S Senate Andi, that is backing the stimulus package.

斯參議院安迪，這是對經濟刺激計劃的支持。

But the Senate is rejecting this minimum wage.

但參議院卻拒絕了這個最低工資標準。

That's a small setback for President Biden, especially because it goes down to a Republican proposal on that now prohibits the minimum wage to be increased during the times of a pandemic and that found bipartisan support.

這對拜登總統來說是一個小挫折，特別是因為它歸結於共和黨的一項提案，現在禁止在流行病時期提高最低工資，並且發現兩黨支持。

The concern here is that this minimum wage would be a burden for small businesses that they could eventually not make ends meet anymore with this minimum wage imposed.

所以，這為這個救濟方案最終簽署鋪平了道路，呃，眾議院議長南希-佩洛西承諾，這將在3月15日前完成並通過。

但當然，你也需要參議院的每一張民主黨的票，尤其是在那裡，因為你知道，多數派是非常渺茫的。

It'd continues to be a very close call, just sort of slightly technical note.

這將繼續是一個非常接近的決定，只是有點技術性的說明。

Why is it that the Democrats don't need Republican support from this point?

為什麼從這一點來說，民主黨不需要共和黨的支持？

Well, they usually need 60 votes in the Senate to pass such a bill.

The Democrats currently have 50 so that's not enough.

民主黨目前有50人，所以還不夠。

And then the Senate passed a so called budget resolution.

然後參議院通過了一個所謂的預算決議。

It gets a bit complicated here, but essentially it allows Democrats to pass the relief build with just a simple majority.

這裡變得有點複雜，但基本上它允許民主黨人只需簡單的多數票就可以通過救濟建設。

And that is enough if they use the vice president, Camilla Harris vote as a tie breaker.

如果他們用副總統卡米拉-哈里斯的票作為平局，那就夠了。

And so therefore, the Democrats do not need the Republicans to pass this legislation.

是以，民主黨不需要共和黨通過這項立法。

Okay, so the other big vote being talked about in Washington day is the House that Democrats unprecedented step of removing a Republican congresswoman from her committee assignments.

好了，所以另一個大的投票正在談論在華盛頓的一天是眾議院，民主黨史無前例的步驟，刪除一個共和黨女議員從她的委員會任務。

So Democrats told Republicans to take disciplinary action against Marjorie Taylor Green because of her controversial Internet posts.

是以，民主黨人告訴共和黨人對Marjorie Taylor Green採取紀律行動，因為她的爭議性互聯網帖子。

Congresswoman Green advocated for the execution of a leader of this house she advocated for the execution of former President Obama.

I never said any of these things since I have been elected for Congress.

自從我當選為國會議員以來，我從未說過這些話。

I was allowed to believe things that weren't true, and I would ask questions, questions about them and talk about them.

我被允許相信一些不真實的東西，我會提出問題，對它們提出疑問，並談論它們。

And that is absolutely what I regret, because if it weren't for the Facebook post and comments that I liked in 2018, I wouldn't be standing here today.

而這絕對是我後悔的地方，因為如果不是2018年我在Facebook上點讚的帖子和評論，我今天就不會站在這裡了。

Congressman Greene says this resolution could set a precedent for the future.

國會議員格林說，這項決議可以為未來開創一個先例。

I hope we're setting a clear standard for what we will not tolerate.

我希望我們為我們不能容忍的事情設定一個明確的標準。

Anyone who suggests putting a bullet in the head of a member shouldn't serve on any committee, period.

任何建議把子彈打進成員腦袋裡的人都不應該在任何委員會任職，就這樣。

Never before in the history of this house has the majority abused its power.

在這個議院的歷史上，從來沒有過多數派濫用權力的情況。

贊成的是230人，反對的是199人。

Oliver said that the bizarre ideas on Deacon Spirit see Siri's that that Marjorie Taylor, A Green has has talked about Andi liked on Facebook is long on bizarre.

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。

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?

他們是應該堅持陰謀論，還是應該繼續前進，接受舊的民主價值觀？

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。

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。

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。

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。
