Mark: TODAY ON
"NEWSWATCH," WILL
PRESIDENT TRUMP TACKLE THE
TOUGH ISSUES WITH CHINA'S
LEADER AS THE TWO PREPARE
FOR MEET FOR THE FIRST
TIME?
PLUS, STUDENTS CALLED
DREAMers, AND HOW THE
TRUMP POLICY CAN INFLUENCE
THEIR FUTURE.
> AND HOW PEOPLE RESPOND
TO CANDACE CAMERON BURE,
AFTER PEOPLE LASHED OUT
AND CALLED HER A
HOMOPHOBIC REPUBLICAN.
> THANKS FOR JOINING CBN
"NEWSWATCH."
I'M MARK MARTIN.
> IT HAS BEEN CALLED A
BLIND DATE WITH GLOBAL
RAMIFICATIONS.
THE TWO MEN MAY HAVE NEVER
MET, BUT THEY HAVE A LOT
TO TALK ABOUT.
DALE HURD HAS THE STORY.
Reporter: THERE IS NO
MYSTERY OVER WHAT WILL BE
ON THE AGENDA WHEN THE
LEADERS OF THE U.S. AND
CHINA MEET FOR THE FIRST
TIME AT MAR-A-LAGO IN
FLORIDA.
ON WEDNESDAY, THE NATION
KNOWN AS THE HERMIT
KINGDOM LAUNCHED ANOTHER
MISSILE.
President Trump:
NORTH KOREA -- WE HAVE A
BIG PROBLEM.
WE HAVE SOMEBODY NOT DOING
THE RIGHT THING.
THAT IS GOING TO BE MY
RESPONSIBILITY.
CLEARLY TRUMP WOULD
LIKE TO SEE CHINA PUTTING
MORE PRESSURE ON NORTH
KOREA.
Reporter: AND THE
OTHER BIG ISSUE ON THE
AGENDA IS TRADE.
TRUMP HAS ALREADY TWEETED
THAT THE U.S. CAN NO
LONGER HAVE MASSIVE TRADE
DEFICITS WITH CHINA.
AND THEN YOU'VE GOT A
LONG LIST OF ISSUES OF
COMMON CONCERN, ALL THE
WAY FROM THE SOUTH CHINA
SEE TO TAIWAN.
Reporter: AND THE
CHEMICAL WEAPONS ATTACK
THAT KILLED AT LEAST 72
PEOPLE IN SYRIA SEEMS TO
HAVE CHANGED PRESIDENT
TRUMP'S PERCEPTION OF THE
WAR THERE AND THE
RUSSIA-BACKED ASSAD
REGIME.
BEFORE BECOMING PRESIDENT,
TRUMP HAD SAID SYRIA IS
NOT OUR PROBLEM.
BUT NOW HE SAYS...
President Trump: THAT
ATTACK ON CHILDREN
YESTERDAY HAD A BIG IMPACT
ON ME -- BIG IMPACT.
MY ATTITUDE TOWARDS SYRIA
AND ASSAD HAS CHANGED VERY
MUCH.
Reporter: AT AN
EMERGENCY MEETING, RUSSIA
CONTINUED TO DENY THAT THE
SYRIAN GOVERNMENT WAS
BEHIND IT.
[SPEAKING A FOREIGN
LANGUAGE]
Reporter: AND THE
SYRIAN FOREIGN MINISTER
SAID TODAY HIS COUNTRY
NEVER USED, AND WILL THE
NOT USE, CHEMICAL WEAPONS
IN SYRIA.
BUT U.S. AMBASSADOR NIKKI
HALEY SAID THE FACTS WERE
UNDENIABLE.
THERE ARE TIMES IN THE
LIFE OF STATES THAT WE ARE
COMPELLED TO TAKE OUR OWN
ACTION.
Reporter: BUT
PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS
NON-COMMITTAL OVER WHETHER
THE U.S. WOULD TAKE ACTION
OVER THE ATTACK, AND TOLD
REPORTERS, IF HE WERE, HE
IS CERTAINLY NOT GOING TO
TELL THEM.
DALE HURD, CBN NEWS.
Mark: IT'S DOWN TO
THE WIRE: TOMORROW THE
SENATE WILL DECIDE WHETHER
TO ADVANCE JUDGE NEIL
GORSUCH TO THE SUPREME
COURT.
DEMOCRATS ARE NOT BUDGING,
AND REPUBLICANS ARE
CALLING A POLITICAL FOUL.
JENNIFER WISHON EXPLAINS.
Jennifer: IT LOOKS
LIKE REPUBLICANS WILL HAVE
TO GO NUCLEAR, OR AT THE
VERY LEAST GET CREATIVE IF
THEY WANT TO PUT NEIL
GORSUCH ON THE SUPREME
COURT.
DEMOCRATS ARE EMPLOYING
TACTICS LIKE LONG DRAMATIC
SPEECHES ON THE SENATE
FLOOR.
THIS IS AN EXTREME
NOMINEE FROM THE FAR
RIGHT, WHO DOESN'T BELIEVE
IN THE FUNDAMENTAL VISION
OF "WE THE PEOPLE" AND
MAKES DECISION AFTER
DECISION THROUGH TORTURE,
TWISTED, CONTRIVED
ARGUMENTS TO FIGHT FOR THE
POWERFUL OVER THE PEOPLE.
Reporter: KELLYANNE
CONWAY TELLS CBN NEWS
DEMOCRATS ARE PLAYING
POLITICAL CAMES WITH
GORSUCH, DESPITE HIS
FIRST-RATE QUALIFICATIONS.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
NEIL GORSUCH, AN APPELLATE
JUDGE IN THE U.S. CIRCUIT
COURT WHO'S ACADEMIC
CREDENTIALS ARE BEYOND
REPROACH.
Reporter: THE
AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION
GAVE GORSUCH ITS HIGHEST
POSSIBLE RATING.
NOW CONSERVATIVES ARE
ASKING IF DEMOCRATS WILL
GO AFTER A NOMINEE AS
QUALIFIED AS JUDGE
GORSUCH, THEN WHO WILL
THEY ACCEPT FROM PRESIDENT
TRUMP'S LIST OF POTENTIAL
NOMINEES.
WHAT IS UNPRECEDENTED
HERE, IN THE 228 YEARS
HISTORY OF THE INSTITUTION
OF THE UNITED NATIONS
SENATE IS A PARTISAN
FILIBUSTER.
IT IS VERY, VERY
UNFORTUNATE.
Reporter: A NUMBER OF
DEMOCRATS NOW AGAINST
GORSUCH WERE FIRST FOR
HIM.
THOSE WHO WERE IN THE
SENATE OF 2006 WHEN GEORGE
BUSH NOMINATED GORSUCH TO
THE TENTH CIRCUIT COURT OF
APPEALS, AND HE WAS
CONFIRMED UNANIMOUSLY.
REPUBLICANS SAY THEY'RE
NOT DETERRED.
CONWAY SAYS THE PRESIDENT
KNOWS HIS COMMITMENT TO
APPOINT A NOMINEE WITH
FIDELITY TO THE
CONSTITUTION IS ONE OF THE
REASONS EVANGELICALS
SUPPORTED HIM IN RECORD
NUMBERS.
NEIL GORSUCH IS
QUALIFIED.
HE WILL BE CONFIRMED.
HE WILL SIT ON THE UNITED
STATES SUPREME COURT VERY
SOON.
Reporter: WE'LL ALL
FIND OUT ON FRIDAY.
JENNIFER WISHON, CBN NEWS,
THE WHITE HOUSE.
Mark: PRESIDENT TRUMP
REMOVED THE CHIEF
STRATEGIST STEVE BANNON
FROM THE NATIONAL SECURITY
COUNCIL.
IT NO LONGER LISTS HIM AS
A MEMBER OF THE
HIGH-RANKING COMMITTEE.
IT SPARKED CONCERNS FROM
TRUMP CRITICS WHO SAID IT
WAS INAPPROPRIATE FOR THE
POLITICAL ADVISOR TO PLAY
A ROLE ON NATIONAL
SECURITY MATTERS.
> A BILL THAT AIMS TO
PROTECT RELIGIOUS
EXPRESSION IN FLORIDA'S
PUBLIC SCHOOLS PASSED THE
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
MANY SEE IT AS A WIN FOR
RELIGIOUS FREEDOM.
HOUSE BILL 303 ALLOWS
STUDENTS AND STAFF IN THE
STATE'S PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO
PARTICIPATE IN STUDENT-LED
PRAYER, AND IT BARS SCHOOL
DISTRICTS FROM
DISCRIMINATING AGAINST
STUDENTS, PARENTS, AND
SCHOOL PERSONNEL ON THE
BASIS OF RELIGIOUS
EXPRESSION.
THE MEASURE IS IN RESPONSE
TO THE TIGHTENING OF
FREE-SPEECH RIGHTS IN
SCHOOLS, INCLUDING THE
BANNING OF RELIGIOUS
JEWELRY, LIKE CROSS
NECKLACES.
> CHARGES AGAINST A
CHRISTIAN STUDENT AT A
COLLEGE HAS BEEN DROPPED.
A JUDGE DISMISSED THE CASE
AFTER THE PROFESSOR
VOLUNTARILY DROPPED HER
CHARGE AGAINST THE
STUDENT.
MUSLIM PROFESSOR ARID SUF
SUFARI HAD AN INJUNCTION
AGAINST A STUDENT.
HE TOLD CBN NEWS THAT HE
IS CONCERNED ABOUT HER
ALLEGED IDEOLOGY AND
CONNECTIONS.
THIS PROFESSOR HAS
RADICAL TIES AND RADICAL
LINKS.
AND, OF COURSE, THERE IS A
CAMPAIGN TO GET THIS
PROFESSOR REMOVED FROM
ROLLINS, AND HOPEFULLY
OTHER ACADEMIC
INSTITUTIONS IF SHE IS
GOING TO CONTINUE WITH
THIS AGENDA, WHICH IS
REALLY AN AGENDA OF
INDOCTRINATION.
Mark: CBN NEWS HAS
BEEN UNABLE TO REACH HER
FOR COMMENT.
HOWEVER, ROLLINS COLLEGE
SAID IN A LETTER THAT
EVIDENCE SHOWED THE
TEACHER WAS AGGRESSIVE AND
AT TIMES VULGAR.
> IT IS NO SECRET THAT
CHINA'S STRICT TWO-CHILD
POLICY HAS ENDED BABIES'
LIVES THROUGH FORCED
ABORTIONS.
PRESIDENT TRUMP IS TRYING
TO STOP THAT.
THE GROUP HELPS FUND THESE
FORCED ABORTIONS IN CHINA,
AND MATT STABER APPLAUDED
TRUMP'S DECISION SAYING:
"THIS LATEST ACTION BY THE
TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IS A
POSITIVE STEP AS WE TRY TO
ELIMINATE THE FUNDING OF
HUMAN GENOCIDE IN AMERICA
AND NATIONALLY."
THE FUNDING CUT MEANS
CHINA WILL MISS OUT ON
MILLIONS OF ABORTION
DOLLARS.
> KELLYANNE CONWAY TELLS
CBN NEWS THAT THE WHITE
HOUSE AS GREAT CONCERNS
ABOUT THE ROLE FORMER
NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISOR
SUSAN RICE MAY HAVE PLAYED
IN UNMASKING AND POSSIBLY
LEAKING INTELLIGENCE ON
TRUMP TRANSITION
OFFICIALS.
SHE MADE THE COMMENTS
WHILE APPEARING ON "BRODY
AND BROWDER."
THE HOUSE INTELLIGENCE
COMMITTEE REPORTEDLY WANTS
RICE TO TESTIFY ABOUT WHAT
SHE KNOWS.
AT FIRST SHE SAID SHE
KNOWS ABOUT ANY EVIDENCE
OF THOSE WORKING ON THE
TRUMP TRANSMISSION, AND
THEN SHE SAID THAT NOTHING
WERE YOWAS IMPROPERLY DONE.
MISS RICE YESTERDAY, IN
AN INTERVIEW, REALLY LED
TO MORE QUESTIONS THAN SHE
ANSWERED.
SHE SEEMED TO BE NOT
WILLING TO ANSWER SPECIFIC
QUESTIONS ABOUT ANY ROLE
SHE MAY HAVE HAD.
WE'LL LEAVE IT TO THOSE IN
CONGRESS TO DECIDE WHETHER
OR NOT THEY WOULD LIKE TO
SPEAK WITH HER.
I KNOW SOME HAVE PUBLICLY
EXPRESSED AN INTEREST IN
DOING SO, BUT WE HAVE
GREAT CONCERNS ABOUT THE
CONTINUAL POSSIBILITY OF
INCIDENTAL COLLECTION ON
INNOCENT AMERICANS.
Mark: YOU CAN SEE
DAVID'S FULL INTERVIEW BY
GOING TO OUR WEBSITE AT
cbnnews.com.
A CONTROVERSY OF
BIBLICAL PROPORTIONS IS
TURNING INTO ONE NASTY EGG
FIGHT.
CADBURY AND THE NATIONAL
TRUST HAVE OMITTED THE
WORD "EASTER" FROM THEIR
MARKETING CAMPAIGN FOR
THEIR EGG HUNT.
IT IS A MOVE THAT HAS MANY
CHRISTIANS UPSET,
INCLUDING THERESA MAY.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT
THEY'RE THINKING ABOUT,
FRANKLY.
EASTER IS VERY IMPORTANT,
IMPORTANT TO ME, AND IT IS
A VERY IMPORTANT FESTIVAL
FOR MILLIONS ACROSS THE
WORLD.
I THINK WHAT THE NATIONAL
TRUST IS DOING IS FRANKLY
JUST RIDICULOUS.
Mark: THE NATIONAL
TRUST AND CADBURY SAY THE
WHOLE ISSUE IS JUST A BIG
MISUNDERSTANDING.
THE TRUST HAS REDONE THEIR
WEBSITE TO KEEP THE WORD
"EASTER."
> THEY ARE DREAMers,
BROUGHT TO THE U.S. BY
THEIR PARENTS.
WHAT IS NEXT FOR THEM AS
THEIR FUTURES ARE TIED TO
AMERICA'S IMMIGRATION
POLICY DEBATE.
Mark: WELCOME BACK.
Mark: WELCOME BACK.
THEY'RE CALLED THE
DREAMers, THE YOUNG
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS THAT
CAME INTO THE U.S. BEFORE
THEIR 16th BIRTHDAY.
PRESIDENT OBAMA GAVE THEM
TEMPORARY PROTECTION, AND
THEIR FUTURE NOW DEPENDS
ON WHAT PRESIDENT TRUMP
WILL DO.
ABIGAIL ROBERTSON BRINGS
US THAT STORY.
Reporter: ALMOST FIVE
YEARS AGO, PRESIDENT
BARACK OBAMA DRASTICALLY
CHANGED THE LIVES OF
MILLIONS OF YOUNG
UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS.
President Obama:
EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY, THE
DEPARTMENT OF HOME LAND
SECURITY IS TAKING STEPS
TO LIFT THE SHADOW OF
DEPORTATION FROM THESE
YOUNG PEOPLE.
Reporter: THE
DEFERRED ACTION FOR
CHILDHOOD ARRIVALS
PROGRAM, OR DACA, PROVIDED
IMMIGRANTS LIKE JAMAR THE
CHANCE TO EXPLORE
OPPORTUNITY.
WHEN I HEARD ABOUT THE
DACA PROGRAM, I WAS
ESTATIC.
Reporter: THAT'S
BECAUSE LIFE HAS BEEN
ANYTHING BUT EASY FOR HIM.
SINCE HE CAME TO THE U.S.
AT JUST THREE MONTHS OF
AGE, HE HASN'T ENJOYED THE
SAME FREEDOM AS HIS TWO
YOUNGER SIBLINGS WHO WERE
BORN HERE.
HE DIDN'T KNOW HE WASN'T
AN AMERICAN CITIZEN UNTIL
HE WAS 16 AND LEARNED HE
WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO ACCEPT
SCHOLARSHIP OFFERS TO PLAY
SOCCER IN COLLEGE.
I WOULD SEE THE LETTERS
AND I WOULD SAY THANK YOU.
AND I WOULD WRITE THE
COACHES BACK, THANK YOU
FOR THE OPPORTUNITY, THANK
YOU FOR SCOUTING ME.
UNFORTUNATELY, I WOULD
HAVE TO REJECT AND
DECLINE.
Reporter: ON TOP OF
THAT, HE COULDN'T GET A
DRIVER'S LICENSE OR A JOB,
MAKING HIS FUTURE
UNCERTAIN.
I JUST HAD TO STAY
POSITIVE.
THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING
ELSE.
Reporter: THEN CAME
DACA, WHICH PROVIDED
ELIGIBLE RECIPIENTS A WORK
PERMIT, DRIVER'S LICENSE,
AND SOCIAL SECURITY
NUMBER.
JEBRON MADE THE MOST OF
IT, GRADUATING COLLEGE
WITH A NUTRITION DEGREE,
AND GETTING A JOB AT AN
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHING
P.E.
MY EMPHASIS WAS PRETTY
MUCH "MAKE AMERICA HEALTHY
AGAIN."
Reporter: STILL,
RECIPIENTS MUST PAY AROUND
$500 EVERY TWO YEARS TO
RENEW THEIR APPLICATION.
AND MANY SAY THERE IS NO
EASY PATH TO CITIZENSHIP.
JUAN CARLOS SAID, I GOT A
GLIMPSE OF LIFE WITHOUT
DACA STATUS WHEN A
TECHNICAL ISSUE DELAYED
HIS RENEWAL.
ALTHOUGH HE REAPPLIED
MONTHS IN ADVANCE, THE
MIX-UP KEPT HIM FROM
TEACHING HIS KINDERGARTEN
CLASS FOR FIVE WEEKS.
I HAD TO BE AWAY FROM
MY STUDENTS.
I WASN'T ALLOWED TO
VOLUNTEER.
I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS
GOING ON WITH THE SCHOOL,
WHETHER I WOULD BE GOING
BACK TO MY JOB ONCE I GOT
MY WORK PERMIT.
Reporter: EVENTUALLY
THE ERROR WAS FIXED, AND
JUAN CARLOS RETURNED TO
HIS CLASSROOM.
THE YALE GRADUATE WENT
INTO TEACHING TO GIVE
SOMETHING BACK TO HIS
CHILDHOOD COMMUNITY.
I ENVISIONED MYSELF
JUST BEING ABLE TO GIVE
KIDS FROM THIS COMMUNITY A
CHANCE TO PLAY SOCCER AT
SCHOOL, TO BE ABLE TO HAVE
THE CHANCE TO GO TO A
UNIVERSITY ONE DAY, LIKE
YALE.
Reporter: JEBRON TOLD
ME HE IS VERY GRATEFUL FOR
THE PROGRAM BUT CONSTANTLY
WORRIES ABOUT THE
UNCERTAINTY IN THE COUNTRY
HE CALLS HOME.
THERE IS ALWAYS FEAR.
WITHOUT DACA, WHERE DO WE
GO?
IT'S LIKE WE HAVE VANISHED
IN SOCIETY.
Reporter: DURING THE
PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN,
DONALD TRUMP HINTED AT
ELIMINATING THE PROGRAM,
YET SEEMS TO HAVE CHANGED
HIS MIND.
President Trump: IT
IS A VERY, VERY TOUGH
SUBJECT. WE'RE GOING TO
DEAL WITH DACA WITH HEART.
Reporter: THE
RECOGNIZING AMERICA'S
CHILDREN ACT COULD BE THAT
HEART, HE BELIEVES.
IT WOULD PROVIDE A PATHWAY
TO CITIZENSHIP FOR THESE
WHO CAME TO THE U.S. AS
CHILDREN.
WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS
RECOGNIZE THESE YOUNG
PEOPLE, MANY OF WHOM CAME
TO HIS COUNTRY AT AN AGE
WHERE THEY DON'T EVEN
REMEMBER THEIR COUNTRIES
OF ORIGINMEN ORIGIN.
THEY DIDN'T BREAK ANY
LAWS.
THEY WENT TO SCHOOL WITH
OUR OWN KIDS, GREW UP IN
OUR SCHOOLS, SPEAKING
ENGLISH, AND TODAY THEY
JUST WANT TO BE RECOGNIZED
AS AMERICA'S CHILDREN,
WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY
ARE.
Reporter: CORBELLA
SAYS THIS BILL WOULD GIVE
THOSE YOUNG PEOPLE AN
OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE IT
OFFICIAL.
THEY HAVE TO BE
PRODUCTIVE.
THEY HAVE TO BE PEOPLE IN
GOOD MORAL STANDING.
THEY HAVE TO OBTAIN A
COLLEGE DEGREE OR SERVE IN
THE MILITARY OR HAVE A
VALID WORK PERMIT AND BE
ACTIVELY CONTRIBUTING TO
OUR ECONOMY.
IF THEY CAN CHECK ONE OF
THOSE BOXES, THEY CAN EARN
A PASS TO FULL AMERICAN
CITIZENSHIP.
Reporter: HE HOPES
THE PRESIDENT WILL AGREE,
IF THE BILL MAKES IT TO
HIS DESK.
PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS THE
OPPORTUNITY TO BECOME A
HERO FOR THESE YOUNG
PEOPLE AND TO DO THE RIGHT
THING BY ENCOURAGING THIS
KIND OF LEGISLATION.
AND HOPEFULLY WE HERE IN
THE CONGRESS DO THE RIGHT
THING BY SENDING IT TO
HIM.
Reporter: THIS
STATUTE IS CALLED THE
DOCUMENT OF THE
DREAMers.
REPORTING FROM DALLAS,
ABIGAIL ROBERTSON, CBN
NEWS.
Mark: CHRISTIAN
ACTRESS CANDACE CAMERON
BURE IS ANSWERIN RESPONDING TO AN
ATTACK BY CRITICS.
Mark: THANKS FOR
Mark: THANKS FOR
STAYING WITH US.
ACTRESS CANDACE CAMERON
BUR'S RESPONSE TO A
POPULAR DRAG QUEEN'S
PUBLIC NAME CALLING WENT
VIRAL LAST WEEK.
ROY HEYWORK IS A
WELL-KNOWN DRAG QUEEN WHO
TARGETED BURE, CALLING
HERE A HOMOPHOBIC
REPUBLICAN.
SHE SAID, I'M NOT
HOMOPHOBIC, AND IT IS
ALWAYS SAD WHEN PEOPLE
THINK OTHERWISE.
LOVING JESUS DOESN'T MEAN
I HATE GAY PEOPLE OR
ANYONE.
I HOPE NEXT TIME YOU'LL
SPREAD LOVE AND KINDNESS,
EVEN WHEN YOU DISAGREE
WITH PEOPLE.
SHE SPOKE OUBURE DOESN'T COMMENT ON
LGBT ISSUES OFTEN, BUT
WHEN SHE DOES, SHE TRIES
TO REFLECT THE LOVE OF
CHRIST.
GOOD FOR HER.
> RAPPERS OFTEN GET A
BAD RAP WITH THE
PERCEPTION OF LAVISH
LIFESTYLES, AND HOW THEY
CAN SOMETIMES HAVE A
NEGATIVE IMPACT ON OUR
CULTURE.
HOWEVER, ONE GROUP OF
RAPPERS IS CHANGING THAT
WITH AN AMAZING PROJECT
THAT HELPS ORPHANS.
EFREM GRAHAM HAS THAT
STORY FROM "STUDIO 5."
Efrem: THIS IS JUST A
SNAPSHOT OF A TRIP THAT
CHANGED THE WAY THESE
RAPPERS SEE THE WORLD.
TAKE ME TO SOUTH AFRICA.
YOU VISIT SOUTH AFRICA,
AND WHAT HAPPENS?
IN PETORIA, WE WERE
ABLE TO GO TO AN ORPHANAGE
AND A MINISTRY WE PARTNER
WITH.
AT THIS ORPHAN CARE
CENTER, THERE WAS THE
BIGGEST TOWNSHIP, AND THE
SMALL COMMUNITY IN THAT
TOWNSHIP SET UP AN ORPHAN
CARE CENTER AT ONE PRIMARY
SCHOOL, WHERE ABOUT 136
KIDS COME AT THE SCHOOL
THAT ARE EITHER SINGLE OR
DOUBLE ORPHANED.
Efrem: WHEN THE
CHILDREN LEAVE THE CARE
CENTER, MANY FACE A
DANGEROUS JOURNEY HOME,
AND THE CONSTANT THREAT OF
SEX TRAFFICKING, ABUSE AND
ABANDONMENT.
WE ASKED THE PEOPLE WHO
RUN THE ORPHAN CARE CENTER
WHAT IS NEXT?
AND THEY SAID, WE REALLY
NEED A SAFE HOUSE, SO THEY
HAVE SOMEWHERE TO GO WHEN
THEY ARE IN CRISIS OR
VULNERABLE.
Efrem: THE GROUP DID
AN ALBUM TO RAISE MONEY
AND AWARENESS FOR THE CARE
HOUSE.
HOW MUCH MONEY IS NEEDED?
IN OUR CURRENCY, ABOUT
$100,000.
IN THEIR CURRENCY, ABOUT
$1.2 MILLION.
Efrem: A BIG GOAL: A
CALL FOR BIG TALENT.
WE CAUGHT UP WITH MEMBERS
OF THE RENAISSANCE MUSIC
MOVEMENT AT ONE OF THEIR
FUNDRAISING EVENTS,
FEATURING K.J. J. SKRIVENS.
I'M REALLY, REALLY BIG
ON THE BIG GOAL AND THE
BIG COMMISSION.
TO LOVE THE LORD AND MY
NEIGHBOR.
THIS SAFE HOUSE AND WHAT
IT STANDS FOR, I WAS
WILLING TO, LIKE, STOP
WHAT I WAS DOING TO BE
HERE FOR THAT.
BECAUSE IF IT HAPPENS TO
ONE KID, IF ONE KID GETS
CAUGHT UP IN SEX
TRAFFICKING, AND WE CAN
HELP WITH ONE, THAT'S
ENOUGH.
THERE IS A LOT OF
FAMILY THEY WANT TO
RESTORE.
TO BE SALT AND LIGHT IN
THIS WORLD, IN THIS DARK,
CRAZY WORLD.
Efrem: IT IS GREAT TO
SEE THOSE RAPPERS REACHING
OUT TO ORPHANS IN NEED.
> WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK
WITH MORE OF CBN
"NEWSWATCH."
Efrem: THERE IS A
FOOD COMPANY IN WASHINGTON
THAT IS MIXING POLITICS
WITH POPCORN.
YOU CAN FIND A RANGE OF
FLAVORS, FROM
CONGRESSIONAL CHEDDAR TO
CAPITAL CARMEL OR YOU CAN
GO WITH THE TRUMP MIX.
HERE IS JUAN GARCIA AND
JENNA BROWDER WITH A NEW
SOCIAL SEGMENT WE'RE
CALLING "D.C. DISH."
Reporter: HEY, GUYS,
THESE ARE THE PREMIER
POPCORN EXPERTS OF
WASHINGTON, D.C.
THEY MIX A LITTLE BIT
OF THE BELTWAY TO ALL
THEIR CREATIONS.
THANK YOU.
HI THERE.
HI, GUYS, WELCOME.
THANK YOU FOR HAVING

WELCOME TO POP FOR THE
PUBLIC.
Reporter: ALL RIGHT.

WE'RE IN THE PRODUCTION
KITCHEN OF POP REPUBLIC.

TODAY, AND WE'RE ALSO
DOING AMERICA'S FAVORITE,
AND SOME CHEDDAR POPCORN
AS WELL.
THE ONE THING I TELL ALL
OF MY EMPLOYEES, WHEN
YOU'RE HERE, EAT, EAT AS
MUCH POPCORN AS POSSIBLE.
EVERY ELECTION CYCLE, YOU
KNOW, WE'LL COME UP WITH
MIXES, AND IF YOU BECOME
PRESIDENT, THERE IS A MIX
NAMED AFTER YOU.
THE NUMBER ONE BEST-SELLER
IS THE OBAMA MIX.
PRESIDENT TRUMP MIX IS A
CONGRESSIONAL CHEDDAR
MIXED WITH THE BUFFALO, IT
IS KIND OF THE BOLD AND
BRASH, IF YOU WILL.
WE'VE GOT ABOUT, I WOULD
SAY, ABOUT 20 DIFFERENT
FLAVORS.
WE WENT AHEAD AND PUT
TOGETHER A COUPLE FOR YOU.
WE'VE GOT THE TRUMP MIX.
OOH, THAT'S BOLD.
WE SCORED BIG LEAGUE.
HUBIERA HEY, NOW.
