democratic senator mark kelly and two republican members of congress, ohio's mike turner and michigan's john james. and just before president trump's first formal address to congress, how do americans think he is doing when it comes to tackling their priorities? it's all just ahead on "face the nation." good morning. welcome to "face the nation." we want to begin with the issues that are top of mind for most americans, inflation and the economy. they may be at the top of their priority list for the new administration, but we are seeing a disconnect. when asked what they think the administration is prioritizing, americans see inflation and the economy taking a backseat to the border, the federal workforce, tariffs and more. in fact, according to our cbs news poll, although people do approve of him on some of the other issues, there's a 50-point gap between people who say the president should make inflation a priority and those who say he is. we want to welcome to the program treasury secretary scott bessent. good morning, mr. treasury secretary. >> good morning, margaret. >> let's dig in on this. i

we will turn now to michigan congressman john james.ood morning to you, congressman. >> good morning, margaret. >> i want to ask you about what's happening in your state with the economy and tariffs. staying on the theme for a moment, i know you have a lot of ukrainian americans in your district. you voted in support of last year's ukraine supplemental. are you comfortable with the trump administration's decision to stop recognizing that russia started the war in ukraine? >> russia is the aggressor. putin is a war criminal. zelenskyy fumbled the bag pretty hard. all those things can be true at the same time. we absolutely must stand by our all allies. we need to give transparency and accountability to the american people. under the biden administration, billions of dollars were given away with little accountability. no mission -- i'm a combat veteran. my soldiers expected from me that i would be able to articulate objectives, a mission and an end state. the commander in chief couldn't do that. president trump is doing everything he can

hillary clinton and james comey and john brennan and the intelligence apparatus and military working and contrary to president trump during his first term, they were the ones being lapdogs for the russians because when that fake dossier showed up destroyed his first term and try to destroy this man duly elected by the american people before the whole world, they used a russian assets and christopher steele who the british spy so the only people puppets for the russians are the left. everything they try to accuse the right of is exactly what they are doing. >> i would love to know these people were full throated, what is the end goal? and ukraine when? they cannot so they cannot win the what are we doing? how much more money we send? how much do we deplete our own arsenal to support your crane and an unwinnable war? what he understands which is why he's trying to work with both sides and come to some sort of result because he realizes ukraine cannot win this work. >> there's a lot to be said, and fired up mark kelly and seth moulton and these people are supposed to have pride to talk

we learned from the volume that james garfield, among the best of educated presidents, according to john hay, lincoln's secretary, he knew more about history than any president since. john quincy adams has total block, can't write anything, has a nightmare before inauguration day and then makes an eloquent defense of. african-american suffrage. so tell about some of those immediate reconstruction presidents as well. well, i was interested to see. well, first, i guess i want to make a comment lincoln and this doesn't i'm contradicting that's already been said but just one thing that i also emphasize is that many times people emphasize when they're talking about both of lincoln's inaugural addresses, his kind of concluding comments in both where he talks about forgiveness and reconciliation or in the first inaugural, of course, he ends i'm loath to close we are not enemies friends. we must not be enemies. though passion may have strained, must not break our bonds of affection he concludes with the better angels will be hopefully will be touched by the better, better angels of our nature. a

john, live for us in washington. thank you. thank you. basil. earlier this afternoon, we spoke with political science professor james taylor. >> to get his take on the explosive argument. >> back jd vance and donald trump had no to say the world is watching and we have to be careful what we say is the problem of this moment. and i think the list he walked away the winner and trump and vance looked really bad, attacking a country being addressed by enemy of united states and they're on the enemy side. >> all right. well, like taylor goes on to say that overall is a very interesting moment in american politics and an example of president donald trump's quote, unusual diplomacy. >> let's talk weather as we take a live look outside on this friday at sfo. some blue skies. yeah, unusually nice. so you know, it's on spring that almost feels like summer, right? there really does. vicki, i came to work with no socks on day that i am patient first time this year that that happened. and i just had to look, i was, you know, it really is doing in their 79 degrees. now in sunnyvale. i can't keep up with these temperatures are just popping up there. so high. i

john adams beneath him in middle th thomas jefferson, $50 ath him is,nder hamilton and above him, you can see the docks. and then to the right is james madison. so three of virgins are on, but also the first four esidents. so this is believed to be the only one to contain the first four presidents signatures on it. they all weren't at the declaration and they were at the constitution. now, most remarkable part of this document is there was only read discovered in 1917 nine when a school intern was going through an old vault in the philosophical society. he found a scroll roll rolled up with a red ribbon on it, realized, well, is probably above my pay grade to open this and decided to take to the librarian's office who unfurled it and realized they had a national treasure on his hands. now i often got asked, you know. so so what happens? they raised all this money. what happened to this expedition? i've never heard of andre michaux or this expedition, and i'd usually summarize it by what we wrote on our own. the apes wrote on their website. ultimately, the expedition was called off due to diplomatic diffic with frahich owed much of th

so, john, you have a great description in there of there is no thing as the common good this the common good is a constant process of negotiation and you quote james madison and of your arguments correct me if i'm wrong that evangelical christians particular have lost an understanding of the common good by embracing a by embracing political positions or particular political leaders. and so i'm curious if of you could answer, given what you're arguing about importance of faith to our culture, to our nation, how would you define the common good in rock and roll? do people faith have in pursuing it and in understanding government's role that because john in your book you're quite critical some of the you know a post liberal critics many of whom you know would like to see a more theocratic perspective brought to. and ross you've written about those folks as well. i'm just curious how each of you your focus here on unbelief would feel about the common good. yeah, i don't actually particularly use the term common good. in my thinking. refer to others who use it. the common good conservatives who believe there's a common good and they know what it is. bu
