Ken Khachigian: 我从年轻时就对政治充满热情,并在尼克松和里根政府期间担任要职,参与了诸多重大政治事件的决策过程。我的职业生涯始于给尼克松写信表达参与竞选的意愿,尽管起初未得到回应,但我坚持不懈,最终获得了在竞选团队中担任志愿者的机会。在与尼克松共事期间,我亲眼目睹了他处理水门事件以及其他政治挑战的方式,这与公众的普遍印象有所不同。尼克松并非人们想象中那样冷酷无情,他是一个能够进行开放对话,并对各种想法持开放态度的人,只是白宫的组织结构限制了与他的直接接触。在尼克松辞职后,我帮助他处理了财务和法律问题,并参与了他的回忆录写作。我与尼克松共事的时间很长,这让我有机会深入了解他的性格和政治观点。他还经常谈论其他政治人物,例如肯尼迪和里根,分享了他对他们的看法和评价。 在里根政府期间,我担任他的首席演讲撰稿人,这让我有机会近距离观察他的工作方式以及与南希·里根的关系。南希·里根在里根的政治生涯中扮演着重要的角色,她对里根的决策和公众形象有着很大的影响力。里根本人是一个真诚而善良的人,但他有时也会因为幕僚的误导而做出错误的决定,例如1982年提高税收的决定。里根对这一决定感到后悔,并认为这是他总统任期内最大的错误之一。 我与尼克松、里根和老布什都有过接触,对他们都有着深刻的了解。老布什是一个非常绅士的人,我对他印象深刻。我对老布什与John Hinckley Jr.兄弟的会面感到震惊,但这与我所了解的老布什的性格不符。 总的来说,我的政治生涯让我有机会见证了美国政治的复杂性和挑战性,也让我对尼克松、里根和老布什等政治人物有了更深入的了解。 Patrick Bet-David: 本期节目邀请了传奇政治策略家和演讲撰稿人肯·哈奇吉安,他为尼克松和里根工作过。哈奇吉安分享了他与这些总统共事的经历,以及他对尼克松、里根和老布什等政治人物的看法。他还谈到了水门事件、里根政府的政策以及其他一些政治事件。
