The Presumptive Republican nominee spoke at the Rolling Thunder rally on the mall pledging to help veterans. More on how the Trump Campaign is trying to sharpen its message. Julianna, good morning. Reporter good morning. As donald trump worked the stage, his top aides worked the beltway media fighting back against reports that the Presumptive Republican nominees campaign is in a state of chaos and might lack the muscle it needs for a likely matchup against hillary clinton. I thought this would be like dr. Martin luther king where the people would be lined up from here all the way to the washington monument, right. Reporter donald trump stood in front of a smaller than expected crowd at the lincoln memorial. Do we love the bikers . Yes. Reporter and delivered a standard stump speech in an anythingbutstandard setting.

While in washington, his aides were playing cleanup. Weve seen this time and time again reporter Campaign ManagerCorey Lewandowski pushed back against reports that Trumps Campaign is rife with infighting and is being poorly managed.

He was Campaign Manager for john mccains 2008 president ial bid. Good morning. Good morning. What do you make of all these reports of infighting in the Trump Campaign . Sounds like a president ial race to me. [ laughter ] i mean, there isnt a president ial campaign that doesnt have infighting. They go along with each other. Look, a lot of power circulating around the campaigns that need to be distributed. And a Good Campaign distributes it along a broad base. And in the Trump Campaign, it doesnt have a broad base. So the power is tightly controlled at the top, mostly by donald trump, and the aides around him have to work pretty hard, dig in, and sometimes against each other to try and is there a problem that he needs or wants to have at this point when hes consolidating support in the party . Oh, dit he wants to be talking about a contrast with hillary clinton, especially the time when shes trying to define a contrast with Bernie Sanders. So its a sitting duck for him. The fact that he spends any time talking about his own campaign is really a bad day in the campaign. For sure this is not the kind of thing he want to be going through now. Along those lines, youre saying he wants to stick to the message and its off message now. Hes also criticizing fellow republicans still. So how this or will this ever catch up to him because he continues to do so . Well, the reality i think, and its hard to tell from the outside looking in, but i think in his mind, thats on message. I mean, he is going after all the establishment, whether the establishment is a republican in washington or in a state or democrat anywhere in the country. When he goes on a tirade and attacks both republicans and democrats at the same time, his base, the people who become the nominee of the party are high fiving. They love that. Its red meat. Mana from heaven for them. I think in his mind thats the campaign plan. Now, whether thats broad enough appeal to be able to win a National Election i think has got people scratching their heads. A lot of people scratching their heads. You heard it. Rick davis, thank you. Hillary clinton has left the campaign trail in california where she faces a primary fight with Bernie Sanders.

We come out convention with the nomination, donald trump is toast reporter on sunday, sanders pup in california. Asnt giving california is the big enchilada. Reporter and floated that clintons email investigation could be a liability. It was not a good report for secretary clinton. That is something that the American People, democrats, and delegates will have to take a hard look at. Reporter a hard turn from this line last year the American People are sick and tired of hearing about your damn emails. Reporter clinton, last seen in california on friday, was defended by supporters. Hillary clinton broke no law. She was mistaken. She thought that it was approved. If she was a man, this wouldnt be the same at the same level. Reporter california is ready for the political revolution. Reporter even if sanders wins, clinton could clinch the nomination. She only needs 73 delegates. Thats just 8 of the remaining delegates. Sanders says the democratic nominating sysis over 400 superdelegates came on board Clintons Campaign before anybody else was in the race. Thats not rigged. I think its a dumb process. Reporter for sander, a win would provide negotiating power that allows him to lay claim to the partys platform at the convention. That means he could also have a say in clintons decision for a running mate. Someone he would view as a progressive choice. Anthony . Demarco, thanks.

A fake band that become a real band that wasnt really really. See, now youre off in the weeds with me because i dont know the answer to that question. Do you think this could be your last . No. Well tour again next year. You are . Absolutely. Well tour until one of us drops. Then the other will go on as the monkey. Im Anthony Mason with Michelle Miller and dana jaco network.

Tropical depression bonnie made landfall yesterday in south carolina. The greatest threat was on the highways. Traffic was brought to a standstill near the Georgia State line. One driver reported moving just three miles in 3. 5 hours. Weve been telling you how the cincinnati zoo and Botanical Gardens decision to kill an endangered gorilla is sparking outrage. A 4yearold boy made it past a barrier and into an enclosure 15 feet below. He came face to face with a 450pound male gorilla named harambe. The zoo said the boy was dragged and thrown before the animal was shot and killed. The child was treated at a hospital. His family says hes home and doing just fine. You know jack hanna from his Many National tv appearances over the years. Director emeritus of the columbus zoo and aquarium and joins us now. Good morning. Good morning. Youve been doing this for over 40 years. Weve seen the video several times. What is it that you see in that video about the gorillas behavior that perhaps we dont . Quickly if i could say one thing, ten seconds, the hanna family, columbus zoo, cincinnati zoo, zoo world, this is a terrible tragedy. However, weve given over tens of millions over last years to the gorilla world. I happen to have a three miles rwanda, mountain gorillas. However, what you see, you hear the screaming going on, you hear the screaming going on, watch that gorillas response, by the way. He doesnt know whats going on. This is a silver back, not a female. He hears the response, you see from the face, hes alarmed. Yes, he looks at the child there. What happens when you tranquilize the animal . Whether a gorilla, whatever animal it might be, research in the wild with gorillas, ive seen what happens. I know what happens. When that dart hits the animal, you can imagine, the animal its like a shot, he jumpgs. What would happen he jumps. What would happen if he had the little boy . Ive seen a silver back grail take a green coconut which you cant bust open with a hatchet go like this. Beyond the strength that you even know. Choice between human life, animal life. You believe the zoo made the right decision. Obviously the cincinnati zoo said a childs life was in danger and a quick decision had to be made. It sounds like you agree with them . I i work with gorillas and seen them for over 35 years. I have a home next to them in rwanda, the mountain grill amp these are gorillas in africa. Ive seen this for 35 years, both the zoological situation and the ones in the wild, whats happening in the wild now is sometimes tragic. Ive seen gorillas with snares on their hand, rotting thuf. This is a medical rotting off. This is a millisecond decision. Were all sorry. Thank goodness a human being is alive because of the decision of the cincinnati zoo. Human life, animal life. What happened, how the child got in is not my business. We cant build 15foot walls around everything in the zoological park. If you measure our safety against other recreational things in this country, wed be at the top of safety when you take the amount of tragedy o injuries, were at the top of that with billions of visitors. Some are critical of the family. Theres even a petition on line attacking the family. I mean, do you think there is more that needs to be done to essentially keep people out of these kind of enclosures . We can only do so much. What keeps somebody from going across an interstate, what keeps ive seen children do all kinds of thing in shopping centers. What do we do . Where does it end . The safety of our visitor, animals, and employees comes first. We practice hours and hours every week. Every zoo in the country. The american zoo and Aquarium Association works every week, practicing hours on safety. We try the best we can. I dont know the situation in cincinnati. Im not going to tell you that nothing is easier in our country. We have a beautiful thing and educate people and do it in a safe way. We cant protect everything all the time. If anybody in this country can thing, musical parks, water parks, zoos, then somebodys telling you a fib because we try our best with safety first. Whats the lesson to be learned for other parents . Well, for me it is with children, you obviously have to watch children in a shopping center, a water park. We do the best we can again. The advice to parents, the zoo is one of the safest places you can go in the world visit a zoological park. Its one of the safest places to go. Watch your kids. We have children in most zoos 3 to 12 years old that come to our summer camps. We have several hundred that come to our summer camps and see the zoo. Were monitoring the kids all the time. Every second. Im sure that the mother did the best she could. I dont know, i wasnt there. Jack hanna. A tragic situation on all around. Thank you. Yep.

Stand by me a new study on cell phone radiation is raising cancer fears this morning. Lab animals exposed to the same type of radiation found in cell phones had increased rates of brain and heart tumors. Dr. David agus is skeptical of the report. Leads the west side Cancer Center at the university of Southern California and is with us from los angeles. Good morning, david. Good morning. This study found that cell phone radiation developedn brain in rats led to heart tumo tumors. Questioning how do they measure that specifically . Its an interesting study. This was looking at rats and mice. They exposed them for 18 hours to cell phone radiation, on and off, ten minutes on, ten off. What they found at the end of two years, starting five days after conception for two full years, what they found is that 3 of the males in females none at all, but 3 of males had glioma gliomas. In this study none did, but an interesting fact is rats exposed to radiation lived longer than the rats who werent. One of the reasons we might have than the control group. The study wasnt that well done. Why do you say that, david . Well, this wasnt a published study. The results arent going to be published for another year or more. In the science world, we dont release data whether theyre not able to be Peer Reviewed and studied. One of the reviewers who added to the end was one of the heads of the nih who stated, as you see here, i suspect that this experiment is substantially underpowered and that the few positive results found may be false. I think to alarm the public when the data certainly arent conclusive and are not able to review by scientists across the country is not appropriate and creates alarm that isnt needed. Its not the first time weve seen headlines like this y. Did they release it if you say that it wasnt a complete result there . Im not quite sure. They said that it in order for citizens to be aware, they want to release it. Over the last decade, there have been multiple studies that since 1980s when cell phones came out until today, theres no change in the incidence of brain cancer in the united states, in australia, europe, all of them there were studies done showing no real difference. If theres a dramatic effect on cancers but cell phones, were not seeing it by humans yet. The cause for alarm i dont think appropriate. I was saying we should note that gliomas are treatable. Gliomas are treatable. When you look at the big picture, the biggest danger from cell phones by far and away is texting and driving. Has nothing to do with cancer. Press skiesly. If you precisely. If you still have concerns, what do you recommend . I dont think you should be worried. Certainly you can talk on bluetooth in your car, the speaker phone component. Best of all is something that i tell my kids every day, have a real conversation with somebody. Good luck w good luck with that. Dr. David agus. Thank you. Thank you.

The kentuck won a u. S. Senate seat in 1984. Mcconnell has played a pivotal role in some of the hardest fought moments in modern politics from obama care and Campaign Finance to the current battle over the president s Supreme Court nominee. His new memoir, the long game, mcconnell reveals his childhood memories and lessons that resonate today. Senator, thanks for being here. Good morning. Good morning. Happily memorial day. Thank you. One of the more striking things you write about in your book is your battle at a very early age with polio and how your mother handled that. How did that affect you in the long term do you think . It was incredible what she did. I mean, she to watch me like a hawk for two years and keep me off my feet and administer physical therapy regimen that she was taught at warm springs in georgia where roosevelt had set up a polio treatment center. She had to watch me every waking moment for literally two years. My first memory in life was the thst visit to warm springs where normal kid and be able to walk. How did you feel . Do you remember . Thats my first memory in l. We stopped in a shoe store on the way back to our town in alabama and bought a pair of lowtop shoes. An indication that i they said you would be able to walk. I would be able to walk without a brace. Without her, that wouldnt have happened. She said shed have to tell you that you could walk, but you couldnt walk. It was an interesting dynamic yeah, particularly somebody that young. To try to convey the impression that you were going to be okay, but in the meantime, unlike the other kids your age, youre not going to be able to run around and the other things that go along with being a 2 to 4yearold. You see so much mental fortitude in that. And later in life, i mean in teenage years, getting into politics. We saw it, too, there was a great story in the book about you getting endorsements from high school classmates, going up to the head cheerleader and saying, endorse me. Where did the idea come from and how did k i was an underdog, i thought. I was running against the kid i thought was better known than i was. He was a better student. I figured i better run a better campaign. My dad said, well, who are the bestknown people in high school . The cheerleaders. Right. Or the football players. What was your snitch. I just asked them your pitch . I just asked them. Amazingly they said yes. That was half the battle. You have endorsed donald trump. Yeah. And does that mean that you approve of that you will hes done . Let me pull that you support all hes done . Let me put it this way, the average american is 3,000 worse off than they were when president obama came to office. The country is yearning for a change. My view is four more years like the last eight is not good for the country. He won the nomination fair and square. He competed like he got most votes. I think its disrespectful of the republican electorate to see im smarter than you are, and im not going to support your choice. What have you said to brian in regards to that . Hes still not endorsed donald trump. Paul has his own view of this. My view is the republican primarily voters have spoken. I know what we get with hillary clinton. Id rather take my chances on somebody new who i think, particularly with regard to the Supreme Court will appoint people that i think would be better for the country. Youve got the bushes who are not going to the convention center, mccain, not going to the convention, mitt romney not going to the convention. Is there a chance to bring the party closer together . If you look at the survey data, the party is coming together already. Simply the end of the primary season in effect is bringing the party together. Its a statement of that neither candidate is popular. Theyre quite unpopular at the moment. In the surveys i looked at indicate the democrats will ultimately gather because they dont like trump. And the republicans will rally because they dont like clinton. Neither of the candidates is likely to get a big, wet kiss from the american public. What would you like to see him do differently . What id like to see is a more studious approach. Studious . Studious. Meaning . Im a big fan of prepared text occasionally. Hes not. Hes not. Foreign exchange do you think hes going to go to that i ran into him at the Nra Convention that happened to be in my hometown of louisville. We were talking in the green room before he went on. I said, have you got a script . He pulled it out. I said, are you going to use it . He said, i hate scripts. He said, they bowyre the audien. I said, put me down in f boring. I like scripts. Does that scare you that he goes off no. I think what it will say to the public is, okay, im good at retaining audiences, but i know what im doing. He used to prepare texts to talk about energy. I thought it was good. He did it at the apac, american Israel Affairs committee. He has the capacity to do it. I think winning the white house is more than just entertaining a large audience. He proved that. I think the American People would like to see him fill in the blanks. I thought the list of Supreme Court appointments was excellent. Well thought out and reassuring. You talked a lot weve heard a lot and talked about the Supreme Court. Since you went there, i thought it was interesting, in the book early on, you wrote about the senate and having the sense of value for slow and steady deliberation. The type of work that depends on more patient diplomacy than on power plays and media and that just leads me to believe why not in the senate right now have debates over Supreme Court nomme . Why wait when thats something that you cherish in the senate . Well, this is the unusual situation. You have a vacancy in the middle of a president ial election. What is the history of that . Its been 80 years since a vacancy in the middle of a president ial election was confirmed. Go back to 1888 gloefr cleveland in the white house, to find the last time the senate, the other party confirmed a Supreme Court vacancy occurring in a president ial election year. Were in the middle of deciding who ought to make this appointment. So it is different although weve already decided, therestating president. Hes already there is a sitting president. Hes already made his nomination. Thats correct. Under the constitution, we have a shared royal shared role. Advice and consent means he gets to send the nomination up, we decide on whether to act on it. This president should not be able to fill the vacancy on the way out the door. The American People are in the and this nomination will be filled by the next president. Wed love to keep asking more questions. We must go. Senator Mitch Mcconnell, thank you. The long game the long game goes on sale tomorrow. An iraq veterans bittersweet comic strip gives fans a flap were you worried that you would get pushback . Yeah. Every day i thought i would get in trouble for it. Next, how terminal lance odor control worth celebrating. On this memorial day, we remember more than one million men and women who have died in our countrys wars. One iraq veteran wrote a bestselling book for those who served in wartime, lost friends or loved ones, or simply came back different. Carter evans talked with the graphic artist behind the white donkey. Reporter why did you want to become a marine . It wasnt so much as i wanted to be a marine as i wanted to go to iraq and experience something crazy. So for me, it was like, whats the quickest way i can get to iraq and join the marine corps infantry. Reporter was there a point you gotten myself into . As soon as i was off the bus and this was a dude screaming in my face, i was like, what did i do . This was a terrible idea. Reporter you may not recognize maximilian udiarte, but millions recognize the work hes created in his comic terminal lance. Thank you very much. Reporter he has hundreds of thousands of followers social media. For some, his message and drawings have left a permanent mark. Like the title of his comic strip, max is a terminal lance, which means he only achieved the low rank of lance corporal. He started sketching when he came pack from his first deployment in iraq, turning his experience into art. I found out there wasnt anything that accurately represented sort of my generation of marines. It was really geared toward the older generation, semper fi. Reporter terminal lance pokes fun at the marine corps in joking about the food or serious issues like training and promotions. Were you worried about pushback . Yeah. Every day i thought i would get it trouble for it. Reporter especially when he makes fun of those in command. Even retired marine corps fourstar general kelly was a terminal lance. It expresses frustration, lack of understanding, it extresses a lot of different emotions. I think its almost always spot on. Reporter no longer on active duty, max now spends his days sketching every comic by hand, drawing on his own experience to tackle tough issues. And this strip i wanted to talk about the general apathy that your civilian friends back home have toward your marine corps experience. Reporter in the first panel, the main character is preparing to join the marines. The second panel shows him returning from his first tour of duty. Hes telling them i just profound and life changing experiences. His buddy at home is in the same spot, looks the same, and says, cool, did you kill anyone . Reporter you get back and everyone is the same. Everybodys exactly the same. Doing the same things as when you left. Me personally, i didnt feel like i belonged anywhere anywhere. Reporter ben marchitell was also a terminal lance in the marines. When he returned from iraq, he saw his friend got shot. Back home, he couldnt stop thinking it was his fault. Eventually it turned into drugs and alcohol and other vices. A destructive path. Reporter he discovered the comic strip and the bestselling graphic novel, the white donkey, which takes on a serious tone with topics like ptsd and suicide. Reading everything that the author had put down, maximilian had written, it helped show me a version of myself that i rabb dealing with and battling for the better part of a decade now. I do truly believe that it wasnt my fault. I know it it wasnt it means a lot to me that i can actually say that out loud. I wanted to tell the story that really represented the reality of how combat deployments can go and how you can lose people that are close to you instantaneously. And that it creates a conflict that doesnt have a resolution. Reporter after reading the white donkey, ben realized he could turn his life around. Hes now studying to be a therapist. I have something that they can laugh at and identify with. Reporter max hopes civilians will also read the book to get a better understanding of the Emotional Experience thousands of men and women in uniform bring home from war. As has been voiced to me a lot of times, you know, sir, im glad they dont understand what ive been through. If they did, theyd of been through it themselves. Its better that they dont know what im talking about. Reporter for cbs this morning, carter evans, los angeles. Humor finding a way to heal. Yes.

Just like kung pao fish. Thank you, ping. Reliably fast internet starts at 59. 95 a month. Comcast business. Built for business. Before we leave you, thoughts from president obama on the importance of memorial day. The idea to set aside a memorial day each year didnt come from our government. It came from ordinary citizens who acknowledged that while we cant build monuments to every heroic act of every warrior we lost in battle, we can keep their memories alive by taking one day out of the year to decorate the places where theyre buried. The debt we owe our Fallen Heroes is one we can never truly repay, but our responsibility to remember is something we can live up to every day of the year. A federal declaration says the first memorial day happened 150 years ago this month in that does it for us. Have a great rest of the weekend. Im going 100 miles per hour.
