00:00I know that there are forces that seek to divide us, to redefine our history, and to tear down our shared traditions.
00:12They call it woe culture. They seek to cancel our culture. They are wrong.
00:18To try to erase Columbus Day is not just an attack on a statue or a date on the calendar.
00:24It is an attempt to erase the foundational history of Italian-Americans and to deny their hard-fought place in the tapestry of this nation.
00:34We will not let them do it.
00:37Columbus Day is here to stay.
00:40Let me quote the beautiful proclamation that President Trump issued last week.
00:44He said, as we celebrate Columbus' legacy, we also acknowledge the contributions of the countless Italian-Americans who, like him, have endlessly contributed to our culture and our way of life.
00:58To this day, the United States and Italy share a special bond rooted in the timeless values of faith, family and freedom.
