The McLaughlin Group (11.28)

FULL EPISODE

My time linked comments:

NASA is crucial for science, deserves funding, and inspires Americans of the future

Hundreds of Billions of Galaxies!

The gain of government expenditure on NASA - noting Cold War

NASA space exploration inspires students in math/science +  NASA does cutting edge research

Discovery of water on Mars suggests life in Universe

Calling a 'Millennial alert' on my wiser fellow panelists! Noting that students should read more classical philosophy and less Gramsci/Edward Said

Deal with racists by getting in their face, rather than demanding 'safe spaces'

Colleges should not be 'safe spaces', but rather places for robust philosophical debate

We must support our friends and debate political extremists into a wilderness of intellectual defeat

Star Trek will succeed in 2017 online-TV reboot - many issues - ISIS, social issues, poverty etc. to discuss

Why I love Star Trek - and why liberals and conservatives should also love Star Trek! (also noting Vulcan sense of humor)

Agreeing with Pat that the market will define whether Star Trek is accessible

PREDICTION: 2016 will be a challenging year for France re: social tensions, M. Le Pen etc.

Fox News

My time linked comments:

US should accept some refugees but must address source: the Syrian civil war

Good exchange with Pat on Russian strategy, Assad, and the Sunni Monarchies vs. Iran

We should exert pressure on Russia to push Assad out - Russia's key= Mediterranean access

Arguing for squadron-size SOF deployments* in air-strike escalation + KEY need to support Sunni-Arab tribes in Western Iraq/Eastern Syria in re-appropriating anti-ISIS fight under Sunni banner

Criticizing President Obama's argument that the Islamic State is ''contained''

Exchange with Pat about the risks of relying on Iran/proxies to lead counter-ISIS fight

On EU-nationalism tensions, and the importance of UK membership of the EU, for the US

Where Hillary Clinton is vulnerable on campaign finance

Voters will choose GOP for national security reasons post-Paris attacks

* - See my National Review from June and my warnings that a Paris-style attack was likely
