Why the Pledge of Allegiance is Not Accurate Anymore

Main message: The speaker uses an anecdote about fear of ICE to argue that the United States is deeply divided and not living up to the unity claimed in the Pledge of Allegiance ("one nation... under God").

Key points:

• A friend had to shuttle his young cousins because their relatives were afraid of being "snatched up" by ICE.
• This fear illustrates the real vulnerability and insecurity some people experience in the country.
• The speaker contrasts that reality with the ideal of pledging allegiance to a united nation.
• They assert the nation is split along partisan lines and therefore not truly "one nation" or "under God."
