Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan

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.

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.

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.
