Descripción

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.  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.

Are democrats finally focused on winning?

The fight over Trump's legacy is playing out everywhere this week — including in a reflecting pool full of hydrogen peroxide. 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.   Learn more about your ad choices.

The UFC hits America below the belt

Donald Trump's name is coming down from the Kennedy Center, but the fight over his legacy is far from over. 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

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.  We also take the time to discuss FISA reforms and enjoy seeing clowns like Nancy Mace and Spencer Pratt lose their primaries.  Download the Find Out Social App: App Store: https://apple.co/48Jan4F [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbnFRQWN0T2EyRGlCWkFhRnI5cVBvVDFQM0RqQXxBQ3Jtc0ttMU9vLUVoRzZfbWcweXV4bnl2NmJDQUZiV1p1UTFKbXRMUUMtc0dRb1VrN2kxXzUzaXhtMHpNczJjZktTbHVJalI3bmk5alI2WFQ1ZFhRZ044ek1nTFRleWNnaVZHUnFTUEFDYmhwT2tHY3FWdVBIZw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fapple.co%2F48Jan4F&v=UMhCjVsC4oA] Google Play Store: https://bit.ly/FOSocialGooglePlay [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqazBSMDRma0k4bTRFSk5wZFp5YVZVbmJJb3VuUXxBQ3Jtc0tsOVRtQUZQSE9jTDRxNk9OQVJuY0RkZExTNFJ5UXZwS29vcDVVblFOMTd1MjhGc05ZUkI1cGVSWVpDZlo0UmxOZzV0ZE52WjJzZEo0SzJXeEFXdkRBQ2pBdUl4MHpWOTRjQ2VDQTNLd08zZkxlVHAxTQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FFOSocialGooglePlay&v=UMhCjVsC4oA] 👕 *Merch* made in the USA & union-made: https://findoutpodcast.com [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqa2c1OURhTThSaFRZNWg0UG03RzdUREtWVmF4UXxBQ3Jtc0ttVmljWmZUQ1A1akFjOGZxWmZ0NDVaMjQ1ZXgwYzdTYUJpaENHNEJBUWZTbm9IZ3RTM2dkTU9yaU5Sd1NFYVRxMi1TT1drM0lEQjNwbHZpemthSjJzNkpTOXRQVmR2SWZkR1BZWmpTcVhkVnRod2J0bw&q=https%3A%2F%2Ffindoutpodcast.com%2F&v=UMhCjVsC4oA] 📬 Subscribe to bonus content: https://findoutpodcast.substack.com [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbmJwS01rNThEbEdMY3dZb213ZHRHZXNmWUNBUXxBQ3Jtc0tra09maVpPNFZrT25xandUcU5ObFAySFY2UV9fdmxWY3M1LXlBbXpJUU9Lc1FKTHJVNEptYkJ1WFA3RDY4RHdGT1B0RGpqNDFZUXlkeUIwNXZxNk01TFBxcG5DTG9jVzQ4SW1QdjlSTmROdktHXzh0NA&q=https%3A%2F%2Ffindoutpodcast.substack.com%2F&v=UMhCjVsC4oA] 📱 Follow us everywhere: @FindOutPodcast 📣 Share this episode & tag us #FindOutPodcast [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/findoutpodcast] 📥 Send us feedback and tips: hello@findoutpodcast.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Trump Had A Huge Meltdown On Meet The Press & It Was So Good!

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.  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.
