Guests: Robert Costa, Jay Newton-Small
President Obama has called the 113th Congress the least productive in modern history. With its summer recess and the midterm elections around the corner, there is little time left for passing laws.

Joining us are ROBERT COSTA, National Political Reporter at the Washington Post, and JAY NEWTON-SMALL, TIME’s Congressional Correspondent.
