UnitedHealthcare announces new CEO

Kate, it's increased dramatically if we do 100 and 50 to 200 missions *** month, we saw 90 calls for support within the first few days after the uh the killing of Mr Thompson. So it's *** large uptick and it has not let off since then. Absolutely. There is *** significant paradigm shift that's underway and when we look at, you know, before Mr Thompson's killing to where we are afterwards, I agree this, you're not putting the toothpaste back in the tube anymore. And what it looks like is sitting down with our clients and having them understand themselves. They make tough decisions every day and they will alienate part of their population that's going to disagree with them. So we need them to look at their digital footprint. We need them to understand what they look like for those that would take umbrage with them. And then we need to be able to put in place inform digital online threat management and have the entire suite of services ready to support them. We want to see what people are seeing online and if we see *** red flag, something that we think is going to be activated. We at Global Guardian will then immediately send armed executive protection agents to the home to the office, but you have to be able to cover the entire spectrum for our clients and it starts with them knowing themselves, it changes it dramatically. It really puts extra emphasis on this new environment that we're working in. We did not see this after the Atlanta Olympic Park bombings. We didn't see it after Ted Kaczynski. But we're seeing this incredibly different environment that our clients are having to work in now and now it's really getting in and making sure that we have all the bases covered and not just in their hometown, for example, like Global Guardian, we agents in all 50 states and in over 145 countries so that wherever they travel, we can immediately have somebody come in, reduce the risk and take care of any security situation that might arise because people that would want to target them are global, that information they can get on their couch. So we really are working now to make sure that we're making informed decisions with our clients and that they understand their threat profile. This is *** great question. You know, I look at it from, you know, the average person on the street, what do they struggle with every day? On the financial side? You could take credit cards for example, and people find themselves in *** financial fish trap, the fish can swim in but you can't get out. And once they have that perception that they're trapped, they, they're going to project uh the anger or, you know, their frustration on to who they perceive is the reason for their situation. So, when I look across, I, I think student loans, I think credit cards, I think all of those things that frankly are that what's being discussed and stressed over at the dinner table every night by families across the United States and really the world it is. Thank you so much. Thank you, Kate.
