.
A FATHER TO BE WITH A
GUILTY CONSCIENCE.
I WOULDN'T WISH IT ON
ANYONE.
Reporter: AND BLOOD ON
HIS HANDS.
HE JUST TOOK A LIFE.
Reporter: PLUS...
I HAD TWO YEARS TO LIVE.
Reporter: A DEVASTATING
PROGNOSIS.
THERE I WAS, 21 YEARS
OLD, 2001, AND IT SEEMED
LIKE MY DREAMS WERE DASHED.
Reporter: AND A WILL TO
SURVIVE.
JUST TO WAKE UP ANOTHER
DAY MEANS THERE'S HOPE.
Reporter: ON TODAY'S
"700 CLU "700 CLUB."
Pat: WELCOME TO THIS
EDITION OF "700 CLUB."
IT IS AN ANNIVERSARY OF A
TRAGEDY THAT WAS HAPPENING
IN NEW ORLEANS.
WE WERE PRAYING FOR NEW
ORLEANS, AND WE WERE VERY
CONCERNED ABOUT BEFORE THE
HURRICANE, AND WE WERE
CONCERNED AFTERWARDS, AND WE
HAVE BEEN HELPING THE PEOPLE
IN NEW ORLEANS.
BUT RIGHT NOW THERE IS
ANOTHER ONE, BUT IT LOOKS
LIKE ISAAC WON'T STRIKE AS
HARD.
THE CORE OF ENGINEERS HAVE
DONE A PRETTY GOOD JOB.
Terry: I HOPE THEY'RE
RIGHT ABOUT THAT.
THEY'RE SAYING THEY'RE
PREPARED FOR ISAAC, AND THE
FORMER MAYOR TELLS CBN NEWS
HE GOT THE BLUEPRINT FOR
REBUILDING THAT CITY FROM
THE BIBLE.
EPHRAIM GRAHAM HAS THE
STORY.
Reporter: THE WIND
CONTINUES TO PICK UP SPEED
AS ISAAC PREPARES TO MAKE
LAND FALL.
THIS WILL BE THE FIRST TEST
THAT THE LEVEE SYSTEM HAS
BEEN REPLACED.
THIS IS WHERE THE INFAMOUS
BREACH HAPPENED AT THE
17th STREET CANAL.
IT HAS BEEN A LONG ROAD TO
RECOVERY.
AND NO ONE KNOWS THAT BETTER
THAN THE MAYOR WHO LED THEM
THROUGH IT.
NOW I LOOK AT IT AND I
SEE THE POPULATION GROWING.
87% OF THE PEOPLE ARE BACK,
LAST REPORT.
UNEMPLOYMENT IS AT HISTORIC
LOWS, AND CONSTRUCTION IS
EVERYWHERE.
Reporter: FLASH BACK TO
AUGUST 29th, 2005, WHEN
DESTRUCTION WAS EVERYWHERE.
HURRICANE KATRINA HIT,
LEAVING BROKEN LEVEES IN HER
WAKE.
BYRON REMEMBERS WATCHING THE
STORM AS IT WIPED OUT HIS
LIFE'S WORK.
THIS BOAT WAS HERE, AND
IT WOUND OUT A MILE UP O ON
THE OTHER SIDE OF THE LEVEE,
CLOSE TO THE RIVER, IN THE
TREES.
THE LEVEE WAS FULL OF BOATS
TURNED UP SIDE DOWN.
Reporter: MAYOR NEGAN
ORDERED THE EVACUATION OF
THE ENTIRE CITY, AND THEN
SCRAMBLED TO SAVE THOSE
BEHIND.
IN THE END, AN ESTIMATED 700
RESIDENTS DIED.
I DIDN'T SLEEP MUCH FOR A
LONG TIME.
I'VE BEEN OUT OF OFFICE FOR
TWO YEARS, AND NOW JUST TO
THE POINT WHERE I'M
BASKETBALL SLEEPING
DECENTLY.
IT WAS QUITE A TOLL.
Reporter: NAGEN SHARES
HIS STORY IN "KATRINA'S
SECRETS, STORMS AFTER THE
STORM."
ONE SECRET, WHERE HE TURNED
FOR GUIDANCE TO START OVER.
I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
HOW DO YOU RECOVER A CITY
THAT IS ALMOST TOTALLY
DEFENSDEVASTATED.
I'M CHECKING THE INTERNET,
TALKING TO EXPERTS, I
COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING.
GUESS WHERE I FOUND THE
ANSWER?
NEHEMIAH, WHEN JERUSALEM WAS
DESTROYED.
IT GAVE ME A ROADMAP TO HOW
TO APPROACH THE REBUILDING
OF THIS CITY.
FOR ME, YOU KNOW, GOD WAS
DEFINITELY INVOLVED EVERY
STEP OF THE WAY.
THERE IS NO WAY WE COULD
HAVE RECOVERED THIS CITY
WITHOUT HIS HAND BEING
INVOLVED IN IT.
Reporter: THE STORY OF
NEW ORLEANS' RECOVERY
RECOVERY IS STILL BEING
WRITTEN.
8,000 PROPERTIES WERE
REPAIRED OR REBUILT FROM
SEPTEMBER 2010 TO MARCH
2011.
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN SEVEN
YEARS, THE CITY NO LONGER
TOPS THE LIST OF THE MOST
BLIGHTED IN AMERICA.
CERTAIN SECTIONS OF THE
CITY, THERE IS QUITE A BIT
OF CRIMES.
SO WE'RE STILL DEALING WITH
OUR STRUGGLES.
BUT FOR THE MOST PART, WE'RE
PRETTY MUCH BACK.
Reporter: ONE AREA OF
THE CITY THAT STILL HAS NOT
COME BACK IS THE LOWER NINTH
WARD.
TODAY'S DEADLINE SAYS IT
ALL, MANY WILL WEATHER THE
HURRICANE HERE AT HOME.
BUT THEY'RE ALSO PRAYING IT
PASSES OVER WITHOUT DOING
ANY HARM.
EPHRAIM GRAHAM, CBN NEWS,
NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA.
Pat: THEY ARE WONDERFUL
PEOPLE IN NEW ORLEANS.
IT WAS A HORRIBLE TRAGEDY,
BUT THANKFULLY WE WERE THERE
TO HELP.
FEMA WAS MISMATCHED FROM THE
TOP ON DOWN.
THEY JUST DIDN'T KNOW WHAT
TO DO.
I FLEW OVER IT IN A
HELICOPTER SHORTLY AFTER
THAT TRAGEDY, AND THESE
HOUSE, WHICH WERE BEAUTIFUL
HOMES, WERE JUST A PILE OF
STICKS.
IT WAS JUST SO TRAGIC.
YOU COULD SEE THE
FLOODWATERS EVERYWHERE.
Terry: WE SELDOM SEE
THAT KIND OF DEVASTATION
FROM SOMETHING.
AND HOPEFULLY AS COMPLETELY
AS THAT WAS A HUGE TRAGEDY
FOR NEW ORLEANS, YOU WOULD
LIKE TO THINK REGARDING FEMA
AND OTHER AGENCIES, THEY
WOULD LEARNED SOMETHING AND
DEVELOPED ANYTHING.
Pat: I DON'T KNOW THAT
FEMA HAS LEARNED ANYTHING.
GEORGE BUSH JAMMED A WHOLE
BUNCH OF AGENCIES TOGETHER,
HOMELAND SECURITY -- IT WAS
NONSENSE.
YOU JUST CAN'T DO THAT.
YOU JUST CAN'T TAKE 10 OR 12
GOVERNMENT AGENCIES AND JAM
THEM TOGETHER AND SAY NOW
WE'VE MADE IT EFFICIENT.
THAT WAS NONSENSE.
HE HAD THE HEAD OF AN ARAB
HORSE ASSOCIATION IN CHARGE
OF FEMA.
HORSES, I LIKE, BUT HE HAD
NO EXPERIENCE IN CLEANING UP
A CITY.
IT WAS RIDICULOUS.
BUT MAYBE THIS TIME --
MAYBE, MAYBE, MAYBE.
THEY'VE BEEN DOING A LOT OF
WORK ON IT.
WE HOPE SO.
THIS STORM, BY THE WAY, IS
HUGE.
BUT IT IS NOT CARRYING THE
SAME LEVEL OF WIND THAT
KATRINA HAD.
NEVERTHELESS, IF IT STAYS IN
THERE AND IT CHURNS AROUND,
A LOW OF THE LOW-LYING AREAS
, LAKE PONCHATRAIN, CAN
START SPILLING OUT.
WE'RE PRAYING AND HOPING
THIS TIME NEW ORLEANS WILL
COME THROUGH UNSCATHED AND
MAYBE WE CAN GO DOWN THERE
AND ENJOY SOME OF THAT.
LEE WEBB HAS MORE OF OUR TOP
NEWS.
Lee: PAT, THE
REPUBLICAN NATIONAL
CONVENTION KICKS OFF IN
TAMPA WITH THE POLLS SHOWING
A TIGHT RACE BETWEEN
PRESIDENT OBAMA AND MITT
ROMNEY.
A NEW "WASHINGTON POST" POL
HAS ROMNEY AT 47% AND THE
PRESIDENT AT 46%.
THAT IS A VIRTUAL DEAD
HEAT.
TWO UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO
PROFESSORS HAS DEVISED A
MODEL THAT HAS DELEGATES
BUZZING.
IT USES ECONOMIC INDICATORS
FROM ALL 50 STATES TO
FORECAST THE WINNER.
IT SHOWS ROMNEY WINNING WITH
320 ELECTORAL VOTES, AND THE
PRESIDENT WITH 218.
THE PROFESSORS SAY THE MODEL
HAS BEEN RIGHT IN EVERY
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION SINCE
1980, PAT.
Pat: WELL, THE STARS
AREN'T LINING UP IN FAVOR OF
OBAMA.
THE ECONOMY IS IN TERRIBLE
SHAPE.
THE UNEMPLOYMENT AT 8.2%.
THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WHO
ARE NOT ON THE ROLL.
SO THE ACTUAL UNEMPLOYMENT
IS MUCH HIGHER THAN.
BUSINESSES ARE FAILING AT A
RECORD RATE.
FORECLOSURES ARE GOING UP AT
A RECORD RATE.
AND NOW WE'VE GOT HIGHER
GASOLINE PRICES.
THE PRICE AT THE PUMP IS
CROWDING $4 A GALLON, AND
THE PRICE PER BARREL OF
CRUDE IS HOVERING AROUND
$100.
IT IS GOING TO HIT THERE AND
MORE.
THAT'S NOT GOING TO HELP THE
PRESIDENT.
SO EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK, IT
IS KIND OF BAD NEWS FOR TEAM
OBAMA.
SO THAT'S THE WAY IT'S GOING
TO BE, AND THESE PROFESSORS
SAY FROM THEIR ANALYSIS OF
KEY INDICATORS, THEY'VE
PREDICTED EACH RACE OVER THE
LAST 10 OR 20 YEARS, AND
THEY SAY THIS MODEL WILL
BEAR FRUIT AGAIN.
I DARE SAY THOSE PROFESSORS
ARE RIGHT.
WE'LL SEE.
LEE?
Lee: MIKE HUCKABEE
TELLS CBN'S DAVID BRODY
THERE ARE TWO BIG REASONS HE
DIDN'T MAKE ANOTHER RUN FOR
PRESIDENT.
ONE WAS THE TOXIC
ATMOSPHERE THAT EXISTED IN
THE PARTY.
A CANDIDATE THAT DOESN'T
ENJOY GOING OUT AND TEARING
OTHER PEOPLE IN THE
REPUBLICAN TICKET.
I'LL MIX IT UP WITH THE
LIBERALS ANY DAY OF THE WEEK
AND HAVE FUN DOING IT.
EVEN THEN, I'M NOT GOING TO
DO IT IN AN ANGRY WAY.
AND THE OTHER FACTOR, AND
IT'S A HARSH REALITY, I DID
NOT SEE THE LEVEL OF MONEY
COMING MY WAY THAT WOULD
HAVE BEEN NOT ONLY NECESSARY
TO COMPETE, BUT IN THIS
WORLD OF POLITICS, IT IS NOT
ENOUGH TO HAVE MONEY TO GET
YOUR MESSAGE OUT.
Lee: HUCKABEE SPOKE TO
DAVID BRODY AT THE
REPUBLICAN NATIONAL
CONVENTION IN TAMPA.
MANY EVANGELICALS WANTED
HUCKABEE TO RUN.
AND POLLS INDICATED HE WOULD
HAVE BEEN A STRONG
CONTENDER.
YOU CAN SEE MORE OF DAVID'S
INTERVIEW WITH THE FORMER
ARKANSAS GOVERNOR ON "THE
BRODY FILE."
A MAJOR COALITION OF BLACK
PASTORS HAS THANKED THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY FOR
STRONGLY SUPPORTING
TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE IN ITS
PLATFORM.
REVEREND WILLIAM OWENS SAYS
WE THANK THE G.O.P. FOR
ENSURING THAT AT LEAST ONE
PARTY IS WILLING TO STAND UP
FOR THE COMMON SENSE,
BIBLICAL UNDERSTANDING OF
MARRIAGE.
OWEN'S SON SAYS CHRISTIANS
FAILED TO STAND UP WHEN
ABORTION WAS LEGALIZED, AND
THEY MUST NOT BE PASSIVE NOW
ABOUT SAME-SEX MARRIAGE.
WE STAND TO REALLY HURT
THE HEART OF GOD IF WE TAKE
THAT POSITION.
WE'RE MORE ACCOUNTABLE TO
GOD THAN BE ARE TO MAN.
Lee: BOTH MEN SAY IF
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS
GOING TO PLACE POWER BEHIND
GAY MARRIAGE, GROUPS LIKE
THEIRS MUST RISE TO DEFEND
TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE.
Pat: GIVEN THE STATE OF
MARRIAGE AROUND THE COUNTRY,
OVERWHELMING VOTERS HAVE
VOTED IN FAVOR OF
TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE WHEN IT
HAS COME ON THE BALLOT.
THERE HAVE BEEN
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS
DEFINING MARRIAGE AS A MAN
AND A WOMAN, AND SO FORTH.
TO THINK THAT THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY WOULD PUT IN THEIR
PLATFORM SUPPORT OF GAY
MARRIAGE, YOU JUST SAY WHAT
ARE THEY THINKING ABOUT?
WHAT ARE THEY THINKING
ABOUT?
THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION HAS
INSULTED THE CATHOLIC CHURCH
IN TERMS OF FUNDING FOR
CONTRACEPTION AND FORCED ALL
OF THE THINGS THAT THEY'RE
TRYING TO IMPOSE ON CATHOLIC
SCHOOLS.
AND NOW TO SEE THIS IN THE
PLATFORM, YOU SAY, ARE YOU
OUT OF YOUR MIND?
WELL, MAYBE NOT.
WE'LL SEE.
LEE?
Lee: PAT, AN ATHEIST
GROUP HAS REMOVED TWO
BILLBOARDS THAT ATTACKED
CHRISTIANITY AND MORM
MORMANISM.
THEY PLACED THE BILLBOARDS
IN CHARLOTTE, NORTH
CAROLINA.
THE GROUP SAYS IT PULLED
THEM AFTER IT RECEIVED WHAT
IT CALLED A LARGE VOLUME OF
THREATS.
ONE BILLBOARD CALLED JESUS A
USELESS SAVIOR, AND ANOTHER
SAYS MORMNISM IS A FORM OF
ALIENISM.
HAVING A POT BELLY COULD BE
WORSE FOR YOUR HEART THAN
BEING OBESE.
A NEW STUDY SUGGESTS THAT
PEOPLE WITH A HEALTHY
OVERALL WEIGHT, BUT TOO MUCH
BELLY FAT ARE NEARLY THREE
TIMES AS LIKELY TO DIE FROM
HEART PROBLEMS.
EXTRA FAT AROUND THE WASTE
IS PACKED WITH WHAT IS
CALLED BAD FAT.
IT IS JAMMED AROUND THE
ORGANS AND IT RELEASES MORE
OF THE INFLAMMATORY, TOXIC
CHEMICALS THAT RAISE THE
RISK OF HEART DISEASE.
STUDIES PROVE THE LOCATION
OF FAT IS IMPORTANT NO
MATTER HOW MUCH YOU WEIGH.
Pat: IT IS BAD NEWS FOR
THE OLDER FOLKS.
THOUGH POT BELLIES KIND OF
WANT TO CREEP UP ON YOU.
YOU'VE GOT TO FIGHT THEM.
I WAS IN THE GYM.
I WAS LIFTING WEIGHTS
YESTERDAY.
YOU'VE GOT TO WORK ON THOSE
THINGS.
Terry: WELL, THAT'S
YOU'RE LAW OF YOUTH.
Pat: THE LAW OF YOUTH.
IF YOU CAN BUILD THESE UP,
MAYBE THE ONE DOWN HERE WILL
DIMINISH.
YOU HOPE THAT'S THE CASE.
AND THE OTHER THING IS THIS
EXERCISE IS PUSHING AWAY
FROM THE TABLE.
I RECOMMEND IT STRONGLY.
Terry: YOU DON'T EVEN
HAVE TO HAVE WEIGHTS TO DO
THAT.
Pat: GET YOUR HANDS
FIRMLY IMPLANTED ON THE
TABLE AND ROLL BACK.
Terry: AND GET UP AND
RUN.
Pat: THAT WILL CUT THE
POT BELLY BACK.
Terry: UP NEXT, MEET A
DOCTOR WHO HAS STUDIED IN
DEPTH THE PRESIDENT'S 2700
PAGE HEALTH CARE PLAN.
HE'LL SHARE SOME SHOCKING
INFORMATION ABOUT OBAMACARE
AFTER THIS.
Pat: WELL, TWO YEARS
HAVE PASSED SINCE THE
PRESIDENT SIGNED HIS HEALTH
CARE BILL INTO LAW.
BUT OBAMACARE IS JUST
BEGINNING TO HAVE EFFECT.
AS MARK MARTIN REPORTS, MOST
AMERICANS HAVE NOT THE
SLIGHTEST CLUE AS TO WHAT
IMPACT THAT LAW WILL HAVE IN
THEIR LIVES.
AND THAT INCLUDES MEMBERS OF
CONGRESS WHO NOT ONLY VOTED
FOR IT, THEY DIDN'T READ
IT.
Reporter: IT IS KNOWN
AS OBAMACARE, AND THE
PATIENT PROTECTION AND
AFFORDABLE CARE ACT HAS BEEN
CONTROVERSIAL SINCE IT WAS
DRAFTED IN 2009 AND SIGNED
INTO LAW A YEAR LATER.
IT GIVES THE GOVERNMENT
CONTROL OVER ONE-SIXTH OF
THE U.S. ECONOMY, AND IS
MORE THAN 2700 PAGES LONG.
MOST LAWMAKERS WHO VOTED FOR
THE BILL ADMITTED THEY
HADN'T EVEN READ IT.
EVEN ITS MOST ARDENT
SUPPORTER, THEN SPEAKER OF
THE HOUSE, NANCY PELOSI.
WE HAVE TO PASS THE BILL
SO THAT YOU CAN FIND OUT
WHAT IS IN IT.
Reporter: ONE MAN WHO
HAS STUDIED THE LAW IN
DETAIL IS DR. C.L. GREY.
IN HIS BOOK "THE BATTLE FOR@ú
AMERICA'S SOUL," HE PAINTS
AN OMINOUS PICTURE OF LIFE
IN AMERICA UNDER
GOVERNMENT-MANDATED HEALTH
CARE, ESPECIALLY FOR THE
ELDERLY AND THOSE WITH
LIFE-THREATENING ILLNESSES.
Pat: JOINING US TO TALK
ABOUT THIS CONCEPT FOR
PATIENT-CENTERED CARE IS
DR. C.L. GREY.
HE IS THE PRESIDENT AND
FOUNDER OF AN ORGANIZATION
CALLED "PHYSICIANS FOR
REFORM."
HE HAS WRITTEN A BOOK CALLED
"THE BATTLE FOR AMERICA'S
SOUL."
IT IS VERY FAR-REACHING AS
TO THE CONCEPTS OF THE TWO
CLASHES IN OUR SOCIETY.
DR. GREY, THANK YOU FOR
BEING WITH US.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
HAVING ME, PAT.
Pat: BEFORE WE GET INTO
THE HEALTH CARE STUFF, WHAT
ARE THE BASIC CONCEPTS THAT
ARE CLASHING IN OUR SOCIETY?
I REALLY GOT STARTED
ABOUT THIS BECAUSE MY CARE
AND CONCERN FOR THE
PATIENT.
BECAUSE HEALTH CARE IS VERY
PERSONAL.
IT AFFECTS DEMOCRATS,
INDEPENDENTS, AND
REPUBLICANS.
WHAT PEOPLE NEED TO
UNDERSTAND IS THE FORCES
BEHIND WHAT IS HAPPENING.
AND THERE IS REALLY THE
JUDAEO CHRISTIAN WORLD VIEW,
WHICH, OF COURSE, YOU
UNDERSTAND EXTREMELY WELL.
AT THE BASIS OF THAT, THERE
IS THE CONCEPT OF TRUTH AND
THE CONCEPT OF THE
INDIVIDUAL.
AS OPPOSED TO THAT, WE HAVE
WHAT I CALL THE POST-MODERN
WORLD VIEW.
AND THE POST-MODERN WORLD
VIEW SETS ASIDE THE CONCEPT
OF TRUTH AND SETS ASIDE THE
INTRINSIC DIGNITY OF THE
HUMAN.
BECAUSE THERE IS NO GOD.
WHEN YOU SET ASIDE THE
CONCEPT OF THE GOD, YOU SET
ASIDE THE CONCEPT OF THE
INTRINSIC WORTH OF THE
INDIVIDUAL.
Pat: WHAT IS THE
SUBSTITUTE?
WELL, THERE IS NO
SUBSTITUTE.
I GUESS THERE IS A, I GUESS,
REPLACEMENT.
THAT'S WHEN YOU REMOVE GOD
FROM THE PICTURE.
THAT TAKES EFFECT AND HAS A
SEVERE IMPACT ON HEALTH CARE
BECAUSE OF HOW THESE WORLD
VIEWS VIEW THE PATIENT.
Pat: ALL RIGHT.
GIVE ME SPECIFICS THAT WE
CAN GET DRILLED DOWN ON TO
WHAT ONE WOULD -- ONE WOULD
BE AFFECTED.
PERHAPS A STORY.
THE STORY OF BARBARA WAGNER
WOULD BE MOST HELPFUL.
BARBARA WAS A 64-YEAR-OLD
GAL IN OREGON AND SHE DIDN'T
HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE AND
ENDED UP ON A STATE-RUN
PROGRAM.
SHE HAD RECURRENT LUNG
CANCER, AND SHE WENT TO HER
ONCOLOGIST AND HE
RECOMMENDED TREATMENT WITH A
NEW CHEMOTHERAPY.
SHE WENT TO GET THE
CHEMOTHERAPY, BUT SHE
COULDN'T GET THE MEDICINE.
SHE GOT A LETTER FROM THE
STATE OF OREGON SAYING THEY
WOULD NOT PAY FOR
CHEMOTHERAPY, BUT THEY WOULD
PAY FOR HOSPICE ARE
PHYSICIAN-ASSISTED SUICIDE.
Pat: IN OREGON, THEY
SAID WE'LL HELP YOU KILL
YOURSELF.
IN A LETTER.
Pat: IN A LETTER?
SOMEBODY SIGNED IT?
ABSOLUTELY.
SHE APPEALED IT TWICE, AND
GOT DENIED TWICE.
THERE IS AN AMAZING VIDEO
WHERE SHE IS SITTING, LOOKS
LIKE IN HER KITCHEN, READY
TO GO WALK HER DOG AND MAKE
COOKIES.
GOVERNMENT COMPASSION SOUNDS
SO NOBLE, BUT IN THE END,
WHOEVER PAYS HOLDS THE POWER
TO CHOICE.
Pat: THE AUDIENCE MUST
BE ABSOLUTELY HORRIFIED AT
THIS.
A GOVERNMENT AGENT TELLS
THIS 64-YEAR-OLD LADY WHO
LIKES TO BAKE COOKIES.
YOU'VE GOT CANCER.
WE CAN'T AFFORD TO GIVE YOU
UP TO DATE TREATMENT, BUT
WE'LL GIVE YOU ENOUGH MONEY
TO GET YOURSELF KILLED.
WOW!
THAT'S LIKE THE NAZIS.
THEY HAD REPLACED HER
CHANCE TO LIVE WITH A CHOICE
OF HOW TO DIE.
BECAUSE THEY HAD RUN OUT OF
MONEY.
AND I DEAL WITH THIS IN THE
BOOK.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU TRUST
GOVERNMENT -- GOVERNMENT
COMPASSION SOUNDS NOBLE.
WE'RE ONE OF THE MOST
COMPASSIONATE NATIONS ON
EARTH.
WE ALL WANT OUR FELLOW
AMERICAN TO HAVE ACCESS TO
CARE.
BUT THE GOVERNMENT HAS
LIMITED RESOURCES.
AND WE'RE $16 TRILLION IN
DEBT.
AND I GO THROUGH AND I
COMPLAIN HOW THIS
POST-MODERN WORLD VIEW
STARTS TO REVALUE THE
INDIVIDUAL.
ESPECIALLY INFANTS BORN WITH
DISABILITIES, AND SENIORS
ARE GIVEN INTRINSICALLY LESS
WORTH THAN THOSE THAT
ARE, QUOTE,"PRODUCTIVE" TO
SOCIETY.
Pat: SO THESE ARE
USELESS EATERS UNDER THE
POST-MODERN --
SOMETIMES THEY USE THE
PHRASE "LIVES THAT ARE NOT
WORTH LIVING."
IT COMES BACK FROM BACK IN
THE NAZI ERA.
Pat: LET'S GO TO
OBAMACARE.
THAT HAS BEEN FOUGHT OVER.
AND NANCY PELOSI SAYS WE
HAVE TO PASS THE BILL SO WE
CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT'S IN
IT.
THAT IS ONE OF THE MOST
INSANE STATEMENTS BY A
SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE.
LET'S PASS IT SO WERE CAN
UNDERSTAND WHAT IT WILL DO.
YOU'RE A DOCTOR.
HOW WILL IT AFFECT YOUR
RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR
PATIENTS OF WHAT YOU CAN AND
CAN'T DO.
IT FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGES
THE PATIENT-PHYSICIAN
RELATIONSHIP.
THAT'S THE FUNDAMENTAL
CHANGE.
IT WAS PREDICTABLE.
I WROTE ABOUT IT BEFORE IT
HAPPENED.
WHEN THE PHYSICIAN BECOMES
AN EMPLOYEE OF THE STATE,
NOW THEY HAVE A FINANCIAL
INTEREST TO LOOK OUT FOR THE
FINANCIAL INTEREST OF THE
STATE, NOT THE WELL-BEING OF
THE INDIVIDUAL CITIZEN.
THAT'S REFLECTED IN THE
STORY OF BARBARA WAGNER.
Pat: SO THE MOST COSTLY
TREATMENT IS SOMETHING THAT
YOU PROBABLY WOULDN'T
PRESCRIBE BECAUSE IT WILL
COST THE STATE MONEY AND
YOU'LL LOSE MONEY IT.
THAT'S ESSENTIALLY THE
WAY IT WILL BE SET UP.
THE PHYSICIANS WON'T BE
REIMBURSED TO OFFER THE
TREATMENTS THAT ARE MORE
EXPENSIVE.
THIS FALLS MOSTLY TO
SENIORS.
Pat: WILL THIS DIMINISH
THE NUMBER OF PHYSICIANS
AVAILABLE?
ABSOLUTELY.
THERE IS A RECENT SURVEY
THAT SUGGESTS THAT 43% OF
PHYSICIANS ARE LOOKING TO
LEAVE MEDICINE BECAUSE OF
THIS LEGISLATION.
Pat: WHY WOULD THEY
LEAVE?
BECAUSE IT FUNDAMENTALLY
CHANGES HOW WE THINK, HOW WE
PRACTICE.
THERE IS FAR MORE CONCERN
ABOUT DO WE CHECK THE RIGHT
BOXES.
IS THE CHART PERFECT.
THAT'S THE CONCERN OF THE
CURRENT SYSTEM THAT WE'RE
MOVING INTO.
IF YOU MISS ANYTHING,
PHYSICIANS CAN BE SEVERELY,
SEVERELY PUNISHED.
Pat: GIVE ME AN
EXAMPLE.
THERE IS THE RECOVERY ON
A CONTRACTOR.
WHERE THE INDEPENDENT
CONTRACTORS GO IN AND GO
THROUGH PHYSICIAN RECORDS,
MOSTLY FOR PATIENTS ON
MEDICARE.
IF THERE IS ANY
DOCUMENTATION ERROR, THAT
PHYSICIAN HAS TO ESSENTIALLY
PAY THAT MONEY BACK.
AND SOMETIMES THAT CAN
AMOUNT TO HUNDREDS OF
THOUSANDS TO MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS, PUTTING PHYSICIANS
OUT OF BUSINESS.
Pat: AND NO INSURANCE
FOR THAT.
YOU CAN'T ENSURE AGAINST
THAT?
NO.
NO.
AND ACTUALLY IT GETS WORSE
THAN THAT.
WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO
EXPLAIN.
Pat: MY SHOCK LEVEL IS
GOING UP.
I'VE GOT TIME TO GET SHOCKED
SOME MORE.
WHAT?
OKAY.
LET'S GO TO A SLIGHTLY
DIFFERENT PIECE.
I TALKED ABOUT THE YOUNG AND
THE OLD.
THERE IS A BOOK I READ --
THIS IS BACK IN 1990s,
RE-THINKING LIFE AND DEATH,
WRITTEN BY PETER SINGER,
FROM PRINCETON, UNIVERSITY.
HE SAYS WE SHOULD REEXAM
HUMAN LIFE, AND WE DON'T
CONSIDER INFANTS TOTALLY
HUMAN UNTIL FIVE WEEKS OF
AGE.
SO IF YOU'RE BORN WITH A
DISABILITY, YOU CAN BE
KILLED.
THIS IS REMOVING THE
DISABLED AND THE ELDERLY --
Pat: HE TEACHES AT
PRINCETON?
HE IS STILL THERE.
Pat: WHY DON'T THEY
FIRE HIM.
YOU CAN KILL A CHILD AFTER
FIVE WEEKS, BECAUSE HE
DIDN'T LOOK LIKE HE IS
HEALTHY -- THAT'S MURDER.
THAT IS INFANTCIDE.
Pat: IT IS OKAY TO
PETER SINGER.
IT IS RECOMMENDED BECAUSE
IT IS MORE EFFICIENT.
WE CAN TAKE ALL OF THE
DOLLARS WE SAVED BY NOT
TREATING KIDS WITH
DISABILITIES, AND TRANSFER
THEM TO KIDS THAT ARE MORE
MORE GIFTED.
WE LOOK OUT FOR SOCIETY --
Pat: UNBELIEVABLE.
A VAST MAJORITY OF HEALTH
CARE DOLLARS GO TO PEOPLE
OVER 70.
AND THAT'S WHEN THE
HEALTH CARE SYSTEM IS REALLY
NEEDED, WHEN YOU START TO
HAVE FAILING HEALTH, WHICH
GENERALLY COMES AT THE END
OF LIFE.
THE GOOD NEWS HERE IS THERE
ARE SOLUTIONS.
UNDER THE PATIENT PROTECTION
AND AFFORDABLE CARE ACT,
OBAMACARE, THE CONGRESSIONAL
OFFICE SAYS THEY'RE GOING TO
BE CUTTING $17 BILLION, AND
IN ADDITION TO THAT, THERE
IS ANOTHER $290 BILLION.
IT'S ABOUT A TRILLION CUT.
BUT WE CAN START TO FIX THAT
SYSTEM, AND I LAID THAT OUT
IN MY POLICY PAPER "CUTTING
THE GORDION KNOT."
IT CAN SAFE 3- TO
$4 BILLION.
AND I CAN USE THAT TO START
TO STABILIZE MEDICARE FOR
SENIORS.
Pat: THE DEMOCRATS
DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT
MALPRACTICE INSURANCE.
I HAPPENED TO RUN INTO ONE
ON AN AIRPLANE.
I THINK HE SAID HIS PREMIUMS
FOR INSURANCE WERE SOMETHING
LIKE $3 MILLION A YEAR.
THAT'S UNBELIEVABLE.
HOW CAN YOU PRACTICE
MEDICINE AND PAY THAT KIND
OF PREMIUM?
THAT MUST HAVE BEEN FOR A
GROUP OR HOSPITAL POLICY,
AND NOT FOR AN INDIVIDUAL
PHYSICIAN.
BUT IT CAN BE ASTRONOMICAL.
BUT THAT'S ANOTHER WAY.
AND ESSENTIALLY IN THE PAPER
I OUTLINED 17 IDEAS, AND
TORT REFORM IS ONE OF THE
17.
Pat: CAN WE REIN IN THE
COST OF MEDICINE?
ABSOLUTELY.
AND THERE ARE TWO WAYS TO DO
IT.
THIS REFLECTS THOSE TWO
WORLD VIEWS.
YOU CAN EITHER GO WITH THE
WORLD VIEW OF PETER SINGER
AND DR. MANUEL AND PATIENT
AFFORDABLE CARE ACT, AND
THROUGH A BUREAUCRATIC
OPTION LIMIT ACCESS TO
CARE.
I DON'T LIKE THAT CHOICE.
THE OTHER CHOICE IS TO MAKE
THE SYSTEM MORE EFFICIENT,
THROUGH TORT REFORM, THROUGH
DIRECT PHYSICIAN PAY
SYSTEMS.
I WAS DOING A TOWNHALL DOWN
IN NORTH CAROLINA, AND ONE
OF THE PHYSICIANS THERE
DIDN'T TAKE MEDICARE,
MEDICAID, OR INSURANCE.
HE TRIPLED HIS EFFICIENCY.
THE AVERAGE FAMILY PRACTICE
PHYSICIAN NEEDS BETWEEN FOUR
AND FIVE EMPLOYEES TO DEAL
WITH ALL OF THE PAPERWORK
FOR EVERY ONE PHYSICIAN.
HE IS ABLE TO ABLE TO HIRE
THREE PHYSICIANS FOR EVERY
ONE EMPLOYEE, BY GETTING RID
OF ALL OF THE BUREAUCRATIC
OVERSIGHT.
HE CAN SPEND MORE TIME WITH
HIS PATIENTS AND HAVE BETTER
OUTCOMES.
HE IS HAPPIER, AND HIS
PATIENTS ARE HAPPIER, BY
GETTING RID OF THE
BUREAUCRATIC --
Pat: WHAT ABOUT
BUREAUCRATIC PANEL THAT
DECIDES WHETHER PEOPLE CAN
GET CARE OR NOT CARE.
IT IS IN THE BILL.
IT IS SECTION 3403.
IT IS A SECTION CALLED THE
IPAD, THE INDEPENDENT
PAYMENT ADVISOR BOARD.
THIS IS ONE OF THE WORST IN
THE BILL.
Pat: I'M GLAD I POINTED
THAT OUT.
THERE ARE 15 INDEPENDENT
EXPERTS, AND THEIR JOB IS
TASKED SPECIFICALLY, QUOTE,"
IT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS
SECTION TO REDUCE THE PER
CAPITA RATE OF GROWTH OF
MEDICARE SPENDING."
IT STUCK IN MY HEAD.
BUT HIS PANEL WILL START TO
LIMIT ACCESS TO CARE FOR
SENIORS.
THAT'S THEIR JOB.
AND WHAT'S THE WORST PART
ABOUT IT IS THEY'RE GIVEN
LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY ABOVE
CONGRESS.
Pat: WHO APPOINTS
THEM?
THE PRESIDENT APPOINTS
THEM?
THE PRESIDENT APPOINTS
THEM FOR SIX YEARS.
Pat: WITH NO OVERSIGHT
BY CONGRESS?
NO OVERSIGHT BY
CONGRESS.
NO OVERSIGHT BY THE JUDICIAL
SYSTEM OR BY THE EXECUTIVE
BRANCH.
IT IS TRULY THE WORST -- I
WOULD EXPECT THAT IN STALIN
IST RUSSIA.
I OFTEN SAY I CAN'T BELIEVE
THIS IS HAPPENING IN
AMERICA.
BUT THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN
WE SET ASIDE A WORLD VIEW,
THE CONCEPT OF A FIXED
TRUTH, WITH A RULE OF LAW.
WHERE WE THE PEOPLE GRANT
POWER TO GOVERNMENT.
GOVERNMENT DOES NOT GRANT
LIBERTY TO WE THE PEOPLE.
Pat: DR. GREY, I'M
TELLING YOU, HE HAS ALL OF
THESE PAPERS HERE,
PHYSICIANS REFORM,
CONSULTING THE GORDION
KNOT.
PATIENT-CENTERED FISCAL
RESPONSIBLE APPROACHES, AND
THE BOOK IS "THE BATTLE FOR
AMERICA'S SOUL."
IT'S HEAVY READING, BUT IT'S
VERY INTERESTING.
SO IT IS AVAILABLE.
IT IS AVAILABLE THROUGH
MY NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS
physicianforreform.org AND
THERE IS ALSO A D.V.D. THEY
CAN ORDER WITH THIS.
Pat: AND YOU CAN GO TO
cbn.com AND YOU CAN PICK IT
UP.
IF THAT DOESN'T SCARE THE
DAY LIGHTS OUT OF YOU, I
DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL.
DR. GREY, THANK YOU SO
MUCH.
GOD BLESS YOU.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
HAVING ME.
Pat: TERRY, ARE YOU
HORRIFIED?
Terry: I'M PROPERLY
HORRIFIED.
IT BOGGLES THE MIND, DOESN'T
IT?
COMING UP, A 21-YEAR-OLD
GETS A SHOCKING DIAGNOSIS.
THE DOCTOR LOOKED AT ME
AND SAID AFTER THEIR
EXTENSIVE RESEARCH AND THEIR
WORK, THAT THEY SAID I HAVE
A.L.S.
IT WAS A SHOCK WHEN I FIRST
HEARD IT.
IT WAS THE FIRST TIME I EVER
SAW MY GRANDFATHER CRY.
Terry: HE IS GIVEN TWO
YEARS TO LIVE, BUT YOU'LL
SEE HOW HE DEFIES DEATH, AND
THAT'S NEXT.
Terry: EVERY BIRTHDAY
IS NOTHING SHORT OF A
MIRACLE FOR CHARLES GOOD
MAN.
AT JUST 21 YEARS OLD, HE WAS
TOLD THAT EVERY DREAM HE HAD
FOR THE FUTURE WAS
IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE HE HAD
LOU GEHRIG'S DISEASE.
MY PARENTS STRUGGLED WITH
DRUG, AND AT 14 MONTHS, I
WAS ADOPTED BY MY
GRANDPARENTS.
I GREW UP IN A VERY
FAITH-DRIVEN HOME.
I KNEW THE WORLD OF GOD.
I WENT TO DUDLEY HIGH
SCHOOL, IN NORTH CAROLINA,
AND PLAYED SOME SPORTS.
ACTUALLY ONE A STATE
CHAMPIONSHIP IN 1966.
AND I GOT A FULL SCHOLARSHIP
IN 1997.
MY WHOLE LIFE I WANTED TO BE
A LAWYER.
I WANTED TO BE BE A PUBLIC
DEFENDER AND PERHAPS PARLAY
THAT INTO A LIFE OF
POLITICS.
IT WAS IN MY SENIOR YEAR, AS
I WAS PREPARING TO GET READY
TO GO TO LAW SCHOOL, I HAD
EVERYTHING TOGETHER.
I KNEW I WAS GOING TO BE
THIS GREAT LAWYER.
I STARTED TO EXPERIENCE SOME
NUMBNESS IN HIGH HANDS.
I ASSUMED IT WAS SOME TYPE
OF CARPAL TUNNEL.
I DID A LOT.
I WENT TO A DOCTOR, AND
AFTER A COUPLE OF BATTERIES
OF TESTS AND SEEING A FEW
DOCTORS, I BEGAN TO GET THIS
DIAGNOSIS.
I SAT IN THERE WITH MY
GRANDFATHER AND MY MOTHER.
THE DOCTOR LOOKED AT ME AND
SAID AFTER THEIR EXTENSIVE
RESEARCH AND THEIR WORK,
THAT THEY SAID THAT I HAVE
A.L.S.
THE DOCTOR TOLD ME THAT I
HAD TWO YEARS TO LIVE.
IT WAS A SHOCK WHEN I FIRST
HEARD IT.
THE FIRST TIME I EVER SAW MY
GRANDFATHER CRY.
THERE I WAS, 21 YEARS OLD,
2001, AND IT SEEMED LIKE MY
DREAMS WERE DASHED.
THE THINGS THAT I WANTED TO
DO IN MY LIFE.
FRIENDS WERE CALLING ME AND
TELLING ME LET IT GO, LET GO
OF SCHOOL.
BUT THERE IS SOMETHING
INSIDE OF ME THAT SAID THIS
COULDN'T BE BE IT.
I MADE UP MY MIND THAT
EVENING I WOULD GO BACK TO
SCHOOL.
WAKE FOREST WAS ABOUT 25
MINUTES FROM GREENSBORO.
IT WAS ABOUT 4:00 IN THE
MORNING, AT McDONALD'S,
AND WE SAT THERE AND I HAD
TEARS EN MY EYES BECAUSE I
STILL WAS TRYING TO DEAL
WITH THIS NEWS.
HE BEGAN TO PRAY WITH ME,
AND HE SAID I REALLY BELIEVE
THIS IS GOD CONFIRMING A
CALL ON YOUR LIFE.
WHEN I MADE IT TO MY ROOM ON
THAT EVENING, I SAID THIS TO
GOD, I SAID, GOD, IF IT BE
JUST TWO YEARS, I'LL GIVE IT
TO YOU.
I KNEW THERE WAS SOME KIND
OF CALLING IN MY LIFE.
MY GRANDPARENTS HAVE
PICTURES OF ME PREACHING IN
THE VACUUM CLEANER.
THE PASSION AND PURPOSE GOT
RENEWED IN MY LIFE.
I GOT TO EMERY, GOT INTO THE
SEMINARY, BUT DIDN'T GET
INTO THE LAW SCHOOL.
I RECOGNIZED IT WAS GOD JUST
ORDERING MY STEPS.
YOU'VE GOT TO UNDERSTAND,
THE PROCESS FOR ME TO GET MY
MASTERS AND DEMOCRATIC
MASTERS AND MY DOCTORATE, I
COULDN'T WRITE.
I HAD TO HAVE A NOTE TAKER.
HERE I AM 11 YEARS AFTER THE
FACT, AND THE DOCTORS SAID
IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE TWO
YEARS.
GOD HAS BEEN MORE THAN
FAITHFUL.
I WAS ABLE TO PASTOR TWO
CHURCHES, I'VE BEEN ABLE TO
COMPLETE MY MASTER'S OF
DIVINITY AND A DOCTORATE
DEGREE.
MY SCHEDULE NOW IS CRAZY.
FROM PASTORING A
CONGREGATION THAT EXCEEDS
3700, TO TRAVELLING
THROUGHOUT THIS COUNTRY
PREACHING THE WORD OF GOD.
THE REASON I'M SO PASSIONATE
IS I BELIEVE MY LIFE IS
BECAUSE OF THE PROMISE I
MADE TO GOD.
I DON'T EVEN HAVE TO TAKE
HEAVY MEDICATION.
JUST TO WAKE UP ANOTHER DAY
MEANS THERE IS HOPE.
TO BE ABLE TO PROGRESS AND
MOVE WHEN OTHERS SAID I
WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO BE HERE,
IS HOPE.
I MAY WAKE UP WITH SOME SORT
OF SIGH EFFECTS, BUT I DO
NOT ALLOW THE SIDE EFFECTS
TO STOP ME FROM PROGRESSING.
I'M JUST THANKFUL FOR ANY
DAY BECAUSE THAT'S A LOT
MORE THAN DOCTORS GAVE ME.
GOD ULTIMATELY IS A GOD OF
HOPE, A GOD OF PEACE, AND A
GOD OF JOY.
Terry: AMAZING
ATTITUDE, BUT UNBELIEVABLE
SITUATION.
Pat: LOU GEHRIG'S
DISEASE, THERE IS JUST NO
HEALING FOR IT.
THAT IS A MIRACLE.
IT IS THE MOST AWFUL
DISEASE, AND IT GOES ON AND
ON, AND THE PEOPLE, BEFORE
LONG, CAN'T DO ANYTHING.
THAT IS A MIRACLE OF GOD.
Terry: IT REALLY,
REALLY IS A MIRACLE OF GOD.
THIS IS DAVID, WHO LIVES IN
STATIN ISLAND, NEW YORK.
HE SUFFERED FROM A FRACTURED
KNEE.
IT WAS PAINFUL AND SO
SWOLLEN, HE COULDN'T BEND IT
OR WALK ON IT.
THE DOCTORS OFFERED HIM PAIN
MEDICATIONS BY INJECTION.
HE WAS WATCHING THIS
PROGRAM.
PAT, YOU SAID, YOU TWISTED
YOUR KNEE SOMEHOW AND YOU
HAVE A GREAT DEAL OF PAIN.
PUT YOUR HAND ON YOUR KNEE,
AND YOU'LL FEEL WARMTH.
IN THE NAME OF JESUS, YOU
ARE HEALED.
AS DAVID RECEIVED THAT WORD,
HE HEARD A CRACKING SOUND.
IMMEDIATELY THE PAIN AND
SWELLING WENT AWAY.
AND HE WAS ABLE TO WALK AND
HE DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO TAKE
THE PAIN MEDICATIONS
ANYMORE.
THAT'S A MIRACLE.
Pat: TERRY, I STAND
AMAZED AT THE POWER OF GOD
AND THE LOVE OF GOD.
BETTY, WHO LIVED IN MERRITT,
MISSISSIPPI, WAS DIAGNOSED
WITH C.O.P.D. -- THAT'S THE
COMMERCIAL WITH THE ELEPHANT
SITTING ON THE GUY'S CHEST.
I WOULDN'T LIKE AN ELEPHANT
SITTING ON ME.
ANYWAY, BETTY HAD THE
ELEPHANT ON HER.
SHE SAID SHE FELT LIKE
SOMEBODY WAS SITTING ON HER
CHEST.
THIS LAST MONTH SHE WAS
WATCHING THE PROGRAM, AND
YOU HAD THIS WORD OF
KNOWLEDGE, "THERE IS SOME
KIND OF LUNG CONDITION -- I
DON'T KNOW THE NAME OF IT --
BUT GOD IS HEALING YOU RIGHT
NOW.
TAKE A DEEP BREATH.
YOU HAVE BEEN HEALED."
BETTY FELT A TINGLING IN HER
CHEST, AND THE PRESSURE
LEFT, AND PRAISE GOD, SHE IS
HEALED.
MERRITT, MISSISSIPPI.
IT IS GREAT.
Terry: LET'S PRAY.
Pat: YOU WANT TO DO
THAT?
Terry: I WANT TO DO
THAT.
I THINK THERE ARE LOTS OF
PEOPLE WHO HAVE NEEDS, AND
WE HOPE THAT THE THINGS THAT
HAVE BEEN SHARED WILL
ENCOURAGE YOU TO BELIEVE --
Pat: FOLKS, LET ME TELL
YOU THIS: GOD PUT THE
GALAXIES IN SPACE.
THERE ARE A MILLION TRILLION
STARS IN THE HEAVENS, AND HE
PUT THEM ALL THERE AND HE
KNOWS THEM ALL BY NAME.
HE KNOWS YOU BY NAME.
HE KNOWS WHO YOU ARE, WHERE
YOU LIVE, AND WHAT'S WRONG
WITH YOU.
AND HE LOVES YOU.
AND HE IS WAITING FOR YOU TO
OPEN YOUR HEART TO HIM AND
RECEIVE WHAT HE WANTS TO
GIVE YOU.
DON'T FIGHT IT.
JUST SAY, LORD, I RECEIVE,
AND TAKE IT AND BE BLESSED.
TERRY AND I WILL JOIN HANDS
TOGETHER RIGHT NOW.
WE'RE GOING TO BELIEVE GOD
FOR YOU.
FATHER, IN THE NAME OF
JESUS -- THERE IS A LEFT
LUNG, A COLLAPSED LEFT LUNG
RIGHT NOW, PUT YOUR HAND ON
YOUR CHEST.
IN THE NAME OF JESUS, THAT
LUNG IS FILLED WITH AIR AND
IS HEALED IN JESUS' NAME.
TERRY?
Terry: THERE IS SOMEONE
ELSE, YOU HAVE A CHRONIC
SINUS CONDITION.
THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG
WITH THE STRUCTURE OF YOUR
SINUSES.
GOD IS HEALING THAT FOR YOU
RIGHT NOW.
YOU'LL BEGIN TO FEEL ALMOST
LIKE A BUZZING IN YOUR SINUS
CAVITY, IN YOUR FACE, AROUND
THE ORBIT OF YOUR EYES.
GOD IS HEALING YOU.
Pat: THERE IS A MAN --
YOU'VE GOT WHAT IS CALLED
URINARY IN CO CON
CONTINANCE, AND GOD IS
HEALING YOU.
YOU ARE HEALED IN THE NAME
OF JESUS.
Terry: THERE IS
SOMEBODY ELSE, YOU HAVE SOME
KIND OF A CONDITION WERE YOU
YOUR SPINE, AND WHATEVER
THAT IS AFFECTS YOUR
STOMACH.
IT IS ALL VERY
LIFE-INTERRUPTING.
GOD IS HEALING THAT.
YOUR FOOD WILL DIGEST
PROPERLY, AND YOU'LL BE ABLE
TO STAND PROPERLY, AND THERE
WILL BE NO MORE PAINS FOR
YOU.
Pat: YOU HAVE A THYROID
CONDITION.
RIGHT NOW PUT YOUR HAND ON
YOUR THROAT IN THE NAME OF
JESUS BE MADE WHOLE.
Terry: SOMEONE ELSE,
YOU HAVE SOME LYMPH GLANDS
THAT ARE SWOLLEN.
AND YOU HAVEN'T EVEN BEEN TO
THE DOCTOR BECAUSE YOU'RE
FEARFUL OF IT.
BUT GOD IS THEALG THAT
HEALING THAT RIGHT NOW.
Pat: GOD, BLESS THE
PEOPLE.
APPEAR TO THEM, AND SHOW
THEM YOUR LOVE IN THE NAME
OF JESUS.
AMEN.
WHEREVER YOU ARE, PRAISE THE
LORD.
WILL YOU PLEASE PRAISE HIM?
WILL YOU GIVE HIM THANKS.
IF YOU NEED MORE PRAYER,
SOMEBODY TO PRAY WITH YOU,
PICK UP THE PHONE.
WE'VE GOT FOLKS ON THE
PHONE.
THEY LOVE YOU.
MANY OF THEM HAVE HAD THE
SAME CONDITION YOU'VE HAD.
THEY'VE HAD HEALINGS.
THEY'VE HAD MIRACLES OF GOD,
AND THEY BELIEVE GOD.
SO PICK UP THE PHONE.
IT IS A TOLL-FREE NUMBER.
YOU CAN CALL RIGHT NOW.
GOD HEARS AND GOD ANSWERS.
TERRY?
Terry: STILL AHEAD, A
MAN FORCES HIS GIRLFRIEND TO
GET AN ABORTION AND THEN HE
REGRETS IT.
I GOT THIS DARK VISION OF
MINE.
I COULD SEE MYSELF WITH A
GUN.
AND BASICALLY I TOOK A GUN
AND PUT THE GUN TO A BABY'S
HEAD, AND I COULD HEAR THE
EXPLOSION TAKE PLACE, AND
THAT'S WHEN EVERYTHING JUST
HIT ME FULL FORCE, YOU JUST
TOOK A LIFE.
Terry: WATCH WHAT
HAPPENS NEXT.
THAT'S LATER ON TODAY'S "700
CLUB."
Reporter: WELCOME BACK
TO WASHINGTON FOR THIS CBN
NEWS BREAK.
A FEDERAL JUDGE HAS
DISMISSED WHEATON COLLEGE'S
LAWSUIT AGAINST THE OBAMA
ADMINISTRATION'S HEALTH CARE
MANDATE.
THE MANDATE REQUIRES
RELIGIOUS GROUPS TO PROVIDE
CONTRACEPTION COVERAGE IN
THEIR HEALTH INSURANCE
PLANS.
THE GOVERNMENT THREW OUT THE
SUIT AFTER THEY OFFERED AN
EXEMPTION TO THE COLLEGES.
THAT GIVES THEM ONE YEAR TO
COMPLY.
TEENS WHO USE POT COULD PAY
FOR IT LATER IN LIFE.
A NEW STUDY SUGGESTS
TEENAGERS WHO ROUTINELY
SMOKE MARIJUANA SUFFER A
LONG-TERM DROP IN I.Q.
PARTICIPANTS OVER THE AGE OF
18 DID NOT HAVE THE SAME
I.Q. DIP.
POT IS THE MOST POPULAR
ILLEGAL DRUG WORLDWIDE.
23% OF HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
IN THE U.S. SAY THEY HAVE
RECENTLY SMOKED MARIJUANA.
REMEMBER, YOU CAN ALWAYS GET
THE LATEST FROM CBN NEWS BY

PAT AND TERRY WILL BE BACK
WITH MORE OF "700 CLUB"
RIGHT AFTER THIS.
Terry: MAURICE HUFF WAS
RELIEVED WHEN HIS GIRLFRIEND
HAD HAD AN ABORTION.
HE FELT AS IF HE WAS OFF THE
HOOK BECAUSE HE DIDN'T WANT
TO MARRY HER.
THEN THE MOTHER OF HIS CHILD
TOLD HIM SOMETHING THAT
CHANGED EVERYTHING FOR HIM.
THE BABY SHE HAD ABORTED WAS
A BOY.
WHEN SHE GAVE ME AN
ULTIMATUM, THE ULTIMATUM WAS
EITHER WE GET MARRIED OR SHE
WAS GOING TO HAVE AN
ABORTION.
MY DECISION WAS THAT I WAS
NOT GOING TO GET MARRIED.
Reporter: MORE THAN
ANYTHING, MAURICE HUFF
WANTED TO BE A TEACHER.
AFTER HIGH SCHOOL, HE
ENLISTED IN THE AIR FORCE TO
PAY FOR COLLEGE.
BUT AN ANNOUNCEMENT FROM HIS
GIRLFRIEND JE JEOPARDIZED
HIS PLANS.
SHE WAS PREGNANT.
SHE BACKED ME INTO A
CORNER.
I FELT CONFUSED AND ANGRY.
Reporter: MAURICE WAS A
CHRISTIAN AND HE KNEW
ABORTION WAS WRONG.
ONCE I WAS FACED WITH
THAT DECISION, WITH MARRIAGE
HANGING OVER MY HEAD, I
LOOKED AT ABORTION WAS MY
ONLY WAY OUT.
Reporter: SO HE AND HIS
GIRLFRIEND WENT TO THE
CLINIC, AND THE ABORTION WAS
PERFORMED.
FOR A WHILE, MAURICE WAS
RELIEVED, THEN HIS
GIRLFRIEND SAID SOMETHING
THAT LEFT HIM STUNNED.
SHE SAID THE CHILD WOULD
HAVE BEEN A BOY.
AND THAT REALLY HIT HOME
HARD.
WHEN SHE SAID THE CHILD
WOULD HAVE BEEN A BOY.
I THINK THAT'S WHEN, FOR THE
FIRST TIME THROUGH THIS
WHOLE ORDEAL, I REALLY
STARTED THINKING OF THIS NOT
JUST BEING AN ABORTION, BUT
REALLY BEING A LIFE.
THEN ALL OF THESE THINGS
STARTED GOING THROUGH MY
MIND. I COULD HAVE HAD A
SON.
Reporter: AND WHEN HE
GOT HOME, HE HAD A VISION.
I GOT THIS DARK VISION OF
MINE.
I COULD SEE MYSELF WITH A
GUN.
AND BASICALLY I TOOK A GUN
AND PUT THE GUN TO A BABY'S
HEAD.
I COULD FEEL THE EXPLOSION
TAKE PLACE.
THAT'S WHEN EVERYTHING JUST
HIT ME FULL FORCE.
YOU JUST TOOK A LIFE.
I FELT WORTHLESS.
I FELT, LIKE, YOU KNOW, YOU
TOOK A LIFE.
SO WHY SHOULD YOU BE
LIVING.
YOU DON'T DESERVE TO LIVE.
Reporter: HE AND HIS
GIRLFRIEND EVENTUALLY BROKE
UP, BUT THE GUILT STILL
HAUNTED HIM DAILY.
THE EMPTINESS THAT I
FELT, I WOULDN'T WISH IT ON
ANYONE.
IT WAS JUST A TOTAL EMPTY
FEELING.
SAD, GUT GUT-WRENCHING
FEELING.
MORE THAN ANYTHING IT WAS
TREMENDOUS, TREMENDOUS
GUILT.
Reporter: MAURICE GREW
TIRED OF DAYS FILLED WITH
ANXIETY AND SLEEPLESS
NIGHTS.
SO HE RETURNED TO THE ONE
PLACE WHERE HE EXPERIENCED
PEACE, HIS FAITH IN CHRIST.
I WAS READING SCRIPTURES
ABOUT FORGIVENESS,
SCRIPTURES ABOUT
RESTORATION, SCRIPTURES
ABOUT HEALING.
THE MORE I READ THE BIBLE,
THE BETTER I WAS BEGINNING
TO FEEL.
YOU KNOW, A LOT OF THE GUILT
WAS BEGINNING TO LIFT.
I WAS GETTING A BETTER
UNDERSTANDING OF GOD'S
FORGIVENESS, BUT I STILL HAD
HAD NOT FORGIVEN MYSELF
COMPLETELY.
Reporter: ONE DAY WHILE
HE WAS WATCHING "THE 700
CLUB," TERRY TALKED ABOUT
USING WRITING TO HELP IN THE
HEALING PROCESS.
MAURICE DECIDED TO GIVE IT A
TRY.
EACH DAY I WOULD BEGIN TO
SORT OF WRITE MY THOUGHTS
ABOUT THE ABORTION, WHAT
HAPPENED.
AND THE MORE I BEGAN TO
WRITE, THE BETTER I WAS
FEELING.
ONE NIGHT I WAS SLEEPING AND
IT WAS PROBABLY ABOUT 3:00
IN THE MORNING.
I JUST WAS AWAKENED WITH A
WHOLE STORY LINE FOR A
BOOK.
AND SO I JUMPED OUT OF BED
AND JUST STARTED WRITING A
WHOLE STORY RELATED TO THIS
ABORTION.
Reporter: MAURICE
EVENTUALLY WROTE TWO BOOKS:
"THE CHOICE THAT HAUNTS
FOREVER," AND "THE CHOICE
THAT NO LONGER HAUNTS."
HE IS NOW HAPPILY MARRIED
AND HAS TWO CHILDREN.
HE SAYS HE IS THANKFUL FOR
GOD'S FORGIVENESS.
THAT'S THE AWESOMENESS OF
GOD.
IS THAT NO MATTER WHAT WE
DO, GOD IS A GOD OF MERCY
AND HE'S A GOD OF
FORGIVENESS.
EVEN IF YOU MAKE THIS
MISTAKE, YOU DON'T HAVE TO
WALLOW IN GUILT.
ASK GOD FOR FORGIVENESS, AND
GOD WILL GRANT YOU
FORGIVENESS.
Terry: GOD IS THE GOD
OF MERCY AND GRACE.
HE LOVES US SO MUCH.
HE'S GOT A PLAN AND A
PURPOSE.
IF WE JUST WOULD LISTEN, AND
LET HIM LOVE US AND LOVE HIM
IN RETURN, WHAT HEARTACHE WE
WOULD SAVE OURSELVES.
TODAY YOU MAY FIND YOURSELF
IN A SCENARIO THAT WAS NOT
THE PLAN THAT YOU HAD.
DOING THE RIGHT THING WILL
GET YOU TO THE RIGHT PLACE.
IF YOU NEED TO KNOW WHAT
GOD'S WORD HAS TO SAY, OR IF
YOU FIND YOURSELF ALONE AND
YOU'VE GOT A PREGNANCY, WE'D
LOVE TO SEND YOU THIS
BOOKLET.
IT'S CALLED "YOU'RE NOT
ALONE."
ASK GOD THE RIGHT THING TO
DO.
OUR NUMBER IS TOLL-FREE,
IT'S 1-800-759-0700.
JUST SAY I'D LIKE THE
"YOU'RE NOT ALONE"
PAMPHLET.
AND WE'LL GET IT OUT TO YOU,
FREE OF CHARGE, BY THE WAY.
Pat: STILL AHEAD, YOUR
E-MAIL QUESTIONS.
HOPE WANTS TO KNOW ARE EVIL
SPIRITS OMNI PRESENT AND
WHEN THEY TEMPT YOU, ARE YOU
THE ONLY PERSON IN THE WORLD
THEY'RE TEMPTING?
WE'LL GIVE A SHOT AT HOPE'S
QUESTION AND GIVE AN ANSWER
WHEN WE COME BACK.
GUATEMALA, WE MET A BOY
WHO HAD TO CARRY SOMETHING
ELSE TO CLASS, A BUCKET OF
WATER.
Reporter: VERY EARLY
EVERY MORNING, 11-YEAR-OLD
BERTO AND HIS
FATHER TAKE A
TEDIOUS ONE-HOUR TREK UP A
MOUNTAIN TO COLLECT
WATER.
AND COMING DOWN THE MOUNTAIN
WITH BUCKETS FULL OF WATER
CAN BE EVEN MORE TRICKY.
ONCE WE WENT UP TO GET
WATER AND I DROPPED MY
BUCKET.
WE HAD TO CLIMB UP AGAIN.
Reporter: BUT BERTO AND
HIS DAD DON'T JUST GET WATER
FOR THEMSELVES.
THEY SHARE A BUCKET WITH
BERTO'S SCHOOL, WHICH HAS
MORE THAN 100 STUDENTS AND
NO FRESH WATER SUPPLY.
ONCE I DRANK FROM THE
WATER AT SCHOOL AND MY
STOMACH BEGAN TO HURT.
AND THE DOCTOR SAID THAT IT
WAS CAUSED BY THE DIRTY
WATER I USED TO DRINK AT
SCHOOL.
Reporter: SO "OPERATION
BLESSING" DECIDED TO DIG A
WELL RIGHT ON THE GROUNDS OF
THE NEIGHBOURHOOD SCHOOL.
AND WE EVEN PROVIDED THE
CHILDREN WITH AN ELECTRIC
PUMP, SINKS, AND FAUCETS, SO
THEY CAN HAVE EASY ACCESS TO
CLEAN WATER.
THAT MEANS NO MORE TRIPS TO
THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN FOR
BERTO.
NOW THAT I DON'T HAVE TO
GO UP THE MOUNTAIN TO GET
WATER, I GET UP A LITTLE
LATER, I EAT A BETTER
BREAKFAST, AND I FINISH MY
HOMEWORK ON TIME.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO ALL
OF YOU WHO GAVE US THE
WATER.
Pat: WHEW!
THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT GIVING
A CUP OF COLD WATER.
WE HAVE DUG THOUSANDS OF
WELLS TO IMPOVERISHED
VILLAGES ALL OVER THE
WORLD.
A LITTLE FRESH WATER MAKES
ALL OF THE DIFFERENCE.
IF YOU WANT TO PARTICIPATE,
WE DO INVITE YOU TO JOIN OUR
"700 CLUB."
IT IS JUST 65 CENTS A DAY.
AND WHEN YOU DO, I WANT TO
GIVE YOU, AS MY BLESSING TO
YOU, "THE THREE BLESSINGS."
THE THREE THINGS THAT I'VE
ASKED GOD FOR, LIKE LIFETIME
PRAYER REQUESTS.
IT WILL OPEN YOUR EYES AND
BLESS YOU.
WE'VE GOT A SHORT PERIOD OF
TIME FOR E-MAIL.
LET'S GO.
Terry: OUR FIRST E-MAIL
QUESTION IS FROM HOPE WHO
SAYS, "ARE EVIL SPIRITS OMNI
PRESENT.
WHEN THEY TEMPT YOU, ARE YOU
THE ONLY PERSON IN THE WORLD
THAT THEY'RE TEMPTING?"
Pat: A DEVIL TOOK A
THIRD OF THE ANGELS,
ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE, OUT
OF HEAVEN.
HOW MANY THAT IS, I DON'T
KNOW.
SEVERAL HUNDRED MILLION -- I
DON'T KNOW.
BUT THERE'S A BUNCH OF
THEM.
THEY ARE HIS ARMY, AND
THEY'RE THROUGHOUT THE
WORLD.
BUT EACH LITTLE DEMON ISN'T,
QUOTE,"OMNI PRESENT."
EACH DEMON IS WORKING ON
SOME SPECIFIC ASSIGNMENT.
SO WHEN YOU'RE TEMPTED, THAT
DEMON IS WORKING ON YOU.
NOW, HIS BUDDIES AROUND THE
WORLD MAY BE DOING THE SAME
THING TO MILLIONS OF OTHER
PEOPLE, BUT THAT TEMPTING IS
COMING.
AND SO WHEN YOU SPEAK, YOU
NEED TO BIND SATAN -- BIND
SATAN, WHO IS THE HEAD OF
ALL OF THEM, AND THE FORCES
OF EVIL, AND YOU BIND THEM
ALL.
Terry: THIS IS FROM
KERI WHO SAYS, "MY
18-YEAR-OLD SON IS LAZY,
IRRESPONSIBLE, SENSITIVE,
AND HAS A TERRIBLE WORK
ETHIC.
WHILE MANY BOYS HIS AGE ARE
PREPARING FOR COLLEGE OR
WORKING, HE SITS HOME AND
COULD CARE LESS ABOUT
SCHOOL.
SINCE HE LIVES WITH HIS
FATHER AND ONLY VISITS ME
OCCASIONALLY, I DON'T KNOW
HOW TO INSTILL A SENSE OF
RESPONSIBILITY IN HIM.
WHAT SHOULD I DO?"
Pat: GET HIM IN THE
ARMY.
Terry: I THINK HE DOES
HAVE TO SIGN UP FOR THAT,
THOUGH.
Pat: TALK YOUR HUSBAND
INTO SIGNING HIM UP.
Terry: HE IS DOING A
GREAT DISSERVICE TO HIM,
REALLY.
THAT WILL AFFECT EVERY AREA
OF HIS LIFE.
Pat: HE WILL BE A
NO-GOOD BUM.
AND IF THE FATHER IS LETTING
HIM GET AWAY WITH IT --
MAYBE HE THINKS IS PARENTAL
LOVE OR SOMETIMES HE DOESN'T
CARE.
Terry: SOMETIMES IT IS
THE EASY WAY OUT.
Pat: DAD GOES TO WORK
AND THE KID STAYS HOME AND
VEGETATES.
ALL I CAN SAY IS YOU'RE
PREPARING THAT CHILD TO BE
DESTROYED DURING LATER IN
LIFE.
BECAUSE NOBODY IS GOING TO
HIRE HIM.
HE CAN'T KEEP A JOB.
ALL RIGHT, WHAT ELSE?
Terry: THIS IS FROM A
VIEWER WHO SAYS, "MY HUSBAND
AND I JUST FOUND OUT THAT MY
STEPSON JUST GOT HIS
GIRLFRIEND PREGNANT.
HE LIVES WITH HIS MOM.
WE JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT TO
SAY."
Pat: YOU OUGHT TO PUT
YOUR ARM AROUND HIM AND TELL
HIM HE IS NOT THE FIRST ONE
WHO HAS DONE THAT.
TELL HIM THERE ARE CERTAIN
CHOICES, AND ADOPTION IS A
GOOD ONE, WITH A CHRISTIAN
HOME.
Terry: SHE DOESN'T SAY
HOW OLD HE IS, WHICH MAKES A
LITTLE BIT OF DIFFERENCE.
Pat: GRANTED, IF HE IS
14, IT IS DIFFERENT THAN IF
HE IS 20.
I DON'T KNOW.
BUT SOMETIMES TWO MISTAKES
DON'T ADD UP TO A GOOD
DECISION.
SO HE MAKES ONE WRONG
DECISION, AND THEN YOU GET
HIM INTO A BAD MARRIAGE AND
HE IS WORSE OFF.
TOMORROW, OUR "VOICE OF
HOPE" SERIES FOR SINGLES
CONTINUES.
TODAY WE LEAVE YOU WITH
THESE WORDS FROM PSALM: "FOR
YOU, LORD, ARE GOOD AND
READY TO FORGIVE AND
ABUNDANT IN MERCY TO ALL
THOSE WHO CALL UPON YOU."
WE'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW.
GOD BLESS YOU.
