Speaker 2 (00:16):
Don't revel in others stupidity. I saw a story so
story this past weekend. It was how women are now
getting themselves sterilized after Donald Trump's victory. It's their only option,

(00:41):
not a procedure. You'd expect a twenty eight year old
to be planning, but for Lydia Echols, having her fallopian
tubes removed is the price she's willing to pay to
ensure her reproductive rights. Newsweeks spoke to five women who
have undergone sterilization procedures or plan to. They fear their

(01:03):
reproductive choices will be taken. The funny thing is with
this story is this woman's husband had of a sect me.
I read this story and you know, it really made
me sad. Now say, don't revel in other people's stupidities,

(01:25):
because again you get the comments rolling on social media
and talking about us. Great, we're removing all of these
idiots from the gene pool. They're not going to be
able to reproduce. Above all, we should be sad for

(01:47):
people like this, people that are that lost, as difficult,
as difficult as it may be, as difficult it may
sound when I'm you know, trying to ask of every
one out there is Yeah, these are people. I've said
this before. These are people that need your prayers. You're

(02:10):
talking about lost souls, you really are. And again you're
watching the collective breakdown of these people online on TV everywhere.
And I was reminded of Peter Dostovski quote and I

(02:33):
pulled it up. Above all, this is a lesson, okay,
And this is for all of lost souls out there,
because this is where they're at, this is where they're going.
Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies
to himself and listens to his own line comes to
such a pass that he cannot distinguish the truth within

(02:56):
him or around him, and so loses all respect for
himself and for others. And having no respect, he ceases
to love, and in order to occupy and distract himself.
Without love, he gives way to passions and coarse pleasures,
and sinks to bet reality in all his vices all
from continual lying to other men and to himself. The

(03:20):
man a lies to himself can be more easily offended
than anyone. That's something we see often. You know, it
is sometimes very pleasant to take offense, isn't it. A
man may know that nobody has insulted him, but that
he has invented the insult for himself, has lied and
exaggerated to make it picturesque, has caught at a word

(03:43):
and made a mountain out of a molehill. He knows
that himself, Yet he will be the first to take
offense and will revel in his resentment till he feels
great pleasure in it and so pass to genuine vindictiveness.
This is the case of many people today, and again,

(04:06):
just like you don't want to revel in resentment and
pleasure in your big misus, we can't revel in the
misfortune of where these people are at. Try not to,
you know, perverbally, you know where It's almost like spike
the football, if you will, at the breakdown of some

(04:29):
of these these lost souls, because let's be real, that's
what they are. The lost Watchdog on Wall Street dot
