Luigi Mangione, the suspected shooter in the murder case of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, was frustrated with the "corporation and greed" of the healthcare industry ... this according to his handwritten manifesto.

00:00So, if there was any doubt that what Luigi Mangione is accused of doing is starting some

00:08sort of movement, you just look in the streets of New York City, there is an alarming sign

00:13that that is exactly what he has started.

00:16So you know, of course, Luigi was arrested, he is the man who was accused and charged

00:22with the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, which happened a week ago in New

00:28York City.

00:29And on those very same streets, not far really from where the murder happened, there are

00:33posters going up, really they're all over the city.

00:37And they're wanted posters, not for Luigi, but for, as you see there, Brian Thompson

00:43and other CEOs, that particular video there shows CEOs of healthcare companies, but there

00:51are others going up around the city.

00:53This one, Andrew Witte, is a man whose name is already out there.

00:57He is a CEO of another division of UnitedHealthcare.

01:02And there was a video that he had recorded internally for employees, and that leaked

01:09the other day, and he has since been getting threats against his life.

01:15And now you see these posters going up with other people.

01:18It is scary.

01:19Right.

01:20And you see Brian Thompson, him crossed out, as in mission accomplished, and these are

01:26the next CEOs that we need to kill.

01:29It's shocking.

01:30It's crazy.

01:31And that's exactly right, guys.

01:32I think these posters clearly show the deep divide right now as far as reaction goes to

01:38this.

01:39And the fact of the matter is, Luigi has admirers, Luigi has supporters.

01:42They're bitter about the health insurance agencies, and they don't feel apparently all

01:47that bad that somebody lost their lives, and they feel that perhaps it sent a message.

01:51Not even bad, they've celebrated it.

01:54Yeah, the other alarming part of this, and we are trying to get video of this, but we're

01:59told by people in New York City that those wanted posters, they're not going after targeting

02:05insurance people.

02:06Now in the financial district, according to law enforcement sources, they have seen posters

02:11going up for CEOs of financial firms.

02:15This is potentially so bad for our society.

02:19If there's something wrong with the healthcare system, I think we can all agree that it's

02:22probably broken and it needs reform.

02:24That does not mean you murder someone in cold blood.

02:27Where do you then draw the line, Charles?

02:29You know what I mean?

02:31If you disagree with something, you just go out there and kill them, and it's no problem.

02:36And Babcock, you're exactly right, because the executives, these companies, we know for

02:40a fact that they are calling private security.

02:42They are beefing up their security.

02:45They are afraid.

02:46The message that some of these supporters are sending, it's being heard loud and clear,

02:51and you're right.

02:53That message, I think, was put out there on maybe one of the largest platforms in media

03:00right now.

03:01Joe Rogan was talking about the fallout of Brian Thompson's murder, and this was his

03:07theory as to what motivated Luigi Mangione, and it does fall in line with a lot of what

03:16we're seeing online.

03:18This is what Joe Rogan had to say.

03:19I don't think this guy was a professional.

03:21I think this guy, if I had to guess, some guy would be f***ed over.

03:25Apparently, that company is really bad on denying claims.

03:2934% denial rate, something like that?

03:32Almost like 16.

03:33Yeah.

03:34Yeah.

03:35So, those guys.

03:36I don't think anybody's going to be crying too hard over that guy.

03:40Maybe his family, but that's about it.

03:42It's a dirty, dirty business.

03:44The business of insurance is f***ing gross.

03:47It's gross.

03:48And especially healthcare insurance, just f***ing gross.

03:52That is almost not even part of the debate anymore.

03:55What Joe said at the end there, the debate is about how you handled it, how you addressed

04:01that, and what Luigi Mangione allegedly did, a lot of people, I think, rightly feel is

04:08not the path we want to go down, but as we're seeing these wanted posters going up, it raises

04:14concerns now.

04:15Yeah, and when you have more and more people like Joe, Charles, kind of giving, I don't

04:19know.

04:20Well, he's just sharing his opinion.

04:21So, I don't want to, I'm not putting anything on Joe.

04:22No, and I like Joe.

04:23I'm a big fan of Joe.

04:24And all he did was say what people have said about the healthcare industry.

04:27I want to get to Luigi Mangione real quick, because there's a lot we've learned about

04:31him now.

04:32He, as we showed you yesterday, went into court for a bail hearing.

04:36Not shockingly, they denied him bail, and also he says he's going to fight extradition.

04:43Also, his lawyer says he's going to plead not guilty.

04:47What's interesting about that is that the manifesto, there are now details about this

04:51manifesto that he had on him when he was arrested, and in the manifesto, he says a lot of things,

04:57including telling the feds, I want to make this easy on you.

05:01I worked alone.

05:02He doesn't say, I did it, but he says, I worked alone.

05:05No co-conspirators.

05:07Some other details from the manifesto here, he says, and it's clear what his anger is

05:12about.

05:13He says, I do apologize for any strife or traumas, but it had to be done.

05:16Frankly, these parasites simply had it coming.

05:20United is the, indecipherable, the largest company in the US by market cap, behind only

05:26Apple, Google, and Walmart.

05:28It has grown and grown, but has our life expectancy.

05:33The reality is these companies, I think, have simply gotten too powerful, and they continue

05:38to abuse our country for immense profit, because the American public has allowed them to get

05:42away with it.

05:44Those words, which he even pointed the authorities to a notebook that had more details, so he

05:53has those words, but his attorney is saying he's going to plead not guilty.

05:56By the way, the answer to his question is, yes, life expectancy has risen.

06:00Does it mean there's not a problem again with the healthcare industry?

06:03It doesn't mean that Luigi Mangione takes it into his own hands and goes and brutally

06:08murders somebody in cold blood on the streets of New York City.

06:10I think it's so gross.

06:11I mean, look, this amounts to basically a confession in the manifesto.

06:14It doesn't look like he's running away from this crime.

06:16It looks like he wants a platform, as a matter of fact.

06:18When I saw him walking out of that car, the fact that he's fighting extradition, the fact

06:21that he plans to plead not guilty says that this kid wants a spectacle.

06:25He wants to have a platform to espouse his views about this particular issue, and he's

06:30gotten it.

06:31I mean, this is the biggest story in America.

06:32You're right that it is the wrong sort of ends justifying the means approach, but it

06:37certainly has gotten a conversation started, and I think that's exactly what he wanted

06:41to happen.

06:42Hi, my name is Amanda.

06:43I'm from Orlando, Florida.

06:45There's no secret that the American healthcare system is very corrupt.

06:48What Luigi did, he sent out a message.

06:51So right now, any CEO in America should be shaking in their boots just a little bit.

06:57That's the thing.

06:58It's like, yeah, you want them to be-

06:59You can't normalize it.

07:00You want them to be shaking in their boots about changing and being better for their

07:04customers?

07:05Right.

07:06Do you want them fearing for their lives?

07:07No.

07:08Stop.
