With All Due Respect

Trump Says the Quiet Part Out Loud

Fri, 15 May 2026 05:01:00 GMT

Marcus and Madeline start with Trump’s stunning admission that he simply doesn’t think about how his decisions affect everyday Americans, and break down why that matters so much to the working-class voters who put him in office. The economy isn’t abstract — it’s groceries, gas, energy bills, and a generation of young people who can’t afford a home or a future.

Then the conversation gets personal. From data centers threatening historic communities like Social Circle, Georgia, to the slow erosion of rights that both Marcus and Madeline once thought were permanent — they reckon with the unsettling realization that the civil rights fights their grandparents lived through aren’t as far behind us as they believed.

Madeline also previews her investigative article series connecting Peter Thiel, Jeffrey Epstein, the military industrial complex, and Trump’s so-called “Board of Peace” — and explains why Trump posting an AI Jesus photo and attacking the Pope isn’t random noise. It’s a thread, and she’s pulling it.

Plus: Team Pope Leo. Full stop.

Marcus Flowers and Madeline Summerville 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.

Bob Trammell on Democracy, Accountability & the race for Georgia Attorney General

Wed, 13 May 2026 23:18:58 GMT

Marcus and Madeline sit down with Bob Trammell, Democratic candidate for Attorney General of Georgia. Bob shares his journey from the one-traffic-light town of Luthersville to the State House floor — and why the current assault on voting rights made 2026 the race he couldn't sit out.

They cover the collapse of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act and what it means for elections at every level of government, from Congress down to your local school board. Bob breaks down his day-one plan to create a Voting Rights Division within the Department of Law, his commitment not to prosecute women or doctors under Georgia's abortion law, and his vision for using the AG's consumer protection powers to go after crypto scams, corporate polluters, and the fraudsters targeting Georgia seniors.

Plus — what running for office looks like when your eight-year-old wants to ride along.

Democrats, the Voting Rights Act, and What Happens Next

Fri, 08 May 2026 05:01:00 GMT

Democrats have outperformed Kamala Harris in 193 of 229 state and federal elections since Trump's inauguration. The momentum is real — but so is the backlash. Marcus Flowers and Madeline Somerville break down the Supreme Court's gutting of the Voting Rights Act, what it actually means for minority representation, and why Chief Justice John Roberts has been working toward this moment since the 1970s. Plus: the DOJ's subpoenas targeting Fulton County election workers, why the activist majority on the Court keeps making the unthinkable happen, and what Democrats absolutely must do if they take back the House and Senate in November. Spoiler: another round of committee hearings isn't going to cut it.

Maura Keller on Veterans, Congress, and Getting Things Done

Wed, 06 May 2026 22:16:46 GMT

Retired Army Lieutenant Colonel Mara Keller has seen what happens when nobody listens — paralyzed veterans waiting months for a working wheelchair, patients left unattended, problems kicked up the chain and buried. So she's running for Congress in Georgia's Third District to do something about it. Marcus Flowers and Madeline Somerville sit down with the Democratic candidate and HTL endorsee to talk about 26 years of military service, her time at the Atlanta VA, why she carries binders full of constituent concerns, and why she thinks Congress is going to hate her — and why that's exactly the point. Plus: what it means to be a Democrat in an 80% Republican district, why swing voters are the real target, and the core values that got her through years of military retaliation after doing the right thing.

Sabrina Newby on Business, Education, and Running Without Permission

Thu, 30 Apr 2026 01:33:34 GMT

Sabrina Newby didn't ask anyone's permission to start a minority chamber of commerce, grow minority business participation in Liberty County from 5% to 13%, or launch a product that landed in Walmart. And she's not asking permission to run for Georgia House District 168 either. Marcus and Maddie dig into her DOD background, the obstacles facing veteran-owned and minority businesses near Fort Stewart, her vision for reforming education in rural Georgia, and the very real price she's paid for refusing to wait her turn.

Duro shares the lessons he learned working for the late Congressman David Scott — a Georgia giant who passed away the day of this recording — and explains why he jumped into this race: to fight the politics of excuses and deliver real results for Henry and Clayton counties. From the cost of living crisis and free school lunch to transit infrastructure and government accountability, this is the kind of policy conversation Georgia voters deserve.

Jason Esteves on Leveling the Playing Field in Georgia

Wed, 08 Apr 2026 22:10:15 GMT

Former Congressman Joe Walsh fills in for Marcus Flowers and Madeline Sommerville this week, and he brings exactly the kind of conversation With All Due Respect was made for. Walsh sits down with Jason Esteves — attorney, small business owner, former state senator, and Democratic candidate for governor of Georgia — for a wide-open talk about what it actually takes to win in a state that's ready to flip.

Esteves makes his case simply: health, wealth, and opportunity. From his days as a middle school teacher in a low-income community to cooking bacon at his Macon restaurant when the crew called in sick, he's the kind of candidate Walsh has been waiting for the Democratic Party to produce — real, direct, and fluent in the concerns of working people. They dig into why Democrats lost touch with everyday voters in 2024, why the biggest opponent in Georgia isn't Trump — it's the couch — and why the trades deserve just as much celebration as a college degree.

With Georgia's Democratic primary on April 27th and a runoff almost certain to follow, Esteves explains why he believes he's the only candidate who can build the coalition it takes to actually win. Learn more and get involved at jasonesteves.com.

Trump's Iran War Is Already a Runaway Train

Tue, 07 Apr 2026 05:01:00 GMT

Marcus and Madeline sound the alarm on the escalating conflict with Iran — and why a primetime presidential address can't paper over the chaos. With the Houthis active, fighting spreading into Lebanon, troops deploying from the 82nd Airborne, and markets swinging on tweets, Marcus argues the administration jumped in without an exit strategy and has no clear path out. Plus, what the conflict means for prices at home, why Marcus can't take President Trump's address seriously, and a closing charge to listeners: the fight for democracy happens at the ballot box — state, local, and every election in between.

Trump's National Voter List Is Unconstitutional. Full Stop.

Mon, 06 Apr 2026 11:00:00 GMT

Marcus and Madeline break down Trump's executive order to create a national voter registry and restrict mail-in ballots — and why the Constitution is unambiguous: states run elections. They dig into who the SAVE Act would actually harm, from elderly Black Americans born in segregated hospitals without birth certificates, to abuse survivors, fire victims, and anyone who can't take time off work to navigate a government bureaucracy. Plus, the striking hypocrisy of a president who just voted by mail himself — and lost a local race in his own backyard at Mar-a-Lago. And Marcus gives credit where it was briefly due on U.S.-Japan relations, before Trump's Pearl Harbor joke erased it entirely.

Birthright Citizenship Goes to the Supreme Court

Fri, 03 Apr 2026 17:19:03 GMT

They discuss the strong performance of ACLU attorney Cecilia Wong, skeptical questioning from Justices Roberts and Gorsuch, and what it would mean if the Court rules against a plain reading of the 14th Amendment. Plus, a moment of appreciation for Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's dissent in a separate case — and why her way of thinking might be her greatest asset on the bench.

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.

Iran's Present for Donald Trump

Fri, 27 Mar 2026 17:30:05 GMT

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.

Richard Ojeda: Veteran, Fighter, and the Democrat Running to Flip North Carolina

Wed, 25 Mar 2026 22:59:10 GMT

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.
