Make sure to follow and rate our show with five stars.

Welcome back one and all to another day, another week here at The Damage War with me, John Darilla, and our big Monday co-host, Jara Jackson himself.

How's it going?

Oh, man, I mean, it's fine, John. I just, I was just running around like a chicken with his head cut off.

I've been saying that a lot lately. I don't know why my father always says that. Or maybe my mother, who knows?

You know, you presumably would be the one. Previous generation just passes it on down. I'm fine. I'm trying to settle back in. I'm good. But I do want to you guys know, it's the best damn day of the week. And I've already had an hour's worth of streaming and talking way too much already. I think I'm gonna- Yeah, we're getting some frantic JR energy to start off the week today. He's all over the place. And this isn't even an energy drink, bro, not even an energy drink. This is just a sparkling water, bro. This is coffee because I'm working on an amazing Monday morning headache. Anybody else? Anyway, everybody, I'm glad that you're here. We have an awesome rundown, packed full of news about

immigration, about J.D. Vance and Pete Hegseth. I don't know if it's like a kind of like civil war

behind the scenes, really disagreeing on something important, but we'll get into it. We're going to

do an analysis of the state of Donald Trump's brain.

He, the blunders are coming in like just fast and furious these days and a whole lot more besides.

We got so much fun stuff to talk about that we're gonna get into very soon.

I do want to mention today's the day of the hostage transfer, which is happening.

I gave a lot of my thoughts about all that at the close of last week, so we're not doing a whole other thing on it today.

I'm sure we will check in over the next few days.

But if you're curious about my thoughts about that entire thing, the peace plan, definitely go watch that.

But before we jump into today's news, I just wanted to give two recommendations for

positive content for everyone, because we're gonna get kind of negative here, but I'll

give some positive stuff.

One is an update.

On Friday's show, I mentioned that I was very excited for the upcoming release that day. John Candy documentary, I like me.

And so I watched it, we watched it, my family watched it on Saturday.
