When Hurricanes Hit And Entitlement Shows
A Category Five hurricane slams Jamaica, the airport floods, roofs vanish, and power is scarce—yet a viral video fixates on breakfast. We dive into the uncomfortable gap between what travelers think they’re owed and what disaster-struck communities can realistically provide. From boxed lunches to shelter-in-place protocols, we talk through how crisis hospitality actually works, why safety must outrank perks, and what gratitude looks like when staff have families of their own to find and protect.
Along the way, we unpack the social media storm: snap judgments, nationality assumptions, and the reveal that the angry guest was from Bermuda—an island familiar with hurricanes. That twist reframes the point: empathy should not depend on passports. We layer in a vital perspective from a caller on trauma responses and culture, exploring why people grasp for control under stress and how a calm friend, a short walk, and a deep breath can de-escalate a combustible moment. Practical compassion isn’t abstract; it’s a choice to prioritize safety, to thank the people holding the line, and to accept that recovery is messy.
We close by widening the lens to another crisis too often ignored: domestic violence. Survivors need more than sympathy—they need community, resources, and policy that centers their safety. Abuse is not only physical; it’s emotional, financial, and coercive, and it escalates when silence lets it. The thread connecting everything is simple and urgent: in disaster or behind closed doors, our first job is to protect one another. If you’re traveling during hurricane season, prepare, respect local guidance, and be ready to adapt. If you know someone trapped in harm, reach out with care and concrete help.
If this conversation moved you, subscribe, share the show with a friend, and leave a review. Your voice helps more people find the message—and helps us keep building a community that chooses empathy over entitlement.
All right, good afternoon, good afternoon. How is everyone doing today? I hope everybody's doing fine, everybody's day is going good, and that you're having a great, great day. At least someplace where it ain't raining or something like that. But it's your boy Damon. I'm here with the DK and Tree Podcast. Hey, listen, listen. I told y'all when the tomfoolery is on, I'm all for the tomfoolery too. Because this tomfoolery that I saw, I figured I said, hey, let me come get your opinion about this one. So cruising through X and Tickie Talk and all these other social media outlets. Let's start here. What happened in Jamaica was horrible, horrendous. If you've seen the aftermath of what the Hurricane Melissa did, was just terrible. Terrible. Destroyed an island. You had a storm that covered the whole island. They're saying this was one of the worst storms in history to hit that island. They said they haven't had a storm hit that island since 1935. That's 90 years ago. 90 years. And what I'm gonna touch on is this. I saw a video. Um, I guess some people was down there and they was all on vacation. Now, with the age of technology, phones, social media, anything of that, you know when events are going on on this world, on this earth, and you know when something's gonna happen. And if you're going on vacation during hurricane season, you might want to be a little bit more aware of saying, Hey, this storm is gonna hit this place, but in true resilience, what they did, they was like, Hey, we're getting prepared for this, we're getting ready for this, and we're going to try to do the best we can. They provided shelters for people that was dead that couldn't get off the island. They did everything they could to help people, but of course, you see one person, right? And the person said on the video, somebody was recording this, and they were saying, Well, what are you doing for the people? Um, we want to get something to eat, we want breakfast, we want this, and you only giving us pastries. Um, ma'am, a category five storm just hit the island that you're vacationing on. Vacationing on, and you getting upset with the staff because they had a category five and you want the same treatment there before the storm hit. Ma'am, ma'am, get yourself together. And what disturbed me a lot is like when I was reading through different comments about it, especially on X. Especially on X. If anyone's listening on X and you want to make a comment about it, anyone listening on X, there's something scrolling across the bottom of the screen. You can call in here, you can give me your opinion on it. But I was kind of disturbed a lot about the comments off of X about some people agreeing with this lady talking about I paid my money, and I should have that same treatment after a category five storm just hit them and leveled everything. Some people lost everything, houses. Did you see the airport in Montego Bay? Did anybody see that? Destroyed, and you telling me you want the same level of treatment before that storm hit, they don't have the resources for it. People have families. I'm pretty sure they wanted to go home and attend to their family or be with their families, not to make it to their families to make sure they're safe, but yet you're that insensitive. And to me, she was insensitive to say, hey, no, I want my treatment, I paid my money. Well, you didn't know a category five storm was about to hit that island, didn't you? They say there was the strongest storms, windstorms on record. They couldn't even measure it. They say even when the um hurricane hunters was going into the storm, that they could not measure the wind speed. It was over 200 miles per hour, over 200 miles per hour. But yet you want the same treatment and you want the same uh no, absolutely not, absolutely not. And she and again, a lot of people was like, oh no, we're not for that. Not trying to listen to that at all, and whatever. But some of the people were agreeing with her, agreeing with her. They was like, Oh, if I paid my money, I want the same treatment. How are you gonna get it when they don't when the the compound is leveled, roof is missing, rooms are destroyed, them workers are not gonna be there, they're gonna be with their families, and I don't blame them. I don't blame them, and then like I said, just reading through some of the comments, I was like, Wow, the world we live in is unbelievable. People are special to say the least. Yes, they are, they are very special to say the least, but it like I said, it just broke my heart to just listen to her ridicule the people, and he was like, Well, where are you going? He was even concerned for the safety. Where are you going? We're going across the street. He said, Well, the gas station's closed, he said, the mall is closed, everything is closed. Jamaica got leveled, destroyed, and again, when you see the different videos and pictures and everything that's coming out of there, it's sad. It is very, very sad that the storm covered the whole island and destroyed them, and now they have to pick up the pieces and together, but yet some of the tourists that come in entitlement, you feel as though, oh, I should get the same treatment before this storm hit. No, you're not gonna get the same treatment. She even complained about oh, they boxed up lunches for us. At least they was thinking about you enough to feed you. Give me a break. What what what do you want? That's just like saying, okay, an earthquake happens, and California gets in the lot, right? An earthquake happens, but we still want you to come where we have an 8.9 magnitude earthquake, but we all want you to come to work. Come on now, stop playing, stop playing. You're gonna have things destroyed, things in the way. You are just not gonna be able to operate the same, and they can't operate the same, especially with the devastation that they have down there. Again, my hearts and prayers go to them, but for the simple fact that it was just you're insensitive to the staff because you're not getting the same treatment because I paid my money. You knew that storm was coming there, but yet you put it on them talking about well, you knew this storm was coming and y'all should have been better prepared. How can you prepare for a category five hurricane? I I I'm just asking for myself. How can you prepare for that? How do you they they help shelter you in place to help keep you safe, and they're doing the best they can to try to help you survive until you get off that island, until you get off. But then in twist, you know, people start pinning response videos, right? And they was like, hey, yes, I see why so many countries dislike Americans. Yes, absolutely. But let me get to the twist part. So, of course, you know, social media, they're gonna research you when stuff comes up, right? So at first they thought it was an American, it was an American, it was an American, right? They researched this lady, this lady from Bermuda. Let that sink in for a second. This lady's from Bermuda. Bermuda. Right? So you're from an island, but yet you're gonna go to another island and treat them like that. But you're from an island. I'm pretty sure hurricanes has hit Bermuda too. Right? Would you want someone treating you like that if they came to Bermuda? Would you want some someone treating your country people like that? Entitled? And you fussing at people? I get you paid your money. I get it. I completely understand. But also, I'm pretty sure you knew that hurricane was coming, and you probably had time to get out of there, and you choose you chose not to, but you stayed there and this. So when I saw all the other videos about oh, the Americans, the Americans, they was like, Well, wait a minute, hold on, and they started putting up this person's profile. No, this person's from Bermuda. I actually saw another video where they said I went on this lady's page and she was talking in her native tongue. So she ain't American, she's from Bermuda. So you're another island, this and another island. Come on now. When's this gonna stop? When are we gonna show compassion for each other? Because that was insensitive, especially the devastation that they got down there in Jamaica. It is sad. I'm still seeing videos. Like I say, I saw the one video of the airport down there in Montego Bay, level, destroyed. I mean, water just cornered, roof tore off other parts of the island, roofs tore off houses over there. Some people's houses completely gone, completely gone, but Montego Bay took a hit because that's where the eye of the storm was, and they were saying again, they couldn't even measure the wind speeds, it was so dangerous for the hurricane hunters they had to abort it again. Level uh I mean a category five hurricane, level that island, and just watching that on the weather channel and seeing that this hurricane covered the whole island and just destroyed the place, you know. You got people that was at the aftermath in the street, and you see sharks are in the in the streets, swimming in the street, sharks they telling people, hey, stay away, you know, we don't want you to get hurt. But the insensitive insensitivity of people of I'm not gonna say all, but some people, especially the lady in that video talking about this doesn't make any sense. I paid my money, I got it right, and even some of the comments. Like I said, if you're on X, because this is where I was seeing these comments, call me, call me, call me. It's going across the bottom of the screen if you're on X and you're seeing this, and tell me if you if you agree with it or you disagree with it. But this is where I saw most of these comments from was off of X. But again, all I'm saying is that that was a natural disaster that could not be helped, and you're gonna be insensitive about it. A lot of other videos that I saw, people's hearts and prayers went out for them, and they were still there. They was just trying to pick out hey, how can I get off the island? How can I get home? One bribe was like, Hey, I was asleep, you know, I've asleep through the whole thing. He said that the resort took good care of me. He was like, they had a shelter in place, you know, they had uh shelters for us, and you know, for the most part, I've seen it, but it was just that one, and always takes one, right? Always takes one, but like I said, and for you to be from an island and you treated them like that, what that say about you? Come on, now I I just I don't get it, I don't understand. I mean, anyone that's looking, help me understand this one. I mean, I get that we pay our hard our money to go on trips, but again, I'm pretty sure we watch Weber reports too, or someplace we're going because nobody wants to get stuck in a storm, a natural disaster, or anything like that. I'm pretty sure we check that stuff. But for you to treat that staff that way was unacceptable, unacceptable, and again, I'm all for debates, I'm all for debates. Anybody want to debate it? I'm all for debate. I just totally disagree with it. Even the lady um that videoed it, she didn't say anything, but again, reading the comments, somebody thought that because the lady recorded the lady saying that to her, that she was insistent there. I'm like, do you know we're in the age of cameras? We're in the age of cameras, everybody records everything, they do, they record everything, they don't care what it is, they're gonna record it and they're gonna put it out there. And again, it just paints the picture of what person you are and what your sensitivity level is like if you're a sensitive person, if you're a butthole or whatever, they capture all of it, and then when you're plastered all over social media, guess what? It never comes off, it never comes off. So, my thing with this is that could she handle that a better way? Yeah, she could have, in my opinion. She could have handled it a better way, but she didn't. She was in the berate, the staff, it was like, Hey, we're doing our best to try to protect y'all, try to help you. If it wasn't for them doing what they did, you might not be here. So, shout out to them to protecting everyone that was on that resort. And again, my prayers and heart goes out to Jamaica because the devastation down there is just unreal. And remember, they're an island, but they can't run nowhere, they can't go any place. See, here, you know, something hit. Let's let's take Florida for instance. They get hurricanes going through there all the time. Florida can leave, right? They can leave the state of Florida, they can go someplace else, right? Hey, I can go up north and get away from the storm, I can go west to get away from the storm. They have that option. Jamaica didn't have that option. They had that option at all. They couldn't run from it. They had to take it. And now look at the aftermath. Look at what's look at the devastation. Again, people lost homes, lost everything. They lost everything. And now they're getting help in there, they're getting help from other countries to help them. You know, I didn't hear anything about deaths or anything like that. But I pray that everybody survived that. But again, these people was working on these resorts, they did a tremendous job of keeping their people safe. Whether it'd been their workers, whether it'd been the tourists that came there or anything. You should show them people some appreciation. And in that video, that guy and that staff did not get any appreciation. And again, I'm gonna harp on this one again. You being from an island, an island, you from Bermuda, who gets leveled by storms too. To treat them like that, what does that say about you? Because you paid your money, as you say. So, in a pastry was unacceptable for breakfast. Again, they just got leveled by a category five storm, unbelievable. And again, when you get plastic on social media, look what happens. Because again, they're gonna find you, they'll find out who you are. And they was like, wait, whoa, she ain't American, not American, she's from Bermuda. I was like, wow, and again, like I said, the other video I saw, the young lady was like, Oh, I went on her page and she was talking in her native tongue. She ain't American, so don't put that on us. So again, I it insensitive, insensitive. I it the video was insensitive, so I had to come on here and talk about that one because that made no sense whatsoever. And ma'am, I just hope that you never have to experience what Jamaica experienced because you wouldn't want them someone saying that to you. I am sure of it. You know what they say, what's good for the goose and good for the gander. Nah. Just pray that that type of storm doesn't hit Bermuda in your home. Because they say you reap what you sell, so ma'am, you need to get together. Matter of fact, I know it ain't football time, but guess what? I'm giving her a brown bag for that one. She gets a brown bag for how she treats them down there. That's for me. But again, I like I said, I just wanted to dive on here real fast about that one. Because again, like I said, if anybody, anybody, anybody feel any different way about it. Hey, hey, it's going across the bottom screen. You can call me. You can call me, you can call me, especially on X, because I'm streaming across YouTube. Anyone that has any comments about it, call me. We can talk about it right now. I don't mind, and I got time. I got plenty of time. So I want to give you some time. If you call me, we can talk about it. I want to hear, I want to hear your opinions. Because, especially if you disagree with me, I definitely want to hear from you. Because again, it was insensitive. Y'all think it's insensitive because someone recorded it. No, it was insensitive how she was treating that staff, and they helped keep her safe. Her and her friend who she was with. They helped keep their self, they helped do everything to make sure that all those people on that resort were safe. So, to me, Jamaica did an outstanding job, and I appreciate Jamaica for what they did to protect those tourists that was down there. No matter where you were from, no matter what country you were from, they did everything in their power to make sure that the people on their resorts were safe. And that is my two cents on it. But uh nobody wants to call. I'm just saying, I hey, it's going across the screen. No, no one wants to call. I no, no, no one wants to debate me on this one. I mean, I especially the ones if you disagree with that. Anyone want to debate me on it? I uh I got time today. I got time, and well, what's normally happens? I'll probably get off the air. Then they want to debate me. No, we can do this on the air. Yeah, absolutely. We're praying for uh restoration of Jamaica. They got a long, long process that's going a long, a very long process. And again, like I said, when we go someplace, it's just like what Herb say, you know, that's why so many countries dislike us. Because some people go over there and they're entitled and they want to do anything. But for this one, we were spared because it wasn't an American. That lady was from Bermuda, so we're definitely spared from that, but still, don't go in these people's countries and treat them any kind of way. Because remember, they have different laws than what we have, too. So you think you think you can go talk slick out your mouth, try that in Dubai and see what happens. You just can't be talking slick out your mouth in some of these countries because they'd be like, Oh, yeah, yeah, we got a place where you so it's always treat people with respect. It was a disaster that happened to that island. A disaster and the devastation was sad. And again, they had no place to go. No place to run. They had to take it the full brunt of that storm because they had no place to run. Like we got here in America. They got a place to go. Like, oh storm coming this way, let me go that way. A lot of people don't have that luxury of leaving. A lot of people don't have the luxury of leaving. Oh, hold on. Hello. Hello. Anybody there?
SPEAKER_01:Yes, hello. Yes, come on.
SPEAKER_00:Come on.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, so um you mentioned a lot of great points about how Yes. Sorry, there's um a lag in the communication.
SPEAKER_00:That's fine, fine.
SPEAKER_01:Um, you mentioned a lot of great points about just like giving people respect and having empathy as well when you're going through a crisis, and I think we need to think about both things. So if you were also in that person's shoes and being at a state of distress, your behaviors might not be typical because you're going through trauma. One, I'm not saying that you're wrong, I'm just saying just think about this as well. And then I'm also thinking about what respect looks like, and respect looks differently based on the culture that you're coming from. Like you were saying, um, if Americans go to another country, they're definitely more strict on their responsiveness to disrespect um than we are in America. And in some ways, that is positive, in some ways it's negative, depending on who you are and what your cultural experiences are. So, what do you think about that? Do you see that side that it could possibly be someone going through trauma and their response might not be typical? Like, if you think about even your worst day that you have had, and if it was recorded, how would people even see you?
SPEAKER_00:I I I totally get what you're saying, and and I look at it like this. I say my opinion from what from I see it. And I just think it was appropriate. I understand the person may be in some distress. I understand that the person may be upset, but how can you expect the same treatment before storm and then after they're just going to be the same? What I give props to and it was Ryu, the resort where they were at is that they made sure that people were safe in shelters, and they even took precautions to box up lunches and and just try to make it as enjoyable as possible. So again, that's a tragedy. Devastation. It's it's it's nothing you can do about that. But they did everything possible to try to make a bad situation good situation good.
SPEAKER_01:And they should be commended for that.
SPEAKER_00:Yes, absolutely. Absolutely. Absolutely. Absolutely. So what I what I get is that don't argue with the staff when they when they protected you protected you in over 200 mile per hour winds mile per hour wins. You could not be here today. Be grateful for that. Be grateful for that. Don't worry about how much money you spend. Worry about you still have your life. And that's my point. That's my point. That's my point on it. That's my point on it. And for you to be from an island, to treat them like that. Treat them like that. What does that say about you? That's my two cents. That's my two cents.
SPEAKER_01:Thank you for bringing this topic to us.
SPEAKER_00:Listen, it weighed on me. It weighed on me. I couldn't wait to get home. I couldn't wait to get home. This one weighed on me, and I was watching videos, and I was reading comments. Disturbed me the most was off of X. What's off of X. And some of the people that were agreeing with her. Agreeing with her. They the ones that disturbed me the most. And they was like, I paid by money. I should have this level of service. We just got hit by a hurricane. A hurricane. A hurricane that hasn't been that strong in 90 years. 90 years. And you telling me you want the same level of service? Same level of service. What about the people that was there? That was there. What about the workers? The workers. They worried about their families too. I wouldn't, I would have left too to go be my family.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, um, I think about you know being a teacher and how we're required to still service our students, even if we have like our own kids in the building. I've been in a situation where there was a hurricane and we all had to go into the hallway, and we had some staff members who had children in the building, and it was a big debate afterwards because one of the staff members went to go be with their child, and you know, the discussion was well, she wasn't really supposed to do that, she was supposed to stay with the kids that she's legally in this space responsible for. So, you know, I I definitely think that we go through like some kind of cognitive dissonance sometimes where we have like conflicting beliefs and values, and you know, we have to make a choice when we are in traumatic situations like that. So it's definitely for me and my perspective, it's not um like a judgment because I don't know what I would do in this situation, you know, what would kick in with me in those types of situations that were similar to staying with your family to go. But I definitely think that she shouldn't have yelled at the people for what she spent her money on, but again, that could also be a trauma response. Like I can I can only control what I can control, and this feels controllable at this moment.
SPEAKER_00:And I and I understand that. I understand that. I get it, I get it. And and like you said, like you said, she that was all the motion. That was all that was all emotion. I don't really think she she thought it out. That was all emotional, and and simple fact that again, again, he was still still trying to save her safe, not leaving. Look, everything's cold. Look, everything's cold. Everything's cold, everything's cold. Most of the stuff is destroyed. They were still worried about worried about her safety. And I commend them for that.
SPEAKER_01:That's beautiful.
SPEAKER_00:And and the thing with the thing with this, is that if she probably probably would have took the time to just a couple breaths, a couple breaths and listen, it probably would have been a lot better. But she wasn't listening. It was like it was like my point, my point out, and my point is the only thing that matters.
SPEAKER_01:I wonder, I wonder what she would think if she watched herself. You think a lot there a lot differently. Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_00:And I'm pretty sure she would have seen that being that video. Because it circulated circulated all over the world. All over the world. So I'm pretty sure she's seen it. Maybe I can maybe I can handle that a lot better. But like I said, like I said, there was a lot of people in the comments that agreed agreed with her. I I was just I was just like, wow. It was like it was like enough money and this there was to have and and Yeah, again for a devastation devastation that came through that island. Again, none of the people had a place to go. They had to take it. They had to take it. They couldn't run. They couldn't flee. They couldn't flee it. The whole island. 90 years. Years. Last storm hit that island. Island like that. With that kind of devastation. 90 90 years. So so again, again, when we when we look back now, and I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to put it back at anything. But when we look back at it, like like you could have handled that better. And she puts now. Hey, I could have handled that. I could have handled that better. Or or she made me like been like I said it so what? I don't know. I don't know. But but when you do that, do that, you just label yourself. And trust me. And trust me. They're gonna find you. And they're gonna be like, hey, the person's the person. And that's where that's where all this stuff came out. And somebody somebody waited. Oh wait, wait, wait. She's not American. She's not American. She's from Bermuda Bermuda. And it's on her page. Her page. And they collapsed at that. So so again, again, you should just treat everybody with respect. With respect. No matter what the circumstances. Somebody gotta have a cooler hair. And she was with someone. And if that if that been me, I'm like, hey, I'm like, hey, come on, let's take a walk. Let's take a walk. Let's take a walk. Let's take a walk. Calm down. Because people did take care of care of us through this cat with this category five hurricane. Okay. Okay.
SPEAKER_01:Look yeah, that definitely would have been an example of um community and collective response if you had someone to de-escalate you.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, yeah. But God was standing there. He said he'd say anything. I would have put it away. Let's take a walk. Let's take a walk. Let's take a walk. Take a walk. Because again, again, somebody and you get them away from that. So you take off away situation, walk away, walk away. Hey, that's not the best question actually. I understand we pay we pay this money. But but just look around around. Look, look. Look at this devastation. Look at this devastation. They kept us kept us safe. Don't you think so now? I understand. Five star treatment. But they are doing something. Now, I see if they did anything. Anything, you gotta write a right to be upset. You gotta write to be upset. You got a right to be upset. But at least they call for caution. Hey, they boxed stuff and stuff. We're gonna try to help out help out people as much as possible. Because we don't know we don't know when help is when help is gonna come or how long this process is gonna be.
SPEAKER_01:Um that that scenario that you just reviewed about how you would provide support. Do you think that is a skill that you always had, or did you grow into that?
SPEAKER_00:I would say I grew into it. Because again, being human human, you know, we all we all get our ways and you just have to learn. So so when you learn it, learn it, you just you just keep it going. Keep it going. My thing of it is I can help the next person. I'm gonna help the next person. I'm gonna help the next person. You know, we should we should bickering fighting with each other. You know, we should try to try to help each other as much as possible. We got a new division in this country in this country already. We don't need we don't need any more. So again.
SPEAKER_01:Well, I'm I'm really glad that you took the time to think about how you would have provided support because now you know whoever is listening to this now has an example of what they could do, you know, if it is somebody that doesn't have that de-escalation skill and training, now they have it because of your show. So, you know, I appreciate your heart always and how you show up authentically to help other human beings.
SPEAKER_00:I try my best. We have to have to have a play out here, but we also have to have a voice, and I'll say we say this show is not my show, it's our show, it's our show, it's everyone's show. That's why that's why I say I'd love to love to hear from people. If something's going on, let's come let's come talk about it because we have to get messages out here, we have to get messages. Some people maybe going maybe going through something and you never even never even know it, but they hear you like you know, like you know something. He just gave me a better way, or somebody else. Somebody else may give you one a better way. I appreciate every last message every last person and come on here and listen to me. I send thank you. All the time because it's simple. Because it's simple that hey, you could be doing up to doing other stuff with your time, but you take but you take the time to be here with me, and I appreciate it. I appreciate it, and I appreciate every last every last one of you. All right, so so I appreciate you calling.
SPEAKER_01:All right, enjoy the rest of your day. Absolutely, absolutely YouTube.
SPEAKER_00:Bye. Oh man, anyone else? Anybody else want to come holler at me? Again, this I love the interactions, and again, I love I love when you come in because again, I love to hear your opinions, I love your questions, I love everything that we do with this show because again, we're getting messages out here, and you know, another thing I want to bring up besides that, and um I've been I've been harping on this for a minute, a minute, domestic violence, domestic violence, it has to stop, you know, and there are maybe a lot of people that's out here that's going through it that won't leave it, or don't just know how to leave it, because they're isolated away from their families, they're isolated away from friends, they're intimidated. And um, I was with someone today, and they shared a story with me about them, and it really broke my heart because of she said that she left this guy when her son was three months, because she said if she didn't, she probably wouldn't be seeing her son or raising her son, and how this guy is, how he was, what he did, and you know this this this vicious cycle has to stop. It does, and it's not just for men, it's women out here too. It abuse men, but the men are so proud of they don't want to say nothing. It has to stop on both sides because it's not right to put your hands on each other at all in any physical way to hurt them, to intimidate them, or whatever. The end story of that is that he's done this to four people, she was one of them. He done this to four people, and what she told me is that um now he's in jail for attempt murder. And when she told me this story, I said he's a monster. A monster. And you know, whatever he gets, he gets, he's a monster. You've done this to four people. Unacceptable. Unacceptable. It's a big, big problem, but nobody wants to talk about it. I do. I always want to talk about it because I'm gonna stand up against it. And again, it's both sides. Nobody should be putting their hands on each other. Nobody men are naturally stronger than women, but don't get me wrong, there's some women out here that'll wax you up now. It's crap. But what I'm saying is this no one should be intimidating anyone, no one should be putting their hands on anyone, and definitely no one should be pew pewing anybody at all. It's sad and needs to stop. And we gotta stand up against this. I think Maryland is the only state, maybe two, that doesn't have a domestic violence law. I think every other state in the United States has one, except Maryland. Why is that? I give on these lawmakers all the time. Y'all worry about all the wrong stuff. And then let's not talk about this shutdown. People out of work. They got one job to do up there. One job. And now these people are sitting home suffering. Now you're talking about trying to take food benefits from people. You have one job to do, but yeah, you're supposed to be for the people. You're supposed to be working for the people. Well, it don't seem like they're working for the people. I tell people all the time if you don't like who's in office, go change it. If you like what's going on, then you support it. Again, you see what's going on, you understand what's going on, make a change. Y'all stand up to a lot of stuff. Y'all need to stand up to this too. We all do. We all do. Yeah, domestic violence is also not just physical violence. No, it's mental too. You wait for me to run for office. Oh my goodness. Hey, listen, we all gotta stand up to it. Y'all will get out in these streets and march for different things. Why can't we march for that? Why can't we march for change? I'm saying you all have the power, and you you've seen it on different things that's happened. When Disney lost all that money, Jimmy Kimmel was back on the air, wasn't he? I'm just saying the power is in the people, and we need to stand up to it. But I'm gonna go ahead and sign off. I appreciate each and every last one of you, and nobody else. Hey, I've been looking for these people on X. Uh, y'all people on X don't want something to talk to me, huh? But I appreciate each and last, every last one of you. I appreciate you listening to me, I appreciate your comments, I appreciate you turning in every time that I come live. Again, this show doesn't happen without you all, and I appreciate that. I'm gonna sign off here, and then you know something? I'm gonna just relax for the rest of the night. Watch it a Saturday, go watch some Saturday football, and then we're getting ready for Sunday. We will see you on Tuesday for uh the football podcast. Me and TJ will be here. We'll be in full effect and um go Ravens. I got some Steelers fans that I just met down in Kentucky, and um uh they probably gonna get shellacked this weekend by the Colts. And I can't wait for it because I can't wait for Tuesday. I'll see you all later.
