i'm john dickerson. president-elect donald trump maid some key hires this week and shocked some members of the foreign policy establishment. we begin this morning with the new white house chief of staff, reince priebus, who joins us from the rnc headquarters in washington. let me ask you about the secretary of state pick. what's happening with that now? >> well, there's going to be an announcement this week, and obviously we know it's going to be general mattis and what a hero, someone that i think all americans can look to and say, we're going to be in great hands with this person that i think all americans look up to, one of the most decorated marines of our generation and someone who has a strategic mind, someone that's going to lead our defense department and someone that's going to clean up the defense department and help president-elect trump shape his foreign policy. >> dickerson: but what about the secretary of state job? >> well, that's a different story. things are moving quickly. i don't think

>> dickerson: yes. >> anything goes, hearing nostradamus, the eagle shall fight the lion upon the plain near the river of kesh. the year, we saw facts play, although we never saw them in a play -- it is not like many years ago i coined this word called truth thinkness, 32 truth-yness, i am starting to believe what -- rather than what you know the facts to be it is very important to say you know the facts to be and there is post truth which is not associated with the facts, as a matter of fact, one of trump's surrogates, scott 0 hughes said facts don't matter anymore. there are no facts. that's truly in a whole new world. that is before god said let there be light. that is absolute chaos. and that scares me, the idea that facts don't exist anymore is actually a scary to me, because if there are no facts anymore, then there is nothing to agree upon, and so if you can't agree you can't build anything. >> dickerson: you have to agree on a measurement of things if you building. >> what is one kilo, 1 cubit.

i'm john dickerson. we turn to the president-elect senior adviser kellyanne conway. i understand you just got off the phone with mr. trump. do you have news you have to deliver. >> he want to say hello and looks to joining you in the future as the president in an interview. >> dickerson: we'll hold him to that commitment. late me ask you about the theory i've gotten from republican officials this past week. the theory is once donald trump clears the electoral vote on monday will drop the skepticism russia was involved in hacking the election. what do you make of that theory? >> the entire nonsense about the electors using the russian hacking issue undermines our democracy more than any other conversation and we were struck by the disagreement and consternation this week. have you josh earnest doing things from the podium as press secretary telling us what donald trump knew and president obama in his final press conversation refusing to go all the way and say russia has hacked into e-mails that went ahead

i am john dickerson. for our political panel we have michael jackson duffy, deputy managing editor of the "time" magazine, this year's "time" magazine person of the year is donald trump. jamelle bouie is a cbs news political analyst and chief political correspondent at slate, i willly is national politics reporter for the washington press, michael duffy, let's start with russia and the election. what do you make of it? and what do you make of donald trump's response to the intelligence community? let's start there. i think there are, it is a shock and important not to overreact or underreact to either of them. the facts on the ground that the intelligence community has concluded that russia tried to turn the election to donald trump is deeply disturbing, it means that russia attacked the united states. and an investigation, a bipartisan investigation under some banners, john mccain said is inevitable now, but the second shock is donald trump's reaction, he seems to be implying or suggesting the both in hi

good morning and welcome to "face the nation", i am john dickerson. new developments this morning, a bipartisan group of senators led by senator john mccain have called for an investigation into russian interference in the u.s. election. this after the "washington post" reported the cia had come to a new conclusion, that the russians were actively working to elect donald trump. mr. trump responded to the "washington post" report in an interview that aired on fox news sunday. >> it is ridiculous, i think it is another excuse. i don't believe it. i don't know why and i think it is just -- they talked about all sorts of things, every week it is another excuse. we had a massive landslide victory as you know in the electoral college, i guess final numbers are now at 306 and she is down to a very low number. no. i don't believe that at all. >> dickerson: and we begin this morning with senator john mccain. >> senator mccain, you want an investigation, a bipartisan investigation, the president-elect says that this notion of russia trying to be involved in the

>> dickerson: welcome back to "face the nation." i'm john dickerson. we continue our interview with former secretary of defense leon panetta. we pick up with my asking him what he makes of donald trump. >> john, i think like a lot of people, i'm still trying to figure him out and try to figure out just exactly who we're going to have as the new president. he's very unconventional. and, you know, you're just not quite sure which donald trump is going to walk into the oval office, whether it's the, you know, the reality tv-tweeting president, or whether it's the business president who will be serious-minded about approaching it. so it's really difficult right now to try to get a sense of just exactly what the president-elect is going to be like. >> dickerson: and what do you make of some of the picks he's made for top positions? do they give you a sense of what his administration might look like? >> well, in many ways it reflex some of the positions obviously he took during the campaign, but at the same time, obviously he's talking to a lot of people, an

>> dickerson: welcome back to "face the nation." i'm john dickerson. president-elect donald trump is looking for a simple plan for defeating isis within his first 30 days of taking office but the violent ideology continues to spread. joining us is graeme wood author of "the way of the strangers." you spent a lot of time with recruiters, sympathizers and supporters of the islamic state. what have you found? >> they're idealist. i spent time going to their club meetings, talking to them over coffee, even playing soccer with them and first they're true believers and they have a warped rationality that feeds a belief in a utopian ideal and that tends to be an evil one but to understand them we need to figure out what it means for them to have come to that conclusion. >> dickerson: what is it like playing and you're right but playing soccer and having coffee with a person that by all exterior standards looks like a normal person but has the ideology that is so vicious and evil. >> they thought it would be permissible to cut my throat or standing anyone near

i got your back. >> dickerson: and we are back with senator bernie sanders. senator, just going back on this russian question quickly before we move on, i just want to get a sense from you, do you think the congressional investigation is sufficient or is that -- do you have any other thoughts about how these reports should be responded to? >> well, i think first of all, you need to get the facts and i think that is what a bipartisan investigation should do, and go out to russia, any other country on earth we are going to protect our democracy, the cyber security is very, very dangerous stuff and whether he not tolerate other countries interfering with in the democratic process in this country. >> dickerson: you have some issues, although we just talked about this on social security where you disagree with the republican, some issues where you could work with donald trump, we talked about this before. have they ever reached out to you? they reached out to some al gore, the president. >> well, they reached out to al gore, because obviously the former vice presi

. >> dickerson: do you have a sense of what his emerging foreign policy is? >> i think he operates by a kind of instinct that is a different form of analogies. it's more academic and he's raised a number of issues that i think are important. very important and if they're addressed properly could lead to big results. >> dickerson: you've advised presidents. one thing voters have said about donald trump is he has no

. >> dickerson: i think this is by the way part of a broader effort by vladamir putin to undermine western institutions and confidence and to split allies. it's a broader strategic question that needs to be addressed here and that includes i think the shoring up of the western institutions. on the responses you asked me about is there's a broad range

>> dickerson: we'll have to leave it there. for analysis on the russian hacking story as well as the deteriorating situation in syria we're joined by tom donilon and cbs foreign affairs correspondent margaret brennan. on the one hand have you a president saying he'll retaliate against the russians and the president-elect doesn't believe the beginning premise that the russians were involved. what do you make of that pretty big comment. >> i was struck by kellyanne's comments as i have been by donald trump's comments for weeks and months and reluctance to do which is what normally happens in national security matters which is a unified consensus. the obvious thing for kellyanne conway and donald trump to say is i want a full investigation

. >> >> dickerson: we're not going to get insight to the president-elect's thinking so let's try this, did anyone in the campaign have contact with the russians hacking the election? >> absolutely not. those conversations never happened. i hear people saying it like it's a fact on television. that is not only inaccurate and
