0:00.0 | This is Sarah Stewart Holland, and this is Beth Silvers, thank you for joining us for |
0:13.4 | Pantsuit Politics. |
0:33.4 | We're so happy you're here for a new episode of Pantsuit Politics where we take a |
0:36.7 | different approach to the news. This week we are once again faced with tragic |
0:41.0 | gun violence in America. It's hard to know what to say in response to these events that |
0:45.6 | happen over and over again. So today we invited Piper Parabo and Chris Brown to talk to us |

1:57.7 | share this quote from his interview. The establishment of peace, the British historian Michael |
2:02.5 | Howard wrote, is a task which has to be tackled afresh every day of our lives. No formula, |
