I think in Hawaii, they know how to put community before themselves, which is very un-American, by the way. That this idea that in Hawaii, you know, everyone's very generous and you get more than you give in Hawaii if you come with the right energy. And so I like to think that in Hawaii, I always try to come with the right energy. I won't be so presumptuous to say that I always manage to nail it.

But I think I come with the right energy and I think the locals and the Hawaiians there respond to that. So yeah. You know, they can be, you know, hardcore MAGA people, but they, you know, they're totally cool with me as far as I know.

Um, those are all very concerning. Don't get me wrong. I think if he does any of that, it is upsetting and subverts the legal process in many ways, in some ways more blatant than others. My answer to that is we had four years of him. And The Daily Show was making fun of him every day during those four years. And essentially nothing happened.

So just going off of history and past evidence, which is all I kind of have to go by right now, is that kind of... You know, for me, that's kind of a sign of how it's going to be, you know, what his bluster versus his actual actions. I reserve the right to change my opinion if we all end up in jail. If we all end up in jail, then I will probably be wrong.
