The Find Out Podcast

Haley Stevens backed Mike Rogers days before the election, and the guys want to know what happened to all that talk about party unity. Tim, Rich, and Luke dig into her reversal on Abdul El-Sayed, the staffers caught off guard, her brutal Anderson Cooper interview, and whether the backlash could actually help the Democrat she abandoned.

Before that, ActBlue CEO Regina Wallace-Jones joins the full crew to talk about the surge in small-dollar donors, what it takes to help candidates run and win, and why Democrats can't pack up their organizing efforts after Election Day. Plus, a little teasing about the 2028 presidential field.

Also: Tucker Carlson's latest nuclear-war prediction, the internet's conspiracy spiral, and the guys' election-night picks—including what Democrats need to do if they win back Congress.

Election night is live in NYC on November 3 at the Gramercy Theatre, sponsored by ActBlue. Join us in person or watch live on our YouTube channel. Tickets at wearefindout.com/tour.

Every red Senate seat Democrats flip next week stays blue through the next president’s entire first term. Tim, Rich, and Luke explain why that makes this midterm bigger than any one race. Nevada’s early vote has swung about 64,000 toward Democrats, South Carolina is tied, Roger Marshall is dragging Kansas Republicans down with him, and Lisa Murkowski just endorsed a Democrat for Alaska governor.

Meanwhile, MAGA is spending the final week melting down because Obama compared Trump’s gold-plated White House to a Cheesecake Factory. Plus: RFK Jr. claims Arabs don’t win Nobel Prizes, new reporting on Ken Paxton’s 350 taxpayer-funded trips out of Texas, and Vivek Ramaswamy’s attack ad featuring Amy Acton’s estranged mother.

One week out from the midterms, the crew argues over Josh Turek’s new ad, which comes out against trans athletes in women’s sports and federal funding for gender surgeries. Was it smart harm reduction in a red state, or a gutless, reactive move that leaves his base cold right before Election Day? Zak defends the strategy but not the timing. Luke brings the numbers on how rare these surgeries are. Rich says Turek took the bait. They also look at how Rob Sand got away with distancing himself from Harris, and how Adam Hamilton in Kansas recovered on the same issue.

Plus: what Texas early vote numbers might be signaling, the 31 fundraising texts Tim got from a House candidate he’s never heard of, Trump’s latest rally detour about Nicki Minaj, and good news from abroad as Lula beats Bolsonaro’s son in Brazil and Serbia’s strongman goes down.

Election night, we’re live at the Gramercy Theater in NYC with Lisandra Vazquez hosting, Gangstagrass, and a long list of creator friends. Tickets at wearefindout.com/tour, or watch the stream on our YouTube channel (hit notify).

Florida Democratic Senate nominee Angie Nixon calls in from the campaign trail to explain how a state that’s gone red three cycles in a row ended up with a competitive Senate race. She talks about ICE agents going after roofers rebuilding homes in the hurricane-hit Panhandle while FEMA is nowhere to be found, and about insurance companies dodging claims while Ashley Moody, then attorney general, took their money. Nixon also covers the 440,000 Floridians who lost coverage when ACA subsidies expired, her push for a congressional stock trading ban, and what she says when voters ask about the “socialist” label. She closes with a direct pitch to older Floridians on Social Security and health care.

After the interview, Tim, Luke, and Rich take on Vivek Ramaswamy’s attack ad featuring Dr. Amy Acton’s mother, Susan Collins claiming she couldn’t have known how Kavanaugh would rule on Roe, and Dan Sullivan’s debate meltdown against Mary Peltola. They also announce new guests for our Election Night show in NYC on Nov. 3. Get tickets at wearefindout.com/tour or watch free on YouTube. Support Angie at angienixon.com.

Two weeks out from the midterms, Republicans are pulling out every old hit: Muslim, trans, socialist, vegan. Less and less of it is landing. Tim, Zak, Rich and Luke start with Abdul El-Sayed’s town hall, where a planted Republican operative kept demanding he “disavow the Muslim Brotherhood” and El-Sayed turned the question around on him. From there: why the trans panic keeps falling flat, and why the socialism attack is the one that still has teeth.

The crew also gets into Elon’s flying car stunt and his one-share-of-SpaceX-per-kid giveaway, Bari Weiss tightening her grip on CBS News, and the Senate races worth watching in Iowa, Maine, Texas and Montana. Then the bigger question: are Talarico, Ossoff and El-Sayed winning because Democrats finally stopped apologizing? And what would it take for a woman to win in 2028?

Join us live on election night, November 3, in NYC with Gangsta Grass opening. Tickets at wearefindout.com/tour. On Thursday, Florida Senate candidate Angie Nixon joins the show.
