WELCOME TO THE 700 CLUB.

WITH THE FORMER PRESIDENT

CHARGED WITH MULTIPLE CRIMES

AND THE CURRENT PRESIDENT'S SON

ALSO UNDER INDICTMENT, ATTORNEY

GENERAL MERRICK GARLAND FACED

THE HOUSE JUDICIARY WITH A HOST

OF QUESTIONS TO ANSWER.

REPUBLICANS GRILLED GARLAND

ON CLAIMS OF BIAS AT THE

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE.

IN TURN THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

DOUBLED DOWN.

CBN'S HILLARY POWELL REPORTS

FROM CAPITOL HILL ON THE FACE

OFF.

THERE ARE A LOT OF SPICY

BACK AND FORTH CLAP BACKS

BETWEEN ATTORNEY GENERAL

MERRICK GARLAND AND THE

JUDICIARY COMMITTEE.

THIS IS A ROUTINE BUT WE'RE

SEEING THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

FACE TO FACE WITH OF HIS MOST

ARDENT CRITICS.

REPUBLICANS ARE USING THIS AS

AN OPPORTUNE ITY TO REALLY

GRILL THE ATTORNEY GENERAL ON

WHETHER THERE'S FAIRNESS OR

BIAS IN THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT

UNDER PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN.

IN A HIGH STAKES HEARING

BEFORE THE HOUSE JUDICIARY

COMMITTEE, REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS

QUESTIONED ATTORNEY GENERAL

MERRICK GARLAND PLEDGE TO

REMAIN ABOVE POLITICS.

GARLAND WAS ON THE DEFENSIVE.

OUR JOB IS NOT TO TAKE

ORDERS FROM THE PRESIDENT, FROM

CONGRESS OR FROM ANYONE ELSE

ABOUT WHO OR WHAT THE

CRIMINALLY INVESTIGATE AS THE

PRESIDENT HIMSELF HAS SAID AND

I REAFFIRM TODAY I NOT THE

PRESIDENT'S LAWYER.

GARLAND WAS GRILLED ABOUT

HIS DEPARTMENT'S HANDLING OF

PROBES AND PROSECUTIONS OF

FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP

AND PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN'S SON

HUNTER BIDEN ON FELONY CHARGES.

SPECIAL COUNSEL DAVID WEISS

LEADS THAT INVESTIGATION.

HE PICKS THE ONE GUY THE ONE

GUY HE KNOWS WILL PROTECT JOE

BIDEN.

DEMOCRATS ON THE COMMITTEE

DEFEND THE DOJ NOTING DONALD

TRUMP NOMINATED U.S. ATTORNEY

DAVID WEISS YOUR DECISION WAS

TO LEAD THE TRUMP APPOINTED

ATTORNEY COMPLETELY IN CHARGE

OF THIS HANDS FROM YOU.

HE MAKES ALL THE CALLS

INTERFERENCE FROM THE ATTORNEY

GENERAL.

IS THAT CORRECT?

THAT IS.

THE PRESIDENT'S SON WAS

INDICTED LAST WEEK ON THREE

FELONY FEDERAL GUN CHARGES

ACCUSED OF LYING ABOUT HIS

ABUSE TO BUY A HANDGUN IN 2018.

BUT QUESTION ON POSSIBLE

PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT.

THEY SEE THE DOJ, OF COURSE

AGGRESSIVELY PROSECUTING

PRESIDENT BIDEN'S CHIEF

POLITICAL MR. TRUMP WHILE AT

THE SAME TIME THEY SEE SLOW

WALKING SPECIAL TREATMENT GIVEN

TO THE PRESIDENT'S SON.

THIS MONTH AN ASSOCIATED

PRESS NORTH CENTER POLL FOUND.

JUST 19% OF AMERICANS ARE VERY

OR EXTREMELY CONFIDENT THE

JUSTICE DEPARTMENT IS HANDLING

ITS INVESTIGATION IN A FAIR AND

NONPARTISAN WAY.

HALF SAY THEY ARE NOT TOO

CONFIDENT OR NOT AT ALL

CONFIDENT REACHING UNIVERSITY

ROBERTSON SCHOOL OF GOVERNMENT.

DEAN MICHELLE BACHMANN SAYS THE

FBI SHOULD BE FREE FROM

POLITICAL INTERFERENCE FROM

BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE.

THEY'RE EAGER TO PROSECUTE

THOSE WHO POLITICAL OPPOSITION

TO THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION.

THEY SEEM HIGHLY RELUCTANT TO

PROSECUTE ANYONE WHO'S

ASSOCIATED THE CURRENT

ADMINISTRATION.

THAT IS A DENIAL OF JUSTICE IN

THIS HERE.

AND WE ALSO SAW ATTORNEY

GENERAL GARLAND BEING

QUESTIONED ABOUT POSSIBLE

ANTI-CATHOLIC BIAS UNDER THE

DEPARTMENT UNDER HIS PURVIEW TO

WHICH HE REALLY FORCEFULLY THIS

WAS BROUGHT BY REPUBLICAN

REPRESENTATIVE JEFFERSON VAN

DREW, A QUESTION OF A SERIES OF

INCIDENTS WHERE HE ALLEGES

THERE WAS ANTI-CATHOLIC ALSO

ANTI-CHRISTIAN BIAS INCLUDING A

MEMO FROM THE FBI ABOUT

POSSIBLE FBI AGENTS SENT INTO

CATHOLIC CHURCHES.

GARLAND SAID HE APPALLED BY ANY

FBI MEMO MENTION OF THIS AND HE

USED HIS TIME AT THE MIC TO

REALLY SAY THAT PEOPLE PRACTICE

THEIR FAITH ARE NOT EXTREMISTS

ON CAPITOL HILL.

HILLARY POWELL CBN NEWS.

WELL THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AN

ORDINARY OVERSIGHT MEETING AND

THAT TURNED A GRILLING AND A

GRILLING PARTICULARLY FOR

POLITICAL BIAS.

THE REASON IS THAT I THINK

WE'VE ALL GOT TO WHAT HAPPENED

IN THE FIRST TWO YEARS OF THE

TRUMP ADMINISTRATION THAT THERE

WERE ABSOLUTELY CREATED THAT

SOMEHOW OR OTHER THERE WAS

COLLUSION WITH THE RUSSIAN

GOVERNMENT ALL BASED ON THE

STEELE DOSSIER.

THE FBI SHOULD HAVE KNOWN IF

THEY DID NOT ACTUALLY KNOW THAT

THAT WAS MADE A MADE UP REPORT

AND TO TAKE AN ADMINISTRATION

THROUGH THAT IS JUST

UNIMAGINABLE.

BUT THAT'S WHAT THEY DID.

AND IN THAT YOU HAVE FBI AGENTS

ADMITTING THAT THEY TRIED

PERJURY TRAPS FOR MEMBERS OF

THE PRESIDENT'S ADVISERS.

THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE TO ME.

AND WHAT IT DOES IT DESTROYS

CONFIDENCE THE FBI.

IT DESTROYS CONFIDENCE IN THE

JUDICIAL SYSTEM.

WHEN YOU THINK YOUR VOTE HAS

BEEN TAKEN AWAY, YOU VOTED FOR

A PARTICULAR CANDIDATE FOR

ELECTION AND THEN SOMEHOW THE

GOVERNMENT MACHINERY TRIES TO

HOBBLE THEIR ADMINISTRATION FOR

TOO YEARS IT WAS ABSOLUTE

NIGHTMARE.

THEN IT TURNED INTO ALL THESE

IMPEACHMENTS IN THE HOUSE OF

REPRESENTATIVES ALL OF THIS

STUFF.

WHEN YOU FEEL DISENFRANCHIZED

THEN THE SOCIAL CONTRACT IS

BROKEN.

THAT'S WHAT I.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE

ENDGAME HERE FOR THE FBI OR,

THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT BECAUSE

WHEN YOU DESTROY CONFIDENCE THE

JUDICIAL SYSTEM YOU HAVE LOST

SOMETHING FUNDAMENTAL TO OUR

DEMOCRACY, TO OUR DEMOCRATIC

REPUBLIC WHEN 50% OF AMERICANS

SAY THEY DON'T TRUST THE

CURRENT JUDICIAL SYSTEM THAT

SHOULD BE SOMETHING TO WAKE US

ALL UP BECAUSE WITHOUT THAT

KIND OF TRUST WE DON'T HAVE A

REPUBLIC.

AND HOW DO YOU EVEN TRUST THE

VOTING?

HOW DO YOU TRUST ANYTHING

ANYMORE?

AND HAVE YOU BROKEN THE SOCIAL

CONTRACT WITH THE AMERICAN

PEOPLE IN ALL OF THIS?

IT'S AMAZING TO ME THAT WE

DON'T SEE ANY JUSTICE, IF YOU

WILL, FOR THE FBI AGENTS WHO

DID THAT OR FOR IRS AGENTS THAT

SLOW SHOCKED TEA PARTY.

I'M GOING ALL THE WAY BACK TO

2012.

BUT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT EVER

HAPPENED TO THEM.

WHEN IS GOVERNMENT GOING TO BE

HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR WHAT THEY

DO TO INTERFERE WITH THE RIGHT

OF PEOPLE TO PARTICIPATE THE

POLITICAL PROCESS AND THEN WHEN

THEY WIN ELECTIONS ACTUALLY

HAVE THAT ELECTION COUNT.

WELL, IN OTHER NEWS, BIDEN

SAT DOWN WITH BENJAMIN

NETANYAHU FOR THE FIRST TIME

SINCE THE ISRAELI PRIME

MINISTER WON THE ELECTION LAST

.

JOHN JESSUP HAS MORE ON THAT

STORY FROM OUR CBN NEWS IN

WASHINGTON.

JOHN THAT IS RIGHT, GORDON

THAT LONG AWAITED MEETING WAS

SEEN AS A BIT OF A SNUB FOR NOT

BEING HELD AT THE HOUSE.

THE FACE TO FACE ON THE

SIDELINES OF THE UN GENERAL

ASSEMBLY COMES AFTER MONTHS OF

DISTANCING FROM THE WHITE HOUSE

OVER CONCERNS OF A JUDICIAL

OVERHAUL IN ISRAEL AND ISRAELI

SETTLEMENT EXPANSION

WEST BANK.

THE TWO DISCUSSED THE THREAT TO

ISRAEL FROM IRAN AND A

POTENTIAL ISRAEL SAUDI

NORMALIZATION DEAL.

IF YOU AND I TEN YEARS AGO

WERE TALKING ABOUT

NORMALIZATION WITH SAUDI ARABIA

AND I THINK WE LOOK AT EACH

OTHER LIKE WHO'S BEEN DRINKING

WHAT BLOOD WE'RE GOOD IRISH

WHISKEY ANYMORE.

WE HAVE SOME DIFFERENCES.

MY COMMITMENT TO ISRAEL YOU

KNOW, IRONCLAD.

I MEAN I THINK WITHOUT ISRAEL

THERE'S NOT A JEW IN THE WORLD

IS SECURE.

PRESIDENT BIDEN ALSO

EXPRESSED HOPE THAT THE TWO CAN

MEET IN WASHINGTON BEFORE THE

END OF THE YEAR.

ON CAPITOL HILL, HOUSE

REPUBLICAN LEADERS ARE STILL

WORKING TO AVOID A GOVERNMENT

SHUTDOWN BEGINNING AUGUST 1ST.

SPEAKER KEVIN MCCARTHY

WEDNESDAY NIGHT PRESENTED A NEW

PROPOSAL FOR A 30 DAY FUNDING

BILL TO KEEP THE GOVERNMENT

OPEN.

IT'S REPORTEDLY GETTING SUPPORT

FROM REPUBLICAN HOLDOUTS.

MEANWHILE, UKRAINIAN PRESIDENT

VLADIMIR ZELENSKY ON HILL TODAY

SEEKING MORE SUPPORT FOR HIS

COUNTRY'S DEFENSE AGAINST

INVASION.

THERE IS GROWING OPPOSITION TO

HEAR HIS REQUEST.

MORE THAN TWO DOZEN REPUBLICAN

LAWMAKERS ARE SENDING A LETTER

TO THE WHITE HOUSE STATING

THEIR INTENTION TO OPPOSE ANY

MORE AID TO UKRAINE.

PRESIDENT BIDEN IS TAKING

ACTION TO ADDRESS THE MIGRANT

CRISIS BY GRANTING TEMPORARY

LEGAL STATUS TO NEARLY HUNDRED

THOUSAND VENEZUELANS WHO

ARRIVED IN THE COUNTRY BY JULY

31ST.

THAT WILL MAKE IT EASIER FOR

THEM TO FIND WORK HERE IN THE

UNITED STATES.

IT IS A KEY DEMAND OF LOCAL AND

STATE STRUGGLING TO DEAL WITH A

GROWING NUMBER OF MIGRANTS IN

THEIR CITIES.

THE ADMINISTRATION IS ALSO

SENDING 800 DEFENSE DEPARTMENT

PERSONNEL TO THE BORDER AS THE

NUMBER OF BORDER CROSSINGS IS

SURGING MORE THAN 4000 JUST

YESTERDAY WITH MORE ON THE WAY.

DRONE VIDEO SHOWS HUNDREDS ON

THE ROOF OF A TRAIN MAKING ITS

WAY NORTH THROUGH MEXICO.

THOSE MIGRANTS ARE PART OF AN

UNBROKEN STRETCHING ALL THE WAY

BACK TO SOUTH AMERICA.

THE IMPACT OF THOUSANDS OF

PEOPLE MAKING THE TREK NORTH IS

TAKING A HUGE TOLL ON THE

COMMUNITIES THROUGH WHICH THEY

PASS.

CHUCK HOLTON BRINGS US THE

STORY FROM THE DARIÉN GAP WHAT

WAS ONCE ONE OF THE MOST REMOTE

AND PRISTINE ON PLANET EARTH IS

NOW AN ENVIRONMENTAL DISASTER.

TRASH LITTERS THE BANKS OF THE

RIVER LOCALS ONCE DEPENDED FOR

THEIR WATER.

NOW THE BITTER IRONY IS THAT IN

A PLACE WHICH GETS A DOZEN FEET

OF RAIN EACH YEAR THESE

INDIGENOUS TRIBES HAVE TO

IMPORT BOTTLED WATER.

SO IT'S ABOUT 8:00 IN THE

MORNING ON THE REALTOR CASE

GOING INTO THE DAIRY GAP AND

WE'RE STARTING TO PASS DOZENS

AND DOZENS OF THESE BOATS

COMING OUT COMPLETELY FULL OF

MIGRANTS.

YOU SEE ALL THESE MIGRANTS HERE

BEHIND ME.

THEY'RE FROM ALL OVER THE

WORLD AND ALL HEADED OUT TO THE

RIVER END WHERE THE ROAD IS.

PROBLEM IS THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH

VOTES TO GET THEM OUT OF HERE

AND GET THEM DOWN TO THE ROAD

WHERE THEY CAN CONTINUE THEIR

JOURNEY TO THE UNITED STATES 3

HOURS UPRIVER WE COME TO THE

LAST VILLAGE BEFORE REACHING

THE COLOMBIAN BORDER.

THE SCENE IS APOCALYPTIC

THOUSANDS OF MIGRANTS ARRIVE

EACH DAY MORE THAN SIX TIMES

THE VILLAGE'S ORIGINAL

POPULATION.

THERE'S NOWHERE TO SLEEP AND NO

ADEQUATE FACILITIES FOR THE

CRUSH OF HUMANITY DRAGGING IN

AFTER SIX DAYS IN THE JUNGLE.

PEOPLE LINED UP TO REGISTER THE

BOAT RIDE OUT STANDING FOR

HOURS UNDER THE MERCILESS SUN.

ALTHOUGH MANY SUFFER FROM

HEATSTROKE, THE TINY CLINIC HAS

NOTHING TO OFFER.

YEAH, WE'RE 5 MINUTES AND

THERE'S PEOPLE PASSING OUT LEFT

AND RIGHT.

THE SUN CAME OUT A SUPER HOT.

I DON'T HAVE MANY RESOURCES

HERE TO HELP THIS BUT REALLY

THEY NEED THEY NEED RESOURCES.

THESE GUYS THEY NEED VOLUNTEERS

THEY NEED SUPPLIES.

WITH THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE COMING

IN HERE EVERY DAY, THERE'S JUST

NO WAY THEY CAN TAKE CARE ALL

THE PEOPLE THAT ARE COMING IN

WITH NEEDS BECAUSE BY THIS TIME

THEY'VE ALREADY BEEN WALKING

THROUGH THE JUNGLE FOR FIVE OR

SIX DAYS.

AND SO THEY GET HERE THEY'RE

ALL HALF DEAD.

SOME OF THEM ARE MOSTLY DEAD.

AND LIKE THIS ONE RIGHT HERE

JUST DEHYDRATED PASSED OUT IN

THE SUN AND THEY REALLY NEED

TIME TO RECOVER BEFORE THEY

CONTINUE THEIR JOURNEY AND MANY

ARE DYING THE JUNGLE.

PEOPLE WHO WAS PASSING THE

RIVER THEY COULD JUST SEE THE

DEAD BODIES FRONT OF THEM.

AND ME AND MY FRIENDS WE JUST

GO AND WE JUST COVERED THEM

WITH SOME PLASTICS BECAUSE WE

DIDN'T WANTED SOME WILD ANIMALS

TO EAT OR SOMETHING.

AND ALSO THERE WERE SOME

CHILDREN AND ALSO SOME FAMILY

THEY WERE PASSING FROM THAT WE

DIDN'T WANT THEM TO SEE THE

DEAD.

AND IT WAS EXTREMELY, EXTREMELY

DANGEROUS.

NOW THE TRIBE HAS REACHED A

BREAKING POINT.

THEY'VE DECIDED TO BUILD A

SEPARATE CAMP FOR THE MIGRANTS

ACROSS THE RIVER ONE THAT WILL

HOLD UP TO 15,000 PEOPLE.

THIS YEAR THOUGH, WE'VE

DECIDED THAT IT HAS TO BE A

SHELTER AWAY FROM COMMUNITY

WHICH SHOULD GIVE MIGRANTS

THEIR OWN PLACE FOR FOOD AND

SHELTER AS THIS HAS AFFECTED

EVERY ASPECT OF OUR LIVES

INCLUDING SOCIAL, ECONOMIC,

CULTURAL AND EVEN EDUCATION.

BUT GET THEM OUT RIGHT NOW.

RIGHT NOW THEY ARE

DEFECATING IN THE SAME STREETS

WHERE THEY ARE SLEEPING.

NOBODY WANTS THAT.

WE WANT EVERYTHING TO BE WELL

ORGANIZED AND IN ORDER SO THAT

THE MIGRANTS FEEL BETTER WHEN

THEY COME TO THE COMMUNITY.

THIS YEAR THE NUMBER OF

PEOPLE TRAVERSING THE GAP AND

ROUTE TO THE UNITED STATES HAS

EXCEEDED 350,000 WHICH IS

ALREADY 100,000 MORE THAN 2022.

AND THE TOLL IN HUMAN MISERY

THE NUMBERS JUST KEEP RISING.

FROM PANAMA, I'M CHUCK ALTON

FOR CBS NEWS.

A MUCH NEEDED REPORT.

THANK YOU, CHUCK GORDON.

THOSE SCENES ARE JUST

DEVASTATING AND OVERWHELMING

AND IT JUST SHOWS THE

DESPERATION ON SO MANY PEOPLE.

IT SHOWS THE DESPERATION.

IT ALSO SHOWS THAT THEY HAVE

HOPE AND ONE OTHER COUNTRY HAS

A DREAM.

IN AMERICA WE ACTUALLY JOKE

ABOUT IT.

I'M I'M TRYING TO ACHIEVE THE

AMERICAN DREAM.

IS THERE AN AFGHANISTAN DREAM?

YOU KNOW, YOU LOOK AT THE

MIGRANTS COMING IN, THEY'RE

COMING TO US BECAUSE THEY

PERCEIVE THAT THEY CAN HAVE

HOPE HERE.

BUT WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND

AND I WILL I'VE IT BEFORE I'M

GOING TO CONTINUE SAYING IT

UNTIL WE CAN GET SOME KIND OF

MOVEMENT ON IT.

WHERE IS OUR GOVERNMENT AND IS

THERE NOT COMPREHENSIVE

IMMIGRATION POLICIES THAT'S

CLEARLY SPELL OUT SPELL IT OUT

AS TO WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN

TO YOU IF YOU SHOW UP AT THE

BORDER.

RIGHT NOW THE MESSAGE THAT

THEY'RE GETTING IS OKAY, YOU

GET ARRESTED, IT'S NO BIG DEAL.

YOU'RE GOING TO GET RELEASED

AND EVEN UP TO CHICAGO.

SO YOU KNOW, IT'S THE WRONG

MESSAGE SEND AND THAT'S THE

REASON YOU'RE SEEING THIS FLOOD

OF IMMIGRATION AND BECAUSE THEY

HAVE THE HOPE, THEY HAVE THE

PROMISE THEY WANT THE DREAM

THAT ALL HAVE.

THEY WANT THAT AND THEY'RE

COMING IN ABSOLUTE DROVES.

AND IT'S CURIOUS TO ME TO

SEE THAT THERE'S REALLY NOT

EFFECTIVE NEWS COVERAGE ON THIS

ISSUE.

JUST THE OTHER DAY THE

ADMINISTRATION COMES OUT WITH

SOME OF PLAN FOR 300,000

VENEZUELANS TO ACTUALLY GET

EMPLOYED HERE AND THEY TOUT

THAT AS SOME BIG POLICY CHANGE

AND THE ADMINISTRATION TRYING

TO SOLVE THE MIGRATION PROBLEM.

WELL, 300,000 AGAINST THREE AND

A HALF MILLION IS NOT SOLVING

ANYTHING YOU'RE THROWING A

PEBBLE IN THE POND.

HOW DO WE COME TO COMPREHENSIVE

IMMIGRATION POLICY?

THERE SHOULDN'T BE A REPUBLICAN

ISSUE.

IT SHOULDN'T BE A DEMOCRAT

ISSUE.

THIS SHOULD BE THE UNITED

STATES OF AMERICA ISSUE.

HOW DO WE SOLVE THIS AND HOW DO

WE SEND A MESSAGE TO FOLKS

HERE'S THE PROPER PROCESS TO

FOLLOW IF YOU DON'T FOLLOW THAT

STAY WITH CBN NEWS ALL DAY

ACROSS OUR PLATFORMS YOU DON'T

HAVE TO CARRY IT ALL.

WELL, THAT'S A MESSAGE FOR ALL

OF US.

IT'S ALSO A MESSAGE FORMER GOOD

MORNING AMERICA PAULA FARIS HAS

FOR WORKING MOMS.

IN HER NEW BOOK SHE'S CALLING

ON WOMEN TO DITCH MOM GUILT.

AND SHE OFFERS THEM A BETTER

WAY FORWARD.

SHE ALSO TOLD CBN'S JENNA

BROWDER THAT CORPORATE AMERICA

AND THE CHURCH SHOULD DO TO

SUPPORT WORKING MOMS.

WE'RE BACK NOW WITH THE FAMILY

THAT HAS CAPTIVATED THE WORLD.

SHE'S ONE OF AMERICA'S MOST

WELL-KNOWN JOURNALISTS, A PEREZ

IN 2014, PAULA FARIS BEGAN HER

TENURE ON ABC'S GOOD MORNING

AMERICA WEEKEND AND THE VIEW A

WOMAN AT THE TOP OF HER GAME.

THEN IN 2018, WHILE PAULA IS

MOVING ON FROM GMA MAY WEEKEND,

SHE'S STILL TO BE A HUGE PART

OF THE ABC TEAM.

SHE DECIDED TO PUMP THE

BRAKES AND ASKED TO STEP AWAY

FROM THOSE DUTIES TO A REPORTER

ROLE.

I FELT LIKE I WASN'T SEEING

MY HUSBAND OR MY KIDS.

I WANTED TO BE WITH MY.

MY SCHEDULE WAS JUST REALLY

CRAZY.

ONE YEAR LATER ABC NEWS CHOSE

NOT TO RENEW HER CONTRACT.

FACED WITH A DECISION ABOUT

WHAT TO DO NEXT, SHE CHOSE A

LESS FAMILIAR PATH.

I DECIDED TO TRY SOMETHING NEW

WHICH IS WHY WE KIND OF BLEW UP

OUR LIVES AND HIT THAT GREAT

BIG RESET BUTTON.

WE MOVED A SMALL TOWN IN

SOUTH CAROLINA WHERE MY SISTER

LIVES AND.

I DECIDED TO PURSUE A

COMPANY OF MY.

THE FIRST WORDS THAT POP

INTO YOUR MIND ABOUT WHAT IT'S

?

LIKE TO BE A WORKING MOM

BASED ON HER OWN EXPERIENCE

PAULA STARTED KARI MEDIA TO

ADVOCATE FOR WORKING MOMS.

AND I JUST SAW HOW WOMEN

WERE TREATED ONCE THEY BECAME

MOTHERS HOW THEY WERE VALUED

LESS AND SCRUTINIZED AND

PENALIZED FOR HAVING CHILDREN

INSTEAD OF JUST BEING

CELEBRATED.

THAT'S FORWARD TO 2023.

THEN SHE'S OUT WITH A NEW BOOK.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO CARRY IT ALL.

DITCH THE MOM GUILT AND FIND A

BETTER WAY FORWARD.

TWO QUESTIONS WHAT IS MOM GUILT

FOR YOU AND WHY THE TITLE?

YEAH, MOM GUILT.

IT'S NOT JUST FOR ME LIKE 80 TO

90% OF MOTHERS SUFFER FROM SOME

LEVEL OF MOM GUILT AND IT'S

JUST NEVER FEELING LIKE WE'RE

ENOUGH.

LIKE WE'RE NEVER PRESENT

ENOUGH.

WE'RE NOT A GOOD ENOUGH MOM.

WE'RE ALWAYS PROJECTING SOME

SORT OF GUILT UPON OURSELVES.

AND SO MUCH OF THAT IS

BECAUSE IN AMERICA MOTHERHOOD

ISN'T REALLY CELEBRATED AND

THERE'S NOT A LOT OF SUPPORT

FOR BEING A MOTHER IN OTHER

COUNTRIES.

I FOUND SOMETHING THAT BLEW

MY MIND WAS THAT MOTHERS

GLOBALLY NOT ONLY HAVE TO WORK

BUT THEY TAKE LOT OF PRIDE IN

WORKING AND HELPING TO

CONTRIBUTE TO THE HOME.

BUT THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT

THE ATTITUDES IN OTHER

COUNTRIES TOWARDS CHILDREN AND

FAMILIES ARE SO MUCH BETTER

HERE IN AMERICA IT'S LIKE OH

YOUR KID, YOUR PROBLEM, FIGURE

IT OUT.

PAULA CALLS THE BOOK

PRACTICAL AND TACTICAL STARTS

WITH A HISTORY LESSON TO SHOW

MOMS HOW TO DITCH THAT GUILT.

I NERD IT OUT IN ONE OF THE

CHAPTERS ABOUT HISTORY OF

AMERICAN FAMILIES AND SO OFTEN

WE THINK GO BACK TO THE FIFTIES

AND SIXTIES, THE GOOD OLD DAYS

AND YOU KNOW, WE HAVE NOSTALGIA

THE PAST.

I WAS GUILTY OF THAT TOO.

BUT IN RESEARCHING HISTORY OF

AMERICAN FAMILIES I LEARNED

THAT THE MOST TRADITIONAL

FAMILY IN AMERICA WAS WHEN THE

HUSBAND AND WIFE THE MOTHER AND

THE FATHER THEY CO-PRODUCED

TOGETHER THEY RAISED THE

CHILDREN TOGETHER AND OF

COURSE, YOU KNOW, WOMEN DIDN'T

ALWAYS HAVE THE SAME AMOUNT

RIGHTS THAT WE DO TODAY BUT

THEY WERE WORKING TOGETHER.

THEY WERE RAISING THE CHILDREN

TOGETHER.

THAT'S THE MOST TRADITIONAL

FAMILY WHEN IT COMES TO

CORPORATE AMERICA, PAULA SAYS

WORKING MOMS ADD TREMENDOUS

VALUE.

RECENT YEARS THERE HAVE BEEN

SOME BIG STEPS FORWARD

INCLUDING MORE FLEXIBLE REMOTE

WORK PAID FAMILY LEAVE AND

EFFORTS TO BRING WOMEN'S

SALARIES IN LINE WITH MEN'S.

STILL, PAULA SAYS THERE'S MORE

TO DO UNLESS OTHER IDEAS LIKE

PROVIDING AFFORDABLE CHILDCARE

AND ESTABLISHING MOMS IN

POSITIONS OF LEADERSHIP.

A BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN PAULA A

CHAPTER ON THE CHURCH.

I STRUGGLED WITH WORKING

OUTSIDE OF THE HOME BECAUSE OF,

YOU KNOW, THE MESSAGES I HEARD

FROM CHURCH AND MY FAITH

CIRCLES.

AND SO I TACKLE THAT THE BOOK

TO SHOW IS REALLY HARD CHAPTER

FOR ME TO WRITE BUT IS VERY

FREEING ABOUT WHAT THE

SCRIPTURES ACTUALLY SAY ABOUT

WOMEN MOTHERS ARE ROLE SOCIETY

AT HOME AND AT WORK.

IN HER RESEARCH SHE TALKED TO

THE HEAD THEOLOGIAN PROVERBS 31

MINISTRIES WHO POINTS OUT THAT

IN THE BEGINNING MAN AND WOMAN

LABORED TOGETHER THEY DIVIDED

TASKS AND RESPONSIBILITIES

EQUALLY HE GIVES MANY EXAMPLES

OF WOMEN WORKING OUTSIDE THE

HOME INCLUDING A JUDGE AND

PROPHETESS IN THE OLD TESTAMENT

AND IN THE NEW PRISCILLA AND

PHOEBE.

HE ALSO HIGHLIGHTS THE PROVERBS

ONE WOMAN BUT I LEARNED THAT

THE PROVERBS 31 WOMAN WHO WE

OFTEN REDUCED YOU KNOW, A

DOMESTIC HOUSEWIFE WAS ACTUALLY

A SKILLED BUSINESSWOMAN AND

NEGOTIATOR OR A NEGOTIATOR.

THE SECURITY OF HER COMMUNITY

WAS HER SHOULDERS THAT SHE WAS

A MANAGER.

SHE BOUGHT A FIELD WITH HER

EARNINGS.

AND SO OFTEN WE HAVE WEAPONIZED

WORK AS IF THIS ISN'T PART OF

GOD'S PLAN.

BUT THAT'S NOT THE CASE AND

THAT'S WHERE I THINK THE CHURCH

CAN DO A LOT BETTER IS JUST

CELEBRATE THAT LOOK THE BEST

FAMILIES ARE WHEN BOTH THE

MOTHER AND THE FATHER ARE

ACTIVELY INVOLVED WERE RAISING

THE CHILDREN TOGETHER WERE

CO-PRODUCING.

PAULA MAKES THE CASE THAT

THE SCRIPTURES GIVE SOUND

REASON AND EVEN PERMISSION FOR

WOMEN TO WORK OUTSIDE THE HOME

AND, EMBRACE THEIR GOD GIVEN

AMBITIONS.

THAT'S WHAT SHE SAYS SHE'S

TRYING TO DO THROUGH HER

COMPANY AND THIS NEW BOOK AND

SHE HOPES IT ENCOURAGES OTHERS

TO DO THE SAME AND BRING ABOUT

A MORE MOM FRIENDLY CULTURE.

END OF THE DAY WHAT I'M

TRYING TO DO YES FOR MOTHERS IN

THE WORKFORCE BUT I'M REALLY

HOPING THAT IT STRENGTHENS

FAMILIES.

WE SAY WE'RE A FAMILY FRIENDLY

COUNTRY BUT OUR POLICIES OUR

ATTITUDES SAY SOMETHING TOTALLY

DIFFERENT.

JENNA BROWDER, CBN NEWS WELL

I'M ALL FOR CELEBRATING

MOTHERHOOD AND WANT A CULTURE

THAT CELEBRATES AND ENCOURAGES

MOTHERS TO SAY YES, WE'RE WITH

YOU, WE'RE WITH YOU ON THIS

WHETHER IT'S IN THE CHURCH, THE

CORPORATE WORLD OR JUST HER

EVERY DAY INTERACTION.

HOW CAN WE CELEBRATE THAT AND

HOW CAN WE SAY HOW CAN WE HELP

YOU?

SOME OF MY BEST FRIENDS ARE

WORKING MOTHERS AND THEY

WEREN'T CONTENT WITH JUST

SAYING WELL I'M GOING TO HAVE A

COUPLE OF CHILDREN THEY HAD TO

GO OUT AND ADOPT A BUNCH MORE

AND THEN THEY TURNED AROUND AND

SAID WELL EVERY CHILD IN THE

WORLD IS NOW MY RESPONSIBILITY.

SO TERRI WELL HOW DID YOU

CARRY IT OUT?

BECAUSE LET ME SAY I FOR SIX

YEARS I DIDN'T WHEN MY MY

INITIAL FAMILY WAS FIRST COMING

BY THE TIME NUMBER THREE

ARRIVED I THOUGHT IT WASN'T YOU

DON'T NEED TO IT ALL I COULDN'T

CARRY AT ALL.

BUT BEYOND THAT THERE WAS A

PART ME AS THE MOM THAT DIDN'T

WANT TO MISS OUT ON ALL THOSE

FIRST MOMENTS AND ALL THOSE

NURTURING TIMES THAT I WAS

GOING TO HAVE SOMEONE ELSE DO

FOR ME.

SO FOR SIX YEARS I STAYED OUT

OF THE WORKFORCE AND CAME BACK

HERE WHEN I WENT IN THERE

COMPETED LIKE THAT PHRASE

REDUCED AROUSAL.

NO, I GOT CLAPPED BACK ON

THAT.

YEAH, I THINK I THINK MOMS

HAVE A REMARKABLE OPPORTUNITY

TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE

WORLD AROUND THEM.

I DON'T THINK YOU HAVE TO JUST

SIT KNITTING AND COOKING MEALS

AND PLANNING YOUR MEALS.

I THINK THERE'S A WHOLE WORLD

OUT THERE THAT WHEN YOU HAVE A

FULL TIME JOB YOU REALLY DON'T

GET TO INVEST.

AND I MEAN IT WAS TO ME I HAD

THE PRIVILEGE OF DOING SIX

YEARS IT WAS THE FINANCIAL

HARDSHIP FOR OUR FAMILY BUT I

DON'T RECALL A SECOND OF IT

DEFINITELY ABSOLUTELY DID GOOD

JOB.

I WILL SAY AS A FATHER WE NEED

TO CELEBRATE FATHERS TOO.

WHEN WE HAD OUR THIRD BABY

SUDDENLY WE WERE BOTH

OVERWHELMED.

WE COULDN'T PLAY MAN TO MAN

DEFENSE.

WE HAD TO GO TO ZONE BECAUSE

THERE'S JUST TOO MANY KIDS TO

COVER.

SO BUT LET'S CELEBRATE IT

BECAUSE IS OUR FUTURE.

THIS IS THE FUTURE OF THE

COUNTRY.

IT'S THE FUTURE OF THE WORLD.

SO WHY NOT CELEBRATE IT?

SO PAULA, PARENTS THIS LATEST

SCREEN AND TELL THEM THAT BOONE

SENT YOU THREE YEARS AGO.

MADISON PREWETT WAS A

CONTESTANT ON THE WHERE SHE WAS

CRITICIZED FOR HER STRONG STAND

FOR PURITY.

TODAY MADISON IS NO LONGER

LOOKING FOR LOVE.

SHE KNOWS SHE'S FOUND THE LOVE

EVERYBODY WANTS.

MADISON PREWETT ENTERED THE

SPOTLIGHT AS A CONTESTANT ON

THE BACHELOR SHOW IN 2020 AS A

FINALIST.

SHE MADE CLEAR THAT HER FAITH

IN GOD WAS A TOP PRIORITY.

SINCE THAT EXPERIENCE, MADISON

HAS GAINED A SPEAKING WRITING

AND MEDIA OUTREACH.

SHE LOVES HELPING OTHERS SORT

THROUGH WHAT'S MOST IMPORTANT

IN LIFE.

IN HER NEW BOOK THE LOVE

EVERYBODY WANTS NEWLY MADISON

SAYS THE TRUEST LOVE COMES FROM

GOD AND IS ALREADY.

PLEASE WELCOME BACK TO THE

700 CLUB MADISON PREWETT TROUT

IT'S GREAT TO HAVE YOU.

SO GOOD TO BE HERE WITH YOU

LIVE IN PERSON.

WHAT AN EXPERIENCE YOU'VE HAD

IN ALL OF THIS.

YOUR BOOK IS SO INTERESTING.

WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR IS

ALREADY YOURS KNOW?

I MEAN PEOPLE WHO WATCH THE

BACHELOR I THINK OVER THE YEARS

HAVE KIND GONE AS IT'S GONE

REALLY.

I WAS ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE SO

SAY REALLY?

SO YOU CAME OFF THE SHOW AND

NOW YOU'RE MARRIED.

WHAT HAS ANYTHING ABOUT

MARRIAGE SURPRISED YOU?

THE CRAZIEST THING IS I

STARTED WRITING THIS BOOK

SINGLE AND AS THERAPY TO MYSELF

TRYING TO REMIND MYSELF OF

TRUTH OF GOD'S WORD AND

PROMISES WHEN I WASN'T FEELING

IT OR SEEING HAPPEN.

AND I STARTED WRITING IT

SINGLE.

I MET MY HUSBAND IN THE MIDDLE

OF WRITING IT AND THEN FINISHED

MY MANUSCRIPT FOR THIS BOOK TWO

MONTHS AFTER BEING MARRIED.

SO I WAS ABLE TO WRITE FROM ALL

THE DIFFERENT RELATIONAL

PERSPECTIVES AND I REALIZED

MESSAGE THAT I STARTED WRITING

SINGLE STILL APPLIES IN

MARRIAGE WHICH IS WHY I'LL TALK

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT

RELATIONSHIPS BECAUSE NOT JUST

WOMEN BUT MEN AS WELL OFTEN

LOOK, I DON'T KNOW THAT WE KNOW

THAT WE DO THIS BUT LOOK FOR

THEIR IDENTITY AND FINDING MR.

OR MS. RIGHT THIS GOING TO

SUDDENLY FULFILL ALL MY DREAMS.

YES.

SPEAK TO THAT.

ABSOLUTELY.

I HAVE A WHOLE CHAPTER JUST

TITLED HE COMPLETES ME BECAUSE

I DO I THINK THAT'S WHAT WE

FEEL WE FEEL WE HAVE TO FIND

COMPLETION AND THE THINGS OF

THIS WORLD ARE IN SOMEONE ELSE.

AND IT WAS A MOMENT FOR ME THAT

ACTUALLY LED TO THE INSPIRATION

BEHIND THIS BOOK WHERE I HAD

THIS MOMENT ALONE IN MY ROOM.

I WAS PRAYING AND, I WAS

FRUSTRATED WITH GOD AND I WAS

LIKE WHY HAVEN'T I FOUND MY

SPOUSE AND I FELT LIKE MY

PURPOSE WAS PUT ON HOLD.

I FELT LIKE I WAS WAITING FOR

SOMEONE ELSE TO SATISFY ME.

AND IT WAS IN THAT MOMENT WHERE

GOD JUST SPOKE TO ME AND SAID

MADDIE, YOU'RE LOOKING FOR ALL

THE RIGHT THINGS IN ALL THE

WRONG PLACES.

YOU'RE TRYING TO FIND WHAT

YOU'RE LOOKING FOR IN ANOTHER

PERSON AND IT CAN ONLY BE FOUND

ME.

AND SO I SPEAK TO THIS IDEA OF

A PERSON IN LIFE, A PARTNER IN

LIFE MEANT TO COMPLIMENT YOU

NOT COMPLETE YOU.

ONLY JESUS CAN REALLY WE SHOULD

BE PRAYING THAT WE GET READY

WHEN WE MEET THE RIGHT PERSON

BE ABSOLUTELY THE RIGHT

COMPLEMENT.

YOU MENTIONED COMPLETE LET'S

TALK ABOUT COMPETE BECAUSE IN A

RELATIONSHIP KNOW SOME PEOPLE

COMPETE SOME PEOPLE ARE

COMPLETE IN THE RELATIONSHIP

WHAT ABOUT THAT?

YEAH.

SO I TALK ABOUT THE FOUR

DANGERS OF YOU KNOW GETTING IN

WAY OF US FINDING THE LOVE THAT

WE'RE LOOKING FOR AND ONE OF

THOSE IS COMPETING.

ANOTHER IS COMPARING AND EVEN

CONFORMING YOU KNOW,

COMPROMISING OUR CONVICTIONS,

OUR VALUES, OUR STANDARDS TO BE

LOVED AND WHAT HAVE YOU.

EXACTLY.

AND THE WHOLE IDEA AND HEART

BEHIND THIS BOOK IS THAT WHEN

WE FIND THAT IN GOD AND THEN

WHEN WE LEARN TO VIEW OURSELVES

WAY THAT GOD VIEWS US SEEING

OURSELVES THE WAY THAT HE SEES

US KNOWING, OUR VALUE AND OUR

WORTH, WE'RE ABLE TO ENTER INTO

THESE RELATIONSHIPS FROM PLACE

OF A VALUE AND CONFIDENCE AND

ABUNDANCE SAYING I DON'T NEED

YOU TO COMPLETE ME.

I ALREADY KNOW WHO I AM AND

WE'RE NOT FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO

TO BE THAT MANY.

WHAT ARE SOME OF THE RED

FLAGS SHOULD WATCH FOR BECAUSE

YOU KNOW WE ARE WHEN WE'RE

SINGLE USUALLY LOOKING FOR IS

THIS THE PERSON?

IS THAT THE PERSON AND

SOMETIMES WE GET INVOLVED

SOMETIMES PHYSICALLY INVOLVED

IN A RELATIONSHIP AND FEEL LIKE

WE CAN'T STEP AWAY FROM IT.

BUT THERE WERE RED FLAGS IF

WE'D LOOKED AT THEM AND I'VE

BEEN THE PERSON WHO'S BEEN

BLIND TO THEM SO I'LL BE THE

FIRST TO SAY WE ALL HAVE.

I WAS WRITING FROM A PLACE

AGAIN TEACHING AND PREACHING TO

MYSELF.

BUT YEAH, WHAT I'VE REALIZED IS

THAT RED FLAGS THAT WE TOLERATE

AT THE BEGINNING END UP LAYING

THE GROUNDWORK FOR THE KIND

RELATIONSHIP THAT WE BUILD ON

AND THAT'S WHY WE SHOULD NOT

RUN FROM IGNORE THEM OR

TOLERATE THEM BUT RATHER PAY

ATTENTION AND LEAN IN AND.

SO I TALK ABOUT A FEW IN THIS

BOOK ONE OF THEM BEING WHEN OUR

BEHAVIORS BELIEFS DON'T ALIGN

THAT'S NOT REALLY SOMETHING WE

SHOULD BE LOOKING OUT FOR IN

SOMEONE ELSE BUT EVEN ASKING

OURSELVES DO MY ALIGN WITH THE

BELIEFS AND THE VALUES THAT I

SAY THAT I.

AND SO I'VE SEEN, YOU KNOW, IN

RELATIONSHIPS THAT I'VE HAD IN

MY PAST SOMETIMES THAT THEIR

BEHAVIOR IS THE ANSWER TO YOU

KNOW ASKING GOD IS THIS THE ONE

FOR ME?

AND GOD'S LIKE WELL JUST PAY

ATTENTION TO BEHAVIORS THEIR

PATTERNS, THEIR HABITS.

SO YOU KNOW, I THINK SOMETIMES

ALSO IN RELATIONSHIPS WE THINK

AS WOMEN ESPECIALLY MORE THAN

MEN DO THAT MORE WOMEN DO THIS

MORE THAN MEN DO THIS.

WHEN I'M FINALLY THERE WITH HIM

EVERY DAY IT WILL HE WILL FALL

IN TO THE ROLE I YOU KNOW, I'M

NOT GOING TO HAVE TO COMPROMISE

BUT YOU'RE COMPROMISING BY THAT

THING.

YES, I EVEN HAVE ONE DON'T DATE

POTENTIAL TILL DATE PERCENT.

SO I THINK WE HAVE THIS

THING INSIDE OF US WHERE WE

WANT TO HAVE THIS FIXER UPPER

RELATIONSHIP.

WE HOPE THAT WE CAN CHANGE THEM

OR FIX THEM, MAKE THEM INTO THE

PERSON WE WANT THEM TO BE BUT

THAT JUST CAN BECOME DANGEROUS

BECAUSE WHAT IF THEY NEVER

BECOME THAT PERSON?

SO WE SHOULD DATE SOMEONE FOR

WHO THEY ARE NOW NOT WHO HAVE

WHO WE WANT THEM TO BE.

TALK ABOUT PURITY BECAUSE

OUR WORLD CHANGED SO MUCH AND

WE LIVE IN A WORLD THAT'S CRAZY

SEXUALLY AND WITH ALL KINDS OF

TEMPTATION.

HOW IMPORTANT IS IT MAN?

I THINK ABOUT MATTHEW FIVE

EIGHT AND IT SAYS BLESSED ARE

THE PURE AND HEART FOR THEY

WILL SEE GOD.

AND FOR ME I MADE A DECISION TO

SAVE MYSELF FOR MARRIAGE NOT OF

A CHURCH OR BECAUSE I FELT LIKE

I HAD TO BUT BECAUSE I GOT TO A

PLACE AND I SAID GOD, THIS IS

GOING TO HELP ME SEE THIS IS

GOING HELP ME KNOW YOU.

AND I'VE REALIZED IN LIFE WHEN

I TRY AND DANCE WITH THE THE

LINE OF IMPURITY IT ONLY LED TO

CONFUSION AND SHAME AND JUST

THIS ENDLESS CYCLE OF OF LOSING

MY IDENTITY.

YET WHEN I PURSUED PURITY WITH

ALL OF MY HEART IT LED TO GOD'S

PEACE GOD'S AND IT WAS SUCH A

GIFT AND THAT IS MY HEART IS I

WANT PEOPLE TO READ THIS BOOK

AND SEE THAT GOD CALLS US TO

PURITY NOT TO WITHHOLD FROM US

BUT RATHER TO GIVE US A

BEAUTIFUL GIFT AND BLESS US NO

REGRETS IF THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE

LOOKING FOR IN YOUR LIFE.

YOU WANT TO READ MADISON'S BOOK

THE LOVE EVERYBODY WANTS WHAT

LOOKING FOR IS ALREADY YOURS.

IT'S A WONDERFUL BOOK I THINK

YOU'LL THOROUGHLY IT.

TIKI DAVIS IS A BUSINESSMAN

AND ENTREPRENEUR AND, A

MILLIONAIRE.

HE WAS ALSO A REGISTERED SEX

OFFENDER FALSELY ACCUSED OF A

CRIME HE DIDN'T COMMIT.

SELF-MADE MILLIONAIRE TIKI HAS

FACED HIS SHARE OF OBSTACLES ON

HIS WAY TO SUCCESS STARTING

WITH HIS CHILDHOOD WHERE HE WAS

ONE STEP AWAY FROM BECOMING

ANOTHER STATISTIC.

I WAS GROWING UP IN ODESSA.

WE WERE MURDER CAPITAL OF THE

WORLD.

THE DRUGS, CRIME AND A LOT OF

THAT STUFF WAS GOING ON AROUND

HERE AND I WAS JUST A PRODUCT

OF IT.

WITH AN ABSENTEE DAD AND A

DRUG ADDICTED MOM TIKI HAD TO

TAKE CARE OF HIMSELF FROM AN

EARLY AGE.

HE WAS ON THE STREETS BY THE

TIME HE WAS 12.

YET TIKI SOLOWAY OUT OF POVERTY

PLAYING FOOTBALL.

MY FIRST GOAL AND ASPIRATION

THAT I REALLY COULD REMEMBER

WAS TO BE A FOOTBALL PLAYER.

THE GAME OF FOOTBALL GAVE ME A

SENSE OF MEANING, MADE ME GOOD

ABOUT MYSELF.

HIS FORTUNE WOULD CHANGE

WHEN A TEACHER FOR HIM TO BE

MOVED INTO A BOY'S HOME.

AT THAT TIME 1112 YEARS OLD

WAS THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE

THAT I KNEW WAS GOING TO HAVE A

STABLE PLACE TO LIVE.

I WAS ABLE TO GO TO FOOTBALL

PRACTICE EVERY DAY.

I WAS ABLE TO PLAY IN THE GAMES

EVERY WEEK AND THAT'S WHEN I

STARTED TO EXCEL BECAUSE MY

HOME LIFE WAS SOMEWHAT NORMAL.

I WAS REALLY, REALLY GOOD

THERE.

IN HIGH SCHOOL LIFE GOT EVEN

BETTER.

TIKI MOVED IN WITH A LOVING

FOSTER FAMILY.

WAS MAKING GOOD GRADES AND WAS

A SHOO IN FOR A FOOTBALL

SCHOLARSHIP.

THEN SUMMER OF HIS SENIOR YEAR

A GIRL ACCUSED HIM OF RAPE AND

AT THAT TIME I DIDN'T KNOW HOW

MUCH TROUBLE I WAS IN.

I FELT SHOCK.

I FELT DEFEATED.

I WAS ACCUSED OF A CRIME THAT

WAY.

WHOLE FOOTBALL CAREER.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE LOWEST

POINT IN MY LIFE.

AND THAT MOMENT WAS THAT DREAM

THAT THING THAT I WANTED.

IT WAS GONE.

DESPITE INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE,

TURKEY'S COURT APPOINTED LAWYER

ADVISED HICKEY TO PLEAD GUILTY

TO A LESSER CHARGE.

HE WOULD SERVE SIX MONTHS IN

COUNTY JAIL FOR A CRIME HE

DIDN'T COMMIT.

NOW HIS HOPES FOR COLLEGE AND A

SUCCESSFUL CAREER SEEM VANISH.

HOWEVER, IN JAIL TIKI FULLY

DEDICATED HIS LIFE TO GOD.

ALL I HAD WAS GOD AND I SAID

GOD JUST SEE ME THROUGH THIS.

I WOULD GO TO A CHAPEL WHEN I

WAS INCARCERATED, YOU KNOW.

STORY OF ABRAHAM.

STORY OF DAVID.

GOD, THAT HAD GREAT PAIN OR YOU

KNOW, ONE DAY THEY WERE IN THE

FIELDS AND THE NEXT DAY THEY

WERE IN THE PALACE AND STUFF

LIKE THAT.

SO I SAID GOD DID IT FOR DAVID

HE CAN DO IT FOR ME.

AFTER HIS RELEASE TIKI WENT ON

TO GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL, GOT A

JOB WASHING CARS AT A

DEALERSHIP.

TWO YEARS LATER THE LAW CHANGED

AND HE NOW HAD TO REGISTER AS A

SEX OFFENDER NOT PART OF HIS

ORIGINAL PLEA DEAL.

TIKI KNEW THAT LABEL WOULD MAKE

LIFE HARDER.

IT MADE ME FEEL LIKE I WAS

GUILTY AND THAT'S WHEN I REALLY

DID GET ANGRY BECAUSE NOW

YOU'RE ON THE INTERNET.

I PRAYED EVERY OR EVERY WEEK

WHEN I WAS GOING THROUGH THAT

TIME IN MY LIFE REMOVE THIS

CASE, REMOVE THIS CRIME, REMOVE

THIS OUT OF MY LIFE.

GOD, I DIDN'T KNOW IF GOD WAS

GOING TO ANSWER THAT PRAYER BUT

I NEVER GOD.

STILL TIKI WOULD DEFY THE ODDS

WITH THE HELP OF HIS EMPLOYER.

HE WENT ON TO EARN A BACHELOR'S

THEN MASTER'S DEGREE.

AFTERWARDS HE WORKED IN THE OIL

AND GAS INDUSTRY, EVENTUALLY

STARTED HIS OWN ENERGY

CONSULTING FIRM.

BY 35 HE WAS A MILLIONAIRE AND

A PILLAR OF THE COMMUNITY.

YET HE STILL CARRIED THE STIGMA

OF BEING LABELED A SEX OFFENDER

AS THE COURTS HAD REFUSED TO

CLEAR HIS NAME.

ONLY THING THAT I ASKED HIM FOR

DIRECTLY THAT I ASKED GOD FOR

WAS TO REMOVE THIS REGISTRY,

CLEAN MY NAME AND I CHALLENGED

THE STATE OF TEXAS TO HONOR

THEIR ORIGINAL.

AS HIS LAWYER PREPARED HIS

CASE.

TIKI TO TRUST GOD FOR JUSTICE.

THEN ONE DAY HE GOT AN

UNEXPECTED CALL.

IT WAS WOMAN WHO HAD ACCUSED

HIM ALL THOSE YEARS AGO.

SHE SAYS TIKI, I'VE BEEN

WANTING TO HELP YOU FOR 15

YEARS.

SHE SAYS I KNOW YOU'RE A GOOD

MAN.

I'M ASHAMED OF WHAT DID TO

YOU.

SO NOW ANY ANGER, ANY MALICE

THAT I HAVE FOR HER ALL WENT

OUT THE WINDOW BECAUSE NOW THIS

WHOLE TIME THESE 20 PLUS YEARS

I THINK I'M THE ONLY ONE

SUFFERING.

AND SHE SAYS, TIKI, I'M SORRY

AND I'M SAYING I'M SORRY.

WHILE TIKI HAD FORGIVEN HER,

THERE WAS ONE THING THAT NEEDED

TO BE DONE AND I FOUND MYSELF

TELLING HER I DON'T KNOW IF I

CAN GET THIS DONE WITHOUT YOUR

HELP.

IF YOU TELL THE LAWYERS WHAT

YOU TOLD, THEN WE SHOULD BE

GOOD.

SO THE WOMAN RECANTED HER

TESTIMONY.

AND ON MAY 17TH, 2018, TIKI

DAVIS AGAIN STOOD BEFORE A

JUDGE.

JUDGE SAYS TIKI, I CAN'T DO

ANYTHING ABOUT THE STATE OF

TEXAS CAN'T DO ANYTHING THAT

HAPPENED IN THIS COURTROOM

BEFORE ME BUT I CAN DO

SOMETHING TODAY.

AND HE SAYS MOVING FORWARD

YOU'RE A FREE MAN.

I'M GOING TO REMOVE YOU FROM

THE REGISTRY TODAY.

AND SO MAN, I CRIED MAN.

TODAY TIKI, AN AWARD WINNING

ENTREPRENEUR, SUCCESSFUL

BUSINESSMAN AND MOTIVATIONAL.

HE SAYS HIS FAITH IN GOD IS

WHAT CARRIED HIM THROUGH TRIALS

HE FACED AND DELIVERED HIM FROM

HIS TRAUMATIC PAST.

IF I LOOK BACK OVER MY LIFE,

GOD'S BEEN WITH ME THE WHOLE I

COULDN'T HAVE GOT THROUGH WHAT

I GOT THROUGH.

IF WASN'T THE ONE THAT WAS

CARRYING ME.

WELL I'M ONLY HERE THE GRACE

OF GOD.

THIS STORY IS ABSOLUTELY

INCREDIBLE.

WHAT SHOULD HAVE CRUSHED ANYONE

HERE?

YOU'RE HOMELESS AS A CHILD AND

YOU FIND WAY THROUGH.

YOU GET FALSELY ACCUSED.

YOU FIND A WAY THROUGH.

YOU SAY THAT WITH GOD I CAN DO

ALL THINGS I.

I CAN HAVE HIM BY MY SIDE.

I'M GOING TO ASK I'M GOING TO

KEEP ON ASKING HIM.

I'M GOING TO PREVAIL ON THIS

UNTIL.

THIS THING IS CLEARED AWAY.

AND THEN MIRACLE AFTER MIRACLE

AFTER MIRACLE WHAT CAN HAPPEN

TO YOU IF YOU JUST SAID OKAY,

GOD, I WANT TO DO IT WAY?

FOR TIKI THAT WAS VERY HARD.

I WANT YOU TO THE PERSON WHO

FALSELY ACCUSED YOU THEY

DESTROYED YOUR LIFE.

BUT I WANT YOU TO FORGIVE THEM

AND HE DID AND HE DID IT FROM

HIS HEART AND HE DID IT FREELY

.

YOU CAN SEE THE JOY AND AS YOU

CAN SEE WHAT HAPPENED HE DID

THAT THAT SAME THING CAN HAPPEN

TO YOU.

YOU CAN HAVE THAT SAME

EXPERIENCE WHERE YOU GET YOU GO

YES, I'LL DO IT YOUR WAY.

I WANT TO KNOW YOU.

I WANT TO KNOW YOUR

FORGIVENESS.

IF YOU CAN FORGIVE OF ALL THE

THINGS THAT I'VE DONE WRONG, I

WANT TO FORGIVE EVERY ONE WHO

HAS EVER HARMED ME.

I WANT TO SET THEM FREE.

WANT TO WALK IN YOUR

FORGIVENESS WHEN YOU THAT.

BLESSINGS WILL COME TO YOU THE

FREEDOM YOU WILL HAVE NO LONGER

WILL YOU BE ANXIOUS FOR YOUR

YOU'LL BE SAYING GOD, I

UNDERSTAND YOU'RE TAKING CARE

OF THAT.

HERE'S THINGS THAT I WOULD LIKE

AND I YOU WILL TAKE CARE OF IT

IF YOU WANT THIS BACK OF YOUR

HEAD WITH ME.

A VERY SIMPLE.

YOU FIND IT IN THE LORD'S

PRAYER.

PRAY A VERY SIMPLE PRAYER AND

GET FREE FROM THIS BECAUSE YOU

CAN.

LET'S PRAY.

JESUS.

I COME TO YOU AND I COME TO YOU

AS THE RISEN SAVIOR.

YOU WENT THROUGH PAIN.

YOU WENT THROUGH BEATINGS.

YOU WENT THROUGH FALSE

ACCUSATIONS AND THROUGH ALL OF

THE YOU FORGAVE YOU LOVED YOU

SET THEM FREE IN YOUR FINAL

MOMENTS YOU SAID FATHER FORGIVE

THEM FOR THEY KNOW WHAT THEY

DO.

SO LORD GOD, I ASK NOW THAT I

HAVE THE GRACE YOU FREELY GIVE

THAT YOU WOULD POUR THAT OUT ON

ME THAT I WOULD BE ABLE TO

FORGIVE.

FROM MY INNERMOST BEING THAT

WITH MY THOUGHTS, WITH MY

EMOTIONS, WITH MY HEART I WOULD

FORGIVE AND NOT HOLD ANYTHING

AGAINST ANYONE.

FORGIVE ME TODAY MY DAD'S AS I

FORGIVE OTHERS WHO HOLD ON ME.

I FORGIVE THEM.

I SET THEM FREE.

AND JESUS GIVE ME THE PEACE AND

THE UNDERSTANDING THAT YOU HAVE

MY THAT YOU'RE WATCHING OVER ME

THAT YOU'RE GUARDING STEPS AND

YOU'RE LEADING ME TO A PLACE OF

WHOLENESS AND PEACE

IN ADDITION FORGIVING OTHERS.

SO IF YOU WANT TO FREE COPY YOU

CAN GO TO CBN DOT COM YOU CAN

CALL US.

WE'LL EMAIL IT TO YOU ONE 800

707,000.

WELL WE'VE GOT TIME FOR SOME

EMAIL.

THIS IS FROM MICHAEL WHO SAYS

IN THE BOOK OF LUKE CHAPTER

FOUR VERSE 23 AFTER JESUS SPOKE

IN THE SYNAGOGUE HIS HOME TOWN

OF NAZARETH, HE MADE THIS

STATEMENT JESUS SAID TO THEM

SURELY YOU WILL QUOTE THIS

PROVERB TO ME PHYSICIAN HEAL

YOURSELF AND YOU WILL TELL ME

DO HERE IN YOUR HOMETOWN WHAT

WE'VE HEARD YOU DID IN

CAPERNAUM.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

WELL, JESUS ANSWERS IT IN VERY

NEXT VERSE AND IT'S FIRST 24.

THEN HE SAID ASSUREDLY I SAY TO

YOU NO PROPHET IS ACCEPTED IN

HIS OWN.

THE PROBLEM WAS HE WAS IN

NAZARETH AND SO THEY KNEW HIM.

THEY KNEW WHO HIS FATHER WAS.

THEY KNEW WHO WAS MOTHER WAS

THEY KNEW HIS BROTHERS.

THEY KNEW WHO HE THE SON OF A

CARPENTER.

WHEN YOU HAVE THAT KNOWLEDGE IS

SOMETIMES HARD TO SAY WELL, I

NOW BELIEVE THAT YOU'RE THE

MESSIAH, THAT YOU'RE CHOSEN ONE

AND SO THAT UNBELIEF HINDERED

MIRACLE ALSO AND SO THEY WERE

CHALLENGING HIM.

WE'VE HEARD THE STORIES FROM

THE OTHER TOWNS DO THAT HERE.

AND SO HE QUOTES BACK TO THEM

NO PROPHET IS ACCEPTED IN HIS

OWN COUNTRY.

THAT'S MEANING OF IT IS THAT

THEY JUST LITERALLY DIDN'T

RECEIVE HIM.

THIS IS CECILIA WHO SAYS

WHAT IS THE FEAST OF BOOTS THE

FEAST OF TABERNACLES.

I LOVE AND ADMIRE THE LORD'S

PEOPLE AND I WANT TO KNOW.

OKAY, I'VE GOT A MINUTE TO

ANSWER THIS.

WE'RE GOING TO RUN THROUGH SOME

VERSES THE FACE OF INGATHERING

AT THE END OF THE YEAR.

GATHERED YOUR FRUIT.

YOU FIND THAT IN THE BOOK OF

EXODUS AND THEN LATER ON IN

EXODUS YOU SAY YOU SHALL

OBSERVE THE FEAST TABERNACLES

SEVEN DAYS WHEN YOU'VE GATHERED

ON YOUR THRESHING FLOOR.

I HOPE WE HAVE THESE

SCRIPTURES.

YES, THERE THEY ARE.

THERE.

AND SO IT'S IT'S ALL OF THESE

THINGS DESIGNED TO BOTH SHOW

FORTH THAT THE ISRAELITES DWELT

IN TEMPORARY TABERNACLE COALS

AS THEY WENT FROM EGYPT TO THE

PROMISED LAND.

AND EVERY TIME WE HAVE A

HARVEST WE'RE SUPPOSED TO

REMIND

TEMPORARILY.

WE ARE JUST SOJOURNERS.

WE'RE STRANGERS IN A VERY

STRANGE LAND.

WE'RE CONSTANTLY MOVING AND

OUR OUR POINT OUR POINT OF

REFERENCE OUR POINT OF REST IS

NOT HERE IN THIS WORLD.

IT'S GOING TO BE IN THE NEW

JERUSALEM, THE NEW PLACE THAT

IS PREPARING FOR US.

HERE'S A WORD FROM

EPHESIANS.

BE KIND TO ONE ANOTHER

TENDERHEARTED FORGIVING ONE

ANOTHER JUST AS IN CHRIST ALSO

FORGAVE YOU.

GOD BLESS YOU.
