The Joe Mangiacotti Show

The Joe Mangiacotti Show — Opening Segment Broadcast Date: Wednesday, April 17, 2025 Segment Title: Common Sense Isn’t Dead — But It’s Being Ignored "From the center of the dial, the center of New England, and the center of common sense — you’re listening to The Joe Mangiacotti Show. I’m your host, Joe Mangiacotti. Welcome in, Patriots." Let me ask you this — since when did enforcing the law become controversial? Because based on the numbers, most Americans — Democrats, Republicans, Independents, you name it — agree: if you’re a criminal and you're not a citizen, you don’t belong in this country. Period. That’s not radical. That’s not far-right. That’s common sense. According to a brand-new Rasmussen poll, a whopping 56% of likely voters — that’s over half the country — say it’s very important to deport criminal migrants. Only 5% said it’s not important at all. Five percent. That’s less than your average margin of error. And here’s where it gets interesting: 43% of Democrats say deportation of criminal migrants is very important. So this isn’t just a conservative issue. It’s a national law-and-order consensus. But while the voters are united, Washington is once again off doing its own thing. STORY #1 – The Criminal Migrant Poll • Rasmussen (April 15–17): 56% of voters want criminal migrants deported; only 5% disagree. • Even among Democrats, 43% say it’s very important. • Majorities of Hispanic and Black voters agree with that stance. • Takeaway? This isn’t about race. It’s about safety. It’s about sovereignty. STORY #2 – Trump’s Message on Deportation • Trump’s hammering this issue on social media: “How can Biden let millions of criminals into our Country… yet I’m expected to go through a lengthy legal process, one by one?” • Trump warns: “You can’t give every criminal alien a trial — that would take 200 years.” • He’s right. The current system isn’t just broken — it’s insane. STORY #3 – Bukele Speaks Truth to Power • El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele met with Trump and made it plain: “You cannot just free the criminals and think crime is going to go down magically… imprison them so you can liberate 350 million Americans.” • 43% of Americans strongly agreed with Bukele. • He’s not wrong. Crime is oppression. Enforcing the law is liberation. STORY #4 – Rep. Maxwell Frost & MS-13 • Rep. Frost (D-FL), along with 3 other progressive lawmakers, is in El Salvador — not to thank Bukele for jailing gang members, no — they’re there to pressure him to release Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a confirmed MS-13 gang member, whose own wife says he beat her. • DHS has already confirmed Garcia's gang ties. Two immigration judges ruled the same. • But Frost & friends say he should be released because... well, we’re not really sure why. • Then it gets worse: Bukele calls out Frost for a 2016 tweet that seemed to glorify gang culture: “fuckin wit my gang gon get u spilled” • Frost says it’s just a rap lyric. Maybe. But it’s a bad look when you’re advocating for gang members while quoting gang lingo. STORY #5 – Tesla Vandal in Minnesota Gets Diversion • And meanwhile, here at home in Minnesota, we’ve got Tem Waltz — son of the governor — caught vandalizing a Tesla in broad daylight. • What happens? He’s not charged. Gets diversion. • So let me get this straight… if you vandalize someone’s property, you get a second chance. But if you’re a law-abiding citizen questioning your government, you’re labeled a domestic threat? • Again — this is about law and order. And double standards. Common Sense Commentary Folks, we are a nation of laws. Not of exceptions. Not of "diversions" for the elite. Not of "compassion" for criminal gangs while Americans suffer. When a majority of voters across all races and parties say they want criminals removed — when even foreign presidents like Bukele sound more American than some of our own lawmakers — it’s time we ask: who are our leaders really listening to? Because they’re not listening to us. Insightful Questions for...

The Joe Mangiacotti Show airing Thursday, April 17th, 2025 From the center of the dial, the center of New England, and the center of information—this is The Joe Mangiacotti Show, and I’m Joe Mangiacotti. Common sense conversation for the common sense citizen. It’s Thursday, April 17th, 2025—1:00 PM on your dial, AM 830 WCRN Radio Central—and as always, we are broadcasting from high above Worcester, reaching out to all six New England states and streaming coast to coast, across the fruited plain, via WCRNradio.com. All right folks, let’s get into it. We’ve got a lot on the table today—some of it predictable, some of it, frankly, jaw-dropping—but all of it deserves a good old-fashioned dose of common sense. And we’ll start with this: The Democratic Party, or at least a loud and restless part of it, is once again eating its own. Now if you haven’t heard, David Hogg—yes, that David Hogg, the 25-year-old Parkland survivor turned activist—who’s somehow now the Vice Chair of the DNC—is actively working to primary sitting Democratic House members in 2026. His group, “Leaders We Deserve”—which honestly sounds more like a college poetry club than a political machine—is pledging 20 million dollars to challenge entrenched Democrats in safe blue districts. Let that sink in. The Vice Chair of the DNC is funding attacks... on Democrats. Now look, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I don’t mind watching the left implode—who doesn't love a good circular firing squad? But this isn’t just political in-fighting, this is generational warfare. This is ideological purification. Hogg’s not going after purple-district moderates. He’s not trying to flip seats red to blue. No, no—he’s targeting his own side, the ones who aren't progressive enough for his tastes. Why? Because in his words, too many Democrats are “asleep at the wheel, out-of-touch, and ineffective.” Now, I’d agree with him if we were talking about Joe Biden’s presidency—but he’s not. He’s talking about fellow progressives who just aren’t “progressive enough.” And folks, this isn’t just a strategy problem. It’s a worldview problem. This is what happens when politics becomes about activism rather than governance. When emotion outweighs experience. When ideology trumps logic. You know, it reminds me of that old saying—“the revolution eats its own.” And make no mistake, that’s exactly what we’re watching. Now, speaking of progressive darlings and ideological purists—guess who Nate Silver, the so-called data wizard, says is the frontrunner for the 2028 Democratic presidential ticket? Nope, not Gavin Newsom, not Kamala Harris—although she’s still hanging around like a guest who won’t leave the party. Not even Josh Shapiro, the moderate governor from Pennsylvania. Nope. According to Silver and his sidekick over on Substack, the number one draft pick for 2028 is... wait for it... Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. That’s right. AOC. The Congresswoman from Twitter. The queen of the hashtag revolution. The woman who brought us the Green New Deal, supported defunding the police, and once livestreamed her cooking dinner while explaining modern monetary theory—incorrectly, I might add. Now, let me be clear: AOC is charismatic. She’s savvy. She knows how to manipulate media and mobilize young voters. But presidential material? That’s a whole different ballgame. Silver says she has broad appeal and fervent support—and sure, among a specific slice of the Democratic base, she does. But let’s not confuse Twitter popularity with national electability. You don’t win the White House on TikTok videos and Occupy Wall Street vibes. And if she is the best they’ve got? Well, folks, I like our chances in 2028. But it speaks volumes about where the Democratic Party is headed. They’re not moving center. They’re not regrouping after their losses in 2024. They’re doubling down. They’re radicalizing. They’re treating elections like activist rallies instead of reality checks. It’s why their messaging...

THE JOE MANGIACOTTI SHOW – OPENING MONOLOGUE Wednesday, April 16, 2025 Good morning, New England—and good morning, America. You’re tuned into The Joe Mangiacotti Show, where we don’t chase the headlines—we interrogate them. We don’t take the narrative—we flip it over and see what’s underneath. It’s Wednesday, April 16th, 2025, and today, we’ve got five stories that, while very different on the surface, are all threads in the same bigger picture—one of truth, hypocrisy, accountability, and the long overdue return of common sense. Let’s kick things off with a story that’s breaking wide open—New York Attorney General Letitia James. You remember her—she’s the one who built her political brand on “no one is above the law,” especially when that law had the name Trump anywhere near it. Well, this week, in a stunning twist of poetic justice, she is the one in the hot seat. James has now been hit with a federal criminal referral for alleged mortgage fraud. Not from a right-wing blogger, not from an angry landlord—no, from the Federal Housing Finance Agency. According to the referral, she may have falsified documents—claiming a home in Virginia was her “primary residence” in order to secure better mortgage terms. All this while she was still the Attorney General of New York, a position that legally requires her to reside in New York. Now why would someone claim a different residence on a mortgage application? Well, because it can mean a lower interest rate, better loan terms, and yes—fraud if it’s not true. She’s also accused of misrepresenting a Brooklyn property as having four units instead of five, which could have allowed her to qualify for loan programs intended for smaller properties. Folks, these aren’t minor clerical errors. We’re talking about false statements to financial institutions, bank fraud, even wire fraud. If it sounds familiar, it should. These are the very types of charges her office slapped on Donald Trump and his family—charges that led to a $454 million judgment. As one legal analyst put it: “If we apply the Letitia James standard that she created, there’d be little question here. This seems pretty straightforward.” So here’s the question—will she be held to her own standard? Or was “no one above the law” just a political slogan meant for other people? Now let’s pivot—across the Atlantic, but still in the realm of sanity returning to public life. In the UK this week, the Supreme Court ruled unanimously—yes, unanimously—that biological sex is real and matters in the law. The court struck down Scotland’s attempt to redefine the legal definition of “woman” to include biological males who identify as female. The ruling was clear: sex is “an immutable biological state,” and the law must reflect that reality—not individual identity claims. Imagine that. In 2025, we’re cheering for five judges who had to state the obvious: that a woman is an adult human female. But that’s where we are. Because in recent years, stating the obvious has become revolutionary. And let’s not forget who brought this case: For Women Scotland, a grassroots group fighting to preserve women's spaces, protections, and rights. And backing them? None other than J.K. Rowling, who’s been villainized and canceled by the left for daring to defend biological truth. This wasn’t about hate. It was about reality—and making sure public policy doesn't erase it. This ruling isn’t just a legal victory. It’s a signal—a cultural turning point. Because when a government starts saying your sex is whatever you put on a form, women lose their protections, sports lose their fairness, and language loses its meaning. And now we come to Jennifer Sey—a name you should know. She was the president of Levi Strauss & Co., on track to be the next CEO, until she made one unforgivable mistake: she publicly opposed school closures during COVID. She didn’t say the virus wasn’t real. She didn’t spread conspiracy theories. She simply said: “Hey, maybe locking kids out of classrooms...

THE JOE MANGIACOTTI SHOW — OPENING MONOLOGUE — APRIL 15TH, 2025 Good morning, good afternoon, or good evening—wherever you are in New England or across the nation. You’re listening to The Joe Mangiacotti Show, right here on WCRN 830 AM — Radio Central — from the center of the dial, the center of New England, and the center of common sense! Today is Tuesday, April 15th — Tax Day — the day when the government lovingly reminds us who’s really in charge of our wallets. Yes, folks, the IRS wants its cut. And no matter how much they waste, mismanage, or funnel into DEI consultants and bureaucratic bloat, the taxman never sleeps. But fear not—because we’ve got 12 full minutes of real talk to kick things off, and let me tell you, we are not short on insanity this week. Let’s start with the headlines they don’t want you talking about… STORY 1: The Whistleblower Bombshell Against Gov. Shapiro Now, imagine this—it’s July 2024, and a whistleblower, a former Pennsylvania State Police officer, tries to blow the lid off what he claims was a high-level conspiracy to assassinate President Donald J. Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. You heard me right. According to the criminal complaint, Governor Josh Shapiro, with alleged help from top officials—and even whispered meetings with Joe Biden himself—played a "key role" in organizing and green-lighting an attack on the leading candidate in the 2024 race. Now, you might be wondering, “Why haven’t I heard about this?” Well, that’s because every single legacy media outlet is treating this like it's radioactive. Radio silence. Meanwhile, the whistleblower claims he was blocked by the Biden administration, ignored by the FBI, and even brushed off by the Secret Service. Let me ask you something, America: If these allegations had named a Republican governor and Joe Trump, do you think MSNBC wouldn’t be running wall-to-wall coverage? We deserve answers—and we’ll be staying on top of this. STORY 2: Arson Attack on Gov. Shapiro’s Residence And in a strange twist of timing, we had an alleged arson attack on Shapiro’s residence. A man named Cody Balmer, who’s now in the hospital for unrelated issues, reportedly told police he planned to beat Shapiro with a hammer. Now listen—no one on this show condones violence. Let me say that clearly. But what’s fascinating here is how both parties are rallying around Shapiro, calling this “an assault on democracy.” But where were these same voices when pro-life centers were firebombed? When Supreme Court justices had mobs outside their homes? Selective outrage, my friends—it’s the new American tradition. STORY 3: Harvard Says No to Reform, Trump Says No to $2 Billion Over at Harvard, the elite are having a meltdown. After the Trump administration demanded reforms to stop antisemitism and bring viewpoint diversity back to campus, Harvard basically said, “No thanks.” So, Trump froze over $2 billion in federal funds. And you know what? Good. The demands were simple: merit-based admissions, screen out anti-American radicals, reduce DEI bloat, and let external auditors assess the ideological cult that’s taken over the place. But Harvard clung to their ivory tower like it’s 1968 all over again. They’ve had 15 months to clean up after the explosion of antisemitism that followed the Hamas terror attacks in 2023. Instead, they tripled down on censorship, safe spaces, and Marxist drivel. And I say, it’s about time someone in Washington had the guts to call them out. STORY 4: Meta vs. the FTC—Zuckerberg on Trial Next up: Mark Zuckerberg in the hot seat. That’s right—Zuck testified Monday in an antitrust trial led by Trump’s Federal Trade Commission. The feds say Meta cornered the social media market by gobbling up WhatsApp and Instagram. Zuckerberg says, “Hey, don’t look at us—TikTok is competition!” But the truth is, we’ve let these tech oligarchs become the gatekeepers of information, free speech, and even elections. If Trump’s FTC has the backbone...

The Joe Mangiacotti Show on Thursday, April 14th, 2025, “When a judge tells the government to effectuate the return of a suspected MS-13 gang member — and the White House insists they were only supposed to facilitate it — folks, we’ve got a problem that goes way beyond grammar.” This isn’t a typo in a text message or a slip of the tongue in a press conference — this is the United States government being ordered to potentially retrieve a man with ties to one of the most violent gangs on Earth… and we're quibbling over verbs. Good morning, common-sense citizens. You’re listening to The Joe Mangiacotti Show, and I’m Joe Mangiacotti — coming to you from the center of the dial, the center of New England, and the center of common-sense conversation. AM 830 WCRN — Radio Central. And this morning, we’re not just talking about immigration policy. We’re talking about national security, bureaucratic blunders, and the twisted logic of a legal system that sometimes seems more worried about the rights of criminals than the safety of Americans. [Segment 1 – The Case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia] Here’s the story in plain English: March 12 — ICE arrests Kilmar Abrego Garcia in a parking lot. His autistic son is in the car. A difficult situation already, right? March 15 — Garcia is deported back to El Salvador. Only one problem: He wasn’t supposed to be deported. In 2019, a judge ruled he couldn’t be sent back because he might face torture or persecution. That same ruling also labeled him a danger to the community, citing possible ties to MS-13 and even human trafficking. So we’ve got a guy ICE believes is part of a vicious international gang — and now, due to what’s being called an “administrative error,” he’s out of the country, in the hands of foreign officials… and a federal judge says we have to bring him back? Really? The Supreme Court weighed in. They didn’t say we had to effectuate — actually bring him back — but that we had to facilitate his return. Legal hair-splitting? Maybe. But Judge Paula Xinis has now ordered the Trump administration to take “all available steps” to get this man back onto U.S. soil. Here’s the catch: El Salvador has him. He’s in their custody. And the Trump administration missed the court’s Friday deadline to present a return plan, calling it “impractical.” Impractical? That might be putting it lightly. This isn’t a lost Amazon package. It’s a foreign national with gang ties, and we’re wrapped up in a bureaucratic tug-of-war over which verb to use? Let me ask you — why would we fight to bring back someone our agencies believe is a human trafficker, a gang member, and a danger to our communities, who is currently detained by a foreign government? If you’ve got an answer that makes sense — call me. Seriously. 508-556-4411. [Segment 2 – Political Optics vs Public Safety] Now let’s look at this from the political angle. This whole case is being used as political ammunition to claim that Trump’s immigration policies are “reckless” or “unlawful.” But where’s the focus on the actual threat here? Where’s the conversation about why judges are protecting gang members from deportation in the first place? Where’s the outrage from the left — the same left that wants to abolish ICE and throw open the borders — when violent criminals are allowed to stay because someone fears they’ll be mistreated back home? Imagine being the parent of a child murdered by MS-13 — and hearing that the U.S. is fighting in court to bring one of their members back. Think about that for a second. We’re not “facilitating” justice. We’re facilitating insanity. [Segment 3 – The Firebombing of Governor Josh Shapiro] And speaking of insanity, let’s shift gears — just slightly — to Pennsylvania. A 38-year-old man, Cody Balmer, father of five, was just arrested for attempting to firebomb the home of sitting Governor Josh Shapiro. This wasn’t a protest. This wasn’t a prank. This was an attempted political assassination — complete...

The Joe Mangiacotti Show – April 10, 2025 Good morning, New England. I’m Joe Mangiacotti, and you’re tuned into The Joe Mangiacotti Show, right here on WCRN, AM 830. Broadcasting from the center of the dial, the center of New England, and the center of real talk—the kind of conversation that brings common sense back into the fold. Let’s not waste any time, folks. We’ve got a lineup of stories today that span everything from political corruption to the latest international conflicts. And I promise you, after hearing what I have to say, you won’t look at the world the same way. Let’s dive right in. 1. The Fall of the Incumbent: Biden’s Final Months Revealed – Will the Democrats Ditch Him? First up—President Joe Biden. As the calendar flips toward the final months of his first term, the cracks are starting to show. The big question everyone is asking: Is he going to make it to the finish line? With Biden's approval numbers in a tailspin and the Democrats scrambling to find a way out, we’re seeing a party in disarray. Let’s face it: Biden’s presidency hasn’t exactly been a smooth ride. Between the disaster in Afghanistan, the skyrocketing inflation rates, and the growing crisis at the southern border, the man’s had a tough go of it. Now, we’re hearing murmurs about potential challengers within his own party. Could a challenger emerge from the left? Could someone from the moderate wing step up to save the Democrats from the implosion we’re witnessing? It’s almost as if the Democrats are realizing that a sitting president—their president—might not make it to the next election. And that’s not something they want to think about. But the reality is, with the way things are going, Biden might soon be forced to step aside. The question is—who’s ready to take his place? 2. China Threatens to Kill More Americans Over Tariffs—And the Media Yawns – Why Aren’t We Paying Attention? Switching gears, let’s talk about China. I don’t know about you, but I’m getting tired of hearing how we’ve let China dictate the terms of our lives. Now, on top of tariffs and economic back-and-forth, we have the Chinese government threatening to flood the U.S. with fentanyl in retaliation for the latest round of tariffs. For those of you keeping score at home, fentanyl is a killer. It’s responsible for tens of thousands of deaths every year, and now, China’s dangling the prospect of more poisoning in front of us as part of its economic strategy. Yet, how much of this do we hear about in the media? Hardly anything. And when it is covered, it’s treated like it’s just another trade dispute. No big deal, right? I’m here to tell you—this is a big deal. We’re talking about a foreign government actively making decisions that threaten the lives of American citizens, and our leadership seems content to look the other way. China’s behavior should be the top story of the day, but instead, we’re distracted by things that have little to do with our immediate safety. Where is the outrage? 3. Dead Men Filing: DOGE Unleashes the Fraud Report of the Century – Crypto’s Dirty Secret Next up—cryptocurrency. You remember the hype, right? Everyone was on board, buying up digital coins like they were going out of style. But now, we’ve got a major scandal coming out of the crypto world, and it’s worse than anything you’ve seen in the stock market. We’re talking about a report detailing how dead men are filing for crypto claims. That’s right—people who aren’t even alive are apparently making money off digital currencies. And you want to talk about fraud? Well, this report has uncovered fraudulent activities of a scale that could make Bernie Madoff look like a boy scout. The bottom line is this: Crypto is a mess. And while the media and tech bros like to paint it as the future of finance, the reality is much darker. There’s corruption, fraud, and a complete lack of oversight. And the fact that people are still buying into it? That’s the real scandal. 4. FAFO in Action: When...

Opening Script for The Joe Mangiacotti Show – April 9th, 2025 Good afternoon, New England, and welcome to another episode of The Joe Mangiacotti Show right here on WCRN 830 AM, Radio Central. It’s 1 PM, and I’m Joe Mangiacotti, bringing you the latest from across the nation and the world—straight to the heart of New England. Today’s show, folks, has a lot to unpack. We’re talking about some of the most disturbing stories you’ll hear in the news. From government accountability and scandal to a culture of violence and tragic, senseless crimes—there’s no shortage of troubling developments. Let’s dive right in. Let’s kick things off with a story that could shake the very foundation of our housing system. This one hits close to home, especially when it comes to trust in government agencies and their role in safeguarding public interests. The Federal Housing Finance Agency has confirmed that Fannie Mae—the huge government-backed mortgage corporation—is cleaning house, firing over 100 employees for engaging in unethical conduct, including fraud. That’s right, these employees were facilitating fraud in housing loans. But here’s the thing, folks—firing people isn’t enough. If these individuals were indeed involved in fraudulent activity, they need to face criminal prosecution. Why aren’t we seeing arrests? These are government regulators overseeing two of the largest players in the mortgage industry: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. They must be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law. If they’re guilty, they should be prosecuted. It’s one thing for a company to fire employees for misconduct—it’s another for that misconduct to be tied to national security and taxpayer money. [Pause] From fraud to violence, let’s move on to something that should make us all incredibly uneasy. A new survey has found that nearly half of liberals believe it’s “at least somewhat justified” to assassinate President Donald Trump. Yes, you heard me right. According to the Network Contagion Research Institute, 48% of people left of center justified the murder of Elon Musk, and 55% said it was okay when it comes to President Trump. This is an absolute cultural shift we’re witnessing. And the problem isn’t just the numbers—it’s that this mentality has become so deeply embedded in online discourse. We’ve got a culture of violence being normalized and even glorified by some of the most powerful voices in media. It’s beyond disturbing to think that the political divide is pushing us toward the idea of murder being an acceptable political tool. And the problem is growing—violence as a form of protest is now seen as valid by some corners of society. It’s time we have a real conversation about civility, accountability, and what’s happening to us as a nation. [Pause] Next, we’re diving into a heart-wrenching tragedy out of California. Mario Edgardo Garcia-Aquino, a youth soccer coach, is accused of sexually abusing and murdering his 13-year-old player, Oscar Hernandez. The kicker? Garcia-Aquino was living in the United States illegally. This is a crime of betrayal—the kind of crime that no parent should ever have to endure. Oscar Hernandez was just a 13-year-old boy who trusted his soccer coach, who thought he was in safe hands. But that trust was shattered when Garcia-Aquino abused and murdered him after luring him to a meeting. Oscar was reported missing, and days later, his body was found. And it gets worse—Garcia-Aquino has a history of sexual abuse against minors. It’s horrifying to think that this predator was free to do what he did because officials failed to uphold immigration laws. Now, ICE has lodged a detainer against Garcia-Aquino, but will Los Angeles—a sanctuary city—honor that detainer? We’ll have to wait and see. This tragic story has one clear message: enough is enough. When a crime like this happens, it’s a wake-up call for the need to enforce the laws. How many more innocent lives will be affected before we have real consequences...

The Joe Mangiacotti Show on WCRN 830 AM Good morning, my friends. You’re tuned in to The Joe Mangiacotti Show—common sense conversation for the common sense citizen, right here on AM 830 WCRN, broadcasting from the center of the dial, the center of New England, and the center of information. We’ve got a full docket this morning, and I want to start by reminding you that the Constitution still matters. Law and order still matter. And if common sense has anything to say about it—we're not done fighting for either. Let’s start with some good news—yes, that still exists. The U.S. Supreme Court has just lifted Judge Boasberg’s order blocking the Trump administration from deporting suspected members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua—under the Alien Enemies Act. That's right. In a 5-4 ruling, the high court said, “Enough. You want to challenge this? Take it to the right court—in Texas—where these people are actually being detained.” Imagine that… venue actually matters! Now look, folks, this isn’t some obscure procedural win—this is the Court reinforcing a basic truth: national security is not a political football. President Trump invoked a wartime statute from 1798 to respond to what he rightly called an “incursion” by these violent gang elements. And I don't know about you, but I’d rather see gang members heading for CECOT in El Salvador than roaming free on our streets. Now, I hear the cries from the left, “Oh, this is unprecedented,” “This is dangerous.” Justice Sotomayor says it’s an “extraordinary threat to the rule of law.” Really? You mean protecting citizens from violent criminal gangs is now a “threat to the rule of law”? Friends, if the rule of law doesn’t protect the innocent and punish the guilty, it’s not law—it’s tyranny. And speaking of tyranny, let’s talk about what happened at Grace Baptist Church in Connecticut. Representative Jasmine Crockett—yes, her again—had the gall to say, and I quote, “We done picking cotton.” She was trying to justify illegal immigration—saying we need people to do farm work Americans won’t do. Now hold on. Let’s unpack this. First off, this is deeply offensive on so many levels. She essentially said that illegal immigrants are here to be our modern-day slaves—our “cotton pickers.” That’s not only racially charged—it’s morally bankrupt. We don’t need illegal immigration to run our economy. We need lawful immigration that respects our borders and our laws. And let’s not kid ourselves. The folks we’re deporting under the Alien Enemies Act aren’t harvesting crops—they’re trafficking humans, pushing fentanyl, and terrorizing communities. Jasmine Crockett is not just wrong—she’s dangerously out of touch. And here's where the conversation gets darker—because the rhetoric on the Left isn’t just clueless—it’s becoming violent. A new report from the Network Contagion Research Institute and Rutgers University shows an alarming trend: nearly half of self-described liberals think political violence—yes, assassination—against President Trump or Elon Musk is at least “somewhat justified.” Let that sink in. We’re not talking about disagreeing on tax policy here. We're talking about people—tens of thousands—saying it’s okay to kill a political opponent. This isn't “tolerance.” This isn’t “equity.” This is flat-out fascism, dressed up in woke clothing. And yet the same media that freaks out when someone questions a voting machine is silent—dead silent—when actual, credible threats of violence are normalized by the Left. Remember when Republicans were mocked for calling out political violence? Well, turns out we were right. And now, we’re watching it unfold in real time. And just when you think the temperature couldn't rise any higher—we’ve got the Biden administration’s silence. Deafening. Not a word about the survey. Not a word about the assassination rhetoric. Nothing but a wink and a nod. Because let’s face it—they benefit from the chaos. And speaking of chaos, this administration’s...

This is the intro to The Joe Mangiacotti Show airing on WCRN 830 AM on April 7th, 2025 Well, well, well… Welcome back to The Joe Mangiacotti Show, folks—your home for common sense conversation for the common sense citizen. We're coming to you live from the center of the dial, the center of New England, and the center of information—AM 830 WCRN, Radio Central. It is Monday, April 7th, 2025… and as always, I’m glad you’re here with me—because we’ve got a full plate today. And I mean loaded. The headlines this week have been nothing short of outrageous. Disturbing. In some cases, downright unbelievable—but you know what? Around here, we do the one thing the media refuses to: We break it down with facts, clarity, and a whole lotta common sense. Let’s start here: How many times do you have to break into someone’s house before they finally lock the door—for good? Well apparently, in America, 40 is still not enough. Yeah, I said it. 40 times. A Mexican national named Julian Estrada-Garcia—with a rap sheet longer than a CVS receipt—was just deported from the United States… for the 40th time. That’s not a typo, folks. Not 4. Not 14. Forty. He’s got convictions for DUI, drugs, fraud, and four separate charges for illegal re-entry. This guy wasn’t just slipping over the border for a better life—he was gaming the system, committing crimes, and thumbing his nose at our laws… And yet… we keep letting him in. This, my friends, is the real cost of open-border policies. It’s not theoretical—it’s not partisan—it’s right there in front of us. This is about public safety, plain and simple. And speaking of the rule of law being twisted beyond recognition… Congressman Andy Biggs—who has never been afraid to shake the foundation of D.C.—has just filed a bombshell resolution to remove a sitting federal judge, James Boasberg… without going through the usual two-thirds Senate vote. Now that’s bold. Unprecedented? Maybe. But unconstitutional? Not necessarily. Biggs says Boasberg has repeatedly abused his position, undermined President Trump’s executive authority, and blocked efforts to deport violent foreign gang members under the Alien Enemies Act. Think about that: You’ve got the President of the United States—lawfully invoking a 1798 law to protect American citizens from known violent operatives— and a rogue judge steps in and says, “Nope. Not on my watch.” That’s not justice. That’s not independence. That’s not balance of power. That’s activism in a robe—and Biggs is saying enough is enough. He’s invoking the Good Behavior Clause under Article III, Section 1 of the Constitution—arguing that judges who no longer act in good behavior can be removed by a simple majority in Congress, just like they were confirmed. Now I know, I know… legal scholars are already screaming “constitutional crisis!” But I ask you—who is really creating the crisis? Is it Congress doing its job… or is it unelected judges overstepping their bounds and interfering with national security? We’ll unpack all of this, and I want your thoughts—because this affects every single American. Also coming up today… We’ll talk about ICE’s latest operation in Houston, where Estrada-Garcia was finally rounded up—alongside over 170 illegal migrants, many with serious criminal records. We’ll dive into why ICE is now maxed out on detention space, and how the Trump administration’s renewed enforcement push is both working… and being resisted at every turn. We’ll talk about how we got here—and how we turn the tide. We’ve got constitutional questions, legal power struggles, executive authority, border security… and of course, the one thing you won’t hear on the networks: The truth, backed by reason. And folks—I’ll say it again: This show isn’t about Left or Right—it’s about Right and Wrong. If that makes you uncomfortable, maybe you’ve been listening to the wrong shows. But if you’re here for real talk, with real respect, and a little fire in the belly? Then grab your coffee, lean...

The Joe Mangiacotti Show – Opening Monologue Thursday, April 3, 2025 – WCRN 830 AM Good morning, New England! Welcome to The Joe Mangiacotti Show—where common sense is king, where the Constitution is sacred, and where we stand firm on the bedrock principles of law and order. Folks, it is Thursday, April 3rd, 2025, and we are just over two months into President Donald J. Trump’s second term. And I’ll tell you what—he’s wasting no time cleaning up the disaster the Left left behind. And guess what? They’re losing their minds over it. This morning, we’re hitting four major stories, all connected by one common theme: 👉 Restoring law and order in America and the Left’s desperate fight against it. We’ve got: · MS-13 thugs getting arrested instead of being coddled by the system. · The DNC suing to protect illegal voting. · Another Soros-backed DA refusing to prosecute real crime. · And a “migrant hotel” turning into a crime hub. Folks, this is the America First agenda in action. The system is being cleaned up, but the Left is trying to stop it at every turn. Let’s break it all down. MS-13 Leader Arrested – A Major Win for Law & Order So, let’s start with a little good news for once, shall we? The FBI just took down a high-ranking MS-13 leader—Joel Vargas-Escobar—who is responsible for orchestrating at least 11 murders. Let’s get this straight: · He’s an illegal alien. · He was already deported once. · He snuck back in under Biden’s open borders. · And he kept running MS-13 operations like nothing happened. Folks, this is EXACTLY why President Trump’s border policies mattered. This guy should have never been here in the first place! But because the Left let the border become a free-for-all under Biden, violent criminals like him had free rein. And where did they finally catch him? Long Island, New York. Why? Because sanctuary policies let gangs thrive! Now, under President Trump, we are seeing law enforcement actually do their job—rounding up these thugs, enforcing the law, and removing the cancer from our communities. But here’s the real question: Why are we even dealing with this at all? Why does the Left keep defending sanctuary policies? And that leads us to… Schumer, The DNC, and the Left’s War on Election Integrity Folks, if you thought the Left’s love affair with lawlessness stopped at MS-13, think again. They just filed a lawsuit against Trump’s executive order to enforce election laws. You heard me right. The Democrats are suing because Trump wants to make sure only U.S. citizens vote. The executive order does a few simple, commonsense things: ✔️ Requires proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote. ✔️ Orders voter rolls to be cleaned up—removing dead voters, noncitizens, and duplicates. ✔️ Stops states from counting mail-in ballots after Election Day. And for that, Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, and the DNC are screaming about “voter suppression.” Excuse me? Suppression? Folks, if you have to cheat to win, you don’t deserve to be in office! And let’s not forget—who’s leading the lawsuit? Marc Elias. The same Democrat lawyer who helped peddle the bogus Steele dossier back in 2016. They never stop scheming. Soros-Backed DA Lets Criminals Walk—But Trump is the “Threat”? While the DNC is fighting to protect illegal voting, their Soros-backed prosecutors are letting criminals walk free. Down in Philadelphia, a repeat violent offender was released without bail by one of these soft-on-crime DAs. This guy already had multiple convictions—but instead of keeping him behind bars, they let him go. And guess what? He committed another violent assault within days. And this isn’t just Philly—it’s happening in New York, Chicago, LA… every major blue city is being run into the ground by these activist prosecutors who refuse to do their jobs. But somehow, Trump is the “danger” to democracy? Give me a break. Migrant Hotels Turning Into Crime Hubs And speaking of criminal insanity, let’s talk about the “migrant...

Opening Script for The Joe Mangiacotti Show – April 2, 2025 – WCRN Welcome to The Joe Mangiacotti Show, folks! It’s Wednesday, April 2nd, 2025, and we’ve got a loaded show for you today. Grab your coffee, buckle up, and let’s dive into the madness of our political world. And let’s start with a little something I like to call… ‘Truth Bomb Wednesday.’ Look, it’s not like we didn’t see it coming, but the Democratic Party has officially devoured itself. For months, we heard the whispers. The leaks. The carefully placed hit pieces. Joe Biden was being stabbed in the back by his own party. The progressive wing wanted him gone. The establishment Dems thought he was a liability. And the media? Well, they got their marching orders and started to pile on. New York Times, CNN, MSNBC—they all played their part in the slow-motion assassination of Joe Biden’s political career. But here’s the kicker—on his way out the door, Biden got his revenge. Oh, you better believe it. Because in one final middle finger to the Democratic Party, Biden endorsed Kamala Harris. That’s right. Kamala Harris. The least liked, least electable Democrat since Hillary Clinton. And the Democrats can’t stand it. Think about it—Biden knew what he was doing. He saw the party working against him, he knew they were plotting behind the scenes to shove him out, and in a last, calculated move, he throws Harris at them and says, ‘Good luck with that.’ Now, the Democratic Party is stuck. And they are in full panic mode. Now, let’s pivot to another mess—because while the Democrats are eating each other alive, we’ve got insanity going on at the border. Take this story: The Trump administration deported a known MS-13 gang member back to El Salvador, and now the left wants to cry about it. Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a guy with suspected ties to human trafficking, was removed under the Alien Enemies Act, and now they want to claim it was all some tragic mistake. His own words were, ‘I can’t go back, I’ll face rival gangs.’ That’s a self-admission, folks! But somehow, the media spins this as a poor, innocent father getting swept up unfairly. Give me a break! The Trump administration says it plain and simple: This guy should be locked up. Period. And while we’re talking about criminals—how about the criminals in Congress? Elon Musk is on the warpath, and this time, he’s coming for the mysteriously wealthy politicians. His Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is investigating how lawmakers making $200,000 a year magically become multimillionaires. Two of the big names? Nancy Pelosi and Rick Scott. Pelosi’s been raking in cash off suspiciously well-timed investments in tech stocks. And Scott? He’s sitting on a $552 million fortune. Musk says it’s time to put an end to it—and honestly, I say, about damn time. And speaking of billionaires shaking up politics, Musk is getting involved in Wisconsin, backing conservative judge Brad Schimel in a key Supreme Court race. But he’s not just throwing endorsements around—no, no, he’s handing out million-dollar checks to voters. Now, I don’t know about you, but if there’s one thing that gets people’s attention, it’s cold hard cash. Now, folks, this is just the beginning of today’s show. We’re going to break all of this down, we’ll take your calls, and we’re going to get into the real story behind these headlines. And trust me, the media doesn’t want you asking these questions. So stay with me. We’ll be right back after the break. You’re listening to The Joe Mangiacotti Show on WCRN.

The Joe Mangiacotti Show – Opening Monologue March 31, 2025 | WCRN 830 AM Good morning, New England! This is The Joe Mangiacotti Show coming to you live from the great Commonwealth of Massachusetts, broadcasting across New England on the powerhouse signal of WCRN 830 AM! It is March 31, 2025—we are two months into President Donald J. Trump’s second term, and let me tell you, folks, you can feel the shift in the air. The adults are back in charge. The economy is on the rebound, the border is finally being secured, and the radical Left? Well, they’re in full-blown meltdown mode—because they know their days of unchecked power are over. Now, let’s get into it. A lot to cover today, and I want to start with something that should outrage every single American—Republican, Democrat, independent—I don’t care where you stand on the political spectrum. An attack on the Republican National Committee should be an attack on all of us. A Biological Attack on the RNC – And the Left’s Deafening Silence Last week, two vials of blood were sent to the RNC headquarters in Washington, D.C. The building was locked down, hazmat teams had to be called in, and we had bomb squads sweeping the area. Let me repeat that—blood was mailed to a political party’s headquarters in our nation’s capital. That is biological terrorism. Now, imagine—just for a second—if this had happened to the DNC. The media would be in DEFCON 1 mode. CNN and MSNBC would have breaking news coverage for 24 hours straight, Democrats would be holding emergency hearings, and we’d be hearing about “right-wing domestic terrorism” nonstop. This is part of a growing pattern of leftist violence and intimidation. We’ve got pro-Hamas protesters shutting down our cities, Trump supporters being attacked, and now, this? Folks, this is what happens when you spend years demonizing conservatives as “extremists” and “threats to democracy.” The Left has created this culture of hate. Kristi Noem Stands Up for Law Enforcement And speaking of violence and intimidation, let’s talk about DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and the outrageous attack on ICE agents. A left-wing lunatic took to TikTok and told people to “shoot at ICE agents on sight.” That’s right—a direct call for violence against federal law enforcement. Kristi Noem didn’t hesitate. She fired back, saying if you threaten or attack a law enforcement officer, you WILL be found and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. And that’s exactly the kind of leadership we need. Because let’s be clear—this isn’t just some random internet nutjob. This is the kind of rhetoric that the radical Left has been pushing for years. They want open borders, they want to abolish ICE, and when they don’t get their way, they encourage violence against the men and women who risk their lives to enforce our laws. Border Chaos and the Left’s Open-Border Obsession And folks, this ties right into the border crisis—which, let’s be honest, was engineered by the Left. They spent four years under Biden opening the floodgates—and now, with Trump back in office, we’re finally seeing a return to law and order. Now, I don’t know if you saw this, but the Supreme Court just upheld Texas’ right to arrest illegal immigrants. That’s a HUGE win for state sovereignty, and a direct slap in the face to the Biden-era policy of letting criminal illegals roam free. Texas Governor Greg Abbott isn’t messing around—he’s building the wall, he’s deploying the National Guard, and now, he’s been given the green light to enforce our laws where the federal government failed. And let’s not forget the record number of illegal immigrants committing violent crimes—because, of course, when you let millions of people in without vetting, you’re going to have criminals, gang members, and drug cartels walking right in. The Media’s Double Standard on Political Violence You know, it’s funny—every time a conservative even raises their voice, the media starts screaming about “right-wing extremism.” But...

The Joe Mangiacotti Show – Opening Segment – March 27, 2025 WCRN 830 AM – “Common Sense Conversation for the Common Sense Citizen” Well, good afternoon, New England! Welcome to The Joe Mangiacotti Show—right here on WCRN 830 AM, the powerhouse that covers all of New England from the center of the dial, the center of information, and the center of common sense! Folks, we have a jam-packed show today—there’s a lot happening in this country, and I’m gonna say it right now: If you believe in the Constitution, if you believe in law and order, and if you still believe in good ol’ common sense—this next hour is for you. Buckle up. Let’s start with this ICE arrest at Tufts University. Now, I don’t know about you, but I was always under the impression that when you come to this country on a visa, that visa comes with some conditions. One of them is you don’t engage in activities supporting terrorist organizations like Hamas. That’s not controversial, that’s just basic national security! But now, we’ve got a Tufts grad student, Rumeysa Ozturk, a Turkish national, who was picked up by ICE, and the left is screaming bloody murder because she was detained. Oh, how dare we enforce immigration laws! Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Campbell—who, let’s be honest, never misses an opportunity to pander to the radical left—called it “disturbing.” What’s disturbing is having foreign nationals on U.S. soil supporting Hamas and expecting zero consequences. Listen, a visa isn’t a right—it’s a privilege. If you break the rules, you don’t get to stay. Period. It’s not complicated, folks! If she were an American citizen, we’d be having a different conversation, but she’s not. ICE did their job. And let’s be clear—if the Trump administration were still in charge, she’d already be on a plane back to Turkey, no questions asked. Instead, the Biden administration—whose entire immigration policy can be summed up as “Let’s do the opposite of what makes sense”—has this judge stepping in and slowing down the process. Speaking of Trump, let’s talk about those new tariffs. This is one of those times where you really see the difference between an America First policy and the globalist nonsense we’ve been fed for decades. Trump just announced a 25% tariff on all foreign-made cars, and naturally, the usual suspects—the EU, the left-wing economists, the corporate media—they’re all losing their minds. Now, let me ask you something: Why is it that every time a president does something to help American workers, the left panics? Tariffs are bad? Really? Because I seem to recall that before NAFTA and all these disastrous trade deals, America was making cars, making steel, making just about everything. Now, we’ve got foreign companies making our vehicles and parts, and we’re just supposed to accept it? Trump’s got the right idea here: If you want to sell your cars in America, build them in America. It’s that simple. No tariff if you build here. And the government expects to pull in $100 billion from this move! That’s $100 billion going into our economy instead of padding the profits of foreign companies. How is that a bad thing? Of course, the Biden administration and their media lapdogs will scream that this will raise prices, but they said the same thing when Trump put tariffs on steel and aluminum. Didn’t happen. What did happen? More American jobs. More American production. More money staying in this country. Now, let’s shift gears—literally—to something every car owner needs to hear. We’ve got an EV disaster brewing, folks. Ford just announced that they’re losing billions on electric vehicles, and now they’re slashing production on models like the F-150 Lightning because—guess what?—nobody wants them! You know what happens when the government forces an industry to change before the market is ready? You get exactly what we’re seeing now: billions of dollars in losses, stalled production, and higher prices for consumers. The left keeps pushing EVs...

The Joe Mangiacotti Show – Opening Monologue WCRN 830 AM – March 26, 2025 JOE MANGIACOTTI: Good morning, New England! You’re listening to The Joe Mangiacotti Show on WCRN 830 AM, where we bring common-sense conversation to the common-sense citizen. It’s Wednesday, March 26, 2025, and we’ve got a packed show today—so grab your coffee, sit back, and let’s dive right in. Now, folks, today’s theme seems to be “imploding narratives and the Left’s absolute lack of accountability.” I mean, it’s a disaster on every front—from political hypocrisy to media hoaxes to the absolute joke that is our immigration system under the previous administration. Let’s start with Jasmine Crockett, the up-and-coming face of the Democratic Party—whether they like it or not. Over the weekend, she took to the stage at a Human Rights Campaign event and let loose, calling Texas Governor Greg Abbott “Hot Wheels.” Now, I don’t know what’s worse—the insult itself or the fact that she actually thought people would buy her excuse. She claimed she wasn’t referencing Abbott’s wheelchair, but rather, his policy of moving migrants into liberal cities. Come on, lady. We’re not stupid. Social media receipts don’t lie—she’s been liking posts calling Abbott “Hot Wheels” since 2021, long before the busing program even started! But of course, when the backlash came, suddenly it was everyone else who misunderstood her. Classic Democrat move—insult, deny, deflect, and then play the victim. And speaking of things imploding in real-time, how about The Atlantic’s latest dumpster fire? They tried to break a massive scandal—claimed they had proof that Trump’s top officials were leaking “classified war plans” over Signal, the encrypted messaging app. Yeah, except… there were no classified war plans. None. It took less than 24 hours for that hoax to unravel. Trump’s team used approved channels to discuss operations against Iran-backed Houthi terrorists. But because The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg—yes, the same guy who peddled the fake “Trump called soldiers suckers and losers” story—got his hands on some basic, non-classified messages, he tried to spin it into a national security scandal. And then? Boom. It fell apart. Even anti-Trump media figures are now admitting there’s nothing here—just another case of the media trying to create a narrative where one doesn’t exist. Now, let’s shift gears and talk about something that actually affects your daily life—the border. Because folks, it is still a disaster. And Megyn Kelly—God bless her—said what a lot of us are thinking. She flat-out admitted on her podcast this week: “I don’t give a sh*t about due process for illegal migrants.” And you know what? I don’t blame her. Where was Laken Riley’s due process when she was murdered by an illegal alien? Where’s the due process for every American victim of crime committed by people who shouldn’t even be here? Trump has finally taken action—using the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport violent gang members like Tren de Aragua immediately. The result? Over 200 criminals deported in just one day. And what happened next? A liberal judge tried to stop it. Judge James Boasberg actually tried to halt deportations and even suggested that flights already in the air should be turned around. Are you kidding me? And then you’ve got Judge Patricia Millett comparing this to how Nazis were treated under the Aliens Act. Folks, this is how insane the Left has become. They are so desperate to fight Trump, they’d rather protect violent criminals than American citizens. And you know what ties all of these stories together? The double standard. The hypocrisy. The idea that Democrats and the media can say and do whatever they want, and never be held accountable. But when Republicans—even Trump’s strongest officials—act within the law, they’re attacked, smeared, and sabotaged. Well, folks, we’re not playing that game anymore. Coming up, we’re going to take your calls—tell me what you think about these stories. Do...

The Joe Mangiacotti Show – Opening Segment March 25, 2025 – WCRN 830 AM JOE MANGIACOTTI: “Good morning, good afternoon, good evening—wherever you are, however you’re listening—welcome to The Joe Mangiacotti Show! Broadcasting from the heart of New England on WCRN 830 AM, Radio Central—the center of the dial, the center of New England, and the center of information. I’m Joe Mangiacotti, your host, your guide through the madness, cutting through the noise with logic, reason, and a little bit of common sense. Because let’s be honest, that’s in short supply these days. We’ve got a packed show today, folks. A lot of big stories that the mainstream media—well, let’s just say they’re handling the truth about as well as a toddler handles a gallon of milk. And I don’t know about you, but I’m getting real tired of the usual suspects trotting out the same tired, baseless attacks. But hey, that’s why we’re here—to separate fact from fiction and shine a little light where the left would rather keep you in the dark. The Atlantic’s ‘Oops’ Moment – Or a Manufactured Scandal? So, let’s start with this latest hit piece from The Atlantic—and I use the term ‘piece’ loosely, because it’s about as solid as Swiss cheese. The editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg—you might remember him from such classics as The Russia Collusion Hoax and the "Trump hates the military" hoax—he’s back again. This time, he’s claiming that he was accidentally added to a Signal chat with Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, and other top officials—where he allegedly saw sensitive war plans about our operation against the Houthis in Yemen. Now, folks, I don’t know about you, but this whole thing smells fishier than the docks in Gloucester. First, the White House admits that a journalist somehow got added to a private chat—but then they say, ‘Nothing to see here, no threats to national security.’ Which one is it? Either this is a major security breach or it’s a total non-story. And the fact that Pete Hegseth and President Trump aren’t even entertaining this nonsense tells you all you need to know. Hegseth’s response? Classic. He called out Goldberg for what he is—a ‘so-called journalist’ who has built a career on pushing lies. And let’s not forget, The Atlantic is the same rag that tried to convince you that Trump called fallen soldiers ‘suckers and losers’—which was a complete and utter fabrication. So let’s ask the real question here: why is the media obsessed with a texting mistake, but not with the fact that Trump just wiped out the Houthi threat and restored deterrence in the region? Why do they always focus on ‘process crimes’ instead of actual results? It’s because they can’t argue with success. They can’t argue with the fact that our enemies fear us again. So instead, they have to create these ridiculous distractions. And I gotta tell you—I’m not buying it. Biden’s Budget Meltdown – The Economy Is in Freefall But hey, it’s not just the media playing games. Over in Washington, we’ve got Biden’s latest budget proposal, and let me tell you, folks, this thing is a train wreck. We’re talking trillions in new spending, higher taxes, and more debt than any of us can even comprehend. But don’t worry—Biden says it’s all ‘for the people.’ Right. The same way he said inflation was ‘transitory.’ The same way he said gas prices were ‘just a blip.’ Here’s the reality: they’re spending money we don’t have, on programs we don’t need, to fix problems they created. The deficit is exploding, the middle class is getting crushed, and the only people benefiting are the bureaucrats and the special interests. Meanwhile, Trump’s economic policies had us energy independent, inflation under control, and wages rising. But hey, we can’t have that, right? We need to go back to ‘Bidenomics,’ where everything costs more and you get less. Border Chaos – The Crisis the Media Pretends Isn’t Happening And speaking of getting less—how about border security? Last time I...

Airing: Thursday, March 20, 2025 Today's show dives into three major stories that highlight the ongoing battles over government power, law enforcement, and personal freedoms. From Boston politics to nationwide crime waves and a constitutional showdown in Washington, we’re breaking down how these events impact you and what they reveal about the direction of our country. Story #1: Boston Mayor Wu’s Fiery State of the City Speech Recap: Boston Mayor Michelle Wu delivered a fiery State of the City address, doubling down on progressive policies while taking direct aim at both state and federal leaders opposing her agenda. She pushed for more aggressive climate policies, police reform, and expanded sanctuary city protections—calling out what she calls "right-wing fearmongering" over illegal immigration. Wu also vowed to fight Governor Healey’s calls for fiscal restraint, instead pledging to raise taxes on “big business” and continue funding controversial housing initiatives that have turned neighborhoods into taxpayer-funded migrant camps. The speech, loaded with partisan attacks, is already stirring debates over whether Boston is doubling down on policies that are driving businesses and longtime residents out of the city. Talking Points: How far is too far? Wu's speech makes it clear she is all-in on progressive policies, but at what cost to taxpayers and public safety? A sanctuary city showdown: With illegal immigration already a hot topic nationwide, is Boston’s leadership making the city less safe by refusing to cooperate with federal law enforcement? Economic consequences: If businesses continue fleeing Boston due to higher taxes and crime concerns, what happens to the city’s long-term financial health? Story #2: FBI Investigates Nationwide Tesla Vandalism and Arson Attacks Recap: The FBI has launched a nationwide investigation into a growing trend of Tesla vandalism and arson attacks. From Los Angeles to New York, Teslas have been torched in parking lots, spray-painted with anti-tech slogans, and targeted in what some are calling an “eco-extremist” movement. While no group has officially claimed responsibility, online chatter suggests radical environmental activists view Tesla—and Elon Musk himself—as symbols of corporate overreach and “greenwashing” rather than true environmental progress. Some on the left are even rationalizing the attacks, claiming Musk's ventures are just another version of capitalism exploiting the planet. Meanwhile, conservative voices are pointing out the hypocrisy: Why attack electric cars when the left claims to be pushing for an EV future? And why is the media so quiet on what should be a major domestic terrorism investigation? Talking Points: Selective outrage: If a conservative group was linked to similar attacks, would the media treat this differently? Environmental extremism: Is this a case of radicals eating their own? Why are Tesla and Musk suddenly the enemy? Law enforcement response: What is the FBI’s next move, and will they actually hold the perpetrators accountable? Story #3: Trump’s Deportation Flights and the Constitutional Showdown Recap: A major constitutional fight is brewing between President Trump and the courts over his authority to deport alleged gang members under the Alien Enemies Act. Federal Judge James Boasberg issued an emergency order to halt two deportation flights carrying hundreds of alleged Venezuelan gang members, demanding that the administration justify its actions. Trump has fired back, calling Boasberg an “activist judge” and even suggesting impeachment. His administration argues that immigration enforcement is a matter of national security and that the courts are overstepping their authority. Chief Justice John Roberts has issued a rare rebuke, criticizing Trump’s attacks on the judiciary. Meanwhile, the DOJ has been reluctant to comply with Boasberg’s requests for information, citing national security concerns. This fight is quickly escalating into...

Conservatively Speaking – Opening Monologue Good morning, New England! Welcome to Conservatively Speaking on WCRN, AM 830, Radio Central! I’m Joe Mangiacotti, sitting in for my good friend Mike Wade this morning. It’s always great to be here with you—common sense conservatives, constitutionalists, and lovers of liberty. We have a packed show today, and trust me, you are NOT going to want to miss a second of it. As always, we’re cutting through the noise and getting to the truth. No spin, no nonsense, just common sense conversation for the common sense citizen—and boy, do we have a lot to talk about. First Up: Judicial Tyranny – When Judges Make Law Instead of Interpreting It We’ll kick things off with yet another rogue judge thinking he runs the country. This week, U.S. District Judge James Boasberg tried to override a core executive power—immigration enforcement. He ruled to halt Trump’s deportation flights, including sending violent Tren de Aragua gang members out of the country. Now tell me—when did we decide that unelected judges get to override national security decisions? Folks, this is judicial rule, not judicial review. The Constitution gives the executive branch authority over immigration, and one leftist judge doesn’t get to change that because he doesn’t like Trump’s policies. We’ll discuss why judicial overreach is one of the biggest threats to our Republic and why Trump’s pushback is not lawlessness, but leadership. Next: FEMA Fraud—270,000 Claims for 13,000 Homes? I want you to let this sink in: In Los Angeles, 270,000 people filed for FEMA disaster relief after the devastating wildfires—but here’s the problem: only 13,000 homes were destroyed. That’s twenty times more applications than actual houses lost! Identity theft and fraud are running rampant, and yet, instead of fixing the system, what does FEMA do? They close applications early, making it harder for real victims to get help. This is what happens when government gets too big, too bloated, and too incompetent to do the basics: help real victims and stop fraudsters. We’ll talk about how this kind of government mismanagement has been a recurring theme, from Hurricane Katrina to COVID relief fraud—and why smaller government is always the better solution. Transgender Athletes and Trump’s Crackdown on Woke Universities Speaking of government money going where it shouldn’t—let’s talk about the University of Pennsylvania losing $175 million in funding over their radical woke policies that let men compete in women’s sports. Trump signed an executive order banning this nonsense, and Penn defied it—so he cut their funding. And you know what? Some of Lia Thomas’ own former teammates came out and applauded the decision. These young women—Grace Estabrook, Margot Kaczorowski, and Ellen Holmquist—said Penn stole their opportunities, endangered them, and ignored their rights. This is exactly what happens when universities put ideology over fairness, and I say: Good for Trump for standing up for biological women. Biden’s Inflation Disaster: Why Everything Costs More Let’s talk about something that hits all of us where it hurts: your wallet. If you’ve gone to the grocery store, the gas pump, or tried to buy a house lately, you know exactly what I’m talking about. Inflation is out of control, and the Biden administration’s answer? Spend more money, print more dollars, and pretend everything is fine. Meanwhile, the middle class is being squeezed like never before. We’ll break down how Biden’s reckless spending and anti-energy policies have driven up the cost of everything, and why only conservative, free-market policies can reverse this mess. The Border Crisis: The Left’s Plan to Flood the Country with Illegal Voters While we’re talking about Biden’s disasters, let’s not forget the border crisis. Folks, 7 million illegal crossings under Biden, and now Democrats are scrambling to give them work permits and even voting rights. Why? Because they know they...

Airing: Thursday, March 20, 2025 Today's show dives into three major stories that highlight the ongoing battles over government power, law enforcement, and personal freedoms. From Boston politics to nationwide crime waves and a constitutional showdown in Washington, we’re breaking down how these events impact you and what they reveal about the direction of our country. Story #1: Boston Mayor Wu’s Fiery State of the City Speech Recap: Boston Mayor Michelle Wu delivered a fiery State of the City address, doubling down on progressive policies while taking direct aim at both state and federal leaders opposing her agenda. She pushed for more aggressive climate policies, police reform, and expanded sanctuary city protections—calling out what she calls "right-wing fearmongering" over illegal immigration. Wu also vowed to fight Governor Healey’s calls for fiscal restraint, instead pledging to raise taxes on “big business” and continue funding controversial housing initiatives that have turned neighborhoods into taxpayer-funded migrant camps. The speech, loaded with partisan attacks, is already stirring debates over whether Boston is doubling down on policies that are driving businesses and longtime residents out of the city. Talking Points: How far is too far? Wu's speech makes it clear she is all-in on progressive policies, but at what cost to taxpayers and public safety? A sanctuary city showdown: With illegal immigration already a hot topic nationwide, is Boston’s leadership making the city less safe by refusing to cooperate with federal law enforcement? Economic consequences: If businesses continue fleeing Boston due to higher taxes and crime concerns, what happens to the city’s long-term financial health? Story #2: FBI Investigates Nationwide Tesla Vandalism and Arson Attacks Recap: The FBI has launched a nationwide investigation into a growing trend of Tesla vandalism and arson attacks. From Los Angeles to New York, Teslas have been torched in parking lots, spray-painted with anti-tech slogans, and targeted in what some are calling an “eco-extremist” movement. While no group has officially claimed responsibility, online chatter suggests radical environmental activists view Tesla—and Elon Musk himself—as symbols of corporate overreach and “greenwashing” rather than true environmental progress. Some on the left are even rationalizing the attacks, claiming Musk's ventures are just another version of capitalism exploiting the planet. Meanwhile, conservative voices are pointing out the hypocrisy: Why attack electric cars when the left claims to be pushing for an EV future? And why is the media so quiet on what should be a major domestic terrorism investigation? Talking Points: Selective outrage: If a conservative group was linked to similar attacks, would the media treat this differently? Environmental extremism: Is this a case of radicals eating their own? Why are Tesla and Musk suddenly the enemy? Law enforcement response: What is the FBI’s next move, and will they actually hold the perpetrators accountable? Story #3: Trump’s Deportation Flights and the Constitutional Showdown Recap: A major constitutional fight is brewing between President Trump and the courts over his authority to deport alleged gang members under the Alien Enemies Act. Federal Judge James Boasberg issued an emergency order to halt two deportation flights carrying hundreds of alleged Venezuelan gang members, demanding that the administration justify its actions. Trump has fired back, calling Boasberg an “activist judge” and even suggesting impeachment. His administration argues that immigration enforcement is a matter of national security and that the courts are overstepping their authority. Chief Justice John Roberts has issued a rare rebuke, criticizing Trump’s attacks on the judiciary. Meanwhile, the DOJ has been reluctant to comply with Boasberg’s requests for information, citing national security concerns. This fight is quickly escalating into...
