From Trump’s Speech to Israel-Gaza: The Politics of Language
As grief and anger cascade across Israel and Gaza, language can be weaponized to polarize, spread propaganda or advance agendas. And it doesn't stop there. From the radical speeches of Donald Trump to the extreme rhetoric of Russia, language plays an often dangerous role in politics. Yale philosophy professor Jason Stanley joins Hari Sreenivasan to discuss his new book, "The Politics of Langauge."
