    Bernie Sanders says Hillary Clinton is unqualified to be president. Bob Scheer says even if she is qualified, "What is the value of qualification if it always leads you to the wrong decision?" Harvard lecturer Juliette Kayyem says it's great that Bernie Sanders is finally getting vetted and that his statement made her like Hillary Clinton even more. National Review editor Rich Lowry urges Republicans to support Ted Cruz, even though there will be "a lot of people grinning and bearing it." He says the White Knight scenario of a deadlocked convention and Paul Ryan stepping in is a completely fanciful scenario. Exploring the Panama Papers.

    Josh Barro (Business Insider) moderates from the Center. On the Left, Robert Scheer (TruthDig.com, KCRW podcast Scheer Intelligence). Rich Lowry (National Review) is on the Right. Juliette Kayyem (Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, WGBH News podcast Security Mom) is our special guest.
