Topic: Memorial Trees

Rod Engleman provides a final morning update on the Oklahoma City bombing, reporting six confirmed deaths of children and 90 injuries. He pushes back against media attempts to link the bombing to the people at Mount Carmel before adjourning the morning session for a break and the afternoon tree-planting ceremony.

Survivor Catherine Matteson provides Steve Lane of The Freedom Report with a tour of the Mount Carmel site. She identifies the locations of former houses and a memorial grove where trees are planted for each victim. Matteson recounts her experience during the initial ATF attack and the refusal of federal agents to allow the Davidians to retrieve their wounded.

Catherine Madison leads a tour of the Mount Carmel site, pointing out memorial trees planted for those who died in the fire. She recounts her experience inside the house during the initial ATF attack and describes the demolition of a secondary building eight miles away. Madison alleges that the ATF used sharpshooters and rammed doors despite residents offering keys to the property.

The survivors describe the intentional desolation of the Mount Carmel grounds, where topsoil was scraped away and trees were uprooted. They mention planting memorial trees for each victim, though they distance themselves from various signs and donation boxes placed by outsiders. A discussion occurs regarding a flag flown at the compound, which they clarify was not an Israeli flag but a representation of a "flying seraph" from Isaiah 6.

Ophelia Santoyo expresses a deep distrust of television news, stating that reporters often twist the words of survivors during interviews. She is seen weeding the area around the memorial trees in preparation for the April 19 anniversary. The segment concludes with praise for Alex Jones, who at age 26 is credited with organizing the church rebuilding effort as a victory against the "New World Order."
