The shocking defeat of House majority leader Eric Cantor could mean a death knell for immigration reform efforts. Plus, the situation in Iraq continues to devolve. We find out what that means for the region. We hear about the LA Film Festivals efforts to highlight uniquely Los Angeles films and we talk about the bizarre way TV shows are trying to game the Emmy Awards. And we talk World Cup soccer, NHL playoffs, and the escalating criticism of the Washington Redskins’ name and logo.
