00:00Go ahead.
00:00This is like Explorer Day for you, sir.
00:02Today we have your Columbus Day proclamation for Monday,
00:05which we're signing a bit early.
00:07Christopher Columbus, obviously, discovered the new world in 1492.
00:12He was a great Italian explorer.
00:16He sailed his three ships, the Nina the Pinta and the Santa Maria,
00:19across the Atlantic Ocean, and landed in what's today the Caribbean.
00:23But this is a particularly important holiday for Italian-Americans
00:27who celebrate the legacy of Christopher Columbus
00:29and the innovation and explorer zeal that he represented.
00:34In other words, we're calling it Columbus Day.
00:37Yes.
00:44That was the press that broke out in applause.
00:50That was, can you believe that?
00:51I've never seen that happen before.
00:53The press actually broke out in applause.
00:57Good.
00:58Columbus Day, we're back.
00:59Columbus Day, we're back, Italians.
01:02We love the Italians.
01:04Okay.
01:05Thank you, Mr. President.
01:05Thank you. Great.
01:06Thank you very much.
