The Government Clock is Ti(c)kTok-ing
In this episode of the Truth of the Matter, we feature a conversation from CSIS podcast, Smart Women, Smart Power. Host Kathleen McInnis spoke with Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill (NJ-11) about her whirlwind past couple of weeks. The pair discussed her recent trip to the Munich Security Conference, including the moment she found out about the death of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, and her sponsorship of the recently passed House legislation aimed at protecting Americans from TikTok’s national security threats.

Customer Reviews
Highly professional; an invaluable resource
I have only just started listening to The Truth of The Matter, but already I feel better informed about some of the key developments in international affairs.
The participants are highly professional and articulate, and the discussion never strays into irrelevance or needless arcana.
I particularly like the way it is so keyed into current events. The show provides a timely insight into developments which get media coverage but rarely receive such in-depth and accessible analysis.
Awesome
I've not managed to listen to all of the episodes yet, however so far they give good depth and insight to worldwide politics. Better than the Economist podcast by far!
Podcast made by a people that don't understand podcasting - hope they read this and fix it.
Listened to a few of the podcasts and been frustrated by the fact that the podcast stops halfway through and I'm instructed to go to the website to listen to the rest of it. The CSIS need to understand podcasting - if I listen to something it generally means I'm not at my PC, want to hear all of it - if they want me to visit the website it's got to be for additional added value content and not to hear the end of something interesting. Shame as the content is very good and gives good insight.
