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.
