Inside the Courtroom: Congressman Mike Waltz On the Former President's Trial

"If you make the ultimate sacrifice, we will provide you a home," a promise that Charles Djou, the Secretary of the American Battle Monuments Commission, honors heavily.   As the person given the honor of running the Normandy American Center, Djou joins Martha to discuss why this position is so meaningful to him after he served for 24 years in the Army Reserve, how much effort goes into making military cemeteries as breathtaking as they are today, and why the United States continues to be committed to finding soldiers who are missing in action, regardless of how much time has passed.   Follow Martha on X: @MarthaMacCallum Learn more about your ad choices.

In her Fox Nation special, The Final Journey of the Greatest Generation,' Martha took a deep dive into the tales of many WWII heroes like Lockered "Bud" Gahs, who was a part of the esteemed 42nd Infantry Division that played a large role in liberating the Dachau Concentration Camp. When Martha traveled back to Normandy, France last week to honor the 80th anniversary of D-Day, she had the opportunity to reconnect with Bud & hear more of his story.   Live from Normandy, Bud recounts the shock of discovering concentration camps, how it feels to be surrounded by fellow veterans in such a meaningful place, and why he believes the suffering endured and sacrifices made during WWII should be a more important teaching point for younger generations.   Follow Martha on X: @MarthaMacCallum Learn more about your ad choices.

At 16 years old, Ronald “Rondo” Scharfe lied about his age to join the military. Though he told his parents he likely wouldn't be sent overseas until he was of age, Rondo found himself shipped off just three months after enlisting -- where he would go on to fight in the Battle of Iwo Jima before most teenagers graduated high school.   Martha originally met Rondo on a trip to Iwo Jima while writing her book Unknown Valor, and now the two meet back up in Normandy, France as they commemorate D-Day. Rondo discusses what it feels like to be surrounded by fellow WWII veterans on the 80th anniversary, how what he went through in combat and the loss of his comrades has forever impacted his outlook on life, and what his hopes are for America moving forward.   Follow Martha on X: @MarthaMacCallum Learn more about your ad choices.

On this day 80 years ago, more than 160,000 Allied troops were preparing to head into a long-anticipated invasion of Normandy, France -- not knowing that June 6th, 1944 would become one of the most memorable days in history.   Today, Martha sits down with 104-year-old WWII veteran Steven Melnikoff on Omaha Beach, where he landed 80 years ago as a 24-year-old soldier with the 29th Infantry Division. Melnikoff recounts what he remembers most clearly from that day and those that followed -- from being wounded in battle to witnessing countless acts of bravery.

D-Day has been honored in a variety of ways throughout the years, from being depicted in iconic films and chronicled in an influx of documentaries and novels. Ahead of the 80th anniversary, historian and journalist Garrett Graff has chosen to honor D-Day in a uniquely intimate way this year in his new book, 'When the Sea Came Alive: An Oral History of D-Day'.   Garrett joins Martha to explain why he chose to write an oral history on D-Day instead of a straightforward book, how the powerful stories he heard during the interview process impacted him, and why it's crucial to remember the heroism and value so many demonstrated on June 6th, 1944.   Follow Martha on X: @MarthaMacCallum Learn more about your ad choices.

Though the horrors of D-Day live on today through diaries, documentaries, and other records -- few veterans are still alive and able to remember the tragedy that occurred on June 6th, 1944. But there are some, like 98-year-old Jack Gutman, who is still able to recount why honoring the sacrifice and bravery shown on that day 80 years ago is so crucial.   Today, Jack recounts his experience serving as a medic on Omaha Beach at just 18 years old on D-Day -- tending to countless wounded and dead soldiers on the beach. He discusses how this day still stays with him heavily and led him to write, "One Veteran's Journey to Heal the Wounds of War," and what his thoughts are on the current state of America.   Follow Martha on X: @MarthaMacCallum Learn more about your ad choices.

Addiction has become such a staggering problem in America that many people have become desensitized to it. However, turning our heads the other way is the last thing we should be doing if we want to help those falling victim to this disease -- which is why former Rhode Island Congressman Patrick Kennedy is refusing to be quiet about it.    In his new book, 'Profiles in Mental Health Courage,' Congressman Kennedy shares how his personal struggle with addiction profoundly impacted his life, and how he would not have been able to be in long-term recovery if he wasn't given the proper support and resources that so many addicts are not given.   Follow Martha on X: @MarthaMacCallum Learn more about your ad choices.

As former President Donald Trump's trial hits a pivotal point, with both the prosecution and defense resting their cases -- only closing arguments remain before the jury decides what the verdict will be in the former President's New York hush money trial. To discuss what they both saw live from the courtroom earlier this week, Martha sits down with Congressman Mike Waltz (R-FL) to debrief on what they observed during the trial and their thoughts on the jury's reactions.   They also discuss the helicopter crash that killed the Iranian president, and why Rep. Waltz, accompanied by fellow veterans in Congress, is honoring the 80th anniversary of D-Day by jumping out of original C-47 transport planes.   Follow Martha on X: @MarthaMacCallum Learn more about your ad choices.

A great deal of research has found that "Gen Z," specifically those born after 1995, is the generation being hit the heaviest by the mental illness epidemic -- as rates of anxiety, depression, and suicide skyrocket among young people. What is the biggest change this generation has experienced in life? The birth of smartphones and social media.    Author of 'The Anxious Generation,' Jonathan Haidt shares the evidence he's seen that reveals how technology plays a role in Gen Z's poor mental health, why parents didn't recognize the damage smartphones could do until it was too late, and the ways society can adapt our behavior (especially in our households) to revolve less around technology.   Follow Martha on X: @MarthaMacCallum Learn more about your ad choices.
