Presidents’ Day Is a Lie (It’s Washington’s Birthday)

Presidents’ Day Is a Lie (It’s Washington’s Birthday)

It’s not “Presidents’ Day.” Legally, it’s George Washington’s Birthday—and we’ve quietly erased the one American who actually deserves a national holiday.

In this episode, I explain how a 1968 law moved holidays to Mondays, how retail “Presidents’ Day” sales hijacked the meaning, and why Washington’s character matters: the war hero who survived what should’ve killed him, turned down a crown, stepped away after two terms, and personally led troops to put down the Whiskey Rebellion.


We also cover a modern contrast: government subsidies and incentives that raise prices, distort markets, and create the very “affordability” problems politicians pretend to solve.
