9.16.25 The Joe Mangiacotti Show - Tuesday

Today at 1:00 PM on The Joe Mangiacotti Show on WCRN 830 AM, we’re diving into the biggest stories making headlines—stories you won’t hear dissected anywhere else with common sense and clarity.

We’ll start with the shocking developments in the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Tyler Robinson, the accused killer, allegedly confessed in an online message right after the crime—and now the FBI is probing at least seven social media accounts that hinted at or even celebrated Kirk’s murder before it happened. What did they know, and when did they know it?

From there, we shift to Massachusetts politics. Governor Maura Healey is rolling out reforms to the state’s emergency shelter system. Instead of housing migrants in hotels, the state will now hand out up to $25,000 per migrant family per year in rental subsidies—potentially for multiple years. All this while Bay Staters can’t afford groceries or rent. Is this putting citizens last?

Then we’ll cover Boston’s $254 million affordable housing deal that’s raising eyebrows. The contract went to a developer tied to Rep. Ayanna Pressley’s husband, sparking conflict-of-interest questions. Was this deal pushed through because of connections rather than merit?

We’ll also talk about the fallout at Englewood Health in New Jersey, where a surgeon allegedly celebrated Kirk’s assassination in front of staff. A nurse who blew the whistle was suspended, then reinstated, while the doctor has since resigned. Free speech? Hostile workplace? Both?

We’ll honor the legendary Robert Redford, who passed away at 89, remembering his incredible career from Butch Cassidy to All the President’s Men.

On the political front, Turning Point USA is experiencing explosive growth in the wake of Kirk’s death—tens of thousands of new chapter requests and volunteers pouring in, showing his influence on young conservatives is stronger than ever.

And finally, the U.S. Coast Guard makes a dramatic move—burning and sinking a drug smuggling vessel after seizing 13,000 pounds of cocaine in one night. What does this mean for the war on drugs?
