Well, as we get ready to hear President Trump's address to Congress, I want to thank you all for joining me for our fourth town hall here on Merritt TV.

Thank you very much.

Tonight, I want to hear what you think and what you're feeling about his first 45 days of his second term.

Can you believe it's only been 45 days?

It's been a whirlwind, to say the least.

Would you all agree with that?

I mean, a lot's been going on.

Tonight, we're here not to take sides, but to have an

honest conversation. So please don't hold back, because honest dialogue is how we really understand

each other and bring our nation together. But before we get started, I want to introduce someone

that I have a deep respect for. He's become a good friend of mine, sometimes an adversary, and he's my co-host tonight.

He's the co-founder and host of the Young Turks, the longest running daily show in Internet history, and the Young Turks Network.

He is also the best-selling author of justice is

coming i'm talking about jank yuger uh jank is known for his passionate commentary and he's built

the platform y t why how are you doing my friend good friend? Good brother. Good to see you. Good to see you.

Now, what I admire most about, Jake, is his unwavering commitment to speaking the truth as he sees it, regardless of popularity.

And he and I've gotten to know each other. I've been on his show. He's been on mine.

Sometimes we argue.

Sometimes we agree.

But we always finish up being friends, which is what I think needs to happen in this country again, don't you?

Yep, absolutely.

So I love to see all of you here.
