IT WAS ALMOST LIKE I
WAS STARRING IN AN EPISODE
OF THE TWILIGHT ZONE.
Lee: BLINDSIDED BY
BAD NEWS.
ONE PATIENT'S DIAGNOSIS.
I SAID HOW LARGE IS
LARGE, AND HE SAID
GRAPEFRUIT SIZE.
IT WAS CRUSHING THIS MAJOR
ARTERY.
Lee: AND HIS FIGHT
FOR LIFE.
WORDS CAN'T DESCRIBE
THE FEELING.
¶¶¶
Pat: WELCOME, LADIES
AND GENTLEMEN.
I'M PLEASED TO REPORT ON
THIS DAY AFTER THE
REPUBLIC STILL STANDS, AND
WE STILL HAVE A NATION.
Terry: WE STILL HAVE
A NATION.
Pat: THE CARS ARE
STILL ON THE ROAD, THE
STOCK MARKET IS STILL
WORKING, AND PEOPLE CAN
STILL BUY GROCERIES IN THE
GROCERY MARKET.
Terry: SOME PEOPLE.
THE PEOPLE IN THE EAST --
Pat: YES, THERE IS A
STORM COMING TO THE EAST.
IT IS THE MOST EXPENSIVE
RACE IN HISTORY.
EACH SIDE SPENT AT LEAST
$1 BILLION ON TELEVISION
COMMERCIALS.
AND WHEN IT IS OVER, GUESS
WHAT?
NOTHING IS CHANGED.
THE SAME CONTROL OF THE
HOUSE IS IN THE
REPUBLICANS' HANDS, AND
THE CONTROL OF THE SENATE
IN THE DEMOCRATS' HANDS,
AND THE CONTROL OF THE
WHITE HOUSE IS STILL IN
THE HANDS OF BARACK OBAMA.
AND WE'VE GOT SOME IN
SIGHTS AS TO HOW HE DID
IT.
Terry: WE HAVE TWO
REPORTS FROM CBN NEWS ON
THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE.
WE'RE GOING TO START WITH
JENNIFER WISHON WITH THE
OBAMA CAMPAIGN IN CHICAGO.
Reporter: WHEN
AMERICANS WOKE UP ON
ELECTION MORNING, THEY HAD
NO IDEA WHICH SIDE WOULD
END UP CELEBRATING.
DESPITE A WEAK ECONOMY.
AND VOCAL CRITICS OF HIS
POLICIES BOTH AT HOME AND
ABROAD, BARACK OBAMA WILL
SERVE AN HISTORIC SECOND
TERM AS PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES.
President Obama:
TONIGHT, IN THIS ELECTION,
YOU, THE AMERICAN PEOPLE,
REMINDED US THAT WHILE OUR
ROAD HAS BEEN HARD, WHILE
OUR JOURNEY HAS BEEN LONG,
WE HAVE PICKED OURSELVES
UP.
WE HAVE FOUGHT OUR WAY
BACK.
AND WE KNOW IN OUR HEARTS
THAT FOR THE UNITED STATES
OF AMERICA, THE BEST IS
YET TO COME.
[APPLAUSE AND CHEERS]
HE IS SO PASSIONATE.
AND THIS PASSION GOES TO
OTHER PEOPLE AND OTHER
COUNTRIES.
WE'RE GOING TO WORK
TOGETHER.
President Obama: WE
ARE, AND FOREVER WILL BE,
THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA, AND TOGETHER,
WITH YOUR HELP AND GOD'S
GRACE, WE WILL CONTINUE
OUR JOURNEY FORWARD AND
REMIND THE WORLD JUST WHY
IT IS THAT WE LIVE IN THE
GREATEST NATION ON EARTH!
THANK YOU, AMERICA!
[APPLAUSE AND CHEERS]
THIS IS MY FIRST TIME
COMING TO ANY KIND OF
CAMPAIGN CELEBRATION LIKE
THIS, AND I'M JUST HAPPY
FOR THE NATION.
I'M HAPPY FOR, YOU KNOW,
OUR PRESIDENT.
I'M JUST LOOKING FORWARD
TO THESE NEXT FOUR YEARS.
Reporter: RIGHT AWAY
PRESIDENT OBAMA WILL HAVE
TO DO SOMETHING HE DIDN'T
DO SO WELL DURING HIS
FIRST TERM, WORK WITH A
REPUBLICCAN-CONTROLLED
HOUSE.
IF THE PRESIDENT HOPES TO
REUNITE A DEEPLY DIVIDED
NATION.
REPORTING FROM
PRESIDENT-ELECT BARACK
OBAMA'S VICTORY PARTY IN
CHICAGO, JENNIFER WISHON,
CBN NEWS.
David: THIS IS DAVID
BRODY AT ROMNEY
HEADQUARTERS.
THEY WERE HOPING TO GO OUT
WITH A BANG, INSTEAD THEY
WENT OUT WITH A WHIMPER.
MITT ROMNEY COMING ON
STAGE TO THANK SUPPORTERS
AND CALL FOR UNITY.
AT A TIME LIKE THIS, WE
CAN'T RISK POLITICAL
BICKERING AND BIPARTISAN.
Reporter: THEY WERE
HOPING FOR A CELEBRATION,
AND INSTEAD IT WAS HUGS
AND TEARS.
IT IS TIME TO COME
TOGETHER AS A COUNTRY AND
START WORKING FOR THE
POSITIVE THINGS THE
PRESIDENT SAYS HE WANTS TO
DO.
WE WILL CONTINUE TO
SUPPORT PRESIDENT OBAMA
AND HOPE HE MAKES GOOD
CHOICES THE NEXT FOUR
YEARS.
IF NOT, THAT SOMEBODY
BETTER COMES IN TO TAKE
CARE OF OUR COUNTRY.
Reporter: MITT ROMNEY
GOT CLOSER THAN JOHN
MCCAIN DID FOUR YEARS AGO,
BUT CLEARLY THE ANTI-OBAMA
VOTE WAS JUST NOT ENOUGH.
AND THERE WILL BE
QUESTIONS AS TO WHETHER OR
NOT MITT ROMNEY WAS REALLY
THE RIGHT CANDIDATE ALL
LONG.
DAVID BRODY, CBN NEWS, IN
BOSTON HEADQUARTERS.
Terry: WHAT DO YOU
THINK HAPPENED HERE?
Pat: WELL, FIRST OF
ALL, THE DEMOCRATS DID --
TOOK A PAGE FROM THEIR
PlayBook, IF YOU CAN'T
RUN ON YOUR RECORD, ATTACK
YOUR OPPONENT, AND SHOW HE
IS WORSE THAN YOU ARE.
AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT
THEY DID.
THEY STARTED LAST SPRING,
HAMMERING AT MITT ROMNEY.
HE WAS A POLITOCRAT.
HE HAD EXPORTED JOBS TO
CHINA.
HE WAS OUT OF TOUCH.
HE WAS ONE OF THE 1%.
AND IT WENT ON AND ON AND
ON.
AND THE ROMNEY PEOPLE
PLAYED ROPE-A-DOPE.
THEY DIDN'T ANSWER OF IT.
THEY LET IT HANG.
Terry: WHAT DO YOU
THINK WAS THE THINKING ON
THAT?
Pat: THEY WOULD HAVE
THE BIG WAR CHEST FOR THE
LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS.
AND, YOU KNOW, THEY LET
THE REST OF THE RACE GO.
THE DEMOCRATS DID THE SAME
THING TO BOB DOLE A FEW
YEARS AGO.
THEY DEFINED HIM, BEAT HIM
UP, AND BY THE TIME OF THE
ELECTION, HE WAS FINISHED.
IT IS THE SAME THING HERE.
ROMNEY WAS LOOKED UPON AS
SOMEBODY WHO IS GOING TO
RAISE EVERYBODY'S TAXES.
HE IS GOING TO HAVE
$5 TRILLION IN WHATEVER IT
WAS TAX CUTS.
IT WAS ALL MADE UP.
Terry: RATHER THAN
THE CONDITIONS THAT HAVE
BEEN OF CONCERN TO PEOPLE,
BEING A CATALYST FOR
CHANGE, THEY REALLY ALMOST
IGNITED A FEAR IN PEOPLE
AND THEY WERE AFRAID TO
MOVE.
Pat: EXACTLY.
AND THE OTHER THINGS THAT
IS SO IMPORTANT IS ROMNEY
DIDN'T CONNECT WITH THE
HISPANICS.
THE HISPANICS ARE THE
LARGEST GROWING MINORITY
IN THE UNITED STATES.
BEFORE LONG, THEY MAY
BECOME THE MAJORITY.
AND YOU LOOK AT TEXAS, NEW
MEXICO, ARIZONA,
CALIFORNIA, AND THEN OF
COURSE FLORIDA AND NEW
YORK CITY AND ALL THESE
PLACES.
THEY'RE LOADED WITH
HISPANICS.
WE'VE GOT 12 MILLION
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS IN THE
COUNTRY, AND NOBODY HAS
DONE ANYTHING ABOUT
IMMIGRATION REFORM.
AND THAT'S --
Terry: THAT ALMOST
WASN'T AN ISSUE.
Pat: WELL, IT SHOULD
HAVE BEEN AN ISSUE.
AND THEN UNDERLYING ALL OF
THIS, THERE WAS A BARAGE
OF RADIO SAYING THAT
ROMNEY WAS AGAINST A
WOMAN'S RIGHT TO CHOOSE AN
ABORTION, THAT HE WAS
GOING TO DENY ALL OF THIS
AND DENY THAT.
THEY FILLED THE AIRWAVES
WITH LIES, ONE AFTER THE
OTHER, AND HAMMERED HIM.
NO ANSWER.
WELL, SO YOU HAVE AN
ELECTION AND PEOPLE -- I
WANT TO GIVE YOU SOMETHING
THAT I THINK WILL
ENCOURAGE YOU.
I WAS READING TODAY IN
PALM 118, AND HERE IS
SOMETHING I THINK YOU
OUGHT TO MARK UP.
IT IS BETTER TO TRUST IN
THE LORD THAN TO PUT
CONFIDENCE IN MAN.
IT IS BETTER TO TRUST IN
THE LORD THAN TO PUT
CONFIDENCE IN PRINCES.
I THINK OUR CONFIDENCE
NEEDS TO BE IN ALMIGHTY
GOD, NO WHOEVER IS IN
OFFICE.
POLITICIANS WILL
DISAPPOINT YOU.
THEY'LL FAIL, AND THEY'RE
FALLIBLE HUMAN BEINGS, SO
KEEP THAT IN MIND.
EARLIER THIS YEAR, IT
LOOKED LIKE THE
REPUBLICANS COULD TAKE
BACK THE SENATE, AT LEAST
THAT'S WHAT OUR GUY, JOHN
WAGGE TOLD US.
BY CHARLENE ISRAEL SAID
THAT ISN'T EXACTLY WHAT
HAPPENED.
Reporter: REPUBLICANS
TOOK A BAD BRUISING IN
SENATE RACES ACROSS THE
COUNTRY.
THE G.O.P. NEEDED TO GAIN
FOUR SEATS TO TAKE
CONTROL.
INSTEAD, THEY LOST SEATS.
EVANGELICALS DID THEIR
PARTS AND SHOWED UP BIG AT
THE POLLS.
EVANGELICALS WERE THE
LARGER SHARE OF THE
ELECTORATE THAN THEY'VE
EVER BEEN.
Reporter: BUT THERE
WAS A STRONG SHOWING BY
MINORITY AND WOMEN VOTERS,
INCLUDING A LARGE NUMBER
OF HISPANICS.
YOU CAN'T HAVE
HISPANICS ALONG THE I-4
CORRIDOR WALK IN BY THE
TENS OF THOUSANDS, IN
OSIOLA COUNTY, IN
HILLSBURROUGH COUNTY.
THE PRESIDENT WON 44% OF
THE HISPANIC VOTE.
MITT ROMNEY WAS WINNING
33%.
Reporter: THAT WAS
KEY IN THE ELECTION AND
DEMOCRATS HOLDING ON TO
THE SENATE.
WHAT SURPRISES ME IS
THE ABILITY OF PRESIDENT
OBAMA AND THE DEMOCRATS TO
TURN OUT A HUGE VOTE.
I DIDN'T THINK PRESIDENT
OBAMA, BEING SUCH AN
UNSUCCESSFUL PRESIDENT,
AND THE DEMOCRATS, SEEMING
TO LACK ENTHUSIASM, WOULD
BE ABLE TO DO THIS.
BUT THEY DID.
Reporter: JIM CAIN
DEFEATED HIS OPPONENT.
IN THE CLOSELY-WATCHED
MISSOURI RACE, TODD AKIN
LOST THE CHANCE TO OUST
CLAIRE MCCASKILL.
A VERBAL GAP SEVERELY
DAMAGED HIS CANDIDACY, AND
REPUBLICAN LEADERS CALLED
ON HIM TO ABANDON THE
RACE.
SCOTT BROWN FELL TO
ELIZABETH WARREN.
BROWN SHOCKED THE NATION
IN 2010 WHEN HE WON THE
SEAT HELD BY DEMOCRAT TED
KENNEDY FOR 47 YEARS.
WARREN IS THE FIRST WOMAN
TO HOLD A SENATE SEAT IN
MASSACHUSETTS.
THIS VICTORY BELONGS TO
YOU.
Reporter: ALL
TOGETHER, DEMOCRATS WON
EIGHT OF THE 11 TOSS-UP
RACES IN THE SENATE.
MEANWHILE, TEA PARTY
CANDIDATES DID NOT DO WELL
IN THIS ELECTION.
HOUSE REPUBLICAN ALLEN
WEST WAS DEFEATED, BUT
PARTY FAVORITE MICHELE
BACHMANN DID WIN HER BID
TO CONTINUE TO REPRESENT
MINNESOTA'S SIXTH
CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT,
BEATING OUT JIM GRAVE.
CHARLENE ISRAEL, CBN NEWS.
Pat: HERE TO TALK
ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED IN
THAT CONGRESSIONAL
ELECTION, IS CBN NEWS
POLITICAL EDITOR JOHN
WAGGE.
JOHN, YOU MISSED IT?
I MISSED IT, PAT.
Pat: WHAT HAPPENED?
WAS IT WISHFUL THINKING?
I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS.
I WAS OUT ON THE LIMB WITH
A LOT OF OTHER PUNDITS,
AND MAYBE WE BROKE THE
LIMB OFF TOGETHER.
BUT UNDERESTIMATING THE
DEMOCRATS' GROUND GAIN AND
OVERESTIMATING HOW
DISPERIODED THEY --
DISSPIRITED THEY MIGHT
HAVE BEEN.
THE WHOLE IDEA OF CLASS
WARFARE WORKED.
AS YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT
ROMNEY BEING CAPITAL AND A
PLUTOCRAT, AND IT WORKED
ALL THE WAY DOWN THE
SENATE SEAT.
A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT
GROUPS RESPONDED TO THAT,
SINGLE WOMEN, MINORITIES,
AND THE CLASSIC DEMOCRATIC
BASE, AND THAT WAS ENOUGH
TO GET THE GROUND GAME
GOING IN A BIG WAY.
Pat: IS THAT
SOMETHING YOU'VE LEARNED
FROM THE EXIT POLLS, OR IS
IT SOMETHING MORE?
THAT, AND ONE OF THE
KEY FIGURES FROM THE EXIT
POLLS, BY 53% TO 38%
MARGIN, PEOPLE THOUGHT
BUSH WAS MORE TO BLAME FOR
THE ECONOMIC WOES FOUR
YEARS AFTER HE WAS
PRESIDENT THAN OBAMA WAS.
THEY JUST DIDN'T TAG
PRESIDENT OBAMA WITH THE
ECONOMIC TROUBLES THAT WE
HAVE, EVEN THOUGH HE ADDED
$5 TRILLION TO THE DEBT.
SO THERE WERE A LOT OF
ELEMENTS AT IT.
Pat: HE IS ONE
BRILLIANT ORITOR, AND HE
IS A SNOW-JOB ARTIST.
HE REALLY IS GOOD.
AND PEOPLE BOUGHT THE LIE.
HE IS.
HE IS.
PAT, YOU WERE TALKING
EARLIER ABOUT THE HISPANIC
VOTE.
I'M WONDERING WHAT YOU
THINK ABOUT HOW
REPUBLICANS NEED TO
ADDRESS THAT?
DO THEY NEED TO HAVE AN
HISPANIC TO REPRESENT THE
PARTY?
OR CAN IT BE IN OTHER
WAYS?
Pat: YOU'VE GOT MARCO
RUBIO THE RISING STAR, AND
NICKY HAYLEY, VERY
ATTRACTIVE GOVERNORS, WHO
MIGHT BECOME THE FACE OF
THE MINORITIES.
AND TED CRUZ ELECTED
LAST NIGHT.
Pat: IN THE SENATE.
AND HE COULD RISE UP TO
THAT WAY.
BUT THERE IS NO QUESTION
REPUBLICANS HAVE EMBRACED
THESE PEOPLE IN TERMS OF
THEIR CANDIDATES, BUT THE
RHETORIC HAS BEEN SO
ANTI-IMMIGRANT.
AND REMEMBER THE DEBATES
WITH RICK PERRY.
HE WAS ATTACKED FOR GIVING
SOME SCHOLARSHIP AID TO
THE CHILDREN OF ILLEGAL
IMMIGRANTS.
HE SAID, WHAT CAN I DO?
I'VE GOT THESE PEOPLE AND
I WANT TO HELP THEM.
YES.
ON THE OTHER HAND, THEY
CAN'T COMPROMISE THEIR
MESSAGE CONCERNING
AMNESTY.
IT HAS TO BE DONE WITH
COMPASSION IN SOME WAY,
SHAPE, OR FORM.
Pat: IT HAS GOT TO
COMPROMISE.
THIS I'M RIGID, BLAH,
BLAH, BLAH.
JAY SECOLO IS WITH US.
ARE YOU GOING TO BE THE
POWER OF STREN --
STRENGTH?
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
I'M GOING TO HAVE A
MEETING THIS MORNING, PAT,
WITH OUR OFFICES AROUND
THE COUNTRY.
WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT
LOOKING AT SPECIFICALLY
MOVES BY THE PRESIDENT,
WHICH I THINK YOU WILL SEE
COMING FORWARD.
I MENTIONED THIS LAST
NIGHT ON THE FORECAST.
THAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE
COMING FROM THE PRESIDENT.
HE WILL DO BY EXECUTIVE
VIA WHAT HE CAN'T GET DONE
BY THE HOUSE.
YOU WILL SEE A LOT OF
POLICIES AND REGULATIONS
PUT FORWARD THAT ARE VERY
DAMAGING TO FREEDOM AND
LIBERTY, AND WE'RE GOING
TO BE OPPOSING THOSE.
BUT THE REPUBLICANS IN THE
SENATE MAY SHOW SOME
BACKBONE.
THEY BETTER BE TOUGH ON
ISSUES LIKE JUDICIAL
LEGISLATION.
THE COURT OF APPEALS --
THOSE COULD VERY WELL GO
THE OTHER WAY NOW.
I THINK WE HAVE TO BE
COGNIZANT OF THE PLAYING
FIELD WE'RE NOW ON.
WHAT YOU JUST SAID ABOUT
IMMIGRATION, PAT, WE HAVE
GOT TO FIGURE OUT A WAY,
YES, TO SECURE OR BORDERS,
BUT FIGURE OUT A WAY TO
WORK THROUGH THIS
IMMIGRATION ISSUE.
I THINK IT REALLY HURT THE
PARTY IN FLORIDA, THE
REPUBLICANS, AND THE END
RESULT IS THIS COUNTRY
NEEDS TO GET THIS ISSUE
BEHIND THEM.
THAT IS ONE LEGISLATIVE
AGENDA ITEM I SUSPECT THAT
PRESIDENT OBAMA IS GOING
TO PUT FORWARD.
IT WAS MARCO RUBIO WHO HAD
THE PLAN READY TO LAUNCH,
AND PRESIDENT OBAMA TRIED
TO UPSTAGE HIM ON IT.
BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY,
I THINK IT NEEDS TO BE
WORKED THROUGH.
Pat: CHUCK SCHUMER
AND OTHER DEMOCRATS ON THE
JUDICIARY COMMITTEE WERE
BRUTAL ON OUTSTANDING
PICKS FOR CIRCUIT COURT --
BRUTAL ON THEM, AND THEY
GOT AWAY WITH IT.
YUP.
Pat: ARE THERE ANY
NUMBERS OF THE REPUBLICAN
MINORITY IN THE JUDICIARY
WHO HAVE GOT INTESTINAL
FORTITUDE --
BACKBONE?
Pat: YES.
SENATOR JOHN CORDON,
OUR FRIEND FROM TEXAS,
NEEDS TO SHOW SOME
SIGNIFICANT LEADERSHIP ON
THAT FRONT.
I THINK WE'RE IN A
DIFFERENT SITUATION.
I THINK THE REPUBLICANS
THOUGHT THEY WOULD HAVE A
SIGNIFICANT LEAD.
JOHN WAGGE MENTIONED TED
CRUZ.
THERE IS A SUPER STAR ON
THE RISE.
I'VE KNOWN TED FOR A LONG
TIME.
HE IS A TREMENDOUS LAWYER,
A TREMENDOUS SUPREME COURT
LAWYER, NOW A UNITED
STATES SENATOR.
HE IS HISPANIC.
HE IS AN EYE WE SHOULD
KEEP OUR EYE ON.
I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED TO
SEE A SENATOR CRUZ PLAYING
A VERY SIGNIFICANT ROLE
FOUR YEARS FROM NOW.
Pat: LAST QUESTION:
WE HAVE WHAT LOOKS LIKE A
TENUOUS CONSERVATIVE
MAJORITY ON A NUMBER OF
ISSUES ON THE SUPREME
COURT.
YEAH.
Pat: WHAT SEATS ARE
UP FOR GRAB?
OR ARE THINGS GOING TO BE
PRETTY MUCH IN STATUS QUO
FOR THE NEXT FOUR YEARS?
THE FACT OF THE MATTER
IS WE'VE GOT SOME JUSTICES
THAT ARE GETTING OLDER,
AND SO MAY NOW WANT TO
RETIRE, AND I THINK YOU
COULD SEE SOME
REPLACEMENTS.
I SENT OUT AN E-MAIL --
ONE OF OUR STAFF SAID AN
E-MAIL SAYING THIS IS
GOING TO MAKE OUR WORK AT
THE SUPREME COURT A LOT
MORE DIFFICULT.
AND THE FACT OF THE MATTER
IS THIS, WE'VE BEEN
LITIGATING THESE CASES FOR
25 YEARS.
WE'VE HAD VERY LIBERAL
COURTS, AND WE STILL END
UP OFTENTIMES ON ACLJ
CASES WITH DECISIONS THAT
ARE 9-0 IN OUR FAVOR.
WE CAN GET THE LIBERAL
JUSTICES.
YOU'VE GOT TO BE CAREFUL
WHAT YOU TAKE UP THERE.
DEFENSIVE DENIALS WHEN
YOU'VE WON A CASE.
YOU'VE GOT TO FIGHT IT
OUT.
I THINK WE HAVE ANOTHER
ONE COMING UP IN THE NEXT
TERM.
I'M OPTMISTIC IN A CASE
LIKE THAT WE COULD GET ALL
NINE.
WE'RE GOING TO NOT GIVE
UP.
WE'VE GOT TO FIGHT THE
GOOD FIGHT.
WE'VE GOT TO DEAL WITH THE
FACTS AS THEY ARE.
Pat: I APPRECIATE
THAT.
I CONTINUE TO TRUST IN THE
LORD.
JOHN, KEEP LOOKING AT IT.
WE'VE GOT ANOTHER ELECTION
COMING UP IN TWO YEARS.
ALL TOO SOON.
Pat: I'LL TELL YOU, A
LOT OF US MISSED THIS ONE.
I MUST SAY I MISSED THE
PRESIDENTIAL.
I THOUGHT -- FIRST OF ALL,
I THOUGHT HILLARY CLINTON
WAS GOING TO WIN BEFORE.
I THOUGHT SHE WOULD BEAT
OBAMA.
AND I THOUGHT OBAMA WHAT
LEAD.
HE HAD THE NUMBERS IN
THE POLLS FOR 10 STRAIGHT
DAYS BEFORE THE HURRICANE
HIT.
Pat: WE'LL SEE WHAT
HAPPENS.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE
REPUBLIC STILL STANDS, AND
GOVERNMENT BY THE PEOPLE
AND FOR THE PEOPLE SHALL
NOT PERISH FROM THE EARTH.
AND WE'RE DOING IT.
VOTERS ALSO MADE HISTORY
LAST NIGHT ON OTHER
ISSUES, INCLUDING
MARRIAGE.
LEE WEBB HAS THAT STORY
FROM THE CBN NEWS, LEE?
Lee: PAT, VOTERS IN
MAINE AND MARYLAND BECAME
THE FIRST TO LEGALIZE
SAME-SEX MARRIAGE BY A
BALLOT MEASURE.
AND VOTERS IN MINNESOTA
HAVE REJECTED A
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT
THAT WOULD BAN IT.
HEATHER CELLS HAS THAT
STORY.
Reporter: FOUR STATES
CONSIDERED THE ISSUE OF
MARRIAGE ON TUESDAY.
THE QUESTION: WOULD THEY
CONTINUE A 32-STATE STREAK
IN WHICH VOTERS HAVE
CONSISTENTLY UPHELD
TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE?
THE ANSWER: NO.
IN MARYLAND, VOTERS
APPROVED A NEW LAW
LEGALIZING SAME-SEX
MARRIAGE.
IN MAINE, VOTERS REVERSED
THEMSELVES.
JUST THREE YEARS AGO, THEY
VOTED AGAINST GAY
MARRIAGE.
LAST NIGHT THEY APPROVED
IT.
IN MINNESOTA, VOTERS
REJECTED A CONSTITUTIONAL
AMENDMENT BANNING SAME-SEX
MARRIAGE, BUT A STATE LAW
OUTLAWING IT REMAINS.
WASHINGTON STATE VOTERS
ALSO CONSIDERED A MEASURE
TO LEGALIZE IT, BUT
RESULTS ARE STILL PENDING.
TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE
SUPPORTERS ACKNOWLEDGED
THE BATTLE WAS UPHILL ALL
THE WAY.
THESE ARE DEEP BLUE
STATES, WASHINGTON,
MINNESOTA, MARYLAND, AND
MAINE, AND THE SUPPORTERS
OF MARRIAGE WERE OUTSPENT
ROUGHLY 8-1.
Reporter: MAINE AND
MARYLAND BECOME THE
SEVENTH AND EIGHTH STATES
TO LEGALIZE GAY MARRIAGE.
THIS MORNING, TRADITIONAL
MARRIAGE ACTIVIST TERRY
JACKSON SAYS THE G.O.P.
SHOULD HAVE DONE MORE.
THE G.O.P. BASICALLY
SAID YOU TRADITIONAL
CHURCH FOLKS, YOU'RE ON
YOUR OWN.
WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT IN
OUR CAMPAIGN PLATFORM, BUT
WE'RE NOT GOING TO FUND
YOU, WE'RE NOT GOING TO
SUPPORT YOU.
AND I THINK THEY LOST THE
WHOLE THING BECAUSE OF
THAT LACK OF ENGAGEMENT
AND RESPONSE ON THESE
ISSUES.
Reporter: THE OUTCOME
OF THESE VOTES COULD
INFLUENCE THE SUPERIOR
COURT.
IT WILL SOON DECIDE
WHETHER TO TAKE UP CASES
THAT CHALLENGE THE FEDERAL
DEFINITION OF MARRIAGE,
AND MANY BELIEVE THAT THE
COURT IS WATCHING, TRYING
TO DETERMINE WHETHER
PUBLIC ATTITUDES ON THIS
ISSUE HAVE SHIFTED
SIGNIFICANTLY.
HEATHER CELLS, CBN NEWS.
Lee: AND THERE ARE
SOME OTHER BALLOT
INITIATIVES TO REPORT.
WASHINGTON AND COLORADO
BECAME THE FIRST STATES TO
LEGALIZE THE RECREATIONAL
USE OF MARIJUANA.
AND MASSACHUSETTS VOTERS
HAVE APPROVED ITS USE FOR
MEDICAL PURPOSES.
BUT VOTERS IN THAT STATE
APPEAR TO HAVE REJECTED A
VOTE TO LEGALIZE
PHYSICIAN-ASSISTED SUICIDE
FOR THE TERMINALLY ILL.
FOLKS IN NEW YORK AND NEW
JERSEY BRACING FOR MORE
ROUGH WEATHER.
A NOR'EASTER IS SET TO HIT
THE AREA DEVASTATED BY
SUPERSTORM SANDY.
THEY'RE BEING TOLD TO
EVACUATE IN CASE OF MORE
FLOODING.
BUT MANY ARE STAYING IN
PLACE.
THEY DON'T WANT LOOTERS TO
STEAL WHAT LITTLE THEY
HAVE LEFT.
WEATHER EXPERTS SAY THIS
SYSTEM IS WEAKER THAN
ANTICIPATED, BUT IT WILL
STILL CAUSE HIGH WINDS AND
POSSIBLE FLOODING.
REVEREND BILLY GRAHAM
TURNS 94 TODAY.
HIS DAUGHTER CREDITS HIS
LONG LIFE TO PRAYER.
SHE HOPES PEOPLE CONTINUE
TO PRAY FOR HER FATHER.
PREPARATIONS UNDER WAY FOR
A BILLY GRAHAM EVANGELICAL
BROADCAST WHEN HE TURNS
95
HE IS CELEBRATING HIS
BIRTHDAY TODAY WITH ABOUT
20 FAMILY MEMBERS AT HIS
HOME IN NORTH CAROLINA.
HE ASKED FOR A BIRTHDAY
MENU OF HOTDOGS AND APPLE
PIE.
I KNOW YOU JOIN US ALL
HERE AT CBN AT WISHING
BILLY GRAHAM A HAPPY
94th BIRTHDAY.
Pat: I LOVE HIM, I
ADMIRE HIM, AND I
APPRECIATE HIM MORE THAN
ANYBODY CAN IMAGINE.
BUT HE HAS HAD TERRIBLE
HEALTH.
I WAS WITH HIM RIGHT AFTER
THE BERLIN WALL FELL.
WE WERE OVER THERE
TOGETHER.
AND HE WAS TELLING ME SOME
OF THE THINGS THAT HAVE
HAPPENED, BROKEN BONES AND
ALL SORTS OF ILLNESS AND
FALLS THAT HE'S HAD.
AND IT'S JUST -- I
REMEMBER DURING THE NEW
YORK CRUSADE, IT WAS KIND
OF LIKE THIS WAS MY LAST.
THAT WAS IN THE LATE
1950s, AND HE IS STILL
GOING STRONG.
Terry: HE HAS
WEATHERED ALL OF THOSE
CHALLENGES AND REMAINS A
VOICE IN OUR CULTURE.
THAT IS WONDERFUL.
Pat: PRAY FOR HIM,
LOVE HIM, AND WE SALUTE A
DEAR FRIEND AND A CHAMPION
OF THE FAITH.
Terry: INDEED.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
UP NEXT, A YOUNG MAN WITH
CHEST PAIN GETS A BIG
SHOCK FROM HIS DOCTOR.
GETTING THAT NEWS AFTER
HAVING NEVER BEEN SICK
BEFORE IN MY LIFE, IT WAS
ALMOST LIKE I WAS STARRING
IN AN EPISODE OF TWILIGHT
ZONE.
Terry: SEE HOW THIS
MAN BEAT CANCER AGAINST
ALL ODDS.
PLUS, WE'RE GOING TOING
PRAYING FOR YOU AND YOUR
NEEDS, SO STAY WITH US.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
Terry: DANIEL HAD A
TUMOUR IN HIS CHEST THAT
WAS SO LARGE IT WAS
CRUSHING HIS PULMONARY
ARTERY AND SUFFOCATING
HIM.
DOCTORS SAID HE COULD BE
DEAD IN TWO WEEKS OR TWO
MONTHS.
BUT BEFORE THE TUMOR,
DANIEL HAD NEVER BEEN SICK
A DAY IN HIS LIFE.
Reporter: 27-YEAR-OLD
DANIEL MESINA NEVER SAW IT
COMING.
ANY DEVELOPED PAIN IN
MY CHEST AND IT WAS
RADIATING DOWN MY RIGHT
SIDE INTO MY RIGHT ARM.
Reporter: HE DROVE
HIMSELF TO THE EMERGENCY
ROOM AND THE DOCTOR
ORDERED X-RAYS AND C.T.
SCANS.
THE DOCTOR CAME BACK
AND SAID WE FOUND
SOMETHING, AND HE SAID IT
IS A RATHER LARGE IN YOUR
CHEST.
AND I SAID HOW LARGE IS
LARGE?
AND HE SAID IT WAS
GRAPEFRUIT-SIZED.
HE SAID YOU NEED TO GET IT
EVALUATED IMMEDIATELY.
I WENT AND GOT A BIOPSY,
AND WHEN THE DOCTOR CALLED
ME, IT WAS AS HE FEARED,
LYMPHATIC CANCER.
IT WAS SHOCKING.
IT WAS SURREAL.
GETTING THAT NEWS AFTER
HAVING NEVER BEEN SICK
BEFORE IN MY LIFE, IT WAS
ALMOST LIKE I WAS STARRING
IN AN EPISODE OF THE
TWILIGHT ZONE.
IT WAS THAT SURREAL.
Reporter: DANIEL
CALLED HIS GIRLFRIEND,
ZUHANI, WHO WAS A MED
STUDENT.
IT WAS DEFINITELY
SHOCK.
YOU HEAR THE WORD CANCER,
AND YOU AUTOMATICALLY
ASSOCIATE IT WITH DEATH
AND DYING AND END OF LIFE.
HIS TUMOR WAS SO LARGE,
WHEN HE HAD SHOWN ME HIS
P.E.T. SCAN, I LOOKED AT
IT AND I SAID THAT'S YOUR
HEART, AND HE SAID NO,
THAT'S THE TUMOR.
IT WASN'T THE CANCER
THAT WAS THE THREAT.
IT WAS THE ACTUAL PHYSICAL
SIZE THAT WAS CRUSHING THE
ARTERY.
WE WERE FORCED TO GO
THROUGH CHEMO.
THE DOCTORS SAID WE'RE
GOING TO GIVE YOU A FORM
OF CHEMO THAT IS
RELATIVELY A PALLIATIVE
FORM.
WE DON'T EXPECT THAT
YOU'RE GOING TO GET
BETTER, BUT YOU HAVE TO DO
SOMETHING.
THEY WEREN'T SURE IF IT
WAS GOING TO RESPOND, BUT
WITHOUT IT, HE SAID I
WOULD BE DEAD IN A MATTER
OF THREE WEEKS TO THREE
MONTHS.
IT WAS CRUSHING HIS
PULMONARY ARTERY.
WHICH MEANS HIS LUNGS WERE
NOT GETTING BLOOD.
WHICH MEANS THERE WAS NO
OXYGENATED BLOOD GOING
THROUGH HIS BODY.
Reporter: DANIEL
STARTED THE CHEMOTHERAPY.
MY WHOLE BODY WAS IN
PAIN.
I WAS TOO WEAK TO WALK.
YOUR G.I. TRACT AND YOUR
GUMS -- EVERYTHING GETS
SORE.
HE COULDN'T KEEP
ANYTHING DOWN.
HE WAS JUST DRY HEAVING.
MY HEART JUST BROKE FOR
HIM.
I WAS LIKE, GOD, I WILL
TAKE HIS PLACE.
JUST LET ME DO ANYTHING I
CAN TO TAKE HIS SUFFERING
AWAY.
AND THERE WAS NOTHING, YOU
KNOW.
AND YOU TRY TO HAVE FAITH
THAT THERE IS GOING TO BE
GLORY THAT IS GOING TO
COME OUT OF IT, BUT YOU
DON'T IN THAT MOMENT.
YOU JUST DON'T.
SO THOSE WERE SOME DARK
MOMENTS.
Reporter: FRIENDS AND
FAMILY VISITED DANIEL IN
THE HOSPITAL.
I HAD SO MANY PEOPLE
PRAYING FOR ME.
I HAD PEOPLE PROPHESYING
FOR ME SAYING THIS THING
WAS BORN TO DIE.
IT IS GOING TO BE A
TESTIMONY TO THE LORD.
WE WERE JUST PRAYING
FOR HIM, AND YOU JUST FELT
THE WHOLE WEEK LIKE THEY
WERE THERE WITH YOU.
YOU FELT LIKE THERE WERE
ANGELS PRAYING FOR YOU THE
WHOLE TIME.
YOU JUST FELT THEIR
PRESENCE, AND IT WAS
AMAZING.
PEOPLE ANOINTED ME WITH
OIL AND PRAYING OVER ME,
BOTH IN THE HOSPITAL AND
AFTER I GOT OUT.
I REMEMBER THE PASTOR
SAYING YOU NEED TO JUST
CRY OUT TO GOD AND LET HIM
KNOW YOU NEED HIM.
BECAUSE I WAS REALLY
HOLDING EVERYTHING INSIDE.
IT WAS AT THAT POINT, WHEN
MY FRIENDS WERE LAYING
HANDS ON ME IN THE CHURCH,
I JUST GOT DOWN ON MY
KNEES, AND THE FLOODGATES
OPENED.
I WAS CRYING OUT TO GOD
SAYING, GOD, I NEED, I
NEED YOU.
I HAD NEVER DONE THAT
BEFORE.
IT WAS A BIG STEP FOR ME.
Reporter: DANIEL WENT
BACK TO THE HOSPITAL FOR
HIS NEXT TREATMENT.
THE TUMOR HAD GOTTEN
BIGGER, IT WAS CRUSHING MY
PULMONARY ARTERY, AND I
WAS SUFFOCATING.
I REMEMBER BEING IN THE
HOSPITAL BED, LITERALLY
DYING, AND I REMEMBER
LOOKING UP TO GOD AND
SAYING, IF YOU WANT TO
TAKE ME, I'LL GO WITH YOU.
I SAID IF YOU WANT TO HEAL
ME AND LET ME LIVE, I'LL
DO MY BEST TO SHARE WITH
THE WORLD YOUR GOODNESS,
YOUR GRACE, YOUR LOVE,
YOUR MERCY, AND YOUR
POWER.
AND THAT WAS REALLY A
TURNING POINT FOR ME,
LEARNING TO LET GO, AND TO
JUST TRUST THE LORD.
Reporter: DANIEL WENT
IN FOR TESTS AT THE MIDWAY
POINT OF HIS CHEMO.
HALF WAY THROUGH THE
TREATMENTS, WHEN THEY TOOK
THAT SECOND SCAN, WHICH
THEY WERE JUST HOPING THE
TUMOR WOULD BE SMALLER.
AND IT CAME BACK
COMPLETELY NEGATIVE, LIKE,
JUST GONE.
I REMEMBER WALKING OUT OF
THE RADIOLOGY PLACE, JUST
BEFORE CHRISTMAS, I'M
LOOKING UP TO HEAVEN, A
BEAUTIFUL DAY, CRYSTAL
CLEAR SKY, AND TEARS
RUNNING DOWN MY EYES AND
JUST SAYING, THANK YOU,
LORD.
THANK YOU.
IT WAS THE BEST CHRISTMAS
GIFT I EVER HAD.
THAT DOES NOT HAPPEN.
I SAW THAT TUMOR.
IT WAS GIENORMOUS.
IT DOESN'T JUST GO AWAY.
AND THERE WASN'T EVEN SCAR
TISSUE.
USUALLY WHEN TUMORS
RETRACT, THERE IS SCAR
TISSUE LEFT BEHIND AND
THERE WASN'T ANYTHING.
WORDS CAN'T EVEN
DESCRIBE IT.
WALKING ON AIR,HOLDING
THIS PICTURE IN MY HAND OF
A COMPLETELY NORMAL P.E.T.
SCAN, WHEREAS THREE MONTHS
EARLIER I HAD THIS OMINOUS
TUMOR THREATENING MY LIFE.
WORDS CAN'T DESCRIBE THE
FEELING.
PEOPLE ABLE TO TELL MY
FAMILY AND MY FRIENDS I'M
GOING TO BE OKAY.
IT WAS JUST AMAZING.
Reporter: DANIEL AND
ZAHANI MARRIED IN 2003.
ZAHANI GRADUATED FROM MED
SCHOOL IN 2007.
TODAY SHE IS A PEDIATRIST,
AND DANIEL IS THE PRODUCER
AND HOST OF DIVINE
INTERVENTION, A POPULAR
SHOW ABOUT MODERN DAY
MIRACLES.
IT WAS THE FAITH OF MY
FAMILY AND FRIENDS, WHO
PRAYED FOR ME.
I'M REMINDED ALL OF THE
TIME OF THE STORY IN THE
GOSPEL OF MARK, WHERE THE
FOUR FRIENDS ARE CARRYING
THE PARALYTIC FRIEND TO
JESUS.
THEY HAVE TO GO UP ON THE
ROOF AND LOWER THEM DOWN
BECAUSE OF THE CROWD.
AND IT SAYS WHEN JESUS SAW
THEIR FAITH, HE HEALED THE
PARALYTIC.
I DON'T KNOW WHETHER THE
PARALYTIC HAD FAITH OR
NOT, BUT I KNOW HIS
FRIENDS DID.
AND SOMETIMES THAT'S WHAT
YOU NEED.
YOU NEED PEOPLE AROUND YOU
TO GURD YOU UP AND PRAY
FOR YOU AND BRING YOU INTO
THE PRESENCE OF JESUS, AND
THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED IN MY
CASE.
Terry: AMAZING STORY.
GOD IS ABLE.
WE LOVE HAVING STORIES
LIKE THAT ON THE AIR THAT
BUILD FAITH, THAT SHOW US
THE POWER OF GOD.
AND WE'VE GOT SOME REPORTS
FOR US RIGHT NOW THAT DO
THE SAME THING.
PAT, THIS IS HELEN WHO
LIVES IN ALBUQUERQUE, NEW
MEXICO, AND SHE HAD
SHOULDER REPLACEMENT
SURGERY AND SHE SUFFERED
FROM CHRONIC NECK PAIN.
THE DOCTOR SAID THE ONLY
THING HE COULD DO WAS
PRESCRIBE PAIN
MEDICATIONS.
SHE RECOMMENDED ADDITIONAL
SURGERY, BUT SHE DIDN'T
WANT MORE SURGERY.
THEN LAST AUGUST, HELEN
WAS WATCHING THIS PROGRAM,
AND PAT, SHE HEARD YOU SAY
WHEN WE WERE PRAYING, PUT
YOUR HAND ON YOUR NECK
RIGHT NOW IN THE NAME OF
JESUS, AND BE MADE WHOLE.
SHE PUT HER HAND ON HER
NECK, AND SHE SAID SHE
FELT WARMTH INTO IT, AND
THEN HER NECK,
QUOTE,POPPED AND
IMMEDIATELY THE PAIN LEFT
AND HAS NOT RETURNED.
Pat: YOU KNOW, I
DIDN'T KNOW HELEN.
BUT GOD KNOWS HELEN.
I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT HER
NECK, BUT GOD KNEW ABOUT
HER NECK.
IT IS SIMPLY AMAZING THE
POWER THAT IS RELEASED AS
WE PRAY.
IT IS GOD ALMIGHTY.
THIS IS ADINA, WHO LIVED
IN TORONTO, ONTARIO, IN
CANADA.
SHE BEGAN HAVING PAIN IN
HER LOWER BACK AND COULD
NOT BEND OVER WITHOUT
HURTING.
HER DOCTORS WERE UNABLE TO
DETERMINE WHAT WAS WRONG,
AND SHE SAID, HERE IS SOME
ADDITIONAL TESTS YOU CAN
TAKE.
MEANWHILE, ON JULY 27th,
SHE WAS WATCHING THIS
PROGRAM, AND SHE WAS
CRYING, AND SHE HEARD
TERRY SAYING YOU HAVE A
PROBLEM WITH THE LOWER
PART OF YOUR SPINE, IT IS
JUST OUT OF ALIGNMENT, BUT
IT CAUSES ALL KINDS OF
DISCOMFORT, SITTING AND
STANDING.
GOD IS CORRECTING THAT FOR
YOU RIGHT NOW.
JUST STRETCH OUT AND
RECEIVE HEALING.
DINA SAID THAT'S ME, AND
IMMEDIATELY THE PAIN WAS
GONE.
SHE WAS ABLE TO BEND AND
MOVE AND HASN'T HAD ANY
PROBLEMS SINCE.
TERRY, GOD IS GOOD.
Terry: HE IS VERY
GOOD.
Pat: WE'RE GOING TO
JOIN HANDS.
WHEREVER YOU ARE, TERRY
AND I ARE GOING TO JOIN
HANDS.
WE BELIEVE IN GOD.
GOD IS ALMIGHTY, AND
NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE.
NOW WHAT IS YOUR NEED?
YOU MAY BE SAD BECAUSE OF
THE ELECTION, YOU MAY BE
JUBILANT BECAUSE OF THE
ELECTION, BUT ELECTIONS
COME AND ELECTIONS GO, BUT
GOD IS EVERLASTING.
JESUS CHRIST IS THE SAME
YESTERDAY, TODAY, AND
FOREVER.
WE'RE GOING TO JOIN HANDS.
PLEASE JOIN WITH US.
FATHER, TERRY AND I JOIN
TOGETHER.
IN UNITY, ASKING FOR A
MIRACLE IN PEOPLE'S LIVES.
LORD, DO SOMETHING.
TERRY, GOD JUST GAVE YOU
SOMETHING.
WOULD YOU SHARE IT?
Terry: THERE IS
SOMEBODY, YOU HAVE SOME
SORT OF AN BE OCULAR
PROBLEM.
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT IS,
BUT YOU FEEL THIS -- IT'S
NOT SHARP PAIN, BUT IT IS
AN ACHY PAIN IN YOUR EYES.
GOD IS HEALING THAT
CONDITION FOR YOU.
YOUR VISION IS GOING TO BE
RESTORED TO NORMAL.
PUT YOUR HANDS ON YOUR
EYES AND BE MADE WHOLE IN
THE NAME OF JESUS.
Pat: THERE IS A
MAN -- THE NAME MARK COMES
TO ME -- I WON'T WORRY
ABOUT THAT.
BUT YOU'RE WEARING A NECK
BRACE.
RIGHT NOW IF YOU REACH OUT
AND TOUCH THAT, YOU'LL
FEEL LIKE ELECTRICITY
GOING THROUGH IT.
GOD HAS JUST HEALED YOU OF
THE PROBLEM THAT IS THERE.
AND CAUSED THE SPINE TO
KUM INTO ALIGNMENT AND THE
NECK, IN THE NAME OF
JESUS.
TERRY?
Terry: THERE IS
SOMEBODY ELSE, YOU HAVE A
PROBLEM WITH YOUR
DIGESTION AND YOUR
STOMACH, AND YOU HAVE BEEN
TOLD THERE IS NOTHING MORE
THAT CAN BE DONE.
IT TRULY AFFECTS YOUR
LIFE, YOUR ABILITY TO EAT
AND YOUR NUTRITION.
GOD IS HEALING THAT.
YOU'RE GOING TO FEEL A
WARMTH IN THE CENTER OF
YOUR BODY AS GOD JUST
TOUCHES AND HEALS THAT
CONDITION.
Pat: SOMEBODY, YOUR
LIPS ARE SWELLED.
THERE IS SOME KIND OF AN
ALLERGY.
THE LORD HAS JUST BEEN
COMING INTO YOU RIGHT NOW,
AND YOU'RE BEING HEALED.
THE SWELLING IN YOUR LIPS
AND MOUTH AND FACE IS
GOING DOWN IN THE NAME OF
JESUS.
TERRY?
THANK YOU, LORD.
Terry: SOMEONE ELSE,
YOU'VE HAD SOME BODY
SWELLING JUST IN GENERAL,
IN YOUR LIMBS, AND WITH NO
EXPLANATION.
GOD IS HEALING THAT FOR
YOU.
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE
THAT DISCOMFORT.
LET THAT FEAR GO RIGHT
NOW.
GOD IS IN CONTROL AND YOUR
BODY IS BEING TOUCHED BY
HIM.
Pat: THANK YOU, LORD.
WE PRAY FOR THOSE IN THIS
AUDIENCE, WHATEVER THEIR
NEED IS, REACH OUT AND
TOUCH THEM AND HEAL THEM
AND SET THEM FREE.
LORD, FOR THIS NATION, WE
PRAY FOR OUR LEADERS.
THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN.
THE LEADERS ARE IN PLACE.
WE ASK THAT YOU WOULD GIVE
THEM WISDOM, THAT THEY
MIGHT FULFILL YOUR DESIRE
IN JESUS' NAME.
YOU ARE ALL WISE AND ALL
KNOWING, AND WE COMMIT
THIS DAY TO YOU IN JESUS'
NAME.
AMEN.
Terry: AMEN.
Pat: AND AMEN.
AND THE QUOTE FROM THE
BIBLE, THIS IS THE DAY
THE LORD HAS MADE, AND WE
REJOICE IN IT.
Terry: AND THE
HOLIDAYS ARE CLOSE.
DESIGNER MAL ANDERSON IS
GOING TO GIVE US TWO FOR
ONE IDEAS FOR BOTH
THANKSGIVING AND
CHRISTMAS.
THAT'S ALL COMING UP A
LITTLE LATER.
Lee: WELCOME BACK TO
THE 700 CLUB.
FRANCE'S CABINET HAS
APPROVED A BILL LEGALIZING
SAME-SEX MARRIAGE IN THAT
COUNTRY.
THE ISSUE HAS BECOME
CONTROVERSIAL IN FRANCE.
PRESIDENT FRANCOIS
HOLLANDE MADE IT A
CORNERSTONE OF HIS
CAMPAIGN.
AT THE TIME, THE MAJORITY
OF THE FRENCH PUBLIC
ATTENDED TO BACK THE IDEA.
BUT SUPPORT LATELY HAS
FALLEN OFF AFTER VOCAL
OPPOSITION FROM RELIGIOUS
LEADERS.
A CONSERVATIVE CENTER
CALLED THE MEASURE THE END
OF THE FAMILY AND AN
ENORMOUS DANGER TO FRANCE.
OPPOSITION LAWMAKERS AND
HUMAN RIGHTS GROUPS ARE
CRITICIZING ANGELA MERKEL.
SHE SAID THAT CHRISTIANITY
IS, QUOTE,THE MOST
PERSECUTED RELIGION
WORLDWIDE.
HER CRITICS SAY RANKING
FAITH TO HOW PERSECUTED
THEY ARE IS POINTLESS.
THEY SAY SOME MUSLIMS,
JEWS, AND OTHERS ALSO FACE
PERSECUTION.
MERKEL MADE HER COMMENTS
AT THE MEETING OF A
PROTESTANT CHURCH.
SHE ALSO SPOKE OUT AGAINST
STRICT SEPARATION OF
CHURCH AND STATE AND SAID
EUROPE WAS BUILT ON
CHRISTIAN FOUNDATIONS.
MERKEL IS THE DAUGHTER OF
A PASTOR.
YOU CAN ALWAYS GET THE
LATEST FROM CBN NEWS BY
GOING TO OUR WEBSITE AT
cbnnews.com.
STAY TUNED, PAT AND TERRY
WILL BE BACK WITH MORE OF
THE 700 CLUB AFTER THIS.
Pat: WELL, WELCOME TO
THIS DAY AFTER THE
ELECTION CELEBRATION OR
WAKE, AS THE CASE MAY BE.
AFTER THE WOMAN IN OUR
NEXT STORY WAS SUPER
NATURALLY HEALED, SHE HAD
THE BOLDNESS TO PRAY FOR
ANOTHER MIRACLE.
AND THE ANSWER TO THAT
PRAYER LED TO A BLESSING
FOR HER ENTIRE TOWN.
Terry: EVERY MORNING,
MANU AND HER HUSBAND
WALKED TWO MILES IN THE
HILLS OF NORTHWEST INDIA
TO GET WATER FOR THEIR
FAMILY.
WE USED THE BUCKET TO
GET WATER FROM AN OPEN
WELL.
MY HUSBAND WOULD GO DOWN
AND FILL IT, AND I WOULD
PULL IT UP.
SO LITTLE BY LITTLE WE
FILLED THE POT.
Terry: BUT THEN MANU
SUDDENLY DEVELOPED PAINFUL
SWELLING IN HER LEGS AND
HANDS.
I WOULD CRY.
BECAUSE I COULDN'T HELP MY
HUSBAND GET WATER OR DO
ANYTHING ELSE.
Terry: THEY WENT TO
BLACK MAGIC PRACTITIONERS
AND DOCTORS, BUT MANU
DIDN'T GET ANY BETTER.
SHE AND HER HUSBAND WERE
HINDUS, BUT WHEN A LOCAL
PASTOR VISITED THEIR HOME
AND OFFERED TO PRAY FOR
HER, THEY LET HIM.
HE PRAYED IN THE NAME
OF JESUS, AND VERY SOON
THE SWELLING DISAPPEARED.
I STARTED TO BELIEVE IN
JESUS CHRIST.
Terry: MANU
RECOVERED, BUT SHE STILL
WORRIED ABOUT THE LONG
WALKS TO GET WATER.
SO SHE AND HER HUSBAND
DECIDED TO SEE IF JESUS
WOULD ANSWER ANOTHER
PRAYER.
I ASKED JESUS TO GIVE
US A WELL CLOSE TO OUR
HOME.
Terry: SOON A CBN
LIVING WATERS TEAM CAME TO
THEIR VILLAGE AND DRILLED
A WELL.
I AM SO HAPPY.
NOW I CAN EASILY GET WATER
FOR MY FAMILY.
Terry: MANU AND HER
HUSBAND GAVE THEIR LIVES
TO CHRIST AND WERE
BAPTIZED.
I BELIEVE THAT JESUS IS
LORD.
HE MADE ME WELL AND
STRENGTHENED MY FAITH.
WE PRAYED AND HE GAVE US
WATER.
NOW I HAVE BECOME A
DAUGHTER OF JESUS CHRIST,
AND I WILL FOLLOW HIM ALL
OF THE DAYS OF MY LIFE.
Pat: FOLKS, THAT'S
WHAT YOU'RE DOING WITH
YOUR 700 CLUB MEMBERSHIP
ALL AROUND THE WORLD.
AMERICA IS IMPORTANT, WE
JUST HAD AN ELECTION, BUT
THE TRUTH IS 90% OF OUR
BROADCAST ACTIVITIES
OVERSEAS, OVER IN INDIA,
CHINA, THAILAND, THE
UKRAINE, YOU NAME IT -- 58
DIFFERENT LANGUAGES.
WE CARE ABOUT PEOPLE.
AND WE APPRECIATE SO MUCH
WHAT YOU DO TO HELP US
HELP THEM.
AND AS WE HELP THEM, GOD
WILL BLESS US.
I THINK ONE OF THE REASONS
THAT GOD HAS SPARED
AMERICA AS LONG AS HE HAS
IS BECAUSE OF THE
EVANGELICAL CHRISTIAN
PEOPLE -- WHOEVER THEY
ARE -- WHO ARE REACHING
OUT AROUND THE WORLD AND
SHOWING COMPASSION.
AND GOD BLESSES US AS WE
HELP OTHERS.
SOMETHING IS COMING TO
YOU.
I MENTIONED IT BEFORE.
WHEN YOU GET IT, PLEASE
OPEN IT UP AND FILL OUT
THE CARD AND SEND IT IN.
AND INSIDE IS THIS
FANTASTIC RECIPE FOR THIS
INCREDIBLE MINESTRONE.
Terry: IT'S ON MY
GROCERY LIST AS WE SPEAK.
Pat: IT'S ON YOUR
GROCERY LIST.
YOU'VE GOT TO MAKE IT.
Terry: WELL, SURE.
I'M WAITING FOR MY CROWD
TO ASSEMBLE.
Pat: THIS IS COMING
IN THE MAIL, AND THERE IS
A PLEDGE.
YOU CAN DO SOMETHING.
FILL IT OUT AND END IT IN.
OKAY!
Terry: UP NEXT, WE'VE
GOT SOMETHING GREAT FOR
YOU.
WE'RE GOING TO SHOW YOU
HOW TO SET A LAVISH TABLE
FOR THANKSGIVING.
AND IT'S ALSO LOW COST.
YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS IT.
STAY TUNED.
Terry: WELL,
THANKSGIVING, BELIEVE IT
OR NOT, IS ONLY ABOUT TWO
WEEKS AWAY, AND CHRISTMAS
JUST A LITTLE OVER SIX
WEEKS.
SO TO GET THE HOLIDAYS
GOING IN SOME REAL STYLE,
DESIGNER MAL ANDERSON
STOPPED BY OUR STUDIOS AND
SHOWED ME THE LATEST
TRENDS FOR DECORATING
THANKSGIVING AND CHRISTMAS
TABLES.
AND THE BEST PART IS, YOU
GET TWO FOR ONE.
TAKE A LOOK.
Reporter: MAL
ANDERSON IS A LIFESTYLE
EXPERT AND DESIGNER
EXTRAORDINAIRE.
SHE HAS BEEN CALLED A
CROSS BETWEEN DR. PHIL AND
MARTHA STEWART.
MAL BELIEVES THAT SIMPLE
AND POSITIVE CHANGES IN
YOUR HOME WILL HAVE
POSITIVE RESULTS IN YOUR
LIFE, TOO.
SHE SHARED HER EASY
MONEY-SAVING TIPS ON MANY
POPULAR TV SHOWS, IN
MAGAZINES, AND IN HER
BOOK, CHANGE YOUR HOME,
CHANGE YOUR LIFE.
NOW MAL WANTS TO SHOW YOU
HOW TO MAKE YOUR HOLIDAYS
BEAUTIFUL AND EFFORTLESS.
Terry: PLEASE WELCOME
TO THE 700 CLUB, MAL
ANDERSON.
IT IS WONDERFUL TO HAVE
YOU HERE.
THANK YOU, TERRY.
I'M SO HAPPY TO BE HERE.
Terry: THESE TABLES
ARE PHENOMENAL, AND YOU
SAID IT WAS OPRAH WHO
FIRST GAVE YOU YOUR
OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE YOUR
GIFT WITH SO MANY.
SHE DID.
I WAS SITTING AT HOME
WATCHING HER SHOW, AND
THEY TALKED ABOUT FINDING
YOUR DESTINY.
IT TURNED OUT IN ALL OF
THESE BOXES, I HAD ALL OF
THESE BEFORE AND AFTER
PICTURES.
AND I THOUGHT, NO ONE EVER
SAID TO ME I SHOULD BE A
DESIGNER, BUT I AM REALLY
GOOD, IF I SAY SO MYSELF.
Terry: THERE YOU GO.
THAT'S HOW IT STARTED.
Terry: WHY DO THEY
CALL YOU THE COMBINATION
OF DR. PHIL AND MARTHA
STEWART.
THOSE SEEM LIGHT YEARS
APART.
BECAUSE I REALLY
BELIEVE YOUR HOME REFLECTS
YOUR FAMILY AND WHO YOU
ARE.
I TRY TO BRING FAMILY BACK
TO THE TABLE AND GET US
AROUND IT INSTEAD OF JUST
EATING FAST FOOD AND
PULLING OUT PAPER PLATES.
I WANT YOU TO GET OUT YOUR
CHINA.
Terry: I AM
CONVICTED.
YOU SEE CHINA ON BOTH
TABLES.
PEOPLE NEED TO USE THE
GOOD CHINA, DUST IT OFF
AND USE IT.
BECAUSE YOUR FAMILY IS
YOUR MOST IMPORTANT
GUESTS.
THAT'S WHAT YOU TELL YOUR
HUSBAND, WHEN YOU PULL OUT
YOUR CHINA AND YOU SET THE
TABLE THAT IS BEAUTIFUL
LIKE THIS, YOU'RE TELLING
HIM HE IS SPECIAL AND HE
IS IMPORTANT, AND YOUR
CHILDREN LEARN ABOUT
EXAMPLE.
Terry: THESE TABLES
ARE SO BEAUTIFUL.
YOU SAY THERE ARE FIVE
MUST-HAVES THAT WE NEED TO
MAKE ALL OF THIS MAGIC
HAPPEN.
IN ANY DESIGN.
PAINT, LIGHTING, MUSIC,
FLOWERS AND FABRIC.
HERE WITH THE PAINT, WE
WOULD BE TALKING ABOUT
COLOR, CORRECT?
Terry: RIGHT.
ONE OF THE HOTTEST FALL
TRENDS FOR DECORATING IS
HOT COLOR.
BRIGHT ORANGE.
WE BROUGHT IN THIS
BEAUTIFUL, ENERGETIC
ORANGE.
COLORS HAVE ENERGY.
SAME CHINA ON BOTH.
SAME TABLECLOTH, SAME
CRYSTAL, SAME SILVERWARE.
COST-EFFECTIVE.
WE ADDED THE COLORFUL
CHARGER, AND THE BEAUTIFUL
COLORFUL FLOWERS, AND
ISN'T THIS WONDERFUL.
THAT'S A REAL PUMPKIN.
Terry: I LOVE THAT.
YES.
Terry: NO WAY.
LIKE A LITTLE MINI
PUMPKIN.
YES.
AND WHAT IS GREAT YOU
DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO GUESS
WHERE TO SIT.
DON'T YOU FEEL SPECIAL
WHEN YOU SEE YOUR NAME.
IT SAYS WE INTENDED YOU TO
BE HERE.
THIS IS JUST TO INSPIRE
YOU.
YOU CAN DO SEVERAL EASY
VERSIONS OF THAT.
Terry: THAT IS
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL.
HERE, THE SAME THING.
ALL OF THE SAME THINGS.
WE CHANGED IT WITH THE
CHARGER.
MUSIC IS ONE OF MY MOST
IMPORTANT MUST-HAVES
BECAUSE YOU HAVE CHANGE
THE ATMOSPHERE OF A ROOM
WITH THE MUSIC.
I'M REALLY EXCITED WITH
THE MUSIC YOU'RE HEARING.
THIS IS CALLED WELCOME
IN FROM MY UNCLE PHIL
PEGGY.
Terry: THAT IS
FABULOUS.
HE IS WONDERFUL.
Terry: THIS IS LIKE A
LITTLE GIFT AT EACH PLACE.
IT IS.
IT IS WELCOMING PEOPLE TO
THE TABLE.
I TOOK A NAPKIN AND SET IT
IN THERE.
AND WE WANT TO GIVE PEOPLE
A GIFT WHEN THEY LEAVE.
IT IS VERY INEXPENSIVE.
IT IS A BULB YOU CAN BUY
AT ANY STORE.
WE PUT 700 CLUB.
Terry: BUT LOOK AT
YOUR PRESENTATION OF THIS.
YOU KNOW WHAT,
PRESENTATION IS
EVERYTHING.
IT DOESN'T COST A LOT OF
MONEY, BUT IT MEANS YOU
LOVE PEOPLE.
THAT IS JUST A LITTLE BIRD
THAT YOU CLIP ON.
IT IS SO SIMPLE.
I WANT YOU TO NOTICE, NAME
TAGS SO IMPORTANT.
THIS IS AN ORNAMENT, AND
ALL WE DID WAS TAKE SOME
GLITTER AND A BEAUTIFUL
LITTLE PEN AND IT MEANS
YOUR SPECIAL.
Terry: AND WHAT ABOUT
YOUR CENTER PIECES.
THEY ARE FABULOUS LOOKING.
THIS, AGAIN, IS TO
INSPIRE PEOPLE AT HOME.
WE ALL NEED TO SEE
SOMETHING TO LOVE.
SIMPLE FLOWERS CUT OFF AND
PUT IN A WAYSIS.
YOU SOAK IT, PUT IT IN
THERE, AND POP THE FLOWERS
RIGHT IN THERE.
Terry: AND YOU'VE
USED THE SAME CONTAINERS.
YOU CAN USE THESE ANY
TIME.
AND FABRIC, TABLECLOTH,
FABRIC, AND THE
LIGHTING -- THERE IS
NOTHING LIKE CANDLE LIGHT.
Terry: YOU'VE HET ALL
FIVE OF THESE THINGS.
YOU CAN EASILY SEE BY JUST
HAVING SOME OF THIS ON
HAND, IT IS A ONE-TIME
PURCHASE, BUT IT IS A
FOREVER THING.
I WANT YOU TO DO THIS
NOT JUST ON THANKSGIVING
AND CHRISTMAS.
I WANT YOU TO DO THIS ALL
THE TIME.
Terry: WELL, IT'S
GREAT TO KNOW, ISN'T IT,
THAT YOU CAN MAKE THAT
KIND OF A DIFFERENCE.
IT'S REASONABLE.
YOU'RE REUSING A LOT OF
THAT.
YOU CAN KEEP MUCH OF IT
FROM YEAR TO YEAR ONCE YOU
EMBARK ON THE JOURNEY OF
REALLY MAKING THIS THE
ENVIRONMENT THAT YOU EAT
AND SPECIAL FOR YOUR
FAMILY.
WE WANT YOU TO KNOW YOU
CAN FIND ALL MAL
ANDERSON'S IDEAS ON OUR
WEBSITE.
SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO
REMEMBER WHAT YOU JUST
SAW.
YOU CAN GO FIND IT.
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS LOG
ON TO cbn.com.
Pat: SHE IS SO
LOVELY.
Terry: SHE REALLY IS.
Pat: THEY SOUND SO
EASY.
FOR THE REST OF US -- I'M
ALL THUMBS --
Terry: BUT SHE USE
SIMPLE THINGS SO WE CAN
ALL DO IT.
E-MAILS, THIS IS KAREN WHO
SAYS, MY MOTHER ASKED ME
WHAT IT MEANS WHEN WE SEE
OUR DECEASED LOVED ONES IN
OUR DREAMS.
HER FATHER PASSED AWAY
WHEN SHE WAS 15, AND SHE
DREAMS OF THINGS SUCH AS
HIM SAYING HE IS PROUD OF
HER.
WHERE DO THE IMAGES COME
FROM?
US?
THE DECEASED PERSON?
OR GOD?
Pat: I THINK IT COMES
FROM US.
OUR MINDS ARE HUGE MEMORY
BANKS.
NOT ONLY WHAT WE'VE
ACTUALLY SEEN BUT WHAT WE
IMAGINE.
IT IS SWEET THAT YOU'RE
THINKING ABOUT YOUR
FATHER, AND YOUR FATHER
SAYS HE IS PROUD OF YOU.
THAT IS A DESIRE OF YOUR
HEART.
THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT.
AS A LITTLE GIRL, YOU WANT
YOUR DADDY TO SAY HE IS
PROUD OF YOU.
IT'S SWEET.
Terry: HELEN SAYS,
MY GRANDDAUGHTER ASKED ME
WHAT ARE THEIR SEVEN YEARS
IN THE TRIBULATION
PERIOD?
GOD IS KIND OF INTO
NUMBERS.
Pat: GOD SPEAKS TO US
THROUGH NUMBERS, FIVE IS
THE NUMBER OF GRACE, SEVEN
IS THE NUMBER OF
PERFECTION, OR EIGHT IS.
YOU GO DOWN THE LIST.
THREE IS THE NUMBER OF THE
TRINITY.
FOUR IS THE NUMBER OF
EARTH.
YOU PUT THREE AND FOUR
TOGETHER, YOU'VE GOT SEVEN
OR YOU'VE GOT 12.
YOU'VE GOT 40 YEARS,
THAT'S 10 TIMES FOUR, THE
EARTH -- I MEAN, THEY'RE
ALL THERE.
SO GOD CLEARLY SPEAKS
THROUGH THOSE NUMBERS AND
THEY HAVE SIGNIFICANCE.
Terry: THIS IS PAM
WHO SAYS, MY COUSIN HAS
STAGE THREE LIVER CANCER
AND HAS BEEN WAITING FOR A
LIVER FOR THE LAST TWO
YEARS.
HOW DO YOU PRAYER FOR
SOMEONE TO GET A LIVER
WHEN ANOTHER PERSON HAS TO
DIE IN ORDER FOR THE OTHER
PERSON TO GET IT.
I NEED HELP ABOUT THIS.
Pat: THEY'RE GOING TO
DIE ANYHOW.
A DOCTOR FRIEND USED TO
SAY MOTORCYCLE RIDER --
THEY CALLED THEM SPARE
PARTS.
I KNOW THAT'S BRUTAL, BUT
YOU DON'T HAVE TO WAIT FOR
SOMEBODY TO DIE.
SOMEBODY IS GOING TO DIE.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO PRAY FOR
THEM TO DIE.
THEY WILL DIE.
Terry: PRAY FOR GOD
TO PROVIDE IT.
JESS SAYS RECENTLY IN A
BIBLE STUDY WE'VE BEEN
TALKING ABOUT SPIRITUAL
GIFTS.
WHAT EXACTLY IS A
SPIRITUAL GIFT AND HOW DO
I FIND OUT IF I HAVE ONE?
Pat: READ 1
CORINTHIANS 12.
THEY'RE THE ENABLEMENT.
THE WORD IN GREEK IS
CHARISMATA.
THEY ARE SPECIFIC.
YOU CAN READ MORE THAN I
COULD TELL YOU RIGHT NOW.
THANKS FOR BEING WITH US.
TOMORROW ON THE 700
CLUB, LISTEN, WOMEN AND
PORNOGRAPHY, AND WHY THIS
BOOK CALLED 50 SHADES OF
GREY IS SO POPULAR.
TODAY WE LEAVE YOU WITH
THESE WORDS FROM 1
CORINTHIANS: THANKS BE TO
GOD WHO GIVES US THE
VICTORY.
SEE YOU TOMORROW.
