As Georgia Governor Brian Kemp announces the reopening of various sectors of the state economy, perhaps a rather obvious point needs to be highlighted….
There are few high-traffic businesses more densely populated than grocery stores. In fact, within the U.S. economy retail supermarkets have the highest foot traffic of any business sector in the entire economy; that’s just an empirical fact…. and the coronavirus impact increased that foot traffic by an average of 40 percent. Now, stop and think about this logically & apply a large dose of common sense. Think about human-to-human interface.
♦First, with approximately 90 percent of the total U.S. population penetrating through grocery outlets; and with 100% of that massive number of consumers going through checkout lanes; if the COVID-19 viral strain was as significant as claimed by the worst-case data, then supermarket cashiers would have been the highest exposed profession of U.S. workers in the entire nation. There wouldn’t even be a close second place.
Considering that metric; and considering the overall population penetration & density within the business operation; there has not been an employee-based business disruption due to the coronavirus. Put another way: the coronavirus has not stopped the function of the highest human interface occupation in the entire U.S. economy.
♦Secondly, think about the businesses that are closed; perhaps think about your job that may have been shut down…. now frame your risk based on the supermarket example as highest human interface and highest population penetration in any business field.
If the #1 at risk industry has operated, essentially without disruption and with almost zero substantive mitigation, while carrying the largest population exposure rate, then all other less-exposed business operations would have significantly less operational risk.
Why would anyone be concerned about opening their business?
If you take the factual outcome of the retail food industry as a measure, it would follow that other than a few proximity businesses which may need prudent modifications or remain temporarily closed (ex. modified airplane seating, concerts, stadiums or capacity seating venues etc), then all other businesses should immediately resume operations.
No other business segment within the economy is as exposed to the population as the retail food business; and yet supermarkets operated without issue.
So why shouldn’t all businesses immediately get back to work?
Perhaps a few initial modifications might be needed; but not much, and not for long.
Think about it….
GEORGIA – Gov. Brian Kemp announced on Monday a series of social distancing guidelines that will allow businesses such as gyms, hair salons, tattoo parlors, and bowling alleys to reopen on Friday. By next week, movie theaters will be allowed to start showing films, and restaurants will be allowed to have limited dine-in service options in addition to the takeout orders they had been limited to before the order. “In the same way that we carefully closed businesses and urged operations to end to mitigate the virus’s spread, today we’re announcing plans to incrementally and safely reopen sectors of our economy,” Kemp said.

Comrades, senators within the United States government have proposed a terrific scheme to force taxpayers to fund their own confinement. According to the plan $500 billion will be provided to state and local officials in an effort to offset lost revenue as a result of keeping citizens under house arrest. Under the remarkable plan, taxpayers will now be paying for their own confinement.
Under the proposal, citizens who are not permitted to work; and who cannot leave the confinement of their homes or residence to earn a living; are now going to be compelled by the authority of the government, to pay the continued salaries of government workers.
Meanwhile, in a brilliant twist to benefit the State, as a result of their dictatorial power there is no currently functioning system of representation for any citizen to petition their unwarranted house-arrest. You just can’t make this stuff up folks… unfortunately.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A U.S. Senate Republican and a Democrat proposed a $500 billion rescue package for state and municipal governments on Monday, as it became increasingly clear that the next coronavirus relief bill will not include money for reeling local authorities.
[…] Bill Cassidy (R), of Louisiana, and New Jersey Democrat Bob Menendez, who represent two of the states hit hardest by the pandemic, said their bill would allocate money based on states’ populations, infection rates and revenue losses in order to ensure that money goes where it is needed most. […] State governors and local officials across the United States have been pleading for more federal aid to provide essential services, as Americans stay home and businesses have closed because of the coronavirus outbreak.

The latest effort by authoritarian-minded state governor should not come as a surprise. These are overwhelmingly blue state (democrat) governors. It is important to keep in mind the ‘stay-at-home’ and other restrictions on liberty are not laws per se’, they are orders by state governors. The authoritarian request to block protest organizing on social media is an extension of the state’s ideological perspectives. Freedom is a tenuous proposition.
All of the various restrictions coming from state governors in response to the COVID-19 do not come from State House and/or State Senate decisions. These are not laws.
The rules restricting liberty, in response to the crisis, have been pronounced without any representative voice supporting them. All of the rules are arbitrary, and many of these rules will be challenged in court.

Currently, there is no way for an citizen to appeal to a representative voice against the decrees from a state governor; other than a public protest….

Oh dear, the knucklehead is strong with this one. During a briefing earlier today Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer compared the COVID-19 battle to World War II and asked the citizens of her state why they were not protesting state orders during the war? Yes, she actually said this:
“In World War II, there weren’t people lining up at the capitol to protest the fact that they had to drop everything they were doing and build planes or tanks, or to ration food.”
Does anyone want to tell Whitmer the difference is during the war effort people were working and getting paid; but under her unilateral decrees people are forbidden from working and no-one is earning a living…. Which is the entire reason for the protests, DUH.

theconservativetreehouse--2020-04-22--Enough Already – A Legally Conflicted Senate Intel Committee Presents Another Defense of Intelligenc

Enough Already – A Legally Conflicted Senate Intel Committee Presents Another Defense of Intelligence Corruption…

Foolishness and betrayal of our country have served to reveal dangers within our present condition .
Misplaced corrective action , regardless of intent , is neither safe nor wise .
The intelligence apparatus was weaponized against our candidate by those who controlled the levers of government .
That said , today ’ s SSCI defense of political corruption is infuriating .
To understand what is taking place within the Mark Warner and Richard Burr report it is worthwhile revisiting the 2014 House Intelligence report by Mike Rogers and Dutch Ruppersberger which was presented in defense of severe corruption in/around Benghazi @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a cover-up operation intended to defend their own interests and involvement in the CIA/State Dept .
operation in Libya .
Only after the 2014 report was it discovered that republican Mike Roger ’ s wife was actually connected to the illegal arms sales in Libya .
Therein was the motive and conflict .
Similarly , today ’ s Senate Intelligence report from Mark Warner and Richard Burr , defending the construct of the ICA , is itself intended to cover their own involvement in the CIA/FBI corruption against candidate , and President , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ complicit activity is within the story of SSCI security Director James Wolfe , and how the DOJ covered-up the FISA leak in order to cover-up institutional SSCI corruption .
You can read today ’ s SSCI report HERE – With PDF HERE – In essence the report attempts to validate the Obama administration ’ s intelligence effort surrounding the Intelligence Community Assessment or ICA [ Authors : John Brennan , James Comey , James Clapper and to a lesser extend NSA Director Mike Rogers ] , and support the conclusions of Russian attempts @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It ’ s all nonsense .
The ICA is a political document constructed in January 2017 to assist the cover-up operation surrounding the surveillance of Donald Trump , and push forth a narrative that Russia interfered in the election .
The ICA is a lie for political intents .
However , there ’ s a bigger issue here… .
A much bigger issue that explains how and why this continued cover-up is being maintained .
If you are familiar with the James Wolfe story you know that in 2018 the DOJ under Rod @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the leaking of the Carter Page FISA application in March 2017 because any prosecution for leaking classified intelligence would have also captured the Senate Intelligence Committee and their participation .
In the summer of 2018 Attorney General Jeff Session was recused , Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein was in charge and the Mueller investigation was ongoing .
That was when the DOJ made a decision not to prosecute Wolfe for leaking classified information .
Later in the year DC U.S. Attorney Jessie Liu signed-off on a plea deal where Wolfe plead guilty to only @ @ @ @ @ @ @ FBI .
If the DOJ had pursued the case against Wolfe for leaking the FISA application , everything would have been different .
The American electorate would have seen evidence of what was taking place in the background effort to remove President Trump .
We would be in an entirely different place today if that prosecution or trial had taken place .
EVENT ONE – On February 9th , 2018 , the media reported on text messages from 2017 between Senate Intelligence Committee Vice-Chairman Mark Warner and Chris Steele ’ s lawyer , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ TWO – Four months after the Mark Warner texts were made public , on June 8th , 2018 , another headline story surfaced .
An indictment for Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Security Director James Wolfe was unsealed on June 7th , 2018 .
EVENT THREE – Slightly less than two months after release of the Wolfe indictment , another headline story .
On July 21st , 2018 , the DOJ/FBI declassified and publicly released the FISA application ( s ) used against former Trump campaign advisor Carter Page .
♦ Later on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ public release confirmed everything .
The FBI filed a sentencing recommendation proving it was the Carter Page FISA that was leaked by Wolfe : HINDSIGHT – What we didn ’ t know at the time , simultaneous to the decision-making regarding Wolfe , was another ( a second ) DOJ cover-up effort was taking place surrounding the origin of the Russia-collusion fraud .
Amid a series of documents recently released by the Senate Judiciary Committee [ SEE HERE ] there is a rather alarming letter from the DOJ to the FISA Court in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ institutional cover-up .
[ Link to Letter ] The letter was sent by the DOJ-NSD to the FISA Court on July 12 , 2018 .
The DOJ is telling the court in July 2018 : based on what they know the FISA application still contains “ sufficient predication for the Court to have found probable cause ” to approve the application .
The 2018 DOJ is defending the Carter Page FISA application as still valid .
This is an incredibly misleading statement to the FISA court because what the letter doesn ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , also known in the IG report as the “ primary sub-source ” , informed the FBI that the material attributed to him in the dossier was essentially junk .
The DOJ-NSD says the sub-source was “ truthful and cooperative ” but the DOJ doesn ’ t tell the court the content of the truthfulness and cooperation .
Why ?
By July 2018 the DOJ clearly knew the dossier was full of fabrications , yet they withheld that information from the court and said the predicate was still valid .
Why ?
All @ @ @ @ @ @ @ merged within the need to save the institutions of government from sunlight upon the extent of the corruption within them .
That is why the DOJ made the decision to bury the SSCI leak of the FISA application in June/July of 2018 .
That is also why the same DOJ , at the same time , made the decision to mislead the FISA court about the credibility of the evidence within the FISA application .
Robert Mueller ’ s special counsel was ongoing when all of these corrupt DOJ/FBI decisions were taking place @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the DOJ and FBI to cover-up massive institutional corruption while President Trump was in office ; and while the intent of that corruption was to remove President Trump from office .
Allow me to frustratingly re-fucking-empasize… These decisions are in 2018 .
Jeff Sessions was Attorney General , Rod Rosenstein was Deputy AG ; Christopher Wray was FBI Director , David Bowditch is Deputy , and Dana Boente was FBI chief-legal-counsel.. this letter to the court was written by AAG John Demers .
Wray , Bowditch , Boente and Demers are still employed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as corruption managers .
They may not be adding to the corruption , but the fact remains they are doing nothing to address the scale and severity of the corrupt activity that was taking place .
Knowing this , why wouldn ’ t corrupt participants SSCI Chairman Richard Burr and vice-chair Mark Warner exploit the priorities of the DOJ for their own preservation ?
Bill Barr wants to preserve the institutions .
Burr and Warner can hide behind the shield of that priority .
That ’ s why they can write this ridiculously @ @ @ @ @ @ @ intelligence community assessment and carry no fear of exposure for doing it .
What we can see from all DOJ operations is an intentional effort by Main Justice not to expose the epicenter of a multi-branch effort against the White House .
Senator Burr and Warner are hiding behind that ongoing DOJ intent .

The Backstory on the Wolfe Cover-up .
The declassification showing the 2018 DOJ and FBI cover-up

Foolishness and betrayal of our country have served to reveal dangers within our present condition. Misplaced corrective action, regardless of intent, is neither safe nor wise. The intelligence apparatus was weaponized against our candidate by those who controlled the levers of government. That said, today’s SSCI defense of political corruption is infuriating.
To understand what is taking place within the Mark Warner and Richard Burr report it is worthwhile revisiting the 2014 House Intelligence report by Mike Rogers and Dutch Ruppersberger which was presented in defense of severe corruption in/around Benghazi.
The HPSCI report from Rogers-Ruppersberger was a cover-up operation intended to defend their own interests and involvement in the CIA/State Dept. operation in Libya. Only after the 2014 report was it discovered that republican Mike Roger’s wife was actually connected to the illegal arms sales in Libya. Therein was the motive and conflict.
Similarly, today’s Senate Intelligence report from Mark Warner and Richard Burr, defending the construct of the ICA, is itself intended to cover their own involvement in the CIA/FBI corruption against candidate, and President, Donald Trump. The evidence of their complicit activity is within the story of SSCI security Director James Wolfe, and how the DOJ covered-up the FISA leak in order to cover-up institutional SSCI corruption.
You can read today’s SSCI report HERE – With PDF HERE – In essence the report attempts to validate the Obama administration’s intelligence effort surrounding the Intelligence Community Assessment or ICA [Authors: John Brennan, James Comey, James Clapper and to a lesser extent NSA Director Mike Rogers], and support the conclusions of Russian attempts to interfere in the 2016 election.
It’s all nonsense. The ICA is a political document constructed in January 2017 to assist the cover-up operation surrounding the surveillance of Donald Trump, and push forth a narrative that Russia interfered in the election. The ICA is a lie for political intents.
However, there’s a bigger issue here…. A much bigger issue that explains how and why this continued cover-up is being maintained.
If you are familiar with the James Wolfe story you know that in 2018 the DOJ under Rod Rosenstein purposefully made the decision to hide the leaking of the Carter Page FISA application in March 2017 because any prosecution for leaking classified intelligence would have also captured the Senate Intelligence Committee and their participation.
In the summer of 2018 Attorney General Jeff Sessions was recused, Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein was in charge and the Mueller investigation was ongoing. That was when the DOJ made a decision not to prosecute Wolfe for leaking classified information. Later in the year DC U.S. Attorney Jessie Liu signed-off on a plea deal where Wolfe plead guilty to only a single count of lying to the FBI.
If the DOJ had pursued the case against Wolfe for leaking the FISA application, everything would have been different. The American electorate would have seen evidence of what was taking place in the background effort to remove President Trump. We would be in an entirely different place today if that prosecution or trial had taken place.
Three 2018 events revealed the Wolfe issue:
EVENT ONE – On February 9th, 2018, the media reported on text messages from 2017 between Senate Intelligence Committee Vice-Chairman Mark Warner and Chris Steele’s lawyer, a lobbyist named Adam Waldman.
EVENT TWO – Four months after the Mark Warner texts were made public, on June 8th, 2018, another headline story surfaced. An indictment for Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Security Director James Wolfe was unsealed on June 7th, 2018.
EVENT THREE – Slightly less than two months after release of the Wolfe indictment, another headline story. On July 21st, 2018, the DOJ/FBI declassified and publicly released the FISA application(s) used against former Trump campaign advisor Carter Page.
♦ Later on December 14th 2018 a fourth albeit buried public release confirmed everything. The FBI filed a sentencing recommendation proving it was the Carter Page FISA that was leaked by Wolfe:
HINDSIGHT – What we didn’t know at the time, simultaneous to the decision-making regarding Wolfe, was another (a second) DOJ cover-up effort was taking place surrounding the origin of the Russia-collusion fraud.
Amid a series of documents recently released by the Senate Judiciary Committee [SEE HERE] there is a rather alarming letter from the DOJ to the FISA Court in July 2018 that also points toward an institutional cover-up. [Link to Letter]
The letter was sent by the DOJ-NSD to the FISA Court on July 12, 2018. The DOJ is telling the court in July 2018: based on what they know the FISA application still contains “sufficient predication for the Court to have found probable cause” to approve the application. The 2018 DOJ is defending the Carter Page FISA application as still valid.
This is an incredibly misleading statement to the FISA court because what the letter doesn’t say is that 18-months earlier the sub-source, also known in the IG report as the “primary sub-source”, informed the FBI that the material attributed to him in the dossier was essentially junk. The DOJ-NSD says the sub-source was “truthful and cooperative” but the DOJ doesn’t tell the court the content of the truthfulness and cooperation. Why?
By July 2018 the DOJ clearly knew the dossier was full of fabrications, yet they withheld that information from the court and said the predicate was still valid. Why?
Institutional preservation.
All of the activities by corrupt actors are merged within the need to save the institutions of government from sunlight upon the extent of the corruption within them. That is why the DOJ made the decision to bury the SSCI leak of the FISA application in June/July of 2018. That is also why the same DOJ, at the same time, made the decision to mislead the FISA court about the credibility of the evidence within the FISA application.
Robert Mueller’s special counsel was ongoing when all of these corrupt DOJ/FBI decisions were taking place. These are decisions being made by the DOJ and FBI to cover-up massive institutional corruption while President Trump was in office; and while the intent of that corruption was to remove President Trump from office.
Allow me to frustratingly re-fucking-empasize… These decisions are in 2018.
Jeff Sessions was Attorney General, Rod Rosenstein was Deputy AG; Christopher Wray was FBI Director, David Bowditch is Deputy, and Dana Boente was FBI chief-legal-counsel.. this letter to the court was written by AAG John Demers.
Wray, Bowditch, Boente and Demers are still employed, still working, and still participating as corruption managers. They may not be adding to the corruption, but the fact remains they are doing nothing to address the scale and severity of the corrupt activity that was taking place.
Knowing this, why wouldn’t corrupt participants SSCI Chairman Richard Burr and vice-chair Mark Warner exploit the priorities of the DOJ for their own preservation?
Bill Barr wants to preserve the institutions. Burr and Warner can hide behind the shield of that priority. That’s why they can write this ridiculously false and slanted defense of the 2017 intelligence community assessment and carry no fear of exposure for doing it.
It’s all FUBAR.
What we can see from all DOJ operations is an intentional effort by Main Justice not to expose the epicenter of a multi-branch effort against the White House. Senator Burr and Warner are hiding behind that ongoing DOJ intent.
The decisions in the Wolfe case are critical. That’s the fork in the road. If the Wolfe prosecution had continued it would have undoubtedly surfaced that key government officials and politicians were working together (executive and legislative).
The ramifications of the Wolfe case were/are stunning. Had the prosecution continued it’s very likely a seditious conspiracy would have surfaced.
♦ I often field a question: If you know this; if all of this information is in the public sphere; then why didn’t any member of the media cover it?
Here’s the answer: They can’t…. At least they cannot cover it and still retain all of the claims they had been making since March 2017 when journalist Ali Watkins gained a fully non-redacted copy of the Carter Page FISA application and first renewal.
Politico, The New York Times, CNN, MSNBC and The Washington Post are all implicated in the James Wolfe leak to Ali Watkins. They had the FISA information since March 2017, yet those media outlets were disingenuously falsifying their reporting on the actual content of the FISA application despite their actual knowledge.
Remember all of the media denials about what Devin Nunes wrote in the “Nunes memo”? Remember the media proclaiming the Steele Dossier was not part of the FISA application?
How was the media fifteen months later (July 2018) going to report on the Wolfe leak to Watkins without admitting they had been manufacturing stories about its content for the past year-and-a-half?
It was in the media’s interest NOT to cover, or dig into, the Wolfe story.
Additionally, from both the DOJ and Media perspective, coverage of the Wolfe leak would prove the senate intel committee (SSCI) was, at a minimum, a participating entity in the coup effort. That same SSCI is responsible for oversight over the CIA, FBI, DOJ-NSD, ODNI, DNI, and all intelligence agencies.
Worse yet, all officers within those agencies require confirmation from the SSCI (including Chair and Vice-Chair); and any discussion of the Wolfe leak would highlight the motive for ongoing corruption within the SSCI in blocking those nominations (see John Ratcliffe).
Stunning ramifications.
There was a clear 2018 fork in the road and the DOJ took the path toward a cover-up; which, considering what the DOJ was simultaneously doing with Mueller, and the EDVA regarding Assange, and the lies to the FISA court, is not entirely surprising.
Was that decision wrong? Oh hell yes, it was corrupt as heck. .
Were the decisions done with forethought to coverup gross abuses of government? Yes.
Where the DOJ is today in 2020 is directly connected to the decisions the DOJ made in 2017 and 2018 to protect themselves and internally corrupt actors from discovery.
It is often said: “the coverup is always worse than the crime.” This is never more true than with these examples, because where we are today… now miles down the path of consequence from those corrupt decisions… is seemingly disconnected from the ability of any institutional recovery. That’s now the issue for Bill Barr.
The challenge for Attorney General Bill Barr is not investigating what we don’t know, but rather navigating through what ‘We The People’ are already aware of…. And then finding a way to protect the institutions of the DOJ and FBI while getting people to stop demanding action to address the corruption within them.
AG Bill Barr has to keep feeding the purveyors of investigative hope-porn as a method to keep the pitchforks at bay, while simultaneously trying to figure out how he can preserve the institutions. Remember, the DC system operates on an entirely different legal principle when it comes to internal investigations within the bubble.
As a result we get AG Barr saying “if John Durham can find evidence of criminal conduct”; where “criminal” in DC is defined around a DC-exclusive legal theory of “intent” that doesn’t apply anywhere else in the country. [examples: see Hillary Clinton; or see IG Horowitz saying he couldn’t find intent.]
Think about the argument: Are we debating what lies behind redactions on current DOJ documents from the AG Bill Barr agency; and simultaneously believing that AG Bill Barr is going to deliver some form of justice from inside the institution of the DOJ?
The Bill Barr Dept. of Justice is currently engaged in an ongoing effort to cover/redact details that are embarrassing to the institutions; but the same Bill Barr Dept. of Justice is going to prosecute those who embarrassed the institutions?…
FUBAR!

Commissar Bill de Blasio is not pleased with the early results from the New York City Ministry of COVID Compliance ‘snitch on your neighbor’ text message alert system.
According to the compliance dispatchers who operate the 311 program [311-692] one presumed subversive sent an alert of Commissar de Blasio while providing photographic evidence of the mayor violating social distancing via fellatio in an alley next to a convenience store.
Through the comprehensive review process, that specific text message alert was intercepted by dispatchers before being sent to compliance officers for investigation. However, there are many more alerts of a similar nature.
As a result of what appears to be an underground network of subversive citizens; and due to an overwhelmingly coordinated effort to disrupt the intent of the effort; the snitch-alert system had to be temporarily taken down and purged. The NYC Ministry of compliance would like to inform all citizens the snitch alert system is now reactivated. Good citizens can once again text any subversive activity to 311-692 including pictures of infractions.

However, in the background; and with Fauci’s crew working on the Bill Gates objective for global COVID-19 vaccinations; the NIH today recommends against any treatment for the coronavirus using a hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin cocktail.
(VIA NPR) A panel of experts convened by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases recommends against doctors using a combination of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin for the treatment of COVID-19 patients because of potential toxicities.
“The combination of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin was associated with QTc prolongation in patients with COVID-19,” the panel said. QTc prolongation increases the risk of sudden cardiac death. The recommendation against their combined use would seem to fly in the face of comments made by President Trump suggesting the combination might be helpful. (read more)

I know we are here , in the midst of National Park Week , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 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 .

And as you ’ ve observed , Mr. President , that with your leadership , the American people are — are beginning to step forward and states around the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 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 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 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 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 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 .

I want to thank you for your commitment for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
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 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 .

He gave a lot of facts that a lot of people didn ’ t know , including me .

People have no idea the incredible job Karen Pence does representing this nation .
Everybody loves her .
She ’ s special in every way .
And , Karen , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 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 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
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 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 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 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 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 .

[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.

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.

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.

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.
