12:01 pm
we don't yet have the details. it's in the details where the devil also lies. so we'll wait for those. earlier today, it was president trump that said there might be something miraculous to happen. whether this is the matter to which he was referring remains to be seen. when we have more, we'll bring it to you right away. >> they battled not for control and domination but for liberty, democracy and self-rule. the lives that they gave, the sacrifice that they made did not just win a battle. it did not just win a war. those that fought here won a future for our nation. they won the survival of our civilization.
12:02 pm
>> we know what we owe, to you, brethren, our freedom. on behalf of my nation, i just want to say thank you. >> shepard: the eyes of the world are upon you. the hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you. those were the parting words from general dwight d. eisenhower as allied troops embarked on the largest invasion by sea in human history. to liberate france from the nazi war machine. 75 years ago today, 160,000 americans, britts and canadians surprised hitler in her own new back yard handing on the heavily defended beaches of normandy. d-day code named operation over-lord, was a massive gamble.
12:03 pm
there was no turning back. failure was not an option. by the end of the day, the allies controlled the beaches. the waters and sands of normandy. stained with the blood of our heros. d-day signals the beginning of the end of the third reich. less than a year, hitler would fall. historians said 2,500 americans died on d-day. many made the ultimate sacrifice were not battle hardened soldiers but teenagers, farm boys from the south and the midwest, kids that just graduated high school. their graves sit on a cliff overlooking the stretch of shoreline where they fought and died for our freedom. today president trump and the french president, manuel macron walks among the thousands of crosses and returned to normandy
12:04 pm
75 years later. john roberts reporting live from the american cemetery. john? >> shep, good evening to you. when you take a look at omaha beach now, it's about 400 yards that way. it's peaceful and tranquil. i was over at the wall looking down. there were some jeeps that were running up and down the sand in a commemorative re-enactment. you can't begin to imagine what it might have been like down there on omaha beach 75 years ago. if it wasn't for the bravery shown by the young men and the teeth, the hail of gun fire and other fire that was raining down on the beach, the world that we live in now might be a very different place. in his speech today, which was very heartfelt and pointed, up trump recognized the young men were fighting for the highest stakes possible. the president saying that this was a battle for civilization, a battle between good and evil. listen here. >> these men enlisted their
12:05 pm
lives in a great crusade. one of the greatest of all times. their mission is the story of an epic battle and a ferocious eternal struggle between good and evil. on june 6, 1944, they joined a liberation force of awesome power. the g.i.s that boarded the landing craft that morning knew that they carried on their shoulders not just the pack of a soldier, but the fate of the world. >> while relations between the united states and france have waxed and waned over the decades, one constant remains. the deep and abiding respect for what happened here 75 years ago. today the french president, emmanuel macron bestowed the order of the knights of legion
12:06 pm
of honor of five veterans on d-day thanking all of those alive and those that gave their lives for helping to save france. listen to macron here. >> on behalf of my country, on behalf of france, i bow down before their bravery. i bow down before their immense sacrifice of the 37,000 killed, the 19,000 reported missing that died as heros, i bow down to our veterans and i say thank you. >> this is probably growing to be the last significant anniversary for the greatest generation. the youngest people that are here today, veterans not only of d-day and world war ii are in their early 90s now. it would be impossible for them to survive through to the 100th anniversary. it was such a show they put on today. it was one for the ages. shep, if i could, just go back to what you talked to at the top. the potential deal on mexico. i talked to two sources before
12:07 pm
you went on the air. both of whom waived me off of that idea. i'll get back to you. >> shepard: we don't have it. when it showed up in bloomberg and "the washington post," we thought we would tell. thanks, john. we'll get back to him, of course. we're honored to have a decorated world war ii veteran that stormed the beach on d-day. john mchew served in the first infantry division. in 1944, he landed at 7:30 a.m. he says there were about ten others in his landing craft. as they tried to get to shore, a german shell blew up the boat behind them. corporal mchugh was carrying a tripod for a 30 caliber machine gun. along with the tripod goes the machine gun. the soldier carrying that died. so corporal mchugh had to crawl
12:08 pm
along the beach without a gun while the nazis fired at him all day. on day two of the invasion, corporal mchugh said the allies faced enormous hedge rows and had no way of knowing if the enemy was behind them. there was just so many obstacles to overcome in a long and bloody push towards germany. after surviving the invasion of normandy, corporal mchugh spent months fighting the nazis including battle of the bulge. he earned the silver star, the bronze star, the european theater of operations ribbon that includes a silver arrow or arrowhead, i should say, for the normandy invasion. two presidential unit citations and the combat infantry badge. after the allies triumphed in 1945, corporal mchugh came home to new york and married his
12:09 pm
childhood sweet hair, rosy mcgee. the couple has three children, three grandchildren, seven great grandchildren. he's the first generation irish american. his family says corporal mchugh has a beautiful irish tenor voice and they still ask him to sing "danny boy" on special occasions. he's with us now on set. a member of america's greatest generation, corporal john mchugh. welcome. >> thank you. >> shepard: we honor you today. thanks for being here. >> thank you for asking me. this is wonderful. >> shepard: my father is not a brand new guy. he's like 91 plus. he doesn't have a lot of memories from that time. tell me your memories of this day back then. >> d-day, you can't describe. you're petrified. absolutely petrified. a guy falling there, a guy
12:10 pm
falling there. it's hell. it was hell on earth. can't describe it. i don't think anyone can describe it. needless to say, i had a bad day. >> shepard: you had no gun. how did you survive with no gun? >> well, i had my pistol. you know, i just kept crawling up. see how far we could go. >> shepard: as you crawled along the beach, what were you seeing and hearing? >> dead bodies. >> shepard: a lot of dead bodies. >> a lot of dead bodies. you just keep going up. that's all. have to keep moving.
12:11 pm
but there were a lot of dead bodies. the beach i landed on was the worst beach. unknown to them, they had an infantry division on maneuvers, unknown to them, practicing for an invasion. so we had the worst casualties. i think someone said there was about 2,000 on that beach that day. but i don't know the exact number. needless to say, it was a bad day. >> shepard: when you went over a young man, you were in a division that had some seasoned fighters. you were fortunate in that way, right? >> i certainly was. >> shepard: tell us about that. >> these guys always thought
12:12 pm
they were going home the next day. >> shepard: because they fought before. >> they were in africa. in fact, they really thought when they went to england, they were going home. somebody told them about this. they didn't realize the scope of this. i was fortunate to get in with a lot of veterans. because i was a brand new rookie and scared stiff. >> shepard: do you remember what your thoughts were when you found out we were supposed to have invaded the day before on june 5, but when you found out we're going to invade, did you think about the big picture, the fighting for freedom or was it a matter of will i have to do this or what did you? >> none of those thoughts about freedom. i was in the army. they told me to go that way and i went that way. it was all automatic.
12:13 pm
not much thought. i thought about getting killed. yeah. >> shepard: there were a lot of battles after that day. >> oh, yeah. a lot of battles. i went all the way to czech. fierce battles. >> shepard: do you remember the day you found out it was over and could you describe that to us? >> that what? >> shepard: that you were going home. >> well, it was a quiet area now. i guess they knew it ahead of us. but we were -- as soon as somebody got the word from headquarters, they started running up and down, the war is over, the war is over. i dug the biggest hole and i
12:14 pm
went sitting in it. i don't want nobody making a mistake. >> shepard: you're going to hide until they get you out. >> that's right. i'm here. that's where you put me. i'm staying. >> shepard: wow. everyone in this room and in this building and in this city and in this country is i -- eternally grateful. >> you got drafted. you had to do it. i did it. did it pretty good, too. you don't want to go, you don't want to be there. it was yesterday. >> shepard: indeed it was. i hope your today and tomorrow is fantastic. an honor to meet you. >> thank you. >> shepard: corporal john mchugh of the greatest generation. see you soon. we'll be back. ♪ mmm, exactly!

>> shepard: i mentioned at the top of this news hour, there's some reports of what is a possible deal to avoid tariffs on hundreds of billions of goods coming to america from mexico. the early reports came in in the last half hour from bloomberg news that there may have been a break through. we can't confirm this. we don't have this independently. when "the washington post" added its reporting, that mexico ames now to avoid the taxes with a potential deal that would stem migrant travel and allow the united states to deport central americans asylum seekers, we thought it was worth while to bring to your attention. that said, we don't have any details. earlier today, the president said something miraculous could happen. so whether it's related, we don't know. we know this was relegated to the staff level after talks didn't go very far. all of the reporting is from the president's team and the other

12:21 pm
reporting that mexican officials apprehended 1,000 central american migrants yesterday. mexico's president has remained positive in this. he says he's optimistic and the tariffs are not the right way to go about this, shep. >> shepard: the white house, some of his regular spokesperson and high level folks there, they have seemed much less optimistic. >> right. they've been telegraphing that monday is the day the tariffs will go on unless the issues have been satisfied and basically these issues -- the president is not bluffing on this. earlier today, the president said that mexico, the tariffs will go on, i mean it, too, i'm happy with it. a lot of people, senators included have no idea what they're talking about when it comes to tariffs. there's been push back, especially from some republicans that don't want to see the tariffs. this is on top of the massive trade fight on going on chinese goods. they don't like the prospect of
12:22 pm
adding mexican tariffs to it. >> shepard: thanks, rich. there's word now a fourth american died at a popular resort chain in the dominican republic. her family says she had a drink in her room and never woke up, which sounds familiar. the latest next. our reporting continues this thursday afternoon. ♪ dealing with psoriatic arthritis pain was so frustrating. my skin... it was embarrassing. my joints... they hurt. the pain and swelling. the tenderness. the psoriasis.
