will not be going back to serve any of it because of the four-year she already served thanks for joining us. the news continues now, right here on cnn it's thursday, june 6, right now on cnn this morning, president biden in france to commemorate today's 80th anniversary of d-day, and to send a message to america's allies. plus multiple tornadoes sweeping across marilyn homes damaged people, injured, and trapped. >> and donald trump's election interference trial in georgia delayed indefinitely don't appeals court decides whether de a fani willis can stay on the case all right. >> 5:00 a.m. here in washington, this is a live look at the normandy american cemetery in france. as world leaders gathered to commemorate the 80th anniversary of d-day. good morning, everyone. i'm kasie hunt. it's wonderful to have you with us president biden and first lady jill biden enormity at this hour to meet with the precious few remaining veterans who took part in the largest amphibious 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

in the suburbs, highly populated area. the weather service office in baltimore issued 22 tornado warnings. that is the fourth most they have issued from their office in a day. so it was definitely a

i'm pete mundane at reagan national airport. this is cnn all right. >> 5:30 a.m. here on the east coast, 11:30 a.m. in normandy france, where we see the president of the united states greeting veterans of the historic d-day invasion that lead to the liberation of france. and the ultimate commit fall of the nazis. this of course likely the last major d-day anniversary that some of these incredibly brave men are going to be able to celebrate as we watch the greatest generation passed before our eyes are senior white house correspondent, kayla tausche joins us live now. from normandy where she is covering the president. kayla good morning to you. >> very emotional scenes as these remembrances play out it's an incredibly emotional scene. >> casey, here at the american cemetery where some 10,000 american troops are memorialized. it is sunny day here in norman de, nothing like the low-slung cloud cover of 80 years ago that allowed the allied forces to conduct the invasion. that became the day that we are commemorating today. you saw biden is meeting with those veterans, honoring their heroics in that battle as well as in world war ii, more generally, you mentioned that this is likely the last major milestone for many world war ii veterans. that's one of the reasons why organizers here have gotten on all out for today's celebration thousands expected to meet an attendance the official us led commemoration ceremony is expected to kick off in just a few oman's, but there's special resonance for another reason today. and that is who will be participating vladimir putin of russia will not be here at the request of france but volodymyr zelenskyy, the president of ukraine, will be here with world leaders attempting to signal a show of force from the west continue helping ukraine defend itself. in this modern war on europe's front lines that is going to be a major theme in the speeches that we hear from leaders today. and in the coming days. you can expect president biden to touch on that as well. casey alright. >> kayla tausche for us live from normandy. kayla thank you very much. much for your reporting. will be back with her throughout the morning here. >> when president biden does speak this morning from normandy, he'll be focused on the history but looming over him as an uncertain future as war again rages and eastern europe and americans may elect as president, again, a man who questioned questions the value of nato, which is the very foundation of the piece that these men fought and died for joining me now is axios senior contributor, margaret tall. >> have margaret good morning. >> let's talk about the weight of this day. and hopefully we can still see watch what's going on live as the president continues to talk a little terrier i know. and seeing these men have a chance to do this with the president in the united states so many years after they really saved the democracy, the world's debt, the world, yes indeed, the stakes aren't quite now i know you've been to normandy in the course of your reporting career. tell us what it's like, what it's like they're and how you see this moment in just an incredibly high, it really does almost feel like we are at another turning point in world history in some way. >> i think you set it up right? because you see the contrast between how world war ii ended and the moment we're now with russia's of prolonged war against ukraine and what it could mean for western europe were for democracy writ large. and because of the political stakes at home and these two fundamentally different rivals, not just in terms of their political parties or their domestic policies but the way they process the lessons it's a history and joe biden and donald trump are only a few years apart. joe biden born two years before the invasion of the beaches enormity. i'll trump born about a year-and-a-half afterwards. they were raised in that same end of war posters it's world war ii generation but have taken completely different takeaways about how to talk about fascism or autocracy or us obligations. the world all or the value of the alliance. you'd asked me about visiting. normally i got to go twice when i was covering president obama and it's an incredible place. the american cemetery and the monument are so meticulously manicured and the aura of the place is it's both somber and celebratory. it's incredibly quiet peaceful and people who go there treat with that kind of reverence. the second time i went, i snuck away from the filing center for a little while. the president already left and i was able to go down to walk down the cliff to omah, be itch, and to stand there at the water's edge and turn around and look up and you could kind of see what it would look like to approach. and what a position of vulnerability are in what a how terrifying it must have been, but how purposeful it must have felt anyone can go there if you can save the money and make the preparation and take that trip and if you really want to understand the history of the world war ii era, it's incredibly moving visit to make yeah, i really, really very remarkable the difference in how obviously president biden is there in his role representing all americans? >> on this critical moment. he is however, running for reelection and i couldn't help but flashback to what we were covering during the trump administration that came out in 2020, the atlantic wrote a story that trump had when he was discussing whether to go to a french cemetery for world war i veterans the atlantic wrote this quote in a conversation with senior staff members on the morning of the scheduled visit, trump said why should i go to that cemetery? it's filled with losers in a separate conversation on the same trip, trump referred to more than 1,800 marines who lost their lives at bella would as such occurs for getting killed. and then john kelly actually confirmed that on the record to jail for because former chief of staff of course, a veteran who has lost a son in service to our country. and kelly said to tapper at the time, god help us. it does seem like that very stark contrast is on display today. >> yeah, the suckers and losers comment is sort of how you could shorthand it is it's still talked about, it's still something that the former president sort of denies or diminishes, but has been confirmed by as former chief of staff. >> and you'll remember he also has visited normandy, donald trump, his visit to normandy around the 75th anniversary. there was some controversy because he did use that visit to directly swipe back at political rivals and political opponents. and so i think when you see president biden's remarks over the next couple of days, he will most likely be very sensitive to that and try to balance i mean, obviously he's going to want to use the opportunity to send a message it's not just to the world, but to a domestic audience. but not to maybe be brazenly political because that is seen as a misuse of this moment and this role, a summer historic marking the wall street journal editorial board also weighed in on not so much the politics of the moment but the importance they view. they say of making not losing sight of the dangers in the world they say this year's anniversary is meaningful for more than its famous history or the site of the light last living veterans of the day, it will mean much more if america and the citizens of other free nations take that day's lessons to heart. amid growing threats from dictators and rogue's around the world. and they go on to also write that the best way to honor the memory of d-day just to recall the eternal lesson that to preserve the peace, you must prepare for war. the reality is this view that they have of this is not the one that's on the upswing in the republican party today. >> yes i mean there are two things going on. one is that the parties have begun to diverge and almost switch roles in some ways in terms of foreign policy and what the us role should be but also, there's just a general aging. these heroes that you see on the screen, or 100-years-old, the young ones are at 8.5 or something joe biden looks very sprightly in contrast to some of these veterans. and so i think the i think the youngest ones are older than that. i think they're basically in there about 100. yeah. yeah. >> there are people over 100. my grandfather turned 18 and was drafted in 1944 and was sent to the philippines. >> he he passed away just this week, actually at 98-years-old and so i mean, i can't help but think of him when i see these men, but he was one of the youngest who actually was drafted into the war. >> these are centenarians and although the history lives on the immediacy of the history of the ability to hear the personal stories a generation's ability to connect to this as their own wanes with each passing year. and yes, it's important for to learn in history class and for public look officials to talk about the lessons that have shaped and held up and threaten democracy but if people have never faced fears like that and their own lived experiences, if those are not the fears that they confront it gets much more difficult to remind them of the stakes it's just something you heard about in a history book, the way me when have heard about the colonial era or the civil or it seems very far away. and with the passage of time, the lessons of world war ii grow further away and it is, it is difficult to harness them politically and to talk about about them in terms of a shared social fabric that transcends partisan identity and partisan divisions. i think this has been the lesson that i personally have been grappling with because i did have a personal i grew up with a personal tie to the events that were playing out at this time in our history and i think it took me a minute to realize that that connection was not present with many of our we talked a lot about younger voters and i know you interview them all the time that they don't have that i think i first came across it with people that hadn't remembered 911, which was an event that very much shaped my generation's people that i share birth year and time and history with this. now we are reaching a point where this is not going to be something that people have personal connections with. i think we talked about history repeating itself. maybe this is partly why the particulars changed, but the lessons of humanity loom large happens every number bro decades there are threats arise up to cover common governance. threats that are about power and control more than they are about the particular ideology these are important lessons for people to understand when you say, why is the us spending money overseas when we need so much help at home? well the the argument for doing that is to keep the threat overseas and not allow it to come home. but for someone who has never lived through, that era themselves nor had others nor grandfathers, or nor great grandfathers who did you're just sort of asking people to take it on faith or to do the homework themselves. i think this is an exceptional moment. to be able to actually hear from some of the people who at 100 can still speak cogently and indeed great detail and tell us what they, what they experienced and the wall street journal also notes that an ignoring the rise of hitler, the price was paid at pearl harbor and other places. and then of course the sands of omaha

who stormed omaha beach on d-day invasion at began the liberation of france. >> and the ultimate freeing of europe from nazi tyranny. we are marking this significant eight see fifth anniversary with the final few of the veterans who remain with us today joining us now is jeff duncan. he is a cnn political commentator, former lieutenant governor of the state of georgia, and someone who has done quite a bit of warning us, frankly, about some of the implications of the decision that americans face in the election in november. and of course, jeff, i'm very grateful to have you this morning. the president, of course, representing all americans, i've said that already. this morning in his capacity as president of the united states, as we remember, we remember these great heroes. this is not, of course how his opponent in the election here at home has characterized these men. he infamously, it was reported called them suckers and losers. he was talking about americans who had died in world war ii juan and were buried in a french cemetery. those comments later confirmed on the record by john kelly, his former chief of staff. i'd love to hear your reflection on this day and your sense of the stakes of the choice that americans are facing in november it's unfortunate that any american would speak of the heroic de, and heroic events 80 years ago in any sort of ill will to me, it seems born obviously after de it's really hard to even comprehend the amount of individual sacrifice, the amount of individual courage, and then the cumulative total of that across that entire effort. >> i just hard to calculate in to me, it was each individual soldier that is what made the difference. it was this it was this woven fabric in each one of them. the courage that they showed up, it doesn't feel like it was a temporary event. it was just who they were when they showed up a to america was when we showed up to sacrifice so much jeff if i am interested, to know if you have family connections a to the war, if not, i know in your political capacity, i'm sure that you have met with an honoured these veterans. >> i had the privilege to attend an event at the french embassy ahead of this marking in this anniversary, and many of these men were actually present there. i can i recognize some of them because again, there are so few of them left with us what should we be thinking about? what lessons should we be learning from them to take into today? >> yeah, for me, the veterans that i've got to meet over over my lifetime have been this was the single biggest event in their life. it was it was just a cornerstone for who they were and what they were about. i mean, you could see the scars or feel the scars of the sacrifice that they made but it was just woven it and i think we need to take away from them their character, their resolve is what made them special? yes, certainly they learned incredible skills and traits and we're trained to the best of our nation's abilities. but it was her character and resolve that made them special. i think there's a takeaway for that. as i look at it, as my kids look, i've got three boys. as i look at it. i mean, these soldiers were the ages of two of my kids at that at that moment in time and so to just to think about them showing up that didn't happen by accident. it wasn't some mass training regimen. it was just woven into their fiber and i think that's really what we can never lose in this country, is that resolve in determination to do the right thing? >> in that that feels like at times a delta from where we are today yeah. can we can you talk a little bit about that delta between what that generation stepped up to do, then for all of us, for the world and the situation we're in now yeah, it just feels like we shouldn't look at moments in time where we have to do the right thing. >> through the lens of politics. it just cheapens, it it just, it's the wrong lens to look through. we should have political arguments, we should have political fights in a period of time away from these big decisions, away from these big moments when we have to go step up and sacrifice so much it just feels like politics this is leaked in every single corner and we've landed, right? we've let campaign season become the dominant force and how we set policy in this country. and it just seems like that's too cheap of a way for us to actually make a difference in this country? certainly we need to have our political arguments, so we need to arm wrestle through the individual policies and nuances and issues. but we need to come back to the table as americans that's that to me is we shouldn't show up in a ballot box as a republican or democrat, we should show up as an american. now we should get to that spot. understanding what our core values, our understanding what's right, what's wrong for us or our state or our country. but we should walk in there as an american knowing that that ultimate selection it's going to be somebody that's gonna make some of the biggest toughest decisions that our country could could possibly face yeah it's, it's, it's a strong way to frame it. >> and the reality is that the fight in europe, the ongoing fight in europe for ukraine's freedom has become a central political argument here. in the us. are you surprised at how that debate has played out, especially inside the republican party? >> absolutely i'm horrified at some of the dissension that shows up for what if you just peel back one millimeter off the surface of these? just disgusting conversations about why we shouldn't fund and be able to have this ability to stop vladimir putin, who is evil operator in his tracks. yes, we, we need to have accountability, but to me, this conversation around ukraine and other issues around world have been so politicized a paralysis of nature and making decisions that quite honestly should be easy decisions to make. but we should follow through with accountability. we should follow metrics of what success looks like. but that shouldn't be some sort of wavering voice just for cheap shallow tweet that you're going to send that gets ten more likes on it because you use horrific language in it all right. geoff duncan lieutenant governor of georgia scan and political commentator, very grateful for your time this morning. thank you so
