I JUST WANTED TO DIE.
Lee: DRUGGED...
I REMEMBER FEELING REALLY
WEIRD.
LIKE THE ROOM WAS SPINNING.
Lee: AND BLACKMAIL.
YOU HAVE TO DO THIS FOR
AS LONG AS WE SAY, OR ELSE
WE'LL KILL YOUR FAMILY.
Lee: ONE GIRL IS FORCED
TO BECOME A SEX SLAVE.
AND I WAS DOWN THERE,
BEING TORTURED.
Lee: ON TODAY'S "700
CLUB."
*
[APPLAUSE]
Pat: WELL, WELCOME,
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, TO
THIS EDITION OF "THE 700
CLUB."
WE'VE GOT A SHOCKING STORY
FOR YOU TODAY.
SHE WENT THROUGH IT, A SEX
SLAVE, TWO YEARS IN
BONDAGE.
YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT
HAPPENED TO HER.
AND, WELL, SHE'LL BE HERE TO
TELL US THE STORY.
IN ADDITION, YOU WON'T
BELIEVE WHAT'S GOING TO
HAPPEN TO YOU WHEN THIS
OBAMACARE TAKES HOLD.
AND WE'VE GOT AN EXPERT ON
THAT.
FIRST OF ALL, YOU DIDN'T
HEAR THIS DURING ALL THE
GLOW OF THE POLITICAL
CAMPAIGN, WHICH RE-ELECTED
OUR PRESIDENT.
BUT GUESS WHAT?
IN THE LAST QUARTER OF LAST
YEAR, THE ECONOMY SLOWED
DOWN DRAMATICALLY.
BUT IT DIDN'T SEEM TO HURT
THE STOCK MARKET.
THE DOW JONES HAS BEEN GOING
UP NOW FOR MONTHS.
Kristi: PAT, NOW STOCKS
ARE NEAR RECORD HIGHS, AND
THE HOUSING MARKET IS
GETTING STRONGER, TOO.
EPHRAIM GRAHAM TELLS US WHAT
IS HAPPENING ON WALL STREET
AND MAIN STREET.
Reporter: THE NATION'S
ECONOMIC GROWTH RATE MAY BE
SLOW, BUT THE U.S. HOUSING
AND STOCK MARKETS ARE
SOARING.
THE DOW CLOSED AT ITS
HIGHEST LEVEL IN TWO YEARS,
NEARLY HITTING THE 14,000
MARK, AND ONLY 200 POINTS
AWAY FROM ITS ALL-TIME
HIGH.
THAT IS GOOD NEWS FOR
AMERICAN INVESTORS.
THE AVERAGE 401K RETIREMENT
ACCOUNT IS UP ABOUT 20% OVER
LAST YEAR.
IN THE WORST-CASE
SCENARIOS, THAT PEOPLE WERE
LOOKING AT IN 2008, THEY CAN
START TO SAY, ALL RIGHT,
WE'RE NOT GOING TO GO
THERE.
Reporter: THE HOUSING
MARKET IS ALSO PUSHING
FORWARD.
HOME PRICES ROSE 5.5% IN
NOVEMBER, COMPARED TO A
YEARS AGO.
THIS IS A MIRACLE IN
MOTION.
WE HAVEN'T SEEN THIS IN
PROBABLY SEVEN YEARS.
Reporter: HOUSING
PRICES HAVE GONE UP 10
MONTHS IN A ROW.
EXPERTS CREDIT THE PROGRESS
TO HISTORICALLY LOW INTEREST
RATES.
MORTGAGE RATES ARE SO
LOW.
Reporter: BUT WHILE THE
ECONOMY CONTINUES IT'S SLOW
RECOVERY, BOTH THE FED AND
THE ECONOMISTS WARN: WHAT
HAPPENS IN CONGRESS OVER THE
NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS COULD
DRAMATICALLY CHANGE THINGS.
AND IT COULD THROW THE
ECONOMY BACK INTO A
RECESSION.
CONSUMER CONFIDENCE JUST
DROPPED 8.1 POINTS.
THE REASON, WHEN LAWMAKERS
REACHED A DEAL TO AVOID TAX
INCREASES FOR MOST
AMERICANS, THEY DID NOT
EXTEND THE CUT ON SOCIAL
SECURITY TAXES.
THAT MEANS AMERICANS ARE
BRINGING HOME LESS MONEY IN
THEIR PAYCHECK.
BUT FOR NOW, BOTH SMALL AND
LARGE INVESTORS ARE
CELEBRATING THE GOOD NEWS ON
WALL STREET.
EPHRAIM GRAHAM, CBN NEWS.
Pat: WELL, EPHRAIM,
I'LL TELL YOU SOMETHING:
10,000 AMERICANS REACH
RETIREMENT AGE EVERY SINGLE
DAY.
THE BABY-BOOMERS ARE GETTING
OLDER.
AND WHEN THEY HIT THE 65
MARK, THEY BEGIN TO RETIRE
AND THEY START DRAWING
SOCIAL SECURITY AND OTHER
PENSIONS.
THAT DRAWDOWN IS GOING TO BE
ENORMOUS IN THE NEXT FEW
YEARS.
AND WHILE THINGS MAY LOOK
OKAY FOR STOCKS AND THE
ECONOMY RIGHT NOW,
WASHINGTON STILL FACES A
SERIOUS LONG-TERM PROBLEM ON
THE HORIZON.
LEE WEBB HAS THAT STORY FROM
THE CBN NEWS ROOM.
LEE?
Lee: PAT, THE NATIONAL
DEBT IS HEADED TOWARDS
DANGEROUSLY HIGH LEVELS THAT
COULD THREATEN THE U.S.
ECONOMY.
THAT'S ACCORDING TO A REPORT
FROM A BUDGET WATCHDOG
GROUP, THE PETER G.PETERSON
FOUNDATION.
THAT STUDY SAYS THE DEBT
COULD REACH 200% OF THE
ECONOMY.
THAT MUCH DEBT IS HARD TO
PAY BACK WITHOUT HEAVY TAXES
OR INFLATION, AND THAT COULD
LEAD TO ANOTHER MAJOR
FINANCIAL CRISIS, LIKE THE
ONE WE HAD IN 2008.
SUPREME COURT JUST ANTHONY
SCALICE SAYS IT IS A MISTAKE
TO CONSIDER THE CONSTITUTION
A LIVING DOCUMENT.
HE SAYS THE CONSTITUTION IS,
QUOTE,"DEAD, DEAD, DEAD."
AND HE SAYS THOSE THAT
BELIEVE THE CONSTITUTION IS
A LIVING DOCUMENT, MEANS IT
IS FLEXIBLE AND CHANGES WITH
THE TIME.
THE DALLAS REPORT SAYS
SCALLIA
TOLD THE STUDENTS AT
S.M.U., THAT
IDEA IS WRONG.
HE SAYS THE JUDGE
HAS TO
FOLLOW
THE CONSTITUTION, NOT
HIS
OWN BELIEFS.
A DEPARTMENT SPOKESPERSON
TELLS CBN NEWS THEY'RE
DEEPLY DISAPPOINTED WITH
PASTOR ABEDINI'S EIGHT YEAR
SENTENCE.
THE STATE DEPARTMENT
SAYS, "WITH CONDEMN PRISON
SENTENCE, AND WE CALL ON
THEM TO RELEASE HIM."
Pat: THE IDEA OF
GETTING A FAIR TRIAL IN IRAN
IS A JOKE.
THEY DO WHAT THE MULLAHS
TELL THEM TO DO, AND THE
MULLAHS WANTED TO THROW THE
BOOK AT THIS POOR GUY.
THEY PUT HIM IN ONE OF THOSE
OUTRAGEOUS PRISONS.
THE CHANCES OF HIM COMING
OUT ALIVE IS VERY SLIM.
WE MIGHT POINT OUT THAT
EGYPT IS ON THE VERGE OF
COLLAPSE.
THAT WAS THE HEADLINE IN
TODAY'S PAPER.
THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD HAS
SHOWN THEIR HAND.
AND THEY HAVE GOTTEN --
WELL, THEY HAVE TAKEN THE
EXTREME POSITION THAT THOSE
ISLAMISTS TAKE, AND WHO
KNOWS WHAT IS HAPPENING TO
THE RULE OF LAW, BUT IN ANY
EVENT, HERE IS THE STORY.
Lee: A HIGH-RANKING
AGENT TO MOHAMMED MORSI SAYS
THE HOLOCAUST NEVER
HAPPENED.
HE SAYS HITLER'S MURDER OF
SIX MILLION JEWS WAS A
FABRICATION.
FAT-ISH ELIM CALLS THE
HOLOCAUST A MYTH AND AN
INDUSTRY THAT AMERICA
MADEED. MADE UP.
PAT?
Pat: IT IS THIS KIND
OF, WELL, BLINDNESS, I
GUESS, MYOPIA, WHATEVER TERM
YOU WANT TO GIVE IT, THAT
SEEMS TO CENTER ON THE
ISLAMIC PEOPLE.
THEY JUST BELIEVE LIES AND
THEY LIVE LIES AND THEY TELL
LIES.
AND IT IS JUST EXTRAORDINARY
WHAT IS HAPPENING IN EGYPT.
AND GUESS WHAT?
THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION IS
GOING FORWARD TO SELL HIGH,
SOPHISTICATED,
HIGH-PERFORMANCE, F-16 JET
AIRPLANES TO EGYPT.
WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO USE
THEM FOR?
THEY ONLY HAVE ONE POTENTIAL
TARGET.
THERE IS NOBODY ELSE.
THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BOMB
SUDAN.
THEY'RE NOT GOING TO FIGHT
SYRIA.
WHO ARE THEY GOING AFTER?
WELL, THEY'RE GOING AFTER
ISRAEL.
AND THAT'S WHAT THESE PLANES
WILL DO.
AND WHY WE WENT FORWARD IN
LIGHT OF WHAT IS HAPPENING
IN EGYPT, I DON'T KNOW.
BUT, IN ANY EVENT, THAT
COUNTRY IS CHAOS.
THE BIGGEST THING IS THEY
WANT TO IMPOSE SHARI'A LAW
ON THE PEOPLE.
AND THOSE WHO ARE
INDEPENDENT, THOSE WHO ARE
COPTIC CHRISTIANS, AND THOSE
WHO ARE OTHER RELIGIONS
DON'T WANT IT.
THAT WHOLE COUNTRY IS IN
DANGER OF BREAKING APART,
AND THE ARMY MAY HAVE TO
MOVE IN
TO RESTORE ORDER.
Lee: HERE AT
HOME, PAT,
A STORM SYSTEM YOU
WOULD
TYPICALLY SEE IN THE SPRING
RIPPED THROUGH THE NATION'S
MID SECTION.
LIGHTNING STRUCK AND INJURED
ONE PERSON IN ARKANSAS.
THERE ARE DOWNED TREES AND
EVEN REPORTS OF TORNADOS IN
THAT STATE.
AT LEAST 9,000 HOMES AND
BUSINESSES LOST
ELECTRICITY.
I WAS LEAVING FOR SCHOOL,
AND I GOT A PHONE CALL FROM
THE BUS DRIVER, AND SAID,
HEY, YOU HAVE ELECTRIC POLES
AND TREES DOWN IN YOUR
YARD.
AND I GOT HOME, AND EVEN
PART OF THE ROOF WAS DOWN.
Lee: WOW!
CHICAGO RESIDENTS HAVE BEEN
WHIP LASHED BY WEATHER
EXTREMES.
THERE WERE SUBZERO
TEMPERATURES AND BRUTAL
WINDCHILLS A WEEK AGO, BUT
TEMPERATURES SOARED TO THE
MID-60s ON TUESDAY.
A MEDICAL MIRACLE FOR AN
IRAQI WAR VETERAN.
THE ONLY SHOULDER WHO LOST
BOTH ARMS AND BOTH LEGS.
DOCTORS PERFORMED A DOUBLE
ARM TRANSPLANT ON
26-YEAR-OLD BRENDAN.
THEY CONNECTED BONE,
MUSCLES, NERVES, AND SKIN,
AND IT IS FASCINATING TO
HEAR HOW THE SURGEONS
PREPARED FOR THIS
COMPLICATED OPERATION.
THE SURGICAL TEAM
REHEARSED THE PROCEDURE ON
CADAVER ARMS FOUR TIMES, AND
THE ACTUAL PLAN WAS EXECUTED
ACCORDING TO OUR DESIGN.
I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT
TO SAY BECAUSE IT IS REALLY
SUCH A BIG THING FOR MY
LIFE.
IT IS JUST FANTASTIC.
Lee: AND HE LOOKS
GREAT, TOO.
DOCTORS SAY THE NERVES IN
BRENDAN'S ARMS WILL
REGENERATE ONE INCH PER
MONTH.
HE SHOULD HAVE FULL USE OF
THEM EVENTUALLY.
AND HE SAYS HE LOOKS FORWARD
TO DRIVING BEGAN AND PLANS
TO HAND CYCLE A MARATHON.
Pat: ONE OF THE GREAT
DOCTORS IN AMERICA IS BEN
CARSON, THE ONE WHO
SEPARATED CONJOINED TWINS.
NOBODY HAD EVER DONE THAT
BEFORE.
AND HE SERVED AS A MEMBER OF
THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF
REGENT UNIVERSITY.
I BELIEVE HE IS GOING INTO
INACTIVE STATUS.
SHE HAS BEEN HEAD OF
PEDIATRIC NEUROSURGERY AT
JOHNS HOPKINS.
THIS WAS DONE AT JOHNS
HOPKINS, AND IT IS ONE MORE
KUDO FOR THE EXCELLENT
PHYSICIANS AT THAT
HOSPITAL.
KRISTI, YOU WERE A STELLER
STAR ON THE TELEPHONE.
Kristi: PRAISE GOD.
WE'LL GIVE HIM ALL OF THE
CREDIT.
Pat: YOU LOOK HEALTHY
AND LOVELY.
Kristi: I FEEL REALLY,
REALLY GOOD.
IT IS AMAZING WHAT REST
DOES.
WE HAVE AN AMAZING SHOW.
PAT TALKED ABOUT IT A LITTLE
AT THE TOP OF THE SHOW.
CHECK THIS OUT.
COMING UP, YOU'RE GOING TO
HEAR HOW AN ALL-AMERICAN
GIRL WOUND UP BECOMING A SEX
SLAVE.
FIRST, IT HAS BEEN ALMOST
THREE YEARS SINCE OBAMACARE
PASSED, AND WE'RE STILL NOT
SURE WHAT IS IN THE BILL.
ONE AUTHOR TELLS US JUST
WHAT THE DOCTOR ORDERED.
UP NEXT.
*
Pat: IT WAS A
NIGHTMARE.
IT WAS A LEGISLATIVE
NIGHTMARE, AND THE AMAZING
STATEMENT, AND I WILL REFER
TO IT A NUMBER OF TIMES, THE
TEN DEMOCRATIC SPEAKER OF
THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
OF THE UNITED STATES SAID WE
MUST PASS THIS BILL SO WE
CAN SEE WHAT'S IN IT.
THEY DIDN'T HAVE A CLUE.
AND IT'S DOUBTFUL THAT ANY
CONGRESSMAN READ THE WHOLE
THING THROUGH.
NOW THAT THE PRESIDENT HAS
BEEN ELECTED, THE NEW HEALTH
CARE PLAN IS THE LAW OF THE
LAND.
AND IT IS HIGHLY UNLIKELY
THAT IT WILL BE REMOVED.
BUT IT MAY MEAN SOME
IMPORTANT CHANGES FOR EVERY
AMERICAN'S HEALTH CARE.
AND MOST PEOPLE STILL DON'T
LIKE THE NEW LAW.
BUT ONE WOMAN SAYS THERE ARE
SEPSTEPS YOU CAN TAKE TO
SURVIVE AND BEAT OBAMACARE.
TAKE A LOOK.
Reporter: YOU MAY NOT
KNOW HER NAME, BUT YOU MAY
RECOGNIZE BETSY AS THE WOMAN
WHO SHOWS UP AT TELEVISION
INTERVIEWS, LUGGING THE
ENTIRE 2,572 PAGE HEALTH
CARE LAW WITH HER.
SHE IS A LAWYER AND HEALTH
CARE POLICY EXPERT, WHO HAS
POURED OVER EVERY DETAIL OF
THE LAW, AND HAS BEEN
SOUNDING THE LAW ABOUT ITS
SHOCKING REALITIES.
FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU
PRESENTLY GET HEALTH
INSURANCE THROUGH YOUR JOB,
YOU MAY LOSE IT AS OF
JANUARY 1, 2013.
IF YOU'RE A SENIOR OR A
BABY-BOOMER, YOU CAN EXPECT
LESS CARE THAN IN THE PAST.
AND AS OF 2014, YOU HAVE TO
SHOW PROOF ON YOUR TAX
RETURN THAT YOU'RE INVOLVED
IN A GOVERNMENT APPROVED
HEALTH CARE PLAN OR PAY A
HEFTY PENT.
PENALTY.
HER NEW BOOK, "BEATING
OBAMACARE, YOUR HANDBOOK FOR
SURVIVING THE NEW HEALTH
CARE LAW," BRINGS IT DOWN TO
ITS ESSENTIAL FACTS, TO GIVE
YOU WHAT YOU NEED TO PREPARE
FOR THE COMING STORM.
Pat: BETSY McCOY, SHE
IS WITH US.
IT IS AN INTRIGUING
BOOK, "BEATING OBAMACARE."
BETSY, HOW DID YOU SURVIVE
READING THIS THING?
WELL, HERE IT IS.
THE ENTIRE OBAMA HEALTH LAW,
AND, ACTUALLY, I READ IT SO
YOU DON'T HAVE TO.
BUT EVERYBODY DOES NEED TO
KNOW WHAT'S IN THIS LAW
BECAUSE SO MANY AMERICANS
ARE ALREADY GETTING
CLOBBERED WITH THE EFFECTS
OF THIS LAW.
FOR EXAMPLE, MOST AMERICANS
GET THEIR HEALTH INSURANCE
AT WORK, EITHER THROUGH
THEIR OWN JOB OR THEIR
SPOUSE% JOB.
IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS, MANY
AMERICANS ARE GOING TO HEAR
THEIR EMPLOYER IS DROPPING
COVERAGE.
Pat: WHY ARE THEY GOING
TO DROP COVERAGE?
BECAUSE THE LAW SAYS
BEGINNING IN 2014, EMPLOYERS
WITH 50 OR MORE FULL-TIME
WORKERS HAVE TO PROVIDE
COVERAGE.
THEY HAVE TO PROVIDE THIS
ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL GOVERNMENT
MANDATED PACKAGE OF
ESSENTIAL BENEFITS.
IT WILL COST ABOUT TWICE AS
MUCH OF WHAT MANY EMPLOYERS
ARE CURRENTLY PAYING.
MANY ARE SAYING, I CAN'T
AFFORD THAT, I'M GOING TO
STOP COVERAGE ENTIRELY AND
PAY THE PENALTY.
AND SOME EMPLOYERS ARE
PUSHING DOWN THEIR FULL-TIME
WORKERS TO PART-TIME STATUS,
MEANING LESS THAN 30 HOURS A
WEEK, TO AVOID THE LAW
ENTIRELY.
THAT'S ONE OF THE PIECES OF
BAD NEWS.
THIS BENEFIT PACKAGE ADDS A
WHOPPING $1.79 AN HOUR TO
THE COST OF HIRING A WORKER,
LIKE A WAITRESS OR AN
ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT.
IT JUST MAKES IT TOO
COSTLY.
Pat: BETSY, THE
POLITICAL CLASS DURING THIS
ELECTION KEPT TALKING ABOUT
WE'RE GOING TO CREATE JOBS.
WE NEED JOBS, JOBS, JOBS.
YOU HEARD IT ALL THE TIME.
THIS IS A JOB KILLER OF THE
FIRST ORDER.
WHY DON'T THE DEMOCRATS
RECOGNIZE THAT?
WELL, AND WHAT IS
SHOCKING IS THAT THE
GOVERNMENT'S OWN ECONOMISTS
PROJECTED BEFORE THIS BILL
WAS PASSED INTO LAW, THAT
FEWER PEOPLE WOULD GET
HEALTH COVERAGE ON THE JOB
AFTER THIS LAW WAS PASSED
THAN IF IT WEREN'T PASSED AT
ALL.
THEY KNEW PEOPLE WERE GOING
TO LOSE THEIR ON THE JOB
COVERAGE, AND EVERYBODY
NEEDS TO BE PREPARED FOR
THAT.
ACTUALLY, THE BIGGEST IMPACT
OF ALL IS ON SENIORS.
BECAUSE CUTS TO THIS LAW,
CUTS TO MEDICARE UNDER THIS
LAW PAY FOR OVER HALF THIS
LAW.
IMAGINE THAT, CUTS TO
MEDICARE PAY FOR OVER HALF
THIS LAW.
Pat: HOW CAN THE
PRESIDENT GET ON TELEVISION
AND SAY I'M CONCERNED ABOUT
THE SENIORS, AND THESE
REPUBLICANS DON'T -- IT IS A
PACK OF LIES.
YOU USED THE RIGHT WORD,
IT'S LIES.
HERE IS WHAT SENIORS NEED TO
EXPECT.
AND THIS IS STRAIGHT FROM
THE CHIEF AC WARE OF
MEDICARE, RICHARD FOSTER, HE
HAS TOLD CONGRESS TWICE THAT
SENIORS WILL GET MUCH LESS
CARE IN THE FUTURE THAN
THEY'RE CURRENTLY GETTING.
ABOUT $1,431 LESS CARE PER
YEAR THAN THEY CURRENTLY
RECEIVE.
NOW THAT MEANS A BIG
DIFFERENCE TO MANY SENIORS.
AND THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE
IS GOING TO BE HOSPITAL
CARE.
HOSPITALS -- SOME WILL STOP
TAKING MEDICARE, ACCORDING
TO FOSTER, AND THE HOSPITALS
THAT CONTINUE TO TAKE
MEDICARE WILL HAVE TO SPREAD
NURSES THINNER.
THAT WILL MEAN WHEN YOU PUSH
THAT BUTTON FOR HELP, YOU'RE
GOING TO WAIT LONGER.
WE HAVE A LOT OF EVIDENCE
THAT WHEN HOSPITALS SPREAD
NURSES THINNER AND INCREASE
THE WORKLOAD ON NURSES,
PATIENTS HAVE A HARDER TIME
SURVIVING THEIR ILLNESS.
Pat: WHAT IS THIS
BUSINESS IN 2014, I GUESS,
THAT IF YOU -- YOU HAVE TO
SHOW THE I.R.S. YOU HAVE A
GOVERNMENT-APPROVED PLAN.
IF YOU DON'T, YOU PAY A
FINE.
TELL US ABOUT THAT?
THAT'S RIGHT.
WHEN YOU FILE YOUR TAXES,
YOU WILL HAVE TO ATTACH
PROOF THAT YOU ARE ENROLLED
IN THE GOVERNMENT-APPROVED
PLAN.
IF YOU DON'T, YOU MAY NOT
GET YOUR REFUND.
THAT'S HOW THEY WITHHOLD THE
PENALTY.
THEY JUST DON'T SEND YOU
PART OR ALL OF YOUR REFUND.
I THINK THE TWO MOST
SHOCKING PROVISIONS IN THIS
LAW, ONE IS SECTION 3,000
"A," THAT ACTUALLY AWARDS
BONUS POINTS TO HOSPITALS
THAT SPEND THE LEAST PER
SENIOR.
THEY REWARD THE HOSPITALS
THAT SPEND THE LEAST PER
SENIOR.
WE HAVE SO MUCH EVIDENCE
THAT THE HOSPITALS THAT
SPEND THE LEAST FOR SENIORS
HAVE SUBSTANTIALLY HIGHER
DEATH RATES FROM PNEUMONIA,
HEART ATTACKS AND OTHER
ILLNESSES COMMON AMONG THE
ELDERLY.
THOSE PATIENTS IN THOSE
HOSPITALS JUST DON'T HAVE A
GOOD CHANCE OF MAKING IT
HOME AGAIN.
Pat: THIS IS A
HEARTLESS MON TRO MONTROSITY.
IT IS A NIGHTMARE.
IT IS A NIGHTMARE.
THEY SOLD IT AS HELPING THE
UNINSURED, SOMETHING I VERY
MUCH WANT TO DO, BUT, IN
FACT, THIS TAKES A LOT OF
HEALTH CARE AWAY FROM PEOPLE
WHO CURRENTLY HAVE
INSURANCE.
AND THE OTHER SHOCKER IS
SECTION 1311, WHICH PUTS THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IN CHARGE
OF YOUR CARE.
EVEN IF YOUR A PRIVATE
HEALTH CARE THAT YOU PAID
FOR YOURSELF WITH NO SUBSIDY
AT ALL.
IT SAYS THAT THE DOCTORS
MUST OBEY WHATEVER
REGULATIONS THE HEALTH
MINISTER IMPOSES.
THAT MEANS WHEN YOUR O.B.
Y.N. DOES A CESAREAN, AND
WHAT KINDS OF QUESTIONS YOUR
DOCTORS MUST ASK YOU AND
MUST INCLUDE IN THAT
ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORD.
Pat: I'M SPEECHLESS.
SO SAY GOOD-BYE TO HEALTH
CARE PRIVACY.
IT'S OVER.
Pat: I'M SPEECHLESS,
ABSOLUTELY SPEECHLESS, THAT
THEY WOULD DO THIS AND IT
WOULD GO THROUGH.
AND THE PEOPLE WOULD VOTE
FOR IT.
IT DID PASS THE CONGRESS.
YOUR BOOK IS CALLED "BEATING
OBAMA CARE."
GIVE US A CLUE, HOW DO YOU
BEAT IT, YOUR CHANCE OF
SURVIVING.
LET ME GIVE YOU SOME VERY
SPECIFIC EXAMPLES.
IF YOU'RE A BABY-BOOMER IN
YOUR LATE 50s OR EARLY
60s, LINE UP YOUR
RELATIONSHIPS WITH DOCTORS
NOW, A PRIMARY CARE DOCTOR,
AN INTERNIST, A
CARDIOLOGIST, AND SOLIDIFY
THOSE.
BECAUSE IF YOU WAIT UNTIL
YOUR 65 AND ON MEDICARE, YOU
WILL NOT BE ABLE TO FIND A
DOCTOR WILLING TO TREAT
YOU.
Pat: BETSY, YOU HAVE
DONE A LANDMARK JOB.
I DON'T THINK ANYBODY HAS
DONE THE WORK YOU'VE DONE.
CONGRATULATIONS.
THANK YOU.
Pat: YOU'RE BOOK IS
AVAILABLE --
amazon.com, BARNS AND
BARNES AND NOBEL, AND IT IS
CALLED "BEATING OBAMACARE."
Pat: HOW DO YOU GET
McCOY OUT OF McCOYIE.
IT'S A REAL SCOTTISH
NAME.
Pat: KRISTI?
Kristi: FOR YEARS,
TERESA FLORENCE WAS CAUGHT
UP IN A SEX TRAFFICKING
RING.
AND IF SHE TRIED TO ESCAPE,
HER FAMILY WOULD BE KILLED.
I KNEW IF I TALKED, IF I
TOLD THEM WHO DID IT, I
WOULD BE DEAD.
Kristi: YOU'LL FIND OUT
HOW SHE GOT OUT OF THE LIFE
AND HOW SHE IS HELPING
OTHERS DO THE SAME.
UP NEXT.
Pat: WE LIVE IN THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
IN OUR COUNTRY, 300,000
YOUNG GIRLS ARE IN SO-CALLED
SEX TRAFFIC,SEX SLAVES.
THEY SAY WITH THE SUPER BOWL
COMING UP, THAT IS THE
GATHERING PLACE WHERE THE
PIMPS BRING ALL OF THEIR
YOUNG GIRLS, AND THEY PUT
THEM UP IN HOTELS AND
MOTELS, AND THEY'LL BE IN
NEW ORLEANS, THICK AS FLIES,
AND THE POLICE WILL IGNORE
IT.
AND IT'S GOING TO BE
HORRIBLE.
I READ THIS BOOK, IT'S
CALLED "THE SLAVE ACROSS THE
STREET."
AND IT'S QUITE A BOOK.
WELL, TERESA FLORENCE KNOWS
ALL TOO WELL ABOUT THE
EXPLOITATION OF WOMEN
BECAUSE FOR TWO YEARS SHE
WAS A SEX SLAVE HERSELF.
WHEN WE THINK OF
TRAFFICKING, WE THINK OF
MOVEMENT, YOU KNOW, BACK AND
FORTH.
AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE
MOVEMENT.
YOU CAN HAVE A GIRL IN THE
HOME AND BRING MEN TO HER
ALL NIGHT LONG, AND THAT'S
TRAFFICLY.
Reporter: TERESA
FLORENCE KNOWS BECAUSE SHE
WAS A VICTIM.
THEY HAD THE WHOLE
BUSINESS SET UP.
THEY WERE -- I MEAN, I WAS
A, YOU KNOW, PRETTY,
STRAWBERRY BLONDE, WHITE
GIRL.
AND THEY WERE CHARGING QUITE
A LOT OF MONEY, I BELIEVE.
Reporter: IT ALL
STARTED AFTER SCHOOL ONE
DAY, WITH A BOY SHE HAD A
CRUSH ON.
HE WAS, LIKE, TERESA, DO
YOU WANT TO RIDE HOME FROM
SCHOOL?
I'M THINKING, I'M SUPPOSED
TO BE IN TRACK PRACTICE, BUT
HE IS SITTING THERE OFFERING
ME A RIDE HOME FROM SCHOOL.
SO I WAS, LIKE, OKAY.
SO WE GET IN THE CAR, AND HE
TURNS THE WRONG WAY.
I LIVE TO THE LEFT, AND HE
PULLED OUT TO THE RIGHT.
AND I WAS, LIKE, WAIT.
WHERE ARE WE GOING?
SO WE PULL UP TO HIS HOUSE.
AND THERE WAS NO CARS IN THE
DRIVEWAY, WHICH I THOUGHT
WAS REALLY WEIRD BECAUSE
MOST PEOPLE WERE
STAY-AT-HOME MOMS.
HE SAID, I NEED TO JUST GRAB
SOMETHING.
DO YOU WANT TO COME INSIDE?
I SAID NO, I'M NOT
ALLOWED TO.
I'VE GOT TO GET HOME TO MY
MOM.
AND HE JUST TURNED TO ME AND
SAID, I LIKE YOU.
Reporter: TERESA WAS
ONLY 15 YEARS OLD.
HER FAMILY MOVED ALMOST
EVERY TWO YEARS BECAUSE OF
HER FATHER'S JOB, AND SHE
DESPERATELY WANTED TO BE
ACCEPTED IN HER NEW
COMMUNITY OUTSIDE OF
DETROIT.
SO HE IGNORED THE RED FLAGS
AND WENT INSIDE.
HE OFFERED ME A POP, SO I
TOOK IT AND DRANK IT.
I REMEMBER FEELING REALLY
WEIRD.
LIKE JUST REALLY DIZZY, LIKE
THE ROOM WAS SPINNING.
HE DRUGGED ME AND THEN HE
RAPED ME.
Reporter: THE NEXT DAY
THE BOY TOLD HER THAT HIS
COUSINS HAD BEEN THERE AND
HAD SECRETLY TAKEN
PICTURES.
AND THE PICTURES DIDN'T MAKE
IT LOOK LIKE RAPE AT ALL.
TERESA HAD BEEN SET UP FOR
SEXUAL BLACKMAIL.
I REMEMBER GETTING THE
PHONE CALL, AND IT WAS --
BECAUSE I HAD A PRIVATE
PHONE, AND I ANSWERED, AND
IT WAS HIM.
AND THEY SAID, THEY WANT TO
SEE YOU NOW.
AND I JUST SAID, YOU'RE
CRAZY.
YOU'RE CRAZY.
MY MOM AND DAD ARE HERE.
AND I CAN'T GO AT MIDNIGHT.
AND HE WAS, LIKE, TERESA,
YOU NEED TO TAKE THIS
SERIOUSLY.
AND STUPIDLY I WENT.
THEY HAD THOSE PICTURES.
I MEAN, I WAS 15, AND IN MY
MIND, MY REPUTATION WOULD
HAVE BEEN DEVASTATED,
TOTALLY GONE.
BUT THE BIGGEST THING WAS
THEY WERE GOING TO SHOW THEM
TO MY DAD.
Reporter: SO TERESA
SNEAKED OUT OF HER HOUSE FOR
THE FIRST TIME IN HER LIFE.
STILL IN HER PAJAMAS AND
BAREFOOT, SO SHE WOULDN'T
WAKE HER PARENTS.
THE BOY MET HER IN THE ALLEY
AND TOOK HER TO HIS HOME.
HIS TWO COUSINS WERE
STANDING THERE.
THEY SAID, YOU'RE GOING TO
EARN THESE BACK.
AND I'M, LIKE, OKAY, HOW?
AND HE SAID, BY DOING
WHATEVER WE TELL YOU TO DO.
AND THEY PROCEEDED TO RAPE
ME.
Reporter: THAT WAS JUST
THE BEGINNING OF WHAT BECAME
TWO LONG YEARS OF
INTIMIDATION AND SEXUAL
ABUSE.
NOT JUST FROM THE TWO
COUSINS, BUT FROM HUNDREDS
OF MEN.
IT PROBABLY WAS THREE
DOZEN A WEEK, THREE OR FOUR
HOURS AT A TIME.
NEVER LESS THAN TWO PEOPLE A
NIGHT.
PROBABLY ABOUT 10.
YEAH, TIED UP, SPREAD EAGLE,
WHICH IS, YOU KNOW,
HORRIBLE.
THEY WOULD USE DIFFERENT
OBJECTS AND, YOU KNOW, HIT
YOU AND BE NOT JUST ONE
PERSON AT A TIME, EITHER.
I MEAN, NUMEROUS PEOPLE, AND
JUST TAKE THEIR TURN AFTER
TURN.
I WASN'T PERMITTED TO
SPEAK.
NOT EVEN ONE WORD.
I MEAN, THIS ONE GUY CAME IN
ONE TIME AND HE ASKED, YOU
KNOW, ONE OF THE COUSINS
WHAT'S HER NAME?
AND THE RESPONSE REALLY
CRUSHED ME.
EVEN MORE THAN HAVING TO DO
THOSE PHYSICAL ACTS.
BECAUSE HE SAID, IT DOESN'T
MATTER.
SHE DOESN'T HAVE A NAME.
AND I JUST WANTED TO DIE.
THEY WOULD TELL ME OVER AND
OVER AGAIN THAT WE OWN YOU.
YOU HAVE TO DO THIS FOR AS
LONG AS WE SAY, OR ELSE
WE'LL KILL YOUR FAMILY.
IF I WENT OUT TO THE
MAILBOX, SOMETIMES THERE
WOULD BE A BLACK ROSE OR A
DEAD BIRD IN THE MAILBOX,
JUST TO LET ME KNOW THAT
THAT COULD BE ME.
THEY WERE VERY INTIMIDATING
TO THE TEACHERS AS WELL.
THEY WOULD PULL ME RIGHT OUT
OF CLASS, RIGHT OUT OF
TYPING CLASS, AND SAY WE
NEED TO SEE HER.
AND THEY WOULD, YOU KNOW,
TAKE ME TO SOMEBODY'S HOUSE
THAT I DIDN'T KNOW IN THE
NEIGHBORHOOD, AND TAKE ME IN
TO THE SAME SCENARIO.
TO A BASEMENT THAT WAS MADE
OVER, AND GUYS WERE THERE
WAITING.
YOU KNOW, MOMS AND GRANDMAS
AND THE KIDS UPSTAIRS.
THEY WERE UPSTAIRS COOKING
DINNER, OR DOING THEIR
HOMEWORK.
AND I WAS DOWN THERE BEING
TORTURED.
Reporter: AFTER EACH
EPISODE, SHE WOULD SINK INTO
A BATH AT HOME, AND TRY TO
WASH AWAY BOTH THE PHYSICAL
AND THE EMOTIONAL PAIN.
BUT ONLY A COUPLE OF HOURS A
SLEEP AT NIGHT, HER GRADES
DRASTICALLY DROPPED.
TERESA'S PARENTS BLAMED IT
ON HORMONES AND SENT HER TO
A COUNSELLOR, BUT SHE
REFUSED TO TALK.
IT WASN'T WORTH IT, DIE
OR TELL SOMEBODY.
AND ARE THEY GOING TO
BELIEVE YOU?
THE TORTURE IN THE
CONVERTED BASEMENTS
CONTINUED, AND TERESA
ENDURED IT, BELIEVING THAT
EVENTUALLY SHE WOULD EARN
THOSE PICTURES BACK.
I BELIEVED, STUPIDLY,
THAT I WAS GOING TO BE GOOD
ENOUGH TO GET THEM BACK.
AND IT WOULD BE ALL OVER AND
I COULD GO ON WITH MY LIFE
AGAIN.
Reporter: JUST WHEN SHE
COULD BARELY TAKE ANY MORE
ABUSE, THE TORTURE
INCREASED.
INSTEAD OF BEING TAKEN TO A
BASEMENT, TERESA WAS DRUGGED
AND TRANSPORTED FAR OUT OF
TOWN.
THEY PULLED ME OUT OF THE
CAR BY MY HAIR, AND I STOOD
THERE.
AND WE WERE IN -- IT SEEMED
TO BE LIKE AN INNER CITY,
AND IT WAS A NASTY MOTEL.
I COULDN'T SEE THE BED.
I COULDN'T SEE THE DRESSER
BECAUSE THERE WERE SO MANY
GUYS IN THERE.
I REMEMBERED LAYING THERE
AND THINKING, I WANT MY
MOMMY.
Reporter: SOMEONE AT
THE MOTEL CALLED THE POLICE,
AND THEY DROVE HER HOME.
THE POLICE OFFICER LOOKED
AT ME, AND I KEPT MY EYES
DOWN.
AND HE SAID, YOU KNOW, I
KNOW WHO DID THIS.
I KNOW WHO IS BEHIND THIS.
THIS IS THE NAME OF THE
PEOPLE, RIGHT?
AND I KEPT MY EYES DOWN.
I KNEW IF I TALKED, IF I
TOLD THEM WHO DID IT, I
WOULD BE DEAD, WITHOUT A
DOUBT.
Reporter: WITHIN 24
HOURS TERESA'S DOG WENT
MISSING.
SHE GOT A CALL FROM THE
COUSINS.
HEARD BARKING IN THE
BACKGROUND, AND THEN A
GUNSHOT.
BEFORE THEY HAD A CHANCE TO
TAKE HER LIFE, TERESA'S DEAD
GOT A JOB TRANSFER.
AND HER TIME AS A SEX SLAVE
ENDED.
SHE RECEIVED A FEW OF THE
PHOTOS BACK, AND WAS
REPLACED IN THE TRAFFICKING
RING BY ANOTHER UNSUSPECTING
TEENAGED GIRL.
THEN THE LONG JOURNEY OF
HEALING BEGAN.
Pat: WHAT A STORY.
IT'S PUT OUT IN THE BOOK
CALLED "THE SLAVE ACROSS THE
STREET."
IT IS A RIVETING STORY THAT
TERESA HAS WRITTEN.
AND TERESA FLORENCE JOINS US
FOR THE REST OF HER STORY.
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.
THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.
Pat: YOU WERE 15 YEARS
OLD, AND THIS BOY YOU WERE
ATTRACTED TO AS A TEENAGER,
HE GOT YOU IN A HOUSE AND
RAPED YOU.
UH-HUH.
Pat: AND YOU WERE
COVERED WITH BLOOD, AS
UNDERSTAND IT?
YES, I WAS.
Pat: YOU NEVER HAD SEX
BEFORE?
YUP.
I WAS A VIRGIN.
Pat: THAT IS STATUTORY
RAPE.
AND HE COULD HAVE BEEN
ARRESTED AND PUT IN JAIL,
BUT YOU DIDN'T KNOW THAT,
DID YOU?
I HAD NO IDEA.
Pat: BUT HE HAD A
COUSIN TAKING PICTURES.
AND WHAT DID HE SAY?
YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO
EARN THESE BACK.
Pat: AND HE SAID, IF
NOT, HE WAS GOING TO GIVE
THEM TO THE CHURCH.
YOU WERE CATHOLIC?
YUP.
YUP.
MY FATHER -- HE WAS GOING TO
SHOW MY DAD, GIVE THEM TO MY
DAD'S BOSS, AND POST THEM
ALL AROUND SCHOOL.
Pat: YOU DIDN'T KNOW
ANY BETTER, BUT YOU COULD
HAVE BLOWN THE WHISTLE ON
HIM AND HE WOULD HAVE BEEN
LOCKED UP, AND YOU WOULD
HAVE HAD A CLEAR CASE.
BUT YOU DIDN'T KNOW ANY OF
THAT.
IN THOSE DAYS, YOU DON'T
THINK THAT KIND OF THING IS
GOING TO HAPPEN TO YOUR KIDS
WHEN YOU LIVE IN A REALLY
NICE AREA.
Pat: IT WAS
BIRMINGHAM --
BIRMINGHAM, MICHIGAN.
Pat: THAT'S HIGH
CLASS.
VERY HIGH CLASS.
Pat: AND YOUR FATHER IS
A VERY SUCCESSFUL
BUSINESSMAN?
YES.
Pat: SO YOU WEREN'T IN
SOME SLUM BACKGROUND?
NOT AT ALL.
Pat: YOU DIDN'T HAVE A
GOOD ENOUGH RELATIONSHIP TO
TALK WITH YOUR DAD OR MOM?
I WAS ASHAMED.
I DISOBEYED THEM.
AND I WASN'T SUPPOSED TO
DATE YET.
I THOUGHT THEY WOULD SEE ME
DIFFERENDIFFERENTLY.
I DIDN'T WANT THEM TO KNOW.
IN MY FAMILY, WE REALLY
VALUED VER VIRGINITY UNTIL
WE GOT MARRIED.
Pat: BUT THESE FOLKS
WOULD TAKE YOUR CLOTHES OFF
AND TIED YOU TO A BED.
UH-HUH.
Pat: AND WHAT DID THEY
DO?
PROCEEDED TO GANG RAPE
ME.
AND PEOPLE PAID FOR THE
PRIVILEGE TO DO THAT.
Pat: HOW MANY?
IT WAS NEVER LESS THAN
TWO OR THREE A NIGHT, AND
SOMETIMES UP TO 20.
Pat: HOW DID YOU
SURVIVE?
JUST OUT OF THE GRACE OF
GOD.
Pat: BUT YOU DIDN'T GET
PREGNANT.
ISN'T THAT AMAZING?
I KNOW.
THERE IS A MEDICAL REASON
FOR THAT, WHICH I TALK ABOUT
IN MY BOOK.
DR. BERYLS TALKS ABOUT IT.
BUT I BELIEVE, REALLY, IT
WAS GOD'S DESIGN.
HE HAD A BIGGER PURPOSE.
MAYBE HE KNEW I COULDN'T
TAKE THAT.
Pat: HOW DID YOU STAND
IT?
20 PEOPLE?
HERE YOU ARE, TIED, HANDS
AND FOOT TO A BED, SPREAD
EAGLE, AND THESE GUYS ARE
RAPING YOU, AND THEN THEY
START SLAPPING YOU?
IT IS SOMETHING THAT
HAUNTS YOUR DREAMS.
Pat: WERE YOU BURNING
YOU WITH CIGARETTES OR
SOMETHING?
NOT THAT, BUT IT IS
DEFINITELY A VERY VIOLENT
LIFESTYLE, AND IT TAKES
YEARS TO HEAL FROM THAT.
Pat: THEY WERE USING
OBJECTS TO ASSAULT YOU?
UH-HUH.
IT IS VERY COMMON FOR THESE
GIRLS TO HAVE A LIFE LIKE
THAT, DAILY LIFE.
Pat: WHEN YOU WERE
GOING TO SCHOOL, YOUR GRADES
STARTED DROPPING OFF?
YEAH, THERE WERE A LOT OF
RED FLAGS.
Pat: YOU SAID THE
POLICE OFFICER TOOK YOU HOME
AFTER A VIOLENT RAPE, THE
COUNSELLOR, YOUR OWN MOTHER,
NONE OF THEM PICKED UP ON
IT.
THEY HAD NO IDEA.
AND WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT,
HOW WOULD THEY HAVE?
IT WAS 30 YEARS AGO.
AND I WASN'T TALKING.
I WAS TRYING TO PROTECT MY
FAMILY BECAUSE I THOUGHT
THEY WOULD BE KILLED.
THEY THREATENED MY LITTLE
BROTHERS.
THEY FOLLOWED US.
I THOUGHT ON ONE HAND,
TOMORROW IT WOULD BE ALL
OVER.
I CAN EARN THESE PICTURES
OVER AND IT WILL BE
FINISHED.
ON THE OTHER HAND, I WAS
TERRIFIED FOR MY FAMILY'S
LIFE.
Pat: YOU DON'T WANT TO
IDENTIFY THESE PEOPLE.
THEY'RE MIDDLE EASTERNERS
BECAUSE YOU'RE AFRAID THEY
MAY STILL COME AFTER YOU?
THEY STILL LIVE THERE,
AND THEY WERE NEVER
CONVICTED.
BUT IT COULD BE ANYBODY.
IT IS MEN OF EVERY AGE,
EVERY SOCIO-ECONOMIC
BACKGROUND AND EVERY RACE,
SO IT REALLY DOESN'T
MATTER.
Pat: WHAT HAPPENS IN
YOUR MIND.
DID YOU JUST SHUT OFF?
OH, YEAH.
YOU JUST KIND OF LEAVE YOUR
BODY.
EVEN YEARS LATER, IN
COLLEGE, WHEN I HAD GOTTEN
AWAY FROM IT, IT IS STILL
INSIDE YOU.
AND YOU NEED TO TALK ABOUT
IT, AND YOU NEED TO HEAL.
AND I DIDN'T KNOW THE LOVE
OF THE LORD AT THAT TIME.
SO IT WAS REALLY HARD TO
HEAL.
YOU JUST SHOVE IT INSIDE.
Pat: YOU HAVE THE
SOAP -- WHAT DOES THAT SOAP
SAY.
IT SAYS, ARE YOU BEING
FORCED TO DO ANYTHING YOU DO
NOT WANT TO DO.
HAVE YOU BEEN THREATENED IF
YOU TRY TO LEAVE.
HAVE YOU WITNESSED YOUNG
GIRLS BEING PROSTITUTED, AND
IF SO, CALL...
Pat: AND YOU'RE PASSING
THEM ALL OVER NEW ORLEANS?
YES.
HOPING THAT ONE GIRL WILL
SEE THIS IN THE BATHROOM AND
MAKE THE PHONE CALL.
Pat: THIS IS SO SCARY.
NOT ONLY ARE THEY BEATEN,
BUT THEY'RE THREATENED WITH
DEATH.
IT IS BRUTAL.
IT IS BRUTAL.
IT IS LIKE BEING IN A CULT.
THEY BELIEVE THESE GUYS LOVE
THEM, BUT THEY'RE MAKING
THEM DO THIS.
AND THEY DON'T KNOW ANY
OTHER WAY OUT OF IT.
Pat: AND THE THING THAT
STRUCK YOU, YOU DIDN'T EVEN
HAVE A NAME.
WHAT'S HER NAME?
IT DOESN'T MATTER.
SHE DOESN'T HAVE A NAME.
THAT WAS DEVASTATING TO
HEAR.
SHE DOESN'T HAVE A NAME.
SHE IS NOTHING.
Pat: IT IS TERRIBLE
THAT MEN WOULD TREAT HUMAN
BEINGS THIS WAY.
I KNOW.
IT IS REALLY SAD.
Pat: YOU'VE GONE ON AND
GOTTEN MARRIED.
DID YOU TELL YOUR HUSBAND
ALL OF THIS STUFF?
I TRIED TO, BUT A LOT OF
TIMES WHAT WOMEN WILL DO IF
YOU'RE NOT HEALED YET, GET
INTO NOT SO HEALTHY
RELATIONSHIPSMENT AND HE
DIDN'T WANT TO HEAR MY
STORY.
DIDN'T WANT TO THINK OF ME
DIFFERENTLY, SO, AGAIN, FOR
10 YEARS, IT WAS A VERY
DIFFICULT TIME.
AND AFTER THAT IS WHEN I
CHANGED MY LIFE AND DECIDED
I WAS A DAUGHTER OF GOD.
AND I DESERVED A LOT MORE
THAN THAT.
Pat: THIS BOOK IS A
CATHARSIS?
IT IS.
Pat: WHAT DO WE DO TO
STOP THIS?
I'VE HEARD IN MALLS, GIRLS
GETTING INJECTED WITH
HYPODERMICS, AND CARRIED
OFF.
IT HAPPENS ALL AROUND THE
COUNTRY.
I SPEAK TO HIGH SCHOOLS,
COLLEGES, CHURCHES, AND I
HAVE AT LEAST TWO GIRLS COME
UP TO ME AFTER EVERY TALK
AND SAY THANK YOU.
THEY LOOK ME IN THE EYE, AND
I KNOW IT HAPPENED TO THEM,
TOO.
OR THEY'LL SAY, MY STORY IS
JUST LIKE YOURS.
SO IT IS HAPPENING
EVERYWHERE.
Pat: MY STORY IS JUST
LIKE YOURS?
I'M NOT A VIOLENT PERSON,
BUT THERE IS ONE GROUP OF
PEOPLE THAT I WOULD LIKE TO
SEE AN INSTANT DEATH, AND
THAT IS THESE SEX DRIVERS.
IT IS HORRIBLE.
I HAVE A LOT OF MEN WHO
COME UP TO ME AND SAY, I CAN
TAKE CARE OF THAT FOR YOU.
AND I SAY, WE NEED TO LET
THE LORD TAKE CARE OF THAT
ONE.
Pat: TERESA, GOD BLESS
YOU.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS.
YOU'RE WELCOME.
Pat: FOR SHARING THE
DEEP SECRETS OF THE THINGS
THAT HAVE BEEN DONE TO YOU.
THE AMAZING THING IS, YOU
SEEM TO HAVE COME OUT ON THE
OTHER SIDE.
THAT'S THE GRACE OF GOD.
IT IS THE GRACE OF GOD.
AND TO HAVE SOMETHING TO
HELP OTHERS GET OUT OF IT
HAS BEEN SO HEALING, TOO.
I FUND THIS OUT OF MY POCKET
AND DO DONATIONS OF PEOPLE.
IT HAS JUST BEEN A MIRACLE.
Pat: WELL, SHE SHARES
MORE OF THE STORY.
THE BOOK IS CALLED "THE
SLAVE ACROSS THE STREET."
AND YOU CAN FIND OUT ABOUT
SOAP MINISTRY ON OUR WEBSITE
AT CBN.COM.
OUR THANKS TO TERESA
FLORENCE.
GOD BLESS YOU.
THANK YOU.
Kristi: THANK YOU,
PAT.
AS BAD A PROBLEM AS HUMAN
TRAFFICKING IS IN AMERICA,
CHECK THIS OUT: IT IS EVEN
WORSE OVERSEAS.
IT IS THE FASTEST GROWING
ENTERPRISE EN THE WORLD.
LATER, WE'LL SHOW YOU A
UNIQUE WAY ONE PERSON IS
HELPING VICTIMS OF SEX
TRAFFICKING.
SO WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T GO
AWAY.
Lee: WELCOME BACK TO
"THE 700 CLUB."
THE NEWS THAT THE BOY SCOUTS
OF AMERICA MAY LIFT ITS BAN
ON HOMOSEXUAL MEMBERS IS NOT
SITTING WELL WITH MANY
RELIGIOUS BOOKS.
FRED LUTER SAID, IF THAT IS
WHAT THE LEADERSHIP IS
DOING, I THINK IT WILL BE A
SAD DAY IN THE LIFE OF THE
BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA.
TO NOW SEE THIS ORGANIZATION
THAT I THOUGHT STOOD ON
BIBLICAL PRINCIPLES ABOUT TO
GIVE INTO THE POLITICALLY
CORRECT THING IS
DISAPPOINTING.
A DECISION ON THE BAN IS
EXPECTED BY THE BOY SCOUTS
AS EARLY AS NEXT WEEK.
AN ELITE IRANIAN MILITARY
GROUP AND A TERRORIST GROUP
ARE STEPPING UP THEIR
EFFORTS TO ATTACK WESTERN
TARGETS.
THE LEBANESE MILITANT GROUP
HEZBOLLAH AND THE KUDZ FORCE
ARE A GROWING THREAT.
THEY PLOTTED MORE THAN 20
TERROR ATTACKS TOGETHER
BETWEEN MAY OF 2011 AND JULY
OF 2012.
ONLY ONE OF THOSE ATTACKS
SUCCEED, BUT THE AUTHOR
CONCLUDES THE GROUPS ARE
LEARNING FROM THEIR MISTAKES
AND IMPROVING THEIR
EFFECTIVENESS.
YOU CAN ALWAYS GET THE
LATEST FROM CBN NEWS BY
GOING TO OUR WEBSITE AT
CBNNEWS.COM.
STAY TUNED, PAT AND KRISTI
WILL BE BACK WITH MORE OF
"THE 700 CLUB" AFTER THIS.
Kristi: WELCOME BACK TO
"THE 700 CLUB."
IN SOME PARTS OF THE WORLD,
FAMILIES HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO
SELL THEIR OWN DAUGHTERS TO
TRAFFICKERS, SIMPLY BECAUSE
THEY CAN'T AFFORD TO FEED
ANOTHER PERSON.
SADLY, THE VICTIMS OF SEXUAL
EXPLOITATION FIND THAT LIFE
IS STILL DIFFICULT, EVEN IF
THEY'RE LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE
RESCUED.
BUT IN ONE OF THE WORST
COUNTRIES FOR SEX
TRAFFICKING, ONE GROUP IS
HELPING.
AND IT IS GETTING A BIG
BOOST FROM A FASHION
DESIGNER LOCATED HALF WAY
AROUND THE WORLD.
Reporter: THE NEPAL
BORDER IS ONE THE BUSIEST
AREAS FOR SEX TRAFFICKING IN
THE WORLD.
WOMEN AND CHILDREN CAN BE
BOUGHT BY A TRAFFICKER FOR
AS LITTLE AS $19 U.S.
THEN THE TRAFFICKER CAN SELL
THE VICTIM FOR UP TO $560
U.S.
UNFORTUNATELY, THIS ILLEGAL
TRADE IS ONE OF THE FASTEST
GROWING INDUSTRIES AND MAKES
BILLIONS OF DOLLARS EVERY
YEAR.
A NEPALI NON-GOVERNMENT
ORGANIZATION, ALONG WITH
SEVERAL OTHER GROUPS, ARE
HELPING VICTIMS OF THESE
HEINOUS CRIMES WITH THE
NEPALI RESCUE PROJECT.
AFTER THESE WOMEN AND
CHILDREN ARE RESCUED, THEY
ARE PROVIDED COUNSELLING,
EDUCATION, AND JOBS SKILLS
TRAINING.
CLOTHING DESIGNER, KATIE
MARTINEZ, WITH HER COMPANY,
ELEGANT TEES, ARE AMONG
THOSE WHO JOINED FORCES WITH
A NEPALI RESCUE FORCE.
THEY GIVE THESE WOMEN SEWING
JOBS AND THE HOPE OF A
BETTER FUTURE.
Kristi: WELL, KATIE
MARTINEZ IS HERE WITH US
NOW.
KATIE, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
JOINING US ON "THE 700
CLUB."
THANK YOU.
Kristi: LET'S TALK
ABOUT THIS RESCUE, THE
NEPALI RESCUE PROJECT, AND
HOW YOU GOT INVOLVED WITH
IT?
IT DIDN'T HAPPEN RIGHT
AWAY WHEN I STARTED MY
COMPANY.
I'M A FASHION DESIGNER, AND
WHILE A STUDENT IN SCHOOL, I
WANTED TO HELP BECAUSE I
LEARNED ABOUT SEX
TRAFFICKING AND IT BROKE MY
HEART.
WHEN THE DOORS OPENED TO
START MY CLOTHING LINE, I
WAS, LIKE, I HAVE TO DO
SOMETHING.
SO I BASICALLY HAD THIS
MISSION TO FIGHT SEX
TRAFFICKING, AND STUDENTS AT
REGENT UNIVERSITY CONTACTED
ME BECAUSE THEY WERE FRIENDS
WITH THE NEPALI RESCUE
PROJECT, AND FROM THERE, IT
WAS PRETTY MUCH HISTORY.
Kristi: HELP US
UNDERSTAND THE TIE.
YOU ARE A FASHION DESIGNER,
HOW DOES IT ALL WORK
TOGETHER?
YOU DESIGN THE CLOTHING, AND
YET MANY OF THE YOUNG WOMEN
WHO HAVE BEEN RESCUED, THEY
HELP YOU TO MANUFACTURE THE
CLOTHES, IS THAT CORRECT?
YES.
Kristi: YOU PIT I PUT
IT IN YOUR OWN WORDS.
IN NEPAL, IT IS VERY
POOR.
FOR A WOMAN TO HAVE A JOB
THERE, IT IS VERY RARE.
IT BRINGS A LOT OF DIGNITY
TO THE FAMILY BECAUSE SHE IS
CONSIDERED A COMMODITY.
WHEN SHE CAN WORK, IT
CHANGES THINGS SO MUCH.
SHE HAS HER DIGNITY.
PARTICULARLY FOR THE WOMEN
RESCUED FROM TRAFFICKING, A
LOT OF THEM COME FROM BROKEN
HOMES, AND THEY DON'T HAVE
MUCH OF A CHANCE TO STAY OUT
OF IT.
A LOT OF THEM GET LURED BACK
IN.
SO WE ARE WORKING WITH THE
NEPALI RESCUE PROJECT TO
GIVE THEM SEWING JOBS.
AND MY CLOTHING LINE IS
PROVIDING THEM A WAY FOR
THEM TO ACTUALLY MAKE MONEY
DOING THAT.
Kristi: I LOVE THAT.
AND GIVING THEM A HOPE, AND
GIVING THEM A FUTURE, AND
GIVING THEM A PURPOSE.
I LOVE THAT.
LET'S TALK ABOUT YOUR
ELEGANT TEES.
I'M A FASHION DESIGNER
THAT BELIEVES IN MODESTY.
SO I CREATE TOPS THAT ARE
LONG.
THEY'RE EASY TO WEAR AS A
T-SHIRT, BUT THEY ARE
ELEGANT.
Kristi: A LITTLE BIT OF
SASS, AND A LITTLE BIT OF
FLAVOR.
YEAH.
YOU CAN DRESS THEM UP, DRESS
THEM DOWN, PUT A BELT WITH
THEM, TUCK THEM IN.
AND WEAR THEM WITH JEANS.
Kristi: WE'RE GOING TO
SEE A LOT OF OUR MODELS.
OUR REGENT UNIVERSITY HAS
PARTNERED WITH THIS
WONDERFUL ORGANIZATION AS
WELL.
SO LET'S JUST BRING OUT OUR
MODELS NOW.
LET'S ROCK IT.
AWESOME.
THIS IS THE FIRST DESIGN
THAT WE'RE GOING TO BRING
OUT.
IT IS CALLED THE GENESIS
STYLE BECAUSE THE FRONT IS
AN INTERPRETATION OF THE
BEGINNING OF TIME.
THE WEAVING JUST REMINDS ME
SO MUCH OF WHEN THE WORLD
WAS BORN.
Kristi: I LOVE THAT.
AND I LOVE THAT BEAUTIFUL
SEA GREEN.
THAT'S THE NEW COLOR,
RIGHT?
YES.
SPEARMINT.
Kristi: ANOTHER FORM OF
GREEN.
THIS TOP HAS A GORGEOUS
CROCHET EMBELLISHMENT.
AND IN SOME WAYS YOU CAN
WEAR IT RIGHT NOW IF YOU
JUST WANT TO THROW A JACKET
OVER IT.
Kristi: YOU KNOW WHAT
IS SO NEAT ABOUT THIS,
KATIE, THERE IS SUCH A LEVEL
OF MODESTY BUT CHICNESS AND
FASHION.
I MADE THIS FOR MY NIECE,
LEXI, WHO HAS A LOT OF
ATTITUDE.
BUT SHE IS SWEET, TOO.
THIS IS A OSAMA BIN
COMBINATION OF HER
ATTITUDE.
IT HAS A NECK LINE, AND THE
SIDE IS VERY SASSY.
THE NEXT DESIGN IS A FITTED
STYLE, BUT IT HAS SO MANY
STATEMENT DETAILS.
IT IS VERY SLENDERIZING.
I LOVE WEARING THIS IN THE
PURPLE DLOAR.
COLOR.
THE ROUSHING ON THE SIDE
BRINGS IN YOUR TORSO.
Kristi: I HAVE TO TELL
YOU, KATIE, THAT IS MY
FAVORITE.
NUMBER ONE, IT IS MY COLOR.
AND NUMBER TWO, IT IS SEXY.
THIS ONE IS A RELAXED
STYLE.
IT HAS THE ASYMMETRICAL AREA
ON THE SIDE.
VERY FEMININE, HIGHLIGHTED
ACCENTS.
VERY EASY TO WEAR AND WASH,
TOO.
Kristi: WONDERFUL.
LOOK AT THESE REGENT
UNIVERSITY STUDENTS.
THEY'RE ROCKING IT.
MY HUSBAND IS A CLASSICAL
SINGER, AND SO HE INS
INSPIRES ME A LOT.
OPERA WAS THE INSPIRATION
FOR THIS BLOUSE.
IT REMINDS ME OF THE
ROMANTIC ERA.
Kristi: I LIKE THE
BALLOON SLEEVES -- WHAT ARE
THEY CALLED?
PEASANT SLEEVES.
Kristi: I LIKE IT.
THIS IS SIMPLE, VERY
ELEGANT.
THE NECK LINE IS REALLY THE
DIGNIFIED PART OF THIS TOP.
AS YOU CAN SEE, THE MODEL IS
DRESSED UP FOR WORK, BUT SHE
COULD JUST TOTALLY GO OUT
FOR SOME DINNER WITH SOME
FRIENDS AFTERWARDS.
Kristi: IT IS LIKE YOU
KIND OF WANT TO TAKE THOSE
GLASSES OFF AND UNLEASH THAT
PONY TAIL, AND SHE IS
READY.
HERE WE GO.
GLAMOUR RIGHT HERE.
SHE IS WEARING A RED CARPET
TUNIC, AND I LOVE THAT.
IT IS JUST SO DRAPEY, AND
THE PRINT IS PHENOMENAL.
Kristi: THIS IS
WONDERFUL.
FANTASTIC.
OOH, HERE WE GO.
THE DRESS.
TALK ABOUT THE DRESS.
THIS IS THE HOPE DRESS.
IT IS THE VERY FIRST DESIGN
WE DID WITH THE NEPALI
RESCUE GIRLS.
THEY DID SUCH A WONDERFUL
JOB.
TO CELEBRATE THIS DRESS,
WE'RE GOING TO OFFER IT ON
OUR WEBSITE FOR JUST $30 FOR
AS LONG AS SUPPLIES LAST.
Kristi: SPEAKING OF
YOUR WEBSITE, IF WE WANTED
TO SUPPORT NOT JUST THIS
ORGANIZATION, BUT TO SUPPORT
THE FASHION LINE --
VISIT
ELEGANTTEASE.COM.
Kristi: AND THIS IS
WONDERFUL, NOT ONLY WOULD WE
BE SUPPORTING YOU, BUT THE
WONDERFUL YOUNG LADIES IN
NEPAL.
FANTASTIC.
KATIE, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
BEING HERE.
LADIES, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
GIVE US THE MISS AMERICA
WAVE.
FANTASTIC.
FANTASTIC REGENT UNIVERSITY
STUDENTS.
WE APPRECIATE YOU.
AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
CHECK OUT ELEGANT TEES FULL
LINE OF CLOTHING.
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS GO TO
OUR WEBSITE, CBN.COM.
AND ANOTHER THING WE NEED TO
PUT ON OUR PRAYER LIST TO
PRAY ABOUT.
COMING UP.
WE'RE GOING TO ANSWER YOUR
E-MAIL QUESTIONS.
SO WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T GO
AWAY.
Pat: WELCOME BACK.
IT IS TIME FOR "BRING IN
ON."
I KNOW PEOPLE HAVE BEEN
SENDING IN QUESTIONS OVER
THE E-MAIL, AND SO I'M GOING
TO SHARE THEM WITH YOU VERY
QUICKLY.
DOUGLAS LOGS IN AND
SAID, "DID JESUS PRE-EXIST
IN HEAVEN BEFORE HE WAS BORN
ON EARTH?
WHAT WAS HIS ROLE?"
Pat: ACCORDING TO THE
BIBLE, HE IS THE SECOND
PERSON OF THE TRINITY.
AND HE EXISTED FOREVER.
SO THE FATHER, THE SON AND
THE HOLY SPIRIT HAVE ALWAYS
BEEN THERE.
SO THE ONE WE KNOW AS JESUS
WAS THE SPIRIT BECOMING
FLESH, BUT HE EXISTED FROM
ALL ETERNITY.
THERE WAS NEVER A TIME THAT
HE WAS NOT.
THAT'S WHAT THE THEO
THEOLOGIANS SAY.
RUSSELL SAYS, "I HAVE HEARD
THERE ARE DIFFERENT LEVELS
OF HELL.
IS THIS TRUE?"
Pat: I DON'T KNOW
ANYTHING IN THE BIBLE THAT
INDICATES THERE ARE
DIFFERENT LEVELS OF HELL.
HELL IS HELL.
I'M SURE THERE ARE SOME WHO
CAN FIND SOMETHING AND SAY
YES.
BUT THE BASIC THING ABOUT
HELL IS THEY TALK ABOUT A
LAKE OF FIRE AND THEY TALK
ABOUT BURNING.
I THINK THE MAIN THING ABOUT
HELL IS THE OFF F AWFUL
REMORSE.
JESUS TALKED ABOUT WEEPING
AND GNASHING AND TEETH.
HOW MANY LEVELS ARE THERE?
YOU'RE OUT IN THE COLD,
ALONE FOREVER.
NANCY HAS SAID, "I HEARD
MANY PREACHERS TALK ABOUT
THE FIRST FRUITS.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?"
YOU LOOK AT THE FEAST THAT
THE JEWS HAD AND THE FEAST
OF FIRST FRUITS WAS REALLY
WHAT WE HAVE IN PENTECOST.
IT WAS THE FIRST FRUITS THAT
CAME FROM THE HARVEST
HARVEST.
AND THAT WAS 50 DAYS AFTER
THE PASSOVER.
SO THAT'S FIRST FRUITS.
IT'S THE FIRST OF THE
HARVEST SEASON.
AND YOU CAN SAY, WELL, THESE
ARE THE FIRST PEOPLE TO COME
TO THE LORD OF A PARTICULAR
AREA, OR SOMETHING.
YOU CAN USE THE TERM "FIRST
FRUITS" TO DESCRIBE
ANYTHING, THE FIRST IN TERMS
OF SOME KIND OF A HARVEST.
CONNIE SAYS, MATTHEW 25: 32-
46 EXPLAINS THE FIRST
NATIONS.
I'M UNDERSTANDING THAT THAT
MEANS EVERYONE.
"THE SON OF MAN WILL SIT ON
HIS THRONE JUDGING THE
NATIONS."
IT SAYS THAT.
AND THE SHEEP AND THE GOATS,
IN RELATION TO ISRAEL, IN
RELATION TO BELIEVERS, IN AS
MUCH AS YOU'VE DONE, THE
LEAST OF THESE, MY BROTHER,
YOU'VE DONE TO ME.
I WAS IN PRISON, AND YOU
CAME TO VISIT ME.
WHEN DID YOU DO THIS?
WELL, IF YOU DID IT TO THE
LEAST OF THESE, MY BROTHER,
THEN YOU DID IT TO ME.
SO IN A SENSE, THE NATIONS
ARE GOING TO BE JUDGED IN
RELATION TO HOW THEY TREAT
EITHER THE CHRISTIANS OR THE
JEWS, DEPENDING ON HOWEVER
YOU INTERPRET THAT.
BUT ALL OF THE NATIONS WILL
BE GATHERED TOGETHER AT THE
GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT,
AND GOD IS GOING TO JUDGE
EVERYBODY.
BUT THOSE WHO HAVE ACCEPTED
JESUS AS SAVIOR WILL NOT
COME INTO JUDGMENT, JESUS
SAID, BUT ARE PASSED FROM
DEATH INTO LIFE.
SO WHEN YOU COME TO THE
LORD, YOU DON'T GO INTO THE
FINAL JUDGMENT.
BUT THERE WILL BE THE
JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHRIST FOR
REWARDS FOR THOSE WHO
BELIEVE.
THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR
QUESTIONS.
THAT'S ALL OF THE TIME WE'VE
GOT FOR TODAY'S SHOW.
TOMORROW, PLAYERS FROM THE
RAVENS AND THE 49ers ARE
GETTING READY FOR THE SUPER
BOWL THIS SUNDAY.
THESE ARE THE WORDS FROM
JESUS FOUND IN JOHN 8: 12:
"I AM THE LIGHT OF THE
WORLD.
HE WHO FOLLOWS ME SHALL NOT
WALK IN DARKNESS, BUT SHALL
HAVE THE LIGHT OF LIFE."
GOD BLESS YOU.
SEE YOU TOMORROW.
BYE-BYE.
