A lot, a jam-packed episode and podcast for Friday on the Glenn Beck program.
00:00:23.040
And I also tell you the inspiring story of the guy from Appalachia with a guitar.
00:00:32.040
You don't want to miss a second, including Tulsi Gabbard right at the toe end of the podcast.
00:00:38.220
She gives us information on what's happening in Maui that I don't think you've heard yet.
00:00:43.000
We'll give that to you coming up on today's podcast.
00:00:48.200
Jace Medical has been doing the five most effective antibiotics.
00:00:52.760
So you can have them in your home or you can have them on vacation.
00:00:55.960
So when you go someplace, if somebody gets sick, you know, you could just call up the doctor and say, these are the symptoms.
00:01:03.260
Or just if you're even away from a phone, just take the antibiotics until you can be seen by a doctor.
00:01:08.300
But they also have the Jace Medical Jace Daily.
00:01:13.760
This is something where you can put a year's worth of your critical medications for blood pressure, psychotic meds, you know, whatever you're on every day.
00:01:28.240
So in case the supply chain or anything else happens, you have a year's worth supply.
00:01:48.540
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:02:00.100
Sarah, do we have a little bit of the Oliver Anthony song?
00:02:02.740
For anybody who hasn't heard it yet, I find it hard to believe that you haven't, but maybe you haven't.
00:02:51.460
Lord knows they all just want to have total control.
00:03:21.920
It's been difficult as I browse through the 50,000 plus messages and emails I've received in just the last week.
00:03:28.480
The stories that have been shared paint a brutally honest picture.
00:03:40.260
I'm sitting at such a weird place in my life right now.
00:03:58.480
I still don't believe what has went on since we uploaded that.
00:04:04.240
People in the music industry give me blank stares when I brush off $8 million offers.
00:04:21.120
Because I was suffering with mental health and depression.
00:04:24.920
These songs have connected with millions of people on such a deep level.
00:04:28.000
Because they're being sung by somebody feeling the words in the very moment they were being sung.
00:04:39.180
The style of music that we should have never gotten away from in the first place.
00:04:44.440
That being said, I've never taken time to tell you who I actually am.
00:04:56.740
And Oliver Anthony music is a dedication not only to him, but the 1930s Appalachia where I was born and raised.
00:05:08.300
At this point, I'll gladly go by Oliver because everybody knows me as such.
00:05:26.280
In 2010, I dropped out of high school at the age of 17.
00:05:34.200
I worked multiple plant jobs in western North Carolina.
00:05:37.440
My last job being in a paper mill in McDowell County.
00:05:40.800
I worked third shift six days a week for $14.50 an hour in a living hell.
00:05:47.420
In 2013, I had a bad fall at work, fractured my skull, and it forced me to move back home to Virginia.
00:05:53.580
Due to complications from the injury, it took me six months or so before I could work again.
00:05:58.140
From 2014 until just a few days ago, I worked outside sales in the industrial manufacturing world.
00:06:06.300
My job's taken me all over Virginia and into the Carolinas, getting to know tens of thousands of other blue-collar workers on job sites and in factories.
00:06:14.040
I've spent all day, every day, for the last 10 years hearing the same story.
00:06:25.380
In 2019, I paid $97,500 for the property, and I still owe about $60,000 on it.
00:06:32.220
I'm living in a 20-foot camper with a tarp on the roof that I got off Craigslist for $750.
00:06:45.960
I've spent the last five years struggling with mental health and using alcohol to drown it.
00:06:51.420
I'm sad to see the world the state's in, with everyone fighting with each other.
00:06:56.020
I've spent many nights feeling hopeless that the greatest country on Earth is quickly fading away.
00:07:02.060
That being said, I hate the way the Internet has divided all of us.
00:07:06.720
The Internet is a parasite that infects the minds of humans and has their way with them.
00:07:13.280
Hours wasted, goals forgotten, loved ones sitting in houses with each other,
00:07:17.500
distracted all day by technology made by the hands of other poor souls in sweatshops in a foreign land.
00:07:25.840
When are we going to fight for what's right again?
00:07:30.600
Millions have died protecting the liberties we have.
00:07:37.460
Never in the world history has the world had freedom that it currently has today.
00:07:47.720
Just like those once wandering in the desert, we have lost our way from God
00:07:51.520
and have let false idols distract us and divide us.
00:07:57.300
I want you to take his words at heart for a minute.
00:08:09.120
That he only did this because he only wrote this song, not because he's a songwriter,
00:08:17.080
And he was struggling with something and he shared it.
00:08:22.260
He didn't share it knowing that it would become this.
00:08:28.300
He was just trying to solve a problem for himself.
00:08:39.860
Because we're all so afraid and we're becoming more and more afraid of each other
00:08:44.300
because people are actively trying to destroy our relationships with one another,
00:08:50.260
destroy our modes of communication, our empathy.
00:08:57.520
We look at people now, if we even look at them, as just, I don't even know, objects?
00:09:05.320
Because the real world has become real in the fake world.
00:09:11.900
That's the world too many people are living in.
00:09:18.300
We're treating people like we treat people online.
00:09:29.720
The reason why he has to be destroyed is because he's the average guy
00:09:44.940
I don't know where this is going to take me or take us.
00:09:48.320
But I'm trying to solve a problem for my children.
00:10:02.040
I wasn't trying to do anything other than just share what I was going through.
00:10:06.760
And I can't tell you how many people have reached out to me and said,
00:10:26.260
That if people will just do exactly what the Lord says to do.
00:10:39.940
I think I'm going to die and I'm going to get up there.
00:10:53.780
Everything that I do that is good is because of him.
00:10:56.740
But Billy Graham told me, if everybody will just do their one thing,
00:11:05.540
and they're going to think that it is no big deal.
00:11:14.040
He said, it's as if the Lord is planning a surprise party for Satan.
00:11:18.980
And the lights are going to come on, and we'll be just as surprised as he is.
00:11:27.820
And what we'll see in the light is that everyone doing just what they were supposed to do,
00:11:34.640
nothing more, nothing less, has made this mosaic that we will all recognize
00:11:40.740
only the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob could put together.
00:11:43.740
The things you do just to solve something for yourself,
00:12:01.360
We all think that we don't have anything important to share or anything important.
00:12:07.780
We hide our, in my case, alcoholism and self-doubt.
00:12:13.740
We all think, I don't, there's nothing special about me.
00:12:25.820
Here's this song that has just broken all of the,
00:12:37.460
it wasn't uncommon for the top ten to have five Beatles songs in it.
00:12:42.420
I haven't seen that from a guy who's completely unknown.
00:12:53.980
This is why evil is trying to get us to not talk to each other.
00:12:59.160
Evil cannot allow us to share what we really believe.
00:13:05.300
Evil cannot allow us to see our common humanity,
00:13:16.180
I'm convinced the first time I went over to Israel,
00:13:21.660
and I met with a bunch of Jewish people separately.
00:13:32.060
I don't know why they can't solve this problem.
00:13:44.860
and maybe have enough to be able just to live my life.
00:13:54.120
I just want my children to do a little better than I am.
00:13:57.560
And that doesn't mean necessarily that they do better financially.
00:14:19.800
There's no excuse, no reason I'm the success that I am.
00:14:33.020
that you have found peace faster than I found it.
00:14:42.920
make us need to follow our wants and to fear one another.
00:14:59.520
how much you've contributed to a better society.
00:15:15.860
And he's one of the nicest guys and most decent men that I know.
00:15:26.800
All week, we just haven't had time to get into the Michael Orr story about the movie Blindside.
00:15:38.120
because I think you probably know all of the players,
00:15:45.900
because yesterday I saw a tweet that the Oscars should be given back because it was all a lie.
00:16:25.780
The movie is actually pretty accurate to the book,
00:16:32.480
and Michael Orr endorsed the book in his 2011 memoir,
00:16:44.860
but he didn't like the way the movie portrayed him as dumb,
00:16:49.640
and as not totally responsible for his own success.
00:17:05.160
but probably in a far more positive and uplifting light than the book did.
00:17:13.200
This kid came to that family with some severe problems.
00:17:39.240
I didn't get the impression that he was stupid in the movie.
00:17:49.440
I got the impression that he had been neglected,
00:17:51.440
and he had never been taught any of these things.
00:17:54.100
And I actually came out of the movie having tremendous respect for him
00:18:07.900
recasting of the blind side and the way the media is covering it,
00:18:32.240
we're pretending like this didn't damage this young man incredibly,
00:18:37.680
and that the Toohey family and many other families at this private school
00:18:43.000
and friends tried to put a broken child back together and send him along his way.
00:18:56.300
the blind side is just another statue being torn down,
00:19:34.700
was a all-time great Ole Miss basketball player.
00:19:40.120
He was a volunteer assistant coach at the Christian High School that brought Michael Orr in.
00:19:45.720
And his original interest in Michael was as a basketball player and was writing letters to small colleges,
00:19:55.680
thinking if we could ever get this kid academically straight,
00:19:59.140
he could be a 6'5", 300-pound, Division III, Division II basketball player,
00:20:08.040
They discover the football talent after he's moved into their home.
00:20:15.500
like they knew there was NFL riches and he was this great prospect.
00:20:19.340
he was a 6'5", 345-pound kid when they got him.
00:20:23.740
And they hoped they could turn him into some Division II, Division III basketball player
00:20:34.160
The facts just don't line up with what was written in the 2006 book,
00:20:39.800
what Michael Orr cops to in his own original memoir.
00:20:59.840
showed the truth about families and what happens when there isn't a family.
00:21:05.160
But Michael, to be involved in this, is it true that he was blackmailing the family for a while?
00:21:17.140
And saying, look, I'm going to come out with this unless you pay me.
00:21:21.500
That's certainly the allegations that the Tui's lawyers have raised and the Tui's son has stated.
00:21:34.940
But I think as it relates to Michael Orr's motivation, read the book, read his memoir.
00:21:41.360
Or this is a broken child who has never been put back together, and he's still a broken person.
00:21:53.260
And, again, this is where it goes back to the message everybody should be taking from this is just like,
00:21:58.700
hey, man, family and upbringing, those first formative years of a child are so vital, so important.
00:22:05.980
If they're damaged in the womb from not being properly cared for and the mother being a crack addict,
00:22:13.120
and if they're abandoned and neglected as a child, these ramifications will go on for a lifetime.
00:22:19.960
And as best I could tell from his 2011 memoir and from reading The Blind Side,
00:22:24.840
he's never gotten that type of therapy and treatment that he obviously needs.
00:22:34.100
He's written a new book, When Your Back's Against the Wall.
00:22:42.600
I think he hopes that someone, some Hollywood producer, Netflix, someone will say,
00:22:47.800
hey, let's do a remake of The Blind Side and tell it the proper way
00:22:51.760
and make the black kid the hero and the white people evil
00:22:55.880
and let's cut Michael Orr a big check for the new blind side.
00:23:03.400
Wow, that is tragically sad, and it probably will happen.
00:23:08.780
Do the Tui family, have you had a chance to talk to them
00:23:13.920
or anybody talk to them personally without attorneys
00:23:16.320
and not to say, oh, it's a real score, but how do they feel?
00:23:22.540
They have made a public statement, the dad has, that they're devastated,
00:23:39.720
I have talked to people that say, contend they know the Tui's.
00:23:43.880
But I'll just talk about myself having been involved with, let's call it, at-risk kids.
00:23:53.700
Took a cousin into my home when I lived in Kansas City for two years
00:24:04.060
He went back home to Indianapolis, got in trouble.
00:24:09.540
He now acknowledges all the things I was trying to teach him when he was younger
00:24:15.040
were legitimate, and he wished he had listened closer then.
00:24:19.680
But, Glenn, and I know or I can speculate about the amount of charitable work
00:24:30.560
And sometimes the damage that they experience at a young age is too much to overcome,
00:24:36.680
and they eventually lash out at the very people who have shown them love
00:24:42.660
and have tried to help them because they don't know what to do with their emotions.
00:24:58.480
The mom is strung out on drugs or has been for many years.
00:25:04.820
But he's lashing out at some people that have a lot of money
00:25:10.480
and, you know, had showered him with a lot of resources.
00:25:18.740
And sometimes, I hate to make the analogy, but you feed a cat,
00:25:24.720
No matter where you might set them up in a new home,
00:25:27.780
they may make $30 million, $40 million in the NFL,
00:25:31.600
but eventually may blow that money and return to you,
00:25:37.080
the people that previously supplied them resources, and ask again.
00:25:43.040
Well, I will tell you, you know, I learned several years back
00:25:52.020
that if you're doing charity to get love back, you know, good luck with that.
00:25:57.740
You know, it can't change you because so many times you will do something,
00:26:07.100
And, you know, the thing that I learned, and I say this all the time,
00:26:22.540
Now, that's up to them with what they do with it.
00:26:26.660
But, you know, I just, I don't ever want to close my heart
00:26:34.320
But there is also those who occasionally will step up
00:26:39.060
and something will happen, and it will be glorious, absolutely glorious.
00:26:44.480
And that's much, that's what we should concentrate on,
00:27:00.020
And I do want to back up your hopeful note and just say that
00:27:04.860
I got involved with a Ball State football player.
00:27:13.280
It's been one of the greatest experiences of my life.
00:27:16.920
And Dante's probably now 36, 37 years old, married, two kids, great career,
00:27:25.180
very appreciative of all the things that I did for him.
00:27:35.720
And Dante comes from a very, very tough, similar,
00:27:40.840
When he was a student at Ball State, we had to do a lot of things.
00:27:45.480
Coaches, coaches' wives, do a lot of things to help him get through school
00:27:49.760
and to help him catch up from all the neglect he experienced at 10, 11, 12, 13 years old.
00:28:15.740
On the other side, is it awesome and is it great?
00:28:20.120
Don't do any of it looking for anything other than hopefully you'll get to heaven one day
00:28:27.020
and God will say, hey, I'm well pleased with what you did there.
00:28:39.580
If you have not seen Fearless yet, you need to.
00:28:43.160
Jason is just doing a tremendous, tremendous job
00:28:46.340
and comes at things at a completely different angle that I think you'll really enjoy.
00:28:53.680
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:28:56.300
Thank you so much for everything that you're doing for Maui.
00:29:04.580
We're approaching a million dollars in aid just from this audience.
00:29:15.060
Thank you for caring about people's plight, no matter where they are.
00:29:20.920
This is a, this is just a growing into a disturbing story.
00:29:29.160
except at least incompetence seems to be coming forward.
00:29:40.460
This used to be one of her districts that she would, you know,
00:29:55.420
So we're just going to talk about the situation because I don't know what's happening.
00:30:06.180
I'm just seeing things that I've never seen as a broadcaster before.
00:30:13.980
Hey, and to all of your listeners for, for, for all of their support.
00:30:20.080
It really means so much to our community there on Maui that is continuing now,
00:30:25.800
nine days after this crisis began, really struggling and suffering and,
00:30:31.120
and is having a hard time looking to see what that road towards rebuilding looks like.
00:30:39.680
So we, we, we're hearing things like homeowners are not allowed to go back.
00:30:45.760
We are nine days after this, and we still have a thousand people missing.
00:30:50.740
Uh, I don't know of a natural disaster in America that has been, uh, in such a tight area where this many days after we are still missing a thousand people.
00:31:05.600
Um, we've heard stories that these numbers are being quashed intentionally, uh, that the National Guard has closed this whole area off.
00:31:19.240
Uh, these, these are all a lot of questions that, that folks, uh, folks on the ground have and, and, uh, are, are very appropriate.
00:31:27.740
It's unfortunate there has been so little communication coming through official channels, uh, at a time where, you know,
00:31:36.020
the mayor, uh, needs to be out there on social media or on TV every single day giving extensive and open update briefs, uh,
00:31:45.000
to be, be as completely transparent as possible, uh, so that people know what's going on.
00:31:52.780
And as you know, uh, and in that vacuum, uh, a lot of questions and a lot of fears, um, and concerns arise.
00:32:00.380
So, uh, let's just kind of start with, with the first, uh, you know, some of the first questions that you asked there.
00:32:06.520
Uh, this is an unprecedented crisis in, in, you know, the last hundred years in our country.
00:32:12.560
Uh, right now we have first responders out there in, uh, on the island of Maui who are, from across the country,
00:32:18.660
who are helping to support the foremost mission, which is remains recovery.
00:32:23.500
Uh, this wildfire started with a small brush fire that quickly grew out of control because of these hundred mile an hour winds.
00:32:31.960
It's suspected that downed electric lines, uh, contributed to its spread.
00:32:38.220
Uh, but really the, the word that I have heard best described this wildfire is it was like a blowtorch.
00:32:45.200
It was an out of control wildfire that's, that swept horizontally and very quickly in less than an hour across the historic town of Lahaina,
00:32:56.660
taking down and turning into ash, everything, uh, in its path.
00:33:01.560
Uh, people have, have explained how these flames sometimes hopped and skipped, uh, which is why you saw boats that were, you know,
00:33:10.860
a little bit far off of land, uh, get completely, uh, completely destroyed.
00:33:17.220
The questions about how is it possible that there are still over a thousand people missing?
00:33:23.220
How is it possible that at last count, they have only identified the remains?
00:33:27.600
Actually, they haven't identified the who, but they have recovered the remains of 111 people.
00:33:34.240
When you think about the quickness of this fire and the destruction, just imagine you have a, uh, you know,
00:33:42.520
three or four story boutique hotel there in Lahaina.
00:33:46.960
Uh, this fire comes in and levels that hotel down to the ground.
00:33:54.500
We don't know how many people were in their hotel rooms.
00:33:58.540
Uh, from what I'm told, they're not able to recover records of who might have been in that hotel.
00:34:06.880
And, uh, and, and then you take that example and, and just spread that across the entire town and homes and
00:34:13.600
shops, front street in Lahaina had shops lining both sides of the streets.
00:34:17.940
You had restaurants, you have tourists, you have residents, you have service workers.
00:34:22.300
Uh, you know, you have a lot of people in a very small area, uh, who, who very sadly perished,
00:34:34.100
Now there's, there's a Google spreadsheet that's going around where family members have listed the
00:34:42.000
Uh, but this recovery is going, this remains recovery mission is so slow because it requires
00:34:55.580
Uh, unfortunately the destruction is so great that the human eye is not enough in many of these cases
00:35:03.960
to identify these remains. And so this, this process is going to go on. And, and I, I expect
00:35:10.500
the, uh, the mayor or the governor will be making an announcement with a time estimate
00:35:14.260
soon, but they've got, uh, there are not very many cadaver dogs in the United States of America,
00:35:20.820
trained cadaver dogs. Uh, I've been told that there are 20 on the ground there. They can work
00:35:26.180
for 20 minutes, then they need 20 minutes rest. So they're, they're rotating these cadaver dogs,
00:35:31.700
uh, so that they can go through, uh, and, and do their work, but they are not moving from one area
00:35:39.120
to the next until all the remains in that specific area, uh, have been, uh, identified by these dogs
00:35:48.460
and then allowing the humans to come in and do that work. It's a very slow, slow process.
00:35:54.780
And that's not, sorry, I just to finish that, that's not even beginning the process of
00:35:58.460
the identification of DNA and figuring out, uh, you know, matching these remains to, uh, people.
00:36:05.060
Correct. So this would put to rest another question that I have had. I've never seen anything
00:36:11.640
where people can't return in to go through their own rubble. They, the insurance injustors are not
00:36:17.920
allowed to go in and they've blocked everything. So nobody can go back in. That would answer the
00:36:24.120
question on why that's happening is there's too many, they don't want anything to touch too many
00:36:28.620
people. Go ahead. Correct. There's two, there's two main reasons for that is they need to preserve
00:36:32.440
the area for the remains recovery mission to go on undisturbed. Number one, number two,
00:36:39.000
as you can imagine, you know, along with all of the different buildings and houses, uh, there were,
00:36:45.720
you know, two gas stations completely leveled to the ground. Those gas stations had underground
00:36:52.020
fuel, uh, fuel tanks. The level of toxicity in this area is, uh, is, is very, very serious.
00:37:01.660
Uh, and so that is another factor that, that, uh, local officials are rightly taking into account
00:37:07.440
of coming up with a plan on both for the, the near term, you know, okay, well, we've got to make
00:37:13.920
sure that anybody going in there at, at the point where they are able to open it up to families to be
00:37:19.060
able to go back to their homes, which, which needs to happen as soon as possible. If nothing else,
00:37:25.000
but for closure, um, they've got to make sure they've got the protective, uh, respirators and,
00:37:31.020
and gear to make sure that they are not, uh, they're, they're not causing a medical crisis
00:37:36.660
in the process. Uh, the, the, the removal of the toxic, um, you know, this is not just going to be
00:37:44.060
about clearing debris in this case. I've been told in order to remove the toxic elements that have
00:37:49.500
been caused by this fire, they're going to have to dig down, you know, five to 10 feet to be able
00:37:54.980
to remove all of that and then figure out where does it go? How do they transport it and everything
00:37:59.060
else that follows there? All right. So I've only got a couple of minutes. I have a couple more
00:38:03.400
questions left. Um, one of them, uh, is about the guy who has just resigned and I actually feel bad
00:38:12.320
for him because I think he probably thought he was doing the right thing by not turning on the air
00:38:18.020
siren. Because what I read, he said, if I would have turned it on, uh, people would have gone to the
00:38:24.140
top of the mountain because that's what they're trained to do. And they would have gone right into
00:38:28.220
the fire. Do you believe that? Or, or, I mean, I, I don't want to throw this guy underneath the bus.
00:38:35.600
Well, you know what? I, I, I call bull on that. And, uh, hearing that response really pissed me off.
00:38:41.120
It really pissed me off because of a couple of reasons. He's the department of emergency
00:38:46.840
management director. Why did it take him? What is it? Eight days for him to show up in front of the
00:38:52.860
media and answer questions. He should have been the first guy out there when this thing happened,
00:38:57.300
answering questions, fielding concerns. It took him eight days to show up at that podium and show
00:39:03.160
his face to the public. Number one, number two, we have a highly sophisticated alarm system across
00:39:09.120
the state of Hawaii because of our proximity to hurricanes and tsunamis and all sorts of different
00:39:15.440
natural disasters. We know that if it's a tsunami, we get days warning. If there's an earthquake in
00:39:22.360
Japan, they say, Hey, tsunami alert, a tsunami may be headed your way. That, that didn't happen.
00:39:28.660
And we're smart enough to know that these alarm systems are used in the case of any form of natural
00:39:33.640
disaster. A tsunami alert could have been ruled out immediately because they don't just show up out
00:39:39.720
of nowhere. We will get that notice. That alarm sounding could have, could have possibly prevented
00:39:47.900
loss of life. So I don't buy that. I don't buy that reasoning at all. Tell me about the water guy
00:39:54.580
who seems to have some love affair with water being more sacred than people in some of his former
00:40:00.080
statements that, that didn't act to turn on the water. And it looks now like it was because of water
00:40:06.640
equity. Is that true? This is a much, this is a much longer question, unfortunately, than you have
00:40:13.000
time for it. Maui has a long history of different, uh, entities fighting over who owns the water on
00:40:21.600
Maui. And unfortunately for decades now, people, the people have been suffering as a result. Uh, so I'm
00:40:29.780
still learning the details of, you know, they say they made the request to use the water for the fire
00:40:34.820
trucks. The state didn't approve it quickly enough. Uh, you know, there, there, I could tell
00:40:39.980
you what I would do in that position. I would have just said, use the water. I'll ask for permission
00:40:43.320
later. But you know, there, there's, it's, it's a really complex, uh, problem that ultimately can be
00:40:49.660
summed up to, uh, corporations buying water rights to, uh, irrigate plantation fields and local
00:40:58.180
people suffering, uh, uh, from drought and lack of water as a result. That's the historical, that's the
00:41:05.300
historical context that we're operating under. This is, uh, this is just a mess. Um, and, um,
00:41:13.360
and I wish, I wish you and your family all the luck in the world and our love and prayers and our
00:41:20.080
hard-earned money, um, are going out to, um, everybody who's affected. I, I don't know how this ends up,
00:41:27.220
but, um, it's really bad so far. Good, good things. I'd love to keep in touch with you cup and keep in
00:41:34.040
touch with you and your listeners and, and just ask you to stand with us for the long haul, even
00:41:38.560
though there has been, and we will continue to learn about, uh, incompetency and failures and
00:41:44.500
perhaps negligence on the part of, of the government and, and, you know, who knows the electric company,
00:41:49.400
who knows who else is really, uh, culpable for things that should have been done, but didn't.
00:41:54.820
But ultimately I just, I just ask that your hearts and prayers stay with the people of Maui
00:41:59.080
who are, um, you know, who, who need our support in every way as this recovery and rebuild goes on.
00:42:06.980
I want you to know, at least with my audience, um, I'm pretty sure their hearts are with the people
00:42:13.220
of Maui. Um, it's, uh, they're, they're responding as usual. They're responding in a, in a big way.
00:42:20.960
And we've already sent a, uh, a gigantic plane load of, uh, supplies out. We're on the ground. I think
00:42:29.020
we were one of the first people on the ground and will be the last to leave. So Tulsi, thank you.
