- Well, welcome to the 700 Club.

You remember the guy who said,

"Never let a crisis go wasted?"

Well they're trying to dosomething and change this nation.

It is a power grab of massive proportion.

Here's what the Democrats are planning

and they're doing it fast.

Passage of Voting Rights Act,which federalizes elections,

takes away power of state legislatures,

permits unsupervised andunlimited mail-in ballots,

and allows ballot harvesting.

Next, they want to do eliminationof the Senate filibuster,

which denies effectivepower to the minority.

In a 50/50 Senate, VicePresident Kamala Harris

becomes a deciding voice.

They next want to give statehoodto D.C. and Puerto Rico,

which permits the election offour new Democrat Senators.

Then they want to doSupreme Court packing,

with four new liberaljustices, which would destroy

the independence of the judiciary.

And under the guise of whatis called infrastructure,

they want to allocate tensof billions of dollars

to liberal groups throughout America.

And then they want to give citizenship

to millions of undocumented aliens,

who they hope will be Democrat voters.

And finally, they wantto permit government

by executive fiat.

We've already seen that inthe Keystone Pipeline ruling.

That's what is being plannedfor you and our country

unless we do something about it.

Now you say it's shocking,

but they wanna put it all together.

They wanna get it through fast

before the American people wake up.

And I feel like Paul Revere,like "The British are coming."

You better get awake or youwill lose your government.

- What do people do?

Well, the big thing is theycan sure pray for Joe Manchin,

because he and Sinema fromArizona are the only two

in the Senate to hold the linein terms of the filibuster.

That is a major thing.

The rest of the stuff, ifthey pass that voting rights,

it sounds so simple, a voting rights act,

but it's going to federalizeelections and take power

that the Constitution givesto state legislatures.

They wanna rewrite the Constitution.

If the Senate goes, ifthe filibuster goes,

this country's had it,it's just that simple.

- Wow.

- Like little boy withhis finger in the dike.

There are only about two people.

And Joe Manchin is one of them.

- So pray, call your representatives.

- Yeah, call every one of them.

Let them know that the game is out.

You know what they're doing.

Call your Congressmen,call your Senator and say,

"Listen, we see what's being done.

"We get the game that they're playing.

"And we do not want togive our country over

"to one party rule forthe rest of our lives."

Well, in other news, halfof all adults in the U.S.

have received at least one COVID-19 shot.

So what about the rest?

Who's reluctant to get vaccinated and why?

And what can be done toconvince them it's safe?

Dale Hurd has that.

(whooshing)

- Half of Americanadults have now received

at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.

And almost a third arenow fully vaccinated.

This comes as Johns HopkinsUniversity says three million

people worldwide have nowdied from the disease.

The number of people in the U.S. willing

to take the shots is increasing.

A new poll shows 75% ofAmericans say they'll

get vaccinated, up from 67% in January.

However, a significant number of Americans

across racial lines say they probably

or definitely won't get the shot,

including 26% of white Americans,

24% of African-Americans,

and 22% of Hispanic Americans.

And a poll last week foundthat almost half of Republicans

do not plan to get vaccinated,

while two-thirds of Democratshave already received

at least one vaccine dose.

Now White House ChiefAdvisor, Dr. Anthony Fauci,

says people who havealready been vaccinated

may need to get booster shots.

And an annual vaccine may be needed,

similar to the seasonal flu shot.

- I believe by the time weget to the end of the summer

and the beginning of thefall, we'll have a pretty good

idea whether we definitelyor not need to give people

boosts and when we needto give it to them.

- [Dale] Every state has nowexpanded vaccine eligibility

to all people 16 and older.

And Pfizer has begun testingits vaccine on children

as young as six months old.

This California couple'sseven-month-old son

will take part in the trial this week.

- When we weigh the risksof getting the vaccine

versus the virus, it'sclear, let's do the vaccine.

- [Dale] Meanwhile, Johnsonand Johnson's single shot

vaccine is still on hold after six women

suffered severe blood clots.

That's out of seven million vaccinations.

Fauci says he expects thepause to be lifted this week,

possibly with new restrictions.

- I'm not sure what that willbe, whether there'll be age

or sex, or whether they'll just come back

with a warning of some sort.

- The White House islaunching a media blitz today

to get out the word thatvaccines are available

for everyone over 16, especiallyin minority communities.

Dale Hurd, CBN News.

- Thanks, Dale.

Well CBN Medical Reporter, Lorie Johnson,

is here for more on those vaccines.

Lorie, is this J and J vaccine suspension

just an overreaction?

- A lot of health expertssay it absolutely is

an overreaction, becausewhen you think about it,

the chance of having one ofthese types of blood clots

is close to zero, Pat.

You know, people say, "Oh, it'sa one in a million chance."

This is actually more rare than that.

We're talking about six casesout of seven million people.

And when you talk about thedeaths, we're talking one

out of seven million, which is actually

a very good safety record.

It's better than the safety record

for a lot of our otherpopular medications,

including penicillin and Tylenol.

So the big takeaway,Pat, is if you're worried

about blood clots, you havea 10 times greater chance

of having a serious, maybeeven deadly blood clot,

if you get COVID-19.

This is something we've been talking

about for the last year.

So it's still very rare.

And blood clots are a veryoften serious and deadly

complication from gettingthe COVID-19 virus.

- I'll give my personal thing.

I had the J and J vaccine.

I have had not one twinge of problem.

There was no pain at theplace they made the injection.

I've had no ill effects whatsoever.

I mean, not even theslightest headache, nothing.

So I'm a great fan of that one shot deal.

So, well, how close do you think we are

to the so-called tippingpoint where we can say,

okay, we've got victory over the pandemic.

- Well, Pat first I would like to say,

thank you so much for your testimonial

about the J and J vaccine.

I'm sure you're going toinfluence a lot of people

and may save lives in the process.

And I would just like to add to that,

I am also fully vaccinated.

I had the Pfizer shotsand I also didn't have

any side effects whatsoever.

But to get back to yourquestion about when are we going

to finally be finished with this pandemic?

Well, I'd like to say thatonce you're fully vaccinated,

you kind of are finished.

You can sort of go about life as usual,

but as far as the nation, whenare we going to be finished?

The health experts say right now

we still have too many new cases.

We're averaging about67,000 new cases per day.

That's even higher than the 50,000 we saw

this time last month.

And that's because of thosenew, highly contagious variants.

We know that the goal isless than where we are now,

but the goal is not zero.

The question is what is that number?

Last week, Congressman JimJordan grilled Anthony Fauci.

What is the goal?

Where is the finish line?

Is it 10,000 new cases a day?

Is it 5,000 new cases a day?

And Fauci wouldn't say.

He basically said we'llknow it when we see it.

- Lorie, well, one last thing.

If you've had the vaccine,

do you still have togo around with a mask?

I understand it takes aboutthree weeks, four weeks,

or something for it to take hold.

And then do you then have to wear a mask?

What's the protocol?

- Well, the protocol is twoweeks after your last shot.

So in your case, you onlyhad the one and only shot.

I had two shots.

So it's two weeks after your last shot

and you are fully vaccinated

and you can basically go about business.

Now, whether you have to wearmask or socially distance,

that's very controversial.

The CDC said that there'sno evidence that shows

that you can transmit it to other people,

but other people, such as Anthony Fauci,

say there's a study going on.

The results will comeout in about four months.

That will say definitivelywhether vaccinated people

have the ability to transmit the virus.

So it's sort of a judgment call.

- It's an amazing thing, thatsocially distance six feet.

That, I understand, isfrom a dead Italian.

And it's only three feet and it's not six,

but we've got six all over the country.

Am I right there?

- Well, we'll certainly learn.

It's going to be fascinating to see

in the years after this pandemic

to look back and see where we got it right

and where we got it wrong andlearn from those mistakes.

Because, God forbid, we maybe facing another pandemic

one of these days.

- Lorie, thank you so much.

Thanks for your insight.

Well, in other news, ladies and gentlemen,

closer than ever to creatingweapon grade uranium.

That's what Iran is now claiming,

despite the sabotageagainst one of his key

nuclear facilities in Natanz.

Efrem Graham has more.

(whooshing)

- Pat, Iran is increasingits uranium enrichment,

after accusing Israelof sabotaging its main

nuclear facility last week.

Iranian President, HassanRouhani, vowing they can go

to 90% weapons grade uraniumanytime they want to.

Although the 2015 Iran Nuclear Agreement

restricts enrichment to less than 4%.

- The Iranian decision tostart increasing uranium

to 60% is disturbing.

It is, I think, a signal toIsrael and to the world powers

that it is not going tobe deterred by attacks

on its nuclear facilities.

Iran is trying to increase its leverage

in the talks in Vienna.

- We will do whateverit takes to prevent this

(indistinct) to successand definitely to prevent

this regime from having nuclear weapons.

- Meanwhile in Vienna, Iranand the five powers who

signed the original nuclearagreement reportedly

are ready to begin writinga draft of a new agreement.

Israel's diplomaticsecurity cabinet met Sunday.

They're concerned the Biden Administration

wants a nuclear deal at all costs.

Here at home the BidenAdministration is falling short

of its campaign pledgeto admit more refugees

into the country.

Friday, President Bidensigned an executive order

speeding up refugee admission,but keeping in place

President Donald Trump's cap of 15,000.

That's far short of his promise to admit

some 62,000 refugees this year.

Following an outcry from some Democrats,

the Administration promisedit will allow more refugees

into the country.

However, on ABC's "ThisWeek," Secretary of State

Anthony Blinken, accusedthe Trump Administration

of dismantling the systemand said it's unlikely

they'll reach their goal.

- Based on what we've now seen,in terms of the inheritance

and being able to lookat what was in place,

what we could put in place,

how quickly we could put it in place,

it's gonna be very hard to meetthe 62,000 this fiscal year.

- Saturday President Bidentold reporters the flood

of migrants on thesouthern border is to blame

for the lack of resourcesto help refugees.

The President calling that situation

a crisis for the first time.

Pat, back to you.

- You know, it's amazing, isn't it?

They shift as they go.

They have opened the doors.

They said it wasn't a crisis.

Now it's a crisis.

And you know, everytime you look at Biden,

you know, when he was in the Senate,

you could see he wasclear, his face was open.

His eyes were open.

Now every time you see himhis eyes are squinting,

which tells me he's reading from a script

almost every time he talks.

That somebody is writing what he says.

And it also shows in thischange that "The Squad,"

that group of extreme left-wingers

in the House is calling the shots.

And when they don't like whathe does, then he shifts gears.

And I just think it's adangerous situation to have

the President of the UnitedStates kind of a pawn

to a group of left-wing sort of fanatics.

And the fact that it seemslike everything that he says

is scripted and he's reading it.

When he did that press conference,he was reading everything

that he said, and it's just,there's something wrong.

And one wishes that thePresident was as strong

as he could be, 'causewe need strong leadership

in this country.

Efrem?

- Pat, when it comes to religious freedom,

there's no question.

Saudi Arabia has a long wayto go, but it's also true

few countries can boast the type of change

happening in that kingdom today.

Jennifer Wishon explains.

(whooshing)

- Christmas trees?

Even talk of a future Christian Church?

No, this isn't a fantasy.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is making

and considering changesonce thought impossible.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabiais incrementally moving

in the right direction.

- [Jennifer] Johnnie Moore,who sits on the U.S. Commission

on International ReligiousFreedom, never thought

religious liberty inSaudi Arabia was possible.

Now he thinks it's inevitable.

It's still illegal forChristians to worship publicly,

but in recent years, theKingdom's religious police

have eased off raiding worship services.

- I would love one day, youknow, to celebrate Christmas

on the Arabian Peninsula.

And this year, by the way,they allowed Christmas trees,

in the Kingdom.

And increasingly, you know,the rumors that Saudi Arabia

might actually considerhaving a Christian Church

in the Kingdom, in some capacity.

At this point, these are all rumors.

But the very fact that theyare rumors is significant.

- Especially in light of CrownPrince Mohammad bin Salman's

aim to reform theKingdom's judicial system,

Sharia law based on a strictinterpretation of the Koran.

One that's not tolerant of other faiths.

Is this a pretty big deal?

- For the Crown Princeof Saudi Arabia to say,

no, we're gonna have lawslike the rest of the world.

And we're gonna putthose laws down on paper.

I mean, this is an astonishing reform.

- [Jennifer] Watchdog groupsalso point to improvements

in the Kingdom's schooltextbooks, removing some hateful

references to Jews,Christians, and others.

- Increasingly, we'reseeing strong leadership

throughout the Arab world thatis pushing back on extremism

and saying, it's not enoughto stop the extremists.

The real way of stoppingextremism is raising a generation

that doesn't have to fearthose who worship differently.

- [Jennifer] Incrementalmoves that may one day lead

to Muslims, Christians,and Jews coexisting

on the Arabian Peninsula.

Jennifer Wishon, CBN News.

- Significant changes indeed.

Pat?

- You know, in the earlydays of Saudi Arabia,

the fanatical group, theWahhabis, were the most

ardent or fundamentalistIslamics in the world, probably.

And they backed King IbnSaud when he rose to power.

And so there was a dealbetween these people

that they handle the religion

and Saud handle the government.

And that's been going on for centuries,

but what's happening nowis there's a new breeze

going through and especiallywith the Abraham Accords,

where the Emirates and Qatar and other

states in the Middle Easthave joined with Israel

in a new concordant

and they are setting the pace.

And it looks like SaudiArabia is going to come in

and make peace with Israel,which they should do.

And once that happens,you've got the wealth

of Saudi Arabia, coupled with the

entrepreneurial spirit of the Jews

and the two will be a power house.

And it looks like that'sthe fulfillment of prophecy,

so it's a good thing.

But the Wahhabi influenceapparently is diminishing

and this new Prince says,no, we want a new day

because we've gotta make peace with Israel

and the Abraham Accordsthat were put together

under the auspices ofPresident Trump are very, very

significant and if Saudicomes in and makes peace

with Israel, it's a great thing.

So we'll all say to that, Hallelujah!
