FROM Juliette Kayyem

Should mass shootings be seen as homeland security problem?
To the Point

Should mass shootings be seen as homeland security problem? Yesterday's massacre at a Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, was "not fueled by racial or religious issues." Law enforcement attributes 26 deaths and 20 injuries to what's called an ongoing "domestic situation," apparently with the gunman's mother-in-law. Devin Patrick Kelley had been court martialed by the Air Force for assaulting his wife and child. Despite his background, he was armed with an assault-style rifle. He apparently killed himself. Juliette Kayyem is former Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security.  She runs a security consulting firm, appears on CNN and hosts the podcast, "Security Mom."

U.S airstrikes in Syria: What happened, where we go from here
Press Play with Madeleine Brand

U.S airstrikes in Syria: What happened, where we go from here The U.S. fired Tomahawk missiles against Syria in response to this week’s sarin gas attack. Russia condemned the U.S. attack. What does this mean for U.S.-Russia relations? What does it mean for Donald Trump’s foreign policy, which previously had a hands-off approach to Syria and removing Bashar al-Assad?

Keeping the Home and Homeland Safe
To the Point

Keeping the Home and Homeland Safe At the beginning of next year, America will be exchanging one government leader for another, but one issue will remain the same in the age of terrorism: a mother's concern about the security of her children. As the prospective Republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump has a special challenge: persuading women that he's on their side. "I'm getting bad press with women but I think we're going to change that and turn that around -- lot of women are saying, 'we like Donald Trump because we feel he's going to be strong from the standpoint of protection on ISIS, on the border, on other countries.'" Juliette Kayyem is former Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security, now founder of her own security consulting firm and author of Security Mom: An Unclassified Guide to Protecting Our Homeland and Your Home .

Human Rights in the era of Donald Trump
To the Point

Human Rights in the era of Donald Trump President Trump’s UN Ambassador, Nikki Haley, said today the US might pull out of the United Nations’ Human Rights Council. Serious violators of human rights are members of the Council itself–and a US resignation could make things worse. Later on today’s show, now that he’s into his second term, comedian turned US Senator Al Franken is telling jokes again.

Is the threat from Russia missing from the Russia meddling probe?
To the Point

Is the threat from Russia missing from the Russia meddling probe? There's much being made about the Trump administration's possible ties with Russia. But the bottom line is Russia's effort to influence American democracy. Do the President and his aides care enough to take action before voters go back to the polls?
