Will Cain called out the authorities for their silence on the Maui fire

During the live broadcast on Fox News, Will Cain said that he is disappointed in the leadership as they did not take any action for the Maui fire and did not come forward to help. He also took a dig at President Joe Biden and said that he went days without acknowledging the wildfire. Cain further said,

"I will say this: Why are we capable of sending billions to Ukraine — And I’m not here to politicize or talk to you whether or not that’s a should or shouldn’t — I’m just saying, I know that we are sending billions to Ukraine. And the response to Maui is, ‘No comment.’ Explain that to me! This is the United States of America."

Will Cain also said that the current situation in Maui is devastating, and the phone and internet situation is massively hampered in the Hawaii region.
