Last week, street reporter Austen Fletcher, a.k.a Fleccas, took to the University of Southern California campus to ask students if they knew the Pledge of Allegiance. While most students said they knew the pledge, only a handful could actually recite it, surprising even themselves.
&#8220;This week I went back to USC to see if students could recite the pledge of allegiance,&#8221; Fleccas captioned the video, adding, &#8220;Out of everyone we interviewed, 18 out of 31 people didn&#8217;t know or botched the pledge. Sad!&#8221;
One female student, confident in her belief that she knew the pledge, started off with pledging allegiance to &#8220;the United States of Republica.&#8221;
It seemed as though it was the end of the pledge that really tripped students up. The word &#8220;indivisible,&#8221; for example, was frequently replaced with the word &#8220;individual.&#8221;
According to <a href="https://www.ushistory.org/DOCUMENTS/pledge.htm">USHistory.org</a>, &#8220;The Pledge of Allegiance was written in August 1892 by the socialist minister Francis Bellamy (1855-1931). It was originally published in The Youth&#8217;s Companion on September 8, 1892. Bellamy had hoped that the pledge would be used by citizens in any country.&#8221;
Some atheists have taken issue with the pledge for including the words &#8220;under God,&#8221; claiming &#8220;non-theistic children&#8221; are being forced &#8220;to either acknowledge God or stand out as a protestor,&#8221; according to <a href="https://secular.org/2015/11/remove-under-god-from-the-pledge-of-allegiance/">Secular.org</a>.
&#8220;No child should go to school each day to have the class declare that her religious beliefs are wrong in an exercise that portrays her and her family as less patriotic than believers,&#8221; said president of the American Humanist Association David Niose.
&#8220;Proponents of including &#8216;under God&#8217; in the Pledge argue that the United States is a Christian nation, at least 80% of Americans support the phrase, the language reflects America’s civic culture and is not a religious statement, and federal law, state constitutions, and US currency already contain references to God,&#8221; notes <a href="https://undergod.procon.org">ProCon.org</a>.
Last month, Fleccas went to Stanford University to capture the left-wing protesters outside of Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief Ben Shapiro&#8217;s speech.
&#8220;Though Shapiro would ultimately spend a majority of his speech denouncing the &#8216;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-shapiro-dismantles-the-alt-right-and-radical-lefts-dangerous-game">dangerous game&#8217;</a> being played by the Alt-Right, left-wing protesters were out en masse ahead of the speech to denounce Shapiro’s supposedly &#8216;hateful&#8217; rhetoric,&#8221; <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-ben-shapiro-protesters-at-stanford-asked-why-exactly-theyre-protesting-him">The Daily Wire</a> reported. &#8220;But, as Fletcher’s footage of his interactions with protesters shows (below), when asked to give some specifics about things Shapiro has said that are worthy of such an emphatic response, many of the protesters struggled to come up with anything at all.&#8221;
When students were asked to point out what specifically they take issue with regarding Shapiro&#8217;s supposedly &#8220;hateful&#8221; rhetoric, they came up empty. “Well, uh, there’s a whole slew of things. I think just generally what he stands for,&#8221; one protester told Fleccas. An adult protester said there was &#8220;nothing specifically&#8221; he could point to regarding Shapiro&#8217;s so-called &#8220;hate speech,&#8221; but nonetheless claimed the speaker and podcast host &#8220;obviously hurts communities.&#8221;
<div>
Here&#8217;s the pledge for those keep track at home:
<blockquote>&#8220;I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.&#8221;</blockquote>

Austen Fletcher

Patriotism

In a new man-on-the-street video (below), Austen Fletcher (&#8220;Fleccas&#8221;) went to a student protest against bestselling author and Daily Wire podcast host Michael Knowles over his speech titled &#8220;Men Are Not Women&#8221; at Kennesaw State University on Monday. Though Fletcher was repeatedly shut down by protest organizers, who told fellow activists not to &#8220;engage&#8221; with anyone who questioned their cause, he managed to talk with several.
Among the anti-Knowles/pro-trans activists&#8217; comments were defenses of &#8220;transitioning&#8221; young children using hormone therapy and irreversible surgery and an adamant defense of violence as a &#8220;useful political tool.&#8221; Some of the activists also admitted to not knowing much — at all — about Knowles.
As reported by <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/michael-knowles-men-are-not-women-speech-protested-by-ksu-progressives">The Daily Wire</a> earlier this week, a pair of student activist groups, Kennesaw State United and Kennesaw Pride, organized a protest ahead of Knowles &#8220;transphobic&#8221; speech hosted by Young Americans for Freedom. In a Facebook post, the groups spelled out the rules of engagement, including &#8220;minimizing[ing] interactions&#8221; with &#8220;transphobes, white supremacists, and others&#8221; who might question their agenda:
<blockquote>There is a possibility that transphobes, white supremacists, and others may approach. If approached, please minimize your interactions with them for your own safety and everybody else’s. If you’re comfortable, however, you may engage in productive conversation away from others as to not disrupt the positive space.</blockquote>
Fletcher found a lot of anti-free speech sentiment among the protesters.
When Fletcher asked one student if he thinks Knowles should be allowed to speak on campus, he said, &#8220;No,&#8221; explaining, &#8220;I don&#8217;t think hate speech is free speech.&#8221; When Fletcher asked if he had ever watched one of Knowles&#8217; videos, the student admitted he had not.
Another male student explained, when asked by Fletcher, why he was protesting Knowles that while he &#8220;doesn&#8217;t know much&#8221; about Knowles, he &#8220;saw the line &#8216;Men Are Not Women'&#8221; and the tagline about &#8220;propaganda from the left&#8221; on a poster.
While the student was speaking with Fletcher, one of the apparent organizers of the event came up to remind him that they &#8220;are not encouraging engagement&#8221; with people who do not embrace their agenda. &#8220;I understand,&#8221; said the guy. &#8220;He&#8217;s an adult,&#8221; added Fleccas.
When Fletcher asked the male student, &#8220;Do you disavow Antifa?&#8221; he replied, &#8220;No, god no.&#8221; Fletcher responded by asking about &#8220;the violence they do.&#8221;
&#8220;I think that violence is a useful political tool,&#8221; the student said, adding &#8220;if wielded in the proper fashion.&#8221; He also admitted that &#8220;collateral damage happens,&#8221; calling it &#8220;a shame.&#8221;
When Fletcher got the student to admit he had never watched a video of Knowles and was responding entirely to a poster he saw, Fletcher asked how he could be &#8220;okay with political violence&#8221; to shut him down. &#8220;No, I&#8217;ve been okay with political violence before I knew who this guy was,&#8221; the activist said.
Fletcher also managed to get some of the activists to explain their stance on &#8220;transitioning&#8221; young children.
&#8220;Do you think when it comes to children transitioning there should be &#8230; an age limit when a child is able to receive hormone therapy or transition surgery?&#8221; Fletcher asked one female activist.
&#8220;No, I do not,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I feel like if they have a medical diagnosis and this is who they are then that&#8217;s what needs to happen for them.&#8221;
An older activist slammed Fletcher for even asking her a similar question, suggesting it was not an adult&#8217;s business what children decide to do.
Another student defended children going through transitional therapy and surgery by saying that they are being guided by doctors and social workers.
The guy who previously espoused violence as &#8220;useful&#8221; said that &#8220;studies&#8221; show children can form a gender identity as young as &#8220;3 or 4.&#8221; While he expressed sympathy for those who push back against permanent &#8220;transition&#8221; changes in kids, he added, &#8220;I mean, I&#8217;m not going to tell [the kids] what to do.&#8221;

<div>
Fleccas&#8217; video also highlights how frequently his attempts to talk with protesters was shut down by the protest organizers, who repeatedly tell their fellow activists that they should not engage with him. They also tell him that some of the space is their designated space and he&#8217;s not allowed there.
&#8220;You can interview people, you just can&#8217;t be here,&#8221; said one of the activists, to which Fleccas noted that he is simply going up to &#8220;adults&#8221; and asking if they want to talk. &#8220;You guys don&#8217;t speak for other people,&#8221; said Fletcher.
Not everyone there was anti-free speech, including one self-described libertarian trans student, who said he was against what the activists were doing.
&#8220;Being trans is pretty socially acceptable now, as it should be,&#8221; said the student. &#8220;But if you are a straight, white guy, you&#8217;re silenced. You&#8217;re not allowed to voice your opinion.&#8221;

The latest video by popular man-on-the-street interviewer Austen Fletcher efficiently captures the alarming homeless situation in the city of Los Angeles, particularly the infamous &#8220;Skid Row,&#8221; wherein reside thousands of homeless people — most of whom are either suffering severe psychological problems or substance addiction, and among whom hundreds of sexual predators roam.
The 4-minute video, which Fletcher (also known as Fleccas) says he filmed in just one hour, is presented as a final look at the area he&#8217;s moving out of because of the rapidly deteriorating situation. In the area, he explains, there&#8217;s been a 50% increase in homelessness since 2012 (the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/48852/watch-how-dangerous-la-homeless-problem-dangerous-james-barrett">number</a> of homeless now topping 36,000 in L.A. and 59,000 in L.A. County). As his video shows, the situation poses a very real health threat to residents. Because of the rampant drug use, filth, and rats, disease is proliferating in the area.
The video begins with Fleccas and his cameraman driving up to the heart of Skid Row. Lining the sidewalks are tents, human waste, and trash, including hypodermic needles.
The camera captures a half-dressed woman standing amid trash attempting to bathe herself in a stream of water from a fire hydrant. The sidewalks and streets are strewn with garbage — bags, bottles, discarded shoes, and heroin needles.
When Fletcher asks one of the residents, who is sitting in a torn tent, if he can interview her, another woman throws an empty bottle at him.
One person who agrees to give an interview is a man who works for a group attempting to bring relief to the area. Asked why things are so &#8220;crazy&#8221; in Skid Row, the man replies, &#8220;Why&#8217;s it so crazy out here? Because everybody&#8217;s on drugs.&#8221; The next shot shows multiple needles lying amid yet more trash.
Asked why the city allows all of these people to live out on the streets, the man says, &#8220;The city, they keep saying they&#8217;re going to build more houses and more houses, but it&#8217;s taking too long. And then you&#8217;ve got more people that are coming from other cities, and they&#8217;re coming to downtown Los Angeles because of the resources they hear about but that is so slow.&#8221;
&#8220;So there are a lot of resources being advertised, but in the end there&#8217;s not much to go around,&#8221; says Fletcher.
&#8220;There are less toilets in Skid Row than there are in the Syrian refugee camps,&#8221; notes Fleccas, the camera focusing on human excrement in the street. The homeless, he explains, just relieve themselves on the side of road.
Another person who is willing to talk to Fletcher is an emaciated woman who tells him that she is about to start her 12 Steps, and that she is HIV positive. She tells him she&#8217;s been in the area since 1985, having come there after escaping her father, who she says molested her for nine years. Asked if she thinks the problem is a resource problem or a mismanagement problem, she says &#8220;mismanagement.&#8221;
She goes on to describe the diseases she&#8217;s seen spreading in the area, while Fleccas notes that people are literally dying the streets by the hundreds there every year.

Los Angeles

In his latest man-on-the-street video, Austen Fletcher, or &#8220;Fleccas,&#8221; attended Los Angeles&#8217; Pride Parade to see if he could get anyone to agree that &#8220;Trump&#8217;s not that bad.&#8221; His effort was met overwhelmingly with declarations of &#8220;F*** Trump!&#8221; and the dismissal of any facts suggesting Trump was trying to help the LGTBQ community in any way, including his global effort to end the criminalization of homosexuality.
The video, the latest in his &#8220;Trump&#8217;s Not That Bad&#8221; series, begins with Fletcher asking Pride paraders what Pride means to them.
&#8220;Pride is all about showing your inner-self, saying you love somebody without being judged,&#8221; says one guy in a black leather speedo and black wings. &#8220;It&#8217;s about unity, diversity, and having love for your fellow man &#8212; whatever they&#8217;re into, you know,&#8221; says one enthusiastic guy. &#8220;Just loving each other no matter what,&#8221; says one girl. &#8220;Pride is all about love. Period &#8230; You don&#8217;t have to be anything except yourself this weekend,&#8221; says one guy named Maxton.
But when Fleccas asks participants what they think about Donald Trump, the tone changes dramatically. &#8220;F*** Donald Trump,&#8221; says Maxton. When Fletcher asks the same question of a &#8220;furry&#8221; draped in a rainbow flag, he has a similar response: &#8220;F*** Donald Trump! He can burn in hell! &#8230; He can burn in hell for trying to get rid of trans!&#8221; The furry&#8217;s comment inspires a response from somebody in the crowd: &#8220;F*** Donald Trump!&#8221;
In fact, the &#8220;F*** Donald Trump!&#8221; line was apparently the most popular response of the day; Fleccas shows participant after participant declaring it into the camera.
When Fleccas asks one guy what he&#8217;d do if he told him that there are some things Trump&#8217;s done that are &#8220;pretty good,&#8221; he responds, &#8220;I&#8217;m not going to listen to you.&#8221; When he provides some examples, the response doesn&#8217;t get much better. Fletcher notes that Trump is putting pressure on governments that criminalize homosexuality, particularly in the Middle East, but even this pro-LGBTQ action is not celebrated by respondents, who make clear that, no matter what, Trump is not doing enough.
&#8220;Is he fixing all of the problems?&#8221; one guy asks in response. &#8220;Well, he&#8217;s an idiot,&#8221; says another in response to the decriminalization fact. &#8220;He doesn&#8217;t understand people. He undersands Donald Trump and that&#8217;s it, so it&#8217;s a personal vendetta.&#8221;
As <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/trump-administration-launches-global-effort-end-criminalization-homosexuality-n973081">NBC News</a> reported in February, the Trump administration has launched &#8220;a global campaign to end the criminalization of homosexuality in dozens of nations where it&#8217;s still illegal to be gay&#8221;:
<blockquote>
U.S. Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell, the highest-profile openly gay person in the Trump administration, is leading the effort, which kicks off Tuesday evening in Berlin. The U.S. embassy is flying in LGBT activists from across Europe for a strategy dinner to plan to push for decriminalization in places that still outlaw homosexuality &#8212; mostly concentrated in the Middle East, Africa and the Caribbean.
&#8220;It is concerning that, in the 21st century, some 70 countries continue to have laws that criminalize LGBTI status or conduct,&#8221; said a U.S. official involved in organizing the event.
</blockquote>
Fletcher also speaks with a self-described &#8220;gay conservative&#8221; man, who describes being outcast by the LGBT community for failing to fall in line politically and ideologically.

WATCH: Fleccas Tries To Get LA Pride Marchers To Agree ‘Trump’s Not That Bad’

As part of his &#8220;Trump&#8217;s Not That Bad&#8221; video series, Austen Fletcher of &#8220;Fleccas Talks&#8221; visited the campus of Kansas State University recently to give a speech sponsored by Turning Point USA. But when a small group of protesters gathered outside the venue, Fletcher decided to get in &#8220;disguise&#8221; and go down to join them. What results is a revealing back and forth between Fletcher&#8217;s side and the protesters on what exactly they are there to condemn.
Before the event, Fletcher stands in one of the common areas and engages in some dialog with students passing by (video below). Citing Trump&#8217;s work promoting prison reform, creating five million new jobs, reducing ISIS to under a thousand fighters, and his exoneration in collusion accusations, Fletcher manages to get some students to agree that Trump&#8217;s not as bad as the media has made him out to be.
One male student notes that the other state school, Kansas University, has created a new class called &#8220;<a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/kansas-university-to-offer-angry-white-male-studies-course">Angry White Male Studies</a>,&#8221; which promises to explore &#8220;the deeper sources of this emotional state while evaluating recent manifestations of male anger&#8221; in the U.S. and Britain since the 1950s. &#8220;Employing interdisciplinary perspectives this course examines how both dominant and subordinate masculinities are represented and experienced in cultures undergoing periods of rapid change connected to modernity as well as to rights-based movements of women, people of color, homosexuals and trans individuals,&#8221; the course catalog description reads.
Even some students who weren&#8217;t complimentary of Trump, agreed that the media is biased and causing more division in the country.
Soon, some students begin to gather to protest the event. While protesters are provided various posters, the protest organizer begins to lead protesters in some warm-up chants: &#8220;The people united will never be divided!&#8221; he says through his bullhorn. &#8220;We want to make sure they hear us in that room!&#8221; he reminds them.
Written on the posters are various social justice messages, including &#8220;Racism Has No Place Here,&#8221; &#8220;Rights For Minorities Don&#8217;t Oppress The Majority,&#8221; and &#8220;No Hate At K-State.&#8221;
&#8220;This is what democracy looks like,&#8221; the protest leader chants, the protesters, who are overwhelmingly white, repeating, &#8220;This is what democracy looks like.&#8221;
Viewing the rather small protest group from the window, Fletcher explains that he&#8217;s going to get into &#8220;disguise&#8221; and infiltrate the protest. His disguise is, well, not the most subtle.
[[{&#8220;fid&#8221;:&#8221;45444&#8243;,&#8221;view_mode&#8221;:&#8221;default&#8221;,&#8221;fields&#8221;:{&#8220;format&#8221;:&#8221;default&#8221;,&#8221;field_file_image_alt_text[und][0][value]&#8221;:false,&#8221;field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]&#8221;:&#8221;Fleccas Talks&#8221;},&#8221;type&#8221;:&#8221;media&#8221;,&#8221;field_deltas&#8221;:{&#8220;3&#8221;:{&#8220;format&#8221;:&#8221;default&#8221;,&#8221;field_file_image_alt_text[und][0][value]&#8221;:false,&#8221;field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]&#8221;:&#8221;Fleccas Talks&#8221;}},&#8221;attributes&#8221;:{&#8220;title&#8221;:&#8221;Fleccas Talks&#8221;,&#8221;class&#8221;:&#8221;media-element file-default&#8221;,&#8221;data-delta&#8221;:&#8221;3&#8243;}}]]
Fleccas quickly gives up on the whole bunny glasses thing and just talks to the protesters, saying as he looks around at the signs that he doesn&#8217;t disagree with any of them, except for those protesting the presence of TPUSA.
&#8220;&#8216;Racism has no place here.&#8217; Done, I agree,&#8221; says Fletcher. &#8220;&#8216;No hate at K-State.&#8217; I hope not. &#8230; &#8216;Bigotry is not welcome.&#8217; Where do I disagree with any of this?&#8221;
Asked by one of the TPUSA members what exactly they&#8217;re protesting, the protest leader says they&#8217;re not protesting anything specific the Kansas State chapter has done, rather the &#8220;rhetoric&#8221; of the national leaders of TPUSA.
The TPUSA member and Fletcher respond by asking for specific quotes and names. &#8220;Case by case, we&#8217;ll disavow it,&#8221; says one of the conservatives.
But the protest leader refuses to get specific, saying, &#8220;I did not come here to do that.&#8221;
Fletcher and the other conservatives push back, noting he came armed with his cell phone that supposedly has information on it.
Fletcher then bypasses the leader and directs some comments to the other protesters. &#8220;Whatever you think you&#8217;ve heard about us, let us know,&#8221; he says. &#8220;I don&#8217;t have any hate in my heart for anybody. I&#8217;m glad you&#8217;re here. First Amendment right. It&#8217;s our First Amendment right, too. I don&#8217;t think we disagree on a lot. I think if we do, it&#8217;s from a misunderstanding. I literally hold no hate in my heart for any group of people. I would never allow it to happen around me either. I&#8217;ve been an advocate for a number of different groups. I think you guys are doing a great thing in being out here and getting together. I do think that maybe you were misled a little bit when it comes to who we are as people.&#8221;
Another protest leader then takes to the bullhorn, cutting off Fletcher mid-speech, saying the leaders think &#8220;this dialog is not helpful to proving our point&#8221; and asking the protesters to move to a different location that will better get the attention of administrators.

Trump Administration

For his latest man-on-the-street video, conservative reporter Austen Fletcher (&#8220;Fleccas Talks&#8221;) went to the campus of the University of Southern California Monday to ask students a simple question: Are you happy to know that your president didn&#8217;t collude with the Russians and overthrow our political system? What he found were more people willing to say yes than might be expected on a modern liberal campus.
On Friday, Special Counsel Robert Mueller submitted his final report on what he found after two years, 2,800 subpoenas, almost 500 search warrants and 500 witness interviews, and 13 evidence requests to foreign governments. Sunday, Attorney General William Barr issued his highly anticipated summary of Mueller&#8217;s 300-page report: The report recommends no further indictments, &#8220;did not find that the Trump campaign or anyone associated with it conspired or coordinated with Russia in its efforts to influence the 2016 U.S. presidential election,&#8221; and &#8220;does not conclude&#8221; that Trump obstructed justice, leaving that to the State Department, which has since said they found no evidence of obstruction.
When Fleccas asked students at USC if they were happy about the findings, he appears to have found more students willing to go on record to say yes than no.
&#8220;Best news since the election, honestly,&#8221; says one guy. &#8220;Yeah,&#8221; says another. &#8220;It seems like it was one of those nothingburger situations.&#8221; Another male students says it even more emphatically: &#8220;It&#8217;s great news. I&#8217;d be shocked that anybody&#8217;s upset that the president didn&#8217;t commit treason.&#8221;
But not everyone was so enthused. &#8220;I don&#8217;t think the Mueller report was very accurate,&#8221; says one highly skeptical female student. When Fleccas tries to get any positive response from her, asking, &#8220;Didn&#8217;t overthrow our political system at least?&#8221; she gives her final answer: &#8220;No. F*** the president.&#8221; Fleccas quips, &#8220;Okay, that&#8217;s one way to look at it.&#8221;
&#8220;Are you happy to know that the president didn&#8217;t collude with the Russians and overthrow our political system?&#8221; Fletcher asks another male student. &#8220;I mean, I already knew it was all bullsh** from the beginning, so it was no surprise, really,&#8221; the student replies.
&#8220;Is that even true then?&#8221; responds one guy who repeatedly says he finds it &#8220;hard to believe&#8221; that Trump wasn&#8217;t committing treason with Putin.
Two of three guys who appear to be happy to be on camera give the news &#8220;big time thumbs up,&#8221; and even &#8220;double triple thumbs ups,&#8221; though one of them later says he doesn&#8217;t want Trump to get re-elected.
Fletcher particularly seeks out some students who describe themselves as moderates, one of whom doesn&#8217;t appear to feel comfortable having his face appear on the video, but is willing to offer some thoughts on how far left the Democratic Party has gone.
Another student says that conservatives experience threats and harassment on campus, specifically citing his friend experiencing &#8220;a lot of harassment&#8221; for helping host a YAF event featuring Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief Ben Shapiro.
