Rebel News publisher Ezra Levant and videographer Lincoln Jay recently travelled to the town of Lahaina in Maui, Hawaii to shine a light on the aftermath of the devastating wildfire in 2023 and the government's response.

The shocking scenes uncovered by Levant and Jay show destroyed buildings and residents forced to live in campers beside the wreckage of the blaze.

Locals appear to be largely left to fend for themselves after the wildfire destroyed over 2200 homes and other buildings in the area.

Levant pointed out that for every home that appears to be under construction, there's about 10 empty lots covered over by gravel.

The Rebel News publisher also revealed that tiny homes are being constructed by the government to house people who were displaced by the wildfire.

"Who would want to live here? It really seems like some sort of internment camp," Levant said of the miniature homes.

Several local residents expressed to Levant that the government is making it increasingly difficult to re-build homes and allow people to return to normalcy.

Levant emphasized how significant government inaction and politicized priorities appear to have contributed to the devastating situation in Lahaina.

"I heard it's hard to get a permit," said one man. "The state makes it difficult for the people to rebuild. There's a lot of regulations and a lot of permits you gotta go through, I think it makes it more tough on the people. It's sad," he said.

Please help us get to the bottom of what is truly causing these wildfires!

The media won’t tell you the full story about the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles and how President Trump forced local authorities to act while Democrat bureaucrats stalled. That’s why Ezra Levant and Lincoln Jay went there themselves — to investigate, to expose the truth, and to show you what really happened. While officials initially planned to wait 18 months just to clear the debris, Trump’s intervention changed everything overnight. Rebel News will be on the ground speaking with locals, documenting the aftermath, and comparing it to Maui — where Democrat leadership has left the island in ruins. This wasn't a vacation; it’s real journalism that the mainstream media refuses to do. But we need your help to cover the costs of our economy class airfare and shared hotel room. Please chip in today so we can bring you The Truth About the Fires.
