COMING UP ON TODAY'S
PROGRAM, THE JOURNALIST WHO
DARED TO REPORT ON THE
GOVERNMENT.
GET THE STORY THE FEDS DON'T
WANT YOU TO HEAR.
PLUS...MAN VERSES MOTHER
NATURE.
DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO
WIN THE BATTLE?
WE'LL SHARE A PAGE OUT OF
THE EXTREME WEATHER SURVIVAL
GUIDE.
AND THEN...A POWER WORKER
FALLS A OFF THE LINE AND
WAKES UP IN HEAVEN.
HEAR WHAT BROUGHT HIM BACK
ON TODAY'S "700 CLUB."
*
Pat: WELL, WELCOME,
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, TO
THIS EDITION OF "THE 700
CLUB."
I WANT TO START THIS PROGRAM
WITH SOMETHING.
I GOT A TELEPHONE CALL FROM
STEVE WEBBER, OUR
REPRESENTATIVE IN THE
UKRAINE, WHO TELLS ME HE HAS
INFORMATION THAT THE
RUSSIANS ARE PLANNING A
SERIOUS INCURSION INTO
UKRAINE, MAYBE STARTING A
WAR.
AND HE SAYS THE WAY THEY DO
IT IS THE OLD K.G.B. TRICK
OF HAVING THEIR OPERATIVES
BEGIN TO SET OFF BOMBS
INSIDE THE UKRAINE TO MAKE
IT LOOK LIKE A REVOLUTION IS
TAKING PLACE.
AND THEN THEY SEND TROOPS TO
TAKE CARE OF THEIR PEOPLE
AND TO BRING, QUOTE,"LAW AND
ORDER" TO THE SITUATION.
AND HE SAID THEY NEED TO DO
BEFORE SOME KIND OF A FREEZE
STARTS.
IT MAY TAKE PLACE OVER THE
NEXT FEW WEEKS.
MR. PUTIN IS NOT IDLE WHY
THE PRESIDENT IS DOING WHAT
HE IS DOING.
JUST KEEP THAT IN MIND.
HE SAID WESLEY CLARK WAS
OVER THERE IN THE LAST FEW
DAYS.
AND WE'LL TRY TO BRING
GENERAL CLARK ON HIS PROGRAM
TO HEAR HIS TAKE ON THE
MILITARY ASPECTS OF IT
BECAUSE HE IS A FOUR-STAR
GENERAL.
HERE AT HOME, OLDMAN WINTER
SEEMS TO HAVE COME EARLY
THIS YEAR.
BLASTING THE MOST SNOW SINCE
1898.
THAT'S THE NEW RECORD IN
ST. CLOUD, MINNESOTA.
AND THERE ARE WINDCHILL
WARNINGS IN IDAHO, AND 40°
BELOW ZERO.
AND SOME COLD IN WYOMING
WOULD BE THE COLD WHERE YOU
STEP OUT AND IN A MATTER OF
FIVE MINUTES OR SO YOU COULD
HAVE WINDCHILL AND IT COULD
BE ACTUALLY FREEZING.
WELCOME TO THE GLOBAL
WARMING OF 2014.
Wendy: COMING UP, WE
HAVE AN EXTREME WEATHER
EXPERT JOINING US WITH TIPS
FOR THRIVING IN THESE FRIGID
TEMPERATURES.
FIRST, CHARLENE AARON BRINGS
US THIS LOOK AT THE BRUTAL
COLD AND HEAVY SNOW HITTING
MUCH OF AMERICA.
Charlene: A POLAR BLAST
OF FRIGID AIR IS SPILLING
ACROSS TWO-THIRDS OF THE
COUNTRY TODAY.
AND IT IS ABOUT TO GET EVEN
COLDER.
IN MANY PLACES, TEMPERATURES
FELL 20 TO 30° IN LESS THAN
ONE HOUR, COUPLED WITH
STRONG WINDS.
IT WILL HEAD ALL THE WAY
DOWN INTO TEXAS BY THE
MIDDLE PART OF THE WEEK.
AND YOU HAVE THIS
WINDCHILL, MAN, IT MAKES IT
REALLY COLD.
Charlene: IN DENVER,
COLORADO, TEMPERATURES ONLY
REACHED A HIGH OF 16°,
BEATING THE OLD RECORD OF
19° WAY BACK IN 1916.
AND THEN THERE IS A HEAVY
KNOW AND ICE, CAUSING HAVOC
FOR TRAVELLERS.
DOZENS OF FLIGHTS DELAYED
AND MASSIVE PILE-UPS ON THE
ROAD.
TRACTOR-TRAILERS STUCK ON
THE ICE, AND NEARLY 500
CRASHES IN MINNESOTA ALONE.
INCLUDING THIS BIG RIG THAT
BARRELED INTO A STATE
TROOPER'S PATROL CAR.
HOW EVERYONE WALKED AWAY
FROM THAT IS NOTHING SHORT
OF A MIRACLE.
Charlene: AND THOUSANDS
ARE DIGGING OUT UNDER
BLANKETS OF SNOW.
INCLUDING IN WISCONSIN,
WHERE MORE THAN A FOOT OF
SNOW HAS FALLEN AND MORE IS
EXPECTED.
THIS IS EARLY FOR THIS
KIND OF SNOW.
WE'RE LOOKING FOR SNOW
AROUND THANKSGIVING TIME.
SO IT IS A COUPLE WEEKS
EARLY.
Charlene: AND THE NASTY
WEATHER PUT A DAMPER ON A
CHURCH-SPONSORED DINNER IN
WISCONSIN.
I THINK THE WEATHER IS
GOING TO GET IN THE WAY.
WE WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE
125, AND I THINK IF WE GET
100, WE'LL BE LUCKY.
Charlene: SOME AREAS
HAVE EVEN SEEN BLIZZARD-LIKE
CONDITIONS.
THE UPPER PENINSULA HAS BEEN
SLAMMED WITH 25 INCHES OF
SNOW WITH MORE ON THE WAY,
CHARLENE AARON, CBN NEWS.
Pat: BUT THE GUYS IN
WASHINGTON AREN'T PAYING
ATTENTION BECAUSE THE
PREVAILING SENTIMENT IS
WE'VE GOT TO FIGHT GLOBAL
WARMING.
WE'RE FREEZING.
WE HAVE RECORD-COLD, BUT
WE'VE GOT TO SEND THE
PRESIDENT TO CHINA TO MAKE A
DEAL ON GLOBAL WARMING.
JOHN JESSUP HAS THAT STORY
FROM OUR CBN NEWS BUREAU IN
WASHINGTON.
HERE IS JOHN.
John: PAT, PRESIDENT
OBAMA WRAPPED UP HIS VISIT
TO CHINA WITH A NEW
AGREEMENT TO CURB GREENHOUSE
GASSES.
HE ANNOUNCED A MOVE TO CUT
AMERICA'S LEVELS OF CARBON
POLLUTION, AND CHINA AGREED
TO CAP ITS EAS EMISSIONS UP
TO 2030.
THE AGREEMENT WAS QUICKLY
MET WITH CRITICISM HERE IN
THE U.S.
THE EXPECTED NEW SENATE
MAJORITY LEADER, MITCHELL
McCONNELL, CALLED IT
UNREALISTIC AND SAYS THE
ECONOMY CAN'T TAKE THE
PRESIDENT'S UNREALISTIC IDEA
OF COAL.
EXPERTS SAY IT WILL BE HARD
FOR REPUBLICANS ON CAPITOL
HILL TO STOP THE
ADMINISTRATION'S NEW MOVES.
Pat: YOU CAN'T STOP
THEM.
THEY'D HAVE TO ROLL THEM
BACK.
BUT THIS IS INSANE.
THE WHOLE IDEA IS CHINA --
BY 2030 MAYBE THEY'LL SET A
CAP -- 2030?
PEOPLE WILL BE DEAD BY
THEN.
AND ANOTHER GENERATION WILL
COME ALONG.
IN THE MEANTIME, WE WILL
CRIPPLE AMERICAN INDUSTRY.
THAT'S THE WHOLE GAME, TO
HAVE THE GOVERNMENT TAKE
CHARGE OF INDUSTRY.
AND THE COAL PRODUCERS SEEM
TO BE HAVING THE BRUNT OF
IT, BUT IT IS ESSENTIALLY A
SMOKE-STACK INDUSTRY ALL
ACROSS AMERICA.
AND THE PRESIDENT, BY
EXECUTIVE ORDER, WANTS TO
PUT IN THAT CARBON TAX AND
DO ALL OF THESE OTHER
THINGS, WHICH HE SHOULDN'T
DO.
IT OUGHT TO BE DONE BY
CONGRESS, IF THERE IS A MOVE
IN CONGRESS, AND IT IS
HIGHLY UNLIKELY.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THIS
KIND OF IDEOLOGIC BIAS
CANNOT BE ALLOWED TO GO
UNCHECKED.
AND THE PRESIDENT IS JUST
GOING TO ROAM FREE.
HE HAS LOST A MAJOR
ELECTION, BUT HE IS ACTING
LIKE THERE WAS NO ELECTION,
AND THAT
HE, QUOTE,"REPRESENTS
TWO-THIRDS OF THE VOTERS."
HE REPRESENTS THE ONES THAT
DIDN'T VOTE.
WHAT A JOKE.
John: ISRAELI PRIME
MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU
IS WARNING AGAIN THAT IRAN,
NOT ISIS, IS THE REAL
LONG-TERM THREAT IN THE
MIDDLE EAST.
NETANYAHU SAYS THE
INTERNATIONAL TALKS ON
IRAN'S NUCLEAR PROGRAM,
CALLED P5 PLUS 1 CAN ALLOW
IRAN TO OBTAIN NUCLEAR
WEAPONS.
Reporter: IN A MESSAGE
ON HIS Facebook PAGE,
PRIME MINISTER NETANYAHU
SAYS HIS OFFICE SENT A
LETTER TO THE P5+1, POINTING
OUT THAT AYATOLLAH KHAMENEI
PUBLICLY CALLED FOR THE
DESTRUCTION OF ISRAEL, EVEN
WHILE HE IS NEGOTIATING A
NUCLEAR DEAL.
THE LEADER OF THIS
COUNTRY, WHICH IS DEPICTED
BY SOME AS MODERATE, HAS
SAID IN THE LAST 48 HOURS,
ONE, THAT HE CALLS FOR THE
ANNIHILATION OF ISRAEL.
Reporter: AYATOLLAH
KHAMENEI CALLED ISRAEL A
INFANTCIDEAL REGIME, FOR
WHICH THERE IS NO CURE BUT
TO BE ANNILHILATED, AND HAD
A NINE-STEP FOR CONFRONTING
ISRAEL, INCLUDING ARMING
PALESTINIANS IN THE WEST
BANK.
REPORTS SAY IRAN IS
PREPARING TO EXPAND ITS
PLUTONIUM PROGRAM, AND MAY
HAVE FIVE TIMES THE ADVANCED
CENTRIFUGES AS PREVIOUSLY
THOUGHT.
THAT WOULD SHORTEN THE TIME
FOR IRAN TO BECOME A NUCLEAR
POWER.
THERE IS NO MODERATION IN
IRAN.
IT IS UNREPENTANT,
UNINFORMED, IT CALLS FOR
ISRAEL'S ERADICATION, IT
PROMOTES INTERNATIONAL
TERRORISM, AND AS THE I.A.A.
REPORTS JUST SAID, IT
CONTINUE TO DECEIVE THE
INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY
ABOUT ITS NUCLEAR WEAPONS
PROGRAM.
Reporter: SOME FEAR
THAT PRESIDENT OBAMA COULD
PUSH THROUGH A DEAL WITH
IRAN.
NETANYAHU BELIEVES THAT
WOULD BE A DISASTER.
THIS TERRORIST REGIME IN
IRAN MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO
BECOME A NUCLEAR THRESHOLD
POWER.
AND I CALL ON THE P5+1,
DON'T RUSSIA INTO A DEAL
THAT WOULD LET IRAN RUSH TO
THE BOMB.
Reporter: NETANYAHU HAS
WARNED AGAINST A NUCLEAR
IRAN FOR YEARS.
IT'S NOT CLEAR IF THE P5+1
WILL HEED HIS WARNING OR IT
WILL FALL ON DEAF EARS.
CHRIS MITCHELL, CBN NEWS,
JERUSALEM.
John: NETANYAHU
HAS, INDEED, BEEN RELENTLESS
WITH HIS WARNINGS ON IRAN.
Pat: WELL, HE IS
TELLING THE TRUTH.
THE LEADER OF IRAN HAS JUST
SAID HERE IS AN EIGHT-STEP
PROGRAM TO ANNIHILATE
ISRAEL.
THERE IS NO QUESTION.
THEY MAKE NO BONES ABOUT
THEIR INTENTION.
THEY'RE NOT TRYING TO
OBVIISCATE THEIR
INTENTIONS.
YOU REMEMBER MENACHEM BEGIN,
HE SENT PLANES UP AND
DESTROYED IT.
I DON'T KNOW IF SADDAM
HUSSEIN COULD HAVE ACHIEVED
A NUCLEAR WEAPON, BUT,
NEVERTHELESS, MENACHEM BEGIN
WASN'T TAKING ANY CHANCES.
IT WAS A BOLD MOVE, AND IT
WAS NEEDED.
I THINK THE TIME WILL COME
WHERE NETANYAHU WILL HAVE TO
TAKE A BOLD STAND.
KERRY IS NOT WITH HIM.
OBAMA IS NOT WITH HIM.
AND THE REST OF THE WORLD IS
KIND OF STANDING IDLY BY.
IF NEEDED, HE HAS TO KNOCK
OUT THOSE NUCLEAR
FACILITIES.
I DON'T THINK THE IRANIANS
ARE READY TO START SOME KIND
OF A BROAD-SCALE WAR.
THEY'RE ALREADY BASICALLY
CONTROLLING IRAQ.
THEY'RE CONTROLLING
LEBANON.
THEY'RE CONTROLLING SYRIA.
BY THEIR PROXIES.
AND WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO
DO?
WELL, IF THEY START A WAR,
THEY MIGHT.
IT IS A TERRIBLE RISK.
WAR IS AN AWFUL THING.
BUT, NEVERTHELESS, A
SURGICAL STRIKE -- YOU KNOW
THE IRANIANS ARE QUITE
VULNERABLE.
THERE ARE PLACES WHERE IT IS
JUST TRADITIONAL.
THAT REFINERY COMPLEX COULD
BE KNOCKED OUT AND IT WOULD
DEVASTATE THE IRANIAN
ECONOMY.
BUT NETANYAHU IS NOT GOING
TO GET ANY HELP FROM THE
UNITED STATES, AT LEAST NOT
FROM THE OBAMA
ADMINISTRATION.
I THINK AS WE LOOK AT IT, HE
IS GOING TO HAVE TO ACT.
AND HE PROBABLY WILL IN THE
NEXT FEW -- MAYBE IN THE
NEXT FEW WEEKS, MONTHS.
JOHN?
John: PAT, PEOPLE WHO
LIVE NEAR FAST FOOD
RESTAURANTS HAVE A HIGHER
RICK OF OBESITY AND TYPE 2
DIABETES.
THERE ARE MORE FAST FOOD
OUTLETS IN THE INNER CITY,
AND THERE ARE MORE CASES OF
DIABETES IN AREAS WITHIN
ABOUT A QUARTER MILE OF
THEM.
WHICH INDICATES PEOPLE
EATING MORE FAST FOOD HAVE A
HIGHER RISK OF OBESITY AND
DIABETES.
THE RESULTS HAVE MAJOR
INDICATIONS FOR LIMITING THE
AMOUNT OF FAST FOOD
RESTAURANTS IN POORER
AREAS.
PAT, NO SURPRISES THERE.
Pat: MCKEE Ds ARE
LOSING THE YOUTH.
THE MILLENNIALS AREN'T
EATING AT McDONALD'S
ANYMORE, SO MAYBE THEY'RE
GETTING THE MESSAGE.
THEY HAVE IN GREAT BRITAIN,
THEY CALL WEPPIES, WHICH IS
THE FAST FOOD PLACE, AND
THEY HAVE PICKED UP THE
AMERICAN HABITS, AND THE
WORLD IS GETTING FATTER ALL
OVER.
Wendy: IT'S A SHAME.
Pat: YOU DON'T DO DO
THAT.
YOU'RE CLIMBING MOUNTAINS.
Wendy: I CLIMBED ON
SATURDAY.
IT WAS FUN BECAUSE I TOOK A
FRIEND WHO HAD NEVER BEEN
HIKING AT ALL.
IT WAS KIND OF A THRILL TO
SEE IT THROUGH HER EYES.
Pat: OLD RAG IS ON THE
SKYLINE DRIVE.
IT IS A LITTLE MOUNTAIN IN
THE BLUE RIDGE CHAIN.
NEXT TO KILIMANJARO --
Wendy: OLD RAG IS ONLY
2,440 FEET, SO IT DOESN'T
COMPARE, BUT IT IS ONE OF MY
FAVORITE HIKES.
Pat: MY SUMMER HOUSE IS
A FEW THOUSAND HIGHER THAN
THAT.
Wendy: HIKE UP TO YOUR
HOUSE.
Pat: IF YOU CAN.
Wendy: AND WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT DIETS, IT IS
NOT TOO LATE TO REQUEST YOUR
FREE D.V.D., AND IT HAS FIVE
SEGMENTS ON HEALTHY LIVING.
JUST CALL THE NUMBER ON YOUR
SCREEN, 1-888-777-1999.
1-800-759-0700.
SO CALL RIGHT NOW AND GET
YOUR FREE D.V.D.
WE WANT YOU TO STAY HEALTHY
THIS SEASON.
UP NEXT, THE INVESTIGATIVE
JOURNALIST WHO ENDURED
HARASSMENT, INTIMIDATION,
AND OUTRIGHT SPYING FROM OUR
OWN GOVERNMENT.
SHARYL ATTKISSON TELLS HOW
SHE WAS STONEWALLED AND
WORSE, AFTER THIS.
TOMORROW, HOW TO STAY
YOUNGER LONGER.
ONE DOCTOR IS GOING TO SHARE
HIS CLINICALLY PROVEN
PRESCRIPTION FOR LIFE.
AND THEN...SECRETS...
SOMETHING BREAKS INSIDE
OF YOU.
...STRIPPING AND SUICIDAL
THOUGHTS.
I DIDN'T WANT TO LIVE
ANYMORE BECAUSE WHAT'S THE
POINT.
HOW SHE FOUND SALVATION.
NOTHING CAN GIVE YOU
FREEDOM LIKE THAT.
ON TOMORROW'S "700
CLUB."
*
Pat: COMPUTER AND PHONE
LINES HACKED AND BUGGED.
THAT'S WHAT INVESTIGATIVE
JOURNALIST SHARYL ATTKISSON
ENDURED IN HER RELENTLESS
PURSUIT OF THE TRUTH ABOUT
"FAST AND FURIOUS",
OBAMACARE, AND BENGHAZI.
AND THAT WASN'T ALL.
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.
Reporter: WHEN SHARYL
ATTKISSON DELVED INTO THE
"FAST AND FURIOUS" GUN
SCANDAL, REPORTED ON THE
DISASTEROUS ROLLOUT OF
OBAMACARE, AND THEN TRIED TO
UNCOVER THE TRUTH TO WHAT
HAPPENED TO FOUR AMERICANS
IN BENGHAZI, SOMETHING BEGAN
TO HAPPEN.
THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION
USED HARD-BALL TACTICS TO
DISCOURAGE, BLOCK, AND
SUPPRESS HER INVESTIGATIVE
WORK.
AND SHE SAYS HER BOSSES AT
CBS NEWS DID NOTHING.
AND SHE SAID HER PHONE LINES
WERE HACKED AND BUGGED.
HER NEW BOOK, "STONE WELD,"
IS THE STORSTONE
"STONEWALLED," EXPOSES THE
SAD STATE OF THE PRESS AND
THE DANGEROUS DECLINE OF
INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM AND
TRUTH-TELLING IN AMERICA
TODAY.
Pat: WELL, SHARYL
ATTKISSON JOINS US NOW FROM
WASHINGTON.
WE WELCOME YOU TO THIS
PROGRAM.
THANKS FOR BEING WITH US.
THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.
Pat: AN INTERESTING
BOOK.
I WANT TO POINT OUT
SOMETHING.
YOU TALK ABOUT THE THREE
MAJOR EVENING NEWS, WHERE
THEY PAY THE ANCHORS AS MUCH
AS $13 MILLION A YEAR, SO IT
IS A PRETTY HIGH-PAID JOB.
I WANT TO QUOTE FROM YOUR
BOOK, WHERE YOU SAID, "MY
OWN NETWORK IS PASSING UP
STORIES OF THE CRUMBLING OF
THE HEALTH CARE ACT, AND
INVESTIGATION UNCOVERING A
HISTORY OF TROUBLE
SURROUNDING A DREAMLINER AND
MASSIVE GOVERNMENT WASTE,
FRAUD AND ABUSE.
AND LARGELY UNTOUCHED ARE
STORIES ABOUT PHARMACEUTICAL
DANGERS AFFECTING MILLIONS
OF AMERICANS, THE F.D.A.
MONITORING EMPLOYEES, THE
STEADY EXPANSION OF
TERRORISM, THE STUDENT LOAN
CRISIS" -- AND I GO ON.
SO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS THE
THREE PROGRAMS ARE
ESSENTIALLY THE SAME, AND IT
IS PADLEM, THE WAY YOU LOOK
AT IT?
THE THREE PROGRAMS USE
SIMILAR PROGRAMS TO DECIDE
WHAT GOES ON THE AIR IN A
GIVEN DAY IN A GIVEN NIGHT.
THERE IS A DECREASING
APPETITE AND WHAT IS
CONSIDERED DESIRABLE ON THE
NEWSCAST, AS THEY AVOID, IN
MY OPINION, STORIES THAT GO
AGAINST POWERS THAT BE,
WHETHER THEY'RE POLITICAL
INTERESTS OR SPECIAL
INTERESTS OR CORPORATE
INTERESTS.
AND YOU END UP WITH A LOT
OF STORIES THAT ARE THE
SAME.
NOT BECAUSE THAT IS ALL THAT
IS HAPPENING IN THE WORLD,
BUT BECAUSE THEY USE THE
SAME PROCESSES TO FIGURE OUT
BASICALLY WHAT TO PUT ON
TELEVISION.
Pat: YOU HAVE A
DETAILED ACCOUNT OF "FAST
AND FURIOUS".
THAT WAS A PROGRAM WHERE THE
UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT
ALLOWED AUTOMATIC WEAPONS,
50 CA CALIBER MACHINE GUNS
AND OTHER HIGH-POWERED
ARMAMENT, TO BE TAKEN ACROSS
THE BORDER INTO MEXICO FOR
THE DRUG CARTELS.
CAN YOU TELL US WHO
AUTHORIZED THAT?
WE NEVER GOT COMPLETELY
TO THE BOTTOM OF FAST AND
FUER, PAT, BECAUS FUERFAST
AND FUER"FAST AND FURIOUS",
BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT
WITHHELD DOCUMENTS.
INITIALLY THE GOVERNMENT
SAID IT STAYED AT THE
PHOENIX LEVEL, AND WHEN THAT
WAS PROVEN FALSE, WE LEARNED
THAT THE PROGRAM WAS KNOWN
IN WASHINGTON, BUT AT THE
TIME THE DEPARTMENT OF
JUSTICE SAYS IT ENDED
THERE.
WE LEARNED IT WAS WELL-KNOWN
WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT OF
JUSTICE, WHICH HAD APPROVED
WIRETAPS IN THE CASE AND SO
ON.
BUT THEY SAID THAT THE WHITE
HOUSE HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF
"FAST AND FURIOUS".
AND DOCUMENTS AND WITNESS
TESTIMONY INDICATED THERE
WERE WHITE HOUSE OFFICIALS
TALKING ABOUT "FAST AND
FURIOUS", AND THEN THE
PRESIDENT STEPPED IN AND
EXERTED EXECUTIVE
PRIVILEGE.
VERY RECENTLY, UNDER COURT
ORDER, THE GOVERNMENT HAD TO
TURN OVER A LOG OF WITHHELD
DOCUMENTS, MORE THAN 15,000
OF THEM.
SOME OF THEM CONTAINED
E-MAILS, WHICH ARE TALKING
ABOUT MY FREEDOM OF
INFORMATION REQUEST, AND MY
NEWS ARTICLES.
WE DON'T KNOW WHAT IS SO
SENSITIVE THAT THE PRESIDENT
OF THE UNITED STATES WOULD
STEP IN TO KEEP THIS
INFORMATION SECRET, BUT
THERE IS STILL A LOT WE
DON'T KNOW.
Pat: THERE IS AN A.T.F.
AGENT NAMED TERRY WHO
APPARENTLY WAS KILLED BY A
GUN SENT ACROSS THE BORDER
IN "FAST AND FURIOUS".
IS THAT RIGHT?
THAT'S RIGHT.
THERE WERE A NUMBER OF
DEATHS.
THAT'S WHAT REALLY BROUGHT
THE CASE TO LIGHT.
AGENTS WHO OBJECTED TO THE
PRACTICE OF SENDING GUNS TO
MEXICO FOR THE MEXICAN DRUG
CARTELS, MAYBE TO RECOVER
THEM LATER AND PROVE THAT
THE CARTEL WAS USING THEM,
AGENTS THOUGHT THEY COULD BE
USED TO KILL INNOCENT
PEOPLE.
AND NOT ONLY DID THAT HAPPEN
IN THE CASE OF BRIAN CURRIE,
BUT WEAPONS THAT ALLOWED TO
WALK, AS THEY SAY -- ONE
AGENT DIED.
THE GOVERNMENT WILL NOT TELL
ALL OF THE INCIDENTS IN
WHICH THESE GUNS ARE SHOWING
UP THAT HAVE BEEN USED IN
VIOLENT CRIMES.
BUT WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO
FIND A NUMBER OF MURDERS,
GANG ASSAULTS, AND SO ON, ON
BOTH SIDES OF THE BORDER IN
WHICH THESE GUNS WERE HELD.
Pat: DARRELL ISSA HELD
IN CONTEMPT SOMEONE ON THE
"FAST AND FURIOUS", OR WHERE
THERE OTHER ISSUES
INVOLVED?
THAT WAS FAS "FAST AND
FURIOUS" WHEN THEY WOULD NOT
TURN OVER THE DOCUMENTS, AND
THE PRESIDENT EXERTED
EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE TO KEEP
THOSE DOCUMENTS SECRET.
Pat: DOES THE WHITE
HOUSE GET A PASS ON THIS?
NO ONE IS GOING TO BE HELD
RESPONSIBLE?
I CAN'T CONCEIVE OF ANYBODY
SO DUMB TO DO THIS, BUT THEY
DID IT.
NO DISCIPLINARY ACTION?
THE PRESS, BY AND LARGE,
SEEMED SATISFIED WITH AN
INVESTIGATION THAT SHOWED
THEY COULDN'T PROVE THAT
ERIC HOLDER READ THE
BRIEFINGS.
HE SAID HE DIDN'T.
IT KIND OF SAT THERE WITH
THE INSPECTOR GENERAL
FAULTING MANY PEOPLE WHO
WORKED UNDER ERIC HOLDER FOR
MISSTEPS IN THIS CASE.
BUT PRETTY MUCH THE MEDIA
WAS SATISFIED AS LONG AS IT
DIDN'T TOUCH ERIC HOLDER
DIRECTLY AND THERE WAS NO
PROOF, THEY WEREN'T TERRIBLY
INTERESTED IN THIS STORY.
Pat: IS THE MEDIA, IN
YOUR VIEW, IN THE TANK FOR
OBAMA?
THAT SEEMS TO BE WHAT YOU'RE
SAYING, THAT THEY WANTED TO
COVER UP THINGS YOU WERE
BRINGING TO LIGHT?
IT IS HARD TO SAY THE
MEDIA AS ONE MONOLITHIC
ORGANIZATION.
THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE THAT
FEEL DIFFERENT WAYS.
BUT I WILL TELL YOU THE LAST
COUPLE OF YEARS AT CBS, WITH
THE MANAGEMENT THERE ON THE
BROADCAST, THERE WERE
IDIOLOGICAL INFLUENCES I
HADN'T SEEN, AT LEAST NEARLY
THAT STRONGLY, IN THE
PREVIOUS YEARS.
SOME OF THEM, YES, THERE
WERE MANAGERS THAT SEEMED TO
WANT TO PROTECT THE
PRESIDENT.
AND ALMOST ANY STORY THAT WE
OFFERED, MY PRODUCER AND I,
THAT WAS ORIGINAL AND
INVESTIGATIVE IN NATURE,
THAT THEY SAY SOMEWHERE DOWN
THE ROAD POSSIBLY BEING
CRITICAL OF THE GOVERNMENT,
IN MY VIEW, THEY DID NOT
WANT THOSE STORIES.
BUT THERE WERE OTHER STORIES
THEY DIDN'T WANT, TOO, THAT
HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH
POLITICS.
THERE IS AN OVERALL TREND
AMONG JOURNALISM, THAT THERE
IS A LESSENING APPETITE FOR
ORIGINAL AND INVESTIGATIVE
REPORTING ACROSS THE BOARD
ON THE NATIONAL NEWS.
I'VE SHARED SOME OF THOSE
STORIES IN THE BOOK FROM
ANOTHER JOURNALISTS AS
WELL.
Pat: YOUR COMPUTERS
APPARENTLY WERE HACKED, BUT
YOU WERE AT A MEETING OF THE
A.P. REPORTERS, AND
APPARENTLY A NUMBER OF THEM
HAD SIMILAR INSTANCES, WHERE
THE WHITE HOUSE WAS ACTUALLY
INVOLVED IN SURREPTITIOUS
ACTIVITIES AGAINST THESE
REPORTERS TO LIMIT THEIR
REIN.
I WAS INVOLVED IN THE
BENGHAZI ATTACKS, 9/
9/11/2012, WHICH TOLD ME I
WAS LIKELY BEING REPORTED
BECAUSWATCHED BECAUSE OF MY
REPORTER.
BECAUSE WE DIDN'T KNOW YET
THAT THEY HAD BEEN BASICALLY
SPYING ON A FOX NEWS
REPORTER, JAMES ROSEN.
WE DIDN'T HAVE EDWARD
SNOWDEN'S REVELATIONS OR
THAT JAMES CLAPPER WAS GOING
TO GIVE FALSE TESTIMONY TO
CONGRESS.
I DID HAVE THE CONNECTIONS
TO SOMEONE AT CBS, WHO
LOOKED THROUGH MY LAPTOP
COMPUTER, AND WHAT HE
LEARNED WAS A LONG-TERM
SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM THAT WAS
SET UP IN MY COMPUTER
REMOTELY AND ILLEGALLY, AND
IT COULD LOOK AT EVERY
WEBSITE I VISITED, ALL OF MY
E-MAIL ACCOUNTS.
I AM IT COULD MAKE USE OF MY
SKYPE TO LISTEN TO AUDIO AND
EXFILTRAIT FILES.
AND WE REVEALED THAT BOTH OF
MY COMPUTERS HAD BEEN
INFILTRATED IN A SIMILAR
WAY, WITH SOFTWARE THAT IS
PROPRIETARY TO ONE OF FOUR
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
AGENCIES.
Pat: WHEN SUSAN RICE
WENT ON THE NATIONAL SUNDAY
TALK SHOWS, IT WAS JUST
OUTRAGEOUS.
AND THE PRESIDENT JUST
RECENTLY HAS SAID, I SAID IT
WAS A TERRORIST.
AND THEY'VE GOT THE TAPES OF
WHAT HE HAD TO SAY, AND HE
NEVER MENTIONED TERRORIST.
AND, YOU KNOW -- BUT THEY
WERE SAYING IT WAS SOME FILM
THAT WAS AN OFF-BRAND FILM
THAT CAUSED THESE
SPONTANEOUS UPRISINGS, WHEN
ACTUALLY IT WAS NO SUCH
THING.
WE DO KNOW FROM DOCUMENTS
THAT HAVE COME OUT AND
TESTIMONY SINCE 2012, THAT
THE GOVERNMENT HAD CONCLUDED
ALMOST IMMEDIATELY, AND IN
FACT INFORMED LIBYANS THAT
THIS WAS AN ACT OF
TERRORISM.
THEY SAID THAT UNSAR
AL-SHARIA WAS
RESPONSIBILITY.
BUT THE GOVERNMENT WAS BEING
TOLD AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT
STORY.
AND ONE OF THE QUESTIONS
THAT ISN'T ANSWERED, WHO WAS
IT THAT DIRECTED THAT
NARRATIVE.
THEY HAVEN'T TOLD US HOW IT
CAME ABOUT.
WE ONLY KNOW IF YOU LOOK AT
THE TRANSCRIPTS FROM THE
SECRETARY, HILLARY CLINTON,
SUSAN RICE, THEY'RE USING
SYNONYMS, ANYTHING BUT THE
WORD "TERRORIST" WHEN THEY
DESCRIBED THIS.
WHICH LEADS ME TO THINK
THERE WAS A MEETING AND A
DECISION, BUT WE JUST DON'T
HAVE ANY OF OTHER DETAILS ON
THAT RIGHT NOW.
Pat: THIS IS A GREAT
BOOK, AND YOUR INVESTIGATIVE
REPORTING IS SUPERB.
WHAT IS NEXT?
ARE YOU BLACK-BALLED IN THE
INDUSTRY, AT LEAST AMONG THE
BIG BOYS?
PROBABLY.
I LEFT CBS, AND I HAD A
DISCUSSION WITH MY HUSBAND,
ONCE I LEAVE THIS CONTRACT,
WE HAVE TO EXCEPT I MAY
NEVER WORK AGAIN.
THANKFULLY SINCE MARCH, I'VE
HAD OUTLETS AS A FREELANCER,
AND SO ONE AT A TIME I'VE
BEEN FREE-LANCING STORIES
FOR OTHER PLACES.
I'M IN A GOOD POSITION THAT
I CAN SPEAK WHAT I THINK IS
THE TRUTH AND I DON'T HAVE
TO WORRY ABOUT REPERCUSSIONS
BECAUSE I DON'T REALLY HAVE
TO HAVE ANOTHER BOSS IN THE
FUTURE.
Pat: GOOD FOR YOU.
THIS BOOK IS GOOD.
IT IS CALLED "STONEWALLED,"
AND IT IS AVAILABLE ON
AMAZON OR WHEREVER BOOKS OR
SOLD.
SHARYL ATTKISSON, THANKS FOR
BEING HERE.
THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.
Wendy: AMAZING.
COMING UP, A POWER WORKER
FALLS AND ENDS UP IN A
COMA.
I WAS TAKEN INTO THE
THRONE ROOM OF GOD.
IT WAS MORE REAL THAN YOU
ARE.
IT WAS SO REAL.
AND EVERYTHING WAS JUST SO
WHITE.
WHITER THAN WHITE.
Wendy: FIND OUT WHAT
ELSE THIS MAN SAW AND HEARD,
WHEN WE COME BACK.
Pat: YOU KNOW, A LOT OF
US ARE GOING TO SPEND MONEY
FOR THANKSGIVING AND WE'RE
GOING TO SPEND MONEY FOR
CHRISTMAS.
AND A LOT OF US WILL SPEND A
LOT OF MONEY, HUNDREDS OF
DOLLARS FOR CHRISTMAS AND
THANKSGIVING.
AND WHAT WE SUGGEST IS THAT
YOU FIGURE OUT HOW MUCH YOUR
THANKSGIVING MEAL, OR YOUR
CHRISTMAS MEAL, IS GOING TO
BE, AND YOU WRITE A CHECK
FOR THAT AMOUNT TO CBN AND
"OPERATION BLESSING," AND WE
HAVE A SPECIAL FUND FOR THIS
HOLIDAY AND FOR RELIEF OF
POVERTY AROUND THIS NATION
SO THAT SOMEBODY CAN HAVE A
BETTER LIFE.
THIS IS GOING TO BE IN THE
MAIL.
IT WILL COME TO YOU.
AND THERE IS A LITTLE REPLY
CARD IN HERE.
IT IS ALL SIMPLE.
YOU JUST PUT SOMETHING IN
THERE.
I THINK THAT WE WANT TO HAVE
A WONDERFUL HOLIDAY FOR A
LOT OF PEOPLE.
IT'S COME UP SO FAST,
THOUGH, WENDY.
WHERE HAS THE TIME GONE.
Wendy: I MEAN,
HALLOWEEN HAPPENED, RIGHT,
SO WE'RE IN NOVEMBER.
Pat: SOMEBODY WAS
ASKING ME, ARE YOU HAVING A
DINNER FOR THE MESSIAH FOR
PEOPLE.
I'M THINKING, MESSIAH --
THAT'S THE 3rd OF DECEMBER
ALREADY?
UNBELIEVABLE.
AND WE'VE GOT SOMETHING ELSE
GOING.
Wendy: I WAS SAYING,
WHAT A GREAT WAY TO SAY
THANKS.
WE ALWAYS GET TOGETHER AND
EAT TOO MUCH AND WATCH
FOOTBALL.
I LOVE THAT IDEA BECAUSE
THAT IS A GREAT WAY TO SAY
THANK YOU.
Pat: THERE HAS BEEN A
DEAL ON HAPPINESS -- THE
"WALL STREET JOURNAL" HAD AN
ARTICLE, AND DOES MONEY MAKE
YOU HAPPY?
IT IS THE BIBLICAL THING, IT
IS MORE BLESSED TO GIVE THAN
TO RECEIVE.
PEOPLE ARE HAPPIER WHEN THEY
GIVE THAN WHEN THEY TAKE
STUFF.
JUST ACQUIRING THINGS DOES
NOT MAKE YOU HAPPY.
BUT GIVING TO OTHERS MAKES
YOU HAPPY.
YOU WANT TO HAVE JOY AT
CHRISTMAS AND HOLIDAYS, AND
THAT'S THE WAY TO GET IT.
Wendy: AMEN.
DONNA MONGCRIF WAS TOLD TO
PREPARE FOR HER HUSBAND'S
FUNERAL.
RICK WAS IN A COMA AFTER A
BRUTAL FALL.
THAT WAS 18 YEARS AGO.
AND TODAY RICK IS STILL
TELLING THE STORY OF HIS
MIRACULOUS RECOVERY AND THE
TRIP HE TOOK TO HEAVEN.
Reporter: IN
SEPTEMBER 1996, HURRICANE
FRAN SLAMMED INTO THE
CAROLINAS.
IN THE STORM'S AFTERMATH,
GEORGIA POWER WORKER RICK
MONCLIFF WAS ON A ROOF TOP
TRYING TO PULL A LINE FROM
UNDER A FALLEN TREE, WHEN
THE LINE SNAPPED.
HE FELL BACKWARDS AND LANDED
HEAD-FIRST ON THE CONCRETE
DRIVEWAY.
HE WAS FLOWN TO DUKE MEDICAL
CENTER.
HIS WIFE WAS TOLD TO PREPARE
FOR HER HUSBAND'S FUNERAL.
I FELT A LOT OF FEAR.
AND I FELT CONCERN.
I HAD EVERY SCENARIO GOING
THROUGH MY BRAIN -- HOW AM I
GOING TO RAISE THREE
DAUGHTERS BY MYSELF.
Reporter: RICK HAD
SEVERAL BROKEN RIBS AND HIS
BRAIN WAS HEMORRHAGING.
10 MINUTES AFTER HE ARRIVED
AT THE HOSPITAL, HE SLIPPED
INTO A COMA.
HE WAS HOOKED UP TO A
BREATHING MACHINE AND ALL
KINDS OF MACHINES.
I JUST LOOKED AT HIM.
I WAS IN SHOCK, I THINK.
I COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT HE
WAS LAYING THERE.
AND THE DOCTORS WERE JUST
SAYING THAT IT WAS A WAIT
WAIT AND SEE GAME.
THEY DIDN'T KNOW.
I KNEW THAT JESUS WAS THE
HEALER.
BUT IN MY OWN STRENGTH, I
DIDN'T HAVE THAT STRENGTH IN
MYSELF TO PRAY.
SO I HAD BELIEVE BELIEVERS
AND FRIENDS WHO WERE PRAYING
FOR ME, AS WELL AS FOR RICK,
THAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO
COME THROUGH THIS.
Reporter: THE PRAYERS
CONTINUED, AND BY DAY FIVE
RICK WAS STILL UNRESPONSIVE,
AT LEAST IT APPEARED THAT
WAY.
I WAS TAKEN INTO THE
THRONE ROOM OF GOD.
IT WAS MORE REAL THAN YOU
ARE.
IT WAS SO REAL.
AND EVERYTHING WAS JUST SO
WHITE.
WHITER THAN WHITE.
AND I WAS ON MY BELLY, ON MY
FACE, BEFORE THE LORD.
AND I SAW HIS FEET.
HIS FEET WAS FINE BRASS.
I DIDN'T SEE HIS FACE.
AND HE ASKED ME, WHAT DO YOU
WANT TO DO?
WHO'S REPORT WILL YOU
BELIEVE?
WILL YOU BELIEVE THE REPORT
OF THE LORD OR DO YOU
BELIEVE THE REPORT OF THE
DOCTORS?
I SAID, I WANT TO LIVE.
I WANT TO LIVE AND DECLARE
THE WORD OF THE LORD.
AND HE STOOD UP AND HE
CLAPPED HIS HANDS.
AND HE SAID, THAT'S ENOUGH.
WHEN HE SAID THAT'S ENOUGH,
I BEGAN IMMEDIATELY TO COME
OUT OF THE COMA.
Reporter: HIS DOCTORS
SAY RICK WOULD NEVER BE THE
SAME AGAIN.
RICK AND DONNA BELIEVED
DIFFERENTLY.
HE SAID, YOU'RE THE
LUCKIEST PERSON IN THE WORLD
NOW, THAT YOU EVER CAME OUT
OF THIS COMA, AND YOU YOU'LL
RECOVER FRO YOU'LL RECOVER
A LITTLE BIT, BUT IT WILL BE
60 MONTHS, WHICH IS FIVE
YEARS, MINIMUM, BEFORE
YOU'LL EVER BE 40% BACK.
AND I TOLD HER, NO, MA'AM.
I DON'T MEAN ANY DISRESPECT
TO YOU, BUT IT IS NOT GOING
TO TAKE THAT LONG.
THE LORD IS GOING TO DO A
QUICK WORK.
Reporter: HE AND DONNA
JOINED THEIR FRIENDS AND
FAMILY IN PRAYER.
I WAS BELIEVING FOR THE
HEALING.
WE BELIEVE BY HIS STRIPES WE
ARE HEALED.
Reporter: EACH DAY HIS
HEALTH IMPROVED.
AND AFTER JUST 27 DAYS OF
REHAB, RICK HAD A 95%
RECOVERY.
WHEN I CAME BACK TO WORK
AT THE POWER COMPANY IN THE
EARLY PART OF 1997, I CAME
BACK TO WORK FULL DUTY.
THE FAITHFULNESS OF GOD
COMES TO MY MIND.
THAT OUR GOD, AS THE
IMMEDIATE CRY OF OUR HEART,
WILL HEAR US.
AND HE IS FAITHFUL.
THE GREAT DOCTORS DID ALL
THEY COULD DO, BUT IT WAS
THE FATHER'S LOVE.
IT WAS HIS GRACE, HIS
COMPASSION ON ME, TO ALLOW
ME TO LIVE TODAY AND LIVE
THESE 18 YEARS SINCE THIS
HAS HAPPENED.
Reporter: RICK LATER
RETIRED FROM THE POWER
COMPANY AND BECAME A
PASTOR.
HE CHERISHES EVERY MOMENT HE
HAS WITH HIS WIFE AND
FAMILY.
AND SAYS HE DOESN'T LET A
DAY GO BY WITHOUT GIVING
THANKS TO GOD FOR HIS
MIRACULOUS HEALING.
EVERY DAY IS AN
INCREDIBLE DAY.
EVERY DAY IS JUST -- THERE
IS ALWAYS A LOT TO BE
THANKFUL FOR.
I'M JUST THANKFUL THAT I
FEEL BETTER TODAY THAN I DID
YESTERDAY.
I'M THANKFUL TODAY THAT I'M
ABLE TO STAND UP.
I'M THANKFUL TODAY THAT I
DON'T HAVE A MASSIVE
HEADACHE THIS MORNING.
I'M THANKFUL TODAY THAT I'M
ABLE TO BREATHE BY MYSELF,
WITHOUT A MACHINE.
I'M JUST THANKFUL.
Wendy: AMEN.
WOW, THAT IS A TRUE
MIRACLE.
AND WE'VE GOT SOME
TESTIMONIES HERE.
Pat: GIVE US ONE.
Wendy: DONNA, OF
AMARILLO, TEXAS, SHE HAD
PAIN IN THE LEFT SIDE OF HER
STOMACH IF SHE INCREASED HER
ACTIVITIES, EVEN A LITTLE.
TESTS SHOWED THAT SHE HAD A
BENIGN CYST IN HER UTERUS.
DONNA DID NOT HAVE INSURANCE
OR THE MONEY TO PAY, SO SHE
HAD TO ENDURE THIS PINCHING
DAILY FOR FIVE YEARS.
THEN ONE DAY SHE WAS
WATCHING "THE 700 CLUB."
SHE HEARD YOU, PAT, GIVE A
WORD KNOWLEDGE, SAYING THAT
SOMEBODY HAS AN INTERUTERINE
TUMOR, AND THAT TUMOR IS
GONE.
DONNA LAID HANDS ON HER
SIDE, CLAIMED THE WORD, AND
IMMEDIATELY THE PAIN HAS
STOPPED.
THE TUMOR HAS NOT COME
BACK.
Pat: HERE IS SHERRY,
WHO LIVES IN KENTUCKY.
SHE WAS OVERWHELMED WITH
GRIEF AFTER HER HUSBAND
DIED.
A WEEK LATER, SHE WAS
WATCHING THIS PROGRAM ON A
D.V.R. -- IT'S A TAPE,
OKAY -- AND SHE PRAYED AND
SAID, GOD, GIVE ME A SIGN
YOU REALLY ARE WITH ME.
WENDY, YOU WERE JUST GIVING
A WORD OF KNOWLEDGE AS A
WOMAN.
AND YOU'RE SO BROKENHEARTED
YOU DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN GO
ON.
THE LORD IS COMFORTING YOU,
AND HE IS SENDING HIS ANGELS
RIGHT NOW TO MINISTER TO
YOU.
SHERRY SAYS SHE FELT JOY
LEAP IN HER HEART.
AND SHE WAS SO IMPRESSED ON
HOW GOD ANSWERED HER PRAYER,
SHE POSTED THAT VIDEO ON HER
Facebook PAGE.
OBVIOUSLY, SHE IS PRAISING
GOD.
LISTEN, GOD IS AMAZING.
WE SEE PEOPLE HEALED EVERY
DAY, AND WE STAND IN AWE OF
THE POWER
OF
GOD.
IT ISN'T
SOMETHING WE TAKE
FOR
GRANTED.
WE AR
E AWE
STROKE
THAT
AWESTRUCK THAT THERE IS
A
GOD IN
HEAVEN THAT LET'S US
PARTICIPATE IN
THE HEALING
PROCESS.
IT HAPPENS HUNDREDS AND
HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF
TIMES.
SO WENDY AND I
ARE
GOING
TO
PRAY TOGETHER.
WE'RE
GOING
TO BELIEVE GOD.
AND NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE
WITH THE
LORD WE SERVE.
WE JOIN HANDS.
FATHER, I JOIN WITH MY
SISTER IN PRAYER.
AND YOU SAID IF TWO OF YOU
WILL AGREE ON EARTH,
TOUCHING ANYTHING THAT THEY
ASK, IT WILL BE DONE FOR
THEM BY MY FATHER, WHICH IS
IN HEAVEN.
NOW, IN THE NAME OF JESUS,
WE SPEAK THE WORD.
MAY THE POWER OF GOD COME
INTO YOUR LIFE.
THERE IS SOMEBODY ELSE WHO
HAS A CYST ON YOUR LEFT
BREAST.
PUT YOUR HAND ON IT RIGHT
NOW.
THAT CYST IS BROKEN UP AND
DISSOLVING.
IN JESUS' NAME IT IS GONE.
WENDY?
Wendy: SOMEBODY, YOU
WERE OUTSIDE DOING HOUSEWORK
ON A SMALL LADDER.
JUST A SMALL LADDER, BUT YOU
FELL OFF AND YOU'RE REALLY
SUFFERING ON ONE SIDE.
A BIG BRUISE AND IT IS
REALLY PAINFUL.
GOD IS LETTING YOU KNOW HE
IS HEALING YOU RIGHT NOW.
HE IS DOING A QUICK WORK AND
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE ANY
HELP PROBLEMS, IN JESUS'
NAME.
Pat: $1900 -- $1900
YOU'RE PRAYER FOR.
MAC, YOU'RE ASKING FOR
$1900.
GOD IS GOING TO GIVE YOU THE
DESIRE OF YOUR HEART.
LORD, THERE ARE FAMILIES
THAT ARE BROKEN UP.
THERE ARE WIVES WHO ARE
PRAYING FOR HUSBANDS, AND
HUSBANDS WHO ARE PRAYING FOR
WIVES.
AND HUSBANDS AND WIVES
PRAYING FOR CHILDREN.
LORD, ANSWER THE PRAYER OF
THESE FAMILIES.
DRAW TOGETHER THE FAMILIES.
BRING THEM INTO THE
CLOSENESS OF JESUS.
AND BLESS US AS WE SERVE YOU
IN JESUS' NAME.
AMEN.
AND AMEN.
Wendy: WHOA!
THAT ANSWER TO PRAYER MADE
ME CRY.
Pat: AMEN.
Wendy: ALL RIGHT, WHAT
ARE WE DOING NOW?
Pat: I DON'T KNOW.
Wendy: PAT, YOU WARNED
US ON MONDAY TO GET READY
FOR AN ULTRA COLD WINTER.
AND STILL AHEAD, WE'LL TELL
YOU WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TO
BE PREPARED.
ALL SORTS OF EXTREME
WEATHER.
THIS IS FOR YOU AND YOUR
PETS, COMING UP.
PAT AND TERRY ARE
PRAYING --
THE SWELLING IS GOING TO
GO DOWN, AND THE INFECTION
IS GOING TO LEAVE, AND
YOU'LL BE ABLE TO HEAR
COMPLETELY WELL.
THE INFECTION WENT AWAY,
AND THAT WAS THAT.
I KNEW I WAS HEALED.
IF YOU LET HIM WORK, JUST
GIVE HIM A CHANCE.
AND NEVER LOOK BACK.
WELCOME BACK TO "THE 700
CLUB" FOR THIS CBN NEWS
BREAK.
THE NATIONAL CATHEDRAL HERE
IN WASHINGTON IS HOSTING A
MUSLIM PRAYER SERVICE FOR
THE FIRST TIME EVER.
THE FRIDAY EVENT IS PLANNED
BY THE CATHEDRAL'S DIRECTOR
OF LIT GEEERGY.
THE CATHEDRAL HAS HOSTED
MUSLIMS AT VARIOUS
INTERFAITH SERVICES IN THE
PAST, BUT THIS IS THE FIRST
TIME THE CATHEDRAL HAS
INVITED MUSLIMS TO LEAD
THEIR OWN PRAYERS THERE.
THE PLANNERS CALL IT A
POWERFUL SYMBOLIC GESTURE.
A MARYLAND SCHOOL DISTRICT
IS BECOMING NEUTRAL
RELIGIOUS.
THEY WANT TO GET RID OF ALL
HOLIDAYS ON THE CALENDAR,
INCLUDING EASTER AND
CHRISTMAS.
THE MOVE COMES AFTER MUSLIMS
ASKED FOR A MUSLIM HOLIDAY
TO BE RECOGNIZED THE SAME AS
JEWISH HOLIDAYS.
IT STRIPS ANY MENTION OF
CHRISTMAS, EASTER, ROSH
HASHANAH AND YOM KIPPUR.
AS A MEMBER OF THE MUSLIM
COMMUNITY, THAT IS NOT WHAT
I WAS LOOKING FOR.
THE MUSLIM HOLIDAYS FALL
ON THE SAME DAY, BUT BOARD
MEMBERS SAY THIS DOESN'T
ENCLOSE THE ISSUE OF CLOSING
ON EAD.
YOU CAN ALWAYS FIND MORE
NEWS ON CBNNEWS.COM.
PAT AND WENDY WILL BE BACK
RIGHT AFTER THIS.
Wendy: WILD, WEIRD
WEATHER, IT'S NOW THE NEW
NORMAL.
SO WE SHOULD EXPECT THE
UNEXPECTED AND LEARN HOW THE
BE PREPARED.
JUST WATCH.
IT COULD BE A TORNADO THAT
TOUCHES DOWN WITHOUT
WARNING, OR A HURRICANE THAT
CAN BE TRACKED FOR DAYS.
EITHER WAY, ANYONE AT ANY
TIME CAN FIND THEMSELVES AT
THE MERCY OF EXTREME
WEATHER.
THOMAS CASAGAN, "NEW YORK
TIMES" BEST-SELLING AUTHOR
AND JOURNALIST, SAYS WHILE
WE CAN'T CONTROL THE
WEATHER, THERE ARE THINGS
YOU CAN DO TO INCREASE YOUR
CHANCES OF SURVIVING.
IN HIS MOST RECENT BOOK,
"NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC'S
EXTREME WEATHER SURVIVAL
GUIDE," THOMAS EXPLAINS WHAT
TO DO BEFORE, DURING, AND
AFTER THE STORM.
AND JOINING US NOW IS THOMAS
COSTIGAN.
THANKS FOR JOINING
US.
THANKS FOR HAVING ME.
Wendy: I LOVE WEATHER
STORIES, AND CHASING
HURRICANES AND BEING OUT IN
THE OUTDOORS.
YOU SAY IN YOUR BOOK THERE
ARE THREE ACTIONS EVERYBODY
SHOULD TAKE TO KNOW HOW TO
PREPARE FOR ANY EXTREME
WEATHER.
WHAT ARE THE THREE THINGS?
BE INFORMED.
LEVERAGE TECHNOLOGY, AND GET
SOME ALERTS SENT TO YOUR
CELL PHONE.
GO ON LINE AND FIGURE OUT IF
YOU LIVE IN A FLOOD ZONE.
OBVIOUSLY GET THINGS LIKE
THE BOOK SO YOU UNDERSTAND
THE CONTEXT OF THESE
THINGS.
HAVE A PLAN TO PUT INTO
PLACE ONCE YOU HAVE THAT
INFORMATION.
EVACUATION, FAMILY
COMMUNICATION PLAN.
AND THEN SUPPLIES.
IT IS SUPER IMPORTANT HAVING
THE RIGHT THINGS IN PLACE SO
YOU DON'T HAVE TO STAND IN
THOSE GIANT LINES THAT WE
SEE DURING EVERY STORM TO
GET WATER OR FOOD OR OTHER
SUPPLIES.
Wendy: LET'S LOOK AT
SOME ITEMS YOU HAVE ON HAND
TO SURVIVE, IN THE EVENT OF
A BIG STORM, WHETHER IT BE A
HURRICANE OR A FLOOD OR A
SNOWSTORM.
WHAT SHOULD WE HAVE ON HAND,
IN OUR HOME?
I THINK OF IT AS A
MICROSET OF THINGS THAT WE
ALREADY HAVE IN OUR LIVES.
FOOD.
DRY FOOD THAT CAN LAST FOR A
LONG PERIOD OF TIME.
IT'S NOT
GOING TO GO BAD.
WATER, OR A WATER BOTTLE
WITH A CONTAMINATION FILTER
IN.
AND THE OTHER
THING IS POWER
OR SOME TYPE OF SHELTER.
A BLANKET FOR SHELTER,
HAVING THAT IS REALLY,
REALLY IMPORTANT.
IF YOU DON'T HAVE A
GENERATOR AND YOU'RE LOOKING
FOR
LIGHT,
WHAT BETTER THING
THAN GLOWSTICKS OR THIS
EIGHT IN ONE FLASHLIGHT,
WHICH I THINK ROCKS.
IT HAS A COMPASS, EXPECTED,
THERMOMETER, EXPECTED,
FLASHLIGHT --
Wendy: AND THERE IS A
KNIFE IN THERE, TOO.
AND MATCHES IN THERE, AND
A BIG, IMPORTANT THING, A
STORM WHISTLE.
IF YOU NEED TO GET SOMEONE'S
ATTENTION, IF YOU'RE JUST
HIKING OR YOUR STUCK IN A
MUDSLIDE, AND YOU HAVE A
DISTRESS SIGNAL LIKE THIS,
THAT CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE.
Wendy: WE CAN'T SURVIVE
WITHOUT WATER.
YOU SHOULD HAVE A GALLON OF
WATER PER PERSON PER DAY IN
YOUR HOME.
CORRECT.
TRY TO KEEP A TWO WEEKS'
SUPPLY ON A MINIMUM SIDE.
THIS COMES WITH WATER
TABLETS, PREPACKED.
THIS WILL KEEP
YOU SAFE FOR
THAT AMOUNT OF TIME.
IT
GIVES
YOU PEACE OF MIND.
THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT
THING DURING A STORM.
Wendy: WHAT ABOUT
WEATHER APPS, DOWNLOADING
THINGS ON YOUR SMARTPHONE
AND iPAD.
WE TALKED ABOUT GETTING
INFORMATION FROM OUR MOBILE
PHONES FOR ALERTS.
DO IT THE OTHER WAY, WHERE
IS THERE SHELTER IN MY LOCAL
COMMUNITY.
WHAT ABOUT STORM ALERTS, SO
YOU KNOW, WOW, IT IS HEADING
MY WAY FAST.
I HAVE TO TAKE ACTION.
Wendy: LOOKING AT ALL
OF THESE CLOTHES, WHICH
REMINDS ME OF YOUR TRIP TO
KILIMANJARO.
YOU HAVE TO HAVE YOUR BASE
LAYER, YOUR MIDDLE LAYER,
AND YOUR OUTER LEVEL.
THAT'S WHAT YOU RECOMMEND
EVERYBODY SHOULD HAVE.
ABSOLUTELY.
I JUST INTERVIEWED THE HOME
OF THE MOST EXTREME WEATHER
ON THE PLANET, WHICH IS MT.
WASHINGTON.
AND THE NUMBER ONE THING
THEY TALK ABOUT IS
LAYERING.
Wendy: AND THIS IS NOT
COTTON, AND THAT'S REALLY
IMPORTANT.
YOU DON'T WANT COTTON NEXT
TO YOU AS YOUR BASE.
COTTON IS GREAT IN THE
SUMMERTIME, BUT
IF IT STAYS
WET AND YOU ADD COLD ON
THAT, HYPOTHERMIA SETS IN.
AND DON'T KEEP THESE TIGHT.
A LOT OF PEOPLE GET TIGHT,
TIGHT UNDERWEAR, AND
THEY
THINK IT MAKES THEM WARMER,
BUT THAT DOESN'T ALLOW YOUR
BODY'S NATURAL HEAT TO STAY
CLOSER TO YOUR BODY WITH THE
ABILITY TO CIRCULATE.
AND AFTER YOU TAKE CARE OF
THE MOISTURE SIDE, THINK
ABOUT WARMTH.
WOOL SWEATERS, FLEECE,
REALLY, REALLY IMPORTANT.
Wendy: I LOVE THIS
OUTER LAYER BECAUSE IT WILL
NOT ONLY KEEP YOU WARM, BUT
IT WILL KEEP THE WIND OUT.
WATER AND WIND ARE THE
TWO THINGS TO THINK ABOUT
WITH THE SHELL.
SO THAT, AND THEN YOUR
WARMTH, AND YOUR MOISTURE,
AND YOU'RE SET.
Wendy: AND NOW GLOVES.
THESE ARE PROBABLY NOT THE
RIGHT GLOVES.
THIS IS LIKE A SOCK PUPPET.
YOU WANT MITTENS MORE THAN
YOU WOULD WANT GLOVES
BECAUSE IT KEEPS YOUR HANDS
WARMER.
YOUR FINGERS ARE TOGETHER
FOR WARMTH.
Wendy: THAT'S WHAT I
NEEDED ON KILIMANJARO.
I HAD MITTENS, BUT THEY
WEREN'T FUR-LINED.
I SPEAK WITH A LOT OF
EXPLORERS AND PEOPLE WHO
WORK OUTSIDE IN THOSE
CONDITIONS, AND USING GLOVES
INSIDE MITTENS CAN TAKE CARE
OF
THAT.
Wendy: PETS.
EVERYBODY WANTS TO TAKE CARE
OF PETS IN THE COLD.
THOMAS, HOW CAN WE PROTECT
OUR PETS?
I'M A DOG FANATIC.
MY DOG IS MY BEST FRIEND ON
EARTH.
I'M REALLY, REALLY SUPER
ATTUNED TO THIS.
HAVING THESE WIPES FOR PAWS,
FOR EXAMPLE.
BECAUSE WHEN DOGS WALK
OUTSIDE, THEY CAN PICK UP A
LOT OF DIRT.
DE-ICING, AND ANTIFREEZE,
AND THEN THEY LICK THEIR
PAWS AND THEY CAN GET SICK.
THINK ABOUT CONAN WALKING
THROUGH THE SNOW.
THAT BELLY IS GOING TO GET
WET.
THESE ARE HYPER ALLERGENIC
PADS KEEPS MOISTURE ON THEIR
PADS, TOO, SO THEY DON'T
HAVE A CHANCE TO CRACK AS
MUCH.
Wendy: EVEN IF IT IS AN
OUTDOOR DOG, IF YOU'RE
HAVING EXTREME COLD WEATHER,
YOU NEED TO BRING YOUR DOG
INSIDE.
SHORTER WALKS, THAT'S A
GOOD MANTRA TO THINK ABOUT.
AND THIS IS IMPORTANT, SOME
KIND OF IDENTIFICATION TAG.
IF THEY HAPPEN TO GET LOST,
GOD FORBIDDEN, OR THEY DON'T
REALLY KNOW WHERE THEY'RE
GOING, THEY ARE ABLE TO HAVE
THOSE TAGS AND PEOPLE CAN
FIND THEM.
Wendy: WE WANT TO TALK
ABOUT SNOW SHOVELING BECAUSE
A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T DO
THIS THE RIGHT WAY.
THOMAS IS GOING TO
DEMONSTRATE THE RIGHT WAY.
HOW DO WE DO IT SO WE DON'T
HURT OURSELVES?
A HUNDRED PEOPLE DIE BY
SHOVELING SNOW THE WRONG WAY
EVERY YEAR.
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE END UP
WITH BACK INJURIES AND
MUSCULOSKELETAL INJURIES.
AND I USED TO THINK, THAT'S
SILLY.
THIS IS SUCH AN INTUITIVE
THING TO DO, UNTIL I DID
IT.
AND IT'S DIFFERENT.
I USED TO SHOVEL AS A KID,
THIS WAY.
STRAIGHT ON.
Wendy: THAT LOOKS LIKE
THE STRAIGHT WAY, BUT IT'S
NOT.
NO.
THINK ABOUT IT LIKE SNOW
SKIING, FACE DOWN THE
MOUNTAIN.
YOU'RE USING YOUR KNEES AND
NOT WORRYING ABOUT YOUR
ARMS.
Wendy: I'VE NEVER
SHOVELED SNOW IN MY LIFE.
YOU WANT TO FACE THE SNOW.
AND YOU DON'T WANT TO DO
THIS.
YOU WANT TO FACE THE SNOW.
THEN JUST
STRAIGHTFORWARD.
Wendy: SO YOU'RE STILL
FORWARD, BUT YOU'RE JUST
MOVING IT.
ALL RIGHT, I'M READY FOR
WINTER NOW.
YOU'VE GOT YOUR BASE
LAYER, YOUR OUTER LAYER, AND
YOU'VE GOT YOUR SHOVEL.
Wendy: THOMAS' BOOK IS
CALLED "NATIONAL
GEOGRAPHIC'S EXTREME WEATHER
SURVIVAL GUIDE," AND HE HAS
A KIDS' VERSION CALLED
"EXTREME WEATHER."
GOD BLESS YOU.
KEEP WARM.
ALL RIGHT, PAT, WE'RE
READY.
Pat: BLESS YOUR HEART.
WE'VE GOT SOME QUESTIONS
COMING IN.
SOMEBODY SAYS, "WHAT DOES
GOD HAVE IN STORE FOR HIS
PEOPLE WHO REJECT THE MARK
OF THE BEAST.
I DON'T AGREE TO RECEIVING
THE CHIP, AND THAT MEANS I
WON'T BE ABLE TO BUY FOOD."
Pat: I WOULDN'T SPEND A
LOT OF TIME WORRYING ABOUT
THAT.
IF YOU DON'T, YOU DON'T.
AND I JUST THINK, YOU KNOW,
IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS --
THERE ARE WORST THINGS THAN
DYING.
I JUST DON'T THINK WE'RE
GOING TO HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT
HAVING THE ANTI-CHRIST
COMING IN OUR LIFETIME.
MAYBE YES, MAYBE NO.
Wendy: WELL, WE DON'T
KNOW.
I HEARD THAT NOBODY KNOWS.
Pat: KEVIN SAYS, "I'M
HAVING A HEALTH CRISIS AND
THINKING ABOUT CONFESSING
ALL OF MY UNCONFESSED SINS.
ALSO, I'VE FORGIVEN EVERYONE
I CAN THINK ABOUT.
DO I NEED TO CONTACT PEOPLE
I HAVE BEEN UPSET WITH.
I MIGHT BE BRINGING UP
SOMETHING THEY MIGHT NOT
EVEN BE AWARE OF."
Pat: I THINK IT IS
BETWEEN YOU AND THE LORD.
THE BIBLE SAYS WHEN YOU
OFFER YOUR GIFT ON THE
ALTER, AND YOU REMEMBER
SOMEBODY HAS SOMETHING
AGAINST YOU, IN OTHER WORDS
YOU DID SOMETHING TO THEM
THAT MADE THEM MAD, GO TO
THAT PERSON AND MAKE IT
RIGHT AND THEN OFFER YOUR
GIFT.
THERE ARE TWO WAYS OF DOING
IT, WHEN YOU STAND PRAYING,
IF YOU HAVE OUGHT AGAINST
ANYONE, YOU GO TO THEM, AND
IF SOMEBODY HAS SOMETHING
AGAINST YOU, YOU GO TO THEM
AND HAVE THEM FORGIVE YOU.
BUT GOING TO SOMEBODY AND
SAYING I HAD
BAD
THOUGHTS
ABOUT YOU --
Wendy: IT MIGHT MAKE
THEM FEEL BAD.
Pat: I THINK THE
BIG
THING IS, DO
YOU HAVE
RESENTMENT IN YOUR HEART
AGAINST SOMEBODY ELSE.
WE LEAVE YOU WITH TODAY'S
POWER MINUTE FROM PSALM 91:
"HE WHO DWELLS IN THE
SHELTER OF THE MOST HIGH
WILL ABIDE IN THE SHADOW OF
THE ALMIGHTY, FOR HE WILL
DELIVER YOU FROM THE SNARE
OF THE FOWLER AND FROM THE
DEADLY PEST PESTILANCE."
TOMORROW, FROM AN ABUSED
CHILD TO A STRIPPER.
SEE HOW ONE WOMAN BREAKS THE
CYCLE OF SEXUAL ABUSE.
YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS THAT
TOMORROW.
FOR WENDY AND
ALL OF US,
THIS IS PAT ROBERTSON.
THANKS SO MUCH FOR BEING
WITH US.
AND WE WILL SEE YOU
TOMORROW.
BYE-BYE.
