奧利弗說，執事靈上的奇異想法看到Siri的，馬喬裡-泰勒，阿綠已經談過安迪在Facebook上喜歡的是長在奇異。

But amongst those talking about school shootings and 9 11 being faked, this sounds that extraordinary and particularly egregious.

但在那些談論校園槍擊案和9 11事件是偽造的人中，這聽起來是那樣的非同尋常，特別令人震驚。

Well, yes, and it really shows also, if you look at how the Republican Party response to her, then how the rift is in the Republican Party right now, because it really depends to whom you speak there.

嗯，是的，它真的也顯示，如果你看看共和黨對她的反應，那麼共和黨現在的裂痕是如何的，因為這真的取決於你在那裡對誰說話。

There were some 11 House Republicans who voted to remove her, but then you have this other Republican party, which is rather on the radical Mawr extreme side, Of course, following all this rhetoric off the last four years of President Trump's, uh, term and they are cheering for her, of course, and she also is very supportive of Donald Trump and the most important aspect perhaps, is that she still has the support off the party leadership.

有11名眾議院共和黨人投票決定罷免她，但你有另一個共和黨，這是相當在激進的Mawr極端的一面，當然，跟隨所有這些言論關閉特朗普總統的最後四年，呃，任期和他們為她歡呼，當然，她也是非常支持唐納德-特朗普和最重要的方面，也許，是她仍然有支持關閉黨的領導。

The Republican leader in the House of representative Kevin McCarthy is still defending her.

眾議院的共和黨領袖凱文-麥卡錫仍在為她辯護。

Okay, so this is going to be a big problem, for Republicans are going forward, is it?

好吧，所以這將是一個大問題， 對於共和黨人是前進，是嗎？

It's It's how they remain sort of true to traditional conservatives and while also accommodating the conspiracy theorists and the semi Racists and the insurrectionists who flocked to them because of Donald Trump.

這就是他們如何保持那種真實的傳統保守派，同時也容納了陰謀論者和半種族主義者以及因為唐納德-特朗普而湧向他們的起義者。

Absolutely, yes.

當然，是的。

And this is basically one of the core questions that we're looking at right now.

而這基本上是我們現在正在研究的核心問題之一。

When it comes to the future of the Republican Party, the big question will be how will the Republican Party be able to move forward right now?

談到共和黨的未來，最大的問題將是共和黨現在如何前進？

You can see with this with this Republican congresswoman in particular, that the party is very much divided and that there are two essentially two sides that cannot come to terms how to move on.

尤其是這位共和黨的女議員，你可以看到，黨內的分歧非常大，基本上有兩方無法達成共識，如何繼續前進。

Should they rather stick with Donald Trump?

他們是否應該寧可堅持唐納德-特朗普？

Should they stick with conspiracy theories, or should they move on and embrace old democratic values?

And this is going to be very interesting to watch in the next weeks and months and years to come?

在接下來的幾周、幾個月和幾年裡，這將是非常有趣的看點?

Okay, so the vote that we're talking about that happened on Thursday.

好吧，所以我們所說的投票是在週四發生的。

This was to remove Marjorie Taylor Green from a couple of a House Committee's eh?

這是要把馬喬裡-泰勒-格林從眾議院委員會的幾個委員會中除名？

So what is the significance of these sanctions?

那麼，這些制裁的意義何在呢？

Well, it's a very significant move by the Democrats, in particular, because the Democrats want to make clear here that they do not tolerate if Congress people are in such important positions in such important assignments.

好吧，這是民主黨的一個非常重要的舉動，特別是，因為民主黨想在這裡明確表示，他們不能容忍如果國會的人在如此重要的崗位上擔任如此重要的任務。

So they wanted to make clear they don't accept this.

所以他們想明確表示不接受這個。

Onda make a signal also, so it's a symbolic move.

翁達也做了一個信號，所以這是一個象徵性的動作。

But it's also move for the records because it essentially shows very well where each individual Republican Congress person stands.

但這也是動之以情，曉之以理，因為它基本上很好地表明瞭每個共和黨國會人士的立場。

So who supports her and who doesn't?

那麼誰支持她，誰不支持她呢？

And that became very clear in this vote here.

而這一點在這次投票中變得非常明顯。

Okay, and further significance off this particular vote in as much as we would normally expect the Republican Party to deal with membership with their members on their committees.

好吧，和進一步的意義 關閉這個特定的投票 在儘可能多的，因為我們通常會期望 共和黨處理成員 與他們的成員在他們的委員會。

But the Democrats took this out of their hands.

但民主黨人把這一切從他們手中奪走了。

Yeah, that's exactly right.

是的，這是完全正確的。

And again, I mean, we have this divided party right now that we're looking at on Dove course.

再說一遍，我的意思是，我們有這個分裂的黨，現在，我們正在尋找在鴿子課程。

Uh, the Democrats took it out of their hands.

呃，民主黨人把它從他們手中奪走了。

This is unprecedented.

這是前所未有的。

So there has been some criticism also by the Republican Party there afraid, of course, that this could be turned into a political weapon to remove any kind off, uh, person that you do not like on the other side of the political aisle, of course.

所以共和黨也提出了一些責備，當然，他們害怕這可能會被變成一種政治武器，來清除任何一種，呃，你不喜歡的人，在政治過道的另一邊，當然。

But then again, the Democrats say that they want Thio, follow their principles and fight thes wrong informations and and conspiracy theories like Q and on and all of such that we've heard of the last years.

但話又說回來，民主黨人說，他們希望Thio，遵循他們的原則和打擊錯誤的資訊和陰謀論，如Q和上和所有這樣的，我們已經聽到的過去幾年。

Eso Basically, this is the stance that the Democrats have here, and that's exactly what they have put forward.

埃索基本上，這就是民主黨在這裡的立場，這正是他們提出的。

All right, thank you for that.

好吧，謝謝你。
