lives for their brothers, for their countries, and for the survival of liberty. >> reporter: a tribute to their bravery. >> private pickett, you honor us all with your presence. >> reporter: a 21-gun salute. and a flyover over omaha beach, one of the main landing places for american troops that day. this is one of the last big remembrances for the brave men who battled here. tom rice is one of them, a 97-year-old paratrooper to commemorate by making one more jump. and he's carrying pressure this cargo, a parachute patch trusted to him by the granddaughter of a veteran in an emotional meeting.

>> the only thing that he kept and gave to me. >> reporter: the patch very important for her grandfather. >> it was a symbol of the day his life changed forever. >> reporter: and so is the man strapped to a partner. he makes the jump to mark the sacre of the thousands who died that day. >> nobody. nobody got hurt. >> reporter: one of the increasingly few survivors who was a witness to one of the most important battles in history. >> thank you for my freedom, sir. >> lester, impossible to watch that without a lump in your throat. you've been talking to so many veterans. you know? what are they saying about that day all of those years ago? do they realize they would be a part of history? >> i don't think they did, savannah. i talked to some of them about

that, and they knew there would be a landing. one of them said, look, we practiced it, on different shores in england and never knew when the day would be. he says he was 18 years old, and so didn't know what was going to happen and that moment just fighting to get onshore and all of these years later see all this and are stunned by the celebration. most of them at the end of the war simply went back to their lives, and jobs, and family, and the mundane stuff. >> it was such a fitting tribute this morning, lester. so many moments that were moving. the veterans who were there, a few dozen as i understand it, as d-day veterans, how did they take in the ceremony this morning? >> well, the ceremony is still -- some of it is still underway. i haven't been able to talk to anyone who attended that, but there's a genuine sense they don't want to be heroes. the heroes are under those graves behind me at the american

cemetery. they appreciate the honor. they are celebrities around here. we've one into some of them pausing for pictures every few feet. they are -- the toast right now as people remember 75 years after that historic moment. >> hmm. well, they deserve all of the praise and honor and are really absorbing it. lester, thank you so much for your coverage. we'll have a lot more on this anniversary just ahead. tom brokaw joins us from normandy and we'll talk live with legendary filmmaker ken burns with a documentary on world war ii. >> that is right. while the president is in europe, he remains focused on his demand for more border security back here at home with new threats of talks of taxes of goods in mexico if in may alone, illegal borde crossings reached the highest.

>> reporter: fast approaching new tariff it's on mexico. u.s. and mexican investigators set to meet for a second day today. the president sending the message to mexican officials, their offer so far, not nearly enough overnight the president speaking out about the high-stakes talks between the u.s. and the mexico. >> i think a lot of progress was made yesterday, but we have to make a lot of progress. >> reporter: hitting out at the senators many republicans who are opposed to new tariffs, while stressing that the u.s. is prepared to act. >> and a lot of people, senators included, they have no idea what they're talking about when it comes to tariffs they have no, absolutely no idea we'll see what happens but something pretty dramatic could happen. >> reporter: vice president mike pence tweeting out, this image of the talks overnight, at issue, president trump is threatening to impose 5% tariffs on mexican goods monday, if mexico doesn't do more to stem the flow of migrants into the u.s. speaking from ireland earlier in the day, mr. trump digging in. >> mex has to stop it,

otherwise, we won't be able to do business. it's a very simple thing >> reporter: as the mexica foreign minister expressed measured confidence. >> we are optimistic because we have a good meeting. >> reporter: now the u.s. is aiming to ratchet up the pressure on mexico customs and border protection officials announcing a surge o undocumented immigrants attempting to cross the southern border in may. more than 144,000 a 13-year high, officials say, but it comes as opposition from the president's own party is mounting with fears the tariffs would hurt the economy and consumers. >> do you plan to have a briefing from the president? >> i intend to talk to him as soon as we can arrange obviously, he and a lot of the accountant are your assess right now. but that's i think the next order of business. >> reporter: many american businesses also nervous. in nogales, arizona, a few miles from the border, jaime chamberlain distributes vegetables across the border to

the u.s. and worries about his bottom line >> it could be devastating for the employees i have here. absolutely the wrong way to negotiate with our number one trading partner. >> reporter: and just outside d.c. in rockville, maryland, mom's organic market says it's their customers who will pay more due to tariffs. not mexico. >> when we have a cost increase, like always, all grocery stores have to pass that on. >> apparently, senate majority leader mitch mcconnell, there's word now that he's trying to make a last-minute pitch from trying to keep the tariffs from going into effect on monday. what more are you hearing than >> reporter: right, craig. according to republican officials, mitch mcconnell asked white house officials to urge the president not to impose the mexico tariffs until mr. trump has had a chance to hear republicans' concerns in person. many republican senators worry the tariffs could hurt their constituents by driving up prices on everything from cars to groceries based on my conversations here, the president has no plans to comply at this point

a senior administration official telling me the president is likely to move forward, if there's no concrete deal by monday now, with the president still overseas, the expectations that the meetings today will yield any type of deal, pretty low, craig and savannah. >> kristen welker at the white house. thank you. the former sheriff's deputy charged for not doing enough to stop the parkland school shooting is fighting to get out of jail this morning, but grieving parents are applauding his arrest nbc's kerry sanders joins us with these overnight developments kerry, good morning. >> reporter: well, good morning, savannah this morning, deputy scott peterson, now a former deputy, is being held here in the same jail as the accused parkland gunman nikolas cruz but nbc news has learned it may not be for long because someone has offered anonymously to post his $102,000 bond former deputy scott peterson hopes as early as this afternoon he'll meet conditions for

release and walk out of jail >> i will call scott peterson. >> reporter: wednesday peterson learned he must first post a $102,000 bond, wear an ankle monitor and surrender his passport. >> i think scott is where most people would be. he's sad and disappointed. >> reporter: peterson's lawyer says his client is innocent of criminal wrongdoing in the parkland school massacre >> i can understand why people are mad and people should rightfully be mad. but i believe their anger is misplaced. >> reporter: during the marjory stoneman douglas high school attack surveillance shows peterson the only armed officer at the school standing outside the freshman building for 48 minutes while inside alleged gunman nikolas cruz's deadly rampage went unchallenged. 17 students and school staff died that day includin matt schacter's 14-year-old son alex was one of those killed. >> he could have done something. he chose to do nothing. >> you freeze. >> reporter: in an exclusive

interview a year ago, peterson's decision to stay put was in accordance with his training >> if i'm a parent whose child died in that building you do think there's a shooter inside, why aren't you going inside? >> because, savannah, i didn't know if he was in there. i didn't know if he was outside. >> why not check it out. >> what i was trained to contain the area >> are his words haunting him now because several of the things he told savannah guthrie are cited in the charges >> i don't think so. i think that the truth will come out. i don't think scott has ever had any hesitation regarding what he did that day and what his actions were. >> reporter: but prosecutors allege it's what he did not do that day that's the real crime >> kerry, a lot of talk in legal circles about this case, because it's near unprecedented and turns on whether or not scott peterson is considered a caregiver under the law. can you explain why that's so

important? >> reporter: well, in florida, a caregiver is somebody like a parent of the child or when the child's at school the statute in florida says it is the schoolteacher, but peterson's attorney says to extend that term caregiver to a sworn officer on a campus is really a stretch, and this will ultimately all turn on a decision ultimately to be made by a judge, and interestingly, the judge who randomly was selected to handle this case against scott peterson is the same judge who is presiding over the alleged parkland gunman nikolas cruz's case. now to a disturbing case in ohio where a doctor accused of murders dozens of his own patients officials say he knowingly ordered excessive doses of powerful painkillers leading to

fatal overdoses. nbc's morgan radford is here with details morgan, a bizarre story. >> reporter: and mysterious and lingering questions. dr. william usual charged with 25 counts of murder each carrying a possible sentence of 15 years to life in prison but what's still not clear this morning, prosecutors say, is why he did it. former dr. william fusal. >> do you maintain you're an innocent man here in all of this >> reporter: walking in silence ignoring reporters. >> doctor, your patients' families want to hear from you what do you say? >> reporter: headed to a ohio courtroom to turn himself in pleading not guilty to 25 counts of murder. he is accused of killing 25 intensive care patients over the last four years by giving them deadly doses of the powerful opioid fentanyl while working in one of the largest hospital systems in central ohio. prosecutors say he prescribed those patients between 500 and

2,000 micrograms of the drug up to 20 times the typical dose. ultimately causing or at least quickening they are death. >> this breach of a doctor's oath is vile. >> reporter: the charges coming after a six-month investigation that began after a pharmacist alerted hospital officials to the high dosage prescriptions. he was fired last december his medical license suspended a month later. his attorney says he never meant to kill anyone and that he plans to clear his name at trial. >> this is not a murder case the doctor's entire adult life has been to help and save people >> it's just not normal, obviously. >> reporter: this morning the families of the patients he's accused of killing, devastated. >> it's been hard. it's been really hard. >> reporter: amy says her 63-year-old mother went to the hospital where he worked for a liver biopsy in 2017 but died hours later. >> to find out it really wasn't her time that another human

being made it her time is tough to swallow it's real tough. >> reporter: 30 employees at the hospital including nurses and pharmacists have been placed on leave in connection with the case the mount carmel health system saying it will ensure events like these never happen again. in addition to these criminal charges he is facing at least 19 wrongful death lawsuits. >> in addition, he's also facing 19 wrongful death lawsuits also named in the civil suits are the mount carmel health system as well as some of those pharmacists and nurses it's still unclear how he was able to bypass apparent rules requiring him to order medications with an in-house ru requiring him to order medications with an pharmacy team and be able to convince a nours add nurse to administer these drugs >> perhaps why there's so many folks on leave right now 30 people. >> there are a lot of questions with this.

about what the alleged motive would be. >> and how he was able to coordinate it and as you said, why. >> keep us posted. shifting gears nba finals toronto raptors got a big win on the road to take a 2-1 series lead pace. kicks it o >> pushing the pace. kicks it out to danny green. dunks it in. back-to-back 3s and this equals the largest lead of the game >> the raptors took advantage of an undermanned golden state team warriors playing without all-stars kevin durant and klay thompson steph curry did his best, career playoff high 47 points but he's only one man right, craig >> that's right, that's right. >> final score 123-109, kawhi leonard led the raptors with 30 points game four tomorrow nice in oakland. got to be hoping people get healthy. >> klay thompson should be back friday not clear about kevin durant in the finals at all. even steph curry. >> i'm only one guy here >> exactly. a first check of the weather. al, what ya got? >> still a lot of wet weather to talk about, but also windy weather. look at this a haboob blowing in to lubbock,

hallowed ground. normandy, 75 years ago, thousands of young men literally saved the world. of course, today marking the 75th anniversary of the d-day invasion. >> you think about each of those crosses, stars, crescents. each contains one person's story. nbc senior correspondent tom brokaw dedicated so much of his life in work sharing those stories and is in normandy for us with one more tom, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. so many of the veterans here 75 years ago have come back to revisit the memories the good ones and the hard ones. i spoke with two of them one was a heroic medic on that day. the other, an american nurse and between the two of them, they made a great contribution to the success of that historic moment heroes are everywhere. you just need to know where to look the man living on a peaceful lake in north carolina

the native american woman from the plains of south dakota 98 and 99 years old respectively yet their hearts and memories remain in the sacred place. >> i put a tourniquet on that and took a shot of morphine and i went back in. >> reporter: ray lambert grew up poor in rural alabama, enlisting in the army becoming a combat medic. by june, 1944, ray had already fought his way through north africa and sicily with the army's first division. the big red one, and he was in the first wave to hit omaha beach. >> i told them to go underwater as far as they could, because when that ramp went down, it looked just like hail in that water machine gun bullets. >> reporter: in the carnage on the beach ray and the other medics desperately tried to help the soldiers falling all around them suddenly he spotted a possible

safe haven >> i saw this rock, and i told one of my men, i said, if we can get these casualties to that, maybe we can save more men >> reporter: already shot twice himself ray dragged one man after another out of the water their heavy packs and gear pulling them to the bottom, trying to free one caught underwater on barbed wire when an incoming boat ramp came crashing down on top of them. >> i was convinced that i was going to die right there, and i had this guy in my right arm i said to god, please, give me a chance to save just one more mea chance to save just one more man. man. and the ramp went up and this is what makes me tear up my mother had always told me that, believe in god

he'll take you. >> reporter: both men survived ray's back was broken. his day on bloody omaha was over >> we got our first patients 2:30 in the morning. >> reporter: marcella left a cheyenne sioux reservation to train as a nurse. >> i never had a clue what was in store for me. >> reporter: she likely took care of men saved by ray and the medics her war was just getting under way. from normandy to a front line field hospital in the battle of the bulge. that did not necessarily mean her country thanked her, at least not right away >> well, when we came home right after the war i went to rapid city, and there were signs in some of the bars as you walked down the street. no indians or dogs allowed >> reporter: today she is a respected elder of the lakota nation and worked tirelessly as a nurse to help her people the vital role that native

americans like marcella played in the war effort honored now on the sands of omaha, and ray's memoir, "every man a hero" has just been published. there are not many of these kinds of plaques dedicated to combat medics. sergeant arnold ray lambert set up the first casualty collection point on omaha beach >> yes >> reporter: that will live forever. no greater legacy, ray, for that. >> yep. >> you're a great american. >> well, thank you >> reporter: god saved you for a good reason. >> well, i hope i had done the right thing. >> i had hoped to spend time with marcella here in normandy unfortunately she was hospitalized and perished. after all these are people of advancing ages and we hope we'll be able to see them again under better circumstances. now back to you, savannah and

craig. >> tom, thank you so much. he tells those stories so, so well. >> nobody has told them better we're joined now by filmmaker ken burns. captures this in a critically acclaimed documentary. ken, good to have you on this special morning. i read you were moved to create this document at the time we were losing roughly 1,000 world war ii veterans every single day. >> and our kids thought we fought with the germans against the russians people graduating from high school were armed with the exact opposite information and those two things that we were losing the memory of the direct memory of the war, these extraordinary human beings, and that we weren't knowing enough, we weren't teaching about what took place in the second world war and particularly this most important of days. it just propelled us into a seven-year effort to try to see the second world war from a bottom up perspective. >> well, let's do that again

let's do that again. explain to people who don't understand why this was such a feat, a military feat but a feat of humanity. >> so, this is the greatest invasion in human history. it is not about conquest it's not about taking territory. it's about freedom it's about liberating people there are farm boys from iowa who don't have an interest in the geopolitical dynamics here but have an interest in the perpetuation of freedom. so you have 5,300 boats, 176,000 human beings going across the english channel. already had flights of aircraft dropping fabric, wooden gliders that the germans have put stakes in the fields where they're supposed to safely land. paratroopers to try to block off what would be the response of d-day and d-day itself five beaches, juno, sword, gold,

utah and the worst, omaha. >> and the staggering loss in one day. >> this is a story about leadership leadership from the top down eisenhower said, look, before -- he said if this fails it is all my fault. >> blame me. >> blame me. nobody does that anymore then the soldiers themselves from the bottom up would improvise as they needed to do move your boat in closer risking that so you can take out the gunning placements doing the kinds of things. finding that rock ray found to just bring a few more people to life this is a great human story. we have to be skeptical about the mythologies we make about ourselves. not today. not today. this is beyond -- beyond important. and all of the values that we have today were born this day. we think of the nato alliance. this is really its first victory. and that the world that's going to come out of the victory of today, 75 years ago, is going to be representing the values that we have carried forward, that

has kept the world from another world war, and at peace. and we feel those values are strained a little bit today. so today helps us remember not only with these heroes what they did, but what we're still obligated to do. i have a little girl here and grandchildren, the world that those people made for us, saved for us, it's our responsibility now to keep it. >> this is a project that leaves you, so much, as i understand it, ken, you keep something in your pocket. >> i carried, in many of the films i bring back a memento this day we lost only 2,500 americans. churchill went to bed told his wife i think we're going to lose 20,000 british soldiers. i mean, it's just -- this was -- better news, this day, for everybody all around, and it was a success and it was much harder to break out of normandy, but i have the bloodiest day in american history up to that point was antietam and still

was. i have a bullet a mini ball i've carried around almost 30 years since we did the series on the civil war. this was given to me after our film on world war ii, which is a bullet of a soldier, and who landed at d-day. a brass button from a uniform, and, you know, these are the talisman that you hang on to remember it's not all -- you know, we forget, and when we forget, then we -- we permit another narrative to come in that isn't true. >> strikes me when you hear these veterans stories first of all, the humility it's just a quality that is g vanishingly rare in our culture right now and so many of them. so unspeakable that they did not even tell these stories to their own families. >> you have to understand. we've -- we -- we smother war in

bloodless gallant myth we call the second world war the good war when, in fact, it's the worst war ever what they saw that morning defies description you cannot remain unchanged if your best friend's brains have just been splattered on your jacket i'm sorry, this is the morning people are eating breakfast but this is what happened. so you come back, and this generation was so reticent, suffered ptsd before it had a name combat fatigue, shell shock, whatever the name was called but most went back and sort of locked that stuff in the deepest recesses of their mind, and that's okay. why some of the veterans can't go back there. some have to go back there to honor the people that they lost. and to touch the soil again, and that they are now old men looking back and they can't even believe the things that they did that day, because, remember -- war is life at its top nothing is more vivifying than being in combat. when your violent death is possible at any moment

everything is heightened that's why it is so difficult for returning vets and why we are so obligated not to just say thank you for your service, which is a period, but say welcome home what can we do for you particularly to those veterans still. how can we help you? what can we do how can we repay you for saving civilization. >> ken burns, an honor to have you here and you really do honor them with your tributes and storytelling so thank you. >> thank you, thank you. >> send it over to al. >> guys, thank so much. and we still have 11 million people at risk for flooding from the gulf all the way into the plains today more heavy rain pushing through. we have a risk of flooding, rainfall rates two to three inches per hour from new orleans up almost to st. louis today we move into tomorrow. that stretches to the mid-atlantic coast also again down into the gulf and including new orleans and on saturday we even have a heavier risk as we make our way into the appalachians. that's what's going on around the cou

to believe because you are such a prolific writer? >> yeah, i've just been doing tv for so long, that i thought this would be a fun challenge >> you were an intern to conan o'brien. >> i was. >> did you build from there? >> she is nothing like -- a tough character and conan was the ideal boss, but, you know when you're researching these late-night talk show hosts you see how these big personalities on camera are very different sometimes than off-camera. >> you hear that a lot of rumors about that that's often true, though. >> and so i was -- i thought that was interesting, because the experience of watching those shows is so fun and so joyful, and you think that the experience of making them would be the same. so often in the case it's not. >> widely reported emma thompson was in mind when you were writing the script you had her in mind. she was here recently on the show and promoting it and said your debut script was literally

one of the best she's ever read. >> emma thompson said that dame emma thompson. >> i know. dame emma thompson i can't believe it she is herself and oscar writing screen actress and writer, coming from her amazing. >> her name is katherine and your little daughter's name is katherine. supposed to connect the dots actually she's not a very nice character. >> i'm uncreative. there's, like, five names that i like savannah, carson, katherine. >> mindy. >> mindy. >> and willie. >> willie! willie geist our old friend. >> that's right. >> i was here two hours early to see where he was couldn't find him. >> sleeping in today no he's across the street so tell me about, when you first started, like, were you kind of like the character in this movie? i mean, she wants to go in there and kind of tell them what's the what and how they should do your jobs right? >> well, my character? >> yeah, your character. >> the character is a little based -- i mean, i started at the "office" the only minority writer there first year i was

there. it was really terrifying because for a while when you're the only person there you think you represent all minorities and all women and i thought a lot of people face that in their workplace. even though this character has a lot of flaws i wanted to write something that was, a., really funny and, b., represented what a lot of people are going through and don't see themselves in this kind of story. >> does written comedy translate the same when you write for television versus late night, is there a difference >> a good question i had to do a lot of different kinds of writing there's writing dialogue and then monologue jokes and stand-up jokes it's very challenging. and making sure everything was really -- actually funny that was hard. i did a lot of research, with a lot of different people who worked for your show and had great things to say about you. >> good. i'm glad thank god. i was sweating 17 years of "last call" will do it for you

late-night shows, an institution the classic late-night show, johnny carson, jay leno and a new one happening. what world does this take place in that stars emma thompson. >> the traditional big three network, you know, that sort of thing. that was, i read every book about all of those late-night wars sure you know about that you're entrenched in that whole world, but it's fascinating to me late-night talk shows still something where even if i don't actively stay up and watch a talk show at night i see clips about them jimmy kimmel, jimmy fallon they're a huge part of our culture. >> and bill carter, "new york times" >> i read a lot of bill carter. >> he wrote that big book. >> wrote that book. >> written two books on two different -- i didn't talk to him about it but researched a lot of this writing. >> did you talk, you talked about being at "the office," a were young writer, looking different than anybody else. how did you get yourself a part on the show? did you write it and say i think i could play this part how did you make that leap in

front of the camera? >> my boss had seen me in a play i had written and also starred in and had in the back the wonderful thing in "the office" it looked like people you know didn't have to look like models and wanted the room to be diverse and good looking people. and when he hired me there was an acting clause in it second episode, diversity day, i've justify slapped steve carell's character, that should be an offended minority woman. he's great it will be you. >> right place, right time the rest is history. >> mindy, thank you so much. >> the movie's great congrats. >> "late night" hits theaters tomorrow and nationwide next friday june 14th now outside to craig >> all right thank you, savannah. coming up next, jill martin is here ready to make your summer vacation the best ever. some very special steals and deals. first, this is "today" on nbc. summer vacation the best ever.
