 What he represents is patriarchy. We're here to do work as men, as patriars. There's nothing more natural than being a father. Welcome back to day three of the 21 convention Special Patriarch Edition 2019 of Orlando, Florida. Our first presentation of this day, day three, is actually a special presentation by two speakers. It's going to be Elliot Hulse and his father. I had the very fortunate experience, very lucky to go to Elliot's 40th birthday party a few weeks ago in St. Pete, Florida. I got to meet his dad right away. I was like, this has got to be Elliot's dad. Of course it was. The guy was awesome. I think I told him right away that his son was speaking at my conference in a few weeks on fatherhood. He suggested very quickly that he should give a speech and I was like, yeah, that sounds pretty good. I didn't know if he was serious or not, but as it turned out he was. I talked with Elliot about it. We set it up. You guys are about to see that interview between Elliot and his father go down. I'm very excited for it. And first up, you're going to have Elliot and his father. So without further ado, I'm going to welcome Elliot Hulse back to the stage. Thanks, Elliot. Morning, gentlemen. Morning. So one of the first questions that a man is met with is who is your father? At least we see this in many traditions. Who is your father? That's why we get our father's last name. Because there's something of the pattern of the man from which you come in that name. Who is your father? And so I am very blessed to have a very strong father, a father whose name I can be proud of. And a father who has a very unique background. He wasn't raised in the same kind of culture that we were. My father is from the jungle, if you will. My father is from Belize. And he literally grew up without wearing shoes, climbing trees, swinging from branches, riding horses bareback. He grew up wild, he will tell you. And it is from that wild man's seed and character that you see me. He came to America when he was maybe the same age as you guys, young men. And married another Belizean woman and raised us in our culture for what you take of it. But with many of the jungle, law of the jungle attitudes and behaviors and stances and admonitions. So I have a unique upbringing in that it was in America, but with a very primal veneer. And so he's got a lot of unique ideas, a lot of unique experiences, very different than many of my friends' fathers. And so I thought it would be amazing for us here on this Sunday morning to gather some wisdom, old school wisdom, alpha male from the jungle wisdom that my father has to offer. And so without further ado, I would like to introduce to you my father, Edmund Hulse. The Advocate. You can have a seat right here. Over there. So this is my father, and you see he's sitting up on his high horse behind you there, too. Which is perfect, because he loves to do. That's not normal face. Yeah, one of the things that I came to recognize very recently about my father, especially as I've become involved with you guys in the Manisphere, is that he is the alpha male that we're always talking about. I didn't know that. I didn't realize that when I was a kid growing up. In fact, I kind of resented him because I grew up in a world where they turned the children against the father and the parents. This is what the media and the schools does. My father was very strong. And as a result, I wanted to fight back. And it wasn't until I was much older, had my own children, that I began to realize that my father had it right the entire time. And that it was great. And it is great to come from a strong, a home with a strong alpha male leader. So I'm going to ask some questions here. Very basic questions, because my dad's answers usually aren't basic. So it's a great way to get the ball rolling here. And so my very first question for you, dad, is if you can offer to the guys what or why you think family is important. Family is important because it's strength, it's power. So we're a strong family. You're nothing. So to become a strong family, you got to have a lot of love too. And respect for your kids, your spouse. So that's very important to have. If you don't have respect for yourself and love for yourself, your family becomes weak. So that's the first thing that I think is very important to have a really strong family, a good family. And it's important to have a family that can support you in whatever you do and respect you. So that's one of the main things to have a strong family. To have strong kids. So if you have a weak family, you'll have weak kids. And you want your kids to be strong. So that's basically how I feel about having a good family. Do you think it's important for people to have families? Yes, it's important to have a family. You got to have a family because what's life with all the family? What are you living for? What are you existing for? But not just to have a family because you want to have a family. It's the reason to have a family. The reason to have a family is to make the world a better place. We are the world. So there's so many things in my mind that I want to say here. But I don't have limited time because I could go on forever as far as family is concerned. So how is the world a better place when we have strong families? Because we respect each other. We give a lot of love to the world. That's the only way you're going to have a good family. It's with love because love is powerful. Without love you have nothing. So family needs love. And what do you mean by love? Love means that you'll do anything for your family. You'll die for your family. Would you all die for your family? Who would die for their family in here? Good. So if you don't have love, how would you die for someone? It's the love that gives you the strength to do whatever you want to do. So I'm trying to find the words for you guys here because it's a lot involved when it comes to a strong family. The way I look at it is this. First you've got to start with you. You've got to look at yourself and respect yourself. And by you respecting yourself, your kid will respect you. You've got to give your kids like energy, strong energy. And the only way you're going to do that is by you respecting you, who you are. It's not material stuff that makes you strong. It's the love that makes you strong and respect for each other. Everyone. We're talking about family right now, but I'm talking about people wrong you. We're all family here. So if we don't respect each other, how can we do good for each other? That's the main thing. It's mainly love. We're calling this patriarch mass this morning. And so it's a reference to the father above also. And so what do you think, what role does the Almighty play in family? The Almighty controls everything. The Almighty controls everything in this world and controls you. You have no control of nothing in this life. I never think of myself controlling my life. I never control my life. The way I am is from the Almighty. And if you could just live your life by doing the right thing for your family with the right intention. It doesn't matter what you do. Just do it from the heart. You know what I'm saying? The main thing is what you feel in you. And if it's go to bed as far as someone else, it doesn't matter. It's what you feel that matters. If you feel goodness, that's what it is. That's how I look at it. What does it mean to be a good father? A good father means be there for your kids a hundred percent. Give your kids whatever it needs to be better than you. If I online, we're a mirror of our kids. So whatever we do, our kids will do. You got to work hard as far as a father is because your kids got to see you work. So you got to work to build a strong family. You can't be lazy. You get up every day and you do something, anything for the right reason. That's going to benefit you and your family. That's been a good father to be there all the time for your kids. Some people have a job, you work, you go home. You don't go home. Some people go hang out with their friends or associates and they have their family at home. You got to be there for your family all the time. Watch them grow. Watch them make mistakes. Keep them in line. Teach them respect. Discipline. They have a lot. You can't have your kids disrespecting the whole. And this is what happened. So that's basically the whole thing. Being a good father is to be there all the time for your kids. That's what I do for you guys. What are some of the biggest mistakes that you see other fathers making with their families? The mistakes that I see with the father and the father does is that they're not there for the kids. They don't discipline their kids. You got to have rules. We all have rules. If we don't discipline our kids and teach them respect for their family, which is similar, you know, mother, father, and brothers and sisters. If they don't respect their home, they will not respect anybody. So we did discipline them so we don't have to have the government discipline them. And if we don't discipline our kids, the government will discipline the kids. Anybody in here wants the government to discipline their kids? I don't think so. So if you discipline your kids for them to respect others, they'll have a better life. That means a lot. You know, in the other part, in my kids' part, I'm not talking about my family. I got to talk about my family because that's all I know. And I do whatever I have to do to make my kids smart, strong mentally and physically. Your kids got to be strong mentally and physically in this life. And the only way you got to do that is by you showing them and they're giving you respect. You know, a lot of parents, the kids doesn't respect them. How can you have kids talking to their parents like they talk to one of their friends? That's not good. How's this kid going to grow up to be? Respect no one. They get themselves in a lot of trouble. You know? So that's basically how I feel. Respect have a lot to do with it. What about the relationship between the mother and the father? And how important is that in the family? That's very important relationship because kids, we remember for kids, and if our kids see us disrespecting my wife or my wife disrespecting me, that's not good. Then the kids are going to start disrespecting the mother. So it's very important to have respect for your spouse. Whoever it is, you know, if you're married or not, some people, they're not married. So I would say, you know, partner. So that's very important. How does one find a good wife? And what does that mean to be a good wife? Good wife is very difficult. It's a chance in life. But to find a good wife is, again, everything is taught with respect and love. We all have issues and faults. We're not perfect. And it's mainly understanding. So from the outbreak of a relationship, we got to come clean with each other. You got to say, well, look, this is who I am. And not someone else. This is Edmund. You accept me the way I am and who you are, I got to accept you for who you are. I got to make adjustments with your fault because we all have faults. We're not perfect. I can't look at your faults and say you're a pain in the ass. You can't do that. You got to respect each one's fault and make your adjustment. And then it becomes natural after a while. You don't even see the faults no more. Because we accept each other's. And then after that it becomes love. You just start loving each other's because I love you for who you are. Not for someone else, a fantasy. I'm not going to pick on you because you're slow at night. Maybe I talk in my sleep at night. Some people, they can't do it stuff like that. They don't want to make that adjustment. That's why some relationships, some people sleep in different beds. I don't want to sleep in different beds than my wife. So we have to make a lot of adjustments if you want to have a good relationship. What are you looking for? Sex? Is that a relationship? Were you looking for a perfect woman? There's no such thing as perfect. So let's make adjustment to each other's. It's just at your workplace. If you're working at a place, you've got to make adjustments. So it's all about adjustment. And that's the only way you're going to have a good relationship and a good wife or good partner make adjustment. Then everything just becomes normal. I'm not forcing you to love me. You can't force anything in this life. There's no such thing as me making you love me because I buy you a beautiful outfit or I buy you the best car on earth or whatever. That's buying you stuff. You're going to love me and respect me. We respect each other's and make adjustments in our life. Respect comes after as life goes on. That's why I look at it. It works for me. Look, everybody has to try to make people love them. I don't try to make anybody love me. You love me for who I am and that's the way it's got to be. If you force it, it's not going to work. So I think that's the best way you can have a relationship. Just leave it alone. Let it grow. Because it's changed. Because we change. We're not the same person anymore. We could change from better or worse, but it's always better. What are some of the biggest mistakes you see men making when they choose a woman? That's another thing. They're looking for a perfect woman. They're looking for beauty with their eyes. This woman has to be a certain look, but it's not the look. It's inside. It's what you have inside matters. It's not how you look. You've got to love yourself no matter what. You look in the mirror. You look at yourself and I love you. I love me. You understand? And men and women, they want to find this guy, tall guy, good looking guy, have a lot of money. That's what people are looking for. Instead of looking from inside, the heart of the man, the heart of the woman, that's what you've got to look for. The goodness. I want someone that's going to care for me. My wife's going to look out for me, cook me good meal, make sure I'm okay, make sure everything is beautiful with me. I want someone that's going to do that. I want someone that's going to look out for themselves and don't care about me. I don't care about what I can give them. And that's the problem. It's all you've got to look from the inside, the goodness of a person's heart. I don't need a beautiful woman and got a bad heart and don't care about me or my family or my kids. I don't want that. I want someone to have beautiful from the inside and inside shows the outside. That's the whole thing when it comes to, you know, woman or anything, any kind of relationship, people just looking for the wrong reason, things, what they see. I don't look for that. I look for you as a person. What you have inside of you matters to me. It's not what you look for. To me, you're beautiful no matter what. What's beauty anyway? I don't understand what beauty means. Your eyes are beautiful, your hair is beautiful, your body is beautiful. It's just what you see. It's what you feel. What are some of the indicators of a woman with a good heart? What lets you know that she's a good woman? Well, a good woman is very easy. It's just like how you're doing, make sure you have a good meal, make sure your clothes are taken care of, make sure your kids are taken care of, you know, respect you. That's a good person, you know. That's someone that's worried how they look or what they want. It's looking to see what my husband needs or wants. Well, a man will need, you know, my husband needs to be nurtured and in return you're going to do the same thing. You know, say, action, reaction. You do good for me, I do it for you. If you do bad for me, why would I want to do good for you? You know what I'm saying? And to me, that's a lot of mistake that people make. When I was younger, you used to say you don't need a useless bitch. Well, I don't, you don't need a useless woman. I mean, you know, when I say useless woman, a woman doesn't, like you said, doesn't care for you, doesn't want to do anything. You just want to sit around and look pretty or whatever it is. And let's put it this way. I'm not just talking about woman. I'm talking man. A woman needs a strong man and a man needs a strong woman. And we work together as a team. We're partners. If I'm doing all the work and you don't want to work, then I don't need you. And vice versa. If my wife comes home and says, does everything, take care of my kids, take care of my home, do everything nice to me, and I'm being a fool and I don't want to do nothing. I just want to let her out all day and drink beers and watch TV. She don't need me. Yep. Get rid of my ass. You know what I'm saying? So it's the same thing. You know? If I have a woman, I come home, my kids run around with shit on their ass. The pumpers do not change. It's smelly all over the place, places of mess. What she does all day home, worried about herself. Her hair looks and shit. Of course, she's a walking adult. She's like, beautiful. Hair all down, nails all down, pretty. But what's all this stuff? That's more important to me than the way you look right now. Men, they worry about their fancy cars and stuff. They don't care about their family, right? Do you think she needs you? No. So it's a two-way street, guys. It's just work together. That's all we gotta do here. You know, you gotta find a woman that's gonna work with you and if she doesn't work with you, then you don't need her. And you gotta look at it the same way. You gotta do right for your woman. And in return, you're gonna get right, right just about. And like I say, if she doesn't work with you, it just doesn't work. You gotta get rid of it. What's most important in raising children? Well, important in raising children. There's a lot of stuff important. Discipline is one, for sure. Responsibility, you gotta give your kids responsibility. And you, as a parent, you're an example of your kids. So whatever you do, your kids will do. If you get up every day, work hard. Your kid will see you a little hard-working man. You take care of your family. You come home, help over the kids. With their homework. You gotta be there for your kids. Every day. That's very important. You know, a family is work. And unless you're willing to work to keep a family together, then you don't need to have a family. If you're lazy and selfish, then don't have a family. It's not for you. You gotta be willing to get up every day and work. Work out the house, work in the house. There's unlimited work when you have a family. Unlimited until you die. I have a family right now and I still work for my family. Because now I have grandkids, you know? I want my grandkids to be strong. I want them to see their parents are strong, their grandparents' parents are strong. So those kids, the next generation, will be even stronger. So it's very important for you guys to get up every day, work towards your family and relationship. And your kids will see that. Your energy. They will feel your energy. Discipline is a big deal. Responsibility. Respect. It means a lot, you know? This man respect me right now and always respect me. All my kids respect me. Because I show them respect and I show them what it takes to be strong. You can't be weak to your kids. You gotta have tough love. Everybody wants their kid to be happy. You understand? I want my kid to be happy. But you can't be happy all the time and you're not gonna be happy because you gotta follow my rules. So I'm gonna make you very uncomfortable if you don't follow my rules. Because you're already making me uncomfortable because you're not following my rules. And respect. So if you don't do that for your kids, what do you think is gonna happen? They're not gonna be strong. You know, people, their kids start crying and acting up right away to become weak. Oh, here. Kids start crying. It's happy. No. I say you're not gonna have that. Tough love. Tough love. That's very important. It hurts my heart. It's painful to see your kids suffer. So right away you wanna become weak. No, you gotta stay strong. So that kid will become strong. My dad was strong. He didn't give in on me. I didn't weaken him. So in return that's what he's gonna do. So that's important. Very important. I remember when I was a kid you used to say, I'm just gonna be the bad guy. I'm the bad guy. I don't care if you hate me. I don't care. He hates me. I know he hates me. I know my kid doesn't like me. I don't care. Do what the hell I say. You're gonna keep your grades up. You're gonna do your chores, your responsibility. And if you don't, it's consequence. I don't want you to love me. I don't want you, I don't care about love right now. From you because I have the love for you. I'm doing this because I love you. The right intention. Whatever you do for your family, do it with the right intention. That's what it's all about. I'm not doing what I'm doing because I hate you. I do it because I love you. I'm trying to make a strong man out of you. A strong woman. It's not only a strong man. If you have daughters, you gotta make them strong. I have a daughter. And she's strong. I make a strong family. I want a strong family. Why would I want a weak family? But if I don't show my strength to my family, how are they gonna be strong? I gotta let them know that I am the king of my house. You understand? I control my home. That's you. And that's all you have to educate and understand. So they will become a king. And in return, if you have a weak woman, she'll become strong. You gonna make them strong. And you want a strong woman, right? So, it's all you. Start from you, man. Okay? So, just be tough. Love to your kids. I'm not telling you to abuse your kids, man. But you gotta be there for your kids. 100%. 100% focus for your family. That's what I do. I get mad when people don't take care of their family. I have no respect for anyone that doesn't take care of their family. You understand? That breaks my heart. Because you know what? One day, you will know that you fucked up. And then you're gonna blame the kid. People blame everybody for everything. They never blame themselves. He's a bad kid. There's no such thing as a bad kid, okay? No bad kid. You made them bad. Because you're not there for them. Kids will do things that are not right or maybe called not right. They'll make mistakes. They're little kids. They're learning shit. But you are the adult. You brought them in this life so you have to guide them. They go one way and you know it's not right. They're gonna hurt themselves. Put them back on track. Whatever it takes. Don't ignore it. So, hey boy, I tell you what I know. Family, kids, it's not a game. It's not just having kids because oh, it's funny. Now. So, that's tough. You gotta be tough. So, if anyone have kids in here, I mean, there's a lot of broken homes. I understand that. And because it's broken homes, it's a lot of excuse. You know? And that's not a problem because you have a kid and you have a broken home. You figure, oh, it's not my fault. It's my partner's fault. He's raising the kids. She's raising the kids or whatever it is. She makes the kid that way. Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. It's not your partner or whoever you had. Woman or whatever you have the kids. It's you. Because even though you and your partner is not together, that doesn't mean you can be a good father. You know what I'm saying? You can still make a man out of him. Because you could be there for him. The same way you think or know when you are together with your partner, living together with your family, you can be the same way not being together with your spouse and with your kid. You could see your kid every day just like you live with at home. Spend time with that kid. Don't just hear. The government say, give you 200,000 a week for my kid and then you're okay. You say that my troubles are over. Nah, nah, nah, nah. You can be there every day. Pick your kid up from school. Go to his house, where it is, make it your business. Don't go have another kid some play for somebody else. It doesn't work out to go have another kid. Then you have these kids all the players, they lost proper, you goddamn kids. Who's taking care of those kids? So that's another big deal. So there's a lot of things that's happening right now that's not good. And there's no one to be blamed with you. So you have to think about that. So I'm sure there's people in here that have a family together. I don't know. And this family is broken. But so be there for your kid. Don't say, I can't pick up Johnny today because I gotta go some place. I gotta go hang out with my friends. So Johnny's waiting for you. Oh, my dad didn't come pick me up. How that kid feels? He's not gonna be a strong kid. He's gonna be weak because he's sad. Respect yourself. So when your kids see my dad they say, whoa, that's my dad. You know what I'm saying? I wanna be proud of my dad. I wanna go to school, pick my kid up and my kids say, well, all our friends. Oh. That's Johnny's dad. Guy looks respectable. He don't walk in there looking bad. No respect for himself. His clothes looks like shit. He don't have to be that way. Don't, I'm not judging anybody. I'm not judging anybody. But if you work you'll be okay. You understand? If you gotta have two jobs, three jobs, I don't care. You make a choice to have your family. You gotta do what it takes to make that family righteous. So you go to school you're looking like shit. You know? Jocked up teeth. Raggedy clothes. But this is Johnny's dad. Everybody look at this. Johnny's dad. You think Johnny feels good about himself? Do you know that's my dad? That kid is embarrassed. Make yourself respectable. Keep your head up strong. So his kid say, well, I'm proud. That's my dad. That's some dirt bag. You don't have to make yourself that way. Nobody have to make themselves that way. Don't blame no one else but yourself. Respect your goddamn self. You know? That's how I feel. That anybody else, anyone in here that can't make themselves respected for their family that you love. If you love your family, you'll respect yourself first. Do you respect yourself, sir? Yes. Good. So do you want your kids to respect you? You're not going to go to a kid's school looking like a bomb. Right? That'll make your kids sad. So we can all do that, man. But, yeah, the problem is you're driving a fucking Mercedes outside for eight town miles. You have all these glues. Things. Materials stuff. I mean shit. That's my most annoying shit. I don't like it. It makes me want to cry. I'm sad. Can't you be happy with yourself? You don't even think to be happy taking your fucking family. You understand me? Well, that's my problem. Boy, it's my problem because I love kids. They're innocent. They're at your fucking motion. They're at your fucking motion. So why can't you do the right thing for your own fucking family? Huh? But yet you can turn around and tell me you fucking love me. You love me. You're my friend. I ain't got no fucking friend. If you look at it, take care of your goddamn kids. If you can't love your kids, how the fuck can you love me? They'll say to me that's my problem. Don't tell me you love me. Take care of your family first. No excuse. So hey guys, that's where I come from, man. I will die for my family. You people say you do the same thing, right? Well then, just do it. Just do it, my friend. It's a beautiful thing. Family's beautiful. It's beautiful. I got four strong mentally and physically killed. Amen. And I got eight grandkids and they all tattooed my fucking head over here. So kill me. But don't fuck with my family. All right? So you all have to feel the same way. Love. It's wrong. So if you love your kids, you'll do anything. Don't blame anyone. Blame your fucking self, okay? That's how I feel. I didn't want to roll myself up. I started in a slow way. But I can't do it. Because it's me. If anybody got any fucking question, they ask me. They ask me anything about life. I can tell you anything you want to fucking know. We make it difficult. Because all we're looking at material shit. That's the problem. And the bottom line, that means nothing. Family is what you need. Love. I got to love my fucking son right now. See? He's fucking love. That's what I'm talking about. Shit. So guys, I know you guys can do it, man. And I tell you, it's a big reward. Big reward, man. By the way, work fucking hard. With everything. Relationship is work. That's what I do. I'm 68 years fucking old and I still work. And I walk until I die. And I'm going to get fucking later until I die. Do you understand? Because that's what makes you strong. Love. I'm going to be 50 years old. 45 years old. But I feel like a fucking old man. Why? You don't have to be that way. You don't have to be that way, guys. It takes a lot of work. But man, it's so beautiful. My grandkids coming over. Every Saturdays. I watch them run around. Wreck my fucking house. I don't care. Don't touch that. Don't break that. I don't care about shit. They do whatever they want. They're happy. Again, people worry about things. I don't care about things. I care about family. Yeah, that's big, man. Yeah. Don't pay me too much money, guys. Because I can get off the wall. You might think I'm fucking nuts. But I'm nuts. So, ask me something, man. What do you want to know? Does anybody have any question for my crazy father? Whatever you want to know. He's like Yo, Edmund. Because, you know, we've got someone right here. Yeah. Opposite? Well, family, you talking brother or sister? Right now, you got family on? Okay. Well, you plan to have family, right? Well, see, the way it is, right? I got seven brothers. I'm from a big family. I can't control. I can't even control myself sometimes. The Almighty controls me. So, I can't put my energy into my brothers and sisters. I have brothers and sisters that's really fuck ups. But I can't put my energy in them. Because that's not my responsibility. I didn't create that. But I created him. He's my responsibility. He's my responsibility. I'm like, so he's righteous. I can't make sure my brother and my sister's righteous. Let it be, brother. Leave them alone. If you can't deal with them, walk away. Because if they're not doing righteous, that's negative. Negative. I don't want negative. I don't deal with negative. Positive. Just be where it is positive. It's just like if you don't want to be wrong, stupid people too. When I say stupid people, they don't want to help themselves. If you want to be smart, intelligent, so one day you become intelligent, right? If you're wrong with somebody that's like, dumb, stupid, I might have to say a word, but I gotta say, because it's true, right? What do you call it then? Don't want to do something? I don't know nice words, Buddha. I ain't got no fucking nice word because I tell you just as it is. You're fucking stupid, you're dumb. You know what I'm saying? That's the only way I can put it. So I don't want to be wrong with those people. I stare away from those people because I want to be stronger and make my family stronger. So any question? Anybody else? I'm just trying to see if anybody put their hands up and I'll pass them a mic. Wow. I think we should bring it full circle, my man. Yeah? Well, you know, there's a lot more, guys, about life, a lot more about life. I got a lot of stories beyond it because a lot of shit went down in my life. Raising families is one of it. I got a lot of stories about him. I got a story about my son in the bar. Man, I got stories forever. Good stories, dude. Passionate stories. Yeah, I'm saying. But yeah, you want to close the shit down? Close down, brother. You know, I think it would be interesting. I mean, we still have seven minutes. Maybe talk a little bit about your childhood growing up in Belize and what was that like and how that shaped your way. My life? Free. I like to be free. I don't want nobody to fuck with me. That's what I want to do when I want to do. How I want to do. I don't like to be controlled. Fucking king don't want to be controlled. Right? You like to be controlled. Who the fuck wants to be controlled? I don't want anybody to control me. I get up in the morning and want to do something. I want to do it. And was that like, that's what it was like when you were a kid? When I was a kid, that's what I do. You know? I learned shit on my own. I didn't have a dad. My dad loved me. I know my dad loved me. But he was never wrong because he was always out working to provide. I might have seven kids, seven boys and three girls. She had her fucking hands full. She can't handle us. Who's going to handle her? Crazy guy like me? No. So I always do what I want to do. How I want to do. I learn my own. I don't have somebody to sit in my ass and teach me shit. I got to figure my life out. That's how I was born. Just like you guys. You don't need anybody to tell you it's good to have structures just like I have structures for my kids. It's nice. But mainly you have to figure things out for yourself. But it's good to have a guide. But I didn't have that. I didn't go to school and have all these stuff that you guys had. You know. I go to school when I feel like. I don't like school anyway. Boring. I don't want to go dead. I don't want to learn that shit. What I need that for. I want to go out and do things. Climb the fucking tree. Run around. Chase the fucking dog. Do anything. So that's what I do when I was a kid. You know. When I'm hungry. I eat what I want. I'm hungry today. See fruit or whatever it is. That's the kind of life I have. It's good life. I like it. I came here. There's so many bullshit that took me a while to figure out things. But again I figured out. It was different kind of jungle. You know. Better than all of the same to me. So. It's a lot of different things. Guys. That's the kind of life I had. But I have no complaints. I could complain about a lot of shit. I could say I didn't have this. Mosquitoes eating my ass up. You know what I'm saying? You guys have no AC. You know. I go to sleep at night. I got mosquito blow in my fucking ear. And I'm sweating my ass off. So you know what I do, brother? To sleep. Mentally. Meditation. Bunt my mind. I don't hear no fucking mosquitoes. No mosquitoes are buying me. I ain't hot. You make adjustment. You want to live like that? Nobody wants to live like that. But that's... It's a good... I get used to it. And it made me stronger. Because now... If I want to lay right down and then sleep, I can sleep right there. It's all in the mind. Control the mind. Mind you sit right there. Just blunt your fucking mind. You exist. That takes practice. But if you practice it, one day you'll be able to do it. It's a good thing. Try to practice that. Brain. That's a good practice, guys. So that's what I do. I do that today. That's the reason why I don't let anything bothers me. Another thing, guys, I remember one thing here in this life right here. You know... Stop worrying about shit. There's nothing to worry about in this life. Nothing. Because you have no control of nothing. You think you got control. Everybody has control. I'm smart because I drive in the Mercedes. I'm smart because I got a big house. You ain't no smarter than me. You are smart. Every fucking one of you guys here is smart. And I'm smart too. We're all smart in our own way. So you're not better than me and I'm not better than you. Not because you have more things. You think you're smarter than me. You can't even run your own family home. You're gonna be smarter than me. Right? So... That's how I look at it. Hey, Dad. We've got one minute and I was hoping maybe for that last minute you could share what your hope is for all of the fathers in this room and maybe all the fathers in the world. What do you hope to see and wish for us all? Well, I hope that every father and everyone to build a strong family. All you have is your family, my friend. You don't have friends. Do you understand? You have associates, coworkers, parents, whatever you want to call them. Your family is your friend, man. Your family will be there for you. You know what I'm saying? You do the right thing for your family, they'll be there for you. You're gonna get old, I'm getting old. And I hope that I never need my ass. But if I do need my family to clean my ass, I know they will. And that's a good feeling. Do you understand? But if you don't do the right thing for your family, believe me, you'll pay. You could pay today, you could pay tomorrow, but the bottom line, you will pay. I have my daughter that's a hospice nurse. Because every one of my kids are very successful. Because I'm pursuit. She told me stories about guys or family. They never do anything to their family. She can tell. And the people that do good for their family, she can tell. On their dying bed, family is there with love. Because all they do is love from their family. And the ones that didn't give their love, just don't have no love. So that's, do you want to have them to you? Would you like that happen to you? Have no love when you're dying bed? No, nobody wants that. But if you don't give the love now to your family, that's what's going to happen to you. And you're anyone of us. Thank you, Dad. The prom, guys. Edmund Hall. Yeah. Make it happen, make it happen. You guys are beautiful. What he represents is patriarchy. We're here to do work as men as patriots. There's nothing more natural than being a father.
