00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:10,100
The very word “politics” stirs up an unprecedented 
amount of emotion in Americans.

2
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:16,200
It’s as though battle lines have been drawn 
and people are ready to stand by their opinion 
at all costs.

3
00:00:16,300 --> 00:00:24,600
Unfortunately, this same emotion often clouds 
a person's judgment. They jump to conclusions 
without regard to truth.

4
00:00:24,700 --> 00:00:31,300
Emotions rising on the inside should never 
signal the need to protect your opinion at 
all costs.

5
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:38,600
Rather, it should indicate the need to stop 
and determine what’s causing the emotional 
uproar. More than that,

6
00:00:38,700 --> 00:00:46,800
listen to the information presented and learn. 
If Americans ever want the opportunity to 
stop complaining about politics,

7
00:00:46,900 --> 00:00:54,700
they have to start valuing truth over personal 
opinion and experience. I’m Mac Hammond,
