The clips are everywhere.
You know, we're recording this, and it's just happened, so we're just seeing the videos and we're seeing the reactions in real time.
Mm-hmm.
I mean, overall, you take a step back, this feels like the narrative this week is the don't believe your eyes week.
I know we might talk about January 6th.
Multiple stories.
Multiple stories here.
Fitting to that.
Well, this situation is a tragic situation.
The video is horrific.
The details that are coming out about this mother.
I saw images of the glove compartment filled with toys for her child, which is just a harrowing image to see.
Well, it just goes to we're seeing this reaction.
The reaction in real time is a reaction of partisanship and of blame.
with no information, and it jumps over this very human space that we used to have that you would fill with empathy or sympathy when tragedy took place.
A shooting, a death, let's wait and see.
But in that space, in that little space, there's a space where there was a human reaction to it.
We saw this with the Reiner story a few weeks ago, which was horrific and infuriating, and to see the administration jump into that space where you could connect as a human without partisanship.
And they filled that space with just anger, vitriol, and Trump made it all about himself.
And then you see this again, and it's all narrative spinning right away, right away.
