we used to. but we're going to try to make the most of it with family and friends that we've been kind of. this year the 4th of july will be a completely different holiday number one because a security fence was keeping people away from the white house for security reasons us were expecting many protests potentially riots on the 4th of july and later on saturday this is where the president will deliver his speech addressing the nation . at the black lot of smatter applause a t. shirt vendors are hoping for good business and a large turnout. oh man it's all our. independence. hall the liberties that we have achieved for over 200 years. i should apply to everyone and all of us see this. demonstration sure of that for the not equal farmer one i just hope that more and more people will read owns mass because that
