Sunday Breakfast Menu, July 14

Stephen Crowley/The New York Times

There is renewed attention on Congressional dysfunction this week as the momentum slows on immigration reform and Republicans continue mounting their opposition to the new health care law. Several party leaders will be in the hot seat on the Sunday shows, tasked with assuring the public that they have a plan.

Senators Harry Reid, Democrat of Nevada, and Mitch McConnell, Republican of Kentucky, had a tense exchange on the Senate floor Thursday over proposed changes to Senate rules that would limit the filibuster. The two men will continue that discussion on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” Later, Representative Tom Cotton, Republican of Arkansas and one of the immigration bill’s most outspoken critics, will be on the show to discuss his thoughts on how the House should proceed with the path to citizenship.

Representative Mario Diaz-Balart, Republican of Florida, has been championing a new immigration bill for months. He will appear on CBS’s “Face the Nation” to talk about the current state of the legislation, as few of his party members in the House are in favor of the bill. Representatives Peter T. King, Republican of New York, and Mike Kelly, Republican of Pennsylvania, along with Senator Richard J. Durbin, Democrat of Illinois, will also weigh in. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel will sit down for a one-on-one about the state of the Middle East.

Univision’s “Al Punto” will feature interviews with Mr. Diaz-Balart, as well as Representative Xavier Becerra, Democrat of California, about the immigration deal and the factors that would and would not be negotiable. Representative Robert W. Goodlatte, Republican of Virginia, will be on C-SPAN’s “Newsmakers” to talk about the same topic.

Mr. King will join Representative Steve Israel, Democrat of New York, on “Fox News Sunday” to discuss the prospects of the immigration bill in the House.  Later, Representative Michael McCaul, Republican of Texas, will talk about Edward J. Snowden and the national security leaks.

ABC’s “This Week” will delve into more contentious issues in Congress, including Republican efforts to delay implementation of the new health care law. Representative Karen Bass, Democrat of California, Representative Tom Cole, Republican of Oklahoma, Senator Orrin G. Hatch, Republican of Utah, and Senator Amy Klobuchar, Democrat of Minnesota, will debate the week in politics.

Gov. Rick Perry of Texas will give an exclusive interview to CNN’s “State of the Union” about his recent decision not to seek re-election, and if it has anything to do with a future bid for president. Gov. Pat Quinn of Illinois will also be on the program to discuss his decision to cut off paychecks for state legislators until they can solve the state’s pension problem. Representatives Raúl M. Grijalva, Democrat of Arizona, and Chaka Fattah, Democrat of Pennsylvania, will give a synopsis of President Obama’s meeting with members of the Congressional Black Caucus and Congressional Hispanic Caucus.

Bloomberg’s “Political Capital” will have a sit down with Representative Trey Gowdy, Republican of South Carolina, and “Capitol Gains” will feature an interview with Senator Ron Wyden, Democrat of Oregon, about the government surveillance programs.
