Find Out is an honest, irreverent, and often hilarious discussion about America during Trump’s second term. We’re a team of left-wing content creators (who MAGAs would call radical left lunatics)—but we’re here to prove that we’re just normal dudes you can shoot the shit with. Each week we’ll laugh
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…
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. 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…
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. 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…
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…
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…
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. Plus, the tour is now one big NYC election night watch party on November 3, packed with a bunch of your favorite creators. Tickets at wearefindout.com/tour. Learn more about your ad choices.

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…
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…
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.

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…
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. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
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…
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. 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…
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. 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…
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…
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…
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…
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. 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…
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…
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…
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…
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. 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…
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…
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…
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…
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,…
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…
After the sexual assault allegations made against Graham Platner, Tim & Luke discuss why he needs to drop out right away. 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…
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. 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…
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. After their conversation, the guys talk through what it means to platform someone like that, why they almost didn’t, and why they’re glad they did.If you’ve got a disaffected Trump voter in your life, this one might be the ammo you hand them. Learn more about…
