Today at 1:00 PM on The Joe Mangiacotti Show on WCRN 830 AM, we’re diving into three explosive stories that all point to the same uncomfortable question: Can you still trust the institutions that run this country?
First, nearly five years after January 6th, the feds have finally arrested a suspect in the D.C. pipe bomb case. We’ll break down who he is, what we actually know about the evidence, how conservative outlets are covering it, and what this means for the long-running questions about the FBI, surveillance tools, and the true nature of that day. Is this a long-overdue win for law and order—or too little, too late for an agency that let the pipe bomber case hang over the country for half a decade?
Then we turn to Obamacare fraud on steroids. A new investigation shows fake people and phony Social Security numbers getting a 100% success rate in securing ACA subsidies, dead people still receiving taxpayer-funded coverage, and one SSN allegedly tied to years’ worth of coverage in a single plan year. We’ll talk about how a program that was sold as “affordable care” has morphed into a subsidy machine for insurers, scammers, and ghost enrollees—while your premiums and deductibles keep going up.
Finally, we go to Minnesota’s Feeding Our Future scandal, where COVID relief fraud and welfare abuse reached into the hundreds of millions—and now, according to federal prosecutors, some of the defendants allegedly tried to bribe a juror with a Hallmark gift bag stuffed with $120,000 cash. We’ll walk through the details: the surveillance of the juror, the alleged plan to plant a GPS tracker on her car, the racial manipulation angle, and what it says about the culture of impunity when people get rich off government programs and then try to buy the justice system itself.
All of this ties back to the core themes of the show: sovereign citizens, limited government, the rule of law, and real accountability. Are we still a constitutional republic… or just a very expensive piñata for people who know how to game the system?
