Efrem: TERROR COMES

TO MANCHESTER, A SUICIDE

BOMBER TARGETS A CROWDED

CONCERT IN THE U.K.'S

WORST ATTACK IN 10 YEARS.

> THEN...HOW PRESIDENT

TRUMP PLANS TO WORK THE

ART OF THE DEAL AND STRIKE

PEACE BETWEEN THE ISRAELIS

AND THE PALESTINIANS.

CBN NEWS IS ON THE SCENE.

PLUS...THE SPECIAL

TEAMS CAPTAIN FOR THE NEW

ENGLAND PATRIOTS.

THE LORD HAS PUT ME

HERE TO MAKE HIS NAME MORE

FAMOUS.

Efrem: CBN NEWS SITS

DOWN WITH MATTHEW SLATER

ON TODAY'S "THE 700 CLUB."

THE LORD HAS PLANS THAT

YOU CAN'T EVEN SEE OR

UNDERSTAND.

*

Pat: WELL, WELCOME,

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, TO

THIS EDITION OF "THE 700

CLUB".

THE BRUTAL TERRORISTS OF

ISIS ARE SAYING THAT ONE

OF ITS MEMBERS CARRIED OUT

THE HORRIFIC SUICIDE

BOMBING IN MANCHESTER,

ENGLAND.

IT WAS AN ATTACK AIMED AT

CHILDREN AND TEENAGERS.

AND IT KILLED AT LEAST 22

PEOPLE.

Terry: WELL, THE

WOUNDED ARE BEING TREATED

AT EIGHT HOSPITALS, AND

MANY ARE SUFFERING FROM

LIFE-THREATENING INJURIES.

CHARLENE AARON BRINGS US

THE STORY.

Charlene: THE

EXPLOSION HAPPENED JUST

AFTER AMERICAN POP SINGER

ARIANA GRANDE WAS CLOSING

A SHOW AT THE MANCHESTER

ARENA.

CHAOS AND CONFUSION SENT

CONCERT-GOERS, MANY OF

THEM CHILDREN, SCREAMING

AND SCRAMBLING FOR THE

EXITS.

EVERYBODY STARTED

RUNNING, AND PEOPLE WERE

SCREAMING AND CRYING.

CLAIREMON Ray: WE BELIEVE THE ATTACKER

WAS CARRYING AN IMPROVISED

EXPLOSIVE DEVICE, WHICH HE

DETONATED.

Charlene: GRANDE

SAID: "BROKEN, FROM THE

BOTTOM OF MY HEART, I AM

SO SORRY.

I DON'T HAVE WORDS."

AND TODAY BRITISH PRIME

MINISTER THERESA MAY SAID

THE SUICIDE BOMBER HAD

BEEN IDENTIFIED, BUT

AUTHORITIES WERE NOT

NAMING HIT RIGHT AWAY, AND

SHE PROMISED BRITAIN WOULD

WORK HARD TO PREVENT SUCH

FUTURE ATTACKS.

WE STRUGGLE TO

COMPREHEND THE MIND THAT

SEES A ROOM FILLED WITH

YOUNG CHILDREN NOT AS A

THING TO CHERISH, BUT AS

AN OPPORTUNITY FOR

CARNAGE.

BUT WE CAN CONTINUE TO

RESOLVE TO THWART SUCH

ATTACKS IN THE FUTURE, TO

TAKE ON AND DEFEAT THE

IDEOLOGY THAT OFTEN FUELS

THIS VIOLENCE.

Charlene: AND THE

MAYOR OF MANCHESTER SAID

THE CITY WOKE UP TO THE

MOST DIFFICULT OF DAWNS.

IT IS HARD TO PUT INTO

WORDS THE SHOCK, ANGER,

AND HURT THAT WE FEEL

TODAY.

THESE ARE CHILDREN, YOUNG

PEOPLE AND THEIR FAMILIES,

THAT THOSE RESPONSIBLE

CHOSE TO TERRORIZE AND

KILL.

THIS WAS AN EVIL ACT.

Charlene: AND

SPEAKING IN BETHLEHEM IN

THE WEST BANK, DURING HIS

FIRST FOREIGN TRIP SINCE

HE TOOK OFFICE, PRESIDENT

TRUMP SPOKE FOR HIMSELF

AND AMERICA.

President Trump: AS

PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED

STATES, ON BEHALF OF THE

PEOPLE OF THE UNITED

STATES, I WOULD LIKE TO

BEGIN BY OFFERING MY

PRAYERS TO THE PEOPLE OF

MANCHESTER AND THE UNITED

KINGDOM.

I EXTEND MY DEEPEST

CONDOLENCES TO THOSE SO

TERRIBLY INJURED IN THIS

TERRORIST ATTACK AND TO

THE MANY KILLED AND THE

FAMILIES -- SO MANY

FAMILIES -- OF THE

VICTIMS.

Charlene: HE SAID THE

BOMBING UNDERSCORED THE

MESSAGE HE HAD DELIVERED

OVER THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS

ABOUT THE NEED TO CONFRONT

TERRORISM.

President Trump: THIS

IS WHAT I'VE SPENT THESE

LAST FEW DAYS TALKING

ABOUT DURING MIS MY TRIP

OVERSEAS.

OUR SOCIETY CAN HAVE NO

TOLERANCE FOR THIS

CONTINUATION OF BLOODSHED.

WE CANNOT STAND A MOMENT

LONGER FOR THE SLAUGHTER

OF INNOCENT PEOPLE.

AND IN TODAY'S ATTACK, IT

WAS MOSTLY INNOCENT

CHILDREN.

Charlene: CHARLENE

AARON, CBN NEWS.

Pat: WELL, WE JUST

LEARNED, BY THE WAY, AMONG

THOSE DEAD IS A PRECIOUS

LITTLE 8-YEAR-OLD GIRL.

THIS WAS A SLAUGHTER OF

THE YOUNG.

THESE WERE NOT COMBATANTS.

THESE WERE NOT MILITARY

PEOPLE.

FOR THESE PEOPLE TO SAY

THAT THEY'RE SOLDIERS IN

ISIS IS JUST A TRAVESTY ON

THE WORD.

THEY'RE JUST NOTHING BUT

COLD-BLOODED KILLERS WHO

KILL THE INNOCENT.

> WELL, WITH US FOR MORE

ON THIS TERRIBLE ATTACK IS

OUR INTERNATIONAL

CORRESPONDENT GARY LANE.

GARY, THERE WAS SOME

INDICATION ON SOCIAL MEDIA

THAT THERE WAS GOING TO BE

A TERRORIST ATTACK.

TELL US ABOUT IT?

Reporter: YES, PAT.

IT WAS NOTHING SPECIFIC,

BUT THERE WAS AN

INDICATION ABOUT FOUR

HOURS BEFORE THIS ATTACK

ON TWITTER, FROM ISIS AND

THEIR ISIS ACCOUNT ON

TWITTER, THAT THEY WERE

GOING TO DO SOMETHING.

AND THEY SAID THIS: "ARE

YOU FORGET OUR THREAT?

THIS IS THE JUST TERROR."

IN OTHER WORDS, HAVE YOU

FORGOTTEN OUR THREAT.

AND THEY BELIEVE THEY'RE

DOING SERVICE FOR ALLAH BY

KILLING INNOCENTS.

HE WAS KILLED IMMEDIATELY

BECAUSE HE WAS A SUICIDE

BOMBER, AND THE

AUTHORITIES AREN'T SAYING

WHO HE IS OR WHO HE WAS,

AND THEY'RE NOT SAYING

WHAT COUNTRY HE IS FROM

AND SO FORTH, NOT YET.

BUT THEY HAVE ANOTHER

PERSON IN CUSTODY, A

23-YEAR-OLD THAT THEY'VE

ARRESTED, AFTER LOOKING AT

SECURITY FOOTAGE.

THEY THINK MAYBE SOMEONE

ELSE WAS INVOLVED.

THEY WANT TO MAKE SURE

THIS WAS NOT PART OF A

NETWORK.

AND WHAT THEY HAVE WITH

THIS 23-YEAR-OLD, THEY'RE

SAYING THAT PERHAPS HE MAY

BE SOMEONE OF INTEREST.

THAT BOTH HE AND THE

BOMBER MAY BE SOMEONE --

THE BOTH OF THEM WERE

KNOWN TO AUTHORITIES.

Pat: WAS THIS A

PATTERN?

OR IS THIS JUST ALONG

ISOLATED INCIDENT?

IS THERE MORE TO COME, DO

YOU THINK?

Reporter: THIS IS THE

WORST ATTACK IN GREAT

BRITAIN SINCE JULY OF

2005, WHEN OVER 50 PEOPLE

WERE KILLED IN AN INCIDENT

AT THAT TIME.

ISIS IS PLEDGING MORE TO

COME.

THEY SAID THIS IS JUST THE

BEGINNING.

THEY SAID THIS IS IN

RETALIATION FOR ATTACKS

THAT BRITAIN HAD DONE IN

RAQQA, THE CAPITAL OF ISIS

IN SYRIA, AND ALSO MOSUL

AND IRAQ.

THEY'RE TRYING TO EQUATE

BOMBINGS AGAINST ISIS IN

THOSE TWO CITIES WITH THIS

ATTACK, SAYING IT IS A

JUST ATTACK BECAUSE AFTER

ALL, BRITISH BOMBERS

KILLED INNOCENT CHILDREN

IN RAQQA AND MOSUL.

BUT WHAT THEY DON'T TELL

YOU IS WHEN BRITAIN AND

THE AMERICANS TARGET ISIS

IN THOSE CITIES, WHAT ISIS

DOES IS THEY USE THEIR

CHILDREN AS HUMAN SHIELDS.

SO THE DIFFERENCE HERE IS

IT'S NOT INTENTIONAL WHEN

WE GO AFTER ISIS.

ISIS INTENTIONALLY DID

THIS TO KILL CHILDREN.

Pat: WHAT IS BEING

SUGGESTED THAT BRITAIN CAN

DO TO PREVENT THIS?

Reporter: YOU KNOW,

PAT, THAT'S THE BIG

QUESTION, ISN'T IT?

PRESIDENT TRUMP SAID IT'S

AN ALL-OUT WAR AGAINST

ISIS.

HE HAS TRIED TO BRING ARAB

COUNTRIES TOGETHER IN THE

MIDDLE EAST TO COMBAT THEM

THERE IN THE MIDDLE EAST

BEFORE THEY GET TO EUROPE.

THE PROBLEM IS THEY ARE

ALREADY IN EUROPE.

I STOOD ON THE BORDER OF

HUNGARY AS 6,000 PEOPLE,

REFUGEES, WERE POURING

ACROSS THE BORDER INTO

HUNGARY.

HUNGARY FINALLY PUT A WALL

UP TO KEEP THEM OUT, AND

THE INTERNATIONAL

COMMUNITY SAID, HOW

HEARTLESS THAT HUNGARY

WOULD DO THAT TO THESE

REFUGEES.

WE REPORTED THAT ISIS SAID

THEY HAD 4400 JIHADISTS

THAT HAD IMMIGRATED INTO

THE REFUGEES.

AND THEY PROBABLY HAD EVEN

MORE THAN THAT.

HOW DO YOU STOP THIS?

THEY PROBABLY HAVE MORE

THAN 4400 IN EUROPE AT

THIS TIME.

THERE WILL BE MORE TO COME

BECAUSE AS WE TARGET THEM

IN RAQQA AND MOSUL, WHERE

ARE THEY GOING TO GO?

PRESIDENT TRUMP IS TRYING

TO CONTAIN THEM TO THOSE

AREAS, BUT MORE OF THEM

WILL BE COMING TO EUROPE

AND ELSEWHERE AROUND THE

WORLD.

Pat: GARY, THANK YOU

FOR THAT.

> WELL, THE MANCHESTER

ATTACK SERVED AS A GRIM

REMINDER OF THE THREAT

ISRAEL FACES FROM

PALESTINIAN TERRORISM.

AS CHRIS MITCHELL REPORTS,

THE BOMBINGS CHANGED THE

LANDSCAPE OF A CAREFULLY

CRAFTED SERIES OF MEETINGS

DURING DAY TWO OF

PRESIDENT TRUMP'S VISIT.

Chris: AT HIS MEETING

WITH PALESTINIAN PRESIDENT

MAHMOUD ABBAS IN

BETHLEHEM, THE PRESIDENT

ALTERED HIS PREPARED

REMARKS.

President Trump: TO

TERRORISTS AND EXTREMISTS,

AND THOSE WHO GIVE THEM

AID AND COMFORT, MUST BE

DRIVEN OUT FROM OUR

SOCIETY FOREVER.

Chris: FOLLOWING HIS

STRONG SPEECH AGAINST

TERRORISM IN SAUDI ARABIA,

PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS FIRED

UP OVER THE CARNAGE IN

MANCHESTER.

President Trump: THIS

IS WHAT I'VE SPENT THESE

LAST FEW DAYS TALKING

ABOUT DURING MY TRIP

OVERSEAS.

OUR SOCIETY CAN HAVE NO

TOLERANCE FOR THIS

CONTINUATION OF BLOODSHED.

WE CANNOT STAND A MOMENT

LONGER FOR THE SLAUGHTER

OF I IOCENT PEOPLE.

AND IN TODAY'S ATTACK, IT

WAS MOSTLY INNOCENT

CHILDREN.

Chris: THIS WAS

CLEARLY NOT THE SCRIPT

ABBAS HAD WRITTEN FOR HIS

TIME IN BETHLEHEM WITH THE

PRESIDENT, BUT IT WAS

TAILOR-MADE FOR BENJAMIN

NETANYAHU, WHO IS TRYING

TO MAKE THEM UNDERSTAND

ISRAEL CANNOT COMPROMISE.

JUST LAST WEEK CBN NEWS

REPORTED ON THE

PALESTINIAN PRACTICE OF

PAYING TERRORISTS'

SALARIES WITH U.S. TAX

DOLLARS.

IITZAMAR SAID ONE TERRORIST

WAS KNOWN AS THE

REFRIGERATOR BOMBER.

HE TOOK A REFRIGERATOR,

AND BROUGHT IT TO THE

CENTER OF JERUSALEM,

FILLED IT WITH EXPLOSIVES,

AND DETONATED IT, KILLING

15 ISRAELIS.

THAT MAKES HIM A

PALESTINIAN HERO, AND

THERE IS A SQUARE IN THIS

NAME.

BASICALLY ANYONE WHO HAS

KILLED A LARGE NUMBER OF

ISRAELIS IS PRESENTED BY

THE PALESTINIAN LEADERSHIP

AS A HERO TO THEIR PEOPLE.

Chris: FROM

BETHLEHEM, ISRAEL'S

MEMORIAL TO VICTIMS OF THE

ULTIMATE ACT OF MASS

TERRORISM, THE HOLOCAUST.

President Trump:

TWO-THIRDS OF THE JEWS IN

EUROPE WERE SENT TO THEIR

DEATHS.

WORDS CAN NEVER DESCRIBE

THE BOTTOMLESS DEPTHS OF

THAT EVIL, OR THE SCOPE OF

THE ANGUISH AND

DESTRUCTION.

Chris: A SOMETIMES

VISIBLY MOVED NETANYAHU

THANKED THE PRESIDENT ON

BEHALF OF THE ISRAELI

PEOPLE.

IT WAS THE FINAL SPEECH OF

HIS ISRAEL TRIP AT THE

ISRAEL MUSEUM, WHERE THE

PRESIDENT REALLY CONNECTED

WITH ISRAELIS, SCORING A

DIRECT BULL'S EYE.

President Trump:

ISRAELIS HAVE EXPERIENCED

FIRSTHAND THE HATRED AND

TERROR OF RADICAL

VIOLENCE.

ISRAELIS ARE MURDERED BY

TERRORISTS WIELDING KNIVES

AND BOMBS.

HAMAS AND HEZBOLLAH LAUNCH

ROCKETS INTO ISRAELI

COMMUNITIES WHERE SCHOOL

CHILDREN HAVE TO BE

TRAINED TO HEAR THE SIRENS

AND TO RUN TO THE BOMB

SHELTERS WITH FEAR BUT

WITH SPEED.

ISIS TARGETS JEWISH

NEIGHBORHOODS, SIN GOTION,

AND SUFFERENCE, AND IRAN'S

LEADERS ROUTINELY CALL FOR

ISRAEL'S DESTRUCTION.

NOT WITH DONALD J.TRUMP.

[APPLAUSE]

Pat: MAN, HE HAD IT

ON THAT ONE.

I WANT TO GIVE YOU A

LITTLE BACKGROUND BEFORE

WE GO INTO OUR INTERVIEW

WITH DAVID ORRIN.

IT IS SO IMPORTANT.

IN 1948, THE NEW NATION OF

ISRAEL CAME FORTH.

ON THAT DAY THAT IT WAS

ANNOUNCED THE ARAB NATIONS

SURROUNDING ISRAEL SAID,

WE WILL DESTROY THIS

FLEDGLING STATE NOW.

WE'RE GOING TO ANNOUNCE A

WAR NOW.

AND THEY TOLD THEIR PEOPLE

LIVING IN CERTAINLY

NORTHERN ISRAEL, TEL AVIV

AND OTHER PLACES -- THEY

SAID, YOU LEAVE YOUR HOMES

AND GET OUT OF THE WAR

ZONE, BECAUSE AS SOON AS

WE'VE BEATEN THESE JEWS,

YOU CAN COME BACK IN AND

YOUR HOMES WILL BE THERE.

WELL, THE ARABS TOOK OFF,

ABANDONED THEIR PROPERTY,

AND WAITED FOR THE VICTORY

OF THE ARAB FORCES.

INSTEAD OF THEIR WINNING,

THE JEWS WON.

THE ISRAELIS WON AND BEAT

THE ARABS.

AND THAT FLEDGLING

BEGINNING OF THEIR

DEMOCRACY.

WELL, EVER SINCE, THERE

HAS BEEN A UNITED NATIONS

ORGANIZATION THAT HAS KEPT

THEM IN ESSENTIALLY

BONDAGE AND SERVITUDE, AND

THEY HAVE PROCLAIMED

SOMETHING CALLED "THE

RIGHT OF RETURN."

AND THEY HAVE SAID TO

THEM, AND THAT'S WHAT THEY

BELIEVE IN, IS THAT THEY

HAVE A RIGHT TO COME BACK

TO THE PROPERTY THAT THEY

ABANDONED AT THE BEGINNING

OF THAT WAR.

AND THEY'VE ALSO SAID THAT

WE CAN NOW BRING NOT ONLY

OURSELVES, WE CAN BRING

OUR RELATIVES, OUR

IN-LAWS, OUR CHILDREN, OUR

GRANDCHILDREN, OUR

GREAT-GRANDCHILDREN, AND

ALL OF THESE PEOPLE, AND

WE CAN COME BACK AND HAVE

A PLACE GIVEN TO US IN

ISRAEL.

NOW THAT WOULD, OF COURSE,

MEAN THAT ISRAEL WAS NO

LONGER A JEWISH COUNTRY.

IT WOULD BE AN ARAB

COUNTRY.

AND THIS IS THE STICKING

POINT: THE RIGHT OF

RETURN.

THIS IS THE HEART OF IT.

PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS TALKED

ABOUT TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH

WHAT SO MANY HAVE FAILED

TO DO: TO BRING A

SUCCESSFUL PEACE DEAL.

OUR CBN NEWS CORRESPONDENT

DAVID BRODY IS TRAVELLING

WITH THE PRESIDENT.

HE BRINGS US THAT STORY

FROM JERUSALEM.

David: DEEP IN THE

MIDDLE EAST, PEACE IN THE

MIDDLE EAST, HOW MANY

TIMES HAVE WE HEARD THAT

BEFORE.

BUT CAN THINGS BE

DIFFERENT NOW THAT

PRESIDENT TRUMP IS ON THE

SCENE?

BEFORE DONALD TRUMP BECAME

PRESIDENT, HE WAS KNOWN AS

ONE OF THE BEST

DEAL-MAKERS IN THE ENTIRE

WORLD.

NOW HE HAS COME TO ISRAEL,

HOPING FOR WHAT HE CALLS

THE ULTIMATE DEAL: PEACE

BETWEEN THE ISRAELIS AND

THE PALESTINIANS.

IT IS NOT GOING TO BE AN

EASY TASK.

PLENTY OF STUMBLING BLOCKS

AHEAD.

BUT ONE THING IS FOR SURE:

ALL ROADS LEAD THROUGH

JERUSALEM.

IT IS THE ULTIMATE

STUMBLING BLOCK IN ANY

TWO-STATE SOLUTION.

BOTH THE PALESTINIANS AND

THE ISRAELIS SEE THE HOLY

CITY AS THEIR CAPITAL.

AS A CANDIDATE, TRUMP TOLD

CBN NEWS HE WAS READY TO

MOVE THE U.S. EMBASSY FROM

TEL AVIV TO JERUSALEM.

President Trump: I AM

FOR THAT 100%.

David: AS PRESIDENT,

HOWEVER, HE DIALED THAT

BACK IN OUR INTERVIEW IN

JANUARY.

President Trump:

THERE IS CERTAINLY A

CHANCE OF IT, ABSOLUTELY.

BUT WE'RE GOING TO BE --

WE'RE DOING VERY DETAILED

STUDIES ON THAT.

I HATE TO DO THAT BECAUSE

THAT'S NOT USUALLY ME,

STUDIES.

David: RIGHT.

President Trump:

USUALLY I DO WHAT'S RIGHT,

BUT THIS HAS TWO SIDES TO

IT.

IT IS NOT EASY.

David: THAT'S

BECAUSE A PROVOCATIVE MOVE

LIKE THAT MIGHT DISRUPT

THE PEACE PROCESS BEFORE

IT EVEN GETS GOING.

SO THIS TRIP, WITH NO

EMBASSY ANNOUNCEMENT,

DEFINITELY DID POINTED

MANY ISRAELIS AND

EVANGELICAL SUPPORTERS

BACK IN THE UNITED STATES.

HE DID MAKE HISTORY,

THOUGH, BECOMING THE FIRST

SITTING PRESIDENT TO VISIT

THE WESTERN WALL.

SOME SEE THAT AS A

POSITIVE SIGNAL, ALTHOUGH

SOME IN THE TRUMP

ADMINISTRATION WON'T ADMIT

THE WALL IS PART OF

ISRAEL.

IT IS ALL PART OF A VERY

SENSITIVE PROCESS.

President Trump: IT'S

NOT EASY.

I'VE HEARD IT IS ONE OF

THE TOUGHEST DEALS OF ALL.

BUT I HAVE A FEELING THAT

WE'RE GOING TO GET THERE

EVENTUALLY.

I HOPE.

I DO LOOK FORWARD TO

OUR RELATIONSHIP.

David: THE HOPE

COMES FROM AN UNLIKELY

CUSTOMER: IRAN.

THE ADMINISTRATION

BELIEVES THAT ARAB

NATIONS, LIKE SAUDI

ARABIA, WOULD BE WILLING

TO WORK MORE CLOSELY WITH

ISRAEL AND STAND TOGETHER

AGAINST THE COMMON ENEMY,

THUS ADVANCING THE PEACE

PROCESS.

HE WANTS TO ACHIEVE IT

AS SOMETHING BIG.

THAT NO PREVIOUS PRESIDENT

HAS BEEN ABLE TO SOLVE.

BUT REALITIES ARE

REALITIES.

NOT JUST IN OUR POLITICS

HERE IN THE UNITED STATES,

BUT IN THE MIDDLE EAST.

David: THE PRESIDENT

KNOWS HE'LL HAVE HIS HANDS

FULL IN GETTING THE

PALESTINIANS TO THE

NEGOTIATING TABLE.

HIS MEETING IN BETHLEHEM

WITH PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY

PRESIDENT MAHMOUD ABBAS

WAS AN ATTEMPT TO SEE

WHAT'S POSSIBLE.

THE PROBLEM IS NOT

BETWEEN US AND THE

JUDAISM.

IT IS BETWEEN US AND

OCCUPATION.

David: FOR HIS PART,

PRESIDENT TRUMP IS KEEPING

HIS CARDS CLOSE TO THE

VEST.

HE HASN'T SIGNALLED YET

WHAT THAT PEACE PROCESS

PLAN WILL BE LIKE EXACTLY,

AND THAT'S DONE

INTENTIONALLY.

IT IS PART OF HIS

DEAL-MAKING D.N.A.

THE QUESTION THEN BECOMES:

WILL HIS DEAL-MAKING AND

HIS BIG IMPORTANT BE

ENOUGH TO PUSH THIS

PROCESS OVER THE FINISH

LINE.

DAVID BRODY, CBN NEWS,

JERUSALEM.

Pat: WE WANT TO

REMIND YOU AS DAVID BRODY

TRAVELS WITH THE

PRESIDENT, YOU CAN FOLLOW

OUR COVERAGE OF TRUMP'S

HISTORIC INTERNATIONAL

TRIP ON cbnnews.com.

> WELL, OUR MIDDLE EAST

BUREAU CHIEF CHRIS

MITCHELL IS WITH US NOW

FROM JERUSALEM.

I MENTIONED EARLIER THE

SO-CALLED "RIGHT OF

RETURN."

PEOPLE IN THIS AUDIENCE IS

PROBABLY NOT TOO FAMILIAR

WITH IT.

TELL US WHAT YOU KNOW

ABOUT THAT.

Chris: PAT, I THINK

YOU EXPLAINED IT VERY

WELL, IN 1948, WHEN THE

ARAB NATIONS TOLD THE

ARABS TO LEAVE BECAUSE

THEY WERE GOING TO

ANNIHILATE THE JEWISH

STATE AND PUSH THEM INTO

THE SEA, THEY COULD RETURN

ONCE THEY HAD DEFEATED

ISRAEL.

WELL, THAT WAS 69 YEARS

AGO, AND THEY STILL

HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO COME

BACK.

WHAT YOU CAN SEE ON THE

U.N. REFUGEE CAMPS IS

THESE LARGE KEYS, AND

THAT'S SYMBOLIC THAT ONE

DAY THEY'LL BE ABLE TO

COME BACK TO THEIR HOMES.

IT WOULD BE DEMOGRAPHIC

SUICIDE FOR THE JEWISH

STATE.

BUT IT IS SOMETHING THAT

THE PALESTINIANS WILL

NEVER GIVE UP.

SO THIS IS PART OF THE

DIFFICULTY THAT DONALD

TRUMP IS GOING TO HAVE.

PAT, I WANT TO SHOW YOU

TWO THINGS TODAY.

FIRST OF ALL, THIS WAS IN

THE JERUSALEM POST, AND IT

SAYS "IT'S A TOUGH DEAL,

BUT WE WILL GET IT DONE."

THAT'S WHAT PRESIDENT

TRUMP HAS TO DEAL WITH.

ONE OTHER THING, PAT.

I REREAD YOUR SPEECH IN

2004 TO THE HERZOLIA ON

FRENS.

CONFERENCE.

I WANT TO JUST READ ONE

LINE IN THIS SPEECH THAT

YOU GAVE.

IT SAYS: "THE SLOGAN LAND

FOR PEACE IS REALLY AN

ILLUSION."

THAT'S ANOTHER THING THAT

WILL BE VERY DIFFICULT FOR

DONALD TRUMP TO OVERCOME

WHEN THEY TRY TO TAKE

ABOUT THE WEST BANK, THOSE

PROVERBIAL 1967 BORDERS.

Pat: PRESIDENT TRUMP

MET WITH PALESTINIAN

AUTHORITY MAHMOUD ABBAS,

AND THEY BOTH DENOUNCED

THE MANCHESTER BOMBING.

WHAT IS THE REALITY INSIDE

THE PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY?

Chris: HE CONDEMNED

THE BOMBING IN MANCHESTER,

AND AT THE SAME TIME, HE

PAYS FAMILIES OF

TERRORISTS FOR KILLING

ISRAELIS.

THERE WAS A WOMAN WHO

PARTICIPATED IN THE 1978

TERROR ATTACK THAT KILLED

12 CHILDREN, 25 ADULTS,

ONE OF THE WORST TERROR

ATTACKS IN ISRAEL'S

HISTORY.

AND THERE ARE FOUR SCHOOLS

NAMED AFTER HER.

AND THAT GOES OVER AND

OVER, WHETHER IT IS

STREETS OR SQUARES,

THEY'RE NAMED AFTER

PALESTINIAN TERRORISTS.

FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP TO BE

THERE, HE HAS TO RECOGNIZE

THAT MAHMOUD ABBAS IS SORT

OF PLAYING A DOUBLE GAME.

HE SAYS THEY TEACH A

CULTURE OF PEACE TO THEIR

CHILDREN AND

GRANDCHILDREN, BUT IF YOU

LOOK AT THE PALESTINIAN

MEDIA, IF YOU LOOK AT THE

NAMES OF THEIR SCHOOLS,

SQUARES, AND STREETS, IT

IS ANOTHER DIFFERENT

STORY.

Pat: CHRIS, AHOUD,

WHEN HE WAS PRESIDENT FOR

A SHORT TIME, MADE A

PROPOSAL, AS I UNDERSTAND

IT, TO GIVE HALF OF

JERUSALEM TO THE

PALESTINIANS AS THEIR

CAPITAL.

I DON'T THINK THEY REALLY

WANT TO DO THAT.

WHAT IS YOUR UNDERSTANDING

ABOUT DIVIDING JERUSALEM?

Chris: I DON'T THINK

THEY'RE GOING TO DO THAT.

I WAS DOWN THERE WITH

DAVID BRODY, AND WE DID A

Facebook LIVE, AND WHEN

WE WERE DOWN THERE, WE

WERE LOOKING AT THE SAME

WALL THAT PARATROOPERS

WERE THERE 50 YEARS AGO,

THAT LIBERATED JERUSALEM

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN OVER

2,000 YEARS.

AND TODAY YOU CAN SEE

FLAGS FLYING BEHIND ME,

ISRAELI FLAGS, AND THEY'RE

CELEBRATING JERUSALEM DAY,

CELEBRATING THAT VICTORY

50 YEARS AGO.

I DON'T THINK THEY'RE

GOING TO GIVE IT UP.

THAT'S THE REASON -- IF

ANYBODY HASN'T SIGNED UP

FOR THIS FATHOM EVENT, "IN

OUR HANDS: THE BATTLE FOR

JERUSALEM," AND IT AIRS

AROUND THE COUNTRY

TONIGHT.

THERE IS A SAYING, "IF YOU

DON'T KNOW THE HISTORY,

YOU CAN'T UNDERSTAND THE

HEADLINES."

THEIR RECAPTURE, AND THE

LIBERATION OF THE CITY OF

JERUSALEM, 50 YEYEYEYEYEYEYEYEYEYEYE

> WELL, TERRY, WHAT'S

NEXT?

Terry: UP NEXT, HE IS

ISRAEL'S FORMER AMBASSADOR

TO THE UNITED STATES AND

ONE OF THE FOREMOST

EXPERTS ON MIDDLE EAST

HISTORY.

MICHAEL ORRIN TELLS PAT

ROBERTSON ABOUT THE SMALL

WAR THAT CHANGED THE

WORLD.

AND THAT'S

AND THAT'S

Pat: WELL, ISRAEL IS

CELEBRATING THE 50th

ANNIVERSARY OF THE

REUNIFICATION OF JERUSALEM

IN WHAT WAS CALLED THE

SIX-DAY WAR.

THE BOOK ABOUT IT IS

CALLED "SIX DAYS OF WAR."

THE AUTHOR IS A MAN NAMED

MICHAEL OREN.

WELL, JUST A FEW DAYS AGO,

I TALKED WITH MICHAEL OREN

IN JERUSALEM.

AND, AS I SAY, 15 YEARS

AGO HE PUBLISHED THIS

BOOK.

AND I ASKED HIM HOW THAT

WAR HAD CHANGED THE

PERCEPTION OF ISRAEL IN

THE WORLD.

BEFORE 1967, PAT,

ISRAEL WAS A TINY COUNTRY.

IT WAS ONLY NINE MILES

WIDE WITH 2.5 MILLION

PEOPLE.

MANY OF THEM SURVIVORS OF

THE HOLOCAUST, REFUGEES

FROM OPPRESSION IN ARAB

LANDS, AND SURROUNDED ON

ALL SIDES BY ARMIES THAT

WANTED TO THROW THAT STATE

INTO THE SEA.

ISRAEL WAS INTERNATIONALLY

ISOLATED.

CHINA WAS A HOSTILE

COUNTRY.

INDIA WAS A HOSTILE

COUNTRY.

YOU AND I ARE OLD ENOUGH

TO REMEMBER A PLACE CALLED

THE SOVIET UNION AND THE

SOVIET BLOCK, WHICH HAD 12

COUNTRIES, ALL HOSTILE.

THE UNITED STATES WAS A

FRIENDLY COUNTRY, BUT NOT

AN ALLY COUNTRY.

THE ISRAELIS WOULD FIDE FIGHT

THAT SIX-DAY WAR WITHOUT A

SINGLE AMERICAN BULLET,

AND THE ISRAEL HAD ONE

ALLY ALONE, AND THAT WAS

FRANCE.

AND ON THE EVE OF THE WAR,

THE FRENCH SWITCHED SIDES.

THEY WERE COMPLETELY,

COMPLETELY ALONE.

YOU LOOK AT ISRAEL TODAY

WITH A FLOURISHING

RELATIONSHIP WITH CHINA

AND INDIA, A GOOD

RELATIONSHIP WITH RUSSIA.

WITH THE FORMER SOVIET

BLOCK COUNTRIES.

PEACE WITH JORDAN, PEACE

WITH EGYPT, AND GOOD

RELATIONS WITH SUNNI ARAB

STATES IN THE GULF.

AND PERHAPS THE DEEPEST

AND MOST MULTI-FACETED

ALLIANCE THAT THE UNITED

STATES HAS HAD.

IF YOU LOOK AT THIS FROM

AN HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE,

IT IS NOTHING SHORT OF

MIRACULOUS.

Pat: LET ME ASK YOU

ABOUT THAT THING THAT THE

UNITED NATIONS -- THE

UNITED NATIONS WORKS

ADMINISTRATION THAT IS

STILL HOLDING A NUMBER OF

PALESTINIANS AND THEY HAVE

WHAT IS CALLED "A RIGHT OF

RETURN."

ARE THEY STILL HOLDING ON

TO THAT?

OOH, ARE THEY EVER.

ARE THEY EVER.

THERE IS ONLY -- IF THE

U.N. HUMAN RIGHTS AND WORK

RELIEF AGENCY, UNRA, IS

THE ONLY U.N. ORGANIZATION

THAT EXISTS FOR ONE

REFUGEE PROBLEM.

ALL OF THE REFUGEE

PROBLEMS IN THE WORLD ARE

HANDLED BY THE U.N. HIGH

COMMISSIONER.

ONLY UNDER UNRA IS THE

REFUGEE STATUS PASSED ON

FROM FATHER TO SON AND ON

WARDS.

THE GRANDCHILDREN, THE

GREAT GRANDCHILDREN OF

PALESTINIAN REFUGEES FROM

1948 ARE STILL CONSIDERED

REFUGEES BY THIS ONE U.N.

AGENCY.

IT IS THE ONLY CASE IN THE

WORLD.

AND IT COSTS AMERICAN

TAXPAYERS MANY -- DOZENS

OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS

EVERY YEAR.

Pat: WELL, NOW, THE

WHOLE IDEA IS THAT THOSE

GRANDCHILDREN,

GREAT-GRANDCHILDREN, AND

ALL OF THE REST OF THEM,

ACCORDING TO UNRA, HAVE A

RIGHT TO RETURN AND TAKE

UP RESIDENCE IN ISRAEL?

IS THAT THE PLAN?

WELL, RESOLUTION 194

SAYS THAT PALESTINIAN

REFUGEES CAN RETURN WITH

THE PR PRO VICE SAL THEY

ACCEPT ISRAELI AUTHORITY.

BUT THE PALESTINIAN

AUTHORITY HAS NEVER

ABANDONED THE DEMAND FOR

REFUGEE RETURN.

ALL OF THE DESCENDENTS,

AND THERE ARE ABOUT SIX TO

EIGHT MILLION OF THEM,

WERE THEY TO RETURN, IT

WOULDN'T BE A JEWISH

STATE; IT WOULD BE A

PALESTINIAN STATE.

AND THEY WILL NOT

RECOGNIZE ISRAEL AS THE

JEWISH STATE BECAUSE THEY

WANT SOME DAY AN ISRAEL

WITH A PALESTINIAN

MAJORITY.

Pat: HOW MANY

OVERTURES HAVE BEEN MADE

BY ISRAEL TO THE

PALESTINIANS TO MAKE SOME

KIND OF AN ARRANGEMENT

WITH THEM?

THEIR OWN STATE OR THEIR

OWN SOVEREIGNTY?

HOW MUCH TIME DO WE

HAVE FOR THIS BROADCAST?

IT GOES BACK TO 1937, WHEN

THE BRITISH FIRST PROPOSED

TWTWO-STATE SOLUTION, AND

THE ARABS REJECTED IT.

1947, THE U.N. PROPOSED A

TWO-STATE SOLUTION.

THE ARABS REJECTED IT.

YOU CAN SAY THAT JIMMY

CARTER, IN 1979, AS PART

OF THE CAMP DAVID PROCESS,

PROPOSED A TW TWO-STATE

SOLUTION.

THE ARABS REJECTED IT.

THEN IN 2000, BILL CLINTON

MADE THAT PROPOSAL TO

YASSER ARAFAT, AND ARAFAT

REJECTED IT.

AND 2008, THEY MADE THAT

PROPOSAL TO PALESTINIAN

PRESIDENT MAHMOUD ABBAS,

AND HE WALKED AWAY FROM

IT.

AND THAT WAS JUST THE

FORMAL OFFERS.

IN BETWEEN THERE WERE MANY

NEGOTIATIONS.

I WAS PART OF THOSE

NEGOTIATIONS.

I WILL TELL YOU THAT

ISRAEL MADE A DEEPLY

GOOD-FAITH EFFORT TO TRY

TO GET THE PROCESS MOVING.

AND FOR EIGHT YEARS NOW

THE PALESTINIANS HAVE EVEN

REFUSED TO NEGOTIATE WITH

US, NEVER MIND CONSIDER

ANY POSSIBLE PEACE DEAL.

Pat: IS THERE A

SOLUTION?

YOU KNOW, THEY USED TO

BELONG TO JORDAN AT ONE

TIME AND HAD JORDANIAN

CITIZENSHIP.

IT LOOKED LIKE THAT TWO

STATE DEAL IS NOT GOING TO

WORK.

IT DEPENDS ON THE WAY

YOU DEFINE "SOLUTION."

IT IS A MIDDLE EASTERN

SOLUTION.

AND MIDDLE EASTERN

SOLUTIONS AREN'T

NECESSARILY BASED ON

WRITTEN TREATIES.

THEY'RE BAF BASED ON

UNDERSTANDING.

AGAIN, A SENSE THAT THIS

IS YOURS AND THIS IS MINE.

IT IS VERY, VERY INFORMAL.

AND IF WE LOCK OURSELVES

INTO THIS VERY WESTERN

FORMAL, DRAWING A BORDER,

CALLING A STATE A STATE,

WE'RE NOT GOING TO GET

ANYWHERE.

90% OF THE PALESTINIANS

NEVER COME INTO CONTACT

WITH AN ISRAEL.

THEY RUN THEIR OWN

AFFAIRS.

IT IS OUR INTEREST TO TRY

TO TAKE THAT SITUATION --

I SOMETIMES REFER TO IT AS

A TWO-STATE SITUATION, NOT

A TWO-STATE SOLUTION.

WE MAKE LIFE BETTER FOR

EVERYBODY, ISRAELIS AND

PALESTINIANS ALIKE.

IF WE'RE REALISTIC AND

SEEK MIDDLE EASTERN

APPROACHES, THEN WE CAN

HAVE A MIL MIDDLE EASTERN

SOLUTION.

Pat: WE HAVE A FILM

WE JUST PRODUCED AT CBN

CALLED "IN OUR HANDS."

IT HAS TO DO WITH THAT

SIX-DAY WAR YOU WROTE SO

BRILLIANTLY ABOUT.

HAVE YOU HAD A CHANCE TO

SEE IT?

I THINK I'M IN IT, SO I

HAVEN'T SEEN IT YET.

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE WHAT I

LOOK LIKE.

Pat: THERE IS GOING

TO BE A CELEBRATION OF THE

UNITING OF THAT THING, THE

50th ANNIVERSARY THAT IS

COMING UP.

IS THERE ANY PARTICULAR

CELEBRATION WE OUGHT TO

KNOW ABOUT?

THERE WILL BE

CELEBRATIONS THROUGHOUT

THE CITY.

AT NIGHT, ON THE WALLS OF

THE OLD CITY, WE'VE BEEN

PROJECTING HUGE CLOCKS.

AND THE CLOCKS BASICALLY

HAVE A COUNTDOWN TO THE

50th ANNIVERSARY OF THE

REUNIFICATION OF

JERUSALEM.

IT IS HARD TO IMAGINE A

TIME WHEN THIS CITY WAS

DIVIDED, THERE WAS A BIG

WALL BETWEEN IT, AND JEWS

WERE UNABLE TO PRAY AT OUR

HOLIEST SITES.

WE WERE UNABLE TO VISIT

THE MOUNT OF OLIVES, THE

OLDEST AND HOLIEST OF

JEWISH CEMETERIES IN THE

WORLD.

TODAY THE CITY IS OPEN.

IT IS FLOURISHING.

AND THERE IS GREAT REASON

TO CELEBRATE.

AND ISRAELIS AND

SUPPORTERS OF JERUSALEM

FROM AROUND THE WORLD,

JEWS AND CHRISTIANS, WILL

BE FLOCKING TO THIS CITY

IN THE HUNDREDS OF

THOUSANDS TO CELEBRATE

THIS MOMENTOUS JUBILEE

OCCASION.

Pat: MICHAEL OREN, A

TREMENDOUS GUY AND A

WONDERFUL WRITER.

HE HAS A BOOK -- I DON'T

KNOW IF IT IS STILL IN

PRINT -- I SUPPOSE IT

IS -- "SIX DAYS OF WAR."

A GREAT BOOK.

Terry: TONIGHT IS THE

NIGHT, "IN OUR HANDS: THE

BATTLE FOR JERUSALEM" HITS

THEATERS ALL ACROSS THE

COUNTRY.

TO FIND OUT WHERE IT IS

PLAYING IN YOUR AREA, GO

TO inourhands1967.com.

YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS IT.

> UP NEXT, HE IS THE SON

OF A HALL OF FAME FOOTBALL

PLAYER AND HE IS TRYING TO

MAKE A NAME FOR HIMSELF.

YOUR PURPOSE AND

CALLING IS HIGHER THAN

THAT OF AN ATHLETE.

Terry: CBN SPORTS

SITS DOWN WITH PATRIOTS'

CAPTAIN MICHAEL SLATER,

AND THAT'S NEXT.

Terry: MATTHEW SLATER

HAS A PLACE IN NFL ALORE.

WHEN THE "SUPERBOOK SUPER BOWL WENT

NINTO OVERTIME, HE GUESSED

RIGHT.

AND HIS TEAM WON THE

CHAMPIONSHIP.

HE SAT DOWN WITH SEAN

BROWN AND TOLD HIM THE

REST OF HIS CAREER DIDN'T

HAPPEN BY CHANCE.

Reporter: MATTHEW

SLATER IS ONE OF THE NFL'S

MOST RESPECTED PLAYERS.

HE IS A TWO-TIME SUPER

BOWL CHAMPION AND A

SIX-TIME PRO BOWL

CHAMPION.

MATT SAYS HE REMEMBERS A

TIME IN COLLEGE WHEN HE

CONSIDERED LEAVING THE

SPORT HE LOVES.

I WAS PREPARED TO

TRANSITION AWAY FROM THE

GAME OF FOOTBALL BECAUSE I

DIDN'T KNOW WHAT MY

OPPORTUNITY WOULD BE AT

THE NEXT LEVEL.

BUT I THINK THROUGH THAT

GOD KIND OF SHOWED ME,

HEY, YOU'RE NOT MATTHEW

SLATER THE FOOTBALL

PLAYER.

YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND

THAT YOU'RE MINE AND YOUR

PURPOSE AND CALLING IS

HIGHER THAN THAT OF AN

ATHLETE.

Reporter: MATTHEW

GREW UP IN SOUTHERN

CALIFORNIA, THE SON OF

FOOTBALL HALL-OF-FAMER

JACKIE SLATER.

HIS MOM AND DAD RAISED HIM

WITH STRONG CHRISTIAN

VALUES.

SEVEN YEARS OLD, I

REMEMBER MY DAD SITTING

DOWN AND LAYING DOWN THE

PLAN FOR SALVATION,

TELLING ME WHO JESUS WAS

AND WHY I NEEDED HIM.

UNDERSTANDING WHO I WAS

AND WHO GOD WAS.

Reporter: MATTHEW WAS

A STANDOUT IN FOOTBALL AND

TRACK IN HIGH SCHOOL.

BUT THE TIME HE WENT TO

UCLA ON A FOOTBALL

SCHOLARSHIP, LIFE WAS ALL

ABOUT HIM AND WHAT HE

COULD DO ON THE FOOTBALL

FIELD.

FOR ME, FOOTBALL WAS

REALLY A STRUGGLE.

WHEN I WENT INTO COLLEGE,

A LOT OF MY IDENTITY WAS

TIED UP IN BEING A

FOOTBALL PLAYER, THE SON

OF A FOOTBALL PLAYER.

Reporter: DID YOU

EVER FEEL PRESSURE TO LIVE

UP TO HIS LIKENESS?

OBVIOUSLY YOU PLAYED

DIFFERENT POSITIONS.

I DID, BUT NOT FROM

HIM, THOUGH.

I KIND OF PUT THAT

PRESSURE ON MYSELF.

AND I THINK PEOPLE HAD

IDEAS.

HIS LEVEL OF PLAY IS

SUPPOSED TO BE THIS.

Reporter: BUT WHEN

MATTHEW MISSED HIS ENTIRE

FRESHMAN SEASON BECAUSE OF

INJURIES, HE BECAME ANGRY

BECAUSE HIS FOOTBALL

CAREER WASN'T GOING AS

PLANNED.

SO HE ASKED GOD FOR AN

EXPLANATION.

I WAS KIND OF JUST

LIKE, WHAT I AM DOING

HERE.

LORD, I HAD THESE PLANS,

AND THIS IS HOW IT WAS

SUPPOSED TO GO, AND IT WAS

GOING THAT WAY.

I WAS REALLY ASKING WHY,

WHY AM I NOT BENEFITING

PERSONALLY.

Reporter: THAT'S WHEN

MATTHEW CONSIDERED WALKING

AWAY FROM THE GAME, UNTIL

HE REALIZED THAT THE

PROBLEM WAS HIMSELF.

I THINK FOR ME IT WAS

ME.

WE TALK ABOUT IDOLS AND

OTHER THINGS.

AND IT WAS FOOTBALL.

IT WAS MY STATUS AS AN

ATHLETE.

IT WAS HOW PEOPLE VIEWED

ME.

IT WAS MAN-PLEASING.

Reporter: THAT NIGHT

MATTHEW CALLED HIS FATHER.

MY DAD KIND OF JUST

SHARED SCRIPTURE WITH ME

AND TALKED WITH ME AND

HELPED ME SEE AND

UNDERSTAND THAT, HEY, IT

IS NOT ABOUT YOU ALL THE

TIME, SON.

SOMETIMES THE LORD HAS

PLANS FOR YOUR LIFE THAT

YOU CAN'T EVEN SEE AND

UNDERSTAND.

Reporter: IT WAS THEN

THAT HE DECIDED TO FOLLOW

GOD'S PURPOSE FOR HIS

LIFE.

Reporter: HOW DID YOU

CHANGE AFTER YOU MADE THAT

DECISION TO LIVE

WHOLEHEARTEDLY FOR CHRIST?

WHAT CHANGED?

I WAS A LITTLE MORE

FREE AND AT PEACE WITH THE

LORD'S WILL.

I DIDN'T WRESTLE WITH GOD

AS MUCH AS I DID, HOW I

WANTED TO DO THINGS.

I THINK THAT PEACE AND

FREEDOM WAS REALLY LIKE A

WEIGHT LIFTED OFF MY

SHOULDERS.

Reporter: RIGHT.

I JUST FELT LIKE A

DIFFERENT PERSON ALL

TOGETHER.

NO QUESTION.

Reporter: AFTER HIS

SENIOR YEAR, MATTHEW

ENTERED THE 2008 NFL

DRAFT, KNOWING AT THE END

OF THE DAY, IT WAS IN

GOD'S HANDS.

AND HE WAS SELECTED IN THE

FIFTH ROUND BY NEW

ENGLAND.

SINCE THEN, HE HAS PROVEN

THAT HE IS HIS OWN MAN,

ONE THAT IS NOT DEFINED BY

HIS ACCOMPLISHMENTS ON THE

FIELD.

> WHEN PEOPLE INTRODUCE,

THEY'RE GOING TO SAY,

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,

MATTHEW SLATER, TWO TIMES

SUPER BOWL CHAMPION,

SIX-TIME PRO BOWLER.

THAT'S THE WAY THEY'RE

GOING TO INTRODUCE YOU.

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE

YOURSELF?

YOU KNOW, I WOULD LIKE

TO BE INTRODUCED AS

MATTHEW SLATER, FOLLOWER

OF CHRIST, A GOOD HUSBAND,

AND WHO FOLLOWS JEREMIAH.

THOSE ARE THE THINGS I

VALUE MOST.

I'M PROUD OF WHAT I'VE

ACCOMPLISHED ON THE

FOOTBALL FIELD, I'VE BEEN

EXTREMELY BLESSED, BUT IT

IS NOT WHO I AM.

Reporter: NOW AS A

TEAM CAPTAIN, MATTHEW

UNDERSTANDS THE ROLE THAT

GOD HAS GIVEN HIM AS A

LEADER ON THE FIELD AND IN

THE COMMUNITY.

WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT

LEADERSHIP ON THAT TEAM, I

THINK I'M THERE TO SERVE.

I LOOK AT LEADERSHIP AND

HOW IT IS BEST MODELED AND

IT IS THROUGH JESUS

CHRIST.

THEY CAME TO SERVE.

HE SERVED PEOPLE.

I'VE ALWAYS TRIED TO BE

TRANSPARENT AND JUST SERVE

PEOPLE.

THAT'S WHAT I REALLY FEEL

LIKE I'M HERE FOR.

IT HAS NEVER REALLY BEEN

ABOUT FOOTBALL.

THAT'S JUST A BY-PRODUCT,

THINK.

IT IS ABOUT BUILDING

RELATIONSHIPS AND THE LORD

HAS PUT ME HERE TO MAKE

HIS NAME MORE FAMOUS.

ULTIMATELY, THAT IS MY

PURPOSE IN LIFE: TO SERVE

AND POINT THE FINGER IN

THE DIRECTION OF JESUS

CHRIST.

Terry: ISN'T THAT

REFRESHING AND INSPIRING.

MATTHEW SLATER GETS IT: TO

BE A GREAT LEADER, YOU

HAVE TO BE A GREAT

SERVANT.

BOY, SOME OF THESE

ATHLETES ARE JUST SO ON

THE MONEY.

IT IS WONDERFUL TO HEAR

THEM SHARE THAT.

Pat: I HAVE TO GIVE

CREDIT TO THOSE MAMAS AND

GRANDMAMAS, WHO BRING THEM

UP.

Terry: STILL AHEAD,

WE'RE GOING TO BE TAKING

QUESTIONS FROM YOU, OUR

VIEWERS.

JULIE SAYS, "I'M A

69-YEAR-OLD WIDOW.

I WANT TO MEET ANOTHER

CHRISTIAN WIDOWER.

DOES IT SHOW A LACK OF

TRUST IN GOD IF I GO ON A

DATING WEBSITE?"

WE'LL TACKLE THAT AND MORE

AND THAT'S LATER ON

TODAY'S SHOW.

Efrem: AND WELCOME

BACK TO "THE 700 CLUB."

FORMER F.B.I. DIRECTOR

JAMES COMEY IS POSTPONING

THIS TESTIMONY BEFORE A

HOUSE COMMITTEE.

HE IS REPORTEDLY EXPECTED

TO TESTIFY HE NOW BELIEVES

TRUMP WAS MEDDLING IN THE

F.B.I.'S INVESTIGATION

OVER HIS RUSSIA TIES.

BUT HE WANTS TO SPEAK WITH

FORMER F.B.I. DIRECTOR

ROBERT MUELLER BEFORE

TESTIFYING.

HE IS THE SPECIAL COUNSEL

INVESTIGATING RUSSIAN

INVOLVEMENT IN THE

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

COMEY IS STILL SET TO

TESTIFY BEFORE THE SENATE

INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE

AFTER LABOR DAY.

> A GROUP OF CATHOLICS

IN ST. LOUIS ARE SUING THE

CITY OVER AN ORDINANCE

THEY SAY COULD FORCE

BUSINESS OWNERS TO VIOLATE

THEIR RELIGIOUS BELIEFS.

THE LAW SAYS EMPLOYERS

CANNOT HIGHER OR FIRE

SOMEONE FOR HAVING AN

ABORTION, GETTING PREGNANT

OUTSIDE OF MARRIAGE, OR

USING CON CONTRACEPTIVES.

THE SUIT REPRESENTS

CATHOLIC SCHOOLS AND A

PRIVATELY-RUN MINISTRY FOR

PAT AND TERRY ARE BACK

WITH MUCH MORE OF "THE 700

CLUB."

IT'S COMING UP RIGHT AFTER

THIS.

Terry: TIM RAY IS A

HARD-WORKING TRUCK DRIVER.

WHEN HE IS NOT ON THE

ROAD, HE IS SPENDING TIME

WITH HIS WIFE, VICKI, AND

THEIR FOUR CHILDREN.

LIKE MANY FAMILIES,

THEY'VE HAD THEIR SHARE OF

FINANCIAL SET BASEBALL.

FOR SETBACKS.

FOR A WHILE THEY EVEN HAD

TO LIVE IN A TENT, BUT THE

RAYS ARE DOING MUCH BETTER

NOW, THANKS TO THE

GENEROUS OF PEOPLE LIKE

YOU.

Reporter: TIM AND HIS

WIFE ENJOY EVERY MOMENT OF

TIME THEY CAN WITH THEIR

FAMILY.

WE LIKE GOING TO THE

PARK AND PLAYING SPORTS

TOGETHER.

WE HAVE A LOT OF FUN.

Reporter: TIM WORKS

LONG HOURS DRIVING AN

18-WHEELER.

I LOVE MY HUSBAND A

LOT.

I'M THANKFUL FOR THAT MAN

EVERY DAY.

I NEVER MET A MAN WHO WAS

SO DETERMINED TO WORK TO

MAKE SURE HE CAN SUPPORT

HIS FAMILY.

Reporter: WHEN TIM'S

HOURS AT WORK WERE

DRASTICALLY CUT, THEY RAN

OUT OF OPTIONS.

FOR A WHILE, THE ONLY

PLACE THEY HAD TO LIVE WAS

A SMALL CAMPING TENT.

IT CAN BE TOUGH

SOMETIMES.

BUT YOU HAVE TO LOOK

FORWARD AND KEEP GOING ON.

Reporter: WITH EACH

STRUGGLE, THE RAYS HAVE

LEANED ON GOD.

I LEARNED YOU CAN'T

LOOK AT THE DOWNS.

YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT THE UP

TIMES.

THERE ARE TIMES WHEN WE

DON'T KNOW WHEN WE'LL HAVE

MONEY.

AND WE COULD EITHER PAY

OUR BILLS OR EAT.

Reporter: THE RAY

FAMILY SAYS THEY

EXPERIENCED GOD'S

PROVISION THROUGH

"OPERATION BLESSING"

PARTNER "JOSEPH'S STORE

HOUSE."

SEEING HOW MUCH FOOD

THAT THEY GIVE, IT WAS

JUST LIKE, WOW.

THAT'S LIKE WAY MORE THAN

YOU CAN GET IN A SHOPPING

CART.

MY KIDS -- THEIR EYES

WERE, LIKE, OH, MY GOSH.

"OPERATION BLESSING"

AND "JOSEPH'S STOREHOUSE"

HAS HELPED US OUT A TON.

WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE TO

WORRY ABOUT THE GROCERIES

THAT MONTH, THAT MAKES A

HUGE DIFFERENCE.

IT HELPS.

PEOPLE WHO ARE ABLE TO

DONATE, I THINK IT IS AN

AMAZING THING YOU'RE

DOING.

BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT JUST

GIVING.

YOU'RE SHOWING THEM THE

LOVE OF GOD THROUGH YOUR

GIFT TO THEM.

Terry: THIS IS A

HARD-WORKING DAD WHO CAME

ON TOUGH TIMES.

I DON'T HAVE TO TELL YOU,

IF IT HASN'T HAPPENED TO

YOU, YOU KNOW SOMEBODY IT

HAS HAPPENED TO.

THIS IS JUST ONE OF THE

OUTREACHES THAT "700 CLUB"

MEMBERS MAKE POSSIBLE

RIGHT HERE IN THE UNITED

STATES OF AMERICA.

SO THE RAY FAMILY -- ONE

OF THE THINGS I LOVE ABOUT

THIS FAMILY, EVEN WHEN

THEY WERE DOWN AND OUT,

THEY WERE LOOKING UP.

THAT'S WHAT WE NEED TO DO

FOR EACH OTHER, TO COME

ALONGSIDE WHEN SOMEBODY IS

GOING THROUGH HARD TIMES.

YOU'VE HEARD IT SAID SO

MANY TIMES WHEN PEOPLE

HAVE BEEN IMPACTED BY THE

ECONOMY, BOY, I'VE GIVEN

TO "OPERATION BLESSING" OR

I'VE GIVEN TO CBN, BUT

TODAY THEY'RE IN MY

COMMUNITY.

TODAY THEY'RE HELPING ME

AND MY HOME.

THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE DOING

WHEN YOU JOIN "THE 700

CLUB."

IT IS 65 CENTS A DAY, $20

A MONTH, MAKES YOU A "700

CLUB" MEMBER.

IF YOU'RE NOT ALREADY A

MEMBER, WILL YOU GO TO

YOUR PHONE AND CALL RIGHT

NOW?

STAND WITH US.

LIFE IS BETTER WHEN IT IS

FULL OF HOPE, AND YOU CAN

BRING THAT TO PEOPLE IN

SUCH A SIGNIFICANT WAY FOR

SUCH A SMALL AMOUNT OF

MONEY.

OUR NUMBER IS TOLL-FREE:

1-800-700-7000.

JUST CALL AND SAY, I WANT

TO JOIN "THE 700 CLUB."

WHEN YOU DO, OUR WAY OF

SAYING THANK YOU TO YOU IS

TO SEND YOU THIS AMAZING

D.V.D.

TALK ABOUT A

FAITH-BUILDER.

IT'S CALLED "MIRACLES,"

AND IT IS FILLED WITH

STORIES OF GOD'S

MIRACULOUS POWER IN THE

LIVES OF PEOPLE WHO HAD

NEED AND WERE TOUCHED BY

GOD.

WE WANT YOUR FAITH TO BE

BUILT EVEN AS YOU'RE

REACHING OUT AND TOUCHING

OTHERS.

> WANT TO ANSWER SOME

E-MAILS?

Pat: ALL RIGHT.

Terry: JULIE SAYS "I

AM A 69-YEAR-OLD WIDOW WHO

HAS BEEN ALONE FOR ALMOST

SIX YEARS NOW.

I HAVE A GROWING DESIRE TO

MEET A WIDOWER AROUND MY

AGE WHO HAS A STRONG

RELATIONSHIP WITH THE

LORD.

I DO NOT KNOW ONE MAN WHO

FITS THAT CATEGORY, AND

I'M TEMPTED TO GO ON A

CHRISTIAN DATING SITE TWO TO

MEET SOMEONE?

DO YOU THINK I'M SHOWING A

LACK OF TRUST IN GOD?"

Pat: YOU DON'T SHOW A

LACK OF TRUST IN GOD IF

YOU GO TO GROCERY STORE

BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE YOU

GO TO SHOP FOR GROCERIES.

IT IS A CHRISTIAN DATING

SITE, AND YOU CAN

OBVIOUSLY TURN THEM DOWN,

BUT YOU AT LEAST CAN HAVE

A CHOICE, LIKE DO YOU WANT

PASTA OR SOMEONE ELSE.

I SEE NOTHING IN THE WORLD

WRONG WITH THAT AT ALL.

Terry: OKAY.

THIS IS CATHY WHO SAYS,

"WHEN I WAS ABOUT EIGHT,

MY MOM MARRIED MY FIRST

STEPDAD.

AROUND NINE HE STARTED

ABUSING ME AND MY YOUNGER

SIBLINGS.

HE FAVORED MY OLDER SISTER

SO SHE WAS SAFE FROM THE

BEATINGS.

IT GOT TO THE POINT IF

WEIGH MADE MY OLDER SISTER

CRY, HE CAME AT US WITH

THE BELT.

HE CAME CLOSE TO BRINGING

BLOOD.

THAT HAS BEEN ALMOST 30

YEARS NOW.

I STILL HOLD A LOT OF

RESENTMENT FOR MY SISTER

FOR ALL OF THE BEATINGS,

AND SHE REFUSES TO ACCEPT

HER RESPONSIBILITY IN IT.

ALL SHE SAYS IS THE ADULTS

ARE AT FAULT, AND DON'T

BLAME HER FOR IT.

IS IT REALLY TOO MUCH TO

ASK FOR HER TO APOLOGIZE

FOR IT?

I'VE FORGIVE HIM, AND HE

HAS BEEN DEAD FOR 23 YEARS

NOW."

Pat: THAT RESENTMENT

ISN'T HURTING YOUR SISTER.

IT IS HURTING YOU.

IF YOU HAVE OUGHT AGAINST

ANY, THE BIBLE SAYS IT IS

SO CLEAR: WHEN YOU'RE

LOOKING FOR MIRACLES, YOU

STAND PRAYING, FORGIVE AS

YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER MAY

FORGIVE YOU.

THE WHOLE CONCEPT OF BEING

BORN AGAIN AND GETTING

INTO THE POWER OF GOD

DEPENDS ON YOUR

FORGIVENESS OF OTHERS.

AND SO CLEANSE IT UP AND

FORGIVE HER.

YOU KNOW, SHE PROBABLY AS

A LITTLE KID DIDN'T KNOW

WHAT SHE WAS DOING.

THE FACT THAT SHE DIDN'T

GET BEAT UP AND YOU DID --

SHE'S RIGHT, IT IS THE

ADULTS THAT DID THE

BEATING.

SHE DIDN'T BEAT YOU, THE

STEPFATHER DID.

SO FORGIVE HER.

EVEN IF SHE IS AT FAULT,

FORGIVE HER.

WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO LOSE?

Terry: OKAY.

THIS IS NICK WHO SAYS,

"I'M 35 YEARS OLD AND MY

FIANCEE AND I ARE HAVING

MY FIRST CHILD IN TWO

WEEKS.

WE'VE BEEN TOGETHER FOR A

YEAR.

WE'RE BOTH CHRISTIANS, BUT

WE STARTED HAVING SEX

PRETTY SOON INTO OUR

RELATIONSHIP.

I'VE ASKED HER TO MARRY

ME, BUT SHE STRUGGLES WITH

HUGE TRUST ISSUES.

SHE ACCUSES ME OF CHEATING

BECAUSE OF ALL OF THE PAST

MEN IN HER LIFE THAT HAVE

BEEN UNFAITHFUL.

I WOULD NEVER DO THAT.

SHE WON'T GO TO

COUNSELLING TO DEAL WITH

HER PAST BAGGAGE.

I'VE STEPPED UP AND

FULFILLED THE ROLE OF

FATHER TO HER CHILD HAVE

ANOTHER RELATIONSHIP.

YET SHE STILL WON'T TRUST

ME.

DO YOU HAVE ANY ADVICE ON

HOW MUCH LONGER I SHOULD

WAIT FOR HER TO CHANGE AND

SHOULD WE STILL MARRY?"

Pat: MY ADVICE, GET

OUT OF THIS DEAL AS FAST

AS YOU CAN.

WHY WOULD YOU TAKE ON

DAMAGED GOODS?

SHE IS DAMAGED.

SHE HAS A PSYCHOLOGICAL

PROBLEM.

YOU'RE NOT A PSYCHOLOGIST,

WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO FIX

IT?

A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK,

JUST GET MARRIED TO THEM

AND I'LL FIX IT.

NO, YOU WON'T.

AND THERE WILL BE MORE

PAIN AND HEART ATTACK AND

SUFFERING.

YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN

INTO THE RELATIONSHIP YOU

WERE IN.

YOU WERE DOING SOMETHING

WRONG, CALL FORNICATION,

AND IT'S WRONG.

AND NOW YOU'VE GOT A CHILD

AND SHE'S PREGNANT.

YOU WANT TO TAKE ON THAT

RESPONSIBILITY, OF COURSE.

BUT AT THE SAME TIME, TO

GET MARRIED IN THOSE

CIRCUMSTANCES TO SOMEBODY

THAT IS -- SHE OBVIOUSLY

WAS HAVING MULTIPLE

AFFAIRS.

MULTIPLE MEN WALKED OUT ON

HER, AND YOU WANT TO BE

ONE OF THOSE MULTIPLES.

WHY PUT YOURSELF IN THAT

POSITION.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO.

YOU'RE FREE.

SO STAY FREE.

BUT YOU'VE GOT A LITTLE

KID COMING ON.

HE IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.

LOOK AFTER THAT CHILD.

YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO ADOPT

THAT CHILD.

THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS

YOU CAN DO.

BUT TO GET MARRIED TO THIS

LADY -- BREAK OFF THE

RELATIONSHIP NOW.

Terry: OKAY.

THIS IS JEFF WHO SAYS,

"PAT, I WANT TO MARRY MY

SWEETHEART.

WE'RE BOTH BORN-AGAIN

CHRISTIANS, BUT SHE

DOESN'T KNOW IF BIBLICALLY

SHE IS ALLOWED TO REMARRY.

HER PORN-ADDICTED AND

ALCOHOLIC HUSBAND DIVORCED

HER.

SHE CANNOT PROVE ADULTERY.

IS SHE FREE TO MARRY?"

Pat: I THINK SO.

HE BROKE THE MARRIAGE VOW.

THEY'RE DIVORCED, AND HE

WALKED OUT ON HER.

YOU ASKED MY OPINION, AND

THAT'S MY OPINION.

IT WILL BE A VERY

WHOLESOME RELATIONSHIP.

I WOULDN'T LET THE GUILT

OF THAT JUST BECAUSE YOU

QUOTE "CAN'T PROVE

ADULTERY."

I THINK THE CHURCH NEEDS

TO SPEAK DEFINITIVELY ON

THIS.

AND WE REALLY HAVEN'T, AS

MUCH AS WE SHOULD HAVE.

> WE LEAVE YOU WITH

TODAY'S POWER MINUTE FROM

PROVERBS: "IN THE FEAR OF

THE LORD, THERE IS STRONG

CONFIDENCE.

AND HIS CHILDREN WILL HAVE

A PLACE OF REFUGE."

> WELL, TOMORROW,

LISALLOYD SITS DOWN WITH

US, ACTRESS.

AND FOR TERRY AND ALL OF

US, THIS IS PAT ROBERTSON,

AND WE'LL SEE YOU

TOMORROW.

BYE-BYE.
