that was king of the sandwiands, which we now call hawaii.is important for many reasons, but back to the politics of food and the fruit of politics, the reason that the king was in washington was because he was trying to lower american tariffs on hawaiian sugar, and they did work out a deal for that, and sugar became hawaii's biggest export for a hundred years. it ultimately led to the sugar plantation owners taking over, and the capture of hawaii as an american state, many years later. but it was -- the first time that a state dinner had been a foreign dignitary, and it was a big deal, thinking of hawaii -- the court created a famous menu that was fabulous and had many courses, and that got a lot of attention in the press. it was a moment when america was booming. there were gold and timber coming from the west coast, salmon railroads being built, factories being built, it was the mad rush financially and politically. and ulysses grant got himself in trouble with people in his administration being corrupt. he was a very trusting man. probabl

follow by two democrats from hawaii, missouri. these members are republicans.ake a look at the list, this is how much they secured in the millions in the latest spending bill. this is the new york times if you're interested. tim in michigan, republican. caller: good morning. i was calling to make a statement about the question. the hyperbolic tension that comes from the other side is, i believe, swayed that way. it is on purpose, just like you were reading out the republican statements of who got money and why. they were majority republicans that you said. that proves right there you are leaning to the left. which is sad. that is creating this hyperbolic tension against democrats and republicans. my suggestion would be for the republicans to just go back to their states, stay in their states and fix their states problems. if they do that, then we will see how the country will be run better. host: the new york times wrote that story. it is a national newspaper, people are reading across the country. we share with you what people are reading, but also what decisi

the jet packed with families returning home after a holiday vacation in hawaii. before the plane even reached 3,000 feet, something went wrong, it sent it plunging toward the sea. you can see this radar track here from flight radar 24, altitude drop, 20 terrifying seconds, and less than 800 feet from crashing into the sea. it eventually reached the normal cruising altitude, continued to san francisco without anymore incidents, arrived there early. united says the pilot reported the incident and the pilots received additional training. neither they nor the feds have revealed what caused that terrifying close call. our next guest was on that flight with his wife and two young kids. rod williams joins us now. you took off from the island of maui, apparently it was storming, heavy rain, a little more than 2,000 feet in the air, what happened then? >> yeah, once we hit about 2,000 feet the nose actually, i'm hoping the graphs will display as well, the nose actually -- attitude pitched up severely for a couple brief seconds and then dropped severely, we entered into a

new reports now another china spy craft like the one we saw recently crashed off the coast of hawaii. with all the facts stacked against the president's response to the dangers of an enemy craft in our skies for days, biden decided to take a victory lap. >> president biden: zbloo you were saying -- >> one step, the recommendation. >> president biden: they said to me let's wait until the safest place to do it. >> harris: china said when we shot it down it was an attack and overreaction. republican lawmakers in washington, d.c. are arguing biden waited way too long. >> the president taking it down over the atlanta is sort of like the quarterback tackling him after the game is over. >> what began as a spy balloon has become a trial balloon testing president biden's strength and resolve. unfortunately the president failed that test. >> this entire episode tell graphed weakness to xi and the chinese government. >> it is all about china testing the american resolve. not just the balloon but the message they are trying to send the world. we can do whatever we want and ame america can't stop

my parents met in hawaii. my father was part of that first wave of young africans to travel abroad to get an education. they ended up getting married, having me. my father decided he wanted to get his ph.d., obtained a scholarship to go to harvard. he moved there, but the separation made it difficult for them to stay together, not to mention this was an interracial couple at the brink of the civil rights movement. my mother was from kansas, and she was born to a pair of fairly typical midwestern white americans in a lot of ways. what made them remarkable was that they ended up being more open-minded and accepting of difference and diversity than i think was maybe typical of their generation and their time. so i don't think that there was a sense of my difference racially as i was growing up. i mean, hawaii was a sort of a unique kind of melting pot. then when i was six, my mother remarried an indonesian, and we moved to indonesia, which certainly made me feel different, but it had more to do with the fact that

earthquakes are spreading around the world in different parts of the world, in particular today in hawaii, and this earthquake even provoked the eruption of a volcano, and i am talking about new zealand and not about the earthquake, dozens of people were injured. for days in a row, the north island in new zealand has been terrorizing due to heavy rains, local rivers overflowed their banks, flooding hundreds of houses, fallen trees cut power lines, as a result of which about a quarter of a million people were left without electricity , the prime minister of new zealand, through hipkins , said that such a weather phenomenon in the country seen for tens of years and introduced a state of emergency in the affected region, despite the fact that the force of the storm has decreased somewhat, the danger has not passed. well, what if nikita joins us poturaev people's deputy head of the permanent delegation of the verkhovna rada of ukraine to the osce parliamentary assembly mr. paturayu congratulations glory to ukraine thank you for joining heroes glory good evening well, i already told our viewer

then again, this is in hawaii. it started ascending normally and then took a steep dive toward the ocean. the plane quickly recovered and reportedly had a normal flight landing in san francisco about 4 hours later. the airline says the plane was inspected before its next flight. and after coordinating with the faa, the pilots were sent for additional training. the incident is just one of several recent close calls in the airline industry. coming up tonight on kron, 4 news at 9 o'clock. we will hear from a passenger who was on that united flight. coming up. some terrifying moments caught on camera when a uhaul driver. >> plows into pedestrians in new york city will have the latest details and a new bill seeking to protect shelter dogs from being put down. what shelters will have to do if it becomes law. plus, a new push at the state level to ensure affordable housing for all californians will be right californians will be right back. i'm jayson. i'm living with hiv and i'm on cabenuva. it helps keep me undetectable.

and apparently there been other lumens that have entered american airspace over guam and hawaii. so this is not an isolated, this is not just a mistake, and i think trying to portray it as just an unfortunate incident. tries to cover up them, align intent again of the chinese communist rosie. let's bring in zeno from london on that point because the, you know, using balloons a spy platform goes back. in fact, to the early days of the cold war. and china uses them to the united states uses them as well. i suppose. what's different here is that the chinese didn't think that they get caught right. why? because how could they could they think that they were going to get cold? i mean, people could see these, these bone. so these are not of my, i find it's very, very bizarre, especially taking into account the china. although from a point of view in the, remain behind the united states, in many ways they're really trying to invest. and to get to together, we thought that technology, when it comes to data, just type of power and also, you know, position on military power. so eventually
