9.17.25 The Joe Mangiacotti Show - Wednesday

Today on *The Joe Mangiacotti Show* on WCRN 830 AM at 1:00 PM, we had a packed program you won’t want to miss. I welcomed **Jill Dougherty**, former CNN Moscow Bureau Chief and author of *My Russia: What I Saw in the Kremlin*, for an insider’s look at how Russia views America and how Washington views Moscow. We then dove into the **awful and bizarre response from Democrats and the Left** to the brutal assassination of Charlie Kirk — a reaction that exposed not only their callousness but their shock when celebratory posts cost them jobs and public trust. From there, we broke down the new push in Congress to **freeze the assets of billionaire funders** bankrolling disruptive left-wing activism, riots, and hate campaigns. Finally, we shed light on revelations about **“Operation Arctic Frost”**, a secretive investigation exposed in Senate hearings that swept up 92 Republican groups, including Turning Point USA — raising serious concerns about how far the Biden administration weaponized law enforcement against political opponents.

Listeners weighed in live on the call-in line at **508-871-7000**, making for an engaging, no-holds-barred conversation.
