Plus, Tim and Matt Fleming discuss the Super Bowl and the constitutional questions surrounding President Trump's efforts to reform the federal government and eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse in government spending.
Michael Miske came from a broken home through years of petty crime to lead a gang of lost boys in Honolulu, cornering its drug scene and befriending cops to build an empire of pain in the Aloha State. But when Miske's son slammed his car into a truck and died, it sent the kingpin on a spiral of misplaced rage — ending in murder, conspiracy and even a chemical weapon attack. Even when the law caught up with him, Miske had one last trick up his sleeve. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Hawaii has been a popular choice among leisure travelers ever since the advent of jet airlines in the mid-20th century, and it's easy to understand why. However, in the year 2024, Hawaii is poised to stand out as an exceptional destination. Maui, in particular, is diligently working towards the recovery of its tourism industry. This effort involves striking a delicate balance, emphasizing respect for the recovery and rebuilding endeavors in Lahaina while also conveying that the entirety of the island is open for visitors.Lately, we have heard from eager travelers searching for those enticing last-minute Hawaii getaways. But here's the thing, Hawaii doesn't quite follow the same rules as other typical vacation spots. While you might stumble upon seemingly low airfare, it often comes with a set of restrictions and, more often than not, coincides with a period when everything else is priced significantly higher – we're talking about hotel rooms and more. Airfare to Hawaii Pitfalls I've noticed that those who plan for a long weekend getaway to our beautiful islands are often taken aback by the sticker shock when they start browsing for hotel accommodations. Hawaii's allure may come at a price that surprises the unprepared traveler. Other destinations across the Aloha State are facing similar challenges. They are grappling with ensuring that tourism contributes positively to the local economy without negatively impacting the communities where residents live and work. Despite these challenges, it's important to note that tourism remains Hawaii's largest industry, and its position as one of the most coveted destinations in the world remains unshaken.Contrary to common belief, airfare to Hawaii can be unpredictable. Waiting until the last minute to book your flight can result in significantly higher costs. Last-minute fares often double, triple, or even quadruple compared to early bookings. Therefore, it's crucial to plan and book your flights in advance to secure reasonable prices.While many sources advise on the optimal booking window (typically one to three months in advance), this may not apply to Hawaii. Hawaii's airfare and hotel pricing dynamics are different. Booking too far in advance can sometimes be as costly as booking too late. It's essential to strike the right balance and not rush into booking too early. Remember that Hawaii's travel timing differs from other destinations, so relying on general advice may not be suitable. Be mindful of the unique considerations when planning your trip to the Hawaiian Islands. Airfare to Hawaii Prices Airfare to Hawaii can vary widely depending on factors such as the departure city, time of booking, airline, class of service, and travel dates. Here are estimated ranges for round-trip airfare from the West Coast, Midwest, and East Coast of the United States to the Hawaiian Islands: West Coast (e.g., Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle) Economy Class: $300 to $700 USD or more Premium Economy: $700 to $1,200 USD or more Business Class: $1,500 to $3,000 USD or more First Class: $2,500 to $5,000 USD or more.

Lead Balloon - Public Relations, Marketing and Strategic Communications Disaster Stories
On January 18, 2018, the entire State of Hawaii received an ear piercing alert on their cell phones. "BALLISTIC MISSILE THREAT INBOUND TO HAWAII. SEEK IMMEDIATE SHELTER. THIS IS NOT A DRILL." Those with a keen memory will recall that the Aloha State was NOT, in fact, wiped off the map by a missile strike. It was a false alarm. But what it revealed about the Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) system should concern every strategic communicator. Because while the WEA system has the potential to be a powerful lifesaving tool, it is routinely misused by emergency managers and misunderstood by the public. With little to no federal oversight, the manner in which this system is used is left up to more than 1,600 local jurisdictions. As a result, users are being bombarded with too many notifications that are not germane to their immediate safety, and that is conditioning us to ignore potentially life-saving alerts in the future. So in this episode, we parse lessons from Hawaii's WEA SNAFU with Commander Bhavini Murthy, a medical epidemiologist and researcher with the U.S. Public Health Service, and Dr. John Anderton, the Associate Director for Communication at the Centers for Disease Control's Office of Readiness and Response. We learn from an expert on WEA messaging what jurisdictions nationwide are doing incorrectly. Dr. Jeanette Sutton is an Associate Professor in the College of Emergency Preparedness, Homeland Security and Cybersecurity at the State University of New York at Albany. And, Dusty works to instigate WEA reforms in his own backyard with Milwaukee County Supervisor Shawn Rolland. By the way, if you've ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear missile strike, here are some resources from the CDC: https://www.cdc.gov/nceh/radiation/emergencies/index.htm Learn more about your ad choices.

B-O-H-N-E-T MA.com/crosspolitic We start today’s newsbrief by heading to Hawaii. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/how-did-hawaii-wildfires-start-what-know-about-maui-big-island-blazes-2023-08-11/ Wildfires on Hawaii's Maui have killed at least 96 people, forced tens of thousands of residents and tourists to evacuate the island and devastated the historic resort city of luh-hai-nuh. It's the deadliest U.S. wildfire in more than a century. The Big Island of Hawaii is also battling wildfires, which have caused no fatalities. Firefighting crews were still battling flare-ups. The largest fire in Lahaina is 85% contained and has burned 2,170 acres (880 hectares), Maui County said. Another fire in upcountry/Kula is 60% contained and has charred 678 acres (270 hectares). Smaller fires elsewhere are now 100% contained. The fires, which started the night of Aug. 8, wreaked widespread destruction in Lahaina. The city of about 13,000 people on northwestern Maui was once a whaling center and the Hawaiian Kingdom's capital, and now draws 2 million tourists a year. Cadaver dogs searched Lahaina's charred ruins for victims, and officials said it was likely the number of dead would rise. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) estimates it will cost $5.5 billion to rebuild the town. The Maui blaze is the deadliest U.S. wildfire since 1918, when northern Minnesota's Cloquet Fire, which raged for more than four days, claimed 453 lives, according to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). The deadliest wildfire in U.S history, Wisconsin's Peshtigo fire in 1871, killed 1,152. Hawaii's fires also constitute the most lethal disaster to hit the islands since a tsunami that killed 61 people in 1960, a year after Hawaii became a U.S. state. Some Maui residents have questioned whether more could have been done to warn them. Witnesses said they had little warning, describing their terror as the blaze destroyed Lahaina in what seemed like minutes. Some people dove into the Pacific Ocean to escape. Sirens stationed around the island - intended to warn of impending natural disasters - never sounded, and widespread power and cellular outages hampered other forms of alerting. Hawaii Governor Josh Green vowed on Sunday to investigate the response and emergency notification systems. The causes of the fires have not yet been determined. The National Weather Service had issued warnings for the Hawaiian Islands for high winds and dry weather - conditions ripe for wildfires. Nearly 85% of U.S. wildfires are caused by humans, according to the U.S. Forest Service. Natural causes include lightning and volcanic activity. In Hawaii, less than 1% of fires are due to natural causes, according to Elizabeth Pickett, co-executive director of the Hawaii Wildfire Management Organization. The Hawaiian Islands have six active volcanoes, including one on Maui. The spread of flammable non-native grasses in areas of former farmland and forest has created large amounts of small, easily ignited materials that increase the risk and severity of fire. Record-setting heat this summer has contributed to unusually severe wildfires in Europe and western Canada. Scientists say climate change, driven by fossil fuel use, has led to more frequent and more powerful extreme weather events. What was Biden’s response to all this? https://nypost.com/2023/08/14/biden-slammed-for-no-comment-response-to-maui-wildfire/ Biden slammed for silence on Maui wildfire catastrophe President Biden had yet to offer a verbal statement Monday evening in response to the mounting death toll in the catastrophic Maui wildfire — the deadliest US blaze in more than a century — after spending the weekend sunning himself on the beach near his Delaware vacation home. The 80-year-old commander-in-chief avoided reporters upon his return to Washington Monday morning, walking directly across the White House lawn to the Oval Office without approaching the press to give a statement on the tragedy, as US leaders often do. The White House later put out a statement on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, taking note of the carnage in Maui and detailing government resources on offer to beleaguered residents. “As residents of Hawai’i mourn the loss of life and devastation taking place across their beautiful home, we mourn with them. Like I’ve said, not only our prayers are with those impacted – but every asset we have will be available to them,” read the statement attributed to Biden. A day earlier, the president offered a stony-hearted “No comment” when asked about the death toll, which has climbed to at least 96. During a bike ride Sunday morning, Biden gave a similar unfeeling answer when asked about the tragedy. “We’re looking at it,” he said when asked if he planned to visit the Aloha State. Biden is currently scheduled to visit Wisconsin Tuesday and travel to Camp David Thursday to meet with the leaders of South Korea and Japan the following day. He is then due to travel to Lake Tahoe, Nev. and remain there until Aug. 24. Bloomberg reporter Justin Sink posted a photo of Biden lounging with a group of people on Rehoboth Beach Sunday afternoon, triggering outrage on social media. “I campaigned for you,” raged former Hawaii legislator Kaniela Ing early Monday. “Now, when I lose dozens of my friends, family, and neighbors. This?” “You’ll hear from the president on this,” Jean-Pierre promised. “I don’t have anything to announce at this time, but certainly, he’s the president and you’re going to hear from him.” https://www.breitbart.com/border/2023/08/13/exclusive-40k-migrants-apprehended-along-southwest-border-in-first-10-days-of-august/ 40K Migrants Apprehended Along Southwest Border in First 10 Days of August Border Patrol agents apprehended nearly 40,000 migrants along the southwest border during the first ten days of August. The Tucson and Rio Grande Valley Sectors reported more than 10,000 each. Unofficial reports obtained from law enforcement by Breitbart Texas reveal that during the first ten days of August, Border Patrol agents apprehended 39,324 migrants who illegally crossed the border between ports of entry. This is an average of 5,708 apprehensions per day. The Tucson and Rio Grande Valley Sectors reported 10,867 and 10,465 migrant apprehensions, respectively. The five Texas-based border sectors accounted for 23,119 of the 39,324 migrant apprehensions. Following a sharp drop in June, migrant apprehensions reportedly spiked again in July with the arrest of more than 130,000 migrants, the Washington Post reported. If the current apprehension rate in August continues, U.S. Customs and Border Protection could report the apprehension of nearly 177,000 migrants in August. Now this! https://www.reuters.com/article/uganda-lgbt-president-idAFL8N39R0ZU Uganda president defiant after World Bank funding suspended over LGBT law Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni on Thursday denounced the World Bank’s decision to suspend new funding in response to a harsh anti-LGBTQ law and vowed to find alternative sources of credit. The World Bank said on Tuesday that the law, which imposes the death penalty for certain same-sex acts, contradicted its values and that it would pause new funding until it could test measures to prevent discrimination in projects it finances. The World Bank has an existing portfolio of $5.2 billion in Uganda, although these projects will not be affected. The anti-LGBTQ law, enacted in May, has drawn widespread denunciation from local and international rights organisations and Western governments, though it is popular domestically. Museveni said in a statement that Uganda was trying to reduce its borrowing in any case and would not give in to pressure from foreign institutions. “It is, therefore, unfortunate that the World Bank and other actors dare to want to coerce us into abandoning our faith, culture, principles and sovereignty, using money. They really underestimate all Africans,” he said. Museveni said that if Uganda needed to borrow, it could do so from other sources, and that oil production expected to start by 2025 would provide additional revenues. He added he hoped the World Bank would reconsider its decision. In June, the United States imposed visa restrictions on some Ugandan officials in response to the law. President Joe Biden also ordered a review of U.S. aid to Uganda.

This week, we're talking with one of the most prolific independent gun litigators in the country. Alan Beck set about successfully undoing the country's stun gun bans in the wake of the Supreme Court's 2016 Caetano ruling. He also challenged Hawaii's effective ban on gun carry in Young. Now, he's back taking on the Aloha State's strict gun laws in the wake of 2022's Bruen. And he's winning. This week alone he notched victories in two different cases against Hawaii. First, a Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals panel ruled the state's total ban on butterfly knives violates the Second Amendment. Then a federal judge appointed by Barack Obama found Hawaii's post-Bruen "sensitive places" gun-carry restrictions, including in restaurants, also run afoul of the Second Amendment. Beck explains the ins and outs of those rulings as well as their significant implications for future cases in Hawaii and beyond. Then he describes a new suit he just filed against a Hawaii county trying to force concealed-carry permit applicants to waive nearly all of their privacy rights, including what they've told their lawyers or even priests. Plus, Contributing Writer Jake Fogleman and I discuss the Supreme Court's intervention into the "ghost gun" case. Special Guest: Alan Beck.

This week, it's paranormal stories from The Aloha State to True Crime in the wrestling world.

But this is not your normal neighborhood ghost…listen to find out about the man-eating ghost creature from Japanese folklore that is believed to be behind this house of horrors!Next, Felicia tells us the tragic story of Bruiser Brody aka Frank Goodish, a professional wrestler from the ‘80s who was stabbed by another wrestler backstage before a match and later died.

Episode Notes People who want knowledge about the travel industry on Wednesday got a valuable new resource to obtain critical information. Skift unveiled Ask Skift, an artificial intelligence chatbot that will answer your questions focused on the travel sector, says Skift founder and CEO Rafat Ali. Ali writes that a user can ask questions on Skift's website such as “How is Airbnb planning to leverage AI?” or “Who is IHG's CEO?” Ask Skift has been trained on the entirety of Skift archives over the last 11 years, including daily stories and research reports. The chatbot will also provide other specialized travel industry content and data in weeks to come. Ali said the emergence of generative AI is enabling Skift to have a question and answer-based relationship with readers that wasn't feasible before. Next, JetBlue Airways believes it's taken a big step to boosting revenue. The company has made major updates effective Wednesday to its already lucrative loyalty program, reports Edward Russell, editor of Airline Weekly, a Skift publication. JetBlue's updated loyalty program includes new elite Mosaic tiers and perks, including free business class upgrades and free helicopter transfers between JFK Airport and Manhattan. Russell writes that the driving force behind JetBlue's loyalty updates is the opportunity to earn more revenue. The New York-based carrier generated $100 million in loyalty-related revenue in the first quarter. That's a 14 percent year-over-year increase. Finally, the Hawaii Tourism Authority is continuing to market the Aloha State despite not being allocated funding from the state legislature for the next two years. The agency is planning to award a huge contract to market Hawaii to the U.S. mainland, writes Global Tourism Reporter Dawit Habtemariam. Habtemariam reports Hawaii Tourism Authority executives decided at a recent board meeting to award a marketing contract worth up to $51 million. The organization also plans to move forward with a $34 million contract for destination management as well as a nearly $3 million contract to market the state to Canadian travelers. Habtemariam adds the contact winners will be selected on May 22.
Episode Notes Social media influencers have become more powerful in marketing in recent years, with a growing number of companies looking to tap into their sometimes-enormous reach. That list includes destination marketing organizations, or tourism boards, that are developing more sophisticated marketing strategies for influencers as part of their plans to attract tourists, writes Global Tourism Reporter Dawit Habtemariam. Habtemariam writes what influencers say about travel can have more clout than other types of advertising. San Francisco Travel CEO Joe D'Alessandro said the words of an influencer are more trustworthy for many people than an ad the organization may air. A 2022 Pew Research survey found 53 percent of social media users purchased something after seeing an influencer they follow post about it. Habtemariam notes destinations are increasingly shopping for suitable influencers instead of just waiting to receive pitches from them. Discover Puerto is launching a request for proposal for an agency to assist with its influencer marketing strategy. Chief Marketing Officer Leah Chandler said the quality of influencers is much higher than compared to five or 10 years ago. Meanwhile, the U.S. national tourism marketing agency Brand USA has a program that loans out trusted international influencers to partner destinations. Next, InterContinental Hotels Group CEO Keith Barr announced on Friday he's stepping down after six years at the helm, Skift co-founder Jason Clampet and Travel Experiences Reporter Selene Brophy report. Barr cited family as the reason why he's leaving his post at the UK-based company. He said during IHG's first-quarter earnings call that the time was right to return to the U.S. considering his daughters will be studying in the country. Barr, who joined IHG in 2000, added he has been living outside the U.S. for roughly 20 years. IHG's Americas CEO Elie Maalouf will succeed Barr effective June 30. IHG reported that its first-quarter revenue per available room, an important industry metric, was up nearly 7 percent from 2019 levels. The company received a boost from its average daily rates rising 10 percent from pre-Covid levels. Finally, the Hawaii Tourism Authority will have fewer resources for its marketing effortsamid widespread frustration in the state with the industry. The agency has been excluded from the state budget, writes Global Tourism Reporter Habtemariam. Habtemariam reports the Hawaii Tourism Authority now has to request funds from the state's budgeting and finance department. The governor and legislature will have to approve any funding requests. Habtemariam adds the state government will ensure the agency focuses more on destination management instead of marketing. Lawmakers in the Aloha State recently came close to passing a bill that would have dissolved the Hawaii Tourism Authority.

Today we meet with Amber Imai-Hong, an Avionics Engineer and Outreach Specialist. Born and raised on Hawaii Island, Amber developed skills in robotics, astronomy, and tinkering while attending Wa ia kea High School which lead her to join a small satellite team in her freshman year at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, where she majored in Electrical Engineering with a focus on Electrophysics. She graduated with her Bachelors of Science in 2012 and has been working with the Hawaii Space Flight Laboratory on spacecraft design, development, testing, operations, and community educational outreach. Over the past 14 years, Amber has worked on eleven satellite projects, three suborbital payloads, and has mentored several student teams who worked on the development of testing systems and spacecraft components. In May 2020, she became the Program Manager for the Artemis CubeSat Kit with the goalof developing a low-cost educational satellite kit for community college and undergraduate students with no formal aerospace program. In July 2021, she won one of the Governor's Emergency Educational Relief Grants to bring the satellite kit to middle and high schools across Hawai`i. Hands-on science education and community involvement are very important to Amber. She is actively involved in the robotics and STEM community. Engaging students and their parents in science and technology is critically important to helping undeserved communities. Through her work with the Hawaii Space Grant Consortium, Amber continues to work with teachers, parents, and community leaders, and robotics advisors to find new ways to bring science to the Aloha State. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/shawna-christenson2/support
Comedian Jo Koy opens up about his first box office movie “Easter Sunday” on this week's ‘Muthaship' podcast. The film mirrors some of Koy's real-life relationships with his mother and son and mixes in plenty of laughs as his wacky Filipino family suddenly finds themselves in an unexpected adventure. Koy says his main motivation for the movie was to shine the spotlight on AAPI talent and the Filipino culture, which he says has been largely underrepresented on the big screen. He also talks about an emotional moment that he shared with his co-star, Hawaii-born actress Tia Carrere, his deep connection with the Aloha State and his favorite ono grinds.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
