    Episode 78 (28 March 2026): Today’s Freedom Hour - Who Decides Hawai‘i’s Future? Community vs. Control. Who is really shaping Hawai‘i’s future—our communities or centralized government systems?

From cost of living to election management, to emergency powers, we break down what’s happening, why it matters, and how it affects everyday families.
