Description

Controversies this week involving the IRS, Department of Justice, and lingering questions over the attack in Benghazi have the Obama administration playing defense as Republicans call foul. What will the response be on Capitol Hill? We'll talk exclusively to the Republican Leader in the Senate, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. How does the White House respond after a rough week? We'll get the view from the White House this Sunday with President Obama's senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer. The chairman of the powerful House Ways and Means committee, which is taking the lead in the investigation into the IRS and holding hearings this week, joins us exclusively for the latest: Rep. Dave Camp (R-MI). How will the latest controversies surrounding the administration affect President Obama's big agenda items like health care, immigration, and the budget? What impact will they have on his legacy? Rep. Camp joins the discussion along with the chairman of the Democratic Caucus, Rep. Xavier Becerra (D-CA); Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan; and the Washington Post's Bob Woodward. Former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld joins us exclusively to talk about his new book "Rumsfeld's Rules" and to weigh in on the Obama administration's handling of U.S. foreign policy.
