JEROME “TIGER” METCALFE for Maui County Council 2016

it is nice on the streets I’ll try to watching a sunset to receive it and it’s you and me on a page you this is up close and personal 2016 the only two guys that keep getting younger our Tiger Metcalfe hey Tiger me buddy Jerome Tiger Metcalfe running for county council no matter where you are any of the three islands Molly Molokai lanai if you like Tiger Metcalfe boat forum we don’t have districts remember that you vote for all of them so if you like them both on got a very important part I am

01:07

very happy to be here again with Tiger you know you have been inspirational to me because between elections you’re still at it there is no law in your enthusiasm for what you want to do you’re not like a campaign junkie who’s out there says the thing and then goes home right you’re involved in these issues a lot of the reasons you’re running this time what’s your plan um big on a big on the schedule is we have an opportunity of a lifetime with Maui County right now and that is with the

01:44

sugar crop going to stop the sugar cane company will probably be the sugar hemp company where they help the aged cns hemp company or something to that matter of fact I don’t know what the other sustainable crops they want to put in Iowa a list that I would dictate that I think should be I’m gonna break it in because I think you’ll appreciate ya maui tomorrow has a director named al Perez excellently I know for 25 years yep he gave me a copy of their farm plan for what to do with the land I can feel

02:18

Lucien dinnae and the rest of the incredibly good researchers behind this it was so well done I think they’d cns and maui county should really applaud yeah incredible job done I do too there are so many answers I want to do I mean these guys have analyzed windbreaks what kind of crops what needs to be done what’s order of things to be done we are blessed if you have people like that and groups like that it’s you CN and Sam small and some of the people who are out there doing these shows yeah doc ock kuh

02:55

we all should be very thankful that they have committed people like that I’d given to people like you you’ve been involved in things like I say it’s not only election time you’re involved I see you talking about stuff going on with Monsanto whether there’s an issue up or not you are in their face right up it to answer your question for less than the main thing that I think has to happen in here we have to take advantage of and set the cornerstone for it for the first time in Mali’s history we’re going to go

03:28

from tourism which is great we want to build it bigger it better but we want to go into sustainable farming so we are going to go into a dual economy and especially if I make the County Council you’re going to understand the way i vote on different bills later will be to shape this we’re going to split this up but of the tourism business and the agricultural business will be offshoots of synergy of new businesses and new areas we can go in to employ our people here and make more money in wages for

04:01

each other because there’s a piece of action for individual self and individual self starters to use the entrepreneurial micro macro I would have to say platitudes that are there for us to take this to another level if we end the university with sustainability going on we have these that are going to they’re going to be fruit it’ll be the little little nuts and so like that that will grow into plants and and the offshoots into tourists how about ecotourism how wilco lobby being able to

04:31

take people out there etc etc we can make this into another whole industry that that people like us well I’ve always want to go into business myself but it’s hard to going to transmit but I can go in using a farming micro macro model we can take that using our tech Park up in kihei here of state of the art to use technologies etc in a different way and you might be able to get a band and dry people through the fields our new crops that’s a business by itself in it I’m gonna stop the only a

04:59

hearse get i’m at expressing frustration i ran for mayor in 1994 okay and when i was running all the things you’re talking about i mentioned i am angry and i guess i should tell you I’m angry at the people that have been in office because I’ve been putting out these same ideas you’re talking about for two decades some of the people that you’re talking about problem Lucia and Sam yes more on people these ideas are not new I spoke to a guy to two people that have done a total reforestation from barren

05:37

wasteland 2 and three decades ago I’ve shared with maui county i try to share with hcs i try to share with the county they don’t listen no um so i hope now because now our crisis and now this is like some new thing right this is not a new thing ecotourism should have been put in two decades right ago and that’s the part so i have to express it because more important than anything whether you get the seat or not and i’m not yelling right right Don couches a wonderful guy but you’re a leader thank you and these

06:18

are things that need someone to take the ball and get her over the goal line I’ve been playing on the field right but i am not the quarterback you’re a quarterback i can see in just knowing you and the way you address things you’re a leader react charge guy and I’ve seen not only by your experience in the private sector I mean I don’t have to tell many people Jerry Metcalfe tiger Metcalfe was owner of the alehouse right I don’t do something unless it makes money to pay for itself

06:50

and then give it back to the public in lower rates or more or bigger or better next thing on your is proper sewage treatment I can’t even emphasizes me my girlfriend my beautiful girlfriend Katie ethereal we were out in the ocean today and it it was cloudy and I got it was just some weird colleges stuff like that but you could use a couple things on the shores but then the foeman’s like that I just thought uh we got to do something with this water I got a test tube and I put iodine in it and I took a couple of

07:19

other tests on it up here at my house that I have and it comes back like it’s polluted like it’s got almost like a urine acid prep prep precipice to it okay i’ll be getting product it looks like it’s almost like oil or something or some kind of a mass algae growing in it ok this is what out the I’m an amateur a biologist work with a test tube but look at that suits their I was in the ocean today and I came back and it were suggested when you were in the ocean what in our towers you shower

07:52

twice and don’t be afraid a little gone on you and get on ok cuz I don’t want anybody to get red eye and all this other god help you get the open cut ok look at Government Accountability shame shame shame on our current council now I’m sure other candidates a shade is anything but i bet you take apart each each one of the initiatives that they put on an especially with the Planning Commission ok and the Ethics Commission so like that the debates going on it’s like that I look at the accountability

08:16

of each of these individual components reporting to the mayor reporting to Jason reporting to Sam small reporting to Bruce Reynolds to going Ollie and we find this disparity into it let’s shape up to do it to do a proper accounting and then to make one Robert let’s do with numbers but accountability has to do with your thought pattern and create those numbers honestly and what’s really and also in facts what’s what’s the fact what’s a scientific technology is it this or that we want to pick the best

08:43

and sometimes it may be the most expensive but once it’s paid for it’s free the other thing about it is I look at a home rule in affordable housing home rule on this island is our right to pick a sustainable way of doing things now with that which floating bonds or paying for them now you know my stand on this and that is we may have to go in debt to call you me up to step up in a plate and put us in real debt to build some affordable housing but guess what they’ll own the profits from it long

09:11

term okay and that means we actually own the county will own some about land and projects okay wrong with that if we do everything in a sustainable basis with a profit revenue basis that comes out at a positive value on a yearly basis okay start up and everything’s expensive but that you how long can you take the payoff that okay and that’s your judgment I’ll call risk and it’s also comes to do with a sustainable enriched plan from a thought pattern to final goal and making it pay

09:38

for itself because everybody goes I’ll jump on par with Debbie pays for itself but how much well we wanted to paper a lot because you want to build back at the upper our bonds of that we’re doing this county I think our county budget this year was the understand is up here are seven seven hundred and seven hundred and eleven point five million dollars okay I hope under mean we we may get a billion but let’s we’re going to be spending the money to rebuild infrastructure rebuild a sewage operator

10:08

build our water system and the other thing is with this water meter situation of country it taking somewhere miss basis it’s taking two to three maybe ten years and so many people to get a mirror okay the cost of the meters at re right now whoever whatever we’d sign a contract with a company like that they would charge that much for a meteor ever heard a badger meter yeah they build the most meters in the world it’s based in Wisconsin I’m kind of friendly Wisconsin I know a lot of the executive back here

10:33

look at all my age now because we all grew up to go and I also know how to vibe your Chi okay that’s why I was in the barbers it’s okay so I’m gonna tell you something else you have you have bad you reader that will sell those meters to you for basically $18 not 250 hours so we need to look at how to buy stuff you know in a different volume situation and negotiations or contracts in a better way I bring all this savings to it and a way to fun stuff because I’ve been in business at the yellow side by a

11:01

lot of toilet paper but i buy it all bulk they even gave you a discount at costco because i buy so much i’ve had a couple pallets of it i distort so i built a billion back in the alehouse I’m just trying to tell you on how to buy a lot up how to bring the cost down to a company makes or poor community makes money and sometimes you have to do some hard cut thinking about this and that’s where I think I bring leadership and I bring the ability as a past CEO and now CEO of met you have enterprises and i

11:26

will be at we are i want to tell about i am moving all operations Wisconsin my dad’s death and Metcalfe trust has been settled I’m bringing all those assets and stuff when I say stuff and 10 glasses there’s acid money and it was add to Maui County just because I love living out here and i hope i can enrich a lot of young people in some of the classes i see at the you H and at the technology lab here a plethora of x mark bring what a beautiful facility of sustainable i look at moving the future

11:57

in that way for everybody but they have our keiki see there is hope there is a better reason for living here and staying in Hawaii’s and a brain during it’s a bit of a peril problem ER and I understanding it that somebody got the chickens got to fly and the birds gotta fly to another place come back see the grass was just as greener is our side and a paradise on here and we need we need to contain these young killed I want to give them hope I want how to turn this island in a very very efficient operation in a county ways and

12:22

also with a revenue stream okay and not overtax people thank you you know sometimes I have shows and there’s these big long periods because I’m talking to people that don’t have too many ideas in there not sure what I’m gonna ask blank you go and say I mean by 30 reason why to vote for me they’re all listed in her you’ll be shocked when you read us up it’s so simple it’s so simple we’re gonna give Tiger his own radio show I think I you really are I’m rihanna’s I’m

12:54

gonna make you to contribute Jason and I really appreciate when we’re on camera there’s I see we might just leave this on his pockets friend because when you listen to me at my tias conversations of I get to listen to how much he loves people on this island and what’s going on I get the inside track on it from Jason also from Sam small occasionally when I’ve had competition with him but jason has been the guiding light for me in that him being a candidate for past mirror I never thought I’d run for

13:22

anything I that’s really not my goal but I can understand you’re on the island we just we need to do something to get the the bottle and we spin it to come out in a different direction instead of over there yes okay and I know how to make that I might spin on the much slower and guess what we’re going to get grab knowledge when you get the experts involving family we get a report mate and we’re going to vote on it you get it passed okay because that’s gonna that’s going to be

13:46

the new way of doing things and we know i’m saying i think i almost just signed up but i’m not going to this in these SMEs what i needed to build on this island we’ve done so many of them can we take can we take it that we know what the general rule is where the water is going to run what’s going to happen and what’s going to happen with the wind and and oceans like what did just say although he’s talking about environmental studies and all kinds of things that have to be done on each

14:16

project we have done them so many times yeah yeah this is the reward we’ve done okay our builders come in there’s been four of them that i watch the newspaper the last since I went and picked up Larry nomination papers ala leu leu mckenna west maui and central right here in PA three projects were the companies that were going to build these beautiful things and put on the market for us the way the new way of because a very familiar to get affordable housing in the mix right away so we know they’d be

14:49

really thirty percent and we know that BB seventy percent would be rolling for private and for not a foreign policy okay because that’s the component that makes the Builder and the company money and they need to make a profit we all agree with that but the beautiful thing is that it was all we been rewarded these builders and these companies have gone like this our down payments to build this and go through all these testings like that keep it don’t ever call us take us off your daddy and call

15:14

list because we are don’t want to do business with mowing you guys have made it impossible you’re trying to eat us alive and we have been broken ground yet so what I’m trying to say is that we know what’s going to happen we know we need the housing we know it’s gonna the water is going to run down and we got to capture it we gotta recycle it we got to put it in holding bins you’ve gotta put they got to have a component for their own pond next to it or somewhere to ship it off and purify it and then probably

15:39

reuse it but we want these complexes almost self-sustainable well we’ve made it so hard on people we need people like me in here to do some negotiating for you to them and using our Planning Commission and I’m not saying get away with making them do anything illegal but there’s a lot of stuff that could be short putter and fast track and God dang it if we don’t start right now I mean I’ve been some of my friends been looking for places to live it went from on an average but it

16:06

used to be 23 years ago from a thousand dollars for a 2 bedroom 2 2200 three thousand dollars for a three-bedroom come on come on folks that’s because of the shortage see we have what’s going on supply and demand yer as our demand but as our supply goes down are doing some people are in office yeah generation coming up there’s a new generation of candidates coming up and I include myself as being one of the younger yeah I’m getting to be old by I feel like a very young man I kept myself in good

16:40

shape i watch understand and I hope I’m here for a long time and I hope you give me an opportunity I remember now when he comes in at losing that way you got a candidate right here that really doesn’t care about the salary some of these people are built they have to get that money you got to have that money running for the test okay my heart is in to protect and help and save money and create a sustainable model for all the while and ions so we can almost select technology in last year’s or two years

17:06

ago when i ran i put together two manifesto i’m going to print my i’ma put my old manifesto on i’m going to put the new manifesto on a luxury Metcalfe calm and you put these things side by side and then underneath it i’ll put down around another page will be the 30 reason to vote for me i think you’re going to be butting oh my god no I got oh ho oh how I get to say to stone you didn’t like this I told you this a long time ago I be able to say I told you so okay remember I told you I know how to

18:11

19:10

remodeling and enforcing this beautiful infrastructure we have into a sustainable revenue stream in micro macro business models because that’s what I understand is business and making numbers work thank you all rights pleasure to talk to you but I’m you don’t need any lighter fluid to start the fire yeah I think I’m glad you called me it’s sunny by the way Jason lectured i was at my girlfriend went went swimming today and I got so much stuff i got 350 new signs i was talking

19:41

about that are going to go up and III guess it shows the public that you got money at you that you’re serious about this I’ve never been more serious about this in my entire life I give you my abilities I give you everything with a school for all the certificates I’ve gotten in different community college different projects and meaningful hot of chromes and how to grow very feeds why listen to those classes I’ve taken all those different things by adventure one of the greatest knowledge thanks we have

20:12

on this island I’ve been up that adventures yeah you’ll know them the University of Hawaii Maui college hey isn’t that a neat is that a nice offshoot like I keep talking about but the tourist industry one valve one fun piston and then you got agriculture to Tulum run okay look at the University and then we got another little one adventure disappoint people want to get educated real quick and common sense stuff okay so you look at that big universities got to you get your kids involved in it I’ve let seven people

20:41

I’ve sponsored into the University and about 25 that I encouraged to go there which they report to me besides their professors I go to the sky go to the University also and I want to understand I this man right here musician and like that i think i was on you you said you don’t need it you didn’t want it you’re a butt but you looked into it you like this by golly tiger up I didn’t mean fun to go back to school he’s already got a jump ring out okay so you had a negative rate you know in at all you know the

21:09

nice thing is just knowledge and I encourage people to be at the University until they die because I was always talk with my grandfather if you learn one new thing a day you cannot be unsuccessful so I look at it like that I’ve always had a lifeboat I’ve always had a life cushions as I understand going on in a ocean you better be perfect everything’s I got us prepared I’ve done the homework I’ve got the research I want to implement it I’m going to need some consensus synergy from the rest of the

21:37

council because I mean it hurt some feelings on this show and I probably will hurt your feelings in the future as the Sam small as Jason points out very articulate things that he says because he has the right inside prep we look at us as being the people on this island that are taking this knowledge and we’re going to start giving it out in a prosperous way to transform this county from the past not everything and not everything was bad in the past or and I want to get an ethic but there’s been

22:03

some bad direction okay and that was because they were running with the pack we need new leaders to be their own people okay which i am i’m not a consensus man okay when they came to the board meetings they like this who’s the owner of the company Jerome etka who’s underneath of dro met cup oh you that two or three manager like that why i had i run think hands-on and in my area here PA the fastest growing demographic area in accounting new high school coming in a five new of shopping districts coming

22:32

in up behind safeway and so I did we’ve got the land trust up behind tesoro we’ve got our roads if you go to key and sometimes you take a right or left and it goes with dead end road we got to connect these connector roads and get these things done because we need to take the traffic thrust and overpopulation on the highways and move these TV side streets so it was planned I don’t know why they’ve been sitting there empty let’s get some boulders in yours I can call a couple of guys over

22:55

the hazard but animals have probably have the bulldozers there monday morning you have to start cutting strong and you need to make a Funko at the state I think there’s a state going out fact I know there is let’s get the guy here put his hard head on the 50th these roads done okay because we get this done it eliminates all this congestion so that our stoplights we don’t need 15 stop lights on rolling okay we need to have the traffic you know in an orderly manner using all the traffic roads where

23:17

they live okay and i also think funneling up there you guys are getting all this information on any road built without a sidewalk on one side and next to that Sidewalk within three feet of the curb to have a bike path does i’m a pipette marked on it kit shame on everybody for safety do you understand how important is on one side of every road have a sidewalk because we become unfabulous and number two we know we can get on our bike if we want to be fast a fast walker get fast walk on your plate

23:44

you don’t have to worry about traffic hitting you in a main late of its market walking sidewalk or running or whatever and number two right next to it within three feet of a curve should be a bike on every road we have okay and between the road and the bike way i would like to make a call for submerging these utilities yeah we’re such a beautiful place and they still put these don’t ulcer why we even have a telephone post in here you let me tell you something about this since we rock we close the

24:15

show when you’re going to edit this over but maybe this oh come on no editing okay okay okay well you look at this thing and jason uh no sir but do you guys realize if there’s ever an impulse of charge shut off in some kind of a nuclear weapon that would go up on like Isis and stuff is threatening on the East Coast and if it would go up up rationally I believe it’s seven miles up and it goes off it’ll down and crystallized all copper from New York all the way to mississippi river will be in before the Stone Age ok

24:49

so that’s why I say get the stuff on the ground and converted the glass and anything else but copper that’ll give a con doin see to electricity this is a matter of national emergency they’re not telling you this President Obama knows what’s going on and we’re scared crapless for hell on the East Coast I have a lot of relatives are into like that something like that would happen besides a biohazard while reciting psychos running around blowing up at baseball games that sup with you is best

25:14

for so but I want to understand how important is and Jason hit the nail on head number one the eyesore for our beautiful paradise here we don’t need a telephone poster it could all be run under lines underground okay and it’s safer not new I just don’t understand why it takes so long hey you don’t worry people get killed a year a decade by hitting telephone post a lot so you understand that where were you see the new street lights aside everybody come up on him down right to them that we eat

25:42

street lights I got that but I like the way we were doing things now we’re using hanbin current current current in them in that we use a sodium based gas inside of you get 18 times the brightness on 75 percent less wattage I mean I don’t think we can beat that okay basically LEDs um you look at that so I keep going to end and the next show I hope we’re going to put out and I want to pull up when i get back from Kona I’ve got a business operation going over there that we’re going to be looking at Jason

26:10

you’ll get together again and I’m going to be more scripted on this I’m gonna dress nicer for you I just wanted you to come on over to my house is fine well I have my new I have my new signs here if I saw everybody I mean you’ve seen something wrong but I got the good old loving haha you know just straight up work i got i think the 100 of these they’re going on different signs and all my other ones that we’re converting as much as we can from the the electorate metcap org all on the top and the oldest

26:43

27:08

two or three of them in the emanage my director and producer running because I think it’s essential that you understand and we split these hairs on making a difference here I will make a difference and when you see this three reasons that I have to vote for me there’s also three reasons where the ABCD why not to vote for Don couch and then I also put one of them maybe 31 would be your idea because you get this idea by calling me an 808 you four horsemen and 18 or getting hold me as lecturing that Capcom or pour
