Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan

This week on Face the Nation, nearly two years after the October 7 massacre, is a serious plan for a full hostage release and cease-fire in Gaza finally materializing? Secretary of State Marco Rubio tells us where that deal stands, and what's ahead for the region. Meanwhile, on Capitol Hill, the government shutdown continues, with no end in sight. We talk with Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and Democrat Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer about whether either party can break through the gridlock.

This week on Face the Nation, President Trump says another blue city needs federal protection for agents conducting immigration roundups. How will Americans be impacted by the president's latest announcement? We talk with the head of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, Rand Paul, to hear his thoughts on the president's plans.

Then, as the clock ticks down again towards a potential government shutdown, this round of the Washington blame game has the potential to hurt more than just the two parties. We ask two key democrats in the Senate, Minnesota's Amy Klobuchar and Virginia's Tim Kaine weigh in on the likelihood of a shutdown and how to avert it. 

Plus, Mr. Trump put his political opponents on notice after directing his Justice Department to indict former FBI director James Comey for allegedly lying to Congress. But what will be the impact on the federal justice system? Former Trump special counsel in the Russia election interference investigation Ty Cobb gives us insight. 

Finally, Russia launches another massive attack involving hundreds of drones and missiles on Ukraine's capital city. Republican Congressman Mike Turner just returned from the region and also joins us to discuss his visit and how the US will respond.

We talk exclusively with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to get the latest details on what’s next. Bolstered by a drop in crime in the nation's capital following the deployment of federal forces to clean up D.C., the president sets his sights on another potential target: Chicago. We visited the windy city and toured a neighborhood where the crime rate has dropped with the Governor of Illinois, Democrat JB Pritzker.

This week on Face the Nation, the Trump administration builds up the federal presence in the nation's capital to crack down on crime, as the President vows to use similar tactics in other US cities. The number of national guard troops sent to protect Washington continues to grow as President Trump praises his own plan to clean up the city. But as Mr. Trump dismissed district leaders' claim of a 30-year low in violent crime, he's vowing a similar surge in Chicago, New York, and other cities. What could that mean for public safety in your community? We'll check in with Maryland Democratic Governor Wes Moore and New York Republican Congressman Mike Lawler. Then, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell hints at an interest rate cut, but he also cautions that the U.S. economy is facing challenging times. We get a reality check on Powell's speech and state of the economy from economist Mohamed El Erian.

But what about the other countries, like Ukraine, and its western allies, who are still tightly aligned? We hear from Trump's former National Security Council’s Russia expert Fiona Hill, Alaska Republican Senator Dan Sullivan and Colorado Democrat Jason Crow. Plus, World Central Kitchen Founder José Andrés will join us following his trip to Gaza where a humanitarian crisis persists.
