Amb. Mike Waltz, Dr. Jerome Adams, Fmr. Attorney General Eric Holder
2026/04/19
This week on Face the Nation, the fight over the Strait of Hormuz could threaten the fragile ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran. The short-term truce in the war with Iran is holding — for now — but tensions are escalating over the status of the vital waterway where around 20% of the world's oil and energy supplies travel through. Iran again closing it to ships this weekend, and firing at vessels attempting passage. We get the latest from U.N. Ambassador Mike Waltz.  Former White House adviser on energy security Amos Hochstein will also join us with analysis on how the war continues to spike energy prices. Meanwhile, new developments in what the president calls his push to make America healthy again  — an executive order loosening restrictions on psychedelic drug and a new pick for head of the CDC. We ask former U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams to explain it all. We also hear from former Attorney General Eric Holder on the latest in the partisan fight over redistricting. Plus, we check in on Pope's Leo tour through Africa, as he downplays his dispute with President Trump.

Tom Homan, Rep. Jim Himes, Dr. Jerome Adams
2026/03/29
This week on Face the Nation, continued conflicting messages out of the White House when it comes to the war against Iran and why Americans are increasingly bearing the brunt of Washington's actions, or inactions. It's a spectacular spring in the nation's capital, but Congress has fled the city after showing they're incapable of consensus when it comes to funding the Homeland Security department.   President Trump says he'll use other means to pay TSA officers until an agreement is reached, but will that be enough to ease the long security lines at some of the country's busiest airports while the House and Senate are out of town for the next two weeks? We'll address the challenges to DHS with White House Border Czar Tom Homan, plus we'll talk with the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee Jim Himes. Then, we’ll check in with former Surgeon General Jerome Adams, about the alarming spread of measles and the impact of social media on children.

This week on Face the Nation, the consequences of the war in Iran are increasingly reverberating across the globe. The world's oil supply is under intensifying pressure as Iran threatens to blow up tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, and the U.S. strikes back at the heart of Iran's critical oil hub. President Trump is now asking U.S. allies to send warships to the region to help keep the Strait open as Tehran doubles down on its blockade. We get the latest from Iran's foreign minister Abbas Araghchi. Meanwhile, the pain from the oil supply shock is beginning to hit Americans at the gas pump.

Energy Secretary Chris Wright, Ambassador Michael Leiter, Senator Tim Kaine
2026/03/08
This week on Face the Nation, as the war on Iran enters its second week, concerns about a global energy crisis are growing. U.S. and Israeli forces stepped up their bombing campaign through the weekend, targeting Iranian airports, oil depots, bases and more. President Trump promises an escalation of hostilities until Tehran offers a complete and unconditional surrender. But Iran's defiant leaders say they will never surrender, hitting back hard at U.S. facilities and allies in the region, striking oil and gas infrastructure, putting pressure on much of the world's energy supply. We speak with Energy Secretary Chris Wright about the potential for a serious global supply shock, and what it could mean for oil and gas prices in the U.S. Plus, we ask Israel's Ambassador to the U.S. Michael Leiter how his government's objectives square with U.S. goals.

2026/02/22
This week on Face the Nation, in a major blow to the president's economic agenda, the Supreme Court strikes down his use of an emergency law to impose tariffs on foreign goods.

Tom Homan, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Sen. Thom Tillis
2026/02/15
This week on Face the Nation, the Department of Homeland Security is in a shutdown as negotiations over immigration enforcement rules are at a standstill. Two months into the new year, and the government is shut down yet again, this time, only partially, as disputes over President Trump's deportation policy leave lawmakers unable to fund the Department of Homeland Security. Caught in the limbo: TSA agents, the Coast Guard, FEMA employees and thousands of others, some working without pay. We ask Trump's border czar Tom Homan and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries where negotiations stand. Meanwhile, the fallout from the release of Epstein files grows as Attorney General Pam Bondi faces a grilling on Capitol Hill for her department's handling of the investigation. We talk to the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, California Congressman Robert Garcia, about what more he wants to see from the Justice Department as lawmakers get a firsthand look at the unredacted files for the first time. And finally, as world leaders gather at an annual security conference in Munich, we hear about that, and about America's standing in the world, from Republican Senator Thom Tillis.
