Brendan Carr says he’ll let Pete Hegseth decide whether TV networks can air the public execution

Brendan Carr says he’ll let Pete Hegseth decide whether TV networks can air the public execution.

布伦丹·卡尔（Brendan Carr）表示，他将由皮特·海格塞斯（Pete Hegseth）决定电视网络是否可以转播此次公开处决。

The Pentagon is planning to livestream the execution of a convicted shooter, but the FCC Chairman says that the agency will ‘defer to Secretary Hegseth’ about if it will be broadcast.

五角大楼计划对一名被定罪的枪手进行处决直播，但联邦通信委员会（FCC）主席表示，该机构将就其是否会被转播的问题“听从海格塞斯部长的决定”。

FCC chairman Brendan Carr said he will defer to Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth on whether TV networks can air the planned execution of convicted Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan by firing squad.

联邦通信委员会主席布伦丹·卡尔表示，关于电视网络能否转播胡德堡枪击案罪犯尼达尔·哈桑（Nidal Hasan）的预定行刑队处决，他将听从国防部长皮特·海格塞斯的决定。

The Pentagon has said the execution will be livestreamed, suggesting it’ll appear on an online platform beyond the FCC’s jurisdiction. But it’s common for broadcast TV networks to air live video of government events, and Carr’s agency does have a say over what happens on public airwaves.

五角大楼已表示将对处决进行直播，这表明它将出现在联邦通信委员会管辖范围之外的在线平台上。但广播电视网络转播政府活动的实时视频是很常见的，而卡尔的机构确实对公共广播频道的内容拥有发言权。

“My understanding is it’s not on broadcast TV, so I don’t think there’s a role for the FCC one way or the other,” Carr said in a CNBC interview today. “But I trust Secretary Hegseth. He’s implemented the laws and the regulations that are relevant to the Department of War, and I think he’s doing a great job, and I trust that he’s making the right call on these issues.”

“据我了解，它不会在广播电视上播出，所以我认为联邦通信委员会在其中并没有什么角色，”卡尔在今天接受CNBC采访时说。“但我信任海格塞斯部长。他执行了与战争部相关的法律法规，我认为他做得很好，我相信他在这些问题上会做出正确的决定。”

When asked if the execution would be allowed on broadcast TV if the Defense Department wanted it, Carr said it would be Hegseth’s choice. “Ultimately we’re going to defer to Secretary Hegseth and his decisions on how to move forward with this,” Carr said.

当被问及如果国防部希望在广播电视上播出此次处决是否会被允许时，卡尔表示这将由海格塞斯决定。“最终，我们将听从海格塞斯部长及其关于如何推进此事的决定，”卡尔说。
