ANCHOR, LIKE YOU HAVE NEVER
SEEN HIM BEFORE.
NBC'S CRAIG MELVIN OPENS UP
ABOUT HIS LIFE OFF CAMERA.
> AND, THE PERFECT STORM
TAKING OUT OUR FOOD SUPPLY.
WAR, INFLATION AND BAD WEATHER
OF MILLIONS ON THE BRINK OF
STARVATION.
LET'S TALK ABOUT AFGHANISTAN.
90% OF THE POPULATION DO NOT
HAVE ENOUGH FOOD TO EAT.
WHAT IS BEING DONE TO AVERT
THE CRISIS.
1 MILLION CHILDREN UNDER THE
AGE OF FIVE COULD DIE FROM OUR
NUTRITION BY THE END OF THIS
YEAR.
ON TWO DAYS, 700 CLUB.
> WELCOME TO THE 70000 C
DESTROYING WOMEN'S SPORTS,
COMPROMISING SAFETY AND
PRIVACY.
THAT COULD BE THE OUTCOME OF
PRESIDENT BIDEN'S PUSH TO
REDEFINE THE FEDERAL LAW CALLED
TITLE IX.
50 YEARS AGO, THE LAW WAS
ESTABLISHED TO PROHIBIT SECS-
BASED DISCRIMINATION IN HIGHER
EDUCATION.
NOW THE ADMINISTRATION WANTS TO
EXPAND IT TO PROTECT GENDER
IDENTITY.
HEATHER SELLS HAS THE STORY.
Reporter: THE EDUCATION
DEPARTMENT HAS MADE CLEAR FOUR
MONTHS, IT PLANS TO CHANGE
TITLE E IXM A FEDERAL LAW
CREATED TO PROTECT GIRLS RIGHT
IN SCHOOL AND SPORTS TO ONE
THAT ALL ALSO PROTECTS GENDER
IDENTITY.
IT IS BASED WHOLLY ON SOMEONE'S
SUBJECTIVE GENDER IDENTITY. THE
WASHINGTON POST REPORTING THE
PROPOSED CHANGE AND LEGAL
ANALYST SARAH PARSHALL PERRY
SAYS IT'S NO SURPRISE GIVEN THE
ADMINISTRATION'S ARTISTE.
THE PROPOSAL IS A DRAMATIC
REDEFINITION OF THE
GROUNDBREAKING CIVIL RIGHTS LAW
DESIGNED TO LEVEL THE PLAYING
FIELD FOR R WO
IT WOULD EXPAND THE MEANING OF
SEX DISSEMINATION TO INCLUDE
SEXUAL ORIENTATION AND GENDER
IDENTITY.
IT WILL NOT ONLY ELIMINATE
ATHLETIC OPPORTUNITIES FOR
YOUNG GIRLS AND WOMEN, IT IS
GOING TO ELIMINATE THEIR SENSE
OF SAFETY, SECURITY AND
PRIVACY.
Reporter: CONSERVATIVE LEGAL
SCHOLARS LIKE PERRY AND
FEMINISTS AGREE IF MEN IDENTIFY
AS WOMEN CAN COMPETE AGAINST
WOMEN AND SHARE THEIR LOCKER
ROOMS AND BATHROOMS, IT WILL
ERASE WOMEN'S SPORTS ALONG WITH
THEY POINT TO NCAA SWIMMER LEAH
THOMAS, FORMERLY WILL L TH,
WHO BECAME A NATIONAL CHAMPION
IN HIS FIRST SEASON COMPETING
AGAINST WOMEN.
FORMER EDUCATION SECRETARY
BETSY DIVORCE IS ALSO CONCERNED
CALLING THE ADMINISTRATION OUT
OF LINE.
CONGRESS HAS NOT ACTED, WHICH
IS HOW OUR SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT
REQUIRES SUCH CHANGES TO BE
MADE.
SHE ARGUED RECENTLY.
THE PERSON SEES YOU.
Reporter: PRESIDENT BIDEN IS
FORMALLY COMMITTED TO ANYONE
WHO SAYS THEY ARE CHANGING
THEIR GENDER.
HE WANTS THEIR PARENTS ONBOARD.
THE PARENTS O OF CHEN,
AFFIRMING YOUR CHILD'S IDENTITY
IS ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL
THINGS YOU CAN DO TO KEEP THEM
SAVED IN HEALTHY.
Reporter: IS WHY HEALTH AND
HUMAN SERVICES IS WORKING TO
REDEFINE SEX, MAKING IT ILLEGAL
FOR HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS AND
PARENTS POTENTIALLY TO REFUSE
WHAT IS KNOWN AS GENDER
AFFIRMING CARE.
PARENTS, AS WELL, WHO
REFUSED TO AFFIRM THOSE GENDER
IDENTITIES OF MINOR CHILDREN
COULD BE DEEMED TO BE UNSAFE
AND ABUSIVE PARENTS.
Reporter: IT WILL GO THROUGH
A PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD THAN
THEY CAN BECOME LEGALLY
BINDING, GORDON.
HOW LIKELY IS IT THIS TITLE
IX CHANGE WILL TAKE EFFECT?
Reporter: TO PUT IT IN
PERSPECTIVE, GORDON, THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION ANNOUNCED ON DAY
ONE VIA EXECUTIVE ORDER THEY
WERE GOING TO LOOK AT ALL
REGULATIONS IN ALL DEPARTMENTS.
AND LOOK AT THEM THROUGH THE
LENS OF THE 2020 DECISION AND
ADD GENDER IDENTITY PROTECTION
IN.
THAT IS THE BACKDROP TO THIS.
IN TERMS OF TIMING RIGHT NOW,
WE ARE E EXPNG THESE PROPOSED
REGULATIONS TO COME OUT IN THE
NEXT MONTH.
THERE'S A 30 TO 60 DAY COMMENT
PERIOD.
THEN THE DEPARTMENT HAS TO LOOK
AT ALL COMMENTS.
POTENTIALLY THIS FALL WE COULD
BE SEEING THESE REGULATIONS PUT
INTO PLACE.
WE ARE, OF COURSE, ALSO
EXPECTING LEGAL CHALLENGES. IN
FACT, JUST YESTERDAY FOX NEWS
IS REPORTING 15 ATTORNEYS
GENERALS ARE SAYING THEY ARE
GOING TO FIGHT BACK IN REGARDS
TO THESE PROPOSED REGULATIONS.
YOU MENTIONED BOSS STOCK.
IS THIS ANOTHER CASE WHERE THE
SUPREME COURT IS CREATING
LEGISLATION BY CHANGING WHAT
THE WORD SEX MEANS IN
PARTICULAR?
AND THAT ONE, IT WAS ABOUT SEX
DISCRIMINATION AT THE
WORKPLACE.
ARE THEY JUST SAYING WE ARE
GOING TO TAKE THAT DECISION AND
MAKE IT FEDERAL LAW FOR TITLE
IX?
YES, INDEED, THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION HAS A DIFFERENT
VIEW OF BOSSDOC.
THEY ARE BROADLY INTERPRETING
IT.
THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION WAS
NARROWLY A INTERPRETING IT. THE
BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS SAYING,
LOOK, WE NEED TO REVIEW ALL
REGULATIONS IN LIGHT OF
BOSSDOC.
POTENTIALLY, WE ARE LOOKING AT
VERY WIDE SWEEPING CHANGES IN
EDUCATION, IN HEALTHCARE . I
THINK, IN SOME WAYS, WE HAVE
KNOWN THIS IS COMING BUT IN
SOME WAYS THE GENERAL PUBLIC IS
NOT AWARE OF WHAT IS COMING
DOWN THE PIKE. LET'S TALK A
COMING DOWN THE PIKE.
WHAT'S THE RISK TO PARENTS WHO
DON'T AFFIRM CHILDREN WHO SAY,
WELL, I BELIEVE I'M OF ANOTHER
SEX?
WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO THEM?
Reporter: THAT IS WHAT THE
15 ATTORNEYS GENERAL WERE
POINTING OUT SAYING, WE ARE
VERY CONCERNED ABOUT PARENTS'
RIGHTS AND CONCERNED PARENTS
AREN'T GOING TO HAVE A SAY WHEN
IT COMES THINGS LIKE GENDER
ISSUES.
WE ARE ALREADY SEEING THIS PLAY
OUT IN A NUMBER OF SCHOOLS
WEATHER IS COUNSELING TAKING
PLACE AROUND GENDER ISSUES AND
PARENTS ARE BEING KEPT OUT OF
THE LOOP.
THAT'S A BIG CONCERN.
THERE'S ALSO A GROWING
BIPARTISAN PARENTS MOVEMENT IN
THIS COUNTRY.
PARENTS ARE MORE AWARE OF WHAT
IS GOING ON IN EDUCATION THAN
THEY HAVE EVER BEEN.
THERE ARE THESE PUBLIC COMMENT
PERIOD THAT WILL BE COMING UP
WHERE PEOPLE CAN RESPOND AND
WHERE THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION
WILL BE GAUGING THE POLITICAL
WINS, IF YOU WILL.
THERE'S ALSO SCOREBOARD
ELECTIONS COMING UP.
THERE'S A LOT GOING FORWARD.
PUBLIC DEBATE AROUND THIS OF
ISSUE.
LET'S TALK ABOUT ONE OF THE
MAIN AREAS FOR PUBLIC DEBATE,
WHICH IS HHS.
IT'S A SIMILAR RULE MANDATING
HEALTHCARE COVERAGE AND I
ASSUME HEALTHCARE TREATMENT FOR
TRANSGENDER SERVICES.
WHAT IMPACT WILL THAT HAVE ON
EMPLOYERS, HOSPITALS, AND
ESPECIALLY PARENTS?
Reporter: THIS IS REALLY
STUNNING.
WHAT THE POTENTIAL
RAMIFICATIONS COULD BE.
THE CATHOLIC NEWS SERVICE IS
REPORTING THE CATHOLIC BENEFITS
ASSOCIATION, WHICH OVERSEES OR
IS AN ASSOCIATION FOR CATHOLIC
EMPLOYERS, HAS RECEIVED
DOCUMENTS THAT INDICATE THERE
ARE GOING G TOMANDATES IN
TERMS OF SURGICAL ABORTION, IN
TERMS OF TRANSGENDER HORMONES,
TRANSGENDER SURGERY, THAT THEY
ARE GOING TO REQUIRE ALL
HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS TO PROVIDE
THESE TYPES OF SERVICES.
THIS IS GOING TO BE A NO GO FOR
CATHOLIC HOSPITALS. THEY ARE
NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO ABIDE
BY THIS.
THEY HAVE ONE SIXTH OF ALL OF
THE HOSPITAL BEDS IN THE
COUNTRY.
THE POTENTIAL RAMIFICATIONS OF
SOME OF THESE HHS REGULATIONS
THAT WE THINK ARE GOING TO BE
COMING OUT NEXT MONTH ARE
REALLY SIGNIFICANT AND COULD
AFFECT, OF COURSE, MORE THAN
CATHOLIC HOSPITALS.
COULD AFFECT THE FAITH-BASED
EMPLOYERS OF ALL KINDS.
IT IS NOT LOOKING LIKEKE T'S
GOING TO BE RELIGIOUS
EXEMPTIONS.
POTENTIALLY SOME REALLY
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES COMING
FORWARD.
HEATHER, THANK YOU FOR THE
INSIGHTS.
THIS IS DEFINITELY TROUBLED
WATERS.
JUST LOOK AT THAT STATISTIC.
ONE SIXTH OF ALL HOSPITAL BEDS
ARE DONE BY CATHOLIC CHARITIES.
HOSPITALS WERE ESSENTIALLY
CREATED BY CHRISTIANS.
THIS IS OUR HERITAGE.
YOU CAN LOOK AT THE MEDICAL
HISTORY OF MISSION WORK.
YOU LOOK AT THE MEDICAL HISTORY
OF EUROPE AND AMERICA.
THESE WERE ALL FOUNDED
INITIALLY ON CHRISTIAN PRECEPTS.
LET'S HEAL THE SICK, HELP THE
POOR, DO GOOD TO OTHER PEOPLE.
NOW THAT WE ARE BECOMING
INCREASINGLY SECULARIZED, AND
WHEN YOU HAVE AN ADMINISTRATION
THAT SEES WEDGE ISSUES, YOU
WILL SEE THOSE RELIGIOUS RIGHTS
TRAMPLED.
I HOPE SOME COMMON SENSE COMES
INTO CONGRESS AND TO THE
ADMINISTRATION SAYING, WHY ARE
YOU TRYING TO DIVIDE US EVEN
MORE?
IF A CATHOLIC HOSPITAL WANTS TO
PROVIDE HOSPITAL SERVICES, THEY
HAVE A PERFECT RIGHT TO.
IF A PRESBYTERIAN HOSPITAL
WANTS TO PROVIDE HOSPITAL
SERVICES, THEY HAVE A PERFECT
RIGHT TO AND YOU CAN'T COME IN
AND MANDATE THINGS THAT ARE
AGAINST THE RELIGIOUS
CONSCIENCE.
LETS US ESTABLISH FREEDOM OF
CONSCIENCE, FREEDOM OF BELIEF,
FREDOM OF RELIGION AS A
BULWARK OF AMERICAN SOCIETY AND
STOP TRYING TO IMPOSE YOUR VIEW
ON PEOPLE WHO ARE JUST TRYING
TO DO GOOD.
> A POLITICAL CRISIS LIVING
IN ISRAEL AFTER THE GOVERNING
COALITION LOST A KEY MEMBER.
JOHN JESSUP HAS MORE ON THAT
STORY FROM HER CBN NEWS BUREAU
IN WASHINGTON.
Reporter: A M MEMR
ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER THE TELE
BENNETT COALITION QUIT CLAIMING
ISRAEL IS LOSING ITS JEWISH
IDENTITY UNDER THE CURRENT
GOVERNMENT.
THE DEPARTURE RAISES THE
POSSIBILITY OF NEW ELECTIONS
LESS THAN A YEAR AFTER THE
GOVERNMENT TOOK OFFICE.
WHILE BENNETT REMAINS IN POWER
INSTEAD OF A 61-59 MAJORITY, HE
NEVER RECEIVES 6060. THAT WILL
MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR THE
GOVERNMENT TO FUNCTION OR PASS
LEGISLATION.
OPPOSITION LEADER AND FORMER
PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN
NETANYAHU WELCOMED THE DECISION.
TURNING TO THE CRISIS IN
EUROPE.
UKRAINE'S PRESESIDT LLING THE
UNITED NATIONS TO BOOT RUSSIA
OFF THE UN SECURITY COUNCIL FOR
ATROCITIES AGAINST CIVILIANS.
THIS, AS THE WORLD PREPARES
SANCTIONS AGAINST RUSSIA.
THE UNITED STATES AND ARMS TO
UKRAINE.
Reporter: SPEAKING TO THE
RESEARCHER TO COUNSEL TO THE
PRESIDENCY CALLED ON THE BODY
TO HOLD RUSSIA ACCOUNTABLE FOR
WAR CRIMES AS HE LAID OUT THE
ATROCITIES COMMITTED BY RUSSIAN
FORCES IN THE TOWN OF BUCHA.
THEY WERE KILLED IN THEIR
APARTMENTS, HOUSES, APARTMENTS.
CIVILIANS WERE CRUSHED BY TANKS
BY SITTING IN CARS.
Reporter: HE ALSO URGED
REFORM AT THE U.N. BY KICKING
RUSSIA OUT OF THE SECURITY
COUNCIL AND REMOVING ITS VETO
POWER.
SPECULATORS AND GENTLEMEN, YOU
READY TO CLOSE THE U.N.? DO YOU
THINK THE TIME OF INTERNATIONAL
LAW IS GONE?
IF YOUR ANSWER IS NO YOU NEED
TO ACT IMMEDIATELY.
Reporter: WHILE THE RUSSIANS
ARE CALLING THE IMAGES FAKE,
TESTIMONIES OF SURVIVORS ARE
COMING OUT EVERY DAY.
THE VICTIMS INCLUDE INNOCENT
MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN.
SOME, APPARENTLY TIED UP,
TORTURED AND SHOT AT CLOSE
RANGE.
THIS MAN SAYS MEN YOUNGER THAN
50 WERE LINED UP AND SHOT ON
THE SPOT.
HE SURVIVED BECAUSE HE IS 53.
WHAT WE SEE IN BUCHA IS NOT
THE RANDOM ACT OF A ROGUE UNIT.
IT'S A DELIBERATE CAMPAIGN TO
KILL, TO TORTURE, TO RAPE, TO
COMMIT ATROCITIES.
Reporter: PRESIDENT BIDEN
AND EUROPEAN LEADER SET TO
ANNOUNCE MORE SANCTIONS AGAINST
RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS
AND FAMILY MEMBERS.
THE EUROPEAN UNION REPORTEDLY
PROPOSING SANCTIONS DIRECTLY
AGAINST VLADIMIR PUTIN'S TWO
DAUGHTERS.
THE U.S. IS SENDING AN
ADDITIONAL $100 MILLION IN
SECURITY ASSISTANCE TO UKRAINE.
THAT'S HELPING MILITARY SECURE
MORE JAVELIN ANTI-ARMOR
SYSTEMS.
MEANWHILE, RUSSIAN FORCES
DEPLOYED TO THE SOUTH AND EAST.
HUMAN RIGHTS GROUPS SAY THE
SITUATION IN MARIUPOL IS
DESPERATE AND THE ATROCITIES
ARE LIKELY MUCH WORSE.

LOOMING GLOBAL CATASTROPHE.
FOOD EXPERTS WARN A HISTORIC
SALMON IS ON THE HORIZON WITH
285 MILLION PEOPLE AT RISK OF
STARVATION.
DALE HURD BRINGS US THE
DETAILS.
Reporter: IT IS MEALTIME IN
THE NATION OF YEMEN.
HE IS AN EATING SO HIS CHILDREREN
HAVE ENOUGH FOOD.
HE SAYS HE AND HIS FAMILY LIVE
LIKE ANTS OR FISH. WE EAT WHAT
WE CAN FIND.
EXPERTS WARN IN THE MONTHS AHEAD
FOOD IS GOING TO BE HARDER TO
FIND IN MANY MORE NATIONS.
A PERFECT STORM OF SEVERAL
PROBLEMS IS DECIMATING THE
WORLD FOOD SUPPLY. IT HAS BEEN
CALLED THE BIGGEST FOOD CRISIS
SINCE WORLD WAR II.
AN ESTIMATED 285 MILLION PEOPLE
FACE STARVATION.
THE HEAD OF THE WORLD FOOD
PROGRAM, FORMER SUCCULENT THE
GOVERNOR, DAVID BEASLEY, SAYS
THE WORLD FOOD SUPPLY ALREREAD
FACED A CATASTROPHE BEFORE THE
WAR IN UKRAINE.
WE'RE SO SHORT OF FUNDS
ALREADY, AND NOW WITH UKRAINE,
WE'VE GOT 50% RATIONS FOR
PEOPLE, FOR EXAMPLE, IN YEMEN,
I'VE JUST CUT 50% RATIONS FOR
EIGHT MILLION PEOPLE.
NIGER, 50% RATIONS, CHAD, 50%
RATIONS.
AND 50% DON'T HAVE ANYTHING,
THOSE WHO ARE IN EXTREME NEED.
Reporter: IN THE U.S.,
AMERICANS HAVE SEEN FOOD COSTS
RISE 10 PERCENT OVER LAST YEAR,
THE STEEPEST INCREASE IN 40
YEARS, WHICH EXPERTS SAY WILL
LEAD TO AN INCREASE IN
MALNUTRITION AMONG AMERICA'S
POOR.
EXPERTS PREDICT IT WILL LEAD TO
AN INCREASE IN MALNUTRITION N
AMONG AMERICA'S POOR.
IN THE DEVELOPING WORLD,
HOWEVER, IT HAS BECOME A MATTER
OF LIFE AND DEATH.
RUSSIA AND UKRAINE TOGETHER
PRODUCE ALMOST 1/3 OF THE WORLD
WHEAT.
UKRAINIAN FARMERS HAVE BEEN
SIDELINED BY THE WAR.
RUSSIA HAS BEEN BANNED EXPORTS.
THEY'VE GOT TO BE PLANTING
AGAIN AND HARVESTING AGAIN.
IF THEY DON'T, YOU'RE GOING TO
HAVE A GLOBAL SUPPLY PROBLEM.
Reporter: THE WAR IN UKRAINE
IS ONLY THE LATEST OF MANY
PROBLEMS TO HIT THE WORLD FOOD
SUPPLY.
FROM SOARING INFLATION AND FUEL
COSTS.
FERTILIZER PRICES ARE NOW 40%
HIGHER THAN A MONTH AGO BEFORE
THE INVASION OF UKRAINE.
ALONG WITH HIGH FUEL PRICES IT
MAKES IT TOO EXPENSIVE FOR SOME
FARMERS TO PLANT CROPS THIS
YEAR.
WE'VE NEVER SEEN THESE TYPES
OF INCREASES IN FERTILIZER.
YOU'RE TALKING 300% TO 400%
INCREASES IN A 14 MONTH PERIOD.
Reporter: ADD TO THAT A
DROUGHT THAT DAMAGE THE U.S.
WINTER WHEAT HARVEST.
AND CHINA, SEVERE FLOODING LATE
LAST YEAR WRECKED THE WHEAT
HARVEST AND HAS THE COMMUNIST
GOVERNMENT TRYING TO BUY UP AS
MUCH OF THE WORLD SUPPLY AS
POSSIBLE.
A GROWING LIST OF NATIONS HAVE
NN AGRICULTURAL EXPORTS TO
OTHER NATIONS.
REV IN EUGENE CHO OF BREAD FOR
THE WORLD SAYS THE U.S. NEEDS
TO DO MORE TO FIGHT FOR GLOBAL
HUNGER ASKING CONGRESS TO
APPROVE $3.8 BILLION IN
SUPPLEMENTAL EMERGENCY FUNDING.
LET'S JUST TALK ABOUT
AFGHANISTAN . 98% OF THE
POPULATION DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH
FOOD TO EAT.
98%.
1 MILLION CHILDREN UNDER THE
AGE OF FIVE COULD DIE FROM AN
ATTRITION BY THE END OF THIS
YEARAR.
IN YEMEN, 8 MILLION PEOPLE ARE
IN DIRE NEED.
Reporter: EVEN AFRICA'S
WEALTHIEST NATION FACES A FOOD
CISIS, ACCORDING TO NIGERIAN
AGRI-INVESTOR IMAL SILVA, WHO
TOLD US A MAJORITY OF NIGERIANS
ARE FACING MALNUTRITION.
THOSE THAT ARE MOST AFFECTED
ARE THE MAJORITY IN THE LOWER
AND MIDDLE CLASS OF SOCIETY.
THOSE THAT WERE LIVING BELOW A
PARTICULAR LEVEL OF INCOME
WOULD FEEL THE PINCH AND THAT'S
QUITE A LARGE MAJORIT.
Reporter: BEASELEY WARNED
THE WORLD FOOD CRISIS COULD
SPIRAL INTO A POLITICAL CRISIS.
YOU GOT CATASTROPHE COMING
TO CATASTROPHE.
DON'T BE SURPRISED IF YOU SEE
DESTABILIZATION IN SEVERAL
NATIONS OVER THE NEXT SIX TO
NINE MONTHS.
THERE'S A NEW TERM IN
NONPROFITS CALLED FOOD AND
SECURITY.
THAT'S ANOTHER TERM FOR HUNGER.
WE ARE GETTING INTO A VERY OLD-
FASHIONED WORD, STARVATION.
YOU JUST DON'T HAVE ANY FOOD.
YOU HAVE NO ABILITY TO GET
FOOD.
WHERE IS THAT GOING TO HIT?
THAT'S PRIMARILY GOING TO HIT
NATIONS YOU JUST HEARD ABOUT AN
AFRICA -- NICE YEAR, NIGERIA.
FOOD INSECURITY WILL GET TO A
LEVEL THEY LITERALLY DO NOT HAVE
ENOUGH FOOD TO FEED THEIR OWN
POPULATION.
WHY?
IT'S THE PERFECT STORM.
UKRAINE IS ONE OF THE LARGEST
PRODUCERS OF RED WHEAT.
YOU TAKE THAT SOURCE OF SUPPLY
OFF THE TABLE, THEN YOU ADD
INTO IT TRANSPORTATION ISSUES
COMING OUT OF CHINA.
THE WHOLE PORT OF SHANGHAI IS
SHUTDOWN RIGHT NOW.
YOU HAVE A DROUGHT IN OUR OWN
COUNTRY IN THE MIDWEST, WHICH
IS AFFECTING THE WHEAT HARVESTSTST
RIGHT HERE AT HOME.
THEN YOU HAVE SKYROCKETING
FERTILIZER PRICES BECAUSE FUEL
COSTS ARE GOING THROUGH THE
ROOF.
CAN YOU AFFORD TO EVEN PLANT
YOUR CROP AND PROPERLY
FERTILIZE IT?
ALL OF THESE THINGS ARE COMING
TOGETHER.
LEFT US PRAY TO GOD. THAT IS
WHAT WE NEED RIGHT NOW TO SAY,
WE NEED YOU.
PLEASE AVERT THIS CATASTROPHE.
WE CAN SEE IT COMING.
HOW DO WE GET FOOD PRODUCTION
GOING IN THESE NATIONS IN
AFRICA?
HOW CAN WE PROVIDE IRRIGATION?
THAT IS THE NUMBER ONE THING
THEY NEED.
HOW CAN WE BREAK THE LOGJAM SO
FERTILIZER PRICES COME DOWN.
THAT IS SOMETHING CONGRESS
DEFINITELY CAN DO RIGHT HERE IN
THE UNITED STATES TO GET OUR
OWN FARMERS PLANTING AGAIN.
ALL OF THESE THINGS CAN HAPPEN.
WE HAVE TO HAVE THE FORESIGHT
TO BRING IT TO BEAR.
WE NEED THE UNITY TO BRING IT
TO BEAR.
WHAT A GREAT CAUSE.
LET'S COME TOGETHER SO THAT NO
ONE HAS TO START OF IN THE
COMING YEAR.

A CANDID CONVERSATION BETWEEN
TWO TELEVISION COHOSTS.
OUR OWN TERRY MEEUWSEN
INTERVIEWED CRAIG MELVIN.
STAY TUNED TO SEE A SIDE OF THE
NBC ANCHOR YOU WON'T SEE
ANYWHERE ELSE.
THAT'S RIGHT AFTER THIS.
> WE HAVE SEEN NBC ANCHOR
CRAIG MELVIN ON THE TRANSSEXUAL,
OLYMPIC GAMES, SUPER BOWL, IF
YOU PRESIDENTIAL INAUGURATIONS
IN PRETTY MUCH EVERY MAJOR
EVENT THAT HAS CROSSED THE
NEWSWIRES.
ALONG THE WAY, CRAIG HAS MADE
HEADLINES HIMSELF.
Reporter: CRAIG MELVIN IS
THE COHOST OF THE TRANSIT SHOW
AND WILL BE FRONT AND CENTER AS
THE ONLY NETWORK ANCHOR TO
COVER THE ENTIRE DURATION OF
THE OLYMPIC GAMES.
AS A DEVOTED HUSBAND, FATHER
AND MAN OF FAITH, HE
UNDERSTANDS THE IMPORTANCE OF
TURNING TO GOD FOR HELP.
HE GARNERED ATTENTION WHEN HE
ASKED TO PRAY FOR OUR NATION ON
LIVE TV.
30 SECONDS FOR FOLKS WHO
AREN'T ABLE TO GET TO CHURCH
YESTERDAY.
I HAVE NEVER DONE THIS ON THE
AIR.
CAN YOU LEAD US IN PRAYER FOR
30 SECONDS.
YES, I CAN.
OUR FATHER AND OUR GOD, WE BOW
OUR HEADS TO YOU.
Reporter: HAD CRAIG MELVIN
JOINS US VIA SKYPE.
WELCOME TO THE SHOW.
IT IS GREAT TO HAVE YOU ON
TODAY.
GOOD TO BE WITH YOU.
THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.
Reporter: WE JUST SAW A
SNIPPET OF YOUR VIRAL MOMENT
WITH BISHOP T.D.
JAKES.
WALK US THROUGH WHAT HAPPENED.
THAT WAS REALLY EARLY ON IN
THE PANDEMIC WHEN WE JUST
DIDN'T KNOW A WHOLE LOT ABOUT
THE VIRUS AND WE DIDN'T KNOW A
WHOLE LOT ABOUT WHERE ALL OF IT
WAS HEADED AND PEOPLE WERE
SCARED.
MYSELF INCLUDED.
AND, YOU KNOW, I'M ONE OF THOSE
GUYS WHEN I DON'T KNOW
SOMETHING, I TURN TO GOD.
IN THAT MOMENT, I FELT LIKE A
LOT OF FOLKS JUST DIDN'T KNOW A
LOT, AND I FELT T T LICOULD
USE A MOMENT WITH GOD.
IT WAS NOT SOMETHING I HAD
OBVIOUSLY TALKED TO A PRODUCER
OR NEWS MANAGER ABOUT AHEAD OF
TIME.
I WAS MOVED BY THE SPIRIT.
FORTUNATELY FOR ME, PASTOR
JAKE'S DOES A LOT OF TELEVISION.
WHEN I GAVE HIM 30 SECONDS FOR
A PRAYER, HE WASAS AE KEEP
IT TO PRETTY CLOSOSTO 30
SECONDS.
THAT WAS A WISE THING TO DO.
HE HAS SUCH A STRONG PRESENCE.
HE COMMANDS THE PRESENCE OF
PEOPLE AS THEY COME BEFORE THE
LORD.
IT WAS GREAT.
WHAT ARE OTHER WAYS YOU COVER A
NEWS EVENT?
YOU SAY YOU ARE NOT ALWAYS IN A A A
POSITION TO DO THAT.
YEARS AGO THERE WERE STORIES
INVOLVING FAITH.
WE DON'T REALLY COVER FAITH A
GREAT DEAL.
OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS, WE
HAVE DONE THAT.
ACT, I AM WORKING ON ONE
NOW.
I LOVE STORIES OF REDEMPTION
AND FORGIVENESS AND WE ARE
WORKING ON A STORY NOW ABOUT A
FELLOW WHO WAS ONCE THE MAYOR
OF DETROIT, WHO FELL ON HARD
TIMES AND WAS INDICTED AND
SPENT A NUMBER OF YEARS IN
FEDERAL PRISON INVOLVING
PRISON.
HE FOUND THE LORD.
NOW, THE ONE TIME HUCKSTER IS A
MAN OF GREAT FAITH AND HE
PREACHES THE GOSPEL.
I LOVE STORIES LIKE THATAT.
THEY SPEAK TO ME, AND I THINK
THEY SPEAK TO A LOT OF FOLKS.
WE ARE MAKING MORE THE
CONCERTED EFFORT FOR THAT.
YOU HAVE LOST AN OLDER
BROTHER TO CANCER.
YOU LOST A NIECE TO PEDIATRIC
CANCER.
THESE ARE THE KINDS OF THINGS
THAT SOMETIMES CAUSE PEOPLE'S
FAITH TO FALTER.
YOUR FAITH SUSTAINED YOU DURING
THOSE TRAGEDIES.
HOW?
THEY DID.
FIRST OF ALL, MY OLDER BROTHER
WE LOST TO COLON CANCER AT 43.
HE WAS DIAGNOSED AT 39.
WE LOST HIM AT 3343.
HE WAS A MINISTER.
WE GREW UP W WITH H.
I AM NOT ONE OF THESE PEOPLE
THAT ONLY TURNS TO GOD WHEN
THINGS ARE AT THEIR WORST.
I LIKE TO THANK HIM EVERY
MORNING.
I PRAY A PRAYER OF GRATITUDE TO
START THE DAY.
BUT, THOSE DARK MOMENTS, AND
THEY WERE QUITE DARK, SOMETIMES
THERE'S NO ONE ELSE TO TALK TO.
NO ONE ELSE TO POUR OUR HEART
AND SOUL OUT TO.
NO ONE ELSE TO ASK FOR
GUIDANCE.
WHEN MY NEICEKNEES WAS
DIAGNOSED WITH A RARE FORM OF
SARCOMA, SHE WAS DEAD SIX
MONTHS LATER.
SHE DIED.
THAT, AND MY BROTHER'S ILLNESS.
IT WAS SEVERAL YEARS. HE
SUFFERED FOR A WHILE WITH COLON
CANCER.
I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO LEAN ON
MY FAITH.
LEE NOT ON MY OWN
UNDERSTANDING, RIGHT?
EXACTLY.
GET UP AND CLIMB TO THE ROCK
THAT IS HIGHER T THAU ARE
PERKY YOU PUBLISHED A BOOK ON
SOVEREIGN HOOD.
TELL US ABOUT THE THINGS YOU
LEARN FROM, "POPS."
GOING BACK TO STORIES OF
REDEMPTION.
I'M ALWAYS DRAWN TO THOSE TYPES
OF STORIES.
THERE'S NO STORY OF REDEMPTION
THAT HITS CLOSER TO HOME TO ME
THAN MY FATHER'S STORY.
MY FATHER R WAFUNCTIONAL
ALCOHOLIC FOR DECADES IN SOUTH
ROLINA.
HE WAS NOT PHYSICALLY ABSENT.
HE WAS THERE PHYSICALLY.
HE WASN'T THERE EMOTIONALLY,
CERTAINLY NOT SPIRITUALLY.
THIS IS HOW I GREW UP.
THANK GOD FOR MY MOTHER WHO HAD
TO PLAY THE ROLE OF MOTHER,
FATHER. MY DAD WORKED AT THE
POST OFFICE AND HE WAS A MAIL
CLERK AND RETIRED SEVERAL YEARS
AGO.
AS I GOT OLDER, I STARTED TO
ACHIEVE A MONIKER OF WORLDLY
SUCCESS.
I FOUND MYSELF GROWING ANGRY AT
MY DAD.
THE OLDER I GOT, I WAS
RESENTFUL, AND IT WASN'T GOOD.
I HAD TO, FOR MY OWN SAKE, I
HAD TO GET TO A POINT WHERE I
FOR GAVE HIM.
AND I DID.
THAT HAPPENED SEVERAL YEARS AGO.
HE GOT INTO A DRUNK DRIVING
ACCIDENT SOME YEARS AGO. WE
DECIDED TO USE THAT AS AN
OPPORTUNITY TO TRY TO STATE AN
INTERVENTION.
IT WORKED.
WE PUT HIM IN AN INPATIENT
REHAB PROGRAM DOWN IN GEORGIA,
AND HE W WAS IERE FOR 10, 12
WEEKS AND CAME OUT A DIFFERENT
MAN ALTOGETHER.

WELCOME BACK TO THE 700
CLUB, MY DEAR FRIEND, BENNY
HINN.
IT IS GREAT TO HAVE YOU WITH
US.
THANK YOU, AND YOU ARE MY
DEAR FRIENDS.
THANK YOU FOR THIS WONDERFUL
PRIVILEGE.
YOU WENT THROUGH A VERY
DIFFICULT TIME FOR THRHREERS
IN YPERSONAL LIFE.
YOU DESCRIBED SOME OF IT IN
YOUR NEW BOOK, MYSTERIES OF THE
ANOINTING. TELL US WHAT
HAPPENED IN THOSE THREE YEARS.
IT WAS 2010, 2011, AND 2012
WHEN I WENT THROUGH THAT.
I CONTINUED MINISTERING.
WHAT WAS AMAZING TO ME WAS MY
PERSONAL LIFE WAS STRUGGLING,
BUT THE ANOINTING IN THE
MEETINGS DID NOT WE CAN OR
DIMINISH.
I WOULD D GOE WONDERING WHY
GOD WOULD USE ME IN THOSE
MEETINGS THAT I HAD DURING
THOSE THREE YEARS.
YET, MY OWN LIFE, SPIRITUALLY,
WAS STRUGGLING.
I CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT
THE ANOINTING ON MY OFFICE HAD
NOTHING TO DO WITH MY LIFE.
AND SO, I BEGAN A SEARCH
THROUGH THE SCRIPTURES, AND I
WANTED TO KNOW EVERYTHING GOD
SAID ABOUT THE ANOINTING.
TO MY AMAZEMENT, I DISCOVERED
THAT EVERYONE OF US AS
BELIEVERS HAS AN ANOINTING
WITHIN THAT WE RECEIVED AT
SALVATION THAT HAS NOTHING TO
DO WITH THE ANOINTING THAT
COMES UPON US WHEN GOD USES US.
TO MY SHOCK, I NEVER REALLY
LOOKED INTO IT LIKE THAT.
TO MY SHOCK, I DISCOVERED IT'S
POSSIBLE FOR SOMEONE TO BE USED
OF GOD AND HAVE A DEMON LIKE
SAUL.
IT'S POSSIBLE TO BE ANOINTED
FOR A MINISTRY AND INVOLVED IN
WITCHCRAFT LIKE -- I BEGAN
LOOKING AT WHAT DOES THEHE B
REALLY SAY ABOUT THAT?
AGAIN, TO MY AMAZEMENT, I FOUND
THREE MAIN RIVERS OF WHAT I
CALL OF THE ANOINTING.
ONE, FOR YOUR PERSONAL WALK IN
YOUR LIFE.
SECOND, ONE THAT COMES UPON YOU
, NOT IN YOU BUT UPON YOU, WHEN
GOD USES YOU.
IT LIFTS WHEN GOD IS DONE USING
YOU.
THREE, AN ANOINTING THAT IS
ONLY USED, RARELY REALLY, UPON
NATIONS RATHER THAN PEOPLE.
THE ANOINTNTIN FIRST JOHN 227
WAS REREAL AING AMAZING, EYE-
OPENING EXPERIENCE WHEN I BEGAN
STUDYING IT.
I SAW SIMILAR SCRIPTURES THAT
TALK ABOUT THE ANOINTING WITHIN.
IN 1 JOHN 2:27 THE TALKS ABOUT
THE ANOINTING THAT ABIDES IN
YOU RATHER THAN THE ANOINTING
THAT COMES AND GOES ON YOU, YOU
KNOW.
SO, AS I BEGAN LOOKING AT THAT
VERSE, IT KIND OF EXPANDED TO
MORE A A AND
JOHN WAS WRITING TO THE CHURCH
AT THAT TIME BECAUSE THERE WAS
A HERESY GOING AROUND WHERE
PEOPLE WERE BELIEVING JESUS WAS
NOT THE SON OF GOD AND DID NOT
COME IN THE FLESH.
JOHN WRITES AND SAYS THE
ANOINTING THAT ABIDES IN YOU
WILL TELL YOU THE TRUTH. YOU
WILL KNOW THE TRUTH BY IT.
YOU DON'T NEED ANYONE TO TEACH
YOU BUT THAT ANOINTING IN YOU
TEACHES YOU ALL THINGS.
WELL, HE DIDN'T MEAN THE
ANOINTING WITHIN US WILL TEACH
US EVERYTHING ABOUT THE BIBLE.
HE WAS SIMPLY SAYING THE
ANOINTING IN YOUR HEART WILL
REVEAL TO YOU WHO JESUS IS IN
YOUR LIFE.
THAT HE IS THE SON OF GOD.
HE DID COME IN THE FLESH.
AS YOU LOOK AT THE SCRIPTURES,
YOU KNOW, IT TALKS A LOT ABOUT
THE ANOINTING WITHIN YOU, LIKE,
GOD IS ABLE TO MOVE
EXCEEDINGLY, ABOVE ALL WE ASK
OR THINK ACCORDING TO THE PART
THAT RESIDES IN US.
THAT PART THAT RESIDES ENOUGH,
VERY FEW PEOPLE TALK ABOUT.
WHEN PEOPLE TALK ABOUT THE
ANOINTING, THEY ARE THINKING
MINISTRY.
THEY ARE THINKING SOMEONE
ANOINTED TO PREACH, ANOINTED TO
PRAY FOR THE SICK AND SO ON.
WELL, THE MOST IMPORTANT
ANOINTING IS THE ONE IN
PEOPLE'S LIVES.
IT HAS TO BE NOURISHED. THE WAY
TO KNOW IT IS THERE, FOR
EXAMPLE, I HAVE BEEN MINISTERING
THE GOSPEL NOW, GOODNESS, 48
SOMETHING YEARS.
I HAVE HAD THE ANOINTING COME
UPON ME MANY, MANY, MANY TIMES.
IN DIFFERENT MEETINGS.
WHEN I AM DONE, IT LIFTS.
IT AFFECTED MY PHYSICAL BODY.
NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT ELSE
DOES THAT ANOINTING UPON ME,
THAT COME UPON ME AND LIFTED
WHEN I WAS IN MINISTRY
AFFECTED.
THE ONE IN YOU, HOW DO YOU KNOW
IT'S THERE?
IT'S EASY TO TELL WHEN IT IS ON
YOU BECAUSE YOU CAN FEEL IT.
YOU CAN SENSE IT ON YOU.
HOW DO NO KNOW THE ANOINTING IS
THERE THAT YOU CAN FEEL IT.
THREE THINGS.
NUMBER ONE, THAT ANOINTING CAME
IN WHEN PEOPLE WERE SASAVE
WHEN YOU AND I WERE BORN AGAIN,
THREE THINGS HAPPENED.
NUMBER ONE, WE BECAME HUNGRY
FOR THE LORD.
HUNGER IS THE SIGN OF LIFE.
IN THE SPIRIT AND IN THE
NATURAL.
NUMBER TWO, EVERYTHING IN US
KNOWS I'M SAVED, I BELONG TO
JESUS.
IT IS CALLED FAITH.
WHAT BROUGHT THAT?
WHAT BRINGS THAT FAITH THAT
TELLS ME IN MY HEART I'M BORN
AGAIN?
I DON'T HAVE TO READ A BOOK TO
KNOW THAT.
I DON'T HAVE TO WATCH A TV
PROGRAM TO BE CONVINCED.
NO ANGEL COMES AND SAYS, YOU
ARE SAVED NOW.
I JUST KNOW IT BY THE SPIRIT.
IT'S A WITNESS.
BY THE ANOINTING.
THIRDLY, I BEGAN TO LOVE JESUS
HAVING NOT SEEN HIM. THINK
ABOUT THIS.
THIS IS AMAZING.
2000 YEARS AGO, THOUSANDS SAW
THE LORD AND DID NOT LOVE HIM.
TODAY, WE LOVE HIM HAVING NOT
SEEN HIM.
SO, WHAT BRINGS THAT HUNGER?
WHAT CAUSES IT TO GROW?
WHAT CAUSES FAITH TO GROW?
WHAT CAUSES LOVE TO GROW IN N US
THE ANOINTING.
WHICH ONE?
WITHIN.
I'VE GOT TO ASK THIS QUESTION
. WE'VE JUST GOT THREE MINUTES
LEFT.
I WANT TO FOCUS IN ON THIS
QUESTION THAT READING YOUR
BOOK, LET'S FOCUS ON CHAPTER
13.
YOU TALK ABOUT ONE OF THE KEYS
TO THE ANOINTING IS MINISTERING
TO THE LORD.
THAT HAS BEEN SOMETHING THAT
HAS ALWAYS BEEN A PUZZLE.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO MINISTER
TO THE LORD?
AND THAT IS WHAT KEEPS THE
ANOINTING WITHIN A LIFE.
I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THE ONE
UPON YOU, THE ONE IN YOU. .
MINISTERING TO THE LORD MEANS
LIKE SAMUEL IN 1 SAMUEL,
CHAPTER 3, MINISTER TO THE LORD
FOR THE LORD.
YOU CANNOT MINISTER FOR THE
LORD UNTIL YOU MINISTER TO THE
LORD.
HE MINISTER TO HIM AND CHANGED
THE WHOLE NATION OF ISRAEL WHEN
HE WAS YOUNG.
THINK ABOUT IN ACTS 13, THEY
WERE MINISTERING TO THE LORD SO
HE WAS CALLED AS HE WAS
MINISTERING TO THE LORD.
THE LORD DID NOT CALL HIM WHEN
HE WAS ON THE ROAD TO DAMASCUS.
HE CALLED HIM WHEN HE WAS
MINISTERING TO HIM.
MINISTERING TO THE LORD'S
WORSHIP.
WHEN WE WORSHIP HIM, WHEN WE
ADORE HIM, WHEN WE SPEND TIME
WITH HIM, WHEN, LITERALLY, WE
SURRENDER COMPLETELY TO HIM, WE
MINISTER TO HIM.
MINISTRY TO THE LORD IS WHAT
HAPPENED WITH ME, DEAR GORDON,
BACK IN THE 70s.
I SPENT HOURS AND HOURS
WORSHIPING THE LORD.
EVEN DURING THE CRUSADES FROM
2:00 PM, I WAS WORSHIPING. THE
WHOLE TIME I WAS WORSHIPING.G.
NOT REALIZING THE POWER THAT IS
IN MINISTERING TO THE LORD.
MINISTERING TO THE LORD
LITERALLY MOVES HIM TO GIVE
HIMSELF TO US.
IT SAYS SO IN EPHESIANS.
THAT IS WHAT NOURISHES THAT
HUNGER, NOURISHES THAT FAITH,
NOURISHES THAT LOVE.
THE ANOINTING UPON SOMEONE HAS
NOTHING TO DO USES THROUGH THEM
TO TOUCH PEOPLE.
ALL RIGHT.
I'VE GOT TO PROMOTE THE BOOK.
THERE'S CHAPTERS YOU HAVEN'T
EVEN TOUCHED.
THE BOOK IS "MYSTERIES OF THE
ANOINTING" AND AVAILABLE
WHEREVER BOOKS ARE SOLD.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING
WITH US.
PLEASURE.
THANK YOU.
NOT BY MIGHT NOR POWER BUT
BY MY SPIRIT SAYS THE LORD OF
HOST. GOD BLESS YOU.
