This weekend, we're going to have Dennis McDonough, the new White House Chief of Staff, who is going to be making his first appearance on FACE THE NATION. Nobody's really seen much of him, he's known within the White House of course, and in Washington, but he's going to be making his debut on the Sunday Shows. He'll be our guest--we'll also be talking to Haley Barbour, the former Republican Governor of Mississippi; Cory Booker, the mayor of Newark, who plans to run for the Senate now--last night Senator Frank Lautenberg announced he'd retire and would not seek reelection, so we'll ask Mr. Booker if that clears the field for him. Plus we'll talk to Cardinal Wuerl, the Cardinal here in Washington, he's going to talk about what's ahead on the Pope front--this extraordinary situation where you have a Pope resigning. That's news--the first time it's happened in 600 years. So the whole thing is a fascinating subject.

Fareed Zakaria GPS
Australia's gun control experience, and Larry Summers on U.S. jobs

On GPS this Sunday: Is effective gun control really possible? Many argue Australia managed it after a gun massacre in 1996. Fareed speaks with former Prime Minister John Howard about Australia’s experience, how the country has managed to sharply reduce gun violence, and what the U.S. could learn.

“Now, I know the history of gun ownership in the United States. I respect it,” Howard says. “America has a Bill of Rights, Australia does not. The courts in Australia do not have the same capacity to decide these issues as they do in the United States.”

“So I acknowledge all of the differences. And clearly it is a debate that has to go on in the United States without people from the outside giving any lectures. And I'm not doing that. I'm simply explaining what we did, what our feelings and emotions were. And there was enormous public support, especially in urban areas, for what we did 17 years ago.”

Plus, how can we create jobs in America? Fareed sits down for a 1-on-1 interview with former U.S. Treasury Secretary Larry Summers

And in What in the World, some fresh thinking on how to deal with a nuclear North Korea.

Up w/Chris Hayes
The pope, the no-fly list, climate change

On Sunday’s Up w/ Chris Hayes, we’ll discuss the announcement by Pope Benedict XVI that he will step down at the end of February, the first time a pope has resigned in nearly six centuries. We’ll examine what this historic anomaly means for the future of the Catholic church amid an increasingly secularized America and Europe.

Then we’ll take a hard look at a series of security policies enacted since 9/11 and the ways in which they erode civil liberties. We’ll talk with Saadiq Long, a U.S. Air Force Veteran who has not been allowed to board a flight to return home to Qatar, to learn how these otherwise invisible security policies affect the people targeted by them.

We’ll examine President Obama’s renewed commitment to climate change in his State of the Union, and we’ll ask what specific policies, if any, have a reasonable chance of becoming law in today’s political climate. We’ll speak with some of the leaders of the national Forward on Climate rally in Washington, which begins on Sunday at noon, and which organizers hope will be the largest climate rally in history.
