Welcome, ladies and gentlemen to this edition

of The 700 Club and another week!

Hey, they call it March Madness.

Violent protesters showed up at Donald Trump's rallies

a few days before winner-take-all primaries

in Florida and Ohio.

And despite the attacks against Trump's campaign,

he's still favored to win big victories in the primaries

tomorrow.

And, despite Trump's leading in the polls,

his Republican opponents aren't giving up.

And the nomination battle could last a long time.

George Thomas has the story.

GEORGE THOMAS: Scenes like this of violent confrontations

over the past few days.

He actually incites violence in the way

that he urges his audience on.

GEORGE THOMAS: In and around Donald Trump's campaign rallies

have other candidates criticizing the GOP

frontrunner.

Trump has got to get on the TV, and tell his supporters

that violence in the political process in America

is not acceptable, end of discussion.

GEORGE THOMAS: But Trump has refuse

to take responsibility for clashes at his campaign events.

This was the scene at a rally in Ohio Sunday,

as Secret Service agents rushed to protect

the Republican frontrunner after protesters

stormed the stage at rallies throughout the weekend.

DONALD TRUMP: [INAUDIBLE] all of these other people,

get them out of here.

Go ahead, get out.

Get out.

Bing-bing!

Get 'em out!

GEORGE THOMAS: Trump was constantly

interrupted by hecklers.

He insists outside agitators are to blame,

and pointed some of the blame at Sanders' supporters.

And indeed, many in Sanders' supporters did show up.

It was totally organized troublemakers, troublemakers.

They're not protesters, they're disruptors.

They're supposed to disrupt.

GEORGE THOMAS: And with hours left

to go before voters head to the polls,

in Tuesday's five critical states.

I think it's a disaster for the country,

because if Donald is the nominee,

it makes it much, much more likely that Hillary

Clinton wins the general.

GEORGE THOMAS: Trump's Republican rivals

aren't backing down.

We've now reached a point in this country, where

our political discourse looks like the comments

section of a blog.

Where people can just say whatever

they want about anyone, without any rules of civility,

no norms that govern how we interact with one another.

GEORGE THOMAS: Still, polls show Donald Trump will likely

be the big winner Tuesday, except perhaps

in Ohio, where home state governor John

Kasich is out front with 39%.

Meanwhile in Florida, with 99 delegates and winner takes all,

it's a must-win for Senator Marco Rubio.

But a CBS poll has him currently in third place.

Experts say a defeat in his home state

would likely kill his campaign.

And on the Democratic side.

As millennials, your voice is important.

You're the ones who will decide this election.

GEORGE THOMAS: A fake campaign commercial

from "Saturday Night Live."

And luckily, I, Hillary Clinton,

share all of your exact same beliefs.

GEORGE THOMAS: Showing the frontrunner, played

by Kate McKinnon, slowly and literally

transforming into rival Bernie Sanders,

just to win more young supporters.

I'm whoever you want me to be, and I approve this message.

I'm trying here, guys.

GEORGE THOMAS: Jokes aside, Clinton

is hoping to add to her lead in the delegates,

as polls show her ahead of Sanders in all five states.

Whatever happens, the outcome of Tuesday's primaries

will be critical for both the Republican and Democratic

candidates.

And the results, well, are almost

certain to shape the dynamics of the race.

George Thomas, CBN News.

Thanks, George.

I was thinking today, if I were president, what I

do in relation to North Korea?

The time might come just to flatten them,

because they are dangerous.

And North Korea once again is threatening the United States

of America with a nuclear attack.

This time, they say they can wipe out New York City.

John Jessup has that story.

That's right, Pat.

The north says it could wipe out Manhattan with a hydrogen

bomb mounted on a ballistic missile,

and it warns its hydrogen bomb is

much bigger than the one built by the Soviet Union.

The Washington Post reports the communist nation says

all the people in Manhattan would be killed immediately,

and the city would burn down to ashes.

Although North Korea's missiles can

reach the West coast of United States,

there hasn't been reason to believe they

could go as far as New York.

And many experts question the north's claim

that it has built a hydrogen bomb,

while some say it is possible.

Turkish warplanes hitting Kurdish rebel targets

in Northern Iraq today after a terror attack

on the streets of Ankara.

A suicide car bomb killed 37 people

and wounded about 125 others in the heart

of the Turkish capital.

It is the third one in the city in five months,

and comes as Turkey faces renewed fighting with Kurdish

rebels and threats from the Islamic State,

and the Syrian refugee crisis.

Meanwhile, in Africa, Al Qaeda is claiming responsibility

for attacks on a beach resort town in the Ivory Coast.

At least 22 people died, including 14 civilians

and two security forces.

Six attackers carried out assaults

on three hotels, opening fire on beachgoers.

It is the third terrorist attack on an African resort center

in the past three months.

Pat?

You know, ladies and gentlemen, there

was a story I was reading out yesterday

about an interchange between John Kerry and the president,

and he was saying to the president, can we go in now

and do something?

And the president says, no.

He said, let's do something against ISIS and Syria,

and the president said no.

Obama doesn't want to do anything.

And as a result, the crazies are running wild

all over the globe.

And people are afraid now.

The fact that here the Ivory Coast

gets hit and people yelling, Allahu Akbar,

and all that business.

They're blowing up people in Turkey,

and who knows what else they're doing,

and we're going to talk with Chuck Holton a little bit

about Sinjar, and what ISIS did there,

and what they've done in Ramadi, and these other cities.

It's really terrible.

And our president won't do anything.

And so, the North Koreans are now saying,

we're going to nuke New York City.

And you say, well, that's an idle threat.

No, it's not.

They're developing as fast as they can, intercontinental

ballistic missiles.

The same thing with Iran, they're

developing sophisticated missiles.

And although they might not be able to carry a nuclear warhead

now, surely they'll move toward not only a single missile,

but a MIRV missile, and the nuclear [INAUDIBLE]

potential from that in terms of the United States is enormous.

Folks, you cannot act in a vacuum.

There's that statement, nature abhors a vacuum,

we've got a vacuum of leadership.

I mean, it's really, really serious.

And it's apparently every one of us.

So don't think, well, I'm a Democrat, or I'm a Republican,

or I'm an independent, it makes no difference!

We're all under the gun, unless we

get something done in our nation united against terror.

John.

Pat, voters in Germany delivered a strong rebuke

of Chancellor Angela Merkel over her open door policies

on immigration.

They threw their support behind a conservative party

called the AFD that holds a strong line on immigrants.

CBN's Dale Hurd spoke with a member of the AFD Party

in an exclusive interview.

[SPEAKING GERMAN]

INTERPRETER: I think we have to learn in Germany

to call something by its name.

Sadly, for a long time, we've built a system

of political correctness.

We are forbidding a lot of thinking and speaking.

The AFD Party was formed just three years ago,

and has surged in popularity following Merkel's decision

to allow millions of immigrants into Germany.

You can see more of our interview

on Dale's blog at CBNnews.com.

Well, the German pilot who flew a jet liner

into a mountain in the Alps last year

was on antidepressants, including

one that could have had a deadly side effect.

Andreas Lubitz was the co-pilot of the plane.

He locked the captain out of the cockpit,

and slammed flight 9525 into the mountainside nearly a year ago.

All 150 people on board were killed.

Lubitz had mental health and physical problems,

and consulted dozens of doctors.

One of them prescribed antidepressants,

including one whose side effects can

include suicidal tendencies.

He didn't report any of that to the airliner.

Neither did the doctors, because of Germany's

strict medical confidentiality laws.

Now, French investigators looking into the crash

say those laws must change.

Scientists are fighting against the Zika virus

with a controversial new method.

They want to release genetically modified male mosquitoes

carrying a deadly gene.

It would make their offspring die before they're

old enough to bite.

The FDA says the modified mosquitoes are not

dangerous to humans or the environment,

and scientists are already using these mosquitoes in Brazil.

But critics worry about side effects.

When you open this Pandora's box,

it's no way to recall these mosquitoes.

JOHN JESSUP: CBN's Operation Blessing

is fighting Zika in Central and South America

by distributing bed nets and insect repellent,

along with using tiny fish to eat mosquito larvae in water

around homes and villages.

You can find out more about how OB is fighting Zika,

and how you can help, on their website at OB.org.

Pat?

Folks, you may remember a few years ago,

there was a little lady whose name was Rachel Carson.

And she wrote a touching book called Silent Spring.

You remember that book?

Where there weren't any birds singing,

and the birds were all dead, they'd

all fallen out of the sky.

And so we had a silent spring, and why did we

have that spring?

It was because of the deleterious effects

of a substance called DDT.

You remember?

Sure.

And it killed all those robins, and all those bluebirds,

and all those wonderful, furry, flying creatures

around, because of the willfulness of mankind.

Well, that book got into the hands of the United Nations,

and into the hands of the Nixon administration.

And there was a furor throughout the world to ban DDT,

because we didn't want a silent spring,

we didn't want to kill all those nice little birds.

Well, in the process, we have unleashed

a plague on the world.

The amount of mosquito-borne disease like malaria

is appalling.

And now this Zika is wreaking havoc on unborn children.

And it goes on and on, and we're doing everything we can.

We've got mosquito nets, and we've

got chemically treated things going on.

But we refuse to use the most effective insecticide we had,

which is DDT.

Now, maybe they can come up with something else,

but this is what politicians can do when they

get their hands on something.

They screw it up!

And so a lot of people are dying-- I'm talking about,

what, 400 or 500 million people in the world have malaria,

and it's killing millions of people every year.

So we're going to kill a bunch of people

so we can keep those birds from falling from the sky.

Not smart.

John?

Pat, if you want to keep your memory

healthy in your later years, eat blueberries in your middle age.

And new study from the University of Cincinnati

says that a key ingredient in blueberries

could help strengthen the brain against dementia

or Alzheimer's in older age.

Blueberries are already known to possibly lower

the risk for other diseases, including heart disease

and cancer.

And Pat, it's like they're taking a page right out

of your diet plan.

Well, as a matter of fact, I had a healthy helping

of blueberries this morning, along with mixed berries.

I have red raspberries and strawberries, and blueberries.

I had a big bag of blueberries that I finished last week

or so.

And they're good for you.

I thought they were just really high in antioxidants,

I didn't know about all this other,

but we don't want dementia.

Do you eat your blueberries, sweetie?

Not enough, but I'm onto it now!

[LAUGHTER]

I'll share you some!

Thank you!

I tell you, there's this thing called the Price Club.

They have these big bags of mixed frozen berries,

they're really good.

Oh, is that what you eat, the frozen ones?

You just thaw them in the morning?

Oh, when they freeze them quickly,

they maintain the nutrients as far as I can tell.

But I pig out on those berries.

They're good for you-- nuts and berries, I tell you, folks!

It's the latest new fad, nuts and berries!

Go back to the paleo diet, what the caveman would've eaten

if he had a chance to get it.

Blueberries, he would have eaten them!
