The Find Out Podcast

Why We Should Still Compete in Safe Red Districts

12 Mar 2026

Transcription

Chapter 1: What surprising outcome occurred in the Georgia special election?

0.031 - 5.022 Zach

Iran had Tomahawk missiles, and it was their own Tomahawk missile that bombed that school.

0

5.042 - 9.091 Luke

Do you want to know how much Donald Trump's net worth has increased in a year?

0

9.632 - 13.5 Zach

Well, Elon's up $200 billion since the Trump presidency started.

0

23.521 - 29.929 Luke

Hey everybody, welcome back to the Find Out Podcast. We were just making jokes about 80s, what, 80s rappers?

0

Chapter 2: Why do Democrats typically avoid campaigning in safe red districts?

30.309 - 34.895 Rich

We were doing our best 80s hip hop impressions, I would say. These guys always try to throw me off. Nobody's as good as me.

0

34.915 - 45.468 Luke

They always try to throw me off when I'm like, do this like grand entrance into the podcast and trying to be a serious operation here and I just get torn down every time. But anyways, welcome back everybody.

Chapter 3: What are the benefits of competing in every district, including safe ones?

45.788 - 52.296 Luke

I'm glad you're following us after Tuesday's episode where we literally just talked about how everything Trump touches turns to shit.

0

52.276 - 75.313 Luke

and you were not uh dismayed enough to not come back so we appreciate that uh i think today will be a little bit lighter uh unfortunately uh zach is uh down with the down with the sickness that's a song from the 90s isn't it wasn't it it is uh and so you got the three of us today what's that was it disturbed yeah i think that's not not my not my favorite but i'm

0

75.293 - 81.042 Luke

But anyways, Rich wants to kick us off with a fun anecdote.

0

81.743 - 84.347 Rich

No, it's really fun. So keep it under five minutes.

Chapter 4: How can political pressure affect Republican strategies in deep-red districts?

84.667 - 102.955 Rich

No, I will not do that. No. So yesterday, my kid, my kid's in third grade and he had a animal report at school. And so my wife and I went and and listened to his presentation about parrots and learned a lot of things. It was really fun.

Chapter 5: What issues arise from the existence of safe districts in politics?

102.935 - 121.939 Rich

in the process, you know, we're sitting there, the parents in the back of the room and they stack up a bunch of kids. And so like, I think five kids presented different animals. And when you're hearing, uh, you know, eight and nine year olds talk about, and like usually exotic animals are like the, the red eyed tree frogs and like the King cobras. Um,

0

123.134 - 127.306 Rich

it's always going to be funny because they know only exactly what they learned for the report.

0

Chapter 6: What lessons can we learn from the recent Georgia race?

127.948 - 141.905 Rich

And then, and then they, and they can't, they can't ad lib. They can't go off script at all. And so we're sitting there and they get to this Q and a, like, so every kid talks for maybe like two, three minutes. And then they get to the Q&A at the end and they take questions from their class.

0

142.166 - 150.264 Rich

And that was the fun part, of course, for the adults, because like I said, the kids don't know any more than what they what they literally wrote into their report.

0

Chapter 7: How does local engagement influence voter turnout and party dynamics?

151.106 - 169.698 Rich

One of the kids actually was just reading the slides with her back to the class. It was the best thing I've ever seen. And As these kids are taking questions and the answers are just, you don't know what you're going to get. Like one kid presented on zebras and somebody said, and she said, zebras are 700 pounds.

0

Chapter 8: What strategies should Democrats consider for future elections?

170.138 - 191.387 Rich

And then the question was, is every zebra exactly 700 pounds or are some of them different weights? And she was like, I think some of them are different weights. And so that was the kind of... Smart. Good logical inference there. It took a second. And this is appropriate, right?

0

191.667 - 213.717 Rich

So it's heartwarming because these kids are just experiencing one of the worst parts of adulting, which is public speaking and then also answering questions that you didn't know were necessarily becoming. And I had the most sick sense of deja vu, though, as I was watching these. I was like, what does this feel like? And I realized it reminded me of Trump's press conferences talking about Iran.

0

217.562 - 235.71 Rich

I was wondering how you were going to connect these. I'm impressed. Because it was in it. I wasn't going there looking for an in with with the podcast, believe it or not. I was genuinely enjoying hearing about these different animals. But guessing the answers in some cases on the spot is.

0

237.192 - 250.041 Rich

That is normal for eight and nine year olds talking about animals that they literally just learned about in the last seven days. But when you hear your president up there saying, what did he say the other day? I don't know that much about it. I think it was a direct quote.

0

250.743 - 253.148 Zach

He did all of this off of a feeling. Right. That's right.

253.79 - 254.431 Rich

Reminiscence.

254.511 - 255.353 Luke

Reminiscence, wasn't it?

256.497 - 267.05 Zach

I thought they were going to attack us, so we did it first. He claimed that somehow Iran had Tomahawk missiles, and it was their own Tomahawk missile that bombed that school twice.

268.111 - 290.162 Luke

Well, and to be clear now, it does seem pretty clear at this point that the U.S. did bomb the school. As much as we tried to say it wasn't, but it got hit twice, so that's... Kind of difficult to say that two Iranian missiles failed at the exact same spot at the exact same time and landed in the exact same spot. Doesn't really, doesn't really.
