Lindsey Graham and Jason Crow to join CBS Sunday panel

CBS’s Sunday political roundtable will pair Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina with Democratic Rep. Jason Crow of Colorado, setting up a discussion that is likely to move quickly from campaign politics to national security and the price of energy. The June 21 edition of Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan will also include Amos Hochstein, the former White House adviser on global infrastructure and energy security, and Kevin Book, managing director of ClearView Energy Partners, with additional guests still possible.

The program airs Sundays at 10:30 a.m. ET on CBS News and streams at 12:30 p.m. ET on Paramount+ and CBS News’ website. That timing matters because the guest list suggests CBS is leaning into the same mix of war, diplomacy and markets that has driven the network’s recent coverage, including the June 14 broadcast focused on the U.S.-Iran war and ceasefire with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

Graham arrives with a fresh political boost after winning South Carolina’s GOP Senate primary on June 9, 2026, a result that moved him closer to a fifth term in the chamber. He was first elected to the Senate in 2002 and re-elected in 2008, 2014 and 2020, and his current term runs through Jan. 3, 2027. As chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, Graham is in a position to argue for defense spending, scrutinize the cost of overseas commitments and defend the fiscal trade-offs that come with a more aggressive foreign policy.

Crow brings a different kind of national-security credential. He represents Colorado’s 6th Congressional District, served as an Army Ranger and paratrooper, and sits on both the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and the House Armed Services Committee. He spoke at a national-security conference on June 12 about Congress’ role in national security and bipartisanship, making him a likely counterweight to Graham if the conversation turns to war powers, intelligence oversight or the military’s role in an increasingly fractured global landscape.

The presence of Hochstein and Book points to another flashpoint: energy security. Their participation suggests Sunday’s exchange may connect battlefield developments to oil prices, infrastructure risk and how the U.S. should think about energy supply in a period of wider geopolitical strain. With defense, intelligence and energy all on the table, the panel is set up less as a general political talk show than as a preview of the fights now shaping Washington.
