And the Welcome one and all it's me John Idarola back in the studio they let me in

okay they tried to stop me but I got here before them and so I was able to just

walk in and now I'm here and the show's back to normal except for my voice which

remains as terrible as ever and we'll see what's left of it after today's show

particularly because today will be a solo show I'm very excited for it which makes

one of us and I think that's enough that's a beginning but it's only going to be

solo for the first hour because coming up in the last half hour

longtime viewers of the damage report might remember reporter Jesslyn Cook who used to

regularly join the show to talk about QAnon and cults and radicalization and all of that.

Well, she has been off writing a book which is now out and we're going to be talking with her about

what she found profiling families and couples and individuals who have

fallen into QAnon. And so I can't wait to find out what she has learned from interviewing

literally hundreds of families about their experience with QNON and

conspiracy theories. I think it's gonna be awesome that'll be coming up in the

aftermath. So for those of you we're listening on the podcast that's the thing you're

going to want to go to YouTube.com slash the damage report for because those clips will be coming out today and probably during the weekend.

Also happening today on the channel by the way the belated members hang out. Obviously was at the RNC for a week and then I had

COVID for a week but we are doing a members hang out we're gonna deliver albeit a little bit late so that'll be

taking place half an hour after the close of the

show today and I'm very excited to catch up with you all and see what's been going on

your lives catch up a little bit on what I've been doing should be a lot of

fun with that said if you're on a platform where you can hit a like button, that would be a great thing to do.
