A DYNASTY ON THE VERGE OF

COLLAPSE.

HEAR CONFESSIONS FROM ALAN

AND LISA ROBERTSON.

I NEVER WANTED TO BE

TRUTHFUL WITH MYSELF.

PLUS...AMBUSHED BY

AL-QAEDA.

I TOOK A ROUND IN THE

FACE, AND LIVED TO TELL

ABOUT IT.

I FELT LIKE I HAD NO

STRENGTH.

A HORROWING STORY ON

TODAY'S "700 CLUB."

Pat: WELL, WELCOME,

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, TO

THIS EDITION OF "THE 700

CLUB."

WHAT DO THEY SAY, IT'S COLD

OUTSIDE.

IF YOU CAN THINK OF POLAR

VORTEX, NOW WE'VE GOT

SOMETHING CALLED THE

SIBERIAN EXPRESS, AND

THEY'RE BLASTING ARCTIC AIR

DOWN INTO THE UNITED STATES

WITH BRUTALLY FREEZING

TEMPERATURES FOR MILLIONS OF

PEOPLE.

IT COULD BE SOME OF THE

COLDEST WEATHER IN PARTS OF

THE EAST COAST SINCE THE

19th CENTURY.

WELL, THE FRIGID WEATHER,

ALONG WITH SNOW AND ICE, IS

MAKING FOR DANGEROUS, IF NOT

DEADLY, TRAVEL CONDITIONS.

HEATHER SELLS HAS THE

STORY.

Reporter: THE NATION IS

BRACING FOR ANOTHER DEEP

FREEZE TODAY AND TOMORROW.

THE LATEST DOSE OF POLAR

VORTEX IS BRINGING A SURGE

OF SIBERIAN AIR THAT WILL

HIT 24 STATES AND UNLEASH

RECORD-BREAKING COLD.

I JUST WANT IT GONE.

Reporter: SUB-ZERO LOWS

WILL BLAST FROM THE MIDWEST

INTO THE WESTERN ATLANTIC

STATES TODAY, AND TOMORROW

FORECASTERS ARE LOOKING AT

LOWS OF -20° IN MICHIGAN,

INDIANA, KENTUCKY, OHIO, AND

HERE IN VIRGINIA.

THE COLD, PLUS SNOW, PLUS

ICE, HAS CREATED DANGEROUS

DRIVING CONDITIONS AND MANY

STATES.

IN TENNESSEE, A STATE OF

EMERGENCY, WHICH THE WEATHER

ENCRUSTED THIS PLANE IN

NASHVILLE, AND TURNED

STREETS INTO VIRTUAL SKATING

RINKS.

SCHOOLS ARE CLOSED IN MANY

PLACES FOR THE REST OF THE

WEEK.

IT IS TERRIBLE.

Reporter: FARMERS IN

SOUTHERN STATES ARE COVERING

UP THEIR CROPS TO PROTECT

THEM.

IN PHILADELPHIA, THEY USED

ICEBREAKERS TO KEEP THE

COMMERCIAL TRAVEL GOING.

IN BOSTON, HEAVY SNOW HAS

CAUSED MORE THAN 80 ROOFS TO

COLLAPSE.

AT THIS SKATING RINK, IT

SLID OFF THE ROOF AND BURIED

FIVE PEOPLE.

> IIN VIRGINIA BEACH,

ANOTHER RESCUE.

A NEIGHBOR CAME TO THE AID

OF TWO BROTHERS WHO FELL

THROUGH THE ICE INTO THIS

POND.

BOTH ARE OKAY.

EXPECT WINDCHILL ADVISORIES

IN 24 STATES, INCLUDING

FLORIDA AND A FEW SCENIC

SIGHTS ALONG THE WAY, LIKE

THE FROZEN SPECTACLE OF

NIAGARA FALLS.

IT IS BEAUTIFUL.

Pat: EVERYBODY WHO

LISTENED TO THE FARMERS

FARMERS' ALMANAC -- THEY ARE

RIGHT.

WELL, IT MAY BE FREEZING

COLD IN OUR NATION'S

CAPITAL, BUT PRESIDENT OBAMA

IS CATCHING HEAT FOR HIS

REFUSAL DURING A TERRORISM

SUMMIT, TO TALK ABOUT

ISLAMIC TERRORISM.

EFREM GRAHAM HAS THAT STORY

FROM THE CBN NEWS ROOM.

Efrem: PAT, THE

PRESIDENT IS AGAIN DENYING

ISLAM IS RESPONSIBLE FOR

TERRORISM.

SPEAKING AT THE WHITE HOUSE

CONFERENCE ON COUNTERING

VIOLENT EXTREMISM, HE SAYS

IT IS ABOUT BATTLING

EXTREMISM, NOT ISLAM, AND

TERRORISTS ARE PEOPLE WHO

HAVE PERVERTED ISLAM.

President Obama: THEY

NO MORE REPRESENT ISLAM THAN

ANY MAD MAN KILLS IN THE

NAME OF GOD REPRESENTS

CHRISTIANITY OR BUDDHISM OR

HINDUISM.

NO RELIGION IS RESPONSIBLE

FOR TERRORISM.

PEOPLE ARERESPONSIBLE FOR

VIOLENCEAND TERRORISM.

Efrem: THE PRESIDENT

REJECTED THE IDEA THAT ISLAM

IS INHERENTLY VIOLENT OR

THERE IS SOME SORT OF CLASH

OF CIVILIZATIONS.

HE SAYS HE DOESN'T WANT TO

MENTION ISLAM WHEN TALKING

ABOUT TERRORISM BECAUSE IT

WOULD GIVE ISLAMIC

TERRORISTS A TOOL FOR

RECRUITING PEOPLE.

TODAY'S NEW YORK POST SHOWS

A PICTURE OF THE PRESIDENT

BLINDFOLDED WITH THE CAPTION

"ISLAMIC TERROR, I JUST

DON'T SEE IT."

AND, PAT, MANY WOULD SAY

THAT DEPICTIONS ACCURATE.

Pat: WE HAVE A BOOK --

I MET WITH SOME ISLAMIC

SCHOLARS.

THEY SPEAK ARABIC.

THEY'RE EXPERTS ON THE

QURAN.

THEY'RE EXPERTS ON ISLAM.

THEY KNOW PRECISELY WHAT IS

GOING ON.

THEY PUT TOGETHER, ALONG

WITH SOME HELP, A BOOK

CALLED "ISLAM, RELIGION OF

PEACE AND WAR."

AND THEY GO BACK INTO THE

ORIGINS OF ISLAM.

AND THEY LOOK AT THE QURAN,

AND THE WRITINGS OF

MUHAMMAD, WHAT HE SAID AND

WHAT HE TOLD HIS FOLLOWERS

TO DO, AND WHAT HE ACTUALLY

DID, AND IT'S ALL THERE.

AND WHAT THE PRESIDENT IS

DOING -- WE TALK ABOUT

CLIMATE DENIERS, HE IS AN

HISTORICAL DENIER.

THE HISTORY OF ISLAM, THE

HISTORY OF THE ISLAMIC SWEEP

ACROSS SOUTH AFRICA IS

WELL-KNOWN TO ANY DECENT

HISTORIAN.

THESE RADICALS ARE NOT

DISTORTING THE QURAN.

THEY ARE LIVING THE PAGES OF

THE QURAN AND THE HAD

HADIF.

SO, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,

THIS BOOK YOU NEED RIGHT

NOW.

YOU NEED, "ISLAM, RELIGION

OF PEACE OR WAR."

WE'VE HAD ABOUT 350,000

COPIES SENT OUT.

AND WE'LL BE GLAD TO GIVE

YOU A COPY FREE.

BUT IT IS A VERY, VERY

IMPORTANT BOOK TO HAVE.

AND WE'LL GIVE IT TO YOU FOR

ABSOLUTELY NO COST.

IT IS A BEAUTIFUL THING,

BEAUTIFULLY ILLUSTRATED,

WITH ALL KINDS OF QUOTES

FROM THE QURAN, HADIF, AND

HI HISTORICAL BACKGROUND.

I THINK YOU NEED IT.

Efrem: PAT, THE WHITE

HOUSE PROMISED AN APPEAL

AFTER A FEDERAL JUDGE IN

TEXAS TEMPORARILY BLOCKED

THE PRESIDENT'S ACTION ON

ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS.

BUT AN APPEALS VICTORY IS

NOT ASSURED.

Reporter: THE JUDGE'S

DECISION EARLIER THIS WEEK

BLOCKED PRESIDENT OBAMA'S

EXECUTIVE ORDERS TO KEEP AS

MANY AS FIVE MILLION ILLEGAL

ALIENS FROM BEING DEPORTED.

President Obama: WE

EXPECTED A RULING.

I DISAGREE WITH IT.

I THINK THE LAWS ARE ON OUR

SIDE.

Reporter: IF AMNESTY

FOR ILLEGALS WERE OUTRAGED

BY THE JUDGE'S RULING, BUT

VIEWED THE COURT ORDER AS A

TEMPORARY SETBACK.

YOU NEVER WANT TO LOSE A

ROUND IN COURT, BUT WE ALSO

KNOW THIS IS A VERY EARLY

ROUND.

THIS IS AN INJUNCTION.

THE JUDGE DID NOT RULE ON

THE MERITS OF THE CASE.

THIS JUDGE WOULDN'T

LISTEN TO US.

AND IF HE WON'T LISTEN TO

US, WE'LL GO TO ANOTHER

JUDGE AND ANOTHER JUDGE

UNTIL HAY LISTEN TO US.

Reporter: BUT HANEN'S

RULING MAY BE HARD TO

CHALLENGE, AND THE WHITE

HOUSE FACES A DIFFICULT AND

POSSIBLY LENGTHY LEGAL

BATTLE.

PRESIDENT OBAMA VIOLATED

FEDERAL LAW.

THE PRESIDENT OVERSTEPPED

THE CONSTITUTIONAL

BOUNDARIES, AND THAT'S WHAT

WE'VE BEEN SAYING, MY

REPUBLICAN COLLEAGUES IN

CONGRESS FOR MONTHS NOW, AND

THE JUDGE WEIGHS IN AND

SAYS, YOU WERE RIGHT.

Reporter: BUT HANEN

DIDN'T RULE ON CONS

CONSTITUTIONALITY, BUT ON

PROCEDURE, WHICH THE OBAMA

ADMINISTRATION DID NOT

FOLLOW.

DALE HURD, CBN NEWS.

A COUPLE WHO REFUSED TO

PROVIDE FLOWERS FOR A GAY

WEDDING HAS BEEN FOUND

GUILTY OF BREAKING THE LAW.

THE JUDGE RULED THAT BARON

STUDSMAN, THE OWNER OF

ARLENE'S FLOWERS, VIOLATED

THE ANTI-DISCRIMINATION

LAWS.

THE JUDGE RULED WHILE

RELIGIOUS BELIEFS ARE

PROTECTED BY THE FIRST

AMENDMENT, ACTIONS BASED ON

THOSE BELIEFS AREN'T

NECESSARILY.

HE ALSO RULED STETMAN MUST

PROVIDE FULL WEDDING SUPPORT

FOR SAME-SEX CEREMONIES.

A POLL FOUND 57% OF

AMERICANS SAY

WEDDING-RELATED BUSINESSES,

LIKE FLORISTS, SHOULD BE

ALLOWED TO MAKE A DECISION.

Pat: I THINK THERE HAS

GOT TO BE SOME INTELLIGENT

JUDGE WHO WOULD RULE AGAINST

THIS.

THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS.

TO SAY SOME PROCEDURAL

ANOMALY IN THE STATUE

OVERRULES THE FUNDAMENTAL

RIGHTS OF THE PEOPLE IS

CRAZY.

I HOPE THE LAWYERS OF THE

FLORIST WILL APPEAL THIS

THING.

THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS.

TO TELL A FLORIST THAT SHE

HAS GOT TO PROVIDE FLOWERS

FOR A PARTICULAR KIND OF

WEDDING.

WHAT IF SOMEBODY WANTED TO

MARRY HIS DOG?

SHE'S GOT TO HAVE FLOWERS

FOR THAT?

WHAT IF THERE IS A

POLYGAMIST SITUATION WHERE A

GUY HAS FIVE WIVES, AND HE

WANTS TO HAVE FIVE

CEREMONIES, AND SHE IS GOING

TO BE FORCED BY THE LAW TO

PROVIDE THEM FLOWERS.

THIS IS CRAZY.

IT'S JUST THE KIND OF WAY

THAT THESE COURTS ARE GOING

IN INTERPRETING THIS STUFF.

I REMEMBER TALKING TO

CARDINAL OW O'CONNOR, AND

HE IS A MARVELOUS MAN OF

GOD.

WE WERE TALKING ABOUT GEORGE

WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY, AND

THEY HAD A CAMPUS GAY GROUP,

AND A FEDERAL COURT, I

BELIEVE -- A D.C. CITY COURT

HAD RULED THAT THEY HAD TO

PROVIDE ACCOMMODATIONS FOR

THIS GAY GROUP.

THEY HAD TO GIVE THEM

TELEPHONES AND OFFICE SPACE

AND ALL OF THE REST OF IT.

AND THAT WAS CONTRARY TO

CATHOLIC TEACHING.

I ASKED THE CARDINAL, WHAT

WOULD YOU DO IF YOU WERE IN

CHARGE OF IT?

AND HE SAID, I'D CLOSE THE

SCHOOL DOWN.

JUST LIKE THAT, I'D CLOSE IT

DOWN.

WELL, SOME OF THESE BAKE

BAKERS AND FLORISTS MAY BE

PUSHED OUT OF BUSINESS IF

THE COURTS MAKE THEM DO

THINGS CONTRARY TO THEIR

BELIEFS.

> WELL, IT'S A COLD DAY,

EVEN HERE IN SUNNY VIRGINIA

BEACH.

WE ARE BREAKING RECORDS.

THE COLDEST DAY TODAY IN 20

YEARS.

AND IT'S GOING TO BE COLDER

TONIGHT.

BUT THERE IS HOPE.

AND EFREM HAS SOME GOOD NEWS

ON HOW YOU CAN STAY

HEALTHY.

Efrem: INDEED, PAT.

THERE MAY BE MORE FRUITS AND

VEGETABLES AND HEALTHY

OPTIONS AVAILABLE THAN EVER

BEFORE.

BUT THE WORLD IS STILL

MOSTLY HUNGRY FOR JUNK

FOOD.

THAT IS ACCORDING TO A STUDY

OF SELF-REPORTED SURVEYS OF

EATING HABITS IN NEARLY 190

COUNTRIES FROM 1990 TO 2010,

PUBLISHED ONLINE IN THE

JOURNAL LANCET MEDICAL

HEALTH.

THERE HAS BEEN A BIGGER JUMP

IN THE AMOUNT OF JUNK FOOD

PEOPLE ARE EATING.

PEOPLE IN WESTERN COUNTRIES

ARE AMONG THE BIGGEST EATERS

OF JUNK FOOD, BUT CHINA AND

INDIA ARE CATCHING UP.

AS REPORTED, PAT, THESE

FOODS ARE ADDICTIVE.

Pat: THEY CAN DESTROY

THE WORLD.

THERE SHOULD BE SOME KIND OF

A TV SPECIAL ON MICKEY

"D"'S.

I WAS IN CHINA, AND I HAD

THE BEST KENTUCKY FRIED

CHICKEN IN MY LIFE, IN

BEIJING.

Terry: RIGHT AT THE

GREAT WALL.

Pat: WHEREVER.

ANYHOW, THEY'RE CATCHING UP

FAST, AND WE'RE DESTROYING

THEM.

WHAT IS IT THAT IS MAKING

THEM WANT TO EAT MORE?

IT'S HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN

SYRUP.

IT SETS UP A CRAVING.

AND IF YOU PUT THAT STUFF IN

FOOD, IT WILL CAUSE PEOPLE

TO WANT MORE THERE OF.

AND THE FOOD PURVEYORS KNOW

THAT, AND THEY'RE LOADING IT

UP WITH THE KIND OF SUGAR

THAT IS DESTROYING OUR

HEALTH.

TERRY?

Terry: WELL, UP NEXT, A

GROWING TREND IN THE MIDDLE

EAST.

MORE AND MORE CHRISTIANS ARE

ENLISTING IN THE ISRAELI

DEFENSE FORCE.

FIND OUT WHY.

THAT'S COMING UP.

PLUS, A RETIRED NAVY SEAL

WHO IS USING HIS BATTLE

SCARS TO HELP OTHER WOUNDED

WARRIORS.

Pat: WE'VE SEEN THE

HIDEOUS ATROCITIES OF ISIS

AGAINST CHRISTIANS.

AND CHRISTIANS ARE FLEEING

FROM ISLAMIC MURDER AND

PERSECUTION ACROSS THE

MIDDLE EAST.

BUT ONE COUNTRY PROVIDES A

SAFE HAVEN AND A NEW LIFE

FROM THEM.

AND IT'S ISRAEL.

SCOTT ROSS TAKES US TO

NAZARETH, WHERE ARAB

CHRISTIANS ARE FIGHTING FOR

THE JEWISH STATE, AND ALSO

TO RECLAIM THEIR OWN LOST

HERITAGE.

HERE IS SCOTT.

Reporter: GREEK

ORTHODOX PRIEST, FATHER

GABRIELLE, LIVES AND

MINISTERS IN NAZARETH.

ALTHOUGH JESUS WAS BORN IN

BETHLEHEM, THIS IS THE CITY

HE WAS RAISED IN, NAZARETH.

IT IS ALSO, TODAY, THE

LARGEST CHRISTIAN CITY IN

ISRAEL.

MOST CHRISTIANS IN THE

MIDDLE EAST COME FROM

CATHOLIC OR ORTHODOX

TRADITIONS.

THEY PEOPLE WHO FOUNDED THE

CHRISTIAN ISRAELI FORUM IS

SO CONTROVERSIAL, THAT THE

GREEK ORTHODOX CHURCH

THREATENED TO DEFROCK HIM,

AND POLICE MUST PROTECT HIM

WITH THIS ALARM AROUND THE

CLOCK.

DESPITE ALL OF THE

THREATS AND THE INCITEMENT

AGAINST ME, I WILL NOT TURN

BACK FROM MY WAY, OR I'LL

DIE.

OR THERE WILL BE MORE OF

THIS WAY.

IF I DON'T DIE, I CONTINUE

UNTIL THE END.

Reporter: IF GOD IS FOR

YOU, WHO CAN BE AGAINST

YOU?

RIGHT.

Reporter: HIS DEFENSE,

SAYING HE IS NOT AN ARAB,

RECLAIMING HIS ARAME IN

HERITAGE, AND ENCOURAGING

YOUNG CHRISTIANS TO

INTEGRATE INTO ISRAELI

SOCIETY.

YOU'RE ENCOURAGING YOUNG

PEOPLE TO SERVE IN THE

ISRAELI DEFENSE FORCES.

WHY ARE YOU DOING THAT?

BECAUSE WE WANT TO

PROTECT THE STATE THAT IS

PROTECTING US.

Reporter: UNTIL

RECENTLY, ISRAEL AND THE

REST OF THE WORLD CONSIDERED

NADATH AT MOSNADATH AND

MOST OF THE 160,000

CHRISTIANS IN ISRAEL AS

ARAB-ISRAELIS, ALONG WITH

THE LARGE MUSLIM MINORITY.

BUT HE AND OTHERS SAY THAT

IS NOT TRUE.

I WAS RAISED AS A

CHRISTIAN, AND I I BELIEV I

BELIEVE IN CHRIST.

I WENT TO CHURCH EACH

SUNDAY.

THE OPENING SERMON WAS IN

ARMAIC, SO I WAS USED TO

IT.

Reporter: HE IS

CHAIRMAN FORTHE ARAME

CHRISTIAN SOCIETY IN

ISRAEL.

MANY BELIEVE THAT JESUS

SPOKE ARAME WHEN HE WAS ON

THE EARTH.

IT WAS CREATED ONLY 100

YEARS AGO BY AN ARABIST

THEOLOGY.

WE ARE ARAMEIC POPULATION,

WHO INHABITED HIS AREA

DURING THAT TIME.

WE PRESENT OUR NATIONAL

DIDN'TTITY AN IDENTITY AND

OUR RELIGIOUS IDENTITY FOR

4,900 YEARS, AND NOW BECAUSE

WE ARE FORCED, WE BECAME

ARABS.

I'M NOT ARAB.

Reporter: RECENTLY

ISRAEL BECAME THE FIRST

MIDDLE EAST COUNTRY TO

RECOGNIZE ARAME AND

CHRISTIANS AS AN OFFICIAL

MINORITY.

AND IN OCTOBER, HIS

2-YEAR-OLD SON, YACKOFF

BECAME THE FIRST PERSON IN

HISTORY TO BE REGISTERED AS

ARAMEAN.

AND HE WAS ALSO AHEAD OF OF

THE CURVE WHEN IT CAME TO

ENLISTING IN THE ARMY.

YOU JOINED THE I.D.F., WHY

DID YOU CHOOSE TO DO THAT?

I BELIEVE THAT ISRAEL IS

MY COUNTRY.

I LIVE HERE.

THIS IS THE COUNTRY THAT

PROTECTS ME AS A CHRISTIAN.

I LIVE HERE IN FREEDOM.

IF I COMPARE MYSELF TO OTHER

CHRISTIANS IN THE MIDDLE

EAST AND THE WAY THEY LIVE,

I HAVE FREEDOM OF SPEECH.

I HAVE FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT.

I HAVE FREEDOM IN ANYTHING.

Reporter: HOW DO

ISRAELI SOLDIERS TREAT YOU?

IN THE ARMY, WE'RE ALL

EQUAL.

THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE

BETWEEN JEWISH OR ARAMAIC,

ON EVEN ARABS.

Reporter: WHAT ABOUT

ARABS, HOW DO THEY TREAT

YOU?

I FACED A LOT OF ARABS

WHO SAY YOU HAVE BETRAYED

THE ARABS.

THEY DON'T HAVE FREEDOM OR

INDEPENDENCE OF WHICH SIDE

TO CHOOSE.

THEY WANT YOU TO BE ARAB,

AND THEY FORCE YOU TO BE AN

ARAB AGAINST YOUR WILL.

Reporter: AND HE SAYS

IT IS ALSO IMPORTANT FOR

YOUNG CHRISTIANS TO JOIN

BECAUSE IT HELPS THEM TO BE

PART OF THE COUNTRY.

THE I.D.F. IN ISRAEL IS

CONSIDERED TO BE SCHOOL FOR

THE ISRAELI SOCIETY.

SO IF YOU JOIN THE SERVICE

FOR THREE YEARS, YOU WILL

EAT WITH THEM, LEARN WITH

THEM, TALK WITH THEM.

THEY WILL KNOW ABOUT YOUR

SIDE OF IDENTITY, AND YOU

WILL HAVE A BETTER CHANCE TO

INTEGRATE INTO THE ISRAELI

SOCIETY.

Reporter: IN ONE YEAR,

CHRISTIAN ENLISTMENT

INCREASED SIGNIFICANTLY.

BUT MANY ARABIC SPEAKING

CHRISTIANS STILL RESIST WHEN

IT COMES TO INTEGRATING INTO

ISRAEL.

HADATH SAYS SINCE THE

FOUNDING OF THE STATE OF

ISRAEL, NO ONE TOLD

CHRISTIANS OF THEIR

CONNECTION TO JUDAISM.

THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND

THAT CHRISTIANITY COMES FROM

JUDAISM, THAT THE ROOTS OF

CHRISTIANITY ARE ALSO FROM

THIS LAND.

AND IF THE JEWS LEAVE THE

LAND OF ISRAEL, THERE ALSO

WON'T BE CHRISTIANS HERE.

Reporter: THERE ARE

MILLIONS OF PEOPLE

THROUGHOUT THE WORLD THAT

WILL SEE THIS.

CHRISTIANS -- HOW WOULD YOU

WANT THESE PEOPLE THAT SEE

THIS TO PRAY FOR YOU?

I WANT THEM TO PRAY FOR

US, FOR THEIR BROTHERS, THE

CHRISTIANS HERE, FOR THE

SUCCESS OF THE PROCESS OF

INTEGRATION.

BECAUSE IF IF THERE IS

INTEGRATION, THERE WILL BE

TRUE LOVE AND WE WILL LIVE

IN PEACE WITH OUR NEIGHBORS

HERE, IN THE STATE OF

ISRAEL.

TOGETHER WITH THE JEWS, WE

WILL PROTECT THE LAND OF

ISRAEL.

Reporter: SCOTT ROSS,

IN NAZARETH.

Pat: BECAUSE THEY ARE

THE ONLY TRUE DEMOCRACY IN

THE ENTIRE MIDDLE EAST.

AND THEY ARE OUR FRIENDS AND

ALLIES.

TERRY?

Terry: WELL, COMING UP,

CANDID CONFESSIONS FROM

"DUCK DYNASTY'S" ALAN AND

LISA ROBERTSON.

I DON'T WANT YOU HERE.

I DON'T WANT YOU IN OUR

HOUSE.

I DON'T WANT TO SLEEP IN THE

SAME BED WITH YOU.

Terry: ALAN AND LISA

TALK ABOUT WHAT SHATTER

THEIR RELATIONSHIP AND

HELPED THEIR MARRIAGE, AFTER

THIS.

Terry: ALAN AND LISA

ROBERTSON WERE CHILDHOOD

SWEETHEARTS.

WHEN YOU WATCH THEM TEK

TOGETHER ON TV'S "DUCK

DYNASTY", THEY'RE STILL VERY

MUCH IN LOVE.

WHAT YOU DON'T SEE ARE THE

YEARS OF LYING, CHEATING,

AND ADULTERY THAT THEIR

RELATIONSHIP SURVIVED.

NOW THE COUPLE IS SHARING

THEIR ROCKY PAST TO BRING

HEALING AND HOPE TO OTHER

AT-RISK MARRIAGES.

HE WAS A HOTTIE.

I'VE BEEN IN LOVE WITH HIM

SINCE I WAS IN THE SIXTH

GRADE.

I THOUGHT, THIS IS MY

DESTINY, THIS IS THE PERSON

I'M SUPPOSED TO BE WITH.

I NEVER WOULD HAVE THOUGHT

THAT ANYTHING BAD COULD

HAPPEN.

YOU JUST THINK THAT IT IS A

HAPPILY EVER AFTER.

EVERYBODY THINKS THAT.

IT WASN'T TOO LONG INTO OUR

MARRIAGE WHERE WE REALIZED

THAT WAS NOT THE CASE.

I WAS VERY INDEPENDENT IN

MY BEHAVIOR AND I SORT OF

LIVED THE WAY I LIVED AT A

SINGLE PERSON.

ALAN WAS WORKING FOR THE

CHURCH.

HE WAS VERY INVOLVED.

WE HAD TWO YOUNG CHILDREN,

SO I HAD TO STAY HOME WITH

THEM.

SO I KIND OF FELT

ABANDONED.

I WAS LOOKING FOR SOMEBODY

TO LOVE ME FOR ME.

SOMEONE CALLS, AND IT'S

SOMEBODY THAT I, YOU KNOW,

HAD A RELATIONSHIP WITH.

ONE SMALL TALK LED TO MORE

TALK, AND, YOU KNOW, THAT

LED TO A MEETING, AND THEN

IT LASTED FOR 14 MONTHS.

I THINK IT WAS JUST THE

DARKNESS THAT I HAD NEVER

REALLY GOTTEN RID OF, BEING

SEXUALLY MOLESTED AS A

CHILD.

SO I THOUGHT FROM THAT POINT

FORWARD, THIS IS WHAT I'M

SUPPOSED TO BE.

I'M SUPPOSED TO BE A PLEASER

OF MEN.

OF COURSE, THAT'S MESSED UP

THINKING.

THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED

WHENEVER AT AN EARLY AGE

SOMETHING SO DETRIMENTAL

HAPPENS IN YOUR LIFE.

IT WAS SOMETHING THAT TOOK

HOLD, AND I NEVER COULD GET

MYSELF OUT OF IT.

I NEVER WANTED TO BE

TRUTHFUL WITH MYSELF, AS TO

WHO I WAS AND WHAT I HAD

BECOME.

I WOULD PRAY TO GOD, I WANT

OUT, BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO

GET OUT.

HE KEPT OPENING DOORS, BUT

THOSE DOORS WERE ALWAYS FOR

ME TO TELL THE TRUTH.

AND THAT WAS THE ONE THING I

NEVER COULD DO BECAUSE I

THOUGHT, I DON'T WANT TO

HURT ALAN.

I HAD ENOUGH INFORMATION

THAT I WAS READY TO CONFRONT

HER.

I WANTED LISA TO TELL THE

TRUTH.

FINALLY WHEN SHE BROKE

EMOTIONALLY, WHEN SHE TOLD

THE TRUTH, MY FIRST FEELING

WAS NOT ANGER, WAS NOT

RESENTMENT.

IT WAS RELIEF.

ALL OF A SUDDEN IT IS LIKE

THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE.

AT THAT POINT, I WAS, LIKE,

I DON'T WANT YOU HERE.

I DON'T WANT YOU IN OUR

HOUSE.

I DON'T WANT TO SLEEP IN THE

SAME BED WITH YOU.

BUT FOR THE FUTURE, I DON'T

KNOW.

WE'LL HAVE TO SEE.

MY WHOLE LIFE HAD BEEN

BUILT AROUND ALAN.

I THINK ALL I HAD ACTUALLY

DONE WAS TO MAKE ALAN THE

LORD OF MY LIFE.

I DIDN'T HAVE A RELATIONSHIP

WITH GOD.

I HAD JUST BEEN SITTING ON A

PEW FOR 15 YEARS, LISTENING,

BUT NOTHING EVER

PENETRATED.

NOTHING EVER WENT INTO MY

HEART AND CHANGED MY HEART.

I HAVE NOTHING.

WITHOUT GOD, I HAVE

NOTHING.

I FINALLY JUST WENT AND

SAID, GOD, YOU'RE ALL I

HAVE.

WHAT DO I NEED TO DO?

SHOW ME HOW TO GET PAST

THIS?

I HAD A GROUP OF LADIES THAT

I STUDIED WITH.

ABOUT THREE WEEKS INTO IT, I

SAID, YOU KNOW WHAT?

I DON'T THINK I HAVE GOD'S

SPIRIT.

I THINK THAT IS WHAT IS

MISSING FOR ME.

I THOUGHT THE WAY FOR ME TO

GET GOD'S SPIRIT WAS FOR ME

TO BE BAPTIZED.

SO ME AND THAT GROUP OF

LADIES WENT TO A POOL, AND I

WAS BAPTIZED.

I PUT IT ALL OUT THERE ON

THE LINE.

I TOOK THAT SHAME AND I LAID

ALL OF IT AT THE FOOT OF THE

CROSS, AND CHRIST TOOK IT.

AND I FELT RELIEF FROM ALL

THESE BURDENS, FROM ALL OF

THE PROBLEMS THAT I HAD

HAD.

BEING MOLESTED, AND I FEET

FELT AN MOLEST WASHING OF

ALL OF THAT.

AT THAT POINT, I THOUGHT, I

CAN DO ANYTHING.

EVEN IF ALAN AND I DON'T GET

BACK TOGETHER, I STILL HAVE

MY RELATIONSHIP WITH

CHRIST.

SHE WAS FINALLY DOING IT

FOR THE RIGHT REASONS IN HER

RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD,

SEPARATE FROM ME.

I SAW IN HER A TRUE LIFE

CHANGE.

AN INNER LIFE CHANGE THAT

SHE WENT THROUGH WHEN SHE

REALLY MADE JESUS HER LORD.

WHEN WE MADE THE DECISION TO

GET BACK TOGETHER -- I

DIDN'T WANT TO JUST BE,

EVERYTHING IS GREAT, MOVE ON

BACK.

WE HAD A VOW REMOVAL, BUT IT

WAS PERSONAL AND PRIVATE THE

TWO OF US.

WE GOT NEW RINGS AND WE

STARTED OUR LIVES AGAINST AS

HUSBAND AND WIFE.

THAT WAS PROBABLY THE ONE

GREATEST GIFT THAT I EVER

RECEIVED, HIS FORGIVENESS.

IT WAS VERY RAW AT THE

TIME.

IT WAS VERY TOUGH.

EVERY DAY I DIDN'T WAKE UP

SAYING I'M THE BEST, I'M

FORGIVING.

IT TOOK A LOT OF GROWTH AND

IT TOOK A LOT OF LOVE AND A

LOT OF TIME TO LIVE THAT

FORGIVENESS OUT.

IT IS SHAMEFUL, THE

THINGS THAT I'VE DONE IN MY

LIFE.

BUT THAT SHAME DOES NOT

DEFINE ME.

THE THING THAT DEFINES ME IS

FORGIVENESS AND GRACE, AND

JUST BEING THE WOMAN THAT I

NEED TO BE.

A CHRISTIAN AND GODLY WIFE

AND WOMAN AND MOTHER AND

GRANDMOTHER AND FRIEND.

AND GOD HAS PUT US IN THE

POSITION NOW WHERE WE'RE ON

NATIONAL TELEVISION, WE'RE

WRITING BOOKS, WE'RE ALL

OVER THE PLACE.

ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU REALIZE

WE'RE IN THIS PLACE I NEVER

COULD HAVE IMAGINED US

BEING.

THE RELATIONSHIP WE HAVE

NOW IS SOMETHING I NEVER

COULD HAVE IMAGINED US

HAVING.

I WAKE UP EVERY DAY AND

THINK, COULD I LOVE THIS MAN

ANY MORE?

AND THE NEXT DAY I WAKE UP,

AND I LOVE HIM MORE THAN I

DID THE DAY BEFORE.

THAT'S GOD.

HE GIVES US THAT.

HE GIVES US THE ABILITY TO

LOVE EXPEDENTIALLY, MORE

THAN WE EVER THOUGHT WE

COULD.

I'M PRAYING THAT THERE IS

MARRIAGE IN HEAVEN.

I WANT TO BE MARRIED TO HIM

FOREVER.

SHE'S STILL HOPING.

I'M STILL ASKING GOD TO

CHANGE HIS MIND.

HE MAY CHANGE HIS MIND BY

THE TIME WE GET THERE, I

DON'T KNOW.

Terry: I LOVE THIS

STORY BECAUSE IT SO SHOWS

THE CHARACTER OF GOD.

WHEN WE JUST LISTEN TO WHAT

HE SAYS IN GUIDING US AND

LOVING US, AND WANTING TO

HEAL US.

LISA SAID, I'M NOT ANY

LONGER DEFINED BY MY SHAME.

YOU KNOW WHEN WE'RE DEFINED

BY OUR SHAME?

WHEN WE HIDE IT.

WHEN WE TRY TO PRETEND WE

HAVEN'T DONE THE TERRIBLE

THINGS WE HAVE DONE, WHEN WE

PUT OUT THERE A FALSE FRONT

OF WHO WE ARE.

WHEN WE OPENLY SAY I AM A

SINNER IN NEED OF A SAVIOR,

AND, JESUS, IF YOU DON'T

COME AND SAVE ME, I AM

UNDONE.

THERE IS NO OTHER HOPE FOR

ME.

AT THAT POINT WHEN WE COME

TO THE END OF OURSELVES AND

WE STOP TRYING TO FIX IT

OURSELVES OR DECIDE WHAT

WE'RE GOING TO BE OR WHAT

WE'RE GOING TO DO, HE STEPS

IN.

AND WHAT A POWERFUL

REDEMPTION STORY THIS IS.

YOU KNOW, THE GREAT THING IS

THAT IT IS FOR ALL OF US.

ALL OF US.

WHO SO EVER WILL, MAY COME.

IS THERE SOMETHING IN YOUR

LIFE?

MAYBE IT IS YOUR MARRIAGE

THAT HAS FALLEN APART.

MAYBE IT IS SOMETHING ELSE.

LISA TALKED ABOUT SOME OF

THE THINGS THAT HAPPENED TO

HER IN HER CHILDHOOD AND SHE

MENTIONED THEM BRIEFLY.

BUT SOMETIMES THOSE THINGS

ARE SO DEVASTATING TO US

PSYCHOLOGICAL, EMOTIONALLY,

SPIRITUALLY, THAT WE LET

THEM DEFINE WHO WE ARE.

TODAY YOU CAN HAVE A FEW

BEGINNING.

YOU REALLY, REALLY CAN.

IT IS NOT JUST FOR A FEW.

HOW DO YOU GET THERE FROM

HERE?

FIRST OF ALL, YOU

ACKNOWLEDGE YOU'RE A

SINNER.

THE BIBLE SAYS ALL OF US

HAVE SINNED.

NOW, THERE ARE SOME SPECIFIC

SINS THAT HAVE HAPPENED IN

MY LIFE AND IN YOURS, AND

GOD WANTS YOU TO LAY THOSE

OUT BEFORE HIM.

IT IS NOT BECAUSE HE DOESN'T

KNOW WHAT THEY ARE, BUT

BECAUSE YOU NEED TO KNOW

YOUR SET FREE FROM THEM.

IDENTIFY THOSE THINGS AND

THEN ASK JESUS, WHO PAID THE

ULTIMATE COST FOR THAT, TO

FORGIVE YOUR SINS AND TO

GIVE YOU A BRAND NEW

BEGINNING, A FRESH START.

I DON'T KNOW ANY OTHER PLACE

WHERE YOU GET THAT.

WHERE IT IS GENUINE, WHERE

IT IS REAL, WHERE YOU

ACTUALLY FIND OUT YOU WERE

CREATED WITH A PLAN AND A

PURPOSE IN MIND BY A GOD WHO

IS IN LOVE WITH YOU.

IT SAYS THAT HE HAS GIVEN

YOU A NEW NAME.

AND IT HAS CARVED IT IN THE

PALM OF HIS HAND.

THAT YOU ARE NO LONGER

CALLED DESERTED OR

ABANDONED.

YOU'RE HIS CHILD.

HIS LOVE.

HIS DELIGHT IS IN YOU.

WOULDN'T YOU LIKE TO KNOW

THAT TODAY.

WOULDN'T YOU LIKE THAT

WEIGHT, THAT BURDEN, TO COME

OFF OF YOU?

TO HAVE A FRESH BEGINNING.

TO HAVE YOUR HEART CHANGED.

THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS.

GOD REALLY DOES SPIRITUAL

SURGERY ON OUR HEARTS, AND

IT CHANGES THE WAY WE THINK,

THE WAY WE RESPOND TO

THINGS.

YOU REALLY BECOME A BRAND

NEW CREATION.

JUST AS THE LORD SAYS, IF

ANY MAN IS IN CHRIST, HE

BECOMES A BRAND NEW

CREATION.

OLD THINGS PASS AWAY.

ALL THINGS BECOME BRAND

NEW.

THAT'S FOR YOU TODAY.

IF YOU'D LIKE TO PRAY WITH

SOMEONE ABOUT WHATEVER THE

NEED IN YOUR LIFE IS, IF

YOU'D LIKE TO TELL SOMEONE

THAT YOU'VE PRAYED THIS

PRAYER, THAT YOU'VE

COMMITTED YOUR LIFE TO

CHRIST, THAT YOU WANT TO BE

REDEFINED BY WHO HE IS,

RATHER THAN BY WHAT YOU'VE

DONE OR HOW YOU'VE LIVED,

THEN CALL THAT TOLL-FREE

NUMBER ON YOUR SCREEN:

1-800-759-0700.

WHEN YOU CALL, BY THE WAY,

WE'D LOVE TO GIVE YOU, IF

YOU PRAYED THE PRAYER OF

COMMITMENT, "A NEW DAY."

THIS IS A PACKET PAT.

TOGETHER.

PAT?

Pat: STILL AHEAD, HE

WAS GUNNED DOWN BY

AL-QAEDA.

I TOOK A ROUND FROM THE

RIGHT SIDE THAT CAUGHT ME IN

THE FACE.

I CALLED OUT TO GOD, AND I

SAID, HEY, GIVE ME STRENGTH

TO GO HOME.

Pat: MEET A REAL

AMERICAN HERO.

RETIRED NAVY SEAL LIEUTENANT

JASON REDMOND, COMING UP.

AND HIS BOOK, "TRIDENT."

Efrem: AND WELCOME BACK

TO "THE 700 CLUB" FOR THIS

CBN NEWSBREAK.

A FORMER FIRE CHIEF IS SUING

THE MAYOR AND THE CITY OVER

HIS DISMISSAL.

HE ALLEGES THAT HE WAS FIRED

BECAUSE OF HIS RELIGIOUS

BELIEFS AND VIOLATED HIS

CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS.

HE WAS FIRED IN JANUARY

AFTER CALLING HOMOSEXUALITY

VULGAR AND THE OPPOSITE OF

PURITY IN HIS BOOK TITLED

"WHO TOLD YOU YOU WERE

NAKED."

> THE SUPREME COURT HAS

AGAIN REJECTED AN APPEAL

FROM A SMALL CHURCH IN THE

BRONX THAT TRIED TO OVERTURN

NEW YORK CITY'S BAN ON

AFTER-HOURS RELIGIOUS

WORSHIP SERVICES IN PUBLIC

SCHOOLS.

THE BRONX HOUSEHOLD OF FAITH

HELD SERVICES FOR 12 YEARS,

UNTIL LAST SUMMER, WHEN THE

CHURCH COMPLETED ITS OWN

BUILDING NEAR THE SCHOOL.

BUT THE CHURCH SAYS IT STILL

NEEDS EXTRA SPACE FOR

RELIGIOUS SERVICE.

THE SUPREME COURT HAS

REJECTED THE APPEAL IN A

LAWSUIT THAT HAS LASTED 18

YEARS.

REMEMBER, YOU CAN ALWAYS GET

THE LATEST FROM CBN NEWS BY

GOING TO OUR WEBSITE AT

CBNNEWS.COM.

PAT AND TERRY ARE BACK WITH

MORE OF "THE 700 CLUB" RIGHT

AFTER THIS.

Pat: HEROS, THOSE WHO

SERVE.

YOU CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT GOES

THROUGH THE MINDS OF THESE

BRAVE WARRIORS.

BUT WE HAVE ONE HERE TODAY

WHO WAS WOUNDED TERRIBLY IN

BATTLE AGAINST A FORCE IN

IRAQ CALLED AL-QAEDA.

JASON REDMOND DIDN'T WANT

ANY PITY FROM ANYBODY.

HE SAID, LOOK, WHEN YOU SEE

ME, I DON'T WANT ANY

SYMPATHY.

HE HAS WRITTEN A BOOK CALLED

"THE TRIDENT," THE STORY OF

A NAVY SEAL.

IT IS QUITE A STORY OF

VALOR.

IT IS PLEASURE TO WELCOME

RIGHT NOW TO "THE 700 CLUB"

OUR NEXT GUEST, HE IS THE

AUTHOR OF THIS BOOK,

LIEUTENANT JASON REDMOND.

Reporter: IN 2007, NAVY

SEAL LIEUTENANT JASON

REDMOND AND HIS TEAM WERE

BATTLING al-QAEDA IN

IRAQ.

DURING A FIREFIGHT, JASON

GOT SHOT IN HIS LEFT ARM.

I WAS TURNED, TRYING TO

ADDRESS THAT ARM WOUND WHEN

I TOOK A ROUND IN THE RIGHT

SIDE THAT CAUGHT ME IN THE

FACE.

Reporter: JASON KNEW HE

WAS BLEEDING OUT, AND HE

FELT THE LIFE LEAVING HIS

BODY.

I CALLED OUT TO GOD, AND

I SAID, HEY, GIVE ME

STRENGTH TO GO HOME.

AND IN THAT MOMENT, I FELT

LIKE I HAD STRENGTH.

Reporter: IN HIS BOOK

"THE TRIDENT," JASON SHARES

HOW HIS EXTRAORDINARY

DEVOTION TO HIS WIFE AND

KIDS BROUGHT HIM SAFELY

HOME.

Pat: PLEASE WELCOME TO

"THE 700 CLUB," RETIRED NAVY

SEAL, LIEUTENANT JASON

REDMOND.

JASON, I HAVE READ THIS BOOK

AND IT IS FASCINATING.

YOU WERE IN A FIREFIGHT IN

al-QAEDA AS A SEAL.

YOU'RE A NAVY SEAL.

AND HOW DID YOU GET INTO AN

ENGAGEMENT WITH AL-QAEDA?

WERE YOU EXPECTING THAT TO

COME OFF?

ON THAT MISSION, YES.

IN THAT AREA WHERE WE WERE

WORKING OUTSIDE OF FALLUJAH,

IT WAS AN AL-QAEDA

STRONG-HOLD.

AND THAT NIGHT WE HAD GONE

AFTER A HIGH-LEVEL LEADER.

AND EVERY TIME WE WENT INTO

THAT AREA, WE HAD GOTTEN

INTO FIRE FIGHTS.

Pat: THE THING OPENED

UP PRETTY BADLY.

AS I UNDERSTAND, YOU FELT

THEY SHOT YOUR ARM OFF?

THE FIRST ROUNDS, WE

WALKED INTO AN AMBUSH

SITUATION.

TWO PKM MACHINE GUNS HAD US

IN A CROSS-FIRE.

AND THE FIRST ONE STITCHED

ACROSS MY BODY ARMOR AND

WENT INTO MY ELBOW.

IT DEADENED ALL OF MY

NERVES.

AND WHEN I REACHED OVER, I

COULDN'T FEEL IT, SO I

THOUGHT IT HAD BEEN SHOT

OFF.

Pat: AND YOU SAID, GO

BACK AND FIND MY ARM, BUT

YOU REALLY HAD IT AT THE

TIME?

YES.

Pat: ANOTHER ROUND

CAUGHT YOU IN THE FACE?

IT DID.

WE HAD VERY LIMITED POINTS

OF COVER WHERE WE WALKED

INTO THAT AMBUSH.

SO I GOT UP TO TRY TO MOVE

BACK TO MY GUYS.

THERE WAS A TRACTOR TIRE

ABOUT 15 YARDS BEHIND ME,

AND I TURNED TO TRY TO MAKE

IT BACK TO THAT TIRE.

AND ANOTHER ENEMY FIGHTER

ENGAGED ME, AND IT TRAVELLED

THROUGH MY FACE, TAKING OFF

MY NOSE, AND KNOCKING ME

UNCONSCIOUS.

Pat: HOW MANY SURGERIES

DID YOU HAVE TO UNDERGO WHEN

THEY BROUGHT YOU BACK?

37.

Pat: ARE YOU SERIOUS?

37 SERIOUS?

YES.

Pat: YOU WERE SO

HIDEOUS PEOPLE TURNED THEIR

FACES AWAY FROM YOU.

DID YOU HAVE A HOLE WHERE

THAT HAD GONE THROUGH?

I DID.

AND A LOT OF INFECTION

PROBLEMS.

SO THERE WAS A LITTLE BIT

LEFT OF MY NOSE, BUT AS THEY

WENT THROUGH, THEY KEPT

HAVING TO CUT MORE AND MORE

AWAY.

UNTIL FINALLY AT ONE POINT I

HAD NOTHING LEFT.

I HAD A HOLE AND I HAD TO

WEAR A PATCH AS I WENT

AROUND.

AND THEN THE LONG PROCESS OF

BEING PUT BACK TOGETHER.

Pat: WHAT DID YOU FEEL

IN YOUR HEART?

DID YOU FEEL ABANDONED OR

ASHAMED OR WHAT?

WHAT WENT THROUGH YOUR MIND,

ANGER?

IN THAT MOMENT, WHEN I

WAS LAYING THERE DYING?

Pat: YEAH.

ANGER AT FIRST.

ANGRY THAT I HAD ALLOWED

MYSELF AND MY MEN TO GET IN

THAT POSITION.

ANGER AT THE THOUGHT THAT

THESE VICIOUS FIGHTERS HAD

ENDED UP HAVING THE

SATISFACTION OF TAKING MY

LIFE.

AND THEN AFTER THAT, I

ACCEPTED THE FACT THAT I WAS

GOING TO DIE IN THAT

MOMENT.

I COULD PHYSICALLY FEEL IT.

AND IN THAT MOMENT, I WAS

SAD.

I THOUGHT ABOUT MY FAMILY.

I THOUGHT ABOUT MY CHILDREN,

AND THAT I WOULD NEVER SEE

MY DAUGHTERS GROW UP AND MY

SON GROW UP.

AND I CALLED OUT TO GOD.

I SAID, LORD, I NEED

STRENGTH TO COME HOME.

Pat: SHE SEEMS LIKE A

LOVELY PERSON, AND YOU WROTE

ABOUT HER IN YOUR BOOK --

WHAT DID SHE HAVE TO GO

THROUGH?

OUR MILITARY WIVES, IT IS

AMAZING WHAT THEY HAVE TO GO

THROUGH.

ESPECIALLY FOR INDIVIDUALS

ON FRONT LINES.

THE COMMUNICATION IS POOR AT

TIMES, AND SO THEY DON'T

KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING.

AND A LOT OF TIMES, LIKE I,

THEY TRY TO PROTECT THEM.

Pat: WHAT IS THE

DIVORCE RATE?

AVERAGE, 80%.

Pat: 80%?

YES, SIR.

Pat: YOU CAN'T GET MORE

EXTREME THAN THAT.

THE WIVES CAN'T TAKE IT?

I THINK THEY DON'T

UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY HAVE

GOTTEN THEMSELVES INTO.

AND THE HUSBANDS AND GUYS

MAYBE DON'T DO A GOOD ENOUGH

JOB WHEN THEY'RE HOME, BEING

HOME.

IT IS NOT JUST A JOB.

IT IS A LIFESTYLE, AND IT

TAKES A LOT TO BALANCE

THAT.

Pat: WHEN YOU WERE

HOME, YOU WERE THINKING

ABOUT THE GUYS IN THE BATTLE

AND ALL OF THAT.

YOU WEREN'T THINKING ABOUT

YOUR WIFE AS MUCH AS YOU

SHOULD BE?

WELL, YOU HAVE TO

COMPARTMENTALIZE.

I THOUGHT ABOUT MY WIFE AND

CHILDREN.

I WOULD HAVE A LITTLE SLIDE

SHOW I WOULD WATCH OF THEM

ONCE I WENT OUT FOR A

MISSION, AND ONCE THAT WAS

DONE, YOU DO NOT REALLY

THINK ABOUT YOUR FAMILY

WHILE YOU WERE OUT THERE

FIGHTING THE ENEMY.

IT WAS A DISTRACTION.

YOU HAD TO FOCUS ON WHAT WAS

GOING ON.

I THINK FOR A LOT OF US,

MYSELF INCLUDED, I ACCEPTED

THE FACT I MAY NOT COME HOME

THE SECOND I STEPPED OUT

THAT DOOR.

I THINK YOU HAD TO THINK

THAT WAY IN ORDER TO BE

EFFECTIVE.

Pat: AT ONE TIME I HAD

SOME FOLKS FROM SEAL TEAM

SIX WORKING HERE FOR US.

THEY'RE WONDERFUL GUYS.

YOU WENT THROUGH HELL WEEK

AND ALL OF THE REST OF THE

STUFF, BEING A SEAL.

YOU WERE AN OFFICER AND THEN

YOU WENT TO THE SEAL

TRAINING?

HAVE I GOT THAT RIGHT?

I WAS ACTUALLY ENLISTED

WHEN I WENT THROUGH SEAL

TRAINING.

I SPENT 10 YEARS AS A SEAL.

AND GOT PICKED UP FOR A

COMMISSIONING PROGRAM AND

BECAME A SEAL OFFICER.

AND IT'S A VERY TOUGH

COMMUNITY TO BE A LEADER IN

BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO MAKE THE

RIGHT DECISIONS.

YOU HAVE TO SET THE EXAMPLE

WITH YOUR MEN.

AND THE BOOK HAS A LOT ABOUT

THAT.

MY BOOK IS MUCH MORE A

JOURNEY OF LEADERSHIP THAN

ANYTHING ELSE.

COMING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IT

IS TO BE A GOOD LEADER.

Pat: IN YOUR BOOK, IT

WAS KIND OF, LIKE, I'M NOT

QUITE SURE I'M THE MAN THAT

IS GOOD ENOUGH TO DO THIS.

THERE WAS A LOT OF DOUBT IN

YOUR MIND?

YES, SIR.

I THINK EVERYBODY HAS

DOUBTS.

I THINK IT IS HUMBLING

OURSELVES AND COMING TO

UNDERSTAND HOW TO TAKE CARE

OF PEOPLE, HOW TO LOOK AT

PEOPLE, HOW TO MAKE THOSE

RIGHT DECISIONS, AND HOW TO

TRUST THE PEOPLE AROUND

YOU.

Pat: YOU LOOK PRETTY

GOOD NOW.

THE SURGEONS DID A RIGHT

NICE JOB.

THANK YOU, SIR.

Pat: I WAS EXPECTING

SOME DISFIGURED SOUL.

BUT THEY FACED YOU UP PRETTY

GOOD.

DO YOU HAVE PAIN IN YOUR ARM

AND FACE?

MY FASHION IS PRETTY

NUMB.

MY ARM STILL BOTHERS ME.

I TRY TO WORK OUT AND DO

THINGS.

I THINK WITH ANY OF OUR

WOUNDED AND DISABLED

VETERANS, YOU MAY HAVE A

DISABILITY, BUT YOU FIGURE

OUT HOW TO WORK AROUND IT

AND FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO

THINGS.

THAT'S WHAT MY NON-PROFIT IS

ALL ABOUT.

Pat: YOU KEPT SAYING, I

CAN'T QUITE GET ENOUGH

FLEXIBILITY IN MY ARM TO

HANDLE THE TRAINING.

YOU WANTED TO GET BACK IN

THERE, REGARDLESS OF YOUR

WOUNDS.

I DID.

I THINK FOR ALL OF US, I

LAID OUT A PATH.

I THINK EVERYBODY IN LIFE

HAS THIS PATH THEY THINK IS

THE PATH THEY'RE GOING TO GO

DOWN.

AND OBVIOUSLY, GOD SOMETIMES

HAS DIFFERENT PATHS FOR US.

WHEN I WAS INITIALLY

WOUNDED, I THOUGHT, I WANT

TO GET BACK TO MY UNIT AND

GET BACK TO MY CAREER.

I WANTED TO COMMAND A SEAL

TEAM.

OBVIOUSLY GOD HAD DIFFERENT

PLANS.

I'M HELPING OTHER WOUNDED

WARRIORS, AND I'M GETTING

OUT AND INSPIRING PEOPLE,

AND TALKING ABOUT

LEADERSHIP.

Pat: I HAVE SOME DOUBTS

ABOUT THIS WHOLE IRAQI

THING.

I'M NOT SURE WE SHOULD HAVE

GONE IN THERE, AND THE SAME

THING WITH AFGHANISTAN.

AND I HEAR THESE PEOPLE

BEING TORN TO PIECES, ABOUT

I.E.D.s TEARING OFF

LIMBS.

DID WE DO A GOOD THING AS A

NATION ON THAT DEAL?

I ABSOLUTELY BELIEVE SO.

AND THE REASON WHY IS

BECAUSE -- AND YOU'RE SEEING

IT NOW.

NO MATTER WHAT PEOPLE

BELIEVE, THERE IS TRUE EVIL

IN THIS WORLD.

AND al-QAEDA IS A

PROPONENT OF THAT EVIL, AND

THAT HAS MANIFESTED ITSELF

INTO ISIS.

IF WE DID NOT FIGHT IT

THERE, EVENTUALLY IT WILL

END UP ON OUR SHORES.

AND I DO THINK THAT OUR

GOVERNMENT HAS MADE SOME

MISTAKES IN HOW THEY'RE

FIGHTING THIS WAR, AND

THEY'VE ALLOWED -- THERE WAS

A PERIOD OF TIME WE HAD

PRESSURE ON THE ENEMY.

AND THAT WAR COMES AT A

COST.

I HAVE FELT THAT COST, AND

OTHER WARRIORS OUT THERE

HAVE EXPERIENCED THAT COST,

BOTH PHYSICAL AND

INVISIBLE.

BUT THE PROBLEM IS, LEFT

UNCHECKED, EVIL WILL

FLOURISH.

AND WE ARE FACING REAL

EVIL.

MUSLIM EXTREMISM IS A

PROBLEM, AND WE HAVE TO

STAND UP AND FIGHT AGAINST

IT.

IT IS AN IDEOLOGICAL THREAT

THAT WE'RE FACING, AND

UNFORTUNATELY, THERE IS NO

AMOUNT OF EDUCATION THAT IS

GOING TO CHANGE THESE

EXTREMISTS' VIEW.

THEY WANT TO WIPE US OFF THE

MAP.

UNFORTUNATELY, SOMETIMES THE

ONLY SOLUTION THERE IS IS

COMBAT, TO GO FORTH AND TRY

TO TAKE THESE PEOPLE OUT.

I'M PROUD OF THAT SERVICE

BECAUSE I SAW THAT LEVEL OF

BARBARIAN BRUTALITY THAT WAS

IN IRAQ AND I'M WATCHING IT

TODAY.

Pat: AND YOUR SUFFERING

WAS WORTHWHILE?

AND YOU SUFFERED

UNEQUIVOCABLY.

ABSOLUTELY.

I JUST HOPE THAT THE

AMERICAN PEOPLE REALIZE THIS

IS REAL.

AND WE CAN'T JUST HIDE FROM

IT.

Pat: OUR COMMANDER IN

CHIEF, IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE

HE WANTS TO NAME THE EVIL?

I AGREE.

I HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THAT.

I DO.

Pat: WELL, YOU HAVE

SOMETHING HERE FROM

SECRETARY GATES, A

PREFERENCE TO THIS BOOK

COMMENTING ON YOU.

AND IT IS A FABULOUS

JOURNEY.

IS YOUR WIFE GOOD WITH ALL

THAT YOU'VE GONE THROUGH.

YOU HAD A SIGN ON YOUR

HOSPITAL BED -- HOW DID IT

GO.

ATTENTION TO ALL WHO

ENTER HERE, IF YOU'RE COMING

INTO THIS ROOM WITH SADNESS

OR SORROW, DON'T BOTHER.

THE WOUNDS THAT I RECEIVED I

GOT IN THE JOB THAT I LOVE,

DOING IT FOR PEOPLE THAT I

LOVE, DEFENDING THE FREEDOM

OF A COUNTRY THAT I DEEPLY

LOVE.

THIS ROOM IS ALL ABOUT

OPTIMISM, INTENSE RAPID

REGROWTH, POSITIVE ENERGY.

IF YOU'RE NOT PREPARED FOR

THAT, GO ELSEWHERE.

Pat: THAT SIGN WENT

VIRAL.

THEY HAVE A PLAQUE IN THE

HOSPITAL.

YES, SIR.

WHEN I LEFT THE HOSPITAL, I

TOOK IT OFF THE DOOR AND

BROUGHT IT HOME.

BUT I FELT LIKE IT WASN'T

MINE TO KEEP.

I MAY HAVE WRITTEN IT, BUT

THAT IS THE SPIRIT OF OUR

WARRIORS.

AND BIGGER THAN THAT, I FEEL

LIKE IT IS THE SPIRIT OF

AMERICA.

THAT SPIRIT MADE AMERICA

WHAT IT IS.

I WAS INVITED TO MEET

PRESIDENT BUSH IN THE WHITE

HOUSE, AND I ASKED HIM TO

SIGN IT, AND THEN WE HAD IT

FRAMED, AND I GAVE IT BACK

TO HOSPITAL.

IT NOW HANGS IN THE MIDDLE

OF THE WOUNDED WARD.

AND TO THIS DAY I HAVE

SOLDIERS WHO TELL ME HOW

MUCH IT INSPIRED THEM.

I THOUGHT, ABSOLUTELY, THIS

IS WHERE WE'RE AT.

Pat: JASON, YOU'RE AN

INSPIRATION TO ALL OF US.

THIS IS A SOFT-BACK

EDITION.

THE HARDBACK HAS BEEN OUT

FOR A WHILE.

"TRIDENT."

IF YOU WANT TO READ THE

STORY OF A REAL HARPER, IT

IS CALLED "TRIDENT."

JASON REDMOND, GOD BLESS

YOU.

I'M HONORED TO HAVE YOU

HERE.

THANK YOU, SIR.

I'M HONORED TO BE HERE.

Pat: FOR MORE

INFORMATION ABOUT "WOUNDED

WEAR," WHICH IS JASON'S

COMPANY, LOG ON TO

CBN.COM.

TERRY?

Terry: UP NEXT, IT IS

TIME TO BRING IT ON WITH

YOUR E-MAIL.

ROBIN SAYS, "THE THREAT OF

WAR WITH RUSSIA AND ISLAMIC

TERRORISTS THREATENING TO

ATTACK ON U.S. SOIL, HOW CAN

WE PREPARE?

DO YOU AGREE WITH HAVE A

RIGHT TO DEFEND OURSELVES?"

STAY TUNED FOR PAT'S

ANSWER.

THAT'S COMING UP AFTER

THIS.

Pat: GLAD TO HAVE YOU

WITH US.

A LITTLE PROMO ABOUT THIS,

THAT, AND THE OTHER THAT IS

GOING ON.

I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME

QUESTIONS NOW.

Terry: WE DO.

IT'S TIME TO "BRING IT ON."

THIS IS ROBIN, PAT, WHO

SAYS, "WITH THE THREAT OF

WAR WITH RUSSIA AND THE

ISLAMIC TERRORISTS

THREATENING TO ATTACK ON

U.S. SOIL IN SPRING OR

SUMMER OF THIS YEAR, HOW CAN

WE PREPARE?

AS CHRISTIANS, I KNOW TO

BATTLE IN PRAYER AND

WORSHIP, BUT WHAT ABOUT

PHYSICALLY?

DO YOU BELIEVE WE HAVE A

RIGHT TO DEFEND OURSELVES.

OR DO YOU BELIEVE, LIKE MY

HUSBAND, WE SHOULD TURN THE

OTHER CHEEK?

HOW DO WE PREPARE FOR

SURVIVAL?"

Pat: YOU ASKED A WHOLE

LOT OF QUESTIONS.

THERE ARE SOME SURVIVORS

WITH A YEAR'S SUPPLY OF FOOD

AND THEY'VE GOT UNDERGROUND

BUNKERS AND THEY HAVE

AMMUNITION AND EVERYTHING.

I DON'T THINK THERE IS ANY

WAY THAT A FEW PEOPLE CAN

SURVIVE AND EVERYBODY ELSE

DIES.

I THINK THE BIBLE SAYS,

OCCUPY UNTIL I COME.

WHAT DOES HE MEAN?

HE SAYS, PREACH THE WORD, IN

SEASON AND OUT OF THE

SEASON.

TELL PEOPLE ABOUT JESUS.

TELL THEM ABOUT THE GOOD

NEWS.

TEACH THEM, EXORT THEM AND

PRAY.

FOR ANY DISASTER, IT DOESN'T

HURT TO HAVE A FEW DAYS

SUPPLY OF MEDICINE, A FEW

DAYS SUPPLY OF DRY FOOD, A

FEW DAYS SUPPLY OF WATER OR

A WATER SOURCE OR A

GENERATOR AGAINST THE LOSS

OF POWER.

YOU NEED WHETHER THE END OF

THE WORLD COMES OR NOT.

YOU CAN'T SIT AROUND

WORRYING ABOUT THE FACT THAT

THIS WORLD IS GOING TO

HELL.

IT JUST LOOKS LIKE IT, BUT

GOD IS IN CONTROL.

SO TRUST HIM AND DO HIS

WORK.

THAT'S WHAT YOU DO.

THAT'S HOW YOU PREPARE.

GET AS MANY PEOPLE TO THE

LORD AS YOU CAN WHILE THERE

IS STILL A CHANCE.

Terry: I SAW A GREAT

T-SHIRT THE OTHER DAY THAT

SAID, "JESUS IS COMING SOON;

LOOK BUSY."

THIS IS BARBARA WHO

SAYS, "MY HUSBAND AND I ARE

CHRISTIANS, AND OUR CHILDREN

OR NOT.

THEY, INCLUDING OR

SON-IN-LAW AND

DAUGHTER-IN-LAW, RULE THEIR

EYES AND IGNORE US WHEN WE

TALK ABOUT GIVING OUR

PROBLEMS TO GOD.

WE LOVE THEM ALL.

BOTH OF OUR CHILDREN ARE

HAVING FINANCIAL PROBLEMS,

WHICH IN TURN USUALLY CAUSES

MARITAL PROBLEMS.

WE ALWAYS PRAY FOR THEM.

WE ARE AT A LOSS KNOWING

WHAT ELSE TO DO.

WE HAVE BEEN TOLD ALL WE

THINK ABOUT IS CHURCH.

CAN YOU SHARE SOME WISDOM

WITH US?"

Pat: ONE DAY THEY'RE

GOING TO HAVE SOME REAL

PROBLEMS AND THEY'RE GOING

TO SAY, MOM AND DAD HAVE THE

ANSWER.

I THINK YOU STAY TRUE TO THE

LORD AND YOU LOVE THEM.

BUT DON'T BE ENABLERS.

IF THEY'RE SCREWING UP THEIR

FINANCES, DON'T STEP IN WITH

A BIG CHECK.

SO THEY THINK MOM AND DAD

WILL ALWAYS BE THERE, EVEN

THOUGH WE'RE DOING FOOLISH

THINGS.

LET THEM MAKE MISTAKES.

ALWAYS HOLD TRUE TO YOUR

FAITH AND ALWAYS LOVE THEM

BECAUSE YOU'RE THEIR MOTHER

AND FATHER.

ONE OF THESE DAYS THEY'LL

COME BACK TO THE TRUTH AND

THEY'LL COME BACK TO YOU.

CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR THEM.

THE THING IS, YOU AND YOUR

HUSBAND LOVE EACH OTHER AND

BEFORE THEM SHOW AFFECTION,

SHOW LOVE, AND LET THEM

THINK, MAN, THIS IS THE WAY

IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE.

MOM AND DAD WERE ALWAYS

HUGGING EACH OTHER AND THEY

LOVED EACH OTHER.

AND THIS IS WHAT IS IDEAL.

AND THAT'S WHAT THEY

REMEMBER.

THEY MAY MAKE FUN OF YOU AND

ROLL THEIR EYES AND ALL OF

THAT, BUT DEEP INSIDE THEY

WANT WHAT YOU'VE GOT.

Terry: THIS IS BONITA

WHO SAYS, "I'M THE MOTHER OF

A 30-YEAR-OLD SON WHOM I

RAISED TO BE A CHRISTIAN,

BUT LIKE MILLIONS OF OTHER

PEOPLE, I FIND MYSELF

BATTLING HIS!

ALCOHOLISM.

HE SAYS HE IS NOT

CHRISTIAN.

HE HAS BATTLED WITH

ALCOHOLISM FOR OVER 12

YEARS, AND HE JUST RECEIVED

HIS THIRD D.U.I., AND HAS NO

INTEREST IN STOPPING HIS

DRINKING/DRIVING.

I DON'T WANT TO PUSH HIM

AWAY FROM GOD AT ALL.

QUITE THE OPPOSITE.

DO YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTION

AS TO WHAT I SHOULD DO FROM

HERE.

I HAVE FASTED, PRAYED,

PRAISED GOD, BELIEVED FOR

THIS DELIVERANCE, AND IT IS

ONLY GETTING WORTH.

AND I AM, AS WELL AS OTHER

MEMBERS OF OUR FAMILY,

EXHAUSTED."

Pat: YOU COULD HAVE AN

INTERVENTION ABOUT THE

ALCOHOL, AND IT MAY WORK OR

NOT.

YOU MAY GET HIM IN TOUCH

WITH A.A., BECAUSE THEY PUT

HIM WITH SOMEBODY WHO HAS

THE SAME EXPERIENCE.

BUT AN ALCOHOLIC HAS GOT TO

HIT BOTTOM.

SO WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T

HELP HIM WITH MONEY, BAIL

HIM OUT OF JAIL, DON'T

COMFORT THEM IN THIS STUFF.

AND JUST SAY, LOOK -- IN A

SENSE, ALCOHOL IS A DISEASE,

BUT IT IS ALSO A LIFE

CHOICE.

YOU CAN HAVE A LOT OF

DISEASES, AND YOU TAKE

MEDICINE FOR IT.

SO WITH THEIR DISEASE, MAYBE

IT TAKES MEDICINE.

ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS WAS SET

UP BY SOMEBODY WHO KNEW HOW

TO GET PEOPLE OUT OF THAT

SITUATION.

PERHAPS YOU GET YOUR SON

WITH SOMEBODY FROM A.A., WHO

WILL STAY WITH HIM AND TALK

TO HIM AND SEE IF THEY CAN'T

GET HIM OUT OF THIS THING.

USUALLY THEY'VE GOT TO HIT

ROCK BOTTOM.

SKID ROW WITH A CARDBOARD

BOX THAT THEY'RE LIVING IN.

AND SUDDENLY THEY'RE LIKE

THE PRODIGAL SON AND HE

WAKES UP AND SAYS, HE CAME

TO HIMSELF.

HOW MANY SERVANTS OF MY

FATHER ARE BETTER OFF THAN I

AM.

I WILL RISE IN MY FATHER'S

HOUSE.

ONE OF THESE DAYS IT WILL

HAPPEN, SO DON'T STOP

PRAYING.

Terry: "TWO OF OUR

BABIES DIED, ONE WAS FOUR

DAYS OLD AND THE OTHER,

TWO.

I HEARD WHEN WE GET TO

HEAVEN THEY WILL BE FULL

GROWN ADULTS AND NO LONGER

BABIES.

IS THERE ANY BIBLE SCRIPTURE

TO BACK THAT UP?"

Pat: THE BIBLE SAYS

THEY WILL BE LIKE HIM

BECAUSE WE'LL SEE THEM AS HE

IS.

MY THOUGHT IS LITTLE BABIES

WILL GROW UP TO IDEAL AGE,

WHICH IS THE AGE JESUS WAS

WHEN HE WENT TO HEAVEN.

SO THAT WILL BE EARLY

30s.

I DON'T KNOW.

THEY'RE SPIRITUAL BEINGS, SO

GOD CAN CLOTHE THEM WITH THE

APPROPRIATE ORNAMENTS AND

LET THEM LIVE.

THEY WILL LIVE.

THEY'LL BE THERE.

AND IT WILL BE A GLORIOUS

REUNION.

THEY WILL BE SPIRITUAL

BEINGS WITH SPIRITUAL

BODIES.

WE LEAVE YOU WITH TODAY'S

POWER MINUTE FROM PSALM 91:

"I WILL BE WITH HIM IN

TROUBLE.

I WILL RESCUE HIM AND HONOR

HIM.

WITH ALL LIFE, I WILL

SATISFY HIM AND SHOW HIM MY

SALVATION."

THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH US,

AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU AS

THIS DAY UNFOLDS.

AND IF YOU'RE IN ANY PART OF

THE EAST COAST, STAY WARM

BECAUSE TOMORROW IS GOING TO

BE A LOT COLDER THAN TODAY.

SEE YOU THEN.

BYE-BYE.
