The Joe Mangiacotti Show

2.27.25 - The Joe Mangisacotti Show - Thursday

The Joe Mangiacotti Show on WCRN 830 AM for February 27th, 2025:
Good afternoon, New England! Welcome to The Joe Mangiacotti Show—Common Sense Conversation for the Common Sense Citizen—right here on WCRN 830 AM, your source for truth, logic, and the real stories the mainstream media would rather bury.
It’s Wednesday, February 27th, and we’ve got a packed show today. There’s no shortage of hypocrisy, double standards, and political theater in D.C., and we’re breaking it all down.
Jake Tapper—the same guy who spent years defending Joe Biden—is now trying to cash in by exposing the very cognitive decline he spent years covering up. It’s like an arsonist writing a book about fire safety! We’ll get into that and the larger media manipulation machine that made it all possible.
Then, the hot mic moment that has everyone talking—Dan Crenshaw caught saying he’d “f**ing kill” Tucker Carlson. Is this just bravado, or does it expose a deeper hostility toward those who challenge the D.C. establishment? We’ll discuss what’s really behind this rage and what it tells us about the so-called ‘Republican’ establishment.*
And of course, we’ll talk about the state of the 2024 election fallout, the border crisis, and everything else affecting your life—because unlike the mainstream media, we actually care about the truth.
As always, we want to hear from you. Give us a call at (508) 871-7000 and be part of the conversation. Buckle up, folks—it’s going to be a good one!
Talking Points for Today’s Show
Segment 1: Jake Tapper’s Hypocrisy—The Biden Cognitive Decline Cover-Up
Tapper's book, "Original Sin," exposes Biden’s decline—but where was he when it mattered?
The same Tapper who dismissed concerns about Biden’s mental fitness is now profiting off it.
Media gaslighting: From calling it a ‘stutter’ in 2020 to now acting shocked in 2025.
Biden’s decline wasn’t just obvious—it was deliberately covered up by the media and the Democrats.
This is about controlling the narrative. The media lied to you then, and now they want you to buy their ‘exclusive exposé’ on the lie they helped create.
Segment 2: Dan Crenshaw’s Hot Mic Moment—Threats Against Tucker Carlson
Crenshaw caught saying he’d “f*ing kill” Tucker Carlson. Not a joke. Not taken out of context.**
Why this anger? Tucker has been exposing the deep-state corruption, particularly the endless Ukraine funding.
Crenshaw didn’t threaten the people bankrupting America, just the guy questioning them.
Crenshaw vs. Carlson: A long-running feud, but this goes deeper than personal beef—it’s about silencing dissent.
Crenshaw’s outrage is selective. No threats for Biden’s open-border disaster, but Tucker questioning foreign aid? That’s where he draws the line?
What this tells us about the establishment GOP and why we need real America First leadership.
Segment 3: 2024 Election Fallout—The Consequences of the Biden Disaster
Biden’s collapse forced the Democrats to scramble—Kamala Harris stepping in was never the plan.
Trump’s resurgence: The media is panicked, the swamp is scared, and the American people are waking up.
The lesson? Never trust the media’s ‘official narrative.’ They will always cover for the establishment—until it’s no longer profitable.
Segment 4: Open Phones—What’s on Your Mind?
Taking calls from listeners on today’s biggest issues.
Is Crenshaw’s threat a ‘nothing burger,’ or does it expose something more sinister?
Does the media finally admitting Biden’s cognitive decline change how voters see the election?
What other ‘official narratives’ are we being lied to about right now?

2.26.25 - The Joe Mangiacotti show - Wednesday

Opening Segment for The Joe Mangiacotti Show - WCRN 830 AM - February 26, 2025
Good afternoon, folks! It’s Wednesday, February 26, 2025, and you’re tuned into The Joe Mangiacotti Show, right here on WCRN 830 AM—Radio Central. Common sense conversation for the common sense citizen. And boy, do we have a packed show today!
First up, President Trump is holding his first Cabinet meeting of his second term, and making headlines—again. Elon Musk, yes, that Elon Musk, will be in attendance, even though he’s not a formal Cabinet member. As head of the newly minted Department of Government Efficiency, he’s expected to weigh in on cutting government waste and making the bureaucracy actually work for the American people. A businessman who knows how to get things done? What a concept!
Meanwhile, over in Ukraine, the Trump administration is finalizing a deal with Zelenskyy that would secure America’s access to rare earth minerals in exchange for security guarantees. Now, let’s be honest—this is the kind of deal America should’ve been making years ago. Instead of dumping billions into an endless war, we’re striking agreements that benefit our country and help stabilize the region. Sounds like a win-win, doesn’t it?
And speaking of stability, the Supreme Court is set to issue some major rulings this morning, including a case involving a reverse discrimination claim from a woman in Ohio. Now, we’ve seen these cases pop up more and more in recent years, and it raises a fundamental question—should any American be judged on race instead of merit? We’ll dive into the legal and cultural implications of this case later in the show.
Over in Congress, the Senate continues its confirmation hearings for Trump’s new nominees to the Justice Department. Now, Democrats are scrambling to block them, but let’s be real—the American people spoke loud and clear in November. They wanted change, they wanted leadership, and they wanted America First policies back in action. We’ll be watching closely as these hearings unfold.
Now, let’s talk about something that’s hitting every American—egg prices. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins just laid out a five-pronged approach to tackling rising costs. And guess what? Unlike the previous administration, which did nothing but let prices skyrocket, the Trump administration is actually taking action. They’re investing $1 billion into fighting avian flu, boosting financial relief for farmers, and cutting unnecessary red tape on egg producers. Translation? Less government interference and more affordable food on your table. Imagine that!
Meanwhile, in New York City, Mayor Eric Adams is trying to weasel his way out of criminal charges by claiming “prosecutorial misconduct.” You know, it’s funny how these politicians love to wield government power against their enemies, but when the tables turn, suddenly it’s unfair. We’ll break down what this means for Adams, and if he has any shot at getting off the hook.
And finally, let’s talk about Trump’s latest move that has the media losing their minds—his AI-generated video showcasing ‘Trump Gaza.’ Now, whether you love it or hate it, you’ve got to admit—it’s peak Trump. The video shows Gaza transformed into a modern metropolis, complete with skyscrapers, economic development, and—of course—a golden statue of Trump himself. The Left is outraged, but let’s be honest—if anyone can turn a disaster into an opportunity, it’s Trump. We’ll talk about the implications of this and whether America should play a role in Gaza’s reconstruction.
So, strap in, folks! We’ve got a packed show ahead—phone lines will be open, and I want to hear from you. What’s your take on all of this? Give me a call at [insert call-in number] and let’s break it down together.
You’re listening to The Joe Mangiacotti Show on WCRN 830 AM. We’ll be right back after the break!

2.25.25 - The Joe Mangiacotti Show - Tuesday

The Joe Mangiacotti Show on Tuesday, February 25, 2025, at 1:00 PM on WCRN 830 AM. This will set the tone for the show, covering law and order, patriotism, and deep-state sabotage.THE JOE MANGIACOTTI SHOW – OPENING MONOLOGUETuesday, February 25, 2025 – 1:00 PMGood afternoon, New England! Welcome to The Joe Mangiacotti Show, where we engage in Common Sense Conversation for the Common Sense Citizen. It’s Tuesday, February 25, 2025, and folks, we have a lot to talk about today.Let me start by saying this: The battle for America is real, and it’s happening right now. We have patriots fighting for this country, and we have people actively trying to tear it down from within. And if you needed any more proof of that, look no further than today’s headlines.Dan Bongino Takes a Pay Cut for PatriotismFirst, let’s talk about Dan Bongino, a man who’s been on the front lines exposing corruption, standing up for law enforcement, and fighting for American values.We learned this week that Bongino—who was making nearly $5 million last year—will now earn just $221,000 as the Deputy Director of the FBI. Pete Hegseth, another patriot, is seeing his salary drop from $2.3 million to $256,000.Folks, this tells you everything you need to know about these men. They aren’t in it for the money. They’re in it because they love this country.Compare that to the career bureaucrats and swamp creatures who sit in Washington, lining their pockets while they sell America out to the highest bidder. They don’t care about law and order. They don’t care about you. They care about power.Dan Bongino has spent years exposing corruption in the FBI. And now, as Deputy Director, he’s going to clean house from the inside. That’s got the Left panicked. That’s got the deep state terrified. And that’s why this is the most important moment for law and order in years.So let’s give some credit where it’s due—President Donald J. Trump made the right call, again.But let’s be clear: Bongino and Hegseth are walking into a war zone. The FBI has been politicized, weaponized, and corrupted for years. The mission is clear: fix it, or shut it down.Leaking ICE Raids to Protect Criminals – That’s TreasonNow, let’s shift gears to the border, the law, and betrayal from within.We learned this week that DHS Secretary Kristi Noem has identified multiple leakers inside our own government—people who deliberately leaked an ICE raid to the media to protect illegal alien gang members.Folks, let me be very clear: This is treason.These government employees—possibly FBI, DHS, or other agencies—leaked classified information so that criminals, rapists, and murderers could escape arrest.Who do they work for? Because it sure as hell isn’t you, the American citizen.Let’s be honest: The deep state is real. These bureaucrats aren’t just sitting behind desks, pushing papers. They are actively working against the safety and security of American citizens.And let’s not forget the Los Angeles Times, which gladly published this leaked information, knowing full well that it would allow criminals to evade law enforcement. They are complicit.Kristi Noem isn’t playing games. She’s firing these people. She’s investigating them. And she’s using every tool she has to hold them accountable.And here’s the thing—Trump’s new policies are working. Since his return to office, ICE has been able to go after violent criminals without restriction. We are finally seeing law and order return to immigration enforcement.But, of course, the radical Left hates that. We’re seeing protests in sanctuary cities—people marching in the streets, not to demand safety for law-abiding Americans, but to defend criminals who have no right to be here in the first place.Here’s the bottom line: You break the law, you get deported. That’s how it works. And if you’re an American citizen who leaks information to protect criminals, you should be sitting in a jail cell right next to them.America First Means Holding the Deep State AccountableFolks, everything we’re talking about today comes down to one fundamental question:Who is this country really for?Is it for law-abiding, tax-paying American citizens?Or is it for criminals, illegal aliens, and corrupt bureaucrats who think they’re above the law?We’ve got patriots like Dan Bongino and Pete Hegseth stepping up to fix our institutions.We’ve got leaders like Kristi Noem rooting out corruption and fighting back against the deep state.And we’ve got President Donald J. Trump bringing back law and order.But this fight isn’t over. We still have corrupt politicians, deep-state leakers, and a media that actively works against America.And that’s where you come in.It’s time to take a stand. It’s time to hold the Left accountable. It’s time to demand law and order in this country.And that’s exactly what we’re going to do right here, right now, on The Joe Mangiacotti Show.So let’s hear from you.📞 Call in now—508-871-7000.Are these ICE leakers traitors who should be prosecuted?Will Dan Bongino fix the FBI, or is the agency too far gone?And what does America First mean to you?It’s your voice, your country, and your fight.Let’s get to it. The lines are open.

2.24.25 - The Joe Mangiacotti Show - Monday

Opening Segment – WCRN 830 AM – February 17, 2025"Good morning, New England! It’s Monday,February 17th, 2025, and we’ve got a lot to get into today. But first, let’s take a moment to recognize the significance of today—it’s President’s Day, a federal holiday, a day when banks are closed, the post office takes a break, and if you’re lucky, you’ve got the day off. But what is President’s Day really about?"The History of President’s DayOriginally, this holiday started as a way to celebrate George Washington’s birthday on February 22nd. Over time, it evolved into a day honoring all U.S. Presidents, particularly Washington and Lincoln, who was born on February 12th. But let’s be honest—how many Americans are actually reflecting on presidential history today, and how many are just happy for the long weekend? Maybe the better question is: how do we feel about the presidency today, and where do we stand as a nation under its leadership? We’ll get into that.Canada Hockey Booing – Have We Had Enough?Now, let’s talk about what happened over the weekend at a hockey game in Canada. The crowd erupted in boos during a moment that was supposed to honor "diversity" and "inclusion." Now, we’re not talking about a respectful silence—we’re talking loud, raucous booing. And it begs the question: are people finally pushing back against the woke agenda infiltrating every corner of sports, entertainment, and daily life? Or was this just an isolated moment? The backlash is real, and it’s happening across North America.Daytona 500 – Trump Gets a Hero’s WelcomeMeanwhile, down in Florida, we saw something completely different. Donald Trump made his grand return to the Daytona 500, and the crowd went wild. He got a standing ovation, the kind of welcome that says, "This is still Trump country!" And in a moment straight out of a movie, he took the ceremonial lap in "The Beast"—that’s the heavily armored Cadillac limo designed to keep POTUS safe from just about anything. Now, compare that reception to the one Joe Biden gets when he dares to show his face in public. It’s night and day. Is this a preview of what’s coming in November?NGOs: $22 Billion in Migrant Handouts & 33,000 Missing KidsSpeaking of disasters, let’s talk about the latest revelation from the Department of Health and Human Services.The federal government has shelled out over $22 billion to NGOs—non-governmental organizations—for migrant aid. That’s taxpayer money going to groups that are essentially running parallel welfare states for illegal immigrants. And here’s the kicker: we’re also missing about 33,000 unaccompanied minors. That’s right, the federal government has no idea where they are. They entered the country, were processed, and then vanished. Where are these kids? Who’s responsible? We’re going to break this down, and I want to hear from you—how do we fix this disaster?Border Policies Are Working – San Diego Shelter ClosesAnd here’s a perfect example of what happens when you actually enforce immigration law. A migrant shelter in San Diego, which had been operating for six years, just closed its doors and laid off over 100 employees. Why? Because since Trump reinstated strict border control on day one, there haven’t been any new migrants to process. The CBP One app that allowed illegal crossings? Gone. The floodgates have been shut. But here’s the question—if this is working in California, why haven’t blue states learned their lesson?NYC Migrant Crime – When Will It Stop?And while we’re on the topic of failed immigration policies, let’s not forget the horror story out of New York City. A migrant transgender woman, wanted in multiple states, raped a 14-year-old boy in a bathroom. ICE had already issued a detainer for this individual, meaning they should have been in federal custody. But thanks to New York’s sanctuary city policies, this predator was still on the streets. The real question here is: how many times does this have to happen before we change course?Winter Weather Wreaks HavocAnd before we wrap up this opening segment, let’s talk about this crazy weather. Over the weekend, much of the country got slammed with a major snowstorm. New England saw heavy snowfall, and flights were delayed nationwide. Right now, we’ve got bitter cold in the Midwest, and severe storms are expected down South. We’ll be checking in on the latest weather updates throughout the show, but if you’re out there on the roads this morning—drive safe.Final Thoughts & Call to ActionSo that’s where we’re at, folks. We’ve got a packed show ahead, and I want to hear from you. Are Americans finally pushing back against the woke takeover of sports? Is Trump’s reception at Daytona a preview of November? And what do we do about the billions of dollars wasted on migrant handouts while our own citizens struggle?Call in, sound off, and let’s get the conversation going—because this is common sense conversation for the common sense citizen. Stay tuned, we’ll be right back after this break.

2.20.25 - The Joe Mangiacotti Show - Thursday

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.
Call to Action – Join the Conversation!
I want to hear from you! Are you sick of being talked down to by these smug elites? Are you tired of your hard-earned tax dollars being wasted on endless wars while Americans struggle?
Give me a call—508-871-7000—and let’s talk about it.
You’re listening to the Joe Mangiacotti Show—Common Sense Conversation for the Common Sense Citizen. We’ll be right back after this.”

2.19.25 - The Joe Mangiacotti Show - Wednesday

Opening Monologue – The Joe Mangiacotti Show
WCRN 830 AM – February 19, 2025 | 1:00 PM
Welcome back to The Joe Mangiacotti Show, where we bring common-sense conversation to the common-sense citizen. It’s Wednesday, February 19, 2025, and folks, we’ve got a jam-packed show for you today. Buckle up, because there is no shortage of insanity in the world right now, but thankfully, we’ve also got some serious wins to talk about.
Let’s start with this: President Trump just reminded America why they elected him—again. The media tried to bait him into some phony drama about Elon Musk and DOGE, but instead, Trump did what he does best—he exposed the Swamp. He pulled out a list of receipts, laid out just how corrupt Washington is, and put the bureaucrats and career politicians on notice. This wasn’t just a speech, folks—this was a moment. When’s the last time we saw a President stand up at the podium and tell the American people exactly where their tax dollars are being wasted?
And while Trump is over here cleaning up Washington, what’s happening in Maine? Oh, just another male athlete sweeping a women’s championship because the state refuses to enforce Trump’s executive order protecting girls' sports. That’s right—despite the White House laying down the law, Maine’s leadership decided they know better. A biological male just took home the state title in girls’ pole vaulting, and the media wants you to shut up and accept it. Well, I’ve got news for them—we’re not shutting up.
And speaking of shutting up—have you seen what’s happening in California? They’re trying to make it a crime to “misgender” a dead person. You heard me right. Not a joke. You can literally go to jail for referring to someone by the wrong pronoun—after they’ve already passed away. I mean, folks, this is beyond parody. Meanwhile, people are rampantly looting stores, fentanyl is pouring over the border, and the state is bleeding taxpayers—but yeah, misgendering a corpse is the big priority.
Now, I want to talk about another issue that’s flying under the radar but has massive implications—the fight for digital privacy. There’s a push from big government to monitor everything you do online, and if you think it’s about “protecting people,” think again. It’s about control—control over what you say, where you go, and even what you’re allowed to think. And here’s the kicker: they’re partnering with Big Tech to make it happen.
Finally, let’s not forget the border crisis. While D.C. politicians are wringing their hands, the reality on the ground is worse than ever. Cities are buckling under the weight of illegal immigration, crime is spiking, and Democrats are still refusing to enforce our laws. But now, under Trump’s leadership, we’re seeing real movement on securing the border once and for all. The question is—will Congress get on board, or will they keep protecting the status quo?
Folks, today’s show is going to be fiery. We’re breaking all of this down, taking your calls, and cutting through the noise. If you’re fired up like I am, stick with me—because we’ve got a lot to get into.
Alright, let’s go—first up, let’s talk about Trump’s takedown of government corruption. You’re listening to The Joe Mangiacotti Show on WCRN 830 AM—stay tuned.

2.18.25 - The Joe Mangiacotti Show - Tuesday

Opening Monologue for Tuesday, February 18, 2025 – WCRN 830 AM
Good afternoon, New England, and welcome to the show! It is Tuesday, February 18th, 2025, and we are now nearly a month into the second Trump administration. A landslide victory—a political earthquake, really—has reshaped the landscape, sent the Left into a tailspin, and given us the chance to set this country back on the path of constitutional governance, law and order, and good old-fashioned common sense.
And yet, despite the clear voice of the American people, the same old media spin machine is still cranking at full speed, still twisting history, still peddling their nonsense as though nothing has changed. But folks, things have changed. The people have spoken, and the days of the radical Left dictating what we can say, what we can think, and how we can live—those days are numbered.
Let’s start with the biggest absurdity of the week—CBS’s Margaret Brennan, who just made one of the most embarrassingly ignorant claims in recent memory. According to her, free speech was "weaponized" in Germany and led to the Holocaust. Think about that for a second. According to her, Hitler's rise wasn’t because of government overreach, censorship, or the crushing of opposition—no, it was free speech! That’s like saying oxygen caused World War II because, well, Hitler was breathing at the time.
Reality check: The Weimar Republic—the government in place before the Nazis—had some of the most aggressive hate speech laws in history. Hitler was banned from speaking. His party was prosecuted over 200 times for their speech. And yet, those laws didn’t stop the Nazis. If anything, they gave Hitler and his followers the perfect narrative to claim they were being oppressed by the government. The lesson here is clear: Censorship does not stop radicalism—it fuels it. And yet today, the Left still pushes the same lie that "hate speech" must be banned to prevent violence, when in reality, it’s government suppression that has always been the tool of tyrants.
And speaking of tyranny, let’s talk about Europe. Once again, we are watching the same pathetic display from the EU—weakness masquerading as righteousness. Trump was right to call them out years ago, and now, in his second term, he's making it clear: The United States is not going to be Europe's military babysitter. If they want security, they need to stop with the virtue signaling and start defending themselves.
The European Left, much like the one here in the U.S., has spent decades demonizing strong national defense while rolling out the red carpet for mass migration, crime, and chaos. Now, they find themselves without a spine, unable to handle a crisis unless America steps in. Well, the American people have had enough. Trump’s America First policies are back, and that means an end to writing blank checks for nations that refuse to step up.
But let’s bring this back home. Over the last four years, we’ve seen what happens when radical Leftists run the show. Cities in decay. Crime out of control. Censorship, propaganda, and government collusion with Big Tech to silence dissent. They spent years trying to destroy Trump and anyone who supported him, weaponizing the FBI, the DOJ, the IRS—heck, even school boards—to go after political opponents.
And where did it get them? A landslide loss in 2024. Because the American people see through it. They’re tired of the lies, tired of the government telling them what they can say, what they can do, and what they can believe.
Now, here’s the challenge moving forward. We won—big. But winning an election isn’t enough. If we don’t stay engaged, if we don’t hold politicians accountable, if we let our foot off the gas, then the same forces that worked so hard to steal our freedoms will be right back at it. We must fight for free speech, for real law and order, for American sovereignty. Because if we don’t, the people who pushed mask mandates, vaccine passports, censorship, and "misinformation" crackdowns are still waiting in the wings, ready to take it all back.
And let’s be honest, they aren’t going down quietly. Just look at what’s happening in the media. They are doubling down, pushing nonsense narratives, gaslighting the country—because they know that if people wake up and reject their control, their whole racket is over.
So, folks, this is our moment. We have a president in office who actually listens to you, the people. But he can’t do it alone. This fight isn’t over. This is just the beginning of reclaiming America.
We’ve got a packed show today, so grab a cigar, pour yourself a drink—this is Common Sense Conversation for the Common Sense Citizen, and we are just getting started.

2.17.25 - The Joe Mangiacotti Show - Monday

Opening Segment – WCRN 830 AM – February 17, 2025"Good morning, New England! It’s Monday,February 17th, 2025, and we’ve got a lot to get into today. But first, let’s take a moment to recognize the significance of today—it’s President’s Day, a federal holiday, a day when banks are closed, the post office takes a break, and if you’re lucky, you’ve got the day off. But what is President’s Day really about?"The History of President’s DayOriginally, this holiday started as a way to celebrate George Washington’s birthday on February 22nd. Over time, it evolved into a day honoring all U.S. Presidents, particularly Washington and Lincoln, who was born on February 12th. But let’s be honest—how many Americans are actually reflecting on presidential history today, and how many are just happy for the long weekend? Maybe the better question is: how do we feel about the presidency today, and where do we stand as a nation under its leadership? We’ll get into that.Canada Hockey Booing – Have We Had Enough?Now, let’s talk about what happened over the weekend at a hockey game in Canada. The crowd erupted in boos during a moment that was supposed to honor "diversity" and "inclusion." Now, we’re not talking about a respectful silence—we’re talking loud, raucous booing. And it begs the question: are people finally pushing back against the woke agenda infiltrating every corner of sports, entertainment, and daily life? Or was this just an isolated moment? The backlash is real, and it’s happening across North America.Daytona 500 – Trump Gets a Hero’s WelcomeMeanwhile, down in Florida, we saw something completely different. Donald Trump made his grand return to the Daytona 500, and the crowd went wild. He got a standing ovation, the kind of welcome that says, "This is still Trump country!" And in a moment straight out of a movie, he took the ceremonial lap in "The Beast"—that’s the heavily armored Cadillac limo designed to keep POTUS safe from just about anything. Now, compare that reception to the one Joe Biden gets when he dares to show his face in public. It’s night and day. Is this a preview of what’s coming in November?NGOs: $22 Billion in Migrant Handouts & 33,000 Missing KidsSpeaking of disasters, let’s talk about the latest revelation from the Department of Health and Human Services.The federal government has shelled out over $22 billion to NGOs—non-governmental organizations—for migrant aid. That’s taxpayer money going to groups that are essentially running parallel welfare states for illegal immigrants. And here’s the kicker: we’re also missing about 33,000 unaccompanied minors. That’s right, the federal government has no idea where they are. They entered the country, were processed, and then vanished. Where are these kids? Who’s responsible? We’re going to break this down, and I want to hear from you—how do we fix this disaster?Border Policies Are Working – San Diego Shelter ClosesAnd here’s a perfect example of what happens when you actually enforce immigration law. A migrant shelter in San Diego, which had been operating for six years, just closed its doors and laid off over 100 employees. Why? Because since Trump reinstated strict border control on day one, there haven’t been any new migrants to process. The CBP One app that allowed illegal crossings? Gone. The floodgates have been shut. But here’s the question—if this is working in California, why haven’t blue states learned their lesson?NYC Migrant Crime – When Will It Stop?And while we’re on the topic of failed immigration policies, let’s not forget the horror story out of New York City. A migrant transgender woman, wanted in multiple states, raped a 14-year-old boy in a bathroom. ICE had already issued a detainer for this individual, meaning they should have been in federal custody. But thanks to New York’s sanctuary city policies, this predator was still on the streets. The real question here is: how many times does this have to happen before we change course?Winter Weather Wreaks HavocAnd before we wrap up this opening segment, let’s talk about this crazy weather. Over the weekend, much of the country got slammed with a major snowstorm. New England saw heavy snowfall, and flights were delayed nationwide. Right now, we’ve got bitter cold in the Midwest, and severe storms are expected down South. We’ll be checking in on the latest weather updates throughout the show, but if you’re out there on the roads this morning—drive safe.Final Thoughts & Call to ActionSo that’s where we’re at, folks. We’ve got a packed show ahead, and I want to hear from you. Are Americans finally pushing back against the woke takeover of sports? Is Trump’s reception at Daytona a preview of November? And what do we do about the billions of dollars wasted on migrant handouts while our own citizens struggle?Call in, sound off, and let’s get the conversation going—because this is common sense conversation for the common sense citizen. Stay tuned, we’ll be right back after this break.
