Many CTH readers are probably aware of John Spiropoulos as he created some brilliant investigative reports and videos to highlight the FISA scandal, the Clinton email scandal and Spying on Team Trump. John is planning another adventure to showcase how ordinary middle-class America is responding to the challenges of COVID-19.
John would like to trek across America and do video segments showcasing how Americans rise to the challenges; and in many cases how ordinary people are pushing-back against the dictatorial fiats of overzealous local and state officials.
This would be the type of real, on-the-ground, reporting adverse to the corporate interests of mainstream media. The “Let’s Roll America” program would be John in his RV traveling from California to the southeast coast, up the eastern seaboard and across the heartland back to the West coast. Each day he’d be doing video journals showing what real Americans are doing along the way.
To accomplish this effort Mr. Spiropoulos would need financial support, and he has set up a GoFundMe Page to see if people would crowd-fund the eight week traveling series. CTH has agreed to help promote and support the effort with additional details below:
John Spiropoulos – America is a “can-do” country. “Can’t” is not in our vocabulary. So when elites say you can’t go to work, you can’t leave the house, your kids can’t go to school, you can’t get the medical procedure that was scheduled, the average American says, “Wait a minute. I supported “15 days to flatten the curve. But when did that morph into we’re closed until we find a cure?” Nobody signed up for that!
People want to go back to work. They want their kids to go back to school. I’m going to talk to those Americans on their home turf and bring you their stories.
With your financial support, I’ll soon be heading out on an 8 to 10- week, 8,000 mile cross country tour of America. I’ve done a few interviews in my time. I’m a former TV News personal finance reporter with 50 years experience in Washington, DC and other cities. Every day I’ll file video news reports about the struggles, hopes and dreams of everyday Americans during the Economic Shutdown.
We will be reporting from dozens of towns and cities across the country. Those reports will be featured at http://www.TheConservativeTreehouse.com and on cable TV. One America News, which is helping sponsor the tour, will feature my reports on their news programs available on cable and Facebook.
Your GoFundMe contributions will be used to cover travel expenses and to write, report and produce daily news reports ranging from 2 to 4 minutes. I need your financial support to tell this story. And I need your ideas as well. Feel free to share who I might contact in your area of the country.

Just a rough itinerary…. My first stop going East from California will be somewhere in Arizona. Then New Mexico. Lubbock, Texas where I know some small businesses in the oil patch), Dallas and maybe Houston. Then on to New Orleans (where there’s a great story about a business who survived Katrina only to be hammered by the shutdown) with maybe a stop in nearby Biloxi, MS. Then maybe Mobile, Alabama before hitting the Florida Panhandle, then south to Tampa and maybe Sarasota, then northeast to Orlando and maybe Jacksonville. There must be some cruise industry stories in Florida.
After Florida, a few stops through South and North Carolina, Virginia (along the I-95 corridor) into Maryland. Also looking at stops in Delaware and NJ and maybe NYC. Might go to Boston to dump some tea in the harbor before turning West through upper NY state and then Williamsport, PA. where there’s no Little League World Series this year. Gotta be a story there.
Then continuing with points west including Cleveland, OH; Jackson, Michigan and maybe another spot in Michigan if it’s still in turmoil with the goofy governor. After that, Chicago, St. Louis, Topeka, Kansas City, Omaha. Las Vegas. After that, we’ll see.
While I’ve mentioned major cities, those are just the main points on the map. The stories may be another 25 to 50 miles away. Who knows!
If you’d like to support John and/or have the chance to connect along the journey; and you would enjoy seeing reports of the travel and American people through the eyes of a video storyteller; you can help support the effort at John’s Fundraiser – SEE HERE
Introduction: Becoming A Hero
All kids fantasize about saving humanity, though most outgrow it. Yet, Obama’s vast “Freedom Warrior” army cling to these dreams. Most Obamatons tend towards agnosticism. Some become ‘leftist rebel bureaucrats—believing themselves an undercover Che Guevara with a pension. Many toiling for Federal paychecks are actually quite liberal. And, given the right motivation, will pursue amazingly unethical and illegal actions to service their beliefs.
Unmasking Dead Enders
This theory is the most plausible explanation for Obama loyalists gathering to battle Trump before he entered office. When a serious group of professionals suddenly goes rogue, there must be profound reasons. That reason was saving us from a fate worse than death – Donald John Trump.
Obama Reeling
A terrified Obama now stumbles, attacking Trump’s coronavirus response. Meanwhile, buddy Judge Sullivan cooks up toxic Gen Flynn poison to finish off this patriot. Why? Because that’s the kind of bovine-excrement the incompetent anti-Trump Army wastes their time upon.
Tracing the modern motif of liberal government worker as secret rebel, consider the bloody French Revolution. An anti-religious massacre with countless murders of Catholics and Huguenots. Afterward, science and humanism replaced God. For all future leftist rebellions, this became outline as Karl Marx taught Marxists must fight for world revolution to redistribute wealth.
“Marxism” officially banished religion, seeking world domination and a property-free state. Marx’s infamous Communist Manifesto ends with these chilling lines:
The Communists disdain to conceal their views and aims. They openly declare that their ends can be attained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions. Let the ruling classes tremble at a Communistic revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win.
Leftism always favored a revolutionary road to utopia. Achieving greatness means sacrifice for a Communist/ socialist society. For no life exists after this one.
But why did American liberals claim Trump a Satan? Historically, leftists mortally fear losing power. After all, few naturally hardcore Marxists exist. Insecurity led USSR Marxists to try to craft permanent power. They dissolved parliament, legal statutes and opposition parties. So Lenin’s group was the Bolsheviks, aka “majority,” but actually a tiny minority. Combining Marx’s tyrannous ‘Dictatorship of the Proletariat’ with a terror state to enforce permanent rule, ditching democracy, constitutionalism, rights and Rule of Law. With full-blown leader worship, the state devolved into humanist religion, with the Communist Manifesto as Bible, the Party a priesthood, and supreme leader as Pope
Trump v. Obama Messages
Trump represents robust Americanism, is patriotic, unafraid to engage leftists and built on “America First” nationalism. Trump’s platform astounded leftists, antagonizing Obama’s cult. Eight years into steering US policy towards socialist evolution, Barack’s “forced descent” rankled traditionalists, but thrilled progressives. Example, recall Barack’s “We Can’t Drill Our Way Out!” anti-oil campaign?
Obama’s relentless US downgrading, habitual apologizing, and indifference as president communicated America’s best days lay behind. Like a hospice maître-d’, Barack was giddy about traditional America’s demise. Then Trump ran, and damn well must be taken out at the knees if he pulled off a miracle and gained the Oval Office. And so, the infamous FBL backup plan was born.
For modern leftists and Obamatons, the Communist Revolution continues into Globalism – the final frontier. The chief anger of Obama’s minions is abandonment of Globalism. Further, Trump confronting Obama and China during coronavirus doesn’t bode well here.
Globalism: Socialism on Steroids
Theodore Roosevelt Malloch stated, “Globalism” is one world government run on democratic socialism and world citizenship.” His Globalism blueprint is mind-numbing: Forced peace results when religion is made extinct. Borders disappear since only one state exists. “Illegal alien” is a nonsense term. Wealth confiscation creates equality via redistribution. All humans are “entitled to all of the same economic, social and legal privileges of citizens the world over.”
Reminiscent of Hillary’s promise to open up to all North and South Americans, 600 million people:
“My dream is a hemispheric common market, with open trade and open borders, sometime in the future with energy that’s as green and sustainable as we can get it, powering growth and opportunity for every person in the hemisphere,” Clinton reportedly said to investors in a paid speech she gave to Brazilian Banco Itau in 2013.
Law passed by world parliament, enforced by global entities. Democratic Socialism equals ending political parties to end partisanship. As power is centralized, Global Warming and other environmental disasters will be solved. Universities will purvey one unifying truth while teaching various subjects. What far leftist wouldn’t get weak at the knees at this program as it encapsulates all of Marx’s dreams.
Malloch warns,
“The true end of globalism is the eradication of nations, patriotism, popular sovereignty, any attachment to families, churches or civic associations, and the emergence of a “New Man” (Person): cosmopolitan, rootless, atheist, and willing to follow the dictates of globalist ideology.”
CONCLUSION
Obama’s conceited Trump attack meant to kill his presidency before his inauguration. A stupid idea which still caused Trump profound harm. The real purpose was to salvage plans to save mankind. Charming, but many historic groups had crazy beliefs and tried to convert others. Most failed. Here, America got lucky not suffering worse from these imbeciles. But even sincere cultists must be punished as a lesson for any future hare-brained conspirators.
Just when you thought it could not get any more corrupt, the Democrats have demonstrated to the world that they are beyond all morality, ethics, and are outright corrupt. Tucked inside House Democrats’ new coronavirus bill is language that would create a loophole in states’ voter ID requirements, allowing people to cast ballots without having to prove who they are.
After accusing Russia of influencing the 2016 election, they are trying to sneak in open-season for total corruption. It has long been a joke in Chicago where all the dead manage to vote Democratic in elections and the number of votes always exceeds the population.
Now they want votes to be counted with no proof of who you are, alive, dead, an illegal alien not paying taxes or a tourist from Europe, or perhaps even from Mars with green or grey skin.
I warned that the 2020 election will be the MOST CORRUPT in history. The Democrats have proven this is beyond question. The problem they are unleashing is if they have so corrupted the election to overthrow Trump, they will ignore the political bonfire of all time. We will be looking at massive civil unrest and there will be blood in the streets. If the Democrats think that they can get away with that, all civility will come to an end. That would encourage civil war.
I have warned that I had good DIRECT information that those associated with Bill Gates sold out in January because of a coming “virus” that had not even made a blip on the news. This is not about vaccines to save the world, perhaps ID2020 to control the world, but nobody gives a shit if we live or die. I have VERY GOOD sources and this has been about removing Trump BECAUSE they see him as the person stopping their dream of reconstructing the world economy to their New Green World Order. They will do absolutely everything they possibly can.
Fauci just told the senate people will die needlessly if we open up too soon. He is preaching the Gates Agenda to destroy the economy to rebuild this in their dream. Of course, all the left press is in on this coup. The New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC, are all conspiring to try to keep the country locked down to destroy as much as possible in hopes the people will overthrow Trump and then we will all openly accept mandatory vaccines from Bill Gates. I wonder how much it cost him to buy the whole bunch? Did he get a discount as a package deal? They have certainly turned against the people for a price.
We are in for the battle of our lives. They win and there will be little left that we will perhaps remember only in films if they do not burn them to hide history. They will NOT be successful in conquering the world. There is resistance rising globally. We will use Socrates to identify the safe havens.
This year, 2020, was our timing target. It was exactly 86 years to this decline and fall of the Roman Empire. 2020 is exactly 86 years from 1934 and the New Deal when they also confiscated gold. Welcome to the New Green Deal. They are back! This time they want a digital currency to control everything.
From all here at the Treehouse, we wish all mothers a wonderful day. Many of us have been blessed with mothers of the heart as well as the ones who gave birth to us. May God generously bless and keep them, every one.
Today we celebrate them, we pray for them, we give thanks to them and for them, and we are a little more confident in facing the challenges life brings us with their awesome power and knowledge behind us.
It would be hard to find a love more strong, more sacrificial, more unshakable than that of a mother for her child. Therefore, a mother, having no other choice, will never give up. She will keep loving, giving, praying, encouraging, pushing and shoving, and ablove all, she will never abandon faith, hope, and charity.
As we head into the end of this 51.6-year cycle which peaks in 2032, I have warned that historically, this is when we get the most tyrannical moves on the part of governments. They are losing power in a Private Wave and as such they become very aggressive. This is what super-charges markets during this last two 8.6-year waves so everything is on schedule.
Note that the wave which peaked in 1929 was also a Private Wave. Adolf Hitler was found guilty of treason and sentenced to five years in Landsberg Prison, where he dictated Mein Kampf to his fellow prisoners Emil Maurice and Rudolf Hess. On December 20th, 1924, having served only nine months, Hitler was released. This came during the last two waves and was the rise in civil discontent in Europe. The rise in socialism in the United States came at the midpoint of this Private Wave.
We are facing what I call a very dangerous Corporate-Political-Fascist Future. The Nazis burned books to prevent people from disagreeing with their philosophy. Here we have YouTube, Facebook, and other “social media” removing anything that also disagrees with their philosophy. CNN refuses to accept advertisements from Trump just out of sheer tyrannical hatred. This is all the very same Fascist state of mind, yet what I find really amazing, these people call Trump FASCIST, which it is their actions which are suppressing free speech in the very same identical manner as the Nazi movement although their goals may not be to create some Aryan race, just to help reduce the population indiscriminately.
With the corporations lining up to help create tracing-apps for this pretend Global Heath Threat which is less that 1/10th of one percent, we are entering into a diabolical partnership where our future is being threatened and that of our families by a new type of Corporate-Political-Fascism that has never before been witnessed on such a grand scale. Hitler’s “Thousand Year Reich” lasted only twelve years before getting destroyed. Still, Germany was one of the world’s leading economies, which meant that many companies were more than happy to do business with the Nazis. We have entered that same unholy type of partnership and this is very unsettling. Some companies just line-up gleefully to help tyranny.
No doubt, those in the technology world assisting governments to be able to track every person are too blinded by the money to look beyond that to a new world they are helping to create. This becomes a sad day for our basic human and civil rights. The markets are our only guide, for as Socrates looks at some of these companies conspiring against the people, they do not look to be surviving their own decisions post-2022.
In January 2016, we published the start of the Revolutionary Cycle. We warned that this was due right here with the turn in the Economic Confidence Model – January 18, 2020. We should expect the markets to reflect this trend and this is where Socrates comes into play. It is the only such system monitoring everything and correlating it on a global scale. There are not enough analysts in the entire world to cover all the markets Socrates has been monitoring. This will be the only tool to identify where to turn to and where to run away from even on a company by company basis. This is NOT my personal opinion. There is no human intervention in writing any of these reports on over 1,000 instruments every day.
So while there are corporations eager to assist in the demise of our way of life joining the trend of fake news and Corporate-Political-Fascism partnership, Socrates is the counter-trend technology to expose their corruption and their demise.
President Donald Trump and first lady Melania recognized the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II Friday by laying a wreath at our nation’s memorial to the fallen.
The president and first lady traveled to the World War II Memorial on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. to commemorate Germany’s unconditional surrender and were joined – at a distance – by eight veterans of the war. The youngest 96 and the oldest 100, they had braved the threats of contracting coronavirus to join the president and first lady for the wreath laying ceremony.
A local pastor is walking dozens of miles to raise funds for the poor and hungry, many of whom have been created by the government’s COVID-19 economic lockdown. That’s a nice thing to do. But his own church in the Washington, D.C. area remains essentially closed, except for “private” displays of Christianity. Some of his parishioners entered into the church to fill the pews with pictures of the people who used to be there. That’s sad.
It is America 2020 and the police are showing up to arrest ministers of the Gospel – at least the few willing to challenge the modern-day Caesar.
Early Christians were willing to be imprisoned and killed for their faith. A popular Netflix show, “Better Call Saul,” is about a lawyer who represented a drug dealer. The early church has their own Saul. In the Acts of the Apostles, we learn about a persecutor of the early church named Saul who had a Damascus Road conversion after experiencing Christ and was also known as Paul the Apostle. The reading is that “something like scales fell from Saul’s eyes, and he could see again.”
With scales on their eyes, today’s Christians for the most part seem afraid to challenge secular authorities and various “executive orders” about how they should worship. They have resorted to drive-in or drive-by “worship services,” so they don’t get out of their cars. This is a dramatic perversion of Christ’s directive to give to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s. Caesar, the State, should not dictate to the churches. The State does not own the churches. But many Christians today act as if the government is in charge.
This country was born in a revolution over global taxes imposed by the King of England, as well as rejection of an official state-imposed national religion. Freedom of religion and of the press was supposed to be guaranteed in our First Amendment. Yet, as a result of the coronavirus, freedom of the press has been guaranteed and freedom of religion has not. Most pastors, preachers, and priests acquiesce to their government masters and their demands for empty pews.
On the national level, unfortunately, our elected representatives go along with the emergence of this totalitarian state. Attorney General William Barr has issued a memo on “Balancing Public Safety with the Preservation of Civil Rights,” which is too little too late. Our God-given rights are not to be sacrificed on the altar of what unelected “health experts” have to say abut how we live our lives.
We need more than a memo, Mr. Barr.
Conservative media fret over the Deep State’s frame-up of Lt. General Michael Flynn, Trump’s first national security advisor, and that was truly an outrage. But the rights of the people in general have been stripped away, too, for months. What they did to Flynn they are doing to all of us, in a much quicker time frame. As Elon Musk has commented, they have taken away our freedom and subjected us to a form of house arrest. He calls it “fascist.” It’s also communistic.
“FREE AMERICA NOW” he says. It’s time for our religious leaders to follow his example.
“Better Call Saul” is advice they should be given and take.
In the story of Saul, we are told that a light from heaven flashed and a voice said to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?” Saul asked, “Who are you, sir?” The voice replied, “I am Jesus whom you are persecuting. But rise; go into the city, and you will be told what to do.” William Barclay’s Daily Study Bible refers to this passage as “the most famous conversion story in history.” Barclay explains, “We must try as far as we can to enter into Paul’s mind. When we do, we will see that this is not a sudden conversion but a sudden surrender.” Eventually, the scales fell from his eyes.
Grass-roots Christians are crying out for leadership. President Trump recommends various on-line services every Sunday but this is really no substitute for the ability of people to worship at a church or synagogue of their choice.
At various locations around the country, pastors are rebelling in the name of Jesus Christ. Some are recommending that their parishioners practice social distancing and even to wear masks when they come to church. But that is not good enough for the mostly liberal governors in whose states where they live and their police forces which arrive with citations and arrest warrants.
We are seeing persecution of the Christian Church in America and too many conservative Christians are silent. Many pastors and preachers act like chickens, afraid of the secular authorities, and then act like sheep on the way to the slaughter.
Today, many pastors, preachers, and priests have been too quick to surrender to the State. They are blinded by the legal-sounding razzle-dazzle of “emergencies” and “executive orders,” with no basis in the Constitution. In Washington State, the situation is so bizarre that local authorities are providing beer and cigarettes (and until recently marijuana) to keep addicts in quarantine.
Marijuana has become the Soma of Brave New World, in order to keep the people satisfied.
For those who didn’t read the Aldous Huxley classic, Spark Notes provides this information: “Soma is a drug that is handed out for free to all the citizens of the World State. In small doses, soma makes people feel good. In large doses, it creates pleasant hallucinations and a sense of timelessness.”
I’m not saying our ministers are dope fiends. But if termination of religious services is not the tipping point, what about the cancellation of elections?
“The Democratic Presidential Primary rescheduled for June 23, 2020 has been cancelled” proclaims the New York State Board of Elections. A left-wing progressive group, the Institute for Public Accuracy (IPA), is protesting this decision as an exercise in one-man rule by New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. But where is the rest of America? Where are Republicans and independents rising up in protest?
Since our media enjoy protected status under various emergency or executive orders, they could care less. They will continue to swoon over Cuomo, who is assuming the role of pastor and care-giver. Never mind the state lawwhich relegated the elderly to coronavirus death camps known as nursing homes.
It’s time for America’s religious leaders to come out of the closet and gather together to save freedom—and lives—in America. What will it take for the scales to fall from their eyes? The freedom they save may be their own.
Earlier today President Trump and First Lady Melania participated in a tree planting ceremony in recognition of Arbor Day (ie. Earth Day). [Video & Transcript below]
.
[Transcript] – THE PRESIDENT: Hi, Mike. Hi. David, hi. Please, thank you. Everyone is very far away from each other. That’s good. We’re learning, right? Hi, Kevin. That’s really nice. Well, this is great to be here. And we’re doing something I love doing: planting trees. I’ve always loved it. And we get great trees.
The First Lady and I are very grateful to be here on the South Lawn of the White House as we celebrate the 50th annual Earth Day, National Park Week, and the upcoming Arbor Day. And that’s going to be — tell me, David?
SECRETARY BERNHARDT: Friday.
THE PRESIDENT: That’s right. Friday. Thank you.
As more than 180 nations around the world battle the vicious coronavirus, we continue to mourn the precious souls who have been lost — so sadly lost and so unnecessarily lost. It should’ve been stopped, and it should’ve been stopped right where it started. And everyone knows where it started. But in this time of trial, the beauty of springtime fills us with the peace and the hope of renewal.
We’re pleased to be joined by our great Vice President Mike Pence. Please, Mike, stand up. (Applause.) You have done such a great job on getting us open again. We’re opening again, Mike. It’s starting to move. A lot of states are in great shape and they’re starting to move it along.
And very importantly, Karen Pence, who has been so fantastic and done such a great job representing the country. Thank you, Karen. Beautiful job. (Applause.)
Also here are Secretaries David Bernhardt; Sonny Perdue; Administrator Wheeler — Andrew Wheeler, thank you; and Leader Kevin McCarthy. And what a job he has done. And good vote the other day, yesterday. That was good.
LEADER MCCARTHY: (Inaudible.)
THE PRESIDENT: How’s that — no, but previous to that. And when are you voting on the —
LEADER MCCARTHY: Thursday.
THE PRESIDENT: Thursday? Good. Is there — is that a guarantee or — there’s no guarantee.
LEADER MCCARTHY: (Inaudible.)
THE PRESIDENT: There’s never a guarantee when you’re dealing with people, right?
LEADER MCCARTHY: Yes, sir.
THE PRESIDENT: But anyway — but it’s in good shape, right? Yeah. Thank you, Kevin, very much.
On this special occasion, we are renewing our strong national commitment on conserving the wonder of God’s creation. One of the most important ways we uphold this tradition is by protecting our priceless national parks and our public lands. To support our all-out war against the virus, many of the places that we have here were temporarily closing. But we will — we will have them open quickly. As we said, we’re starting to open our country again.
Thanks to our significant progress against the invisible enemy, I am pleased to announce that, in line with my administration’s Guidelines for Opening Up America Again, we will begin to reopen our national parks and public lands for the American people to enjoy. So what is that? Now tell us about that, David.
SECRETARY BERNHARDT: We’ll roll out with the governors.
THE PRESIDENT: Right, roll out.
SECRETARY BERNHARDT: (Inaudible.)
THE PRESIDENT: Good.
SECRETARY BERNHARDT: We began to reopen facilities.
THE PRESIDENT: When will they start?
SECRETARY BERNHARDT: We’ll run right along the side of governors.
THE PRESIDENT: That’s great. Okay. That’s going to be very exciting. That’s going to be very exciting. You have a lot of land to open up too, don’t you, huh? People are going to be very happy.
On this Earth Day, we celebrate that America leads the world in environmental stewardship, which is so, so true. I see it. I see the love and devotion that so many people, like — David, like you give — and that we continue to have among the cleanest air and cleanest water anywhere on the planet Earth.
We’re also honoring our country’s heritage of conservation, including through the support of One Trillion Trees — and that’s the One Trillion Tree Initiative, which is a very big deal. We’ll be planting, over a period of time, one trillion trees. That’s a lot of trees, Kevin. How do we do that, huh? Do you have any ideas? (Laughs.)
LEADER MCCARTHY: Yes, sir, we do. We even have a bill.
THE PRESIDENT: That’s great. That’s great. That’s going to be exciting.
As a sign of our dedication, in a few moments, the First Lady and I will plant a maple tree right here on the South Lawn of the White House. Wherever the tree is — where is this tree now? That’s a beautiful straight trunk. That’s a triple-A tree. That’s great.
As our nation grows stronger and greater in the months and years to come — and we will. We will be bigger, better, stronger than ever before. You watch what’s happening. You see it happening already. There’s such spirit with the concept of the states starting to open. Such incredible spirit.
This tree will grow also and it will stand tall and beautiful. And the future generations will be looking at it, and they’ll say, “I wonder who planted that tree.” And we’ll say it was Kevin and David and Mike and Karen and a whole group of people. And we really appreciate it. But they’ll be admiring this tree and they’ll be admiring nine more trees. We’re planting 10 beautiful specimen trees. They’re specimens — all specimens. People may think that’s an exaggeration or that’s a Trump term; actually, they’re sold as specimens. And they cost more money, but they are better. I buy a lot of them.
And now I’d like to invite the Vice President up and Karen to say a few words, please. Thank you. (Applause.)
THE VICE PRESIDENT: Well, thank you, Mr. President. And it is a great honor for us to be here on the South Lawn with you and the First Lady, to be able to plant a tree of promise and a tree of hope.
I know we are here, in the midst of National Park Week, just few days before Arbor Day, on the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, to plant and commemorate this beautiful maple tree. But as you said, Mr. President, we also — we also gather at a time of great challenge in the life of our nation. But it’s a — it’s a time that the American people have met the challenge. And as you’ve observed, Mr. President, that with your leadership, the American people are — are beginning to step forward and states around the country are beginning to put into practice the Guidelines to Open Up America Again. And you’re a President who knows that America works when America is working.
And, on — on behalf of the entire White House Coronavirus Task Force, I can assure the American people that we’re going to work very closely with your governors every day to get America safely and responsibly back to work.
But today, with the planting of this tree, Mr. President, you also renew your commitment to preserve and protect and allow for the enjoyment of the vast natural resources of this nation.
I’ve often thought that the three pillars of American greatness are our faith, our freedom, and our vast natural resources. And today we celebrate that with the planting of this new tree. And we also celebrate it with a word from — from the Secretary that, at your direction, in the days ahead, we’ll work closely with governors to reopen our national parks so that the American people can enjoy the blessings of those — those extraordinary — those extraordinary places that our family has traveled to so many different times.
Mr. President, I can tell you that Karen and I have so many fond memories of — of loading up in the minivan, driving across the country, making our way to Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon and to Yosemite. And I know the American people are anxious to see us, on this Earth Day 2020, a few days from Arbor Day, they’re — they’re anxious to get back to enjoying all of those — those beautiful parks. And we’ll greatly welcome your direction.
And so we thank you for your leadership during this challenging time, Mr. President. We want to thank the First Lady for her extraordinary compassion and the way she supported American families throughout this ordeal. And I’m absolutely convinced that with your continued leadership, with the strong leadership that we’ve — we have at states across the country, with the cooperation of the American people, that our — our nation will be growing again soon, just like this beautiful maple will for many years to come.
So thank you, Mr. President. God bless you.
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much, Mike. Thank you very much. Kevin, would you come up and say a few words? And why don’t you stay right there, Mike? Perfect.
LEADER MCCARTHY: Mr. President, First Lady, and Vice President, Karen — our Second Lady: I want to thank you for your work. I want to thank you for your commitment for the health and safety of every human.
Today, we’re witnessing the planting of the tree of the hope and dream that we know tomorrow will be better than today, that the Earth will be stronger with our health tomorrow than it was today.
This is the first of 1 trillion trees that will be planted around the world. Trees are the lungs of the Earth. They inhale carbon dioxide and they exhale oxygen. When 1 trillion trees are planted around this Earth, that will remove the equivalent of two thirds of all manmade carbon dioxide — or of all carbon — since the Industrial Revolution until today.
So as you continue to work for the health of every human, you show today you are working to make sure the health is even greater with this Earth. So I congratulate you on this. And the first of 1 trillion just proves that America will lead the way in every industry, in every part, making it environmentally sound and common sense, but also lead the world in an opportunity that tomorrow will be better.
Thank you.
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you, Kevin. That’s beautiful. Thank you. He gave a lot of facts that a lot of people didn’t know, including me. I thought that — I just spoke with our great First Lady, and she said, “You know, it’d be wonderful for Karen Pence to say a few words.
People have no idea the incredible job Karen Pence does representing this nation. Everybody loves her. She’s special in every way. And, Karen, I’d like to have you say a few words, please. You — she didn’t know this, but I’d like — (laughter and applause).
THE SECOND LADY: Thank you, Mr. President. I — I do cherish the opportunity to speak because David and I were just talking about, while this tree makes the Earth better and stronger — we talked a lot about mental health. And that’s an issue that I know the First Lady has been dealing with her whole time that she’s been First Lady. But I just started doing a little bit with PREVENTS.
And we do want people to understand that, during this crisis, we need to also mitigate the effects that — on our mental health. And so we ask people to watch out for yourself, check in with yourself every day, check in with those you love. If there’s something that you like to do — for me, it’s painting; maybe it’s gardening, maybe it’s reading or cooking — we ask people to schedule that into your day so that you have a little bit of time that’s just for you each day. And then we also ask that you talk about the struggles, but also talk about the successes.
So as you have kids who are struggling with not having their graduation ceremony, or they’re not being able to go out and play sports, or they’re missing their friends or their teachers, it’s important to talk with them and let them get those issues out. But also talk about the successes, some of the great things that are happening while we’re having to stay at home — things you’re learning about your family, games you’re starting to play that maybe you didn’t play before.
And then, last of all, if you’re worried about somebody or you’re worried about yourself, please reach out. If you go to Facebook.com/WeArePREVENTS, there’s so much help out there. We don’t want anybody to feel like there isn’t help, because it’s okay to say, “I’m not okay.”
Thank you. (Applause.)
THE PRESIDENT: That was very nice. Thank you, Karen. Wow.
THE VICE PRESIDENT: That was great.
THE PRESIDENT: That was beautiful.
So, Mike, let’s go over and do it.
THE VICE PRESIDENT: Okay.
THE PRESIDENT: Okay? We’re ready?
