0:00.0	Sup, you beautiful bastards. Welcome back to the Philip DeFranco show. You daily dive into the news.
0:05.7	Today is Wednesday, December 4th. There is a lot of news to talk about today. But the first thing we have to
0:10.9	talk about today is that the CEO of United Healthcare was shot and killed in a premeditated attack in
0:16.1	Midtown Manhattan. It all happened early Wednesday morning with the CEO, Brian Thompson,
0:20.4	walking outside the Hilton Hotel on 6th Avenue as he was arriving at an investor conference.
0:24.1	And the suspect then shooting him in the back and in the leg coming up from behind.

1:15.3	Plaza.
1:15.9	And as of now, with that, it'll go on as planned with a massive security presence.
1:19.3	And all of this, his reports say that it appears Thompson was unaware that he was in any danger
1:22.7	as he had no security detail.
1:24.0	However, you also have the New York Times reporting that he had recently received several threats, though the nature of those threats are still being investigated. With it also
1:29.8	being reported, this is actually fairly common for CEOs of health care companies because of their
1:33.3	line of work. And his wife telling NBC News that there had been some threats, basically, I don't
