This is Sarah Stewart Holland and this is Beth Silverce.

Thank you for joining us for Pantsuit Politics.

Hello everyone, we're so glad you're here with us for another episode of Pantsuit Politics

today. We're going to discuss how we are attempting to filter through all the noise

and coverage and focus on what matters to us as citizens and voters.

Then we're going to talk about the rise of political violence through the lens of the very

scary attack on Paul Pelosi Friday morning. We will end though with a real treat. Outside of

politics, we got to be together this weekend to see the jeds and Nashville and we're going to

really process that concert. I felt a lot better after being able to work this out with you.

Sarah, I didn't get to do that Saturday morning so it feels good to dissect it together now.

So glad. Before we get started, we're still celebrating our birthday. This is the second episode.

Now listen, our episode on Friday, we're counting that as one. We did not count down to zero. We counted

down to a one. That was my call. That's how I like to count down. If you have a problem with that,

you can take it up with me and the DMs, but I won't read them just kidding. Okay. So this is our second

episode, our birthday episode is on Friday. I don't know if you knew. We have two books.

I think you're wrong, but I'm listening and now what? And if you would like to check them out,

recommend your library, purchase a copy, or if you've already read them, leave us a review.

That will be an amazing birthday gift. And then you can put it in the little form we've been

linking to and you get little party favors, digital party favors, and you get entered to win

our birthday time capsule with all our iterations of fancy politics over the years. It's going to be

super fun guys. Next up, we're going to attempt to have a polling free, very healthy, grounded

discussion of the midterm elections coming up. Sarah, we are a week away from the midterm elections,
