Cool that was interesting. Alot of different subjects and places.

He just tip toes around every question. He has no answers. I hope y’all in Hawaii do not vote this fool back into your State again.

[@mariateixeira6379]

I forgot, there are MISSING Satellite 📡 Images from the de Hours during the Fire 🔥!

[@user-wl1hx8rh9g]

I wish you would ask Mr. Green where was he the day the fire was going on??? I believe that’s a question a whole bunch of people would love to know the answer to.

[@donnawolfe2365]

yes! And where exactly was Sylvia Luke, acting Governor, and where was major General Hara, State deployer of National Guard and where was. Brad Ventura, Mavi Fire Chief and where was Herman Andaya, Maui Emergency Command Manager and where was Mayor Bissen, certainly not calling The National Guard in, and why was mauii Police Chief not In command in the Emergency operation Center? Gee! and Gov, Green thinks nothing could possibly criminal when People were directed and Blockaded on to a No-EXIT street where they burned alive and Noone still knows who gave The orders!

[@ifkvkivlvkvvi9475]

That governor doesn't care about Maui he said himself they decided not to sound the alarms

[@illuminaughty2929]

I wonder if there was asystem could have alerted everyone of the incoming great great danger, instead of having the police going house-to-house to evacuate people then having to same police block their evacutions.

[@icebiker3]

Yes, it's called a siren, and it never sounded for this fire.

[@Josephine-sm2db]

Sirens are our warning systems all the time, but Maui County decided not to sound the sirens that day.

[@donnawolfe2365]

the governor Stupidly reiterates IF the siren had sounded the People would have run Toward the Fire! That EXCUSE is getting old and will never hold up in court!

15:58 ignorance at its finest. Im 39 born and raised in hawaii, 1st time I heard that Ahupuaa means "mountain to the sea". True locals say, mauka to makai. Makes me wonder who's his kupuna? Note: Ahu means alter and Puaa is pig. Ahupuaa is a marker to determine land division.

As lifetime Hawaii residents we know very well to conserve the use of water in Maui. They have had long been having limited water supply. Please treat others the same way you want to be treated by Conserving the use of water whenever visiting Maui. Thank you! 🌊 ALoHa 🌺 GOD ❤ BLESS 🕊

Yes, in order to conserve water, stop building backyard swimming pools and quit growing lawns and plants that are not food.

"Woe to those who devise iniquity, And work out evil on their beds! At morning light they practice it, Because it is in the power of their hand. They covet fields and take them by violence, Also houses, and seize them. So they oppress a man and his house, A man and his inheritance. Therefore thus says the LORD: “Behold, against this family I am devising disaster, From which you cannot remove your necks; Nor shall you walk haughtily, For this is an evil time. Tn that day one shall take up a proverb against you, And lament with a bitter lamentation, saying: ‘We are utterly destroyed! He has changed the heritage of my people; How He has removed it from me! To a turncoat He has divided our fields." Micah 2:1-4 Maui government has committed the same sins as ancient Israel did under the prophet Micah. Much of Micah’s indictment against Israel and Judah involves these nations’ injustice toward the lowly-unjust business dealings, robbery, mistreatment of women and children, and a government that lived in luxury off the hard work of its nation’s people.

[@tracytinker]

How can they keep changing the death rate. First it was over 100 then went to 100 now it is 99? Where are the children and the school busses?

[@donnawolfe2365]

Instead of the Governor worrying so much about climate change, he should be very worried about hisl own state Emergency Response and 24-7 point warning system that is supposed to be surveilling the Islands for Fires, volcanic eruptions and tsunamis, which failed miserably on the day of the Maui Fire contributing to the the deaths of 100 people! The state apparently never saw the Fire eruption, failed to reach out to the county, failed to help sound sirens, Failed to deploy National guard to help evacuate people and assist in traffic Gridlock! oh but Gov. Green doesn't seem to think their highly irresponsible negligent response caused anything criminally negligent! No, many people don't agree! Nationa Guard were deployed after the Town was leveled and Innocent men women and children had burned alive! arrival of 9:45 at night is almost 10 hours too late! Major General Hara failed! What good are the national guard IF they are never deployed in an dire emergency?? oh yes! Gov. Green said this was a 17 minute fire! Wrong again! the Fre re-started 2:54 pm and burned all night until 12 AM or later

[@charsiu_808]

Bc climate change is going to be a huge push. They are going to tell us we are having a climate change CRISIS..and we will be locked down bc of this fake crisis..just like the "Plandemic ", they will be confining people in their homes. Or worse off to holding centers..Please wake up. Wake your family and friends..bc climate change is what they are pushing hard, it's only the beginning of the upcoming nightmare.
