00:00Do you have plans for the 4th this year? President Trump sure does, and they are big,
00:04big, big plans, because this year is America's 250th birthday. The president plans to hold,
00:10in his words, the most spectacular rally on the National Mall, with the backdrop of the
00:15newly refurbished reflecting pool. That will hopefully be a lovely sight, except the reflecting
00:20pool is currently green again with algae and looking kind of gross, but they're working on it.
00:25The president will deliver a keynote address on the 4th of July, but the event will also include
00:29military bands, orchestras, and ceremonial units performing patriotic songs and American classics.
00:35Trump said, quote, we will have none of those people that put you to sleep and constantly
00:39complain. That was perhaps a nod to the artists that very publicly backed out of the planned
00:44Freedom 250 concerts. Regardless, sounds like we've got a really jazzy rendition of You're a
00:50Grand Old Flag coming our way next month. The 250th birthday soiree will also include military flyovers
00:55and what the president says will be the largest firework show in history.
