YOU KNOW, THEY'RE TALKING
ABOUT NUCLEAR WAR.
NETANYAHU SAYS THEY'VE JUST
ABOUT REACHED HIS RED LINE.
BIDEN SAYS WE'RE NOT GOING
TO JUST CONTAIN THEM.
WE'RE GOING TO STOP THEM.
AND WHAT WOULD A NUCLEAR
EXPLOSION DO?
IF YOU THINK OF JERUSALEM,
IT WOULD DESTROY JERUSALEM.
IT WOULD DESTROY TEL AVIV.
IT COULD VERY WELL DESTROY
NEW YORK CITY OR LONDON.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HORRIBLE
CONSEQUENCES.
THE THREAT OF NUCLEAR WAR IN
THE HANDS OF SOME MAD MEN IS
JUST BEYOND COMPREHENSION,
AND YET THAT'S WHAT WE'RE
FACING.
AND THE PRESIDENT SAYS THE
UNITED STATES ISN'T
BLUFFING.
IT WILL USE MILITARY FORCE
TO STOP IRAN'S NUCLEAR
PROGRAM IF IT HAS TO.
Terry: BUT ISRAEL'S
PRIME MINISTER WARNS THAT
IRAN IS MOVING AHEAD AND
THAT TIME IS RUNNING SHORT
TO STOP IT FROM BUILDING
NUCLEAR WEAPONS.
EPHRAIM GRAHAM HAS THE
STORY.
Reporter: ONLY WEEKS
AHEAD OF PRESIDENT OBAMA'S
FIRST TRIP TO THE HOLY LAND,
THE WHITE HOUSE IS STRESSING
THE STRONG TIES BETWEEN THE
U.S. AND ISRAEL.F0
FROM THE MOMENT THEF0
PRESIDENT TOOK OFFICE, HE
HAS ACTED SWIFTLY ANDF8F0
DECISIVELY TO MAKE CLEAR TOF0
THE WHOLE WORLD AND TOF0F0
ISRAEL THAT EVEN ASF8
CIRCUMSTANCES HAVE CHANGED,F0
ONE THING HAS NOT: OUR DEEP
COMMITMENT TO THE SECURITY
OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL.
THAT HAS NOT CHANGED.
Reporter: BUT TENSION
IS RISING.
OVER IRAN'S NUCLEAR WEAPONS
PROGRAM.
SPEAKING TO AMERICA'S
LARGEST PROISRAEL LOBBY,
VICE PRESIDENT JO JOSEPH8h8h
BIDEN PLEDGED TO INTERVENE
WITH IRAN'S NUCLEAR8l8h
PROGRAM.
OUR STRONG PREFERENCE,
THE WORLD'S PREFERENCE, IS8h
FOR A DIPLOMATIC SOLUTION.8h8h
SO WHILE THAT WINDOW IS
CLOSING, WE BELIEVE THAT8h8h
THERE IS STILL TIME AND8h8h
SPACE TO ACHIEVE THE8h8h
OUTCOME.
GOD FORBID THE NEED TO ACT8h
OCCURS, IT IS8h CRITICALLY
IMPORTANT FOR THE WHOLE8h8h
WORLD TO KNOW WE DID8h8h
EVERYTHING IN OUR POWER, WE8h8h
DID EVERYTHING THAT
REASONABLY COULD HAVE BEEN
EXPECTED TO AVOID ANY
CONFRONTATION.
Reporter: SPEAKING TO
THE GROUP BY SATELLITE,
ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU PUSHED
BACK AGAINST U.S.
HESITATION.
DIPLOMACY HAS NOT
WORKED.
IRAN IGNORES ALL OF THESE
OFFERS.
IT IS RUNNING OUT THE
CLOCK.
IT IS STILL NOT CROSSED THE
RED LINE I DREW AT THE
UNITED NATIONS LAST
SEPTEMBER, BUT IRAN IS
GETTING CLOSER TO THAT RED
LINE.
Reporter: EPHRAIM
GRAHAM, CBN NEWS.
Pat: WELL, IF OBAMA HAD
DONE EVERYTHING HE COULD
HAVE DONE, HE WOULD HAVE
SUPPORTED THE PRO-DEMOCRACY
OF REVOLUTION THAT WAS
BEGINNING TO BUILD UP IN
THAT LAST ELECTION.
WHEN PEOPLE BY THE THOUSANDS
WERE TAKING TO THE STREETS,
AND HE DIDN'T OPEN HIS MOUTH
IN SUPPORT OF THEM.
TO SAY THAT HE HAS DONE
EVERYTHING HE COULD DO IS
NONSENSE.
WELL, BY THE WAY, YOU'VE
HEARD THAT MANTRA, I JUST
WANT TAXES THAT ARE FAIR.
I THINK THE RICH NEED TO PAY
THEIR FAIR SHARE.
WELL, GUESS WHAT?
A NEW STUDY SHOWS THAT
THEY'RE ALREADY PAYING
PLENTY.
LEE WEBB HAS THAT STORY FROM
THE CBN NEWS ROOM.
LEE?
Lee: HIGH INCOME
FAMILIES ARE PAYING SOME OF
THEIR BIGGEST TAX BILLS AT
THE FEDERAL LEVEL IN
DECADES, PAT.
EVEN WHILE THE REST OF THE
COUNTRY IS PAYING TAXES A
RECORD LOW RATES.
THE TAX POLICY CENTER
CONDUCTED A STUDY OF ALL
TAXES THAT FAMILIES HAVE TO
PAY.
THIS YEAR FAMILIES WITH
INCOMES IN THE TOP 20% WILL
PAY AN AVERAGE OF 27% IN
TAXES.
THE TOP ONE PERCENT WILL PAY
35.5%, AND THE AVERAGE
FAMILY IN THE BOTTOM 20%
WON'T PAY ANY FEDERAL
TAXES.
IN FACT, MANY WILL RECEIVE
PAYMENTS FROM THE
GOVERNMENT.
Pat: THAT'S ALL HE
KNOWS WHAT TO DO, THE MANTRA
OF CLASS WARFARE, LET'S
KNOCK DOWN THOSE OTHERS.
AND I BELIEVE IT WAS
PRESIDENT JEFFERSON WHO SAID
YOU'LL NOT ENHANCE THE
MATERIAL WELL-BEING OF THE
POOR BUYIN BY TAKING MONEY
AWAY FROM THE RICH.
IT IS TRUE, YOU WILL NOT
MAKE THEM ANY MORE
PROSPEROUS, BUT THAT'S WHAT
HIS CAMPAIGN IS.
AND THERE ARE ENOUGH FOOLS
IN THIS COUNTRY WHO BUY IT
AND LISTEN TO IT AND BELIEVE
IT.
BUT IT JUST ISN'T TRUE.
LEE?
Lee: CONSERVATIVES ARE
CRITICIZING PRESIDENT
OBAMA'S NOMINEE TO HEAD UP
THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
AGENT SEE.
GINA McCARTHY HAS
ADMINISTERED SOME OF THE
MOST CONTROVERSIAL RULES,
INCLUDING NEW REGULATIONS ON
NEW POWER PLANTS.
IF CONFIRMED, SHE WILL BE
PLACING MORE RULES IN THE
BOOKS.
CONSERVATIVES SAY THE E.P.A.
IS KILLING JOBS AND
UNDERMINING THE ENERGY
INDUSTRY.
AND IT'S SOMETHING YOU HAVE
BEEN SAYING FOR A LONG TIME,
PAT.
Pat: THEY'RE OUT OF
CONTROL.
THE E.P.A. IS ABSOLUTELY OUT
OF CONTROL.
IT IS EXTENDING WAY BEYOND
ANY MANDATE THAT CONGRESS
GAVE IT.
AND WHAT IT WANTS TO DO IS
KILL THE COAL INDUSTRY.
JUST KILL IT.
IT JUST WANTS TO DO AWAY
WITH IT.
AND THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT
CARBON TAXES AND WHATEVER IT
TAKES TO KILL COAL.
COAL IS THE BACKBONE OF OUR
POWER GRID.
IF WE STOP COAL-FIRED
PLANTS, THERE IS NOT ENOUGH
NATURAL GAS TO GO AROUND.
AND THERE CERTAINLY IS NOT
ENOUGH BIOMASS TO FEED THE
GREAT ELECTRIC GRID WE HAVE
IN THIS COUNTRY, BUT THAT'S
WHAT THEY WANT TO DO.
AND YOU LET THESE CRAZIES
GET IN CHARGE OF THINGS, AND
THEY'RE DOCTRINE THERE --
THEY AREN'T REASONABLE.
THEY'RE FANATICS.
THIS IS THEIR RELIGION.
THEIR RELIGION IS DESTROYING
ANYTHING THAT MATTER POLLUTE
THE ENVIRONMENT.
IT DOESN'T MATTER ABOUT THE
ECONOMIC WELL-BEING OF THE
COMMUNITY.
ALL WE CARE ABOUT IS
STOPPING PARTICULATE
EMISSIONS.
Lee: PAT, A LATE WINTER
STORM IS BARRELING THROUGH
THE HEARTLAND.
19 STATES, FROM MONTANA TO
VIRGINIA, ARE UNDER WINTER
WATCHES OR WARNINGS.
IN NORTH DAKOTA, PLOWS
CLEARED ROADS.
POOR VISIBILITY AND
HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS IN
COLORADO LED TO A
MULTI-PILEUP ON 7E.
70.
AND WASHINGTON, D.C. IS
BRACING FOR ITS BIGGEST
SNOWFALL IN TWO YEARS.
WE WHO TWO BIG BLIZZARDS
ALREADY.
IT HAS BEEN QUITE A BUSY
WINTER.
Lee: IT SURE HAS.
THE STORM WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH THE A APPALACHIAN
MOUNTAINS.
THE EPIC TV SERIES ABOUT THE
BIBLE IS DRAWING HUGE
RATINGS.
THE FIRST TWO-HOUR
INSTALLMENT PREMIERED ON
SUNDAY.
IT ATTRACTED 14.8 MILLION
VIEWERS.
FOUR MORE INSTALLMENTS OF
THE MINI SERIES WILL AIR
EACH SUNDAY NIGHT THIS
MONTH.
MARK BURNETT CO-PRODUCED
THIS SERIES WITH ROMA
DOWNEY, WHO WAS IN THE HIT
"TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL."
DID YOU WATCH THE FIRST
INSTALLMENT?
Pat: IT WAS BEAUTIFUL.
MARK BURNETT IS A GENIUS.
MY ONLY COMPLAINT WAS HE HAD
TOO MUCH KUNG FU FIGHTING.
THEY WOULDN'T BE WAIVING
THEIR HANDS, BUT JUST STRIKE
DONE THOSE IN SODOM.
Terry: HOPEFULLY IT
WILL ENCOURAGED TO READ THE
BIBLE.
I WAS DOING THAT AS I WAS
WATCHING.
LOOKING AT THE SEQUENCE THEY
WERE CHOOSING.
Pat: AND THE OTHER
PROBLEM IS YOU HAVE A
LIMITED SPACE.
YOU HAVE TO SHOW A CERTAIN
AMOUNT OF THINGS.
I THINK THE PRODUCER WAS
CONSTRAINED AS WELL AS TO
WHAT HE COULD SHOW.
HE HAD TO BE VERY
SELECTIVE.
AND HE CUT MAJOR CHUNKS OUT
AND PUT THEM TOGETHER.
BUT WHEN YOU'VE GOT RATINGS
LIKE THAT, WHO IS GOING TO
COMPLAIN.
HE IS AN ABSOLUTE TELEVISION
GENIUS, AND HIS WIFE IS A
VERY BEAUTIFUL, ATTRACTIVE
LADY, WHO APPARENTLY IS
DEEPLY COMMITTED TO HER
FAITH IN JESUS.
MY HATS OFF TO BOTH OF
THEM.
GOD BLESS THEM.
Lee: EXERCISING IN THE
EVENING MAY NO PREVENT YOU
FROM GETTING A GOOD NIGHT'S
SLEEP AFTER ALL.
BEFORE THEY SAID TO AVOID
EXERCISE AT NIGHT BECAUSE IT
COULD KEEP YOU AWAKE.
BUT THE STUDY SHOWS THAT
PEOPLE WHO EXERCISE IN THE
LAST FEW HOURS BEFORE
BEDTIME SLEEP JUST AS WELL
AS THOUGH WHO EXERCISE
EARLIER IN THE DAY.
ONLY 3% OF LATE-DAY
EXERCISERS SAID THAT SLEPT
WORSE.
PAT?
Pat: I'M NOT ONE OF
THOSE WHO IS OUT --
Terry: IN THE LAST FOUR
HOURS OF THE DAY.
Pat: NO WAY.
BUT I DO -- I'VE GOT THE
TOTAL GYM.
AND I HAVE A WEIGHT BENCH
AND ALL OF THAT STUFF.
AND IT IS JUST MARVELOUS.
THE TOTAL GYM IS A GREAT
INVENTION.
Terry: THERE ARE MANY
WONDERFUL MACHINES THAT ARE
PRETTY COMPACT THAT ALLOW
YOU TO WORK OUT EASILY IN
YOUR HOME TODAY.
THE GYM IS THE GATHERING
PLACE.
Pat: THE GATHERING
PLACE.
BUT YOU WASTE SO MUCH TIME.
AND YOU HAVE TO WEIGHT FOR
THE MACHINE YOU WANT TO
USE.
WHEREAS, YOU'VE GOT YOUR
TOTAL GYM, YOU CAN WHIP
THROUGH THAT BABY IN 10 OR
15 MINUTES.
DO YOU HAVE ONE?
Terry: I DO.
Pat: BLESS YOUR HEART,
AND YOU USE IT?
Terry: I DO.
Pat: GOOD!
A FEDERAL JUDGE IN VERMONT
HAS SENTENCED A MENNONITE
PASTOR TO 27 MONTHS IN
PRISON.
HE WAS CONVICTED LAST SUMMER
OF HELPING A WOMAN FLEE THE
COUNTRY, RATHER THAN SHARE
CUSTODY OF HER DAUGHTER WITH
HER FORMER LEAS LESBIAN
PARTNER.
LISA MILLER AND HER DAUGHTER
FLED OVERSEAS IN 2009.
SHE IS THE CHILD'S
BIOLOGICAL MOTHER.
MILLER BECAME A BORN AGAIN
CHRISTIAN AND TURNED AWAY
FROM HER HOMOSEXUAL LIFE.
MILLER AND HER DAUGHTER ARE
BELIEVED TO BE HIDING IN
NICARAGUA.
THE PASTOR AND MS. MILLER
ARE UNRELATED.
EIGHT FORMER DRUG
ENFORCEMENT ADMINISTRATION
CHIEFS ARE CALLING ON THE
WHITE HOUSE TO SUE COLORADO
AND WASHINGTON.
BOTH STATES HAVE LEGALIZED
RECREATIONAL MARIJUANA USE,
AND THE FORMER D.E.A.
LEADERS SAY THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT IS NOT MOVING
FAST ENOUGH TO REVERSE THE
MOVE.
MARIJUANA IS STILL ILLEGAL
UNDER FEDERAL LAW, AND ONE
OF THE D.E.A. LEADERS SAYS
NOT ACTING WILL CREATE A
DOMINO EFFECT IN WHICH OTHER
STATES FOLLOW LIA THEIR
LEAD.
