The fallen on this memorial day weekend. From abc news, its this week here now chief white house correspondent, jonathan carl. Good morning, and thank you for joining us on this memorial day weekend. Donald trump and Hillary Clinton started the week off by making history. Setting a new low as the two most unpopular president ial front runners since the dawn of political polling. And by the end of the week, they appear to have actually made it worse. Both now facing real questions that cut to the core of their campaigns, and whether they can unite their parties and to the country this fall. We got the nomination yesterday, right, we have the nomination. So were number one. It was the week donald trump went over the top. Hitting the magic number of 1,237 delegates to clench the republican nomination. Weve won the nomination. Big. By numbers that you care. We were supposed to be, in july, in cleveland fighting for our lives. But it didnt exactly look like a victory lap. First trump contin

Kenneth timmerman argues that the benghazi attack was an iranian statesponsored terrorist action pulled off by professional fighters. He says the scandal will end up being worse for president obama than the iran contra scandal was for president reagan. This is about 50 minutes. [applause] well, thank you, mark, for those kind words. Thank you, david, for this invitation. Its a pleasure to be back here again in this gathering. Benghazi was a night of a heroes of heroes, of heroism, and it was a night of cowardice. The heroes were the navy seals, former navy seals, ty woods, Glenn Doherty, who put their lives on the line to save their fellow americans that night. Those who acted with cowardice did so far away from benghazi in washington d. C. Failing to live up, in my opinion, to their legal, moral and also political responsibilities. The two people in washington who i believe have the grea

This is a time to wait for the speaker of the house to come to him and ask for a meeting. When will that be . When the mail from folks back home continues to have angry kplat they cant get government to do anything, cant get them to open the gates of the National Parks, cant get them to send paychecks, cant get them to do for what citizens have a right to demand they do. Its when those letters begin barking up the congressmans office that the gentleman or gentlelady will start to wonder if shutting down the government was as nifty an idea as ted cruz told them it would be. They will then pull aside the speaker asking if it might be possible the tea party hayride had all the fun its likely to have this fall and time for it to head back to the barn. So stand tough, mr.

Government to shut down and who was it that demanded as a price for the passage of a continuing resolution the destruction of the Affordable Care act . Ted cruz. The man whos now standing back and watching the government crash in. Within the last hour, president obama met with the congressional leaders of both parties at the white house. Howard, lets talk about the setup before tonight. Where are we with this speaker of the house . Hes got the heat on his back. On his backside. Lets be blunt here. Hes facing a tremendous torture. You can see it in his face. How long will it take for th
