00:00:01 Kevin
Lying and being deceitful gets people into trouble.
00:00:04 Kevin
We've kind of been building to this as well.
00:00:06 Kevin
So in the past, we've talked about people being resentful and people using that resent to cause you harm.
00:00:13 Kevin
And you have to live with those consequences of you being truthful.
00:00:16 Kevin
You have to also live with the consequences of lying.
00:00:18 Kevin
So I'd rather live with the consequences of telling the truth.
00:00:20 Kevin
So with that said, people are going to do nefarious things, things that they know that they shouldn't do, things that they know that they shouldn't get away with, like, you know,
00:00:30 Kevin
government corruption, stealing from an employer, stealing from a loved one.
00:00:37 Kevin
Maybe you're caretaking an elderly person.
00:00:39 Kevin
You don't think, you know, this is, nobody's going to notice, whatever.
00:00:42 Kevin
And so if something that you do calls out a truth and you sit there and you say, hey, listen, I'm going to tell the truth and I saw this person do this.
00:00:50 Kevin
I, you know, or I have evidence that this person is doing this or this person
00:00:55 Kevin
maybe doing something corrupt and you're just like, hey, listen, if you're not doing anything corrupt, I'm gonna shine some light on it.
00:01:00 Kevin
And we're gonna have an entire segment on the show where we're calling people out for lying and it's in an attempt to make them better people and maybe justice has to be served, but justice is going to teach them a valuable lesson about doing things that we do not accept in our society.
00:01:16 Kevin
And telling the truth is something we accept, lying is something we don't, lying is not a crime,
00:01:23 Kevin
but it is an unacceptable behavior.
00:01:25 Kevin
And so is deceit.
00:01:26 Kevin
And then so are all the things that spawn out of it.
00:01:28 Kevin
Those lies turn into corruption.
00:01:30 Kevin
Those lies turn into embezzlement.
00:01:32 Kevin
Those lies turn into favoritism and nepotism and things like that.
00:01:37 Kevin
And we're going to combat it.
00:01:38 Kevin
And you should combat it in your everyday life.
00:01:41 Kevin
And you have to live with the consequences.
00:01:44 Kevin
And those people that you call out for such lies are going to be more likely
00:01:51 Kevin
to shoot arrows at your armor and to try to take you down and build a lot of resentment against you because you called them out.
00:01:59 Kevin
You called out their hustle.
00:02:01 Kevin
You called out whatever they thought they could get away with and they're going to resent you for it.
00:02:05 Kevin
And it is going to be many years, if ever, that they are going to learn a lesson from it.
00:02:09 Kevin
But that's where we hope our justice system ties in, but you can never tell with people, so.
