>> dana: three big stories we're following. first, some towns already flooded by the rising mississippi river are preparing for it to crest tomorrow as several states face new flash flood warnings. insight on who may not make the cut for the first dnc debate. following the memorable ceremonies in normandy yesterday, we bring you back to france, where the world is reminded what happened right after d-day. hello, everyone. i'm dana perino and this is "the daily briefing." but first the showdown with mexico over the border crisis coming to a head. president trump tweeting a short time ago, if we are able to make the deal with mexico and there's a good chance that we will, they will begin purchasing farm and agriculture products at very high levels starting immediately. if we are unable to make the deal, mexico will begin paying tariffs at the 5% level on

monday. vice president pence is leading the talks. i'm curious about the status and confused about the tweet and what the goal is here. >> reporter: yeah. seems the goal for the president maybe has shifted with that tweet towards agriculture. that was not part of the deal. he was talking about immigration as the reason that he's adding those tariffs going forward. i can tell you right now representatives from the u.s. and mexico are inside a room trying to work out a deal for mexico to avoid having a 5% tariff placed on them on everything that crosses the border starting monday. the vice president's chief of staff mark short said the president's plan is moving forward, but now with a caveat. >> there's a legal notification that goes forward today with a plan to implement tariffs on monday. i think that there is the ability, if negotiations continued to go well, that the president can turn that off at some point over the weekend. >> reporter: the hint there, if

there is enough progress, maybe the tariffs will be delayed. mark short said the vice president and secretary of state have added, or asked two suggestions of mexico to try and see if they can change some of the things they're doing. this morning short said the mexicans agreed to those changes going forward. also, they're adding 6,000 national guard troops on the southern border there. one of the items they're talking about right now according to short is the asylum process, having asylum seekers wait in mexico in order to come to the united states for their court hearings. back to you. >> dana: let the tariffs bring them to the table, so they're talking it through. the deadline is ticking. where will talks go from here? will they continue over the weekend? >> reporter: mexican government saying they're prepared to have a secretary of foreign affairs here as long as it takes to come up with a deal. the president of mexico said he does not want a confrontation with the u.s. government. he said he's optimistic that a deal can be worked out on this. mexican economy is reliant on

the united states. we are, by far, their largest importer of goods. items traveled back and forth across the border seven or eight times to make a final product, which is why the market is so worried about tariffs. tariffs on mexico, especially if they get to that 15% or 20% range attend of this year could have a big impact on the u.s. economy, more so than the tariffs that are placed on china. mexico's economy would feel the impact even worse than ours. dana? >> dana: thank you, edward, at the white house for us. as the tariffs loom, small businesses are bracing for the impact. nearly 75% of u.s. companies with fewer than 100 workers import goods from mexico. that means potentially big hit could be coming on their bottom line. joining me is linda mcmahon. pleasure to have you here. >> thank you. >> dana: the wall street journal's reporting that businesses are more cautious. we just got the jobs report. 75,000 jobs added in may. but we have seen a torrid pace.

tariffs, are they making it harder for small businesses to plan ahead? >> i look at the jobs report and was pleased to see unemployment is holding at 3.6%. when you look at wage growth, 3.1%. what we looked at over the past years, that is continuing for nonsupervisory jobs. >> dana: rates were growing at 3.4%. that's a little dip down to 3.1%. manufacturing jobs in this last jobs report only 5,000. is that a sign of anything or nothing to worry about? >> we've still got such good growth, good momentum. i'm happy to see the president's policies still having positive impacts. they're still seeing such optimism with small businesses. >> dana: record high. >> tariffs will give you a moment of pause. i think the fact that we are getting it's good news on what

we're hearing relative to mexican tariffs. i hope we will get that resolved. >> dana: good news because mexico is acting to send the national guard troops to the border. >> mexico started and i still think really is the primary driver for the president is the national security issue. >> dana: is the secondary driver than what the president was tweeting about. >> i don't want to get ahead of the president. i haven't spoken to him about it. >> dana: so president trump making decisions that are politically unpopular. tariffs might have to be one of them. if that's the leverage that you have to get political for a second, looking at the states hardest hit by these tariffs if the president goes through with them, texas number one at $107 billion. but michigan number two at $56.3 billion. and the president of automotive at ford said this. it would have a significant impact on the industry, ourselves included. the core issue is not a trade issue, it's illegal immigration

or immigration in general, but, of course, the trade tariffs get tied up in the topics which makes it a little more complicated. at what point do you think there might be other decisions that might come into play as political as 2020 looms? >> i don't think anything is made in a vacuum without some consideration toward the politics of it. let's be fair about that. i do think the president's first driving issue is really to stop this immigration overflow of illegal immigrants. >> dana: right. >> we are a generous country. we let 1 million immigrants come in legally every year. we are overwhelmed. democrats are saying, no, this is a manufactured crisis. >> dana: it's clearly not a manufactured crisis. you look at the number of immigrants crossing. if president obama were president and you had this number of people coming across, congress would have gotten together. republicans might have resisted, but i think you can recognize a crisis like this. but, politically, on the tariff issue, the democrats are

starting to have one economic argument, which is to say, the president's tax cuts didn't help you. you got $830 in your pocket from the tax cuts. but the tariffs are gonna cost you $931. is that an argument they'll be successful? >> i don't think so. the economy is so good. i think the president was right. if you really are going to stop this imbalance of trade we've had for so long, you have to do it when your economy is strong. so we did that. built the economy. jobs have been created. unemployment. the biggest issue with jobs right now is they don't have enough workers. >> dana: is that a reason to allow more migrants to come into the country? >> they can come in legally. the president has a great idea with the merit based. i think that works well on both sides. >> dana: we'll see if they get anything done. thank you for coming in. >> thank you, dana. >> dana: near collision between a navy warship and russian

destroyer. this is the second close call in three days between the navy and russian forces. jennifer griffin is at the pentagon. jennifer, it almost feels like russia is looking for a fight here. >> reporter: dana, the russian warship came from behind and forced the u.s. cruiser quickly to throttle back to avoid collision. the latest incident took place in the philippine scene while a helicopter was landing on the flight deck of a u.s. navy warship. this navy shows the russian destroyer within yards of the american guided missile cruiser uss chancellor. both warships armed with missiles and large naval guns. as she sailed past the american cruiser in what u.s. officials are describing as a highly dangerous maneuver, russian sailors could be seen sun bathing on the flight deck, mocking their american adversaries. the acting defense secretary had tough words for the russians on the steps of the pentagon. >> their behavior is unsafe and

unprofessional. we'll have military to military conversations with the russians. >> reporter: the russian government said they have launched a formal protest of its own over the incident and dispute the u.s. navy's version of events, including which body of water the two ships were in when the near collision took place. quote, uss chancellorville crossed the course of the russian destroyer in the south china sea. the destroyer had to perform urgent maneuvers to evade a possible collision. russia has been stepping up its harass phpbts of the u.s. navy. tuesday a russian fighter jet buzzed a navy reconnaissance plane in the eastern mediterranean near syria. the navy said its plane was flying in international air space during the 28 minute encounter. as western nations celebrated d-day, russian president putin hosted the chinese leader in moscow thursday. putin was snubbed by western leaders and not invited to attend d-day celebrations in

normandy. these latest encounters at sea are not so subtle reminders not to forget about moscow, dana. >> dana: somebody wants a little attention. better be careful about that. jennifer griffin at the pentagon, thank you. major progress in the push to uncover what russian probe. where the investigation is heading. joe biden is facing questions about his performance on the campaign trail following his flip flop on federal funds for abortion. ok everyone! our mission is to provide complete, balanced nutrition for strength and energy! whoo-hoo! great-tasting ensure. with nine grams of protein and twenty-six vitamins and minerals. ensure, for strength and energy.

wake up! there's a lot that needs to get done today. small things. big things. too hard to do alone things. day after day, you need to get it all done. and here to listen and help you through it all is bank of america. with the expertise and know-how you need to reach that blissful state of done-ness. so let's get after it. ♪ everything is all right what would you like the power to do?® ♪ all right

>> dana: joe biden is changing his stance on the hyde resolution. >> i believe healthcare is a right, i can no longer support an amendment that makes that right dependent on someone's zip

code. just as i have never attempted to impose my views on anyone else as to when life begins, i have never attempted to impose my view on who should pay for it if people fundamentally disagree. >> dana: biden's campaign faces growing pressure from the left. chris stirewalt is my co-host of the "i'll tell you what" podcast. just 24 hours ago, biden had another position. then he had another position. what do you think's going on here? how do you think this looks for his campaign? >> there's a new survey out today dubbed by marist college for public broadcasting. it looks at what american opinions are on abortion. when i say that the percentage of americans who would likely support federally funded taxpayer funded abortion is going to be vanishingly small. there are very few people, relatively speaking, who want a

change in the status quo. it's just tiny the people who want that. but this loud and sro kaeupbl side the democratic party. the worst part about all of this for biden -- there's a lot about this that's bad for biden. it looks bad. it's sloppy. it's poor execution. "the atlantic" has a story today talking about how biden's own staff woed him on this. >> dana: tell me about this. >> they were listening to alyssa milano, former star of "who's the boss" who is a liberal activist. they were getting pressure from her, pressure from others. biden was resistant. so his own staff, his own staff rolled him and allowed external pressure to hurt him and then let him come out with this sort of jack leg stumbling into making this reversal of a position that he had held for 40 years. it was terrible staff work. >> dana: who's the boss indeed? >> quite right. >> dana: seth molten tweeted

this. bravo for joe biden for reversing his longstanding support for the hyde amendment. it takes courage to admit when you're wrong, especially when those decisions affect millions of people. now to the iraq war. this is the first time you have heard or seen him taking shots from others. even the shots against him about the crime bill came from donald trump. this you see there's a concerted effort to try to take down the number one candidate. >> so the question for biden is, is he headed for the same kind of experience mitt romney had in 2012 on the republican side in which you have a crowded field, including a lot of radical, who are gonna come after him. they believe a lot of democrats believe donald trump's easy to beat. so they're more interested in making sure they have an extreme liberal, that they have something from the far left as their nominee than they are about just winning. besieging of biden has been going on for many months, even before he got in the race. the question now, this is the crucial thing. if biden's staff is this bad,

and they are this bad to him and he is this unable to control them, they're not going to be able to continue to handle them. he dealt with this air sniffing stuff. he dealt with his son wented to the ukraine. they've been doing okay rising above the fray. but if this is the template for what they're going to be doing going forward, this will be a disaster. >> dana: check out david herthonia which he shows you biden's position on this over the years. there's an entire thread he put forward. i want to ask you about something we talked about on our podcast. you put the 20 democrats into four tears. tier one, two, three and four leading up to the democratic debate. walk me through it. >> we should disclaim, these are not official rankings that will come out later. >> dana: this is just off the top of your head. >> there's biden by himself. then there's the people who might credibly ben it from a

biden collapse. you've got bernie sanders, kamala harris, pete buttigieg and beto o'rourke, still, even now. >> dana: really? >> yes, even now. so that's that. that's like the adults table. and then you have the other people who we jokingly in a reference to the princess bride describe it as slightly live and mostly dead. slightly live in tier three. those are the senators like bennett and booker and gillibrand and klobuchar, hickenlooper, castro. you've got, oh, john delaney. i don't know if delaney gets three. then you have the mostly dead, which is tier four. these are people running, nobody seems to care much and they might miss the cut for the democratic debate. they got to wonder as they're out there eating elephant ears at the county fairs if this is really what they want to do with

their time. >> dana: if nothing else, it's delicious. >> if anything, an elephant ear is delicious. >> dana: have a great weekend. 2020 kirstjen nielsens not ready to move past the georgia governor's race. why they say democrat stacey abrams was robbed. flooding in the heartland is expected to get worse around st. louis when rivers in that area will crest.

we like drip coffee, layovers- -and waiting on hold. what we don't like is relying on fancy technology for help. snail mail! we were invited to a y2k party... uh, didn't that happen, like, 20 years ago? oh, look, karolyn, we've got a mathematician on our hands! check it out! now you can schedule a callback

or reschedule an appointment, even on nights and weekends. today's xfinity service. simple. easy. awesome. i'd rather not. >> dana: people in the heartland are keeping an eye on three rivers. homes near st. louis are under water as the mississippi is about to crest. we have fox news team coverage. our meteorologist is tracking an incoming storm. let's go to matt finn. he's still in alton, illinois, where they're dealing with a lot of stuff there. >> reporter: officials in the saint charles county area tell us 2,000 structures have been affected or flooded. i want to briefly point out this red line up against the white wall in the middle back there. that red line represents flood level of 1993 which is the worst flood to ever hit this area and refer to as one of the worst natural disasters in the united states history.

you can see the water right now is getting very close to that red line. to my right, kind of a feat of man kind here. people keeping the mighty mississippi river at bay and out of their businesses. they've constructed this wall here. one of the workers tells us one of these pups is pumping out 4,000 gallons of water per minute from this downtown business corridor. police tell us the water is still rising. mississippi is not expected to crest until tomorrow at 39 feet. that is 18 feet above the flood stage. some people here are staying in their homes even though it's partially under water. one man tells us he's taking his wife to and from work on a boat. one woman said the 1993 flood was one of the worst things she's ever seen. some farmers and neighbors are taking a huge hit.

>> it never stops. that woman and so many preparing this to the 1993 flood. one woman's car was sinking. not far from there, one man died. it's been weeks of tornados and flooding. the governor said fema is set to tour half the county in this state for disaster relief. >> dana: they're gonna need the nation's help. thank you, matt finn. now to our meteorologist for more on that flooding in the south. that is very troubling. >> it is so troubling. there's going to be a lot of people who will not be able to

plant. it will be over. complete loss of their crops which will be so devastating to them. it's such a big area also. everything you see there on the map, those are all the rivers in major or moderate flood stage. they haven't been getting that much rain in the central part of the country at least recently it has calmed down. i will tell you, anywhere you see that loop, the mississippi water shed. fifth largest water shed anywhere on the planet. any drop of rain that falls in there eventually gets to the mississippi river and drains out toward parts of the central gulf. that's the same area that since last winter had record breaking snowfall, record breaking rainfall this spring. it's why those images from illinois. then you go down to arkansas. we've seen it in missouri, kansas, nebraska. such a widespread area. for the last number of weeks, the southeast hasn't been able to buy a drop of rain. they've been dealing with temperatures way above average. this is the last week.

starting to get rain across the southeast. they're getting way too much of it. some spots across the southeast now, say georgia into south carolina, probably another 4 to 5 inches of rain over the next four to five days. so we will see that. flash flooding that's going on across areas of the southeast. that on going river flooding is that big problem. that water doesn't come and go away real quick. if your house floods very quickly and the water is gone, an hour of water on your drywall doesn't cause many problems. days and days, it will rot everything and you'll have to completely destroy everything. >> dana: my friend in nashville had a post, his wheel barrow out back for all the work he does. it was filled with water. we'll be keeping in touch with you. our reporting on this weather event has been amaying. >> you bet. >> dana: we learn more about the

investigation into the start of the russia probe. plus, a terror plot foiled in new york city. what authorities say a suspect was planning for times square. fact is, every insurance company hopes you drive safely. but allstate actually helps you drive safely... with drivewise. it lets you know when you go too fast... ...and brake too hard. with feedback to help you drive safer. giving you the power to actually lower your cost.

>> dana: a terror plot thwarted a new york city man arrested accused of plotting to shoot people in times square. >> reporter: right now that man is in federal prison in brooklyn. the criminal complaint just came down and it is full of alarming details. the suspect is 22 from bangladesh and was living as a permanent resident in queens. police arrested him last night after he tried to buy two semiautomatic pistols with the serial numbers removed from under cover officers. the fbi had been building the case against him since august of last year when an under cover agent first met with olof.

during that meeting and others, they say he repeatedly praised isis, al qaeda and bin laden and said he admired the attack on september 11th. later he allegedly talked about planning his own attack with a suicide vest in times square or washington, d.c. where he could kill a senior government official. he allegedly complained about not having enough bomb making materials and said, quote, he would need a circle and when it blows up the balls explode and the metal goes everywhere. the better the explosives, the more farther the shrapnel could go. agents said he discussed buying grenades because they could, quote, take out at least eight people. he also said he took cell phone video of times square so he could plan his attack and then said it would make him happy to see the flag of islam on the twin towers or the empire state building. investigators said there was never a threat to times square that agents were always watching his moves. of course, his criminal complaint paints a dark picture of what agents say this man

allegedly wanted to see happen. dana? >> dana: jackie, thank you. house democrats finishing up a contempt resolution for attorney general william barr and don mcgahn for not complying with congressional subpoenas. fox news is learning more about the origin of the russian probe. catherine herridge is live in washington with more on how this began. >> reporter: good afternoon. the justice department has not publicly responded to the resolution which goes to the house rules committee monday. it would allow house democrats to pursue what's called civil contempt, which means going to federal court to enforce subpoenas for attorney general barr and former white house counsel don mcgahn. administration and justice department officials have been consistent arguing house democrats acted prematurely, issuing subpoena befores the negotiation process was exhausted. and requesting documents including grand jury information that the attorney general could not provide without court

approval, as well as communication specifically mcgahn that remain shielded by executive privilege. in the last few minutes the ranching republican on the house judiciary committee has warned chairman nadler that calling john dean to testify monday on capitol hill about obstruction in the mueller probe violated witness testimony, legislative work and not personality. it's clear political divide is there. >> bringing contempt next week against bill barr in the committee itself. there's no basis for the process. >> doj is a reckless band of outlaws. there's no sense of negotiating with them. this is not a negotiation. >> american people deserve to have the facts. so, no, i'm completely fine with this action. >> reporter: separately sources within the justice department confirmed to fox news that u.s. attorney john durham has been meeting with barr on multiple

occasions as he launches the federal review into the genesis of the fbi's 2016 russian probe. he describes him as very dialled an n and asked the right questions about alleged surveillance abuse. >> dana: thank you. i know we're anxious for that. are you ready for campaign trail mix? today we have rivals joining to support a losing candidate. a new front in the war against coal. and 2020 long shot packs her bags and moves to iowa. doug mcelway is live in washington with more. doug? >> reporter: what better place for pete buttigieg than in atlanta georgia. georgia is the state where democratic candidate stacey abrams still says voter suppression denied her a win and she has not let up since. buttigieg hopped on her bandwagon and so has joe biden. >> voter suppression. we saw it first hand.

it's why one of the most talented people stacey abrams isn't your governor today. >> reporter: the win in georgia was due in part to a purge of voter rolls. but it was a democratic legislature and a democratic governor zell miller who signed the state's legislation which removed 600,000 voters from the rolls because they had not voted in the past three elections. former city mayor michael bloomberg is putting $500 million of his own money into a campaign to close every coal powered plant in the united states and halt the growth of natural gas. he said gridlock in washington means the states have to combat climate change themselves. quote, we're in a race against time with climate change. the u.s. has become the world's largest producer of oil and natural gas through the use of fracking, which is banned in new york state. they say if you want to run for president, you got to spend a lot of time in iowa. author, lecturer and mary anne

williamson is heeding that advice. she lived in new york and l.a. but has moved to fly overcountries, des moines iowa. she's not the fir tot do that. chris dodd moved to iowa in advance of that state's caucuses. no word on if she likes corn dogs. wasn't it your boss, dana, was it in iowa, that george bush snatched a piece of corn right off the stalk and ate it raw? >> dana: it sounds like him. i don't recall that, but when you're there, you gotta partake. got to poll iowa. thank you. have a great weekend. >> you, too. >> a guy like that shouldn't be part of -- shouldn't be part of our league, being honest with you. that's my personal opinion. that's how i feel. >> dana: golden state warrior's co-owner caught shoving an nba player. and a canine companion service

dog who comforted victims after the virginia beach shooting last week. let me ask you something. can the past help you write the future? can you feel calm in the eye of a storm? can you do more with less? can you raise the bar while reducing your footprint? for our 100 years we've been answering the questions of today to meet the energy needs of tomorrow. southern company why go with anybody else? we know their rates are good, we know that they're always going to take care of us. it was an instant savings and i should have changed a long time ago. we're the tenney's and we're usaa members for life. call usaa to start saving on insurance today.

>> dana: golden state warriors co-owner banned from going to games for a year. all because of this confrontation. kyle lowry leaped into the crowd during last night's nba finals game. that's when the minority owner mark stevens shoved him. the nba commissioner said this. >> i would have been, of course, disappointed had it had been a fan. i was even more disappointed that it was somebody who is a member of the nba family. as we said earlier today, anyone who is part of an nba team or part of our overall organization should be held to a higher

standard. >> dana: that was wednesday's game. tyrus joins me. crowd participation, not a good thing, right? >> unfortunately, the drake situation says stuff. in this situation, it's not just a push. he actually called lowry some pretty bad names. original punishment was he was suspended for the rest of the playoffs. then lebron james jumped in. >> dana: we have the lebron james tweet just said facts, exclamation point. golden state warriors statement is we are extremely disappointed and offer our sincere apology to kyle lowry and the toronto raptors organization for this misconduct. there is no place for any action like this. >> if it would have been the other way around, if lowry would have pushed a fan, this would have been a three-hour special. punishment definitely fits the

crime and he should be suspended for a year. i applaud them for being the right thing. >> dana: a pool company in london, have you seen this? they have this new infinity pool. it's like 360 degree view. the only way you can get into the pool is from underneath. >> it's similar to the singapore one which is the world's biggest. have you ever seen the singapore roof top pool. >> dana: i would never get in that. >> no? you don't like views? >> dana: i'm not that comfortable in water. >> i'm a big fish. it's cool. of course you have to go underneath. >> dana: what about my hair? honestly. >> maybe wear one of those swim caps. >> dana: do you wear a hat in the water? >> they don't really take well. soon as lids makes a water proof hat, i'm there. >> dana: honda got us a treat. we are going to test these pasta straws. you know the paper straw. >> snacks. >> dana: we aim to please.

she got you a smoothie. i got one, too. i don't mind the idea of a pasta straw. what about you? >> i like twizzler straws. >> dana: let's see. i'm gonna let him go first so we don't have dead air on here. >> that's why you are who you are. i went straight for the food. did it work? >> feels like a regular straw. hard texture. >> dana: this is not a bad idea. >> the paper ones break. >> dana: how do you think the turtles will feel about this in the ocean? >> it will be a soft floodle by the time it gets to them. that's my only concern. how long do you have the hard pasta straw before it turns to a noodle? >> dana: i can imagine if you are given a smoothie, it doesn't last long. >> don't think of me. i eat quick. i don't mess around. the average person, like you, who would sip on this gradually over a two hour period driving me insane, what would the straw look like at that point?

will it hold up? >> dana: we could do an experiment. i could wait until "the five" and we could find out. >> even if you weren't waiting, you would still be sipping. >> dana: you don't want to drink it too fast. you'll get an ice cream headache. >> look at you. always thinking. >> dana: last week was a good show. >> thanks to you. >> dana: you and cat were funny. the production, the team do an amazing job. the host is not too bad. >> what's his name? >> dana: look at this. title of the show, greg guttfeld show. thank you. >> thank you. >> dana: d-day plus one. american and allied forces landing on normandy. that was just the first step to liberate europe from nazi tyranny. speaking of the heroes of world war ii, this is the draft card of my grandfather, who also wore the uniform. how ancestry.com helped me learn more about my family's military history, next. ok everyone! our mission is to provide complete,

>> it's d-day plus one. dramatic scenes from 75 years ago. you can imagine it was the start of a long march to victory. greg palkot is live in a town that saw intense fighting against the nazis. tell us about that, greg. >> hi, dana. that's right. the d-day anniversary might be over, but in towns like this and others, 75 years ago today the fight had just begun. today we saw in this town a re-enactment of a crucial u.s. army victory here. even though this play is a few miles from the d-day beaches, it would take a week after that to drive the germans out. one veteran told us the ongoing

clashes with the german enemy, it was like having a d-day every day. dana, with present enemies lurking all around, not lost on general mark millie. both of his parents participated in world war ii. take a listen to what he told us today. >> we don't want those days to happen again. they won't if we remain strong, remain committed and remain true to our values in the international world. we keep our friends and allies close. we put our adversaries on notice that you don't mess with the united states of america. >> probably a good reason why milley presided over an official reenlistment of a group of current day 101st airborne soldiers. this is the same unit that parachuted here 75 years ago. listen to a veteran of that unit that came in here a long time

ago and what he is thinking about, about the future. >> how does it feel being here now 75 years later in carentan? >> i'll be back next year. >> you are? >> yes. that's a promise. that's time rice. he parachuted in here, 97 years old. very symbolic of what we need to think about for the future and think about 75 years ago. back to you. >> dana: time rice has been an amazing spokesperson for the veterans. we appreciate your reporting. greg palkot, thank you. the bravery of the greatest generation hits home for me. both of my grandfathers served in world war ii. i got a chance to learn more about them and their service. michelle is a family historian at ancestry.com. you dug into the records to help me figure out what was going on

in their lives at the time. >> right. before we dive into your family stories, in honor of the 75th anniversary of d-day, ancestry wants to make those types of discoveries available for everyone. we're opening all of our services for free now through june 9, 340 million records. >> dana: people can go on, put in their names and get taken to the records? they're available for them? >> right. if you want to find out if someone is in your family tree that might have been a serviceman or woman, you can search to see if there's any military records associated with their name. >> dana: can they take pictures, print it out? >> right. when we have these events or anniversaries, it's easier to hear the stories but not do anything. we want to encourage people to find those stories in their family tree. >> dana: have you seen a surge in people searching as we led up

to this anniversary of d-day? >> the past 15 years we've seen a surge. the interest and access ability to history has grown. it's the story of you. it's something that can give you personal context about your family culture, where you came from that can come in no other way. >> shepard: you find that you need to be more killed to mow what to look for or is that something that ancestry.com helps you figure out? it can be overwhelming. >> i don't think it has to be. ultimately if you want to know about your family history. for example, in my family, i don't have any world war ii servicemen. my grandmother was 11 years old when pearl harbor happened. i asked her, tell me what it was like. like what was the story. she said they got a phone call, had a family dinner. go turn on the radio. they huddled around the radio. she said they're saying there was an attack on pearl harbor. i don't know what that was or meant. i knew something horrible

happened. those are the stories that we can't forget. those are the stories that help create a family culture. >> dana: we have 90 seconds. i want to point out a couple of things. we've been scrolling through pictures. maybe we can put a couple more up here. both grandfathers in my family fought. william perino. he's holding me there. he fought in the pacific. his wife, my grandmother, they both passed. they met on a blind day on the day he got back from the war. >> we found a world war ii record of him where he fought in the battle of saipan. you have incredible connections. >> my maternal grandmother, aunt patty sue, the holder of all the photographs for our family, they sent me many.

that's the perino side there. all the black and white pictures are from the brookses. my grandmother, when he went to war in europe, she went to denver to be a rosy the riveter. >> amazing. for some people they don't feel like they have any idea where to start. a dna test is a great way to start. there's a father's day sale happening now through june 17 where you can get a dna test for $59. >> and i love this picture. they were in love. i have good examples of good marriages, good relationships. they had been through a lot. they had the experience of meeting on a blind date, having their loved one go away. here we are on fox news. we appreciate it, mitchell. thanks for being here and ancestry.com. >> sure. >> dana: thanks for joining us. i'll see you on "the five." it's fan mail friday. that's fun. we'll be there for you.
