David French of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America react to the horrific news that the armed sheriff's deputy assigned to Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School was aware of the shooter and never went in to confront him.  They also recoil at reports the sheriff's office was specifically warned in November that the shooter would do this and that his own family asked the sheriff's office to take his guns away.  David details his latest column, explaining how law-abiding Americans should have access to so-called "assault weapons" in order to match the firepower of criminals and because our founders actually did intend it to be this way.  And they discuss the political freefall of now-indicted Republican Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens, who is facing charges of invasion of privacy in connection with an extramarital affair with his hairdresser before running for governor.

David French of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America applaud President Trump for hosting a dignified event on school shootings that included a wide variety of opinions from many anguished families.  They also slam CNN for letting it's town hall on guns turn into an endless onslaught against Marco Rubio, because he will not support an "assault weapons" ban, with one student even telling Rubio he feels like he's looking at the shooter or down the barrel of an AR-15 when he sees Rubio.  And they shake their heads at the news "Jeopardy!" host Alex Trebek is scheduled to moderate a debate later this year in the Pennsylvania governor's race.

Alexandra DeSanctis of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America are glad to see the Department of Homeland Security taking a thorough, pro-active approach to securing the 2018 midterms.  They also slam MSNBC's Katy Tur for being the latest liberal journalist to suggest Americans frame the gun debate as, "Kids or guns, what do you value more?"  Alexandra strongly calls out the intellectual dishonesty and rampant hypocrisy involved in that approach from liberals.  They get a kick out Newsweek suggesting that internet bots are really responsible for the ouster of Minnesota Sen. Al Franken, as opposed to his own inappropriate behavior.  And they pause to remember the life and legacy of evangelist Billy Graham.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America look at a bunch of new polling that shows America sharply divided on banning "assault weapons," in large agreement on mental illness needing to be addressed, and a majority now liking the tax cuts.  They also rip the Pennsylvania Supreme Court for redrawing the congressional map of the state, ignoring the will of the people through their elected representatives and making the map much more favorable to their Democratic friends.  And they shudder as fears grow that North Korea may punish their Olympic athletes for failing to medal at the Winter Olympics.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America have no good martinis to serve on Presidents' Day.  They shake their heads as two survivors from last week's school shooting label the NRA "child killers" and insist the group be disbanded and blast CNN for the leading questions that led to those statements.  They also groan as Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell predicts the GOP will lose seats in the House and Senate, which would suggest he expects to be in the minority after an election map that couldn't be better suited for Republicans.  And they slam CNN again for horribly biased questions to Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who is now demanding something be done about guns while scrubbing his website of language describing how he is a champion of the Second Amendment.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America welcome the news that Republican Rep. Kevin Cramer will run for the U.S. Senate in North Dakota, and even though he's not as conservative as we might want him to be, by all accounts Cramer gives the GOP its best chance to defeat Democratic Sen. Heidi Heitkamp.  Jim also details his frustration with the constant demand for a national conversation on gun laws when so many gun control activists have little grasp of the facts and little idea what the existing laws are.  And they react to Ronan Farrow's column detailing Donald Trump's efforts to carry on a months-long affair and keep it a secret, all while he was married to Melania and just months after their son was born.
