Podcast appearances and mentions of Brian Thompson

Republican divisions over changes to Medicaid — the federal health care program for poor, elderly and disabled Americans — are becoming the chief hurdle to getting President Trump's major tax, immigration and energy agenda through Congress. GOP lawmakers who represent swing districts insist they will not vote for any proposal that strips benefits. But conservatives are demanding deep cuts in spending and say restructuring Medicaid is one of the clearest ways to achieve that goal. Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss whether Republicans will be able to pass the bill despite the hits MAGA supporters on Medicait will take as a result. Plus segments on President Donald Trump dismantling corrupt ex-FBI head James Comey and the Justice Department's recent announcement of an investigation into fraud committed by UnitedHealth, the company formerly headed by slain CEO Brian Thompson. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. Plus a phone call from Gavin Newsom!

Brian chats with Ashlee Sang, a values-aligned brand messaging strategist and consultant who equips visionaries to clarify and amplify their message. Drawing on her background in anthropology, Ashlee brings a values-centered approach to brand development, content creation, and marketing strategy. In this episode, she details common challenges faced by values-driven founders, shares her six pillars of successful brand messaging, and gives a few quick tips to get your brand's story out of your head and into the world. Episode Highlights Mission-driven businesses are “why”-driven businesses. Ashlee defines a mission-driven business as one deeply rooted in its reason for being, also known as its “why.” “A mission-driven business is a group of people, or a solopreneur, who have a really, really clear reason for being -- a really clear why -- that is driving them toward every single decision,” Ashlee said. If the mission is the “why” of the business, then Ashlee's sweet spot is working with the “how” of the business: its values. “Values-driven is the operating system; it's the mechanism,” Ashlee said. “If I can always point back to core values, then I always know it's in alignment.” Businesses evolve through experimentation. Ashlee started her entrepreneurial career as a freelancer on the side while working in nonprofits and NGOs. Through years of experimentation, she discovered and refined her niche of values-aligned messaging and now encourages her entrepreneur clients to embrace their own trials. “No matter how well prepared you are, no matter how much research you've done, no matter how firm your plan is, there are so many other factors at play,” she said. “One of my favorite things about business is we sort of get paid to experiment.” Clear messaging builds clarity and confidence. After more than six years in the business, Ashlee has noticed her clients commonly struggle with feeling too scattered to find the common threads in their work or being too close to their work to articulate it clearly. Clear brand messaging can overcome these challenges because it creates a cohesive experience for clients, partners, and team members. “We can all write an email,” Ashlee said. “We can all slap together something on a website. But are we really going in with intention, thinking about those tiny details and the big picture? … The idea is a lot less important than the experience we're creating for people.” Follow the six pillars for a successful brand messaging strategy. Ashlee defines brand messaging strategy as how a business wants to be known, and she's narrowed a successful brand messaging strategy to six core components: Brand statement Mission statement Values Voice Audience Key differentiators Together, these elements serve as the root system that informs all marketing, operations, and external communications for a business. “I like to think of a brand as a tree, so the messaging strategy is the root system holding everything else up,” she said. “Brand messaging strategy is the focus and intention of the brand you are building.” Resources + Links Ashlee Sang: Website, Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook Brian Thompson Financial: Website, Newsletter, Podcast Follow Brian Thompson Online: Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, Forbes About Brian and the Mission Driven Business Podcast Brian Thompson, JD/CFP, is a tax attorney and Certified Financial Planner® who specializes in providing comprehensive financial planning to LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs who run mission-driven businesses.

Former healthcare executive Wendell Potter reveals how insurance giants sacrifice patient care for profits and deploy deceptive tactics to fight reform.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1151What We Discuss with Wendell Potter:Wendell Potter was a healthcare insurance executive at Cigna and Humana, and became a whistleblower after witnessing Americans seeking healthcare at a fairground in animal stalls, revealing how profit motives override patient care.Insurance companies prioritize shareholder value over patient needs, with executives compensated primarily in stock, directly incentivizing them to deny claims and care to maximize profits.Companies create "front groups" with misleading names like "Healthcare America" to manipulate public opinion against healthcare reform, using fear tactics to protect industry profits.When denied coverage, patients should appeal decisions, enlist their doctors' help, and consider becoming a "squeaky wheel" through media attention, as companies often reverse denials when facing public scrutiny.There is growing bipartisan support for healthcare reform and breaking up massive healthcare conglomerates. By understanding your rights, documenting communications, and persistently appealing denials, you can better navigate the system while supporting meaningful change.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

I examine Cardinal Pizzaball's potential competition in the race to become the next pope. Plus, I discuss updates on the matter of last year's assassination of a lesser-liked Brian Thompson. And I detail the details of my involvement with a famous 1995 murder trial.

The murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson revealed two horrific aspects of American life: A healthcare executive was shot dead, and because he was a healthcare executive, people cheered. Why? Because many feel our health system is broken. Tonight, Dr. Phil explores how a fractured health care system has affected American lives. Angela says after her husband was diagnosed with Stage 4 stomach cancer, their health insurance company refused to cover a necessary procedure to save his life. Kay was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 35, and she never imagined she'd spend 10 years trying to get health insurance to approve needed treatments. Brigham Buhler worked a pharmacy rep for Ely Lilly, but left the industry when he could see how companies prioritized profits over patient access to life savings medications. He now has his own healthcare company, Ways2Well, focusing on prevention.  Dr. Bill Hennessey worked as a physical medicine and rehabilitation physician for years, dealing with frustrated patients who were given delays and denials from health insurance companies. He left to create his own company, Careguide, to help others navigate the healthcare system.

Mangione har hyllats efter dådet och många ser honom som en hjälte. Varför hyllas Luigi Mangioni? Varför väcker fallet så mycket känslor och vad kan vi vänta oss av rättegången?

United Health Care's stock takes a hit as authorizations for medical care are up. Does this have anything to do with the assassination of United Health's CEO Brian Thompson.

As an entrepreneur, you know that every dollar counts, so today we're taking a deep dive into a topic that can save business owners thousands of dollars: deductible business expenses. In this episode, we'll cover what makes an expense deductible, the savings that come with deductions, unexpected deductions, and the importance of bookkeeping. By the end of the episode, you'll have a clear picture of how to make the most of your expenses and keep your money in your business. Episode Highlights Deductible expenses must be ordinary and necessary. Deductions are powerful. Every dollar you deduct reduces your taxable income, directly lowering the amount of taxes you owe. However, in order to deduct a business expense, two key rules must be satisfied: the expense must be ordinary and necessary. To be ordinary, the expense must be common and accepted in your industry, such as a yoga mat for a yoga instructor. To be necessary, the expense must be helpful and appropriate for your business operations. Before you write off something, ask yourself whether a business like yours typically needs this type of expense and does it serve a legitimate business function? If the answer is yes, you may have a deduction on your hands. Don't forget unexpected deductions. While rent and office supplies may come to mind as deductible business expenses, consider whether these unexpected events apply to you: Pet expenses -- If a dog protects your office or warehouse, the dog's food, training, and vet bills may be deductible. Coaching -- Hiring a business coach, taking leadership training, and even going to therapy for stress management related to business all might qualify as expenses needed to run and lead a company. Your home office -- If you have a dedicated space in your home exclusively used for business, you can write off some of your rent, utilities, and internet costs. Marketing and promotions -- Hosting an industry event, running a giveaway, collaborating with influencers, and paying for digital ads all count as deductible expenses as long as they are directly tied to promoting your business. Work-related attire -- Buying branded uniforms or specialized attire for your business are legitimate business expenses. Business retreats -- If you take your team on a business retreat to strategize and improve company culture, that expense could be deductible. Make sure you document the business purpose with an agenda and good notes. Good bookkeeping is just as important as knowing the rules. Without solid record keeping, you might miss valuable deductions or struggle to justify an expense in the event of an audit. Here are some tips to keep your books in order: Separate personal and business finances -- Keeping separate personal and business bank accounts and credit cards makes tracking deductible business expenses much more manageable.  Use accounting software -- Accounting software, such as Quickbooks or Wave, can help automate tracking, helping to ensure nothing gets overlooked when tax season rolls around. Save your receipts -- The IRS requires proof of deductions, so keep digital or physical copies of receipts and invoices. Work with a professional -- A professional bookkeeper or accountant can help you keep your financial records accurate and compliant.

Death Penalty Pursued in Killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO The gunman who shot down one of the most powerful healthcare executives in America may now face the death penalty. Luigi Mangione, the 26-year-old accused of murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson outside a Manhattan hotel last December, is now the target of a federal death penalty case. U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi has formally authorized federal prosecutors to pursue the death sentence—escalating the already high-stakes case into one of the most serious federal prosecutions in recent history. Mangione is currently facing both state and federal charges. The state case, being prosecuted in New York, includes murder and terrorism charges, but those come with a maximum sentence of life in prison—New York doesn't have the death penalty. That's where the federal case steps in. Federal prosecutors have charged Mangione with murder through the use of a firearm, which is a capital-eligible offense. According to Bondi, this wasn't just a murder — it was a public execution. “Luigi Mangione's murder of Brian Thompson — an innocent man and father of two young children — was a premeditated, cold-blooded assassination that shocked America,” she said in a statement. She cited the public nature of the killing, the alleged ideological motive, and the potential danger to others nearby as key reasons for pursuing the death penalty. The attack was chilling in its precision. Just before dawn on December 4th, Thompson left his Midtown hotel and began walking toward the Hilton across the street, where UnitedHealthcare was hosting its annual investor conference. He didn't make it far. Authorities say Mangione, wearing a mask and waiting in ambush, approached and opened fire — in the middle of Manhattan, with commuters and conference attendees all around. When investigators later recovered ammunition allegedly used in the shooting, they discovered something disturbing: each bullet was etched with the words “deny,” “defend,” and “depose.” Those phrases aren't random — they've long been used by critics of the insurance industry to describe how claims are delayed, disputed, and dismantled. Prosecutors say the shooting was more than just personal — it was political. Thompson wasn't just any executive. He had spent over two decades at Minnetonka-based UnitedHealthcare, serving as CEO for more than three years. The company covers over 49 million Americans and brought in more than $281 billion in revenue last year. It's the largest provider of Medicare Advantage plans and manages healthcare for both public and private sectors. Thompson was a major figure in a system both relied on and resented by millions. The murder rocked the business world, but the chaos didn't stop there. Back in Maple Grove, Minnesota — where Thompson lived with his wife and two sons — police responded to bomb threats at homes connected to the family within hours of the killing. Authorities believe the threats were hoaxes, but they sent a clear message: this wasn't over. Mangione fled New York after the shooting, kicking off a multi-state manhunt. It ended five days later in Altoona, Pennsylvania, where he was arrested at a McDonald's. Investigators say he was carrying a backpack with a gun matching the murder weapon and a notebook filled with writings critical of the health insurance industry. He was extradited to New York and has remained in custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn ever since. Since his arrest, Mangione has pleaded not guilty to all state charges. He hasn't yet been arraigned on the federal indictment, but he's agreed to a preliminary hearing under the Speedy Trial Act, which is set for April 18. While the legal case plays out, the killing has already sparked political and cultural ripples. In California, a group has launched what's called the "Luigi Mangione Initiative," a campaign aimed at banning so-called “delay, deny, defend” tactics by insurers. The group condemns violence but says the case has brought overdue attention to insurance industry abuses. As for Mangione, he now stands at the center of a rare and highly scrutinized federal death penalty case, one that's still unfolding in real time. #LuigiMangione #BrianThompson #FederalDeathPenalty #HealthcareIndustry Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

According to Bondi, this wasn't just a murder — it was a public execution. “Luigi Mangione's murder of Brian Thompson — an innocent man and father of two young children — was a premeditated, cold-blooded assassination that shocked America,” she said in a statement. She cited the public nature of the killing, the alleged ideological motive, and the potential danger to others nearby as key reasons for pursuing the death penalty. The attack was chilling in its precision. Just before dawn on December 4th, Thompson left his Midtown hotel and began walking toward the Hilton across the street, where UnitedHealthcare was hosting its annual investor conference. He didn't make it far. Authorities say Mangione, wearing a mask and waiting in ambush, approached and opened fire — in the middle of Manhattan, with commuters and conference attendees all around. When investigators later recovered ammunition allegedly used in the shooting, they discovered something disturbing: each bullet was etched with the words “deny,” “defend,” and “depose.” Those phrases aren't random — they've long been used by critics of the insurance industry to describe how claims are delayed, disputed, and dismantled. Prosecutors say the shooting was more than just personal — it was political. Thompson wasn't just any executive. He had spent over two decades at Minnetonka-based UnitedHealthcare, serving as CEO for more than three years. The company covers over 49 million Americans and brought in more than $281 billion in revenue last year. It's the largest provider of Medicare Advantage plans and manages healthcare for both public and private sectors. Thompson was a major figure in a system both relied on and resented by millions. The murder rocked the business world, but the chaos didn't stop there. Back in Maple Grove, Minnesota — where Thompson lived with his wife and two sons — police responded to bomb threats at homes connected to the family within hours of the killing. Authorities believe the threats were hoaxes, but they sent a clear message: this wasn't over. Mangione fled New York after the shooting, kicking off a multi-state manhunt. It ended five days later in Altoona, Pennsylvania, where he was arrested at a McDonald's. Investigators say he was carrying a backpack with a gun matching the murder weapon and a notebook filled with writings critical of the health insurance industry. He was extradited to New York and has remained in custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn ever since. Since his arrest, Mangione has pleaded not guilty to all state charges. He hasn't yet been arraigned on the federal indictment, but he's agreed to a preliminary hearing under the Speedy Trial Act, which is set for April 18. While the legal case plays out, the killing has already sparked political and cultural ripples. In California, a group has launched what's called the "Luigi Mangione Initiative," a campaign aimed at banning so-called “delay, deny, defend” tactics by insurers. The group condemns violence but says the case has brought overdue attention to insurance industry abuses. As for Mangione, he now stands at the center of a rare and highly scrutinized federal death penalty case, one that's still unfolding in real time. #LuigiMangione #BrianThompson #FederalDeathPenalty #HealthcareIndustry Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Federal vs. State Inside the Legal Battle to Execute Luigi Mangione On December 4th, 2024, UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was gunned down outside a Manhattan hotel in what investigators describe as a targeted, premeditated assassination. Five days later, Luigi Mangione was arrested in a Pennsylvania McDonald's carrying a silenced handgun, fake IDs, and a handwritten journal allegedly filled with anti-corporate manifestos. Now, the U.S. Department of Justice is seeking the death penalty, calling the act a form of domestic terrorism. This is the first federal capital punishment case authorized under the Trump administration's return to executions. In this gripping, three-part investigative podcast, we take you deep inside the crime, the manhunt, and the courtroom drama surrounding the Luigi Mangione case. From the forensic evidence under attack to the growing public movement raising over $700,000 for his legal defense, this is more than a murder trial—it's become a national flashpoint. Supporters call him a symbol of resistance against corporate greed. Prosecutors call him a political assassin. The media calls it a spectacle. But the court has yet to deliver its verdict. If you're following the Luigi Mangione trial, the murder of Brian Thompson, or the federal government's reintroduction of the death penalty, this series breaks down everything—from legal mechanics to cultural warfare.

Wisconsinites are voting in a highly contested race to become the state's Supreme Court justice. The race has become a proxy battle for both liberal and conservative donors who have spent more than $81 million in a contest both sides say will shape the future of the state—and the nation. Meanwhile, special elections are underway for two major congressional districts in Florida.U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi directed federal prosecutors to seek the death penalty for Luigi Mangione, the man accused of shooting and killing the CEO of UnitedHealth Group's insurance division Brian Thompson in New York last year.The House Judiciary Subcommittee on Courts, Intellectual Property, Artificial Intelligence, and the Internet, and the Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government, held a joint hearing on Tuesday to examine the constitutional limits of federal courts, with a focus on recent temporary judgements and injunctions against President Donald Trump's executive orders.

Tune in here to this Tuesday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking about the violation of private property, specifically a man whose Tesla was keyed at Dallas Fort Worth Airport. Brett expresses his outrage over the act, highlighting the importance of respecting others' property and calling for serious consequences for the offender. Brett passionately supports the Tesla owner’s decision to seek a million dollars in damages, suggesting the punishment should be even harsher. Later in the show Brett talks about Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Tuesday that she is directing federal prosecutors to seek the death penalty for Luigi Mangione, the accused murderer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. "Luigi Mangione's murder of Brian Thompson—an innocent man and father of two young children—was a premeditated, cold-blooded assassination that shocked America," Bondi said in a statement. "After careful consideration, I have directed federal prosecutors to seek the death penalty in this case as we carry out President Trump's agenda to stop violent crime and Make America Safe Again." Beth Troutman from Good Morning BT is also here for this Tuesday's episode of Crossing the Streams. Brett and Beth talk about the rising prices of egg whites. They joke about the process of separating egg whites from yolks, with Beth expressing confusion over how egg whites are sold separately and Brett sharing his preference for egg yolks, even suggesting making desserts like pudding or crème brûlée. The conversation then shifts to a more serious matter: a man who had his Tesla keyed at the Dallas Fort Worth Airport. The man is now seeking a million dollars in damages from the perpetrator Beth also shares what She and Bo have coming up Wednesday on Good Morning BT!

Constance Bantman joins me to discuss the history of anarchist political violence through the prism of Luigi Mangione - and vice versa. Some of the questions we cover include:Can the history of nineteenth-century anarchist terrorism help us understand the recent assassination of healthcare CEO Brian Thompson by Mangione, and its rapturous reception in some quarters of public opinion? What is the place of political violence in democracies? And what of Mangione's forthcoming trial?For more historical context, I highly recommend the recent podcast episode of In Our Time about the Haymarket Affair, which features Ruth Kinna: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0023gm2

if you have any feedback, please send us a text! Thank you!We were all shocked by the murder of Brian Thompson the United Health Care CEO in early December. What was just as surprising was the comments deny, delay and depose written on the bullets. Once the alleged shooter was arrested, information started to trickle out that he suffered from low back pain and spondylisthesis. Speculation ran rampant that the problems with his back, inadequate treatment, or repeated insurance denials were in some way the catalyst for this terrible crime. These are not questions we know the answers to, but we thought it would be interesting to explore the causes, treatments and epidemiology of low back pain, especially in young people. Dr. Amber Borucki, a pediatric anesthesiologist and pain specialist from Stanford School of Medicine and Dr. Rahki Dayal, Chair of the CSA's Pain Committee and an anesthesiologist and pain specialist at the University of California in Irvine are joining us today to discuss pain management for back pain. 

Backlash in the wake of the murder of Brian Thompson brings out complaints from dissatisfied patients of MA plans. In the "Your Medicare Benefits 2024" segment, Medicare will apparently cover Social Determinants of Health Risk Assessments. We address an article stating that the health industry is bracing for the arrival of RFK Jr. Finally, we have a complaint about Too Much Medicare Marketing.   Contact me at: DBJ@MLMMailbag.com (Most severe critic: A+)                   Visit us on: BabyBoomer.ORG Inspired by: "MEDICARE FOR THE LAZY MAN 2024; Simplest & Easiest Guide Ever!" on Amazon.com.

Tonight on "Normal World," Dave Landau, 1/4 Black Garrett, and Angela dive into the insanity of modern politics, media spin, and a justice system that's anything but just. Blaze Media investigative journalist Steve Baker shares how he was branded a misdemeanor terrorist for covering January 6, walking through his absurd arrest, the FBI's bizarre surrender instructions, and his full shackled perp-walk — all while real criminals skated by. Baker explains why he pleaded guilty to avoid a rigged trial, gambling on Trump's promise to pardon nonviolent defendants. Instead, his case was dismissed with prejudice, wiping out years of legal battles. The team breaks down how speech — not action — is being used to convict people from the Oath Keepers to the Proud Boys, while House Speaker Mike Johnson's chief of staff smashes into a cop car drunk and faces no real consequences. They also get into Elon Musk's Oval Office visit, federal corruption, and the government's obsession with silencing political opponents. Plus, they unpack everything from golf addiction and Cuban cigars to autism reveal parties and the alleged UnitedHealthcare CEO assassin Luigi Mangione, accused of killing Brian Thompson in New York City on December 4, whose rumored sex tapes have sent the internet into a frenzy.

Guest: Rick Smith, CEO & Founder of Axon (formerly TASER)Being a founder-CEO is a “unique superpower,” says Axon's Rick Smith: People like him get a longer leash from the board to try things that outside CEOs might not.“My job is to push risk into the organization,” Rick says. “If there's a project with a 50 percent chance of success, a 50 percent chance of failure, but it's going to pay 100 to 1, any finance person will tell you, you should take that bet all day long.”One of those bets was the transition from running a weapons company called TASER into a broader public safety firm called Axon, which makes cloud-supported body cameras fro police, tactical drones, AI records management software and more. “If we never have a product failure, then we're not taking risks anymore and we're going to end up getting disrupted,” Rick says.Chapters:(01:09) - Tasers vs. guns (03:35) - Axon's growth (07:09) - Biggest surprises (09:33) - How TASER got started (13:11) - Reinventing the taser (17:24) - A humiliating launch (23:33) - Rick's family (26:14) - The Auto Taser failure (30:21) - The darkest days (34:26) - Hans Marrero (37:25) - Family and burnout (42:49) - Rick's family (45:49) - Pivoting the business (51:37) - Axon body cameras (53:46) - Axon's current products (58:08) - Re-educating the cops (01:02:09) - Pushing risk (01:05:44) - Competing with the gun (01:10:16) - Exponential stock plans (01:14:17) - Who Axon is hiring (01:14:46) - What “grit” means to Rick Mentioned in this episode: UnitedHealthcare and Brian Thompson, Harvard University, human-machine interfaces, Star Wars, Timecop, Star Trek, Jack Cover, Project Apollo, Ed Owen; the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms; Tom Smith, Rodney King, the Sharper Image, Steve Filmer, Phil Smith, Silicon Valley Bank, Emil Michael, Bob Kagle, Benchmark, Norwest Ventures, Molly Wuthrich, Josh Isner, The Terminator, Ferrari, Richard Branson, Burning Man, Steve Jobs, Brenda Smith, Hadi Partovi, Amazon AWS, Microsoft, DraftOne, Ambience Health, OpenAI, Mark Zuckerberg, Michael Brown, Computer Aided Dispatch, Elon Musk and SpaceX, and Luke Larson.Links:Connect with RickTwitterLinkedInConnect with JoubinTwitterLinkedInEmail: grit@kleinerperkins.com Learn more about Kleiner PerkinsThis episode was edited by Eric Johnson from LightningPod.fm

Visit Patreon.com/psychopediapod to join our family of freaks and gain access to exclusive content! On December 4, 2024, 26-year-old Luigi Mangione is reported to have gunned down 50-year-old Brian Thompson, CEO of UnitedHealthcare, on a NYC street using a 3D printed ghost gun. Since then, the public's reaction has been sharply divided, oscillating between condemnation and sympathy. The controversy surrounding the crime at the center of today's case has struck a raw nerve in the national psyche and is as profound as it is polarizing. Luigi has, perhaps inadvertently, become the face of a movement - a symbol of the struggle for an American healthcare system that values human well-being over profit margins. And in many circles, the focus has shifted away from the cold-blooded crime itself to the conditions that may have driven him to commit it.

Well the confirmation process for Trump 2.0's cabinet members has begun, and a clown car filled with barely-functioning senators have already made their presence felt. We will listen to a few clips from that, pick through some other news up front, including the comment Donald Trump made about the need for an External Revenue Service which has made many people hope that this will be the thing that replaces the IRS. Insurance Insider, Chris Hamilton, returns for a brief follow up to the now forgotten December assassination of Brian Thompson, and to make a congressional wish list for industry reform in the coming years.

SEASON 3 EPISODE 82: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: My friend – and what a privilege it has been to call him that – President Jimmy Carter would disagree that he is STILL the lead story, the day after. After all, he might note, he WAS 100, he was in hospice a year-and-a-half, his own grandson said he was in his final days – that was last May 15th. How, Keith, is this a surprise to you? The Braves letting Freddie Freeman leave should have been a surprise to you! He would probably disagree he was the best since FDR, probably arguing that the best since FDR at least got re-elected. I will make my case, and more importantly, my case that the fact he WASN’T re-elected was the beginning of the end. The 1980 election was when I realized America wanted a spokesmodel, not a leader. A fake smile, not principles; often somebody dumber than they were. Even Clinton and Obama and their exceptional presidencies prevailed on charisma. That we turned away a complete human for a mentally diminished bad actor who wasn't that sharp to begin with has set a pattern we may never break before the nation ends. I will also tell the thoroughly satisfying story of how President Carter became my friend, after which there was very little I could point to professionally and say 'I have left this unaccomplished.' B-Block (29:52) NEWS BREAK: Two legal scholars insist that a week from today Democrats in the house must refuse to certify Trump’s election because the specific legislation to disqualify him for insurrection that the Supreme Court demanded in this year’s 14th Amendment case already exists. But on the Washington-focused news site “The Hill” they insist no matter what the Supreme Court says and no matter what the consequences might be, Trump has already been DISQUALIFIED from federal office under the 14th Amendment AND Article Two gives the House sole authority to confirm a presidential election and I will add that while once again I cannot tell you how much this is not going to happen it would be nice to see Democrats do something, something, anything at all, just to peacefully protest what a failed and useless crapshow the government and its supposed protections against dictatorships and authoritarians and foreign control of our government has become – and what a hapless and flaccid vessel the Democratic party has become in the wake of Trump’s treacherous conspiracies to transform and subvert what was our clunky but largely functional form of representative government in, you know, the good old days of yore, like, oh, 2013 and 2014 into a subsidiary of Trump or Musk Enterprises. You know: AmericaX. C-Block (56:20) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: What did you do on Christmas Eve? Go out into the cold, under-dressed, to search for Sasquatch? Last time they'll try that!

Earlier this month, Brian Thompson, CEO of the health insurance company United Healthcare, was murdered in New York City. In the media, there was an outpouring of support for Thompson's family.

The man in the olive green jacket is ready. Today is the day. He's nervously walking through the crowd of New Yorkers to get to his destination.  The last thing he needs is to get stopped by anyone - especially the NYPD.  A man passes by him muttering -  “Bro, idk if you should be doing this but your life choice I guess?” Another citizen points and squeals -  “He's the one! He's the one!” With that.. the man in the jacket smiles. He is contestant number 6 in the lookalike contest for the shooter that killed Brian Thompson. The CEO of United Health Care.  This man just won $50.  How is it that a man is shot and killed in the middle of Manhattan in broad daylight, his body hasn't even been laid to rest yet, and the shooter is still on the run… and yet.  There is a lookalike contest for the killer?
