Podcasts about not sure

Not Sure??? This is a mystery to me.

This week we abstain from all substances to interrogate the Cleveland Straight Edge in the form of NAMES FOR GRAVES, a very tough to research band who brought a li'l poetry to their stance against party poisons and sellouts. Will you mosh? NOT SURE!

Today on the show, Marco Lowe, Professor at Seattle University's Institute for Public Service, joins Crystal to discuss recent polls that have come out about Seattle's mayoral, city council, and city attorney races, the importance of understanding poll methodology and margin of error, and the historic and tragic impact of Seattle's recent heatwave and our governments responsibility to act to protect people from the impacts of climate change.  Key takeaways: Seattle's population has changed so much in the past 10 years that incumbents can't run just on their past popularity - a lot of folks who live here now won't remember it. Polls are just a snapshot in time, and it's important to contextualize them.  Climate change is here, and there is no more neutral ground. All policy and legislation needs to be evaluated through the lens of helping or hurting the environment.

I'm Crystal Fincher and I'm a political consultant and your host. On this show, we talk with policy wonks and political hacks to gather insight into local politics and policy in Washington State through the lens of those doing the work with behind-the-scenes perspectives on what's happening, why it's happening and what you can do about it. Full transcripts and resources referenced in the show are always available at officialhacksandwonks.com and in our episode notes. Today, we're continuing our Friday almost-live shows, where we review the news of the week with a cohost. Welcome back to the program friend of the show and today's co-host: professor at Seattle University's Institute for Public Service, Marco Lowe. Marco Lowe: [00:00:52] Thank you for having me. Always love being here. Crystal Fincher: [00:00:54] Always love having you here. Always very insightful. I thought we would get started talking about polling that was released in the past week about Seattle races, including the Mayor's race, City Attorney's race, the City Council races - the Northwest Progressive Institute actually sponsored a whole slew of public polling - some of the only public polling that we've seen regarding these races this cycle. We've heard a lot about internal polls at various points from different campaigns, but this was really interesting. So, I guess, starting with the Mayor's race, what did you glean from these polls? Marco Lowe: [00:01:39] I think that they're reflecting what we've seen some of the campaigns release quietly, maybe through back channel communication. That it looks like, currently - and again, Not Sure is the winning candidate in most of these races - but Bruce Harrell seems to have coalesced a good group behind him that gives him a very good chance of getting into the general. And then Council President Lorena González is probably in that second spot behind him. But what I think we've been watching is the jockeying with Colleen Echohawk and Jessyn Farrell that are trying to jump into that second spot as the weigh-in days of the campaign commence. Crystal Fincher: [00:02:17] Yeah, absolutely. And so, just for the percentages that were in this poll that has a 4.3% margin of error and a 95% confidence interval. Not Sure, Undecided at 54% - more than half of the people there. So to your point, Undecided is the winner here and really how they break will be how this race breaks, it looks like. Bruce Harrell at 15%, Lorena González at 8%, Colleen Echohawk at 6%, Jessyn Farrell 4%, Andrew Grant Houston 3%, Arthur Langlie 3%, Casey Sixkiller 2%. Lance Randall 2%, and everyone else has not broken 1%. The rest are at 0%. So really what that says is even though, technically, Bruce Harrell is - looks to be leading in this poll for people who've made a choice - one, more than half of the people who are still Not Sure. And it really is still a race for second place, if not first. It's certainly still a race for second place, and by no means decided. Marco Lowe: [00:03:27] I agree. And just to say that sometimes there's a tactic that you think you're going to push all the Undecided into the current levels and that's not often true. If people aren't deeply engaged in a race - when they enter and get educated, it doesn't follow that pattern. They will find other candidates. So I would agree with you entirely. This is an open race. Crystal Fincher: [00:03:48] Yeah, absolutely an open race. And there usually are a percentage of Undecideds who, unfortunately, end up not voting. Also, sometimes they just do not end up feeling strongly about any candidate and don't wind up pulling the trigger at all. But certainly, even with that percentage accounted for, this race is still wide open. But I think a number of the candidates certainly view the two front runners in the poll as front runners. And you see a number of candidates taking aim at the leader in their lane. And we've talked about lanes on this before - who is the more progressive candidate in the race who are aiming for that lane. Who is - again, I always talk about conservative in Seattle does not equate to a conservative in other areas - but Seattle's version of a conservative or a moderate Democrat, certainly, Bruce Harrell in that lane and people looking at that. And so, you have people like Colleen Echohawk, really seeming to take the fight directly to Lorena González, which led to another quasi poll released that we saw this week, that came from Bill Broadhead and people affiliated, it appeared with the Colleen Echohawk camp. But who released a portion of a poll, which upfront means that we need to take it with a grain of salt, because we don't see the methodology. I mean, there are best practices around how to release polling, so other people can, basically, check your work and verify that this is a legitimate poll - polling is an actual science. And we didn't get all of the information from this poll that purportedly shows that Colleen Echohawk performs better head-to-head against Bruce Harrell than Lorena González. And they certainly were pressing that point very hard online, but, unfortunately, the actual poll information that they released was scant. How did you view that? Marco Lowe: [00:06:06] It was an interesting release, because they did not, as far as I can tell, formally release it from the campaign. I saw it on Facebook from Bill Broadhead. And I think the way that you normally see these laid out, it looks a little different. Not bizarre, but just it was a little more informal, might be the right word. And I don't know exactly what they were trying to do, but there is potentially this effort to show that she could possibly win in a head-to-head. And that, again, we're trying to see her move into second place. So, I think this may have been more an insider game to show to donors or larger groups, versus a wider - because you see campaigns release these with press releases and press conferences and framing for the race. And this seemed to be a much more subtle effort. Crystal Fincher: [00:06:53] Yeah. I agree with that. And certainly, this brings to mind conversations - I've had a number of these conversations in real life with people - but polls as marketing versus polls as actual research. And this certainly seemed to be on the side of a marketing effort. Now I say that, and I certainly would not be surprised at all, to see that Colleen Echohawk polled more favorably against Bruce Harrell than Lorena González. I actually don't think that's a wild and ridiculous outcome if it were to happen. That could be the case. It's just making that conclusion from the data that we've seen publicly seems to be a stretch. Especially given as I read it - the bios as they were constructed in this are not consistent with the bios that people have heard to date. Now this can certainly have been message testing and "Hey, this is how we will message him and paint him if we do get through the primary. And so we can create these conditions." Maybe that's part of the conversation. And to your point, maybe part of that insider conversation, but we just haven't seen this information publicly. So, and given just the platform that it appears that the poll was done on, based on the watermarking, is one for corporate market research, commercial market research, not necessarily public opinion polling. So there are challenges there. That doesn't mean that the result is wrong, but it does mean that it's hard to accept that conclusion based on the information that we see here. And clearly the campaign was comfortable just releasing this information. So, I mean, I assume it's accomplishing their objectives, especially with some of the coverage of it that I've seen is certainly advancing this narrative. But it'll be interesting to see how this continues to play out over the final weeks of the campaign. Marco Lowe: [00:09:02] And it's worth saying - even just putting this poll aside, head-to-heads are tough until you're really in a race. And if you're in the last month of a presidential race, where there's been so many TV stories and everything about it, that's one discussion. But I remember in the second round for Dino Rossi and Governor Gregoire, he was polling very well into the spring against her. And one of her campaign folks, when I called them asking about it, they said, "Let's get them both in the ring and then let's see what happens. This is all just subjective data at this point." And so, it does just always with every poll - put it in its place in time. Crystal Fincher: [00:09:35] Yeah, absolutely. And it is worth reiterating that polls are in fact, just a snapshot in time. These polls are a snapshot of what people thought when they were fielded - which for the NPI poll was week before last or going into early last week, and it finished in the field early last week. So that certainly is before a lot of voter communication has happened, it's before a lot of the messaging from campaigns that are happening in these final weeks and campaigns making their closing arguments for this primary have happened. And that's going to impact how a lot of people wind up making a decision for this, in addition to a lot of endorsements that have come out and people seeing organizations that they like or trust, or dislike or distrust - see who they wind up supporting. So, certainly not conclusive. It would not be a shock if the results don't wind up lining up with these polls, because there's a lot that can change. And again, it's worth noting that the more than half of the people, the biggest vote getter were people who were Undecided. So, anything can happen. We're still in a wide open situation. Speaking of wide open situations, though - one race that really caught my eye in this polling that I think has to be causing some consternation for the incumbent is the polling in the Seattle City Attorney race. That race is extremely close in this poll with - again, 53% of people not sure who they're going to vote for, but Pete Holmes coming with 16%, which as a three term incumbent, not the number that you are aiming for. I mean, either he has not made an impact, has not been notable, or people have not noticed the work that he's done, or they're just unhappy with it. Either way, a tenured incumbent is never going to be happy with a number like 16%. Marco Lowe: [00:11:46] As a creature of City Hall, I will defend City Attorney. If you stopped cars on Fourth Ave in downtown and rolled down the window and put a mic in and said, "Who's the Seattle City Attorney?" I think you'd be lucky to get 16% to name any - maybe going back to Mark Sidran in the 90s and early 2000s, you had somebody who was on the press a lot. But Tom Carr, in the middle, lost to Pete Holmes - I think by his second re-election in '09. And I do agree with these numbers. I don't think anybody on Mr. Holmes' teams are saying this is a good news, but it's a challenging place to be. But that knee-jerk reaction aside - yeah. I agree with you. Going into a primary with these numbers and having three people so close together - you made a great point that with three - we were talking prior to the show. They can pitch somebody out really easily and it raises the bar for what he needs to get to now to close. I think that may be the first race I look at it on election night when the numbers drop. Crystal Fincher: [00:12:44] Yeah, same here. And so Pete Holmes is at 16%, Nicole Thomas-Kennedy at 14%, and Ann Davison at 14% also. So a race within the margin of error. The interesting thing about Pete Holmes is he used to be well-known. When he first came onto the scene, it was with a lot of pomp and fanfare - and he had looked at doing what, at that time, were some progressive things. Certainly, working with the nightlife community - there were a number of issues that were important to people involved in nightlife - owners of bars and cultural establishments, arts establishments, who definitely preferred him over his incumbent. And being willing to decriminalize, at that point in time, pre-legalization of marijuana, that they were going to de-emphasize prosecuting marijuana crimes. And they were on the front end of doing that. So when he came in, it was with progressive fanfare. But I think that, one, what we've seen from him in the preceding years was a lot less vocal, a lot less upfront, and he has been in the background. And a lot of the conversations where previously he has been in the foreground with, he was also well known for having some disagreements with Mayor McGinn at the time when that came in. But also - yes, there's been a lot of population change since he first came in. So there are just a lot of people in the City who never experienced that Pete Holmes, and never experienced what he hung his hat on. And so he's just a name that's part of this unpopular administration. And so looking at these numbers for his opponents, and especially given that The Times has endorsed Ann Davison, his opponent to the right. And The Stranger has endorsed Nicole Thomas-Kennedy, his opponent to the left. So, I would not call his position comfortable. And he certainly has to campaign and deliver a message to the people in order to get through this primary. Marco Lowe: [00:15:03] No, absolutely. And it is a low turnout - those endorsements matter a heck of a lot more right now. And it's interesting - boy, that point on population growth - we've added 30,000 people since '14. That's an incredibly good point. And he may be - you could almost look at his campaign like he is a new entrant into the race and we have three first-timers. That's a really interesting way to look at it. Especially when you're in an office that just isn't watched. I mean, there hasn't been high profile cases, they work a lot behind closed doors as attorneys do. Boy, when I'm hitting refresh on Tuesday night, it's going to be looking at that race. Crystal Fincher: [00:15:43] That's going to be one of the first races that I'm looking at. And who knows how that's going to end up? One and two could be anyone in that race. It could include Pete Holmes, it could not include Pete Holmes. Just really interesting. And the polling shows that it's completely up in the air. So, that's interesting. The other race that we saw some notable polling in was in the City Council race, with Brianna Thomas, Nikkita Oliver, and Sara Nelson - where Nikkita seems to be in a comfortable position in the lead. I'm actually pulling up this polling to get the exact numbers as we speak. Marco Lowe: [00:16:33] 26% was- Crystal Fincher: [00:16:36] Yeah. And so look, especially comparing this with the numbers in the other races - I mean, we're looking at Pete Holmes at 14%, Bruce Harrell at 15%. Seeing Nikkita Oliver at 26% - that's a big number. It's a big number, especially compared to a number of the other numbers. Certainly helps that Nikkita had been on a citywide ballot before - with this has Sara Nelson at 11%, Brianna Thomas at 6%. Again, Undecided - still 50%. So, again, when you're looking at this, it certainly is a race for number two, it appears, that could go any way. And with 50% of people Undecided and looking at Seattle ballot return - Seattle was trending a few percentage points behind the full King County number, which in my opinion, Seattle usually - well, I guess the fact that Seattle usually ends up with higher turnout numbers, but I feel like they may be lagging behind a little bit, because there are some tough choices for Seattle residents to make that aren't as tough in other cities, and in terms of City Council and mayoral races. So it just may take people a little longer to decide, but I anticipate that we'll see a Seattle number probably higher than the overall King County number. But this is going to be another interesting race to watch. And seeing Brianna Thomas and Sara Nelson - seeing how they both make their final statements. Sara Nelson ended up with The Times endorsement, Nikkita Oliver got The Stranger endorsement. Just saw today, PubliCola endorsed Brianna Thomas in the race. So we will see how this finishes out. But again, another one of those races that is not sold and that has a big Undecided number. Marco Lowe: [00:18:36] And you're seeing it's an open seat - when Nikkita Oliver, when they ran last time - if somebody agreed with them or not, oh my gosh, they were amazing. That King 5 debate - they owned the stage on numerous answers. And so, we have that name ID for them. Sara Nelson did not get through the primary last time. This is Brianna Thomas's first race. 26%, I mean, that's- Crystal Fincher: [00:19:06] Second race actually. Marco Lowe: [00:19:07] Second race. Oh, I apologize - so second race. So yeah, they're in a real strong position. And then you get to the general and it kind of resets, but I agree with you. Compared to the Mayor's race, it'd be hard to see them not going to the general. City-wide race to city-wide race, this is how people get into elected office. Crystal Fincher: [00:19:30] Yeah. I would agree. It is - this more than any other situation, that's hard not to see Nikkita getting through to the general. This seems like it would be the least likely to wind up in a surprise for the person in the lead in this poll to not make it through. But I do think that it's - we're up in the air for number two. Certainly a Times endorsement - countywide, a Times endorsement is a big deal. This could be something that really helps, or actually hurts - in terms of a Seattle race. But I also think an interesting dynamic there, because the voters who that would probably hurt most with are probably leaning towards Nikkita. But there is a lot to be talked about just in terms of people's records, whether they've been honest and forthcoming about those records. And I think that there may be more to come about that in the race. We will see. Marco Lowe: [00:20:39] Agreed. And also, you see this if Seattle breaks into, I call it, the outer ring and the inner ring. And the outer ring, homes with a view, tend to be the more conservative Seattle Times voters. And the inner ring tends to be the more progressive candidates. And you see the progressive candidates win when they push out the ring and the conservative candidates win when they compress the ring. And that's where I think you're going to see if Sara Nelson can attract the outer ring voters or not. Crystal Fincher: [00:21:07] Absolutely. And we will put in the show notes a review or links to different organizations and the endorsements that they've made. I know, certainly, it helps me sometimes to read through how other organizations are making their decisions, if I'm undecided about something. And I certainly have spoken to a lot of Seattle voters who still don't know which way they're voting in a number of races. So, this is still a critical time for making the case and people are still trying to decide. There's still a lot of communication that campaigns have to do. And that's also still making a difference. So the race is still shaping up. Marco Lowe: [00:21:49] If I can throw in one quick thing too - for all the races in Seattle, I think these three candidates have done an excellent job of articulating what they want to see in the City. This is as issue-based race as I've seen in a long time and I appreciate it. There's a lot of, "Here's what I'd like to do." And I just really appreciate that. A lot of races tend to say, "Look over here, look over there, but not right at what I'm trying to do." That is not the case. All the mail has been very specific. Crystal Fincher: [00:22:21] Yeah. Which I appreciate and I think is actually necessary at this point in time - not just that someone has a vision, and we've heard lots about people's visions. Or even that they're supported by, "I've got a ton of endorsements." Lots of candidates can tout that, but what do you actually plan to do with your power and authority and your jurisdiction? What are your plans? Not what we can do regionally, not what we need partners to do, or what we can study and learn more about doing, but what are your actual plans? What action will you take? I really do hope voters take a look at what candidates have said on that. And to your point, in that City Council race, there certainly is a lot that have been talked about for what the candidates actually plan to do, the action that they plan to take. And I hope they look at the mayoral race through that lens to say, "Okay. It's one thing to say, 'Yes, I believe in equity and treating people well, and we can have a better Seattle tomorrow,' but what have they committed to doing? What are our concrete steps and concrete actions beyond 'A lot of people support me?'" Marco Lowe: [00:23:42] And I give a little bit of credit to Nikkita Oliver on that. Anytime they're on stage, they are ticking off boxes. And even on Twitter, they said with a retirement of Seattle police officers, this money should be going to these kind of community groups. And again, this is a constant statement of what they would do in office. So, just - you kind of set the example - and the other candidates, it's hard to be on stage if you're not doing that as well. Crystal Fincher: [00:24:13] Very hard to be on stage if you're not doing that. I mean, just drawing on - we had conversations with all three of those candidates on Hacks & Wonks, and I heard a lot of information in detail and frankly, leading by example, from Nikkita Oliver, Brianna Thomas. Heard a lot of" I don't know"s from Sara Nelson and "We'll have to study that and figure that out." it's also interesting to see how campaign candidate rhetoric evolves throughout the campaign. So, a little bit more polished, but I certainly think that it is more natural for some candidates to be more action and ownership focused than others. And I think that's really important, especially at a time like this, when so much needs to be done to get us on the right track. Marco Lowe: [00:25:09] Sometimes just where they are in the race too. They're kind of - I mean, where I've started with some candidates early on at positions and later they may get better, but I agree, that's going to be a really interesting race. Crystal Fincher: [00:25:23] Going to be a really interesting race. So, we've covered races. Another thing that I wanted to talk about this week is it's taken a little bit for the state to compile all the numbers on what the impact of the historic heat wave that happened as a result of climate change was, but 112 deaths is the current toll. Throughout the entire Northwest - hospitalizations up over 60x. Not 60%, but 60x higher than what they normally are. So, the toll that the heat took on our communities was huge and devastating. It was the most lethal weather event that Washington State has ever had. And by all accounts, more extreme heat is something that we have to be expecting, because of climate change over the coming years. So this is something that our state and local governments have to prepare for. And frankly, it seemed like a lot of them were caught flat footed with, "Oh, heat coming. Oh, it's just another heat wave." We have some of these occasionally, but especially with the amount of folks that we have who are unhoused, who are vulnerable with a low percentage of air conditioning in homes and apartments now. This - you could see it coming - was a major threat to people's health and wellbeing. And it just seemed like a lot of governments were viewing this as something that was happening, that they didn't have to prepare for, that they weren't responsible for. And I think that we have to have a massive shift in attitude that, "Hey, this is something that is predictable - the consequences, the deaths, and the casualties are preventable. And we actually have a responsibility to prevent it." How did you see that play out? Marco Lowe: [00:27:30] I agree. A lot of local governments looked very flat-footed and we saw this temperature coming over a week away. And that's just irresponsible to not have both cooling centers, and how you get people there. The humans that are most vulnerable to this heat, whose bodies can't cool themselves. And at 105°, nobody's cooling themselves. Crystal Fincher: [00:27:47] No one. Marco Lowe: [00:27:49] But the most vulnerable aren't often driving. We have a whole issue with seniors in America that are somewhat stranded. Whether they can't drive, they live in a non-walkable community, what have you. So it's not just that you open the centers, but you get people in the center. And you staff them and people may be sleeping in those centers, because the night did not get better. So we have this immediate tactical response that we need to have better going forward, because we're not done. 2021 has been a B-roll for a disaster film - Texas mold, China and New York rain, Northwest heat, the fires in Oregon, in Washington, California, and the smoke that's gone all the way to New York City. We are in climate change, people are dying, and we have to react now. The other thing I'll throw in is that we are watching a fight in Washington, D.C., over an infrastructure bill that has in it more money towards renewable energy, so we can decarbonize this world. And America has to be a leader on it, because we are most of the carbon. So, to have both this tactical response and strategic response is essential and immediate and there's not a this or that. It is all of the above. Crystal Fincher: [00:28:53] It is all of the above. And I forget who it was on Twitter, but someone very astutely tweeted like really there is no neutral action on climate change. Every piece of legislation that every City Council person advocates for, passes, mayor legislator, there is no neutrality on climate change, on pollution. We have to examine every piece of legislation and say, is it hurting or is it helping? And to that point, we have a transportation package coming up in our State Legislature, where this has been a big point of conversation and contention - in that, are we going to continue to push for highway expansion and building and road expansion, which is the number one source of pollution. Over 40% of greenhouse gas emissions and a lot of air pollution is directly attributable to the transportation sector. So, are we going to continue and move in that direction? Are we going to start to move in the other direction? And to your point, climate change is here. We are dealing with it. And we also talked about, before the show - a point you made, which is very true - a lot of people have been pushed out of the city, because of affordability, into suburbs. A lot of our most vulnerable people now live in suburbs. And what people always hear talk about the "inner city," which is really a relic of the past, especially here on the West Coast. And that extreme poverty and some of that hardship is now in suburbs, who do not have the human services infrastructure that was built and developed in cities. And so, access to transit, access to assistance and help, just the visibility and prioritization of human services and health, in a lot of these suburbs and rural areas just does not exist. And it's not something that they've even factored in before and thinking in conversation. So, we're so behind. And so, experiencing these lethal challenges with some governments who just up to now aren't up to the task, we just need a rapid redeployment of resources, a rapid getting electeds up to speed, and demand from people in every city that you're in, that this is an essential service of government. Fundamentally, they're there to protect their residents and to keep them from foreseeable harm. And this is a threat that we know exists. It's so interesting seeing how heat and climate related disasters are covered in comparison to a lot of other things. Because there's this tendency for media to just cover it as an extreme weather event, disconnected from anything else, and like, wow, that was wild. Who could have predicted that? Or that was a once in 100 year event. We've seen these once in 100 year events, several times a year, all over the place. This is what climate change is. We have a responsibility to prevent it from getting worse. And man, we're already in for it getting worse and more just trying to prevent Earth from being uninhabitable for a majority of its people and for mitigating those impacts. So, we have to take action. I've certainly been vocal about this and the responsibility that local governments have to their residents to protect them. And that deaths and injuries that result are really a matter of negligence at this point, because we know what these consequences are. And either we choose to act and protect people or ignore the risk, and people should be held to account for that. Marco Lowe: [00:32:53] And if U.S. and, frankly, human history teaches us anything, when a crisis hits the wealthy will be taken care of. I mean, I have to - in my head, Exxon has a Dr. Evil lair some place, where they know they're going to be okay. I know that sounds crazy, but they know the data better than we do. They've been looking at it for 40 years and continued on their path. So if they're comfortable, it's not that they don't see the change, it's that they don't worry that it's going to impact them. And that has to be part of it. I will also just really - you said something that's worth putting a light back on. Legislation all needs a lens - is this making it better or worse? There is no middle land. I just think that's a really, really great idea. Crystal Fincher: [00:33:35] Well, thank you so much - we are at this time - certainly, issues that we both feel very passionately about.

A Swing and a BIG Miss I'm Not Sure it was a Malicious Lie But it sure was Bad Research This Guy is HORRIBLE at Math, Or Just Stupid BOOGIE MAN CHANNEL This amazing video is proudly presented by our sponsor || SIZZLE CITY || Strings of Bling and Other Shiny Things || Call or Click Today || www.SizzleCity.com || 626.274.6028 || Hot Products / Sizzling Prices || I had to make this video, it's been eating me alive for two weeks now ever since we showed that video on our channel. There was one thing in particular EWAR said in the video called "The Moon is a Reflection of Earth." What he said was this, "The dark areas of the Moon line up perfectly with the southern hemisphere of Earth." EWAR continues to say that half of the dark areas of the Moon don't line up with continents and bodies in the southern hemisphere because they match up with a continent or two in an area of Earth never seen before by Humans. The Moon is NOT a Reflection of Earth..... Sorry Charlie.... NO WAY JOSE CLICK HERE IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO WATCH THE VIDEO VERSION INSTEAD So let me sum that up for you. In one sentence he said the dark areas of the Moon DON'T line up with the southern hemisphere of the Earth so I truly have nothing to go off of, no leg to stand on. In a nutshell, EWAR made up a huge lie and blew a ton of smoke up the asses of anyone that will listen. I'm not that guy and no smoke is going up my ass. I'm not attacking EWAR but I don't believe for a second he's EVER looked through a telescope, a good camera with a solid lens or even a pair of binoculars or he would know right away that there's NOTHING reflective AT ALL on the moon. I"m not sure if EWAR lied maliciously or if he's just dumb. But there is NOTHING truthful in that statement. Unfortunately that wasn't the only non-truthful statement he made in the video but I"m not here to bash him or his theory. He worked EXTREMELY hard on the production of the that movie. The premise was well thought out, the visuals were amazing but unfortunately NOTHING was accurate or truthful. This video is designed to let everyone know I'm seperating myself, my channel and my thoughts, theories and ideas AWAY from this ludacris hypothesis. I've done far too much work, research, studying and uncovering of our beloved Moon for me to just throw all of that away from something like this. The official story is EWAR got his channel taken down - I beg to differ. He didn't get it taken down. This guy could ONLY be an agent for disinformation campaigns. These are the kind of thoughts, theories and ideas that are put out into the mainstream so that folks like us eat it up without doing our due diligence. Next thing you know, we repeat it like mindless drones. Then sooner or later we manifest this crap into reality. No way, no how! This is total poo poo on  stick and there's no way I'm taking a lick. You can have my helping if you like. That's one pill I'm definitely NOT going to chew or swallow. F($*# THAT! So that's my thoughts, take it or leave it. ************************************************************************** WHAT'S NEXT? ************************************************************************** Join us on the website: www.4TheWoke.com The Blog: https://www.4thewoke.com/blog/.

Good morning, RVA! It’s 43 °F, and today you can expect highs near 70 °F. Rain potentially moves in tomorrow, alongside cooler temperatures, so today may be the best bike-ride day until the weekend. Something to consider!Water coolerAs of this morning, the Virginia Department of Health reports 1,143 new positive cases of the coronavirus in the Commonwealthand 21 new deaths as a result of the virus. VDH reports 157 new cases in and around Richmond (Chesterfield: 39, Henrico: 86, and Richmond: 32). Since this pandemic began, 1,205 people have died in the Richmond region. The Washington Post reports that I’m not the only one concerned about a springtime coronapeak: “President Biden and top health officials on Monday urged an impatient public to remain vigilant against the coronavirus, as daily case counts continued to rise, younger people replaced seniors in some U.S. hospitals, and the United States moved beyond the milestone of 30 million cases since the outbreak began.” The director of the CDC said she has a feeling of “impending doom,” which, yikes. To me this means, don’t get lazy, wear your masks, keep your distance, work form home if you can, and take the first vaccine offered to you.Over in vaccine world, in the same press conference which you can just watch directly here, Biden also announced that 90% of Americans will be eligible for vaccination within the next three weeks. To quote, “For the vast, vast majority of adults, you won’t have to wait until May 1. You’ll be eligible for your shot on April 19.” That’s pretty dang soon, y’all. If you’re not eligible for an appointment yet, just sit tight and you will be. You will be.Casino updates! In her district news letter, Councilmember Kristen Larson came out against the Forest Hill casino site, saying “While the reasons for opposition are wide ranging, access and traffic impacts for that parcel are a huge issue for the district. I have not received any reassurances on these issues in my discussions with Bally’s leadership team or the city administration…For these reasons and more, I cannot support this proposal for Bally’s Richmond Casino Resort in the Forest Hill/Chippenham/Powhite area.” So we’ve got the 4th District councilmember against the 4th District casino site, the 2nd District councilmember against the 2nd District casino site, and I don’t think we’ve heard much from the 8th District councilmember either way. Meanwhile, these disgusting signs advocating against the 2nd District site have popped up (either on Twitter or in the Real World, I can’t tell). The signs warn of “More traffic. Higher crime. Lower quality of life for us.” and then end with “Tell them to build it over there.” It’s pretty clear who this sign’s creator includes in “us” and where they think is “over there.” And then, last night, I got this text, which shares a lot of language with the disgusting flyer: “Hi, this is Jenny. As you may know there is a proposal before the Richmond City Council to build a resort casino on Arthur Ashe Boulevard where the Bowtie Cinema currently sits. Would you support such a proposal that would increase crime, add traffic to our community roads, and lower our quality of life? Please respond YES if you support, NO if you oppose, or NOT SURE.” So it seems like some residents or businesses (or some other group motivated to see the Movieland site fail

Kung Fu Cowboy starts the podcast being harassed by “A Cat Named Bear.” Bear seems to enjoy interrupting KFC when he’s in the VoiceOver recording studio of Shaolin Records. This walk-in closet is where Richard Del Connor has been producing audiobooks this past year. Kung Fu Cowboy gives in to Bear, picks him up and he starts purring. So Kung Fu Cowboy puts him on his shoulders and takes a picture in the closet recording studio himself and Bear before taking him into the kitchen for a late night snack. (After 10pm). Kung Fu Cowboy talks about his Catholic upbringing and parents who refuse to talk about his artistic career in any manner. Neither of his parents have ever read his books, listened to his albums or music, or encouraged him to be an artist… ever. They still don’t. “I was born into the wrong family,” laments our senior cowboy. Kung Fu Cowboy begins reading his book, Supersoul 13 by Buddha Z, (another alias or pen name he uses). Kung Fu Cowboy reads the “Table Of Contents” which contains very interesting topics that KFC says he’s looking forward to learning about. Using an outline of the podcast, KFC is surprised to see the chosen song for today’s podcast is, “I’m Certain I’m Not Sure,” from the American Zen album, LEVEL 4 = Kung Fu Cowboy PART 2: 3rd Degree Master Mason. This album has yet to be released although it was recorded at the same time LEVEL 4 = Kung Fu Cowboy PART 1: King Solomon’s Temple was recorded. These two albums comprise the 36-song album that was split in two, because this was too much music to fit onto a CD disk. Kung Fu Cowboy PART 2: 3rd Degree Master Mason album is almost complete. It needs some flute solos and perhaps a little percussion. The vocals are all cut. Shaolin Records has hoped to release this album since 2012... Supersoul 13 - Discovering the Soul of God by Buddha Z is available as a KINDLE book from Amazon.com https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IRRF12U OR: a PDF book directly from the publisher, Shaolin Communications at: https://www.shaolincom.com/Products-S/Book-Supersoul13.html The song, “I’m Certain I’m Not Sure” is from the album LEVEL 4 = Kung Fu Cowboy PART 2: 3rd Degree Master Mason https://www.shaolinrecords.com/RecordStore-R/americanZenLevel4-P2-R.html American Zen Official website: https://www.AmericanZen.org American Zen FACEBOOK page: https://www.Facebook.com/americanzenband Kung Fu Cowboy FACEBOOK page: https://www.facebook.com/kungfucowboy1 A Cat Named Bear FACEBOOK page: https://www.facebook.com/acatnamedbear1/ Kung Fu Cowboy WEBSITE: https://www.KungFuCowboy.com Produced by Richard Del Connor for Shaolin Records. https://www.ShaolinRecords.com Copyright 1984-2021 Shaolin Communications https://www.ShaolinCOM.com Music used by permission of Shaolin Records and licensed by Shaolin Music.

Today we interviewed Cassandra Garcia... makeup artist to THE STARS... and us! Cassandra did our makeup for the NYC live show but she's also the in-house makeup artist for Bobbi Brown AND she does makeup for the cast of SNL. (+ other celebs!!) We gathered ALL your makeup questions for her and put her to the test. You may want to grab a notebook for this one as it gets pretty technical - in the best possible way.

As a matter of fact, the revelation to you is so BIG, you are questioning as to whether it is really G-d. You also are concerned as to what others . . . even believers in Messiah . . . will think of you if you obey. If you want to be greatly used by G-d, you will have to always . . . each time . . . be willing to take a STEP, or make a MOVE, of faith. It will NOT be walking out on a limb (of a tree) by faith and then sawing off the limb. However, it WILL be sawing the limb off first, and then walking out by faith. Noah sawed the limb off when he STARTED building the Ark. Thus did Noah; according to all that G-d commanded him, so did he. (Torah: Genesis 6:22) Notice that Noah obeyed G-d in ALL the things in which he was instructed by G-d. There is a reason G-d gives us instructions in detail. However, sometimes He may give us at first general, or nonspecific, leading; and later, when we arrive at the place for new instructions, He will be more specific. Why should God give all the plans out when we havent taken the FIRST step and started to carry out His instructions. Notice that the great leaders and deliverers which G-d used to impact and save humanity were required to do what seemed FOOLISH in the eyes of the world. Noah STARTED BY building the Ark, and he and his family were probably laughed at and scorned for 120 years. What he did probably seemed crazy in the eyes of the community. Abraham left his fathers wealth and the false gods and idols of his people to follow the True G-d that his relatives and friends could NOT see. He STARTED by heading out to a place he had never been, and didnt know where it was. It was a place that G-d said He would show Abraham.  "Now the LORD G-d said unto Abram, Get out of your country, and from your kindred, and from your father's house, unto the land that I will show you." (Torah: Genesis 12:1 ASV) Concerning WHAT has G-d been speaking to YOU? Whatever it is, you may have to be willing to accommodate the embarrassment of faith. That is, you may have to adapt to, or fit in with, self-consciousness, uncomfortableness, and uneasiness. You may have people look down upon you with pity or shame. If you dont allow yourself to walk in the Spirit, you may even feel awkward; especially if you allow yourself to objectively look at the situation in the natural. During Abrahams walk of faith, after he had STARTED, at one point G-d promised to give him a son and then descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and the sand on the sea shore.  "Who against hope (Abraham) believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken (by G-d): So shall your descendants be." (Brit Chadashah: Romans 4:18) "And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about a hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarahs womb." (Verse 19) Abraham was 100 and Sarah was 90 when Isaac was born. "He staggered not at the promise of G-d through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to G-d; and being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform." (Verse 20) WHAT HAS G-D PROMISED YOU? WHAT STEP OR MOVE HAS G-D REQUIRED OF YOU? WHAT IS THE EMBARRASSMENT OF FAITH YOU MAY PROBABLY ENCOUNTER? I have a word for you from G-d. After you START in this faith endeavor which G-d has promised to perform, you will not care what people think about you. You will be so overwhelmed with JOY and the ANOINTING of the Holy Spirit that you are oblivious to what people . . . even some followers of Messiah Yeshua . . . think or say. If G-d is going to do the work through you by HIS GRACE, it is going to have to be by YOUR FAITH. You will have to BELIEVE and START: take the action, make the move! If you really believe G-d CAN and WILL do what He has told you, then be willing to encounter the embarrassment of faith. G-d told Abraham: "I have made you a father of many nations, before whom Abraham believed, even G-d, who makes alive the dead, and calls those things which be not as though they were (already)." -- Verse 17 If you are involved in a project or endeavor where others have joined you, G-d will be good to at times give you encouragement, even FAITH LEADING, through them. Do NOT discount the advice of others who are with you in the faith project the LORD has assigned you. The only time you should NOT listen is when you definitely know what God wants you to do at that stage of the game, and other advice is conflicting. This requires you to follow your spirit, the voice of your inner man. If you do NOT KNOW it is G-d, then dont do it. I promised G-d at a particular juncture in my life and ministry that I would never do anything that I wasnt sure He wanted me to do. Study the BLOG titled, If Youre Not Sure ... Dont! Also, study these resources: “Follow Your Heart – Part 1” “Follow Your Heart – Part 2” “Follow Your Heart – Part 3” Recently I prayed for a lady to conceive. When I prayed, the power of G-d came upon me. There was NO doubt; the anointing of the Spirit was so strong upon me that I could feel it in my arms. His presence was intense. I have prayed for several barren women to conceive who conceived in 30 days. G-d knows how to fulfill His promises without our help. We just need to use our faith. Sarah, after many years of being barren suggested to Abraham that he lay with her maidservant, Hagar, and that way they could have a child. In other words, she thought they could help G-d keep His word, or promise, to Abraham! G-d doesnt need help in keeping His Word. If He promised you something, then just do what He told you: obey in faith. However, notice that about 14 years later, it was Sarahs faith that brought about her MIRACLE CONCEPTION of Isaac. "Through faith also Sarah herself received strength to conceive seed (at the age of 90), and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised. Therefore sprang there even of one, and him (Abraham, age 100) as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable."  (Brit Chadashah: Hebrew 11:11-12) In Hebrews 11:11, when the scripture says, "Through faith also Sarah, herself ..." The Greek word for "herself" implies "something remarkable: that Sarah would manifest this faith." She had laughed years before at even the suggestion by Abraham of G-d's promise through a divine visitation. (Genesis 18:1-15) But now, years later, she had grown in her trust in G-d, probably through living with Abraham. Abraham was now 100 and Sarah was 90. (Genesis 17:17 and 18:11) Even though Sarah influenced Abraham to make a bad decision 14 years earlier to try to help G-d in the FLESH (Brit Chadashah: Galatians 4:23) with the subsequent birth of Ishmael, she later through FAITH was the instrument God used to bring about the PROMISE of the child Isaac! And, with the result of not only millions of descendants of Abraham, but the establishment of the seed line through which Messiah Yeshua (Jesus) would come to earth through a MIRACLE VIRGIN BIRTH 2,100 years later. Your obedience to the promise of G-d, exercised through your START - your step of faith and subsequent walk of faith - even though making you an exhibition to the world ... and the resulting EMBARRASSMENT of faith ... will result in the PROMISE of God being performed to bless YOU, your descendants, and the nations of the world. Die to the embarrassment of faith and bring resurrection LIFE to you, your family, your associates, and the world. Many will join you later and thank you for both the privilege of working with you and being under your leadership! I'm going to pray for you right now. Baruch haba b'Shem Adonai.
