REPORTER: 115 CARDINALS WILL

GATHER IN THE SISTINE CHAPEL TO

DECISION OF HIS LIFE.

THERE IS A SENSE THAT THE

CATHOLIC CHURCH IS AT A CROSS

ROADS AND ELECTION OF A NEW POPE

MAY SET A NEW TONE FOR YEARS TO

COME.

TONE OF THE PAPACY IS WHERE

THE POPE IS FROM AND WHAT HIS

STRENGTHS ARE.

WHAT WE HOPE AND PRAY FOR A POPE

AS PAUL SAID IN 2 CORINTHIANS 5

5:20 WHO IS AN AMBASSADOR OF

CHRIST.

ALWAYS IN MIND I AM GOING TO

DO NOW, SOMETHING, WHICH WILL

NOT JUST AFFECT MY LIFE BUT THE

BRAND NEW GOAL WITH YOUR

BALLOT PAPER, HOLD IT UP IN

THE LORD, JESUS, WHO WILL BE MY

VATICAN CITY, ROME.

DEBATING

HOW TO

SPEND YOUR

TAX

DOLLARS, LEE WEB HAS THAT STORY.

REPORTER: PAT, HOUSE

REPUBLICANS SAY THEY CAN GET RID

OF THE FEDERAL DEFICIT IN 10

YEARS.

PAUL STRAND SAYS

THE

NEW

PLAN

KEEPS SPENDING GROWING AT A

SLOWER RATE.

THE GOP PLAN WILL HELP THE

ECONOMY GROW AND BRING MORE TAX

MONEY INTO WASHINGTON AND REPEAL

'OBAMACARE' AND CUT SPENDING IN

OTHER PLACES.

WHITE HOUSE IS NOT LIKELY TO GO

ALONG WITH THE PLAN.

THE PLAN WAS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN

FEBRUARY 4TH.

MAY NOT BE OUT UNTIL NEXT MONTH.

PAT, WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT

RYAN'S PLAN?

PAT: I THINK IT IS A GOOD

ONE.

HE IS AN INTELLIGENT MAN.

HE IS TRYING TO GET IT UNDER

CONTROL.

PRESIDENT AND HIS ALLIES DON'T

WANT TO TOUCH ANY OF THEIR

SACRED COWS.

YOU LOOK AT THE ENORMOUS WASTE

AND CRAZY THINGS THEY ARE

SPENDING MONEY ON.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU GUYS?

ANY BUSINESS FOUND ITSELF

RIDDLED WITH CORRUPTION AND

WASTE AND FRAUD WOULD SAY WE

HAVE TO TIGHTEN UP.

ONLY CONCERN THEY HAVE IS THE

NEXT ELECTION.

SENATOR CLAIR MCCASKILL SAYS SHE

RECEIVED A PAT DOWN AS SHE

BOARDED A FLIGHT.

SHE SENT OUT A MESSAGE SAYING

TODAY IN MY AIRPORT SCREENING,

TESTS ON MY HANDS WAS POSITIVE.

I HAVE PAT DOWNS CONSTANTLY, I

HAVE A METAL KNEE.

FOR CONGRESS.

I SHOULD BE TREATED LIKE ANYONE

ELSE.

MISSOURI DEMOCRAT HAS BEEN

CRITICAL OF TSA PROCEDURES.

PAT?

REPORT

PAT: THAT OUTFIT IS OUT OF

CONTROL.

IT IS OUTRAGEOUS WHAT THEY DO.

THE SENATOR, THEY WERE GROPING

THEIR PRIVATE PARTS, OUTRAGEOUS,

TERRY, OUTRAGEOUS WHAT THEY ARE

DOING.

TERRY: I WAS TRAVELING WITH

MY SISTER.

SHE WAS FLYING TO MEET ME.

THERE WAS AN ELDERLY COUPLE.

TRAVELS BECOME CONFUSED.

THEY WERE TAKEN TO THE SIDE,

BAGS SERP SEARCHED.

THESE ARE NOT PEOPLE DOING

ANYTHING BUT TRAVELING.

SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE.

PAT: ISRAELIS HAVE A

SOPHISTICATED WAY OF SCREENING.

THEY KNOW WHO THEY ARE DEALING

WITH.

COUPLE OF ELDERLY TOURIST GOING

TO VISIT GRANDCHILDREN, THEY ARE

NOT THREATS.

IF WE FIRED HALF OF THE TSA

AGENTS THEY DON'T DO ANYTHING

OKAY.

TERRY: I AM WITH IT.

PAT: ONE DOWN FOR MAYOR,

NANNY STATE BLOOMBERG.

LEE, I AM SURE THAT MEANS NOW

YOU CAN GO TO NEW YORK AND HAVE

THE BIGGEST GULP OF COKE YOU CAN

IMAGINE.

REPORTER: IF I SO, CHOOSE,

THAT'S RIGHT.

NEW YORK CITY BAN ON SUGARY

DRINKS WILL NOT AGREE.

A JUDGE CALLED IT ARBITRARY AND

CAPRICIOUS.

RESTAURANT OWNERS ARE CALLING IT

A VICTORY.

THE MAYOR SAYS IT IS A START

AGAINST HIS FIGHT OF OBESITY AND

PLANS TO APPEAL.

EPHRAIM GRAHAM HAS THE STORY.

IN THE END THE COURTS WILL

REGULATE THE SALE OF SUGARY

BEVERAGES LEADING TO DISEASE AND

DEATH FOR THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE.

REPORTER: MAYOR MICHAEL

BLOOMBERG SAYS THE CITY WILL

APPEAL THE SUPREME COURT'S

DECISION TO STRIKE DOWN HIS BAN

ON SUGARY DRINKS.

THERE ARE MANY, MANY

INSTANCES WHERE IT IS REVERSED.

REPORTER: BANNING SELLING 16

OUNCES OF SODA.

THE JUDGE NOTED THE BAN APPLIED

TO SOME ESTABLISHMENTS AND

EXCLUDED SOME BEVERAGES WITH

HIGHER CONCENTRATIONS OF SUGAR

AND THE LOOPHOLES DEFEAT THE

PURPOSE OF THE RULE.

LAST MINUTE RULING IS A RELIEF

TO THOUSANDS OF SMALL BUSINESS

OWNERS IN NEW YORK CITY

SCRAMBLING TO COMPLY WITH THE

LAW.

THEY SAY THE BAN WAS HURTING

THEIR BOTTOM LINE.

IT COSTS US EXTRA GLASSWARE

AND LABOR.

WE HAD TO SIT DOWN AND THINK AND

REPRINT MENUS.

REPORTER:

FOR NOW

THE SUPER

SIZED DRINKS STILL AVAILABLE IN

THE BIG APPLE AND MANY NEW

YORKERS SAY THAT IS THE WAY IT

SHOULD STAY.

I THINK THEY GO TOO FAR.

PEOPLE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO EAT

AND DRINK WHAT THEY WANT.

ASKING THE GOVERNMENT TO

PROTECT US FROM LARGE COKES IS

BEYOND WHAT THE GOVERNMENT

SHOULD DO.

EDUCATION SHOULD BE OUT THERE

WHAT SODA DOES.

IT IS MORE IMPORTANT THAT TAKING

PEOPLE'S RIGHTS AWAY.

EPHRAIM GRAHAM, CBN NEWS.

REPORTER: PAT, PEOPLE ON THE

STREETS OF NEW YORK AS WELL AS

THE SUPREME COURT JUDGE HAVE A

LITTLE COMMON SENSE.

PAT: THEY SURE DO.

I TELL YOU, BLOOMBERG IS AN

ENORMOUSLY RICH MAN.

MULTI, MULTIBILLIONAIRE THAT

BLOOMBERG SYSTEM OF STOCK QUOTES

AND EVERYTHING IS A WONDER OF

TECHNOLOGY.

HE HAS SWEPT WALL STREET AND

MADE A LOT OF MONEY.

I THINK WHAT HE SEES, HE THINKS

IT WOULD BE GOOD FOR THE CITY.

I MAY POINT OUT.

SOMEBODY COULD SAY YOU ARE

WRONG, SUPREME COURTS IN THE

UNITED STATES MEANS THE HIGHEST

COURT IN THE LAND.

SUPREME COURT IN NEW YORK MEANS

A LOWER COURT.

BIG COURT IS COURT OF APPEALS.

THIS IS THE FIRST LEVEL JUDGE

THEN YOU GO UP THE LINE

APPELLATE AND SUPREME COURT.

UNDOUBTEDLY IT WILL BE REPEALED.

SHE MAYBE REVERSED.

DID THE CITY COUNCIL GO ALONG

WITH THE MAYOR OR ARBITRARY ACT

BY ONE MAN.

THE REVERSAL MIGHT STAND.

IF THE CITY COUNCIL VOTED

TOGETHER IT IS A DIFFERENT
