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

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.
