Lemonada.

This is Sarah Stewart-Holland.

This is Beth Silvers.

You're listening to Pantsuit Politics.

If you are watching this episode, you can see that Beth isn't a very different location because we had a very different episode planned.

Beth was taking some time off and I had recorded an episode with two of my lifelong friends about male-female friendships.

But that is not the episode that we are going to share today.

On Wednesday, September 10th, Charlie Kirk was assassinated in Utah.

And we are still processing that and dealing with the fallout of that event.

And we didn't think there was any way we could share just a pre-recorded episode on a day like today.

So Beth is joining us from her car.

Her sound's going to be a little different.

But we're going to talk about the death of Charlie Kirk today.

But I guess as good a place to start as any is that they have still not found the perpetrator of this event.

A couple people were detained, but then released. Charlie Kirk was at a planned event at Utah Valley University.

Thousands of people were there watching him have a back and forth.

One shot rang out, hit him in the neck. The video was instantly available everywhere.

And there was a small period of time, or I don't know about you, but I desperately hoped he would pull

through. But then we heard the news that he had died at the age of 31 from this gunshot.

So we can just start there with the facts. It's interesting what reaches you when you are

trying to unplug.

Yesterday morning, my friend who I'm traveling with got a call from her brother who said, you know, it feels like everything's spiraling out of control.
