Ex-MAGA influencer explains why he abandoned Trump

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 your ad choices.

Is "socialism" still scaring voters away?

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. 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?

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.
