It's supposed to work well.
If it's not, hopefully there are good journalists out there exposing what's not working out well.
But it should not be the discourse all the time about whether you're right wing, you're left wing, whether you're with us or not or against us.
And it just taints everything.
and takes too much space.
For other conversations with much more important conversations that we should be having, whether it's about AI, whether it's about social media, whether it's about aliens, there are much bigger problems that are coming in our future.
And we shouldn't be so sort of tunnel focused on whether we're, you know, whether what we're saying is approved by the right or the left or whether this or that.
I mean, I did the initial reporting for Portugal for Portuguese television that day.

I just moved to New York a month before.

I was living on 72nd and Broadway.
Yeah, so I didn't go to ground zero, but I went to Midtown to the rooftop of this building where everybody was doing sort of the satellite live feed.
