Podcast appearances and mentions of Tom Cotton

More than 10 years in, journalists still have not figured out how to cover Trump. He understands the media environment better than a lot of reporters, and knows his outrageous acts and statements command attention—and that people will not be able to finish processing one outrage before the next one comes down the pike. But now he's laying down the terms of how he expects to be covered, and media orgs are complying by hiring or giving airtime to MAGA avatars. In the process, journalists are failing to hold the powerful to account. Plus, Dems actually went on offense and got their hands on the Epstein birthday book, and Israel is aggressively embracing the age of impunity.

Everything changed for me in early June of 2020, when the Tom Cotton essay appeared in the New York Times and all hell broke loose on Twitter. I was scrolling the app to my detriment, as I always do, and all of a sudden, it was like the night Donald Trump won the election. Big trouble in blue-check city. The New York Times published an op-ed that called for the military to be brought in if the riots could not be controlled. Even typing that sentence, calling them “riots” instead of protests, was a thought crime and could not be said out loud, so you can only imagine how horrifying it was for the reality deniers on Team Fragility to hear Cotton's thesis statement, “This week, rioters have plunged many American cities into anarchy, recalling the widespread violence of the 1960s.”It was dangerous because it was the truth. Like this scene in The Insider, where Jeffrey Wigand's story has to be buried because it might disrupt a corporate merger at CBS News, except this time it might upset the Times staffers and the Twitter hive mind.The point was, Cotton was not only telling the truth — a truth all of us could see with our own eyes — but he was reflecting the majority opinion of Americans. That's why Bari Weiss and James Bennett asked Tom Cotton in the first place to represent the other half of America that the New York Times and everything under the Left's control abandoned. I sat in my apartment, gobsmacked that all of this was playing out. Here we'd spent months on lockdown, making our own hand sanitizers and masks. My daughter was sent home from her senior year of college to have her graduation on my balcony. And all of a sudden, none of that mattered because “systemic racism” mattered more. Yeah, that's what the experts told us.All of these years later, after everything we've seen and learned about that time in our history, we know the Democrats needed it to be bad — bad enough to pressure Americans into voting out a one-term president with a strong economy. It's just that I didn't know that then. All I knew was that no one would talk about it. If you did, your career would be over.The Tom Cotton op-ed would change the course of my life forever because that was the moment I could suddenly see that I wasn't getting the truth. I was getting the negotiated truth, the narrative, what they wanted me to know. I began to wonder, what else wasn't true?It was also the moment everything changed for Bari Weiss, who'd been hired to shake up the media bias at the New York Times. Everyone I knew on Twitter swarmed her, attacked her, and attacked the Times the day the op-ed was published. They were dragging out the history of James Bennett. They were accusing the Times of “putting Black bodies in danger.” The staff felt unsafe, and before long, Bari Weiss became the problem.They kept the piece up but affixed an embarrassing disclaimer at the top, which is still there:After that, Bari Weiss didn't just resign. She took a flamethrower to the Times in a fiery resignation letter that was the shot heard round the world, or at least the internet. She wrote:But the lessons that ought to have followed the election—lessons about the importance of understanding other Americans, the necessity of resisting tribalism, and the centrality of the free exchange of ideas to a democratic society—have not been learned. Instead, a new consensus has emerged in the press, but perhaps especially at this paper: that truth isn't a process of collective discovery, but an orthodoxy already known to an enlightened few whose job is to inform everyone else.Twitter is not on the masthead of The New York Times. But Twitter has become its ultimate editor. As the ethics and mores of that platform have become those of the paper, the paper itself has increasingly become a kind of performance space. Stories are chosen and told in a way to satisfy the narrowest of audiences, rather than to allow a curious public to read about the world and then draw their own conclusions. I was always taught that journalists were charged with writing the first rough draft of history. Now, history itself is one more ephemeral thing molded to fit the needs of a predetermined narrative.They thought that was the end of Bari Weiss. They'd chewed her up and spit her out. Boy, were they wrong. It is now one of the greatest success stories ever told, almost on par with Donald Trump defeating the machine and winning again. According to Puck News, Bari Weiss and the Free Press have now been offered a deal upwards of $200 million to sell the site to Paramount/Skydance and put Bari Weiss in charge of guiding CBS News back to some kind of credibility. Even if Weiss doesn't take the deal, it's still a victory lap for her. There will be rumblings that this deal only took effect because of Weiss's overt pro-Israel stance after October 7th. No doubt, she will be hit from both sides over that one. What happened to MeBecause of Weiss, I started a Substack too, five years ago, in July of 2020. By then, I was already a pariah on my side. I could not use Facebook because of the ongoing attacks, which would still exist should I make my return, which I never will. I'd been swarmed and harassed on Twitter/X more times than I could count. On July 11th, I wrote my first Substack post:On the one hand, I am worried that if I start writing what I've been thinking it will be met with harsh reprimands. At the same time, there are not enough people on the left willing to speak up to talk about what is happening for fear of being called out, shamed, and put out of work. I run my own business, but in this climate, the fear is real. A few angry phone calls can put anyone's source of employment in jeopardy. I'm having a hard time keeping my mouth shut, is the only problem. I see a disaster looming and I feel like joining those brave voices that are trying to shift the course of the Titanic which is about to slam into the iceberg.Nobody read it. No one knew it even existed, but it made me feel better that I didn't have to suffer in silence. Keeping it confined here meant I could still earn an income at my other site, AwardsDaily.com, one I'd been running for 26 years and earning a decent income from for almost as long. In ordinary times, my own website would be where I wrote what I thought and felt, but I knew even the most subtle dissent offered up would be the end of everything. I'd made a name for myself on Medium writing from the other side of the aisle, and I couldn't return there either. In both cases, the readership did not want to hear what I had to say.I kept thinking I had to be that person with the machete, clearing away the sticks and weeds, snakes and spiders, so others could safely travel after me, especially my daughter, who deserved to grow up in a free country where she did not have to be afraid to say what she thought and believed, that she could write any book she wanted to write. I couldn't know that the more people read this Substack, the closer I'd dance to the flame. It didn't really take off until Real Clear Politics began linking to my column and Megyn Kelly interviewed me on her show. So did Glenn Beck. Now, somehow, miraculously, people were paying to subscribe and wanted to hear what I had to say.But this world is kept far, far away from the other world, the Doomsday Cult, the bubble of the Left. Most of them had no idea what I was up to because they would never even think to look. To them, all of those bad people on the outside are to be shunned and ignored.At some point, though, considering how many people there were out there gunning for my destruction, I knew I had to come clean and come out and let all of them know what I thought and where I stood. I also wanted to use whatever voice I had to help Trump win, to defeat them. I was too loud and too obnoxious on Twitter. I was careless. I was doing what I have always done in the 30 years I've been online. I didn't change. Everything around me did. I made a joke mocking “White Dudes for Harris,” and that tweet went viral, with people whispering that I was a “white supremacist” and a “racist.” That caught the attention of the Hollywood Reporter, and they thought a story on my political shift would be interesting. They called me a “Maga Darling,” and that was the end of that. That ended any hope of making money on my website. Even though I defended those who were getting canceled many times, I was still taken aback by how it felt to have all those doors slam shut and all those people turn away. It was isolating and, in some ways, terrifying.The crime I committed was crossing the Trump line. Most heterodox voices refuse to cross it. They'll mingle with Trump supporters, but they will hold that one card back, knowing that when the ship rights itself, they might want to play it. So I don't have the same happy ending Bari Weiss does. I can't take a victory lap, at least not yet. She has her whole life ahead of her. I have my whole life mostly behind me. I'm eternally grateful that there are so many readers out there who get something out of what I write. In some ways, this has been the summation of my life online, tapping out words on the screen, hoping that those words land in the hearts and minds of readers. Hoping that I can be heard. I don't know what I would have done with that. I will never stop saying thank you for saving my life.I don't know if Weiss will take the deal. $100 million or even $200 million means she'll be set up for life. She will never have to struggle. It will also mean she is less free. It means they can “cancel” her again, and believe me, they will try. If she is the head of CBS News, everything will be her fault. The bad ratings no one on the Left talks about now will suddenly be the headline in every mainstream media outlet. Every story will be heavily scrutinized in a way it never was before. They manifest failure where no such failure exists, and they'll never give her any credit. She should heed the wise words of Megyn Kelly, who has been there and done that:Either way, if she's sitting on $100 million, maybe it won't matter. Then again, who knows, maybe she can lead a revolution in the legacy media too./// This is a public episode.

In this week's episode, Rex talks with otolaryngologist Dr. Susan Emmett from UAMS about the dangers of hearing loss and the need for specialized care in rural communities throughout Arkansas, especially for K-12 students. The conversation begins with Susan telling Rex about her journey to become an otolaryngologist and how she worked on Capitol Hill with former Tennessee Senator Bill Frist before attending Duke University's School of Medicine. Susan explains to Rex that she became interested in hearing loss during medical school when she studied abroad in East Africa while doing pediatric HIV research. Susan tells Rex that many of the children she cared for during that time suffered from hearing loss and impacted their ability to study in school. Susan explains that hearing loss is much more common than one might think – stating that it affects approximately 684,000 Arkansans or nearly 1 in 4 people – and most people do not even realize they suffer from it. Susan and Rex discuss several contributing factors specific to Arkansans that play a role in the state's high rate of hearing loss, such as noisy farm equipment and hunting rifles. The economic impacts of hearing loss, Susan tells Rex, stems from children not receiving the proper care and testing as well as the limited number of resources capable of identifying and treating hearing loss early on. She says that statistics indicate that children suffering from hearing loss can lead to behavioral problems, and that such children are three times more likely to repeat a grade and three times less likely to graduate from high school. In effect, long-term issues for those who develop hearing loss includes limited job opportunities, increased risk of unemployment and a higher risk of developing dementia. In this episode, Susan also highlights challenges and barriers associated with hearing-related healthcare in rural Arkansas communities as well as innovative programs that UAMS is developing to mitigate those barriers. She also mentions intitiatives on behalf of the National Institutes of Health to bolster telehealth models, software developments and newer, more portable testing devices for those living in rural communities.  Susan explains that these new resources will allow many more children to receive hearing-related treatment and much faster healthcare delivery.

Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark. 8.17.25

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, Ben Ferguson of the Ben Ferguson Podcast fills in for Mark. President Donald Trump is the law-and-order president. Crime in D.C. is out of control. Trump strategically uses D.C. to demonstrate rapid crime reduction via federal intervention, pressuring Democrat-run high-crime cities like Memphis, Chicago, St. Louis, and Baltimore—listed as America's most dangerous—to seek similar help. However, many mayors refuse due to Trump derangement syndrome. These Democrat-controlled cities could be transformed with proper law enforcement accountability and presence; they just have to ask Trump for help. Also, a top IRS lawyer, Anthony Sacco, was placed on administrative leave following a Daily Wire report highlighting his history of far-left advocacy, including calls to resist Trump and pack the Supreme Court. The Treasury Department is investigating as part of efforts to depoliticize the IRS, with Senator Tom Cotton calling for Sacco's immediate firing. Later, finally we have real justice. A NY appellate court has overturned a $500 million civil fraud penalty against Trump in a case brought by AG Letitia James. The court ruled the penalty was an excessive fine, violating the Eighth Amendment, which Mark Levin explained a year ago.  Finally, the Trump administration is on track to deport over 400,000 undocumented immigrants in its first year.  The big beautiful bill is enabling ICE to deport more illegal aliens and expand detention capacity with at least 50 new centers.

Story of the Week (DR):Trump Demands Intel CEO's Resignation, Says He's ‘Highly CONFLICTED' AND Eric and Donald Trump Jr. to Own Millions of Shares in New U.S. Manufacturing SPAC MMESG Analyst Tom Cotton: Trump's attack, posted on Truth Social Thursday, came two days after GOP Sen. Tom Cotton flagged Tan's prior investments in Chinese companies and his previous leadership at Cadence Design Systems, which recently pleaded guilty to unlawfully selling its tech to a blacklisted military university in China.Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan (~$70M golden hello in March; max potential $400M) directly addressed employees on Thursday after Donald Trump demanded his resignation over national security concerns, saying he has the full support of the board.Tan set up a venture firm called Walden International based in San Francisco that pumped more than $5 billion into over 600 companies. More than 100 of those investments were made in China, including deals with once-obscure startups such as Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp.—today China's largest chipmaker—where he served on the board for a decade and a half.Today, the executive is still chairman of Walden International. And he's the founding managing partner at Walden Catalyst Ventures, which focuses on investments in the U.S., Europe and Israel. He also serves in that role at another venture fund, Celesta Global Capital.Tan stepped out of the venture world and joined the chip industry full-time when he became interim head of San Jose, California-based Cadence Design Systems Inc. in 2008. The executive, who had previously served on the board, went on to take the permanent CEO job the next year. He stayed in the role until 2021, when he transitioned to executive chairman, and is widely credited with restoring the company's fortunes. In late July of this year, the Department of Justice announced a plea deal that cost Cadence more than $100 million in fines. Employees at Cadence's China unit allegedly hid the name of a customer—the National University of Defense Technology—from internal compliance in order to keep supplying it. That organization had been put on the Department of Commerce's blacklist in 2015. The Chinese university was one of a group of supercomputer operators there that had conducted simulations of nuclear explosions, the DOJ said.Shares of American Eagle surge 20% after Trump calls Sydney Sweeney campaign 'hottest ad out there' AND Epstein victims are a growing political threat to TrumpThe Fall 2025 campaign, titled "Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans," centers on a deliberate pun between "jeans" and "genes.""Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color...

Program admission is solely based on “merit and academic excellence,” but applicants still need Ivy League-level test scores to qualify. This includes at least a 1460 on the SAT or a 33 on the ACT, which are both above their respective 98th percentiles.According to Karp, the internship was created in direct response to the “shortcomings of university admissions.”Here's the problem: there ARE shortcomings to elite colleges, mostly that they exude exclusivism and a commodity - but it's still a pretty rich for a guy who WENT to Stanford where he met his future funder and mentor to talk about how bullshit it wasJohn Stankey and the re-rise of the Jack Welch man-directive manbabies MMIt is incredibly encouraging that 73% of our employees took the time to respond to the survey, with 79% of those respondents feeling committed and engaged with their work at AT&T.

It is nowhere near the scale of what we need to address the plans that have already been laid out by our residents, with our traffic engineers, with the coordination of the entire region.”MM: Jamie Smith at EY for writing the only other 2025 US proxy review that included a whole section on director votesPredictionsDR: Trump tries to fit into a pair of Sydney Sweeney's jeans (re: the OJ glove) to prove he did not know Epstein.

President Trump gaat achter de chip- en semiconductorsector aan. Er komt een tarief van 100 procent, tenzij bedrijven (een deel van) hun productie naar de VS verplaatsen. Een flink dreigement, maar het slaat behoorlijk dood. Aandelen van chipbedrijven van over de hele wereld dalen niet, maar stijgen juist.Deze aflevering kijken we waarom aandeelhouders van ASML, Besi, ASMI en al die andere chippers lak hebben aan Trumps dreigende woorden. Nemen ze hem minder serieus?Serieus zijn wél de heffingen die hij oplegt aan andere landen. Die gaan vandaag in. Een tarief van 19 procent voor Britse producten, tot 50 procent voor spullen uit India. Veel is niet uitgewerkt en er is onduidelijkheid voor ondernemers en overheden. We proberen deze aflevering te kijken hoe het voor jou als belegger uitpakt. Hebben we het ook over een opmerkelijke oproep van Trump (hij had het druk ja). Hij eist per direct het ontslag van de ceo van Intel. Volgens Trump heult de ceo samen met de Chinezen.Verder hebben we het over de crisissituatie in Zwitserland. De president vloog naar Washington, maar tevergeefs. Ze moeten alsnog een torenhoog tarief betalen. Dat is een probleem, want het kost maar liefst een procent van hun BBP.Dit kan je verder verwachten: Sony verhoogt de winstverwachting voor dit jaar. Analisten zijn ook al positief over volgend jaar Aandeel Eli Lilly beleeft een horrordag (ondanks dat ze omzet- en winstverwachting opkrikken) SBM Offshore verhoogt de verwachtingen ook, maar aandeel wordt ook gedumpt AirBNB denkt dat mensen minder op vakantie gaan See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this explosive revelation, Tulsi Gabbard, former Congresswoman and now high-level intelligence official, drops a bombshell: Operation Mockingbird, the once-secret CIA program to control U.S. media through paid journalists and editors, was never shut down—it's still active today. Originally uncovered in 1977 by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Carl Bernstein, Mockingbird placed intelligence assets inside America's most trusted newsrooms to shape public opinion. Gabbard's discovery reignites scrutiny, revealing the continued use of coordinated messaging, disinformation, and propaganda across modern outlets—even implicating current government efforts to suppress her findings. As Gabbard fights to shut it down, figures like Sen. Tom Cotton move to strip her authority. If true, this may be the most significant media scandal in modern American history—and a turning point in the war over truth.

"I'm often asked, as the Chair of the Intelligence Committee, if the threat from China is as bad as it seems. And my answer is always no, it's much worse." Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) joins Trey to discuss how spending over a decade in the Senate has led him to see just how critical of an economic and military threat China is to the United States. He shares why informing the American people of this threat is so important and ultimately drove him to write his new book, 'Seven Things You Can't Say About China,' which further explores why China's rapid military buildup, growing nuclear arsenal, and cyber capabilities should not be ignored.
