But it's not just mold.
So one of the calls that I got was from Hawaii.
And there were people over there who said, I've been poisoned.
Can you help?
So I got on a plane, got over there.
I had my personal credit card and my cowboy boots.
And my firm was brand new.
and the Navy had spilled jet fuel next to the water source on the island of Oahu, and they poisoned 93,000 people.
And I saw a community of people that was suffering, and they were sick, and I was sick, so I could recognize that they were sick, and I knew that they were going to be sicker, and I started speaking out against the United States Navy to anyone who would listen, and I said, people are suffering here, people are sick, and I passed the mic to my clients, and I...
you know, talk to every reporter who would listen to me.
And we hosted these town halls, and we invited the media, and we said, people are sick.
And the Navy said, no, they're not.
And the Navy had told people the water was safe, knowing that there was fuel in the water.
And so we started building a case against the United States Navy.
And we went to trial last May, and I ended up as lead counsel for 7,000 people in the first successful environmental case against the United States.
Well, they made it easy.
They spilled jet fuel right next to the water source.
And then they had the audacity to release a statement saying there is no indication the water is not safe.
even as they saw pictures of kids with welts on them.
I mean, kids were getting burned in the shower and in the bath, and people were vomiting.
