COMING UP SEVENTH CLOCK,

EVERYBODY, WELCOME TO THE

PRESIDENT.

BIDEN'S SPEECH LAST NIGHT WAS

BOTH A STATE OF THE UNION

ADDRESS CAMPAIGN SPEECH.

HE MADE THE CASE THAT HE

DESERVES A SECOND TERM AND HE'S

UP TO THE JOB AT 81.

REPUBLICANS WERE NOT

IMPRESSED.

THEY BLAMED THE FOR THE BORDER

CRISIS AND MUCH MORE.

SEIB ON CAPITOL, MATT GORKA

BRINGS US THE STORY FROM

WASHINGTON.

PRESIDENT BIDEN TRIED TO

STRIKE AN OPTIMIST TONE AND

PERHAPS KICKSTART A REELECTION

CAMPAIGN IN A FIERY ADDRESS.

IN THE FACE OF MULTIPLE

PROBLEMS FACING THE COUNTRY,

PROUDLY SAY THE STATE OF OUR

UNION IS STRONG AND GETTING

STRONGER.

THE PRESIDENT TRIED TO

CHANGE THE NARRATIVE

SURROUNDING.

HE CRACKED JOKES ABOUT HIS AGE

AS QUESTIONS.

HIS MENTAL ABILITIES HAVE

RECENTLY BEEN RAISED BY A SMART

HOME NOW.

BIDEN ALSO TRIED TO TACKLE

SOME OF THE TOUGHEST FACING HIS

TERM 2024 REELECTION CAMPAIGN

THE COUNTRY.

HE FOCUSED ON A COMMITMENT TO

FIX THE THE SOUTHERN BORDER

WHILE TOUTING A BIPARTISAN

BORDER BILL NEVER MADE IT TO

HIS DESK IN NOVEMBER.

MY SERIOUS NEGOTIATION WITH

A BIPARTISAN GROUP OF SENATORS

.

THE RESULT WAS A BIPARTISAN

BILL WITH A TOUGHER SET OF

BORDER SECURITY REFORMS WE'VE

EVER SEEN.

OH, YOU DON'T THINK SO?

OH, YOU DON'T LIKE THAT BILL,

HUH?

THAT COULD HAS GOT TOGETHER AND

SAID IT WAS A GOOD BILL.

I'LL BE.

THAT'S AMAZING.

THE LEAD REPUBLICAN ON THAT

BILL OKLAHOMA'S JAMES LANKFORD

LOOKED ON AS BIDEN LISTED WHAT

THE WOULD HAVE ACCOMPLISHED.

THAT BIPARTISAN BILL WOULD

HIRE 1500 MORE SECURITY AGENTS

AND OFFICERS, 100 MORE

IMMIGRATION JUDGES HELP TACKLE

THE BACKLOG OF 2 MILLION CASES

4300 MORE ASYLUM OFFICERS AND

NEW POLICY SO THEY CAN RESOLVE

CASES IN SIX MONTHS INSTEAD

YEARS.

NOW BIDEN FACED CHALLENGES

BY SOME BY SOME REPUBLICAN

MEMBERS OVER THE DEATH OF LAKE

AND RILEY ASKING HIM TO QUOTE

SAY HER NAME THE YOUNG NURSING

STUDENT MURDERED WHILE OUT ON A

JOG ALLEGEDLY BY AN ILLEGAL

IMMIGRANT.

LINCOLN RILEY AN INNOCENT

YOUNG WOMAN WHO WAS KILLED BY

AN ILLEGAL THAT'S RIGHT.

BUT HOW MANY OF THOUSANDS OF

PEOPLE BEING KILLED BY ILLEGAL

TO HER PARENTS I SAY MY HEART

GOES OUT TO YOU.

HAVING LOST CHILDREN MYSELF, I

UNDERSTAND AND TO REPUBLICANS

THE PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS FELL

WOEFULLY SHORT.

I DON'T THINK IT WAS

ACTUALLY A STATE OF THE UNION

SPEECH AT ALL.

IT WAS A SPEECH AND THAT WAS

EVIDENT BY SOME OF THE THINGS

THAT OF THE THINGS THAT HE

TALKED ABOUT.

HE WAS RETROSPECTIVE IN

DISCUSSING, YOU KNOW, INSULIN

PRICES THAT WAS ADDRESSED LAST

CONGRESS ACA.

NOBODY'S TALKING ABOUT THE ACA

RIGHT NOW.

LYING TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

HE CAUSED THE BORDER

INVASION.

THE OFFICIAL REPUBLICAN

RESPONSE CAME FROM ALABAMA

SENATOR KATY.

THE AMERICAN DREAM HAS TURNED

INTO A NIGHTMARE.

SEATED KITCHEN TABLE, BRITT

LAID THE COUNTRY'S BORDER

PROBLEMS AT BIDEN'S FEET.

WE KNOW THAT PRESIDENT BIDEN

DIDN'T CREATE THIS BORDER

CRISIS.

HE INVITED IT BIDEN FREQUENTLY

MENTIONED HIS PREDECESSOR

WITHOUT CALLING DONALD TRUMP BY

NAME WHILE TALKING ABOUT OTHER

LIKELY CAMPAIGN ISSUES

INCLUDING DEFENDING DEMOCRACY

AND THE DEBATE OVER ABORTION.

MY PREDECESSOR CAME TO

OFFICE DETERMINED TO SEE ROE V

WADE OVERTURN.

HE'S THE REASON WAS

OVERTURNED AND HE BRAGS ABOUT

IT IT.

THOSE BRAGGING ABOUT

OVERTURNING ROE V WADE HAVE NO

CLUE ABOUT THE POWER OF WOMEN.

THE PRESIDENT ALSO ANNOUNCED

HE'D DIRECT THE TO ESTABLISH A

PORT FOR GAZA HUMANITARIAN AID

.

BIDEN TRIED TO REAFFIRM SUPPORT

FOR ISRAEL ELIMINATING WHILE

ALSO SUPPORTING INNOCENT

CIVILIANS.

BEFORE SAYING A TWO STATE

SOLUTION IN THE REGION WAS A

PATH PEACE.

LEADERSHIP TO ISRAEL I SAY

THIS ASSISTANCE CANNOT BE A

SECONDARY CONSIDERATION OR A

BARGAINING CHIP.

PROTECTING AND SAVING INNOCENT

LIVES HAS TO BE A PRIORITY AS

WE LOOK TO THE FUTURE.

REAL SOLUTION TO THE SITUATION

IS A TWO STATE SOLUTION.

FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP

HAD BEEN POSTING ON SOCIAL REAL

TIME DURING THE SPEECH AT ONE

POINT POSTING ON TRUE SOCIAL

THAT BIDEN THE CRAZY AND ANGRY

THE CLEAR TAKEAWAY AFTER

TONIGHT IS THE BATTLE LINES

HAVE BEEN DRAWN AS WE HEAD

TOWARDS THE 2024 PRESIDENTIAL

ELECTION.

AT THE CAPITOL MATT

GALLAGHER CBN NEWS.

SORRY BUT THANK US NOW FOR A

CLOSER LOOK AT THE PRESIDENT'S

SPEECH AND THE REACTION IS CBN

CHIEF POLITICAL ANALYST DAVID

BRODY.

DAVID, GIVE US YOUR REACTION TO

THE SPEECH AND OF COURSE

ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION TOP ISSUE

PRESIDENT TRIED TRIED TO POINT

A FINGER AT REPUBLICANS FOR NOT

PASSING A BORDER BILL.

IS THAT STRATEGY GOING TO WORK?

LOOK, IT WAS KIND OF A BIG

MESS AS YOU KNOW, IT'S BILLED

AS A STATE OF THE UNION

ADDRESS.

IT IS A STATE OF THE UNION

ADDRESS WAS A CAMPAIGN SPEECH

BY JOE BIDEN.

I MEAN HE MENTIONED THE WORDS

MY PREDECESSOR 13 TIMES

OBVIOUSLY REFERRING TO DONALD

TRUMP.

THERE WERE CHANTS OF FOUR MORE

YEARS IN THE HALL.

HE GAVE IN ESSENCE HIS LINKEDIN

PROFILE AT THE END HE STARTED

ALL OF THIS YOU KNOW WHAT HE'S

DONE IN HIS CAREER AND ONWARD

AND ONWARD.

SO THIS IS A THIS WAS A

CAMPAIGN SPEECH THERE'S NO

DOUBT ABOUT IT.

IT INCLUDED GOVERNMENT HANDOUTS

AS WELL THAT HE WANTED TO RILE

OR GET THE DEMOCRAT BASE

EXCITED ABOUT FOR IMMIGRATION.

LOOK, THIS THE BIG PROBLEM FOR

BIDEN LAST LAST NIGHT HE

CREATED A BIG MESS WHEN HE

FINALLY SAID HER NAME LINCOLN

RILEY THE PROBLEM IS HE DIDN'T

SAY LINCOLN RILEY HE LINCOLN

RILEY AND SO THAT IS TRIFECTA

OF PROBLEMS ONE WITH

REPUBLICANS OBVIOUSLY TO USE

THAT TO THEIR ADVANTAGE TO SAY

YOU SEE HE HAS NO CLUE

INDEPENDENTS.

HE'S CRATERING WITH

INDEPENDENTS.

SO THAT'S GOING TO BE A PROBLEM

WHEN YOU MISPRONOUNCE LINCOLN

RILEY'S NAME AND THEN EVEN WITH

DEMOCRATS HE WENT AND CALLED

THE PERSON THAT ALLEGEDLY

KILLED LINCOLN RILEY HIM AN

ILLEGAL.

AND DEMOCRATS ARE UPSET AT THE

LANGUAGE SAYING ILLEGAL PLEASE,

WE SHOULD CALL THAT PERSON

PERSON AN UNDOCUMENTED

IMMIGRANT OR A MIGRANT.

EXCUSE ME.

SO LOOK LOOK, HE'S GETTING IT

FROM ALL SIDES.

IT WAS IT WAS REALLY KIND OF

CRINGEWORTHY TO KIND OF SEE ALL

OF THAT PLAY OUT FOR HIM LAST

NIGHT.

YEAH.

NANCY PELOSI TRIED TO DEFEND

HIM USING THE TERM ILLEGAL ON

CNN LAST NIGHT.

SHE LOOKED VERY UNCOMFORTABLE.

BIDEN TEAM WANTED THIS SPEECH

TO BE A RESET.

CAN PERCEPTIONS IN ONE SPEECH

AFTER OFFICE?

LOOK ANDREW, THE BAIT.

I MEAN NOW YOU HAVE TO GO OUT

AND SELL THE CAKE.

THE PROBLEM IS IS THE CAKE

SEEMS A FLAT AND THERE'S NOT

THE BEST ICING ON TOP IS A

CHALLENGE.

LOOK, IF YOU LOOK AT JOE

BIDEN'S APPROVAL RATINGS,

FORGET REPUBLICANS, FORGET

OVERALL ADULTS JUST LOOK AT

DEMOCRATS RATING WITH DEMOCRATS

HAS GONE DOWN FROM PERCENT WHEN

HE STARTED THREE YEARS AGO TO

82%.

HE'S NOW 16% AMONG DEMOCRATS

HE'S DOWN ALMOST 30% AMONG

INDEPENDENTS.

SO HE HAS A MAJOR ON HIS HAND.

PEOPLE KNOW EXACTLY WHERE HE'S

COMING FROM

HE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING LAST

NIGHT TO CHANGE THE PERCEPTION.

DID DID HE HAVE MORE ENERGY?

YES, HE HAD MORE ENERGY.

BUT AT THE SAME TIME I'M NOT

QUITE SURE THAT REALLY GETS HIM

TOO FAR BECAUSE HIS NUMBERS ARE

.

HE TOOK ON TRUMP WITHOUT

NAMING HIM.

HE MENTIONED HIS PREDECESSOR

WHAT, A DOZEN PLUS TIMES.

WHAT DO YOU YOU THINK OF THAT?

WELL, LOOK, I THINK IT GOES

TO EXACTLY PRETTY MUCH WHAT I

SAID AT THE TOP THAT IT WAS A

CAMPAIGN SPEECH.

YOU KNOW, I THINK LARGER MACRO

ISSUE HERE, ANDREW, IT'S JUST

SAD AND I'M NOT JOE BIDEN

SPECIFICALLY.

I'M TALKING ABOUT USING THE

STATE OF THE STATE OF THE UNION

AS A CAMPAIGN SPEECH BECAUSE

THAT'S WHAT IT WAS.

I MEAN EVEN CNN AND OTHER

COMMENTATORS WERE POINTING OUT

THAT THAT IS EXTREMELY RARE TO

EVER INVOKE THE NAME OF YOUR OR

IN ESSENCE INVOKED THE NAME OF

YOUR CHALLENGER IN A

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION DURING A

STATE.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HE DID AND

HE DIDN'T DO IT ONCE.

HE DID IT 13 TIMES.

SO SO YOU KNOW, THAT DOESN'T

HELP HIM AT ALL.

IT REALLY DOESN'T AND.

I KNOW THAT THE DEMOCRATS FEEL

THAT THE ONLY WAY THAT BIDEN

CAN WIN THE WHITE HOUSE AGAIN

IS THAT HE HAS TO BE AS

ANTI-TRUMP AS POSSIBLE.

I GUESS THAT'S THE THAT'S THE

SHOT IN THE DARK, IF YOU WILL,

BUT I'M NOT QUITE SURE IT'S

STRATEGY AT THE END OF THE DAY.

DAVID, OBVIOUSLY THIS SPEECH

APPEALED BASE.

DO YOU THINK IT WON ANY NIKKI

HALEY VOTERS OVER?

POSSIBLY.

I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO

UNDERSTAND THAT THAT WE KEEP

HEARING ABOUT THE NIKKI HALEY

PORTION OF THE PARTY AND WE

ALSO 40%.

YOU KNOW, SHE GOT ABOUT 40% OF

THE VOTE THAT'S JUST TO JUST TO

CORRECT EVERYBODY ON THAT.

THAT'S 40%.

BUT THAT INDEPENDENTS AND

DEMOCRATS AND MOST OF THEM MOST

OF NIKKI HALEY'S VOTERS WERE

AND DEMOCRATS.

SO IF YOU BOIL IT DOWN, YOU'RE

LOOKING AT ABOUT 12 TO 18%

SOMEWHERE IN THERE ROUGHLY OF

OF REPUBLICANS THAT VOTED FOR

NIKKI HALEY.

THAT'S MUCH SMALLER THAN 40%.

AND THE POLLSTERS THAT I'M

TALKING TO ANDREW, MOST OF THEM

YEAH, THEY'LL HOLD THEIR NOSE

BUT EVENTUALLY THEY'LL COME

HOME AND BE WITH TRUMP.

AT THE END OF THE DAY EVEN

POLLSTERS LIBERAL POLLSTERS

LIKE FIVETHIRTYEIGHT.

THAT'S A PRETTY MORE OF A

LIBERAL KIND OF MAINSTREAM

MEDIA TYPE POLLING ORGANIZATION

.

THEY EVEN SAY THAT MOST OF

THESE FOLKS WILL COME HOME FOR

TRUMP WHEN ELECTION FOUR ROLLS

AROUND.

SO BY THE SUPREME COURT

MATCH REPORT HAD THE HAD THE

QUOTE ABOUT THE SUPREME COURT'S

DECISION OVERTURNING ROE V WADE

JUSTICES WERE ABOUT TO REALIZE

HOW MUCH POLITICAL POWER WOMEN

HAVE.

WHAT DO YOU THINK THE

PRESIDENT'S WAS IN CALLING OUT

THE JUSTICES?

WELL, HERE'S THE PROBLEM

HERE.

IT WASN'T A STRATEGY.

I MEAN IF YOU LOOK AT THE TEXT

AND I LOOKED OF WHAT HE WAS

SUPPOSED TO SAY OH, SAY THE

PREPARED REMARKS.

THAT WAS NOT THAT THAT WAS ALL

ADLIBBED.

AND SO WHEN I SAY ALL OF IT, HE

HAD SOME OF THAT IN THERE.

BUT THIS IDEA OF CALLING OUT

THE JUSTICES HIS PREPARED

REMARKS.

THE PROBLEM IS WHEN BIDEN GOES

INTO AS GOOD WORLD, BAD THINGS

HAPPEN AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT

HAPPENED BECAUSE REMEMBER NOT

ONLY DID HE SAY THOSE WORDS

LOOKING UP, HE LOOKED AT THE

SUPREME COURT JUSTICES AS WELL

AND BASICALLY SAID, YOU KNOW,

BASICALLY YOU BETTER WATCH OUT

THE WOMEN ELECTORAL POWER IS

COMING FOR YOU IN FOUR.

I MEAN IT WAS IT WAS JUST

THAT IS A MAJOR STORYLINE.

THERE ARE NOW HEADLINES

BASICALLY SAYING THAT JOE BIDEN

THREATENED THE SUPREME COURT.

LOOK, I THINK BOTTOM LINE IS

THAT'S GOING TO GET A LOT MORE

TRACTION IN THE COMING DAYS.

HE MIGHT HAVE BEEN LIBBING BUT

THAT WAS ONE OF THE WORST AD

LIBS IN MODERN HISTORY.

QUESTION HE GOP RISING STAR

SENATOR KATIE KATIE BRITT DID

THE RESPONSE NOBODY EVER WANTS

THAT JOB.

THERE'S SOME CRITICISM ABOUT IT

BEING TOO OVER COACHED AND

DRAMATIC.

WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS?

YEAH I THINK IT WAS OVER

COACH AND DRAMATIC WAS A BIT

PLASTIC AND THE PROBLEM THERE

IS THAT THE SUBSTANCE WHILE IT

MIGHT HAVE BEEN SOLID LOOK AT

STYLE OVER SUBSTANCE AS WE'VE

BEEN TALKING ABOUT AND SO YOU

DROWN OUT THE MESSAGE OF WHAT

YOU'RE TRYING TO GET ACROSS SHE

WAS TRYING TO GET ACROSS IS

SUBURBAN HOUSEWIFE MOM KIND OF

VIBE AND EVEN THOUGH SHE IS

THAT THE STYLE DETRACTED FROM

IT YOU REALLY COULDN'T KIND OF

GET PAST SOME OF THAT BECAUSE

IT WAS IT TOUGH TO WATCH IT

DIDN'T SEEM RIGHT.

SHE WAS ALSO AT THE KITCHEN

TABLE BY HERSELF AND I KNOW

WHAT THEY'RE TRYING TO DO THE

KITCHEN TABLE I GET THE PROBLEM

IS IT'S KIND OF WEIRD TO JUST

TABLE ALL BY YOURSELF WHO SITS

AT THE KITCHEN TABLE BY THIS.

WELL, I GUESS PEOPLE PEOPLE SIT

AT THE KITCHEN TABLE BY

THEMSELVES.

HEY.

YEAH.

THE POINT IS I SAID ACTUALLY

THERE ARE A LOT ESPECIALLY WITH

DESSERT BUT THE POINT IS IT WAS

KIND OF ROUGH.

I THINK JUST STYLISTICALLY

OVERALL.

ALL RIGHT, DAVID, THANK YOU

SO MUCH FOR YOUR INSIGHTS

REALLY IT.

YOU BET.

IN OTHER NEWS, VIOLENT CRIME

REMAINS A MAJOR ISSUE FOR

AMERICANS EVEN THOUGH THE

NUMBER OF HOMICIDES FELL

SUBSTANTIALLY IN 23.

STILL TWO CITIES SAW SURGES IN

HOMICIDES LAST YEAR INCLUDING

THE NATION'S CAPITAL.

NATIONAL SECURITY CORRESPONDENT

CAITLIN BURKE BURKE TAKES A

CLOSER LOOK.

HERE IN WASHINGTON MURDER

TOOK THE LIVES OF 274 PEOPLE IN

2023.

THAT'S A PERCENT INCREASE YEAR

TO YEAR AND A 20 YEAR HIGH.

AND IT'S BECOME A REAL

FACTOR IN PROVIDING FOR A

PRODUCTIVE AND SAFE WORKPLACE.

WHITCOMB FOCUSES ON STATE

AND LOCAL POLICY AT THE U.S.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

HE SAYS HIS EMPLOYEES NO LONGER

FEEL SAFE DURING THEIR WORK

COMMUTE.

GETTING LUNCH OR ENGAGING IN

OTHER REGULAR ACTIVITIES WHEN

WE HAVE THESE VIOLENT EVENTS

OCCURRING VERY CLOSE TO OUR

PLACES OF BUSINESS IT IT ONLY

CAUSES THOSE FEARS TO RISE.

LOCAL D.C. BUSINESSMAN MIKE

GILL RECENTLY BECAME THE VICTIM

OF A FATAL CARJACKING IN THE

DOWNTOWN BUSINESS DISTRICT AT

RUSH HOUR.

WICKHAM TELLS CBN NEWS GILL'S

MURDER HIT ESPECIALLY CLOSE TO

HOME.

A LOCAL BUSINESS LEADER

SOMEONE WHO HAD BEEN BEEN ALSO

A GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL.

LIKE MANY OF US WHO APPRECIATE

WHAT GOVERNMENT SERVICE IS IN

REALLY KNOWS THE BUSINESS

COMMUNITY WELL AND TAKEN IN

SUCH A TRAGIC WAY IT GALVANIZED

ALL OF US TO DO SOMETHING MORE

TO REACH OUT TO THE

POLICYMAKERS TO TRY TO PUT AN

END TO THIS RISING VIOLENCE.

THE CHAMBER JOINED 69 OTHER

DOWNTOWN BUSINESSES AND

ORGANIZATIONS THE CITY TAKE

ACTION TO CRACK DOWN ON CRIME.

AND AND WE OFFERED OUR HANDS

IN PARTNERSHIP TO WORK WITH THE

MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL TO LOOK

AT WAYS THAT WE CAN THIS

VIOLENCE.

A RECENT STUDY FROM THE

NATIONAL INSTITUTE JUSTICE

REFORM AND THE D.C. POLICE

DEPARTMENT FOUND FOUND IT'S

LIKELY ONLY 500 INDIVIDUALS

DRIVING A MAJORITY OF THE

DISTRICT'S DISTRICT'S REPEAT

GUN VIOLENCE.

IT CONCLUDED THAT SINCE THE

VIOLENCE IS PREDICTABLE

PREVENTABLE.

AT THE BEGINNING THE JUSTICE

DEPARTMENT MOVED TO ALLOCATE

MORE FEDERAL PROSECUTORS ON

D.C. VIOLENT CRIME CASES.

THE FBI AND OTHER FEDERAL ARE

ALSO STEPPING IN.

MEANWHILE, THE D.C. COUNCIL

VOTED VOTED TO REVERSE ITS

PROGRESSIVE STRATEGIES BY

PASSING A SWEEPING CRIME BILL

TO CHANGE HOW POLICING AND

PUNISHMENT ARE CARRIED OUT.

I THANK SECRETARY.

THE BILLS APPROVED

UNANIMOUSLY INCLUDED IN THE

BILL LOITERING DRUG FREE ZONES,

HARSHER PENALTIES FOR GUN FOR

GUN CRIMES, NEW FELONY

DESIGNATIONS FOR ORGANIZED

RETAIL CRIME AND EXPANDED

PRETRIAL DETENTIONS FOR THOSE

CHARGED WITH VIOLENT CRIMES.

ONE OF THE MORE

CONTROVERSIAL PROVISIONS ALLOWS

ISRAEL AND THE BIDEN

ADMINISTRATION STAND AT A

DIPLOMATIC AND MILITARY

CROSSROAD.

ISRAEL SAYS IT NEEDS NEEDS TO

FINISH THE WAR AGAINST HAMAS IN

THE KEY CITY OF RAFAH IN GAZA.

BUT THE U.S. MAY NOT ALLOW

ISRAEL TO USE AMERICAN WEAPONS

IN THE BATTLE.

CHRIS MITCHELL BRINGS US

THAT STORY FROM JERUSALEM IN

HIS STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS

,BIDEN PUT THE BURDEN ON

ISRAEL TO PROTECT GAZANS HAS A

ADDED BURDEN BECAUSE HAMAS

OPERATES AMONG THE CIVILIAN

POPULATION LIKE COWARDS.

UNDER HOSPITALS, DAYCARE

CENTERS AND ALL THE LIKE.

ALSO HAS A FUNDAMENTAL

RESPONSIBILITY THOUGH TO

PROTECT IN GAZA IN ORDER TO

INCREASE HUMANITARIAN AID INTO

GAZA.

THE ADMINISTRATION ANNOUNCED

PLANS TO BUILD PEER IN GAZA.

SENATOR MARCO RUBIO PUSHED BACK

ON THAT ON FOX NEWS.

THE ONLY PEOPLE ON THE

GROUND WITH ANY ORGANIZATION

THINGS ARE HAMAS.

SO IN ESSENCE CAN THEY

GUARANTEE THAT THAT WE'RE GOING

TO GO THROUGH ALL THIS TROUBLE

TO PUT AMERICAN LIVES ON THE

LINE JUST SO AID CAN BE

DISTRIBUTED TO HAMAS WHO IN

TURN WILL THEN CONTROL IT LIKE

THEY'VE CONTROLLED EVERYTHING.

THERE'S NO HAMAS FIGHTERS

STARVING TO DEATH AND HAMAS HAS

NO HISTORY.

NONE WHATSOEVER.

THEY HAVE ZERO HISTORY OF

EITHER HELPING CIVILIANS.

SO THIS IS ALL FOR SHOW AND

IT'S DANGEROUS.

RUBIO SAYS THE FAST TO GET AID

TO GAZA IS TO DEFEAT HAMAS.

ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN

NETANYAHU PLEDGED TO IDF

SOLDIERS AT A GRADUATION

CEREMONY SAYING ISRAEL HAD TO

TAKE OUT THE LAST HAMAS

STRONGHOLD RAFAH.

WHOEVER TELLS US NOT TO

OPERATE IN RAFAH IS TELLING THE

WAR AND THAT WILL NOT HAPPEN.

THERE IS INTERNATIONAL AND IT

IS INCREASING BUT IT IS

PRECISELY WHEN THE

INTERNATIONAL PRESSURE

INCREASES THAT WE MUST CLOSE

RANKS AMONG OURSELVES.

WE MUST STAND TOGETHER AGAINST

THE ATTEMPTS TO STOP THE WAR.

THIS IS WHAT THE SUMMIT SAYS.

WHO TRAINS HANDS FOR WAR?

MY FINGERS FOR BATTLE.

BUT TODAY WE HAVE A CLEAR GOAL

ACHIEVING TOTAL VICTORY IN THE

WAR IN WHAT WOULD BE A MAJOR

MOVE.

THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION

APPEARS TO BE CONSIDERING

RESTRICTING THE USE OF U.S.

MUNITIONS.

ISRAEL LAUNCHES A MILITARY

OPERATION INTO RAFAH.

DAVID IGNATIUS OF THE

WASHINGTON POST QUOTED FORMER

U.S. AMBASSADOR TO ISRAEL

MARTIN INDYK.

IF LAUNCHES AN OFFENSIVE IN

RAFAH WITHOUT ADEQUATELY

PROTECTING DISPLACED CIVILIAN

POPULATION, IT MAY PRECIPITATE

CRISIS IN U.S. ISRAEL RELATIONS

EVEN INVOLVING ARMS SUPPLIES.

COLONEL RICHARD KEMP, FORMER

COMMANDER OF BRITISH FORCES IN

AFGHANISTAN, TELLS CBN

NEWS THAT WOULD PLAY INTO THE

HANDS OF HAMAS.

I THINK VERY IRRESPONSIBLE

OF THE UNITED STATES BECAUSE

PRESIDENT BIDEN HIMSELF AND

SECRETARY BLINKEN HAVE BOTH

SAID THAT THEY UNDERSTAND

ISRAEL'S NEED TO ELIMINATE

HAMAS.

AND TO DO THAT THEY'VE GOT TO

GO INTO RAFAH.

THEY DON'T DESTROY HAMAS IN

RAFAH THEN EFFECTIVELY HAMAS

SURVIVED AND WILL HAVE WON THE

WAR.

THEY WILL DECLARE VICTORY.

THEY WILL STILL BE A MAJOR

THREAT TO ISRAEL.

MEANWHILE, THE HEAD OF HAMAS

IS SINWAR IS REPORTEDLY HOLDING

UP THE NEGOTIATION FIRE AND THE

RELEASE OF THE REMAINING

HOSTAGES.

STREET JOURNAL REPORTS SINWAR

BELIEVES HAMAS HAS THE THE

UPPER HAND IN THE TALKS BECAUSE

OF THE SPLITS IN THE ISRAELI

WAR WAR GOVERNMENT AND

DIVISIONS BETWEEN THE U.S. AND

ISRAEL.

SO HE'S DEMANDING A PERMANENT

CEASE FIRE AND A PULLOUT OF ALL

ISRAELI FORCES FROM GAZA.

CONDITIONS ISRAEL WON'T ACCEPT

.

CHRIS MITCHELL CBS

NEWS JERUSALEM.

THAT'S 888 51717 CALL NOW

AUSTIN HALEY WAS FISHING WITH

HIS AND HIS GRANDFATHER AT THE

POND BEHIND HIS HOUSE WHEN

TRAGEDY STRUCK ON A BEAUTIFUL

AUGUST EVENING.

THAT MORNING AND LATER IN THE

DAY FIVE YEAR OLD AUSTIN HAD A

STRANGE OF FOREBODING FROM THE

MOMENT HE WOKE UP ON THE

MORNING OF AUGUST 3RD, THOUSAND

SEVEN.

JACK AND RENEE, HAYLEY'S OLDEST

SON AUSTIN UP IN AN UNUSUALLY

SERIOUS MOOD THAT MORNING.

HE SAID MAMA, THIS IS GOING TO

BE A VERY BAD DAY.

MOMMA, I'M GOING TO MISS YOU,

DADDY AND DALTON SO MUCH.

AND HE WEPT.

I THOUGHT THAT MAYBE HE HAD HAD

A NIGHTMARE OF OF SOME SORT.

LATER THAT EVENING RENEE'S

FATHER CAME TO TAKE YEAR OLD

AUSTIN AND HIS YOUNGER BROTHER

DALTON TO GO FISHING AT THE

POND BEHIND THEIR HOME.

AUSTIN TOLD HIS MOTHER AND

FATHER GOODBYE AND THEY LEFT.

AUSTIN HAD A LOOK ON HIS FACE

THAT OF WORRY.

HE WAS HE OBVIOUSLY WORRIED AND

IN TURMOIL ABOUT I JUST DIDN'T

KNOW WHAT.

NO MATTER WHAT I BELIEVE

SOMEBODY SAID LOOKED IN THE

DISTANCE AND MY DAD WAS COMING

HONEY, SOMEONE SAW AUSTIN RIGHT

IN THE HEAD.

I DON'T THINK HE'S GOING TO

MAKE IT.

PLEASE.

NO, NO, NO, PLEASE.

ALL OF A SUDDEN THE SUNLIGHT

FROM THAT AUGUST 3RD DAY

EVENING IT FELT LIKE IT WAS

BLARING IN MY EYES.

I MEAN, I FEEL LIKE I'M TURNING

IN CIRCLES.

EVERYTHING'S HAPPENING WHAT I'M

FEELING AND THAT MOMENT IS JUST

SHEER ANGUISH AND ANGER AND AND

KNOWING IT I HAD NO I D HOW TO

EVEN TAKE THAT INFORMATION THAT

MIND COULD NOT COMPREHEND IT.

WHO SHOT MY SON AT THE

HOSPITAL?

AUSTIN WAS PRONOUNCED DEAD ON

ARRIVAL AT THAT TIME.

THE HAYLEY'S ALSO LEARNED WHO

HAD KILLED THEIR SON A ROOKIE

POLICE OFFICER AND HIS PARTNER

ANSWERED A NEIGHBOR'S CALL

ABOUT A SNAKE IN A BIRDHOUSE.

THE ROOKIE FIRED TWO SHOTS AT

THE SNAKE.

ONE OF THE BULLETINS STRAYED,

STRIKING YOUNG AUSTIN IN THE

HEAD.

WHEN THEY TOLD US I WAS I

WAS CONTAINED ANGER.

I SAID, GOD, WHY WHY DID IT TO

US?

WHY US?

WHY ANYBODY?

WHY DIDN'T YOU STOP THE BULLET?

WHY DIDN'T YOU PLEASE YOU

PLEASE STOP TO WHAT HAPPENED?

I JUST DIDN'T UNDERSTAND.

IN THE FOLLOWING MONTHS THE

HAYLEY'S FELT THE LOSS MORE AND

MORE EACH DAY.

THE FIRST STEPS DOWN THE

HALLWAY BETWEEN MY TWO CHILDREN

WENT AWAY.

THE HOUSE WAS SILENT.

HE WAS NO LONGER HERE AND WE

WOULD LOOK AT HIS PICTURES AND

OUR FAMILY JUST FELT LIKE IT

WAS TIME WAS FROZEN FOR US US.

ADDING TO THE FAMILY'S

STRESS AND GRIEF WAS THE

ONGOING INVESTIGATION INTO THE

SHOOTING.

AS THEY PURSUE JUSTICE, THE

TOWN WAS DIVIDED ON WHAT

PUNISHMENT IF ANY THE OFFICERS

RECEIVE.

NOT ONLY DID WE HAVE TO DEAL

WITH YOU BEING TAKEN FROM US

THIS WAY BUT WE HAD TO DEAL

WITH THE PUBLIC THE OFFICERS

THAT WERE INVOLVED WITH THE

SHOOTING THEY KEPT THAT THERE

WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH WHAT

THEY DID AND HOW THEY DID IT

DID IT.

WHENEVER I FOUND OUT THAT THERE

WAS REALLY NO REASON FOR THEM

THEM TO SHOOT THOSE TWO SHOTS.

ANGER, HURT, RAGE ALL OF THESE

EMOTIONS JUST COME SPEWING OUT

AND.

I TELL YOU WHAT IT WAS JUST

MORE THAN I COULD TAKE.

EIGHT MONTHS LATER

APPEARED IN COURT AS THE

OFFICERS CHARGED WITH SECOND

DEGREE MANSLAUGHTER OR WERE

GIVEN THE VERDICT.

THE JUDGE RULED THAT IN TO THE

90 DAYS OF COMMUNITY SERVICE

THEY ALREADY SERVED BOTH

OFFICERS WOULD TAKE A SNEAKER

HANDLING CLASS AND HAVE THEIR

CERTIFICATE REVOKED.

THIS WAS STILL VERY

DISHEARTENING TO THE GRIEVING

PARENTS.

ONCE THEIR COMMUNITY SERVICE

AND PROBATIONARY PERIODS WERE

DONE, THEIR RECORDS WERE

EXPUNGED TO US WAS NOT ENOUGH.

FOLLOWING THE HEARING, JACK

AND RENEE WERE THE COURTHOUSE

THROUGH THE REAR ENTRANCE WHEN

THEY CAME FACE TO FACE KILLER.

UNEXPECTEDLY HE DROPPED TO HIS

HIS KNEES.

HIS TEARS WERE STREAMING.

HE SAID PLEASE FORGIVE ME.

I DID NOT MEAN TO SHOOT YOUR

SON.

WHAT DO WE DO AT THAT MOMENT?

HE SHOT AND KILLED OUR SON AND

WE HAVE TO MAKE RIGHT THEN I

CALL GOD.

PLEASE HELP ME HELP ME MAKE

THIS DECISION.

WHAT DO WE DO?

IMMEDIATELY I GOT THIS VISION A

DEFINITE VISION OF JESUS

HANGING ON THE CROSS.

THERE WERE DRAINING FROM HIS

CHEEKS LIKE THERE WERE TEARS

TEARS DRAINING FOR MINE.

HE SAID, FATHER FORGIVE THEM

FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO.

AND I KNEW JUST WITHOUT A DOUBT

IN MY MIND I HAD TO FORGIVE.

I JUST KNEW THERE'S ONLY ONE

RIGHT WAY GO.

AND IN THAT MOMENT IT WAS TO

FORGIVE HIM.

WE BOTH REACHED DOWN AND

LIFTED THE POLICE OFFICER UP

OFF KNEES AND WE SAID WE

FORGIVE YOU.

AND WE ALL HUGGED TOGETHER AND

WE CRIED TOGETHER.

WE WERE ALL HURTING TOGETHER

JUST FOR THAT MOMENT OF TIME.

IT'S BEEN OVER 15 YEARS

SINCE THAT DAY SEVEN AND THE

HAYLEY'S HAVE WELCOMED TWO MORE

CHILDREN INTO THEIR ALONG WITH

DALTON GABRIEL, JEREMIAH AND

MIKAYLA.

STILL THEY MISSED THEIR SON

TERRIBLY AND THROUGH THE POWER

OF THE HOLY SPIRIT THEY ALL

CONTINUE.

I HAVE TO MAKE A DAILY

DECISION SOMETIMES AM VERY

HUMAN.

YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT'S OKAY.

I THINK THAT GOD UNDERSTANDS

THAT EVEN THOUGH I STRUGGLE

WITH IT SINGLE DAY STILL IT WAS

THE RIGHT THING TO THING TO DO.

WE WILL ALWAYS MISS AUSTIN.

NO MATTER THE PAIN.

NO MATTER THE AGONY THAT I WAS

IN I DON'T HAVE TO CARRY IT

ALONE.

IT'S NOT JUST MY PAIN.

I WILL NEVER REGRET THAT

DECISION OF FORGIVENESS.

YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES THINGS

HAPPEN IN LIFE THAT JUST ARE SO

UNFAIR CREATES LOSS.

I THINK JACK'S WORD WAS THE

WORD FOR WHAT HAPPENS IN OUR

HEARTS.

IT'S IT'S MORE MORE THAN

SADNESS.

IT'S MORE THAN ANGER REALLY.

IT'S ANGUISH.

AND WHERE DO YOU GO WITH.

ESPECIALLY IN A SCENARIO WHERE

THINGS SEEM SO UNFAIR?

AND THEN WHO?

WHO DO YOU DO YOU GET ANGRY

WITH?

OF COURSE THERE SHOULD NEVER.

IN MY OPINION THERE SHOULD BE

GUNS BROUGHT OUT IN AN AREA

WHERE THERE ARE JUST JUST

RESIDING.

JUST LIVING.

WE ALL ALL KNOW THAT THAT'S THE

RIGHT WAY FOR IT TO BE.

BUT WE ALSO KNOW THAT IT'S IT'S

NOT THE WAY IT HAPPENS.

HOW MANY TIMES DO WE READ

STORIES OF CHILDREN WHO ARE

SIMPLY SITTING IN THEIR HOUSES

AND SOMEBODY DOES A DRIVE BY

SHOOTING THAT GOES THROUGH THE

WALL AND KILLS THE CHILD THAT'S

JUST AT THE DINNER TABLE?

WHERE DO WE GO WITH THAT?

WHERE DO WE GO WHEN WHEN THERE

DOESN'T SEEM TO BE A PLACE THAT

METES OUT JUSTICE?

YOU KNOW SOMETIMES SOMETIMES

THAT OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD

WE DON'T GET THE ANSWER.

WHAT IS THAT?

THEY SAY THAT WHEN YOU WHEN YOU

CAN'T CAN'T SEE A HAND TRUST IS

HEART THIS PEOPLE.

THIS IS WHY WE WE NEED TO BE IN

THE WORD OF GOD BECAUSE THE

WORD OF GOD IS THE PLACE THAT

WE GO TO FIND OUT WHO HE IS,

HOW HE WANTS HE WANTS US TO

LIVE WHAT HIS PROMISES AND HIS

PROMISES ARE.

AND YOU KNOW, IF WE WILL

EMBRACE THAT AND HAVE DAY TO

DAY RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM,

WE'LL BE ABLE TO DO WHAT JACK

DID IN HARD PLACES IN OUR LIVES

HARD HARD, UNFAIR, UNJUST

SITUATIONS.

JUST SAY GOD I'M GIVING THIS TO

YOU AND I'M CHOOSING TO

FORGIVE.

SOMETIMES WE GET THAT ALL MIXED

UP.

WE THINK IF I FORGIVE SOMEBODY

I'M SAYING THAT WHAT THEY DID

WAS ALL NOT WHAT IT'S ABOUT.

LISTEN, FORGIVING IS LETTING GO

OF IT TRUSTING GOD AND IN THE

PROCESS YOU GET SET FREE

BECAUSE BITTERNESS WILL EAT YOU

ALIVE IF YOU ALLOW IT TO.

DON'T DO THAT.

GOD'S WAY IS BETTER.

IT'S YOU KNOW THE BIBLE SAYS

THIS MY WAYS ARE NOT YOUR WASTE

IS GOD.

THEY'RE HIGHER THAN YOUR WASTE.

MY THOUGHTS ARE NOT THOUGHTS

THEY'RE HIGHER THAN YOUR

THOUGHTS.

YOU CAN'T FIGURE OUT ENOUGH TO

STUDENTS AT EALING MIDDLE

SCHOOL IN MANCHESTER ARE

PARTICIPATING IN A PILOT

PROGRAM REQUIRING PHONES TO BE

LOCKED IN POUCHES DURING THE

WITH MAGNETIC LOCKS.

THIS ALLOWS STUDENTS TO KEEP

THEIR PHONES BUT NOT USE THEM

IN CLASS.

THE PROGRAM IS GETTING MIXED

REVIEWS BUT CHILDREN AGREE

BEING IN SCHOOL ISN'T SO BAD.

TIME TO TIME TIMES WE JUST

TAKE IT OUT AND USE THEM OUT OF

NOWHERE AND WE GET DISTRACTED

VERY EASILY AND I KEPT SAY I

AGREE WITH THAT.

THE GOVERNOR HOPES TO

ELIMINATE AT SCHOOL IT'S AN

ISSUE BEING CONSIDERED NATION

WIDE.

CBN'S OPERATION BLESSING IS

SO MANY PEOPLE JUST WALKED

RIGHT BY RICHARD.

HE'D BEEN ON THE STREETS OF

EAST L.A. FOR MONTHS.

HE LOOKED LIKE, YOU KNOW,

ANOTHER HOMELESS ADDICT SO NO

ONE GAVE HIM A SECOND THOUGHT

UNTIL A REAL LIFE ANGEL FELT

THE LORD TELLING HER TO HELP

HIM.

I COULD TELL THAT THIS IS

SOMEONE WHO'D BEEN ON THE

STREETS FOR MANY MONTHS.

HE'D OBVIOUSLY HAD AN

INJURY.

AND I THOUGHT WHAT IS HE DOING

OUT HERE?

YOU KNOW HE'S SO YOUNG AND

THERE MUST TO HIS STORY.

JODY LEE PATTERSON WAS IN

HER CAR WHEN SHE NOTICED A

YOUNG MAN WHO SHE THOUGHT WAS

HOMELESS LIMPING DOWN THE

SIDEWALK WEARING COAT AND NO

SHOES.

EAST LOS ANGELES OF A HARSH

WINTER AND SHE WAS CONCERNED

FOR HIM.

I JUST LOOKED AT HIM.

MY HEART BROKE AND THE LORD

SAID HELP HIM.

IN MY HEAD I WAS THINKING OH

THIS COULD BE DANGER WORSE, YOU

KNOW?

BUT I COULDN'T LEAVE HIM

THERE.

I JUST COULDN'T.

SO I DROVE OVER WITH MY CAR AND

,ROLLED MY WINDOW DOWN AND I

SAID CAN I HELP YOU?

YOU HUNGRY?

LET ME TAKE YOU TO GET

SOMETHING TO EAT.

HE HE SAID TO ME WHAT?

YOU'RE HELPING ME.

I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS.

WHILE HE ATE SHE ASKED HIM

ABOUT HIS SITUATION BUT HIS

RESPONSES WERE MUDDLED AND IT

BECAME CLEAR THAT HE HAD A HE

HAD A MENTAL DISORDER.

HE DIDN'T HAVE AN IDEA AND THE

ONLY THING SHE COULD GET FROM

HIM WAS HIS NAME.

RICHARD THERE WAS SORT OF

CHILDLIKE EXPRESSION THERE.

I THE LORD TELLING ME HELP

HELP HIM.

AND SO I JUST WENT WITH THAT

JODY LEE TOOK RICHARD TO A

MOTEL AFTER BUYING HIM SOME

WARM CLOTHES AND SHOES.

THE NEXT DAY SHE RETURNED TO

DRIVE HIM TO THE HOSPITAL AFTER

13 HOURS OF WAITING RICHARD WAS

ADMITTED AND FOUND TO BE

SUFFERING FROM EXHAUSTION, A

STRAINED LEG MUSCLE AND CRACKED

FEET WALKING THE STREETS

BAREFOOT.

THE DOCTOR WHO EXAMINED HAD

SOME POINTED QUESTIONS FOR

JODIE LEE AND HE SAID WELL, WHO

ARE YOU?

WHY ARE YOU WITH THIS YOUNG

MAN?

AND I SAID, WELL, I'M JUST A

FRIEND TRYING.

I THINK THEY COULDN'T BELIEVE

THAT SOMEBODY WOULD DO THAT TO

TO HELP SOMEBODY TO THAT

EXTENT.

AND I COULD SEE THAT THEY WERE

JUST PASSING HIM OFF AS ANOTHER

CRAZY DRUG ADDICT, WHICH HE

WASN'T.

OF COURSE THAT ME MORE TO HELP

HIM AND I HAD THIS FEELING OH I

DON'T KNOW IS HE REALLY

HOMELESS?

SO THAT SENT ME ON A QUEST TO

HOME AND FIND OUT MORE ABOUT

THIS PERSON BEFORE LEE LEFT.

RICHARD GAVE HER A LAST NAME

SALVATORE.

SHE SPENT THE NEXT TWO DAYS

RESEARCHING THE NAME UNTIL

FINALLY SHE SHE FOUND

SOMETHING.

A FACEBOOK POST FROM SOMEONE

LOOKING FOR THEIR BROTHER WHO

HAD GONE MISSING SEVERAL MONTHS

BEFORE JODIE LEE CALLED THE

LOCAL POLICE STATION TO VERIFY

THE INFORMATION.

IT WAS THEN THAT SHE IT WOULD

ACTUALLY BE UP TO HER AND GOD

TO GET RICHARD BACK FAMILY.

A WOMAN ANSWERED.

BUT SHE SAID WHAT INTEREST?

WHY ARE YOU A

IN THIS?

LIKE WHAT IS THIS?

THIS IS IS NOT YOUR BUSINESS

AND SHE WOULDN'T HELP ME.

I WAS.

I'M LIKE HOW IS THIS SYSTEM

SO BROKEN THAT WHEN YOU TRY TO

HELP SOMEONE THAT EVERYTHING

AGAINST YOU?

I FELT DISCOURAGED.

I'M STILL GOING TO I'M GOING TO

PUSH FORWARD.

GOD'S GOING TO DO TO DO IT.

HE'S GOING TO HELP ME.

JODIE LEE CALLED THE STATION

AGAIN NEXT DAY AND SPOKE WITH A

DIFFERENT OFFICER.

THIS TIME AN ANSWER.

HE CONFIRMED THAT THERE WAS A

MISSING PERSON BY THAT BY THAT

NAME AND GAVE HER THE PHONE

NUMBER OF RICHARD SISTER ERICA

.

JODIE LEE MADE THE CALL.

I SAID I FOUND YOUR BROTHER AND

SHE SAID WHAT?

I SAID FOUND RICHARD AND SHE

SAID I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT.

I SAID DON'T WORRY.

HE'S DOING REALLY WELL.

BUT CAN I ASK YOU SOMETHING

BEFORE?

I TELL YOU MORE.

I SAID WERE YOU PRAYING FOR HIM

.

AND SHE SAID YES.

WE WERE ALL PRAYING FOR HIM FOR

FOUR MONTHS AND I WAS LIKE I

KNOW I JUST FELT THAT.

I WAS JUST LIKE IN TEARS

EXCITED.

I JUST WAS SO EMOTIONAL BECAUSE

YOU WORST BUT THEN YOU JUST SO

WANT TO BE SO THANKFUL YOU KNOW

,BE ABLE TO SEE HIM AGAIN.

RICHARD AND ERICA AT THE

HOSPITAL.

I WAS STANDING OUTSIDE THE

ROOM.

I DIDN'T WANT TO INTERRUPT THAT

PROCESS WATCHED AND IT WAS

BEAUTIFUL.

IT WAS AN INCREDIBLE MOMENT.

JODIE LEE LEARNED FROM ERICA

THAT RICHARD IS 26 YEARS OLD

AND HAS A DISABILITY DUE TRAUMA

FROM HIS YOUTH WHICH CAUSES

SCHIZOPHRENIA.

HE'D WANDERED OUT OF THE

APARTMENT COMPLEX WHERE HE WAS

STAYING WITH HIS UNCLE.

THEY'D BEEN SEARCHING FOR HIM

EVER SINCE.

BOTH ERICA ARE GRATEFUL TO

JODIE LEE FOR HER GENEROUS

HEART.

SHE WAS THE ANSWER TO A LOT

OF OUR PRAYERS.

SHE'S A BLESSING AND RICHARD'S

THROUGH A LIFE GUARDIAN MADE ME

AND MADE ME HAPPY MADE MY DAY

BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE AND I

LEFT HERE ON AN AND I WAS LIKE

WHAT DO I DO?

I WANT TO SAY THANKS A LOT,

JODIE FOR HELPING ME ME.

JODIE LEE HAS MAINTAINED HER

FRIENDSHIP WITH RICHARD AND HIS

FAMILY THE LOVE OF JESUS WITH

HIM.

SHE GIVES GOD ALL ALL THE

GLORY FOR RICHARD'S SAFE RETURN

AND INSPIRING HER TO REACH OUT

.

ALL IT TOOK WAS ONE PERSON TO

IN HIM AND THIS YOU KNOW THAT

HE WASN'T HE WASN'T WHAT

EVERYONE THOUGHT THAT HE WAS

ACTUALLY SOMEBODY VERY SPECIAL.

I FEEL REALLY HONORED THAT

GOD WOULD USE ME.

I'M JUST A VERY REGULAR PERSON

AND IF GOD CAN USE ME, GOD CAN

USE ANYBODY.

STORY OF JODIE LEE AND BUT I

THINK JODIE LEE WOULD SAY IT'S

A GOD STORY, TERRY YOU KNOW,

YOU KNOW.

AND OF COURSE OF COURSE WE NEED

TO BE DISCERNING AND CAUTIOUS

IF WE CHOOSE TO ENGAGE IN A

SITUATION IN WHICH WE WANT TO

HELP THAT COULD BE DANGEROUS.

BUT.

BUT WHEN I SAW THAT STORY I WAS

THINKING, YOU KNOW, WE AS

PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS WHEN

WE TALK TO THE CHILDREN WE TALK

SO MUCH ABOUT THE STORY OF THE

GOOD SAMARITAN JESUS PARABLE,

THE GOOD SAMARITAN KIDS LEARN

THAT STORY AND THEN AS ADULTS

WE KIND OF STOP STUDYING IT AND

STOP READING IT BUT OUR SAVIOR

WASHED FEET.

BUT THIS WAS POWERFUL.

I MEAN THAT REALLY IT WAS THE

PARALLEL TO THAT STORY

BIBLICALLY AND THE DEPTHS TO

WHICH SHE WAS WILLING TO GO TO

HELP THIS YOUNG MAN.

IMPRESSIVE AND INSPIRING SHOULD

BE INSPIRING US RIGHT NOW.

ABSOLUTELY.

WELL, SHERI KEMP BELIEVES IN

THE POWER OF PRAYER WHEN HER

DOCTOR TOLD HER SHE NEEDED A

KNEE, SHE REFUSED.

SHERI HAD THE FAITH TO BELIEVE

BELIEVE FOR A SUPERNATURAL

HEALING.

THAT'S BECAUSE SHE'D ALREADY

RECEIVED ONE MIRACLE AND SO SHE

WAS EXPECTING ANOTHER.

IT WAS FRUSTRATING BECAUSE I

COULDN'T DO THE THINGS TO DO,

YOU KNOW, LIKE SWIM AND

EXERCISE PICK UP MY

GRANDCHILDREN WHEN THEY WERE

YOUNGER.

SHERI CAMP LED A HEALTHY,

ACTIVE LIFE UNTIL A FEW YEARS

AGO WHEN AND PAINFUL SHOULDER

INJURY BEGAN LIMITING HER

MOBILITY.

AS I'VE GOTTEN OLDER IT'S

GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE.

COULDN'T SLEEP ON MY RIGHT

SHOULDER LIFTING WEIGHTS AND

EVEN SMALL AMOUNT OF WEIGHT.

BUT HER SHERI GREW UP IN

CHURCH AND ALWAYS BELIEVED IN

HEALING.

BUT DESPITE HER PRAYERS THE

PAIN PERSISTED.

I'VE BEEN PRAYING FOR

HEALING FOR A LONG TIME.

LONG TIME AND YOU KNOW GOD HAS

A REASON FOR EVERYTHING.

SO I JUST KEEP BELIEVING I

DON'T GIVE UP.

OF 2022 SHERI TURNED ON THE 700

CLUB.

.

I WATCHED THE 700 CLUB

TYPICALLY EVERY DAY IF

POSSIBLE.

I'VE I'VE BEEN A MEMBER FOR A

LONG TIME AND GORDON WAS

SPEAKING ABOUT RIGHT SHOULDER

PAIN.

THERE'S SOMEONE YOU HEARD

THE REPORT THE RIGHT SHOULDER

SAYING RIGHT SHOULDER YOU TO

HAVE TOUCHING THAT SHOULDER

ACROSS YOUR BODY.

GOD IS IS JUST HEALED AND YOU

JUST FELT THAT PRESENCE THAT

JOINT IS NOW LOOSE AND YOU CAN

RAISE YOUR ARM ALL THE WAY UP.

JUST DO IT RIGHT NOW AND.

JESUS NOW THE PAIN WENT AWAY

AND I WAS MOVING MY ARM ALL

OVER, YOU KNOW, MOVING IT BACK

AND FORTH.

I COULD NEVER PUT IT BEHIND MY

MY BACK.

AND I CAN YOU KNOW, NOW DO

EVERYTHING.

I MEAN IT'S JUST AMAZING.

.

SINCE THAT DAY I'VE HAD FULL

RANGE OF MOTION AND NO PAIN

WHATSOEVER TO EXERCISE LIFT

WEIGHTS SWIM WHICH I DO AS MUCH

AS I POSSIBLY CAN.

SINCE THEN THEN.

SHE SAYS THE LORD HAS HEALED

HER IN SEVERAL OTHER AREAS AS

WELL.

WHEN I WENT TO THE DOCTOR HE

WAS TELLING ME I NEED A KNEE

REPLACEMENT.

I SAID NO THANK YOU, HAVE A

NICE DAY.

AND I CAME HOME AND I PRAYED

KNOW AND I SAID GOD, YOU MADE

ME YOU CAN HEAL ME.

MY KNEE IS FINE.

I JUST TRY TO LISTEN TO HIM AND

HE'S DIRECTING ME TO DO.

WE ONLY HAVE ONE BODY.

WE HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF IT SO

THAT HE CAN USE US FOR OUR

PURPOSE IN LIFE.

JERRY TO LEAD AN ACTIVE LIFE

AND WANTS TO SHARE WHAT JESUS

HAS DONE EVERYONE SHE CAN.

I CAN SEE HIM WORKING JUST

MY LIFE BUT IN PEOPLE AROUND

ME.

YOU KNOW AND I JUST POUR INTO

PEOPLE GOD POURS INTO ME.

AND SO I KNOW THAT I HAVE TO

OVERFLOW INTO OTHERS SO THAT

THEY CAN RECEIVE WHAT GOD HAS

FOR THEM AS WELL.

I WANT TO LEAVE A LEGACY OF

LOVE INSPIRED BY THE LORD GOD.

I WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW WHAT HE

DID IN MY LIFE.

A LEGACY OF FAITH AS WELL

FOR ALL OF US AS WE TAKE TIME

TO PRAY FOR YOU TODAY I WANT

YOU IN ADDITION TO SHARE HIS

STORY WITH THIS ONE.
