CBS News announced the scheduled guest lineup for the upcoming Sunday, August 23, broadcast of "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan." The program will feature representatives from both major political parties alongside experts in public health and economic policy.
The announcement follows the program's standard practice of hosting a mix of lawmakers and specialists to discuss current national issues. The broadcast is scheduled to air at 10:30 a.m. ET on the CBS television network and will be available for streaming later in the day.
The legislative guests include Representative Seth Moulton, a Democrat from Massachusetts, and Representative Byron Donalds, a Republican from Florida. Joining the lawmakers are Dr. Scott Gottlieb, who previously served as the commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and Neel Kashkari, the current president and chief executive officer of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis.
The presence of Dr. Scott Gottlieb, a former FDA commissioner, indicates a continued focus on public health policy. His insights often reflect on how federal regulations and health trends affect patients, healthcare providers, and the pharmaceutical industry. For small-business owners and employees, the economic outlook provided by the Minneapolis Fed president can signal potential shifts in the labor market or borrowing costs. By hosting representatives from both parties, the program allows for a comparison of different legislative priorities that may eventually result in changes to federal taxes, spending, or social programs.
The broadcast is set to reach audiences across multiple platforms, appearing first on broadcast television before moving to digital services. Following the live 10:30 a.m. ET airing, the program will be available to stream on Paramount+ and the CBS News website starting at 12:30 p.m. ET. These appearances often serve as precursors to legislative action or policy debates in Congress, where Representatives Moulton and Donalds hold voting power. The specific topics to be discussed during these segments were not detailed in the guest list announcement.
