  Speaker 3: United Healthcare CEO's tragedy first and foremost recipees piece, very
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: tragedy situation that happened, as we can Manhattan and man
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: It's multi layered conversation. But from a business standpoint, what
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: is the impacts on not just United Healthcare, but you know,
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: I guess the industry as a whole.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: Companies overall have to go back to finding ways to
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: do good business that is good for the consumer. When
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: I saw this happen, and there's so many layers to this,
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: but when I read that they have an AI agent
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: that denies ninety percent of people's plans.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: It's not good.
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: Of course, it make United Healthcare ton of money, but
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: ultimately it could be one of the reasons why he
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: lost his life. This reminded me like John Q for
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: those of you who have seen that movie. But the
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: year twenty twenty four I showed a lot. But I
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: think with corruption, with the economy typening would there being
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: a lot of uncertain The companies that do good are
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: going to benefit incredibly well, and those that are not
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: are going to have a price to pay. So you
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: have to find a way to do right by your
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: audience customer based client base while maximizing profit. And this
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: is why in video Apple Meta they are hitting record
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: highs because they found enough of a balance to do that.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: But for healthcare companies that are not doing well, I mean.
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: It's sad, but the other executives have to have their
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: profiles removed and not being targeted. But a bunch of
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: these issues in healthcare have been rampant for forty years.
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: In twenty twenty four, most of America felt how Black
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: Americans felt almost on every issue at one time. We've
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: been going through this endless denials and premiums being too high.
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: So when you have mass discrimination like this, it is
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: going to have some blowback. But God rest his soul,
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: prayers and blessings to his family. To even have that
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: shown on social I think was disgusted. But companies are
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: going to have to make a change to do a
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: lot better or this is going to happen a lot
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: more often.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it definitely, I mean rest in peace and condolences
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: to his family, his loved ones.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: It's unfortunate.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Definitely felt targeted, felt a little bit retaliatory in a sense,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: right when you when you start seeing the details of
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: the shells having messages on them. But it started I
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: started thinking about the danger of being in the healthcare profession, right,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: which is why the retaliation from the industry was like,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: let's remove our executive bios. Uh, let's take our executive
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: boards down, let's stop telling exactly what they have to be,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: especially if they're gonna have a board meeting, because he
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: was going to speak in front of the investors, right,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: and so that's public that's public information. The interesting part is,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: like you're the CEO of a company, there is you're
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: walking by yourself. So I mean security detail especially in
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: that position because you're right. When a company like Nvidia
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: might have a delay on black well, it's like, all right,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: that's a tech issue, right, or Apple has a delay
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: on something that feels different. But you start playing with
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: the healthcare of people, and you start denying premiums, and
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: you start there was one report that you know, there
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: was an ANCGIA coverage that they weren't going to cover
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: anymore for certain surgeries. These are now affecting not just
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: one or two. You're talking about millions of people's lives
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: and they have nobody to talk to, right, Like it's
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: you know, you're talking.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: To the bill collector.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: The doctor is going to tell you go to the insurance.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: And so now the people that are ahead of these
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: companies almost become targets in a way, right if you
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: start looking at it that way. And so an event
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: like what happened last week, unfortunately has happened and you
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: don't want to see more of it, But you're right, like,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: there's there's certain business practices. After a certain while, it's like,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: we got to get these things in line right so
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: that the public feels safe, they feel like they're being
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: taken care of, because what's the point of it, right,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: if the customer at the end of the day feels like, hey,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: this isn't beneficial for us anymore, things like this can happen.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I put it in stock club.
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: But he had over ten thousand instances of people being
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: denied coverage.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Ten thousand, like, look how many lives.
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: And even with that, with his murder, what did it
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: take for him being murdered for another company to say,
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: now we're going to cover your anesthesia. What So, let's
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: look at the rest of the companies. If they're doing
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: it at the highest level, one of the biggest publicly
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: traded companies in the world, what about the lower tier
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: players that are not publicly traded and discrimination has happened.
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: But we've heard these stories in our community forever. It's
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: just no one listened to us. Now it's becoming mainstream.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah for sure.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, like I said, it's fortunate situation, but
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: it is protocol for Fortune five hundred, one hundred, Fortune
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: one hundred company CEO to have security. We've witnessed that firsthand.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: So that was a breaking security And that's why you
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: need security because you know, if you run an any
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: type of company, when we met lad we made black enough,
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: he had security.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: You know, so.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: Any type of public profiigure you're you're liable to, you know,
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: have some some issues or to try to get you know, kidnapped.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: Anything can happened. So that's definitely a lapse in security.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: I think that that's something that they're going to have
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: to answer for the company. I'm sure that the family
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: is going to have questions about why he didn't have
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: security right like walking down the street by himself, like
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: you know, you should probably not that should have never happened.
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: But how did they know he would be out there
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: at the time for that. Maybe we'll talk about it
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: on Blackout. But there's a lot of fishes. I'm gonna
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: stop there. Don't worry.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: God gave it his call for a reason.
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from El Salva
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy nom the United States
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: are here illegally, your next you will be fined nearly
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned, and deported. You will
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: never return. But if you register using our CBP home
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: app and leave now, you could be allowed to return legally.
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: Do what's right, leave now. Under President Trump, America's laws,
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: border and families will be protected.
