Why it works
Narration starts at 0:00 over topical news footage, while a yellow headline settles in the first second, establishing the argument before the first cut at 0:06. At 1:25–1:32, a tool-versus-surgery metaphor makes conditional reasoning concrete; the 3:02–3:12 replay peak aligns with an import crate, tax bill, shield, and supply-demand graphic. The measured 43 shots undercount edits inside long composite segments, and the supplied six minutes are only part of a longer episode.
