- When the American flag was raised on the University of North Carolina campus amid pro-Palestinian protests this week, some protesters wanted it to come down. Brendan Rosenblum and some of his Pi Kappa Phi fraternity brothers said no. They surrounded the flagpole and protected it from others trying to take it down. He tells “On Balance” they endured thrown water bottles and verbal abuse but stood firm. He also held an Israeli flag and said nobody was going to stop them from keeping those flags flying.
"On Balance with Leland Vittert" takes a critical look at some of the day's hottest subjects. Weekdays at 7p/6C. #OnBalance

As a 71 year old brother of Pi Kappa Phi myself, I'm really proud of you guys!
is this a BIG FRAT?, just curious
(i was too busy trying to get good grades and work F-T to pay off my state tuition every single year - graduated and with no school debts)....LOL
I’ll be honest, when I was in college in the south, Pike had a reputation for rowdiness. But you left a great legacy @jeffcrain9757 . On their way to the party, they saved the US flag …. That’s great priorities! And I WOULD vote for that young man.
@@dorettasdozen8537Pi Kapp- two different fraternities, these guys are Pi Kapps.
ODH!

Respect to all these gentlemen, from a US Vet 🫡🇺🇸
Thank you for your service 🙏 ❤️ 🇺🇲
thank you for your service.
Thank you for your service
Thank you for your service 🇺🇲🇺🇲
Thank you very very much for your service !
Taking down the flag should be considered terrorism.
I 2nd that motion. Either that and or Treason.
Repulsive speech is still free speech 🇺🇸 and making public de@+h threats is still a felony. Teach these children well 👍
Treason.
Free speech technically, flags get taken down at the end of the night
Treason to be exact.
PROUD OF THESE YOUNG MEN💯💯💯🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
ISRAEL FIRST
It is so great to witness when the youth of America steps up for all of us 🇺🇸 💯
God bless these young Americans!
Wonderfull kid! Thank you for protecting your country's flag!!!
May God bless this young man for standing behind our country!
My prayers for Israel 🇮🇱 🙏
UNC born and bred here! So very proud of our guys!! Real men and you’ve represented us well!
Same!
@@cold_take Your comment is dumb, how appropriate.
Proud of this man! Thank you… you have given me faith that American 🇺🇸 youth still hold the kind of values I was raised with. Bless you!
So proud of this young man! A real patriot.
One word: Patriots.
Praise God for young men like this! ❤️
This picture of these young men holding up the flag should be on the cover of every magazine and newspaper in America 🇺🇸 I wish I could personally thank them. I can't so I will do it here. Thank you so much for your love of America, Americans and humanity! I'm so proud! ♥️🤍💙🫂
Absolutely beautiful!
They should be invited to the WH but unfortunately they won't be!! We will wait for Trump to do it!
While all this is heroic but it's overshadowing a real issue. Why were the people allowed to assault these brave young men for over an hour without consequences
@@donnymcilvaine8563 Absolutely I agree with you 100%! I was just trying to put some focus on the good part! I'm so tired of all the horrific acts that are happening in our country. Sorry that I offended you. Yes, They should have been punished for their actions. It's disgraceful! These young men gave me hope for America and it's future generation.
@@donnymcilvaine8563 agree 💯
Damn right👍🇺🇸
It's about right and wrong.
And the right side is USA with Israel.
Jews and the Gentiles
Finally some kids with honor, courage and respect.
THANK YOU FOR PROTECTING THE AMERICAN FLAG!! YOU GUYS ARE ALL HEROS!!
Heroes
A ray of hope! 🇺🇸
UNC has my backing all the way..
This is beautiful. Thank you Brendan Rosenblum and your fraternity brothers for protecting the U.S. flag. God bless you, Many others through America's history have protected the flag. I am grateful and touched. I, also, love the Jewish people and Israel. Antisemitism is evil and has NO place in America. We proudly stand with you and your friends. Thank you.
God Bless America 🇺🇸 We will forever pledge our allegiance to you.
The University should endow each of these frat boys with a full-ride scholarship 👍 Otherwise, a GoFundMe for that purpose would cover it all real quick 🇺🇸
Their parents can pay. Any donations should be given to victims of 10.7
As an Israeli, its heart warming ro see Jews and non Jews stand up for what's right
Too bad y'all are wrong
@@user-kp8lb5lk6fwhy? Why do you think you're right, and they are wrong?
Genocide ain't right bruh
@@MulunaLewislaughtering innocent Jews ain't right either
@@nowhereman4319propaganda
What is clear is the ability for this young man to express himself and his thoughts with clarity and calmness, verses the paid protestors hostility and violent chants which encompass nothing but rhetoric and hate.
No one is paid Diane.
Thank you! You & your friends are the future we need in this country 🇺🇸🇮🇱❤️
Well done!
Yahhhsss finally we get to see some strong Americans standing up for what’s right!!! Props to these young men for protecting the flag and protecting each other! AND for defending Israel!!! Soooo so refreshing to see this video after witnessing the prolific hate
Brandon and all your brothers! You are amazingly brave. Nowadays the demonstration of dedication to America, especially by young people, is indeed something to be proud of. You are true fighters. Thank you.
Great work young man to you and your friends america and this person from australia are so proud of you
Very brave young men!! Very proud of them for standing strong. Against evil doers. May God bless you and your frat brothers. Thank you!!🇺🇸🇮🇱
Great job guys! Thank you from a Air Force Veterans widow and the Aunt of a Navy Sailor! God Bless you and America! 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
UNC grad here. Not always a fan of the Greek system, but proud of these young men for protecting the sanctity of our flag from these ignorant entitled protesters.
The irony if they pulled down the Palestine flag in Gaza Im sure would be a d sentence.
This America just 1 flag
Great job young kids great respect
Thanks guys.
If the Palestinian people have ever wondered why no one cares about their plight just watch this video...
Needs to be pinned. What you said AND they celebrated 9. 1/1
Many in the world care. Too bad governments are corrupt and wont do anything including govts of arab countries
Thanks to these Young Americans for protecting the flag. Many gave it all so it could continue waving proudly.
Thank you to the brothers of the Kappa Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi! From a brother of the Delta Zeta Chapter of Appalachian State University!
Young people standing up for America at a most important moment. That is so magnificent.
Glod bless american flag ty for standing up for the us flag
Props to you guys, great work. America is proud of you! Gives me hope, thanks.
As a US Army Infantryman, I would like to thanks these boys. We appreciate all of you helping keep that flag off the ground
There is hope!!!!
Absolute legends
I hope the university doesn't punish these boys, especially considering the kind of people who tend to run the universities. These boys are protecting and putting the American flag where it belongs. We need more students like them.
I don't see that happening. The colleges are under enough heat as it is right now.
This young man and his brothers just got their education.
Thanks to y’all it gives me hope for America 🇺🇸. There is still good people out there that loves America God Bless America 🇺🇸
God Bless America and these brave young men!
That's right, stand up for what you believe in. Courage and fortitude.
God bless this young man and his fraternity brothers❤️❤️❤️💯
That young man is a true patriot and his parents should be proud. He is also educated enough to explain why he believes the way he does. I’ve seen countless protestors who have no idea why they’re protesting!
It’s refreshing to see there are still young men like this out there.
Woot woot!
Frat guys saving America! Who had that on their 2024 Bingo card?
Thank you, gentlemen! You had me tearing up ❤ God bless!
GOD BLESS AMERICA 🇺🇸 ❤
That is going to be one wild rager.
❤❤❤😂
🇺🇸
I want to hug every one of those young men. Good job Patriots!
Nothing but love for these young proud Americans 👏🏾
appreciate you guys bro
DON'T LET THAT FLAG TOUCH THE GROUND
Who made color guard colored !???
Leland you’re coming around, there’s hope for you yet 👊🇺🇸
Love bravery, not hiding your face behind masks and scarves like all those who know they are on the wrong side, and are cowards. Thank you for strength and courage this country needs more people like you !
Frat bros are amazing. 😘
My Father And Uncles Fought For This Country! The AMERICAN FLAG means Everything To Us! God Bless The USA! 💯💯💯🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you to your family…this story does make us all proud 💯🇺🇸
Thank you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
These young men have balls!!!! It’s so great to see these young patriotic men!!!!!!!
Our forefathers especially the men of 1812 who stood on the bodies of their dead to make sure that our flag would not fall would be proud of these true Americans ❤❤❤❤
Thank you bud. I, a 34 year old man, stand inspired by you.
I AM PROUD FOR THESE GUYS PROTECTING THE USA FLAG 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤❤❤
They should get an award for their courage. I hope they start a patriotic UA-cam channel.
Needed this news. THANK YOU!
My husband is a Pi Kappa Phi and myself a little sister. Very proud moment for these young men!!!
That is new symbol for America Frat boys doing their bit. Brave and strong.
be proud brother, I agree,
This might be the only time a fraternity gets a positive spot in the news.
Sounds like a preconceived notion about white fraternity boys you don’t like.
I remember the Duke Lacrosse players were accused of a rape that never happened by Tawanna Brawley. Their reputations were trashed by Al Sharpton and liberal media.
It has been open season on white boys and white men for 30 years.
Run for President when you reach the appropriate age. I’ll vote for you!
😂 that’s called jumping the gun
Thank you for standing up against these protesters ❤
Fly whatever flag you want. This is America. You have a 1st Amendment. But Old Glory always flies highest and has the place of primacy, and for that we have the 2nd.
Very proud of you guys for standing up for what is right! God Bless All of you!
Young men like these are the ones that will be leading America forward . . . not trying to destroy it like the Hamas sympathizers!! 🇺🇸
Finally some college students who actually respect this country!
Absolutely wonderful for protecting the US flag, your country flag. Great job
So very proud of this brave young man and his fraternity ❤ Courage is priceless 👏💙
Incredibly historic pictures 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
As a US veteran Im glad people like him are willing to defend our flag i just wish more of them were around when our capital was under attack on Jan 6.
"Under attack" by people carrying the same flag, friend 🇺🇸 The Oath binds us to that flag and the constitution it represents, not to any regime 👍
Ashley Babbitt died there, shot in cold blood by a knuckle dragger, no justice
Agree
@@AsaTrenchard1865it was under attack. Don’t try to justify what happened.
@ASMRyouVEGANyet Yeah, grandma Lavrenz was threatening "Democracy" that January 6th day - a day worse than 9/11 and Pearl Harbor put together - after her 5 minute Capital visit.
Meanwhile, pro Palestine protestors storm Senate cafeteria...crickets...meanwhile, pro Palestine protestors nearly breached an exterior White House gate during a rally while throwing objects over the gate...more crickets....meanwhile pro-Palestine protestors close major U.S. interstates and Golden Gate Bridge and the police assist them. Maybe my mother was in an ambulance and never made it to the hospital that day because of that protest? We'll never know, will we.
For the Justice Department, either have equal application of the law regardless of the narrative or drop the damn charade. One year in jail and $210,000 in fines for granny Laverenz. I bet it is one year longer and $210,000 more expensive than the 50 Senate cafeteria breachers will face in totality - make it make sense - you can't.
To be fair, I'll wait the 3 years these pro Palestine Capital protestors will spend in prison waiting for their trial before rendering my final judgement. Oh wait, no, they're out.
Brave young men😊
As an Israeli, these scenes made me cry. It is unbelievable that this is what they are doing inside the US. No matter which side of the political map in Israel, such displays with the American flag will not be approved and will be fully condemned and I hope that this is what they will do in the US as well.
It is enough that this conflict is disrupting our lives, why should it also disrupt the lives of people in other countries?
Thanks and a lot of appreciation to these men who were there to restore the honor to the flag that it so deserves, and to give other people the courage to do the same the next time.
Thank you guys!!!!!!!
Brandon and friends thank you for standing up. You are our next generation, proud of you!
So proud of this young man!!
The fact that Prime Minister Ben saluted these men in his speech to congress to a standing ovation, gave me goosebumps.
Good job boys. You bring hope to the country! So proud of you!
So proud of these REAL young men!!! God bless them ❤️🇺🇸❤️🙌
We're so proud of these young men. They are wonderful. Thank you!!
So good to see a young man that loves America and realizes we should always stand by our friend Israel
You guys need a statue!!! Your bravery and patriotism is refreshing to say the least. Thank you to all. God bless 🇺🇸
Glad the youth aren't all insane, way to go gentlemen, good job thank you.
🇮🇱🇮🇱💙🇺🇸🇺🇸 may God save America and save Israel and bless those two nation
