Bill Pullman Reprises His Independence Day Speech In Support Of Vaccine Access

“In less than a week we hope to fire up our grills, and launch one of the biggest fourth of July celebrations in the history of the United States,” Pullman says. “The United States, those words have new meaning for us all today, and whether you drive a pick-up or a hybrid, you live in the heartland or on the coast, or whether you pronounce it America or ‘murica, we’re all Americans, seldom on the same page but reading from the same book, on holidays anyway. Perhaps it’s fate that this 4th of July we’ve gotta once again come together to lend a hand to those less fortunate whose fate still lies in the balance. We’re fighting for freedom for all, not from alien invaders, from separation, form being cooped up while backing bread and ignoring basic hygiene.”

“The time has come for us to get fresh, gather the crew, and eat veggie and meat burgers ’til we sweat, and then let’s work together towards a future where everyone can come to the party. And should we win the day, the 4th of July will no longer be known as an American holiday but as the day when the world declared in one voice, we will not go quietly into the night, we will fill the sky with so much light and freedom this thing will rue the day it ever messed with us. Together, we celebrate our Independence Day.”

He concludes it, “Go fourth, America.”

For those that plan on watching Pullman in the Roland Emmerich movie this weekend, keep in mind when you’re watching the scene that his speech is the whole reason that the movie got its name.
