About this listen

Marcus Flowers and Ryan Shead grapple with a brutal week in American politics, from a horrific family tragedy and the president’s inflammatory response to renewed debates over mental health, addiction, and moral responsibility. The conversation expands into a wide-ranging critique of corruption, militarized policy decisions, media intimidation, healthcare cuts, and the erosion of democratic norms under political expediency. Along the way, they highlight moments of resistance, integrity, and accountability—and challenge listeners to reflect on what leadership should look like as the country heads into a critical election year.

Ryan Shead, an independent, and Marcus Flowers, a Democrat, bring their unique perspectives as Veterans who’ve seen the stakes firsthand. Together, they confront the chaos, hypocrisy, and misinformation plaguing our country while amplifying the voices of tomorrow’s leaders. This isn’t just a podcast—it’s a call to action.
