INCORRECT AT LEAST FROM WHAT THE
PRESIDENT IS SAYING.
>>> A BIG EVENT IN D.C.
TOMORROW.
PRESIDENT TRUMP'S SALUTE TO
AMERICA BEING HELD AT THE D.C.
MALL AND OUR NEXT GUEST WILL BE
THERE.
JOINING ME, ACADEMY AWARD
WINNING ACTOR JON VOIGHT AND
KAREN VAUGHN, A GOLD STAR MOTHER
AND AUTHOR OF "WORLD CHANGER, A
MOTHER'S STORY."
MY GREETINGS TO BOTH OF YOU.
IT'S AN HONOR TO SPEAK TO BOTH
OF YOU.
JON, FIRST TO YOU.
TELL US WHAT YOU'RE DOING TO
HELP THE GOLD STAR FAMILIES
SPECIFICALLY.
>> WELL, I RECEIVED A LOVELY
INVITATION THROUGH A FRIEND OF
MINE WHO'S AN ACTRESS AND
CONSERVATIVE TALK SHOW GAL ON
RADIO, AND IT WAS FROM KAREN
VAUGHN AND MOMS FOR AMERICA, AND
IT PORTRAYED THIS EVENT, YOU
KNOW, 40 GOLD STAR MOMS ARE
COMING TO D.C. AND MAKING A
STATEMENT AGAINST THIS SLIDE
TOWARD SOCIALISM WHICH IS
AGAINST THE CONSTITUTION AND
EVERYTHING THEIR CHILDREN AND
HUSBANDS FOUGHT FOR.
SO I LOOKED AT THAT AND I ALWAYS
LOOK AT THIS HOLIDAY AS A VERY
SPECIAL ONE AND THIS WAS A
PERFECT WAY TO CELEBRATE IT,
COME AND BE BY THE SIDE OF THESE
GREAT PEOPLE.
DAVID: KAREN, YOU ARE THE HEART
OF THIS COUNTRY.
YOU REALLY ARE THE HEART OF THIS
COUNTRY, THE MOTHERS AND THE
WIVES AND THE FAMILY MEMBERS WHO
HAVE SUFFERED FROM THEIR LOVED
ONES GOING TO WAR WHO ENDURED
THE WORST POSSIBLE SACRIFICE,
LOSING THAT LOVED ONE, BUT EVEN
THOSE WHO HAVE COME BACK IN GOOD
PHYSICAL SHAPE SOMETIMES CARRY
SCARS INSIDE THAT YOU DON'T SEE
FOR YEARS.
SO THANK YOU AND BLESS YOU FOR
WHAT YOU'VE DONE.
BUT TELL US WHAT YOU CAN
CONTINUE TO DO PARTICULARLY IN
THE LIGHT OF WHAT JON WAS
TALKING ABOUT, THE MOVE TOWARDS
SOCIALISM, BUT EVEN -- I THINK
EVEN WORSE THAN THAT, THE MOVE
TO DENIGRATE PATRIOTISM ITSELF
WHICH WE SEE ON DISPLAY THIS
WEEK.
>> WELL, THAT'S VERY TROUBLING
AND YOU KNOW, I SPEND QUITE A
BIT OF TIME TRYING TO TALK TO
STUDENTS IN HIGH SCHOOL ABOUT
WHAT THEY'RE BEING TOLD ABOUT
AMERICA VERSUS WHAT THE TRUTH IS
ABOUT AMERICA, AND AMERICAN
EXCEPTIONALISM AND THE GREATNESS
OF OUR NATION, AND YES, MY SON
AARON GAVE HIS LIFE FOR THE
AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE.
EVERY SINGLE PERSON WHO SIGNS UP
TO FIGHT IN OUR ARMED FORCES
DOES THAT FOR A PURPOSE.
THEY DO IT TO PROTECT AND DEFEND
THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED
STATES AND OUR WAY OF LIFE, AND
SO YOU KNOW, AS JON SAID AS WE
SEE THIS SLIDE TOWARD SOCIALISM,
I MADE A FACEBOOK POST THAT SAID
IF YOU ARE A GOLD STAR FAMILY
MEMBER AND WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A
VOICE, JOIN ME IN WASHINGTON,
D.C. FOR THE FOURTH OF JULY.
IT JUST TURNED INTO SOMETHING
MONUMENTAL OF COURSE WHEN JON
LENT HIS VOICE TO IT.
BUT IF I COULD, I WANT TO TELL
YOU, I JUST FOUND THIS POST ON
FACEBOOK OR EXCUSE ME, ON
GOOGLE.
I GOOGLE SEARCHED WHAT DOES
SOCIALISM MEAN BECAUSE I WANTED
TO KNOW WHAT PEOPLE THOUGHT IT
MEANT.
I JUST WANT TO READ THIS.
DAVID: I'M AFRAID TO HEAR WHAT
IT SAYS.
>> THIS IS WHAT PEOPLE THINK
SOCIALISM MEANS.
SOCIALISM IS AN ECONOMIC AND
POLITICAL SYSTEM WHERE THE WAYS
OF MAKING A LIVING FACTORIES,
OFFICES, ET CETERA, ARE OWNED BY
THE WORKERS WHO RUN THEM, AND
THE PEOPLE WHO DEPEND ON THEM.
MEANING THE VALUE MADE BELONGS
TO THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE IT
INSTEAD OF A GROUP OF PRIVATE
OWNERS.
WE'VE GOT A REAL PROBLEM HERE
WITH WHAT PEOPLE PERCEIVE TO BE
THE TRUTH AND WHAT THE REALITY
ACTUALLY IS.
THAT'S WHY GOLD STAR FAMILIES
WHO HAVE MADE TREMENDOUS
SACRIFICES TO PROTECT OUR WAY OF
LIFE FOR 243 YEARS ARE STANDING
UP TOGETHER THIS WEEK IN
WASHINGTON, D.C. SAYING NOT ON
OUR WATCH, WE WILL EDUCATE THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE, WE WILL DO IT
WITH THE DIGNITY OF A MOTHER AND
A WIFE AND WE WILL SAY NO, NO,
NOT TODAY, NOT TOMORROW AND NOT
EVER.
DAVID: YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE
FREEDOMS THAT YOUR SON AND MY
SON, BY THE WAY, FOUGHT FOR IS
THE FREEDOM OF PRIVATE PROPERTY,
IS THE FREEDOM TO OWN WHAT YOU
HAVE WORKED FOR AND TO HOLD ON
TO THAT.
A LOT OF THESE PROPOSALS YOU'RE
HEARING RIGHT NOW FROM SOME OF
THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES
INVOLVE GOING IN AND TAKING
BACK, FORCIBLY TAKING FROM YOU
SOMETHING YOU HAVE ALREADY
WORKED FOR, YOU HAVE ALREADY
PAID TAXES ON, CONFISCATION TAX
WHICH IS WHAT THE WEALTH TAX
REALLY IS, JON, I MEAN, THERE IS
THAT ECONOMIC SIDE BUT LET ME
JUST FOCUS ON THE PATRIOTIC SIDE
FOR A MOMENT AND THIS DE
DENIGRATION OF THE FLAG.
I THINK WHAT NIKE IS DOING IS
DENIGRATING THE VALUE OF THE
FLAG BY LISTENING TO COLIN
KAEPERNICK INSTEAD OF LISTENING
TO PATRIOTS WHO ENJOY THE IDEA
OF IT BEING PUT ON A PIECE OF
CLOTHING.
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT?
>> WELL, OF COURSE, IT'S VERY
DISTURBING TO HEAR THAT KIND OF
THING GOING ON.
BUT YOU KNOW, IT'S GOING ON
BECAUSE THESE YOUNG PEOPLE ARE
NOT GETTING ANY INFORMATION
ABOUT OUR GOVERNMENT AND OUR WAY
OF LIFE.
THE MAJOR INSTITUTIONS IN THIS
COUNTRY, THE MOST PRESTIGIOUS,
THE MAJORITY OF THEM, GREAT
MAJORITY OF THEM, HAVE NO
COURSES REQUIRED ON HISTORY, THE
HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY AND OUR
GOVERNMENT.
DAVID: ON THE CONTRARY, JON --
>> THE PEOPLE WHO ARE HISTORY
MAJORS --
DAVID: FORGIVE ME FOR
INTERRUPTING BUT IT'S JUST THE
CONTRARY, THAT YOU HAVE REQUIRED
COURSES TEACHING YOU STUFF ABOUT
CAPITALISM THAT'S WRONG,
TEACHING YOU STUFF ABOUT
SOCIALISM THAT'S WRONG.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
DAVID: SO THE ONLY REQUIREMENTS
YOU HAVE ARE REQUIREMENTS WHICH
GIVE YOU BAD INFORMATION.
WE WANT TO LEAVE ON A POSITIVE
NOTE.
QUICKLY FROM BOTH OF YOU, JON
FIRST, THEN TO KAREN, WHAT DOES
THE FLAG MEAN TO YOU, JON?
>> WELL, IT MEANS -- LISTEN,
IT'S THIS WONDERFUL WAY OF LIFE
THAT WE HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH,
THAT THIS COUNTRY HAS BEEN
BLESSED WITH.
IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT IT
MEANS IN TERMS OF THE COMPARISON
TO THIS SOCIALISM THAT IS
CREEPING IN, YOU LISTEN TO THE
PEOPLE WHO HAVE COME TO THIS
COUNTRY FROM COMMUNIST COUNTRIES
WHERE THEY DON'T HAVE THESE
FREEDOMS AND YOU WILL SEE.
THEY ARE FRIGHTENED TO DEATH.
THEY SAY JON, WHAT'S HAPPENING,
WHAT'S HAPPENING, WE SAW THIS
HAPPENING IN OUR COUNTRY.
AMERICA IS THE GREATEST.
I SAY YES, IT IS.
IT IS THE GREATEST.
WE HAVE BEEN THE BENEFICIARIES
OF IT.
WE WANT TO PROTECT IT.
DAVID: KAREN, FIVE OR TEN
SECONDS.
GO AHEAD.
>> REPRESENTATIVE REPUBLIC IS
THE NOBLEST FORM OF GOVERNMENT.
THE FLAG REPRESENTS A
REPRESENTATIVE REPUBLIC THAT WAS
HARD FOUGHT FOR.
1.3 MILLION HAVE GIVEN THEIR
LIVES FOR IT AND OVER 41 MILLION
HAVE FOUGHT TO PROTECT IT.
WE OWE THEM THE HONOR OF
PROTECTING IT IN THE GENERATIONS
TO COME.
DAVID: KAREN VAUGHN, JON VOIGHT,
