It's looking like another TACO Tuesday for Trump as he goes back and forth on extending his ceasefire deadline to try and secure a deal with Iran. With rising gas prices, inflation unemployment and a crisis with Iran that Mr. Art Of The Deal created, Trump's presidency has officially entered Jimmy Carter territory. On this episode of the Find Out Podcast, we discuss how Trump has not only contradicted his own Secretary of Treasury, Scott Bessent, on gas prices, but he's also been screaming at the very White House aides who are trying to keep him awake during his own press conferences. Also, Trump's quietly offering those affected by his tariffs (technically all of us) a refund.Trump isn't the only one making many headlines this week. We'll discuss the FBI's lawsuit against The Atlantic for reporting FBI Director Kash Patel's binge drinking and how it affects his job performance. Then there's Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. getting ripped a new one by congressional Democrats for defending Trump's horrific budget cuts to the HHS and of course there's a new story about RFK, Jr. and raccoon genitalia. Yes, you read that last part correctly. Sadly.

Following Rep. Eric Swalwell's (D-CA) withdrawal from the California Governor's race and his resignation from the House due to multiple sexual assault allegations, it is unclear who will become the Democratic frontrunner. On this episode, we are very excited to have one of those candidates on the Find Out Podcast: former United States Secretary of Health and Human Services and California Attorney General, Xavier Becerra (D-CA), to discuss why he's running to become the next Governor of California. Becerra's big focus has always been healthcare costs, and he made his case for a Medicare For All system along with his record negotiating prescription drug prices for consumers. He'll also address the affordability and housing crisis facing Californians and how he would defend the state from Trump's terror.An interesting fact about Becerra: when he was California's Attorney General during Trump's first term, Becerra held the record for filing the most lawsuits against the administration. From 2017 to 2021, Becerra filed 120 lawsuits against the Trump Administration.

The California Governor's race was rocked this week when five women came forward to speak out against gubernatorial candidate, Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA), for sexual assault. To speak more on this our guest, influencer Mrs. Frazzled, broke the story and walks us through the process of giving these brave women a voice. We'll learn more about how Mrs. Frazzled exposed Swalwell's record concerning infidelity, harassment, and using his Snapchat account to lure women. It's another shameful reminder of how women are never believed and how men in higher office leverage their power to silence their victims. We also learn about the online blowback Mrs. Frazzled has received for breaking the story and the most outrageous accusations people have made about her. We take the time to prove that she is not a Russian agent and has no motive to throw the California Governor's race to the Republicans. In fact, it's better to learn about this now than after ballots are sent out to California voters on May 4th. Especially since the Republicans were ready to expose Swalwell on this as part of their "October Surprise".

We are very excited to have Governor J.B. Pritzker (D. IL) on the Find Out Podcast. Governor Pritzker has long been one of Trump's loudest critics, fighting him every step of the way. Governor Pritzker is the first Democratic Governor, and potential 2028 presidential candidate, to call for invoking the 25th Amendment after Trump threatened to end Iran's whole civilization if they didn't meet his deadline to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Despite reaching a two week ceasefire, Governor Pritzker also points out that Trump didn't really secure much of a deal with Iran after all his threats. In fact, Governor Pritzker points out that Mr. Art Of The Deal ended up with another TACO deal. It's very clear that something is mentally wrong with Trump, especially after this whole ordeal, and now is the perfect time to invoke the 25th Amendment.Trump's illegal war with Iran wasn't the only thing on our minds when we interviewed the Governor. Pritzker opens up about how Trump still owes every American family $1,700 after the Supreme Court ruled his tariffs were illegal. The Governor also touches upon his ideas for Democrats to address affordability concerns including homeownership, raising wages and making it easier to join or start a union.

Amid the anxiety and confusion during the second term of the Trump administration, Tim, Zak, Rich and Luke decided it was time to start providing some answers to our viewers. The Find Out Podcast team asked our viewers to submit questions for this episode and we received many great ones covering a whole range of topics. Will we ever have universal health care? How should you deal with ICE Agents, especially if they show up at polling places? How can Democrats build trust worthy relationships with voters and reach low information voters? Also, if one member of Trump's cabinet were to finally have enough and invoke the 25th Amendment, who would it be?

Here's a fun fact: Gas prices took 18 months to rise during Joe Biden's presidency due to post-COVID supply issues and Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Under Trump, it took just one month after attacking Iran. We taped this episode before Trump's speech on Iran. The American Power Podcast team—Matt Randolph (Mr Global), Nat Towsen and Chad Scott—join us on this episode of the Find Out Podcast to predict what type of bull s*** Trump will try to spin about his illegal war with Iran to manipulate the market and distract you from the largest gas price increases under a U.S. President. We'll also dive into Trump's attempts to fully derail EV production and clean energy, especially with oil prices surging and how he can't pull off the same strategy he used to remove Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela that he's pushing for regime change in Iran. Also, despite what Trump says, China holds all the cards regarding the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz...

Democratic Campaign Committee Chair Suzan DelBene joins us to discuss the party's strategy for flipping key seats, which races to watch, and why she believes the path to defeating MAGA runs straight through the lower chamber.

We sit down with Monte Mader — culture critic, musician, and former far-right Christian Nationalist — for one of the most revealing conversations we've had on the show. Monte grew up in rural Wyoming in a deeply fundamentalist, far-right household where religion and political extremism were inseparable. Today, she uses that insider knowledge to deconstruct the ideologies, rhetoric, and historical roots of Christian Nationalism with the precision of someone who once lived it.

Monte Mader didn't read about Christian Nationalism in a textbook — she was raised inside it. Born into a far-right, fundamentalist household in Wyoming, Monte experienced firsthand the intersection of evangelical religion, political extremism, and authoritarian family structures. Her father groomed her to be a culture warrior; her childhood was shaped by purity contracts, survivalist preparation, and the belief that Democrats were a mortal enemy.

Today, Monte channels that lived experience into one of the most urgent and unflinching voices in the deconstruction space. With over a million Instagram followers and two podcasts — Flipping Tables and Highway to Hell — she challenges her "Coven of Curiosity" to ask hard questions, dismantle dangerous dogma, and understand how religion gets weaponized as a political tool.

In this conversation with [Host Name], Monte takes us deep into the architecture of alt-right Christian Nationalism: where it came from, how it spreads, and why it's more organized — and more dangerous — than most people realize.

• Monte's upbringing inside an alt-right Christian Nationalist household in rural Wyoming — and what that actually looked like day to day
• The difference between Christianity and Christian Nationalism — and why conflating the two is exactly what the movement wants
• How the movement uses victimhood rhetoric as a political organizing tool (and traces its roots further back than most people think)
• The role of gender and purity culture in maintaining control within fundamentalist communities
• The Tradwife movement and the radicalization of young men — how online spaces and religious spaces reinforce each other
• Project 2025, Dominionism, and the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) — understanding the roadmap
• What deconstruction actually looks like from the inside — and why it's never just about theology
• How to have conversations with people still inside these belief systems without losing the relationship or your mind

Monte Mader is a culture critic, podcaster, musician, and fitness professional based in Nashville, Tennessee. Raised as an alt-right evangelical Christian Nationalist, she now uses her experiences to deconstruct religious dogma, white-washed American history, and theocratic politics.

She is the host of Flipping Tables (evangelical deconstruction, biblical scholarship, and American history) and Highway to Hell (true crime and paranormal history). She is currently writing her memoir, Enough, about childhood abuse, indoctrination, and the long road to freedom.

If there’s one major theme that defines our work, it can be best summed up like this: The right has a well-funded propaganda media ecosystem and it’s poisoning the minds of a lot of young men. 

Director and content creator Brenna Perez is very, very good at explaining why men get sucked into an online ecosystem that’s fueled by a bizarre and ugly definition of performative masculinity.

We had an amazing conversation with Brenna about the new Louis Theroux documentary Inside the Manosphere, which then led to a complete autopsy about why the man-o-sphere exists, if men are bad in general (spoiler: of course not), and how to mentor young men so they stop getting sucked into the alt-right’s deep-pocketed content pipeline.

It’s not easy to have these discussions and we really appreciate Brenna taking the time to share her sharp insights into what is a super important topic. 

Check out more about Brenna here or on her awesome YouTube channel.
