On this week's edition of The Watchman, we examine the Islamic terrorist attack in San Bernardino and what's next in ISIS's war against America.

Erick: AND WELCOME TO
"THE WATCHMAN."
WELL, THE HORRIFIC ISIS
TERROR ATTACK ON PARIS IS
JUST A FEW WEEKS OLD, AND
NOW WE'RE PICKING UP THE
PIECES FROM AN
ISIS-INSPIRED ATTACK RIGHT
HERE ON AMERICAN SOIL.
TWO ISLAMIC TERRORISTS, A
HUSBAND AND WIFE TEAM,
MURDERED 14 PEOPLE IN SAN
BERNARDINO LAST WEEK.
AND, FOLKS, WE HAVE
ENTERED A DANGEROUS NEW
PHASE HERE ON AMERICAN
SOIL.
THE SAN BERNARDINO
JIHADIST MASSACRE MARKED
THE DEADLIEST ISLAMIC
TERROR ATTACK ON AMERICAN
SOIL SINCE 9/11, EVEN
DEADLIER THAN THE FORT
HOOD ATTACK AND THE BOSTON
BOMBING.
SYED FAROOK WAS AN
AMERICAN-BORN JIHADIST WHO
TRAVELLED TO SAUDI ARABIA
AND MET HIS WIFE, TASHFEEN
MALIK, A PAKISTANI NATIVE.
AND HE THEN BROUGHT HER
BACK TO CALIFORNIA.
SOME HAVE SUGGESTED THAT
THE WIFE ACTUALLY
RADICALIZED THE HUSBAND,
WHICH WOULD BE AN
INTERESTING TWIST.
WE MAY NEVER KNOW THE
ANSWER TO THAT.
BUT WHAT WE DO KNOW IS
THAT TASHFEEN MALIK
PLEDGED ALLEGIANCE TO ISIS
ON HER Facebook PAGE
JUST BEFORE JOINING HER
HUSBAND IN MASSACRING 14
PEOPLE.
WE ALSO KNOW THAT SYED
FAROOK WAS IN TOUCH WITH
PEOPLE WHO THE U.S.
GOVERNMENT HAS
INVESTIGATED FOR TERROR
TIES.
AND HE REPORTEDLY REACHED
OUT TO THE
AL-QAEDA-AFFILIATED
AL-NUSRA FRONT IN SYRIA
AND al-SHABAAB.
SYED FAROOK AND HIS WIFE,
TASHFEEN MALIK, WERE READY
AND WILLING TO GET
INVOLVED IN THE JIHAD.
AND LO AND BEHOLD, WHEN
AUTHORITIES RAIDED THEIR
HOME, THEY FOUND AN
ARSENAL OF AMMUNITION AND
PIPE BOMBS.
SO WHO KNOWS WHAT THEY HAD
PLANNED BEYOND THEIR
ATTACK ON THE CENTER WHERE
FAROOK WORKED.
NEVERTHELESS, DESPITE
OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE
PRETTY EARLY ON THAT THIS
WAS AN ISLAMIC TERRORIST
ATTACK, THE MAINSTREAM
MEDIA AND THE OBAMA
ADMINISTRATION SPENT DAYS
WRINGING THEIR HANDS OVER
THE MOTIVATIONS BEHIND THE
ATTACKS, AND WHETHER IT
WAS JUST A CASE OF
WORKPLACE VIOLENCE.
SEE NO ISLAM; SPEAK NO
ISLAM.
JUST AS IN THE IMMEDIATE
AFTERMATH OF FORT HOOD AND
THE BOSTON BOMBING.
BUT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE,
AH-HAH, AREN'T STUPID.
SO PRESIDENT OBAMA
DELIVERED AN OVAL OFFICE
ADDRESS ACKNOWLEDGING
THAT, YES, SAN BERNARDINO
WAS A TERRORIST ATTACK.
BUT IN TERMS OF STRATEGY
TO FIGHT ISIS AND THE
GROWING JIHADIST THREAT ON
AMERICAN SOIL, NOTHING
NEW.
President Obama: IF
WE'RE TO SUCCEED IN
DEFEATING TERRORISM, WE
MUST I ENLIST MUSLIM
COMMUNITIES, RATHER THAN
PUSH THEM AWAY THROUGH
SUSPICION AND HATE.
IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY
TO REJECT RELIGIOUS TESTS
ON WHO WE ADMIT INTO THIS
COUNTRY.
Erick: FOLKS, NEWS
FLASH: NOTHING IS GOING TO
CHANGE BEFORE PRESIDENT
OBAMA LEAVES OFFICE IN
JANUARY 2017.
HE WILL NOT SAY RADICAL
ISLAM.
HE WILL NOT DESTROY ISIS.
AND HE WILL NOT CONTAIN
ISIS.
HE WILL CONTINUE TO
EMBRACE THE IRANIAN REGIME
AND ISOLATE ISRAEL.
ISIS IS RAMPING UP ITS
ACTIVITIES AROUND THE
WORLD.
IN THE PAST MONTH AND A
HALF, IT HAS DOWNED A
RUSSIAN AIRLINER OVER
EGYPT, CARRIED OUT MAJOR
ATTACKS IN BEIRUT AND, OF
COURSE, PARIS, AND NOW WE
HAVE TWO ISIS SYMPATHIZERS
WREAKING HAVOC IN SAN
BERNARDINO.
THE GOAL IS TO TURN
AMERICAN AND EUROPEAN
CITIES INTO GUERRILLA WAR
ZONES, WHERE YOU SEE A
PARIS OR CALIFORNIA-STYLE
ATTACK ON A REGULAR BASIS.
ARE WE READY FOR THAT AS A
COUNTRY?
I DON'T THINK WE ARE.
SO NOW, MORE THAN EVER, WE
NEED TO LEAN ON THE LORD
GOD ALMIGHTY.
HE SAYS , I WILL NEVER
LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKE YOU.
IF YOU'RE NOT WALKING WITH
THE LORD, FOLKS, THIS IS A
GOOD TIME TO START.
THERE IS NO POLITICAL
MESSIAH COMING AROUND THE
CORNER IN 2016, BUT THERE
IS A LIVING MESSIAH, THE
LORD JESUS, WHO WE CAN PUT
OUR HOPE AND TRUST IN.
UNLIKE THE POLITICIANS
HERE IN WASHINGTON, HE
WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN.
A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE ASKED
MY ABOUT TASHFEEN MALIK,
WHY A WOMAN, EVEN AMERICAN
AND EUROPEAN WOMEN, WOULD
WANT TO JOIN ISIS.
I REPORTED ON THIS
PHENOMENON LAST YEAR AND
CBN NEWS.
GET READY FOR THE GIRLS OF
JIHAD.
FOR MONTHS BEFORE SHANNON
CONNELLY'S ARRESTS, F.B.I.
AGENTS MET WITH HER
REPEATEDLY.
THEY WARNED HER THAT HER
PLAN TO TRAVEL WITH SYRIA
AND HELP ISIS WAS
ILLEGALLY.
CONNELLY, HOWEVER, THAT
MADE UP HER MIND.
SHE WANTED TO LEAVE HER
SUBURBAN DENVER HOME TO
MARRY AN ISIS MEMBER SHE
MET ONLINE.
AGENTS STOPPED HER AT
DENVER'S AIRPORT BEFORE
SHE COULD CARRY OUT HER
PLAN.
BUT THERE ARE MANY MORE
LIKE HER.
LAST MONTH THREE TEENAGED
GIRLS WERE DETAINED BY
TRYING TO MAKE THEIR WAY
TO SYRIA.
BUT HUNDREDS OF OTHER
YOUNG WOMEN FROM WESTERN
COUNTRIES HAVE MADE IT TO
THE ISLAMIC STATE,
MARRYING ISIS FIGHTERS,
AND EVEN FIGHTING
ALONGSIDE THEM.
I HAVE A HUGE CONCERN
REGARDING THE WOMEN GOING
BACK BECAUSE THAT'S,
AGAIN, A PART OF BUILDING
A NEW SOCIETY.
THAT'S THE MARKETING THAT
IS GOING ON.
AND A LOT OF WOMEN HERE
ARE FINDING THAT AN
ATTRACTIVE OPTION.
Erick: BOB FLETCHER
IS THE FORMER IS SHERIFF SHERIFF OF A
TOWN WHERE MANY HAVE
JOINED ISIS.
WHILE THEY'RE
RECRUITING MEN, THEY
PROMISE THEM WIVES WHEN
THEY GET THERE.
THEY NEED WOMEN IN THEIR
SOCIETY TO KEEP THEIR
FIGHTERS CONTENT.
IT'S A SCARY THING, BUT
THE WOMEN ARE REALLY BEING
USED IN A VARIETY OF WAYS.
ONCE THEY GET THERE.
Erick: IN SOME CASES,
THESE WOMEN ACT AS MUCH
MORE THAN MERE JIHADI
BRIDES.
A GROUP OF BRITISH WOMEN
REPORTEDLY LEADS AN ALL
FEMALE SHI'A POLICE UNIT.
THEY ENFORCE ISLAMIC DRESS
CODES AND EVEN REPORTEDLY
RUN A BROTHEL, WHERE THEY
PROVIDE SEX SLAVES TO ISIS
FIGHTERS.
SO FAR MOST OF THE ISIS
WOMEN COME FROM EUROPE.
THE NUMBERS INCLUDE AT
LEAST 50 BRITISH WOMEN, 40
FROM GERMANY, AND SOME 60
FRENCH GIRLS AND YOUNG
WOMEN ALL LEAVING THEIR
HOMES TO JOIN THE ISLAMIC
STATE.
THE SO-CALLED POSTER GIRLS
FOR THIS MOVEMENT ARE A
PAIR OF AUSTRIAN TEENAGERS
WHO ARE BELIEVED TO BE
LIVING IN SYRIA AND
MARRIED TO ISIS FIGHTERS.
THE GIRLS ARE REPORTEDLY
PREGNANT AND WANT TO COME
HOME.
al-QAEDA EXTREMISTS,
ISIS, al-SHABAAB, FOR
THE GIRLS, THEY'RE USING
THE ELEMENT OF SURPRISE.
Erick: THERE IS A
PRECEDENT FOR FEMALE
TERRORISTS.
DOZEN OF MUSLIM WOMEN FROM
CHECHNYA AND DAGASTAN HAVE
CARRIED OUT SUICIDE
BOMBINGS, BUT ISIS IS
TAKING THINGS TO ANOTHER
LEVEL BY ACTIVELY
RECRUITING WOMEN ONLINE.
ISIS PROMISES THEM
HUSBANDS AND A WONDERFUL
NEW LIFE IN THE CALIPHATE,
IN A PLACE WHERE WOMEN
HAVE NO RIGHTS OR
FREEDOMS.
WE'RE HEARING SO MUCH
ABOUT SYRIAN REFUGEES.
ABIGAIL ROBERTSON RECENTLY
SPENT TIME IN TWO SYRIAN
REFUGEE CAMPS IN LEBANON
AND IN FRANCE.
SHE JOINS US AFTER THE
BREAK TO SHARE WHAT SHE
FOUND.
YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS
THIS.
STICK AROUND.
Erick: AND WELCOME
BACK.
WHILE WE'RE HEARING SO
MUCH ABOUT SYRIAN
REFUGEES, THEIR IMPACT ON
EUROPE AND AMERICA, AND
THEIR IMPACT ON THE MIDDLE
EAST, OUR CBN NEWS
CORRESPONDENT ABIGAIL
ROBERTSON RECENTLY SPENT
TIME IN TWO SYRIAN REFUGEE
CAMPS, ONE IN LEBANON, AND
ONE IN FRANCE.
SHE JOINS US NOW.
ABBEY, GREAT TO HAVE YOU
HERE.
GREAT TO BE HERE.
Erick: YOU JUST HAD A
VERY INTERESTING TRIP TO
LEBANON AND TO FRANCE.
LET'S START WITH LEBANON
AND THE SYRIAN REFUGEES
FLEEING THERE FROM OVER
THE BORDER.
WHAT DID YOU SEE ON THE
GROUND IN THIS REFUGEE
CAMP IN LEBANON AND WHAT
STOOD OUT?
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT
STOOD OUT TO ME, ONE,
THESE PEOPLE ARE FLEEING
HORRIFIC SITUATIONS AT
HOME.
THEY HAVE NOTHING TO GO
BACK TO.
THESE PEOPLE ARE DOCTORS,
LAWYERS, MECHANICAL
ENGINEERS, WELL-RESPECTED
CITIZENS WHO HAVE HAD TO
LEAVE THEIR ENTIRE
LIFESTYLES.
THEY'VE HAD TO LEAVE THEIR
HOUSES, THEIR CARS, THEIR
FAMILIES, AND A LOT OF
THEM LIVE IN COMMUNISTS COMMUNITIES
THAT WERE HUGE FAMILIES --
Erick: MIDDLE CLASS
COMMUNITIES IN SYRIA.
AND THESE ARE PROFESSIONAL
PEOPLE, LIKE YOU SAID, AND
NOW THEY'RE LIVING IN A
REFUGEE CAMP.
AND THEY COME TO
LEBANON AND JORDAN AND
OTHER PLACES, AND THEY'RE
NOT ALLOWED TO GET JOBS
ONCE THEY'RE REFUGEES.
AND THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO
WERE PROFESSIONALS AND
THEY CAN'T WORK AND
THEY'RE COMPLETELY RELYING
ON THE GOVERNMENT IN THESE
COUNTRIES TO HELP THEM.
Erick: OF COURSE, IT
IS A DEPRESSING SITUATION.
NUMBER ONE, WHAT WAS THE
ATTITUDE OVERALL IN THE
CAMPS?
AND WHAT WAS THE VIEW OF
ISIS?
I IMAGINE A LOT OF THESE
PEOPLE WERE FLEEING ISIS.
WAS THERE FEAR OR ANGER
ABOUT ISIS?
THEY'RE MAKING THE BEST
OF WHAT THEY CAN.
THEY ARE SO GRATEFUL FOR
ANY COMPASSION THAT ANY
GROUPS OR GOVERNMENTS THAT
ARE DOING THINGS TO HELP
THEM.
THEIR SENTIMENT TOWARDS
ISIS -- THE ONES WHO STILL
HAVE FAMILY IN SYRIA ARE
VERY AFRAID OF ISIS.
THEY'RE A LITTLE MORE
SKITTISH OF TALKING TO
REPORTERS BECAUSE SOME OF
THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS HAVE
BEEN KIDNAPPED BY ISIS.
IT IS JUST A VERY -- THEY
HAVE -- I THINK IT HURTS
THEM TO SEE THINGS LIKE
THE PARIS ATTACKS AND
STUFF BECAUSE IT IS WHAT
THEY HAVE BEEN DEALING
WITH FOR YEARS AND NOW IT
IS GOING ALL OVER THE
WORLD.
Erick: IT IS GOING
GLOBAL AND WE'RE FEELING
IT HERE.
ABBEY, WHAT WAS YOUR
TAXPAYEREXPERIENCE WHILE ON THE
GROUND?
NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE CAN
SAY THAT THEY WERE AT THE
CAMPS.
WHAT WAS THE SITUATION FOR
CHRISTIAN REFUGEES?
THEY DON'T LIVE IN THE
CAMPS BECAUSE THEY FACE
PERSECUTION THERE.
Erick: INSIDE THE
CAMPS?
INSIDE THE CAMPS.
YOU WILL NOT REALLY FIND
CHRISTIANS INSIDE THE
CAMPS.
SO THREE OR FOUR FAMILIES
WILL RENT ONE OR
TWO-BEDROOM APARTMENTS AND
LIVE TOGETHER.
AND THEY HAVE A REALLY BAD
SITUATION BECAUSE A LOT OF
THEM DIDN'T FLEE BECAUSE
THE BOMBS GOT A LITTLE TOO
MUCH TO HANDLE.
THESE PEOPLE WERE RUN OUT
OF THEIR CHRISTIAN
VILLAGES IN SYRIA.
Erick: BECAUSE THEY
WERE CHRISTIANS?
BECAUSE THEY WERE
CHRISTIANS.
THEY LIVED IN CHRISTIAN
CITIES THAT WERE -- THEIR
CHURCHES WERE BLOWN UP.
THEIR HOUSES WERE BLOWN
UP.
THEY HAVE NOTHING TO GO
BACK TO, AND THE ONES WHO
COULDN'T ESCAPE QUICK
ENOUGH WERE KIDNAPPED.
SO THEY HAVE FAMILY
MEMBERS IN ISIS CAPTIVITY,
AND IT IS A LOT MORE TENSE
OF A SITUATION FOR THEM.
THEY REALLY NEED PRAYER
AND THEY REALLY NEED
GROUPS TO KIND OF HELP
THEM AND REACH OUT TO
THEM.
BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT
GETTING THE SAME AID AS
OTHER PEOPLE INSIDE THE
CAMPS ARE.
Erick: SO THEY'RE
REALLY ON THEIR OWN.
AND THIS IS OUR BROTHERS
AND SISTERS IN CHRIST.
YOU WERE IN LEBANON, AND
YOU ALSO SPENT TIME IN A
REFUGEE CAMP IN FRANCE.
UH-HUH.
Erick: WE HAVE SUCH A
DEBATE ABOUT TAKING SYRIAN
REFUGEES, AND WHAT DID YOU
SEE ON THE GROUND IN THE
CAMPS.
COMPARED TO THE LEBANON
CAMPS, WHERE A LOT OF
PEOPLE WANT TO RETURN TO
SYRIA, THE PEOPLE IN
FRANCE DO NOT WANT TO GO
BACK.
THEY HEAR WHAT IS GOING
BACK IN SYRIA, AND THEY
DON'T WANT TO RETURN.
WHAT I SAW IS -- I WALKED
INTO ONE TENT, AND THERE
WAS A MAN, ABOUT 30 YEARS
OLD, CRYING, BECAUSE HE
WAS LOOKING AT PICTURES OF
HIS 4-YEAR-OLD AND
2-YEAR-OLD, AND HE REALLY
MISSES THEM.
THEY'RE STILL IN SYRIA
BECAUSE HE THINK THE
JOURNEY IS TOO HARD, AND
HE WANTS TO GET SETTLED
AND SENT FOR THEM.
WE WERE IN WHAT WAS KNOWN
AS THE JUNGLE, AND IT WAS
ONE OF THE WORST CAMPS IN
ALL OF EUROPE.
IT IS IN FRANCE, AND
20 MILES OUTSIDE OF THE
U.K., WHERE A LOT OF THE
REFUGEES ARE TRYING TO GET
TO, BECAUSE THEY SPEAK
ENGLISH, OR THEY HAVE
FAMILY THERE --
Erick: GENEROUS
WELFARE PROGRAMS IN
BRITAIN AS WELL?
UH-HUH.
IT IS A VERY TOUGH PLACE.
FOR SHOWERS -- IT IS NOT
SANITARY AT ALL.
THEY EACH GET ONE SHOWER A
WEEK.
THEY HAVE A FIVE-MINUTE
TIME SLOT, AND THEY SET UP
PORT-A-POTTIES, BUT THEY
DON'T CLEAN THEM, SO IT IS
DISGUSTING.
IT IS A HUGE HUMANITARIAN
CRISIS.
Erick: AND IT IS
FREEZING THERE.
IT IS FREEZING OUT
THERE.
IT IS BAD.
THEY HAVE TO FIGURE OUT
SOMETHING TO HELP THESE
PEOPLE.
BUT THERE ARE CHRISTIAN
GROUPS INSIDE THAT CAMP,
AND THEY ARE HAVING A HUGE
IMPACT ON THE PEOPLE
THERE.
THEY ARE LOVING THEM.
THEY'RE GETTING THEM
BLANKETS.
THEY'RE GIVING THEM FOOD,
AND IT IS REALLY MAKING A
DIFFERENCE.
Erick: THAT IS
ENCOURAGING TO HEAR.
THAT'S WHAT IT IS ALL
ABOUT.
ABIGAIL, THANK YOU.
COMING UP ON "THE 700
CLUB," ON CBN NEWS, AND
cbnnews.com, YOU'RE GOING
TO SEE MORE FROM ABIGAIL,
MORE OF HER ON THE GROUND
REPORTS FROM LEBANON AND
FRANCE.
THANKS AGAIN.
> COMING UP AFTER THE
BREAK, WHY DOES WINSTON
CHURCHILL MATTER TODAY?
AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, WHAT
WAS CHURCHILL'S
RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD?
MUCH MORE COMING UP AFTER
THE BREAK.
STICK AROUND.
Erick: AND WELCOME
BACK.
WELL, IF YOU WATCH THIS
SHOW ON A REGULAR BASIS,
YOU KNOW I AM A BIG FAN OF
WINSTON CHURCHILL.
HE IS A GUY WHO SAW THE
GATHERING STORM OF NAZI
GERMANY, WHEN IT WASN'T
POPULAR TO CALL IT OUT,
AND HE TOOK IT HEAD-ON,
ENOUGH TO PRESERVE WESTERN
CIVILIZATION AND DEFEAT
THE NAZIS.
WELL, WHAT DROVE WINSTON
CHURCHILL?
AND EVEN MORE IMPORTANTLY,
WHAT WAS HIS RELATIONSHIP
LIKE WITH GOD?
A NEW BOOK -- A GREAT NEW
BOOK, CALLED "GOD IN
CHURCHILL," EXAMINES THE
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN
WINSTON CHURCHILL AND GOD
ALMIGHTY.
MY CBN COLLEAGUE HEATHER
SELLS RECENTLY SPENT TIME
WITH THE AUTHORS.
TAKE A LOOK.
THEY WILL HAVE TO BREAK
US IN HIS ISLAND OR LOSE
THE WAR.
IF WE CAN STAND UP TO HIM,
ALL EUROPE MAY BE FREE.
Reporter: HISTORIANS
CONSIDER HIM ONE OF THE
GREATEST LEADERS OF THE THE THE
MILLENNIUM.
MOST EXPERTS HAVE
CONSIDERED WINSTON
CHURCHILL TO BE AGNOSTIC,
BUT GREAT GRANDSON
JONATHAN SANDS SAYS
CHURCHILL MOVED ON FROM
THE AGNOSTIC DAYS OF HIS
YOUTH.
I DEFINITELY CONCLUDE
THAT MY GREAT GRANDFATHER
HAD A STRONG FAITHMEN FAITH.
IN THOSE DAYS, YOU DIDN'T
TALK ABOUT YOUR FAITH.
HE WAS A PRIME MINISTER.
HE BELIEVED THAT JESUS
WAS THE SAVIOR OF THE
WORLD.
HE BELIEVED IN THOSE
THINGS.
HE BELIEVED IN THE BIBLE
THAT WAS INSPIRED OF GOD.
Reporter: "GOD IN
CHURCHILL," THE AUTHOR
CITED A CONVERSATION
BETWEEN WINSTON CHURCHILL
AND HIS BODYGUARD.
WHILE ON A WALK ONE DAY,
THEY NARROWLY ESCAPED A
BOMB.
CHURCHILL TURNED TO
THOMPSON AND SAID, DON'T
WORRY, THERE IS SOMEONE
ELSE LOOKING AFTER ME.
THOMPSON MISUNDERSTOOD
AND SAID, DO YOU MEAN
SERGEANT DAVIS.
AND GREAT GRANDFATHER
SHOOK HIS HEAD AND SAID
NO.
HE SAID, THERE IS SOMEONE
UP THERE WHO HAS A MISSION
FOR ME TO PERFORM, AND HE
INTENDS TO SEE THAT
IMAGINATION PERFORMED.
Reporter: SAMS
DECIDED TO WRITE THE BOOK
AFTER SPEAKING WITH AN
AUTHOR TO TOLD HIM OF
INFORMATION.
IT LED TO MULTIPLE
EXAMPLES WHERE CHURCHILL
PRIVATELY PREFERRED TO HIS
PERSONAL BELIEFS.
ONE DAY CHURCHILL SPOKE
FRANKLY ABOUT JESUS
CHRIST.
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT
JESUS CHRIST, MONTGOMERY
ASKS CHURCHILL.
AND CHURCHILL SAYS, JESUS
CHRIST WAS UNSURPASSED IN
HIS CAPACITY TO SAVE
SINNERS.
THOSE WERE HIS WORDS.
WE QUOTE THEM IN THE BOOK.
Reporter: HE CREDITS
CHURCHILL'S NANNY WITH
TEACHING HIM THE GOSPEL.
HIS NANNY, ELIZABETH
EVEREST, HAD PUMPED THE
WORD OF GOD INTO HIM.
HE ANALYZED THINGS FROM
THAT PERSPECTIVE.
UPON THIS DEPENDENTS
THDEPENDS THESURVIVAL OF CHRISTIAN
CIVILIZATION.
Reporter: HE CLEARLY
RECOGNIZED NAZIISM AS THE
PIT OF EVIL, EVEN WHEN
OTHERS DID NOT.
HE OPENLY ACKNOWLEDGED
THAT ONLY GOD COULD SEE
BRITAIN THROUGH THE WAR
AND ENCOURAGE THE BRITISH
TO PUT THEIR HOPE IN HIM.
AS THE WILL OF GOD IS
IN HEAVEN, EVEN S SO.
UNLIKE HITLER, GREAT
GRANDFATHER DIRECTED THE
HOPE OF THE PEOPLE TOWARDS
GOD.
WHENEVER HE USED GOD OR
USED A BIBLE QUOTE WITHIN
A SPEECH, IT WAS ALWAYS TO
PUSH THE PEOPLE'S HOPE
TOWARDS GOD.
Reporter: AND
CHURCHILL ALSO MODELED
CHRISTIAN VIRTUES, LIKE
FORGIVENESS.
HE APPOINTED SOME OF HIS
CRITICS TO HIS WAR-TIME
CABINET AND REFUSED TO
VILIFY THE GERMANS.
WHEN HE IS TALKING
ABOUT THE NAZIS, HE
SEPARATES THE NAZIS FROM
THE GERMAN PEOPLE.
HE WANTED FREEDOM FOR THE
PEOPLE OF GERMANY.
AND IT WAS VITAL THAT WE
DIDN'T REPEAT WHAT
HAPPENED AT THE END OF THE
FIRST WORLD WAR, WHERE
GERMANY WAS JUST TOTALLY
PUSHED ASIDE.
Reporter: SAMS AND
HENLEY POINT OUT THAT
CHURCHILL LED FROM A CORE
BELIEF AND DIVINE
DESTNITY.
AS A 16-YEAR-OLD SCHOOL
BOY, HE PROPHECIED TO A
FRIEND THAT LONDON WOULD
ONE DAY BE ATTACKED, AND
HE WOULD LEAD ENGLAND TO
VICTORY.
TO THEN STATE CLEARLY
AND WITH CONFIDENCE, NOT
ONLY IS HE GOING TO BE THE
LEADER, BUT YOU'RE GOING
TO LEAD YOUR COUNTRY AND
YOUR EMPIRE TO VICTORY.
THAT BECOMES ABSOLUTELY
IMPOSSIBLE.
BUT IN THE LIGHT OF
HISTORY IN 1945, YOU SEE
THAT IS ACTUALLY THE CASE.
Reporter: SAMS AND
HENLEY SAY IT IS ALMOST
UNBELIEVABLE HOW MANY
TIMES CHURCHILL ESCAPED
DEATH DURING HIS TIME IN
THE BORR WAR AND LATER IN
WORLD WAR I.
HIS PUBLIC REPUTATION
SANKS AS HE WARNED OF
HITLER AND THE NAZIS.
IN THE END, HITLER'S
ADVANCE THRO THROUGH EUROPE
VINDICATED CHURCHILL,
PERFECTLY PREPARING HIM TO
BECOME PRIME MINISTER.
WHEN I WARNED THEM --
GOD HIMSELF WAS
INTERVENING THROUGH THIS
MAN IN THAT PERIOD OF
HISTORY.
SO GOD WILL INTERVENE IN
OUR HISTORY.
HE WILL RAISE UP PEOPLE
LIKE THAT.
Reporter: SAMS AND
HENLEY SAY SUCH A BELIEF
CAN PROVIDE HOPE TODAY,
WHEN, ONCE AGAIN, THE
WORLD IS IN NEED OF A
STRONG LEADER TO STAND UP
AGAINST THE FORCES OF
DARKNESS.
HEATHER SELLS, CBN NEWS.
Erick: THANKS,
HEATHER.
> COMING UP, PRESIDENT
OBAMA SAYS HIS STRATEGY
AGAINST ISIS IS WORKING.
I DISAGREE.
FIND OUT MY STRATEGY TO
DEFEAT THE CALIPHATE AFTER
THE BREAK.
Erick: AND WELCOME
BACK.
WELL, PRESIDENT OBAMA SAYS
HIS STRATEGY TO DEFEAT
ISIS IS WORKING.
I DISAGREE STRONGLY.
THE PRESIDENT REFUSES, NUR
NUMBER ONE, TO PUT ANY
KIND OF SIGNIFICANT GROUND
PRESENCE ON THE GROUND TO
FIGHT AGAINST ISIS IN IRAQ
AND SYRIA.
THAT'S A MISTAKE.
WE DON'T WANT A MAJOR
OCCUPATION OR GROUND
INVASION IN IRAQ OR
SYRIA -- THINK BACK TO
2001 IN AFGHANISTAN, U.S.
SPECIAL FORCES, THE
C.I.A., WERE ON THE GROUND
PROVIDING LEADERSHIP AND
GUIDING THE NORTHERN
ALLIANCE.
THEY WERE ABLE TO ROUTE
THE TALIBAN.
I BELIEVE WE CAN DO THE
SAME TODAY IN IRAQ AND
SYRIA, IF WE WORK WITH THE
KURDS.
FIERCE FIGHTERS, VERY
PRO-AMERICAN, BUT THE U.S.
NEEDS TO BE ON THE GROUND
LEADING THE WAY.
IT DOES NOT REQUIRE 50,000
OR 100,000 AMERICAN
TROOPS, BUT IT DOES
REQUIRE OUR BEST AND
BRIGHTEST, OUR SPECIAL
FORCES, OUR ELITE FORCES,
ON THE GROUND IN A
LEADERSHIP ROLE.
IT WOULD BE GREAT, FOLKS,
IF THE ARAB NATIONS WOULD
DO IT ON THEIR OWN.
IT WOULD BE A GREAT THING.
BUT IT'S NOT HAPPENING.
WE'RE THE LEADER OF THE
FREE WORLD.
WE HAVE A STAKE IN THIS
FIGHT.
REMEMBER AFGHANISTAN
BEFORE 9/11, AND
AL-QAEDA HAD A SAFE HAVEN
TO PLOT AND TO PLAN.
AND 9/11 HAPPENED.
TODAY ISIS HAS A SAFE
HAVEN TO PLOT AND PLAN
ACROSS 36,000 MILES OF
SYRIA AND IRAQ.
AND THEY HAVE THE ADDED
BENEFIT FOR THEM OF
THOUSANDS OF WESTERN
RECRUITS.
FOLKS, THIS IS A DANGEROUS
THING.
THAT SHOWS YOU HOW WE HAVE
A VITAL STAKE IN THIS
FIGHT AGAINST ISIS.
WE NEED TO TAKE A
LEADERSHIP ROLE.
IF YOU CRUSH ISIS
MILITARILY, YOU WILL
DEMORALIZE THE GLOBAL
MOVEMENT AND PUT A DENT IN
THE IDEOLOGY.
THAT'S WHAT WE NEED TO DO.
I DON'T THINK IT IS GOING
TO HAPPEN BEFORE
JANUARY 2017, BUT LET'S
STAY HOPEFUL, LET'S STAY
ENCOURAGED, AND LET'S STAY
IN PRAYER.
THAT'S IT FOR THIS EDITION
OF "THE WATCHMAN."
UNTIL NEXT WEEK, GOD BLESS
YOU AND REMEMBER, NEVER
HOLD YOUR PEACE.
