Angie Nixon is coming for Ashley Moody's Seat
22 oktober 2026 · 54 min
Florida Democratic Senate nominee Angie Nixon calls in from the campaign trail to explain how a state that’s gone red three cycles in a row ended up with a competitive Senate race. She talks about ICE agents going after roofers rebuilding homes in the hurricane-hit Panhandle while FEMA is nowhere to be found, and about insurance companies dodging claims while Ashley Moody, then attorney general, took their money. Nixon also covers the 440,000 Floridians who lost coverage when ACA subsidies expired, her push for a congressional stock trading ban, and what she says when voters ask about the “socialist” label. She closes with a direct pitch to older Floridians on Social Security and health care. Lees meer
After the interview, Tim, Luke, and Rich take on Vivek Ramaswamy’s attack ad featuring Dr. Amy Acton’s mother, Susan Collins claiming she couldn’t have known how Kavanaugh would rule on Roe, and Dan Sullivan’s debate meltdown against Mary Peltola. They also announce new guests for our Election Night show in NYC on Nov. 3. Get tickets at wearefindout.com/tour or watch free on YouTube. Support Angie at angienixon.com.

MAGA’s scare tactics aren’t working like they did in 2024.
20 oktober 2026 · 1 uur 2 min
Two weeks out from the midterms, Republicans are pulling out every old hit: Muslim, trans, socialist, vegan. Less and less of it is landing. Tim, Zak, Rich and Luke start with Abdul El-Sayed’s town hall, where a planted Republican operative kept demanding he “disavow the Muslim Brotherhood” and El-Sayed turned the question around on him. From there: why the trans panic keeps falling flat, and why the socialism attack is the one that still has teeth. Lees meer
The crew also gets into Elon’s flying car stunt and his one-share-of-SpaceX-per-kid giveaway, Bari Weiss tightening her grip on CBS News, and the Senate races worth watching in Iowa, Maine, Texas and Montana. Then the bigger question: are Talarico, Ossoff and El-Sayed winning because Democrats finally stopped apologizing? And what would it take for a woman to win in 2028?
Join us live on election night, November 3, in NYC with Gangsta Grass opening. Tickets at wearefindout.com/tour. On Thursday, Florida Senate candidate Angie Nixon joins the show.

How Do We Raise Better Men?
15 oktober 2026 · 1 uur 18 min
How do men learn what consent actually looks like, and who’s supposed to teach them? Director and content creator Brenna Perez returns to push Tim, Rich, and Zak on the Cornell 7 case: whether assault can happen without intent, why “she didn’t say no” isn’t the bar, and what dads owe their sons and daughters before college ever starts. Lees meer
Brenna and Zak go at it over Shane Gillis’s SNL monologue. Was the backlash worth it, or does that kind of outrage push away men in the middle who might otherwise come around? Brenna argues that calling women whores is part of the same culture that weakens a woman’s “no.” Zak argues the left needs to pick better battles. Neither backs down.Plus: Brenna takes Team Kelly in the Kelly Clarkson vs. Brooklyn Heights shop owner saga.

Young Voters Are Done With MAGA
13 oktober 2026 · 1 uur 1 min
Grace Weinstein, senior correspondent at The Recount and creator of the Who Broke It Substack, joins Zak, Rich, Luke and Tim to explain why voters under 30 are abandoning the right. After delivering for Trump in 2024, young conservatives say they’ve been ignored on the things they care about: no new wars, affordability, and a shot at starting a family. Republicans haven’t made a serious effort to win them back. Lees meer
Grace also breaks down the James Talarico mental hospital hoax, which fell apart in about two hours, and who smears like that are really aimed at. The crew asks whether Democrats have a plan for young voters beyond “we’re not them.” Plus: Brandon Gill auditioning for Charlie Kirk’s old role, the Macklemore and Ed Sheeran mess, Nate Bargatzi’s UFC photo op, and Enes Kanter Freedom’s sudden obsession with the WNBA.

Trump "Loves" Veterans. The VA Says Otherwise.
8 oktober 2026 · 57 min
Trump never misses a chance to say he loves the troops. The reality on the ground looks very different. Marine Corps combat veteran Matt Gordon (USMC Angry Veteran) joins the crew to talk about what DOGE cuts have done to the VA, including a clinic in his area of upstate New York that now has no mental health therapist for roughly 10,000 veterans. He explains why caring for veterans should be counted as a cost of war, and what a real Democratic platform for vets would look like.We also get into how the war in Iran has burned through U.S. missile stockpiles and credibility, new reporting that Netanyahu was warned before October 7th, Matt's theory about a 25th Amendment move to put JD Vance in charge, and the story from Hillbilly Elegy that Vance probably wishes everyone would forget.

You Say You Support Women. How Do You Treat Them?
6 oktober 2026 · 1 uur 11 min
Comedian Lisandra Vazquez joins Rich, Luke, and Tim to talk about the gap between calling yourself an ally and actually showing up for women. They revisit the Cornell Seven case, dig into why “what did she expect?” lets men off the hook, and talk about consent, victim blaming, and why threatening to beat up predators doesn't replace doing the work in your own life. Lees meer
Then, Lisandra relives going from feeling hopeful at the Power to the People concert to hearing Tom Morello say he didn't vote for Kamala. The conversation turns to political purity tests, getting backlash for meeting Hillary Clinton, and who pays the price when people decide no candidate is good enough.
Also: Lisandra's growing collection of Karoline Leavitt crosses, the prosthetics behind her Trump impression, and Vivek Ramaswamy's losing battle with picking up a child.

57 People Saw the Group Chat and Did Nothing
1 oktober 2026 · 1 uur 2 min
The Cornell Seven case is back open, and the guys want to know why it took a civil lawsuit and a student newspaper to get it there. Rich, Luke, Tim, and Zak dig into the group chat 57 people saw and said nothing about, why New York law makes this so hard to prosecute, what justice could realistically look like, and what it means to raise kids in a world where this keeps happening. Lees meer
Before that, Tim relives Sen. Eric Schmitt accusing Jack Smith of perjury on live TV because he mixed up the Atlanta Hawks and the Iowa Hawkeyes, plus the right-wing influencers who posted the "gotcha" in unison and deleted it just as fast.
Also: Trump's mystery leg brace, the Sharia law Tim was promised and never got, and your NPR name (drop yours in the comments).

Why Black Men Drifted From Democrats (and How to Win Them Back)
29 september 2026 · 1 uur 9 min
Michael Bland, executive director of Black Men Vote, joins Tim, Luke, and Rich to break down what actually moved Black men toward Trump in 2024: not policy, but a democratic party that only shows up at the last minute, talks in jargon, and attacks the idea of getting rich. Mike makes the case for a message built on entrepreneurship, real financial stability, and straight talk (a $35 insulin cap is "we saved your family $20,000," not a seven-minute explainer). With gas and daycare squeezing everyone, and Black men now the most unemployed group in the country, Mike's read is simple: the bromance with Trump is over, but Democrats still have to earn the vote.Learn more and get involved at blackmenvote.org.

Diesel is Flipping the Midterm Map
24 september 2026 · 53 min
Diesel prices are doing what a year of messaging couldn't. Tim, Luke, Rich and Zak break down how the spike became the catalyst for Democrats' midterm surge, why $7 diesel could keep undecided Republicans home, and what a wave of new polls from Texas, North Carolina, Georgia, Alaska and Kansas says about the map. Plus Byron Donalds scrubbing Trump from his campaign site, and the races nobody's watching, like Minnesota.Then the crew gets into what voters actually want from a leader. Zohran Mamdani walked out of the Oval Office looking stronger than Trump, while Hakeem Jeffries' quiet meeting with Jared Kushner landed badly. That leads into a blunt argument about Kamala Harris and 2028: whether her problem was a double standard or a lack of conviction voters could feel, and why Newsom keeps getting credit as the fighter in the room. They close with a plea to drop the purity tests, back strong candidates where they can win, and give to reach races while the money can still be spent.Election night is coming. Watch it with us, free online or live in New York. Tickets at wearefindout.com/tour.Next Tuesday: Michael Bland of Black Men Vote.

Trump Can't Handle Losing
22 september 2026 · 56 min
Trump is at 29% approval with diesel at record highs, and his move is to ban CNN, MS Now, and Politico from the White House. The full crew breaks down why that's what losing looks like, how Democrats should actually sell taxing billionaires, Trump's sniper-filled triumphal arch, and the MAGA meltdown over halal Tillamook cheddar.

Mr. Global: Diesel's Headed to $7
17 september 2026 · 1 uur 4 min
Gas prices are bad, and diesel is about to make everything worse. Mr. Global, co-host of American Power on the Find Out Media Network, joins Tim, Zak, and Luke to explain why the Iran war has triggered the worst global oil crisis ever, why the Strategic Petroleum Reserve won't save us, and why prices will still be ugly on election day no matter what Trump does. Plus, Kash Patel's FBI drops its bestiality ban for applicants.Then the guys debate Robert Kraft getting Macklemore kicked off Ed Sheeran's tour for saying "Free Palestine," and Ed's spineless response.Catch us live on the F*ck Around and Find Out tour.

Is AI Actually Going to Kill Us All? (We Asked an Expert)
15 september 2026 · 1 uur 12 min
A former Anthropic safety researcher put the odds of AI wiping out humanity in the next ten years at 10%. Days later Anthropic announced a model too good at hacking to release, half the industry begged Washington to regulate them, and Trump said the only regulation we need is a president with a high IQ.Adam Conner, VP of technology policy at the Center for American Progress, gives us his own read on that number and explains why the damage short of extinction is the part nobody's planning for. Also: how Trump quietly made himself the man who decides which AI models get released, what happens to the economy when the bubble pops, and the campaign plank we're stealing on air. Robots will not fire you. Lees meer

Make Trump Veto Everything
10 september 2026 · 58 min
Democrats are probably taking back the House, and their announced plan is to undo what Trump did and then stop. Rich and Luke argue they should send him single-payer, a $20 minimum wage, and universal pre-K instead, force him to veto all of it, and run on that. Plus the $45,000 cash Christmas gifts Trump handed three young staffers, the 9/11 story he keeps rewriting, and a year without Charlie Kirk. Lees meer

David Pakman: The Algorithm Is Built for the Right
8 september 2026 · 1 uur
David Pakman's new book, Pay Attention, argues that nuance loses, and he brings the receipts: the platforms reward fear, anger, and messages short enough for a bumper sticker, which happens to be the right's native language. Say "the vaccines are killing millions" and it travels. Explain what vaccines actually do and you've already lost the room.We get into why the left's infighting is a feature of the algorithm rather than a real split in the party, how conservatives often aren't disagreeing with our facts so much as never being served them, and why debate-bro marathons measure preparation instead of truth. Then it gets personal: David landed on the White House's media offenders list alongside Brian Tyler Cohen, and having grown up in the shadow of Argentina's dictatorship, he's not laughing it off. We close on 2028 and whether JD Vance is a real threat or a wet futon in a suit. Pay Attention is out now, with signed copies at DavidPakman.com/attention.

They Want the 19th Amendment Gone
3 september 2026 · 53 min
This week is a real potpourri. The Lindsay Clancy case somehow convincing MAGA that women shouldn’t be allowed to vote. Sean Duffy going on television to explain that Sydney Sweeney will save the American birth rate. Why data centers are the only infrastructure this country can build quickly. Whether AI companies are chasing revenue or just power. And last up, a USPS whistleblower who says Trump loyalists kept building a mail-in ballot system after a federal judge told them to stop. It’s been a busy week.

The Ironworker Coming for Max Miller's Seat
1 september 2026 · 59 min
Tim, Luke, and Rich talk with Brian Poindexter about what nineteen years in the iron workers taught him: why right-to-work states stay poor, why the no-tax-on-tips promise turned into a rounding error come tax season, and how blanket tariffs are driving up input costs for farmers while private equity waits in the wings to buy the land. He also explains why the allegations against Miller shook his district to its core, and what it says about a justice system where the wealthy and well connected get one set of rules and everybody else gets another.Poindexter says he didn't get into this race because of Miller's personal life. He got in because Washington hasn't heard from anybody who works for a living in a very long time.More at PoindexterForCongress.com

How to Win an Argument With MAGA (featuring Isaiah Martin)
27 augustus 2026 · 56 min
Isaiah Martin didn't get good at debating MAGA by accident. Before Jubilee's 1v20, he studied nine to nine every day like he was sitting for the LSAT, and before that he spent months on MAGA TikTok lives learning to keep his face still while ten people screamed at him. Lees meer
He joins Tim, Rich, and Luke to break down the method: why he aims his insults at Trump and Republican electeds instead of the people who voted for them, and why "how many minds did you change in the room" is the wrong question. With 200 million views a month, the people in the room were never the audience. The point is arming everyone watching with something they can use on their own MAGA uncle.

The Left Doesn’t Know How to Talk to Men
25 augustus 2026 · 56 min
The Democratic Party has never built a space for men, and it shows in the numbers. Ross Morales Rocketto, the founder of White Dudes for Harris, joins the full Find Out crew to talk about what actually worked in 2024, why it didn't hold, and what has to change before 2028. Ross makes the case that you can't message your way out of people's pain — you have to make their lives better first, then talk about it. Lees meer
Plus: the crew splits hard over Hakeem Jeffries taking a meeting with Jared Kushner, who on the right actually has charisma besides Trump, whether Democrats should zero out ICE funding if they win Congress, and why the first "Epstein candidate" in the 2028 primary is going to go a lot further than people expect. Ross's new organization, Man Made, is at wearemanmade.org.

Troy Jackson on Beating Susan Collins, Medicare for All, and Abolishing ICE
20 augustus 2026 · 56 min
Fifth-generation logger turned Senate nominee Troy Jackson joins the show to talk about the movement that's taken over Maine — and why Susan Collins' "moderate" act has finally run out of road. Troy doesn't hedge: Medicare for All, abolish ICE, and no more letting the Appropriations chair vote no on bills she could've stopped cold. Then after Troy heads out, the crew breaks down why he might be a stronger general election candidate than Graham was, what actually happened in Collins' 2020 blowout, and the GOP's full coordinated meltdown over John Ossoff's Natalie Harp joke — which, as Rich points out, is not the reaction of people with nothing to hide.

Thrown Overboard: How Trump Treats the People Who Serve Him
18 augustus 2026 · 1 uur 1 min
Full crew, no guests this week. We break down the crisis aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln — the longest carrier deployment in American history, sailors jumping overboard, and Trump's response that they "haven't been gone long enough." Then it's the rest of the flailing: floating the annexation of the Strait of Hormuz, threatening to bomb Oman, and demanding aircraft carriers be redesigned to look like they did in WWII. Plus the Turkey decoy plane fiasco that may have pushed Karoline Leavitt out the door, MAGA voters still finding out at the deportation office, and Mamdani's New York quietly racking up wins. We close on some actual good news: the DNC's new primary calendar puts South Carolina first — and we game out what that means for Newsom, Harris, and a certain Georgia senator who swears he's not running.

Did Wisconsin Just Expose a Democratic Socialism Problem?
14 augustus 2026 · 1 uur 7 min
The guys break down David Crowley's narrow primary win over Francesca Hong in Wisconsin — and dig into what it actually says about democratic socialism's popularity. Zak argues DSA politics play worse with regular voters than the online conversation suggests, Rich makes the case that "democratic socialist" policies are really just traditional FDR-era working class economics rebranded, and the crew clashes over whether Kamala Harris's more cautious, private-sector-plus-regulation approach was a smarter pitch or just a losing one. They also get into why voters don't trust the government to run anything well in the first place — and how six decades of Nixon, Iraq, and 2008 got us here. Lees meer

The AI Bubble Is A Money Furnace
11 augustus 2026 · 1 uur 4 min
Cory Doctorow — author, journalist, activist, and the man who put "enshittification" in the Oxford English Dictionary — joins Tim, Rich, and Luke to explain why every platform you use got worse, and why the AI bubble might be the most expensive mistake in human history. Lees meer
Cory breaks down the three-stage playbook platforms use to squeeze users and creators, what TikTok's secret "heating tool" reveals about who really controls your feed, and how a 1998 law made it a felony to fix the apps that screw you. Then we get into AI: the circular accounting propping up a trillion-dollar spend on a $50 billion industry, why the "magnificent seven" are 35% of the S&P 500 while six of them lose money, and what happens to the rest of us when the bubble bursts. Plus: centaurs vs. reverse centaurs, the right-to-repair fight, and why Cory thinks the crash — handled right — could actually leave us better off.
Cory's new book, The Reverse Centaur's Guide to Life After AI, is out now, and Enshittification hits paperback September 1. Find his daily newsletter at Pluralistic.net.

El-Sayed Wins Michigan (Barely) — What It Means for Progressives
7 augustus 2026 · 55 min
Abdul El-Sayed just won the most expensive Democratic Senate primary in U.S. history — and it wasn't the blowout progressives expected. Tim, Zak, Luke, and Rich break down the county-by-county map, why El-Sayed dominated college towns and the Upper Peninsula but didn’t do enough with black voters in Detroit, and what it all says about the divide between democratic socialism and old-school "show up and deliver" politics (with a detour into Ossoff, Mamdani, and why capitalism isn't the enemy — it's the engine). Then: RFK Jr. gets torched by Dana Bash, the crew rips into anti-vax logic using the "everyone dying wore a seatbelt" argument, and a disgraced North Carolina congressman's texts about a staffer's outfits get read out loud (guns as gifts — yes, really).

Gina Hinojosa: Texas Is One Governor's Race Away From Flipping
4 augustus 2026 · 1 uur 4 min
Texas State Representative and gubernatorial candidate Gina Hinojosa joins the show to make her case for why 2026 is the year Texas finally turns blue. She breaks down the brutal state of play under Greg Abbott — schools cutting to four-day weeks, families losing power they can't afford, Corpus Christi on the brink of running out of water — and explains why a one-point Fox News poll has her campaign feeling the momentum. Gina digs into the Latino vote swing, the data center land grab devastating rural Texas communities, why Ken Paxton's primary win exposes the GOP's civil war, and her simple two-part pitch to voters: save Texas schools, put money in your pocket. If you've ever wondered whether Texas Democrats' hopes are real this time, this is the conversation to hear.

Comedian Henry Sir Breaks Down Alberta's Separatist Movement and America's MAGA Meltdown
31 juli 2026 · 59 min
Canadian comedian Henry Sir joins the crew to break down why America's chaos has become his favorite subject — and why Canadians are suddenly discovering a patriotism they never knew they had. Henry talks growing up between rural Iowa and Canada, why his "current events chirped by a Canadian" content took off, and the wildly thin-skinned reactions he gets from MAGA crowds at his shows just for saying things like "fascism is bad." The conversation turns to Alberta's real, unnerving separatist movement — the doxxed voter data, the Trump-adjacent money and bots, the October 19th referendum, and the "just trust me" economics behind the fantasy of going it alone (or joining the U.S.). Plus: Canada's boycott of American goods, sky-high tariffs, and whether Alberta really is the Texas of Canada. Lees meer

Obama’s Interior Secretary Goes Off on Trump & Talks His New Book
28 juli 2026 · 41 min
Former U.S. Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar joins the show for a wide-ranging conversation that quickly turns to life under Trump — the crew and Salazar touch on immigration crackdowns, tariffs on wildfire-stricken countries, and how the sheer volume of Trump-era news drowns out everything else that matters, public lands and conservation included. Lees meer
From there it gets personal: Salazar talks about his debut book and swaps old stories with Tim about pickup basketball games at the Department of the Interior — including the time he tried to recruit Reggie Love and had to be talked into building Interior's first digital program back when he could barely turn on an iPad.

Meet the 19-Year-Old Trying to Save Young Voters From the Far Right
24 juli 2026 · 1 uur 3 min
William He started Dream For America at 16 because he noticed something obvious: the right spent decades building youth media and organizing infrastructure, and the left just... didn't. Three years later he's got 70 active chapters, 700 more signed up, and a billion views — and he joins the guys from a sweltering, un-air-conditioned room in Oxford to talk about why young voters feel politically homeless, what actually moves Gen Z (hint: it's not nostalgia for Obama), and why "the system is broken" isn't a conspiracy theory, it's just Tuesday. Plus: the Ossoff hearing clip that broke the internet, why bombing Mali might be the dumbest use of a Tomahawk missile in recent memory, and a preview of Tuesday's episode with former Senator Ken Salazar.

Andrew Tate Gets Arrested and Trump Panics
21 juli 2026 · 57 min
Tim, Rich, and Luke manage to cover everything this week — starting with the unhinged backlash to The Odyssey casting (turns out the people mad about "historical accuracy" haven't read the poem or seen the movie). Then Andrew Tate and his brother get arrested by U.S. Marshals in Florida on a UK extradition warrant — including his outfit, which the guys workshop for a solid ten minutes — and they get into why Trump can't touch this one without reopening his own Epstein wound. From there it's the ICE shooting of a legal immigrant in Biddeford, Maine, in front of his three-year-old, and what it says about who gets protected and who doesn't. They close out on Fetterman, his approval-rating math, and why one senator refusing to fund Israel while Netanyahu's in charge could actually change something — if he weren't too busy cosplaying as a guy who doesn't have to do anything.

Rep. Chellie Pingree Breaks Down the Maine ICE Killing
17 juli 2026 · 39 min
Congresswoman Chellie Pingree (D-ME) joins Find Out to break down the ICE shooting in Biddeford — a botched raid that left the wrong man dead in front of his family, despite him working here legally. She lays out what her office knows about the investigation, the administration's stonewalling on basic details like body cameras, and how expanded ICE quotas are terrorizing Maine's immigrant communities and costing local economies. The conversation also covers hospital closures tied to GOP Medicaid cuts, the chaotic process to replace Graham Platner as Maine's Senate nominee against Susan Collins, and why even lifelong Republicans in her district are fed up. If you've been wondering how a "boring" state like Maine became a flashpoint this year, this episode lays it all out.

ICE Just Killed Another Innocent Person in Maine — Senate Hopeful Dan Kleban Reacts
14 juli 2026 · 43 min
Hours before this recording, another person shot and killed by ICE in Biddeford, Maine. Maine Beer Company founder and U.S. Senate candidate Dan Kleban was already booked to join Find Out today — so the conversation starts there instead. No ICE presence was requested by Maine officials, and Kleban isn't holding back on what he calls a "reign of terror." The crew breaks down the pattern of ICE shootings (bullets through side windows, "weaponized vehicle" excuses that don't add up), then Kleban lays out his pitch to unseat Susan Collins: a small-business record built on paying workers right, and a Democratic Party that needs more than anti-Trump anger to win.

Brian Tyler Cohen on How Democrats Can Actually Win
10 juli 2026 · 1 uur 2 min
Brian Tyler Cohen returns to Find Out for a conversation built around his new book, How to Wield Power in a Post-Trump World, out July 14th. The crew breaks down why Democrats keep defaulting to process and "strongly worded letters" instead of delivering outcomes, and why Cohen thinks the party's era of conferring goodwill to bad-faith negotiators has to end. They dig into generational change in Democratic leadership, the case for Supreme Court expansion (including a revealing anecdote about Gavin Newsom coming around on the idea), and why accountability for Trump-era corruption — from insider trading to crypto grifts — can't take a backseat to a policy agenda. Cohen also talks about building the independent media ecosystem through his organization Chorus, why the left needs more voices rather than fewer, and what actually moved the needle in 2024. Grab Brian's book at BrianTylerCohen.com/book, and catch him live in DC, New York, or LA this month.

Why Graham Platner Needs to Drop Out
7 juli 2026 · 1 uur 13 min
After the sexual assault allegations made against Graham Platner, Tim & Luke discuss why he needs to drop out right away. Lees meer
After that, Tim Whitaker, co-founder of The New Evangelicals, joins the show to unpack a Fourth of July weekend Trump turned into a celebration of himself. We break down his speech, the right's meltdown over birthright citizenship (including Liz Wheeler's "communist children" claim), and Tim's own exit from Christian fundamentalism — why the loudest "biblical" voices in politics rarely quote Jesus.
We also get into Trump's meme coin grift, which made him $636 million while everyday buyers lost nearly $4 billion, and close on why the left still can't fund a media ecosystem to match the right's.

Amanda Nelson Returns for Supreme Court Week
3 juli 2026 · 56 min
The Supreme Court just ruled 5-4 that the Constitution means what it says — and somehow that's still not the end of the story. Lees meer
Amanda Nelson (Amandasmildtakes) returns to the show to break down the birthright citizenship ruling, Kavanaugh's concurrence that may leave Congress room to chip away at it anyway, and the right's unhinged reactions from Matt Walsh to Stephen Miller. We also unpack the Court's campaign finance ruling blowing the RNC's fundraising edge even wider, the Democrats' messaging discipline problem, and revisit Bush v. Gore twenty-five years later.
Plus, Amanda tells us about her new show launching on Find Out Media, Executive Dysfunction — five episodes on the biggest fuck-ups in American political history, and what they teach us about the mess we're in now.

The crew is back after one of the riskiest bookings they’ve ever made — and it paid off.Tim, Rich, Luke, and Zak bring on NeverWoke, an ex-MAGA influencer who built his following inside MAGA and is now publicly taking it apart. He’s early in his deconstruction, but when he got pressed on the ugliest parts of his record, he owned it.

Is "socialism" still scaring voters away?
26 juni 2026 · 58 min
Fresh off sitting down with legendary progressive communications strategist David Fenton, the crew digs into what his decades of experience reveal about the Democrats' messaging problem. Why do principled, smart politicians turn into hollow talking-point machines the second a camera turns on? The guys argue it's not a DSA takeover sweeping the party — it's an authenticity crisis. Voters don't necessarily want further left; they want people who clearly believe what's coming out of their mouths and are willing to fight, whether that's Mamdani in New York or Brad Lander getting arrested at an ICE facility. Lees meer
From there it's a wide-ranging conversation: why "socialism" became a dirty word despite everyone loving Social Security, Medicare, and the FDIC; where Bernie actually lost voters (hint: it wasn't the policy); and why running a Mamdani in Iowa would be political suicide. Plus, Luke recounts his live-stream debates with MAGA viewers — the guy whose wife voted Harris, the "traditional values" defense that falls apart on contact, and whether you can ever actually change a mind in real time. The episode wraps with the crew cooking up a "pick your fighter" live debate series where viewers choose which host to take on.

Are democrats finally focused on winning?
23 juni 2026 · 54 min
The fight over Trump's legacy is playing out everywhere this week — including in a reflecting pool full of hydrogen peroxide. Lees meer
On this episode of the Find Out Podcast, we break down the bizarre saga of the National Mall's "vandalized" reflecting pool, the no-bid contracts handed to a Trump donor with a felony record, and what this small scandal reveals about a much larger pattern of cronyism and superficiality. We also reflect on Trump's record itself — whether, after decades in public life, he's ever delivered anything of lasting good.
Then we turn to the Middle East, examining the collapsing Iran deal, Netanyahu's outsized influence over American foreign policy, and reports that the administration may be quietly seeking a new Israeli government. We also explore the human cost of a green light to escalate, and what it means when U.S. backing becomes a blank check.
In the back half, we dig into the midterms with a new Washington Post analysis showing a dramatic surge in Democratic turnout — including in deep-red districts — and make the case for why donating now matters far more than a check written the week before an election. We revisit the lessons of the 2008 wave, walk through a state-by-state Senate map, and confront the infighting threatening to undermine Democratic momentum before a single vote is cast.
Plus, a spirited detour into Oasis versus Nickelback, the greatest guitarist of all time, and why some debates are better left unsettled.

The UFC hits America below the belt
16 juni 2026 · 55 min
Donald Trump's name is coming down from the Kennedy Center, but the fight over his legacy is far from over. Lees meer
On this episode of the Find Out Podcast, we break down the removal of Trump's name from one of America's most recognizable cultural institutions and what it says about how history may remember his presidency. We also discuss questions surrounding Trump's health, public image, and ongoing efforts to shape his political legacy.
Then, we dive into the latest developments with Iran, examining whether the proposed agreement represents a diplomatic breakthrough or a costly concession. We also explore the growing influence of billionaire power in America, from Elon Musk's march toward trillionaire status to the role government spending plays in creating immense private wealth.
Plus, we discuss the controversy surrounding a UFC event at the White House, the increasingly blurred lines between politics and entertainment, and why the Knicks' championship celebration may tell us more about American culture than Washington ever could.

Stopping A.I. From Destroying America with Congresswoman Sara Jacobs
11 juni 2026 · 1 uur 2 min
A.I. already plays a role in so many aspects of our lives and lately, the negatives of A.I. have far outweighed the positives. Just ask a recent college graduate who's applied to hundreds of jobs and hasn't received a single response. While more companies have been using A.I. to scan resumes, the big issue is we don't know if these A.I. systems are breaking fair employment laws or showing any bias when fielding candidates. On this episode of the Find Out Podcast, Congresswoman Sara Jacobs (D-CA), returns to talk about how her A.I. regulation bill, which has bipartisan support in Congress, would give the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission additional tools to prevent A.I. systems from breaking the law. Our conversation with Congresswoman Jacobs doesn't just touch upon on A.I. guardrails. It's Congress's inability to fully understand the impact A.I. is having on the American electorate and how to keep up with and respond to this technology as it changes rapidly. While states like California have done a better job at regulating A.I., President Donald Trump has also been doing the bidding of the A.I. industry to override states' ability to take action. We also have a misguided fixation on trying to out-China China in the A.I. arms race. Congresswoman Jacobs argues that when Democrats retake the House in 2026 midterms, they will have a significant opportunity to future proof the government and push through A.I. protections that have a real impact. Lees meer
We also take the time to discuss FISA reforms and enjoy seeing clowns like Nancy Mace and Spencer Pratt lose their primaries.

Trump Had A Huge Meltdown On Meet The Press & It Was So Good!
9 juni 2026 · 54 min
If you haven't watched Trump's latest meltdown on Meet The Press, you should check it out because it's both painful to watch yet so enjoyable to watch this orange man baby crack under tough questioning from Kristen Welker. Trump reported by rehashing his lies about voter fraud, which he used in 2020 when discussing the results of California's election. It's important to remember that Trump is freaking out because his endorsed candidate for governor, Steve Hilton, might not make it into the top two spots in California's jungle primary once all of the votes are counted. This explains the rehashing of the Big Lie about massive voter fraud, especially heading into the 2026 midterm elections. It truly was a massive trainwreck for Trump. Lees meer
Speaking of the 2026 midterm elections, we discuss whether we're still backing Graham Platner's U.S. Senate candidacy in Maine after a whole week's worth of controversial allegations. And while we're on the topic of trainwrecks, we'll also talk about Bari Weiss and Nick Bilton doing Larry and David Ellison's bidding to kill off all of CBS News' crediibility while turning it into a MAGA propaganda machine.

Young Male Viewers Aren't Anti-Democrat, They're Anti-Failure
2 juni 2026 · 41 min
Since President Obama won the presidency in 2008, Democrats have long believed that younger voters would automatically vote Democratic because of the Republican Party's extreme positions on social issues. But the 2024 election disproved that when Donald Trump made significant gains with male Gen Z voters proving that the Democrats have a young male problem. While the same Gen Z male voters who voted for Trump have soured on him in large numbers, this doesn't mean they will automatically swing back to the Democrats in the 2026 midterms; however, they remain a winnable voting block. On this episode of the Find Out Podcast, we're joined by Arianna Jones, executive director of NextGen America, to provide insight into what Gen Z voters, especially male Gen Z voters, view on the state of the two party system. Jones confirms many of our theories about why 44% of Gen Z voters are unaffiliated and the type of political leaders they want in charge. We also gain a better understanding of how Gen Z realizes the real threat of fascism under Trump's second term and the growing anxiety surrounding AI under the control of billionaires like Elon Musk. There's a lot to dive into in this episode but one thing is clear: Democrats cannot take Gen Z voters for granted. Especially since they will make up more than 50 million eligible voters in time for the 2028 election.

We like to win
28 mei 2026 · 1 uur 11 min
We here on the Find Out Podcast are a big fans of Democrats winning elections and we couldn't be happier with this week's news that Attorney General Ken Paxton (R-TX), who was endorsed by Trump, won his runoff election, unseating the incumbent U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) as the Republican nominee. Why are we excited about this? Because Paxton, who has been impeached by the Republican Super Majority in the Texas state legislature for embezzlement, busted for an extramarital affair and is generally hated by Cornyn voters and his fellow Texas Republicans, this creates an excellent opportunity for State Rep. James Talarico (D-TX) to finally flip Texas Blue. The last time Texas Democrats came close to flipping this seat was in 2018 when U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) narrowly defeated Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D-TX) by 2.6%. On this episode, we'll make the case for why someone like Paxton is worse than Cruz. Talarico's ability to communicate effectively with religious Christian voters, coupled with Hispanic and Latino voters turning on Trump in large numbers, makes this a must watch race that could help the Democrats win the U.S. Senate this year. Lees meer
We'll also discuss why conviction is the best weapon for Democrats to counter Republican messaging when pitching massive changes like universal health care. We also enjoyed watching Chelsea Handler and Pete Davidson destroy Tony Hinchcliffe at the Netflix Roast of Kevin Hart. We also crack down on corporations using investments in AI data centers to justify mass layoffs but those investments haven't been paying off. Also, we'll highlight how the tech billionaires like Marc Andreessen, Peter Thiel and Elon Musk want cheaper workers while J.D. Vance and Stephen Miller want more white workers.

We all get cancelled!
21 mei 2026 · 52 min
On this episode, all four Find Out Podcast hosts are going to reveal their controversial Hot Takes on some big issues. We warn you that some of these hot takes might be triggering but we open this episode to a civil debate on the issues: Zak has some strong opinions on how the left discusses Israel. Luke wants Democrats who know nothing about how assault weapons work to just shut the f*** up. Rich doesn't have a fundamental problem with the death penalty. Tim remains adamant that Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) has a better shot at being President than Gavin Newsom or Kamala Harris. Lees meer
Before we delve into them, we cover some big news that happened this week. First off, Trump finally got his revenge against Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), who was the sole Republican to vote against the Big Beautiful Bill and push for the release of the Epstein Files, by endorsing Massie's primary opponent. Massie lost his primary on Tuesday night by 10 points. Also, Trump has endorsed indicted and impeached Attorney General Ken Paxton (R-TX) over the incumbent U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) in the Senate runoff. Could this help throw the race to State Rep. James Talarico (D-TX)? We will see. And of course, we'll talk about Trump's slush fund with the IRS that funds January 6th offenders. Since this is making Senate Republicans very nervous heading into the 2026 midterms, we propose Democrats pitch this to voters as the Thank You For Beating Cops Fund.

Racist Gerrymandering Won't Be Enough To Stop Justin Pearson
19 mei 2026 · 34 min
We continue covering the assault on voting rights following the Supreme Court's decision to gut the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Republican state legislatures in Southern states like Tennessee, Louisiana and Alabama have wasted no time eliminating Black districts, stripping Black voters of their voices. Our guest, State Rep. Justin Pearson (D-TN), correctly states that the government can act quite fast when it comes to suppressing voters. We're very grateful Rep. Pearson was able to make time to explain how all of this happened and how white supremacy has morphed into roles of power in states like Tennessee taking the forms of judges, sheriffs and governors. Pearson argues that Democrats must heavily invest more in local infrastructure, especially in the South, if our Democracy is going to survive. Since the 2010 midterms, Democrats have been asleep at the wheel regarding local elections but thanks to Trump, voters now understand the importance of roles like Secretaries of State. However, the big question is whether Republicans' racist mistakes with these undemocratic powergrabs could actually backfire and motivate huge voter turnout in states like Tennessee heading into the 2026 midterms. Despite all of this, Pearson makes a very compelling case that we the people can fight back against racist gerrymandering by engaging and motivating everyone we know to vote. Doom scrolling is complicity, this is a moment of real action.

Sen. Mark Kelly Destroys Pete Hegseth & Trump For Trying To Strip Veterans Of Their Free Speech Rights
14 mei 2026 · 1 uur 2 min
Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) is no stranger to having to deal with “Department of War” Secretary, Pete Hegseth. This time, Hegseth wants the Pentagon to investigate Kelly over comments Kelly made about U.S. weapon stockpiles amid the Iran War, claiming Kelly “leaked classified information”. There’s just one problem: the remarks Kelly made that have Hegseth in such a drunken rage are actual public quotes Hegseth made himself. No, you’re not drunk like Hegseth at a strip club, you read that correctly. Senator Kelly nails it when he described Hegseth as “Hegseth doing an impression of Colin Jost impersonating Hegseth”. So why is Hegseth going after Kelly exactly? It’s because clowns like Hegseth and Trump are scared of actual leadership. Kelly joins us on the Find Out Podcast to explain how the Trump Administration is the least pro-Veteran administration he’s ever dealt with because of their attacks on Veterans freedom of speech. The Senator from Arizona makes the case for Democrats launching investigations into Trump’s actions when they take back the U.S. Senate along with making house affordability a key priority.We’ll also talk about Republican Congresswoman Virginia Foxx of North Carolina telling a ten year old constituent to f*** off and Elon Musk’s Grok admits that Democrats are better on the U.S. economy than Republicans among other topics.

Texas Republicans Aren't Ready For This Latino Deputy Sheriff Running For Congress As A Democrat
12 mei 2026 · 50 min
Given the latest news regarding gerrymandering and Republicans in the South doing everything they can to eliminate black districts, we're very pleased to have congressional candidate, Johnny Garcia (D-TX) on today's show. He wants to prove that gerrymandering won't be enough for the GOP to prevent a Blue Wave in the 2026 midterm elections. Garcia is a Deputy Sheriff running in the newly redrawn 35th district. Governor Greg Abbott (R-TX) ordered the Texas GOP state legislature to redraw the maps to provide the GOP with five additional congressional seats because Trump requested it. However, the big issue is that these new districts were redrawn based on the 2024 Presidential Election results where Trump gained support among Latino male voters. After experiencing two years of fascism, tariffs and ICE terrorizing Latino communities, Garcia argues that many Latino male voters in his district have overwhelming voter regret. Garcia makes the case that the Democratic Party must fight for old school Democratic values that Latino communities care about if they want to flip this district. Garcia outlines his platform to tackle affordability by preventing Trump from enforcing more illegal tariffs and strengthening the Affordable Care Act. Click here if you would like to donate to Garcia and his fellow Democrats running to fill these districts from red to Blue: https://bit.ly/JohnnyGarcia Lees meer

Remember during COVID when Trump told everyone they should drink bleach and constantly contradicted Dr. Anthony Fauci's medical advice?

OBGYN Explains What Happens If The Supreme Court Upholds Abortion pill ban
5 mei 2026 · 1 uur
The Supreme Court recently put a hold on the the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit in a lawsuit by Louisiana banning access to mifepristone by mail. The ruling came from (check notes) Justice Sam Alito upon request from the FDA and the drug companies that manufacture Mifepristone. Mifepristone is considered an abortion pill and is made available to everyone in the mail courtesy of blue states like California and New York's shield laws. While this is a surprising move by a very conservative Supreme Court, it's also a temporary stay. So what happens if the Supreme Court decides to lift the ban? According to our guest, OBGYN, PA Nikki Sapiro Vinckier, author of the book, We Deserve More, this could lead to gutting abortion rights even more than when the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022.On this episode of the Find Out Podcast, Vinckier explains how these "pro-life" Republican red states aren't just about punishing women for having abortions. The repercussions of these laws have led to a rise in the infant mortality rate in states like Texas and an increase in the number of miscarriages. For a pregnant woman right now, there's no place more dangerous than living in one of these Red States with strict laws.In other news, Trump still hasn't solved the war in Iran and he loves bragging about passing dementia tests. It's getting pretty painful to watch. We're also launching a brand new social media app that isn't owned or manipulated by right wing billionaires. Tune in to learn more about the Fediverse.
