Okay, feel free to holiday drop it.

Welcome to the show, everyone. I'm John Arola. That's not the important part, but we got out of the way.

More importantly, joined on the first hour of the power panel by Francesca Fierran

Teeny, who's always on Mondays with the Damage War with me. Great to have you here.

Hey. And Nina Turner as well, who joins me on Tuesdays on the Damage Report. It's like the beginning

of a week here on the power panel today. Thanks for being here, Nina.

Yes, good to be with both you and Francesca.

Glad to have you here. We're going to spend that time.

It is a cool name. I've considered changing mine.

That is now my new rink tone. Got it.

When you hear the beep, leave a message for Francesca.

Okay, I think we're going to have some fun. You know, I was a little worried.

This is a little bit of a rough week, but you know what we're going to do? We're going to

treat it like a Christmas tree and burn it down. Okay, we're going to set this thing on fire.

Talk about a lot of stuff through the course of this hour. We're going to talk about how the

economy is actually doing. People are frustrated. Should they be? The Biden White House doesn't think so.

We'll give their case. We've got updates on some major unionization efforts. Arguments about

whether the rich should face higher taxation be conducted entirely within the Biden household.

So that'll be fun. How bad was the burning down of that tree? Some think it was a historic

evil. We'll describe that a little bit later on. But that said, we should get started.
