Governors have a whole lot of power and there's all this talk of a Democratic wave.

州長們擁有很大的權力，而且大家都在談論民主黨浪潮。

But the gubernatorial races nationwide should stand as a wake up call for Democrats.

但全國的州長選舉應該要給民主黨一個警鐘。

A wake up call for Democrats because take a look here, the race Raiders Governor's post 2026 election at least tilting to the Republicans.

給民主黨的警鐘，因為看看這裡，2026年Raiders州長職位的選舉，至少是傾向共和黨的。

你看看，一個多數，26個多數。

That is at this point the number of governors that are expected at least tilting towards the Republican party.

這就是目前預期至少傾向共和黨的州長人數。

At this point, Democrats come in at just 20.

And I will note that the Republicans right Now hold a 26 to 24 gubernatorial seat advantage.

我要指出，共和黨目前佔據著26比24的州長席位優勢。

So at this point it doesn't look like Republicans on the net and the aggregate are actually going to lose any governorships.

所以目前看來，共和黨總體而言並不會失去任何州長職位。

In fact, when you add in those toss ups, they may gain.

事實上，如果把這些未定數也算進去，他們可能會贏。

So this should stand as a major wake up call to Democrats because if there's a wave building, it has not least at this point hit the state level when it comes to governorships.

所以這對民主黨來說應該是個很大的警鐘，因為如果真的有民主黨浪潮正在形成，至少在州長選舉這個層級，到目前為止還沒有感受到。

And add to that, you point out that when it comes to governors races, Democrats have had had a bit of a problem over recent years.

另外，你指出，在州長選舉方面，民主黨近年來一直有點麻煩。

Yeah, they have had a big problem recently.

是的，他們最近確實有個大麻煩。

If you go back the last time, the last time that Democrats held a majority of governorships was all the way back in 2010.

如果回溯上次，民主黨上次擁有州長多數是在2010年。

And I will note I went all the way back through the record books, Kate Baldwin.

我要指出，我查遍了所有紀錄，Kate Baldwin。

I went all the way back through the record books.

And this is now the longest streak in which Democrats did not hold the majority of governorships in at least a century.

而這已經是民主黨至少一個世紀以來，未曾擁有州長多數的最長紀錄了。

This is a massive problem for Democrats because as we mentioned at the top, a lot of the policy is determined on the state level.

這對民主黨來說是個大問題，因為就像我們一開始提到的，很多政策都是在州層級決定的。

And if all of a sudden you can't actually lead a majority of governorships, the executive branch on the state level, that means Republicans are in fact forming and implementing most of the policies in the states and therefore a lot of the policies that nationwide and the power of the governor also has to do with how the state legislature looks.

如果你突然無法領導多數的州長職位，也就是州層級的行政部門，那就意味著共和黨實際上正在各州制定和實施大部分政策，是以全國的許多政策以及州長權力也與州立法機構的狀況有關。

Okay, so it's not just the governorships.

Republicans have held a majority of state legislatures since 2012.

自2012年以來，共和黨就一直佔據州立法機構的多數。

And again, this is the longest such streak dating back at least a century in which Republicans have held the majority of the state legislatures.

再說一次，這是至少一個世紀以來，共和黨佔據州立法機構多數的最長紀錄。

In fact, for much of of the 20th century, what you saw was Democrats actually held more state legislatures than them Republicans did.

事實上，在20世紀的大部分時間裡，你看到的是民主黨擁有的州立法機構比共和黨多。

And if you go state legislature by state legislature.

如果你一個州一個州地來看立法機構。

At this point, it seems likely, of course, still uncertain since we have a number of months until November elections.

目前看來很有可能，當然，因為離11月的選舉還有幾個月，所以還不確定。

The Republicans will continue the streak upholding the majority of state legislatures, continue their streak of holding the majority of governorships.

共和黨將延續他們維持州立法機構多數的紀錄，繼續保持州長職位多數的紀錄。

And therefore, Democrats will be locked out of holding a power in positions that really do determine a lot, a lot of the policy nationwide.

是以，民主黨將無法在真正決定全國許多政策的職位上掌握權力。

As I said, this should stand as a wake up call for Democrats because at this point, Republicans look like they're going to continue to hold the majority of governorships.

就像我說的，這應該給民主黨敲響警鐘，因為目前看來，共和黨將繼續佔據州長職位的多數。

這是一個非常非常有趣的觀察。

It appears, at least for now, that a bipartisan meeting of governors at the White House is back on.

看起來，至少目前是這樣，白宮的兩黨州長會議又恢復了。

After President Trump initially only invited Republican governors, but

在川普總統最初只邀請共和黨州長，但

he's still blocking two Democratic governors from a separate dinner and attacking the GOP chair of the National Governors Association, a very conservative Republican named Kevin Stitt as a rino.

他仍然阻止兩位民主黨州長參加另一場晚宴，並攻擊全國州長協會一位非常保守的共和黨主席 Kevin Stitt 是個叛徒。

Let's bring in Democratic Governor Andy Beshear of Kentucky to discuss it all.

我們請來了肯塔基州民主黨州長 Andy Beshear 來討論這一切。

Governor, there's a lot of confusion over whether Democratic governors are still invited to attend this bipartisan meeting and dinner at the White House.

州長，關於民主黨州長是否仍受邀參加白宮的這次兩黨會議和晚宴，有很多困惑。

Kevin Stitt, the Oklahoma governor and the chair of the National Governors association seem to say that you and your fellow Democrats are invited, but

俄克拉荷馬州州長兼全國州長協會主席 Kevin Stitt 似乎說您和您的民主黨同僚都受邀了，但是

then the president went on social media and attacked him.

總統隨後在社群媒體上攻擊了他。

It's just a lot of drama and it's unnecessary.

You know, governors wake up every day focused on getting results, on creating better jobs, creating safer communities, expanding access to health care, improving our public schools.

州長們每天都在努力爭取成果，創造更好的工作機會、更安全的社區、擴大醫療保健的普及，以及改善我們的公立學校。

And this meeting is an annual bipartisan tradition where we try to push our differences aside and talk about how we move forward in those areas.

而這次會議是每年一次的兩黨傳統，我們試圖放下彼此的分歧，討論如何在這些領域上向前邁進。

Yet the president has just turned it into drama, inviting and disinviting others.

然而總統卻把這件事搞成了戲劇，邀請了又取消邀請。

It no longer looks like it's going to be productive at all at this point.

照這樣看來，現在根本不可能有什麼成果了。

If you're not going to invite all the Democratic governors, this chair of the DGA isn't going to be there.

如果您不打算邀請所有民主黨州長，那麼DGA的主席也不會出席。

So just for the record, it's Jared Polis of Colorado and West Moore of Maryland who are the two Democrats not invited.

只是記錄一下，科羅拉多州的Jared Polis和馬裡蘭州的West Moore是兩位未受邀的民主黨人。

Are you worried at all that you not going will ultimately hurt your constituents in any way, denying you an opportunity to bring up your concerns with the president directly?

您會擔心您不去，最終會以任何方式傷害您的選民，讓您失去直接向總統提出擔憂的機會嗎？

We've been able to communicate with this administration for our concerns, but

我們一直以來都能跟這個政府溝通我們的擔憂，但是

there's a time when you have to stand up against the drama of a president that's turned an annual bipartisan tradition and is treating it like he's a 12 year old and it's his birthday party inviting and disinviting people lashing out at others.

有時候你就是得站出來反對總統的戲碼，他把一個年度的兩黨傳統搞得像個12歲小孩過生日一樣，隨意邀請又取消，還遷怒別人。

You know, the American people admittedly don't care about this dinner.

說真的，美國民眾承認他們不在乎這場晚宴。

They don't care necessarily about the meeting.

They care about whether you're improving their lives, decreasing costs, trying to address their everyday challenges.

他們關心的是你能不能改善他們的生活、降低開銷、試著解決他們日常的挑戰。

So that's what I'm going to be focused on.

所以這就是我接下來要專注的。

For the record, I've had two 12 year olds and neither of them would have ever done that.

說真的，我養過兩個12歲的小孩，他們從來不會這樣做。

The administration is increasingly focused on the midterms.

Earlier in the show, we played some sound from DHS Secretary Kristi Noemi talking about making sure the right people are voting and electing the right leaders.

稍早節目中，我們播放了國土安全部長克莉絲汀·諾艾米（Kristi Noemi）的聲音，她談到要確保對的人投票，選出對的領導人。

Between that and the DOJ demanding voter information from states and the president saying he plans to implement voter ID requirements even without congressional approval.

加上司法部向各州索取選民資訊，以及總統說他打算即使沒有國會準許也要實施選民身分證要求。

Are you worried as a governor about what is going to happen at the midterms?

身為州長，你會擔心期中選舉會發生什麼事嗎？

Kristi Noem's statements are wild and they are un American.

Kristi Noem 的發言太誇張了，而且一點都不美國。

The president talking about not federalizing elections.

He first said Republicans should take over elections in certain states that is anti democracy, but

他一開始說共和黨應該接管某些州的選舉，這是反民主的，但是

democratic governors and AG's are ready to stand up and make sure we have full and fair elections.

民主黨的州長和總檢察長已經準備好站出來，確保我們有完整公平的選舉。

If you try to intimidate the American people, especially when it comes to something so foundational as voting, I think you're underestimating them.

如果你試圖恐嚇美國人民，尤其是在投票這麼基礎的事情上，我認為你低估了他們。

I think you'd see huge lines and people singing and people want to be Americans first and Democrats or Republicans second, third or fourth.

我認為你會看到大排長龍，人們在唱歌，人們想先當美國人，而不是先當民主黨或共和黨。

你把我們的民主置於危險之中。

You try to intimidate them from voting and they will step up and protect this country.

你們試圖恐嚇他們投票，他們就會站出來保護這個國家。

But what are you specifically talking about doing if there is an issue?

但你們具體說的，如果出現問題，要怎麼做？

Well, the first thing we do is go to court.

嗯，我們做的第一件事就是上法院。

I've taken on this Trump administration despite being in a Trump +31 state over and over and over.

我多次、多次、多次地挑戰過這個川普政府，儘管我所在的州是川普領先 31 個百分點。

When they've tried to take the personal information of our citizens so that they can use it as they wish.

當他們試圖獲取我們公民的個人資訊，以便隨心所欲地使用時。

We stood up to them when they tried to cancel funding so that we could create a warning system in Eastern Kentucky for the next time, it would flood.

當他們試圖取消資金，以便我們能為東肯塔基州下次洪水建立預警系統時，我們站出來反對他們。

Like trying to send National Guard from Texas to Illinois.

就像試圖將國民警衛隊從德州派往伊利諾州。

Standing up and winning for the American people.

為美國人民挺身而出並贏得勝利。

You talk about needing FEMA in the case of a natural disaster of any sort.

你說需要 FEMA 來應對任何類型的自然災害。

Are you worried at all about Senate Democrats blocking DHS funding in this latest government shutdown standoff?

你是否擔心參議院的民主黨人會在這次最新的政府關門僵局中阻止 DHS 的資金？

Well, hopefully it won't last too long because FEMA is incredibly important and I will admit is operating pretty well under this president.

嗯，希望不會持續太久，因為 FEMA 非常重要，而且我必須承認，在這個總統任內運作得相當好。

At least the people on the ground that are helping people after the natural disasters.

至少是那些在自然災害後幫助人們的現場人員。

他們造成了美國人的死亡人數。
