SIDE TO SAVE THE COUNTRY WE

LOVE.

TRUMP'S CAMPAIGN SEES VANCE

REACHING YOUNGER AUDIENCE AND

POTENTIALLY DRAWING SUPPORT

FROM SILICON VALLEY ALONG WITH

MONEY FROM BIG TECH DONORS.

STILL ONE POLITICAL OBSERVER

FROM VANCE'S HOME STATE TELLING

ME ON CBN'S FAITH NATION THE

FRESHMAN SENATOR WILL HAVE TO

THREAD THE NEEDLE ON

DIFFERENCES WITH HIS RUNNING

MATE ON TAXES A HARDER LINE ON

ABORTION AND A SEEMINGLY MORE

LABOR FRIENDLY APPROACH.

HIS VERY STRONG POPULIST

STREAK OVER THE LAST SEVERAL

YEARS WHERE HE SAYS THINGS LIKE

HE HAS IN COMMON ECONOMICALLY

WITH THE BERNIE SANDERS KIND OF

VOTERS ANOTHER PEOPLE THINK

THAT'S GOING TO CREATE SOME

SOME RED FLAGS OUT OF PARTS OF

THE REPUBLICAN COALITION.

BUT WEDNESDAY'S CROWD IN

MILWAUKEE CLEARLY APPROVING

TRUMP'S SELECTION.

VANCE FULFILLED HIS TWOFOLD

ROLE INTRODUCING HIMSELF TO A

NATIONAL AUDIENCE AND SETTING

THE STAGE FOR TONIGHT WHEN

TRUMP LESS THAN A WEEK AFTER

HIS ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT

ACCEPTS THE REPUBLICAN

NOMINATION FOR PRESIDENT AND

MAKES THE CASE FOR A POSSIBLE

RETURN TO THE HOUSE.

JOHN JESSUP, CBN NEWS,

WASHINGTON FOR MORE ON THIS

STORY WE HAVE CBN CHIEF

POLITICAL DAVID BRODY.

DAVID, YOU'RE BEING VERY BUSY

THIS YEAR SO.

GIVE US YOUR TAKE ON J.D.

VANCE'S SPEECH.

WHAT DID DID HE DELIVER?

OH, I THINK ABSOLUTELY HE DID.

YOU KNOW, IT REMINDS ME OF THE

MOVIE THE NATURAL FROM YOU

KNOW, WITH ROBERT REDFORD.

WELL, IN THIS CASE IT'S THE AS

YOU WILL REGARDING POLITICS.

HE WAS VERY, VERY GOOD.

HE HAD THE RIGHT GUY.

HE HAD THE FRIENDLY VIBE A LOT

AND REALLY, REALLY SMART GUY

WHO WAS ABLE DELIVER HEADY AND

WONKY POLICY ISSUES IN A VERY

TO UNDERSTAND WAY HE HAD ALL OF

THE WONDERFUL STORIES A MAMA

AND A GUN, HIS GUN TOTING JUST

JUST EVERYTHING JUST SEEMED

PITCH PERFECT AND AND THEN OF

COURSE THEN THE TIME WITH HIS

OUT OF THE MOMENT WITH HIS MOM

WHO WAS RECOVERING FROM DRUG

ADDICTION FOR MANY YEARS QUITE

A SPECIAL A SPECIAL MOMENT.

BUT LOOK, I CAN'T REMEMBER HOW

MANY TIMES HE SAID WISCONSIN,

PENNSYLVANIA AND MICHIGAN

BECAUSE HE IS FROM THE RUST

BELT.

THAT'S THE ALLURE.

THAT'S THE ELECTORAL

ATTRACTION, IF YOU WILL, TO

MAKE SURE HE CAN APPEAL ON

THOSE RUST STATES WHICH HE WILL

BE ABLE TO DO.

OF COURSE WE KNOW ABOUT

HILLBILLY ELEGY, A MOVIE BASED

ON HIS LIFE AND OF COURSE THE

BESTSELLING BOOK MAMA GOT

FAMOUS LAST NIGHT.

YOU KNOW, BOTH A COUSIN GUN

TOTING CHRISTIAN WHO WANTED TO

TAKE OVER ALL RIVALS AND AND

AND BUT BUT I DO HAVE

UNFORTUNATELY SOME LINGERING

QUESTIONS ABOUT ARE HE AND HIS

WIFE REALLY READY FOR THE STAGE

THEY'RE ENTERING INTO.

SOME OF IT WAS JUST SO

WONDERFUL AND AN ENDEARING AND

AND VERY PERSONAL.

BUT YOU YOU WONDER INTO IN

TODAY'S ATTACK POLITICS ARE

THEY READY FOR WHAT'S GETTING

READY TO HAPPEN.

WELL THAT'S A GREAT POINT

FORWARD AND THE ANSWER IS WE

DON'T KNOW IT IS AN UNKNOWN

MEAN LOOK IT'S HE'S ONLY BEEN A

SENATOR AND A HALF HE WASN'T

EVEN IN POLITICS A FEW YEARS

AGO.

GORDON THIS WAS THE FIRST

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION ANY

CONVENTION THAT HE'S BEEN TO.

SO I MEAN HE'S 39 YEARS OLD.

HE'LL BE 40 IN AUGUST.

HE'LL BE THE YOUNGEST VP SINCE

NIXON.

AND SO YEAH, THERE ARE STILL

A LOT OF UNANSWERED QUESTIONS

ABOUT HOW HE'S GOING TO HANDLE

THE SPOTLIGHT.

HE HAS NOT BEEN FULLY VETTED

FROM A NATIONAL PERSPECTIVE SO

THERE ARE A LOT OF REMAINING

QUESTIONS.

WELL CERTAINLY FROM I MEAN

THEY BOTH HAVE IN THE

INTELLECTUAL FIREPOWER.

GOODNESS GRACIOUS.

YOU LOOK AT THEIR CREDENTIALS

AND GO WOW, YOU KNOW, IT'S

WONDERFUL THAT THEY WANT TO

TAKE THIS ON.

I HAVE A LOT OF SYMPATHY

SYMPATHY FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS

TO ENTER THE NATIONAL STAGE

JUST POLITICS HAS TURNED INTO A

BLOODSPORT SPORT.

THE FACT THAT THEY'RE NOT

TURNED OFF BY THAT AND THEY

WANT TO EXPOSE THEMSELVES,

THEIR CHILDREN TOO TO THE

FIREPOWER THAT OUR POLITICS

WANTS TO UNLEASH ON FAMILIES.

THAT'S A I'VE GOT TO TIP MY HAT

TO HIM SO THANK YOU.

LET'S TALK ABOUT PRESIDENT

TRUMP TONIGHT.

WHAT DOES HE HAVE TO DELIVER

?

WELL, I TALKED TO A SENIOR

ADVISER JUST THIS MORNING FOR

TRUMP'S CAMPAIGN AND I SAID SO

WHO'S HELPING PRESIDENT WRITE

HIS SPEECH?

AND THE ANSWER WAS DONALD J.

TRUMP.

IT'S HIM NOW.

I DON'T HAVE ANY SENSE HE'S

GETTING OUT MICROSOFT WORD IN

TWEET AUTOCORRECT AND ACTUALLY

GOING WHEN HE SORT OF COMPUTER.

BUT THE POINT IS IS THAT IT IS

ALL FROM HIS TONIGHT IT WILL BE

STRAIGHT AS IT RELATES TO WHAT

TRUMP TO SAY HE'S FULLY IN

CONTROL OF THIS SPEECH

SPECIFICALLY.

SO WHAT WE EXPECT IS A LOT OF

TALK ABOUT UNITY BUT WHAT DOES

MEAN EXACTLY WHAT DOES IT LOOK

LIKE?

ARE WE GOING TO BE DONE WITH A

CROOKED JOE AND THE SLEEPY JOE

WITH THE X, Y AND Z THINGS HE

SAYS ABOUT JOE BIDEN?

I'M NOT SURE THAT WE WAIT TO

SEE WHAT THE TONE AND TENOR IS

LIKE BUT I GET THE SENSE GORDON

THIS WEEK THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP

SEEMS TO BE VERY, VERY MUCH A

DIFFERENT CHANGE MAN AT LEAST

THE WAY HE IS WE'RE BEING THE

WAY HE'S LOOKING AT THESE

SPEECHES IN THE HALLWAY HE JUST

SEEMS MORE RESERVED, MORE

REFLECTIVE THAN I'VE EVER SEEN

HIM BEFORE.

GORDON WELL, EXPECTING HIM

TO FREESTYLE THE WHOLE MOMENT

SO IT'LL IT'LL BE TYPICAL.

TRUMP AND WE'LL JUST SEE I HOPE

HE RISES TO THE OCCASION AND.

DEFINITELY WE NEED SPEECHES ON

UNITY IN AMERICA TODAY.

LET'S TALK ABOUT THE

DEMOCRATS AND IT LOOKS LIKE

TALK OF PRESIDENT BIDEN

STEPPING DOWN IS BACK IN THE

NEWS.

ADAM SCHIFF CAME OUT AND

PUBLICLY HE SHOULD WITHDRAW.

I'M HEARING REPORTS THAT THERE

PRIVATE MEETINGS WITH HIM.

WHAT'S THE LATEST?

WELL, FIRST OF ALL, LET'S

START WITH THIS.

HE'S GOT COVID SO THAT TAKES

HIM OFF THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL.

I'LL BE IN DELAWARE WEEKEND

RECOVERING.

SO YOU'RE OUT OF IT.

WHEN IT RAINS IT POURS RIGHT.

IT'S THE BAD DEBATE WEEK THEY

WANT TO HAVE OR A BAD DEBATE A

FEW WEEKS AGO WANT TO HAVE HIM

OUT NOW HE'S GOT COKE AND OF

COURSE NOW ALL REPORTS NOT JUST

ADAM SCHIFF SPECIFICALLY SAYING

THAT HE'S THINGS THAT BIDEN

NEEDS TO GET OUT OF THE RACE

BUT NOW THERE ARE REPORTS AND

HERE GO WITH THE LEAKING RIGHT.

I MEAN WE HEAR REPORTS NOW

ABOUT PRIVATELY NANCY PELOSI IS

TELLING BIDEN YOU KNOW, YOU'VE

TO GET OUT CHUCK SCHUMER SAYING

THE SAME THING.

WELL, GORDON, WHY ARE THESE

REPORTS COMING OUT ALL NOW THE

WAY WASHINGTON WORKS IS YOU GO

TO THE PRINCIPLE AT PLAY IN

THIS CASE BIDEN AND YOU SAY

IT'S TIME TO GO AND CLEARLY

BIDEN DOESN'T THINK YET IT'S

TIME TO GO.

AND SO YOU CAN BE SURE THAT

THESE STORIES WERE LEAKED TO

PUT PRESSURE ON HIM TOTALLY.

THIS IS THE WAY WASHINGTON

WORKS IT'S BEEN THAT WAY FOR

DECADES AND WE'RE SEEING THAT

PLAY RIGHT NOW.

I THINK THIS IS JUST A TICK

TICK TICK SCENARIO EVENTUALLY

JOE BIDEN WILL IN ESSENCE BE

FORCED, KICKED, DRAGGING AND

SCREAMING BUT HE'LL BE FORCED

TO STEP OUT OF THIS RACE.

WELL, I DON'T THINK GOING TO

TO VOLUNTARILY DO IT.

ARE WE LOOKING SOME KIND OF

FLOOR FIGHT AT THE DEMOCRATIC

CONVENTION?

THERE'S A MOVE AMONG THE

DELEGATES TOO.

AREN'T THEY BOUND BY THE

PRIMARY VOTE TO VOTE FOR?

WELL, THEY'RE BOUND EXCEPT

FOR THREE WORDS.

GOOD GOSH.

YOU SAY TWO WORDS GOOD

CONSCIENCE.

IN OTHER WORDS, THEY HAVE THEM

OUT IF THEY WANT TO VOTE THEIR

CONSCIENCE AND NOT VOTE FOR

BIDEN, THEY CAN TECHNICALLY DO

SO.

NOW HAVING SAID THAT, PRETTY

MUCH ARE PLEDGED TO BIDEN.

THERE'S NO DOUBT I MEAN THAT

WOULD BE A RADICAL MOVE.

BUT THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER

HERE, GORDON, IS THAT BIDEN IS

GOING WITH THIS GUY NAMED MIKE

DONLIN.

HE'S HIS INTERNAL CAMPAIGN

POLLSTER AND THAT'S ALL THE

PRIDE IS HERE IN THOSE POLL

NUMBERS AND IT'S NOT CORRECT

BECAUSE NANCY PELOSI, CHUCK

SCHUMER AND OTHERS ARE BRINGING

THEM OTHER POLL INFORMATION,

INTERNAL POLLS THAT SHOW IT'S

FAR WORSE THAN THE PUBLIC

POLLS.

FOR EXAMPLE, WISCONSIN

PENNSYLVANIA, MICHIGAN, ALL

MORE FIVE POINTS.

HE'S DOWN BY MORE THAN FIVE

POINTS IN THOSE THREE KEY RUST

BELT STATES.

YOU'LL NOTICE THAT THE PUBLIC

POLLS IT'S WITHIN TWO POINTS OR

SO THEY SAY IT'S WORSE THAN

THAT IT'S FIVE PLUS AND THEN OF

COURSE YOU HAVE GEORGIA ANOTHER

STATES THAT ARE JUST OUT OF

REACH.

THEY'RE NOT EVEN IN THE

MARGIN OF ERROR.

SO THIS IS THIS FEELS LIKE A

BIT OF A DENIAL SITUATION RIGHT

NOW FOR AND I JUST THINK IT'S A

MATTER OF TIME I WOULD SAY MARK

MY WORDS I'M PRETTY CONFIDENT

THAT HE'S GOING TO GET OUT

BEFORE THE BEFORE THE

CONVENTION.

OKAY.

WELL, THE CLOCK IS TICKING AND

I THINK ONCE THE CONVENTION

COMES AND GOES IF HE'S STILL

THE CANDIDATE, THEN THE TIME

HAS ACTUALLY RUN OUT FOR HIM TO

WITHDRAW.

THEN YOUR QUESTIONS CAN

COUNT ANOTHER CANDIDATE COULD

ACTUALLY MAKE IT TO THE BALLOT

?

RIGHT.

THERE'S A LOT OF A LOT OF

THINGS AT PLAY AND DAVID WE

LOOK FORWARD TO ALL OF YOUR

REPORTS AND I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE

STAYING BUSY.

THANKS FOR JOINING WITH US.

YOU BET.

I'LL GET SOME MORE SLEEP IF CAN

.

ALL RIGHT.

WELL ANOTHER THOSE SPEAKER OF

THE HOUSE MIKE IS CALLING FOR

THE HEAD OF THE SECRET SERVICE

TO STEP DOWN.

GARY LANE HAS THAT STORY AND

MORE FROM THE CBN NEWSROOM.

GORDON IN THE WAKE OF THE

ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT ON FORMER

PRESIDENT TRUMP.

SPEAKER JOHNSON SAYS KIMBERLEY

CHEADLE SHOULD RESIGN.

HE ALSO ANNOUNCED A

CONGRESSIONAL TASK FORCE TO

LOOK INTO SECURITY FAILURES

THAT ALLOWED THE GUNMAN TO COME

SO CLOSE TO SUCCEEDING.

NEW REPORTS REVEAL THE 20 YEAR

OLD SUSPECT WAS IDENTIFIED AS A

PERSON OF INTEREST.

ABOUT AN BEFORE THE SHOOTING

AND THE SECRET SERVICE SPOTTED

HIM ON THAT ROOF 20 MINUTES

BEFORE HE OPENED FIRE.

A SEARCH OF HIS PHONE SHOWS HE

LOOKED UP THE DATES OF THE

TRUMP RALLY AS WELL AS DATES

FOR THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL

CONVENTION IN NEXT MONTH.

EXPERTS AGREE THAT YOUNG PEOPLE

AMERICA ARE IN A MENTAL HEALTH

CRISIS.

SOME POINT FINGER AT CELL

PHONES AND SOCIAL MEDIA.

IN RESPONSE AND MORE STATES ARE

TRYING TO GET THOSE ADDICTIVE

DEVICES OUT OF CHILDREN'S HANDS

DURING SCHOOL HOURS.

MEDICAL REPORTER LAURIE JOHNSON

REPORTS ON NATIONAL MOVE THAT'S

GAINING MOMENTUM.

VIRGINIA GOVERNOR GLENN

YOUNGKIN ORDERED PUBLIC SCHOOLS

ACROSS THE STATE TO GO CELL

PHONE FREE BY JANUARY TO

PROMOTE A HEALTHIER AND MORE

FOCUSED EDUCATIONAL

ENVIRONMENT.

ONE NATIONAL STUDY FOUND 97% OF

KIDS USED THEIR CELL PHONES

DURING SCHOOL HOURS.

ANOTHER REVEALED NEARLY THREE

FOURTHS OF HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS

BELIEVE PHONES ARE A MAJOR

DISTRACTION.

AFTER SEEING STUDENTS WATCH

NETFLIX GAMBLING ONLINE AND

GLUED TO SOCIAL MEDIA SO GIVING

KIDS ACCESS TO SOMETHING THEY

CAN HAVE 24 SEVEN INTERACTION

WITH THEIR PEERS KIND OF THE

WORST THING WE WANT TO DO

ESPECIALLY IF IT'S DISTRACTING

FROM SCHOOLWORK.

EXPERTS POINT OUT KIDS

BRAINS DON'T FULLY DEVELOP

UNTIL THEIR TWENTIES BASED ON

THE SCIENCE WE KNOW THAT

THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS

MULTITASKING.

WE ALL ENGAGE SHIFTING.

SO HAVING A PHONE IN THE CLASS

REQUIRES LOT OF TASK SHIFTING

WHICH KIDS ARE NOT ABLE TO AS

WELL AS ADULTS.

LAST YEAR FLORIDA BECAME THE

FIRST STATE TO BAN CELL PHONES

AT SCHOOL.

INDIANA.

OHIO PASSED SIMILAR

LEGISLATION.

OKLAHOMA VERMONT, KANSAS, UTAH

AND NEW YORK MAY FOLLOW SUIT.

WE KNOW THAT WE'VE ALREADY

LOST TOO MANY KIDS OR KIDS THAT

ARE SPIRALING A LONG TIME NOW.

SOME SCHOOLS ARE DIVIDED

OVER WHETHER KIDS SHOULD

SURRENDER THEIR PHONES ONLY

DURING CLASS BUT HAVE THEM IN

BETWEEN CLASSES AT LUNCH AND

DURING OTHER FREE TIMES OR

WHETHER THEY SHOULD GIVE UP

THEIR PHONE THE ENTIRE DAY.

IN THAT INSTANCE SOME PARENTS

WORRY ABOUT BEING UNABLE

CONTACT THEIR CHILD A CONCERN.

OTHERS DOWNPLAY.

WHEN WE WERE GROWING UP WE

DIDN'T OUR PARENTS DIDN'T HAVE

CONSTANT TO US.

EVEN IN THE WORST CASE

SCENARIO OF A SHOOTING.

SOME EXPERTS SAY IT'S BETTER

FOR KIDS TO BE WITHOUT THEIR

PHONES CONSTANT NOTIFICATIONS

AND DINGS THAT ARE COMING

THROUGH FROM FAMILY TRYING TO

CHECK ON THEIR STUDENT MIGHT

ALERT THE ASSAILANT TO WHERE

ARE AND ALSO JAMS EMERGENCY

SIGNALS.

SO WHILE MANY SMARTPHONES

SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM THE

CLASSROOM NOT EVERYONE AGREES

ON THE BEST WAY TO DO THAT.

LORI JOHNSON, CBN NEWS.

TURNING TO ISRAEL WHERE, THE

KNESSET VOTED OVERWHELMINGLY

AGAINST THE ESTABLISHMENT OF

PALESTINIAN STATE WEDNESDAY

LAWMAKERS DECLARING IT WOULD

POSE EXISTENTIAL THREAT TO

ISRAEL AND ITS CITIZENS.

THE VOTE COMES JUST DAYS BEFORE

PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN

NETANYAHU'S VISIT TO WASHINGTON

AND FOR AN ADDRESS TO CONGRESS.

THE WHITE HOUSE HAS BEEN

PUSHING FOR A TWO STATE

SOLUTION.

ALSO YESTERDAY THE GROUP HUMAN

RIGHTS WATCH RELEASED A REPORT

CONFIRMING HAMAS COMMITTED

NUMEROUS AGAINST HUMANITY ON

OCTOBER 7TH CARRYING OUT

DELIBERATE AND INDISCRIMINATE

ATTACKS AGAINST CIVILIANS

INCLUDING SEXUAL AND GENDER

BASED VIOLENCE.

THE REPORT STATES KILLING

CIVILIANS AND TAKING HOSTAGES

WERE A CENTRAL GOALS OF THE

ATTACK AND NOT ISOLATED

INCIDENTS OR PLANS GONE WRONG

AS HAMAS HAS CLAIMED.

GORDON, BACK TO YOU.

I'LL PUT IT QUESTION TO YOU

HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN HAMAS IS

LYING WHEN THEY PUT OUT A PRESS

RELEASE, ANYTHING THAT'S COMING

OUT OF THOSE SO-CALLED GAZA

MINISTRY HEALTH AND ANYTHING

THAT THEY'RE SAYING AT THE

U.N..

ALL OF THESE HAVE BEEN PROVEN

FALSE AGAIN AND AGAIN AND

AGAIN.

WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS WHY

DOES OUR NEWS MEDIA CONTINUE

IT?

I MEAN THEY'VE GOT

QUALIFICATIONS NOW SAYING IT'S

YOU KNOW, THE HAMAS GAZA

MINISTRY OF HEALTH BUT IT'S

WE'VE GOT TO BE VERY SERIOUS

HERE.

WHAT THEY DID ON OCTOBER 7TH IS

ABSOLUTE UTTERLY HORRIFIC.

THAT'S WHERE THE WAR CRIMES

ARE NOT IN ISRAEL SAYING WE

HAVE TO DEMOLISH HAMAS.

IF YOU HAVE A GROUP JUST ACROSS

BORDER I'VE BEEN TO KFAR OSO,

YOU LITERALLY SEE GAZA IT'S A

STONE'S THROW AWAY.

AND IF THERE'S A GROUP THERE

THAT SAYS WE'RE GOING TO REPEAT

OCTOBER SEVEN AGAIN AND AGAIN

AND AGAIN, IT'S NOT SOMETHING

YOU CAN SAY.

OKAY, WELL GO AHEAD.

YOU CAN'T DO THAT AND BE A

SOVEREIGN NATION.

YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO DEFEND

YOURSELF.

YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO FIND THE

LEADERSHIP AND IF YOU DO NOT

SURRENDER WELL

HAVE TO WIPE YOU OUT.

YOU'RE MAKING US DO THIS.

AND IF THAT GROUP THEN SAYS

WELL WE'RE GOING TO SET UP IN

SCHOOLS AND, HOSPITALS AND U.N.

OFFICES AND MOSQUES AND

CHURCHES.

WELL THEN YOU HAVE TO GO IN

THERE AND GET THEM OUT.

YOU DON'T HAVE A CHOICE.

PLEASE LET US ALL WAKE UP TO IT

SOMEBODY STAY CONNECTED WITH

CBS NEWS ALL DAY ACROSS OUR

PLATFORMS.

WELL, THE RETURN OF THE

HOSTAGES HELD IN GAZA IS THE

TOP CONCERN FOR MANY.

AND HOSTAGE FAMILIES ARE

PRESSURING THE GOVERNMENT TO

NEGOTIATE WITH HAMAS FOR THEIR

RELEASE.

OTHERS ARE FOR ELIMINATING THE

TERRORIST GROUP ALTOGETHER.

CBS MIDDLE EAST CORRESPONDENT

JULIE STAHL HAS THE STORY.

AS A SECURITY GUARD AT THE NOVA

FESTIVAL, 18 MORE SAVED MANY

PEOPLE BEFORE.

HAMAS TERRORISTS KIDNAPED HIM.

HE JUST CELEBRATED HIS 24TH

BIRTHDAY IN CAPTIVITY.

ETHAN IS A YEAR HE COULD

ESCAPE.

HE CHOSE TO TO HELP PEOPLE TO

SAVE PEOPLE.

ETAN'S FATHER, SPEAKER MOORE

TELLS CBN NEWS THEY TWO REPORTS

FROM ISRAELI INTELLIGENCE THAT

HIS SON IS ALIVE.

ONE BEFORE THE FIRST DEAL IN

THE FIRST 50 DAYS AFTER OCTOBER

SEVEN.

AND THE OTHER ONE WAS FROM

ONE OF THE OTHER HOSTAGES WHO

WAS RELEASED.

HE SAID TO THE INTELLIGENCE

THAT HE SAW IT DONE IN A TUNNEL

AND THEY SET TOGETHER IN SPEECH

SHORTLY AFTER OCTOBER 7TH MORE

FELT THE NEED SUPPORT A STRONG

MILITARY EFFORT RATHER THAN A

DEAL WITH HAMAS FOR THE RETURN

OF HIS SON AND OTHER HOSTAGES.

THAT'S WHY HE HELPED START THE

TIKVAH OR HOPE FORUM.

WE WERE HERE IN THE SHALIT

DEAL.

THAT'S CRAZY DEAL AND WE THAT

GOD GAVE US THIS ROLE TO STOP

AND TO SAVE THE PEOPLE OF

ISRAEL FROM ANOTHER CRAZY DEAL.

IDF SOLDIER GILAD SHALIT

KIDNAPED BY TERRORISTS IN 2006

GAINED HIS FREEDOM FIVE YEARS

LATER IN EXCHANGE FOR THE

RELEASE OF MORE THAN A THOUSAND

MOSTLY PALESTINIAN AND SOME

ISRAELI ARAB PRISONERS INCLUDED

IN THAT GROUP YAKIR SINWAR, THE

HAMAS LEADER IN GAZA AND

MASTERMIND OF THE OCTOBER

SEVENTH ASSAULT.

ONLY ONE TERRORISTS ENOUGH

TO MAKE OCTOBER SEVEN AS WE

SAW.

SO THAT'S THE REASON THAT WE

THE COVER FORM BECAUSE WE HAVE

A DIFFERENT AND MESSAGES FROM

THE OTHER FAMILIES.

IRONICALLY, MONTHS BEFORE

THE ASSAULT ETAN AND HIS FATHER

TALKED DURING A SHABBAT MEAL

ABOUT THE DEAL LEADING TO GILAD

SHALIT TO RELEASE IT AND TOLD

US THAT IF HE WILL BE HOSTAGE

HE DON'T ALLOW US TO RELEASE

HIM FOR TERRORISTS.

DOZENS OF HOSTAGES RELATIVES

MAKE UP THE TIKVA FORUM.

THEIR MOTTO ONLY PRESSURE HAMAS

FOR THE RELEASE OF THE HOSTAGES

NOT THE GOVERNMENT.

ISRAEL MUST DEFEAT HAMAS NOT

ONLY FOR THE HOSTAGES BUT FOR

ALL THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL FROM

THE 7 MILLION AND A HALF JEWS

HERE IN THE STATE OF ISRAEL.

MORE I GAVE PRIME EXAMPLES

FROM THE SEVENTIES WHERE ISRAEL

RESCUED HOSTAGES INSTEAD OF

MAKING DEALS.

THEY INCLUDED HIGH EVENTS LIKE

THE HIJACKING THAT LED TO THE

ENTEBBE RAID.

THE PLO'S ATTACK OF TEL AVIV'S

SAVOY HOTEL AND THE ATTACK AND

KIDNAPING OF CHILDREN ON A

FIELD TRIP IN NORTHERN ISRAEL.

EVEN SO, HE DOESN'T BELIEVE ALL

THE HOSTAGES CAN BE RESCUED IN

AN OPERATION LIKE WE SAW IN

EARLY JUNE.

BUT CAN PRESS HAMAS.

LOOK, TODAY WE WERE HAMAS A

CRAZY HUMANITARIAN AID.

IT'S NOT ONLY AND WATER IT'S

CIGARETS AND CANDIES AND

PASTRIES AND EVERYTHING.

WE CAN SEE IT ALL OVER THE

MARKETS AND IN GAZA.

SO WE HAVE TO MAKE THE CRISIS

IN GAZA IF WE WANT GET OUR

LOVED ONES.

I WANT THEM TO TO BEG US FOR

FOR A HALF A CUP OF WATER AND

AFTER THEY WILL GIVE US OUR

HOSTAGES WE HAVE TO CONTINUE TO

CRUSH THE HAMAS.

AND HE ADDS ISRAEL MUST STAY

IN GAZA AND EVENTUALLY RESETTLE

BECAUSE IF NOT HAMAS WILL ONLY

REORGANIZE.

THEY HAVE ONLY ONE TARGET

DESTROYING ISRAEL.

GOD GAVE US THIS COUNTRY AND.

THIS COASTLINE IS OUR.

LIKE ALL OF THIS IS OUR LENS SO

WE DON'T HAVE TO BE SHAME.

THIS IS OUR ONLY STATE ON THE

GLOBE.

MOORE SAYS IT'S ALL ABOUT

THE FUTURE ISRAEL AND THAT'S

WHAT THE TEAK FORUM IS.

YOU MUST SUPPORT THE STATE

OF ISRAEL AND ESPECIALLY TO

GIVE A FORUM AS HOSTAGES

FAMILIES WE ARE IN THE FRONT OF

THE WAR.

I LOST MY JOB SINCE OCTOBER

SEVEN AND I AM A FATHER OF

EIGHT KIDS.

HE SAYS AMERICA STAND WITH

ISRAEL FOR AMERICA'S OWN GOOD.

WE ARE FIGHTING YOUR WAR.

THESE BARBARIANS ARE ON THE WAY

TO EUROPE AND TO AMERICA.

IF YOU WANT TO LEAVE.

YOU HAVE TO STAND WITH US.

YOU HAVE HELP US TO CRUSH THEM

HERE BEFORE COMING TO AMERICA.

JULIE STAHL CBN

NEWS FABRIZIO ON JUDEA AND

SAMARIA.

WELL THAT'S A STORY YOU'RE

NOT GOING TO SEE ANYWHERE ELSE

WHEN YOU LOOK BACK AT THE

HISTORY THAT ONE ISRAELI

SOLDIER WAS KIDNAPED HELD IN

GAZA AND IN RETURN FOR HIS

LIFE.

ISRAEL AGREED TO RELEASE A

THOUSAND TERRORISTS.

THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO HAD KILLED

ISRAELIS WHO HAVE BEEN

CONVICTED IN A COURT OF LAW OF

THESE CRIMES.

ONE OF THEM WAS SINWAR.

AND WHAT HE HAD DONE IS HE HAD

KILLED FOUR FELLOW ARAB MUSLIMS

AND THE REASON HE KILLED THEM

IS THEY HAD DONE SOME KIND OF

DEAL ISRAELIS AND HE THOUGHT

THAT THAT WAS COOPERATE WITH

THE ENEMY.

AND BECAUSE OF THAT YOU HAD TO

BE EXECUTED.

SO HE MURDERED.

HE SPENT 20 YEARS IN AN ISRAELI

PRISON AND WHAT DID HE DO WITH

THAT TIME?

HE LEARNED HEBREW SO THAT HE

COULD GET BETTER AT KILLING

ISRAELIS.

HE COULD UNDERSTAND THEIR

COMMUNICATIONS, THEIR

INTELLIGENCE.

THAT'S WHAT HE DID WITH HIS

TIME.

WHEN LOOK AT THAT AND THAT KIND

OF IDEOLOGY OF HATRED THAT I AM

GOING TO SPEND ALL MY ENERGY

THE DESTRUCTION OF JEWS, I'M

GOING TO KILL.

WE HAVE TO RECOGNIZE THAT

FOR WHAT IT IS IT IS THE FACE

OF EVIL AND IT WAS SHOWN

CLEARLY TO THE ENTIRE ON

OCTOBER 7TH.

LET US ALL STAND TOGETHER THAT

THAT KIND OF IDEOLOGY HAS NO

PLACE IN THE WORLD TODAY.

WE VOWED AFTER THE HOLOCAUST

NEVER THE THE WORLD CAME

TOGETHER AND SAID NO, THIS

SHOULD NEVER EVER BE ALLOWED TO

HAPPEN AGAIN.

WE HAVE A GROUP OF TERRORISTS

THERE.

THEY'RE FUELED BY HORRIBLE

HATRED AND AN IDEOLOGY THAT

REWARDS THAT HATRED AND THEY

PAY PEOPLE FOR KILLING JEWS.

WE HAVE TO STAND AGAINST IT AND

SAY NOT ON OUR WATCH.

WE VOWED NEVER AGAIN.

WE MEAN IT.

IF YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE ON

ISRAEL, YOU'RE TAKING US TOO.

AND LET US RECOGNIZE THAT THAT

SAYS ISRAEL IS THE LITTLE SATAN

.

AMERICA IS THE GREAT SATAN

SATAN.

SO YES, WE'LL BE THE NEXT

TARGET AND THEY'RE GEARING UP

THAT AS WELL.

NOW'S THE TIME TO STAND THE

TIME TO SAY NO, YOU DON'T GET

LET'S GO BIRDS WHEN FREEDOM

CALLS WE'RE HERE TO ANSWER.

YOU WON'T FIND THEIR NAMES

ON THE DECLARATION OF

INDEPENDENCE AND YET THEY

PLEDGED THEIR LIVES, THEIR

FORTUNE AND THEIR SACRED TO

THIS NATION.

THEY ARE THE JEWISH HEROES OF

THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION AND

HERE ARE THEIR STORIES THAT

TIME THEIR MISBAH QAMAR CALLED

ME BEN, I AM SORRY.

THERE'S GOING TO BE A STORY.

THERE'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE A

STORY.

THE HISTORY THE JEWS IN THE

AMERICAN REVOLUTION IS NOT

ONE A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW WHAT

THAT THE STORY OF AMERICA AND

THE JEWISH PEOPLE ARE LINKED

TOGETHER INEXORABLY.

JOHN IN SEPTEMBER 1654 SIX

FAMILIES OF PORTUGUESE JEWS

FROM RECIFE, BRAZIL ARRIVED IN

NEW AMSTERDAM MODERN DAY NEW

YORK CITY.

MORE WOULD ARRIVE IN THE NEXT

HUNDRED YEARS MY LATE INTO THE

18TH CENTURY THE JEWISH

POPULATION WAS ONLY 0.01% OF

THE COLONIAL POPULATION AROUND

2500 INDIVIDUALS.

HOWEVER, WHEN CAME TO WINNING

AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE FROM THE

BRITISH, MANY WOULD GIVE THEIR

FINANCES AND THEIR LIVES.

WHEN WAR BROKE OUT IN APRIL

OF 1775, THE OLDEST

CONGREGATION THE UNITED STATES

SHARE OF ISRAEL THE NEW YORK

CITY FOUNDED BY SEPHARDIC JEWS

IN 1654 HAD TO CLOSE DOWN FEAR

OF THE BRITISH.

BUT ISRAEL STOOD STRONG AND.

WE DID NOT HAVE THAT IMPEDIMENT

TO HAVE US CLOSED DOWN AND

DISCONTINUE AND TO THE

CONTRARY, WHEN THE WAR STARTED

BECOME MORE SEVERE WE HAD A

NUMBER OF OUR MEMBERS WHO NOT

ONLY STOOD UP THEIR CALLING TO

FUND THE REVOLUTION I'M

REFERRING TO FIGURES SUCH AS

THE GREAT HAIM SOLOMON WHO WAS

ARGUABLY THE LARGEST

PHILANTHROPIST, THE GREATEST

FINANCIER OF WASHINGTON'S ARMY

AND NAVY.

BUT WE HAD WE ALSO HAD MEMBERS

WHO FOUGHT IN THE WAR WHO

SERVED IN WASHINGTON'S ARMY TO

FIGHT FOR THE CAUSE OF LIBERTY.

RABBI YOSEF ZHAN DAEJEON OF

MIKVA, ISRAEL IN PHILADELPHIA,

PENNSYLVANIA KNOWN AS THE OF

THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

MIKVA ISRAEL IS THE OLDEST

CONTINUOUS IN THE UNITED

STATES.

THE ONE OF ITS FOUNDERS,

HAIM, POLISH JEW WHO IMMIGRATED

TO THE COLONIES IN THE 1770S IS

LARGELY RESPONSIBLE FOR

FINANCING GEORGE WASHINGTON'S

ARMY DURING THE REVOLUTION.

A WELL-KNOWN BROKER, THE

CONTINENTAL CONGRESS NAMED HIM

TREASURER OF THE ARMY AND WHAT

WE KNOW ABOUT HAIM SOLOMON'S

LIFE THE CAUSE OF HIS FINANCIAL

SUPPORT WAS TWOFOLD.

ON ONE LEVEL IT WAS

PERSONAL.

HE HAD MANY DEALINGS WITH THAT

HAD HIM IMPRISONED BY THEM A

NUMBER OF TIMES AND IT WAS ALSO

A CAUSE IN PRINCIPLE.

HE FELT THAT THE AMERICAN CAUSE

NOT ONLY ALIGNED WITH HIS

VALUES A JEW BUT ALSO ALIGNED

WITH WHAT WOULD BE BEST FOR THE

FUTURE OF THIS NATION THE

VALUES THAT THE UNITED WOULD

ULTIMATELY ADOPT AND RATIFY

INTO THE CONSTITUTION AND.

THE BILL OF RIGHTS.

I BELIEVE HAIM SOLOMON SAW

THOSE TO BE THE MOST FIRM, THE

MOST JUST AND THE MOST VALUES

TO BY WHICH TO FOUND A NATION.

ON OCTOBER 19TH, 1781

BRITISH GENERAL CHARLES

CORNWALLIS SURRENDER HIS ARMY

OF SOME 8000 MEN TO GENERAL

GEORGE WASHINGTON AT YORKTOWN

VIRGINIA.

I AM SOLOMON IS CREDITED TO

FINANCING THAT FINAL BATTLE HE

WAS NEVER REPAID BY THE

AMERICAN GOVERNMENT AND DIED

PENNILESS FOUR YEARS OLD.

HE ALONG WITH MANY OTHER

CONGREGANTS MIKVAH ISRAEL WHO

GAVE THEIR LIVES AND FINANCES

FOR THE CAUSE OF FREEDOM ARE

BURIED IN THE SPRUCE STREET

CEMETERY IN PHILADELPHIA.

THE SALVE HAD ITS PATRIOTS

AS WELL.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I

THOUGHT WAS VERY INTERESTING

WAS IN CHARLESTON WHICH WAS

ONE OF THE CENTERS OF JEWISH

LIFE YOU HAVE SO MANY JEWISH

ENLISTING THAT THEY ACTUALLY

CALLED IT THE JEWISH REGIMENT

WHICH I THOUGHT WAS REALLY

INTERESTING BECAUSE YOU DON'T

SEE THAT OTHER AMERICAN

CONFLICT.

20 THREE YEAR OLD ZEEV KARMI

WORKING ON HIS MASTERS AT THE

UNIVERSITY OF WEST VIRGINIA IS

PUBLISHED ON SUBJECT TO BIGOTRY

NO SANCTION TO PERSECUTION, NO

ASSISTANCE JEWS IN THE AMERICAN

REVOLUTIONARY PERIOD.

A LOT OF THEM ARE MOTIVATED

BY ECONOMIC PRAGMATISM RATHER

THAN IDEOLOGICAL.

THESE HIGH MINDED EQUALITY

LIBERTY, JUSTICE THESE ARE

REALLY HIGH MINDED ABSTRACT

IDEALS.

A LOT OF THEM ARE MUCH MORE

CONCERNED WITH YOUR EVERYDAY

THINGS THAT YOU AND I WOULD BE

WORRIED ABOUT IS MIGHT CAN I

GROW MY BUSINESS?

WILL THE TAXES WILL THE HIGH

BRITISH TAXATION HURT MY

BUSINESS?

THAT'S WHY A LOT OF THESE

JEWISH MERCHANTS SUPPORT THE

PATRIOT AND CONVERSELY YOU'VE

GOT A LOT OF THE LOYALISTS WHO

SAY I'VE BEEN HAVING IT PRETTY

GOOD WITH THESE BRITISH.

THEY'RE A LOT BETTER MOST

OTHER EUROPEAN POWERS.

WHY ROCK THE BOAT.

AND IT'S JUST LIKE ANY OTHER

GROUP THAT THEY'RE TO JUST DO

WHAT THEY THINK IS RIGHT IN A

DIFFICULT TIME.

HOWEVER, THE JEWS WHO SIDED

WITH THE PATRIOTS ARE

REMEMBERED IN MEMORIAL

DOWNTOWN CHARLESTON, SOUTH

CAROLINA.

THE DIORAMA HONORS A MAN CALLED

THE PAUL REVERE OF THE SOUTH.

HIS NAME FRANCIS SALVADOR.

SALVADOR IS AN INTERESTING

FIGURE BECAUSE HE'S ACTUALLY AN

OPEN JEW ELECTED TO THE

CAROLINA.

HE GIVES THAT UP.

HE GOES TO SERVE AND HE DIES.

SALVADOR WAS THE FIRST JEW

ELECTED TO PUBLIC OFFICE IN IN

THE COLONIES AND TO DIE FOR

AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE.

THERE WERE OTHERS.

YOU LEARN HISTORY ALA CARTE SO

YOU LEARN HISTORY AS IT CROSSES

YOUR DESK.

HOW NATHAN RAAB, ANTIQUITIES

EXPERT, AUTHOR AND PRESIDENT

THE RAAB COLLECTION LEARNED OF

ANOTHER JEWISH PATRIOT RAY.

RAAB WAS CONTACTED A FEW YEARS

AGO ABOUT AN ARTIFACT THAT

SPOKE OF A JEWISH MERCHANT FROM

CHARLESTON AND A REVEREND FROM

THE NORTH.

WHAT SURVIVED FROM THAT TIME

WAS TWO PAGES FROM A DIARY

WHILE TRYING TO ESCAPE FROM A

BRITISH PRISON SHIP.

REVEREND MOSES ALLEN DROWNED.

AND HIS DIARY RETRIEVED FROM

HIS POCKET.

HIS DESCENDANTS PASSED IT ON

FOR GENERATIONS AND THEY

DESCRIBED A UNIQUE AND POWERFUL

FRIENDSHIP AND THAT FRIENDSHIP

WITH A JEW WHO HAD ALSO BEEN

ACTIVE DURING THE AMERICAN

REVOLUTION A MAN NAMED

MORDECHAI SCHEFTER AND

DESCRIBES THE SHARED EXPERIENCE

THEY HAD ON BOARD THIS PRISON

SHIP AT THE TIME MORDECHAI

SCHEFTER WAS THE HIGHEST

RANKING JEWISH OFFICER OF THE

COLONIAL FORCES.

WHAT YOU IN THE PAGES OF THE

DIARY IS THAT THE BRITISH

CAPTORS USED THE JUDAISM OF

MORDECHAI SCHEFTER AND HIS SON

WHO WERE PRISONER ON BOARD THE

SHIP.

THEY WERE OBSERVANT JEWS IN

EARLY AMERICA FIGHTING FOR THE

REVOLUTIONARY.

SO WHEN THEY OFFERED THEM THE

PORK AND THE JEWS DECLINED.

MORDECHAI CHEF AND HIS SON

DECLINED.

THEY SMEARED THEIR UTENSILS

WITH PORK GREASE TO

INTENTIONALLY TORTURE THEM AND

HIGHLIGHT THE FACT THEM BECAUSE

THEY WERE JEWISH AND BECAUSE

THEY WERE KEEPING KOSHER.

REVEREND ALLAN DESCRIBED THE

COURAGE AND FORTITUDE OF THESE

JEWISH CAPTIVES.

MOSES DOWN WROTE OF THE GREAT

RESPECTS THAT HE WISHED HE WAS

ABLE TO LIVE UP TO THE THE

GRACE THAT THEY SHOWED.

COLONEL SCHEFTER ALSO GAVE

VAST AMOUNTS OF MONEY TO THE

WAR EFFORT.

LIKE MANY OTHERS, ISAAC MOSES,

AARON LOPEZ WAS MICHAEL GRATZ

AND JOSEPH SIMON.

THEY WERE NEVER REPAID AND MOST

BEING MERCHANTS LOST SHIPS AND

GOODS TO THE BRITISH.

THE JEWISH PEOPLE LIKE MANY WHO

FOUGHT FOR AMERICAN FREEDOM ARE

PART OF A GREAT MELTING POT

NATIONS THAT MAKE UP TODAY'S 50

STATES.

ON THE ONE HAND THE JEWISH

PEOPLE REALIZED THAT WE A

NATION IN EXILE.

WE DON'T FORGET THAT.

BUT BY THE SAME TOKEN WE ARE

NOT JUST ALIENS.

WE'RE NOT ENTIRELY FOREIGNERS.

WE'RE ALSO RESIDENTS.

I WAS BORN IN THIS COUNTRY.

LOVE THIS COUNTRY.

I PLAN TO STAY IN THIS COUNTRY.

I PLAN TO DIE IN THIS COUNTRY.

BUT I'M JEWISH FIRST AND

FOREMOST AND THAT'S THE WAY THE

JEWISH PEOPLE HAVE BEEN FOR

2000 YEARS.

THAT'S THE WAY THE PROPHET

JEREMIAH INSTRUCTED TO ACT THAT

THEY WERE TO PRAY FOR THE

BLESSING OF THE CITY THAT

THEY'RE IN FOR THE NATION THAT

THEY'RE IN AND.

THIS IS A PART OF AMERICAN

HISTORY THAT IS LARGELY UNTOLD.

BUT WITHOUT IT THE THE JEWISH

PARTICIPATION IN THE AMERICAN

REVOLUTION AND THAT WAS BOTH

THEIR LIVES, THEIR BLOOD, THEIR

EFFORT VOLUNTEERING FOR THE

ARMY BUT ALSO VERY TANGIBLE

FINANCIAL AID TO THEIR OWN

DETRIMENT WHERE THEY WERE

LITERALLY BANKRUPTING

THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILIES.

SO THAT THE CONTINENTAL ARMY

WOULD HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO

CONTINUE FIGHTING.

I'M A STUDENT OF AMERICAN

HISTORY.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE LETTERS

FROM GEORGE WASHINGTON TO THE

CONTINENTAL CONGRESS BEGGING

THEM FOR MONEY SO THAT HE COULD

THE TROOPS IN THE FIELD AS

THEY'RE PREPARING FOR BATTLE

AND THEN GETTING THE RESPONSE

WELL, WE DON'T HAVE IT WHERE OR

OUT.

AND THEN HAVING THIS JUST

INCREDIBLE OUTPOURING OF

SUPPORT.

IT'S AN UNTOLD PART OF AMERICAN

HISTORY AND IT'S ONE I THINK

THAT NEEDS TO BE TOLD AGAIN AND

AGAIN AND AGAIN.

HERE'S ANOTHER PART OF AMERICAN

HISTORY YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW WHAT

WAS GEORGE WASHINGTON'S

FAVORITE VERSE THE BIBLE.

IT'S THE ONE HE QUOTED OVER 50

TIMES IN HIS PRIVATE

CORRESPONDENCE.

YOU FIND IT IN MICAH CHAPTER

FOUR VERSE FOUR BUT EVERYONE

SHALL SIT UNDER HIS VINE AND

UNDER HIS FIG TREE AND NO

ONE SHALL MAKE THEM AFRAID FOR

THE MOUTH OF THE LORD OF HOSTS

HAS SPOKEN.

HE USED THAT VERSE IN

WRITING A LETTER A SYNAGOGUE IN

RHODE ISLAND WHERE HE

ESTABLISHED.

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE AFRAID.

I WANT YOU TO BE TO SIT UNDER

YOUR VINE AND UNDER YOUR FIG

TREE AND ONE MAKE YOU AFRAID.

IT'S ONE OF THE PILLARS OUR

REPUBLIC THAT WE HAVE FREEDOM

OF RELIGION.

WE FREEDOM OF CONSCIENCE.

EVERYONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO

LIVE AND NOT BE AFRAID.

NOW TODAY'S AMERICA ARE JEWS

AFRAID.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE PROTESTS

IN NEW YORK AND THE UNIVERSITY

OF UNIVERSITY OF THESE THESE

ARE UNIVERSITIES THAT GO BACK

TO THAT COLONIAL PERIOD.

AND HAVE THEY LOST SIGHT OF

THE GREAT LIVES OR TEA THAT WAS

PURCHASED BY OUR REVOLUTION

THAT EVERYONE BE ABLE TO HAVE

NO FREEDOM OF NO FEAR AT ALL

AND LIVE FREE?

LET'S COME BACK TO THAT.

LET'S BE REMINDED OF

WASHINGTON'S PRAYER OF

PRESIDENT ADAMS PRAYERS OF

PRESIDENT PRAYERS.

THERE'S A REVISIONIST HISTORY

WHERE SOMEHOW THEY WERE DEVIOUS

AND THEY DIDN'T REALLY BELIEVE

IN CHRISTIANITY, TALKED ABOUT

PROVIDENCE AND FAILED AND ALL

THOSE KINDS THINGS.

WHEN YOU READ THEIR PRAYERS AND

THESE ARE PRIVATE PRAYERS ARE

ONES THEY PUT IN PUBLIC

DECLARATIONS.

THEY END PRAYING TO JESUS.

WITHOUT HIM WE CAN'T HAVE

ANYTHING WE'RE CALLING OUR

NATION TO PRAY AND PRAY THAT WE

KEEP THESE LIBERTIES.

AND YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN JESUS.

THAT'S OKAY.

IT'S IT'S PART OF OUR FABRIC.

IT'S PART OF OUR REPUB LOOK

.

WE HAVE FREEDOM OF RELIGION.

WE HAVE FREEDOM OF CONSCIENCE

BUT LET US ALL BE REMINDED IT

WAS CHRISTIANS PUT THAT IN

PLACE AND THEY DID IT BASED ON

THE BIBLE MICAH CHAPTER FOUR

VERSE FOUR SHOULD ONCE AGAIN

BECOME A VERY POPULAR PRAYER IN

AMERICA TODAY.

IF YOU WANT TO JOIN US WE'RE

CALLING PEOPLE TO PRAY BECAUSE

I THINK OUR NATION IS DIVIDED.

I THINK PEOPLE ARE LIVING FEAR

TODAY AND WE NEED TO SAY NO

ONE CAN MAKE YOU AFRAID.

YOU LIVE IN AMERICA.

YOU BE FREE.

YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO BE UNDER

YOUR OWN VINE AND FIG TREE AND

ONE 800 466 1925

WELCOME BACK TO THE 700 CLUB

FOR THE CBN NEWSBREAK.

BLOWBACK FROM A CALIFORNIA LAW

FORBIDDING SCHOOL OFFICIALS TO

NOTIFY PARENTS WHEN THEIR

CHILDREN REQUEST TO CHANGE

THEIR GENDER IDENTITY.

GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM SIGNED

INTO LAW A FEW DAYS AGO.

IN RESPONSE, BILLIONAIRE

BUSINESSMAN ELON MUSK ANNOUNCED

HE'S MOVING HIS SOCIAL MEDIA

AND SPACE X BUSINESSES OUT OF

CALIFORNIA.

MUSK SAID HE'LL TAKE THE

CALIFORNIA LAWS ARE ATTACKING

FAMILIES AND COMPANIES.

ONE MINNESOTA MAN AN IMPRESSIVE

NEW TITLE JIM OPPEGARD NOW

SPECIAL EDUCATION NEEDS,

OPPEGARD BOSS SAYS HE'S NEVER

MISSED A DAY OF WORK AND STILL

TESTS WITH FLYING COLORS.

RECORD HOLDER SAYS THE SECRET

GORDON AND TERRY WILL BE BACK

WITH MORE OF THE 700 CLUB RIGHT

AFTER THIS.

MOVEMENT THAT SOOTHES PAIN AND

NATURALLY PROMOTES HEALTHY

CIRCULATION.

NOW IN A GOOD MONTH AS

HUSBAND EARNED JUST $150 THAT

WASN'T ENOUGH TO PROVIDE FOR

THE FAMILIES BASIC NEEDS IN A

BAD MONTH WHICH WAS MOST MONTHS

THE FAMILY HAD NO FOOD TO EAT

AND WENT TO BED.

MAGDALENA LIVES WITH HER

HUSBAND AND TWO CHILDREN IN A

RURAL COMMUNITY MEXICO.

STEADY WORK IS HARD TO FIND

THERE.

AS A RESULT, MAGDALENA HAS

NOT BEEN ABLE TO BUY NUTRITIOUS

TO FEED HER FAMILY IN A REALLY

GOOD MONTH.

MY MAKES ABOUT $150 AS A

CARPENTER THAT'S BARELY ENOUGH

FOR A FAMILY OF FOUR.

MOST MONTHS HE DOESN'T EARN

THAT.

SOME DAYS FOOD IS SCARCE.

EIGHT YEAR OLD JAMILA SAID

THEY GO TO BED HUNGRY.

MY BELLY HURT.

WE ATE WITH A LITTLE SALT.

MY MOM DIDN'T HAVE TO EAT AND I

FEEL SAD AND WENT TO MY BED

WITH A FEW DOLLARS.

SHE SAVED MAGDALENA BOUGHT SOME

CHICKENS TO RAISE AND SELL BUT

IT WAS HARD FOR HER TO KEEP

THINGS GOING.

IT WAS A FAILURE ALTHOUGH I

PUT IN A LOT OF EFFORT INTO

RAISING THEM.

THE HENS GOT ILL AND SOME OF

THEM DIED.

I TRIED THIS A FEW DIFFERENT

TIMES BUT ALWAYS FAILED.

THINGS GOT SO TIGHT

FINANCIALLY.

MAGDALENA HIS HUSBAND MOVED

TO ANOTHER MEXICAN STATE TO

FIND WORK.

IT WAS HARD FOR ALL OF US

WHEN HE WENT AWAY.

THEN HE GOT SICK AND HE HAD TO

COME HOME.

I DIDN'T KNOW HOW WE WOULD FIND

THE MONEY TO PAY FOR FOOD AND

OTHER EXPENSES.

THEN OPERATION BLESSING

INVITED MAGDALENA TO TAKE PART

IN A CHICKEN PROJECT.

FIRST WE PROVIDED TRAINING ON

HOW TO RAISE AND SELL CHICKENS

AND EGGS.

THEN WE GAVE HER EVERYTHING SHE

NEEDED INCLUDING 65 HENS TO

START A BUSINESS.

I CAREFULLY FOLLOWED WHAT I

LEARNED AND MY HANDS HEALTHY

AND PRODUCTIVE.

EVEN MY NEIGHBORS COULD SEE

THAT MY CHICKENS ARE DOING

GREAT.

EVERY DAY MAGDALENA AND HER

CHILDREN COLLECTED LOTS OF

EGGS.

HER FAMILY ATE SOME AND SHE

SOLD THE EXTRAS TO NEIGHBORS OR

AT A NEARBY MARKET.

EVERY TIME I AM MORE SURPRISED

BECAUSE WE COLLECT MORE EGGS

AND IT BRINGS ME A LOT OF JOY.

I USED TO WAKE UP STRESS TRYING

TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WE WOULD EAT

THAT OR HOW TO MAKE ENDS MEET.

NOW I GET UP HAPPY.

I MAKE BREAKFAST FOR MY

CHILDREN AND I FEED THE HENS.

THANK YOU.

OPERATION BLESSING.

MAGDALENA HAD THE DESIRE TO

RUN HER OWN BUSINESS.

REALLY?

SHE HAD A REAL ENTREPRENEURIAL

SPIRIT.

SHE JUST DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO DO

IT.

THIS IS GARY GORDON WHO WRITES

AND SAYS HOW CAN GET SOMEONE TO

FORGIVE YOU FOR A WRONG YOU

OFFER FORGIVENESS?

WELL, GARY, YOU DON'T

CONTROL THEM AND THEY HAVE FREE

WILL AND SO WITHIN THE EXERCISE

TO HOLD ON TO A GRUDGE OR THAT

THAT'S UP TO THEM.

I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO SAY

WELL, I FORGIVE YOU FOR NOT

FORGIVING ME SO THAT YOU CAN

MOVE ON WITH YOUR LIFE.

ONE OF THE GREAT EXERCISES THAT

I TRY TO DO FAIRLY REGULARLY

UNFORTUNATELY I DON'T DO IT AS

OFTEN AS I NEED BECAUSE IT JUST

MAKES ME FEEL GUILTY THAT LORD

AM I HARBORING UNFORGIVENESS

THERE SOMETHING I'M HOLDING ON

TO AND WHENEVER I PRAY THAT BOY

THE HOLY SPIRIT JUST BRINGS.

OKAY.

GLAD YOU ASKED.

YOU KNOW HERE HERE'S A BUNCH OF

THINGS.

I WAS ON A PHONE CALL LAST

NIGHT WITH AN OLD FRIEND AND WE

WERE TALKING ABOUT MEMORIES.

THERE WAS A MEMORY THAT CAME UP

AND I WAS HAD TO CHECK MYSELF.

SO TERRY, HOW DO YOU WALK IN

FORGIVENESS BECAUSE I KNOW I'M

VERY EVENTS AND YOU KNOW WHAT

YOU'RE SAYING.

YOU KNOW, I THINK TWO

THINGS.

NUMBER ONE, FORGIVENESS US FREE

AND THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS

GOD CALLS US TO DO IT.

AND NUMBER TWO, YOU KNOW, I

THINK FORGIVING AND FORGETTING

TWO DIFFERENT THINGS LIKE I CAN

CHOOSE TO FORGIVE OUT OF

OBEDIENCE SOMETIMES IS A

PROCESS, YOU KNOW, WHERE YOU

HAVE TO GO TO THE LORD AND SAY

HELP ME TO FORGIVE THIS

OFFENSE, TO LOOK BEYOND IT AND

LOTS OF TIMES I THINK IT'S

LOOKING AT HOW WE'VE OFFENDED

OTHER PEOPLE AND HAVING GRACE

FOR THOSE WHO'VE OFFENDED US.

YEAH, IF I IF I WANT

FORGIVENESS I HAVE TO FORGIVE

AND I CAN'T HOLD THESE

IN MY HEART.

THERE'S A FAIR NUMBER OF

MEMORIES I WISH I COULD GET RID

OF.

GOD FOR WHATEVER REASON WANTS

TO KEEP THEM THERE.

BUT IT'S WONDERFUL BECAUSE IT

HUMBLES YOU AND YOU SAY LORD,

HOW DID YOU DO THAT?

THEY WERE BEATING YOU.

THEY PUT A CROWN OF THORNS.

THEY MOCKED YOU.

THEY DESERTED YOU AND YOU STILL

SAID FATHER, FORGIVE THEM FOR

KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO.

LET US HAVE THAT SAME MIND.

A WORD FROM MATTHEW.
