Episode 96 (August 15, 2026): Today’s Freedom Hour— Lahaina Three Years Later: What Happened—and Who Decides What Comes Next? Three years after the devastating Lahaina fire, Doug Pasnik and Gary Cordery examine what Hawaiʻi’s official investigation revealed about the failures surrounding the disaster—and turn to the difficult questions shaping Lahaina’s future. From Front Street rebuilding and shoreline restrictions to property rights, government planning, and voluntary buyouts, who ultimately decides what Lahaina becomes? Join us as we follow the facts and consider what responsible leadership and recovery should look like.
