- Well, welcome to "The 700 Club."
Gender affirming therapy.
You say, "What is that?"
Planned Parenthood isnow offering hormones
to young people with no questions asked.
They simply say, quote, "I'm transgender.
I want the hormones," and voila.
How much should this new business venture
benefit Planned Parenthood?
And how are they targeting children
as young as 16 and under?
Heather Sells brings usthis shocking report.
- Planned Parenthood hasbegun offering hormone therapy
to those who identify as transgender.
It is a new business modelthat makes financial sense,
potentially for years to come.
- You are accepting all the risks
and you just, you say, "I'm transgender.
I want these hormones," andthey will give them to you.
- [Heather] AttorneyMary Hasson is watching
the growing number of youngpeople, especially girls,
who see themselves either as transgender
or simply gender-nonconforming
filling Planned Parenthood waiting rooms.
- They seek hormonesto modify their bodies,
not to the extent thatsomeone who identifies
as transgender might,but just, for example,
for a girl to have less fat,to have more musculature,
to look a little bit more masculine.
- [Heather] The giant abortionprovider's annual report
shows its expanding business venture.
200 centers in 31 states nowwelcome these young people,
and the Family Research Council says
Planned Parenthood has becomethe second largest provider
of hormone therapy tothose wanting to change.
It is labeled gender affirming therapy,
which means no questions asked
and no need for mental health support.
- Instead of their underlyingwounds being addressed
and someone sorting out why itis that it feels so terrible
to be a woman and thatthey hate their bodies,
instead of asking, what's going on,
they're simply medicating that
and creating new customers for life
in ways that are deeply damagingto these women's bodies.
- [Heather] Some centersare even targeting teens
16 and under, setting upa business relationship
that can last for a lifetime
and permanently alter adolescent bodies.

- You know, the founderof Planned Parenthood
was a lady named Margaret Sanger
and she was unbelievably evil.
She wrote a book, and I read the monograph
so don't tell me that it'snot true, I've read it,
called "Breeding the Thoroughbred."
And what she wanted to do
was to sterilize mentally defectives.
She wanted to sterilizeSouthern European people.
She wanted to sterilizecertain Protestants.
And then, of course, she wantedto sterilize black people.
Now, that was her agenda,and Planned Parenthood
is Margaret Sanger had, was the founder
of what was called eugenics.
And I thought thatshe'd taken her material
from Adolf Hitler.
It's the other way around.
Hitler took his stufffrom Margaret Sanger.
And she was the founderof Planned Parenthood.
And Planned Parenthoodhas gotten so pervasive.
It's gotten so much moneyfrom the federal government
that Barack Obama, during his presidency,
in the showdown with Congress,
was willing to shut the government down
rather than eliminatethe subsidies being paid
to Planned Parenthood.
And you've got to go all theway through the federal budget
to find out all thoseitems, but it amounts
to at least $100 million,maybe more than that,
being paid by the federalgovernment to Planned Parenthood.
It is an absolutelypernicious, evil organization,
and its founder was,
well, words fails to me
to describe the kind of person she was.
But nevertheless, they'regetting all this money,
and this is a new stream of money,
a new stream of money that'sgoing to take little children,
youngsters, boys andgirls, and change their sex
without any questions being asked.
Well, in other news, SouthDakota's governor is under fire
for vetoing a lawprotecting women's sports.
The legislature overturned her veto.
So what did she do next?
John Jessup has that.
- That is right, Pat.
South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem
is resorting to usingher executive privilege
to keep transgender males fromcompeting in women's sports
in public schools and colleges.
One order limits participationin women's sports
to females based on theirbiological sex from K through 12.
The other issue addresses the other,
rather, addresses theissue on the college level.
Noem announced the orders
after the state's Republican legislature
overrode her veto of a bill designed
to protect women's sports on Monday.
Noem said the bill didn't do enough
to protect college athletes,but she faced harsh criticism
from conservatives over her vote.
Before Monday's events, CBN's David Brody
asked the Republican governorwhether she sent the bill back
after corporate pressurefrom the NCAA and Amazon.
- If this bill was justa K through 12 bill,
you would sign it, but the problem
is the college component here,
'cause the NCAA may sue the state
or maybe take their business elsewhere?
- Only girls should beplaying in girls sports.
That's not up for dispute.
My goal is really to protect our kids,
make sure that we don't haveboys playing in girls sports
at the K-12 level, and thenalso, at the collegiate level,
go fight a battle that we can win.
- Noem signed the orders within an hour
of the legislature's override.
Well, nine minutes of terror.
That's how the prosecutor described
George Floyd's last momentsin the first day of the trial
of former police officer, Derek Chauvin.
But the defense attorney argues
the defendant did nothing wrong.
CBN's Jenna Browder has the latest
on the highly charged trial.
- After opening statements,
the prosecution began calling witnesses,
one of them a 911 operator
who saw the entire incident unfold.
- [Witness] The fact that youguys aren't checking his pulse
and doing compressions if he needs them?
- [Jenna] Prosecutor JerryBlackwell laid out his case,
starting with bystander videoshowing the final minutes
of George Floyd's life.
Blackwell placing allblame for Floyd's death
on Officer Chauvin, whoknelt on the victim's neck
for more than nine minutes.
- Mr. Derek Chauvin betrayed this badge
when he used excessiveand unreasonable force
upon the body Mr. George Floyd.
- [Jenna] But defense attorneyEric Nelson making a case
for reasonable doubt inhis opening statement,
arguing officers struggledto constrain Floyd
and highlighting his drug use
and underlying health conditions.
- The evidence willshow that Mr. Floyd died
of a cardiac arrhythmiathat occurred as a result
of hypertension, his coronary disease,
the ingestion ofmethamphetamine and fentanyl,
and the adrenalineflowing through his body.
- [George] Please, I can't breathe.
- [Jenna] The prosecutionthen put its opening witnesses
on the stand.
- He was going throughdistress because of the knee
and he vocalized it,that "I can't breathe.
I need to get up and I'm sorry."
- [Jenna] The 911operator also testifying,
saying she watched the incidentunfold on street camera,
later reporting it to a supervisor.
- My instincts were tellingme that something's wrong.
Something is not right.
I don't know what, butsomething wasn't right.
- Ultimately, it comes down to 14 jurors,
eight white and six black or multiracial
will hear this case,which is expected to last
up to four weeks.
And there's concern the trialcould spark violent protests.
That's why some 100 NationalGuard members are standing by
in Minneapolis.
Jenna Browder, CBN News.
- Thank you, Jenna.
Pat, back to you.
- You know, we have a principle in law
that a person is innocentuntil proved guilty,
and I certainly agree with that.
But I tell ya, what thisChauvin did was so blatant.
It was so ungodly and it wenton for an interminable time.
And it was played out on television
and it has resulted in tens of millions
of dollars worth of damageagainst goods and property.
It's resulted in riotingall across America.
It has set the causeof race relations back,
you know, decades and it was all because
of this one bad cop.
And in my opinion, theyoughta, not put him in jail,
but put him under the jail.
I mean, what he did was just horrible.
But as I say, the principle of law
is he's innocent until proved guilty,
but the defense is puttingup a pretty good case.
And you know, even if Floydhad pre-existing conditions,
if he had fentanyl in hissystem, whatever he had,
that wasn't the cause ofhis death, it doesn't seem.
And Chauvin, I mean, he hascost us as a nation dearly
and there's just no punishmentthat I think is adequate
to take care of what he's done.
John.
- Pat, some good news inthe fight against COVID-19.
A real-world study shows the Pfizer
and Moderna vaccines are 90% effective,
and just one dose of eitherprovides 80% effectiveness
in preventing infections from the virus,
according to a CDC study.
The US is now vaccinating
between two to three million people daily.
This as the Bidenadministration is warning people
not to drop their guard.
Cases are rising nationwide,
prompting concerns about a fourth surge.
However, some statesthat lifted restrictions
are not seeing an increase in cases.
In Texas, for example, wherethe governor opened the state
and lifted mask restrictions last month,
cases are dropping to a record low
over the past threeweeks, down more than 42%.
Well neither President Biden
nor Vice President Harrishave visited the border,
but Republican lawmakersare making the trip
and they're blaming thepresident's immigration policies
for the surge.
Texas RepublicanCongresswoman Beth Van Duyne
spoke with CBN's "FaithNation" from the border.
Congresswoman Van Duyne,
have you been able to meetwith Border Patrol agents
or other law enforcement officials?
I wonder what they're telling you.
- We have.
We have talked to themand they are very direct
that they feel like theyare in reactionary mode,
that, you know, underthe Trump administration,
we were able to get ahandle on what was happening
by allowing people toapply for asylum in Mexico
or the first safe country they came in
instead of having thismassive surge onto our border.
And what we've seen under thiscurrent Biden administration
is all of those solutions that worked
under the last administration,the Trump administration,
had been removed.
- More than 17,000 unaccompanied minors
who crossed the borderalone are now in US custody.
Senator Lindsey Graham visitedthe border over the weekend.
He told Fox's Sean Hannityhow the current policies
are enticing people to sendchildren to the border alone.
- I saw children withnumbers on their wrists,
and here's what that means.
They have family membersin the United States, Sean.
They send money back Central America.
They hire a humansmuggler, human trafficker,
to get 'em to the border.
Once we catch them, yourtax dollars are used
to reunite the family.
This is not catch and release.
This is catch and reunite.
- The Biden administrationsays it is sending the message
to people in Central and South America
not to come to the southern border.
Still, predictions, Pat, are that,
as we come into thespring and summer months,
the numbers will only increase.
- Well, this business about, well,
it's spiking because it'swarm weather is nonsense.
I mean, that area downthere is warm all the time
and I think it's ridiculousto talk about that.
But there is no questionthat these people are coming
because they think JoeBiden has invited them.
And unless Joe Bidensays, "You can't come,
and if you do come, you'regonna be sent back home,"
and then he tells the Mexicans,as they have in the past,
that they themselves won'tallow the people to transition
from Honduras or El Salvadoracross their territory,
and if they say that,then the thing will stop.
But we cannot accommodatethis enormous surge.
Some of them are actually being put up
in expensive hotels at government expense.
And what Lindsey Grahamsaid about the taxpayer,
it's not just the taxpayer.
The cartels are bringingthese people across,
putting a label on them,
finding out informationabout their families,
and then threatening their families.
When they come in,they'll know who they are,
where they are, and they'llsay, "If you don't pay us
or do whatever we ask youto do, we'll kill you."
I mean, so the cartelsare reaching into America
because of this stuff that's going on.
It's not just thetaxpayers paying the bill.
Ladies and gentlemen, we cannotallow our federal government
to do what they're doing to us
'cause it's affecting every one of us.
And when these people comeinto these communities,
they're being shipped into allacross the country in buses
and they turn 'em looseand they're gonna be
in various cities throughoutTexas, New Mexico, Arizona,
and then all the way up into the Midwest
and then all over the country,
and thanks to our current president.
Why?
Well they think, number one,
the big companies wantcheap labor, number one,
and that holds the cost of labor down.
Number two, they think thatthese people can be made
to vote for the DemocratParty and, therefore,
they want to have more of them in here.
And then they want to give them status,
they want to give them citizenship,
they want to give them protection,
and then they want togive them healthcare.
And before it's finished,
they want to give them freetuition in our colleges.
Unbelievable.
We cannot afford it.
John.
- Pat, the internationalshipping saga is over
now that shipping is onceagain moving in the Suez Canal.
Salvage teams freed themassive container ship Monday
that brought much of theworld's trade to a standstill.
A high tide enhanced by a supermoon
helped finally break the220,000-ton ship loose
after being stuck for nearly a week.
The delay cost companiesbillions of dollars.
Well, it was an incredibleCinderella story
for Oral RobertsUniversity's basketball team
during this year's March Madness.
Even though the Golden Eagles were beaten
in the Sweet 16 last weekend,
the university president, William Wilson,
says the staff and students aregrateful for the experience.
He says, even when it was overshadowed
by a cancel culture call forthe NCAA to oust the school
over its stand on biblical sexuality,
the school's focus remained onwhat's always mattered most.
- Our views on theseissues are nothing new.
We've been around for over 50 years
and we're committed to havinga culture and an ethos at ORU
grounded in the word of Godand one that gives our students
the very best chance for success.
So we're grateful, we're thankful.
We don't expect everybodyto agree with us.
There's room in Americafor diverse opinions.
We accept that.
And we appreciate peoplerespecting our opinion
and not being religiouslydiscriminate against us.
- The Final Four starts this weekend,
and Pat, it was such a closegame, just down by two points.
- It's amazing what they've done.
The Green family of Hobby Lobby
have given an enormous amount of money
to Oral Roberts University.
It's in the neighborhoodof 350 million or so.
- Wow.- And they rescued the school.
The school was going down.
It was...
You know, when Oral left,there was confusion,
tremendous amount of debt, and so forth,
and it's been rescued and turned around.
But the idea that we have a culture now
where people would come against a school.
Why?
Because they do notagree with homosexuality,
lesbianism, and transgender activities.
And because they don't dothat, they should be prohibited
from engaging in sporting activity
because of the policies of the school.
That's how far we've gone.
It wasn't long ago, Imean, a few decades ago,
when this type of conductthat they're advocating
was actually considered a pathology
and it was a psychological pathology.
Now, the circle has come around
so that those peopleare now the oppressors,
and if you don't agree with them,
they will destroy your activity.
It's not a question of live and let live.
It's a question of you agree with us
or we will take you down.
And that's what it wasbeing advocated against ORU.
So my salute and hats off to them.
Keep with your policies,
and there are millionsof people in America
who agree with what you're doing,
agree with biblical values,
and we're not gonna let thethought police destroy you.
So great work in the Sweet 16.
I mean, that's a Cinderella story,
- That is a Cinderella story.- of major magnitude.
Congratulations to ORU.
I was once...
They had the president's council out there
and I was chairman ofthat years and years ago
when Oral was running the school
and it was just starting out.
It was a thrill to seewhat they were doing at ORU
in those early days.
I was there at the early days
when the school was just getting going.
And you know, I'm glad to see 'em...
You know, Oral, it was amazing.
He was then, in those days,
he was out recruitingtall basketball players.
You'd see these seven...- It paid off.
(Terry laughs)
So, I mean, that was Oral'spolicy years and years ago.
He didn't feel the football team,
but he went for basketball.
And he would go out and, Imean, literally go to a house
where these people were andhe'd pray with the mother
and say, "You've gottasend your son to ORU,"
and the mother-- We need him.
Yeah, and mother would say,"Well, Reverend Roberts
was here to see me andI've gotta get my boy
to come to your school."
You're talking aboutrecruiting. It was amazing.
But anyhow, congratulations.
