And you know, 19 00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:58,880 Speaker 4: I'm biased. I've been comny since I was a kid, 20 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 4: so I'm very you know, emotionally connected to it. But 21 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 4: you know, Maui itself and what we're talking about is 22 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 4: specifically West Maui, which is where places is famously like 23 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:13,400 Speaker 4: Knapali or Kapalua, famous for sports play, you know, golf 24 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 4: tournaments in both of those locations. Sit on West Maui, 25 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 4: just outside of the town of Lehina, and it's it's 26 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 4: in modern day time, really the only the big logistical 27 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 4: center point of the town. 28 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 3: It's only thirteenth of the whole area. 29 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 4: It's only thirteen thousand people, but all the resorts, all 30 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,639 Speaker 4: the you know, any type of place here. It depends 31 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 4: on Lahina for not just groceries and banking and healthcare, 32 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:40,959 Speaker 4: but for labor. 33 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,119 Speaker 3: Like everybody who works here, all the locals, they live 34 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 3: in Lehina. It's where their home is. Well. More of 35 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 3: the history. 36 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 4: Man, it's like this was the Kingdom of Hawaii. There's 37 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 4: a reason it's right here, because it's beautifully nestled on 38 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 4: West Maui and that's calm part of the big Pacific 39 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 4: Ocean between Lenai and Molokai, and the winter the whales 40 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 4: come to have to sit here and then have their 41 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 4: babies in the spring. 42 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 3: It's just it's amazing, you know. 43 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 4: And then it becomes the center of our you know, 44 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 4: the plantation, pineapple plantation, sugarcane growth, Christian missionaries, the history 45 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 4: of Behinda is just dates back. 46 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 3: To the early eighteen hundreds, so. 47 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 4: You've got all this paradise and it's physically beautiful.

This more looks like I 59 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 4: guess the war zone is the is the comp the 60 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 4: comp which I've never been in a war zone, but 61 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 4: it's just everything is gray and reduced almost to the 62 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 4: to the ground, like to the foundation, cars bombed out, 63 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 4: burned out. You have to take a minute and know 64 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,959 Speaker 4: the geography really well to go oh oh yeah, yeah, 65 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 4: that's where that was that restaurant or that church or 66 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 4: that whatever, and so it's in a way just just 67 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 4: gone just gray black nothingness. 68 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 5: Will it's buck you know, thank you for joining us 69 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 5: today and telling everybody about what's going on out there. 70 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 5: Obviously there's a need to give support, thoughts, prayers, but 71 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:23,920 Speaker 5: also support. 72 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 6: I know you've been raising money, You've done. 73 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 5: A remarkable job so far to try to help with 74 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 5: the relief efforts there.

I 80 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 4: have a lot of friends who live here year round, 81 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 4: and a lot of. 82 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 3: People will hear that day. Here's the story of how 83 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 3: that day goes. There was really really high winds. 84 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 4: And people saying that that's because of Hurricane Dora, which 85 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 4: was several hundred miles off coast. Both the winds were 86 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 4: ridiculous that day, so much so that you know, people 87 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 4: weren't going out. It wasn't comfortable to be outside. 88 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 3: You felt like your body. 89 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 4: Would get pushed around sixty five mile in our wind 90 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 4: type thing, some reports of up to eighty mile in 91 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,359 Speaker 4: our winds. Then it knocks out the power early in 92 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 4: the morning. My mom and everybody said yeah, you woke 93 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 4: up that day, you didn't have power, and then it 94 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,840 Speaker 4: was several hours into today, then you didn't have sale service, 95 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 4: and then there are reports that were there we were 96 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 4: it was a fire early in the morning on the hillside. 97 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 4: Back to a little bit of history on this. So 98 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 4: the hillside when I grew up was full of pineapples 99 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,160 Speaker 4: and sugarcane. And it's interesting to think about why this 100 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,039 Speaker 4: went away, But I think NAPFT does a real big 101 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,279 Speaker 4: part of it. There are government regulations that played a 102 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 4: role that all went away. So that whole thing, like 103 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 4: when you get a pineapple unless it says like Maui 104 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 4: gold or something, that's all Costa Rica Central America Now, 105 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 4: so those hillsides that used to be agriculture are now 106 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 4: just dry grasses, most of them non native. And you've 107 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,839 Speaker 4: got these power lines and look, Hawaii has never been 108 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,479 Speaker 4: a beautiful example of government competency. It's never been like, oh, 109 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 4: look how perfectly they logistically planned everything. 110 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,480 Speaker 3: So now you got these detim on our winds blowing 111 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 3: power lines down. 112 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 4: This is what most people suspect is the issue. And 113 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 4: you have the firefighters put out a fire that day, 114 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 4: but later in the day a fire crops up about 115 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 4: four to forty five most things from a down to 116 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 4: power line or a hotspot off from the down power 117 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 4: line earlier in the day, and that fire I know, 118 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,280 Speaker 4: I've seen this timeline rip through the Lina I think 119 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 4: buck in like forty five minutes. And so the mass 120 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:45,600 Speaker 4: chaos that it costs government officials to tabout governsment no sirens. 121 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 4: Now you can say, was there time, did it knock 122 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 4: out the ability to do a siren? 123 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:51,279 Speaker 3: I don't know, just know this. 124 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 4: They test the siren every month and then when it 125 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 4: came in real time, no sirens. So people are caught 126 00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,039 Speaker 4: fire to the left, fire to the right, fire up 127 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,799 Speaker 4: to the up upside of the hill. They're running down. 128 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 4: They're driving down into a traffic jam on famously Front Street, 129 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 4: which runs along the ocean. Next thing you know, there's 130 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 4: nowhere to go. So a lot of people died in 131 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,119 Speaker 4: their car or they jumped over the sea wall into 132 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 4: the ocean. And we do not know how many people 133 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 4: died and are drowned in the ocean. 134 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 3: We have two problems. Bodies in the ocean that can't. 135 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 4: Be found, bodies in town charged beyond all recognition, perhaps 136 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,720 Speaker 4: beyond all identification, perhaps beyond even knowing that they were 137 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:32,280 Speaker 4: ever there, like the hot burning metal type heat, so 138 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,839 Speaker 4: a human body doesn't take much to disappear real quick. 139 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:40,279 Speaker 4: Buck on the whole government thing. It's wild how informationally 140 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:41,280 Speaker 4: deprived this place is. 141 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 3: Because self service is real. 142 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 4: Spotty power was out for several days, but the government 143 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 4: isn't letting people in, and specifically not letting median. You 144 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:49,720 Speaker 4: have to get through a checkpoint to get where I am. 145 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 4: The only reason we got through is because you know, 146 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 4: I had proof that owned property over here. But even 147 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 4: since I've been here, like they tried. The mayor of 148 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 4: Maui's office told me, tried to kick us out of 149 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 4: a place. This is a media free zone. Oh no, 150 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 4: it's not a media free zone. It's the United States 151 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 4: of America. So my point I'm telling you that is 152 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 4: if you are deprived of that resource information a in 153 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 4: this area, there's a lot of confusion, a lot of rumor, 154 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 4: and people fill gaps of information with some Look, I 155 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 4: don't throw the word conspiracy around lightly anymore because I 156 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 4: think there's nobody. 157 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 3: On a hotter run in America than conspiracy theorists. 158 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,239 Speaker 4: But there's some ridiculous stuff that's being spread around about 159 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 4: the way this thing started, And I'm just telling you 160 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 4: that's what happens when you suppress free speech, people will 161 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 4: fill the void with whatever speech they want besides the truth. 162 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 1: We're talking to Will Kine. He's in Maui. 163 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 2: He's reporting with us on the devastating wildfire that swept 164 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 2: through and has killed over one hundred people as we 165 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 2: await potentially far more deaths to be tallied. And that 166 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 2: may be very difficult, that you just heard Will said, 167 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 2: because of even identifying bodies and finding them. 168 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 1: How can people help? 169 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 5: I know this is up at Clay and Buck, but 170 00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 5: you have raised over a million dollars, So I want 171 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 5: to make make sure that we're talking about the positive here. 172 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 5: And you mentioned you were answering bucks question about the government. 173 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 5: How would you say, based on your on the ground view, 174 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 5: the federal government is doing handling and responding to this, 175 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 5: in addition to whatever resources the state government of Hawaii 176 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 5: might be bringing to bear. 177 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 3: So here's what i'd said to that, Clay. 178 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 4: I want to be I really truly want to be 179 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 4: as fair as possible, and I start with recognizing how 180 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 4: difficult this is logistically. 181 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 3: In every way candleist. 182 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 4: But that's kind of why we pay massive amounts in taxes. 183 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,479 Speaker 3: Right to do what's difficult. 184 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 4: Somebody told me to day, like Mali County has a 185 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:41,599 Speaker 4: budget of one point two billion for one hundred and 186 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 4: fifty thousand people. Where's the money going? You know, not 187 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 4: to mention what you're talking about, Clay. How much do 188 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 4: we pay in federal taxes? What's that budget look like? 189 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,719 Speaker 4: How much are we sending to Ukraine? You know, do 190 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 4: we even know the answer that question? It's over one 191 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,440 Speaker 4: hundred billion. And Biden first gives me a no comment, 192 00:08:58,559 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 4: and then we. 193 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,200 Speaker 3: Hear seven hundred dollars per household for Lahina. 194 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 4: I'm sorry, that's just not going to get it done. 195 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 4: And so in the gap, by the way of this 196 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 4: role of the federal government, you've seen something that is 197 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,560 Speaker 4: absolutely inspiring. It's unavoidable when you're over here, you will 198 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 4: it's unavoidable that you're going to run into the story 199 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 4: of private citizenry and community helping each other. I've been 200 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 4: doing this on my social media, you know, tell them stories. 201 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,200 Speaker 4: Buddy of mine, Sans Dyer owns a big catamaran that 202 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 4: does snorkel whale watching sunset cruises, Nope. The past week 203 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 4: he's done supply runs the other side of the island 204 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 4: to get people out of this area and bring necessities back. 205 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,080 Speaker 4: I met two twenty nine year old girls, five kids 206 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 4: between them. One of them has a seven month old. 207 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 4: Twenty nine year olds they're running the biggest private citizen 208 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 4: airlift I've ever seen. They're running planes a dozen a day, 209 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 4: planes and helicopters from one side of the island to 210 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 4: the other, bringing stuff in and dropping it off at 211 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:55,440 Speaker 4: a distribution point where I'm looking then at retired firefighters 212 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 4: handing this stuff out to people all up and down 213 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:02,079 Speaker 4: the West coast. People are doing in community running boats 214 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,960 Speaker 4: from one island to another. From Molokai, I can looking 215 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:06,960 Speaker 4: at Molokai right now. They're running boats over here to 216 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 4: drop it off in their communities for people to have. 217 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 4: We're amazing, Like people are amazing. Americans are amazing. And 218 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 4: my personal testament to that clave so many people that 219 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 4: I have grown up with here in the summers in 220 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 4: Hawaii families. We came together really quick. I mean you 221 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 4: can't sit back, it's just really quick. We put they 222 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 4: put a gofund me together. I rallied behind it with them. 223 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,079 Speaker 4: We made it promise to each other to ensure this 224 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 4: money will go to people we know, local people. And 225 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 4: when I say local, I don't just mean this, but 226 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,679 Speaker 4: I mean in part, Hawaii is not Hawaii without Hawaiians. 227 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:38,719 Speaker 3: And there is a lot in Hawaii about. 228 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 4: You know, there's race issues, ethnic issues, but the truth 229 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,560 Speaker 4: is everybody needs each other. It's like a huge melting 230 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 4: pot of everybody's story of how they become an American Hawaiian. 231 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 4: And you got to have these people back in these 232 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,680 Speaker 4: homes in Lahina, these homes that go over one hundred 233 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,720 Speaker 4: and two hundred years. It can't be Disneyland, you know, 234 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 4: it can't be like it was built yesterday and it's beautiful, 235 00:10:58,200 --> 00:10:59,959 Speaker 4: it's a resort like that can't be the story of 236 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 4: how this comes back. So last I looked the men 237 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 4: to go it's it's up to one point five million dollars. 238 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 4: It's go fundme help the people of Maui, where you 239 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 4: can go to Helpmaui noow dot com. And yeah, you know, 240 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 4: I don't think it's gonna happen because I don't know 241 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 4: what is it. I don't know how many households we're 242 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,319 Speaker 4: in Loina.

So far 246 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 4: Biden is pledged to the people of Lahina. 247 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:29,680 Speaker 3: I don't know. Maybe we can beat Biden. 248 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 6: I think so. I certainly hope so. 249 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,079 Speaker 5: And you see, will Biden initially said no comment that 250 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 5: he gave his speech yesterday.

I think that's one thing we might have 359 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 5: some firefighters, you know, wildfire firefighters listening. My understanding is 360 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 5: sometimes clay, if the wind gets high, fires can move 361 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 5: much faster than people realize, and the speed of a 362 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 5: blaze can be part of what makes it so a 363 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 5: big part of what makes it so lethal. 364 00:16:57,800 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, and there aren't very many roads in this area 365 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 2: that Will Kane is in and reporting from where the 366 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:08,639 Speaker 2: wildfire was.

But 412 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 2: Biden created this story. But you just heard from Will 413 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,199 Speaker 2: himself that there doesn't appear to be much of a 414 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:56,399 Speaker 2: federal response to help in what is the deadliest wildfire 415 00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,960 Speaker 2: I believe in over one hundred years in the United States. 416 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 2: Over one hundred people that we know I f have 417 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 2: died now. And this is a relatively small area speaking, 418 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 2: you know, we'll mentioned the idea of a for instance, 419 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 2: a tornado, which can have a issue that it impacts 420 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:18,879 Speaker 2: people for dozens, you know, one hundred miles where tornadoes 421 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,920 Speaker 2: touched down a variety of different places, and that cleanup 422 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 2: can be incredibly difficult. We've had it happen unfortunately far 423 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:28,919 Speaker 2: too often of late, in my hometown of Nashville. But 424 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 2: you mentioned, I mean, there's a lot of federal resources 425 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 2: in Hawaii already. The fact that the US government, in 426 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 2: conjunction with the Hawaiian government wouldn't be after a week 427 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 2: taking care of everything there is really unacceptable. 428 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 5: It's a state, right, well, now, you know this isn't 429 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 5: some island in the South Pacific that we're trying to 430 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 5: just get aid to. This is one of our fifty states. 431 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 5: We have massive naval and military presence on the on 432 00:20:58,040 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 5: the big on the Big Island, not the Big Islands. 433 00:20:59,920 --> 00:21:02,920 Speaker 5: So sorry, that's why island on you know, in Honolulu basically, 434 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,919 Speaker 5: so I was Owahu is that right? I know my 435 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 5: Hawaiian islands. 436 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 2: Well, I don't know Hawaiian islands well, but. 437 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 5: But the point point being, it's not that far from 438 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 5: where you have a whole lot you have. These are 439 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,159 Speaker 5: US citizens in a US state. You would think that 440 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 5: the response could be quite rapid considering the condensed area 441 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 5: that was so affected by this. So I think they're 442 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 5: legitly here. We actually have. There was a question that 443 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:34,160 Speaker 5: was posed about this to the administration. To the administration. 444 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:42,399 Speaker 5: This is uh FEMA administrator Dianne chris Well responding to people, Clay, 445 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,639 Speaker 5: So this is the FEMA administrator responding to people saying, 446 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:46,200 Speaker 5: where are you guys? 447 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:47,400 Speaker 6: Plate twenty three. 448 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,959 Speaker 8: I heard everything you said about all the resources that 449 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:54,639 Speaker 8: are being brought to there, But we keep interviewing survivor 450 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 8: after survivor who says that either they didn't see any 451 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 8: government personnel resistance for days or that they still have it. 452 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:07,159 Speaker 8: How do you explain the disconnect between what they're saying 453 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 8: and what you're saying about all of the resources that 454 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:10,440 Speaker 8: are there now. 455 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 9: I think you need to understand that this community is 456 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 9: going through an amazingly traumatic event. I can tell you 457 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,440 Speaker 9: that we have personnel that are on the ground year 458 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,440 Speaker 9: round and embedded in with the states as soon as 459 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 9: the fire started, so we could continue to understand what 460 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 9: resources were needed and help move them in. 461 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:33,120 Speaker 5: Can I just say that was not confidence inspiring at all. 462 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 5: That was the most worthless bureaucratees I think we could 463 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 5: have heard in response to that question, which is, we 464 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:41,360 Speaker 5: have people their year round. 465 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 1: Okay, what are they doing? What are they doing? 466 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,920 Speaker 2: Joe Biden is supposedly going to go now on Monday, Buck, 467 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 2: But this comes on the heels of Biden being asked 468 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:54,640 Speaker 2: about this while he was on vacation. I believe Joe 469 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:59,200 Speaker 2: Biden's on vacation again. He spent a higher percentage of 470 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 2: his days of presidency on vacation than I think anyone 471 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 2: in modern history has. 472 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,680 Speaker 1: He just got back from a Rehoboth Beach vacation. 473 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,120 Speaker 2: I think he happens to be on vacation now, if 474 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 2: I'm not mistaken, in California, at another wealthy donors home. 475 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 2: And so maybe that's why he's finally gonna fly over 476 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,919 Speaker 2: there Monday. But when he couldn't, when he no commented 477 00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:25,719 Speaker 2: in response to the issue that was going on at Hawaii, 478 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:29,120 Speaker 2: it just kind of set the precedent in place and 479 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 2: the perspective in place of this is something that we 480 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,200 Speaker 2: just don't care about, whether that's fair or not. Based 481 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,960 Speaker 2: on the amount of federal response we've seen over a 482 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,200 Speaker 2: week this doesn't seem like it would be hard. Buck, 483 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,639 Speaker 2: to your point, this is over a week now, and 484 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 2: I think to a large extent, because Hawaii is so 485 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 2: far removed, I don't know that this has gotten the 486 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:56,439 Speaker 2: attention that it deserves in general. But this is an 487 00:23:56,560 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 2: unprecedented natural disaster. I can't remember. I mean, you remember 488 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,359 Speaker 2: something like this, Buck, but I can't remember families being 489 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:08,160 Speaker 2: forced to run into the ocean and duck underwater because 490 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:09,240 Speaker 2: of the embers. 491 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 1: And if you've seen the cars, people. 492 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:16,920 Speaker 2: Got caught and had no awareness of how rapidly this 493 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 2: wildfire was spreading. 494 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 1: I mean the entire street. 495 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:22,919 Speaker 2: There's only a couple of ways to get in and 496 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:28,919 Speaker 2: out of this community, and they got absolutely swarmed by fires. 497 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 2: Many people had no clue they were in danger, and 498 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,200 Speaker 2: the next moment the fires were upon them. 499 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:35,680 Speaker 1: That's how quickly it moved. 500 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:40,040 Speaker 2: And the warning system, it seems there was no warning 501 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,640 Speaker 2: system to let people know that this might occur. Will referenced, 502 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:45,439 Speaker 2: and there's a big article I was reading this morning. 503 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 2: It appears at least that this ground zero of the 504 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:53,239 Speaker 2: fire was started in the morning and they brought the 505 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,000 Speaker 2: fire department out, they put it out, but then the 506 00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:00,200 Speaker 2: winds were so significant that it wept and swept back 507 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,800 Speaker 2: up the fire the embers and started it anew And 508 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,160 Speaker 2: then the thing moves so quickly they couldn't put it out. 509 00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 2: And it's now killed over one hundred people. And the 510 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,720 Speaker 2: scary thing that Will said Buck is the heat was 511 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 2: burning so intensely that they're not even sure they're going 512 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,879 Speaker 2: to be able to recover remains of many of the 513 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,199 Speaker 2: people that were caught in this wildfire. 514 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:25,760 Speaker 5: The resources that I was speaking about, I just looked 515 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:30,400 Speaker 5: this up. They've got over four hundred US military personnel 516 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 5: who have been deployed to Maui and they are deployed 517 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 5: from Oahu and they have a total just to give 518 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 5: a sense when I said a concentration of military resource, 519 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 5: I think they have almost forty to forty two thousand 520 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 5: plus active duty military on the island of Oahu's. I 521 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:56,199 Speaker 5: mean that's a substantial presence there. It's because of the 522 00:25:56,240 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 5: strategic importance of having a mass, major naval. 523 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 6: Base in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. So there 524 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:02,680 Speaker 6: are resources. 525 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 5: The point is this is this is not like trying 526 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 5: to get help to Antarctica or something. I mean, there 527 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:11,159 Speaker 5: are resources that are right there. So the speed of 528 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 5: the response I think is something that look, let's Clay, 529 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,440 Speaker 5: I think if you had a Republican administration, there'd be 530 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 5: a very different tone in the. 531 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:20,400 Speaker 6: Media right now. 532 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:24,120 Speaker 5: I remember when UH and we went to Fort Myers 533 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 5: afterwards to visit with with our people out there. The 534 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:31,159 Speaker 5: year after that, that hurricane came through. Remember Ron DeSantis, 535 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 5: UH did such a good job with response to that 536 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 5: that they couldn't really attack him. They they sort of tried, 537 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:41,720 Speaker 5: and then it just didn't. It didn't work because the 538 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 5: bridge was fixed in a matter of you know, bridges 539 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:45,120 Speaker 5: were fixed in a matter of days. 540 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:46,800 Speaker 6: And and and. 541 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:48,879 Speaker 5: That, you know, was I think a part in his 542 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:54,119 Speaker 5: massive reelection when in Florida. I think that if it 543 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 5: wasn't Joe Biden, if this were not even just Donald Trump, 544 00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,679 Speaker 5: but this were George Bush or a President Romney that 545 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 5: never had happened, or you name it, the drum beat 546 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 5: of what's going on? Why is it so slow would 547 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:05,679 Speaker 5: be a lot louder. 548 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:10,159 Speaker 2: And I also think, I mean to Will's point earlier, 549 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 2: I think the fact that they've kept media out of 550 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,800 Speaker 2: this community by and large, it's been very difficult to 551 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 2: tell stories. That has helped to not put this on 552 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 2: the front edge of attention. And I lived on an 553 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,800 Speaker 2: island opposite direction, but I lived in the US Virgin Islands. 554 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:30,520 Speaker 2: I'm still a licensed attorney there, and I remember and 555 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,679 Speaker 2: certainly we've seen because the US Virgin Islands are not 556 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:37,639 Speaker 2: a state, but when storms sweep through there, if it 557 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 2: doesn't happen to the continental United States, a lot of times, 558 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,359 Speaker 2: the continental United States media just doesn't pay a lot 559 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:47,639 Speaker 2: of attention to it. And so I think certainly this 560 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 2: story has not only not motivated maybe the response it 561 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 2: should have from our federal government, I think a lot 562 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,480 Speaker 2: of media have been caught unawares in what exactly went 563 00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 2: on there too, just because there aren't as many eyes 564 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:01,639 Speaker 2: on the ground. And that's why I think it was 565 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:04,879 Speaker 2: important for us to put on Will and have him 566 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:08,439 Speaker 2: describe exactly what he's seeing there. And then also to 567 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:12,080 Speaker 2: allow you guys the opportunity to be able to donate 568 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 2: and help people, since the federal government doesn't seem to 569 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:18,400 Speaker 2: be lifting very much in the means of help right now. 570 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,960 Speaker 5: And also, you know, whenever something like this happens, particularly 571 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:28,399 Speaker 5: with any of the fires, the reflexive response from people 572 00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 5: to start shouting about how it's always climate change. This 573 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:35,880 Speaker 5: is a mental illness, like people really need to get 574 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,160 Speaker 5: a grip, you know. It looks like these were down 575 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 5: power lines, right, that's what they believe. That these were 576 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 5: a power line issue that caused the fire. That's not 577 00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 5: a climate change issue. And whether it's this or the 578 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:47,280 Speaker 5: fires that have been up in Canada or the fires 579 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:51,480 Speaker 5: that have hit California, the leap to politicize. 580 00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,720 Speaker 6: This so recklessly right away is. 581 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 5: It's honestly, it's just kind of jaw dropping, you know, 582 00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,160 Speaker 5: instead of just focusing on how to help people. It's 583 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,440 Speaker 5: also interesting what Will said that these when he was 584 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 5: a kid were primarily plantations for pineapple farms, and now 585 00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:10,960 Speaker 5: they didn't have I think the issue that Hawaii had 586 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,880 Speaker 5: with the pineapples was it was expensive to ship, and 587 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:17,240 Speaker 5: also they didn't have the same amount of raw acreage 588 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:20,800 Speaker 5: as some places in Central America, and so as a result, 589 00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 5: that's mostly been abandoned area and non native grass has 590 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 5: taken up there. I imagine there will be a deep 591 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,320 Speaker 5: dive into the cause of this going forward. But again, 592 00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 5: based on the reports I've seen, it all came from 593 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 5: down power lines, and not even the initial downpower line fires, 594 00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:42,440 Speaker 5: but with the wind circulating so rapidly bringing back those 595 00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 5: power line fires. 596 00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:47,480 Speaker 2: We'll talk about this.

There was a 697 00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:54,200 Speaker 5: lot of like thank you, and I would away say 698 00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:55,719 Speaker 5: because they would say thank for your service. 699 00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:57,440 Speaker 6: And like it was not military. I was a CIA analyst. 700 00:34:57,560 --> 00:34:59,319 Speaker 5: Like I appreciate the thought, but you know it's not 701 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,120 Speaker 5: I did not serve in uniform. 702 00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:05,880 Speaker 6: But in recent years it's more like what were you 703 00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:07,440 Speaker 6: doing over at the CIA there, buddy? 704 00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:10,120 Speaker 5: It like it was a long time ago. We were 705 00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:13,520 Speaker 5: looking for bid Laden. I was in a counter terrorism unit. 706 00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:17,160 Speaker 5: These are very bad people. So, you know, things things 707 00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:21,120 Speaker 5: could shift a little bit. The CIA is getting a 708 00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:22,680 Speaker 5: little bit more heat. I don't know how the FBI 709 00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:27,360 Speaker 5: folks listening to this field too, but you know, FBI still, 710 00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:29,879 Speaker 5: I think I think most people realize that the rank 711 00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:32,080 Speaker 5: and file are actually doing really important work. I mean, 712 00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:34,799 Speaker 5: you realize how important the FBI is when you see 713 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:38,600 Speaker 5: somebody who well there's a million different reasons, but you know, 714 00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:41,080 Speaker 5: especially these days, I feel like there's all these there's 715 00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:44,120 Speaker 5: a lot of scams that are targeting the elderly. It's 716 00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:48,600 Speaker 5: so rampant, these online scams, and that's an FBI thing, right, 717 00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:50,640 Speaker 5: you know, if someone's trying to steal your life savings 718 00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:52,960 Speaker 5: from you. So they do things like that and I'm 719 00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:55,920 Speaker 5: like great, And they do things like the FISA Trump 720 00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:57,120 Speaker 5: campaign stuff and I'm. 721 00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,520 Speaker 6: Like, oh gosh, that is bad. 722 00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,880 Speaker 5: Can't do that. So depends go after the actual criminals. 723 00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,239 Speaker 5: Nobody buck. In case you were wondering, ever, thank me 724 00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,880 Speaker 5: for talking about sports. So this is a new Experiens 725 00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:11,279 Speaker 5: are like, hey, thank god you told me who you 726 00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:13,520 Speaker 5: thought was going to win the Super Bowl. Sometimes we 727 00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:14,879 Speaker 5: had good gambling picks and we get. 728 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:15,680 Speaker 1: On a little bit of mo again. 729 00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:19,080 Speaker 5: But today, didn't like a large male just win a 730 00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:20,560 Speaker 5: big powerlifting competition. 731 00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:21,520 Speaker 6: Didn't that just happen? 732 00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,920 Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, man won a women's powerlifting competition in 733 00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:26,600 Speaker 5: Canada to set an all time record. 734 00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:28,760 Speaker 1: Another proud moment for women's sports. 735 00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:32,359 Speaker 5: But that is something that I think is just perfectly 736 00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:38,440 Speaker 5: perfectly embodies and epitomizes the ridiculousness of what's going on 737 00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:38,959 Speaker 5: right now. 738 00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:39,719 Speaker 1: All they have to do. 739 00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,360 Speaker 5: If powerlifting was a sport where you could make millions 740 00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:45,919 Speaker 5: of dollars, you would see you would see the top 741 00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:48,280 Speaker 5: ten powerlifters of the United States in the women's division, 742 00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:51,279 Speaker 5: all be men. Really quickly would happened very fast. Enis 743 00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:53,680 Speaker 5: Canter came out recently. He's former NBA player. I think 744 00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:55,520 Speaker 5: we've had him on the show if I'm not mistaken, 745 00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:58,080 Speaker 5: and said, hey, I'm thinking about identifying as a woman 746 00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:00,799 Speaker 5: and becoming the greatest WNBA player of all time. I mean, 747 00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,759 Speaker 5: that's really, honestly what needs to happen. He said he 748 00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:06,879 Speaker 5: would score sixty points a game. Yes, I think higher 749 00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:11,240 Speaker 5: than that. Actually, I think he might get the triple digits. 750 00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:12,640 Speaker 1: No doubt. Appreciate y'all. See tonight in Brandon 751 00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:19,320 Speaker 7: Clay, Travis, and Buck Sexton on the front lines of truth.
