Tanks and no wonder the world wondered whether we could stand up to the forces of the nazis, the american presence really was the dominant force in peeling back the nazi occupation which went on for four years here in france. brian: you got to figure the people in their 90 s lied about their age. some lied about being 18. and they signed up and they went in. and they never talked about it. one of the major takeaways tom brokaw s book. nobody ever talk about the war they fought, the war they won. have you ever been able to discern why? lawrence: i think we lost martha. ainsley: do you think so it was because they were so proud and they didn t want to come back and maybe be boastful about winning the war? brian: or they just wanted to turn the page it was so horrific they wanted to get back to their
Thank you for coming. tip the waitresses. you know, we have i m going to call it a day. ainsley: by the power invested in me. brian: good night, everybody. thanks for satisfying my retainer. and the sad thing is the laptop is real and unaltered. that is the big story to me because, you remember they took the press secretary s kayleigh mcenany s account and they suspended it because she forwarded the new york post article. and then they said well, the laptop might be his but they manipulated it. the fbi says oh, by the way, his laptop and they didn t touch it. ainsley: and i liked last night during the trump interview, when donald trump said i feel very bad when it comes to the addiction issue for hunter biden. i thought that was nice, pandemic they thick. he said he has dealt with addiction in his family, too. his brother who died and he said he was so good-looking. he said he was so successful. and. brian: pilot. ainsley: the alcohol is what, you know, was his eventually did
Censure or sanction. lawrence: sponsor of terror. steve: bee just momented ago donald trump is narrowing down the veep stakes. who is still on the list that we know of? stick around. brian: covering the 80th anniversary all morning. live coverage from normandy, france continues. everybody wants super straight, super white teeth. they want that hollywood white smile. new sensodyne clinical white provides 2 shades whiter teeth and 24/7 sensitivity protection. i think it s a great product. it s going to help a lot of patients.

They want to put the stakes down in ukraine. lawrence: so, brian, i m sorry, ainsley, brian, to that point, what do you think the president needs to say today? because it s going to be a big speech? brian: is he going to ground it to ukraine. ground to the expansion of nato. ainsley: look at these faces. many of them are 100 years old. to your point, steve, it was 13 minutes ago that they stormed the beaches of normandy 80 years ago. and now they are older men. many of them in wheelchairs. some of them on hospice. and they were you know, they were facing the rest of their lives and did all of that for you, for me, and our country to end the concentration camps, to tackle the nazi-occupied france to take down hitler. steve: that s right. brian: take down mussolini. steve: martha mccallum live for us. when you think about the daunting task. so you had nearly 160,000 allied troops land today 80 years ago. and we have seen the movies.
You know, just a little nugget because it all sounds pretty damning. rich: what abbe lowell is arguing is that hunter biden s behavior in this era, this four year span, is not of question. what s of question is during that exact period in october of 2018, when he purchased that gun was he under the influence? was he a drug user at that moment? and is he he has gotten to the reasonable doubt or thinks he has gotten or pushing that reasonable doubt by saying at that moment the ex-girlfriend, i wasn t in contact with him then, i don t know what he was doing in that moment. lawrence: just grasping for straws. thanks, rich. he san addict. this entire period. he took a break when he went to go purchase a gun. brian: by the way, i still don t know why he needed the gun. the gun store clerk gordon cleveland says you saw him strike that box with an x? gordon cleveland, yes. ladies and gentlemen, i rest my case. that is basically that is it.
His name robert perchetti. he was one of those guys who loved to tell the story of what happened during world war ii? martha: i heard he was doing well before the trip. i would only say this. there is also a flight that brought four hospice patients who are world war ii veterans. they came n the morning and went back out last evening because they wanted so much to be on the ground here where they left behind so many of their brothers, i don t know the gentleman his family might end up saying he was doing what he really wanted to do in making this trip. brian: they land in june, paris is liberated by august. august 25th, 1944. the fighting and the sacrifice was overwhelming. ainsley: martha has a special the final juniory the 80th anniversary of d-day. available later this month on fox nation. thank you, martha. excellent job. brian: we will check back.
