00:00:00.000 Let me tell you about American Financing.

00:00:02.140 American Financing is the place that you can go to reduce your mortgage payments.

00:00:08.120 You can go to get a new mortgage.

00:00:10.700 I just got a letter in from somebody who said they got a 2.75, I think, mortgage.

00:00:15.780 Or you can consolidate your loan and roll in all of the high interest credit card debt that you have

00:00:22.100 and pay a much lower monthly payment and get that monkey off your back. 1.00

00:00:27.520 You do not want to have high interest credit cards.

00:00:30.520 It's only going to get much, much worse.

00:00:32.680 Right now, it is fairly easy to get a loan with American Financing, but please do it now.

00:00:39.300 It's going to get harder and harder and more expensive.

00:00:42.480 It's American Financing, AmericanFinancing.net, or you can call them at 800-906-2440.

00:00:49.500 They're waiting for your call right now.

00:00:50.920 Just take 10 minutes while you're thinking about it and see if they can save you a lot of money

00:00:54.740 month after month after month.

00:00:56.380 It's AmericanFinancing.net, 800-906-2440.

00:01:03.040 All right.

00:01:04.420 Thank goodness Stu is out today.

00:01:06.760 Pat Gray is going to be joining me in the program with Jordan Peterson begins next.

00:01:11.940 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:01:39.440 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:48.180 Hello, America, and welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:50.900 Yesterday, I was supposed to spend about a half an hour with Jordan Peterson, and we just

00:01:54.420 got so engrossed in our conversation that it was about an hour, and then we wrapped up and

00:02:00.780 we continued to talk, and the control room finally said, guys, you have to leave the studio.

00:02:06.920 It was a fascinating conversation with one of the greatest minds alive today.

00:02:12.080 I'm going to go through a few of it.

00:02:13.880 You'll be able to find this whole interview with Jordan Peterson lasts about an hour.

00:02:18.920 You'll find it on YouTube, available tomorrow on the Glenn Beck YouTube channel, or you can

00:02:25.060 find it right now at The Blaze.

00:02:26.860 But it is, it's fascinating.

00:02:28.920 I was, I was trying to find really, because he's a psychologist by training, trying to find

00:02:40.620 the psychology behind what's happening to us right now, why we're not standing, why some

00:02:47.420 people are, why, where does courage come from?

00:02:52.640 Where does this mistaken belief of the collective over the individual, how does that happen?

00:02:58.760 What do we have in common anymore?

00:03:01.320 We're going to cover some of those things with Jordan Peterson in 60 seconds.

00:03:09.080 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:03:11.580 All right, lawn mowing season is upon us.

00:03:15.440 There's nothing like getting on the back of your lawnmower and spending a couple of hours

00:03:20.220 just mowing the lawn.

00:03:23.200 Yeah, well, there is something better than that.

00:03:24.580 Spending maybe half of that time on the back of a lawnmower.

00:03:27.840 And you can do that if you just go to Hustler Turf and find a Hustler mower, a zero turn mower.

00:03:34.700 Now, zero turn mowers will cut a football field. 1.00

00:03:37.340 The 104 inch will cut a football field.

00:03:39.800 I'm not kidding you, in 10 minutes.

00:03:42.880 It's nuts.

00:03:44.740 It'll cut your time out on your lawn in about half.

00:03:49.060 And Hustler Turf, you can buy other zero turn lawnmowers, but these are the people

00:03:52.380 that invented the zero turn lawnmower.

00:03:56.040 They made them for like 50 years for the industry.

00:03:59.180 And finally, somebody said, you know, I bet people would really like this, you know, for

00:04:03.900 their home.

00:04:04.640 And so they started making them for the home, but they're made the same way.

00:04:08.480 So what was made to do eight hours every day, six days a week is now sitting in your garage

00:04:15.920 doing it.

00:04:16.360 You'll never I would bet you until they ban the gasoline engine.

00:04:21.180 You'll never buy another lawnmower, maybe for generations.

00:04:26.420 It is a great, tough lawnmower.

00:04:30.140 It's Hustler.

00:04:31.260 Find a Hustler dealership near you and take the hassle free test drive right now.

00:04:36.420 They'll help you select the lawn to the right lawnmower for your home, your application.

00:04:40.760 And I encourage you to test drive others and then go to HustlerTurf.com and find a Hustler

00:04:47.740 dealer near you.

00:04:48.740 You it's HustlerTurf.com.

00:04:51.060 That's HustlerTurf.com.

00:04:53.580 So yesterday I spent some time with Jordan Peterson and if you listen to it, I don't

00:05:08.080 even know if I was clear, but we started at a very odd place.

00:05:14.820 He even said, wow, I didn't expect that to be the first question.

00:05:18.380 I talked to him a little bit about UFOs and he was not aware.

00:05:23.120 We talked about it after the interview.

00:05:24.960 He wasn't aware what the Pentagon is is saying about UFOs, which is really odd how so many

00:05:31.340 people have missed what's happening with the Pentagon.

00:05:35.880 The Pentagon is now verifying UFOs.

00:05:40.140 They're no longer saying, wow, it was a weather balloon.

00:05:42.720 They're now saying we can't explain this technology.

00:05:46.280 No one on Earth has this technology and they're going a step further.

00:05:52.300 We have in our possession extraterrestrial vehicles and materials.

00:06:00.680 What?

00:06:02.540 It is it is so bizarre.

00:06:05.300 So we started the conversation with why have we always looked to the skies and and seen

00:06:14.840 UFOs?

00:06:15.880 And quite frankly, I would.

00:06:17.940 I mean, if let's be honest, if you got up this morning and you turn on the show and

00:06:23.740 I say and I said to you with audio is just happened a few minutes ago.

00:06:28.620 I've got to play the audio for you again if you missed it.

00:06:31.200 And it's the president and he steps up and he's like, you know, and I said, OK, let me

00:06:39.060 translate.

00:06:40.380 He said that just a few minutes ago he met with a three headed alien who said he was

00:06:47.140 taking over the world, but he's benevolent.

00:06:50.020 Even if he wasn't benevolent, wouldn't you kind of go, oh, thank God, seriously, the world

00:06:59.160 is in so much trouble right now.

00:07:01.880 Wouldn't you be relieved if you heard there were aliens and they were coming for us?

00:07:08.760 Maybe it's just me, but I believe.

00:07:10.400 Oh, goodness.

00:07:11.360 I mean, they're they've got to be smarter than us because they know how to get here and

00:07:18.180 maybe they've been here for a long time, you know, so they're not going to eat us.

00:07:23.460 And quite honestly, even if they do make us into soup.

00:07:27.960 I think that would be better than what we got coming.

00:07:31.100 So we talked to him about that and and and the that led us to the the talk of meaning

00:07:41.360 in life.

00:07:44.220 How do we find meaning and and how important is that and the idea of redemption?

00:07:54.280 Here's the part on redemption from the podcast.

00:07:56.920 One of the first things I ever heard you talk about was relationship in a kind of abstract

00:08:04.780 way with God and how important the redemptive story is.

00:08:11.620 And I so like the way you approach it because you don't know or maybe you do and you don't

00:08:17.560 say but you you don't you don't profess that you are a believer, but you understand the

00:08:24.140 importance to humans to be able to start again and have redemption.

00:08:31.780 And we are destroying that now in in our culture, you know, cancel culture, all of this stuff 1.00

00:08:38.620 is critical race theory.

00:08:40.780 There is no redemption.

00:08:43.340 And that is one of the things one of the things you're pointing to is that there's a there's

00:08:47.960 an unrecognized danger of our technology.

00:08:50.280 I don't suppose it's entirely unrecognized, but, you know, the miracle of memory is not

00:08:55.960 that we remember.

00:08:56.960 The miracle of memory is that we forget and that we only remember what is necessary.

00:09:02.580 And because we can forget, we don't drag the past along with us.

00:09:06.220 Right.

00:09:06.420 So we can get free of the past.

00:09:07.980 Like all you need is three sleepless nights to understand what kind of hell life would be

00:09:12.280 if you couldn't dispense with the past.

00:09:13.980 Because each night when you sleep, you dispense with that day and and that renews you.

00:09:20.240 And so that that story of of of of descent into the depths and redemption, I mean, that's

00:09:25.180 part of our natural biological rhythm.

00:09:27.220 That's the descent into unconsciousness at night into deep sleep and then our reawakening

00:09:31.700 in the morning.

00:09:32.260 And that's associated with solar mythology, with the setting of the sun and the rising of

00:09:36.640 the sun.

00:09:37.160 All that's tangled together.

00:09:38.540 But that definitely does renew us and it enables us to start afresh in the morning.

00:09:42.180 The problem with technology, a problem with technology, is that it's becoming increasingly

00:09:47.720 difficult to shed our past.

00:09:50.660 And without that, you can't redeem yourself.

00:09:52.760 And that that is a mistake.

00:09:53.880 It is a problem because everyone makes mistakes and everyone mistake makes mistakes all the

00:09:57.740 time.

00:09:58.180 And you might ask yourself, well, why isn't it appropriate for you to be crushed by the weight 1.00

00:10:03.820 of your own stupidity? 1.00

00:10:05.340 You know, given that it's immense and that you make all sorts of mistakes. 1.00

00:10:09.180 Right.

00:10:09.540 No one can live under those conditions.

00:10:12.000 We need to be able to let go and to forget and to forgive.

00:10:15.960 And we all need that.

00:10:18.280 I've seen an interview.

00:10:20.300 I think there's like four or eight people on earth that have perfect recollection.

00:10:26.320 And it's beyond just I remember.

00:10:29.500 They feel what they felt on any given day.

00:10:32.860 You can tell them a date.

00:10:34.840 They'll tell you the weather.

00:10:35.780 They'll tell you what they were wearing, what was happening.

00:10:37.580 And I saw an interview with one of them, and they became very emotional because they're

00:10:43.640 reliving it.

00:10:45.320 And the people who have that gift or curse, it's a curse.

00:10:50.340 Yeah.

00:10:51.040 Some some deal OK with it.

00:10:54.240 The others are just crushed by it.

00:10:56.880 So that led us to interesting places.

00:11:03.900 I didn't want to talk to him about politics because I'm more concerned really with.

00:11:10.440 I'm going to be honest with you, with what I do every day and what I say to you every day.

00:11:19.440 How do I how do I how do I point out the trouble that is ahead?

00:11:26.400 I've been doing this for 20 years and.

00:11:29.100 It doesn't seem to really make an impact.

00:11:34.620 Now, maybe it is impact impactful for you, but it doesn't feel like it to me. 0.95

00:11:39.200 I maybe it's because I started with a stupid idea that you just show people the facts and. 0.98

00:11:46.200 They'll care. 0.98

00:11:47.840 Well, no, because nobody believes anything anymore.

00:11:52.380 Nobody knows who to trust, what to trust.

00:11:54.620 We were arguing over actual facts now.

00:11:58.400 I mean, we're so far away from reality.

00:12:02.320 It's like we're watching a cartoon.

00:12:05.600 We don't connect with anything anymore.

00:12:08.700 So how do we reconnect?

00:12:10.640 How do we connect that?

00:12:12.400 Just because there are so many people that don't see the dangers of what they're participating in.

00:12:21.040 You know, it's it's we know this from if you read the Bible, you you you'll read one page and then three page later, three page later, you'll you'll you'll read the same story and you'll be like, wait a minute.

00:12:36.240 This just happened to you.

00:12:37.640 How did you not remember that led to your destruction?

00:12:40.280 What is wrong with these people?

00:12:41.720 Well, we know because we're living it now.

00:12:44.520 You just say, well, it's different this time and it's not.

00:12:48.200 So how do we get people to recognize that it's not different this time?

00:12:53.440 It's the same thing, just different clothing like, you know, Nazism. 0.87

00:12:57.480 If it comes back, it's it's not going to come back the same way.

00:13:01.840 You know, it's not going to come in with a black, you know, boots in the and their armband and the swastika. 0.52

00:13:07.260 I mean, you know, there are some that want that it come back that way, but most likely it's going to come back clothed differently, clothed in in patriotism, clothed in in righteousness and justice and fairness and God and all of that stuff.

00:13:24.880 It always morphs to be able to get the most amount of people to go.

00:13:31.440 Yeah, that's right.

00:13:34.100 And how do you stand up against it?

00:13:37.840 And Jordan Peterson has been through hell and back.

00:13:41.540 And so I asked him about courage and how do you how do you stand up?

00:13:49.620 How do you what is in you that makes you stand up and say, you know what?

00:13:54.360 I don't really care what anybody's going to do to me.

00:13:56.900 This is right.

00:13:58.100 And this is wrong.

00:13:59.200 And I'm going to stand up for what I believe is right.

00:14:02.140 Listen to his answer.

00:14:02.960 It's so attractive, right, to identify, to localize malevolence externally.

00:14:08.520 It's so attractive because, first of all, it lets you off the hook and that's a relief.

00:14:13.080 And second, if you've identified malevolence, there's nothing you can do to what is malevolent that's unjustifiable.

00:14:19.400 And so your worst impulses have free reign because especially if you can also add to that a good cause.

00:14:26.840 You say, well, this is in the service of the eventual utopia.

00:14:30.120 It's like, well, now you have carte blanche for your worst motivations.

00:14:34.340 And that's very, very dangerous.

00:14:36.140 And so I always think that it's better to to stick to the psychological, which.

00:14:41.860 So here's what I think I want.

00:14:43.700 I was trying to drive at was, you know, you see it in these big movie terms.

00:14:48.680 People see it in big movie terms and you can't move.

00:14:51.340 You know, you're you're either on this side or that side and you can't move.

00:14:53.900 And nobody moves.

00:14:54.800 Nobody wants to recognize, you know, they're on the wrong side.

00:14:58.060 Nobody's making a case or just killing each other.

00:15:01.020 There is a growth of the reluctant hero in all stories.

00:15:06.660 There is this arc of that hero and they they something happens and they change and they become heroic.

00:15:13.980 But they're not heroes.

00:15:16.460 And so many people don't think that they have what it takes.

00:15:20.800 They're not the hero.

00:15:22.120 And the people who are standing around are looking and just following the crowd.

00:15:29.260 How do you get or what's happening to us to where so many people are seeing what's going on?

00:15:38.060 If they know history at all, they'll understand the pitfalls.

00:15:42.440 It doesn't mean we end in the same place, but we could see the patterns repeating.

00:15:45.940 How do you get people to recognize and then have the courage to stand?

00:15:55.900 You've taken a beating.

00:15:58.680 Nobody wants to do that.

00:15:59.920 Why is that worth it?

00:16:01.860 And how do you get there?

00:16:04.280 Well, I think it's worth it because the alternative, I believe the alternative is worse.

00:16:08.700 I mean, that's that's why I think it's worth it.

00:16:12.660 I think it's a decision that you make to stay silent when you have something to say.

00:16:18.500 You know, you don't know what it is within you that that that that requires your voice, right?

00:16:26.640 Because you feel I have something to say.

00:16:28.420 It's like, well, where does that come from?

00:16:29.740 Exactly that feeling that you have something to say.

00:16:32.060 You're disgruntled at work and you're choking on your own bile because the situation is not just in your estimation.

00:16:38.240 You're dying to say something, but you won't.

00:16:41.220 Well, you'll die if you don't say it.

00:16:43.260 Maybe it's a death of a thousand cuts. 0.58

00:16:45.120 I don't like deferred punishment.

00:16:47.020 I'd rather take it now and keep the future clean, which is why I encourage people to to have the fights now.

00:16:56.160 Don't to do not to hide things in the fog for later because they grow and metastasize.

00:17:02.220 It's better to confront what you need to confront when it's small and when you have some possibility of victory.

00:17:11.240 It's a fascinating conversation.

00:17:13.500 It lasts about an hour.

00:17:14.880 You can find it now on Blaze TV.

00:17:17.020 Also, on my YouTube channel as early as tomorrow.

00:17:22.180 So make sure you go.

00:17:23.100 YouTube is being suppressed.

00:17:24.620 My YouTube channel, I think.

00:17:25.840 I mean, I feel like it is.

00:17:28.640 Of course, I have no no evidence of that.

00:17:32.500 And and gosh, YouTube completely denies that.

00:17:35.660 But you'll have to go out and find it yourself.

00:17:38.440 It's not going to be recommended to you and share it with a friend.

00:17:41.680 It's a fascinating conversation.

00:17:43.160 And we talked a little bit about what's happening in education, both locally with critical race theory and the universities.

00:17:50.660 The story he talked about of the universities was phenomenal.

00:17:53.380 And I'll share that with you in 60 seconds.

00:17:56.120 Margaret lives in Pennsylvania, and she likes to do a lot of walking for exercise.

00:18:02.800 I mean, I don't know, Margaret, why God put wheels on office chairs for a reason.

00:18:09.320 Anyway, a while back, she started suffering acute and frequent pain in her legs and lower back.

00:18:14.280 At first, it just kept her from the exercise walking.

00:18:17.020 Then gradually she started having difficult just walking around at all, doing basic stuff every day.

00:18:22.580 Frustrated and a little afraid of her future.

00:18:25.080 Margaret decided to do something about it. 0.97

00:18:27.240 She heard me talking.

00:18:28.340 Hi, Margaret.

00:18:29.160 She heard me talking about Relief Factor on the program.

00:18:31.500 She ordered the three-week trial pack just to give it a try.

00:18:35.200 Same story.

00:18:36.760 Makes me happy to report that she got out of pain, entirely out of it, according to Margaret.

00:18:42.500 She said it just took a few weeks, and she was back walking for exercise daily.

00:18:46.500 She got her life back, and so could you.

00:18:50.120 I got my life back with Relief Factor.

00:18:52.620 Get your life back.

00:18:54.140 ReliefFactor.com.

00:18:55.180 800-583-84.

00:18:57.200 800-583-84.

00:18:59.060 It's ReliefFactor.com.

00:19:02.020 10 seconds.

00:19:02.820 Station ID.

00:19:16.620 So, Jordan Peterson had some amazing things to say about how bad it is in colleges.

00:19:23.340 Don't send your kids.

00:19:25.200 I told my kids the other day, there are three colleges you're allowed to apply to and go.

00:19:31.060 I mean, if you want dad to help you out on your college, you want to earn the money, you can go anywhere you want.

00:19:36.320 You'll be an adult.

00:19:38.260 But the three that I recommend and I will put money into, I feel confident that they're not going to make you into a zombie.

00:19:47.620 Listen to what Jordan Peterson said about colleges.

00:19:49.780 You want this more nuanced approach, and that was actually part of the purpose of a classical education.

00:19:55.080 A humanities education was designed to give you a more nuanced view.

00:19:58.840 That was its original purpose, although that's, you know, sadly, I would say, gone by the wayside.

00:20:04.280 It looks like it.

00:20:05.240 I've had these conversations recently that have been quite interesting.

00:20:08.260 You know, they're very disturbing, actually.

00:20:09.800 I talked to two of Canada's most outstanding people in the last two weeks, Conrad Black, who ran a huge newspaper empire, and Rex Murphy, who's probably Canada's best-known journalist personality, because he's both.

00:20:25.560 He's a great journalist, but he's a personality as well.

00:20:27.780 And they remembered their university education.

00:20:32.300 Jocko Willink as well.

00:20:33.840 He's not a Canadian, but he had the same kind of memory.

00:20:36.120 He talked about, they talked about their education in the humanities, mostly concentrating on English literature, and described it with tremendous fondness as a turning point in their life, as an opening up of the world of knowledge to their youthful eyes, right?

00:20:53.080 Very, very fondly.

00:20:54.300 Contrasted that with Yeonmi Park, who was an escapee, is an escapee from North Korea, very brave woman, who was then enslaved in China, had a life that was just sheer hell, and spent a good part of the interview telling me how much better her life was than the lives of many people she knew.

00:21:11.800 She wrote a book called In Order to Live.

00:21:14.640 But the book stopped at the year 2015, so I asked her what she did.

00:21:19.300 She went to Columbia, took a humanities degree, which was a dream of hers, after finishing her entire education in one year.

00:21:29.760 You know, her education prior to university.

00:21:32.620 Right, exactly.

00:21:33.620 Then she went to a South Korean university for three years.

00:21:36.120 They're hard to get into.

00:21:37.360 And then she went to Columbia.

00:21:38.300 I said, what was it like going to Columbia?

00:21:42.720 Taking a humanities degree from this escapee from totalitarianism, who was once enslaved, got to go to one of America's august institutions and be trained in the humanities.

00:21:53.280 Someone who'd been exposed to George Orwell and who was motivated to write because she read Animal Farm, understood the power of literature.

00:22:00.220 She said it was a complete waste of time and money, and that she was afraid to say anything.

00:22:07.420 Wow.

00:22:08.300 Yeah, wow.

00:22:09.800 It's a hell of a thing to hear when you're a university professor.

00:22:12.960 I thought, how catastrophic, how utterly catastrophic that that can be the case.

00:22:17.340 She compared it to being in North Korea.

00:22:20.920 I said, surely, surely there was one professor, one course.

00:22:49.500 I want to talk to you a little bit about Rough Greens.

00:22:52.760 Rebecca wrote in.

00:22:54.100 She lives in Ohio.

00:22:55.580 She said, I have a senior golden retriever.

00:22:58.020 She got to the point where she wouldn't eat dog food of any type.

00:23:01.860 Holy cow, do I understand that.

00:23:05.880 She was beginning to lose weight.

00:23:08.800 I started making dog food at home, but I was concerned that she wasn't getting all the nutrients she needs.

00:23:13.900 I am on the week two of the 14-day trial.

00:23:17.920 She's eating again, and now she licks the bowl for any remaining Rough Greens.

00:23:23.360 So far, so good.

00:23:24.540 Thank you, Rough Greens.

00:23:25.800 If you have a picky eater, this thing is a miracle.

00:23:30.180 It doesn't work for every dog.

00:23:31.700 I mean, you know, they want to make sure that your dog will eat it before you, you know, order a full bag of Rough Greens.

00:23:36.080 So they'll send you the first bag free.

00:23:38.100 It's just a little trial bag.

00:23:40.060 You just try it for a couple of days.

00:23:41.220 If your dog will eat it, then order a real bag and put it on the dog food, and it'll transform, A, a picky eater.

00:23:49.600 But now, Rebecca, you've only done it for two weeks.

00:23:52.560 Watch them over the next two months.

00:23:54.500 You are going to meet an entirely different dog.

00:23:58.060 It's Rough Greens.

00:23:58.900 It's RoughGreens.com slash Beck.

00:24:16.940 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:24:18.820 Hello, America.

00:24:19.720 It's Friday.

00:24:21.480 Every day, it's becoming easier and easier for me to show you examples of people standing up and doing the right thing,

00:24:28.100 and people with great courage.

00:24:29.720 I'm not sure I have talked to somebody who has as much courage as Jeanette Shada.

00:24:40.420 Jeanette is living in Beaverton, Oregon, you know, the Portland area, and she is running for school board and fighting against critical race theory in the schools.

00:24:52.020 When you have Antifa threatening to kill your mayor, wow, the last place I want to be is in the center of that and in politics.

00:25:04.940 She is running now for the Beaverton School Board.

00:25:11.300 She's a candidate with the platform of anti-critical race theory. 1.00

00:25:16.140 She was a high school English teacher at a charter school, 95% minority students.

00:25:20.940 She is certified to teach English as a second language as well.

00:25:26.300 She tutors students.

00:25:28.420 She has worked as a teacher's assistant, a group home, foster youth, substitute, K-12 school, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:25:36.240 She's an accomplished teacher.

00:25:39.120 She joins us now.

00:25:41.260 Welcome, Jeanette.

00:25:43.940 Hi, Glenn.

00:25:44.820 Thank you for having me on your show.

00:25:46.080 So why, what, what has given you the courage to be able to do this?

00:25:55.000 Well, it started out with the school district, not properly working with my son who has a 504 plan and some mental health issues.

00:26:04.920 And so I pulled him out of the Beaverton schools one week before Governor Brown put the shutdown on everybody because of COVID.

00:26:14.680 And it was just to get his grades up.

00:26:17.980 We moved from Texas just a few months prior to that.

00:26:21.800 And he went from a straight A student to an F student and skipping school regularly because he didn't feel like he belonged.

00:26:28.800 And they weren't servicing his 504 and which is against the law.

00:26:34.480 So as time went on, of course, we're on lockdowns.

00:26:39.860 He wants to go back to a campus and I can't let him go back to a campus because schools are shut down.

00:26:45.240 So along came December and this opportunity came up.

00:26:49.140 I was actually thinking of going back in the classroom because I did renew my teaching credential here in Oregon.

00:26:53.620 I originally got my credential in Oregon many years ago and I decided to run.

00:27:02.320 I prayed about it and this is the direction that I'm supposed to go.

00:27:07.080 And then when we were deciding on my platform, I knew about critical race theory.

00:27:13.040 I knew about comprehensive sexuality education and I decided to run against them.

00:27:18.760 I knew it was going to cause controversy, but wow, I did not know Antifa was going to start going after me.

00:27:24.600 There's one person in Antifa who went on my Facebook page.

00:27:30.600 I received a thousand dollar donation from a gentleman named Ben Edel with Free Oregon.

00:27:36.060 And they started blaming me taking money from Proud Boys.

00:27:40.320 And Ben has nothing to do with the Proud Boys.

00:27:42.440 He is a very upstanding citizen who lost his business in downtown Portland due to Antifa riots and due to the shutdown of Governor Brown.

00:27:53.640 That is still occurring to this day.

00:27:55.380 People don't understand we're still shut down in Oregon big time.

00:27:59.580 And so Antifa started coming after me and that just put the firestorm.

00:28:04.080 And that was about two weeks ago.

00:28:05.540 But, you know, when you have bullies threatening you, calling you all hours of the night, leaving nasty messages all over your Facebook page, what do you do?

00:28:15.680 You stand up to them.

00:28:16.900 And that's what I taught my students for 23 years I've been in education.

00:28:21.040 You stand up to your bullies and you face them down and you say, no, you're not going to silence me.

00:28:27.180 I am a human being.

00:28:28.540 I deserve to have my voice heard just like you do.

00:28:31.880 And if you don't like my platform, then that's okay.

00:28:34.680 But we cannot have critical race theory in our schools.

00:28:37.840 It is teaching racism.

00:28:39.880 They're trying to get rid of racism with racism.

00:28:42.440 That makes absolutely no sense to me.

00:28:45.100 So that's why I decided to run.

00:28:47.200 And it was going really well until two weeks ago.

00:28:50.840 And then the teachers union started coming after me with some teachers who are staunch teachers union advocates.

00:28:57.340 And then one of the teachers there got a hold of one of her Antifa friends.

00:29:01.920 And that's where the firestorm started.

00:29:04.460 So now they steal my yard signs.

00:29:06.440 They call me all these nasty names.

00:29:08.620 And I'm standing strong.

00:29:11.360 I'm standing against them.

00:29:12.880 And people are tired.

00:29:14.260 I'm out talking to people either on the phone, through email, face to face at the door.

00:29:19.400 And people want change.

00:29:21.440 They do not want critical race theories in the classroom.

00:29:24.240 I had one young lady two days ago tell me she has a one- and four-year-old.

00:29:29.780 And she wants her kids to be safe in school.

00:29:33.700 She wants them to learn correct history.

00:29:36.940 She wants them to be little kids, you know, learning the basics of reading, writing, arithmetic, art, music.

00:29:44.220 And that's what schools are meant to be, educational facilities and not ideological camps where propaganda is pushed.

00:29:52.020 And I've been in education long enough to know that what we're currently having is not okay.

00:29:59.080 It was in the colleges.

00:30:00.760 And now we have a whole generation of teachers who are indoctrinated in this.

00:30:05.940 And so they brought it down to the K-12 system.

00:30:08.740 And we have to stand up and fight.

00:30:10.960 We cannot be silent anymore.

00:30:13.440 Or our whole country is going to be in peril.

00:30:16.120 So we're talking to Jeanette Shada.

00:30:19.800 She is running for school board up in Beaverton, up in the Portland area.

00:30:27.800 Jeanette, first of all, is your family safe?

00:30:32.500 I believe so.

00:30:34.500 We have to be extra vigilant, of course, because Antifa has made some veiled threats, both through Facebook and through phone calls.

00:30:44.360 I have called the police, but they basically said unless something happens, there's nothing they can do, which is very interesting.

00:30:53.620 I support the police 100%, but it's unfortunate with how volatile Antifa is, and you just don't know what's going to happen.

00:31:03.600 I'm not scared for my safety.

00:31:05.380 I still go out.

00:31:06.400 I still block walk.

00:31:08.120 I still do sine waves.

00:31:10.360 Just Wednesday, I was doing sine waves on a busy intersection in Beaverton.

00:31:16.620 And the same person who put out the information to start this firestorm put out another post saying, oh, Jeanette Shada is standing on this corner. 0.72

00:31:26.760 Go to her.

00:31:27.420 So about five Black Lives Matter people showed up.

00:31:30.120 But we stood there anyway, and I actually talked with them.

00:31:34.440 One was a 13-year-old girl, and, you know, she's been indoctrinated in this stuff, and it's unfortunate.

00:31:43.020 They wanted to yell at me after, you know, we actually had a pretty decent conversation until I told them that they really need to learn the true history of the United States.

00:31:51.420 And then they started yelling at me about how this country is built on the backs of slaves and things like that.

00:31:56.540 And I said, well, that's your opinion.

00:31:58.700 And I stood there.

00:32:00.080 Our event was 430 to 630.

00:32:02.500 They showed up about 6 o'clock, and we stayed until 630 because I'm not going to back down.

00:32:07.480 I'm not going to run away.

00:32:09.820 They're people who are human beings.

00:32:12.700 Good for you.

00:32:13.600 Before we go any further, I want to make sure we get to this.

00:32:18.240 Do you have enough volunteers?

00:32:19.660 I don't even know how many listeners we have in the Beaverton area, but do you have enough volunteers?

00:32:25.420 Are you looking for donations?

00:32:26.980 How can this audience help you?

00:32:29.920 Yeah, if you go to buildbackbasics.com, you can donate there.

00:32:37.220 I am always looking for volunteers.

00:32:39.460 I have a great volunteer team right now, and we have been pushing hard ever since February, and we're still pushing hard.

00:32:47.920 I received 15 new volunteer submissions over the last week, and I do talk to every single one of them to make sure their heart is in it, because it takes courage to stand and do this.

00:33:05.780 Even when I've been in the local news, and they've seen the nastiness on Facebook from people.

00:33:12.880 Some of these people are teachers that are teaching your children.

00:33:16.600 They're making these vile, nasty comments, and I'm just like, come on, people.

00:33:21.280 This is America.

00:33:22.640 If you don't like my platform, then go to the ballot box and vote, but you don't need the vitriol here.

00:33:28.440 But buildbackbasics.com is where people can go to learn more, and I do answer my phone.

00:33:36.400 Now I let it go to voicemail a lot because I don't know the phone numbers, but I will call back, and people are surprised that it's me and not somebody else, because I don't have a campaign manager.

00:33:46.340 I'm managing my campaign.

00:33:47.740 I have a very good media team that I hired who's handling the social media side, but I don't know if you have followed what happened in Southlake, Texas, but there's a national story about it again today.

00:34:05.580 In Southlake, Texas, we had the same exact thing, and the city was kind of asleep and just didn't think that critical race theory was a big deal.

00:34:15.740 And then they started to be calling, you know, some parents were called racist for bringing up, wait a minute, what are we teaching here?

00:34:22.880 And the election, because of the strong pushback, the election went in favor of those who were questioning and wanted critical race theory out.

00:34:33.660 There were three board members that were voted in new on your platform, and they won 70 to 30.

00:34:42.520 And I thought that was pretty amazing.

00:34:44.240 That was a county that voted for Joe Biden, by the way.

00:34:47.880 Yeah, and I've been following that story, and that goes to show the silent majority.

00:34:53.680 They are tired of this.

00:34:55.380 Like I said, I'm out there campaigning every day and talking with people, and so are my volunteers and the stories that come in.

00:35:02.060 People are so tired of this, they're afraid for their children to be indoctrinated with this false narrative of if you're born white, that you are inherently racist, and if you are born of a brown or black skin, that you are a victim of the system.

00:35:20.260 No, I taught kids of all races, all nationalities, all languages, and what I taught them is they are excellent human beings and have every opportunity in the world to pull themselves up.

00:35:32.860 I had one gentleman named Pierre when I worked in Texas at the Alternative Campus.

00:35:38.780 He was in a gang life.

00:35:40.260 He was half black, half white.

00:35:42.700 And he came to me with tears down his face, not knowing what to do.

00:35:46.500 He had a two-year-old, well, at the time, he had a two-year-old little girl.

00:35:49.160 And I helped him find the opportunity to pull out to make sure that he had a better life than what his parents gave him because his parents were in gangs and drug dealers, and he didn't want that for himself.

00:36:04.360 These kids are crying out.

00:36:06.220 They want supportive adults there for them.

00:36:09.280 And in America, underneath the Constitution of the United States, it's equality for all.

00:36:14.580 That means we all have the opportunity to grasp on to something positive and make things of it.

00:36:21.940 Yes, this country had slavery. 0.79

00:36:23.940 Yes, we have racism.

00:36:25.760 But you know what?

00:36:26.780 The Civil Rights Movement, well, the Civil War, you know, we pulled out of slavery there.

00:36:30.800 And even before then, the Founding Fathers didn't want slavery here.

00:36:34.000 They tried to get rid of it in the Articles of Confederation.

00:36:37.200 And then the Civil Rights Movement with Martin Luther King, Jr.

00:36:39.880 Judge a person by the content of the character, not an immutable quality like skin color, a God-given gift that we all have.

00:36:48.080 And now Critical Race Theory is making a U-turn and going pre-Civil Rights and reinstitutionalizing racism, doing the exact opposite of what they're claiming it's meant to do.

00:37:01.240 Jeanette, you give me great hope, and I hope there are more teachers out there and more parents out there like you that are willing to do the tough thing.

00:37:11.300 You are in really a dangerous situation, and we will keep you in our prayers.

00:37:16.680 I would ask everybody who prays in this audience to put Jeanette on your prayer list. 0.88

00:37:23.740 But I congratulate you.

00:37:26.760 Your election is coming up, I think, in, what, next week or the week after?

00:37:30.260 Yeah, May 18th is the last day by 8 o'clock.

00:37:36.000 But that doesn't end there.

00:37:37.740 When myself, Sarah Lynn, and Fua get on the school board because we're running together on the same platform, when we get on to the school board, that's when the real work begins.

00:37:48.380 Because we have to undo a lot of what the superintendent, Rodding, and this current school board has done.

00:37:55.040 And we need to get schools back to being educational facilities and not indoctrination camps that they're becoming.

00:38:03.000 And everybody needs to stand up and have a voice in that.

00:38:05.900 I am so glad to know you.

00:38:08.540 We will call you the day after the election and hopefully have you on the show as a victor.

00:38:15.600 Congratulations.

00:38:16.480 And thank you.

00:38:17.620 Thank you from the bottom of my heart, from even my family.

00:38:21.640 I know they're not going to be affected directly with what you're doing, but my family will be directed by your courage of standing.

00:38:28.540 And I thank you so much for that, Jeanette.

00:38:31.520 Thank you, Paul, and I appreciate it.

00:38:33.960 That is Jeanette Shada. 0.85

00:38:36.100 You can find her at her website, buildbackbasics.com.

00:38:45.880 All right.

00:38:47.160 Let me take a minute and ask you to really think about where you see yourself and your family in the next year, financially and otherwise.

00:38:54.780 Okay.

00:38:56.540 Kind of hard to predict, isn't it?

00:38:58.540 It's I mean, we are.

00:39:00.220 That's why so many people are holding on to money.

00:39:02.520 Others are just going to the casino and blowing all of the money.

00:39:05.220 But so many people are putting it in their bank account because you can't you don't know.

00:39:10.740 All right.

00:39:12.240 When you don't know, you save money.

00:39:15.780 American financing will help you do just that.

00:39:19.440 And I mean, a lot of money.

00:39:21.320 If you can refinance your mortgage, even if you're at four percent, if you can refinance your mortgage,

00:39:27.620 mortgage and get it down into the twos, it's going to be game changing for your finances.

00:39:33.520 If you roll in, if you have a lot of credit card debt and it's, you know, 10 percent interest or higher.

00:39:40.660 If you roll that in to your mortgage without resetting your mortgage, you're going to save hundreds, if not thousands or thousands of dollars every single month, depending on how much money you have in credit card bills.

00:40:32.860 America, welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:40:35.820 Bill O'Reilly is coming up in just a few minutes.

00:40:38.220 And we have to share the chairman of the Joint Chiefs talking about that the Chinese rocket launcher crashing to Earth.

00:40:48.500 Yeah, there's not really, we don't have any plans.

00:40:52.040 You know, if it's going to come over the United States and hit us, are we going to blow it out of the sky?

00:40:56.880 No, we don't have any plans for that.

00:40:58.940 We're hoping that it's going to land in the ocean.

00:41:01.280 Yeah, we're hoping.

00:41:02.080 Or someplace like that.

00:41:03.880 Right, okay, okay.

00:41:05.340 All right, well, I'm hoping that the country doesn't collapse under this pressure, too.

00:41:09.380 But I think we should do something about it.

00:41:13.660 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:41:15.420 I want to talk to you about American financing.

00:41:18.620 American financing.

00:41:20.940 I'm hearing in my ear, it has to be real estate agents I trust.

00:41:24.540 Well, okay, if you demand it, Sarah.

00:41:27.400 Real estate agents I trust.

00:41:29.720 This is a group that I started five, six, seven years ago with my brother.

00:41:36.160 He's not actually my brother, but he lived with us growing up as kids, so we look at each other as brothers.

00:41:41.540 And we had the same problem trying to find a really good real estate agent that could get the job done.

00:41:46.460 At the time, I was working with what the Wall Street Journal said, the 500 best real estate agents in the country.

00:41:51.260 And I started talking to them.

00:41:52.420 How do you do your job?

00:41:53.440 How do somebody find a good real estate agent?

00:41:56.300 Many of these agents are in our network now.

00:41:58.400 But we use that kind of thinking to go look and interview real estate agents so you can at least have it narrowed down in your area.

00:42:10.320 And if you're looking for a real estate agent either to buy or sell your house, you've got to have the best one.

00:42:15.000 So go to realestateagentsitrust.com, find the ones we deem are the best in your area, and interview them yourself.

00:42:23.260 Maybe you disagree, but we really have done our homework on these people, and we really think they're the best in your area.

00:42:31.580 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:42:35.900 If you're a regular listener to this program, you know at this time on Friday, it means Bill O'Reilly.

00:42:45.300 He's next because it is Friday, America.

00:42:51.580 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:42:54.500 Let me tell you about Relief Factor.

00:42:57.640 I don't know what's keeping you from doing the things that you want to do.

00:43:00.840 But first of all, if you're not in pain, if you're young, don't wait to do them.

00:43:07.460 You know, someday I'm going to don't wait to do them because things change. 0.56

00:43:11.720 And quite honestly, getting old sucks beyond belief. 0.99

00:43:15.020 It really sucks. 0.90

00:43:17.040 And then you get old, and all of a sudden you're like, I can't do that anymore because I can't move, and I'm only 45.

00:43:23.620 If you are in pain, would you please just try Relief Factor?

00:43:27.820 This is something that I didn't recommend.

00:43:30.040 And I was an advertiser with our company, with the Blaze, for years.

00:43:34.360 And I never recommended it because I didn't take it.

00:43:37.740 And they asked me over and over and over again, you know, would you recommend this?

00:43:41.800 No.

00:43:42.680 Well, my wife just got fed up with me hearing me whine about pain. 1.00

00:43:46.880 No, I mean, she can only take so much. 0.97

00:43:49.860 And she said, you've got to try this.

00:43:52.100 You try everything.

00:43:54.680 Try this.

00:43:55.480 And I'm like, it's not going to work.

00:43:56.920 It works on inflammation.

00:43:58.260 I've already tried ibuprofen 800.

00:44:00.540 I'm practically a drug addict with that.

00:44:02.860 And it does nothing.

00:44:04.860 I didn't think this would work.

00:44:06.680 I tried it for three weeks because 70% of the people who try it, you'll know in three weeks it's going to work for you or it's not.

00:44:14.620 I honestly thought I would be part of the 30%.

00:44:17.100 I wasn't.

00:44:18.280 I've been taking it ever since.

00:44:20.400 Just try it.

00:44:22.460 Get out of pain.

00:44:23.840 Try it.

00:44:24.760 Three-week quick starts, 1995.

00:44:27.220 See if you're part of the 70%.

00:44:29.360 Even if you think you're going to be part of the 30%, you never know.

00:44:33.640 800-500-8384.

00:44:35.700 800-500-8384.

00:44:38.500 It's relieffactor.com.

00:44:47.560 Well, I finally got The Fight Against Organized Crime in America.

00:44:54.640 Came out this week.

00:44:55.760 I had to go out and buy it myself.

00:44:57.980 Bill O'Reilly, he refused to send me a copy so I could read it in advance.

00:45:03.560 But I hear it's really good, Bill.

00:45:05.180 How are sales?

00:45:06.100 How are things on Killing the Mob?

00:45:07.600 Well, we hit number three on Amazon, so we're streaking there.

00:45:11.360 It came out on Tuesday.

00:45:12.840 We sent Glenn Beck at least seven copies, but his staff apparently pofered them.

00:45:19.840 I have all seven copies.

00:45:23.780 I have all seven copies.

00:45:25.600 And you actually read this book, Beck.

00:45:27.340 I know you read it.

00:45:28.300 I did.

00:45:28.680 Because it's very entertaining, and you learned a lot.

00:45:32.160 And give me credit where credit is due.

00:45:34.680 Hello?

00:45:37.440 Hello?

00:45:41.220 Hello?

00:45:41.900 But are you there?

00:45:44.200 Bill, can you hear me?

00:45:45.040 I think so.

00:45:45.580 I'm here.

00:45:46.560 Yes.

00:45:47.800 Okay.

00:45:49.140 Why are you being weird?

00:45:50.920 So I'd love to have you on next week.

00:45:53.940 And it was my fault that we didn't have you on this week.

00:45:56.040 But could we have you on next week, just for an hour, just talking about this book?

00:46:00.040 Absolutely.

00:46:00.800 That's very kind of you.

00:46:02.500 Very kind of you.

00:46:03.200 Yeah.

00:46:03.600 And I do apologize for not doing it this week.

00:46:05.880 I don't know what happened.

00:46:07.200 No, no.

00:46:07.480 It just kind of got away from me.

00:46:09.840 All right.

00:46:10.740 We'll talk a little bit more about killing the mob in a second.

00:46:13.380 But first, what is the big story of the week to you, Bill?

00:46:16.600 I think the bad economy news today, because this is the linchpin of whether the progressive movement gains even more power in America than it has.

00:46:31.080 And the news today was not good.

00:46:35.520 Take us through it.

00:46:36.800 Well, let's start with Joe Biden visiting Jimmy Carter last week.

00:46:42.760 I was actually happy that happened, because I don't know whether you know this or not, but Bill Clinton and Barack Obama totally ignored Jimmy Carter.

00:46:51.700 He was radioactive.

00:46:53.360 They didn't want to be seen with him.

00:46:54.520 They didn't talk to him.

00:46:55.960 And whether you like Carter or not, he's a patriot.

00:46:58.200 He did a lot of good work for Habitat of Humanity, as everybody knows.

00:47:01.680 I think he's actually a nice guy.

00:47:04.300 I think he's probably a very nice man.

00:47:07.320 He was never nice to me, but he probably is, because a lot of people mean to me.

00:47:12.940 But anyway, Carter, in my lifetime and your lifetime, Beck, because our lifetimes coincide, was the worst president for the economy.

00:47:25.720 It was Herbert Hoover all over again with Carter.

00:47:29.060 I mean, every blanket mistake you could make.

00:47:31.840 There were gas lines and inflation and high interest rates and unemployment.

00:47:36.820 It was horrible.

00:47:38.560 OK, so now I am predicting that absolutely could happen with Joe Biden.

00:47:43.800 In fact, I didn't I'm not privy to the conversation, but I think Mr. Biden said, look, how can I screw up this economy?

00:47:49.160 Can you just tell me how you did it, Jimmy?

00:47:51.760 Can you refresh my refresh my memory when nobody could afford heating oil?

00:47:56.780 Well, what was the it was everybody should just wear a sweater.

00:48:00.960 That was it, right?

00:48:02.080 Yeah, we were sweatering.

00:48:03.420 What happened was that the Middle East did not respect Jimmy Carter at all.

00:48:08.760 And the Saudis didn't like him.

00:48:10.860 And they formed OPEC.

00:48:12.420 That's when OPEC started.

00:48:13.780 And the Saudis basically told the United States, we're not going to give you as much oil as you want.

00:48:20.240 We'll dole it out to you the way we see fit.

00:48:23.860 And that caused gas and heating oil shortages so that Americans actually had to get in their car and wait for hours to fill up their tank.

00:48:34.540 I remember it.

00:48:35.420 OK.

00:48:36.120 I remember it.

00:48:36.520 And then when you wanted to get heating oil, those deliveries did not come on a regular basis because the heating oil companies didn't have the heating oil.

00:48:46.240 And by the way, you didn't only have to land.

00:48:48.400 You didn't have to just wait in line.

00:48:50.920 You had even an odd license plate days.

00:48:54.700 So if your license plate ended in an even number, you could go on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday and odd on the other days.

00:49:02.520 It was insanity, truly insanity.

00:49:05.820 Right.

00:49:06.580 So now we have a president of the United States who's basically saying, look, I'm going to try to spend trillions of dollars that we don't have.

00:49:15.760 All right.

00:49:16.420 It would be like your wife walking in back and saying, you know, I'm going to I'm going to give all of our money to Bolivia and even more than we have.

00:49:25.720 I'm just going to send everything to Bolivia. 0.69

00:49:28.720 All right.

00:49:29.140 And you're going, no, that's not fiscally sound.

00:49:33.360 That's what Biden's doing.

00:49:34.520 I mean, he's looking into the camera.

00:49:36.580 He's going, I got six trillion dollars that I want to spend because we're going to wipe out global warming.

00:49:43.080 And you go, wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:49:45.580 China's building coal plants.

00:49:47.740 Do you not understand that?

00:49:49.300 So whatever we do is going to be negated by what China does. 0.78

00:49:53.580 And there's Joe with the sunglasses on, you know, and then he's basically saying we want to control the economy from Washington, not the private sector that created all these jobs under Trump.

00:50:06.500 OK, we're not going to no, no, we're going to tax them as far as we can.

00:50:11.720 But not only that, if you buy stocks, which helps corporate America, all right, expand R&D, all of that, we're going to tax you 50 percent if you are if your assets are over one million dollars.

00:50:27.080 Well, the big players in the market, of course, their assets are over 50 percent.

00:50:31.880 So now you take a chance because the stock might go down.

00:50:35.380 But if you win, Joe wants 50 percent.

00:50:40.000 All right.

00:50:40.240 So this is about as economically unsound as anybody could be.

00:50:47.460 There isn't any economist except the New York Times people.

00:50:51.640 And, you know, they're not really economists.

00:50:53.160 They're communists who say, oh, this is good.

00:50:56.180 All right.

00:50:56.580 So nobody everybody knows this is bad, bad for the economy.

00:51:01.220 All right.

00:51:02.260 But Joe's going to send you money.

00:51:05.440 You're going to send you a check.

00:51:06.860 Yeah.

00:51:07.600 Yeah.

00:51:08.020 You're going to get twelve hundred here.

00:51:10.200 And so two states, Montana and South Carolina, basically said we can't now fill the jobs we have because people are getting so much money from Joe.

00:51:19.320 They won't work.

00:51:21.100 Yeah, it won't work.

00:51:22.500 All right.

00:51:22.900 So we're cutting that off.

00:51:24.520 So if you live in Montana or South Carolina, you won't get this stimulus money anymore because those states are saying it's insane.

00:51:34.020 You're creating a welfare state, which is exactly what Biden is doing.

00:51:39.000 That's the big story of the week.

00:51:40.740 So let me ask you this, because I came out with this, I think, on Monday or Tuesday.

00:51:45.600 I don't know if you saw the latest from Bank of America.

00:51:49.260 But they they talked about their, you know, the investor calls and all of these CEOs are talking about, you know, why their company is doing well.

00:52:00.960 And what the and the mentions of inflation were up week to week on those investor calls by eight hundred percent.

00:52:10.540 It is the highest on recorded in recorded history of a spike in inflation talks about why we're not going to have the quarter we were going to.

00:52:22.160 And so Bank of America wrote this and I want to quote this to you.

00:52:25.500 Inflation trends running hot as margins hit record highs.

00:52:28.760 The mentions of inflation quadrupled year after year after last week's mentioned had jumped nearly eight hundred percent year over year on an absolute basis.

00:52:39.000 Mention skyrocketed skyrocketed to record highs pointing to at the very least transitory hyperinflation ahead.

00:52:52.000 What do you.

00:52:52.960 I'm not smart enough to digest anything you have said in the last 30 seconds.

00:52:59.660 I'm a simple man.

00:53:01.600 All right, right, right.

00:53:03.060 My math. 0.97

00:53:03.700 My math is ridiculous. 0.65

00:53:04.740 But I want to tell you two things.

00:53:06.520 All right.

00:53:07.300 So I go to the gas station and I put the little nozzle in my car.

00:53:12.920 I can do that.

00:53:13.620 It took me two years to figure out how to do it.

00:53:15.760 But I can do it.

00:53:16.400 A hundred days ago, I was paying a dollar less a gallon that I'm paying now.

00:53:24.820 All right.

00:53:25.120 So I'm paying a dollar more on Long Island for every gallon of gas that I put in my car.

00:53:31.000 And I'm doing self-serve here.

00:53:33.200 I'm not having some guy named Lenny put the stuff in my car.

00:53:36.300 It's me.

00:53:36.720 And when I go to the grocery store, which I don't do very much, I have to confess, but I pay the bill.

00:53:44.980 Groceries here are up about 25 percent back.

00:53:48.780 All right.

00:53:49.600 So gas is going up.

00:53:51.580 Groceries are going up.

00:53:52.780 I understand home building materials are going to go up.

00:53:55.400 That's what inflation is.

00:53:57.400 OK.

00:53:57.840 Yep.

00:53:58.060 So what you could buy 100 days ago for $1.82 a gallon is now $2.82 a gallon.

00:54:05.500 Hang on, hang on.

00:54:07.800 Go ahead.

00:54:08.800 I know they feel it, but here's what Biden says.

00:54:12.860 Biden's administration is saying that's just because of COVID.

00:54:17.020 People weren't making things.

00:54:18.640 And so that's why things are going so high.

00:54:20.840 It has nothing to do with money supply.

00:54:23.140 Do you believe that?

00:54:23.960 I think we had COVID for just about a year since before Joe was inaugurated, I think.

00:54:32.280 And we didn't have this.

00:54:34.060 So I'm just a simple man.

00:54:36.080 But I go, didn't COVID start about February 2020?

00:54:41.120 Yeah.

00:54:41.660 Yeah.

00:54:41.780 But people weren't buying things, Bill.

00:54:43.900 They weren't buying things.

00:54:45.020 And they had lots of supply on the shelves.

00:54:48.080 I was buying stuff.

00:54:49.600 I bought gas.

00:54:50.340 I know.

00:54:50.580 I bought food.

00:54:51.420 See, you need food to live back.

00:54:53.660 See, you had to buy food even if COVID was there because you'll die if you don't eat.

00:54:59.400 Look, all I'm trying to tell you is this.

00:55:02.220 Joe Biden does not have a blanking clue about how to run this country.

00:55:08.220 And that is not a partisan statement or an ideological statement or a party statement.

00:55:13.020 And I am going to tell you, I know you have to take a break and sell lots of stuff because

00:55:17.920 everybody wants a sponsor on the Glenn Beck program.

00:55:21.620 But when we come back, I'm going to tell you why organized criminals, mafia chieftains love Joe Biden.

00:55:32.760 60 seconds away from that relief factor.

00:55:38.220 We need to tell you about relief factor.

00:55:40.680 Margaret lives in Pennsylvania.

00:55:42.580 She likes to do a lot of walking for exercise. 0.98

00:55:45.900 Uh, and she, you know, she is somebody who is looking at how do I get better?

00:55:52.280 How do I get better?

00:55:53.040 She had problems in her lower back and her legs.

00:55:55.720 She just kept walking.

00:55:58.240 Uh, and then she couldn't, she couldn't even really get around and do any kind of daily chores.

00:56:05.080 She was scared about her future.

00:56:06.900 She started to take some relief factor.

00:56:09.520 She heard about it on this program and now her pain is gone.

00:56:13.260 She says, quote, within a few weeks, I was back to walking for exercise every day.

00:56:18.420 She got her life back.

00:56:19.720 You can too.

00:56:20.860 Relief factor, not a drug, but developed by doctors and 70% of the people who try it go on to order more.

00:56:25.960 Order the three week quick start for only $19.95.

00:56:45.740 So why does the mob love Joe Biden?

00:56:49.160 Okay.

00:56:49.640 So, um, killing the mob is a, uh, history of organized crime and we take you right up to the present moment.

00:56:56.540 So a hundred days ago, when Joe Biden came in, the first thing he did was knock out all the border protections that Donald Trump had installed.

00:57:07.100 It took Trump three years to get the border under control.

00:57:09.980 He finally did.

00:57:11.440 All right.

00:57:11.880 In a day, Biden knocked out all the border protections, stopped the building of the wall and basically stopped people from, um, being confined to Mexico.

00:57:24.160 They could come across.

00:57:25.300 In that time, 400,000 migrants have arrived in the New York, in the United States illegally.

00:57:32.940 Now, some of those want asylum, but it's 400,000.

00:57:36.700 Just picture that from Brownsville to San Diego, 400,000 foreign nationals are here in a hundred days.

00:57:43.720 What that did was it diverted all of the border patrols attention and every other federal agency on the border to care for those people, to feed them, to shelter them, to process them.

00:57:55.840 So what then was that was lacking drug interdiction that was left to the side because all of the people in charge of the drug interdiction had to be used to help the migrants. 0.50

00:58:12.520 Are you with me so far?

00:58:14.360 Yep.

00:58:14.600 Yep.

00:58:14.800 So the result of that, go ahead.

00:58:18.280 I was going to say, I, I, I think you could go a step further.

00:58:21.440 Not only is nobody paying attention.

00:58:23.440 Okay.

00:58:23.860 Go ahead.

00:58:24.080 Okay.

00:58:24.380 I'm sorry.

00:58:24.760 So all of the resources that were used under the Trump administration to stop narcotics from coming to the United States were gone.

00:58:32.560 The result was a flood of fentanyl, heroin, methamphetamine, and cocaine into this country.

00:58:41.020 Who controls the distribution of those drugs to the areas of the countries?

00:58:47.100 The mafia.

00:58:48.420 Still controls all of it.

00:58:50.060 The deal organized crime, American organized crime has with the Mexican cartels is you make it, you ship it, but you don't come here.

00:58:59.620 See, there are no Mexican cartels here in the United States because the American mobsters will not permit it.

00:59:07.440 The American mobsters never see the drugs.

00:59:10.060 They franchise the drugs out to drug gangs.

00:59:13.480 These are the people murdering children in Chicago, New York, L.A., and every other big city.

00:59:18.780 Okay.

00:59:18.920 They are the ones that retail the drugs to the addicts on the street.

00:59:24.440 The mafia doesn't see that, but the mafia controls that.

00:59:28.600 They allow the drug gangs to operate, and the drug gangs then pay them an enormous amount of money for the privilege of selling drugs in Harlem or in Bed-Stuy or in Compton, California.

00:59:44.560 That's how it works.

00:59:46.120 So today, there are more drugs in the USA than at any other time in history, and the mafia chieftains love Biden because Biden has an open border policy.

00:59:58.580 There you go.

01:00:00.240 Let me ask you this.

01:00:03.180 First of all, there's also the benefit directly to the cartels, not necessarily the U.S. mob, but the cartels, because they're making about $14 million a day on human trafficking across the border.

01:00:17.180 So there's another boom industry for them.

01:00:20.340 The human trafficking is chump change compared to what they make importing hard drugs into this country. 0.55

01:00:27.180 Hard drugs is a billion-dollar industry.

01:00:29.240 All of our social problems, right, the opioid crisis, organized crime, homelessness, organized crime.

01:00:36.620 Who do you think these homeless people are?

01:00:38.800 They're drug addicts.

01:00:40.100 They can't work. 0.91

01:00:41.420 They can't pay a mortgage.

01:00:43.120 They have to sit out there, and they want to sit out there, many of them, and get high all day long.

01:00:48.840 You say, how about some rehab?

01:00:50.160 They look at you like, you know, come on.

01:00:52.120 Not all of them.

01:00:53.340 Some of them want to improve, but a lot of them don't.

01:00:56.780 Well, that's all drug-related.

01:00:59.240 Violent crime, through the roof, murders.

01:01:01.640 You report it, I report it.

01:01:03.460 What is that?

01:01:03.920 Who are doing that?

01:01:04.800 The drug gangs are doing it.

01:01:06.340 It's not Bonnie and Clyde walking out of their house machine-gunning people down.

01:01:11.260 It's drug gangs in the poor neighborhood.

01:01:13.920 Why were we willing to look at the mobsters in the 1930s and not willing to look at the drug gangs today?

01:01:26.080 Because there's a race component today.

01:01:27.920 So I did a search on BillOReilly.com.

01:01:30.760 As you know, we do the No Spin News every night.

01:01:32.660 I told my crack staff, find me one article.

01:01:35.500 One.

01:01:36.340 That explains the massive amount of narcotics that are being shipped into the United States since Joe Biden is president.

01:01:43.260 Not one.

01:01:44.540 No local reporting.

01:01:46.140 No national reporting.

01:01:47.820 Nothing.

01:01:48.860 I'm the guy that's reporting it.

01:01:50.900 I'm the guy.

01:01:51.620 Now, you ask a very good question, Beck.

01:01:54.960 Why did organized crime get all the headlines in the past, but now we don't hear anything about it?

01:02:01.720 Because the organized crime industry is narcotics.

01:02:06.840 They do a little sports betting.

01:02:08.820 They do a little prostitution. 0.63

01:02:10.240 They own the porn industry.

01:02:11.560 Yeah, but that's not what they really do.

01:02:13.640 And the narcotics are centered in the inner cities.

01:02:18.480 So there's a racial component there.

01:02:20.880 The murders in Chicago are 90% African American. 0.74

01:02:25.660 That's why nothing's done.

01:02:27.060 Nothing's discussed.

01:02:28.320 They don't want it.

01:02:29.120 They don't.

01:02:29.700 They won't do it.

01:02:30.800 It's too explosive for the press to cover it.

01:02:34.640 And the politicians, forget it.

01:02:36.460 Forget it.

01:02:37.480 I mean, they have no clue.

01:02:38.980 They don't care.

01:02:40.740 And it's just business as usual.

01:02:43.540 So I want to ask you, I have to take another break.

01:02:48.260 But when we come back, I want to talk to you about the labor unions and what Biden is doing with the labor unions.

01:02:57.080 I mean, I've never seen anything like it.

01:03:00.380 I don't even know if FDR did as much for the labor unions as Joe Biden is.

01:03:07.220 And historically, the labor unions have been run by the mob.

01:03:11.380 Are they still?

01:03:12.960 And what does that mean?

01:03:14.860 More with Bill O'Reilly coming up in just a second.

01:03:17.360 By the way, his new book is called Killing the Mob.

01:03:20.720 It's a fantastic history book.

01:03:22.720 You'll love it.

01:03:23.420 Bill O'Reilly, Killing the Mob.

01:03:25.200 It's available wherever you buy books today.

01:03:27.640 And this is the Glenn Beck program.

01:03:35.920 Thank you, Pat.

01:03:36.820 Here's a word of wisdom for you.

01:03:38.240 Beware of tax preparers who won't sign their name to their taxes, to your taxes after doing them.

01:03:44.600 They could be sometimes are cyber criminals stealing your information for personal gain.

01:03:49.180 The cyber criminals wear a lot of hats and they're constantly updating and changing their schemes.

01:03:55.700 As a result, it is really easy to fall for some of these these nefarious plans.

01:04:03.260 It's important to understand that cyber crime is changing all the time and there's no way you could keep up with it.

01:04:08.800 I mean, there's no way any company or anybody can keep up with it.

01:04:12.120 Your bank is probably just watching your credit cards.

01:04:14.900 Well, there's one.

01:04:18.140 LifeLock is the best on the market, but they can't cover everything.

01:04:21.020 Nobody can stop all of it.

01:04:22.480 But they've been in the business forever and they are looking for the things that if you're just monitoring your credit, you're definitely going to miss.

01:04:31.040 Now, because it's changing all the time, they may miss something.

01:04:33.980 And that's why they have a specialized restoration specialist, a team dedicated.

01:04:39.520 If you become a victim, that is really worth its weight in gold.

01:04:49.120 Check out my show, Pat Gray Unleashed, every day, 7 to 9 a.m.

01:04:53.160 Right before this show or anytime and anywhere you get your podcasts.

01:05:02.880 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:05:05.080 We welcome back because it's Friday, Mr. Bill O'Reilly.

01:05:08.360 We've been talking about the news of the week.

01:05:10.000 He also has his new book out, Killing the Mob.

01:05:13.300 It is available everywhere now.

01:05:14.880 It's already number three on Amazon, probably ahead of some coloring book or something that is always number one.

01:05:23.280 But it's a great book.

01:05:25.940 It's all about the history of the mob in America.

01:05:28.740 And you'll understand not only our history, but you'll understand today's America a lot more.

01:05:35.100 Killing the Mob by Bill O'Reilly.

01:05:36.900 Bill, before the break, we were talking about the cartels and the mob here and what's happening on the border.

01:05:43.800 Let me take you to the mob in the labor unions.

01:05:48.960 And we have now this push for labor unions, unlike I've seen at any time in my life.

01:05:57.280 I remember in the 70s when labor unions were being pushed, but there was an outcry for some of those labor unions back then by regular people.

01:06:09.500 Or so it seemed to me, you know, I was younger.

01:06:12.640 And so it seemed to me just watching things that there was some call for labor unions because it was out of balance.

01:06:19.160 Right now, Americans do not want labor unions.

01:06:22.920 And they are we are being smothered by very powerful labor unions like the teachers union.

01:06:30.460 Connections to the mob.

01:06:31.540 Some unions in the United States of Trump.

01:06:35.860 I have a big chapter on how President Trump, when he was a businessman in New York, had to deal with the concrete union that put up his buildings.

01:06:45.260 And that was a mafia run operation.

01:06:47.500 And Trump admits it.

01:06:49.080 He says, I had these guys in my office and I had to negotiate with them because they ran the union in killing the mob.

01:06:55.120 I take you minute by minute through the assassination of Jimmy Hoffa, the Teamsters Union boss, who was mobbed up.

01:07:02.460 But today, some mobs are compromised because of the pension funds.

01:07:07.240 Of course, there are billions of dollars in those funds.

01:07:10.380 Pension funds and unions were used to build Las Vegas.

01:07:14.420 That whole city was built on mob pension fund money.

01:07:18.060 The teachers unions in America, very powerful.

01:07:20.800 And what the Biden administration Democratic Party is doing is putting together a coalition of union workers, of African-Americans, of other minority people, and of white liberals, particularly women.

01:07:38.720 And that coalition gave them power.

01:07:41.480 That defeated Donald Trump.

01:07:43.360 And they want to enhance that coalition.

01:07:46.060 And unions are a part of that.

01:07:48.100 That is why you're seeing all the goodies being given to the unions.

01:07:53.820 And even if the unions hurt the folks, the United States, as the teachers unions are certainly doing with COVID, it doesn't matter.

01:08:02.980 It doesn't matter.

01:08:03.960 The Democratic Party are going to enhance their power as much as possible.

01:08:07.280 Bill, there's one story that we covered this week, and I don't think anybody else was covering it.

01:08:14.040 And I highly recommend it to you, especially because of unions and mob connections.

01:08:18.460 But a little known benefit for the United States Federal Reserve, and I guess for the labor unions in some way or another, is in COVID emergency relief.

01:08:34.720 I was wondering, who is going to bail out the Fed?

01:08:37.840 I mean, you know, everybody's too big to fail.

01:08:40.440 The Fed has $9 trillion now on their balance sheet.

01:08:44.680 How are they going to get rid of that?

01:08:45.960 How are they going to sell all of those bonds when nobody is buying?

01:08:49.640 Apparently, in the COVID relief, they're now, the Fed is now allowed to sell to anyone where they couldn't do that before.

01:08:57.760 So now they can sell to anyone on the open market.

01:09:00.380 Well, guess who is now required, as of 2022, to invest one-third of their pension funds in Treasury bills?

01:09:10.780 The unions!

01:09:12.080 What a cozy little loop.

01:09:19.040 Yeah, total scam.

01:09:20.180 It's a scam.

01:09:20.720 Total scam.

01:09:21.400 Because we are now on the hook for the pensions, too.

01:09:24.960 This is how the federal government works, all right?

01:09:27.980 So whoever has power tries to engineer things behind the scenes to keep power, to get more power.

01:09:37.660 So if the unions are supporting the Democratic Party and there are billions of dollars to be invested,

01:09:44.500 why not invest it in the Democratic Party, which would be the Fed right now? 0.81

01:09:50.600 Because the Fed has to prop up, or at least try, the Biden administration's economic policies.

01:09:57.600 So this has, like, always been there, but now it's on steroids because nobody watches.

01:10:05.460 See, the diminishment of the press, the corruption of the corporate media,

01:10:09.540 has led to more and more and more corruption on the part of the federal government because nobody's watching them.

01:10:18.460 They don't watch them.

01:10:21.060 And so they can do what they want to do.

01:10:24.020 I mean, organized crime was able to assemble more power than any other entity in the United States from 1946 to 1962

01:10:31.920 because there was not one federal agency investigating them.

01:10:36.980 J. Edgar Hoover refused to do it because the mob had stuff on Hoover.

01:10:42.580 So they ran wild.

01:10:44.340 And it's the same thing now with the politicians.

01:10:46.960 If you're a liberal Democrat, no one is going to report on you.

01:10:51.740 And I go back to this horrendous drug border situation that not one reporter has even mentioned.

01:10:58.720 So we're living in a corrupt country right now, Beck.

01:11:04.020 The country is corrupt.

01:11:06.360 I know.

01:11:07.440 I know, unfortunately.

01:11:08.700 And I think that we are losing our FBI.

01:11:12.020 I talked to a former FBI agent just this week off the air, and he said,

01:11:17.260 for the first time in my life, I see what's going on inside the FBI and the Justice Department,

01:11:23.600 and I am afraid there is no justice in the country.

01:11:28.980 That if you are on the wrong side of whoever is now in charge,

01:11:34.620 that they will use the Justice Department and the FBI,

01:11:38.380 and they will get you if they want.

01:11:40.980 Yeah, that's terrifying.

01:11:43.080 Yeah, the FBI chief is Merrick Garland.

01:11:45.380 Now, Merrick Garland is a party apparatchik.

01:11:47.660 He always has been.

01:11:49.560 Now, you can make the same charge to William Barr,

01:11:52.520 but Barr really hosed Trump.

01:11:55.320 He did in the end.

01:11:56.920 He did.

01:11:57.340 All right?

01:11:57.620 He hosed him.

01:11:59.040 All right?

01:11:59.420 Now, Merrick Garland, he's going to do what the Trump, not the Trump,

01:12:05.000 the Biden people tell him to do, not Joe Biden.

01:12:07.360 Again, I'll go back to the president.

01:12:08.820 He doesn't know what's going on.

01:12:10.260 He has no capacity to understand.

01:12:13.340 This is a machine.

01:12:14.460 This is a machine.

01:12:15.640 Let me switch topics before we run out of time.

01:12:18.600 The Chinese rocket launcher crashing to Earth. 0.53

01:12:21.700 I want to play something from the U.S. military,

01:12:24.580 the same military that came out this week,

01:12:28.700 the chairman of the Joint Chiefs.

01:12:30.320 One of the key strengths of our military is diversity.

01:12:33.820 Our CIA released a recruiting video that was all about being woke

01:12:38.660 and, you know, a cisgender person that has an anxiety disorder,

01:12:44.360 strangely, but I'm now working for the CIA.

01:12:47.660 This is what our military said about this gigantic rocket launcher

01:12:53.980 that is falling to Earth and would be catastrophic

01:12:57.280 if it lands on population.

01:12:59.900 Listen to this.

01:13:00.300 What is the latest estimate of when and where this Chinese rocket will come down?

01:13:08.920 Do you consider it a potential threat to the U.S.?

01:13:13.100 And do you have a plan for shooting it down if necessary?

01:13:18.060 Thanks, David.

01:13:25.100 The latest estimates that I've seen is somewhere between the 8th and 9th,

01:13:30.400 you know, and the experts are still working on that.

01:13:34.480 At this point, we don't have a plan to shoot the rocket down.

01:13:38.200 And we're hopeful that it will land in a place where it won't harm anyone,

01:13:45.160 hopefully in the ocean or someplace like that.

01:13:50.020 Now, Bill, I'm hopeful that everything the Chinese military says

01:13:55.180 about coming after the United States,

01:13:57.500 I'm hopeful that that's just fantasy.

01:14:00.700 But I think we should prepare.

01:14:02.800 What does that say about our military and our state of preparedness? 1.00

01:14:09.640 Well, I don't think they can shoot down a stupid rocket anyway, 1.00

01:14:12.320 even if they wanted to. 1.00

01:14:13.980 But I love the guy's demeanor.

01:14:16.500 I mean, you know, we hope it falls in the ocean or someplace like that.

01:14:22.020 What?

01:14:22.760 I mean, a lake?

01:14:24.840 I mean, it's...

01:14:25.560 Or Australia.

01:14:27.720 Or Australia.

01:14:28.900 Someplace like that.

01:14:30.240 Yeah.

01:14:30.460 So, I mean, I think we're all just going to have to take our chances here,

01:14:34.240 which, of course, increases the anxiety disorder that I have.

01:14:40.140 Forget about the CIA.

01:14:42.580 Because it's becoming apparent to me that the Biden administration,

01:14:47.680 they're not hiring the best and brightest.

01:14:50.500 Are you getting that feeling back?

01:14:52.320 Yes.

01:14:52.740 Yes.

01:14:53.460 Guys are in charge of,

01:14:54.580 well, we really don't know where it's going to go,

01:14:59.280 and we hope it goes someplace like the ocean,

01:15:03.160 but maybe a lake would be okay.

01:15:06.360 All right.

01:15:07.320 Hang on.

01:15:07.700 One last question for you.

01:15:09.300 Yeah.

01:15:09.760 Next week, Wednesday,

01:15:13.040 New York opens again.

01:15:16.060 The New York Times wrote a story about,

01:15:19.200 it's coming so fast,

01:15:21.300 I don't know what to do.

01:15:22.600 People are panicking.

01:15:24.620 Can we still wear our masks?

01:15:26.980 How do we deal with this?

01:15:28.820 What is it going to be like in New York next week?

01:15:34.200 Well, people are going to still wear the mask, Beck,

01:15:36.720 because most of them are breaking into stores and stealing stuff.

01:15:40.440 So the mask hides their identity, right?

01:15:44.620 Right, right, right.

01:15:45.200 We don't have a mask problem here,

01:15:46.840 because most of the people are masked up so they can commit crimes.

01:15:51.640 So de Blasio is cleverly, cleverly, you know,

01:15:55.220 protecting people from COVID by encouraging criminality.

01:15:59.200 Crime.

01:15:59.760 You see the brilliance of that?

01:16:01.580 No, it is brilliant.

01:16:02.740 It is brilliant, just like a socialist to do that. 1.00

01:16:05.440 But it's a mental disorder. 1.00

01:16:07.280 It really is a mental disorder with many people in California 0.98

01:16:11.260 and the Northeast, 0.91

01:16:13.380 because they have been indoctrinated on this.

01:16:16.840 It's craziness.

01:16:18.820 But Beck, many of them are not good-looking people.

01:16:22.700 So there's a vested interest to wear the mask.

01:16:26.900 All right.

01:16:27.540 All right. 0.72

01:16:28.220 May you wear a mask for the rest of your life.

01:16:30.820 Bill O'Reilly, thank you so much.

01:16:33.240 We will.

01:16:34.260 There's a note to the producers.

01:16:35.860 Make sure that we have Bill on.

01:16:37.060 Maybe on Tuesday of next week or whenever he has time to talk about The Mob,

01:16:40.900 because it is a great book, and I'm fascinated by the stories,

01:16:43.600 and I think the audience will be, too.

01:16:45.440 It is Killing the Mob by Bill O'Reilly, available wherever you buy books now.

01:16:49.360 Thanks, Bill.

01:16:50.400 Okay, Beck.

01:16:51.120 We'll talk next week.

01:16:52.080 Thank you for being generous.

01:16:53.520 Appreciate it.

01:16:54.060 You bet.

01:16:54.620 You got it.

01:16:55.860 All right.

01:16:57.800 Boy, he's so gracious.

01:16:59.960 So gracious.

01:17:01.380 Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

01:17:03.760 It's MyPillow.

01:17:04.380 So, I am wearing MyPillow slippers all the time now.

01:17:11.340 Pat, did your dad ever wear slippers outside of the house?

01:17:14.800 No.

01:17:15.320 Thank goodness, no.

01:17:16.480 Really?

01:17:17.180 Yeah.

01:17:17.760 He did not.

01:17:18.460 My dad did it all the time, and it was like,

01:17:20.120 Dad, stop wearing slippers, will you?

01:17:22.960 What difference does it make?

01:17:25.060 With black socks, like, black knee-high socks on as well.

01:17:28.820 Oh, no.

01:17:29.520 It's just so bad.

01:17:31.900 It was just so bad.

01:17:33.920 I am proudly wearing my slippers out now in public.

01:17:38.200 They have rubber soles, so you can wear them inside and outside.

01:17:41.520 They're really comfortable.

01:17:42.320 They look kind of like moccasins.

01:17:43.980 I mean, they're clearly slippers if you look at them,

01:17:47.660 but I'm at the point where I don't care.

01:17:50.200 They are so incredibly comfortable.

01:17:53.520 They are made with a layer of impact gel,

01:17:57.320 and they got foam in it,

01:17:59.420 and, you know, like lamb's wool kind of material inside.

01:18:02.540 Really, really comfortable.

01:18:04.800 And I think for dads, stylish enough,

01:18:07.800 especially when you're out with the kids.

01:18:10.200 It's MyPillow.

01:18:11.300 You can get the slippers right now,

01:18:13.040 a 40% discount off the MySlippers,

01:18:16.740 and if you use the promo code BECK,

01:18:20.240 plus the slippers come with a one-year warranty

01:18:22.840 and a 60-day money-back guarantee.

01:18:25.380 So if you order them and you're like,

01:18:27.120 I don't know, they weren't embarrassing enough for my children,

01:18:30.400 you know, you can send them back,

01:18:32.500 but you'll probably keep them for the comfort.

01:18:34.160 They are really tremendous.

01:18:49.200 Coming up next hour,

01:19:08.460 you're going to meet an incredible woman,

01:19:11.420 the Executive Director of Voices of Black Mothers United.

01:19:15.360 These are moms who are like, 1.00

01:19:16.720 hey, let's talk about all of the killing in the inner cities.

01:19:21.880 Can we, if we're going to say Black Lives Matter,

01:19:23.900 they matter?

01:19:25.540 And it's a group of moms getting together.

01:19:28.380 Very powerful.

01:19:29.540 Join us next hour.

01:19:31.560 Also, I just want to just stop for a second

01:19:35.040 and thank the director of my daughter.

01:19:38.340 She's in a new musical here in the Dallas area.

01:19:42.060 It's Les Miserables, and I saw it last night,

01:19:44.760 and I'll talk about that in a second.

01:19:46.160 But when she came home after she got,

01:19:48.880 you know, the role assignments,

01:19:50.980 she came home and I said,

01:19:53.620 what part did you get?

01:19:54.740 And she said, 0.98

01:19:55.960 Dad, I play prostitute number one, 0.99

01:19:59.600 or prostitute number three, 0.99

01:20:01.180 and prostitute number four. 0.97

01:20:03.260 And I'm like, fantastic. 0.97

01:20:04.920 So I met the director last night,

01:20:06.620 and I thanked him for a very proud moment

01:20:09.120 where my daughter came home and said, 1.00

01:20:11.040 Dad, I'm a whore. 1.00

01:20:12.640 And it was special. 0.99

01:20:14.140 And I think something that every father looks forward to.

01:20:18.400 But she's in this production,

01:20:20.580 and I don't know where this talent is coming from.

01:20:23.920 The kid that plays Jean Valjean,

01:20:26.200 the Cosetteism, all of them,

01:20:28.820 Fontaine, the major roles,

01:20:31.340 they're like 15, 16, 17 years old.

01:20:34.420 And that is not an easy play to carry off.

01:20:38.220 I could not believe how good it was.

01:20:41.300 And my wife was making fun of me the whole time. 1.00

01:20:43.980 We were sitting in the front row,

01:20:45.060 and my daughter said,

01:20:47.660 Dad, she never made eye contact with me.

01:20:49.960 She's like,

01:20:50.740 and I could hear you sniffling and sobbing,

01:20:54.940 and I don't like it.

01:20:57.580 Stop.

01:21:00.440 Okay.

01:21:01.400 How proud you must be.

01:21:02.740 I know, yeah, I mean,

01:21:04.300 I went to a what would be defined

01:21:06.180 as a fine arts high school now.

01:21:10.000 And I don't think we were that good.

01:21:13.020 I mean, the talent,

01:21:14.980 and I don't know what it is.

01:21:16.080 Maybe it's, I don't know.

01:21:17.700 The talent is not as,

01:21:20.320 I don't think it was ever as good as it is now.

01:21:23.820 It's truly remarkable.

01:21:25.240 There's been some talent inflation over the years,

01:21:28.120 I think, and so.

01:21:29.740 You think so?

01:21:30.260 Yeah.

01:21:30.980 Are we printing too much talent?

01:21:32.840 Is that what's happening?

01:21:33.420 God's just printing too much talent.

01:21:35.860 Yeah.

01:21:36.140 Yeah.

01:21:36.540 Okay.

01:21:37.040 All right.

01:21:37.780 Well, it's up to him.

01:21:39.320 All right.

01:21:40.180 Next hour.

01:21:41.280 Another power hour you don't want to miss.

01:21:44.460 Some people speaking common sense.

01:21:49.800 You don't want to miss it.

01:21:51.860 Voicesofblackmothers.com,

01:21:53.200 Woodsoncenter.org.

01:21:54.620 Next hour.

01:21:56.700 Stand by.

01:22:02.740 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:22:10.860 Thank you very much, Hillary.

01:22:11.900 I want to talk to you a little bit about what happened in Texas yesterday.

01:22:15.260 They just signed,

01:22:16.540 the Senate just signed a constitutional carry,

01:22:19.480 which means you got a legal gun,

01:22:21.460 you can carry it any way you want.

01:22:22.740 I want you to know it's going to become easier and easier to do that in some states,

01:22:28.580 but please understand that if you pull your gun and draw it on somebody,

01:22:34.000 you have legal issues like crazy,

01:22:37.140 just crazy.

01:22:39.540 Protecting your family,

01:22:40.680 protecting yourself safely,

01:22:42.300 unless you're going to the range,

01:22:44.400 unless you really are a shooter,

01:22:46.600 you might want to consider a taser.

01:22:49.500 Tasers now have a non-lethal self-protection device,

01:22:54.420 small,

01:22:55.020 lightweight enough to carry on you or in your glove compartment or purse,

01:22:58.680 powerful enough to incapacitate an attacker,

01:23:01.040 also comes with a GPS alert.

01:23:04.600 So when you fire that GPS sends a signal.

01:23:07.440 So it says there's trouble here.

01:23:09.220 Save 20% right now by using the promo code Beck.

01:23:12.740 Do it now.

01:23:13.800 Taser,

01:23:14.540 T-A-S-E-R.com.

01:23:17.680 Promo code Beck.

01:23:28.080 What you are about to hear

01:23:29.760 is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:23:35.780 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:23:42.560 Hello, America.

01:23:43.640 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:23:45.180 So glad that you have joined us today.

01:23:47.700 It has been an incredible podcast that you have to go back and listen to if you missed any of it.

01:23:53.840 We started with Jordan Peterson.

01:23:55.140 Then I talked to this very brave woman who is going in and trying to win a seat on the school board in the Portland, Oregon area.

01:24:08.500 She is extraordinarily brave.

01:24:11.880 Her whole thing is standing up against critical race theory. 1.00

01:24:15.900 We've got to start teaching truth and not the opposite of everything that Martin Luther King preached.

01:24:24.460 It has taken us decades to really understand what Martin Luther King was saying and putting it into practice.

01:24:32.400 And now we're going the opposite direction.

01:24:35.880 We also had Bill O'Reilly on with us.

01:24:37.900 And this hour is going to be a power hour that you don't want to miss.

01:24:41.740 I'm going to introduce you to a couple of people that have started a movement called the Voices of Black Mothers United.

01:24:53.900 It's a new movement to unite mothers of fallen children and community partners to amplify their voices in an effort to heal and strengthen the community.

01:25:04.000 We always say, why is no one talking about the kids that are being killed?

01:25:10.180 This is a problem.

01:25:12.440 What can we do to help?

01:25:13.780 Why isn't anyone talking about it?

01:25:16.020 Because black lives do matter.

01:25:17.960 If you look at that as a slogan, it's absolutely true.

01:25:22.020 If you look at it as a movement or a political statement, it's dangerous.

01:25:27.700 But I think everybody in this audience knows that black lives do matter.

01:25:33.060 So what are you going to do?

01:25:34.060 How are you going to help?

01:25:35.520 Oh, buckle up. 1.00

01:25:36.680 Great, great interview in 60 seconds.

01:25:40.180 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:25:46.360 If you are a homeowner, you're the type who is fiscally responsible right now, you could be a phone call away from a massive change for the better in your financial life.

01:25:55.440 Mortgage rates began sinking over a year ago, and they are in the 2% range now.

01:26:01.740 If you have a 4% mortgage, even a high 3% mortgage, if you can get it down to 2.7, 2.5, 2.3, oh my gosh, the amount of money that you will save every month.

01:26:14.260 Now imagine if you roll in your credit cards.

01:26:17.720 If you have high interest credit card and you know that debt is just toxic, as those interest rates begin to rise on credit cards, and believe me, they will soon, you are going to have trouble even paying them, let alone paying them off.

01:26:35.300 Roll them into your mortgage without resetting your loan, and save money, get that monkey off your back, and be financially secure.

01:26:45.360 Call 800-906-2440.

01:26:49.220 It's 906-2440.

01:26:52.220 That's a 1-800 number.

01:26:53.680 Or you can just go to AmericanFinancing.net.

01:26:56.640 They're waiting for you now at 800-906-2440, AmericanFinancing.net.

01:27:02.820 American Financing, NMLS, 1-82334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

01:27:17.800 I want to reintroduce you to a friend of the program, a friend of, I think, Freedom in America.

01:27:26.640 And a guy that I'm sorry I didn't know a lot earlier, Bob Woodson.

01:27:32.860 He's the founder and president of the Woodson Center.

01:27:35.240 He has a new book that is coming out called Red, White, and Black.

01:27:38.820 But I have him on because it's the Woodson Center.

01:27:42.380 This is a, if you really want to help, you really want to help, donate your time, your energy, your prayers, or your money to the Woodson Center.

01:27:56.360 And Bob Woodson, he's been in the inner cities forever.

01:28:00.900 And he actually is teaching the things that strengthen people, not tear them down.

01:28:08.480 And he's making a huge impact.

01:28:11.260 And he's just started something new.

01:28:14.080 And I want him to introduce the executive director of that.

01:28:17.660 Hi, Bob.

01:28:18.020 How are you?

01:28:19.540 I'm just fine, Lance.

01:28:21.180 Just pleased to be back.

01:28:22.420 Yeah.

01:28:23.420 By the way, I read your 1776unites.com, the curriculum.

01:28:32.280 Bob, it's fantastic.

01:28:35.040 It is really, really fantastic.

01:28:37.560 I hope our listeners have been downloading that.

01:28:40.640 Because I think every family should be using that and teaching that.

01:28:44.800 And every school should be using and teaching it.

01:28:46.940 It's really powerful stuff.

01:28:48.580 So thank you for that.

01:28:49.440 Thank you.

01:28:52.600 Well, as you know, the Woodson Center.

01:28:55.140 I'm sorry, Glenn.

01:28:56.020 Go ahead.

01:28:56.460 No, go ahead.

01:28:57.040 No, please.

01:28:57.620 Go ahead.

01:28:58.580 I was just giving your listeners, again, a reminder that we've been around 40 years.

01:29:03.220 I founded it 40 years ago.

01:29:04.900 And we have 2,500 low-income grassroots leaders in 39 states of all racial groups.

01:29:13.340 And they are developing solutions and have, over the decades, solutions to poverty and despair, drug addiction, predatory violence.

01:29:25.380 They are healing agents, what I call antibodies, in those communities that have developed solutions from within.

01:29:35.320 And the Woodson Center has been a source of technical support.

01:29:39.660 We help direct funding to those initiatives, and we train them.

01:29:43.920 We consider them social entrepreneurs.

01:29:45.880 And so they have accomplished some amazing improvements of reducing violence, of helping to develop jobs and small businesses in there.

01:30:01.220 So there's a whole wellspring of healthy elements in some of the most toxic, drug-intested neighborhoods.

01:30:09.680 So if anybody doesn't know, Bob Woodson, Bob used to be the president of the American Enterprise Institute for a while.

01:30:20.460 Well, I was his president, yeah.

01:30:21.380 Yeah, so, I mean, these are time-tested, real, principled techniques that produce results and pull people out of poverty.

01:30:36.820 The one thing, Bob, that we've talked about is, I mean, I think Black Lives Matter, the organization, is a very dangerous organization. 1.00

01:30:45.880 And for the one reason, just this one reason alone, and there's a lot, they are saying that we need to reimagine policing.

01:30:54.260 I'm all for getting rid of bad police officers, 100%.

01:30:58.140 But if you try to reimagine my police force, I'm going to move from that area.

01:31:04.920 But the people who are at the bottom end of the scale, who have the real crime in their area and the gangs and the shootings,

01:31:12.240 they can't move, and they're the ones being abandoned.

01:31:16.460 So you started this, and will you bring Sylvia in on this and introduce her?

01:31:23.060 Yes, I will.

01:31:24.560 As I said, one of the ways, if you look at the polling, 80% of Black Americans, particularly low-income Black Americans,

01:31:32.440 are opposed to defunding the police.

01:31:34.620 60% of Blacks do not believe racial discrimination is a principal barrier to their successful future.

01:31:42.240 And so, but you would never know that, because the spokesperson for the Black community say the opposite.

01:31:51.840 So what we're doing at the Woodson Center is we go into our constituents and give them an opportunity to speak and act for themselves.

01:32:01.980 And that's why Sylvia has had a long-term relationship with us.

01:32:05.380 And so when she called me and said, Bob, we need to do something about this, we immediately swung into action.

01:32:14.560 And Sylvia is the organizer of Voices of Black Mothers United, and she can tell you herself why she got involved

01:32:24.220 and the important role that we can talk about what they're doing.

01:32:28.560 So, Sylvia, why don't you share with them why you got involved with this, what happened with your daughter, and just how it happened.

01:32:37.020 Sylvia Bennett Stone, welcome to the program.

01:32:41.040 Good morning.

01:32:43.820 How are you?

01:32:44.760 Well, I'll start out with saying, well, this morning, you know, it's challenging because it's Mother's Day weekend,

01:32:53.120 and I am a mother who lost her child to Mother's Day, but that shadow of a gal can go over and over.

01:33:06.180 Hold on, hold on, hold on.

01:33:07.820 To the main studio, am I hearing this break up just on my end, or is this what it sounds like on air?

01:33:15.060 It's breaking up.

01:33:16.000 Let me take a quick break, and let's reestablish a connection, Sylvia,

01:33:20.220 because I don't want to miss a word that you're saying, and if she's on a speakerphone, have her pick it up

01:33:26.180 or get to a hard line, because what she has to say is really important, especially, as she just said, on Mother's Day weekend.

01:33:33.580 Let me take a quick pause and tell you about real estate agentsitrust.com.

01:33:40.540 This is a company that I started years ago, and it was really built out of frustration.

01:33:46.500 I didn't know how to hire the right real estate agent.

01:33:49.380 I didn't know how to interview them.

01:33:51.100 I didn't know what made a good real estate agent other than that felt good.

01:33:54.500 I think we got a good deal on that.

01:33:56.760 And how do you repeat that?

01:33:59.340 Well, I started doing some work for a company that involved what the Wall Street Journal said

01:34:06.440 was the 500 best real estate agents in the country.

01:34:10.840 And I got to know these real estate agents, and I got to know their best practices, and I started to see a pattern.

01:34:16.840 And so I talked to them about it.

01:34:18.880 So what we've done with Real Estate Agents I Trust is made a free service to you.

01:34:23.280 We've gone and looked for that pattern in your area.

01:34:27.580 If we don't have a real estate agent that we trust in your area, we won't recommend just anybody.

01:34:34.240 We've really done our homework on these real estate agents.

01:34:37.860 I want you to do your own homework, but this is a free service to you.

01:34:41.560 We'll give you that name or a couple of names even in some cases in your area,

01:34:46.760 and then you interview them yourself and see if you don't notice a difference.

01:34:51.160 These are the people that can get your home sold fast, on time, with the least hassle.

01:34:56.500 They can help you if you've got problems selling your house.

01:35:00.900 They will give you the advice.

01:35:01.920 Here's what you have to do to your house to get it sold and get you the people as well to help do that.

01:35:10.680 And on the other end, they're going to make it as painless and as good of a deal as you can possibly get on the house that you want to buy.

01:35:19.740 It's realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:35:21.660 The name says it all.

01:35:23.560 Realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:35:24.900 Ten seconds.

01:35:25.720 Station ID.

01:35:26.280 We are back, and we are joined by Sylvia Bennett Stone, the Executive Director of Voices for Black Mothers United.

01:35:49.100 Sylvia, I know it's painful on this weekend to talk about what got you to where you are, but can you start there?

01:35:59.000 Yes, absolutely, and thank you for having me on.

01:36:02.580 You bet.

01:36:02.860 I can play over and over in my head.

01:36:07.620 On July 4th, 2004, when my daughter and her best friend were shot with one bullet, caught in the crossfire of guys shooting at each other.

01:36:20.740 Now, I played this back over in my head, because if the police was there, could they have de-escalated and stopped them from shooting or deterred them from shooting?

01:36:36.300 And perhaps if that happened, the girls would be alive today.

01:36:40.740 Now, I just can't imagine communities without the police right now, and yes, I do agree with you in terms of activities that some police officers may do that is outside of what they're sworn to do.

01:37:03.500 However, we need the police to regulate in our communities.

01:37:11.300 We really do.

01:37:12.620 The number of shootings right now and violent killings is just off the charts.

01:37:20.640 I have talked to so many African-American parents and grandparents that say they are afraid of some of the youth in their community.

01:37:32.180 And it's a new kind of thing that there is this drug culture that has taken over.

01:37:41.540 And if your kids don't get caught up into it, your kids can be killed by it easily and they need the police.

01:37:50.640 I talked to some people who are marching with Black Lives Matter and didn't believe any of the stuff that Black Lives Matter says politically.

01:37:57.860 But they were.

01:37:58.840 I said, why are you here then?

01:38:00.340 And they said, because we need help.

01:38:03.140 Somebody needs to do something.

01:38:04.840 We need help.

01:38:05.840 So, how is your organization, how can we help you, and what is your organization designed to do?

01:38:14.920 Okay, we have three initiatives, three primary initiatives.

01:38:19.860 And one that is advocacy.

01:38:22.000 We want to help heal those who've been affected by violence.

01:38:27.620 Their children or a family member have been killed, and we want to help them heal and get better.

01:38:33.900 But that healing also helps heal their communities.

01:38:38.040 It helps heal their surroundings.

01:38:40.440 When someone see me doing better and me doing positive things in my community, we're hoping that becomes contagious.

01:38:50.360 And that's the healing and advocacy part of it.

01:38:54.820 I think the, hang on, before we move on, I don't know if you remember.

01:38:59.820 I think it was about the same time you lost your daughter, the Amish shooting, where all of those girls were shot.

01:39:07.240 And the healing that happened in that community was phenomenal because of forgiveness and perspective.

01:39:16.700 And I just feel, I mean, I don't want to live like the Amish, but I feel like we'd be a lot better off if we were Amish, you know, and had that attitude. 1.00

01:39:25.520 And if we learn to forgive, you know, one of the things that I teach our youth in the community is this five-self check.

01:39:36.840 You know, one, know your triggers.

01:39:39.960 Don't go into communities, you know, you're having issues with someone over there.

01:39:45.640 Those are the type of things that bring and make this escalate into something that someone is going to lose their life.

01:39:55.220 And it's not even necessary.

01:39:58.240 I can guarantee you those two guys who were shooting and killed our girls probably don't even know what they were shooting over at this point in time.

01:40:08.640 But yet I'm left with a lifetime of a broken heart because of something that could have been solved or resolved.

01:40:22.240 But yet me, myself, as thousands and thousands of other mothers, we're left with broken hearts.

01:40:32.060 Could you imagine the mother of a two-year-old who were sleeping in their crib and a bullet goes through the window and kills that child?

01:40:43.280 No. No, I can't.

01:40:45.400 Broken hearts.

01:40:46.020 I mean, I can't.

01:40:48.760 I've thought about this many times with, you know, we've had problems in the family or whatever, and I've thought about I can't lose this child.

01:40:57.520 I mean, I don't know how you even go on, and especially when it's something like your kid being shot in a crib.

01:41:07.660 They weren't involved in anything.

01:41:10.060 No.

01:41:11.120 It's faith-shaking almost.

01:41:14.440 And you have more and more children, innocent children, that are dying just like that.

01:41:23.680 So when you said a minute ago, you said if the police could have intervened, maybe my daughter and her friend would be alive.

01:41:34.040 How do you deal with the, like, for instance, the story in Ohio recently where the police did intervene, and I think they did the right thing,

01:41:44.060 but now they're being charged as killers of this young teenager, but they were trying to stop the other teenager from being stabbed.

01:41:52.760 How do you reconcile this?

01:41:56.540 I personalized it, okay?

01:42:00.360 I've experienced something that was similar.

01:42:03.920 My granddaughter, new high school freshman, some of the girls didn't like her, and they went to her house to jump on her. 1.00

01:42:18.080 What?

01:42:18.340 Like, brass knuckles, sticks, whatever.

01:42:22.360 And thank God her mother was at home.

01:42:25.640 And the mother had to actually get to the point to where she had to intervene with bringing her gun outside, 1.00

01:42:36.240 saying, you're not going to hurt my daughter.

01:42:41.360 This is not going to happen.

01:42:43.280 And me, me, myself, as a mother who's had to put a child in a grave, I can't even imagine putting another child in a grave because

01:42:55.300 Oh, my gosh.

01:42:56.400 No one else's actions who cannot say to articulate how to diffuse a situation, how to get out of a situation, how to walk away from a situation.

01:43:08.820 I will not.

01:43:10.720 So I told her to do whatever you have to do to protect my granddaughter.

01:43:16.460 Oh, my gosh.

01:43:20.000 Note to the producers, can we please bump the next guest to Monday?

01:43:24.900 I know it's specifically for Friday, but I think it will still work on Monday.

01:43:29.220 And deepest apologies.

01:43:30.980 But I just want to continue our conversation here with Sylvia, because we only got to one of the three points of what your organization is doing.

01:43:41.360 And I think it's important that you express it.

01:43:43.480 Can you stay with us for a few more minutes?

01:43:44.980 Oh, absolutely.

01:43:47.680 Okay.

01:43:49.060 We're talking about the Voices of Black Mothers United initiative.

01:43:53.400 And I don't think that this is an organization that's going to get very much mainstream coverage, because it is looking at a different way of dealing with what we're dealing.

01:44:05.260 And they will actually talk about the violence that is happening in their own communities.

01:44:11.160 And it's got to stop.

01:44:13.240 And anyone who has an answer that is based in common sense and common decency, I want to support.

01:44:20.360 I think you feel the same way.

01:44:22.580 You can find out more about it at VoicesOfBlackMothers.com.

01:46:12.380 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:46:13.920 Hello, America.

01:46:14.620 It's Friday and it's Mother's Day weekend.

01:46:18.060 We have Bob Woodson, founder and president of the Woodson Center, author of a new book coming out, Red, White and Black.

01:46:23.660 That is I haven't read it yet, but I'm guessing it's a must read.

01:46:27.580 Sylvia Bennett Stone is also with us.

01:46:30.200 She's the executive director of Voices of Black Mothers United.

01:46:33.760 You can find them at Voices of Black Mothers United dot com.

01:46:38.980 Sylvia, I want to talk to you about the three pillars and I'm going over the website.

01:46:47.240 And the first one is advocacy.

01:46:50.580 And if I'm not if I'm not mistaken, it's advocacy, family, community, intervention and positive police training.

01:46:58.620 So let's start with advocacy.

01:47:01.040 What does that mean?

01:47:02.440 Advocacy, meaning that we actually go into the community to try to help heal the community.

01:47:11.400 We start with the mothers who've lost children's daughters and then we pour that over into the community where the mothers are healing.

01:47:23.360 The community can heal long as we hold on to hunger and unforgiveness, unforgiveness, and that makes us and then makes outside of our homeless will.

01:47:38.020 We're losing you again.

01:47:39.900 I don't know if you've moved to another place.

01:47:42.180 No.

01:47:42.360 So you go into the community and you have volunteers from faith-based organizations, but excuse me for saying, but some faith-based organizations are less faith-based and more political-based.

01:47:56.840 But you are talking about people who are really faith-based and you are bringing peace to the community and to the families.

01:48:05.840 That's correct.

01:48:06.680 We're talking about the faith-based that goes outside of the church walls.

01:48:12.980 We're talking about the faith-based who's willing to walk the streets and talk to the drug dealer and talk to the drug user to say, this is not life. 0.57

01:48:25.760 This is not living because that escalates over into violence every time.

01:48:33.120 Let me bring Bob in real quick.

01:48:34.860 Bob, do you have any results on going in and meeting with drug dealers and meeting with drug addicts and seeing positive results?

01:48:46.060 Absolutely.

01:48:46.880 We, if you, if you go on our website and took violence-free zone Milwaukee, where we have our violence-free zone efforts, where neighborhood leaders, many of them ex-offenders themselves, through God's grace,

01:49:01.300 they became transformed, and they became transformed, and they are witnesses to others that transformation is possible.

01:49:07.460 Six months ago, the Alliance of Concerned Men, one of our groups in D.C., Glenn, actually went into one of the worst crime areas, and for three months, they didn't have a single act of violence.

01:49:22.220 Three months.

01:49:22.880 Now, that should have been celebrated, but it was reported and ignored, and there are other islands of excellence that have been created by people indigenous who are faith-centered.

01:49:34.980 But also, I want Sylvia to talk about the other initiative where mothers are working with the police at the site of a homicide, and as a consequence of changing the way the police process that, they have dramatically increased the number of closures, so people are encouraged to testify.

01:49:55.980 I would, Sylvia would talk about the role that mothers are playing, actually working with the police at a homicide scene, and acting as a liaison with the families, and as a result of building this trust, they have had some dramatic results of closing homicides.

01:50:13.540 Sylvia, can you talk about that?

01:50:15.680 Sylvia, what happens at a homicide scene, you have the family who's just been notified their loved one has been killed.

01:50:26.560 A lot of times, their loved one is still lying there on the ground.

01:50:30.640 We partner with Chief Rodney Moreau.

01:50:33.940 He's the ex-police chief who saw the need to change how the homicide scene is processed.

01:50:44.140 And one of the things that he brought to the forefront is that it's very difficult for them, as a police officer, to assess the homicide scene in the hope to get clues to close those homicides and yet deal with a distraught family.

01:51:03.580 We, as advocates, we will go in with the police to homicide scenes because we mothers who've lost children know better how to deal with a family that's distraught and has just received news that their child or loved one is deceased and been killed, actually.

01:51:26.700 I think that's remarkable.

01:51:30.660 What are the results of that?

01:51:32.640 Closure.

01:51:35.680 The police are allowed to get clues to help solve that homicide more so than them dealing with a distraught family and then the clues and the evidence is messed up on the other end.

01:51:53.920 So they deal with their job and we deal with the family in terms of guiding them and calming them and getting them to the point of where they know that the police at that point is not their enemy.

01:52:09.120 And if they know that, then a lot of times they can, the police can get information from the family that helped close their homicide.

01:52:21.640 So is this part of the second part of the initiative, family and community intervention, or is this promoting positive policing?

01:52:31.640 Because those are the last two.

01:52:33.040 It is actually a little bit of both, but it's community intervention more so because we are out there, hands on, boots on the ground with the community.

01:52:45.820 But another part of our community intervention is actually doing work in the community as a prevention measure.

01:52:57.400 In what way?

01:52:58.460 We have mothers who's organized as an organization and what we do is we try to engage police and community in conversation.

01:53:15.280 We just had an event, in fact, in Alabama, where the police came together with mothers who lost children to violence.

01:53:25.680 There was a conversation, so each side listened to one another.

01:53:30.080 And as a result, as a result of that, the police sheriff department actually, the next day, reinstituted sensitivity training of how a police officer should actually deal with the families.

01:53:50.720 So it is, you're not, you're approaching the police in a different way to where it's not an adversarial.

01:53:57.360 It is, look, we have a problem in the community, and you may not understand some of this, and so let's work with you because we don't want this to happen, right?

01:54:08.960 Yeah.

01:54:09.300 That's correct.

01:54:10.460 We are 100% supporting the police.

01:54:14.740 We're saying that, yes, there are some issues among police departments and particular police officers.

01:54:22.400 However, that is not the majority.

01:54:24.800 The majority are good police officers who are sworn to protect.

01:54:30.100 So we have to have that conversation where the community break down those barriers and those defenses against police to where they can do what they're sworn to do.

01:54:43.040 So, Sylvia, if I may, in beginning to understand what's happening, the communities that are under attack where their kids are being killed, that's a lot of parents that are grieving and are probably not the ones to be getting good psychiatric advice or care on a regular basis.

01:55:09.920 And so they're prey to people who would prey upon them for a political agenda or whatever kind of agenda.

01:55:18.380 And when these attacks continue to happen, it's not just that it's one kid being shot like it would be maybe in my neighborhood.

01:55:28.740 It's that that kid has been shot and four other people on my block or in my neighborhood are also grieving and none of us have been dealt with.

01:55:39.280 Nobody's actually dealing with the problem.

01:55:41.500 And so it just keeps getting worse and worse and worse.

01:55:43.920 And when you're going and you're looking for blame and everything else, I mean, if you don't have help, you know, you're prone to all kinds of things.

01:55:54.600 Is this a too simple of an explanation or am I on the right path at all?

01:55:59.420 You're on the right path.

01:56:01.160 One of the things that we do in our advocacy department, we actually help people get mental health services.

01:56:10.800 In fact, at our community forums, we bring in a mental health specialist on the spot to where the victims can actually talk with them and understand that it's not a taboo on you if you have to have mental health services.

01:56:34.220 That is part of healing.

01:56:36.360 And if we could continue to encourage that, you have more people getting better.

01:56:44.680 I would imagine, Sylvia, just because we went through some family therapy, we had a suicide attempt in my family, in my household with my children this last year.

01:56:59.200 And when we went through the therapy with it, he said, what's your biggest fear?

01:57:05.860 And I said that it happens.

01:57:08.200 And and I didn't do something.

01:57:10.520 I didn't know what to do.

01:57:12.500 I that somehow or another, I'm responsible.

01:57:15.020 I have to believe that.

01:57:17.000 I mean, you you told the story of your granddaughter, you know, a mom who comes out and, you know, thinks, I don't want to bring a gun or I don't want to do this.

01:57:28.320 You if you make one mistake or you even think that you've made a mistake, that's got to weigh you down.

01:57:38.140 And that's not something you deal with quickly.

01:57:40.680 That that has got to fester in you for a long time.

01:57:45.740 It's hard.

01:57:47.620 I mean, I just can't even worse can't even explain how difficult it is.

01:57:53.680 However, it's more difficult putting a child in the ground and saying goodbye.

01:58:03.780 It's more difficult doing that than to make a sound decision.

01:58:10.320 Should that mother sit there and allowed eight girls to beat her daughter? 1.00

01:58:18.640 No, not by any means.

01:58:21.920 Is that OK?

01:58:23.680 The I don't think people understand the stress.

01:58:29.220 I mean, I didn't know this until I went to your Web site.

01:58:32.280 Twenty six percent of parents die within the first 10 years after experiencing the trauma of losing a child.

01:58:39.840 That that's an that's epidemic kind of numbers, especially in like in Chicago.

01:58:47.280 That's I mean, that's an epidemic.

01:58:51.360 It is.

01:58:52.500 It's really an epidemic.

01:58:54.700 I can tell you the mother of my daughter's friend died right after trials.

01:59:02.980 She literally died of a broken heart.

01:59:08.320 And I know how easy that can happen because the pain is so unbearable.

01:59:16.320 It's so unbearable.

01:59:17.320 It's so unbearable.

01:59:19.260 You don't know what to do.

01:59:22.080 It's not a natural order that a parent buries a child.

01:59:28.620 Sylvia, my heart goes out to you, especially this weekend and to all of the mothers in your situation.

01:59:35.840 Thank you so much for being on.

01:59:38.380 I'd like to further a conversation and Bob, the same with you.

01:59:42.740 I know we're probably not the the you know, the press that would be the most helpful, but we want to be as helpful as we can be.

01:59:52.020 And I have a feeling you're not going to get mainstream press to really expose what you're doing, but I think it's really important.

02:00:00.320 And we'd like to help in any way that we possibly can, please, let's continue this conversation.

02:00:06.200 If you would like to find out more about this or you would like to make a donation and help the people who are actually trying to heal, you can go to the Woodson Center dot org.

02:00:17.280 That's Woodson Center dot org or Voices of Black Mothers United dot com.

02:00:24.060 What an appropriate way to spend Mother's Day weekend.

02:00:39.260 Let me tell you about Car Shield.

02:00:41.680 You know, nobody ever says, I'd be happy to hold the target while you practice rowing tomahawks.

02:00:48.200 It's not a problem.

02:00:49.640 You know, you know what I love about Dr.

02:00:51.380 Fauci is his consistency.

02:00:52.960 Those are things that you just don't hear.

02:00:54.920 You know, I'd get my right arm right now for having my car break down because I just my warranty just expired.

02:01:01.300 Nobody's going to say any of those things.

02:01:04.100 You can have Car Shield cover your car for specific repairs.

02:01:10.880 You help design the warranty.

02:01:13.500 You get roadside assistance, a rental car to get you by until your car is fixed.

02:01:17.700 You can take your car to the dealership, the mechanic.

02:01:20.080 You don't have to wait for them to pay you.

02:01:23.320 You know, you're not writing the check and then, OK, I'm going to send you the bill and I hope you're going to send that check to me right away.

02:01:29.160 They deal with all of it.

02:01:30.660 All of it.

02:01:32.320 My car doesn't care about my savings.

02:01:34.060 My car doesn't care if it's out of warranty or in warranty, but it always happens at the worst time because there's never a good time for your car to break down.

02:01:42.420 But I will tell you this.

02:01:43.400 They have they have saved me thousands of dollars on just my trucks.

02:01:48.560 I have these old trucks and they have gone much further than they would have because I wouldn't have spent the money on it.

02:02:27.540 It's tough to lose a parent at any age.

02:02:30.280 If you're a parent or even your adopted parent, because I have adoptive moms and I have other mothers in my life, mothers of my children.
