver Broncos?I mean, he was there for 14 years. He won two Super Bowls. Why was he let go?

It's amazing. For about 10 years, you couldn't say the name Mike Shanahan without saying offensive genius. And I don't know if a lot of people thought that he lost the offensive genius, but there were circumstances to his firing. His team lost its last three games. If you end the season . 500, you know, with eight wins and eight loses, it's better to do it on an uptick than a downtick.

turn 1 : The person was not on fire but he was playing very well and getting a lot of fame and jobs because of this.

turn 1 : Mike Shanahan was fired despite his past success due to recent poor performance.

Add to the troubled auto industry a rise in unemployment. Weekly jobless claims benefits are at 16-year high. Wall Street isn't happy either. The Dow Jones Index plummeted below 8,000 yesterday.

To find out how advertising agencies are dealing with the current economic climate, we are joined now by Romi Mahajan. He's the chief marketing officer for the digital ad agency called Ascentium. They manage marketing campaigns for big, big companies, including Microsoft, Nintendo, and AT&T. Welcome to the program, Romi.

Thank you very much, Alex.

Yesterday, General Motors announced that it would review its contracts with ad agencies to see whether or not they should even be renewed. Let's say you were working on a car company advertising campaign. What should they do to actually get American consumers to buy cars?

turn 0 : The speaker tried to protect themselves from danger.

turn 0 : Obama wants to be seen as the voice of the people.


I think it had to because of the workers and the communities where you had all of these plants. But because it became a 60-percent owner - the U. S.  government owns 60 percent of General Motors as a result of the bankruptcy - they could have straightened that company out, but they were completely hands-off with the post-bankruptcy management. In retrospect, they had to save General Motors. But they could've laid down tougher conditions.

What do you think about when you see some of the accounts in recent weeks about General Motors concealing what seems to have been a major problem which led to injury and death?

Eternal vigilance of the regulator is required. And the auto safety agency fell down on the job. It's just that simple. I think now we're going to get stronger legislation as a result of the GM debacle. A lot of good will come from it, unfortunately because of these fatalities.

Ralph Nader. His new book "Unstoppable: The Emerging Left-Right Alliance To Dismantle The Corporate State. "Thanks so much for being with us.

That work by Nick Holonyak and colleagues went on to be the basis for just about every LED starting back - staring back at you, you know, those little red lights on the little devices?This was the first one. Nick also did pioneering work on other electronic devices, including lasers. And when the Applied - the journal of Applied Physics Letters drew up a list of the five most important papers it had published up to 2006, Nick's name was on two of them. And he's here to talk to us now.

Nick Holonyak is the John Bardeen Endowed Chair in Electrical and Computer Engineering and Physics in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Illinois in Urbana, Illinois. He joins us by phone. Welcome back to the program, Nick.

Thanks, Ira. You and I talked about this stuff in Washington when the MIT Lemelson Prize was given. Remember?And so this is our second contact, maybe more.

I'm hopeful we have a lot more to go, and I want you to - let's talk about this 50 - the anniversary.

So Gaspasr got a no. Can you talk about why?What was the reasoning?

Sure. So the applicant's explanation for Gaspasr - they explained that, I am a nurse anesthetist, which would make sense. They use gas. But the DMV commented gas passer. She passes gas - in parentheses - farts.

Ah, OK. So someone decided they weren't buying it. Are there things that they police for, like, hate speech or racism?I mean, how does that work?

Totally, yeah. Unfortunately, they do get a lot of submissions that at least could be interpreted as hate speech, as offensive to certain groups. They try to filter out things that could be seen as maybe references to white supremacy. For instance, the number 88 - in any context, even if it's benign, even if it's completely harmless, they always consistently block out the number 88 because it has a certain symbolism for white supremacy.

turn 1 : (2) Implied meaning: The specialist personnel needed to battle the fires are in high demand and these personnel include aviation specialists and fire-behavior-type specialists.

turn 1 : to look for something in this context means they are trying to see if something will happen

turn 1 :  A: "She passes gas - in parentheses - farts." - The literal meaning is that the applicant is a nurse anesthetist who uses gas to sedate patients. The actual meaning is that the DMV misunderstood the term "gas passer" and interpreted it as a reference to flatulence.

turn 1 : has a literal meaning of "Yes, the numbers aren't looking good for the person," but its actual meaning is "It looks like the person isn't likely to succeed."


A clever grounds crew can mean a difference in close games, can't it?

Oh, definitely. Well a grounds crew can tailor the field in very small ways that might impact the outcome of the game. You know, gone are the days of legendary Kansas City groundskeeper George Toma and his ilk - the (unintelligible). They really would tailor the fields in unbelievable ways. They would tilt the foul lines in a certain way so that bunts wouldn't roll foul. They were harden the turf to make it more difficult for players to slide if they didn't want the opposing team to slide.

Nowadays, uniformity is really something that is mandated by Major League Baseball. But there are still small ways. I visited with Trevor Vance, who's the head groundskeeper for the Kansas City Royals. And this was during 2015 - the year they would ultimately win the World Series. And he talked about how he made the infield play very fast - you know, shorter grass - because they had young, athletic infielders. And they felt that that was an advantage for them because they knew that their guys could get to the ball. And the other team probably couldn't.

There's so much joy in your book. But I have to ask, are there bad memories, if not ghosts, at the New Orleans Superdome?

turn 0 : Implied meaning: The speaker may be expressing frustration or dissatisfaction with their current experiences using crowdsourcing platforms like AMT and is looking for ways to improve their outcomes.

turn 0 : Implied meaning: The speaker is indirectly suggesting that they may have information or opinions that they are hesitant to share openly.

turn 0 : Implied meaning: The speaker might be implying a hidden agenda or ulterior motive behind their words, actions, or decisions, without making it explicit.

turn 0 : Implied meaning: The speaker is making a subtle suggestion or insinuation that others may pick up on, but without being too direct or forceful.


turn 2 : Implied meaning: The speaker may be indirectly suggesting that they have insider knowledge or expertise on a particular topic, and that their opinion or perspective should be given special consideration.

turn 2 : People who usually would vote for the Republican candidate are considering voting for Hillary Clinton instead.

turn 2 : The media does not have as much influence over voters as people might think.

turn 2 : People make their own decisions when it comes to voting and are not influenced by the media as much as one might think.


Well - and I think I'll compete by getting out there, by talking to folks like I always do. I think I've also done more on sort of the original sin of where we are in a post-Citizens United world, getting rid of dark money and the outside influences of dollars. When laws are literally written now to make donors happy, we've got a problem.

We do know that voters are very concerned about health care. We certainly saw that in the midterm elections. And you recently expanded Medicaid in your state - something that you've just mentioned.

We got it reauthorized, yeah.

But you haven't publicly supported single-payer health care. That seems to be a very popular position in the Democratic Party now, along with the Green New Deal. What is your position on single-payer and the Green New Deal?

You bet. You bet. First, starting, like, everyone should have access to health care. And it should be affordable. And that is what I've been working on in Montana, both through Medicaid expansion, through high-risk pools, through other things. And I think that you can get to universal accessibility and affordability in a way that isn't necessarily Medicare for all because you'd be disrupting - I don't know - 155 million people that have employer-sponsored health care. You do it by having a public option, no Medicare buy-in. It's about time when we can negotiate prescription drug prices with the biggest payer, which is Medicare. But it's that corrupting dollars that keep us out of that.

turn 4 : "It saved people on Medicare more than $23 billion." This turn is not meant to be taken literally, as "saving" here means that the Affordable Care Act reduced the amount of money that people on Medicare had to pay for prescription drugs, rather than physically saving money.

turn 4 : "You do it by having a public option, no Medicare buy-in." - The phrase "you do it" here means "the solution is to," and does not refer to a physical act of doing something.

turn 4 : McCain campaign is facing a difficult challenge from Obama

turn 4 : Senator McCain's demographic characteristics were compared to Senator Obama and Senator Clinton.

turn 4 : John McCain is facing political isolation and uncertainty in the Senate


Waiting for the winds to drop down below 50 - sustained winds drop below 50. And at that time we send out all of our first respondents of police, fire, EMS, and our utility companies. Everybody goes out and does damage assessment report in their areas. Report it back to us. We make a priority listing, so we can get power back on if we lost any power. Get the resources back and so we can just bring our people back.

But the winds are above 50 miles an hour, now. So, you don't have anybody out right now?Every body's just hunkered down.

Ninety nine percent of our people are hunkered down. We have a few of our - like the sheriff, he is out, and a few other higher ranking agency people are out, but most - 99 percent of our people are hunkered down in shelters.

So, how long do you really expect that that's going to last?

turn 1 : to move in direction in this context means to change something

turn 1 : Emergency responders are not currently out due to high winds.

turn 1 : to carry something out means to do something


Absolutely not. In fact, the people of my state should know we are doing everything in our power to defend them. If it comes to a legal fight with the Trump administration, we're prepared to have it. I've had some experience with taking on the Trump administration litigation. We have yet to lose a case yet, and I don't plan on starting with this issue.

Attorney General Bob Ferguson of Washington state, thanks so much.

Oh, thank you, Scott. Have a great day.

Oh, thank you, Scott. Have a great day.

turn 1 : The turn whose actual meaning is different from its literal meaning is (4): "A: Thank you."  The literal meaning of "Thank you" is an expression of gratitude or appreciation.

turn 2 : (3) A: Oh, thank you, Scott.Have a great day.
