It's Friday. Congratulations. Friday, August 11th, 2023. This brand new day starts now.

And all right, let's go. It's first thing with Kevin Mano. That's me. Thanks for being here.

island is just destroyed. I saw an interview with the resident there saying Maui has been decimated.

That's such a strong word. They're in search and rescue mode at this point. The Coast Guard

is reporting that they have successfully rescued more than 50 people that jumped into the water to

escape the fire. Kind of a side note here, but I read that Mick Fleetwood of Fleetwood Mac his

restaurant was reportedly destroyed by the fires. He wrote quote, while we are heartbroken,
