Diesel prices are doing what a year of messaging couldn't. Tim, Luke, Rich and Zak break down how the spike became the catalyst for Democrats' midterm surge, why $7 diesel could keep undecided Republicans home, and what a wave of new polls from Texas, North Carolina, Georgia, Alaska and Kansas says about the map. Plus Byron Donalds scrubbing Trump from his campaign site, and the races nobody's watching, like Minnesota.
Then the crew gets into what voters actually want from a leader. Zohran Mamdani walked out of the Oval Office looking stronger than Trump, while Hakeem Jeffries' quiet meeting with Jared Kushner landed badly. That leads into a blunt argument about Kamala Harris and 2028: whether her problem was a double standard or a lack of conviction voters could feel, and why Newsom keeps getting credit as the fighter in the room. They close with a plea to drop the purity tests, back strong candidates where they can win, and give to reach races while the money can still be spent.

Trump is at 29% approval with diesel at record highs, and his move is to ban CNN, MS Now, and Politico from the White House.

Gas prices are bad, and diesel is about to make everything worse. Mr. Global, co-host of American Power on the Find Out Media Network, joins Tim, Zak, and Luke to explain why the Iran war has triggered the worst global oil crisis ever, why the Strategic Petroleum Reserve won't save us, and why prices will still be ugly on election day no matter what Trump does. Plus, Kash Patel's FBI drops its bestiality ban for applicants.
Then the guys debate Robert Kraft getting Macklemore kicked off Ed Sheeran's tour for saying "Free Palestine," and Ed's spineless response.

A former Anthropic safety researcher put the odds of AI wiping out humanity in the next ten years at 10%. Days later Anthropic announced a model too good at hacking to release, half the industry begged Washington to regulate them, and Trump said the only regulation we need is a president with a high IQ.
Adam Conner, VP of technology policy at the Center for American Progress, gives us his own read on that number and explains why the damage short of extinction is the part nobody's planning for. Also: how Trump quietly made himself the man who decides which AI models get released, what happens to the economy when the bubble pops, and the campaign plank we're stealing on air. Robots will not fire you.

Democrats are probably taking back the House, and their announced plan is to undo what Trump did and then stop. Rich and Luke argue they should send him single-payer, a $20 minimum wage, and universal pre-K instead, force him to veto all of it, and run on that. Plus the $45,000 cash Christmas gifts Trump handed three young staffers, the 9/11 story he keeps rewriting, and a year without Charlie Kirk.

David Pakman's new book, Pay Attention, argues that nuance loses, and he brings the receipts: the platforms reward fear, anger, and messages short enough for a bumper sticker, which happens to be the right's native language. Say "the vaccines are killing millions" and it travels. Explain what vaccines actually do and you've already lost the room.
We get into why the left's infighting is a feature of the algorithm rather than a real split in the party, how conservatives often aren't disagreeing with our facts so much as never being served them, and why debate-bro marathons measure preparation instead of truth. Then it gets personal: David landed on the White House's media offenders list alongside Brian Tyler Cohen, and having grown up in the shadow of Argentina's dictatorship, he's not laughing it off. We close on 2028 and whether JD Vance is a real threat or a wet futon in a suit. Pay Attention is out now, with signed copies at DavidPakman.com/attention.

This week is a real potpourri. The Lindsay Clancy case somehow convincing MAGA that women shouldn’t be allowed to vote. Sean Duffy going on television to explain that Sydney Sweeney will save the American birth rate. Why data centers are the only infrastructure this country can build quickly. Whether AI companies are chasing revenue or just power. And last up, a USPS whistleblower who says Trump loyalists kept building a mail-in ballot system after a federal judge told them to stop. It’s been a busy week.

Tim, Luke, and Rich talk with Brian Poindexter about what nineteen years in the iron workers taught him: why right-to-work states stay poor, why the no-tax-on-tips promise turned into a rounding error come tax season, and how blanket tariffs are driving up input costs for farmers while private equity waits in the wings to buy the land. He also explains why the allegations against Miller shook his district to its core, and what it says about a justice system where the wealthy and well connected get one set of rules and everybody else gets another.
Poindexter says he didn't get into this race because of Miller's personal life. He got in because Washington hasn't heard from anybody who works for a living in a very long time.

Isaiah Martin didn't get good at debating MAGA by accident. Before Jubilee's 1v20, he studied nine to nine every day like he was sitting for the LSAT, and before that he spent months on MAGA TikTok lives learning to keep his face still while ten people screamed at him.

He joins Tim, Rich, and Luke to break down the method: why he aims his insults at Trump and Republican electeds instead of the people who voted for them, and why "how many minds did you change in the room" is the wrong question. With 200 million views a month, the people in the room were never the audience. The point is arming everyone watching with something they can use on their own MAGA uncle.

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 if they win Congress, and why the first "Epstein candidate" in the 2028 primary is going to go a lot further than people expect. Ross's new organization, Man Made, is at wearemanmade.org.
