Thank you.
Now, first, I hate when people talk about parenting and they make it sound so easy.
Parents take too much credit for their kids and too much blame.
And it's a crapshoot, one way or another.
There are some wonderful kids who come from the most horrific of circumstances.
Unbelievable!
And then there are other kids who come from great families and things go wrong.
Things go south.
We don't know why.
We're not really sure.
But in any event, that aside, here is the thing which I will never understand and so many of my friends will say this.
I will ask the question.
Do you remember your father ever telling you he loved you?
This is from men now, in particular.
And they'll say, well, no, but he, I knew he, no, no, no.
Do you remember him saying, I love you?
I love you, son.
That's it.
That's it.
Just, I love you.
Hearing those words, I love you.
Whatever the language, they say no.
That's disgusting.
That is disgusting.
That is malpractice.
That is evil.
That's wrong.
I don't care about you and your family.
Well, I wasn't ready.
Shut up.
Kids need this.
They need it.
So two things today.
Number one.
If you're a father, rather than waiting for your kids to call you, oh man, they're going to call you, whatever it is, but, but, but, but, you tell your sons in particular, daughters, yes, don't forget daughters.
John Mayer, mothers be nice to your daughters, whatever that song is, but I'm focusing on this.
You tell your sons, your daughters, but your son in particular, you say, I love you.
It's not too late if you haven't.
That's it.
You don't have to go through explanations.
Well, you know, in my family, you see, your grandparents were, they're from a cold, rather austere, yeah, okay, okay.
Nobody cares.
I love you.
That's it.
From the time kids are born to the time, from the time they can remember, you tell kids you love them.
You love them.
That's it.
That's it.
Show them, of course.
Don't love them.
Say to them while you're hitting them.
I'm not going to get into spanking.
That's a whole other thing.
Daughters need fathers.
So much more.
This is so Freudian.
Oh my god.
The level, the connectivity, the reaction, the way self-esteem and self-image as a woman, the way they are cemented by virtue of a familial paternal relationship is Inexplicable.
The complexity of the...
It just goes without saying.
And it's something that people don't really recognize.
They don't really realize.
Now, fathers, new fathers, you make sure you tell your son from the time they can remember you love them.
I don't care what happens.
It can be a divorce.
You might separate.
You might be, for whatever circumstance, your kids move away or whatever it is, I don't care.
The idea is to build a foundation.
And kids need that more than you can imagine.
And right now, I don't have to tell you, there's a lot of people in the world who want to destroy everything about the familial structure.
They want to destroy everything.
They want to destroy our families, our setup, our...
They want to destroy our world.
They want to destroy our world.
They want to destroy the basic fundamentals of who we are.
They want to destroy everything from paternity to maternity to gender.
And they're kind of getting successful.
And by the way, let me say something also.
And listen to me very carefully.
Listen to me.
You're stuck.
You've been into this so far six minutes, so you're going to keep going.
If your son or daughter, if they are gay or trans or bi or any of the other alphabet letters, you love them too.
I don't care who they are.
I don't care what they exude.
I don't care what they look like.
You love them.
You love them.
And you make sure you tell them as a father, in particular, hence the day, that no matter what, no matter who they are, no matter what life, Brings them, no matter the travails, it doesn't matter.
You love them.
You love them and you are always going to love them no matter what.
That's it.
So that when they are asked the question one time, did your father ever tell you?
They say, yes!
So much of the problems that we have today, so much has to do not with Social media and games and devices.
Those are a problem, too.
Not the media, not music, not, you know, Anheuser-Busch and Target and LGBT.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
The deep state and all that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It comes down to very simply this.
It's the idea of self-esteem.
Building the individual.
There are very, very evil forces in the world that want to destroy the notion of self-esteem.
Esteem and self-confidence.
And they self-reference.
They want to destroy this.
And anything that we can do as humans, parents, citizens to change that, is a different story.
And it starts from little kids.
Little kids who are going to be going into a world that are so demented, so weird, so strange, so fractious as to gender and masks and extended...
The thing we can do is we can say, no matter what happens, little Morgan or the little whoever you are, daddy loves you.
Do you know that?
Look at me.
Look at me.
He loves you.
And if anybody tells you that I don't love you, what are you going to say?
What are you going to say?
What are you going to say if somebody says he doesn't love you?
You make a game out of it.
And that's it.
And you do it all the time.
Every time.
It's like, hello.
It's almost like a...
It's part of the other things we do.
You tell them that because you tell them you're worth it.
You are special.
You are great.
I haven't gone into anything else as far as praise and recommendations and self-confidence.
That's...
Listen, that's kind of self-help.
That's evident.
Or maybe it's not.
I don't know.
I don't want to come across as Mr. Expert.
All I know is this.
The love part.
The love part.
Everything in our society, everything has so much to do with there not being a foundation enough of our self-image and self-reference based upon our infancy, our childhood, our growing up, our adolescence.
And what would change that drastically is if kids have an idea that they're special.
It's the most important thing.
I'm very lucky.
I came from a great family with great parents that always made me feel that I could do whatever I wanted.
That no matter what I looked like or what I did, I was, you know, productive as a kid.
And that was always great.
And as long as I tried, that was it.
But bottom line, forget school, forget all that stuff.
The love part of the condition was absolute.
There was never a doubt in my mind.
My father and I said this our entire life.
And we always hugged and kissed and it was understood.
And I cannot imagine what I would be or anybody would be if the two people who you first meet in your life, who gave you life, if they didn't tell you, Right off the bat, that we love you.
If they don't love you, why would anybody else?
It's very simple.
Let me also tell you something.
This is my opinion.
Of course it's my opinion.
Why do I have to tell you something?
Of course it's my opinion.
Then I'm right.
Kids are resilient.
Divorce, separation, death, whatever.
Hard?
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
But if that foundation, if the fundamental, if the foundation of self-worth is there by virtue of a...
I forget who was it who said this.
I don't know where I heard this, heard this, but somebody said it.
Might have been a movie, might have been, I don't know.
But they said you marinate kids in love.
And that when they get older, they're juicy.
It's an interesting concept, but the idea is that it forms the foundation.
That's all.
So on Father's Day, remember, they're trying to destroy it.
All types of lab-raised humans.
We don't need men or fathers or mothers or genders.
You know what?
We'll talk about that later.
But for the time being, fathers, while you are here, you are needed.
And what you are needed for more than...
Anything in the world and it's so simple is to tell your kids and your sons in particular.
It's very important that you love them and that they're special and you will always love them no matter what they do.
That's it.
And when I say sons in particular, believe me, I'll do something one day on daughters too because I'm an expert psychologist.
You know this.
I mean, I'm just self-appointed.
But for today, I have to say that.
