    Former Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie endorses Donald Trump for President. Josh Barro wants to know if Rich "Against Trump" Lowry needs a drink. Lowry says everyone is now playing by Trump's rules because he is the alpha male on the stage, including Marco Rubio suggesting that Trump wet his pants. Bob Scheer said Donald Trump is a moderate in the spirit of Mussolini. Juliette Kayyem said people who think Democrats and independents won't find Trump appealing are deluding themselves. Should President Obama close Guantánamo? Should Apple help the Justice Department hack the San Bernardino shooter's iPhone?

    Josh Barro (New York Times) moderates from the Center. On the Left, Robert Scheer (TruthDig.com, KCRW Podcast Scheer Intelligence). Rich Lowry (National Review) is on the Right, and Juliette Kayyem ('Security Mom' podcast, Kennedy School of Government) is our special guest.
