OBAMA AS THE MARINES CARRIED THE
CASKETS, I PUT MY ARMS AROUND
THE MOTHERS AND WIVES LEFT
BEHIND TO RAISE THEIR CHILDREN
REPORTER: THEY WANTED TO KNOW
WHETHER THE WHITE HOUSE
PERCEIVED THE MAGNITUDE OF THE
GROWING DANGER FROM AL-QAEDA.
DESPITE THE THINKING OF WHEN
OSAMA BIN LADEN GONE IT WAS THE
END OF AL-QAEDA.
NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER FROM
THE TRUTH.
THE ARAB SPRING IS USHERED A
TRUTH AL-QAEDA IS ON THE RISE.
THE WORLD IS EVEN MORE
DANGEROUS.
REPORTER: THE EXCHANGE CAME
WHEN WISCONSIN SENATOR RON
JOHNSON, THE MURDERS STRIKED
DURING RIOTS OF AN ANTI-MUSLIM
FILM.
AGAIN, WE WERE MISLED AND
THERE WERE PROTESTS AND
SOMETHING SPRANG OUT OF THAT.
THAT WAS EASILY NOT THE FACT.
THE FACT IS WE HAD FOUR DEAD
AMERICANS, BECAUSE OF A PROTEST
OF GUYS OUT FOR A WALK ONE NIGHT
DECIDED THEY WOULD KILL
AMERICANS, WHAT DIFFERENCE AT
THIS POINT DOES IT MAKE?
REPORTER: SECRETARY CLINTON
STRESSED THAT THE GOVERNMENT IS
BEEFING UP SECURITY AROUND THE
WORLD.
HER LIKELY SUCCESSOR JOHN KERRY
WILL HAVE TO DETERMINE THE SIZE
OF THE GROWING THREAT OF
AL-QAEDA AND WHAT IF ANYTHING
UNITED STATES IS GOING TO DO
ABOUT IT, JOHN WAAGE, CBN NEWS.
THANKS, JOHN.
HOUSE REPUBLICANS TRY TO PASS A
PLAN.
LEGISLATION WILL GIVE THE
GOVERNMENT ENOUGH LEEWAY TO MEET
THREE MORE MONTHS OF OBLIGATIONS
AND A DEFAULT.
DEMOCRATS LIKE THE PLAN.
WHITE HOUSE WON'T OPPOSE IT.
BREAKING NEWS FROM THE PENTAGON,

CIA GENERAL DAVID PATRAEUS.
THE PENTAGON SAYS GENERAL JOHN

GOVERNMENT.
CHRIS MITCHELL REPORTS ON THE
SURPRISING RESULTS ON AN
ELECTION THAT SAW THE HIGHEST
TURNOUT IN MORE THAN A DECADE.
REPORTER: AS EXPECTED
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU'S PARTY
RECEIVED THE MOST SEATS.
CENTER LEFT PARTIES RECEIVED THE
MOST SEATS.
SPLIT DOWN THE MIDDLE AS 60 SEAT
AS PEACE.
BIG NEWS IS EMERGENCE OF YAIR
LAPID.
IT IS THE BIG NEWS, THAT IS
WHAT IS COMING OUT, THAT IS WHAT
THE ISRAELI ELECTORATE IS COMING

WEAKER.

THE NEXT ISRAELI GOVERNMENT WILL
LOOK LIKE.
WITH A DIVIDED ELECTORATE
ISRAELIS WILL BE GOING TO THE
POLLS IN THE NOT TOO DISTANT
FUTURE.
CHRIS MITCHELL, CBN NEWS, TEL
AVIV.
JOINING US NOW IS DAVID
RUBEN, FROM THE BIBLICAL HEART
LAND AND AUTHOR OF THE BOOK
"ISLAMIC TSUNAMI ISRAEL AND
AMERICA IN THE AGE OF OBAMA."
.
THANK YOU, GOOD TO BE WITH
YOU.
NETANYAHU WON, HOW DIFFICULT
IS IT GOING TO BE RULING FOR
HIM?
IT IS GOING TO BE A DIFFICULT
TASK.
WHAT HE NEEDS TO DO IS FORM A
COALITION WHICH WILL CONSIST OF
A COMBINATION OF RIGHT WINGED
AND LEFT OF CENTER AND RELIGIOUS
PARTIES AND IT IS GOING TO TAKE
A FEW PARTIES TO GET TO THAT
MAJORITY IN THE ISRAELI
PARLIAMENT.
HE HAS BEEN PRIME MINISTER A
COUPLE OF TIMES ALREADY, SO I
THINK HE IS UP TO THE TASK.
WILL NETANYAHU STRUGGLE AND
BE IMPACTED BY THIS ELECTION?
WE HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT THE
TWO MAIN, TWO TO THREE MAIN
POLITICAL PARTIES THAT ARE GOING
TO BE IN THE COALITION MOST
LIKELY, THEY ARE NOT GOING TO
GIVE IN TO THE IRANIANS WHATEVER
THE WORLD PRESSURES MIGHT BE FOR
ISRAEL NOT TO TAKE GRANT OF
ACTION.
CHANCES ARE LIKELY ISRAEL WILL
BE TAKING PRE-EMPTIVE ACTION
SOME TIME WITHIN THE YEAR UNLESS
SOMEONE ELSE DOES IT FOR US.
YOU THINK IT COULD BE THE
YEAR?
I AM NOT THE ONE WATCHING THE
CLOCK.
PRIME MINISTER AND HEADS OF
SECURITY ARE WATCHING THE CLOCK
CAREFULLY.
THEY ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT IT
THAT OFTEN.
SOME TIME IN 2013 OR AT THE
LATEST, SOME TIME IN 2014, WE
ARE GOING TO SEE THE IRANIANS
PASSING THE NUCLEAR THRESHOLD.
THAT IS A MORTAL DANGER FOR
ISRAEL AND DANGER FOR THE REST
OF THE WORLD AS WELL AS WESTERN
CIVILIZATION.
DAVID IN A FEW SECONDS
REMAINING, HOW WILL THIS
ELECTION IMPACT U.S.-ISRAEL
RELATIONSHIP?
THE YESHATI PARTY WHICH
SHARES VIEWS WITH NETANYAHU AND
RELIGIOUS DIE NAS OF THE JEWISH
HOME PARTY ARE THE TWO MOST
LIKELY PARTICIPANTS.
IF THEY ARE THEN YOU ARE GOING
TO SEE ISRAEL STANDING STRONG BY
ITS PRINCIPLES.
MAYBE FRICTION WITH THE OBAMA
ADMINISTRATION AS IT WAS IN THE
FIRST FOUR YEARS.
THERE MAY NEED TO BE FRICTION.
IT IS IMPORTANT FOR ISRAEL TO
STAND BY ITS PRINCIPLES AND NOT
CAVE TO PRESSURE.
DAVID RUBIN, THANKS FOR BEING
WITH US.
THANK YOU, WENDY.
GOOD TO BE WITH YOU.

IN IRAN.
STAY WITH US.
WENDY: WELCOME BACK.
A FAMILY FRIEND TRYING TO
ARRANGE BAIL FOR PASTOR SAEED
ABEDINI HAS BEEN THREATENED BY
THE IRANIAN GOVERNMENT.
HE WAS TOLD IF HE DOESN'T STOP
TRYING TO ASSIST THE FAMILY HIS
HOUSE WOULD RAIDED.
THE PASTOR'S BAIL WAS DENIED.
HE IS CHARGED WITH UNDERMINING
NATIONAL SECURITY STARTING HOUSE
CHURCHES IN THE ISLAMIC
REPUBLIC.
HIS CASE IS BEING HEARD BY A
NOTORIOUS FOR THIS.
I SPOKE WITH HIS WIFE.
WHY DO YOU THINK THE IRANIAN
GOVERNMENT IS TARGETING YOUR
HUSBAND?
TO USE HIM AN EXAMPLE.
HIS CONVERSION WAS SO RADICAL.
HE WAS SO PASSIONATE AND IT WAS
WIDESPREAD.
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE CAME TO KNOW
CHRIST WITHIN A FEW YEAR'S
PERIOD.
THEY SEE HIM AS A THREAT.
THEY SEE YOUNG PEOPLE BECOMING
CHRISTIANS AND SEE THAT AS A
HUGE THREAT TO THEIR SECURITY
AND SEE SAEED AS A THREAT.
WENDY: WHY DO YOU THINK THEY
ARE NOT FIGHTING MORE FOR YOUR
BEHALF?
THEY HAVE TAKEN MORE ACTION.
WE HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH
THEM AND ASKED THEM TO DO MORE
AND TO -- WE ASKED THEM TO
DEMAND SAEED ABEDINI'S RELEASE.
HIM BEING HELD FOR FOUR MONTHS
WITH NO FORMAL CHARGES.
IT IS JUST BASED ON HIS FAITH
AND CHRISTIAN ACTIVITY.
THAT IN ITSELF IS THEY HAVE BEEN
HOLDING HIM ILLEGALLY.
WENDY: FOUR MONTHS.
WITH INTERNATIONAL LAWS THEY
PROMISED.
WENDY: WHAT IS YOUR HUSBAND'S
MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL STATE?
I UNDERSTAND YOU DO GET TO TALK
TO HIM BY PHONE?
I HAVE SPOKEN TO HIM THREE
TIMES IN FOUR AND A HALF MONTHS.
IF I DO TALK TO HIM, WEDNESDAY
MORNINGS.
HE IS HOLDING ON.
HE SAID THE JOY OF THE LORD IS
HIS STRENGTH.
HE COUNTS ALL JOY THAT HE IS
SUFFERING FOR CHRIST, HE HAS
BEEN ABUSED.
IN A LETTER HE WROTE TO ME, HE
IS CONSIDERED UNCLEAN AND FILTHY
BECAUSE HE IS A CONVERT AND A
CHRISTIAN.
HE DOESN'T GET THE MEDICAL
TREATMENT OTHER PRISONERS GET.
HE DOESN'T GET PAIN MEDICATION
OTHER PRISONERS GET.
HE CAN'T SLEEP SOMETIMES BECAUSE
OF THE INTENSE PAIN.
ONE THING HE CONTINUALLY TALKS
ABOUT IS HE HAS IMMENSE JOY
BECAUSE THAT THIS IS FOR CHRIST.
IN HIS LETTERS THE JOY OF THE
LORD IS HIS STRENGTH AND THE
LORD IS MEETING HIM THERE.
WENDY: HOW ARE YOU STAYING
STRONG, HOW CAN WE PRAY FOR YOU?
CLINGING TO GOD AND NOT
LETTING GO.
HIS PEACE AND JOY AND CALM, ONCE
YOU CONNECT TO HIM AND CLING TO
HIM, TO STORM THAT COMES YOUR
WAY, ALL OF US HAVE STORMS, HE
IS IN CONTROL.
HE WILL BRING EVERYTHING FOR
GOOD AND HIS GLORY WHICH IS WHAT
WE WANT.
I AM TEACHING THE KIDS TO DO
THAT.
WE WORSHIP, PRAY AND TRUST
JESUS.

INSPIRATION AND EXAMPLE OF
COURAGE.
