Hi, everyone. You know what that music means. For those of you who are joining us on the YT, then you are new this evening. Welcome, welcome, welcome. The folks who are over on the TikTok have been, we've been talking behind the scenes for a while. They've gotten like a little behind the scenes show of me talking to producers, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, talking about do we do subscriptions? What do we do? What happens? Blah, and on and on and on. So thank you so much for joining us. Look, here's the thing. There is so much news going on that we feel like we have to do a show because otherwise you guys would not be informed about certain things because there's so much going on. So we felt like today we had to bring you a live show so that we could inform you.
So if you're joining us now on the YT or on the Insta or on the FB, the book, I'm going to say certain things because then like TikTok gets mad, right, if you mention other things. Send us your, make sure you send your comments. Your comments will go up on the screen on the YT channel. So if you're joining us on all of those, thank you very much. And we really appreciate you being here. So great show this morning. Thank you very much. I'm glad you guys tuned in and make sure you hit the thumbs up. And make sure you hit the screen on the TikTok. Hit the hearts. Look, so there's a couple things that I want to talk to you about. But by the way, before I get to the politics of it all, did you guys see this story?
Tell me if you did. About the CEO of UnitedHealthcare here in New York City. Did you see that? This guy was gunned down in front of his hotel. Can I say that? Can I say that? Someone unalived him in front of the hotel. And they were just starting their big conference, their big healthcare conference or all that. Did you see that? Crazy. You guys saw it, right? And they think it was like a hit job that happened. And what would that be about? Is it like the mob? Like what would that be about? Okay. I don't know. But I think it's – look, it's something that is fascinating to me. I was going to bring it to you guys, but I was not sure if you guys would even be interested in it. And I didn't do that much research.
I've just been putting it on social media and talking about it with friends. I was like, is there enough national interest in this crazy story for people to invest in on this show and watch? His wife is speaking out now saying that he had had threats before. So it's so disturbing. I mean, it reminds me of the old days. Remember the old days when there was like a mob hit, right? And then I disgruntled employees, says Linda Furker. What do you think it is? Let me pull it up. Before I go into everything what's happening here, let me pull this up and talk to you guys about it because I've been talking about it forever. So his name is Brian Thompson. He's the CEO of UnitedHealthcare Group's insurance unit. Fatally, you know, pew-pewed.
Outside of the Hilton Hotel in Midtown Manhattan, that was this morning, what police are saying that it appears to be a targeted hit. What is that? And seriously, because I'm like, is it – does this mean like – like who would want to – did he owe gambling money? I'm just, you know, positing these things. I don't know what it is. And someone said the pew-pew jammed. I don't think it was professional. I don't know. That's what Stella Beadle said. But why would they target? Because there were several people who walked by. If you look at the surveillance video, several people walked by and then – Nothing happened to them, but it appears that they just wanted that guy. Right? They wanted that guy at 6.45 a.m.
So they said, you know, after the news broke on this, outside of the Hilton this morning, appeared to be a target. His wife, her name is Paulette Thompson, spoke to NBC News and revealed that her husband had been receiving threats prior to the shootings. Yes, there had been some threats. It's a quote from her. Basically, I don't know. A lack of coverage? Question mark. I don't know the details that she told NBC News.
