The Find Out Podcast

We also dove into a deep conversation about how fast things are changing in American politics. People are tired of the cookie-cutter politicians who just play the game, and they’re looking for leaders who are real — people who actually care about making change. That demand for authenticity is only getting louder, and it’s reshaping what the future of politics could look like. 👕 **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: hello@findoutpodcast.com

@⁨Tim Fullerton⁩ Title and description for ya. In our first two-part episode, we kick things off with a massive W for progressives: Zohran Mamdani’s win over Andrew Cuomo didn’t just shock the system—it shattered the illusion that establishment democrats are untouchable. It’s a crucial moment that could reshape democratic politics ahead of two incredibly consequential election cycles. Then, journalist (and expert on the Middle East) Dan Perry joins us to explore Trump’s escalation with Iran. Does he have a plan? Or is this just more foreign policy roulette? Needless to say, there were some disagreements on this one. 👕 **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: hello@findoutpodcast.com
