Wendy: THE COMING

CRACKDOWN ON CHRISTIAN

COLLEGES.

WE THINK IT COULD

AFFECT US IN A VERY

NEGATIVE WAY.

Wendy: AND THE

GOVERNMENT IS GOING TO HIT

WHERE IT HURTS.

THIS BILL ISN'T TAKING

MONEY FROM THE SCHOOLS.

IT IS TAKING AWAY MONEY

FROM STUDENTS.

Wendy: PLUS, AN

ATHLETE WITH NO LIMBS.

THEY REALLY HAD NO

IDEA.

Wendy: AND HE HAD NO

LIMITS.

IN THAT MOMENT, IT WAS

LIKE I HAD FOUND AN

11-YEAR-OLD VERSION'S

PURPOSE IN LIFE.

Wendy: ON TODAY'S

"700 CLUB."

*

Pat: WELL, WELCOME,

FOLKS, TO THIS EDITION OF

"THE 700 CLUB."

WENDY, I WANT TO ASK YOU A

QUESTION: IF YOU'RE IN A

POLITICAL CAMPAIGN AND

YOUR POLICIES DON'T WORK,

YOU CANNOT BRAG ABOUT THE

ECONOMY BECAUSE IT IS IN

THE TANK.

YOU CAN'T BRAG ABOUT

EMPLOYMENT BECAUSE IT IS

IN THE TANK.

YOU CAN'T BRAG ABOUT THE

COST OF LIVING BECAUSE IT

HAS GONE SKY-HIGH.

YOU CAN'T BRAG ABOUT YOUR

HEALTH CARE ACHIEVEMENTS.

SO HOW DO YOU WIN?

WHAT DO YOU DO?

Wendy: WELL, YOU'RE

TALKING ABOUT OBAMA, BUT

HE IS NOT RUNNING.

Pat: NO, BUT HILLARY

IS.

WHAT'S THE NEXT -- WHAT

WOULD THE DEMOCRATS DO?

Wendy: YOU ATTACK THE

CHARACTER OF YOUR

OPPONENT.

Pat: THAT'S EXACTLY

IT.

YOU MAKE HIM LOOK.

SO THE PRESIDENT OF THE

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

SUPPOSEDLY THE PRESIDENT

OF ALL OF US, COMES OUT TO

ATTACK THE NOMINEE OF A

REPUBLICAN PARTY WHO HAS

WON MORE VOTES THAN

ANYBODY ALONG THE WAY,

ABOUT THREE MILLION MORE

THAN HISTORICAL.

AND HE SAYS HE IS UNFIT

FOR OFFICE.

WHY ARE THEY DOING THAT?

WELL, BECAUSE THEY DON'T

HAVE ANY PROGRAM.

THEY'RE GOING TO RAISE

TAXES.

AND THERE IS A HUGE NUMBER

OF PEOPLE ON WELFARE AND

ON FOOD STAMPS AND SO

FORTH.

HE CAN'T BRAG ABOUT ANY OF

THAT, AND CERTAINLY NOT

ABOUT THE IRANIAN DEAL.

ISN'T IT AMAZING.

Wendy: THIS NEW

DEVELOPMENT WITH IRAN IS

VERY INTERESTING, AND I

DON'T THINK THAT LOOKS

GOOD FOR HILLARY.

SHE WAS SECRETARY OF STATE

WHEN THIS WENT DOWN.

Pat: IF THE DONALD

WOULD JUST STAY ON MESSAGE

AND JUST TALK ABOUT JOBS

AND THE ECONOMY, HE'S GOT

IT IN A WALK.

BUT IF HE KEEPS ON TALKING

ON THESE SIDE ISSUES --

ANYHOW, THEY'RE TRYING TO

BAIT HIM TO ATTACKING.

WELL, THERE IS A NEW

REPORT OUT, AS WENDY

MENTIONED, THAT THE OBAMA

ADMINISTRATION SENT

$400 MILLION TO IRAN IN

JANUARY, WHEN IT RELEASED

FOUR AMERICAN HOSTAGES.

THAT IS $100 MILLION PER

HOSTAGE.

Wendy: WOW.

BUT THE WHITE HOUSE SAYS

IT WAS NOT A RANSOM

PAYMENT.

THAT'S THE LATEST

CONTROVERSY.

IT COMES AFTER ANOTHER WAR

OF WORDS BETWEEN TRUMP AND

PRESIDENT OBAMA.

EFREM GRAHAM HAS THE

STORY.

President Obama: I

THINK THE REPUBLICAN

NOMINEE IS UNFIT TO SERVE

AS PRESIDENT.

HE IS WOEFULLY UNPREPARED

TO DO THIS JOB.

Efrem: WITH A FOREIGN

LEADER BY HIS SIDE,

PRESIDENT OBAMA MADE AN

UNPRECEDENTED MOVE IN

MODERN ELECTIONS.

HE NOT ONLY BLASTED DONALD

TRUMP AS UNQUALIFIED FOR

THE WHITE HOUSE, HE

SUGGESTED REPUBLICAN

LEADERS SHOULD WITHDRAW

THEIR SUPPORT FOR THEIR

PARTY'S NOMINEE.

President Obama: IF

YOU ARE REPEATEDLY HAVING

TO SAY, IN VERY STRONG

TERMS, THAT WHAT HE HAS

SAID IS UNACCEPTABLE, WHY

ARE YOU STILL ENDORSING

HIM?

Efrem: TRUMP WASTED

NO TIME FIRING BACK.

WELL, HE IS A TERRIBLE

PRESIDENT.

HE WILL PROBABLY GO DOWN

AS THE WORST PRESIDENT IN

THE HISTORY OF OUR

COUNTRY.

HE HAS BEEN A TOTAL

DISASTER.

YOU LOOK AT WHAT HAS

HAPPENED TO THE MIDDLE

EAST.

YOU LOOK AT WHAT HAS

HAPPENED WITH SYRIA AND

HIS LINE IN THE SAND.

Efrem: TRUMP'S

CRITICISM COMES AS THE

WALL STREET JOURNAL

REPORTS THAT THE WHITE

HOUSE SECRETLY ORGANIZED

THE TRANSFER OF

$400 MILLION TO IRAN,

WHICH COINCIDED WITH THE

JANUARY RELEASE OF FOUR

AMERICANS DETAINED IN

TEHRAN.

THE MONEY IS SAID TO BE

THE FIRST INSTALLMENT OF A

$1.7 BILLION SETTLEMENT

THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION

REACHED WITH IRAN OVER A

FAILED ARMS DEAL FROM THE

LATE 1970s.

AND THAT THE FIRST PAYMENT

ALSO COINCIDED WITH THE

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE

NUCLEAR AGREEMENT.

SOME REPUBLICANS IN

CONGRESS ACCUSED THE

PRESIDENT OF PAYING A

RANSOM FOR U.S. HOSTAGES.

BUT THE OBAMA

ADMINISTRATION INSISTS

THERE WAS NO QUID PRO QUO.

AND SO LAWMAKERS WORRY

IRAN WOULD GIVE SOME OF

THE MONEY TO ALLIES, LIKE

PRESIDENT ASSAD OF SYRIA,

AND HEZBOLLAH, WHICH THE

U.S. CONSIDERS A TERRORIST

GROUP.

THE NEWS OF THE CASH

EXCHANGE CAME AFTER TRUMP

HAD ALREADY SAID THE

PRESIDENT AND THIS

DEMOCRATIC RIVAL, HILLARY

CLINTON, HAVE DESTABILIZED

THE MIDDLE EAST, AND IT

COULD BECOME AN ISSUE IN

THE ELECTION.

ALONG WITH TRUMP'S CHARGES

THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION

HAS RELEASED CRIMINAL

ALIENS INTO THE U.S. WHO

HAVE KILLED ONE INNOCENT

AMERICAN AFTER ANOTHER AND

PRODUCED THE WORST

ECONOMIC RECOVERY SINCE

THE GREAT DEPRESSION.

EFREM GRAHAM, CBN NEWS.

Pat: WELL, THE NEW

REPORT ABOUT THE CASH

PAYMENT TO IRAN COMES JUST

AFTER A YEAR -- EXCUSE ME,

A YEAR AFTER PRESIDENT

OBAMA'S NUCLEAR DEAL WITH

THAT COUNTRY, A DEAL THAT

MANY PEOPLE STILL

CRITICIZE.

JOHN JESSUP HAS THAT.

John: THAT'S RIGHT,

PAT.

THE UNITED STATES, ALONG

WITH FIVE OTHER WORLD

POWERS, SIGNED THAT DEAL

WITH A STATED GOAL OF

PREVENTING IRAN FROM

GETTING A NUCLEAR BOMB.

BUT AS CHRIS MITCHELL

REPORTS FROM JERUSALEM,

CRITICS STILL WARN IT

COULD ACTUALLY HAVE THE

OPPOSITE AFFECT AND ALLOW

IRAN TO BUILD NUCLEAR

WEAPONS.

Chris: PRESIDENT

OBAMA HAILED THE DEAL AS A

DIPLOMATIC BREAKTHROUGH

WHEN IT WAS SIGNED.

President Obama:

AFTER TWO YEARS OF

NEGOTIATIONS, THE UNITED

STATES, TOGETHER WITH OUR

INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS,

HAVE ACHIEVED SOMETHING

THAT DEC CATE DECADES OF ANIMOSITY

HAS NOT.

Chris: DESPITE THE

PRAISE BY PRESIDENT OBAMA

AND OTHERS, ONE YEAR LATER

THE EXPERTS STILL WARN

THAT THE FLAWS IN THE

AGREEMENT COULD MEAN THAT

INSTEAD OF PREVENTING THE

PERSIAN NATION FROM

BUILDING A NUCLEAR WEAPON,

IT COULD LEAD TO A NUCLEAR

IRAN, WITH CATASTROPHIC

RESULTS FOR ISRAEL, THE

MIDDLE EAST, AND EVEN THE

UNITED STATES ITSELF.

THEIR MAJOR GOAL IN

THIS NEGOTIATION WAS TO

GET MAXIMUM SANCTIONS

RELIEF IN EXCHANGE FOR

ABSOLUTE MINIMAL NUCLEAR

CONCESSIONS, AND THAT'S

BASICALLY WHAT THEY GOT

WITH THIS DEAL.

Chris: EMILY LANDOW

BELIEVES IRAN WON THE

NEGOTIATIONS.

IT COULD WALK AWAY FROM

THE AGREEMENT AT ANY TIME.

AND THE AGREEMENT FAILED

TO ADDRESS IRAN'S

BALLISTIC MISSILE PROGRAM.

THEIR BIGGEST VICTORY

IS NOT HAVING THEIR

BREAKOUT CAPABILITY

DESTROYED, UNDER MINMINED OR

DISMANTLED.

Chris: THE OBAMA

ADMINISTRATION SEPT OUT A SENT OUT A

NARRATIVE THAT SAID IF YOU

DON'T SUPPORT THE

AGREEMENT, YOU'RE FOR WAR.

CLAIRE LOPEZ AGREES THE

THAT ADMINISTRATION WAS

NOT HONEST WITH THE

AMERICAN PUBLIC.

WE'RE LOOKING AT A REAL

COORDINATED EFFORT TO

DECEIVE THE AMERICAN PENAL

PEOPLE ABOUT THIS DEAL,

AND NOT EVEN TOUCHING ON

THE COVERT NEGOTIATIONS

THAT ARE GOING ON

UNDERGROUND AND UNDER

MOUNTAINS.

Chris: SHE CITES THE

U.S. MAGAZINE ARTICLE, AND

IN IT BEN RHODES SAYS,

"THEY USED THE MEDIA AS AN

ECHO CHAMBER TO HELP PUSH

ITS ARGUMENT IN THE PUBLIC

IN THE U.S.."

TRYING TO SELL THAT

PACKAGE OF GOODS OF

DUPLICITY AND DECEIT, BUT

USING THE MEDIA IN THE

UNITED STATES, IS WHAT

THAT ECHO CHAMBER WAS ALL

ABOUT.

Chris: WHILE THE DEAL

PUTS RESTRAINTS ON IRAN

FOR 10 OR 15 YEARS, THEY

DON'T MIND.

LOOKING AT THE

LONG-TERM, WHICH IS WHAT

IRAN DOES, THEY HAVE KEPT

THEIR BREAKOUT CAPABILITY,

EVEN IF THEY HAVE TO WAIT

OUT 10 OR 15 YEARS, WHEN

THE SUNSET CLAUSE COMES

INTO EFFECT, AND

EVERYTHING WILL BE LIFTED,

AND THEN THEY WILL BE IN A

MUCH BETTER POSITION TO

MOVE TOWARDS A NUCLEAR

WEAPONS CAPABILITY.

Chris: WHILE ISIS HAS

SEIZED THE HEADLINES IN

THE WEST, THEY BELIEVE

IRAN REMAINS THE FAR

GREATER DANGER.

A COUNTRY THAT CAN

DEVELOP INTERCONTINENTAL

BALLISTIC CAPABILITIES

THAT COULD, MAYBE WITHIN

10 YEARS, EVEN, REACH THE

UNITED STATES, OBVIOUSLY

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A

DIFFERENT ORDER OF

MAGNITUDE.

NO COMPARISON AT ALL.

THE THREAT FROM THE

IRANIAN REGIME, ESPECIALLY

WITH REGARDS TO THEIR

NUCLEAR CAPABILITIES.

Chris: CHRIS

MITCHELL, CBN NEWS.

Pat: DOESN'T THAT

CHILL YOU TO THINK THAT

BEN RHODES ACKNOWLEDGED IN

THE "NEW YORK TIMES," THAT

THEY WERE TRYING TO

DECEIVE THE AMERICAN

PUBLIC AND USE THE PRESS

TO SELL THEIR MESSAGE.

WHY?

WHY DOES THE PRESIDENT

WANT TO COZY UP TO OUR

ENEMIES AND STIFF OUR

ALLIES?

THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED.

HE TURNED HIS BACK ON

ISRAEL.

HE TURNED HIS BACK ON

SAUDI ARABIA.

HE TURNED HIS BACK ON

JORDAN.

HE TURNED HIS BACK ON

EGYPT, THOSE WHO WOULD BE

OUR FRIENDS.

AND HE EMBRACES CUBA AND

EMBRACES IRAN.

WAS IT?

IS THERE SOMETHING THERE

WE DON'T SEE?

BUT IT CERTAINLY IS ON THE

SURFACE.

IT IS VERY DISTURBING.

AND YOU TALK ABOUT THIS

ELECTION COMING UP, THIS

IS MAJOR, MAJOR PROBLEMS.

AND THEY MENTIONED ALSO

THE E.M.P., IF YOU HEARD

OUR GUEST YESTERDAY,

WARNING ABOUT THE DANGER

OF AN ELECTRONIC MAGNETIC

PULSE THAT COULD BE

TRIGGERED BY JUST A SMALL,

LOW-YIELD NUCLEAR DEVICE

EXPLODED IN THE AIR IN

AMERICA.

SOMEBODY DID SOMETHING

LIKE THAT YESTERDAY, OR

TODAY, NORTH KOREA.

LET'S GO TO A REPORT FROM

JOHN ABOUT WHAT THEY'RE

DOING.

John: NORTH KOREA

LAUNCHED TWO BALLISTIC

MISSILES TODAY, ONE OF

WHICH FLEW ROUGHLY

620 MILES, ONE OF THE

LONGEST FLIGHTS BY A

MISSILE.

ONE OF THE MISSILES

EXPLODED IMMEDIATELY AFTER

LAUNCH, WHILE THE SECOND

WAS TRACKED OVER NORTH

KOREA AND INTO THE SEA OF

JAPAN.

OFFICIALS IN PYEONGCHANG

SAY THEY HAVE SEEN

TECHNICAL BREAKTHROUGHS

THAT WOULD ENABLE THE

COUNTRY TO DEVELOP A

LONG-RANGE MISSILE CAPABLE

OF REACHING THE UNITED

STATES.

THE NORTH DOESN'T YET HAVE

SUCH A WEAPON, BUT SOME

CIVILIAN EXPERTS BELIEVE

THAT NORTH KOREA HAS THE

TECHNOLOGY TO MOUNT

WARHEADS ON SHORTER RANGE

NATIONS, LIKE SOUTH KOREA

AND JAPAN.

> IF YOU WANT TO KEEP

YOUR MEMORY IN BETTER

SHAPE AS YOU GET OLDER,

TRY EXERCISE.

RESEARCHERS HAVE

DISCOVERED PHYSICAL

ACTIVITY CAN AFFECT THE

PART OF THE BRAIN THAT

CONTROLS SHORT-TERM

MEMORY.

AND THEY FOUND THE

BENEFICIAL EFFECTS OF

PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AGAINST

DEMENTIA WAS STRONGER IN

PEOPLE AGED 75 AND OLDER.

THE BOTTOM LINE, PAT: IT

IS NEVER TOO OLD TO

EXERCISE TO KEEP YOUR

BRAIN HEALTHY.

Pat: I LIKE TO RIDE

HORSES.

I HOPE THE BRAINS OF MY

HIPOCAMUS OF MY HORSE SO

HE IS GETTING SMARTER.

Wendy: NO.

IT'S SUPPOSED TO HELP YOUR

HIPOCAMPUS.

Pat: YOU MUST HAVE A

HUGE HIPOCAMPUS BECAUSE

YOU'RE EXERCISING ALL OF

THE TIME.

Wendy: I LOVE TO WORK

OUT.

I GET THE BLUES WHEN I

DON'T WORK OUT.

EVEN AT WORK, I DON'T TAKE

AN ELEVATOR.

UNLESS I HAVE A

SUITCASE -- EVEN IF I HAVE

A LOT OF STUFF, I WILL

STILL TAKE THE STAIRS TO

PROVE I CAN TAKE THE

STAIRS.

Pat: I FEEL GUILTY IF

I DON'T WORK OUT.

I DON'T DO A WHOLE LOT,

BUT I DO ENOUGH TO KEEP

GOING.

WHAT'S NEXT?

Wendy: COMING UP, HOW

ONE STATE IS TRYING TO

PRESSURE CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS

TO CHANGE THEIR BELIEFS OR

ELSE.

THIS LEGISLATION WOULD

FORCE THESE SCHOOLS TO

CHOOSE BETWEEN CONTINUING

TO PARTICIPATE IN STATE

STUDENT AID PROGRAMS AND

MAINTAINING THEIR

IDENTITY.

Wendy: SEE HOW SOME

SCHOOLS OF STUDENTS ARE

FIGHTING BACK, NEXT.

Pat: THE THING ABOUT

CHRISTIANS, I THINK PEOPLE

NEED TO UNDERSTAND IS, WE

WANT FREEDOM.

WE DON'T WANT TO IMPOSE

VIEWS ON PEOPLE.

WE JUST WANT TO BE LEFT

ALONE.

WE WANT FREEDOM.

THE QUESTION IS PERSUADING

PEOPLE BY REASON, BY THE

ANOINTING OF THE HOLY

SPIRIT, TO EXCEPT TH ACCEPT THE LORD

AS SAVIOR, BUT NOT UNDER

COMPULSION.

BUT THE LIBERALS DON'T

LIKE IT THAT WAY.

THEY WANT TO FORCE YOU TO

BELIEVE THE WAY THEY

BELIEVE.

IF YOU WILL NOT DO IT,

THEY ARE GOING TO COMPEL

YOU BY THE POWER OF THE

STATE.

THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE.

AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT

YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND.

THEY SAY CHRISTIANS WANT

TO IMPOSE THEIR VIEWS ON

EVERYBODY.

THEY DON'T WANT TO IMPOSE

ANYTHING.

BUT OF THE LEFT DO.

IN CALIFORNIA, THEY'RE

SAYING YOU'VE GOT YOUR

LITTLE COLLEGES AND YOU'RE

TRYING TO TEACH PEOPLE A

PARTICULAR LIFESTYLE.

WE DON'T LIKE THAT

LIFESTYLE.

WE DON'T WANT TO HAVE IT

IN CALIFORNIA.

WE'RE GOING TO ERADICATE

IT.

A BILL ON A FINAL

CONSIDERATION WOULD FORCE

CHRISTIAN COLLEGES TO

EITHER GIVE UP THEIR

BELIEFS ON BIBLICAL

TEACHINGS OF SEXUALITY, OR

THEY WOULD LOSE STATE

FUNDING.

THE BILL'S SPONSORS SAY

THIS WOULD PROTECT

STUDENTS FROM

DISCRIMINATION.

NONSENSE.

IT WOULD FORCE THEM TO DO

WHAT THE LEFT WANTS.

AND THAT'S ALWAYS THE WAY

IT HAS BEEN.

LET'S LOOK AT THIS.

HEATHER SELLS HAS THIS

STORY.

Heather: MARGARITA

RAMEREZ WAS ABLE TO

GRADUATE FROM PACIFIC

UNIVERSITY THANKS TO A

GENEROUS SCHOLARSHIP AND

STATE FINANCIAL AID.

BUT A NEW BILL COULD

PREVENT STUDENTS LIKE HER

FROM USING THOSE GRANTS TO

ATTEND SCHOOLS WITH

BIBLICAL VIEWS ON

SEXUALITY AND GENDER.

IT IS PRECISELY

STUDENTS LIKE MYSELF WHO

ARE GOING TO MISS OUT.

THIS BILL ISN'T TAKING

AWAY MONEY FROM THE

SCHOOLS.

IT IS TAKING AWAY MONEY

FROM STUDENTS.

Heather: TENS OF

THOUSANDS OF STUDENTS

ATTEND CHRISTIAN COLLEGES

IN CALIFORNIA, AND LIKE

HER, MANY RECEIVE CAL

GRANTS.

AS MANY AS ONE IN THREE OF

THEIR STUDENTS RECEIVE

THIS AID, WHICH CAN

PROVIDE AS MUCH AS $10,000

A YEAR TO STUDENTS FROM

LOW-INCOME FAMILIES.

IT IS A SUBSTANTIAL

PART OF OUR BUDGET.

AND WE THINK IT COULD

AFFECT US IN A VERY

NEGATIVE WAY.

Heather: A VOCAL

CRITIC OF THE BILL,

DR. JOHN JACKSON, IS

PRESIDENT OF WILLIAM JES

JESSUP UNIVERSITY, A

CHRISTIAN COLLEGE JUST

OUTSIDE OF SACRAMENTO.

IF THIS STUDENT BECOMES

LAW, A STUDENT MAY NOT BE

ABLE TO BRING THAT AID TO

WILLIAMS JESSUP UNIVERSITY

UNLESS WE CHANGE OUR VIEWS

ON SEXUAL ORIENTATION AND

GENDER.

WE JUST THINK THAT GENDER

MATTERS AND SEXUALITY

MATTERS AND MARRIAGE

MATTERS.

Heather: THE BILL'S

SPONSOR SAYS HIS PRIORITY

IS LGBTQ STUDENTS' SAFETY.

THE GOVERNMENT DECIDED

TITLE NINE WOULD INCLUDE

SEXUAL ORIENTATION AND

GENDER IDENTITY, AND LARRA

BELIEVES THAT SCHOOLS THAT

REQUEST A RELIGIOUS

EXEMPTION NOW HAVE

PERSECUTION TO

DISCRIMINATE.

OTHER SCHOOLS, HE SAYS,

HAVE DENIED, QUOTE,"GENDER

APPROPRIATE HOUSING" TO

TRANSGENDER STUDENTS.

SHIRLEY HOOGSTRA,

PRESIDENT FOR THE

CHRISTIAN COLLEGES AND

UNIVERSITIES, SAY THE

BILL'S SPONSORS DON'T HAVE

A CASE.

NEVER DID THEY GO TO

THE CHRISTIAN COLLEGE

CAMPUSES AND ACTUALLY ASK

FOR FACTS.

THEY PRESUMED THAT PEOPLE

ARE EITHER EXPELLED OR

DENIED ADMISSION, WHICH IS

UNTRUE.

Reporter: SHE SAYS

WHILE CHRISTIAN COLLEGES

WANT TO WORTH WITH THESE

STUDENTS, THE SCHOOLS MUST

ALSO MAINTAIN THEIR

RELIGIOUS CONVICTIONS, AND

SHE TAKES ISSUE WITH PARTS

OF THE BILL THAT WOULD

PREVENT FAITH-BASED

INSTITUTIONS FROM USING

RELIGIOUS BELIEFS AS

CRITERIA IN ADMISSIONS AND

HIRING.

IF YOU CAN'T HIRE THE

PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING TO

TEACH AND A --

Heather: HE SAYS THE

BILL THREATENS TO UNDO THE

CORE VALUES.

AT THE END OF THE DAY,

IT WOULD FORCE THESE

SCHOOLS TO CHOOSE BETWEEN

CONTINUING TO PARTICIPATE

IN STATE STUDENT AID

PROGRAMS AND MAINTAINING

THEIR RELIGIOUS IDENTITY.

Heather: IF THE BILL

PASSES THIS MONTH AND THE

GOVERNOR SIGNS IT,

LAWSUITS ARE LIKELY THAT

COULD EASILY END UP AT THE

SUPREME COURT.

AT STAKE, CONSTITUTIONAL

PRINCIPLES LIKE FREEDOM OF

RELIGION AND FREEDOM OF

ASSOCIATION.

THIS BILL COULD ALSO MEAN

A LOSS OF CHOICE FOR

LOW-INCOME STUDENTS,

UNABLE TO AFFORD TO ATTEND

A CHRISTIAN COLLEGE

WITHOUT STATE AID.

SOME IN THE STATE

LEGISLATURE HAVE

APPARENTLY NOT UNDERSTOOD

THE PUBLIC GOOD.

TENS OF THOUSANDS OF

STUDENTS THAT WE EDUCATE,

MANY WHO ARE FIRST

GENERATION COLLEGE

STUDENTS, MANY STUDENTS OF

COLOR --

Heather: FOR NOW THE

CALIFORNIA'S CHRISTIAN

COMMUNITY HOPES TO

LEGISLATE STAY LAWMAKERS

ABOUT THE MISSION OF

FAITH-BASED EDUCATION, AND

KEEPING THEIR UNIQUE WORLD

VIEW WILL HELP MAKE

CALIFORNIA TRULY DIVERSE.

HEATHER SELLS, CBN NEWS.

Pat: IT IS AMAZING.

THE THING ABOUT CALIFORNIA

IS THEY HAVE SOME WAY-OUT

STUFF THAT THEY DO, BUT,

NEVERTHELESS, THE NATION

NORMALLY FOLLOWS

CALIFORNIA'S LEAD.

IT MAY TAKE A FEW YEARS,

BUT THEY'LL DO IT.

YOU MAY WONDER AND DON'T

THINK THIS IS NECESSARILY

A GOOD THING.

A FEW YEARS AGO, THE IDEA

OF TRANSGENDER WAS SORT OF

WAY OUT.

IT IS JUST A TINY, TINY

FRACTION OF THE PEOPLE WHO

HAVE SOME KIND OF A SEX

CHANGE OPERATION, WHERE

THEY GO FROM MALE TO

FEMALE OR FEMALE TO MALE.

AND I'VE SAID IN THE PAST

THAT I DIDN'T THINK THAT

THERE WAS ANYTHING

PARTICULARLY UNCHRISTIAN

ABOUT DOING THAT, IF,

INDEED, A PERSON FEELS

THEY'RE TRAPPED IN THE

BODY THAT IS THE WRONG SEX

FOR THEM.

BUT THIS WHOLE THING IS

JUST NONSENSE.

IT HAS BECOME A BIG CIVIL

RIGHTS ISSUE, AS TO WHAT

BATHROOMS YOU USE.

THIS IS CRAZY.

FOR A NATION LIKE THE

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

TO BE SPENDING ITS TIME

WORRYING ABOUT WHO USES

WHICH BATHROOM, IT IS JUST

NUTS.

AND THE PEOPLE WHO

ACTUALLY ARE HAVING A

SINCERE SEX CHANGE

OPERATION, I SAY TO YOU

GUYS, OKAY.

YOU'RE A MALE, YOU WANT TO

BE A FEMALE.

YOU GET THOSE BODY PARTS

CUT OFF AND YOU COME AND

TALK TO ME.

AND IF YOU'RE REALLY

SINCERE, ALL RIGHT, GO FOR

IT.

BUT DON'T JUST SAY YOU'RE

GOING TO CONTINUE TO BE A

MALE AND LOOK LIKE ONE,

BUT YOU WANT TO GO INTO

GIRLS' BATHROOMS.

NO WAY.

AND THAT'S THE ISSUE.

AND THERE IS A BIG FURY

ABOUT THIS.

I CAN MATC IMAGINE THE NBA

REFUSING TO HAVE A

TOURNAMENT IN NORTH

CAROLINA BECAUSE NORTH

CAROLINA WON'T HAVE

SEPARATE BATHROOMS FOR

TRANSGENDERS.

CAN YOU BELIEVE THE

NATIONAL BASKETBALL

ASSOCIATION IS TIED INTO

SOMETHING LIKE THAT?

BUT THEY ARE.

AND YOU THINK, WHO ARE YOU

KIDDING?

WHAT KIND OF A CIVIL

RIGHTS ISSUE IS THIS?

BUT THEY MADE IT UP.

IT IS A MANUFACTURED

SLIGHT, AND THEY WANT TO

DO ANYTHING TO GET ON TO

THE FRONT PAGE AND TO GET

SOME MONEY AND TO FORCE

SOMEBODY TO DO SOMETHING

ELSE.

Wendy: IT IS

COMPLETELY VOID OF COMMON

SENSE.

IF YOU HAVE BOY PARTS, YOU

GO TO THE MEN'S ROOM.

IF YOU HAVE GIRL PARTS,

YOU GO TO THE LADIES'

ROOM.

> LET'S GO ON TO

SOMETHING MORE IMPORTANT

ABOUT FIGHTING TERRORISM.

Pat: THAT'S WHAT THE

PEOPLE OF NORTH CAROLINA

SAYS, BUT THE NBA SAYS NO.

Wendy: ALL RIGHT.

UP NEXT, A MAN WITH NO

ARMS OR LEGS SETS OUT ON A

MISSION TO CLIMB THE

HIGHEST MOUNTAIN IN

AFRICA.

THEY SAY, ARE YOU

CRAZY.

HOW ARE YOU GOING TO DO

KILIMANJARO?

I GO, I DON'T KNOW, BUT

WE'LL FIGURE IT OUT.

Wendy: YOU'LL SEE HOW

HE DID IT WHEN WE RETURN.

Wendy: YOU'RE ABOUT

TO MEET A MAN WHO LIVES BY

THE MOTTO "NO EXCUSES,"

EVEN THOUGH HE COULD MAKE

PLENTY OF THEM.

HIS NAME IS KYLE MAYNARD,

AND HE WAS BORN WITH NO

ARMS AND NO LEGS.

HE HAS NEVER BEEN ONE TO

BACK DOWN FROM A

CHALLENGE, AND THAT

ATTITUDE PROPELLED HIM ALL

THE WAY TO THE TOP OF

MOUNT KILIMANJARO.

WE HAVE THIS INSPIRING

STORY.

Reporter: KYLE

MAYNARD IS TOUGH, REAL

TOUGH.

HE IS A CHAMPION WRESTLER.

HE STUDIED BRAZILIAN JEW

JUJITZU, AND EVERY DAY HE

CONQUERS THE IMPOSSIBLE.

EMERSON SAID, DO NOT GO

WHERE THE PACK MAY LEAD,

GO INSTEAD WHERE THERE IS

NO PATH AND LEAVE A TRAIL.

Reporter: KYLE BEGAN

LEAVING A TRAIL THE MOMENT

HE ENTERED THE WORLD.

HE WAS BORN WITHOUT ARMS

AND LEGS.

MY PARENTS, THEY HAD A

NORMAL PREGNANCY.

THEY WENT AND SAW THE

ULTRASOUNDS, AND THE

DOCTOR SAID THERE WAS

NOTHING OUT OF THE

ORDINARY.

SO THEY HAD NO IDEA THAT

ANYTHING WAS GOING TO

HAPPEN, THAT I WOULD BE

BORN DIFFERENT.

Reporter: NORMALLY

CONGENITAL AMPUTATION

NORMALLY AFFECTS A FINGER

OR A TOE.

IN THIS CASE, KYLE WAS

LEFT WITH NO LIMBS.

HIS PARENTS WERE LEFT WITH

QUESTIONS ON HOW TO RAISE

THEIR CHILD.

WHAT REALLY BLOWS ME

AWAY IS THE DECISIONS MY

MOM AND DAD HAD TO MAKE,

AND THEY WERE SUPER YOUNG.

MY MOM WAS THE SUPER

NURTURING TYPE AND DIDN'T

WANT TO SEE ME STRUGGLE.

MY DAD REALIZED BY HELPING

ME DO EVERYTHING WASN'T

MAYBE THE BEST SOLUTION TO

THE PROBLEM.

SAY IN LEARNING HOW TO

EAT -- HE HAS TO FIGURE

OUT HOW TO EAT ON HIS OWN

OR STARVE.

Reporter: AS YOU CAN

IMAGINE, IT WASN'T EASY,

BUT KYLE LEARNED THE

BASICS.

AND SOON HE WASN'T JUST

ABLE TO DO THE THINGS

OTHERS COULD DO, HE WAS

DOING THEM BETTER.

MY MOM TELLS THE STORY

ABOUT WHEN I GOT IN THE

CLOSET AND RIPPED ALL OF

THE CLOTHES OFF THE RACK.

SHE WAS PARTIALLY TICKED

OFF, BUT ALSO, COOL, YOU

DID THAT.

Reporter: BY THE TIME

HE REACHED MIDDLE SCHOOL,

KYLE WANTED TO TAKE IT UP

A NOTCH.

ONE DAY HE TOLD HIS MOM HE

WANTED TO GO OUT FOR THE

FOOTBALL TEAM.

HIS MOM CALLED THE COACH,

AND THE COACH SAID SURE.

I WAS THE NOSE GUARD.

I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO

BE THE QUARTER BACK, BUT

THAT IS A WHOLE OTHER

STORY.

I REMEMBER THE VERY FIRST

FOOTBALL GAME I PLAYED IN,

AND ONE OF THE FIRST PLAYS

THEY RAN WAS COMING RIGHT

UP THE MIDDLE.

MY WAY TO TACKLE PEOPLE

WAS TAKING MY HELMET AND

SMASHING IT INTO THEIR

LEGS AS HARD AS I COULD.

IN THAT MOMENT, I HAD

FOUND AN 11-YEAR-OLD'S

VERSION OF PURPOSE IN

LIFE.

Reporter: AT THE

TIME, KYLE WAS JUST A

FIFTH GRADE KID WHO HAD TO

WORK TWICE AS HARD TO GET

HALF AS FAR.

HIS PARENTS, WHO WERE

CHRISTIANS, HAD ASSURED

HIM THERE WAS A GRAND PLAN

FOR HIS LIFE.

NOW, KYLE UNDERSTOOD.

HIS GOAL: SEE THE

IMPOSSIBLE, BEAT THE

IMPOSSIBLE.

I DEFINITELY WAS AT A

PRETTY BIG DEPTH OF

DISPAIR AT 10 YEARS OLD,

AND HAD A LOT OF FEAR OF

WHAT THE FUTURE WAS GOING

TO BE.

I WAS AT A POINT WHERE I

LOST A LOT OF HOPE.

I DIDN'T SEE REASON EVEN

TO GO ON.

I REALLY THINK THAT MAKING

MY FIRST TACKLE IN

FOOTBALL MIGHT HAVE BEEN

WHAT NEARLY SAVED MY LIFE.

Reporter: THAT MOMENT

FUELED A COMPETITIVE

NATURE INSIDE KYLE.

SO AFTER FOOTBALL, HE TOOK

UP WRESTLING.

AND SOON HE WAS WINNING

MANAGESMANAGES, AND IT WASN'T

LONG BEFORE HE BECAME A

MEDIA SENSATION.

HE WROTE A BOOK CALLED "NO

EXCUSES."

HE ALSO BECAME A POPULAR

MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER, AND

MADE DOZENS OF TV

APPEARANCES.

HE IS ONE OF THE MOST

INSPIRING YOUNG MEN YOU

WILL EVER HEAR ABOUT.

Pat: HE IS STRONG,

TOO, I MIGHT ADD.

Reporter: KYLE

MAYNARD IS TOUGH.

HE HAS TO BE.

HE HAS NO ARMS OR LEGS,

BUT HE MAKES UP FOR THAT

WITH AN INDOMITABLE

SPIRIT, ONE BUOYED BY HIS

FAITH IN CHRIST.

PART OF CHRIST'S

MESSAGE WAS TEACHING US SO

WE CAN GO AND DO WAY MORE

THAN WE THINK WE CAN.

TELL A MOUNTAIN TO MOVE

FROM HERE TO HERE, AND

WE'LL DO IT, RIGHT?

LIKE, WHAT IF THAT'S THE

LITERAL TRUTH AND WE'RE

SORT OF, LIKE, THAT'S JUST

A SAYING.

WE'RE SO QUICK TO DISMISS

THE FACT WE'RE ABLE TO GO

AND DO THESE AMAZING

THINGS.

Reporter: NORMALLY

THIS IS WHERE A STORY

ENDS: YOU HAVE YOUR HERO

FACE THE GREAT OBSTACLE,

OVER COMES IT, AND LIVES

HAPPILY EVER AFTER.

BUT IN KYLE'S CASE, THIS

IS WHERE HIS STORY REALLY

BEGINS.

MY MESSAGE IS A PRETTY

SIMPLE ONE.

Reporter: AFTER HIGH

SCHOOL, KYLE WENT ON THE

SPEAKING CIRCUIT.

BUT BEFORE LONG, KYLE

CONSIDERED DOING SOMETHING

HE HAD NEVER REALLY DONE

BEFORE.

QUIT.

I PUT ON, LIKE, 25,

30 POUNDS.

IT WAS THIS PERIOD OF TIME

WHERE I WAS FLAT.

PEOPLE WOULD SAY TO ME

AFTER A SPEECH THAT MY

STORY WAS INSPIRING, AND I

KNOW THEIR INTENT WAS IT

WOULD MAKE ME FEEL GOOD,

BUT A LOT OF TIMES IT

DIDN'T.

A LOT OF TIMES IT JUST

MADE ME FEEL DIFFERENT.

Reporter: DURING THIS

TIME, KYLE CAME UP WITH A

NICKNAME FOR HIMSELF: THE

DEPRESSED MOTIVATIONAL

SPEAKER.

I WAS TRAVELLING ALONG,

AND IN A HOTEL ROOM ALL BY

MYSELF.

I WAS SPEAKING TO SENATORS

AND PRESIDENTS, AND IT

WAS, LIKE, WHO AM I TO GO

IN AND TELL YOU GUYS HOW

TO RUN YOUR BUSINESS.

IT WAS CRAZY.

I DID NOT FEEL AUTHENTIC

WITH THE MESSAGE I WAS

SHARING.

I DIDN'T FEEL LIKE I WAS

ACTUALLY LIVING THE

MESSAGE I WAS TALKING

ABOUT.

Reporter: AND THEN A

TURNING POINT.

A CHANCE MEETING AT AN

AIRPORT WITH TWO SOLDIERS

WHO SAID THEY SAW KYLE ON

TV AND WERE INSPIRED BY

HIS LIFE.

I THINK THAT MADE A

HUGE DIFFERENCE IN

LEARNING TO ACCEPT THAT

AND EMBRACE IT.

AND WANTING THAT ANYTHING

I DO, PUT MY FEET IN AND

BE THE BEST I CAN BE.

I THINK THAT WAS A BIG

GAME-CHANGER FOR ME.

Reporter: IN 2011,

KYLE MET A GOLD-STAR

MOTHER.

HER SON, CORY JOHNSON, HAD

BEEN KILLED IN AFGHANISTAN

EARLIER THAT YEAR.

SHE TOLD KYLE THAT HER SON

HAD ALWAYS WANTED TO

TRAVEL AND SEE

MT. KILIMANJARO.

AND SOON KYLE HAD A NEW

CHALLENGE.

I TOLD MY FRIEND THAT

NIGHT I'M GOING TO CLIMB

MT. KILIMANJARO.

AND SHE WAS LIKE, YOU'RE

CRAZY.

HOW ARE YOU GOING TO DO

THAT?

AND I TOLD HER, I DON'T

KNOW, BUT WE'LL FIGURE IT

OUT.

KILIMANJARO HAS BEEN

CALL THE HOUSE OF GOD.

IT IS SO HIGH THAT

CLIMBERS WILL PASS THROUGH

FIVE ECOLOGICAL EXPWOANS ZONES

BEFORE GETTING TO THE

SUMMIT.

IT IS A TAXING CLIMB FOR

ANYONE, BUT KYLE WOULDN'T

BACK DOWN.

I'VE GOT SOME REALLY

AMAZING PEOPLE IN MY LIFE

THAT I'VE BEEN SO

FORTUNATE TO HAVE.

INSTEAD OF THEM TELLING

ME, YOU'RE CRAZY, YOU'RE

NOT GOING TO DO IT.

AND MOST OF THEM ARE,

LIKE, THAT'S COOL.

HOW CAN I HELP?

I HAVE FRIENDS WHO MADE MY

GEAR OUT OF DUCT TAPE.

I COULDN'T JUST GO TO THE

HIKING STORE AND GET A

PAIR OF HIKING SHOES.

WE HAD TO COME UP WITH A

WHOLE NEW SYSTEM.

Reporter: NOW, THERE

WERE RISKS TO THE CLIMB.

THE HIGHER YOU GO, THE

LESS OXYGEN THERE IS TO

BREATHE.

THE GREATER THE RISK FOR

FROSTBITE, NOT TO MENTION

THE DUST OR THE ROCKS.

HE WAS GOING TO DEAL WITH

THIS CRAWLING EVERY INCH

OF THE WAY.

NOBODY TOLD ME I

SHOULDN'T BEAR CRAWL ON MY

ELBOWS AND KNEES FOR THREE

HOURS BEFORE I WENT.

MY SHOULDERS AND HIPS AND

BACK WERE SHOT.

THERE WAS THIS TOTAL

DICHOTOMY GOING ON.

WHY AM I HERE?

WHY AM I DOING THIS?

AND THERE WERE MOMENTS OF,

LIKE, WOW, THIS IS REALLY

COOL.

AND CONNECTING TO THE

REASON OF WHY I WAS THERE

IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Reporter: AFTER A

GRUELING JOURNEY, KYLE WAS

NEAR THE TOP.

BUT THE IMPORTANT THING

WASN'T JUST HOW CLOSE HE

WAS TO THE SUMMIT.

IT WAS HOW FAR HE HAD

ALREADY COME.

I'M SITTING ON ISIS AND

I'ICE ANDI'M LOOKING BACK.

THE TRAIL WENT ON AND ON

AND ON FOREVER, OUT OF

SIGHT.

IT WAS AMAZING.

Reporter: HEMMINGWAY

ONCE WROTE, "ALL WE COULD

SEE WAS THE SQUARE TOP OF

KILIMANJARO, AND THEN HE

KNEW THAT THERE WAS WHERE

HE WAS GOING."

KYLE WAS THERE, 19,000

FEET IN THE AIR, AS THE

FIRST QUADRUPLE AMPUTEE TO

SUMMIT THE MOUNTAIN.

AND ONCE AGAIN HE BEAT THE

IMPOSSIBLE.

I HELD IT TOGETHER AT

THE TOP, UNTIL I CALLED MY

MOM.

AND SHE STARTED CRYING.

AND I JUST BROKE.

AND I STARTED CRYING AFTER

THAT, TOO.

AND A COUPLE MOMENTS AFTER

THAT, I GOT TO PAY TRIBUTE

TO A FALLEN SOLDIER.

AND IN THOSE REALLY TOUGH

MOMENTS WHEN I WAS FEELING

SORRY FOR MYSELF AND READY

TO QUIT, I WAS THINKING,

MAN, HE NEVER GOT A CHANCE

TO BE HERE AND CLIMB THIS

MOUNTAIN AND IT KEPT ME

GOING.

IT WAS THE GREATEST HONOR

IN MY LIFE.

Reporter: KYLE

RETURNED HOME AND EARNED

AN ESPY AWARD FOR HIS

EFFORTS.

HE ALSO CAME BACK WITH A

DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE.

AND NOW HE IS NOT JUST

WORKING TO CONQUER THE

IMPOSSIBLE; HE IS HELPING

OTHERS TO DO THE SAME.

I'VE LEARNED WHATEVER

GIFTS WE'VE BEEN GIVEN,

WE'VE GOT TO SHARE IT.

AND SOMETIMES THAT MEANS

DOING THINGS THAT ARE

UNCOMFORTABLE, THAT EVER

FIBER IN YOUR BODY DOESN'T

WANT YOU TO DO.

WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, I

WOULD PRAY THAT I WOULD

WAKE UP AND HAVE ARMS AND

LEGS.

AND NOW I THINK THOSE

PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED

IN A FORM I NEVER THOUGHT.

IT COMES WITH THE LEARNING

THAT I HAVE.

NOW THERE IS NOTHING IN

THE WORLD YOU COULD OFFER

ME TO HAVE ME LIVE MY LIFE

DIFFERENTLY.

I FEEL LIKE IT IS THE

BIGGEST BLESSING I HAVE

EVER RECEIVED.

Pat: WENDY, DO YOU

FEEL NO NOSTALGIC ABOUT

KILIMANJARO?

Wendy: IT WAS THE

HARDEST THING I EVER DID

WITH LEGS AND ARMS.

WITH ALL OF THE DIFFERENT

TEMPERATURE EXTREMES.

HE DID IT WITH NO LEGS AND

ARMS.

THAT IS AN INCREDIBLE

FEAT.

Pat: DID YOU FEEL

LIKE QUITTING ALONG THE

WAY?

Wendy: WELL, I HAD A

TERRIBLE MIGRAINE ON THE

THIRD DAY, AND I FELT LIKE

THE HOLY SPIRIT TOLD ME

THIS WOULD BE MY HARDEST

DA DAY.

DAY.

AND ON THE FIFTH DAY, I

TOLD MY GUIDE, MOODY, I

WANTED TO TURN AROUND

BECAUSE I SAW PEOPLE

COMING DOWN THE MOUNTAIN

WITH OXYGEN MASKS.

AND I GOT PARALYZED WITH

FEAR.

Pat: YOU WEREN'T

USING OXYGEN?

Wendy: NO.

WE HAD IT IN CASE OF

EMERGENCY.

YOU CAN DO IT WITHOUT.

THESE PEOPLE WERE COMING

DOWN AND I LITERALLY FROZE

IN FEAR.

AND MY GUIDE LOOKED AT ME,

AND HE SAID, THIS IS THE

PLACE MOST PEOPLE TURN

BACK.

AND AS SOON AS HE SAID

THAT, SOMETHING IN ME

KICKED IN.

LIKE KYLE, I THOUGHT, I

CAN DO THIS.

I LOVE HIS BOOK TITLE, "NO

EXCUSES."

IT'S A GREAT FEELING OF

ACCOMPLISHMENT TO GET TO

THE TOP.

DO I WANT TO DO IT AGAIN?

KIND OF.

Pat: YOU'RE LOOKING

FOR ANOTHER MOUNTAIN TO

CLIMB.

Wendy: I'M LOOKING

FOR ANOTHER MOUNTAIN RIGHT

NOW.

Pat: YOU WERE TALKING

ABOUT THE KNOWLEDGE --

Wendy: WHAT ABOUT

EVEREST BASE CAMP?

Pat: YOU GET SOME

GOOD SURFERS AND YOU CAN

HANDLE THAT ONE.

Wendy: FROM EVERETT

SPACE CAMP, YOU CAN SEE

EVERYTHING.

THAT WAS INTERESTING ABOUT

KILIMANJARO, IT IS A

GORGEOUS MOUNTAIN, BUT

ONCE YOU GET TO THE PEAK,

THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE.

IT'S LIKE, LET'S GET DOWN.

Pat: REALLY?

Wendy: IT IS ABOUT

THE JOURNEY.

IT REALLY IS.

THEN YOU WANT TO GET BACK

DOWN AND GET BACK DOWN TO

CIVILIZATION.

Pat: YOU HAVE MADE

IT, HONEY.

I'M PROUD OF YOU.

> WHAT'S NEXT?

Wendy: I'VE JUST GOT

TO THANK YOU, BECAUSE YOU

ALWAYS ENCOURAGED ME TO GO

FOR IT.

> STILL AHEAD, A MAN WHO

WAS HEMORRHAGING MASSIVE

AMOUNTS OF BLOOD.

IT WAS A HUGE ULCER.

THERE WAS A BLOOD VESSEL

IN THE MIDDLE OF IT, JUST

PUMPING BLOOD.

THIS GUY WAS LITERALLY

DYING IN FRONT OF OUR

EYES, AND WE HAD TO DO

SOMETHING TO SAVE HIS

LIFE.

Wendy: HEAR HOW A

SCRIPTURE HELPED TO SAVE

THIS MAN'S LIFE, COMING

UP.

Efrem: WELCOME BACK

TO WASHINGTON FOR THIS CBN

NEWSBREAK.

THE SATANIC TEMPLE WANTS

TO START AFTER-SCHOOL THE

SATAN CLUBS IN ELEMENTARY

SCHOOLS.

THE GOAL: TO PUSH BACK

AGAINST CHRISTIAN CLUBS.

THEY PLAN TO TARGET

SCHOOLS WHERE THEY HOST AN

AFTER SCHOOL CHRISTIAN

PROGRAM CALLED "THE GOOD

NEWS CLUB."

HE SAID, WHILE THE GOOD

NEWS CLUBS FOCUS ON

INDOCTRINATION, INSTILLING

CHILDREN WITH A FEAR OF

HELL AND GOD'S WRATH, THE

SATAN CLUBS WILL FOCUS ON

INDIVIDUALALITY AND

WRATHISM."

> PROTESTORS FROM AROUND

THE COUNTRY DEMONSTRATED

AT THE WHITE HOUSE ON

TUESDAY TO RAISE AWARENESS

OF THE ONGOING BRUTAL

ATTACKS ON EGYPT'S COPTIC

CHRISTIANS.

THE ATTACKS HAVE

INTENSIFIED IN THE LAST

FEW MONTHS.

CHURCHES ARE BEING BURNED

TO THE GROUNDS, WOMEN ARE

BEING SEXUALLY ASSAULTED,

AND PRIESTS AND THEIR

FAMILIES HAVE BEEN

TARGETED AND KILLED

BECAUSE OF THEIR RELIGIOUS

BELIEFS.

THERE ARE REPORTS THAT

COPTIC WOMEN ABDUCTED HAVE

BEEN FORCED TO CONVERTING

TO ISLAM AND MARRIED OFF

TO JIHADISTS.

> WELL, YOU CAN ALWAYS

GET THE LATEST FROM CBN

NEWS BY GOING TO OUR

WEBSITE AT cbnnews.com.

> PAT AND WENDY WILL BE

BACK WITH MORE OF "THE 700

CLUB" RIGHT AFTER THIS.

Pat: RAT POISON.

RAT POISON, THE WAY WE

KILL RATS, IS WE GIVE THEM

COUMADIN, AND THAT CAUSES

THE INSIDE TO SWELL, THE

BLOOD TO FLOW, AND THEN

THEY BURST AND DIE.

THAT'S RAT POISON.

WELL, COUMADIN IS A

POPULAR BLOOD THINNER THAT

DOCTORS PRESCRIBE FOR

PEOPLE WHO HAVE ATRIAL

FIBULATION AND DANGER OF

STROKE, ETC.

FRANKLIN BRADFORD'S DOCTOR

REFERS TO HIM AS THE MAN

WITH NINE LIVES.

THAT'S BECAUSE FRANKLIN

CAME CLOSE TO DEATH

MULTIPLE TIMES.

AT HIS LOWEST POINT, HIS

SON WAS PRAYING

DESPERATELY FOR HIS

HEALING, AND THAT'S WHEN A

VOICE TOLD HIM EXACTLY

WHERE TO TURN FOR HELP.

Reporter:

OCTOBER 15th, 2014.

FRANKLIN BRADFORD CHECKED

HIMSELF INTO AN EMERGENCY

ROOM.

I WAS FEELING INTENSE

PAIN IN MY ABDOMEN AREA.

ONCE THEY GOT ME BACK

THERE, I HAD TO HAVE A

BOWEL MOVEMENT, AND IT WAS

ALL BLOOD.

THEN THERE WAS, LIKE, A

MAJOR PROBLEM.

Reporter: WITHIN

MINUTES, FRANKLIN WAS IN

CRITICAL CONDITION AND

TRANSFERRED TO RALEIGH

HOSPITAL IN WEST VIRGINIA.

BY THE TIME THEY GOT ME

OUT OF THE AMBULANCE AND

GETTING READY TO TAKE MY

INTO THE DOOR, I DON'T

REMEMBER ANYTHING.

Reporter: IN I.C.U.,

THE DOCTORS WORKED TO

LOCATE THE SOURCE OF THE

PROBLEM.

FRANKLIN'S SON, ADAM, WAS

THERE.

THEY WERE GOING TO COME

UP WITH A TREATMENT TO TRY

TO THICKEN HIS BLOOD.

IT WASN'T WORKING, THOUGH.

Reporter: OVER THE

NEXT FEW DAYS, FRANKLIN

CONTINUED TO HAVE EPISODES

OF PASSING BLOOD.

ALL DOCTORS COULD DO WAS

REPLENISH WHAT HE LOST AND

WAIT FOR THE BLOOD

THINNERS TO WEAR OFF.

THE DOCTORS HAD COME

IN, AND THEY TOLD ME TO BE

PREPARED.

THIS ISN'T GOOD.

WE DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN

SAVE HIM.

AND I THOUGHT I WAS IN A

NIGHTMARE.

I MEAN, IT WAS A

NIGHTMARE.

AND I JUST -- I MEAN, I

FELT THAT HE JUST WASN'T

GOING TO MAKE IT.

FAMILY MEMBERS STARTED

GETTING THE INFORMATION

OUT, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN

CHURCHES WERE PRAYING AND

DIFFERENT AREAS WERE

PRAYING.

Reporter: ONE DAY

ADAM WENT TO THE CHAPEL TO

PRAY.

HE WAS TRYING TO RECALL A

BIBLE VERSE HE WANTED TO

PRAY FOR HIS DAD.

AND THEN HE NOTICED A

BIBLE SITTING ON A TABLE.

ALL OF A SUDDEN THIS

VOICE RESONATED ON THE

INSIDE OF ME AND SAID,

IT'S IN EZEKIEL 16.

AND I PICKED IT UP, OPENED

IT UP, AND THERE IT WAS.

WHEN I SEEN YOU LYING

POLLUTED IN YOUR BLOOD, I

SAID UNTO YOU, LIVE.

I'M LIKE THIS HAS TO BE

REAL.

THIS HAS TO BE GOD.

Reporter: ADAM

RETURNED TO THE I.C.U. AND

PRAYED THE SCRIPTURE OVER

HIS DAD.

LATER HE HAD DRIFTED OFF

TO SLEEP WHEN HIS FATHER'S

VOICE WOKE HIM UP.

AND I'M SITTING THERE,

AND ALL OF A SUDDEN HE

STARTS TALKING.

HE STARTED SAYING, YES,

LORD, I THANK YOU.

I THANK YOU FOR WHAT

YOU'RE DOING RIGHT NOW.

AND MY DAD CONCLUDED

SAYING, YES, LORD, THIS

WILL BE FOR YOUR

TESTIMONY.

FOR YOUR GREATNESS.

AND THEN HE WENT

UNRESPONSIVE AGAIN.

I KNEW -- I KNEW DEEP DOWN

INSIDE THAT THIS WAS GOING

TO BE OKAY.

Reporter: THE NEXT

MORNING ADAM DISCOVERED

FRANKLIN WAS HEMORRHAGING

MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF BLOOD.

AND THIS TIME IT WASN'T

STOPPING.

DR. BRYAN WHITE WAS THE

SURGEON CALLED IN.

THIS GUY WAS LITERALLY

DYING IN FRONT OF OUR

EYES.

AND WE HAD TO DO SOMETHING

TO SAVE HIS LIFE.

AND THE ONLY OTHER THING

LEFT WAS A SURGICAL

INTERVENTION.

THEY WERE, LIKE, IF

NOT, HE'S DEAD.

AND MORE THAN LIKELY, HE'S

GOING TO DIE ON THE

OPERATING TABLE, BUT AT

LEAST IT IS A CHANCE THAT

WE'D LIKE TO TAKE, IF

YOU'D AGREE TO IT.

AND I'M, LIKE, YUP, YOU

OPERATE.

WE GOT TO THE OPERATING

ROOM AND OPENED UP HIS

STOMACH.

IT WAS A HUGE ULCER.

THERE WAS A BLOOD VESSEL

IN THE MIDDLE OF IT JUST

PUMPING BLOOD.

Reporter: AFTER FOUR

HOURS OF SURGERY,

DR. WHITE AND THE TEAM

REMOVED THE ULCER AND

REPAIRED THE OPEN BLOOD

VESSEL.

BUT THERE WAS STILL A

PROBLEM.

HE KEPT BLEEDING.

HE IS STILL OOZING BLOOD.

HIS BLOOD WAS STILL

THIN BECAUSE OF THE

MEDICATION HE WAS TAKING.

BUT THAT HAD TO GET OUT OF

HIS SYSTEM SO HE COULD BE

OKAY.

Reporter: FRANKLIN

WAS PUT ON BLOOD

THICKENING AGENTS AND

FROZEN PLASMA TO GET HIS

BLOOD TO CLOT.

OVER THE NEXT TWO WEEKS,

ADAM AND OTHERS WATCHED

AND PRAYED.

IT STARTED WORKING.

THE BLEEDING STARTED TO

SLOW DOWN.

THE DOCTORS STARTED

SAYING, I THINK HE IS

GOING TO MAKE IT.

I THINK HE IS GOING TO

PULL THROUGH.

THAT WAS SOME OF THE

GREATEST NEWS YOU COULD

EVER HAD.

THE FIRST THING THAT I

COULD REMEMBER IS

DR. WHITE CAME WALKING IN

THE DOOR AND HE SAID,

THERE IS THE MAN WITH THE

NINE LIVES.

Reporter: AFTER WEEKS

OF TREATMENT AND REHAB,

FRANKLIN FULLY RECOVERED.

IT IS A MIRACLE, YES.

I DIDN'T EXPECT IT.

JESUS CHRIST IS

AWESOME.

HE TOLD ME IF I TRUST IN

HIM, HE WOULD TAKE CARE OF

ME.

AND HE DID.

AND HE DOES.

AND HE IS.

THERE IS NOTHING

IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE LORD.

PRAYER WORKS.

HE LISTENS.

HE LISTENS TO YOUR

PRAYERS.

KEEP PRAYING.

Pat: WHAT A

WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL

TESTIMONY.

BUT I MIGHT ALSO SAY,

FOLKS, THAT, YOU KNOW, THE

INSAIDS THAT WE TAKE SO

FREELY CAUSE ULCERS AND

THEY CAUSE BLEEDING.

THEY CAUSE HUNDREDS OF

THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE IN

THIS NATION THAT DIE

BECAUSE OF STUFF LIKE --

WHAT IS THE ONE -- ALEVE?

THAT'S THE MOST POPULAR.

Wendy: ALEVE, IT

CAUSES ULCERS AND STOMACH

BLEEDING.

ALTHOUGH SOME PEOPLE SWEAR

BY IT.

Pat: JUST A COUPLE OF

ALEVES, SURE, AND YOU

START INTERNAL BLOODING,

AND THE BLOOD THINNERS,

LIKE COUMADIN, THEY DON'T

LEAVE IN A HURRY.

Wendy: YOU USED TO

TAKE THAT?

Pat: YEAH, I USED TO

TAKE IT WHEN I HAD ATRIAL

FIBULATION, BUT NOW I'VE

GOT MY PACEMAKER AND I

DON'T TAKE ANY OF THIS

STUFF.

Wendy: YOU'RE DOING

WELL WITH THAT, RIGHT?

Pat: SURE.

Wendy: BETTER THAN

BEFORE?

Pat: WELL, YEAH, BUT

IT HURTS.

YOU HIT IT AND IT WILL

DING.

I'M LIKE THE BIONIC MAN.

> OKAY, FOR 20 YEARS,

PATRICIA, WHO LIVES IN

TANAWANDA, NEW YORK,

SUFFERED WITH SEVERE

STOMACH PAIN AND ACID

REFLUX.

THE PAIN WAS CONSTANT.

AND ALL SHE COULD DO WAS

LIE DOWN AND PRAY.

SO SHE CALLED "THE 700

CLUB" AND SAID, WOULD YOU

PLEASE PRAY FOR COMPLETE

HEALING.

SHE RECEIVED THE HEALING

THE NEXT DAY, AND HASN'T

EXPERIENCED ANY PAIN

SINCE.

Wendy: MARGARET OF

FALLS MILLS, VIRGINIA, SHE

DEVELOPED A RASH AND BUMPS

ON HER LEFT KNEE AND IT

BEGAN TO OOZE.

SHE TRIED VARIOUS

OVER-THE-COUNTER CREAMS

AND NOTHING WORKED.

SHE WAS WATCHING "THE 700

CLUB."

AND SHE HEARD YOU, PAT,

SAYING SOMEBODY HAS SIRE

RISES ANSIRCIRCIRRISOSIS, AND THERE ARE

BUMPS.

AND GOD IS HEALING YOU.

AND SHE WAS HEALED.

Pat: GOD, OF COURSE,

CAN FIX YOUR HEART OR YOUR

PSORIASIS OR ANYTHING.

WENDY AND I ARE GOING TO

JOIN HANDS.

FATHER, I JOIN HANDS WITH

MY SISTER IN CHRIST, IN

THE NAME OF JESUS.

AN ULCER IS BEING HEALED

BY THE POWER OF GOD.

THE LORD HAS JUST TOUCHED

YOU AND YOU'LL FEEL FIRE

IN YOUR INNER ABDOMEN IN

THE NAME OF JESUS.

TOUCH!

WENDY?

Wendy: THERE IS

SOMEONE, YOU CAN'T CRY.

YOU HAVE DRY TEAR DUCTS.

GOD IS HEALING YOUR EYES

RIGHT NOW.

YOU'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO

CRY AND HAVE MOISTURE IN

YOUR EYES.

SOMEONE NAMED NANCY, GOD

IS HEALING YOU OF

HEPATITIS "C."

GOD IS HEALING YOU.

Pat: SOMEONE HAS

BLISTERS ON THE ROOF OF

YOUR MOUTH.

RIGHT NOW, PUT YOUR HAND

OVER YOUR MOUTH IN THE

NAME OF JESUS.

RECEIVE THE HEALING.

RIGHT NOW.

IN JESUS' NAME.

WENDY?

Wendy: THERE IS

SOMEONE WITH A VERY

INFLAMED RIGHT ELBOW.

I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU HURT

IT OR IF IT IS FROM AN

ACCIDENT, BUT GOD IS

HEALING YOU RIGHT NOW.

IN JESUS' NAME.

Pat: THERE ARE THOSE

GRIPPED BY FEAR IN THIS

AUDIENCE.

YOU'VE BEEN AFRAID WHAT IS

GOING TO HAPPEN IN THE

WORLD.

YOU'RE AFRAID OF NUCLEAR.

YOU'RE AFRAID OF ALL OF

THE THINGS THAT YOU HEAR

ABOUT.

RIGHT NOW, GREAT PEACE FOR

THEY WHO LOVE THE LORD.

THE PEACE OF GOD IS COMING

INTO YOUR LIFE RIGHT NOW.

WE REBUKE A SPIRIT OF FEAR

IN THE NAME OF JESUS.

AMEN.

AND AMEN.

PRAISE GOD.

GIVE US A CALL, AND LET US

KNOW WHAT THE LORD HAS

DONE FOR YOU.

WE'D LOVE TO HEAR FROM

YOU: 1-800-759-0700.

Wendy: WE HAVE

ANOTHER ROUND OF "BRING IT

ON."

MARY ASKS, "CAN WE SEE OUR

LOVED ONES AFTER THEY

DIE?"

WE'LL WEIGH IN ON THAT AND

MUCH MORE, SO DON'T GO

AWAY.

Wendy: WELCOME BACK.

IT IS TIME TO "BRING IT

ON" WITH YOUR E-MAIL

QUESTIONS.

MARY SAYS --

Pat: BEFORE WE GET TO

THAT, I WANT TO TELL YOU

ABOUT A NICE GROUP IN THE

AUDIENCE TODAY.

THE S.C.M. SUMMER CAMP

FROM SUFFOLK, VIRGINIA.

VISION CAMP.

GIVE YOURSELVES A HAND.

[APPLAUSE]

Pat: COME ON.

LET'S SEE THE WHOLE THING.

Wendy: THERE ARE SO

MANY OF THEM.

Pat: ZOOM BACK AND

YOU CAN SEE IT.

WE PAY FOR THOSE ZOOMS ON

THOSE CAMERAS.

[LAUGHTER]

Pat: LOOK AT ALL OF

THEM.

Wendy: THEY'RE A

GREAT AUDIENCE.

FOR SUCH A BIG AUDIENCE,

THEY'RE BEING SO QUIET.

Pat: OKAY, LET'S GO.

Pat: MARY WRITES IN,

"CAN WE SEE OUR LOVED ONES

AFTER THEY DIE?

CAN THEY HEAR US SPEAK TO

THEM AT THE GRAVE SITE?"

Pat: I DON'T THINK

SO.

I DON'T THINK THE LORD HAS

ALLOWED COMMUNICATION BACK

AND FORTHWITH THE DEAD.

BACK

AND FORTH WITH THE DEAD.

THERE WAS ONE TIME WHEN

SAUL CALLED UP THE

PROPHET, SAMUEL, BUT THAT

IS UNUSUAL.

SO THE ANSWER IS NO.

AFTER WE'RE ALL DEAD AND

IN HEAVEN, OF COURSE WE

WILL RECOGNIZE OUR LOVED

ONES.

THERE WILL BE GREAT

REUNIONS IN HEAVEN, BUT

NOT ACROSS THE LINE.

THAT'S DEMONIC.

Wendy: JIM SAYS, "I

KNOW SOME PEOPLE WHO ARE

INVOLVED IN WALKING

THROUGH BEDS OF HOT

EMBERS.

IS THIS PRACTICE DEMONIC?

THE OLD TESTAMENT SAYS

THAT PAGAN TRIBES CAUSED

THEIR CHILDREN TO

PASS-THROUGH FIRE."

Pat: A BIG FURNISS

WITH A BIG WHOLE IN HIS

STOMACH, AND THERE WAS A

HUGE FIRE GOING IN THERE.

AND WHEN SOMEBODY PASSED

THEIR CHILD INTO THE FIRE,

THEY ACTUALLY GOT HIM

BURNED UP.

THEY PASSED IT INTO THIS

GUT THING.

BUT THIS ISN'T WALKING ON

BEDS OF COALS.

NOW, LOOK, THERE ARE

PEOPLE WHO GET POSSESSED

BY DEMONIC SPIRIT, AND

THEN THEY STICK STUFF IN

THEM.

THEY WALK THROUGH COALS.

THEY SKEWER THEIR MOUTHS.

THE DEMONIC SPIRIT GIVES

THEM RELEASE FROM PAIN,

AND THEY DO ALL OF THAT

STUFF.

BUT IT IS UNDER THE

INFLUENCE OF DEMONS.

THAT IS NOT SOMETHING OF

GOD.

ALL RIGHT, WHAT ELSE?

Wendy: THIS ONE SAYS,

"20 YEARS AGO I WAS

BAPTIZED, SOON AFTER THAT

I FELL INTO SIN AND

REPEATED THAT SIN ON AND

OFF FOR YEARS.

I FINALLY LET GO OF MY

SINFUL LIFESTYLE AND I

WANT A RELATIONSHIP WITH

GOD.

DO I NEED TO BE BAPTIZED

AGAIN?"

Pat: IT IS NOT

BAPTISM THAT YOU NEED, BUT

YOU NEED TO CONFESS YOUR

SIN.

I GUESS THAT SIN IS YOU

WERE HAVING SEX OVER AND

OVER AGAIN -- I GUESS WHAT

THAT IS.

YOU NEED TO COME BEFORE

THE LORD AND SAY CLEANSE

ME, AND HERE IS WHAT I

DID.

IT DOESN'T HURT TO NAME

THEM ONE BY ONE.

COUNT YOUR SINS AND ASK

GOD TO FORGIVE THEM AND

THEN PUT THEM ALL UNDER

THE BLOOD OF CHRIST AND

THAT'S THE END OF IT.

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE

BAPTIZED AGAIN.

Wendy: ANTHONY SAYS,

"HI, PAT.

WHEN SOMEONE PRAYED FOR

ME, THEY FELT LIKE THE

LORD SAID MY CALLING AND

GIFT IS IN THE MUSIC

INDUSTRY.

I KNOW GOD HAS BLESSED ME

WITH MUSIC TALENT, BUT

EVERY TIME I WRITE SONGS,

I GET STUCK.

HAS THE LORD GIVEN UP ON

ME?"

Pat: I DON'T KNOW

WHAT THE LORD HAS GIVEN

YOU, BUT I DO KNOW THIS,

YOU EXERCISE WHAT IS THERE

AS MUCH AS YOU HAVE GOT.

IF SONGS COME TO YOU, LET

THEM COME TO YOU.

BUT DON'T SIT AROUND

AGONIZING OVER STUFF LIKE

THAT.

LET IT COME AND IT WILL

FLOW.

> WE LEAVE YOU WITH

TODAY'S POWER MINUTE FROM

2 CORINTHIANS: "NO MATTER

HOW MANY PROMISES GOD HAS

MADE, THEY ARE YES IN

CHRIST."

WE'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW.

BYE-BYE.
