This Guy Walked Around NYC Reciting the ID4 Speech — For America [Video]

Funkanomics Comedy sent its own Sean Kleier out into the streets to deliver the triumphant pre-battle speech originally given by Bill Pullman in Independence Day. And like a demented, patriotic evangelist, Kleier hit various locations throughout New York City — the subway and a Subway — to inspire and possibly piss off everyone who never wanted to listen in the first place. But you know what? They were probably ready to fly a plane into a spaceship by the end of the speech. How could you not be?

Now, can he please go around doing the “I’m Afraid, Dave” speech from 2001: A Space Odyssey? That would be nuts.
