AIR TRAVELERS HEADING HOME

AFTER THE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS

ARE FACING HEADWINDS.

THOUSANDS OF FLIGHTS HAVE BEEN

CANCELED AS THE OMICRON VARIANT

SPREADS AMONG AIRLINE CREWS.

GEORGE THOMAS HAS THIS LOOK AT

THE TRAVEL CHAOS.

Reporter: THE TROUBLE WAS

FROM COAST-TO-COAST AREN'T

GETTING ANY BETTER AS THE WEEK

KICKS OFF.

I WILL END UP GETTING A

HOTEL AND FLYING OUT IN THE

MORNING.

Reporter: AS OF EARLY THIS

MORNING FLIGHTAWARE, THE

WEBSITE THAT TRACKS FLIGHTS

ACROSS THE GLOBE, SAYS MORE

THAN 2100 FLIGHTS HAVE BEEN

CANCELED IN THE UNITED STATES

ALONE TODAY.

WITH DELTA, UNITED, SKYWEST,

AND AMERICAN EXPERIENCING THE

MOST CANCELLATIONS.

WE LEFT THE HOUSE AT 7:00

FRIDAY MORNING AND WE JUST GOT

BACK HERE HALF AN HOUR AGO.

AND YOU HAVE YET TO ACTUALLY

BE ON VACATION?

TRUE.

TRUE.

BUT WE DID SLEEP IN A HOTEL

ROOM.

Reporter: IN ALL MORE THAN

8000 FLIGHTS AFFECTED GLOBALLY

SINCE THE START OF THE PANDEMIC

ON FRIDAY WITH THE U.S. AND

CHINESE DESTINATIONS HARDEST

HIT.

WHERE ARE YOU GUYS HEADING?

MICHIGAN

WAS REPLY CANCELED?

IT WAS.

WHAT NOW?

WE REBOOKED.

WE RE-SCRAMBLED.

Reporter: JUST AS THE

CHRISTMAS PERIOD TYPICALLY ONE

OF THE BUSIEST FOR THE TRAVEL

INDUSTRY, HITTING THE SAME TIME

AS THE OMICRON VARIANT SURGES.

UNITED AND DELTA HAVE BEEN

VOCAL IN ADMITTING THAT MANY OF

THESE CANCELLATIONS ARE BECAUSE

OF COVID.

Reporter: AIRLINES FORCED TO

CANCEL BECAUSE PILOTS AND CABIN

CREW ARE IN SELF ISOLATION.

IF YOU SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE

GETTING SICK YOU CAN ASSUME

THAT SOME OF THOSE FOLKS WORK

AT THE AIRLINE YOU ARE SUPPOSED

APPLY THIS WEEK.

Reporter: AND IT'S NOT JUST

THE PANDEMIC THAT IS CAUSING

ALL OF THE TROUBLE HAVOC. ON

THE GROUND A MAJOR SNOWSTORM

CLOSED KEY HIGHWAYS IN NORTHERN

CALIFORNIA AND NEVADA.

IT IS CRAZY.

Reporter: THE SAME WHITE TO

STOP HITTING PARTS OF WESTERN

WASHINGTON AS WELL.

I'M STUCK IN MY DRIVEWAY

AND I CAN'T GET OUT.

IT'S A LITTLE TOO MUCH.

Reporter: IN MOUNT VERNON,

WASHINGTON, SYDNEY CREWS

WORKING AROUND THE CLOCK TO

KEEP STREETS SAFE. BUT IT COULD

BE WHILE BEFORE THINGS TOTALLY

CLEAN OUT.

HUNKER DOWN, STAY WARM. WE

LOST POWER A COUPLE OF TIMES

YESTERDAY.

HOPEFULLY, IT DOESN'T WREAK

HAVOC AGAIN.

Reporter: DESTROYED DESPITE

TROUBLE HEADACHES DUE TO COVID

AND WHETHER CONSUMERS WERE

STILL IN THE MOOD TO SPEND THIS

HOLIDAY SEASON.

NEWT RETAIL NUMBERS SAW AN 8.5%

JUMP OVER LAST YEAR. ONLINE

SALES WERE UP 11% AND IN-STORE

SALES UP 8% BETWEEN NOVEMBER

1st AND CHRISTMAS EVE.

> TURNING NOW TO ISRAEL PRIME

MINISTER THE TALIBAN DID

ANNOUNCED PLANS SUNDAY TO

DOUBLE THE NUMBER OF SETTLERS

LIVING IN THE GOLAN HEIGHTS

BENNETT TOLD A SPECIAL CABINET

SESSION THE MOVE WAS PROMPTED

BY THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATIONS

RECOGNITION OF ISRAELI

SOVEREIGNTY OVER THE LAND IN

THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION

INDICATING IT WILL NOT CHANGE

THAT DECISION.

ISRAEL OCCUPIED THE GOLAN

HEIGHTS IN THE 1967 MIDEAST WAR

AND LATER ANNEXED THE

TERRITORY.

ALSO IN ISRAEL, AND

EXTRAORDINARY INNOVATION IS

UNDERWAY WHERE PEOPLE CAN ORDER

SOMETHING AND HAVE IT DELIVERED

BY DRONE.

CHRIS MITCHELL BRINGS US THAT

STORY.

Reporter: THESE DRONES ARE

COMPLETING A SPECIAL MISSION AS

THEY LANDED TEL AVIV,

DELIVERING SUSHI FROM JAPAN I-

RESTAURANT SOME SEVEN MILES AWAY

AND HURTS OLEA.

YOU CAN SEE MULTI-DELIVERIES

COMING BACK ATLANTA, FINISH THE

DELIVERY, PRODUCE IS EVERYTHING

AUTONOMOUSLY.

Reporter: DRONES CAN BECOME

THE DELIVERY VEHICLE OF THE

FUTURE.

TRANSPORTING ANYTHING YOU WANT

FROM A RESTAURANT TO YOUR HOME.

ABELSON IS CEO AND COFOUNDER OF

HIGHLANDER, A DRONE AND UNMANNED

TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT SOLUTION

THAT HELPS KEEP SKIES SAFE FOR

THIS GROWING TECHNOLOGY.

THERE IS NO PILOT INVOLVED.

NO ONE IS FLYING THE DRONE.

YOU STILL NEED SOMEONE TO MAKE

SURE THE DRONE FLYING AVOIDS

COLLIDE BETWEEN THEMSELVES.

LANDING SAFELY IN THE RIGHT

LOCATION.

Reporter: THESE ARE AMONG

THE FIRST COMMERCIAL DRONE

DELIVERIES IN CENTRAL ISRAEL

AND THE CITY OF TEL AVIV.

IT IS THE THIRD OF EIGHT STAGES

EXPECTED TO REACH NEW HEIGHTS

OVER THE NEXT TWO YEARS.

IT IS BEING MANAGED FROM THE I

AM ON HIGHWAY CONTROL CENTER

THAT IS USUALLY OVERSEEING

TRAFFIC ON THE GROUND.

WE STARTED FROM ZERO FLIGHTS

TWO YEARS AGO, 700 FLIGHTS IN

THE FIRST YEAR, AND NOW WE ARE

CLOSE TO 9000 FLIGHTS.

Reporter: AS PART OF

ISRAEL'S INNOVATION AUTHORITY

DANIELA PART OF LEADS THE

CENTER FOR THE FOURTH

INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION.

OUR AIM IS TO ADD MORE

CITIES, OR MORE URBAN AREAS, IN

ORDER FOR THIS TO BE A VIABLE

SYSTEM. WE WOULD HAVE TO

ENABLE LARGER DRONES FLYING

LONGER DISTANCES IN ORDER TO

DELIVER TWO MORE AREAS.

Reporter: JOINED BY THE

CIVIL AVIATION AUTHORITY AND

HIGHWAYS THE PROJECT IS A

COLLABORATION BETWEEN THE

GOVERNMENT AND 16 LOCAL AND

INTERNATIONAL COMPANIES.

THE THEORIES COMPANIES WORK

TOGETHER TOWARDS SOLUTIONS IN

KEY AREAS RANGING FROM AIR

TRAFFIC CONTROL AND FLYING THE

DRONES TO DELIVERIES AND

SECURITY.

LIBBY FROM THE CIVIL AVIATION

AUTHORITY SAYS HE SEES

OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES.

WE ARE A CROWDED COUNTRY. IN

TERMS OF AIRSPACE.

WE HAVE HIGH SECURITY NEEDS AT

THESE ARE CHALLENGES, BUT I

THINK WE KNOW HOW TO APPROACH

THEM

Reporter: DESPITE THE

CHALLENGES I LAWN HIGHWAYS

EXPLAINS WHY DRONES ARE A GOOD

AND TIMELY IDEA.

THE LOWER AIRSPACE IS UNUSED

TODAY.

WE ARE TRYING TO OPEN THEIR

LOWER AIRSPACE IN ORDER TO

DELIVER ALL KINDS OF GOODS AND

DELIVERIES FROM ONE PLACE TO

ANOTHER.

AND BY THAT WE ARE IN REDUCED

TRAFFIC.

Reporter: ACCORDING TO THE

CURRENT CEO OF A CAN-DO DRONES

THE ISRAELI MILITARY HAS BEEN

USING THIS TECHNOLOGY FOR 10

YEARS.

WE WILL TAKE IT FROM THE

MILITARY SIDE AND ADAPTED FOR

OUR NEEDS ON THE CIVILIAN SIDE.

Reporter: WORKING WITH

SECURITY AND TRAFFIC CONTROL

THEY CAN MANAGE UP TO 250

DRONES AT A TIME.

WE CONNECT DIFFERENT DRONES

FROM DIFFERENT COMPANIES ON A

DIFFERENT MISSION TO OUR SYSTEM

AND WE CAN CONTROL THEM FROM

ONE LAPTOP.

Reporter: THE FOUNDING

MEMBERS CAME FROM THE ISRAELI

AIR FORCE.

THE CEO EXPLAINS HOW THESE

EXPERTS AND AIRSPACE MANAGEMENT

MAKE IT ALL WORK.

WE ARE USING ADVANCED AI

ALGORITHMS IN ORDER TO MANAGE A

DYNAMIC AIRSPACE OF DRONES.

WE TRY TO MIMIC THE TRADITION

AVIATION LIKE AIR TRAFFIC

CONTROLLERS AND PILOTS WITH OUR

SYSTEM IN ORDER TO SO WE CAN

OPERATE THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF

DRONES AND I DYNAMIC URBAN

CITY.

DELIVERIES ARE LIMITED TO

BETWEEN BUSINESSES CURRENTLY.

GIVEN THE NEED FOR A DRONE

LANDING PAD.

THE ORDER IS PLACED THROUGH AN

APP AND THEN PREPARED, LOADED

ON THE DRONE, FLOWN TO THE

DELIVERY SITES, COLLECTED, AND

TAKEN TO THE CUSTOMER.

DANIEL LEADS UP ONE OF THE MOST

POPULAR AND FASTEST-GROWING

FOOD DELIVERY APPS IN ISRAEL.

UNTIL NOW HE RELIED ON

CONVENTIONAL DELIVERY METHODS

LIKE SCOOTERS AS A TECHNOLOGY

COMPANY, IS ALWAYS LOOKING TO

THE FUTURE

WE DON'T HAVE ANY DOUBT THAT

THE NEXT STAGE WILL BE THE

DRONES. THIS IS THE BEST WAY,

THE FAST WAY, THE SAFEWAY TO

MOVE THINGS FROM ONE SITE TO

EACH OTHER.

Reporter: FLIGHT TAKE IS THE

ERROL OPERATOR AND COMPANY VICE

PRESIDENT YAMAHA PRICE SAYS

DRONES CAN TRANSPORT A DELIVERY

WEIGHING ABOUT 4.5 POUNDS.

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IN

ISRAEL YOU CAN SEE THIS KIND OF

PROJECT, WHICH MEANS THE FIRST

TIME WE FLY DRONES WITH NO EYE

CONTACT THROUGH A COMPUTER.

Reporter: THE DEMONSTRATION

FOCUSED ON GETTING ICE CREAM TO

WAITING JOURNALISTS.

PRICE SAYS THE VISION REACH IS

MUCH BURGER THAN JUST FOOD

DELIVERY.

THIS IS A PLATFORM TO SHOW

THE TECHNOLOGY IS THERE. WE

WANT TO PROVIDE MUCH MORE

IMPORTANT THINGS TO OUR

CIVILIANS. LIKE BIG ORDERS,

MACHINES, AND MEDICINES.

Reporter: HOSPITALS AND

MEDICAL FACILITIES COULD BE BIG

WINNERS WITH THESE DELIVERIES,

RECEIVING LIFE-SAVING MATERIALS

QUICKLY WITH NO TRAFFIC JAMS.

AND CONSUMERS IN THE FUTURE

WILL LIKELY BENEFIT IN WAYS WE

HAVEN'T EVEN IMAGINED.

CHRIS MITCHELL, CBN NEWS.

> THE HOLIDAYS ARE KNOWN FOR

FOOD, BUT MILLIONS OF AMERICANS

INDULGE IN COMFORT FOODS LIKE

MACARONI AND CHEESE, HOT FUDGE

SUNDAE, AND BISCUITS AND GRAVY

ALL YEAR LONG.

AS LORIE JOHNSON SHOWS US,

COMFORT FOODS ARE ACTUALLY

MAKING PEOPLE MISERABLE.

Reporter: THE NUMBER OF

AMERICANS SEEKING HELP FOR

DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY

SKYROCKETED 93% LAST YEAR

COMPARED TO THE YEAR BEFORE.

WELL SOME OF THAT CAN BE BLAMED

ON THE COVID IMPACT, RESEARCH

SHOWS MENTAL ILLNESS HAS

STEADILY INCREASED FOUR YEARS.

@SOME MENTAL HEALTH CONCERN BUT

THAT IS MORE THAN THE

POPULATIONS OF NEW YORK AND

FLORIDA COMBINED.

THESE DISORDERS MAKE A LIST OF

THE MOST COMMON CAUSES OF

DISABILITY AND SUICIDE SCORES

AS A LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH NO

MATTER THE AGE GROUP

WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT

THE SILENT PANDEMIC GOING ON IS

ONE AROUND MENTAL ILLNESS OR

PEOPLE FEELING MORE DEPRESSED,

MORE GLOOM, NOT SLEEPING WELL.

FEELING EXTREMELY STRESSED AND

TRAUMATIZED BY EVERYTHING GOING

ON. Reporter: THREE OUT OF

FOUR AMERICANS ARE EITHER

OVERWEIGHT OR OBESE. THE

HIGHEST LEVEL EVER. TURNS OUT

THERE IS A LINK. THE SAME FOODS

THAT TRIGGER WEIGHT GAIN CAN

ALSO LEAD TO DEPRESSION,

ANXIETY, AND OTHER MENTAL

HEALTH ISSUES. FOODS THAT WE

CALL COMFORT FOODS ARE ACTUALLY

DISCOMFORT TO OUR BRAIN.

Reporter: ONE OF THE GROWING

NUMBER OF PSYCHIATRISTS USING

HEALTHY FOODS TO STRENGTHEN

PATIENT'S MENTAL HEALTH.

WE HAVE THE POWER TO

ACTUALLY IMPROVE THAT FOR

OURSELVES.

NOT THAT A PERSON SHOULDN'T SEE

THEIR DOCTOR AND TAKE

MEDICATION IF THEY NEED IT, BUT

WE CAN ALSO START TODAY AT THE

END OF ARE FORK MAKING

HEALTHIER TOASTERS IN HOW WE

EAT.

Reporter: IN HER BOOK, THIS

IS YOUR BRAIN ON FOOD, DR.

NAIDU SAYS A HEALTHY BRAIN

BEGINS WITH SOMETHING WE HAVE

BEEN TELLING YOU ABOUT FOR YEARS

, A HEALTHY GUT.

ESSENTIALLY, THE GUT AND

BRING, EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE

DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE BODY,

ACTUALLY RISE FROM THE SAME

CELLS IN THE EMBRYO.

THEY REMAIN CONNECTED

THROUGHOUT LIFE.

Reporter: THAT KEY CONNECTION

IS KNOWN AS THE VAGUS NERVE A

TWO WAY SUPERHIGHWAY SENDING

CONSTANT CHEMICAL MESSAGING

BACK AND FORTH.

FOODS THAT CAN ROCK THE GUT

MICROBIOTA, HOWEVER, JAM UP THIS

NERVE HIGHWAY, REACHING ALL THE

WAY TO THE BRAIN.

WHEN WE ARE FEEDING THOSE

MICROBES COULD RETRACE LOTS OF

ADDED REFINED SUGARS, LOTS OF

SODA.

WHAT HAPPENS IS THE BAD

MICROBES GET FED.

AND WHEN THEY GET FED THOSE

SUGARY FOODS THEY OVERCOME THE

GOOD MICROBES.

Reporter: SEVERAL STUDIES,

INCLUDING MRI IMAGING, SHOW

EXCESSIVE SUGAR MAKES

DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY WORSE.

DR. NAIDU CONFIRMS WHAT WE HAVE

BEEN REPORTING, PROCESSED FOODS

ARE LOADED WITH SUGAR. EVEN

THOSE THAT DON'T SEEM SWEET AND

ARE MARKETED AS HEALTHY.

FIRST, THINGS LIKE FRENCH

FRIES FROM FAST FOOD

RESTAURANTS ACTUALLY MADE WITH

ADDED SUGAR. WE DON'T TASTE

THAT, BUT THEY ARE MADE TO BE

PALATABLE.

JUST BE AWARE THAT THERE IS

HIDDEN SUGARS

Reporter: ALSO, STAY AWAY

FROM MOST OF THE FAKE ONES

SEVERAL OF THE ARTIFICIAL

SWEETENERS, OF COURSE I, CAN

DRIVE ANXIETY, WORSEN

DEPRESSION, AND DISRUPT THOSE

GUT MICROBES.

Reporter: THE DOCTOR

RECOMMENDS TAKING COLORFUL

VGETABLES, LIKE LEAFY GREENS

TO YOUR MENU, WHICH CONTAIN

FOLATE LATE, WHEN THERE'S A

LOW LEVEL IN THE BRAIN ACTUALLY

CAN LEAD TO DEPRESSION.

Reporter: ANTIOXIDANT RICH

FOODS LIKE BLUEBERRIES.

WE ARE COMBATING OXIDATIVE

STRESS, WHICH IS REALLY GOOD

AND MUCH BETTER FOR OUR MENTAL

WELL-BEING.

Reporter: AND HEALTHY FATS

LIKE OLIVE OIL, AVOCADOS, PLUS

THINGS LIKE SALMON AND WALNUTS,

WHICH INCLUDE OMEGA-3

IT DOESN'T EXCLUDE THE USE

OF MEDICATIONS WHEN NEEDED, BUT

IT PROVIDES INDIVIDUALS WITH AN

ADDITIONAL TOOL IN THEIR TOOLKIT

TO REALLY UPLIFT THEIR MENTAL

HEALTH.

Reporter: AN ADDED BENEFIT

IS THAT A HEALTHY DIET CAN ALSO

INCREASE A MEDICATION'S

EFFECTIVENESS.

WHILE JUNK FOOD MAY BRIGHTEN

YOUR MOOD IN THE MOMENT IT

COULD DEEPEN DEPRESSION AND

ANXIETY IN THE LONG ONE.

BY BREAKING THAT CYCLE YOU

MIGHT FIND OVERTIME THAT YOU

FEEL SO GOOD YOU CAN SAY

GOODBYE TO THAT'S COMFORT

CRUTCH FOREVER.

LORIE JOHNSON, CBN NEWS.

> THOSE ARE TODAY'S TOP

STORIES FROM THE CBN NEWS ROOM.

GORDON AND TERRY ARE BACK WITH

MORE OF TODAY'S 700 CLUB COMING

RIGHT UP AFTER THIS.

> HALF 1 MILLION.

THAT'S ONLY PEOPLE ARE POURING

INTO TEXAS ANNUALLY.

AND THEY ARE NOT JUST VISITING.

THEY ARE PUTTING DOWN ROOTS IN

THE LONE STAR STATE.

WHAT IS THE MAIN ATTRACTION?

HOW DO LOCALS FEEL ABOUT THE

INFLUX?

TARA MERGENER HAS THE STORY.

Reporter: ACCORDING TO THE

NUMBERS, MORE AMERICANS ARE ON

THE MOVE THAN EVER BEFORE.

MANY LOOKING FOR A PLACE WITH

LOWER TAXES, LESS CRIME, AND A

BIGGER BANK FOR THE PHYLLIS

REAL ESTATE BACK.

TEXAS IS HIGH ON THE LIST WITH

ITS SMALLER COMMUNITIES,

ESPECIALLY IN HIGH DEMAND.

TEXAS LOUD.

*

Reporter: TEXAS PROUD. *

*

Reporter: --

OVER HERE WE LIKE FREEDOM

AND WE LIKE OUR GUNS.

WE DON'T LIKE TO BE CODDLED AND

WE LIKE OUR GOVERNMENTS LIMITED.

*

Reporter: THESE DAYS MORE

AND MORE OUT OF STATORS MIGHT

LIKE THIS OUT OF TEXAS TOO.

WITH MORE THAN A HALF-MILLION

PEOPLE POURING IN ANNUALLY.

STATS SHOW MOST ARRIVED FROM

CALIFORNIA. CALIFORNIA, JOBS

ARE SO HARD TO COME BY.

EVERYTHING IS REALLY EXPENSIVE.

WE ARE FAR ENOUGH AWAY THAT

YOU ARE NOT SUFFOCATED.

Reporter: WHILE HIGH HOME

PRICES AND RECENT CRIME SPIKES

IN URBAN AREAS ARE A DRIVING

FACTOR, THIS SO-CALLED EXODUS IS

SEEING FOLKS UP WALKING TO

BIGGER CITIES HERE. *

Reporter: THE NUMBERS ALSO

SHOW MORE TRANSPLANTS,

INCLUDING MUSICIAN DAVE ENNIS,

ARE SINGING A NEW TUNE HIM OFF

POPULATED AREAS.

WE WANTED TO IT OUT OF

NASHVILLE. WE JUST WANTED

SOMETHING THAT FELT MORE, I

DON'T KNOW, JUST MORE COMMUNITY

OF SMALL-TOWN VIBE. AND WHERE

WE LIVE HERE IS OLD WACO.

Reporter: LOCATED IN CENTRAL

TEXAS WACO IS ALREADY KNOWN FOR

ITS REALITY TV SHOW.

DR PEPPER.

*

Reporter: AND CELEBRITY

TRANSPLANTS.

*

Reporter: POST PANDEMIC THE

AREA IS EXPLODING. WITH AVERAGE

HOME PRICES UP ABOUT 13% OVER A

YEAR AGO.

THAT MEANS NONSTOP CONSTRUCTION

AND REAL ESTATE OFTEN SNATCHED

UP SIGHT UNSEEN.

I WOULD LOVE TO HELP YOU

SELL YOUR HOUSE.

WHERE IS YOUR HOME LOCATED?

ARE YOU SURPRISED AT WHAT

HAS HAPPENED IN SUCH A SHORT

AMOUNT OF TIME?

UNBELIEVABLE.

JUST A YEAR AGO IT WOULD SIT ON

THE MARKET FOR LEASED THREE OR

FOUR MONTHS. AND WE WOULD NOT

HAVE ANY OFFERS AT ALL AT FIRST

NOW WE HAVE PEOPLE FIGHTING TO

GET IN AND MULTIPLE OFFERS.

Reporter: AREA SCHOOLS ARE

GROWING AT WARP SPEED.

RIGHT NOW WE HAVE OUR

HIGHEST ANNULMENT EVER. WE HAVE

TALKED ABOUT THAT.

WE ARE AT 1600 STUDENTS IN THE

DISTRICT.

SO, A FEW CHALLENGES THERE.

WE ARE HAVING TO ADD PERSONNEL

TO ACCOMMODATE THAT. Reporter:

SO IS LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT.

BEING AVAILABLE TO ANSWER

CALLS FOR SERVICE WHEN 911

RINGS OR SO MANY CALLS THE

NONEMERGENCY NUMBER, AND ABLE

TO RESPOND TO MY HAVING THE

PERSONNEL.

WE ARE HAVING TO LOOK AT ADDING

STAFF TO KEEP UP WITH THE

DEMAND.

Reporter: THIS REGION IS

SADDLING UP FOR THOUSANDS OF

NEW JOBS TOO.

WITH GIANT LIKE AMAZON MOVING

IN AND SPACE X EXPANDING.

CREDIT THE STATE'S POLICIES AND

NO STATE INCOME TAX FOR LURING

BUSINESSES AND BILLIONAIRES

FROM ONE TIP OF THE STATE TO

THE OTHER.

THERE IS A POTENTIAL SIDE

EFFECT, BECAUSE MUCH OF THIS

SCREEN IS MAINLY POURING IN FROM

NEW CITIES AND STATES.

WE ARE REALLY WORRIED ABOUT

FOLKS LIKE ME MOVING FROM

CALIFORNIA.

Reporter: THAT MEANS MORE

FOOD FOR POLITICAL FODDER.

DON'T TURN THIS PLACE INTO

WHAT YOU FLED.

Reporter: NEW YOUTUBE

PARODIES.

I'M FROM CALIFORNIA.

CALIFORNIA?

I THOUGHT I SMELLED COMMUNISM.

Reporter: TO T-SHIRTS.

AND THE GOVERNOR HIMSELF URGING

TO KEEP TEXAS TEXAS.

FOR THE CHANGING DEMOGRAPHICS

THIS LONG REPUBLICAN STRONGHOLD

IS ARGUABLY GROWING MORE PURPLE.

IT HAS LONG BEEN A FEAR OF

CONSERVATIVES AND A GOAL OF

LEFT-WING TEXANS AT THESE BLUE

NEWCOMERS WILL BRING ALONG

THEIR VOTING HABITS AND TIP THE

POLITICAL SKILLS.

IT'S NOT CLEAR THAT'S

WHAT'S HAPPENING IN TEXAS.

AGAIN, LOTS OF RED LEANING

PEOPLE FROM BLUE STATES ARE

COMING IN.

CERTAINLY, SOME BLUE LEANING

PEOPLE AS WELL.

IT IS NOT CLEAR THAT THE BLUES

HAVE A CRITICAL MASS.

Reporter: STILL ON THE

GROUND LOCAL REPUBLICANS AREN'T

TAKING ANY CHANCES.

EDUCATING THE WHOLE

POPULATION TO DRAW CLEARLY THE

LINES OF DEMARCATION BETWEEN

OUR CONSERVATIVE POLICIES AND

THE REPUBLICANS AND LIBERAL

POLICIES.

THE LIBERAL SOCIALIST COMMUNIST

POLICIES ARE THE DEMOCRAT

PARTY.

Reporter: AS DEMOCRAT SAVES

THE DAY.

TO USE THE OPPORTUNITY HERE?

WE DO.

MASSIVE VOTER REGISTRATION

DRIVES.

WE'VE GOT PEOPLE IN EVERY

PRECINCT THAT ARE GETTING OUT

OF THE SPOKES MOVING IN AND WE

ARE ENGAGING IN ONE-ON-ONE.

[ SINGING ]

Reporter: NO TEXAS TWO-STEP

AROUND IT AS A MORE POPULAR AND

POPULATED TEXAS TAKES SHAPE

CHANGE IS IN THE AIR WHEREVER

IT LEADS.

ANALYSTS AGREE THE LONG-TERM

IMPACT OF THIS SO-CALLED MASS

MIGRATION REMAINS TO BE SEEN.

POLITICALLY AND OTHERWISE.

BUT DON'T BELIEVE IT WILL END

ANYTIME SOON.

IN CENTRAL TEXAS ON TARA

MERGENER, CBN NEWS.> I THINK

THIS IS ALL AN IMPACT FROM

COVID AS PEOPLE ARE REALIZING

THAT YOU CAN WORK FROM HOME AND

WHEN YOU CAN WORK FROM HOME

THAT MEANS YOU CAN LIVE

ANYWHERE.

SO, WHY LIVE IN A HIGH TRAFFIC,

HIGH TAX STATES? WHY NOT GO TO

SOMEPLACE THAT DOESN'T HAVE AN

INCOME TAX ON THE REAL ESTATE

AND IT'S A LOT CHEAPER?

THAT IS WHAT IS FUELING THIS.

I THINK WE ARE GOING TO SEE

MORE AND MORE OF IT AS OUR

WORKPLACES CHANGE. NOT JUST

FROM THE PANDEMIC, BUT BECAUSE

PEOPLE REALIZE IN AN INTERNET

INFORMATION AGE, WELL, YOU CAN,

INDEED, WORK FROM A LOT OF

DIFFERENT PLACES.

> STILL AHEAD, HE LEARNED HOW

TO PLAY CHESS IN A HOMELESS

SHELTER.

AND WITHIN A YEAR HE WON A NEW

EUREKA MOMENT.

WHAT IDSA DID THIS MAN FROM

FINANCIAL RUIN?

YOU'VE GOT TO SEE IT TO BELIEVE

IT RIGHT AFTER THIS.

> TODAY THE CART RIGHTS ARE

SUCCESSFUL ENTREPRENEURS.

NOT LONG AGO THEY WERE LIVING

ON FOOD STAMPS AND 80s HELPED

HW DID THEY MAKE AN AMAZING U-

TURN?

OH, YOU ARE ABOUT TO FIND OUT.

Reporter: TOM CARTWRIGHT IS

A SELF-EMPLOYED INVENTOR WHO IS

ALWAYS COMING UP WITH CREATIVE

IDEAS FOR PRODUCTS LIKE THE

ANTIGUA CEILING VENT.

THERE ARE LEAVES IN MY YARD

AND I SAW A LEAF.

I SKETCHED IT AND MADE UP THE

FAN BLADE FROM THAT.

Reporter: BEING AN

ENTREPRENEUR HASN'T ALWAYS BEEN

EASY.

THERE WERE TIMES TOM COULDN'T

PROVIDE THE BASICS FOR HIS WIFE

AND CHILDREN.

LIKE WHEN ONE OF HIS FOREIGN

BUSINESS DEALS WENT BAD.

THE HEADLINE SAID, BANK SUED

IN U.S. LOSES $6 MILLION.

I CAME BACK I KIND OF LOST

EVERYTHING.

WE HAD ONE CAR. PEOPLE WERE

HELPING US PUT GAS IN OUR TANK

A WIN THERE WAS A LOT OF FOOD

STAMPS AROUND.

PEOPLE WERE GIVING US SOME OF

THEIR FOOD STAMPS IT WAS VERY

HUMBLING.

TOM AND ANNA STARTED GOING TO

CHURCH.

WE FELT LIKE WE NEEDED HELP

XP WHEN I SAID, OKAY, I DON'T

CARE IF I WORK IN A GAS

STATION.

GOD FIRST.

MY FAMILY. AND THAT MY JOB.

Reporter: THE COUPLE LEARNED

THAT PUTTING GOD FIRST INCLUDED

TITHING 10%.

WE BEGAN TO TITHE,

BELIEVING THAT GOD WOULD

MULTIPLY THE SEED THAT WE WOULD

SO.

AND SHORTLY THEREAFTER I HAD

CAME UP WITH ANOTHER INVENTION

OR PRODUCT AND WE HAD A GOOD

INCOME.

> WENT TO'S MEDICAL HYGIENE

INVENTION CALLED WASH AND CARE

WAS WIDELY USED IN HOSPITALS

AND BECAME VERY PROFITABLE.

THROUGH THE YEARS AS A CART

RIGHTS KEPT TITHING THE

INVENTIONS AND INCOME KEPT

COMING.

AT ONE TIME.

STORES BOUGHT THE GAME TABLE,

DESIGN.

HE AND ANNA FINANCED

PRODUCTION.

AND THEN THE MARKET CRASHED AND

THERE WAS NO WAY TO PAY BACK

THE LOAN.

IT WAS DEVASTATING.

IT WAS CONFUSING.

Reporter: TOM'S DAUGHTER,

ALLISON, WORKS WITH HIM AND

REMEMBERS HAVING TO LAY OFF ALL

OF THEIR EMPLOYEES AND HOW THEY

HAD WITH THE COMPANY'S FUTURE

IN GOD'S HANDS.

IT'S REALLY BARE-BONES OF

WHAT YOU BELIEVE.

ARE YOU GOING TO LEAVE THE WORK?

ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE FAITH OR

FALL APART AND GO TO PIECES?

WHEN THE TEMPTATION WOULD COME

TO NOT TITHE OR NOT GIVE I

WOULD BE, LIKE, IT WOULD BRING

TEARS TO MY EYES.

I DON'T TRUST THIS WORLD.

I DON'T TRUST OUR, HOW SMART WE

ARE.

I DON'T TRUST -- I TRUST GOD.

Reporter: DESPITE UNCERTAIN

TIMES AND MULTIPLE THREATS OF

THE FORECLOSURE, AND ANNA NEVER

STOPPED TYPING.

THEY BELIEVED WHAT THEY CALLED

TITHING RIGHTS YOUR BODY WILL

NOT BE EMPTY.

YOUR BAGS WILL BE FULL.

THOSE KIND OF THINGS.

THOSE ARE TITHING RIGHTS.

Reporter: THEY EVEN GAVE

ABOVE THEIR TITHE TO HELP A

COUPLE FROM CHURCH.

.SLIGHT CHANCE WANT YOU TO

PAY OFF THEIR SECOND MORTGAGE.

I TALKED TO ANNA AND WE SAID,

YOU KNOW, WHAT YOU DO FOR OTHERS

GOD WILL DO FOR YOU.

Reporter: SHORTLY AFTER THEY

PAID OFF THE OTHER COUPLE'S

LOAN THEIR OWN FINANCIAL

SITUATION TURNED AROUND.

SOME VALUABLE REAL ESTATE THE

CART RIGHTS HAD ON THE MARKET

FOR YEARS WAS ONLY PURCHASED BY

A CASH BUYER.

THE COMPANY'S EXCESS INVENTORY

OF POOL TABLES ALSO SOLD.

THE COMBINED INCOME MADE IT

POSSIBLE FOR THE COUPLE TO PAY

OFF THEIR SECOND MORTGAGE AND

STAY IN THEIR HOME.

I CAN SAY WITH ASSURANCE

THAT WHEN YOU TITHE GOD ALWAYS

PROVIDES FOR YOU. HE

MULTIPLIES THAT SEED SOWN AND

THAT IS A FUNCTIONAL ABSOLUTE.

Reporter: TODAY TOM AND

ALLISON RUN A COACHING COMPANY

FOR INVENTORS. THE CART RIGHTS

LOVE TO SHARE HOW TITHING AND

GIVING HAVE AFFECTED THEIR

SUCCESS.

WHAT PEOPLE SPEND THEIR

MONEY ON SO USE WHAT IS TRULY

IN THEIR HEART NUMBER ONE, ARE

YOU TITHING?

IF YOU'RE NOT TITHING THAT

MIGHT BE WHY YOU ARE IN A

FINANCIAL SITUATION OR GOD IS

NOT OPENING DOORS.

THAT GOD DOESN'T TWISTER ARMS

TO DO IT, BUT HE HAS A LOT OF

MISSES AND WONDERFUL THINGS FOR

YOU WHEN YOU DO TITHE.

DO YOU TRUST YOURSELF FOR

THE REST OF YOUR LIFE OR DO YOU

@WANT TO LEAN ON ANOTHER SOURCE

THAT IS GOD OF THE UNIVERSE?

WHEN YOU JUST BE OBEDIENT YOU

CANNOT OUT GIVE HIM.

NO WAY.

YOU WILL ALWAYS OUTDO YOU.

AND MORE THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE.

THERE'S A NEW PHRASE FOR YOU

AND WHAT SHE SAID, TITHING RIGHT

. WHEN YOU TITHE YOU ENABLE

YOURSELF TO HAVE CERTAIN RIGHTS

. AND THOSE RIGHTS ARE SPELLED

OUT IN THE THIRD CHAPTER OF

MALACHI, PROVE ME NOW IN THIS

IF I WILL NOW OPEN FOR YOU THE

WINDOWS OF HEAVEN AND POUR OUT

FOR YOU A BLESSING THAT YOU

CAN'T CONTAIN. ON TOP OF IT HE

PROMISES I WILL REBUKE THE

DEVOUR FOR YOUR SAKES I WILL

GIVE YOU SO MUCH AND THEN I

WILL PREVENT DISASTERS FROM

HAPPENING TO YOU, SO THAT YOU

WILL HAVE PLENTY. THAT IS WHAT

GOD ALMIGHTY IS PROMISING BUT

THAT IS WHAT A TITHING RIGHT

IS.

WHEN YOU TITHE YOU HAVE RIGHTS

TO CLAIM THAT. HOW DOES GOD

OPEN UP WINDOWS IN HEAVEN?

THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.

HE HAS GOT LOTS OF WAYS TO DO IT

ONE OF THE WAYS HE DOES IT IS

HE GIVES YOU CREATIVE IDEAS.

HE HAS GOT A LOT OF VERY, VERY,

VERY GOOD IDEAS.

HE WILL GIVE THEM TO YOU BUT

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS ASK.

WHEN YOU GIVE EXPECT TO HAVE

THE RIGHT.

WHEN YOU HAVE THAT AND YOU ARE

DOING IT FAITHFULLY AND

CONSISTENTLY THAT IS WHEN THE

BLESSINGS COME.

@KIND OF SCHEME. THAT'S NOT THE

DEAL HERE.

THE DEAL IS WHEN YOU LIVE IN

THE ACCIDENT WHAT DOES SHE

RECALL?

HER TRIP TO HEAVEN.

Reporter: SATURDAY JUNE 9th,

2018.

A DAY OF THE FUN AT A PARK

SWIMMING POOL TURNED INTO A

NIGHTMARE.

I NOTICED THAT A MAN WAS

BRINGING OUT A YOUNG GIRL AND

SHE WAS JUST DROOPED OVER HIS

ARMS.

AND HE WAS ASKING FOR HELP. HE

GOES, HELP ME, HELP ME.

Reporter: AS A LIFEGUARD

JUMPED INTO BEGIN CPR PASTORS

YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER, ANNIE.

CHEST UP. AND SHE WAS, HER EYES

WERE ROLLED BACK IN HER HEAD.

SHE LOOKED SO LIFELESS SHE WAS

LIFELESS.

SHE WAS MY LITTLE GIRL, SHE WAS

ONLY NINE, AND I FELT VERY

HELPLESS AND ASKING GOD, PLEASE,

PRAYING THAT, YOU KNOW, CPR

WILL WORK.

BACK TO LIFE.

ARRIVED THEY GAVE ANNIE OXYGEN

AND RUSHED HER TO A HOSPITAL

TWO MINUTES AWAY.

WHEN THE POWELLS ARRIVED AT THE

RESPIRATORY FAILURE.

NOW IN A COMATOSE STATE AND HE

NEEDED TO BE LIFE FLIGHTED TO

JW RUBY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL, A

PLEASE GIVE HER BACK TO ME.

Reporter: AFTER THE CHOPPER

LANDED DOCTORS SAID THE NEXT 72

HOURS WERE CRITICAL. NOW IN A

MEDICALLY INDUCED COMA HER

BLOOD AND OXYGEN LEVELS WERE

DANGEROUSLY LOW.

THE EXTENDED TIME WITHOUT OXYGEN

MIGHT HAVE CAUSED IRREVERSIBLE

DAMAGE TO HER HEART AND BRAIN

IF SHE SURVIVED.

EVEN THEN DAVE AND KATHY HELD

ONTO HOPE

SHE LOOKED LIKE A LITTLE

ROBOT.

SHE HAD A CAP ON HER HEAD LIKE

ALL THESE WIRES. I FOUND OUT

THAT WAS FOR MEASURING SEIZURES

. SHE HAD A TRACH. I JUST FELT

SO HELPLESS, BECAUSE I COULDN'T

DO ANYTHING TO HELP HER.

Reporter: BY NOW DOZENS OF

PEOPLE FILLED THE HOSPITAL

WAITING ROOM PRAYING FOR A

MIRACLE.

ALL WE COULD DO WAS JUST

LEAN ON GOD AND PRAY. LORD,

JUST HELP US.

HELP ANNIE. EVEN HELPED THE

DOCTORS. GIVE THEM THE WISDOM

AND HELP THEM TO BE ABLE TO

HELP HER, TO GET BACK TO NORMAL.

Reporter: THE FOLLOWING DAY,

SUNDAY, THE POWELL'S HOME

CHURCH HELD A SPECIAL TIME OF

PRAYER FOR ANNIE AND HER FAMILY.

KNEW IN MY HEART THAT SHE WOULD

BE OKAY.

SIGNS SHE WAS AWARE AND COULD

MOVE.
