00:01:06.000His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:01:14.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:03:47.000I have not seen this massive federal action.
00:03:50.000There are already 96 people confirmed dead.
00:03:54.000Now, Maui is home to a lot of different people, the oligarchs of our society Jeff Bezos, Oprah Winfrey, Jimmy Buffett, Mark Benioff from Salesforce, Howard Schultz from Starbucks.
00:04:47.000And that's a really sick question, isn't it?
00:04:49.000Because no one should benefit from fires that destroy entire islands.
00:04:58.000There should be no beneficiary of scorched earth.
00:05:02.000But if you remember, tiny dancer Rahm Emanuel, former chief of staff to Barack Hussein Obama, who became mayor of Chicago, he famously said, You can never let any crisis go to waste.
00:05:17.000The response to this fire feels as if it's been slow motion.
00:06:05.000And then a couple of weeks later, it was not just a little bit of totalitarianism, it was the most authoritarianism we've ever seen in our lifetime.
00:07:44.000Some people say, oh, Charlie, you're being unfair to say that.
00:07:47.000But if you were Joe Biden's advisors and you wanted to, I don't know, get people to stop thinking that you hated America, why would you act like this this weekend?
00:07:59.000The only answer is that they wanted this to become an absolute crisis to be on such comprehension that only a massive government response could come in.
00:15:46.000Earlier, I spoke with Hawaii's governor, Josh Green, and began by asking him to respond to those complaints from residents who say there was no warning.
00:15:55.000Yeah, the tragic nature of this fire, which was made worse by 80 mile per hour gusty winds from the remnant of Hurricane Dora, took out telecommunications and they were fighting three other fires.
00:18:45.000Something about this does not make sense.
00:18:50.000Now, let me just say really quickly on a political side Donald Trump should fly to Maui immediately with aid, with resources, with money, with fill up that Trump Force One with water, with ready made meals.
00:19:07.000Maybe My Patriot Supply could donate some meals.
00:20:02.000So here's another interesting thing one of our largest military bases with quick reaction forces were just 100 miles away, but no aid nor rescue was deployed.
00:20:15.000They didn't want to declare martial law, but I believe that the military can be used in temporary aid and humanitarian efforts domestically.
00:20:25.000And if nothing else, they could have deployed the Navy to help the people that are sitting in the water for 12 hours while their homes burn.
00:20:34.000So it's not as if that there was some sort of distant island where we did not have resources.
00:20:41.000One of our largest military bases is literally in Honolulu, about under 100 miles away.
00:21:28.000It's because he's the only major politician who is promising to put the American citizenry above foreigners, to put you above some abstract.
00:21:58.000It's also by far the most unequal state in America.
00:22:02.000Now, I'm not one to argue for economic egalitarianism, but it is a place where you have proportion, unbelievable amount of bums in downtown Honolulu.
00:22:12.000It's true, it's just miles and miles of bums.
00:22:17.000And you have the oligarchs of society literally purchasing islands.
00:22:22.000And you look at the map, almost every major oligarch has property on the island, either Maui or Lanai or Honolulu.
00:22:51.000There's nothing necessarily wrong with it, but it is somewhat unhealthy.
00:22:56.000And it does beg the question now that the entire Western part of the island has been devastated, is this going to be a massive land grab opportunity for the oligarchs?
00:23:27.000We're going to pick this apart and then credit to what was that freedom something, that website that kind of led the charge on this this weekend.
00:24:44.000And I just want to thank everybody across the country and across the world for the solidarity and the support and the money that is pouring in because this is a disaster ongoing.
00:25:39.000Somebody should ask this to Joe Biden.
00:25:40.000Hey, Over the course of the last week, were you briefed andor did you hear for an opportunity to mobilize any sort of humanitarian military assets 100 miles away to help the people of Maui?
00:26:03.000Experts warn that extreme disasters such as this one are only becoming more common because climate change is fueling stronger storms.
00:26:11.000Hotter temperatures, more widespread droughts.
00:26:15.000I think that we very much need to acknowledge that climate change is upon us.
00:26:19.000There are whole states, by the way, Jake, where you can't even use the words climate change because they still have a hit in the sand attitude.
00:26:27.000We need to be assessing our ability to contend with these kinds of natural occurring disasters, which we are seeing more of, and the frequency and the damage that is done.
00:27:23.000And before we get too ahead of ourselves, I'm not saying it's necessarily connected, but it is a fact.
00:27:29.000The police chief in Maui was previously the Vegas cop in charge of the response to the big shooting, where we do not know why an overweight 50, 60 year old male bought a bunch of machine guns and went to the Mandalay Bay and started opening fire on a country music festival.
00:27:47.000We actually don't know the motive behind that.
00:29:58.000Tonight, as many as 1,000 people remain unaccounted for.
00:30:02.000Meanwhile, government just reported three new fatalities moments ago.
00:30:08.000Now 96 people are confirmed to have lost their lives.
00:30:13.000The Lahaina fire is the deadliest wildfire in the United States in more than a century.
00:30:19.000So it's the deadliest wildfire in the United States in over a century.
00:30:22.000And so there's some other issues here.
00:30:24.000There were tinder dry conditions that were made more dangerous because of the spread of what's called tropical non-native grasses, such as guinea grass, that have grown to occupy about 1 million acres across the state.
00:30:57.000Is that if there are preconditions for mass fires, the radical environmentalists do not want you to move it.
00:31:04.000And because of the lack of livestock, maybe also because of the move towards Fake meat and that cows somehow, cows farting leads to climate change.
00:31:14.000That's actually something they believe that cows emit so much methane gas that they are contributing to climate change.
00:31:23.000Change in land use in the past several decades, namely the decline in large scale agricultural and ranching operations, has resulted in thousands of acres of unmanaged fallow lands, he said.
00:31:34.000So, ranch land in Hawaii has dropped 50% in recent decades, high land costs, high labor costs, and low productivity.
00:31:43.000Not to mention the oligarchs that are flying in and purchasing all of Hawaii.
00:31:49.000Here's an interesting question Will the richest people in society, Zuckerberg, Bezos, and others, will they now be given a green light to go purchase land that was previously owned by native born Hawaiians?
00:33:10.000But I'd love to hear from you, freedom at charliekirk.com, for a regime that is overeager to jump into every possible crisis to make themselves more powerful.
00:33:20.000In this particular instance, when there's a thousand people missing and potentially a thousand people dead, and at least 96 people dead, and one of the crown jewels of America burning.
