fete. president biden is issuing that warning to america and its allies while overlooking the beach which is of norman de, as he uses the 80th anniversary of d-day to call on the global community to stand up for democracy. once again, cnn is live in france with all the development plus, according never-trumper cnn is reporting on team biden's plan to win over republicans who don't like donald trump voters that democrats hope could be the holy grail for president biden in november. and donald trump is back on the trail and heading to a reliably who state are very blue city, san francisco. we're going to tell you why the former president and some big tech billionaires are getting cozy. a hint evolve their giant bank accounts. i'm dana bash, let's go behind the headlines and inside politics you're watching the 21 gun salute on the beaches of normandy as world leaders gathered to remember the past in hopes, it will define the future. >> 80 years ago today marked the beginning of the end of world war ii the us led allied forces and a brazen air and sea invasion, some 2,500 americans died that day many of those fallen heroes are buried at the cemetery that the president and first lady visited today. >> they almost met. they also met rather with some of the last remaining rolled war to veterans they're all around 100-years-old making this milestone anniversary a final tribute to the so-called greatest generation they stood the watch so that we are families and our fellow countrymen and women can sleep soundly and safety today we are here to say world war ii veterans the watch stands relieved relieved by those you have trained guided and lead american world war ii veterans you, stand relieved we have the watch or you must remember the fact that they were heroes here that day does not absolve us from what we have to do today democracy has never guaranteed every generation must preserve it, defended and fight for it that's the test of the ages in memory of those who fought here, died here, literally saved the world here. >> let us be worthy of their sacrifice joining us now is melissa bell. melissa, you are on the beaches of normandy. you definitely hit the reporting assignment jackpot of the day. show us around this is the sort of vehicle on which they stood the watch that de in those crucial first few days into what you very well described just now as the most brazen operation, probably in the history of european military warfare remember that these shores, the whole of france, have been occupied by german forces, by the nazis. >> for four years. >> when those american and british, canadian soldiers from 12 different armies functioning extraordinary coordination and reduce amazing logistical feat but helping them resupply. they're leinz as they inched ever forward onto the shores of normandy. >> it was against the odds that these men case get onto these speeches. >> and i just want to show you what's happening around me done. are these people come out year in, year out with their vehicles maintained with love and care over the of course, with all ct are still in full fighting, functioning form as you can see there, the genes that allowed those men to be resupplied as they pushed ever further in two france. at this, one of the ducts that i'm standing on the amphibious vehicles that allowed the resupply of the equipment weapons up from the ship's who were stationed outside. you can see if people have come here beyond the solemnity of the celebrations that we've seen over on omaha beach this is gold beach where the british landed. there were standing on, you can see a lot more joy being expressed here today. these people come out dressed as they were at the time driving the vehicles that were driven at the time to pay their tributes to what happens here at years ago. and what we've seen over the course of law two days get up goodwill and joy, that's been shared by the people who've come out here. you can see the school children who've come out here as well. who drives maintains this dark one of the amphibious vehicles that truth, so crucial in ensuring the success of operation overlord the same year year. the reason on a huge expense der himself is that it allows him to come here. you're out year in year out bring some of these kids on board and what their appetites to find out what happened here 80 years ago a tremendous for the sacrifices, so extraordinary was the military feats there was undertaken here, and that's been at the heart of so many of the attributes that we've heard. birth to solomon official ones led by the heads of state of the allied nations and president zelenskyy here today. but also by the ordinary people who come out each year to remember what was done. >> noxious for fraud let's put in the name of freedom by so many extraordinarily brave. i'm very young serviceman. sum of those 200 veterans that are here this year, the last remaining witnesses, what unfolded eight years ago, some of them american done. i have been at work just 16-years-old when they came on to these shores medical a couple of them just two days ago, which means that they lied about their ages to be able to come here and fight. and if that is an extraordinary act of courage at a time, remember, eight years ago when they were crossing the atlantic ocean to come and fight in the name of freedom for people they hadn't met at a country they'd never set eyes on many of them. still very here now that is the coolest live shot. >> i think i've ever seen i have chills. i'm sure everybody watching has chills and also what a field trip to be a student to be able to go there and they're probably not that much younger than some of those in the military who enlisted in lied about their age that you were just talking about, who are so old now, but are coming back to pay tribute to those that they lost thank you so much, melissa. thanks to your team as well. >> and president biden drew over it parallels between that fateful day, 80 years ago and what he says that they are trying to achieve what he called the imperative of american and allied leadership against different dark forces today the struggle between a dictatorship in freedom is unending here in europe we see one stark example ukraine has been invaded by tyrant. >> than on domination. ukrainians are fighting with extraordinary courage. the united states and nato and a coalition of more than 50 countries standing strong with ukraine we will not walk away i want to welcome mike, great panelists. >> seung min kim of the associated press, zola and kano young's of the new york times. laura barron-lopez, epa, pbs newshour, and cnn's own, kylie atwood nice to see you on this historic de, incredible milestone of a de lambda is start with you. you cover national security, foreign policy for us. what is your sense of obviously the goal? first and foremost is to remember yeah and that's what we saw with all this incredible pomp and circumstance there. but it's also to learn from that moment. >> it's to learn from that moment and for president biden to have the opportunity on the world stage to remind folks of how important that moment really was historically. i mean, it was 80 years ago now most. of us weren't around then and to be able to speak to not just the american public, but to the world about the significance of that day. i think was really an opportunity for him. of course, to reflect on the history, but also as a political tool, right? to make very clear that he is still committed to the defense of democracy c, and two freedoms that was evoked on that day, d-day, and world war ii yeah. >> i mean, i remember i was there 20 years ago for the 60th. i was covering george w bush's administration and how different the world was then russia is not there at the time. george w bush was still very much trying just like his successors were trying to keep russia in the fold. >> that's gone right? right. and the gathering today is just such a powerful symbol of what president biden fundamentally believes this battle between autocracy and democracy in the imperative for democracies to prevail and has really strong, harsh words against putin there. he's calling him a tyrant, sayings, we will not walk away from ukraine even as the war drags on for two years. i mean, this was really a venue for him to highly said really project that message and a really powerful way and obviously not a political speech. but we are in the heat of a political campaign and we can't forget about the content tax in which he is saying these remarks. we talk all the time about how biden wants to create a contrast with donald trump. this is another area where he could really make that, make those differences very clear when you do have donald trump not willing to embrace the nato alliance in the way, or not even close in the way that president biden does and continuing to cozy up to putin with his rhetoric it really is a stark difference between the two men that the biden campaign wants project. so glad you brought that up because they're certainly there are differences between these two candidates on a host of issues, but it is so stark on the issue of foreign policies specifically their stance on what the united states stands should be vis-a-vis the world listened to a donald trump told sean hannity on this lesson we're closer to world war three now, you take a look at what's happened in the last few days and biden doesn't know what the hell does say. but all of these things, they're going to end up leading toward rotation. i'll get the ukrainian situation settled and i'll get it settled fast. it would've never happened we don't know if that's true. >> we also when he says he gets it settled, what does that mean? i mean, there are lots of follow-up questions to that, but what is very clear, again, is that he's still america first. sure. sure. it's actually it's it's kind of that isolating approach versus the approach of the sitting president who talks about uniting allies against russia's invasion. i think by drawing the parallel between history and the current moment, it's also sort of a warning to both the american people and those in europe and european allies as well. we know that their some polls have indicated a little bit of wavering when it comes comes to enthusiasm and support for, for this foreign policy issue. we also know and the white house knows just how, how challenging it was to pass that last aid package for ukraine as well when it comes to congress. so for him, it's about saying, look, you know, this, this matters and you only need to look to history to really see why they're still hill when you look at world war ii you also have many historian saying, look the us and the west took a while to really get involved in a united way. it got to the point where it was because of the lack of sort of global awareness and actually participating in supporting your allies. so here you can see the connection in between that and the white house. his argument of this isn't just about ukraine, this is about stopping russia from looping, taking over additional mean obviously, took the us getting attacked on its own soil many years into the war. >> and president biden basically drew that parallel in his speech. she said that hitler wasn't going to stop that nazi germany wasn't going to stop, and they were invading other areas of europe. and that was why it was a needed alliance to step in. and he drew that too. >> the parallel of putin, and putin is not going to stop it. >> ukraine, and that he is threatening other allies and so that was what he was trying to say as well. and i think that on so many fronts, whether it was that he drew so many contrast is sung min was talking about saying that alliances are key. and we have to have allies when we're facing laura, i'm sorry to interrupt. i just want our viewers to know that this is happening live. it's a flyover over norman, do and as we continue to watch this kylie, i wanted to keep this up, so i don't want to play the sound bite, but i wanted to just tell you that the secretary of state, antony blinken, who you fly around the world with covering him talked about something that i thought was really interesting. >> he called what the biden sort of policy is is enlightened self-interest investments. we made an others, the work we did with others that came back ten times, 100 times, 1,000 times new our benefit. >> yeah. >> and that's a really key point. i mean the united states didn't just partake in world war ii because they thought that it was the best thing to do. they thought that they should do it because it was in their self-interest and president biden said that the biden administration has been very clear that it's foreign policy is because they are pursuing what they believe is the best national security interests and the interests of the united states so isolationism that we see the republican party being drawn to the biden administration just doesn't think that that is the right approach to foreign policy, but that is some message o2, when it comes to democrats particularly that somewhere looking to see a bit sharpen debate, you do see sometimes democrats saying, hey, look, the war in ukraine isn't as again, pardon me for interrupting. >> and let's do this flyover the french president is speaking, but we just saw cut cutaway of the ukrainian president zelenskyy. so it's obviously very present for them. the message that is unmistakable just saying that you know, definitely has been clear in terms of when it comes to foreign policy. >> hey, look, it's not just it's the threat to ukraine. it's a threat to the west. i have talked to some democrats who also say, hey, also talk about how this, this is creating jobs here as well. being. when you send aid to ukraine, you also have domestic investment in preparing equipment and weapons that is going to go to ukraine, which could benefit american people. >> 101 of the sub plots in the larger question about what the the us role is in the world is nato more than a subplot? it's a huge part of it. >> and we heard during the trump campaign in 2016, during the trump presidency, a lot of harsh language about nato, saying you've got to pay up to the other countries, which a lot of people actually who are not trump republican said that's not a terrible idea. >> in his interview with time magazine, president biden talked about nato. he said nato is considerably stronger than it was when i took office and guess what? i did it i did it we, are now the strongest nation. we have the strongest alliance and all of america, all of history in the meantime, while we keep skipping over, is what the consequence of the success rush of russia and ukraine would be, right under during president biden's time in office, finland sweden did join nato, and that's something that as a foreign policy win, that the white house taus. so very often in his role in continuing to build and expand that alliance. and that is the warning that you hear over and over. and when kylee was talking about self-interests, that's also the point that president biden and others make about the imperative of the us continuing to help ukraine. because again, if it succeeds in ukraine, he's not going to stop he's going to go to other countries, other countries that are nato members that were there will be an obligation for the united states to send send, send our own personnel and troops to help and that's the point that president biden has been making. but you do see this growing isolationism in the republican party that has dominating, that, that is dominating the party in a way that we just haven't seen for such a long time. yeah. thank you for the great discussion and also to watch these incredible images happening live, right now, continuing the ceremony is continuing in norman de coming up. he was one of the former president's most loyal advisers. now the department of justice is asking a judge to force steve bannon to begin his service in prison. but first the star witness and the hunter biden's federal gun trial takes the stand with a personal surprising set of words and testimony for live outside the courthouse. >>

night on cnn where are you worried the wedding would be too much another destination wedding, five years my backyard within power, we get all our financial questions answered. >> so we didn't have to
