I lived in Hawaii the past 10 years and recently moved back to the mainland due to the housing market and cost of living. Professional people have to work multiple jobs just to make ends meet. The state is run by incompetent democratic lifetime politicians. Look at "crazy" Mazie Hirono for an example of that. The state is bogged down in so much bureaucracy that the train they were building from Kapolei to Honolulu has gone bankrupt before they can even get the tracks to the airport. Literally wasted hundreds of millions of dollars on something that is now useless. During the Corona virus the whole tourist industry shut down and the state lost so many jobs, people that had worked in the tourist industry for 15+ years let go. I love BJ Penn and have been a fan for years. I'm not sure if he can make fundamental changes in Hawaii, but I think he will try. I for one support BJ Penn and hope he shakes up the system.

Here's the problem, you said "We the little people"....that right there shows how insecure you are and how little confidence you have in your ability to create change. You can't do great things with average people! THAT IS YOUR PROBLEM, not being able to unify is just an accuse.

I still remember when BJ walked out to Hawaii' 78 Israel Kaʻanoʻi Kamakawiwoʻole. When he talks about the suffering of Hawaii and its people it reminds me of the lyrics from that song. BJ may not have all the answers, but you know he cares about the people and wants to fight for them.

There’s always the emphasis on the candidate and only the candidate. But like the last thing Bj said, “you gotta have a lot of people helping you out”. It’s not just one person who runs the country, the state, the town, or the house; its multiple people with different skills and backgrounds that on their own could only excel so much. But together, working with people with different skills and perspectives we can really make a long lasting difference. I hope he gets all the support he needs to create perpetual change for the better.

Really impressed with bj's outlook and what he's trying to do.

The man that got me into MMA. I hope he has conquered his demons and this new goal of his comes to fruition.

Say what you want, sometimes someone that’s less articulate is the better candidate because they’re more genuine (I’m not saying that is always the case but it seems to be especially so with politicians). I think being governor is maybe a bigger commitment than he thinks but his heart is in the right place and he is very passionate, his past of never giving up when times are hard (granted it’s a different kind of fight) would be a big plus and with the people of hawaii on his side, I think he could figure it out

Can’t watch the whole video anymore?

Relax, wear proper attire, try to speak the local language, share everything you own - this will go a long way to being treated with respect in Hawaii.

That reminds me of Belize. We were on a tour there and the guide started telling us that they pump their own oil but have to send it away to be processed and then it comes back to them at a ridiculous cost.

I saw a video of BJ jumping out of a pool, try it sometime from waist deep water. Dude is an absolute legend.

In high school I was always afraid of this guy. I whooped up his nephew and he swore Bj was coming down to kill me 😂

You should look to what Singapore did. Hawaii can grow more food, but y’all are tied at the hip to tourism and the federal government. Deregulation would do a lot for attracting business to the islands.

Wouldn't that self sufficiency come at the cost of destroying the island ... the nature. I dont know the state of Hawaii currently...but agriculture and from agriculture to factories, to production has laid to waste beautifull pieces of land. I look at my own country of the netherlands and nature has suffered so badly under agriculture alone. Alot of the country looks like patchwork..farms. its ugly..Hawaii is still beautiful is it not?

Love it

I loved living in Hawaii while I was stationed there. The locals put up with so much crap and are amazing when you just act decent and respectful. They deserve to have an actual Hawaiian like BJ in office.

Was in Hawaii several months ago. Such a beautiful place, but it really seems like they have a number of serious problems to address, which I wasn't expecting. Not just driving around Honolulu but even smaller towns, there is a lot of poverty, and the public infrastructure seems very poor. It does seem like they need a different direction

I live in Hawaii for a long time. Most people either work in the tourism industry or construction of some kind. Covid absolutely destroyed tourism and it crushed Hawaii’s economy. Hawaii is an island state there are only so many hotels and highways that you can put there. It is not realistic to think that Hawaii could become self-sufficient. I get what BJ is trying to say if people only knew how much of Hawaii is owned by foreign countries it would probably blow your mind. Truth is Hawaiians own very little of Hawaii.

Have you been to big island? Only an inkling of this land has been tapped into. Some would argue for better but I disagree there’s hundreds of square miles of farming land that just needs some motivation and there’s 23 different microclimates for crops a multitude of which are being produced in other countries and could arguably be produced here for cheaper. Vanilla,Cacao, avacados, figs to name a few

For the petroleum you could try to talk to and work with a company that does off shore drilling. Drill off shore and have it all sent to a refinery on the island. Partner with exxon or shell. A big company that can afford to do things right so as little damage as possible is done.
