Yeah, we're doing a fight companion Saturday. Yeah, fight campaigns fun It is have a little whiskey watch the fights talk. Oh shit Eddie Bravo brings up some crazy every time this time Eddie's out so Sam tripply's in He's even more deep into the world of conspiracy and he's hilarious fun
Conspiracy theory is the code name for spoiler alert. Well, it was invented. The term conspiracy theory was invented after they conspired to kill the president. That's when conspiracy theory, the term conspiracy theory started getting thrown around right around the time that Kennedy got assassinated.
And it was directly because there were so many people that had all these theories. There was all these stories, stories about the shots from the grassy knoll. And until Dick Gregory went on the Geraldo Rivera Show, which I think was 11 years later,
What year was it that Dick Gregory went on Geraldo Rivera and showed the Zapruder footage? Many years later. At least eight years later. After the assassination. The Zapruder film came late. But there was a different assassination attempt. Oh, it was another assassination attempt. Garfield. Interesting. Interesting. We think 1881.
Interesting. Okay, conspiracy, theorist. Interesting. When did the Zapruder film come out? So they had the Zapruder films. I think his name was Abraham Zapruder. He was at the scene, and he was filming the president as he was driving down. And as he was driving down, he caught the shots. He caught the shot to the neck, and he holds his neck, and then he sees the head go back and to the left.
So 1975, okay, think about that. The assassination was 63.
So 75. What was in 63? What was in 63? 63 Kennedy was his house. That's what I'm seeing. Yeah. Like this was a murder film released by Dick Greger, who is a stand up comedian. Wow. Dick Greger brought it to the Geraldo Rivera Show with this other gentleman. And then they played it for America. And the whole country got to see Kennedy's head go back into the left and the spray of blood. And everybody's like,
way. What happened? What happened? Did they ever say why it took so long? Because it's fake. No, because it was something's going on. No, no, no. It was owned by life. So I believe what happened was the preuter sold it to life. Life had it and they wouldn't release it. So they either they thought it was too disturbing or maybe they were told not to. We
We also have to remember that back then there's no VCRs. It's very hard to watch something like this. You'd have to have one of those real-to-real cameras that you could set up and watch me. Nobody watched films at home. You'd watch what was on television.
So when they played that, this was monumental. And then you had to be there to see it. You couldn't just pause it. You couldn't rewind it. There was none of that. There's no DVR. And you couldn't tell your friends on social media. You had to like go to work the next day and go, did you see that whole world were virtual? But just by the way, I think it was on late at night too.
Good morning or good night. I think it's a little in America. Yeah. Yeah, good night. I think it was a late night show and so blue her all do up
No, he was already doing well. He was already an established journalist, which is why he was a host of that show. And I think it was a, I think it was a late at night. So fucking nobody was watching. You know, like a small amount of people watching. And then, you know, they play this, they see it once, they go, what the fuck did I just see? And then it takes forever for books to come out. Sure. And now we got Tucker Carlson on Fox News saying the CIA killed Kennedy. And you're like, what did he just say?
What? Did he just say that on TV? Like, what? Yeah. Yeah. Imagine how long it took for somebody to find out who the president was before the telegraph type two. Oh, yeah. Two years. Now, imagine those elections. Oh, my God. Right. The checks and balances. Right. Right. Right. When Washington. Make sure you wonder. Imagine if the Washington stole the election.
It's funny, right? It is funny. It is funny. What if we found out Lincoln was a Tommy Ross in, right? They all stole the election, like, what?
had people assassinated the vote incorrectly. It's amazing. But Lincoln ran and lost like five times or something, right, before he won. I don't remember if it was for president or when he ran for a different office. Back then they would stand in front of the whole town, like on a literal soapbox, and talk for hours, hours and hours in front of everybody, explaining what they were going to do. Yeah, amazing.
So you got to imagine that when this Pruder film came out, that was a moment where like, you got to also realize this is like during the time of the Vietnam War. So there's already massive distrust in government. And people are like, well, you know, what happened exactly? Then the book start coming out. You know, books start coming out like Best Evidence by David Lifton. 12 years later. Yeah, 12 years. But the CIA saw it.
I'm sure. It wasn't. They were there. It wasn't until Dick Gregory. A stand of comedian brings it to the Geraldo Rivera Show. Incredible. Yeah. That's amazing. Yeah. It's incredible. I thought it was two years that came out two years late, but while 12 years. 12 years. And also 75. So just imagine something that happened 12 years ago for us. Like, what? 2011? Which, by the way, that sounds crazy.
That is crazy. I know. What the fuck is happening? Time is flying. Too fast. And what a world we live in now, where even if the government tried to withhold information or tries to, as they do, with social media and all these different platforms, it's very, very hard.
It's very, very hard. So they try to push a narrative and then different people have questions. And it creates this environment where if the truth is not being told, people can pick up on it. Yeah. The new mayor in Maui.
because I was surprised he got in because Victorina was so loyal, kept the pandemic on. He even did that where you got to reset your vaccination status or whatever. But when I saw Bisson and he's so smart, I mean, they're talking, they're like, what about social media? He just being a judge writer, he just looks over and says, I don't got time for that stuff. And looks for, you know, just the really smart speakers and
They know what they're doing out there, right? The people in office, you know? Well, I mean, Tulsa can speak to that better than anybody. I don't know, Mayor Biss. I may have met him in passing, but this has been one of the big failures around the aftermath of the wildfire on Maui is this total vacuum of information from government officials to the people.
And in that vacuum, obviously people have all kinds of ideas or theories or this or that, but people were left without any kind of communication from anyone in a position of authority to provide help for days and weeks. And it created massive problems. And so, you know,
The immediate line of response needed to come from the county and from the mayor and from their emergency response director and unfortunately they did not communicate. They're still not communicating. There's still a huge lack of transparency and therefore an increasing level of distrust.
in any of the levels of government that should be bending over backward to answer questions and to say, hey, here's what's going on every single day. Here's what we're doing. Here's what we're trying to do. Here's what we're having a hard time doing. Whatever the case may be, it's been a major problem from the beginning. Do you think that this is a complete lack, because of a complete lack of preparedness, that this is an unprecedented type of disaster. It never happened before.
It happens and they just weren't prepared. They don't know what to do and they just it's incompetence. I think that that is very true and there's you know in hindsight there are things going back as you know Maui has experienced drought year after year after year. Brush fires are a common occurrence especially on the west side of Maui where Lahaina is the side of the island that was most most impacted by this.
It is being prepared for wildfires on Maui is something that if you look at their emergency assessment documents, it's mentioned almost as a bit of an afterthought. Maui fire has been vastly under manned and under resourced for quite some time. There's all these different things you can look at from a preparedness level that should have been addressed long before.
But from the county officials, yes, they were completely overwhelmed and unprepared for this unprecedented wildfire. It's the worst wildfire our country has seen in over 100 years.
But the problem is once you get to that point like, oh shit, this is really, really, really bad. Not only in the hundreds of lives lost in that fire, but the surrounding communities of people who survived, but who went without power, who went without any cell phone signal, any ability to communicate with people, who didn't have, you know, all of the gas stations in their neighborhood,
They were empty. There was no way to get gas. They couldn't get food. They couldn't get clean water. The water supply systems were contaminated. I mean, all of there was disaster upon disaster that came in the aftermath of the fire that went unaddressed. And my biggest, I went there a few days after the fire happened. Maui was my district for eight years when I served in Congress and had a lot of friends there and went out to those affected
Communities and what I heard over and over again was no one from the county, the state or the federal government has shown their face in our community. It is neighbors helping neighbors, families helping families, people on the island of Molokai, which you know, they don't have much.
on their island. Everything comes in by barge. They're loading up whatever they have in their general store on these little boats and running them over to West Maui on a private boat dock because that was the only place that they wouldn't be blocked from bringing food and water and medical supplies.
Now, why are people being blocked? I keep hearing that about people being blocked. Is it because they haven't gotten an accurate death count? Is because they have to make an assessment of how much was damaged and it's so massive, it's so vast that they haven't been able to do that yet? Like, why is it being blocked? Things are being opened up now. I think people are able to get in and out of the West Maui area. I understand that the historic town of Lahaina is still being blocked off and they're working on reopening it.
as we speak, but in the, in the couple of weeks after the fire, I don't have a good answer. Why they continue to block the roads, again, to those surrounding communities, why they had, why they blocked people like Kai Lenny and others from using their jet skis and boats to try to bring supplies in through the water.
You could say, well, we were trying to secure the area, but you're blocking. You're blocking friends and family from coming in and bringing necessary supplies, literally doing supply runs. So I jumped on a plane that was doing supply runs from Kahului, the main airport on Maui, out to this tiny little airport that serves that community. And that was, for a lot of days, the only way that they could get supplies
brought in. I don't know. I really don't know. But again, this goes back to why aren't you communicating to people? What's going on? And why you're doing what you're doing? All the result of their decisions left people and families and communities stranded in their most dire time of need. And the mayor didn't go out and show his face until almost two weeks after the fire happened.
That's insane. It's crazy. And then says he, well, he wants to take the land for the state. That's his first word. Now this is one of the reasons. I think the governor, sorry to talk about this. Like, how is that possible that these people could lose their home and then lose their land? Like, how is that possible? It is, it is the number one concern of people there in Lahaina is that a few days after this happened, I haven't spoken to the governor.
But he said in a press conference, he said, we're talking to the attorney general, he said, I'm talking to my attorney general to explore options for the state to take over that land and use it to build workforce housing or build a memorial to the live for the people who lost their lives. But the fears that the people in Lahaina have, some of whom like Archie Colepa, famous or for community leader, native Hawaiian leaders, families lived in Lahaina for nine generations.
Now being told, well, the state, the governor is looking at taking that land, taking ownership of that land, that it is unconscionable. And there's, oh, you know, we'll, you know, for those who've been displaced, we'll see about doing a land swap and we'll send you the big island to live in Pune. Jesus. It's taking away the sovereignty of people's rights to have a say over their home, in many cases, their generational lands.
is such an abuse of power. And so this is, and I'm glad that there are leaders in the community who are leaning into this fight to make sure that they are fighting this fight before anybody tries to do that, rather than looking in the rear view mirror and saying, gosh, I wish we had done something. But just imagine
a governor going on television after a massive tragedy where you have, we don't even know the number of people dead yet. You have this massive area that's from birth to the ground. And then he starts talking about taking it over for the state. That's an insane position to take, post tragedy. When people are suffering at their most, they can't even believe it happened. And then all of a sudden he's saying, we're gonna take it for the state and make a memorial. How about give the fucking people their homes back?
Exactly. One of the things we went over yesterday, which is a crazy number, we were looking at the amount of money that was accidentally sent to Ukraine, like they over sent 6 billion. And then I said, well, how much would it cost to rebuild every house?
in the Maui fire, and it's 5 billion, 5 billion something. That's just like accidental money, but there's no talk of doing that. There's no talk of doing that. Is that interesting? The way it's happened two or three times now where the Pentagon has said, oh, we miscalculated how much money we had set aside for Ukraine. So we have an extra 4 billion to send now that we didn't know we had. And this has happened a few times.
Secretary of State Tony Blinken went to Kiev yesterday promising, hey, we're going to give you another billion now. And this is the thing. When I was out there in Maui, person after person was like Tulsi, tell me what would happen if we started to call ourselves Ukraine? You think they would give us some money then to take care of our families, to fix our rules?
You know, that, that have been torn up by the hurricane winds that came through to make sure we have clean water to drink. You think they might pay attention to us then? And then the, and then FEMA comes out, the FEMA director comes out and does this press conference. I think it was at the White House and she says, well, someone said, well, what are you doing for Maui? She's like, oh, we're giving a one time $700 payment to everybody who's been impacted by the wildfire, a one time $700 payment.
It's insane. Hawaii has the highest cost of living in the entire country. The entire country and how freaking insulting is it? To have the lead disaster response administrator from the Biden administration stand there and proudly say, hey, we're giving everybody one $700 payment.
It's insane. And it's insane, especially because of how much money we're sending to Ukraine. Because there can be no doubt that these things are financially motivated now. Someone is making money off the Ukraine thing. And there's a reason why they're sending so much money. They have so much concern.
Have we ever seen a real war? I mean, when it first started Putin came with a mile of tanks. You would think the guy would be hanging in five days. You know what? They're president, like when they went into Iraq and Saddam and they got Saddam, you know, and they hung him in front of the world. You would think that Russia would be able to do that.
Well Ukraine is very well armed now. We sent them a lot of really good stuff. But they're losing a lot of soldiers. And the other thing about when they invaded was it was at a time where the grounds were essentially like marshy.
Like, they were concerned when it got colder, because then the trucks and the tanks could roll in on the dirt. But they were only coming in on the roads, and the Ukrainians were ambushing them on the roads. Well, you hear that Russia is a superpower, I mean, on par with the United States? Well, they always heard that, right? They are, but they're not using the full force of their might. I think we've spent more in Ukraine than Russia has. Wow.
That's crazy. One of the other things was that was our intelligence, the United States intelligence agencies in the lead up as Russia was building up their, you know, manning and tanks and everything at the border, our intelligence agencies were telling the president, telling the public that, you know, hey, what would they say? Like they will take Kiev in days, like in a few days that Russia will take the capital of Ukraine.
but even their intelligence proved to be vastly like wrong. Very, very wrong. And this is why people use this fear tactic to justify sending all of these hundreds of billions of dollars to Ukraine. Say, well, if we don't do this, Russia's gonna take all of Ukraine and then take over all of Europe. It's like, no, they don't have that capability. You're fear-mongering in order to continue to fund
a war that's benefiting the military industrial complex more than anyone else. There you go. That's what it looks like. Just another another one of those 20 year wars. It's gonna be 20 years, you know, real similar to what we just got out of. And if you're looking at that in relation to like what's going on in in Hawaii, it shows what's wrong with the world and shows the priorities. Frankly, it is it is when you look at, you know,
President Biden and his people announced like, oh, hey, look, he's going to take a break from his vacation at Lake Tahoe to go and visit the people. What a good guy. Exactly. Did you see when he went there and he started talking about a fire that he had? He almost lost his car? Yeah. Yeah. I know what a fire is like. I almost lost my car once.
That is fun. It's like they do that on purpose. They have him just babble something. No, they can't stop him. He is the president. They are a bunch of dopes who work for him. The smartest one is probably that White House press secretary. When that's your ace and the whole, you got a fucking entire administration. Think about that one guy that got busted because he was stealing women's clothes at the airport.
He's non-binary person in the White House. Fantastic. And this dude just stealing ladies clothes. Not an accident. It just hits his thing. He steals people's bags, puts them in their clothes, dresses up like that, brought their stuff to a hotel, threw out some of it, kept other ones. I thought it was my bag.
What are you going to do? Coops! Over and over. And so there's no one running the show. The show's chaos, you know? And then the people that are involved, I'm sure, in the defense industry are like, Wilson, it'd be very nice. We can continue this project. Yeah. And continue funding. I mean, watching Green, and even watching Hilo's own mayor, Mitch Roth, I mean, it really seems and feels
like the campaign is while they're signing these bills, this next bill that they signed that's going to do whatever, that's going to take Lahaina, that's him trying to get to the president, that's Josh Green trying to move up to the president, you know? They care about themselves, that's what it comes down to. Political entrepreneurs. And they're involved in a game.
And the game is like, if you're playing chess, you have to abide by the chess federation's rules. You play, but there's certain a lot of time. You know what to do. You don't pass anybody off. You don't break the rules. You signed this bill. Yeah, this is the game you're playing. And everybody wants to get better at their game, right? If you start off and you're a white belt, you want to go, I'm good. I like being a white belt. No, you want to be a black belt. If you start off and you're the mayor of a small city, like, you know, I don't like to be the fucking governor one day.
and then next thing you're moving around and moving up and hobnobbing with the right people and signing the right bills and making the right people happy and hey welcome our new governor and then the governor's like you know I like to run the whole motherfucker and then you know and then that guy starts doing things that what we've done with
California is take the tech sector and the finances. We're number one economy in the country. Oh, I see what's going on. You want to win. You want to win. It's a game. It's a game like all games. You want to be the top dog in the game. It's natural. If you're racing, you want to be the one that gets there when the flag goes off. That's just what human beings do. And when you apply human beings to a game that's governing citizens.
Scary. I mean, this is why our country is, I mean, we are headed in the direction of going to hell in a hand basket because we have people in positions of power who treat it as though it is a game. And the only ones who lose are the people. It's the American people. It's the people as the people on now. It's the people who have extreme needs and challenges who are being failed at every step of the way. And it's because they can get away with it. Here's the thing that people forgot about. Ready?
East Palestine. Remember? That wasn't that long ago. That was not that long ago that these people are living in toxic soup. Everybody's completely forgotten about them. There's no stories on TV. There's no stories in the newspaper. What about that community of people that experienced an insane experience? A train derails with toxic chemicals and they decide to light it all on fire and fish are fucking floating in the rivers. The skies are black.
So President Biden was asked about this the other day by a reporter who said, Oh, good. There you go. President will go to East Palestine. Oh, he will. Jean Pierre, that lady. She's hilarious. Oh my God. What the way he responded to the reporter who asked is they said, Oh, it's been 200 and however many days since the disaster in East Palestine, you promised that you would go there. You haven't gone yet. Why? And the president basically said, Well, I haven't had time.
Wow. When I went to East Palestine, I got involved with politics in Hawaii in the first place because of water, protecting the environment, making sure we have clean water. And so the challenges people on Maui are facing with water,
the challenges people in East Palestine are facing it. It was such a huge toxic disaster. But when I was there, they were saying the effects of this disaster won't fully be known for a while because the toxins at that time hadn't had, they were being told the waters clean. It's fine. It's safe. And the days after the disaster in East Palestine, people there are smart enough to know, well, the water hasn't seeped down through the soil and into our groundwater sources for those tests to be accurate.
And so they were concerned not only about, well, how are you going to come back and test our water in a month, in two months, in six months, in a year? How is that? It's a farming community out there. How is that going to affect the crops? They were already seeing animals dying in the weeks after that disaster happened. And that was their foremost concern is nobody ever heard the name East Palestine before this disaster happened. Will they still remember us when we need them?
And what about what's happening with their lungs? Those people were breathing that air, and they were told it was safe to go back, and they were taking photos of the sky, and that stuff stays in the clouds, and then when it rains, more comes down.
And then where's their money? When they're accidentally sending an extra $6 billion to Ukraine. It doesn't make any sense. It's just blatant and in your face that there's no concern about you. The concern is about whatever the agenda is. That's the concern. And if the American people want the guy to go there and give a little speech and talk about it, I was almost trying to fire once. They'll go do it, but that's it. That's all you get. And you get 700 bucks each.
And Ukraine gets an extra $6 billion. This is an extra $6 billion. What's the amount of money they spent so far in Ukraine? Let's guess. It's well over $100 billion.
They divvy it up when you look at the count sometimes they will it's this much has gone towards weapons, but like you know like you know The money we are giving to you that our government is giving to Ukraine is not only going to weapons We are paying we taxpayers are paying for their bureaucracy. Yeah, we are paying for their administrators. We are paying to 135 135 billion wall
Yeah, president just asked Congress for now is that August 15 is when was the fire? August 8th, so this is August. Yeah, he's asking Congress for $24 billion for the war in Ukraine and zero dollars for Maui and 10% for the big guy
You'd have to think. You'd have to think that. That's why it's easier to track the money when you bring it to Hawaii because all of our eyes are on the ball. I don't even think he can be corrupt anymore. He's just living. He's just eating ice cream and just waiting for the ticker to stop.
But this is insanity. This is like true insanity. And this is like the opposite of what we, the whole idea of electing people for office is that these people are going to care about us and do the right thing for the community because they're one of us. That's what we want.
That's what we want. When someone who's one of us, and when you see that, especially from these guys like Biden that are these career politicians, they're the opposite of one of us. They've been in that system forever. They've been playing that game forever.
The excuse that Pete Buttigieg was the guy that the Biden administration sent to East Palestine, of course he showed up. He announced he was going only when Trump announced that he was going. He literally showed up there the day after Trump went and visited the people there.
You know, the excuse that he gave is a common excuse that's given by people in government when they don't show up for people is, well, you know, I didn't want to get in which is Biden. I didn't want to get in the way of the response. You know, I'm busy doing things in my office to try to help, et cetera, et cetera. But
My point is like, Joe, if a really good friend of yours or your child or someone in your family was hurt for whatever reason, was in pain, was suffering. Even if you are not in a personal position to be able to alleviate that pain and suffering, what's the first thing you do? Go to them.
You show up. And you say, I love you. I care about you. I'm here for you. Tell me how I can help. And this is what I heard from officials on Maui at every level of the government is like, well, how do we know what they need? How do we best help? How do we best support? You will not know unless you show up and say, I am here for you. Tell me what you need. Tell me how we can support you. And if the answer is, I don't know, you are there for them.
Yeah. And that's what matters. That's like, if you care, no one should have to tell you to do this. Right. Because it's a long day to take them. How long did it take them to come down and finally? I mean, I heard from people there that it was like day 10 or 11 that the mayor showed up. That's a long time.
That's a long time. Right? The mayor, you live there. Yeah. It's a small island. It's insane. It is inexcusable. There's no... He must have been panicking. Well, you'd have to think, I mean, you're the governor. You leave.
The first thing you know a hurricane's coming, get your emergency team ready, right? Why wasn't the emergency team ready to go? Well, you know, the head of emergency response for Maui County was on a Wahoo at a FEMA conference when this happened. Happy hour.
You know why why didn't he and me like we all know you can get on a plane within 30 minutes Yeah, to fly from Honolulu to Kahului and be there within an hour hour and a half He didn't show up there until the you know one or two days after and when the mayor was asked Mr.. May this was you know a couple weeks after a reporter said who was who was directing the response your emergency management guy was not there who was the person Making decisions in the hours after the wildfire
The mayor said, I don't know.
I don't know. What about the guy sounding the alarm? Now he resigns. Does that mean he's not going to be criminally charged for criminal negligence? I mean, you talk a thousand people. He, the guy who was Anuahu when the fires happened, he didn't show his face in public to the media or to the community until eight or nine days after the crisis.
The guy who should have been talking to the media every single day in the hours and days after he didn't show his face in public until day eight or nine. And that was when he said that he didn't regret sounding the alarm system, which is a whole other like his response made no sense whatsoever. And then he resigned the day I don't. What is the controversy about the alarm system? So that was the question was like Hawaii has a state of the art alarm system.
We are the most remote island chain in the world. And as a result, natural disasters is kind of a part of life. Tsunamis, or hurricanes, or flooding, or whatever the case may be. We have the best. We have the best. They were not sounded because of these fires. And that was the number one question. Why wouldn't you sound the alarm system?
We had to wait until eight or nine days after when he came out to this press conference. And he was asked, do you regret not sounding the alarms? Because they weren't broken. They worked. And he said, I don't regret it. And the reason is because he says, we have been trained as people. When we hear the alarm, we believe that a tsunami is coming. And we have been trained to know that if a tsunami is coming, you head towards the hills. You head away from the ocean and towards the mountains.
That is such bullshit. Somebody told them that line. That's the best line you can come with. BJ, you know this because we all get the alarms on our phones. Yeah. Say, hey, there was an earthquake near Japan. Yeah. Tsunami may come to Hawaii in three days or four days. Be aware. And we got all of our geologists and all these people. They're tracking this.
You we have like a tsunami doesn't pop up out of nowhere. That's something that we have date. So if that alarm sounds and we haven't gotten that notice, there's something else. And we would know like this, there's something else. There was smoke like we should. Couldn't they send an alarm to your phones and said there's a fire? Yes. Yes.
You know, I don't know if he was yeah, so what happened with the water? There was also some controversy about the water not being utilized I think the power went down and then the water pumps went down from what a Third so the power did go out for a little while according to the electric company the power was restored and was not connected to to the water so you got released but
I mean, the short answer to the long history of water battles in Maui County is going back to the plantation days when corporations essentially took ownership of the water. So, you know, it's the native Hawaiian system of the Ahupua is you have the mountains, rainfall comes, streams, you have this natural ecosystem.
of waterways that go from the top of the mountains out to the ocean. And Hawaii's agriculture systems and wetlands and fish ponds, everything was built around that. These corporations came in, took over, and literally took ownership of the water on Maui in many, not all of it, but most of it, and started diverting those streams so that the water fed directly into their lands, plantations.
and then ag land and then now very wealthy landowners, golf courses, resorts, etc. But the effect of that was places like Lahaina that was traditionally a wetland. It was called the Venice of Maui. It was lush. There were fish ponds and farms and all of this stuff.
Because of that water diversion, it's like a desert there now, which is why these wildfires keep happening. And traditional farming communities and Native Hawaiian lands were bled dry because the water was diverted to private corporations. So fast forward, how did that impact the fires? Sorry, what year did that happen?
Around? I mean, this was... 1800s, 1850s. Yeah, this was... The big five, the big five you're talking about. Yeah, exactly. The big five plantation owners that came in. But the problem has compounded generation after generation after generation.
firefighters didn't have access to water when they needed it, to effectively try to fight these fires. There was a hurricane winds, and so obviously it grew and spread like a blowtorch across the town of Lahaina. But even in the other, you know, in up country Maui and Kula, when I went up and talked to some of the residents up there who also saw, I don't know, it was like almost 600 acres that were burned through.
Homes were burned down and they were trying to help each other. Neighbors are trying to help each other because you see, okay, hey, there's fire starting. Let's all get our hoses and turn on the water and try to do what we can until the firefighters get here. They turned on their hoses and it was just like dribbles.
dribbles of water. And so literally they're going in like scooping water out of their toilet bowls. And like, oh gosh, there's a little bit of water like from the last time it rained stuck in like our kids bucket, like literally getting water from wherever the bottles of water trying to fight fires in their community to save people's homes. And watching people dying while that's happening, watching children burn. I was talking to my friend. He was a big part of my campaign.
The last campaign, he said, hey, BJ, children, Adam was burning. You're trying to fight it with water that you don't have. I mean, he just so many. And so there was a request that was put into the state to divert the water so that it could be used to fight the fires.
And there was some kind of like six or eight hour delay before that decision was made. And I don't know the answer yet as to what that delay was. But the fact that the people of Maui don't have control over their own water is exactly the problem. Both in this crisis, but on a daily basis,
where families are told, hey, you know, countywide, there's a drought right now. Everybody needs to conserve water. You know, you got to be limited with don't wash your car and all this other stuff. But meanwhile, they go and drive through one of these resorts and they see all the sprinklers off of the golf courses and they see no restrictions whatsoever in the hotels. And it's no wonder why people there are like, what the
What the heck is going on here? You guys really only care about these resorts, but you don't actually care about the fact that a mother can't bathe her child because of the water restrictions.
It's insane. It is. It is literally the definition of insane. It's always been like this. It's always been like this. These battles have been the golf course since their fertilizers into the water then affecting the fish, like Kona and different things. It's always been this.
And so this is the thing is like, so how do we solve this? I mean, this has been a generation's long battle for the right to water, which is the one thing that every living thing needs to survive, water. And the people there are fighting for that right to their own water. And this is big, this is big on the big island, on the whole hammer core coast.
There are senators, state senators, and everything. Every day diverting these streams, they're pretty good size, we call them rivers, but I think the technical name, they're streams, you know, because I don't think there's too many rivers like Mississippi or nothing, that's a river.
But we got to maybe just on that, Hama Kuo Coast we got. 70 rivers is 50 miles and they just keep diverting them on the top. But even more eye-catching is when you're driving on the road Hama Kuo Coast the most beautiful green place in the world with 70 rivers. I live right on there on Hama Kuo Coast and you can't jump in the car without asking yourself.
How many trees, how many worthless crappy trees can I count before I count one tree with food, not one tree with food. And you can only sit there and think that's not an accident. That's not an accident that there's no food anywhere on this 50 miles that you would have to walk back to Hilo or walk all the way to Honoka City or Honoka town to go get some food.
And, you know, it's a law actually in Hawaii that you cannot put any of trees with fruit on it anywhere. And it just makes you wonder. It just makes you wonder that, you know, you can't put trees with fruit.
on public lands, trees with food. I know that. And I would think that's everywhere, but look over here. Look at all the trees you see. Why isn't there food? Because they rather push stuff like social classes, stuff like the EBT card, and these different things. Why is there no food? And any of the trees, just think about it in your head. Take a drive down the road and say, today I'm going to count how many trees I count before I see one tree with food. Will you see one tree with food?
And that's what I've been talking about. I mean, I talk about that all the time. And it's to push these things. It's almost like they started eradicating all the pigs, eradicating the cows, because you see them. You see the wild cows, the wild pigs, all the time on the Big Island.
and they started eradicating those things and it's almost like I'd hate to think that they were. It's like they want us to compete only for the food that comes in on the boat. That's the only food they want, like the hunger games. You guys, all 1.5 million of you are going to compete for the food on the boat. This big thing is interesting because the wild pig thing is big in Texas too and it's really just about eradicating them because they destroy all the
All the farmlands like they they destroy the crops and they they make so many babies like pigs have pigs start their first litter at six months and Then they'll have you know as many as like 12 babies in a litter and they'll have three litters a year And they just bang bang bang bang bang bang and they just start destroying crops It's like the same thing that I said when I was in Molokai when we were when we were campaigning and I said they say
that you guys have a deer problem. But how is unlimited food a problem? I want to know. How is unlimited food a problem? And I understand you got a fence offer, you do your different things, or maybe they can corral all these animals and do different things with them. But we have to start thinking of ways. They talk about sustainability. But the way they talk about sustainability, they want to do it with electric cities. They want to make these electric cities. They just passed it in Hilo.
And they said Hilo was one of the lucky people to pass one of these United Nations electric cities in Hilo. But it makes me wonder to the mayor who let it go, Mr. and Mr. Roth, who I actually know personally. But are you the mayor of the UN? Or are we going to make our Hilo cities over here? I mean, you hear all the time in 1800,
It took all the way to 1800 to get 1 billion people. And in 1800, we started using coal in oil and fossil fuels. And then we jumped to 200 people within that time. So we jumped 7 billion within the time of 200 years. So you'd have to just think, well, if E.K. signed a bill that we can't burn coal anymore in Hawaii,
And oil we're still using gasoline, but they want to push these electric cities now with electric cars and all these things. But you would just have to think if it oil and coal made this much people, what's this going to do? Because we're not going to have enough electricity.
Or, you know, we're not there yet now. Well, it's not just that. But is it what they're doing in Oregon? You know what they're doing in Oregon? They're making people. I think it's one of their state too. They're going to have these GPS devices. They attach to your electric car. So it taxes you for the amount of electricity that you use. Oh my gosh.
So for every mile that you go, you have to pay a certain carbon tax because electricity is being generated by something that generates carbon. So the idea that this is supposed to be carbon free is fucking stupid because you have oftentimes coal powered electric plants
that are firing up extra because so many people need electricity for their electric cars. So you're putting more particulates in the air, you're putting more carbon in the air, it's bananas. Isn't that why they say you should buy an electric car? It's with less carbon in the air. And now they're going to tax you for it. The whole thing is so crazy. You certainly do while you're driving.
While you're driving, you personally, while you're driving, if you drive an electric car, you're not polluting. But what did it take to make that car? What did it take to get that car here if you bought it from another country? I mean, just the amount that one of those giant ships that moves cars over from Germany, do you know how much fucking fuel those things burn? It's insanity.
It's insanity. Oh, and you get here. Look, we're green bitch. You aren't green. What what made that thing? What have you got one for China? What made that thing? Yeah Yeah, it's it's crazy. It's great. I mean and how are though? How are all of these people gonna stay warm? What about their air conditioner? I mean, do we have enough energy for these people? Well, you'll be trapped. You'll be trapped. So just so if if we had oil and
And Cole, to bring us this far, does that mean we're just gonna have to go this far now as far as the population? Well, there's also this talk of 15-mile cities, right? Yeah, tell me about those. I don't know much about them. The idea is that you'll essentially... That's what this city is. That's what this city is. It'll essentially be contained unless you get permission to leave. That's true. Yeah, they're gonna put this in there. The idea they're starting to roll out in Europe, they're talking about... I think they've already implemented this somewhere.
Well, you would think, well, I'm just thinking about Lahaina when you're talking about this, because you would think, well, how are they going to put us on that land of these 15-minute cities? But then you would think, well, how are they going to get us off our land? But they just have. In Lahaina, they just got these people off their land. And if you go
well they're talking about they haven't done it no no i mean they can't they cannot go on their land now because right there's a there's a eight-year-old fella and he he wants to his house burned down and his safe is in there and he wants to go check on a safe but he can't get in he can't get in the property and
Right, but we're assuming eventually he can get in. Right. They haven't kicked the people off their land. Yeah. If FEMA doesn't steal his safe first or whoever is working or any workers and that kind of stuff, if everything doesn't disappear. Right. But it's just interesting. You would think you would be able to go there and say, no, get off your trespassing. I'm going to go on my land. Right.
It would think, how can it be any different? Right, there's no fire anymore. How can it be any different? It's impossible for these people to be keeping them off their land. It's not a thing that you negotiate about. It's not this or that. No, that's your land. Get off, trespassing, trespassers will be shot, or whatever it is. I mean, I understand not wanting tourists to go view it, but if you can show identification, this is my land, they should lay you right through.
100% especially so far after that. You're safe is there. You're an 80 year old man. You just want to see if your money's there. I know an initial concern was the toxicity of what happened there. But the reality is with all of the recovery teams that have been going through there, all the federal officials, like all of the government visitors that have gone there,
There is no excuse why they can't tell this 80 year old guy, hey, here's a mask that will protect you from breathing in all this crap. Go to your land. It is funny because as kids, we played in asbestos our whole lives. We've cleaned it up thousands of times, put it in trash bags. It jumped. It was on the ceilings before when we were kids that white stuff. I haven't heard of anybody with asbestos.
I thought I could be wrong. I just don't know who it is. People got cancer from it, for sure. It's very cancer-causing. We literally used to play in that stuff. We whacked it off the roof and all that. We're still here. There was lead paint in people's houses. They had to remove that too, because it was lowing kids IQs. What are those 15 minutes things? What are the plans?
I've heard of it, but as I look it up, there's an article from Canada that says it's a little bit of a conspiracy theory. Canada's conspiracy theory. Canada's literally a function in conspiracy theory. It's just a concept to bring things within 15 minutes. Right, but isn't there something going on in a 15 minute city that they tried in the UK? Isn't there something along those lines?
Just Google that. 15-minute city in UK. Just Google that. 15-minute city in UK. 15-minute city. I know it's going to come up, but I don't know what I'm looking for, so I'm saying. Electric City or something, right? Well, they've talked about walkable communities for a long time. I don't know. 15-minute hysteria. That's from March. Rather benign urban planning concept. Yeah, English city of Oxford clicked that.
Yeah. Okay. An academic behind the hit urban, the hit. It's a hit, guys. It's like fucking Saturday Night Fever. It's a hit. The hit urban planning concept slammed flat earthers.
Spreading fake news about livable cities. Oh yeah, you're a flat earther. If you don't want to be trapped in a 15 minute city. Where's Kelly Slater when you need him? So scroll down here. Is Kelly Slater a flat earther? He jokes around. He just torches people all the time.
Um, so a rather benign urban planning concept is shaking up the English city of Oxford, sending thousands of people into the streets to protest what they say is a dystopian plan. Take away their personal freedoms and lock them into their neighborhoods. The concept of the 15-minute city popularized by the Franco-Columbian academic Carlos Moreno aims to make cities more livable by ensuring that all essential services, think schools, medical care, and shops are within the distance of a short walk or bicycle ride.
Broadly, the idea is to cut down on long commutes and car emissions and improve people's quality of life, ensuring they have access to quality services where they live. It's not the way it's being seen in Oxford, News of the City Council adopted a plan to embrace the 15-minute city model prompted fierce backlash with local groups and public figures alleging that authorities plan to restrict residents to their immediate neighborhoods and strictly police their movements, which will happen eventually.
The idea that this that won't happen eventually, particularly in the case of a pandemic or something where they can control people, this is not a fucking conspiracy theory. The outrage has been fanned by popular right-wing media figures and politicians who seized on the issue as an outrageous example of government overreach.
if they do limit people to those places, that is exactly what people are terrified of. If they embrace this concept and create this model, and then somehow another mandate that you stay inside that, that's fucking terrifying. Which in the age of the COVID lockdowns is not out, there's no surprise that people are. Well, you just buy the guys calling the people that are talking about it flat-earhers. Hey, buddy, yeah. No, they're not. It's a spoiler alert. Yeah.
Yeah, it's interesting. It makes you think. Yeah, it makes you want it. It does make you think. Now, look, if you wanted to make sure that people have all their goods and services, very close to them, so they could walk to, that's a great idea. But the concept of somehow or another gating that or stopping people from going out or having checkpoints,
That's what gets people concerned. And they should be. And cameras? Yeah. The whole thing's got to be camera. They should be. I mean, look what we went through with the flights in this country where, you know, you had to have a vaccine to even fly into this country as recently as very recently go. I mean, is it still the case? Do you still have to be vaccinated to fly in? I don't think so.
My friends just came from Australia and they said you do. And it's gonna start back up, right? Aren't they doing the next pandemic? They're talking about masks again. What? The White House press secretary lady. She was just talking about the vaccines. The vaccines work. Like, have a seat. Have a seat. They work how? Did you see the Cleveland Clinic study that shows that the more vaccinated you are, the more likely you are to get COVID?
means that as of 1201 a.m. on May 12th, 2023 non-citizen, non-immigrant, air passengers are no longer need to so proof. So my friend, well, maybe they made you have proof in Australia to leave. I don't know. Maybe it's an Australian thing.
I mean, non citizen, non immigrant. It was because if you come across the board, they just let you come. Yeah, yeah. Okay, I got you. I got you. If you've gotten some kind of special, if all you put off, you all you has a backpack and you're here. Oh, yeah. You don't have to be back. American thing, by the way, American National volunteer program.
Which Oregon thing? The Oregon GPS thing for EV vehicles? Yeah, but the idea is the tax people. It's to tax them. Well, because according to this, it's like a way to supplement the people who are being taxed at the gas pump versus people who are not being taxed when they pump their EV cars.
Yeah, but you're still taxed. I wonder who would volunteer to pay a few times. No one's going to volunteer. But the idea is they're setting up this eventual precedent where you're going to get taxed on the carbon that you use, period. Right. So you'll have some sort of an app, and we have to really fight against this. You're going to have an app that shows your carbon footprint.
Now it's really ironic because when you have guys like Bill Gates who owns four private jets, just one of those jets in one day spews out more carbon than your car does in the whole fucking life you use. And this guy is flying all over the place telling everybody that they're going to have to eat fake meat. That's like the ultimate elitism when you look at people like Bill Gates. You look at people like John Kerry. Yeah.
who justify their own contradiction of their laws? I know, exactly. When he got busted and he lied, John Kerry, did you see that video? What did he get busted for? Well, because he was saying that I've never had a private jet, I don't own a private jet. Have you seen that? Have you seen it? You have to see this. Jamie pulled that video up because it's...
hilarious. He's just flat outlying. And they think they were so stupid that we're going to just buy their boldface live. Yeah.
This is not the important part. The important part, Jamie, is before this. Pause it. The important part is before this, where he's saying, I never owned a private chat. I don't know. You guys got to stop saying that. Yeah. See if you can find that. He was very strong in his. That's the more interesting part. It's all special interest. Everything, right? I mean, the more you can find it. It's self-interest, right? I mean, it is. Ultimately, it's about self-interest. Yeah. When he says that it's before he talks to this gentleman,
So it's hilarious. It's hilarious because he just flat out lies and then he gets busted. Yeah. Oh, my wife. Oh, that person. Oh, that lady. So how do you come up against these guys? Because that's the kind of people that are running for president and the kind of people that are running for governors or any kind of people that are the vice president. Yeah.
I mean, how do you battle these guys because you're a local girl, just like go up like me and that's, you know, that's the kind of people we're up against, you know? It's true. I mean, the challenge is that it's not only them and their propaganda that they're spewing is they have their tentacles and their propaganda arms out through the mainstream media and through, you know, some massive monopoly big tech corporations.
Yeah. The beauty is that more and more, I mean, people are starting to see the truth. They're starting to see through these politicians' lies and are actively looking for leaders who actually care about the people rather than these
political leaders and bureaucrats and others who are making their decisions based on keeping power, growing power, or taking care of themselves, family members or their pocketbook, their own selfish interest. Imagine where we would be right now if Elon didn't buy Twitter.
Oh, gosh. Yeah. Thank God. None of that stuff would none of the Twitter files would have been exposed. No, we would not have known. And he just made a tweet yesterday about Facebook. See if you can find the Facebook tweet where he's talking about Facebook censoring people.
for ad revenue, and limiting their post, even if what they're saying is true, which is where it gets really creepy. Because it's one of the things that happened with Tucker Carlson. They demoted his video. So it was seen by approximately 50% less people. They limited the reach. And what he was saying was absolutely true. Nothing he was saying is inaccurate. And they got a note from the federal government, you need to do something about this, to take it down. They said, we can't take it down.
because it's true. They said, well, you need to demote it. Here it is. The Facebook cave to far left pressure groups and now allows them to silently dictate policy in exchange for ad money.
I think that the big news that people should take away from what you just said, Joe, is the excuse that these corporations always give is like, hey, we're private companies. We can do whatever we want. But the fact that we are now seeing more and more evidence that they are censoring people at the direction of people in the White House and people in the federal government or the FBI or other law enforcement agencies is the most chilling violation of our First Amendment rights.
So this says that the advertising boycott battering Facebook is unlike anything the social media giant has faced in 16-year history. Three days in, 800 companies worldwide have pulled millions of dollars in advertising from the social network with brands from Coca-Cola to Ford to global conglomerate Unilever demanding that Facebook monitor hate speech more aggressively.
With pullouts mounting the company's name constantly tied to racism and hate in the news coverage, CEO Mark Zuckerberg responded by livestreaming part of an employee meeting, one of the few things he's done in that company's history. One of the few times he's done that rather in that company's history. Then on Wednesday, Facebook's Powerhouse Policy and Communications Chief, former British Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg issued an open titled, Facebook does not benefit from hate touting its efforts to police its content.
The boycott emerged as a crucial test for a company that has become a key player in American politics simply because of what it hosts and promotes on its site, which until recently had been vocally doubling down its commitment to keeping an open platform for user speech. The thing about this stop hate speech,
How much of that hate speech is really even people? How much of that hate speech is troll farms? 19 of the top 20 Christian sites on Facebook were found to be run by Russian troll farms. How much of this hate speech
is led even by our own government. How much of this hate speech is fake and they use it so they can crack down on all kinds of speech? How much? Exactly. And I think that's the thing right there is whether they use the term hate speech or misinformation or disinformation. These have become labels that they slap on people on our accounts right now on Instagram now for the last few months.
They've been shadow banning me under the guise of disinformation. How do you know you've been shadow banning? Because when people, people screenshot what they see when they try to follow my account or when they try to at mention me in a repost, they get this warning screen that comes up from Meta or from Instagram that says, are you sure you want to follow this person who has repeatedly been found to be spreading disinformation?
And I've gone through the things and looked at some of the examples of what Instagram has deemed to be disinformation. And here it is right here. Exactly. The account has been repeatedly posted at false information that was reviewed by independent. These fact checkers are independent. Of course. Independent fact checkers are when against our community guidelines.
Do you want to imagine this account when you try to tag Tulsi Gabbard? For the account holder, for me, they don't allow any means to appeal or provide counter-evidence to these fact checkers. Do they at least provide you with the post-SAR?
They, in the one example I'm thinking of is one where I cited the UN article, and it was an actual article reporting the UN statement, essentially legitimizing pedophilia, saying that sex with minors shouldn't be demonized. And I'm paraphrasing, so I don't remember the exact article, but that was the statement. And I posted a shot of the headline and the article, which was clearly cited, and the independent quote unquote independent fact checkers
said that I have misinterpreted the article. And therefore, that was... Can we see what the actual article says? What does the actual article say? Let me see if I can find it. Jamie can probably find it. It was a UN statement or policy that was passed. Well, they try and use the term minor attracted people.
I don't know that they use that term, but they, yeah, insane. Yeah. That one's insane. It is, it is, it is insane. And that's like saying a murder is a murder attracted person. Yeah. Someone attracted to killing people. The criminals do more than us to take care of the pedophiles. And it's sad. Right. What's in jail? Criminal. Yeah. They do more than us. We do nothing. I don't know what I'm looking for again. I have something, but I would, I would look for like United Nations sex with minors.
This is from a few months ago. They're not in the business of legalizing things, but they're in the business of advocating for policy changes.
And so the idea was on their side was what? To stop demonizing people that are attracted to minors? Right. That it should not be. How scary is that? Yeah. And every one of their policies is the kind of stuff that somebody like Governor Green follows. He follows, I mean, from what I've seen. But that's insane. Well, that's insane. All the politicians, I mean,
They push. It's like that's how you get to the next level. You want to be the best, you want to get to the next level. Do what the UN is saying to do. That's where all the money is. Claim a new United Nations report calls for decriminalizing sexual activity between adults and minors. AP's assessment falls.
Report published in March by the International Commission of Jurists in collaboration with the UN's AIDS agency called for enforcing minimum age of consent laws in a non-discriminatory manner. It did not call for decriminalizing all sexual activity between minors and adults. Spokesperson for the UN and the Commission confirmed the facts.
The claim began with an April 14 blog post entitled UN report calls for decriminalization of all sexual activity, including between adults and children, which cited specific passages of a document issued by the International Commission of Juris in March. The claim quickly circulated across social media platforms, including on Twitter, Instagram and TikTok.
Is that it? Does it show the actual, what, what actually the UN said shows on this website? Oh, well, that's not what I think it's interesting. I mean, I'm seeing a whole lot of parsing of words. The bridge, the bridge between it. But I would like to know what they did say that would even let's see it that would even allow people to believe that they said that that they said that that seems just insane as it is.
The problem with Googling this? Yeah, well, yeah, you got to go duck duck go try this and duck duck go Well, it won't be curated Jamie and that's what's important
When you get to things that are curated, it gets me uncomfortable. The very first things that come up the same way. Yes. Well, that's good. That means it's probably not true. Let's find out if it is true. Fact check post-misrepresents. What is... Okay. So scroll down to that one. New UN report advocates for decriminalizing sex with minors.
So this is one of those websites. This is from April 16th. Okay. What does it say? Principle 16, titled, consensual sexual conduct reads, consensual sexual conduct, irrespective of the type of sexual activity, the sex, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression of the people involved or their marital status may not be criminalized in any circumstances.
consensual same sex as well as consensual different sex sexual relations or consensual sex relations with or between trans non-binary other gender diverse people or outside marriage whether premarital or extramarital may therefore never be criminalized. With respect to the enforcement of criminal law, any prescribed minimum age of consent to sex must be applied in a non-discriminatory manner.
Enforcement may not be linked to the sex gender of the participants or age of consent to marriage. Moreover, sexual conduct involving persons below the domestically prescribed minimum age of consent to sex may be consensual, in fact, if not in law.
In this context, the enforcement of criminal law should reflect the rights and capacities of persons under 18 years of age to make decisions about engaging in consensual sexual conduct and their right to be heard in matters concerning them.
pursuant to their evolving capacities and progressive autonomy. Persons under 18 years of age should participate in decisions affecting them with due regard to their age, maturity and best interests and with specific attention to non-discrimination guarantees.
Now, that to me could be interpreted as like you say that 16 year old people should be allowed to have sex with other 16 year old people, which doesn't necessarily, you know what I'm saying? Like they're not saying older people are allowed to have sex with younger people.
Why not 10 years old? Well, according to this statement, why wouldn't that apply to someone who's 10 or however old saying, well, hey, it was consensual. Does a 10 year old have the ability to make that decision says the laws should reflect the rights and capacity of persons under 18 years of age to make decisions about engaging in consensual sexual conduct. And the right to be heard in matters concerning them.
But the thing is, it's saying people under 18 engaging in sexual conduct, it doesn't say them engaging in sexual conduct with people older than that. If it did, then I would say, yeah, you're legalizing pedophilia. But what I think you're doing is you're allowing people under 18 to have sex, which they're going to do anyway.
I guess here's the issue with this statement and why I raised it as a concern is
It does not, I mean, it doesn't say, well, okay, as long as you have two kids under the age of 18, but above the age of whatever, 10 or 12, or, you know, is the consensual, it's so vague as to say, well, why shouldn't a 12 year old have that capacity to make their own autonomous decisions about consensual sex, whether it's with a 17 year old or a 20 year old or a 40 year old or a 60 year old?
It says it shall not be criminalized. So it could open the door for someone interpreting that and saying that sex with someone under 18 years of age isn't criminal anymore.
And this is the problem here, is it speaks to, I mean, we've seen over and over again, well, from pedophiles, well, hey, she wanted it, or she agreed to it, or vice versa. Teachers who are sexually abusing kids in their grade schools, middle schools, or whatever, saying, well, it was consensual for a teacher to have sex with their 13-year-old student.
Right. But when you posted this, what did you put? I got to find it. I got to look and see why. See if you can find what you posted. Yeah.
it's weird to make a law like that like what are you saying you're you're saying that young kids can have sex legally is that what you're saying like i don't know what you're saying there because it like if they're saying that you know it shouldn't be a crime for seventeen-year-olds to have sex with each other i agree with that but if you're saying
Other people can have sex with them. I think 18 is a good number. 18 is a good number. It's a good legal, especially for men. It's a good legal cutoff number. If they're saying that you should be able to have sex with people who are minors, I would imagine it would be way more laid out than that.
which is kind of which is basically what they're saying is that the capacity for anyone under the age of eighteen to make their own decisions right to provide consent and that's where it just like you know you get into the whole power dynamic again of teachers and students right boss you know i'm not actually not bosses but people who are in positions of authority or power how how you know
Okay. Yeah. How does a 10 year old or 12 year old have the capacity to make that decision for themselves or to see through this person who is an authority figure in their lives, who is somehow manipulated their minds to convince them that this is the right thing or the best thing or whatever. And that statement, um,
about not not allowing that to be criminalized and not recognizing the parents, the need to protect children. Yeah, the need to protect children. And then you look at that statement within the context of what's happening across our country and the world, where our kids are being sexualized in like kindergarten, first grade, second grade, third grade, shown these picture books that I've seen myself.
that are more sexually graphic than anything I've ever seen in my life, that are targeted for middle school kids, then you match that with this policy statement coming from the UN, and you see the danger here of the normalization of sexualizing our kids, of the normalization of minor attracted people, of people in positions of authority, and there are leaked videos showing this saying, hey,
These minor-attracted people should be allowed to serve as teachers in our schools, where they're in a position to, I mean, they are supposed to protect our kids in that position. And yet, these self-identified minor-attracted people are in a position where they can very easily abuse
that trust that parents place in them and act on their sick desire. Are there any examples of minor identified people, identifying themselves as minor attracted people, teaching kids? Yes.
I mean, I've seen TikTok videos of these people. There was a leaked, like, hidden someone took with their iPhone video of, like, I don't know if it was a school meeting or a teacher meeting or whatever of someone from the school saying, hey, you shouldn't be discriminating against someone because they're a minor-tracked person.
What? That's what? Yeah. So someone who was working for the school, like in some sort of a capacity to make decisions, was justifying that. Was justifying having someone who is a legitimate pedophile. Yeah.
And that's, you know, of course they'll never use that term. That's so crazy that that term is something like changing the terms changes what it is. But that's the power of language though. Yeah, that's bananas. That is so insane that they would go with that. Because I remember that was going on a few years ago and people rejected it. Yeah. Someone had made the term minor attracted persons and everybody blew up left and right. And now it's sort of like
It's okay. Yeah. All right. And that's why they call it a spelling rate. Cast in a spell. It kind of is in this case. Did you find out what you actually posted? But I can see taking the right away from the parents, I mean, just being parents ourselves, right? Taking the right away from parents and it
Yeah. That's everything. That's the whole thing. That's the whole thing. In a taxpayer funded campaign to push quote unquote woke ideology onto the world, the UN is advocating for the decriminalization of adults having sex with children regardless of the child's age. So long as the child quote unquote, consents at the very least, American taxpayers should not be underwriting the UN until it stops all promotion of pedophilia and sex trafficking.
And I posted a screenshot of an article from the Washington free beacon that says headline, UN says minors can consent to sex, which is essentially the statement that you read. And then it quotes sexual conduct involving persons below the domestically prescribed minimum age of consent to sex may be consensual if, in fact, if not in law, the UN says. Well, that way, if they said it that way,
That sounds to me like an adult having sex with someone who's under 18 and that they can consent to that. That sounds like what that says. Now, why would anybody with all the problems in the world, if you're really worried about climate change, you're really worried about Russia taking over Ukraine, why are you so concerned?
with young kids being able to consent to sex. That seems insane. And here's what the... Here's what one of the... The whole agenda is last... But it's like, are you just trying to destroy people's faith in life? I mean, if I really wanted to go full 10 foil hat, you know, Yuri Besmanoff, like, conspiracy from 1984, where he was describing how the breakdown of American
demoralization, the breakdown of democracy was engineered by Russia. That's how you would demoralize people. That's a great way to do it. I mean, it's sneaky, but it's a great way to do it. And beatings will continue until morale improves.
That's what it is. Always. Well, look how quickly people rolled over during COVID. It's fascinating. It was fascinating to watch how quickly people just trusted the wholesale, the pharmaceutical drug companies, the same people that got us into the opioid crisis. Well, you know what I believe it is.
you know, just from our relationships of living life, it's all a lot of it, not it's all, I shouldn't, I can never say that, but a lot of things are of childhood trauma and the different traumas we experience as kids and, you know, from all kinds of, from
abandonment issues to neglect, to abuse, and all these things. And you got all that inside, and you want to fight with it. I use the connection, the analogy of say somebody was hanging out, they were a kid, and somebody went up and did the knockout game to them. And they got knocked out, and they were traumatized from that. And when people would move their hands, they start to get defensive. And then after a while, they just start swinging first.
Well, you know, I had a conversation with Michael Orven once on a plane, just randomly on a plane. We were flying in Australia, we were just happy to meet on a flight together. He was going there for a football thing. I was going there for the UFC. And we were talking about, he was telling me about studies that they've done on women when the child is in the womb and the women experience this violence, domestic violence, a lot of violence.
violence in the community, cortisol levels rise, and the child coming out is more likely to be violent. The child coming out of the more likely percent tempered, because you have to. It's like you're being programmed that dangers around you all the time, and you gotta be able to snap into it quick. That's what it is.
And you think fighting a thousand fights will help this one problem, but just like Jiu Jitsu, you gotta go to the root of the problem. And it's whether it was your mother who you got problems, your mother wasn't there and neglected you or your father and different things, and you gotta forgive them. And then you realize you don't take anything personal in life.
You know, pulls a gun on you or different things that you just got to remember. They're in more pain than you if you survive that night, you know. But that's what life is. Everybody is in so much pain. They're so hurt. They have so much fear. They're afraid that their husband's going to walk out the door and they're never going to see him again. Now, if you tell that person, if you don't listen to me, it's going to be a winter of death.
And everybody's in this and that. And yeah, and they're already afraid of the whole world. And that's the people who vote for them. And that's who they get. They reach out to those people. Those are the hurt ones. And imagine how many pain there is in the world just from childhood trauma. Just life, just life trauma. Just the anxiety of trying to survive.
I mean, so many people are just hanging on. How many people will have just barely enough in the bank account to just take a couple of days off work? Forget about being unemployed. Yeah. And it wipes out all of our whole workforce. I mean, in Hawaii, we got to wait for the food to come in on the boat. And if you're working, if it's anywhere near,
Because the groceries are so expensive. If it's anywhere near the EBT card, why not just jump on the EBT card then? Because it's a tough situation. Everybody's hurt. Hawaii is in bad shape in our workforce. It was in bad shape because of COVID already. Yeah. And we were talking about this in terms of the funding for any disaster efforts or anything. It was already hurt.
Yeah. And now they're coming to raise the rest of everybody. And well, thank God I was talking to UFC gym this morning. And we said, nope, we're not doing anything. We're not doing any of the masks. We're not doing any of the vaccine passports. We're not keeping everything open. So that stuff is more unhealthy than, you know, we don't want to push on healthiness. We need to push healthy. And you got to you got to keep your place open. You got to, you know,
That's what it is. We've got to survive. We've got to survive. Survival over everything. Well, the thing about survival, just the term survival, they're talking now about doing this where the disease doesn't even kill anybody. This new COVID is a cold. My kids had it. They had it for a day. I didn't even get it.
I didn't do shit. I didn't do anything different. I visited my daughter when she was in bed. I kissed her. I'm like, you gonna be okay? Just chill out. She was sick for one day. I never got it. My wife had it kind of. She had like a crappy workout day and she was tired and she was wrecked and she went to sleep early.
I never got it. You can't get COVID unless you take the test. You just got the flu. The bottom line is everybody wants to be scared. They want to go back to being free. I've watched so many people on Instagram saying, I can't wait for the booster to come out in September. I'm ready. You know, and you know, I've already had five boosters and you know, I'm not everywhere in public.
That doesn't even work. You see studies on masks. It doesn't work. It doesn't stop spread. CNN confronted Fauci about this. And what did Fauci say? But this is a wild shift for CNN. I applaud them for it.
They were confronting him on studies. You're telling people to mask up, but the studies are saying that masks don't work. And he was saying, they work on an individual level. What does that even mean? That doesn't mean anything. If it doesn't work on a human being, it doesn't work. If it doesn't work on populations of human beings, it doesn't work. You're breathing air out of that fucking thing.
The particles of these viruses are very small. They're smaller than vape particles. If you've ever seen that one doctor that did this demonstration on YouTube, early in the pandemic, this guy said, this is bullshit. You know, I understand how small these viruses are. Let me show you with something that's much larger, which is vape. So he takes a big hit of the vape and he puts a fucking mask on and blows the fucking vape smoke right out of the mask.
It's like we're playing a game. This is like cosplay. Special interest group. It's just well and one of the most powerful of all in big pharma. Every time they announce, oh, there's a new variation and we're working on the new booster and it's going to be ready in six months. And well, there's going to be a new variation of COVID by then and they're going to work for the next boost. It'll be ready in another six months. And I don't even think they've tested this new one on people.
Yeah. It's got to be big farmer over big farmer. Yeah. We got to get all that food. It's a good line, BJ. I like that. We got to get all that food. Actual nutrition. Because we're not, I remember watching this thing back when I was training and it said clearly, we are not homo sapiens. We are bacteria sapiens. And we need to eat all that food. I think the best nutritionist was Colonel Sanders when he said, finger licking good. You know, don't wash your hands.
Eat the food, eat the pie, you know? Yeah, you know, bacteria. I think it's something, the fact that I never get sick, to the fact that I shake so many hands. Like, I used to do shows, I used to do shows like I did the Chicago Theater, two shows, and after there's 3,700 people each show. After the shows, I'd shake hands with as many people who want to take pictures. I waited for hours, the fucking staff hated it.
But you gotta stay there. It's just shaking thousands of people's hands and hugging thousands of people. That's how you get strong. But I wasn't getting same. Also nutrition, also actually. It was also sleep. All those good things. But on top of that, there's a little bit of something to being exposed to a bunch of different people's biome. And when you're locked in your house, it's actually detrimental to your immune system. On top of it creates anxiety, which is detrimental to your immune system. You're freaking out social isolation.
All the things are bad for your mental health, which is bad for your physical health. All those things are connected. 100% to ignore that is fucking silly. And it's crazy. It was so insane to me when during the height of COVID, Jen Psaki was still the White House press secretary at that time. And somebody asked her, are you in the White House going to start advocating for people to, I don't know if it was exercise, any healthy or one of the other combination of both.
And she couldn't just say, yes. Of course people should be trying to be healthy, eat healthy, and exercise. All she said was, we are advocating for what our health experts say and our health experts say take the vaccine.
Period. And imagine that lady goes from there. No, where is she at now? She's got her own show on MSNBC. That is hilarious. That's no different than someone working at the FBA and then getting a job at Pfizer. None. It's the same thing. Now you're on the propaganda wing. Right. And that's how the propaganda wing is created. Yeah. And it's no different than, um,
a governor signing a bunch of bills to screw us all over and getting to president. It's all the same stuff. While we're talking about that, I want to ask you, Tulsi, what is the legal precedent? What is a governor allowed to do? When the governor is saying we might acquire that land and build a monument, which is fucking insane, is that legal? Is that possible? Has that happened?
I don't know that it's happened in any other state. Every state has its own state constitution and its own laws that govern what the governor, what the executive branch of the state is or isn't allowed to do. The concerning thing is that the governor, I think again, it was about a week after this happened, said, I'm having my attorney general look into the legalities of the state taking ownership of the land.
Uh, I'm not aware that, that an answer has come back on that governor green after the, after people were rightly outraged at his statement. He tried to walk it back and say, saying, okay, well, we're not going to allow big developers to come in and steal the land from the people. But, um, the fact that the people's sovereign right to have the decision making power over their own land and their homes.
has not been expressly stated is why everyone there and why all of us are so concerned. Well, you should be so concerned that that's his initial statement. Yes. Then the initial statement is not, how come we can send so much money to Ukraine and we can't send that money to Maui? Right. How come? Because they want us to see that, to lose faith in what's going on, I believe. I mean, they're not excited. I mean, he said what he meant. I mean, he said what he meant. Nothing hit, nothing hit. I just think what it is is there's no financial interest for them to send money to Ukraine.
Excuse me to send money to Maui. There's a financial interest because of the defense contractors the amount of money that's being spent There you go like that's propping up the people that are behind the deep state And I believe just like you in in Hawaii Why don't we have a hundred casino boats down Waikiki and NASCAR tracks and another stadium on the big island and Jobs or people don't have to move awake because nobody has to leave the big island You can fit 15 20 million people over there that place is huge huge nobody has to leave but
I believe, you know, different things. You know, you got a place like, if we had a economy worth like a trillion dollars, what would a Pearl Harbor have to pay every five years? You're talking about real money. You're talking about a lot of money. Pohakuloa, the military base on the top of the big island, that's bigger than the island of Kauai, that one base. And so they're building a residential area right now.
But how much would that residential area cost them? If we actually had an economy, we need every dollar we can get. Hawaii is poor. It's a bank. Completely reliant on people coming in and spending money. And that's all it is. And that didn't happen for two years. But why can't we take that to the next level? 100 casino boats in Waikiki. Everybody with money in their pockets.
I believe the military industrial complex you don't have to pay so much just for Pearl Harbor You know and it gets scary when they start changing because that was the Pearl River when they start changing the name from River to Harbor They're doing that in hilo now with the Y Loa River. It makes you makes you wonder what's coming next, you know Has anybody tried? Has anybody tried to stop casino boats? Has anybody tried to put in casino boats?
The debate around whether or cause what do they call Vegas, the ninth island, right? Because a lot of people from Hawaii go to Vegas, they'll go for the weekend, they'll gamble, then they'll come home. I haven't, I don't know the numbers recently, but for a long time, there's been this debate in Hawaii, whether or not to legalize gambling in the state. We are one of two states that does not allow legal gambling of any sort. Do you have a lot of Hawaii and Utah? We don't have a lot of. We don't want nothing because of these things.
And so even, even, you know, Department of Hawaiian homelands, there are native Hawaiian homestead lands, there have been proposals to build casinos on Hawaiian homestead lands, similar to how they have on Indian reservations in other states. And even that has not passed in the state. And again, I don't know, I don't know, there, there is something in Hawaii where
Again, this is not based on current data, but the arguments I've heard in the past as people are like, hey, we see that there's a lot of negative elements that can go along with casinos. We'd rather fly to Vegas, gamble there, and then come back and keep Hawaii. There are two sides to the argument. I get it, but it's not a universally supported concept. I guess it's my point.
I guess when do you feel I mean of course anything will bring crime I guess people bring crime but you know when you think about Vegas or whatever you know how I haven't been there for a little bit but I mean is there the crime and the crime in Vegas had a bit of an uptick during the pandemic but that's like everywhere in the world.
People were out of work. And also the cops weren't around. Because of the George Floyd protests, there was a lot of defund the police talk everywhere in the country, and things are just more wild. That's calmed down. Vegas seems like Vegas now, just seems normal. They do a great job in kind of squashing as much of crime and violence as they can, considering the massive amount of people that fly in. Look, if you were gonna have,
a casino, you're going to have more trouble. But you're also going to have more money. So the question is, do you believe that people should have the freedom to gamble? I do. I don't even gamble at casinos. But I believe you should be able to gamble. And Hawaii, when we had the 2008 financial collapse, they were talking about and they were ready to put it on the ballot to start letting 18-year-old you drink. So I mean, we're considering letting 18-year-old you drink.
We need jobs, though. Either way, no matter. We're not here to talk about the moral issue of all of that, but we need jobs. None of our people have to leave. Hawaii's, I always say it, that Hawaii's biggest export is our people. The tourists come in on the full plane and the plane leaves empty because we send nothing. Only thing we send is our children to move away to use their labor in another, their labor and their love in another.
And it's hard. I mean, there was a report that just came out that showed Hawaii's highest cost of living in the country and a living wage in Hawaii in order to just live, not do well or be wealthier. The living wage in Hawaii is around $113,000 a year. Holy shit.
113 grand. We have to take care. That's crazy. People working at the valet stand at, you know, Hotel X in Hawaii, I can pretty much guarantee he's not making $113,000 a year. Are the woman who's going in and cleaning the hotel rooms? That's people say, how do people make it? People make it because you've got three or four generations living under one roof. There you go. And that's most people working two jobs. And that's why they moved to Las Vegas because they can live by themselves with their wife and their two kids in a four bedroom house. Or are they going to live with their mom?
Yeah. That's what they're looking at. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. Has there been talk about Hawaii's seceding from the United States? Well, that's always been talking about always. I mean, there's always been a sovereignty movement in Hawaii who point to the overthrow of the Queen. That they don't have a treaty or whatever in these things.
And their effort to return Hawaii back to a sovereign kingdom. It's kind of crazy that it's America and it's five hours over the ocean in a plane. It is changed. That's so crazy.
That's so crazy. Yeah, it is. I mean, wondering, I mean, because I hear it all the time, there is no treaty. There is no treaty signed in this and that, you know. I mean, it's stuff we hear all our whole lives growing up as a kid, but, you know, right now, I think I just, my director that we got to do something now. I mean, the property assessment tax
That's if the guy next to you buys a house for $20 million now you pay the same tax level as this guy and if you were just a generational family with all your kids just Look just like me and her and we're in the house hanging out. How are we gonna pay the taxes? Now based on the property value Yeah, so if the property value goes up your taxes go up and it essentially pushes people out and nobody can nobody can withstand this no it's
It's when we saw this a lot during COVID, too, is a lot of very wealthy people from the mainland were seizing on the opportunity like, hey, if I got to be at home and stuck at home and work from home, I'm going to go do it in Hawaii. And they were throwing down a single family home, not built recently, not fancy, is on the market for 900 grand. They would throw down like $1.5 million cash to scoop that house up off the market.
And this was happening over and over and over again. How does any local family compete with people from the mainland coming in and throwing down millions of dollars cash? And that immediately drives us out. I do admit though, with all of these problems going on in America and with President Biden and everything going on, I see a lot of people who aren't Native Hawaiian trying to go over to that Native Hawaiian movement because
they're scared and they're scared themselves about what everything that's going on.
what are, you know, so everybody are kind of keeping them open mind to different things. I mean, I'm sure when all the coronavirus stuff was happening, so was Texas, so was Florida, you know, everybody had a more open mind is kind of a more independent attitude as moving forward. It's interesting to see that. It is interesting. What's interesting is if there wasn't Florida, and if there wasn't a Texas, there wasn't places that were open,
You know, when I came here, I came here in May of 2020. That's when I was already, I was already like, fuck this. I was already like, it was only a couple months in. I was like, what happened in two weeks? Like, everything shut down. Everything's staying shut down. All my friends that were in the restaurant industry were struggling, hardcore. They lost somewhere in the neighborhood of 70% of the restaurants in Los Angeles.
And now they're coming for the rest. And so when that happened, I started looking out here in May. And I went to a restaurant with my kids. And they were like, we don't have to wear a mask. Like they were sitting down like we needed a restaurant. Like in two months, they were already like, everybody was already freaked out. And then we went to the lake and people like playing music and jumping in the water. And they were like, we want to live here. Right. That'll do it. That was it.
Isn't it crazy how Dr. Evil runs New York, California, and Hawaii? Those are like his three main things that he controls. Isn't it amazing that three best places he controls them?
Well, the concern that people have here is that people are going to move here and vote the same way. And they're going to vote some totalitarian asshole and impose the same sort of laws here. Well, I just think, I mean, they're moving is going to be one thing that will help them. But even on the other side, the fact that we don't heal the childhood trauma from the kids, I mean, in ninth grade, fifth grade, ninth grade,
You know, through high school, there should be classes, communication classes, how for everybody, how for people to get along and communicate. I mean, one of the main things you see, I mean, just in the relationships that we know, I'm sure, just, you know, blame resentment and self-pity and some are so good they could blame you for it and tell you that's why they hate you and that's why they're in the position they're stuck in in life.
I believe we have to do something about that. I don't know if it's a therapy thing. I don't even know if they train the therapist to even work on this stuff. But this child, they're talking about the voting, the hurt children and all these things, that's who's going to follow.
These people, that's who they reach out to. They're definitely not teaching people how to think. That's a real problem. They're certainly not teaching people about all the lies that have already been told. The idea that you're supposed to trust the government, which consistently lies about almost everything.
And now we're supposed to trust the Zapruder field, 12 years late, 12 years late. That makes you wonder. Yeah, things happen much quicker now, obviously, but it all boils down to, when have they not lied? That's what it is. Yeah, that's what it is. What great event has not been somehow another propagandized.
I mean, you'd have to think the elections for Pharaoh back in the day. Do you trust those or like they said, do you trust John Adams and Thomas Jefferson's election when when you were running when you were running for governor? Like what was your experience in terms of like bumping heads with these people?
I think the Republican Party really went against me when I went into the Department of Education because that's why I was running. I mean, I was running for the children and I was running because if you can print all the money you could possibly ever need, why the hell are you asking us for taxes? You know, type of thing.
You know, I would say that's when it started when I went into the education and I told the guy, I said, hey, you got to go. You got to go. Because you walked into the Department of Education building, right? Yeah. And I said, you guys got to go. And I think from that time, you know, whoever the powers that be behind the, it's like the women's league of Republicans, they run the Republican party there. So I think it's lingo, Duke.
dukai ona linda lingo pat psyche and whoever else they put in the top of that thing and you know people say deep state i don't really use that word people say different things but you know a special interest groups but you think about it i walk i'm walking in thinking to try to help it help people and you know that the republicans own the businesses and the democrats keep the money coming from washington so they're gonna love these guys they got their little hui up on the top of a group
You know, that these guys bring all the money, these guys own businesses. So you're really getting shot from both sides. But I think where my, me and my mother talk a lot about different things. And I think she was just kind of bummed out because they came to her for years, the Republican Party, asking for money, asking for money, asking for money. What did you guys give us when we ran, you know, just an enemy. So. So what were you trying to do with the Education Department?
Well, you get the mass off the kids, stop all of that stuff because it was people, I mean, people would say, well, they're not speaking as good and this and that, but we know what that was all about. It was all about making us illiterate. They don't want us to read because then we'll know what's going on, you know, and that's what.
If you ask me, why would you keep that thing on there? But they were also getting, of course, special interest groups. They were getting money, 200 and extra 200. Unfortunately, a lot of people believed in masks back then. Then there's people that believe in it now. They're not like the purveyors of propaganda in a sense that they're not trying to control people. They're just terrified people that are filled with anxiety that wear masks all the time and think you should too. And I know people like that. I think that's a misery and joys company thing a little bit of it too.
Yeah. You know, there's a little bit of a two, but it's also they were they were under the erode. And I've had arguments with people about this. They don't have many more because now the data's out. But people that were saying that mass work, like, yeah, they don't. They don't. They're saying it on CNN now.
So you tell me why you think kids should wear masks, because that's fucking bananas. If they don't work, and they statistically show they don't work, are you just doing this as a theater? Is this a theater to show that you're safe? Is it to make people less anxious? They were getting a lot more money. The Department of Education in Hawaii was getting a certain amount of more money for this from those emergency funds. The emergency funds, whatever. If they comply, so they would get money that they would spend on what?
Good question. Yeah, I wish I knew. I wish I knew. But I mean, you look at these different things. The University of Hawaii gets their money from was getting so much money from Governor Egan. You just look at these different things and they're all just a different department of the state, whether it's called the University of Hawaii or the Department of Health or, you know, whatever it is down the line. They're just all state departments.
When you think about how much fear was fomented around the whole COVID situation, you look at the fear that was fomented around this war in Ukraine saying, if we don't go fight them over here, the Russians are going to come and take over America. When you look at the fear that's fomented around other wars that have been started, you look at the fear that was fomented in the whole post 9 11 era that led to the Patriot Act and total violation of our civil liberties.
In all of these examples, you can see how ultimately what's at the heart of this fomenting of fear by people in power is control. That if they make us afraid as a people, then we will be more accepting of them, taking away our civil liberties and our freedoms, and extending that long arm of Big Brother into some of the most personal parts of our lives.
And that is the ultimate abuse of power. When you look at the rights and freedoms that are enshrined in the Constitution of Bill of Rights, and you see people who have raised their right hand like I did, both as a soldier and a member of Congress, to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, directly taking action intentionally to undermine
our rights and liberties in the Constitution to increase their power. That is what is at the core of the problem that we have in this country right now that our fundamental ideals, values, and principles are being undermined by those who've taken an oath to support and protect them in the Constitution to advance their own selfish interest and their own power. And this is not the Democrat elite are in charge of the White House and in charge of
A lot of the administrative state, we see the politicization of the Department of Justice, of law enforcement agencies, of all of these different entities whose mission it is to serve the people.
being politicized and that power being abused to advance personal and political interest by those in power. That is the biggest threat, the immediate threat that we face in this country. That's it. And what do we do now? What does the American public, the concerned American public, do to try to stop that?
First and foremost, in this age of cancel culture and censorship, we have to exercise our freedoms. They're trying to take them away. We have to make sure that our voices are heard in whatever platform or situation, whatever that is. We have to exercise our freedoms in order to maintain them.
And even as there are challenges in our election process, even though we may not necessarily have the options that we would choose, our democracy was set up to ensure that a government of buy-in for the people. If we the people don't participate in that democracy, we won't have a government of buy-in for the people.
What we need to do is, they're also, sorry, sorry, but also what we need to do are election offices. They have to do a press conference themselves and announce this. I mean, when- Announce the results of the election. Announce the results of the elections. I mean, when I was there, KITV, they did a good interview with me, and then they kept begging me over and over, hey, can we come for the live night, election night at your house? And I said,
No, maybe it's not a good idea. Maybe my brothers might be drinking or something. I don't want anything, any bad press or anything. So they came over and no, they didn't come over. We stopped them from coming over, but they kept asking us for an interview.
So I sat down and I did the interview with them. And then I got up and my buddy goes, hey, that was a good interview. The next thing I walk out the door, the next thing they play is an already edited video. Oh, the primary's over. Here it is. We got the winners, Duke and Green. So they'll go on to the final and I thought.
I sat there for a little bit and I thought, maybe I should have told them to come over KITV. Then I would just go, hey, this is fake and slam their camera on the ground or something. But I thought, huh, the news, the news runs the election. These guys run the election. You know, that was the first time I ever thought that. And then I thought, you know, different things because
Here's the ball. And these guys have criminal or civil and criminal liability. If they say anything, that's why I wonder why they don't do press conferences. So here they got the ball. Now they pass the ball to somebody who has no civil and criminal liability, which is the news.
Right? And now the news is holding the ball and they're the ones, they're the messenger. You know, they say kill the messenger, different things, but they're the messenger. They're the guys who's going to tell everybody about it. So you never hear from this guy, the ball's over on this side. And that's what, I mean, I felt that I saw and anybody who said, and the news will be going like, no, they got the ball.
And look, these people are lying saying, or Trump in them are telling more lies about the election voting machines or Lindell or everything. But I don't know who is who in the zoo. We don't know who's a good guy. We don't know who's a bad guy. We know nothing. We don't know too much of our history. Life's tough to kind of sift through everything going on. And most people don't have the time. Yeah. And we're all stuck in the rat race. There's so many bills going through every day.
I kind of like to think about political stuff, but I don't got the time to find out every bill getting passed through the City County Council. And I grew up with these people, and still, you'll see different things. They were trying to pass this bill.
What they're going to do is they clean up the downtown, but they put a lien on the owner of the property. He gets a lien put on his property. So all the commercial people kind of went along with it and everybody were like, hey, we're just going to pass that bill to you. You're going to pass that bill to your employee. And now they're going to put parking stalls out there. Everybody's just going to go to Walmart. Nobody's going to come to Helos downtown anymore.
Everybody got to kind of wake up, you know, and kind of figure out what's going on a little bit. And these, and so as soon as they were done with Hilo, they didn't get it passed. My mother had to jump on the downtown improvement agency just to get the council to not bring the bill up again because they kept bringing it up. And all they did was pick up and move to Pohoa to get the, that bill passed in Pohoa and then Ka'u or whatever else, whatever else they do, these things. It's a nonstop, it's an onslaught. It's just constantly going, going,
And you can't be on top of all of it. You can't be on top of none of it, because we're all busy. There's all this talk, but it's fascinating. I'm sure you've seen this, but there's a video that shows like 20 minutes of the Democrats denying the results of the elections. Yes. You've seen it, right? Yes. It's really crazy, because it's Hillary Clinton. He's an illegitimate president. He lost the election. The Russians hacked the election. All this crazy stuff.
But when Trump says it, then it becomes a serious threat to our democracy. Well, and as we're seeing now, a prosecutable offense. Yes. In your eyes to say the question that I said. Well, it's one of the things that he's being charged with. Oh, wow. How much veracity is there to these claims? It seems like at least on some local levels, there's a constant theme of catching something.
There's people that are concerned about the voting machines. There's people concerned about ballot dumping. There's people concerned about mail-in ballots. What is your thoughts on that? There is no doubt there are improvements that need to be made to ensure the integrity of our elections. Period. Full stop. This is something that I sought to address while I was in Congress with a very, very simple piece of legislation.
that would have implemented federal funding for each state to require either a paper ballot or a paper record of an electronic vote that's cast.
That way, if there are any questions about the integrity of the election or the vote count, you would have the ability to conduct a paper audit of that election. We've seen time and again through these DEFCON hacking conferences, they have in Vegas almost every year how children, 12, 13, 14 year old kids, go in and they do these demonstrations. Hey, we're going to time you. Can you hack into this voting, electronic voting system from whatever state?
And these kids are able to hack into these systems within minutes. Kids, what to speak of somebody who may try to do a concerted attack and manipulate the outcome of an election. So my bill is very simple. We know these vulnerabilities. States and counties have the federal government does not have the authority to administer elections, period.
That is run by the counties in the states. And that's why the laws are very different and how they choose to do it. So my bill said, OK, well, there is funding that the federal government provides to these counties and states to administer these elections. This federal funding should come with a baseline requirement that these elections are auditable by having some form of a paper record.
Nobody in Congress was interested in passing that legislation. Of course not. Even though we had statistics, and I believe this was in 2017, where the state of Virginia has, or the Commonwealth of Virginia, as they say, has off-year elections. So they don't hold their statewide elections on the same year, even numbered years.
And that year they had was the first year that they had implemented 17 or 19, but they had first implemented having some form of a paper record. And it was the year that they did not get a single question. The state office of elections did not get a single question or complaint about the integrity of their elections. And they did it because they saw, oh gosh, these electronic voting systems are really vulnerable. We need to do something about it. And they took action.
The fact that this is not the case across the country is very concerning. It is concerning that you see so many of the Democrat elite dismiss people who merely ask questions about voter fraud. Well, no, no, no, it doesn't occur. When I was in Congress, I shared a house with my sister and her husband there in D.C. when election time came around, they got a few ballots from the previous owners of the home who had since been deceased.
I don't know how many people in the country are getting ballots mailed to them to be filled out at home and returned with the names of people who died and there's no verification of that. So there are very clear steps that can and should be taken to increase and improve the integrity of our elections that the whole
Oh gosh, the ballot stuffing where they pay people to go out and get ballots filled up in older care homes and these other places, there are a lot of questions around that process and ensuring the integrity that need to be addressed. But even if you won, let's say you did win, even though you don't know, say you won.
forces the news to tell the truth of who won. There's no election law. There's no election law that the news is under. There's no law of anything, right? That they have to say this. They're under no civil or criminal liability to say anything. So even if you win the election, that's why I wonder when Stephen Trump or Lindell come in and they start talking about the mail-in ballots or the voting stuff.
how come nobody's talking about the guy who tells everybody who won we never got our whole lives we never got to see the phone call that they say they got when all they just called us right now and so and so on now they even do it before now they even do it like a project projection style before the county's even done they what they they say who won i mean we gotta kill the messenger we we have to make a law
that has a press conference. If you're going to announce something, if Dana's going to announce something, everybody, we've always done press conferences. That's what we do. That's what people do. They do press conferences and the press comes. But this one, they call the press behind our backs and the press says it.
You know, is that an accident? And the whole time we're looking here, the ball's over here, but what about these guys? Are we never going to look at these guys? I'm waiting for Trump to say, well, let's go look at these guys for a little bit. We didn't see what happened. And it makes you wonder, why does CNN, Google, like you said, it's been curated.
Fox and all these people why do there is nothing that holds them to that they got to tell the truth What we need is the press conference. So if the guy doesn't tell the truth He's incriminating himself right there. He works for the he works for the government I'm sure he's has to have signed some kind of oath Some whether civil or criminal liability that he has to tell the truth and then have a case Just if that was the case with the news they had to tell the truth like they would be in a lot of trouble
Like, just imagine just the war in Iraq, just the weapons of mass destruction, just the, I mean, the Russia collusion scam that they talked about forever, that the people responsible for that are totally being taken seriously in other manners. Yeah, and that is, I mean, it is not when people in the mainstream media talk about the elections and election fraud and outside forces coming in and trying to
undermine and usurp our elections. They obviously never talk about themselves and how much propaganda they put out to create this facade of a democracy where essentially they work with the power elite in Washington from one party or another and they
They basically decide, hey, here's the people that we were okay with voters being exposed to. These are the acceptable people. And here's the people who are unacceptable to the elite, and therefore, we got to destroy them. And this is what I went through when I ran for president in 2020, the Democratic primary from the very first day I announced through the entire campaign.
It was, it was already decided that I was not a candidate that they found acceptable. We were seeing the very, and so they did everything they could to discredit and smear and, you know, media blackout. You were a Russian asset. Exactly. And no member of the media ever said, oh, really? What evidence do you have of that? Right.
They just, they, they repeated the line over and over and over again. And it worked. People believed it. Yeah. And you're seeing the same thing happening now with RFK. They decided, hey, this guy is speaking way too much truth. And so we're going to do everything we possibly can to block voters from, from hearing him. And we are going to try to smear and discredit him with lies so that if they do hear him, they're not going to believe what he says. Yeah. I mean, anything,
So many things are you wonder from the news. So if the news isn't true, what about history? And it's the funniest thing me and my friend talking the other day and we're like, yeah, we came to the agreement that you walk in. What's the only thing you don't see in the cave when you look at all those
all those different pictures of UFOs and dinosaurs and stuff. You don't see a caveman. You don't see, you know? So it's funny. It's funny what is out there and what we take as fact and what we... What do you mean by that with the cave people?
No, no, you know, they all the different drawings that you see dinosaurs. Yeah, just the different stuff, but you they never drew each other. Yeah, like you never really see you never see a cave man. That's funny. I never even thought about that. I don't know. I thought it's a notice. I guess people just died so quick back then they didn't really.
When you question everything, I mean, University of Hawaii wants to own the Native Hawaiian's history and they get so aggressive all the time, you know, the professors in this and that. And I'm like, you're just taking money from the state. They're just another department, like all the others. And, you know, it does.
You know, it makes me wonder the different things that, you know, they say they say they are from a petroglyph that they made this boat and we came across the ocean and different things. And, you know, being from Hilo, we are the ones who always get hit from the tsunami. So I'm like, hey, man, how do we get hit from the tsunamis if we knew about the water so well? I mean, it just, it makes you, makes you wonder, you know, it makes you wonder. I think the thing that, that, um,
is so alarming is that you know again i'm going back to the the funding for ukraine the fact that there are democrats and republicans uh... in congress who have blocked every attempt of accountability for how that money is being spent how our money is being spent
says it all. They don't want us to know where that money is going. They don't want us to know how it's being used. They don't want the corruption that continues in Ukraine to be exposed. They don't want us to know the truth. They just want us to continue to support them writing this with this blank check, essentially, without any justification and tearing people down who just say, hold on a second. How does spending hundreds of billions of dollars of our money
Help us. How does it help the American people? How does it help our national security interests? It doesn't help us and it undermines our national security interests because the consequence of this that we are directly facing because of the Biden administration and the warmongers in Washington is we are now closer to the brink of nuclear war than ever before. How has that made us safer? It hasn't. And 10% for the big guy.
Which the fact that no Democrat in Washington, no Democrat in Washington that I've heard at least, and I've been watching pretty closely, has stood up and said, well hold on a second, all of this evidence that's coming out, more and more evidence that's coming out about the corruption of Hunter Biden and President Biden's culpability in that entire mess.
No one is saying, hey, we should, we should probably look into this. They're dismissing it all and saying, oh, you know, uh, the only thing Joe Biden talked about with Hunter Biden's, uh, you know, uh, Ukrainian Bisma executive counterparts, they talked about the weather. Yeah. I heard a congressman say this like to the media is like, what do you guys even worried about? All he talked about was the weather.
Yeah. They flew over to Ukraine. He flew over to Ukraine in 2015 with his son to talk about the weather. To talk about the weather. And then when they came and visited Hunter in DC and Hunter called his dad and they talked about the weather. And isn't there somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 million dollars that they got from that?
Yeah, I mean, I think that's that's what I've heard has been accounted for yeah But then you know you hear all kinds of things like oh well How is it that you know Joe Biden's grandchildren? Have five million dollars in their trust account like where does that like who I don't know but the fact that they're not even that that there is not just an accepted
Standard in Washington saying, well, these accusations are being made. There is evidence in communications, written evidence that couldn't have been fabricated. We, as elected representatives of the people, have a responsibility to objectively investigate this and see where it leads. And same in Hawaii, right?
