Steve sits down with <a href="https://www.wordsmattermedia.com/elise-jordan/">Elise</a> and <a href="https://www.wordsmattermedia.com/adam-l-levine/">Adam</a> in his first podcast interview since Howard Schultz announced on <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/howard-schultz-60-minutes-interview-billionaire-says-hes-seriously-thinking-about-running-for-president-as-an-independent/">60 Minutes</a> that he was "seriously considering" an independent bid for President of the United States. In 2019, a billionaire thinking about running for president is a topic of great consequence. As Steve himself has reminded us <a href="https://www.msnbc.com/all-in/watch/schmidt-trump-is-stoking-and-inciting-worst-among-us-1356409923744">again</a> and <a href="https://www.msnbc.com/all-in/watch/steve-schmidt-gop-is-a-threat-to-liberal-democracy-1264782915819">again</a> over the last two years, these are extraordinarily dangerous times, and the very future of our republic may hang in the balance. We believe that at this pivotal moment in our history, words do have power and they do have consequences.

The Show Goes On - Max Boot Interview

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. New episodes are released on Fridays.
