civilization and set free a suffering humanity more than 70,000 american troops joined allies forces for operation overlord on june 6, 1944. >> 2,500 us soldiers died that day storming the beaches, 29,000 more were killed during the battle of normandy that followed the sacrifices of america's greatest generation led to the downfall of hitler's nazi germany. when president biden speaks this morning, he'll honore, those heroes a speech focused on democracy plan for tomorrow on the french coast, leaders across the democratic west foraged in the crucible of d-day have been warning that history can have a way of repeating itself as a ruthless dictator, wages and unprovoked war in eastern europe today with democracy on the line, 80 years ago, american general dwight eisenhower use these words to inspire the allied troops to storm the beaches of normandy the eyes of the world are upon you. the hopes and

generations from far-right populism on the march on both sides of the atlantic ocean, geopolitical empires like russia and china are meanwhile resurgent and threatening to obliterate the global system dominated by western values that has prevailed since world war ii. tell us a little bit more about how you're viewing this day yeah i think we've been living in the world that these brave soldiers forged ever since the end of the second world war, it was a world that was bought, build by franklin roosevelt, winston churchill the structures of western led democratic countries the us support for europe in the cold war, which the allies, another conflict of the allies eventually one nearly 50 years after the end of the cold war so that world is now a lot less certain than it used to be. >> as i wrote there, there are challenges from autocracies, yet again, on the european continent with russia resurgent a major land war on the fringes

of the european continent china is challenging the us led world order there are threats to democracy at home, both in europe and in the united states may seem what's happened since the 2020 election here. there's a european union election on sunday that is going to probably see gains for far-right parties that are very much sort of resonating the same rhetoric as the america first donald trump movement here. so it could well be a turning point. and as these old soldiers fete, the memories of what this events that for de day and what it's meant and the legacy of built a becoming less and less prevalent our old soldiers were seeing some of them now we're very lucky to have these remaining few still with us as we mark what is likely the last significance, 80th i commemoration of d-day cedric leighton steven notes

kind of how this has all changed. i want to remind everyone what ronald reagan, of course, the republican party for so much of my career was always centered itself as the party of ronald reagan, one of the things that he warned us about when he was present in the united states in 1984 was isolationism, which is of course, as steven notes resurgent here, potentially around the globe. here was ronald reagan in 1984 we in america have learned bitter lessons from two world wars it is better to be here ready to protect the piece than to take blind shelter across the sea rushing to respond only after freedom is lost. we've learned that isolationism never was and never will be an acceptable response to tyrannical governments within expansionist intent reagan speaking from the same site where joe biden, president biden tomorrow, we'll speak about the importance of

democracy central. that's all right, gcn, that side is actually we do have where the rangers attacked the nazi positions at a particularly really difficult area because of the huge cliffs that were there and the isolationism that reagan spoke, spoke about is really the type of thing that i think affected a lot of the people during the world war ii generation because what they were looking at was they had been isolated because of tendencies in us politics during the 1920s and 30s but then they had to risk respond to a threat. and that thread in a world that wasn't as connected as our world was still felt, even here on the shores of the united states, reagan's generation ended up recognizing that and reagan saw his opportunity as being a way to really we not only remind people of the fight against nazism, but also the fight at that time against communism. he, and he saw those tyrannies is being in essence somewhat

equal in the sense that they were both repressive tyrannies and e. wanted to make sure that the world was basically free of those. and that's why he made the remarks that he did. >> isaac dovere at you, of course, have covered a president biden a day in and day out as president of the united states. what does this day, this moment mean for him? >> like he, he has said that through his time running and starting out in january of this year when he gave that speech, valley forge, that he sees preserving i can see as the work of his presidency. and here he is, as i think it's fair to say, likely the last president who will have been alive during d-day, right? who grew up in that world and stephen was saying that was built by these soldiers and those leaders trying to defend it and trying to say this is the world that we should keep living in. it is to him, not an issue of politics per say, although of course it is being litigated in the 2024 campaign.

but to him this is about something i think bigger than that. and of course, that's the weird thing about this election is that we're not talking about tax policy or what might happen with this regulation or that regulation or any of the normal things that they talked about in campaign. we're talking about what kind of america we want to be living in. and what kind of world we want america to be function again and those are very different visions that are coming from joe biden and donald trump. >> a world of course that we owe to the men we are seeing here on our screens, those veterans who stormed the beaches at omaha beach 80 years ago. at the start of the de d-day invasion that ultimately lead to the liberation of france and the world from hitler and the nazis ahead here, president biden's message to america's allies from the hallowed shores of normandy plus filmmaker, legendary filmmaker ken burns joins us to talk about the historical significance of this day there's no war, so hateful

story this morning, a cool, clear de, on the shores of normandy, france, and that is where we find cnn senior correspondent, melissa bell, melissa, you are in a remarkable spot if we can bring wallace up there, she is. i actually out on the waters, set the scene for us and tell us what would these men have seen on that day this case is one of those amphibious vehicles now alderman, 80 years ago today to make their way toward the beach and take those full trig steps towards what would be the liberation well, france and europe, you can see we've got a couple of french policeman here on our duck with us. >> but this is the water. these are the water's just also gold beach what's the beat? shantou, which mainly british servicemen made their way. juno is down there. omaha, down there were the american

serviceman had such tremendous losses the zone that day, eight years ago. and as you can see on along this coast, the turnouts been really extraordinary. you can see us ceremony going on there in one mole led by serving serviceman now and a huge turnout. the people have come not just with amphibious vehicles like these but with a kind of jeep's that were used eight years ago to transport the men. >> the weapons, equipment all across normandy. >> and i think one of the things we've seen in the hearts of these separations as a reminder of the extraordinary logistical feat that was operation overlord is those men came onto the beach. it was also with the parachute is done behind the leinz the cutting off with remarkable efficiency seat and coordination amongst allies. remember, armies of different countries to cut off the german resupply roots once d-day the happened, the communications that would allow have allowed hello them to fend off. this allied assault on

what was occupied. france. it was on these kinds of parts. casey that they came very early that morning, as you say, 24 hours off, they were meant to come because of the inclement weather and staggered onto these beaches in what would have been bloodied waters. just extraordinary scenes that played out here eight years ago when we have today are some 200 the world war ii veterans who actually serve and they've brought with them, of course, as you'd imagine, casey, extraordinary stories of what they lived and emotion about the fact that they've been able to come back here today. >> melissa, can you give us a little bit of a sense of what we're seeing behind you. we see french flags, american flags flying at what appear to be perhaps tanks. forgive me, i can't see it quite well enough. i mean, what, what is the senior? in front of you let me get out of the way to show you. >> you can see they're all the many flags, for instance, on that another doc and i'm visit

nature of the place and what it meant to come on shore and that invasion and what happened in the months that followed. and you know, i was doing a little homework, a little history homework as we've been watching these images, the gallup poll, one of the things that's so great about the gallup poll is that it's existed an awfully long time including way back when gallup actually surveyed americans not long before the d-day invasion, about world war ii and found that four out of ten americans said they didn't actually have a clear idea of what the us was fighting for. we look back on it now and think that this moment must have had such clarity, such unanimity that those americans at those time, that time in our country were like, yeah, let's do it. but actually there was a lot of confusion then among a segment of the population about why this was in the us interests what objectives could

be accomplished, how long it would take to do it. and i think you're going to see president biden then volodymyr zelenskyy at normandy together, you're going to see russia excluded from this event the lessons of 1944, and the fact that there was public confusion or consternation, even at the time about the right course and what it would mean is really, really important to remember. we're looking at challenges to democracy around the world now, not just in ukraine all across western europe in terms of moves by the far right? elections in mexico and india that could have profound implications for tests of democracy, for how, quote unquote democratic leaders will use their power to sustain their power it's a big moment and it's a reminder of while we may not have had unified clarity going into that day, these men had a an incredible clarity of purpose as they

stormed the beaches that de margaret tall, very grateful to have you on the program this morning. thank you very much coming up next, we're just moments away from president biden delivering remarks from normandy. we're going to bring those to you you live. >> plus the man who made the definitive documentary on almost every war in american history. >> ten burns joins us to reflect on this 80th anniversary of d-day okay they fight deliberate fight to let justice arise power and good will among all people but for the end of well, i rub ten to the haven of home see idp disrupts cid p derails. >> let's be honest sucks but, living with see idp doesn't have to. when you sign up at

cemetery and call vlc. oh, man. and there will be the joint american franco celebration and commemoration today. so you'll have president biden, he will be welcoming the french president given the this is the american cemetery, there will be a flyover fly past of c13 aircraft. there will be the national anthems of both countries. the french president will make a short speech and deliver what's called the leisure and honore. let's a particular honor perhaps a little bit like the medal of freedom in the united states to a number of surviving american vets. president biden will deliver the remarks, perhaps in about a half an hour from now. there'll be the invocations, there will be, again, more fly pars, prayers, and and tabs and the kinds of things that actually we've seen in so many of these years. this is, i've been doing these commemorations since 1994, the 50th and then the 55th to sixth year the 65th, and on and on. and it's

truly an amazing, amazing atmosphere to witness. i just spoke to a 101-year-old veteran jake larson, who i spoke to five years ago, and he promised me five years ago that he would come back and he did it. he's still alive unbelievable. he talked about the fear, the sheer fear of being discourse down to that beach when 10,000 people in one day, well, either killed or wounded or went missing. the most incredible endeavor. and president biden will talk about how this is the battle of a lifetime for democracy to defend the democracy and freedom that they died four, but also to fend the one that is at stake right now in europe, who knew that there would be a raging war in europe on the 80th anniversary of d-day and so he's going to talk all about the stakes that we all face, the existential stakes with russia's invasion of ukraine now entered its third year. and i just read a little bit from president

reagan's unbelievable speech that he made on the 40th anniversary. here in 1980 four. and he said, essentially that the liberation had come finally to europe, that had being prayed for here the allies stood and fought against tyranny in a giant undertaking, unparalleled in human history. and indeed unparalleled. it was called operation overlord. they tricked and deceive the nazis into to coming aboard in a place where the nazis thought they would not be. and they fought and did something absolutely heroic, but no one could imagine even today was possible. and that's what it's going to be celebrated and mark all throughout this day. and through these ceremonies are really remarkable at moment christiane, you mentioned the ongoing at land war in europe noteworthy that we expect the ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky's presence here and it was apparently requested

that the russian president vladimir putin not appear of course, at the time, there was significant involvement from the soviets at the time. and he has attended in the past is my understanding, not welcome there today. >> well, let me put that into perspective as well. i was actually here as i said, at the 70th anniversary, 2014, and in fact, the main celebrations took place on the beach below where we are now the queen of england was here. the german chancellor was here, obviously the president of the united states was here, barack obama, but also vladimir putin. he had been invited in remembrance and in gratitude for what the soviet troops actually did do, they came storming in through the year up into the center review of help liberate europe. they lost 20 million people, a huge sacrifice in world war ii. and at that time, russia was meant to be an ally. now of

course it did come some two months after putin had annexed crimea, the beginning of putin's land-grabbing europe, that at the time, the leaders hoped would stopper crimea and actually be repelled. and so i remember then taking him off into some fancy lunch and trying to have a piece of gathering whereby they tried to bring the beginnings of the minsk accords, so to speak, which was meant to deliver peace between russia and ukraine. obviously, it didn't work out and it failed and we saw what happened with the full-scale invasion some two years ago now into its into its third year. so putin did not come five years ago because again, in the full throes of his invasion of eastern ukraine and crimea. and he said definitely was not welcome this year, but again, to go back to ronald reagan in 1984, then at the height of the cold war, in that phenomenal speech, he delivered from you hall, which is the top of the massive cliff that the army rangers, the

american army rangers scaled and they were just mow down by german nazi fire. and yet they kept going anyway, reagan went back and gave the speech there to commemorate and add that speech he talked about the soviet troops who had helped liberate europe, but who, as he said stayed in central europe and never went back on, wanted uninvited. and he talked about the countries of eastern europe at that time, there was still after world war i were then swept up into what they call the soviet bloc. the warsaw pag all those countries which are now free and want to become part of nato and many of them are part of nature. there's so much resonance. and even at that time, that speech 40 two years ago, ronald reagan said that we have to have peace through strength and that he was looking for a sign from the soviet union that they too would want some i'm kind of piece. and it's really remarkable that at the end of reagan's second term he found

that partner for peace in mikhail gorbachev, the last of the soviet union presidents and leaders. and then for a period of years, there was rapprochement. obviously between what became russia and the west and then vladimir putin came to power and showed that his philosophy, his politics, was aggression, was imperialism was again trying to dominate parts of the world of this continent that he believed were rightly his are rightly belong to russia and that's where we are today. >> really remarkable way to lay out the stage and the stakes of all of this are christiane amanpour always incredibly grateful to have you and your perspective on this historic day. thank you. very much coming up next here, president biden in france for the 80th anniversary of d-day, we are going to make sure we bring you his speech live. you are looking of course, at some of the last surviving veterans of that day. but coming up here,

invasion of france, that began the liberation of that country and of europe and the world from nazi tyranny joining us live from walpole, new hampshire to reflect on this momentous day is the award-winning director and filmmaker. ken burns, who of course produced the war. it's simply called the war, the definitive documentary outlining what happened in the course of world war ii. i can, i'm so grateful to have you on the program. i just like to start with your reflections as we see what are really our final remaining veterans, those courageous men who stormed the beach that day casey thanks for having me. this is one of the most important days in american history. it's certainly one of the most important days in world history. this is the greatest cataclysm in the history. of the world more than 60 million people were killed. this is the greatest invasion in the history of that. and we began our film at the end of the 90s to err in 2007 because

we were learning that we were losing 1,000 veterans of the second world war a day in america. i am sorry to say that that number for his way way down and they're all only a handful of people who have that direct memory. and we wanted to find out what it was like this day. you cannot imagine imagine the scope. it is beyond our comprehension and the thing that matters to me most is that we were there not for empire, we were there to acquire territory that farm boy from nebraska is not there to get something. he's there for an idea which is to liberate people from for terrorism, to liberate people from tyranny that people who had taken over europe and it's one of the most magnificent moments in human history. and what happened that day is beyond comprehension of there are three phases. first, the airborne gets dropped behind the, hundred and first and the

82nd. then there are over 11,000 bombers. they're supposed to soften up german targets. then there's going to be in phase three of five beach landing. the british are going to take gold and sword. the canadians are going to take juno and have a pretty hard time of it. utah americans are there teddy roosevelt junior with just a cane, marches ashore. it's omaha, that's the big problem. it's a wide beach, it's the biggest beach. the tanks that are set off just go right to the bottom of the sea. a lot of the lstm are swamped i mean, the heroism of the people that then in the face of weathering fire get up on that beach and begin to move. someone just said, you know, americans began to improvise that day. the ships were ordered to stay out at a certain length so they wouldn't a run aground. they moved in so that their guns could break up the german and placements enlisted soldiers and officers like began to take matters into their own hands and somebody said, look, we're getting murdered down here.

let's go up there and get murdered and opened up a beachhead in the thing. it is, you cannot overstate and all you have to do is look at all those crosses all of the americans that were left there to understand the significance of this moment. and this day and the fact that the chances are that there'll be anyone left in a few years who was there who can remember it is a sad moment and i think forces us now to invest even more energy as forces of authoritarianism our again, on the eastern borders of europe, again threatening us. >> it is a remarkable way to think about it. in fact, i actually, just this week glossed my 98-year-old grandfather. he was not in europe. he actually fought in the philippines he earned a purple heart there and i think i was struck both personally when our family went through this loss, but also now looking

at these men here, that people who are mine hi paige. i am not yet 40 are going to be the only ones that really have. we're gonna be the last ones that have the opportunity to have a. personal connection to people who were there that day. and i'm just interested to know your reflections on what that means. for how we need to talk to the upcoming generations that are not going to have the opportunity to understand just what those stakes were, just it's what these men and women, some of them went through and fought for in this just absolutely momentous cataclysmic world event. it seems like a really it's significant loss it is indeed, and i think we live in perilous times, not just because of the rise of authoritarianism, kc, but also because because we are all now with social media kind

of independent free agents. >> and the thing that we practiced in the depression and then perfected and world war ii was shared sacrifice. and that's what those men, those all men now, who can need help, someone wheelchairs, some with canes. they were 19-years-old. i've got a 19-year-old daughter right now and i want her to understand that at 19, people were risking their realize are 150300 boats in that armada. there were 176,000 soldiers. >> there were 2000 landing votes the sheer escape, a scope of this thing is so important to understand and then to personalize, to say it, it's just arrows on a map, but their individual lives like your grandfather, like my father, like other people who were involved in these things that we have so few of these great patriots, the ghraieb, this is, this is the moment when the greatest generations reputation is cemented.

>> they had survived the depression and all the hardships and that practice permitted them to say, it's not about me, it's about us and us is tiny lowercase two letter plural pronoun that also when it's capitalized, is the un and that's what my entire professional life has been about. and in that space, in that sacred space is the story of the better angels of human vanity. and i can't think of anything than what it would be for a 19-year-old kid to get off the landing boat and make it up there and eliminate that pillow box, destroy those guns, and make an inroad into europe. so that on june 6, pypy end of august, you are in paris. and this and you can see the light at the end of the tunnel. it's there's not a better story in the history of the world than this one. >> yeah, it's absolutely incredible. i'm can we went

back to see how this was being written about from a leadership perspective. at the time and back in 1944, just a month or so after this invasion in foreign affairs, they wrote about the differences between among the european and american leaders at the time. and they say that it has repeatedly been pointed out, france was far less fortunate than great britain or the united states in her polls political leadership, the men who were patriots first and politicians second were rare, almost nonexistent. again, in france, the salvation of great britain and the united states has been that at critical moments in their history a benign political providence has provided leaders who were not only intelligent, but courageous, courageous. how important is that kind of courage on the world stage? page today? >> oh, it's hugely important. we see almost in a daily,

hourly fashion the way in which partisanship and the idea of my way or the highway the way rules most of our discussions. and we applaud now as a rare event when people set aside the label are or d and do something together when this is entirely what happened here, franklin roosevelt went to the industrialists who are angry at him because he had promoted all these social classes that we're lifting people out of the depression. and he said, i need you to make fifth de thousand planes and they said, we can't do more than 2000. he said i need 50,000. he got 50,000 planes that year and so there was a sense of cooperation, a sense of in it together. and so freedom. casey, at the end of the day, that's what you're talking about. is that freedom is not just what i want. it's what we need and sometimes they're in conflict with one another. that iowa or nebraska

farm boy does not need to be at omaha beach that morning 80 years ago but that's what that's what we needed and that kid was able to do that and so many lost their lives to see that c of crosses is to understand the essence. >> i'm working right now on the history of the american revolution, where all of these things first began to coalesce of the idea that we weren't just separate but we could be one thing. >> and that's if there's ever a sterling example of one thing, something we need desperately today, not just in the united states but in the world, is the forces of democracy to come up and say, this is how you do it authoritarians always get the first job and then it takes a little bit longer for the, for the unwieldy democratic processes to work. >> but when they work, there is not a force in the world that can resist them. that is the

lesson of d-day. and that is the lesson for us to take back to our own lives and our own actions and to begin to realize there are things bigger than in my political beliefs that are things bigger than what i want. there, things that we need. and right now, we need to celebrate democracy and the overthrow of a authoritarian rule really, just really remarkable way to put it. >> ken burns do please stay with me. i'd like to give you the last word in just a few moments as we approach the top of the hour our panel is also here cedric late and i know you had family members who are involved in this war effort. you're final reflections as we wrap up here. >> yeah. can you see one of the things my dad was involved in the intelligence side, he was army intelligence and ceo at the time, and one of the things that he noted was how quickly the radio traffic blossom and all the networks i came up in terms of the logistical that works on the german side, on

the french sayyed on the british side. and everybody was talking about d-day as soon as all all of these things happened, all of the movements occurred with the flotilla of ships were several thousand ships that showed up the over 14,000 airplanes. all hello, that became part of a major logistical movement in his ken was mentioning there are so many different aspects to this. this was a major logistical feat, major intelligence feet and we actually had insights on the intelligence side that gave us the plans of what the germans were going to do and gave us the plans for therefore defeat occasions. and that made a huge difference in a big difference, too many of those men that we're seeing now, who were there that day as like dovere, you cover president biden's so closely. again, as we wrap up up here at the sticks for him. >> well, okay. remember the portrait in the oval office that biden put there in the center spot is of fdr. he sees a lot of connection to him both in terms the fight for democracy and in terms of the

economic program. so these ones new, new deal essentially in his mind. >> but the points have been made by cam, by you and your about your grandfather this these people this is not a theoretical exercise for them. this is what the fading memories, world war ii, and the holocaust. we see things that are coming back now in ways that reflect that we are starting to forget about it. a lot of people have not had that direct experience go back to khan. i ran talking about the banality of evil. >> this is what happened happened. >> it's real, it happened with human beings. human beings haven't changed that much, and it's when one of the things that we are facing as a country and the world is whether we're going to repeat weather as biden says, history, just rhymes, right, according that irish poem what we're going up against here in this moment, four for america and the world is something that we all need

to grapple with because that is not, it's only 80 years ago. it's really not that long and here we are getting again, i when we just lost someone in my life who was able to participate in who was who fought for us steven. you're we're gonna go back to ken burns here. so briefly, your reflections on this today. >> thing to ises point when the witness of history fade away, it's easier for the malevolent forces to pervert history. and what history seems like linear d-day was not always assured to be a success. dwight eisenhower carrier a message in his wallet that said that he would deliver it in the event of a retreat which said, if there is any blame, it's all basically on me and that kind of leadership is, i think what we've been somewhat lacking in recent years. >> very interesting. all right ken burns, like i said, i want to give you the last word here as someone who has devoted a significant portion of their life to helping us all. remember these days what would

you leave us with? >> so i'll leave you with that day american smoke up found out what was going on in that night. president roosevelt gave this breyer. almighty god are sons pride of our nation is de, have set upon a mighty endeavor faris struggled to preserve our republic or religion and our civilization into set three is suffering humanity. lead them straight and true, give them strength to their arms tautness to their hearts steadfastness in their faith they will need night blessings. their road will be long and hard for the enemy is strong. >> he may hurl back our forces, success may not come with rushing speed, but we shall return and again and again, and we know that by via grace and by the righteousness of our clause, our sons will try them yeah really remarkable moment can, and actually, i'm so glad that you brought us there. >> thank you for your time today. >> we actually have that prayer
