their lives in combat on our behalf, and today i ask you to remember their stories, as well. >> the president went on to praise the heroic actions of the three men. critics have accused the administration of avoiding the word combat. in a recent interview the president acknowledged our troops in iraq will sometimes face combat situations. now to the race for the white house and bernie sanders holding another massive rally in california. an estimated 20,000 people turned out to see sanders. this is in oakland but halfway through his speech, a group of protesters rushed the stage. the secret service quickly intervened leading away four people in handcuffs. sanders did continue fairly unruffled. he has a string of rallies lined up before next tuesday's primary and is expected to draw some more big crowds. >> i've been just amazed by the kind of turnouts we've seen in california and the energy behind those turnouts, and if we go in there with a lot of momentum, i would obviously hope to come out with the nomination. >> well, hillary clinton is taking notice as sanders

barnstorms the state. she canceled a new jersey appearance set for this thursday. instead clinton will campaign in california right up until the primary a week from today. a much anticipated announcement expected today from donald trump. he plans to reveal the names of the veterans groups that benefited from $6 million that he says he raised for vets. the trump camp said it took a long time to distribute the funds because the organizations had to be properly vetted. things are back to normal at the white house after a security breach. the secret service ordered a lockdown after a metal object was thrown over the white house fence. a woman was taken into custody immediately afterward and emergency crews then swept the grounds and determined there was no danger. we're learning more about the suspected gunman in that houston shooting rampage which left one person dead. police say dionisio garza entered an auto detailing shop and started shooting killing a customer, then he walked into the neighborhood and began

seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt & pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding. both made switching to eliquis right for me. ask your doctor if it's right for you. music: "pretty woman" with♪roy orbison of course you go all out for date night... ♪ ...even if you're just staying in. ♪ walgreens has all the beauty products you need for whatever makes you feel beautiful. walgreens. at the corner of happy and healthy. i'vand i'm doing just fine. allergies. claritin provides 24-hour relief of symptoms that can be triggered by over 200 allergens. yeah, over 200 allergens!
