Wendy: TODAY...THE

TAX MAN THAT IS COSTING

YOU YOUR REFUND AND YOUR

IDENTITY.

PLUS...FROM THE WORLD

CHAMPION GOLD STATE

WARRIORS.

IT IS, LIKE, EVERYTHING

I EVER WANTED.

Wendy: JAMES MACADU

DRIVES TO THE HOOP, WITH A

COUPLE OF DETOURS ALONG

THE WAY.

IT IS TOUGH.

IT'S NOT EASY.

Wendy: ON TODAY'S

"700 CLUB."

*

Pat: WELL, WELCOME TO

"THE 700 CLUB."

WHO IS AUTHORIZING THE

EXECUTION OF HOMOSEXUALS

AND NOBODY IS TALKING

ABOUT IT?

WE'RE GOING TO TELL YOU

LATER ON IN THE PROGRAM.

FIRST OF ALL, IF WE

HAVEN'T ALREADY SEEN THE

DARK SIDE OF POLITICS THIS

YEAR, GET READY FOR ONE OF

THE UGLIEST PRESIDENTIAL

COMPAIGNS EVER.

THOSE BIG POLITICAL ACTION

COMMITTEES ARE PREPARING

TO SLING THE MUD AT BOTH

DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS

THIS FALL.

AND THAT'S THE WARNING

FROM A TOP CONSULTANT.

Terry: WELL, THAT

COMES AS DONALD TRUMP GOT

HIMSELF INTO ANOTHER

CONTROVERSY WITH HIS

COMMENTS THAT WOMEN SHOULD

BE PUNISHED IF THEY GET AN

ABORTION.

CAITLIN BURKE HAS THE

STORY.

Caitlin: DONALD TRUMP

IS NOT ONE TO SUGAR COAT

THINGS.

DO YOU BELIEVE IN

PUNISHMENT FOR ABORTION,

YES OR NO, AS A PRINCIPLE.

THE ANSWER IS THERE HAS

TO BE SOME FORM OF

PUNISHMENT.

FOR THE WOMAN?

YES.

10 YEARS?

THAT I DON'T KNOW.

Reporter: THE TRUMP

CAMPAIGN COMPLETELY

REVERSED COURSE HOURS

LATER SAYING THAT THE

REPUBLICAN FRONT-RUNNER

ULTIMATELY BELIEVES THAT

IT IS THE ABORTION

PROVIDERS, NOT THE WOMEN

GETTING THE ABORTION, THAT

SHOULD BE PUNISHED.

TED CRUZ SHOT BACK.

IT IS THE LATEST

DEMONSTRATION HOW LITTLE

HE THINKS ABOUT THE ISSUES

FACING THIS NATION.

Caitlin: HILLARY

CLINTON SAID, "JUST WHEN

YOU THOUGHT IT COULDN'T

GET WORSE, HORRIFIC AND

DISTURBING."

TED CRUZ NO Reporter: WITH THE

CANDIDATES VYING FOR

DELEGATES AHEAD OF THE

CONVENTIONS, IT HAS BEEN

AN UGLY RACE SO FAR,

ATTACKING EACH OTHER'S

WIVES, CHARACTER, AND THE

THE LIST GOES ON.

POLITICAL CONSULTANT KARL

ROVE WRITES IN THE WALL

STREET, THE BIG POLITICAL

ACTION GROUPS ARE

RESEARCHING TRUMP AND

CLINTON FOR THE ELECTION,

GATHERING DIRT FOR FUTURE

ATTACK ADS.

HE SAYS, THEY'LL BE GOING

AFTER TRUMP'S

CONTROVERSIAL COMMENTS,

HIS BUSINESS FAILURES, AND

CHARACTER FLAWS.

AND CLINTON FOR LACK OF

TRUSTWORTHYNESS AND LIES.

ROVE WRITES WE SHOULD ALL

GET READY FOR THE UGLIEST

CAMPAIGN IN MEMORY.

CAITLIN BURKE, CBN NEWS.

Pat: THANKS, CAITLIN.

WHAT TRUMP SAYS, IT SHOCKS

PEOPLE, BUT AT THE SAME

TIME THE OLD ADAGE WAS

THAT ABORTION WAS ILLEGAL,

THAT IT WAS MURDER.

AND CONSEQUENTLY, IF IT IS

ILLEGAL AND IT IS MURDER,

THERE HAD TO BE SOME

PENALTY ATTACHED TO IT.

THAT'S WHY IT WAS SO VERY,

VERY HARD TO GET ANY KIND

OF LEGISLATION AGAINST

THIS SORT OF THING.

AND NOW THEY SAY IT SHOULD

PUNISH THE PROVIDER WHO

DOES THE ABORTION, NOT THE

WOMAN WHO IS HAVING IT,

WHICH SOUNDS MORE

REASONABLE.

IN ANY EVENT, IF SOMEBODY

SAYS ABORTION IS MURDER,

THEN WHAT DO DO YOU DO TO

SOMEBODY WHO COMMITS

MURDER?

SO IT IS A DILEMMA THAT

PEOPLE HAVE BEEN WRESTLING

WITH.

IT DOES SEEM A BIT

DRACONIAN, BUT AT THE SAME

TIME, WE HAVE SLAUGHTERED

CLOSE TO 50 MILLION UNBORN

BABIES IN AMERICA SINCE

ROW WADE WAY.

IT IROE VS. WADE.

IT IS UNPRECEDENTED.

AND WE HAD THE SCANDAL OF

PLANNED PARENTHOOD

AUCTIONS OFF OR SELLING

OFF VARIOUS BODY PARTS OF

UNBORN BABIES.

IT MAKES YOU SICK AT YOUR

STOMACH.

THESE ARE HUMAN BEINGS.

> IN OTHER NEWS,

SPEAKING OF ABORTION, THE

FOOD AND DRUG

ADMINISTRATION SAYS THE

SO-CALLED ABORTION PILL,

WHICH IS VERY QUESTIONABLY

QUESTIONABLY, RU-486,

WHICH HAS BEEN SO CONT

CONTROVERSIAL, THE F.D.A.

WANTS TO MAKE IT EASIER.

Wendy: WOMEN WILL BE

ABLE TO TAKE THE PILL

LATER IN A PREGNANCY UNDER

THE NEW F.D.A. GUIDELINES,

AND THEY WON'T NEED TO GO

TO THE DOCTOR FOR CHECKUPS

AS OFTEN.

THE NEW F.D.A. LABEL

RELAXES THE RESTRICTIONS

ON NITHAPREX, AND THE MOVE

WOULD MAKE THE DRUG MORE

ACCESSIBLE IN STATES WITH

TOUGHER RULES, LIKE TEXAS,

OHIO, AND NORTH DAKOTA.

THE ABORTION DRUG WAS

FORMALLY KNOWN AS RU-486.

> THE GOVERNMENT OF

SAUDI ARABIA REPORTEDLY

WANTS TO IMPOSE STRICTER

SENTENCES, INCLUDING THE

THE DEATH PENALTY ON GAY

PEOPLE WHO DEMONSTRATE

THEIR HOMOSEXUALITY IN

PUBLIC AND ON SOCIAL

MEDIA.

THE NEWSPAPER REPORTS THAT

THE SAUDI JUDICIARY

CONSIDERED 35 CASES OF

HOMOSEXUALITY IN THE LAST

SIX MONTHS, ALONG WITH 50

CASES OF CROSS-DRESSERS.

AND A MAN WAS ARRESTED FOR

MAKING SEXUAL ADVANCES TO

OTHER MEN ONLINE.

PAT?

Pat: AND SOMEBODY

ELSE WAS DISPLAYING THE

RAINBOW FLAG AND HE GOT

ARRESTED.

> HAVE YOU HEARD THE

NFL, THE NBA, THE

DEMOCRATIC PARTY, THE GAY

AND LESBIAN ALLIANCE --

HAVE YOU HEARD ONE OF THEM

SAY ONE THING AGAINST

SAUDI ARABIA?

I HAVEN'T, AND I DON'T

THINK YOU HAVE.

HAS THERE BEEN ANY

CONDEMNATION OF MUSLIMS?

THIS IS A MUSLIM COUNTRY

EXERCISING THE WAHABI

BRAND AGAINST HOMOSEXUALS.

THEY WANT TO EXECUTE

HOMOSEXUALS IN SAUDI

ARABIA AND WHO COMPLAINS?

BUT WE COMPLAIN ABOUT

NORTH CAROLINA, WHO WANTS

TO GIVE CHRISTIANS A

CHANCE TO SPEAK OUT ABOUT

THE WHOLE ISSUE.

THE GEORGIA GOVERNOR

VETOES LEGISLATION THAT

GIVES FREE SPEECH TO

CHRISTIANS.

ISN'T IT AMAZING THAT THE

PEOPLE ARE SO EXERCISED

ABOUT THIS ISSUE, AND

AMERICA DOESN'T SAY ONE

WORD ABOUT A COUNTRY WHO

WANTS TO KILL HOMOSEXUALS.

CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?

WHAT KIND OF A DOUBLE

STANDARD ARE WE DEALING

WITH.

MAYBE SOMEBODY OUGHT TO

SAY TO THE NFL, IF YOU'RE

SO TOUGH, HOW ABOUT GOING

AUST THE SAUDIS?

Wendy: PAT, THE

SUPREME COURT SEEMED

LIKELY TO MAKE IT POSSIBLE

FOR PRIVATE LAND OWNERS TO

CHALLENGE THE GOVERNMENT

IN COURT ON PROTECTED

FEDERAL WETLANDS.

THE COURT SAYS A MINNESOTA

COMPANY IS VIOLATING THE

CLEAN WATER ACT AND

DEMANDING THAT PROPERTY

OWNERS APPLY FOR PERMITS.

BUT THE COMPANY IS

CHALLENGING THE

ADMINISTRATION.

THEY'RE CONCERNED THAT

GOVERNMENT AGENCIES CAN

MAKE PROPERTY OWNERS PAY

THE COSTLY PRICE FOR

PERMITS, WITHOUT A COURT

EVER DECIDING WHETHER THE

AGENCY IS CORRECT.

BOTH CONSERVATIVE AND

LIBERAL JUSTICES WERE

CONCERNED THAT THE

GOVERNMENT WAS PUTTING TOO

HEAVY A BURDEN ON PRIVATE

BUSINESSES.

DO YOU AGREE, PAT?

Pat: DO I EVER AGREE.

THIS IS A SHOCKING THING

THAT IS HAPPENING IN OUR

COUNTRY.

WE ARE BEING RUN BY

AGENCIES, NON-ELECTED

FEDERAL BUREAUCRATS,

LAYING OUT RULES THAT HAVE

NOT BEEN PASSED BY

CONGRESS.

LET ME TELL YOU WHAT I'M

FAMILIAR WITH.

WE BOUGHT HERE, AT CBN, A

TRACT OF LAND, WHICH WAS

HIGH AND DRY AND A NICE

PIECE OF LAND.

AND WE WANTED TO BUILD

SOME THINGS ON IT.

OKAY.

THE CITY HAS A LAKE, A

DRAINAGE EASEMENT, AND

THAT LAKE EMPTIES -- IT

SHOULDN'T, BUT IT WAS

ILLEGAL AND IT RAN ACROSS

OUR LAND.

AND PART OF THE LAND

BECAME WET.

SO WHAT HAPPENS?

THE FEDS WANT TO COME IN

AND SAY, WELL, YOU'RE

DEALING WITH A WETLAND.

AND WE SAY, IT IS NOT WET.

IT'S DRY.

LOOK AT THE PLANS.

IT'S WET.

WE HAD TO GO TO GREAT

EXPENSE TO EXPERTS IN TO

PROVE THAT THE RUNOFF FROM

A TINY DRAINAGE DITCH THAT

WAS ON A DRY PIECE OF LAND

WASN'T A WETLAND.

THAT'S HOW BAD IT HAS

GOTTEN.

AND WE KNOW FIRST HAND.

IT COST YOU MONEY.

WE, OF COURSE, WON THE

THING, BUT, NEVERTHELESS,

IT COST MONEY.

THIS IS WHAT THE

BUREAUCRACY IS DOING TO

AMERICA.

THEY'RE CLOAKIN CHOKING THE FREE

ENTERPRISE OF THIS GREAT

NATION AND IT NEEDS TO BE

STOPPED.

WENDY?

Wendy: THE EASTER

PRAYER BREAKFAST IS A

WHITE HOUSE TRADITION

STARTED BY PRESIDENT OBAMA

SIX YEARS AGO.

THIS YEAR HE USED THE

BREAKFAST TO ENCOURAGED

CHRISTIANS TO SHOW THE

LOVE OF CHRIST TO REFUGEES

AND OTHERS AFFECTED BY

TOMORROW AND WAR.

JENNIFER WISHON BRINGS US

THAT STORY.

Jennifer: AS PART OF

HIS EASTER MESSAGE,

PRESIDENT OBAMA EXPLAINED

HOW HIS CHRISTIAN FAITH

RENEWS HIM WITH THE HOPE

OF REDEMPTION.

President Obama:

BECAUSE OF GOD'S LOVE, WE

CAN PROCLAIM CHRIST HAS

RISEN.

BECAUSE OF GOD'S LOVE, WE

HAVE BEEN GIVEN THIS GIFT

OF SALVATION.

Heather: THE

PRESIDENT ADDRESSED THE

FEAR AND DIVISION OFTEN

BORN OF TERRORISM, BUT

WARNED CHRISTIANS AGAINST

THE TEMPTATION TO TURN

THEIR BACKS ON SYRIAN

REFUGEES IN NEED OF HELP.

President Obama:

THAT'S THE INTENT OF THE

TERRORISTS, IS TO WEAKEN

OUR FAITH.

TO WEAKEN OUR BEST

IMPULSES, OUR BETTER

ANSWERS.

IF EASTER MEANS ANYTHING,

IT IS THAT YOU DON'T HAVE

TO BE AFRAID.

WE DROWN OUT DARKNESS WITH

LIGHT, AND WE HEAL HATRED

WITH LOVE.

WE HOLD ON TO HOPE.

Jennifer: REVEREND

DR. RAFAEL OF A BAPTIST

CHURCH DELIVERED THE

SERMON.

JESUS SAID HE CAME TO

PREACH GOOD NEWS TO THE

POOR, TO OPEN THE EYES OF

THE BLIND AND SET THE

CAPTIVES FREE.

SO BY PRAYING WITH OUR

THIEVES, I MEEB I MEAN IN THE

BEST TRADITION, WE OUGHT

TO BEAR WITNESS TO GOD'S

KINGDOM AND LOVE.

Jennifer: AS HIS

PRESIDENCY WINDS DOWN,

MR. OBAMA OFFERED A LOOK

INTO HIS FUTURE.

President Obama:

AFTER A GOOD CHUNK OF

SLEEP, I'M GOING TO BE

RIGHT OUT THERE WITH YOU

DOING SOME WORK.

SO YOU'RE NOT RID OF ME

YET, EVEN AFTER WE'RE DONE

WITH THE PRESIDENCY, BUT I

AM GOING TO TAKE THREE OR

FOUR MONTHS WHERE I JUST

SIT.

Jennifer: JENNIFER

WISHON, CBN NEWS, THE

WHITE HOUSE.

Wendy: THANKS,

JENNIFER.

> WELL, IF YOU WANT TO

USE WEIGHT, BEANS MIGHT

JUST HELP YOU OUT.

BEANS CAN HELP YOU FEEL

FULL AND GET RID OF THOSE

EXTRA POUNDS.

THAT'S THE FINDING FROM A

STUDY IN CANADA.

ONE EXPERT TOLD HEALTH DAY

NEWS THE STUDY WAS NOT

SURPRISING BECAUSE THESE

FOODS ARE FULL OF FIBER,

PROTEIN, VITAMINS AND

MINERALS.

PAT, I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN A

BIG FAN OF BEANS FOR A

LONG TIME.

Pat: I LOVE BEANS.

THEY ARE GOOD FOR YOU.

BLACK BEANS ARE UP WITH

NUTRIENTS.

THEY'RE SO TREMENDOUS.

THIS IS A LITTLE PACK OF

SOME KIND OF BEANS.

WHAT IS IT?

GABANA BEANS, AND IT'S SO

EASY.

YOU SOAK THEM.

I MAKE LENTIL SOUP, AND

YOU CHOP UP AN UNION OR

TWO, YOU CHOP UP SOME

CELERY, AND PUT A LITTLE

OF THIS, THAT, AND THE

OTHER IN IT, AND PUT IT IN

A POT WITH THE BEANS.

YOU'VE GOT TO SOAK THE

BEANS FOREVER AND THEN

COOK THEM FOR A WHILE.

IT'S DELICIOUS.

Terry: I THINK THAT'S

THE ISSUE WHY PEOPLE DON'T

DO THAT MORE OFTEN, WHICH

IS THE SOAKING PART.

YOU DO HAVE TO SOAK THEM

FOREVER.

Pat: THESE ARE LENTIL

BEANS.

IT IS NO BIG DEAL TO SOAK

THEM.

BUT IF YOU DON'T WANT TO

SOAK THEM, YOU CAN GET A

CAN OF THEM.

WHERE ARE THE BLACK BEANS?

Terry: THERE YOU GO.

Pat: THESE LITTLE

BABIES, THESE ARE THE ONES

THAT REALLY HAVE THE

POWER.

THEY HAVE TREMENDOUS

VITAMINS.

Terry: IT IS AN

INEXPENSIVE WAY TO EAT

SOMETHING THAT IS HEALTHY.

BEANS ARE REALLY

REASONABLE.

Pat: YOU FILL

YOURSELF UP, AND YOU GET

HIGH PROTEIN, BUT YOU

DON'T GET ALL OF THE FAT

THAT GOES ALONG WITH MEAT

THAT MAY CLOG YOUR

ARTERIES.

THESE ARE PERFECT FOODS

THAT GOD HAS GIVEN US, AND

IT'S SO CHEAP.

ALL RIGHT, TERRY?

Terry: COMING UP, YOU

FILED YOUR TAXES, SO WHY

AREN'T YOU GETTING YOUR

REFUND?

WELL, IT COULD BE THAT

YOU'RE A VICTIM OF A TAX

SCAM.

FIND OUT HOW TO KNOW FOR

SURE AND HOW YOU CAN FIGHT

BACK, WHEN WE RETURN.

Pat: THERE IS A

COMPANY CALLED "LIFE LOCK"

THAT IS PUTTING

ADVERTISING OUT BECAUSE OF

IDENTITY THEFT.

APPARENTLY IT IS A BIG

PROBLEM.

ALL THEY NEED IS YOUR NAME

AND A SOCIAL SECURITY

NUMBER, AND AWAY THEY GO.

BUT THE BIGGEST ISSUE

FACING THE AMERICAN

TAXPAYER THIS YEAR MIGHT

BE SOMETHING EXACTLY WHAT

IT IS WHEN IT COMES TO

YOUR TAX RETURN.

IT IS IDENTITY THEFT.

AND HERE IS HOW IT

HAPPENS.

Reporter: YOU FILL

OUT YOUR 2015 FEDERAL TAX

RETURN, FILE IT BY THE

APRIL 15th DEADLINE AND

BREATHE A SIGH OF RELIEF.

A FEW WEEKS LATER, THOUGH,

YOU GET A LETTER FROM THE

I.R.S. SAYING YOU HAVE

ALREADY FILED YOUR TAX

RETURN, THAT IS A REFUND

WAS ISSUED WEEKS AGO, AND

YOUR I.R.S. ACCOUNT HAS

BEEN FROZEN.

YOU'VE BEEN THE VICTIM AND

TAX RETURN IDENTITY THEFT.

A SCAM THAT HAS INCREASED

BY 650%.

WHAT DO YOU DO IF THIS

HAPPENS TO YOU?

THIS TAX EXPERT SAYS THERE

ARE STEPS YOU CAN TAKE TO

FIGHT BACK, BUT YOU HAVE

TO ACT FAST.

Pat: WELL, TAX EXPERT

DAN PILLA IS WITH US RIGHT

NOW.

DAN, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT

THIS IDENTITY THEFT THING,

HOW BAD IS IT?

HOW MANY TAX RETURNS ARE

STOLEN, THE IDENTITY?

IN TERMS OF THE NUMBER,

PAT, IT IS HARD TO SAY.

BUT THE TREASURY INSPECTOR

GENERAL HAS CALLED THIS

THE CRIME OF THE CENTURY.

THERE ARE SO MANY FALSE

RETURNS BEING FILED WITH

THE I.R.S., AND THE I.R.S.

IS ISSUING LITERALLY TENS

OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS

WORTH OF BOGUS REFUNDS

THAT ARE GOING TO THESE

THIEVES.

THEY DON'T KNOW HOW MANY.

IT IS SO BROAD, THEY DON'T

KNOW EXACTLY THE NUMBER OF

RETURNS THAT ARE BEING

STOLEN.

Pat: A PHONY RETURN

COMES IN, SHOWING ALL OF

THE RIGHT NUMBERS.

AND IT SAYS YOU OWE ME

$10,000 REFUND, AND THEY

CUT A CHECK AND SEND IT TO

THEM?

THEY CUT A CHECK AND

SEND IT TO THEM.

A LOT IS GOING TO THEIR

ELECTRONIC REFUNDS THAT

ARE GOING INTO THE SAME

BANK ACCOUNT.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THE

INSPECTOR GENERAL REPORTED

WAS THAT THERE WAS A

COUPLE HUNDRED THOUSAND

DOLLARS WORTH OF

REFUNDS -- A COUPLE

HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS

AT A TIME, AND SO WE'RE

TALKING ABOUT NUMEROUS

REFUNDS ALL GOING TO ONE

BANK ACCOUNT.

THIS IS A SOPHISTICATED

SCAM THESE PEOPLE ARE

RUNNING, FOR SURE.

Pat: CAN'T THE

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DO

ANYTHING RIGHT?

WELL, YOU'RE ASKING THE

WRONG GUY BECAUSE I DON'T

THINK THEY CAN DO ANYTHING

RIGHT, PARTICULARLY WHEN

IT COMES TO PROTECTING

THEMSELVES.

BECAUSE NOT ONLY IS A

PROBLEM, PAT, WITH

IDENTITY THIEVES, YOU

KNOW, STEALING IDENTITIES

AND SOCIAL SECURITY

NUMBERS IN THE GENERAL

MARKETPLACE, BUT THEY HAVE

EVEN MANAGED TO HACK THE

I.R.S.' COMPUTERS.

WE'VE ONLY RECENTLY

LEARNED THE SCOPE OF THAT

PROBLEM.

AND NOW THE TREASURY

INSPECTOR GENERAL HAS TOLD

US THAT ALMOST A MILLION

TAXPAYERS' IDENTITIES HAVE

BEEN STOLEN FROM THE

I.R.S.' COMPUTERS.

Pat: YOU DON'T MEAN

IT.

YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT

BILLIONS OF DOLLARS?

NO QUESTION ABOUT IT.

AND IF YOUR IDENTITY IS

STOLEN, THESE THIEVES CAN

GET ACCESS TO YOUR BANK

ACCOUNT, YOUR DEBIT CARDS

AND CREDIT CARDS.

Pat: YOU PUT SOME

PRETTY INTIMATE FINANCIAL

DETAILS ABOUT YOURSELF ON

YOUR TAX RETURNS, AND IT

IS SUPPOSED TO BE STRICTLY

CONFIDENTIAL.

YOU'RE SAYING THEY HACKED

IN AND THEY HAVE THE FULL

STORY OF EACH TAXPAYER?

NO QUESTION ABOUT IT.

THERE ARE HAVE BEEN,

ACCORDING TO THE INSPECTOR

GENERAL, ABOUT

THREE-QUARTERS OF A

MILLION TAXPAYERS WHO'S

INFORMATION WAS HEISTED

FROM THE I.R.S.'

COMPUTERS, AND ANOTHER

COUPLE HUNDRED THOUSAND

WHO'S INFORMATION WAS

ACCESSED.

IT IS HARD TO WRAP YOUR

HEAD AROUND THIS THING

BECAUSE ONCE THEY GET THE

INFORMATION FROM THE

I.R.S., NOW THEY CAN GO

JUST ABOUT ANYWHERE WITH

IT TO STEAL, AS I SAID,

BANK ACCOUNTS, CREDIT

CARDS, DEBIT CARDS.

IF YOU'RE DEALING WITH A

DEBIT CARD, FOR EXAMPLE,

THEY CAN CLEAN OUT YOUR

BANK ACCOUNT.

THEY CAN JUST CLEAN IT

RIGHT OUT.

THEY CAN RUN UP A CREDIT

CARD BILL, BUT AT LEAST IN

THAT SITUATION, YOU'VE GOT

THE RIGHT TO FIGHT BACK

AND YOU STILL HAVE YOUR

MONEY.

Pat: HOW CAN SOMEBODY

DEFEND YOURSELF.

HOW CAN YOU GO OUT AND

CLARIFY THESE MATTERS.

IT COULD TAKE YEARS.

IT COULD TAKE YEARS.

BUT, FIRST OF ALL, IF YOU

BELIEVE YOU'RE A VICTIM OF

IDENTITY THEFT, WHETHER IT

IS GENERAL MARKET THEFT OR

YOUR INFORMATION WAS

STOLEN FROM THE I.R.S.

YOU HAVE TO FILE

IMMEDIATELY WITH THE

I.R.S. WHAT THEY CALL FORM

14039.

I TALK ABOUT IT IN MY

BOOK, HOW TO WIN YOUR

BOOK.

YOU FILE THAT FORM, AND

WHEN YOU FILE THAT FORM,

THE I.R.S. IS GOING TO

GIVE YOU A NEW TAXPAYER

IDENTIFICATION NUMBER.

IT IS A NEW ONE.

SO YOU WON'T USE YOUR

SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER

WITH THE I.R.S.

YOU'LL FILE WITH A NEW

NUMBER.

THAT'S THE FIRST THING TO

DO, PUT THE I.R.S. ON

NOTICE THERE IS A PROBLEM

OUT THERE AND NOW YOU HAVE

A NEW I.D. NUMBER.

AT LEAST THAT PUTS UP A

WALL OF SECURITY THERE.

THE NEXT THING YOU HAVE TO

DO IS CHANGE YOUR BANK

ACCOUNTS.

NOT NECESSARILY YOUR BANK,

BUT OPEN NEW ACCOUNTS SO

YOU'RE DEALING WITH NEW

BANK NUMBERS.

IT IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT

IF YOU HAVE A DEBIT CARD

ATTACHED TO THAT ACCOUNT.

AND I WOULD CHANGE YOUR

CREDIT CARD NUMBERS AS

WELL.

THOSE THREE THINGS DO

IMMEDIATELY, AND THAT IS

GOING TO MINIMIZE THE

EXPOSURE TO THE THIEVES.

Pat: DAN'S BOOK IS

ONE OF THE BEST KNOWN

ABOUT HOW TO WIN YOUR TAX

AUDIT.

THAT'S ONLY ONE OF THE

MANY THINGS YOU TALK ABOUT

HERE.

I TAKE YOU STE STEP BY

STEP -- PUT IT THIS WAY,

PAT: THIS IS THE MOST

THOROUGH DISCUSSION ON THE

TAX AUDIT PROCEDURE THAT

HAS EVERY BEEN WRITTEN FOR

THE PUBLIC.

SO YOU COME OUT OF IT WITH

YOUR MONEY IN YOUR POCKET.

Pat: DOES THE I.R.S.

LOVE YOU OR HATE YOU?

I DON'T GET CHRISTMAS

CARDS FROM THE I.R.S.

[LAUGHTER]

Pat: I MEAN, YOU'RE

SHOWING THEIR DIRTY

SECRETS TO THE WHOLE

PUBLIC.

IN FACT, ONE OF THE

CHAPTERS IN THE BOOK IS

13, I.R.S. BLUFFS AND

INTIMIDATIONS AND HOW TO

COUNTER THEM.

I DO TEAR DOWN THE SYSTEM

FOR YOU TO SHOW YOU

EXACTLY WHAT THE I.R.S.'

WEAKNESSES ARE IN THE

AUDIT PROCESS.

FOR EXAMPLE, THE I.R.S.

USES TACTICS OF BLUFF AND

INTIMIDATION, AND IN MANY

CASES THEY OUT RIGHT LIE

TO PEOPLE CONCERNING WHAT

THEIR RIGHTS ARE AND WHAT

THE AGENCY'S LIMITATIONS

ARE.

I EXPOSE ALL OF THAT IN

THE BOOK.

Pat: SHOULD SOMEBODY

HAVE A LAWYER WHEN THEY GO

TO TALK TO THESE PEOPLE?

WELL, IF THE I.R.S.

STARTS USING THE "F" WORD,

AND BY THAT, I MEAN FRAUD,

THEN YOU SHOULD GET

YOURSELF COUNSEL RIGHT

AWAY BECAUSE FRAUD

ACCUSATIONS ARE VERY

SERIOUS.

IF IT IS A ROUTINE GARDEN

VARIETY AUDIT, WHICH MOST

OF THE OUGHT DIT AUDITS ARE, THAT'S

A SIMPLE PROCESS IF YOU

UNDERSTAND WHAT THE

PROCEDURE IS.

WHAT I TEACH YOU IN THE

BOOK IS EXACTLY WHAT YOUR

RESPONSIBILITY IS AS A

TAXPAYER.

AND THIS IS IMPORTANT

BECAUSE PEOPLE DON'T KNOW

WHAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO

DO IN THE AUDIT.

THE KEY THING WITH RESPECT

TO THAT IS THE BURDEN OF

PROOF.

THIS IS DIFFERENT FROM

EVERY OTHER AREA IN THE

UNITED STATES, WHICH THE

BURDEN OF PROOF IS ON THE

GOVERNMENT.

THE I.R.S. RARELY HAS TO

PROVE YOU DID IT WRONG.

YOU HAVE TO PROVE YOU DID

IT RIGHT.

THE BOOK TAKES YOU STEP BY

STEP ON HOW TO DO EXACTLY

THAT WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR

INCOME AND YOUR

DEDUCTIONS.

Pat: WE'VE SEEN THE

SCANDAL OF LOIS LERNER,

WHO TOOK THE FIFTH, AND

HAS GOTTEN AWAY SCOT-FREE.

IT LOOKS LIKE THE AHEAD OF

THE I.R.S. IS KIND OF OUT

TO LUNCH.

WHAT DO WE DO?

IT IS INTERESTING THAT

YOU TALK ABOUT LOIS LERNER

TAKING THE FIFTH AMENDMENT

ON THE TAX RETURN.

FOR YEARS TAX PROTESTORS

WERE FILING RETURNS AND

CLAIMED THE FIFTH

AMENDMENT.

AND THEY WOULD ARGUE THAT

THE FIFTH AMENDMENT

PREVENTED THEM FROM HAVING

TO GIVE ANY INFORMATION TO

THE GOVERNMENT.

GUESS WHAT?

THOSE PEOPLE WERE

PROSECUTED FOR FAILURE TO

FILE TAX RETURNS.

THEY WERE PROSECUTED, AND

YET LOIS LERNER WALKS

AWAY.

Pat: IT IS A DOUBLE

STANDARD.

DAN HAS WRITTEN A BOOK AND

IT IS AS GOOD AS IT IS IN

THE WHOLE NATION.

IF YOU'RE GETTING READY TO

FILE YOUR TAXES, IT

WOULDN'T HURT TO GET THIS

BOOK.

HOW DO YOU GET IT?

RIGHT FROM

cbnnews.com, YOUR

WEBSITE, AND THERE ARE

LINKS ON YOUR WEBSITE TO

GET THE BOOK.

I THINK YOUR

ORGANIZATION -- WEM WELL, I

KNOW YOUR ORGANIZATION HAS

GOT A PACKAGE AVAILABLE

FOR FOLKS.

Pat: HOW TO WIN YOUR

TAX AUDIT, DAN PILLA.

DAN, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR

BEING HERE.

THANK YOU FOR HAVING

ME.

Terry: COMING UP, THE

NBA ROOKIE WHO WENT FROM

BEING CUT BY HIS TEAM TO

HELPING THEM CUT DOWN THE

NETS.

JAMES McADOO TALKS ABOUT

HIS UNLIKELY JOURNEY

THROUGH THE NBA WHEN WE

COME BACK.

Pat: YOU'RE WATCHING

"THE 700 CLUB."

SPORTS, AFTER LAST NIGHT'S

WIN AGAINST THE JAZZ, THE

GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS ARE

ON THE CUSP OF FINISHING

THE SEASON WITH THE BEST

RECORD IN NBA HISTORY.

AND WHILE THE ATTENTION IS

ON THE STARS, SUCH AS STEF

CURRIE, GOLDEN STATES'

PLAYERS HAVE SHINED AS

WELL.

SEAN BROWN SAT DOWN WITH

JAMES McADOO.

Reporter: FOR THE

SECOND CONSECUTIVE YEAR,

THE GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS

HAVE BECOME THE TEAM TO

BEEBEAT IN THE NBA, AND JAMES

McADOO SAYS A BIG REASON

IS BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE

TEAM GELS OUTSIDE OF THE

ARENA.

THE SUCCESS WE'VE HAD

THIS YEAR, I HAVE TO SAY

BECAUSE OFF THE COURT

WE'RE LIKE BROTHERS.

IT TRANSLATES ON THE

COURT.

WE HAVE SUCH A CLOSE-KNIT

OF BELIEVERS ON THIS TEAM.

I'VE BEEN ABLE TO START A

BIBLE STUDY WITH THIS TEAM

ON THE ROAD.

WE STAY TOGETHER.

WE KNOW THAT THIS

OPPORTUNITY THAT WE HAVE,

IT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT

COMES ALONG EVERY DAY.

Reporter: JAMES

BECAME A CHRISTIAN AT AN

EARLY AGE.

HE CAME FROM A LONG LINE

OF GREAT BASKETBALL

PLAYERS, HE SAID HE DIDN'T

WANT HIS IDENTITY TO COME

SOLELY FROM BASKETBALL.

THE BIGGEST THING FOR

ME IS ALWAYS REAL LIEFERG REALIZING

THAT NO MATTER WHAT, MY

FAITH IN GOD IS THE WAY I

WANT TO BE IDENTIFIED.

Reporter: AFTER HE

GRADUATED FROM HIGH SCHOOL

IN VIRGINIA, HE WENT ON TO

PLAY FOR NORTH CAROLINA,

WITH DREAMS OF LEADING HIS

TEAM TO THE FINAL FOUR, A

NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP, AND

GOING INTO THE NBA.

BUT HE DECIDED TO CUT HIS

COLLEGE CAREER SHORT AFTER

HIS JUNIOR YEAR.

YOU PLAYED THREE SEASONS,

AND YOU OPT OUT OF YOUR

SENIOR YEAR, AND ENTERED

THE NBA DRAFT, BUT THEN

YOU'RE NOT DRAFTED.

YEAH.

Reporter: HOW DID

THAT AFFECT YOU?

IT WAS TOUGH.

HONESTLY, I CAN TELL YOU,

WHEN I LOOK BACK, LEAVING

THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH

CAROLINA AFTER N MY JUNIOR

YEAR I WAS A TOUGH

DECISION.

AND I DIDN'T GET DRAFTED.

HONESTLY, I CAN TELL YOU I

WASN'T SURPRISED.

Reporter: MAYBE NOT

SURPRISED, BUT HE WAS

DISAPPOINTED AND

EMBARRASSED.

IT ALL CAME OUT ON

ESPN, ON LIVE TELEVISION.

THIS TOUGH RECRUIT WAS

COMING OUT.

AND IT WAS A TOUGH PILL TO

SWALLOW.

Reporter: JUST AFTER

THE DRAFT, WHILE AT HOME

IN NORFOLK, JAMES RECEIVED

A CALL FROM HIS AGENT.

I GET A PHONE CALL FROM

MY AGENT, AND I THOUGHT,

IT'S NOT GOING.

BUT WE HAVE OPPORTUNITIES

ON THE TABLE.

AND SO I'M, LIKE, OKAY,

THIS IS WHAT IT IS GOING

TO LOOK LIKE.

OBVIOUSLY, I'LL HAVE TO GO

TO SUMMER LEAGUE, AND

PERFORM WELL ENOUGH THERE

TO EARN AN INVITE.

Reporter: AFTER

SHOWING OFF HIS SKILL IN

THE SUMMER LEAGUE, HE GOT

A CHANCE.

BUT THERE WAS ONE CAVEAT,

IF HE DIDN'T MAKE THE

TEAM, HE WOULD BE SENT

DOWN TO THE MINORS IN THE

NBA.

AND FOR A LOT OF

PROSPECTS, THAT'S THE END

OF THE ROAD.

IT'S A TOUGH LIFESTYLE.

Reporter: WHILE IN

TRAINING CAMP, JAMES BEGAN

TO SEE GOD IN PRAYER.

I'M GOING THROUGH

TRAINING CAMP, AND

HONESTLY, I'M PRAYING THE

HARDEST I THINK I'VE EVER

PRAYED IN MY LIFE.

I'M ASKING GOD, PLEASE LET

ME MAKE THIS TEAM.

I'VE ALREADY EXPERIENCED

FAILURE ONCE, WITH THE

DRAFT.

IT COMES DOWN TO THE FINAL

DAY OF CUT, AND I GET THAT

CALL, AND MY AGENT IS,

LIKE, YOU KNOW WHAT,

THEY'RE GOING TO RELEASE

YOU.

TALK ABOUT HEARTBREAK

AGAIN.

Reporter: BUT HE

WASN'T THERE FOR LONG WHEN

HE GOT A CALL FROM HIS

AGENT, THE WARRIORS WERE

GIVING HIM ANOTHER SHOT.

MY AGENT WAS, LIKE,

THEY'RE GOING TO CALL YOU

UP.

Reporter: JAMES

COMPLETED BOTH CONTRACTS

AND WAS CALLED UP TO THE

WARRIORS JUST IN TIME TO

JOIN THEIR PLAYOFF RUN

TOWARDS WINNING THE 2015

NBA CHAMPION.

WHAT WAS GOD SAYING TO

YOU?

WAS IT, LIKE, I TOLD YOU?

YES.

IT WAS ONE OF THOSE THINGS

WHERE GOD JUST TELLS ME,

LIKE, YOU KNOW, I GOT YOU.

DON'T WORRY.

Reporter: TODAY, AS

THE WARRIORS FIGHT TOWARDS

THEIR SECOND CONSECUTIVE

NBA TITLE, JAMES SAYS HE

IS PLAYING FOR THE LORD.

IT IS EASY FOR ME TO

SAY BEING AN NBA

BASKETBALL PLAYER, I CAN

TELL YOU MONEY DOESN'T

MAKE YOU HAPPY, FAME

DOESN'T MAKE YOU HAPPY.

NOTHING IN THIS WORLD CAN

MAKE YOU HAPPY.

I COULD LOSE EVERYTHING

TODAY, AND I WOULD STILL

PRAISE MY LORD, JESUS

CHRIST.

EVERY DAY IT IS A TOUGH

THING TO DO, TO BE SOLD

OUT FOR THE LORD, BUT IT

IS WORTH IT.

I PROMISE YOU, IT'S WORTH

IT.

Pat: WHAT A

TESTIMONY.

GOD BLESS HIM.

AND THEY ARE JUST RIDING

HIGH.

THEY MAY HAVE THE MOST

STERLING RECORD IN NBA

HISTORY, AND IT IS

FABULOUS.

THE GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS.

Terry: IT MAKES ME

THINK OF THAT PHRASE,

"REMEMBER WHO'S YOU ARE."

YOU HAVE A FATHER WHO IS

MORE INTERESTED IN HANGING

ON TO YOU THAN YOUR FAME.

GREAT STORY.

> STILL AHEAD, HE MAY

NOT HAVE REMEMBERED WHAT

HAPPENED AFTER HE WENT TO

A CONCERT, BUT THE POLICE

SURE DID.

THE NEXT THING I

REMEMBER, I'M BEING CUFFED

TO A GURNEY.

IT TURNS OUT I TRIED TO

STEAL A CAB.

Terry: SEE WHY WHAT

HAPPENS NEXT IS SEARED

INTO HIS MEMORY, NEXT,

WHEN WE RETURN.

Wendy: AND WELCOME

BACK TO "THE 700 CLUB."

VIRGINIA GOVERNOR HAS

VETOED A RELIGIOUS

EXEMPTION BILL.

THAT MEASURE WOULD HAVE

PROTECTED THE RIGHTS OF

PEOPLE WHO HAVE A

RELIGIOUS OBJECTION TO

BEING INVOLVED IN SAME-SEX

WEDDINGS.

HE CLAIMS THE MEASURE

WOULD LEGALIZE

DISCRIMINATION AGAINST THE

LGBT COMMUNITY AND HURT

THE STATE'S ECONOMY.

REPUBLICAN SUPPORTERS SAY

IT WOULD HAVE PROTECTED

PEOPLE EXPRESSING THEIR

SINCERELY-HELD RELIGIOUS

BELIEFS.

A TORNADO STRUCK

OKLAHOMA LAST NIGHT,

LEAVING MANY HOMES DAMAGED

AND SEVEN PEOPLE SEVERELY

INJURED.

ONE TORNADO TOUCHED DOWN

MULTIPLE TIMES, AS IT

RIPPED THROUGH TULSA AND

WASCASA.

ARKANSAS WAS ONE OF THE

WORST HIT STATES, WITH A

GROUP OF PEOPLE NEEDING TO

BE RESCUED FROM RAGING

FLOODWATERS.

LOOK AT THAT.

THE STATE WAS RACKED BY

FLASH-FLOODING AND POWER

OUTAGES.

AND YOU CAN ALWAYS GET THE

LATEST FROM CBN NEWS BY

GOING TO OUR WEBSITE AT

cbnnews.com.

PAT AND TERRY WILL BE BACK

WITH MORE OF "THE 700

CLUB" RIGHT AFTER THIS.

Terry: JOE DOWNS HAD

QUITE THE RAP SHEET,

DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY,

POSSESSION OF DRUGS,

CRIMINAL TRESPASS.

THE COURTS HAD ENOUGH ON

HIM TO LOCK HIM AWAY FOR

20 YEARS.

BUT HERE IS THE KICKER:

JOE HAD NO IDEA HE

COMMITTED THOSE CRIMES.

THE ONLY THING HE KNEW WAS

THAT HE WAS GUILTY.

I WAS AT A WIDESPREAD

PANIC CONCERT, AND

CONSUMED A LARGE AMOUNT OF

L.S.D.

THE COPS CAME, ARRESTED

ME.

AND I GET PUT ON A CELL

BLOCK AS A 22-YEAR-OLD

KID.

AND DURING THIS PERIOD OF

TIME, I START GOING INTO

WITHDRAWALS.

Reporter: GROWING UP,

NO ONE WOULD HAVE GUESSED

THAT JOE DOWNS WOULD HAVE

EVER ENDED UP IN JAIL.

I WAS RAISED BY A VERY

CHRISTIAN MOTHER.

WE WENT TO A BAPTIST

CHURCH PRETTY MUCH ANY

TIME THE DOORS WERE OPEN.

MY FATHER WAS NOT A

CHRISTIAN.

HE WASN'T ADVERSARIAL.

HE MIGHT GO ON EASTER AND

CHRISTMAS.

Reporter: ALTHOUGH HE

WAS SAVED AT A YOUNG AGE,

JOE STARTED WALKING AWAY

FROM GOD IN JUNIOR HIGH.

I STARTED DRINKING AND

I STARTED SMOKING AND

EXPERIMENTING WITH DRUGS.

I GOT INTO THE BAD AREAS

OF MY LIFE MOSTLY BECAUSE

OF THE CROWD I WAS RUNNING

WITH.

ALL OF THE OTHER GUYS

AROUND WERE DOING IT, SO I

DID IT.

THROUGHOUT HIGH SCHOOL

EVERYTHING INTENSIFIED.

ALL THE DRINKING, ALL OF

THE SMOKING, ALL OF THE

DRUG USE, ALL OF THE

EXPERIMENTATION JUST GOT

WORSE.

Reporter: HE WAS GOOD

AT HIDING HIS DRUG USE AND

STILL GRADUATED WITH

HONORS.

IN THE FALL, DRUG LEFT FOR

COLLEGE.

THAT'S WHERE MY DRUG

USE REALLY TOOK OFF.

MY FRESHMAN YEAR IN

COLLEGE, THE CAMPUS

SEARCHED MY ROOM AND FOUND

ALL KINDS OF MARIJUANA AND

SCALES AND PIPES INVOLVED.

I WAS GIVEN A SLAP ON THE

WRIST AND PUT ON SOCIAL

PROBATION AND THAT WAS IT.

THAT FOLLOWING SUMMER, I

GOT CAUGHT LIVING IN THE

GIRLS' DORM.

THEY DIDN'T WANT TO KICK

ME OUT, BUT THEY KICKED ME

OFF CAMPUS.

WHICH ALLOWED ME TO GET AN

APARTMENT.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I

WANTED.

BECAUSE THEN I COULD

OPERATE WITH IMPUNITY.

Reporter: FROM

MARIJUANA TO ACID TO

PRESCRIPTION PILLS, JOE

USED AND SOLD IT ALL.

AND THEN HIS LIFESTYLE

CAUGHT UP TO HIM.

IT WAS DECEMBER 29th

61998, AND I WAS AT A

WIDESPREAD PANIC CONCERT.

I SPENT THE AFTERNOON IN

THE PARKING LOT SELLING

ECSTASY.

I HAD A LOT OF DRUGS ON ME

AND I HAD CONSUMED A LARGE

AMOUNT OF L.S.D.

I REMEMBER WALKING INTO

THE SHOW; I DON'T REMEMBER

LEAVING THE SHOW.

THE NEXT THING I REMEMBER

IS I'M HANDCUFFED TO A

GURNEY WITH E.K.G. LEADS

ALL OVER MY CHEST.

THE COPS CAME AND ARRESTED

ME.

I HAD A KNIFE ON ME THAT I

WAS WIELDING AT THE TIME.

ACCORDING TO THE COPS,

THEY COULD HAVE SHOT ME

AND KILLED ME WITH JUST

CALLS.

AFTER GETTING RELEASED

FROM THE HOSPITAL, THEY

SENT ME TO THE FUL FULTON

COUNTY JAIL.

I GET PUT IN A CELL BLOCK

AT A 22-YEAR-OLD KID.

I START GOING INTO

WITHDRAWALS.

I WAS CHARGED WITH

POSSESSION OF A CONTROLLED

SUBSTANCE WITH THE INTENT

TO DISTRIBUTE, POSSESSION

OF MARIJUANA, POSSESSION

OF PARAPHERNALIA, TRESPASS

AND DESTRUCTION OF

PROPERTY.

I CALLED MY DAD AND HE

PROCEEDED TO GET A BUNCH

OF MONEY TOGETHER AND COME

OVER TO BAIL ME OUT.

HE LOOKS AT ME AND SAYS,

THIS IS YOUR ONE AND ONLY

SHOT.

IF I WERE TO GET ARRESTED

AGAIN, I WOULD BE ON MY

OWN.

Reporter: JOE ENTERED

A REHAB PROGRAM, AND

ALTHOUGH IT WASN'T

BIBLICALLY BASED,

SOMETHING CLICKED FROM HIS

CHILDHOOD.

I THOUGHT, THESE 12

STEPS AREN'T REALLY

FOREIGN PRINCIPLES TO ME.

WHAT ACCELERATED THAT WAS

WHEN A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE

CONSISTENTLY INVITED ME

BACK TO HIS CHURCH.

Reporter: IT WAS

THERE THAT JOE WAS

CHALLENGED TO READ THE

WHOLE BIBLE.

I DID IT OVER THE

COURSE OF A YEAR.

AND I DID IT OVER THE NEXT

YEAR AND THE NEXT YEAR.

IT LED TO ONE THING AFTER

ANOTHER AFTER ANOTHER.

AND ONCE I STARTED PUTTING

IIN THE WORK, I REALIZED IT

WASN'T GOD WHO MOVED AWAY.

IT WAS ME WHO MOVED AWAY

FROM GOD.

MY CASE FINALLY CAME UP IN

MAY OF 2000, 17 MONTHS

AFTER I WAS ARRESTED.

THE REASON WHY IT TOOK SO

LONG FOR IT TO GET CALLED

IS BECAUSE ALL OF THE DRUG

EVIDENCE THEY HAD ON ME

DISAPPEARED.

THEY HAD THE EVIDENCE,

WHERE IT WAS CHECKED INTO

THE EVIDENCE LOCKER, BUT

ALL OF THE DRUGS, ALL OF

THE PARAPHERNALIA AND ALL

OF THE CASH WALKED OUT OF

THE EVIDENCE LOCKER AND

THEY COULD NOT INDICT ME

BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT

PRODUCE THE EVIDENCE.

I'LL SIT HERE AND TELL YOU

I WAS GUILTY OF SIN, BUT

GOD HAD ME NOT PAY THE

PUNISHMENT.

I WAS ABLE TO PLEAD TO AN

ASSAULT CHARGE AND MAKE

RESTITUTION TO THE CAB

COMPANY.

AND AS SOON AS I MADE

RESTITUTION, MY SENTENCE

WAS SUSPENDED.

AND SINCE I PLED GUILTY AS

A FIRST-TIME OFFENDER IN

GEORGIA, MY RECORD WAS

EXPUNGED.

YOU CAN NEVER DO SOMETHING

SO BAD THAT GOD WON'T TAKE

YOU BACK.

IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW LOW

YOU'VE SUNK.

IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU

CONSIDER THE DEPTHS OF

YOAYOUR DEPRAVETY, YOUR

FATHER IS LOOKING OUT FOR

YOU.

THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS

THAT I DID OR WAS PART OF

THAT SHOULD HAVE

INCARCERATED ME FOR A GOOD

PART OF MY LIFE, OR SHOULD

HAVE KILLED ME, AND I'M

STILL SITTING HERE IS ALL

OF THE PROOF THAT I NEED

TO KNOW THAT GOD WAS

THERE.

I FEEL LIKE I WAS WELCOMED

BACK IN BY THE LOVING

FATHER GOD.

HE WAS THERE AND WRAPPED

HIS ARMS AROUND ME.

Terry: YOU KNOW, IT

ALL STARTS SO INNOCENTLY,

DOESN'T IT?

THE OTHER KIDS IN SCHOOL

THAT YOU'RE HANGING AROUND

WITH START TAKING THIS

DRUG OR DOING THAT DRUG,

AND SO YOU START, TOO.

NOBODY EVER GOES INTO THAT

SAYING, GEE, I THINK I'M

GOING TO BECOME AN ADDICT.

EVERYBODY ALWAYS FEELS

LIKE THEY CAN CONTROL IT.

I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS

THAT IS HARDEST TO GRAB

HOLD OF WHEN YOU'RE YOUNG

IS EVERY CHOICE -- EVERY

CHOICE YOU MAKE HAS A

CONSEQUENCE, GOOD OR BAD.

BUT AS I LISTEN TO JOE'S

STORY, I THOUGHT OF THAT

SAYING -- YOU'VE HEARD IT

ON THIS PROGRAM BEFORE --

SIN WILL TAKE YOU FURTHER

THAN YOU EVER THOUGHT YOU

WOULD GO, IT WILL COST YOU

MORE THAN YOU EVER THOUGHT

YOU WOULD PAY, AND IT WILL

KEEP YOU LONGER THAN YOU

EVER THOUGHT YOU WOULD

STAY.

HE COULD HAVE LOST THIS

LIFE.

HE COULD HAVE LOST EVERY

OPPORTUNITY.

IT COULD NOT BE HERE TODAY

IF THINGS TURNED OUT

DIFFERENTLY.

HE WAS WATCHED OVER BY A

HEAVENLY FATHER.

ANHERE IS THE THING: WHEN

WE'RE LOOKING FOR WHO WE

ARE, WHEN WE'RE TRYING TO

FIGURE OUT WHAT LIFE IS

ABOUT AND WHY DO WE

MATTER, WHY DOESN'T IT

SEEM LIKE THE MOST LOGICAL

PLACE TO GO WOULD BE THE

PERSON WHO CREATED YOU,

THE ONE, THE BEING WHO

SAID, YOU ARE MINE.

GOD WAITS FOR US TO DO

THAT.

HE WANTS TO BE KNOWN BY

US.

YOU KNOW, ALL O OF ALL OF THE

FAITHS IN THE WORLD, WE

ARE THE ONLY FAITH WHERE

GOD COMES AFTER US.

HE COMES LOOKING FOR US.

THE BIBLE SAYS HE LEAVES

99 -- HE'S THE GOOD

SHEPHERD, AND HE LEAVES 99

SHEEP WHO ARE WITH HIM AND

IN THE SAFE CORRAL TO GO

AFTER THE ONE WHO IS LOST.

THAT WAS CERTAINLY TRUE OF

JOE.

I ASK YOU TODAY, ARE YOU

LOST?

ARE YOU WONDERING, WHY AM

I HERE?

WHO AM I?

WHY DOES IT ALL MATTER?

I ENCOURAGE YOU TO COME TO

JESUS AND SAY, I WANT TO

KNOW YOU.

I WANT TO KNOW YOU.

HE IS THE CREATOR.

HE IS THE ONE WHO PUT THE

STARS IN THE SKY, AND

KNOWS THEM BY NAME.

NOT ONLY GAVE US THE

BEAUTY AROUND US, BUT GAVE

US SENSES TO ENJOY

EVERYTHING HE HAS CREATED.

HE LOVES YOU WITH AN

EVERLASTING LOVE, THE

BIBLE SAYS.

HE KNOWS EVERYTHING ABOUT

YOU AND ME AND HE LOVES US

ANYWAY.

HE KNOWS THE NUMBER OF

HAIRS ON YOUR HEAD.

HE KNOWS WHAT YOU'RE

THINKING NOW, WHAT YOU'RE

GOING TO DO TOMORROW.

HE IS IN YOUR TOMORROW

ALREADY.

HE IS NOT BOUND BY TIME,

LIKE WE ARE.

BUT HERE IS WHAT HE IS

BOUND BY: WHEN YOU AND I

DECIDE WE'RE GOING TO DO

OUR OWN THING, GO OUR OWN

WAY, HE WANTS US TO LOVE

HIM BECAUSE WE CHOOSE TO.

HE IS NOT A TASK MASTER

WHO IS GOING TO FORCE US

INTO ANYTHING.

HE SAYS, COME, ALL YOU WHO

ARE WEARY AND HEAVY LADEN.

COME TO ME.

I WANT TO GIVE YOU REST.

I WANT TO GIVE YOU WHAT

YOU NEED TO KNOW WHO YOU

ARE AND TO LIVE

SUCCESSFULLY, AND THEN I

WANT TO GIVE YOU THE FREE

GIFT OF ETERNITY.

I WANT YOU TO SPEND ALL OF

YOUR ETERNITY WITH ME.

SO WILL YOU SAY YES TO

THAT TODAY?

THERE IS NOWHERE ELSE YOU

CAN GO TO GET RID OF THE

GUILT AND THE SHAME OF THE

THINGS YOU'VE DONE.

IT'S THE SAME THING FOR

ME, FOR ALL OF US.

ASK JESUS CHRIST TO BE THE

LORD AND SAVIOUR OF YOUR

SOUL TODAY.

IF YOU'D LIKE SOMEONE TO

PRAY WITH, WE HAVE SOMEONE

ON THE OTHER END OF THE

PHONE LINE WHO IS ALREADY

PRAYING THAT PRAYER RIGHT

NOW.

YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO SAY

WHO YOU ARE.

JUST CALL: 1-800-759-0700.

AND SAY, I'D LIKE TO ASK

CHRIST INTO MY HEART, INTO

MY LIFE.

WE'VE GOT A GREAT PACKET

THAT PAT HAS PUT TOGETHER

JUST FOR YOU.

IT'S FREE.

IT'S CALLED "A NEW DAY."

AFTER YOU PRAY THAT

PRAYER, WHAT DO YOU DO?

HOW DO YOU GROW IN YOUR

FAITH?

THIS IS YOURS WHEN YOU ASK

FOR IT.

WHEN YOU CALL, SAY, I'D

LIKE TO PRAY AND GET THAT

"NEW DAY" PACKET.

PAT?

Pat: CHARLES SAYS,

QUOTE,"MY WIFE CHEATED ON

ME AND THEN LEFT ME FOR

THE OTHER MAN.

I FEEL LIKE THE LORD HAS

TOLD ME OUR MARRIAGE WILL

BE RESTORED.

WHAT DO I?"

OOH, WE'LL ANSWER THAT ONE

AFTER THE BREAK.

I WANT TO PROVE MYSELF

*

Terry: CAN YOU

IMAGINE YOUR CHILDREN

COMING TO YOU AND CRYING,

I'M HUNGRY, AND YOU HAVE

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO GIVE

THEM?

WELL, THAT'S WHAT THE

MOTHER IN OUR NEXT STORY

WAS FACING AFTER SHE LOST

HER ONLY SOURCE OF INCOME.

Reporter: AS A SINGLE

MOTHER RAISING TWO

CHILDREN, NATIVIDAD

PANICKED THE DAY HER

SEWING MACHINE BROKE.

I WAS SEWING AND

SUDDENLY MY MACHINE MADE A

TERRIBLE SOUND.

AND THEN IT DID NOT WORK

ANYMORE.

I FELL DOWN AND HUGGED THE

TABLE AND THE SEWING

MACHINE, AND I CRIED.

Reporter: SEWING HAS

BEEN HER ONLY SOURCE OF

INCOME FOR THE PAST EIGHT

YEARS.

MONEY FROM HER BUSINESS

MEANT THEY WOULD HAVE FOOD

AND ELECTRICITY.

NOW ALL OF THAT WAS IN

JEOPARDY.

WHEN YOUR CHILDREN SAY,

I'M HUNGRY, I'M HUNGRY,

AND YOU HAVE NOTHING TO

GIVE THEM, THAT IS THE

WORST.

I BEGAN TO CRY.

MY CHILDREN LOOKED AT ME.

MY YOUNGEST SAID, DON'T

CRY, MOMMY.

GOD WILL PROVIDE.

Reporter: THEN SHE

DEVELOPED A SEVERE PAIN IN

HER SIDE.

UNFORTUNATELY, THERE WAS

NO MONEY FOR A DOCTOR OR

MEDICINE.

SHE COULDN'T WALK.

SHE COULDN'T DO ANYTHING.

SO I SAT ON HER BED AND

PRAYED.

I ASKED GOD TO TAKE CARE

OF MY MOM.

Reporter: WHEN

"OPERATION BLESSING" MET

THE FAMILY, WE PROVIDED

EMERGENCY MEDICAL

TREATMENT FOR NATIVIDAD'S

INFECTION.

THEN WEN GAVE THEM ENOUGH

FOOD TO LAST FOR TWO

MONTHS WHILE SHE

RECOVERED.

FINALLY WE GAVE HER A NEW

SEWING MACHINE AND CLOTH

AND THREAD AND EVERYTHING

NEEDED TO RESTART HER

SEWING BUSINESS.

NOW I HAVE ORDERS AND

WE ALREADY HAVE A GOOD

INCOME.

THIS IS GREAT.

THIS IS A MIRACLE.

THANK YOU, "OPERATION

BLESSING," FOR HELPING MY

MOTHER GET BETTER AND FOR

THE NEW SEWING MACHINE.

Terry: HER STORY IS

LIKE SO MANY.

YOU KNOW, A HARD-WORKING

WOMAN, PROVIDING ALONE FOR

TWO CHILDREN.

LIFE HAPPENS.

IT HAPPENS IN YOUR LIFE

AND MINE, TOO.

BUT WE DON'T LIVE IN THE

KIND OF DESPERATE

CIRCUMSTANCES THAT SO MUCH

OF THE WORLD DOES.

THAT'S ONE THE REASONS WE

ASK YOU TO JOIN "THE 700

CLUB" BECAUSE IT IS YOUR

KINDNESS AND COMPASSION

AND GENEROSITY THAT ALLOW

US TO MAKE THIS KIND OF A

DIFFERENCE, IN THE LIVES

OF NATIVIDAD AND OTHERS

LIKE HER IN OTHER PARTS OF

THE WORLD.

IT IS 65 CENTS A DAY, $20

A MONTH TO JOIN "THE 700

CLUB."

WHEN YOU JOIN, YOU'RE

GOING TO BE JOINING WITH

THOUSANDS OF US WHO ARE

MAKE A DIFFERENCE, TO

TOUCH AND CHANGE THE LIVES

OF PEOPLE IN NEED.

WILL YOU CALL NOW?

OUR NUMBER IS TOLL-FREE.

IT'S 1-800-759-0700.

JUST CALL AND SAY, I WANT

CARING ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE

IS TO SEND YOU PAT'S

LATEST D.V.D.

IT'S CALLED "HEAVEN, WHAT

GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE

WHO LOVE HIM."

AND SOME OF THE THINGS YOU

JUST SAW ON THAT LAST

COMMERCIAL AD ARE ON HERE.

IT IS AMAZING.

WE WANT YOU TO ENCOURAGED

CALL RIGHT NOW.

THERE IS THE NUMBER.

AND YOU'LL HAVE THE

SATISFACTION OF KNOWING

YOU'RE MAKING A

DIFFERENCE.

> TIME FOR E-MAIL.

ARE YOU READY?

Pat: GO FOR IT.

Terry: CHARLES SAYS,

"I JUST GOT HONORABLY

DISCHARGED FROM THE ARMY

AFTER 12 YEARS.

MY WIFE LEFT ME AFTER

EIGHT YEARS OF MARRIAGE,

COMMITTING ADULTERY,

GETTING PREGNANT, AND

MOVING IN WITH THIS MAN.

NOW THEY TAKE MY SON TO

CHURCH WITH THEM.

I RECEIVED A WORD FROM GOD

ABOUT OUR MARRIAGE BEING

RESTORED ON MORE THAN ONE

OCCASION, AND HAVE BEEN

FASTING AND PRAYING FOR

MONTHS, STILL SUPPORTING

MY SON AND HER.

MY SON STANDS IN FAITH

WITH ME AND DETESTS THIS

GUY.

WHAT CAN I DO?"

Pat: I'M NOT SURE

YOU'VE HEARD FROM GOD

ABOUT THIS.

YOUR WIFE IS NOT EXACTLY A

MODEL OF FIDELITY.

SHE HAS COMMITTED ADULTERY

AND IS LIVING WITH ANOTHER

GUY.

BUT WHAT I DO THINK YOU

DESERVE IS VISITATION

RIGHTS WITH YOUR CHILD.

SO YOU OUGHT TO BRING THAT

TO COURT AND GET LEGAL

CONTROL OVER YOUR SON.

BUT BEYOND THAT, I THINK

YOU OUGHT TO LET HER GO.

I THINK SHE'S -- OF

COURSE, THE BIBLE HAS AN

EXAMPLE OF SOMEBODY WHO

HAD A WIFE WHO WAS IN

PROSTITUTION, AND HE KEPT

TAKING HER BACK.

AND SO YOU CAN TELL YOUR

WIFE, I'LL TAKE YOU BACK,

BUT I'M NOT GOING TO GIVE

YOU BUT ONE CHANCE AND

THIS IS IT.

IF SHE DOESN'T WANT TO DO

IT, THAT'S OKAY.

Terry: TRINITY SAYS,

"I'M AN 11-YEAR-OLD WHO

SCREAMS AT MY PARENTS.

I WANT TO BE A GOOD KID,

BUT I FEEL VIOLENT

SOMETIMES.

I HARM MYSELF SOMETIMES.

I NEED SOME PRAY.

WHAT CAN I DO?"

Pat: I THINK WHAT YOU

NEED TO DO IS ASK YOUR

PARENTS.

YOU'VE GOT A CONDITION

THAT PROBABLY TAKES A

PSYCHIATRIST WITH

KNOWLEDGE OF HORMONES AND

SO FORTH.

YOUR HORMONES ARE RAGING

AND OUT OF CONTROL.

AS YOU GET OLDER, THINGS

MIGHT SETTLE DOWN.

I KNOW YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT

TO DO BECAUSE YOU'RE OUT

OF CONTROL.

I'M SURPRISED YOUR PARENTS

ALREADY HAVEN'T GOTTEN

PROFESSIONAL HELP.

THE BIG THING NOW IS THEY

JUST SLIP A KID RIDALIN

AND QUIET HIM DOWN AND

THAT'S NOT WHAT NEEDS TO

BE DONE.

IT ISN'T JUST EMOTIONAL

THAT IS WRONG.

YOUR WHOLE MENTAL AND

PHYSIOLOGICAL SYSTEM IS

OUT OF CONTROL.

YOU NEED HELP

PROFESSIONALLY.

YOU SAY -- OF COURSE WE'LL

PRAY WITH YOU, BUT I DO

THINK YOU NEED TO ASK --

AND ANY PARENTS LISTENING

TO ME, YOU NEED A

CHRISTIAN PSYCHIATRIST WHO

IS WELL-VERSED IN

PHARMACOLOGY.

Terry: THIS IS JEAN

WHO SAYS, "IS IT CHRISTIAN

TO SUE A DOCTOR FOR

MALPRACTICE IF A LIFE HAS

BEEN MAJORLY ALTERED?"

Pat: YES, AND I'LL

TELL YOU WHY.

ALL OF THESE DOCTORS HAVE

MALPRACTICE INSURANCE.

THE IDEA OF SUING IS WHAT

WILL HAPPEN IS THE

INSURANCE COMPANY WILL

WRITE A CHECK AND IT WILL

HELP.

THAT'S PART OF OUR SYSTEM.

I DON'T THINK THERE IS

ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT.

JUST DON'T HAVE HATRED IN

YOUR HEART AGAINST THE

DOCTOR.

Terry: TORY SAYS,

"I'M SCARED TO WALK OUT OF

MY BEDROOM.

I ALWAYS FEEL LIKE I'M

BEING WATCHED.

IS THERE ANY WAY I CAN GET

THAT THOUGHT OUT OF MY

HEAD?

I WANT TO FEEL SAFE."

Pat: PERFECT LOVE

CASTS OUT FEAR.

YOU NEED TO GET RAPID UP WRAPPED UP

IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD AND

STOP THINKING ABOUT

YOURSELF.

YOU OBVIOUSLY ARE THINKING

ABOUT YOURSELF.

YOU OBVIOUSLY AFRAID

SOMETHING IS GOING TO

HAPPEN TO YOU.

IF YOU FOCUS ON JESUS AND

SAY, I'M GOING TO FOCUS ON

HIM AND PRAISE HIM, I'M

GOING TO RECEIVE THE

ANSWER.

> WE LEAVE YOU WITH

TODAY'S POWER MINUTE TAKEN

FROM PSALM 34: "O TASTE

AND SEE THAT THE LORD IS

GOOD.

BLESSED IS THE ONE WHO

TAKES REFUGE IN HIM."

> TOMORROW, WE'RE GOING

TO TAKE YOU ON A

BEHIND-THE-SCENES TOUR OF

"GOD'S NOT DEAD 2."

FOR TERRY AND WENDY AND

ALL OF US, THIS IS PAT

ROBERTSON.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR

BEING WITH US.

"THE 700 CLUB" WILL BE ON

AT THIS SAME TIME

TOMORROW.

DON'T MISS IT IS.

BYE-BYE.
