Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) delivered a great speech on Monday evening at the Ronald Reagan presidential library here in California. The news headlines are focusing on the fact that he compared Donald Trump to Reagan, pointing out that both had a shared appreciation for (Democrat) Andrew Jackson and his approach to citizenship and foreign policy. (Jackson has now been all but canceled by the Democratic Party, the party he himself founded.) Cotton also issued a warning to Russia and President Vladimir Putin, declaring that the U.S. would never recognize an inch of what the aggressor might conquer in Ukraine.

"18 He rescued me from my powerful enemy,

Special guests:
- Bradley Jaye - Breitbart News congressional correspondent, on the shutdown
- John Carney - Breitbart News financial editor, on the upcoming jobs report
- Jerome Hudson - Breitbart News entertainment editor, on the Kimmel fallout
- Frances Martel - Breitbart News foreign editor, on the UN and Gaza talks
- Matisyahu - award-winning reggae artist, on his new album, "Ancient Child"
