Beat has nothing to do with the show but shoutout to the Joestars and RIP Caesar. 

First beat in a while, hope you dig it.

Lucky number 7! Josh and Ryan talk about vaccines and recap the week in news, including the West Virginia teachers' strike, Xi and Putin making bad man moves, and a shocking report that some African-Americans were still living in slavery as late as the 1970s. We also talk about Clayton Hee shaking up the Hawaii governor's race, take a mailbag question about the opioid crisis in Hawaii, and debut our newest feature: BIKILEAKS!

Then, at 27:33, we talk to Rufino Magliba, former Congressional aide extraordinaire, about his journey from Waimanalo to Washington, what life is like as a member of the Hawaii Delegation, and his current work bringing new education technology to Hawaii's schools.

We end with some shoutouts to diaper politics, Rick Ross, and our restaurant picks of the week (with a special tribute to the late great Colin Nishida, owner of Side Street Inn).  Check it out!

Episode 7 - Waimanalo To Washington

#8! Josh and Ryan discuss the week that was, including the spectacle of AIPAC and the Army's accidental mailift to Waimanalo Elementary. Then, in News in 9, we discuss the State's planned sweep of the camp at Pu'uhonua o Waianae, Rep. Kaniela' Ing's stand over #MeToo and the Daniel K. Inouye international airport, Trump's potential trip to Pyongyang, and the rise of Roy Moore 2.0 (a.k.a. Chris McDaniel) in the Mississippi Senate race. We also share a brand new super secret BIKILEAK!

Then, at 26:00, we're joined by Nadine Wolff, who tells us about growing up in East Berlin during the Cold War, the good and bad sides of communism, and what lessons Germany can teach us about dealing with your country's painful past.

We finish with memorials to surfer George Downing and Fiorentina captain Davide Astori, shoutouts to the Merrie Monarch festival, DeMar DeRozan and Kevin Love, Los Angeles Football Club, Civil Beat's Nick Grube, and Max Holloway v. Connor McGregor on the field at Waianae High School -- and our restaurant recs of the week. Check it out!

Episode 8 - Goodbye Lenin, Aloha Nadine!

Another shooting at a synagogue, because we live in a normal, healthy, well-adjusted country.  The Supreme Court looks set to help the GOP rig the census, make it legal to fire gay people, and keep screwing American workers.  And our nation turns its lonely eyes to...Joe Biden?!?!?!

Plus, continued fallout from the horrible Easter attack in Sri Lanka:  how do the privileged and well-off end up becoming suicide bombers? And how are American Evangelicals' grievances over things like cake-baking minimizing the real persecution faced by Christians around the world? 

The Hawaii Legislature refused to increase the minimum wage or pass automatic voter registration (clearly they aren't listening to our show -- so much for the Blue Hawaii Bump), but there is one nice piece of local news:  Jahlani Tavai (Detroit Lions) and John Ursua (Seattle Seahawks) are going to the big show! 

Like, tag, share, and stay tuned for more!  PS: Shame on you, Prince William.
