4.15.25 The Joe Mangiacotti Show - Tuesday

THE JOE MANGIACOTTI SHOW — OPENING MONOLOGUE — APRIL 15TH, 2025

Good morning, good afternoon, or good evening—wherever you are in New England or across the nation. You’re listening to The Joe Mangiacotti Show, right here on WCRN 830 AM — Radio Central — from the center of the dial, the center of New England, and the center of common sense!

Today is Tuesday, April 15th — Tax Day — the day when the government lovingly reminds us who’s really in charge of our wallets. Yes, folks, the IRS wants its cut. And no matter how much they waste, mismanage, or funnel into DEI consultants and bureaucratic bloat, the taxman never sleeps. But fear not—because we’ve got 12 full minutes of real talk to kick things off, and let me tell you, we are not short on insanity this week.

Let’s start with the headlines they don’t want you talking about…

STORY 1: The Whistleblower Bombshell Against Gov. Shapiro

Now, imagine this—it’s July 2024, and a whistleblower, a former Pennsylvania State Police officer, tries to blow the lid off what he claims was a high-level conspiracy to assassinate President Donald J. Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

You heard me right.

According to the criminal complaint, Governor Josh Shapiro, with alleged help from top officials—and even whispered meetings with Joe Biden himself—played a "key role" in organizing and green-lighting an attack on the leading candidate in the 2024 race.

Now, you might be wondering, “Why haven’t I heard about this?” Well, that’s because every single legacy media outlet is treating this like it's radioactive. Radio silence. Meanwhile, the whistleblower claims he was blocked by the Biden administration, ignored by the FBI, and even brushed off by the Secret Service.

Let me ask you something, America: If these allegations had named a Republican governor and Joe Trump, do you think MSNBC wouldn’t be running wall-to-wall coverage? We deserve answers—and we’ll be staying on top of this.

STORY 2: Arson Attack on Gov. Shapiro’s Residence

And in a strange twist of timing, we had an alleged arson attack on Shapiro’s residence. A man named Cody Balmer, who’s now in the hospital for unrelated issues, reportedly told police he planned to beat Shapiro with a hammer.

Now listen—no one on this show condones violence. Let me say that clearly.

But what’s fascinating here is how both parties are rallying around Shapiro, calling this “an assault on democracy.” But where were these same voices when pro-life centers were firebombed? When Supreme Court justices had mobs outside their homes? Selective outrage, my friends—it’s the new American tradition.

STORY 3: Harvard Says No to Reform, Trump Says No to $2 Billion

Over at Harvard, the elite are having a meltdown. After the Trump administration demanded reforms to stop antisemitism and bring viewpoint diversity back to campus, Harvard basically said, “No thanks.” So, Trump froze over $2 billion in federal funds.

And you know what? Good.

The demands were simpl
