Walls Don’t Work. Social Security Does. Plus Bill Press with Congressman Earl Blumenauer.
Everything Donald Trump gets wrong about the Great Wall of China, plus everything Progressive Democrats get right about Social Security expansion. And Bill Press talks with Representative Earl Blumenauer about why he refused to show up for the State of the Union.

Eric Kingson
Progressive Democrats in Congress are lining up to back the first big expansion to Social Security since the 1970s. Our next guest says it’s a fight that couldn’t come at a better time.
Earl Blumenauer
Bill Press talks with Oregon Congressman Earl Blumenauer about the State of the Union address we should have heard.
