Charlie Kirk’s haunting 2014 tweet resurfaces after his death

People on social media believe Charlie Kirk—the right-wing influencer and founder of Turning Point USA who was killed while hosting a debate at Utah Valley University—predicted his own death after a tweet from 11 years ago resurfaced online.

Disturbing footage from the scene shows Kirk flinching in his seat as the crowd of around 3,000 people erupted in panic. Many who were there have since recounted the terrifying moment.

“We all dropped to the ground, and I want to say we sat like that for about 30 to 45 seconds, and then everyone around us got up and started running,” Emma Pitts, a reporter for Deseret News who attended the debate in Utah, told the BBC.

In the wake of Kirk’s tragic killing, a tweet from 2014 in which many believed he predicted his assassination resurfaced on the social media.

In it, he wrote, “Did I just get shot by an AR-15? Feels like it.”

The AR-15, Kirk mentioned in his tweet, is one of the most common rifles in America, with an estimated 25 million in civilian circulation. It has also been repeatedly linked to mass shootings across the country.

However, investigators have not confirmed if an AR-15 was involved in this case. Instead, police say they recovered a Mauser .30-caliber bolt-action rifle from nearby woods, wrapped in a towel. A spent cartridge was still in the chamber, with three more rounds in the magazine. The rifle and ammunition are now undergoing federal analysis.

Kirk’s followers pointed to the resurfaced post after his death, with one of them writing, “How did he know,” while another wrote: “Twitter done told the future.”

Instagram

The suspect in Charlie Kirk’s shooting has been identified as 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, who was arrested two days after the 31-year-old Trump ally was killed.

According to authorities, it was Robinson’s father, a former law enforcement officer, who turned him in.

Erika Kirk’s words haunt everyone after husband Charlie Kirk is assassinated

Charlie Kirk, the progressive force behind Turning Point USA —one of the largest student-focused political groups in the country — was roughly 20 minutes into his speech at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, when a gunshot struck him in the neck. Footage from the event shows Kirk collapsing backward as blood poured from the wound.

He was rushed to a hospital, but was later pronounced dead. The news of his passing was shared by President Donald Trump who considered Kirk “a very, very good friend.”

“The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead. No one understood or had the Heart of the Youth in the United States of America better than Charlie. He was loved and admired by ALL, especially me, and now, he is no longer with us. Melania and my Sympathies go out to his beautiful wife Erika, and family. Charlie, we love you!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

As of now, no suspects have been arrested.

Kirk leaves behind wife Erika and their two children, a daughter, 3, and a son, just 16 months old.

The couple celebrated their fourth wedding anniversary in May. They tied the knot in 2021 with what Erika described as a “very intimate” ceremony in Arizona, keeping things simple without bridesmaids, groomsmen, or even a bachelorette party.

She wrote at the time, “Slow down. It’s one day; yes it marks a new chapter of life. Yes, it symbolizes a special covenant between you, your husband and the Lord. But remember it’s the days afterward that matter more.”

Instagram

Just weeks before his death, Charlie and Erika appeared on Fox & Friends with their children. A widely shared clip showed their daughter sprinting across the studio floor into Charlie’s arms as he lifted her up mid-broadcast.

Mere hours before the tragedy that took her husband away from her and her children, Erika Kirk posted a verse from Psalm 46:1: “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”

Instagram

Following Kirk’s tragic shooting, Erika was sent prayers and condolences on social media

“Your husband is with Jesus. He was a hero and an inspiration. You will see him again, although I know that is no consolation to you and your precious babies right now.

“I’m so sorry that you are going through this. Evil is rampant in this country,”one person wrote.

Another said that the “Christians of this nation are praying for you and your family,” while a third commented: “Jesus is holding you in his warm embrace. We are heartbroken.”

Instagram

Running her own ministry and faith-based clothing brand, Erika had stayed quiet on social media until just two days before the tragic event. A post from the day before read: “Psalm 34:8 – Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!”

As the nation grieves Charlie Kirk, Erika’s story serves as a reminder of the struggle of coping with loss under the public eye. While media and political commentators speculate about Turning Point USA’s future, few could truly grasp her daily reality: cherishing her husband’s legacy while keeping her family’s life moving forward.

Russia issues scathing response to Trump’s sanction threats

After Russia carried out its heaviest aerial bombardment since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, President Donald Trump warned of tougher sanctions against Moscow.

According to BBC, the Sunday’s attacks claimed the lives of four civilians, among which those of a mother and her child.

Ukraine reported that the attack, which damaged the main government building in Kyiv, included at least 810 drones and 13 missiles, leading to renewed demands for tougher Western measures against President Vladimir Putin.

On Monday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that no sanctions would ever be able to force Russia to “change the consistent position that our president has repeatedly spoken about.”

REUTERS

Trump informed reporters on Sunday, September 7, that he was ready to escalate sanctions against Russia. He had previously threatened secondary tariffs targeting Russia’s major trading partners, along with other punitive actions, if the country did not move toward peace with Ukraine.

“We are prepared to increase pressure on Russia, but we need our European partners to follow us,” Trump shared with NBC News’ Meet the Press.

He also added that if the EU increased their sanctions on Russia, then their “economy will be in total collapse, and that will bring President Putin to the table.”

Russia on the other hand dubbed Trump’s sanctions “absolutely useless,” stating they have “no effect whatsoever,” Newsweek reported.

“Overall, one thing can probably be said: This unprecedented number of sanctions that have been imposed on our country over the past—well, it’s already almost four years, now four years—have had no effect whatsoever,” Peskov told Russian Alexander Yunashev.

“They have proven absolutely useless in terms of putting pressure on Russia,” Peksov said in Russian in a video posted Monday morning on the Yunashev LIVE channel on Telegram, according to Newsweek.

Several European leaders have once again expressed their support for Ukraine in its struggle against Russia.

As reported by Uniland, French President Emmanuel Macron confirmed that 26 of Ukraine’s allies will deploy troops “by land, sea, or air” to secure the country once a ceasefire is in place.

However, Macron clarified that he does not seek war with Russia and is focused on preventing “any major new aggression.”

Putin responded to Macron’s message, stating, “If any troops appear there, especially now, during military operations, we proceed from the fact that these will be legitimate targets for their destruction.

“And if decisions are reached that lead to peace, to long-term peace, then I simply do not see any sense in their presence on the territory of Ukraine, full stop.”

Did Charlie Kirk start asking the wrong questions?

Charlie Kirk, a right-wing activist and co-founder of Turning Point USA who helped mobilize young Trump voters and was well known for his “Prove Me Wrong” videos, was shot during an appearance at Utah Valley University Wednesday, and not only the States, but the entire world won’t stop wondering if this young conservative started asking the wrong questions.

Kirk built a strong presence as both a radio host and podcaster, repeatedly voicing opposition to liberal stances on gun control, climate change, the civil rights movement, and 2SLGBTQ+ rights.

Among the rest, he was a vocal Israel supporter, with the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu calling Kirk a “lion-hearted friend of Israel” following his assessination.

“[Kirk] fought the lies and stood tall for Judeo-Christian civilization,” Netanyahu said. “His boundless pride in America and his valiant belief in free speech will leave a lasting impact.”

In a July 28 video he posted on X, Kirk said, “No, Israel is not starving Gazans.” This came at a time when humanitarian agencies were urging steps to ease hunger and stave off famine in Gaza.

However, another video of him shows him discussing the October 7 killing when Hamas launched a surprise assault across the Gaza–Israel border, targeting civilian communities, military outposts, and public gatherings.

“I think some questions need to be asked. Was there a stand down order?” Kirk asked.

“Six hours, I don’t believe it. Israel is the size of New Jersey. When I took a helicopter ride fro Jerusalem to the Gaza border, it’s 45 minutes.

“Six hours. They are livestreaming the ki*ling of Jews. Did somebody in the government say stand down?

“That is a legitimate non-conspiracy question,” Kirk ended.

In yet another video from August 7, Kirk told Megyn Kelly that his moral character was put into question and he was called anti-Semitic following a debate he had moderated at the Student Action Summit (SAS) 2025 with comedian and libertarian commentator Dave Smith and political commentator Josh Hammer.

The discussion focused largely on Israel and U.S. foreign policy, touching on issues such as neoconservatism, the influence of lobbying, and America’s involvement in international conflicts.

Dave Smith criticized what he sees as overreach by U.S. military interventions and the strong influence of neoconservatives on foreign policy. Drawing on figures like Ron Paul, Smith advocated for a more non-interventionist, constitutional approach rooted in the “founding-fathers” vision.

In contrast, Josh Hammer defended the traditional U.S.–Israel alliance and challenged Smith’s framing of the issues. The debate grew heated at times, reflecting deeper tensions over war, morality, political influence, and alignment with Israel.

The full discussion was later described as “The Debate Heard Around the World,” highlighting the importance of open dialogue and the airing of disagreements rather than the silencing of dissenting voices.

Days following the debate, Kirk issued a warning that strong forces were “after him,” according to powerprofilesraw.

People were quick to share their opinion on what really happened to Kirk and who is responsible for his life being cut short.

“Charlie Kirk got assassinated for the same reason JFK got assassinated,” one person commented. “This is only 2-3 weeks ago. He started going against Israel,” another added.

“This was a professional hit, we all know who did this… the same folks who took out the twin towers 24 years ago on this DAY!” a third commented. “He started to change his stance and with a platform as big as his they just couldn’t allow that,” someone else concluded.

Another person asked, “So he opposed the Israeli community?”

The killing of Charlie Kirk raises a lot of questions and conspiracy theories.

Many believe his assassination wasn’t an act of some lefty with a gun, but a military one.

Some even see it as a warning, stating, “If they can kill the face of the resistance, they hope the body will shut down.”

In a video posted on Instagram, lauraegocheaga claims, “When too much truth leaks out, Babylon hits the kill switch,” adding, “Charlie was the warning, you are the response.”

What is your opinion on this? Do you believe Charlie Kirk’s killing was a result of him asking the wrong question and messing with the wrong people?

Passenger told me to hide with my baby – he regretted it when he saw who took my seat

When I was six months pregnant and believed my life was a fairy tale, life suddenly took a heartbreaking turn. My husband David lost his life in a car accident and I was left grieving.

When my baby Ethan was born, things got even harder. I struggled with money and didn’t have anyone to turn to.

My mom thought a change would help lift my spirits, even just a little bit, so she invited me and Ethan over.

The flight was about to last for a couple of hours, and with Ethan teething, I knew it wouldn’t be a smooth experience. Sadly, I was right.

Once we boarded the plane, Ethan started crying uncontrollably, making some of the passengers uncomfortable. But honestly, there was nothing I hadn’t tried to calm him down.

At one moment, the passenger who was seated next to me started yelling: “Take your screaming baby to the bathroom and stay there!”

The entire plan could hear him say that over and over again.

I felt humiliated and on the verge of tears, ready to retreat when a tall, calm man in a suit stopped me. “Come with me,” he said, guiding us to an empty seat in business class.

There, the quiet and space allowed Ethan to finally settle and fall asleep.

What I wasn’t aware of at the time was that the kind stranger had taken my old seat, right next to the passenger who was rude to me.

As the man continued to complain about me and my baby, the stranger calmly revealed who he was: Mr. Coleman, the passenger’s boss. His presence instantly changed the atmosphere on the plane. With everyone listening, Mr. Coleman addressed the rude passenger firmly but professionally, making it clear that his behavior was unacceptable and exposing his true character for all to see.

By the time we landed, Mr. Coleman had called the man aside and said decisively, “You’ll hand in your badge and laptop. You’re fired.”

Mr. Coleman then turned to me and said, “You are a wonderful mother, because you do everything you can for you and your baby boy.”

His words touched me deeply. They eased my doubts and fears, showing me that kindness can still be found, even in the most unexpected moments.

Health experts warn you to stop eating these 8 foods linked to cancer

Cancer is not a single disease but a complex group of illnesses with many potential causes. In all types of cancer, certain cells in the body begin dividing uncontrollably and can invade nearby tissues. Since the human body is made up of trillions of cells, cancer can potentially spread to almost any part of it.

Under normal conditions, cells grow, divide, and die in an orderly cycle: old or damaged cells are replaced by new ones as needed. Cancer disrupts this process. Abnormal cells survive when they should die and continue to multiply even when the body doesn’t need them. These uncontrolled cells can form masses called tumors.

According to experts, cancer can be triggered by multiple factors, including:

  • Smoking and tobacco use
  • Exposure to the sun or other types of radiation
  • Viruses and infections

A study by the American Cancer Society found that about 18% of cancer cases in the U.S. are attributable to a combination of poor diet, obesity, physical inactivity, and alcohol consumption—this being tied for the second-highest group of risk factors after smoking.

One can lower the risks of getting cancer by quitting smoking, exercising regularly, maintaining healthy body weight, and improve the quality of the food they consume.

When it comes to food, experts warn against eight types of foods believed to increase the risk of cancer, thus urge you to stop consuming them.

1. Refined and Artificial Sugary Foods

Too much sugar—especially from sodas, energy drinks, and sweeteners like corn syrup—raises insulin, harms metabolism, and may increase cancer risk.

A 2006 study even linked sugary diets to pancreatic cancer. Dr. London calls soft drinks “liquid death” because they’re also loaded with dyes and preservatives.

Safer choices would be water with fruit, smoothies, or natural sweeteners like honey and maple syrup.

2. Red and Processed Meats

WHO has classified processed meats like bacon, ham, salami, and sausages as a Group 1 carcinogen—meaning they’re proven to cause cancer. The danger comes from preservatives such as nitrates and nitrites, which can form cancer-causing compounds in the body. Children are even more at risk because their digestive systems are still developing.

Research shows eating too much processed meat raises the risk of colorectal cancer, while a high intake of red meat has also been linked to prostate cancer. To lower your risk, replace processed meats for fresh lean cuts, poultry, or plant-based options. Grass-fed meat is also a healthier alternative.

3. Smoked and Pickled Foods

Including smoked and pickled foods in your diet regularly can have a negative impact on overall health.

The smoking process leaves behind toxic compounds in the meat, which can lead to various health issues over time. Pickled foods, on the other hand, contain high levels of nitrates that can transform into N-nitroso compounds—substances linked to an increased risk of cancer, particularly in the digestive system.

In addition, these foods contain preservatives to extend their shelf life.

While preservatives help keep food fresh, consuming them in excess can trigger cellular damage and further elevate cancer risk.

4. White Flour

Many processed foods nowadays contain refined white flour. However, it is high in carbohydrates, which can negatively affect your health. Research has linked high carb intake to an increased risk of breast cancer in women, and refined flour can cause rapid spikes in blood sugar levels.

Healthier alternatives would be whole-wheat, almond, quinoa, or barley flour. These not only provide more nutrients, but they also help maintain stable blood sugar.

5. Hydrogenated Oils

Many commercially processed vegetable oils are chemically extracted to extend shelf life, a process that can turn them into harmful substances. They are rich in omega-6 fatty acids and trans fats. While omega-6 in small amounts is beneficial, too much can affect cell membrane structure and flexibility, increasing the risk of several cancers, especially skin cancer.

Trans fats also contribute to colorectal, prostate, and breast cancer risks.

Using extra-virgin coconut or olive oil instead is a healthier way to cook and prepare food.

6. Microwave Popcorn

While it seems like a convenient snack, microwave popcorn comes with hidden risks. The bags often contain perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), a toxic chemical linked to higher rates of kidney and bladder cancer in people exposed to it. Studies also suggest it may impair fertility in women.

In addition, microwave popcorn frequently contains genetically modified ingredients and preservatives like propyl gallate. Air-popped popcorn or homemade versions using natural oils and minimal additives would make a healthier option.

7. Farmed Salmon

Research shows that farmed salmon contains higher levels of harmful chemicals and cancer-promoting substances compared to wild salmon. These include toxaphene, mercury, dioxins, flame retardants, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), all of which can negatively affect your health.

If you choose to buy wild salmon, always check the label to ensure its quality.

Keep in mind that farmed salmon is generally cheaper, but wild salmon is the healthier option.

8. Potato Chips

Potato chips are more than just a guilty pleasure—they can be harmful. Cooking them at high temperatures creates acrylamide, a chemical linked to higher risks of breast, prostate, ovarian, and digestive cancers. On top of that, chips contain with calories, unhealthy fats, and artificial additives, which can lead to weight gain, high blood pressure, and raised cholesterol.

A healthier option is to make your own at home using olive oil, or try baked alternatives like banana or apple chips.

Queen Elizabeth’s four-word reaction after being told she was going to die

Queen Elizabeth II wasn’t just a monarch to her people, but also their strength and a motherly figure. She led the country for incredible 70 years, so it didn’t come as a surprise that her passing brought immense grief and sadness.

She served her people, many of whom have known no other sovereign, until the very last day of her life.

During her reign, Queen Elizabeth saw 15 different prime ministers, from Winston Churchill to Liz Truss.

When the news of her ill-health was shared in the media on the day of her passing, a huge number of people gathered together and filled the streets of the major cities around United Kingdom as a sign of support. The number of those that arrived at Balmoral Castle, the Queen’s summer residence where she passed away, was even bigger.

Her passing was announced by the Palace on September 8, 2022, at 6.30pm, stating that the queen passed away at 3.10pm.

The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon. The King and the Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow,” the statement read.

The new ruler of the country, King Charles III, spoke emotionally of his dear mother.

“The death of my beloved Mother, Her Majesty The Queen, is a moment of the greatest sadness for me and all members of my family,” he said in a statement.

“We mourn profoundly the passing of a cherished Sovereign and a much-loved Mother. I know her loss will be deeply felt throughout the country, the Realms and the Commonwealth, and by countless people around the world.”

King Charles added: “During this period of mourning and change, my family and I will be comforted and sustained by our knowledge of the respect and deep affection in which The Queen was so widely held.”

At the time of her passing, Queen Elizabeth was 96. After her passing, new details about her health surfaced, including one revealed by former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

In his memoir Unleashed, Johnson wrote about their last meeting, saying the late Queen had been battling a form of bone cancer.

“I had known for a year or more that she had a form of bone cancer, and her doctors were worried that at any time she could enter a sharp decline.” He went on to quote the queen’s private secretary, Sir Edward Young, who told him, “She’s gone down quite a bit over the summer,” before the ex-PM began his last audience as prime minister with her. 

In his book Catherine, the Princess of Wales: A Biography of the Future Queen, author Robert Jobson wrote that the queen was “terribly frail” near the end of her life as she battled myeloma, a kind of bone marrow cancer.

“She struggled terribly with her eyesight and had low vision,” Jobson reported following the Platinum Jubily in June 2022 that celebrated the Queen Elizabeth’s 70th year on the throne. “She even had difficulty lifting a full teapot to pour into her cup.

“[Queen Elizabeth] would get terribly frustrated as she hated causing a mess, pouring it over the tray,” a source added. “She asked for a smaller pot and would get frustrated when the staff forgot and brought the big one.”

Recently, Paul Burrell, who worked as a butler to the royal family for decades, shared more about Queen Elizabeth’s condition and how she handled it. He recalled that doctors had delivered a bleak prognosis, telling her she likely wouldn’t make it beyond Christmas 2021. Still, the Queen defied those expectations.

He recalled that she met the news with four brave words, “Well that’s a shame.”

“Because next year is my Platinum Jubilee year and I’d quite like to have seen that,” she told her doctors, expressing her wish to be with the public for the milestone just months away, according to Burrell.

“Can you keep me alive for that?” the Queen was said to ask.

Further, Burrell told The Mirror, “She endured blood transfusions and scrupulously followed doctors’ orders, giving up her much-loved gin and tonics, gin and Dubonnets and martinis, and instead having apple juice (and tomato juice on a Sunday as a treat) to help extend her life… They kept her alive to witness this landmark (Platinum Jubilee) in her reign, but she knew through it all that she was dying.”

Charlie Kirk’s final words before being assassinated

Charlie Kirk, CEO and co-founder of the conservative youth group Turning Point USA, was assassinated during a university event in Utah. The 31-year-old commentator was speaking before a large crowd at Utah Valley University (UVU) when he was shot in the neck on Wednesday, September 10. 

The news of his tragic passing was shared by President Donald Trump himself. Taking to the social media, Trump, who called Kirk “a very, very good friend,” wrote, “The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead. No one understood or had the Heart of the Youth in the United States of America better than Charlie. He was loved and admired by ALL, especially me, and now, he is no longer with us. Melania and my Sympathies go out to his beautiful wife Erika, and family. Charlie, we love you!”

Kirk frequently shared clips of debates with students on topics ranging from transgender identity and climate change to faith and family values oh his social media and his self-titled daily podcast.

His podcast began with a recording of Trump’s voice, “I want to thank Charlie, he’s an incredible guy, his spirit, his love of this country, he’s done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organisations ever created.”

Kirk’s friendship with President Trump grew after Trump won the elections, with Kirk attending the inauguration and visiting the White House regularly, the BBC reported.

Instagram

At the time the tragedy unfolded, Kirk was responding to a question on gun violence.

“Do you know many transgender Americans have been shooters over the last 10 years?” the individual asked.

Kirk responded confidently, “Too many,” as the crowd erupted in applause.

The individual pushed back, claiming the figure was five, asking how many mass shooters there had been in the past decade.

Kirk’s response was, “Counting or not counting gang violence?” and according to the Daily Mail, those were his last words before a single shot rang out around 12:20 local time.

Panic swept through the audience as he collapsed in his chair, bleeding, while chaos spread across the venue. Authorities said he was rushed to a nearby hospital for emergency care but died roughly 90 minutes later. He is survived by his wife, Erika Frantzve, their three-year-old daughter, and their 16-month-old son.

A post shared by Charlie Kirk (@charliekirk1776)

Married in 2021 in a modest Arizona ceremony, the couple skipped the usual wedding traditions, grounding their union in faith. As Erika once wrote: “Slow down. It’s one day; yes it marks a new chapter of life. Yes, it symbolizes a special covenant between you, your husband and the Lord. But remember it’s the days afterward that matter more.”

Investigators believe the gunman acted independently, labeling the shooting a “political assassination” after they fired from the Losee Center roof, about 200 feet away.

Currently, no one is in custody.

FBI Director Kash Patel stated: “The subject in custody has been released after an interrogation by law enforcement. Our investigation continues and we will continue to release information in interest of transparency.”

People fleeing the scene following the shooting/ AP

Kirk was a vocal supporter of Trump and traditional values. He organized fiery debates on college campuses across the country during his American Comeback Tour. His presence, however, was not without controversy—at UVU, a petition against his visit collected over 7,000 signatures.

Crime and mass shootings were frequent themes in his speeches, always tied to his defense of the Second Amendment. Speaking at a Turning Point USA event in May 2023, he said: “We should have an honest and clear reductionist view of gun violence, but we should not have a utopian one. You will never live in a society where you have an armed citizenry and not a single gun death. That is nonsense, it’s drivel. But I think it’s worth it. I think it’s worth to have a cost of unfortunately some gun deaths every single year, so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God given rights.”

Tributes and condolences for the life lost came pouring in.

Utah Governor Spencer Cox shared his condolences, writing on X: “We are praying for Charlie’s wife, daughter, and son. We will bring to justice the individual responsible for this tragedy.”

Vice President JD Vance added: “Say a prayer for Charlie Kirk, a genuinely good guy and a young father.”

Former President Joe Biden said there is “no place in our country for this kind of violence,” while Barack Obama called the shooting a “despicable act,” adding that he and his family are praying for Charlie and his loved ones.

Among those reacting from Washington were Health Secretary RFK Jr. and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who both expressed sorrow over Kirk’s death.

Instagram

In London, UK Prime Minister Kier Starmer offered condolences, declaring: “We must all be free to debate openly and freely without fear.”

Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni called the killing an “atrocious murder” and “a deep wound for democracy,” while Argentina’s President Javier Milei remembered Kirk as “a formidable disseminator of the ideas of freedom and staunch defender of the West.”

California Governor Gavin Newsom, who once hosted Kirk on his podcast, added: “The attack on Charlie Kirk is disgusting, vile, and reprehensible. In the United States of America, we must reject political violence in EVERY form.”

To honor Kirk, President Trump ordered that flags across the U.S. be lowered to half-staff until Sunday evening.
