i pledge allegiance
to the flag of the united states
of america
here i am sandwiched between j.lo and
lady gaga
and i'm thinking how do you make the
pledge exciting on the heels of
lady gaga fire captain andrea m hall for
the reciting of the pledge of allegiance
i did it because i am bilingual
essentially
and if i spoke any other language
spanish or
japanese or french i would certainly
want those people that i am connected to
to be able to receive that information
in our native language
and to the republic for which it stands
one nation under god
there was an intense amount of
nervousness that came over me
that i had not experienced up to that
time i was like oh my god please don't
let me forget what i'm supposed to be
saying
one nation under god
indivisible with liberty and
justice for all it was written for
little children who were immigrants
and in some way we're all immigrants you
know we're a mismatch of people from all
over
and i think that's the significance of
it it's a way to unify all of us by
speaking those 31 words
