Welcome everyone to another week at the Damage Report.

I am John at Arroll and if you're joining us for the first time I want to tell you just

a little bit about what this show is about.

It is the Damage Report and that is what we do.

We give you a morning report on the true threats that are facing our country and our world.

And that can come in a couple of different forms.

Sometimes it's information coming out of D.C., the day-to-day politics, affecting policies

of every different sort.

But at other times they're much larger.

Social forces, their economic forces, things in the environment, things like that.

Today for instance, we're both talking about the President's Lawyer's Statements over

the weekend.

We're also going to be talking about the war in Yemen, our involvement, the U.S.

involvement in that.

We're talking about fracking as well, breaking down poles, a lot of different things like

that.

But it's not just myself, it's not just the great in-studio guest today.

We have Brooktown's Journalists joining us.

We're joined by a number of different awesome guests.

Like Brook, we also bring in people from around the country and around the world experts

in the areas of activism, science, politics, journalism, all of that.

And so hopefully by watching this program, you will know what is actually going on around
