NOVEMBER 3. BEN KENNEDY, CBN
NEWS.
>>> WITH US NOW FROM A
WASHINGTON BUREAU IS A CBN NEWS
CHIEF POLITICAL ANALYST DAVID
BRODY.
HOW DO YOU RATE THE PRESIDENT'S
SPEECH LAST NIGHT?
>> Reporter: WELL, I THINK THE
MAP IS A BIT ALL OVER THE
PLACE.
FROM A CONTENT PERSPECTIVE IT
WAS IN A BALESTER COUPLE OF
DISCLAIMERS.
I THOUGHT IT WAS TOO LONG OF A
SPEECH.
HE GETS A "D" FOR THE LENGTH,
ABOUT 70 MINUTES OR SO  AND I
THOUGHT HE WAS A BIT FLAT SO I
GIVE HIM A "C" ON PRESENTATION.
I THINK THE REASON IS YOU HAD
IT AT THE WHITE HOUSE SO IT'S
VERY CEREMONIAL, VERY
PRESTIGIOUS, VERY GRAVITAS
SURROUNDING.
YET YOU HAVE FOLKS IN THE CROWD
WHO WANTED TO MAKE IT A
M.A.G.A.
RALLY SO HE WAS KIND OF CAUGHT
BETWEEN A M.A.G.A
RALLY AND BEING AT THE WHITE
HOUSE AND TRYING TO SPLIT THE
DIFFERENCE.
I DON'T THINK IT WORKED.
FROM A CONTENT PERSPECTIVE, I
THOUGHT HE DID A VERY GOOD JOB.
I THINK IT'S A WINNING MESSAGE
IN 2020 AS IT RELATES TO LAW
AND ORDER AND PUBLIC SAFETY AND
BIDEN IS REALLY BAD FOR
AMERICA, SPECIFICALLY HIS
POLICIES THAT HE PROMOTES WITH
THE FAR LEFT.
CONTENT WISE IF YOU CAN GET
THROUGH THIS DISCLAIMERS AT
THAT OVERALL IT WAS PRETTY GOOD.
>> SEEMS LIKE HE IS RUNNING ON
HIS RECORD.
THERE'S A LOT OF ANTICIPATION
IT WOULD BE A LOT OF BIDEN
BASHING.
HE DID THAT BUT THAT WASN'T THE
BULK OF IT.
THE BULK OF IT WAS TALKING
ABOUT HIS RECORD.
>> Reporter: THAT'S A REALLY
GOOD POINT. THAT WAS SOMETHING
THAT CAUGHT MY EYE TOO.
WE HAVE HEARD A LOT ESPECIALLY
FROM MIKE PENCE GOES AROUND
SAYING PROMISES MADE, PROMISES
KEPT.
THAT'S A BIG LINE IN MIKE PENCE
I.T.
IS IN THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL OR THE
VIRTUAL CAMPAIGN TRAIL.
THAT'S WHAT WE SAW FROM THE
PRESIDENT THURSDAY NIGHT.
I THOUGHT THAT WAS AS A PRETTY
EFFECTIVE.
HE WENT DOWN THE LITANY, NOT
THAT HE WOULD SAY THIS WAY BUT
A LOT OF OTHER SANDWICHES YOU
MIGHT NOT LIKE ME NECESSARILY,
BUT I DO DELIVER AND
EVANGELICALS CAN ATTEST TO THAT
FOR SURE.
I THOUGHT IT WAS PRETTY
EFFECTIVE.
I ALSO WILL SAY BEYOND JUST THE
BIDEN BASHING WE ACTUALLY HAD A
FORWARD-LOOKING AGENDA. 10
MILLION NEW JOBS HE PLANS TO
CREATE ANTI-VACCINE BY THE END
OF THE YEAR AND HE WENT DOWN A
LOT OF OTHER ISSUES.
IT WAS IN JUST A BIDEN BASH UPON
.
>> IS THIS THE END OF
CONVENTIONS?
IT SEEMS LIKE BOTH PARTIES, THE
CONVENTION REALLY DIDN'T HAPPEN.
A LOT OF THAT HAS TO DO WITH
THE VIRUS BUT ALL OF THAT HAS
TO DO WITH THE VIRUS.
OUR CONVENTIONS NOW OVER?
>> Reporter: NO, I DON'T THE
CONVENTIONS ARE OVER.
I THINK THIS IS A BLIP.
I THINK CONVENTIONS ARE
IMPORTANT.
THEY ARE PROBABLY NOT AS
IMPORTANT THIS YEAR BUT
CONVENTIONS, AS YOU KNOW HAVE
TO DO WITH ENERGY AND
MOTIVATION.
NOT JUST AROUND THE COUNTRY BUT
IN THE HALLS SPECIFICALLY IN
OTHER WORDS A PLACE TO
STRATEGIZE AND GET PEOPLE
TOGETHER AND CAUCUS AND MEET
AND GET A GAME PLAN.
IT'S A LITTLE BIT HARDER TO DO
IT VIRTUALLY.
THERE IS SOME VALUE TO IT JUST
FROM AN BOOTS ON THE GROUND
PERSPECTIVE.
I DON'T THINK SO.
IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO FIND
OUT WHAT THE BALANCE FROM THIS
CONVENTION WILL BE.
JOE BIDEN DID NOT GET ANY AND
HILLARY CLINTON GOT A PLUS FOR
BOUNDS IN 2016.
DONALD TRUMP ALSO GOT A FOUR
POINT BOUNCE.
MY POLITICAL SENSE SENSES THIS
RACE IS ACTUALLY GETTING
CLOSER.
I KNOW WE HAVE SEEN A LOT OF
THE POLLS OUT THERE.
NOT ONLY DO I BELIEVE WE HAVE
REPORTED ON THIS THURSDAY
UNDERLYING SECRET TRUMP BOAT
OUT THERE, BEYOND ALL OF THAT,
YOU GET THE SENSE THAT THE
REPUBLICANS AND TRUMP THEY ARE
REALLY COALESCIG AROUND THE
MESSAGE OF LAW AND ORDER.
I HAD TO TELL YOU THAT IF RIOTS
IN THE STREETS CONTINUE IN THE
CORONAVIRUS CASES DECREASE,
THERE IS THE PATH, I MEAN, JUST
FROM A POLITICAL STANDPOINT AND
FROM EVENT STANDPOINT THAT
COVER THE TRICK FOR DONALD
TRUMP IN 2020.
>> DO YOU READ ANYTHING INTO
THE RATINGS?
LOOKS LIKE THE RATINGS FOR THE
DEMOCRATS WEREN'T THAT GREAT.
WE DON'T HAVE THE FINAL RATINGS
YET FOR LAST NIGHT BUT IT LOOKS
LIKE THE REPUBLICANS OUTWEIGH
THE DEMOCRATS.
IS THERE ANYTHING TO THAT?
>> THE DEMOCRATS WERE PRETTY
STILTED QUITE FRANKLY IN THEIR
PRESENTATION.
EVA LONGORIA AND JULIE WILL
LOUISE DREYFUS BUT IT JUST FELT
VERY, IT WAS ON TAPE.
MOST OF IT WAS.
IT WAS VERY SUBDUED.
RELATIVELY BORING.
POLITICS TO BEGIN WITH IS NOT
NECESSARILY SOMETHING YOU WILL
SAY, LET'S ALL GATHER AROUND,
THAT WE SHOULD GATHER AROUND
THE TELEVISION SET.
IT REALLY WASN'T PRESENTED
WELL.
THIS WEEK WAS DIFFRENT.
I WILL BE CURIOUS TO SEE WHAT
THE RATINGS ARE, THE FINAL
RATINGS.
I KNOW THE RATINGS WENT OFF TO
A GREAT START ON DAY ONE BUT
AFTER LAST NIGHT THURSDAY NIGHT
WITH THE FIREWORKS AND THE
FLAGS, I NEED TO BUY STOCK IN
FLAGS, AMERICAN FLAGS.
HOW MANY AMERICAN FLAGS AM I
GOING TO SEE AT THE REPUBLICAN
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
I STILL THINK THEY'RE PICKING
UP THE FIREWORKS THIS MORNING
FROM THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT.
>> WE WILL BE LOOKING AT RIOTS
AND VIRUS CASES AND IF THAT'S
THE PATH FORWARD, THAT'S THE
PATH FORWARD.
THANK YOU.
>>> STILL AHEAD.
IN A COMA AND ON A VENTILATOR.
THIS MAN WAS DYING FROM COVID.
HIS DOCTORS HAD NO CLUE HOW TO
TREAT HIM.
WHAT DID HE DO INSTEAD?
BUT FIRST, CHOKEHOLDS, KNEES ON
NEXT THE NO KNOCK WARRANTS.
HOW CAN WE ELIMINATE THESE
DEADLY TACTICS?
THAT'S THE QUESTION COMING UP.
>>> D FUNDING THE POLICE.
THIS ISSUE DOMINATED THE
HEADLINES ON THE RACIAL UNREST
UNDERWAY IN AMERICA AND
DIVERTED ATTENTION AWAY FROM
DEADLY LAW ENFORCEMENT TACTICS
THAT SHOULD BE ELIMINATED
ALTOGETHER.
CB NATIONAL SECURITY
CORRESPONDENT ERIC PHILIPS HAS
THE STORY.
>> Reporter: WE KNOW IT'S
IMPORTANT FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT
TO HAVE AN ADVANTAGE WHEN IT
COMES TO FIGHTING CRIME.
AS RECENT EVENTS PROVE,
HOWEVER, SOME PRACTICES ARE
QUESTIONABLE AT BEST, ILLEGAL
AND POTENTIALLY DEADLY AT
WORST.
>> I CALL EVERYBODY MY BABY.
YOU ARE LIKE MY SON AND THAT'S
HOW THE ONLY WAY I CAN LOOK AT
THE COMMUNITY AS IF WE ARE
BLOOD RELATED.
AND SO THAT MEANS THEY TRUST ME
SO THEY TRUST ME TO HEAR WHAT
IT IS THEY ARE SAYING.
>> Reporter: OFFICER CAROL
ADAMS HAS BEEN PATROLLING THE
STREETS OF RICHMOND, VIRGINIA
FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARS.
SHE WAS PERSONALLY AND
PROFESSIONALLY HORRIFIED BY THE
GEORGE FLOYD KILLING.
>> ME, AS A MOTHER, YES,
OUTRAGE AT WHAT I SAW.
YOU KNOW, REALLY, REALLY
FRUSTRATED BECAUSE WE WORK
REALLY, REALLY HARD TO BE BUILT
RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE
COMMUNITY AND ALL IT TAKES IS
ONE INCIDENT LIKE THAT AND SO
MANY OTHERS FOR EVERYBODY TO
LUMP US TOGETHER.
>> Reporter: IT BEGAN WITH A
VIDEO DIFFICULT TO WATCH YET
UNFORGETTABLE ONCE SEEN.
>> MAMA!
>> Reporter: A POLICE TACTICAL
HOLD LEGAL AT THE TIME IN
MINNEAPOLIS THAT LED TO GEORGE
FLOYD'S DEATH.
>> PUTTING HIS KNEE ON HIS NECK
AND SITTING THERE IN A
RELATIVELY COMPOSITION TELLS
YOU HE SHOULD'VE GOTTEN OFF OF
HIM.
>> Reporter: MIKE JONES IS A
RETIRED POLICE CHIEF AND LAW
ENFORCEMENT CONSULTED WITH MORE
THAN 40 YEARS EXPERIENCE.
HE BELIEVES THE ARRESTING
OFFICER REACHES A POINT OF
CARETAKER RATHER THAN ENFORCER.
>> THE MINUTE A PERSON IS
HANDCUFFED, HE BECOMES YOUR
PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY AS A
POLICE OFFICER.
YOU HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF THAT
PERSON.
>> Reporter: THE SAME PICTURES
AND CHILLING WORDS THAT
HAPPENED SIX YEARS EARLIER AS A
BLACK MAN WAS HELD IN A CHOKE
HOLD.
ERIC GARNER WAS ARRESTED IN NEW
YORK CITY FOR ILLEGALLY SELLING
CIGARETTES AND HE DIED AFTER A
OFFICERS USE THE TACTIC ALREADY
BANNED BY THEIR DEPARTMENT.
REVEREND MARKEL HUTCHINS IS A
COMMUNITY ACTIVIST BASED IN
ATLANTA, GEORGIA.
>> I DO PERSONAL THING
CHOKEHOLDS SHOULD BE OUTLAWED
AND WE SHOULD NEVER GIVE A LAW
ENFORCEMENT PROFESSIONAL
PUTTING THE NEON SOMEONE'S
NECK.
>> Reporter: NO KNOCK WARRANTS.
WE HAVE SEEN HOW THEY CAN GO
WRONG.
ESPECIALLY LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY
WHEN POLICE KICKED DOWN THE
DOOR OF BREONNA TAYLOR'S
APARTMENT BELIEVING IT WAS AN
ILLEGAL BREAK AND BECAUSE OF NO
VERBAL IDENTIFICATION FROM
OFFICERS, HER BOYFRIEND FIRED
HIS LEGALLY REGISTERED GUN.
POLICE RESPONDED WITH 20 ROUNDS
KILLING 26-YEAR-OLD TAYLOR.
IN 2006, ATLANTA POLICE RUSHED
INTO THE HOUSE OF 92-YEAR-OLD
KATHRYN JOHNSTON AND SHOT HER
TO DEATH AFTER SHE ALSO FIRED
HER LEGALLY REGISTERED GUN IN
FEAR. TURNS OUT POLICE HAD THE
WRONG HOUSE.
>> WHAT ULTIMATELY KILLED
CATHERINE JOHNSTON WAS A LIE
THAT WAS TOLD TO OBTAIN THE NO
KNOCK WARRANT, SO I THINK THE
KEY IS MAKING SURE THAT THERE
ARE LEGISLATIVE PARAMETERS AND
REAL RESTRICTIONS AND
REQUIREMENTS PLACED ON THEIR
USAGE.
>> Reporter: ADAMS BELIEVES A
BIG PART LIES IN THE NATIONAL
STANDARDS LIKE THOSE
RECOMMENDED BY THE PRESIDENT'S
TASK FORCE ON 21ST-CENTURY
POLICING.
CREATED AFTER THE POLICE
SHOOTING OF MICHAEL BROWN AND
FERGUSON MISSOURI.
THE 2014 REPORT FOCUSED ON
AREAS SUCH AS BUILDING TRUST AND
LEGITIMACY, POLICY AND
OVERSIGHT, COMMUNITY POLICING,
TRAINING AND EDUCATION, AND
OFFICERS WELLNESS AND SAFETY.
>> EVERY DEPARTMENT SHOULD BE
REGULATED.
>> Reporter: CMS REGLAN POLICY
IS ONE THING, REVEALING THE
HEART IS ANOTHER.
>> IF AN OFFICER REALLY SEES
BOTH CONSCIOUSLY AND
SUBCONSCIOUSLY THE HUMANITY OF
THE PERSON THEY ARE POLICING,
THEY SIMPLY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO
PUT THEM IN A CHOKE HOLD.
>> IT IS OFTEN TAKING AN
INVESTMENT IN THE TYPE OF
PERSON THAT WE BRING INTO
POLICE WORK.
>> Reporter: DOCTOR PATRICK
OLIVER AGREES, THE DIRECTOR OF
THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE PROGRAM AT
CEDARVILLE UNIVERSITY CHRISTIAN
COLLEGE IN OHIO.
HE SAYS OFFICERS MUST BE
SELECTED CAREFULLY.
>> THIS JOB IS ONLY FOR PEOPLE
WHO ARE LOVING TRUTH, WHO WILL
JUDGE RIGHTLY AND DO WHAT IS
RIGHT.
>> Reporter: THOSE I SPOKE TO
SAY BETTER TRAINING AND MORE
CHECKS AND BALANCES WILL HELP
LESSEN THESE DEADLY INCIDENTS
THAT WE'VE SEEN.
THEY ALSO SAY THE STANDARD HAS
TO BE SET AND ENFORCED FROM THE
TOP DOWN.
ERIC PHILIPS, CBN NEWS.
>>> THIS ISN'T A CALL TO DEFUND
THE POLICE THIS IS A CALL TO
FUND THE POLICE AND FIND THE
TRAINING NECESSARY TO MAKE SURE
THAT THE JUDGMENT CALLS THAT
THEY ARE MAKING ON THE STREETS
ARE CORRECT.
HOW MANY DIFFERENT SCENARIOS DO
THEY GO THROUGH AND PRACTICE
AND PRACTICE AND PRACTICE SO
THAT WHEN THE HEAT OF THE
MOMENT THEY ARE NOT LOSING
THEIR COOL.
THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING,
AND THEY ARE MAKING ACCURATE
DECISIONS BASED ON WHAT THEY
HAD BEEN TRAINED TO DO.
THIS IS GOING TO BE DIFFICULT
TO DO.
IT'S NOT GOING TO BE EASY.
I THINK BOTH THE WAR ON DRUGS
AND THE WAR ON TERROR HAVE
ABSOLUTELY RAMPS UP OUR POLICE,
AND THEY HAVE A LOT OF MILITARY
GRADE EQUIPMENT, WHICH FOR A
CIVILIAN POPULATION, LITERALLY
DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.
CAN WE START WITH BANNING
CHOKEHOLDS LEXI I THINK THAT
WOULD BE A GREAT START.
CAN WE BAN NO KNOCK WARRANTS SO
THAT PEOPLE KNOW IT'S POLICE AT
THE DOOR AND THEY ARE NOT
BRINGING THE WEAPONS TO BEAR
THINKING IT SOME INVASION AND
THEIR LIVES ARE AT RISK?
LET'S GET ACCURATE HONOR SEARCH
WARRANTS SO THAT WE ARE NOT
DOING THIS KIND OF THING.
WE ARE NOT MAKING THESE KINDS
OF MISTAKES BUT MOST OF ALL, DO
WE HAVE THE TRAINING NECESSARY
FOR OUR POLICE?
DO THEY HAVE THE EXPERIENCE
THAT'S NEEDED?
NO ONE IN AMERICA SHOULD EVER
DIE IN POLICE CUSTODY. LET'S
MAKE SURE WE CAN DO THAT, WE
CAN HAVE A NATION WITH LIBERTY
AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.
>>> UP NEXT.
ON LIFE-SUPPORT AND ON DIALYSIS
. THIS MAN'S BODY WAS SHUTTING
DOWN.
DOCTOR SAID HE WOULD NEVER MAKE
IT, SO HOW DID HE SURVIVE TO
SELL BUT HIS 25th ANNIVERSARY?
YOU HAVE TO SEE IT TO BELIEVE
IT.
COMING UP.
>>> DAVID HENRY WAS AS GOOD AS
DEAD ON LIFE-SUPPORT, DIALYSIS
AND HIS BODY HAD COMPLETELY
SHUT DOWN.
DOCTORS SAID HE WAS PAST THE
POINT OF NO RETURN.
HOW DID HIS FAMILY CHOOSE TO
PUT FAITH OVER FEAR?
TAKE A LOOK.
>> IT HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE.
>> YOU CAN GET IN THE RANGE OF
100,000.
>> MORE LETHAL THAN THE
SEASONAL FLU.
>> I HAD TO LEAVE AND SAY
GOODBYE TO HIM.
>> WE ARE ASKING EVERYONE TO
WORK AT HOME AS POSSIBLE,
POSTPONE UNNECESSARY TRAVEL.
>> THE REST OF AMERICANS IS
STILL VERY LOW.
>> ONE SHIFT I PRONOUNCED SIX
PEOPLE DEAD.
>> JUST KISSED HIM ON THE
FOREHEAD AND SAID I WILL SEE
YOU SOON.
>> Reporter: BY LATE MARCH THE
NEW GLOBAL BATTLE AGAINST COVID-
19 HAD COST THOUSANDS THEIR
LIVES.
MICHELLE HENRY FEARED HER
HUSBAND DAVID WOULD BE AMONG
THEM. OUR 25th ANNIVERSARY WE
WERE SO EXCITED ABOUT AND HAD
IT PLANNED AND IT WAS JUST A
MONTH AWAY, SAID MICHELE, AND I
WAS AFRAID HE WOULDN'T BE HERE.
>> Reporter: DAVID WAS ONE OF
THE FIRST 10 COVID-19 PATIENTS
AT MARION GENERAL HOSPITAL IN
INDIANA.
DOCTORS QUICKLY PUT HIM INTO A
MEDICALLY INDUCED COMA AND ON A
VENTILATOR.
>> WHAT WAS HUMBLING WAS THE
FACT WE HAD NO CLUE ABOUT HOW
TO TREAT IT AT THAT TIME.
A LOT OF FEAR AND A LOT OF
UNKNOWN.
>> Reporter: MICHELLE, PASTOR
REMEMBERS TRYING TO CONSOLE
THEIR 11 CHILDREN.
>> THIS IS PART OF THE TREATMENT
, AND WE'RE JUST GOING TO
CONTINUE PRAYING AND TRUSTING
AND GOD IS GOOD.
GOD IS STILL GOOD.
>> I WANTED HIM TO KNOW THAT
I'M GOING TO PRAY WITH HIM AND
EVEN IF HE IS NOT ABLE TO PRAY,
I'M STILL GOING TO PRAY WITH
HIM.
FOR PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF WHO
BELIEVE, IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT
TO SAY, LOOK, I KNOW YOU CAN'T
BE WITH YOUR FAMILY.
I AM YOUR FAMILY.
>> Reporter: DAVID WAS LATER
TRANSFERRED TO LUTHERAN
HOSPITAL, WHERE HE ONLY GOT
WORSE.
>> THEY CALLED ME LATER THAT
NIGHT AND THEY SAID, YOU NEED
TO CONSIDER GIVING US
AUTHORIZATION FOR A DO NOT
RESUSCITATE ORDER.
GOD, I NEED YOU.
I NEED YOU NOW MORE THAN EVER
AND DAVID NEEDS YOU, AND I
CAN'T BE THERE WITH HIM AND IF
HE GOES, AND I DON'T GET TO BE
THERE WITH HIM, I JUST CAN'T
IMAGINE THAT.
BUT I NEED TO TRUST YOU.
I KNOW THAT YOU'VE GOT US.
>> Reporter: AS DAVID REMAINED
IN CRITICAL CONDITION, THE
COMMUNITY RESPONDED WITH
OVERWHELMING PRAYER AND
SUPPORT.
>> WHEN DAVID WAS FIRST
ADMITTED TO THE HOSPITAL, HE
PUT DOWN ON HIS FACEBOOK STATUS
, PLEASE PRAY FOR MY FAMILY AND
I AS I'VE BEEN ADMITTED TO THE
HOSPITAL. AND THEN HE PUT,
CHOOSING TO HAVE FAITH OVER
FEAR.
AS THIS WENT ON, PEOPLE HAD
GRABBED ONTO THAT PHRASE.
>> Reporter: STILL, DAVID
CONTINUED TO DECLINE.
>> HE IS ON LIFE-SUPPORT, HE'S
ON DIALYSIS, HE IS ON A MACHINE
TO EXCHANGE OXYGEN.
ESSENTIALLY A COMPLETE BODY
SHUT DOWN WHERE YOU JUST DON'T
COME BACK FROM.
>> I CALLED MY KIDS TO THE
STAIRS AND I SAID, THE DOCTORS
HAVE TOLD ME THAT THEY'VE DONE
EVERYTHING THEY CAN AND HE'S
NOT GETTING BETTER, AND WE HAVE
TWO EXCEPT THAT HE IS NOT GOING
TO MAKE IT.
ONE OF MY SONS THROUGH HIS OWN
TEARS HE SAID, IT'S GOING TO BE
OKAY.
GOD'S GOT THIS.
HE'S UP TO SOMETHING.
>> Reporter: AS THE DAYS
PASSED, DAVID HELD ON AND
SLOWLY SIGNS OF HOPE APPEARED
AS DAVID LUNGS AND VITAL SIGNS
BEGAN TO APPROVE.
>> GOD WAS ANSWERING PRAYERS,
VERY SPECIFIC PRAYERS, AND SO
THOSE LITTLE THINGS ARE REALLY
WHAT GAVE ME THE MOST HOPE.
>> Reporter: DAVID HAD BEEN IN
A COMA FOR OVER TWO WEEKS WHEN
UNABLE 12, EASTER SUNDAY,
MICHELLE GOT A CALL.
>> I PICKED UP THE PHONE AND I
LOST IT. OF COURSE, THE KIDS
ALL THOUGHT THE WORST BECAUSE
I'M CRYING AND THEY KNOW THE
HOSPITAL IS THE ONLY REASON I
ANSWERED THE PHONE.
AND I JUST SAID, DAD IS AWAKE.
HE'S AWAKE.
>> OVER ME WAS A NURSE AND SHE
SAID YOU WERE AT LUTHERAN
HOSPITAL IN FORT WAYNE.
DO YOU REMEMBER YOUR NAME?
MY NAME IS DAVID HENDRY AND I'M
A CHILD OF THE ONE TRUE GOD.
>> FROM THAT MOMENT ON I JUST
KNEW THAT GOD WAS REALLY GOING
TO DO IT.
I KNEW THAT HE WAS COMING HOME.
>> Reporter: DAVID SPENT THE
NEXT FEW WEEKS SLOWLY REGAINING
STRENGTH AND FUNCTION AND
ATTENDING REHAB.
THEN ON MAY 6th, FORTY DAYS
AFTER BEING HOSPITALIZED, DAVID
TESTED NEGATIVE FOR THE COVID
VIRUS AND WAS FINALLY ABLE TO
GO HOME.
>> TO GET THAT HUG AND TO SEE
THEM AND KNOW THAT GOD HAD BEEN
FAITHFUL TO THEM THROUGH MY
STRUGGLES.
>> I JUST GLANCED AT MRS. HENRY
WHO GLANCED AT ME AND WE JUST
NODDED AT EACH OTHER.
BECAUSE THE VICTORY WAS DAVID'S
AND GOD'S.
>> Reporter: NOT ONLY WITH
DAVID AND MICHELLE ABLE TO
ENJOY THE 25th ANNIVERSARY,
DAVID WAS THERE TO WALK HIS
DAUGHTER DOWN THE AISLE.
THE HENRY'S BELIEVE IT WAS ALL
POSSIBLE THROUGH EXPERT CARE,
PRAYER, AND A LOVING, POWERFUL
GOD.
>> HE NEVER LEFT US.
EVEN IF WE HAD LOST DAVID, I
KNOW FOR A FACT GOD WOULD NEVER
HAVE LEFT JUST AND I WILL NEVER
BE THE SAME.
>> THERE IS NO WAY TO SAY
ANYTHING OTHER THAN GOD STEPPED
IN AND INTERVENED ON OUR BEHALF.
>> WOW.
AMEN TO THAT.
GOD IS WITH YOU.
HE IS NEVER GOING TO LEAVE YOU.
HE IS NEVER GOING TO FORSAKE
YOU.
HE IS RIGHT THERE WITH YOU EVEN
IN YOUR SUFFERING.
GOD IS GOOD.
>>> WE'VE GOT OTHER MIRACLES.
HERE IS CONNIE FROM SARASOTA
FLORIDA WHO HAD AN IRRITATING
LUMP DEVELOP BEHIND HER EAR.
A DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY
RECOMMENDED SURGERY THEN ONE
DAY SHE WAS WATCHING THE 700
CLUB AND TERRY SAID, SOMEONE
HAS A TUMOR BEHIND HER RIGHT EAR
AND IT'S INSIDE OF YOUR HEAD
BLOCKING YOUR HEARING.
IT WAS A BAD PROGNOSIS FOR YOU
BUT NOT ANYMORE.
JESUS HAS HEALED YOU. AS
QUICKLY AS IT CAME IT'S GOING
TO MELT AWAY.
CONNIE KNEW THE WORD OF
KNOWLEDGE WAS FOR HER. WITHIN
THREE DAYS, THE LUMP WAS
COMPLETELY GONE.
>> WE'VE GOT ANOTHER FROM
JANICE OF MIAMI, FLORIDA.
SHE SUFFERED FROM HAMMER TOES
FOR YEARS AND WHILE WATCHING
THE 700 CLUB SHE WAS SURPRISED
WHEN GORDON MENTIONED HER
SPECIFIC CONDITION.
HE SAID THERE'S SOMEONE WHO HAS
HAMMER TOES AND I CAN RESTORE
AND RENEW YOUR YOUTH GIVING
LIFE AND ENERGY.
SO IN JESUS' NAME RECEIVED THE
BREATH OF LIFE OVER YOU RIGHT
NOW.
THAT TOLL BE RESTORED IN JESUS'
NAME.
JANICE BELIEVED AND LOOKED AT
HER FEET AND HER TOES ON CURLED
AND THE PAIN, SHE HASN'T HAD
ANY PAIN OR PROBLEMS SINCE.
>> WOW.
THAT IS A MIRACLE.
DOCTORS WILL TELL YOU THAT
NEVER HAPPENS.
TUMORS JUST DON'T MELT AWAY.
HAMMER TOES JUST DON'T EXTEND.
BUT, IN HEAVEN THEY DO AND WE
ARE AUTHORIZED TO PRAY THAT
GOD'S WILL WILL BE DONE ON
EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN.
DOES ANYBODY HAVE A HAMMERTOE?
DOES ANYBODY HAVE A TUMOR?
NO.
DOES ANYBODY HAVE CANCER?
NO.
DOES ANYBODY HAVE COVID?
NO.
BE JUST LIKE DAVID IN THAT STORY
WHEN HE CAME TO CONSCIOUSNESS
AND ASKED, WHO ARE YOU?
I'M A CHILD OF THE LIVING GOD.
THAT'S WHO I AM.

ASHLEY AND I ARE GOING TO PRAY.
WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO IS IN AN
ACT OF FAITH, COULD YOU PLEASE

AGREE TOUCHING ANYTHING, IT
SHALL BE DONE FOR THEM BY OUR
FATHER IN HEAVEN.

PICKED P FROM HER GRANDMOTHER.
ONE DAY SHE RAN INTO A SNAG.
SHE WAS RUNNING OUT OF YARN.

YARN I LIKE TO MAKE BLANKETS
WITH IS MORE EXPENSIVE.
>> Reporter: SOPHIE'S MOM

>>> UP NEXT.
LOSING THEIR RELIGION.
WHAT IS IT ABOUT COLLEGE THAT
STRIPS SO MANY STUDENTS OF
THEIR FAITH?
HOW CAN THEY LEARN TO STAND BY
THEIR BELIEFS?
ENTREPRENEUR AND AUTHOR SCOTT
SHAY HAS THE ANSWERS RIGHT
AFTER THIS.
>>> IT'S PERFECTLY RATIONAL TO
BELIEVE IN GOD SO WHY'S THE NEW
ATHEIST MOVEMENT HAVING SUCH A
PROFOUND INFLUENCE ON STUDENTS
IN COLLEGE?
THAT'S A QUESTION SCOTT SHAY
ASKED AND HE DECIDED TO FIND
THE ANSWER.
TAKE A LOOK.
>> Reporter: SCOTT SHAY IS THE
SON OF A HOLOCAUST SURVIVOR AND
ALSO A SUCCESSFUL ENTREPRENEUR,
AUTHOR AND PRACTICING TO. ONE
OF THE GROUPS HE WANTS TO HELP
HIS COLLEGE AND STUDENTS WERE
TARGETED EIGHT YEARS CM IS THE
ONLY RATIONAL AND SCIENTIFIC
CONCLUSION.
IN HIS BOOK "IN FAITH" SCOTT
OFFERS ANSWERS FOR THOSE
QUESTIONING RELIGION AND
ATHEISM.
PLEASE WELCOME TO THE 700 CLUB,
SCOTT SHAY.
LET'S KICK IT OFF WITH THIS NEW
ATHEIST MOVEMENT.
I CALL IT EVANGELICAL ATHEISTS.
THEY SEEM TO WANT TO SPREAD
ATHEISM.
WHY?
>> THEY ARE NOT ONLY AGGRESSIVE
ARE PRETTY SUCCESSFUL AND BEING
VERY SUCCESSFUL ON COLLEGE
CAMPUSES WHERE STUDENTS ARRIVE
WHO, IN MANY CASES, HAVE HAD
GOOD RELIGIOUS BACKGROUNDS WHO
ARE TOLD, WELCOME.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT YOUR
RELIGIOUS BELIEFS.
WE ARE HERE TO EDUCATE YOU AS
TO WHY THEY ARE WRONG AND GET
YOU OVER THOSE SUPERSTITIONS OF
YOUR PARENT THAT YOU HAVE BEEN
CLINGING TO.
I HAD SO MANY FRIENDS BOTH
CHRISTIAN AND JEWISH WHO SAID
THEIR KIDS HAD GONE TO COLLEGE
AND COME BACK ATHEISTS.
I STARTED THINKING, WHAT CAN I
RECOMMEND AND I COULDN'T FIND
ONE, SO I FINALLY FIGURED THIS
WAS TOO MUCH OF A CRISIS, NOT
TO SEARCH WITHIN MYSELF AND TRY
TO WRITE A BOOK THAT I THOUGHT
WOULD ANSWER QUESTIONS FOR THOSE
SEEKERS, THINKERS, COLLEGE
STUDENTS WHO WERE BEING TAKEN
IN BY, FRANKLY, A SET OF
IDOLATRY.
THAT IS PERMEATING ON MANY
CAMPUSES.
>> TELL US ABOUT YOUR PERSONAL
JOURNEY.
HOW DID YOU FIND A BELIEF IN
GOD?
>> YOU TOUCHED ON IT IN THE
INTRO.
I GREW UP IN A FAMILY WHERE MY
FATHER WAS A HOLOCAUST
SURVIVOR.
HE HAD WITNESSED HIS ENTIRE
FAMILY BEING MURDERED OR SENT
TO THE CONCENTRATION CAMPS AND
MY FATHER, WHEN HE WAS
LIBERATED FROM DHAKA WEIGHED
LESS THAN 70 POUNDS.
HE GOT TO CHICAGO BECAUSE OF A
SERIES OF MIRACLES AND HE KNEW
VERY, VERY WELL THAT IF, I
DON'T KNOW, IF THIS HAD BEEN
MOVED TO FEED THE OTHER WAY OR
THE PAINTING HAD BEEN UP OR
DOWN OR ONE STEP FORWARD IN
LINE A ONE STEP TO THE SIDE OF
THE LINE THAT HE WOULD BE DEAD.
HE WOULD HAVE BEEN MURDERED.
SOMEHOW HE MADE IT TO CHICAGO,
AND HE GOT MARRIED AND HE HAD A
SON.
HE WAS ACTUALLY -- DIDN'T HAVE
FAITH IN GOD.
HE WAS CERTAIN THERE WAS A GOD.
ON THE OTHER HAND, HE GRAPPLED
HIS ENTIRE LIFE WONDERING ABOUT
WHY GOD HAD SAVED HIM AND YET
HIS FATHER, HIS AUNTS, UNCLES
AND MOTHER HAD ALREADY DIED IN
CHILDBIRTH BUT ESSENTIALLY
EVERYBODY HE KNEW, BROTHERS
WERE ALL MURDERED.
AND SO HE GREW UP, I GREW UP
WITH THIS QUESTION OF HOW DOES
GOD PERMIT EVIL ON THIS EARTH?
THE NATURE OF HUMAN EVIL AND
THE LIKE, SO IT WAS A CONSTANT
QUESTION FOR ME AND IT TURNED
ME INTO A SEARCHER AND I ASKED
SOME OF THE SAME QUESTIONS THAT
THE ATHEISTS ASK AND CAME UP
WITH THE ANSWERS THAT LED ME TO
FAITH.
>> I LIKE TO TELL PEOPLE THAT
GOD IS A GOD OF REVELATION, AND
YOU NEED TO SEARCH INTO YOU
FIND THAT REVELATION.
YOU SAY THAT THE BIBLE IS AS
RELEVANT A TEXT AS EVER. HOW
SO?
>> FIRST OF ALL, I STUDY THE
BIBLE EVERY DAY AND I'M ALWAYS
FINDING NEW THINGS IN TERMS OF
EVEN HOW WE DEAL WITH OUR
PRESENT SITUATION IN THIS
COUNTRY AND HOW WE DEAL WITH IT.
BUT THE MOST FUNDAMENTAL THING
I LIVE BY EVERY DAY IS THE
GOLDEN RULE, WHICH COMES FROM
THE HEBREW SCRIPTURES IN THE
CHRISTIAN SCRIPTURES.
DON'T DO UNTO OTHERS WHAT YOU
WOULD WANT DONE UNTO YOU.
I FIND THAT RULE SO RELEVANT IN
BUSINESS, AND PERSONAL AFFAIRS,
IN THINKING ABOUT POLITICAL
ISSUES IS HOW DO WE RECOGNIZE
THAT WE EACH UNIT IS INSTILLED
WITH A SPARK OF DIVINITY. WE
ARE MADE IN THE IMAGE OF GOD
AND HOW DO WE LOOK AT EACH
OTHER PERSONALY?
THE BIBLE EVERY DAY HAS AN
INFLUENCE ON MY PERSONAL AFFAIRS
AND FRANKLY ON MY BUSINESS
AFFAIRS HOW I TRY TO TREAT
PEOPLE IN BUSINESS AND HOW I
THINK PEOPLE SHOULD ETHICALLY
LIVE THEIR LIVES IN THE
BUSINESS WORLD IS IS REALLY
WHERE THE RUBBER MEETS THE ROAD.
HOW DO DO STUFF WHEN MONEY IS
AT HAND?
HAD YOU THINK WITH A CLEAR MIND
AND DO WHAT THE BIBLE TELLS YOU
TO DO?
>> LET'S GRAPPLE WITH HOW DO
YOU RECONCILE FAITH AND SCIENCE
AND LET ME GIVE YOU AN INTRO.
I WAS READING AN ATHEIST AND HE
IS RIDICULING SOME HARVARD
MEDICAL SCHOOL STUDENTS.
THEY HAD FOUND SO MUCH DESIGN
IN THE CELL THAT THEY WERE
COMMENTING TO EACH OTHER, HOW
CAN YOU NOT BELIEVE IN GOD WHEN
YOU SEE SO MUCH DESIGN IN THE
BASIC BIOLOGY, THE BASIC
MECHANISMS OF LIFE?
HOW DO YOU RECONCILE? HE
ACTUALLY RIDICULED THOSE
HARVARD MEDICAL STUDENTS THAT
THEY OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T UNDERSTAND
EVOLUTION AND THEY DIDN'T
UNDERSTAND AND DESIGN IS JUST
AN ILLUSION.
HOW DO YOU RECONCILE IT QUICKLY
.
>> IT'S SIX SECTIONS OF THE
MOST DIFFICULT ISSUES THAT THE
SO-CALLED NEW ATHEIST BRAIN.
THEY ARE ACTUALLY MAKING THE
SAME ARGUMENTS AS THE OLD
ATHEISTS, BUT DANIEL DENNETT IS
ONE OF THEM THAT ACTUALLY READ
CAREFULLY AND GRAPPLED WITH.
THE ANSWER IS, THAT MANY OF,
AND THIS IS THE ANSWER ON ONE
FOOT AS A WORD IS THAT SCIENCE
ACTUALLY DOESN'T SAY MANY OF
THE THINGS THAT DANIEL BENNETT
AND RICHARD HAWKINS AND
CHRISTOPHER RICHINS AND SAM
HARRIS SAY IT SAYS.
THEY ARE DOLLARIZED SCIENCE AND
TURN IT INTO AND IDOLATRY.
SAYING THAT SCIENCE IS THINGS
THAT HE CAN'T POSSIBLY SAY.
SCIENCE IS A LOT ABOUT HOW IS
NOT ABOUT WISE.
I GOING TO MY BOOK IN DETAIL ON
TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE TWO
MAJOR ISSUES THAT THE ATHEIST
BRAIN.
CREATION AND EVOLUTION.
IN THE END, I THINK I SHOW
PRETTY CLEARLY THAT IT'S
RATIONAL TO BELIEVE THAT GOD
CREATED THE WORLD AND IT'S
RATIONAL NOT TO BELIEVE.
I THINK THE EVIDENCE IS MUCH
STRONGER THAN A GOD THAT GOD
CREATED THE UNIVERSE, BUT YOU
CAN STILL MAKE A RATIONAL
ARGUMENT THAT GOD DIDN'T.
IN TERMS OF EVOLUTION, I
ACTUALLY TAKE THE SCIENCE
DIRECTLY TO THE NEW ATHEISTS
AND SHOW HOW MATHEMATICALLY
SCIENTIFICALLY EVOLUTION IS A
HARD ROW TO HOE.
>> SCOTT'S BOOK IS CALLED "IN
FAITH" AND AVAILABLE
NATIONWIDE.
I ENCOURAGE YOU TO GET IT.
PARTICULARLY IF YOU COLLEGE
STUDENTS.
WE LEAVE YOU THIS WORDS FROM
HEBREWS.
BUT WITHOUT FAITH IT IS
IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE HIM, FOR
HE WHO COMES TO GOD MUST
BELIEVE THAT HE IS, AND THAT HE
IS A REWARDER OF THOSE WHO
DILIGENTLY SEEK HIM.
