miss out by it today. Are you ready because it's
22
00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:19.400
time for us to stand up, speak out, get involved,
23
00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:26.120
and let's be intentional. On August eighth of twenty twenty three,
24
00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:32.599
wildfires swept across parts of Maui, striking and destroying the
25
00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:40.039
historic district of Lehina. Soon after, on August twelfth, NBC
26
00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:46.159
News reported that Maui's warning sirens were not activated and
27
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:52.719
residents were not sufficiently warned. On August twentieth, Hawaii Free
28
00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:57.879
Press put out an excerpt by Stan Fitchman of Politics Hawaii.
29
00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:02.360
One of his statements was, first off, there needs to
30
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:06.120
be something to address the concern that has been raised
31
00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:12.000
with such destruction that uncouth land investors would swoop in
32
00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:17.039
cash in hand and buy up large portions of Lahina
33
00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:23.840
for itself and drive out locals. It's not a theoretical concern.
34
00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:28.120
It is happening already, with residents getting phone calls from
35
00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:33.319
people willing to buy their destroyed homes in cash and
36
00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:36.960
play on the emotions of people who have lost everything,
37
00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:40.439
to churn and burn properties and make a quick buck.
38
00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:44.800
Such a big idea, relayed to this blogger by some
39
00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:50.080
in the legal community, starts with the state immediately considering
40
00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:55.199
condemnation of the entire disaster area of Lahina through its
41
00:03:55.719 --> 00:04:03.080
power of imminent domain. Aha. The point emerges now. This
42
00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:08.319
past August, Red State reported a major settlement of four
43
00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:13.400
billion dollars was reached in the lawsuit filed by Maui
44
00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:18.279
homeowners in the wake of the twenty twenty three's dreadful fires.
45
00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:24.319
Fire victims, insurers, and utility companies were all involved in
46
00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:29.879
the lawsuit, where more than three thousand homes were and
47
00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:35.720
other structures were damaged or destroyed, and thousands of residents
48
00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:43.560
were killed, injured or displaced. Then this October, long awaited
49
00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:48.439
report by the Maui County and Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
50
00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:55.040
Firearms and Explosives revealed that a fallen Hawaiian Electric Company
51
00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:59.240
power line set the dry grass on fire the morning
52
00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:03.800
of October eighth, twenty twenty three. That's August eighth, excuse me,
53
00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:09.279
twenty twenty three, producing a smoldering ember that made its
54
00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:15.480
way to a nearby gully, flared up in hurricane driven winds,
55
00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:20.920
and then later that day engulfed the town of Lahina. Well,
56
00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:25.600
what about the sacred land, what about the generational homes,
57
00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:31.000
and what about the missing people? The AP News reports
58
00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:35.240
that only one hundred and two died and two are missing.
59
00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:38.439
Now I don't know about you, but that doesn't pass
60
00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:43.240
the smell test. Well, thank goodness that today we have
61
00:05:43.399 --> 00:05:47.600
Stephanie Perucci with us to break this down. Stephanie is
62
00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:52.120
the founder and CEO of Perucci Publishing. She is also
63
00:05:52.399 --> 00:05:57.839
author of Burnback Better, Lahina, A Perfect Storm or a
64
00:05:57.879 --> 00:06:02.000
Perfect Crime, and she is co author of Sound the Alarm,
65
00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:06.959
the Maui disaster that sparked a global awakening. Welcome with me,
66
00:06:07.079 --> 00:06:10.839
Stephanie Perucci. Hello, Stephanie, Thank you for joining me today
67
00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:15.120
and taking time to really discuss this important topic with us.
68
00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:15.759
How are you?
69
00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:19.519
And I'm fantastic This is exactly what I want to
70
00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:24.959
be talking about because it's funny. During that incredible, very
71
00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:28.360
informative monologue, I just sat there and I checked off
72
00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:30.959
boxes in my head of everything I don't agree with.
73
00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:36.319
Wow, Yeah right, I mean some of this stuff is
74
00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:42.000
just unbelievable. And you know the fact that we're going
75
00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:48.120
on sixteen months later and there still is more questions
76
00:06:48.399 --> 00:06:52.519
than answers is inconceivable to me. But it shouldn't be
77
00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:55.519
a shock. I mean, you know, but I do want
78
00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:58.839
to kind of jump in because it is something that
79
00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:03.120
we need to talk about. And just a couple things
80
00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:05.680
I was going through and just kind of doing some
81
00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:09.439
research and kind of refreshing my memory, and I came
82
00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:15.600
upon a couple things. Stephanie One independent reporters who are
83
00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:20.399
out there have posted that black Rock had already had
84
00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:24.519
kind of this massive interest in buying up the properties
85
00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:28.279
and the land in Maui even before the fires. And
86
00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:32.319
then even though there was something like four hundred emergency
87
00:07:32.519 --> 00:07:39.800
alert sirens, the system wasn't activated. The official cause, as
88
00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:43.879
I discussed before, had been related to a down power
89
00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:49.120
line even though there was supposedly no power, the line
90
00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:53.680
was re energized and that started the fire. And then
91
00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:57.240
there was a report that was done by Hawaii Real
92
00:07:57.399 --> 00:08:02.439
Estate in October and they did this incredible video that
93
00:08:02.600 --> 00:08:06.639
showed that access is allowed, but the vast majority of
94
00:08:06.680 --> 00:08:10.079
this area is being monitored twenty four hours a day,
95
00:08:10.480 --> 00:08:13.879
seven days a week, and the process to rebuild again
96
00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:18.639
has been like snails Pasteley slow. If that's even a word, snails, Paisley,
97
00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:22.079
I just made it one. So in your book Burned
98
00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:27.439
Back Better, you questioned whether this could be a nefarious plan,
99
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:32.720
and then in Sound the alarm the comment was made
100
00:08:32.799 --> 00:08:36.960
that we are becoming accustomed to seeing fires that don't
101
00:08:36.960 --> 00:08:41.320
appear to be natural. So, Stephanie, the words eminent domain
102
00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:46.000
has been thrown around out there, and there's the stench
103
00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:50.200
of these globalist elites with the twenty thirty agenda that
104
00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:53.440
is in minars right now, and so I would love
105
00:08:53.480 --> 00:08:56.159
to know what your research has uncovered.
106
00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:02.360
You know, it's funny you mentioned that there were different
107
00:09:02.480 --> 00:09:08.720
holding companies that were interested in the land in Lahina specifically,
108
00:09:08.960 --> 00:09:10.519
it's very beautiful.
109
00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:14.360
When properly taken care of it can.
110
00:09:15.600 --> 00:09:20.080
It can provide endless resources to the community of food,
111
00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:24.320
fresh water, even but what you saw when it was
112
00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:29.200
incinerated is that there was no water and it burned
113
00:09:29.399 --> 00:09:35.080
up instantly. They call it the seventeen minute fire. Now,
114
00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:43.080
there's a few very curious oddities around the actual incineration
115
00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:47.879
of Lahina. Number one, of course, the power lines were out,
116
00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:52.720
they didn't sound the alarm. The police blockaded everybody inside
117
00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:57.440
the streets. There was one street alone where I think
118
00:09:57.600 --> 00:10:03.799
forty two people perished, and there are reports that there
119
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:09.120
were so many people running because they couldn't drive because
120
00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:14.080
of the police blockades. Down Front Street. People exited cars
121
00:10:14.159 --> 00:10:16.960
either ran into the ocean or ran up toward the
122
00:10:17.080 --> 00:10:22.639
hill and they were getting trampled. So the count of
123
00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:29.159
one hundred and two souls perishing is frankly absurd.
124
00:10:29.279 --> 00:10:30.840
It makes no sense.
125
00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:35.240
Based off of the evidence we have just with people
126
00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:42.360
who perished in the water. So what's very curious is
127
00:10:42.480 --> 00:10:48.279
three weeks before the fire, an emergency proclamation was passed.
128
00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:51.159
It didn't use the words.
129
00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:55.080
Eminent domain, but it made it extremely clear that should
130
00:10:55.360 --> 00:10:59.039
there be a disaster, the state would take over and
131
00:10:59.080 --> 00:11:04.039
make decisions for that land. Now, in burn Back Better,
132
00:11:04.399 --> 00:11:11.360
I was concerned that the emergency proclamation would disappear with
133
00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:15.320
so many things that disappear on the Internet, and so
134
00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:20.600
I have that resolution in detail in my book, Burned
135
00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:21.519
Back Better.
136
00:11:22.039 --> 00:11:24.440
So what this book provides.
137
00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:29.320
Are all the oddities before the fire that set up
138
00:11:29.720 --> 00:11:36.159
through these resolutions, things from the mayor's office potentially the
139
00:11:36.200 --> 00:11:40.799
opportunity the door to take the land over. Now, in
140
00:11:40.840 --> 00:11:44.159
Sell the Alarm, we take a different approach. All the
141
00:11:44.360 --> 00:11:49.360
questions from burn Back Better we now begin to answer.
142
00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:53.159
In Sell the Alarm. We have not named criminals. We
143
00:11:53.240 --> 00:11:57.799
do not know who any criminals are. What we name
144
00:11:58.039 --> 00:12:03.480
are simply the innocent bystandards and pawns.
145
00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:05.360
I don't know what happened.
146
00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:08.600
I don't know who engineered the weather. I don't know
147
00:12:08.679 --> 00:12:12.440
who started the fire. There were three arson points on
148
00:12:12.879 --> 00:12:16.559
the island. One was across Lehina Luna. One was down
149
00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:20.320
in the brush that spread into the fields, which which
150
00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:24.039
ultimately those those two main points, in addition to one
151
00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:29.399
other with the with the winds, are what fueled that fire.
152
00:12:29.960 --> 00:12:31.879
The brush was not mitigated.
153
00:12:32.639 --> 00:12:42.039
So the police, utility companies, public works, agriculture, nobody is guilty.
154
00:12:42.559 --> 00:12:45.759
It was a concerted effort, a lot of bad decisions
155
00:12:45.799 --> 00:12:49.360
in direction. But I don't think the actual people of
156
00:12:49.440 --> 00:12:53.039
Leahina or any men and women in uniform on Mahina
157
00:12:53.120 --> 00:12:54.200
are guilty.
158
00:12:54.799 --> 00:13:00.320
Gotcha, gotcha. You know, Stephanie, you brought up a couple
159
00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:05.840
really important things that I want to kind of unpack here.
160
00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:10.440
But one of the things that I wanted to ask
161
00:13:10.519 --> 00:13:14.000
about was from what I'm reading, some of these homes
162
00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:18.480
weren't generational homes. And and then it was reported, and
163
00:13:18.879 --> 00:13:23.399
I believe that you have reported this as well as
164
00:13:23.480 --> 00:13:29.480
as others have, that some of the homeowners are paying
165
00:13:29.559 --> 00:13:35.960
like their homeowner association dues, they're paying their mortgages. I
166
00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:41.039
guess the Lahaina property owners are still paying their taxes
167
00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:46.919
and like the insurance proceeds that they got were also taxable.
168
00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:52.399
And then there's this four billion dollar settlement that was reached.
169
00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:55.639
But it wasn't just the homeowners. I mean, it wasn't
170
00:13:55.679 --> 00:13:59.960
all fire victims. It mentioned things in there about ensure
171
00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:04.240
or is it mentioned about utility companies? They were all
172
00:14:04.279 --> 00:14:07.600
involved in this lawsuit, and I'm wondering if you could
173
00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:10.279
just kind of unpack that a little bit for us,
174
00:14:10.399 --> 00:14:13.799
because I'm not sure is this like a payment to
175
00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:18.120
some so that they'll walk away Others who didn't get
176
00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:21.320
settlement will just rebuild. I mean, I know that the
177
00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:25.639
government has a real affinity for fifteen minute cities, and
178
00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:29.559
we know they're you know, executive orders they've put in
179
00:14:29.639 --> 00:14:33.279
place for conserving the land to have like solar panel
180
00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:37.799
and wind turbine farms. So what is this What is
181
00:14:37.840 --> 00:14:40.480
that all amount to or are they all separate things.
182
00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:48.039
So it started the day after the fire, when coincidentally,
183
00:14:49.159 --> 00:14:54.879
there were dozens of enormous boulders, I mean they weighed
184
00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:58.639
more than cars and they were set up along the
185
00:14:58.799 --> 00:15:02.279
highway over the b Pass. So that no one could
186
00:15:02.360 --> 00:15:07.080
look down into the burn zone. The next thing that
187
00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:11.799
happened the day after the fire is a five mile
188
00:15:12.039 --> 00:15:17.039
two point four million dollar dust screen or fence was
189
00:15:17.080 --> 00:15:20.559
erected so that no one could see into the burn zone.
190
00:15:21.159 --> 00:15:25.120
Now you mentioned Hawaii Real Estate. My friend Eric West,
191
00:15:25.639 --> 00:15:33.200
he is the number one most incredible citizen journalist in Lahina.
192
00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:36.519
He took drone footage, which is the only reason we
193
00:15:36.600 --> 00:15:40.200
know what happened to people's homes, et cetera. And then
194
00:15:40.320 --> 00:15:44.600
in addition to that, the Maui Community Investigation Group is
195
00:15:44.759 --> 00:15:49.799
right now working to get a fair and unbiased investigation
196
00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:55.559
of the fire. However, the people were not allowed to
197
00:15:55.720 --> 00:15:59.360
take pictures of their homes that were destroyed. They were
198
00:15:59.399 --> 00:16:03.679
still pay mortgages. In addition, insurance adjusters were not allowed
199
00:16:03.720 --> 00:16:07.440
in Now at this time, there is only of over
200
00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:10.679
twenty one hundred I think maybe even twenty two hundred
201
00:16:10.799 --> 00:16:15.519
homes destroyed. This was a residential area. Eighty six percent
202
00:16:15.559 --> 00:16:18.600
of what burned was residential homes, and a lot of them,
203
00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:22.320
like you said, were museums. They were in families for
204
00:16:22.679 --> 00:16:25.720
generations and generations. This is the former capital of the
205
00:16:25.799 --> 00:16:29.879
Kingdom of Hawaii, and only one home is being rebuilt.
206
00:16:30.200 --> 00:16:33.600
One of the reasons is, well, there's three main reasons.
207
00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:36.600
Number one, insurance adjusters weren't allowed in.
208
00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:37.639
In fact, I don't.
209
00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:40.279
Even know if they've people have been able to file
210
00:16:40.320 --> 00:16:41.840
claims yet on their homes.
211
00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:43.039
Very few have.
212
00:16:44.279 --> 00:16:47.279
I know maybe a couple people who've received some money
213
00:16:47.320 --> 00:16:51.159
for businesses that were lost through their insurance. So their
214
00:16:51.200 --> 00:16:56.240
paying mortgages on places that have been leveled and applying
215
00:16:56.279 --> 00:17:01.159
for permits is darn near impossible. Not only is laborious
216
00:17:01.200 --> 00:17:05.839
from the bureaucratic perspective, but in addition to that, for
217
00:17:05.960 --> 00:17:09.240
people to be able to rebuild, there will be easements,
218
00:17:09.279 --> 00:17:12.759
there will be underground utilities, there will be so many
219
00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:16.720
restrictions that your two thousand square foot home is going
220
00:17:16.759 --> 00:17:19.559
to be four hundred square feet like, there's just not
221
00:17:19.799 --> 00:17:23.240
going to be much left to build on. And in
222
00:17:23.279 --> 00:17:27.640
addition to that, it's just plain expensive. The average two
223
00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:32.839
bedroom condo is seven thousand dollars a month. So people
224
00:17:32.839 --> 00:17:37.599
are trying working in middle class or blue collar jobs,
225
00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:41.480
trying to pay a mortgage on one home, trying to
226
00:17:41.519 --> 00:17:44.039
pay rent on another home and stay on the island,
227
00:17:44.559 --> 00:17:48.440
not to mention all the different infrastructure they'll need to
228
00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:52.720
build in order to get a home back in Lahina. Therefore,
229
00:17:53.720 --> 00:17:57.440
based on all that information, we don't think it's possible
230
00:17:57.480 --> 00:17:59.960
that many people will be able to rebuild.
231
00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:03.119
Now, in terms of the settlement, it's kind of this.
232
00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:09.119
Game where there was four billion dollars awarded, Maybe two
233
00:18:09.160 --> 00:18:13.039
billion will go to the victims, and maybe it will
234
00:18:13.079 --> 00:18:16.759
be awarded in the spring of.
235
00:18:16.640 --> 00:18:17.720
Twenty twenty five.
236
00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:22.519
However, we don't know how it's being allocated. What if
237
00:18:23.319 --> 00:18:25.359
people do receive let's say.
238
00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:26.759
A million dollars per family.
239
00:18:26.839 --> 00:18:29.160
I'm making that number up, by the way, but let's
240
00:18:29.279 --> 00:18:32.400
just say people are receiving a million dollars, two million dollars.
241
00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:36.519
I still think they put so much red tape in
242
00:18:36.599 --> 00:18:40.400
place that it's going to be darn near impossible to rebuild.
243
00:18:40.480 --> 00:18:46.200
What's more, the island is assertively pushing bills like Senate
