Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Countering the CCP's Exploitation of U.S. Academic Research
Q: How do you balance security with the openness needed for research and attracting international talent?
The goal is to protect critical research while not deterring legitimate international collaboration; policies should safeguard sensitive areas like AI and nuclear materials, while still welcoming foreign students and researchers who pose no risk.
Countering the CCP's Exploitation of U.S. Academic Research
Q: What progress have you seen in universities adopting clearer guardrails and reporting requirements?
There has been measurable progress in reporting requirements and some universities ending joint programs that benefit the PLA, but funding streams and collaborations still need tighter alignment and ongoing oversight to prevent backsliding.
Previewing the NATO Summit in Ankara
Q: What more can and should Congress do regarding defense articles and force posture in Europe?
Congress should consider tightening restrictions on the withdrawal of key battlefield capabilities like BCTs, ensuring that posture decisions align with deterrence needs rather than political optics.
Previewing the NATO Summit in Ankara
Q: What is the status of the NATO 3.0 review and how might it affect force posture in Europe vs the Pacific?
The 3.0 review is largely vague but designed to emphasize Europe stepping up while the U.S. maintains key capabilities; changes are expected to be paced to match European capability growth and not undermine deterrence.
Previewing the NATO Summit in Ankara
Q: Given the president's remarks about allied response on Iran, is NATO facing a crisis or is the rhetoric a distraction?
There is tension and rhetoric, but the alliance remains a structurally strong asset; the real question is whether European allies can meet burden-sharing commitments in practice, and how U.S. posture can incentivize credible European defense capabilities.
