Week In The News: Cantor Defeated, Iraq In Crisis, Teacher Tenure Turmoil (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

Upset in Washington this week.  Eric Cantor’s.  And an astonishing unraveling in Iraq.  Black-clad, harsher-than-al-Qaeda militants streaming in from civil war-wracked Syria.  Taking Mosul, then city after city, sweeping toward Baghdad.  Where US soldiers died by the thousands, now a collapse in days.  Eric Cantor’s defeat by a Tea Party novice, an earthquake on Capitol Hill.  GOP regrouping.  Rethinking.  We’ve got more, sickening school shooting.  World Cup.  Hillary Clinton on a big press tour.  This hour On Point:  our weekly news roundtable goes behind the headlines. / Tom Ashbrook
