Welcome to the Eric Metaxus show with your host, Eric Mettaxas.

Hey, gang.

Oh, ho!

Guess what this weekend is?

What is it now?

This is a national hot dog day or something? Yeah, yeah. Or National fireworks day. It might be. What is that holiday? It's on the fourth of the seventh month of every year. Yeah. Is it the month of Tammuz? What is the month? Oh, July 4th. It's coming up. Yes. It's called Independence Day, folks. I pronounce Julie.

We don't celebrate hot dogs.

Okay.

We don't celebrate, you know, fireworks.

We celebrate the birth of America.

Yes.

The birth of liberty on the world stage.

It happened in 1776, which is coming up on 250 years ago. I need to write a book to come out

for the 250th anniversary. Well, I like to do this every year. If you get an 81 year old guy, okay,

and you go back to the day he was born, find another 81 year old guy and go back to the day he was

born, find another 81 year old guy, and you go back to the day he was born you get to

around 1776 only three 81 or 82 year old men or women go back and that's how young today

is more like 61 so we're really only talking about 180 years there's something like that yeah

okay so here's what's happening this weekend.

First of all, let me say before we get to July 4th, which is on Sunday, and we're going to get into that in a second here.

But I want to say July 3rd, there's a big celebration in New York City.
