This is Sarah Stewart Holland. This is Beth Silver's. You're listening to Pantsu Politics, where we take a different approach to the news. So, Hello, thank you for joining us for a special episode of Pansu politics.

We are currently on our summer break, but we are disrupting that break coming to you from Japan and London respectively so that we could

discuss the horrific attempted assassination of former president and current presidential candidate Donald Trump.

Sarah, where were you when you found out about this?

We had just woken up in our hotel room in Sapporo, Japan.

And, you know, it's so weird with the time difference,

we wake up at the end of the day in the United States. And so then our

morning is kind of consumed for a couple hours with what's going on in the United

States. And it's been that way since we've been here because we've been so

consumed with the news about

Joe Biden's candidacy. So it's like every morning we sort of get the afternoon news and the

evening news and then we have a break all day long when people are asleep.

And sort of by the end of the day, sometimes I can get the early morning emails going out the next

morning.

And so we got up and I think it happened after we

woken up because people started texting me oh somebody says that he's there's

been shots fired at the Trump rally and then it was maybe he's been

hit there was blood and so then we just get this steady stream of information so it

sort of consumed our whole day even as everybody else in the United States

had gone to sleep because it had happened on Saturday afternoon in the United

States but we were waking up on

the Sunday morning and hearing the news. What about you?
