Transcript

00:00:00.000 All right, guys, we are just going all day today. You're getting three hours of Candace content because there's so much happening in the world. Obviously, we just covered the fall of Syria. Super important. If you have not watched that, go back and watch it. Two hours with Scott Horton. Just very crucial that Americans understand what's happening in the Middle East now because we are implicit and complicit and everything that goes on.
00:00:18.680 But anyways, we have to talk about Brian Thompson. I wanted to talk about the Brian Thompson. That's the United Healthcare CEO who was assassinated. Crazy story. I'm going to explain to you guys that are overseas why this story has really gripped the nation. Well, now they have named someone who they believe is the killer. So we're going to call him at this time the alleged killer of Brian Thompson. And believe it or not, and I believe it, he's an Ivy League student who liked the Unabomber, who was another Ivy League student.
00:00:47.760 And it's getting very interesting and MKUltra-y. Let's jump right into this. Welcome back to Candace.
00:01:08.760 All right, so let's just sort of begin with a recap. And like I said, I have so many listeners from around the world who don't quite understand the American healthcare system.
00:01:16.580 And you might've been startled to see that some people were celebrating or glad that the CEO of a healthcare company was murdered and in a very sadistic way, really.
00:01:28.020 So let's just start with me trying to explain that emotion, which just to be very clear, I do not share it. I will never condone murdering people, vigilante system, none of that.
00:01:38.080 But it's important for you to know that America's healthcare system is in fact a drug cartel, okay?
00:01:43.660 It's a partnership between the government and private insurance companies to basically price gauge.
00:01:49.540 They make ordinary procedures that should cost hundreds of dollars, tens of thousands of dollars.
00:01:55.180 So it is not capitalist. You will see people speaking about, well, capitalism and free markets, it's a failure.
00:02:00.260 Look at the healthcare system. No, that is not an example of the free market system, okay?
00:02:04.180 What is the free market? Ladies and gentlemen, in a free market scenario, you should obviously know how much something costs.
00:02:11.020 That's pretty basic, right? You walk into a store, a shirt says, it's $100. You say, oh no, that's way too expensive for a t-shirt.
00:02:18.020 I'm not paying that. So you walk out of that store and then you walk across the street to a different store and it says, hey, we sell t-shirts for 20 bucks.
00:02:24.880 And you say, sold. Okay, so the guy next door who's got it for $100, he's either going to lower his prices or he's going to go out of business.
00:02:31.880 That's how a fair free market environment works, okay?
00:02:35.860 In the healthcare industry, you walk into a doctor's office. You have no idea how much anything costs.
00:02:40.700 They can't tell you, sorry. They can only tell you how much things cost after you have had the procedure.
00:02:46.600 You get sent a bill and your insurance company pays maybe some of it and then you kind of have to pay the rest.
00:02:52.720 You pay deductible towards that bill that you don't know how much it's going to cost into the future.
00:02:56.520 And you basically have to keep paying your insurance company in advance of you even getting ill or getting sick.
00:03:03.860 And your insurance company also tells you exactly which doctors you're allowed to go to.
00:03:09.040 You can't shop. You can't be like, well, I think this doctor's right.
00:03:11.300 It's like, no, this is your healthcare plan. These are the doctors that you can go to.
00:03:15.760 And of course, they're doing all of these deals behind closed doors and the patients are completely blindfolded, okay?
00:03:21.960 So what happens if you had just removed these insurance companies?
00:03:25.180 What happens if you had removed these major insurance companies like Brian Thompson United Healthcare?
00:03:32.220 Well, everything good is what would happen.
00:03:34.280 A great example of that is laser eye surgery.
00:03:36.760 So that procedure used to be covered by insurance and it therefore used to cost tens of thousands of dollars
00:03:43.360 because they're like, we're making up the prices as we go along.
00:03:45.420 Ha, ha, ha, $30,000.
00:03:47.480 Then the insurance company said, you know what?
00:03:49.160 We're not going to cover that anymore.
00:03:50.240 We're not going to cover LASIK eye surgery because we consider it to be cosmetic.
00:03:54.980 So guess what happened?
00:03:56.280 Doctors started competing.
00:03:58.120 Yeah, you had to walk into the store, you'd see the price and the doctors had to compete with one another.
00:04:01.800 Today, the average price of LASIK eye surgery for both eyes is just $4,100.
00:04:07.940 That is the average price, 2023, $4,100 for both eyes.
00:04:13.300 That's incredible.
00:04:14.100 That really is incredible.
00:04:15.100 And I wanted to explain that to listeners because like I said, you may not be aware, it's a drug cartel.
00:04:19.500 And so you have this guy, Brian Thompson, okay?
00:04:22.720 Brian Thompson was, is, was the CEO of UnitedHealthcare.
00:04:27.760 They're a big guy, big fish.
00:04:29.380 He was preparing to host the company's annual healthcare conference, which was taking place at the New York Hilton in Midtown.
00:04:36.520 He was set to announce the company's hugely profitable $450 billion projected revenue for 2025 because they're just stealing from people who don't have money, who can't afford procedures.
00:04:48.660 They're owing their healthcare companies because they suddenly got sick.
00:04:51.340 It is terrible.
00:04:52.540 And here's the reality.
00:04:53.440 When you understand that it's a drug cartel, you also have to accept that sometimes in drug cartels, people get murdered, okay?
00:05:00.360 I know that people are wearing suits, but what they're doing is in fact criminal.
00:05:03.380 I am really against everything that is happening.
00:05:06.220 Hopefully RFK Jr. will shake things up.
00:05:08.600 But anyways, back to our timelines.
00:05:09.880 You've got Brian Thompson.
00:05:10.780 And he normally is accompanied by his in-house security, which is paid for as a part of the job by UnitedHealthcare.
00:05:20.200 So imagine you work as a CEO of a healthcare company and they're like, we're going to pay for you to have round the clock, around the clock security.
00:05:27.120 Like that's, that's what the executives get as a part of their package, around the clock security.
00:05:31.020 Now, if you're wondering why would an executive need around the clock security, if they're in the health industry, it's because cartel lords make enemies.
00:05:38.880 And they understand that.
00:05:39.580 That's implicit in them giving the security package.
00:05:42.220 So for whatever reason, on this particular day, his in-house security was not with him that morning, despite the fact that they did travel with him from Minnesota to New York City.
00:05:52.620 He lives in Minnesota.
00:05:53.620 That's where his family lives.
00:05:54.580 But for whatever reason, and that has not been made clear yet, they were not with him in the morning when he was made to be hosting and speaking at this conference to talk about how much more money they were going to make scamming the public.
00:06:05.700 And at 6.45 a.m., he was supposed to begin his remarks at 8 o'clock a.m., absent his security detail, Brian emerges from that Hilton hotel in Midtown.
00:06:15.800 And curiously, there's a killer lurking who seemed to know exactly which direction Brian would be emerging from.
00:06:22.300 And he's just loitering nearby the exit.
00:06:25.320 He then fires three times from behind.
00:06:28.200 And we can't show you this video.
00:06:29.280 I wish we could.
00:06:29.880 I don't see why not.
00:06:30.680 It's news.
00:06:31.140 We could obviously say, like, you know, but this is, I mean, it's violent.
00:06:35.620 But it's important for people to see this because Brian's walking away and he shoots at him.
00:06:39.360 And then his gun gets jammed.
00:06:41.160 He instantly unjams it and he shoots at him twice more.
00:06:44.360 And at 6.48 a.m., the suspect was then seen riding an electric bike in Central Park.
00:06:52.380 And that had been the last known sighting of the suspect.
00:06:56.020 We've since then learned from CNN that he, the killer, alleged killer, dropped a phone, dropped a bottle of water in an alleyway nearby.
00:07:05.580 Very quickly thereafter at 7.12 a.m., so that shooting took place at 6.45, by 7.12 a.m., Brian Thompson was pronounced dead at the hospital, according to the police.
00:07:16.640 Obviously terrible, but then things get really crazy.
00:07:19.340 Because authorities then found engravings on the bullets that were used by the assassin.
00:07:25.980 And the words that were engraved onto these bullets were deny, depose, and defend.
00:07:33.540 Words which are eerily similar to a 2010 book which condemns the insurance business.
00:07:39.680 And that book is entitled Delay, Deny, Defend.
00:07:44.020 Subtitle, Why Insurance Companies Don't Pay Claims and What You Can Do About It.
00:07:48.040 So that tells us this guy targeted him for a reason.
00:07:51.100 He is correct that, yes, it is all fraudulent and we should change the system.
00:07:55.780 But no, we don't just go murdering people.
00:07:57.400 That's not the way that we do that.
00:07:59.860 Going back into our timeline, at 11.20 a.m., the New York PD released images that were taken at a hostel on the Upper West Side of an unmasked person of interest wanted for questioning in relation to the shooting.
00:08:12.220 Now, this is funny because at the time the internet was going, this doesn't look like our guy.
00:08:16.860 Anyway, the backstory of this is at the hostel, despite the fact that this man wore a mask the entire time, he took down his mask to flirt with the front desk lady.
00:08:25.700 I think she said, like, let me see your face.
00:08:27.340 And he, like, smiled.
00:08:28.260 And so it is very, like, men always come apart with women.
00:08:32.920 It's just, like, interesting that that is how we were able to get this image.
00:08:35.760 It's because he was flirting with the front desk lady or she was flirting with him, whatever it is.
00:08:38.760 Anyway, so they say this is the guy that we're looking for.
00:08:41.700 And the officials began extensively canvassing all of the video nearby, again, led them to that hostel in Upper Manhattan.
00:08:50.020 The employees at that hostel said they remembered him.
00:08:53.120 They remembered him particularly because he was wearing that hooded jacket, which was identical to the shooters.
00:08:59.040 And because he never lowered his mask, save that one point, police sources also told ABC News that the man was flirting with the woman who checked him into that hotel.
00:09:08.640 The hotel's name, by the way, is High New York City Hostel on West 103rd Street in the lead up to the killing.
00:09:14.180 And, like I said, when she said, let me see your smile, that's when he pulled on his mask.
00:09:17.980 That is how we got that image.
00:09:20.000 Now, there was much to do about his backpack, a peak design backpack that was recovered in Central Park by the NYPD that allegedly belonged to the suspect.
00:09:30.520 It only had two items inside of it, a Tommy Hilfiger jacket and Monopoly money.
00:09:34.800 So this kind of made it clear of why people were recognizing correctly that his jacket had changed, that the jacket at the hostel did not match the jacket, which we're going to show you.
00:09:45.900 They were able to get some images of him at the Starbucks across the street or next to the Hilton Hotel, and he's wearing the jacket that he's wearing when he shoots.
00:09:53.960 But you see that jacket right here that we're showing you, that's him at the Starbucks.
00:09:57.320 There's no pockets on the side, whereas the jacket, when he is at the hostel, has two pockets on the side.
00:10:04.880 Can we do a side-by-side of that, guys, so we can see?
00:10:07.260 I don't know if we have it.
00:10:07.900 Yeah.
00:10:08.340 So you can see those jackets don't exactly match, and that threw the public off, but that now we were afforded this explanation that he perhaps changed his clothes, changed his jacket, if the jacket that he used on the scene was still in the backpack.
00:10:20.360 Now, jumping back into Brian Thompson, a private funeral for the CEO was held.
00:10:28.820 Obviously, the family had been devastated.
00:10:31.320 People were trying to—we're just wondering exactly, like, what exactly happened here?
00:10:35.960 There were a lot of questions surrounding his wife.
00:10:39.440 Like I said, people are then starting to theorize on the Internet, talking about the discrepancies between the jackets.
00:10:44.580 And I can tell you, people then started to look closer at Brian's personal life.
00:10:48.300 Like, maybe this has nothing to do with health care at all, they thought.
00:10:50.980 Maybe this has to do with a personal situation.
00:10:55.020 Well, a little bit about Brian Thompson.
00:10:56.440 He's a University of Iowa graduate.
00:10:58.120 He began his career as a certified public accountant.
00:11:00.540 He didn't really have name recognition beyond the health care industry.
00:11:05.280 But then, obviously, he became very big.
00:11:09.160 And at the age of 50, he had worked for the UnitedHealthcare Group for 20 years
00:11:13.740 and had run the insurance arm since 2021 after running its Medicare and retirement business.
00:11:20.520 And as the CEO, Thompson led a firm that—just so you guys are aware,
00:11:24.700 UnitedHealthcare provides health care coverage to more than 49 million Americans, myself included.
00:11:29.800 And I can tell you, this is a scam business.
00:11:31.640 There's no question about it.
00:11:32.500 That business, run by Thompson, brought in $281 billion in revenue last year.
00:11:40.780 They were projecting even more.
00:11:42.720 And yet, the health care recipients have never been more unhappy.
00:11:46.000 So what does that tell you?
00:11:47.540 We also know that he himself was being paid, Brian Thompson, $10.2 million annually.
00:11:54.280 That was his pay package.
00:11:55.340 It includes his salary, his bonus, as well as some stock options and awards,
00:11:59.720 which made him one of the company's highest-paid executives.
00:12:03.120 Now, regarding his wife, people were theorizing that maybe she put a hit on him.
00:12:07.420 And that's because his wife, a woman named Paulette, Paulie Thompson,
00:12:11.480 and him had actually been living in separate homes less than a mile from one another
00:12:15.880 in Maple Grove, Minnesota, for years.
00:12:18.340 The Wall Street Journal reported that, and it got the conspiracy minds going on the internet.
00:12:22.500 They had two children together.
00:12:23.840 He purchased a separate home from her, a million-dollar home near his family,
00:12:27.720 so that they could obviously be close enough to raise their children.
00:12:32.240 Paulette spoke out.
00:12:33.240 She said she was devastated.
00:12:34.400 She doesn't know what happened, but she did say that there were some people that had been
00:12:39.240 threatening him.
00:12:40.360 She also issued a statement saying that Brian was an incredibly loving, generous, talented man
00:12:44.880 who truly lived life to the fullest and touched so many lives.
00:12:48.580 Most importantly, Brian was an incredibly loving father to our sons and will be greatly missed.
00:12:54.500 Now, here's where things get a little bit weird.
00:12:59.240 In 2021, when the insurer, like its competitors, UnitedHealthcare, was widely criticized for a plan
00:13:07.340 to start denying payment for what it deemed non-critical visits to the hospital emergency
00:13:12.960 rooms.
00:13:13.820 So essentially, you arrive at the hospital and they can just decide whether or not afterwards,
00:13:17.780 again, afterwards, because that's how it all works.
00:13:19.580 It's afterwards.
00:13:20.120 You're blindfolded.
00:13:20.860 But actually, no, we don't really think that you should have gone to the hospital,
00:13:25.180 so we're just going to deny you coverage.
00:13:26.500 And so you're just going to get stuck with a $10,000 bill because part of this price gauging
00:13:30.280 is like you go to CVS and you look at Tylenol and Tylenol says it's $100 a pill.
00:13:35.800 You're going to go, no, I'm good.
00:13:37.960 I don't need Tylenol for $100 a pill.
00:13:40.500 I can't afford that.
00:13:41.520 The hospital, they just give you stuff and don't tell you how much it costs.
00:13:44.000 Then you look and they're like, no, that's $100 a pill.
00:13:45.920 And now you owe us $10,000 for a hospital visit that you were at the hospital for one
00:13:51.060 night.
00:13:51.300 I mean, it's that insane, guys.
00:13:52.540 I'm not kidding.
00:13:53.760 So UnitedHealthcare took this position that they were going to decide after like, play
00:13:57.480 with people's entire financial lives.
00:13:59.320 They said, quote, patients are not medical experts and should not be expected to self-diagnose
00:14:03.960 during what they believe is a medical emergency.
00:14:07.680 It's incredible.
00:14:08.220 That's what the chief executive of the American Hospital Association wrote in open letter that
00:14:11.900 was addressed to Thompson, essentially threatening patients with a financial penalty if they
00:14:18.040 made the wrong decision.
00:14:21.060 Insanity, just absolute insanity.
00:14:22.480 You go to the hospital because you think it's an emergency, obviously.
00:14:24.740 And if it ends out not being an emergency and it's not life-threatening, then great.
00:14:28.040 You're like, okay, amazing.
00:14:29.060 And you're only going to the hospital because there's so few doctors that you can even go
00:14:32.520 to under your insurance plan.
00:14:34.300 You've got to follow the doctor hours.
00:14:35.940 Doctor then has to be available, especially as you get into the lower tier of coverage.
00:14:39.920 They have way too many patients because people don't have the money to be able to afford
00:14:43.380 the bigger plans and they therefore are not paying enough.
00:14:48.780 And they have so many patients in the waiting room, they can't even get an appointment for
00:14:52.400 months.
00:14:53.180 So that's why they're going to the hospital.
00:14:53.880 They can't even get an appointment.
00:14:55.300 I'm really telling you, I mean, it's awful.
00:14:57.380 Okay.
00:14:58.240 Anyways, I'm going to pause there because now I'm going to tell you a little bit about the
00:15:01.980 alleged killer, I will say.
00:15:04.180 Uh, but first I'm just going to, uh, kick it to one of our advertisers, Goldco, because
00:15:09.480 we're, we're all wondering what they have in store for president-elect Donald Trump.
00:15:12.360 Are they going to crash the economy before he gets into office?
00:15:16.260 Are they going to kick off World War III?
00:15:17.740 It certainly looks that way.
00:15:19.060 I don't know what they're up to, but I'm also not waiting around to find out.
00:15:21.820 And I don't think that you should either, which is why you should go to CandaceLikesGold.com
00:15:25.160 to learn about my partners over at Goldco.
00:15:26.980 They are the precious metals company that I trust.
00:15:29.440 They're top rated.
00:15:30.220 They have impeccable customer service and they have supported this show since the very
00:15:33.720 beginning.

00:15:42.500 You could also get a 10% instant match and bonus over on qualified orders.
00:15:46.260 I don't want you to miss out on this.
00:15:47.680 And this is a great way to help support the show.
00:15:50.000 All you have to do is go to CandaceLikesGold.com.
00:15:52.320 Again, that is CandaceLikesGold.com.
00:15:55.780 Okay.
00:15:56.740 So the assassin.
00:15:57.460 Long story in the middle there about how they caught him.
00:16:02.040 Obviously, I told you he got on a bike and then it turns out that he got on a bus.
00:16:05.300 At one point, they were fishing into a lake that people thought, are we looking for a
00:16:09.040 dead body?
00:16:09.540 Is the assassin dead?
00:16:10.720 Are they looking for items that he may have dropped off on the way?
00:16:13.420 This guy essentially disappears from Manhattan where there's like a camera on every single
00:16:17.260 block and people are going, this is very suspicious.
00:16:19.280 What we didn't expect, what we did not expect was for this individual to be an Ivy League
00:16:26.240 graduate.
00:16:27.220 Okay.
00:16:27.500 Again, we're saying allegedly, obviously we believe in due process.
00:16:30.820 He has not been brought in officially.
00:16:34.400 We are, he hasn't gone through due process at all, but the would-be assassin, the alleged
00:16:39.480 assassin is a young man named Luigi Mangione.
00:16:43.840 Okay.
00:16:44.740 Luigi.
00:16:45.380 Let me tell you a little bit about this guy that you're looking up on the screen right
00:16:47.400 now.
00:16:47.620 He is 26 years old.
00:16:50.140 He is, he bills himself as anti-capitalist.
00:16:53.400 He's an Ivy League graduate.
00:16:55.100 He was taken into custody.
00:16:56.420 Here is the story of how.
00:16:57.820 I don't know if McDonald's is having the best or the worst year ever, but after all of that,
00:17:01.740 making it, making it out of New York City, able to assassinate someone.
00:17:07.200 And then you're good.
00:17:07.800 This manhunt ensues.
00:17:09.500 You want to know what broke him?
00:17:10.620 He needed to get something from McDonald's.
00:17:11.660 He was hungry.
00:17:12.000 And he went to McDonald's and an employee in, which is a hundred miles East in Pennsylvania.
00:17:16.680 He was in a town called Altoona and employee recognized him.
00:17:20.880 He was like, I am seeing this guy.
00:17:22.380 I'm obviously following the story.
00:17:23.360 People are obsessed.
00:17:24.080 It's like a true crime narrative here.
00:17:25.740 We'd never seen anything like this.
00:17:27.240 Someone just getting assassinated like this and how cool he was.
00:17:30.320 I should also remark if this is the alleged killer, uh, Luigi was incredibly calm and collected
00:17:35.560 as he unjammed his gun and then took a couple of more shots and really just kind of strolls
00:17:40.880 away.
00:17:41.280 So we're thinking, is this tactical?
00:17:43.580 Is this like somebody that's working for the deep state?
00:17:46.060 I don't know.
00:17:46.560 He seemed way too calm.
00:17:48.320 Well, that's how they caught him.
00:17:49.640 Just a McDonald's employee was like, I recognize this person and I'm going to phone this in.
00:17:54.260 Okay.
00:17:54.820 What is being reported thus far is that he had a 3d printed ghost gun, similar to the one,
00:18:02.180 um, that was used on Wednesday morning against Brian Thompson.
00:18:05.300 So they were able to find that on him along with a gun silencer, plus a manifesto.
00:18:11.280 And four fake IDs when he was arrested.
00:18:15.200 I am flagging that as weird, very suspicious because how does a 26 year old get four fake
00:18:21.360 IDs?
00:18:21.920 Like I said, he seemed calm.
00:18:23.200 He had a plan of action.
00:18:24.140 I don't know what is going on here.
00:18:25.400 What we know about him thus far, Luigi, again, alleged killer is that he's originally from
00:18:31.280 Towson, Maryland.
00:18:32.860 He, as I said, bills himself as an anti-capitalist, former Ivy league student.
00:18:37.180 He was the valedictorian at his high school.
00:18:40.120 This is not when you open up your yearbook and you think, what is this person going to
00:18:44.620 be in the future?
00:18:46.160 You never think the valedictorian is going to be an assassin.
00:18:48.800 Like that's not something that really crosses your head.
00:18:50.660 Right.
00:18:51.140 I think the big Ramaswamy was a valedictorian high school.
00:18:53.160 He was no one.
00:18:53.740 That's what you expect valedictorian to go do.
00:18:55.960 Like maybe go run for president one day, not to be an assassin, especially someone that
00:18:59.560 then goes to an Ivy league school.
00:19:01.560 Okay.
00:19:01.920 We have learned that Luigi has ties to San Francisco.
00:19:05.860 He used to live in Honolulu, Hawaii.
00:19:08.000 I'm interested in that.
00:19:09.460 There's a lot of stuff that goes on in Hawaii.
00:19:11.740 He has not yet been charged in connection to the death of Thompson, but he was arrested
00:19:17.160 on firearm charges on Monday after that elderly McDonald's worker spotted him inside that restaurant
00:19:23.800 in Altoona, Pennsylvania.
00:19:24.860 We're showing you a photo of him that he apparently just loves McDonald's because this is another
00:19:28.740 one of him smiling with Lion King.
00:19:31.920 The NYPD commissioner, Jessica Tish said that members of the Altoona police department arrested
00:19:37.500 him on firearm charges.
00:19:39.520 And she said, quote, at this time, he is believed to be our person of interest in the brazen,
00:19:44.840 targeted murder of Brian Thompson.
00:19:46.920 Thompson was gunned down in midtown Manhattan.
00:19:48.660 Obviously, as we have already told you, this guy, Luigi, does not appear to have any criminal
00:19:55.600 history.
00:19:56.040 Again, not something that people were expecting.
00:19:59.080 Police said that his name was not on their radar at all until that arrest in Pennsylvania
00:20:04.760 at that McDonald's.
00:20:06.260 And as I said, he was found with that gun and also wearing the clothes that match the
00:20:10.740 description of the suspect.
00:20:11.600 And that is why she phoned it in.
00:20:13.080 Now, a little bit more about him and his Ivy League career.
00:20:15.640 He attended UPenn, the University of Pennsylvania, where he gained a degree in engineering in 2020.
00:20:22.620 Before that, like I said, he was a valedictorian of Gilman School in Baltimore, where tuition
00:20:28.240 costs $40,000 a year.
00:20:30.040 So that signals to us that he comes from money.
00:20:32.800 His family is likely going to have some status.
00:20:34.920 A lot of times you see people that go to UPenn, their families are connected in some way.
00:20:38.980 Uh, and so this is, this is not the typical profile that we have come to expect.
00:20:46.040 He, people are now crawling through his social media and they have found that Luigi, again,
00:20:51.340 this is our alleged suspected killer, posted at least half a dozen quotes from the homegrown
00:20:57.880 terrorists who plagued the nation for nearly 20 years with homemade bombs.
00:21:02.040 That would be Ted Kaczynski.
00:21:04.140 Now, this gets me into my conspiracy brain.
00:21:07.300 Now, Candace has on her conspiracy hat because Ted Kaczynski was an MKUltra recipient, okay?
00:21:14.500 So Ted Kaczynski, just so we're clear, he also attended an Ivy League school, okay?
00:21:19.260 He went to Harvard and he was drafted into this MKUltra program.
00:21:23.900 So he did this really bizarre thing.
00:21:26.040 He was a mathematics prodigy, abandoned his academic career in 1969.
00:21:30.340 And it turns out that, yes, the Unabomber, all the things that he did, he was an MKUltra
00:21:36.460 recipient.
00:21:37.020 We cannot forget that the universities were the ones that were employing these experiments.
00:21:41.100 I am now very interested in that, how this guy's life took a turn and he turned into a
00:21:46.740 vigilante for something that he would never have to worry about, healthcare costs, because
00:21:50.060 he likely had some money.
00:21:52.880 He also, like I said, took a liking to Ted Kaczynski.
00:21:57.140 There were even more odd facts about this case.
00:22:00.680 For those of you that are following it, Brian Thompson, the victim of the case, was accused
00:22:06.620 of insider trading and fraud before he was assassinated.
00:22:10.280 Last year, the DOJ launched a probe into whether the private company of a nation's biggest insurer,
00:22:15.380 led by Thompson, was unfairly restricting competitors and running a monopoly.
00:22:19.580 In May, the City of Hollywood's Firefighters Pension Fund initiated a complaint against Thompson
00:22:24.580 and other executives, the complaint accused the CEO of failing to tell investors about
00:22:28.640 the federal probe before he unloaded over 31% of his stock, taking in $15.1 million in
00:22:35.380 proceeds.
00:22:36.180 So people are asking the question, like, do we have a kid who maybe was seeing a psychiatrist,
00:22:41.540 MKUltra style, and they somehow activated this kid to go kill this CEO so that he would
00:22:47.860 never testify because he knows where bodies are buried?
00:22:50.240 We're talking about a monopoly.
00:22:50.940 Now, of course, like, what's going to happen if Brian Thompson was being investigated by
00:22:54.340 the DOJ?
00:22:55.260 Is this case going to still go on?
00:22:56.700 We don't know.
00:22:57.420 Again, we're just putting on our conspiracy hats for fun because we're allowed to think
00:23:01.100 and you have permission to think about this case.
00:23:02.740 This is not a typical candidate for a brazen assassination.
00:23:09.360 In legal documents, the fund said that Thompson and other company execs sold over $117 million
00:23:14.580 worth of UnitedHealthcare common stock during the four-month period when they knew that the
00:23:20.600 federal antitrust investigation was going on, but the public did not.
00:23:24.060 So Brian Thompson was under some heat.
00:23:26.420 Could this be related to why Brian Thompson went and shot him?
00:23:29.920 We don't know.
00:23:31.500 But this is crazy.
00:23:32.280 This is very interesting.
00:23:33.480 All right, you guys, just going to very quickly throw it just once more to another one of our

00:24:33.060 All right, guys, I want to quickly jump into your comments before I hop off because I've been
00:24:35.920 speaking to you guys all day.
00:24:37.380 I just wanted to quickly give you this update to see what you guys think.
00:24:40.360 Okay, in the chat, one person is saying, I am not buying that.
00:24:43.080 This is the guy.
00:24:44.020 I think it's the guy.
00:24:45.780 I think it's actually the guy.
00:24:47.960 And I am questioning what programs he was involved in.
00:24:51.660 I want to know more about his family.
00:24:53.040 I want to know about who his father is.
00:24:54.660 Was his father one of the people that was potentially being burned because of this monopoly?
00:24:57.960 Why fixate on, again, a problem that you would not have?
00:25:01.440 Because obviously, you're the cream of the crop, right?
00:25:04.740 You've risen to the top.
00:25:05.780 You're a valedictorian.
00:25:06.960 Your whole life is set before you.
00:25:08.660 What makes you turn into a radical?
00:25:10.380 What actually radicalized you?
00:25:11.860 I believe that the university campuses are what's radicalizing so many of these students,
00:25:16.700 right?
00:25:17.080 Personally.
00:25:17.940 And I know, because I know my history about MKUltra, because I've read chaos,
00:25:21.960 I know that these tend to be CIA breeding grounds.
00:25:25.660 Many of these university campuses that you would never suspect were involved in the MKUltra
00:25:30.680 program.
00:25:31.240 And it's important to learn about that piece of America.
00:25:33.900 Read that book, Chaos.
00:25:34.900 I tell you to read it all the time.
00:25:36.500 Really important to read it.
00:25:38.780 This person writes that he was probably bored.
00:25:41.920 This person says gender studies for sure.
00:25:43.680 No.
00:25:44.240 Engineering.
00:25:45.020 You got it.
00:25:45.280 He's a brilliant guy.
00:25:46.420 This is no dummy.
00:25:48.060 So he thought through the consequences.
00:25:49.620 He thought through everything that he was doing.
00:25:51.080 I don't think he's doing this because he wanted to be famous.
00:25:53.860 This then brings us to the Boston bombing, all the strange connections to the FBI.
00:25:57.600 I just don't trust him.
00:25:59.380 My instinct is saying that there's a lot more to the story.
00:26:02.300 We wanted to update you guys because this is happening right now.
00:26:05.340 I'm wondering if someone helped him plan that escape.
00:26:07.960 If he just made a mistake by going into McDonald's.
00:26:10.460 Hey, listen, I love a quarter pounder as much as the next person.
00:26:13.220 But I feel like if you assassinate someone in broad daylight, like maybe don't do that.
00:26:16.900 Wearing the exact same outfit that you are wearing, not the most brilliant move at all.
00:26:20.320 Did he want to get captured?
00:26:22.720 Are they going to kill him before he can testify?
00:26:24.840 Are they going to kill the guy that killed the guy?
00:26:26.540 I don't know.
00:26:27.580 But I'm saying, you guys, hang on because it's getting incredibly interesting.
00:26:32.420 This person says this is an MKUltra operative drone Manchurian candidate.
00:26:36.860 Yes.
00:26:37.240 None of that stuff is conspiracy.
00:26:38.860 Learn the truth about the history of MKUltra.
00:26:40.720 Learn about Ted Kaczynski.
00:26:41.740 And it is shocking to see how so many people were just being experimented on.
00:26:45.660 And they were uniquely picking people that were genius.
00:26:49.480 That's why this sends a chill down my spine that he was a Ted Kaczynski stan.
00:26:53.860 That's why it makes me uncomfortable.
00:26:56.540 And, you know, vigilante justice is never the answer.
00:26:59.120 It is sad that his sons, Brian Thompson's sons, will grow up without a father.
00:27:05.460 Brian Thompson is a victim.
00:27:06.740 Brian Thompson also victimized a lot of people.
00:27:08.620 I want to say that as well.
00:27:10.280 Never an excuse to be celebrating the death of someone in broad daylight.
00:27:13.240 It's just wrong and it's backwards.
00:27:14.920 But I hope that I've at least given you guys a clear picture on what exactly is that's going on.
00:27:19.100 We're going to stay on top of the story.
00:27:20.760 But I just wanted to give you that quick update now that you've had three full hours of Candace today.
00:27:24.320 We'll see you next time.
