Kansas Senate candidate Noah Taylor joins Marcus Flowers and Madeline Somerville for a conversation that's anything but political theater. A former infantry grunt turned counterintelligence analyst, Noah is running a grassroots campaign in one of the reddest states in the country — and he's not taking a dime from corporate PACs. He breaks down his top priorities: repealing blanket tariffs, tackling the housing crisis, and holding politicians accountable the way the rest of us get held accountable at our jobs. Plus, Marcus and Madeline react to the No Kings rallies, weigh in on Pete Hegseth's Pentagon press conferences, and make the case that the Democratic Party's authenticity problem might be solving itself — one veteran candidate at a time.

Marcus Flowers and Madeline Summerville break down Trump’s bizarre claim that Iran sent him a “very significant” gift — and why that alone should raise every red flag imaginable. From the Emoluments Clause to Iran publicly denying they’re even in talks with the U.S., Marcus and Madeline unpack the gap between what Trump says and what’s actually happening on the world stage.

They also dig into the administration’s use of memes as a foreign policy tool — and why veterans like Marcus find it not just ridiculous, but dangerous. War is not a game, and desensitizing people to conflict has real consequences.

Marcus Flowers and co-host Madeline Summerville sit down with retired Army Major and former West Virginia state senator Richard Ojeda, who is now running for Congress in North Carolina’s 9th Congressional District.

Ojeda brings the kind of straight-talk that’s hard to find in politics — from his roots in a West Virginia coal mining town, to 24 years of military service at Fort Bragg and beyond, to his frontline perspective on what it really costs to send Americans to war. He doesn’t hold back on the gutting of the VA, the hypocrisy of chicken-hawk politicians, and why cutting veterans’ benefits while deploying troops is nothing short of cruelty.

The conversation covers his bold policy agenda — making the first $45,000 of income tax-free, tying minimum wage to the cost of living, bringing back the Fairness Doctrine, and taxing the wealthy to fund healthcare for first responders, teachers, and public servants.

Plus: why unaffiliated voters are the key to flipping this seat, what’s really behind the push toward war with Iran, and why this lifelong Democrat believes the political winds are shifting.
