During the interview, Lorenz expressed that her feelings towards the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson were complex, stating, "I do believe in the sanctity of life and I think that's why I felt, along with so many other Americans, joy, unfortunately." Morgan challenged her, asking how one could feel joy over someone's execution, and she later clarified, "Yeah, I take that back. Joyful is the wrong word." This conversation highlighted the tension between personal feelings about healthcare injustices and the morality of celebrating violence.
Morgan pressed on the moral implications of Lorenz's feelings. He stated, "This guy is a husband, he's a father, and he's been gunned down in the middle of Manhattan. Why does that make you joyful?" Lorenz countered with a heated argument, saying, "So are the tens of thousands of Americans that he murdered! So are the tens of thousands of Americans, innocent Americans, who died because greedy health insurance executives like this one push a policy of denying care."
