Episode Synopsis

This week on Face the Nation, disastrou⁠s flash floods kill dozens in
Texas⁠. We'll have the latest on the tragedy. Plus, after a⁠ long week
lobbying for votes and cutting deals with his fellow Republicans,⁠ the
president spent the Fourth of July celebrating the nation's 249th birthday by enacting his signature tax cut and spending plan. But Democrats, and even some Republicans, ⁠are not happy with the bills's projected debt and deficit increases, cuts to Medicaid, and other provisions⁠⁠. We talk with the head of the White House National Economic Council Kevin Hassett⁠. New York Democratic ⁠Congressman Tom Suozzi joins us to discuss ⁠his party's plan to build on voter apprehension about the new law. Finally, CBS ⁠Evening News Co-Anchor John Dickerson talks to filmmaker and historian Ken Burns about his new project as America moves towards marking our 250th year.⁠ He tells us why the lessons learned by our forefathers still apply today.
