Opening Segment – The Joe Mangiacotti Show

Joe Mangiacotti:
Good morning, New England! It’s Monday, March 18th, 2025, and you’re tuned in to The Joe Mangiacotti Show—Common sense conversation for the common sense citizen.
Hope you all had a great weekend, because we’ve got a jam-packed show today. And I mean packed—there is no shortage of insanity happening in this country, and we’re breaking it all down for you. So grab your coffee, settle in, and let’s get to work.
Coming up today: Trump makes a bold move on Hunter and Ashley Biden’s Secret Service protection, a huge ICE bust in Boston that should have never had to happen, the White House scrambles after a major policy blunder, and—yes—the media is in full meltdown mode over it all.
Let’s start with what’s probably the biggest headline today—Trump cuts off Hunter Biden’s Secret Service protection.
1. Trump Revokes Hunter and Ashley Biden’s Secret Service Protection
Folks, here’s what went down. President Trump—wasting no time—announced he’s revoking Secret Service protection for Hunter and Ashley Biden. Why? Because Hunter, who has had up to 18 agents assigned to him, is vacationing in South Africa on your dime. That’s right, your taxpayer dollars have been funding Hunter’s security detail while he globe-trots. Now, Trump says enough is enough and pulled the plug—Ashley Biden’s 13 agents are also being removed. I want to hear from you—do you support this move? Should the families of former presidents be on the hook for their own security, or is this just another chapter in the Biden family’s never-ending story of privilege?
2. ICE Arrests Illegal Alien Accused of Assaulting a Child in Massachusetts
Alright, this next one should outrage every single one of you. ICE just arrested a 59-year-old illegal alien from Guatemala—Sostenes Perez-Lopez—who was charged with sexually assaulting a child in Brighton. Now, here’s the kicker: ICE put a detainer on this guy, but the Boston courts ignored it. They released him on bail—despite the fact that he was an illegal alien accused of assaulting a child. This is exactly why these soft-on-crime, sanctuary city policies do not work. Thank God ICE tracked him down, but how many others are still out there? And let’s be real—how does anyone defend these policies when they allow criminals to walk free instead of being handed over to ICE? Let’s talk about it.
3. Massachusetts Pushes for Even Higher Taxes—Shocker!
Speaking of Massachusetts—guess what? The state is at it again. Lawmakers are pushing for even higher taxes to fund their never-ending social programs. Because, you know, spending billions of dollars on illegal immigrants and failed projects apparently isn’t enough. We’ll break down exactly what’s in this new tax proposal and what it means for hardworking people like you who are already paying too much. Spoiler alert: It’s not good.
4. Biden's Latest Foreign Policy Blunder—And the Fallout
Meanwhile, over in D.C., the Biden administration is scrambling after yet another major policy blunder. The White House just pulled economic aid from South Africa over human rights concerns—something Trump pointed out right before Hunter Biden was caught vacationing there. Coincidence? I don’t think so. The bigger question is: How does this administration keep stepping in it every single week? We’ll get into it.
5. The Media’s Full Meltdown Over Trump’s Latest Moves
And of course, the media is losing their minds over everything Trump is doing. You’d think the world was ending based on the headlines coming from CNN and MSNBC. The same people who ignored Hunter Biden’s scandals and defended Joe Biden’s disastrous policies are now suddenly outraged that Trump is actually making decisions. We’re going to break down the hypocrisy—because there’s plenty of it.
6. Local Crime Surge—Is It Connected to Lax Immigration Policies?
Here’s a question: With crime surging in cities like Boston and Worcester, why aren’t more people talking about the impact of illegal immigration? We just saw the case with Perez-Lopez, but that’s just one example. We’re going to look at the bigger picture—how these policies are making our communities less safe, and why Democrats refuse to acknowledge it.
7. The Woke Agenda Marches On—Now It’s Coming for Small Businesses
And finally, in today’s episode of "You Can’t Make This Stuff Up"—woke policies are now being forced onto small businesses in Massachusetts. A new proposal would require diversity quotas for private companies—yes, private companies—to qualify for state contracts. This is beyond absurd. It’s one thing for a company to choose to be inclusive; it’s another for the government to force them to meet arbitrary quotas. Where does this end?
Folks, that’s just the tip of the iceberg. We’re diving into all of these stories today, and I want to hear from you. Do you support Trump’s decision on Hunter and Ashley Biden? Are Massachusetts taxpayers finally reaching their breaking point? And how do we hold politicians accountable for policies that put our communities at risk?
