10:01 pm
10:02 pm
better than us mainlanders. many americans took advantage of the fact that no one said you had to work from home in your home and they relocated to hawaii. because of the lack of tourist dollars, the government of hawaii encouraged people to relocate. >> this aims to being professionals to hawaii. they get hotel discounts if they connect with other professionals. >> lots considered it. me and my wife couldn't make it make sense. i was in hawaii in season three and i learned too much. >> colonizers feel so entitled. >> the hawaiian government with their warm welcome, give us your tired masses. native hawaiians were saying
10:03 pm
something else. not to steal a technique from carrie bradshaw but i wondered if you could go to hawaii and not be an hole. can you go and not his soft hawaiians? there is something we've got to do. get our minds right and our holes. -- is an educator and consultant and his work to improve the visitor industry. we just had a blessing for the crew. we didn't film it. just not for tv. i want to ask you why it is important. this >> is considered a cleansing. that influences all of the great work that you are going to be doing here. >> she works directly with the tourism authority and does buses like this. she never gives the tensions between locals and visitors every day and that tension can
10:04 pm
be summed up in one word, aloha. a word that most tourists believe means hello, goodbye, and where is my --. how hawaii is marketed to the world and how the natives feel they are treated. i can feel the tension of people wanting their version of the vacation. >> when things started to open where people could come, that is when there was this massive amount of people that moved because the land is really inexpensive in comparison to other places. my mom is seeing these people and she was not happy. the intent. it was intent that i need to get out of where i am out and i need to go someplace that has beautiful weather and beautiful scenery and not really worried
10:05 pm
about the culture. my mom works at rental car places. she is always smiling, she gives the past customer service. for her to feel that energy was important for me to hear. >> treating hawaii like people treat the suburbs. i need to move out of the suburbs and build my perfect house but there is actually people out here. >> that is what my mom was catching. her innate a loja was feeling bad. i am an advocate about helping them connect, get some classes, meet someone that you can ask questions. and then their experience will be the best experience for not only them but for hawaii. >> i think about that a lot. i have been here with my wife and our kids a few times. there even here with me now. this culture as entertainment
10:06 pm
has rubbed me the wrong way. we do love hawaii but we want to figure out a way to do it better if there is a way to do it better. step one is listening to the people that have a stake in it. i sat down with three native hawaiians at wiki key. they are world-class surfers who are continuing the native tradition of this ward. >> surfing is passed along, you can see it. you bring the children to the beach and put them on surfboards. >> it looks like the dmv in the ocean. when you grow up your, you learn how to navigate your way throughout all of these people. >> was the speech always like this? >> always. i have never seen an empty waikiki beach like when covid happened. hawaiian families that don't normally come down here because
10:07 pm
it is so crowded, they got to enjoy waikiki clean, beautiful. within a month, the ocean life destroyed itself. fish that i've ever seen in my life, in schools. we cherished that moment so much because that is what hawaii could have been. there's nobody here except for hawaiian local families. >> there are the rules. when we see another family, we don't sit in front of them because it is like you are connecting with the ocean with your family. here, they will see you, there is a better spot right in front of you. >> is about the whole problem with tourism as it is constructed, it is about me? i'm going to hawaii with my family and we want to have our hawaii experience. i'm only here for six nights and seven days. during covid, what was that
10:08 pm
like? >> we talk about it all the time, there was a weird dynamic, it was great. people had to enjoy things with her family yet we need to go back to work. >> this is the town factory. the town factory is tourism. >> a lot of interesting conversation to be had. >> people started coming here to remote work, whether it is for a little while or whether to move. i was one of those people. i don't know if it is possible to move to hawaii and not be an a whole. >> you have the privilege and the entitlement and the money to come and live here and there are so many hawaiians that are leaving to go to las vegas. there are so many hawaiians there.
10:09 pm
it is sad that my people have to move away but then you can come in. >> this is hard. to own a home where start $7 million, it is impossible. that is crazy. >> real estate prices have gone up across america. in hawaii, prices have shot up 36%. the halves have decided that they wanted to have hawaii. this all means the most economically vulnerable folks and up displaced or house lists. this >> whether it is economic or cultural reasons, this is we believe that from the plant came us. i am from another island. this is getting so overwhelmed. 10 million people a year with a
10:10 pm
one point a 1.2 residency. that is like 11 million people every year. >> with that colorful image floating in my mind, it is time to get in the water for my first surf lesson. >> you can twist sideways. >> that is it. i am surfing. people act like it is easy. >> now we are going. >> we are getting in the water now. >> you can lay on top of it, you can see how the balances.

10:16 pm
saw the side of the island few tourists do. >> i don't know that we really left the resorts. >> kyle rated this for his university students and visiting academics. it shows how long the deeply rooted u.s. military has been in hawaii. most visitors have no idea the effect it has. >> general john scofield was masqueraded as a tourist to do reconnaissance on a suitable military location. he looks down and sees what most people would know as pearl harbor and what the hawaiians had built the, this engineering marvel of aquaculture and agriculture he says it is valueless. this is where the idea that hawaii only sues for other people. >> it's value is r-value. >> exactly. people have an idea of what hawaii is to them. this notion of a loja spirit is
10:17 pm
a compulsory hospitality. this is such a deep concept for hawaiians. it means the exchange of breath, of life. is more than just love or greeting. >> there is something that hit so deep thinking about it as an exchange of breath in covid era. we are all suddenly aware of what our breath holds and the danger that is there, even in well-intentioned action. i am so glad that you shared the meeting because i don't think i knew that. >> this is the seat of the hawaiian government. we stopped here on the detour because it is the scene of the
10:18 pm
crime. it is where the overthrow takes place. it is where u.s. troops rolled up on the palace and basically instigated the first regime change. >> how many years after the undercover tourist? >> about 20 years. this is where the broken relationship begins between the united states, the military, and people in hawaii. his >> more and more mainlanders have been moving here for >> i think that is a very problematic program. it is colonialism supercharged with social media so that you can be a digital nomad and occupy the space and meanwhile the people of this land cannot afford it. there is no place to go. >> people are homeless in their own homeland. struggling and surviving as best they can. affordable housing is living in a car under a blue tarp tent. >>'s sister last trip?
10:19 pm
the whole idea of tourism is kind of a problem. it invites people who want to come and experience and take it away. i think there is another way that when you go into someone's home. you bring gifts, you don't come empty-handed. you leave it better than it was. believe it was some sort of permission and some sort of welcome. people could look at that because if there was a way to bring visitors who want to be responsible, who want to give back cover then we need a way to do that that is sustainable. >> we see a new way that mainland uses hawaii for the benefit of the mainland. our next stop shows how the military presence endangers the land and the people to this very day. >> welcome to red . within this

mountain are 20 enormous fuel tanks that the navy built in secret. about 200 million gallons of fuel inside of this mountain. the things that makes it troubling is that it says 100 feet over the aquifer that provides most of honolulu's drinking water. about three weeks there was a spill of about 14,000 gallons of fuel. >> the city of honolulu has shut down it's largest water source. some reporting horrible physical symptoms. >> people are being moved out of their homes. there is an evacuation order. they are all at the hotels at waikiki. >> they have table set up in several of the lobbies. >> they are refugees from the redhill disaster. there is no safe way to have

when it comes to why, starts to feel like digital: no one is in. people post about secret beaches. it is only sacred to you. people live there. these posts cast hawaii is a perfect playground instead of as somebody's home. some native hawaiians have decided to use it to flip the script and tell the real story. since the pandemic started, she has been using tick-tock to share her perspective. >> that is all people view hawaii has, as someplace that people go to vacation. people live here. the oversimplification of our way of life and values, it is dehumanizing. >> there was a lot of mexican immigrants here. there is a lot of mexican influence, a lot of asian

i make videos about that. hawaii having one of the highest cost of living. the median necessary living wages about $67,000 while in hawaii it is $136,000. >> hawaii, a land so fertile it literally grows rocks imports 80% of everything it sells. corporation pass all of the shipping costs onto hawaiians. as new settlers drive up demands, the already high cost continues to climb. that means regardless of the newcomers intentions, that will always be a real-life negative impact on locals. is it possible to move to hawaii and not be an a whole? >> especially if you know better, there is no way to move
