the week is just ahead on to help the world keep advancing. "face the nation." ♪ (mom) oh, so cute! >> brennan: good morning, and welcome to "face the nation." it's a big week here in (fozzie) ma!

i'm tom steyer, and i approve this message. judgment, is a red herring. here are the two possible as a principal i can tell you this. scenarios. number one, the president when one student gets left behind, we all get left behind. asked for an investigation of a political rival. this is a problem that affects each and every one of us. number two, the president together with ibm, asked for an investigationbl coy we created a whole new kind of school called p-tech. within six years, students can graduate with a high school diploma, someone who happens to be a college degree, a political rival. and a pathway to a competitive job. the latter what be in the you know what's going up today? my poster. national interest; the today, there are more than a hundred thousand former would be in g p-tech students around the world. it's a game changer. toen to the president's incant, his motive, did he have a culpable state of mind. for me, margaret, there are only two relevant questions that need to be answered: why did the >> with correspondents president ask for an across the country investigation? and, number two, and this questioning him. live from indianapolis, new york city, and also here in washington. is ineextricably linked, here is the moderator of

"face the nation," ted gup. >> how do you do, and what did joe biden do with the money. >> brennan: there have welcome to "face the nation." >> brennan: that was the been 2500 pages of sworn very first episode of testimony that have been "face the nation," 65 released to the public. have you read any of those years ago this week. depositions? >> i've read some, but any and as you can see, we had a couple of technical glitches right at the lawyer, in my judgment, start. a sterile transcriptfrom technology has certainly changed, but our commitment here at "face the nation" has not. for 65 years, we've done our best to give our viewers not only the news they need to know, but to is no substitute for live help educate and give them witnesses. context about what is >> brennan: okay. important and why in a i want to ask you fair, straightforward way. specifically, because of the point you're making in we'll have more thoughts on our mission here at terms of differentiating "face the nation" over the years in our next half hour. intent motives and culpable state of mind, lieutenant colonel vindman, who gave sworn testimony, which was released this week, he currently worked at the white house, listened to president trump's calltestied, and we're exploring ways to use renewable energy was no doubt t the in our operations. president was doin' more... ...with less. more data and precision... political investigations to help meet growing demand. of a political rival." that's going to get a lot of likes. so is it appropriate to chevron.

innovating to meet the energy demands of today and tomorrow. ask foreign governments to investigate americans? >> well, it depends on the the one thing you learn pretty quickly, circumstances. i'm not going to go is that there's a lot to learn. through the two scenarios that i just gave you, but grow with google is here to help you it depends on the circumstances. with turning ideas into action. and there is -- i would putting your business on the map, say this about the connecting with customers, and getting the skills to use new tools. transcript: i can comment on the gentleman's so, in case you're looking, testimony if you let me we've put all the ways we can help in one place. hear his live testimony, let me hear the free training, tools, and small business resources cross-examination, let me judge his credibility, let are now available at google.com/grow me judge his body language, and also allow the opposing party to call their own witnesses in rebuttal. that is due process. >> brennan: uh-huh. >> not only allowing the witnesses you want, as the chairman as done, leaking selective portions of it to friendly members of the media who lap it up like a puppy. >> brennan: well, all ofsed -- >> now they are, but

before, when they were trying to establish the narrative with the american -- >> brennan: some of our >> brennan: but now stations are leaving us we're moving into now, but we'll be right public -- well, now the case has to be made to the back with more from ambassador o'brien and american public in these political panel. so stay with us. public hearings. so is there anything that you could hear from lieutenant colonel vindman, if and when he is called to testify, that would lead you to ever vote for the removal of the president? >> well, again, i've got to hear the testimony. don't miss the grand opening >> brennan: so that of the new floor & decor in milpitas. means maybe? >> if you -- if you if you have never been to a floor & decor, you have to go to the grand opening. hardwoods, laminates, tile or stone. assert -- if you try to assess how a trial is holy smokes, this place is huge! going for a defendant, you i'm on a budget and i was able to go to floor & decor, don't just listen to the lawyers' opening statements, and you don't just read the transcript. u wi and save a lot of money. os com hei e. you sit there and listen if you love your wallet, and you love your home, to all of the testimony, you have to go. the cross-examination and the context. floor & decor. opening november 14th in milpitas, >> brennan: uh-huh. >> and i think that

off the 880 freeway on north mccarthy blvd. speaker pelosi's decision and adam schiff's decision dana-farber cancer institute to prevent the republicans discovered the pd-l1 pathway. pd-l1. from calling their own witnesses in the live they changed how the world fights cancer. testimony, is just blocking the pd-l1 protein, doubling down on stupid. the american people, i lets the immune system attack, attack, think, are going to look his and it.prt and attack cancer.-l1 ord,, immunotherapy. pd-l1 saved my life. saved my life. >> bnnan: bnot suggesting he tha saved my life. what we do here at dana-faber, changes lives witnesses, like everywhere. lieutenant colonel everywhere. everywhere. everywhere. vindman, lack credibility? everywhere. >> i don't know. them. what i am telling you is, that if it can be demonstrated that the president asked for -- and had the requisite state of line, that the president asked for an investigation of a political rival, that is over the line. but if he asked for an investigation of possible corruption by someone who happens to be a political rival, that is not over the line. >> brennan: so "over the

line," does that mean impeachable? yeah, probably. >> brennan: so there is something that could potentially persuade you to vote for removal? >> i can't answer that, closed captioning provided by cbs sports division. margaret, because that encompasses all possible scenarios. it is like asking >> week 10 in the nfl. >> odell beckham, jr.. would i caught?fis all i'm saying is that it ought to be fair, it ought to be public -- i read ball. somewhere that democracy >> sean mcdermott is 6-2 and dies in darkness. it ought to be public. 3-0 on the road. both sides ought to be able to call their >> lamar jackson. witnesses in front of god, their country, and the he is a diamon american people. and then let the american people decide. and the president and his counsel should be allowed to participate. i believe that would be fair. and then i will happily judge the evidence. but you can't limit the witnesses, as chairman schiff and speaker pelosi are doing, selectively meet portions of the

transcript that favor your opinion to friendly members of the press who lap it up like a puppy. i don't think any fair-minded person in the milky way believes that speaker pelosi on chairman schiff are impartial here. >> brennan: well, we look forward to the trial in the senate, and then seeing what you decide to do, senator. thank you for joining us. the question is, of course, with our next guest, the assumption, democratic congressman eric swalwell joins us now, when it goes from your committee, for these hearings before the house of intelligence, that will be articles of impeachment that will pass the house, and end up in the other side of the court, in front of senator kennedy there. there will ask questions in this next round of three diplomats in the coming days. what is going to be different about this? cameras are in the room,

but is this just it is important that the president has due process. and evidence is not due process. we have evidence of using taxpayer dollars to ask a foreign government to investigate the presidential opponent. it is important that the people raise their right hands and face questions. the president is going to get that. it is important that the republicans be afforded the opportunity to suggest witnesses we should call, and we determine whether that is relevant. the facts are just as important as the process behind the facts, as far as what if anything goes over to the senate. >> brennan: do you expect anything new from these testimonies, or is it goes to be a recitation of what we can read in the depositions already? >> these witnesses have been fairly consistent, and for the most part they or talking to each other. but, again, this is america. these witnesses should come judge foelves, a

we as we will, as toes sen kennedy wasalking abo sterday aist of suggested witnesses they would like to see called. on their is hun bid hunter biden and their business partner,,. >> as chairman schiff has said, we're not going to go back in time. it was tom bosart that he was telling the president that much of what the president alleged in that phone call, president zel zelensky, was just nonsense. people have relevant information, and of course, we want to hear from them. >> brennan: so that is no -- >> i don't see any bidens, and witnesses have been asked about the bidens and said, that vice president

conducted himself with integrity. >> brennan: one member of the national security council, tim morrison was on the list, andur cmittee? >> we're going to handle that this week, taking up the republican witness list. the fairness is just as important as the facts. >> brennan: talking about the fairness of the process, one of the things that get criticized by republicans of democrats is that the outcome is pre-supposed. >> yeah. >> brennan: if you look back to your own record, back to the spring you were calling for impeachment, and that was before this whistle-blower ever came to light. so how can that look fair? how can that be fair? >> what was interesting about the op-ed i wrote, i wrote it to the president's interview with george stepanopoulis. if he was offered dirt on a foreign power, he would take it. i didn't know when i wrote that op-ed he was engaging in this. which is why i thought at that time, we have an up

coming election, and we want it to be pure and one that is above any questions, and this president needs to be held bolton, he has not been subpoenaed. he is deferring to a court dec t listen to, the wte house tells him not to comply, or congress, who has asked him to come and answer questions -- why don't you think we need to hear from him? why can't we wait until december -- >> we'd like to hear from him, but we have heard from three of his deputies who have provided consistent testimony on what was going on in this shakedown scheme, and the white house has told him not to come in. even if a court ruled in december he has to come in, it would be appealed to a circuit court of appeals, and then ultimately up to the supreme court. we don't have time, with an up coming election, that potentially could be compromised by the president's conduct. we need to move expeditiously and fairly on what we have now.

>> brennan: but why expeditiously. why can't you wait a few weeks -- >> it's not a few weeks. it is all the way up to a year. we also believe if the president believed that john bolton or mick mulvaney could offer testimony that would show he was innocent, he would send them in on horses. they can't. and it goes to a con consciousness of guilt. >> brennan: the house republicans have reshuffled their deck and added csman jordan to the committee. and i'm wondering what you think that will do to these public hearings this week? what will this change? >> you know, they could put johnnie cochran on their side to ask questions. it is not going to change the facts of this case. if there are going to be stunts, you're going to see that the stunts will be used by the american people against them consciousnf guilt and a lack of seriousness. i think this is a very serious investigation. this is an opportunity for my republican colleagues to reset and recognize,

also, they're not the public defenders for the president. they don't have to defend him at all costs. they can actually approach this objectively, give him a fair process, ask the right questions, and then make a judgment on the facts. this is not a time for stunts. >> brennan: you have been a presidential race contender for 2020, and we saw michael bloomberg say he may jump into the race, and what do you think that does to the lineup? >> it gives the voters some more options. i think options are good, and whoever emerges from this will be battle-tested. it will flush out weaknesses, and whoever emerges will be a very strong candidate to take on and defeat donald trump if he is their nominee next year. brenn: we'll be back in one minute with the new national advisor to presiden president trump. that's just ahead.

meeting since turkey defied the u.s. by invading syria, and president trump abruptly ordered american troops out of that country. since then, president trump h reversed course, deciding to keep some 700 troops on the ground there, down from a total of 1200 in all of syria. cbs news foreign correspondent charlie d'agata is in northeast syria with an update on their mission. >> reporter: u.s. troops on patrol here today making their presence known in this region. as we have watched them repositioning around oil facilities, their reach is nearing what it was before brumentd'president trump's ordeo withdraw last month. right beside their allies, the syrian-led democratic forces in their fight against isis. top kurdish commander moslum cobani told us not just yet. with the americans, we started a project

together, we are partnering, he said. once this job is done, we can leave. we don't want the americans to stay here for 400 years. but it is a job that has become much harder, and it saw kurdish protestorsn. hold a joint turkish convoy passing right through the same territory controlled today by u.s. forces. turkey and kurdish forces have accused each other of cease-fire violations, and publiccatincomplicating matters further, the syrian regime has clashed with kurdish troops. none of this would have happened if president trump hadn't given the green light to launch an assault on the kurds in the first place. general cobani says if the americans break their their promise again, the trust will be gone forever.

if you ask people here if they can trust president trump, they will say, it is not like we have any choice. >> brennan: that is our charlie dagada reporting from northeast syria. joining us now is the president's national security advisor, robert o'brien. good morning. >> good morning, marrying marga. >> brennan: diplomacy means talking to your friends and your enemies, having difficult conversations. erdogan defied the united states by invading syria, he is buying russia-made weapons, and why is he doing bad behavior? >> when charley said we green lighted the invasion of syria, that is absolutely false. the president made it very clear that turkey shouldn't go in. he said if you go in, we

may have to obliterate your economy. he did it in a letter. so the idea that the u.s. somehow green lighted tuey had 28
