WHERE HE CAME FROM.
A NIGHT LEANING HEAVY ON
MILITARY SERVICE SACRIFICE,
VANCE ACKNOWLEDGED HIS TOURS IN
IRAQ AS A MARINE COMBAT
JOURNALIST.
SEMPER FI TO MY FELLOW
MARINES.
THROUGHOUT THE SPEECH HE
DRILLED DOWN ON THE NIGHT'S
THEME OF AMERICAN STRENGTH AT
HOME AND ABROAD TARGETING TRADE
DEALS BENEFITING LIKE CHINA AND
MEXICO WHILE ALSO PUTTING
AMERICA'S MILITARY ALLIES ON
NOTICE.
WE WILL MAKE SURE OUR ALLIES

IN HIM AND IN OUR FAMILY.
BRIEFLY SHARING THE STAGE
WITH HIS WIFE, A FELLOW YALE
LAW SCHOOL GRAD SHE HELPED TO
PORTRAY HIS SIDE AS A HUSBAND
AND A FATHER OF THREE AND HE
ALSO RECEIVED A RESOUNDING
ENDORSEMENT FROM TRUMP FAMILY.
A KID FROM APPALACHIA AND A
KID FROM TRUMP TOWER MANHATTAN
.
WE GREW UP WORLDS APART YET
WE'RE BOTH FIGHTING SIDE BY
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
COMPANIES TO TEXAS BECAUSE
CALIFORNIA LAWS ARE ATTACKING
FAMILIES AND COMPANIES.
WHILE A DECADES LONG COMMITMENT
TO DRIVING SCHOOL BUSSES EARNED
ONE MINNESOTA MAN AN IMPRESSIVE
NEW TITLE JIM OPPEGARD NOW
HOLDS THE GUINNESS WORLD RECORD
FOR OLDEST BUS DRIVER.
AT 94 YEARS OLD.
AFTER NEARLY 50 YEARS OF
DRIVING FOR CHILDREN WITH
SPECIAL EDUCATION NEEDS,
OPPEGARD BOSS SAYS HE'S NEVER
MISSED A DAY OF WORK AND STILL
PASSES HIS PHYSICAL AND DRIVING
TESTS WITH FLYING COLORS.
RECORD HOLDER SAYS THE SECRET
TO LONG LIFE IS GOD'S BLESSINGS
.
WELL YOU CAN ALWAYS GET THE
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.

SOME OF YOUR EMAIL.
THIS IS GARY GORDON WHO WRITES
AND SAYS HOW CAN GET SOMEONE TO
FORGIVE YOU FOR A WRONG YOU
HAVE DONE TO THEM WHEN THEY
OFFER FORGIVENESS?
WELL, GARY, YOU DON'T
CONTROL THEM AND THEY HAVE FREE
WILL AND SO WITHIN THE EXERCISE
OF THEIR FREE WILL IF THEY WANT
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.
SEEK THE KINGDOM OF GOD
