of the areas i'd say that we are understood. >> another question about hawaii, is hawaii's population more mixed race than other states and how do you see that impacting the way racism might play out there or conversely i'll add is that change things for the better if it does. >> there's no dominant racial group in hawaii. there's no racial group that's over 50 percent. that leads to people being much more cooperative and we do intermarry more than i would say any other state. if you come to hawaii you will hardly see any child is not mixed race. which is really beautiful. and in fact when they get from hawaii used to come and visit in washington dc and they would all be mixed races . and i'd say look, there's only one person who looks like you in the senate and you're looking at her and they would go, because we're used to really appreciating other cultures and yes, that helps a lot. i'm so grateful i represent a state where we don't have kind of over racism, if we have racist notions they tend to keep it to themselves although once in a while somebody might go back where you camefro

i interviewed the lieutenant commander werner of hawaii and he said he expects the islands to hit herd immunity defined as 70% by early july. so, why, can loosen restrictions, is it because they are an island that they can plan like that that we can't here in california? >> i love that example, because in hawaii, they can control their borders very strictly, by most accounts, for disease coming in. they have the hawaii safe program, and you have to get tested before you get in, 72 hours, can't really get to that in many other places easily, and eventually, they're going to have this immune passport. because of that, it is much easier, when you have an outbreak on the island, to contact tracing and squash it. >> last question, that is, i am taking you to florida where the governor signed an executive order banning vaccine passports and invalidating any remaining local emergency orders. he and if you are still holding on the two local restrictions, quote, you really are saying you don't believe in the vaccines, you don't believe in the data. do you accept that argument to even a small ex
