News on The 700 Club: May 18, 2021

As seen on “The 700 Club,” May 18, 2021. Read Transcript


(upbeat music)

- Welcome folks to thisedition of The 700 Club.

Last week, 124 retiredgenerals and admirals,

sounded a warning to our country.

They wrote that under the current

administration and Congress quote,

"Our country has taken a hard left turn

"towards socialism and a Marxist form

"of tyrannical government."

Among their concerns is this and I quote,

"The mental and physical condition

"of the commander-in-chiefcannot be ignored.

"He must be able to quickly make accurate

"national securitydecisions involving life

"and limb anywhere, day or night."

Any sudden change in the Oval Office

points to this successionof the presidency.

Now this isn't something they said,

it's something I want you to see.

If something happens,

if for some reason Joe Biden is removed

because of mental incompetency

and there're people sounding the alarm,

these admirals and generalsdidn't come out and say,

well he's mentally deficient,

but everybody has found constant glitches

in his speech pattern andhis inability to speak

without having carefully scripted notes.

So, here is the successionI want to show you again.

If he is taken out VicePresent Kamala Harris

becomes the president.

If something happens to Kamala Harris,

the next president is Nancy Pelosi.

Now that's the way it is.

Now, unless there arefive seats in the house

that are up for grabs,there was a redistricting

because of the census which may have given

a couple more house seats to Republicans.

And it looks without question

that the house is going to turn

and Nancy Pelosi will not be speaker

after this fall's election.

That looks what is going to happen

but she will be the presidentof the United States

if something happens toJoe Biden or Kamala Harris.

And so the thought is ifNancy Pelosi is not speaker,

if the current Republican leader

of the house becomes speaker,

then there'll be a wholedifferent chain of command

but it's the nanny hell, it'ssomething very interesting.

And I think you should watch it

because it may be in the news shortly.

But there's something else that happened,

a long time ago there was a case

that was called black ones abortion.

It was the most awful casethat you could imagine

and it was called Roe versus Wade.

And suddenly what shouldhave been a police matter

of the states, to bedecided at the state level

wasn't the federalized andtaken away from the voters

of every state in the UnitedStates, but somehow or other

the Democrats have stuck a you asleep

to the idea of unlimited abortion.

And I remember hearing the candidate

for president of the Democrat party

in a debate with presidentTrump saying she would back

up late term abortion even

with a baby being broughtfrom the mother's womb.

And I said, that is so horrible.

That is the position it's terrible.

Well, it could be.

Now the beginning ofthe end for Roe vs Wade.

Yesterday the Supremecourt made a potential move

in that direction.

CBS, Jenna Browder has the details.

- The Supreme court madethe announcement Monday

which comes by way of achallenge to a Mississippi law.

And with the current 63conservative makeup of the court

the outcome could be different this time

- [Reporter 1] that lawlimits access to abortion

after 15 weeks of pregnancy and challenges

fetal viability as thestandard for abortion

- You can't legislate

away an entire groupof human beings rights.

The children, childrenthat are in the womb.

- [Reporter 1] Lila Rosepresident of Live Action

on CBN, Faith Nation

- And at time for the law

and the Supreme courtto catch up with science

which is crystal clear thathuman life begins before birth.

And that the only differencebetween a pre-born child

whether that child is 10weeks old, 15 weeks old

or moments before birth and usa born human being is our age

and our level of development.

- [Reporter 1] The Mississippicase does not directly

challenge the currentlegal right to an abortion

but it could lay the groundworkfor more restrictions.

And of Roe V. Wade were to be overturned.

Abortion would become a state issue.

- Ultimately the hope is

that the Supreme courtwill take the handcuffs

off the States

and allow them to pass lawsthat reflect the values

of the people that live there.

- [Reporter 1] Mallory Quigleywith the Susan B. Anthony

list says the mood

of the country is shifting and

that the majority ofAmericans are now pro-life

- This year alone, more than500 bills have been introduced

at state legislatures across the country.

61 have at this point,been signed into law

and it's not even June.

This is the crescendo of agroundswell of pro-life momentum.

That's been growing, especiallyin the last 10 years.

And it's in a directcontrast to the legacy

of Rowe and the extreme pro-abortion

jurisprudence that we have in this country

- [Reporter 1] Pro-choice advocates

are voicing their opposition

may roll calling it an ominous sign

that some States are ready to ban abortion

and the Biden administrationto why does press secretary

Jen Saki condemning what shecalls draconian state laws.

Adding the president Biden is committed

to turning row into codafide law

- The president and thevice-president are devoted

to ensuring that every Americanhas access to healthcare

including reproductive healthcare

- For now we'll haveto wait until the fall.

When the court should hear arguments

and then release a decision next spring

in Washington, Jenna Browder, CBN news

- Just think ladies andgentlemen, this row was passed.

We in the free country

of America have slaughtered approximately

60 million unborn babies.

Think of the tremendous creation

the creative ability thatthese people could have brought

to her society.

60 million Roe versus Wadehas been a terrible tragedy.

And we're going to have to pay the price

for slaughtering those unborn children.

But I remember when, you know

my friend Jesse Helms said, well, we need

a constitutional amendment

that will ensure trying the right to life.

And I thought, you know

it's not going to happenJesse, but what is needed?

It was a flip in the Supreme court.

But the thing that we'vehad to wait this long

to get a Supreme court majoritythat would indeed hear this

and this whole idea ofpartial birth abortion

and the other thingsare just an abomination.

And there's no way that anybody can claim

as a woman's health whileI baby there's being taken

from her womb, has his brains sucked out.

And to say that is something having to do

with woman's reproductivehealth it's nonsense, but that's

what's been claimed by theso-called pro-choice people.

And well, we'll see whathappens, but it looks

like to me, the Supremecourt, finally, finally

after these terribleyears of these millions

of unborn babies is finally going

to make a decision that will

if nothing else returned thiswhole thing to the States

and that's what shouldhave been done all along

when the Supreme courtfederalized abortion,

it took it out of the hands of the voters

will also in the news while

the fighting between Hamas and Israel

arranges on a political battleis brewing here at home.

Inside the democratic party.

John Justice has more on that story.

- That is right, Pat the ongoingconflict has exposed a rift

in the democratic party.

President Biden expressing support

for ceasefire in a phone conversation

with prime minister,Benjamin Netanyahu Monday

but stopping short of explicitly calling

for one so far Biden andDemocrat leaders Chuck Schumer

and Nancy Pelosi are showing support

for Israel sighting it'srisk, right to self defense

but the progressive wing

of the party wants the white house

to take a more hard line approach

by dressing what he callsIsrael's apartheid policies

toward the PolicyLink Palestinians

including withholding us aid as leverage.

Well, as most of the media is focused

on the rocket fire from Gazaand Israel's military response

on the ground hell or for some fear

and internal strife threatensto tear Israel apart.

CVNs Chris Mitchell reportson the growing violence

between Arab and JewishIsraelis throughout the country

- [Reporter 2] Disturbances and writing.

And Israel's major citiesis the worst in decades.

- What we saw

on the streets is somethingthat was reminding us

of the days of the pogroms

in 1948 in 1927 in 1936 in1967, that is unacceptable.

We want the Israeli Arab culture.

We want the Israeli

our communities to calmthe situation down.

- [Reporter 2] Israel police spokesman

Mickey Rosenfeld saysauthorities have used only

non-lethal methods to control the vines.

- It's come from the IsraeliArab community who have

attacked police officers, burnvehicles, tens of vehicles

of civilians also been burnedin the different cities.

- [Reporter 2] Rosenfeld tells CBS news.

The incidents began atJerusalem's old city

during the Muslim Holy month of Ramadan,

- But unfortunately

local residents, localcommunities, local individuals

the majority of the youngstersare taking to the streets.

- [Reporter 2] In the initial violence

Arab writers, attack, Jews and synagogues.

The violence also promptedJewish self-defense

and revenge attacks

such as this one caughtlive on Israeli television.

- The majority of thoseindividuals being individuals

with criminal records were taking

to the streets and defendingthemselves as well.

In the majority of situations.

Unfortunately, there were one

or two incidents that tookplace where they beat up people

in the streets, which isabsolutely unacceptable.

- [Reporter 2] Meanwhile,Israel's president

Reuven Rivlin broughttogether Muslim Christian

and Jewish religious leaders and educators

from the NorthernIsraeli mixed city of ACO

(speaks in foreign language)

- [Reporter 3] This is home to us all.

And we protect our home,not with clubs and knives

not with stones and firearms.

That's so destruction and ruin.

But first and foremost, bymaintaining law and order

(speaks in foreign language)

- [Reporter 3] We hadthree awful days here

and we are still traumatized.

Our town is a special place,a place where we live in

where coexistence is not just a slogan.

(speaks in foreign language)

- [Reporter 3] The peoplehere have worked very hard

invested a great deal instopping the violence.

As the rabbi said, Ocho is aplace where you feel the calm

and the coexistence.

- [Chris] Arrests are ongoing

and Rosenfeld hopes thesituation calms down.

So police can decrease thenumber of officers on the ground.

Chris Mitchell, CBS news, Jerusalem.

- Thanks for that report Chris,

turning now to the us Southern border

and the surge of migrantscrossing into the country

illegally the numbersincreasing every month

the latest figures show nearly179,000 encounters in April

a 900% increase from last year Republicans

blaming Biden administration policies.

- You said as recently as this week

that the border is closed.

Is that still your position today?

Borders is closed.

- Yes it is.

- Don't you think youbear any responsibility

for the current crisis bytelling the world earlier

this year that the border was open.

- I've never said that the border is open

and I've never been

- We're not telling you not to come.

How would you parse that?

- I don't recall saying that.

I don't believe- You don't recall

saying that it's

- That's correct.

- Another concern, the floodof unaccompanied minors

at the border record numbersof children now arriving faster

than they can be processedand placed in sponsor homes

more than 17,000 crossedover in April down slightly

from the all-time high Pat, back in March

- You remember all of the fuss that went

on about Trump building a wall

and he would didn'thave the money to do it.

And everybody complained.

He was a dictator

and an autocrat to wantto build an all a wall.

And that he was somehow racist.

Jingo is to use all thoseterms that will be used.

He was right.

We cannot, cannot openour nation to the flood

of people around theworld who want to come in.

I mean, we just can't do it.

There's no way anynation cannot accommodate

a flood of immigrantsfrom outside its borders

and still maintain itsown standard of living.

But that seems to be the case.

And to deny that there'sa crisis is something

that's just appalling.

It is an absolute flood of refugees

that are coming in notonly from South America

from all over the worldand the cartels are

taking advantage of it and profiting

and also taking the namesof people's families.

When they bring them acrossthe so-called coyotes

they bring them across the border.

Then they find out thenames of their family

and where they live.

And then they use that as blackmail.

We can't allow that tohappen, but it will never

it won't stop.

Unless people say Trump was right.

We need to build the wall.

At the same time, we needto have a deal with Mexico

which we had to preventthis flood of immigrants.

But we abrogated that agreement

and we stopped building the wall

and that's been the liberal position

to flood this country.

And when we have unemployment in America

and Americans seekingjobs to bring in a flood

of low wage earners is just outrageous

but that's what we're doing.

So folks, you know, wecannot have one party coming

in and say, our mandateis dismantle everything

that my predecessor didbecause let's face it.

Trump isn't very good things John.

- Pat, on both sidesof the political divide

American politics is being swallowed up

by what's known as darkmoney, shadowy sources

making huge contributions andinfluencing government policy.

As Dale hurd reports.

Some say it goes all theway to the white house

- [Dale] Both sides of the political aisle

conservative say dark money controls

white house policy on issues ranging

from court packing to the environment.

Dark Money is a political contribution

with no requirement todisclose who gave it

and no limit on the amount.

Democrats have long worn

that conservative Dark Moneywas a menace to the nation.

Although in the lasttwo elections Democrats

were the Dark Money champions.

- May be no issue has greaterhypocrisy than debates

over campaign finance reformand so-called Dark Money

because Democrats thunderagainst Dark Money.

And yet Democrats dominate ark Money.

- Liberal Dark Money groups,outspend conservative groups

by a three to one marginin the 2018 election

and by a five to one margin in 2020.

- [Dale] $1 billion inDark Money was spent

on the 2020 federal elections

mostly by Democrats,

according to the website opensecrets.org

from the center for responsive politics.

It says two thirds of it came

from shadowy politicalnonprofits and shell companies.

Joe Biden received five timesas much of these contributions

as Donald Trump, formerNevada attorney general

Adam Laxalt is withAmericans for Republicans

- Trust everything that'sgoing on in America right now

where culture is being pushedin so many different levers.

There's often a Dark Money group.

On the other side of that.

- [Dale] After the electionofficials connected

to Dark Money accepted positions

in the Biden administration

including White House Counsel Paige Herwig

and spokeswoman Jen Psaki

they worked with a groupcalled Demand Justice

which paid for this signdemanding Supreme court justice

Stephen Brier resigned to makeway for a Biden appointment.

Demand justice alsowants to pack the court.

Chief of staff.

Ron Klain was a board memberat the cap action fund

which reports claim deals

in Dark Money donations

and White House climateadvisor Gina McCarthy

led the natural resources,defense council.

Another Dark Money group.

Laxalt believes this effectivelymakes Joe Biden a puppet

of dark money.

- These groups made an investment.

They cared about X issues

and they're not just outthere still spinning.

A lot of them moved

into the white house

and they're helping to shape policy.

- [Dale] Democrats in thenew Congress have vowed

to end Dark Money.

Critics say maybe theywill, after they're done it.

Dale hurd CBN news.

- Thanks Dale, Pat, back to you.

- Well, folks actually get sickof the hypocrisy in politics

but I tell you we'd better do some praying

because this is not a socialist country.

And I do believe that thiscountry belongs to the Lord.

It was given to the Lord Jesus

and he doesn't really wantto give it up right now.

And I think this is of freedom

that is supposed to bea light to the nations

and a city set on a Hilland all the other things.

And we've got to be aleader instead of that

this country is beinghijacked by socialists

there's being hijacked

and the agenda that's being jammed down.

The throats of people right now is nothing

more than us socialists play to take

over the freedom that you and I enjoy.

And we'd better wakeup because if we don't

it's going to be too bad.

The Germans finally woke up to the fact

that they had given up their freedom

to a group called the Nazis because well

there was a weakness, hither and Yon

and a powerful group came in.

And the next thing you know

the chancellor was laid off Hitler.

Well, we don't have that here in America.

And I believe

I believe God is going tobring a blessing to America.

That is my fervent desire.

And my hope and beliefis that we're going to

see a great move of God or this country

that is going to overthrowthis particular initiative

that is trying to seize controlor take away our freedom.
