 Most of you all, if not all of you, have seen clips of what transpired in Memphis with the, and I'm doing a couple of things at one time, but you've seen what transpired with the police officers at Memphis. And probably you were, like most folks, you were horrified. You didn't like what you saw. Excuse me, I'm doing two things again, like I said, at one time. You didn't like what you saw. I didn't like what I saw. It makes you mad. The problem is though, sometimes we want to get mad at just itting everybody. Sometimes we want to get mad at whomever and just blame whomever. We have a tendency of doing that. We have a tendency of blaming whomever, looking for somebody, the closest person. Let's just punch something. It's because that's who we are as people. Because let's just get it straight, let's be honest. People are horrible people, right? People are horrible people. It just is what it is. Black, white, Hispanic. I remember though, when I was in my pro-black stage, when I was going to a nation of Islam, rallies and so forth, went to a Farrakhan or a rally, I think I told you guys about 15, 20 feet away from Farrakhan. I mean, listen, if you were white, I didn't not like you at that time. And what's funny was at the time, I considered myself to be a Christian. I placed my faith in Christ. Because you're looking at things as a young person, I'm processing things and I may not quite know how to process things completely. Looking for, before I even look for an answer, I'm looking for blame. I'm looking for someplace to place my anger. And there's always a larger target that you can hang your excuses or hang your hat on in terms of who or what to blame. And so when you look at what's happened, especially in regards to what happened in, in this case in Memphis, well, who are we gonna blame? Who are we gonna get upset with? Well, here we have another black man killed at the hands of police officers. Now, if we ever pulled back that onion and actually look at how many people actually killed by police officers each year and then compared them with other people, first of all, if we just took it, all the blacks who are killed by police each year, not those that are just shot, but are killed by police officers. And then let's look at all the white folks that are killed by police officers. And then all the Hispanics or the others that are killed by police officers, we don't have a lot of Indians. And what I mean is folks from India, we don't have a lot of Asians being killed by police officers. We need to, we need to get those numbers up, huh? Right? Is that what we need to do? When you start looking at the numbers and we start comparing how many blacks were killed by police officers and let's start shading the numbers down, how many blacks were killed by white police officers, how many were killed by black or Hispanic police officers, then we're gonna find a small number and it's almost as though, is it even worth the reporting? Well, yeah, every life is worth, oh, here we go, all lives matter. Every life matter, really, is that true? Well, first of all, let me just say this about this all lives matter, this black lives matter. Can I just say this and maybe it'll draw some vitriol? Who knows? If black lives matter, no one would say black lives matter. And what I mean by if black lives matter, you wouldn't need a slogan, it'd be obvious. We don't say Asian lives matter, do we? Why? Because they don't care what you think about them, they've got their stuff together. Uh-oh, doll gone in, let me get my coffee cup because I've got a feeling that we're gonna be, yeah, baby lives matter, amen, Jesus, lover, one, two, and two. I've got a feeling some folks are gonna be angry. Tyree's life, Tyree, his life did matter, he did. And what they did to that man was horrible. And we're gonna get into that, we're gonna get into what Jason Whitlock said and whether he was right or whether he was wrong. But lives matter. And it's getting to the point to where it's only certain lives matter and how it can be spun politically, how the narrative can be put out there. One black man was killed. One black man was killed and everybody, even folks who don't have anything to do with it or in different cities, they wanna march and protest. The problem is though, which black life has to die in order for you to march, to be angry, to be upset? The black kid who's coming back from school, who's got straight A's who gets shot, because somebody wants to take his backpack and nobody marching for that kid. Nope, sorry kid, you were doing too good. You had your head on straight. Nope, we will not shed a tear for you. No murals, Benjamin Crump won't be there. Jesse Jackson, so not Jesse Jackson, but Al Sharpen, won't be there for you. Sorry, no marching. No, that's not gonna happen. First of all, let's just be clear. The overwhelming majority of these people who are in this stuff is that they are hypocrites and cowards. They are scared to go to where it actually matters. And that's fine, that's fine. I just wish that we as black folks and white folks would stop paying attention to them. I really do, I really do. We would pay to the lives that are the most vulnerable. They don't seem to matter if they're black. That is these aborted babies, 20 million so far, more than the Holocaust, more than the slave trade, more than everyone that's been lynched, more than people that's died in World War I, II, Civil War, Revolutionary War, combined, all of those combined. Yeah, that's how many black lives have been aborted and killed, and we don't care. Couldn't be the black lives matter. But Cory, we shouldn't be talking about Jesus. Shouldn't we be talking about the Bible? Let's leave it, no, we're gonna talk about this because it relates. We're gonna look at this in a little bit. Someone gave me a dislike. I wonder why, please tell me why. I'm hurt. I'm hurt that you gave me a dislike. But I want to put something out there, guys, because my father, you know what? My mother kind of had me that way, but my father really made me this way. My father, and y'all need to understand something. Some of you guys might be joining for the first time. Maybe the thumbnail kind of got you interested. You need to know something. We are as from the streets as they can be. We are from the street, from the hood, and the way it used to be is you take care of your own response. You take care of what you can take care of, be responsible. Go out, get a job. I think I told you guys, when I moved with my father, my mother couldn't afford me. I was high maintenance. It wasn't that I was high maintenance, it was that she didn't make enough money and just could not afford to take care of me. Listen, we were struggling, it was rough for us. It was rough. From the time that I was born, the night that I almost died, the very first night I was born, because I had drugs in my system. It tells you the background that I came from up until the time that I went to go see my father. My father told me something. He says, you are going to get good grades. He said, do not come in this house with bad grades. He said, I'm not playing that. And he told me, I forget. Yeah, he told me, because he wanted to see what kind of grades I had. I didn't have a report card, thankfully. Thankfully, I didn't have a report card going into when I moved in with him. At least not one handy. And he said, don't bring me home any C's. What's wrong with C's, daddy? He said, well, because if you get a C, if you can get a C, you can get a B. And if you can get a B, then you can get an A. So I'm not going for C's. And he said, I'm not gonna say how he said it, but I'm definitely not going for any D's or A's. He said, if you bring home D's and F's, you can leave. You can move out. Okay, daddy, all right. I didn't, but he said something. He said, don't ever come back home telling me what the white man did or didn't do. Don't tell me that you got a bad grade because the white man, the white dude, don't like you. Don't ever do that. And I forgot. I forgot, because I had a decent report card, the very first report card that I gave him, was a decent report card. It had, well, it definitely had an A in gym. Had a couple of B's. And I think I had a C in something. I forgot. I forgot. And I got to work on, I hadn't worked on my excuses yet. And he said, son, this is a good report card, but I, you know, I got a problem with this C right here. What's up with this C? And I said, daddy, I said, listen, it's just, it's a hard class. I said, the lady, I said, you can ask all my friends. She just, she doesn't like all the black kids in there. We all got bad grades in there. I got one of the better grades. She just, it's just something, she's had something against black people. And my father, listen. Some of y'all know, if you have, especially if you're older, if you're around my age, your black parent does one of these things where he kind of pulls his lips in and kind of shakes his head. Better duck, you better duck. And he hit me and said, I told you, don't ever come in telling me that the teacher doesn't like you. Gave you a bad grade because you don't like it because you're black. Now he's cussing me out. I can't say what he said. But he said, if you answer the question right, if you get the right answers on a test or a quiz, you turn in your homework, she ain't got no choice but to give you an A, to give you the right grade. Then have any choice. And if you think about it, I'm growing up in the 70s and 80s, there were some folks that got straight As in worse conditions around real racist people. I ain't talking about the person that might not like you just because of whatever. I'm talking about real racist people. And most people who are crying about racism and talking about racism and so forth, whatever, hadn't really, they talk about the Klan and so forth. It's funny how many people talk about the Klan but have never actually seen a Klan member. I'm not the one on TV. Okay, see, all right, stop, stop, stop. Let me just say what I was gonna say and I'll dress you. But most folks hadn't seen the Klan. I saw the Klan up close and personal when they were boycotting us, being bused out and they had a Klan rally surrounded the bus and had crosses buried and so forth. And so, but now let's read this, let me just read this. And now let me make my point off of this person making a point. Valley of Hope Outreach says, Cory, you seem to be missing the point. The police are there to protect and serve. The law should be applied equally across the board. May I ask you a question? Ladies and gentlemen, let me ask you all a question. Have I even made a point about this? Valley Pleasures to, I hadn't even made a point. I haven't, I literally hadn't even, I just said what they did was egregious. That's all I did. I didn't say who was right, who was, I didn't say anything. Matter of fact, if you hear my point on what happened, you might be like, yeah, okay. But it's like you came ready to touch a gun. Now, I want you to know your guns aren't gonna hurt because I'm gonna have you put that gun back in this holster. I literally had, but there's a problem. And I wanted to highlight that because sometimes we look, I'm walking in the room looking for the most racist thing. I'm looking for racism. I'm looking for, by the way, I'm curious. I'm curious, Valley. Can I ask you a question? If you don't, listen, and it's all good. No, we're not fighting, listen, we're brothers and sisters here. But can I ask you a question? Could you please put in the chats, how old are you? And there's a reason why I'm asking this question. How old are you? Where were you born? And don't just, don't make up a year. You better tell me that. Correct. Where were you born? I just, I'm going somewhere. It doesn't really matter if you're in your 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s. I'm going somewhere with this. I want you and I to have a conversation while I drink my prison-approved coffee. Come on, Valley. Come here, you guys, type fast. And then when I ask you to type something, you guys type slow. 1968, okay, good, good. You should be ashamed of yourself. You should be ashamed. Let me tell you why. What they did was horrible, downright horrible. Was it racist? Was it racist? If you say racist, then you don't know what racism is. If you say it, if anyone says it's racist, you really don't know what racism is. So you and I came along at the end of the civil rights movement. And our parents could tell us what real racism looked like. Five black dudes beating up and killing another black dude is not racism. Now, it's messed up. Matter of fact, matter of fact, happens all the time. Happens all the time with nary, as I used to say in the 50s, nary a peep by the general public. Happens all the time. Pick a city, any city, any major city. It just happens, right? We didn't get black lives matter when the Alabama basketball player and his buddy, when they killed the young lady because she refused their advances, was that racism? I'm curious, anybody? Yeah, so I hadn't given my opinion yet, but I'm giving it now. What they did was horrible and what the media is doing is even worse. What I think is happening, what I'm sensing, because I was talking to my oldest child. She is, what is she, dog going on, what is 31? I wouldn't care if you from the deep, deep South. You hadn't seen it like, listen, you know what you didn't see? You didn't see it like they saw it in the 50s, in the 40s, and in the early 60s. And so I'm not saying you haven't seen racism, but if you think that that was, I'm not saying you did, but anyone who does, doesn't know racism. But we want to spin it as though it's racist. And the reason is because we've got a racism on the brain, my daughter was trying to tell me what's racist and so on and this and that. And she's only 30, 31. And if any of y'all know anything about the DFW area, she was living in Denton. Is it Denton yet Denton? And she was saying how racist they are out there. And me and her mother just chuckled, are you serious? Are you serious? They're racist in Denton, Denton, Texas. College town, University of North Texas. And the same thing in DeSoto, Texas. They're racist out there. Just wanted to laugh. Baby girl, I'm talking to my daughter. Baby girl, you don't know. But what it is is that she just assumes that any and everything. Why? Because we're telling everybody that any and everything is. When I listened to the Jason Whitlock, his conversation on Tucker Carlson and then everyone's had a conversation. And there are levels of this, but I wanna focus on something that I heard him say. Not what everyone is thinking or wanting him to have said. When you hear it, there are some that says, oh, is he blaming black women, single mothers on what's happening? No, he's not. He's not blaming black women or single mothers on this. What he is doing is he's blaming fatherlessness on it. If fathers are missing, who is there? Mothers. If mothers are raising children, he's not blaming them. He's setting the reason why because we have fathers who have been derelict, men who have been derelict in their duty. Not these black women, not these single mothers, but these men. Y'all do realize that America, the United States, leads the world in single family households. I believe there's 27, what is it? Let me look at my stats. Let me look at my, about 25% of households in America are headed by one parent. 80% of those households are women led. Now, it's a mixture of the remaining 20% is a mixture between non-parents, guardians, a guardian, an uncle aunt, a grandparent and the father. The father does not make up that remaining 20%, okay? The world is 7%. Places like China is, I think it's 3%. We're doing poor there. We're doing poor there. But of course you turn around and look at how we are behaving more. You're gonna start seeing the picture. There's an old saying. There's an old saying. Some of y'all have enough to know this or heard this before. That when it comes to equality with black people in America, they would say that education is the great equalizer. Yeah, if you get a good education within that, that's gonna suck. Well, that was an old statement that came about in the 20s and 30s and 40s. And we found out that no education is not the great equalizer. It is true. The greater the education, the more likely you are to not have to deal with some of the social elves, right? But what causes or what precipitates what is the cause of us having a good education? Did you know if you take the average black family that has a father there, they are on par with the average white family when it comes to education, when it comes to income, when it comes to crime and all these other little social issues that we've measured. Now, are we right there with them? No, we're a little bit behind, but it's almost negligible. So it stopped at education as a great equalizer. It's fatherhood, father's being there. And if anyone says that fathers don't count, they're a horrible father or they haven't seen a good father. So, and I heard a man said, no, it's not, it doesn't mean tell me you don't matter that much. I literally had men argue me down the point that no, fathers don't matter. I'm gonna give you a stat that's just gonna blow your mind. I'm gonna give you a stat that's gonna blow your mind. But the guy was trying to tell me that no, I don't have to live there with my baby mama with a mere fact that you said baby mama is a problem, my friend. But I asked him, I said, so you think that your presence is not that important. Of course I think my presence is important. You just said that matter if you're there, your presence, which means you being there, that matter. See, my daughter is in the room, actually she's not in the room, she's in the kitchen washing dishes. She may or may not do the dishes, but I'm here. There's a huge difference with me being here versus not being here. If you don't believe so, go ask your kids. When the cats away, the mice will play. That's how that works. But before I go further into it, I wanna go ahead and play this clip. Y'all go ahead and judge. And he also starts off by saying that he thinks that what they did was horrible and oh by the way, he states that it's an open and shut case. These guys should be charged with murder and it's not even that close. And I agree. Behaving inappropriately, including these five Memphis police officers. This is an open and shut case. The camera from above captures the police doing something totally illegal. The second degree murder charges are warranted. I would, exactly. So now, so let's just be clear that he believes that, it's hard to find anybody that would do, you would have to be one of the cop's parents to, or you know what, you have to be their mother. Because all five of these men, that's the point that he was making, that he's gonna make, that all five of these men, one, they were hired during a time where the police department in Memphis had decreased their hiring standards. And when you listen to these guys, these are some guys that just some thugs that just happen to get hired by the police department. That's all they were. Some guys, they just, these are some guys that filled out an application. You know, they listen to the warehouse when hiring, they couldn't get, please, yeah. Let me go ahead and put that application in. They're taking all comers. When you just listen to just their vocabulary, the vernacular that comes out of them, these are just some regular old dudes that got a job. They filled out an application and man, they hired me. Okay, can I get to carry a gun? I get to bust some heads. Couple of guys had some issues that were brought up about how they handle some other people in the past. I don't know all of them, but one guy got slammed in his face and he came around and you can't get convicted and so forth, but these guys had no business being on the beat. They just did not. Yeah, they just gangsters, that's all they were. If they didn't have, and they were all young, they're all young, all of them are young enough to be my sons, all five of them, and whoever I showed up to, they were just, now he's getting ready to make a point. And I want you guys to hear his point. Listen to what he's saying, now listen to what you think he's saying, okay? Just hear it out and I'm gonna flesh it out some more. Examine the racial element of this because there is a racial element and this is a story about young black men and their inability to treat each other in a humane way. Everybody involved in this on the street level was either 24 to 32 years old. That matters. That matters. Listen, when you got young people going out there to make decisions, let's just be clear. Even if you're young, you all forgive me, but the good part about being young is that you get a chance to get older. Young people don't tend to make the best decisions, especially in the heat of the moment. As a matter of fact, when they're, in the heat of the moment is when you need some maturity, somebody there that's been through it to handle and process this stuff. No, listen, listen, listen. To kind of talk folks through and so forth. You don't typically want young folks being the ones that are trying to break up a fight. You want somebody, now you want the muscle, but the brain just doesn't process, which is why we find out that the brain still is developing into its mid to late 20s. Which is what it is. I mean, that there's something that comes with maturity. Let me read this. And thank you, by the way, for super chat. You said that nuclear families are best. His focus wasn't black absentee fathers, but highlighting black mothers. There are many black mothers. There are many black men and women who blame each for all the woes without self accountability. Now, I think he is also blaming black fathers because that's kind of something that he's been on. He's not trying to say what he's getting at you all. If you haven't heard it, you're gonna hear it. He's not trying to say that, man, it's these black women's fault. That is not what he's saying. Jason Whitlock is going to hold one, the black community responsible and hold the men even to a higher standard. And you know what? I'm right there. Because what you, you can't say, you can't say that you matter when someone else is trying to tell you that you matter. You clearly don't matter if you don't think it yourself. I don't need you to march for me. I don't need you to tell me how wonderful I am, how great I am, how, I don't need you to give me a pep talk. If I do, you know who needs a pep talk? Someone who's defeated in their mind already. And I don't need you to tell me anything about what I can do. I don't need a head start. All I need you to do this move. But even if you don't move, stay there. Stay there if you want to. Then I'll either go around you, over you or through you. If you are in the way of where I'm trying to go. That's the mentality that we're supposed to have. I remember in the seventies, matter of fact in the sixties as well, there was a statement that we should say. True or not, but it was just a mentality to get past whatever it was that if we felt like that it's hard out there for a black man, then what we say, we have to do or try twice as hard as the white man. And we didn't say it as though it was a bad thing. We said, that's our rallying cry. That's our motivation. If he got an A, I'm gonna get two As. If he got 100%, I'm gonna get 110%. That's what it was. And it wasn't an excuse. It was just, this is the goal right here. This is the goal right here. Straight As. That's it. Now, again, for clarification purposes, these men were horrible men. They had no business being out there. Now, listen, and by the way, what his point is is how Tucker is talking about how the racial component that the media might wanna spend on this. And he says, there is a racial component in this. Let's hear it more about what he's saying. Everybody, it was a group of young black men, five on one, look like gang violence to me. It looked like what young black men do when they're supervised by a single black woman. And that's what they got going on in the Memphis police department. They've put some black woman in charge of the police force. And we're getting the same kind of chaos and disunity and violence that we see in a lot of these cities that are run by single mothers. Now, what he's not saying is that the lady is a single mother. He's drawn comparison how the, and these boys did grew up with a single mother and this mentality. Have y'all heard this statement that we, we love our girls, we raise our boys, but not anymore, not anymore. Now it's switched to we love our boys and we treat them in a soft way. I'm gonna give you some stats and one stat I think is gonna floor you. I'm gonna give you some stats and one stat is gonna floor you as it relates to fathers and how important. And obviously we gotta go to the Hong Kong Foo, the Bible. Cory, you just called the Hong Kong Foo, some folks old enough, you'll know what I'm talking about. But we're gonna go to the Bible and look at the scriptures and see how this even relates and how we ought to be looking at this kind of stuff. Because guess what, guys? I don't know if this stuff is gonna, this mentality is here to stay, but it didn't have to affect us as believers. It doesn't. And I'm more concerned, just like you are, you're more concerned about your immediate family. Do not tell me that you're concerned more about the entire community as a whole. Then I'm concerned about my family. No, you're concerned about your, at least you should be. You better be, that's the way, the way this is supposed to work is you do right by your family, by your household. If you do well by your household, then your neighbors, your friends will see that. And it can infect and affect people who see it. Mom and daddy's there eating dinner and stuff is getting done, the kids are well mannered, they're not going to jail, but you know, that kind of stuff. So it begins to kind of spread outwardly, right with me. And so I'm concerned about my family and their wellbeing. Then if the rest of the community wants to get on board, amen. If they don't, my family is still gonna do right. If every other black person that I know has it hard in life, not because of systemic or systematic issues, but because of their own feelings or what have you, I'm still gonna do the very best I can for my family to survive. You will do the same thing too. And so what he is getting at, his point is you got these boys, these males who are raised by single women doing the very best they can because some dude left them. We won't get in that dynamic. What happened in these relationships so far? Which speaks a lot about America. But you've got these boys that are growing up and no daddy, no man to kind of put them in their place, no daddy, no man to kind of hold them accountable. You have nobody there to make sure that what they're doing that if they get in trouble, that there's repercussions, that there are consequences. We don't have that. And so what we need to do is, well, you know what, before I even get more into it, let's go ahead and listen more to what he's got to say. If we wanna discuss the breakdown of family that leads to disrespect for authority that causes you to resist the police and run from the police and not comply with the police because you resist authority at all time because there was no male authority in your home, let's have that discussion. But that's not where they wanna take us. They wanna take us down the path of saying, you know what, this is Tucker Carlson's fault. This is some random white, this is Donald Trump's fault. It's not, it's the breakdown of family and the buying in to all these left-wing things that have nothing to do with promoting family. I'm sorry. I apologize again. Blame it on my absentee father. I'm kidding. But I don't know if what he was saying, if he was saying that the issue was her, this woman being in leadership, or just kinda drawing a comparison because let's be honest though, a lot of men when they look at a woman in leadership, they don't treat her the same way as they do. A man who's in leadership, ladies, newsflash, sorry. That's just, it is the way it is. When you see that your boss is a woman, it's just difficult, it's different than if you see he's a man. You're thinking as a man, I might be able to get over on her to get around. As a guy, you don't feel the same way. No, I know she's not single. No, he's not saying that she's single, that she's just using her as an example. Here's this one woman who's over these single boys. If they're black, what's the likelihood that they're single? Because we know that 74% of all boys are all blacks or born out of wedlock. That's a huge problem, guys. That's a very big problem. Now, the bigger issue though is what's happening in society with fatherlessness. It's an issue with whites. It's an issue with, even more and more so, it's an issue with Hispanics, more and more so. And it's been an issue with blacks. We are a fatherless nation. Again, 25 or quarter, I think 24, 23% and it's growing. It's growing and it's growing and it's growing. This little casual kind of hookup generation that we have, it's growing and guess what? We used to think that we would see the effects of this in a generation or two generations. No, we see it immediately. We see it immediately because let's say when a kid takes a gun and goes to school and shoots his teacher, well, we see the effects of the home happening there immediately. When a kid goes and jumps another kid or shoots another kid or stabs another kid or what have you or gets another kid pregnant, we see it immediately. Let me just run some stats here. 90% of all teen homelessness or child homelessness are because the father's not there. Kids who don't have their fathers there make up 63% of all teen suicides. It's a lot. They make up 90% of all rental ways. 85% of juvenile behavioral disorders are with kids where the father's not there. Think about that. 72% of all teenage pregnancies are when the father's not there. Y'all do also realize that which demographic has the highest concentration of abortions, those very same single mothers who do not have or did not have a father there. If you do not have a father there, you are 20 times more likely to be incarcerated, 11 times more likely to be violent. Just go to your local prison, do a quick little survey. You're gonna find that many of these men did not have, I know the four of fact did not have their father there in their lives. And they'll say, well, it didn't matter. My father didn't have to be there. Yeah, it did. Yes, it does. Now, I wanna ask you guys a question. Okay, wait a second. Somebody said, not true. What's not true? And I might be wrong, but you have to tell me what I'm wrong about. If you say that it's not true, you're gonna have to let me know what's not true. Okay? And I don't know if you're referring to me or not, but let me know what's not true. But let me ask you guys a question. Well, let me ask you, let me ask this first question. Do you all think that it matters a lot that a father is there? Now, I want you all to tell me, obviously it matters, but tell me, do you think it matters a lot, somewhat or not much at all? Does it matter a lot that the father's there? Somewhat that the father's there? Or not much at all? You all tell me. Now, someone will say there's a lot of black people who have done well, even though their father hasn't been there. We didn't say it's absolute. There's a lot of people who've done horribly when they had both parents there. But I'm looking for the person that would say that somewhat or not a lot. That's the person that I wanna have a conversation with. That's the person that I, especially if you're a man and you say that it doesn't matter. I want you to realize what kind of man you are saying that you are. I wanna realize what kind of, I want you to realize what kind of man you're saying that you are. Because I say that it doesn't matter or here's an ignorant stat or a statement that they make that, well, they did a survey. It's a survey that someone's offering what they say. It's the honor system where they say that they spend enough time with their children, more time than let's say the average white father and so forth. Okay, fine, if you say so. I spend time with my child. They call it the myth of fatherlessness. I spend time with my child. Let's see if that makes sense. I'm not married to the mother. The kids, but listen, I spend time with my kids. Does it matter if I, so I don't have to, I don't have to be married to her, but I spend time, listen, I'm a good father. I'm a great father. No doubt you probably are as good a father as you can be, but you're not as good of a father as you possibly could be if you stay there with that child. So the fact, it's just the fact. Now it is what it is. I'm not telling you to go back and marry her or marry all three of them. You got three or four kids, it's done. You just have a lot of work to do. You got a lot of fixing to do. A lot of making up to do. It just is what it is. Disagree with me if you want to, you are foolish. Anyone that disagree with what I'm saying right now at the points that I'm making right now, just foolish. Foolish. I'm gonna give you a statin. It's the second there. It's just floored me. It should floor you as well. But they would say something like, I spend time, not all relationships work. You're right, you're right. Listen, again, you got the baby. And let me just say this. If you do have a child out of wedlock and you moved on or what have you, I'm not saying, I'm not saying, oh wait a second, oh wait, I got to deal with this. Okay, okay, okay, yeah, yeah. I thought I saw something that was BB Miami. I thought you said fathers, not husbands are important. Yeah, they both are important. Because what it does is it paints the picture that mom and daddy should be together. But let's say mom and daddy aren't together. Am I condemning you? No, stuff happens. You just have to work harder. And fine, I think that you got big enough shoulders, strong enough back, a good enough brain and a loving enough heart to where you're gonna put all that you can in for your children, you brought them here. Well, God did. God brought them here just having to use you. How about we make dads great again? Let's do that. But a guy said, I spend time with my child. Okay, let's just see. So you only have so many hours in a day. They call us this myth of fatherlessness. You only have so many hours in a day, 24 hours last time I checked. Some of you folks in California may have a few more hours, I don't know. But 24 hours in a day, if you are a good man, you're working. So let's just take eight hours off the table. So now we're down to what? 16 hours, y'all check my math, make sure my math is correct, 16 hours. But there's a commute to work, right? Now you may work from home, I don't know. But let's just throw in an hour commute. So let's say we're down to 15 hours. You have got to eat, you've got to take care of your house, take care of yourself for what have you, you got to sleep. And so you're probably left with about four or five hours in a day. You're probably left about four or five hours in a day. And so because of that, do you have the ability to spread that out and go spend quality time with your child? Thank you all guys for the super chat as well. You don't. Now you can, it's just gonna be hard. It's just going to be hard. It's not the same again. I've got my children in there. Now I've got a daughter who's married. So she's not my responsibility. But if you mess with her, I'll kill you. I've got two kids that are my responsibility. My third and my fourth. The fourth is 16. The third is, how old is Hannah? Hannah is Lord. 24? Is she 24? Hold on, she's born 90. No, she'll be, she's gonna turn 25 on Valentine's Day. She's my responsibility. I've told her you don't ever have to move out until, which I think I switched it. You don't have to move out until, until guys, my wife just walked in because I guess they canceled school for them. That's gotta be it. She came in to interrupt the live stream to do one of these things. Cause, so I'll have the whole family here. Amen, amen. We got, we got a house for, we do a spring cleaning tomorrow. That's what we, no, I'm kidding. But Hannah is my responsibility until she gets married, until some other man takes responsibility. And I said, baby, you don't have to leave. Why would you leave? You've got all your bills, you've got your own room. Do your, no, she's a, she does worship for it at a church. That's her job and working with the youth. Baby, do what you gotta do. Right? Cause the father's here, daddy's here. You want to know what anger is a son though and what breaks the heart of a daughter when daddy ain't there. We'll get to that in a second. But when you tell me that you can do the exact same thing that I can do, they're literally right there. I can put my hands on her when something's wrong with her car. I'm not even a mechanic, but I can go out there and, and mess up something bad enough and then call mechanic. That's what I do. That's what I do. Someone threatens them. That's me. Somebody, you mess with my kids. Somebody getting hurt. Might be me, but I'll get hurt trying. It's what a daddy does. And daughter knows that. Sons know that. By the way, do y'all remember? This is one of the best TV episodes, moments in TV history. Y'all, y'all watched the Fresh Prince of Bel Air and Will was just waiting to see his daddy. Yeah, Carol, we got bad, bad weather in Texas. We got Indiana weather down here today. Will was waiting to see his daddy. He's happy and tell me it just did something to me. Just to hear Will just, you can just, it's almost like he tapped something, right? Hey, why should I be mad? I'm saying at least he said goodbye this time. I just wish I hadn't wasted my money buying this stupid present. I need him then and I don't need him now. Will. Now, you know what, Uncle Phil? I'm gonna get through college without him. I'm gonna get a great job without him. I'm gonna marry me a beautiful honey and I'm having a whole bunch of kids. I'm gonna be a better father than he ever was. And I sure as hell don't need him for that because ain't a damn thing he could ever teach me about how to love my kids. How come he don't want me, man? That part, listen, every time I hear that, I mean, he's like, I just feel it. And that's not even my story. But I know that story for a lot of people whose father just, you know, and thank God that there are some feels in some of these guys' lives, some man who is there because you know what boys need? You know what, every boy needs a man somewhere. Let me say this, this is just the truth. Do you know the relationships that matter the most with males? Another male relationship. Boys spend their entire life comparing and jockeying up to the affection, the appreciation, the admiration, the acceptance of another male. That's just the fact. It's not anything gay or homosexual about that. We just do. The attention of another male matters to men. It does from the time that you're born to the time that you die. It just is. Same thing with females. Listen, we care about a lot of different things but we measure ourselves to other men. We want to be a certain man. And when we say we want to be a certain man, we oftentimes have another male in mind. Why do you think so many boys have these jerseys on? Or they invite some of these artists on TV, rap or music or whatever. That's why. A role model that we've got to have somebody to model ourselves after. Well, if you're a man in the body of Christ, obviously it's Jesus. But the problem is though, we need a man to make Jesus in us look real. I want to see what Jesus in a man looks like. I want to see what Jesus in a man feels like, how he moves so I can kind of model it. Here I am, I'm 20. I want to know what a 40 year old man who's a godly man, a wise man, how he moves. That's how I want to be. Or I'm 30. I want to see somebody 50. I'm 50. I want to see somebody 70 or 80, right? There are men that I look to like, yeah, you know what? That's me. I'm still growing. Not that way, but I'm still growing. Hopefully this way and this way. There are men that I look up to. I think about my father. And so that part is real. That part is real. That's why you got so many men who emulate the closest male they can see. That's somebody on TV, on the radio, or some video. That's what they're emulating. And so we have this mess out here. Those guys were no different than the man they beat up and killed. They were no different. As a matter of fact, they were worse. They were worse. And the guy that he killed, I believe, if I'm not correct, I believe his mother was a single mother. He was trying to get close to her or he was close by her house. And we see this every day, not every week or every year, every day. Every day we see this mess. Problem is, oftentimes it's not on TV. And so this is the issue that I think that Jason was getting at is that our issues in some white man's fault, it's not the government's fault, it's us as a people. If you're one of, let me just say this also. Listen, if you're one of these new fangled Negroes that's out there marching just for the sake of marching because you're angry, stop it, go get a job, you should have time to march for this foolishness. It used to be, yeah, remember, let's also make marches great again too. Remember back in the day, it used to be when you marched, it was something. Now we just march about everything. We got kids marching. They march for LGBTQ rights and march for the bathroom rights and march for all kinds of stuff. Meanwhile, every other country is advancing on us. I sort of think the kind of, and I've seen the kind of mean that we have out there that just can't handle it. We got men that are breaking down, crying, they don't know what to do. Cause they've never, no one ever told them how to have a backbone, how to be strong. I don't mean strong where there's no emotion, don't be strong where, even through the emotion with the emotion to carry yourself through, carry the family, accomplish the task before you. If I play football, I already know that they're gonna hit me. It's gonna be tackling. But you got guys that are complaining about being tackled in football. You do realize that's part of the, he hit me too hard. Got a lot of weak men and they dress weak. Let me just kind of just say this by the way. Let me just, can I get on my soap box for just four and a half a second? I would almost rather that you would cry racism and wear some of the clothes some of these guys are wearing. Some of the clothes and the hairstyles that these boys are wearing, oh my Lord, oh my Lord. My daddy told me, boy, you better have a good haircut. And you ain't wearing anything crazy. All these bright colors, if I wore something, did I have anything yellow in my wardrobe, bro? I don't think I had anything yellow. I'll never forget, I had a pink shirt in high school because it was kind of the cool thing, little pink eyes, eye shirt or whatever. I had a polo shirt, whatever, a pink shirt. And my daddy looked at me, he said, what's wrong with you, boy? I said, no, daddy's not being gay. He said, you sure? I said, well, I can't wear this if you want to. He said, I wish you'd wear it different time. I know I get it different time and place, but couldn't have these little crazy hairstyles, couldn't, you know, they used to put a peroxide in the hair to kind of change the tint and so forth. And I, no, no, no, nothing leather, nothing tight, nothing short, nothing sagging, look like a man. This is why my daddy at eight years old had me going to work and he had a clothing store, wanted me to go to work for him. Daddy, I'm eight. Do you realize in the 70s what we do on Saturday morning do I have a witness out there? You know what boys supposed to be doing on Saturday mornings in the 70s? Watching cartoons, man. You've got me going for what? So you can learn responsibility. When I moved in, he said, he called me at, now my, again, a whole nother story about you reminded but he called me up one day and said, what you doing? It's, listen, it's like 5.55 or 6 in the morning. What you doing? I'm asleep. You ain't up yet? No. You know, me and I, they got a job. What you doing? I'm 14, daddy. What are you talking about, dude? I didn't say that. I didn't, I knew what I could say to him and what not. I think about the leather clothes. I remember that the movie with, what's his name? Eddie Murphy. I forget which one. It might have been 48 hours. He was walking down the street in Beverly Hills. It may have been Beverly Hills Cop, I'm not sure. Walking down the street and he walked by these guys in the Beaded Jacket or the Michael Jackson Jacket and he just stopped and started laughing. Yeah, that's, yeah. Some of you guys are going to regret the hairstyles that closed your win right now but let me throw a stat at you. For those of you who think that fathers don't matter or as much or you want to get a real good impact on fatherhood. Now when I ask you guys a question, when I ask you guys, I probably shouldn't even say it like this, good child, it is, yeah, Mike, that is child slavery but who am I going to complain to? Matter of fact, if I thought about complaining what my daddy was doing, now he paid me but man, I miss some good Saturday mornings. Do you know what we do on Saturdays? Now I didn't have to go to work on Sundays but on Saturdays, Saturday nights, sometimes it'd be Friday when they switched it but we watch Kung Fu. Anybody watch Kung Fu in the 60s and 70s and 80s I guess, five Venoms and the kid with the golden are all, all these, you know, we get out and just, yeah, yeah, just kick each other in the head. That was fun, having rock fights. Yeah, miss that stuff. Anyway, when I ask you guys a question, see if you guys can tell me what the answer is. Drunken monkey, listen, I watched that the other day. I watched that, I watched that the other day. Willie Groove, I'm telling you, because YouTube started sending me, I looked up five Venoms and they just started sending me all these little, let me look at this one. Yeah, anyway, back on topic. Who is more, we talked about the importance of a father being there, the importance of a two family home. This should be pretty easy. This should be pretty easy for you guys. Who is more likely to go to jail? Then this is the importance of a two family home. Who is more likely to go to jail? A kid in a two parent home? A, a kid in two parent home? Or B, a household where it's just the father? Who is more likely to go to jail? A, a kid raised in a two parent home? Or B, a kid raised with just the father? Again, who is more likely to go to jail? A, a kid in a two parent home? Or B, a kid with just the father? Who's more likely to go to jail? One of the more staggering stats that you'll ever hear is that as some of you all quick correctly said, it's equal, it's equal. Hey, Chelsea, y'all make sure y'all check out our channel and also subscribe to her. It's equal, isn't that something? Now, it's not to say that two parents don't matter, women don't matter because they do, they matter in other areas. Because I'm pretty sure that kid, the group that's the father, a whole lot of other issues going on because mom ain't there. A whole lot of issues because mom ain't there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right in the face of what? Yep. When I heard that stat, I was like, are you, is that, that can't be true. That's true. That's true. Why? When daddy's home, somebody getting a whooping. If we don't teach children to live in society today, what's gonna happen to them when they grow up? For heaven's sake, Sheriff, the boy's not a criminal. I didn't say he was. Now, what he does at home is none of our business. But when he gets out on the street, he's gonna have to answer to us. Mr. Winkler, would you like to continue this father and son discussion in quiet? I say, would you like to continue this in quiet? There's a real nice woodshed out back. Woodshed? Good old fashioned woodshed, real nice one. Let's make whoopings great again, too. Let's bring back whoopings. Let's bring back beatings. Listen, when you know about one of my favorite, all the time, matter of not one of my favorite TV, my favorite TV daddy. Now, I love Andy Griffin, but my favorite TV daddy was James Evans, so good times, my favorite. And you're not gonna mess with it. Listen, he's struggling, he's fighting, he's doing all he can to raise his family. But he was also disciplinary. And he wasn't just gonna beat just because, but he loved his kids. It used to be, I'm gonna tell your daddy, I'm gonna tell your father. Well that used to mean something. I mean they used to mean something, they used to mean something. Look at my grammar. That used to mean something. They used to mean something. Now, I'm gonna tell your father, well, tell her. When he get out, he can deal with me. Gotta well, he got a prisoner couldn't deal with me. Tell her if you can catch them, if you can find them, I'm gonna tell you, that used to mean something. It used to be that you, rather your mother found out so that way, And she dealt with you rather than your daddy dealing with you. That used to mean something. Now, I didn't grow up with my father in the house until I moved with him. But my grandparents, oh man, when we would go over their house and if granddaddy found out, don't tell granddaddy, come on, grandma, I'm gonna just beat us. Grandma, I'll just lie to myself and beat us now. We don't want granddaddy to do it. No, I'm gonna tell granddaddy. So, but I want to pull some passages. I don't know why I have this title here. What did I just do? Okay, I want to pull a couple passages. Proverbs 14-26. Y'all forget the little headings about it. I didn't change it. Proverbs 14-26. In the fear of the Lord there is strong confidence and his children will have refuge. Well, that should be the model for us. That our children, like we find refuge in God, our father, our children should be able to find refuge. I go to my father, I've got an issue, I've got a problem. He can't solve everything, but maybe he can. Maybe he can. Another passage. Let me also get, if you haven't heard this understanding of this passage, I want you all to hear this as well. I've done a video on this as well, but this is Proverbs 22-26. It says, train a child in the way that he should go, even when he is old, he will not depart. The problem with this passage is we need to see what it says. Let's take the words and let's break it down and see what it says. This word for train is really kind of a warning. It's not a command to do it. It's an if, if you train out. I don't have time to kind of go into the Hebrew tenses and so forth, whatever. But this is really more of a warning. If you train a child, and I want you to look at the words that's there. If you train a child, and y'all have heard me cover this before, Al, P, Derko. Look at the words. This word Al is upon. This word P is the mouth. And this other word is Derko, Derk and Co. So upon the mouth of his way. If you train a child upon the mouth of his way, then when he's old, he'll not depart. What that means is this, and this, and I promise you, this is what we're seeing. We're not seeing, you know what? I'm training my child. I'm taking him to church and everything. And don't go, he just ain't working. He ain't working out. Why is this should be a hundred percent? God, you said if I train him this way, train my child this way, train him the right way, and when he's old, he won't depart. But have y'all noticed that it doesn't sound like it's always working out that way. This kid's going to church, maybe going to Christian school, all that stuff. And when he gets, he departs. Matter of fact, think about the children of Israel. God has appeared to them. Did they depart? Yeah. Here's what the word, here's what it means. Al P. Derko is upon the mouth of his way. What it means is if you train a child according to the mouth of his way, that's an idiom for according to his way, according to the bent of his way, which is why I says train a child in the way that he should go or according to his way, according to the way that he wants to go. Well, which way does a child want to go? Not even just a boy, but specifically boys, but a kid period. Which way does a child want to go? Any way but the right way. That's what kids do. They don't want to clean the room up, they don't want to open it. And so if you train that child in the way that he wants to go, when he is old, he will not depart. He was disrespectful as a five-year-old. He's disrespectful as a 15-year-old. He's disrespectful as 25 and 55-year-old. If he can't cope at three years old, he can't cope at 13, which is why we got kids shooting up schools. He can't cope at 23, at 33. The girl said, no, I don't want to date you. You're not my type. And so he can't cope. And so what does he do? He goes and kills her. He does something crazy. Yeah, that's the fastest thing. And so the reason why we've got kids doing it, we don't have anyone correcting them. Especially when it comes to the parents where the father is not there, the father not being there, he offers correction. There are just roles that men and women play. I know it's not right to say so because this is not the society, because men can be women and women can be men. Men can have periods and men can have babies. By the way, have y'all noticed that women aren't that dumb? I mean, biological women, they're not that dumb. There's been a few of them that are. They've gotten in the ring with men. I can handle these men and you just go on YouTube and you see what happened with these women. They get in the ring with these men. A biological woman who is... She's identifying as a man until the fight starts and then she's knocked out cold. And now everybody's a man at the guy because well, she identified as a man. You don't see them breaking records, but then you see these men identifying them. In real life, that's not how it goes. Men and women are different. They're different roles. She says what it is. You look at my little three-year-old grandson, he's a boy. He will build up his little blockhouse. You know what he is going to do after he builds his blockhouse up or he lines this. He calls little babies his little toys up. He lines them up. You know what he's going to do after that? Take his truck and run over them. Just what he does. That's what he does. Oh yeah, somebody said that's rough. That's normal hump proverb. That's what it was. That's what it... We play football, sometimes we're in the street and the yard. Right? So it's touch on the concrete, tackle on the grass. If you was too close to that grass, but you was on the concrete, you didn't tackle, my bad thought you, that's just how it was. We were rough. Rock fights, stick fights, anything. Climbing trees, falling out of trees, going to the hospital, coming back. We just, if back in the days because men were around, if you were a young boy and you walked through the neighborhood and you saw some wood, what did you do with that wood? You built something. A tree house, a gold cart, a sword, a knife, a gun. You built something with that stick. You're going to do something with it. It is what boys did because we're different. We're just different. Now, can I share with you guys the problems that we have if we have a society where the males are being told how to be raised by the government? I want to look at a problem where the government steps in and it's not the fathers or the family that's in charge. As a matter of fact, I'm going to look at starting off with a godly man who doesn't take care of his house first and look what happens. First Samuel chapter eight, verse one, he says, and it came about when Samuel was old that he appointed his sons judge over Israel. Now, Samuel is a man of God, but let's look what happened. He says, now the name of his firstborn was Joel and the name of his second was Abidjah. They were judging bear sheba. His sons, however, did not walk in his ways but turned aside after dishonest gain and took bribes and perverted justice, huh? This is what happens when you don't do right with your sons. And so what happened as a result of that? We can't read all of it, but as a result of that, Israel was upset and they didn't want to have judges anymore. They didn't want Samuel or a leader, someone appointed by God to leave them anymore. Look at the breakdown of them. This is what even the breakdown of the family would even cause them. Folks, I don't want God to lead us anymore. But Samuel, it had you taking care of your family, discipline and boys right now. Yeah, because by the way, which tells us you can be in church, you can be a man of God and still be a horrible father. That part is true too. You can be a man of God and still not take care of things at home just because you're a Christian does not abdicate you of your responsibility, your role as a father. Can I get five A-mans? Because that's the truth. We got a lot of men who are going to church and still aren't parenting the way that's posted. Being saved is not a panacea for your children to make it in heaven and to not go to jail. So you need to understand that. These people were bothered not because of Samuel but because his horrible parenting comes through and his sons are doing all sorts of things and they don't, the people don't like it. 30, verse four, then all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel and Raman said, they said to him, behold, you have grown old and yours, look what he says, and your sons do not walk in your ways. Now appoint a king for us to judge us like all the nations. But this thing was just pleasing in the sight of Samuel when they said, give us a king to judge us and Samuel prayed to the Lord. Father Samuel, Samuel just maybe, just maybe if you'd have had some godly sons, just maybe. And so y'all know the story, they cried out, they wanted a king like other nations, God said, Samuel, don't trip, they're not rejecting you, they are rejecting me. But again, God knows what he's doing because he'd already stated that the sceptres have not passed or depart from Judah, which means he's already, it's already in the cart, it's already planned out that there's going to be a kingdom whereby through the line of Judah, we're going to have obviously David and then Solomon and someone who's a descendant who in the Davidic covenant that God says will reign on the throne a descendant of yours will reign forever. Who is that? That's Jesus, which is why Mary and Joseph were both descendants of, excuse me, of David. And so he had a genetic link through David and a legal link through David, through Joseph. Are you with me? That being stated, we won't go through it all, but I want you all to go back and look at what the Bible says about what the government is going to do. The government's going to do all these different things because I promise you, I promise you guys, these little black boys that are out here, young black boys and just young Hispanic boys as well. Same things happening there. And then more and more white boys. What's going to happen? Who's going to parent these boys? Who's going to grow these boys? Cause I promise you, if the boys got in line, the girls would too soon thereafter. Who's going to parent them? Who's going to take care of them? The government. The government will do so. We need more activities, more things, more this, more that for our families, Washington DC. Washington DC says, sure thing, amen. At your service, we will provide everything that you think that you want. No, I take it back. We'll provide everything that we think you need. Want daycare? Want someone to watch your children? We'll provide it, no problem. Want someone to take care of the fact that there are unwanted pregnancies? No problem. We got that. No problem. All the things that you want the government to do, that daddy wasn't there to do, no problem. We'll do it. Look what God tells Sam is going to happen though. We'll do it, but guess what we're going to do? We're going to charge you for it. You're going to pay for it. We're going to tax you. You're going to pay for all these services. Hey, listen, we need some insurance. No problem. Insurance for everybody. You're going to pay for it. Yeah, but the insurance isn't all that great. No problem, no problem. So how's it going to be guys? When men, not man, not mankind, but when men abdicate their responsibilities, this is the result. And you got men who are legally authorized to carry guns and work for the government, doing bad things. And you got men who are not authorized to carry guns, but they're carrying them nonetheless, who are doing bad things. That's the problem. When you depart from God's remedy, this is what we get. Y'all do realize that this, what we see in Memphis, transpires all the time every day, either at the hands of police or just other men, period. Because we're just natural brutes. Because someone had the bright idea that we don't need God. Someone had the bright idea that church doesn't matter. Okay, I know what it used to do. I go back and look at the stats of people who go to church regularly. That didn't even take into account if the church's a good, definitely sound church. They might be hanging off the rafters, but they know there's a God. So, go back and look at the, matter of fact, people say, well, the divorce rate in the church is just as high as the divorce rate outside the church. It's not as high when you look at the divorce rate amongst people that attend church regularly. No, it's not, it's not even close. What about the dropout rate? What about the suicide rate? What about the likelihood of someone becoming LGBTQ? What about the incarceration rate? Compare that to people who attend church regularly. Now, I'm not giving the stats because there's a lot of different stats to look at. Barnard has done some, and so the point of the matter is when you put these people in their minds, I'm under the subjection of God. By the way, since the divorce rate is a lot lower with people who attend church regularly, if the divorce rate is lower, then guess who happens to be, so now you've got the father there, the earthly father, and then there's governance by the heavenly father. Isn't that cool how that would actually work out? If you've got the heavenly father and daddy there, the earthly father there, how cool would that be? Nope, my oldest daughter, Brittany, she's getting there. She, listen, she's getting there. She's getting there. Let me just tell y'all the truth. I'm gonna do my best not to get emotional here because this will make me emotional. My focus is that woman, my wife, and those kids. Because I, y'all know my story. I spent time away in my government-induced hiatus. It was just me and my coffee cup in prison. Well, what do you think happens to a family where the father is gone? Especially a family with when the father is as great as I am is gone, right? I'm kidding, I'm kidding. But when the father is gone, what does that do to the girls? What does it do to the wife? What does that do? That hurts. There's a lot of things, thankfully, thankfully, the lioness was doing the best she could. I said my wife's a lioness. She's a lioness because just like a lion, she's gonna take care of those kids and she's gonna bite you if you come around and she'll bite them too. And so here I come back. And so I've gotta kinda be wise in how I do things. My, remember Bailey, the youngest child? Most of her life, I'm not there. I mean, letters and talking to her on the phone or whatever, I'm not there. So I gotta figure out, how do I get back in? How do I move back in the right way? Daddy's home, you gonna do what I told you. It can't be just that. It can't be, I'm just gonna do just what. No, you're gonna obey me. I can't be heavy handed. I gotta be wise. She's getting to know me. And so I can't, you know, so there's that. Then there are the other ones who know me, but they just missed me. And Daddy wasn't there. So I've got to figure, I gotta work this through, I gotta figure this out. And so my job is to, I'm gonna die trying. I'll spend the rest of my life making up. And I don't care. I enjoy time with my babies, even when they don't listen. They think I'm too old. They think I'm always complaining. I'm your daddy. My job is complaining about everything. I don't like your hair. I don't like your shoes. I don't like this. I don't like that. That's my job. When you 70 and I'm 90 or I'm 80 or whatever I is, I'm complaining. If I'm a hundred years old and you 80, I'm still telling you what to do. And I'll get the belt out. So, yeah, I said, when I'm old and you gotta change my diapers, I'm still gonna fuss at you. That's what daddies do. That's what daddies do. That's who I am. And so the rest of my life, I've gotta make it up to her, to the Mrs. and I gotta make it up to my babies. And I just wish that there were men out there like that. That when these officers, going back to these officers, when they encountered this brother, if they had a father, if they had a father that taught them how to deal with other men, young men, or men who were whatever, they would have known better. They would have done better. Cause some man should have just stood up and said, no, no, no, no, we're not gonna do this. We're not gonna, we ain't gonna, we're not gonna well off on throw hay makers, get the baton, break the baton. No, we're not gonna do all this. It's five and you can't put his arm behind his back. Maybe you guys need to quit and go teach volleyball or something because you guys are horrible. No, there's this little thug in you that came out and you wanted to take out your thugness. It did, it did, it did seem personal. It seemed, all their aggression came out and they just want, they want to have what we call a free wreck. They want to have a little wreck on the guy. Yeah, well, here's the sad part for them. And it doesn't matter if it goes state or federal. They'd probably go federal because of all the hype behind it. But when they get to prison, you're a cop in prison and you beat this man to death, okay? You better not go to a Memphis prison because he might have some family there. I mean, Tennessee prison or Arkansas prison. So yeah, they had, we need to get better body camps, huh? We need to get more eyes in the sky. And so they're gonna pay. They got some problems. They got, I pray for their souls. I pray that they come to an understanding of how wrong they were. Not just sorry they got caught and making excuses but time where they got to deal with God and God just breaks them. I don't mean break them physically, but I mean, but break them. Like David said, a broken and contrite heart where you're just spiritually, morally broken over what you did. You took a man's life and you did it in the name of sport, getting some wrecking. If only we had some men out there, if only. And so, depending upon what Jason meant, if he meant what I think he meant, again, I'm just going off what I think he meant based on what he said in the past. But if he meant that the issue is that we got too many men that were brought up by women because you were brought up by a woman and now you're a grown man yourself, doesn't mean that the effects of how you were brought up is gone. Matter of fact, they linger and they color how you do things, how you see things. Sometimes a woman might be a little bit more emotional than a man and so now you've got grown men who are muscular but are emotional and they don't know how to handle that. They don't know how to reign it back in. When guys go to prison, we got these young guys there that are just buck wild, they're crazy. They wanna prove something, they wanna fight, they wanna this and that or whatever. Do you know what all those young guys look for? Even in prison. All, I can't watch you eat the glorious love. I can't, I saw some of it, I can't watch it. But you all know what even the young thugs look for in prison? The old heads, the OGs, school, that's what they look for. And the old brother talked to them, hey, come here young fella, talk to them for a second. You know what they do? They listen. They actually, you know why? They never, they never had that. They never had that man talk to them. I'm telling you what I know. They never had that man pull them to the side and just put his arm around that young fella and say, no man, you're not gonna do that. I've seen guys wanna go out and kill somebody in prison. They get mad cause they felt like they disrespected. And it takes some young guys, some old man, older guy going to them, some guy in their 40s, some guy in their 50s, saying, no, let me tell you about my foolishness, how I reckon my life, you don't wanna do that. And they listen. If this young fella will listen to me, yeah, I'm not his father. Can't you just see how much he would listen to his father? But society wants it to demean. And do y'all see why I get why? When I say talk about these women out there, for what? The women out here are byproduct of the men that are missing too. These women have run into other men and they based what they think a man is because they've had a lot of deals with men who didn't have their daddies there or daddy didn't teach them what it is to be a man. That was the problem guys. It is. Yeah, you're right, you're right, Ray Payne. You're right. Matter of fact, if you were ever to hear some of the men in prison just, these are men who did not have the time to spend with their kids and so they write these letters. They've never written. These guys have become poets in prison, trying to express their heart, trying to express what they didn't do, their regrets. Listen, there's three places I told you guys where you're gonna find the greatest amount of regrets. The hospital, the cemetery, and in prison. Yeah, Marquette, Marquette, I don't want to put your business up there, but Marquette can testify, write these letters, tell your kid how much you love him and you can't write well enough to express how much you love your guys and to express your regret. Tell them to do right. You can't tell them about their schoolwork. Now in prison, you want to know about it. Wish they can go back and do that. So we're in a messed society, but because we're in a messed society, it doesn't mean that we have to live that way. If there, however many men are on this, on this live stream, however many men are gonna see this later, be the godly man to your child. And if you happen to see a young kid, male or female. Now I'm not saying go start picking up young kids because that's a good way to get yourself in jail. You can't do that. But if your son, your kids have a friend and that child's parent in there or if they can use some help, be there. Be there. A young boy out there who doesn't have a father around, could use a helping hand. Volunteer, go to these schools. Because what happens is, what happens is they begin looking up and seeing a man. Like a man. I'm thinking the song. I don't know why. Again, you know what it might have been? It might have been the drugs in my system when I was growing up. But the song just came in my head. It's raining men. Why did that pop up? I don't know. I need some more coffee. But we need more men out there. It's just the facts. Why should these kids get in line? Why should the way where men get in line? Why should the women after all complaining about why shouldn't get in line? Why should it happen if, don't go on and if men got their stuff together. And we stopped letting the media, CNN, Fox, ABC, CBS. If we stopped letting them give us an excuse and out, stop letting them think that you're less than, they gotta make excuses for why aren't you out there doing this? Well, because of racism. No, it ain't. No, racism didn't make you pick up the bag. Racism didn't make you shoot that person. Racism didn't make you impregnate four women. You got three kids with four baby mamas. Racism didn't do that. Racism had nothing to do with you not graduating. Come talk to me about the incarceration rate and tell me that's racism. I want you, you folks have no clue about it. You've read something, you heard somebody on one of these stations telling me that the justice system is racist. Tell me, come tell me. I want to have that conversation with me. I want you, so that I can start pointing out how when they get sentenced, especially in the federal jurisdiction, how when they get sentenced, they get sentenced in accordance to their sentencing guideline and they're gonna look at your criminal history and the average black kid. The average black kid is not in category one, not in the first category, but then the second or third or fourth category. And so they're gonna sentence you according to that. Come talk to me, come talk to me. I wanna show you how what you just said is complete junk. No, we're getting longer sentences for the same crime because we've done the same crime two, three, four, five times. That's why, and why is it happening? Cause we're not in school. We're not in school cause daddy ain't there. That's why. Mama got two, three, four of the kids by a couple of the men and so she do the best she can. So tell me, tell me it's racist. By the way, by the way, sometimes you want some of these boys off the street as dangerous as they are. Wouldn't it have been nice if these five guys who are really thugs, they just didn't, we just didn't find out to them later if they were off the street, we'd have one more black guy walking around alive or the one that's killing somebody in the street. We need to be accountable to ourselves. Amen. So that's my take on it guys. I wanted to get that. Let me say this also. We're going to be a little early tomorrow. I've got to cover some things tomorrow cause someone even asked me about the guy that issued the $10,000 or $20,000 challenge. So disappointed. So disappointed when someone lies. So disappointed when someone makes it seem like you didn't want to have the camera side. So disappointed. I won't go any further with that. But you guys, if you can't catch it live, catch it, catch the replay. I'm just going to prove it before you guys and let his followers see how this ungodly the man is. Anyway, that being said guys, if you're a man, I know you ladies, ladies I love you, but if you're a man, be a good, godly man and watch the world take notice. Amen. Amen.
