Listen Later

Guests: Jonathan Bernstein, Molly Reynolds

When the 116th session of the U.S. Congress convenes on Thursday, its first and most daunting challenge will be to get government back to work by coming to some sort of agreement over border wall funding with President Donald Trump. Presumptive Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Schumer are expected to play hardball over this, and a range of other issues – including investigations into the President’s taxes and business dealings.
