I love everyone. Welcome back to another episode of You're Wrong with me, David

Arsani and Molly Hemingway. If you'd like to write the show, please do at RadioAtTheFederalist.com.

So Molly, I think we need to talk about it something very unpleasant this week, right? The shooting in Nashville.

What was it? The Covenant School? I think it was a Presbyterian school, Christian school.

So school affiliated with the Presbyterian Church.

Okay. It's a horrific incident as all these school shootings are.

But there are a lot of layers here. I think that need to be discussed that sort of are indicative of what goes on in our environment from the political angle to gun control to media coverage of these events to how we deal.

You know, we deal with the perpetrators of these events whose names I never mentioned, you know, I try not to mention, which is another angle. What do we do? What do we do with these events? Do we, you know, do we, do we try to downplay how important they are because we don't want to give the psychopaths sort of attention that they wanted even when they're suicidal and so on. So anyway, there's a lot to unpack. The way you think we should start what area?

Well, even on that topic, there have been movements recently, like in the last few decades as these shootings have increased in prominence to not give attention to the name of the shooter on the theory that this might produce other bad acts similar to that or to not give too much attention to their manifestos for similar reasons.

But it's not evenly applied, first of all, it seems like if a political act can be used to advance the left's agenda, it will get discussed. And if it can't, then it gets suppressed.

And I'm also not sure if we really have good science about what the discussion of these things really leads to. So we're all kind of in a fog and it's all horrible. And I think this, this really hits home for a lot of people.

And I think it's just like the other horrible things that have been involved children, it's just very difficult to process, but important to do so.

And it looks like there is a political component, according to the Nashville police chief. This shooter appears to have been motivated by some, you know, the targeted this school in particular with a manifesto.

And I think it's not only that it might be, it might be associated with her trans activism. We don't know that for sure, but that's, you know, that's what they've suggested thus far. And so it seems worthwhile to talk about it because this is becoming a big issue.

Let's start with the media coverage of this because it is so in raging as usual. So when there's, and let's just go with the idea that this is this was a terrorist attack on a Christian school.

There's a chance it was something else, but it seems right now that that's what it was. So you have this happen. And whenever something there's any kind of left wing violence or potentially left wing violence, then all of a sudden the debate immediately becomes about gun control and why are they allowing guns.

So it starts. If there's any, you know, any even clue that there is an attack like this that the perpetrator was some sort of right wing person, then it right way becomes about rhetoric about Republican rhetoric about all that that's right off the bat. But because this person was trans.

And I think we should get into the media coverage of pronouns. I, you know, apparently if you do something bad, your pronoun goes, you know, pronoun so matter, your identification goes back to how you were born.

But it immediately, you know, also becomes about why did this person do it where they pressured was it because they went to a Christian school, whether it was at their parents not accepting them and so on.

It is it is in raging because no matter what happens, it's always somehow a con the con social conservatives fault that it's that it's going on. And it's very difficult to push back and fight back against this sort of coverage and rhetoric. And it must be very frustrating. I'm not socially conservative, but it must be just very frustrating for that community general.

I'm one of these people who thinks it's actually fine to talk about even guns, you know, after a shooting, I am a strong believer in the Constitution.

I believe the second amendment is key to all of our freedoms.
