Dr. Chase Spears welcomes Army veteran Sam Shoemate—creator of Terminal CWO, whistleblower who exposed military misconduct, and Chief of Staff for Pete Chambers' Texas Governor campaign. Sam shares how his page started as humor but became a platform for truth during Covid, the 8-month reprisal investigation, refusing unlawful orders, the culture of shadow policy, and why fathers must model courage for their kids. A raw look at accountability in the ranks and refusing to back down.
