the most natural instinct is to walk away to, be selfish, to force our will upon others to seize power. never give up american democracy asks the hardest of things to believe. that we're part of something bigger than ourselves so democracy begins levers, begins when one person decides there's something more important themselves something more important than themselves. >> a clear message to trump who seem to spend the day posting over and over on social media about himself, about how unfair his criminal trial in new york was, even though an independent jury found him guilty, not about how to help the country, but rather for how to help himself and get revenge on his enemies those he falsely claims per persecuted and prosecuted him it's a theme he can't stop talking about look, when this election is over, based on what they've done i would have every right to go after them. revenge, just take time. i will say that as does and sometimes revenge can be justified. so i have to speed sometimes they can. >> it's terrible, terrible path that they're leading us to add. it's very possible that it's going to have to happen to them kayla tausche is out front end paris tonight and kayla, you were there with the president in normandy. he was sending a very clear message brianna it was a clear message and for american voters, it was also a very familiar one. the fragile future of democracy has been a central tenant of biden's presidency, as well as his reelection campaign. and he's given at least half dozen speeches. on this topic in front of union station at philadelphia's independence hall on the anniversary of the january 6 attacks. and at the mccain institute in arizona. and every single time he has tried to stress it, there's urgency behind the issue and that there is a lot at stake. and yet in each of those instances the electorate, it hasn't moved the needle for them, but what was different today was the imagery standing atop those cliffs with the crystal blue waters and the english channel, and being able to vision visualize the bravery of those young men. and perhaps most importantly, during this election, referencing an event where the facts are not in dispute in the annals of history, what happened on d-day and what happened? happened in world war ii is not subject to interpretation. so that's what the president was really trying to get at to target the heartstrings of voters and tried to make this, this speech that changes their minds. it evoked lot of ronald reagan who made that very strikingly similar speech 40 years ago. and his speech writer, peggy noonan, wrote in her memoir that what she was trying to do was to drive i get teenagers to look up in their rice crispy and think about the tough kids who were in world war ii, who are now their grandparents. but most importantly, it she was trying to prove to them that history is real. and i think it's safe to say briana that that was president biden's goal today, not only to prove that history is real, but that in his belief, it's repeating itself. brianna kayla. thank you for that report from paris and out front now, quentin fulks the principal deputy campaign manager for the biden harris 2024 campaign. quentin, why was it so important to president biden to give that speech today? >> well, if there was important for president biden to go and give that speech because democracy, is at stake. he wanted to honor d-day. he wanted to honor the americans who sacrifice at all scaling those cliffs that were just mentioned to save democracy, to root out fascism in authoritarianism across the globe. and they were successful. and it's something that we have have to continue to work towards every day. i am meanwhile, while president biden is leading on the world stage, honoring the men and women who changed the course of history in this country, we see donald trump returned to the trail as a convicted felon, doubling down on threats of political violence and extremism, i believe at least four times this week, he talked about jailing his political enemies and revenge. he's only in this campaign for himself and retribution because that's all he wakes up thinking about. he is obsessed with it. he is unhinged. he has snapped, he's pledging to be a dictator. he's calling for a bloodbath. he's using the language of nazi germany that is what donald trump thinks that he thinks that the men and women who sacrificed their lives for this country are suckers and losers. and so the contrast that american voters saw this week and today, specifically, i can not be more greater of justification of the character of the two men and the focus of the two men who are running to be president of the united states biden made the case today in his speech for ukraine's fight against russia and he made the case for us support for that. he also apologized to president zelenskyy for the delay in american military aid. but when you look at a recent quinnipiac university poll, it found only 2% of americans rank the russia, ukraine war is their top issue. how do you engage people on that when there's so disinterested in it well, look, i think that one we have to follow the leadership of president biden because he knows with the experience that he has that this is important, that democracy is fragile and that we had to keep working we continue it. >> meanwhile, on the other side, donald trump says that russia should be able to do whatever the hell they want to. nato allies. that's a stark contrast and look when it comes to the polls, the only thing that we should take away from any type of polls is that this contest is going to be in the margin of error and the campaign that is going to win as the campaign that's putting in the work and is running on the issues that matter to american voters the most. and when it comes to the work, i'm very proud of the fact that we've got an infrastructure all across our battleground states to be able to communicate with voters. and we're spending our resources to do that. and when it comes to the issues, president biden wakes up every single day working to bring down the cost of goods, continue to lower inflation across this country. rent, mortgage affordability. those are the things that we're talking about. and honestly talking about actual americans and the sacrifices that they're making in their daily lives unlike donald trump, who again, is just continuing to double down and talk about himself. that's the only thing he cares about. and he won't let anything stand in his way to get what he wants speaking of close pull numbers, when you look at that same quinnipiac university poll 50% of registered voters believed that biden, who has made the issue of democracy obviously a top issue in his campaign will be better at preserving democracy, but 43% think trump will be better. >> quentin, you see there only a seven point difference. and that is with someone who tried to overturn the last election, how do you combat that? >> week about it by continuing to put in the work i'm american voters rejected donald trump because they seem the type of leader that he's going to be they seen him giveaway trade secrets. they've seen him put our men and women in uniform in danger during his entire presidency, americans remember what it was like to wake up and wonder if donald trump was going to start a war, war for because he was tweeting he is unhinged. and again, he has no business being anywhere near the white house since our campaign is going to continue to double down continued to make sure that the president and the vice president are surrogates are getting front of americans where they are talking to them about the issues that matter. most. and most importantly, again, that go into presidents remarks that democracy requires something from all of us and it's the only requirement is that we don't just think about ourselves in democracy. and that's something that donald trump has proven time and time again that he has completely and utterly and incapable of doing since trump has been convicted on 34 felony counts, he has been claiming with i'd evidence that the judicial system is being weaponized against him to help biden win the election. >> here's some of what he's saying you have to straighten out what's going on. >> are these sports we've got a rig deal going. they are doing it for the purposes of hurting a political opponent of biden. we're dealing against these system that is so corrupt. it's so bad, it's making our justice system look so bad now, despite that being untrue, do you worry at all that it's muddying the waters with some voters on the question of who will better protect democracy? not at all. donald trump is a convicted felon. and here's the latest proof point that he will do anything in his power, including break the law to get what he wants and he won't stop at anything to do it. and so we have to continue to make sure that we are talking to american voters about the issues at hand. donald trump, if he cared at all hall about this, he wouldn't be going around continuing to incite political violence and real and on the american judicial system, he would not think that he is above the law and would not think that he's above being held accountable. he wouldn't go out and the first thing that he does after he hits the campaign trail is campaigning with charlie kirk, unknown white's premises, and jaume are pio, somebody who's gone to jail for literally systematically targeting latinos. those are the people that donald trump's around. some cells with. and so again, the contrast is incredibly clear as the two opposing visions of this country. and again, we've not heard donald trump talk about any policy that would impact americans lives. he is only talking about himself, his legal troubles because because that's all he thinks about. he's obsessed with it. and he's only in this campaign to try to regain power and he will break the law to do it so that he can get out of trouble. >> he was talking about some policy, some border policies in his most recent campaign, stop along with other issues. i know certainly you disagree with him on that policy, but he did spend some time on it quentin? >> folks. thank you so much for being with us. we do appreciate it thank you now, i want to bring in former republican congressman charlie dent. charlie, you heard biden there. and what a backdrop there. he was evoking the bravery of american soldiers on d-day. he was urging america and the world to protect freedom, defend democracy yet clear contrast to trump, even if he didn't use his name, what do you think who do you think? i should say this speech was intended for well, it's certainly the speech was intended for the american public to try to raise or elevate the issue of democracy, of course, with the backdrop of normandy and point the hock are our greatest generation. >> so many of them stood up to hitler and his third reich, which was the greatest threat to human freedom and democracy than perhaps ever dark and then staying pages of human history. so i think that was his message and it's clear that democracy is under threat, not just in the united states, but in europe, european parliamentary elections, the liberal populist movements or are gaining traction there too. >> and so i think that's what this is about, but we have to remember though a lot of voters are not necessarily looking at this as the most important issue there. >> they're thinking about their looking at other immediate issues like the cost of groceries, housing, mortgage rates. of course the border, there are a lot of issues that are more immediate maybe to voters than this one as important as it is the issue of democracy it isn't the top issue on voter's minds in that reason, quinnipiac university pull of course, the economy is it's not too distant a second though, which voters do you think this message might specifically persuade? >> is there a slice of voters that you think this might appeal to it's clear that joe biden is trying to appeal. >> i think to what he might see as persuadable voters. but it's important to remember that many persuadable voters are somewhat transaction like i said, i think many of them are worried about the economy gasoline prices, housing prices. these are, these are issues front of mine, the border. and so i think for biden, he needs to make sure that democracy and the rule of law threat to democracy is an immediate issue. and is something that they consider sure. as they go into the voting booth, it's unclear whether that message will work. it might it work for say, josh shapiro in pennsylvania against doug mastery yato, where shapiro talked about democracy and threats, the peaceful transfers of power, rule of law the constitution that did matter, as well as woman's reproductive rights. it work there. will it work in 2024 with joe biden it remains to be seen, but clearly in my estimation right now, democracy issue one side thinks that the other side is a threat to democracy. both sides think the other is a threat to democracy. so it's somewhat cuts both ways in the minds of many in the public and the pull numbers show that when you look at the democracy numbers, congressman charlie dent, we appreciate your time. >> thank you thank you, your honor out front next, some democrats who were leaning towards donald trump, that's right democrats leaning towards donald trump are now having second thoughts after the former president was convicted in new york, i'm going to talk to one of those voters next plus an emotional day in court in the hunter biden gun trial, his daughter, trembling as he testified, hunter biden wiping away tears, what she told the jury and career government officials, walking away from their jobs because of what they claim is an attempt to to downplay the 4s in gaza sleep sealed the sheiks difference is real from the light to the dark. >> hold back all in exhale hat dann no, ma'am so chill all night on a cloud, like a feather smooth, soft, nothing better. just write on the night visit, try sheiks.com and get 25% off this father's day with this 60 guarantee we need your help. >> go online, call or scan this code to support wwf's global conservation efforts by symbolically adopted in an elephant for only $12 a month it's just $0.40 a de to protect wildlife and their habitats do it in the next five minutes and you'll get this free adopted get with this plush keepsake go online, call, or scan to help make a difference today sure i'm a paid actor and this isn't a real company, but there's no way to fake cop work can help your business. such talent all over the world with over 10,000 skills, you may not have in-house more than 30% of the fortune 500 use upwork because this that's how we work now my melisma made me feel really ugly. i didn't recognize myself in the mirror. i just hated taking photos. >> how am i ever going to get rid of it?
