he doesn't have to worry about future general rations in theor unless he's a very good person who cares about people. rosie the riveter. we meet the women who helped build the american war machine after pearl harbor as they come here for the first time. >> it was a monumental change for women because they not only had to do their traditional keeping the house and raising the kid and that but they had to keep the finances steady and plus do a full-time job in defense. good day, every one. i'm andrea mitchell at the normandy american cemetery in france. it's june 5th. the day dwight eisenhower

planned for d-day. the president is in ireland. he just arrived. he will be meeting with ireland's prime minister. tomorrow he will arrive here to northern the 156,000 troops who stormed the beaches especially the 10,000 who died in the greatest military operation of modern times. right now the president is in ireland. we expect to see him briefly this hour before he heads into a private meeting with ireland's prime minister. let's listen. >> i think it should be good. the big thing will be the border and hopefully that will work out. i think it will work out. there's a lot of good minds thinking about how to do it. it's going to be sdwrus fine. i think it could be very, very good for ireland. the border will work out. >> he said it's reckless. >> i haven't heard those comments. we have the cleanest air in the world in the united states and it's gotten better sints i'm president. we have the cleanest water.

it's crystal clean. >> are you concerned that ireland is not concerned about this from far away. some people worry about it in this country as well. >> i know that. we deal very closely with your intelligence and your security and we're working on that together. we're all concerned about it. we'll have it. >> that's something the irish government is concerned about as well. it is something that we're all concerned about. >> we're working on that together not only with europe but with ireland. >> what's your plan? >> i'm miking a trip tomorrow to

normandy. we had an incredible time today. this is something that the likes of which you people have seen anything like it. we were with the queen and the royal family and the prime minister. it was something very special. many of you were there. i think almost all of you were there. it's been well covered and it's truly beautiful. tomorrow we go to where it all took place. we go to normandy. i'm staying here overnight. i thought this would be the best place. i'd love to come to ireland. tomorrow we'll be leaving and going to normandy. >> is this trip just about promoting your -- >> this trip is about great relationships that we have with the uk and i really wanted to do this stop in ireland. it was very important to me because of the relationship i

have with the people and with your prime minister. we almost made it last time. it was one vote. we're looking at that. i'm sure that's something we're going to discuss. i spoke to the one vote who is a great senator. he's oo great senator. we think he's going to be successful. he doesn't mean to do any harm. he was telling me he loves ireland. we had a unanimous vote. if we get a you nunanimous vote get something for a long time. i want to do it for the people of the united states that want this vote to happen that happen to be of irish descent. >> what is assurance do you offer the government in order to

protect peace in northern ireland? >> i think what's going to happen -- first they we'll have to see who will be prime minister. i think it's a very important decision. we'll see what happens over in the uk. that's decision number one. who will be prime minister. once that happens that person will get in and try and make a deal and maybe if they don't make a deal, they do it a different way. i don't think the border will be a problem at all. >> sir, did you see reports of executions in north korea. does that worry you at all that kim would execute the people? >> i don't know if the reports are correct. one of the gentlemen who we deal with, this is north korea they're talking about. somebody that we know well. he's a strong man. he's a strong person. they like to blame kim jong-un

immediately. they said he was killed and he wasn't. he was at the theater the other night. the other four people i know nothing about. it's an interesting situation. wooe we'll see how it goes. there's been no nuclear testing. now there's nothing. i think the chairman kim would like to make a deal one of the people executed wasn't executed at all. [ inaudible question ] >> the corporate tax. you mean the fact it's so low. it is a very low tax. i have to agree.

we have our tax very, very low. we have a lot of great companies here. thank you very much, everybody. thank you. >> as you can see the president answering questions there with the irish prime minister. joining me here in france, nbc chief global correspondent bill, neilly and kristen welker will be with us throughout the hour. there's a number of questions there. he sort of dodged the questions about brexit and who will be prime minister after having dived into all of this over the last few days. he was asked for the first time about north korea.

this was the mystery of the disappearance of the chief negotiator for north korea and he was reported in south korea to have been sent to hard labor. his deputy had been executed and now he reappeared. this is the first time the president has been asked about it and kim jong-un. kristen. >> reporter: i thought was the significant headline as well. my take away, he said i don't know if the reports are correct. he echoed what you're saying which is this person, and i'll go back to you because the president is still speaking. >> the drugs that are coming in. the people that are coming in unchecked. they are swamping the border. they are coming up by the millions. mexico can stop it. they have the stop it. otherwise we won't be able to do business. it's a very simple thing. i think they will stop it. i think they want to do something. i think they want to make a deal and they sent their top people to try to do it. we'll see what happens today. we should know something. >> thanks very much.

>> we think that is the end of his comments for now. kristen, let's circle back to north korea but also talk about mexico. what he just said is that the mexican foreign minister is in washington and coming to the white house. trying to find a way out of this tariff crackdown. they're warning him they will try to work around it and try to veto what he does. they don't have the mechanism yet. a lot on the table here. the tariffs would hurt american consumers despite what his top trade. it won't hurt americans but it does hurt americans. there's a lot of confusion. it does seem that both sides are trying to find a way out of this latest crisis. >> reporter: it does. these are high stakes talks.

they will get under way at the white house in just a few hours. it will be the mexican foreign minister. he will be meeting with the vice president as well as the secretary of state. the acting dhs secretary and a number of other top officials. the white house down playing expect tagations for a deal tod. president trump striking a measured tone saying it's a simple thing. we'll see about what happens today trying to indicate that both sides want to get a deal done. as you have underscored this is incredibly controversial. u.s. consumers would pay more for a whole range of different items. everything from cars to electronics and groceries. will they come to a deal today. it's hard to see that happening. what might happen, those tariffs

could go into effect on monday at 5%. based on my conversations the real know kus focus is making s don't get boosted up to 10%. that's when you really start to see that trickle down effect. president trump weighing in saying it's a simple thirng to solve underscoring his broader goal of protecting the border. >> it was always controversial to be combining tariffs and a threat of tariffs on mexico with immigration policy because there is no nexus there and it seemed like a negotiating tool. bill let me you about north korea. place you have been. these negotiations going nowhere. kim jong-un completely humiliated by the u.s. walk out from the last summit and having to blame someone. he was looking for a scapegoat. we had not for 50 days seen

either of these top negotiators. that led to a lot of incorrect south korean press rumors. not corroborated at all by u.s. intelligence which just tells you how hard an intelligence target north korea still is. >> extraordinary that once again we see president trump almost rushing to kim jong-un's side, defending the north koreans by casting doubt on this story about whether their top officials were executed or not. he doesn't have to do that. frankly, we don't know where these guys are. he says one of them was seen in a restaurant. casting doubt on the whole execution story which was initially the report of someone south korean newspaper. fact is, we don't know. fact is, president trump decides to defend north korea without evidence, without proof. >> which comes on the heels of him saying, we know he want a

deal. we deenon't know he wants a dea. he does not want a deal to denuclearize on u.s. terms. chris, as you and bill and i sit here in a hallowed place just yards from these crosses, these incredible white crosses that are decorated especially with the flags for this memorial. 75 years. chris you've done a lot of thinking and you live in paris and you can speak as an american from both sides of the atlantic about this experience here. >> in fact, this is one of the places i think that you can go in the world where it's very hard to resist enormous emotions. you see all those graves, all those young men who died storming these beaches and in the battles that followed. you think, i think, any way about what they were fighting for. what they were fighting for were american values. they were fighting to stop

tyranny, spread democracy, defeat hitler. to create a better world at the end of the day. they were also fighting to stay alive under the german guns. that's the primary concern at that moment. what you wonder now those values remain a major part of american policy. >> we are as far apart from our british allies and french allies. the dispute over intelligence sharing. the threats about the russian investigation began and who he would challenge. they smoothed over a lot of things in public but real divisions with the president who is the first president in 70 years to challenge the post world-war ii order. >> i think if i have one take away from the state visit to the uk which is not overt, it was the desperate or european

attempt to bind president trump to almost lasso him into those ties that bind. there was a d-day proclamation in which they all agreed on the common values, democracy, the rule of law. the europeans trying to drag president trump back into nato. interesting here tomorrow, it's a sacred place but a place of common purpose and moral certainty. these are times of moral uncertainties and a time when common purpose is hard to find. one of the themes again here tomorrow will be to bind

president trump into that common purpose once again. >> i think it's very difficult with trump because he's an ego maniac. he sees all this as being about him not about those big issues. that's also why korea -- why does he defend kim jong-un because he wants his win in those negotiations. everything has to be his victory. these people didn't die for franklin roosevelt or winston churchill. to save civilization. >> lot to talk about here and back there. >> reporter: there is. you'll have oo lot more coverage from normandy. back here in washington as the president does prepare to two to normandy tomorrow, president trump is defending why he didn't serve in vietnam in an interview on british television the take a look. >> you not able to serve in vietnam because of bone spur condition in your feet.

do you wish you had been able to serve? would you have liked to serve? >> i was never a fan of that war. i thought it was a terrible war. it was very far away. at that time nobody ever heard of the country. >> would you like to have served generally? >> i would not have minded that at all. i'd have been northehonored. i think i'm making up for it now. >> joining me is democratic congressman. thank you for joining me. appreciate it. >> thank you so much for having me. >> i want to start right there with what president trump, you heard him say. he said he's making up for it because of these huge investments that he's making in the military. what do you make of that? >> the president was a draft dodger. there's nothing he can do now to

excuse for that or to make up for it. i think that there's a larger issue and question at play here because what the president seemed to infer was that he did not want to serve because he did not agree with american foreign policy. i'm not alone in this regard, do not believe in a la carte service. i enlisted in the military. there's plenty of veterans here in congress as well. i enlisted but did not think the war in iraq was a good idea. i think it's the greatest foreign policy mistake in modern american political history but that doesn't take away from the service. part of our strength as a country is the fact that we have men and women who are in our armed forces who only care about the country, only care about defending and protecting our national security and are willing to deploy irrespective of whether they agree with the foreign policy decisions. >> congressman, just very

quickly, the reason the president gives is bone spurs. it sounds like you're skeptical of that. >> i have no idea what a bone spur is or i'm not a doctor. i have no desire either to re-litigate some excuse he made or some doctor who his father paid off made to excuse the fact he didn't have the courage to deploy to war. what matters as well is that the president understand and pay -- >> congressman, let me jump in because we're running out of time. i want to get you on your legislation. the hr1 anti-corruption legislation. the goal of it is to reform voting rights. to crackdown on corruption, campaign finance laws. it passed in the house. you have leader mcconnell saying he's not going to bring it up for a vote. i have to ask you was part of the purpose of this legislation to just let democrats get on the

record with this ahead of 2020? what is the ultimate goal? >> absolutely not. that's the problem with this town is we're either doing things that are symbolic or suffer from legislative add. we passed hr1 because that's what the american people have been consistently demanding. they voted in 2016 to drain the swamp. 2018 they voted for anti-corruption measures. mitch mcconnell's voters want this as well. he's got to stop grand standing and being an obstructist and put this bill on the floor for a vote. that's his job. he cannot show the american people he's in the pocket of special interest and his voters. we're not asking a lot here. >> thank you for joining us on a very busy day here and overseas. we really appreciate your perspective. >> thank you so much again. coming up, oh joe he didn't. joe biden's campaign accused of

lifting some of the language in his climate change plan. long time biden supporter of delaware joins us next on andrea mitchell reports only on msnbc. stay with us. mitchell reports only on msnbc stay with us

i didn't bring his name up. you did. >> i'm asking because you know the battle thing last week. >> i knew nothing about that. i'm not sure it happened. i have no idea if it happened or not. i hear it's fake news but maybe it is, maybe it isn't. again, i don't talk about john mccain unless somebody asks me about him. >> president trump once again defending the white house orders to hide the uss john mccain from view when the president was in tokyo and the ship was being repaired in the navy berth nearby. navy higher ups intervened and it didn't happen. senator, what about this flap over the uss mccain. what did happen is white house officials ordered it to happen. how inappropriate or appropriate was that? >> i had the honor of visiting the uss mccain with senator

mccain. it was in vietnam. that ship was named for senator mccain's father and grandfather. today as we prepare for the 75th anniversary, it's important that we honor and remember those great americans who served in the second world war. i think this particular episode suggests that there are ways in which both our president and our white house don't grasp the significance of hon moring those who serve in the second world war. whether their name is add mirl john mccacan -- admiral john mccain or others who sacrificed and died. >> the president is hinting there's some flexibility on this threatened imposition of tariffs on mexico on monday. what are you hearing from your republican colleagues about whether they can come up with a mechanism to try to stop this from happening. would they need 60 votes?

>> i was just on the floor of the senate. we're in the middle of a vote series and heard from a dozen of my republican colleagues and friend who is are gravely concerned that president trump having found the tool of tariffs is now all too fond of swinging the club of tariffs at any topic. the idea we would use it as a tool to try and solve the merging border crisis concerns many of them. one said doesn't he realize this is a 5% tax on the american people. it could push our growing economy back into recession. i think the president will hear very strong voices from both parties in opposition to his willy nilly operation of tariffs to our close trading allies. first he used it for steel and aluminum and now trying to achieve a shorter term political goal. we need to be careful about the ways in which we use tariffs if

we're also going to have standing in the world to push back on china's inappropriate trade behaviors across so many areas. >> i want to you about your colleague and friend joe biden and his campaign. he's been leading in the polls since the campaign began since he announced. he is now getting some criticism for perhaps not having learned the lessons of his fail 1988 campaign being too loose with words and what my colleague chuck todd described in first read as political malpractice for any candidate. for not attributing some of the quotations in his climate proposal from add vvocacy group. >> what i think is regrettable is we're not talking about his boel bold proposal for how to tackle

climate change. we're quibbling over citations. the campaign promptly addressed it and i don't think this shows that former vice president biden has something to learn from a campaign of decades ago. i think it shows that he's putting forward a concrete proposal to tackle the most urgent issue facing all of us r, climate change and he's running a positive and forward looking campaign. my hope is the coverage of his strong announcement on climate change will move towards the future orientation of it. >> just to say the president is tweeting again and so is the republican national committee on this issue. does he have to be more careful to avoid those kinds of attacks? >> we have a president before he got to the united kingdom was using twitter to pick fights. while there meddled in the fragile politics of britain in this brexit error. if the president is tweeting that joe biden needs to be more

careful i'm fairly struck by the irony of that. >> okay. take your point. thank you very much. thanks for being with us today. >> thank you. coming up, burn notice. bernie sanders goes head to head with the walmart shareholders arguing that workers should have a seat on the board. much more to come. stay with us on andrea mitchell reports. mitchell reports. to a single defining moment...

it's pushed to raise wages for workers at some of the country's largest corporations today. bernie sanders is taking his fight directly to one of his main targets. appearing at walmart's annual shareholders meeting to try to get workers a seat at the table. it will put hourly employees on the board of directors and raise minimum wage to $15 an hour. you just caught up with senator sanders. what's he telling you about this plan? >> reporter: i did. this whole trip is about giving attention to walmart employees and giving them a voice using his presidential campaign. sanders had three minutes to speak directly to walmart shareholders in the building behind me. he named the walton family and said a family that wealthy should not be paying workers starvation wages.

i caught up with him after he made that statement. listen to what he told me. >> you got tens and tens of thousands of workers at walmart struggling to make ends meet. some of them are on like medicaid, food stamps, public housing. the taxpayers of america should not have to sub si died tsidize wealthiest family in america. the flows are asking walmart to pay the workers there a living wage. you don't get rich on 15 bucks an hour. at the very least you can live with some security. >> i've been on picket lines. >> and thank you for that. obviously, an issue that energizes the base. great job getting senator sanders. now we want to head back out to andrea in normandy.

war and these things had to be done. who's going to do it? it's going to be the women. >> every week these women between the ages of 92 and 99 share their stories with visitors to the rosie the riveter national park. mare john was just 17 when she became a draftsman. >> we worked on the original blueprints. erased architects drawings and put in our own under direction by the fore master draftsman. that's kind of powerful stuff. they built the ships with our dr directions now. >> marion's older sister became a welder after hearing about the bombing of pearl harbor on the radio. >> i probably knew as much about welding as some of those guys they hired. one morning as my lead man would point out, joe do this. every time he would point, i would say i can do that.

he said, well, it was a vertical weld. he said, okay. give it a try. from that time, i was part of the crew. >> the shipyards ran around the clock day care for rosie's liking a nus wlike ing a ag nurnus who was a singl mother of a 1-year-old. >> because i worked graveyards, i left my little girl on two ships. she would have her pjs on and would have been asleep and wrapped up in a blanket. the women would take her in and put her to bed on a cot. it was a huge room full of kids. >> another welder marion went to work in 1944. the same year her brother private first class donald parsons was killed along with 10,000 other allied troops in the invasion of normandy. >> we were just going in to the back door of the house and we saw this brand new car driving

in with two service people in it. we knew something happened. they came in and told us that he had gotten killed. >> now 75 years after receiving that devastating news, marion joined by her rosie sisters we united with her brother becoming the first member of her family to visit his grave at the american cemetery in france. >> i'm finally here. >> yeah. he's happy to see you. >> very happy. >> waited a long time. >> joining me now, some of the rosies whom you met in our report. marion win and may crier, a former riveter. welcome all. i was so touched by you visiting your brother's cross. >> thank you. >> finally, having some consolation from being here. >> it was the final. it made peace.

done. >> it is amazing. the pride you must all feel. >> we do. >> to know that you're part of history and the country came together. every one, the home front. the men overseas. >> everything was -- to get the war over so we could get our boys home and the women get back to living again. get our husband's home. >> what happened when the war was over? what happened to you and your work? >> well, actually, first of all, we knew that we were there for a duration. we did not expect to keep those jobs. i was actually married to a coast guardsman. by the end of my year i was expected my first baby. that's why i left when i say i left the shipyard because i couldn't get my leg up on that first step on the key system

bus. >> may, what happened to you when the war was over? how did you readjust? >> i met this cute sailor on the dance floor in 1944. before the war was over, we were married. he had a job to come home to in trenton, new jersey. we were married almost 70 years before i lost him. a good life. a good life. >> the sense of success and satisfaction that you all achieve now. here, this week, is the first time you're all come together here and you're hoping to get some more recognition. >> that's right. >> you're hoping that congress might do something. >> yes. my sister phyllis has worked tirelessly and may, towards getting the recognition for the women. the millions of women who had home front jobs to produce the

goods that brought the military needed. >> it's such an honor, such a privilege for me. i've heard so much about you and the rosies and everything you did. for all my life i've been coming to normandy every decade until now. it's just very special to have you here. i know you are as well. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> thanks for letting us share your stories. >> our thanks to the american battle monuments commission for introducing us to these amazing ladies. 75 years after d-day, one 97-year-old veteran has made a special trip back here to normandy. tom rice, a member of the 101th parachute infantry regiment who

his biggest speeches on the world stage, let's take a look at how some former presidents honored the men and women of the greatest generation. >> these are the boys. these are the men who took the cliffs. these are the champions who helped free a continent and these are the heroes who helped end a war. >> we think of men not far from boys who found the encourage to charge toward death. we think of men in the promise years of life, loved and mourned and missed to this day. >> we come to remember why america and our allies gave so much for the survival of liberty at this moment of maximum peril, we come to tell the story of the men and women who did it so that it remains sered into the memory of a future world.

>> joining me now is nbc news presidential historian, michayo been here and you know how momentous it is to be here and also emotional. how -- what is the challenge for this president given the fact that he is the first american president who really is challenging the post world war ii era and the institutions that were created by the greatest generation? >> you're absolutely right, andrea, ronald reagan, the first president to make a page pilgrimage to this place and celebrate d day. and every president has tried to measure up to ronald reagan's standard in heralding the fact that democracy is spreading

throughout the world and that the western alliance is a very good thing. this is a very different day. you have a president who's coming in in a different hometown when democracy may not be spreading. and a president who's very skeptical about the western alliance and some people think maybe even devoted to breaking it. from his viewpoint, what does he do? does he say i have big doubts of a nato, that no previous president has had, or is he going to use some of the rhetoric that echoes what we've heard from earlier presidents. it's going to be fascinating to find out. >> he loves a parade. he loves the military and the pomp and circumstance of what he experienced in london. this is different, though. this is a quieter, more reflective moment. >> that's exactly right. and you have to sort of strike the right tone. that's what ronald reagan did so well that day in 1984 and why

other presidents try to emulate him. it's going to be interesting to see what donald trump says. the other thing is that unlike all of those earlier presidents and most presidents in history, this is a president who's proud of the fact that he doesn't read books and doesn't know a lot about history. and this is the last occasion of this kind where we're going to have any serious representation by people who actually fought on d day and that means it's all the more important for all of us to bear witness ourselves even though we were not there in 1944 to how important this was. d day was perhaps the greatest day of the 20th century and that's something we always have to remember and talk about. >> and, to be frank, we've always commemorated this event every ten years since 1984. this is the first time it's being done in such a large fashion on the 5th anniversary,

the 75th because of the age of the veterans and those returning here and they are the last to bear direct witness to what happened here. i was really struck, i don't know if you heard and saw, the women who were here. >> i absolutely loved that segment. >> they're just extraordinary. so mod eest about what they achieved. they had never built b-39s and built planes and -- >> they haven't been out giving press conferences, yeah. >> the other thing that occurs is that this president is really disconnected from europe in a lot of subtle ways as well as the profound ways, the paris climate accord and other things. he alluded to that today. he was marveling that prince charles cares about climate. and he said he doesn't have to do that. he's got his job, his position. this is a passion of prince

charles, has been for his entire life. and yet the president said that he told prince charles, we don't have a polluted country, conflating pollution and global warming and it seems not in tune with the things that really are moving europe. >> well, you live long enough, you get to see everything. but it reminds me of that first president who could have celebrated the 10th anniversary of d day, dwight eisenhower. not only he was president, but he was the supreme commander that was, you know, responsible for leading all those soldiers into battle 75 years ago. and it's so fascinating, he could have come to this place and he could have celebrated it, it could about him. instead he spent that day stays at camp david and praying because he was trying to send a message, it was about the boys and girls we know, not about

him. >> a great lesson from dwight eisenhower. thank you so much. and that does it for this edition of "andrea mitchell reports." my thanks to christen welker for all of her help this morning. tune in tomorrow for my interview with nancy pelosi. and remember to follow our show online and on facebook and twitter. >> i absolutely loved that interview you did with those women. makes us all want to honor them. thank you so much. hello, everyone. i'm stephanie ruhle. my partner, ali velshi, on assignment. it is wednesday, june 5th. let's get started. right now president trump is in ireland where he just met with the irish prime minister after commemorating the 75th anniversary of d day long england's southern coast. and during his trip, he sat down with good morning britain and host and
