Summary

This week on Face the Nation, breaking overnight, mass shootings at Brown University and at a Hanukkah celebration in Australia, plus our exclusive interview with Venezuelan opposition leader and Nobel Peace prize winner María Corina Machado. On Saturday, the president paid tribute to our nation's finest in that time honored American tradition, the Army-Navy football game. Army won the coin toss, but Navy won the game on what was a sobering Saturday. Earlier, President Trump responded to the news of an ISIS attack on U.S. forces in Syria that killed two U.S. soldiers and an American civilian interpreter. As the foreign policy challenges continue for Mr. Trump, so do America's concerns about high prices. More than 20 million Americans also face skyrocketing health care premiums under Obamacare in the New Year. We talk with White House Chief Economic Adviser Kevin Hassett, Louisiana Republican Senator Bill Cassidy and Virginia Democratic Senator Mark Warner. Finally, in a conversation you'll see only on CBS, Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado tells us why she's so committed to democracy in her country, despite the risks she faces.
