Nah, it's older than that, it's 1-2 episodes ago. The first episode of this season was in July, and the Master Debater episode was early August. The last one was about City Popup Store, Labubu, exploitation/manipulation of children via social media, and tariffs
Given the Master Debater episode and the events of this week, the next episode is probably going to be wild!
Context is important.
“I want to thank my fellow Utahns. You know, this bad stuff happens. And for 33 hours, I was praying that if this had to happen here that it wouldn’t be one of us — that somebody drove from another state, somebody came from another country. Sadly, that prayer was not answered the way I hoped for — just because I thought it would make it easier on us, if we could just say, ‘Hey, we don’t do that here,’ and indeed, Utah is a special place. We lead the nation in charitable giving. We lead the nation in service every year. But it did happen here, and it was one of us.
One of us = a Utah resident.

I watched the press conference (admittedly at about 1am) and I don't remember hearing him say this. I'll watch it again today.
The majority of his talk was around walking back violence and not responding to hate with hate. The only thing I really faulted him on was claiming that there was only one person responsible: the shooter. This completely absolves Kirk (and his ilk) of the divisiveness the fuckwit(s) caused, and the path to fascism that they've helped build.
Some of the things he claimed Kirk said to him are odd for a guy that believes empathy is made up, but who knows how much of this was an act for Kirk vs actual beliefs. In reality, it doesn't matter - the resulting radicalised youth and increased divisiveness is the same either way.
Edit: Think I found it. Context is important.

"An Eagle never misses" though. Tough choice.
