"Little more realistic about what that means of Andrew couple mechanical questions for let you go here because obviously, whenever we do polling people say, Well, I don't trust polling or nobody called me or how can 400 people basically determine what 900,000 people think of walking through the science of what you guys did or how you did it? Yeah. So, uh, what? I don't want to get too technical because that would just bore people to death. But essentially, you know, from a statistical standpoint, what you're allowed to do is take a representative sample of a larger audience. And then from there, you're able to make inferences about that larger population. And the key is that it's a random sample. And so you're right. We didn't contact everybody. Um, Frankly, that would be sort of, uh, on, you know, first of all, from A cost standpoint, it would be expensive, but from a practical standpoint, obviously not everyone's going to answer their telephone. Not everyone is going to, uh, you know, answer a survey whether it's delivered in this instance from online or text message surveys, which is how we perform this one. And so again, we're able to get a representative sample. And so what we looked at was the overall registered voter population in Marion County. And we said Okay, for example, you know, we need to make sure that our Gen Er is about right. And so it needs to look like the overall population and so registered voters in Marion County. It's about 53% female about 47% male, and so we look to balance that out and ensure that our sample again this random sample is representative of that we need to ensure we have enough young voters enough older voters enough white enough black voters and then also from sort of a geographic area as well. And so when you look at that Statistically speaking, This is a sound practice and, um, measure of what the larger population looks like. But you know, there is a margin of error. And so that's where that 4.9% margin of error comes into play. Because statistics while great isn't perfect, But it is from a mathematical scientific perspective. Very sound waves measuring overall opinion. Something else you folks did, too. Which I thought was interesting was he did, uh The old posters where you Go pick up the phone and call call random folks are based on voter to voter data list. He did online and also text messaging. Uh, white Online. Why tax and why not just No go to go to the old random. You grab an old phone book. Remember, the phone book is and just start calling people. Yeah, well, so you know, one of the easiest ways to explain. That is cost. So, um Phone that you know, to get a live agent in Indiana. Or you do need a live operator to conduct a survey. You know, in order to make, uh you know, uh, yes. 400 Sample survey, you know, say 60,000 phone calls. Obviously, you know, you gotta pay the live operator agents to make 60,000 calls And so those costs add up, and, uh, That doesn't necessarily though, mean that it is a better product from a cheaper option, which again is serving text messages as well as online surveys. And so the reason we chose this was from a practical standpoint, it's just more cost efficient. And if you think about younger voters, actually minority voters, they actually they're easier to reach now online and via text messages anyways, you know, in 19 year old Kid probably doesn't have a landline phone. First of all, or pick up a phone call from some random number, but you know, they're sitting on a train there, sitting waiting at a friend's house who knows doing whatever they see a text message come in. They're very inclined to sit there and actually answer a survey. And so we find that the quality remains the same. But we're able to keep costs a little more efficient and Thought that pink. Um uh, recommendations coming out of sort of 2020 and pulling postmortems was a diversification of methods in how you conduct polling and the old gold standard of the live operator survey being conducted over the telephone still has its purposes. But again, it's a little more expensive. But you also you miss out on some of these voters who again don't have landlines or don't pick up their cell phones. Um you know young kids nowadays like Don't Even talk on the phone. It's all text message. It's all email that sort of thing. And so, um In order to ensure that random sample we look at various ways that we can reach out to people that are sort of outside the box and text message. Online. Surveys have been around for a couple election cycles now, but they are extremely accurate and viable way to conduct surveys that sort of reflect the changing times and societies practices and that's how it's going to ask you about the 2020 next 2016 elections as well. Because the polls are sort of kind of wrong and all over the place. How did you folks compensate for all the things we learned in the past couple election cycles? Well, so the good news is, you know, in an off year, you know people are left are more likely to answer a survey. It's really it's when you come down to the last two months. And, you know, people have had 15 surveys come through whether they're less likely to answer a survey. But, um, you know, I think what I saw in 2016 and 2020 is that Public polling and I'll talk about it in terms of public private, but the public polling that is the stuff that you saw largely, um, you know from Gallup, or, uh, you know, some of the universities are like, you know, NBC or whatever doing these national polls. You know, The problem with those national polls is that there's a lot of what I'll call sort of armchair polling critics and so they look at the methodologies and they'll go well. This is wrong, and so people are left. Apt to change and adjust based on what sort of the data is telling them and in 2016 1 of the takeaways was that You know, uneducated or I should say, uneducated, non college educated Excuse me, white voters and sort of rural areas where being up under represented, and so people wanted to see the education breaks and started to think. Well, it needs to be sort of X percentage of college educated voters. X number of non college educated voters. And people weren't able to deviate from those because these sort of pulling critics without well, that's that's not. That's not what it's going to be. That's wrong. And so people aren't able to change. I think as well as sort of the private pollsters, which look at the gate and what the data is telling them and say, Oh, well, actually, we see You know this trend happening or that trend happening? And so I think a lot of the private polling was actually pretty spot on. Um, it was more so some of the public polling where he saw some of the issues, but, um, you know, we we saw plenty of other colleagues pulling my own polling where we saw some of the data coming back. And you see things like, Oh, you know, A lot of these voters who we would never have expected as a quote unquote likely voter. Maybe they hadn't voted in the last four or five elections, all of a sudden expressing a strong interest in this election. It's Oh, well, Maybe we're going to see an increase in turnout. And so we're able to make some of those adjustments. Um, that may be a public facing, you know, sort of publicly scrutinized pole aren't necessarily able to make All right, Well, we covered a lot of ground today. Our guests the program's been Andrew Weiss, Sir Andrew is the principle of a RW strategy supporting from that We hired any politics to talk about the city of Indianapolis and to some of the big issues going in there..

Now that things have Been improved and obviously restructure with the CDC safety guidelines as it today you walk into Kroger. They'll no longer require vaccinated customers to wear face masks in their store on it does look like it least according to Fizer, And we've heard this before to prepare for a third covert vaccination on a work from 8 to 12 months from now from your A vaccination if you got one And later on in sports. We have Matt McCoy is going to be joining us some good news for I Jean Smith, how to stay the athletic director. He's been renewed his contract, four year contract extension one of my favorite goodies that he has $12,000 for his wife to travel with him. Where can we get something like that? Were? Could we get a goody like that? All right, Governor Mike DeWine. That joint is a little bit earlier and in case you missed it. We wanted an update on vaccine million. So far, we found with the governor that there's been over close to a million Ohioans that have been signed up so far. Yeah. I mean, we're taking phone calls because we want, Make sure that someone you know it's been vaccinated has the ability to get in even if they're not using the Internet, so I got a lot of phone calls coming in. I got a lot of people taking those calls. People getting signed up and you know, Health Department's not releasing than the liar is not releasing the exact number, but they they will release it. Um You know, a soon as they get assumes we're done. Which will probably this You know this this'll weekend? Um, but it's a lot of people a lot of people in which is good. It shows there's you know a lot of interest. So it got 25 million hits. The website did the first day over. 60,000 calls poured it. Isn't that crazy? So you're laughing? Here's what I want to know. Governor Mike DeWine. Where were you in? What was it that popped in your head? When you decided vaccine million. That's it. We'll give away a million dollars. Please tell us probably taking a shower. Thank you Know what else can we do? I don't know if we need to know that Governor er I'm not sure. But you know, every day. You know, we think what could we do to get more people vaccinated? You know, a lot of people have been vaccinated. Um, we know that our way out of this virus is getting more and more people vaccinated and the more we should get vaccinated. You know, the much faster we drive this virus down and look, we're doing pretty good. Our numbers. You know this number of targets that I put out there at 50 some time ago. You know, we are dropping towards that. And I think we were looking here to see exactly what we were yesterday. It was like 97 something like that. And, uh so that you know that That's good. We're drop. We're dropping that Which simply means that the vaccine 98.2. Excuse me 9.2 yesterday. But it's simply means that the vaccine is doing his job. You know, almost 43% of us now. Can't get it are very, very unlikely to get it in very, very unlikely to spread it. So when you remove that many people from the ability to spread it and you know this virus they need a host. It has to go from person to person when you start Pulling people out of that You slow the virus down. We've seen it dramatically slow in in Ohio, but way have a ways to go and we just have to keep going And you know, I'm very happy to say that it's really clear. That the excitement with the vaccine Million and the announcement You know, he's really increase their number of people who are getting vaccinated. I think every age group with the exception of 18 above, uh, you know his his gone up and we were had been You know, declining and going down, So it's really is turn that around. And if you look at the 80 and above I mean they've already 76.78% of them have already been vaccinated anyway. So, um, you know, you're you're pretty high all knows that age group anyway. Governor Mike DeWine is with us this morning on the Brandon Boxers, show officials and I think this is from Bo Th health director Stephanie Macleod Governor officials say that there have been a 53% increase in vaccinations from the time period before the lottery announcement. But did you feel like this was a point where you know it was this kind of? I don't want a last straw. But was this your only option left as far as well? We got to do this because some are saying well. Governor. Why not use that money for businesses that are still being boarded up downtown and across the state? The biggest certain we have the business, the biggest threat we have to our livelihood. The biggest threat we have to our lives is the virus and, you know, look, we still have Uh, you know, Over 800 people in the hospital. Because of this, we're still seeing people die because of this. Um so we just have to beat this down and What we were seeing. We start to see a drop about the time that the Jane J. The Johnson Johnson was taken off the market. And you know that. That didn't help matters and we were already starting to see you know, felt that we're going to start to see a drop in update and so did not have a naked. Why not? Just go hide? It really has happened nationwide. And so if we looked at this and said, you know these vaccinations, they're going down. It's waning. The number of people who are getting vaccinated. What do we do to spur this? And you know, Fran, I have been Over 40 different locations. Um, vaccinations locations around the state of Ohio and water is we go is just to talk to people who being vaccinated, try and understand..

"Native Hawaiian, who won three Olympic gold medals and swimming, says Rarick. But his dream after its first win was to get surfing in the Olympics because he won is a swimmer, but his passion was surfing. He was arguably the greatest surfer of all time, both in terms of his ability to serve and his true Aloha spirit. Michael Wilson designed the exhibition at the Bishop Museum. What Surfing is today is in a great part because Duke travel the world and shared his love of surfing with the world for the exhibition will send recreated a famous wave that Kahanamoku Road in 1916. Do Kahanamoku on a wooden board with no fins surfed a wave that was over 25 ft. Tall on its face, and he served it for over a mile and we wanted to have Audience experience that moment, So we built a 27 ft tall wave and put a replica of Duke's forward in it, and people can stand on that board and feel like they are there in the presence of this wave. Kahanamoku is known as the father of modern surfing. But Wilson says the sport began centuries earlier. It's hard to say we're surfing began. People have been writing waves for thousands of years, and in 17 77. A year before Captain Cook came to Hawaii. He was in Tahiti, and he recorded T he Shin's riding waves on canoes for pleasure, but it wasn't until he came to Hawaii, where he first recorded people onboard standing up surfing waves. Most historians think Hawaiians developed modern surfing when they arrived here 1500 years ago, John Clark was also consultant for the exhibition. He's the author of Hawaiian surfing traditions from the Past. Hawaii is the birthplace of modern surfing, because Hawaiians took it to a skill level that no one else did anywhere. One of the things they did was developed surfboards that you could stand on the modern surfing is based on standing up on a surfboard and maneuvering that surfboard on the wave. Clark says. Other early surf cultures existed off the coast of Africa, Peru and Japan. Researching Hawaiian language newspapers going back to the 18 hundreds, he discovered surfing was a national pastime in the Hawaiian islands, and it was open to all there was gender equity men and warm and surfed equally, and they served together at the same time. So if royalty was surfing that would have included men and women, Kings and queens. And when the commoners were in the water, it was exactly the same thing. Men and women boys and girls, Clark says. The museum has the greatest collection of traditional surfboards in the world, including one that belonged to a Hawaiian prince, who introduced modern surfing to California. Surfing left the islands when Prince Co Hell and his two brothers went to school in California. And in 18 85. On a summer break. They made themselves three redwood surfboards in Santa Cruz and went surfing. There They were the first ones to introduce surfing outside of Hawaii. In addition to showcasing some of the oldest surfboards known to exist. The show also features boards belonging to some of the world's top surfers, including her What use Charism or who earned a spot on the U. S Olympic surf team. Now 28 more is the reigning women's world surf champion, she says. What's helped her along the way is her outlook on life, and it's captured in a new documentary called Wrists. The whole film was centered around three concepts which was chasing your dreams. Live authentically like embrace all of who you are and to take time for others to show other people respect. Be patient, be understanding and just treat each other with more love and those of the principles. The four time world champ will take to Tokyo when she competes for the first Olympic medals and surfing later this year for NPR News. I'm Heidi Chang in Honolulu. Sir.
