And then you guys came back in and had to deal with the Charlie Kirk assassination, and I thought you guys handled that in such a thoughtful way, real time.

That's a tough position for both you guys to be in.

I know.

It's so sad.

I was signing those books.

I was signing the books right there that day with my chief of staff and she was passing me the books and I'm signing them.

We're checking off the names for these Pub Boxes.

And all of a sudden her phone goes off and I heard she screams.

And I was like, whoa, what happened?

And her husband is in the security field.

And she said, Charlie Kirk's been shot in Utah.

So I, of course, go to X and then see it.

And then I didn't get to my kids in time because...

my daughter and our youngest son are both uh follow him think feel like they know him essentially and i didn't get to them in time before they they saw it so our our youngest i was most concerned about uh seeing that being away from home at boarding school and uh anyway called the school one of the guys uh there's like a trusted agent he's like a guy's guy like us and went over and tracked him down and he was doing fine but it's uh it's different than seeing in the paper or on having walter cronkite report that jfk was killed that's

That's different, I think.

Challenger for us in school when you're growing up.

Like we saw it explode, but you're not seeing the people.

You're not seeing it as viscerally from all these different angles.

Immediately so graphic.

Just so heartbreaking.
