The Find Out Podcast

We’re joined by civil rights attorney and writer Qasim Rashid to break down a viral right-wing video that falsely attacks Somali Americans in Minnesota. Qasim walks us through how the video was constructed, why its claims about “fraud” and “crime” completely fall apart under scrutiny, and how racist disinformation is deliberately engineered to spread outrage and fear. We dig into the mechanics of viral propaganda, the political incentives behind targeting immigrant communities, and why these lies persist even after being debunked.What we cover in this episode:How a viral right-wing video targeting Somali Americans was created and distributedWhy the claims about fraud and criminality collapse when examined with real dataThe role of racism and xenophobia in modern political disinformationHow influencers monetize outrage and fear for clicks, donations, and cloutWhy immigrant communities are frequent targets in election cyclesThe media ecosystem that allows false narratives to spread uncheckedWhat responsible journalism and fact-checking should look like in moments like thisHow audiences can better spot and resist manipulative viral content  👕 **Merch** made in the USA & union-made: https://findoutpodcast.com📬 Subscribe to bonus content: https://findoutpodcast.substack.com 📱 Follow us everywhere: @FindOutPodcast 📣 Share this episode & tag us #FindOutPodcast 📥 Send us feedback and tips: [email protected]

We discuss what fascism really means, where the term comes from, and how Trump’s rhetoric, governing style, and political movement compare to historical and modern examples. From attacks on democratic institutions and the press to strongman politics and loyalty tests, we separate analysis from outrage and ask what actually matters as Americans head into another high-stakes election cycle.We also have some fun with the humiliating boxing matches for both Andrew Tate and Jake Paul over the weekend.  👕 **Merch** made in the USA & union-made: https://findoutpodcast.com📬 Subscribe to bonus content: https://findoutpodcast.substack.com 📱 Follow us everywhere: @FindOutPodcast 📣 Share this episode & tag us #FindOutPodcast 📥 Send us feedback and tips: [email protected]

Maine Governor Janet Mills joins Find Out for a blunt conversation about something too many Democrats still tiptoe around: standing up to Donald Trump. Mills discusses how she’s actually fought Trump , defended democracy, and delivered results in a state that rewards strength—not spin. We also get into why the myth of Susan Collins as a “moderate” survivor needs to die, and why Mills makes the case that clear contrasts, backbone, and a real record are exactly what it will take to beat Collins in 2026.  👕 **Merch** made in the USA & union-made: https://findoutpodcast.com📬 Subscribe to bonus content: https://findoutpodcast.substack.com 📱 Follow us everywhere: @FindOutPodcast 📣 Share this episode & tag us #FindOutPodcast 📥 Send us feedback and tips: [email protected]

Democrats keep their win streak alive in special elections, while Trump completely melts down over, well, everything.Across a series of special elections, Democrats have been outperforming expectations, even in districts once reliably Republican. We’ll explore why Democratic candidates are winning and whether this momentum can carry into the 2026 midterms. At the same time, the GOP — and especially Donald Trump — find themselves in a bind. Trump-endorsed candidates have stumbled in high-profile races, and analysts are calling his influence “kryptonite” for some Republican hopefuls, particularly among key demographic groups like Latino voters. 👕 **Merch** made in the USA & union-made: https://findoutpodcast.com📬 Subscribe to bonus content: https://findoutpodcast.substack.com 📱 Follow us everywhere: @FindOutPodcast 📣 Share this episode & tag us #FindOutPodcast 📥 Send us feedback and tips: [email protected]
