Krystal: 今天是情人节，我们临时决定加一期节目，讨论三个主要话题：纽约市长Eric Adams的腐败案，特朗普政府的干预，以及由此引发的辞职潮；乌克兰局势的最新进展，包括可能的谈判和各方 conflicting 的言论；以及Doge对联邦政府的影响，特别是大规模裁员计划。我们将分析这些事件的背景、影响以及各方的立场，并提供我们自己的解读。 Ryan: 我认为Eric Adams的腐败案暴露了政治体系的深层问题，特朗普政府的干预更是令人震惊。Adams为了个人利益，不惜牺牲纽约市民的利益，与特朗普政府达成协议，这是一种公然的腐败行为。司法部对此事的处理也令人失望，他们一方面在处理一些小案件，另一方面却对这种明显的腐败行为视而不见。我们需要对这种现象进行深刻的反思。 Emily: 我对民主党在此事上的表现感到失望。他们本可以抓住这个机会，抨击特朗普政府的腐败，但他们却选择了沉默。Kathy Hochul州长也缺乏行动的勇气，没有采取措施罢免Adams。我认为民主党需要更加强硬，更加坚定地捍卫自己的价值观。此外，我对Elon Musk的影响力感到担忧。他与特朗普政府的关系越来越密切，这可能会对美国的政策产生负面影响。
