The Daily Signal - The Future of ISIS After the Death of Baghdadi

The leader of ISIS is dead. The man who directed so many brutal killings, tortures, and atrocities took his own life in a tunnel after being hunted down by U.S. forces. What does that mean for the fight against ISIS, both in Syria and abroad? Today we discuss that with Jim Phillips, a Middle East expert at The Heritage Foundation. Plus: Kanye West’s full embrace of the Christian faith is doing pop culture a new one. We discuss his latest album and film.

We also cover the following stories:

  • President Trump blasts Chicago leaders in their own backyard.
  • Rep. Katie Hill, D-Calif., resigns over affair scandals.
  • 7 in 10 millennials say they would vote for a socialist; 1 in 3 are "favorable" to communism.

They made some very specific claims about MillerCoors beers using corn syrup in their beer they have gotten them into legal trouble. And finally, we round out this all-American ep with guns - a breakdown of the Dickey Amendment.

Reset with Sasha-Ann Simons - Lake County Residents Push Ethylene Oxide Ban, And Fall Veto Session Begins

Illinois lawmakers gather in Springfield today to kick off the fall veto session. Legislators are expected to vote on some big ticket items, including House Bill 38-88. That’s legislation that would effectively ban emissions of ethylene oxide, a cancer-causing gas.

Ethylene oxide was the gas being emitted from the Sterigenics plant in DuPage county before it was closed down earlier this year. Meanwhile, it’s still being put into the air by two facilities in Lake County.

Reset talks to two scientists from the group Stop EtO--that's “Stop Ethylene Oxide”--in Lake County. 

We also check in with Brian Mackey, the state government and politics reporter for WUIS and NPR Illinois, for a rundown on what’s on the agenda this fall.
