President Trump's grand plan for the Washington DC skyline isn't the only thing shaking up the city this summer. Last week he appointed a man with NO intelligence experience to head up the top agency in the intelligence community.
Bill Pulte, who serves as the director of the federal housing finance agency, is the heir to a building fortune and close to the President. He's rubbed some cabinet members the wrong way.
And his appointment has sparked concern among even Republicans trying to reauthorize a surveillance program that's due to expire this week. The top Democrat on the House Intel committee Jim Himes will be here today. Nebraska Republican Congressman Don Bacon also joins us.
Meanwhile, Democrats are keeping close watch on Tuesday's Maine Senate primary as their candidate faces some alarming allegations of past aggressive behavior. We talk with a top Graham Platner supporter, California Democrat Ro Khanna.
Finally...should the government have more control over the exploding field of Artificial Intelligence? Plus a conversation about the virtue of courage in public service

This week on Face the Nation, one month away from midterms and the pressure on the President to do something about high prices is building With control of the House and Senate at stake, President Trump has been on a red state road trip to get Republicans to the polls. Our new CBS poll has troubling news for the President's party. With 9 in 10 voters saying they rate the economy on the basis of prices, 7 in 10 say that Trump's policies are making food and grocery prices go up, and 9 in 10 says the conflict with Iran is making US gas and oil prices either a lot or a little higher. With early voting now underway, it may be too late for Trump to turn things around. We'll talk with energy Secretary Chris Wright about new efforts to get gas prices down. Plus we'll ask Zach Lahn , the Republican running for governor in Iowa. Arizona Democratic Senator Mark Kelly also weighs in. All that and more ahead on Face the Nation.
