He said not only do you not understand what world war ii is about, you embrace the values that we fought against. i mean, you cannot be clearer than that, and one of the things that the polls show is that maybe people are not enamored of joe biden, maybe they think he s old, but the people who have distaste for donald trump are just not going to vote for him. and even people who don t like biden very much are so repelled by trump that they re going to vote for biden anyway. i think drawing the contrast, and you couldn t have drawn the contrast more clearly today to have president biden in pointe du hoc talking about democratic values and donald trump talking last night about attacking his enemies. so mark, in that same piece, susan glasser also asks this. does anyone remember trump in helsinki in 2018 tripping over himself as he took putin s word over that of american intelligence agencies or trump in france for another set of world war commemorations later
Adversaries can inflict enormous damage on the united states through both old traditional means, but also by electronic means, and we re having a very hard time coming together just to defend ourselves let alone our interests overseas, ana. and mark, president biden we know chose the location of this speech, pointe du hoc very carefully because of reagan s famous remarks 40 years ago there, amid a struggling re-election campaign, and the new york times put it like this, quote, if there is something audacious about mr. biden, a staunch democrat who was no friend of mr. reagan s in the 1980s, summoning the spirit of the republican legend, it speaks to the up is down, black is white nature of politics in today s america. mark, remind us why reagan s 1984 speech was so impactful and what it means for president biden today. ana, one of the central
Actually at one of the events with joe biden, one of the fundraisers in new york that is referenced in the story. it was in front of a group of latino doctors at the at a hotel in manhattan and he must have spoken 43035 minutes within those 35 minutes, he confused the name of the german chancellor. he said the wrong name i think that if you start nitpicking and taking out of context and looking for errors. i m not sure any of us would pass that test. and so that s the one instance i can attest to. the guy spoke fine for 30 minutes. he made one slip-up and they re focusing on that. if that s the kind of thing that they are basing this this entire article on then. and frankly, it s very misleading. and i d like to say that we probably could get the same number so slip-ups for donald trump and practically for anybody else, including us. but we are sure mark, reaction the gate though, that it is a real concern for voters
steve: peter, we saw some of the veterans. i know maybe one of the most famous modern movies about d-day was saving private ryan, which actually was not shot in france. it was shot in ireland. tom hanks is there today, right? peter: yeah. he was walking around. he sat for a couple introduce down the pathway. it was interesting. it really hammered home how veterans focused this anniversary is is he like one of the world s most famous actors. he is sitting there and people say there is tom hanks and they kind of continued along to get into a position to see the ceremony. ainsley: is he very involved with the military. is he one of the ambassadors with the elizabeth dole foundation she provides nurses and assistance for veterans after they come home. brian: thanks, peter. bring in the host of the story martha mccallum, done specials about world war ii. martha, your thoughts on the 80-year mark? martha: well, good morning, everybody. and it s great to be with you.
The french president macron, killing me speaking, are you going to hit your follow this shortly after we re going to be we re likely to be here to court are hurting here from of course, these programs can shift slightly here and they re likely to hear from the secretary of defense, lloyd austin, and then president biden himself, four as we have been discussing thing and laying out a very important moment to mark, of course, in history. but an important speech in the present and for the future. we bring in jim sciutto. once again, fascinating to listen to the secretary of american battle a battle monuments, jim and talking about the the strongest weapon system. past, present, and future is still remains is really beautiful remarks and quite pointed remarks directed expressly at russia. he said a
Message is going to be received by a war-weary electorate who heard from president biden back in 2020 that he planned to end forever wars like the war in afghanistan, where the us withdrew in 2021, albeit in a chaotic the way. and since then, two new hot wars have begun. the war in ukraine that is now inching toward the three-year mark. and the war between israel and hamas, which while only months-long at this point is still far longer than anyone in the biden administration had expected it to last. and there s frustration among the electorate about how long these wars will continue to i asked and how long the us will continue funding the defenses of these country. there also is expected to be an implicit nod to the future and the risk of isolation depending on the policies that some of these countries may pursue. we don t expect president biden to named donald trump by name either today or tomorrow in his speech from pointe-du-hoc, which is the point over looking at the beaches here that cliffs that
Population of europe but four the ability of europeans to live freely. so what we heard today, varus were remarkably moving words, not just from the american president, but also from a number of world leaders here today to say that what was done here at years ago needs to be remembered by everyone and celebration. and mark in order that we can remember that, that freedom that was congruent as such, great expense 80 years ago is something that we continue to fight for today and heads the president or president, the presence of presence, lenski on that extraordinary beach commemoration we saw on omaha earlier today, not just the allied nations and their leaders present but the leader of ukraine as well, an important reminder that that fight continues 80 years on boards yeah, and we actually saw president zelenskyy exchange a moment with a u.s veteran that was quite touching. they were sort of referring to each other as heroes,
The day of birth okay. the panels here. so mark why not? i mean okay. fine. it s a messaging bill. i got that. and whoever the majority is in the house and senate, they do this all the time. but why not just vote yes. in favor of contraceptives? well, and i don t know all the details of that bill, but i also know that katie britt and ted cruz had a bill that was just like it it got voted down or i got rejected by the democrats. i mean, that s what this is. doing. this is i think democrats, it s just try both sides, trying to score points on the other one, they re not going to vote for our bill. we re not going to vote for your bill. and washington continues the way washington does that s actually incorrect. a part of what s been happening since the fall of roe v. wade is we re seeing measures in the states actually he s seeking to restrict access to certain forms of birth control, particularly iuds and plan b, which is some consider it to be in a board of facial at which it s absolutely not. and so this bill basically covered everything from condoms, two plan b, and other
Leaders prepare to gather to mark the 80 years since the allied landings in normandy. 150,000 soldiers landed on five beachesin 150,000 soldiers landed on five beaches in northern france. it was the largest amphibious invasion in the history of warfare. many veterans from the us, canada, uk, elsewhere in northern europe will be there today to mark what many are describing as the most important international anniversary of this year. king charles will be there, as will us presidentjoe biden. uk prime minister rishi sunak. the prime minister rishi sunak. the prime minister rishi sunak. the prime minister of canada, justin trudeau will be among the global leaders gathered. we have a live page set up online which you can watch throughout today as the events unfold. our
Effectively at a time when people remembered world war ii. it s a greater challenge for joe biden at a time when fewer people understand what world war ii meant to our nation and to the world. and we re watching live these pictures of the president and first lady who are heading to air force one. they re going to be leaving normandy and heading back to paris. but in the meantime, brendan, i want to dig a little bit more into the specifics of what we heard today because part of it at least really speaks to what we just heard from mark which is about coming to the aid of other countries. the president got applause when he talked about nato, and then he seemed at least in some way to perhaps make a reference, some might say take a swipe at donald trump as we watch the president and first lady get onto air force one. let me play that little bit of his speech for you.
