The Find Out Podcast

Why We Should Still Compete in Safe Red Districts

12 Mar 2026

Transcription

Chapter 1: What was the surprise outcome of the Georgia special election?

0.031 - 5.021 Luke

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

0

5.041 - 9.129 Unknown

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

0

9.65 - 13.517 Luke

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

0

23.538 - 29.968 Unknown

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

0

30.348 - 34.915 Tim Fullerton

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.

34.935 - 45.492 Unknown

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

45.832 - 52.262 Unknown

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

52.242 - 75.33 Unknown

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

75.31 - 81.058 Unknown

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

0

81.779 - 96.238 Tim Fullerton

No, it's really fun. So keep it under five minutes. No, I will not do that. No. So yesterday, my kid, my kids in third grade and he had a animal report at school. And so my wife and I went.

0

96.218 - 121.99 Tim Fullerton

and uh and listened to his presentation about parrots um and learned a lot of things it was really fun um 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 like the the red-eyed tree frogs and like the king cobras um

Chapter 3: What are the benefits of competing in every district for Democrats?

123.168 - 141.919 Tim Fullerton

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

142.18 - 164.203 Tim Fullerton

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. 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.

0

164.243 - 169.731 Tim Fullerton

Like one kid presented on zebras and somebody said, and she said, zebras are 700 pounds.

0

Chapter 4: How does political pressure influence Republican strategies?

170.172 - 191.421 Tim Fullerton

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

191.701 - 210.145 Tim Fullerton

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, like, sick sense of deja vu, though, as I was watching these. I was like, what does this feel like?

0

210.125 - 213.731 Tim Fullerton

And I realized it reminded me of Trump's press conferences talking about Iran.

0

Chapter 5: What are the implications of safe districts on political extremism?

217.577 - 235.727 Tim Fullerton

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

237.226 - 250.095 Tim Fullerton

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

Chapter 6: What insights can we gain from the Georgia race about voter behavior?

250.777 - 253.162 Luke

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

0

253.824 - 255.387 Tim Fullerton

Reminiscence. Reminiscence, wasn't it?

0

256.514 - 267.067 Luke

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.

0

268.128 - 280.142 Unknown

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...

0

Chapter 7: How does engaging in local politics affect national narratives?

280.122 - 288.478 Unknown

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.

0

288.577 - 317.892 Tim Fullerton

doesn't really doesn't yeah the the new york times says that has out today that a preliminary report shows that yes it was it was us and it was because we used outdated targeting data so who would have thought that the same pentagon who shot down a mylar party balloon thinking it was a cartel drone um was also using outdated targeting data well i read that we fired like a bunch of the counter-targeting people two weeks ago oh we did yeah was that a doge thing

0

317.872 - 341.719 Luke

I don't know if it was a doge thing or not. It was a dumb fuck thing to do though. And now, now we're witnessing all these fucking, you know, they evacuated the Kansas city, uh, airport of the weekend. There's the bomb, like the quote unquote bomb, a bomb threat that got diverted to Atlanta. And we're doing all of that. And we have a 23 year old in charge of, uh, counterterrorism attacks. Yeah.

0

341.799 - 344.101 Luke

Prior work experience is fucking gardening.

0

Chapter 8: What strategies can Democrats use to build long-term political power?

0

344.602 - 367.814 Unknown

That sounds like hyperbole. It's not a joke. It's not. And actually, if you look his photo up, it's literally like he looks like he's an evil character in some B action movie. It's actually ridiculous. It's fucking ridiculous. The hair is like... He's got one eyebrow raised. By the way, I want to bring up something. Is this Joe Kent? No. No.

0

368.175 - 380.125 Unknown

I don't remember what his name is, but he literally is 23, 24 years old. He's 23. Yeah. I got to look this up. This is great. While you're doing that, a bit of an aside. Thomas Fugate. He's 22.

0

380.205 - 382.592 Luke

He needs terrorism prevention.

0

382.752 - 393.26 Unknown

You could be the next head of counterterrorism. I know, right? I think I'm perfectly qualified. Well, I bet you would do a better job because I bet pretty much anybody would do a better job.

393.28 - 395.365 Luke

God, every time I see this picture, it pisses me off.

395.345 - 406.627 Unknown

Uh, so there's a couple other things about Trump, uh, that came out this today. One is on the picture. It pisses me off too. It's, it's terrible. Yeah, we should, I think we're gonna have to show it. We're gonna have to tell our editor just to put it up.

406.687 - 407.188 Tim Fullerton

Kyle put it up.

407.87 - 429.424 Unknown

Uh, but, um, did you guys also hear this, the floor shine story about Trump? So I just I just heard about it today. Maybe it's been out for a little bit. So floor chimes are men's shoes. They're like a mid level. Their shoes are like 100. I think in this story it was like one hundred forty five dollars. Apparently, Donald Trump loves these shoes.
