Luigi Mangione Defense Reversal: Why His Legal Team Changed Course | Jesse Weber Live Full Show

Tonight on “Jesse Weber Live”: A total turnaround in the Luigi Mangione case. On Thursday, the accused UnitedHealthcare CEO killer appeared poised to pursue an “extreme emotional disturbance” defense. Now, a stunning reversal: His legal team has withdrawn the psychiatric defense. Why? Weber speaks with acclaimed criminal defense attorney Joe Tacopina.

Plus, Weber sits down with one of Beverly Hills’ top plastic surgeons, Dr. Terry Dubrow. If you’re a fan of “Botched” or “The Real Housewives,” you know him. Dubrow joins the show to discuss an apparent and unexpected side effect affecting some people using GLP-1 medications for weight loss. It’s called “ghost fat.”

And finally, cancel culture: When a celebrity is canceled, do they deserve a second chance?

Weber is joined by a panel weighing in on the latest headlines involving Kevin Spacey, Lil Nas X and Armie Hammer.

This episode was originally recorded on June 18, 2026.
