Efrem: AND THANK YOU

SO MUCH FOR JOINING US FOR

CBN "NEWSWATCH."

I'M EFREM GRAHAM.

IT IS A BIG WEEK FOR THE

TRUMP CAMPAIGN.

THE PRESUMPTIVE REPUBLICAN

CANDIDATE IS EXPECTED TO

CHOOSE HIS VICE PRESIDENT

FRIDAY AT AN EVENT IN NEW

YORK.

AND RECENT POLLS SHOW HE

IS CLOSING THE GAP WITH

HILLARY CLINTON IN SEVERAL

SWING STATES.

CAITLIN BURKE HAS MORE.

Reporter: DONALD

TRUMP IS IN THE FINAL DAY

OF HIS SEARCH FOR A

RUNNING MATE.

I'M NARROWING IT DOWN.

I'M AT THREE, POTENTIALLY

FOUR, BUT IN MY OWN MIND,

I PROBABLY AM THINKING

ABOUT TWO.

Reporter: INDIANA

GOVERNOR MIKE PENCE IS

EXPECTED TO BE ONE OF THE

MEN AT THE TOP OF HIS

LIST.

TRUMP AND HIS FAMILY

PAYING A VISIT TO THE

GOVERNOR'S MANSION ON

WEDNESDAY.

IT WAS VERY WARM, ONE

FAMILY MEETING WITH

ANOTHER.

Reporter: BUT TRUMP

IS NOT GIVING ANYTHING

AWAY.

RAMPING UP SUSPENCE FOR

HIS BIG REVEAL ON FRIDAY.

YOU'LL BE CALLING UP

MIKE PENCE.

I DON'T KNOW IF HE WILL BE

YOUR GOVERNOR OR VICE

PRESIDENT.

WHO THE HELL KNOWS.

Reporter: AND ON THE

LIST IS NEW JERSEY

GOVERNOR CHRIS CHRISTIE

AND NEWT GINGRICH.

I'M NOT SAYING IT'S

NEWT, BUT IF IT IS NEWT,

NOBODY WILL BE BEATING HIM

IN THE DEBATES, NOBODY.

Reporter: AND TRUMP

IS CLOSING THE GAP WITH

HILLARY CLINTON, AND HIS

CHOICE OF A RUNNING MATE

COULD AFFECT THOSE NUMBERS

EVEN MORE.

AN NBC JOURNAL POLL SHOWED

CLINTON AHEAD OF TRUMP 42%

TO 49%.

A DIFFERENT POLL RELEASED

EARLIER ON WEDNESDAY

SHOWED TRUMP WITH A

TWO-POINT LEAD.

AND TRUMP WAS ALSO UP BY

THREE POINTS IN FLORIDA, A

SIGNIFICANT CHANGE FROM A

MONTH AGO, THAT

REPRESENTED A DOUBLE-DIGIT

SURGE.

MANY BELIEVE THE STATE IS

A MUST-WIN FOR TRUMP SINCE

NO REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE

HAS EVER WON THE WHITE

HOUSE WITHOUT FIRST

WINNING THE BUCKEYE STATE.

AND AN ABC WASHINGTON POLL

SHOWS 56% OF AMERICANS

DISAGREE WITH THE F.B.I.'S

DECISION NOT TO BRING

CHARGES AGAINST CLINTON.

Efrem: EIGHT ATHEISM WILL

BE ADVERTISED AT A POPULAR

FILM.

THEORANGE BELL MEDIA CALLED A

60-FOOT BILLBOARD TOO

POLITICAL.

THE BILLBOARD WOULD HAVE

FEATURED ACTRESS MELISSA

JOAN HART AND A QUOTE FROM

THE MOVIE.

ACCORDING TO THE HOLLYWOOD

REPORTER, ORANGE BARREL

MEDIA TOLD PUR PUREFLIX THAT

EVEN THE TITLE OF THE FILM

WAS PROBLEMATIC.

> PRO-LIFE DEMOCRATSES

CRYING FOUL ON ITS PARTIES

NEWLY APPROVED PLATFORM

STANCE ON ABORTION.

THE ISSUE WAS BROUGHT UP

AT A MEETING ON WEDNESDAY

IN WASHINGTON, D.C. HELD

BY THE SUSAN B. ANTHONY

LIST.

THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM,

IT CALLS FOR THE REPEAL OF

THE HYDE AMEND,

LEGISLATION THAT ENSURES

TAXPAYER DOLLARS ARE NOT

SPENT ON ABORTION.

HILLARY CLINTON SUPPORTS

ITS REPEAL.

THE SUSAN B. ANTHONY LIST

IS CHALLENGING PRO-LIFE

SENATE DEMOCRATS TO OPPOSE

THAT STANCE.

THE TAX FUNDED ABORTION

ON DEMAND NOW THE LITMUS

TEST

FOR THE NEW

DEMOCRATS?

WILL THIS INSISTENCE ON

TAXPAYER FUNDED OF

ABORTION DIVIDE THEM, LOSE

VOTES FOR THEM, AND

PROVIDE A CATALYST FOR

REALIGNMENT ALONG THE

LINES OF THE REAGAN

DEMOCRATIC MOVEMENT?

I BELIEVE IT IS THE

LATTER.

Efrem: AT THE

LEADING, THE SUSAN B.

ANTHONY LIST PRAISED THE

REPUBLICAN PARTY AND

DONALD TRUMP FOR HIS

PRO-LIFE STANCE TO TAKE

CORRECTION AND ADAPT ON

THE ISSUE.

> A BILL PROTECTING

COMPANIES PAYING FOR

ABORTION, THE CONSCIENCE

PROTECTION ACT WAS

DESIGNED TO STOP THE ORDER

FROM CALIFORNIA THAT

REQUIRED INSURANCE

COMPANIES TO PAY FOR

ABORTIONS.

HOWEVER, THE BILL DOES NOT

HAVE MUCH OF A CHANCE OF

BECOMING LAW UNDER THE

HOUSE ADMINISTRATION.

PAUL RYAN SAYS IT PUSHES

PEOPLE OF FAITH ON THE

SIDELINES OF SOCIETY.

REPUBLICANS SAY THE ORDER

FROM THE OBAMA

ADMINISTRATION

DISCRIMINATES AGAINST

COMPANIES AND EMPLOYEES

WHO DON'T SUPPORT

ABORTION.

> LGBT HISTORY LESSONS

ARE CREEPING CLOSER TO

CALIFORNIA CLASSROOMS.

CALIFORNIA EDUCATION

OFFICIALS ARE MOVING TO

PASS A HA LAW ON THURSDAY,

REQUIRING THE SCHOOLS TO

TEACH LGBT HISTORY.

THEY WOULD DISCUSS

CHANGING GENDER IDENTITY

IN THE 18th AND 19th

CENTURY, AND EVEN

CELEBRATE PROMINENT GAY

PEOPLE.

AND THE BILL PROHIBITS ANY

CLASSROOM MATERIALS THAT

MAY REFLECT ADVERSELY ON

GAYS.

> MID-ANGEL, A SERVICE

THAT PROVIDES PEOPLE WITH

MOVIES WITH EXPLICIT

CONTENT ARE SUING STUDIOS.

THEY CLAIM THESE STUDIOS

ARE TRYING TO SABOTAGE

THEIR BUSINESS BY FORCING

THE COMPANY TO GET

PERMISSION TO EVEN OFFER A

FILTERING SERVICE.

AN ATTORNEY FOR FIT ANGEL

SAID, "WE HOPE THAT THE

FILING WILL HELP THESE

STUDIOS TO REALIZE THEY'RE

ASKING THE COURT TO SHUT

DOWN A SERVICE THAT WILL

ALLOW MILLIONS TO FILTER

CONTENT FOR THEMSELVES AND

THEIR CHILDREN."

I WANT TO TURN NOW TO

VENEZUALA, A NATION THAT

SHOULD BE ONE OF THE

WEALTHIEST IN THE WORLD IS

TODAY FILLED WITH STARVING

PEOPLE.

THE COUNTRY IS A TESTAMENT

TO THE DAMAGE SOCIALISM

CAN DO.

DALE HURD HAS THIS STORY.

Reporter: THERE ARE

LINES, AND THEN THERE ARE

LINES IN VENEZUALA.

ITS ECONOMY IS IN RIEWBS.

RUINS.

THE AVERAGE VENEZUALAN

SHOPPER NOW SPENDS 10

HOURS A WEEK TO BUY FOOD.

I AM NUMBER 900.

900!

THIS IS MY I.D. CARD.

IN VENEZUALA, THERE IS NO

FOOD.

THERE IS NOTHING.

Reporter: THIS IS A

NATION ON THE VIRGE OF

TOTAL SOCIETAL COLLAPSE.

FOOD LINES

ARE INCREASING.

MORE PEOPLE ARE

MURDERED

IN CARACAS THAN ANY CITY

OUTSIDE A DECLARED WAR

ZONE.

WITH STORES LOOTED,

PRESIDENT NICOLAS MADURO

HAS NOW PUT THE ARMY IN

CHARGE OF THE FOOD SUPPLY

CHANGE.

MANY VENEZUALANS ARE

SLOWLY STARVING.

KELLY HAS LOST 30 POUNDS,

MAKING SURE HER DAUGHTER

EATS BEFORE SHE DOES.

RIGHT NOW WE EAT ONLY

TWO MEALS A DAY.

IF WE EAT BREAKFAST, WE

DON'T HAVE LUNCH.

IF WE HAVE LUNCH, THERE IS

NO DINNER.

Reporter: ACROSS THE

COUNTRY, KITCHEN CUPBOARDS

ARE EMPTY.

AND WITH INFLATION, IT

DOESN'T PAY FOR LOW-WAGE

EMPLOYEES TO

SHOW UP FOR

WORK.

THE GOVERNMENT WAS FORCED

TO ISSUE ROLLING FOUR-HOUR

BLACKOUTS TO SAVE POWER.

THIS IS IN A NATION WITH

THE WORLD'S LARGEST PROVEN

OIL RESERVES.

BUT YEARS OF MISMANAGEMENT

UNDER A SOCIALIST

GOVERNMENT HAVE BROUGHT A

SIGNIFICANT CHUNK OF THE

ENERGY SECTION FOR A HALT.

HUGO CHAVEZ THREW AROUND

HUGE FUNDS.

WHEN HIS SUCCESSOR WAS

FORCED TO THROW OPEN THE

BORDER WITH COLOMBIA SO

THAT DESPERATE VENEZUALANS

COULD SEARCH FOR FOOD, YOU

WOULD HAVE THOUGHT IT WAS

THE FALL OF THE IRON

CURTAIN.

JAVIER SAID, I CAME HERE

TO BUY RICE, SUGAR,

MEDICINE, AND ANYTHING

ELSE, BECAUSE WE DON'T

HAVE ANYTHING TO EAT.

KIMBERLY CLARK FINALLY HAD

ENOUGH OF THE ECONOMIC

CHAOS AND CLOSED ITS

FACTORY IN CARACAS.

AND CITIBANK ALSO CLOSED.

PRESIDENT MEDURO IS

CALLING IT A U.S. PLOT

AGAINST HIM.

MOST VENEZUALANS WANT HIM

OUT.

A REFERENDUM CAMPAIGN

AGAINST HIM HAS HUGE

MOMENTUM, BUT MEDURO STILL

CONTROLS MOST OF THE

LEVERAGE OF POWER.

DALE HURD, CBN NEWS.

Efrem: COMING UP, AS

WE TOLD YOU, HE IS SAID TO

BE ONE OF DONALD TRUMP'S

TOP PICKS FOR VICE

PRESIDENT.

WE'RE GOING TO HEAR FROM

INDIANA GOVERNOR MIKE

PENCE ABOUT HIS FAITH IN

CHRIST AND HOW IT GUIDES

HIS LIFE.

THAT STORY IS COMING UP

NEXT.

Efrem: INDIANA

GOVERNOR MIKE PENCE IS

BEING MENTIONED AS A TOP

POTENTIAL RUNNING MATE FOR

DONALD TRUMP.

HE HAS BEEN CAPTURING THE

ATTENTION OF CONSERVATIVES

FOR YEARS AS HE FOUGHT TO

MAKE HIS STATE

BUSINESS-FRIENDLY AND

FIGHTING WASHINGTON OVER

MEDICAID AND OBAMACARE.

AS AN EVANGELICAL

CHRISTIAN, HE COULD ALSO

BE JUST WHAT TRUMP NEEDS

TO WIN KEY VOTES.

DAVID BRODY SPOKE WITH

MIKE PENCE LONG BEFORE HIS

VICE PRESIDENTIAL TALK WAS

HEATING UP.

David: WHEN YOU MEET

MIKE PENCE

, HE

IS

ALL-AMERICAN HEARTLAND,

FROM A CORN FIELD TO

CONGRESS AND NOW GOVERNOR.

I DON'T EVER

REMEMBERING THAT EVEN

IMAGING COULD MAKE IT AS

GOVERNOR.

INDIANA IS OPEN FOR TECH

BUSINESS.

WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR YOUR

LEADERSHIP AND YOUR

BUSINESS.

David: THE NUMBERS

SHOW A CONSERVATIVE BLUE

POINT FOR SUCCESS.

SEVEN STRAIGHT YEARS OF

JOB GROWTH, LEADING THE

NATION IN NEW

MANUFACTURING JOBS, PLUS

THROW IN TAX CUTS AND A

BUDGET SURPLUS FOR GOOD

MEASURE.

THERE IS NO ROCKET

SCIENCE TO IT.

WE'RE JUST PUTTING INTO

PRACTICE THOSE

COMMON-SENSE PRINCIPLES OF

LIVING WITHIN OUR MEANS,

LETTING PEOPLE KEEP MORE

OF WHAT THEY EARN.

David: THE

REPUBLICAN PARTY IS TAKING

NOTICE.

SOME G.O.P. BIG WIGS ARE

COURTING PENCE, AND THE

GOVERNOR IS LISTENING.

HE IS A PRO-LIFE

CHRISTIAN, A HAWK ON

DEFENSE, AND ECONOMICALLY

CONSERVATIVE.

HE IS ALSO KEENLY AWARE

THAT THE BEST SOLUTIONS

NEED TO COME FROM OUTSIDE

THE BELTWAY.

I'M ABSOLUTELY

CONVINCED THAT THE CURE

FOR WHAT AILS THIS COUNTRY

IS GOING TO COME MORE FROM

OUR NATION'S STATE

CAPITALS THAN IT EVER WILL

FROM OUR NATIONS' STATE

CAPITAL.

David: AND PENCE HAS

HIS HANDS FULL PROVING

THAT.

ONE CHALLENGE IS

OBAMACARE.

I THINK OBAMACARE NEEDS

TO BE REPEALED, LOCK,

STOCK, AND BARREL.

David: HE SAYS HE

WON'T TAKE FEDERAL MONEY

TO EXPAND MEDICAID HERE

UNLESS IT IS DONE THE

INDIANA WAY.

IF WE CAN HAVE

TRADITIONAL MEDICAID IN

INDIANA FOR VIRTUALLY ALL

OF OUR CITIZENS AND

REPLACE IT WITH THE KIND

OF CONSUMER-DRIVEN HEALTH

CARE IN THE INDIANA

PLAN...

David: SOME

CONSERVATIVES CRITICIZE

PENCE FOR EVEN INCREASING

TAKING THE FEDERAL MONEY.

IT SAYS, THERE IS NOTHING

TO CONSERVATIVE ABOUT THE

STATE'S PLANS TO CAPTURE

FEDERAL DOLLARS EARMARKED

FOR MEDICAID EXPANSION.

THE HEALTHY INDIANA PLAN

IS POPULAR FOR HOOSIERS

BECAUSE IT SETS UP

PERSONAL SAVINGS ACCOUNTS.

PENCE TOUTS IT AS A

NATIONAL MODEL.

IN A WORD, INDIANA HAS

PROVEN IN THE LAST SIX

YEARS THAT CONSUMER-DRIVEN

HEALTH CARE WORKS.

David: AND THE OTHER

BIG ISSUE IS EDUCATION AND

COMMON CORE.

HE PICKED UP PRAISE FOR

HAVING INDIANA OPT OUT OF

THE NATIONAL STANDARD.

MICHELLE MOCKAN SAYS

PENCE'S ATTEMPT TO

REPACKAGE SHODDY STANDARDS

IS FOOLING NO ONE.

WHATEVER DIFFERENCES

SOMEONE MIGHT HAVE ON THE

STANDARDS WE PRODUCED,

THESE WERE WRITTEN BY

HOOSIERS FOR HOOSIERS, AND

THE DEBATE IS HAPPENING

HERE IN THE STATE OF

INDIANA, WHERE IT BELONGS.

David: ONE ITEM NOT

UP FOR DEBATE IS HIS

FAITH.

JUST ABOUT EACH AND

EVERY DAY, I LIKE TO START

OUT MY DAY WITH A LITTLE

BIT OF TIME IN THE BOOK, A

LITTLE BIT OF TIME IN

PRAYER.

THAT HAS BECOME MORE

IMPORTANT TO ME AS I

SHOULDERED THIS LIFE OF

RESPONSIBILITY.

David: AND HE IS

MINDFUL OF SOLOMON'S

PRAYER: "GIVE YOUR SERVANT

THEREFORE AN UNDERSTANDING

MIND TO GOVERN YOUR

PEOPLE, THAT I MAY DISCERN

BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL, FOR

WHO IS ABLE TO GOVERN

THIS, YOU'RE GOOD PEOPLE."

I PRAY OFTEN TO

DISTINGUISH BETWEEN RIGHT

AND WRONG.

David: AND IN

INDIANA, IT IS GOVERNOR

PENCE FOR SUCH A TIME AS

THIS.

DAVID BRODY, CBN NEWS, IN

INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA.

Efrem: UP NEXT, NEW

HOPE FOR CHINA.

WHY THE NEXT GENERATION IS

SHOWING SIGNS OF TURNING

TO CHRIST.

Efrem: PRESIDENT

VLADIMIR PUTIN SIGNED A

LAW OUTLAWING EVANGELISM

AND CRACKING DOWN ON HOUSE

CHURCHES.

THE LAWS FORBID EVANGELISM

OUTSIDE OF CHURCHES AND

OTHER RELIGIOUS SITES.

THAT MEANS PEOPLE CAN'T

EVEN SHARE THEIR FAITH IN

THEIR HOMES OR EVEN ON THE

INTERNET.

AND THEY RESTRICT

MISSIONARY WORK.

THERE CAN BE NO PREACHING,

TEACHING OR ACTIVITY AIMED

AT BRINGING PEOPLE INTO A

RELIGIOUS GROUP.

> NEW SIGNS CHINA'S NEXT

GENERATION IS TURNING TO

CHRISTIANITY.

MANY MILLENNIALS ARE

LOOKING FOR ANSWERS TO

LIFE'S BIG QUESTIONS, AND

THEY'RE DOING IT IN

CHURCH.

AND CHRISTIAN LEADERS ARE

HOPEFUL THE YOUNGER

GENERATION COULD BRING

THEIR NATION CLOSER TO

GOD.

Reporter: CHINA IS

GETTING YOUNGER AND

YOUNGER.

TODAY LARGE CITIES, LIKE

SHANGHAI, ARE FILLED WITH

MILLENNIALS.

24 MILLION PEOPLE LIVE IN

SHANGHAI, AND

THREE-FOURTHS ARE BETWEEN

THE AGES OF 20 AND 33.

YOUNGER CHINESE ARE MOVING

TO SHANGHAI FOR SEVERAL

RELATIONSHIPS.

Through Translator: I

MOVED TO SHANGHAI A FEW

YEARS AGO.

MY FRIENDS KEPT TELLING ME

I COULD FIND BETTER JOBS

HERE.

I WANT TO EARN MORE MONEY

FOR MY FAMILY.

Reporter: AND BESIDES

LOOKING FOR JOBS,

MILLENNIALS HAVE ALSO

JOINED THE CHRISTIAN

COMMUNITY.

TO COPE WITH SOCIETAL

PRECIOUS, YOUNG PEOPLE ARE

INCREASINGLY TURNING TO

SUPPORT GROUPS AND

SPIRITUALITY.

WEREN'T STUDY FOUND THAT

62% OF CHINA'S BELIEVERS

ARE BETWEEN THE AGES OF 16

AND 29.

ONE DAY MY FRIENDS

INVITED ME TO CHURCH.

AS I LISTENED TO THE

MUSIC, ALL OF A SUDDEN I

FELT SO PEACEFUL.

I FELT SOMETHING SPECIAL.

Reporter: CHRISTIAN

LEADERS IN SHANGHAI

REALIZE YOUNG PEOPLE ARE

ATTENDING CHURCHES BECAUSE

THEY LONG FOR PLACES WHERE

THEY CAN TAKE A BREAK AND

EXPRESS THEMSELVES OPENLY.

Through Translator:

LIVING IN THE BIG CITY IS

NOT EASY FOR THEM.

MANY OF THE YOUNG PEOPLE

SHARE WITH ME THAT THEY

FACE BURDENS ALL OF THE

TIME.

SOME OF THEM JUST CRY TO

ME AND ASK ME TO HELP

THEM.

Reporter: CHURCH

LEADERS USE BIBLICAL

TRUTHS TO HELP MILLENNIALS

COPE WITH LIFE.

THEY SHARE THEIR OWN

EXPERIENCES AND TELL

THEM

ABOUT GOD'S GRACE.

Through Translator:

FOR THE SINGLE PEOPLE, I

UNDERSTAND THEIR CONCERNS.

I HAVE READ THE STORY OF

RUTH AND EXPLAINED THE

PLINING TO THEM.

I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THEY

UNDERSTOOD THAT I HAD THE

SAME STRUGGLE BEFORE.

BUT GOD IS FAITHFUL.

Reporter: WITH THE

LEADERS' HELP, SOME YOUNG

CHINESE ATTEND CHURCH

SERVICES FAITHFULLY.

THEY LEARN TO PRAY FOR

THEMSELVES AND THEIR

FAMILY, AND THEY NO LONGER

FEEL EMPTY INSIDE.

Through Translator:

NOW I AM A CHRISTIAN.

I'M NOT AFRAID OF

ANYTHING.

JESUS IS ALWAYS WITH ME.

I'M NOT ALONE WHEN I FACE

DIFFICULTIES.

Reporter: TODAY, WITH

THE HUGE MILLENNIAL

POPULATION, SHANGHAI STILL

REMAINS AS ONE OF THE

IMPORTANT CITIES IN CHINA.

LOCAL CHRISTIAN LEADERS

ARE LOOKING FOR

OPPORTUNITIES TO BRING THE

YOUNGER GENERATION TO

CHURCH.

MAINLY THEY BELIEVE THE

YOUNGER GENERATION MAY BE

THE ONLY SOLUTION TO BRING

THE CITY CLOSER TO GOD.

Through Translator:

WE WANT TO USE ALL OF THE

RESOURCES TO BUILD THE

BRIDGE BETWEEN YOUNG

PEOPLE AND OUR SAVIOR.

THEY COULD DO SOME AMAZING

WORK FOR JESUS.

Reporter: MUNG FE LI

Efrem: THIS YEAR'S

REPUBLICAN NATIONAL

CONVENTION IS BEING HELD

IN CLEVELAND, OHIO.

THE R.N.C. PICKED THE CITY

OVER A HOST OF OTHER

PLACES, INCLUDING DALLAS

AND LAS VEGAS.

AMBER STRONG TRAVELLED

THERE TO SEE JUST WHAT IS

SO SPECIAL ABOUT

CLEVELAND.

Reporter: AMBER C.

STRONG HERE IN CLEVELAND

IN FRONT OF BEAUTIFUL LAKE

ERIE, NACE AHEAD OF THIS YEAR'S

NATIONAL CONVENTION.

BRINGING YOU ONE, TWO,

THREE REASONS WHY

CLEVELAND ROCKS.

HERE AT "THE BRODY FILE",

WE LIKE TO THINK OUTSIDE

THE BOX, AND TALK ABOUT

THINGS OTHER THAN THE ROCK

ANROCKAND ROLL HALL OF FAME, BUT

BEFORE WE START, WE WANTED

TO ASK THE R.N.C., WHY

CLEVELAND?

WHEN I MOVED TO

CLEVELAND A FEW MONTHS

AGO, I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO

EXPECT.

AND I MUST SAY I HAVE BEEN

BLOWN AWH AWAY BY THE PEOPLE,

THE FOOD, THE RESTAURANTS,

THE ARCHITECTURE.

I THINK THIS WILL BE AN

INCREDIBLE MOMENT FOR THE

CITY.

Reporter: BUT LIKE

ANY GOOD JOURNALIST, WE

HAD TO FIND OUT FOR

OURSELVES.

SO WE WENT DIGGING AND

BROUGHT YOU THREE THINGS

YOU PROBABLY DIDN'T KNOW.

NUMBER ONE, CLEVELAND HAS

SOME STRONG POLITICAL

ROOTS.

IT WAS ONCE THE HOME OF

JAMES A. GARFIELD.

HE WAS BORN ITHEY BEGAN WORK ON THIS

MEMORIAL, WHICH INCLUDES

THIS STATUE OF GARFIELD.

IT PAYS HOMAGE TO

BIZANTINE ARCHITECTURE.

GARFIELD WAS ONE OF EIGHT

U.S. PRESIDENTS HAILING

FROM OHIO.

THE NUMBER TWO REASON

CLEVELAND ROCKS IS THE

FOOD.

AND WHAT BETTER PLACE TO

INDULGE THAN THE

HISTORICAL WESTSIDE

MARKET.

THE ORIGIN OF THE CITY'S

OPEN AIR MARKET DATES BACK

TO 1840 AND IT IS STILL

GOING STRONG TODAY.

WITH MORE THAN 100

VENDERS, VISITORS CAN

INDULGE ON MEDITERRANEAN

CUISINE.

> NUMBER THREE,

CLEVELAND ROCKS THE HOUSE

FROM THE CHRISTMAS STORY.

THE MOVIE DEDICATED TO IM

BEARSING PAJAMAS WAS

ACTUALLY FILMED RIGHT HERE

IN CLEVELAND.

THERE IS EVEN A MUSEUM

DEDICATED TO THE MOVIE

RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET.

AS A HOOSIER, I'M AMAZED

THAT A MOVIE WAS ACTUALLY

SHOT IN CANADA.

SO THERE YOU HAVE IT, ONE,

TWO, THREE REASONS WHY

CLEVELAND ROCKS.

IF YOU WANT TO KEEP UP

WITH ALL OF THE LATEST

EVENTS HAPPENING RIGHT

HERE AT THE REPUBLICAN

NATIONAL CONVENTION, KEEP

UP WITH CBN NEWS ON

INSTAGRAM, Facebook, AND

TWITTER FOR THE LATEST

NEWS AND STUFF LIKE THIS

HAPPENING ALL NEXT WEEK.

I'M AMBER C. STRONG FOR

"THE BRODY FILE" AND CBN

NEWS.

Efrem: IT IS TIME FOR

YOUR THURSDAY THANKFUL,

BEFORE WE SAY GOOD-BYE, I

HOPE YOU WILL JOIN ME IN

THIS PRAYER OF GRATITUDE.

GOD, I THANK YOU THAT BY

ONE BLOOD YOU MADE ALL MEN

AND HELP US TO FULLY

REALIZE OUR CONNECTION IN

EACH OTHER TO YOU.

THIS IS THE TIME FOR US

ALL TO RECOGNIZE THAT

CONNECTION, AND IN SEEING

THAT CONNECTION, WE MUST

FEEL AND HAVE COMPASSION

FOR THE PAIN AND NEEDS OF

OTHERS.

AND NOT ONLY FEEL IT, BUT

DO SOMETHING TO HELP EASE

THE BURDEN.

THAT IS GOING TO DO IT FOR

THIS EDITION OF CBN

"NEWSWATCH".

THANKS FOR WATCHING.
