Hey, everybody.

I absolutely hate that we have to do this.

I'm Jared Yates Saxton.

My good friend and partner, Nick Houselman, who's been on vacation, is interrupting the end of that vacation in order to address the breaking news.

Obviously, you all know what this is in response to at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Former president and Republican nominee Donald Trump survived an apparent assassination attempt.

Multiple rounds appeared to have been fired at him.

One spectator was killed.

It appears that the alleged shooter was killed.

There is a lot to get into here.

But Nick, it is good to see you.

I hate that we have to do an emergency thing like this.

All of this is terrible.

Just awful.

Yeah.

For everything that it comes in and gets worse and worse, other than the fact that he survived,

that's always good. You don't want to hear anybody die of political violence. But the notion that they'll be able to sort of play this

into a lot of different ways politically as a benefit to the Republican Party is probably, is frustrating

the right word, Jared?

I think frustrating is a euphemism and I appreciate it.

This is, first of all, I just want to say, and I think it's important.

I'm glad you've already broached on it.
