0:00.0 | Thanks for listening to the Town Hall Review with Hugh Hewitt podcast, bringing to you the best voices on the stories and issues that matter. |
0:07.5 | Here's another piece I'll trust you enjoy. |
0:10.3 | Join by Senator Tom Cotton of the great state of Arkansas, chairman of the Senate Intel Committee. |
0:15.2 | We have a lot to cover. |
0:16.2 | Senator, we have three new affiliates up in the Hudson Valley that may not know you're a Red Sox fan, so we won't tell them about that. |
0:23.0 | They're all giants and Yankees and Knicks fans, so they might not like that. |
