The NPR Politics Podcast · Is America's 250th birthday celebration too partisan? · 2 Jul 2026 podcast

Actually, the rehearsals were happening today and we heard all.

I mean, wow, that was loud.

And then a a record breaking or at least that's the plan to have a world record breaking fireworks spectacular here in Washington, D.C., which will be immediately preceded by a Trump rally.

President Trump is going to give a speech.

And yesterday he gave a little bit of a preview.

I just want to interject and add that as he was giving that speech, I was there.

This was in a place called Medora, North Dakota, where he was there to dedicate and open the Teddy Roosevelt Memorial Library.

He gave that speech.

In the full sun, it was 85, 90, which I know not hot by current DC oven standards.

But as he was saying that, I was thinking, Godspeed, man.

I was already just dying.

I don't know how that's going to work, but let's see how it goes.

And he's wearing a full suit.

No kidding.

Yeah.

I will just say, as the Floridian on the podcast here, growing up in 100-degree weather, it's a little less impressive to me, but the full suit does put him over the edge.

But I want to drill down a little bit on what exactly is happening, because I'm a little confused, Tam.

I've heard the term America 250 and also Freedom 250 related to different events associated with the celebration.

Can you explain that a little bit?

Let me try.
