TONIGHT ON "NEWSWATCH" ROMNEY
ON THE RICE.
WE WILL LOOK AT THE POST-DEBATE
SURGE FOR THE REPUBLICAN
CANDIDATE AND WHAT IT MEANS FOR
HIS CAMPAIGN BETWEEN NOW AND
NOVEMBER.
PLUS BOMB PLOTS FOILED.
HOW AUTHORITIES FOUND A MAN THAT
WAS PLANNING TO BLOW UP MORE
THAN 50 CHURCHES.
AND HOW MILITARY DOGS ARE
HELPING TO FIGHT THE WAR ON
TERROR.
ALL OF THIS AND MORE TONIGHT ON
"NEWSWATCH".
THE HUGE IMPACT IS DOMINATING
SHOWING MITT ROMNEY SURGING ON
THE STRENGTH OF WHAT MOST
OBSERVERS CALL A BIG DEBATE
VICTORY. PRESIDENT OBAMA IS
TELLING DONORS TO GET ALMOST
OBSESSIVE AS THEY LOBBY FRIENDS
AND FAMILY.
EFREM GRAHAM HAS TONIGHT'S TOP
STORY. ROMNEY'S DEBATE
PERFORMANCE SHIFTS HIM INTO THE
LEAD.
NOW POLL AFTER POLL REFLECT
ROMNEY'S IMPROVING IMAGE, A 12.0
SWING.
IN SEPTEMBER POLL, PRESIDENT
OBAMA LED ROMNEY 51-43, NOW
ROMNEY LEADS 49-45.
ROMNEY SOUGHT TO GAIN MORE
MOMENTUM, SPEAKING OUT ON
FOREIGN POLICY.
HE CRITICIZED PRESIDENT OBAMA
FOR BEING WEAK IN THE MIDDLE
EAST.
IT IS CLEAR THAT THE CONFLICT
IS HIGHER THAN WHEN THE
PRESIDENT TOOK OFFICE.
I KNOW THE PRESIDENT HOPES FOR A
PROSPEROUS HOPE.
HOPE IS NOT A STRATEGY.
WE CAN'T SUPPORT OUR FRIENDS AND
DEFEAT ENEMIES IN THE MIDDLE
EAST WHEN OUR WORDS ARE NOT
BACKED UP BY DEEDS. ON THE
HEELS OF THAT SPEECH, GOOD NEWS
FROM HIS MILITARY SUPPORTERS
SHOWING 66 PERCENT SUPPORT
ROMNEY COMPARED TO 26 PERCENT
SAID THEY WILL VOTE TO E ELECT
PRESIDENT OBAMA.
MEANWHILE THE PRESIDENT IS
STRUGGLING.
I WANT EVERYBODY TO
UNDERSTAND SOMETHING, WHAT WAS
BEING PRESENTED WASN'T
LEADERSHIP, THAT IS
SALESMANSHIP.
ROMNEY WAS WINNING IN ONE KEY
MEASURE, VOTER ENTHUSIASM.
POLITIC
POLITICAL GEORGE WASHINGTON
SURVEY TAKEN BEFORE THE DEBATE.
ROMNEY SUPPORTERS ARE MUCH MORE
LIKELY TO VOTE, ONLY 73 PERCENT
WHO SUPPORT ROMNEY ARE LIKELY TO
VOTE.
EFREM GRAHAM, CBN NEWS.
DAVID, ROMNEY'S DEBATE
PERFORMANCE REVISED HIS
CAMPAIGN.
QUESTION IS, CAN HE KEEP THIS
MOMENTUM GOING?
THERE HAS BEEN A SENSE WITHIN
THE ROMNEY CAMPAIGN, LEE, HE HAS
TO BE MITT ROMNEY.
IN OTHER WORDS LET MITT BE MITT.
THERE IS A SENSE THAT ANN ROMNEY
AND TAG ROMNEY, HIS SON HAVE
STARTED TO TAKE OVER THE
CAMPAIGN.
WHEN I SAY TAKE OVER, NOT THE
DAY-TO-DAY STRATEGIC DECISIONS,
THIS GUY IS A SGIE THAT LIKES TO
TELL STORY AND JOKE.
THEY WANT TO SEE MORE ON THE
CAMPAIGN TRAIL.
HE WAS VERY DECISIVE IN THAT
DEBATE.
NOW THEY HOPE TO TELL MORE
PERSONAL STORIES.
AND START TO LET PEOPLE KNOW
THIS IS A GUY YOU CAN TRUST.
STILL TWO MORE PRESIDENTIAL
DEBATES, THEY COULD GO EITHER
WAY.
IS THERE A CONFIDENCE WITHIN THE
ROMNEY CAMPAIGN?
WHAT IS IT LIKE WITHIN THE OBAMA
ADMINISTRATION ABOUT HOW THE
NEXT TWO PRESIDENTIAL DEBATES
MIGHT GO?
HERE IS ONE THING BOTH CAMPS
CAN AGREE ON, NEXT DEBATE COMING
UP IN NEW ENGLAND AND NEW YORK,
IS A TOWN HALL DEBATE.
TYPICALLY YOU ARE TALKING TO THE
PERSON THERE, THE QUESTIONER.
THAT IS TOUGH FOR OBAMA TO LAY
IT ON ROMNEY.
NEXT ONE IS FOREIGN POLICY.
THAT IS NOT GOING TO BODE WELL
FOR PRESIDENT OBAMA.
IT PUTS OBAMA BEHIND THE EIGHT
BALL AND FOR SURE HELPS MITT
ROMNEY.
ON MONDAY, MITT ROMNEY TURNED
HIS ATTENTION TO OVERSEAS AND
MID-TERM ELECTIONS WHY IS IT
IMPORTANT FOR HIM TO SPEAK OUT
ON FOREIGN POLICY ISSUES?
THIS IS THE ONE-TWO PUNCH,
LEE, ECONOMIC POLICIES WENT DOWN
WELL FOR MITT ROMNEY.
MITT ROMNEY IS A COMMANDER IN
CHIEF.
LISTEN TO WHAT HE HAS TO SAY.
FOREIGN POLICY, WHEN YOU
CRITICIZE THE PRESIDENT HAS THE
APOLOGIZER AND CHIEF.
IT IS HAS AN EMOTIONAL
UNDERTONE.
PEOPLE SAY HEY, STOP APOLOGIZING
FOR AMERICA.
WHEN MITT ROMNEY GOES AROUND
TALKING ABOUT THAT AND THE
PRESIDENT DOESN'T HAVE A PLAN
FOR OVERSEAS, WHETHER IT BE
SYRIA OR IRAN, THAT RESONATES
WITH THE BASE AND HELPS THEM
POLITICALLY.
DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME,
IT IS GOING TO BE AN INTERESTING
FOUR WEEKS, ELECTION, EXACTLY
FOUR WEEKS FOR TODAY.
DAVID, THANKS FOR YOUR REPORT,
WE APPRECIATE IT.
THANKS R LEE.
YOU CAN GO TO "THE BRODY
FILE," YOU CAN FIND THAT AT
CBNNEWS.COM.
STATE DEPARTMENT DOCUMENT
SHOWS U.S. EMBASSY IN LIBYA HAD
DEEP CONCERNS ABOUT SECURITY.
THE EMBASSY REQUESTED AN
EXTENSION OF A 16-MEMBER
SECURITY TEAMS DEPLOYMENT
EARLIER THIS YEAR.
WE CANNOT MAINTAIN OUR EXISTING
LEVELS OF EMBASSY OPERATIONS
WITHOUT A CONTINUED SECURITY
TEAM PRESENCE.
THE STATE DEPARTMENT SAYS IT WAS
GRANTED IN FEBRUARY.
SOME ARE QUESTIONING WHY THAT
TEAM WAS ALLOWED TO LEAD WHEN
THE FOUR-MONTH EXTENSION ENDED.
RECENT SECURITY.
AMERICA DOESN'T HAVE A
PROTESTANT -- RELIGION AND
PUBLIC LIFE.
IT HAS FALLEN TO 48 PERCENT.
NUMBER OF AMERICANS WITH NO
RELIGIOUS AFFILIATION IS UP TO
25 PERCENT.
PEOPLE DESCRIBE THEMSELVES WITH
NO RELIGION VOTE OVERWHELMING
FOR DEMOCRATS AND SUPPORT
ABORTION RIGHTS AND GAY
MARRIAGE.
POLICE HAVE ARRESTED AN
ILLINOIS MAN ACCUSED OF PLOTTING
TO BOMB 50 OKLAHOMA CHURCHES.
GARY LANE REPORTS, THE MAN HAS
SUFFERED FROM GRIEF AND MENTAL
ILLNESS FOR YEARS.
THIS IS THE OKLAHOMA MOTEL
WHERE THE ALLEGED CHURCH BOMB
PLOT WAS -- HE DIDN'T ALLOW THE
PEOPLE TO CLEAN HIS ROOM.
HE LET US RIGHT IN.
THERE WERE FIBERS ON THE FLOOR
AND I SEEN DUCT TAPE AND
SCISSORS.
MOTEL WORKERS NOTIFIED POLICE
WHO LATER DISCOVERED BOMB MAKING
MATERIALS AND WRITTEN PLANS IN
WILER'S ROOM INCLUDING A HAND
DRAWN MAP SHOWING LOCATION OF 48
AREA AREA CHURCHES.
HE WAS ARRESTED AND CHARGED WITH
VIOLATING OKLAHOMA'S STRICT
ANTITERRORISM LAW.
HE SUFFERED FROM SUBSTANCE ABUSE
AND MENTAL ILLNESS EVER SINCE
HIS PARENTS COMMITTED SUICIDE.
THE CHURCH MEMBERS EXPRESSED
UPSET AND RELIEF.
SENIOR PASTOR AT THE FIRST
CHRISTIAN CHURCH.
MY STOMACH STILL CHURNS.
I HAVE TO ADMIT IT TICKS ME OFF
A BIT.
THANKFUL TO THE HOTEL WORKERS
WHO UNCOVERED THE PLOT.
GARY LANE, CBN NEWS.
CONTROVERSY PRO-ISRAEL ADS
INSTALLED IN WASHINGTON, D.C.
METRO SYSTEM.
IN ANY WAR BETWEEN THE CIVILIZED
MAN AND SAVAGE, SUPPORT ISRAEL,
DEFEAT JIHAD.
METRO OFFICIALS SAY THEY MIGHT
SPARK VIOLENCE.
A FEDERAL JUDGE RULED THEY ARE
CONSTITUTIONAL.
THEY SINGLE OUT MUSLIMS AND
PALESTINIANS.
JERRY SANDUSKY WILL LIKELY
SPEND THE REST OF HIS LIFE IN
JAIL SENTENCED 30-60 YEARS
BEHIND BARS.
HE WAS FOUND GUILTY IN JUNE OF
45 COUNTS OF CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE.
CONVICTED OF MOLESTING 10 BOYS
OVER A 15-YEAR PERIOD.
SEVERAL OF SANDUSKY'S VICTIMS
SPOKE AS DID SANDUSKY HIMSELF.
HE DENIED HIS GUILT AND SAID IT
WAS PAINFUL TO BE AWAY FROM HIS
FAMILY.
UNDER PENNSYLVANIA LAW, HE CAN'T
BE RELEASED BEFORE HIS MINIMUM
TERM OF 30 YEARS IS UP, AT AGE
68, SANDUSKY WOULD BE IN PRISON
THE REST OF HIS LIFE. HEALTH
OFFICIALS SAY AS MANY AS 13,000
PEOPLE MAY HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO
THE TAINTED STEROID THOUGHT TO
BE BLAME FOR THE MENINGITIS
OUTBREAK.
11 PEOPLE HAVE DIED, 119 OTHERS
SICK.
TENNESSEE HAS THE MOST CASES.
LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT TEAMS
WORKED TIRELESSLY OVER THE
WEEKEND MAKING PERSONAL CONTACT
WITH 66 AT-RISK PATIENTS WHO WE
PREVIOUSLY HAD NOT BEEN ABLE TO
VERIFY.
A NEW ENGLAND COMPOUND
PHARMACY THAT MIXES ITS OWN
MEDICINES AND NOT SUGGEST TO FDA
STANDARD.
THEY WERE CONTAMINATED.
THE PHARMACY VOLUNTARILY
RECALLED ALL OF ITS PRODUCTS TO
PREVENT ANY FURTHER
CONTAMINATION.
COMING UP, THE RISE OF GOLDEN
DAWN.
HOW THE NEO NAZI GROUP WAS
GAINING MOMENTUM AND GREECE AND
WHAT THEY PLAN TO DO WITH THEIR
POLITICAL POWER.
THE FALL TELEVISION SEASON IS
SEEING AN INCREASE IN THE NUMBER
OF GAY AND BISEXUAL
CHARACTERISTICS.
IT WILL BE THE HIGHEST LEVEL
EVER, 4.4 PERCENT OF ACTORS ON
PRIME TIME PORTRAY LESBIAN, GAY
OR TRANSGENDER DARKS.
ABC HAS THE HIGHEST WITH 10 OUT
OF 194.
CBS HAS MORE GAY CHARACTERS THIS
SEASON.
JOINING US NOW BY SKYPE IS
DAN GAINER TO OF THE MEDIA
RESEARCH CENTER TO TALK ABOUT
THE TREND.
DAN, WHY ARE THE NETWORKS
PUTTING MORE GAY CHARACTERS ON
TV?
IT HAS BEEN GOING ON THE LAST
FEW YEARS.
IT IS NOT ENTERTAINMENT, IT IS
PROPAGANDA.
YOU SEE IT WITH "GLEE" TO THIS
YEAR WE GET PARTNERS IN ONE
NETWORK AND PERFECT METAPHOR IS
THE NEW NBC SHOW CALLED, "THE
NEW NORMAL."
THEY ARE SPENDING TENS OF
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO CONVINCE
US.
PERCENTAGE OF LESBIAN AND GAY
CHARACTERS IS FOUR AND A HALF
PERCENT.
DOES THAT REPRESENT MAIN STREAM
SOCIETY?
NUMBER IS LOWER THEN THAT.
THAT IS ALSO AN ARTIFICIAL
NUMBER.
THAT IS GLAD COUNTING WHAT IT
WANTS TO COUNT.
IT DOESN'T COUNT GAY COMMENTARY,
PRO-GAY PLOT LINES.
ONLY COUNTING CHARACTERS, THE
NUMBER WOULD BE MUCH BIGGER.
GAY MARRIAGE HAS BECOME MORE
ACCEPTABLE IN THE UNITED STATES
THAN IN RECENT YEARS.
DO YOU THINK THE POSITIVE
PORTRAYAL HAS PLAYED A ROLE IN
THIS?
ABSOLUTELY.
HOLLYWOOD HAS CONVINCED THE
AMERICAN PUBLIC, UP WORDS OF 20
PERCENT.
MANY FORMER HOMOSEXUALS WHO
LEFT THE LIFE STYLE.
DO YOU THINK WE'LL SEE THESE
PEOPLE?
THEY PICK CONSERVATIVE VIEWS.
ELLEN BARKEN WHO HAS GOTTEN IN
TROUBLE OF FOUL THINGS.
ON TELEVISION SHE PLAYS A
CONSERVATIVE BIGGOT.
THE TEA PARTY GRANDMOTHER WITH
THE CALLISTA GINGRICH HAIR.
SHE HATES THE IDEA HER DAUGHTER
IS A SURROGATE MOTHER FOR TWO
GAY GUYS.
THAT IS THE TAKE AWAY.
IT IS 24/7 PROPAGANDA.
WE HAVE BEEN WARNED, THANK
YOU VERY MUCH. UP NEXT, DOGS
ON PATROL, HOW THE ANIMALS ARE
BEING USED IN THE FIGHT AGAINST
TERRORISM.
THEY AREN'T ONLY MAN'S BEST
FRIEND, THEY CAN BE SOLDIER'S
BEST FRIENDS AS WELL.
DOGS PLAY AN IMPORTANT PART
ON THE WAR ON TERROR.
CHUCK HOLTON BRINGS US
TONIGHT'S FOCUS REPORT FROM A
SPECIAL HOSPITAL IN GERMANY.
NEW
NUMB ONE SET OF TROOPS ARE
INCREASING BECAUSE OF THEIR KEEN
SENSE OF SMELL, MILITARY WORKING
DOGS ARE BECOMING MORE AND MORE
CRUCIAL TO THE WORK OVERSEAS.
JOB DOESN'T COME WITHOUT RISKS,
THEY LAY IT ON THE LINE DAILY
FOR THE SAFETY OF THOSE AROUND
THEM.
WHEN SERVICEMEN AND WOMEN ARE
INJURED IN THE WAR ZONE, THEY
ARE NORMALLY TRANSPORTED TO
GERMANY WHERE THEY RECEIVE THE
BEST MEDICAL CARE ON THE PLANET.
MORE AND MORE MILITARY DOGS
WOUNDED IN THE LINE OF DUTY AS
WELL.
THEY COME HERE TO THE MILITARY
DOG CENTER IN NEARBY VOGUE LWAY,
GERMANY.
WE WILL GO MONTHS AND THEN SEE
FOUR OR FIVE.
WE SEE MORE DURING THE SUMMER
MONTHS WHICH CORRESPONDS TO WHEN
THE ACTION PICKS UP IN
AFGHANISTAN.
THEY SEE AS MANY AS 20 DOG AS
YEAR.
THIS IS THEO.
HE WAS BURNED, JUST BY THE HOT
SAND.
HE IS GETTING GREAT CARE FROM
THE VET TECHES HERE IN GERMANY.
THEO'S TREATMENT IS BANDAGE
CHANGES EVERY COUPLE DAYS,
EVENTUALLY WE'LL BE ABLE TO GO
WHERE HE GETS BANDAGE CHANGES
ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK.
HE'LL BE IN BANDAGES FOR UP TO
SIX TO EIGHT WEEKS, DEPENDING ON
HOW WELL HE HEALS SO HE CAN
PROTECT THE PADS FROM FURTHER
DAMAGE.
THESE MILITARY DOGS WORK IN
DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS
CONDITIONS.
THEIR MISSION, TO FIND AND
DISARM EXPLOSIVES.
BOTH DOGS AND HANDERS HEAD TO
THE WAR ZONE.
SPECIALIST WADE MORRIS IS HIS
PARTNER.
I STARTED OFF INFANTRY.
IT WAS A SELECTION PROCESS YOU
HAD TO GO THROUGH FROM THERE, WE
DID THREE MONTHS AND THEN OVER
TO AFGHANISTAN.
THEIR WORKING CONDITIONS CAN
BE BRUTAL, SUMMER TEMPERATURES
TOPPING 110° WHICH CAN LEAD TO
INJURY.
WE WERE WALKING OUT TO A
VILLAGE LOOKING FOR WEAPONS CASH
SHAYS.
IT GOT TOO HOT.
OUT IN THE SAND, STARTED BURNING
HIS PAWS UP.
NO SHADE.
WHEN WE CAME BACK FROM MISSION,
HE WENT INTO HIS KENNEL, HE PUT
HIS PAWS IN HIS WATER.
WE HAD TO GET HIM MED VAKED.
THEO RECEIVED THE SAME
TREATMENT AS ANY OTHER.
THE CARE HAS BEEN FANTASTIC.
THEO IS MOVING AROUND.
FELLOW VETERANS FEEL A SENSE
OF COMRADERY AND SUPPORT FEW
OTHERS SHARE.
WITH MILITARY WORKING DOGS, THE
PHRASE IS A DOG IS A MAN'S BEST
FRIEND IS TAKEN TO A WHOLE NEW
LEVEL.
HE IS MY BEST BUD.
MOST DOGS INJURED IN COMBAT
ARE ABLE TO RETURN TO WORK AFTER
RECEIVING CARE IN GERMANY.
WHEN A DOG IS TOO INJURED TO
RETURN, THEY ARE PUT UP FOR
ADOPTION. 341ST SQUADRON HAS
AN ADOPTION SITE.
A LOT OF THEM ADOPT THE DOGS.
ONCE YOU FIND AN EXPLOSIVE,
THAT IS WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT.
MILITARY DOGS AREN'T ELIGIBLE
FOR MEDALS, AS HUMAN COUNTER
PARTS DO, THEY GET A TENNIS
BALL.
I AM CHUCK HOLTON.
