Full transcript of "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan," Aug. 30, 2026

On this "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan" broadcast, Sen. Richard Blumenthal and Rep. John James join Margaret Brennan.

Four days after a glacier collapse triggered a flash flood in Nepal, CBS News correspondent Ramy Inocencio provided an update on the search for missing victims, including nearly 100 Americans. The Nepali army has rescued over 7,500 people, but nearly 3,000 remain missing. Inocencio reported that weather-related suspensions forced them to reduce aerial search-and-rescue operations to around 500 flights per day.

Of the 90 Americans still missing, most were traveling on a sacred pilgrimage route to Mount Kailash, where the Gyirong immigration checkpoint building was destroyed by the avalanche.
