00:00I know that there are forces that seek to divide us, to redefine our history and to tear down our
00:07shared traditions.
00:08They call it war culture. They seek to cancel our culture. They are wrong.
00:14To try to erase Columbus Day is not just an attack on a statue or a date on the calendar.
00:20It is an attempt to erase the foundational history of Italian-Americans
00:25and to deny their hard-fought place in the tapestry of this nation.
00:30We will not let them do it.
00:33Columbus Day is here to stay.
00:36Let me quote the beautiful proclamation that President Trump issued last week.
00:40He said,
00:41As we celebrate Columbus' legacy, we also acknowledge the contributions of the countless Italian-Americans
00:48who, like him, have endlessly contributed to our culture and our way of life.
00:54To this day, the United States and Italy share a special bond rooted in the timeless values of faith, family
01:01and freedom.
01:01Well said, President Trump. Thank you.
01:04We'll see you tomorrow.
01:05We'll see you tomorrow.
