This is an I-Heart podcast.

Hey guys, we are back on Normally the Show with Normalish Takes for When the News

I am Mary Kathleen.

How are you doing Mary Kathleen?

I'm all right.

It's been a, it's been quite a news cycle. Weird as they come, sad,

hard to spend a lot of time in. And I spent quite a bit of time yesterday, both on TV and at

home watching the Charlie Kirk Memorial Service, which took place in a giant stadium in Arizona, hundreds of

thousands of people there, many that had to go to overflow because they could not get into the

actual arena and just scores of speakers and beautiful tributes and videos. And by the way, just as a,

you've been a political operative in the past

and someone who has to put events together,

a massive and nearly flawless,

as far as I could tell, logistical event,

on a week's notice while they were grieving their boss and friend.

T.P. USA deserves so much praise for it. And just the event itself was really wonderful.
