HE SAID I'M GETTING

LOOKS.

AND ANY OFFICERS OR

WHOEVER, IF

YOU SEE ME AND WANT A

PRAYER.

I GOT YOU. HE WAS A VETERAN

OF THE

BATON ROUGE POLICE

DEPARTMENT.

GARAFOLA SERVED IN THE

DEPARTMENT.

A MAN IDENTIFIED AT THE

SCENE WAS

IDENTIFIED AS GAVIN LONG

FROM

KANSAS CITY WHO SERVED 5

YEARS IN

THE MARINE.

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA TOOK

AN

OBVIOUS VIEW SUNDAY.

WE ARE A NATION THAT IS

CLEAR

AND NOTHING JUSTIFIES THE

SHOOTING

OF LAW ENFORCEMENT.

THIS WAS A STRUGGLE WITH

POLICE

ONLY 2 WEEKS AGO.

MIKE EDMONDSON ASKED FOR

PRAYER OF

THE CITY OF BATON ROUGE.

PRAYER VIGILS WERE HELD

ON

SUNDAY FOR THE BASTILLE DAY

TRUCK

ATTACK.

THURSDAY'S ATTACK LEFT MORE

THAN

80 PEOPLE DEAD AND HUNDREDS

WOUNDED.

SEVERAL WAR PLANES HAVE

BEEN

PATROLLING THE SKY OVER

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION

TAKES ON

IN CLEVELAND, DONALD TRUMP

TO BE

NAMED THE REPUBLICAN

NOMINATION

THIS WEEK.

IT'S GOING TO BE A BIG

CONCERN FOR

THE EVENT.

IT'S BEEN A FIERY

CAMPAIGN

SEASON FOR BOTH PARTIES

WITH

NATIONWIDE PROTESTERS AT

TIMES

CLASHING WITH POLICE AND

EACH

OTHER AT VARIOUS POLITICAL

EVENTS.

AND IN THE RECENT SHOOTINGS

OF

DALLAS POLICE OFFICERS.

THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL

CONVENTION

SAY IT'S CONFIDENT IN THE

SECURITIES SET IN PLACE.

WE ARE WORK, EVERYDAY TO

MAKE

SURE EVERYONE IS SAFE.

A LOT OF HARD WORK HAS

GONE

INTO PREPARING FOR THIS

EVENT.

WE HAVE HAD A TEAM HERE

ON THE

GROUND FOR WELL OVER A YEAR

PREPARING FOR THE

CONVENTION AND

THAT'S EVERYTHING FROM

TRANSPORTATION LOGISTICS.

THAT PREPARATION ALSO

INCLUDES

HOURS OF TACTICAL TRAINING

ALONG

WITH THE CITY'S PURCHASE OF

300

BICYCLES TO SPAN BIKE

PATROLS

THROUGHOUT THE CROWDS.

THE CLEVELAND POLICE

DEPARTMENT

AND SECRET SERVICE AND THE

FBI

WILL HELP KEEP THE PEACE AS

NECESSARY.

AS FOR WHAT HAPPENED IN

VIOLENCE,

SOME OF THE CITY'S LAW

ENFORCEMENT

ARE ON EDGE.

ABOUT TRUMP, ABOUT

HILARY, I

DON'T CARE.

DON'T THROW A STONE.

DON'T THROW A ROCK AT MY

GUYS.

DETECTIVE STEVE LOOMIS

IS ALSO

THE PRESIDENT OF THE POLICE

PATROLMAN'S ASSOCIATION.

LOOMAN HAS BEEN THE BIGGEST

CRITIC

OF THE RNC WHEN IT COMES TO

SECURITY.

MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS

FOR THE

THE SAFETY OF OUR GUYS.

I'M CONCERNED WE ARE NOT

GOING TO

HAVE THE NUMBERS WE SHOULD

HAVE.

LOOMIS WAS ALSO UPSET

WHEN HIS

OFFICERS TACTICAL EQUIPMENT

CAMEN

AND IT DIDN'T FIT.

HE WORKED WITH THEM TO GET

IT

ALTERED.

THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WILL

BE ON

WATCH FOR POTENTIAL

TERRORIST

ACTIVITIES.

WHILE MOST SEEM TO BE

RESOLVED,

THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE

WITH AN

AGENDA IN PLACE. HE TOLD

HIS GROUP

PLANS TO HAVE A RALLY AND

TOLD HOW

THEY PLAN TO PROTECT

THEMSELVES

FROM POTENTIAL VALUE.

HE SAYS OHIO IS AN OPEN

CARRY

STATE.

IF YOU ARE GOING TO PROTECT

YOURSELF, BE RESPONSIBLE

WITH IT.

WE CAN'T TELL ANYONE NOT TO

BRING

A GUN. BLACK LIVES MATTER

DID NOT

RESPOND TO CBN WHEN WE

POSED THE

QUESTION TO THEM.

DR. VERNON, THE PASTOR OF

THE

PREDOMINANT CHURCH, HE

BELIEVES

THE CONVENTION COULD BE THE

PERFECT OPPORTUNITY TO

HIGHLIGHT

INJUSTICE.

THE PART OF ME SAYING

WHAT IS

GOING TO PREVENT FROM

BLACK LIVES

OF AMERICA.

HE EMPHASIZES PEACE.

CLEVELAND IS PEACE.

I DON'T WANT THE CITY TO BE

ANOTHER DALLAS.

IF TROUBLE COMES, IT

WON'T BE

FOR THE PEOPLE WHO CALL

CLEVELAND

HOME.

THEY ARE POSITIVE CLEVELAND

RESIDENTS WILL REMAIN

PEACEFUL NO

MATTER WHAT THEIR POLITICAL

DIFFERENCE IS AND HOPING

OUTSIDERS

WILL DO THE SAME.

JOHN JESSUP, CBN NEWS.

Efrem: RECORDING ARTIST

AND

POPULAR BELIEVERS FROM

AROUND THE

COUNTRY PACKED THE MALL

THIS

WEEKEND TO PRAY FOR OUR

NATION.

TODAY 2017 HAS BEEN AROUND

-- BUT

WAS FORCED TO SHUTDOWN

AFTER HOURS.

SATURDAY'S TEMPERATURES

QUICKLY

CLIMBED ABOVE 90 DEGREES IN

WASHINGTON D.C..

BUT THE STEAMY WEATHER

DIDN'T KEEP

HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS FROM

ENTERING THE CALLS THAT

COME TO

THE NATIONAL MALL TO STAND

TOGETHER, WORSHIP TOGETHER

AND

PRAY TOGETHER.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT

PERFECT

PEOPLE GATHERING. IT'S

ABOUT

IMPERFECT PEOPLE GATHERING.

THERE

IS ONLY ONE ANSWER, IT'S

JESUS.

THIS MASSIVE EVENT CALL

THE

TOGETHER 2016.

AND RECORDING ARTIST LIKE

HILL

SONG UNITED L.A. KREY AND

MATTHEW

WEST.

I WAS OVERWHELMED BY THE

CROWD.

THERE WERE THOUSANDS,

HUNDREDS OF

THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE

STANDING IN

THAT PLACE TODAY

CELEBRATING A GOD

WHO FORGIVES, WHO CAN BRING

HEALING TO OUR NATION.

THIS HAS BEEN IN THE

WORKS FOR

THE LAST 5 YEARS, BUT THE

TIMING

OF IT AND CONSIDERING

WHAT'S

HAPPENING IN THE WORLD IN

THE LAST

FEW WEEKS COULDN'T HAVE

BEEN

BETTER.

THE DECISION TO SHUTDOWN

WAS ABOUT

5 HOURS LATER.

THAT DECISION TO PREVENT

ILLNESSES.

JUST A GLIMPSE, WE GOT

AT ONE

TIME WHETHER IT'S AT 9:00

OR NOW

BE READY TO WALK OUT OF

HERE AND

LIVE IT OUT.

CHRISTIAN CONCERT RYAN

ROMERO

WAS THERE WHEN THE MINISTER

FIRST

CALLED PLANS FOR TOGETHER

20165

YEARS AGO.

HOW BUMPED -- BUMMED

ARE YOU

THAT IT HAD TO END EARLY?

5 YEARS WE'VE BEEN

PLANNING

THAT.

THAT WAS A HARD HIM --

THING. BUT

I HAD TO TRUST THAT THE

LORD HAD

SOMETHING IN THAT.

EVEN WITH TEARS IN HIS

EYES, I

HAVE TO TRUST THAT GOD

KNOWS WHAT

HE'S DOING AND SOMETHING

AMAZING

STILL HAPPENED EVEN THOUGH

WE HAD

TO END EARLY.

THE TRUE MEASURE OF ASKS

IS

WHAT CHANGES WHAT HAPPENED

AT THE

PARK.

AFTER MORE THAN 20

YEARS, HE'S

NOW FIGHTING IN CAPITOL

HILL.

AFTER THIS.

AFTER THIS.

> OKLAHOMA REPUBLICAN HAS

BECOME

A RELIABLY CONSIDER THE

LEADER

ENCOURAGING AMERICANS NOT

TO GIVE

UP ON WASHINGTON AND ALSO

EXERCISES HIS FAITH EVERY

CHANCE

HE GETS.

WE LEARN MORE ABOUT THE

JUNIOR

SENATOR FROM THE STATE.

SO MANY BACKGROUNDS, SO

MANY

THINGS.

HEY, HOW ARE YOU? I'M

JAMES.

HOW ARE YOU? I'M DOING

GREAT.

EATING STREET FOOD ON

ROUTE 66

TALKING JESUS WITH

DEMOCRATS ARE

WORKING TO BLOCK FEDERAL

FUNDS

FROM CAPITOL HILL.

JAMES IS COMPOSED.

HE LIKES DR. PEPPER, HIS

DAUGHTER

AND HIS DOG AND HIS BELOVED

WIFE

CINDY.

THERE IS DEBATE ON WHAT

YEAR WE

MET IN HIGH SCHOOL.

IT WAS A JUNIOR YEAR.

LANGFORD SEE'S HIMSELF AT

NOT ONE

RUNNING FOR OFFICE.

AFTER BECOMING A BAPTIST

MINISTER HE SPENT MOST OF

HIS TIME

RUNNING THE YOUTH CAMP.

THE LARGEST IN THE WORLD

AND THEN

FELT GOD PREPARING THEM FOR

SOMETHING NEW.

THEY THE LOCAL

CONGRESSWOMAN WAS

HEADING TO ANOTHER OFFICE.

I HEARD GOD SAID, THAT'S

WHAT I

WANT YOU TO DO.

IT WASN'T AUDIBLE OR A BIG

BOOM.

IT'S JUST YOU ASKED ME FOR

WHAT I

WAS LOOKING FOR AND THAT IS

IT.

THAT'S INSANE.

IT'S IRRATIONAL. IT CAN'T

BE IT.

IT WAS ONE OF THOSE CRYSTAL

CLEAR

MOMENTS.

HE RAN AS AN UNKNOWN IN

THE

CROWDED REPUBLICAN PRIMARY.

THAT

WAS IN 2010.

NOW HE'S THE JUNIOR SENATOR

FROM

OKLAHOMA.

IT CAME DOWN SIMPLY TO

OBEDIENCE.

EVERY PART OF WHAT HE

DOES IS

TO HONOR CHRIST AND BE

OBEDIENT TO

HIM.

AND, IT'S EVIDENT IN

EVERYTHING HE

DOES.

SO IT'S VERY FUN BECAUSE

SOMETHING

THAT WE GET TO DO NOW IS

WATCH GOD

UP FOLD THINGS THAT WE

WOULDN'T

HAVE SEEN BEFORE, AND IT'S

A PART

OF THAT.

HERE IN OKLAHOMA, JOKE

IS IF

YOU DON'T LIKE THE WEATHER

JUST

WAIT BECAUSE IT'S ABOUT TO

CHANGE.

BUT VOTERS COME TO LEARN

THAT

SENATOR JAMES LANGFORD

STICKS TO

THINGS IN WASHINGTON EVEN

WHEN

THEY ARE NOT POPULAR.

I LIKE EVEN WHEN YOU ARE

NOT

ELECTED TO THE QUESTION,

ARE YOU

HAVING FUN?

THIS IS A JOB, A TASK.

I'M NOT THERE TO BE A

CELEBRITY TO

GO PLAY.

THERE IS A LOT OF WORK TO

DO AND

IT'S A MESS.

HE FACES PROBLEM THAT

NOBODY

ELSE IS WORKING ON TO OVER

SEE

FEDERAL REGULATIONS. OF

WHAT SOME

MIGHT FIND OBSCURE, HE

FINDS

MONUMENTAL LIKE THE

NATIONAL TEST

WHICH IS FREEDOM OF WORSHIP

LIKE

THE PROMISE OF FREEDOM OF

RELIGION.

THE TYPE OF CHANGE.. THE

TYPE OF

SYSTEMIC PROBLEMS THAT

CONSERVATIVES LIKE TO

COMPLAIN

ABOUT.

WHAT IS THE FEDERAL

GOVERNMENT

SPENDING TAX DOLLARS ON.

IT MAKES ME WANT ME TO

PULL MY

HAIR OUT FROM BASICALLY

FROM

SOCIAL SECURITY AND WHY

HAVEN'T

THEY CHANGED.

THERE IS PEOPLE THAT DIED

10-20

YEARS AGO. PEOPLE ARE STILL

FILING

TAXES ON AND BENEFITS.

BOTH PARTS ON ONE AGENCY,

KNOWS

THIS PERSON DIED BUT THE

INFORMATION DOESN'T GET TO

THE

OTHER PARTY.

THAT'S DUMB. THAT'S

BILLIONS OF

DOLLARS IN WASTE.

HE BELIEVES THE CHURCH

OUGHT TO

DEAL WITH PROBLEMS AND

INSTEAD OF

PASSING TO WASHINGTON.

OUR FAITH CALLS FOR

PEACE, LOVE

AND JOY.

WHEN WE EXHIBIT THE JOY OF

CHRIST,

WE ARE NOT DEMEANING IN

HATEFUL.

ALL ARE IMAGES IN GOD.

DEEPLY LOVE

THAT PERSON.

TO SET A TONE WITHOUT

ACCEPTING

THAT STONE.

TO KNOW THE LOVE OF GOD AND

BE

ABLE TO EXPERIENCE THE

GRACE OF

GOD THAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED

AS

WELL.

HE AND HIS WIFE ARE

EXPERIENCING THE BLESSING

OF THE

POLITICAL FAITH.

WE HAVE HAD SO MANY

TIMES OF

PEOPLE COMING TO KNOW

CHRIST WITH

JAMES THERE AND HE'S BEEN A

PART

OF THAT.

SOME OF THOSE PEOPLE THAT

YOU

WATCH AND YOU THINK, ONLY

MY GOD

CAN DO THAT.

DESPITE THE MANY

PROBLEMS

LANGFORD SEE'S IN PLAIN

VIEW, HE

SAYS AMERICANS SHOULDN'T

LOSE

HOPE.

THERE ARE A LOT OF

BELIEVERS IN

THE LAST 5 YEARS. GOD IS UP

TO

SOMETHING. AT THE END OF

GAMMAORA

GOD HAS PULLED OFF.

WHAT HE HAS WRITTEN OFF, WE

SHOULD

NOT WRITE OFF.

> UP NEXT.

THE WORST NIGHT IN AMERICA.

WE HEAR HIS VISION FOR

UNITING OUR

COUNTRY.

COUNTRY.

> GRAMMY AWARD-WINNING

SINGER

CHRIS TOMLIN CREATED A

WORSHIP

NIGHT IN AMERICA. HE HAD NO

IDEA

HOW MUCH OUR COUNTRY WOULD

NEED

IT. WE ARE IN DENVER WITH

THE

STORY FROM BACKSTAGE .

HI, I'M STEPHANIE RIGS

BEHIND-THE-SCENES WITH

GRAMMY

AWARD-WINNING CHRIS TOMLIN.

STOP LAUGHING. IT'S ALL

ABOUT GOD

TO YOU, ISN'T IT?

ABSOLUTELY.

IT'S AWESOME TO BE HERE.

AMAZING

TO BE HERE IN DENVER.

WHAT'S IT LIKE TO BE ON

STAGE

WORSHIPPING GOD ON STAGE.

IT'S THE MOST FUN I HAVE

EVER

HAD BECAUSE I'M HERE WITH

MY

FRIENDS.

IT'S POWERFUL.

TO SEE PEOPLE'S RESPONSE TO

THESE

SONGS, JUST THE JOY IN SOME

PEOPLE'S HEARTS.

THERE IS NOTHING LIKE IT.

MY BUDDY MATT WHO IS WITH

ME

TONIGHT.

BUT, HE SAYS THERE IS

SOMETHING

AMAZING WHEN THE PEOPLE OF

GOD

START SINGING THE PRAISES

OF GOD

IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD.

IT'S

DIFFERENT THAN ANY OTHER

SOUND IN

THE WORLD.

THAT'S WHAT YOU HEAR

TONIGHT.

WHEN YOU SAY WHAT DOES THE

MUSIC

SOUND LIKE, IT SOUNDS LIKE

PEOPLE

PRAISING GOD.

DO YOU WANT TO SHARE

ANYTHING

FROM LAST TOUR OR THIS

TOUR?

I REMEMBER WALKING

OFFSTAGE

FROM MADISON SQUARE GARDEN

AND

PLAYING IN THAT ICONIC

STAGE.

THERE WAS A GUY, SECURITY

GUARD,

HUGE, HE SAYS I HAVE BEEN

HERE FOR

20 YEARS, I JUST WANT TO

TELL YOU,

I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING

LIKE

THIS AND I HAVE NEVER HEARD

A

CROWD THAT LOUD IN THIS

PLACE.

THINK ABOUT ALL THE PLACES

IN

MADISON SQUARE GARDEN. THAT

WAS

POWERFUL. THAT'S ONE THING

WHEN

IT'S SOMETHING THAT IT

COMES FROM

SOMEONE YOU DON'T EXPECT.

THERE IS SOMETHING POWERFUL

ABOUT

WHEN PEOPLE START SINGING

FROM

THEIR HEARTS TO GOD.

THERE IS ALSO SOMETHING

POWERFUL ABOUT HEARING THE

VOICE

OF GOD AND THINKING, SHOULD

I DO

THAT, WILL I HAVE TIME,

WHAT ABOUT

MY YOUNG GIRLS.

YOU KNOW WHAT, I'M GOING TO

DO IT.

THIS HAS BEEN A RISK FOR

ME. I

HAVE TO DO A LOT OF PRAYER,

BUT

GOD IS LEADING ME. IT'S NOT

LIKE I

HAVE A CHOICE. THIS IS

DIFFERENT

AND DIFFERENT THAN ANYTHING

I HAVE

EVER DONE.

I HAVE TO TAKE THAT.

ESPECIALLY IN OUR CLIMATE

IN THIS

COUNTRY, WE HAVE TO DO THIS

EVERY

NIGHT.

EVERYDAY AND STEP ON THE

FAITH AND

SAY, YOU KNOW, OUR STORY IS

A

STORY OF FAITH AMIDST ALL

THAT'S

GOING AROUND, WE ARE GOING

TO PRAY

OVER OUR COUNTRY AND THE

WORLD.

IT'S BEEN A STEP, A BIG

STEP.

WORSHIP NIGHT IN AMERICA

WILL

WRAP UP IN DENVER AND MOVE

TO

CHICAGO, MIAMI AND THEN TO

NEW

YORK CITY.
