Read Transcript
- David, to the conventions.
There's a story that's breaking,
actually, that you broke onspecific Democratic caucuses
reciting the pledge of allegianceat the virtual convention,
leaving out the words, under God.
Let's take a listen.
- I pledge allegiance to the flag
of the United States of America
and to the Republic for which it stands,
one nation, indivisible withliberty and justice for all.
- David, this seems to be a pattern.
You broke another story on arelated topic back in 2012.
What's going on here?
- Well, right, back in2012, we broke the story
about those words, under God, being left,
or the word God being left out
of the Democratic Party platform.
Here, what you just saw there
was the DemocraticNational Committee Caucus,
it was a Muslim affairs caucus, a meeting,
that the DNC was holding this week.
They left the words, underGod, out as you just heard.
Also, the LGBTQ, orexcuse me, LGBT caucus,
that's what they callthemselves at the DNC,
also left the words, under God, out.
- I pledge allegiance to the flag
of the United States of America
and to the Republic for which it stands,
one nation, indivisible withliberty and justice for all.
- So what's the point of putting that up?
Well, a couple of things.
First of all, let's put thisall in context and be clear.
The DNC, on day one, did go ahead
and say the words, underGod, in their pledge.
That was on day one.
They also said it on daytwo in the general session.
But in these smaller caucuses,they're not saying it,
at least in these two instances.
The point is that there is an underbelly
of a progressive far left
that the Democrats aregonna have to deal with
and that's what's kindof driving the ship.
- All right.
