TONIGHT ON "NEWSWATCH"
PUSHING FOR PEACE IN THE MIDDLE
EAST.
WHY THE PRESIDENT SAYS HE HAS
NOT GIVEN UP ON TALKS BETWEEN
ISRAELIS AND PALESTINIANS.
PLUS THE SUPREME COURT IS SET TO
HEAR CASES ON GAY MARRIAGE AND
WHAT IT MEANS FOR AMERICAN
CULTURE.
THE POPULAR GAME SHOW, THE
AMERICAN BIBLE CHALLENGE IS
BACK.
HOST AND COMEDIAN JEFF
FOXWORTHY.
ALL OF THIS AND MORE TONIGHT ON
"NEWSWATCH." GOOD EVENING I AM
MARK MARTIN.
PALESTINIAN TERRORIST LAUNCHED
ROCKET ATTACKS INTO SOUTHERN
ISRAEL TODAY BEFORE THE MEETING
WITH PALASTINIAN LEADERS AND
PRESIDENT OBAMA.
HE SPENT MUCH OF THE DAY WITH
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU
REPORTER: PRESIDENT OBAMA
STARTED AT THE ANCIENT MUSEUM
LOOKING AT THE ANCIENT DEAD SEA
SCROLLS.
ONE COMMENTATOR REMARKED IF THIS
IS THE WAY TO GREET OBAMA, WHAT
IS LEFT FOR THE MESSIAH?
ANY PREVIOUS ANIMOSITY APPEARED
TO BE GONE.
I THINK THEY ARE HAPPY
PRESIDENT OBAMA IS GETTING OFF
TO A NEW SECT START WITH PRIME
MINISTER NETANYAHU.
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT AND A MORE
REALISTIC APPRAISAL OF THE
MIDDLE EAST
REPORTER: CIVIL WAR IN SYRIA,
NO NEGOTIATIONS AND THE THREAT
OF A NEW CLEAR IRAN.
PRESIDENT OBAMA: ALL OPTIONS
ARE ON THE TABLE.
WE'LL DO WHAT IS NECESSARY TO
PREVENT IRAN FROM GETTING THE
NUCLEAR WEAPONS.
ISRAEL REMAINS FULLY L
COMMITTED TO PEACE AND SOLUTIONS
FOR TWO STATES FOR TWO PEOPLES.
WE EXTEND OUR HANDS OF PEACE TO
THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE
REPORTER: OBAMA ADDRESSED A
PACKED AUDITORIUM WITH HUNDREDS
OF COLLEGE STUDENTS.
PRESIDENT OBAMA: MAKE NO
MISTAKE, THOSE THAT REJECT
ISRAEL'S RIGHT TO EXIST, THEY
ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE.
REPORTER: HE SAID PEACE
BETWEEN ISRAEL AND PALESTINIANS
IS NECESSARY AND POSSIBLE.
THERE IS NO SECRET WHERE THAT
WILL LEAD.
PRESIDENT OBAMA: TWO STATES
FOR TWO PEOPLES.
ONE THING THAT IS CLEAR, A
TWO-STATE SOLUTION IS IMPOSSIBLE
TO ACHIEVE.
IT IS NOT A SOLUTION.
IF IT WERE ACHIEVED IT WOULD BE
PRIME YOUTH FOR NEW RELIGION
REPORTER: IT IS THE YOUNG
PEOPLE NOT THE LEADERS THAT
DECIDE THE FUTURE.
PRESIDENT OBAMA: I CAN
PROMISE YOU THIS AS A
POLITICIAN, POLITICAL LEADERS
WILL NEVER TAKE RISKS IF THE
PEOPLE DO NOT PUSH THEM TO TAKE
RISKS.
YOU MUST BREAK THE CHAINS YOU
WANT TO SEE.
REPORTER: GROWING U.S.-ISRAEL
TIES ARE NOT GOOD FOR
PALESTINIANS.
PALASTINIAN LAUNCH ROCKETS JUST
BEFORE THE PRESIDENT'S TRIP TO
ROMALA.
HE REALIZES IN THE SEA OF
SAND OF THE MIDDLE EAST, ISRAEL
IS THE ONLY ANCHOR WESTERN
DEMOCRACY HAS.
A LOT OF MISTAKES, SYRIA, EGYPT,
JORDAN IS STABILIZING.
TURKEY IS IN WRATH.
THERE IS ONLY ONE PLACE HE CAN
RELY ON FOR PEACE, THAT IS
ISRAEL.
THAT IS A GOOD MOVE.
REPORTER: CHRIS MITCHELL, CAB
CAN BE NEWS, JERUSALEM.
THE FOUNDATION OF THE DEFENSE
OF DEMOCRACIES, HAS THE
PRESIDENT ADDRESSED THE THREAT
TO ISRAELI SUFFICIENTLY?
THEY ARE ALL IN THE RIGHT
DIRECTION.
THE PRESIDENT YOU HAVE IS ON THE
PART OF THE UNITED STATES WHEN
IT COMES TO BLOUNTING IRAN'S
AMBITIONS.
REAL PROBLEM BOTH ALLIES FACE IS
BEING ABLE TO DETECT THE MOMENT
WHEN IRAN STEPS FORWARD AND
CROSSES THE FINISH LINE BEFORE
IT IS TOO LATE.
AND HISTORY OF NUCLEAR
PROLIFERATION TEACHES US, EVEN
IN THE BEST OF CIRCUMSTANCES,
WHEN WESTERN NATIONS WERE
FAMILIAR WITH THEIR OPPONENTS,
WERE AWARE OF DEVELOPMENTS IN
NUCLEAR PROGRAMS, HAD GOOD
INTELLIGENCE, THEY WERE ALWAYS
SURPRISED WHETHER IT WAS THE
SOVIET UNION IN 1940S AND '50S
WITH ITS ADVANCE ON THE NUCLEAR
WEAPONS PROGRAM, CHINA,
PAKISTAN, INDIA, MORE RECENTLY
NORTH KOREA AND OF COURSE,
LIBYA, WHICH NEVER HAD NUCLEAR
WEAPONS BUT TRADED ITS PROGRAM
IN EXCHANGE FOR A SHORT LIVED
IMMUNITY FOR THE REGIME.
WE WERE SURPRISED BY HOW MUCH WE
DIDN'T KNOW WHEN THINGS
DEVELOPED.
CHALLENGE FOR BOTH UNITED STATES
AND ISRAEL, I SUSPECT THIS HAS
BEEN A CENTRAL TOPIC FOR
DISCUSSION, WHEN WILL IT BE TOO
LATE TO ACT GIVEN THAT WE CANNOT
POSSIBLY ASSUME WE KNOW
EVERYTHING THERE IS TO KNOW
ABOUT IRAN'S MILITARY PROGRAM.
HOW IS THE OBAMA VISIT BEING
RECEIVED BY THE PALESTINIANS?
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS LOOK AT
REACTIONS TO SEE THE SEA OF
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ISRAELIS AND
PALESTINIANS.
PALESTINIANS, OF COURSE, HAVE
BEEN HOPING AND EXPECTING THE
UNITED STATES WILL PUSH ISRAEL
INTO THE AGREEMENT PALESTINIANS
WANT.
THAT HASN'T HAPPENED.
MORE TO THE POINT, PRESIDENT
OBAMA'S VISIT WAS WELCOMED BY
ROCKETS IN SOUTH ISRAEL.
THE PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY MAY
NOT BE DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR
IT.
GOVERNMENT OF HAMAS AND GAZA MAY
CLAIM THEY HAD NOTHING TO DO
WITH IT.
ONE SIDE IS VERY MUCH INTERESTED
IN REACHING PEACE AND HAS BEEN
INVESTING AND WORKING IN
BUILDING A CULTURE OF
CO-EXISTENCE, THAT IS ISRAEL.
PALESTINIAN STREET IS REFUSING
TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND DREAMING OF
THE DAY WHEN ISRAEL WOULD
DISAPPEAR.
THAT IS THE HEART AND CORE OF
THE PROBLEM AND CONFLICT AND
DIFFICULTY IN SOLVING IT.
RENEWED AND FRESH PUSH BETWEEN
THE TWO SIDES.
UNLESS AND UNTIL THE
PALESTINIANS COME TO TERMS WITH
ISRAEL'S RIGHT TO EXIST, YOU ARE
NOT GOING TO SEE PEACE.
CONGRESS PASSED A MEASURE
THAT KEEPS THE GOVERNMENT UP AND
RUNNING ENDING THREAT OF A
GOVERNMENT SHUT DOWN.
HOUSE REPUBLICANS PASS ADD PLAN
THAT WILL BALANCE THE BUDGET IN
10 YEARS OFFERED BY PAUL RYAN.
IT BALANCED THE DEFICIT IN A
DECADE.
IT INCLUDES CHANGES TO MEDICARE.
ALSO REQUIRE THE REPEAL OF THE
PRESIDENT'S HEALTH CARE LAW
WHICH IS THREE YEARS OLD TODAY.
THIS PLAN RECOGNIZES IF WE
CAN'T HANDLE OUR OUT OF CONTROL
DEBT, WE WILL LOSE CONTROL OF
OUR FUTURE.
'OBAMACARE' GETS RID OF THE
BENEFITS OF 'OBAMACARE.'
BUDGET PLAN IS NOT EXPECTED
TO SEE LIGHT OF DAY IN SENATE
WHERE DEMOCRATS ARE TALKING
ABOUT RAISING TACK TAXES AND
SPENDING CUTS.
A PANEL MADE THE CASE, COURT'S
DECISIONS COULD RADICALLY CHANGE
AMERICA.
THEY MIGHT HAVE A BIGGER IMPACT
THAN ROE V. WADE LEGALIZING
ABORTION
REPORTER: SUPREME COURT TAKES
UP TWO CRUCIAL QUESTIONS MARCH
26TH AND 27, SHOULD FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT DEFINE MARRIAGE AS
BETWEEN A MAN AND WOMAN.
IF NO, THAT COULD MAKE GAY
MARRIAGE LAY OF THE LAND.
THEY WOULD IGNORE FUNDAMENTAL
TRUTH.
REDEFINING MARRIAGE WOULD
TEACH IT IS NOT ABOUT UNITING
MAN AND WOMAN OR THE SOCIAL
REALITY THAT A CHILD NEEDS A MOM
AND DAD.
IT ABSECURES THOSE TRUTHS AND
MAKES IT ABOUT THE NEEDS OF
ADULTS THAN THE NEEDS OF
CHILDREN.
HOMOSEXUALS ARGUE THEY
DESERVE THE SAME RIGHTS UNDER
THE LAW.
THE GOVERNMENT PROTECTS
TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE BECAUSE IT
IS CRUCIAL TO THE SURVIVE OF
SOCIETY.
BY FAR BEST PRODUCES AND
RAISES THE CHILDREN THAT ARE THE
OFFSPRING OF THOSE
RELATIONSHIPS.
IF YOU SEVER THAT, THAT IS THE
GOAL IN THE FIRST PLACE.
MARRIAGE IS WHAT HAS BEEN THE
UNION OF MAN AND WOMAN.
THAT IS HOW THE SUPREME COURT
HAS ACKNOWLEDGED MARRIAGE 14
THYME TIMES IN ITS PRIOR JURY
RIS PRUDENCE.
WHETHER THE SUPREME COURT --
AMERICANS WANT TO ENGAGE IN THIS
DEBATE.
WE HAVE BEEN DOING THIS THE LAST
10 YEARS.
WHAT WE NEED IS THE SUPREME
COURT TO KEEP ITS HANDS OFF OF
MARRIAGE.
HERITAGE FOUNDATION POINTS
OUT IN A NATION THAT HAS
LEGALIZED SAME-SEX MARRIAGE WILL
FACE DISCRIMINATION AND
PUNISHMENT.
THEY HAVE SHUT DOWN CHRISTIAN
ADOPTION AGENCIES,
MASSACHUSETTS, ILLINOIS AND
WASHINGTON, D.C. CATHOLICS ARE
RUNNING ADOPTION AGENCIES.
THE STATE SAID WE ARE NOT GIVING
YOU LICENSES UNLESS YOU PLACE
KIDS WITH SAME-SEX MARRIAGE
COUPLES.
PAUL STRAND, CBN NEWS,
REPORTING FROM NATIONAL PRESS
CLUB.
COMING UP, TARGETING SENIOR
CITIZENS, HOW SOCIAL MEDIA IS
BRINGING NEW LIFE TO AN OLD CON.
SEVERAL STATES WARNING
INVESTORS ABOUT A COMPANY CALLED
PROFITABLE SUNRISE PROMISES RISK
FREE RETURNS UP TO 2.7% ON THEIR
MONEY.
CHRISTIAN EDITOR JAMES PARIS
SAYS THE COMPANY TARGETS
CHRISTIANS BY IMAGES OF JESUS
AND BIBLE VERSES.
WHAT MANY OF THESE SCHEMES DO
IS PAY THE CURRENT INVESTORS BY
BRINGING IN NEW INVESTORS.
I KNOW THIS IS A CLICHE IF THIS
SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, IT
PROBABLY IS.
IF BANK CD'S PAY 1% AND YOU CAN
EARN 2% IN ONE SINGLE DAY THEY
ARE NOT PROVIDING YOU, NOT A
LICENSED INVESTMENT ADVISER,
THESE ARE OBVIOUS TIPOFFS.
PARIS AND A NON-PROFIT FRAUD
INVESTIGATION GROUP SAYS PASTORS
HAVE FALLEN PREY.
THEY HAVE COLLECTED MORE THAN
100 MILLION DOLLARS.
FOR MORE GO TO CBNNEWS.COM.
SOCIAL MEDIA LIKE FACEBOOK AND
TWITTER ARE GIVING NEW LIFE TO
AN OLD CON GAME, TARGETING
SENIOR CITIZENS.
THE CROOKS AT TIMES END UP WITH
THE ENTIRE LIFE SAVINGS.
THE GRANDPARENT SCAM
REPORTER: FAMILY MEANS
EVERYTHING TO THIS FAMILY.
AS HOLOCAUST SURVIVORS, THEIR
FAMILY LOST EVERYTHING.
I AM THE ONLY SURVIVOR OF MY
FAMILY.
SO MY GRANDSON MEANS A LOT TO
ME.
REPORTER: HE WAS ON NINA'S
MIND WHEN SHE ANSWERED THE
PHONE.
HE SAID HI GRANDMA, HOW ARE
YOU DOING?
I SAID WHO AM I TALKING TO?
HE SAID JOSHUA.
HE SAID HE HAD BEEN IN GREECE
ATTENDING A FRIEND'S WEDDING.
HE SAID I AM IN BIG TROUBLE,
PROMISE NOT TO TELL MY PARENTS.
CALLER WAS SUPPOSEDLY IN JAIL
BECAUSE HE WRECKED A RENTAL CAR.
THEY WOULD NOT LET ME GO
UNTIL I PAY THE DAMAGES.
I SAID HOW MUCH ARE THE DAMAGES?
HE SAID $3,500.
REPORTER: NINA PRESSED THE
CALLER FOR A NUMBER TO CALL HIM
BACK.
HE SAID IF YOU ARE NOT GOING
TO GIVE ME THE MONEY, THEY WON'T
LET ME LEAVE THE COUNTRY.
I SAID JOSH, DOESN'T SOUND LIKE
YOU.
MAYBE I HAVE TO TALK TO
SOMEBODY.
HE DIDN'T WANT TO GIVE THE
TELEPHONE NUMBER.
AT THAT POINT WE GOT DISENGAGED.
THAT IS IT.
NO MONEY.
[LAUGHTER].
REPORTER: LEON CALLED HIS
GRANDSON SAFE IN ISRAEL.
TO BE ABLE TO EXMROPLOIT
GRANDPARENTS
REPORTER: HE SAID IT FOLLOWED
THE FOUR-STEP DANCE TO
GRANDPARENT SCAM.
ESTABLISH CREDIBILITY,
EMERGENCY, SECRECY, EXPLOIT
THEIR NATURAL DESIRE TO HELP
GRANDCHILDREN.
WE HAVE HEARD FROM SENIORS
THAT WIRED $3,800 TO THESE
CROOKS.
AGE OF SOCIAL MEDIA IS MAKING
IT EASIER FOR CROOKS TO GET A
TARGET WHERE MILLIONS COME TO
POST PERSONAL INFORMATION TO
SHARE WITH FAMILY.
IN THE HANDS OF A CROOK, THAT
CAN BE USEFUL TO CON A
GRANDPARENT WHO ISN'T LIKELY TO
HAVE A FACEBOOK PAGE.
I DON'T KNOW WHERE DID THEY
GET THIS INFORMATION?
THAT I HAVE A GRANDSON NAMED
JOSHUA.
THIS IS THE MOST DISPICABLE
FRAUD WE SEE IN THIS OFFICE.
IT IS JUST ONE DROP SHORT OF
VIOLENT CRIME
REPORTER: GRANDPARENTS AREN'T
THE ONLY ONES.
NEVER RUSH TO WIRE MONEY
ANYWHERE, UNLESS YOU KNOW FOR
SURE WHO WILL GET IT.
WIRING MONEY IS NO DIFFERENT
THAN HANDING CASH
REPORTER: AFTER ALMOST OF
BECOMING A VICTIM.
HE HAD ANSWERS FOR
EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING.
IT IS IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE TO
ASK PERSONAL QUESTIONS TO MAKE
SURE THIS IS THEIR LOVED ONES.
EPHRAIM GRAHAM, CBN NEWS,
MONTGOMERY, COUNTY, MARYLAND.

CHALLENGE" WHAT TO EXPECT IN

THEN IT BECOMES INTERESTING AND
FUN.
REPORTER: THIS SHOW HAS
BECOME QUITE A SUCCESS, DID YOU
ANTICIPATE IT DOING AS GOOD AS
IT DID?
NO.
THIS WAS KIND OF OUT OF THE BOX.
I PERSONALLY BELIEVE GOD PROOET
BREATHED HIS ATTRIBUTES IN US.
YOU HAVE TO PUT THE BOOKS OF THE
BIBLE IN THE RIGHT ORDER.
JUST THE KIND OF MAKE IT FUN.
IT SHOULD BE A FUN THINK.
REPORTER: IN DEED.
I KNOW YOU TRAVEL THE COUNTRY AS
A STAND UP COMEDIAN.
I THINK THEY LIKE THE FACT
YOU SEE IT BEING LIVED OUT.
ONLY PEOPLE JESUS GOD SIDEWAYS
WITH WERE THE PHARISEES WITH THE
HEAD KNOWLEDGE AND NO HEART
KNOWLEDGE.
THESE PEOPLE ON OUR SHOW ARE
DOING THIS.
WE ARE GIVING THEM A WAY TO TAKE
MONEY BACK THERE.
WE ARE NOT ASHAMED THIS IS WHAT
IT IS.
IT SEEMS LIKE ALMOST IN THIS
COUNTRY, YOU HAVE TO APOLOGIZE
FOR HAVING FAITH.
THREE LADIES FROM PLANO, TEXAS
THAT RAN A FOOD PANTRY AND WON
$25,000 ON THE SHOW.
WE WENT TO COMMERCIAL.
I SAID WHAT DOES $25,000 MEAN TO
YOU?
THAT IS 80,000 MEALS IN MY
NEIGHBORHOOD.
YOU ARE THINKING OKAY.
THIS ISN'T JUST A GAME SHOW,
THIS IS COOL.
THIS IS CHANGING SOMEBODY'S
LIFE.
REPORTER: BEAUTIFUL.
I UNDERSTAND YOU ARE EMBARKING
ON A NEW COMEDY TOUR, TELL US
ABOUT THAT?
OUT OF EVERYTHING, IF YOU PUT
A GUN TO MY HEAD AND YOU COULD
ONLY DO ONE THING, IT WOULD BE
STAND UP.
I CONTINUE TO DO THAT AND WRITE.
AS MY MOTHER SAYS YOU DON'T HAVE
TO TELL EVERYTHING THAT GOES ON
IN THIS FAMILY.
I SURE LOVE DOING IT.
I JUST STARTED FILMING A SHOW
FOR CBS.
COMPETITION FOR AMATEUR BAKERS.
LIFE IS GOOD.

NETANYA
NETANYAHUWORK.

MONTPELIER.
SOMETHING THAT STINKS HAS THE
JUDGES TURNING UP THEIR NOSES.
IT WAS A CONTEST THAT LEFT
THE JUDGES HOLDING THEIR NOSES
IN VERMONT.
KIDS OF ALL AGES LINED UP TO
COMPETE IN 38TH ANNUAL ROTTEN
SNEAKER CONTESTS.
SOME TRAVELING ALL THE WAY FROM
ALASKA TO WIN THE TITLE.
JUDGES BASED IT ON ODOR.
WINNER WAS A 14 YEAR OLD FROM
BRISTOL, CONNECTICUT.
I GOT MY SNEAKERS ROTTEN BY
PUTTING THEM IN THE CHICKEN
COOP.
AND WALKING THE DOGS TO THE
PARK.
THE CHICKEN COOP WAS A
CLASSIC MOVE.
IT IS ONE OF THE WORST SMELLS
EVER.
THAT IS BAD.
A CHECK FOR $2,500 AND FREE TRIP
TO NEW YORK CITY GIVEN TO THE
WINNER.
A SPECIAL PERSON TO BE A JUDGE.
THAT IS ALL FOR THIS EDITION OF
"NEWSWATCH."
