Opening Monologue – The Joe Mangiacotti Show

WCRN 830 AM – February 20, 2025 – 1:00 PM

Joe Mangiacotti:
“Hey there, folks! Welcome to the Joe Mangiacotti Show, where we bring you common sense conversation for the common sense citizen. It’s Thursday, February 20, 2025, and we have got a packed show for you today. Buckle up because we’re diving straight into the insanity coming out of Washington, the latest on Ukraine, the media’s meltdown over Trump, and, of course, the ongoing arrogance of the radical Left. Let’s get to it.”

The Left’s Contempt for You – Jasmine Crockett’s Smug Insult

You know, folks, it never ceases to amaze me how the Left views the American people. If you’re a conservative, if you support President Trump, if you dare to question the narrative—they think you’re stupid. No, seriously. That’s not me saying it. That’s Representative Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) saying it on national television.

This week, Crockett was on The View, that liberal safe space where common sense goes to die, and she outright said that Trump’s popularity is rising because Americans just “aren’t that smart.” She thinks you don’t have the intelligence to vote the right way. Imagine the arrogance!

So let’s break that down. According to Crockett, Trump’s massive 2024 victory—77.3 million votes, a clear mandate from the people—happened because we’re dumb? His 53% approval rating right now is just proof that we need "better education"?

No, Jasmine. We don’t need more indoctrination. We don’t need more woke brainwashing. We need leaders who respect the people who put them in office.

And that’s the problem with the modern Democratic Party. They don’t even pretend to like you anymore. They think they should rule you, not serve you.

Crockett even went on to say that soon, we’re all going to “understand” the consequences of our supposed stupidity. She said, and I quote:

"People don’t understand, but you will understand when those hospitals in rural America start closing down even more. You will understand when you don’t have your Social Security. You will understand when your Medicaid, your Medicare goes away... as planes continue to fall out of the sky."

What a lovely sentiment, huh? Vote for Trump, and you deserve to suffer. That’s their message, plain and simple.

But here’s the kicker—who’s been in charge for the last four years? Who caused the inflation crisis? Who crippled our energy sector? Who sent billions overseas while our own people struggled? It wasn’t Trump. It was Biden and the radical Left!

Trump Pulls Back the Curtain on Zelenskyy and the Ukraine Disaster

And speaking of sending billions overseas—let’s talk about Ukraine.

President Trump is finally saying what we all knew but weren’t allowed to say. This war? The one that’s drained $350 billion from American taxpayers? The one where we’ve spent more than all of Europe combined? The one that never had to happen?

It was all one big grift.

Think about this, folks. Zelenskyy—who, by the way, was a second-rate comedian before he became president—played Biden like a fiddle. He milked us for hundreds of billions, and now, shocker, half of it is missing.

That’s right. Half of the money we sent Ukraine is unaccounted for. And Zelenskyy? The so-called “champion of democracy”? He’s canceled elections in Ukraine. No accountability, no transparency, and no incentive to end the war.

Meanwhile, who’s really been calling the shots in Ukraine? It wasn’t Biden. He’s barely awake most of the time. No, this war was pushed and managed by the U.S. Intelligence Community and their foreign allies.

Just this week, U.S. military drones—originating from Ukraine—attacked a Western-owned oil pipeline. Not a Russian pipeline. A pipeline partly owned by American companies.

Now, here’s the question: Who authorized this? Not Zelenskyy—he was in the UAE at the time. So who’s making these decisions? Who’s running this war behind the scenes?

We all know the answer. The same unelected bureaucrats who lied us into Iraq, who orchestrated the Russia Hoax, who spy on American citizens while calling us "threats to democracy."

The Intelligence Community’s Fear of Trump and Putin

And that brings me to the bigger picture.

There is a full-blown panic happening inside the Washington establishment right now. The intelligence agencies fear Trump and Putin forming a geopolitical alliance. And I’m not talking about some conspiracy theory—I’m talking about reality.

The Left and the permanent war machine don’t want peace. They never did. Because peace doesn’t make money. War does.

That’s why they fought Trump every time he tried to negotiate peace. That’s why they’re scrambling now—because Trump is about to cut through the corruption and put an end to this nonsense once and for all.

Closing Thoughts – The American People Are Waking Up

So here we are, folks. The truth is coming out—about Ukraine, about the deep state, about the radical Left’s contempt for regular Americans. And they can’t stand it.

They call you stupid. They mock you. They tell you to just accept what they say.

But guess what? You’re not stupid. You see what’s happening. You see the lies, the corruption, the grift. That’s why Trump won in 2024. That’s why he has a 53% approval rating even with the media in full meltdown mode.

The Left doesn’t fear Trump. They fear you.

They fear that the American people are finally awake.
