joining me now, brad blakeman, former president bush senior staff, richard fowler, democratic strategist'll talk about the poll in a second, but, brad, first of all, paul ryan not quite endorsement of donald trump, what do you make of that? >> well, when you have to explain that you're voting for trump, by the way you can take an endorsement. when is an endorsement not an endorsement? when you have not endorsed him. it would be of more effective come out together and made a formal -- david: was he playing with us or slip of the tongue that he didn't use the word, endorsement? >> there is no slip of the tongs here in washington, yeah, that's true. >> it is clear when it was. when it has to be explained that is a problem. i would much prefer them coming out together. david: richard, this gets us right to the poll. this is why people don't believe politicians. time and again they say things that they have no intention of following through on. whether it is hillary or donald. >> i think you're absolutely right, david and i think brad is right. i think paul ryan should have just endorsed him

basil smikel, brad blakeman are back with me. we know where you stand. basil says no way. brad, you know, let's face it, he has had a rough go of it in the last couple of weeks and every recent poll has shown the challenges that he faces. he has done a lot in terms of trying to revamp himself, getting rid of lewandoski, putting manafort in. is it enough? can he change the game right now? there is not a unton of time? >> there is not a lot of time but the biggest strength of donald trump is being underestimated by those of his adversaries. just ask the 16 no longer in the race. having said that, donald trump the sand is going through the hourglass until the convention. after the convention you have only 90 some days before the general election. you must raise money. you must have organization. you must have a grassroots operation. not just battleground states but not just beyond there for insurance purposes. donald trump does not have a lot of time to turn this around. can he turn it around? of course it can. we've seen tougher races. donald trump has to get on it. trish: th

gregg: doug schoen, a fox news contributor, former advisor to bill clinton and brad blakeman. gentlemen, good to see you. brad, trump has maligned hillary clinton or using a teleprompter. there is trump last night using a teleprompter, carefully scripted. is this the new, more moderate disciplined, the new trump, kind of like the new coke which never worked? >> let's hope so. donald trump can be bombastic. people like to see that at rallies. but he has to be more thoughtful. less on personality and more on policy. if he follows that template he will be more successful. i believe he will be attracted to independents and reagan conservative democrats. we'll be look for a fiscally responsible candidate. running for president is not about them, it's about us. if he follows that tone like he said yesterday in his address, which was teleprompted. less about personality, more about policy. gregg: donald trump loves to be donald trump. in his work for him until it didn't work with his comments about the federal judge. and the criticism from prominent gop leaders was deafening. does he

bush, brad blakeman. brad, june 15th on facebook, at 1:12 p.m., you wrote i am for reasonable gun controls. that's blasphemy in republican circles. >> shouldn't be. look, our laws should be revisited from time to time, especially ones that are so critical to who we are as americans. the second amendment is not so sanctified that it can't be looked at once in awhile. doesn't mean you are taking people's rights away. it means americans are safe in their ownership of guns. >> as you look at most of the proposals we are hearing on capitol hill, certainly the ones that have any chance of passing here, none of them would have prevented newtown, orlando or san bernardino. so is it worth having a debate about these issues that wouldn't have kept us safe in the past? >> we don't know what's coming. it doesn't really matter whether it would have prevented any of those attacks. but would it provide a protection for attacks in the future. perhaps it might. but reasonable gun control measures should be debated. that's

julian epstein former counsel for house judiciary under democrats and we have the brad blakeman, formereputy assistant to president george w. bush. thanks for joining us. >> thanks for having us. heather: let's start with the first poll, eligible voters. 44% for sanders, 43% for clinton. perhaps even more troubling, just back in march, clinton was in the lead by nine points. so why is her popularity, why are her numbers dropping, julien? >> well, her numbers are dropping because she is in the middle of a very intense primary campaign. bernie sanders has proven to be very effective candidate, a popular candidate with his message, a very left mess ages. she will likely win not just because of likely voters numbers but because of early vote numbers where she is way ahead probably by about 10 points. whatever happens in california, there will be a split of delegates. that won't matter too much. she will get delegates she needs out the new jersey primary that will put her over the top. she will be presumptive nominee, the party will surely come together. the rifts inside of the democratic ar

brad blakeman, former george w. bush senior advisor. thanks to both of you for joining us. brad, i mean you heard what hillary says. this underscores the need for calm experienced leadership in the white house and profoundly different from a vote for who should be commander-in-chief, i hope, i hope. right, brad? >> sounds like the brits were making britain great again. look, if they don't get the fact that there is a wave around the world to get away from this group think, the individual is what's important. governments are not listening to the individual. not only in our country but apparently across the pond as well. this should be a shot over the bow of hillary clinton to understand that what we're seeing in america and what has captured the attention of americans with donald trump is actually something that goes beyond our borders. so there are lessons to be learned here. melissa: joe, if you watch the reports about, i mean from everything from president obama saying you will go to the back of the queue to cameron saying we're going to have to raise taxes, we're going to
