Remember the filibuster for a filibuster? We did 99 hours on the air straight and Jill did 78 of those hours (same amount I did). She was there with me all the way. But even more importantly, when I asked everybody if they wanted to do it or if they thought we could pull it off, Jill was the first one to jump in. If it wasn't for her, I'm not sure we would have ever done it in the first place. And if it wasn't for her, we certainly wouldn't have been able to finish it. Her enthusiasm and passion carried us.

She has done everything for the show from booking some of the top guests in the country, to co-hosting the show, to producing Absolute Truth, blogging and countless projects behind the scenes. She was a tireless worker on The Young Turks. She is going to be missed immensely.

We are hoping Jill can do some segments for us from wherever she is living next. So, this won't be the last you'll see of Jill. Plus, we're like family, we've grown up together, so of course, she'll be back to visit, at the very least.

It was Jill's decision to pursue the career she left off when I corralled her into doing the show with us five years ago. I know from experience that she is an excellent producer, booker, etc. and we'll be at the top of her field in no time at all.

Now, with the departure of Jill, unfortunately we are going to have to retire Absolute Truth. She put the show together, produced it and hosted it. It's nearly impossible to pull it off without her. But we will continue to do entertainment clips of the day outside of the regular radio show. In fact, we will be doing a lot of clips on the website that are not part of the regular show. So, stay tuned for all of the fun, new developments on The Young Turks.

You know we are always developing new ideas and bringing you fresh material for the website. But these clips/short shows on the site will take us in an even bigger and better direction. We will be announcing some major media partners soon. Stay tuned.
