Reporter: A SOLDIER'S
BEST FRIEND.
HE NOT ONLY SAVED MY
LIFE, BUT WHO KNOWS HOW
MANY.
WE HAD TO GET HIM MEDIVACED
OUT THERE QUICK.
Reporter: AND HOW
THEY'RE HELPING OTHERS.
PLUS, NCAA WRESTLING CHAMP,
ANTHONY.
AND HIS UNLIKELY CLIMB TO
THE TOP.
I'M THE ONLY ATHLETE TO
EVER WIN, DESPITE MISSING A
LIMB.

Pat: WELCOME TO EDITION
OF "THE 700 CLUB."
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT, TODAY
IS MONDAY.
PLAIN OLD MONDAY.
NO MONEY INVOLVED IN IT.
BUT TALK ABOUT MONEY, DEAR
ME, THEY'RE WASTING SO MUCH
MONEY ON TELEVISION.
THEY'RE SATURATING THE
AIRWAVES WITH EXPENSIVE
SPOTS THAT PEOPLE ARE TURNED
OFF.
IT LOOKED LIKE THE OBAMA
CAMPAIGN HIT $180 MILLION,
AND THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT A
BILLION DOLLARS ON THAT
RE-ELECTION CAMPAIGN.
TERRY?
Terry: IT IS KIND OF
CRAZY, ISN'T IT?
THE ECONOMY THE WAY IT IS,
AND THEY'RE DOING THINGS
LIKE THAT.
MITT ROMNEY IS STAYING ON
THE OFFENSIVE, TOO.
HE IS KEEPING UP HIS ATTACKS
ON THE ECONOMY, AND TODAY HE
IS GOING AFTER THE PRESIDENT
ON FOREIGN POLICY.
EF "GREY'S ANATOMYEPHRAIM
GRAHAM HAS THE STORY.
Reporter: ROMNEY SAYS
IT IS TIME TO CHANGE COURSE
IN THE MIDDLE EAST, AND HE
IS CRITICIZING THE OBAMA
ADMINISTRATION'S HANDLING OF
THE TERRORIST ATTACKS LAST
MONTH.
HE SAYS IT CAN'T BE BLAMED
ON A VIDEO, AS THEY DID AT
FIRST.
IT SETS THE STAGE FOR
PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE ON BOTH
DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN
POLICY.
MITT ROMNEY CONTINUES TO
RIDE HIGH ON MOMENTUM FROM
HIS FIRST PERFORMANCE.
YOU ALL HAVE A CHANCE TO
HEAR HIS ANSWERS OR
NON-ANSWERS.
NOW, OF COURSE, DAYS LATER,
WE'RE HEARING HIS EXCUSES.
AND NEXT JANUARY, WE'LL BE
WATCHING HIM LEAVE THE WHITE
HOUSE FOR THE LAST TIME.
Reporter: A POLL SHOWS
ROMNEY GETTING A DEBATE
BOUNCE, NOW LEADING
PRESIDENT OBAMA 49% TO 47%
AMONG LIKELY VOTERS.
AND A FORECASTING MODEL
OUTER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF
COLORADO, THAT HAS PREDICTED
EVERY ELECTION ACCURATELY
SINCE 1980 SAYS ROMNEY WILL
WIN THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE.
MEANWHILE, PRESIDENT OBAMA
IS FUNDRAISING IN
CALIFORNIA.
IN SEPTEMBER, DEMOCRATS
RAISED $181 MILLION.
SHATTERING PREVIOUS
RECORDS..
AT A CELEBRITY FUNDRAISER,
HE SAID.
THEY PERFORMED
FLAWLESSLY, NIGHT AFTER
NIGHT.
I CAN'T ALWAYS SAY THE
SAME.
Reporter: THE
UNEMPLOYMENT RATE FELL BELOW
8% FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE
JANUARY OF 2009, COMING IN
AT 7.8%.
A NUMBER THAT THE PRESIDENT
SAYS SHOWS PROGRESS.
President Obama: MORE
AMERICANS ENTERED THE
WORKFORCE, MORE PEOPLE ARE
GETTING JOBS.
Reporter: BUT MITT
ROMNEY SAYS THE RECOVERY
STILL ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH.
PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY
ARE HAVING A HARD TIME
FINDING A JOB.
PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY ARE
FINDING A HARD TIME MAKING
ENDS MEET EVEN IF THEY DO
HAVE A JOB.
Reporter: EVEN WITH
MORE FOREIGN POLICY TALK
COMING BEFORE THE ELECTION,
THE TOPIC ON MOST MINDS
BEFORE THE ELECTION WILL BE
JOBS AND UNEMPLOYMENT.
EPHRAIM GRAHAM CB, CBN
NEWS.
Pat: IT LOOKS LIKE
ROMNEY IS ROLLING ALONE.
THAT DEBATE HAS DISPELLED
THE MIASMA FROM ALL OF THE
COMPAIGNS PUTTING OUT.
BUT HE KEEPS STICKING WITH
THAT $5 TRILLION TAX CUT,
AND ROMNEY SAID I DIDN'T
PROPOSE SOME $5 TRILLION.
THEY FOUND A RESEARCH THAT
SAID OVER 10 YEARS, IT WILL
ADD UP TO $5 TRILLION.
AND ROMNEY DIDN'T SAY HE HAD
A $5 TRILLION TAX CUT.
ROMNEY SAYS THAT'S NOT MY
PLAN, AND THE CHICAGO SPIN
MEISTERS COME BACK AND SAY
HE IS LYING.
HE IS NOT LYING.
HE IS NOT FOLLOWING YOUR
PlayBook.
Terry: I THINK THE
REACTION IMMEDIATELY AFTER
THE DEBATE WAS REALITY.
EVERYBODY WAS FLUSTERED,
EVEN THOSE IN THE OBAMA
CAMPAIGN.
EVEN THOSE WHO WERE SPEAKING
AND SAYING SOMEHOW HE HAD
WON THE DEBATE.
THERE WAS JUST A HOLLOWNESS
TO IT.
THERE WAS TIME TO SPIN IT.
Pat: MAYBE IT IS THE
ALTITUDE IN DENVER.
MAYBE THE PRESIDENT WAS
SMOKING A LITTLE WEED.
Terry: I MISSED THAT
ONE.
Pat: YOU LOOK AT ALL
THOSE TWEETS -- BUT, ANYHOW,
THE NEXT ONE HE'LL BE A LOT
SHARPER ON IT.
BUT HIS MAIN THING IS THAT
THEY KILLED OSAMA BIN LADEN,
BUT WHAT ABOUT LIBYA.
HE HAS A LOT OF EGG ON HIS
FACE ON THAT ONE.
Terry: AND WHAT ABOUT
ISRAEL?
Pat: AND WHAT ABOUT
ISRAEL.
IT WAS A CLEAR COVER UP ON
THE ATTACK THAT KILLED OUR
AMBASSADOR.
SOMETHING ELSE IS GOING ON.
THE CHURCHES SAY, WE'RE NOT
GOING TO STAND FOR IT.
WE'RE HAVING OUR FREEDOM
TAKEN AWAY.
I WANT EVERYBODY TO
UNDERSTAND THAT THE I.R.S.
IS NOT ACTING ON ITS OWN.
IT IS ACTING ON THE BASIS OF
A PIECE OF LEGISLATION THAT
WAS JAMMED THROUGH THE
CONGRESS BY PRESIDENT LYNDON
B. JOHNSON, WHICH LIMITS THE
ABILITY OF NON-PROFITS TO
SPEAK OUT IN AN ELECTION.
IN MY OPINION, IT IS UNCONS
TUTIONALTUTIONAL, AND IT
HASN'T BEEN CHALLENGED LIKE
IT SHOULD.
BUT THE PASTORS ARE SAYING
WE'RE GOING TO GO AND
CHALLENGE IT.
SO THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION
WAS A TOPIC OF CONVERSATION
FROM AND UNUSUAL PLACE, AND
THAT'S THE PULPIT.
LEE WEBB HAS THAT ACROSS.
Lee: PASTORS TOOK PART
IN SOMETHING CALLED "PULPIT
FREEDOM SUNDAY," THEY FEEL
THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO SPEAK
FOR OR AGAINST THE
CANDIDATE.
ONE SUNDAY THEY WERE WILLING
TO TEST THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT'S RESOLVE TO STOP
THEM.
Reporter: BISHOP HARRY
JACKSON IS KNOWN FOR
SPEAKING HIS MIND.
ON SUNDAY, HE TOOK IT A STEP
FURTHER, DELIVERING A FIERY
CEREMONY ABOUT THE COUNTRY'S
STATE OF AFFAIRS.
SOME MAY RIGHT AMERICA.
THE TITLE OF OUR MESSAGE
GIVE YOU IN THESE LAST FEW
MINUTES IS FOR A REASON.
WHY I CANNOT SUPPORT BARACK
OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT.
Reporter: BISHOP
JACKSON USED AN OLD
TESTAMENT TEXT TO MAKE HIS
CASE.
DRAWING A PARALLEL TO KING
AHAB AND QUEEN JES SA
JEZEBELLE.
IN THE END, JACKSON SAYS
JUSTICE AND RIGHTEOUSNESS
PREVAILED, BUT ONLY AFTER
GOD'S PEOPLE SPOKE OUT.
DURING THE SERVICE, HE
ARGUED AGAINST RE-ELECTING
PRESIDENT BASED ON MAJOR
STICKING POINTS, LIKE
ABORTION, THE U.S.-ISRAELI
ALIGNS, AND HE SPOKE OUT
AGAINST THE STATE-WIDE
REFERENDUM THAT WOULD MAKE
SAME-SEX LEGAL IN MARYLAND.
FOR HIS MEMBERS, HIS WORDS
WERE TIMELY.
I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING,
THAT WE'VE BEEN PUSHED
PUSHED BACK FAR ENOUGH.
IT IS TIME TO SHOW OUR HEART
TO GOD AND THE WORLD, AND
WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE PUSHED
ALONGER.
Reporter: BUT THEY ALSO
DEFIED A DECADES-OLD POLICY,
THAT ALLOWS CHURCHES TO
ALLOW AS NON-PROFIT, AS LONG
AS THEY DON'T HAVE ANY
POLITICAL CAMPAIGNING FOR OR
AGAINST ANY CANDIDATE.
THE GOAL, ACCORDING TO THE
I.R.S., IS TO PLACE
CANDIDATES IN THE OFFICE,
BEYOND THE PASTORS SPEAKING
FROM THE PULPIT.
PULPIT FREEDOM SUNDAY
STARTED FOUR YEARS AGO WITH
MORE THAN 30 PASTORS
PARTICIPATING.
THIS YEAR THAT NUMBER
SKYROCKETED TO AN ESTIMATED
1500, WITH EACH OF THE
PASTORS PLEDGING TO RECORD
THEIR SERVICE AND SEND THEM
TO THE I.R.S.
FOR BISHOP JACKSON, HE SAYS
HE IS LESS CONCERNED ABOUT A
PUBLIC AUDIT THAN HE IS
ABOUT A PUBLIC BACKLASH
AGAINST HIM AND HIS CONG
CONGREGATION.
THE BACKLASH AND THE
RETRIBUTION THAT CAN COME
FROM THAT COMMUNITY IN THE
GREATER WASHINGTON, D.C.
AREA IS MUCH MORE
INTIMIDATING THAN THE
I.R.S., IN TERMS OF MY
MEMBERS HAVE TO DEAL WITH
WHAT OTHER PEOPLE SAY.
Reporter: CRITICS, EVEN
SOME CLERGY, SAY IT IS MORE
IMPORTANT TO LIFT UP THE
NAME OF JESUS THAN POLITICAL
CANDIDATES.
BUT FOR BISHOP JACKSON AND
OTHERS, THEY SAY THE ISSUES
AT STAKE ARE TOO GRAVE TO
REMAIN SILENT.
YOU HAVE TO HAVE A
LIBERAL APPROACH AS TO WHY
YOU WOULD CHOOSE ROMNEY, FOR
EXAMPLE.
AND I'M NOT GOING TO WAIT
FOREVER.
AND I FINALLY CAME TO THE
CONCLUSION YOU CAN'T JUST
LAY OUT A CASE AND NOT NAME
NAMES.
Reporter: JOHN JESSOP,
CBN NEWS, MARYLAND.
Lee: PAT, YOU HAVE TO
ADMIRE THEIR RESOLVE?
Pat: I ADMIRE IT.
IT IS A LITTLE QUICKSODIC.
LEE, I FOUGHT THAT BATTLE.
I'VE BEEN THERE IN THE
TRENCHES.
I LOBBIED CONGRESS ON
CHANGING THE LAW.
I ASKED THEM TO PUT IN ABOUT
THREE OR FOUR WORDS IN THE
I.R.S. CODE, AND INSERT THE
THING TO AN INSUBSTANTIAL
AMOUNT OF THEIR ACTIVITY.
I HAD IT ALL TEED UP TO GO,
AND LO AND BEHOLD, NEWT
GINGRICH WAS FOUND TO BE
INVOLVED IN POLITICKING A
HISTORY COURSE AT SOME
LITTLE COLLEGE DOWN IN
GEORGIA, AND THAT BECAME THE
FOCUS.
AND THEN THEY SAID RATHER
THAN LOOK LIKE THIS IS IN
FAVOR OF NEWT, WE'RE NOT
GOING TO DO ANYTHING.
AND SO CONGRESS PUNTED.
IT IS THERE, AND IT SHOULD
BE CHANGED.
IT WAS RAMMED THROUGH
WITHOUT DEBATE.
IT WAS RAMMED THROUGH
WITHOUT COMMITTEE ANALYSIS
OF THE LEGISLATION.
IT WAS PUT THROUGH BECAUSE
LYNDON B. JOHNSON WAS A
TYRANT. HE HAD TYRANNICAL
CONTROL OVER THE UNITED
STATES CONSTITUTION.
NOW THE LAW SAYS ANY
STATEMENT BY A NON-PROFIT IN
BEHALF OF OUR IN OPPOSITION
TO A CANDIDATE FOR PUBLIC
OFFICE CAN RESULT IN THE
REVOCATION OF TAX EXEMPT
STATUS.
I THINK CHURCHES HAVE A
CONSTITUTIONAL FREEDOM TO
TALK ABOUT THESE THINGS.
THEY'VE HAD IT SINCE THE
FOUNDING OF OUR REPUBLIC.
IT IS SOMETHING THEY NEED TO
SPEAK OUT ABOUT, BUT IT IS
LIKE THE NAIL THAT STICKS
OUT, IT IS GOING TO GET A
HAMMER SLAMMED ON IT.
WHETHER THE I.R.S. IS GOING
TO LET THIS SLIP BY, THEY
PROBABLY WILL BECAUSE THEY
DON'T WANT THE HASSLE.
BUT THEY'RE MERELY FOLLOWING
WHY THE LAW SAYS, AND
REGRETTABLY, THE LAW IS
WRONG AND IT SHOULDN'T HAVE
BEEN THAT WAY.
IN MY OPINION, IT IS
UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
BUT THE CHALLENGES HAVE BEEN
MANY, AND I'VE BEEN INVOLVED
IN TRYING TO GET
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS,
BUT ALL WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
IS TO AN INSUBSTANTIAL
AMOUNT OF ACTIVITY.
THAT'S ALL WE'RE ASKING.
IT IS AN ABSOLUTE
PROHIBITION NOW.
WHICH MEANS THE I.R.S. HAS A
GUN AT THE HEAD OF THE
NON-PROFIT, AND THEY CAN
PULL THE TRIGGER AND DESTROY
YOU ON THE STRENGTH OF
SOMEBODY COMES OUT AND SAYS,
I FAVOR THE ELECTION OF
OBAMA OR ROMNEY.
AND THE I.R.S. CAN COME ON
TOP OF THEM.
I DON'T KNOW.
Terry: I ADMIRE THEM,
AS WE SAID.
Pat: YOU ADMIRE THEM,
BUT WE NEED TO CHANGE THE
COTTON-PICKING LAW.
IT IS WRONG.
IT SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN PUT
IN.
THERE NEEDS TO BE ENOUGH
COURAGE IN THE UNITED STATES
CONGRESS TO CHANGE IT.
BUT, AS I SAY, I HAVE BEEN
THERE, DONE THAT, AND
FAILED.
LEE?
Lee: CALIFORNIA
GOVERNOR JERRY BROWN IS
TRYING TO BRING DOWN GAS
PRICES IN HIS STATE BY
RELAXING SOME REGULATIONS
TEMPORARILY.
PRICES JUMPED AN AVERAGE OF
16 CENTS, TO A RECORD $4.65
A GALLON.
SOME STATIONS CHARGING MORE
THAN $5, AND AT LEAST ONE IN
THE GOLDEN STATE WENT OVER
$6.
EXPERTS BLAME LAST MONTH'S
FIRE AT A GAS REFINERY, AND
PIPELINE PROBLEMS IN
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, BUT
MANY DRIVERS AREN'T BUYING
THAT.
I THINK IT IS JUST
OUTRAGEOUS.
I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE REASON
IS FOR THAT, AND I DON'T
BELIEVE WHAT IS BEING
PURPORTED.
IT IS JUST A MATTER OF
WE'RE GOING TO SOAK YOU A
LITTLE BIT MORE.
AND, YOU KNOW, THEY DON'T
CARE.
Lee: GOVERNOR BROWN HAS
ORDERED STATE SMOG
REGULATORS TO ALLOW A
CHEAPER BLEND OF WINTER GAS
LIE GASOLINE TO BE PRODUCED
A MONTH EARLIER.
YOU WONDER IF THIS WAS GOING
ON IN A SWING STATE, WOULD
IMPACT IT WOULD HAVE ON THE
ELECTION.
Pat: IT WOULD HAVE A
PROFOUND IMPACT.
IN MY 87 YEARS, I'VE DONE A
LOT OF THINGS.
AND ONE OF WHICH I WOULD
NEVER COUNSEL ANYBODY TO DO,
BUT I WAS FOOLISH ENOUGH TO
BUY AN OIL REFINERY IN
CALIFORNIA.
AND IT WAS SUFFICIENTLY
PRODUCTIVE TO HAVE CHANGED
THE BALANCE OF THE EQUATION
IN CALIFORNIA.
IT WAS GOING TO SUPPLY
INDEPENDENT STATIONS IN THE
SAN DIEGO AREA.
AND IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A
NICE BALANCE.
SO IF ONE OF THE OTHER
REFINERIES WENT DOWN, THIS
WOULD HAVE BEEN SUPPLYING
THE MARGIN.
THERE WAS A GROUP CALLED
"THE CITIZENS FOR A BETTER
ENVIRONMENT."
THEY BROUGHT A LAWSUIT.
THE LAWSUIT WAS UPHELD BY A
LEFT-WING JUDGE.
I SAY LEFT-WING -- HE WAS
APPOINTED BY, I THINK, BILL
CLINTON.
BUT HE WAS SOLIDLY AGAINST
REFINERIES.
AND THE IDEA WAS THIS JUDGE
SAID IF YOU WANT TO OPEN
THIS REFINERY, YOU'VE GOT TO
GO FOR WHAT IS CALLED "A NEW
SOURCE REVIEW."
WHICH MEANS YOU HAVE TO GO
BACK TO SQUARE ONE AND SPEND
MILLIONS AND MILLIONS AND
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF
ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES TO
PROVE YOU WON'T HARM THE
ENVIRONMENT.
EVEN THOUGH THE E.P.A. HAD
CLEARED THIS REFINERY.
BUT THIS ONE LAWSUIT BY THIS
ONE GROUP, "CITIZENS FOR A
BETTER ENVIRONMENT," STOPPED
IT COLD, AND, OF COURSE, IT
COULDN'T CONTINUE BECAUSE
THE MONEY WASN'T THERE TO
KEEP IT GOING.
THEREFORE, THE PRICE OF
GASOLINE IN CALIFORNIA HAS
GONE UP BECAUSE THERE WAS NO
ESCAPE VALVE.
BUT THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN
THESE GREENS, THESE
ENVIRONMENTALISTS, GET THEIR
HANDS ON THIS.
THEY DON'T CARE.
ALL THEY WANT TO DO IS CUT
DOWN THE EMISSIONS ON
REFINERY.
THEY DON'T LIKE AMERICAN
MANUFACTURING.
THEREFORE THERE IS A TYPE OF
BLEND THAT THE CALIFORNIA
AIRY SOURCE BOARD WANTS, THE
CARB STANDARDS, AND THEY'RE
VERY RESTRICTIVE, AND THE
REFINERIES HAVE TO BLEND IN
IN A PARTICULAR WAY.
AND SO NICE FOLKS IN
CALIFORNIA ARE GOING TO BE
PAYING $5 A GALLON OR $
$5.50 OR $6, OR HOWEVER
MUCH, AND YOU'RE GOING TO BE
PAYING A LOT MORE FOR YOUR
ELECTRICITY BECAUSE OF
ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVISTS.
IF YOU LIKE THAT, YOU
CONTINUE, AND YOU CONTINUE
TO PAY AT THE PUMP.
OTHERS SAY WE CAN'T STAND
IT, AND PEOPLE ARE FLEEING
CALIFORNIA.
AND THEY'VE LOST A LOT OF
JOBS BECAUSE OF THIS.
BUT THIS IS THE PRICE WE
PAY.
THEY SAY THERE IS SO MUCH
SMOG IN THE VALLEY, THERE
WAS SO MUCH SMOG IN
LOS ANGELES, AND SO THEY SAY
WE'VE GOT TO DO SOMETHING.
AND THIS IS THEIR ANSWER.
Lee: PAT, THE
PHILIPPINES AND THE
COUNTRY'S LARGEST REBEL
GROUP HAVE REACHED A PEACE
AGREEMENT.
THE MUSLIM INSURGENCY HAS
LEFT MORE THAN 103 PEOPLE
DEAD.
WESTERN GOVERNMENTS WORRY
THE REBEL STRONGHOLDS WOULD
BECOME BREEDING GROUNDS FOR
al-QAEDA FIL AFFILIATED
EXTREMISTS.
THE NEW TELEVISION PROGRAMS
WILL SEE A NUMBER OF
INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF
GAY AND LESBIANS ON THE
SCREEN.
IT WILL BE THE HIGHEST LEVEL
EVER, 4.4% OF ACTORS ON
PRIME TIME ARE PORTRAYING
LESBIAN, GAY, BISENSUAL OR
TRANTRANSGENDER
CHARACTERS.
ACTION HAABC HAS THE
HIGHEST AMOUNT, AND CBS ALSO
HAS MORE GAY CHARACTERS THIS
SEASON.
BUSINESSMEN ARE GETTING OUT
OF FRANCE BEFORE NEW TAX
INCREASES HIT.
THAT MEANS HIGH-END REAL
ESTATE IS HITTING THE
MARKET.
THEY TELL AGENCY FRANCE
PRESS THAT EXPENSIVE HOMES
ARE COMING UP FOR SALE IN
PARIS AND ACROSS FRANCE.
FRANÇOIS HOLLANDE IS RAISING
THE TAX RATE TO 75% ON
INCOMES ABOVE A MILLION
EUROS A YEAR.
THAT IS ABOUT $1.3 MILLION.
AND MANY IN BUSINESS ARE
CONCERNED ABOUT POSSIBLE
FUTURE TAX HIKES.
SOME COMPLAIN ABOUT A
GROWING ATTITUDE AGAINST
BUSINESS IN FRANCE.
I'M GLAD WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
FRANCE.
I THOUGHT MAYBE WE WERE
TALKING ABOUT THE UNITED
STATES.
Pat: IT WILL BECOME
THAT IF WE CONTINUE THE
CURRENT POLICIES.
BUT I IT PROBABLY WON'T GET
AS BAD AS FRANCE.
BUT THEY'RE TRYING TO RAISE
THE CAPITAL GAINS TAX.
AND THAT WILL MAKE IT HARD
BECAUSE IF THEY WANT TO SELL
SOME OF THEIR STOCKS, THEY
CAN'T GET THE PAYOFF THEY
GET HERE IN THE UNITED
STATES.
SO THEY'RE MOVING.
BRUSSELS IS CLOSE.
IF YOU'RE ON A TRAIN, AND IN
ABOUT AN HOUR, YOU'RE OUT OF
FRANCE.
THEY CAN LEAVE.
THEY CAN GO TO MONTE CARLO,
THEY CAN GO TO SINGAPORE.
THEY CAN GO TO GENEVA,
WHEREVER, AND GET A DECENT
DEAL.
SO THESE GOVERNMENTS THAT
THINK THEY CAN TURN THE
SCREWS ON RICH PEOPLE ARE
VERY MISGUIDED BECAUSE THE
RICH CAN FLEE.
AND SOME OF YOU HERE IN THE
UNITED STATES MIGHT THINK OF
FLEEING IF THE POLICIES
CONTINUE.
Terry: THIS IS ONE
EUROPEAN TREND YOU HOPE
DOESN'T MAKE IT ACROSS THE
OCEAN.
Pat: IT IS THERE.
THE CONCEPT OF REGULATING
BUSINESS, THAT BUSINESS IS
EVIL, AND THAT WE HAVE TO
SQUEEZE IT AND MAKE IT PAY
ITS, QUOTE,"FAIR SHARE."
NOBODY KNOWS WHAT A "FAIR
SHARE" IS, BUT ONCE YOU
START TALKING "FAIR SHARE,"
AND IT IS UP TO THE
BUREAUCRAT TO DECIDE WHAT IS
FAIR.
IS IT 50%?
60%?
75%?
THE FRENCH SAY IT IS 75%.
I WAS TALKING TO A FRENCH
BUSINESSMAN A COUPLE OF
YEARS AGO, AND HE TOLD ME
ALL OF THE TAXES AND THEY
WERE PAYING 100%.
THEY HAD TAXES ON CAPITAL
SHARES, ON PROPERTY, ON
TRAN TRANSACTIONS OF EVERY
KIND, AND THEY'VE GOT TAXES
ON WORKERS, AND IT GOES ON
DOWN THE LINE.
NO FRENCH BUSINESSMAN IN HIS
RIGHT MIND WOULD HIRE
ANYBODY BECAUSE OF THE
ONEROUS LABOR REQUIREMENTS.
SOCIALISM CAN KILL ITSELF --
THAT'S THE GOOD NEWS --
BECAUSE IT CANNOT SURVIVE.
Terry: BUT WHAT
HAPPENED IN BETWEEN?
Pat: IN BETWEEN, IT IS
TOUGH.
Terry: UP NEXT, THE HOT
SUMMER MONTHS IN AFGHANISTAN
TAKE ITS TOLL NOT JUST ON
THE SOLDIERS, BUT THEIR
DOGS, TOO.
WHEN WE CAME BACK FROM
MISSION, HE WENT BACK TO HIS
KENNEL, AND PUT HIS PAWS IN
THE WATER BOWL.
Terry: WE'LL GO ON
PUPPY PATROL WITH THE REAL
DOGS OF WAR.
THAT'S NEXT.
TUESDAY...
I JUST WANT TO GO OUT
THERE AND HONOR HIS NAME
THROUGH THE TALENT HE HAS
GIVEN ME.
Lee: WE SQUARE OFF WITH
LOR RENENZO ALEXANDER.
MY RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM
AND MY CAREER STARTING GOING
UP AS WELL.
Lee: PLUS, FALL IS IN
THE AIR.
SO GIVE YOURSELF AN AUTUMN
TREAT.
PAT SERVES UP A DISH OF HIS
MINASTRONI SOUP, TUESDAY ON
"THE 700 CLUB."
Pat: TOMORROW IS THE
BIG MINISTRON IN DAY.
I WANT TO SHOW PEOPLE THAT
GAR GORDON IS NOT THE ONLY
COOK IN MY FAMILY.
Terry: IT PASSED DOWN
FROM SOMEWHERE?
Pat: ABSOLUTELY.
HE REMINDED ME THAT THE
STUFF I COOKED WHEN MY WIFE
WAS SICK WAS JUST HORRIBLE.
THEY HAD SPANISH OMELETTES
EVERY DAY.
PLEASE, MOM, COME BACK.
ANYHOW, MY MINESTRONI IS
UNREAL.
IT IS AN ITALIAN DISH, BUT I
DID IT MY WAY.
YOU'RE GOING TO SEE IT
TOMORROW.
AND YOU CAN GET YOUR RECIPE
BOOK OUT AND YOU'RE LITTLE
PAD AND PENCIL, AND WE'LL
SHOW YOU HOW TO MAKE A
DELICIOUS FALL SOUP.
I HAVE HAD DOGS SINCE I WAS
A LITTLE BOY.
DOGS.
WE HAVE A DOG NOW, AND WE'VE
HAD MANY DOGS.
MY WIFE AND I HAVE ALL KINDS
OF BREEDS AND ALL KINDS OF
DOGS.
AND DOGS ARE NOT ONLY MAN'S
BEST FRIEND, THEY CAN BE A
SOLDIER'S BEST FRIEND AS
WELL.
AND NOW THEY'RE AN IMPORTANT
PART OF THE WAR ON TERROR.
BUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN ONE OF
THESE CANINE HEROS GETS HURT
IN THE LINE OF DUTY.
CHUCK HOLTON HAS THAT STORY
FROM A SPECIAL HOSPITAL IN
GERMANY.
Reporter: NUMBERS OF
U.S. MILITARY PERSONNEL IN
AFGHANISTAN HAVE BEEN
DECREASING OVER THE PAST
COUPLE OF YEARS.
HOWEVER, THERE IS ONE SET OF
TROOPS IN COMBAT THAT IS
INCREASING.
BECAUSE OF THEIR KEEN SENSE
OF SMELL AND ACUTE
INTELLIGENCE, MILITARY
WORKING DOGS ARE BECOMING
MORE AND MORE CRUCIAL TO THE
WORK OVERSEAS.
BUT THE JOB DOESN'T COME
WITHOUT RISKS.
THEY, ALONG WITH THEIR
HANDLERS, LAY IT ON THE LINE
DAILY FOR THE SAFETY OF
THOSE AROUND THEM.
WHEN SERVICEMEN AND WOMEN
ARE INJURED IN THE WAR ZONE,
THEY'RE NORMALLY TRANSPORTED
TO GERMANY, WHERE THEY
RECEIVE SOME OF THE BEST
MEDICAL CARE ON THE PLANET.
IN RECENT YEARS, MORE AND
MORE MILITARY DOGS HAVE BEEN
WOUNDED IN THE LINE OF DUTY
AS WELL.
WHEN THAT HAPPENS, THEY COME
HERE, TO THE MILITARY DOG
CENTER IN GERMANY.
WE CAN GO MONTHS WITHOUT
SEEING ANY DOGS, AND WE CAN
GO A MONTH WHERE WE MIGHT
SEE FOUR OR FIVE.
Reporter: ARMY MAJOR
JACLYN PARKER IS A MILITARY
VETERINARIAN.
WE SEE MORE IN THE SUMMER
MONTHS, WHICH CORRESPONDS TO
WHEN THE ACTION PICKS UP IN
AFGHANISTAN.
Reporter: THEY SEE AS
MANY AS 20 DOGS A YEAR
COMING FROM THE COMBAT ZONE
IN IRAQ AND OTHER PLACES.
THIS IS THEO, AND HE CAME IN
FROM AFGHANISTAN WHERE HE
WAS BURNED JUST BY THE HOT
SAND.
HE IS GETTING GREAT CARE
FROM THE VET TECHS HERE IN
GERMANY.
THEO'S THERAPY WILL BE
BANDAGE CHANGES.
BUT HE'LL PROBABLY BE IN
BANDAGES FOR UP TO SIX TO
EIGHT WEEKS, DEPENDING ON
HOW WELL HE HEALS, SO WE CAN
PROTECT THE PAWS AND PADS
FROM FURTHER DAMAGE.
Reporter: THESE
MILITARY DOGS IN THEIR
HANDLERS WORK IN DIFFICULT
AND DANGEROUS CONDITIONS.
THEIR MISSION, TO FIND AND
DISARM EXPLOSIVES.
BOTH DOGS AND HANDLERS GO TO
TRAINING ZONES, AND THEN
HEAD TO THE WAR ZONE.
THIS SPECIALIST IS THEO'S
PARTNER.
I STARTED AS INFANTRY,
AND OUR BRIGADE NEEDED ABOUT
20 GUYS.
IT WAS A SELECTION PROCESS
YOU HAD TO GO THROU.
AND FROM THERE, WE DID THREE
MONTHS OF WORKING WITH THESE
DOGS AND WERE SHIPPED
STRAIGHT OVER TO
AFGHANISTAN.
Reporter: THERE IS NO
QUESTION THESE DOGS SAVED
LIVES BY SNIFFING OUT
EXPLOSIVES.
THEIR WORKING CONDITIONS CAN
BE BRUTAL, WITH SUMMER
CONDITIONS EASILY TOPPING
110°, WHICH CAN LEAD TO
SERIOUS INJURY.
WE WERE ON PATROL, AND
WALKING OUT TO A VILLAGE,
LOOKING FOR WEAPONS CASHES,
AND IT WAS TOO HOT FOR HIM.
IT STARTED BURNING HIS PAWS
UP.
THERE WAS NO SHADE OUT
THERE.
WHEN WE CAME BACK FROM THE
MISSION, HE WENT INTO HIS
KENNEL AND PUT HIS PAWS IN
THE WATER BOWL.
WE HAD TO GET HIM MEDIVACED
OUT OF THERE REAL QUICK.
Reporter: THE MILITARY
VET TECHS HERE WERE READY
AND WAITING TO SEE TO THEO'S
CARE.
SPECIALIST MORRIS COULDN'T
BE MORE HAPPY.
HE IS MOVING AROUND AND
WALKING, SO IT HAS BEEN REAL
GOOD.
Reporter: FELLOW
VETERANS FEEL CAMARADERIE
AND SUPPORT THAT FEW OTHERS
GET TO SHARE.
BUT WITH MILITARY WORKING
DOGS AND THEIR HANDLERS, THE
PHRASE "MAN'S BEST FRIEND"
IS TAKEN TO A WHOLE NEW
LEVEL.
HE HAS NOT ONLY SAVED MY
LIFE, BUT WHO KNOWS HOW
MANY.
Reporter: WHEN A DOG IS
TOO INJURED TO RETURN,
THEY'RE PUT UP FOR
ADOPTION.
341st WHO TRAINS THE
MILITARY WORKING DOGS HAS A
SITE WHERE YOU CAN SIGN UP
FOR ADOPTION OF A MILITARY
WORKING DOG.
A LOT OF TIMES THE HANDLERS
ADOPT THE DOGS WHEN THEY
RETIRE FROM SERVICE.
ONCE YOU FOUND AN
EXPLOSIVE, AND YOU SAY, I
FOUND THAT AND SAVED THOSE
GUYS BEHIND ME, THAT IS WHAT
IT IS ALL ABOUT.
Reporter: WHILE WORKING
MILITARY DOGS ARE NOT
GETTING
MEDALS,
BUT THEIR
SERVICE IS STILL VERY
APPRECIATED.
THEY DON'T GET MEDALS,
BUT THEY GET A TS TENNIS
BALL.
Pat: ISN'T THAT
WONDERFUL.
HARRY S. TRUMAN SAID IN
WASHINGTON, "IF YOU WANT A
FRIEND, GET A DOG."
Terry: IN WASHINGTON, I
AGREE.
Pat: THEY'RE
SELF-SACRIFICING AND THEY'LL
GO OUT AND KILL THEMSELVES
FOR THEIR OWNERS.
IT IS JUST AMAZING.
I DON'T KNOW, TERRY, WHY
THEY DON'T PUT LITTLE PADS
ON THEIR FEET.
Terry: I WONDER IF THEY
WOULD KEEP THEM ON.
MOST DOGS DON'T LIKE THAT.
Pat: THEY PROBABLY
WON'T LIKE IT, BUT, GOOD
GRIEF, THEY COULD TEACH THEM
HOW TO KEEP THEM ON.
Terry: THAT IS BRUTAL.
Pat: THAT'S ONE MORE
TYPE OF HERO WE TALKED
ABOUT.
WE TALK ABOUT OTHER HEROS
NOW.
Terry: WE'RE GOING TO
TALK ABOUT THE BATTLE THAT
SAVED AMERICA AND CHANGED
THE WORLD.
AND WE'LL TELL YOU ABOUT THE
SECRET WEAPON THAT SAVED THE
DAY.
THAT'S NEXT.
Terry: IF YOU'VE BEEN
WATCHING "THE 700 CLUB," YOU
KNOW THAT THE FIRST SETTLERS
TO AMERICA PRAYED AS SOON AS
THEY ARRIVED, AND THEY
DEDICATED THIS LAND TO GOD.
BUT THOSE WEREN'T THE ONLY
PRAYERS THAT SHAPED OUR
NATION.
OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL WEEKS,
WE'LL SHOW YOU PRAYERS THAT
SAVED A NATION, STARTING
WITH ONE FROM A YOUNG
SOLDIER NAMED GEORGE
WASHINGTON.
IT'S ONE SMALL STEP FOR
MAN...
Reporter: IN 1755,
22-YEAR-OLD GEORGE
WASHINGTON WAS A BRITISH
COLONEL FIGHTING AGAINST THE
FRENCH AND THEIR NATIVE
AMERICAN ALLIES FOR CONTROL
OVER COLONIAL TERRITORY.
ON JULY 9th, THE BRITISH
MARCHED TOWARDS PRESENT-DAY
PITTSBURGH AND WERE ATTACKED
IN A RAVINE.
900 TROOPS WERE KILLED.
BUT WASHINGTON'S PRAYERS TO
JESUS CHRIST FOR PROTECTION
DIDN'T GO UNHEARD.
WASHINGTON IS RIDING BACK
AND FORTH DELIVERING
ORDERS.
EVERY OTHER OFFICER ON
HORSEBACK IS SHOT.
AND WASHINGTON LATER IS
RIDING FROM FORT CUMBERLAND
TO HIS BROTHER, AND HE SAYS,
BY THE ALL POWERFUL HAND OF
PROVIDENCE, I HAVE BEEN
PROTECTED BEYOND ALL HUMAN
EXPECTATION.
I HAD TWO HORSES SHOT OUT
FROM UNDER ME, AND FOUR
BULLET HOLES IN MY COAT, AND
YET ESCAPED UNHURT.
EVERY YEAR DURING THE
REVOLUTION, THE CONTINENTAL
CONGRESS DECLARED DAYS OF
FASTING AND PRAYER.
WASHINGTON WOULD ORDER HIS
TROOPS TO OBSERVE THE DAYS
OF FASTING AND PRAYER.
Reporter: BUT THEIR
PRAYERS AND FAITH AND GOD'S
PROTECTION WERE TESTED
DURING THE LARGEST BATTLE OF
THE REVOLUTION, THE BATTLE
OF BROOKLYN HEIGHTS.
WASHINGTON HAD ALL OF HIS
MEN DUG IN FACING THE WATER,
THINKING THE BRITISH WERE
GOING TO ATTACK FROM THE
SEA.
AUGUST 1776, WASHINGTON IS
ATTACKED FROM BEHIND.
3,000 OF HIS MEN GET KILLED,
ONLY ABOUT 300 OF THE
BRITISH.
AND THE DAY PASSES AND
WASHINGTON HAS HIS 8,000 MEN
PINNED UP AGAINST THE
WATER.
THE SUN GOES DOWN, AND WHAT
DOES HE DO?
HE CAN'T RETREAT, SO HE GETS
EVERY BOAT HE CAN FIND, AND
THEY FERRY ALL NIGHT LONG TO
MANHATTAN ISLAND.
THE NEXT MORNING, THE SUN
BEGINS TO COME UP, AND HALF
HIS MEN ARE ON DUTY, AND
HALF ARE STRUNG OUT.
AND HIS CHIEF INTELLIGENCE
SAYS AT THIS POINT A VERY
PROVIDENTIAL OCCURRENCE
HAPPENED, A FOG CAME OVER.
HERE WASHINGTON WAS ON THE
LAST BOAT THAT LEFT, AND
WHEN THE FOG LIFTED, THE
BRITISH CHARGED UP THE HILL
AND NOBODY WAS THERE.
SO THAT'S A SUPER NATURAL
INTERVENTION OF ALMIGHTY
GOD?
IT IS.
AND IF WASHINGTON LOST THE
WAR, HE WOULD HAVE BEEN
HUNG, AND WE WOULD HAVE BEEN
PART OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE.
AND THE MOVEMENT ACROSS THE
WORLD FOR POPULAR
SELF-GOVERNMENT, PEOPLE
RULING THEMSELVES, WOULD
HAVE NEVER TAKEN PLACE.
Terry: QUITE AN
ASTONISHING,
HISTORY-CHANGING STORY, AND
PRAYER WAS THE THING THAT
MADE THE DIFFERENCE.
Pat: IT IS AMAZING.
THE MIRACLE OF THE FOG
COMING ACROSS THE EAST
RIVER, AMAZING.
IF THAT ARMY HAD BEEN WIPED
OUT, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN ALL
OVER.
NOT ONLY WOULD WASHINGTON
HAVE BEEN EXECUTED, BUT THE
WHOLE ARMY.
THE REVOLUTION WOULD HAVE
COLLAPSED.
Terry: AND, YOU KNOW,
THAT'S NOT THE ONLY TIME
SUCH THINGS HAVE HAPPENED IN
OUR HISTORY.
THERE IS A WONDERFUL BOOK
THAT SUSIE FEDERER HAS
WRITTEN, CALLED "MIRACLES IN
AMERICAN HISTORY."
ALL OF US SHOULD READ THIS
BECAUSE IT IS A GREAT
REMINDER OF OUR SPIRITUAL
HERITAGE IN OUR COUNTRY.
THAT'S WHY WE'RE ASKING ALL
OF YOU TO JOIN US AS WE LEAD
UP TO THIS ELECTION.
WE ARE GOING TO BE PRAYING
FOR AMERICA AND PRAYING FOR
OUR COUNTRY ON THE SET EVERY
DAY AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO
STOP UNTIL ELECTION DAY.
IF YOU'D LIKE TO BE PART OF
THAT, GIVE US A CALL AT
1-800-759-0700.
TELL US ABOUT YOUR PRAYERS
FOR AMERICA.
WE'RE GOING TO ADD THEM TO
OUR PRAYER FLAG, WHICH IS
LOCATED RIGHT BEHIND US.
SOMEONE SAYING, I'M PRAYING
THAT WE WOULD TRULY BE ONE
NATION UNDER GOD.
AND SOMEONE ELSE SAYING, I'M
PRAYING FOR PEACE FOR OUR
COUNTRY AND AN END TO WAR.
Pat: WE BROUGHT 162,000
PEOPLE WHO ALREADY SAID WE
WANT TO BE PRAYING.
YOU KNOW, TERRY, GOD LOVES
AMERICA.
HE IS NOT FINISHED WITH
AMERICA.
WE'VE DONE SOME TERRIBLE
THINGS AND WE VIOLATED THE
VOF NAN COVENANT THAT WE
MADE WITH GOD.
BUT, NEVERTHELESS, HE
REMEMBERS THE PRAYERS AND
THE SACRIFICE OF GODLY
PEOPLE THROUGH THE CENTURIES
WHO HAVE BEEN PART OF THE
FABRIC OF THIS NATION.
HE CARES ABOUT AMERICA, AND
HE WILL HEAR THE PRAYERS OF
HIS PEOPLE.
SOMEBODY SAYS I WANT A THIRD
GRADE AWAKENING, AND I'D
LIKE TO SEE THE END OF
ABORTION.
WE'RE GOING TO JOIN OUR
HANDS TOGETHER AND JOIN WITH
US AS WE PRAY DAY AFTER DAY
AFTER DAY, AND SAY, GOD,
SEND REVIVAL.
HEAR THE PRAYER OF YOUR
PEOPLE.
FATHER, TERRY AND I JOIN
TOGETHER WITH THOUSANDS OF
OTHERS WHO ARE PRAYING.
WE PRAY FOR THIS GREAT
NATION.
WE PRAY FOR REVIVAL.
WE PRAY FOR THE ANOINTING OF
YOUR HOLY SPIRIT TO COME
DOWN.
LORD, WE CONFESS OUR SINS.
WE'RE SINFUL PEOPLE.
WE HAVE VIOLATED THE
COVENANT WE MADE WITH YOU,
AND YOU MADE WITH US.
BUT, GOD, FORGIVE OUR SINS
AND HEAL OUR LAND.
IN THE NAME OF JESUS, MAY WE
SEE YOUR INTERVENTION,
ESPECIALLY AS THIS GREAT
ELECTION COMES UPON US IN
THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
IN THE FLAM NAME OF JESUS,
GIVE A MIRACLE.
THANK YOU, LORD.
Terry: AMEN.
Pat: AMEN.
Terry: I WANT TO SAY TO
PEOPLE, IF YOU'D STILL LIKE
TO BE A PART OF JOINING US
IN THIS PRAYER ENDEAVOR, YOU
CAN DO THAT BY CALLING OUR
TOLL-FREE NUMBER.
IT'S 1-800-759-0700.
JUST SHARE WITH US WHAT
YOU'RE PRAYING FOR OUR
COUNTRY, AND YOU MIGHT WANT
TO ASK AT THAT TIME TO HAVE
STEPS TO REVIVAL IN AMERICA
SENT TO YOU.
PAT HAS WRITTEN THIS, AND HE
TALKS ABOUT THE COVENANT
THAT AMERICA HAS WITH THE
LORD.
IT HAS BEEN BROKEN, AS YOU
MENTIONED, BUT HE ALSO
SHARES IN THERE, IS THERE AN
OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO ONCE
AGAIN REESTABLISH OUR
POSITION WITH THE LORD?
SO YOU WANT TO GET AHOLD OF
THIS, EVEN AS YOU PRAY WITH
US FOR THE COUNTRY.
1-800-759-0700.
WELL, STILL AHEAD, THEY MAY
HAVE HEARD SOMEONE SAY THEY
COULD WIN A FIGHT WITH ONE
HAND TIED BEHIND THEIR BACK,
WELL, WE'RE GOING TO SHOW
YOU A MAN WHO WON THE NCAA'S
WRESTLING TITLE WITHOUT THE
USE OF HIS RIGHT LEG.
HE'LL SHARE HIS OWN STORY
WHEN WE RETURN.
Lee: WELCOME BACK TO
"THE 700 CLUB."
VENEZUALA'S PRESIDENT HAS
WON RE-ELECTION IN HIS TIGHT
TEST RACE YET.
HE FACED A TOUGH CHALLENGE.
HE PROMISED TO TAKE ON
VIOLENT CRIME, THE
BUREAUCRACY AND GOVERNMENT
CORRUPTION.
BUT IN THE END, CHAVEZ WAS
WINNING BY NEARLY 10 POINTS
WITH 90% OF THE VOTE
COUNTED.
HE TOLD HIS SUPPORTERS THAT,
QUOTE,"THE REVOLUTION HAS
TRIUMPHED."
CBN'S "ORPHANS' PROMISE" IS
SUPPORTING A SPECIAL
ORPHANAGE IN MONGOLIA.
IT HELPS SPECIAL-NEEDS
CHILDREN, AND HELPS CHILDREN
LIVE IN A FAMILY UNIT.
EFFORTS ARE MADE TO REUNITE
CHILDREN WITH THEIR PARENTS
ONCE THEIR HOME LIFE IS
SAFE.
AND THEY ARE PLACING
CHILDREN IN LOVING HOMES.

STAY TUNED, PAT AND TERRY
WILL BE BACK IN A MOMENT.
Terry: WHEN ANTHONY
ROBILUS WAS FIVE YEARS OLD,
HE MANAGED TO SCALE A
50-FOOT POLE BY HIMSELF,
EVEN THOUGH HE WAS BORN
WITHOUT A LEG.
FROM THAT MOMENT ON,
ANTHONY'S MOTHER KNEW HER
SON WOULD BE UNSTOPPABLE.
YEARS LATER, SHE'S BEEN
PROVEN RIGHT.
HI, MY NAME IS ANTHONY
ROBILUS, AND I'M AN NCAA
DIVISION ONE NATIONAL
WRESTLING CHAMPION.
I GUESS WHAT MAKES ME SO
UNIQUE, I'M THE ONLY ONE TO
WIN A TITLE WITH ONLY ONE
LEG.
Reporter: WHAT HE
LACKED IN BODY, HE MADE UP
FOR IN HEART.
HIS MOTHER ALWAYS ENCOURAGED
HIM TO FIND HIS PURPOSE.
SHE WOULD ALWAYS TELL ME,
DON'T BE ASHAMED.
GOD MADE YOU FOR A REASON.
THERE IS A PLAN FOR YOU.
Reporter: HE FOUND THAT
PURPOSE ON THE WRESTLING MAT
WHEN HE WAS 14 YEARS OLD.
I FELT LIKE THAT WAS MY
CALLING.
I STRUGGLED FOR QUITE A BIT,
BUT I ALWAYS KNEW THAT
WRESTLING WAS SOMETHING I
WAS MEANT TO DO.
Reporter: HIS BOOK,
"UNSTOPPABLE," SHARES HOPE
FOR ANYONE WHOEVER DOUBTED
THEY COULD ACCOMPLISH THEIR
DREAMS.
Terry: PLEASE WELCOME
TO "THE 700 CLUB" THE AUTHOR
OF "UNSTOPPABLE," ANTHONY
ROBILUS.
THANK YOU.
Terry: YOU WERE BORN
WITHOUT A LEG.
DID THE DOCTORS EVER FIND
OUT WHY?
NO.
IT WAS A COMPLETE SHOCK.
STILL TO THIS DAY, THEY
CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS
HAPPENED.
MY MOM SAID GOD MADE ME THIS
WAY FOR A REASON.
Terry: GROWING UP,
THERE WERE TIMES WHEN YOU
JUST WANTED TO BLEND IN.
I THINK ALL KIDS ARE LIKE
THAT, DON'T YOU?
BUT YOUR MOM GAVE YOU A
DIFFERENT WORD OF
ENCOURAGEMENT.
WHAT DID SHE SAY TO YOU?
SHE ALWAYS TOLD ME TO BE
PROUD OF WHO I WAS.
SHE SAYS YOU'RE UNIQUE, AND
GOD MADETHAT WAY FOR A
PURPOSE.
IT IS BECAUSE OF THAT, SHE
HELPED ME WITH MY CON
CONFIDENCE.
BEING A KID GROWING UP, IT
WOULD BE REALLY DIFFICULT.
I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY I
WOULD GO PLACES AND PEOPLE
WOULD STARE AND WHISPER
THINGS.
BUT MY MOM, MY NUMBER ONE
FAN, WOULD SAY YOU'RE OKAY,
GOD MADE YOU THAT WAY, AND
BE PROUD.
IT REALLY HELPED ME
THROUGH.
Terry: THAT'S AWESOME.
WHY WRESTLING?
HOW DID YOU GET INTO THAT?
IT WAS ACTUALLY AN OLDER
COUSICOUSIN OF MINE WHO
SUGGESTED IT.
I WOULD BE SITTING ON THE
SIDE LINE AND LEARNING THE
MOVEMENTS IN MY HEAD.
AND ONE DAY HE PUSHED ME ON
THE MAT AND SAID YOU'RE
GOING TO TRY IT.
I GOT BEAT UP, BUT I LOVED
IT.
Terry: WHEN YOU STARTED
WRESTLING, YOU WERE 14 YEARS
OLD?
14.
Terry: SMALLEST GUY ON
THE TEAM?
90 POUNDS.
Terry: GOODNESS.
YOU GOT BEAT A LOT?
I GOT BEAT A LOT.
Terry: WAS THAT
DISCOURAGING FOR YOU?
IT WAS VERY
DISCOURAGING.
I MADE IT TO THE CITY
TOURNAMENT, AND I WAS LAST.
SO I WAS LAST IN THE CITY OF
ARIZONA.
Terry: WHAT MADE YOU
KEEP GOING?
I WAS SO FRUSTRATED.
THAT NIGHT I LOST, AND I GOT
THE TITLE OF WORST WRESTLER
IN ARIZONA --
Terry: GREAT HONOR.
YEAH, GREAT HONOR.
I THOUGHT, I'M DONE.
FROM HERE ON OUT, I'M THE
BEST.
I WROTE DOWN ON THIS LITTLE
STICKY, THAT GOAL, I WROTE
"STATE CHAMPION ON."
AND I COULD SEE IT AND STAY
FOCUSED.
Terry: YOU HEAR A LOT
OF GREAT PEOPLE TALK ABOUT
THAT, THEY WROTE DOWN THE
VISION, AND IT MADE ALL OF
THE DIFFERENCE.
WHEN YOU STARTED WINNING,
PEOPLE STARTED COMING
AGAINST YOU, SAYING YOU HAD
AN UNFAIR ADVANTAGE.
TALK ABOUT THAT.
IT WAS A LITTLE
SURPRISING -- IT WAS VERY
SURPRISING TO ME, ACTUALLY.
Terry: YEAH.
WHEN I FIRST STARTED, I
WAS STRUGGLING THROUGH, AND
THIS LITTLE 90-POUND KID,
AND THEY'RE SAYING, POOR
GUY, HE IS JUST TRYING TO
COMPETE.
BE HAPPY YOU'RE OUT THERE.
YOU'RE DOING WELL.
AS I STARTED GETTING BETTER,
IT SWITCHED.
I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND IT.
MY COACH TOLD ME, YOU KNOW
YOU'RE GETTING SOMEWHERE
WHEN THEY START TALKING
NEGATIVE ABOUT YOU.
Terry: MY GRANDMA USED
TO SAY, JUST MAKE SURE THEY
SPELL YOUR NAME RIGHT.
I LIKE THAT.
Terry: I KNOW YOU
WALKED ON TO THE WRESTLING
TEAM AT ARIZONA STATE.
AND DURING THE TIME YOU WERE
THERE, YOUR FAMILY WENT
THROUGH SOME DIFFICULTIES.
YOU ALMOST WALKED AWAY FROM
SCHOOL.
TELL US ABOUT THAT?
I DID.
I WAS A WALK-ON AT ARIZONA
STATE AS A FRESH MAN.
I DIDN'T GET RECRUITED A
LOT.
A LOT OF SCHOOLS SAID IT WAS
TOO SMALL.
I WAS ON A FULL RIDER
SCHOLARSHIP, AND THERE WAS A
LOT OF FAMILY ISSUES GOING
ON BETWEEN MY SOPHOMORE AND
JUNIOR YEAR, AND I WAS BURNT
OUT.
MY MOM WAS STRUGGLING, AND
SHE WAS LOSING THE HOUSE,
BECAUSE MY STEPFATHER, WHO
RAISED ME, BASICALLY
DISAPPEARED.
I HAD A BAD YEAR AS A
SENIOR, AND I TOLD MYSELF IT
IS TIME TO QUIT.
I WANT TO WALK AWAY AND GO
BACK AND HELP THE FAMILY
OUT.
Terry: YOUR MOM SOUNDS
LIKE SHE IS QUITE AN AMAZING
LADY.
SHE IS QUITE AMAZING.
SHE HAD ME AT 16 YEARS OLD.
SHE WAS NEVER ONE TO TELL
ME, ARE YOU SURE?
SHE WAS ALWAYS JUST
ENCOURAGING ME.
ACTUALLY WHEN I TOLD HER I
WANTED TO QUIT WRESTLING,
AND BY DOING SO I WOULD HAVE
TO WITHDRAW FROM COLLEGE,
SHE WOULDN'T HEAR IT.
SHE SAYS, NO, GOD HAS US
HERE FOR A REASON.
YOU'LL BE FINE.
SHE WANTED ME TH TO STICK
WITH SCHOOL AND STICK WITH
MY DREAM.
Terry: IN 2011, YOU
WERE WRESTLING WITH THE
NATIONAL CHAMPION ON THE
LINE.
WALK US THROUGH EXACTLY WHAT
HAPPENED.
AH, IT WAS A SCARY THREE
DAYS FOR ME.
NATIONAL TOURNAMENT.
Terry: A LOT OF
PRESSURE?
A LOT OF PRESSURE.
I WAS UNDEFEATED GOING INTO
THE TOURNAMENT.
IT WAS 7:05 IN PHILADELPHIA,
AND I'M ABOUT TO REVEL
WRESTLE FOR THE NATIONAL
CHAMPIONSHIP.
I REMEMBER FIGHTING BACK
TEARS.
THERE WERE 20,000 PEOPLE IN
THE ARENA AND I KNEW PEOPLE
WERE WATCHING AT HOME.
WHEN I STEPPED ON THE MAT
AND MY FAMILY LOOKED AT ME,
THE FEAR KIND OF DRAINED OUT
OF ME.
I ALWAYS HAD BIBLE VERSES
THAT ENCOURAGED ME.
MATTHEW 19: 26, AND IT SAYS
"WITH MAN, THINGS ARE
IMPOSSIBLE, BUT WITH GOD,
ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE."
AND SEEING MY FAMILY THERE
AND GOD THERE, IT STARTED TO
CLICK IN MY MIND.
AND I WAS LIKE, GO OUT THERE
AND HAVE SOME FUN.
Terry: I'M READY FOR
THIS.
I'M NEVER FOR THIS.
Terry: YOU SAY YOU
NEVER PRAY FOR VICTORY.
WHAT DO YOU PRAY FOR?
I JUST PRAY FOR GOD TO
KEEP ME SAFE.
NOT JUST FOR ME, BUT FOR MY
OPPONENT.
HE'S MY BROTHER IN THIS
SPORT.
GOD HAS BLESSED ME SO MUCH
NOT JUST WITH WRESTLING, BUT
WITH FAMILY AND PEOPLE ALL
AROUND ME.
Terry: WHAT ARE YOU
DOING NOW?
I'M TRAVELING AS A
MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER.
AND I'M ON A BOOK TOUR.
I REALLY WANT TO GIVE BACK
AND HELP OTHERS.
WE ALL GO THROUGH OUR OWN
CHALLENGES, BUT THERE IS
NOTHING YOU CAN'T OVERCOME.
Terry: WHAT A STORY
YOU'VE GOT TO TELL, AND YOU
TELL IT SO WELL.
WE WANT TO THANK YOU FOR
BEING WITH US.
AND IF YOU WANT TO KNOW ALL
OF THE DETAILS OF ANTHONY'S
STORY, AND THERE ARE MANY,
AND IT IS CALLED
"UNSTOPPABLE, FROM UNDERDOG
TO CHAMPION, HOW I BECAME
UNDEFEATED."
HIS BOOK IS AVAILABLE IN
BOOKSTORES.
IT IS GREAT TO HAVE YOU
HERE.
THANK YOU.
Terry: AND ONE PERSON
ASKS, PAT, WHY ARE THERE TWO
DIFFERENT ACCOUNTS OF JUDAS
IN THE BIBLE?
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE PAT
ANSWER THAT QUESTION AND
MUCH MORE COMING UP NEXT.
Pat: OKAY.
Terry: WE HAVE A FEW
MINUTES LEFT, AND WE WANT TO
ANSWER SOME OF YOUR E-MAIL
QUESTIONS.
PAT, WILLIAM HAS SUBMITTED
THIS FIRST ONE, "PAT, WHY
ARE THERE TWO DIFFERENT
ACCOUNTS OF JUDAS' DEATH IN
THE BIBLE.
ONE SAYS HE HANGED HIMSELF,
AND THE OTHER SAYS HIS
BOWELS CAME OUT.
WHAT GIVES?"
Pat: YOU KNOW
SOMETHING --
Terry: IT IS OKAY TO
SAY IT.
Pat: I DON'T KNOW.
THE TWO THINGS COULD
NECESSARILY WORK TOGETHER.
IF SOMEBODY HANGS HIMSELF,
HE CAN FALL FORWARD.
IF YOU HANG YOURSELF, YOU
CAN FALL FORWARD AND THERE
COULD BE A RENDERING OF YOUR
BOWELS.
IT COULD HAVE HAPPENED THAT
WAY.
Terry: I DON'T KNOW.
WE WEREN'T THERE.
Pat: I REALLY DON'T
KNOW.
I DON'T KNOW.
THAT WILL BE ONE OF THOSE
THINGS YOU CAN ASK THE LORD
WHEN YOU GET TO HEAVEN.
IF YOU WANT TO.
I REALLY DON'T CARE.
Terry: THIS IS JULIO
WHO SAYS, "HOW CAN I DEVELOP
A DEEP HUNGER FOR GOD'S WORD
AND ALSO BE MORE INTIMATE
WITH JESUS?"
Pat: THE MORE TIME YOU
SPEND WITH HIM, THE MORE
INTIMATE YOU GET WITH HIM,
THE MORE YOU UNDERSTAND
HIM.
I'LL TELL YOU, WHEN YOU READ
THE WORD AND YOU REALLY READ
IT CAREFUL AND YOU SAVOR
WHAT'S THERE, AND ALL OF A
SUDDEN THE REVELATION COMES
TO YOU AND THE TREMENDOUS
TRUTH COMES TO YOU.
I WAS READING 1 CORINTHIANS
TODAY AND I WAS READING
THINGS I HASN'T READ
BEFORE.
AS YOU READ IT, IT GETS
DEEPER AND DEEPER.
IN TERMS OF JESUS, THE MORE
TIME YOU SPEND WITH HIM, THE
MORE YOU LOVE HIM.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO
SAY.
IF YOU SPEND TIME READING,
ABSORBED IN TELEVISION,
ABSORBED IN MOVIES, ABSORBED
IN DAILY LIFE, YOU WILL NOT
FALL IN LOVE WITH JESUS.
YOU WILL BE IN LOVE WITH
YOUR DAILY LIFE.
IT IS TIME.
Terry: HE PROMISES,
TOO, THAT WHEN WE DRAW NEAR
TO HIM, HE WILL DRAW NEAR TO
US.
Pat: THAT'S RIGHT,
TERRY.
THANK YOU.
Terry: VICTORIA
SAYS, "I BELIEVE IT IS GOD'S
WELL THAT I CARE FOR MY
EXTENDED FAMILY, BUT I HAVE
BEEN DOING IT FOR YEARS AND
IT MAS BEEN BECOME SO
DEMANDING AND OVERWHELMING.
IT HAS ALREADY COST ME ALL
OF MY MONEY AND NOW MY
SANITY.
WILL GOD BE MAD AT ME IF I
TELL MY FAMILY MEMBERS TO
STOP COMING TO ME FOR
HELP?"
Pat: HEAVENS NO.
THE BIBLE SAYS, "IF ANY MAN
WILL NOT WORK, LET HIM NOT
EAT."
THAT'S WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS.
THERE IS NO FLOPPY AGOPOPE
IN THERE THAT SAYS YOU'VE
GOT TO LOOK AFTER THEM.
Terry: SOMETIMES YOU
ENABLE THEM.
Pat: THAT'S RIGHT.
WHY WOULD YOU, THE POOR SOUL
THAT YOU ARE,
BE, QUOTE,"BURDENEDED WITH
THIS EXTENDED FAMILY?"
THE ANSWER IS, IF THEY DON'T
CARRY THEIR OWN WEIGHT, LET
THEM STARVE.
Terry: THEY WON'T
STEPHEN.
THEY'L -- STARVE.
THEY'LL RISE UP.
Pat: YOU ENABLE THEM.
WHAT ELSE?
Terry: MINI SAYS MY
HUSBAND DIED A FEW YEARS
AGO.
AND I MET A NEW MAN BUT HE
HAS THREE OR FOUR EX-WIVES.
AM I COMMITTING ADULTERY BY
MARRYING HIM?
Pat: IF HE HAS GOT
THREE OR FOUR WIVES, WHY
WOULD YOU THINK OF HOOKING
UP WITH A GUY LIKE THAT?
HE ISN'T STABLE.
IT IS A QUICKIE RELATIONSHIP
AND HE IS ON TO SOMETHING
ELSE.
HE IS NOT A STABLE MAN.
GET SOMEBODY WHO IS STABLE.
YOU DON'T WANT THAT.
IT WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE, IN
ADDITION TO THE ADULTERY
PART OF IT.
Terry: THAT'S ALL OF
THE TIME WE HAVE FOR RIGHT
NOW.
BUT WE SURE DO APPRECIATE
THE FACT THAT YOU SEND IN
YOUR QUESTIONS AND WE TRY TO
GET TO THEM AS OFTEN AS YOU
CAN.
Pat: TOMORROW I'M GOING
TO SHOW YOU HOW TO MAKE THE
BEST MINESTRONI SOUP.
IT IS NOT A FAMILY RECIPE.
IT IS SOMETHING I PUT
TOGETHER ABOUT TWO WEEKS
AGO.
Terry: WE'RE GETTING IT
HOT OFF THE PRESS.
Pat: IT ISN'T SOME
OLD-FASHIONED FAMILY
RECIPE.
IT IS BROTHER PAT THROWING A
BUNCH OF STUFF IN A POT.
TODAY WE LEAVE YOU WITH
THESE WORDS FROM MATTHEW:
"ANYONE WHO LISTENS TO MY
TEACHING IS WISE, LIKE A
PERSON WHO BUILDS A HOUSE ON
SOLID ROCK."
SEE YOU TOMORROW.
