[0:49] See the eagle in the paper? [0:53] That's taken from the seal of the President of the United States. [1:02] That's the American eagle. [1:07] All right. [1:12] Thank you. [1:31] There are two other things in the room that I think you ought to take a look at. [1:40] Can you see that? [1:41] This is the American flag. [1:49] This is the President's flag. [1:50] Can you see the eagles? [1:54] Right. [1:54] That's the same eagle that you see on the piece of paper that you're wearing. [1:59] That's the seal of the President of the United States. [2:05] There's a gentleman here I'd like to have all of you meet. [2:09] This is Mr. Steve Bull, right here. [2:13] And Mr. Bull works very closely with the President. [2:18] His office is right next door to the President's, right through the store. [2:22] He works with the President every day. [2:24] He probably sees the President more than anybody else in the White House. [2:43] Would you like to go in and have a look at the president's office? [2:47] Okay, now when we go in there, we'll point out some really interesting things too. [2:54] One thing we'd like to ask that you not do on the shelves, there are some birds that are, porcelain birds, they're made out of glass and they're very fragile. [3:05] And we'd like to ask that you not touch those and we wouldn't want to have one of them broken. [3:09] When we get in there, we'll point out [3:12] some interesting things about the President's office. [3:14] Remember, when you have questions, go ahead, put your hand up and ask. [3:18] We want to make sure you learn everything about the White House. [3:25] Okay. [3:25] We'll go this way. [3:26] Go. [3:28] Thank you. [3:56] Thank you. [4:21] Thank you.
