President Obama will deliver his sixth State of the Union address on Tuesday, most likely tackling agenda-setting topics for 2014, like income inequality and immigration. Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers, Republican of Washington, will give the official Republican response following the president’s speech. Senators Mike Lee, Republican of Utah, and Rand Paul, Republican of Kentucky, will each give their own rebuttals.

Mr. Obama’s surrogates will be making the rounds on the Sunday news shows to give a preview of his comments. Jay Carney, the White House press secretary, will go on ABC’s “This Week” and Univision’s “Al Punto” to give insights on the speech.

Dan Pfeiffer, a senior White House adviser, will appear on both CNN’s “State of the Union” and “Fox News Sunday.” Even the White House Instagram feed got a State of the Union makeover, courtesy of Valerie B. Jarrett, another senior adviser.

Republicans will also be giving the rundown on their likely take Sunday. Mr. Paul will preview his response on CNN, while Senator Ted Cruz of Texas will appear on CBS’s “Face the Nation” to discuss the State of the Union. Senator Charles E. Schumer, Democrat of New York, who spoke this week about outmaneuvering the Tea Party, will also appear on the program. On NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Mr. Paul will appear again, joined by Senator Richard J. Durbin, Democrat of Illinois.

In two weeks, the Winter Olympics kick off in Sochi, Russia, but two terrorists attacks in Russia last December have sparked concerns about security. The Russian ambassador to the United States, Sergey I. Kislyak, will speak with CNN about how American and other athletes will be kept safe at the Games. On NBC, former Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff will also talk about safety at the Olympics.

Representative Michael T. McCaul, Republican of Texas and chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, has just returned from a trip to Sochi and will discuss his impressions on CBS. Representative Peter T. King, Republican of New York, will also talk about security threats at the Olympics on ABC.

In looking ahead to 2014, the House minority whip, Steny Hoyer, Democrat of Maryland, and the deputy majority whip, Tom Cole, Republican of Oklahoma, will debate what Congress can get done this year on CNN.

Back on “Fox News Sunday,” Senator Mitch McConnell, Republican of Kentucky, will discuss the Republican strategy for the midterm elections. Mr. McConnell is also up for re-election this year.

On CSPAN’s “Newsmakers,”  Tony Perkins, the head of the conservative Family Research Council, will discuss the anti-abortion rally, March for Life, in Washington this week and the Republican National Committee annual winter meeting.

The Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates will share his opinions on the National Security Agency’s spying programs and on immigration policy on Univision’s “Al Punto.” The show airs at 10 a.m. Eastern.

On Bloomberg’s “Political Capital,” former Senator Tom Daschle, Democrat of South Dakota, and former Representative Tom Davis, Republican of Virginia, also discussed likely topics for the State of the Union address and the upcoming midterm elections. The show aired on Friday, and repeats through the weekend.
