00:03:16.880
she's an accomplished teacher she joins us now welcome uh janette hi glenn thank you for having me on
00:03:26.820
your show why what what what has given you the courage to be able to do this well it started out
00:03:37.940
with the school district not properly um working with my son who has a 504 plan and some mental health
00:03:45.160
issues and so i pulled him out of the beaverton schools uh one week before governor brown um put the
00:03:53.120
shut down on everybody because of covid and it was just to get his grades up we moved from texas
00:04:00.380
just a few months prior to that and he went from a straight a student to an f student and skipping
00:04:06.760
school regularly because he didn't feel like he belonged and they weren't servicing his 504
00:04:12.980
and uh which is against the law um so as time went on of course we're on lockdowns he wants to go
00:04:21.540
back to a campus and i can't let him go back to a campus because schools are shut down so along came
00:04:27.420
december and uh this opportunity came up i was actually thinking of going back in the classroom
00:04:32.080
because i did renew my teaching credential here in oregon i originally got my credential in oregon
00:04:36.580
many years ago and i um uh decided to run i i prayed about it and this is the direction that i'm supposed
00:04:47.100
to go and then when we were deciding on my platform um i knew about critical race theory i knew about
00:04:54.560
comprehensive sexuality education and um i decided to run against them i knew it was going to cause
00:05:00.620
controversy but wow i did not know antifa was going to start going after me um there's one person
00:05:06.980
in antifa who uh went on my facebook page i received a thousand dollar donation from a gentleman named
00:05:14.620
ben edel with free oregon and they started blaming me taking money from proud boys and ben has nothing
00:05:22.440
to do with the proud boys he is a very uh upstanding citizen who lost his business in downtown portland
00:05:29.260
due to antifa riots and due to uh the shutdown of governor brown that is still occurring to this day
00:05:36.380
people don't understand we're still shut down in oregon big time and um so antifa started coming
00:05:42.620
after me and that just put the firestorm and that was about two weeks ago but you know when you have
00:05:47.980
bullies um threatening you calling you all hours of the night um leaving nasty messages all over your
00:05:55.420
facebook page what do you do you stand up to them and that's what i taught my students for 23 years
00:06:00.780
i've been in education you stand up to your bullies and you face them down and you say no you're not going
00:06:07.340
to silence me i am a human being i deserve to have my voice heard just like you do and if you don't
00:06:13.820
like my platform and that's okay but we cannot have critical race theory in our schools it is teaching
00:06:20.140
racism they're trying to get rid of racism with racism that makes absolutely no sense to me so that's
00:06:26.780
why i decided to run and it was going really well until two weeks ago and then the teachers union
00:06:33.340
started coming after me with some teachers who are staunch teachers union advocates and then one
00:06:39.500
of the teachers there got a hold of one of their her antifa friends and that's where the firestorm
00:06:45.020
started so now they steal my yard signs they call me all these nasty names and um i'm standing strong
00:06:52.460
i'm standing against them and people are tired i'm out talking to people either on the phone through email
00:06:58.940
face to face at the door and people want change they do not want critical race theories in the
00:07:04.700
in the classroom i had one young lady two days ago tell me she has a one and four year old and she um
00:07:12.780
wants her kids to be safe in school she wants them to learn correct history she wants them to be little
00:07:19.420
kids you know learning the basics of reading writing arithmetic art music and that's what schools are meant to be
00:07:27.660
educational facilities and not ideological camps where propaganda is pushed and i've been in education
00:07:35.100
long enough to know um that what we're currently having is not okay it was in the colleges and now
00:07:42.860
we have a whole generation of teachers who are indoctrinated in this and so they brought it down to the
00:07:48.700
k-12 system and we have to stand up and fight we cannot be silent anymore um or our whole country
00:07:56.140
is going to be in peril we're talking to jeanette uh shada she is running for school board um up at the
00:08:04.940
uh in beaverton up in the uh portland area jeanette uh first of all is your family safe
00:08:13.980
i believe so um i we have to be extra vigilant of course because antifa um has made some
00:08:20.620
veiled threats um both through facebook and through phone calls um i have called the police
00:08:27.740
but they basically said unless something happens there's nothing they can do which is very interesting
00:08:33.740
um i i support the police 100 but it's unfortunate with how volatile antifa is and you just don't know
00:08:43.260
what's going to happen i'm not scared for my safety i still go out i still uh block walk i still um do
00:08:50.700
fine waves just wednesday i was doing fine waves um on a busy intersection in beaverton and uh the same
00:08:59.020
person who put out the information uh to start this firestorm put out another post saying oh jeanette
00:09:06.300
shot is standing on this corner or go to her so about five black lives matter people showed up um
00:09:12.220
but we stood there anyway and i actually talked with them one was a 13 year old girl and you know
00:09:19.500
she she's been indoctrinated in this stuff and it's unfortunate they wanted to yell at me after you know
00:09:26.140
we had it we actually had a pretty decent conversation until i told them that they really need to learn the
00:09:31.180
true history of the united states and then they started yelling at me about how this country is
00:09:35.260
built on the backs of slaves and things like that and i said well that's your opinion and i i stood there
00:09:41.020
our event was 4 30 to 6 30 they showed up about six o'clock and we stayed till 6 30 because i'm not
00:09:47.580
going to back down i'm not going to run away um there are people before we go any good for you
00:09:54.780
before we go any further i want to make sure we get to this
00:09:58.060
do you have enough volunteers i don't even know how many listeners we have in in the beaverton area
00:10:04.460
but do you have enough volunteers are you looking for donations how can this audience help you
00:10:11.260
yeah if you go to buildbackbasics.com um you can donate there um i am always looking for volunteers i
00:10:20.620
have a great volunteer um team right now and we have been pushing hard ever since february and
00:10:27.900
we're still pushing hard um i received uh 15 new volunteer submissions over the last week and i do
00:10:36.620
talk to every single one of them um to make sure you know their their heart is in it and um because
00:10:44.940
it takes courage to stand and do this even when i've been in the local news and they've seen um the
00:10:52.060
nastiness on facebook from people some of these people are teachers that are teaching your children
00:10:57.580
you know they're making these vile nasty comments and i'm just like come on people this is america
00:11:03.500
you know if you don't like my platform then go to the ballot box and vote but you don't need the
00:11:07.900
vitriol um here but buildbackbasics.com is where people can go to learn more and i do answer my phone
00:11:16.940
um i now i i let it go to voicemail a lot because i don't know the phone numbers but i will call back
00:11:22.540
and people are surprised that it's me and not somebody else because i don't have a campaign
00:11:26.380
manager i'm i'm managing my campaign i have a very good media team that i hired um who's handling the
00:11:33.660
social media side but um other than that i don't uh me and a few people that are backing me i don't
00:11:40.940
know if you have followed what happened in south lake texas but there's a national story about it
00:11:45.580
again today in south lake texas we had the same exact thing and the city was kind of asleep and uh
00:11:52.380
just didn't think that critical race theory was uh was a big deal and then they started to be calling
00:11:58.860
you know some parents were called racist for bringing up wait a minute what are we teaching
00:12:02.700
here uh and the election because of the strong pushback the election uh went in favor of those
00:12:11.820
who were questioning and wanted critical race theory out there were three board members uh that were
00:12:17.180
voted in new on the on your platform and they won 70 to 30 uh and i thought that was pretty amazing
00:12:25.340
that was a county that voted for joe biden by the way yeah and i've been following that story and that
00:12:31.820
goes to show the silent majority they are tired of this like i said i'm out there um campaigning every
00:12:39.180
day and talking with people and so are my volunteers and the stories that come in people are so tired of
00:12:45.900
this they're afraid for their children to be indoctrinated with this false narrative of if you're born white
00:12:53.180
that you are inherently racist and if you are born of a brown or black skin that you are a victim of the
00:13:00.860
system no i taught kids of all races all nationalities all languages and what i taught them is they are
00:13:09.740
excellent human beings and have every opportunity in the world to pull themselves up i had one gentleman
00:13:14.940
named pierre um when i worked in texas at the alternative campus he was in a gang life he was
00:13:21.820
half black half white and he came to me with tears down his face not knowing what to do he had a
00:13:27.820
two-year-old well at the time he had a two-year-old little girl and um i helped him find the opportunity
00:13:34.060
to pull out to make sure that he had a better life than what his parents gave him because his parents were
00:13:40.860
gang and gangs and drug dealers and he didn't want that for himself these kids are crying out they want
00:13:48.060
supportive adults there for them and in america underneath the constitution united states it's
00:13:54.140
equality for all that means we all have the opportunity to grasp onto something positive
00:14:00.860
and make things of it yes this country had slavery yes we have racism but you know what the civil rights
00:14:08.780
movement while the civil war you know we pulled out of slavery there and even before then the founding
00:14:13.500
fathers didn't want slavery here they tried to get rid of it in the articles of confederation
00:14:18.300
and then the civil rights movement with martin luther king jr judge a person by the content of the
00:14:23.100
character not an immutable quality like skin color a god-given gift that we all have and um now critical
00:14:31.100
race theory is making a u-turn and going pre-civil rights and re-institutionalizing racism doing the
00:14:38.060
exact opposite of what it's what they're claiming it's meant to do jeanette you give me great hope
00:14:45.660
and i hope there are more teachers out there and more parents out there like you that are willing to
00:14:51.260
do the tough thing you are in really a dangerous situation and we will keep you in our prayers i would
00:14:57.900
ask everybody who prays in this audience to put jeanette on her on your prayer list um but uh i i
00:15:06.300
congratulate you i your election is coming up i think in what next week or the week after yeah
00:15:12.460
may 18th is the last uh day by eight o'clock um but that doesn't end there when myself sarah lynn and
00:15:20.540
fuwa get on the school board because we're running together on the same platform when we get onto the
00:15:25.660
school board um that's when the real work begins because we have to undo a lot of what the superintendent
00:15:33.500
rotting and this current school board has done um and and we need to get schools back to being
00:15:39.580
educational facilities and not indoctrination camps that they're becoming and everybody needs to stand
00:15:45.580
up and have a voice in that i am so glad to know you we will call you the day after the election and
00:15:51.900
hopefully have you on the on the show uh as a victor um congratulations and thank you thank you from
00:16:00.060
the bottom of my heart uh from even my family i know they're not going to be affected directly uh

00:16:10.940
for that jeanette um that is uh i appreciate it that is uh jeanette shada you can find her at her
00:16:18.700
website buildbackbasics.com the best of the glenbeck program
00:16:29.980
spring is finally here i know minnesota keep it down we know not until august for you but for the
00:16:48.540
rest of the country spring is starting to come and i don't know about you but i love to grill outdoors
00:16:54.620
it's so easy now because of rec tech there's something about being outdoors in the spring that
00:17:00.460
goes well with a rec tech imagine that big juicy steak or that delicious hamburger maybe a big old slab
00:17:06.700
a rib slathered in barbecue sauce that's slowly smoking to absolute perfection oh my gosh my mouth is
00:17:13.220
laundering rec tech does it all smoking grilling baking i have one made of stainless steel it's built
00:17:19.940
like a tank and has smart grill technology which means i don't burn anything anymore and every time
00:17:25.780
you can control the whole process from an app on your phone or your device you're gonna love rec tech
00:17:31.620
follow rec tech on all social media sign up for their newsletter and then go to rec tech with a q.com
00:17:37.700
r-e-c-t-e-q.com you won't believe the difference bill o'reilly so why does the mob love joe biden
00:17:46.380
okay so um killing the mob is a uh history of organized crime and we take you right up to the
00:17:53.780
present moment so a hundred days ago when joe biden came in the first thing he did was knock out all the
00:18:00.660
border protections that donald trump had installed it took trump three years to get the border under
00:18:07.340
control he finally did all right in a day biden knocked out all the border protections stopped the
00:18:15.120
building of the wall and basically stopped people from um being confined to mexico they could come
00:18:22.760
across in that time 400 000 migrants have arrived in the new in the united states illegally now some
00:18:31.340
of those want asylum but it's 400 000 just picture that from brownsville to san diego 400 000 foreign
00:18:39.220
nationals are here in 100 days what that did was it diverted all of the border patrol's attention and
00:18:46.480
every other federal agency on the border to care for those people to feed them to shelter them
00:18:52.480
to process them so what then was that was lacking drug interdiction that was left to the side
00:19:02.920
because all of the people in charge of the drug interdiction had to be used to help the migrants
00:19:10.240
are you with me so far yep yep the result of that go ahead i was going to say i i think you could go a
00:19:18.480
step further not only is nobody paying attention okay go ahead okay i'm sorry all of the resources
00:19:24.060
that were used under the trump administration to stop narcotics from coming to the united states
00:19:29.240
were gone the result was a flood of fentanyl heroin methamphetamine and cocaine into this country
00:19:38.740
who controls the distribution of those drugs to the areas of the countries the mafia
00:19:45.520
still controls all of it the deal organized crime american organized crime has with the mexican
00:19:52.540
cartels is you make it you ship it but you don't come here see there are no mexican cartels here in
00:20:00.040
the united states because the american mobsters will not permit it the american mobsters never see the
00:20:07.280
drugs they franchise the drugs out to drug gangs these are the people murdering children in chicago
00:20:14.300
new york la and every other big city okay they are the ones that retail the drugs to the addicts on
00:20:21.400
the street the mafia doesn't see that but the mafia controls that they allow the drug gangs to operate
00:20:28.820
and the drug gangs then pay them an enormous amount of money for the privilege of selling drugs in
00:20:37.580
harlem or in bed stuy or in compton california that's how it works so today there are more drugs in the usa than
00:20:47.840
any other time in history and the mafia chieftains love biden because biden has an open border policy
00:20:56.540
there you go let me ask let me ask you this um the first of all there's also the benefit directly
00:21:04.600
to the cartels not necessarily the u.s mob but the cartels because they're making about 14 million
00:21:11.100
dollars a day on human trafficking across the border so there's another boom industry for them
00:21:17.480
the human trafficking is chump change compared to what they make um importing hard drugs into this
00:21:24.560
country right hard drugs a billion dollar industry all of our social problems right the opioid crisis
00:21:30.820
organized crime homeless organized crime who do you think these homeless people are
00:21:36.120
they're drug addicts they can't work they can't pay a mortgage they have to sit out there and they
00:21:42.920
want to sit out there many of them and get high all day long you say how about some rehab they look at
00:21:48.460
you like you know come on not all of them some of them want to improve but a lot of them don't
00:21:54.680
well that's all drug related violent crime through the roof murders you report it i report it what
00:22:01.560
is that who are doing that the drug gangs are doing it it's not bonnie and clyde walking out of
00:22:06.720
their house machine gunning people down it's drug gangs in the poor why were we willing why were we
00:22:13.440
willing to look at uh the mobsters uh in the 1930s uh and not willing to look at the drug gangs today
00:22:23.600
because there's a race component today so i did a search on billoreilly.com as you know we do the
00:22:29.500
no spin news every night i told my crack staff find me one article one that explains the massive
00:22:36.000
amount of narcotics that are being shipped into the united states since joe biden is president
00:22:40.760
not one no local reporting no national reporting nothing i'm the guy that's reporting it i'm the guy
00:22:49.580
now you ask a very good question back why why did organized crime get all the headlines in the past
00:22:57.740
but now we don't hear anything about it because the organized crime industry is narcotics they do a
00:23:05.480
little sports betting they do a little prostitution they own the porn industry yeah but that's not what
00:23:10.700
they really do and the narcotics are centered in the inner cities so there's a racial component there
00:23:18.680
the murders in chicago are 90 african-american that's why nothing's done nothing's discussed
00:23:26.080
they don't want it they don't they won't do it it's too explosive for the press to cover it and the
00:23:32.780
politicians forget it forget it i mean they have no clue they don't care and it's just business as
00:23:40.180
usual so i want to go ahead i want to ask you i have to take another break but when we come back i want
00:23:47.400
to talk to you about um the labor unions and what uh biden is doing with the labor unions i mean it is
00:23:55.920
i've never seen anything like i don't even know if fdr was did it did as much for the labor unions as
00:24:04.360
joe biden is and historically the labor unions have been run by the mob are they still and what does that
00:24:12.220
mean more with bill o'reilly coming up in just a second by the way his new book is called killing
00:24:17.640
the mob it's a fantastic history book you'll love it bill o'reilly killing the mob it's available
00:24:23.600
wherever you buy books today let me take you to the mob in the labor unions and we have now this push
00:24:33.740
for labor unions unlike i've seen at any time in my life i remember in the 70s when labor unions were
00:24:42.200
being pushed um but it was there was there was an outcry for some of those labor unions uh back then
00:24:49.440
by regular people or so it seemed to me you know i was i was younger um and so it seemed to me just
00:24:56.280
watching things that there was some call for labor unions because it was out of balance right now
00:25:01.900
americans do not want labor unions and they are we are being smothered by very powerful labor unions
00:25:09.880
like the teachers union connections to the mob some unions uh in the united states of trump um i have a
00:25:18.440
big chapter on how uh president trump when he was a businessman in new york had to deal with the
00:25:24.940
concrete union that put up his buildings and that was a mafia run operation and trump admits it he says i
00:25:31.260
had these guys in my office and i had to negotiate with them because they ran the union in uh killing
00:25:36.340
the mob i take you minute by minute through the assassination of jimmy hoffa the teamsters union
00:25:41.920
boss who was mobbed up but today some mobs are compromised because of the pension funds of course there are
00:25:49.720
billions of dollars in those funds pension funds uh and unions were used to build las vegas that whole
00:25:56.460
city was built on mob pension fund money um the teachers unions in america very powerful and um what
00:26:04.500
the biden administration democratic party uh is doing is putting together a coalition of union workers
00:26:11.680
of african americans of other minority people and of white liberals particularly women and that
00:26:21.120
coalition gave them power that defeated donald trump and they want to enhance that coalition
00:26:27.480
and unions are a part of that that is why you're seeing all the goodies being given to the unions
00:26:34.940
and even if the unions hurt the uh the folks the united states as the teacher unions are certainly doing
00:26:42.300
with covid it doesn't matter it doesn't matter the democratic party are going to enhance their power
00:26:47.960
as much as possible um bill there's one story that uh we covered this week and i i don't think anybody
00:26:54.620
else was covering it and and i highly recommend it to you especially because of the unions and mob
00:26:59.720
connections um but uh a little known uh uh benefit for the united states uh federal reserve uh and i guess
00:27:10.940
for the labor unions in some way or another is in covid emergency relief i was wondering
00:27:17.500
who is going to bail out the fed i mean you know everybody's too big to fail the fed has nine
00:27:23.440
trillion dollars now on their balance sheet how are they going to get rid of that how are they going
00:27:28.160
to sell all of those bonds when nobody is buying apparently in the covid uh relief they're now the fed is
00:27:35.240
now allowed to sell to anyone where they couldn't do that before so now they can sell to anyone on the
00:27:41.460
open market well guess who is now required as of 2022 to invest one third of their pension funds
00:27:50.140
in treasury bills the unions what i mean you know cozy little cozy little loop yeah total scam it's a
00:28:02.180
scam total scam i mean because we are now on the hook for the pensions too this is how the federal
00:28:07.880
government works all right so whoever has power tries to engineer things behind the scenes to
00:28:16.040
keep power to get more power so if the unions are supporting the democratic party and there are
00:28:22.760
billions of dollars to be invested why not invested in the democratic party which would be the fed right
00:28:32.020
now because the fed has to prop up or at least try the biden administration's economic policies um so
00:28:39.820
this is like always been there but now it's on steroids because nobody watches see the diminishment of the
00:28:48.820
press the corruption of the corporate media um has led to more and more and more corruption on the part of the
00:28:56.780
federal government because nobody's watching them they don't watch them and and so they can do what they want
00:29:04.580
to do i mean organized crime was able to to assemble more power than any other entity in the united states from
00:29:11.740
1946 to 1962 because there was not one federal agency investigating them j edgar hoover refused to do it because the
00:29:22.160
mob had stuff on hoover so they ran wild and it's the same thing now with the politicians if you're a liberal
00:29:30.060
democrat no one is going to report on you and i go back to this horrendous drug border situation that not
00:29:37.920
one reporter has even mentioned so we're living in a corrupt country right now back the country is corrupt
00:29:47.300
i know i know i know unfortunately and i think that we are we are losing our fbi i talked to a former fbi
00:29:55.040
agent uh just this week off the air and he said for the first time in my life i see what's going on
00:30:03.340
inside the fbi and the justice department and i am afraid there is no justice in the country that if you
00:30:11.840
are on the wrong side of whoever is now in charge that they will use the justice department in the fbi
00:30:19.880
and they will they'll get you if they want yeah that's terrifying yeah the fbi chief is merrick
00:30:26.520
garland now merrick garland is a party apparatchik he always has been um now you can make the same
00:30:32.520
charge to william bar but bar really hosed trump he did in the end he did all right yep he hosed
00:30:40.080
all right now merrick garland he's gonna do what the trump uh not the trump the biden people tell
00:30:47.880
him to do not joe biden again and go back to the president he doesn't know what's going on
00:30:52.020
he he has no capacity this is a this is a machine this is a machine let me let me switch topics before
00:30:59.060
we run out of time the chinese rocket launcher crashing to earth i want to play something from
00:31:04.940
the u.s military the same military that uh you know came out this week the chairman of the joint
00:31:11.220
chiefs one of the key strengths of our military is diversity our cia released a recruiting video that
00:31:18.820
was all about being woke and uh you know a cisgender person that has an anxiety disorder strangely but
00:31:26.940
i'm now working for the cia this is what our military said about this gigantic rocket launcher
00:31:35.740
that is falling to earth and would be catastrophic if it lands on population listen to this both of you
00:31:42.580
what is the latest estimate of when and where this chinese rocket will come down do you consider it
00:31:52.280
a potential threat to the u.s and do you have a plan for shooting it down if necessary
00:32:07.000
the latest estimates estimates that i've seen is somewhere between the eighth and ninth uh
00:32:11.960
you know and the experts are still working on that uh at this point we we don't have a plan to shoot
00:32:18.920
the rocket down we're hopeful that that it will land and uh in a place where it won't uh won't harm
00:32:26.120
anyone uh hopefully in the ocean or someplace like that now bill i'm hopeful that the everything the chinese
00:32:35.880
military says about coming after the united states i'm hopeful that that's just fantasy but i think we should
00:32:43.800
prepare what does that say about our military and our state of preparedness well i don't think they
00:32:52.040
can shoot down a stupid rocket anyway even if they wanted to but uh i i love the guy's demeanor i mean
00:32:58.360
you know uh we hope it falls in the ocean or someplace like that what i mean a lake i mean
00:33:06.680
or or australia or australia someplace like that yeah so i mean i think we're all just going to have
00:33:14.600
to take our chances here which of course increases the anxiety disorder that i have i you know forget
00:33:22.360
about the cia um because it's becoming apparent to me that the biden administration they're not hiring
00:33:30.520
the best and brightest are you getting that feeling back yes yeah the guys are in charge of well um we
00:33:37.960
really don't know where it's gonna go and we hope it goes someplace like the ocean but maybe a lake would
00:33:46.360
be okay all right hang on one last one last question for you yeah next next week wednesday new york
00:33:55.960
opens again the new york times wrote a story about it's coming so fast i don't know what to do people
00:34:04.520
are panicking uh can we still wear our masks how do we deal with this what is it going to be like
00:34:13.320
in new york next week well people are going to still wear the mask back because most of them are
00:34:19.720
breaking into stores and stealing stuff so the mask hides their identity right that right yeah we don't
00:34:27.160
have a mask problem here because most of the people are masked up so they can commit crimes so de
00:34:33.720
blasio is cleverly cleverly you know protecting people from covid by encouraging criminal crime you
00:34:41.560
see the brilliance of that i know it is brilliant it is brilliant just like a socialist to do that
00:34:46.360
it is but it's a mental dis it really is a mental disorder with many people in california
00:34:53.560
and the northeast because they have been indoctrinated on this it's it's craziness
00:35:00.760
but many of them are not good-looking people so there's a vested interest all right where the
00:35:07.960
mask all right all right i may you wear a mask for the rest of your life uh bill o'reilly thank you so
00:35:13.800
much um we will this a note to the producers make sure that we have bill on maybe on tuesday of next
00:35:20.120
week or whenever he has time to talk about the mob because it is a great book and i'm fascinated by the
00:35:24.840
stories and i think the audience will be too uh it is uh killing the mob by bill o'reilly available
00:35:29.960
wherever you buy books now thanks bill okay back we'll talk next week thank you for being generous
00:35:35.080
appreciate it this is the best of the glenn beck program and don't forget rate us on itunes
00:35:50.520
we are uh we are back and we are joined by sylvia bennett stone the executive director of voices for
00:35:57.240
black mothers united um sylvia i know it's painful on this weekend to talk about what got you
00:36:05.080
to where you are but can you start there yes absolutely and thank you for having me on
00:36:13.160
i can play over and over in my head on july 4th 2004 when my daughter and her best friend were shot
00:36:23.720
with one bullet caught in the crossfire of guys shooting at each other now i played this back over
00:36:33.720
in my head because if the police was there could they have de-escalated and stopped them from
00:36:42.440
shooting or deterred them from shooting and perhaps if that happened the girls would be alive today
00:36:54.360
can't imagine um without the police right now and yes i do agree with you in terms of activities that
00:37:07.080
that some police officers may do that is outside of what they're sworn to do however we need the police to
00:37:17.080
regulate in our communities we really do the number of shootings right now and and violent killings is
00:37:28.200
just off the charts i have talked to so many african-american parents and grandparents that say
00:37:36.200
they are afraid uh of some of the youth in their community and it's a new kind of thing uh that uh
00:37:46.200
there is this this drug culture that has taken over and if your kids don't get caught up into it
00:37:54.840
your kids can be killed by it easily and they need the police i talked to some people who are marching
00:38:01.240
with black lives matter and didn't believe any of the stuff that black lives matter says politically
00:38:07.240
but they were i said why are you here then and they said because we need help somebody needs to do
00:38:13.640
something we need help so how is your organization how can we help you and what is your organization
00:38:21.800
designed to do okay we have three initiatives three primary initiatives and one that is advocacy we want to
00:38:32.920
help heal those who've been affected by violence their children or family member have been killed and we want
00:38:40.520
to help them to help them heal and get better but that healing also helps heal their communities
00:38:47.400
it helps heal their surroundings when someone see me doing better in me doing positive things
00:38:54.680
in my community we're hoping that becomes contagious and that's the healing and advocacy part of it
00:39:02.920
we have i think the hang on before we before we move on i i don't know if you remember i think it was
00:39:09.640
about the same time you lost your daughter the amish shooting uh where all of those girls were shot and
00:39:16.920
the healing that happened in that community was phenomenal because of forgiveness and perspective
00:39:25.080
and i i i just feel i mean there i don't want to live like the amish but i feel like we'd be a lot
00:39:31.560
better off if we were amish you know and had that attitude and if we learn to forgive you know yes one of
00:39:39.240
the things that i teach our youth in the community is this five self-check you know one know your triggers
00:39:49.240
don't go into communities you know you're having issues with someone over there those are the type
00:39:56.200
things that bring and and make this escalate into something that someone is going to lose their life
00:40:04.280
and it's not it's not even necessary i can guarantee you those two guys who were shooting and killed
00:40:12.440
our girls probably don't even know what they were shooting over at this point in time but yet i'm left
00:40:19.560
with a lifetime of a of a broken heart because of something that was could have been solved or resolved
00:40:31.160
but yet me myself as other thousands and thousands of other mothers we're left with broken hearts could
00:40:41.880
you imagine the mother of a two-year-old who were sleeping in their crib and a bullet goes through the
00:40:49.640
window and kills that child no no i can't i mean i i i can't um i i've thought about this many times with
00:41:01.160
you know we've had problems in the family or or whatever and i've thought about i can't lose this
00:41:06.440
child i i mean i mean like i don't know how you even go on um and especially when it's something like
00:41:14.520
your kid being shot in a crib then they weren't involved in anything i mean it's just it's faith
00:41:21.640
shaking almost and you have more and more children innocent children that are dying just like that
00:41:33.880
so when you said a minute ago you said if the police could have intervened maybe my daughter
00:41:39.560
and her friend would be alive um how how do you deal with the like for instance the story in ohio
00:41:47.640
recently where the police did intervene and i i think they did the right thing but now they're being
00:41:54.920
charged as killers of this young teenager but they were trying to stop the other teenager from being
00:42:01.400
stabbed how do you reconcile this i personalized it okay i've experienced something that was similar
00:42:13.160
my granddaughter new high school freshman um some of the girls didn't like her and they went to her house
00:42:24.760
to jump on her with brass knuckles sticks whatever and thank god her mother was at home
00:42:33.880
and the mother had to actually get to the point to where she had to intervene with bringing her gun
00:42:45.000
outside saying you're not going to hurt my daughter this is not going to happen and me me myself as a
00:42:56.280
mother who's had to put a child in the grave i can't even imagine putting another child in a grave
00:43:03.800
because oh my gosh one else's actions who cannot to articulate how to diffuse a situation how to get out of a
00:43:14.360
situation how to walk away from a situation i will not so i told her to do whatever you have to do to protect
00:43:24.760
my granddaughter oh my gosh um note to the producers can we please bump the next guest to monday i know
00:43:34.360
it's specifically for friday but i think it will still work on monday uh and deepest apologies but i i
00:43:40.760
just want to continue our conversation here with uh sylvia um because we only got to one of the um one of
00:43:48.120
the three points of what your organization is doing and i think it's important that you express it can you
00:43:52.840
stay with us for a few more minutes oh absolutely okay um we're talking about the voices of black
00:44:00.680
mothers united initiative and i don't think that this is an organization that's going to get very much
00:44:06.280
mainstream coverage uh because it is looking at a different way of dealing with what we're dealing
00:44:14.360
and they will actually talk about the violence that is happening in their own communities and it's
00:44:21.000
got to stop and anyone who has an answer that is based in common sense and common decency i want
00:44:28.520
to support i think you feel the same way you can find out more about it at voices of black mothers dot
00:44:36.360
com also woodson center dot org we'll continue our conversation in just a minute stand by this is the
00:44:45.000
glenn beck program hello america it's friday and it's mother's day weekend uh we have bob woodson
00:44:51.640
founder and president of the woodson center author of a new book coming out red white and black that is
00:44:56.520
i haven't read it yet but i'm guessing it's a must read um sylvia bennett stone is also with us she's
00:45:02.200
the executive director of voices of black mothers united uh you can find them at voices of black mothers
00:45:08.360
united.com um sylvia i i want to talk to you about the the three pillars and uh and i'm i'm going over
00:45:18.040
the website and the first one is advocacy and if i'm not if i'm not mistaken it's advocacy family
00:45:27.800
community intervention and positive police training so let's start with advocacy what does that mean
00:45:34.200
okay advocacy meaning that we actually go into the community you try to help heal the community
00:45:43.880
we start with the mothers who've lost children's daughters and then we'll report that over into the
00:45:51.880
community where you see the mothers are healing the community can heal long as we hold on finger
00:45:59.880
in unforgiveness unforgiveness and that and then it's outside of our home as well we're losing you
00:46:11.400
again i don't know if you move to a another place no so you go into the community and okay and and you
00:46:18.040
you have volunteers from faith-based organizations but uh excuse me for saying but some faith-based
00:46:24.840
organizations are less faith-based and more political uh based uh but you are talking about
00:46:31.160
people who are really faith-based and you are bringing peace to the community and to the family
00:46:37.720
that's correct we're talking about the faith base that goes outside of the church walls we're talking
00:46:45.800
about the faith base is willing to walk the street and talk to the drug dealer and talk to the the drug user
00:46:55.160
to say this is not life this is not living because that escalates over into violence every time
00:47:05.320
let me bring bob in real quick bob do you have any results on going in and meeting with drug dealers and
00:47:12.520
meeting with uh drug addicts and and seeing positive results absolutely we if you if you go on our website and
00:47:21.560
and took um violence free zone milwaukee where we have our violence free zone efforts where neighborhood
00:47:29.160
leaders many of them ex-offenders themselves through god's grace they became transformed and they are
00:47:35.240
witnesses to others that transformation is possible uh six months ago the alliance of concern men one of
00:47:42.280
our groups in dc glenn actually went in uh is went into one of the worst crime areas and for three months
00:47:51.240
they didn't have a single act of violence three months now that should have been celebrated but it was
00:47:57.880
reported and ignored and there are other islands of excellence that have been created by people
00:48:04.280
indigenous who are faith-centered but also i want sylvia to talk about the other initiative where
00:48:11.640
mothers are working with the police at the site of a homicide and and as a consequence of of changing the
00:48:19.160
way the way the police process that they have dramatically increased the number of closures
00:48:25.720
so people are encouraged to testify with sylvia would talk about the role of mothers are playing actually
00:48:32.760
working with the police at a homicide scene and acting as a liaison with the families and as a result
00:48:39.480
of building this trust they have had some dramatic results of closing homicides can you can you talk
00:48:47.080
talk about that yes um what happens at a homicide scene you have the family who's just been notified their
00:48:55.640
loved one um has been killed a lot of times their loved one is still lying there on the ground we partner with
00:49:04.360
chief rodney moreau he's the ex police chief who saw the need to change how the homicide scene is
00:49:15.480
processed and one of the things that he brought to the forefront is that it's very difficult for
00:49:22.760
them as a police officer to assess the homicide scene in hope to get clues to close those homicides and and yet
00:49:33.240
deal with the a distraught family we as advocates we will go in with the police to homicide scenes because we
00:49:43.000
we mothers who've lost children know better how to deal with a family that's distraught and has just
00:49:51.400
received news that their child or loved one is deceased and been killed actually i think that's so i i think
00:50:00.600
that's remarkable um what are the results of that closure the police are allowed to get clues to
00:50:12.680
help solve that homicide more so than them dealing with a distraught family and then the clues and
00:50:21.800
the evidence is is messed up on the other end so they deal with their job and we deal with the family
00:50:31.240
in terms of guiding them and calming them and getting them to the point of where they know that the police at
00:50:39.160
that point is not their enemy and if they know that then a lot of times they can the police can get
00:50:48.280
information from the family that helped close their homicide so is this part of the second part of the
00:50:57.960
initiative family and community intervention uh or is this promoting positive policing because those are the
00:51:04.120
last two it is actually uh a little bit of both but it's community intervention more so because we are
00:51:13.480
out there hands-on boots on the ground with the community but another part of our community intervention
00:51:21.960
is actually doing work um in the community as a prevention measure in what way
00:51:30.440
is we have um mothers who's organized as an organization and what we do is we try to engage police and
00:51:44.600
community in conversation we just had an event in fact in alabama where the police came together with
00:51:54.200
mothers who lost children to violence there was a conversation so each side listened to one another
00:52:02.600
and as a result as a result of that the police sheriff department actually the next day re-instituted
00:52:13.320
sensitivity training of how a police officer officer should actually deal with the families
00:52:23.000
so it is you're not you're approaching the police in a different way to where it's not an adversarial
00:52:29.880
it is look we have a problem in the community and you may not understand some of this and so let's
00:52:37.160
work with you because we don't want this to happen right yeah that's correct we are 100 supporting the police
00:52:46.840
we're saying that yes there are some issues among police departments and and particular police officers
00:52:54.440
however that is not the majority majority are good police officers who sworn to protect
00:53:02.280
so we have to have that conversation where the community break down those barriers and those defenses
00:53:10.280
against police to where they can do what they're sworn to do so sylvia if i may um in in beginning to
00:53:21.400
understand what's happening the the communities that are under attack uh where their kids are being killed
00:53:29.960
that's a lot of parents that are grieving and are probably not the ones to be getting good
00:53:37.400
psychiatric uh advice or care uh on a regular basis and so the their prey to people who would
00:53:46.440
prey upon them for a political agenda or whatever kind of agenda and when these attacks continue to happen
00:53:54.200
it's not just that it's one kid uh being shot like it would be maybe in my neighborhood uh it's that
00:54:02.840
that kid has been shot and four other people on my block or in my neighborhood are also grieving
00:54:08.920
and none of us have been dealt with nobody's actually dealing with the problem and so it just keeps
00:54:14.200
getting worse and worse and worse and when you're going and you're looking for blame and everything else
00:54:19.240
i mean if you don't have help uh you know you're prone to all kinds of things is is this a too
00:54:28.120
simple of an explanation or am i on the right path at all you're on the right path one of the things
00:54:33.960
that we do um in our advocacy department we actually help people get mental health services
00:54:42.680
in fact um at our community forums we bring in a mental health specialist on the spot to where
00:54:52.520
the the victims can actually talk with them and understand that it's not a a taboo on you if you have to
00:55:04.120
have mental health services that is part of healing and if we can because i would imagine to encourage
00:55:13.080
that you have more people getting better i would imagine sylvia um just because we went through some
00:55:21.720
family therapy we we had um a suicide attempt uh in my my family in in my household with my children
00:55:30.360
this last year and uh when we went through the therapy with it he said what's your biggest fear
00:55:37.720
and i said that it happens and and i didn't do something i i i didn't know what to do i that
00:55:44.920
somehow or another i'm responsible i have to believe that i mean you you told the story of your
00:55:51.640
granddaughter um you know a mom who comes out and you know thinks i don't want to bring a gun or i don't
00:55:58.520
want to do this you if you make one mistake or you you even think that you've made a mistake that's got
00:56:08.120
to weigh you down and that's not something you deal with quickly that that has got to fester in you for
00:56:15.800
a long time it's hard i i mean i i just can't even worse can't even explain how difficult it is
00:56:25.480
however it's more difficult putting a child in the ground and saying goodbye
00:56:36.360
it's more difficult doing that than to make a sound decision should that mother sit there and allowed
00:56:46.200
eight girls to beat her daughter no not by any means is that okay
00:56:55.480
the i don't think people understand the stress uh i mean i didn't know this until i went to your
00:57:03.800
website 26 percent of parents die within the first 10 years after experiencing the trauma of losing a
00:57:10.680
child that that's an that's epidemic uh kind of numbers especially in like in chicago that's i mean
00:57:20.680
that's an epidemic it it is it's it's really an epidemic um i can tell you the mother of my daughter's
00:57:31.480
friend died right after trial she literally died of a broken heart and i know how easy that can happen
00:57:44.600
because the pain is so unbearable it's so unbearable it's so unbearable you don't know
00:57:53.160
what to do it is it's not a natural order that a parent buries a child
00:58:00.520

00:58:06.840
situation thank you so much for being on um i'd like to further a conversation and and bob the same
00:58:14.280

00:58:21.400
