Lou Holtz: Chiefs' Butker 'was speaking from his heart' | America Right Now

and family? Well Tom. It's because of our values. And uh, whatever happened to free speech , you know, he wasn't speaking to the bus clinic. He wasn't speaking to convention of people who favor a fortune. He was speaking one from his heart. And uh, I when our first child was born away at four, George RR coach most important thing do as a father. Make sure that child knows how much you love their mother. I never said a word to my wife or about my wife, But it in front of our Children in this that why in the world do we criticize whatever everybody else says That's nonsense. It's freedom of speech, and George Oliver also said coach You may win a lot of championship. But if you are successful as a husband or father, you fear and I believe that in the bottom of my heart, my wife was an X ray technician. Wonderful girl. We're married for 59 years. Does She passed away to cancer? Unfortunately, but We made that decision. We're going to go without some of the luxuries that everybody else had so that she could be home with the Children. It was more important to us that we had the subway there at home when the Children came home and excited or different they had somebody to share with, and my wife job was far more important than mine. And by far she did a much better job than I did on the time. It's just crazy and in the NFL comes out and criticize them. Who in the world we can have a Colin Kaepernick. Take a Dick condemn the country. How about the people of the NFL who have been arrested for mugging? Different people, et cetera. Oh, no, that's ok with that. But somebody speaks out in favor of God. When I, uh, last election, I got a Joe Biden. I said he can't be a Catholic if he believes in a fantasy he believes in abortion up to the very last day and Notre Dame came out against me. Notre Dame a Catholic university, But you know what, you clothes, right, You march on, Do you Do what you believe your heart's right and proper and you live with it. You don't worry about what other people are saying. The second I. I believe that what he said, and that spoken to Benedictine College commencement. I spoken to the university since then. Wonderful scope statement is a presence that a great job with it. They have a beautiful uh uh, grotto there and it just It's a Catholic university and he's a Catholic. And when you go to a Catholic university you speak I think you believe in the bottom of your heart, of course, can't understand why people get upset, but once again goes back to the freedom of speech. There's Harry Truman said that freedom swing your fist is where the other guys do begin. Will you keep me from B? Believe it or saying what I think That's not right. That's not fair. That's not what made this country great co coach Let Let's listen to a little bit More of that speech, including his critique of fatherless homes and the negative impact on society. Watch this. To the gentlemen here today. Part of what plagues our society. Is this lie that has been told to you that men are not necessary in the home or in our communities as men. We set the tone of the culture and when that is absent disorder, dysfunction and chaos set in. This absence of men in the home is what plays a large role in the violence we see all around the nation. Other countries do not have nearly the same absentee father rates as we find here in the US. Almost on cue coach the left in the mainstream media pounced on this, suggesting that his remarks were actually racist. Now coach You spent decades shaping the lives and the careers of young men. Was there anything wrong with what he said there? No In in 1988 time, Ma became music coach . Would you write a editorial? What this country would be like to the 2020. I still have that article. And it says a propo today. What I said about is a breakdown of the family. Well we don't have a father and a family . We don't have leadership. We don't have disciplines. We end up with people doing what they want to do in the matter. They want to do it, and that's not right. What he said is absolutely true. And I feel the biggest thing that hurt this country was a Society where we don't need a man in a home you have more Children will give you more money. That's nonsense. We've gotten away from the values. I do a podcast off. Yeah. Title America's culture culture. What a we have lost. I could write a book about the freedom we've lost since I was born, and I'm 87 years of age. Uh uh. And my birthday can was Scott for a cake. I understand that pot. Let's make sure we understand the values What made this country Great. We go through immigration. Great Come here to become us. Don't come here and ask us to become you. I don't care how you did things in your country. This is the
