  1. Wait a second the Chief of Police said they are not going to do this fast they will do it right. Does that mean they do it fast most of the time ? They should do it right all of the time what are they getting paid for then?

  2. Can we please find some better candidates then Biden and Trump? Seriously are you all saying that those two are the best we have? I did not hear any plan or funding to help rebuild Hawaii. You know how much death we have had in the last 8 years? The government can't fix anything and those planes almost crashing into each other is from over worked underpaid flight controllers. Where is all the bailout money they gave to the airlines? Pocketed again? Why are they not loans?

  3. So Trump is "Insulting to republican voters", hes "scared"…"Its a shame for republican voters". Trump knows what a circus a debate would be for him.
    There wouldn't be any questions regarding running the country directed at him. It would just be a snipping lying circus. A show of bad behavior. Just sample the "nonbiased" NBC news journalist above. Trump is fine. The voters already know him. And, its pretty obvious voters know what they want.
    My only concern about Trump is; can he get right on Ukraine? Putin can't be allowed to have 'controling' influence in the world. Tyrants can't invade another country, 'JUST BECAUSE THEY WANT IT'! Putin has to be stopped right their, at Ukraine! Complete withdrawal, No negotiations, no occupation of one inch of Ukrainian soil. If the little psycho is allowed to succeed here; we will all regret it for generations. And, maybe for all time. Trump needs to kick his little friend to the curb.

  4. Tim the (Tortoise) Scott is a true and dedicated Yassa boss.

  5. Thank you President Biden for your understandable delayed visit to Maui. There are many other important presidential duties in these challenging times such as the successful signing of the trilateral pact with our Allie’s Korea and Japan. Well done!

  6. Bureaucracy is Communism, only by another name. Like a wolf in sheep's clothing.

  7. Good excuse… On not sounding them alarms.. n the dude left office? Good way on pretty saying that the people in Maui are dumb n don't know how to run AWAY FROM FIRE. WAKE UP PEOPLE, THEY DID THIS. JUST LIKE 911.. LOOK DEEP, WITHIN EVERYTHING AND YOURSELF. THE TRUTH WILL BE FOUND. How do you know their Mr God's that them people would have ran towards the fire.. let's get real… What's done in the dark will be brought to the light. Remember that.

  8. Biden is giving money to Maui contingent on passing a bill that gives Ukraine twice the amount. He cares about himself, and just in case you missed it, he also tried to compare a kitchen fire where he "almost" lost his precious Corvette. What a narcissist. The audacity to compare the "almost loss of your car, and fooling the idiots that like you into believing your empathetic, is pathetic . Go look up the entire speech. Ukraine 1st America last. He cares nothing about this country. On a good note, at least he stopped lying about his wife being killed by a drunk driver!

  9. Trump can't go toe to toe with any of the candidates. He does not want to show how much of a dumas he is.

  10. Too many questions to ask about this

  11. Crumbling Bumbling Joe..

  12. LOL SO JOE BIDEN WENT THERE TO GIVE THEM A SPEECH LOL

  13. So when Trump brings gasoline down to under $2 that means you guys still have to pay $4 it makes every conservative so happy that Donald Trump lives in your head 24/7… Every Democrat owes him rent😂😂😂 Trump is King 👑

  14. biden is such a puppet.

  15. This Maui situation is a grave tradegy, condolensces to all the families who have lost loved ones, the property destruction is immense. However, at this time, the first and foremost thing that should be in the minds of authorities and all involved, including survivors, is to locate all persons, who may be alive and or deceased, and identifying persons for closure, that should be on the top of the list. After that is completed peoploe can then look for answers and possible solutions for future possibilities. At this time , all I keep hearing in the news is people looking for someone to blame, sadly that should be the last thing on any rationale persons mind, a sensible rationale person would seek location and closure of loved ones before anything else, to grieve either in private or otherwise, before attempting anything else. Rationale.

  16. What is he babbling on about?

  17. Under Surveillance we need every country under Surveillance

  18. Attack against GOD he gave us a promise to never flood the world then a rainbow 🌈 came out. They are taking power by adding chaos

  19. As far as sounding the alarms, hind sight is always 20/20. So sad for the people of Maui. Loved Joe sharing his loss experience of his family. Relating to people greiving is important. He wanted to reassure them that our country cares. Unlike our former potus who can't relate to a rock.

  20. Communication 101 Trump needs to take these classes and build his platform

  21. Do we trust everyone especially news anchors

  22. How can he talk about himself unbelievable

  23. The mainstream media is nothing but propaganda for the corrupt bureaucracy Biden is a criminal

  24. How many immigrants arenin America

  25. They know they love Fashion and they Look so homely

  26. Is President Biden being abused

  27. Homeless is a War Tactic they are ready at any moment and we won't be ready

  28. There are three disqualifications for being eligible to run for president: being underage, being foreign born, AND participating in or giving aid and comfort to an insurrection.
    Trump is NOT eligible to be on the ballot in any state.

  29. Ya Biden made the same promise to the Native Americans and look how that worked out.

  30. Land should be sold to not just maui resident but it should be an opportunity for Hawaiians that want a chance to come back to the islands.

  31. 🤬state propaganda🙉🙊🙈why was the water cut off?????😠

  32. George W Bush and Laura, his wife, had a War Attack in 2001.

  33. I am probably your only fan

  34. Doesn't he know Hawaii IS in America!?!

  35. If trump is not guilty like he says ..:then let ‘s go forward w the trial as soon as possible IF he is Innocent..don’t delay the trial…

  36. Super painful to listen to Biden. Geesh he rambles and mumbles when speaking – not presidential. Prayers for every community suffering from wildfires and loss of life. ❤‍🩹

  37. He don’t want to debate .. he don’t support free democracy … he tells his supporters he is king he will fix everything , he is the next coming .. and they worship him like a god. LoL Stop entertaining this monster lol

  38. Grandpa Sniffer is a disgusting excuse for a human

  39.
