Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now it's seventen wrs Beat on the Street with Natalie mcgleiori.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
It was one year ago today that United Healthcare CEO
Brian Thompson was assassinated on the streets of New York,
allegedly by Luigi mangione. His trial will start soon. Right
now they're deciding what witnesses and evidence can be used.
(00:27):
So how much are New Yorkers paying attention and what
do they remember of that day. Natalie mcgleori has her
Beat on the Street now.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Good morning Natalie, Good morning Larry.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Luigi Mangioni's third day in court for hearing falls exactly
one year after the twenty seven year old allegedly shot
United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson in front of the Midtown Hillton.
I was on the scene that morning and back there
this morning, asking people if they still think about this
case day. Keith says he actually works in the hotel
(01:03):
where Thompson stayed.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
But if he had come to the hotel where our work,
kat and do that his crime. Crime is terrible and
he didn't think about people that's around, and he just
go and killed him in crazily and open the air.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Like that be ones.
Speaker 5 (01:16):
I don't remember that you got to kill the guy, Chuck,
But unfortunately, I don't think New York has the debt finalty,
So pretty much he's gonna sit in jail forever and
probably get a pen pal and get married in jail
and have commissary and conjugal visits, and nobody will ever
remember it. I mean, at the end of the day,
the CEO guy was still a guy, a family guy.
(01:37):
You may not like his decisions, but the fact is
he's still a human. So the same people that cry
of people are humans. It's only when it's convenient for them.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Yeah, that guy mapping out Luigimanngioni's potential time in prison
if convicted, while Mangioni is accused of mapping out the
shooting bucks beforehand, allegedly stashing a getaway by I got
the block from the crime scene and quickly escaping New
York City. Altogether with nearly one and a half million
dollars donated to a fund created in Mangioni's name, New
(02:10):
Yorker still wouldn't call those people a fan base. Some
aren't holding back.
Speaker 6 (02:15):
Though defining it as a fan base is not correct.
I would say it's probably just a collective group of
people who are extremely frustrated.
Speaker 7 (02:23):
Unless you do something extreme, it's you're completely ignored.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
You know, crime is crime, murder and murder. It could
be another way to solve this instead of actually kill
the man.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
You know, they're nuts, playing a shimple. They're just nuts.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
And when it comes to where all of Mangioni's support
comes from.
Speaker 6 (02:43):
I think it's probably just civil unrest and people who
are desperate in situations where they want to see change.
And again, I don't condone it in any way, shape
or form, but to some extent I understand the frustration
given the complete debacle of healthcare in this country.
Speaker 7 (02:57):
I think that just speaks where our society is now.
You know, it was like a lot of bad things
keep happening, so people that are struggling, and I guess
they're getting tired of it.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
There's no understanding killing is killing.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
It ain't like this CEO came into his house in
the middle of the night and killed his parents.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
That would be a different story. A business decision shouldn't
give you one immediate.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Death sentence, but it's the driving factor here. Larry to
this shooting one year ago was the state of the
healthcare system. Do people think anything has changed and were
they even paying attention to healthcare before this.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
Much about the healthcare and how messed up it is.
When this happened. That's when I find out how healthcare
actually is and stuff like that, what's going on behind
the scene.
Speaker 7 (03:40):
But I think there should be changes. Obviously that was
because someone felt like the health care system did them wrong.
But I don't think that they're making any changes to
make it better.
Speaker 6 (03:49):
I've seen it on the news, but I haven't really
thought about it from that perspective. You'll obviously healthcare is
still a massive issue in this country.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Healthcare sucks, plain and simple.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
I mean, I have healthcare with a seven thousand dollars deductible,
so just to go to the hospital, I got to
lose it on just to have stuff start to get coved.
He's definitely got to change here, But I don't have
the answer as far as free. Definitely ain't it.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
There you have it, you know. The officer who arrested
Mangioni has been in court recounting how he found him
sitting alone in that McDonald's and now Tuna, Pennsylvania after
receiving a report from the manager at that McDonald. Larry
and Mangioni's lawyers are really now trying to argue what
will and will not be used in court. They really
don't want the murder weapon or Mangione's journal used. So
(04:34):
we'll really see what happens, what comes of these hearings,
and what the judge decides. But there is this group
of supporters Larry, who think he's or think that the
suspected shooter, whoever that is, or the alleged is justified
in this.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Yeah, although I have seen the people that have been
out there, and I think you were right in calling
them the fan base. I mean they're chanting his name.
If not, this has no social aspects. They just like him,
that's what it is for. It's weird. It is really
really weird. So the person that said I wouldn't call
them fans, please just check some video. Just go and
(05:13):
watch them, right, have you seen them? Natalie McLeroy is
going to be back tomorrow morning at eight point fifty

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
