# DSR's Words Matter A podcast by The DSR Network. American politics is undergoing seismic changes that will alter the course of history. At Words Matter, we believe that facts, evidence, truth and objective reality are necessary and vital in public discourse. Our hosts and guests have broad experience in government, politics and journalism -- this gives them a unique ability to explain recent events and place them in historic context. Together, with fellow journalists, elected officials, policy-makers and thought-leaders, they will analyze the week's news and get at the real truth behind all the distracting headlines. e9d9e3d376f58b88a862f103c3faaf85 Feed: https://feeds.megaphone.fm/TRGM2789420791 ## Latest episodes - [Buckle Up: Preparing for Trump’s Big Push to Steal the Election](https://invisiblenetwork.ai/podcast/1420216970/d93770a2794b) (2026-10-29, 50 min): audio https://traffic.megaphone.fm/TRGM7685643367.mp3 - [Ignore America’s Young Voters at Your Peril](https://invisiblenetwork.ai/podcast/1420216970/7cfbfc4da006) (2026-10-22, 38 min): audio https://traffic.megaphone.fm/TRGM7380115023.mp3 - [Down to the Wire in a Battle for America’s Soul](https://invisiblenetwork.ai/podcast/1420216970/685c3173ddfa) (2026-10-16, 53 min): audio https://traffic.megaphone.fm/TRGM8139447889.mp3 - [The Gathering Storm](https://invisiblenetwork.ai/podcast/1420216970/bdd41106db7f) (2026-10-08, 44 min): audio https://traffic.megaphone.fm/TRGM3689338480.mp3 - [A Conversation with Timothy Snyder: Winning is Essential…But it is Not Enough](https://invisiblenetwork.ai/podcast/1420216970/7e6d0f52e439) (2026-10-01, 57 min): audio https://traffic.megaphone.fm/TRGM1648114131.mp3 - [Is it Time for a Lickspittle Hall of Fame?](https://invisiblenetwork.ai/podcast/1420216970/50b4f9219cc7) (2026-09-24, 43 min): audio https://traffic.megaphone.fm/TRGM6714053126.mp3 - [How Low Will the Mobster-in-Chief Go?](https://invisiblenetwork.ai/podcast/1420216970/6c8407f6f761) (2026-09-17, 51 min): audio https://traffic.megaphone.fm/TRGM4804925892.mp3 - [25 Years After 9/11 and the Greatest Threats We Face Are From Within](https://invisiblenetwork.ai/podcast/1420216970/9501529edc4f) (2026-09-10, 43 min): audio https://traffic.megaphone.fm/TRGM6896847470.mp3 - [The New Acronym to Remember the Great Lakes is S-H-A-M-E](https://invisiblenetwork.ai/podcast/1420216970/79bb1e0f00a5) (2026-08-27, 43 min): audio https://traffic.megaphone.fm/TRGM8814627681.mp3 - [No, No, Norm, It’s Much Worse Than That](https://invisiblenetwork.ai/podcast/1420216970/deebccba2357) (2026-08-20, 49 min): audio https://traffic.megaphone.fm/TRGM6260467705.mp3 - [Lickspittles on Parade](https://invisiblenetwork.ai/podcast/1420216970/71357f9d428f) (2026-08-03, 45 min): audio https://traffic.megaphone.fm/TRGM4374845196.mp3 - [Trump’s Biggest War is Against the American People](https://invisiblenetwork.ai/podcast/1420216970/0c6900091f23) (2026-07-21, 42 min): audio https://traffic.megaphone.fm/TRGM4684152879.mp3 - [What to Do When Trump Tries to Steal the Next Election](https://invisiblenetwork.ai/podcast/1420216970/28e0287f3da3) (2026-07-16, 53 min): audio https://traffic.megaphone.fm/TRGM2202598709.mp3 - [Dead or Alive, Mitch McConnell is a Bad Man](https://invisiblenetwork.ai/podcast/1420216970/ffdbaefde15f) (2026-07-09, 54 min): audio https://traffic.megaphone.fm/TRGM1148315871.mp3 - [America at a Crossroads for Our 250th Birthday](https://invisiblenetwork.ai/podcast/1420216970/0c12361e591c) (2026-07-02, 53 min): audio https://traffic.megaphone.fm/TRGM8391173485.mp3 - [Now Playing!
