FUN HALF LINK HERE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDKZ_baYEXA&ab_channel=TheMajorityReportw%2FSamSeder It's another EmMajority Report Thursday! She speaks with Ben Terris, writer in the Washington Post's Style section, to discuss his recent book The Big Break: The Gamblers, Party Animals, and True Believers Trying to Win in Washington While America Loses Its Mind. Then, she's joined by Kaniela Ing, National Director of the Green New Deal Network and former member of the Hawaii House of Representatives, to discuss the ongoing recovery efforts from the Maui wildfires, and how the aftereffects of colonialism are still affecting Hawaii to this day. First, Emma runs through updates on the Maui wildfires' climbing death toll, another wildfire in Canada, Trump's legal cases, Rudy's legal bills, the upcoming UAW strike vote, abortion rights in the US, action from far-right legislatures in the US, and a potential Lula-Biden meeting, before diving into recent revelations on Roger Stone's most unsurprising role in Trump's conspiracy. Ben Terris then joins, diving right into his project studying the impact of Trump's “shock” to the DC system, and how his victory inflamed all of the worst elements of the Capitol, making it somehow even more grifty, shifty, and power-hungry. Terris dives into his work profiling Matt Schlapp, Robert Stryk, and Sean McElwee, to explore how they capitalized on a shifting power structure in DC by clinging firmly to Trump, knowing the right people, and betting their way to the top, respectively. Kaniela Ing then joins as he first provides background on the devastating impact of the recent wildfires in Maui, burning through the capital of the Hawaiian Kingdom, Lahaina, with thousands missing alongside the over 100 declared dead. After walking through the response from the Hawaiian community, as well as the best way to help from the outside, Ing and Emma tackle the ongoing invasion of disaster capitalists in the wake, attempting to extort devastated Hawaiians for their land, and coming in under the guise of aid solely to exploit. Wrapping up, Kaniela walks through Hawaii's history with colonial capitalism (particularly in the wake of disasters), and what the major challenges of the rebuilding process will be. And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Brandon Sutton and Matt Binder as they discuss the outrageous second attempt at canceling Richard Hanania for doing race science again, watch Bill Maher expertly interrupt Marianne Williamson to explain that poor people don't matter because he can't see them, and a caller from Baltimore poorly starts a conversation on law and marginalized rights. Nick from Houston Food Not Bombs calls in to explore Houston's criminalization of feeding the homeless as a part of the US' greater fascistic attack on the unhoused, and Kristi Noem makes Hillary Clinton look good. Rudy Giuliani continues his pathetic little downfall, and Guy from Charlotte calls in about the Right's love for ahistory, plus, your calls and IMs!

A young girl was raised on a rice farm in rural Japan when, at seven years old, her mother left her abusive husband and sailed with her two elder children to Hawaii, crossing the Pacific in steerage in search of a better life. That young girl would become the first Asian-American woman and the only immigrant serving in the United States Senate. Senator Mazie K. Hirono joined us to share from her deeply personal memoir, Heart of Fire: An Immigrant Daughter's Story, which traces her remarkable life from her earliest days in Hawaii to her emergence as a highly effective and passionate legislator. In conversation with award-winning writer and fellow immigrant Viet Thanh Nguyen, Senator Hirono talked about the immigrant experience. She related how she entered first grade not being able to read or speak English, and her family lived in a single room in a Honolulu boarding house while her mother worked two jobs to keep them afloat. Those beginnings tied directly to her work as a legislator, determined to help the most vulnerable with a purpose that was grounded in her own experiences of economic insecurity, lack of healthcare access, and family separation–fighting hardest to ensure that a story like hers is still possible in this country. Finally, she explored her emergence, from dogged yet soft-spoken public servant into the frank and fiery advocate we see today, describing how she fought for causes she believed in while striving to remain polite and reserved, both because she had been steeped in nonconfrontational cultures and because she was a woman in politics. But in 2016, as she felt the impending force of a dangerous administration and crucial battles with lasting implications raged, Senator Hirono felt called to give voice to the fire that had always been inside her. Don't miss this compelling and moving account of a woman coming into her own power over the course of a lifetime in public service–and of the mother whose courageous choice made that life possible. Senator Mazie K. Hirono is a graduate of the University of Hawaii, Manoa and the Georgetown University Law Center. She has served in the Hawaii House of Representatives (1981-1994), as Hawaii's lieutenant governor (1994-2002), and in the U.S. House of Representatives (2006-2013). She became Hawaii's first female senator in 2013, winning reelection in 2018. Hirono serves on the Committee on the Judiciary, the Committee on Armed Services, and the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, among others. Viet Thanh Nguyen's novel The Sympathizer won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and numerous other awards. His most recent publication is the sequel to The Sympathizer, The Committed. His other books are a short story collection, The Refugees; Nothing Ever Dies: Vietnam and the Memory of War (a finalist for the National Book Award in nonfiction and the National Book Critics Circle Award in General Nonfiction); and Race and Resistance: Literature and Politics in Asian America. He has also published Chicken of the Sea, a children's book written in collaboration with his six-year-old son, Ellison. He is a University Professor, the Aerol Arnold Chair of English, and a Professor of English, American Studies and Ethnicity, and Comparative Literature at the University of Southern California. A recipient of fellowships from the Guggenheim and MacArthur Foundations, he is also a contributing opinion writer for the New York Times and the editor of The Displaced: Refugee Writers on Refugee Lives.

Please consider a paid subscription to this daily podcast. Everyday I will interview 2 or more expert guests on a wide range of issues. I will continue to be transparent about my life, issues and vulnerabilities in hopes we can relate, connect and grow together. Join the Stand Up Community I was really excited to get the opportunity to Interview Senator Mazie Hirono who I have watched kick the crap out of everyone from her seat on the Senate Judiciary Committee from Brett Kavanaugh to Bill Barr. She has written an important, powerful and enlightening memoir about her life and service and it's a great read. It's called Heart of Fire AN IMMIGRANT DAUGHTER'S STORY Senator Mazie K. Hirono is a graduate of the University of Hawaii, Manoa and the Georgetown University Law Center. She has served in the Hawaii House of Representatives (1981-1994), as Hawaii’s lieutenant governor (1994-2002), and in the U.S. House of Representatives (2006-2013). She became Hawaii’s first female senator in 2013, winning reelection in 2018. Hirono serves on the Committee on the Judiciary, the Committee on Armed Services, and the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, among others. Mazie Hirono is one of the most fiercely outspoken Democrats in Congress, but her journey to the U.S. Senate was far from likely. Raised on a rice farm in rural Japan, she was seven years old when her mother, Laura, left her abusive husband and sailed with her two elder children to Hawaii, crossing the Pacific in steerage in search of a better life. Though the girl then known as “Keiko” did not speak or read English when she entered first grade, she would go on to serve as a state representative and as Hawaii’s lieutenant governor before winning election to Congress in 2006.  In this deeply personal memoir, Hirono traces her remarkable life from her earliest days in Hawaii, when the family lived in a single room in a Honolulu boarding house while her mother worked two jobs to keep them afloat, to her emergence as a highly effective legislator whose determination to help the most vulnerable was grounded in her own experiences of economic insecurity, lack of healthcare access, and family separation. Finally, it chronicles Hirono’s recent transformation from dogged yet soft-spoken public servant into the frank and fiery advocate we know her as today. For the vast majority of Mazie Hirono’s five decades in public service, even as she fought for the causes she believed in, she strove to remain polite and reserved. Steeped in the nonconfrontational cultures of Japan and Hawaii, and aware of the expectations of women in politics–chiefly, that they should never show an excess of emotion–she had schooled herself to bite her tongue, even as her male colleagues continually underestimated her. After the 2016 election, however, she could moderate herself no longer. In the face of a dangerous administration–and amid crucial battles with lasting implications for our democracy, from the Kavanaugh hearings to the impeachment trial–Senator Hirono was called to give voice to the fire that had always been inside her. The compelling and moving account of a woman coming into her own power over the course of a lifetime in public service, and of the mother whose courageous choices made her life possible, Heart of Fire is the story of a uniquely American journey, told by one of those fighting hardest to ensure that a story like hers is still possible in this country. My second guest today is Professor Colin Jerolmack. We talked about his excellent new book Up to Heaven and Down to Hell: Fracking, Freedom, and Community in an American Town Here is all of his info from his website.... I am a professor of Sociology and Environmental Studies at New York University. I am also chair of the Dept. of Environmental Studies. My new book, Up to Heaven and Down to Hell: Fracking, Freedom, and Community in an American Town (Princeton University Press, April 2021), is an intimate, ethnographic account of what happens when one of the most momentous decisions about the well-being of our communities and our planet—whether or not to extract shale gas and oil from the very land beneath our feet—is largely a private choice that millions of ordinary people make without the public’s consent. Based on time I spent living in a rural Pennsylvania community, the book documents the dramatic confrontation between personal sovereignty and the public good that unfolds from the fact that landowners have the right to lease the subsurface of their property for oil and gas development. This "deeply reported" (Publisher's Weekly) community study reveals "the tradeoffs that follow from America's liberty-loving ways" (Sarah Smarsh [author of Heartland], the Atlantic). What's more, it serves as a lens through which to understand the cultural polarization that drives so much of contemporary American politics and stymies efforts to combat climate change.

Our guest today is Adrian Tam, the son of Chinese immigrants, who took 63% of the vote against his opponent Republican Nicholas Ochs for a seat in the Hawaii House of Representatives. Ochs, is known as the leader of the Hawaiian "Proud Boys" and had a campaign Facebook page that was deleted by the social media giant for violating terms of its service and community standards.  We talk to the newly elected congressman today about LGBTQ election victories, especially in the face of rank racism and homophobia. Adrian endured a never-ending diatribe of hatred during the campaign, both over his sexual orientation and even in multi-ethnic/cultural Hawai'i, his background as the son of immigrant parents from Hong Kong and Taiwan.  Ochs' supporters bombarded his campaign's social media to the point where the messages from his own voters were drowned out. Ochs has a checkered history on Oahu with minority groups. He has been criticized in the past for offensive posts toward Black, Jewish and LGBTQ communities.   Hawai'i's 22nd district has tremendous issues with homeless residents, the state itself has the third highest rate of homelessness in the nation. Adrian said that in addition to battling the coronavirus pandemic- he will focus on this issue. This marks a difference from his primary opponent, former five-term State Rep. Tom Brower, who waged war on the homeless in the district, most notably smashing and throwing out their belongings. Adrian was one of the 155 state legislative and local governmental candidates endorsed by the LGBT Victory Fund, the Washington D.C. based political action organization that assists in electing LGBTQ politicos across the United States.   With co-host Brody Levesque

PR veteran Rick Miller joins Tim to talk about helping Dockers change the way people dress in the office. He and his team played a part in the launch of the now ubiquitous “business casual” dress code. In this episode he talks about some of the keys to getting society to change its mindset about fashion and other things. https://traffic.libsyn.com/shapingopinion/Business_Casual_auphonic.mp3 Depending on your age, you may not remember a time when wearing a suit to work was a requirement for most men. And for women, it was almost mandatory that they wear a skirt and heels to the office. That all started to change in a big way in California in the early 1990s, but the birth of “business casual” can be traced further back – to the 1960s and Hawaii. In the 1960s, Bill Foster was the president of the Hawaiian Fashion Guild. The Guild was trying to figure out a way to sell more of those iconic and colorful Aloha shirts to Hawaiian residents, not just tourists. So, they launched a campaign called Operation Liberation. The project provided two Aloha shirts to every member of the Hawaii House of Representatives and the Hawaii Senate. The goal of the campaign was to get politicians to allow government workers to wear the seasonal shirts to beat the summer heat and to support the state's garment industry, while making a fashion statement for the state's tourism industry. By 1966, the custom was dubbed Aloha Friday, because Fridays became the day when it was socially acceptable to wear your Aloha shirt to work if you lived in Hawaii. Meanwhile, around the same time on the Mainland in California, one of the anchor companies in Silicon Valley had its own fashion ideas. Hewlett-Packard says it was the first to introduce casual attire in the workplace. The company called Fridays its “Blue Sky Days,” and it didn't stop just with shirts. Bill Hewlett and David Packard were the founders of Hewlett Packard, and they wanted people in their company to start to think out of the box and be more creative. So, they got behind the idea of letting employees dress more casually on Fridays, and encouraged them to think more differently about their approach to business solutions. Before long, the idea spread throughout Silicon Valley. Fast forward to 1992, and an idea that was hatched at a brand Levi's had recently acquired. That brand was Dockers. Rick Miller was on the PR team that worked for Dockers at the time, and he remembers how “business casual” became a real thing in America, and not just for Fridays. In this episode, Rick talks about how a Dockers marketing campaign led to a transformation in the way we dress for business. Dockers had been considered weekend wear. Golf course, barbecues and parties. But in 1992, the company sent an eight-page Guide to Casual Business Wear to 25,000 human resource managers to distribute to employees That was a game-changer, but it was just the beginning of both the campaign and the fashion transformation.
