| 0:00.0 | We all feel it. We feel the foundations, cracking. The foundations of our country, some of the erosion is just the inevitable settling that happens to any foundation, especially when apathy keeps us from maintaining it. |
| 0:29.0 | Some may even be from gaps in the original stonework, but the purposeful dismantling of our nation's foundation is causing our nation to crumble around us. |
| 0:41.0 | And we're more divided than we've ever been. And on both sides, we're mad as hell. |
| 0:48.0 | One side wants to pull the republic down and change it to the other says, not on my watch. |
| 0:56.0 | When we see what's happening, we feel angry. I mean, you should feel angry. I want to fight. I'm guessing you want to fight. But we don't know how. |
| 1:12.0 | In a few minutes, I'm going to give you a way to fight, to begin that long journey. |
| 1:19.0 | But first, we must recognize why we're fighting. You want to fight because you see injustice in the world. You see hate and lies winning, winning in our schools, winning in our churches, winning in our children. |
| 1:36.0 | We want to crush the chaos, stamp it out with our foot. And it's really easy to misdirect our anger, pointed at everyone, at every institution, every system, every politician. |
| 1:48.0 | Every journalist, every single person on Twitter and Facebook because we feel they deserve it. |
| 1:55.0 | And the world is just so messed up. And I have a right to be angry, don't I? Don't you? Maybe. |
| 2:09.0 | But before you act in your anger, ask yourself this question, why am I so angry? What is the anger here for? |
| 2:21.0 | Because just like pain, pain tells your body, hey, don't do that again. Anger is there for a reason as well. So what is the anger here to teach me? |
| 2:34.0 | Anger like sadness comes from somewhere deep inside of us. And sometimes we don't even know where or why it's there. It just is. |
| 2:44.0 | This is where we make a crucial decision. Do I allow an anger that I don't understand to tell me what to do? Or, do I not? |
| 2:59.0 | I want you to think of anger like rocket fuel. Imagine because it is that powerful. You can use it to launch a rocket into space or you can blow everything up. |
| 3:12.0 | There's lots of people that will tell you to blow everything up and I implore you don't. Even on the days that you really want to. |
| 3:20.0 | Even on the days that it's really completely justified, just don't blow everything up. Instead ask yourself, why am I so angry? |
| 3:34.0 | What is it that you love that you lost? Because I think that's where anger comes from when you lose something you love. |
| 3:45.0 | So what is it that you've lost? What is the foundation that is being pulled out from underneath us? Close your eyes and really think about it. |
| 3:58.0 | Now, can you restore it? |
| 4:05.0 | Can you use this feeling inside of you to fix the problem that's making you so angry? If you really, really humble yourself, ask yourself if you somehow are contributing to the problem. |
| 4:22.0 | Is there something in you or in me? Is there something broken that can't be fixed? Something that your anger is trying to tell you about? |
