   The Left Doesn’t Know How to Talk to Men

   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…

   Troy Jackson on Beating Susan Collins, Medicare for All, and Abolishing ICE

   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…

   Thrown Overboard: How Trump Treats the People Who Serve Him

   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 AI Bubble Is A Money Furnace

   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…

   El-Sayed Wins Michigan (Barely) — What It Means for Progressives

   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…

   Gina Hinojosa: Texas Is One Governor's Race Away From Flipping

   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…

   Trump "Loves" Veterans. The VA Says Otherwise.

   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…

   You Say You Support Women. How Do You Treat Them?

   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…

   57 People Saw the Group Chat and Did Nothing

   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…

    Why Black Men Drifted From Democrats (and How to Win Them Back)

    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…
