Harry Sisson Sees Signs of Democrats FINALLY Winning the Internet (Find Out podcast on YouTube)

Since losing the 2024 election, the Democratic Party has been under scrutiny for lagging significantly in the digital creator, podcast and influencer game. Podcasters like Theo Von, Andrew Schulz, and Joe Rogan all played a big role in influencing Gen Z males to turn out for Trump. But as Trump has lost support amongst this demographic, has the Democratic Party learned anything? We welcome Harry Sisson on this episode to weigh in on how the party is catching up to the Republicans regarding their digital presence and how that positions the Democrats for both the 2026 midterms and the 2028 presidential election.

Did anything else significant happen in the news this week? Yes, we will cover the inadequate security situation at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. We'll dig into conservatives and the GOP's shameless hypocrisy regarding gun control and shootings and we'll have a spirited debate about violent political rhetoric. Speaking of which, we'll also cover Melania Trump's idiotic feud with Jimmy Kimmel and Trump demanding ABC fire him over a joke.

Jamie Raskin accuses DoJ of cover-up after viewing unredacted Epstein files

"I saw the names of lots of people, who were redacted for mysterious or baffling or inscrutable reasons," Raskin said. He noted Les Wexner, the Victoria's Secret founder whose association with Epstein is public, is among those whose names were deleted… 

Trump was quoted in it as saying that while Epstein was never a member of his Mar-a-Lago club, he had been a guest and was never asked to leave, which would contradict statements from the president that he had at one point barred him from his Florida property…
