NOT TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT RED HILL, WATER.# HR1.

NOT SEEING JUSTICE.# NO ACCOUNTABILITY AND AS A THREE OF# US ARE HERE RUNNING FOR LEGISLATORS,## NOT THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT.

KIDS ARE WATCHING HOME.# WE'RE TAUGHT IN SCHOOL TRIANGLE, EXECUTIVE# LEGISLATIVE AND JUDICIAL.

LEGISLATIVE WE'RE## TRYING OUR BEST TO WRITE A BILL ON CAPITOL# HILL TO EMPOWER PEOPLE SUPPORT ALONG THE WAY.# WE, THE PEOPLE PLATFORM ONLY TWO PEOPLE.

KRISHNA AND ME, FINANCES TO OURSELVES## TO GIVE HEART.

>> MAUNA#KEA.# 2019 AFTER THE KUPUNA GOT RESTED.

>> ANDRE, PUA I DIDN'T HAVE THESE GLASSES ON.# HIGHWAY A BATMAN MASK ON.

WENT TO AIR FORCE VETERAN.# OVER WATCH.

HIGH GROUND.

CAME BACK DOWN## KICKED OFF MOUNTAIN FIRST TIME.

NATATO JACKETS.# NOBODY SPEAKS JAPANESE ON THE MOUNTAIN.

SO WE MADE A TI LEAF HOUSE.# PIKACHU WITH WOODEN SPOON# STRINGING TI LEAF ON A FRAME.# WE PROVED HOW TO BUILD YOUR OWN HOUSE.

SOLVED WORLD ECONOMIC CRISIS## CUTTING DOWN MAKING OWN HALE.

DIDN'T PUT SHELBY ON THE NEWSPAPER.# PUT PIKACHU.

SHELBY IS IGNORED LIKE BATMAN.# >> BRUCE WAYNE.

SHOULD BE BASED ON CHARACTER.# MASTERS DECREASE.

DOCTORATE.# VETERANS MARINE, AIR FORCE,.

IF I FROM THE CHAIR FORCE, LONGITUDE.# ISRAEL, KOREA, ILLUMANA IT.

I.# JESUS CHRIST GOT KILLED.

NOT ABOUT ME.# IT'S ABOUT THE KIDS AND SUPPOSED TO# BE WE LIKE THE.COM DECLARATION OF## INDEPENDENCE THEY DON'T REALLY FOLLOW.

>>Lauren: YOU WEAR IT EVERY DAY?# >> WAL-MART SHOPPING, I DON'T EVEN HAVE KIDS.

I'M NOT MARRIED.# BUT PUTTING ON MY NIECE, GIRLS HEY, CUTE DAD.

TALKING TO ME, NOT MY KID.# >>Lauren: RECOGNIZE FROM YOU THE GLASSES.

GET TO ISSUES, WHY YOU RUNNING?# I WANT TO HEAR A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT MAKES# YOU THINK QUALIFIED FOR THE EXPERIENCE OF JOB## OF U.S.

SENATOR.

GO TO YOU FIRST.# YOU COULD ALSO EVEN INCLUDE A LITTLE BIT MORE# ON SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO YOU.# >> THANKS FOR HAVING US TO BE HERE TONIGHT.

NERVOUS I STARTED STATE LEGISLATOR IN 1996.# IN AND OUT GOT ELECTED TWO# DIFFERENT PARTS OF ISLAND.# BUSINESS EXPERIENCE, RAN A NONPROFIT FOR 12 YEARS.

RAN THE NAVY LEAGUE FOR 12## YEARS IN THE MARINE CORPS.

WHAT BROUGHT ME HERE AND MET THE LOVE OF MY LIFE.# MY WIFE.

24.# BEEN MARRIED FOR 37 YEARS.

SHE'S A LOCAL GIRL.# AND WE HAVE 8 CHILDREN.

I REALLY LIVE THE HAWAII EXPERIENCE.# AND I SEE THINGS HAPPENING AND THIS SOUNDS LIKE# A CLICHE, BUT THE POLITICIANS DON'T LISTEN.# >> GUYS JUST DON'T CARE.

HOW THIS STUFF STARTED.

CAME## FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

COVID EMERGENCY EDUCATION.# 23% OF THAT MONEY IN THE COVID BILL, ABOUT# $90#MILLION, FOR THE STATE OF HAWAII,## IS CRITICAL RACE THEORY AND GENDER IDEOLOGY.

PAPA I'M A BOY.# WHERE THE HECK DID THAT COME?

DIDN'T COME FROM OUR HOME.# COULD HAVE COME FROM THE TEACHER OR SCHOOL.

CAME FROM SOMEWHERE.# GOT TO STOP.

WE ARE DESTROYING THESE CHILDREN.# THAT'S MY PASSION.

I WANT TO PROTECT CHILDREN.# THEY'RE NOT DOING IT.

>>Lauren: WHAT ARE SOME## MAYBE SECOND AND THIRD TOP PRIORITY ISSUES?

>> HOW DO YOU SAY WHAT'S TOP PRIORITY?# SO FIRST, GOT DECOMMISSION RED HILL.

IT'S NOT CLOSE.# BALLOON GOES UP WITH CHINA.

FILL IT UP AGAIN.

>> GOT TO BE DECOMMISSIONED I BLEW## THE WHISTLE ON RED HILL.

YOU CAN GO MY FACEBOOK PAGE.# CAME OUT ABOUT SIX WEEKS# BEFORE THAT THING WENT BAD.# ASKED GOVERNOR IGE TO SHUT IT DOWN.

>> DECLARE STATE OF EMERGENCY AND SHUT IT DOWN.# MAZIE HIRONO NOT HERE TONIGHT, WATCH# THE VIDEO AND SEE WHAT SHE HAD TO SAY.# AND I WANT TO CLOSE FORT SHAFTER AND GIVE# THAT 600#ACRES BACK TO THE NATIVE HAWAIIAN.# MILITARY GUY, I KNOW FORT SHAFTER# IS NOT MISSION CRITICAL.

TAKE THAT## 600#ACRES GIVE TO THE NATIVE HAWAIIAN.

INFRASTRUCTURE IS, CAN PUT HOUSES ON IT.# SHAFTER MISSION CAN BE EASILY PUT OVER# IN SCHOFIELD RETAIN THE JOBS AND REVENUE.# AND I DON'T WANT TO FILIBUSTER.

MORE WE CAN TALK ABOUT.# INTO STICK TO THE ORDER AND BE ABLE TO CHIME IN.

TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCE,## WHY DO YOU FEEL YOU'RE QUALIFIED FOR THE JOB.

>> HEARD FROM YOU EARLIER, ENVIRONMENT,## WATER, IS YOUR TOP PRIORITY ISSUE.

ARE THERE OTHER ISSUES THAT WILL ALSO## VERY IMPORTANT TO YOU.

>> YES.# I BELIEVE THAT I AM MOST QUALIFIED FOR# THE POSITION BECAUSE I AM A LAWYER.# I DID STUDY POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY# AND POLITICAL SCIENCE AT USC AND## SPECIFICALLY PLATO, ARISTOTLE AND SOCRATES,# I HAVE FASCINATION WITH SOCIETAL ENGINEERING.# AND I'VE ALSO WAS A WATER# LAWYER IN CALIFORNIA WHERE## I PROVIDED GENERAL COUNCIL TO WATER DISTRICTS.

PRETTY FAMILIAR WITH HOW GOVERNMENT OBVIOUSLY## RUNS AND WHAT HOW TO NAVIGATE REGULATORY# BODIES TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE IN COMPLIANCE.# NOW, SO TO IS WHAT I BELIEVE MAKES ME# EXTREMELY QUALIFIED BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY I## DRAFTED LEGISLATION AND IN FACT, I DID# ALSO DRAFT LEGISLATION TO HOPEFULLY,## WELL, I DRAFTED LEGISLATION TO BAN# CAPTIVITY OF DOLPHINS IN HAWAII.# SO PART OF BEING A U.S.

SENATOR OBVIOUSLY.

THERE'S HUGE COMPONENT TO IT.# IT'S NOT JUST BEING ABLE TO# DRAFT AND WRITE LEGISLATION.# BUT I DO THINK IS IMPORTANT THAT OUR# LEGISLATORS KNOW HOW TO READ THESE DOCUMENTS.# ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THE FACT THAT A LOT# OF LEGISLATION THAT'S PASSED NOWADAYS ARE## UP THE BALLPARK OF THREE TO 500 PAGE.

A LOT OF THINGS GET THROWN IN THERE.# IF MY, AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, A LOT OF# POLITICIANS DON'T REALLY GIVE IT UP THOUGHT.# SO I DO BELIEVE THAT THAT PUTS ME NAY# VERY UNIQUE POSITION WHERE I'M ABLE TO## BE IN MANY WAYS SORT OF STEP ABOVE THE# LEGISLATORS THAT ARE ALREADY IN OFFICE.# AND SO BUT ASIDE FROM THAT, MY PLATFORM REALLY# IS CENTERED ON FUNDAMENTAL CORE PRINCIPLES.# SO WATER IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING.

>> WE MUST CLEAN OUR WATER.# AFTER WATER IS OBVIOUSLY EDUCATION.

EDUCATION WE MUST EDUCATE OUR KEIKI.# WE MUST REBUILD OUR SCHOOLS.

WE MUST REBUILD OUR AGRICULTURAL INDUSTRY.# IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE FOLKS# ON FUNDAMENTAL CORE PRINCIPLES.# WHEN WE WORK ON REBUILDING HAWAII.

SO THIS IS WHY I BELIEVE I'M## QUALIFIED TO BE U.S.

SENATOR.

I BELIEVE THAT I HAVE THE EDUCATIONAL## QUALIFICATIONS AS WELL AS THE UNDERSTANDING OF# HOW POLITICS OPERATE IN TERMS OF ITS MECHANICS.# AND HOW THE GOVERNMENT OPERATES.

WILL ALLOW ME TO MAKE MORE## EFFECTIVE CHANGE AND YEAH.

>>Lauren: WHAT ABOUT FOR YOU?# YOU MENTIONED FENTANYL, CRISIS# WE'RE SEEING ACROSS THE COUNTRY.# ONE OF YOUR TOP PRIORITY ISSUES.

YOU CAN EXPAND ON SOME OTHER THINGS THAT## YOU FEEL YOU'RE PASSIONATE ABOUT.

>> SURE.# I FEEL I'M QUALIFIED FOR THIS# JOB, WHERE WE'RE APPLYING FIRE JOB## TO WRITE BILLS ON CAPITOL HILL, KNOWS# CONJUNCTION, JUNCTION WHAT'S YOUR FUNCTION SONG.# GREW UP IN SALVATION ARMY PRESCHOOL.

THEY TAUGHT ME CHARLES DARWIN SUPPOSED## TO TURN FROM A MONKEY INTO A HUMAN BEING.

SEEN A CATERPILLAR BECOME A BUTTERFLY.# CHILDREN BECOME SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL.

NO ACCOUNTABILITY.# IF HAD AN OFFICE, AND SERIOUS, GET 20 STAFF# MEMBERS, GETS PAID MORE THAN A U.S. SENATOR.# $200,000.

DEPUTY CHIEF OF STAFF $184,000.# THIS JOB $174,000, DON'T GET A HOUSE OR CAR,# CASH, KIDS FROM WAINAE WRITE A BILL ON CAPITAL## TO BLANKET EVERYBODY PROBLEM WEST SIDE, CALLED# MAZIE'S OFFICE THE CAN'T WRITE A BILL FOR THE## HAWAIIANS OR PEOPLE IN WAIANAE.

FEDERAL DISCRIMINATION.# >> MIND SET HAS TO CHANGE GOING TO BE ADDRESSING# ISSUES ABOUT THE ECONOMY HOUSING, MEDICAL,## DENTAL, YES, TASK FORCE, MY PROFESSIONAL# OPINION, MITCH ROTH IS DIRTY, THE MAYOR.# HAD TO DEBATE WITH KIMO.

>> CAN I TELL WHERE THE COCAINE COMING FROM.# >> FENTANYL COMING FROM.

>> CODE NAMES.# WHO RUNS DRUGS.

THROUGH PEOPLE.# WE'RE DEALING WITH SERIOUS BAD VILLAINS.

IF YOU DON'T SPEAK SPANISH, SPEAK SPANISH.# NUMBER ONE LANGUAGE.

YOU MUST BE VERY GOOD.# GET INTO DC.

EAST COAST IS BUSINESS.# WEST COAST, TOO MUCH FEELINGS.

>> AIN'T GOT TIME.# GOT STUFF DO.

>>Lauren: GET TO THE ISSUES## SO WE CAN EXPAND A LITTLE BIT MORE ON THAT.

WHAT'S COME UP A LOT, RED HILL WATER CRISIS.# WATER IMPORTANT TO YOU.

BOB SOMETHING THAT YOU## HAVE SPOKEN A LOT ABOUT AS WELL.

COUPLE VIEW YOU ARE QUESTION.# FIRST QUESTION, GROUP THEM TOGETHER.

BECAUSE I KNOW WE'RE GOING TO HAVE## SOME OTHER TOPICS THAT VIEWERS ARE GOING# TO WANT TO HEAR FROM THE THREE OF YOU ON.# REALLY.

HOW DO YOU FEEL CRISIS WAS HANDLED AND## WHAT DO YOU THINK MORE NEEDS TO BE DONE TO REPAIR# THE TRUST BETWEEN OUR COMMUNITY AND THE MILITARY?# BEFORE I LET YOU ANSWER THAT, I# KIND OF GROUPING THEM TOGETHER.# I WANT TO READ SOME OF OUR# VIEWER COMMENTS ON SAME TOPIC.# SARAH ASKING, WHAT SPECIFICALLY DO YOU# MEAN WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT HOLDING MILITARY## RESPONSIBLE AND HOW CAN THE MILITARY CLEAN# THE WATER IF THE FUEL IS IN THE AQUIFER?# JUST STOP, COUPLE OF QUESTIONS# WRAPPED INTO ONE TOPIC.# I'LL LET EITHER OF YOU JUMP# IN IF YOU WANT TO START.# >> MILITARY WORKS FOR US.

WORK FOR# THE CIVILIAN COMMUNITY OR CONDIT TO## THEM IS CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION.

THEY NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.# SENT OUT, BIGGEST RESPONSIBILITY IS IN CHARGE# OF MOWING THE LAWN AND GUY GETS BEAT UP.# HE'S NOT THE DECISIONMAKER.

THIS IS NATIONAL SECURITY ISSUE.# U.S.

SENATORS COULD HAVE SHUT THAT THING DOWN.

BUT THEY DIDN'T.# IN FACT, CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION# AT THE TIME INTRODUCED BILL AFTER I## MADE IT PUBLIC AND BANGING ON IT FOR MONTHS,# PEOPLE STARTED TO JUMPING ON THE BAND WAGON.# GOT SO FULL, THREW ME OFF.

ANOTHER SORE STORY.# INTRODUCED BILL TO CLOSE RED HILL.

ONE OF THE MEMBERS OF THE FOUR## DIDN'T SIGN THAT BILL.

TO CLOSE RED HILL.# GUESS WHO THAT WAS?

PERSON NOT HERE TONIGHT.# DIDN'T SIGN THAT BILL.

SO WHY WOULD THAT BE?# SHE WAS ACTUALLY SUBCOMMITTEE CHAIRMAN# IN THE DOD SUBCOMMITTEE CHAIRMAN.# COULD HAVE GOT THE BILL HEARD# COULD HAVE BEEN CLOSED TODAY.# IT'S STILL OPEN.

THERE'S STILL FUEL IN THAT THING.# IT IS NOT DECOMMISSIONED.

WITH THEY EMPTIED TANKS, YEAH.# FILL THEM ON TOMORROW.

ALL PERSON HAS TO DO SAY FILL THEM UP.# THAT'S IT.

NEEDS TO BE DISMANTLED.# COMMUNITY WANTS TO DEAL WITH THAT.

CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION FIGHTS FOUR.# >> THAT'S THEIR JOB.

THREAT ME TELL YOU DRIVE## UP THERE AS A STATE LEGISLATOR R WHEN# YOU GO UP THERE, TREAT YOU LIKE A KING.# PARKING SPACE.

COME IN SEE THE FOUR STAR.# VERY DIFFERENTIAL.

IMAGINE U.S.

SENATOR GOING IN THERE.# IF YOU HAD, TWO ONE DEMOCRAT AND REPUBLICAN.

CLOSE IT.# SHUT DOWN.

FOUR PEOPLE SLEEP WALKING.# KAI KAHELE DID SHOW SOME DETERMINATION THERE.

>> BUT THE REST OF THEM WERE SLEEP WALKING.# TOOK A MONTH TO REACH CONCLUSION THAT I# MADE STAFF OF ONE WHO IS A RECEPTIONIST.# >>Yunji: GOING BACK TO ELECTED.

WHAT ESPECIALLY DO YOU MEAN WHEN## YOU TALK ABOUT HOLDING MILITARY RESPONSIBLE?

IF YOU WERE ELECTED, WHAT WOULD YOU DO TO## HOLD THEM RESPONSIBLE?

>> MILITARY IS NOT THE## ONE WE SHOULD HOLD RESPONSIBLE.

IT'S OUR CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION.# THEY WERE SLEEP AT THE WHEEL.

HOW DOES STATE LEGISLATOR FROM EWA BEACH## COME OUT AND SAY, WE NEED TO CLOSE RED HILL?

ALL I DID WAS READ THE COURT FILING.# LEAKING 5800#GALLONS A YEAR IT INTO THAT MOUNTAIN.

2,735,000#GALLONS SINCE STARTED KEEPING RECORDS.# 275#GALLONS, DIDN'T KEEP# RECORDS FIFTIES AND SIXTIES.# OVER A MILLION GALLONS WENT INTO THAT MOUNTAIN.

>>Lauren: WHAT DO YOU THINK THE THREE OF YOU## NEEDS TO BE DONE TO REPAIR THAT TRUST# BETWEEN MILITARY AND OUR COMMUNITY?# LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU ON THIS TOPIC.

SOMETHING YOU'RE PASSIONATE ABOUT.# >> YEAH.

THE DOD NEEDS TO GET THOSE TANKS OUT OF THERE.# SO I FIND IT INCREDIBLY UNACCEPTABLE THAT# THERE ARE NO PLANS TO REMOVE THESE TANKS.# AND AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, WHOEVER CAME UP# WITH THE ABSOLUTELY NOT BRILLIANT IDEA OF PUTTING## FUEL TANK, 100#FEET ABOVE WATER AQUIFER,# THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I THINK IS REALLY,## REALLY IMPORTANT FOR THE COMMUNITY TO UNDERSTAND.

THESE TANKS WERE BUILT 100#FEET ABOVE A WATER## AQUIFER THAT IS SUPPLIES WATER TO A# APPROXIMATELY 77% OF OAHU'S RESIDENTS.# I GUARANTEE YOU THIS NUMBER IS CLOSER TO THE 80%.

SO AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, THE DOD NEEDS TO MAKE## IN THEIR ONE PRIORITY.

IN HAWAII.# THIS NEEDS TO BE THE ONE THING.

THAT WHEN THEY WAKE UP IN THE MORNING,## WHAT CAN I DO, WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO# TODAY TO GET THESE TANKS OUT OF HERE?# SO YOU KNOW, THE REALITY IS THAT WE'RE FACED# WITH THE SITUATION WHERE THEY'RE STILL FINDING## WELLS THAT HAVE BEEN CONTAMINATED BY THIS CRISIS.

WE DON'T KNOW THE EXTENT OF THE CONTAMINATION.# SO MY SOLUTION, THIS IS WHAT I BELIEVE# IS THE MOST, FASTEST SOLUTION TO REALLY## DEAL WITH THAT PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY.

>> DOD NEEDS TO BUILD MILITARY GRADE## WATER CATCHMENT SYSTEMS.

WE NEED TO START BUILDING## WATER INFRASTRUCTURE IN HAWAII.

WE NEED TO START REALLY, REALLY THINKING ABOUT## WATER INFRASTRUCTURE AND HOW CAN WE CAPTURE WATER.

THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO CAPTURE WATER## IMMEDIATELY IS THROUGH RAIN CAPTURE.

SO THE MILITARY CAN SET UP A BUNCH OF## RAIN CATCHMENT SYSTEMS ALL AROUND THE PLACE# TO CATCH WATER THAT IS COMING FROM THE SKY## AND GET PEOPLE AWAY AND GET PEOPLE AWAY FROM# THE WATER AQUIFER UNTIL WE CAN DETERMINE WHAT## THE LEVEL OF CONTAMINATIONS, I THINK WATER IS# GOING TO BE A VERY PROCESS, WE DON'T HAVE A## FILTER THAT CAN FILTER THESE FOREVER CHEMICALS.

THERE NEEDS TO BE FOCUS NEED TO BE ON WATER## BUILDING TECHNOLOGY, BUILDING INFRASTRUCTURE.

CAPTURING RAIN WATER, FINDING NEW SOURCES## OF WATER THAT WE CANNOT ONLY TAKE FOR# DRINKING WATER, BUT MAKE SURE WE PROTECT## IT FOR THE FUTURE GENERATIONS.

>>Lauren: DUI WANT TO MOVE ON.# GETTING BUNCH OF QUESTIONS.

GOING TO ACTUAL JOB ITSELF, IF THE THREE OF YOU## WERE TO BE ELECTED NEWCOMERS ON IN THE SENATE.

ON THE JOB.# YOU KNOW HAWAII IS A SMALL STATE.

SO HOW WOULD YOU REPRESENT MAKE SURE## OUR NEEDS ARE MET.

YOUR VOICE HEARD.# START WITH YOU.

>> GREAT.# I WOULD DO SPONSORSHIPS WITH BIG# ISLAND CANDIES ALL THE LOCAL STUFF.# AND 100 SENATORS YOU MUST CONVINCE 438 ELECTORAL# COLLEGE IMAGINE ONE WAIANAE GUY TRYING TO CONVINCE## ALL OF THESE GUYS TO GET THE BILL APPROVED.

TO EMPOWER ONLY HAWAII.# ER QUID PRO QUO.

KNOW HOW TO PLATE GAME.# NO FOOD AND CAFETERIA DON'T# GET FED, BECOMING SENATOR.# NEITHER DOES THE STAFF.

REALIZED IF YOU#FEED THE PEOPLE, TAKE CARE OF YOU.# >> MACADAMIA NUTS HAWAIIAN COFFEE.

MEAT JUN, SPAM MUSUBIS, CAN'T OFFER THEM MONEY.# >> THAT'S BRIBERY.

I COOK AND CLEAN.# SHOW YOU PIKACHU HAS HEART.

WEST SIDE STYLE.# GOING TO WATER, SOME TIME ABOUT THIS, I# TALKED TO KALANI, I KNOW EXACTLY THE PLANS.# WITH LANCE OKAMURA.

DEFUEL, DECOMMISSION PLAN.# GET THE SLUDGE OUT OF IT.

THEY'RE STUCK TO THE BOTTOM.# GET THE SUPERKIRBY VACUUM CLEANER.

CAN'T PUT HUMANS THERE.# SUPER DERIVATION.

CANNOT SEE.# SUCK ALL THE SLUDGE OUT MANUALLY,# GOING TO DIFFERENTIATE THE WEIGHT.# OF THE OTHER 19.

ONE TIPS ALL GO.# COME WEST TO THE AQUIFER.

ACCOUNTABILITY THREE LANCE OKAMURA TALKED TO HIM,## IF POTUS, PRESIDENT OF UNITED STATES, DONALD# TRUMP, JOE BIDEN, KAMALA HARRIS, GIVE IT BACK.# >> THEY DO IT.

DOLLAR A YEAR LEASE.# BIRD CENTER.

UNFAIR.# HOW ARE WE GOING HOLD UP JUSTICE.

I BELIEVE IN SARAH FROM HALEIWA.# CONGRESSMAN I'M GOING TO CLEAN IT UP TOO.

PUTS IN THERE.# MAKE THE STATE REPS DO IT MUCH CALL# THE DOD.

CONTRACT CONTRACTORS EPA.# WILLIAM AILA.

KALI WATSON.# PEEK DOES NOT CARE ANSWERS DONE SHELBY# PIKACHU BILLIONAIRE HAS HAWAII STYLE.# TO MAKE SURE HAWAII VOICE IS HEARD.

IF ELECTED.# IF YOU'RE OUR SENATOR, HOW WOULD# YOU MAKE SURE THAT HAWAII GETS## FEDERAL SUPPORT THAT WE NEED?

>> TALK ABOUT HAWAII'S VOICE.# I GOT 8 CHILDREN.

NONE OF THEM CAN BUY A HOUSE RIGHT NOW.# THE COST OF GAS LAST FOUR YEARS HAS DOUBLED.

THE DEMOCRATS JOE BIDEN SAID ON CAMERA I WANT## TO PUT FOSSIL FUEL OUT OF BUSINESS.

ELECTRIC CAR CHARGES WITH OIL.# 5.07 OVER HERE.

>> INSAME.# THAT COST OF ENERGY BLEEDS OVER INTO EVERYTHING.

MATSON SHIPPINGS LOS ANGELES DOUBLED BECAUSE## THE PRICE OF FUEL DOUBLES.

TRUCK# TAKES SOMEONE SOMEWHERE, DOUBLED.# >> INFLATION 30% OVER THE LAST FOUR YEARS.

>> CONSUMER PRICE UNINDEX, 23%.# DON'T COUNT.

HOUSING FOOD, AND GASOLINE.# THREE THINGS YOU JUST DON'T REALLY NEED.

THAT'S STILL A HUGE NUMBER.# SO COST OF LIVING IS HUGE FOR OUR LOCAL PEOPLE.

>>Lauren: WHAT I WAS TRYING TO ASK IS IF ELECT.# YOU WOULD BE NEW ON THE JOB.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO TO MAKE SURE## YOUR VOICE IS HEARD THAT THE POLICIES AND# ISSUES THAT YOU WANT THAT'S FACING HAWAII,## WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO MAKE SURE THAT GETS HEARD# AMONGST COLLEAGUES IN THE IN THE FOR MANY YEARS.# >> I GUESS I WOULD SAY, WAS EFFECTIVE IN# THE STATE LEGISLATURE AS A REPUBLICAN.# WOULD IS THE GUY BLUE THE WHISTLE ON RED HILL?

RADFORD HIGH SCHOOL LIVE ORDNANCE.# >> I'M NOT IN OFFICE ANY MORE.

BE WILLING TO GO AGAINST THE GRAIN.# HAWAII COMES FIRST.

>>Lauren: WHAT ABOUT FOR YOU MAKE## SURE YOUR VOICE IS HEARD AS A STATE SENATOR.

>> SOMEONE WHO WAS INSPIRES TO THE BE UNITED## STATES SENATOR I LIKE TO THINK OF# MY VOICE AS THE VOICE OF COLLECTIVE.# I LIKE TO THINK OF MYSELF WHEN I SPEAK ON TOP.

>> NOT JUST TOPICS THAT I CAME UP WITH ON MY OWN,# SHARED IDEAS AMONGST OUR COMMUNITY.

SO AS THE U.S.

SENATOR, IT WOULD BE MY GOAL## TO ENLIGHTEN DC AS TO THE# ISSUES THAT ARE HAPPENING HERE.# BECAUSE AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, OUR# CURRENT REPRESENTATIVES ARE NOT DOING THAT.# THEY ARE NOT DOING US JUSTICE.

ALL WAI IS THE MOST ONE OF THE## MOST CONTAMINATED WATER BODIES EVER SEEN# AM IN MY LIFE OF BIOHAZARD MIDDLE HONOLULU.# LITERALLY JUST TRASH.

THIS IS IN THE MIDDLE HONOLULU.# GOVERNOR'S OFFICE IS RIGHT THERE.

SO AS A U.S.

SENATOR, IT WOULD BE MY JOB## TO MAKE SURE THAT I GO TO DC AND BASICALLY JUST# START RUNNING AROUND MAKING SURE THAT EVERYBODY## KNOWS THIS IS WHAT IS HAPPENING IN HAWAII.

THIS IS THE MONEY THAT WE NEED.# WE NEED XY AND Z AND NEED IT NOW.

AND SO THAT'S WHAT, BECAUSE THAT'S## HOW I SEE THE ROLE AS U.S.

SENATOR.

YOU ARE THE VOICE OF THE COLLECTIVE.# SO I GO IN THERE AND I BE THE VOICE.

I'M THE VOICE.# >>Lauren: GET TO SOME OF THE VIEWER YESES.

ALAN HALE#IWA GLOBAL ISSUE.# SITUATION BETWEEN ISRAEL AND IRAN.

WHAT POLICY AND HOW DO YOU THINK YOU CAN SUGGEST## TO MEDIATE THE ISSUE BETWEEN ISRAEL AND IRAN?

>> I'M A MEDIATOR.# SO I HAVE A TIME AND TIME AGAIN, OFFERED# MEDIATION SERVICES TO GOVERNMENT AGENCIES.# AND I'M HAPPY TO MEDIATE ANY WAR ON EARTH.

AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, THE MAJORITY OF ISSUES,## THIS IS A HOT BUTTON TOPIC.

SO I'M GOING TO REALLY CAREFUL## WITH THE THINGS THAT I SAY.

BUT AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED,## THE FAULT OF EVERYTHING THAT IS GOING# ON RIGHT NOW IS THE UNITED NATION.# THEIR MAP THEY DRAFTED WHERE JUST# LOOKS LIKE A KINDERGARTENER CLASSROOM,## DECIDED TO THROW COLORS ALL OVER THE PLACE, IS# IN MY OPINION, WAS DONE PURPOSEFULLY IF NOT,## THERE WAS NO THOUGHT IN IT.

AS TO WHY WOULD YOU EVER## THINK THAT A MAP THAT LOOKS LIKE THIS# WOULDN'T CAUSE PROBLEMS IN THE FUTURE.# THE PARTITION PLAN.

SO THIS IS THE PROBLEM.# THE NOBODY WANTS TO TALK ABOUT CORE PROBLEMS.

EVERYONE WANTS TO TALK ABOUT EVERYTHING## THAT IS HAPPENING ON THE OUTSIDE.

THE STUFF THAT SENSATION, EVERYBODY SEASON TV.# WHAT REALLY HAPPENING IS THAT REASON WHY THAT# THERE IS THIS ISSUE THAT'S GOING ON IS BECAUSE OF## THE MAP THAT THE UNITED NATIONS DECIDED WAS OKAY.

AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED IF I WAS A POLITICIAN## AT THAT TIME, I WOULD HAVE# PUT A BIG FAT F ON IT, FAIL.# NO.

I DO NOT ACCEPT THIS MAP.# THAT'S ALL I'M GOING TO SAY ABOUT THAT.

ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ON A REDRAWING OF THE MAP.# AND UNITED NATIONS NEEDS TO TAKE# RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FACT THAT THEY## THEY'RE THE ONES CAUSING THIS PROBLEM.

>>Lauren: GO TO YOU ON THIS TOPIC.# REPEAT THE QUESTION FROM HALE#IWA ASKING,# ABOUT THE SITUATION BETWEEN ISRAEL AND IRAN.# IF YOU HAVE A POLICY OR# SUGGESTION WHAT YOU CAN DO.# TO MEDIATE IT.

>> THANK YOU FOR YOUR QUESTION.# HALE#IWA CHECKING IN FROM WEST SIDE FROM WAIANAE.

TOMATO, EXAMPLE.# MORE MONEY, ECONOMIC COMMUNITY.

GIVE THEM A CHANCE.# CURIOUS TO HEAR YOUR STANCE ON IT.

HOW CAN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HELP TO MAKE,## HELP FAMILIES MAKE ENDS MEET ESPECIALLY HERE?

>> STOP THE WAR ON FOSSIL FUEL.# GREEN ENERGY, THING IS A SCAM.

EARTH WAS COVERED, NORTH AMERICA## COVERED IN SHEET OF ICE THOUSAND OF YEARS AGO.

IN THE 1500'S, THEY WERE GROWING CITRUS## FRUIT IN NORTHERN ENGLAND IN THE 1500'S.

MAN HAS NEGLIGIBLE IMPACT ON THE CLIMATE.# WRITING LETTERS TO THE# EDITOR, ALL HAVE STAKE IN IT.# ALL GETTING PAID THROUGH THE FACULTY OR WHATEVER.

COST OF ENERGY, WE HAVE AMERICA SITS## ON AN OCEAN OF OIL.

OCEAN OF NATURAL GAS.# WE'RE SAYING NO, WE WANT TO USE SOLAR# PANELS, WHICH AREN'T RENEWABLE BY THE## WAY BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO MINE THOSE RARE# EARTH MINERALS, USE CHILD LABOR TO MINE IT.# COMES MOST OF IT FROM CHINA.

WE WANT TO PUT OUR WHOLE FUTURE IN CHINA?# THAT'S ONE COMPONENT.

OTHER ONE IS HOUSING## I HOPE YOU CAN TALK ABOUT LATER.

>>Lauren: ALSO, VERY HOT TOPIC HERE IN HAWAII.# FOLKS KNOW WELL.

LET YOU CHIME IN.# DO YOU HAVE A DIFFERENT STANCE THAN BOB DOES# ON HOW OUR GOVERNMENT CAN HELP FAMILIES WHO ARE## STRUGGLING TO MAKE ENDS MEET HERE?

>> YEAH.# BIGGEST ISSUE AFFECTING HAWAII IS WE# JUST DON'T HAVE ENOUGH INDUSTRIES HERE.# PRIMARY INDUSTRY IS THE TOURISM INDUSTRY, WHICH# IS WELL-KNOWN TO HAVE VERY LOW-PAYING JOBS.# ISSUE IS THAT WE JUST DON'T HAVE# JOBS HERE THAT ARE PAYING GOOD MONEY.# I MEAN, EVEN THE SO-CALLED PROFESSIONAL# JOBS ARE PAYING JUST VERY MENIAL SALARIES## CONSIDERING HOW EXPENSIVE RENT IS.

WE ALSO NEED TO START REGULATING REAL## ESTATE AGENTS IN HAWAII.

SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO SET## ARBITRARY PRICES ON REAL ESTATE IN HAWAII.

NEEDS TO SOME FORM REGULATION ON SETTING## REAL ESTATE PRICES.

>> THIS IS VERY, VERY IMPORTANT.# THE REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY IN HAWAII IS MOSTLY# CONTROLLED BY PEOPLE WHO DON'T LIVE HERE.# NOT THAT THEY DON'T LIVE HERE,# BUT THAT THEY ARE NOT FROM HERE.# SO THIS IS PROBLEMATIC BECAUSE IT TAKES# A WHILE TO GET TO KNOW HAWAII, OBVIOUSLY.# AND THOSE WHO ARE BORN HERE KNOW FAR MORE.

>> AND SO IT'S IMPORTANT THAT THERE IS REGULATION## ON HOUSING PRICES, AND BUT MOSTLY,# IT'S GETTING MORE INDUSTRIES IN HERE.# SO AS WATER, IF YOU MAKE THE GOVERNMENT FOCUS ON# WATER, THAT IS GOING TO CREATE SO MANY AMAZING## JOBS THAT IS GOING TO PAY A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT# OF MONEY AND IT'S DOING GOOD FOR THE EARTH.# THE PROBLEM THAT WE HAVE HERE ON EARTH IS THAT# PEOPLE FORGET THAT EARTH IS A LIVING ENTITY.# SHE IS ALIVE.

SO WHEN WE CONTAMINATE HER WATER,## POISON HER SOIL, CUT ALL OF HER TREES, DESTROYING# ALL LIFE SOURCE OXYGEN SOURCES, HARMING HER.# WE CAN PRETEND IT'S NOT GOING TO BE A PROBLEM.

EVENTUALLY GOING TO BE MAJOR PROBLEM## RIGHT NOW, SERIOUS PROBLEM.

>>Lauren: YOU ANSWERED THAT QUESTION.# ACTUALLY ANSWERED SOMEBODY ELSE'S QUESTION.

ONE OF OUR VIEWERS SIMON FROM THE BIG ISLAND.# I'M GOING TO READ THIS QUESTION AND# THEN LET'S HEAR FROM SHELBY AND BOB## ON THIS.

SINCE WE'RE MOVING ON.

>> BESIDES TOURISM, WHAT OTHER## INDUSTRIES DO YOU THINK CAN CONTRIBUTE TO# THE SOURCE OF INCOME FOR HAWAII RESIDENTS?# LOVE IT.

JUST QUICKLY HEAR IDEAS.# >> BITCOIN.

TRADE, LIKE INTERISLAND STUFF.# BIG ISLAND SHUT DOWN THE U.S.D.A.# BUTCHERS DURING CORONAVIRUS.# NOT ALLOWED TO DO THE COWS AND# CATTLE AND FEED OUR OWN PEOPLE.# >> NOT USDA CERTIFIED.

>> WRANGLING COWS, SELLING THEM## OFF THE BOAT TO CALIFORNIA, OUR COWS.

SELLING IT BACK, MADE IN HAWAII.# TERRIBLE.

WRANGLING UP OUR COWS, BIG ISLAND,## SYSTEMS CAN CHILL IT.

BLOOD LETTING.# CAN'T DO KAPA KAI AND LEAVE THE STUFF THERE.

PROPER WAYS TO DO IT.# DEER ON MOLOKAI, TOO MUCH DEER THERE.

WE GOT TO START TRADING WITH EACH OTHER.# MOLOKAI HAVING SUCH A HARD TIME WITH THE BOATS.

SO LAHAINA, HOW DO YOU REBUILD LAHAINA?# ALL OF THESE ISSUES.

YOU CAN START TRADING ONLINE,## DOING DIFFERENT THINGS.

I KNOW PEOPLE ARE DOING 420.# >> RICHARD HA.

PEOPLE ARE DOING OTHER THINGS.# I LIKE AQUAPONIC AND FISHING.

LIVING ON AN ISLAND.# THINK OF GLOBAL ECONOMY.

MIGHT HAVE FRIENDS IN VEGAS.# CALIFORNIA, MAYBE THEY WANT SOME# PLUMERIA, CUTE LITTLE THING.# I DON'T KNOW.

NOT UP TO ME.# UP TO WE, THE PEOPLE, AND PEOPLE TO TRY.

YOUR KIDS ARE VERY GOOD AT IT.# KIDS START DOING SOCIAL MEDIA,# GRANDKIDS WILL KICK MY BUTT 100%.# HELPED PEOPLE SUCCEED AND GRANDPAS TOO.

>>Lauren: IDEAS OF OTHER INDUSTRIES THAT## CAN SUCCEED HERE?

>> YES.# WE HAVE A CRITICAL SHIP SHORTAGE UNITED# STATES, WAR SHIPS.

DON'T HAVE ENOUGH OF THEM.# CHINESE NAVY IS GROWING EXPONENTIALLY.

WE NEED TO EXPAND PEARL HARBOR NAVAL## SHIPYARD TO HANDLE SURFACE SHIPS.

RIGHT NOW, ONLY DO SUBMARINES.## GOOD PAYING JOBS FOR SEVERAL THOUSAND PEOPLE# AND THAT IS SOMETHING STATE U.S. SENATOR## HAS DIRECT IMPACT ON COULD LEAD THE WAY.

NEED ANOTHER SHIPYARD IN THE UNITED STATES.# ONLY HAVE TWO RIGHT NOW.

>>Lauren: YOU BROUGHT UP,## YOU MENTIONED, HOW DO WE MAKE HAWAII, OUR# COUNTRY, HAVE MORE AFFORDABLE RENTAL HOUSING?# WHAT DO THE THREE OF YOU THINK WOULD# BE THE ROLE OF THE U.S.

IF ELECTED?# IF YOU'RE ELECTED AS U.S. SENATOR,# TO HELP MAKE HAWAII MORE AFFORDABLE## WHEN IT COMES TO HOUSING?

>> WELL, IF I CAN GO.# ACTUALLY HAVE A PLAN.

OVER 10 YEARS, GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE 10 YEARS.# MANDATE ALL MILITARY DEPENDENTS# AND ACTIVE DUTY BE HOUSED ON BASE.# THAT WILL FREE UP THOUSANDS AND THOUSAND OF HOMES.

THAT'S WHY IT'S GOING TO TAKE 10 YEARS.# TAKE 10 YEARS FOR THEM TO BUILD THE BASE HOUSING.

>> BUT IT ALSO WILL GIVE TIME FOR MARKET TO## FIND NEW EQUILIBRIUM SO PEOPLE DON'T LOSE# EQUITY, ALLEVIATE CONSTANT UPWARD PRESSURE.# E4 COMING TO HAWAII GETS LIKE# $3,500 A MONTH JUST FOR HIS HOUSE.# THAT'S WHY MY PART-TIME JOB# IS I'M A REAL ESTATE AGENT.# ONLY PEOPLE ABLE TO BUY HOUSES RIGHT NOW ARE# MILITARY YOUNG PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY GET THAT## MONEY FOR THE HOUSE.

SALARY ON TOP OF IT.# MY 24-YEAR-OLD SON DOESN'T GET THAT.

SO 10-YEAR PLAN, AND I WOULD WRITE## THE LEGISLATION AND I WOULD MAKE SURE IT GETS# DONE.

AND THE BEAUTY OF THE TWO-PARTY SYSTEM IS## ANY OF THESE IDEAS I PROPOSE TONIGHT, CLOSE# FORT SHAFTER, GIVE IT TO NATIVE HAWAIIANS,## SEE SCHATZ COME OUT AGAINST THIS.

TRANSITIONING MILITARY TO ON-BASE HOUSING.# HE WON'T.

HE DOESN'T HAVE THE COURAGE TO,## BUT IT MAKES SENSE AND GOOD IDEA.

WHY A TWO-PARTY SYSTEM IS GOOD.# THAT'S WHAT WE NEED.

>>Lauren: YOUR THOUGHTS WHAT## WOULD THE ROLE BE OF THE U.S.

SENATOR IN TERMS# OF HOW DO WE MAKE OUR COUNTRY MORE AFFORDABLE?# COMES TO HOUSING?

>> WELL, THE BIGGEST PROBLEM## THAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW, NOT JUST IN HAWAII,# BUT AMERICA AT LARGE, IS TOO MANY PEOPLE HOLDING## SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES AS INCOME PROPERTIES.

SO I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY REMEMBERS,## BUT DURING COVID, IT WAS LIKE A GHOST TOWN# BECAUSE A LOT OF PROPERTIES ARE OWNED BY## PEOPLE WHO DON'T LIVE HERE.

SO THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT.# >> WHEN I TALK ABOUT REGULATION# AND IN THE REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY,## HAWAII IS NOT LIKE THE OTHER STATES.

SOME WOULD ARGUE HAWAII IS NOT EVEN A STATE.# AND I THINK THAT AT THE VERY# LEAST, IT IS IN FACT TRUST LAND.# SO THERE CAN BE SPECIFIC REGULATIONS IN PLACE.

ENDS BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THE LAND MASS HERE## LIKE THEY DO IN TEXAS.

FOR EXAMPLE.# SO I THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME# CONVERSATION THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN## ABOUT HOW YOU CAN MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE ARE NOT# JUST BUYING PROPERTY IN HAWAII JUST TO HOLD IT.# BECAUSE WE NEED HOUSING FOR# THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE HERE.# THE PRIORITY NEEDS TO BE ON THE PEOPLE HERE.

AND SO THERE CAN'T BE JUST A FREE-FOR-ALL WITH## ANYONE IN THE WORLD CAN BUY HAWAII# REAL ESTATE AND LET IT SIT THERE.# THIS IS A CONVERSATION THAT I THINK NEEDS# TO CONTINUE TO HAPPEN IN OUR COMMUNITY.# THESE ARE KIND OF EXTREME SOLUTIONS.

A LOT OF PEOPLE PROBABLY WON'T LIKE IT,## BUT THIS IS THE REALITY THAT WE FACE BECAUSE# WHEN AFTER THE MARKET CRASHED IN 2008,## THERE WERE A LOT OF THESE EXECUTIVES THAT HAD# TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF MONEY AND WENT AND JUST## PURCHASED ALL OF THESE SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES.

AND MADE THEM INVESTMENT PROPERTY.# TAKING THAT OUT THE MARKET.

AND THAT IS WHY WE'RE HAVING## THIS PROBLEM WE'RE HAVING TODAY.

>>Lauren: I KNOW THIS IS SOMETHING## THAT YOU HEAR FROM YOUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS.

DO YOU HAVE IDEAS ON IF YOU'RE ELECT,## AS U.S.

SENATOR, WHAT WOULD YOU DO# TO TRY TO MAKE IT MORE AFFORDABLE.# >> GOES BACK TO PIKACHU.

PROVED IT ON NEWSPAPER.# YOU CAN BUILD YOUR OWN HALE PROGRAM.

YOU CAN BUILD YOUR OWN HALE BY GETTING RESEARCH,## GET A MACHETE COUNT DOWN A TREE.

WE CAN DO IT LITTLE TI LEAF SURVIVE## ON MOUNTAIN, POST OFFICE.

ROYAL HAWAIIAN BLOODLINE.# >> OTHER PEOPLE LIKE HIRONO.

CAN'T SPEAK HAWAIIAN, HOW DO YOU HELP HAWAIIANS?# CAN'T COUNT TO 10.

>> UNCLE FRANCIS## MAKING COCONUT HALE WITH STONES.

>> USE ALL NATURAL MATERIALS.

DON'T## GOT TO DO CONCRETE.

CREATIVE.

STATE SIDE IS ON THE MAINLAND.# USE YOUR BRAINS.

>>ADD SOMETHING REAL QUICK TO THAT.# I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT PEOPLE,# IT'S RECOGNIZED THAT WE LIVE ON AN ISLAND.# I WAS BORN IN THE PHILIPPINES.

LIVE ON ISLAND, NOT ON MAINLAND.# WHY ARE THEY IMPOSING CALIFORNIA# BUILDING CODES IN HAWAII?# THIS IS NOT CALIFORNIA.

SO IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE START LOOKING## AT IT FROM HOW DO THE HAWAIIANS LIVE BEFORE?

I GREW UP IN A BAMBOO HUT.# SO WHY CAN'T WE USE BAMBOO MATERIALS TO BUILD?

I DREAM OF BUILDING A HOUSE OUT OF STONE.# BUT I THINK THAT ANYBODY SHOULD BE# FREE TO BUILD WHATEVER THEY WANT.# >>Lauren: I APPRECIATE BOTH OF YOUR IDEAS.

>> I DO WANT TO SEE IF WE CAN SQUEEZE IN## A FEW MORE QUESTION SPECIFICALLY# FOR BOB ON THE TOPIC OF MEDICARE.# WHEN YOU WORKED#-- CALLER, BY THE WAY, CALLED IN.

YOU WORKED IN THE LEGISLATURE.# LONGTERM CARE BILL.

WOULD YOU SUPPORT LONGTERM## CARE BILL ADDED TO MEDICARE?

>> SEE DETAILS OF THE BILL.# NOT AGAINST IT.

GET THE FEDERAL BUDGET UNDER CONTROL.# TALKED ABOUT HOUSING.

PART OF THE PROBLEM IS INTEREST RATES.# THEY'RE TRIPLE WHAT THEY WERE THREE YEARS AGO.

MAKES IT UTTERLY UNAFFORDABLE TO BUY A HOUSE.# THAT'S DUE TO THE PROFIT SPENDING# OF OUR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.# DUMPING MONEY, ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS.

PEOPLE IN MAUI $750.# FLYING IN PEOPLE FROM CENTRAL# AMERICA TO THE UNITED STATES,## DEBIT CARDS THROUGH CATHOLIC CHARITIES.

I'M CATHOLIC, DISGUSTED WITH THIS.

GIVING## THEM DEBIT CARDS, CASH MONEY, STIPENDS.

THESE GUYS GET $750 AND TOLD TO WAIT.# JUST WAIT FIVE YEARS, GIVE YOU A BUILDING PERMIT.

>>Lauren: COUNTRY IS SO DIVIDED.# I THINK EVERYONE CAN AGREE# THAT POLITICS IS DIVISIVE.# IF ELECTED, U.S.

SENATOR, WHAT WOULD YOU DO TO# TRY TO BRING TOGETHER OUR COUNTRY REGARDLESS## OF YOUR PARTY AND IF YOUR COLLEAGUES OR# PEOPLE IN YOUR COMMUNITY AGREE WITH YOU?# JUST HAVE THREE MINUTES LEFT.# HOPEFULLY, CAN GET THROUGH THIS QUICKLY.# >> EAT SOME BARBECUE.

HOST BEACH BARBECUE.# MUSIC, LAULAU.

>> STATE SIDE, NO SUCH THING AS MANAPUA.# FOOD, CULTURE.

MAIL STUFF TO FLORIDA AND OTHER STUFF.# I WANT TO INTERISLAND TRADE.# INTERCONNECT TO ALL OF US TO FEEL UNITED.# DO IT FOR OUR GRANDCHILDREN FOR THE FUTURE.

PALI MEANS BLOOD SUCKING PARASITES, WE CALL UKUS.# >>Lauren: DO YOU HAVE IDEAS HOW# WE CAN COME TOGETHER AS A COUNTRY?# >> CIVIL WAR WILL NEVER END SO AS LONG# AS TWO POLITICAL PARTIES CONTROL AMERICA,## THIS IS THE REALITY OF OUR COUNTRY.

AS SOMEONE, I'M RUNNING AS A GREEN PARTY CANDIDATE## BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN A DIFFERENT KIND OF POLITIC.

I BELIEVE IN A POLITICS WHERE WE'RE ACTUALLY## TALKING ABOUT THINGS THAT REALLY MATTER, WATER.

WE'RE ACTUALLY DOING THINGS THAT MATTER RATHER## THAN FIGHTING AND YELLING# AT EACH OTHER ABOUT NOTHING.# SO AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, IF ELECTED AS# U.S.

SENATOR, MY TOPICS ARE SO UNIVERSAL,## I'M GOING TO FOCUS ON THOSE THINGS.

WHAT IS GOING TO NATURALLY HAPPEN IS## WHEN YOU HAVE TOPICS LIKE WATER, JUST# GOING TO BRING EVERYBODY TOGETHER.# >>Lauren: I DON'T WANT TO CUT YOU OFF.
