Hey, everybody, welcome in Mark Kalprin here. This is Next Up with me, Mark Kalper. I'm the editor-in-chief

of Live Interactive Video Platform 2-way, your host here for everything that's coming. Next Up,

major milestone here at Next Up for those nexters who've been with us from the start. Happy anniversary

100th episode today. We're happy to be with you and proud of the program and grateful to you for watching and for listening.

We're celebrating here, as we always do, no fluff, no partisan nonsense, just cold, hard reality of American politics and life.
