Freedom 250 for everyone: Vanilla Ice
Rapper Vanilla Ice joins The Story to discuss his intention to perform at the America 250 Great American State Fair in Washington, D.C., despite other artists pulling out. He expresses strong patriotism, calling on Americans to unite in celebration of the country’s 250th anniversary. Ice contrasts his positive outlook with actor Robert De Niro’s recent criticism of the country’s leadership.
Matthew McConaughey is getting people excited for the 4th of July.
Saturday is America’s 250th birthday and I can guarantee you the celebration will be fun, wild and full of patriotism.
Hopefully you already have your grill supplies and beer on ice. Failing to prepare is preparing to fail, and that is unacceptable on Independence Day.

The True Detective star said the following in the video:
So here we are today, lighting a fire, breaking bread, raising a glass to our family and friends, and maybe even to a neighbor with whom we disagree. Today we let the kids run around barefoot after dark, baby. It’s a holiday. It’s not that we have arrived somewhere, but that we are still on the way. Take inventory, with what’s in the mirror and together. Here’s to new dances in the home of the brave. Happy 250th anniversary, America. Just keep living.
