Now I am a fan of this program too~ :)

It is an excellent program to improve listening comprehension and catch up with the news.

While I was listening, I jotted down a list of words/phrases I am interested in from the video clip.

Yes, it cost me more than 40 min precious morning time, but it’s totally worth it.

Don’t have much time to watch news to be in sync with what’s currently going on in the world. Or put it that I’ m not that much into political stuff. But I think at least I can watch this once a week.

Enlearner, keep posting this, please. Appreciate the video clip you provided, especially the tran, very helpful. Good job!

Part of my word list to share with whoever is insterested:

escrow account : 第三者保管账户
rehabilitate image: restore image
in sync with: 与……同步
hold ***** accountable in appropriate way: 用适当的方式让某人负责
be held to account
accountability: 有责任,有义务
vast, unaccountable bureaucracies
scandal-ridden regulatory agency: 丑闻缠身的监管机构
crack down : 采取严厉措施,
lag behind
hoarding cash: 囤积现金
government infused phony recovery: 政府灌输的假复苏
anemic: 贫血的 there's been some sign of recovery, but it's really anemic
show valor and strength in the field
safe habor
safe haven: 港口; 安全地方
outpost: 前哨
anti-establishment sentiment: 反建制的情绪
anti- Washington sentiment: 反政府情绪

out-of- control government that is taxing too much, spending too much and borrowing too much.
