omaha beach is about 4.5 miles long. it is crescent shaped, which is good for the defender, so you .an have interlocking fire you have to have those beach exits. you have to. planners further subdivided the three portions of the big red one beach into fox red, fox green, and the most famous of them all, easy read. what is within those wn's? it is primarily concrete whole structures with machine guns and mortars, often called murder holes by allied soldiers. pillar boxes. you have plenty of rifleman. you have got mortars. you have grenades. i would argue the most formidable defenses the germans have in the big red one sector is the inland artillery. in some ways your deadliest adversary as you go ashore that day is the forward observer for the german artillery. he is the eyes that is calling in the deadliest and worst firepower. 105 millimeter artillery pieces inland from the beaches, all of which survive and almost completely useless compartmentnd sea with the lines of communication contact. you have forward observers in

one who is terrified of going into an interview wrote on a piece of paper, this is not omaha beach. i have to say i was proud of my students for helping us solve one of the local mysteries on the normandy coast, that was the finding of a one private frankie mackey, who saved several airborne troops. he was a medic, and a number of villagers in a small town. up until that time, for more than 70 years, the village did not know the name of this medic. my students and i have had many adventures on the normandy coast and i was hesitant to go back in that capacity. i thought, how long am i going to tell somebody else's story? because i have had a career in foreign policy, and i thought, i don't know. to see the impact it has had on the students is one thing. then i realized the d-day story is part of my story too, and part of this community's story. you had the supreme allied commander living in gettysburg after the presidency. general nevins, who many of you barremember, was ike's manager. i found out only three years ago when i went to the war college that general nevins had been the th

the one off omaha beach was dismantled and the parts were used to repair the one off gold beach, which had been damaged but not fatally. supplies needed to sustain the invasion had to be carried across the channel by the lst's after all. the records demonstrated, the men and equipment brought to shore by the lst's in the week after the mulberry was destroyed was as great or greater than one the mulberry was in operation. the notion that it was the artificial harbors that allowed the allies to invade fortress europe, is not true. the hero of the story, the naval hero of the logistical story, is not the mulberries but the slow, ungainly, ugly, but absolutely essential lst's. ike knew it from the start. early on after taking command, he wrote a letter to the joint chiefs and told him how many he needed to carry out the invasion , in addition to the 230 earmarked. he said he needed 270 more landing craft, including 47 of the scarce but essential lst's. the joint chiefs were skeptical. really? specifically, they asked him -- and these are there words -- please explain the basis you used in

i mean you bring on omaha beach and what some of our elders have gone through and veterans and you're complaining about a little tweet. i just -- back up and relax, if you ask me. >> well i ran a public company. i respectfully disagree. i don't think that they should have put it on twitter. i don't think that it was poor shaming or things like that. but it was stupid out of their communication staff to put that on. it was too cute and no one laughed. david: but you were laughing. >> how could you not laugh when john goes on. it's going to be a new meme tomorrow. >> listen, it used to be that no good deed went unpunished, now no good tweet goes unpunished. i didn't take a bailout. i came from a blue collar family and paid for my own education. and at the end of the day personal and financial responsibility is a good thing. you should delay gratification and make your coffee at home. delayed gratification is a predictor of financial success. it's bad that we can't talk about personal responsibility in any realm without shaming somebody. >> that says a bad thing for our social fabric. >>

general eisenhower is expecting me on omaha beach ." ( laughter ) what does he mean, "i'm the youngesterson." of all his 10,000 lies, that might be the biggest. (as trump) "i'm the youngest person in the world. every single second, a baby is born, but i'm younger than any of them. don't believe me? i'm younger than a baby. i have no object permanence, i have a limited vocabulary, and i am wearing a diaper, and everything i see, i put in my mouth ." ( cheers and applause ) in fact, trump is so afraid of facing biden that he's giving advice to bernie sanders. on saturday, trump tweeted, "the democratic national committee sometimes referred to as the d.n.c., is again working its magic in its quest to destroy crazy bernie sanders, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot for the most traditional, but not very bright, sleepy joe biden. here we go again bernie, but this time please show a little more anger and indignation when you get screwed!" ( audience reacts ) is it possible for bernie to sound any angrier? ( laughter ) everything he says sounds like you just cut him off in the costco park
