What I told people, I was making a podcast about Benghazi.

Nine times out of ten, they called me a masochist, rolled their eyes, or just asked, why?

Benghazi, the truth became a web of lies.

From prologue projects and Pushkin Industries, this is fiasco, Benghazi.

What difference at this point does it make?

Yeah, that's right. Lock her up.

Listen to Fiasco, Benghazi, wherever you get your podcasts.

I'm Margaret Brennan in Washington, and this week on Face the Nation,

a not-so-hot jobs report leads to more uncertainty about the strength of the economy.

With Friday's jobs report showing an even foggier forecast for American consumers than anticipated,

President Trump called on his chief economic advisor Kevin Hassett to explain.

Right now we're puzzled about the BLS numbers and looking forward for new leadership there

to make it so that the members are more reliable.

But can those independent agencies, the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Federal Reserve,

maintain their independence in light of political pressure?

We'll ask Kevin Hassett and get his take on the state of the economy.

Plus, as the circle of critics grows when it comes to HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s handling of vaccines and management of the CDC, we'll talk to Republican Senator Roger Marshall.

And the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, Mark Warner, will also join us to weigh in on the news of the week.

Finally, as President Trump moves to rebrand the Defense Department as the Department of War,

and continues to warn the city of Chicago he'll soon send in federal forces, we'll talk to Illinois Democratic Senator Tammy Duckworth.

It's all just ahead on Face the Nation.

Good morning and welcome to face the nation.
