Happy Fourth of July! Here’s Bill Pullman’s Speech From Independence Day [Video]

Welcome ta Earf. We've got fireworks!

Recommended Videos

For the fine folks from the United States, it’s that time of the year where we set off a bunch of fireworks, drink way too much, grill meat, and watch Independence Day. That’s not exactly the plan for everybody, but it’s a pretty good guideline. Sure, Independence Day is all about fighting aliens on a global scale, but Bill Pullman’s speech as the President of the United States just before the final assault in that movie is as good a speech as any to celebrate with on the Fourth of July.
