1. Trump’s Iran War Is Escalating

U.S. strikes against Iran triggered a broader conflict in the region.

The Strait of Hormuz—responsible for about 20% of global oil shipments—has been disrupted, sending energy markets into panic.

Polls show most Americans expect the war to drag on and drive prices even higher.

2. Gas Prices Are Rising Fast

Oil has surged above $100 per barrel, pushing gas prices higher across the U.S.

In some places like California, prices have already topped $5 per gallon.

Trump has dismissed the increase as a temporary “glitch.”

3. A Terrible Jobs Report

The latest report shows the U.S. economy lost 92,000 jobs and unemployment ticked up to 4.4%.

Markets dropped following the report as investors reacted to the worsening outlook.

4. Prices Are Still Rising

Energy costs are feeding broader inflation fears.

Economists warn the combination of weak job growth and rising prices could push the U.S. toward stagflation.

5. The Big Question

Trump promised cheaper gas, a stronger economy, and fewer foreign entanglements.

Instead, Americans are watching prices rise, jobs disappear, and another war unfold in the Middle East.

What We Get Into:

• Trump launching military strikes on Iran on March 1, 2026 — without congressional authorization — in what he called "major combat operations," warning from the jump that American lives would be lost
• His response when the first three U.S. service members were killed in Kuwait: framing their deaths as an expected cost of the mission, saying "we expect casualties, but in the end it's going to be a great deal for the world" — before their families had even been notified
• Pete Hegseth at the Pentagon, scolding reporters for covering the dead soldiers too much, claiming it was an attempt to make Trump "look bad"
• Trump's aide Steve Witkoff going on Fox News to reveal Trump had "a tear in his eye" meeting freed hostages — and why the public reaction was immediate and brutal
• The Iran war itself: who benefits, who wasn't consulted (Congress), and why even some MAGA voices — including Marjorie Taylor Greene — called it "absolutely disgusting and evil"
• Only 28% of Americans thought the administration made a compelling case for the strikes. Two-thirds wanted a congressional vote. None of that happened.
• The deeper question: is this a man incapable of empathy, or one who has simply decided he doesn't need to perform it anymore?

In speech after speech during the 2024 election cycle, Trump promised that he wouldn’t engage in regime change or nation building.

If you turned that into a drinking game, you’d need a new liver by now.

And now, he hasn’t just done it once. He’s done it twice.

This past weekend, Trump proved once again that you know he’s lying because his mouth is moving.

While it’s not entirely surprising he invaded Iran, it’s still a shock and awe moment that will go down as one of his most cataclysmic decisions in his dangerous and chaotic history.

And here’s the thing: Iran isn’t Iraq. Or Afghanistan. Or Venezuela. Iran is the 6th largest country in Asia (around 92M), with a GDP of over $400B. They have vastly superior military capabilities than many of its neighbors. Even if we can all agree that it’s not being ruled by anything that even looks like a pluralistic democratic regime, you could also argue the same thing about the modern U.S.

Imagine how (rightly!) fucking pissed you’d be if a foreign nation assassinated our leaders without backing from its populous and started bombing our nation’s capital.

And that’s just what Trump has done…again. But this time, he’s picked a dangerous and wealthy enemy.

To put it mildly: Fuck.

We sat down with Gregg Carlston live from Riyadh (Middle East correspondent, The Economist), and Andrew Miller (former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Israeli-Palestinian Affairs) who spoke to us to try and make sense of the region’s reaction to the invasion.

With November approaching and 2028 already on the horizon, Democrats face a brutal question: can this coalition actually hold together long enough to beat Republicans — or are we watching another self-inflicted collapse?

In this episode of The Find Out Podcast, we break down the ideological civil war inside the Democratic Party, what’s strategic disagreement vs. ego-driven chaos, and what it will actually take to win.

Minneapolis-based content creator Anna Connelly joins Find Out to share what life is like now that ham-like Tom Homan has taken over for fun-sized Greg Bovino in Minneapolis, where parents and schools have been forced to take it upon themselves to secure their students and neighbors and protect the community from the reckless violence and blatant racial profiling of ICE.

Anna talks growing up dealing with MAGA relatives and trying to balance sanity with the need to reason with them, while admitting the further we go into this dystopian version of the United States, the more difficult it's become to keep outright anger from boiling over. It's not always easy, but it's necessary. Right...?

Former National Security Advisor Susan Rice joins Find Out for a wide-ranging conversation on Donald Trump’s lawlessness and the real-world consequences of his actions—at home and abroad.

Trump’s disregard for the rule of law doesn’t stop at U.S. borders. Rice explains how attacking allies, undermining international agreements, and governing through chaos weakens America’s global standing and creates serious economic fallout. From market instability to higher costs for American workers and consumers, this episode connects foreign policy decisions directly to people’s everyday lives.

We break down why alliances matter, how trust fuels the global economy, and what happens when the United States becomes an unreliable partner. This is a clear-eyed look at the price of chaos—and why democracy and economic stability are deeply intertwined.

With another high-stakes election looming, Democrats are once again staring down a familiar problem: a party fractured by ideology and internal distrust.

In this episode of Find Out, Nathan Jun joins us to ask the uncomfortable question Democrats keep dodging: is unity even possible anymore—and does it matter?

We dig into the left’s civil war, the limits of “vote blue no matter who,” and why fear has proven to be a far more effective motivator on the right. Is this election about moral clarity, strategic compromise, or simply stopping something worse?

With democracy, power, and the future of the country on the line, this conversation cuts past the talking points to confront what’s actually at stake in November—and who pays the price if Democrats can’t get it together.
