Capitol Gains enters its second week on air following Face the Nation. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., will be on the show to discuss the prospects of a budget deal and the impact of the automatic cuts.

Coming off a debate on Thursday and locked in a tight Senate contest, Sen. Scott Brown, R-Mass., and Elizabeth Warren will both be on Capitol Gains.

At 8 p.m. on Sunday, CNN will premiere a new GPS special called "Global Lessons: Putting America to Work" hosted by Fareed Zakaria. He analyzes solutions to the United States jobs crisis through the lens of several nations as well as creative ideas within the United States. Zakaria interviews business leaders and analysts to discuss how Germany, the Netherlands, South Korea and Dubai have managed the global crisis. One of the highlights includes an interview with Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel as he tries to implement a program for the city that did not pass Congress when he was chief of staff for President Obama. After exploring these ideas, Zakaria will reflect on the jobs plans from both Obama and Romney.
