  Speaker 1: I want to talk to men for a minute. You know,
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: we live in a society today where we live in
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: a country that's supposed to pride itself on free speech.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: But I must warn you that's not the case. Free
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: speech has been taken away. You can't say what you
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: want to say no more because everybody's offended now, everybody,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: and this world we live in now has new normals
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: that they've created that didn't exist for me back in
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: the day. I'm old school. I'm sixty eight years old,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: so what's normal now was not normal then. But I
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: want to talk to fathers for a minute. I want
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: to talk to men out there who are raising sons.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: And let me tell you something. It's nothing wrong with
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: the way your father raised you. So if you're taking
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: the same way your father raised you and applying it
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: to your sons, it ain't nothing wrong with that. You
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: ain't got to fix something that ain't broke. But you
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: got to be careful with these new normals out here,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: because they will make you think that it's broke when
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: it's really not. The way my relationship was with my
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: father it was fine, man, it was fine. Oh he
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: was tough, Oh he was tough. He was hard on
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: me at times, but I look back on it and
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: I realized what he was preparing me for. He was
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: preparing me for this life that I was gonna have
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: as a black man, that it was going to be hard.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: So you might as well start practicing now. And I'm
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: not fitish sugarcoat this thing for you or soften it
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: for you because they Fitnah, give it to you now.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: I can give it to you here at the house,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: or I can let the police give it to you
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: out there on the street. I prefer giving it to
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: you here at the house. That was my father the
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: way raised me. If you have sons out there and
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: your father raised you with tough love and it worked
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: and you turn out to be just fine, hold on
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: to that and don't let these new norms sway you.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Because these new norms, man, they're really not working. They're
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: really not working. It's absolutely okay to be old school.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: It's absolutely okay to teach your son principles. It's actually
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: okay to pull out a chair for a woman. It's
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: absolutely okay to open the door for a woman. It's
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: absolutely okay to be required to open up a car
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: door and put her in and make sure she in
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: that before you get in the car. It's your duty
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: to pump the gas instead of her. It's okay to
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: teach that. It's okay to teach that to your sons. Man,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: don't let these new norms get in your way, because
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: these new norms is hurting people. Man, It's okay to
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: take care of a woman. It really is. It's it's
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: an honor. It's been my honor to be a provider. Now.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: I ain't good at a lot of stuff. My wife
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: then told me that, Steve, you ain't good at a
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: lot of stuff. But when it comes to it taking
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: care of your family. I don't know nobody better. But
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: listen to me. Taking care of your family don't mean
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: you got a lot of money. It means you taking
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: care of your family. And this is what I'm praying.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Tribute to the men out there that's taking care of
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: their business the right way, the way your father did
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: or the way your father. Some men are good at
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: being fathers and dads and husbands now because their father
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: was absent. He taught you what not to do. So
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: hats off to them men too. But listen to me,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: that is a way to teach manhood, and if you
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: know the way, teach it. Don't run no slack on them,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: don't give them no breaks, don't cut no corners, because
