Welcome to another edition of The Dispatch Podcast.

I'm David Drucker, a senior writer here at The Dispatch.

And on this episode, we've got Senator Tom Cotton.

The Arkansas Republican Service on the Senate Intelligence Committee and the Senate Armed

Services Committee and as an Iraq war combat veteran has always conserved in itself with

American national security and foreign policy.

With so much happening in the world, from Ukraine to the Middle East to China, we decided

to check in with Cotton and see how things look.

We've also warned him that we were going to spend at least a few minutes discussing

domestic politics.

After all, we do have a presidential election on tap.

During the interview, I make a comment on what the Senator is wearing.

You can catch that interaction on our YouTube channel linked below.

Okay, here we go.

Senator Tom Cotton.

Senator Tom Cotton, thanks for stopping by the Dispatch Podcast.

Thanks David, good to come with you.

I don't know if this is going to be, I never know what my producers are going to do with

these Dispatch podcasts, but if anybody ever does see this, what they're going to see is

you dressed like a United States Senator in a suit and tie and me in a hoodie, but just

so everybody knows this is so I can honor the new Senate dress code, which basically says

you've been show up in your flip flops and gym shorts, and it's all cool.
