Previewing the Sunday Shows
By Christopher Peleo-Lazar // June 15, 2012 | 5:23 p.m.
President Obama and Mitt Romney delivered dueling campaign speeches on the economy in Ohio this week while Obama announced a shift in immigration policy on Friday. Expect the Sunday shows to zero in on these events.
Romney is making his first appearance on a non-Fox News Sunday show this weekend when he goes on Face the Nation. Romney hasn't been on the program in four years.
White House adviser David Plouffe will appear on Meet the Press, This Week, Fox News Sunday and State of the Union, where he will be talking about the president's announcement and the campaign.
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., will appear on Meet the Press while former DNC chairman Howard Dean and Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. will be discussing the 2012 race and economy on Face The Nation. Meanwhile, Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., and Rep. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., are on State of the Union to discuss the impact of the upcoming Supreme Court ruling on the federal health care law.
On Fox News Sunday, Sen. Joe Lieberman, ID-Conn., and former CIA director Michael Hayden will look at the status of the Justice Department's investigations into the recent national security leaks and the question of whether the country's security was compromised.
Tune in tonight as Fox News will present FOX FILES: The Enemy Within at 10:00-11:00 P.M./ET. Co-anchored by Bill Hemmer and Catherine Herridge, with commentary from Greg Gutfeld. The program will look at the November 2009 Fort Hood killings by Major Nidal Hasan. The special will include firsthand accounts from victims and witnesses. Additionally, Lieberman and Sen.
