SHE'S THE STAR OF
"BYE-BYE BIRDIE," AND "THE
CINCINNATI KID."
WE TALK TO ANN-MARGRET ABOUT
HER EPIC CAREER.
LUCILLE BALL, GENE
HACKMAN -- AND YOU WERE THE
FIRST PERSON TO KISS HIM ON
THE SCREEN.
I SORT OF NIBBLED ON HIS
SHOULDER.
Reporter: AND HER
SECRET LIFE?
I LOVE MY PRIVACY.
Pat: WELCOME TO "THE
700 CLUB."
TERRIBLE DROUGHT IN THE
MIDWEST.
A REFINERY FIRE IN
CALIFORNIA, SHORTAGES IN THE
HEARTLAND OF ILLINOIS, GAS
PRICES ARE NOW, IN SOME
STATES, OVER $4 A GALLON,
AND IT LOOKS AS IF -- IT
LOOKS AS IF FOOD PRICES ARE
GOING THROUGH THE ROOF.
MY WIFE WENT TO THE GROCERY
STORE YESTERDAY, AND SHE
CAME BACK AND SHE SAID SHE
DIDN'T BUY VERY MUCH, AND
SHE SPENT $130.
Kristi: THAT'S VERY
EASY TO DO.
Pat: EASY TO DO?
WELL, THAT'S HEARTBREAKING
TO THE AVERAGE BUDGET.
Kristi: ABSOLUTELY.
Pat: IF YOU THINK
THAT'S NOT GOING TO IMPACT
THE ELECTION, IT'S GOING TO,
AND PEOPLE WILL SAY I CAN'T
STAND THIS.
LET'S MAKE A CHANGE.
AMERICANS ARE FEELING THE
PAIN AT THE PUMP WITH GAS
PRICES SHOOTING UP AGAIN.
> BUT WHAT IF WE DIDN'T
DEPEND ON FOREIGN COUNTRIES
FOR OUR OIL?
COULD AMERICA PRODUCE OUR
OWN ENERGY RIGHT HERE AT
HOME?
WELL, THE ANSWER IS
ABSOLUTELY YES.
Kristi: ENERGY IS A
PREMIUM IN THE U.S. TODAY.
CALIFORNIA IS EVEN OFFERING
A REWARD FOR COSTUMERS WHO
CUT BACK ON AIR CONDITIONING
TO SAVE ELECTRICITY.
HERE IS REPORTER MARK MARTIN
WITH THE STORY.
Reporter: THE HEATWAVE
IN CALIFORNIA TRIGGERED WHAT
IS CALLED A STATE-WIDE FLEX
ALERT.
ASKING CALIFORNIANS TO CUT
BACK ON ELECTRICITY ON
CERTAIN HOT DAYS.
IT IS GOOD FOR THE POWER
GRID, AND HELPS US BUILD UP
THAT TRANSMISSION AND
RESERVES.
IT IS REALLY GOOD FOR THE
CONSUMER BECAUSE THEY'RE
GOING TO COME OUT AHEAD.
Reporter: BUT MANY
EXPERTS SAY WE NEED TO
PRODUCE MORE.
COAL IS THE LARGEST SOURCE
OF ENERGY PRODUCED IN THE
U.S., AND IS USED TO
GENERATE ABOUT HALF THE
ELECTRICITY HERE.
HOWEVER, MANY IN THE COAL
INDUSTRY IN WEST VIRGINIA
FEEL THEY'RE BEING TARGETED
BY THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION
AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION AGENT SEE.
WHEN PEOPLE OPPOSE THE
COAL INDUSTRY, THEY SHOULD
THINK LONG AND HARD AND TAKE
A HISTORY LESSON ON HOW
IMPORTANT THAT COAL HAS BEEN
TO AMERICAN CIVILIZATION AND
THE FREEDOM OF ALL WESTERN
DEMOCRACY.
Reporter: AND OTHERS
POINT TO THE NATURAL GAS
BOOM IN PLACES LIKE
PENNSYLVANIA.
RECENT ADVANCES ALONG WITH
HYDRAULIC FRACTURING ARE
FREEING THE GAS FROM ITS
ROCK PRISON DEEP BELOW THE
GROUND.
THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE
BLESSING, THAT WE HAVE BEEN
ABLE TO UNLOCK THIS
RESOURCE.
WHAT IT CAN DO IS, FOR THE
FIRST TIME, WE HAVE A REAL
ABILITY TO TAKE CONTROL OF
OUR ENERGY FUTURE.
Reporter: SIMILAR
TECHNOLOGY IS BEING USED TO
DRILL FOR OIL AND SHALE ROCK
IN STATES LIKE NORTH DAKOTA
AND MONTANA.
WITH AMERICAN ENERGY
RESERVES, THE HEAD OF SHELL
OIL SAID THE U.S. COULD AIM
FOR NEAR ENERGY INDEPENDENCE
IN THE NEXT 20 YEARS.
ANALYSTS SAY THE BENEFITS OF
DEVELOPING OIL, NATURAL GAS,
AND COAL RESOURCES, WOULD
AMOUNT TO FINANCIAL WIND
FALLS OF AROUND $5 TRILLION
FOR THE U.S.
MARK MARTIN, CBN NEWS.
Pat: THAT IS A HAPPY
SCENARIO.
THE UNHAPPY SCENARIO IS THAT
THE ENVIRONMENTALISTS WANT
TO BLOCK IT, AND PEOPLE IN
THE ADMINISTRATION WANT TO
CRIPPLE THE COAL COMPANIES.
AND THEY WANT TO LIMIT THE
FRACKING AND THESE NATURAL
SHAILS.
SHALES.
THE SHALE IS THE SOURCE BED
OF A GREAT DEAL OF OUR OIL.
AND IT HAS BEEN LOCKED UP
FOR MILLENNIUM, ACTUALLY,
FOR MILLIONS OF YEARS.
AND NOW, BY DRILLING A HOLE
DOWN MAYBE 5,000 FEET, AND
GOING OUT HORIZONTALLY,
MAYBE ANOTHER 2,000 FEET OR
SO, AND THEN SHOOTING HOLES
IN THAT PARTICULAR
FORMATION, THE AMOUNT OF OIL
AND GAS COMING OUT IS SIMPLY
STAGGERING.
AND NOBODY DREAMED IT COULD
HAPPEN, BUT IT IS HAPPENING
NOW.
AND UP IN NORTH DAKOTA,
THEY'RE HAVING A BOOM, AND
THE BUCK, WHICH IS ONE OF
THE FORMATIONS, AND THE
EAGLE FOR SHALE DOWN IN
TEXAS, AND OTHER FORMATIONS
UP IN PENNSYLVANIA -- IT IS
ENORMOUS.
WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS FIGURE
OUT A WAY OF USING NATURAL
GAS TO MOTIVATE CARS.
WE CAN USE IT RIGHT NOW FOR
ELECTRICITY.
MANY, MANY UTILITIES ARE
SHIFTING TO GAS INSTEAD OF
COAL.
AND THAT, WITH CLEAN COAL --
THE SOUTH AFRICANS HAVE
FIGURED OUT WAYS OF BURNING
COAL CHEAPLY AND WITHOUT
ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE.
BUT WE'RE NOT DOING IT.
AS A NATION, WE AREN'T
FOCUSING ON THE RICHES AT
OUR HAND.
INSTEAD OF THAT, WE
FORBIDDEN DRILLING ON THE
COAST.
WE FORBID DRILLING IN
ANWAR.
WE WILL NOT LET OIL
COMPANIES LOOK FOR THE OIL
THAT IS THERE.
AND STAILT STATES ARE VERY
CONCERNED ABOUT LIMITING THE
AMOUNT OF HYDRAULIC FRACKING
GOING ON.
FOLKS, GOD HAS RICHLY
BLESSED THIS NATION.
LET'S GET PEOPLE IN OFFICE
WHO WILL UNDERSTAND IT AND
THANK HIM FOR THE BLESSING,
AND THEN USE IT FOR THE GOOD
OF ALL OFHINK IT IS TIME TO
THROW OUT THE BUMS THAT ARE
STOPPING THIS PROGRESS.
LEE WEBB HAS THE REST OF OUR
TOP STORIES FROM THE CBN
NEWS ROOM.
LEE?
Lee: PAT, FRANCE IS
HOVERING ON THE EDGE OF
RECESSION, AND THAT WOULD BE
BAD NEWS FOR THE REST OF
EUROPE.
FRANCE IS THE EUROPEAN
UNION'S SECOND LARGEST
ECONOMY.
IT'S ECONOMY SHOWED NO
GROWTH FOR THE THIRD
STRAIGHT QUARTER.
MANY OF THE OTHER ECONOMIC
POWERS IN EUROPE ARE IN
RECESSION ALREADY, INCLUDING
BRITAIN, ITALY, AND SPAIN.
PAT, BACK TO YOU.
Pat: I TELL YOU, THIS
IS GOING TO PUT THE BRAKES
ON PRESIDENT HOLLANDE'S
SOCIALIST PLANS.
YOU CANNOT GET BLOOD FROM A
TURNIP, AND HE IS TRYING TO
SQUEEZE THE RICH.
THE RICH ARE GOING TO BE
FLEEING FRANCE LIKE RATS ON
A SINKING SHIP.
IN A DEPRESSION, YOU CAN'T
GEM UP GOVERNMENT SPENDING.
THE FRENCH ARE IN TROUBLE,
BUT NOT NEAR AS MUCH AS THE
SPANISH.
UNEMPLOYMENT IN SPAIN IS
JUST SHORT OF 25%.
BUT AMONG THE YOUNG PEOPLE,
IT IS CLOSE TO 50%.
THINK OF THE HOPELESSNESS
WITH YOUNG PEOPLE COMING
INTO THE JOB MARKET AND NO
PLACE FOR THEM TO WORK.
AND THAT'S THE SITUATION IN
SPAIN.
IT IS A MESS.
LET'S NOT GO THERE IN THIS
COUNTRY.
LEE?
Lee: A COUNTY JUDGE IN
ARIZONA HAS DISMISSED A
LAWSUIT CHALLENGING THE
GOVERNOR'S DAY OF PRAYER
PROCLAMATION.
THE WISCONSIN-BASED "FREEDOM
FROM RELIGION" FOUNDATION
FILED SUIT.
THEY SAY THE DAY OF PRAYER
VIOLATES A CONSTITUTIONAL
LAW AGAINST STATE AND
RELIGION.
GOVERNORS IN ALL 50 STATES
ISSUED SIMILAR PROCLAMATIONS
LAST YEAR.
THE NEW PRESIDENT OF EGYPT
APPEARS TO BE MAKING A PLAY
FOR MORE POWER.
MOHAMMED MORSI IS A MEMBER
OF THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD,
AND HE OUSTED SOME OF THE
COUNTRY'S MOST POWERFUL
MILITARY LEADERS.
THE MOVE COULD, AND I
EMPHASIZE COULD, LEAD TO A
REMOVAL OF THE TOP PEOPLE.
OTHERS SAY MORSI MUST HAVE
WORKED CLOSELY WITH OTHER
MILITARY LEADERS BEFORE
MAKING THE MOVE.
THE GOAL IS TO MAKE EGYPT A
MUSLIM COUNTRY.
NBC EARNED GOLD MEDAL
RATINGS FOR THE LONDON
OLYMPICS.
THE GAMES HAD THE HIGHEST
AUDIENCE IN U.S. TELEVISION
HISTORY.
MORE THAN 219 MILLION
AMERICANS TUNED IN.
NBC HAD THE PREVIOUS RECORD
DURING THE BEIJING
OLYMPICS.
THOSE GAMES HAD 215 MILLION

31MILLION WATCHED THE
CLOSING CEREMONIES IN LONDON
LAST SUNDAY.
THAT'S THE MOST OF ANY

U.S. IN 36 YEARS.
IF YOU'RE AN "AMERICAN IDOL"
FAN AND DIDN'T GET ENOUGH OF
IT ON TELEVISION, THE TOP 10

I'M SO READY TO BE BACK IN

SWEET TEA AND GOOD SOUTHERN
HOME COOKING.
Reporter: HE'LL GET IT
WHEN HIS TOUR HITS HIS HOME
STATE OF TENNESSEE.
THEY'RE NOT AFRAID TO SHARE
THEIR FAITH IN JESUS
CHRIST.
GETTING TIME TO GET IN
THE WORD IS HONESTLY LIKE
PULLING TEETH.
I NEVER THOUGHT IT WOULD BE
LIKE THAT, BUT IT IS HARD
WHEN YOU'RE OUT ON THE
ROAD.
Reporter: THE MUSIC
BUSINESS IS GLAMOROUS, BUT
HAHN SAYS IT IS ALL LONELY.
IT ATTACKS YOU SO
QUICKLY, YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW
YOU'VE BEEN ATTACKED.
YOU LOOK BACK AND YOU THINK,
WOW, I WENT TOO FAR AND I
BECAME SUCH A DIFFERENT

AND THAT'S WHEN YOU REALIZE
YOU HAVE TO GO TO BACK TO

Reporter: JENNIFER
WISHON, CBN NEWS,
WASHINGTON.
Lee: STRESS AND
DEPRESSION COULD BE HURTING
YOUR BRAIN, LITERALLY.
YALE RESEARCHERS ANY CHRONIC
STRESS AND MAJOR DEPRESSION
COULD CAUSE THE BRAIN TO
SHRINK.
AND THAT CAN LEAD TO THE
BRAIN GETTING SMALLER.
IT IS AMAZING STATISTICS
THERE, PAT.
Pat: WE WANT BIG
BRAINS.
HAVE YOU GOT A BIG BRAIN?
Kristi: HUGE.
Pat: THAT'S BECAUSE YOU
DON'T HAVE ANY STRESS.
YOU'RE WORKING WITH ME AND
THERE IS NO STRESS.
Kristi: YOU KEEP
BELIEVING THAT, PAT.
Pat: I DO.
Kristi: I'M NOT GOING
TO SAY I HAVE A SMALL
BRAIN.
Pat: A BIG BRAIN.
BECAUSE YOU'RE SO RELAXED.
Kristi: SO TRUE.
Pat: STAY LOOSE.
GO WITH THE FLOW.
I TOLD MY SECRETARY, THERE
IS A FRENCH STATEMENT, TRIE
TRONKIL.
Kristi: AND WHAT DOES
IT MEAN?
Pat: STAY LOOSE.
TRANQUILITY WILL MAKE YOUR
BRAIN CELLS GET MORE
ACTIVE.
STRESS THERE TAKE THEM DOWN
AND DESTROY YOU.
DON'T STRESS OUT.
NOTHING IS THAT IMPORTANT.
Kristi: THAT'S SO
TRUE.
Pat: OUR DEAR FRIEND,
BILLY GRAHAM.
WE WANT TO SALUTE HIM AND
SHOW OUR APPRECIATION OF A
GREAT MAN.
Lee: THAT'S RIGHT,
PAT.
REVEREND BILLY GRAHAM IS
EXPECTED TO RETURN HOME IN
THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.
HE IS BEING TREATED FOR
BRONCHITIS AT A NORTH
CAROLINA HOSPITAL.
DOCTORS SAY HIS CONDITION IS
STEADILY IMPROVING.
THIS LATEST SCARE HAS PEOPLE
IN HIS HOME TOWN REFLECTING
ON REVEREND GRAHAM'S SEVEN
DECADES OF MINISTRY.
Reporter: REVEREND
BILLY GRAHAM'S INFLUENCE
SPREADS WORLDWIDE, BUT
RESIDENTS IN HIS HOME TOWN
OF ASHVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA,
SAY THEY FEEL A SPECIAL
CONNECTION TO THE
93-YEAR-OLD EVANGELIST.
HE IS SOMEONE I LOOK UP
TO GREATLY.
HE HAS BEEN A GREAT
INFLUENCE ON MY LIFE AND MY
MINISTRY.
I PRAY FOR HIM.
Reporter: DANNY SAYS HE
IS A PREACHER BECAUSE OF
GRAHAM'S INFLUENCE.
HIS MINISTRY HAS BEEN
IMPECCABLE.
HE HAS GIVEN OF HIMSELF, AND
HE HAS DONE SO MUCH FOR NOT
JUST OUR AREA, BUT FOR THE
ENTIRE WORLD AND THE KINGDOM
OF GOD.
Reporter: VISITORS IN
NORTH CAROLINA WERE SHOCKED
TO HEAR GRAHAM WAS IN THE
HOSPITAL.
MANY DRIVE FROM ALL OVER THE
COUNTRY TO RETRACE THE
REVEREND'S FAITH JOURNEY.
WE PRAY FOR THE BEST FOR
HIM AND HIS FAMILY.
Reporter: HIS
GRANDDAUGHTER SAYS THAT THE
FEVER IS GONE AND THE
ANTIBIOTICS SEEM TO BE
WORKING AGAINST THE
INFECTION.
WE FEEL GOOD ABOUT IT.
HE HAS THE SWEETEST, MOST
WONDERFUL CARE.
Reporter: GRAHAM'S

HIS LATEST BOOK, DUE OUT
NEXT YEAR.
EPHRAIM GRAHAM, CBN NEWS.
Lee: THIS IS GRAHAM'S
THIRD HOSPITAL STAY IN
LITTLE MORE THAN A YEAR FROM
RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS, AND HE
SUFFERS FROM PARKINSON'S AND
SOME HEARING AND VISION
LOSS, BUT WE'RE TELL SUNDAY
HE FELT GOOD ENOUGH TO GET
UP AND WATCH HIS SON PREACH
ON TELEVISION.
Pat: WELL, HE IS A DEAR
FRIEND FOR MANY YEARS.
I WORKED IN THE BILLY GRAHAM
CRUSADE IN NEW YORK.
AND THAT WAS IN 1957, AND IN
THOSE DAYS, BILLY WAS SAYING
THIS IS MY LAST ONE.
REALLY?
THIS IS THE BIG CULMINATION,
AND YOU EXPECT HE IS GOING
TO DIE ANY MINUTE.
AND '67, '77, '87, '97,
2007, AND HE IS STILL GOING
STRONG.
BUT HE DOES HAVE A SHUNT IN
HIS HEAD.
HE HAS SERIOUS IMPAIRED
HEARING.
HE CAN'T HEAR MUCH OF
ANYTHING.
I THINK HE HAS PROSTATE
CANCER, AND I DON'T KNOW
ABOUT PARKINSON'S.
THEY SAID HE HAS
PARKINSON'S, BUT I'M NOT
SURE THAT IS THE CORRECT
DIAGNOSIS.
GOD BLESS HIM.
HE WAS WITH US AT THE BERLIN
WALL, WHEN THE WALL FELL
OVER IN EUROPE, AND HE
GRACIOUSLY CONSENTED TO BE
THERE AT THAT TIME.
I DON'T KNOW WHETHER WE
COORDINATED OUR VISITS.
WHAT A GREAT MAN.
WE LOVE HIM AND WE PRAY FOR
HIM.
PRAY FOR BILLY GRAHAM.
HE HAS BEEN AN INSPIRATION
TO ALL OF US.
Kristi: ABSOLUTELY.
UP NEXT, MORE THAN 50% OF
YOUNG PEOPLE UNDER THE AGE
OF 25 ARE UNEMPLOYED.
FIND OUT WHO THEY ARE, WHERE
THEY LIVE, AND WHY THEY'RE
SO ANGRY, AFTER THIS.
STILL AHEAD, ANN-MARGRET
RARELY GIVES INTERVIEWS.
I LOVE MY PRIVACY.
WELL, WE'LL LEAVE NOW.
Reporter: SO WHAT IS
SCOTT ROSS DOING IN HIS
LIVING ROOM.
I WANT TO SAY SOMETHING
WHICH IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO
ME.
Reporter: OKAY.
FIND OUT WHAT THAT
SOMETHING IS ON TODAY'S "THE
700 CLUB."
I COULDN'T MAKE IT.
I COULD NOT GO A STEP
FURTHER, OKAY?
Pat: JUST IMAGINE,
LIVING IN A COUNTRY WHERE
ONE OUT OF EVERY FOUR PEOPLE
IS OUT OF WORK.
AN UNEMPLOYMENT RATE OF AN
ALARMING 25%.
IN AMERICA, THAT WOULD BE A
DISASTER.
BUT IN SPAIN, THAT DISASTER
IS REALITY.
A WHOPPING 53% OF THE YOUTH
UNDER AGED 25 IN SPAIN ARE
UNEMPLOYED, WITH NO
PROSPECTS IN SIGHT.
AS DALE HERD REPORTS FROM
BARCELONA, IT HAS CREATED A
WHOLE LOST GENERATION OF
SPANISH YOUTH.
Reporter: IN PORTUGAL,
A LOCKSMITH IS CUTTING THE
BOLTS OFF AN APARTMENT THAT
HAS BEEN REPOSSESSED BY THE
COURT.
HE IS PUTTING NEW LOCKS ON
THE DOOR.
THE FAMILY ISN'T HOME, AND
THE PLACE LOOKS LIKE THEY
ABANDONED IT.
IN TORASSA, SPAIN, OUTSIDE
OF BARCELONA, THEY TRIED TO
STOP THE EVICTION OF A
FAMILY WHO HAS FALLEN BACK
ON THEIR MORTGAGE.
THE FATHER SAYS, I WANT TO
WORK AND PAY THE MORTGAGE.
SOME SAY IT IS A DEPRESSION
IN SPAIN, BUT SOME SAY IT IS
A FULL-BLOWN DEPRESSION.
IN SPAIN, THE UNEMPLOYMENT
RATE IS 24.6%, CLOSE TO THE
LEVEL OF THE UNITED STATES
DURING THE GREAT
DEPRESSION.
BUT THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE
FOR SPANIARDS UNDER THE AGE
OF 25 IS AN INCREDIBLE 53%,
THE HIGHEST IN WESTERN
EUROPE.
HIGHER THAN GREECE, AND
STILL RISING.
IT HAS CREATED A LOST
GENERATION OF 20 SOMETHINGS
WITH VERY BLEAK PROSPECTS
AHEAD OF THEM.
SPAIN IS ONE OF THE E.U.
COUNTRIES BEING CRUSHED BY
THE EURO.
THE ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL IS
FIGHTING AGAINST SPAIN'S
EFFORTS TO RECOVER.
Reporter: ON THE
OUTSKIRTS OF BARCELONA, YOU
CAN SEE ONE OF THE
CEMETERIES.
BUILDINGS UNDER CONSTRUCTION
NOW ABANDONED.
GRAVE STONES WERE A BOOM
TIME THAT VANISHED.
NOW A BARCELONA BLOGGER,
SANTIAGO, RUNS A NEW
WEBSITE, "THE LOST POOR."
HIS FRIEND HAS ALREADY
DECIDED TO LEAVE SPAIN FOR
ICELAND.
WE HAVE NO PROSPECTS.
IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO PLAN
YOUR LIFE HERE.
SO WE ARE NOW THINKING OF
MOVING AW ABROAD.
Reporter: JUDITH SANZ
IS AN OUT OF WORK
AGRICULTURAL ENGINEER.
I'VE BEEN UNEMPLOYED FOR
13 MONTHS NOW.
NOWADAYS THINGS LOOK SO BAD
THAT I AM CONTEMPLATING THE
POSSIBILITY OF MOVING
ABROAD.
THE WAY THINGS LOOK TODAY,
I'M SERIOUSLY THINKING ABOUT
IT.
Reporter: ALBERTO
RODRIGUEZ SAYS WHEN HE
FINISHES HIS M.B.A., HE
WANTS TO MOVE TO LONDON.
A HISTORIC DEBT CRISIS,
BUSINESS FAILURES, AND HIGH
UNEMPLOYMENT LEVELS HAVE
CREATED SOCIETIES IN WHICH
YOUNG PEOPLE JUST STARTING
OUT SEE NO FUTURE, NO WAY TO
START THEIR CAREERS.
MANY WESTERN NATIONS HAVE
MADE IT HARD, IF NOT
IMPOSSIBLE, TO AND AN
ENTREPRENEUR.
IN PARIS, CLEMENT FOUND IT
SO HARD TO START A BUSINESS
AS A YOUNG ENTREPRENEUR,
INSTEAD, HE STARTED A
"GILBERT-STYLE" COMIC
STRIP.
ALL OF THE SHIPS LOOK THE
SAME, SO IT REPRESENTS THE
PATH EVERYBODY WILL TEND TO
FOLLOW IF THEY ARE FOLLOWING
WHERE SOCIETY WANTED THEM TO
GO.
Reporter: WHILE STILL
WORKING ON HIS M.B.A., HE
WAS TRYING TO SET UP A
COMPANY TO SEND FRENCH
PRODUCTS TO JAPAN, AND THEN
THE GOVERNMENT STARTED
DEMANDING MONEY.
I RECEIVED THE TAXES I
HAD TO PAY AS IF I DIDN'T
MAKE ANY PROFIT.
SO WE WORKED REALLY HARD,
AND GOVERNMENT WERE ASKING
US, LIKE, $2,000 EACH FOR
JUST HAVING CREATED THE
BUSINESS, EVEN IF WE EARNED
ZERO DOLLARS.
SO WE DECIDED TO STOP THE
BUSINESS BEFORE IT BECAME
TOO EXPENSIVE.
Reporter: GRAN JOHN
CONSIDERED LEAVING FRANCE,
BUT DECIDED TO STAY AND
NAVIGATE THE BUSINESS
CULTURE.
BUT POLLS HAVE SHOWN MOST
YOUNG PEOPLE WOULDN'T EVEN
THINK OF STARTING A
BUSINESS.
THEY WANT LIFETIME
GOVERNMENT JOBS.
ACROSS EUROPE, THE LOST
GENERATION IS ANGRY.
IT BELIEVES IT WAS HANDED A
MESS THEY DIDN'T CREATE.
TOO MANY OFTEN LIVE WITH
THEIR PARENTS, SOMETIMES
INTO THEIR 40s.
LIKE NUNO PINTO IN PORTUGAL
WHO HAS ALREADY THROWN IN
THE TOWEL AND FILED FOR
BANKRUPTCY.
I AM 40 YEARS OLD, AND
I'M LIVING WITH MY PARENTS.
THAT'S MY PAINFUL REALITY.
FOR THAT REASON I'M HERE, TO
SEE IF I CAN GET WHAT IS MY
LAST CHANCE AT PERSONAL
BANKRUPTCY.
Reporter: WHEN THESE
ARE THE PROSPECTS THAT YOUNG
PEOPLE HAVE TO LOOK FORWARD
TO, IT SHOWS JUST HOW BAD IT
HAS BECOME FOR EUROPE'S LOST
GENERATION.
DALE HERD, CBN NEWS IN
BARCELONA.
Pat: DALE GIVES SOME
TREMENDOUS INSIGHT.
IT IS FRIGHTENING WHAT HE
SHOWS, BUT IT IS TRUE.
I WAS THINKING ABOUT SPAIN.
SPAIN AT ONE TIME WAS THE
GREATEST EMPIRE IN THE
WORLD.
IT HAD AN ARMATTA OF SHIPS.
IT HAD OVERSEAS COLONIES.
IT'S SHIPS BROUGHT IN TONS
AND TONS OF GOLD AND SILVER
FROM THE NEW WORLD.
IT HAD LAVISH PALACES.
IT HAD A FABULOUS ARMY.
EVERYTHING ABOUT SPAIN WAS
REALLY SOMETHING.
AND THEY HAD BEAUTIFUL ART.
THE PAINTERS WERE JUST
FABULOUS.
IF YOU'VE BEEN TO THE PRADO
IN MADRID, YOU WOULD
UNDERSTAND SOME OF THE
GRACIOUSNESS.
DELICIOUS FOOD,
ENTERTAINMENT.
THEY HAD THE BULL FIGHTING,
AND THEY HAD TIENTAS, WHICH
IS THE TRYOUTS FOR HEIFERS
TO SEE IF THEY'RE MEAN
ENOUGH TO BREED BULLS.
THEY HAD DANCES AND
PARTIES.
THEY HAD EVERYTHING.
NOW LOOK AT THEM.
53% UNEMPLOYMENT.
WHY?
WELL, IT DOESN'T TAKE LONG
FOR BAD GOVERNMENT TO
DESTROY A THRIVING
ENTERPRISE AND A THRIVING
NATION.
IF YOU CUT OFF THE
ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT, YOU
WILL KILL THE FREEDOM OF THE
PEOPLE.
AND THAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENED.
WHEN SOCIALISM COMES IN, IT
KILLS THE SPIRIT OF
ENTREPRENEURSHIP, WHICH IN
TURN WILL EAT AWAY THE
FABRIC OF A NATION.
IT HAPPENED TO SPAIN.
IT IS HAPPENING IN FRANCE.
IT IS HAPPENING IN OTHER
COUNTRIES IN EUROPE.
AND THEY DON'T SEEM TO WAKE
UP.
AND I'D LIKE TO SOUND AN
ALARM BECAUSE MOST OF US
AMERICANS, WE COME FROM SOME
PLACE IN EUROPE.
MOST OF US.
A FEW COME FROM AFRICA AND
SOUTH AMERICA AND SO FORTH,
BUT MOST OF US COME FROM
ENGLAND, IRELAND, OR
SCOTLAND OR SPAIN OR
PORTUGAL OR GERMANY -- ONE
OF THOSE COUNTRIES.
AND WE WISH THE MOTHER
COUNTRIES WELL, BUT THEY HAD
BETTER WAKE UP.
IF THEY JUST WENT OUT AND
JUST ABOLISHED ABOUT 80% OF
THEIR REGULATIONS, JUST
ABOLISHED THEM AND TURN LOSE
THE ANIMAL PASSIONS OF THEIR
PEOPLE.
IN A MATTER OF 10 OR 15
YEARS, THE WHOLE SITUATION
WOULD BE REVERSED.
BUT THEY'RE NOT GOING TO DO
IT, ARE THEY, KRISTI?
Kristi: YES, THEY ARE.
I BELIEVE, PAT, THEY CAN
TURN THAT SITUATION AROUND.
Pat: HOPE IS GOOD.
GOD BLESS YOU.
WE HAVE HOPE.
Kristi: WE HAVE HOPE.

ANN-MARGRET BECAME A STAR

ANY INKLING AT THAT TIME,

EVERYTHING CAME FROM THAT
PERFORMANCE.
THOSE 10 DAYS, 10 NIGHTS IN
LAS VEGAS.
JACK BENNY, BOBBY DARRIN,
WHO I LOVE, PAT BOONE, AND
YOU WERE THE FIRST PERSON TO
KISS HIM ON SCREEN -- IS
THAT TRUE?
I WAS THE FIRST PERSON.
I KISSED HIM ON HIS
SHOULDER.
OH, AT THAT TIME, I SORT OF
NIBBLED ON HIS SHOULDER.
Reporter: NIBBLED?
MAKE A NOTE.
AND, OF COURSE, ELVIS, STEVE
McQUEEN, LUCILLE BALL,
JACK NICHOLSON, THE DUKE,
JOHN WAYNE.
BETTE DAVIS, DEAN MARTIN,
GENE HACKMAN, AND WE DON'T
HAVE TIME FOR THE REST.
THAT'S UNBELIEVABLE.
I AM SO BLESSED.
I HAVE BEEN SO VERY BLESSED
IN MY LIFE.
Reporter: FOR A LITTLE
GIRL FROM SWEDEN, FIVE YEARS
OF AGE, TO MOVE INTO THIS,
WHAT, PANTHEON OF ARTISTS
AND STARS --
EVER SINCE I WAS FOUR
YEARS OLD, I LOVED MAKING
PEOPLE SMILE, MAKING THEM
THINK.
MAKING THEM FEEL GOOD.
FEELING SOME KIND OF
EMOTION.
Reporter: BUT IT WAS
LIKE A ROCKET.
THE THINGS TOOK OFF.
IT WAS ONE THING AFTER
ANOTHER AFTER ANOTHER, AND
YOU WERE OUT THERE.
SO BLESSED.
Reporter: IS THAT HOW
YOU VIEW IT, AS A BLESSING?
SO BLESSED.
OH, MY GOODNESS.
Reporter: HOLLYWOOD
MAGAZINE PREDICTED A WEDDING
BETWEEN A ANN-MARGRET AND
ELVIS.
BUT IT WAS ROGER SMITH WHO
CAPTURED HER HEART.
I KNEW ON THE THIRD DATE
THAT WE WERE GOING TO BE
MARRIED.
Reporter: DID YOU LET
HIM KNOW THAT?
NO.
NO.
IT JUST FELT RIGHT.
Reporter: AND HE,
HIMSELF, QUITE A SUCCESSFUL
ACTOR, "77 SUNSET STRIP."
HE WAS QUITE THE MAN AT THE
TIME.
HE STILL IS.
Reporter: WELL, I DON'T
QUESTION IT.
HE HAD MORE FAITH IN ME
THAN I DID.
Reporter: REALLY?
UH-HUH.
ONE OF THE MAIN THINGS ABOUT
MY VIEW OF HIM WAS THAT HE
WOULD PROTECT ME.
Reporter: HE GAVE YOU A
SAFE PLACE?
YES, HE DID.
Reporter: IN 1980,
ROGER WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A
NEUROMUSCULAR DISEASE THAT
CAUSES EXTREME WEAKNESS.
IT AFFECTS PEOPLE
DIFFERENTLY, BUT HE HAS BEEN
IN REMISSION FOR A LONG
TIME.
Reporter: BUT YOU STUCK
IT OUT, TOO.
THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO LEAVE
MARRIAGES TODAY BECAUSE THEY
DON'T LIKE THE SAME
RESTAURANTS.
YOU KNOW.
BOTH OF YOU HAVE TO WANT
IT TO WORK, AND WE DO.
AND WE STILL LIKE EACH
OTHER.
AND WE STILL LAUGH.
HOW ABOUT THAT?
Reporter: IN 1994, ANN
TALKED CANDIDLY ABOUT HER
LIFE AND CAREER IN HER
AUTOBIOGRAPHY, "ANN-MARGRET,
MY STORY."
IT CAUSED YOU TO HAVE TO
REALLY EXAMINE YOURSELF,
TOO?
YES.
YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH A LOT
OF ANGST.
Reporter: AND YOU DID,
AND, AGAIN, YOU WROTE ABOUT
IT.
THE SIZE OF THAT DROVE YOU
TO DRINKING?
THAT'S SOMETHING I DEALT
WITH.
I DEALT WITH IT.
Reporter: AND YOU
OVERCAME IT?
I DEALT WITH IT.
YOU NEVER REALLY OVERCOME
IT, BUT I DEALT WITH IT.
Reporter: HOW DID YOU
DO IT?
AND I HAVE BEEN
CONSTANTLY DEALING WITH IT.
Reporter: IS IT STILL A
BATTLE TODAY?
YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO BE
AWARE OF IT, BUT I HAVE BEEN
WITHOUT IT NOW FOR 32
YEARS.
ALL MY LIFE I'VE HAD THIS
FEELING DEEP, DEEP, DEEP
INSIDE OF ME.
MY FAITH AND MY FEELINGS.
Reporter: HOW WOULD YOU
IDENTIFY THE SOMETHING THAT
IS INSIDE YOU?
I MEAN, YOU GO OUTSIDE
AND YOU SEE -- YOU SEE THE
FLOWERS, YOU SEE THE TREES,
YOU SEE -- I MEAN, YOU SEE
ALL OF YOUR LOVED ONES.
AND THEN YOU THINK OF WHO
CREATED IT ALL.
Reporter: IN HER FIRST
SIX YEARS IN SWEDEN, AND
LATER IN THE U.S.,
ANN-MARGRET AND HER FAMILY
ATTENDED THE LUT LUTHERAN
CHURCH.
SHE SAYS SHE PRAYS AND LOOKS
FOR THE GOOD IN PEOPLE.
Reporter: YOUR
RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD, WITH
JESUS CHRIST, THAT PART OF
IT, IS THAT A REALITY TO
YOU?
OH, YES.
Reporter: IT IS.
I WANT TO SAY SOMETHING
WHICH IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO
ME.
Reporter: OKAY.
IF I THOUGHT THAT I WOULD
NEVER SEE MY MOTHER AND
FATHER AGAIN, I COULDN'T
MAKE IT.
I COULD NOT GO A STEP
FURTHER, OKAY?
Reporter: OKAY.
AND SO KNOWING THAT YOU KNOW
THE LORD, AND THAT YOUR
PARENTS DID, THAT ASSURES
YOU OF THAT?
YES.
Reporter: SO AFTER ALL
OF THE ACCOLADES AND ALL OF
THE AWARDS AND EVERYTHING
ELSE, YOU SAID NONE OF THAT
REALLY COUNTS?
FRIENDS AND FAMILY.
THAT'S WHAT IT IS.
THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT.
Kristi: PAT?
Pat: WHAT A LOVELY
LADY.
LOVELY.
Kristi: ABSOLUTELY.
ARE YOU --
Pat: AM I WHAT?
Kristi: NO, NO, NO.
YOU KEEP GOING.
I KNOW, I KEEP INTERRUPTING
YOU.
Pat: SHE IS VERY
CHARMING.
I THINK THAT'S BEAUTIFUL,
AND HER STRUGGLE WITH
ALCOHOL, I DIDN'T KNOW
ABOUT.
BUT SHE COULDN'T -- I GUESS
HER MOTHER AND FATHER WERE
DEAD, AND IF SHE COULDN'T
SEE THEM -- THAT'S
INTERESTING, I WANT TO BE
ABLE TO SEE MY MOTHER AND
FATHER.@H
THAT LITTLE BOY WHO DIED,HÑ@Ñ
THAT BURPO KID, HE WENT TO
HEAVEN AND HE SAW ALL OF HIS
ANCESTORS.
HE SAW GREAT GRANDPARENTS
AND EVERYTHING.
BY THE WAY, I'M GOING TO --
I AM A GREAT GRANDFATHER.
I HAVE TWO, AND ONE MORE IS@
COMING.
Kristi:@ A@ TOTAL OF HOW
MANY?
Pat: I HAVE 14
GRANDCHILDREN AND THREE
GREAT-GRANDCHILDREN -- WELL,
TWO AND A HALF.@
I'M THRILLED.úú
I'M A PATRIARCH.
Kristi: DON'T YOU THINK
HOW COOL IT IS THAT GOD
PLACED A VISION IN YOUR
HEART, AND BECAUSE YOU'RE
OBEDIENT, YOU ARE SEEING IT
COME FORTH IN YOUR CHILDREN
AND THEIR CHILDREN, AND
THEIR CHILDREN AFTER THAT.
Pat: THE THOUSANDS OF
GENERATIONS TO THEM THAT
LOVE HIM.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
SERVING GOD IS A GOOD
THING.
IT MAY BE DIFFICULT AT
TIMES, BUT IT IS THE WAY TO
GO.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S GET SOME
QUESTIONS.
Kristi: WE'RE GOING TO
BEGIN WITH CHERYL, AND SHE
SAYS, "WHAT DOES THE BIBLE
TEACH ABOUT DEFENDING ONE'S
FAMILY WITH A WEAPON.
I NEVER FIRED A GUN UNTIL I
WAS 63.
I'VE TAKEN A TRAINING CLASS
AND HAD TRAINING ON MY GUN.
I'M AWAITING MY CONCEALED
CARRY PERMIT, BUT THERE ARE
HOME INVASIONS WEEKLY AROUND
US WITH HOMEOWNERS BEING
HURT OR KILLED.
I STILL FEEL CONFLICTED
ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF
EVER SHOOTING A PERSON, BUT
I FEEL I COULD IF THEY EVER
INVADED MY HOME OR TRIED TO
ATTACK ME IN A PUBLIC
PLACE."
Pat: I THINK THAT
SELF-DEFENSE IS OKAY.
IT IS NOT MURDER.
IF YOU DEFEND YOURSELF OR
DEFEND YOUR FAMILY.
AND I THINK WE WOULD
PROBABLY HAVE A LOT LESS
CRIME IF THE CRIMINALS KNEW
IF THEY BROKE INTO THE HOUSE
THEY WOULD BE MEETING A
GRANNY WITH A SHOTGUN.
Kristi: YOU KNOW?
Pat: REALLY.
THEY THINK IT IS WITH
IMPUNITY.
THIEVES DO NOT WISH TO
ENCOUNTER ANYBODY.
THEY WANT TO STEAL YOUR
PROPERTY AND LEAVE.
IF THEY HAPPEN TO RUN INTO
YOU IN YOUR BEDROOM, WHILE
YOU'RE SLEEPING, THEY'LL TRY
TO KILL YOU SO YOU WON'T
TALK.
IF THEY THOUGHT -- SOME OF
THESE CRAZIES THAT GET LOOSE
IN THEATERS AND SCHOOLS, IF
THEY KNEW A CERTAIN NUMBER
OF PEOPLE WHO WERE ARMED --
THAT YOUNG MAN AT VIRGINIA
TECH, IF SOME OF THE
STUDENTS WERE ARMED, HE
COULDN'T HAVE GONE ON THE
KILLING RAMPAGE THAT HE
DID.
ANYHOW, I DON'T THINK
ANYTHING IS WRONG WITH
SELF-DEFENSE.
IF SELF-DEFENSE IS IN LAW,
IT'S A JUSTIFICATION FOR
HOMICIDE.
AND I SEE NOTHING WRONG WITH
DEFENDING YOURSELF AND USING
FORCE TO DO IT.
THE BIBLE SAYS TURN THE
OTHER CHEEK, I KNOW.
SOMEBODY SLAPS YOU ON ONE
CHEEK, TURN THE OTHER ONE.
AND THAT'S THE NORMAL
DEFENSE THAT WE'RE SUPPOSED
TO HAVE.
JESUS SAID DON'T RESIST
EVIL.
BUT AT THE SAME TIME, WHEN
IT COMES TO DOWN TO YOUR
WIFE GETTING KILLED, I THINK
THAT YOU NEED TO STAND UP.
Kristi: SURE.
PAT, I'VE GOT TO BE HONEST
WITH YOU.
I'VE ALWAYS BEEN SO
CONFLICTED, AND LET ME TELL
YOU WHY.
BECAUSE I TOTALLY AGREE
YOU'VE GOT TO PROTECT YOUR
FAMILY AND BABIES.
ONE OF THE VERY FIRST
STORIES I EVER DID WHEN I
WAS FIRST STARTING OUT, A
DAD WHO ACCIDENTALLY SHOT
HIS SON.
BECAUSE HIS SON HAD GONE TO
SPEND THE NIGHT AT A
FRIEND'S HOUSE AND DECIDED
TO COME HOME EARLY IN THE
MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.
SO THE FATHER THOUGHT IT WAS
A BURGLAR AND ENDED UP
SHOOTING HIM.
AND I INTERVIEWED THE DAD
AND I INTERVIEWED THE SON,
WHO HAD MAJOR BRAIN
COMPLICATIONS, AND I WAS
ALWAYS CONFLICTED BECAUSE
YOU UNDERSTAND THAT --
Pat: THAT WAS AN
ACCIDENT.
Kristi: OF COURSE.
Pat: GUNS ARE
DANGEROUS.
WE HAVE HERE AT CBN A
TRAINED POLICE FORCE --
THEY'RE TRAINED WITH
WEAPONS.
Kristi: EXACTLY.
Pat: AND, OF COURSE,
I'M TRAINED WITH WEAPONS.
BUT THE THOUGHT OF TAKING
SOMEBODY'S LIFE IS SOMETHING
HORRIBLE.
IT IS ONE THAT SHOULDN'T BE
TAKEN LIGHTLY.
THIS WHOLE IDEA, YOU SEE HIM
AND SAY I'M GOING TO BLOW
HIM AWAY -- NO WAY.
HUMAN LIFE.
Kristi: NEXT QUESTION,
MAUREEN SAYS, "I LEARNED
ABOUT THE BENEFITS OF
COCONUT OIL FROM YOUR SHOW,
AND I THANK YOU.
I HAVE DEM SHO DEMENTIA IN
MY FAMILY, I'M WONDERING
ABOUT OMEGA-3 FISH OILS.
IS THAT SOMETHING I SHOULD
TAKE?"
Pat: ABSOLUTELY.
THE WHOLE IDEA IS TO GET
CIRCULATION GOING SO YOU
DON'T BUILD UP THE AN
ANALOID PLAQUES.
FISH OIL, I TAKE THREE
TABLESPOONS A DAY.
Kristi: DOESN'T IT COME
BACK UP WHEN YOU BURP --
Pat: THEY HAVE THE
NORWEGIAN KIND NOW WITH A
LITTLE LEMON.
AND ANOTHER THING I
RECOMMEND IS PHOSPHA
PHOSPHATITLE SERIN.
AND THE OTHER IS A ACEYTL
AND IT CAUSES THE BRAIN TO
FLOW.
ALZHEIMER'S IS A DREADED
DISEASE, AND PEOPLE DON'T
UNDERSTAND WHAT IS THE DEAL,
BUT WE DID A THING ABOUT
COCONUT OIL AND IT SEEMS TO
HELP.
WHAT DID I JUST SAY?
Kristi: I NEED THE@
VITAMINS FOR BRAIN
RETENTION.
PHOSPHATATED --
Pat: SAY IT AGAIN.
WHAT IS IT?
Kristi: OH, NI
GOODNESS, PAT.
I DON'T REMEMBER ALL OF
THEM.
Pat: JUST ONE.
Kristi: OMEGA-3s, AND
PHOSPHATITLE SERIN.
Pat: AND WHAT'S THE
SECOND ONE?
Kristi: WE TALKED ABOUT
OMEGA-3 FISH OIL.
Pat: AND WHAT WAS THE
OTHER ONE?
L-CARNITIN.
IT INCREASES BLOOD FLOW IN
YOUR BRAIN.
Kristi: IT IS FLOWING
RIGHT NOW.
Pat: I DON'T MEAN TO
PUT STRESS ON YOU?
Kristi: SANDY, THE
PRODUCER, IS LIKE GO TO THE
NEXT STORY.
Pat: NO.
SHE WANTS YOU TO TELL THE
ANSWERS.
Kristi: STILL AHEAD,
PAT, A SINGLE MOM HAS TO
MAKE SOME DIFFICULT
CHOICES.
I HAD TO MAKE DECISIONS
ON DO I PAY CERTAIN BILLS,
OR DO I BUY FOODS, OR DO I
BUY MY PRESCRIPTIONS.
SOMETIMES I'VE HAD TO PUT
STUFF BACK OFF THE SHELF.
Kristi: SEE WHERE THIS
MOTHER OF THREE FINDS HELP
AND HOPE FOR HER FAMILY.
Reporter: WELCOME BACK
TO WASHINGTON FOR THIS CBN
NEWS BREAK.
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAS
MOVED A STEP CLOSER TO
OFFICIALLY ENDORSING
SAME-SEX MARRIAGE.
AND CALLING FOR THE REPEAL
OF THE FEDERAL LAW THAT
DEFINES MARRIAGE AS A UNION
BETWEEN ONE MAN AND ONE
WOMAN.
A COMMITTEE VOTED TO ADD THE
ISSUES TO THE PARTY'S
PLATFORM THIS WEEKEND.
THE PLATFORM NOW GOES TO THE
NATIONAL CONVENTION IN NORTH
CAROLINA IN SEPTEMBER.
THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
HAS FILED A LAWSUIT ASKING A
FEDERAL COURT TO ENFORCE A
SUBPOENA AGAINST
ATTORNEY-GENERAL ERIC
HOLDER.
THE HOUSE HAS TRIED FOR
MONTHS TO GET HOLDER TO
RELEASE DOCUMENTS RELATED TO
THE "FAST AND FURIOUS"
GUN-RUNNING SCANDAL.
AN OPERATION WHERE MORE THAN
2,000 GUNS WERE ALLOWED TO
BE TRANSFERRED ACROSS THE
U.S. BORDER INTO MEXICO.
THE GUNS WERE USED TO KILL
AT LEAST ONE U.S. BORDER
AGENT AND SCORES OF U.S.
CITIZENS.
THE WHITE HOUSE REFUSES TO
TURN OVER THE DOCUMENTS,
CLAIMING EXECUTIVE
PRIVILEGE.
PAT AND KRISTI WILL BE BACK
WITH MORE OF "THE 700 CLUB"
RIGHT AFTER THIS.
Pat: WELCOME BACK TO
THIS EDITION OF "THE 700
CLUB."
MICHELLE DELABONO IS THE
SINGLE MOTHER OF THREE
CHILDREN.
SHE ALSO HAS MULTIPLE
SCLEROSIS.
BUT THAT DOESN'T STOP
MICHELLE FROM BEING
EVERYTHING IN HER POWER TO
PROVIDE FOR HER POWER.
AND NOW SHE HAS SOME HELP
PUTTING FOOD ON THE TABLE.
Reporter: ONE OF
MICHELLE'S FAVORITE
ACTIVITIES IS PLAYING AT THE
PARK WITH HER CHILDREN.
BUT SOME DAYS SHE CAN ONLY
WATCH FROM A DISTANCE
BECAUSE SHE IS BATTLING
MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS.
MICHELLE'S M.S. MAKES IT
DIFFICULT FOR THE SINGLE
MOTHER OF THREE TO WALK OR
EVEN COOK A MEAL FOR HER
FAMILY.
I CALL IT A CHALLENGE.
I DON'T CALL IT A
DISABILITY.
I CALL IT AS A CHALLENGE
BECAUSE THEN IT GIVES ME
MORE REASONS TO GO ON.
Reporter: MICHELLE AND
HER FAMILY LIVE ON A VERY
LIMITED INCOME FROM SOCIAL
SECURITY.
THEY SHOP AT THRIFT STORES
TO HELP STRETCH THEIR
DOLLARS.
BUT WITH THE RISING COST OF
FOOD AND GASOLINE, IT IS
TOUGH TO GET BY.
I HAD TO MAKE DECISIONS
ON DO I PAY CERTAIN BILLS
THIS MONTH OR DO I BUY FOOD
THIS MONTH OR DO I BUY
PRESCRIPTIONS.
I ALWAYS TRY TO BUDGET MY
MONEY AND FINANCES, AND
SOMETIMES I'VE HAD TO PUT
STUFF BACK ON THE SHELVES.
Reporter: TO HELP FILL
THE GAP, MICHELLE TURNS TO
"OPERATION BLESSING"
PARTNER, JOSEPH'S
STOREHOUSE.
Reporter: THIS MINISTRY
PROVIDES FOOD AND SPIRITUAL
SUPPORT FOR MIABLE IN WILSON
COUNTY, TENNESSEE.
"OPERATION BLESSING"
PROVIDES THOUSANDS OF POUNDS
OF FOOD TO HELP FAMILIES
LIKE MICHELLE.
MICHELLE SAYS SHE IS
GRATEFUL TO JOSEPH'S
STOREHOUSE AND "OPERATION
BLESSING" FOR HELPING TO PUT
FOOD ON THE TABLE.
IT IS WONDERFUL TO SEE
PEOPLE WHO HAVE A KIND HEART
AND THEY HELP OUT FAMILIES
SUCH AS MYSELF.
THEY DON'T REALLY GET
PRAISED, BUT I'M THE TYPE OF
PERSON THAT I'LL NEVER
FORGET SOMEBODY THAT HELPS
ME AND MY FAMILY.
Pat: WHAT A BEAUTIFUL
LADY.
WHAT A BRAVE PERSON.
WE NEED TO PRAY FOR SOMEBODY
LIKE MICHELLE DELABONO.
AND THE FACT WE CAN HELP HER
WITH FOOD SO SHE DOESN'T
HAVE ALL OF THAT STRESS,
WE'RE DELIGHTED.
IT IS ONE MORE PERSON WE'RE
HELPING.
WE'RE YOU'RE HAND EXTENDED
TO HELP.
IF YOU WANT TO PARTICIPATE,
JUST GIVE US A CALL AND SAY
THIS IS FOR "OPERATION
BLESSING," OR THIS IS FOR
CBN, WHATEVER.
1-800-759-0700.
WE'VE GOT SOME WONDERFUL
TESTIMONY LEFT TO GO IN THIS
SHOW, AND KRISTI IS GOING TO
TELL US ABOUT IT.
Kristi: WE DO, PAT.
STEVEN MARTIN WAS EXPECTED
TO SPEND SOME DOWN TIME WITH
HIS FAMILY, INSTEAD AN
ACCIDENT STOLE HIS GOOD TIME
AND ROBBED HIM OF THE USE OF
HIS HANDS FOR TWO YEARS.
AS A FAMILY, WE WERE JUST
ENJOYING THE JACUZZI.
AND WE HAD A GERMAN SHEPHERD
DOG, AND SHE WAS NIPPPING AT
THE BUBBLES IN THE JACUZZI.
AND WE WERE AFRAID SHE WOULD
BITE ONE OF THE BOYS.
I GRABBED HER AT THE SCRUFF
OF HER NECK, AND IN DOING
THAT, SOMETHING HAPPENED IN
MY HAND AND IT SNAPPED AND I
COULDN'T RELEASE MY
FINGERS.
Reporter: IN AN
INSTANT, STEVEN LOST THE USE
OF HIS LEFT HAND.
I HAD TROUBLE EVEN
HOLDING A GLASS.
AS YOU DO EVERYTHING WITH
YOUR THUMB AND YOUR OTHER
FINGER, AND I COULDN'T GRASP
ANYTHING.
THERE WAS NO CONTROL THERE.
Reporter: WHEN HIS HAND
DIDN'T GET ANY BETTER,
STEVEN WENT TO THE DOCTOR.
THE DOCTOR TOLD ME AT
THAT POINT THE ONLY WAY TO
REPAIR WHAT I HAD, WHICH HE
REFERRED TO AS TRIGGER
FINGER, WAS THROUGH
SURGERY.
THAT WASN'T AN OPTION.
HAND SURGERY WAS IN THE TENS
OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS.
AND THAT IS SOMETHING WE
COULDN'T AFFORD.
Reporter: STEVEN DIDN'T
HAVE ANY MEDICAL INSURANCE,
SO HE BEGAN TAKING
OVER-THE-COUNTER PAIN
MEDICATION.
THE PAIN MEDICATION WOULD
TAKE THE EDGE OFF.
IT WOULDN'T REALLY TAKE IT
AWAY.
YOU WORKED AROUND IT AND
START TO LIVE WITH THE
PAIN.
YOU DON'T HAVE ANY CHOICE.
Reporter: STEVEN PRAYED
FOR MANY NIGHTS FOR GOD TO
HEAL HIS HAND.
HE ALSO FOUND EN
ENCOURAGEMENT FROM WATCHING
"700 CLUB INTERACTIVE."
OUT OF THE BLUE, TERRY
GOES, I SEE A MAN WITH HIS
HAND -- AND SEE SEEMED
CONFUSED -- IN THE SHAPE
WITH A CLAW.
THERE IS SOMEONE ELSE,
WHERE YOU HAVE A PROBLEM
WITH YOUR HAND, WHERE IT
GETS LOCKED INTO SORT OF A
CLAW-LIKE POSITION.
AND GOD IS HEALING YOU.
AND I WAS LIKE, IT'S GOT
TO BE ME.
IT WAS INSTANTANEOUS.
THE PAIN WAS GONE.
I CAN MOVE MY FINGERS
WITHOUT ANY TROUBLE.
I'M A BELIEVER, AND I
BELIEVE IN PRAYER, BUT WHEN
IT HAPPENS TO YOU, IT IS
AMAZING.
Reporter: STEVEN AND
KAREN WERE AMAZED STEVEN
COULD OPEN HIS HAND FOR THE
FIRST TIME IN TWO YEARS.
I GRABBED THE PHONE AND
CALLED FAMILY.
HE WAS ABLE TO USE HIS HANDS
AND OPEN HIS HANDS.
IT WAS VERY EXCITING.
Reporter: ONE OF THE
FIRST THINGS STEVEN WAS ABLE
TO DO THAT HE HADN'T BEEN
ABLE TO DO BEFORE, WAS SHOOT
HIS BOW.
IT ALLOWED ME TO DO
ACTIVITIES I WASN'T ABLE TO
DO.
TO WORK WITH MY KIDS ON THE
CAR.
AND TO HAVE THAT BONDING
THAT A FATHER NEEDS TO HAVE
WITH YOUNG TEENAGERS.
I'M PROOF THAT GOD STILL
HEALS TODAY.
GOD IS ACTIVE TODAY AND
YESTERDAY AND TOMORROW, AND
YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE THE
SCRIPTURES.
AND HE SAYS HE IS THE HEALER
AND THAT HE WANTS TO HEAL
YOU.
GOD HEALS.
Kristi: GOD DOES HEAL
AND HE IS TRUE TO HIS WORD.
THAT'S WHY WE WANT TO
ENCOURAGE YOU RIGHT NOW WITH
MORE INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE
SEEN A MIRACLE FROM GOD.
HERE IS ONE --
Pat: LET'S PRAY.
Kristi: YOU WANT TO
PRAY?
Pat: NO.
TELL US MORE.
SHE HAD AN INFECTION FROM
THE BACK OF HER THROAT THAT
CAUSED BLEEDING.
PAT, YOU GAVE A WORD OF
KNOWLEDGE.
YOU SAID THERE IS A FUNGUS
IN THE BACK OF YOUR THROAT.
IT WOULD BE LIKE A BURNING
IN YOUR THROAT, THAT IS
GOING TO BE HEALED
COMPLETELY.
SHE IMMEDIATELY FELT THE
HEAT, AND THE BLEEDING IN
HER THROAT STOPPED.
HOWEVER, THERE WAS STILL
IRRITATION IN HER THROAT.
A FEW DAYS LATER, SHE FELT
THE HEAT AND THE HEALING WAS
COMPLETE.
Pat: A FUNGUS IN HER
THROAT -- I DIDN'T KNOW THAT
LADY, BUT GOD KNEW.
AND GOD KNOWS YOU.
WHAT IS HURTING?
DO YOU HAVE A SKIN RASH?
PSORIASIS?
DO YOU HAVE AN EAR PROBLEM,
YOU CAN'T HEAR?
WHATEVER THE PROBLEM, WE'RE
GOING TO PRAY.
FATHER, I JOIN WITH KRISTI,
AND WE AGREE TOGETHER FOR
THE NEEDS OF THIS AUDIENCE.
A NECK MUSCLE IS BEING
HEALED RIGHT NOW..
PUT YOUR HAND ON YOUR NECK.
IN THE NAME OF JESUS, BE
MADE WHOLE.
KRISTI?
Kristi: THE LORD IS
HEALING SOMEONE WITH A TORN
LIGAMENT IN YOUR LEG.
YOU TWISTED IT, OR YOU FELL,
AND THE LORD IS HEALING YOU
RIGHT NOW.
THANK YOU, JESUS.
Pat: A BLADDER
INFECTION WAS JUST HEALED.
YOU'VE HAD AN AWFUL TIME
WITH THIS.
IT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SIX
OR SEVEN YEARS.
AND RIGHT NOW, AT THIS
MOMENT, THAT INFECTION IS
BEING BURNED OUT OF YOUR
BODY, AND YOU WILL HAVE NO
MORE PROBLEM WITH IT.
AND MAY THE ANOINTING OF THE
HOLY SPIRIT COME UPON YOU
AND MEET EVERY NEED IN YOUR
LIFE IN JESUS' NAME.
Kristi: THANK YOU,
LORD.
AMEN.
Pat: TOMORROW WE HAVE
ANOTHER IN THE SERIES BY
THIS CHARMING LADY, KRISTI,
WHO IS GOING TO TELL YOU
SOMETHING ABOUT --
Kristi: DATING FOR
SINGLE PARENTS.
Pat: AND YOU'RE ONE OF
THEM?
Kristi: I'M A SINGLE
PARENT.
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT DATING,
BUT I'M A SINGLE PARENT.
Pat: DO YOU KNOW HOW TO
DO SAFE DATE?
Kristi: I DON'T KNOW
ABOUT DATING.
TUNE IN TOMORROW AND YOU'LL
FIND OUT.
Pat: TODAY WE LEAVE YOU
WITH THESE WORDS FROM THE
PSALMS: "OH, LORD, MY GOD, I
CRIED OUT TO YOU AND YOU
HEALED ME."
THAT'S ALL OF THE TIME WE'VE
GOT.
WE'VE GOT TELEPHONES
AVAILABLE.
EVEN THOUGH THIS PROGRAM
ISN'T ON THE AIR, IF YOU
NEED HELP, 1-800-759-0700,
OR YOU CAN LOG ON TO
CBN.COM.
AND TOMORROW, KRISTI WILL
UNVEIL HER SECRET.
Kristi: ON THE SERIES.
WE'RE A MESS TODAY, PAT.
Pat: ALL RIGHT.
BYE-BYE.
