So today we are going to talk about Maui and FEMA

0:09.0

and some things that have gone out and it's become a talking point and it's worth going

0:17.2

over because some of the information is less than accurate and it's something that I mean we've been through it here before

0:25.8

and the only reason I know this is because the first time I saw it I was just I

0:31.3

was also like you have got to be getting me, but that's not the reason it
