单集文稿 ...

  • Hey there, it's the NPR Politics Podcast.

  • I'm Tamara Keith.

  • I cover politics.

  • I'm Miles Parks.

  • I cover voting.

  • And I'm Scott Tetreault.

  • I used to go here.

  • And you're back.

  • I'm so happy to have you.

  • You're like a college kid coming back to a high school party.

  • At this point, I'm like the college kid who's come back for the fourth time.

  • And everyone's like, oh, hey, man, it's you again.

  • And we are glad.

  • I feel like it's more like the ghost of Christmas path.

  • I think Scott's here to teach me a lesson or something.

  • I don't know what the lesson is, but I'm eagerly awaiting it.

  • Well, we are here to teach you a lesson, really to initiate you.

  • Into the most important Fourth of July tradition in America, or at least on the NPR Politics Podcast.

  • And this is a big one because we are marking the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

  • So what better way to celebrate
