Wendy: COMING UP,

AMERICA'S HIDDEN

ADDICTION.

SUGAR IS COCAINE FOR

YOUR BRAIN.

Wendy: AND YOU MAY BE

ITS NEXT VICTIM.

HEAR HOW IT IS MAKING YOU

SICK.

IT TURNS ON GENES THAT

SAY DOOR MAT.

Wendy: AND WHY YOU

CAN'T JUST CUT OUT THE

SWEETS.

PEOPLE DON'T CONNECT

THE TWO.

Wendy: PLUS...GET

READY TO DECK THE HALLS

WITHOUT BREAKING YOUR

BUDGET.

SOUTHERN LIVING'S KIMBERLY

WHITMAN JOINS US LIVE ON

Pat: WELL, I'VE GOT A

SHOCKING STATISTIC FOR YOU

AS WE START THE DAY: WE,

IN THE UNITED STATES OF

AMERICA, ARE CONSUMING 100

TIMES AS MUCH SUGAR AS

THEY DID IN THE 18th

CENTURY.

Terry: WELL, I

BELIEVE THAT.

Pat: 100 TIMES.

Terry: I BELIEVE

THAT.

Pat: YOU DO BELIEVE

THAT?

Terry: SURE.

JUST THE PRODUCTION OF

THINGS TODAY --

Pat: WELL, I'VE GOT

SOME OTHER TIPS ABOUT HOW

YOU CAN STAY THIN AND BE

HEALTHY AND HAPPY AND ALL

THOSE OTHER GOOD THINGS.

Terry: THE GOOD THING

IS STAYING THIN ALSO MEANS

STAYING HEALTHY.

Pat: IT GOES

TOGETHER.

OKAY.

WELL, WE'RE GOING TO TALK

ALSO ABOUT ONE OF MOST

CLOSELY WATCHED CASES OF

THE SUPREME COURT.

THIS HAS DO WITH A

CHRISTIAN BAKER WHO SAID,

LOOK, I'LL COOK ALL OF THE

COOKIES THEY WANT.

I'LL MAKE ALL OF THE CAKES

THEY WANT TO BUY, BUT I

JUST DON'T WANT TO DESIGN

A SPECIAL WEDDING CAKE FOR

A COUPLE THAT ARE OF THE

SAME-SEX.

THIS RULING COULD HAVE

HUGE IMPLICATIONS FOR

RELIGIOUS LIBERTY AND FREE

SPEECH IN AMERICA, WHICH

IS FOUNDATIONAL, I MIGHT

ADD, TO THE FIRST

AMENDMENT OF THE UNITED

STATES CONSTITUTION.

Terry: THE GAY COUPLE

HAS WON THE CASE IN THE

PREVIOUS RULINGS, BUT THE

SUPREME COURT WILL HAVE

THE FINAL SAY, AND THE

DECISION COULD COME DOWN

TO ONE JUSTICE.

GARY LANE HAS THE STORY.

Reporter: ALL EYES

WILL BE ON THE SUPREME

COURT AND THE QUESTIONS

AND REACTION OF JUSTICE

ANTHONY KENNEDY, WHO IS

LIKELY TO BE THE KEY VOTE

IN THIS PRECEDENT-SETTING

CASE.

IT PITS CHRISTIAN BAKER

JACK PHIL PHILLIPS AGAINST TO

MEN WHO REQUESTED A CAKE

FOR THEIR SAME-SEX

WEDDING.

PHILLIPS REFUSED BECAUSE

HE SEES WEDDING CAKE

DESIGNING AS AN ART FORM,

THAT EXPRESSES SOMETHING

ABOUT THE EVENT AND THE

COUPLE.

SHHE SAYS IT COMMUNICATES A

MESSAGE THAT CONTRADICTS

HIS DEEPEST RELIGIOUS

CONVICTIONING, INCLUDING

THIS BELIEF THAT GOD

DESIGNED MARRIAGE TO BE

BETWEEN A MAN AND A WOMAN.

I WANTED TO FIND A

POLITE WAY TO SAY I

COULDN'T CREATE THE CAKE

THEY WERE LOOKING FOR.

Reporter: THE COUPLE

FILED A DISCRIMINATION

COMPLAINT WITH THE

COLORADO CIVIL RIGHTS

COMMISSION.

THE COMMISSION AND AN

APPEALS COURT AGREED THAT

PHILLIPS HAD VIOLATED THE

STATE'S

ANTI-DISCRIMINATION LAW.

THE RULING FORCED PHILLIPS

TO STOP MAKING WEDDING

CAKES.

AS A RESULT, HE LOST ABOUT

40% OF HIS BUSINESS AND

HAD TO LAYOFF SIX

EMPLOYEES.

PHILLIPS' LAWYER SAYS

TOLERANCE IS HER CLIENT'S

BEST ARGUMENT BEFORE THE

SUPREME COURT.

REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU

BELIEVE ABOUT MARRIAGE, IF

YOU WANT TO HAVE FREEDOM

FOR YOURSELF, HAVE YOU TO

EXTEND THAT FREEDOM TO

OTHERS.

IT IS JUST LIVING

TOGETHER IN A WORLD WHERE

PEOPLE HAVE DIFFERENT

BELIEFS.

PHILLIPS IS NOT OUT THERE

TRYING TO STOP SOMEBODY

ELSE FROM GETTING MARRIED.

HE IS NOT TRYING TO BLOCK

SOMEBODY ELSE'S BAKERY SO

THEY CAN'T BAKE THE CAKE.

HE IS JUST SAYING I CAN'T

PARTICIPATE.

Reporter: GAY RIGHTS

ACTIVISTS SAY PEOPLE'S

RELIGIOUS BELIEFS DO NOT

EXEMPT THEM FROM OBEYING

THE LAW.

THEY ARGUE PUBLIC

DISCRIMINATION LAWS

BENEFIT EVERYBODY IN

SOCIETY.

THEY OFFER AS MUCH

BENEFIT TO CHRISTIAN

COSTUMERS AS THE LGBT

COSTUMERS.

I'M AN ARTIST, AND I'M

A CHRISTIAN AT THE SAME

TIME.

AND I HOPE THAT THE COURT

REALIZES THAT EVERYBODY

HAS THOSE LINES THAT WE

DRAW.

Reporter: THIS CASE

WILL ALSO HAVE

IMPLICATIONS FOR WEDDING

PHOTOGRAPHERS AND

FLORISTS, WHO AVOID

SIMILAR CONCERNS.

AND OTHER CREATIVE PEOPLE

IN A WIDE VERTEBR VARIETY OF

FIELDS.

ONE ARGUMENT IS THAT

GOVERNMENT CANNOT DICTATE

HOW ARTISTS CHOOSE TO

EXPRESS THEMSELVES.

THE CASE HAS DRAWN PUBLIC

AND LEGAL INTERESTS WITH

NEARLY 100 BRIEFS,

INCLUDING THE TRUMP

ADMINISTRATION, WHICH HAS

FILED A BRIEF SUPPORTING

PHILLIPS.

GARY LANE, CBN NEWS.

Pat: YOU KNOW, THE

FIRST AMENDMENT IS RATHER

CLEAR.

IT SAYS CONGRESS --

CONGRESS -- SHALL PASS NO

LAW RESPECTING AN

ESTABLISHMENT OF RELIGION.

YOU'VE HEARD A GREAT DEAL

OF ESTABLISHMENT.

THEY TALK ABOUT

ESTABLISHMENT, THAT THIS

IS THE ESTABLISHMENT

CLAUSE.

AND, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN'T

FORCE PEOPLE WHAT THEY'RE

GOING TO PRAY IN SCHOOL

AND SO FORTH.

BUT IT ALSO SAYS -- THE

SECOND PART OF IT,

ESTABLISHMENT OF RELIGION,

OR THE FREE EXERCISE

THEREOF.

AND THE FREE EXERCISE PART

HASN'T BEEN LITIGATED NEAR

AS MUCH AS THE

ESTABLISHMENT PART.

ARE WE GOING TO COMMAND

THE PAINTER THAT HE HAS TO

PAINT A PARTICULAR PICTURE

OF STUFF THAT HE DOESN'T

LIKE?

IS IT GOING TO BE MAPLE

THORPE, OR SOME OF THAT

GARBAGE HE HAS PUT OUT.

ARE WE GOING TO FORCE

ARTISTS TO DRAW AND PAINT

THINGS?

YOU SAY, OF COURSE NOT, WE

WOULDN'T DO THAT.

THEN WHY ARE YOU MAKING A

CAKE BAKER, WHO IS AN

ARTIST -- WHY ARE YOU

GOING TO HAVE HIM DECORATE

STUFF?

ARE WE GOING TO HAVE

HOMOSEXUAL COOKIES?

ARE WE GOING TO FORCE THEM

TO HAVE OBSCENE THINGS ON

THEIR COOKIES BECAUSE

SOMEBODY WANTS THEM THAT

WAY?

WHERE IS IT GOING TO END?

IT IS TIME -- THE LOWER

COURTS ARE MISSING IT.

I'M SO SICK OF THESE

DISTRICT COURTS.

I THINK, LADIES AND

GENTLEMEN, WE NEED SOME

ACT OF CONGRESS WHICH SAYS

THAT THE JURISDICTION OF A

DISTRICT COURT JUDGE

EXTENDS ONLY WITHIN THE

CONFINES OF THE DISTRICT

IN WHICH HE IS SERVING.

BUT WE'VE GOT THESE

DISTRICT COURT JUDGES WHO

ARE TRYING TO DOMINATE THE

PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED

STATES.

AND MORE AND MORE SOME

JUDGE IN HAWAII WILL SAY,

WELL, YOU CAN'T BAN PEOPLE

FROM THESE VARIOUS

COUNTRIES.

YOUR LAW DEALING WITH

IMMIGRANTS CANNOT STAND.

IT IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

LOOK, YOU CAN'T HAVE

DISTRICT COURT JUDGES

DOMINATING AND TELLING THE

PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED

STATES, WHO IS ELECTED BY

ALL OF US, WHAT HE IS

SUPPOSED TO DO.

A DISTRICT COURT IS A

SMALL AREA.

AND THAT'S HIS AREA OF

JURISDICTION, PERIOD.

NOT THE WHOLE UNITED

STATES OF AMERICA.

BUT YOU HAVE ANY NUMBER OF

THESE DISTRICT COURT

JUDGES WHO TOLD THE

PRESIDENT, I'M SORRY, YOU

CANNOT RESTRICT

IMMIGRATION.

AND THE PRESIDENT TOOK IT

TO THE SUPREME COURT, AND,

GUESS WHAT?

HE HAS WON AN OVERWHELMING

VICTORY AT THE COURT,

AFTER LONG LEGAL BATTLES

OVER HIS TRAVEL BAN.

CHARLENE AARON HAS MORE ON

THAT.

Charlene: EVEN WITH

THIS VICTORY, THE

PRESIDENT'S TRAVEL BAN

FACES MORE LEGAL

CHALLENGES, AND THE

SUPREME COURT WILL

ULTIMATELY RULE ON WHETHER

OR NOT IT IS LEGAL.

BUT FOR NOW, JUSTICES ARE

LETTING HIM FULLY ENFORCE

HIS BAN ON TRAVEL TO THE

U.S. BY RESIDENTS OF SIX

MUSLIM-MAJORITY COUNTRIES.

THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION

ARGUED THAT BLOCKING THE

BAN WHILE CHALLENGES MAKE

THEIR WAY THROUGH THE

COURT IS CAUSING

IRREPARABLE HARM BECAUSE

THE POLICY IS BASED ON

NATIONAL SECURITY

CONCERNS.

> PRESIDENT TRUMP IS

TAIG GROWING OPPOSITION

FROM ARABS AND MUSLIMS

ABOUT HIS DECISION TO

RECOGNIZE JERUSALEM AS THE

CAPITAL OF ISRAEL.

TURKEY HAS THREATENED TO

CUT TIES WITH THE U.S.

AND A KEY ALLY, SAUDI

ARABIA, HAS ALSO SPOKEN

OUT STRONGLY AGAINST THE

MOVE.

U.S. OFFICIALS HAVE SAID

THAT TRUMP MAY RECOGNIZE

JERUSALEM TO OFFSET HIS

CAMPAIGN PROMISE OF MOVING

THE U.S. EMBASSY FROM TEL

AVIV TO JERUSALEM.

THE PRESIDENT IS EXPECTED

TO SPEAK ON THIS ISSUE

TOMORROW, AND WE WILL HAVE

INDEPTH COVERAGE FROM CBN

NEWS.

PAT?

Pat: FOLKS, YOU HAVE

TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE

LAST BATTLE IS GOING TO BE

A BATTLE OVER JERUSALEM.

YOU KNOW, WE TALK ABOUT

THE ARMAGEDDON.

BUT ARMAGEDDON IS NOT THE

MOUNT OF MAGGEDO.

THE FINAL FIGHT WILL BE

OVER JERUSALEM.

IT IS GOD'S HOLY CITY.

JESUS SAID IT SO CLEARLY,

A JERUSALEM WILL BE

TRODDEN UNDER FOOT OF THE

GENTILES UNTIL THE TIME OF

THE GENTILES IS FULFILLED.

IN THE SIX-DAY WAR, THE

JEWS FINALLY TOOK

SOVEREIGNTY OVER

JERUSALEM.

AND IT IS ABSOLUTELY

CRUCIAL IN TERMS OF

BIBLICAL PROPHECY THAT

THEY MAINTAIN CONTROL OVER

THAT.

SO IT IS TIME WE RECOGNIZE

JERUSALEM IS THE CAPITAL

OF ISRAEL.

IT IS NOT TEL AVIV.

IT IS NOT TEL AVIV.

IT IS JERUSALEM.

THAT'S WHERE THE HOUSES OF

THE KNESSET ARE.

THAT'S WHERE THE

GOVERNMENT OFFICES OF

JERUSALEM ARE.

AND IT IS TIME WE HAVE AN

AMBASSADOR DEALING WITH

THE CAPITAL OF THE NATION.

NOW, THE PALESTINIANS WANT

A PIECE OF IT.

WELL, THAT'S SOMETHING

THEY CAN DISCUSS LATER ON.

BUT THE TRUTH IS, THE

ISRAELIS HAVE THEIR

CAPITAL THERE.

AND IT'S AN UNDIVIDED

CAPITAL.

REMEMBER, YOU GO

AGAINST -- YOU GO IN FAVOR

OF BREAKING UP JERUSALEM,

YOU'RE GOING AGAINST THE

DIRECT WORD OF JESUS.

AND THIS IS A PROPHECY

THAT HAS STOOD FOR

HUNDREDS OF YEARS.

AND GOD IS NOT GOING TO

LET ANYBODY BREAK THAT.

IT IS GOING TO BE A MAJOR

BATTLE.

IT WILL BE OVER JERUSALEM.

YOU READ THE BIBLE, AND

THE FORCES WILL COME

AGAINST JERUSALEM.

BECAUSE THAT IS GOD'S

ETERNAL CAPITAL.

IT'S VERY IMPORTANT.

AND THERE IS SOMETHING

ELSE.

THE PALESTINIANS -- GET

THIS -- ARE PAYING MONEY

TO PEOPLE WHO KILL ISRAELI

SOLDIERS.

THEY'RE PAYING MONEY TO

THOSE WHO KILL.

AND THEY ARE TAKING MONEY

THAT WE ARE GIVING THEM,

YOUR TAX DOLLARS ARE

ACTUALLY GOING TO THE

PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY

RESULT, AND PART OF THAT

MONEY IS BEING USED TO PAY

FOR THOSE WHO KILL.

DO YOU WANT THAT?

OF COURSE YOU DON'T.

CHARLENE AARON HAS WHAT IS

HAPPENING IN THE HOUSE OF

REPRESENTATIVES ABOUT THIS

TODAY.

Charlene: THAT'S

RIGHT, PAT.

THE HOUSE OF

REPRESENTATIVES IS SET TO

VOTE TODAY TO STOP A

PALESTINIAN PRACTICE

CALLED "PAY TO SLAY."

THE BILL WOULD PRESSURE

THE PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY

TO STOP THE PRACTICE OF

GIVING MONEY TO CONVICTED

TERRORISTS AND THEIR

FAMILIES BY ELIMINATING

U.S. FUNDING TO THE P.A.

UNLESS IT STOPS THESE TYPE

OF PAYMENTS.

THE BILL WAS NAMED IN

HONOR OF U.S. ARMY VETERAN

TAYLOR FORCE, WHO WAS

MURDERED BY A PALESTINIAN

TERRORIST IN 2016.

THE PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY

PRAISED HIM, AND HIS

FAMILY GOT LIFE-LONG

FINANCIAL COMPENSATION.

THE U.S. SENDS

$300 MILLION TAX DOLLARS

TO THE P.A. EVERY YEAR.

PAT?

Pat: FOLKS, THIS IS

SOMETHING YOU OUGHT TO GET

INVOLVED IN RIGHT NOW.

HERE IS WHAT YOU CAN DO:

YOU NEED TO NOTIFY YOUR

CONGRESSMAN YOUR FEELING

ON WHAT IS CALLED THE

TAYLOR FORCE ACT.

HR1164.

HERE IS THE NUMBER:

202-224-3121.

AND YOU JUST NEED TO CALL

IN AND SAY, LISTEN, I'M

TIRED OF MY TAX DOLLARS

GOING TO THE PALESTINIAN

AUTHORITY.

WE NEED TO CUT OFF THOSE

PAYMENTS.

AND WE CERTAINLY DON'T

WANT TO BACK PAYMENTS TO

PALESTINIANS WHO KILL

OTHERS.

AND I WANT TO GIVE IT TO

YOU AGAIN.

THE CAPITOL SWITCH BOARD:

202-224-3121.

THE BILL IS CALLED "PAY TO

SLAY" BILL.

IT IS THE TAYLOR FORCE

ACT, HR1164.

Charlene: PAT, THE

U.S. AND SOUTH KOREA ARE

TAKING PART IN A JOINT

MILITARY EXERCISE THAT

NORTH KOREA CALLS A

MASSIVE PROVOCATION THAT

COULD PUT THE WORLD AT THE

BRINK OF NUCLEAR WAR.

MEANWHILE, A TOP PENTAGON

OFFICIAL WANTS THEM TO

MOVE SOLDIERS' FAMILIES

OUT OF SOUTH KOREA.

ERIK ROSALES BREAKS IT ALL

DOWN.

Reporter: RIGHT NOW

U.S. STEALTH FIGHTERS AND

B-1 BOMBERS ARE FLYING

OVER SOUTH KOREA IN A

MILITARY DRILL.

OVER 200 WAR PLANES ARE

INVOLVED IN ONE OF THE

LARGEST MILITARY DRILLS IN

RECENT YEARS BETWEEN THE

UNITED STATES AND SOUTH

KOREA.

AND IT IS A SHOW OF FORCE

AT THE DOORFRONT OF THE

NORTH KOREAN REGIME.

NORTH KOREA DESCRIBED THE

EXERCISE AS A GRAVE

PROVOCATION, CLAIMING ON

MONDAY THAT THE DRILL

COULD ESCALATE THE

SITUATION TO THE BRINK OF

NUCLEAR WAR.

THE TRAINING COMES LESS

THAN A WEEK AFTER

PYONGYANG CARRIED THEITO A A

BALLISTIC MISSILE.

LIEUTENANT GENERAL H.R.

McMASTER WARNED THAT

PYONGYANG'S CONTINUED

AGGRESSION WAS INCHING THE

REGION CLOSER TO WAR.

IT MEANS WE'RE IN A

RACE, REALLY -- REAR IN A

RACE TO BE ABLE TO SOLVE

THIS PROBLEM, NOT JUST US,

BUT THE UNITED STATES, ALL

OF OUR ALLIES AND PARTNERS

AS WE KNOW.

Reporter: McMASTER

SAID THE UNITED STATES IS

STILL WORKING CLOSELY WITH

CHINA, WHICH HOLDS

TREMENDOUS ECONOMIC POWER

OVER NORTH KOREA.

IT IS IN CHINA'S URGENT

INTERESTS TO DO MORE, TO

DO MORE BEYOND U.N.

SECURITY COUNCIL

RESOLUTIONS.

AS WE KNOW, WE CANNOT RELY

ON AN INTERNATIONAL BODY

BECAUSE THERE ARE THOSE

WITHIN THAT BODY WHO

OBSTRUCT THAT IMPORTANT

WORK.

Reporter: ON CAPITOL

HILL, SENATOR LINDSEY

GRAHAM BELIEVES THE UNITED

STATES IS RUNNING OUT OF

TIME WHEN IT COMES TO

STOPPING NORTH KOREA'S

NUCLEAR AMBITION.

THE POLICY OF THE TRUMP

ADMINISTRATION IS TO DENY

NEW YORK CAREENORTH KOREA TO HIT THE

U.S. WITH A NUCLEAR

MISSILE.

THAT IS BECOMING MORE

LIKELY AT THE TECHNOLOGY

ADVANCES.

IT IS CRAZY TO SEND

SPOUSES AND CHILDREN TO

SOUTH KOREA, GIVEN THE

PROVOCATION OF NORTH

KOREA.

Reporter: IN ADDITION

TO AMERICAN DIPLOMATS AND

OTHER EMBASSY WORKERS,

ABOUT 28,500 U.S. TROOPS

OPERATE IN SOUTH KOREA.

AND MANY COME TO THEIR

POSTS WITH THEIR FAMILIES,

WHO OFTEN LIVE ON MILITARY

BASES.

ERIK ROSALES, CBN NEWS,

WASHINGTON.

Charlene: BACK OVER

TO YOU, PAT.

Pat: FOLKS, IT IS NOT

JUST OUR TROOPS AND THEIR

FAMILIES THAT ARE THERE IN

SOUTH KOREA.

SEOUL IS A BIG CITY.

AND THE SOUTH KOREANS HAVE

MANY, MANY HUNDREDS OF

THOUSANDS OF THEIR

CITIZENS LIVING RIGHT

THERE.

SO IF WE GO TO WAR AGAINST

NORTH KOREA, WE HAVE TO

INTERDICT ALL OF THE

ARTILLERY AREAS.

HOW DO WE DO THAT?

DO WE HAVE A PLAN THAT HAS

EVERY SINGLE ARTILLERY

AREA?

SO THE SOUTH KOREANS HAVE

A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT TO

LOSE IF WE GO TO WAR.

BUT WE HAVE A TREMENDOUS

AMOUNT TO LOSE IF WE HAVE

OUR CITIES HELD CAPTIVE TO

NUCLEAR THREATS.

A NUCLEAR BLAST IN SAN

FRANCISCO WOULD BE

DEVASTATING.

THINK WHAT IT WOULD BE IF

THEY COULD HIT WASHINGTON

OR THEY COULD HIT NEW

YORK.

AND THEY CLAIM -- THEY

KEEP TALKING ABOUT THESE

MISSILES WILL REACH THE

UNITED STATES?

WHY DO THEY SAY THAT?

WHY ARE WE THEIR TARGET?

WHY DON'T THEY SAY THEY'LL

LAND IN THE PACIFIC?

INSTEAD OF SAYING THIS

WILL HIT WASHINGTON, THIS

WILL HIT NEW YORK.

THEY'RE CLEARLY GEARING UP

TO ATTACK THE UNITED

STATES.

AND WHAT ARE WE GOING TO

DO?

IT IS A VERY UNPLEASANT

SITUATION.

WE DONT WANT WAR.

THE SOUTH KOREANS

OBVIOUSLY DON'T.

BUT WE HAVE TO HAVE A

STRATEGY THAT LITERALLY

SHUTS DOWN THE NORTH

KOREAN MILITARY SO IT

CANNOT DO DAMAGE IN THE

REGION.

AND THEN WE CERTAINLY WANT

TO SHUT IT DOWN SO IT

CAN'T DO DAMAGE ACROSS THE

PACIFIC TO US.

AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE

FACING.

IT IS A HORRIBLE PROSPECT.

NOBODY WANTS TO GO TO WAR.

I WAS OVER THERE, FOLKS.

I WAS IN THE KOREAN WAR.

I WAS STATIONED NORTH OF

THE 38th PARALLEL.

WE HAD KOREANS FIGHTING

ALONG WITH THE CHINESE.

FORTUNATELY THE CHINESE

ARE STAYING OUT OF IT THIS

TIME.

BUT THEY COULD SHUT THIS

WHOLE THING DOWN IF THEY

WANTED TO.

BUT SO FAR THEY HAVEN'T

DONE IT.

AND IT IS TIME THAT THEY

STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND

GET REAL WITH IT.

AND WE'RE DOING EVERYTHING

WE CAN DIPLOMATICALLY TO

BRING THIS THING TO A

SUCCESSFUL CONCLUSION.

BUT SO FAR THAT TYPE OF

DIPLOMACY HAS NOT WORKED.

CHARLENE?

Charlene: PAT, HOUSE

MINORITY LEADER NANCY

PELOSI HAS BLASTED THE

REPUBLICAN TAX REFORM

BILL.

SHE CALLED IT, QUOTE, "THE

WORST BILL IN THE HISTORY

OF THE UNITED STATES

CONGRESS."

THE DEMOCRATIC LEADER HAS

ATTACKED THE BILL AS A TAX

CUT FOR THE RICH.

IT ROBS FROM THE

FUTURE.

IT REWARDS THE RICH, IN

TERMS OF INDIVIDUALS AND

CORPORATIONS, AT THE

EXPENSE OF TENS OF

MILLIONS OF WORKING MIDDLE

CLASS FAMILIES IN OUR

COUNTRY.

Pat: PELOSI ALSO

WARNED THAT THE BILL WILL

INCREASE THE FEDERAL

DEFICIT, BUT SOME

REPUBLICANS SAY THE

MEASURE CAN PAY FOR ITSELF

BY HELPING THE ECONOMY

GROW MORE QUICKLY, WHICH

WOULD GENERATE MORE TAX

REVENUE FOR WASHINGTON AND

THEY SAY IT WILL MEAN MORE

JOBS AND HIGHER PAYCHECKS.

THEY ARE HOPING TO GET A

FINAL BILL TO THE

PRESIDENT BEFORE THE END

OF THE YEAR.

PAT?

Pat: THEY'RE GOING TO

CONFERENCE, AND IT LOOKS

LIKE THERE IS UNANIMITY IN

THE REPUBLICAN RANKS TO

PASS THE TAX CUT BILL.

NANCY PELOSI, WHO HAS BEEN

LOSING IT -- SHE HAS BEEN

OUT OF IT A NUMBER OF

TIMES -- BUT THE DEMOCRATS

HAVE PAINTED THEMSELVES

INTO A TERRIBLE CORNER.

AND I WOULD JUST LOVE TO

DESIGN THE TV FOR THE NEXT

ELECTION, TO SAY THIS MAN

IS RUNNING FOR OFFICE AND

HE REFUSED TO GIVE YOU A

TAX BREAK.

HE WOULD NOT LOWER YOUR

TAXES.

HE WOULD NOT MAKE THE JOBS

AVAILABLE FOR YOU.

HE WANTED TO SHUT THE

GOVERNMENT DOWN AND

RESTRICT YOUR FREEDOM.

OH, MAN, IT'S THE -- IT

WILL BE A DYNBROOK FOR THE

DEMOCRATS, AND THEY KNOW

IT IS COMING.

THEY HAVE BEEN SO ADAMANT

TO OPPOSE THE PRESIDENT,

AND THIS IS GOING TO BE

THE RESULT.

FORTUNATELY THE

REPUBLICANS HAVE HUNG

TOUGH ON THIS ONE AND

THEY'LL BRING SOMETHING

VERY GOOD TO PASS.

TERRY, I'M EXCITED THAT

THE REPUBLICANS ARE

FINALLY GETTING THEIR ACT

TOGETHER.

Terry: I WAS GOING TO

SAY, UNMIMNIT UNANIMITY WOULD BE A

GREAT THING.

Pat: WHEN NANCY

PELOSI STARTS SCREAMING,

SHE KNOWS WHAT IS COMING,

AND THE OTHERS KNOW WHAT

IS COMING.

THEY HAVE PAINTED

THEMSELVES IN A CORNER.

THEY THOUGHT THEY COULD

STOP IT, AND THEY AREN'T.

AND IT IS GOING TO BE A

MONSTER.

FUN.

Terry: IT IS THE SAME

OLD THING FROM THEM ALL

THE TIME.

Pat: PEOPLE ARE

TALKING ABOUT DON'T PAY

TAXES.

THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE

TAXES ARE PAID BY THE,

QUOTE, "WEALTHY PEOPLE."

IF YOU'RE GOING TO GIVE A

LITTLE BREAK, YOU'VE GOT

TO HELP THEM.

BUT THIS IS NOT JUST

HELPING THEM.

THE STANDARD DEDUCTIONS

ARE BEING DOUBLED.

ALL KINDS OF GOOD THINGS.

IT IS A SIMPLE THING.

AND IT WILL SAVE A HUGE

AMOUNT OF MONEY IN TAX

PREPARATION.

> OKAY.

Terry: WELL, COMING

UP, IT IS CALLED THE

SOURCE OF ALL CHRONIC

DISEASES, AND YOU ARE

PUTTING IT IN YOUR BODY,

WHETHER YOU KNOW IT OR

NOT.

SUGAR IS COCAINE FOR

YOUR BRAIN.

IT IS GOING TO WANT MORE

HITS.

AND IT KEEPS WANTING MORE

AND MORE BECAUSE IT

BECOMES DESENSITIZED TO

SMALL AMOUNTS.

Terry: HEAR HOW YOU

CAN BREAK YOUR SUGAR

ADDICTION AND RESTORE YOUR

HEALTH.

AND THAT'S NEXT.

Pat: LADIES AND

GENTLEMEN, IT IS COMING UP

ON CHRISTMAS, AND I'M

GOING TO GIVE YOU A

CHRISTMAS PRESENT TODAY

THAT YOU'RE GOING TO LIKE.

I'M GOING TO TELL YOU A

SHOCKING TRUTH ABOUT YOUR

HEALTH AND A WAY THAT YOU

CAN BE HEALTHY.

WHAT WE'RE GOING TO TALK

ABOUT IS THE SURFACE OF

IT.

BUT UNDERNEATH THERE ARE

EVEN MORE DANGEROUS THINGS

THAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

ABOUT.

BUT MANY PEOPLE ARE GOING

TO BE EATING EVEN MORE

SUGARY TREATS THAN USUAL.

AND WHAT THEY SHOULD KNOW

IS NEW RESEARCH REVEALS

THAT PEOPLE WHO CONSUME

GREAT QUANTITIES OF SUGAR

ARE MORE THAN TWICE AS

LIKELY TO DIE FROM HEART

DISEASE.

OUR LORIE JOHNSON SHOWS US

THAT IS JUST ONE OF THE

MANY REASONS TO GIVE UP

SUGAR AND ARTIFICIAL

SWEETENERS.

Lorie: WHEN WE THINK

OF ADDICTION, WE TEND TO

FOCUS ON DRUGS AND

ALCOHOL.

BUT MORE DOCTORS SAY WE

SHOULD ALSO CONSIDER

SUGAR.

SUGAR IS THE SOURCE OF

ALL CHRONIC DISEASE.

IT IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST

CONTRIBUTORS.

AND WE KNOW THAT SOLID

TUMORS, CANCERS, FEED ON

SUGAR.

Lorie: DR. VINCENT

PEDRE IS ONE OF A GROWING

NUMBER OF PHYSICIANS

WARNING THAT CONSUMING TOO

MUCH SUGAR NOT ONLY FUELS

CANCER, BUT ALSO HEART

DISEASE AND ALZHEIMER'S.

LET ME CLARIFY THAT,

BECAUSE WHEN I SAY

CONSUMING TOO MUCH SUGAR,

PEOPLE THINK, I DON'T EAT

DESSERT, SO I DON'T HAVE A

LOT OF SUGAR.

BUT THEY'RE EATING BREAD,

RICE, PASTA, AND THEY'RE

NOT THINKING OF THAT AS

SUGAR.

BUT SUGAR COMES FROM ALL

OF THESE SOURCES.

WE BREAK DOWN THE

CARBOHYDRATES AND THEY

BECOME SUGAR.

Lorie: AN ESTIMATED

THREE-FOURTHS OF AMERICANS

ARE ADDICTED TO SUGAR AND

DON'T KNOW IT.

BUT FOOD MANUFACTURERS DO.

THEY ADD SUGAR TO NEARLY

EVERYTHING, INCLUDING

THINGS THAT MIGHT NOT SEEM

SWEET, LIKE CRACKERS AND

YOGURT, TWO KEEP COSTUMERS

COMING BACK FOR MORE.

MOST PEOPLE MIGHT BE

SHOCKED TO DISCOVER THEY

CONSUME 100 TIMES MORE

SUGAR THAN THEIR ANCESTORS

DID BACK IN THE 1800s,

AND THAT'S AT THE ROOT OF

THEIR HEALTH ISSUES.

BLOATING, ABDOMINAL

PAIN, BUT ALSO SINUS

CONGESTION, MENTAL FOG,

MEMORY ISSUES, FATIGUE,

ACHYNESS, JOINT PAINS --

THESE ARE ALL SYMPTOMS OF

CONSUMING TOO MUCH SUGAR

IN ALL OF ITS FORMS, BUT

PEOPLE DON'T CONNECT THE

TWO.

Lorie: SCIENTISTS USE

LAB ANIMALS TO PROVE THAT

SUGAR IS EVEN MORE

ADDICTIVE THAN ILLICIT

DRUGS.

SUGAR STIMULATES THE

SAME PARTS OF THE BRAIN AS

COCAINE.

I TELL PEOPLE THAT SUGAR

IS COCAINE FOR YOUR BRAIN.

AND BY THAT, I MEAN IT

AFFECTS THE DOPAMINE

PATHWAYS.

AND DOPAMINE IS THE

TRANSMITTER THAT MAKES YOU

FEEL GOOD, THAT THINGS ARE

GREAT.

Lorie: A LITTLE IS

NEVER ENOUGH.

BECAUSE THAT'S THE

DESIGN OF THE NEURO

CIRCUIT IN THE BRAIN.

IT IS GOING TO WANT MORE

HITS.

AND IT KEEPS WANTING MORE

AND MORE BECAUSE IT

BECOMES DESENSITIZED TO

SMALL AMOUNTS.

Lorie: THAT'S WHY HE

RECOMMENDS QUITTING SWEETS

COLD TURKEY.

THE CRAVING IS NOT

GOING TO LAST LONGER THAN

10 TO 20 MINUTES.

SO IF YOU DON'T GIVE INTO

THE CRAVING INITIALLY,

EVENTUALLY IT IS GOING TO

PASS BECAUSE YOUR BODY IS

GOING TO REALIZE IT

DOESN'T REALLY NEED THAT

FOR SURVIVAL.

Lorie: OR AT LEAST

SUBSTITUTING THAT WITH

FRUIT.

THE CHOCOLATE CHIP

COOKIE WILL GO QUICKER TO

THE BRAIN.

IF YOU HAVE A FRUIT, LET'S

SAY AN ORANGE OR SOME

BERRIES -- THE FEEDBACK IS

GOING TO HAPPEN, BUT IT

WILL TAKE A COUPLE OF

MINUTES.

Lorie: WHILE IT COMES

TO SUGAR SUB -- DR. PEDRE EXPLAINS

THAT ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS

HARM OUR IMMUNE SYSTEM BY

DISRUPTING THE BACTERIA IN

OUR DIGESTIVE TRACT.

IT REDUCES THE TYPE OF

BACTERIA THAT IS FOUND IN

LEAN, HEALTHY PEOPLE, AND

IT INCREASES ANOTHER TYPE

OF BACTERIA, THAT IS FOUND

IN PEOPLE THAT ARE OBESE.

Lorie: STUDIES SHOW

PEOPLE WHO REGULARLY USE

ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS GAIN

MORE WEIGHT.

THEIR INGREDIENTS?

INSULITRIGGERINSULIN RESISTANCE.

IF YOU'RE BECOMING DEAF

AND YOU HAVE TO TURN

THINGS UP HIGHER, YOUR

BODY IS BECOMING DEAF TO

THE INSULIN SIGNAL, SO IT

JACKS UP THE INSULIN.

BUT IF INSULIN IS HIGH, IT

TURNS ON GENES THAT SAY

STORE FAT.

Lorie: THE GOOD NEWS:

INTERMITTENT FASTING CAN

OFTEN REVERSE INSULIN

ISSUES.

THAT MEANS, FOR INSTANCE,

GOING WITHOUT FOOD FOR 12

HOURS.

THE IDEA BEHIND

INTERMITTENT FASTING IS

WHEN YOU'RE NOT EATING,

YOUR ALLOWING YOUR INSULIN

LEVELS TO DROP.

YOU'RE ALLOWING INSULIN

RECEPTORS TO RESET.

SO THEN WHAT IS HAPPENING

TOWARDS THE END OF THE

FAST, YOU'RE INCREASING

INSULIN SENSITIVITY.

AND YOU'RE MAKING YOURED

BODY INSULIN SENSITIVE

AGAIN.

Lorie: INTERMITTENT

FASTING ALSO REPAIRS OUR

CELLS AND TURNS ON

LONGEVITY GENES.

SO IT MIGHT NOT BE EASY,

BUT GIVING UP SWEETS IN

THEIR MANY FORMS,

INCLUDING ARTIFICIAL

SWEETENERS, COULD PAY OFF

BIG TIME.

LORIE JOHNSON, CBN NEWS.

Pat: ALL RIGHT.

I WANT TO TALK ABOUT YOUR

INSIDES.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'VE

GOT INSIDE OF YOUR GUT?

Terry: WELL,

HOPEFULLY A LOT OF GOOD

GERMS, THE HEALTHY ONES.

Pat: YOU'VE GOT MAYBE

SEVERAL TRILLION OF THEM,

OF GOOD BACTERIA THAT IS

IN YOUR STOMACH, OKAY?

Terry: UH-HUH.

Pat: VERY IMPORTANT.

AND THOSE THINGS, IF YOU

LEAVE THEM ALONE, AND IF

THEY'RE FLOURISHING, THEY

WILL REDUCE YOUR CRAVING

FOR ALL OF THESE BAD FOODS

BECAUSE THE GOOD BACTERIA

TELL YOUR BODY EAT

HEALTHY.

BUT AT THE SAME TIME,

THERE ARE BAD GERMS THAT

WANT TO TAKE OVER.

AND LET ME ASK YOU: WHEN

YOU WERE LITTLE AND YOUR

CHILDREN WERE LITTLE, WHAT

DID THE DOCTORS GIVE YOU

WHEN YOU HAD AN INFECTION?

Terry: WELL, AN

ANTIBIOTIC.

Pat: AN ANTIBIOTIC.

THE MINUTE YOU TAKE AN

ANTIBIOTIC, DO YOU KNOW

WHAT HAPPENS?

Terry: IT KILLS THE

GOOD BACTERIA.

Pat: IF YOU DRINK ONE

SPLENDA, HALF A MILLION OF

THOSE WILL BE KILLED.

THEN YOU GET THE BACTERIA

THAT ARE TELLING YOU TO

EAT JUNK FOOD.

THEY'RE TALKING TO YOU.

Terry: YEAH.

Pat: THOSE TRILLIONS

OF LITTLE THINGS --

Terry: BUT YOU KNOW

WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THE WAY

GOD CREATED OUR BODIES,

WHAT AMAZED ME THAT THE

DOCTOR SAID, IF YOU WILL

FAST FOR 12 HOURS, THOSE

INSULIN RECEPTORS WILL SET

THEMSELVES AND YOU CAN

MAKE A DECISION TO DO

DIFFERENTLY.

Pat: AND YOU NEED

PROBIOTICS.

YOU CAN GET THEM AT THE

HEALTH STORE.

SOME HAVE THREE OR FOUR

BILLION LITTLE THINGS.

BUT THEN YOU HAVE TO HAVE

PREBIOTICS TO FEED THE

OTHER, TO KEEP IT HEALTHY.

AND LOOKING AFTER THIS GUT

BACTERIA -- I HAD NO IDEA

HOW IMPORTANT IT WAS.

BUT THIS GIVES US IMMUNITY

FROM DISEASES, FROM ALL

KINDS OF CHRONIC

INFLAMMATION.

ALL OF THE SNIFFLES AND

THE INFECTIONS WE HAVE ALL

OF THE TIME.

THESE THINGS ARE THERE TO

PROTECT US.

THE LORD HAS SET UP THIS

CULTURE IN OUR STOMACH.

AND THE ANTIBIOTICS THAT

WE TAKE KILL EVERY ONE OF

THEM.

WHEN YOU TAKE ANTIBIOTICS,

YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE A

PREBIOTIC TO COUNTER IT.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT YOGURT

AND THE VARIOUS TYPES OF

FERMENTED FOOD THAT WILL

HELP BUILD THOSE THINGS

BACK UP AGAIN.

BUT IT IS SO IMPORTANT.

THOSE LITTLE MICROBES WILL

TALK TO OUR BRAINS AND

TELL THEM EAT MORE JUNK

FOOD OR EAT HEALTHY.

AND, YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT

AN EPIDEMIC OF OBESITY.

AND PART OF THE THING IS

WHEN LITTLE KIDS ARE

GROWING UP, THEY'RE LOADED

WITH ANTIBIOTICS.

AND THEY DON'T HAVE THAT

GUT FLO FLORA THAT IS

PROTECTING THEM, THAT GOD

HAS SET UP TO PROTECT US.

VERY IMPORTANT.

I TELL YOU, DON'T BE IN

ANY HURRY TO TAKE AN

ANTIBIOTIC.

IF YOU DO, GET A HUGE

PROBIOTIC.

THEY SELL THEM IN THE

HEALTH FOOD STORES.

YOU CAN TAKE THOSE THINGS

AND YOU CAN HAVE

PREBIOTICS WHICH WILL HELP

BUILD UP YOUR IMMUNE

SYSTEM.

YOU WANT TO BE HEALTHY AND

YOU WANT TO LIVE A LONG

TIME.

YOU WANT TO BE FREE OF ALL

KINDS OF CHRONIC DISEASES.

WELL, LET THE LORD'S

INSURANCE POLICY -- AND

THAT'S WHAT IT IS, HIS

INSURANCE POLICY -- KEEP

YOU HEALTHY.

OKAY.

Terry: ABSOLUTELY.

Pat: SO MUCH FOR GUT

FLORA.

Terry: YOU'RE

SPECIALTY.

Pat: OUR CHRISTMAS

PRESENT TO YOU: TREAT YOUR

GUT FLORA AS SOMETHING

THAT IS IMPORTANT.

IT IS THERE TO MAKE YOU

HEALTHY.

AND WHEN YOU GET IT KILLED

WITH ANTIBIOTICS AND

SPLENDA AND ARTIFICIAL

SWEETENERS, YOU'RE

SUBJECTING YOURSELF TO ALL

KINDS OF HORRIBLE

DISEASES.

THAT'S MY CHRISTMAS

PRESENT TO YOU.

Terry: TIE IT UP WITH

A BOW.

[LAUGHTER]

Pat: THAT'S NOT JUST

CUT OUT SUGAR, BUT FIX

YOUR GUT FLORA SO IT WILL

TALK AND SAY THE NICE

THINGS TO YOU AND THE

CRAVINGS WILL LEAVE YOU.

OKAY.

Terry: WELL, UP NEXT,

IT'S TIME TO GET YOUR HOME

READY FOR THE HOLIDAYS.

SOUTHERN LIVING EDITOR IN

CHIEF KIMBERLY WHITMAN

SHARES HOW TO TURN YOURS

INTO A WINTER WONDERLAND.

SHE HAS SO MANY IDEAS.

DON'T GO AWAY.

Terry: WELL, I'M SURE

I DON'T HAVE TO TELL YOU,

THE CALENDAR HAS FINALLY

TURNED TO DECEMBER.

NOW IS THE TIME FOR YOU TO

START DECORATING FOR

CHRISTMAS.

BUT BEFORE YOU PULL OUT

THAT OLD CHARLIE BROWN

TREE FROM YOUR ATTIC, SEE

HOW YOU CAN GET YOUR HOME

READY FOR THE HOLIDAYS THE

SOUTHERN LIVING WAY.

Reporter: KIMBERLY

WHITMAN IS THE

EDITOR-AT-LARGE FOR

"SOUTHERN LIVING"

MAGAZINE.

SHE IS KNOWN FOR MAKING

THE ORDINARY

EXTRAORDINARY.

WITH HER CREATIVE

ENTERTAINING TIPS AND

ELEGANT STYLE.

THOSE IDEAS ARE FEATURED

IN THE PAGES OF "SOUTHERN

LIVING" EACH YEAR.

SHE SHARES HOW YOU CAN

EMBELLISH YOUR HOME WITH

SIMPLE DECORATING IDEAS

AND SERVE UP

MOUTH-WATERING RECIPES

YOUR GUESTS WILL LOVE IN

"SOUTHERN LIVING'S"

CHRISTMAS COOKBOOK.

Terry: WE WANT TO

WELCOME BACK TO "THE 700

CLUB" KIMBERLY WHITMAN.

IT IS GREAT TO HAVE YOU

HERE.

THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME

BACK.

Terry: THE COOKBOOKS

FROM "SOUTHERN LIVING" ARE

COLLECTOR ITEMS.

WHAT ARE SOME OF THE

THINGS WE SHOULD REMEMBER

AS WE THINK ABOUT

DECORATING FOR THE

HOLIDAYS?

THE COOKBOOKS ARE

INSPIRATIONAL, SO IT IS A

GREAT PLACE TO START TO

TRY TO FIND A LOOK THAT

SUITS YOU.

TODAY I BROUGHT A LOOK

THAT FEELS A LITTLE

WOODSY --

Terry: I LOVE IT.

THANK YOU.

AND YOU STILL REMEMBER

YOUR CELEBRATING SOMETHING

SPECIAL.

Terry: HALF OF IT IS

PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER

WELL.

I THINK SOMETIMES PEOPLE

STRUGGLE WITH PATTERNS AND

TECTURES AND KNOWING WHAT

IS ACCEPTABLE AND WHAT IS

NOT.

WHAT IS THE KEY TO THAT?

I ALWAYS THINK MORE IS

MORE, ESPECIALLY WHEN

YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT

PATTERNS.

WE'VE MIXED A SOLID

TABLECLOTH WITH KIND OF A

CANDY CANE STRIPE.

WE'VE GOT ALL OF THIS

GREAT TECTURE ON THE

GLASS, WHICH HAS A LITTLE

BIT OF A COUNTRY, RELAXED

FEELING.

AND WE HAVE MIXEDED IT MIXED IT WITH

THIS BEAUTIFUL, SORT OF

FANCIER GLASS THAT

REFLECTS THE SHAPE AND THE

TARTEN.

AND THE CANDY CANE SHAPED

NAPKIN.

THESE ARE THINGS YOU CAN

USE ALL YEAR LONG.

YOU CAN USE THE RED AND

WHITE ON THE FOURTH OF

JULY, OR ANY OCCASION.

Terry: IT LOOKS

WONDERFUL TOGETHER.

WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR

FAVORITE HOLIDAY

TRADITIONS?

WE DO SO MANY FUN

THINGS AT THE HOLIDAYS.

WHEN WE GOT ENGAGED, MY

FATHER-IN-LAW CALLED MY

PARENTS AND SAID, WE'LL

TAKE THANKSGIVING AND YOU

CAN HAVE CHRISTMAS.

AND WE LOVE TO DO A DINNER

ON CHRISTMAS EVE.

WE GO TO CHURCH, A

CANDLELIGHT SERVICE, AND

THEN MY MOM SETS THE TABLE

USING HER BEST THINGS.

I LOVE THAT.

IT IS DEFINITELY THE TIME

OF YEAR TO PULL OUT THE

NICE THINGS.

BUT WE LOVE TO COLLECT

HOLIDAY THINGS IN MY

FAMILY, TOO.

THESE WONDERFUL PLATES --

THESE ARE FROM THE

"SOUTHERN LIVING"

COLLECTION FROM DILLARD'S.

YOU CAN USE THEM WITH

OTHER PLATES YOU WOULD USE

ALL YEAR LONG.

SOME HAVE A WREATH, SOME

HAVE SOME GREENERY, AND

OBVIOUSLY THIS HAS THIS

LOVELY BARN AND THE DEER.

Terry: AND THIS

REALLY SETS IT OFF.

I LOVE THOSE.

THEY'RE REALLY BEAUTIFUL.

ONE OF THE THINGS

EVERYBODY LOOKS FOR IS

SOMETHING SPECIAL TO PUT

IN THE CENTER OF THE

TABLE.

YOU HAVE A CENTER PIECE

IDEA HERE.

YES.

I'M GOING TO PUT YOU TO

WORK, IF THAT'S OKAY.

Terry: YES.

YOU CAN TAKE ANYTHING

YOU HAVE, A CUTE LITTLE

SLED, A COOKIE JAR,

ANYTHING YOU MIGHT HAVE,

AND A FIND A MIX OF

GREENERY.

THESE ARE ALL THINGS YOU

CAN FIND AT THE GROCERY

STORE.

WE'VE GOT LOTS OF

DIFFERENT TECTURES,

VARIGATED LEAVES AND

EVERGREENS AND SOME ROSES.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO CUT THIS

LITTLE ROSE?

TO START IT -- WHILE

YOU'RE DOING THAT, I'LL

SHOW EVERYONE YOU CAN USE

THIS FLORAL FOAM.

YOU CAN STICK IT RIGHT

INTO THIS FLORAL FOAM THAT

HAS BEEN SOAKED IN WATER.

IT KEEPS THE FLOWERS NICE

FOR A REALLY LONG TIME.

WE CAN ADD ANOTHER SPRIG

OF EVERGREEN TO THE BACK

TO KIND OF CRADLE

EVERYTHING.

YOU HAVE A POP OF WHITE

ROSES AND THE RED HERE,

AND THE GREENERY, AND YOU

PUT IT RIGHT DOWN IN THE

CENTER OF THE TABLE.

Terry: AND YOU'VE

CONTINUED WITH THAT WHOLE

TECTURE?

YES.

THE IMPORTANT THING ABOUT

LAYERING IS KEEPING THE

TECTURES DIFFERENT AND

UNIQUE.

Terry: IT'S

BEAUTIFUL.

THAT LOOKS GREAT.

> I WANT TO TALK A

LITTLE ABOUT THE MANTEL

BECAUSE THIS IS FOR HOMES

THAT ARE BLESSED ENOUGH TO

HAVE A FIREPLACE.

YES.

Terry: THIS IS KIND

OF THE FOCAL POINT IN THE

MAIN LIVING AREA.

I LOVE THE IDEA OF

HANGING A WREATH ABOVE THE

FIREPLACE.

I LOVE PUTTING IT ON THE

FIREPLACE.

IF YOU HAVE A MIRROR ABOVE

YOUR FIREPLACE, YOU CAN

PUT THE WREATH ON TOP OF

THE MIRROR.

Terry: I'VE SEEN

THAT.

IT IS BEAUTIFUL.

AND IF YOU DON'T WANT

TO TAKE A PICTURE DOWN,

YOU CAN PUT GAR GARLAND AROUND

IT.

I LOVE TO COLLECT

NUTCRACKERS, BUT IF YOU

DON'T HAVE NUTCRACKERS,

ANYTHING TALL THAT FEELS

NOSTALGIC TO YOU, I THINK,

WILL WORK.

I LOVE THE SYMMETRY OF

GIVING TWO BIG THINGS ON

EITHER SIDE.

ADD ANY KIND OF HOLIDAY

GREENERY TO THE MANTEL.

I'M ALLERGIC TO THE REAL

GREENERY, SO WE HAVE FAUX.

AND THE FAUX, FAKE,

GREENERY LOOKS SO GOOD.

Terry: IT LOOKS LIKE

THE REAL DEAL.

AND ADD INTO THE CENTER

MAYBE A SPECIAL TOY ON AN

OLD ORNAMENT YOU MIGHT

HAVE FROM CHILDHOOD.

AND INSTEAD OF OF

STOCKINGS ON THIS MANTEL,

WE HAVE TWINE AND CLOTHES

PINS, AND WE SPELLED OUT

"SEASONS GREETINGS."

AND YOU COULD ADD HOLIDAY

CARDS THAT PEOPLE ARE

SENDING YOU.

AND MAYBE ON CHRISTMAS EVE

YOU PULL THE STOCKINGS

OUT.

Terry: ALL OF THE

IDEAS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT

ARE AVAILABLE IN THE

AMAZING "SOUTHERN LIVING"

CHRISTMAS COOKBOOK.

I'VE COLLECTED THESE FOR

YEARS, KNOWING THAT THE

GIRLS IN MY FAMILY ARE

GOING TO WANT TO DIVVY

THOSE IF WHEN I'M DONE

USING THEM.

WE WANT TO THANK DILLARD'S

FOR HELPING US PUT THIS

SEGMENT ON.

THE DARLING PLATES YOU SAW

COULD BE FOUND THERE.

AND THERE ARE

CELEBRATION IDEAS FOR THE

ENTIRE YEAR IN THE BACK OF

THE BOOK.

SO IT IS SOMETHING YOU CAN

USE ALL YEAR LONG.

Terry: AND THE

RECIPES ARE AWESOME.

THEY.

Terry: NICE TO HAVE

YOU BACK AGAIN.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU.

YOU, TOO.

Terry: WHEN WE COME

BACK, WE'RE GOING TO HEAR

A GRAMMY SELECTION FROM

"KING AND COUNTRY," AND

THAT'S ALL AFTER THIS.

WELCOME BACK TO "THE

700 CLUB."

FIREFIGHTERS ARE ON THE

SCENE OF A RAPIDLY

SPREADING WILDFIRE IN

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.

NEARLY 8,000 HOMES HAVE

BEEN EVACUATED IN THE CITY

OF SANTA PAULA.

THE WILDFIRES SEEMED TO

HAVE EXPLODED OVERNIGHT.

IT QUICKLY BURNED OVER

10,000 ACRES OF LAND.

MORE THAN 100,000

RESIDENTS ARE EXPECTED TO

BE FORCED FROM TRIER

HOMES.

THEIR

HOMES.

> THE LONGEST-SERVING

HOUSE MEMBER IS EXPECTED

TO BREAK HIS SILENCE ON A

DETROIT RADIO SHOW.

DEMOCRAT JOHN CONYERS OF

MICHIGAN WON'T RUN FOR

RE-ELECTION.

THAT COMES AS ANOTHER

WOMAN IS ACCUSING HIM OF

SEXUAL MISCONDUCT.

IN AN AFTE AFFIDAVIT, SHE

ACCUSED HIM OF RUBBING HIS

THIGHS ON HER AS SHE SAT

NEXT TO HIM IN CHURCH.

SHE IS THE COUSIN OF

ANOTHER ACCUSER.

YOU CAN ALWAYS GET THE

LATEST FROM CBN NEWS BY

VISITING OUR WEBSITE AT

cbnnews.com.

WE'LL BE BACK WITH MORE OF

TODAY'S "700 CLUB" RIGHT

AFTER THIS.

Terry: WELL, WELCOME

BACK.

YOU'VE GOT A SHOW AND TELL

ITEM, RIGHT?

Pat: OUR DEAR FRIEND,

BILL HORAN, WHO IS HEAD OF

"OPERATION BLESSING," AND

HE TAKES A VERY

WELL-DESERVED VACATION IN

DECEMBER AND GOES TO THE

CAYMAN ISLANDS.

HIS WIFE IS A SWIMMER OF

EXTRAORDINARY TALENT.

SHE PUTS ON A MASK AND

DIVES DOWN TO THE BOTTOM

OF THE SEA.

Terry: WOW!

Pat: AND SHE WAS DOWN

IN THE CAYMANS, AND THEY

SENT ME A PICTURE, AND I

THOUGHT, SHE HAS PICKED UP

A LOBSTER DOWN OFF THE

OCEAN.

AND THAT RASCAL MUST BE

15 POUNDS.

Terry: OH, MY

GOODNESS.

WOW!

Pat: GIVE ME A

CLOSE-UP OF THAT.

IT LOOKS ALMOST AS BIG AS

SHE IS.

SHE PUTS ONE OF THOSE

MASKS ON, AND SHE DIVES

LIKE A FISH.

SHE IS AN UNBELIEVABLE

FISHER.

Terry: IF YOU CAME UP

WITH THAT EVERY TIME, NO

WONDER.

Pat: WE WISH THEM

WELL.

THEY'RE HAVING A GREAT

HOLIDAY.

IT IS WELL-DESERVED.

HE IS WORKING HIS HEAD OFF

WITH "OPERATION BLESSING."

Terry: IT LOOKS LIKE

A RELAXING TIME.

Pat: HE WAS HEAD OF

THE ANGLERS CLUB IN THE

CAYMAN ISLANDS.

I THOUGHT THAT LOBSTER,

THAT PICTURE --

Terry: MAYBE THEY'LL

BRING IT BACK.

Pat: ALL RIGHT.

WHAT'S NEXT?

Terry: WELL, TODAY IS

THE THIRD DAY OF ADVENT,

AND WE WANT TO REMEMBER

THE REAL REASON FOR THE

SEASON, SO HERE IS THE

BAND "FOR KING AND

COUNTRY," CELEBRATING THE

BIRTH OF JESUS THROUGH A

CHRISTMAS SONG CALLED

"BABY BOY."

*

* SHOW ME ALL ABOUT YOUR

SORROWS *

* I'LL TELL YOU ABOUT A

CURE *

* IF ONLY YOU COULD FIGHT

THE BATTLE *

* WITH THE BABY BATTLE WHO

WON THE WAR *

* THE WAR WAS WON BY A

BABY BOY *

* HALLELUJAH

* HALLELUJAH

* HALLELUJAH

* ENDLESS JOY

* BEFORE THE START OF

NIGHT *

* THE BABY IS JESUS

CHRIST *

*

*

* HALLELUJAH

* HALLELUJAH

* HALLELUJAH

* HALLELUJAH

* ENDLESS JOY

* OH

*

*

* HALLELUJAH.

* HALLELUJAH

* HALLELUJAH

*

* HALLELUJAH

* WE CAN SING IT

* HALLELUJAH

* BELLS ARE RINGING

* HALLELUJAH

* ENDLESS JOY, GOD IS WITH

THE BABY BOY *

*

Terry: A GREAT

REMINDER THAT THIS SEASON

IS ALL ABOUT THAT BABY

BOY.

"KING AND COUNTRY" IS ON A

NATIONWIDE TOUR, AND FOR

TOUR DATES, LOCATIONS AND

TICKETS, GO CHECK OUT

forkingandcountry.com.

Pat: THEY HAVE A

MINISTRY FOR TRAFFICKED

GIRLS.

AND WE WANT TO HELP THEM

DO IT.

THEY FINALLY FOUND A

LOCATION, I THINK IN

ATLANTA, THAT IS A SHELTER

FOR THESE GIRLS.

Terry: HOW WONDERFUL.

Pat: SO THEY CAN HAVE

SOME PLACE TO GO AND SORT

OF REHAB.

THEY'RE WONDERFUL PEOPLE.

THE SAINT JAMES FAMILY.

Terry: OKAY.

TIME FOR SOME QUESTIONS

AND HONEST ANSWERS.

THIS COMES FROM A VIEWER

THAT SAYS, "I'VE BEEN

MARRIED TO THIS MAN FOR

EIGHT YEARS.

WE HAVE TWO BEAUTIFUL

GIRLS UNDER FIVE.

HE PRETENDED TO BE

CHRISTIAN WHEN WE DATED,

YET HIS ALCOHOLISM SHOWED

AT THREE MONTHS OF

MARRIAGE.

HE IS FUNCTIONAL, AS FAR

AS KEEPING HIS JOB IN THE

ARMY AND PROCLAIMS JESUS,

BUT HE CAN'T GO PAST A

WEEK WITHOUT GETTING

DRUNK.

HE PEES THE BED EVERY

TIME, AND I'M AT MY WIT'S

END.

HE DENIES HE HAS A PROBLEM

AND BLAMES ME FOR NAGGING.

I HAVE LEFT HIM MORE THAN

ONCE, BUT CAME BACK

BECAUSE OF THE CHILDREN

AND FINANCIAL STABILITY.

I DON'T HAVE FAMILY

SUPPORT.

WHAT DO I DO?

WHERE IS GOD ALL OF THESE

YEARS?

I HAVE PRAYED FOR A

MIRACLE FOR MY HUSBAND TO

BE DELIVERED.

HE IS GREAT UNTIL HE

STARTS TO DRINK, AND THEN

THE VERBAL AND EMOTIONAL

ABUSE BEGINS."

Pat: YOU KNOW, YOU

HAVEN'T DESCRIBED ANYTHING

THAT WOULD GIVE YOU

GROUNDS TO LEAVE.

I THINK WHAT YOU NEED TO

O DO IS GEDO IS GET HIM IN

COUNSELLING AND SEE IF

SOMEBODY CAN'T HELP HIM.

BECAUSE HE APPARENTLY HAS

A HEART FOR THE LORD, BUT

HE IS INVOLVED IN ALCOHOL,

AND IT IS AN ADDICTION,

AND HE NEEDS TO GET SET

FREE FROM IT.

A.A. HAS GOT TO PROGRAM

THAT IS SO GOOD.

BUT THE THING THAT MAKES

IT SUCCESSFUL IS THEY HAVE

ANOTHER FORMER ALCOHOLIC

WHO THEY TEAM UP WITH

SOMEBODY THAT IS IN REHAB.

AND BECAUSE THERE IS A

BUDDY ALONG THE WAY, THEY

CAN SURVIVE.

SO THAT'S WHAT YOU NEED TO

DO, TO FIND SOMEBODY THAT

WILL HELP HIM.

BUT HE HAS ALSO GOT TO

KNOWLEDGE THAT HACKNOWLEDGE HE HAS A

PROBLEM.

Terry: EXACTLY.

> THIS ONE SAYS, "MY

PARENTS PASSED AWAY SIX

MONTHS APART, IN 2003 AND

2004.

AND EVERYBODY IS TELLING

ME THEY ARE LOOKING DOWN

ON US.

I FEEL THAT MY LORD AND

SAVIOR WOULD NOT ALLOW

THEM TO SUFFER BECAUSE

THEY LOVE US SO MUCH.

MR. ROBERT SONSON, CAN MY

PARENTS SEE AND FEEL US

FROM HEAVEN?"

Pat: I DON'T BELIEVE

THAT IS THE CASE.

ALTHOUGH YOU DO HAVE THE

RICH MAN IN LAZARUS, AND

YOU HAVE CERTAIN

REVELATIONS OF WHO IS

THERE.

I JUST DON'T BELIEVE OUR

LOVED ONES LOOK DOWN ON US

FROM HEAVEN.

IT SOUNDS SWEET, BUT I

DON'T THINK THAT GOD LET'S

THAT HAPPEN.

THAT'S MY FEELING.

Terry: DELARA SAYS,

"WILL I GO TO HELL IF I

DON'T PAY TITHES?

I'M AN ELDERLY WOMAN ON AN

INCOME AND SOCIAL

SECURITY."

Pat: NO, YOU'RE NOT

GOING TO HELL BECAUSE YOU

DON'T PAY TITHES.

OF COURSE NOT.

YOU GIVE OUT OF THE JOY OF

YOUR HEART AND BECAUSE YOU

LOVE THE LORD.

BUT I DO THINK -- THE

BIBLE SAYS, GIVE AND IT

WILL BE GIVEN TO YOU,

PRESSED DOWN AND RUNNING

OVER.

I BELIEVE IF YOU CAN FIND

SOME WAY TO GIVE, WHAT

WILL HAPPEN IS YOU WILL

FIND THAT YOUR INCOME --

EITHER YOUR INCOME WILL

GROW OR YOUR EXPENSES WILL

DIMINISH OR WHATEVER.

BUT YOUR ECONOMIC

SITUATION WILL IMPROVE.

BUT, NO, IT HAS NOTHING TO

DO WITH HELL.

IT HAS TO DO WITH YOUR

LOVE OF THE LORD.

Terry: ELIZABETH

SAYS, "HOW WILL MY SOCIAL

SECURITY FOR 2018 BE

AFFECTED NOW THAT THE TAX

LEGISLATION HAS BEEN

PASSED?

MEDICARE AND SOCIAL

SECURITY ARE THE NEXT

AGENDA THE GOVERNMENT WILL

BE CHANGING."

Pat: NOT YET.

THE ENTITLEMENTS ARE THE

BIGGEST PART OF OUR

FEDERAL BUDGET.

AND THERE HAS TO BE

SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THE

GROWTH OF SOCIAL SECURITY.

I KNOW IT MAY NOT SOUND

POPULAR, BUT I JUST DO NOT

BELIEVE THAT WE CAN LET

PEOPLE RETIRE AT AGE 65

WHEN THEY LIVE TO BE 85

AND 90.

THERE HAS GOT TO BE

SOMETHING THAT RAISES THAT

AGE WHEN SOCIAL SECURITY

CUTS IN.

OTHERWISE THE COUNTRY IS

GOING TO GO BANKRUPT.

BUT PEOPLE WILL FIGHT LIKE

BANSHEES TO KEEP FROM

TAKING AWAY YOUR SOCIAL

SECURITY BECAUSE IT IS SO

IMPORTANT IN PEOPLE'S

ECONOMICS.

I WOULDN'T WORRY ABOUT IT

RIGHT NOW.

> WELL, WE LEAVE YOU

WITH TODAY'S POWER MINUTE,

TAKEN FROM EPHESIANS 2:

"FOR HE, HIMSELF, IS OUR

PEACE."

> WELL, TOMORROW A

SOCCER COACH STARTS A 12

YEAR HOLD ON A 30-YEAR

JOURNEY OF DRUG ADDICTION.

BUT SHE WAS SET FREE, AND

THAT GOOD STORY IS

TOMORROW.

FOR TERRY AND ALL OF

US, THIS IS PAT ROBERTSON.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR

BEING WITH US.

WE HOPE AS WE MOVE INTO

THIS HOLIDAY SEASON THAT

IT IS A GLORIOUS TIME FOR

YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

SO UNTIL TOMORROW, WE'LL

SEE YOU AGAIN.

BYE-BYE.
