pointe du hoc on d-day as he urges americans here at home to defend democracy, stand up to aggression abroad, and be part of something bigger than ourselves. the biden campaign message of democracy and freedom as the election gets closer, but is it landing? the defense calls its first witness at hunter biden s federal gun trial. key members who could take the stand and the impact they might have on this case. and polling says the rfk jr. could have an impact on the election. will challenges keep him off the ballot in some major states. we ll explain what it could mean and who is behind the effort. begin with president biden s appeal to americans to protect democracy and freedom. the president delivering that message more than 4,000 miles away at pointe du hoc in france. the dramatic backdrop at the stop where 80 years ago u.s. army rangers scaled the cliffs overlooking omaha and utah beaches as allied forces helped turn the tide of world war ii. to believe, to require
