WELCOME TO THE 700 CLUB.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR JOINING WITH

US.

ISRAEL HAS ISSUED AN

UNPRECEDENTED EVACUATION ORDER

TELLING MORE THAN 1 MILLION

PALESTINIANS TO LEAVE NORTHERN

GAZA BEFORE IT LAUNCHES THIS

MASSIVE GROUND INVASION.

AND IF YOU CAN I DON'T

UNDERSTAND HOW DIABOLICAL THIS

IS.

HAMAS IS TELLING PALESTINIANS

TO STAY IN THEIR HOMES.

WELL, THE ORDER CAME SHORTLY

AFTER ISRAEL'S NEW EMERGENCY

TOOK OFFICE.

THE COUNTRY AND ITS LEADERSHIP

ARE BOTH IN THEIR DETERMINATION

TO DEFEAT THE TERRORISTS AND

WORLDWIDE SUPPORT FOR ISRAEL IS

GAINING GROUND AS NEVER BEFORE.

CHRIS REPORTS FROM JERUSALEM.

THURSDAY NIGHT ISRAEL'S NEW

EMERGENCY GOVERNMENT WAS SWORN

IN.

PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN

NETANYAHU EXPLAINED WHY MILLION

SINCE OCTOBER SEVEN, 2023 AT

6:00 IN THE MORNING BECAUSE OF

THE WAR THAT WAS FORCED ON THE

STATE OF ISRAEL THROUGH A

MURDEROUS TERRORIST ATTACK FROM

THE GAZA.

THE NEW GOVERNMENT INCLUDES

FORMER IDF CHIEF OF BENNY GANTZ

AND SEVERAL MEMBERS OF THE

OPPOSITION PARTIES AS THE IDF

AMASSES A HUGE MILITARY FORCE

ON THE GAZA BORDER, IT'S

WARNING CIVILIANS IN GAZA TO

GET OUT OF HARM'S WAY TO SAVE

PALESTINIAN LIVES.

AND I WOULD LIKE TO READ

VERBATIM WORD FOR WORD THE

MESSAGE THAT WE SENT OBVIOUSLY

IN ARABIC TO THE LOCAL IN GAZA

CITY INFORMING THEM OF THE NEED

TO EVACUATE FROM WHERE THEY ARE

FOR THEIR OWN SAFETY.

THIS IS THE MESSAGE THE IDF

CALLS FOR THE EVACUATION OF ALL

CIVILIANS FROM GAZA CITY.

I CAN ZOOM IN IN A SECOND FROM

GAZA CITY FROM THEIR HOMES

SOUTHWARDS FOR THEIR OWN SAFETY

AND PROTECTION AND TO MOVE TO

THE AREA SOUTH.

ONE OF THE OTHER THE RIVER OF

GAZA AS SHOWN ON THE MAP.

WE ARE NOT SEEING THE

RESIDENTS OF GAZA STRIP AS

ENEMIES.

HAMAS IS OUR ENEMY.

HAMAS OUR ENEMY AND WILL PAY

THE PRICE OF WHAT THEY DID TO

US.

PEOPLE ARE SAYING ISRAEL IS

REVENGE.

NO, NO, NO, NO.

IT'S NOT REVENGE.

HOW CAN YOU REVENGE?

ONE YEAR OLD BABY THAT THEY

SHOT HIM IN THE HEAD.

WHAT IS THE REVENGE FOR IT?

THERE IS NO REVENGE FOR IT.

THIS IS JUST A WAR AND AN

OPERATION STRATEGY OF ISRAEL TO

ELIMINATE HAMAS OF ITS POWER.

HAMAS CLAIMING THEY DID NOT

TARGET CIVILIANS.

WE HEAR WOULD LIKE TO STRESS

THAT THERE WERE CLEAR

INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE TOP

COMMANDER OF AL-QASSAM BRIGADES

TO AVOID TARGETING CIVILIANS OR

KILLING THEM.

YONAH BOB, MILITARY

CORRESPONDENT FOR THE JERUSALEM

POST WITNESSED THE CARNAGE IN

THE KIBBUTZ THE AREA PEOPLE ARE

SAYING HAMAS IS ISIS AND THAT'S

WHAT THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED

BECAUSE WHEN YOU HAVE WOMEN,

CHILDREN, BABIES, ELDERLY

SLAUGHTERED, HEADS BEING CUT

OFF BLOOD EVERYWHERE THE YOU

KNOW THE PICTURES, THE VIDEOS

THAT HAVE COME OUT, WHAT WOULD

THEY DID TO THESE COMMUNITIES

WAS JUST HORRIFIC, MONSTROUS.

YOU KNOW, WE COULD GO ON WITH

THE ADJECTIVES AND THAT IS WHAT

HAS TURNED THE WORLD.

I DON'T THINK THE WORLD WAS FOR

HAMAS BEFORE BUT THE WORLD IS

BEHIND ISRAEL.

ON A LEVEL IT HASN'T BEEN IN A

VERY LONG TIME BECAUSE OF THE,

YOU KNOW, OTHER BARBARITY THAT

THEY SAW FROM HAMAS IN THIS

CASE BURY WHICH I JUST SAW.

AND IN ANOTHER 21 COMMUNITIES.

ISRAEL IS ALSO BUILDING UP

ITS PRESENCE ALONG NORTHERN

BORDER IN CASE OF FIGHTING WITH

HEZBOLLAH.

TODAY'S ACTIONS COME AFTER THE

U.S. AND GOT TO REACH AN

AGREEMENT THAT GUTTER WILL NOT

ACT ON ANY REQUEST FROM IRAN TO

ACCESS $6 BILLION IN IRANIAN

FUNDS THAT WERE UNBLOCKED AS

PART A PRISONER SWAP LAST

MONTH.

AND JEWS AROUND THE WORLD URGED

TO BE CAUTIOUS AFTER A FORMER

HAMAS CHIEF CALLED FOR A DAY OF

BY MUSLIMS FOR TODAY.

BUT FOR NOW THE FOCUS IS ON

GAZA AND ISRAEL'S APPARENTLY

IMMINENT GROUND.

I CAN'T IMAGINE A GOVERNMENT

URGING ITS CITIZENS TO STAY IN

THE PLACE TO STAY THEIR HOMES

AS THEY'RE FACING IMMINENT

INVASION.

HERE'S A FACT AND IT'S AN

HISTORICAL FACT BACK TO 2006

UNDER THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION

AND THEY WERE TRYING TO

ENCOURAGE THE ARAB SPRING.

LET'S HAVE DEMOCRACY SPREAD

THROUGHOUT THE MIDDLE EAST.

LET'S STOP THESE DICTATORSHIPS.

LET'S STOP ALL THE VIOLENCE,

ALL THE.

AND THEY ARRANGE FOR THERE

TO BE FREE AND OPEN ELECTIONS

IN GAZA.

WHAT DID THE PEOPLE OF GAZA DO?

THEY ELECTED HAMAS.

THEY ELECTED A TERRORIST GROUP

TO RULE THEM.

AND SO NOW THEY'RE REAPING THAT

AND AND FOR THAT SAME GROUP TO

SAY WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE HERE

FOR YOU, WE'RE GOING TO ALLOW

YOU TO EVACUATE, WE'RE GOING TO

FORCE YOU TO IN THERE IN YOUR

OWN HOMES.

IT'S ABSOLUTELY DIABOLICAL TO

HEAR THEM SAY THE SOLDIERS

THESE YOU KNOW, THE HORRIBLE

INVASION THAT THEY WEREN'T

ORDERED TO TO RAPE THEY ORDERED

TO KILL CHILDREN.

WELL, WE HAVE AN AUDIO

RECORDING THE SAME GROUP SAYING

YES, THIS WAS OUR TACTIC.

THIS WAS ONE OF THE THINGS WE

ORDERED THEM TO DO.

IT'S THEY EXPECT THE WORLD

TO LISTEN TO THEIR LIES AND GO

ALONG WITH IT.

I'VE GOT TO CALL THEM ON IT.

THAT'S A COMPLETE AND TOTAL

LIE.

FOR ON THIS STORY LET'S GO TO

CHRIS MITCHELL, OUR CBN ISRAEL

BUREAU CHIEF.

SO CHRIS, TELL US ABOUT THE

GROUND INVASION.

IT JUST SEEMS TO BE

POTENTIAL FOR CASUALTIES ON

BOTH SIDES.

WHEN I LOOK AT IT, THE U.S.

HASN'T DECIDED.

OUR OUR SPECIAL FORCES AREN'T

UP FOR THE TASK SO IF IF THE

IDF IS GOING TO TREAD IN HERE I

MEAN WHEN NAVY SEALS SAY WE

DON'T WANT TO GO IN.

THIS IS OBVIOUSLY GOING TO BE A

PROLONGED AND HORRIFIC BATTLE.

YEAH, IT SHOULD BE.

GORDON YOU KNOW, HAMAS HAS HAD

YEARS TO BUILD TUNNELS

UNDERNEATH, GAZA CITY TRAPS

AND THAT'S REALLY THE NIGHTMARE

SCENARIO FOR IDF FORCES.

THAT'S WHY TIME AFTER TIME EVEN

THOUGH THEY'VE GONE CONFLICTS

WITH WITH HAMAS, THEY HAVE

AVOIDED A GROUND INVASION.

I THINK 2014 WAS THE ONE

EXCEPTION BECAUSE URBAN WARFARE

IS THE WORST KIND OF WARFARE

AND HAMAS HAS IS ARE THEY'RE

KIND OF MASTERS AT PUTTING

TRAPS IN TUNNELS.

YOU KNOW, I WOULD ALSO SAY,

GORDON, THAT THIS IS NOT THE

FIRST TIME THAT THE IDF AND

ISRAEL HAS WARNED PEOPLE IN

GAZA TO GET OUT OF HARM'S WAY.

TIME AFTER TIME THEY'VE DROPPED

LEAFLETS THEY CALL PEOPLE THEY

SEND TEXT MESSAGES.

THEY D

GET CIVILIANS OUT OF HARM'S WAY

AND YOU KNOW, HAVING HAMAS TELL

PEOPLE TO STAY EVEN THOUGH

THERE MAY BE A BOMBING CAMPAIGN

OR AN INVASION REMINDS ME OF

ISIS BACK IN MOSUL WHEN THE

IRAQI WAS TRYING TO GET ISIS

OUT OF MOSUL.

ACTUALLY WERE SHOOTING

CIVILIANS AS THEY WERE LEAVING.

SO THEY WANTED THEM AS HUMAN

SHIELDS.

AND SO IT'S VERY REMINISCENT

SORT OF ICES WHAT THEY'VE DONE

IN MANY OF THESE COMMUNITIES

AND WHAT THEY'RE DOING TODAY.

WELL, WE'RE LOOKING STRAIGHT

ON THE FACE OF EVIL.

IT'S JUST I DON'T UNDERSTAND

HOW STILL CONSIDERED HUMAN.

IT'S JUST IT'S BEYOND WORDS.

LET'S LOOK AT THE LONG TERM

EFFECTS THE WAR AND I SPEAK AS

AN AMERICAN.

WE HAD 911.

WE WENT INTO AFGHANISTAN, THE

TALIBAN.

THIS IS CLEARLY WHERE THEY WERE

TRAINED AND HOW TO TAKE OVER

AIRPLANES.

ALL OF THAT WAS QUITE EVIDENT

TO THE WHOLE WORLD.

WE HAD A MILITARY OCCUPATION

FOR NOW OVER 20 YEARS.

AND WHEN WE LEFT WHO TAKES OVER

THE TALIBAN ONCE AGAIN?

AND SO ONCE AGAIN AFGHANISTAN

IS BACK UNDER AN EXTREME MUSLIM

GOVERNMENT IT IN UNDER

TERRORISTS CONTROL.

SO LOOKING AT GAZA, WHAT DO YOU

THINK THE LONG TERM EFFECTS

WILL BE?

WELL, I'M NOT SURE ANYONE KNOWS

THAT, GORDON, BUT I CAN SAY

THAT IT'S VERY HARD TO LOOK AT

WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN AFTER

THE CAMPAIGN.

I THINK I CAN REMEMBER BACK TO

1967 WHEN MOSHE DAYAN THEN

ISRAEL'S DEFENSE WAS LOOKING AT

GAZA AND NOT SURE HE REALLY

WANTED TO OCCUPY THAT.

SO IT'S A VERY DIFFICULT

PLACE TO ACTUALLY GOVERN ONCE

YOU ONCE YOU TAKE OVER.

I THINK DOESN'T WANT TO TAKE

OVER.

SO THE LONG TERM EFFECTS OF

THIS ARE STILL YET TO BE FOUND

OUT.

BUT BUT I THINK NOW WE'RE

LOOKING AT THIS CAMPAIGN WHO

KNOWS HOW LONG IT MAY BE

SOMEONE SAYING EARLIER PRAY FOR

A MIRACLE.

I MEAN THERE WAS A MIRACLE IN

1967 IN THE SIX-DAY WAR.

PERHAPS HIS CAMPAIGN CAN BE

SHORTER AND LESS DEADLY ON BOTH

SIDES.

THAT CERTAINLY WOULD BE A

WELCOME RELIEF AFTER SO MUCH

CARNAGE IN THE LAST SIX DAYS.

BUT WE ARE LOOKING AT THE

IMMINENT INVASION AND I WOULD

ADD, GORDON, THIS IS THE FRONT

PAGE OF TODAY'S JERUSALEM POST

THAT SAYS ISRAEL WHICH IS THE

PEOPLE OF ISRAEL WILL WIN.

I DON'T THINK I'VE SEEN

ISRAELIS SO UNIFIED RIGHT NOW

IN MANY WAYS YOU HAVE

RESTAURANTS COOKING FOOD FOR

SOLDIERS ON THE FRONT LINES.

YOU HAVE PEOPLE DOING ANYTHING

AND EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO SHOW

SUPPORT FOR THEIR SOLDIERS ON

THE FRONT LINES.

AND AGAIN, I'VE SAID BEFORE

THIS IS A FAMILY.

ISRAEL IS A FAMILY.

360 RESERVISTS HAVE BEEN CALLED

UP SO ALMOST EVERYONE HAS

INVOLVED IN THIS WAR.

IT COULD BE A SON OR DAUGHTER,

A FATHER, A MOTHER IN THE ARMY,

A COUSIN, A FRIEND.

AND SO ARE SO UNIFIED RIGHT

NOW.

THEY WANT TO ERADICATE THIS

EVIL ONCE AND FOR ALL.

IN THE SAME TIME THEY WANT TO

SAVE PALESTINIAN LIVES.

WELL, WHAT CAN YOU TELL US

ABOUT THE DAY OF?

I HEAR THAT THERE'S ALREADY

BEEN AN ATTACK IN PARIS, THIS

WORLDWIDE CALL FOR A DAY OF

RAGE, A DAY OF.

WHAT ARE YOU HEARING IN

JERUSALEM?

WELL, THAT WAS THE CALL BY A

FORMER HAMAS LEADER WHO LED

MICHEL AND HE HAD SAID THIS IS

A DAY OF RAGE.

IT'S FRIDAY.

THIS IS THE DAY OF PRAYER FOR

FOUR MUSLIMS WORLDWIDE AND HE

WAS RALLYING THEM AROUND A THAT

HAS GONE BACK OVER 100 YEARS

WHICH IS SAVE THE AL-AQSA

MOSQUE HERE IN JERUSALEM.

IT'S THE THIRD HOLIEST SITE FOR

MANY MUSLIMS IN THEIR RELIGION

AND THE CALL AND THE THE

ACCUSATION IS WHAT THEY'RE

DOING WHAT ISRAEL IS DOING IS

UNDERMINING OR GOING TO DESTROY

THE AL-AQSA MOSQUE.

BACK HUSSEINI BACK IN THE 1920S

THAT WAS THE BEGINNING OF THE

CALL.

IT'S LASTED EVER SINCE.

SO FAR IT'S BEEN QUIET HERE IN

JERUSALEM.

THERE WAS A THAT ATTACK IN

PARIS.

BUT THE WHOLE IDEA IS TO RALLY

MUSLIMS AROUND WHAT HAMAS HAS

DONE IN THE RIGHT THERE IN

ISRAEL.

AND WOULD ALSO SAY THAT THE

ROCKETS ARE STILL GOING HERE

GORDON.

THERE WAS A ROCKET THAT WENT TO

HUNDREDS THAT HAS A 250

KILOMETER BUT 150 MILE RANGE.

IT HIT ALL THE WAY TO HAIFA.

SO EVEN THOUGH THERE'S A

BOMBING CAMPAIGN GOING ON BY

IDF TWO AGAINST GAZA, THEY'RE

STILL FIRING ROCKETS STILL IN

NEAR THE SOUTHERN COMMUNITIES

AND ALL THE WAY TO HAIFA.

WELL, THEY CALL THE INVASION

THE AL-AQSA FLOOD AND IT'S A I

JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW YOU

CAN KILL BABIES AND CLAIM THAT

YOU'RE DOING IT IN THE NAME OF

GOD.

JUST KNOW.

AND I DON'T THAT AT ALL, CHRIS.

THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT.

THANKS FOR YOUR.

WE'RE CERTAINLY GOING TO BE

PRAYING FOR YOU AND THE ENTIRE

TEAM THERE MAY STAY SAFE.

THANK YOU.

LET ME UNDERLINE ANOTHER PIECE

OF HISTORY.

IN MY VIEW THE PALESTINIAN

PEOPLE ARE ESSENTIALLY ON

GOVERNABLE.

SO YOU HEARD ABOUT MOSHE DAYAN

SAYING WE CAN'T POSSIBLY GOVERN

THEM IN GAZA.

IT DOESN'T WORK.

ALL THE ARAB NATIONS AROUND

ISRAEL HAVE REFUSED THE THEY

THEY SAY NO, YOU CAN'T COME IN

.

AND PART OF THAT IS WHEN THE

PALESTINIANS COME IN THEY TRY

OVERTHROW THE GOVERNMENT OF THE

HOST COUNTRY.

SO THEY THAT IN JORDAN AND THEY

TRIED TO OVERTHROW THE KING AND

REPLACE HIM WITH A RADICAL

PALESTINIAN GOVERNMENT.

THAT CAUSED JORDAN TO SAY WELL,

IF THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO

DO HERE, WE'RE GOING TO THROW

YOU OUT.

AND WHERE DID THEY GO?

THEY WENT TO LEBANON WHICH USED

TO BE THE JEWEL THE

MEDITERRANEAN.

IT USED TO BE A SHOWCASE WHERE

MUSLIMS AND CHRISTIANS AND JEWS

AND YOU KNOW, EVERY RELIGION

CAN ALL ALONG WE CAN ALL HAVE A

GOVERNMENT TOGETHER.

WHAT HAPPENED?

WELL, IT TURNED INTO AN

ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE AND THEY

FORMED TERRORIST CELLS AND IT

TURNED INTO PARTIZAN FIGHTING

ON RELIGIOUS GROUNDS AND

LEBANON IS ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED

TODAY.

SO WHEN YOU SEE THE EVIDENCE

OF IT, WHEN YOU SEE WHAT PEOPLE

ARE REALLY LIKE OR LET'S

BELIEVE THEM THE FIRST TIME WE

SEE IT, WHY DOES IT TAKE

DECADES OF SEEING IT TO FINALLY

WAKE UP?

THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM AND NOT

JUST A PROBLEM FOR ISRAEL.

IT'S A PROBLEM FOR OF US

BECAUSE AFTER ISRAEL WHO IS

THEIR NEXT TARGET?

WELL, IT'S YOU AND ME AND

THEY'VE ALREADY DECLARED THAT.

WELL, A BIPARTISAN GROUP OF

LAWMAKERS FROM THE US MET WITH

PRIME MINISTER NETANYAHU IN

ISRAEL THIS WEEK.

THEY SHOWED SOLIDARITY WITH THE

ISRAELIS BY SUPPORTING THEM

AGAINST THE HORRIFIC ATTACKS

FROM HAMAS.

ONE SENATOR ON THAT TRIP SPOKE

WITH CBN, MATT GORKA AFTER

ARRIVING BACK IN THE UNITED

STATES.

WE HAVE SPENT THE DAY IN

ISRAEL MEETING WITH A NUMBER OF

AFFECTED FAMILIES AND SPEAKING

WITH LEADERS IOWA SENATOR JONI

ERNST TRAVELED TO ISRAEL JUST

DAYS AFTER THE BRUTAL ATTACK

FROM HAMAS.

SHE LED A BIPARTISAN

CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION TO,

THE MIDDLE EAST THAT FIRST MET

WITH LEADERS IN SAUDI ARABIA

AND BAHRAIN.

I WAS VERY ADAMANT ABOUT

CONTINUING OUR TRIP INTO TO

SHOW SOLIDARITY WITH ISRAELI

LEADERS AND THE PEOPLE OF

ISRAEL AGAINST THESE HAMAS

ATTACKS BRUTAL, VIOLENT

ATTACKS.

THE SENATOR ALONG WITH TWO

HOUSE REPUBLICANS AND THREE

DEMOCRATS TALKED WITH NETANYAHU

ABOUT HELPING IN THE FIGHT THE

PRIME MINISTER SHARED WITH US

DIFFERENT DIFFERENT THAT THEY

MIGHT NEED AND OF COURSE WE

NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE

RECONSTITUTING THE IRON DOME AS

THE NUMBER OF DEAD AND WOUNDED

CONTINUES TO RISE.

EARNED SAYS THE CONVERSATIONS

WITH SURVIVORS STILL STICK WITH

HER.

SHE MET AN ISRAELI FAMILY THAT

DEFENDED THEMSELVES AS HAMAS

TERRORISTS INVADED THEIR FARM.

THE HAMAS SAYS THEY INVADED

THE HOME, BOUGHT SOME VERY

PRECIOUS TIME FOR THEIR MOTHER

TO ESCAPE BUT THEIR BROTHER WAS

MURDERED IN THIS ATTACK AS

WELL.

THEY HAVE NO IDEA THEIR FATHER

IS THEY DON'T KNOW HIS

CONDITION IF HE'S EVEN STILL

ALIVE.

ERNST AND A GROWING NUMBER

OF REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS

HAVE PUSHED THE BIDEN

ADMINISTRATION TO FREEZE $6

BILLION RELEASED TO IRAN AS

PART OF A SWAP DEAL.

AS ACCUSATIONS FLY ABOUT IRAN'S

POSSIBLE IN ISRAEL, PRESSURE

HAS GROWN LEADING TO REPORTS

THAT MONEY AGAIN FROZEN

ALTHOUGH WHITE HOUSE OFFICIALS

WON'T ACKNOWLEDGE IT PUBLICLY.

I'M NOT GOING TO TALK ABOUT

DIPLOMATIC CONVERSATIONS ONE

WAY OR ANOTHER AND WHAT I CAN

TELL YOU IS THAT EVERY SINGLE

DIME OF THAT MONEY IS STILL

SITTING IN A COUNTRY BANK.

NOT ONE OF IT NOT ONE DIME OF

IT HAS BEEN SPENT EARNED SAYS

PRESSURE MUST REMAIN ON THE

BIDEN ADMINISTRATION TO IRANIAN

SANCTIONS.

THIS DEAL NEVER SHOULD HAVE

HAPPENED IN THE FIRST PLACE AND

NOW I HAVE BEEN HIGHLY CRITICAL

OF THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION FOR

CONTINUING TO APPEASE IRAN.

WE KNOW THEY ARE THE LARGEST

STATE SPONSOR OF TERROR SO THEY

FUND ORGANIZATIONS LIKE HAMAS

AND HEZBOLLAH THE HOUTHIS AND

THEY THEY CREATE IN THE MIDDLE

EAST.

IRAN FEARS.

AND SO THEY CONTINUE TO ENGAGE

IN THESE TYPES OF TERROR

ATTACKS AGAINST OUR FRIEND AND

ALLY ISRAEL.

SENATOR ERNST ALSO SAID THAT

THE LACK OF A SPEAKER OF THE

HOUSE IN CONGRESS WAS WORRISOME

BECAUSE IT PREVENTS UNITED

STATES FROM PROVIDING ANY SORT

OF CONGRESSIONAL AID.

SHE SAID THAT

MET WITH IN THE MIDDLE EAST WAS

CONCERNED ABOUT THE SITUATION.

MATT GORKA, CBN NEWS.

WELL, WE WANT YOU TO KNOW THE

TRUTH BEHIND THE JEWISH AND

ARAB CLAIMS TO THE LAND OF

ISRAEL.

SO WE PUT TOGETHER A DVD THAT

GIVES THE HISTORIC BACKGROUND

TO THE NEWS YOU'RE SEEING

TODAY.

IT'S CALLED WHOSE LAND IS

IT?

IT HAS THE ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS

SUCH AS WHETHER NOT GAZA AND

THE WEST BANK ARE QUOTE

OCCUPIED TERRITORY CLOSE QUOTE.

WHY THE PALESTINIAN REFUGEE

CRISIS STILL REMAINS A PROBLEM

TODAY MORE THAN 70 YEARS AFTER

THE 1948 WAR.

WELL, YOU CAN RECEIVE A DVD

COPY OF WHOSE LAND IS IT?

AS FOR A GIFT ANY DOLLAR

AMOUNT.

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS GO TO CBN

ICON SLASH WHOSE LAND.

OR CALL US ONE 800 707,000

PLATFORMS ISRAEL IS GOING TO

OBLITERATE HAMAS.

WELL THAT'S THE ASSESSMENT OF

FORMER US AMBASSADOR TO DAVID

FRIEDMAN.

CBN'S DAVID BRODY SPOKE TO

FRIEDMAN ABOUT THE IMPACT OF

THE WAR AND WHAT IT MEANS FOR

THE FUTURE OF THE MIDDLE EAST.

BENJAMIN NETANYAHU IS SAID

THAT HAMAS'S ATTACK WOULD

CHANGE THE MIDDLE.

I'M WONDERING WHAT HE MEANT BY

THAT.

HOW DO YOU SEE THE ROAD MAP

FORWARD NOW?

WELL, I THINK ISRAEL HAS

BEEN IN BATTLES WITH HAMAS FOR

COUPLE OF DECADES, AS YOU KNOW

AND THE WAY THEY'VE LOOKED AT

IT IN THE PAST HAS BEEN TO

MANAGE THE CONFLICT.

I THINK THOSE ARE THE WORDS

THAT THEY USE TO DEGRADE HAMAS,

SEND IT BACK A COUPLE OF YEARS

AND THEN REVISIT THE ISSUE

LATER NOW.

EVERYTHING IS NOW CHANGED

BECAUSE.

THIS ATTACK BY HAMAS AS OTHERS

HAVE SAID AS I'VE SAID TIMES

THAT THE GREATEST MOST BARBARIC

ASSAULT ON THE JEWISH PEOPLE

SINCE THE HOLOCAUST.

THIS CHANGES THE EQUATION.

WHAT THIS TELLS ISRAEL AND THE

WORLD IS THAT IT CAN NO LONGER

MANAGE THIS CONFLICT.

IT CAN NO LONGER DEGRADE HAMAS,

DECLARE CEASE FIRE AND GO BACK

TO ITS BUSINESS.

THEY HAVE TO END HAMAS.

THEY HAVE TO DESTROY HAMAS.

IT'S TO OBLITERATE HAMAS AND.

AND THAT'S A DIFFERENT

THAT'S A DIFFERENT APPROACH AND

IT'S THE RIGHT APPROACH AND

THEY'RE GOING TO SUCCEED IN

DOING IT.

AND I THINK WHEN THEY DO

UNDERSTAND THAT THIS MIDDLE

EAST, THEIR COMMON ENEMIES I

MEAN PART OF THE ABRAHAM

ACCORDS WHEN WE PUT THAT

TOGETHER WAS WAS BUILT UPON THE

FACT, YOU KNOW, WHETHER IT'S

ISRAEL OR UAE OR BAHRAIN AND

MOROCCO, ALL OF THESE NATIONS

ARE BATTLING RADICAL ISLAMIST

EXTREMISTS.

AND AND THIS IS GOING TO BE THE

BEGINNING OF THE END OF THEM

BECAUSE WHETHER IT'S HAMAS OR

THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD OR,

ISLAMIC, I THINK IT WILL IT

WILL DRAW OUT AND ULTIMATELY

THESE EXTREMISTS THROUGHOUT THE

REGION.

WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT HAMAS

BEING ELIMINATED, WHAT DOES

THAT LOOK LIKE ON THE GROUND IN

GAZA?

I MEAN LITERALLY THEY'RE GOING

TO GO IS THE AUDIENCE GOING TO

GO INTO OBVIOUSLY GAZA GOING

INTO GAZA?

WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE FROM

SAY SECURING THE GAZA AREA AS

IT RELATES TO CONTROL THEN THEY

WILL BE THEN IN CONTROL ON THE

GROUND IN GAZA.

HOW DO YOU SEE THIS PLAYING

OUT SPECIFICALLY?

LOOK, IT'S A WAR.

I MEAN I THINK YOU LOOK AT IT

YOU KNOW, WE'VE HAD WARS IN OUR

HISTORY AND WE SORT OF HAVE A

TEMPLATE FOR THAT.

LOOK, LOOK, I'M LOOKING SORT OF

HEAD AT WORLD WAR TWO.

WHAT HAPPENS GERMANY, THE

AMERICA AND THE ALLIES DEFEATED

GERMANY THEY GOT RID OF ALL THE

NAZIS.

THEY THEY THEY CLEANED IT AS

BEST THEY COULD AND THEY HELD

IT FOR A WHILE UNTIL THEY WERE

ABLE TURN IT OVER TO PEOPLE

THAT THEY COULD TRUST TO BE

PEACEFUL AND IT ACTUALLY WAS

VERY SUCCESSFUL.

WE OBVIOUSLY VERY GOOD

RELATIONS NOW WITH GERMANY,

GREAT RELATIONS WITH JAPAN.

THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO CLEAN

OUT THIS AREA, RID IT OF

RADICAL ISLAMIC EXTREMISM BY

THE WAY, AT THE END OF THE DAY

YOU KNOW THE REAL WINNERS ARE

THE REAL WINNERS ARE THE PEOPLE

OF GAZA BECAUSE THEY WILL HAVE

BEEN LIBERATED FROM THESE THIS

OPPRESSIVE REGIME.

AND KNOW HOW LONG IT TAKES TO

THEN HOLD IT AND YOU KNOW, KIND

OF IT AND RESUSCITATED.

I DON'T KNOW.

BUT I CAN TELL THIS ISRAEL

DOESN'T WANT IT.

ISRAEL HAS NO TERRITORIAL

ASPIRATIONS HERE.

WHAT ISRAEL WANTS IS JUST A

QUIET BORDER AND THEY'LL HOLD

IT AS LONG AS THEY NEED TO TO

IN THAT QUIET BORDER.

WHAT SHOULD ISRAEL DO WITH

IRAN AT THIS POINT?

I KNOW THEY HAVE THEIR HANDS

FULL RIGHT NOW THEY'RE DEALING

WITH HAMAS.

BUT WHAT ABOUT HEZBOLLAH IN THE

NORTH?

WHAT HAPPENS AT THAT POINT IF

HEZBOLLAH WE'VE ALREADY SEEN

SOME MINOR I GUESS INCURSIONS

TO A DEGREE BUT THEY HAVE THE

TUNNELS, THE TERROR.

WHAT HAPPENS IF HEZBOLLAH

STRIKES FROM THE NORTH?

HOW DOES THAT CHANGE EVERYTHING

ESPECIALLY AS IT RELATES TO

IRAN AND POTENTIALLY AMERICA'S

INVOLVEMENT AT THAT POINT?

WELL, WE'LL HAVE TO SEE.

I MEAN I HOPE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN

AND THERE'S NO GOOD REASON YOU

KNOW, AS I AS I TRY TO PUT

MYSELF IN HEZBOLLAH'S SHOES

WHICH IS AWFULLY DIFFICULT TO

DO BUT AS I THINK IT YOU KNOW,

IRAN WHICH IS ULTIMATELY

CALLING ALL THE SHOTS HERE IRAN

ACHIEVED I THINK ALL THAT IT

COULD POSSIBLY HAVE ASKED FOR

IN THIS PROXY WAR THROUGH

HAMAS.

I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY WOULD

WANT TO JEOPARDIZE HEZBOLLAH'S

ASSETS AND ULTIMATELY TURN I

THINK THE PEOPLE OF LEBANON

AGAINST HEZBOLLAH BECAUSE IT

WOULD RESULT I BELIEVE IN A

BASICALLY ISRAEL I THINK WOULD

FLATTEN LEBANON AND I BELIEVE

THEY CAN AND I WOULDN'T I WOULD

UNDERESTIMATE UNDERESTIMATE THE

RESOLVE OF THE IDF THAT THEY

WILL WIN THIS.

AND I THINK HEZBOLLAH KNOWS

THAT IF THEY DO ENTER THE WAR

OF COURSE IS GOING TO ENGENDER

A COMPLEXITY AS TO.

LOOK, WE GOT TO STOP APPEASING

IRAN.

I MEAN THIS IS THIS IS BASIC

STUFF.

I MEAN, YOU KNOW, AT THE VERY

SAME TIME THAT THE UNITED

STATES AND IRAN ARE NEGOTIATING

A PRISONER AND AMERICA IS

FREEING UP $6 BILLION TO SHOW

AMERICA GOOD FAITH AS IF

AMERICA IS THE ONE BETWEEN TWO

PARTIES TO SHOW ITS GOOD FAITH

AT THE VERY SAME TIME IRAN AND

HAMAS ARE PLANNING THIS ATTACK

AND WE SHOULD TAKE THESE

SANCTIONS UP AS FAR AS THEY CAN

GO.

AMBASSADOR FRIEDMAN,

APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.

CERTAINLY AGREE WE SHOULD NOT

APPEASE AROUND ANYMORE.

IT HAS ECHOES OF GREAT

BRITAIN AND IN OUR TIME AND ALL

OF THAT AND THEN THE HORROR

THAT CAME WE SHOULDN'T BE

APPEASING WE SHOULDN'T BE

ENABLING WE NEED TO BE STANDING

STRONG AND STANDING STRONG WITH

ISRAEL AS WE MENTIONED EARLIER,

WE WANT YOU TO KNOW THE REAL

FACTS ABOUT AND THE REAL FACTS

ABOUT HAMAS.

THE PALESTINIANS GET TRUTH

BEHIND THE CLAIMS.

IN OUR DVD SERIES IT'S CALLED

LAND IS IT?

AND YOU CAN RECEIVE A DVD COPY

WELL AS INSTANT STREAMING

ACCESS FOR WHOSE LAND IS IT FOR

A GIFT OF ANY DOLLAR AMOUNT.

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS GO TO CBN

ICON SLASH WHOSE LAND OR CALL

US ONE 800 707,000.

DESIGNATE GIFT TO CBN ISRAEL.

LET'S HELP PEOPLE IN NEED AND.

LET'S DO IT RIGHT NOW.

ONE 800 707,000 CHARLIE.

DR. LEE WARREN IS A

NEUROSURGEON AND A VETERAN

COMBAT SURGEON OF THE IRAQ WAR.

HAS SEEN DEVASTATING TRAUMA

REPEATEDLY OVER THE YEARS YET

COULD HAVE PREPARED HIM FOR THE

MASSIVE TRAGEDY THAT HIS HOME.

DR. LEE WARREN IS A FATHER

OF FIVE WHOSE LIFE WAS

SHATTERED BY THE TRAGIC DEATH

OF HIS SON MITCH IN 2013.

MITCH AND A FRIEND BOTH FOUND

DEAD BY STABBING.

LEARNING HOW LIVE AGAIN AFTER

MASSIVE TRAUMA SEEMS

INCONCEIVABLE.

BUT DR. WARREN SAYS IT'S

ABSOLUTELY POSSIBLE.

IN A NEW BOOK HOPE IS THE FIRST

DOSE DR. WARREN PRESCRIBES HOPE

AS A TREATMENT PLAN AND

TESTIFIES TO GOD'S TO HEAL EVEN

IN THE DEEPEST HEARTACHE.

AND PLEASE WELCOME BACK TO

THE 700 CLUB DR. LEE WARREN,

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING

WITH US TODAY.

SO GREAT TO BE BACK, CHARLIE

AND THANKS FOR HAVING ME.

FIRST OF ALL, WE WANT TO TALK

ABOUT THE ATROCITIES THAT WE'RE

SEEING IN ISRAEL RIGHT NOW.

YOU IN COMBAT IN IRAQ.

TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE

TRAGEDY, THE TRAUMA THAT

SOLDIERS AND CIVILIANS ARE

FACING RIGHT NOW.

YEAH, THAT REMAINS THE HARDEST

THING THAT I'VE SEEN WITH MY

EYES IS HOW PEOPLE WITH THESE

TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCES WE'VE HAD

GENERATIONAL TRAUMA REALLY THAT

HAPPENS AFTER THESE EVENTS.

SO PEOPLE FACING THINGS THAT

ARE HAPPENING TO THEM NOW THAT

THEY'LL NEVER GET OVER.

AND SO IT'S IMPORTANT TO REMAIN

PRAYERFUL AND COMPASSIONATE

BECAUSE THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE

JUST A SHORT EVENT IN THEIR

LIVES.

SWITCHING GEARS TO TALK

ABOUT YOU PERSONALLY.

YOU CALL TRAUMA THE MASSIVE

THING TMT AND YOU EXPERIENCED

SOMETHING IN 2013 IN YOUR

PERSONAL LIFE.

TALK ABOUT THE TRAGEDY THAT HIT

YOUR.

YEAH, WE LOST OUR SON MITCH

WHO WAS 19 IN A DEVASTATING

EVENT.

HE AND HIS BEST WERE BOTH

KILLED AND THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF

THAT EVENT NEVER REALLY MADE

CLEAR TO US AND NO ONE EVER

REALLY FIGURED OUT WHAT

HAPPENED AND SO WE HAD A

SITUATION WHERE GOD PUT

SOMETHING IN OUR LIVES THERE

WAS NO ANSWER TO AND NO ABILITY

TO EVEN FIND OUT THE ANSWERS

TO.

SO REALLY THE AFTERMATH OF THAT

HAS SORT OF REDEFINED FAMILY

AND OUR FAITH AND IT TOOK US

YEARS TO FIND OUR FEET AND OUR

HOPE.

SO POLICE REALLY DIDN'T COME

TO ANY TYPE OF CONCLUSION AS TO

WHAT REALLY HAPPENED WITH YOUR

SON, HIS FRIEND WHO WERE FOUND

DEAD.

THEY MADE A SORT OF A QUICK

JUDGMENT OF WHAT THOUGHT

HAPPENED.

THERE WERE A LOT OF QUESTIONS

REMAINING US.

THERE WAS A IT WAS CONSIDERED A

MURDER SUICIDE.

WE'VE BEEN COMFORTABLE WITH

THAT ANSWER MENTIONED THIS

FRIEND.

WE'RE BEST FRIENDS FOR YEARS

AND.

NEITHER ONE MORE VIOLENT AND WE

JUST WE CAN'T REALLY BELIEVE

THE OFFICIAL STORY.

WOW.

YOU KNOW, THIS IS SOMETHING IS

A NIGHTMARE FOR EVERY PARENT.

HOW DID YOU AND YOUR WIFE LISA

COPE WITH THE GRIEF OF LOSING

YOUR SON.

SO THE FIRST THING THAT HAPPENS

IS SHOCK.

YOU KNOW, THEY TALK ABOUT

DENIAL, WHICH IS TRUE.

AND THEN FOR A WHILE YOU

QUESTION FAITH AND AND

FORTUNATELY FOR US WE HELD ON

TO EACH OTHER AND THE THINGS

THAT WE HAD DECIDED YEARS

BEFORE THAT WE BELIEVED ABOUT

GOD TURNED OUT BE TRUE.

WE KNEW HE WAS WITH US WHEN WE

WERE BROKEN HEARTED AND WE KNEW

HE WAS SHOWING UP IN WAYS

THROUGH OTHER PEOPLE AND AND

THROUGH SCRIPTURE AND IN PRAYER

AND EVENTUALLY WE FOUND OUR

LIGHT AGAIN AND FOUND OUR HOPE

AGAIN.

YOU TALK IN YOUR BOOK ABOUT

GRIEF AND HOW IT CAN SOMETIMES

BECOME AN IDOL.

YES.

WHAT DID YOU LEARN FROM THAT?

WELL, I HAD A DEAR FRIEND, A

CHAPLAIN WHO CAME ALONGSIDE ME

AND IT REMINDED ME OF THINGS I

HAD SEEN BEFORE WHEN PEOPLE GO

THROUGH HARD THINGS LIKE BRAIN

CANCER AND LOSING THINGS THAT

SOME OF US SORT OF ALLOW WORLD

TO BECOME DEFINED BY THE

CIRCUMSTANCE THAT WE'VE FACED.

AND OVER TIME THAT CAN BECOME

BIGGER THAN GOD EVEN IF THE

THING THAT YOU'VE GONE IS THE

BIGGEST THING THAT YOU CAN SEE

IF IT BECOMES THE ONLY THING

THAT YOUR LIFE IS ABOUT THEN IT

BECOMES AN IDOL AND BECOMES

IMPOSSIBLE FOR EVEN GOD TO

SPEAK INTO THAT SITUATION.

AND SO WE HAD TO LEARN THAT GOD

CAN COME ALONGSIDE YOU AND OVER

TIME HELP YOU SORT OF TRANSFORM

THE WAY YOU SEE THOSE MASSIVE

EVENTS AS THINGS THAT HAPPEN IN

YOUR LIFE BUT NOT THE THING

THAT HAPPENS IN YOUR LIFE.

NOW YOU ARE A NEUROSURGEON.

YES.

HOW DOES TRAUMA AFFECT OUR

BRAINS.

TALK ABOUT.

SO THE FIRST THING THAT HAPPENS

IS TRAUMA AND MAKES YOUR BRAIN

FEEL A LOT OF THINGS AND YOU

HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT FEELINGS

AREN'T FACTS FEELINGS ARE

CHEMICAL EVENTS THAT OCCUR IN

YOUR BRAIN.

AND SOMETIMES FEELINGS TELL THE

TRUTH.

SOMETIMES THEY POINT AWAY FROM

THE TRUTH.

AND SO I TEACH THIS PROCEDURE.

I CALL THE THOUGHT BIOPSY WHERE

YOU LEARN TO PUT A LITTLE SPACE

BETWEEN THE FEELING AND THE

REALITY OF WHAT'S ACTUALLY

HAPPENING SO YOU CAN LEARN HOW

TO GET YOUR THOUGHTS UNDER

CONTROL WHICH THE BIBLE TOLD US

A LONG TIME AGO IS CORINTHIANS

TEN FIVE ABOUT TAKING YOUR

THOUGHTS CAPTIVE AND BECAUSE WE

KNOW THAT FEELINGS AND THOUGHTS

AREN'T ACTUALLY TRUE THE TIME

THEN WE HAVE TO LEARN TO ASSESS

THEM AND DECIDE IF THEY'RE

TRUE.

AND THAT'S WHAT PAUL'S TALKING

ABOUT IN ROMANS 12 WHEN HE SAYS

TO DON'T LET YOUR WORLD CONFORM

YOU TO WAY IT WANTS YOU TO

THINK BUT TRANSFORM YOUR

THINKING AND THAT'S HOW YOU CAN

CHARGE AGAIN AND THAT'S THAT'S

WHAT WE FOUND IS THE WAY TO GET

OUR FEET BACK UNDER US IS TO

LEARN TO STOP LISTENING TO

THOSE LIES THAT TRAUMA TELLS

YOU THIS WILL NEVER BE OKAY.

I'LL NEVER GET OVER THIS.

GOD MUST NOT LOVE ME.

THOSE THINGS AREN'T TRUE BUT

THEY SOUND VERY LOUD AND VERY

TRUE THEY FEEL VERY TRUE RIGHT

AFTER TRAUMA SO TAKE CONTROL.

WOW THAT'S POWERFUL.

AND AS SOMEONE WHO HAS WALKED

THROUGH TRAUMA YOU KNOW EXACTLY

WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

ALSO YOU GIVE SOME REALLY

PRACTICAL WAYS PEOPLE TO COPE

WITH TRAUMA.

WHAT ARE SOME OF THOSE WAYS FOR

THOSE WHO ARE WATCHING TODAY

THAT THEY CAN PRACTICALLY APPLY

TO THEIR LIVES RIGHT NOW?

WELL, I THINK THE FIRST

THING IS TO MAKE DECISIONS EVEN

NOW IF YOU'RE NOT GOING THROUGH

SOMETHING HARD, MAKE SOME

DECISIONS WHO IS GOD.

PUT SOME THINGS IN YOUR HEART

SO YOU CAN CALL THEM BACK MIND.

THAT'S WHAT I KEPT SAYING AS I

WAS LOOKING AT TRAUMA AS I WAS

LOOKING BACK TO THE BIBLE AND

PEOPLE LIKE DAVID AND THE GUY

WHO WROTE LAMENTATION OF WHAT

THEY HAD BEEN THROUGH AND THEY

ALL MAKE A DECISION IN THE

MIDDLE OF THEIR EVENT TO CHANGE

THEIR MINDS ABOUT IT AND THEY

CALL BACK TO MIND THINGS THAT

THEY LEARNED ABOUT GOD AND THE

THINGS THAT THEY BELIEVE.

SO WHEN TRAUMA'S LYING TO YOU

YOU CAN TAKE THE HIGH GROUND

AND TURN THAT THOUGHT BACK

AROUND DECIDE GOD'S REALLY WITH

ME NOW HE DOES HE IS CLOSE TO

THE BROKEN HEART AND HE WILL

RISE TO SHOW ME COMPASSION AND

YOU START GAINING AGAIN AND

STOP LISTENING TO THOSE LIES

AND AND SO PRACTICALLY SPEAKING

PUT SOME THINGS IN YOUR HEART

THAT YOU WON'T FORGET EVEN WHEN

THE PRESSURE'S ON AND THEN YOU

CAN BEGIN TO TO TAKE CHARGE

AGAIN.

POWERFUL STUFF, DR. WARREN,

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING

WITH US TODAY.

GOD BLESS YOU.

AND DR. WARREN'S BOOK IS CALLED

HOPE IS THE FIRST DOSE AND IT'S

AVAILABLE NATIONWIDE.

WHILE MAUI'S DEADLY WILDFIRES

HAVE FADED FROM THE HEADLINES,

THE ROAD TO RECOVERY REMAINS

FRONT PAGE NEWS FOR THOSE WHO

LOST EVERYTHING.

SAFE HOUSING IS AMONG THE NEEDS

AND OPERATION BLESSING IS

HELPING TO MEET IT.

TRUCKS TRAVELED FIVE DAYS AND

THOUSANDS OF MILES TO MAKE THE

COAST TO COAST DELIVERY.

OUR EFFORT GRAHAM CAUGHT UP

WITH THE TEAM AS THEY ARRIVED

IN LONG BEACH.

YOU COULD CALL THIS A

CARAVAN OF HOPE OPERATION

BLESSING FLATBEDS ARRIVING AT

THIS LONG BEACH SHIPPING CENTER

AHEAD OF.

DELIVERING AN ANSWER TO MANY

PRAYERS.

I THINK THIS IS PROBABLY THE

FIRST UNDERTAKING OF MODULAR

HOMES EVER HAPPENED.

I AM NOT AWARE OF FOUR HOMES

TRAVELING 12 TIME ZONES QUITE

LITERALLY.

JOHN CRONIN RUNS THE COMPANY

BUILT THE PRE-WIRED POP UP

HOMES IN HUNGARY.

THEY ARRIVED NEW JERSEY DAYS

AGO WHERE OPERATION BLESSING'S

TRUCKS PICKED THEM UP FOR THIS

LEG OF THE JOURNEY.

WHAT WHAT'S BEHIND IS 90 MORE

UNITS THAT ARE TRAVELING TO AND

TRAVELING TO MAUI AND WE HAVE

GENEROUS SUPPORT OF OPERATION

BLESSING OUR PARTNERS FROM

VANGUARD LOGISTICS.

EACH TRUCK CAN CARRY AS MANY AS

TEN UNITS THAT IS ESSENTIALLY

TEN HOMES.

AND ONCE THEY ARRIVE AT THEIR

FINAL DESTINATION EACH CAN BE

ASSEMBLED IN AS LITTLE AS 5 TO

10 MINUTES AND STAND READY TO

BE USED.

AND HERE'S WHAT THE HOMES WILL

LOOK LIKE ONCE THEY ARRIVE AND

ARE ASSEMBLED IN MAUI AT THE

FAMILY LIFE CENTER'S NEW OHANA

HOPE VILLAGE WHERE NEARLY 250

PEOPLE WILL LIVE THERE AMONG

THE THOUSANDS DISPLACED BY THE

MAUI WILDFIRE.

FAMILIES COMING OUT OF TRAUMA

THEY DESERVE PRIVACY OF AND

KITCHENS AND WHAT WE'VE BEEN

CALLING AS A TEMPORARY WITH A

HOME LIKE FEEL.

DR. ASHLEY KELLEY TRAVELED FROM

MAUI TO LONG BEACH TO SEE THE

HOMES ARRIVE.

KELLEY HAS BEEN WORKING NONSTOP

SINCE THE DISASTER.

THIS IS MORE A JOB.

IN MY YOUTH I SPENT SOME

TIME ON THE STREETS.

I WAS IN A BAD PLACE IN MY LIFE

AND WAS THERE BY MY OWN CHOICE

.

BUT I SAW WHAT THE STREETS WERE

LIKE AND I SAW PEOPLE WHO THERE

NOT BY THEIR OWN CHOICE.

AND THESE FAMILIES THEY

DESERVE THAT AND I WANT TO MAKE

SURE THAT THEY HAVE SOMETHING

THAT REALLY FEELS LIKE HOME.

IT'S ALSO A PERSONAL PASSION

BEHIND WORK ON THIS HOUSING

PROJECT.

HE GREW UP IN UKRAINE.

I WAS A FIRE SURVIVOR MYSELF

IN A VERY YOUNG AGE.

I WAS PULLED OUT FROM THE

BURNING BUILDING WITH MY MOM

WITH UNCONSCIOUS MOM AND THE

BUILDING LITERALLY COLLAPSED

LIKE FEW MINUTES AFTER.

AFTER WE WERE PULLED OUT.

AND SO I LIVED ALL MY LIFE

TRAUMATIZED BY THAT BY THE FIRE

THAT THAT HAS SPANNED FROM FROM

ALL OVER THE GENERATIONS.

AND SO WHEN WE HEARD THAT THERE

WAS A FIRE I KNEW I KNEW

EXACTLY WHAT THOSE FAMILIES ARE

GOING THROUGH.

WHEN THE SHELTERS SHIPPED

FROM LONG TO THE PEOPLE OF

MAUI, THEY DELIVERED MORE THAN

JUST A HOME TO THOSE NEED.

THEY'LL ALSO DELIVER CARDS

WITH MESSAGES OF HOPE GIVEN TO

THE DRIVERS FROM OPERATION

BLESSING IN PLACES LIKE

OKLAHOMA AND NORTH CAROLINA.

TAKE THIS ONE FROM A SEVEN YEAR

OLD WHO WRITES I HOPE GOD

BLESSES TO FIND SOMEWHERE SAFE.

EPHREM GRAHAM, CBN NEWS LONG

BEACH, CALIFORNIA HOUSING TO

SAFETY, SECURITY AND DIGNITY.

WELL YOU CAN FIND OUT MORE

OPERATION BLESSING BY VISITING

OBI DOT ORG.

WAS SET TO GET MARRIED IN JUST

TWO WEEKS AND THEN HE WAS HIT

WITH COVID AND HOSPITAL ADVISED

HIS CONDITION BECAME SO GRIM

DOCTORS TOLD HIS THAT THE

OUTLOOK FOR HIS RECOVERY WAS

PRETTY HOPELESS.

I REMEMBER PRAYING AND JUST

SAYING LORD, DID WE DO

SOMETHING WRONG?

SEPTEMBER 11TH, 2021 WAS

SUPPOSED TO BE A CELEBRATION.

THE DAY MELANIE FOX WAS TO GET

MARRIED INSTEAD HER 56 YEAR OLD

FIANCEE MICHAEL WAS IN A

HOSPITAL

LIFE.

THEY'RE MEETING AND HAD BEEN

AN ANSWER TO PRAYER WHEN

MELANIE NOW.

DO YOU NOT WANT US TO GET

MARRIED?

I WAS STARTING TO QUESTION

EVERYTHING.

AND I SAID, LORD, DO YOU NOT

LOVE US ANYMORE?

TWO WEEKS BEFORE THE WEDDING,

MICHAEL CONTRACTED COVID.

WITHIN DAYS HE WAS IN THE

HOSPITAL WITH DOUBLE PNEUMONIA

AND HIS OXYGEN LEVELS HAD

PLUMMETED.

ACCORDING TO THE DOCTORS

REPORT HIS WAS AN EXTREMELY

UNFORTUNATE SITUATION WITH

EVIDENCE OF CONTINUED

WORSENING.

THE PULMONOLOGIST DID COME

IN ONE DAY AND HE JUST OF STOOD

AT THE END OF THE BED AND SHOOK

HIS HEAD AND I JUST LOOKED AT

HIM AND I SAID IT'S NOT GOOD IS

IT?

AND HE SAID YOU MAY WANT TO LET

YOUR FAMILY KNOW THAT THIS

LOOKS PRETTY HOPELESS AT THIS

POINT.

MICHAEL'S SON ROBBY SAW IT

DIFFERENTLY.

HE WAS ONE OF MANY WHO

FILLED THE HOSPITAL WAITING

ROOM PRAYING HIS DAD.

I KNEW HE WOULD WALK OUT OF

THERE.

I KNEW THE BEGINNING HE WOULD.

HOWEVER THINGS WOULD ONLY

GET WORSE OVER THE COMING WEEK.

MICHAEL WOULD HAVE A STROKE AND

DEVELOPED SEPSIS THE LEADING

CAUSE OF DEATH HOSPITALS.

THEN HIS KIDNEYS BEGAN TO SHUT

DOWN EVEN AFTER SEVERAL ROUNDS

OF ANTIBIOTICS.

NOTHING WAS WORKING AND I

KNOW THAT YOU SAID LORD, THAT

WE WOULD BE TOGETHER.

SO I DON'T UNDERSTAND AND WERE

TIMES WHEN I HONESTLY WAS SO

NUMB.

THEN ANOTHER SETBACK AS

MEDICAL STAFF WERE PREPPING

MICHAEL FOR DIALYSIS AS ONE OF

HIS LUNGS COLLAPSED TRYING TO

AVOID PUTTING HIM ON A

VENTILATOR.

THEY DECIDED FIRST TO INCREASE

HIS OXYGEN AND WAIT TO SEE IF

THAT WOULD WORK.

MELANIE AND MICHAEL'S YOUNGEST

SON JOHN WERE WAITING IN THE

HALLWAY AND HE LOOKED AT ME AND

HE SAID MY DAD NEEDS A MIRACLE.

AND I SAID YES, HE DOES.

I SAID, JOHN, WHY DON'T YOU ASK

GOD TO GIVE HIM THAT MIRACLE?

AND SO HE JUST LOOKED UP AND HE

SAID GOD, MY DAD AND HE REALLY

NEEDS A MIRACLE RIGHT NOW.

OUTSIDE THE HOSPITAL PARKING

LOT WAS PACKED WITH PEOPLE ALSO

BELIEVING FOR A MIRACLE THAT

GOD HAS THE FINAL SAY.

DOCTORS ARE GREAT.

THEY REALLY HELPED OUT A LOT

AND THEIR HANDS ARE GUIDED BUT

THEY DON'T ALWAYS HAVE THE

FINAL SAY IN THINGS.

WITHIN THE HOUR MICHAEL'S

OXYGEN LEVELS HAD RISEN AND HIS

LUNGS RE INFLATED SO HE DIDN'T

NEED EVENT.

NOT ONLY THAT HIS KIDNEYS BEGAN

TO RECOVER.

THEY SAID HE DOESN'T NEED THE

DIALYSIS.

HIS MARKERS UP HE'S GOOD.

EVERYTHING'S GREAT.

AND EVEN THE SEPSIS GONE.

SOON AFTER THEY WERE ABLE TO

BRING MICHAEL OUT OF SEDATION.

BUT HE WASN'T WAKING UP AND

DOCTORS CAUTIONED THE FAMILY

ABOUT GETTING THEIR HOPES UP.

THE STROKE COULD HAVE LONG TERM

SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES.

AND I REMEMBER JUST LOOKING

UP AND SAYING LORD, I DON'T

KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON AND I

DON'T BUT I TRUST YOU.

FINALLY MICHAEL WOKE UP.

HIS FIRST WORDS THE SAME ONES

HE HAD SAID TO MELANIE AFTER HE

WAS ADMITTED TO THE HOSPITAL.

I SAID YOU'RE GOING TO LOOK

BEAUTIFUL YOUR WEDDING DRESS.

BECAUSE I KNEW NUMBER ONE THAT

I WAS GOING TO SEE THAT BECAUSE

THE LORD SHOWED IT TO ME.

BUT I ALSO KNEW THAT THAT WOULD

BRING COMFORT TO HER.

I THOUGHT OKAY, LORD, HE

SAID WAS GOING TO BE BEAUTIFUL

IN MY DRESS.

SO I KNOW THAT HE'S GOING TO

MAKE IT THROUGH.

MICHAEL BEGAN TO IMPROVE AND

EVENTUALLY SENT TO REHAB.

HE HAD BEEN IN THE HOSPITAL 43

DAYS WHEN HE WAS DISCHARGED

ALTHOUGH WOULD TAKE MONTHS OF

REHAB TO OVERCOME THE EFFECTS

OF HIS STROKE.

THERE WAS ONE THING MICHAEL

WASN'T WAITING FOR.

OH, I HAD A LOT OF CHALLENGES

BECAUSE I CAME HOME IN A

WHEELCHAIR AND I COULD BARELY

GET FROM THE CAR TO THE

WHEELCHAIR AND.

SO THAT WAS ON OCTOBER THE I

BELIEVE AND ON OCTOBER THE 17TH

I DETERMINED I WAS GOING TO

WALK DOWN THE AISLE TO MARRY MY

WIFE AND HE DID.

WITH PRAYER AND REHAB.

MICHAEL HAS FULLY RECOVERED.

THE HAPPY COUPLE AND THEIR

FAMILIES ARE ENJOYING EVERY

THEY HAVE TOGETHER.

THANKFUL FOR THE MIRACLE GOD

HAS GIVEN THEM.

I HAD A LOT OF PEOPLE

PRAYING FOR ME.

I'M GOING TO TELL YOU THAT

PRAYER WAS WAS HEARD BY THE

LORD.

I KNOW.

I KNOW IT WAS BECAUSE IT NOT

GAVE ME STRENGTH.

BUT IF YOU GET MENTALLY STRONG

HE'S ALWAYS THERE.

HE'S GOT US YOU KNOW THAT'S GOT

US EVEN IN THE HARDEST TIMES.

YOU KNOW, SAYS HE'LL NEVER

LEAVE US.

HE'LL NEVER FORSAKE US.

EVEN IF IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S JUST

HOPELESS AND THE END AND IT'S

GOING TO BE OVER AND DONE YOU

THAT HE'S NOT GOING TO LEAVE

YOU.

HE'S NOT GOING TO FORSAKE YOU.

HE'S RIGHT THERE WITH YOU

AND HIM WE LIVE AND MOVE AND

HAVE OUR BEING.

HE WANTS TO BE YOUR FATHER HE

WANTS TO BE YOUR HE WANTS TO BE

YOUR HEALER.

HE WANTS TO BE YOUR GOD.

WHAT IS HE WAITING FOR?

BECAUSE SOMETIMES WE GO OH, WHY

IS HE.

WHY IS HE NOT ACTED WISE AND

NOT DOING IT?

WHAT IS HE WAITING FOR?

HERE'S A PRAYER SURRENDER THAT

MELANIE PRAYED.

SHE SAID LORD, THAT'S THAT'S A

GOOD WAY TO START A LORD.

I UNDERSTAND YOUR SOVEREIGN

LORD.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.

THAT'S A WONDERFUL PRAYER.

IT'S ADMITTING YOU'RE HELPLESS

THAT YOU CAN'T DO IT.

THE MORE WE TRY TO THINK WE CAN

DO IT IN OUR OWN STRENGTH AND

OUR OWN WAY WE CAN FIGURE THIS

OUT AND GET A SOLUTION WE CAN

GET ALL THESE THINGS WE'RE

RELYING ON OURSELVES.

SHE SAID LORD, I DON'T KNOW

WHAT'S GOING ON BUT I TRUST YOU

IN THAT AMAZING.

NOW THERE'S A GREEK FOR FAITH

PERSISTENCE IT CAN MEAN TRUST.

IT CAN MEAN RELY.

IT CAN MEAN FAITH.

BUT WHEN YOU WHEN YOU REALLY

SUM IT UP DO YOU TRUST GOD?

CAN YOU BE LIKE MELANIE IT'S

ALL SUPPOSEDLY HOPELESS?

IT'S ALL THE ALL THE

INFORMATION IS NEGATIVE.

YOU'RE LOOKING AT SEPSIS.

YOU'RE LOOKING AT STROKE,

YOU'RE LOOKING AT LUNG FAILURE.

YOU'RE LOOK AT ALL THESE

THINGS.

YOU HAVE A PERMANENT

PULMONOLOGIST WHO'S SHAKING HIS

HEAD AT THE FOOT OF THE BED.

YOU HAVE ALL OF THESE THINGS

TELLING YOU THIS ISN'T WORKING

OUT.

BUT GOD SAYS YEAH, I CAN WORK

IT OUT.

I CAN DO ALL THINGS.

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS BELIEVE.

SO MELODY TOOK THAT INTO HER

PRAYER LORD, I TRUST YOU NOW

CAN YOU DO THAT AND CAN WE DO

THAT TOGETHER?

AND SAY JESUS, RELY ON YOU

WE RELY ON YOUR NATURE.

WE RELY WHO YOU ARE WE RELY ON

YOUR LOVE, YOUR FORGIVENESS,

YOUR SALVATION, YOUR HEALING

YOU DO IT ALL NOW COULD YOU DO

IT ALL FOR ME?

AND COULD YOU DO IT NOW BECAUSE

BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S

GOING ON BUT YOU ARE HERE AND

YOU ARE ABLE LET'S PRAY RIGHT

SHALL BE DONE FOR THEM BY MY

FATHER IN HEAVEN.

LET'S RELY ON THEM.

LET'S TRUST THEM.

SO YOU TOUCH WILL AGREE AND GOD

WILL DO ALL THE REST.

PRAY LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, WE COME

TO YOU AND WE CONFESS RIGHT NOW

THAT YOU ARE LORD.
