Sunday Talk Shows
NBC's ''Meet the Press''- Sen. John McCain will join us live from Cairo
“Gang of Six” negotiations: Sen. Kent Conrad (D-N.D.); Sen. Tom Coburn
With the economy front and center, the 2012 campaign comes into view as the president hits the road for a series of town hall meetings and campaign fundraisers.

Meanwhile, businessman Donald Trump is emerging as the president's chief antagonist. How will this story line play out? Our roundtable: Columnist for the New York Times and author of the new book "The Social Animal," David Brooks; columnist for the Washington Post, Eugene Robinson; Republican strategist, Alex Castellanos; and former communications director for President Obama, Anita Dunn.

CBS Face the Nation -Fixing Congress; budget battles: Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.); Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.); Sen. Christopher A. Coons (D-Del.); Rep. Tim Griffin (R-Ark.); Rep. Joe Walsh (R-Ill.).

ABC "This Week"- The Rev. Franklin Graham, Pastor Tim Keller and the Rev. Al Sharpton

This Easter Sunday, evangelical leader Franklin Graham, leader of Samaritan's Purse and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, sits down with Christiane Amanpour in a "This Week" exclusive. During this season of rebirth, has America lost its faith?

And what is the role of God in government and politics? Cokie and Steve Roberts, the Rev. Al Sharpton, Richard Land of the Southern Baptist Convention, and Eboo Patel, founder of the Interfaith Youth Core. Plus, the inspiring story of Vy Higginsen who is resurrecting a community through song, teaching Gospel music to teens. The Gospel Teen Choir gives a powerful performance.

CNN's ''State of the Union''- Sen. John McCain will join Candy live from Cairo to give his first hand assessment of the fighting on the ground in Libya, where he met with rebel leaders in Benghazi on Friday.

The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff says the push to topple Gadhafi is grinding to a stalemate; Defense Secretary Robert Gates says a stalemate is possible. So how much should the U.S. and NATO do? We'll ask Sens. Joseph Lieberman and Lindsey Graham.

Then, former NATO Supreme Allied Commander Gen. George Joulwan (Ret.) and former Under Secretary of State Nicholas Burns on the impact the fighting might have on the region.

''Fox News Sunday''- New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. 2012 presidential elections: former Sen. Rick Santorum

GPS with Fareed Zakaria- Budget battles and how to succeed at life.
On GPS this week, just how bad are our budget, debt and deficit problems? Former Secretaries of the Treasury Paul O’Neill and Bob Rubin - one from each side of the aisle - offer their opinions. So whose plan will fix it: President Obama’s? Representative Ryan’s? The Deficit Commission’s? None of the above? Tune in for their thoughts (and thank you for your question suggestions on Facebook and Twitter).

Next up, what in the world? What powerful Washington official is behind a pseudonymous article - signed “Mr. Y” - that calls for a re-ordering of American priorities and a de-emphasis on military power? Watch and find out the surprising answer.

Then, New York Times columnist David Brooks steps away from political punditry to tell us how to succeed. It’s a topic he’s been studying for years and he lays out the traits and characteristics of those who’ve done well in business, in politics, in life and in love. Do you have what it takes?

Finally, for your next party or conference, instead of renting a hotel, a yacht or a piazza…how about renting an entire nation? Yes, you can.

C-SPAN’s “Newsmakers”- Gil Kerlikowske, director of the U.S. Office of National Drug Control Strategy, who’ll discuss the Obama administration’s new plan to clamp down on prescription drug abuse. He’ll be interviewed by Alicia Caldwell of The Associated Press and Halimah Abdullah of McClatchy Newspapers.
