Out in the Hawaiian islands is a place that stands out on its own. Molokai is the island (outside of unaccessible Niihau) that's kept development away. This is old Hawaii, a place without traffic lights or bustle. Here, time stands still, and the locals have fought hard to keep it this way. Join me on an epic adventure with a Molokai local into a Hawaiian island that has stayed true to its roots.

Peter- Moloka'i is my favorite island - it is the true Hawai'i. I had the privilege of going to Kaulapapa. What an amazing yet eerie place. I hope this island never develops
Thanks for doing Moloka'i. I haven't been there in decades.
Hello...
That homestead is 14:10 called Department of Hawaiian Homes Lands.
Watching from work🫢
"Don't change Molokai. Let Molokai change you." - well said. What a beautiful place.
All of Hawaii is this way
Everyone basically says the same thing about their community in every video that Peter is in.
I love that saying! So many countries are being ruined by folks that want to change them. Leave everything alone.
Spent a week there in the '90's, recommend it. Hardly any tourists, beaches, boardwalks and trails in the unique landscape nearly to yourself.
@@marleneppaul Yeah, unfortunate and always done under the guise of liberal progressiveness
Peter, you continue to show your viewers the world through the eyes of locals. No flash and dash, but the down to earth people who live in the places you showcase. Great stuff! Nobody does it the way you do it, and that’s a beautiful thing!
True journalism ❤
Thanks Ken!
I 100% agree. From the bottom of my heart I say ….. Peter is the best, most honest, genuine person doing the most honest genuine journalism ever. I look forward to his weekly segment. ❤
Loved Ben. Peter's excellent at finding the best hosts! I've said it before and I'll say it again, this is Pulitzer Prize worthy journalism week after week.
Great video! Thank you, Peter.
👏👏💐💐💯💯
Gotta go Kaua’i next braddah
I am Hawaiian, I was born and raised in Hawaii on Oahu and Moloka'i. I live in Texas now. But Moloka'i will always be my home island. My grandfather is buried there, my grandmother is buried there, most of my family is buried there, my mother (East End) and father (Ho'olehua Homestead) are both from Moloka'i. I grew up on that island. Hunting, fishing, tagging along with my dad when he had to trap and neutralize mongoose issues out of the wildlife refuge. I know Kaunakakai like the back of my hand. I grew up killing time in Pascua store, Kanemitsu Bakery (before Hot Bread was even a thing), Misaki's and running around Rawlins Chevron which I guess is Texaco now.
I do miss it. Moloka'i will always be home. I hope this video helps to educate some folks and maybe give them a wanderlust to visit, but I also hope this video doesn't cause any detriment to the way of life Moloka'i has and should always have.
Keep Moloka'i, Moloka'i.
Born and raised on Oahu and moved to Texas. We’re just north of Houston. I definitely miss Home but it is so expensive now.
I grew up on hickam afb bruddah. Some of us owlies you like. I worked the hi 50th state fair and you guys hated on me. I will always love and respect HI but for some reason I get hated on. Love you all and respect but you are hardcore.
this place looks increadible. I need to see it in person
I'm from oahu Waianae, back in waianae but I went to school in San Antonio back in 2000 to 06 07
Ddd
All those children going to school, playing safely in their neighborhood, friendly neighbors, hunting, fishing, ...Very rich people. You have everything. Mahalo for the glimpse and stay blessed.
My type of vibe.
No drama.
Just great family oriented people and nature.
Life does not have to be complicated...
as long as your not white and your only visiting.
I was stationed in Hawaii for 3 years. We were always told to not go to the westside because people were “rude”. They could not have been nicer to my pregnant wife, and eventually our newborn baby. Hawaiians are very forgiving people. The energy you give, like Peter in this video, is the respect you’ll receive in return. It was emotional to see Oahu during covid and hear from the Hawaiians that the ocean was healing and looking like “it used to be”. God Bless you all and Mahalo for letting my family visit.
Thank you for your service
Well said!
Back in 93 my GTO got stuck in the sand on the West side…three huge bruddahs lifted it off the sand without even asking. My haole friend was terrified when they approached. Me, I was like mahalos because I needed help and they offered. Three armed guards stationed up the valley (Makua, I believe) drove down because they thought trouble was brewing. All aloha, everyone talked story for a few minutes…bailed all good.
It's really sad to hear that people coming to visit Hawaii because it's so beautiful, is what is ruining the beauty of Hawaii
My first language is French so sorry if that is worded weird
Mahalo for your service. Most Kanaka Maoli (Hawaiians) are friendly & will show you the same respect that others show. Family is everything, so pregnant women & children are very much taken care of. 🤙🏽🤙🏽
This was the best yet in your Hawaii series, Peter. Ben’s tour and history of the island was fascinating and educational. The story of Ben’s wife’s family homesteading, and doing what the government thought was impossible is so inspirational and part of history most of us had never heard before. I have friends that moved from California to Lanai a few years ago. I visited last year and was taken back by the “Ellison effect“. That’s my term for taking a beautiful native island and turning it into a compound for the wealthy. That island has been taken over by wealthy ex-pats… which include my friends. They all seem to be fairly impressed that Larry is their neighbor. The conversation revolves around what European country they’re flying off to or which of their homes they’re traveling to next. Larry and the ex-pats have turned this island into a haven for the wealthy. I saw very little of Larry contributing to the native people. I’m happy to hear Ben’s dream of an organic farm on Molokai. With all of the billions that Ellison has there is no organic produce being grown on a farm on Lanai. Everyone must travel by boat with coolers to do their shopping over in Maui. They then either Rent-A-Car or own a car that they pay to park on Maui to shop. Larry Ellison spent millions planting non-native trees but couldn’t be bothered to create an organic farm to feed the community. When I asked about Molokai, I was told it’s a very “dangerous“ island and that no one travels there. Thank you for dispelling that myth and for showing us your beautiful home Ben. Mahalo!❤
This is the classic Peter Santenello style I fell in love with some years ago! This is raw, talented journalism, amazing editing and storytelling, and most of all, taking risks in conflict areas to tell a powerful story. Keep up the amazing work, Peter! 👏
I pray that Ben's dream of organic food production on Molokai (and everywhere!) comes to fruition. He's really got his head screwed on right.
Organic is a pipe dream. It kills far more than any other production and is far less efficient. It's a great idea but only that. Some can sustain but can't grow for all that way.
Because farming is known to be great for the land... what??
@@KarklinPumpkin How fortunate for you, that you've discovered how to live without eating!
@@susanvaughan4210 says the child molester
@@susanvaughan4210 Susan Vaghaun the child.diddler
I am a local on Oahu. I have never been to Molokai but grew up knowing how special this island was and still is. It was almost an unspoken understanding and respect that if you had no real reason to go there, let them be in peace. What a rare place to live and raise an ohana, truly a blessing. I hope that Ben and the rest of the locals there are able to find a perfect balance that benefits them and continues to allow them to thrive in their paradise. Mahalo for sharing Peter!
Never in my ancestors' lifetimes they could image we can see beauties of an island half a world away through the internet. Amazing times we live in.
These Molokai guys have a much more positive vibe than the ones on Maui. Probably because they've been succeeding to preserve their way of life.
I respect your opinion! However, it’s important to consider the trauma our Maui community has felt in the past year. Developers are taking advantage of our situation and trying to turn Maui into O’ahu. It’s very high tension and stress here. Just offering a different perspective.
@@nahex2 oh for sure for sure. Maybe I didn't phrase it well but I figured the difference was because Maui's been over-developed, with the natives getting the short end of the stick.
Made my day seeing that people can stand together to protect their way of life. Without big money influence they are happy and surviving just fine.
@@ToTheGreatWideOpen Yes, people can be happy regardless of whatever government or economic system exists around them.
I'm sure they'd prefer if none of that existed and they could just live without worrying about arbitrary numbers in a bank account.
They don't even try and build a garden. How many of them did you see? Plenty of place to grow food there instead of shipping in fruits and vegetables. Imagine living in Hawaii and buying a pineapple from South America or Philippians. I've been there and seen the shipping boxes. Thing is their climate produces some of the best fruits and vegetables. The problem is land has come so expensive but many times you can lease is very reasonable for farming or ranching
Capitalism* > Socialism. However... big *. There is more to life than money and people of Molokai have found it. Community and slower pace of life so you can enjoy every year of it.
@@brinkee7674 almost everyone on molokai has a farm, most of the farms just arent for the public eye, doesnt mean they dont have them
Yup beautiful town it’s really look oldest town so beautiful
We need more CZcamsrs like you, Peter. As someone from India who's unlikely to visit so many places in the foreseeable future, you show us places that are worth exploring. Thank you!
This is so true👍
I agree!
He shows real America, Hawaii
I'm an American and I have no chance to get there either. I'm so grateful for Peter going to places I can't go visit! Much love from my house to yours!
Exactly , well said 😊 !
I was a staff writer for a newspaper on Molokai back in 2008.
I haven't seen Kaunakakai in years.
This video brought back a few memories.
If they are building a movie theater there , that's good.
A theater had closed when I got here.
Nice to see Molokai again.
Watching this was a tremendous experience to learn that there is at least one
place left on earth where people can live in harmony and with respect for nature.
If I had the money, there is nothing I'd rather do than secure the land for farming that
would support the entire island with food and employment and keep greedy corporate
developers from ever owning any of it.
Thank you for a great interview!
Your host is so open and honest. Very gracious to give his time and insights. These folks have many stories to tell. Thank you.
Yeah Ben is awesome for sure!
@@PeterSantenelloWas wondering, Peter...do you stay in touch with the hosts from all your travels?
Keep Moloka'i, Moloka'i! "As long as the parents are doing their job right / guardians doing it right. The world needs more of this!
after Listening to most people in your videos, they are children of the devil from every genre of false religions destined for eternal hell, and they blaspheme the true and only God almighty JESUS CHRIST by their worship and beliefs in their false gods they worship. repent and SERVE THE ONLY TRUE LIVING GOD JESUS CHRIST. 3¶“You must not have any other god but me.
22¶So Paul, standing before the council,fn addressed them as follows: “Men of Athens, I notice that you are very religious in every way,
23for as I was walking along I saw your many shrines. And one of your altars had this inscription on it: ‘To an Unknown God.’ This God, whom you worship without knowing, is the one I’m telling you about.
24¶“He is the God who made the world and everything in it. Since he is Lord of heaven and earth, he doesn’t live in man-made temples,
25and human hands can’t serve his needs-for he has no needs. He himself gives life and breath to everything, and he satisfies every need.
26From one manfn he created all the nations throughout the whole earth. He decided beforehand when they should rise and fall, and he determined their boundaries.
27¶“His purpose was for the nations to seek after God and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him-though he is not far from any one of us.
28For in him we live and move and exist. As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’
29And since this is true, we shouldn’t think of God as an idol designed by craftsmen from gold or silver or stone.
30¶“God overlooked people’s ignorance about these things in earlier times, but now he commands everyone everywhere to repent of their sins and turn to him.
31For he has set a day for judging the world with justice by the man he has appointed, and he proved to everyone who this is by raising him from the dead.”
32¶When they heard Paul speak about the resurrection of the dead, some laughed in contempt, but others said, “We want to hear more about this later.”
33That ended Paul’s discussion with them,
34but some joined him and became believers. Among them were Dionysius, a member of the council, a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
4¶“You must not make for yourself an idol of any kind or an image of anything in the heavens or on the earth or in the sea.
5You must not bow down to them or worship them, for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God who will not tolerate your affection for any other gods. I lay the sins of the parents upon their children; the entire family is affected-even children in the third and fourth generations of those who reject me.
6But I lavish unfailing love for a thousand generations on those who love me and obey my commands.
7¶“You must not misuse the name of the LORD your God. The LORD will not let you go unpunished if you misuse his name
(((((((1 JOHN 2 WARNING)))))) 22 And who is a liar? Anyone who says that Jesus is not the Christ. Anyone who denies the Father and the Son is an antichrist
THE COMMANDS TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER MEANS TO KEEP GODS COMMANDS. INCLUDING THE ONES BELOW.
2 JOHN 1:5And now, dear lady, I am not writing you a new command but one we have had from the beginning. I ask that we ****LOVE ONE ANOTHER.
6And this is love(AND THIS IS WHAT LOVING ONE ANOTHER IS/MEANS): that we walk in OBEDIENCE TO HIS COMMANDS. As you have heard from the beginning, his command is that you walk in love.
*JOHN 14:21Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.”
22Then Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, “But, Lord, why do you intend to show yourself to us and not to the world?”
23Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.
24Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.
25“All this I have spoken while still with you.
R0MANS 1: 28Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done.
29They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips,
30slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents;
31they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy.
32Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
GALATIANS 411I fear for you. Perhaps all my hard work with you was for nothing.
2 PETER 2 IS ONE OF COUNTLESS WORDS FROM THAT ARE LACKING
1But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them-bringing swift destruction on themselves.
2Many will follow their depraved conduct and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.
3In their greed these teachers will exploit you with fabricated stories. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
4For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them in chains of darkness to be held for judgment;
5if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;
6if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly;
7and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the depraved conduct of the lawless
8(for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)-
9if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to hold the unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgment.
10This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the flesh and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, they are not afraid to heap abuse on celestial beings;
11yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not heap abuse on such beings when bringing judgment on them from the Lord.
12But these people blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like unreasoning animals, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like animals they too will perish.
15They have left the straight way and wandered off to follow the way of Balaam son of Bezer, who loved the wages of wickedness.
16But he was rebuked for his wrongdoing by a donkey-an animal without speech-who spoke with a human voice and restrained the prophet’s madness.
17These people are springs without water and mists driven by a storm. Blackest darkness is reserved for them.
18For they mouth empty, boastful words and, by appealing to the lustful desires of the flesh, they entice people who are just escaping from those who live in error.
19They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves of depravity-for “people are slaves to whatever has mastered them.”
20If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and are overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning.
21It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them.
22Of them the proverbs are true: “A dog returns to its vomit,” and, “A sow that is washed returns to her wallowing in the mud.”
1 CORINTHIANS 10 IS NOT TO BE FORGOTTEN.
5Yet God was not pleased with most of them, and their bodies were scattered in the wilderness.
6These things happened as a warning to us, so that we would not crave evil things as they did,
7or worship idols as some of them did. As the Scriptures say, “The people celebrated with feasting and drinking, and they indulged in pagan revelry.”
8And we must not engage in sexual immorality as some of them did, causing 23,000 of them to die in one day.
9Nor should we put Christ to the test, as some of them did and then died from snakebites.
10And don’t grumble as some of them did, and then were destroyed by the angel of death.
11These things happened to them as examples for us. They were written down to warn us who live at the end of the age.
12If you think you are standing strong, be careful not to fall.
2 corinthians 19 You gladly put up with fools since you are so wise!
20In fact, you even put up with anyone who enslaves you or exploits you or takes advantage of you or puts on airs or slaps you in the face.
21To my shame I admit that we were too weak for that!
3But I fear that somehow your pure and undivided devotion to Christ will be corrupted, just as Eve was deceived by the cunning ways of the serpent.
4You happily put up with whatever anyone tells you, even if they preach a different Jesus than the one we preach, or a different kind of Spirit than the one you received, or a different kind of gospel than the one you believed.
5 But I don’t consider myself inferior in any way to these “super apostles” who teach such things.
6I may be unskilled as a speaker, but I’m not lacking in knowledge. We have made this clear to you in every possible way.
I was on Molokai. It is called the most Hawaiian island because mostly indigenous people live there. It’s very small - about 36 miles long and only 10 miles wide. Father Damien established a leper colony at one end of the island and also built churches early in the 20th century. The coast is spectacular with thousand foot waterfalls and sea caves. The surrounding ocean is crystal clear and abounds with sea tortoises, whales and a myriad of other marine life. Fruit grows wild for the picking. I loved it and would go back in a heartbeat.
Ben's teeth and smile are perfection. Dude radiates.
I'm born and raised in Hawaii and really loving this Hawaii Series. You got the right people taking you around
You're so right! Peter is amazing at choosing the perfect host no matter where he takes us.
That's one of many things that separates Peter from the pack,boy can sure pickum.
Genuine question: why do Hawaiians vote democrat by and large? I lived there for 5 years and every local I met had staunchly conservative values but said they voted democrat every time, while complaining about the gov being horrible. I genuinely just want to know what the reasoning is, as Hawaiians in general seem very conservative, traditional, religious, old school, etc.
@@JackTN678 I can only add my opinion and I feel most people are afraid of change and rather live with the "it is what it is" mindset. My parents and siblings are lifelong Dems, I am strongly opposed and feel that is the reason Hawaii is in a rapid downfall for decades. I've been planning to leave for years because I don't see a change for a positive in my lifetime
@@JackTN678 I know a lot of democrats in Hawaii but have relatives who are republicans too. I guess you gravitated towards the democrats. I guess democrats aren't supposed to complain about "the government?" Are you suggesting that Molokaians are democrats then? YOu spent 5 yrs on Oahu, but where exactly? In Waianae, Nanakuli, Waimanalo, Hawaii Kai, Kailua?
One of my life's most treasured memories was sailing a 30 ft sailboat with my Dad and brothers from Oahu to Maui and back. The first night, we anchored in the shelter of the south side of Molokai and went spear-fishing for lobster at night. On the way back, we sailed the phenomenal north cliffs of Molokai and reeled in a Tuna while doing our best to keep the boat on a steady course in high waves and deep seas. We had sashimi right on the deck. I will never forget the magic that surrounds Molokai.
Sounds awesome.
I’ve honestly NEVER heard a shred of knowledge about this island and its people. What an amazing series. I hope they always stand up for their home and keep it exactly how they want it.
I appreciate how respectful you are and how self-aware you are of your place as a visitor.
I used to work for the old ferry company before it shut down. I would go to Molokai every weekend. I love that place. Dave in the shop used to work on the ferry. He's such a nice guy.
We lived and worked in Hawaii from 1995 until 2006, but never made it to Molokai. I was the Yamaha piano dealer for the state and worked on the four major islands. Our franchise required that we take a container load of pianos to each of the four main island twice a year and offer them for sale. It was a great way to meet and work with a lot of great people. Thanks for the visit.
Did you tune them as well?
@@paulbrion2227 No, we had several piano tuners on each island to do that work. We only had one in-house electronics tech, so he had to travel to the other islands if there was a problem with a Disklavier, Clavinova, or Allen organ.
Did you ever work on a piano at Hannums Barbershop in the industrial park at Kailua on Hawaii?
@@paulbrion2227 No, not me, but there were 4 piano tuners on Oahu when I was living there. Today, I am aware of only two because one has died and another moved to the mainland to retire with a lower cost-of-living.
I might add….a Russian Oligarch named Yuri Milner, tried to dock his super yacht in Molokai. The entire town came out and refused him until he sailed away. Hail to the people of Molokai.
Hmmm dunno about that. Pretty sure it's false
But lerry Alison took over the island and owns all the homes.
Not sure about this incident, but Yuri Milner could hardly be called a Russian oligarch. He's not a member of the oligarchy, and he has even renounced his Russian citizenship. He lives in California.
@@marspalk7611 That’s a different island where that is happening, Lanai.
@@marspalk7611 wrong island. He owns 95% of Lanai.
BEN!!!! Holy Shit! I Booked a hunting trip with this guy last year! Ben is such an awesome guy! Had a wonderful time. We got some nice Axis Deer too. You would be lucky to have the opportunity to hunt with Ben. Guy really is the greatest, I hope more people see this and reach out to him and book a hunt.
Yess I hope the best for him!! Earth needs more like him!
Duke. My brother.😂

Wild turkeys too
Good stuff!
Molokai is awesome. I have great memories visiting there. It really felt like you were left with just nature and locals. No tourism in your face. People are wonderful.
"You have karens here?!" "Brah, they everywhere..." 😂😂😂

Psychos..
Stayed at kaluapapa for a week with a friend who worked at the leper colony, as an anthropologist. It was epic. Secluded and beautiful. Swam alone in protected waters. Hiked into lava tubes that fell into the ocean. St. Damian church, whales. Family dinners with the few remaining residents. Hiked down the tallest sea cliffs in the world to untouched barreling surf… God is good!
Where is it that I can fly my paraglider at those tall cliffs?
Yeah surf setups looked good
Ben just seems like one of those guys you want to hang out with.
Your channel is THE most important channel in the USA. I don’t know how else to put it. Please never stop bringing us all together.
I couldn't agree more, we are so divided it kills me.
I had a kinda odd life path and worked on fishing boats
For a number of years as a young man.
Almost anywhere I worked, I was in the extreme minority, as a white guy, and kinda square to boot.
We have so much more in common than people think.
We need to find a way to come together.
These videos are great. Thanks!
Not just US. I am Polish and watching it too. Very important content.
Peter your content shows a whole other side of this nation. You take the blinders off and pull away the stereotypes that we have heard from many generations about many different types of people in the lives, they lead. I love your content, and I’m a big fan. I’m really enjoying what you’re showing of Hawaii, a whole other side of a place that I’ve always wanted to come see for my own eyes.
I was lucky enough to live in Kihei in the early 60’s, as a kid. The only resort was the Maui Lu. There was not a single condo, not one. We spent Christmas 1963 at Makena beach, which has been consumed by resorts. In 1963, we had the entire beach to ourselves until late in the day, when a local family set up at the opposite end for a picnic. We attended a Hawaiian church, services in Hawaiian. I went barefoot to Kihei elementary. Having that exposure has made Molokai hold a special appeal to me. I’m not wealthy, just a regular guy, and I would love to live there! I’m not sure if I’d be welcome long enough for my love and respect for old Hawaii to be understood. You’ve taken me back 61 years! Thank you!
Absolutely love it. Born and raised on Big Island. Live on the east side practically all my life. I am 46 now. Never left to live anywhere else. Now with my own family and my own home and possessions, I can relate to this. The feeling of home is like nothing else. My “nest” is what I call it. Funny thing is, I have never been to Moloka’i. I want to visit someday though. I agree wholeheartedly about when the guy in the store said “Don’t change Moloka’i, let Moloka’i change you”. That is 1000000% correct. Another one is “Don’t change the culture, adjust to it”. Hawai’i as a whole is such a special place. Alot of places here though is changing unfortunately. All because of money. Truly a sad thing. I also agree deeply and wholeheartedly about farming. So much so that it literally makes me tear up. Especially the way the world is going today. Materialistic and not only that but so much people don’t know how to grow food. Or raise food. Or harvest meat. We are in the middle of the pacific. The most isolated place on earth. It boggles my mind how we import most of our food. It is CRAZY to think. I grow alot of our veggies right in our yard. Takes a ton of work no doubt. But to be able to eatwhat you grow is so rewarding. Not only the rewarding feeling, but the taste alone. Like night and day. Everyone on this planet should be able to sustain themselves at least a little bit. Have some knowledge and understanding about it.
Much love and Aloha from the big island 🙏🏼❤️🤙🏼
after Listening to most people in your videos, they are children of the devil from every genre of false religions destined for eternal hell, and they blaspheme the true and only God almighty JESUS CHRIST by their worship and beliefs in their false gods they worship. repent and SERVE THE ONLY TRUE LIVING GOD JESUS CHRIST. 3¶“You must not have any other god but me.
22¶So Paul, standing before the council,fn addressed them as follows: “Men of Athens, I notice that you are very religious in every way,
23for as I was walking along I saw your many shrines. And one of your altars had this inscription on it: ‘To an Unknown God.’ This God, whom you worship without knowing, is the one I’m telling you about.
24¶“He is the God who made the world and everything in it. Since he is Lord of heaven and earth, he doesn’t live in man-made temples,
25and human hands can’t serve his needs-for he has no needs. He himself gives life and breath to everything, and he satisfies every need.
26From one manfn he created all the nations throughout the whole earth. He decided beforehand when they should rise and fall, and he determined their boundaries.
27¶“His purpose was for the nations to seek after God and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him-though he is not far from any one of us.
28For in him we live and move and exist. As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’
29And since this is true, we shouldn’t think of God as an idol designed by craftsmen from gold or silver or stone.
30¶“God overlooked people’s ignorance about these things in earlier times, but now he commands everyone everywhere to repent of their sins and turn to him.
31For he has set a day for judging the world with justice by the man he has appointed, and he proved to everyone who this is by raising him from the dead.”
32¶When they heard Paul speak about the resurrection of the dead, some laughed in contempt, but others said, “We want to hear more about this later.”
33That ended Paul’s discussion with them,
34but some joined him and became believers. Among them were Dionysius, a member of the council, a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
4¶“You must not make for yourself an idol of any kind or an image of anything in the heavens or on the earth or in the sea.
5You must not bow down to them or worship them, for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God who will not tolerate your affection for any other gods. I lay the sins of the parents upon their children; the entire family is affected-even children in the third and fourth generations of those who reject me.
6But I lavish unfailing love for a thousand generations on those who love me and obey my commands.
7¶“You must not misuse the name of the LORD your God. The LORD will not let you go unpunished if you misuse his name
(((((((1 JOHN 2 WARNING)))))) 22 And who is a liar? Anyone who says that Jesus is not the Christ. Anyone who denies the Father and the Son is an antichrist
THE COMMANDS TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER MEANS TO KEEP GODS COMMANDS. INCLUDING THE ONES BELOW.
2 JOHN 1:5And now, dear lady, I am not writing you a new command but one we have had from the beginning. I ask that we ****LOVE ONE ANOTHER.
6And this is love(AND THIS IS WHAT LOVING ONE ANOTHER IS/MEANS): that we walk in OBEDIENCE TO HIS COMMANDS. As you have heard from the beginning, his command is that you walk in love.
*JOHN 14:21Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.”
22Then Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, “But, Lord, why do you intend to show yourself to us and not to the world?”
23Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.
24Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.
25“All this I have spoken while still with you.
R0MANS 1: 28Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done.
29They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips,
30slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents;
31they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy.
32Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
GALATIANS 411I fear for you. Perhaps all my hard work with you was for nothing.
2 PETER 2 IS ONE OF COUNTLESS WORDS FROM THAT ARE LACKING
1But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them-bringing swift destruction on themselves.
2Many will follow their depraved conduct and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.
3In their greed these teachers will exploit you with fabricated stories. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
4For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them in chains of darkness to be held for judgment;
5if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;
6if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly;
7and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the depraved conduct of the lawless
8(for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)-
9if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to hold the unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgment.
10This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the flesh and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, they are not afraid to heap abuse on celestial beings;
11yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not heap abuse on such beings when bringing judgment on them from the Lord.
12But these people blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like unreasoning animals, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like animals they too will perish.
15They have left the straight way and wandered off to follow the way of Balaam son of Bezer, who loved the wages of wickedness.
16But he was rebuked for his wrongdoing by a donkey-an animal without speech-who spoke with a human voice and restrained the prophet’s madness.
17These people are springs without water and mists driven by a storm. Blackest darkness is reserved for them.
18For they mouth empty, boastful words and, by appealing to the lustful desires of the flesh, they entice people who are just escaping from those who live in error.
19They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves of depravity-for “people are slaves to whatever has mastered them.”
20If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and are overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning.
21It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them.
22Of them the proverbs are true: “A dog returns to its vomit,” and, “A sow that is washed returns to her wallowing in the mud.”
1 CORINTHIANS 10 IS NOT TO BE FORGOTTEN.
5Yet God was not pleased with most of them, and their bodies were scattered in the wilderness.
6These things happened as a warning to us, so that we would not crave evil things as they did,
7or worship idols as some of them did. As the Scriptures say, “The people celebrated with feasting and drinking, and they indulged in pagan revelry.”
8And we must not engage in sexual immorality as some of them did, causing 23,000 of them to die in one day.
9Nor should we put Christ to the test, as some of them did and then died from snakebites.
10And don’t grumble as some of them did, and then were destroyed by the angel of death.
11These things happened to them as examples for us. They were written down to warn us who live at the end of the age.
12If you think you are standing strong, be careful not to fall.
2 corinthians 19 You gladly put up with fools since you are so wise!
20In fact, you even put up with anyone who enslaves you or exploits you or takes advantage of you or puts on airs or slaps you in the face.
21To my shame I admit that we were too weak for that!
3But I fear that somehow your pure and undivided devotion to Christ will be corrupted, just as Eve was deceived by the cunning ways of the serpent.
4You happily put up with whatever anyone tells you, even if they preach a different Jesus than the one we preach, or a different kind of Spirit than the one you received, or a different kind of gospel than the one you believed.
5 But I don’t consider myself inferior in any way to these “super apostles” who teach such things.
6I may be unskilled as a speaker, but I’m not lacking in knowledge. We have made this clear to you in every possible way.
Much respect to the Molokai boys! That gentleman was quite humble about all they have accomplished, but their efforts have stymied a lot of developers who thought their money outweighed public opinion. Stand strong, guys, you remind us how to push back with graceful authority.
Yes!!! 🙌
PETER!!!! I truly love that you left patching the tire up in here. I know you're truly authentic when the quality content comes from situations that REALLY happen in your travels. But the way all hawaiian are with stress is THIS.
He didn’t care one bit just smiling 🤣🙌
Peter, I can’t express how much I appreciate your channel. Feels like I was there with you!
@ 43:10 this angle shot of Ben and the cliffs behind him is just absolutely fantastic. What a place, what a paradise. Molokai!
You do a great job of asking good questions without being pushy.
Only an hour in and already over 22,000 people know about a great fishing and tour guide - may Ben's and his fellow islanders businesses prosper! May the people of Molokai remain ever vigilant aginst the developers and keep the island pure!
200K views in 11 hours...mind blowing and well deserved, Peter. People shine so bright when they're doing what they love and what they're meant to do. So happy for you and Natalia!
My soul is restored in knowing our world still has homegrown communities in it that live more aligned w/ nature & each other! Thank you for sharing these stories… what an absolute paradise! ❤
I miss the old Hawaii, and thankfully this place bring real Hawaii back❤❤
Breaks my heart to watch this. My husband is Kamalo, the original homestead family. He died a few years ago. His name on Molokai was Kepalo (devil). When you drove by Molokai High, so sad. He graduated in 1958.
I’m so sorry for your loss, and for all of our losses, over the years…Sad.❤
@@nadogrl In Hawaii we say Mahalo (thank you)
He's walking with our ancestors now...& Will always be with you
@@Frank-uw5xq Mahalo nui loa
I would implement the largest agrofoodforestry-based oasis there. Michelin chefs would be importing hundreds of different types of produce, meats, herbs, etc.
I spent many days on molokai as a kid. The locals were super cool. The town was chill. Glad to see its still perfect. Dont change!!! 🤙
Peter, these Hawaiian segments is one of the best ones you’ve done! And I followed you for a year or something. But I love how much soul essence it is in those stories and the ones you meet. So thank you Peter! God bless your wife too for letting you go to do these trips 🥰🙏🏽
Hope that island can remain that way.
Peter’s channel really brings me back to my childhood watching Huell Howser.
Welcome to another episode of California GOLD
It really does have the same vibe! I love that show.
I’ve lived in Maui for 25 years. I’ve been working with wildfire survivors for the last 6 months. It has been really really tough. Mahalo for focusing on Molokai. I would fly those small planes regularly to do mobile notaries over there! I loved those jobs! Those planes flying along the cliffs is amazing. Also it takes 30 seconds to walk from one end of the airport to the other. Yep I timed it once! Aloha and love from Maui 🌸👏🫶🏼
I was homeless for a while in Molokai, very friendly people, you treat them with respect, its reciprocated😊
Why homeless bro?
@@zuhdiyya probably meth
@@zuhdiyyaprobably a hippy. Too many come to Hawai’i n pan handle n do hippy shit.
These are some very nice, happy, beautiful people. Great smiles, the most no ka oi culture. I love Hawaii. Keep it Hawaiian 💯 . This is the Aloha spirit. Bless these folks 🙏 cheehoo
Thanks to Ben for representing the local people in a positive light! You are genuinely a local boy at heart...no ka oi!!
29:08 that view is UNREAL.
It's like you're on top of the world or a different planet or something. wow
I grew up in Hawai'i (Oahu). I live in Japan now, but I miss it dearly. I've always been fascinated with Moloka"i and its history. This is by far my favorite video you have done.. Thank you, great job!
The water is so clear and blue (untouched). Beautiful.
It is, Hawaii was beautiful snorkeling
Happy to see you exploring this part of Hawaii. As a Canadian I've visited various islands and love the Hawaiian people. They are gracious and very welcoming.
I LOVE Molokai. Stayed there for a month back in 2015 for work. I loved every second there.
Im from Hawaii and this was good kine. Bless you braddah! Keep the Hawaiians safe lord!
Ok mainlander.
Hawaii is the mainland
The store owner @18:10 is so humble. He lived there for almost 2 decades but still claims to be from San Diego. (Which is ironically where I am posting this comment from)
That’s because in some eyes he will never be considered a “local”.
He will always be a “transplant” or “malahini” in other local eyes.
Growing up “Haole” was used to describe white people from the mainland.
It was in high school I learned “Haole” could also mean “those without breath” or describing those as non Hawaiians.
But “Haole” was used exclusively on white people. I have never heard that word used on the Japanese, Koreans, Chinese, or Filipinos.
“Popolo” is used to describe Blacks.
@spinner7801 It's interesting that brown people have unique or special names for white people. "Those without breath" or "Haole" for example. Whenever white people come up with unique names for brown people, we get canceled and called racist. I'm not complaining, just noticing things. ✌️ ☮️ 🕊 🏳️ ✌️ Oh and you also can't criticize Israel I have noticed. 😉 This comment will probably be banned anyway.
Where I am from, anyone can show up and call themselves Americans. That is just part of our culture. You can even come illegally and sanctuary cities like NYC will provide you with some very nice benefits. I love Biden. ❤️
Be you have to be “born and raised” to be local. That’s how Hawaii is.
@@myreallife6386 That is pretty interesting!
I was full of joy watching this video, Peter. You always have a sense of knowing the right people to interview. They have an amazing spirit and we truly feel it. I’ve never traveled anywhere, but watching your videos gives me enjoy and feeling that I somewhat have traveled even though I’m watching it on video. Thank you so much. Keep up the good work.
I was in Molokai last year, loved it! Don’t change Molokai 🤙🏾
I've lived in Hawaii 4 times and still feel like it's home but so far beyond my income , thank you so much Peter , I'm amazed you're doing this series , lots of love ❤
I love how he said everything has life on the island. Just watching the video, you can feel the presence of something you cannot see. I can see why Peter felt the way he did. So interesting!
his sense of humour is contagious
I had the blessing to stay on Molokai for 9 months, 7 months longer than I anticipated. They say she'll either welcome you or spit you out. Boy was I welcomed! The people there are incredible. I really enjoyed the much slower pace of life and getting connected with nature. Those 9 months felt like a rebirth and I've never been the same since (in a good way of course).
Amazing work ! You should go to Guam next! A place with many issues and “where Americas day begin” but nobody talks about it. A small island but the biggest of the Micronesia and full of history! Let me know and I can connect you with someone there. Thanks
I second Guam!
And Saipan and Rota
@@KhunPamela1963 yes yes yes! I didn’t mean to not include them. Just wanted to keep the message simple in hopes Peter sees it…. But most definitely all those places need attention since they are in such key location for this turmoiled world we live in (which they suffer for it)… and since there is so much sad recent history and beautiful ancestral history there to see, and everything in between as well. Hoepfully he sees this.
@@jessekendall4658 yess! Let’s bump this comment
Tinian!!! So much history and it would be really interesting to know how the locals feel about the military coming back.
A Filipino right here watching all the way from Thailand. Shout out to Ben, who’s also a bit of Filipino.
You’ve won life, Peter! What a beautiful way to spend your time traveling our wonderful country. I can’t even begin to know what it must feel like to meet all of these different people/ethnicities/cultures, etc.
I admire you & your channel. ❤
Wow! Never seen Molokai so much from land. Mostly from the water on our boat. It’s one of those magical islands where you don’t go ashore without permission. Been to Kaunakakai a few times but with family from there. Beautiful place and beautiful people there.
One thing we knew is to fit in. Don’t bring your Oahu attitude over there. Show respect and you’ll make friends for life.
You gotta do another video with this guy. Best one so far on this adventure. I feel like he has so much more to show us all.
More pigeon English! I’m fascinated. The energy of the island comes through viscerally on this video. Thank you.
Peter. You reveal the human spirit thriving in many places around the world. Connecting viewers who may never physically get to these places but can still feel a connection of respect and briefly share their struggles and hopes. Much like our own lives. Makes for a better world. Thank you.
I love Ben’s comment. It’s Montana with an Ocean view. Place is so beautiful. I’m definitely sustainable. Farming would be awesome for everyone. Thank you for sharing. I miss the islands.
"Keep Moloka'i, Moloka'a" that is all of us every where. People are tired of their hometown cities changing for the worse. Seems like a chill place, I hope they can keep it the way it is. Another great video Peter.
Eventhogh this place is mostly deserted, it feels peacefull somehow. Thanks Peter for giving us a tour.
It is
Totally agree. And the cooler temps are a big plus.
I love your videos so much Peter. You have found your life’s purpose and mission. I think you’re a miracle of a creator, and your videos shine light into a darkening world. Thank you for all you do.
Hey Pete, first time watching your channel and I couldn't be more grateful to you and Ben.
I was born on an Island and raised in the mountains of the interior. A place where the stars lit up the night sky and the clouds slept in the valley below.
As you and Ben toured, a part of me connected strongly to Molok'i. I will go and hopefully hunt and fish and take in what I thought was lost forever. No fancy hotel, streetlights etc., just good people and beautiful land and sea to admire.
I pray and hope it stays forever the same. Thanks guys and Ben, I hope to meet you in person.
Mahalo
17:45 that is one awesome concept, someone that uses their business to help the whole community. Amazing!
Oh, how I would love to garden in Hawaii...and he is correct, you can grow all year, the most perfect climate I have ever been to. Mahalo, and prayers for a generous soul to bring abundance and prosperity to the people of Hawaii.
Thank you Peter Santenello for keeping all things real! Keep Molokai Molokai 💯 %! &Keep all towns for the real ppl who live in them!
U know its special when she prefers to come home after traveling the world. That's priceless!
Peter, it just keeps getting better and better. This was an amazing piece. Thank you.
29:10 wow, that view
How wild, one island over someone is stuck in traffic in a rented BMW heading to the mall. Here is the exact opposite a rock skip away.
Pigdin language is where "an old-fashion beating" is called "tough love." Gotta love this!
Catch cracks!
Wow what a privilege to let us see some of the island, thank you Ben & of course Peter
When he tells Peter the Romans did the same thing with the sports. He's talking about the Bread and Circuses, the Coliseum. The gladiator system.
To keep us all distracted all part of their agenda..
This is the Hawaii I remember.
Been to Molokai last year, was weird at first, but feel in love with the place by the time I left. I stayed in the west, it’s kind of dry and barren, but the beaches are great and the locals were super nice. I wish there was better access to food but other than that it’s an amazing place.
I must say, we spoke to a lot of locals, we traveled with a group of us and it’s kind of funny how people quickly grew to know us. And I kind of don’t understand the situation out there. Pretty much every Molokai local mentions they need cheaper food, powder, water, and a better quality of life but no one wants any development on the island. The large Sheraton on the island is shut, the town you seen is shut, and these two economic drivers which are already there been shutdown because of the huge local backlash-but apparently locals did flock to these places to enjoy and work. In my head I understand why they reacted negatively, Molokai is special, but I cannot connect the dots to how they’d anticipate this be done without development?
Superb video! Born and raised on Oahu and never been to Molokai yet. No one has done such an in depth video before on CZcams and you had the perfect tour guide.
What a lucky time we all live in that we can vicariously experience through a great guy like Peter things we likely will never get to experience in real life. I’m grateful for a channel like this because I get to see places and people that I may never see in person, but get to learn important lessons from nonetheless. 👍
This is beautiful!
I hope that they can grow all of their food and never be dependent on outside sources. ❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉
I love Hawaii and have been to 4 of the 8 islands. We lived on Oahu for fours years. I have long life Ohana from our time there and we are always welcome when we visit. I never was able to go to Molokai. Thank you for this very informative tour and bruddah Ben for the awesome history lesson and showing the world the local Hawaiian vibe! Mahalo! 🤙🤙
I had the privilege of visiting Molokai in 2012. The experience has never left me. I still dream about it today. What an immense pleasure to see my favorite you tuber experience it
My favourite memory of Molokai in the early 2000s was the Molokai bread man. Knock on the door. He takes your money. Wait in the alley until he opens a different window and hands you your bread with the works. Butter, cream cheese and jam. I think he passed away but he was a local legend.
My dad and I were hired from
so-cal and flown to Molokai to hang the drywall on those 2story low income houses in Mauna Loa back in ‘93. Best 2 1/2 months I’ve spent on a job. And I remember a bunch of us workers coming back from the baseball field stopped at that same bakery, walked down that same ally to that same door with a window and bought 9 loaves of different flavored Hawaiian Sweet bread. Had to drive back to the Kananikai Condos,
Not one loaf made it back!
I too visited Phalic Rock....3months after I got back to the Mainland, my wife ended up pregnant....superstition???
We had been married for 5yrs at that point without any luck conceiving, then BLAMO!! lol
Wow, I'd forgotten this! Yes, amazing!
yes, Howard died a long time ago. Quiet, but very nice guy. And the bread changed since. The whole process changed, not the same like back even before 2000.
I've done that on molokai,😂 lol thanks for bring that up!! That's something I'll always cherish
We knocked on the door at 2:00 AM .....he opened the window 🪟 and blessed us with piping hot sweet bread 🍞. He backed all night long . What a memory that I cherish still. What an honor to meet that beautiful soul
Such a beautiful place thanks for showing us this amazing beauty
I have been to that island. I helped rebuild and paint the air plane control tower.i was their 2 weeks over my birthday. The ice-cream shop was the best. I stayed in a condo on the beach. This was Maybe 12 hrs ago. We had the locals help wit the works they showed me a few things. Very cool place. The shell station is still the same. I'm sure ace hardware is still their too.
My wife mother and father retired and leave in Molokai way back in 1986. We visited the Island with my wife and 2 kids and fell in love. There is no stop light and the locals were very nice of welcoming us.
We took a small plane ride from Maui to Molakai.
