Week In The News: GOP Presidential Debate, Malaysia Airlines Debris, Clean Power Plan (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

The first great GOP debate of the season, and the mini-debate that preceded it. Trump uses the “S” word. “Stupid.” Fiorina gets a boost. Christie and Paul go head to head. On the Iran deal, the President has sharp elbows, but not the support of one key Democrat. Planned Parenthood gets a reprieve, but is still in the firing line. Texas voter ID law: it’s discriminatory, an appeals court says. And Jon Stewart has the curtain call of the decade. This hour On Point: our weekly news roundtable goes behind the headlines.
