Ben BowlinHOST
And we do know, we do have to say that Robinson may well have been motivated by the, uh, the anti-trans or anti-LGBTQ stances of Kirk and his associates because he was in a romantic relationship with his roommate, who's a transgender individual.
Ben BowlinHOST
Uh, and this coupled with the engraving on the bullet, very similar to the tactics employed by Luigi Mangione when he, uh, when he allegedly assassinated that United Healthcare executive, Brian Thompson.
Ben BowlinHOST
This starts to add up more and more for that angle.
Ben BowlinHOST
We also know Robinson texted his partner confessing to the crime, and the roommate con- uh, cooperated with investigators, with the FBI, had n- said they have no idea what Robinson had planned.
Terrence RayHOST
All right.

Ron RoweGUEST
We've had CEOs assassinated.
Ron RoweGUEST
And so now, even though I've left government service, here at the Chertoff Group, we're focused on helping Fortune 500 companies kind of step through the process of developing corporate security programs because of what happened in December 2024 with Brian Thompson, the UnitedHealthcare CEO who was assassinated in New York City.
Ron RoweGUEST
And we've seen this.
Ron RoweGUEST
It's not just isolated to healthcare.

Joe ConchaHOST
She doesn't have the guts.
Joe ConchaHOST
So I saw that, and I saw what happened to Luigi Mangione, where the guy raises more than $1 million on his GoFundMe page, a guy who shot a man in the back, CEO of UnitedHealthcare, Brian Thompson.
Joe ConchaHOST
And he had two kids as well and a wife.
Joe ConchaHOST
And this guy shoots him in the back because he's not happy about the health care system.
MaryAnn WilburGUEST
But giving voice to all stakeholders, that was the goal of the movie.
MaryAnn WilburGUEST
And I, let's see, we were into, we were just a few months into, not even, we were about six weeks into filming when Brian Thompson was murdered.
MaryAnn WilburGUEST
the CEO of UnitedHealthcare.
MaryAnn WilburGUEST
And it became even more, you know, the few people who are like, I don't think the general public is ready.
MaryAnn WilburGUEST
Matt Zachary described it best.
MaryAnn WilburGUEST
He's like, it's a little concerning, the mere gleeful reaction of the American public.
MaryAnn WilburGUEST
to the murder of Brian Thompson.
MaryAnn WilburGUEST
So in advocacy, and I've been doing advocacy for decades, we say, what makes you angry? Because that's where you start, right? And so it's very clear, the reaction after Brian Thompson's murder tells us the general American public is ready.
Joe ConchaHOST
She doesn't have the guts.
Joe ConchaHOST
So I saw that, and I saw what happened to Luigi Mangione, where the guy raises more than $1 million on his GoFundMe page, a guy who shot a man in the back, CEO of UnitedHealthcare, Brian Thompson, and he had two kids as well, and a wife.

This rich kid who went to a private school in Maryland in high school, then went to UPenn, and graduated from there.
Janie B. CheneyCORRESPONDENT
Luigi Mangione became a folk hero.
Luigi MangioneSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Mangione today telling the federal judge, quote, I shot Mr. Thompson in Manhattan.
Janie B. CheneyCORRESPONDENT
Mangione admitted killing UnitedHealthcare executive Brian Thompson in cold blood.
Janie B. CheneyCORRESPONDENT
For Mangione and his fans, Thompson symbolized the larger problem of accessible health care.
Janie B. CheneyCORRESPONDENT
A well-publicized trial would have plastered his face all over social media and attracted chanting supporters outside the courtroom.
Janie B. CheneyCORRESPONDENT
But because the New York judge has dismissed the state case on double jeopardy grounds, we were spared.
Kevin KajiwaraHOST
As you speak to your, you know, your clients, uh, in this space, and as you speak to your successors leading law enforcement, uh, here in New York City and ar- and around the, around the country, what are you most worried about today? I'm assuming, you know, some sort of spectacular attack akin to the 9/11 one is, is, is, th- that risk is a little bit lower today due to the successful war on terror, the recalibration of the intel community, uh, and, and, and the like.
Kevin KajiwaraHOST
Um, but is it, is it more what's happening in cyber? Is it more the targeting of an individual, like Brian Thompson, the, the, uh, the, the CEO of UnitedHealth, um, uh, subsidiary here, uh, in Manhattan a few years ago? What's, what's the, what's the big concern? Or what do you guys worry about the most?
Bill BrattonGUEST
Let me share several thoughts in response to that question.
Bill BrattonGUEST
Uh, the expression everything old is new again.
Chris SalcedoHOST
The left's devotion to criminals at the expense and exclusion of their victims has been a Democrat staple for decades.
Chris SalcedoHOST
They lionize killers like the person who shot and killed the CEO of UnitedHealthcare, Brian Thompson.
Chris SalcedoHOST
They glorify violence exhibited by Elias Rodriguez, a man charged in the 2025 killing of two Israeli embassy staffers in Washington.
Chris SalcedoHOST
The left characterized the murders as, quote, brave.
John JusticeHOST
Yet the Clancy fan club is not the only recent cohort of crazy.
John JusticeHOST
Luigi Mangione, the 28-year-old man who admitted in federal court that he shot and killed the UnitedHealthcare executive Brian Thompson, has a growing legion of supporters and those who felt that murder was justified.
John JusticeHOST
There's a website where fans can learn how to send Luigi letters and read his statements.
John JusticeHOST
This for a self-confessed killer who left a wife without a husband and two young boys without a father.
