Margaret Brennan: 本周《面对全国》节目关注总统缩减联邦政府规模的行动加剧，以及他的外交政策谈判进入关键阶段。周五，在国家安全关键时刻，政府对五角大楼高层进行了人事清洗。与此同时，总统将矛头指向反对其议程的民主党州长。立法者们因特朗普削减联邦政府规模的举动而面临选民的压力。最后，随着禽流感、麻疹和其他疾病的增多，以及美国公共卫生机构即将发生重大变化，我们将听取前 FDA 专员 Scott Gottlieb 的现实评估。 Steve Witkoff: 我将前往中东，致力于一项人质交易。我们的目标是实现永久停火，并确保哈马斯不能重返政府。关于巴勒斯坦人的回归问题，特朗普总统理解，沿用行不通的旧政策没有意义。我们需要为在加沙生活的人们创造更好的生活机会。加沙的重建可能需要 15 到 20 年的时间。 Kathy Hochul: 我与特朗普总统会面，就拥堵定价问题进行了交涉。我认为特朗普政府干预纽约市的运作令人担忧。我不会允许特朗普政府干预我们城市的事务。 Chris Van Hollen: 特朗普政府提出的将 200 万加沙居民迁出的想法是种族清洗。阿拉伯国家正在努力制定一项计划，以应对治理、安全和重建问题，而无需将 200 万人赶出加沙。特朗普政府的做法是美国在退缩，我们的盟友感到害怕。 John Curtis: 我认为，美国人民要求变革，他们对边境、经济和许多其他问题感到不满。特朗普总统的行动是“停车”时刻，需要进行重大变革。虽然我对在如此动荡的时期更换国防部高层人士感到担忧，但我认为美国人民要求变革，他们对边境、经济和许多其他问题感到不满。 Scott Gottlieb: 我非常担心麻疹疫情的蔓延。许多感染者都没有接种疫苗，疫情爆发地区是疫苗豁免率最高的地区之一。美国可能面临失去麻疹消除地位的风险。关于罗伯特·F·肯尼迪小儿麻痹症疫苗的言论，我认为这将很难恢复人们对疫苗的信心。麻疹是一种非常危险的病毒。关于使用第 42 条款限制移民入境以应对肺结核等疾病，我认为从政策角度来看，政府在控制边境流动方面做得很好，我不确定为什么他们需要采取公共卫生措施作为额外的工具。

Shownotes Transcript

This week on Face the Nation, the president's mission to shrink the federal workforce intensifies, and his foreign policy dealmaking hits a critical juncture. Late Friday, the purge of the federal workforce struck the Pentagon at the top, during a critical moment for our national security, as the new administration seeks peace talks to end Russia's war in Ukraine and as a fragile truce between Israel and Hamas hangs in the balance. We spoke with Trump's top negotiator and envoy, Steve Witkoff. Meanwhile here at home, the president takes aim at Democratic governors who oppose his agenda. We asked New York Governor Kathy Hochul how she's picking her battles with the new administration. Lawmakers are facing some heat from their voters over Trump's push to slash the federal workforce -- led by Elon Musk. Maryland Democrat Chris Van Hollen and Utah Republican John Curtis discuss the impacts on their constituents. Finally, with bird flu, measles and other illnesses on the rise -- and big changes ahead for America's public health agencies, we'll get a reality check from former FDA commissioner Scott Gottlieb.
