Encounter

AFTER SAN BERNARDINO In the wake of the terrorist attack in San Bernardino, California, US President Barack Obama made a rare Oval Office address to reassure the American people that the government has an effective strategy to defeat the so-called Islamic State group. On this edition of Encounter, host Carol Castiel speaks with Jim Kessler, Senior Vice President for Policy at Third Way, and Steven Bucci, Director of the Center for Foreign and National Security Policy at The Heritage Foundation, who debate the Obama administration’s approach as well as discuss alternative proposals by both Democratic and Republican critics.
