>> Wendy: COMING
UP...THE CRISIS IN THE
HEARTLAND.
>> THIS MIGHT KILL ME.
I MAY DIE.
>> Wendy: OPIOID
ADDICTIONS ARE
SKYROCKETING, AND IT IS
KILLING MIDDLE AMERICA.
>> I KNEW I WAS NEVER,
EVER GOING BACK.
>> Wendy: THEN, THE
TWO-TIME GOLD MEDAL
WINNING SKEET SHOOTER,
VINCENT HANCOCK TELLS US
WHAT HE IS REALLY AIMING
FOR.
>> THIS IS WHAT YOU'RE
MEANT TO DO.
>> Wendy: ON TODAY'S
"700 CLUB."
*
>> Pat: WELL, WELCOME,
FOLKS, TO THIS EDITION OF
"THE 700 CLUB."
YOU KNOW, THE LAW IS ON
THE BOOKS HAVING TO DO
WITH ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS,
BUT I, FOR ONE, WISH THE
PRESIDENT HAD JUST COOLED
IT ON THIS ONE AND GOT
AHEAD WITH TAX CUTS
BECAUSE THIS IS SETTING UP
A FIRESTORM.
THEY'RE NOW ROUNDING UP
ILLEGAL ALIENS ALL OVER
THE COUNTRY.
NO, THEY'RE NOT SUPPOSED
TO BE HERE, AND IF THEY'RE
CRIMINALS, THEY SHOULD BE
LOCKED UP.
BUT, BOY, OH, BOY,
EVERYBODY IS AFTER HIM.
AND IT WILL BE ONE MORE
BROUHAHA I WISH WE DIDN'T
HAVE TO GO THROUGH.
WENDY IS HERE.
>> Wendy: I AM.
IT IS WEDNESDAY.
>> Pat: A WENDY
WEDNESDAY.
>> Wendy: I DON'T KNOW
IF THE FOLKS AT HOME CAN
SEE YOUR TIE, BUT YOU HAVE
LITTLE HORSES GALLOPING ON
THERE.
>> Pat: YOU ARE SO
OBSERVANT.
LITTLE HORSES JUMPING.
THAT IS A LAVAD THAT HORSE
IS DOING.
>> Wendy: A LAVANT?
>>> THE PRESIDENT IS
WORKING WITH CONGRESS ON
SOME KEY ISSUES LIKE
REPEALING AND REPLACING
OBAMACARE, BUT SOME
MEMBERS OF CONGRESS ARE
FACING PROTESTS WHEN THEY
GO HOME FOR LOCAL TOWNHALL
MEETINGS.
CAITLIN BURKE BRINGS US
THAT STORY.
>> Caitlin: FROM TRAFFIC
VIOLATIONS TO MURDER, ANY
IMMIGRANT IN THE U.S.
ILLEGALLY AND IS EVEN
CONSIDERED UNDER A
FRACTION, ARE UNDER THE
NEW RULE.
>> THOSE WHO POSE A THREAT
TO PUBLIC SAFETY OR WHO
HAVE COMMITTED A CRIME
WILL BE THE FIRST TO GO.
>> Caitlin: SUPPORTERS
ARE APPLAUDING THE NEW
RULE, BUT THE IMMIGRANT
COMMUNITY AND ITS
ADVOCATES ARE DENOUNCING
IT.
>> BREAKING UP FAMILIES
AND DEPORTING IMMIGRANTS
IS NOT GOING TO SOLVE ANY
OF THOSE ROBS.
>> Reporter: WHEN TRUMP
WON THE ELECTION IN
NOVEMBER, MANY JOINED THE
SANCTUARY MOVEMENT,
OFFERING ASYLUM TO
UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS.
BUT A RECENT POLL SHOWS A
MAJORITY OF THE AMERICANS
STAND BEHIND TRUMP'S
POSITION TO CRACK DOWN ON
CERTAIN COUNTRIES.
80% SAY LOCAL AUTHORITIES
SHOULD HAVE TO APPLY WITH
THE LAW BY REPORTING TO
FEDERAL AGENTS THE ILLEGAL
IMMIGRANTS THEY COME INTO
CONTACT WITH.
AND PRESIDENT TRUMP IS
TALKING ABOUT THE JEWISH
COMMUNITIES IN THE RECENT
MONTHS.
>> President Trump: THE
ANTI-SEMITIC THREATS TO
OUR JEWISH COMMUNITY
CENTERS ARE HORRIBLE AND
PAINFUL, AND A VERY SAD
REMINDER OF THE WORK THAT
STILL MUST BE DONE TO ROOT
OUT HATE AND PREJUDICE AND
EVIL.
>> Reporter: TRUMP'S
COMMENTS MADE AT THE NEWLY
OPENED NATIONAL MUSEUM OF
AFRICAN-AMERICAN HISTORY
AND CULTURE MARKS THE
FIRST TIME HE HAS DIRECTLY
ADDRESSED THE THREATS
AGAINST AMERICAN JEWS.
MEANWHILE, CONGRESS IS
ALSO FACING CRITICISM, AND
IT IS COMING FROM BOTH
SIDES OF THE AISLE.
ONE MAJOR PROBLEM:
AGREEING ON A WAY TO
REPEAL AND REPLACE
OBAMACARE.
THE "NEW YORK TIMES"
RECENTLY REPORTED, QUOTE,
"EFFORTS TO COM COME UP WITH A
REPLACEMENT FOR THE HEALTH
CARE LAW HAVE BEEN STYMIED
BY DISAGREEMENTS BY
REPUBLICANS."
AND DEMOCRATS ARE TAKING
THEIR PROTESTS AGAINST THE
PLANS ON OBAMACARE,
IMMIGRATION, AND OTHER
ISSUES TO REPUBLICAN
LAWMAKERS IN THEIR LOCAL
TOWNHALL MEETINGS.
>> NO WALL, AMERICA HAS
ROOM FOR ALL.
>> Reporter: PRESIDENT
TRUMP TWEETED THAT THE
NUMEROUS PROTESTS WERE
PLANNED OUT BY LIBERAL
ACTIVISTS.
MANY SAY THEY ARE SIMPLY
GRASSROOTS OPPONENTS OF
THE PRESIDENT'S AGENDA.
THEY HAVE POSTEDED PLANS
ON LINE ON HOW TO STAGE
PROTESTS.
STILL, IN WASHINGTON,
PRESIDENT TRUMP IS MAKING
IT CLEAR HE IS PLANNING TO
MOVE AHEAD ON ISSUES LIKE
OBAMACARE, THE ECONOMY,
IMMIGRATION, AND MORE, AND
HE'LL HAVE TO BE WORKING
WITH CONGRESS TO MAKE IT
HAPPEN.
CAITLIN BURKE, CBN NEWS.
>> Pat: THANKS, CAITLIN.
>>> DAVID BRODY IS WITH US
NOW FROM WASHINGTON.
DAVID, HOW DOES THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION LOOK AT
THESE LAST FEW WEEKS?
ARE THEY OPTMISTIC OR ARE
THEY FRUSTRATEDED?
>> David: THEY'RE
FRUSTRATED WITH THE MEDIA
COVERAGE, BUT BEYOND THAT,
THEY THINK THINGS ARE
GOING PRETTY WELL.
YOU MENTIONED AT THE TOP
OF THE BROADCAST, HE HAS
TAKEN ON SOME
CONTROVERSIAL ISSUES, AS
RELATES TO THE TRAVEL BAN,
AND NOW THIS IMMIGRATION
ORDER.
THE WHITE HOUSE BELIEVES
THEY HAVE GOT TO GET
THINGS DONE QUICKLY, AND
THE BEST WAY TO DO THAT ON
THE IMMIGRATION FRONT AND
THE TRAVEL BAN FRONT, IS
TO GO THROUGH WITH
EXECUTIVE ORDERS, AND SO
THAT'S WHY THEY HAVE
ROLLED THIS OUT FIRST.
AS IT RELATES TO HEALTH
CARE AND TAX REFORM, AND
ALL OF THE HEAVY LIFT,
THAT HAS TO GO THROUGH
CONGRESS, THAT'S WHERE THE
RUBBER MEETS THE ROAD.
AND THEY'VE GOT TO GET
MOVING ON SOME OF THAT
STUFF OR THEY MAY LOSE
CONTROL OF SOME OF THE
NARRATIVE, PAT.
>> Pat: THE "NEW YORK
TIMES" IS DOING EVERYTHING
THEY CAN TO MAKE HIM LOOK
BAD.
BUT ARE THE REPUBLICANS
FIGHTING OVER THESE
ISSUES.
IS THERE CONSENSUS, FROM
WHAT YOU FOUND ON THE
HILL?
>> David: THERE IS NOT
CONSENSUS.
THERE IS NOT CONSENSUS ON
ACTUALLY THE PLAN TO
REPLACE OBAMACARE.
AND THERE IS NOT
NECESSARILY CONSENSUS ON
TAX REFORM RIGHT NOW.
NOW, HAVING SAID THERE,
THERE IS A MEETING LATER
THIS AFTERNOON AT THE
WHITE HOUSE.
THE LEGISLATIVE TEAM
MEETING INSIDE THE WHITE
HOUSE ABOUT THESE THREE
SPECIFIC THINGS:
OBAMACARE, TAX REFORM, AND
THE BUDGET.
THOSE WILL ALL BE ROLLED
OUT.
REMEMBER, THE PRESIDENT IS
GOING TO SPEAK TO A JOINT
SESSION OF CONGRESS
TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK,
WHERE WE EXPECT TO HEAR
MORE DETAILS ON THIS.
WE'RE TOLD OBAMACARE, OR
AT LEAST THE PLAN TO
REPLACE OBAMACARE, WILL
COME IN MID-MARCH.
DONALD TRUMP SAYING HE
WANTS TAX REFORM, A BILL
SIGNED, BY THE END OF THE
YEAR.
PAT, WE'VE TALKED ON THIS
PROGRAM BEFORE, HOW THEY
WERE HOPING TAX REFORM
WOULD BE A BILL HE COULD
SIGN INTO LAW SOMETIME IN
THE LATE SPRINGMENT I
DON'SPRING.I DON'T THINK THAT IS
HAPPENING RIGHT NOW.
I THINK IT WILL BE MUCH
LATER THAN THAT.
>> Pat: WHAT IS THE
STICKING POINT ON
OBAMACARE?
IT SEEMS LIKE THERE IS A
UNIVERSAL FEELING AMONG
REPUBLICANS THAT THAT
THING NEEDS TO GO, BUT
WHAT IS THE HOLD-UP?
>> David: I THINK THE
HOLD-UP IS HOW MUCH DO YOU
REPLACE?
YOU HAVE THE TED CRUZ
CROWD AND THE RAND PAUL
WHO SAYS GET RID OF THE
WHOLE THING.
AND THEN YOU'VE GOT THOSE
WHO SAY LET'S PEACE-MEAL PIECE-MEAL
THIS THING.
AND IF YOU WANT TO GET RID
OF THE WHOLE ENCHILADA,
YOU MAY HAVE A BIGGER MESS
LATER ON DOWN THE ROAD.
SO THINK THERE IS SOME
POLITICAL CALCULATION
HERE, PAT.
>> Pat: THE DEMOCRATS
HAVE DONE EVERYTHING TO
FRUSTRATE THE APPOINTMENT
OF THE CABINET -- IT IS
SHOCKING WHAT THEY HAVE
DONE.
IS MITCH McCONNELL READY
TO JAM THE NEXT
APPOINTMENTS THROUGH AND
STOP THIS BACK AND FORTH?
>> David: THE SENSE IS
THAT THE FRUSTRATION IS
WEARING THIN.
McCONNELL IS A STUDENT
OF THE SENATE AND A GUY
WHO LIKES TO PLAY BY THE
PROCEDURAL RULES, AT LEAST
FOR THE TIME BEING, HE
WOULD BE RELUCTANT TO DO
THAT RIGHT AWAY.
THERE ARE SEVEN OR EIGHT,
I BELIEVE, STILL CABINET
MEMBERS NOT CONFIRMED,
PERRY FOR AGRICULTURE AND
QUITE A FEW OTHERS.
SO THERE IS A GROWING
SENSE OF FRUSTRATION THAT
THE PRESIDENT IS NOT
GETTING THESE CABINET
MEMBERS THROUGH.
BUT, ONCE AGAIN,
DEMOCRATS, AS YOU KNOW,
CHANGED THOSE RULES BACK
IN 2013 TO GET THOSE
CABINET MEMBERS THROUGH ON
A MAJORITY VOTE.
SO EVENTUALLY THEY'LL GET
THERE.
BUT, REALLY, IF YOU THINK
ABOUT THE CROWN JEWEL OF
ALL OF THIS FOR THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION IN THE
FIRST 100 DAYS HAS BEEN
THE NEIL GORSUCH PICK FOR
THE SUPREME COURT.
IT HAS GONE OVER VERY
WELL.
IT LOOKS LIKE SMOOTH
SAILING ON THAT FRONT.
>> Pat: HE IS BRINGING
OUT A NEW EXECUTIVE
ORDER -- I TALKED TO JAY
SEKULOW ABOUT WHAT IS
GOING TO BE IN THAT.
JAY THINKS HE CAN PASS MUS
MUSTER.
BUT TO GO BACK TO THAT
CIRCUIT IN CALIFORNIA, THE
NINTH CIRCUIT, IS A
TERRIBLE DANGER BECAUSE
THEY'LL PROBABLY GO
AGAINST IT.
AND THEN YOU'VE GOT A
SPLIT COURT.
SO IT IS A VERY RISKY
THING HE IS DOING RIGHT
NOW.
>> David: WELL, WHAT
THE WHITE HOUSE WANTS TO
DO IS GO DUAL TRACK.
THEY'RE NOT GOING TO
RESCIND THE ORIGINAL
EXECUTIVE ORDER THAT WAS
STOPPED BY THE NINTH
CIRCUIT.
THAT WILL GO FORWARD.
BUT THEY BELIEVE THEY CAN
ARGUE THAT EXECUTIVE ORDER
ON THE MERITS.
IT WILL GO BACK TO
WASHINGTON STATE AND
THEY'LL DEAL WITH THAT ON
ONE TRACK.
AND THE OTHER TRACK WILL
BE THIS NEW EXECUTIVE
ORDER THAT IS SUPPOSED TO
BE TAILORED A LITTLE MORE
SPECIFICALLY.
AND IT WILL INCLUDE THOSE
SEVEN TERROR-PRONE
COUNTRIES.
AND I SEA "TERROR-PRONE
COUNTRIES."
AND YOU HEAR IN THE MEDIA,
MUSLIM-PRONE COUNTRIES.
OBVIOUSLY THE GREEN CARD
HOLDERS AND THOSE
TRAVELLING INTO THE UNITED
STATES AT THE TIME WILL BE
EXEMPT.
>> Pat: THE BIGGEST
MUSLIM COUNTRY IN THE
WORLD IS INDONESIA.
THERE IS NO DISCUSSION OF
INDONESIA HAVING ANY BAN.
I DON'T BELIEVE PAKISTAN
IS IN THERE, EITHER.
DAVID, ONE LAST THING:
THESE PROTESTS, USUALLY IT
LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE PAID
DEMONSTRATORS.
ANY OF THEM LEGIT, DO YOU
THINK?
>> David: I THINK SOME
OF IT IS LEGIT FOR SURE.
BUT A LOT IS BEING PUT
TOGETHER BY LIBERAL
ACTIVISTS, NO DOUBT.
THERE IS A TRUMP WAR ROOM
IN THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL
COMMITTEE THAT IS ACTIVE,
VERY MUCH SO, IN CIRCLES
HERE IN WASHINGTON AND
THEN BEYOND.
THERE IS ACTUAL PROOF.
WE KNOW THAT LIBERAL
ACTIVISTS ARE BEHIND A LOT
OF THIS, BUT THE QUESTION
IS WHAT IS THE PERCENTAGE?
70%?
60%?
WHO KNOWS.
THIS IS THE PROBLEM FOR
REPUBLICANS: UNTIL THEY
GET A TAX REFORM AND A
HEALTH CARE PLAN IN PLACE,
AND LEGISLATION MOVING ON
CAPITOL HILL, WHAT ARE
THEY LEFT WITH, PAT, AT
TOWNHALL?
THEY DON'T HAVE ANYTHING
YET.
THAT'S THE BIGGER ISSUE
FOR THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION.
FOR REPUBLICANS, THEY CAN
BLAME LIBERAL ACTIVISTS,
BUT THE TRUTH OF THE
MATTER IS THEY NEED MORE
PROOF IN THE PUDDING.
WHEN THEY GET THAT, THEY
WILL HAVE SOME SORT OF
LEGISLATIVE LEG TO STAND
ON.
>> Pat: DAVID, I AGREE
TOTALLY.
DAVID BRODY, LADIES AND
GENTLEMEN.
>> Wendy: BUT IT HAS
ONLY BEEN A MONTH.
SO MUCH IS EXPECTED.
TO GET ALL OF HIS CABINET
IN PLACE.
BUT TRUMP HAS PUT A LOT OF
PEOPLE BACK TO WORK.
>> Pat: I THINK HE HAS
DONE A TREMENDOUS JOB.
HE KEEPS ON GOING LIKE THE
ENERGIZER BUNNY.
WHAT A WONDERFUL
PRESIDENT.
>>> YOU ARE A NATIVE OF
WEST VIRGINIA.
>> Wendy: YES, SIR.
>> Pat: WEST VIRGINIA
AND THE HEARTLAND OF
AMERICA NOW HAS A PROBLEM.
WERE YOU AWARE OF THIS
SO-CALLED OPIOID PROBLEM?
>> Wendy: NO.
I NEVER HAD EVEN ACTUALLY
HEARD OF THAT DRUG.
MY LEAGUE, LORIE JOHNSON,
WENT DOWN THERE, AND WE'RE
GOING TO TALK ABOUT THAT.
THAT'S COMING UP.
AN ALARMING INCREASE IN
DEATHS AMONG MIDDLE-AGED
WHITE WOMEN LIVING IN
AMERICA'S HEARTLAND.
SO WHAT IS THE CULPRIT?
FIND OUT AFTER THIS.
>> Pat: SEVERAL YEARS
AGO, I, YOUR FRIEND, HAD A
PARTIAL KNEE REPLACEMENT.
THE KNEE HAD ERODED AND I
HAD BEEN JOGGING, AND THE
KNEE WAS SHOT.
IT HAD ALL KINDS OF
ARTHRITIS IN IT.
AND IT WAS VERY, VERY
PAINFUL.
SO I WENT TO SEE AN
OUTSTANDING DOCTOR IN
CHICAGO, DR. BURGER, AND I
SAID, WHAT CAN I DO?
AND HE SAID HE COULD DO A
PARTIAL KNEE REPLACEMENT.
WHAT THAT AMOUNTED TO WAS
HE WOULD TAKE A SAW -- WE
HAD A CAMERA CREW IN
THERE, AND THEY HAD A BAND
SAW AND YOU COULD SEE THE
BONE SHOOTING UP.
THEY CUT THIS ARTHRITIS
OUT.
>> Wendy: WOW!
>> Pat: AND THEN THEY
TOOK A WHOLE BUNCH OF GLUE
AND PUT A TITANIUM CAP IN
THERE.
>> Wendy: YOU'RE LIKE
THE BIONIC MAN.
>> Pat: I'VE GOT A
LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING
IN ME.
I'VE GOT A BIONIC KNEE, A
TITANIUM KNEE.
OKAY, HE GAVE ME
SOMETHING.
HE GAVE ME OXYCONTIN, AND
HE SAID FOR BREAKTHROUGH
PAIN, HERE IS SOMETHING
CALLED OXYCODONE.
I DIDN'T TAKE IT.
I WASN'T ABOUT TO GO
THROUGH THAT BREAKTHROUGH
STUFF BECAUSE I KNEW IT
HAD A POTENTIAL TO HOOK
YOU.
WELL, WHAT WE'RE LEARNING
IN THIS STORY, WENDY, IS
THAT THIS STUFF, OXYCONTIN
AND OXYCODONE AND OTHER
PAINKILLERS, OPIOIDS, ARE
TAKING HOLD IN THE
HEARTLAND OF AMERICA.
YOUR STATE OF WEST
VIRGINIA.
>> Wendy: I DID NOT KNOW
THIS.
>> Pat: YEAH.
IT IS SHOCKING.
AND THE LIFE SPAN OF
PEOPLE HERE IN THE UNITED
STATES IS INCREASING FOR
YEARS, GETTING CLOSE TO
79.
LAST YEAR THAT NUMBER
DROPPED.
AND THAT CAN BE TRACED TO
WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE
COUNTRYSIDE.
LORIE JOHNSON BRIN BRINGS US
THIS SHOCKING STORY ABOUT
OPIOID ADDICTION IN THE
HEARTLAND.
>> Lorie: INSTEAD OF
FALLING, DEATH RATES ARE
ACTUALLY RISING,
ESPECIALLY FOR MIDDLE-AGED
WHITE WOMEN.
DOCTORS POINT TO OBESITY,
SMOKING, AND OTHER CAUSES.
HERE IN SMALL-TOWN
AMERICA, FOLKS ARE DEALING
WITH AN ALARMING INCREASE
IN DEATHS FROM ACCIDENTAL
OPIOID OVERDOSES FROM
THINGS LIKE PAINKILLERS
AND HEROIN, AND ALSO
ALCOHOL-RELATED DEATHS AND
SUICIDE.
IN RECENT YEARS, DEATH
RATES ROSE A REPORTED 30%
AMONG MIDDLE-AGED WHITE
FEMALES LIVING IN RURAL
AREAS.
ALLANE VANCE GREW UP IN A
SMALL COAL-MINING TOWN.
SHE ALMOST BECAME ONE OF
THOSE STATISTICS.
>> I REMEMBER THE FIRST
TIME I HAD EVER DONE
HEROIN.
I REMEMBER THINKING, THIS
MIGHT KILL ME.
I MAY DIE.
AND THEN THE LONGER I WAS
IN ACTIVE ADDICTION, I
REMEMBER MIXING IT UP IN
THE SPOON AND JUST SAYING,
I HOPE THIS KILLS ME.
I'M READY TO DIE.
>> Lorie: HERS IS AN
UNFORTUNATE STORY LINE.
IT BEGINS WITH TAKING
PRESCRIPTION PAIN
MEDICATION AND DEVELOPING
AN ADDICTION THAT
ULTIMATELY LEADS TO
HEROIN.
WHAT MADE YOU DO THE
SWITCH-OVER.
>> THE HEROIN WAS CHEAPER.
>> Lorie: AT FIRST
GETTING HIGH HELPED HER
ESCAPE PAINFUL EMOTIONS,
IN ALLANE'S CASE, FROM
DIVORCE AND POVERTY.
THEN SHE COULDN'T STOP.
>> IT CONSUMED MY EVERY
THOUGHT.
>> Lorie: HERE IN
AMERICA, MANY OPIOID
ADDICTIONS BEGIN RATHER
INNOCENTLY, STARTING WITH
AN INJURY, WHERE
PAINKILLERS ARE
PRESCRIBED.
AND LYNNE ELDRIDGE HAS
TREATED PATIENTS FOR MORE
THAN 20 YEARS, SHE SAYS
OPIOID ABUSE HAS EXPLODED
LIKE NOTHING SHE HAS EVER
SEEN.
>> THEY MAY GET HURT.
THEY'RE PUT ON A PAIN
PILL, AND IT'S O OXYCONTIN
OR WHATEVER IT MIGHT BE,
AND AS THEY GO THROUGH THE
PRESCRIBED USAGE OF THE
DRUG, SOMETIMES THEY'LL
SAY, I FELT A LITTLE
BETTER WHEN I WAS TAKING
IT.
AND THEN MY NEIGHBOR HAD
SOME LEFT OVER, AND I
DECIDED TO TAKE HERS.
AND THEN WHEN THAT GOT
DIFFICULT TO GET, I WAS
INTRODUCED TO SOMEBODY WHO
HAD HEROIN.
>> Lorie: COMPARED TO
THE CITY, BUYING, SELLING,
AND EVEN TAKING DRUGS IN
THE COUNTRY, WELL, THAT'S
EASY.
>> YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO ON
A STREET CORNER.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO INTO
THE SHOPPING MALL.
YOU JUST GO ON TO A BACK
ROAD BECAUSE THERE IS
NOBODY AROUND TO SEE YOU.
>> Lorie: DESPITE THE
GROWING DEATH TOLL, PEOPLE
CAN BREAK FREE.
>> DETOX.
YOU NEED TO BE DETOXED
PROFESSIONALLY IN THE
MEDICAL SETTING SO IT CAN
BE HANDLED IN A SAFE WAY.
>> ONE OF THE NEWEST AND
BEST -- IT'S A GAME
CHANGING MEDICATION IS
VIVITROL.
IT IS AN INJECTION
RECEIVED IN A DOCTOR'S
OFFICE, AND IT WILL TAKE
AWAY THE CRAVING AND THEY
GET THEIR LIFE BACK.
>> Lorie: WHILE ALANE
CREDITS HER RECOVERY TO
DETOX, AND A 12-STEP
PROGRAM, SHE GIVES MOST OF
THE CREDIT TO GOD.
>> I GOT TO KNOW JESUS.
AND I REALIZED THE SAME
POWER THAT ROSE HIM FROM
THE GRAVE IS WHAT FIGHTS
ADDICTION.
NOT ME.
I CAN'T BEAT IT.
ONCE I REALIZED THAT WAS
THE POWER FIGHTING FOR ME,
I KNEW I WAS NEVER, EVER
GOING BACK.
>> Lorie: ALANE WENT TO
"ONE VOICE," A CHRISTIAN
OUTREACH THAT OFFERS
ADDICTS TREATMENT
REFERRALS, FOOD, CLOTHING,
FRIENDSHIP, AND MOST
IMPORTANTLY THE GOSPEL.
>> GOD GIVES YOU THE
OPPORTUNITY TO CHOOSE LIFE
OR CHOOSE DEATH.
AND THAT'S WHAT WE WANT TO
TELL THEM.
WE GET TO BRAG ON GOD AND
TELL THEM IF THEY WANT TO
SEE A DIFFERENCE IN THEIR
LIFE, THAT'S REALLY THE
ONLY TRUE WAY TO DO THIS.
>> Lorie: THAT MEANS A
LOT OF PRAYER.
>> YES, LIGHT OUR PATH,
GOD.
YOU ARE THE LIGHT IN A
DARK WORLD.
FATHER, HELP US TO BE THAT
LIGHT.
HELP US TO BE STRONG IN
YOU.
>> I NEEDED THEIR HELP.
I NEEDED THEIR MENTORSHIP.
I NEEDED THEIR PRAYERS AND
THEIR SUGGESTIONS AND
THEIR ADVICE.
AND MOST OF ALL, I NEEDED
THEIR LOVE.
AND I RECEIVED ALL OF THAT
FROM THEM.
AND NOW I JUST TRY TO GIVE
THAT BACK.
I TRY TO BE THAT PERSON
FOR THE NEXT ME.
>> Lorie: YOU DON'T HAVE
TO BE A FORMER ADDICT OR
EVEN A TRAINED
PROFESSIONAL TO FIGHT THE
WAR ON DRUGS.
>> YOU CAN PRAY.
YOU CAN ALSO OPEN UP YOUR
CHURCH CLASSROOMS TO DO
12-STEPS.
YOU CAN OFFER A DAY OF
TESTIMONY THAT THE VOICES
OF RECOVERY, THOSE THAT
HAVE CHOSEN TO RECOVER AND
DO WELL, COME AND TALK.
SHARE THEIR STORIES, GIVE
HOPE TO THE OTHERS.
>> Lorie: WHILE
SUBSTANCE ABUSE CUTS SHORT
OF LIVES OF FAR TOO MANY,
PARTICULARLY IN AMERICA'S
HEARTLAND, IT IS NOT A
LOST CAUSE.
AWARENESS AND TREATMENT,
POWERED BY THE SPIRIT OF
GOD, ARE MAKING A POSITIVE
DIFFERENCE.
LORIE JOHNSON, CBN NEWS.
>> Pat: BOY, I BET MANY
OF YOU DIDN'T KNOW THAT.
IT IS SOMETHING THAT IS
KIND OF UNDERGROUND, BUT
IT IS SHOCKING.
HERE IN AMERICA.
WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT
WEST VIRGINIA.
WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT
RURAL IOWA?
WHAT'S GOING ON?
IN OHIO, I WAS TALKING TO
OUR PRODUCER, WHO WAS
SAYING IT IS RAMPANT IN
OHIO.
>> Wendy: AND THAT
PRECIOUS LADY DISCOVERED
WITH JESUS SHE HAD THE
POWER TO OVERCOME.
NO MATTER WHERE YOU LIVE,
BECAUSE THIS PROBLEM IS
WIDESPREAD, I MEAN, IF
YOU'RE IN ADDICTION, THERE
IS HOPE.
THAT LADY, SHE WANTED TO
DIE UNTIL SHE REALIZED SHE
COULD GET OUT OF IT.
>> Pat: WELL, SO MANY OF
THESE THINGS ARE BEING
PRESCRIBED BY DOCTORS.
THAT'S WHAT IS SO
TERRIBLE.
YOU'VE GOT A PAIN?
LET'S GET YOU HIGH AND
YOU'LL FEEL BETTER.
THEY'RE HAPPY PILLS OR
WHATEVER THEY ARE.
MY GOODNESS, IT BREAKS
YOUR HEART.
>> Wendy: NOT
EVERYBODY -- LIKE WHEN YOU
DECIDED, YOU MADE THAT
SMART DECISION JUST TO
DEAL WITH THE PAIN INSTEAD
OF TAKING OXYCONTIN FOR
YOUR KNEE, THAT'S A
PERSONAL DECISION.
THAT'S WHEN I WOULD DO,
TOO, BECAUSE I'M
ANTI-MEDICINE ANYWAY.
BUT IT IS EASY TO GET
HOOKED ON THAT STUFF.
>> Pat: YOU CAN REALLY
HURT.
THEY TAKE YOUR KNEE OUT
AND -- THEY SAW THE BONE
AND YOU'VE GOT SOME PAIN.
I DID TAKE A LITTLE
OXYCONTIN, BUT NOT THE OX
OXYCODONE, THAT WAS THE
HEAVY STUFF.
I SAID NO WAY AM I GOING
TO TOUCH THAT.
BUT THE DOCTOR WRITES THE
PRESCRIPTION, AND HE HAS A
WHITE COAT ON AND HE LOOKS
OFFICIAL, AND HE GIVES US
THIS LITTLE PIECE OF
PAPER.
YOU GO TO THE DRUGSTORE,
AND HERE ARE YOUR PILLS
AND AWAY YOU GO.
>> Wendy: WE'VE GOT TO
GET SMARTER.
>> Pat: MAN, WENDY, WE
REALLY DO.
>>> WHAT'S NEXT?
>> Wendy: A TWO-TIME
OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST AND
THREE TIME WORLD CHAMPION.
>> I COMPETED IN
HURRICANES AND BLIZZARDS,
AND YOU HAVE TO PERFORM
PERFECTLY EVERY TIME.
SO THERE IS NO GREATER
CHALLENGE THAN TRYING TO
BEAT YOURSELF EVERY TIME.
>> Wendy: VINCENT
HANCOCK TALKS ABOUT THE
PRESSURE BEHIND HIS PER
SUIHISPURSUIT OF PERFECTION,
>> Wendy: WELCOME BACK
TO "THE 700 CLUB."
WE'VE GOT AN INTERESTING
STORY COMING UP ABOUT A
SKEET SHOOTER.
I JUST LEARNED THAT PAT
KNOWS A LITTLE SOMETHING
ABOUT SKEET SHOOTING.
>> Pat: I KNOW
SOMETHING.
I'VE GOT A STORY.
A LADY WAS UP AT HOT
SPRINGS, WHERE THEY HAVE A
SKEET RANGE, AND I WAS UP
THERE.
AND SHE SAID, YOU KNOW, MY
HUSBAND IS A NATIONAL
CHAMPION.
AND I SAID, YES.
AND SHE SAID, HE JUST GOT
A GUN.
AND SHE SAID, I WATCHED
YOU, AND IT WAS ONE OF THE
MOST AMAZING EXAMPLES OF
SHOOTING I'VE EVER SEEN.
AND I'M THINKING, ME?
AND SHE SAID, YOU DIDN'T
HIT ONE SKEET.
[LAUGHTER]
>> Pat: I'M SO PROUD.
WHAT IT IS, IT IS A LITTLE
TEENY ROUND THING, AND IT
IS A CLAY PIGEON.
AND THEY SHOOT THEM UP IN
THE AIR AND YOU'VE GOT TO
TRACK IT AND BANG.
AND SHOOT ANOTHER ONE
GOING ANOTHER WAY -- IT IS
A FUN SPORT.
YOU'RE NOT HURTING
ANYBODY.
>> Wendy: WHO KNEW IT IS
AN OLYMPIC SPORT AS WELL.
>> Pat: IT IS VERY
SKILLFUL.
>> Wendy: WHICH BRINGS
US TO OUR STORY.
PERFORMING PERFECTLY EVERY
TIME, THAT'S WHAT SKEET
SHOOTER VINCENT HANCOCK
SAYS IS REQUIRED TO
COMPETE IN THAT SPORT.
HE IS THE FIRST TO WIN THE
GOLD IN TWO CONSECUTIVE
OLYMPIC GAMES, AND VINCENT
GIVES GOD ALL OF THE
CREDIT.
>> I DO FEEL LIKE GOD IS
THERE SAYING, THIS IS WHAT
YOU'RE MEANT TO DO.
THIS IS YOUR PASSION.
I PUT IT IN YOU FOR A
REASON.
THAT'S WHY I SAY, I WON
THE ONLY GOLD MEDAL THAT
COUNTS.
I'M VINCENT HANCOCK, AND
GOD MADE ME FAITHFUL.
>> Reporter: TWO-TIME
OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALLIST AND
THREE TIME WORLD CHAMPION
VINCENT HANCOCK KNEW AT 10
YEARS OLD THAT THE SPORT
OF SKEET FUELED A PASSION
INSIDE HIM.
>> IT IS MUCH LIKE GOLF,
WITH THE MENTALITY YOU
HAVE TO HAVE.
YOU HAVE TO EXECUTE
PERFECTLY EVERY SINGLE
TIME.
I COMPETED IN HURRICANES.
I'VE COMPETED IN
BLIZZARDS.
AND YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO
PERFORM PERFECTLY EVERY
TIME.
THERE IS NO GREATER
CHALLENGE THAN TRYING TO
BEAT YOURSELF EVERY TIME.
>> Reporter: HE WON HIS
FIRST WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
AT 16.
AND HE RECOGNIZED THAT
SELF-RELIANCE AND
DETERMINATION WERE KEY TO
HIS SUCCESS.
>> IF I HAD MY BEST DAY, I
KNOW I'M NEVER GOING TO
LOSE.
BECAUSE MY BEST DAY IS
PERFECTION.
>> PULL!
>> I'VE WORKED HARD FOR
YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS
TO GET TO THAT POINT.
>> Reporter: IN 2008,
WHILE IN TRAINING FOR THE
BEIJING OLYMPICS, HE
MARRIED REBECCA.
SHE QUIETLY TRIED TO KEEP
HIM GROUNDED IN CHRIST.
>> I WAS TRYING TO ALWAYS
ENCOURAGE HIM TO KNOW THAT
GOD IS IN CONTROL.
AND IN ANY TIMES OF WORRY
OR ANY TIMES OF NEED, GOD
IS WITH US.
AND GOD HAS OUR BACK.
>> I HAD ALWAYS THOUGHT OF
MYSELF AS BEING A
CHRISTIAN.
BUT LOOKING BACK NOW, I
WAS ANYTHING BUT.
I WAS FOCUSED ON THE GOLD,
AND THAT WAS MY ONLY
THOUGHT PROCESS.
I BASICALLY DRUG HER ALONG
WITH ME.
>> Reporter: VINCENT WAS
A WORLD CHAMPION AND
FAVORED TO WIN THE GOLD.
HE DID.
AND RODE THE HIGH FOR A
WHILE.
>> I RODE THAT HIGH AND
WON THE WORLD
CHAMPIONSHIPS IN 2009 FOR
NI SECOND TIME.
MY SECOND TIME.
>> Reporter: BUT IN
2010, VINCENT ONLY
MEDALLED ONCE, AND BEGAN
GROWING IRRITABLE AND
DEMANDING AT HOME.
>> IT KIND OF ALL
CULMINATED IN MY WORST
YEAR AND ONE OF THE WORST
YEARS OF OUR RELATIONSHIP,
IN 2011, WHERE I WAS
COMPETING THE WORST I HAD
EVER COMPETED.
I WASN'T HAVING FUN
ANYMORE.
AND I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO
DO.
>> AND I WAS TRYING TO
ENCOURAGE HIM AND TELL
HIM, JUST PRAY.
JUST ASK GOD.
AND BE AT THAT PLACE WITH
GOD SO HE CAN LEAD YOU TO
WHERE HE WANTS YOU TO GO.
>> Reporter: FINALLY HIS
WIFE'S WORDS SANK IN AND
HE TOOK HER ADVICE.
>> I WAS FRUSTRATED AT
HER, I WAS FRUSTRATED AT
MYSELF, I WAS FRUSTRATED
AT GOD.
AND I PRAYED FOR HOURS
THAT NIGHT AND CRIED FOR
HOURS.
THAT NIGHT GOD STARTED
OPENING UP MY EYES AND
SHOWING ME THE THINGS THAT
I HAD DONE, THE THINGS I
HAD DONE WRONG.
SO IT ALLOWED ME TO KIND
OF FIX THINGS AND SAY,
GOD, YOU'RE RIGHT.
I'M SO SORRY THAT I HAVE
GOTTEN TO THIS POINT WHERE
I KNOW I WANT TO BE
SUCCESSFUL IN MY SPORT,
BUT I HAVE TO FOCUS AND
YOU AND I HAVE TO FOCUS ON
MY FAMILY FIRST.
>> OUR RELATIONSHIP HAS
BLOSSOMED INTO SOMETHING
THAT IT HAS NEVER BEEN
BEFORE.
AND IT IS SO, SO MUCH
BETTER NOW.
>> Reporter: A LATER IN
LONDON, VINCENT BECAME THE
FIRST SKEET SHOOTER TO
EVER REPEAT AS AN OLYMPIC
CHAMPION.
HE CREDITS GOD FOR IT ALL,
THE WINS AND THE CHANGE OF
HEART.
>> HE SHOWED ME THE PERSON
THAT I WANTED TO BE.
AND HE SHOWED ME I CAN
CONTINUE DOING WHAT I'M
DOING AND STILL BE THE
PERSON HE NEEDS ME TO BE.
>> HE TRULY CARES ABOUT
THE PLATFORM GOD HAS GIVEN
HIM, ONLY TO GIVE IT BACK
TO GOD.
FOR VINCENT, IT IS NOT
ABOUT ACCOMPLISHMENTS.
IT IS ABOUT WHAT GOD HAS
DONE THROUGH HIM, FOR GOD.
>> Reporter: IN 2016, TO
THE SURPRISE OF MANY,
VINCENT FAILED TO REACH
THE OLYMPIC FINALS IN RIO,
BUT HIS FAITH IN GOD
WASN'T SHAKEN.
>> FAITHFUL TO ME MEANS
TRUSTING.
FOR ME, AT THE BEGINNING
OF MY CAREER, I TRUSTED
ONLY IN MYSELF.
I TRUSTED THAT I WANT TO
GO AND WIN A GOLD MEDAL.
BUT TO ME, GOD HAS MADE ME
FAITHFUL BECAUSE NOW I
KNOW WHAT FAITH TRULY IS.
IT IS HAVING A TRUST IN
WHAT GOD HAS PUT IN MY
LIFE.
I TRUST IN HIM.
I BELIEVE IN HIM.
I LOVE HIM, AND I'M
FAITHFUL TO THE ASPECT OF
HE IS MYED GOD.
MY GOD.
>> Wendy: WHAT A GREAT
STORY.
I THINK YOU AND VINCENT
NEED TO GO OUT AND SHOOT
SOME TOGETHER.
>> Pat: IF HE WOULD GIVE
ME A LESSON.
VINCENT, I HAD YOU ON THE
AIR, BUDDY.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS.
I CAN SHOOT MARKSMAN WITH
A RIFLE, BUT WITH A
SHOTGUN, THOSE SKEET --
>> Wendy: IT'S A MOVING
TARGET, RIGHT?
>> Pat: YEAH, BUT IT IS
AN EASY THING.
IT IS NOT JUST ONE BULLET.
IT IS A WHOLE BUNCH OF
LITTLE BULLETS THAT GO
OUT.
YOU JUST NEED TO LEAD THE
THING, AND YOU GO BANG,
AND IT BLOWS UP.
IT IS A GREAT FEELING.
>> Wendy: I'M GOING TO
TRY IT.
IT SOUNDS LIKE FUN.
>> Pat: WHAT'S FUN IS
YOU HAVE TWO STANDS UP
THERE, AND ONE SHOOTS ONE
THAT WAY, AND YOU SHOOT
THAT, AND THE OTHER ONE
COMES AT YOU FROM THE
OTHER SIDE AND HE IS UP
HIGHER.
THAT'S A LOT OF FUN.
AND THEY HAVE SOMETHING
CALLED SPORTING CLASS, AND
ONE MIMICS A RABBIT AND
YOU HAVE TO HIT THAT ONE.
THERE IS A LOT OF STUFF
YOU CAN DO WITH SPORTING
CLAYS.
>> Wendy: TWO OLYMPIC
GOLDS.
WELL-DONE.
>>> WE'VE GOT SOME
E-MAILS.
LET'S SEE.
FOR RONA, "MY LIFE HAS
BEEN AND CONTINUES TO BE
VERY HARD.
I TRY TO SMILE THROUGH THE
PAIN, EVEN THOUGH MY HEART
IS CRYING.
SOMETIMES I GET SCARED
THAT I WILL LOSE MY
SALVATION BECAUSE OF ALL
THAT I HAVE HAD TO ENDURE.
CAN YOU LOSE YOUR
SALVATION ONCE YOU'VE
PRAYED TO ACCEPT THE
LORD?"
>> Pat: WELL, YOUR
QUESTION IS -- I WAS
READING TODAY IN
COLOSSIANS AND PAUL SAID,
IF YOU CONTINUE IN THE
FAITH, YOU KNOW, THE LORD
WILL LOOK AFTER YOU.
YOU JUST CAN'T AP POOSATHISE
AND TURN AGAINST THE LORD.
LOOK, IN THIS LIFE, WE
WILL HAVE PRESSURES.
THAT'S WHAT THE BIBLE
SAYS.
THE WORD PRESSURE IN GREEK
IS FILIPSIS, AND WE WILL
HAVE TRIALS AND PRESSURES.
YOU KNOW THAT SONG, "I
NEVER PROMISED YOU A ROSE
GARDEN," AND THE LORD
NEVER PROMISED US WE'D
HAVE THIS BED OF GOODIES.
WE HAVE THIS CRAZY
TEACHING OUT THERE THAT
WE'RE GOING TO LIVE IN
AMERICA AND WE'RE GOING TO
HAVE IT EASY AND HAVE ALL
OF THESE MATERIAL THINGS.
AND THEN WHEN EVERYTHING
STARTS GOING BAD, WE'RE
GOING TO GET RAPTURED.
NO, IT DOESN'T WORK THAT
WAY.
SO PREPARE FOR SOMETHING.
THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT GIRD
UP THE LOINS OF YOUR MIND.
GET YOURSELF READY AND GET
READY FOR THE FIGHT.
BUT THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE
TRIAL, DOESN'T MEAN YOU'RE
GOING TO LOSE YOUR
SALVATION.
IT IS PROBABLY A WAY OF
TESTING IT.
>> Wendy: THIS VIEWER
SAYS, "I'VE NOTICED OVER
THE YEARS ALL MANNERS OF
DIFFICULTIES SEEM TO COME
UP ON CHRISTIANS, MORE SO
THAN NON-BELIEVERS.
I KNOW WHO THE ENEMY IS,
BUT IT CAN BE TIRING IN
THIS SPIRITUAL BATTLE.
AND ONE CAN GET
DISCOURAGED IN FIGHT,
ESPECIALLY WHEN THE
ANSWERS TO PRAYER ARE VERY
SLOW COMING ORDONE OR DON'T SEEM
TO COME AT ALL.
WE HANG ON.
PLEASE GIVE US SOME
ENCOURAGEMENT, PAT."
>> Pat: IN CHRIST, WE
HAVE OVERCOMING VICTORY.
THE APOSTLE PAUL SAYS, "I
CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH
CHRIST, WHO STRENGTHENS
ME."
THE ENEMY HATES
CHRISTIANS, AND HE IS
GOING TO SEND THINGS AFTER
YOU.
HE HAS A HOST OF DEMON
POWER.
AND THE BIBLE SAYS HE IS
LIKE A ROARING LION,
WALKING AROUND SEEING WHOM
HE CAN DEVOUR.
HE WON'T DEVOUR YOU IF YOU
DO THIS SIMPLE THING: YOU
SPEAK THE WORD.
I BIND YOU, SATAN, AND THE
FORCES OF EVIL.
I BIND YOU AND THE FORCES
OF EVIL IN THE NAME OF
JESUS, AND I COMMAND YOU
TO LEAVE ME ALONE.
THE NAME OF JESUS IS MORE
POWERFUL THAN THE DEVIL.
SO JUST USE IT.
>> Wendy: THAT'S A GOOD
WORD.
HUGH SAYS, "MY DAD HAD A
VERY PROFANE VOCABULARY.
WHENEVER SOMETHING WENT
WRONG, HE WOULD USUALLY
CUSS, AND I INHERITED THIS
TENDENCY.
IT IS AN AUTOMATIC
THOUGHT.
I HATE IT.
I PRAY AGAINST IT, AND ASK
FORGIVENESS WHEN IT
OCCURS.
BUT I FEAR IN LIGHT OF 1
JOHN 3: 9, THAT THIS WILL
AFFECT MY SALVATION."
A LOT OF PEOPLE WORRIED
ABOUT THEIR SALVATION
TODAY.
>> Pat: I THINK, LOOK,
IF YOU START THE DAY IN
PRAYER AND READING THE
BIBLE, SOAK YOURSELF IN
THE WORD OF GOD.
HOW CAN A YOUNG MAN
CLEANSE HIS HEART?
BY TAKING HEED TO THY
WORD.
MEDITATE ON THE WORD OF
GOD.
SO YOU START TODAY, THIS
IS THE DAY THE LORD HAS
MADE AND I WILL REJOICE
AND BE GLAD.
YOU DO THAT, AND ALL OF A
SUDDEN THE DESIRE TO CURSE
LEAVES.
I USED TO USE HORRIBLE
LANGUAGE AS A LITTLE KID.
JUST AWFUL.
THE MINUTE I FOUND THE
LORD, ALL OF THAT STUFF
JUST LEFT.
JESUS WILL CLEAN UP YOUR
SPEECH AND YOUR THOUGHT
PATTERN.
TURN IT OVER TO HIM.
I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY IF
YOU REALLY HAVE COME TO
THE LORD, YOU'VE GOT THIS
PROBLEM.
DID YOU EVER CUSS?
>> Wendy: ONLY WHEN I'M
DRIVING.
I WON'T GO THERE.
>> Pat: AND YOU SAY, GOD
BLESS HIM, HE ALMOST HIT
ME ON THE ROAD?
>> Wendy: EXACTLY.
LIKE YOU SAID, ONCE JESUS
COMES IN, THAT STUFF NEEDS
TO GO.
>> Pat: IF YOU FOCUS ON
THE WORD --
>> Wendy: IF YOU REALLY
WANT TO STOP CUSSING, I
THINK YOU CAN STOP.
>> Pat: SOMEBODY SAID IF
YOU HIT YOUR THUMB WITH A
HAMMER, WHAT DO YOU SAY?
I SAY PRAISE THE LORD.
I DON'T SAY BLANKETY
BLANK.
>> GO AHEAD AND GIVE US
THE NEXT THING.
>> Wendy: STILL AHEAD, A
WOMAN LOSES HER JOB AND
HER PEACE OF MIND.
>> I WALKED THIS HOUSE,
NOT KNOWING -- DO I PAY
THE ELECTRIC BILL OR DO I
PAY THE GAS BILL?
>> Wendy: SEE HOW SHE
FINDS A NEW JOB AND
DOUBLES HER SALARY.
THAT'S COMING UP.
>> Efrem: WELCOME BACK
TO WASHINGTON FOR THIS CBN
NEWSBREAK.
AUSTRALIA'S PRIME MINISTER
IS TAKING A STAND FOR
ISRAEL.
PRIME MINISTER TURNBULL
MET WITH BENJAMIN
NETANYAHU TODAY AND
REITERATED HIS SUPPORT FOR
A TWO-STATE SOLUTION,
CALLING ON ISRAELIS AND
PALESTINIANS TO PURSUE
PEACE.
HE ALSO CRITICIZED RECENT
EFFORTS BY THE UNITED
NATIONS TO UNDER MINE
ISRAEL.
>> MY GOVERNMENT WILL NOT
SUPPORT ONE-SIDED
RESOLUTIONS, CRITICIZING
ISRAEL OF THE KIND
RECENTLY ADOPTED BY THE
SECURITY COUNCIL.
WE DEPLORE THE BOYCOTT
COMPAIGNS WHICH ARE
DESIGNED TO DELEGITIMIZE
THE JEWISH STATE.
>> Efrem: HE SAID
AUSTRALIA IS A COMMITTED
AND CONSISTENT ALL-WEATHER
FRIEND OF ISRAEL.
>>> WELL, DOUG COE, A
SPIRITUAL MENTOR TO MANY,
DIED ON TUESDAY AFTER
SUFFERING A HEART ATTACK
AND A STROKE.
HE WAS A AN ASSOCIATE
DIRECTOR OF.
HE FOCUSED ON BUILDING
RELATIONSHIPS AND HELPING
THOSE IN NEED, INCLUDING
INNER CITY YOUTH,
CONGRESSIONAL AND MILITARY
LEADERS, AND BUSINESS
EXECUTIVES.
HE ALSO ATTENDED HOUSE AND
SENATE PRAYER GROUPS FOR
MORE THAN 50 YEARS.
HE ONCE SAID, "I AM CALLED
SIMPLY TO BE AN INCLUSIVE
AMBASSADOR OF JESUS
CHRIST'S LOVE."

PAT AND WENDY WILL BE BACK
WITH MORE OF "THE 700
CLUB" RIGHT AFTER THIS.
>> Pat: PATTY HAS A
HIGH-PAYING JOB AS A
CONTRACT MANAGER FOR THE
DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE.
TO QUOTE HER, QUOTE, "YOU
JUST DON'T WALK INTO THOSE
POSITIONS."
BUT PATTY DID AFTER SHE
TOOK A RISK THAT TURNED
HER LIFE AROUND.
WATCH THIS.
>> Reporter: IN 2004,
PATTY WAS WORKING FOR A
SOFTWARE FIRM WHEN ONE DAY
SHE LEARNED THEY WERE
RELOCATING.
SHE QUIT HER JOB AND CUT
HER EXPENSES.
>> I WALKED THIS HOUSE AT
NIGHT, NOT KNOWING DO I
PAY THE ELECTRIC BILL OR
DO I PAY THE GAS BILL?
>> Reporter: WHILE SHE
LIVED ON UNEMPLOYMENT
CHECKS AND SAVINGS, SHE
HAD TO DEPEND ON CREDIT
CARDS FOR EMERGENCIES.
BEFORE LONG, SHE HAD
$8,000 OF CREDIT CARD
DEBT.
>> THE FURNACE WENT.
THE HOT WATERHEATER WENT,
AND I WAS JUST BEARING
GETTING EVERYTHING
COVERED.
THE ONLY THING THAT KEPT
ME GOING WAS MY BELIEF IN
GOD, CHRISTIAN TELEVISION,
AND CBN.
>> Reporter: PATTY OFTEN
CONTACTED CBN'S PRAYER
CENTER.
>> I WAS JUST ON MY LAST
LEG, TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
HOW TO GET THROUGH, HOW TO
TAKE THAT NEXT STEP.
WHEN YOU START TO FEEL
DOWN, YOU KNOW, YOU CALL
THE PRAYER LINE.
>> Reporter: AT THE
TIME, PATTY TITHED TO HER
CHURCH ON OCCASION AND
ALSO GAVE TO CBN.
SHE SAYS ONE DAY GOD
CHALLENGED HER TO TITHE
FAITHFULLY AND INCREASE
HER PLEDGE TO CBN.
>> THE VOICE WAS SO CLEAR.
AND, OF COURSE, I'M
WHITE-KNUCKLING, SAYING,
ARE YOU LOOKING AT MY
ACCOUNT?
HOW AM I GOING TO DO THIS?
IT WAS THIS, THIS NEEDS TO
COME FIRST.
THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN ON
THE TAIL END.
THIS NEEDS TO BE THE FIRST
THING.
>> Reporter: PATTY DID
WHAT GOD TOLD HER.
>> EVERYTHING TURNED
AROUND FOR ME.
AND I GOT VERY, VERY BLEF.
BLESSED.
GOD DOESN'T NEED OUR
MONEY.
IT IS HIS ANYWAY.
IT IS ABOUT OBEDIENCE.
>> Reporter: WITHIN A
MATTER OF MONTHS, SHE
LANDED A NEW JOB.
ONE YEAR LATER, IN 2007, A
HUGE DOOR OPENED UP FOR
HER TO BECOME A CONTRACT
MANAGER FOR THE DEPARTMENT
OF DEFENSE.
>> YOU JUST DON'T WALK
INTO THESE POSITIONS LIKE
THAT.
YOU JUST DON'T.
AND I DID.
>> Reporter: AND WITH
OVERSEAS TRAVEL PAY AND
PROMOTIONS, SHE DOUBLED
HER SALARY.
>> I WAS ABLE TO PAY OFF
CREDIT CARDS.
I WAS ABLE TO START
FINANCIALLY BUILDING
AGAIN, YOU KNOW, TO GET
MYSELF SQUARED AWAY.
AND TO START PUTTING
THINGS BACK IN THE BANK.
>> Reporter: NOW PATTY
LOVED THAT SHE COULD GIVE
EVEN MORE, ESPECIALLY TO
CBN.
>> THE OVERSEAS
EVANGELISM, THE
ORPHANAGES, FEEDING
PEOPLE, THE FOOD BANKS, I
COULDN'T DO ALL OF THAT.
BUT IF I GIVE TO CBN, I'M
ABLE TO DO THAT ALL OVER
THE WORLD.
>> Reporter: PAT SEE PATTY SAYS
GIVING CONSISTENTLY
CHANGED HER FINANCES.
>> I KNOW I'M GIVING
SOMETHING OF GREATER GOOD,
AND I KNOW I'M GIVING
SOMETHING FOR THE KINGDOM,
WHICH I AM SO GRATEFUL TO
BE A PART OF.
>> Pat: WHAT AN
AMAZINGED LADY.
IT'S THE TRUTH.
PATTY HAS GOT IT RIGHT.
IF YOU WANT TO HELP PEOPLE
WHO ARE HURTING, IF YOU
WANT TO HELP THE
SUFFERING, THOSE WHO DON'T
HAVE CLEAN DRINKING WATER,
LITTLE ORPHANS WHO DON'T
HAVE FAMILIES, MOTHERS
WITH CHILDREN THAT NEED
HELP -- IF YOU WANT TO
HELP SOMEBODY WHO IS
HURTING, AND WE HELP THEM
ALL OVER THE WORLD, THEN
YOU CAN BE A PARTNER, BE A
PART OF WHAT IS HAPPENING
HERE.
IT'S SO SIMPLE.
IT IS JUST 65 CENTS A DAY.
IF YOU DRINK SOFT
DRINKS -- I DON'T WANT TO
SHOW MY IR IGNORANCE, BUT IT
IS PROBABLY ABOUT $1.50 A
CAN, MAYBE AS MUCH AS TWO
BUCKS A CAN FOR SOME FIZZY
WATER AND SOME CAFFEINE
AND SOME COLA.
THAT'S WHAT YOU PAY FOR
THAT.
IF YOU SMOKE CIGARETTES --
AND I HOPE YOU DON'T --
BUT YOU'RE LOOKING AT AS
MUCH AS $7 A PACK.
THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT 65
CENTS A DAY, BUT WITH
THAT, WE CAN CHANGE THE
WORLD.
THE $20 A MONTH
COMMITMENT, AND YOU BECOME
A "700 CLUB" MEMBER.
SOME PEOPLE SAY I CAN DO A
LOT MORE THAN THAT.
YOU CAN JOIN THE THOUSAND
CLUB, WITH A THOUSAND
DOLLAR PLEDGE OR MORE.
AND THERE IS THE FOUNDER'S
CIRCLE.
WHATEVER.
YOU CAN BE PART OF A
WORLDWIDE MINISTRY THAT IS
REACHING OUT TO THE NEEDY
AROUND THE WORLD.
NOW, WHEN YOU JOIN, I WANT
TO GIVE YOU THIS, TOO.
I WROTE A BOOK A FEW YEARS
AGO CALLED "THE SECRET
KINGDOM."
IT HAS TOUCHED MANY LIVES.
AND IT HAS BEEN -- WE PUT
IT INTO A D.V.D., AND
GORDON ADDED SOMETHING.
AND GORDON ADDED "THE LAW
OF EXPECTATION."
HE TEACHES ABOUT THAT.
IT IS ON A D.V.D.
AND YOU CAN PLAY IT.
YOU'VAND WE'LL GIVE THIS TO YOU
AS OUR GIFT.
PLEASE CALL.
THE NUMBER IS RIGHT ON
YOUR SCREEN:
1-800-700-7000.
>> Wendy: IT IS A
FANTASTIC TEACHING, PAT.
AND GUESS WHAT, COLIN FROM
INDIANA LOVES IT.
SHE WROTE US AND SAID,
"THANK YOU FOR THE "THE
SECRET KINGDOM" AND THE
"THE LAW OF EXPECTATION",
IT WAS SO INSPIRING AND
GAVE ME SO MUCH HOPE."
THANK YOU FOR WRITING IN.
>>> UP NEXT, AN ACTIVE
SENIOR GETS SHUT DON BY DOWN BY
PAIN.
>> THE PAIN WAS GETTING
MORE INTENSE.
I WAS FEELING SO BAD, I
COULDN'T LAY DOWN OR SIT
UP WITHOUT JUST BEING IN
MISERY.
>> Wendy: WATCH THIS
WOMAN GET HEALED ON HER
SOFA AND THEN GET BACK TO
THE GYM.
YES.
>> Pat: WANDA HAS BEEN A
FAITHFUL VIEWER OF "THE
700 CLUB" FOR 35 YEARS.
SO WHEN WANDA NEEDED A
MIRACLE, SHE KNEW WHERE TO
TURN TO GET SOMEBODY TO
PRAY FOR THEM.
>> I NOTICED THE PAIN WAS
GETTING MORE INTENSE.
IT WAS ALL DOWN THE LEFT
SIDE OF MY HEAD AND FACE.
>> Reporter: WANDA
FERGUSON SOON DISCOVERED
SHE HAD SHINGLES.
>> IT WAS SO PAINFUL, AND
I BEGAN TO HAVE RED SPOTS
ON MY NECK AND ON MY HAIR.
I WAS FEELING SO BAD, I
COULDN'T LAY DOWN, I
COULDN'T SIT UP, WITHOUT
JUST BEING IN MISERY.
>> Reporter: WITHIN JUST
THREE DAYS, HER ACTIVE
LIFE CAME TO A COMPLETE
STAND STILL.
>> I COULDN'T DO MUCH OF
ANYTHING.
I COME IN HERE, JUST
TRYING TO GET SOME KIND OF
RELIEF SOMEWHERE.
AND I SAT DOWN ON MY
COUCH.
WHEN I DID, I FLIPPED THE
TELEVISION ON BECAUSE I'VE
BEEN WATCHING "THE 700
CLUB" FOR 35 YEARS.
AND GORDON ROBERTSON AND
TERRY MEEUWSEN WERE ON.
AND JUST IMMEDIATELY AFTER
I TURNED IT ON, HE SAID,
SOMEBODY OUT THERE HAS GOT
SHINGLES.
>> Gordon: YOU'VE GOT
SHINGLES ON THE LEFT SIDE
OF YOUR FACE, AND IT IS
VERY PAINFUL AND GOD IS
HEALING YOU NOW.
>> I NEVER HEARD HIM SAY
THAT BEFORE.
AS SOON AS HE SAID THAT, I
KNEW IT WAS FOR ME.
I SAT UP AND LISTENED.
AND HE SAID, THOSE
BLISTERS ARE GOING AWAY.
>> Gordon: THEY'RE GOING
TO FADE AND YOUR SKIN IS
GOING TO BE NORMAL.
AND WHAT THE DOCTORS SAY
ABOUT NERVE DAMAGE, IT
DOESN'T APPLY TO YOU.
GOD IS RESTORING YOUR
NERVES.
NO MORE PAIN, NO MORE
SUFFERING IN JESUS' NAME.
>> WHEN HE SAID THAT, THE
PAIN LEFT IMMEDIATELY.
IT WAS INSTANT.
THE PAIN LEFT, AND I
JUMPED UP OFF THE COUCH
AND I STARTED PRAISING GOD
AND THANKING JESUS AND
PRAISING THE THE LORD WITH
ALL OF MY HEART.
I KNEW I HAD BEEN HEALED
INSTANTLY.
>> Reporter: A FEW DAYS
LATER, WANDA WAS BACK AT
THE LOCAL REC CENTER, HER
OLD STOMPING GROUND.
>> I WOULD GO TO THE REC
CENTER MONDAY THROUGH
FRIDAY.
I GO AND I WALK THIRS.
FIRST.
I WALK 30 MINUTES.
AND THEN THEY HAVE
STATIONARY BIKES.
AND THEN I LIFT WEIGHTS.
>> Reporter: WANDA LOVES
JESUS AND SHE LOVES TO
SHARE HER STORY WITH
OTHERS.
>> I WOULD TELL ANYBODY
ANYWHERE ANY TIME, IF YOU
ARE REALLY TRUSTING, HE
WILL DO EXACTLY WHAT HE
SAYS.
ISAIAH 53: 5: "BY HIS
STRIPES WE ARE HEALED."
I JUST PRAISE GOD FOR HIS
POWER TO HEAL.
>> Pat: WANDA, GOD BLESS
YOU.
HERE IS ONE THAT CAME IN
ON THE INTERNET RECENTLY.
I WANT TO SPEND A SPECIAL
THANK YOU TO WENDY AND
YOUR MINISTRY.
LAST THURSDAY, I WAS
PREPARING MY CLOTHES FOR
WORK AND THE LORD TOLD ME
TO GO DOWNSTAIRS AND WATCH
YOUR PROGRAM.
I SUFFERED FROM A
RECURRING EAR INFECTION
FOR MONTHS.
NOTHING WOULD HELP.
ON THURSDAY, WENDY SPOKE
DIRECTLY TO THIS
CONDITION.
I BEGAN TO CRY HEAVILY
WHEN SHE PRAYED BECAUSE
GOD SAW THE MIRACLE I
NEEDED AND ANSWERED MY
PRAYER.
AND SINCE THEN, I'VE BEEN
ABLE TO HEAR PERFECTLY."
>> Wendy: WOW, THAT
MAKES ME TEAR UP.
THANK YOU, JESUS.
>>> THIS IS SOMEONE WHO
WROTE INTO YOU, PAT.
"DEAR PAT, OVER A YEAR
AGO, YOU PRAYED FOR THE
SPIRIT OF DEPRESSION TO
LEAVE AND SPOKE ABOUT THE
SYMPTOMS.
AS I WAS SITTING ON MY
SOFA, I PRAYED WITH YOU
AND FELT SOMETHING LIFT.
PRIOR TO THAT PRAYER, ALL
I WANTED TO DO WAS SLEEP
AND DIDN'T WANT TO DO
ANYTHING ELSE.
AFTER YOU PRAYED, I GOT UP
AND WANTED TO CLEAN AND DO
THINGS AROUND THE HOUSE.
PRAISE THE LORD, I AM A
BETTER PERSON NOW BECAUSE
OF JESUS.
THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU AND
"THE 700 CLUB" DO FOR THE
LORD."
THAT'S FROM ANGELA.
>> Pat: ISN'T THAT
GREAT.
WE'RE GOING TO PRAY FOR
YOU RIGHT NOW, FOLKS.
THERE IS NOTHING
IMPOSSIBLE WITH GOD.
WE'RE GOING TO JOIN HANDS
AND WE'RE GOING TO BELIEVE
GOD WITH YOU.
FATHER, WE THANK YOU FOR
THESE ANSWERS TO PRAYER.
AND WE KNOW THAT IN JESUS
WE HAVE EVERYTHING.
IN HIM IS THE FULLNESS OF
THE GOD HEAD.
AND, LORD, IN HIM WE ARE
IN YOU, IN THE FATHER AND
IN THE SON.
AND, LORD, IN THAT
CONDITION, AS A PART OF
JESUS, WE REACH OUT TO
THIS AUDIENCE.
LORD, RIGHT NOW, THERE IS
A MAN WHO HAS A BOWEL
BLOCKAGE.
YOU ARE REALLY SUFFERING.
AND IT HAS BEEN THERE FOR
SOME TIME.
THEY'RE EVEN TALKING ABOUT
SOME KIND OF SURGICAL
PROCEDURE TO GET YOU
RIGHT.
KNOW THAT GOD IS GOING TO
STEP IN AND AT THIS MOMENT
THAT BLOCKAGE IS CLEARED
UP.
>> Wendy: MANY PEOPLE,
YOU SAW THE STORY WE RAN
EARLIER ABOUT ADDICTIONS,
AND YOU'RE CRYING OUT TO
THE LORD YOU WANT TO BE
FREE.
THE LORD IS HEARING YOU,
AND JESUS IS THE ANSWER.
JUST RECEIVE IT.
GOD IS GOING TO HELP YOU,
AND JUST RECEIVE YOUR
HEALING IN YOUR FREEDOM
THAT HE IS BRINGING TO YOU
IN JESUS' NAME.
>> Pat: YOU HAVE
SOMETHING AND IT'S ALMOST
LIKE DIPHTHERIA.
YOUR THROAT IS CLOSING UP
AND YOU'RE HAVING AN AWFUL
TIME SWALLOWING.
YOU CRIED OUT TO GOD, AND
GOD WHO'S HEARD YOUR
PRAYER.
IN THE NAME OF JESUS, BE
HEALED.
AND MAY BE ANOINTING OF
THE SPIRIT TOUCH EVERYONE
IN THIS AUDIENCE.
AMEN.
>> Wendy: THERE ARE MANY
PEOPLE SUFFERING FROM
MIGRAINE HEADACHES RIGHT
NOW.
AND THE LORD IS TOUCHING
YOU.
SOME OF IT IS DEMONIC, AND
I DEMAND THAT SPIRIT OF
INFIRMITY TO LEAVE RIGHT
NOW.
WE COMMAND IT TO LEAVE IN
JESUS' NAME.
YOU ARE HEALED.
AMEN.
>> Pat: WE LEAVE YOU
WITH TODAY'S POWER MINUTE
FROM PSALM 145: "YOU OPEN
YOUR HAND AND SATISFY THE
DESIRE OF EVERY LIVING
THING."
TOMORROW, "DUCK DYNASTY'S"
SADIE ROBERTSON JOINS US
LIVE.
SO FOR WENDY AND ALL OF
US, THIS IS PAT ROBERTSON.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
BEING WITH US.
WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING
YOU AGAIN TOMORROW.
FROM ALL OF US HERE AT
CBN, GOOD-BYE AND GOD
BLESS YOU.
