I'M CAITLIN BURKE.
THE PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY
SEASON GOES NATIONWIDE
TODAY.
IT'S SUPER TUESDAY, THE
BIGGEST VOTING DAY OF THE
YEAR LEADING UP TO THE
GENERAL ELECTION.
DONALD TRUMP AND HILLARY
CLINTON ARE BOTH LEADING
THEIR PARTIES IN NATIONAL
POLLS, BUT WILL VOTERS IN
SOME STATES SEND A NEW
MESSAGE.
DALE HURD HAS THE STORY.
Reporter: ONE QUARTER
OF AMERICANS IN A DOZEN
STATES IN THE U.S.
TERRITORY ARE GOING TO THE
POLLS TODAY WITH A
COMBINED 16,010 DELEGATES
ON THE LINE FOR BOTH
PARTIES.
CLINTON AND TRUMP ARE THE
CLEAR FRONT-RUNNERS FOR
THEIR PARTIES'
NOMINATIONS.
MARCO RUBIO AND TED CRUZ
AND BENITO SANTIAG BERNIE SANDERS ARE
TRYING TO REMAIN ALIVE.
Reporter: CRUZ IS
TRYING TO WIN IN HIS HOME
STATE OF TEXAS.
HE WAS OUT TALKING ABOUT
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY AND THE
SUPREME COURT NOMINATION.
I WILL NOT COMPROMISE
AWAY YOUR RELIGIOUS
LIBERTY.
Reporter: AND THE
JABS BETWEEN DONALD TRUMP
AND MARCO RUBIO ARE STILL
FLYING.
WE ARE NOT GOING TO
ALLOW A CON ARTIST TO TAKE
CONTROL OF THE PARTY OF
LINCOLN AND REAGAN.
IN FLORIDA, WHERE HE
COMES FROM, THIS GUY
COULDN'T BE ELECTED DOG
CATCHER.
Reporter: A TIM "TIME
MAGAZINE" PHOTOGRAPHER AND
A SECRET SERVICE AGENT GOT
INTO A SCUFFLE, AND
PROTESTORS TRIED TO
DISRUPT THE TRUMP RALLY.
TENS OF THOUSANDS --
WHO IS BACK THERE?
ARE YOU BACK HERE,
DARLING?
OH, GET HIM OUT.
Reporter: TED CRUZ
CAN CLAIM TEXAS AND
ARKANSAS, AND MARCO RUBIO
MIGHT HANG ON TO WIN
MINNESOTA.
BUT TRUMP APPEARS TO BE IN
THE LEAD IN EVERY OTHER
STATE.
AND HILLARY CLINTON LOOKS
TO MAINTAIN HER LEAD OVER
BERNIE SANDERS.
I DON'T THINK AMERICA
HAS EVER STOPPED BEING
GREAT.
WHAT WE NEED TO DO NOW IS
MAKE AMERICA WHOLE.
WE CAN WIN THE
DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION.
Reporter: BUT ONLY IF
SANDERS CAN PULL A RABBIT
OUT OF THE HAT TODAY.
A FUNDRAISING E-MAIL FROM
CLINTON SHOWS HE IS
ALREADY LOOKING PAST
SANDERS AND TARGETING
G.O.P. FRONT-RUNNER DONALD
TRUMP.
AND SOME THINK TRUMP COULD
TAKE A HIT IF NEW YORK'S
RELEASES AN AUDIO TAPE
FROM A NEWSPAPER IN
JANUARY.
THE RECORDING ALLEGEDLY
SHOWS TRUMP DOESN'T
BELIEVE WHAT HE IS SAYING
ABOUT IMMIGRATION.
DALE HURD, CBN NEWS.
Caitlin: TODAY
PRESIDENT OBAMA IS MEETING
WITH SENATE REPUBLICAN
LEADERS WHO SAY THEY WILL
NOT CONSIDER ANY SUPREME
COURT NOMINEE UNTIL THE
NEXT PRESIDENT FILLS THE
VACANCY.
MITCHELL McCONNELL AND
JUDICIARY COMMITTEE CHUCK
GRASSLY MEET WITH JOE
BIDEPRESIDENT OBAMA, AND JOSEPH
BIDEN.
> A MAJOR VICTORY FOR
APPLE.
THE JUDGE SAYS THE COMPANY
CANNOT BE FORCED TO UNLOCK
THE iPHONE IN A
NARCOTICS CASE.
THAT CASE WILL BE USED FOR
THE CASE OF THE SAN BERN
BEN SHOOTING.
SAN
BERNARDINO SHOOTING.
APPLE MAINTAINS THAT
WRITING A CODE TO UNLOCK
THAT ONE iPHONE WOULD
COMPROMISE THE SECURITY OF
MILLIONS.
IT WOULD BE TO WRITE A
PIECE OF SOFTWARE THAT WE
VIEW AS THE SOFTWARE
EQUIVALENT OF CANCER.
Caitlin: TODAY'S
APPLE'S LAWYERS ARE ON
CAPITOL HILL BEING
QUESTIONED.
> THE GEORGIA SENATE HAS
WRITTEN A LAW THAT ALLOWS
FAITH-BASED COUPLES TO
MAKE DECISIONS.
HE SAYS HE WILL OPPOSE ANY
BILL THAT IS PERCEIVED AS
ALLOWING DISCRIMINATION.
THE LEGISLATION WOULD
PROTECT RELIGIOUS ADOPTION
AGENCIES, SCHOOLS, AND
OTHER ORGANIZATIONS FROM
BEING DENIED GOVERNMENT
FUNDING FOR THEIR VIEWS ON
MARRIAGE.
> A NAVY SEAL HAS WON
THE HIGHEST MILITARY HONOR
FOR HIS HEROIC RESCUE OF A
DOCTOR CAPTURED IN
AFGHANISTAN.
DAVID BYERS IS THE FIRST
SEAL TO RECEIVE IT IN 40
YEARS, BUT HE SAYS HE IS
NOT THE REAL HERO.
Reporter: ON A COLD
DECEMBER 9th, THREE
YEARS AGO, BYERS WAS ON A
CO-MISSION.
DYLAN JOSEPH HAD BEEN
CAPTURED BY THE TALIBAN
WHILE CARRYING OUT A
MEDICAL MISSION.
President Obama:
THERE WAS REASON TO
BELIEVE THAT THE AMERICAN
DOCTOR WAS ON HIS WAY TO
HELP.
Reporter: A HOSTAGE
RESCUE IS SOMETHING HE
CALLED A NO-FAIL MISSION,
AFTER A DIFFICULT
FOUR-HOUR HIKE THROUGH THE
MOUNTAINS, BYERS AND HIS
TEAM REACHED DR. JOSEPH
AND TOOK ON THE ENEMY.
BYERS WAS FIRST TO FIRE ON
A GUARD OUTSIDE, AND WAS
HIT.
I MADE MY WAY IN RIGHT
BEHIND HIM, AND I WENT
DOWN MY WALL, AND I
ENGAGED THE ENEMY THAT WAS
ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE
WALL.
AND THEN I SAW ANOTHER
PERSON MOVING VISIT THE
FLOOR.
President Obama:
PERHAPS THE HOSTAGE,
PERHAPS ANOTHER GUARD WITH
A WEAPON, BUT THE STRUGGLE
WAS HAND TO HAND.
IT STRADDLED HIM, PINNING
HIM DOWN.
IT HAD ADJUSTED HIS NIGHT
VISION GOGGLES, AND THINGS
CAME INTO FOCUS AND HE WAS
ON TOP OF A GUARD.
AT THE SAME TIME THIS
WAS HAPPENING, CALLING
OUT, TRYING TO FIND THE
LOCATION OF THE AMERICAN
HOSTAGE.
AND FINALLY HE SPOKE UP.
AND IT WAS AT THAT TIME
THAT I ENGAGED THE PERSON
I WAS ON TOP OF AND JUMPED
OFF.
OFF THE GUY I WAS ON, AND
ON TO THE DOCTOR, WHO WAS
ABOUT THREE, FOUR, MAYBE
FIVE FEET AWAY FROM ME TO
MY RIGHT.
Reporter: WHILE
SHIELDING DR. JOSEPH WITH
HIS BODY, BYERS DETECTED
ANOTHER THREAT.
THERE WAS A GUY BEHIND
HIM, WITHIN ARM'S REACH,
AND HE WAS ARMED.
AND I WAS ABLE TO PIN THAT
GUY TO THE WALL BY HIS
THROAT.
Reporter: IT WAS
CHAOTIC, BUT WITHIN
MINUTES, BYERS HAD SAVED
THE LIFE OF DR. JOSEPH AND
HIS TEAMMATES.
PRESIDENT OBAMA AWARDED
HIM WITH THE HIGHEST HONOR
OF THE MILITARY, BUT
SUCCESS CAME WITH A PRICE.
THE FIRST SEAL TO RUSH IN
DURING THE RESCUE, NICK
CHEQUE, DIDN'T SURVIVE.
HE WAS AN AMERICAN
HERO, AND HE WAS A HERO IN
THAT OPERATION.
Reporter: ALTHOUGH
BYERS AND HIS FELLOW SEALS
ARE AMONG THE MOST ELITE
FIGHTERS IN THE WORLD, HE
SAYS HE RELIES ON HIS
FAITH.
FOR EVERY MISSION I'VE
EVER BEEN ON, I'VE ALWAYS
SAID A PRAYER TO PROTECT
US AND LOOK OVER US.
IT HAS GIVEN ME A LOT OF
RESILIENCY TO BE ABLE TO
CARRY ON.
Reporter: HE JOINS A
PRESTIGIOUS LIST OF
MILITARY MEN WHO HAVE WORN
OR WEAR THE MEDAL OF
HONOR.
I PARTICULARLY WANT TO
ACKNOWLEDGE MY BEAUTIFUL
WIFE, MY INCREDIBLE
DAUGHTER, WHO'S SUPPORT
HAS BEEN UNWAVERING.
Reporter: SOON HE'LL
GO BACK TO THE JOB HE
LOVES.
JENNIFER WISHON, CBN NEWS,
THE WHITE HOUSE.
Caitlin: FRENCH
AUTHORITIES ARE TEARING
DOWN ONE OF THE LARGEST
AND ROUGHEST MAKESHIFT
REFUGEE CAMPS IN EUROPE.
KNOWN AS "THE JUNGLE" IT
SITS ABOUT 20 MILES FROM
THE ENGLISH CHANNEL.
ONLY ABOUT 3,000 REFUGEES
REMAIN.
AS BULLDOZERS AND WORKERS
BEGAN THEIR WORK, SOME 200
RIOTERS THREW ROCKS.
IT LED TO LAST WEEK'S
COURT ORDER TO TEAR IT
DOWN.
A NEW FACILITY NEARBY WILL
HOUSE 1500 PEOPLE, BUT
REFUGEES WORRY REGISTERING
WILL KEEP THEM OUT OF THE
U.K.
> FROM ILLEGAL
IMMIGRATION TO HEALTH CARE
TO IRAN'S NUCLEAR DEAL,
G.O.P. PRESIDENTIAL
HOPEFUL DR. BEN CARSON
TOOK ON THOSE TOPICS AND
MORE IN A REGENT
UNIVERSITY PRESIDENTIAL
FORUM ON THE EVE OF SUPER
TUESDAY.
BEFORE SITTING DOWN WITH
PAT ROBERTSON FOR A CANDID
INTERVIEW, CARSON BEGAN BY
TELLING THE AUDIENCE WHAT
DREW HIM INTO POLITICS.
I'M ABSOLUTELY
DELIGHTED TO BE AT HOME AT
REGENT UNIVERSITY, HAVING
SPENT A NUMBER OF YEARS ON
THE BOARD HERE.
Charlene: BEN CARSON
TALKED ABOUT WHY HE
ENTERED THE POLITICAL
ARENA.
PEOPLE ASK ME ALL OF
THE TIME, WHY AFTER A
WONDERFUL CAREER IN
MEDICINE, WOULD YOU GET
INTO THE SLIMEY WORLD OF
POLITICS?
AND I ASK MYSELF THAT,
TOO.
IS IT REALLY WORTH ALL OF
THE THINGS YOU HAVE TO GO
THROUGH?
YOU KNOW, THE LIES AND THE
ATTACKS ON YOU AND ON YOUR
FAMILY.
AND THE ANSWER IS, NO, NOT
IF YOU'RE DOING IT FOR
YOURSELF.
BUT IF YOU'RE DOING IT FOR
ANSWERS, THE ANSWER IS
INFATICALLY YES.
BECAUSE REMEMBER ALL OF
THE PEOPLE WHO DID THINGS
FOR US.
AS A, YO A YOUNGSTER, I WAS A
HORRIBLE STUDENT UNTIL MY
WONDERFUL MOTHER, WITH HER
THIRD GRADE EDUCATION AND
A HORRENDOUS LIFE, PRAYED
TO LIFE FOR WISDOM.
HOW COULD SHE GET HER SONS
TO UNDERSTAND THE
IMPORTANCE OF EDUCATION?
AND YOU KNOW WHAT, GOD
GAVE HER THE WISDOM.
Reporter: HIS SPEECH
WAS FOLLOWED BY AN
INTERVIEW WITH REGENT
UNIVERSITY FOUNDER AND
CHANCELLOR PAT ROBERTSON.
Pat: HAVE A SEAT AND
LET'S TALK A LITTLE BIT.
OKAY.
Pat: YOU HAVE TAKEN
ON THIS RESPONSIBILITY,
AND YOU'VE TRAVELLED THIS
COUNTRY, AND YOU'VE
OBSERVED THE AND YOU'VE
TALKED TO PEOPLE, AND
YOU'VE SEEN WHAT IS
HAPPENING.
GIVE ME YOUR TAKE ON THIS
COUNTRY?
WHAT DO YOU THINK IS
HAPPENING TO THIS COUNTRY?
I THINK PEOPLE IN
AMERICA ARE FRIGHTENED.
AND I THINK THEY'RE ANGRY.
THEY'RE FRIGHTENED BECAUSE
THEY RECOGNIZE THAT THERE
ARE GLOBAL RADICAL ISLAMIC
TERRORISTS WHO WANT TO
DESTROY US, AND THEY DON'T
GET THE IMPRESSION THAT
OUR GOVERNMENT RECOGNIZES
THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE
SITUATION.
I MEAN, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO
IS GO DOWN TO THE BORDER
AND SEE HOW PEOPLE ARE
JUST FLOWING ACROSS THE
BORDER.
I WENT DOWN THERE.
I MEAN, THERE WAS A FENCE
THERE, BUT IT WAS THE KIND
OF THING THAT WOULD HAVE
BARELY SLOWED ME DOWN AS A
KID.
[LAUGHTER]
THE SHERIFFS DOWN THERE
WERE TELLING ME ABOUT ALL
OF THE PEOPLE WHO WERE
COMING THROUGH WHO WERE
WHAT THEY CALL O.T.M.s,
OTHER THAN MEXICANS, NOT
BEING SCREENED IN ANY WAY,
SETTING UP THEIR CELLS
HERE.
PEOPLE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT
THAT.
AND THEY'RE ANGRY BECAUSE
THEY KEEP SENDING PEOPLE
TO CONGRESS WHO ARE
SUPPOSED TO CHANGE THINGS,
BUT NOTHING GETS CHANGED.
IT KEEPS STAYING EXACTLY
THE SAME.
NOW, THE PROBLEM, OF
COURSE, IS WHEN PEOPLE
MAKE DECISIONS BASED ON
ANGER AND FEAR.
THEY USUALLY DON'T MAKE
GOOD DECISIONS.
SO IT'S VERY IMPORTANT
THAT WE MAKE SURE PEOPLE
ARE PROPERLY EDUCATED AND
FULLY UNDERSTAND WHAT IS
GOING ON.
Caitlin: COMING UP,
OUR ONE-ON-ONE INTERVIEW
WITH DR. BEN CARSON
CONTINUES.
HEAR HIS PLAN FOR
RESTORING VIRTUE TO
AMERICA.
Caitlin: BEFORE THE
BREAK, WE TOLD YOU HOW
G.O.P. PRESIDENTIAL
HOPEFUL DR. BEN CARSON
VISITED THE REGENT
UNIVERSITY PRESIDENTIAL
FORUM ON MONDAY, RIGHT
BEFORE TODAY'S SUPER
TUESDAY PRIMARIES.
PAT ROBERTSON ASKED CARSON
ABOUT A BROAD RANGE OF
TOPICS, FROM OBAMACARE TO
SUPREME COURT NOMINEES.
HERE IS CHARLENE AARON
WITH MORE OF THAT
INTERVIEW.
Pat: WE'VE HAD SO
MUCH DISCUSSION ABOUT
IMMIGRANTS, ABOUT
UNDOCUMENTED ALIENS AND SO
FORTH, SENDING THEM BACK,
LEAVING THEM HERE.
WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH
THOSE PEOPLE?
WELL, ACTUALLY -- AND
PLEASE GO TO BEN
CARSON.COM, AND YOU CAN
READ ALL ABOUT IT AND ON
MULTIPLE POLICIES ON
EVERYTHING.
BUT IN YUMA COUNTY,
ARIZONA, THERE ARE NINE
SECTORS ACROSS.
AND ONE OF THE SECTORS IN
YUMA COUNTY, ARIZONA, THEY
PLACED A LAYERED FENCE
WITH AN ASPHALT ROAD IN
BETWEEN FOR QUICK ACCESS.
THEY PUT BORDER GUARDS ON
THE BORDER -- THAT'S A
NOVEL IDEA -- AND THEY
PROSECUTED THE ILLEGAL
CROSSERS.
THEY STOPPED THE ILLEGAL
TRAFFIC BY 90%.
THAT'S AMAZING.
IF WE DID THE SAME THING
ALONG ALL NINE SECTORS,
AND INCLUDED MOTION
DETECTORS, I THINK YOU
COULD GET IT CLOSE TO
100%.
PEOPLE SAY, THEY WOULD DIG
UNDERNEATH, BUT, NO,
BECAUSE WE HAVE RADAR
EQUIPMENT THAT WOULD SHOW
WHAT IS HAPPENING.
THAT WOULD STOP THAT PART
OF THE MIGRATION.
THE SECOND PART IS YOU
HAVE TO CUT OFF THE
SPIGGOT THAT SUPPLIES THE
GOODIES.
IF THERE ARE NO GOODIES,
PEOPLE AREN'T GOING TO BE
INCENTAVISED TO COME HERE.
BUT YOU STILL HAVE THE
11.5 MILLION PEOPLE HERE.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO
WITH THEM?
I WOULD PROVIDE THEM -- IF
THEY HAVE A CLEAN RECORD,
A GOOD RECORD -- AN
OPPORTUNITY, A SIX-MONTH
WINDOW TO GET REGISTERED
AS GUEST WORKERS.
THEY HAVE TO HAVE A JOB.
THEY HAVE TO PAY A BACK
TAX PENALTY.
THEY HAVE TO PAY TAXES
GOING FORWARD.
THEY DO NOT VOTE.
THEY DO NOT BECOME
AMERICAN CITIZENS.
IF THEY WANT TO BE
AMERICAN CITIZENS, THEY
HAVE TO GO THROUGH EXACTLY
THE SAME THING ANY OTHER
PERSON WOULD HAVE TO GO
THROUGH BECAUSE WE ALREADY
HAVE ADEQUATE LAWS TO DO
THAT.
Charlene: AND HE ALSO
DISCUSSED THE IRAN NUCLEAR
DEALS AND THE DECLINING
CREDIBILITY OF THE UNITED
STATES.
THAT WAS DONE AS AN
EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE.
AND WASN'T DONE AS A
TREATY.
I THINK IT SHOULD HAVE
BEEN DONE AS A TREATY
BECAUSE IT HAD WIDE
IMPLICATIONS.
AND NOT ONLY WAS IT A
HORRIBLE DEAL, BUT, YOU
KNOW, WHAT DOES IT SAY TO
ALL OF OUR FRIENDS AND
ALLIES THROUGHOUT THE
ARABIAN PENINSULA.
Pat: ISIL, THE
ISLAMIC STATE IN THE
LEVANT, THE ALIVE STATE IN
SYRIA -- WHY DON'T YOU
THINK THE PRESIDENT WILL
CALL THOSE PEOPLE WHO THEY
ARE?
HE WILL NOT USE THE TERM
"ISLAMIC TERRORISTS."
HE WILL NOT USE IT.
WHAT MINDSET DO YOU THINK
IS GOING ON THERE?
WELL, YOU KNOW, IT'S
HARD TO UNDERSTAND HIS
MINDSET, TO BE HONEST WITH
YOU.
YOU KNOW, LAST WEEK, AS
YOU KNOW, THE MEDIA WAS
ALL OVER ME BECAUSE I SAID
BARACK OBAMA DIDN'T GROW
UP WITH THE TYPICAL
AFRICAN-AMERICAN
EXPERIENCE.
[LAUGHTER]
AND I SAID, HE GREW UP
IN HAWAII, AND HE HAD
WHITE GRANDPARENTS WHO
WERE VERY AFFLUENT, AND HE
SPENT HIS FORMATIVE YEARS
IN INDONESIA WITH HIS
WHITE MOTHER.
I SAID, DO YOU THINK THAT
IS A TIP AFRICAN-AMERICAN
EXPERIENCE?
BUT DURING THOSE FORMATIVE
YEARS, WHO KNOWS WHAT WAS
GOING THROUGH HIS HEAD.
AND THEN WHEN HE CAME BACK
HERE, A MENTOR, FRANK
MARSHAL DAVIS, A
CARD-CARRYING COMMUNIST --
SO IT'S VERY HARD TO
UNDERSTAND WHAT HIS
MOTIVATIONS ARE WHAT HE
THINKS.
Charlene: THE
INTERVIEW ALSO COVERED
DOMESTIC POLICY AND THE
ISSUE OF HEALTH CARE.
Pat: THE
ADMINISTRATION JAMMED DOWN
OUR THROATS SOMETHING THAT
IS KNOWN AS OBAMACARE.
IT HAS TURNED OUT TO BE A
DISASTER.
WHAT WOULD YOU DO TO FIX
THAT?
WELL, I DON'T KNOW THAT
IT CAN BE FIXED, BUT I
WOULD CERTAINLY PROVIDE
SOMETHING -- SEE, I DON'T
THINK IT IS REASONABLE FOR
THE GOVERNMENT TO COME UP
WITH SOMETHING.
AND THEN IT IS SO HORRIBLE
THAT YOU HAVE TO FORCE
PEOPLE INTO IT.
I THINK YOU HAVE TO O HAVE HAVE
SOMETHING THAT IS SO
ATTRACTIVE THAT EVERYBODY
WANTS IT.
SO WHAT I PROPOSE IS
HEALTH EMPOWERMENT
ACCOUNTS, WHICH ARE JUST
LIKE A HEALTH SAVINGS
ACCOUNT, MINUS THE
BUREAUCRATS.
Charlene: DAVID BRODY
MODERATED THE FORUM AND
FIELDED QUESTIONS FROM THE
AUDIENCE.
AS PRESIDENT, WHAT
WOULD YOU DO TO PROMOTE A
RETURN TO VIRTUE IN THE
NATIONAL MENTALITY THERE THAT WE
HAVE TODAY, SPECIFICALLY
IN THE YOUTH OF THIS
NATION?
David: A VERY
CRUCIAL QUESTION HERE.
WELL, ONE OF THE
REASONS WE'VE GOTTEN AWAY
FROM VIRTUE IS BECAUSE OF
THE POLITICALLY-CORRECT
ENVIRONMENT THAT SAYS
THERE IS NO RIGHT, THERE
IS NO WRONG, EVERYTHING IS
RELATIVE.
THERE IS ABSOLUTELY
NOTHING WRONG WITH THE
VALUES AND PRINCIPLES THAT
MADE US INTO A GREAT
NATION.
AND THIS IS A NATION THAT
DOES HAVE A
JUDEO-CHRISTIAN
FOUNDATION.
AND A LOT OF PEOPLE TRY TO
TELL YOU THAT OUR
FOUNDERS, THEY WERE
DEISTS, AND THEY DIDN'T
BELIEVE IN GOD.
THAT'S NOT TRUE.
BEN FRANKLIN SAID, "CAN
ANYTHING OCCUR WITHOUT
GOD'S NOTICE AND
INTERVENTION."
AND IF HE CAN SEE A
SPARROW FALL AND BE CARING
ABOUT IT -- YOU WOULDN'T
SAY THAT IF YOU WERE A
DEIST.
IF I WERE PRESIDENT, I
WOULD WORK VERY HARD ON
ELIMINATING THE BAN ON
CHRISTIANITY IN OUR PUBLIC
SCHOOLS.
David: WHAT ARE YOUR
CRITERIA FOR A JUDICIAL
NOMINEE?
I THINK YOU HAVE TO
LOOK AT THEIR ENTIRE LIFE.
MATTHEW 7: 20 SAYS: "BY
THEIR FRUIT, YOU WILL KNOW
THEM."
THAT'S WHAT I MEAN BY THE
FRUIT SALE.
YOU LOOK AT WHAT KIND OF
THINGS HAVE THEY RULED ON.
WHAT KIND OF THINGS ARE
THEY ASSOCIATED WITH?
WHAT HAVE THEY DONE
THROUGHOUT THEIR LIVES,
WHICH WILL TELL YOU A LOT
MORE THAN AN INTERVIEW OR
SEVERAL INTERVIEWS THEY'VE
BEEN PREPPED FOR.
Caitlin: UP NEXT, HE
WAS RAISING 23 CHILDREN,
AND AS YOU MIGHT IMAGINE,
HE NEEDED SOME HELP.
FIND OUT HOW CBN CAME TO
THE RESCUE AFTER THIS.
Caitlin: FOR OVER 50
YEARS, CBN PARTNERS HAVE
GIVEN FOOD AND SUPPLIES TO
PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD.
IN THAILAND, THEY HELPED
ONE MAN WHO WAS RAISING 23
CHILDREN.
Reporter: AS MALACHI
RUSHED UP THIS MOUNTAIN IN
THAILAND, HE KNEW A BABY'S
LIFE WAS IN DANGER.
THE MOTHER HAD DIED IN
CHILDBIRTH.
THE WOMAN WHO CALLED ME
WAS A CHRISTIAN.
SHE SAID THE FATHER WANTED
TO PUT THE BABY UNDER HER
MOTHER'S BODY UNTIL SHE
STOPPED BREATHING.
Reporter: MALACHI
QUICKLY RESCUED THE
NEWBORN, AND WITH THE
FATHER'S CONSENT BROUGHT
HER HOME TO HIS WIFE.
THEY ADOPTED HER AND NAMED
HER MUK, WHICH MEANS
PEARL.
I WAS ORPHANED WHEN I
WAS A CHILD, AND I KNEW
SHE REALLY WAS A PRECIOUS
GIFT TO OUR FAMILY.
MUK REALLY IS LIKE A
PEARL.
Reporter:
MUK IS JUST
ONE OF THE 20 ORPHANED OR
VULNERABLE CHILDREN THAT
THE COUPLE HAS TAKEN IN.
FOR YEARS MALACHI GREW
RICE ON A BORROWED FIELD
TO SUPPORT THEM.
THEN THE OWNER TOOK BACK
HIS FIELD AND THE
CHILDREN'S HOME RAN LOW ON
FOOD AND MONEY.
THE THOUGHT OF SENDING
THE CHILDREN AWAY MADE ME
FEEL TERRIBLE.
I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
WE NEEDED HELP.
Reporter: MALACHI AND
SOPA GATHERED THE CHILDREN
TOGETHER TO PRAY.
WHEN CBN MET
THE COUPLE
WHO HAD OPENED THEIR HOME
TO BABY MUK AND SO MANY
OTHER CHILDREN, WE OFFERED
TO HELP.
FIRST WE GAVE THEM ENOUGH
RICE, NOODLES, EGGS, AND
FISH TO FEED EVERYONE FOR
A MONTH.
NEXT, WE BUILT THEM A NEW
KITCHEN TO BE ABLE TO
PROPERLY PREPARE THAT
FOOD.
FINALLY TO HELP MALACHI
AND SOPA TO KEEP THE
CHILDREN'S HOME OPEN, WE
PROVIDED EVERYTHING NEEDED
TO START TWO BUSINESSES,
ONE WEAVING AND THE OTHER
RAISING FISH TO EAT AND
SELL.
AND THIS IS MUK NOW AT AGE
TWO, BOTH HEALTHY AND
HAPPY.
I'M SO GRATEFUL FOR
CBN'S HELP.
YOU SHOWED MERCY TO OUR
CHILDREN AND GAVE THEM A
FUTURE.
I BELIEVE THINGS WILL JUST
KEEP GETTING BETTER AND
BETTER FOR OUR HOME.
Caitlin: FINALLY
TODAY, WE'RE TAKING A LOOK
AT SOMETHING REMARKABLE.
THIS IS WHAT IS BEING
CALLED A SUPER BLOOM.
IT IS HAPPENING IN DEATH
VALLEY, CALIFORNIA.
THE R AREA IS ONE OF THE
DRIEST PLACES ON EARTH.
IT TYPICALLY ONLY GETS
ABOUT TWO INCHES OF RAIN
EACH YEAR.
BUT THIS YEAR THE AREA GOT
MORE THAN USUAL.
JUST ENOUGH TO TRANSFORM
IT INTO THIS.
JUST ANOTHER REMINDER OF
GOD'S MAGESTY.
EVEN IF YOU'RE FEELING
DEAD AND DRY IN YOUR OWN
LIFE, REMEMBER THERE ARE
SEEDS PLANTED IN YOU THAT
ARE JUST WAITING FOR THE
RIGHT CONDITIONS TO BREAK
FORTH AND SHOW GOD'S
BEAUTY.
