但我非常欣賞拜登副總統的一點是，他明確表示，他設想他將建立的政府是一個變革性甚至過渡性的政府。

And yet with the pandemic, uh, the national awakening around racial injustice on even further collapse in global respect for the United States it matters more than ever that we have somebody who can establish trust both here at home by calling the country to its highest values and globally in your book just to take a step back.

然而，隨著種族不公的大流行，呃，全國性的覺醒，在全球對美國的尊重進一步崩潰，這比以往任何時候都重要，我們有一個人可以建立信任，無論是在國內，通過呼籲國家最高的價值觀，還是在全球，在你的書中，只是退一步。

你談到了信任和重建信任，以及人們如何失去對政府和機構的信任。

We see this discussion here in the UK about there is a concern that the left in America, the left that you're a part of, like the Labor Party has been criticized here in Britain doesn't actually speak the language not just a middle parts of the country, but of blue collar workers of those people who need to be understood who turned towards Donald Trump.

How does Joe Biden get to them?

喬-拜登是怎麼找到他們的？

Well again, I think it's in his bones, but it's also in his strategy, and it's one of the reasons that you know, I myself spent a lot of time going on conservative media trying to reach everybody with our message because again, the American people are already with us on everything from procedural questions.

If you've got a guy used to be vice president trying to be president again, it's just like a merry go round of the establishment in the Democrat Party.

如果你讓一個曾經當過副總統的人再想當總統，這就像民主黨內建制派的一個輪迴。

They were trying to hold office on.

他們是想在上擔任職務。

I think it's become more and more just a rhetorical device versus something that would actually explain the positions of the candidates.

What I care about is are we gonna have a president who's going to raise wages and make the wealthy pay their fair share, or somebody is going to continue on the path we're on.
