WELCOME TO THE THANK YOU SO

MUCH FOR JOINING US FOR CBN

NEWSWATCH. I AM EFRAM GRAHAM..

UNCLE SAM WANTS YOU IF YOU QUALIFY

FOR MILITARY SERVICE. A CRITICAL

CRITICAL RECRUITING CRISIS IS

UNDERWAY THAT PUTS AMERICA'S

NATIONAL SECURITY AT RISK.

UNFORTUNATELY, RECORD NUMBER

OF YOUNG PEOPLE ARE INELIGIBLE

TO SERVE. OTHERS HAVE NO DESIRE.

DESIRE. CAITLIN BURKE EXPLAINS

WHY AMERICA NEEDS TO RETURN TO

BEING A SOCIETY OF SERVICE.

Reporter: THE U.S. ARMY IS ON

ON TRACK TO HAVE ITS WORSE

RECRUITING YEARS SINCE VIETNAM.

A SHORTFALL THAT COULD HAVE

IMPLICATIONS FOR DECADES.

THIS COULD POTENTIALLY BE

MULTIGENERATIONAL IN TERMS OF

ITS IMPACT. YOUNG WORKERS TODAY

BECOME LEADERS OF TOMORROW. IF YOU

IF YOU CANNOT DEVELOP THEM

TODAY, YOU HAVE A GAP IN

LEADERSHIP TOMORROW.

Reporter: THEY ONLY REACHED

ABOUT 52% OF ITS RECRUITING GOAL

GOAL FOR THE CURRENT FISCAL

YEAR, WHICH ENDS LATER THIS

MONTH. OTHER BRANCHES ARE CLOSER

-- RETAINING TALENT IS A THEY ---

CHALLENGE ACROSS THE BOARD.

WE STILL HAVE OVER 1600 VACANCIES.

Reporter: MILITARY LEADERS

SAY MANY FACTORS CONTRIBUTE TO

THE SHORTAGE. THE PANDEMIC, THE

LABOR MARKET, EVEN COMPETITION

FROM THE PRIVATE SECTOR. THE

BIGGEST PROBLEM, HOWEVER, IS A

SHRINKING RECRUITMENT POOL. THE

EIGHT ELIGIBLE POPULATION, LESS

THAN A QUARTER EVEN QUALIFIED TO

TO SERVE.

IT HAS TO DO WITH

CRIMINALITY. YOU CANNOT

NECESSARILY PASS THE INITIAL

INTAKE TEST AND/OR MENTAL HEALTH

CONDITIONS AND PHYSICALITY AND

OBESITY.

I BELIEVE, AS A CULTURE, WE

NEED TO GET BACK TO A SOCIETY OF SERVICE

AND LOOK AT NATIONAL SERVICE.

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE IN UNIFORM

UNIFORM TO SERVE. YOU CAN BE IN

NATIONAL PARKS OR TUTORING OR

MEDICINE. HOW WE GET OUR

YOUNGEST FOLKS OFF THE COUCH AND

AND OFF THE VIDEO GAMES AND OUT

SERVING EACH OTHER AND LEARNING

THOSE LIFE SKILLS OF TEAMWORK, DISCIPLINE

TEAMWORK, DISCIPLINE AND MORE.

Reporter: THEY BELIEVE

STRONGER LEADERSHIP IS NEEDED

FROM THE PENTAGON, POINTING TO

ISSUES LIKE VACCINE MANDATES.

THE NATIONAL GUARD IS ON THE

VERGE OF POTENTIALLY KICKING

OUT, DISCHARGING 25,000 NATIONAL

NATIONAL GUARDSMEN AND WOMEN WHO

WHO HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT THE

VACCINE. I GET THE NOTION OF

SOLDIERS FOLLOWING AN ORDER, BUT

BUT ALSO, AS LEADERS, WE HAVE TO

TO CONSTANTLY REEVALUATE OUR

ORDERS AND DO THEY STILL MAKE

SENSE?

THE DIRECTOR OF VETERANS AND

MILITARY FAMILIES AT THE GEORGE W.

BUSH INSTITUTE SAYS ALL SECTORS

WORKING TOGETHER ARE NEEDED TO

SOLVE THIS CRISIS.

THIS IS NOT JUST A DEPARTMENT

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE CHALLENGE.

CHALLENGE. THIS IS A VETERANS

AFFAIR CHALLENGE. THIS IS A NONPROFIT

A NONPROFIT CHALLENGE AS WELL.

EVERYBODY NEEDS A SEAT AT THE

TABLE BECAUSE, REALLY, AT THE

CORE, WHAT YOU ARE DOING IS

ADVANCING OUR DEMOCRACY.

Reporter: HE POINTED OUT THE

BIDEN ADMINISTRATION STUDENT

DEBT RELIEF PROGRAM COULD BE

ANOTHER BLOW TO MILITARY

RECRUITING EFFORTS. ONE MAJOR

REWARD FOR SERVING IS A FREE

EDUCATION THROUGH THE G.I. BILL

AND WHILE THAT IS LESS OF AN

INCENTIVE IF THE GOVERNMENT IS

PUTTING PEOPLE THROUGH COLLEGE.

CAITLIN, YOUR REPORT MENTIONS

MENTIONS THE VACCINE MANDATES.

HOW ELSE HAS BEEN AFFECTED

RECRUITMENT?

RECRUITERS BASICALLY LOST TWO

TWO YEARS WORKING IN THE SCHOOL

SYSTEM WHEN THE PANDEMIC SHUT

EVERYTHING DOWN. THAT

FACE-TO-FACE CONTACT WITH YOUNG

PEOPLE WAS IMPORTANT FOR

RECRUITING AND IN SOME PLACES,

COVID RESTRICTIONS ARE STILL IN

EFFECT ON OUTSIDERS LIKE

MILITARY RECRUITERS. THEY ARE

NOT ABLE TO GO INTO SCHOOLS OR

EVEN ATTEND EVENTS. THE JOB

MARKET ALSO GOT A LOT MORE

COMPETITIVE DURING THE PANDEMIC, SO

THE PRIVATE SECTOR IS RECRUITING

RECRUITING QUALITY WORKERS JUST

AS HEAVILY AS A MILITARY. IN AN

EFFORT TO TIP THE SCALES, THE

ARMY IS OFFERING BONUSES OF AS

MUCH AS $50,000 FOR A SIX YEAR COMMITMENT

YEAR COMMITMENT TO CERTAIN HIGH

DEMAND POSITIONS.

HOW MUCH IS THE AFGHANISTAN

WITHDRAWAL ALSO AFFECTING

RECRUITMENT? I LIVE IN A

MILITARY TOWN. WE HAVE EVERY ONE

ONE OF THE SERVICES, AIR FORCE,

ARMY, MARINE CORPS, NAVY, COAST

GUARD. THERE SEEMS TO BE

LINGERING DISSATISFACTION,

PARTICULARLY AMONG THOSE WHO

SPENT MULTIPLE TOURS OF DUTY IN

AFGHANISTAN. THEY ARE GOING,

WHAT WAS IT FOR? THE TALIBAN IS

BACK IN CHARGE. IS THAT HAVING

AN IMPACT?

THERE IS SPECULATION THAT IT

IS. THERE IS NOTHING SOLID

PEOPLE CAN POINT TO AND

LAWMAKERS ARE TRYING TO GET TO

THE BOTTOM OF WHAT IS GOING ON.

THERE IS SOME QUESTION THE

PERCEPTION OF THE MILITARY AND

ITS LEADERSHIP TOOK A HIT

BECAUSE OF THE AFGHAN WITHDRAWAL

WITHDRAWAL AND HOW IT ALL WENT.

IT ALSO COULD HAVE HURT

ATTAINMENT. ALL BRANCHES ARE

REALLY FOCUSING ON RETAINING

PEOPLE RIGHT NOW DURING A HEARING

A HEARING. A TOP OFFICIAL IN THE MARINES

SAID THEY ARE REALLY STRUGGLING

WITH RECRUITING. THEY ARE FULLY

FOCUSED ON ATTAINMENT AND THAT

SEEMS TO BE A STRUGGLE AND THAT

COULD HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH

THE AFGHAN WITHDRAWAL.

THANK YOU FOR THE REPORT. >

HURRICANE FIONA IS GAINING

STRENGTH. THE STORM IS BEARING

DOWN ON A POPULAR TOURIST

DESTINATION. EFREM GRAHAM HAS

CBN NEWSROOM. MORE FROM THE CBN-

THEY HAVE ABOUT 57,000

RESIDENTS. IT PASSED OVER THE

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC MONDAY, DESTROYING

HOMES AND LEAVING SOME

COMMUNITIES WITHOUT POWER.

THE CHILDREN WERE IN FEAR.

Reporter: FIONA DID

WIDESPREAD DAMAGE AS UP TO 30

INCHES OF RAIN CAUSED MASSIVE FLOODING.

RESCUE CREWS PULLED MORE THAN

1000 PEOPLE TO SAFETY. AT LEAST

ONE PERSON DIED IN THE STORM.

MOST OF THE ISLAND IS STILL

WITHOUT POWER AND NOT EXPECTED

TO GET IT BACK FOR DAYS. ABOUT

TWO THIRDS OF THE PEOPLE ARE

WITHOUT WATER. PRESIDENT JOE

BIDEN PLEDGED FEMA SUPPORT AND

SAID WORKERS ARE ALREADY HELPING

HELPING WITH RESPONSE AND

RECOVERY. >

CONGRESS IS LOOKING TO PROCESS

TO PROCESS CERTIFYING THE

ELECTION. THE BILL IS A RESPONSE

RESPONSE TO JANUARY 6th AND

EFFORTS BY SOME LAWMAKERS TO

CHALLENGE ELECTORAL VOTES IN THE

THE 2024 ELECTION. IT CENTERS ON

ON OVERHAULING THE ELECTORAL

COUNT ACT BY CLEARLY DEFINING

THE VICE PRESIDENT'S ROLE AS

SIMPLY MINISTERIAL. IT ALSO

RAISES THE NUMBER OF LAWMAKERS

NEEDED TO OBJECT TO ELECTIONS TO

TO ONE THIRD OF THE HOUSE AND

THE SENATE. THE HOUSE IS EXPECTED

TO VOTE ON THE BILL THIS WEEK. >

GOD AND POLITICS. THAT IS THE

THE THEME OF THE NEXT FILM IN

THE GODS NOT DEAD FRANCHISE. WE

WERE THERE FOR THE ANNOUNCEMENT.

ANNOUNCEMENT.

IF YOU ARE A FAN OF THIS

SERIES, GOOD NEWS. A FIFTH MOVIE

MOVIE IS SLATED FOR 2023.

SEVERAL STARS FROM THE

FRANCHISE, INCLUDING DEAN CAIN

AND ISAIAH WASHINGTON AND COREY

OLIVER HIT THE RED CARPET IN LA

FOR THE BIG ANNOUNCEMENT.

GOD IS NOT DEAD.

THIS PRODUCER AND ACTOR SAYS

THE FIFTH INSTALLMENT ASKED THE

QUESTION, IS GOD DEAD IN

POLITICS?

IS THAT IS A QUESTION ALL OF

US ARE ASKING AND THIS MOVIE

WILL TACKLE A LOT OF THOSE

THINGS. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN

AMAZED TO SEE HOW THE MOVIES

REMAIN A HIT. IT IS A VERY

RELEVANT TIME. EVERY TIME BEFORE

BEFORE ONE OF THESE MOVIES, WE

PRAY ABOUT WHAT IT IS THE LORD

WANTS US TO DO WITH IT. WHERE IS

IS IT SUPPOSED TO GO?

COREY OLIVER IS EXCITED ABOUT

ABOUT RETURNING FOR NUMBER FIVE.

FIVE.

I JUST SAID, YES. I THINK

THIS IS BECAUSE IT CHANGED MY

LIFE IN SO MANY WAYS. I HAVE

ALWAYS BEEN A BELIEVER, BUT --

YOU KNOW, GOD, IN HIS INFINITE

WAY, SHOWS OFF. YOU KNOW? SO, IT

IT WAS ABOUT GOD, NOT ME.

Reporter: DEAN CAIN OF

SUPERMAN FAME IS BACK, AND SO IS

IS HIS BAD BOY CHARACTER.

I AM EXCITED TO SEE WHAT MY

CHARACTER HAS BEEN UP TOO. HE

WAS UP TO NO GOOD IN THE FIRST

ONE. I THINK HE'S THE ONLY

CHARACTER -- IT WILL BE

INTERESTING TO SEE WHERE HE GOES

GOES FROM HERE.

Reporter: ISAIAH WASHINGTON

WILL ALSO RESUME HIS ROLE AS

CONGRESSMAN DARRELL SMITH.

HE IS BRINGING THAT ENERGY

BACK.

HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE A PART

PART OF THIS FRANCHISE AND TO

SEE IT GROWING?

IT IS EXCITING HE IS IN THE

MIDDLE OF HIS CAREER. IT IS

EXCITING TO WORK WITH

INNOVATORS.

IF YOU WANT TO CATCH UP ON

THE FRANCHISE, ALL FOUR GOD'S

NOT DEAD MOVIES ARE STREAMING

ON PURE FLIX. >

HARD TO BELIEVE WE HAVE

REACHED NUMBER FIVE.

WELCOME IT IS TIME FOR GOD TO

TO GET BACK INTO WASHINGTON.

THAT WOULD BE WONDERFUL. WE

WOULD APPRECIATE THAT. THE

SENATE CHAPLAIN IS DEFINITELY

PRAYING FOR IT.

MANY OF US ARE. UP NEXT, HE

HAS BEEN A LAWYER FOR CRIMINALS

LIKE OJ SIMPSON AND JEFFREY

EPSTEIN. THEN HE GOT CANCELED

DEFENDING SOMEONE ELSE. ALAN

DERSHOWITZ TELLS US WHO CAUSED

HIM TO GET BLACKLISTED. >

THE LONG ARM OF CANCEL

THE LONG ARM OF CANCEL

CULTURES REACHING BEYOND CONSERVATIVES.

BEYOND CONSERVATIVES. ALAN

DERSHOWITZ HAS FELT THE FULL

FORCE. HE PAID A HIGH PRICE FOR

DEFENDING FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP

TRUMP AND FOR CALLING OUT THE

POLITICAL LEFT. GARY LANE SPOKE

WITH HIM ABOUT THE CONSEQUENCES

OF CHOOSING PRINCIPAL OVER PARTISANSHIP.

OVER PARTISANSHIP.

Reporter: ALAN DERSHOWITZ IS

KNOWN AS A DEFENDER OF NOTORIOUS NEWSMAKER S,

INCLUDING O.J. SIMPSON AND

JEFFREY EPSTEIN. BUT IT IS

ANOTHER CLIENT THAT CAUSED

PROMINENT LIBERALS, FRIENDS, AND

AND EVEN SOME FAMILY MEMBERS TO

REJECT HIM -- THE NOTED LAWYER'S

LAWYER'S DEFENSE OF PRESIDENT

DONALD TRUMP DURING IMPEACHMENT.

IMPEACHMENT.

THE CONSTITUTION PROVIDES

ONLY FOUR GROUNDS FOR

IMPEACHMENT, TREASON, BRIBERY,

OR OTHER HIGH CRIMES AND

MISDEMEANORS. THEY DID NOT

CHARGE HIM WITH THAT. THEY DID

NOT CHARGE HIM WITH ANY KIND OF

CRIMINAL TYPE BEHAVIOR. THEY

CHARGED HIM WITH ABUSE OF POWER

AND OBSTRUCTION OF CONGRESS THAT

THAT ARE UNCONSTITUTIONAL. OF

COURSE, I WOULD DEFEND HIM.

Reporter: FOR THAT, HE SAYS

HE HAS PAID A HIGH PRICE. HE DETAILS

THE EXPERIENCE IN HIS LATEST

BOOK, HIS 50th, PUBLIC

BROADCASTER KAN -- THE PRICE

OF PRINCIPLE: WHY INTEGRITY IS

WORTH THE CONSEQUENCES . HE

WRITES THAT TODAY IN AMERICA,

PARTISAN ADVOCACY MASQUERADES AS

AS PRINCIPLED ARGUMENT. HE

CONTENDS HYPOCRISY AND A

FAR-LEFT AGENDA ELEVATE IDENTITY

IDENTITY OVER PRINCIPLE. ONCE

ACCEPTED BY HIS COMMUNITY, THE

FORMER HARVARD LAW PROFESSOR IS

NOT GETTING INVITATIONS TO

RETURN TO VENUES LIKE NEW YORK'S

YORK'S TEMPLE EMANUEL AND THE

92nd STREET YMCA. EVEN SAYS THE

THE FREIBURG LIBRARY HAS BANNED

HIS BOOKS AND HE IS NO LONGER

WELCOME AND MOST SOCIAL

GATHERINGS

IT HAS BEEN BOTH PERSONAL AND INSTITUTI ONAL.

AND INSTITUTIONAL. PERSONAL. I

WAS SEATED NEXT TO CAROLINE

KENNEDY, THE DAUGHTER OF THE

FORMER PRESIDENT COME AT A DINNER

PARTY. SHE SAID, IF I KNEW YOU

HAD BEEN INVITED, I WOULD NOT

HAVE COME. THIS IS THE

AMBASSADOR TO AUSTRALIA, WHO IS

SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO BE IN THE

THE SAME ROOM WITH LEADERS OF

FOREIGN COUNTRIES, WHO WILL NOT

BE IN THE SAME ROOM WITH A MAN

WHO SHOWED A PROFILE AND

CHARACTER, TO PARAPHRASE HER

FATHER'S BOOK.

Reporter: FRIENDS AND ABUNDANCES

HAVE ALSO REJECTED HIS FAMILY

MEMBERS.

MY WIFE WORKED OUT IN A GYM AND

SOMEONE WALKED IN AND SAID, OH,

THAT IS ALAN DERSHOWITZ'S WIFE.

WE CANNOT BE IN THE SAME ROOM

WITH THAT PERSON. LARRY DAVID

CAME OVER TO ME WHILE I WAS

TRYING TO HAVE LUNCH AND HE

STARTED SCREAMING, YOU ARE

DISGUSTING. I PATTED MIKE POMPEO

POMPEO ON THE BACK. HE IS MY

FORMER STUDENT AND I WAS

CONGRATULATING HIM FOR THE

ABRAHAM ACCORDS.

HE SAYS SEVERAL LAWYERS HAVE

SHARE THEY WILL NOT DEFEND

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP BECAUSE

THEY DO NOT WANT TO BE

DERSHOWITZED AND DO NOT WANT TO

BE TREATED LIKE HIM. DESPITE THE

THE REJECTION, HE STILL DEFENDS

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP WHEN

WARRANTED. ALTHOUGH HE BELIEVES

THE FEDS HAVE THE EVIDENCE TO

INDICT TRUMP FOR POSSESSING

CLASSIFIED U.S. GOVERNMENT

DOCUMENTS, HE PREDICTS THE

FORMER PRESIDET WILL NOT BE

INDICTED. HOW ABOUT THE RECENT

RATE ON PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP'S

TRUMP'S MAR-A-LAGO HOME AND THE

SEARCH FOR AND SEIZURE OF

CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS. WAS THAT

JUSTIFIED OR LEGAL?

IT WAS NOT. THEY SHOULD HAVE

PERSISTED ON THEIR SUBPOENA. THEY

ENFORCED -- INSTEAD, THEY

DECIDED TO ENGAGE IN A VERY

WIDESPREAD SEARCH, WHICH ALSO

INVOLVES THE SEIZURE OF NOT ONLY

ONLY CLASSIFIED MATERIAL, BUT

LAWYER CLIENT PRIVILEGE

MATERIAL, EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE MATERIAL,

AND PROBABLY DECLASSIFIED

MATERIAL.

Reporter: HE SAYS THAT MEANS

JUSTICE TO HARTMAN LAWYERS ARE

NOW EXAMINING TRUMP'S PRIVATE

INFORMATION.

IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAVE ONE

OF THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT

LAWYERS READ AN EMAIL THAT SAID

"LAWYER CLIENT PRIVILEGE" AND

CONFIDENTIAL. IT HAD SOME REALLY JUICY

STUFF ABOUT TRUMP THAT WOULD

DESTROY HIS CHANCE OF EVER

WINNING THE PRESIDENCY AGAIN.

YOU THINK THAT WOULD NOT GET

LEAKED? DOES ANYBODY IN THE

WORLD BELIEVE THAT WOULD REMAIN

CONFIDENTIAL?

Reporter: ALTHOUGH HE FEELS

LIKE HIS RIGHTS HAVE BEEN

VIOLATED, THAT WILL NOT LEAD

THEM TO VOTE FOR TRUMP IF HE

RECEIVES THE REPUBLICAN

NOMINATION. INSTEAD, HE WOULD

VOTE FOR PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN

AGAIN.

I WAS A STRONG SUPPORTER OF BIDEN

BECAUSE I THOUGHT HE COULD HELP

UNITE THE COUNTRY. HE IS A

COMPROMISER BY NATURE. IT HAS

NOT HAPPENED. I HAVE BEEN A

LITTLE DISAPPOINTED. I'M STILL

GOING TO VOTE FOR HIM AGAIN IF

HE RUNS AND IS HEALTHY, BUT,

NONETHELESS, I AM DISAPPOINTED

THAT HE HAS NOT DONE A BETTER

JOB IN UNITING THE COUNTRY.

Reporter: THAT DISAPPOINTMENT

THAT DISAPPOINTMENT LEADS TO A

DEEP CONCERN WHETHER AMERICA CAN

CAN OVERCOME ITS BITTER PARTISAN

PARTISAN DIVIDE AND RETURN TO

NATIONAL UNITY.

THIS IS PROBABLY PERHAPS THE

WORST THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN. THE

THE DANGER IS THE HARD LEFT IS

SO INTOLERANT AND SO

TOTALITARIAN IN ITS MIND-SET,

AND THEY ARE THE TEACHERS OF OUR

OF OUR FUTURE LEADERS. SO, I

WORRY MUCH MORE ABOUT THE

TOTALITARIAN MIND-SET OF THE

HARD LEFT THAN I DO ABOUT THE

TOTALITY AND TOTALITARIAN

MIND-SET OF THE HARD RIGHT. WE

HAVE BEEN THROUGH THIS BEFORE

DURING THE McCARTHY PERIOD,

DURING THE VIETNAM PERIOD, AND

WE HAVE GONE BACK.

Reporter: FOR HIM, IT MAY

TAKE MORE CRITICAL THINKERS,

PEOPLE OF INTEGRITY, AND

AMERICANS CHOOSING PRINCIPAL

OVER PARTISANSHIP. GARY LANE,

CBN NEWS.

IT MEANS WE NEED TO RETURN TO

TO WHAT IS CALLED LIBERAL PRINCIPLES

LIBERAL PRINCIPLES AND WE NEED A

NEED A LIBERAL EDUCATION AND

THAT MEANS YOU ARE OPEN TO ALL

POINTS OF VIEW AND YOU RESPECT

PEOPLE'S OPINION. YOU ALLOW THEM

THEM TO EXPRESS THEIR OPINION

AND THEN, IN THE MARKETPLACE OF

IDEAS, YOU ALLOW THE BEST IDEAS

TO SURFACE. THAT IS THE WHOLE

POINT OF FREE SPEECH. THAT IS

THE WHOLE POINT OF FREEDOM OF

ASSEMBLY, BUT WE ARE SEEING A

CULTURE NOW THAT IS RADICALLY

POLARIZED ON BOTH SIDES. WHEN

YOU LOOK AT WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO

TO ALAN DERSHOWITZ, IT IS ODDLY

SIMILAR TO THE STRUGGLE SESSIONS

SESSIONS OF CHINA, WHERE PEOPLE

WOULD BE STRUGGLING AND SHUNNED AND

PARADED INTO THE STREET AND

REEDUCATION -- ALL OF THESE

BIZARRE THINGS THAT HAPPENED WHEN

HAPPENED WHEN YOU EMBRACE AN

IDEOLOGY SO MUCH THAT ANYONE

THAT IS NOT PART OF YOUR

IDEOLOGY IS SUDDENLY AN ENEMY OF

OF THE STATE. WE HAVE SEEN A

SITTING PRESIDENT CONDEMN AN

ENTIRE -- HALF THE NATION JUST

BECAUSE OF HOW THEY VOTED. NOW,

ON THE RIGHT, WHO WANTS TO GO

BACK TO THE McCARTHY ERA AND ARE

ARE YOU A FELLOW TRAVELER AND

ALL OF THOSE KINDS OF THINGS?

WHO WANTS TO GO BACK TO SOME

KIND OF DISORDER, WHERE IF YOU

DO NOT AGREE WITH A PARTICULAR

ELECTION RESULTS, YOU TRY TO

OVERTHROW IT. THIS IS NOT UNIQUE

UNIQUE TO JUST TRUMP SUPPORTERS.

SUPPORTERS. YOU JUST HAVE TO GO

BACK SIX YEARS. WHO IS THE FIRST

FIRST ONE TO EVER SAY THAT MY

ELECTION GOT STOLEN? IT WAS

HILLARY CLINTON WHO SAID THAT.

SHE SAID IT IN 2016. LET US

PLEASE STOP THIS. LET'S COME

TOGETHER AND SAY, ELECTIONS

REALLY DO MATTER. LET'S ABIDE BY

BY THEM AND RESPECT THEM. LET'S

RESPECT THE OTHER SIDE. IF THEY

HAVE AN OPINION DIFFERENT FROM

OURS, OKAY. LET'S TRY TO FIND

SOME KIND OF MIDDLE GROUND

BECAUSE THAT IS ULTIMATELY HOW

YOU GO RUN A COUNTRY. AGAIN, IT

IS A RETURN TO LIBERAL

PRINCIPLES, WHERE YOU HAVE

FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND FREEDOM OF

OF ASSEMBLY AND YOU ARE NOT

BEING JUDGED BY HOW YOU VOTE OR

THE POLITICAL PERSUASION YOU

HAVE. YOUR BEING JUDGED THAT YOU

YOU ARE AN AMERICAN CITIZEN AND

YOU HAVE THE SAME RIGHTS THAT WE

WE ALL NEED TO CHERISH. ALAN

DERSHOWITZ HAS A BOOK CALLED

THE PRICE OF PRINCIPLE: WHY

INTEGRITY IS WORTH THE

CONSEQUENCES AND IT IS AVAILABLE

AVAILABLE NATIONWIDE. >

UP NEXT, A SHOPAHOLIC WHO

SPENT 40% OF HER PAYCHECK ON

CREDIT CARD BILLS. THAT WAS ONLY

ONLY COVERING THE INTEREST. HEAR

HAD WITH GOD ABOUT HER DAD AND FIND

OUT HOW SHE GOT BACK IN THE

BLACK. >

A REMOTE VILLAGE GET

FRESHWATER FOR THE FIRST TIME IN

IN GENERATIONS. SEE HOW YOU MADE

MADE THAT HAPPEN. IT IS COMING

UP.

SHE SPENT HER CAREER STOPPING

BAD GUYS. TO COPE WITH THE

PRESSURE, SHE BECAME A SHOPPING ADDICTS.

OVER THE YEARS, HER BILLS ADDED

UP AND AS SHE GOT CLOSER TO

RETIREMENT, PAM FEARED SHE WOULD

WOULD NEVER GET OUT OF DEBT.

Reporter: RETIRED POLICE

CAPTAIN PEN CODE DEDICATED HER

LIFE TO PUBLIC SAFETY BY SERVING

SERVING 27 YEARS. THE SINGLE

MOTHER OF TWO SERVED MOST OF HER

OF HER CAREER, INVESTIGATING

SEXUAL ASSAULT AND CHILD ABUSE

CRIMES.

I RAN INTO A CHILD VICTIM WHO

WHO HAD BEEN REMOVED FROM A VERY

VERY BAD SITUATION. SHE WAS IN A

A SAFE HOUSE AND CAME UP AND

GAVE ME A HUG. THAT MADE IT ALL

WORTHWHILE.

IN 2010, HER MOM SUFFERED A

STROKE, SO SHE TOOK OVER AS HER

LIVE IN CARETAKER.

I WAS HOME A LOT. TO

ALLEVIATE THE BOREDOM, I STARTED

STARTED SHOPPING ONLINE. I WAS A

A SHOPPING ADDICTS. THAT WAS MY GOAL-TO.

MY GOAL-TO. I FOUND MYSELF NOT

BEING ABLE TO HAVE MUCH OF A

SOCIAL LIFE.

MY SYSTEM FROM CALIFORNIA

WOULD COME OVER AND GIVE ME A

REPRIEVE FROM TAKING CARE OF MY

MOTHER AND MY YOUNGEST DAUGHTER

AND I WOULD TYPICALLY GO ON

LITTLE VACATIONS. MY MOM WOULD

HELP OUT WITH PAYING FOR THE

TRAVEL EXPENSES, BUT I WOULD

CONTINUE TO SHOP, EVEN WHEN I

WAS ON VACATION, AND PURCHASE

EXTRAVAGANT THINGS FOR MY

DAUGHTER. SO, THOSE CREDIT CARDS

CARDS CONTINUED TO MAINTAIN A

HIGH BALANCE, AND THEN I STARTED

STARTED USING MY CREDIT CARDS TO

TO HELP OFFSET SOME OF MY BILLS.

BILLS. THAT ADDS UP. XI

JINPING'S HE WAS PROMOTED TO

LIEUTENANT WITH AN INCREASE IN

PAY. SHE DIALED BACK HER

SPENDING TO PURCHASE A HOME.

WHEN I REALIZE I CAN AFFORD

THE HOME AND MORTGAGE PAYMENTS,

THEN I CONTINUED WITH MY SPENDING.

IT WAS AT LEAST 40% OF MY CHECK

GOING TOWARDS MY CREDIT CARDS. I

I WAS JUST BARELY SCRATCHING THE

THE SURFACE, JUST PAYING THE

INTEREST. AND I NEVER PRAYED TO

GOD TO ASK FOR HELP BECAUSE I

DID NOT THINK I HAD A PROBLEM.

AROUND THAT TIME, PAM

RELOCATED HER LIFE TO CHRIST AND

CHRIST AND STARTED GOING BACK TO

TO CHURCH. SHE GAVE A LITTLE SHE

SHE HAD LEFT IN THE OFFERING.

I FELT LIKE I WAS LETTING GOD

GOD DOWN BY NOT TYPING BECAUSE I

I WAS NOW MAKING A VERY GOOD

INCOME. AND I WAS CONSUMED WITH

GUILT THAT I COULD NOT TITHE,

YET I COULD NOT STOP SPENDING.

LATER, AS YOU NEAR

RETIREMENT, PAM CALCULATED A

BUDGET BASED ON HER PENSION

INCOME VERSUS HER EXPENSES.

$20,000 IN CREDIT CARD DEBT LEFT

LEFT NO MARGIN FOR HER BUDGET.

I HAD A LONG CONVERSATION

WITH SCOTT AND I SAID, GOD, I

THINK THIS MIGHT BE MY CHANCE TO

TO BE ABLE TO TITHE LIKE I HAVE

WANTED TO, LIKE I KNOW I NEED TO

TO DO. LEASE FORGIVE ME FOR MY

SELFISHNESS. BECAUSE I WAS SO

SELFISH ALL THOSE YEARS TO

PURCHASE THINGS FOR MYSELF THAT

I DID NOT NEED WHEN I COULD HAVE

HAVE BEEN HELPING SO MANY OTHER

PEOPLE IN NEED.

WHEN SHE RETIRED IN AUGUST

2020, SHE PAID OFF ALL HER

CREDIT CARD DEBT WITH HER

DEFERRED COMP TIME FUNDS. SHE

STARTED TYPING AS HER FIRST

BUDGET PRIORITY.

AND HE WORKS MIRACLES. HE

DOES. I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD BE

WOULD BE OUT OF DEBT, EVER. I

THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE SOMETHING

I WOULD CARRY TO MY GRAVE.

NOW, CREDIT DEBT FREE AND

SPENDING WITHIN HER BUDGET, SHE

DISCOVERED MORE WEIGHT TO GIVE

TO GOD'S WORK. SHE FOUND THE

ALL ABOUT AND THEY HELP PEOPLE

DRINKING WATER THAT WE TAKE FOR GRANTED.

FOR GRANTED. I WANT TO HELP

CLEAN DRINKING WATER. SO, THAT IS

WHEN I STARTED GIVING REGULARLY

BETTER ORGANIZATION TO GIVE TO.

I JUST FEEL IF YOU GIVE AND HELP

HELP THE POOR, THAT GOD WILL, IN

IN TURN, RICHLY BLESS YOU. THAT

IS WHAT GOD WANTS US TO DO. HE

WANTS US TO REACH OUT AND HELP

OTHERS. I FEEL THAT IS OUR PURPOSE.

OUR PURPOSE.

OUR PURPOSE. I WAS RAISED WITH A

A PURPOSE OF MONEY IS TO HELP

IF YOU HELP THE POOR, YOU ARE

LENDING TO THE LORD AND HE WILL

REPAY YOU. PAM FINALLY GOT IT.

HERE SHE IS, WORKING AND

SPENDING, SPENDING ABOVE HER

MEANS. NOT LIVING WITHIN HER

INCOME. SHE IS ACCUMULATING A

MOUNTAIN OF DEBT AND THEN SHE

GETS THE IDEA, WELL, THIS IS NOT THE

WAY OUT. THE WAY OUT IS TO LIVE

TELLS YOU TO DO. THAT WILL BRING

BRING YOU DEEP SATISFACTION,

SOMETHING THAT BINGE BUYING WILL

SATISFY YOU. WHEN YOU LAND TO

LOCATIONS, LIKE IN PERU. FARMERS

FARMERS IN ONE VILLAGE NOW HAVE

A SOURCE OF CLEAN WATER AND IT

IS ALL BECAUSE OF YOU.

ABRAHAM AND HIS MOM LIVE IN

THE MOUNTAINS OF PERU MORE THAN

13,000 FEET ABOVE SEA LEVEL.

ABRAHAM IS A BIG HELP TO HIS

MOM.

I HELP COLLECT WATER. I

HEALTH CARE FOR THE SHEEP.

THE GREATEST NEED FOR HIM AND

AND OTHERS HAS BEEN CLEAN WATER.

WATER. FOR GENERATIONS, THEY GOT

GOT WATER FROM TWO SOURCES, A

POND, WHICH COLLECTS WATER

DURING THE RAINY SEASON, AND AN

OPEN PIT SHALLOW WELL, WHICH IS

MORE CONTAMINATED THAN THE POND.

POND.

THE WATER IS DIRTY AND FULL

OF INSECTS. EVEN THE COW AND --

COLLECTING WATER HAS BEEN A

CHALLENGE.

WE HAVE TO CARRY LARGE

BUCKETS ON OUR BACKS. THEY ARE

REALLY HAPPY. IT TAKES US THREE

HOURS TO GET WATER EVERY TIME WE

WE GO TO COLLECT IT.

YOU REGULARLY GOT SICK FROM

DRINKING BAD WATER.

SOMETIMES, I GOT A HEADACHE,

FEVER, DIARRHEA, AND STOMACH

ACHES. I WOULD GET SICK FOR A

WHOLE WEEK. I FELT BAD BECAUSE

THEN MY MOM HAD TO DO ALL THE

WORK ALONE.

THEN OPERATION BLESSING CAME

TO THE COMMUNITY WITH A PLAN.

FIRST, WE DUG A NEW WELL WITH

CONCRETE WALLS. THEN WE ADDED

PIPES AND A STORAGE TANK WITH

CHLORINE TO PURIFY THE WATER.

FINALLY, WE RAN PIPES FROM THE

TANK TO HOMES IN THE COMMUNITY,

INCLUDING ABRAHAMS.

I WAS HAPPY WHEN I SAW THAT

WATER PROJECT. I KNEW WE WOULD

BE ABLE TO FILL THE TROUGH AND

GORDON AND TERRY ARE BACK WITH

MORE OF TODAY'S THANK YOU SO

MUCH FOR JOINING US FOR CBN

NEWSWATCH. I AM EFRAM GRAHAM.,

COMING UP RIGHT AFTER THIS.

HE HAD THE CASH, THE CARS,

THE CLOTHES, AND THE WOMEN. TONY ALSO

HAD A TEAM OF FEDERAL AGENTS

WAITING FOR A CHANCE TO TAKE HIM DOWN.

AS A KID -- THAT IS THE MOST

EXCITING THING. I REMEMBER

WAITING OUTSIDE. MY MOTHER

TELLING ME, COME IN AND EAT,

SON. HE NEVER CAME. HE LIED TO ME.

TO ME. AS A KID, THAT KIND OF

HURT.

THE PAIN OF THAT REJECTION

GREW INTO ANGER.

I COULD NOT DEAL WITH NOBODY

SAYING THAT TO ME. I WAS

FIGHTING IN SCHOOL EVERY DAY,

EVEN AT THE LUNCH ROOM TABLE.

THAT IS HOW I DEALT WITH MY

EMOTIONS.

HIS HARD-WORKING MOM TRY TO

STEER HIM THE RIGHT WAY BY

MAKING SURE HE WAS IN CHURCH BUT

CHURCH BUT HE COULD NOT GRASP

THE IDEA OF A LOVING GOD.

I DID NOT KNOW NOTHING ABOUT

GOD I JUST THOUGHT THE PEOPLE IN CHURCH

WAS FAKING AND RUNNING AROUND

WITH THEIR HANDS UP. I DID NOT

KNOW HE LOVED ME AND CARED FOR

ME NO MATTER WHAT AND WANTED ME

TO COME CLOSER TO HIM AND TO BE

A PART OF HIS LIFE.

DESPITE HIS MOM'S EFFORTS, HE

HE WOULD ENTER A LIFE OF CRIME.

AT 10, HE WAS SELLING CANDY TO

SELL AT SCHOOL. LATER, HE STOLE

FROM STORES AND HOMES.

I HAD NO CONSCIOUS AS FAR AS

DEALING. I DID IT LIKE IT WAS A

NATURAL THING TO DO. I ALWAYS

THOUGHT I WOULD BE ABLE TO

OUTSMART, YOU KNOW, THE

AUTHORITIES.

AFTER GRADUATING FROM HIGH SCHOOL,

HE STARTED SELLING DRUGS. SOON,

HE WAS LIVING THE PARTY

LIFESTYLE OF A SUCCESSFUL DRUG

DEALER.

IT MADE ME FEEL POWERFUL. I

WENT TO CANCUN, YOU KNOW, AT 19. WE

HAD OUR OWN APARTMENT AT 19. WE

OWNED CARS, PARTYING, GIRLS -- I

I JUST -- I FELT POWERFUL.

DEALING DRUGS WAS A DANGEROUS

DANGEROUS WORLD, BUT OVER THE

NEXT DECADE, HE WOULD MAKE

MILLIONS. HE ENJOYED A LAVISH

LIFE FILLED WITH NICE HOMES,

CARS, AND WORLD TRAVEL. HE GAVE

LITTLE THOUGHT TO ANYONE BUT

HIMSELF.

I FELT IMPORTANT. I FELT LIKE SUPERMAN.

LIKE SUPERMAN. I FELT ON TOP OF

THE WORLD. I FELT THAT, YOU KNOW,

ANYTHING I COULD DO, I COULD DO.

DO. NOBODY COULD TELL ME I CAN'T

CAN'T DO NOTHING. I WAS COCKY

AND ARROGANT. I REMEMBER ASKING

THIS FEMALE, HOW DO YOU FEEL? I

PERSONALLY FELT PERFECT.

Reporter: AS MORE YEARS

PASSED, HE GREW PARANOID ABOUT

GETTING CAUGHT AND DECIDED HE

WANTED OUT. ABOUT THE SAME TIME,

TIME, HIS GIRLFRIEND, NATOSHA,

BECAME PREGNANT. TONY WANTED TO

BE THERE FOR HIS CHILD SINCE HIS

HIS OWN DAD WAS NOT THERE FOR HIM.

FOR HIM.

HE WAS REALLY INTO FAMILY AND I

PICKED UP ON THAT A LOT. HE OFTEN

WOULD TALK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHAT IT

WOULD BE LIKE WHENEVER HE HAD A CHILD.

I REALLY LOVE THAT ABOUT HIM.

THE PROBLEM WAS HE FELT TRAPPED.

THE PROBLEM WAS HE FELT TRAPPED.

THE PROBLEM WAS HE FELT TRAPPED.

THE PROBLEM WAS HE FELT TRAPPED.
