• 1:13
  Speaker 2: If you see a meme and it makes you mad,
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: what do you do?
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: You keep scrolling oh yeah.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: You just touch the screen and you put and you
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: just swipe up if yes, yes, put the angry face.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: If you see a post that you deem is misinformation
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: or isn't the correct information and you want so bad
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: to say something, what do you do?
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: You know what, if you're holding your phone, you just
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: get your thumb and you scroll. You just keep scrolling. Yeah,
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: that's so good.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Okay. If you see that somebody incredible that this country
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: absolutely admires and looks up and you see that they
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: say rest in peace to this person that was assassinated,
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: and it makes you so mad.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: What do you do for the level of God? Keep scrolling?
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: You keep scrolling. That's true, you know, it's honest. Sounds like, yeah,
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: we've learned the art of this. We'll just think about
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: it for years, for years. And I've always said my
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: friendships are more important to me than politics. So when
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: I see them and these are friends that have known
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: me that they know I'm not a racist, they know
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: I'm not a fascist, and they called the Trumps and
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: they know that I support Trump, and they'll say something
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: like Trump's supporters are all just racist, bigoted fascists. And
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: I think to myself. She knows that's not true, but
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: I just keep scrolling. It's not worth it to keep
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: it's easy. And so when I see that and I,
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: you know, I think, gosh, she's that's not right. But
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: you know what, everybody believes the way they believe, for
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: whatever reason they believe it. But here's what happened recently
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: with the tragic death of Charlie Kirk. I wrote a
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: post and I normally don't say anything, and this wasn't
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: a political post, but I keep political post off of
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: my own personal Facebook page. Yeah, and this time it
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: was about him, the man. I showed a video of Pat.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: Pat David said this is how we all felt when
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: we heard the news. And then I wrote a post
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: about the kind of man that Charlie was and it
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: went viral. One point six million people on Facebook watched that.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: And I had a dear friend, one that's known me
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: for a long time, that was upset because she thought
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: that he was racist and.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: She thought Charlie Kirk was right.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, So I responded back and I told her
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: you got it wrong. The media has pulled out clips
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: out of context to keep the division alive, but I'm
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: not going to tell you how to believe her what
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: to believe. I just want you to know I love you,
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: I love your family. I'm always here if you need anything.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: And then I found out that she infriended me and
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: me and I was devastated. This is a dear, dear friend.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: And I thought, you know, for years, for years, I've
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: seen her and other friends say things. I know it's
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: not personal, and I don't take it personally, And that's
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: what I said to her on the thing. I said,
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: I don't I've heard things for years. I've seen things
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: that my friends have written for years. I choose not
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: to take it personally because I know that they know me,
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: they know that this is not true about all Trump supporters.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: Are there some radical rights, radical less, I'm sure, But
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: for the majority of us, we're just, you know, faithful,
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: good Christians that just want to We want to vote
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: the way that we vote because it feels right in
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: our heart. So when we say we're kind of making
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: a joke about just keep scrolling, But there really is
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: a point to it. It really is as easy as
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: deciding in that moment, is my friendship more important than
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: me doing a thumbs down on this post? My friendship
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: is more important than that. It will always be and
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: if they want to talk about it on the side,
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: of course, But so we were joking, but it's the
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: truth just keeps scrolling, even if it's family, because you
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: know that when you see them in person, it's not
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: like that. You know, you see each other, you engage,
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: you love, and you don't talk polish. That's just the
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: way it is.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: I do find that helpful when I'm talking to people
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: that I know are friends of mine, but I also
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: know they absolutely disagree with just about everything we say
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: on the Show's right, they don't talk about politics, I figured,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: and I guess we have a little bit of advantage.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: If anybody ever wants to know what we think about politics,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: they can just listen to American Ground Radio. It's available
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: on podcasts wherever you get podcasts. But the point is
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: is that, yeah, I mean, you can just you can
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: maintain a focus on a friendship rather.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: Than and it goes another way. You know, you say
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: they don't agree with any everything we say. I don't
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: agree with everything they say exactly. I read their things
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: and I think, well, I know for a fact that's
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: not true. I mean, for it, this is not factual.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: But I don't say anything. I don't agree with everything
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: that they say. And that doesn't mean I'm more important,
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: or I'm more informed or whatever. It just means that
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: what I am privy to this is what it states.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: That's what I've learned because I've gotten a thing with
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: my cousin who's very liberal, and she sent me a link.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: I said, if you want to get in a link off,
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: we can do that. The links come from whatever side
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: you think is important, like my conservative author will combat
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: your liberal author in this little link off, So that
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: won't get us anywhere. Just go with your gut, go
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: with your heart. Keep scrolling.
