33
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 3: United Healthcare CEO's tragedy first and foremost recipees piece, very

34
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 3: tragedy situation that happened, as we can Manhattan and man

35
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 3: It's multi layered conversation. But from a business standpoint, what

36
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 3: is the impacts on not just United Healthcare, but you know,

37
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 3: I guess the industry as a whole.

38
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 2: I think.

39
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 4: Companies overall have to go back to finding ways to

40
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 4: do good business that is good for the consumer. When

41
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 4: I saw this happen, and there's so many layers to this,

42
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 4: but when I read that they have an AI agent

43
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 4: that denies ninety percent of people's plans.

44
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 2: It's not good.

45
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 4: Of course, it make United Healthcare ton of money, but

46
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 4: ultimately it could be one of the reasons why he

47
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 4: lost his life. This reminded me like John Q for

48
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 4: those of you who have seen that movie. But the

49
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 4: year twenty twenty four I showed a lot. But I

50
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 4: think with corruption, with the economy typening would there being

51
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 4: a lot of uncertain The companies that do good are

52
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 4: going to benefit incredibly well, and those that are not

53
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 4: are going to have a price to pay. So you

54
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 4: have to find a way to do right by your

55
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 4: audience customer based client base while maximizing profit. And this

56
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 4: is why in video Apple Meta they are hitting record

57
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 4: highs because they found enough of a balance to do that.

58
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 2: But for healthcare companies that are not doing well, I mean.

59
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 4: It's sad, but the other executives have to have their

60
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 4: profiles removed and not being targeted. But a bunch of

61
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 4: these issues in healthcare have been rampant for forty years.

62
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 4: In twenty twenty four, most of America felt how Black

63
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 4: Americans felt almost on every issue at one time. We've

64
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 4: been going through this endless denials and premiums being too high.

65
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 4: So when you have mass discrimination like this, it is

66
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 4: going to have some blowback. But God rest his soul,

67
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 4: prayers and blessings to his family. To even have that

68
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 4: shown on social I think was disgusted. But companies are

69
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 4: going to have to make a change to do a

70
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 4: lot better or this is going to happen a lot

71
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 4: more often.

72
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, it definitely, I mean rest in peace and condolences

73
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: to his family, his loved ones.

74
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 2: It's unfortunate.

75
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: Definitely felt targeted, felt a little bit retaliatory in a sense,

76
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 1: right when you when you start seeing the details of

77
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: the shells having messages on them. But it started I

78
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 1: started thinking about the danger of being in the healthcare profession, right,

79
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 1: which is why the retaliation from the industry was like,

80
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 1: let's remove our executive bios. Uh, let's take our executive

81
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: boards down, let's stop telling exactly what they have to be,

82
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: especially if they're gonna have a board meeting, because he

83
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: was going to speak in front of the investors, right,

84
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: and so that's public that's public information. The interesting part is,

85
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: like you're the CEO of a company, there is you're

86
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: walking by yourself. So I mean security detail especially in

87
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: that position because you're right. When a company like Nvidia

88
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 1: might have a delay on black well, it's like, all right,

89
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 1: that's a tech issue, right, or Apple has a delay

90
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: on something that feels different. But you start playing with

91
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: the healthcare of people, and you start denying premiums, and

92
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 1: you start there was one report that you know, there

93
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 1: was an ANCGIA coverage that they weren't going to cover

94
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: anymore for certain surgeries. These are now affecting not just

95
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 1: one or two. You're talking about millions of people's lives

96
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: and they have nobody to talk to, right, Like it's

97
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: you know, you're talking.

98
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 2: To the bill collector.

99
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: The doctor is going to tell you go to the insurance.

100
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 1: And so now the people that are ahead of these

101
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: companies almost become targets in a way, right if you

102
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: start looking at it that way. And so an event

103
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,359
Speaker 1: like what happened last week, unfortunately has happened and you

104
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: don't want to see more of it, But you're right, like,

105
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: there's there's certain business practices. After a certain while, it's like,

106
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: we got to get these things in line right so

107
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 1: that the public feels safe, they feel like they're being

108
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 1: taken care of, because what's the point of it, right,

109
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: if the customer at the end of the day feels like, hey,

110
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,919
Speaker 1: this isn't beneficial for us anymore, things like this can happen.

111
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I put it in stock club.

112
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 4: But he had over ten thousand instances of people being

113
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 4: denied coverage.

114
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 2: Ten thousand, like, look how many lives.

115
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 4: And even with that, with his murder, what did it

116
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 4: take for him being murdered for another company to say,

117
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 4: now we're going to cover your anesthesia. What So, let's

118
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 4: look at the rest of the companies. If they're doing

119
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 4: it at the highest level, one of the biggest publicly

120
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 4: traded companies in the world, what about the lower tier

121
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 4: players that are not publicly traded and discrimination has happened.

122
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 4: But we've heard these stories in our community forever. It's

123
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 4: just no one listened to us. Now it's becoming mainstream.

124
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 2: Yeah for sure.

125
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 3: Well, you know, like I said, it's fortunate situation, but

126
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 3: it is protocol for Fortune five hundred, one hundred, Fortune

127
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 3: one hundred company CEO to have security. We've witnessed that firsthand.

128
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 3: So that was a breaking security And that's why you

129
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 3: need security because you know, if you run an any

130
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 3: type of company, when we met lad we made black enough,

131
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 3: he had security.

132
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 2: You know, so.

133
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 3: Any type of public profiigure you're you're liable to, you know,

134
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 3: have some some issues or to try to get you know, kidnapped.

135
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 3: Anything can happened. So that's definitely a lapse in security.

136
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 3: I think that that's something that they're going to have

137
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,239
Speaker 3: to answer for the company. I'm sure that the family

138
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 3: is going to have questions about why he didn't have

139
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 3: security right like walking down the street by himself, like

140
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 3: you know, you should probably not that should have never happened.

141
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 4: But how did they know he would be out there

142
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 4: at the time for that. Maybe we'll talk about it

143
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 4: on Blackout. But there's a lot of fishes. I'm gonna

144
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 4: stop there. Don't worry.

145
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 2: God gave it his call for a reason.

146
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 5: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child

147
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 5: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from El Salva

148
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 5: accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with

149
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 5: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just

150
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 5: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President

151
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 5: Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy nom the United States

152
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 5: Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border

153
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 5: crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over

154
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 5: one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you

155
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 5: are here illegally, your next you will be fined nearly

156
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 5: one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned, and deported. You will

157
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:39,440
