This hour, we dissect President Trump's joint address to Congress -- what he's themed "the renewal of the American spirit."

And the results of a contentious special election are in! Which way will the Connecticut Senate swing?

And what about a new casino in East Windsor? The town's first selectman says it will bring revenue and jobs. But will it keep people away from the new MGM casino in "West Mass"?
