Efrem: TODAY ON

"NEWSWATCH," MESSY

POLITICS, WE'LL BREAK DOWN

WHY THIS IS ONE OF THE

MOST UNUSUAL AND UGLY

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS IN

RECENT YEARS.

> PLUS...APPLE WANTS

ANSWERS.

THE TECH GIANT IS

DEMANDING THE F.B.I.

EXPLAIN HOW IT HACKED INTO

THE SAN BERNARDINO

TERRORISTS' PHONES.

THEY REALIZED IF THEY

DO THEIR JOB, THEY'RE

GOING TO BE VILIFIED IN

THE MEDIA.

AND THEY WILL NOT DO THEIR

JOB AS VIGOROUSLY AS THEY

MAY HAVE BEFORE.

Efrem: SEE WHAT IS

MAKING IT TOUGHER THAN

EVER FOR POLICE TO DO

THEIR JOB.

> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR

JOINING US FOR CBN

"NEWSWATCH."

I'M EFREM GRAHAM.

ONE OF THE MOST UNUSUAL

AND UGLY PRESIDENTIAL

RACES IN MEMORY IS GETTING

EVEN MORE UNUSUAL AND

UGLIER.

AND NOW THE LEADING G.O.P.

CANDIDATE IS NOT EVEN

PLANNING TO SUPPORT THE

EVENTUAL PRESIDENTIAL

NOMINEE.

HERE IS CHARLENE AARON.

Charlene: REPUBLICAN

FRONT-RUNNER DONALD TRUMP

IS DEFENDING HIS CAMPAIGN

MANAGER, COREYK/K/

LEWANDOWSKI, WHO FACES A

CRIMINAL CHARGE OF BATTERY

FROM GRABBING A REPORTER'S

ARM.

THIS SHOWS TRUMP WITH

MICHELLE FIELDS BY HER

SIDE.

TRUMP CALLS THE CHARGES

UNFAIR AND SAYS COREY

LEWANDOWSKI WILL CONTINUE

AS HIS CAMPAIGN MANAGER.

YES, HE WILL.

I LOOKED AT MY TAPE.

IT WAS AT ONE OF MY

PLACES.

I HAVE GREAT SECURITY AND

GREAT SECURITY CAMERAS.

FRANKLY, IF YOU LOOK AT

THAT, AND PEOPLE HAVE

LOOKED AT IT -- IN FACT, I

JUST LEFT ANOTHER AREA OF

WISCONSIN, AND WE HAD

ANOTHER BIG MEETING WITH A

WHOLE GROUP OF PEOPLE, A

BIG AUDIENCE, AND THEY'RE

ALL SHAKING THEIR HEADS,

GIVE ME A BREAK.

Charlene: OTHER

CANDIDATES, INCLUDING

TRUMP'S RIVAL, TED CRUZ,

WEIGHED IN ON THE

CONTROVERSY.

IT SHOULDN'T BE

COMPLICATED.

MEMBERS OF THE CAMPAIGN

SHOULD NOT BE TOUCHING

REPORTERS.

CRUZ SAYS HE WILL REPORT

OF REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL

NOMINEE, EVEN IF IT IS

DONALD TRUMP, BUT HE

DOESN'T EXPECT THAT BE TO

AN ISSUE.

LET ME TELL YOU MY

SOLUTION TO THAT: DONALD

IS NOT GOING TOB THE GOING TO BE THE

NOMINEE.

Charlene: AND HILLARY

CLINTON FACES A BIG

CHALLENGE FROM BERNIE

SANDERS IN NEW YORK.

POLLS SHOW HER LEADING IN

NEW YORK, WHERE SHE WAS A

SENATOR THERE.

BUT SANDERS WAS BORN IN

NEW YORK, AND HIS

POLITICAL CAMPAIGN HAS

OUTLINED A NEW STRATEGY

FOR DOING WELL THERE, BY

TARGETING KEY DISTRICTS TO

BOOST HIS VOTE.

AND ANOTHER JUDGE HAS

RAISED QUESTIONS ABOUT HER

HANDLING OF HER E-MAILS.

THE JUDGE LAMBERT CALLED

HER USE OF A PRIVATE

E-MAIL FOR GOVERNMENT

SERVICE AS EXTRAORDINARY,

IN AN ORDER FILED IN

FEDERAL COURT ON TUESDAY,

AND HE SAID THERE WAS

EVIDENCE OF WRONG-DOING

AND BAD FAITH IN THE

ISSUE.

THIS WILD CAMPAIGN SEASON

MAY NOT BE OVER,

ESPECIALLY FOR THE

REPUBLICANS, UNTIL THE

CONVENTION.

THE CONTESTED CONVENTION

FOR THE REPUBLICANS STILL

A POSSIBILITY.

CHARLENE AARON, CBN NEWS.

Efrem: A MINNESOTA

MAN WITH TIES TO ISIS IS

ACCUSED OF THREATENING TO,

QUOTE,"SHOOT UP A

WALGREENS ON SUNDAY."

23 YEARS OLD ABDUL ALI

SKELTON FACES THREE

TERRORIST ACCOUNT CHARGES FOR

MAKING TERRORIST THREATS.

> THE F.B.I. IS NOT

SHARING ITS HACKING SECRET

WITH APPLE.

THAT IS A ACCORDING TO THE

LOS ANGELES TIMES.

THE AGENCY SUCCESSFULLY

HACKED INTO THE iPHONE

THAT BELONGED TO ONE OF

THE SAN BERNARDINO

KILLERS.

THE F.B.I. SAID IT USED A

MYSTERIOUS METHOD, WITHOUT

APPLE'S HELP, TO HELP HACK

INTO THE iPHONE.

LOTS OF FOLKS HAVE COME

TO US WITH POTENTIAL

IDEAS.

IT LOOKS LIKE WE MAY HAVE

ONE THAT MAY WORK OUT.

Efrem: THE AGENCY

USED SOFTWARE TO RUN

THROUGH CODES UNTIL IT

CRACKED THE CORRECT ONE.

IT IS NOT CLEAR WHAT

INFORMATION WAS GATHERED

AFTER THE PHONE WAS

HACKED.

> FIDEL CASTRO HAS

WRITTEN A HARSH RESPONSE

TO PROBLEME PRESIDENT OBAMA'S

VISIT.

HE DISMISSES THE

PRESIDENTS OVERTURES TO

LEAVE THE PAST BEHIND.

CASTRO ALSO CRITICIZES

MOVES BY THE OBAMA

ADMINISTRATION TO INCREASE

BUSINESS TIES TO CUBA,

SAYING, QUOTE,"WE DON'T

NEED THE EMPIRE TO GIVE US

ANYTHING."

> UTAH NOW REQUIRES

DOCTORS TO GIVE ANESTHESIA

TO WOMEN HAVING ABORTIONS

IT IS THE FIRST STATE IN

THE COUNTRY TO PASS THIS

LAW.

THE GOAL IS TO PROTECT

UNBORN BABIES FROM FEELING

PAIN BECAUSE SUPPORTERS

SAY EVIDENCE SHOWS BABIES

IN THE WOMB SUFFER PAIN,

JUST LIKE THE REST OF US.

OTHER STATES HAVE TRIED TO

ENACT SIMILAR LAWS, BUT

NONE HAVE SUCCEEDED.

> THE SUPREME COURT IS

EXPLORING A COMPROMISED

RULING IN A SHOWDOWN

BETWEEN "THE LITTLE

SISTERS OF THE POOR," AND

THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION

OVER THE BIRTH CONTROL

MANDATE.

THEY WANT TO BYPASS THE

RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATION AND

RECEIVE BIRTH CONTROL

DIRECTLY FROM THE ENSURER.

THIS WOULD KEEP THE

NON-PROFIT FROM HAVING ANY

INVOLVEMENT IN PROVIDING

BIRTH CONTROL.

> HAVE YOU EVER DOUBTED

THAT NOAH COULD BUILD AN

ARK SO LARGE THAT ALL OF

THE ANIMALS COULD FIT?

WELL, THE NOAH'S ARK IS

HERE, AND WE GOT A SPECIAL

PREVIEW OF THE PROJECT.

Reporter: CBN NEWS

WENT BEHIND THE SCENES SO

SEE THE GIANT ARK AS IT

COMES TOGETHER.

KEN HAMM GAVE THE TOUR UP,

DOWN, AND ALL AROUND THE

STRUCTURE, WHICH IS ALMOST

TWO FOOTBALL FIELDS.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT

PEOPLE SAY WHEN THEY COME

HERE, THEY SAY, WOW, WE

NEVER REALIZED IT WAS SO

BIG.

I WOULD CALL IT A

JAW-DROPPING EXPERIENCE.

Reporter: THEY CALL

THIS "THE ARK ENCOUNTER."

AND IT IS SO BIG, YOU

REALLY DO ENCOUNTER IT.

PEOPLE WHO ARE USED TO

THE BAT BATHTUB, AND WHEN THEY

SEE THE SIZE OF THIS, THEY

START SAYING, MAYBE NOAH

COULD FIT ALL OF THE

ANIMALS INSIDE.

WE'VE GOT TO HAVE

WORKING CAGES.

THEY'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE

LIVE ANIMALS IN THEM.

BUT THEY HAVE SCULPTED

ANIMALS THAT ARE

EXQUISITE.

THE EXHIBITS IN THE ARK

ITSELF WILL BE STUNNING,

VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT IS

SEEN AT THE CREATION

MUSEUM 40 HOURS AWAY.

Reporter: ARK

ENCOUNTER OPENS TO THE

PUBLIC ON JULY 7.

IN GENESIS 7/7, IS WHEN

IT SAYS NOAH OPENED THE

ARK.

Reporter: SEVERAL

DOZENS AMISH ARCHITECTS

BUILT THIS LARGEST

STRUCTURE IN THE WORLD.

THERE ARE DOZENS AND

DOZENS OF THESE TIMBERS,

AND LOOK AT HOW ABSOLUTELY

MASSIVE THE THINGS ARE.

THEY SOAR ABOVE YOUR HEAD

FIVE STORIES HIGH.

IF PEOPLE GO AWAY

SAYING, MAYBE I NEED TO

LOOK INTO THIS, MAYBE I

NEED TO CONSIDER WHAT THE

BIBLE SAYS, THEN TO ME,

WE'VE ACCOMPLISHED A LOT.

Reporter: PAUL

STRAND, CBN NEWS,

REPORTING FROM ARK

ENCOUNTER NEAR

WILLIAMSTOWN, KENTUCKY.

Efrem: FIGHTING FOR

WELLNESS.

NEXT WE'LL HEAR FROM ONE

OF AMERICA'S LEADING

MEDICAL EXPERTS ON WHAT IT

TAKES TO GET YOUR HEALTH

ON THE RIGHT TRACK.

Efrem: THINK YOU'RE

THE ONLY ONE WHO PUTS

HEALTHY LIFESTYLE CHOICES

LOW ON YOUR LIST OF

PRIORITIES?

THINK AGAIN.

MOST AMERICANS STRUGGLE TO

KEEP AFLOAT, JUGGLING

CAREERS, FAMILY, AND OTHER

COMMITMENTS, TO THE POINT

WHERE THEY SIMPLY DON'T

HAVE TIME TO THINK ABOUT

WHAT IT TAKES TO GET

HEALTHY.

NEW NUMBERS SHOW 97% OF

AMERICANS LIVE AN

UNHEALTHY LIFESTYLE.

HILLARY JOHNSON RECENTLY

SPOKE WITH DR. ALANA

GEORGE ABOUT WHAT IT TAKES

TO GET ON THE RIGHT TRACK.

Reporter: DR. GEORGE,

IS IT REALLY THAT BAD?

UNFORTUNATELY, IT IS.

I THINK A LOT OF US DON'T

EVEN THINK ABOUT WHAT WE

PUT INTO OUR MOUTHS MOST

OF THE TIME.

BUT I THINK IT IS STARTING

TO CATCH UP WITH FOLKS,

ALL OF THE PROCESSED

FOODS, ALL OF THE LATE

NIGHTS, NOT DRINKING

ENOUGH WATER, NOT HANDLING

STRESS IN A HEALTHY WAY,

AND THESE THINGS ALL ADD

UP TO WHETHER YOU'RE

HEALTHY OR NOT OVER TIME.

Lori: THIS RESEARCH

LOOKED AT A VERY LARGE

SAMPLING OF ABOUT 5,000

PEOPLE, AND IT ZEROED IN

ON A HANDFUL OF KEY

MEASUREMENTS OF HEALTH.

TALK ABOUT WHAT THOSE ARE.

ONE OF THE THINGS IS

HOW MUCH EXERCISE YOU GET.

IF YOU DON'T EXERCISE AND

GET YOUR HEART HEALTH

OPTIMIZED, THAT'S A BIG

DEAL.

EATING LOTS OF SUGAR, AND

NOT JUST PUTTING IT IN,

BUT THE FOODS YOU CHOOSE

TO EAT, IF THEY HAVE A LOT

OF HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN

SYRUP, THAT PUTS A LOT OF

STRESS ON THE PANCREAS,

AND BLOOD SUGAR GOES UP,

AND THAT MAKES YOU MORE

LIKELY TO MOVE TOWARDS

DIABETES.

AGAIN, PROCESSED FOODS,

MOSTLY, CAN LEAD TO HIGH

BLOOD PRESSURE.

AND THE THING THAT IS A

LITTLE BIT NOT TALKED

ABOUT SO MUCH IS HOW MUCH

SLEEP WE GET.

THE BODY IS EXTREMELY

SENSITIVE TO PEOPLE WHO

ARE SLEEP-DEPRIVED.

SO IF YOU DON'T GET ENOUGH

SLEEP, LET'S SAY YOU SNORE

AT NIGHT, ALL OF THOSE

THINGS CAN CONSPIRE

AGAINST YOU.

BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T HAVE

ENOUGH OXYGEN IN THE

SYSTEM, YOUR

CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM AND

HEART AND BRAIN END UP

GETTING STRESSED.

MOST OF THE DISEASES WE'RE

SEEING ARE LIFESTYLE AND

DIET-RELATED.

Lori: SO MANY PEOPLE

ARE, LIKE, YEAH, THAT

SOUNDS GREAT, BUT I'VE GOT

THIS JOB THAT CONSUMES ME

AND THEN THERE ARE MY KIDS

AND MY AILING PARENTS.

A LOT OF PEOPLE PUT THEIR

HEALTH LOW ON THE TOTEM

POLL ON THEIR LIST OF

PRIORITIES.

IS THERE ANYTHING YOU CAN

SAY TO HELP THEM WITH

THEIR HECTIC, BUSY LIVES?

I THINK THE FIRST THING

YOU HAVE TO DO IS HAVE A

MINDSET CHANGE.

I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND WHERE

PEOPLE ARE COMING FROM.

I WAS THERE.

AND I REALIZED QUICKLY IF

I WANTED TO LOSE WEIGHT

AND STAY AROUND TO LIVE TO

BE A HEALTHY, OLDER AGE, I

NEEDED TO MAKE SOME

CHANGES.

HOW ABOUT GOING TO BED AN

HOUR OR TWO EARLIER EACH

NIGHT.

TURN OFF THE COMPUTER,

TURN OFF ALL OF THE LIGHTS

SO YOU GET A GOOD NIGHT

SLEEP.

DRINK LESS SODA AND

PROCESSED FOODS AND DRINK

MORE WATER, FILTERED

WATER, PREFERABLY.

AND MAYBE WALK UP THE

STEPS AT WORK, INSTEAD OF

TAKING THE ELEVATOR.

PARK FARTHER FROM YOUR JOB

SO YOU HAVE TO DO SOME

EXERCISE.

A LITTLE BIT WORKS.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO EXERCISE

FOR AN HOUR IN THE GYM

LIFTING RATES.

BUT GET YOUR HEART RATE

UP.

LITTLE THINGS LIKE THAT.

CONSULTINCUTTING THE SALT.

MAYBE NOT GOING TO A FAST

FOOD RESTAURANT AS OFTEN.

AND ONCE YOU START TO FEEL

GOOD, YOU WANT TO CONTINUE

THAT, AND IT GETS EASIER

AS YOU GO ON.

Lori: YOU DID MENTION

THE HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN

SYRUP.

AND HOW DO PEOPLE

RECOGNIZE THAT?

I THINK YOU SAID IT IS NOT

ALWAYS JUST IN THE SWEET

FOODS, JUST THE DESSERTS.

NO.

IT IS ALSO IN THE DIET

FOODS BECAUSE THEY REPLACE

THE FAT WITH SUGAR.

YOU'RE BETTER OFF MAKING

IT YOURSELF.

MAKE YOUR OWN LEMONADE

USING STEVIA AS YOUR SUGAR

SUBSTITUTE.

YOU CAN BUY SOFT DRINKS

MADE WITH CANE SUGAR

INSTEAD OF HIGH FRUCTOSE

CORN SYRUP.

YOU HAVE TO TAKE YOUR

TIME, AS YOU'RE WALKING

THROUGH THESE AISLES, AND

READ THE LABEL.

YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE HIGH

FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP OR

SUGAR OR SALT AS THE

SECOND OR THIRD INGREDIENT

ON THAT LABEL.

IF YOU START GOING ORGANIC

IF YOU CAN, MAYBE JUST

FRUIT AND VEGETABLES

FIRST, AND THEN MOVE ON TO

OTHER THINGS.

CUT THE CARBS IN YOUR

DIET.

TOO MUCH WHITE PRODUCTS,

WHETHER IT IS WHITE FLOUR,

WHITE POTATOES, RICE,

PASTA, THEY INCREASE YOUR

SUGAR LOAD AND YOUR

PANCREAS HAS TO WORK

HARDER.

MORE GREENS, LEAN MEATS,

FISH, REST.

THE SAME THING YOUR MOM

TOLD YOU TO DO, IT

ACTUALLY WORKS.

Lori: IS IT TRUE THAT

HEALTHY FATS CAN MAKE US

FEEL FULL AND HELP US LOSE

WEIGHT.

I'M THINKING ABOUT THINGS

LIKE NUTS, AVOCADOS, OILS,

EGGS -- WHERE DO YOU COME

DOWN ON THE SATURATED

FATS, LIKE EGGS AND MEAT?

LET'S BE CLEAR.

I THINK THIS IS SOMETHING

PEOPLE HAVE NOT REALLY

NOTICED, IF YOU DON'T HAVE

ENOUGH FAT IN YOUR DIET,

IT AFFECTS YOU.

WE'VE GONE TO VERY LOW-FAT

DIETS, AND THE BRAIN

SUFFERS BECAUSE OF THAT.

SO YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY

RIGHT.

YOU WANT TO HAVE A

MEDIUM-CHAINED FATTY ACID.

COCONUT OIL, AVOCADO,

NUTS -- EVERYTHING YOU

JUST SAID IN THAT LIST,

THOSE ARE IMPORTANT TO ADD

TO YOUR DIET BECAUSE IT

ACTUALLY HELPS YOUR BODY

REGENERATE.

IT HELPS YOUR LIVER AND

HELPS YOU LOSE WEIGHT AS

WELL.

Lori: GREAT

INFORMATION.

THIS IS FANTASTIC ADVICE,

DR. GEORGE.

EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS.

I LOVE HOW YOU SAID THAT.

IF YOU BLOW IT, DON'T GIVE

UP, JUST GET BACK ON

TRACK.

YOUR TIPS ARE VERY DOABLE,

AND SO THERE IS EVERY

REASON FOR HOPE.

THANKS FOR THE MOTIVATION

AND FOR SPEAKING WITH US

TODAY.

Efrem: FOR MORE TIPS

ON GETTING FIT AND LIVING

A HEALTHY LIFE, SIMPLY LOG

ON TO cbnnews.com.

> UP NEXT, POLICE SAY IT

IS GETTING HARDER FOR THEM

TO DO THEIR JOB.

WE'RE GOING TO SHOW YOU

WHY.

Efrem: THEY CALL IT

THE FERGUSON EFFECT, A

GROWING ANIMOSITY AGAINST

POLICE FROM COMMUNITIES

THEY SERVE.

AS LAW ENFORCEMENT

OFFICERS ENDURE INTENSE

SCRUTINY, THEY'RE ALSO

DEALING WITH A SPIKE OF

VIOLENCE.

AND SOME SAY THE THIN BLUE

LINE IS BEING STRETCHED TO

THE BREAKING POINT.

Reporter: JOE COLLINS

IS A HUSBAND AND FATHER OF

TWO BOYS WHO LIVES IN

BLACKSBURG, VIRGINIA.

HE IS A VETERAN OF BOTH

THE MARINES AND THE U.S.

ARMY.

AND HE HAS SEEN PLENTY OF

COMBAT.

OUR TEAM WAS HIT 11

TIMES.

OUR COMPANY WAS HIT

APPROXIMATELY 150 TIMES.

AND WE FOUND PROBABLY THE

SAME AMOUNT OF THAT.

Reporter: WHEN JOE

RETURNED FROM IRAQ, HE

FELT LIKE LAW ENFORCEMENT

WAS ONE PLACE WHERE HE

COULD CONTINUE TO SERVE.

OBVIOUSLY, YOU HAVE A

LOT OF VETERANS COMING

BACK.

THEY'RE GETTING OUT OF THE

MILITARY, AND THEY'RE

LOOKING FOR SOMETHING WITH

THAT SAME TYPE

BROTHERHOOD.

Reporter: HE LOVED

THE 14 YEARS HE SPENT AS A

COP, BUT HE SAYS POLICE

WORK IS BECOMING

INCREASINGLY DANGEROUS.

IT IS GETTING WORSE.

THAT MEANS IT IS GETTING

MORE DANGEROUS FOR THE MEN

IN BROWN AND BLUE AND

WHATEVER UNIFORM THEY

WEAR.

Reporter: POLICE WORK

HAS ALWAYS BEEN A TOUGH

JOB, AND NO ONE SAYS COPS

ARE PERFECT.

SO FAR IN 2016, OFFICER

DEATHS BY SHOOTING ARE UP

300% FROM THE PREVIOUS

YEAR, WITH A MARKED

INCREASE IN AMBUSH-STYLE

ATTACKS.

IN FEBRUARY, ASHLEY GINDON

WAS MURDERED RESPONDING TO

A DOMESTIC DISTURBANCE IN

VIRGINIA.

IT WAS HER FIRST DAY ON

THE JOB.

SHE WAS THE 10TH OFFICER

TO DIE IN THE LINE OF DUTY

IN FEBRUARY.

POLICE OFTEN HAVE TO MAKE

SPLIT-SECOND DECISIONS.

AND MANY FEEL THEIR NEXT

CALL COULD END UP AS A

VIRAL VIDEO, POSSIBLY

ENDING THEIR CAREER OR

EVEN THEIR LIFE.

MIKE COWEN IS A S.W.A.T.

OFFICER IN MISSISSIPPI.

I DO THINK THERE IS

CERTAINLY SOME HESITATION,

AND I'M A FIRM BELIEVER

THAT HESITATION WILL GET

YOU KILLED.

THERE IS CERTAINLY A

WILLINGNESS TO LET THINGS

SLIDE A LITTLE MORE

BECAUSE IT IS NOT WORTH

THE PAPERWORK OR TRYING TO

EXPLAIN YOURSELF BECAUSE

PEOPLE DON'T FEEL LIKE

THEY HAVE THE

ADMINISTRATION'S BACKING.

Reporter: MICHAEL

WOOD IS AN AUTHOR AND

CONTRIBUTOR TO THE WEBSITE

POLICE ONE.

I THINK THERE IS A

DEGREE OF DIFFERENCE IN

THE LACK OF SUPPORT THE

POLICE OFFICERS ARE

GETTING TODAY, COMPARED TO

THEIR GRANDFATHERS.

IT HAS A CHILLING

EFFECT ON THE OFFICERS

WHEN THEY REALIZE IF THEY

DO THEIR JOB, THEIR GOING

TO BE VILIFIED IN THE

MEDIA, AND THEY'RE NOT

GOING TO BE SUPPORTED BY

THEIR AGENCIES.

WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT

SOME OF THESE BIG,

NATIONWIDE EVENTS AND ALL

OF THE PRESS THEY'VE

GOTTEN, AND ONE OF THE

THINGS THAT SEEMS TO GET

LOSS ON THE MEDIA IS THESE

GUYS ARE CRIMINALS AND

THEY WERE RESISTING LAW

ENFORCEMENT.

I WOULD SAY THAT THE

LARGE PERCENTAGE OF LAW

ENFORCEMENT, AS A WHOLE,

ACROSS THE NATION, HAS

THAT VERY FEELING.

I THINK THEY'RE VERY

FRUSTRATED.

I THINK THE TRUST FROM

THEIR GOVERNMENT, THE

TRUST FROM THEIR OWN CHAIN

OF COMMAND -- THEY'VE GOT

TO WONDER IF IT IS THERE.

Reporter: WITH

VIOLENCE RISING, TACK TEXT TACTICS

AND EQUIPMENT USED IN THE

MILITARY ARE NOW BEING

USED BY THE LAW

ENFORCEMENT.

President Obama: WE

HAVE SEEN HOW MILITARIZED

GEAR CAN SOMETIMES GIVE

PEOPLE THE FEELING LIKE

THERE IS AN OCCUPYING

FORCE AS OPPOSED TO A

FORCE THAT IS PART OF THE

COMMUNITY THAT IS

PROTECTING THEM AND

SERVING THEM.

IT CAN ALIENATE AND IM

TIMIINTIMIDATE LOCAL RESIDENTS

AND SEND THE WRONG

MESSAGE.

CRIME HAS GOTTEN WORSE.

LAW ENFORCEMENT NEEDS THE

TOOLS TO BE ABLE TO HANDLE

THOSE SITUATIONS.

Reporter: POLICE

DEATHS IN THE LINE OF DUTY

HAVE DECLINED SINCE THE

1970s, BY ABOUT A THIRD,

BUT THAT DOESN'T

NECESSARILY TELL THE

STORY.

BATTLEFIELD TECHNOLOGIES

DEVELOPED IN AFGHANISTAN,

HAVE TRICKLED DOWN TO

POLICE OFFICERS AROUND THE

COUNTRY.

THAT MEANS AN OFFICER

INVOLVED IN A SHOOTING HAS

A BETTER CHANCE TODAY OF

SURVIVAL, AND A MUCH LOWER

CHANCE OF ENDING UP ON A

MEMORIAL, LIKE THIS ONE.

COPS ARE ALSO BEING ASKED

TO CARRY OUT A WIDER RANGE

OF DUTIES THAN IN THE

PAST.

WE WANT HIM TO BE AN

ENFORCER OF THE LAW, WE

WANT HIM TO BE AN

ATTORNEY, WE WANT HIM TO

BE A MARRIAGE COUNSELLOR,

WE WANT HIM TO BE A FATHER

FIGURE FOR SOMEBODY, AT

THE SAME TIME WE WANT THEM

TO BE ABLE TO SHOOT

SOMEBODY AND HELP KEEP

YOUR FAMILY SAFE.

IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE

LAWS, VOTE IN SOMEBODY

ELSE AND CHANGE THE LAWS.

LET THE OFFICERS START

DOING THEIR JOB, LET THEM

DO THE JOB THAT PROVIDE

YOU WITH SAFETY AND

SECURITY IN YOUR HOME AT

NIGHT.

Efrem: A TOUGH JOB

THAT CONTINUE TO GET

TOUGHER.

STAY WITH US.

WE'RE COMING RIGHT BACK.

Efrem: CHRIS PRATT IS

MAKING HEADLINES FOR THE

NOD HE GAVE TO JESUS

CHRIST ON EASTER SUNDAY.

TAKE A LOOK.

THE ACTOR ERECTED A

MASSIVE CROSS AND

DOCUMENTED THE PROCESS ON

HIS INSTAGRAM FEED.

THE FINAL SHOT SHOWS PRATT

AND HIS TWO HELPERS

STANDING IN FRONT OF THE

MORE THAN 20-FOOT-TALL

CROSS WITH THE MESSAGE

"HAPPY EASTER."

YOU MAY NOT REMEMBER, BUT

BACK IN 2014, PRATT TOLD

ESQUIRE MAGAZINE, I GAVE

MY SOUL TO JESUS AS A

TEENAGER AFTER AN

ENCOUNTER WITH A MAN IN

HAWAII.

THAT MAN TOLD PRATT I

STOPPED BECAUSE JESUS TOLD

ME TO STOP AND TALK TO

YOU.

HE SAID TO TELL YOU YOU'RE

DESTINED FOR GREAT THINGS.

> AND THAT BRINGS US TO

YOUR WEDNESDAY WORD, WHICH

IS GREATNESS.

GOD HAS DESTINED GREAT

THINGS FOR EACH OF US.

BUT SOMETIMES THAT

REQUIRES US TO LET GO OF

WHAT WE THINK IS GOOD FOR

US.

REMEMBER, DON'T STOP AND

SETTLE FOR GOOD WHEN

YOU'RE STILL ON THE PATH

TO GREAT.

WITH THAT WORD, MAKE THIS

A GREAT DAY AND WALK

KNOWING THAT GOD HAS GREAT

THINGS IN STORE FOR YOU.

FOR THIS EDITION OF CBN
