What are the shocking details about the CEO killer?
Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east. I'm Megan Kelly. Welcome to The Megan Kelly Show and happy Wednesday. We are learning new and disturbing details about the accused healthcare CEO killer as his manifesto and other chilling writings become public. This comes amid more bizarre displays of praise for this guy, Luigi Mangione, from those who are positioning him as some kind of Robin Hood figure. I'm over it. I'm really over it. that psychosis by some faction of the American populace. Just, you know what, like Dr. Leonard Sachs is here in just a few minutes. I mean, this is the parenting expert. He's an MD, he's a PhD. He has spent his life studying longitudinal long-term studies of children and actually practicing with children. And he actually knows a thing or two about psychology. And one of his main takeaways is have dinner with your children. Have family dinners. In a perfect world, seven nights a week. But as many nights as you can, even if it's short of seven.
Someone needed to do that in the families of the people who are now praising this guy as a Robin Hood figure. You're an idiot. By the way, heard this from our pals over on the editors. The guy... The Brian Thompson who was murdered, the CEO who was murdered comes from no privilege. His dad was totally self-made. I think he was a farmer. And this guy, Brian Thompson, was totally self-made, pulled himself up, got himself to the top of the insurance world. The killer accused is from enormous privilege, tons of dough, the family owned country clubs, radio stations, health facilities, went to some Tony Boy's school for 40 grand a year, valedictorian, UPenn, Ivy League, all the advantages, all the breaks.
And yet he's supposed to be the Robin Hood? He's the one we're supposed to be rooting for? Screw you. It don't have the time. My mom always used to say, I cannot respond to irrational behavior rationally. And that is how I feel when I look at these morons trying to talk about this guy like he's some sort of our hero, this Luigi dude. All right, so Dr. Leonard Sacks is going to be on in one second. But first, we want to get into some of the psychology of this guy and how on earth this could possibly happen. Like, how could this have gone down by a guy with that kind of pedigree who turns into a killer if what the police say is correct? And for that, we bring on Candace DeLong. She's a former FBI criminal profiler. She worked on cases like the Unabomber, the Tylenol murders.
We spoke to her on episode 466 about the Idaho murders. So you may be familiar with Candace's work. When they first recruited her over at the FBI, she was a head nurse over at Northwestern University. And then she went on to work, as I said, on some of the most prominent cases in America. She's hosted the award-winning podcast Killer Psyche with Candace DeLong. Are you ready to challenge yourself and dive deeper into the ideas that shape America?
