let's bring in our guests, maria car d c cardonas and frank buckley.elcome to both of you. >> thank you. good morning. welcome to washington. >> good to see you in person. let's talk about this shifting map. for the first time in our map, hillary clinton is below 270. donald trump above 200. a few more paths potentially for him to 270. are you concerned? >> sure. democrats should always be concerned. hillary clinton's campaign should wake up every day believing she is ten points behind. that's how you win. complacency is how we lose. i think where we are is she still has a lead. let's remember that going into the same weekend in 2012, barack obama and mitt romney were tied. he still pulled it out with a comfortable margin. she is four points ahead in the national polls, ahead in most of the battleground states. the hillary clinton campaign is leaving nothing on the table there. they are taking absolutely nothing for granted. her coalition will look different, a little different. it is going to be the hillary clinton coalitin, not the obama coalition. a

. >> let's talk about this with cnn commentator and -- frank buckley a foundation professor at georgeason university, school of law. also the author of "the way back -- restoring the promise of america." goorng to all. >> i want to start with you greg. first what we saw from donald trump jr. he retweeted a claim that his father survived an assassination attempt. there was no weapon found here. he deleted it. not before it was retweeted thousands of times. then there was this. while introducing trump at a rally in denver late saturday, reverend blamed the media for the attack. >> thinking he raises a speech of hate. tonight i think the hate raised against him caused an attempt of murder against him in nevada. >> donald trump was praised for the way that he handled this after the threat was deemed not to be a threat, and he came out and spoke and talked about the secret service, that the movement cannot be stopped. but there are distractions. what do you make of how this was handled at the next rally and by donald trump jr.? >> there was no gun, there wasn't a story. i don't want to see

want to be associated with them at all, james burnham, frank meyer, a member of people that had been american bolsheviks. he was okay with buckley doing this but he didn't want his name associated. even now the associate buckley and kirk together. >> you describe him as a fabulist, a stoic. >> i would keep all of those things. he didn't like modern technology. he hated the phone, he would curse it. he didn't like answering it when it rang. for him it was an abominable creation, jokingly i assume. he had no problem carrying his typewriter and at what point do we say this is technology, business and -- everywhere he went you type 120 words a minute i had the privilege of going through the letters and meeting maybe one out of a thousand has a typo. there were certain technologies he loved to hate an love to hatt he accepted. stoicism comes out of greece, so it is the time. go between the fall of greece and the rise of the roman republic that argue argue that e world is pretty much held and you have to accept pain and suffering. they are weird stories, very famous stories he fell into a river once when he was canoeing and he allowed

but william farm buckley used to have liberals on. i remember him debating frank zap pa -- zappa. we don't have those anymore, we have dueling bumper stickers. it's not digging into the issues. so i'm trying to get back to that, to that time, back to that era -- hot that time but back to that ideal, that concept they we really need to be well informed. we need to understand the world view and the perspective, and the sales pitch of both sides, of if there's three our four side, all the sides. and then let people make up their own mind. so that's the whole of our somehow. we got also less than a minute before we start so i'll check the news one more thyme and -- more time and be right back. >> we also have a live chat room that is free and no advertising. and i check in with the chat room. and they're commenting and using some kind of instant feedback which is useful. >> we have a report coming in here. >> cool. thank you. >> sue, who runs our chatroom, is english. he says it's 5:15 in england. our clocks already changed. sweet. okay. >> all the important stories we cover and the i
