Hultgren Supports Calling Lawmakers Back to D.C. On Ebola Crisis [AUDIO]

Illinois Congressman Randy Hultgren joined us on "Riley & Scot" this week to talk about a number of topics, including where we currently stand with the Ebola crisis in the country. This conversation took place Thursday, so we were unaware that the President would be appointing an "Ebola czar" on Friday morning.
