March 19 Sunday Shows Preview

3/18/2017

 
Extensive Immigration Discussions Unlikely Given the Guest Lists on This Weekend's  Sunday Morning
Public Affairs Programs

Saturday, March 18, 2017

President Trump sustained crushing blows over the last week  in two federal district courts  to his efforts to impose a pause on the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program and a temporary ban on travel to the United States for persons possessing travel documents from six predominately Muslim countries.  Nonetheless, that subject is not likely to receive a lot of attention during the March 19th network and cable Sunday morning public affairs programs.

The big subjects that are likely to dominate this week's editions of the Sunday morning programs are attempts the House GOP's bill "repeal and replace" the Affordable Care Act, the submission late this week of President Trump's Fiscal Year 2018 budget "blueprint;" and the burgeoning investigations in Congress and in the Department of Justice of yet-to-be-substantiated charges that there was collusion between associates of then-candidate Donald Trump and  Russian intelligence officials in an attempt to impact the 2016 presidential election.  Among the headliner guests who can be expected to discuss those three subjects are Secretary of Health and Human Services Tom Price; White House Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney; Senators Rand Paul (R-KY) and Tom Cotton (R-AR);

Given the recent court rulings on President Trump's refugee admissions/travel ban executive order and the complete guest lists on the March 19, 2017. Sunday public affairs programs, however, there is likely to be a least a bit of discussion about immigration and refugee matters, as well, during the programs.  Among those appearing on this week's programs who might be expected to address those subjects are House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Representative Joaquin Castro.

A sneak peek at the guest lists for the upcoming March 19, 2017, editions of each of the five major broadcast and cable Sunday public affairs programs appears after the jump, along with previews of the likely or possible discussions on those programs about immigration and, refugees.

ABC - This Week: The headliner guests on the March 19, 2017, edition of ABC's "This Week with George Stephanopoulos" program will be Secretary of Health and Human Services Tom Price, who is one of the main architects of the House Republican “repeal and replace” health care bill, and Senator Rand Paul (R-KY), one of the bill’s fiercest critics. 
 
Also appearing on this weekend's program will be Representatives. Joaquin Castro (D-TX) and Will Hurd (R-TX), who serve on the House Intelligence Committee and will discuss ongoing probes of possible collusion between the Trump team and Russian intelligence officials during the 2016 presidential campaign.  And appearing to discuss the Trump presidency at the two-month mark will be Newsmax CEO and Trump confidante Christopher Ruddy discusses Donald Trump’s presidency as it nears its two-month mark.

Appearing during the political roundtable segment of the program will be Republican strategist and CNBC contributor Sara Fagen, New York Times White House correspondent and CNN political analyst Maggie Haberman, host and managing editor of TV One’s “News One Now” Roland Martin, and ABC News chief foreign correspondent Terry Moran.

Given the lineup of the appearance on the program of Representative Castro, it seems likely that the subject of immigration will be explored during this week's program.

CBS - Face the Nation: The headliner guests on the March 19, 2017, edition of CBS's "Face the Nation" program will be House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA),  White House Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney, and Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX).
