0:00.0 | Good day. Sunday, June 15th. We begin this morning with a split-screen snapshot of where |
0:11.8 | things stand at this political moment. At the nation's capital, Donald Trump celebrated his |
0:16.0 | 79th birthday and the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary with events at the National Mall and a fireworks show |
0:22.5 | firework show that kind of seemed to not end. Despite some bad weather in the forecast, didn't rain |
0:28.0 | too much on his parade. The event went on with soldiers marching down the street and other members |
0:31.9 | waving atop tanks. While there was a decent crowd in attendance for those events in Washington, D.C., |
