【聊了什么】

从“大放异彩”的少数族裔候选人Vivek Ramaswamy,到肯尼迪家族的“局外人” RFK Jr.,再到更早的杨安泽,特朗普时代后,没有担任过公职的“非主流候选人”已经成为了两党初选中不可小觑的一股势力,他们为何能吸引到选民的支持,他们走多远?

The post-Trump era political arena has seen no shortage of unconventional candidates: from rising superstar Vivek Ramaswamy, to the “outsider” of the famed Kennedy family — RFK Jr., to the UBI candidate Andrew Yang from the last election cycle.

In this episode, we dive into their political journey — how did they rise to become formidable foes without ever having held public office? What makes them appealing to their supporters and how far can they go? Follow along as we watch their career with great interest.

美轮美换的前身是“选·美 iAmElection”,一档由游天龙、talich、林垚、庄巧祎等人于2015年创立的中文播客,选·美聚集了一群关心美国政治的学者、律师、媒体人、观察者和爱好者,在2016年大选前后吸引了大量的听众和读者,成为一档现象级的播客。2020年大选前,talich等人重新推出了“美轮美换”,更新了16集。2023年,新一轮美国大选即将开始,我们决定将选·美和美轮美换的传统延续下去,推出新版的“美轮美换”播客。

The American Roulette is produced by Baihua Media. It is a podcast dedicated to helping the Chinese-speaking community understand fast-changing U.S. politics.

The American Roulette’s predecessor is “iAmElection”, a Chinese-language podcast created by Tianlong You, Talich, Yao Lin, and Qiaoy Zhuangi in 2015. The podcast brought together a group of scholars, lawyers, media veterans, observers and enthusiasts who care about American politics. At the height of its popularity, it was featured in the New York Times, and attracted an estimated 70,000 audience who listened each month. For the 2020 election, Talich and others relaunched the podcast as "美轮美换" with 16 new episodes.

In 2023, as the new round of U.S. presidential election is about to begin, we’re building on the legacy of “iAmElection” and “美轮美换” to launch a new podcast that we hope will become your go-to American Politics podcast. We introduce: “美轮美换 The American Roulette.”

4月23日美国政治新闻速递 | 白宫考虑大幅削减对华关税,贝森特称美中有达成「重大协议」的机会

特朗普关税和经济 * 贝森特称美中有达成「重大协议」的机会:财政部长斯科特·贝森特(Scott Bessent)周三在华盛顿表示,美国与中国在贸易方面有达成「重大协议」的机会,暗示两国间激烈的关税战可能有所缓解。贝森特在国际金融协会发表主旨演讲时称,特朗普政府希望美国经济重新平衡,更多转向制造业,而中国需要摆脱其「出口导向型制造业增长」模式,他认为这种模式是「不可持续」的,既损害中国自身,也损害全球。他强调「美国优先不代表美国孤立」。在同一次演讲中,贝森特还对国际货币基金组织(IMF)和世界银行提出了批评,认为这两个机构已偏离了最初的使命,需要「重回正轨」。他表示,IMF没有义务向那些未能实施改革的国家提供贷款,其成功的标志应是经济稳定和增长,而不是贷款规模;世界银行也不应再因为空泛的宣传或敷衍的改革承诺而获得「空白支票」。(CBS News) * 白宫考虑大幅削减对华关税以缓和贸易战:据《华尔街日报》报道,多位知情人士透露,特朗普政府正考虑大幅削减对中国进口商品征收的高额关税,部分关税削减幅度可能超过一半,此举旨在缓和与中方日益加剧的贸易紧张关系,这种紧张关系已对全球贸易和投资

国防部长赫格塞斯再陷泄密丑闻 据NPR报道,一位未获授权公开发言的美国官员透露,白宫已开始物色新任国防部长人选,以替换现任部长皮特·赫格塞斯(Pete Hegseth)。《纽约时报》最新报道称,在赫格塞斯在「Signal门」中向包括了《大西洋月刊》主编杰弗里·戈德伯格(Jeffrey Goldberg)的Siganl群聊中分享了关于也门空袭的敏感信息的几乎同一时间,他还在另一个包含其妻子、兄弟和律师的私人Signal群聊中使用个人手机分享了有关空袭也门胡塞武装目标的分钟级机密行动细节。 尽管面临新的争议,白宫新闻秘书卡罗琳·莱维特(Karoline Leavitt)在社交媒体X上发帖否认了寻求替换赫格塞斯的说法,称特朗普总统「坚定地」支持他。特朗普本人也向记者表示,对Signal群聊的担忧是「浪费时间」,并称赫格塞斯「做得很好——问问胡塞武装他做得怎么样」。赫格塞斯周一在白宫活动上否认有不当行为,并指责媒体利用「心怀不满的前雇员」提供的匿名信息来攻击他。 近期五角大楼发生众多人事动荡,四名高级顾问突然离职。其中前国防部发言人约翰·尤利奥特(John Ullyot)辞职后在Poli
