Mollie Tibbits murder goes viral on social. What to do about illegal immigration; Why are motorists paying more to fill up at the pump? America divided. Bringing healing to the people; Why Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh should be confirmed. Read Transcript


- Today, from the Global Lane,

the murder of Mollie Tibbettsgone viral on social media.

It is fueled a new debateon what to do about

illegal immigration in the USA.

Summer and the Labor Day holiday weekend.

Why are motorists payingmore to fill up at the pump?

America divided.

Bringing healing to the people.

An Australian evangelist has some answers.

And I'll drive it homeon Supreme Court nominee,

Brett Kavanaugh.

And it's all right here, rightnow, from the Global Lane.

The murder of a co-ed in Iowa

is stirring national debate again

on the issue of immigration.

20-year-old Mollie Tibbettswent missing in mid-July.

Her body was recentlyfound in a corn field.

Police charged illegalimmigrant Cristhian Rivera

with that murder.

The 24-year-old Rivera

has lived in the United States illegally

for at least seven years.

Conservatives say Tibbetts' death shows

the need for tougher immigration laws.

And even Texas governor Greg Abbott says

the death of citizens like Tibbetts

is one reason his state hasbanned sanctuary cities.

Joining us with more fromWashington is Maria Espinoza.

She's National Director ofThe Remembrance Project.

Maria, it's good to see youagain, but what a tragedy.

Mollie was a young American woman

about to enter her junior year in college,

I'm sure full of hope for the future.

So how do you respond to people who say,

unfortunately, murders occurregularly in our society.

It's no reason to single out immigrants

or ban sanctuary cities

or prevent people fromcoming into our country.

What do you say?

How do you respond to them?

- Hello, Gary.

First of all, our deep condolences

go out to Mollie's entire family.

There are so many otherangel families also

that are hurting right now

and, as a result of Mollie's murder,

they're feeling sort ofa PTSD from all of this.

They're reliving thedeaths of their children

and understand that, if onlyour current laws were enforced,

just like Governor Abbott is trying to do,

like you mentioned,

their loved ones will still be here

and Mollie Tibbett would still be here

if laws were enforced, ifour borders were controlled,

and if our politicianshad the best interest

of American safety first and foremost.

- Yes, what a tragedy this was.

I can't imagine, as aparent, losing a child,

any child in any way, let alone by murder.

So our condolences dogo out to that family

and our prayers, Maria.

But the President'scritics say he overreacts.

Crimes of illegal immigrants

are not as extensive as he suggests,

that he's a racist against latinos

and other people of color.

So tell us, what is your experience

with The Remembrance Project?

- Well, Gary, The RemembranceProject began in 2009

in Houston because ofsanctuary city policies

that my husband, TimLyng, and I discovered.

And this was after the deathsof Officer Henry Canales

and Officer Rodney Johnson.

And Officer Johnson's wife, Joslyn,

filed a lawsuit againstthe City of Houston,

and that is what caught our attention.

And we quickly realizedthat the mainstream media

was not doing its job.

If we had not heard about the killings,

these preventable killingsthat permanently separate

American families, thenthe rest of the country

had not heard of it.

We created the Stolen Lives Quilt banners

in a way to honor andmemorialize Americans

that have been forgotten for so very long.

- [Gary] Okay then, Maria,what needs to be done, then,

that is not being doneto protect young women

like Mollie Tibbetts and others?

- Yes, Gary, it's very simple.

We don't need to reformthe immigration system.

We have a good system.

In fact, my father, born inMexico, came here the right way,

as millions of Americansand legal residents

enter the country.

We ask for permissionand we obey the laws.

We are in a dangerous situation here.

Our communities are riddledwith crime, MS-13 gang members,

and President Trump did notsay that every single latino

was a bad person.

He said that Mexico was notsending their very best.

And we need to enforce current laws.

And President Trump,

he needs to do all hecan within his power:

send troops to the border,double the enforcement,

double his force with ICEagents along the border,

and also, let's increase their pay

because they are puttingtheir lives on the line

every single day, not sure

if they would return totheir families safely.

- [Gary] Now tell me, Maria,are congressional candidates

calling for tougher immigration,

or are they shying away from it

as they begin their campaigns this fall?

What are the constituents telling them?

- Well, I believe thatconstituents are telling them

exactly what we are, whichis enforce current laws

and place Americans first,

follow Donald Trump'sAmerica First agenda,

and make sure that they'redoing as they promised.

And right now, there areso many elected officials

on every level of government.

As you see, there aresanctuary city policies

in cities and also states.

Those sanctuary cities need to be removed.

We do not need to be fundingsanctuary city policies

that are very dangerous.

And it's very difficultfor the American public

to run a business when there's chaos

within their communities.

- Is this an important issue

in this campaign coming up mid-term?

- Number one issue, Gary,

and it has been a numberone issue for America.

And the more that webring to the attention

of these very preventable killings

and a permanent separationof our families,

through The Remembrance Project,

we're going to do all wecan to keep it out there.

We're beginning a campaignwhere we're going to print,

unfortunately, moreStolen Lives Quilt banners

to honor and remember innocent Americans

who are no longer here in our country,

able to live out their dreams.

- And they will not havea voice this November,

but you can be their voice, I guess.

Maria Espinoza.- We are.

- The Remembrance Project.

We thank you for joiningus from Washington.

- Thank you so much, Gary,

and God bless you and all your viewers.

- Gasoline prices are still going up.

This summer, US motoristsare paying more at the pump,

at least 50 cents higherthan last year at this time.

The national average thismonth is $2.83 per gallon.

That's compared to $2.33 one year ago.

Will we pay even more atthe pump in the days ahead

and, if so, why?

Well, joining us with some insights

on the price of gas and oil

and the potential impactof sanctions on Iran

is market watcher, trader Lane Mendelsohn.

Mr. Mendelsohn is presidentat Market Technologies.

He's an expert on tradingand trading software.

So Lane, tell us, why arewe paying more at the pump

this summer compared to last year?

- Well, Gary, you've gotseveral different factors

that are coming into play.

Obviously, you've gotthe sanctions with Iran.

You have the recent changesand shifts with OPEC.

And I think what's happened recently

has caught a lot of people offguard because Saudi Arabia,

which is obviously the dominant force,

decided in July they were goingto cut back on production,

which should've reallyincreased prices even more,

but it didn't at that time.

So you've got that, you've gotthe concern about trade wars,

and there are just a lot offactors at play right now,

which is making it difficult to see

what the true outlookfor the long term is.

But there are definite, someinsights on the short term

that we can pick up oncertain clues there.

- So really, what is going to happen,

isn't affecting things right now,

but may happen or affectthem in the future.

Prices are expected to increase, I think,

just before the Labor Day holiday weekend,

so are you expecting afterthat we'll even be paying more?

- Well, you know, it's hard to say.

The further out you try to forecast,

the less accurate you can get.

Now, I can tell you about five days ago,

we got some very strong indications

that the crude oil marketwas gonna start going up,

and if you look at what's happened,

that's exactly what's happened.

And I think that is going to continue

as we move into the LaborDay weekend and beyond.

- Now a whole new setof US economic sanctions

caused Iran to take its case

to the International Court ofJustice in the Netherlands.

Here's the law advisorto President Rouhani.

- This policy is nothing butnaked economic aggression

against my country.

- How might that affectthe price of oil and gas?

- Well, I think it's going to continue

to affect the oil and gas markets.

You also have to realizethat, for the first time,

Texas was able to exportmore oil than they imported,

which is a definitesign that there has been

a lot of progress made when it comes to

becoming more energy independent

as it relates to foreign oil.

And so that is a bigmarker, a big milestone.

I think it's gonna continue.

And the reason that that's happened, Gary,

is because of new technology

that's making it easierfor us to extract oil.

And obviously, with oiland gas being a commodity,

it really comes back to supply and demand

as a major driving forcefor the price action.

- And Lane, how do you seethat impacting the world, then?

What will be the impact on theworld with the US, shortly,

becoming the largest oilproducer in the world?

- I think, ultimately,it's gonna drive prices

down significantly.

You know, we've seen oil prices

at much higher levels in the past.

They've been coming down.

Short term, we're gonna see fluctuations

and there are gonna be some tremendous

trading opportunities,both to the long side

and the short side.

But if you fast forward,

as the US becomes amuch more dominant force

in the energy arena, yes,it's going to drive oil prices

down significantly, and I thinkthat's gonna have an impact

not only on energy producing countries,

but it's gonna affect currency prices,

it's gonna affect interest rate prices,

it's gonna affect the stock market

because energy prices are aworld nucleus commodity market,

and so the fluctuations thathappen in the energy markets

will have a ripple effect andaffect all parts of the world

and all markets around the world.

- So more good news for theUS economy in the days ahead.

Your software now.

It uses artificial intelligence.

You told me before we did this interview

that you've been doingthat for a long time.

So how do you expectAI will affect trading,

market tracking, andso forth in the future?

- Well, artificial intelligence

is something that mycompany's been involved with

going to the late 1980s.

My father's been been apioneer in this field of AI,

specifically, applied tofinancial market forecasting

and stocks, commodities, and so on.

The whole key is that AI isnot gonna replace humans.

People think, oh, we're gonnabe taken over by robots.

That's not gonna happen.

What's gonna happen isAI is gonna be able to do

tasks that humans can't do

and deliver to us informationthat we can utilize

to make more intelligent decisions.

So, for example, someone who's trading

in the crude oil market,they now will be able to,

through the use of our VantagePoint

artificial intelligence technology,

yes, they can watchwhat crude oil's doing,

but the real driving forceof crude oil is going to be

what's happening in other markets.

And we're using patternrecognition to mine, like I said,

currency data, interestrate data, stock data,

other commodities, all forthe purpose of determining

how the shifts and the impacts

that those other markets are having

will ultimately drive the price of oil.

You're talking about thousandsand thousands of data points

being analyzed every single day.

A human could not do this.

It's humanly impossible.

But through the use of AI,

it can mine using machine learning,

mine this data and then deliver to us

here's where crude oil's going to go,

and we're able to do thisnow with up to 86% accuracy,

here's where crude oil is going to go

because of the impactsof these other markets.

And for the human, tohave that information,

you're gonna be able to makemuch more intelligent decisions

and, ultimately, be more profitable.

- Yes, I was gonna say, youcan make a lot more money

that way if you know what's coming.

Well, Lane Mendelsohn,- Absolutely.

- President of Market Technologies,

we appreciate you beingon top of it for us.

Thanks for being with us.

- Thanks so much, Gary.

- Most Americans would likely agree,

our country seems more divided right now

than it has been in many years.

So what should be done to bring healing

and unity to the nation?

Australian evangelist Katherine Ruonala

has some ideas.

- We believe that theFather is wanting to bring

hope and healing.

His love is so intense and so wonderful

and we know that its perfectlove that casts out fear.

It is perfect love that is the answer.

And I really believe thatthe Father has much more hope

and optimism about thisnation than we ever could.

- He loves it very much, doesn't he?

So why now, Katherine?

Why at this time?

- I believe that God is moving.

The Bible talks about askingfor rain in the time of rain.

People, when you focus on the negative,

you can become overwhelmed

with the things that are going on.

But I believe the Lord is actually moving.

We're seeing, in Australia,a remarkable revival,

particularly among young adults

as the Holy Spirit ismoving on their hearts,

people being saved on the streets.

More people are being healed and saved

on the street than in the meeting,

and a lot of people have been healed

and saved in the meeting.

So I know that this isn'tjust an isolated thing

that He's doing in Australia.

I believe, globally, the HolySpirit is awakening His church

to take the good news ofthe gospel and to preach it,

not with just persuasivewords of men's wisdom,

but with demonstrationsof the Spirit's power.

And I've been amazed.

We've had the opportunityto be ministering

these past couple of weeks here in the US

and the words of knowledge

and that healings thathave been happening,

there's an unusual grace for it in that

I'm just seeing it's such ahunger amongst the people.

- I know in your ministry,

you've seen many, manymiracles and healings.

What do you say to people who say

I've prayed, I've prayed.

People have prayed over me.

I just haven't been healed.

What do you say to them?

Well, you know, when Jesusgave a difficult teaching

to the disciples and manyof them were leaving,

he said to them, "Are you gonna go too?"

And Peter turned around and said,

"Where else am I gonna go?

"You alone have the words of life."

The reality is this iswhat the Word of God says.

If we focus on the whyGod why, when God when,

how God how, we can get bogged down

in what we don't understand.

But I tell people let's focus on who.

Who is the right question.

Rather than trying to trouble ourselves,

trying to figure out or baseour beliefs on experience,

we need to build our theology,

we need to build our hope on Jesus Christ,

who's the same yesterday,today, and forever.

And then, lean on the faithfulness of God.

Really celebrate the greatthings that He has done,

the things that you've seenHim do in your own life

or in other people's lives.

Feeding on the testimonies ofthose that have been healed

so that our hope is fixed on the one

who can do something about the situation.

We love our medical profession.

My own father's a doctor.

My daughter's a nurse.

And they can do things, butGod can do what no man can do.

And we have seen Him touch and heal

people who have been at end stage cancer.

We've seen the deaf ears opening.

We've seen God touch and heal those

that have been written offby the medical profession

as being people who'd have to suffer

with those conditions forthe rest of their lives.

And so, I believe weneed to take this hope

and the healing power of God

to show people that Godis alive and well today,

moving in the same way that He did

when Jesus walked theearth and wanting to touch

and bring healing andmiracles into people's lives.

Well, I would really encourage them

to really begin to lookthrough the gospels,

Matthew, Mark, Luke, John,

and study the life of Jesus,

to read them afresh tothink who is this Jesus

because who Jesus is,as he's revealed to us

in the Word of God, is who he wants to be

to our hearts and our nations today.

We're also focusing onan incredible opportunity

that we've had as theLord's opening doors for us

in the nation of Vietnam.

And I know just recentlyhas been the anniversary

of the Vietnam War, andthere are still so many

that have a lot of pain aboutwhat went on in that time.

Vietnam suffered so much

and so many of our Vietnamveterans suffered so much.

But we now have the opportunityat the end of this year

to go in and do a Christmas festival

to preach the gospel to thousandsand thousands of people,

with demonstrations ofthe Holy Spirit's power,

to show the love of God.

We're gonna take teams in 10 days prior

doing house building and medical

and just loving on the people.

And then, with the support ofall the major denominations

and the government, we havebeen given the opportunity

to take this good news,the message of Jesus

as Americans andAustralians partner together

to bring the good newsof the gospel to Vietnam.

We have a way, also,of seeing healing come

to the hurts that were caused.

- Grab your seatbelts and buckle up

because Democrats are getting ready

for another nasty, drag-out fight

over a Republican Supreme Court nominee.

Chuck Schumer pledges to do all he can

to stop Judge Brett Kavanaugh

from replacing retiringJustice Anthony Kennedy

on the Supreme Court.

- I'm going to fight this nomination

with everything I've got.

- But the only thing thatSenator Schumer's got

against this nominee arepolitical differences,

nothing of substance toprevent his confirmation.

Lack of experience on the bench?

Nope.

Kavanaugh has served for 12 years

on the US Court of Appeals in DC,

making 300 decisions there.

Lack of understanding of the Constitution

and the judiciary?

Nope.

He's a Yale Law School graduate.

He clerked for Justice Kennedy.

And like Justice Kagan, he'staught at Harvard Law School.

Immoral?

Nope.

He's a devout Catholicwho coaches basketball.

He serves up meals to the homeless.

Too political, you say?

Well, his time serving atthe George Bush White House

and with Special CounselKenneth Starr are pluses.

They've given him a better understanding

of how the Executive Branch of government

and the Justice Department function.

So here's the real reason

Schumer and otherDemocrats oppose Kavanaugh.

- My judicial philosophyis straightforward.

A judge must be independent

and must interpret thelaw, not make the law;

a judge must interpretstatutes as written;

and a judge must interpretthe Constitution as written,

informed by history andtradition and precedent.

- Judge Kavanaugh is an originalist.

He does not believe theConstitution has changed over time.

He doesn't think Supreme Court justices

should legislate from the bench.

When American voters andlegislators reject left-wing ideas,

liberals often judge shop.

They find a court thatshares their political views,

they present their legalcase before the judge,

the court rules in their favor.

Presto-change-o!

You suddenly have a federally imposed law

delivered from the bench.

And often, only one or twopeople make that decision

for the entire nation.

Such was the case withthe President's travel ban

and the Colorado same-sexmarriage wedding cake cases.

Thankfully, the Supreme Courtoverturned those decisions.

No, Senator Schumer, theresponsibility to legislate

belongs to you and your colleagues,

not the Supreme Courtor our federal judges.

You win some, you lose some.

I guess you're just tired of losing.

The spoils go to the victor.

This time, Donald Trump won the presidency

and the right to make another pick.

And like he did with NeilGorsuch, he's made a good one.

We all pray we won't see a repeat

of the viciousness and thecharacter assassination

that we witnessed duringthe confirmation hearings

of Robert Bork and Clarence Thomas.

Remember that?

- I am a victim of this process.

My name has been harmed.

My integrity has been harmed.

My character has been harmed.

My family has been harmed.

My friends have been harmed.

There is nothing thiscommittee, this body,

or this country can do togive me my good name back.

- Justice Thomas, you'veserved this nation

and the Supreme Court honorably.

And you do have your good name back.

Now, join us in prayingthat Judge Brett Kavanaugh

will endure and keep his.

Well, that's it from theGlobal Lane this week.

Be sure to follow us on Facebook, YouTube,

SoundCloud, iTunes, and Twitter.

And until next time, be blessed.
