【聊了什么 What We Talked About】

美国大选年又来了,我们又憋不住想聊美国政治了。四年一度的大选,如同一场轮盘赌,赌的是美国乃至全世界的命运。共和党初选在即,司法麻烦不断的特朗普依然在民调中遥遥领先,却选择跳过初选辩论;建制派精英和金主们试图带共和党走出特朗普的阴影,无奈选民并不买账;毫无政治经验的“网红”Ramaswamy异军突起,上升势头猛烈。2024年的大选,是不是最终又会是4年前特朗普vs.拜登的重演?

With another U.S. election year just around the corner, we can’t help but take a deep dive into American politics once more. Every four years, it feels like we’re playing a game of roulette, betting on the fate of the United States and even the entire world. In this episode, we survey the current landscape ahead of the Republican primaries: Donald Trump — plagued by legal troubles — continues to lead in the polls. He chose to skip the very first primary debate. On the other hand, the GOP establishment elites and their donors are trying to lead the Republican Party out of Trump's shadow, but voters are not convinced. The politically inexperienced "internet celebrity" Vivek Ramaswamy has risen in popularity unexpectedly and gained a strong momentum. Will the 2024 election ultimately be a replay of four years ago, ending with Trump vs. Biden? Let’s find out.

【我们是谁 Who We Are】

美轮美换是一档深入探讨当今美国政治的中文播客。

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 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.”

  • 王浩岚 (Haolan Wang):American political enthusiast, chief writer at Lán Mù WeChat Official Account, and peddler of information

6月17日美国政治新闻速递 | 特朗普敦促伊朗无条件投降,美国考虑军事打击等多种选项

国际 * 特朗普声称知晓伊朗最高领袖哈梅内伊藏身之处,敦促伊朗无条件投降:特朗普周二在社交媒体发布声明,称美国「确切知道所谓的『最高领袖』藏在哪里」,并敦促伊朗「无条件投降」。特朗普表示哈梅内伊「是个容易的目标」但「至少现在不会」干掉他,同时警告「我们的耐心正在消磨」。特朗普此前曾拒绝以色列提出的暗杀哈梅内伊计划,担心此举可能激化冲突。特朗普提前结束七国集团峰会返回华盛顿处理危机,表示正寻求冲突的「真正结束」而非停火。(AP) * 特朗普考虑对伊朗进行军事打击等多种选项:特朗普周二在白宫战情室与高级顾问会面,考虑包括对伊朗进行潜在军事打击在内的多种选项。尽管白宫表示美国未加入以色列对伊朗的攻击,但美国在该地区不断加强军事部署,第三艘驱逐舰进入地中海东部,第二个航母打击群正驶向阿拉伯海。(WSJ) * 伊朗准备导弹以报复可能的美军基地袭击:据美国官员审阅的情报报告,如果美国加入以色列对伊朗的战争,伊朗已准备好导弹等军事装备用于打击中东地区美军基地。随着以色列敦促白宫介入冲突,美国对更大规模战争的担忧加剧。美国已向欧洲派遣约36架加油机,美军指挥官将该地区4万多名美军置于高度警戒状
