0:00 Raina, since you're going to Hawaii tomorrow, I thought it would be only right to show you this clip. Joe, you probably know what happened here and I think just watching this makes you love Hawaii so much more. So, I'll give you the context after you see what's happening here. >> All right, I'm going to use my phone to zoom in cuz I can't really see. So, I'm just going to >> Oh, really? I can make it bigger, too. >> No, it's okay. I'm going to watch like this. >> Okay, ready? >> [music] >> I told him if he wants to go to THE HOSPITAL, COME HERE. >> WHAT? >> [music] >> OH, MAN. >> He's out. >> [music] >> Hey, ████ you. >> Oh, you don't do that. >> You. >> He's saying that to a woman, by the way.
0:53 >> What are you going to do? >> Don't say that. >> I didn't ████ put him in the ground. >> Oh, oh, no, don't get closer. >> I can't hear >> Oh, you're going to hit women now. >> Let's go, bro. I'm good. >> Let him. Let him. >> You don't know. This is Hawaii, bro. >> It's over. >> He's a child. >> I'm a child? I'm 40 ████ years old. >> Well, he's acting like a child. Oh, stay away from the girls, dude. Oh, don't touch people. >> [music]
1:43 >> Oh, my god. He tried to use a chair. >> [laughter] >> He told him to wake up. >> What you ████ with, Holly boy? Yeah? Try saying it out. >> [music] >> So this guy he's a candidate running for Congress. >> NO WAY. YEAH. >> WOW. >> YEAH. THIS GUY. >> YEAH. >> He's a Hawaiian congressional candidate. He's um his his name's Kealoha Bason. >> Ruined his career. >> The way that this started is that a like some 61-year-old was asking him to turn his music down. And instead of doing that he threatened the person and then he implied that he had a gun and that he was going to shoot
2:33 the man's wife. >> What the ████ >> So he proceeded to threaten other people in the area and that's kind of when this started being recorded. >> It's crazy he's only yelling at girls in this video, too. >> Waymond right. >> It's usually that though with weak guys. >> That's usually why yeah, weak guy. So then this MMA guy named Kaimana Holoman he steps in. He immediately got pushed by Bason who then tried to swing the chair, got knocked out. >> That [laughter] was so funny. He just blocked the chair with a boom. >> But then what what this what the videos don't show is that afterwards he pulled out a knife and was threatening the the dude that punched him. And then later he tried to hide the knife by throwing it into the ocean. >> But it's all on camera. >> [laughter] >> And then and then Kaimana the guy who knocked him out went and got the knife and retrieved it so he could show the police. >> This guy's a ████ mess. They should
3:23 kick him out of Hawaii, dude. >> Yeah, he's he and that guy he's running for office in Hawaii's second congressional district. This is in Maui and he wasn't like not to say that he even had a shot anyway. He's like not even close to having a chance of winning. By the way, he's just a guy that's running. And so he got arrested for two counts of first-degree terroristic threats. >> Terroristic? [laughter] >> That's crazy. >> And the Maui judge set his bail at a million. Which is like pretty substantial considering like they absolutely are trying to send a message. Um And uh and yeah, it's uh the funny thing they got a quote from the guy Kama, the guy who knocked him out. His quote is uh he says, "I'm like maybe I should intervene." And then as I got closer, he was just getting more irate and violent
4:14 and then saying stuff like I'm going to hurt you or I can injure you or you like >> scrapped to the aunties. >> That yeah, cuz that is what he's saying. He's >> He was >> talking ████ to the aunties. >> Yeah. >> What's crazy he was like uh what what did he say? He was like, "Oh, if you want to go to the hospital, come here." I'm like, "What the f███?" >> What an idiot. >> That guy is crazy. >> I don't know. I I think any guy that's charging at women the way that he did, he should have been put out immediately cuz that energy was too he was too close. >> Yeah, crazy. My favorite is when he says, "I'm a child? I'm 40 years old." Like that's such that's such a childish response to being called a child. >> This is what I love about Hawaii though is like you know how over here after this ████ goes down, this guy will press
5:04 charges and a lot of the times they'll actually like get rewarded for for being a dick. >> In Hawaii? >> No, no, no. I'm saying on a main like on like a lot of people like in California or whatever like they'll be this ████ they'll antagonize, and once they get set straight, they'll like press charges. >> And then the ultimate winner is actually the ████ >> Yep. Because they'll get paid out, they'll get they'll press whatever, right? >> They'll reach a settlement, yeah. >> That's what I love about Hawaii though. >> It's harder to do that in Hawaii? >> Well, a lot of people won't play like they'll they'll they'll go through the actions cuz they have to. >> Uh so if this guy decides to file a civil suit against the guy who knocked him out >> With him being in politics and all that stuff too, it's just everyone's going to look at him like he's stupid. And he could do it like all I'm saying is they'll go through the process, but
5:56 they'll never really win. >> [laughter] >> Okay, that's cool. >> Cuz no one's going to play ball with it. It's kind of like remember the monk seal guy? >> Uh-huh. >> The monk seal guy comes, right? >> Yeah. >> Local boy beats his ass up. And he gets an award. Like they have they hold a ceremony. >> Yeah, like from the mayor or whoever that guy >> He's a representative of a district in like North Shore. >> Dude, yeah, that's cool. They award the guy who beat his ass over the monk seal. >> Right? That's and that's where I'm like I ████ love Hawaii, bro. Like I love it so much. >> Street justice still exists. >> Cuz then that's part of the culture is like protecting, you know, aunties. Like you don't let some crazy guy talk ████ to them. That's nuts. >> But on the flip side though, they don't just beat up tourists. Like they they set some kids straight recently cuz they were stealing from tourist back on the beach.
6:46 >> Oh, really? >> Yeah. So like there was some older guys that just like pull them to the side and kind of slapped them around and made them return the ████ So I'm like it's it's I think it's just like a community. Like we take care of ourselves. Like even when the Lahaina fire happened, they had like I think FEMA, Red Cross tried, but they were like so slow. They didn't have They didn't actually do anything. >> Yeah, right. Yeah. They were so slow. >> But the local were immediately like let's all pull out our fishing boats, everything. Everyone donated. We all gave stuff. Uh my buddy flew a cargo plane and he was loading up water and then just going in. So like and then they're just like we don't need the federal government. We don't need you guys. We already We already got it done. But that's what I ████ love, dude. Cuz we can't have that here. >> No. >> I wish we could have that here.
7:36 >> Especially not in in California. >> Yeah. >> More than Nevada. Like California is like that's crazy. You you can uh, you know, be the worst person at a place and then you can ultimately walk away with a lot of money if some if you bait people into kicking your ass. >> [laughter] >> But doesn't it make it so that people don't want to help because of that? Cuz you get punished for protecting women. You get punished >> 100% yeah, 100%. Also the because it's so litigious, sometimes you don't want to help out because you think the person you helped could sue you. >> Yeah. That's true. >> You know that happens too, but yeah. >> Like you said, Hawaii just like like Hawaii is so family based. Like it it really bleeds over to every other facet of like everyday life. It's really cool. You're going to tomorrow? >> Mhm. >> Is this your first time? >> No, I've been to Hawaii like >> there before. >> [laughter] >> She abandoned her car.
8:27 >> On her aqua mobile. >> I had a whole >> She drove there from Houston. >> I did one month drive. I've been to Hawaii many many times. >> And it does have that feeling of like family everywhere, right? >> Oh yes. Yeah, every since the first visit, it just like every returning visit they do like the people I knew just became more and more friendly and always willing to help me out and yeah, it's very nice. >> Yeah, if anybody messed with you out there, they would just get destroyed. >> [laughter] >> How often do you see stuff like this happening out outside of your uh your area when you're like at the shop? >> I don't see it often, but like when news like this happens, it circulates hella quick. Like there's a couple of pages like HHH news. Um lo- some local like They get they get the news quicker than the news. >> Right, yeah. I don't know how they do that. Like they always have someone that
9:18 was there. They like they get the video. >> Because locals will submit it. >> Yeah, they'll send it to them. >> Yeah, but I think um I mean I mean it happens. I haven't seen actual fist fighting like in person, but yeah. >> My first interaction with a Hawaiian was on TV. Cuz you know, when I was a kid I loved UFC and I would see B.J. Penn fighting and I'm like, "Oh, it's so cool." Then you would hear him talk and you hear like how like the culture is. And then I remember when I first joined the Marine Corps in boot camp, we had a Hawaiian guy there. And then, so this is 2003, and it's hard to ask him. I'm like, "Is Hawaii really like that? It's all about scrapping or whatever?" He goes, "Oh, yeah. Like if there's two people at school in high school, if they had beef, they would circle and go somewhere and they would they would scrap and squash it. And everyone also protects and makes
10:08 sure no one else jumps in." >> Yeah, yeah, yeah. >> And then after they scrap, they shake hands and they squashed it. No recurring beef or anything like that. And I'm like, "Man, that's so ████ cool." He goes, "Yeah, if you ever come to Hawaii, too, I don't even got to be home. You go to my house and you just go, 'Hey, I know this guy.' And my grandma will just make you food. Or you come to my house, you open my fridge, you just pour out orange juice and just chill on the couch. And you go, 'Hey, I know this guy.' My No one will give you ████ They'll just But you're automatically family." >> Wow. >> Now I remember just being in boot camp like in the fields going, "What This is so ████ cool, dude." >> [laughter] >> It is really, really great. I I do love that like when you see videos of guys like street fights that happen in Hawaii, >> Yeah. >> they're fighting for real. Like the form. You know what I mean? >> Oh, everybody's trained.
10:58 >> Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The way that It's not like when you see fights in LA where they're just flailing and then You know what I mean? And they just look crazy. >> Everyone's trained. They throw leg kicks. >> They have like a really good defensive stance and ████ Yeah. >> For like everyone's uncle was a MMA fighter at some point. So they all held pads for their kids. I think everyone knows how to fight like a little bit. >> at a park in Maui and um there were some fans there just training like boxing, kickboxing. And then they're like, "Joe, you want to you want to come and and and train with us?" And I was like, "Sure." So, they started sparring, right? And this ████ 16-year-old beat me up. He was a Golden Gloves kid. Like, he was a champion. And I was like, "You ████ dude." Like, I just kept getting hit left and right. And I was [laughter] like, "You ████ piece of s███."
11:49 >> Yeah, like you think you're just fighting an >> He told me after. >> you're sparring with an average guy at first? Yeah, no. >> No, yeah, yeah, it's a straight-up Golden Gloves champion. Yeah. >> Guys, don't be like this piece of ████ uh if you're out there causing trouble. Um you deserve to be punched out. And on top of it all, he's a freaking politi- He has the nerve to run for politics, you know why? This guy. Yeah, what is that? >> Hawaiian politics is like >> [snorts] >> small-town Oklahoma. Like, it's it's it's some funny ████ bro. >> Yeah. Well, good thing this guy doesn't have a shot at winning, man. And uh props to Koma What's his name? Koma Homan for knocking that dude out. I hope uh you get no charges pressed against you, no civil lawsuit of any sort. Um yeah, you deserve to get away clean.
