3.17.25 The Joe Mangiacotti Show - Monday - St Patrick's Day
Wednesday Mar 19, 2025
Wednesday Mar 19, 2025
Opening Segment: The Joe Mangiacotti Show – March 17, 2025Joe Mangiacotti:Good morning, New England! And a very Happy St. Patrick’s Day to all of you out there. Whether you’re Irish by birth, Irish by marriage, or just Irish by association today, welcome to The Joe Mangiacotti Show—Common Sense Conversation for the Common Sense Citizen.Now, before we get into the ridiculousness of today’s news cycle—and trust me, there’s plenty—I want to take a moment to talk about this day, March 17th, and why St. Patrick’s Day is such a big deal, especially here in the U.S.So, a little history for you. St. Patrick's Day, as most of you know, is in honor of St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. He was actually born in Britain—funny enough—but was kidnapped and taken to Ireland as a slave. He escaped, then came back as a missionary and is credited with bringing Christianity to Ireland. That’s the real story. The whole thing about him "driving out the snakes"—well, that’s more legend than fact. But hey, never let facts get in the way of a good story, right?Now, how did this become such a big deal in America? Well, Irish immigrants brought the celebration over in the 1700s, and the first-ever St. Patrick’s Day parade wasn’t even in Ireland—it was right here in the American colonies! Boston had the first parade in 1737, and New York followed in 1762. Today, we celebrate it in true American style—with parades, parties, and let’s be honest—a lot of beer.And of course, it wouldn’t be St. Patrick’s Day without mentioning the political and cultural contributions of the Irish. They helped build this country—literally. They worked the railroads, the factories, they served in the military, they shaped our cities. And they understood the value of hard work, patriotism, and yes, a little bit of rebellious spirit. So, whether you’re Irish or not, you can at least raise a glass today in honor of that.Alright, now let’s shift gears. Because speaking of being a little rebellious, have you heard what’s happening with Tesla? Oh boy, this one is good.Senator Mark Kelly, Democrat from Arizona, has decided to dump his Tesla. Why? Because he doesn’t like Elon Musk’s politics. That’s right, folks—Kelly says he feels like driving a Tesla is like "rolling around in a billboard for a man dismantling our government and hurting people."I mean, really? It’s a car! It’s not a political statement, it’s not a bumper sticker, it’s a machine that gets you from point A to point B. But no, because Elon Musk supports free speech and—gasp—President Donald Trump, Kelly and a bunch of other liberal celebrities have decided that Tesla is now evil.And he’s not alone. Jason Bateman—yeah, the Hollywood guy—he got rid of his Tesla too because he said it felt like "driving around with a Trump sticker." Sheryl Crow—she made a whole production out of selling her Tesla and donated the money to NPR just to prove a point. And venture capitalist Joanne Wilson? She and her husband dumped theirs too because they’re mad about Musk’s influence.This is peak ridiculousness, folks. These are the same people who championed Tesla just a few years ago because it was the electric car—the ultimate symbol of going green, saving the planet, cutting emissions. But now, because the guy who runs the company doesn’t fall in line with the liberal agenda, suddenly the car is the enemy.Meanwhile, Donald Trump just went out and bought two Teslas. A Model S and a Cybertruck. You gotta love it. The man sees a mob trying to tear down a company over politics, and instead of joining the protest, he doubles down and puts his money where his mouth is. And guess what happened? Tesla’s stock—which had been dropping—shot back up after Trump announced his support. That, my friends, is real influence.And this whole thing raises a bigger question. At what point did everything become political? When did we stop just buying products because they were good, because they worked, because they had value? Are we really at a point where we can’t drink certain coffee, wear certain shoes, drive certain cars, because we might offend someone? This is lunacy.So, here’s my challenge to you, my fellow common-sense citizens—let’s stop playing this game. Let’s stop letting politicians and celebrities tell us what we should drive, what we should eat, what we should think. You want a Tesla? Buy one because it’s a damn good car. You don’t want one? Fine, but make that decision because of the car itself, not because some virtue-signaling senator told you to.Alright, we’re just getting started here on The Joe Mangiacotti Show. We’ve got a packed show ahead, and I want to hear from you. Would you ever sell a car—or anything—just because the CEO has different political views than you? Call in, let me know.And hey, don’t forget—grab yourself a Guinness today, wear some green, and appreciate this great country we live in. Even with all the nonsense, it’s still the best place on Earth.

The Joe Mangiacotti Show – Opening Monologue
March 13, 2025 | 1:00 PMWCRN 830 AM – Radio Central
Good afternoon, folks! Welcome to The Joe Mangiacotti Show, broadcasting live from Radio Central – WCRN 830 AM, coming to you from the center of New England, the center of the dial, and the center of information. As always, I’m bringing you common sense conversation for the common sense citizen—and we’ve got a jam-packed show for you today.
Now, let’s get right into it because there’s a lot happening—the kind of political and cultural shifts that will define the future of this country. And if you’re paying attention, you know this isn’t just about today—it’s about the road ahead for America.
So before we dive into today’s discussions, let’s do a quick recap of some of the biggest stories we’ve been covering this week:
1. Merkel’s Legacy Crumbling – The Migrant Crisis She Created
Remember when Angela Merkel opened the floodgates and welcomed millions of migrants into Germany with no vetting, no accountability, and no plan? Well, now her own party is turning against her. Her memoir—which, by the way, reads more like an unrepentant confession—admits she let them in whether they had a legal right to stay or not. Now Germany is dealing with skyrocketing crime, political division, and economic strain—all because of failed leadership and a globalist fantasy of open borders.
And Merkel’s response? She blames the German people! Says they just didn’t have the “will to change.” Well, sounds a lot like what we’ve heard from the Left here in America, doesn’t it? Destroy your country and blame the citizens when it falls apart.
2. Army Reviewing Punishments for Soldiers Who Refused the COVID Jab
For those of you who stood strong against Biden’s unconstitutional COVID vaccine mandate, here’s some good news: Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George is reviewing all reprimands and punishments issued to soldiers who refused the jab. Over 8,000 troops were kicked out, tens of thousands left on their own, and countless careers were destroyed—all for refusing an experimental vaccine.
President Trump has already issued an executive order restoring back pay and benefits to those who were forced out. But let’s be honest, the damage has already been done. We lost good men and women in our armed forces, during a historic recruitment crisis, all because of Biden’s authoritarian overreach. And now the Pentagon is scrambling to clean up the mess.
3. Trump Declares an Energy Emergency—Biden’s Climate Agenda Is Over
Now, this is big. Within hours of being sworn in, President Trump took a meat axe to Biden’s radical climate policies, declaring an energy emergency and putting America back on the road to energy dominance.
He’s greenlighting new drilling, reopening public lands, and cutting regulations.Offshore drilling? Back on. Coal? Back in the game.And, yes—Trump just pulled the U.S. OUT of the Paris Agreement again.
Folks, this is a return to reality. We’ve spent the last four years watching Biden strangle American energy while begging foreign dictators for oil. That era is over. But don’t think for a second that the Left is going to take this lying down—expect lawsuits, protests, and a media meltdown.
4. Bidenflation Still Crushing Americans – Economy in Turmoil
Meanwhile, as Trump tries to clean up the mess, Biden’s economic disaster continues. Inflation is still eating away at savings, mortgage rates are sky-high, and real wages have barely budged.
And here’s the real kicker: Even Biden’s own economists admitted his spending binge exacerbated the crisis. So what’s the solution? Trump is slashing regulations and restoring energy independence—but the damage Biden did won’t be undone overnight.
5. Media Backlash Against Trump’s Swift Actions
You’d think Trump committed a war crime the way the media is reacting to his first few days back in office. Every single executive order is being spun as a reckless move—but let’s remember, Biden signed nearly 50 executive orders in his first few weeks! Did the media have a problem with that? Of course not.
What we’re seeing is the old playbook—Trump acts, the media freaks out, and they start screaming about democracy being in danger. But guess what? The American people voted for this. They voted for energy independence, border security, and economic sanity.
6. The Left Melts Down Over Free Speech and Censorship Rollbacks
Another Trump move? He’s tearing down the Left’s censorship regime. Big Tech, the government, and media elites worked hand in hand to silence conservatives, suppress dissent, and even censor the sitting President of the United States.
Trump is ordering agencies to stop colluding with Big Tech, protecting whistleblowers, and restoring free speech protections. Naturally, the Left is screaming about “misinformation”—because, folks, to them, free speech is only acceptable if they control it.
7. Trump’s Supreme Court Pick—Battle Lines Drawn
With a vacancy on the Supreme Court, Trump is gearing up for a nomination fight. The name Lee Zeldin is being floated, along with a few others, and the Democrats are already preparing their smear campaign. Remember Kavanaugh? They’ll lie, fabricate, and destroy anyone who threatens their control over the courts.
But here’s the bottom line: The next justice could determine the fate of gun rights, election integrity, and free speech for a generation. This is a battle worth fighting.
Closing Thoughts
Folks, this is where we are. America is at a turning point. We’ve got a President who is taking action, a media machine melting down, and a radical Left that refuses to accept defeat.
We’ll break down all of this and take your calls—but first, I want to hear from you:
💬 What do you think about Trump’s executive orders? Is he moving fast enough?

The Joe Mangiacotti Show – Opening MonologueWCRN 830 AM | March 12, 2025 | 1:00 PMJoe Mangiacotti:Good afternoon, New England! Welcome to The Joe Mangiacotti Show—common sense conversation for the common-sense citizen—right here on WCRN 830 AM, Radio Central! It’s Wednesday, March 12th, and folks, we’ve got a jam-packed show today,covering everything from the latest inflation numbers to President Trump taking action on men in women’s sports. And joining us later in the hour is a special guest—Kim Heckler—who’s been at the forefront of fighting for fairness in women’s athletics.But first—let’s get into it.Inflation Report: Are We Really in Recovery?So, we got the new inflation numbers this morning—2.8% in February, lower than expected. Sounds good on paper, right? Well, don’t get too excited just yet. The Biden-era inflation spikes may have cooled, but looming tariffs could send prices soaring again. Consumer confidence is still shaky, and big-ticket spending—like travel and entertainment—is slowing down. People are holding onto their wallets. We saw this with Delta Air Lines reporting weaker demand, and everyday essentials like eggs and rent are still outpacing wages.So, the question is—how much of this slowdown is actual progress, and how much is just the calm before another storm? The Fed says it’s too soon to lower interest rates, and they’re watching carefully. My take? Trump’s policies in his second term could stabilize the economy just like they did in his first, but it’s going to take some time for it to trickle down to Main Street.Trump Pulls Federal Funding for Universities Allowing Men in Women’s SportsNow, let’s talk about something that’s really lighting up the headlines today—President Trump just yanked funding from the University of Maine System and Columbia University because they refused to follow his executive order banning biological males from competing in women’s sports.You might remember a few weeks ago, Trump called out Maine’s Democrat Governor, Janet Mills, during a White House meeting. He warned her—comply or lose federal funding. Well, she didn’t listen, and on Monday, she found out he wasn’t bluffing. Almost $30 million in federal funding has now been frozen.Of course, the ACLU is out there crying about "academic freedom," but let’s be real—this isn’t about what a university teaches. It’s about whether women have the right to fair and safe competition. The Left used to champion Title IX protections for women’s sports—now they’re completely abandoning female athletes in favor of radical gender ideology.And guess what? 80% of Americans are against men competing in women’s sports. The Left is not only on the wrong side of science and common sense—they’re on the wrong side of the voters. And that, my friends, is how you lose elections.Trump’s Economic Policies: Will the Boom Return?Speaking of elections, let’s not forget—we are now in the Trump Administration 2.0. The media keeps pretending like the economic turnaround isn’t happening, but we saw what his policies did during his first term. Massive job growth, higher wages, energy independence, and a booming stock market.The question is—how long will it take to undo the damage from four years of reckless spending, high inflation, and bad trade deals? The markets are optimistic, but Wall Street knows the new tariffs could shake things up. We’ll be watching closely to see if Trump’s economic team can deliver another historic recovery.The Big Picture: A Political Shift Is HappeningBetween the economy, women’s sports, and the backlash against leftist policies—something is happening. The country is shifting, and more Americans are waking up to reality.Look at how blue states are starting to push back on progressive policies. You’ve got independent and even moderate Democrats realizing that some of these ideas are completely detached from real life. We saw it on Election Night 2024—Democrats lost because they overplayed their hand on cultural issues and the economy. If they keep it up, 2026 could be another red wave.Coming Up: Kim Heckler Joins UsNow, in just a few minutes, we’re bringing in Kim Heckler, who has been on the front lines fighting for fairness in women’s sports. We’ll talk about what these policies mean for female athletes, what’s next after Trump’s funding cuts, and how women’s sports can be protected going forward.So stick around—grab a coffee, light up a cigar if you’ve got one—because this is The Joe Mangiacotti Show, and we’re just getting started!

Opening Script – The Joe Mangiacotti ShowAiring: Tuesday, March 11, 2025Good morning, New England! Welcome to The Joe Mangiacotti Show—where common sense meets the microphone, and political nonsense meets its match! I’m your host, Joe Mangiacotti, and we’ve got a power-packed show for you today.So, grab your coffee, settle in, and let’s break down the biggest stories shaping our world—and trust me, folks, they’re big.Alright, first up—Trump is officially on the warpath … and no, I’m not talking about a new indictment. This time, it’s one of his own—Congressman Thomas Massie—who, in Trump’s eyes, has gone from “America First” to “America Annoying.” The former president wants him primaried out of public life for being an automatic NO vote on just about everything. He even compared him to Liz Cheney—and we all know how that turned out. Is Massie a principled conservative or just another grandstander? And more importantly—does Trump still have the muscle to push out Republicans who won’t play ball? We’re gonna dig into that.Speaking of playing ball—or rather, leaving the game entirely—how about this? The Trump administration just revamped the old CBP One app, the same one Biden used to funnel 900,000 migrants into the country. Now? It’s called CBP Home, and it’s a one-way ticket out. That’s right, folks—self-deportation goes digital! A simple click, and you can say, "Hey, Uncle Sam, I’d rather leave before ICE finds me." Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem says it’s the easy way out—but is this really a solution to our immigration crisis, or just a high-tech PR stunt? We’ll get into it.Oh, and speaking of unraveling policies, let’s talk about the latest in the Biden economy—or should I say, the lack thereof? Credit card debt is through the roof, the housing market is tanking, and suddenly, we’ve got people turning to payday loans just to cover groceries. But wait—Biden says the economy is strong and inflation is “cooling down.” So, either we’re all living in two separate realities, or the White House has been drinking its own Kool-Aid.And if that’s not enough to get your blood pressure up—let’s talk about the state of free speech in America. Remember when the government wasn’t supposed to police our opinions? Well, a new DHS program is doing just that—monitoring “threats” based on political speech. So if you’re a little too conservative, a little too skeptical of the official narrative—guess what? You just might be flagged. Where does this end? And how do we fight back?(Pause, upbeat tone again)But hey, not everything is doom and gloom. Because guess who’s back? NASCAR legend Tony Stewart—and not just behind the wheel. Nope, he’s in a whole different kind of race—the political one. Word is, he’s gearing up for a Senate run in Indiana. Is this a publicity stunt, or does he actually have the horsepower to shake up Washington? One thing’s for sure—he’s not afraid to step on the gas when it comes to calling out the establishment.And last but not least—how about some good old-fashioned political hypocrisy? The same Democrats who once screamed “defund the police” are now begging for more cops as crime spirals out of control. Who could’ve seen that coming? (Sarcasm) Oh, that’s right—every sane person in America!Folks, it’s gonna be a great show today. We’re covering all of it—Trump’s fight with Massie, the self-deportation app, Biden’s economic fantasyland, Big Brother watching your political views, Tony Stewart hitting the political track, and Democrats suddenly remembering that law enforcement is a thing.(Closing tease, engaging tone)We’re taking your calls, your thoughts, your rants—because this show is YOUR voice. And trust me, we need every voice in this fight to keep common sense alive.So stick with me, because The Joe Mangiacotti Show starts RIGHT NOW.

“The Left is Losing Its Mind – And I’m Here for It”
Good afternoon, New England! You’re listening to The Joe Mangiacotti Show right here on WCRN 830 AM, where we bring you common sense conversation for the common sense citizen.
Let me tell you, folks, it’s been a week. A wild week. And the Left? Oh, they’re having a complete and total meltdown—and it’s only Monday!
Let’s break it all down:
Trump’s Joint Session to Congress – And the Democrats’ Epic Tantrum
We all saw it last week: President Trump walked into Congress and laid down the law.
He made it clear: We are done with the weak, America-last policies of the past.
We’re securing our borders, cracking down on crime, restoring law and order, and defunding radical institutions.
He reminded us that this country belongs to Americans—not to the globalists, not to foreign interests, and certainly not to the people who hate us.
And how did the Democrats respond? With the most embarrassing display I’ve seen in years.
The Squad sat there pouting like a bunch of toddlers who just had their toys taken away.
Chuck Schumer actually called Trump “dangerous.” Dangerous?! What’s dangerous, Chuck, is the mess your party left behind—open borders, inflation, out-of-control crime, and weak leadership.
Biden’s response? A rambling, incoherent mess where he accused Trump of “threatening democracy” just because he’s actually governing.
ICE Arrests Columbia’s Anti-Israel Activist – And the Left Loses It
Over the weekend, ICE did its job—something we hadn’t seen in years.
They arrested Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian activist who spent months leading anti-Israel protests at Columbia University.
Turns out he was linked to Hamas. Yes, the same Hamas that slaughtered over 1,200 innocent people in Israel just a few months ago.
And the Democrats? Suddenly, they’re all about “free speech.”
Let me be clear: This wasn’t about free speech. This was about national security.
And President Trump made it clear: If you support terrorists, you don’t belong in America. Period.
DOGE Uncovers Hundreds of Millions in SBA Fraud – Kids and 157-Year-Olds Getting Loans?
Oh, folks, this one is just priceless.
Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has been uncovering billions in government fraud.
And now? They found out that the Small Business Administration gave out $312 million in loans to… children.
That’s right. 5,600 loans went to kids 11 years old and younger.
Oh, and let’s not forget: $333 million went to “business owners” over 115 years old. One guy, supposedly 157 years old, got $36,000 in COVID relief funds!
Are you kidding me?!
And the Democrats want us to believe they’re the party of “responsible government?” Give me a break!
Columbia Loses $400 Million in Federal Funding for Failing to Protect Jewish Students
I love this one.
President Trump followed through on his promise—if universities don’t protect students from radical extremists, they lose their federal funding.
Columbia University just lost $400 million because they allowed anti-Semitic hate mobs to take over their campus.
The Left is freaking out, saying it’s an attack on “free expression.”
Free expression? Where was free expression when conservative speakers were shut down?
Where was free expression when Jewish students were harassed, threatened, and physically attacked on these campuses?
Folks, this is long overdue.
Final Thoughts – America is Taking Back Control
Let’s be honest: For years, the Left ran this country into the ground.
They let radical activists run wild on our college campuses.
They wasted your tax dollars on fraud, scams, and nonsense.
They cried about democracy while they tried to silence and imprison their political opponents.
But now? The tide is turning.
Law and order is back.
Our borders are being secured.
The radicals are losing their grip on this country.
And folks, they’re losing their minds over it.
So here’s my question for you:
Is Trump right to start defunding radical universities?
Should ICE deport more foreign agitators?
And how do we make sure this government waste never happens again?
Call in: 508-871-7000—I want to hear what you think!
This is The Joe Mangiacotti Show—and we’ll be right back.

Opening for The Joe Mangiacotti Show – March 6, 2025
Good morning, New England! Welcome to The Joe Mangiacotti Show—common sense conversation for the common sense citizen, right here on WCRN 830 AM.
We’ve got a packed show for you today, folks, and a lot to talk about. The news cycle has been spinning out of control this week, and I know you’re all fired up about it because I sure am. So, let’s get into it.
President Trump delivered his first big speech to Congress since being re-elected, and, as expected, it was a strong, clear, America First message. He laid out his vision for tackling illegal immigration, fixing the economy, and cleaning up government waste. You know—the things that matter to the American people. And what happened? Predictably, the Left had a meltdown.
Now, I want to start with one of the most disgusting moments of the night, and I don’t use that word lightly. During the speech, Trump took a moment to honor DJ Daniel, a 13-year-old boy from Texas who has spent most of his young life battling brain cancer. He’s had 13 brain surgeries and was given just five months to live back in 2018. But he fought, he survived, and he’s been traveling the country getting sworn in as an honorary law enforcement officer because this kid has a heart for service.
Tuesday night, Trump surprised DJ by making him an honorary Secret Service agent. The look on that boy’s face, folks—it was pure joy. It was one of those moments that should have transcended politics. A moment where everyone, no matter their party, should have stood up, clapped, and celebrated this kid’s fight, his courage, and his love for country.
But guess what? The Democrats couldn’t even muster that. They sat there, stone-faced, arms crossed, pouting like children. Because apparently, even honoring a kid who beat cancer is too much if Trump is the one doing it. And then, to make it even worse, we had the media elites—Rachel Maddow, Nicole Wallace—turning it into some disgusting political commentary. Wallace actually suggested that she hopes DJ never has to face Trump supporters if he becomes a cop. Are you kidding me? This is the same media that tells us we’re the extremists, we’re the problem. Give me a break.
But that wasn’t the only chaos that night. The Democrats made sure to put on a show. Right out of the gate, Rep. Al Green—yes, the same Al Green who has spent years trying to impeach Trump—stood up waving his cane and started shouting at the President.Right in the middle of Trump’s speech, yelling about how Trump has no mandate. Well, I’ve got news for you, Congressman—he does. That’s why he’s standing at the podium and you’re the one getting dragged out of the chamber by the Sergeant-at-Arms.And the icing on the cake? The Democrats—ten of them—actually voted with Republicans to censure Al Green for his behavior. Now, that tells you something. When even members of your own party say, “Yeah, this guy’s embarrassing,” you know you’ve crossed a line. But instead of taking their medicine, the rest of the Democrats doubled down, started singing We Shall Overcome on the House floor, and completely shut down Congress. Folks, these are not serious people. These are children.
Meanwhile, the American people were watching, and guess what? They approved of Trump’s message. A CNN poll—yeah, I’m gonna say that again, CNN—found that 69% of Americans who watched the speech had a positive reaction. That’s not a small number, folks. That’s nearly 70% of the country saying, “Yeah, we like what we’re hearing.” And yet, the Democrats think throwing tantrums on national television is a winning strategy. Good luck with that in 2026, guys.
So, where do we go from here? That’s what we’re going to break down today. And joining me live is a guy who knows this stuff inside and out—George Landrith, President of the Frontiers of Freedom Institute. George has been fighting for conservative principles for decades, and he’s going to help us unpack what’s coming next in Trump’s second term, what battles are ahead, and why the Democrats are completely losing their grip.
I want to hear from you, too. Were you watching Tuesday night? What was your reaction to Trump’s speech? Did the Democrats’ behavior disgust you as much as it did me? Give me a call—we’re gonna get into it all, right here, right now, on The Joe Mangiacotti Show!

The Joe Mangiacotti Show – Opening MonologueMarch 4, 2025
Good evening, folks! Welcome to The Joe Mangiacotti Show, where we cut through the nonsense, break down the headlines, and get to the truth—common sense conversation for the common sense citizen. It's March 4, 2025, and boy, do we have a lot to talk about tonight. Buckle up because we are diving right in.
First up, President Trump is addressing a joint session of Congress tonight, and as expected, the usual suspects on the Left are throwing their temper tantrums. Several Democrats have announced they’re boycotting the speech—because, of course, they are. Rather than do their jobs, they’re hosting a so-called prebuttal—a livestream whining session where they’ll rant about Trump’s policies before he even speaks. That’s like walking out of a movie before it starts and writing a scathing review. It’s political theater at its worst, and I’ll tell you why this stunt exposes the Left’s biggest weakness.
And speaking of exposing weaknesses, President Trump made waves this morning with a social media post calling out schools and universities that allow so-called “illegal protests.” Now, let’s be real—he’s talking about the out-of-control mobs shutting down campuses, not students peacefully voicing their opinions. Trump says federal funding will be on the chopping block if these institutions don’t start upholding the law. And let’s not forget his warning that agitators will be arrested, deported if they’re here illegally, and students expelled for breaking the law. Common sense, right? But the media is losing its mind over it. We’ll break down what’s really happening on college campuses and why this move is long overdue.
And if you thought that was bad, wait until you hear what Senate Democrats pulled last night. They just killed the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act, a bill that would have protected female athletes from having to compete against biological males. Every single Democrat voted against it. Every. Single. One. Even tennis legend Martina Navratilova—who’s a staunch Democrat herself—is calling them out. She said she’s “mad as hell” that her own party completely abandoned women on this issue. And she’s right. We’ll break down how Democrats, who claim to be champions of women’s rights, just threw female athletes under the bus—and why they’re so afraid to stand up for basic biological reality.
And finally, what’s a night of hypocrisy without the Democratic Party’s latest attempt to weaponize the government against their enemies? House Democrats are planning to bring so-called “victims” of Trump’s policies to tonight’s speech—folks who supposedly lost their jobs due to Trump’s efforts to cut bureaucratic bloat. These are the same Democrats who have never met a regulation they didn’t love, who cheered when businesses were shut down over vaccine mandates, and who have spent years defending job-killing policies. But now, suddenly, they care about workers? Please. We’ll expose their game and talk about why Trump’s push for government efficiency is exactly what this country needs.
So there it is—four major stories tonight that cut right to the heart of what’s happening in America. A President standing up for law and order, a Leftist meltdown over basic accountability, the Democrats' betrayal of women, and their shameless political grandstanding.
Folks, we’re going to unpack all of this and more tonight, so don’t go anywhere. Call in, weigh in—I want to hear from you. Let’s have a real conversation, because here on The Joe Mangiacotti Show, we don’t do scripted talking points. We do truth, logic, and common sense.
Now, let’s get to it
