martha: thank you all. we will see you later. steve: we re going to keep it live in france. but, also, we re going to talk a little bit about what is happening in this country and, of course, it is a presidential election year. and as it turns out, we have heard for a while that the president has former president, donald trump, has got some names of people who would be great as his veep in his head and maybe they have actually revealed more of that hand because, apparently, at least four of the people have been asked to submit paperwork and stuff like that. they are being vetted. ainsley: doug burgum, marco rubio, tim scott, and j.d. vance. brian: yeah. we will get to that a little bit later. elise stefanik is on it. byron donalds, is he also there. ainsley: those four, i believe, received the vetting papers according to this article? brian: okay. let s talk about 2024. and the president of the united states did get system good news yesterday in terms of the lawfare that s been levied at him.
lawrence: fox & friends starts right now and, remember, mornings are better with friends. so today marks the 80th anniversary of d-day. right now president biden is in normandy, france along with world war ii veterans and other words leaders. steve: that s right. is he reaching each and every american that has made the trip. they are gathering to common rated the historic invasion that led to the defeat of the nazis in europe 80 years ago today. ainsley: and today the world will pause to honor the u.s. and the allied forces who stormed those beaches of normandy on this very day in 1944. and to remember the 73,000 allied service members who lost their lives fighting for our freedom. brian: peter doocy joins us now from normandy. peter? peter: and this plateau behind us where there is now an american cemetery is about as far as the successful allied forces made it on d-day after
Nation. they loved their country. they loved what was behind them and they were willing to defend it. and they were ordinary men who did extraordinary things and that s why they deserve everything we are doing this 80 years later. and may we do it 80 years from now. because our boys better understand what they did because what they did is why we sit here right now on fox & friends at the 7:00 a.m. hour in new york city because if we hadn t, the world would look very different. steve: that is why, pete, there are so many people at the very end of their lives. over 100 years old. i see some reporting this morning that there are apparently 150 of the survivors who were there from america on that day 80 years ago. but they would do anything they could to relive how they saved the world that started 80 years ago today. lawrence: so, pete, what does the president need to say today? put yourself as a young boy that
steve: going to talk a little bit about what they face 80 years ago today that dictator adolf hitler and naziism and fast-forward to today and talk about another dictator, certainly, vladimir putin, and we can t let that happen again, right? peter: it is going to be between today s remarks and tomorrow when he goes to pointe du hoc that the americans had to scale part of the early days of d-day and d-day plus 1 and plus 2 to try to liberate france. tomorrow when he goes pointe du hoc, according to a lot of the aides that are starting to preview the speech in the press, they want him to echo ronald reagan who spoke in that same spot about the cold war that s going to be a challenge for president biden. there are a lot of people here
Of a commander-in-chief because maybe they are beyond the age at this point. at some point in their lives you could walk into the bar young service member and challenge someone else to what coin do you have? lawrence: that s right. pete: whoever has the highest ranking coin the other guy buys. steve: -to-who decides? pete: very easy the commander-in-chief wins every single time. if you got the secretary of defense or two star general, one star general or colonel, if you are caught without one in your pocket then you are definitely paying. steve: none of these men will ever buy a drink again in their lives? pete: exactly right, pete nor should they. ainsley: i don t think there is a rule against brothers fighting in a war together. we heard peter doocy say there are 45 sets of brothers and one father and son. but, remember the sullivan brothers who were five of them on that battle ship. the ship was attacked and all five of the brothers died. so and now, in america, we try to avoid that, correct? pete: yes. but it s also just such we re
Contribution. steve: yeah, with saving private ryan, it was tom hanks took his men behind enemy lines to find private ryan, whose three brothers were killed in combat. and as peter doocy said at the top of this hour, martha, in addition to a number of sets of brothers, there is also a father buried right next to his son. martha: that is right. the son of theodore roosevelt who is buried next to one of his brothers here. you know, there were entire families who went off to fight in that lesson that we learned in saving private ryan is very real. i talk to people all the time who say you know, i had three of my grandfather, my two uncles, you know, just entire sections of this generation. nobody wanted to be left out. for these young men, if you were walking around your hometown in 1943, 44, you felt embarrassed. you felt like people wanted to understand why you weren t doing
