特朗普总统解雇凯蒂·扎卡里亚之后，斯科特·詹宁斯就白宫应寻找什么发表了看法。
After President Trump fired Katie Zacharia, Scott Jennings weighs in on what the White House should look for. THE TRUMP.
特朗普先生，她被特朗普的“福克斯朋友”帮助温和或不温和地推出去了。>> 所以，斯科特，我的意思是，如果总统选择一位背景不太丰富的人，对吧？而且是在一场关键选举即将到来之际，这最终是否是他以及他的审核和决策的责任？>> 好吧，白宫发生的一切最终都是总统负责的。你知道，这也是他拥有任命这份工作、内阁或其他任何职位的人的特权。
AND SO SHE WAS GENTLY OR NOT SO GENTLY PUSHED OUT WITH THE HELP OF TRUMP'S FOX FRIENDS. >> SO, SCOTT, I MEAN, IF THE PRESIDENT CHOOSES SOMEONE WITHOUT A LOT OF BACKGROUND, RIGHT? AND SO CLOSE TO A PIVOTAL ELECTION, I MEAN, IS THIS ULTIMATELY ON HIM AND HIS VETTING AND HIS DECISION MAKING? >> WELL, EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS IN THE WHITE HOUSE IS UP TO THE PRESIDENT, ULTIMATELY. AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S HIS PREROGATIVE ON WHO TO HIRE FOR THIS JOB OR THE CABINET OR ANYTHING ELSE.
任何直接向他汇报的人。我对他的建议就是：尽可能找到最合格的人，最有经验的人，能够在讲台前以可信度站稳脚跟，而不仅仅是传递你的讯息，还要应对即将到来的挑战，尤其是如果共和党在中期选举中表现不佳的话。你们都能想象在未来几年，华盛顿会是什么样的敌对环境。而这位人选，加上几位国会关键议员，将每天都在电视上，面对这种持续的攻击。
ANYBODY ELSE THAT REPORTS DIRECTLY TO HIM. MY ADVICE TO HIM WOULD JUST BE TO GET THE MOST QUALIFIED PERSON YOU CAN GET WITH THE MOST EXPERIENCE, SOMEBODY WHO CAN STAND BEHIND THAT PODIUM WITH CREDIBILITY AND NOT JUST CARRY YOUR MESSAGE, BUT ALSO HANDLE THE INCOMING THAT IS SURE TO COME IF THE REPUBLICANS DON'T DO WELL IN THE MIDTERMS. YOU ALL CAN ALL IMAGINE THE SORT OF, UH, HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT THEY'RE GOING TO FACE IN WASHINGTON FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS. AND THAT PERSON, ALONG WITH A COUPLE OF KEY MEMBERS OF CONGRESS, ARE GOING TO BE ON TELEVISION EVERY SINGLE DAY, SORT OF DEALING WITH THAT ONSLAUGHT.
所以，我的意思是，短期来看是政治传讯员的问题，但接下来几年他将在为自己的遗产争取、在离开总统职位时留下印记的过程中，这位人选将置身其中。我认为，你需要找到一位经验丰富的人，也许已经在华盛顿待过一段时间，有电视节目经验等等。这件事涉及很多因素，也许还需要一点管理经验，因为这个办公室拥有相当庞大的工作人员，且需要一定的管理能力。
SO, I MEAN, THERE'S THE SHORT TERM ISSUE OF POLITICAL MESSENGER, BUT THEN THERE'S THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS AS HE FIGHTS FOR HIS OWN LEGACY AND FIGHTS TO LEAVE A MARK AS HE EXITS THE PRESIDENCY, THAT PERSON IS GOING TO BE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. SO I THINK YOU WANT SOMEBODY WITH AS MUCH EXPERIENCE AND MAYBE BEEN AROUND D.C. A LITTLE BIT AND HAS TV EXPERIENCE AND SO ON AND SO FORTH. SO THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT GO INTO IT, AND MAYBE A LITTLE MANAGEMENT EXPERIENCE, BECAUSE THAT OFFICE DOES HAVE A PRETTY BIG STAFF, AND IT DOES REQUIRE A LITTLE BIT OF MANAGEMENT.
正如布莱恩和玛丽亚所知道的。>> 所以，斯科特，鉴于你的名字之前上过短名单，你刚才是在为自己争取吗？>> 哦，我不会谈判。我和你在电视上个人的前景，但我确实对如何、呃，组建政府职位的人员有看法。
AS BRIAN AND MARIA KNOW. >> SO, SCOTT, GIVEN THAT YOUR NAME WAS ON THE SHORT LIST PRIOR, WERE YOU MAKING A PITCH FOR YOURSELF JUST THEN? >> OH, ME NO, I WOULDN'T NEGOTIATE. MY PERSONAL PROSPECTS WITH YOU HERE ON TELEVISION, BUT I, BUT I DO HAVE A, UH, I DO HAVE A VIEW ABOUT HOW TO, UH, STAFF, UH, GOVERNMENT POSITIONS.
我的观点非常简单。找到你所能找到的最有经验、最有能力的人，因为你值得拥有。你是美利坚合众国总统。你是世界上最有权势的人。你是自由世界的领袖。而所有代表你发言的人都必须以可信和权威的方式发言。当他们站在讲台后面时，嗯，因为他们是在面对全世界说话，而你在那个讲台上说的话可以影响市场，甚至移山。
AND MY VIEW IS VERY SIMPLE. FIND THE MOST EXPERIENCED, COMPETENT PERSON THAT YOU CAN FIND BECAUSE YOU DESERVE IT. YOU'RE THE PRESIDENT OF UNITED STATES. YOU'RE THE MOST POWERFUL PERSON IN THE WORLD. YOU'RE THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD. AND EVERYBODY WHO SPEAKS ON YOUR BEHALF HAS TO SPEAK WITH CREDIBILITY AND AUTHORITY. WHEN THEY STAND UP BEHIND THAT PODIUM, UH, BECAUSE THEY'RE SPEAKING TO THE WHOLE WORLD AND THE THINGS YOU SAY AT THAT PODIUM CAN MOVE MARKETS AND MOVE MOUNTAINS.
嗯，因此这个人非常、非常关键。一个可信的信使，只是恰好站在那个讲台上的人目前是空缺的。但他目前并非完全没有传播工具。>> 我将把最后一句话交给玛丽亚。但斯科特，我确实想在这里问你一下。你对这份工作还感兴趣吗？>> 是的。>> 我今晚或今天还没有和任何人谈论这件事。事实上，我是后来才知道的。
UH, AND SO THAT PERSON IS VERY, VERY PIVOTAL. A LO CREDIBLE MESSENGERS, IT'S JUST THAT THE PERSON WHO STANDS AT THAT PODIUM HAPPENS TO BE VACANT. BUT HE'S NOT TOTALLY WITHOUT COMMUNICATIONS WEAPONS AT THE MOMENT. >> I'M GOING TO GIVE MARIA THE FINAL WORD. BUT SCOTT, I DO WANT TO PRESS YOU HERE. ARE YOU INTERESTED IN THE JOB STILL? >> YEAH. >> I HAVEN'T SPOKEN TO ANYBODY ABOUT IT TONIGHT OR TODAY. IN FACT, I LEARNED ABOUT IT.
今天我在我的广播节目里时听说了这件事。我实际上在总统发表讲话几秒钟后就把他的讲话录下来并在节目中播放了。我当时正在了解整个事情的情况，嗯，就像你们所有人一样。
I WAS ON MY RADIO SHOW TODAY WHEN I HEARD ABOUT IT. AND I ACTUALLY TOOK THE PRESIDENT'S COMMENTS A FEW SECONDS AFTER HE MADE THEM AND PLAYED THEM ON THE SHOW. AND I WAS I WAS FINDING OUT ABOUT THE WHOLE THING, UH, AS YOU ALL
