Hey everyone, I'm Pete Hegseth, and it's time to take the quiz. This is the quiz. History, pop culture, science, sports, civics. How much do you know? Let's find out.
Five days a week. It's five questions in less than five minutes. We asked people on the streets of New York City to play along. Let's see how you do. All right, here we go. Question one. How old will the United States of America be on July 4th, 2026? 213. 250. That sounds right.
The U.S. will be 250 years old in the year 2026. It's a big one. Hope we have a huge parade. We better with tanks. All right, question two. Who was the British general that surrendered to the United States at Yorktown, effectively ending the American Revolution? Sergeant York. Just going to guess and say Cornwallis.
So the answer would be General Charles Cornwallis. Okay, not bad. I mean, the first one was a layup.
The second one was a mid-range jumper. They're going to get a little tougher from here. Question three in the quiz. What executive order issued on January 1st, 1863, I think I know this already, declared all persons held as slaves within any state shall be then, thenceforth, and forever free? The Freed Slaves Act. The Emancipation Proclamation.
If you guessed the Emancipation Proclamation, you would be correct. All right, that was a wide-open three. Now we've got a guarded three-pointer. Question four. In May 1927, Charles Lindbergh flew the Spirit of St. Louis from Long Island, New York, to Paris, France, completed the first solo nonstop transatlantic flight. What was the name of the airfield that Lindbergh lifted off from? I don't know.
Americana Manhasset? No idea. That would be Roosevelt Field. All right, play, share, listen. Question five is next. The Fox News Rundown. A contrast of perspectives you won't hear anywhere else. Your daily dose of news twice a day. Featuring insight from top newsmakers, reporters, and Fox News contributors. Listen and subscribe now by going to foxnewspodcast.com.
All right, get ready. So I've been using the analogies of the layups, the mid-range jumpers, the wide-open threes, the heavily guarded three. Now you got a buzzer beater. This is it right here. Here we go. Question five. A notable landmark amongst those traveling westward during the 19th century expansion of the United States, what Nebraska rock formation was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 15th, 1966?
Mount Rushmore. The Platte rock formation. No clue. So the answer is... Chimney Rock.
All right, how did you do on the quiz? I think I would have been three for five, which if you're in the NBA finals and you're three for five from three, it's not bad. Just stick with that. Either way, you can try again tomorrow. And if you missed any along the way, you can always find more quizzes at thequiz.fox and come back here to see how you did.
