TONIGHT ON "NEWSWATCH," DEAD
ON ARRIVAL.
DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS SAY
PRESIDENT OBAMA'S SECRET PLAN
FOR IMMIGRATION REFORM FALLS
SHORT.
PLUS ENTERTAINMENT VERSES
EDUCATION.
HOW WATCHING BETTER TV CAN
PRODUCE BETTER CHILDREN.
FOR YEARS, MEDICAL INDUSTRY
HAS BEEN WARNING PATIENTS TO
KEEP CHOLESTEROL LEVELS LOW.
NOW SOME CARDIOLOGISTS SAY CLET
ROLL CHOLESTEROL IS GOOD FOR
YOU.
ALL OF THIS AND MORE TONIGHT ON
"NEWSWATCH." GOOD EVENING I AM
MARK MARTIN.
AND I AM HEATHER SELLS.
IF THE BATTLE OVER IMMIGRATION
REFORM WASN'T HOT ENOUGH, A
LEAKED RESPONSE.
THE PRESIDENT IS USING
POLITICAL -- CAUSED BY ILLEGAL
IMMIGRATION.
JOHN WAAGE HAS MORE ON TONIGHT'S
TOP STORY.
REPORTER: THE PLAN WOULD
CREATE A VISA FOR THOSE IN THE
COUNTRY ILLEGAL AND BECOME LEGAL
RESIDENTS IN EIGHT YEARS.
AND CALLS FOR BUSINESS OWNERS TO
CHECK IMMIGRATION STATUS OF NEW
HIRES WITHIN FOUR YEARS.
WHITE HOUSE CLAIMS TAS BACKUP
PLAN IN CASE CONGRESS DOESN'T
ACT ON THE ISSUE.
IT MAYBE A HIGHER PRIORITY FOR
THE PRESIDENT THAN SOLVING THE
PROBLEM.
LEAKS DON'T HAPPEN ON
ACCIDENT.
THIS RAISES THE QUESTION WE
CONTINUE TO WATCH.
DOES THE PRESIDENT WANT A
RESULT?
OR BEAT UP REPUBLICANS SO HE CAN
GET POLITICAL ADVANTAGE IN THE
NEXT ELECTION.
I HOPE THAT REPUBLICANS AND
DEMOCRATS UP THERE DON'T GET
INVOLVED IN A TYPICAL WASHINGTON
BACK AND FORTH SIDE SHOW HERE
AND RATHER ROLL UP THEIR SLEEVES
AND GET TO WORK.
CUBAN SENATOR, MARCO RUBIO
SAYS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HIS
PLAN AND PRESIDENT'S IS
EXTENDING GREEN CARD STATUS
SHOULD BE AFTER THEY MAKE A WAY
TO SECURE BORDERS.
ONLY WAY WE WILL DO THIS IF
WE SECURE PEOPLE'S CONFIDENCE TO
SECURE THE BORDER.
THE WHITE HOUSE SAYS THEY DON'T
WANT PRE-CONDITIONS TO THE PATH
OF A GREEN CARD.
BOTH REPUBLICANS AND
DEMOCRATS PREDICT THE LEAKED
PLAN WOULD FAIL.
JOHN WAAGE, CBN NEWS.
SENATOR MARCO RUBIO HAS
TURNED INFAMOUS SIP OF WATER
INTO A SUCCESSFUL FUNDRAISING
CAMPAIGN.
RECLAIM AMERICA RUBIO'S
POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE HAS
RAISED MORE THAN $100,000 BY
SELLING 3400 WATER BOTTLES SINCE
WEDNESDAY.
COME WITH RUBIO'S NAME AND
MINIMUM CONTRIBUTION OF $25.
SEND LIBERALS A MESSAGE NOT ONLY
DOES MARCO RUBIO INSPIRE YOU, HE
HYDRATES YOU, TOO.
DOCTOR THAT MADE THE KEYNOTE
SPEECH AT THE NATIONAL PRAYER
BREAKFAST, DR. BEN CARSON SPOKE
ABOUT TAXES AND HEALTH CARE.
HIS SPEECH HAS GOTTEN TWO
MILLION VIEWS AND CATAPULTED
BOOK "AMERICA THE BEAUTY" TO NO.
3 ON AMAZON.
CARSON SAID THERE IS ANOTHER
REASON FOR THE STRONG REACTION.
I MAY COVER THE FACT I PRAYED
FOR GOD TO GIVE ME WISDOM.
WHAT WOULD RESONATE, WHAT WOULD
BE IMPORTANT?
I DON'T THINK IT WAS
PARTICULARLY POLITICAL.
WHEN ASKED ON HIS OPINION OF
PRESIDENT OBAMA.
DR. CARSON SAID HE IS A GOOD
POLITICIAN.
AS FAR AS GETTING INTO POLITICS
IS CONCERNED, I LEAVE THAT UP TO
GOD.
GAS PRICES KEEP RISING.
AVERAGE PRICE WENT UP $.12 TO 36
$.
$.3
$3.
$3.67.
IT COULD MEAN MORE IN THE
SPRING.
PRICES GO UP $.40-$.60 IN THE
SPRING.
THEY COULD HIT $4 IN MAY.
DANGEROUS NEW STORM CAUSING
PROBLEMS FROM ROCKIES TO
DAKOTAS.
HEAVY SNOW AND POWERFUL WINDS
CAUSING WHITE OUT CONDITIONS
SUNDAY.
THIS NEW BLAST COMES AFTER MANY
ARE RECOVERING FROM THE MONSTER
BLIZZARD THAT BURIED SOME UNDER
THREE FOOT OF SNOW.
SCIENTISTS ARE SCRATCHING
THEIR HEADS OVER THE COSMIC COIN
COINCIDENCE.
THE METEOR THAT EXPLODED OVER
RUSSIA WAS THE -- IT MISSED
EARTH BY ONLY 17,000 MILES.
NASA SAYS THERE WAS NO
CONNECTION BETWEEN THE TWO.
EXPERTS SAY THIS COULD BE A
COSMIC WARNING SHOT AND REMINDER
TO CONTINUE TO INVEST IN SPACE
SCIENCE.
20 YEARS AGO IF DEA 13 FLEW
BY, WE WOULD HAVE NEVER KNOWN
IT.
ONE FORMER NASA ASTRONAUT IS
DEVELOPING A PLAN TO DETECT AS
ASTEROI
ASTEROIDS.
IT COULD GIVE EARTH DECADES OF
ADVANCED WARNING.
WITH 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 YEARS
OF NOTICE, IT IS STRAIGHTFORWARD
TO DEFLECT AN ASTEROID.
HIS PROJECT WILL COST 450
MILLION DOLLARS AND HOPING TO
RAISE THE MONEY THROUGH PUBLIC
DONATIONS.
IT IS THE SMALL PRICE YOU PAY
WHEN YOU THINK OF THE
ALTERNATIVE.
OFFICIALS ESTIMATE IT WILL COST
OVER 33 MILLION DOLLARS TO
REPAIR DAMAGE FROM THE RUSSIAN
METEOR.
HOW COULD WE LET PARTS OF OUR
CIVILIZATION GO AWAY,
BEDESTROYED IF WE COULD HAVE
DONE SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
BACK IN 2010, NATIONAL
RESEARCH COUNCIL CALLED FOR
CONGRESS TO FIND ASTEROIDS
BIGGER THAN A FOOTBALL FIELD.
ISLAMIC EXTREMIST GROUP IS
TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR
KIDNAPPING SEVEN FOREIGNERS IN
NIGERIA.
RAIDERS USED EXPLOSIVES TO FORCE
THEIR WAY INTO A HOUSING
COMPOUND OF A LEBANESE
CONSTRUCTION FIRM.
THE KIDNAPPING WAS QUOTE, BASED
ON TRANSGRESSION AND ATROCITIES
BY THE EUROPEAN COUNTRIES IN
AFGHANISTAN AND MALI.
MINISTRY WORLD COMPASSION IS
ISSUING AN URGENT CALL TO PRAYER
FOR THE RELEASE OF IRAQI PASTOR.
THE GOVERNMENT ARRESTED A MAN
PASTOR JAMAL NOW SUFFERING
SERIOUS MEDICAL PROBLEMS.
HE PERSONALLY WORKED WITH PASTOR
JAMAL DELIVERING FOOD TO
REFUGEES IN NORTHERN IRAQ U.?
T.L. OZBORN PASSED AWAY ON
THURSDAY.
HE SUFFERED NO SICKNESS OR PAIN.
THE LORD SIMPLY TOOK HIS BREATH
AWAY.
HE STARTED OSBORN MINISTRIEMINISTRIES.
HE LIVED BY THE MOTTO ONE WAY
JESUS, ONE JOB, EVANGELISM.
THREE OF HIS CHILDREN DIED
PREMATURELY AND WIFE DAISY DIED
IN HIS ARMS.
HE TALKED ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE
ON "THE 700 CLUB."
DISCOURAGEMENT AND EVEN WELL,
DEPRESSION.
OPPRESSION.
IT IS A MATTER OF THE THOUGHTS
THAT WE CHOOSE TO RETAIN.
IF WE THINK DEPRESSING THOUGHTS
WILL BE DEPRESSED.
I HAD TO CHANGE MY WAY OF
THINKING.
INSTEAD OF LAMENTING DAISY'S
DEATH AND BEING GONE FROM ME, I
SAID TO MYSELF, WAIT, THIS ISN'T
HELPING ME.
IT WON'T HELP ANYBODY ELSE.
SO I CHANGED MY THOUGHTS AND
REMEMBER -- I DREW FROM MY
MEMORY BANK AND REMEMBERED WHEN
SHE WAS WITH ME.
I COMFORT MYSELF, GOD COMFORTS
ME.
BUT YOU HAVE TO TAKE CONTROL.
HE WAS 89 YEARS OLD.
YOU CAN SEE COMPLETE INTERVIEWS
FROM T.L. OSBORN BY GOING TO

COMING UP BY THE TV PROGRAMS
HARMING YOUR CHILD'S
DEVELOPMENT, WE'LL TELL YOU HOW
SWITCHING SHOWS CAN MAKE A
DIFFERENCE.
U.S. JUSTICE DEPARTMENT SAYS
HOME SCHOOLING IS NOT A
FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT.
THAT IS THE ARGUMENT THEY MADE
IN FEDERAL COURT AGAINST AN
EVANGELICAL CHRISTIAN FAMILY
FROM GERMANY SEEKING ASYLUM IN
THE U.S. THEY WERE FORCED TO
FLEE GERMANY.
U.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL ERIC
HOLDER IS SAYING ASYLUM SHOULD
NOT BE GRANT D TO HOME
SCHOOLERS.
HOME SCHOOL LEGAL DEFENSE
ASSOCIATION IS REPRESENTING THE
ROMEIKE FAMILY.
WE ARE TROUBLED BY THE
ARGUMENTS MADE BY THE
GOVERNMENT.
IT IS OKAY FOR A COUNTRY, EVEN A
DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY TO BAN ALL
HOME EDUCATION.
THERE IS NO PROBLEM BECAUSE IT
IS EQUALLY APPLIED.
WE TAKE ISSUE.
IT IS TROUBLING FOR OUR
GOVERNMENT TO SAY THAT.
IT IS TROUBLING.
MICHAEL DONNELLY POINTS OUT
THERE IS A MOVE TO UNDERMINE
PARENTAL RIGHTS IN CONNECTICUT
AND THE U.S. YOU CAN FIND THE
REST OF THE INTERVIEW AT
CBNNEWS.COM.
PASSENGER CHARGED WITH
SLAPPING A TODDLER DURING A
DELTA FLIGHT IS WITHOUT A JOB.
63-YEAR-OLD JOE HUNLY HIT A 19
YEAR OLD.
THE BOY WAS SITTING WITH HIS
MOTHER.
HE MADE A RACIAL SLUR BEFORE
SLAPPING THE CHILD.
IN A STATEMENT FROM HIS COMPANY,
HE IS NO LONGER WITH THE
COMPANY.
BETTER TV RELATES TO BETTER
BEHAVIOR.
CHANGING FROM VIOLENT TO
EDUCATIONAL TV CAN IMPROVE
BEHAVIOR OF PRESCHOOLERS.
SEATTLE INSTITUTE, LEAD AUTHOR
DR. DIMITRI CHRISTAKIS SAYS IT
PROVES WHAT CHILDREN WATCH IS AS
IMPORTANT AS HOW MUCH THEY
WATCH.
JOINING US TO TALK ABOUT THIS
IS DR. LINDA MINTLE ISN'T IT
COMMON SENSE?
YOU WOULD THINK SO, THINK
ABOUT THE NATIONAL CONVERSATION
GOING ON IN THE PASSED FEW WEEKS
IN TERMS OF VIOLENCE AND KIDS,
WE DON'T HEAR ABOUT MEDIA AND
THE ROLE THEY PLAY.
THE STUDY WAS IMPORTANT BECAUSE
IT HAD A DIRECT IMPACT
ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU REMOVED THE
VIOLENCE AND SAW SUCH A CHANGE
IN THE BEHAVIOR OF THE KIDS IN
TERMS OF EMPATHY, RESPECT FOR
OTHER KIDS, SHARING THAT THEY
ENGAGED IN.
A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE
PARENTS FIND THEMSELVES FALLING
INTO THE TRAP OF USING THE TV AS
A BABY SISTER, HOW DO YOU ADVISE
PARENTS?
NO. 1, GET THE TV OUT OF THE
BEDROOM.
THEY DO NOT MAKE GOOD DECISIONS
AND DON'T UNDERSTAND AT A VERY
YOUNG AGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
FANTASY AND REALITITY WHENNER
LOOKING AT VIOLENCE.
NO SHORT CUT, YOU KNOW THIS,
HEATHER, NO SHORT CUT IN TERMS
OF MONITORING WHAT THEY ARE
WATCHING, LOOKING AT THE
PROGRAMS.
HAVING CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THE
WAY PEOPLE SOLVE PROBLEMS.
ONE OF THE THINGS IS IT IS
TEACHING KIDS TO RESOLVE
CONFLICT WITH VIOLENCE BECAUSE
OF TELEVISION.
YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT WHAT THEY
ARE WATCHING IN TERMS OF
CONTENT.
SHOWS LIKE VEGGIE TALES THAT ARE
NOT VIOLENT, I THINK THERE IS A
STUDY THAT SHOWS 20-25 ACTS OF
VIOLENCE ARE SEEN ON SATURDAY
MORNING HOURS.
WOULD YOU AGREE PARENTS
SHOULD FOCUS ON THE CONTENT OR
HOURS?
HOW SHOULD THEY VIEW THE WHOLE
SITUATION?
BOTH ARE IMPORTANT.
AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS
RECOMMEND CHILDREN SEE LESS THAN
TWO HOURS A DAY OF ALL SCREENS.
NOT JUST TELEVISION.
WE KNOW KIDS WITH GOOD AT OTHER
DEVICES.
BECAUSE THERE ARE OTHER FALLOUTS
FROM THE AMOUNT OF TIME LIKE
CHILDHOOD OBESITY IS A DIRECT
RESULT OF KIDS SITTING.
TV SCREEN DON'T TEACH
IMAGINATION AND LEADERSHIP
SKILLS.
PAY ATTENTION TO THE CONTENT.
THIS STUDY SAYS IT IS IMPORTANT.
GET YOUR KIDS OUTSIDE AND INTO
OTHER ACTIVITIEACTIVITIES.
ALL RIGHT, THANKS FOR YOUR
TIME.
UP NEXT, CHECK YOUR MEDICINE
CABINET, ONE COMMONLY USED DRUG
MAYBE SPEEDING UP THE RATE OF
ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE.
WE'LL TELL YOU WHAT IT IS.
HEART DISEASE IS AMERICA'S
NO. 1 KILLER, WHAT CAUSES IT?
FIRST DOCTORS CLAIMED
CHOLESTEROL.
THEN WE HEARD ONLY BAD
CHOLESTEROL WAS THE PROBLEM.
NOW THEY ARE CHANGING IT
AGAIN.
LORIE JOHNSON HAS MORE IN
TONIGHT'S FOCUS REPORT.
IN THE FIGHT FOR BETTER
HEALTH, AMERICANS VIEW
CHOLESTEROL AS PUBLIC ENEMY NO.
1.
DOCTORS TELL US TO STAY AWAY
FROM FOOD HIGH IN SATURATED FAT
LIKE BUTTER, EGGS, AND MEAT
BECAUSE IT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR
HEART DISEASE.
WHAT IF THAT IS WRONG?
CHOLESTEROL WAS FOUND AT THE
SCENE OF THE CRIME.
IT IS NOT THE PERPETRATOR.
THIS CARDIOLOGIST BELIEVE
CHOLESTEROL DOES NOT CAUSE HARD
DISEASE.
THEY POINT THE FINGER AT
INFLAMMATION CAUSED BY EATING
TOO MUCH SUGAR.
A SMALL FRACTION OF CHOLESTEROL
IS BAD BECAUSE IT IS
INFLAMMATORY.
FOR THE MOST PART IT IS GOOD FOR
YOU.
CHOLESTEROL MANY TIMES CAN BE
A GIFT IN DISGUISE.
IN HIS NEW BOOK "THE GREAT
CHOLESTEROL MYTH."
MOST HAVE HIGH CHOLESTEROL, THAT
MEANS THE OTHER HALF HAVE LOW
CHOLESTEROL.
I WOULD DO ANGIE OWE GRAM ON
SOMEONE WITH 280.
THEY PRESCRIBE CHOLESTEROL
LOWERING STATTEN DRUGS TO THEIR
PATIENTS WITH IT.
SINATRA SAID ONLY A SMALL
PERCENTAGE NEED THE DRUG.
HE PRESCRIBES STATTENS TO MIDDLE
AGED MEN LIKE ALBERT TAZ.
SINATRA SAYS A SMALL PERCENTAGE
OF WOMEN CAN BENEFIT FROM
STATTENS AS ANTIINFLAMMATORY,
NOT TO LOWER CHOLESTEROL.
THE RISKS OUTWEIGH THE GAINS.
SIDE EFFECTS OF STATTENS
GROSSLY UNDERREPORTED.
MUSCLE FATIGUE AND PAIN ARE
TWO COMPLAINTS.
DOCTOR, I CAN'T GET OUT OF A
CHAIR, I CAN'T WALK THE DOG.
THESE ARE STATTEN SIDE EFFECTS.
HOWEVER A LOT OF THE DOCTORS
THINK THEY ARE GETTING OLDER.
THESE ARE STATTEN SIDE EFFECTS.
PATIENTS OVER 70 ESPECIALLY
VULNERABLE.
THEY CAN'T REMEMBER NAMES OR
WHERE THEIR GLASSES AND KEYS
ARE.
THEY FORGET WHO THEY ARE.
IT CAN BRING ON THE ON SET OF
ALZHEIMER'S BY 15 YEARS.
YOU HAVE TO BE CAUTIOUS WITH
STATINS.
ONE THING IS CERTAIN,
REDUCING INFLAMMATION IS GOOD
FOR YOUR HEART NO MATTER WHO YOU
ARE.
BEST WAY TO DO THAT IS CUT
BACK ON SUGAR.
CHOLESTEROL IS YOUR FRIEND.
SUGAR IS YOUR FOE.
IT IS THE ENEMY.
SUGAR DAMAGES ARTERIES,
INCREASES BLOOD PRESSURE AND
AGES YOUR ORGANS.
WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT SODA
AND CANDY BUT FOOD THAT TURNS
INTO SUGAR AS SOON AS YOU EAT
IT, REFINED CARBOHYDRATES LIKE
WHITE BREAD, PASTA AND RICE.
68-YEAR-OLD JOAN JACKSON IS
LIVING PROOF THAT A LOW SUGAR
DIET IMPROVED YOUR HEART.
AT ONE POINT SHE NEEDED A HEART
TRANSPLANT.
SHE WAS TAKEN OFF THE TRANSPLANT
LIST AFTER CHANGING HER DIET.
I FEEL GREAT.
I AM NOT SAYING I AM 16.
I FEEL LIKE I CAN DO ANYTHING I
WANT TO.
HER SECRET, GOOD OLD
FASHIONED SELF-CONTROL.
WE HAVE A TENDENCY OF SAYING
I WANT THAT LAST PIECE OF PIE.
I AM GOING TO HAVE THIS PIECE OF
CANDY.
SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO SAY NO.
DR. SINATRA DESCRIBES
HEALTHIEST PATIENTS AS THOSE WHO
AVOID SUGAR AND REFINED
CARBOHYDRATES AND FILL UP ON
FATS.
HE HIGHLY RECOMMENDS UNSATURATED
FATS LIKE NUTS, AVOCADOS, FISH
AND OLIVE OIL.
HE EVEN TOUTS SATURATED FATS
LIKE UNPROCESSED MEAT AND
COCONUT OIL.
COCONUT OIL IS A SATURATED
FAT.
IT PROTECTS YOU.
BUT STAY AWAY FROM TRANSFAT
WHICH IS MAN MADE AND ADDED TO
MOST PACKAGED FOODS.
I CALL TRANS FATS UNGUIDED
MISSILES.
PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE
INGREDIENTS IN YOUR FOOD.
WORD HYDROGENATED IS YOUR RED
FLAG BECAUSE THAT MEANS
TRANSFAT.
WHILE DOCTORS MAY DISAGREE
WHETHER CHOLESTEROL CAUSES
HEARTED DISEASE, ONE THING IS
CERTAIN, IF YOU GO EASY ON SUGAR
AND TRANS FATS, YOU ARE HEADED
IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
LORIE JOHNSON, CBN NEWS.
UP NEXT, AN EXTREME HOME
BLESSING.
