What challenges do Democrats face in uniting for the upcoming election?
Hey, everybody. Welcome back to the Find Out podcast. Everyone's laughing because people were making jokes right up until we hit record. So first of all, thank you for all the comments on the video on the episode that we dropped on Tuesday with economic professor Justin Wolfers. Like the responses were just amazing and incredible. He was awesome. Thank you. And he was he was so good. And I've never seen an economist actually be able to laugh at a joke or make one of his own. So it was good. ball sacks and stuff yeah he did do that and he laughed at my Dick Cheney transition joke which I thought was pretty good and uh but anyways we have someone equally as funny and equally as smart with us today he's if you're listening he is scrunching his face but he is we have Nathan June with us today who is a I don't even know how to describe well how would you describe yourself
Content creator, marketing expert, like, you know, tax the rich guy. How would I describe myself?
You know, I would say political and economic analyst. Okay. By profession, I'm a data analyst focused in consumer insights. I'm not an economist, despite the fact that I have several economist friends who say that I could easily replace half of their staff. But I basically, you know, I position myself as somebody who enjoys researching, enjoys looking into things with great detail, enjoys fact checking things and enjoys clarifying. I think clarifying because fundamentally, I believe that a more educated voter is a better voter.
So you're trying to make everybody MAGA then, right?
I actually found I did a poll. I actually sent out a poll a couple of days ago where I asked what people's my followers, what their intended presidential candidate was if the primary was tomorrow on the on the Democratic side. And it was interesting because I actually just for shits and giggles, funny, ha ha. I included I am a never Trump or conservative. And I just included that as like one of the demographic builds. I have like 48 people who selected that. And I was like, I have Republican followers. Wow. I was like, wow, that's cool. Yeah.
I mean, I mean, they like to, you know, they like data.
So you are an influencer. I, it's the worst term. Will not ever identify as that.
Which is funny because if you're like you look at like TED Talks, you know, they are trying to influence you. I always joke that like Walter Cronkite and like Edward R. Murrow, you could have called them influencers just like we can all call ourselves journalists because like breaking news, there's no certification or like you don't have to do anything to call yourself a journalist, as Barry Weiss has pointed out. Um, so if we want to just call ourselves journalists, like I, I used to think, you know, coming from journalism, I used to think that you, you know, you had to have a degree and you had to do hard news or have like 10 years of experience doing hard news where you're interviewing expert sources and you're publishing, like you're, you're breaking net new stories to the world.
And that was the only way to be a real journalist. And now I have like fully, um, deconstructed my entire idea of what it is that we all do um maybe just because i don't want to feel like an imposter but i think you know what's interesting though and analysts like they've always been called journalists so why aren't we nobody has ever like i've never been called out because i don't position myself as a journalist the funniest thing though is that
I wrote for, I actually was a senior staff writer for the Central Florida Future, which was a regional newspaper in East Orlando. I actually was part of the staff that won a college pacemaker award, which was like the college Pulitzers. So I always sit there and I'm like, I'm not a journalist, but I think out of a lot of creators, I actually do have a background in journalism where I was writing feature articles. I literally wrote an article uncovering the fact that professors were angry at the University of Central Florida, which, by the way, is the largest public college in the country at 68,000, I think, undergrads right now.
