> THE INJURY THAT STUNNED THE

FOOTBALL WORLD.

RYAN SHAZIER PARALYZED ON THE

FIELD.

NOW SEE HOW THIS FORMER

PITTSBURGH STEELER BECAME A

WALKING MIRACLE.

> LEAVING A KILLER BEHIND

CLOSED DOORS.

THIS FAMILY CONFRONTS A HIT-AND-

RUN DRIVER.

AND WHAT HAPPENED NEXT SHOCKED

THE COURTS.

AND ALL MY 20 YEARS I HAVE

NEVER SEEN THIS HAPPEN IN MY

COURTROOM.

> ON TODAY'S 700 CLUB.

WELCOME TO THE 700 CLUB.

CAUTIOUSLY OPTIMISTIC.

THAT IS HOW PRO-LIFERS ARE

FEELING AFTER YESTERDAY SUPREME

COURT HEARING.

CONSERVATIVE JUSTICES INDICATED

THEY MIGHT LEAD A MISSISSIPPI

LAW STAND THAT RESTRICTS

ABORTION AFTER 15 WEEKS.

THE BIG QUESTION IS WILL

THEY GO A STEP FURTHER AND

STRIKE DOWN ROE V. WADE

ALTOGETHER?

WE REPORT ON THE ARGUMENTS

INSIDE THE COURTROOM AND THE

PROTESTS OUTSIDE.

Reporter: ALMOST 50 YEARS

AFTER THE SUPREME COURT

LEGALIZED ABORTION, ITS NEW

CONSERVATIVE MAJORITY IS

SHOWING SIGNS IT WILL POSSIBLY

ALLOW THE STATES TO BAN

ABORTION MUCH EARLIER IN A

PREGNANCY.

AND IT MAY GO EVEN FURTHER.

A RIGHT TO ABORTION IS NOT

GROUNDED IN TEXT.

IT IS GROUNDED ON ABSTRACT

CONCEPTS.

Reporter: MISSISSIPPI

SOLICITOR GENERAL SCOTT STEWART

DEFENDED HIS STATES 18 WEEK BAN

AND ARGUED THAT ROE HAS NO

BASIS IN THE CONSTITUTION.

AS DID JUSTICE CLARENCE THOMAS.

IF WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE

SECOND AMENDMENT, I KNOW

EXACTLY WHAT WERE TALKING

ABOUT.

FOURTH AMENDMENT, I KNOW WERE

TALKING ABOUT.

BECAUSE IT IS WRITTEN.

WHAT SPECIFICALLY IS THE RIGHT

THAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT?

Reporter: STEWART TOLD THE

JUSTICES THAT THE STATES, NOT

THE HIGH COURT, SHOULD DECIDE.

YOU ARGUE THE CONSTITUTION

IS SILENT AND THEREFORE NEUTRAL

ON THE QUESTION OF ABORTION.

IN OTHER WORDS THAT THE

CONSTITUTION IS NEITHER PRO-

LIFE NOR PRO-CHOICE ON THE

QUESTION OF ABORTION.

BUT LEAVES THE ISSUE FOR THE

PEOPLE OF THE STATES OR PERHAPS

CONGRESS TO RESOLVE IN A

DEMOCRATIC PROCESS.

IS THAT ACCURATE?

WE ARE SAYING, LEFT TO THE

PEOPLE.

Reporter: THE LAWYER

DEFENDING MISSISSIPPI'S

ABORTION CLINIC TOLD THE COURT

IT MUST PROTECT WOMEN'S LIBERTY

AND ARGUED THAT WOMEN HAVE COME

TO RELY ON ABORTION.

WE TRIED TO EMPHASIZE HOW

IMPORTANT THE RIGHT HAS BEEN TO

WOMEN'S ABILITY TO PURSUE A

PROFESSION, TO THEIR HEALTH AND

THEIR LIVES.

Reporter: THE LIBERAL

JUSTICES WARNED THAT IF THE

COURT REVERSES ROE IT WILL FACE

LOSING THE PUBLIC'S TRUST.

WILL THIS INSTITUTION SURVIVE

THE STENCH THAT THIS CREATES,

IN THE PUBLIC PERCEPTION THAT

THE CONSTITUTION AND ITS READING

ARE JUST POLITICAL?

Reporter: OUTSIDE THE COURT,

WE SPOKE WITH WORRIED ABORTION

ACTIVISTS AND UPBEAT PRO-LIFERS.

PROTESTERS ON BOTH SIDES ARE

GATHERING IN FRONT OF THE

SUPREME COURT BEFORE SUNRISE.

AS JUSTICES CONSIDER A CASE

THAT COULD FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGE

ABORTION LAW IN THIS COUNTRY.

IT IS A HISTORICAL MOMENT.

Reporter: THE CASE MEANS A

LOT OF DANGER FOR A LOT OF

PEOPLE.

NOT EVEN THE EXPERTS ARE SURE

JUST HOW THE COURT WILL RULE.

IT IS HARD TO READ. EVEN AS

A CONSTITUTIONAL ATTORNEY.

Reporter: AFTER HEARING THE

JUSTICES ON WEDNESDAY, THERE IS

A GROWING SENSE ON BOTH SIDES

THE CHANGES COMING.

I AM OPTIMISTIC THAT ROE

WILL BE OVERTURNED.

WHETHER IN THIS CASE OR THE

NEXT CASE OR THE ONE AFTER.

WE ARE MAKING HEADWAY.

AND THAT IS WHAT IS MOST

IMPORTANT.

Reporter: WHILE JUSTICE

ROBERTS COULD BE THE ONE TO

HOLD BACK A SWEEPING RULING,

BOTH SIDES ARE PREPARING FOR

THE JUSTICES TO OVERTURN ROE.

THAT WOULD TURN THE ISSUE OVER

TO THE STATES, CREATING A NEW

DEBATE AND PERHAPS A NEW SENSE

OF URGENCY AROUND HELPING

PREGNANT WOMEN AND NEW MOMS.

TO THOSE WHO SAY THAT A

RULING OVERTURNING ROE WILL

SOMEHOW CREATE A STENCH AND

WILL THE SUPREME COURT BE ABLE

TO SURVIVE, I WOULD LIKE TO

POINT OUT THE STENCH WAS

ORIGINALLY CREATED WHEN THE

SUPREME COURT LEGISLATED FROM

THE BENCH.

AND CREATED RIGHTS THAT DID NOT

EXIST UNDER THE CONSTITUTION.

THAT IS OUR SOCIAL CONTRACT.

HERE ARE THE RIGHTS OF THE

PEOPLE, THAT THE GOVERNMENT

CANNOT A BRIDGE.

AND IF PEOPLE WANT DIFFERENT

RIGHTS OR DIFFERENT THINGS, IT

IS RESERVED TO THE STATES TO DO

THAT AND THEN IT IS RESERVED TO

THE LEGISLATIVE BRANCH, THE

CONGRESS, THE SENATE. TO CHANGE

THINGS THAT HAVE SUCH A

PROFOUND IMPACT ON OUR CULTURE.

THE POLITICIZATION OF THE COURT

HAPPENED 50 YEARS AGO.

BEFORE THAT, WERE THERE

CONTROVERSIAL DECISIONS?

YES. YOU COULD POINT TO THEM.

THE DRIVE TO OVERTURN ROE AS A

POLITICAL ACTION POINT HAPPEN

BECAUSE OF ROE.

AND WHEN YOU REMOVE ROE YOU

ACTUALLY DEPOLITICIZE THE COURT

AND YOU TAKE IT TO WHERE IT

SHOULD BE LONG.

IT SHOULD BELONG IN THE

CONGRESS, SENATE AND IN THE

STATE LEGISLATURES.

THAT IS THE CONSTITUTIONAL

SYSTEM.

IF YOU NEED TO BE EDUCATED ON

THAT, GOOD GRIEF, DO YOU NOT

UNDERSTAND. WHEN YOU START

DOING THESE THINGS BY UNELECTED

JUDGES, YOU CREATE OUTRAGE IN

THE CULTURE.

I COULD GO ON FOR A LONG TIME

ON THIS ONE.

A LOT OF COURT WATCHING AND EVEN

EXPERIENCED COURT WATCHERS ARE

SAYING WE CANNOT READ THIS.

REGARDLESS OF THE QUESTIONING

FROM THE JUSTICES. WHAT THE

OUTCOME WILL BE.

WE WILL NOT KNOW UNTIL WE CAN

ACTUALLY READ THE OPINION.

> FORMER VICE PRESIDENT MIKE

PENCE HAS HIGH HOPES THAT THE

DOBBS CASE COULD HELP REVERSE

ROE V. WADE.

WHO WAS THE ONE SUPREME COURT

JUSTICE THAT CAUSES THEM

CONCERN?

WE HAVE MORE ON THAT STORY FROM

THE CBN NEWSROOM.

> IN AN EXCESSIVE INTERVIEW

WITH CBN NEWS THE FORMER VICE

PRESIDENT EXPRESSED CONFIDENCE

THAT THE SUPREME COURT MIGHT

VERY WELL OVERTURN ROE VERSUS

WADE.

HE ALSO DEFENDED HIS DECISION

TO CERTIFY THE 2020 ELECTION ON

JANUARY 6, SAYING HE RELIED ON

THE BIBLE AS HIS GUIDE THAT

DAY.

THE CHIF POLITICAL ANALYST,

DAVID BRODY HAS THE STORY.

Reporter: FOR MIKE PENCE THE

BATTLE TO REVERSE ROE V. WADE

GOES BACK DECADES TO HIS TIME

AS A CONGRESSMAN.

I AM MIKE PENCE, I AM FROM

INDIANA, AND I AM PRO-LIFE.

Reporter: YEARS LATER THE

FORMER VP CAN TASTE THE

POSSIBLE VICTORY.

GREAT TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

THANK YOU.

Reporter: IN OUR EXCLUSIVE

INTERVIEW PENCE BELIEVES THAT

DOBBS VERSUS JACKSON WOMEN'S

HEALTH CASE, COULD FINALLYHELP

REVERSE THE LANDMARK 1973

DECISION LEGALIZING ABORTION.

HE THINKS THE CHIEF JUSTICE,

WHO HAS BEEN A THORN IN THE

SIDE TO CONSERVATIVES, MIGHT

EVEN COME ON LORD AS WELL.

WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT THIS

BEFORE.

THE DISAPPOINTMENT, YOUR WORDS

ABOUT JOHN ROBERTS . HOW

CONCERNED OR WORRIED ARE YOU

ABOUT HIM?

I HAVE BEEN DISAPPOINTED IN

THE CHIEF JUSTICE.

FROM TIME TO TIME.

BUT ON THE ISSUE OF LIFE, HE

HAS SHOWN SOME CONSISTECY

WHICH GIVES ME HOPE.

THAT THERE IS A POSSIBILITY

THAT THE CHIEF JUSTICE COULD

JOIN THE FIVE MEMBERS OF THE

CONSERVATIVE MAJORITY ON THE

SUPREME COURT TO GIVE US A

FRESH START FOR LIFE.

Reporter: SINCE HE HAD

DONALD TRUMP LEFT OFFICE, THEY

HAVE SEEN A TOTAL REVERSAL OF

THEIR PRO-LIFE AGENDA.

JOE BIDEN IS LEADING THE

MOST PRO-ABORTION

ADMINISTRATION IN AMERICAN

HISTORY.

WHICH SADLY FOLLOWS THE MOST

PRO-LIFE ADMINISTRATION IN

AMERICAN HISTORY.

Reporter: SINCE PENCE LEFT

OFFICE HE HAS BEEN UNDER

CRITICISM BY A SEGMENT OF TRUMP

SUPPORTERS FOR HIS ROLE IN

CERTIFYING THE 2020 ELECTION

RESULTS ON JANUARY 6.

THEY CALLED YOU A TRAITOR.

I NEED YOU TO RESPOND TO THESE

FOLKS.

THIS IS A CONSISTENT THING I

HEAR EVERY SINGLE DAY.

ON JANUARY 6 I SAID I BELIEVE

THERE WERE IRREGULARITIES ABOUT

WHICH I WAS CONCERNED.

AND I WANTED TO HAVE A FAIR

HEARING BEFORE THE CONGRESS.

BUT FROM THE FOUNDING OF THIS

NATION FORWARD, IT HAS BEEN

WELL ESTABLISHED THAT ELECTIONS

ARE TO BE GOVERNED AT THE STATE

LEVEL.

AND THE ONLY ROLE THE CONGRESS

HAS IS TO OPEN AND COUNT THE

ELECTORAL VOTES THAT ARE

SUBMITTED BY STATES ACROSS THE

COUNTRY.

NO MORE AND NO LESS THAN THAT.

IN JANUARY 2017 I TOOK AN OATH

TO SUPPORT AND DEFEND THE

CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED

STATES.

THE BIBLE SAYS IN PSALM 15, HE

KEEPS HIS OATH EVEN WHEN IT

HURTS.

ON THAT DAY, I CAN RELATE TO

THAT SENTIMENT.

BUT I WANTED TO KEEP MY OATH TO

THE CONSTITUTION.

I DON'T KNOW IF PRESIDENT TRUMP

AND I WILL EVER SEE EYE TO EYE

ON THAT DAY.

OR THAT MANY OF OUR MOST ARDENT

SUPPORTERS WILL AGREE WITH MY

DECISION THAT DAY.

BUT I KNOW I DID THE RIGHT

THING.

Reporter: WHAT ABOUT HIS

NEXT DECISION REGARDING THE

FUTURE?

MIKE PENCE TRAVEL TO NEW

HAMPSHIRE THIS MONTH, WHICH

FUELS SPECULATION OF A

PRESIDENTIAL RUN.

BUT WHAT IF DONALD TRUMP ENTERS

THE RACE?

WE HAVE KNOWN EACH OTHER A

LONG TIME, I WILL TELL YOU THAT

FOR RIGHT NOW, MY FOCUS IS

ENTIRELY ON DOING EVERYTHING IN

MY POWER TO SUPPORT THE

CONSERVATIVE CAUSE AND WIN BACK

THE CONGRESS AND STATE HOUSES

ALL ACROSS THIS COUNTRY IN 2022.

WE WILL LET THE FUTURE TAKE

CARE OF ITSELF.

AFTER THAT.

I PROMISE TO KEEP YOU POSTED.

Reporter: MIKE PENCE TAKING

IT ONE DAY AT A TIME IN RIGHT

NOW, WINNING ON THE LIFE ISSUE

WITH THE SUPREME COURT IS THE

TOP PRIORITY.

> TO THE CORONAVIRUS CRISIS

IN AMERICA.

THE FIRST CONFIRMED U.S. CASE

OF THE OMICRON VARIANT HAS BEEN

FOUND IN CALIFORNIA.

A TRAVELING ATTORNEY RETURNING

FROM SOUTH AFRICA SHOWED MILD

SYMPTOMS.

OFFICIALS REPORT THE PERSON HAD

BEEN FULLY VACCINATED BUT IS

NOT YET ELIGIBLE FOR A BOOSTER

AND IS NOW RECOVERING.

THIS AS PRESIDENT BIDEN

ANNOUNCED A STRATEGY FOR

FIGHTING THE VIRUS THIS WINTER,

INCLUDING EXTENDING MASK

REQUIREMENTS ON PUBLIC TRANSIT

UNTIL MARCH 18.

INCREASED ACCESS TO TESTING AND

TIGHTENING REGULATIONS ON ALL

INTERNATIONAL TRAVELERS.

> CBN MEDICAL REPORTER LORIE

JOHNSON IS HERE TO TELL US MORE

ABOUT THE VARIANT.

THE TRAVELER HAD MILD SYMPTOMS,

IS THAT WHAT WE CAN EXPECT?

AS WAS JUST POINTED OUT, THE

TRAVELER WHO CAME TO SAN

FRANCISCO FROM SOUTH AFRICA HAD

ALREADY BEEN DOUBLE VACCINATED

WAS NOT YET ELIGIBLE FOR A

BOOSTER.

WHICH INDICATES THIS PERSON

PROBABLY HAS A LOT OF

ANTIBODIES AND MAY EVEN BE

YOUNG AND HEALTHY.

BECAUSE MANY PEOPLE WHO WERE

OLDER AND SICKER THAT THE

VACCINATIONS A LONG TIME AGO

AND HAVE BEEN ELIGIBLE FOR

BOOSTERS FOR A LONG TIME.

ALSO IN SOUTH AFRICA WHERE THE

MAJORITY OF CASES HAVE BEEN

IDENTIFIED, HEALTH OFFICIALS

SAY MOST OF THOSE PEOPLE ARE

YOUNG.

THE POPULATION IN SOUTH AFRICA

IS VERY YOUNG, UNDER 40.

THEY ARE REPORTING.

MANY HAVE IMMUNITY, HAVING HAD

CORONAVIRUS BEFORE AND SOME OF

THEM WERE VACCINATED.

THE QUESTION IS, WHAT ABOUT

PEOPLE WHO HAVE NO IMMUNITY?

AND WHAT ABOUT PEOPLE WHO ARE

OLDER AND SICKER?

WE LIKELY WILL FIND OUT ABOUT

THE IMPACT ON THOSE PEOPLE FOR

A COUPLE OF WEEKS.

IS THAT WHY THE CDC IS

RECOMMENDING THAT IF YOU ARE

OVER 60, YOU SHOULD NOT TRAVEL?

THIS VIRUS SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO

BREAK THROUGH ANY VACCINES.

WE HAVE HAD ONE CASE REPORTED

IN THE U.S. THAT TRAVELER IS

VACCINATED.

AND STILL GOT THE VIRUS.

IS THAT WHY CDC IS SAYING IF

YOU ARE OVER 60 OR IN AN AT

RISK GROUP IT IS THE BEST THING

RIGHT NOW, NOT TO TRAVEL AT

ALL?

YESTERDAY THE WHITE HOUSE

CAME OUT AND MADE AN

ANNOUNCEMENT AND SAID, IF YOU

ARE FULLY VACCINATED YOU CAN

GATHER INSIDE WITH OTHER PEOPLE

WHO ARE FULLY VACCINATED.

AND SOME DOCTORS SAY, PEOPLE

WHO ARE IMMUNE FROM NATURAL

IMMUNITY HAVING RECOVERED FROM

IT.

BUT IF THERE IS NO IMMUNITY,

TAKE THE SAME PRECAUTIONS.

RIGHT NOW, HEALTH CENTERS ALL

ACROSS THE COUNTRY ARE TESTING,

WHETHER THE VACCINES ARE BEING

EFFECTIVE AGAINST THE OMICRON

VARIANT.

THEY ARE GROWING THE ACTUAL

VIRUS AND USING SYNTHETIC

VERSIONS.

THAT TAKES A LITTLE WHILE.

UNTIL THEN, HEALTH OFFICIALS

SAY IF YOU HAVE NOT GOT

VACCINATED, GET YOUR VACCINE.

IF ELIGIBLE FOR A BOOSTER, GET

THE BOOSTER.

WE WILL HAVE INFORMATION

FORTHCOMING. RIGHT NOW, ONLY

ABOUT 200 CASES HAVE BEEN

IDENTIFIED.

WE ARE STILL WORKING WITH A

VERY FEW NUMBER.

DO YOU HAVE A PREDICTION

WHEN WE WILL KNOW WHETHER

EITHER NATURAL IMMUNITY OR A

VACCINATION WILL PROTECT

AGAINST THIS VARIANT?

ARE WE TALKING WEEKS OR MONTHS?

THEY SAY IN A COUPLE WEEKS

THEY SHOULD KNOW.

THEY ARE ACTUALLY TAKING BLOOD

FROM PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN FULLY

VACCINATED.

AND PUTTING THE VACCINE IN THE

BLOOD IN THE LAB AND SEEING IF

THE ANTIBODIES IN THAT BLOOD

NEUTRALIZED THE VARIANT.

THE VIRUS.

THAT WILL TAKE A COUPLE OF

WEEKS.

WE SHOULD HAVE INFORMATION.

RIGHT NOW, PEOPLE ARE VERY

OPTIMISTIC.

AS YOU MENTIONED, THE CASES WE

HAVE SEEN SO FAR HAVE BEEN

PRETTY MILD.

WE CAN HOPE AND PRAY THAT IS

GOING TO BE A TREND MOVING

FORWARD. THANK YOU FOR THAT

INFORMATION.

IKNOW YOU WILL KEEP US POSTED.

TAKING CALLS FROM THE PRESIDENT

WHILE GETTING A PACIFIER FOR

HER DAUGHTER.

KAYLEIGH McENANY LOOKS BACK AT

HER TIME AS WHITE HOUSE PRESS

SECRETARY.

WHAT WAS GOING THROUGH HER MIND

BEFORE SHE FIRST BRIEFED THE

NATION?

WHAT WAS THE HARDEST DAY?

AND WHAT WERE THE INDISPENSABLE

PRAYERS THAT HELPED HER GET

THROUGH HER JOB?> PITTSBURGH

STEELER PRO BOWLER RYAN SHAZIER

REMEMBERS THE BONE CRUSHING PLAY

THAT DERAILED HIS CAREER.

AND THE FIRST WORDS HE SAID TO

HIS FATHER AFTER HIS

DEVASTATING INJURY.

ALL OF THAT AND MORE IS STILL

AHEAD ON TODAY'S 700 CLUB.

> WE HAVE ALL HEARD THE

STORIES OF SUPER MOMS WHO CAN

SCALE TALL BUILDINGS AND STOP

SPEEDING LOCOMOTIVES.

BUT WE'VE GOT ONE FOR YOU.

SHE HELD A PACIFIER TO HER

BABY'S LIPS, WHILE HANDLING A

CALL FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE

UNITED STATES.

KAYLEIGH McENANY WAS THE MOTHER

OF A FIVE-MONTH-OLD WHEN SHE

TOOK THE JOB AS PRESS

SECRETARY IN THE TRUMP WHITE

HOUSE.

WHAT WAS ONE OF THE HARDEST

DAYS OF HER TENURE?

AND HOW DID MILLIONS OF

CHRISTIANS HELP HER GET THROUGH

IT?

RECENTLY SHE TALKED WITH

ABIGAIL ROBERTSON ABOUT BEING

CALLED TO HER ROLE FOR SUCH A

TIME AS THIS.

FOR ALMOST A YEAR KAYLEIGH

McENANY HAD A FRONT ROE SEAT TO

SOME OF THE MOST HIGH-STAKES

MOMENTS IN OUR COUNTRY'S

HISTORY.

IN

JOURNEY THROUGH THE WHITE

FOR THE RIDE.

AND DESCRIBES HOW WITH FAITH IN

GOD CARRIED HER THROUGH.

I WAS ONE PIECE IN A MUCH

BIGGER PUZZLE AND THAT IS GOD'S

PLAN FOR ALL OF US. Reporter:

RELYING ON GOD WAS KEY TO HER

SUCCESS AT THE WHITE HOUSE.

ONE OF THE THINGS I DID, THE

FIRST TIME I TOOK TO THE PODIUM

WAS I TALKED TO SARAH SANDERS

AND SHE SENT ME A LIST OF

ADVICE AND ONE WAS, PRAY.

Reporter: PRAYER PLAYED AN

IMPORTANT ROLE AHEAD OF HER

FIRST BRIEFING ON MAY 1, 2020.

I WAS SUPPOSED TO TAKE TO

THE PODIUM AT 2:00 P.M.

I AM IN MY OFFICE CRYING OUT OF

SUCH NERVES.

SARAH TOLD ME AND MOST

IMPORTANTLY, DON'T WORRY AND

PRAY BUT I WAS WONDERING.

I WENT TO THE WEST WING BATHROOM

AND GOT ON MY KNEES AND PRAYED.

VICE PRESIDENT MIKE PENCE WENT

LIKE THIS AND SAID I HAVE BEEN

PRAYING FOR YOU WHICH MEANT A

LOT.

IT WAS CHRISTIANS LIKE SARAH

AND THE VICE PRESIDENT AND

CHRISTIANS ACROSS THE COUNTRY

WHO PRAYED FOR THE

ADMINISTRATION THAT I THINK

HELPED.

I KNOW IT HELPED THE TRUMP

ADMINISTRATION ALONG THE WAY

AND IT CERTAINLY HELPED ME.

Reporter: PRAYING WITH HER

TEAM AHEAD OF BRIEFINGS SOON

BECAME THE NORM.

YOU WERE THERE AT A SHORT TIME

IN THE COUNTRY AND A LOT

HAPPENED.

WHAT WAS ONE OF THE HARDEST

DAYS THAT YOU WENT THROUGH?

ONE OF THE HARDEST DAYS FOR

ME WAS WHEN THE PRESIDENT OF

THE UNITED STATES GOT COVID-19.

IT WAS THE MOST FEARFUL I HAVE

BEEN.

IT WAS EXTREMELY EERIE TO BE IN

THE WHITE HOUSE IN A WEST WING

WITHOUT A COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF IN

THE OVAL OFFICE

Reporter: DESPITE A RESUME

THE QUALIFIED HER FOR THE JOB,

SHE CREDITS THE LORD FOR

LEAVING HER THERE.

I WAS BROUGHT TO THIS

POSITION FOR SUCH A TIME AS

THIS BY CHRIST.

I DID NOT MAKE IT ON MY OWN.

I WANT YOU TO KNOW, YOU ARE

WHERE YOU ARE IN THE PLACE IN A

TIME OR CIRCUMSTANCE IN YOUR

BODY FOR A REASON ANY PURPOSE.

IF YOU ASK CHRIST TO GUIDE YOU,

HE WILL TAKE YOU TO SHOW YOU

THE PLAN HE HAS FOR YOUR LIFE.

Reporter: HER DAUGHTER WAS

JUST FIVE MONTHS OLD WHEN SHE

STARTED AT THE WHITE HOUSE.

I LEARNED HOW TO HOLD A

PACIFIER IN MY DAUGHTER'S LIPS

WHILE TAKING A CALL FROM THE

PRESIDENT AND ANSWERING

REPORTERS IN-BETWEEN.

Reporter: KAYLEIGH McENANY

SHARES HOW TRUMP REACTED TO

CONSTANT NEGATIVE MEDIA REPORTS

. AND THE STORY THAT UPSET HIM

MOST.

I CAN SAY IT IS THE ATLANTIC

STORY OF THE PRESIDENT DOING A

RALLY IN THE STORY COMES OUT

THAT SAYS, PRESIDENT TRUMP HAD

CALLED FALLEN MILITARY MEN AND

WOMEN SUCKERS AND LOSERS.

IT WAS CATEGORICALLY FALSE.

Reporter: SINCE LEAVING

OFFICE, OTHER FORMER

DEMONSTRATION OFFICIALS HAVE

WRITTEN BOOKS SHARING

UNFLATTERING DEPICTIONS OF LIFE

INSIDE THE TRUMP WHITE HOUSE.

IT IS FRUSTRATING.

IT DOES NOT RING TRUE TO THE

PERSON THAT I KNEW.

WAS HE A TOUGH BOSS?

CERTAINLY.

HE IS THE PRESIDENT OF THE

UNITED STATES.

WE KNOW PRESIDENT TRUMP DEMANDS

THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF HARD WORK

FROM THOSE AROUND HIM.

BUT HE ALSO IS A FATHER, A

GREAT FAMILY MAN AND SOMEONE

WHO I GREW TO KNOW AND LOVE.

IF PRESIDENT TRUMP RUNS IN

2024, WILL YOU BE PART OF THE

CAMPAIGN?

I NEVER SAY NEVER.

I HOPE TO HAVE MORE CHILDREN.

WE WILL SEE.

IT WILL BE HARD TO BE A MOM AND

BE ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL.

THE GREATEST HONOR

PROFESSIONALLY SPEAKING OF MY

LIFE, WAS GETTING THE CALL TO

BE PRESS SECRETARY AND BEING

ASKED TO SERVE IN PUBLIC

SERVICE AT A HIGH LEVEL IN

GOVERNMENT, IT IS AN HONOR.

WHO KNOWS?

IF I WAS ASKED TO DO IT AGAIN,

IT WAS THE HIGH HONOR OF A

LIFETIME.

Reporter: KAYLEIGH McENANY

SHE DOES NOT KNOW IF FORMER

PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL RUN AGAIN

IN 2024, REGARDLESS, SHE

BELIEVES THE GOP IS STRONGER

AND MORE UNITED THAN EVER

BEFORE.

REPORTING FROM VIRGINIA,

ABIGAIL ROBERTSON, CBN NEWS.

ANY PRESS SECRETARY FOR

DONALD TRUMP ABSOLUTELY

DESERVES A MEDAL OF HONOR.

IN THAT FOUR-YEAR TERM, HERE

ARE SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF

THE FALSE STORIES THAT WERE PUT

FORWARD. AT THE BEGINNING OF

THE ADMINISTRATION THE FALSE

STORY OF RUSSIAN COLLUSION.

THAT IS NOW COME OUT THAT THE

STEELE DOSSIER WAS COMPLETELY

MADE UP AND IT WAS PART OF THE

HILLARY CLINTON CAMPAIGN.

THERE WERE CAMPAIGN OPERATIVES

BEHIND THAT.

FUNDING AND ALL OF THIS.

AND WHY THE FBI DID NOT CALL IT

FOR WHAT IT IS, IS A COMPLETE

MYSTERY.

IT BECAME A DOMINANT STORY FOR

TWO YEARS.

THEN YOU HAVE THE NEW YORK

TIMES WITH THE DISCREDITED STORY

OF THE RUSSIAN BOUNTY FOR U.S.

SOLDIERS IN AFGHANISTAN.

AND TRUMP WAS ALLOWING IT AND

KNEW ABOUT IT AND DID NOT BRING

IT UP WITH PUTIN.

THAT STORY WAS IN THE ATLANTIC.

AND WE LEARNED THIS PHRASE,

FAKE NEWS.

THE LEADING NEWS PUBLICATIONS

OF OUR COUNTRY, I'M TALKING NEW

YORK TIMES, WASHINGTON POST,

LITERALLY BECAME PROPAGANDA

ARMS FOR A POLITICAL OPPOSITION.

AND TO LIVE THROUGH ALL OF THAT

IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE.

OF COURSE SHE NEEDED PRAYER.

BUT SHE SURVIVED IT AND HATS

OFF TO HER FOR DOING IT.

I STILL WONDER WHERE IS THE

RETRIBUTION FOR ALL OF THAT?

HAMSTRINGING AN ADMINISTRATION

FOR THAT PERIOD OF TIME, HAVING

A SPECIAL PROSECUTOR, MAKING

SURE THAT EVERYBODY WORKING IN

THE WHITE HOUSE HAD TO HAVE

THEIR OWN PRIVATE COUNSEL IN

CASE THEY GOT CALLED IN FRONT

OF THE U.S. CONGRESS. ALL OF

THESE THINGS ARE ABSOLUTELY

AMAZING IN A OPEN AND FREE

DEMOCRACY.

WHAT AN INCREDIBLE PERIOD OF

TIME FOR OUR COUNTRY.

HISTORY WILL NOT BE KIND TO ANY

OF THAT.

AND I HOPE GOING FORWARD, WE

THE PEOPLE, ARE NOT GOING TO BE

KIND AND CALL IT FOR WHAT IT

IS.

RYAN SHAZIER JOINS IS NOW

VIA SKYPE.

WE WELCOME YOU TO THE PROGRAM

TODAY.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING

ME. IT HAS BEEN ALMOST EXACTLY

4 YEARS SINCE YOUR LIFE CHANGED

FOREVER.

WHEN YOU SHARE WITH US WHAT

HAPPENED ON DECEMBER 4 IN

2017? ON DECEMBER 4, WE WERE

PLAYING THE CINCINNATI BENGALS.

IT WAS A REGULAR GAME.

IT WAS A MONDAY NIGHT GAME SO

IT WAS A PRETTY BIG GAME.

WHEN I PLAYED IN THAT GAME I

WAS NOT EVEN SUPPOSED TO PLAY.

I HAD A HIGH ANKLE SPRAIN BUT I

WANTED TO PUSH FORWARD AND

PLAYING THE GAME.

I HAD A HISTORY OF HAVING

INJURIES AND A WANTED TO PUSH

THROUGH.

ON THE PLAY I GOT INJURED, WAS

A ROUTINE TACKLE.

THE TACKLE I MADE 1000 TIMES

BEFORE.

I ACTUALLY FELT IT WAS AN EASY

TAKE A TACKLE TO MAKE SO I

THOUGHT ABOUT THE NEW RULES

THAT THE NFL WAS TRYING TO

IMPLEMENT ABOUT NOT TRYING TO

USE YOUR HEAD.

AND TRY TO TACKLE MORE WITH

YOUR SHOULDER.

WHEN I WAS PLAYING BEFORE I DID

NOT TRY TO HIT PEOPLE WITH MY

HEAD OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

I JUST TRIED TO PLAY THE BEST I

COULD AND RUN AS FAST AS I CAN

TO MAKE IT RIGHT TACKLE.

I SLOWED DOWN TO MAKE A GREAT

TACKLE AND I PUT MY HEAD INTO

HIS HIP AND IT WAS PRETTY SCARY

AFTER THAT MOMENT.

CERTAINLY AFTER YOUR INJURY

YOU CALLED YOUR DAD, WHAT DID

YOU SAY?

SOME OF THE FIRST WORDS I

TOLD MY DAD WAS, CAN YOU PRAY

FOR ME?

THE REASON I ASKED WAS BEFORE

EVERY GAME IN HIGH SCHOOL,

COLLEGE AND PROFESSIONAL, I

WOULD NOT GO ONTO THE FIELD

UNTIL I PRAYED WITH MY FATHER.

I WANTED HIM TO BE ONE OF THE

LAST PEOPLE THAT I TALK TO THAT

WAS NOT A TEAMMATE OR A COACH.

AND I ASKED HIM TO PRAY FOR ME

BECAUSE I KNEW I WOULD GET

THROUGH THIS BUT I KNEW HOW

STRONG OUR FAITH IS AND WE

ALWAYS TALK TO GOD BEFORE EVERY

SITUATION.

THE GOOD AND THE BAD.

I KNEW IT WOULD BE A STRUGGLE.

I JUST WANTED HIM TO PRAY FOR

ME IN THAT SITUATION.

DID YOU REALIZE HOW SERIOUS

IT WAS RIGHT AWAY?

I DID NOT.

ONE THING I STRUGGLE WITH IS,

IS HAVING A NEGATIVE MINDSET.

I KNOW SOME PEOPLE WILL SAY,

WHAT YOU MEAN BY THAT?

REMAINING POSITIVE IN EVERY

SITUATION, IT COULD BE A SUNNY

DAY THE NEXT DAY.

YOU COULD BE FALLING DOWN AND

SOMEONE WILL CATCH YOU.

I AM THE TYPE OF GUY.

I WILL ALWAYS SEE THE GOOD IN

EVERY SITUATION.

WHEN I GOT INJURED I FELT IT

WAS NOT AS BAD AS IT WAS.

I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A ROUTINE

INJURY.

I THOUGHT IT WAS A STING OR.

AND IN FOOTBALL HIS FINGER,

YOUR SHOULDER GOES NUMB A

LITTLE BIT BUT IT COMES BACK.

THAT IS WHAT I THOUGHT WAS

GOING ON.

AFTER A WHILE I NOTICED IT WAS

MORE SERIOUS.

DOCTORS ACTUALLY GAVE YOU

ONLY 20% CHANCE OF EVER WALKING

AGAIN.

AT ONE POINT, YOU ASKED GOD,

WHY ME? WHAT DID YOUR DAD SAY

TO THAT?

I WOULD COUNT ON MY HANDS

HOW MANY TIMES I SAID, WHY ME.

I DID NOT WANT TO SAY THAT.

BUT THERE WERE TIMES I QUESTION

GOD AND HIS MOTIVE IN ME

GETTING INJURED.

A LOT OF TIMES EVERYBODY THINKS

WHEN THINGS ARE GOING IN THE

DIRECTION YOU WANT THAT IS

GOD'S PURPOSE IN GOD'S WAY OF

FULFILLING YOUR DREAM BUT ALSO

GOD'S DREAM.

BUT I THINK GOD ALLOWING ME TO

PLAY FOOTBALL, TO ALLOW ME TO

GET WHAT I WANTED AS WELL BUT TO

USE MY NAME TO USE HIS NAME.

AND I THINK THAT IS THE MESSAGE

I GOT.

I STARTED -- IT WAS NOT WHY ME,

BUT WHAT IS THE MEANING OF

THIS, LORD?

WHEN YOU ASK WHY ME, YOU LOOK

BACK AT ALL THE THINGS THAT

COULD'VE HAPPENED. I DON'T WANT

TO LIVE IN THAT KIND OF WORLD.

EVERYBODY'S DREAM IS THEY ARE A

BILLIONAIRE AND EVERYTHING IS

PERFECT AND NOBODY LIVES IN

THAT WORLD.

EVEN THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE

EVERYTHING GOING IN THE RIGHT

DIRECTION, THEY GO THROUGH

ADVERSITY AS WELL.

I DON'T LIKE TO USE WHY ME.

ONE OF THE BIGGEST TURNING

POINTS FOR YOU CAME ABOUT 10

DAYS AFTER SURGERY.

TELL US ABOUT THAT.

ABOUT 10 DAYS AFTER SURGERY

I HAD MY COUSIN, HE IS A VERY

CLOSE FRIEND.

ONE OF THE THINGS I STRUGGLE

WITH, I WAS PRETTY SICK. WITH

ME BEING SICK, I COULD NOT HELP

MYSELF. SOMETIMES YOU HAD TO

THROW UP OR YOU HAD TO GO TO

THE BATHROOM.

IN THIS INSTANCE HE WAS THERE

CHECKING UP ON ME AND I WAS

SICK.

I HAD THROWN UP AND I THREW UP

ON TO MYSELF.

I TALK ABOUT THIS IN MY BOOK.

THAT WAS THE WEAKEST MOMENT I

FELT THE INJURY.

FOR HIM, HE ALWAYS HAD SEEN ME,

RYAN THE ALL-PRO, RYAN THE ALL-

AMERICAN.

HE HAD SEEN ME IN HIGH SCHOOL.

HE KNEW ME WHEN I WAS A KID.

HE SAW MY JOURNEY AND HOW I

CONTINUED TO OVERCOME ADVERSITY

. OVERCOME ALL THESE OBSTACLES.

I WAS LIKE A MENTOR TO HIM AND

A STRONG FIGURE TO HIM.

AND FOR HIM TO SEE ME IN THAT

STATE, AND I WOULDN'T THROWING

UP.

YOU KNOW HOSPITAL BEDS ARE,

THEY HAVE THE GUARDRAILS. I AM

THROWING UP, IT HIT THE

GUARDRAIL AND HIT ME BACK IN MY

FACE.

REALLY SHOWED ME HOW WEAK I WAS

IN THAT MOMENT.

THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT REALLY

GOT TO ME.

YOU FORMALLY ANNOUNCED HER

RETIREMENT IN 2020.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING NOW?

SOME OF THE THINGS I'M DOING

NOW WHICH I'M EXCITED ABOUT, I

STARTED THE RYAN SHAZIER FUND

FOR SPINAL REHABILITATION.

IT ALLOWS PEOPLE WITH INJURIES

TO GIVE THEM THE SAME SUPPORT.

I UNDERSTAND PEOPLE DON'T GET

THE SAME AMOUNT OF REHAB.

I AM BLESSED TO BE ON A FEW

PODCASTS AND ONE SHOW IS WITH

THE HOSPITAL NETWORK THAT

HELPED ME, UPMC.

IT TALKS ABOUT PEOPLE GOING

THROUGH ADVERSITY AND GOING

THROUGH LIFE ALTERING

CHALLENGES, DISEASES, ILLNESSES

AND HOW THEY OVERCAME.

AND INTRODUCE REGULAR PEOPLE

AND ALSO I STARTED A BUSINESS.

I KNOW YOU WILL IMPACT MANY

LIVES.

NOT JUST WITH YOUR STORY, BUT

WITH YOUR CONCERN AND YOUR

SUPPORT TODAY.

IT IS A WONDERFUL STORY, RYAN.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WRITING,

WALKING MIRACLE.

IT IS A BRAND-NEW BOOK AND IT

IS AVAILABLE NATIONWIDE.

RYAN SHAZIER, THANK YOU SO MUCH

AND GOD BLESS YOU AND THE WORK

YOU'RE DOING NOW.

THANK YOU SO MUCH I AM

REALLY EXCITED TO BE HERE AND

THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.

I THINK THIS BOOK RELATES FOR

ANYBODY GOING THROUGH ADVERSITY

OR STRUGGLES RIGHT NOW.

I LOOK FORWARD TO EVERYBODY

CHECKING IT OUT.

IT WILL BE A BLESSING.

THANK YOU.

> UP NEXT, FACE-TO-FACE WITH

A KILLER.

ONE FAMILY CONFRONTS THE HIT

AND RUN DRIVER BEHIND A FATAL

ACCIDENT WHAT HAPPENED BEHIND

CLOSED DOORS?

YOU WILL SEE, WHEN WE COME BACK.

> LEFT TO DIE BY A HIT-AND-

RUN DRIVER.

THAT IS WHAT HAPPENED TO SUSAN

CUMMINGS.

AFTER HER KILLER TURNED HIMSELF

IN, WHY DID HE WANT TO MEET

SUSAN'S FAMILY?

AND WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENED

BEHIND THOSE CLOSED DOORS?

YOU ARE ABOUT TO FIND OUT.

SHE HAD COME OVER FOR MY

DAUGHTER'S BIRTHDAY PARTY.

BEFORE SHE LEFT I TOLD HER I

LOVED HER AND SHE SAID, YOU

SHOULD COME SEE ME MORE OFTEN.

Reporter: SUSAN CUMMINGS WAS

A LOVING MOTHER TO HER CHILDREN

AND AN IMPORTANT MEMBER OF HER

COMMUNITY.

SHE HAD A HEART TO SERVE.

SHE WAS A NURSE.

SHE LOVED TO HELP PEOPLE.

SHE MADE IT A POINT TO BE AT

GRADUATION PARTIES AND BIRTHDAY

PARTIES.

EVEN IN HER SUPERHERO COSTUME,

I LIKE TO CALL IT.

WHICH WAS HER SCRUBS.

Reporter: IN THE EARLY

MORNING HOURS OF AUGUST 8,

2015, SUSAN WROTE IN A CHARITY

BIKE RIDE TO RAISE MONEY.

THEY LEARNED THERE HAD BEEN AN

ACCIDENT.

I WAS PREPARING FOR A

BUSINESS TRIP. I WAS GOING TO

GET UP EARLY AND GO TO THE

AIRPORT.

I GOT A CALL.

I ANSWER THE PHONE AND IT WAS

MY MOM'S BEST FRIEND, NANCY.

SHE SAID, YOUR MOM HAS BEEN IN

A CAR ACCIDENT.

IS SHE OKAY?

SHE SAID, NO.

SHE DIED.

SHE IS DEAD.

I AM SO SORRY.

I CANNOT BELIEVE IT.

I WAS IN TOTAL SHOCK.

WHEN YOU GET WORDS LIKE THAT

, IT IS JUST LIKE A PUNCH.

WHEN IS SET IN AND THE

DETAILS OF WHAT HAPPENED THAT

SHE WAS HIT AND KILLED BY A HIT-

AND-RUN DRIVER, I WAS FURIOUS.

THAT SOMEONE WOULD TAKE NOT

ONLY A HUMAN LIFE THAT TAKE MY

MOTHER FROM ME.

AND LEAVE HER THERE TO DIE AS

IF SHE WERE WORTHLESS.

Reporter: SOON A MAN TURNED

HIMSELF IN.

WHEN RONNIE ULTIMATELY CAME

FORWARD, I WAS RELIEVED TO

FINALLY HAVE A SCAPEGOAT FOR

ALL THE ANGER AND FRUSTRATION

THAT I WAS DEALING WITH.

AND HURT.

TO BE ABLE TO PUT IN ON

SOMEONE.

AND FINALLY LOOK AT THAT PERSON

AND REALLY JUDGE THEM.

FOR WHAT THEY HAD DONE IN MY

MIND. Reporter: TOM, A PASTOR

SAID HE KNEW ALMOST IMMEDIATELY

HE WOULD HAVE TO FORGIVE HIS

SISTERS KILLER.

THE REASON I WAS ABLE TO

CHOOSE TO FORGIVE, WHEN I WAS

16 I WAS JUMPED BY FIVE OR SIX

GUYS THAT STOPPED ME AND BROKE

MY NOSE AND STOLE MY BIKE AND

LEFT ME. BASICALLY FOR DEAD.

IN THAT MOMENT I HAD A FEELING

OF RACISM THAT ENTERED MY HEART

. IT WAS NOT UNTIL I SAW RODNEY

KING GETTING BEAT DOWN ON

NATIONAL TELEVISION THAT THE

HOLY SPIRIT SPOKE TO ME AND

SAID, IT IS NOT THE COLOR OF A

MAN SKIN, BUT THE SPIRIT THAT

DRIVES HIM.

IN THAT MOMENT, I SAID, GOD, I

AM SORRY.

FORGIVE ME.

Reporter: THE FAMILY WOULD

EVENTUALLY LEARN THAT RONNIE

HAD BEEN USING INHALANTS THE

DAY OF THE ACCIDENT.

IS TRIAL AND SENTENCING WAS

ALMOST A YEAR LATER.

IT WOULD BE THE FAMILIES FIRST

INTERACTION WITH THE MAN WHO

HAD KILLED SUSAN.

SHORTLY BEFORE THE TRIAL,

SOMETHING UNUSUAL HAPPENED.

RONNIE HAD CHOSE TO PLEAD

GUILTY.

AND WANTED TO MEET WITH US

BEHIND CLOSED DOORS.

WHICH NEVER HAPPENS.

A LOT OF EMOTIONS WERE IN THE

ROOM THAT DAY.

BUT BEFORE WE BEGAN THAT

MEETING AND BEFORE HE ENTERED

THE ROOM, WE PRAYED.

WE INVITED THE HOLY SPIRIT AND

RONNIE AND THE PROSECUTING

ATTORNEY IN THE DEFENSE

ATTORNEY WALKED IN THE DOOR.

RONNIE WAS ALREADY TEARFUL.

ALREADY REMORSEFUL.

THERE WAS A LOT OF CRYING IN

THE ROOM.

AS YOU CAN IMAGINE. WE WERE

FINALLY SEEING THIS MAN FOR THE

FIRST TIME.

I ASKED HIM, RONNIE, ARE YOU

SORRY FOR WHAT YOU DID?

AND OF COURSE AT THAT MOMENT

RONNIE SAID, I DO, I'M SORRY.

BUT EACH OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS,

INCLUDING SUSAN'S BOYFRIEND,

ALL SAID I FORGIVE YOU.

Reporter: AT THE TRIAL MOST

OF THE FAMILY MEMBERS WERE

THERE.

AND SHOW THEIR FORGIVENESS

PUBLICLY.

WE ALL PREPARED A STATEMENT

OF MERCY. AND WE READ THROUGH

AND CONFIRM TO THE COURT AND TO

THE JUDGE WE HAD FORGIVEN

RONNIE.

AND WE SAT MERCY ON HIS BEHALF.

RACE SHOWED UP IN THE

COURTROOM.

THE JUDGE SAID IN MY 20 YEARS I

HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS HAPPENED

IN MY COURTROOM Reporter: IN

2016 CONTRIBUTIONS POURED IN

FOR THE PROJECT THAT SUSAN HAD

GIVEN A LIFE OR.

I WAS INVITED TO GO TO KENYA

TO DEDICATE A WATER WELL IN

SUSAN'S HONOR.

IT WAS SO OVERWHELMING TO GO TO

A PLACE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF

THE GLOBE. HERE IS MY SISTER

BEING HAILED AS A HERO.

I CAN'T PUT INTO WORDS WHAT I

WAS EXPERIENCING AND WE WERE

SEEING ABOUT MY SISTER.

Reporter: HE HOPES THE GRACE

THEY SHOULD TO RONNIE WILL HELP

OTHERS SEE THE POWER OF

FORGIVENESS.

JESUS TELLS US TO FORGIVE.

HE SAID IF YOU FORGIVE THEN I

WILL FORGIVE.

IF YOU DON'T, I WON'T FORGET.

IT IS SO POWERFUL TO THINK THAT

JESUS, WHILE HANGING ON THE

CROSS AND LOOKED DOWN AND SAID,

FATHER, FORGIVE THEM FOR THEY

DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY DO.

WE THINK WE ARE HOLDING OUR

OFFENDER IN PRISON, BUT IS

ACTUALLY US. WE ARE HOLDING

OURSELVES HOSTAGE.

I CHOOSE TO FORGIVE.

AND WE CHOOSE TO FORGIVE AND WE

FAKE IT UNTIL WE MAKE IT.

WE BEGIN TO SAY I FORGIVE UNTIL

THAT FEELING BECOMES REALITY.

FORGIVENESS IS SOMETIMES

VERY HARD TO DO.

YOU ARE IN PAIN.

WHEN THIS HAPPENED TO YOU. IT

IS UNJUST.

PEOPLE WERE UNFEELING.

PEOPLE WERE BRUTAL. WHAT DO YOU

DO NOW?

WHERE DO YOU GO WITH THOSE

FEELINGS AND WHAT HAPPENS WITH

THEM?

IT IS EASY TO SAY THE LORD'S

PRAYER.

FORGIVE US OUR DEBTS AS WE

FORGIVE OUR DEBTORS.

BUT IN PRACTICE IT CAN GET VERY

DIFFICULT.

THIS IS WHY JESUS GAVE THIS

PARABLE OF A MAN WHO OWED THE

KING A GREAT SUM OF MONEY.

WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT AND

THINK ABOUT OUR LIVES AND THE

WELL-BEING AND THE COMMANDMENTS

THAT ARE IN THE BIBLE, LOVE GOD

WITH EVERYTHING WITHIN YOU AND

LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF,

DO YOU DO THAT ON A CONSISTENT

AND REGULAR ALL THE TIME BASIS

OR DO YOU MESS UP?

WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE NUMBER OF

TIMES WE MESS UP, YOU ARE JUST

LIKE THE DEBTOR TO THE KING.

WHERE YOU OWE AN ENORMOUS SUM

OF MONEY.

AND HERE WE HAVE A VERY

RIGHTEOUS KING.

HE LIVES IN RIGHTEOUSNESS.

HIS VERY NAME IS HOLY.

AND WE HAVE VIOLATED THAT OVER

AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

IT HAS GOTTEN SO BIG OUR DEBT

IS SO BIG WE CANNOT POSSIBLY

REPAY IT.

THAT IS WHAT JESUS MEANT IN THE

PARABLE.

A DEBTOR COMES TO THE KING AND

IN MODERN TERMS IT WOULD BE

$500 BILLION.

WHO COULD POSSIBLY GIVE THAT

KIND OF SOME BACK TO PAY OFF

THE DEBT.

INSTEAD OF GOING TO PRISON, THE

DEBTOR SAYS WOULD YOU FORGIVE

ME?

AND THE KING SAYS, YES.

I FORGIVE YOU.

I CANCEL ALL YOUR DEBT.

THE REST OF THE PARABLE IS

ACTUALLY CHILLING.

THE MAN WHO WAS JUST FORGIVEN

OF A HUGE SUM, GOES OUT AND

FIND SOMEBODY THAT OWED HIM

SOME MONEY AND HE SAID, NOW IT

IS MY TURN.

AND I WANT YOU TO PAY EVERYTHING

. THE MAN WAS NOT ABLE TO PAY.

HE THREW HIM INTO PRISON.

WHEN THE KING FOUND OUT ABOUT IT

, HE REINSTATED HIS DEBT AND

THREW HIM INTO PRISON. THE MAN

WHO WOULD NOT FORGIVE A SMALL

SUM WAS HELD TO ACCOUNT FOR A

VERY LARGE SUM.

THAT IS WHAT THAT PASTOR MEANT

THAT IT IS LIKE BEING IN

PRISON.

WHEN YOU HOLD ON TO HIM

FORGIVENESS, BITTERNESS,

RESENTMENT, REVENGE, ALL OF

THOSE THINGS.

THE ONLY PERSON YOU ARE HURTING

IS YOURSELF.

AND WHEN YOU LET IT GO AND YOU

EXTEND FORGIVENESS TO OTHERS,

NO MATTER WHAT THEY HAVE DONE.

WHEN YOU EXTEND THEIR

FORGIVENESS, SOMETHING

WONDERFUL HAPPENS TO YOU.

THAT YOU GET FORGIVENESS AND

YOU GET THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE

HOLY SPIRIT.

YOU GET GOD'S GRACE, YOU GET

HIS MERCY, YOU GET HIS LOVE AND

YOU GET IT ABUNDANTLY.

WHY WOULDN'T YOU LET GO IN

ORDER TO GET THAT GREAT

TREASURE?

THAT IS THE POINT OF THE PARABLE

. FORGIVE, AND YOU WILL BE

FORGIVEN.

WHEN WE HOLD ON, WE ARE HOLDING

ON TO OUR OWN DEBT.

WE HOLD ONTO OUR OWN PROBLEM.

HARBORING BITTERNESS,

RESENTMENT, REVENGE, ALL OF

THOSE FEELINGS, YOU THINK YOU

ARE HURTING THE OTHER PERSON.

ALL YOU ARE DOING IS DRINKING

POISON INTO YOUR OWN BODY.

MEDICAL SCIENCE IS NOW BACKING

IT UP.

ALL OF THE AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES,

HEART DISEASES, HIGH BLOOD

PRESSURE, A LOT OF THAT IS

BASED ON OUR EMOTIONAL STATE

AND HOW WE THINK ABOUT THINGS.

FORGIVE.

SET THEM FREE.

FOR SOME OF US, WE HAVE TO

FORGIVE OURSELVES.

WE THINK WE KNEW BETTER, WE

JUDGE OURSELVES. FOR SOME OF US

WE WONDER WHERE WAS GOD WHEN

THIS HAPPEN, AND YOU NEED TO

FORGIVE GOD? FOR MOST OF US YOU

NEED TO FORGIVE SOMEONE ELSE.

YOU NEED TO FORGIVE SOMEONE WHO

IS WRONG DEAL.

IN THIS WHOLE TIME, HAS BEEN

SOMEONE WHO CAME TO YOUR MIND

THAT YOU HAVE NOT FORGIVEN THAT

YOU ARE HOLDING ONTO THAT

BITTERNESS. IF YOU NEED HELP

PRAYING FOR THEM TO FORGIVE

THEM, WE ARE HERE FOR YOU.

JUST CALL US.

WE ALSO HAVE A FREE GIFT FOR

YOU.

IT IS SCRIPTURES ON FORGIVENESS

AND HOW TO FORGIVE OTHERS AND

HOW TO GIVE YOURSELF. IT IS

ALL FREE.

JUST CALL, 1-800-700-7000.

HERE IS A WORKER MATTHEW.

IF YOU FORGIVE THOSE WHO SIN

AGAINST YOU, YOUR HEAVENLY
