Congressman Pat Ryan (D-NY) Talks Trump, Taxes, and Turning Voters
For the first time on Find Out, we’re joined by a sitting member of Congress—Rep. Pat Ryan of New York’s 18th district. Pat breaks down how he held onto a district that went to Trump in 2024 by leaning into direct, local engagement—even in the reddest parts of his community.
We also get into why he calls the Trump tax bill a “shit sandwich,” and what Democrats need to do better when it comes to actually connecting with voters. It’s a sharp, unfiltered look at what real political leadership can still look like.Follow us on Substack at findoutpodcast.substack.com

Why Democrats Keep Beating Themselves (And How They Can Stop)
*This episode was recorded before Joe Biden’s cancer diagnosis was made public.*
This week we talk about how it’s not republicans beating democrats, it’s democrats beating themselves. We break down a series of their self-inflicted wounds: the party’s refusal to challenge Biden’s decision to run for re-election, their inability to communicate clearly and boldly, and the backlash David Hogg faced for calling out the DNC’s resistance to change.
It’s a conversation about power, messaging, and how democrats can turn the tide in the future.Follow us on Substack at findoutpodcast.substack.com
