EARTHQUAKE, TSUNAMIS,
HURRICANES --
Reporter: THERE IS NO
SHORTAGE OF THINGS THAT
COULD GO WRONG.
WE COULD HAVE AN ECONOMIC
COLLAPSE, WE COULD HAVE
TERRORIST ATTACKS.
Reporter: THE QUESTION
IS, ARE YOU READY?
THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WE
SUFFER HERE IN NORTH AMERICA
IS COMPLACENCY.
Reporter: WE'LL SHOW
YOU HOW TO BRACE YOURSELF
FOR DOOM'S DAY.
AND
WHY
YOU'LL NEED MORE
THAN JUST CANNED FOOD AND
BOTTLED WATER.

[APPLAUSE]
Pat: WELL, WELCOME,
FOLKS, TO THIS EDITION OF
"THE 700 CLUB."
ONCE AGAIN, THE ARAB SPRING
IS TURNING INTO A DEADLY
NIGHTMARE.
NOW THE UNITED STATES
AMBASSADOR TO LIBYA IS
DEAD.
AFTER ANGRY MUSLIMS STORMED
THE AMERICAN EMBASSY IN
BENGHAZI.
A MOB ATTACKED THE
EMBASSY IN EGYPT AS WELL,
AND U.S. OFFICIALS FEAR MORE
VIOLENCE COULD BE COMING.
EPHRAIM GRAHAM HAS A LOOK A
THE ATTACKS AND WHAT IS
BEHIND THEM.
Reporter: A DEADLY DAY
ACROSS NORTH AFRICA AS ANGRY
MUSLIM MOBS TOOK TO THE
STREETS.
AND LIBYAN PROTESTORS KILLED
CHRIS STEVENS AND THREE
OTHER AMERICANS AT THE
CONSULATE THERE.
IT ALL STARTED IN EGYPT,
WHERE PROTESTORS SCALED THE
WALLS IN CAIRO AND TORE UP
THE AMERICAN FLAG.
THEY WERE ANGRY ABOUT A FILM
PRODUCED IN THE U.S.
PROTESTORS REPLACED THE
AMERICAN FLAG WITH A BLACK
FLAG WITH AN ISLAMIC
DESCRIPTION.
IT SAYS, QUOTE,"THERE IS NO
GOD BY ALLAH, AND MOHAMMED
IS HIS PROPHET."
WE ARE OBVIOUSLY WORKING
WITH EGYPTIAN SECURITY TO
TRY TO RESTORE ORDER AT THE
AM SEE, AN -- EMBASSY, AND
TO WORK WITH THEM TO TRY TO
GET THE SITUATION UNDER
CONTROL.
Reporter: TODAY THE
AMERICAN EMBASSY IN EGYPT
SAYS THEIR PEOPLE ARE ALL
SAFE AND ACCOUNTED FOR, BUT
THE SITUATION IS FAR FROM
UNDER CONTROL.
SHORTLY AFTER VIOLENCE
ERUPTED IN EGYPT, OFFICIALS
RECEIVED REPORTS OF A NEW
ATTACK IN BENGHAZI, LIBYA.
THEY FIRED WEAPONS AND
ROCKET-PROPELLED GRENADES.
HILLARY CLINTON SAID IN A
STATEMENT "THE UNITED STATES
DEPLORES ANY ATTEMPTS TO
DENIGRATE THE RELIGIOUS
BELIEFS OF OTHERS.
LET ME BE CLEAR, THERE IS
NEVER ANY JUSTIFICATION FOR
VIOLENT ACTS OF THIS KIND."
THE
RESPONSIBLE FOR
THE
ANTI-MUSLIM MOVIE IS IN
HIDING TODAY.
HE SAYS HIS FILM IS INTENDED
TO BE A POLITICAL STATEMENT
CONDEMNING ISLAM.
A RADICAL ISLAMIC GROUP
CLAIMED RESPONSIBILITY FOR
THE ATTACKS.
LOCAL MEDIA ESTIMATED ABOUT
2,000 PEOPLE PARTICIPATED IN
THE EGYPTIAN PROTESTS.
EPHRAIM GRAHAM, CBN NEWS.
Pat: YOU WONDER WHAT IT
IS IN THESE MUSLIMS THAT
CAUSES THEM TO GO CRAZY
BECAUSE SOMEBODY SAYS
SOMETHING ABOUT MOHAMMED,
MOST OF WHICH HAPPENS TO BE
TRUE.
HE TOOK HIS FAVORITE WIFE
WHEN SHE WAS EIGHT OR NINE
YEARS OLD, AND HE WAS 53,
AND HE BEGAN HAVING SEXUAL
ACTIONS WITH THAT 8 OR
9-YEAR-OLD CHILD.
WE CALL THAT PEDOPHILE.
HE HAD A NUMBER OF WIVES,
AND THIS MOVIE SHOWED HIM
HAVING SEXUAL INTERCOURSE
WITH ONE OF MORE OF HIS
WIVES.
MOHAMMED WAS VERY FRANK
ABOUT WHAT HE DID AND WHAT
HE DIDN'T DO, AND YOU READ
SOME OF THE WRITINGS OF
MOHAMMED AND WHAT HE HAD TO
SAY, AND IT IS ALL IN
THERE.
BUT HE SEEMED TO -- MUSLIMS
CAN HAVE FOUR WIVES, AND HE
PROBABLY HAD MORE THAN HIS
QUOTA, BUT, NEVERTHELESS,
WHY DO THEY RIOT?
WHY DO THEY KILL PEOPLE?
WAS IT ABOUT THIS RELIGION
THAT MAKES THEM SO TERRIBLY
OFFENSIVE?
THE REASON THEY'RE SO
DEFENSIVE IS BECAUSE THEY
CAN'T PROVE WHAT THEY
BELIEVE.
WHAT DO YOU THINK, IF A MAN
IS 53 YEARS OLD AND STARTS
HAVING SEX WITH AN
8-YEAR-OLD.
WELL, IT VIOLATES ALL OF
THE DIFFERENT STANDARDS.
WHEN I WAS WATCHING ALL OF
THE NEWS, THE THING THAT
BOTHERED ME THE MOST, WHEN
THERE WERE SO MANY THINGS
GOING ON IN LIBYA, WE SENT
OUR TROOPS OVER THERE TO
PROTECT THEM.
AND HOW QUICKLY PEOPLE
FORGET HOW YOU'RE
RETAILIATEING AGAINST US.
Pat: GOOD THINKING.
YEAH, THEY DON'T APPRECIATE
WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
THERE WAS AN ARTICLE TODAY
ABOUT SHOULD WE HAVE A
PRESENCE IN THE MIDDLE
EAST?
WE OBVIOUSLY HAVE TO PROTECT
THE OIL, WE HAVE TO PROTECT
THE SUEZ CANAL, AND WE HAVE
TO PROTECT THE TRADE ROUTES,
AND IT IS A VERY IMPORTANT
PART OF THE WORLD.
BUT I'LL TELL YOU, ISHMAL,
THE BIBLE SAYS, WAS LIKE A
WILD DONKEY.
AND APPARENTLY THAT SPIRIT
HAS PERVADED THESE PEOPLE,
AND IT'S JUST CRAZY.
BUT THEY DO IT.
ONE MS. UNIVERSE CONTEST,
AND THEY GO CRAZY.
ONE CARTOON ABOUT MOHAMMED
AND THEY GO CRAZY.
MAYBE SANITY WILL BE
RESTORED ONE DAY, BUT IT
WON'T BE ANY TIME SOON.
LEE WEBB HAS THE REST OF OUR
TOP STORIES FROM THE CBN
NEWS.
LEE?
Lee: THE WHITE HOUSE
DENIES REPORTS THAT
PRESIDENT OBAMA FAILED TO
MEET WITH BENJAMIN
NETANYAHU.
THE ISRAEL PAPER REPORTED
THAT NETANYAHU WANTED THE
MEETING, BUT THE
ADMINISTRATION SAYS THE TWO
WILL NOT BE IN THE CITY AT
THE SAME TIME.
THE WHITE HOUSE SAYS THE
PRESIDENT DID PHONE
NETANYAHU TO TALK ABOUT
IRAN.
MEANWHILE, NETANYAHU HAS
CRITICIZED WASHINGTON'S
REFUSAL TO GIVE DETAILS OF
WHAT WOULD PROVOKE A U.S.LED
MILITARY STRIKE AGAINST
IRANIAN NUCLEAR FACILITIES.
HE SAYS GIVING THEM
DEADLINES IS
COUNTER-PRODUCTIFF.
COUNTER-PRODUCTIVE.
THEY SAY WAIT, THERE IS
STILL TIME.
AND I SAY, WAIT UNTIL WHAT?
WAIT UNTIL WHEN?
THOSE IN THE INTERNATIONAL
COMMUNITY WHO REFUSE TO PUT
RED LINES BEFORE IRAN DON'T
HAVE A MORAL RIGHT TO PLACE
A RED LINE BEFORE ISRAEL.
Lee: THIS WILL BE THE
FIRST TIME PRIME MINISTER
NETANYAHU PRASTLES TO
TRAVELS TO THE U.S. WITHOUT
SEEING THE PRESIDENT.
PAT, THAT IS THE $64,000
QUESTION: WAIT FOR WHAT?
Pat: VERY BRILLIANTLY
SAID BY NETANYAHU.
THESE GUYS AREN'T FOOLISH,
AND THEY DO KNOW AN ELECTION
IS COMING UP, AND THEY DO
KNOW THE JEWISH COMMUNITY.
WE UNDERSTAND, AND WE DID A
STORY ON IT YESTERDAY, THE
NUMBER OF AMERICANS WHO LIVE
IN ISRAEL, WHO ARE VERY PRO
ISRAELI, AND WHO DO NOT LIKE
THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION.
SO THEY'RE GOING TO BE A
SOLID BLOCK VOTING
REPUBLICAN.
AND WAS NETANYAHU TRYING TO
SEND A SIGNAL TO THE JEWISH
PEOPLE, THE AMERICANS?
IT IS HARD TO SAY.
BUT THEIR ROMANCE WITH THE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY, WHICH GOES
BACK TO FRANKLIN ROOS VELTD,
IS GETTING SERIOUSLY FRAYED
BY THE ACTIONS OF THIS
ADMINISTRATION.
Lee: MOODY'S SAYS IT
WILL LIKELY CUT THE U.S.
CREDIT RATING IF NEGOTIATORS
CANNOT REACH A DEAL.
IF CONGRESS DOES NOT MAKE A
DEAL, AUTOMATIC SPENDING
CUTS WILL BE KICK IN.
AND MANY ECONOMISTS WARN IT
COULD LEAD TO ANOTHER
RECESSION AND DRIVE UP THE
UNEMPLOYMENT RATE.
THE NATION'S THIRD LARGEST
SCHOOL DISTRICT REMAINS
CLOSED TODAY.
TEACHERS IN CHICAGO ARE ON
STRIKE OVER MAYOR RON
EMMANUEL'S EVALUATION.
THE UNION SAYS IT IS UNFAIR
TO TEACHERS IN
UNDERPRIVILEGED AND
UNDERPERFORMING SCHOOLS.
THE UNION ALSO WANTS
TEACHERS WHO ARE LAID OFF
AND SCHOOLS CLOSED TO BE THE
FIRST TO BE HIRED BACK WHEN
JOBS OPEN UP IN THAT SCHOOL
DISTRICT.
BUT SCHOOL PRINCIPALS SAY
THA COULD FORCE THEM TO
BRING BACK UNQUALIFIED
TEACHERS.
THE UNION SAYS THERE WILL BE
NO RESOLUTION UNTIL THEY
AGREE ON ALL 50 PROVISIONS.
THEY MAKE AN AVERAGE OF
76,000 DOLLARS A YEAR.
AND 47% OF THE CITY'S VOTERS
SUPPORT THE TEACHERS'
UNION.
39% ARE AGAINST THE STRIKE.
PAT?
Pat: YOU KNOW, IT IS AN
AMAZING THING.
I THINK THE NUMBER I'VE SEEN
IS AT LEAST 60% OF THE
TEACHERS IN CHICAGO SEND
THEIR CHILDREN TO PRIVATE
SCHOOLS BECAUSE THEY REALIZE
HOW BAD THE SCHOOL SYSTEM
IS.
AND WHAT RON EMMANUEL IS
TRYING TO DO IS GET SOME
KIND OF DISCIPLINE AND ORDER
AND REGULATION INTO THIS.
I'M NOT IN FAVOR OF TEACHING
TO A TEST.
I THINK THAT'S WRONG.
I THINK TO RUN A SCHOOL
SYSTEM, TO TEACH YOUR
CHILDREN TO PASS A TEST IS
NOT A SUCCESSFUL WAY.
IT IS WRONG.
BUT, NEVERTHELESS, THE TEST
SCORES OF STUDENTS, THE
ACHIEVEMENTS OF STUDENTS ARE
INDICIA OF THE TEACHING.
AND THE IDEA YOU HAVE TO
FORCE BACK HIRING
INCOMPETENT TEACHERS BECAUSE
THEY'RE FIRST BY
SENIORITY -- PUBLIC SERVICE
UNIONS ARE WRONG.
THEY'RE WRONG FOR AMERICA.
THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE BE
PUBLIC SERVANTS, AND THEY
CANNOT HAVE UNIONS THAT
MITIGATE AGAINST THE WELFARE
OF THE COMMUNITY.
THIS IS A FIGHT, AND IT
COULD CARRY DOWN TO THE
ELECTIONS.
WE TALKED ABOUT ONE ELECTION
HOT SPOT, WHICH WILL BE
ISRAEL, AND THIS IS THE
SECOND ELECTION HOT SPOT
BECAUSE IF THE UNIONS TURN
AGAINST OBAMA, OR IF HE
COMES OUT AND DOES SOMETHING
UNPOPULAR, IT IS GOING TO BE
VERY BAD.
BUT HE'S BEING BLAMED FOR IT
BECAUSE RON EMMANUEL WAS HIS
GUY.
WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
BUT THESE PEOPLE WERE PRETTY
WELL-PAID.
I DON'T WANT TO DENIGRATE
ANY TEACHERS, BUT $76,000 A
YEAR IS A GOOD SALARY.
I THINK IT IS A GOOD
SALARY, BUT NOW I'M GOING TO
BE FOR THE TEACHERS.
MY BROTHER LIVES OUTSIDE OF
CHICAGO AND WE HAD THIS
CONVERSATION.
WHEN IT COMES TO TEACHERS,
THE VERY HEART AND ESSENCE
OF TEACHERS -- THEY HAVE A
HEART AND LOVE FOR KIDS.
AT THIS PARTICULAR TIME WHEN
THEY KNOW THE KIDS SHOULD BE
IN SCHOOL AND THEY'RE
STRIKING, THEY REALLY ARE
CONVICTED.
THEY HAVE SOME MAJOR
CONVICTIONS OF WHAT IS GOING
ON.
I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT
THE TEACHERS HAVE THEIR
WEALTH AS WELL.
WHAT IS IT, RON EMMANUEL --
Pat: ROM.
MAYBE THE THOUGHT IS HE
IS COMING IN HEAVY HANDED
AND THEY NEED MORE
NEGOTIATION.
WE'RE HAVING A CONVERSATION,
AND SO HE WAS GIVING ME SOME
INSIGHT.
Pat: YOU'RE A SINGLE
MOM?
AND YOU GO TO WORK.
WHAT HAPPENS TO THOSE SINGLE
MOTHERS WHO'S CHILDREN CAN'T
GO TO SCHOOL?
THERE IS A CASCADE OF
CONSEQUENCES.
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH
THAT.
Pat: AND TO STRIKE AT
THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL, IT
IS OUTRAGEOUS.
BUT HASN'T THIS BEEN
GOING ON FOR MONTHS, BUT
THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO
MEET IT?
Pat: BUT THE TEACHERS
SAY THIS IS IT, TAKE IT OR
LEAVE IT, MY WAY OR THE
HIGHWAY?
THE SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS A
RIGHT TO SAY WE DEMAND
QUALITY.
WE WANT YOU TO MEET CERTAIN
STANDARDS, AND TEACHERS
DON'T WANT TO DO THAT, AND
THEY HAVE TO.
WE HAVE TO LOOK AFTER OUR
CHILDREN.
OKAY.
WELL, LEE'S GOT MORE ON
THIS.
SOME GOOD NEWS FROM THE
CHURCHES IN CHICAGO.
LEE?
Lee: CHICAGO CHURCHES
ARE STEPPING UP TO HELP THE
CHILDREN WHO ARE OUT OF
SCHOOL BECAUSE OF THE
STRIKE.
MANY ARE OPENING THEIR DOORS
TO HELP FEED CHILDREN WHO
WOULD NORMALLY EAT THEIR
MEALS AT SCHOOL.
AND SOME CHURCH LEADERS ARE
SPEAKING OUT, CALLING ON
BOTH SIDES TO COME TO AN
AGREEMENT TO GET THE
CHILDREN BACK IN THE
CLASSROOM.
OUR KIDS ARE ALREADY
BEHIND, EVERY DAY THAT
THEY'RE OUT OF SCHOOL,
THEY'RE FALLING DEEPER
BEHIND.
SO I JOIN THIS BODY OF
CLERGY TO LEND VOICE, TO SAY
LET'S GET A DEAL TONIGHT, SO
THAT OUR CHILDREN CAN PURSUE
THEIR DREAMS.
Lee: THE CHICAGO SCHOOL
DISTRICT HAS ASKED
ORGANIZATIONS LIKE CHURCHES
TO PLAN DAY ACTIVITIES TO
KEEP CHILDREN SAFE DURING
THE STRIKE.
A NEW STUDY SHOWS MOST
CHURCH-GOING CHRISTIANS DO
NOT READ THE BIBLE EVERY
DAY.
LIFEWAY RESEARCH FOUND THAT
90% OF CHURCH--GOERS AGREE
WITH THE STATEMENT, "I
DESIRE TO PLEASE AND HONOR
CHILDREN IN ALL I DO."
BUT ONLY 19% READ THE BIBLE
EVERY DAY.
ABOUT 25% READ THE BIBLE A
FEW TIMES A WEEK.
14% SAID THEY READ THE BIBLE
ONCE A WEEK, AND 22% SAID
ONCE A MONTH.
AND 18% RARELY OR NEVER READ
THE BIBLE.
THE APOSTLE PAUL VIEWED
SCRIPTURE AS VITAL TO AA
CHRISTIAN'S GROWTH.
HE WROTE THIS "ALL SCRIPTURE
IS GOD-BREATHED, AND IT IS
USEFUL FOR TEACHING,
CORRECTING AND TRAINING IN
RIGHTEOUSNESS."
STUDENTS ACROSS BRITAIN ARE
BEING WATCHED, EVEN WHILE
THEY'RE IN THE BATHROOM.
MORE THAN 200 HIGH SCHOOLS
HAVE SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS IN
BATHROOMS AND LOCKER ROOMS.
ONE SCHOOL OFFICIAL SAYS THE
CAMERAS ARE NECESSARY TO
CATCH KIDS SMOKING AND
BULLYING IN SCHOOL.
THEY SAY THEY ARE POINTED AT
THE SINKS, NOT INSIDE THE
CUBICALS, AND THEY SAY THE
IMAGES ARE REVIEWED ONLY IF
AN INCIDENT IS REPORTED.
AND THE VIDEO IS DELETED
AFTER 30 DAYS.
CIVIL RIGHTS GROUPS, THOUGH,
CLAIM THE CAMERAS ARE AN
INVASION OF PRIVACY.
Pat: I WOULDN'T WANT A
CAMERA IN MY BATHROOM.
WHO WANTS A CAMERA INTO
THE BATHROOM?
Pat: GOING INTO THE
PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE?
THAT IS ABSURD.
IT IS ABSURD ON SO MANY
LEVELS.
Pat: I'M AN ANGLOPHILE,
BUT I TELL YOU THIS BIG
BROTHER SYNDROME HAS SEIZED
THAT NATION.
THEY'VE GOT CAMERAS CAMERAS
ON EVERY CORNER AND THEY'RE
MONITORING THE LIVES OF
PEOPLE.
SHOUT FREEDOM, FOLKS.
CAST OFF THE YOLK OF
BONDAGE.
FREEDOM IN THE BATHROOM.
WHEN YOU WERE LITTLE, PAT,
WERE YOU IN THE BOY SCOUTS?
Pat: YES.
I WASN'T A VERY GOOD BOY
SCOUT, BUT I WAS IN THEM.
I COULDN'T BUILD A FIRE WITH
TWO MATCHES, AND THAT KEPT
ME FROM MOVING UP IN THE
RANKS.
THAT'S A DRAG.
I WAS NEVER A GIRL SCOUT,
BUT I WAS A BROWNIE.
Pat: AND YOU SOLD
COOKIES?
WE NEVER GOT TO THAT.
I THINK I DROPPED OUT BEFORE
THAT.
Pat: THE BROWNIES SOLD
COOKIES.
I THINK I ONLY DID IT FOR
ABOUT A YEAR.
IF YOU WERE A BOY SCOUT, YOU
KNOW THE MOTTO OF BOY SCOUTS
IS "BE PREPARED."
COMING UP WE'RE GOING TO
MEET PEOPLE WHO TAKE THAT TO
HEART.
YOU WANT TO BE ABLE TO
FEED YOUR FAMILY, FEED YOUR
NEIGHBOR, AND HELP A
FRIEND.
AND WE'LL SHOW YOU WHAT
YOU NEED TO HAVE ON HAND IN
CASE OF AN EMERGENCY.
SO DON'T GO AWAY.
Pat: WHAT IS A
PREPPER?
THEY ARE NOT PEOPLE WHO GO
TO PREP SCHOOLS.
THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE
PREPARING FOR THE ULTIMATE
DISASTER, WHATEVER IT
HAPPENS TO BE.
I WANT TO POINT OUT,
KRISTI --
YES, PAT.
Pat: THAT YOU HAVE IN
YOUR HOME AN ELECTRIC
GENERATOR?
NO.
Pat: YOU'RE NOT
PREPPED.
I'M KIND OF PREPPED.
Pat: WHAT DO YOU DO IF
THE POWER GOES OFF?
I KNOCK ON YOUR DOOR AND
SAY, HEY, PAT, YOU GOT A
GENERATOR?
[LAUGHTER]
Pat: WELL, GAS -- IF
ELECTRICITY GOES OUT -- WE
WERE UP IN THE MOUNTAIN, AND
EVERYTHING WENT OUT.
THAT LAST STORM, IT KNOCKED
OUT EVERYTHING.
PEOPLE OUT IN WEST VIRGINIA
WERE DRIVING ALL THE WAY TO
LEXINGTON, VIRGINIA, TO GET
GAS IN THEIR CARS BECAUSE
THE FILLING STATIONS DIDN'T
HAVE ELECTRICITY.
TRAGEDY, IT CAN HAPPEN TO
US.
SO I WANT TO URGE PEOPLE TO
GET A GENERATOR.
AND GET A GAS-FIRED
GENERATOR.
AND IF YOU COOK WITH GAS, AS
OPPOSED TO ELECTRICITY,
YOU'VE GOT SOMETHING.
A PROPANE TANK OR
SOMETHING.
YOU REMEMBER CHUCK
HOLTON, HE IS PHENOMENAL,
AND HE WILL BE HERE TO TELL
US MORE.
Pat: THE MORE
UNCERTAINTY THERE IS IN OUR
COUNTRY, THE MORE THE RANKS
OF THESE PREPPERS CONTINUES
TO GROW.
CHUCK HAS THAT STORY.
Reporter: WHEN AN
UNEXPECTED SUMMER STORM
KNOCKED OUT POWER IN THE MID
ATLANTIC REGION IN JULY,
MORE THAN 4 MILLION PEOPLE
WENT WITHOUT POWER FOR UP TO
TWO WEEKS.
IN ADDITION, A SEVERE
DROUGHT IS PUTTING A SERIOUS
STRAIN ON THE NATION'S
INFRASTRUCTURE.
COUPLED WITH THE THREAT OF A
CURRENCY COLLAPSE, CIVIL
UNREST OR OTHER NIGHTMARE
SCENARIOS, STOCKING FOR THE
UNEXPECTED IS LOOKING MORE
POPULAR.
A GROWING SEGMENT IS ASKING
THE QUESTION: WHAT HAPPENS
WHEN THE LIGHTS GO OUT FOR
MORE THAN JUST A FEW DAYS?
MANY OF THESE PREPPERS THINK
THE RECORD-SETTING BLACKOUT
COULD BE JUST A FREE VIEW OF
THINGS TO COME.
WE CAN HAVE AN ECONOMIC
COLLAPSE.
WE CAN CAN HAVE TERRORIST
ATTACKS.
WE CAN HAVE SOCIAL UNREST,
NATURAL DISASTER,
EARTHQUAKES, TSUNAMIS,
HURRICANES.
Reporter: KEITH IS A
DIE-HARD PREPPER AND
RECENTLY STARTED A BUSINESS
HELPING OTHER OTHERS OTHERS
GET READY, TOO.
THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WE
SUFFER HERE IN AMERICA IS
COMPLACENCY.
THEY FIGURE SINCE NOTHING
HAS HAPPENED IN SEVERAL
YEARS, NOTHING WILL EVER
HAPPEN.
SURVIVORS ARE SOMETIMES
PORTRAYED AS CRAZIES.
BUT BEING PREPARED IS MORE
POPULAR THAN EVER.
THIS WEEKEND, IN THE
MOUNTAINS OF NORT NORTH
CAROLINA, A COUPLE THOUSAND
PEOPLE GOT TOGETHER TO
DISCUSS THE RISK AND FIND
OUT WHAT THEY CAN DO ABOUT
THEM.
IT IS VERY ENVIRONMENTAL,
VERY GREEN.
IT TAKES US OFF OF FOSSEL
FUELS, AND VERY EASY TO DO.
Reporter: JOEL
HENDERSON IS THE CO-OWNER OF
GREEN GOLD FILTERS, ONE OF
THE VENDORS AT THE PREPPERS
CONVENTION.
HIS MISSION IS HELPING FOLKS
TO ACCOMPLISH SOMETHING THAT
AMERICA HAS BEEN TRYING TO
DO FOR YEARS, RUN A VEHICLE
WITHOUT FOREIGN OIL.
IF ANYBODY HAS A DIESEL
OIL, TRUCK, TRACTOR, YOU CAN
USE COOKING OIL AS AN
ALTERNATIVE DIESEL FUEL.
YOU GO TO THIS LOCAL
RESTAURANT IN NASHVILLE,
INDIAN RESTAURANT, THIS IS
THEIR USED COOKING OIL THEY
WERE THROWING AWAY, AND WE
RAN IT THROUGH OUR FILTER
SYSTEM, AND NOW WE HAVE A
DIESEL FUEL I'LL PUT RIGHT
IN MY TANK.
Reporter: THIS MOVEMENT
IS BEING HELPED WITH NEW
TELEVISION SHOWS.
THE MOST POPULAR IS
"NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC'S
DOOM'S DAY PREPPERS."
IT IS THE HIGHEST RATED
SHOW RIGHT NOW ON NATIONAL
GEOGRAPHIC.
IT IS THE SHOW ABOUT YOUR
AVERAGE AMERICAN FAMILY,
UNIQUE PEOPLE, THAT ARE
PREPPING FOR ANY PROBLEMS.
WHETHER THAT BE AN ECONOMIC
COLLAPSE, TO SOLAR PLANS,
2012.
NO MATTER WHAT IT IS,
THEY'RE GOING TO BE BE
PREPARED.
Reporter: ONE OF THE
CHALLENGES FOR THE SHOW IS
MOST PREPPERS AREN'T EAGER
TO ADVERTISE THEIR
STOCKPILES, BECAUSE IF THE
BOTTOM DROPS OUT, LOOTING
COULD BE A REAL PROBLEM.
WE UNDERSTAND IT COULD BE
A RISK TO PEOPLE, BUT WE DO
RESPECT PEOPLE'S PRIVACY.
ON THE SHOW, WE DON'T HAVE
TO SAY YOUR FIRST NAME OR
LAST NAME.
WE DON'T HAVE TO SAY WHERE
YOU'RE FROM.
WE HAVE EACH PREPPER GIVE A
TAKE AWAY TO OUR VIEWERS SO
THEY CAN LEARN MORE.
Reporter: BUT KEITH
SAYS THE FIRST STEP TO BEING
PREPARED HAS NOTHING TO DOXv
WITH CANNED FOOD OR BOTTLED
WATER.
YOUR FIRST THING IN
PREPAREDNESS FOR ME
PERSONALLY IS YOUR
RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS
CHRIST.
THAT'S THE VERY FIRST
THING.
IF YOU BUILD A SOLID
RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS
CHRIST, THEN AFTER THAT, IF
YOU CAN GET FOOD, WATER
STORED AWAY, A LITTLE SAFE
RETREAT.
IT WILL ALL FALL IN PLACE.
YOU WANT TO BE ABLE TO FEED
YOURSELF, FEED YOUR FAMILY,
HELP A NEIGHBOR, HELP A
FRIEND.
100 YEARS AGO, IT WASN'T
STRANGE FOR PEOPLE TO HAVE
FOOD SUPPLIES IN THEIR
BASEMENT.
BUT THAT HAS CHANGED.
MANY DON'T HAVE ANY FOOD
SUPPLY OR EVEN AN EMERGENCY
KIT.
BUT MAYBE IT IS NOT A BAD
IDEA TO STOCK UP, JUST IN
CASE.
FROM AN UNDISCLOSED LOCATION
IN NORTH CAROLINA, I'M CHUCK
HOLTON FOR CBN NEWS.
Pat: CHUCK, ARE THERE
WITH AUTOMATIC WEAPONS,
READY TO BLOW AWAY THE
INVADERS.
IF THE APOCALYPSE DOESN'T
COME, IT IS PROBABLY A GOOD
IDEA TO HAVE SUPPLIES.
Pat: I READ ABOUT
PEOPLE THAT GET STUCK IN
SNOWSTORMS, AND THE PEOPLE
WHO HAVE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF
PREPARATION SURVIVE AND THE
OTHERS DIE.
THAT'S RIGHT.
IT WILL ALLOW YOU TO STAY
ALIVE ENOUGH TO GET TO
HELP.
ONE OF THE THINGS WE'VE BEEN
TALKING ABOUT IS THE GO
BAG.
YOU SPEND A THIRD OF YOUR
LIFE AT WORK.
KRISTI, IF YOU HAVE TO WALK
HOME IN THOSE SHOES, YOU'D
BE IN TROUBLE.
MAYBE IT WOULDN'T BE A BAD
IDEA TO HAVE SOME SNEAKERS
IN YOUR CAR AND SOME WATER,
A POWER BAR.
THERE IS A WHOLE INDUSTRY
ABOUT PREPPING IN SURVIVAL,
AND THEY HAVE THE NITROGEN
PACKS AND M.R.E.s, BUT YOU
DON'T HAVE TO HAVE
EVERYTHING.
Pat: CAN YOU GET
M.R.E.s --
WHAT IS AN M.R.E.?
MEALS READY TO EAT.
WE SAY MEALS REJECTED BY THE
ENEMY.
Pat: HORRIBLE-TASTING
GARBAGE.
YOU JUST BUY A LITTLE
MORE EVERY TIME YOU GO TO
THE STORE OF WHAT YOU
USUALLY EAT.
GET SOME EXTRA RICE AND
BEANS AND STAPLE FOODS.
GET SOME COFFEE AND BACON.
IF YOU HAD EVERYTHING YOU
NEEDED TO SURVIVE, AND YOU
DIDN'T HAVE BACON AND
COFFEE, WOULD YOU REALLY
CARE?
Pat: BUT HOW LONG WOULD
THIS LAST?
YOU HAVE A 30-DAY SUPPLY?
IT WOULDN'T HURT TO HAVE
30 DAYS.
Pat: IF SOMETHING
REALLY BAD HAPPENED, IT
WOULD BE A LOT LONGER THAN
30 DAYS.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
BUT WE'RE LESS RESILIENT AS
A CHLT CULTURE THAN WE EVER
HAVE BEEN.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO DO THIS.
AND IF YOU DON'T, YOU BECOME
A LIABILITY TO THE SOCIETY.
AS CHRISTIANS, I THINK IT IS
IMPORTANT FOR US TO BE
PREPARED, SO NOT ONLY CAN WE
TAKE CARE OF OUR OWN
FAMILIES, BUT WE CAN HELP
OTHERS.
Pat: BUT WE'RE NOT
GOING TO GO INTO BUNKERS
WITH AUTOMATIC WEAPONS, AND
IF THEY TRY TO TAKE OUR FOOD
WE WILL BE RIGHT BACK.
FOOD, WE'RE GOING TO BLOW
THEM AWAY.
NO, WE'RE NOT.
STAPLES, WATER, BEANS,
MILK --
ONE GALLON PER PERSON PER
DAY.
Pat: I WAS THERE ON THE
MOUNTAIN WHEN EVERYTHING
IT.
DID YOU LOSE POWER?
Pat: DID I EVER.
AND I HAD A 100-KILOWATT
GENERATOR, AND GUESS WHAT?
IT GOT HIT BY LIGHTNING.
OH.
SO WHAT DID YOU DO, PAT?
Pat: SO MY WIFE AND I
ATE BY CANDLELIGHT, AND WE
HAD A GAS STOVE AND WE
COOKED BY GAS AND IT WAS
VERY ROMANTIC.
NINE MONTHS LATER --
DEE DEE IS GOING TO BE
EXPECTING.
WHEN OUR POWER WENT OUT
FOR FOUR DAYS, ONE OF THE
THINGS THAT WE FOUND IS
THAT -- I LIVE IN A LOG
HOME.
WE HAD LOTS OF CANDLES AND
LANTERNS AND STUFF, BUT
THAT'S A FIRE HAZARD.
THESE THINGS ARE ALL OVER
OUR FRONT YARD.
THEY ARE SOLAR LIGHTS THAT
GO ALONG OUR SIDEWALK.
AND WE TOOK THEM INSIDE AND
THE KIDS USED THEM AS
FLASHLIGHTS.
Pat: AND HOW MUCH LIFE
DO THEY HAVE?
THEY'LL GO ALL NIGHT
LONG.
THEY HAVE A COUPLE OF
BATTERIES IN THERE.
THOSE ARE THE THINGS MANY
OF US PUT ON OUR LAWN.
Pat: THIS LITTLE
BABY -- I DON'T HAVE ONE.
THIS IS A REALLY GOOD
IDEA.
BECAUSE IF THE
COMMUNICATIONS GO OUT, YOU
NEED TO HAVE SOME WAY TO
LISTEN TO FIND OUT WHAT IS
GOING ON.
Pat: WHERE DO YOU GET
THESE THINGS?
YOU CAN GET THEM ON THE
INTERNET OR WAL-MART, ALL
OVER THE PLACE.
THIS IS SOLAR-POWERED, AND
YOU CAN CRANK IT IF THERE IS
NO SUN.
YOU CAN POWER IT THAT WAY.
IT HAS A FLASHLIGHT AND
LASER CANNON.
Pat: FOR AN
EMERGENCY --
YOU ARE LIKE TWO LITTLE
BOYS IN A CANDY STORE.
Pat: NO.
WHEN THE POWER GOES OUT, YOU
HAVE TO HAVE SOMETHING
BATTERY-POWERED.
AND MOST PEOPLE -- I DON'T
HAVE ONE.
THAT'S RIGHT.
IT IS NOT A BAD IDEA.
HERE IS SOMETHING
INTERESTING -- THIS IS
COOL.
THIS IS COOL.
HE'S GOING TO TELL YOU.
WE HAD TO CHARGE OUR
PHONES WHEN THE POWER WENT
OUT, AND I HAD JUST BOUGHT
THIS FOR CAMPING.
THIS IS A CAMP STOVE.
IT IS CALLED BIOLIGHT, AND
IT RUNS ON WOOD.
TWIGS.
THE HEAT FROM THE FIRE
CHARGES THE BATTERY, WHICH
THEN WILL CHARGE YOUR CELL
PHONE.
ISN'T THAT AMAZING.
?
WE WERE BACK IN THE
BACKYARD --
Pat: WHERE DO YOU GET
THAT?
ON THE INTERNET.
Pat: WHAT'S THIS BABY?
THIS IS A SOLAR GENERATOR
I BOUGHT AFTER ALL OF THIS
HAPPENED.
IT HAS A SOLAR PANEL HERE.
Pat: I SEE YOU'VE GOT
YOUR GUN, READY TO BLAST
SOMEBODY.
AND THE BATTERY WILL RUN
A LAPTOP, A FAN, AND CHARGE
YOUR PHONE.
Pat: WHERE DO YOU GET
THAT THING?
ON THE INTERNET.
ON THE INTERNET, THAT'S
RIGHT.
AMAZON.CA, $275, OR
SOMETHING.
THIS IS A SOLAR GENERATOR,
AND THERE ARE LOTS OF THEM
OUT THERE.
LAST BUT NOT LEAST, LET'S
TALK ABOUT TWO THINGS:
FUEL -- WHEN THE POWER GOES
OUT, GAS STATIONS CANNOT
PUMP FUEL.
IT WOULDN'T HURT TO HAVE A
FEW GALLONS OF GAS, AND
SECURITY.
THERE WAS LOOTING TAKING
PLACE IN THE TOWN WHERE I
LIVE WITHIN 12 HOURS OF THE
POWER GOING OUT.
Pat: WHAT DO YOU DO,
SHOOT THE LOOTERS.
WELL, YOU NEED TO BE ABLE
TO PROTECT YOUR FAMILY.
I KNOW THAT'S A SENSITIVE
SUBJECT.
Pat: THIS THING RIGHT
HERE IS -- I'M NOT GOING TO
SHOOT YOU.
IT'S A PROP, FOLKS.
IT'S A PROP.
Pat: THIS WOULD BE
ENOUGH TO GET RID OF A
LOOTER.
IT CERTAINLY WOULD SCARE
ME AWAY IF I SAW YOU
CARRYING THAT THING.
Pat: IT'S GOT BULLETS,
AND IF ONE OF THEM HITS YOU,
IT WILL BLOW OVER YOUR
STOMACH.
THE BOTTOM LINE IS, IT IS
IMPORTANT TO BE ABLE TO
PROTECT YOUR FAMILIES AND
DISCOURAGE THE PEOPLE THAT
WOULD TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE
SITUATION.
Pat: WE'RE SUPPOSED TO
BE SPEAKING LOVE, BUT
CHUCK'S A TROUPER.
DID YOU EVER USE ONE OF
THOSE THINGS?
I THINK PROTECTING MY
FAMILY IS THE MOST LOVING
THING I CAN DO FOR THEM.
Pat: REMEMBER MICHAEL
DECAUCUS SAYS IF SOMEBODY
WAS RAPING MY WIFE, I
WOULDN'T GO IN THERE AND
KILL HIM BECAUSE I'M A MAN
OF LOVE.
HE LOST THE ELECTION.
I WOULDN'T VOTE FOR HIM
THEN, EITHER.
Pat: THAT'S WHY THEY
VOTED FOR GEORGE BUSH.
THIS IS FOR GASOLINE.
I LOVE THESE --
THEY'RE REALLY CUTE,
TOO.
LIKE $2 A POP.
Pat: WHAT ARE THEY
CALLED?
SOLAR L.E.D. LIGHTS.
Pat: GET THEM ON THE
INTERNET.
ALL RIGHT, YALE.
Y'ALL, THEY'RE TELLING ME
TO WRAP IT UP.
Pat: THE SURVIVAL OF
AMERICA IS AT STAKE, AND YOU
WANT TO HURRY UP AND GET A
COMMERCIAL.
NO, BUT IT IS LIKE TWO
LITTLE GADGET GUYS.
AS YOU CONTINUE TO TALK
ABOUT THE TRINKETS IN
SURVIVAL, CHECK OUT CHUCK'S
BLOG, CALLED
bootsonthegroundgustanandi
AND IT IS ON CBN.COM.
THEY'RE STILL TALKING.
YES.
Pat: I WANT TO ASK A
QUESTION.
OKAY, PAT, GO.
Pat: YOU'RE JUST
TALKING SO MUCH.
IN AN EMERGENCY, YOU DON'T
LET THE ROME D WOMEN DID
ALL OF THAT TALKING.
WHERE IS THAT GUN -- I'M
JUST KIDDING.
Pat: CHUCK, HAVE YOU
GOT A FACT SHEET ON ALL OF
THIS STUFF.
THERE WAS A FACT SHEET
THAT PAT WASN'TED LISTENING
WHEN I SAID IT, AND IT IS
CALLED "BOOTS ON THE
GROUND," AND IT IS AVAILABLE
ON CBNNEWS.COM.
Pat: CHUCK, YOU'RE
TREMENDOUS, BROTHER.
THANK YOU.
CAN I WRAP IT NOW?
Pat: WRAP WHAT?
CHUCK, IT WAS LOVELY.
YOU GUYS FINISH YOUR G.I.
JOE TALK.
I THOUGHT IT WAS ON A
COOKING SHOW.
Pat: YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO
BE THE WEAKER SEX.
THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT THE
WEAKER, AND HE MEANS WE'RE
SO DELEGATE BUT WE'RE
STRONG.
DON'T MAKE HER MAD.
SHE IS GOING TO START THAT
HEAD SHAKING IN A MINUTE AND
WE'RE IN TROUBLE.
AS THEY CONTINUE TO HAVE
THEIR OWN SHOW, COMING UP,
WE'VE HEARD THE STORY OF
JOHN RAMSEY, BUT THAT WASN'T
THE ONLY DEATH IN THE RAMSEY
FAMILY.
TAKE A LOOK.
IT JUST DIDN'T MAKE
SENSE.
CAR ACCIDENT IN THE MIDDLE
OF THE DAY, JUST A FREAK
ACCIDENT.
SHE AND HER BOYFRIEND WERE
BOTH KILLED.
I REALLY HIT ROCK BOTTOM.
JOHN RAMSEY TELLS US HOW
HE DEALT WITH THE LOSS OF
TWO CHILDREN, UP NEXT.
*
Pat: ONE OF THE MOST
TRAGIC FAMILIES IN AMERICA,
PARENTS TO THE SWEET LITTLE
GIRL, JONBENET, WHO WAS
BRUTALLY RAISED AN RAPED
AND KILLED, AND YET THEY
WERE BLAMED FOR HURTING
THEIR OWN CHILD.
AND ON DECEMBER THE 25th,
THE BODY OF JONBENET RAMSEY
WAS FOUND IN THE BASEMENT OF
HER HOME.
SHE HAD A NYLON CORD WRAPPED
AROUND HER NECK, DUCT TAPE
COVERING HER SWEET LITTLE
MOUTH.
AND SHE HAD A FRACTURED
SKULL.
HER PARENTS, JOHN AND PATSY
RAMSEY, WERE THE MAIN
SUSPECTS IN THE
INVESTIGATION.
IT WAS A BOTCHED
INVESTIGATION BY PEOPLE WHO
WERE, FRANKLY, INCOMPETENT.
AND THE RAMSEYS WERE
EVENTUALLY CLEARED OF ANY
WRONG-DOING, BUT THEY HAD TO
BEAR NOT ONLY THE GRIEF OF
LOSING THEIR CHILD TO THE
APROBIUM THAT CAME ABOUT
BECAUSE OF THIS
INVESTIGATION.
JOHN RAMSEY TOLD SCOTT ROSS
HE NEEDED MORE THAN A LETTER
FROM THE D.A. TO END HIS
SUFFERING.
Reporter: JONBENET
RAMSEY'S SLAYING REMAINS ONE
OF THE MOST HIGH-PROFILE
UNSOLVED MURDER CASES.
TODAY SHE WOULD BE 22.
HER FATHER, JOHN RAMSEY,
STILL WAITS FOR HER KILLER
TO BE FOUND.
IT IS A HORRIFIC CRIME.
THE MURDER OF A CHILD IS
BEYOND ANY PERSON'S NORMAL
COMPREHENSION.
Reporter: IN THE 15
YEARS SINCE JONBENET'S
BRUTAL MURDER, ONE MEDIA
EXPERT NOTED THAT THE STILL
UNSOLVED SLAYING OF THE
BEAUTY QUEEN INITIATED ONE
OF THE FOULEST, YELLOWEST
CHAPTERS IN AMERICAN
JOURNALISM.
YOU WILL PILLERATED BY
THE PRESS AND THE
AUTHORITIES AND BY THE
WORLD.
THE POLICE ALWAYS LOOK AT
THE PARENTS FIRST, AND WE
ACCEPTED THAT AND JUST
ASSUMED THEY WOULD COMPLETE
THAT CYCLE AND MOVE ON,
WHICH, OF COURSE, THEY DID
NOT.
BUT, YOU KNOW, IT DIDN'T
MATTER REALLY.
WHAT MATTERED WAS WE LOST
OUR CHILD.
THAT WAS THE CRUSHING BLOW.
THE REST OF IT WAS, LIKE,
WHATEVER.
WE JUST ACCEPTED IT.
IT WASN'T -- WE WOULD HAVE
GIVEN EVERYTHING TO HAVE OUR
CHILD BACK.
Reporter: JONBENET'S
MURDER WASN'T THE ONLY
TRAGEDY HER FATHER, JOHN
RAMSEY, SUFFERED.
OVER A 14-YEAR SPAN HE LOST
HIS OLDEST DAUGHTER, BETH,
WHO WAS KILLED IN A CAR
ACCIDENT.
LITTLE JONBENET, AND THEN
HIS WIFE, PATSY, JUST 49 TO
CANCER.
PATSY NEVER LIVED TO SEE
THEIR FAMILY PUBLICLY
EXONERATED AS SUSPECTS IN
JONBENET'S SLAYING.
Reporter: HOW LONG DID
YOU HAVE TO LIVE WITH THIS,
AS THE TERM WAS COINED AT
THE TIME, THE UMBRELLA OF
SUSPICION.
WE WERE OFFICIALLY
CLEARED AND APOLOGIZED TO BY
THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY IN
2008, SO THAT WAS 12 YEARS.
Reporter: MARY LACEY,
BOULDER'S NEW DISTRICT
ATTORNEY, SAID THEY CLEARED
THE FAMILY OF JONBENET'S
MURDER.
"THIS D.N.A.PROFILE BELONGS
TO THE PER TRADER.
THE CONDITIONS IN THIS CASE
CREATED AN ONGOING HELL FOR
JONBENET RAMSEY AND HIS
FAMILY, WE DICTATE THAT THE
RAMSEYS BE TREATED ONLY AS
VICTIMS OF THIS SERIOUS
CRIME."
I DON'T VIEW IT AS A
LET'S GO OUT AND CELEBRATE.
IT WAS JUST ANOTHER STEP IN
THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
BUT THE INTERESTING THING
WAS, OF COURSE, THAT THE
MEDIA WAS OUT TO LYNCH US.
THE INDIVIDUAL PEOPLE WERE
WONDERFUL TO US.
IT REALLY OPENED MY EYES TO
HOW COMPASSIONATE PEOPLE CAN
BE, AND HOW IMPORTANT THAT
IS.
WE CERTAINLY SAW EVIDENCE
AND EXAMPLES OF HOW GOD
TAKES THINGS AND TURNS THEM
FOR GOOD.
AND, YOU KNOW, I GOT A
LETTER FROM A LADY SEVERAL
YEARS AGO THAT SAID I WAS
CONTEMPLATING SUICIDE, AND I
DECIDED IF YOU COULD HANDLE
YOUR PROBLEMS, I COULD
CERTAINLY HANDLE MINE.
Reporter: IN TIME,
JOHN'S GRIEF GAVE WAY TO
HAPPY MEMORIES OF HIS
DAUGHTER.
I STILL, OF COURSE, THINK
OF JONBENET AS A SWEET
LITTLE 6-YEAR-OLD.
Reporter: JOHN, A "NEW
YORK TIMES" BEST-SELLING
AUTHOR HAS WRITTEN ANOTHER
BOOK, "THE OTHER SIDE OF
SUFFERING," TO ENCOURAGE
PEOPLE BROKEN BY TRAGEDY OR
INJUSTICE.
HE SAYS THE DEATH OF HIS
OLDEST DAUGHTER, BETH, IN
1992, WAS THE BEGINNING OF
HIS FAITH JOURNEY.
THE FIRST WORDS OUT OF MY
MOUTH AS I HUNG UP THE PHONE
THAT MORNING, THERE IS NO
GOD.
I SCREAMED, THERE IS NO
GOD.
BECAUSE IT JUST DIDN'T MAKE
SENSE.
A CAR ACCIDENT IN THE MIDDLE
OF THE DAY.
A FREAK ACCIDENT.
SHE AND HER BOYFRIEND WERE
BOTH KILLED.
I REALLY HIT ROCK BOTTOM.
AND PRIOR TO THAT TIME, I
WAS A CULTURAL TIME.
I WAS A CHRISTIAN BECAUSE I
WAS BORN IN A CHRISTIAN
HOME.
AND THAT'S WHAT YOU DID ON
SUNDAYS.
I DIDN'T REALLY GET IT.
DIDN'T REALLY UNDERSTAND
IT.
SOME GOOD FRIENDS CAME
ALONGSIDE ME, ONE IN
PARTICULAR TOOK ME ASIDE AND
SAID, JOHN, I'VE BEEN
PRAYING FOR YOU.
I WANT TO SPEND TIME WITH
YOU.
TAUGHT ME HOW TO STUDY THE
BIBLE.
SO MY FAITH HAD REALLY
GROWN.
Reporter: WHAT DO YOU
UNDERSTAND NOW ABOUT GOD AND
JESUS?
THAT YOU DIDN'T KNOW BACK
THEN?
JESUS IS REAL.
HE IS WHO HE SAID HE IS.
I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT.
I CAN COMMUNICATE WITH HIM
IN PRAYER.
HE IS REAL.
SO WHEN JONBENET WAS
MURDERED, I HAD FAITH.
IT WASN'T JUST A LOGICAL
EXERCISE.
IT HAD GONE FROM MY HEAD TO
MY HEART.
SO I KNEW JONBENET WAS
OKAY.
I DIDN'T QUESTION GOD AS TO
WHY THIS HAPPENED.
Reporter: JOHN'S
SUFFERING CONTINUED.
PATSY HAD BEEN HEALED OF
STAGE FOUR OVARIAN CANCER IN
1994, BUT EIGHT YEARS LATER
IT WAS BACK.
2002 PATSY'S CANCER
RETURNS.
SHE HAD, I THINK, THREE
REMISSIONS OVER THE NEXT
THREE OR FOUR YEARS.
AND THEN THE POINT CAME
WHERE I WANTED GOD TO TAKE
HER HOME BECAUSE SHE WAS
SUFFERING SO MUCH.
IT WAS, LIKE, GOD, PLEASE
TAKE HER HOME.
IT IS TIME TO END THIS
SUFFERING AND STRUGGLE.
DEATH BECAME BOTH A SORROW
AND A RELIEF FOR ME, IN A
STRANGE WAY.
WE KNEW WE'D MISS HER
TERRIBLY, BUT I WAS GRATEFUL
THAT SHE WAS NOT SUFFERING
ANYMORE.
Reporter: AS A WIDOWER
AND SINGLE FATHER, JOHN WAS
CHALLENGED BY A FRIEND TO
LIVE AS IF HIS BEST DAYS
WERE AHEAD.
HE SPENT TIME IN INDIA
SERVING LOCAL PASTORS.
YOU JOINED UP WITH WIWIM,
YOUTH WITH A MISSION, TO
BECOME A MISSIONARY TO
INDIA.
IT WAS A WONDERFUL
EXPERIENCE.
IT REALLY MOVED MY SPIRITUAL
JOURNEY ALONG DOUBLE TIME.
Reporter: HE ALSO FELL
IN LOVE WITH AND MARRIED
JAN.
JAN, MY WIFE, GREW UP IN
ETHIOPIA AS A MISSIONARY
KID.
A REAL SOLID BELIEVER, SO
WE'VE HAD A WONDERFUL
MARRIAGE.
AND IT'S BEEN A BLESSING FOR
ME.
AND HELPED ME DO ALL OF THIS
TO VIEW THAT THE BEST DAYS
OF MY LIFE ARE STILL AHEAD
OF ME.
Reporter: THROUGH ALL
OF THIS, JOHN, YOU COULD
HAVE COME OUT ON THE OTHER
SIDE OF IT, AN ANGRY,
BITTER, RESENTFUL MAN, AND
YOU DIDN'T.
NO.
I THINK THERE WERE SEVERAL
FACTORS.
ONE IS WE WERE REALLY
BLESSED BY THE COMPASSION OF
OUR FELLOW MAN.
PEOPLE JUST REACHED OUT TO
US AND CARRIED OUR SPIRITS
AND ENCOURAGED US AND
APOLOGIZED FOR WHAT WAS
BEING SAID AND DONE TO US.
IT REALLY WAS AN UPLIFTING
EXPERIENCE FOR US.
Reporter: THROUGH ALL
OF THIS PROCESS, SUFFERING
IS PART OF THE PACKAGE THAT
JESUS SAYS YOU INHERIT WHEN
YOU EMBRACE HIM.
IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.
I'VE LEARNED THAT PRETTY
MUCH EVERYBODY SUFFERS AT
SOME POINT IN THEIR LIFE.
LIFE IS NOT NECESSARILY
EASY, AND PEOPLE STRUGGLE,
PARTICULARLY NOWADAYS, AND
THAT WAS KIND OF AN
EYE-OPENER FOR ME.
AND THAT IT HAS A BEGINNING
ANN END. ANN-- AND AN END.
AND THAT IS WHAT THE BOOK IS
ABOUT, THAT THERE IS AN END
TO SUFFERING.
IT IS NOT FOREVER.
Pat: THAT IS SO
INSPIRING.
THE APOSTLE PAUL SAID THOSE
WHO LIVE GODLY IN CHRIST
SHALL SUFFER PERSECUTION.
THEY SHALL GO THROUGH
PRESSURES.
AND THE WORD IN GREEK IS
PHILIPSUS, WHICH MEANS
PRESSURE.
TEMPTATIONS, TRIAL,
SUFFERING.
DON'T THINK WHEN YOU COME TO
JESUS IT IS ALL A BED OF
ROSES.
IT IS LIKE THAT SONG, "I
NEVER PROMISED YOU A ROWS
GARDEN."
AND HE DIDN'T PROMISE US
THAT.
HE PROMISED US A CROSS.
BUT THE RAMSEYS HAVE HAD
SOMETHING MORE THAN THAT.
IT IS ALMOST LIKE A CURSE IS
DESCENDED UPON HIM.
I'M SO GLAD HE HAS COME OUT
OF THAT.
WHAT A WONDERFUL MAN.
LOVELY WIFE, STRICKEN BY
CANCER.
SHE WAS A BRIGHT, VIVACIOUS,
YOUNG LADY.
YOU HEAR THEIR STORY AND
IT IS TRAGIC.
JOHN RAMSEY SHARES MORE OF
HIS STORY IN HIS NEW BOOK.
AND THE BOOK IS CALLED "THE
OTHER SIDE OF SUFFERING,"
AND YOU CAN GET A COPY IN
STORES NATIONWIDE.
UP NEXT, WE'RE GOING TO
SWITCH GEARS.
COOKING.
COOKING, RIGHT?
IT'S EASY.
A COLLEGE KID CAN DO IT.
WE'RE GOING TO SHOW YOU HOW
TO HAVE FIVE-STAR COOKING IN
YOUR DORM ROOM.
UP NEXT.
Reporter: WELCOME BACK
TO "THE 700 CLUB."
CHRISTIAN PRISON INMATES IN
CALIFORNIA ARE STUDYING TO
BECOME EVANGELISTS AND
CHURCH PLANNERS AFTER THEY
ARE RELEASED.
ABOUT 900 INMATES IN 18
PRISONS ARE PARTICIPATING IN
THE 3.5 YEAR PROGRAM.
IT IS THE RESULT OF A
PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN WORLD
IMPACT AND PRISON
FELLOWSHIP.
10 MEN GRADUATED FROM THE
PROGRAM LAST YEAR, AND 14
MORE EXPECTED TO GRADUATE
THIS YEAR.
PRISONS IN MICHIGAN,
FLORIDA, AND COLORADO HAVE
ALSO STARTED CLASSES.
NEW COLLEGE STUDENTS
NORMALLY DECIDE WITHIN WEEKS
WHERE THEY WILL SPEND THEIR
TIME IN COLLEGE.
IT CREATES A GREAT
OPPORTUNITY AND A CHALLENGE
FOR COLLEGE MINISTRIES.
SO THEY'RE BUSY WELCOMING
STUDENTS AND PRAYING THEY
MAKE THEIR FAITH LIFE A BIG
PART OF THEIR COLLEGE
EXPERIENCE.
UNIVERSITY CHRISTIAN
FELLOWSHIP AND CAMPUS
CRUSADE ANTICIPATE A RECORD
YEAR FOR MINISTRY.
LAST YEAR THEY SAW MORE THAN
3300 STUDENTS COME TO FAITH
IN CHRIST.
THAT'S AN INCREASE OF 700
FROM THE YEAR BEFORE.
UNIVERSITY STAFFERS AND
VOLUNTEERS OVERSEE ALMOST
900 CHAPTERS NATIONWIDE.
CREW HAS MORE THAN 1700.
MORE THAN 73,000 STUDENTS
ARE INVOLVED IN THAT
MINISTRY.

Kristi: REMEMBER
COLLEGE?
REMEMBER THAT TIME WHEN, I
DON'T KNOW, FOR MOST COLLEGE
STUDENTS THE CLOSEST THINGS
THEY GET TO A DECENT MEAL IS
FAST FOOD.
REMEMBER THAT?
THAT'S WHAT IS GOING ON
NOW.
WE'RE TALKING A LOT OF
MACARONI AND CHEESE.
WELL, THE FAGGE FACT IS
MANY STUDENTS ARE AWAY FROM
MOM AND DAD FOR THE FIRST
TIME IN THEIR LIVES, AND THE
BOTTOM LINE IS THEY HAVE NO
CLUE HOW TO COOK.
BUT AS OUR NEXT GUEST WILL
SHOW US, IT DOESN'T HAVE TO
BE THAT WAY.
TAKE A LOOK.
NISA BURNS IS CALLED THE
CHEF FOR A NEW GENERATION,
WITH HER CONCEPT OF KITCHEN
ABILITY.
SHE DEFINES THIS AS BECOMING
BEST FRIENDS WITH YOUR
KITCHEN IN ORDER TO FEED
YOURSELF FOR LIFE.
THAT'S ONE REASON HER
RECIPES ARE GEARED TOWARDS
COLLEGE STUDENTS ON THEIR
OWN FOR THE FIRST TIME.
NISSA SAYS COOKING TO BE
EASY, NATURAL, AND FUN.
SHE'LL SHOW YOU DELICIOUS
AND HEALTHY ALTERNATIVES TO
DRIVDRIVE-THROUGH OR QUICK,
PROCESSED FOODS.
Kristi: NISSA IS THE
AUTHOR OF THE SOON TO BE
RELEASED COOKBOOK "KITCHEN
ABILITY."
IT IS SO GOOD TO SEE YOU.
KITCHEN ABILITY -- I'M GLAD
I DON'T HAVE TO SAY IT MORE
THAN ONE TIME.
IT IS A FANTASTIC WORD.
KITCHEN ABILITY -- IT'S
ABOUT BECOMING BEST FRIENDS
WITH YOUR KITCHEN.
WHETHER YOU'RE IN A DORM
ROOM OR A SMALL APARTMENT --
I ALWAYS SAY NEVER CALL
YOURSELF A BAD COOK.
BECAUSE NO MATTER IF YOU
HAVE A MICROWAVE, A TOASTER
OVEN OR A RICE COOKER, YOU
CAN MAKE THESE RECIPES WE'RE
GOING TO MAKE TODAY.
COME ON, GIRL, LET'S ROCK
IT.
YOU THINK ABOUT COLLEGE AND
BEING AWAY FROM MOM AND DAD
BECAUSE MOM ALWAYS COOKS FOR
YOU, AND YOU'RE IN A COLLEGE
DORM --
IF YOU JUST HAVE THE
BASICS.
A RICE COOKER, A BLENDER, A
TOASTER OVEN.
YOU CAN DO ANYTHING.
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE THINGS
WE CAN DO.
NISSA, GIRL, SHOW ME.
ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS
WE'RE GOING TO MAKE IS WHAT
MY MOM USED TO MAKE FOR US
AS WE WERE RUNNING OUT THE
DOOR.
THIS IS A BANANA CINNAMON
WAFFLE.
AND CINNAMON, THAT'S
DELICIOUS.
AND THEN YOU'RE GOING TO
PUT YOUR PEANUT BUTTER ON,
ABOUT A TABLESPOON.
LOVING IT.
YOU CAN NEVER GO WRONG WITH
PEANUT BUTTER.
THAT'S ONE OF THE FOUR BASIC
FOOD GROUPS: VEGETABLES,
MEAT, BREAD, AND PEANUT
BUTTER.
I LOVE IT.
YOU'RE GOING TO SLICE YOUR
BANANA, ABOUT THREE OR FOUR,
AND PUT IT ON TOP LIKE
THIS.
AND YOU WRAP IT INTO A PAPER
TOWEL OR A ZIPLOC BAG AND
YOU'RE OUT THE DOOR AND
READY TO GO TO CLASS.
PERFECT COLLEGE MEAL.
AND I'M IMPRESSED WITH HOW
QUICKLY YOU DID THAT.
EVERYTHING HERE IS UNDER
15 MINUTES.
AND YOU DID IT.
I HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT
THAT.
LET'S TALK ABOUT THOSE
WRAPS.
YOU CAN MAKE THIS IN YOUR
COLLEGE DORM?
YES.
IT IS KIND OF MY TAKE ON THE
TACO.
THE HEALTHY VERSION OF THE
TYPICAL TACO.
BASICALLY ALL YOU NEED IS A
MINI FRIDGE.
IF YOU WANT TO MAKE IT THE
NIGHT BEFORE AND PUT IT IN A
PORTABLE CONTAINER FOR
CLASS, MAKE SURE YOU PUT
LIME JUICE ON YOUR AVOCADOS,
BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T,
THEY'LL BROWN.
ICEBERG LETTUCE, FRESH
TOMATOES, AVOCADOS, AND A
LITTLE BIT OF CILANTRO.
WHEN YOU GO TO COLLEGE,
EVERYONE TALKS ABOUT THE
FRESHMAN 15, YOU GET CHUNK
CHUNK -- I KNOW I DID.
SO THAT'S HEALTHY.
WE'RE GOING TO FAST FORWARD
BECAUSE IT IS LIVE
TELEVISION.
TALK ABOUT THIS.
THIS IS MY TAKE ON TOMATO
SOUP.
I FELT -- MY AUNT ABBEY
HELPED ME WITH THIS DISH.
CAME OVER AND SAID HEY,
LET'S MAKE SOMETHING REALLY
QUICK AND EASY AND FUN.
YOU TAKE A CAN OF ITALIAN
STEWED TOMATOES, MAKE SURE
YOU USE ALL OF THE JUICE.
YOU CAN CRUSH THEM IF YOU
LIKE IT CREAMIER.
AND ADD A LITTLE BIT OF
MILK.
YOU CAN DO THIS IN YOUR DORM
ROOM.
THROW THAT IN THE MICROWAVE,
AND 30 SECONDS, AND YOU'VE
GOT SMOOTH SOUP.
LOOK AT YOU.
YOU'VE GOT A LITTLE BIT OF
GARNISH -- I DON'T KNOW WHAT
THAT IS.
PARSLEY.
AND YOU CAN TOP IT WITH
BASIL IF YOU WANT TO GET
SASSY.
WE LIKE SASSY.
THIS IS A RICE COOKER, BUT
THERE IS PASTA IN THERE.
YOU CAN COOK PASTA IN A
RICE COOKER.
THIS IS MY FAVORITE
MACHINE.
YOU CAN STEAM VEGETABLES IN
IT AND MAKE PASTA IN IT.
COLLEGE STUDENTS SHOULD HAVE
THESE.
THAT'S A REALLY GOOD
COMMERCIAL.
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS SAY,
FOR $19.95 -- I'M SORRY.
THEY'RE LIKE HURRY UP.
YOU ADD YOUR FETA CHEESE,
TOMATOES, A LITTLE BIT OF
OLIVE OIL.
AND AS YOU DO THIS, I'M
GOING TO GO TO THE NEXT
THING.
OLIVES.
OKAY.
AND YOU SERVE --
YOU CAN SERVE THIS HOT OR
COLD.
SO IF YOU WANT IT FOR A
PASTA SALAD COLD, YOU CAN
HAVE IT COLD.
SO THOSE ARE SOME MEALS.
BUT WHAT ABOUT SNACKS?
WHEN I WAS IN COLLEGE YOU
SNACK ALL OF THE TIME.
THIS IS MY SUBSTITUTE FOR
POTATO CHIPS.
PUT FET TO CHEES FETA
CHEESE INSIDE SOME POTATOES,
AND PUT THEM IN WHILE YOU'RE
STUDYING.
AND, OF COURSE, THESE.
OTHER SNACKS YOU CAN DO.
I MAKE MY OWN HOMEMADE
TRAIL MIX.
IT IS CHEAPER.
BUYING IT IN BULK AND DOING
IT YOURSELF IS HAVING U IT
THROUGHOUT THE WEEK IS SO
MUCH CHEAPER.
YOU WENT FROM COLLEGE TO
BE A NURSE, AND NOW YOU'RE
JUST ABOUT TO GRADUATE FROM
CULINARY SCHOOL?
A.I., VIRGINIA BEACH.
I'M SO PROUD OF YOU.
NEXT WEEK.
GOOD JOB.
ALL RIGHT, NISSA, I WANT TO
SAY THANK YOU SO MUCH.
AGAIN, YOU'VE GOT A BOOK.
IT IS JUST ABOUT TO COME
OUT, IT IS CALLED "KITCHEN
ABILITY, THE COLLEGE
STUDENT'S GUIDE TO EASY,
HEALTHY, AND DELICIOUS
FOOD," AND IT IS AVAILABLE
TO PREORDER.
THIS IS GREAT.
IF NOT JUST FOR YOU, YOUR
DAUGHTERS, YOUR SONS,
NIECES, NEPHEWS, WHOEVER IS
IN COLLEGE.
THIS IS GREAT FOR THEM.
AND IT WILL BE IN STORES
NEXT MONTH.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
APPRECIATE IT.
I WISH YOU WERE IN MY
DORM WHEN I WAS THERE.
Pat: WE LEAVE YOU WITH
THESE WORDS FROM THE PSALMS,
"THE LORD HAS HEARD MY
SUPPLICATION, THE LORD WILL
RECEIVE MY PRAYER."
THAT'S ALL OF THE TIME WE'VE
GOT FOR TODAY'S SHOW.
TOMORROW WE'VE GOT THE
GRANDSON OF ONE OF THE
FOUNDERS OF THE MUSLIM
BROTHERHOOD.
YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS IT.
