military operation in history. the president is going to speak later on next hour. that's coming up very soon. june 6, 1944 was perhaps the most consequential de, of the second world war, beginning around midnight, the d-day invasion code named operation overlord, saw more than 150,000 troops when the us, the uk, canada, and other allied countries arrive on five stretches of the coastline of normandy, france d-day and the months that followed helped the allies secure stronghold on the french coast and eventually lead to the end of hitler's reign over europe. but it did come at a very high cost. us forces suffered substantial losses at homo oha beach, some 2,500 american troops died on d-day in all nearly 4,500 allied troops it's confirmed dead as the years pass, the number of men who survived d-day is shrinking the few that remain making the journey to the shores of northern france this week to pay their respects joining me now from normandy, france is democratic house minority leader hakeem jeffries, who has traveled there to mark this occasion mr. jeffries, leader jeffries. thank you very much for being with us this morning. let's just start with your reflections, especially as you see what is left likely to be for these men. the last major commemoration of this day what's a serious, it's a solemn, it's a very sober day. >> and it's been an honor to have the opportunity to shake hands with and talk with some of the folks who the heroic folks who participated in de day or were part of the struggle during world war ii, which was really a struggle between freedom and fascism and it was a great cost and great sacrifice and many lives lost. and we honor and uplift them. today and always. and recommit to freedom and democracy and the principles that they fought. so valent, we, for to make sure that we can keep them alive mr. >> liter, this commemoration and columns as an uncertain future looms over the west to be quite frank about it, there is a ground war raging now in eastern europe, and there is a presidential campaign that very well rel, reelect a man who has questioned nato which is really the security foundation that these men at d-day fought and died to build, to make it possible for the peace that followed the wake of world war two. what does this anniversary mean in those contacts? >> well, the resolve that was shown by the young men 80 years ago today and they will young man 18, 1920. putting it all on the line for liberation and for freedom and for democracy on a continent that they had never been on before. fighting for these values. i think we can draw strength from from the incredible resilience that they showed. and also show the reverence for the sacrifice that they made. by making sure that we all recommit to making sure that we can maintain this rules based society across the world that certainly is under threat right now because of russian aggression in ukraine mr. leader, the president of the former president of the united states, after he was convicted in his trial in new york referred to what he called american fascism. >> in that context. i'm interested to hear your reflections on his use of that term. >> as we mark what was a day to defeat fascism during the second world war well, america is a democracy. >> it's a government of the people by the people and for the people and we have to fight to make sure that we can keep that going. moving forward over the next couple of months and beyond the fight against fascism was waged by our brave american him the roles joined by the partners from great britain and canada 80 years ago. today, which began the liberation fight at the highest level against nazi germany, hitler, and fascism. and certainly, i think nobody ever want let's go back to where we were on those very, very dark days in world history and again, i think we can draw strength from that resilience, from their struggle. certainly reverence for their sacrifice and make sure we can keep this great american democracy thing going. always and forever why do you think there seems to be an interest or appeal? >> some americans who support donald trump, certainly among for donald trump himself, it's very clear he has a specific affinity for strongmen, for dictators. why is it that, that's appealing to some americans, right now while i'm sure that there's gonna be a question that many historians will explore when they look back upon this particular period of time. >> i do think that we've seen over the last several years in important recommitment to the principles of democracy, to an understanding that democracy is not a self-executing proposition, it doesn't simply run on autopilot. it takes all of us to lean in to show up, to speak up, to stand up for what we know is right for class let's take american values and that shouldn't be a partisan thing that a democratic thing on independent thing, or republican thing. it's an american thing the mokgweetsi in the united states. and i'm confident that based on what we've seen over the last 248 years now that the american people will pull together in ways that are consistent with the founding principles of this great country congress. mr. leader, before i let you go, i do want to ask you about a controversy brewing here at home that actually also touches on history and the collective progress that we have or haven't made. >> and that's congressman byron donalds who held an event, as you know in philadelphia and he said, quote, you see during jim crow, the black family was together during jim crow, more black people were not just conservatives, but more black people voted conservatively. you obviously responded to him. he responded to you last night, right here on cnn, and he pushed back. he said nobody ever made nostalgia that wasn't the point. this is where are the media and yes, hakeem jeffries and a lot of other people are taking it. i'm interested to know your response to mr. donalds well i had an opportunity to speak to that situation on the house floor yesterday, and so i'll reserve comment at this moment. >> visibly because i think it's most appropriate that on this day, we give respect and reverence. and of course, remembrance for those who made the the mid sacrifice for america, for the free world, for democracy, and for the liberation of your and for voting rights for everyone. >> congressman john i really appreciate your time this morning. thank you very much, sir thank you. all right. coming up next here any moment now, president biden set

remaining world war ii veterans on this 80th anniversary of the d-day invasion. >> very few of those veterans remain with us. there were 73,000 americans who stormed the beaches that day. and we are getting a live look there at king charles, cnn's max foster is with us now from london in addition to being are international anchor, he is of course, also so i believe the title is chief royal correspondent, or at least royal correspondent. >> maybe i promoted you max. this is a somber day. this is the first time we're seeing charles and public since his cancer diagnosis, what do we expect from him and how is this day hitting in europe where you are? >> i think what's hitting is the names that you see behind charles. so this is a new memorial for the british veterans and those who fell. there wasn't one for the british there. and actually was ten years ago, i was in norman de reporting on the royals and my colleague at the bbc, which'll met one of the veterans are there at the time saying this should be a british memorial? a nic for the last ten years has been working with the spectra and who sadly passed away a few years ago to build this incredible memorial that's by the land as it gets permission. has get everyone involved in is quite stunning. but when you look at the names and you see their ages, many of them are in their early 20s and teens. and if you combine that with the fact that the only veterans that are able to be there now would have been 18, 19, 20-years-old. at the time of d-day. so it really drives home. how young they were that what sort of sacral? faeces they made as well there were even 16 year-olds involved with the navy and the air force, and the ai to lie about their age, to get involved. so it's a completely different era. and the king charles, his biggest public engagements since he got his cancer diagnosis. and he is involved in events as you can see, but he's not going to be involved in all the events because his doctors are basically said you need to go at your own pace and not put yourself at risk max it's hard not to watch all this and to reflect on where this this western order that has brought peace to our hemisphere for so many decades because of the sacrifices of these men it seems to be fraying and it's hard not to think about that context as we cover this and we see that we are losing. we call them, here are greatest generation and we face a, an uncertain future with putin having invaded ukraine a ground war in europe. and of course, donald trump, the republican nominee, has questioned the security foundation that built that piece in questioning nato. how are those questions looming over this event today as world leaders gathered to mark this occasion, it probably with the absence of president putin, the soviets of c a four in the war as well, and made a huge contribution and lost many lives as well. and he has attended these events before, but obviously not this time because the current war in europe is being perpetrated. of course by russia. and he was actually speaking about that yesterday, talking about how this idea that the us has allowed ukraine to use its weapons to fire into russian territory putin suggesting that could be seen as direct conflict with the way west he may respond with using nuclear weapons and also, we may respond actually other suggestion was that by arming western adversaries. so you start thinking about iran being supplied with russian weaponry. so it's escalating again, it feels like is escalating and he's the only words at this point but in the words of one veteran i spoke to earlier today he can't believe world leaders are going back to war, having seen what happened on d-day alright max foster for someone max, always grateful to have you. thank you so much all right. >> coming up next plus the staggering scale of d-day and what it meant for the free world the title turn. a free man of the world are matching together to victory i
