Lemonada This is Beth Silver's. You're listening to Pantsuit Politics. Sarah is off this week. So today I am so happy to be joined by my daughter, Ellen, who is nine years old and in the fourth grade. We're going to talk about the economy. We're going to talk about tariffs. Yes, my nine-year-old and I are going to have a little tariff discussion. We're going to talk about the Trump administration's

elimination of DEI throughout the federal government. And then you'll hear a conversation that Sarah and I

1:00.1

1:05.6

her vision with us for raising engaged, thoughtful people, which is I hope what Sarah and I are doing

1:10.1

in our houses and what I know so Sarah and I are doing in our houses

1:10.8

2:01.7

deeply about what it is we're trying to do together when we create our culture and our laws

2:06.9

and our government and all of the things that help our society function. Second, tickets to our

2:12.5

live show in Cincinnati are now on sale for our premium members. The Spice Cabinet gets the first

run at those tickets.

2:18.3

They're going fast, which we're thrilled about. Sales will open to everyone tomorrow at noon
