Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: 我认为共和党人现在犯了一些大错，他们低估了公众。他们正在推行一项危险的预算计划，其中包括对医疗补助的巨额削减，这将导致许多人失去医疗保障，并导致医疗保险保费上涨。此外，特朗普政府利用权力幻象来压制批评者，并试图通过政治恐吓来让民主党噤声。在移民问题上，缺乏进展导致共和党能够利用这个问题来攻击民主党。我们需要为无证移民提供一条获得公民身份的途径，并解决全面的移民改革问题。特朗普政府的政策对工作阶级选民有吸引力，因为他们将对富人的巨额让利与切实可行的政策承诺结合起来。然而，我们不应该盲目效仿特朗普的做法，而应该向美国人民寻求支持，并专注于解决不平等和社会保障等问题。政府应该为人民服务，而不是为富人和大型企业服务。我们应该避免虚伪，对民主党内部和纽约市政府的腐败行为进行批判。政府可以为富人高效运作，但在为劳动人民提供服务方面效率低下。我们不应该鲁莽地破坏重要的基础设施和社会保障体系，而应该专注于改进现有的系统，并解决不公正的问题。 Steve Inskeep: 作为采访者，我主要提出问题，引导AOC阐述其观点，并就其观点进行进一步的追问。例如，我询问了她对民主党现状的看法，以及她如何看待特朗普政府吸引传统民主党选民的原因。我还就移民问题、医疗补助削减以及政府效率等问题向她提问，以了解她对这些问题的看法和应对策略。
