The Joe Mangiacotti Show – Opening Monologue

WCRN 830 AM – Radio Central

Good afternoon, folks! Welcome to The Joe Mangiacotti Show, broadcasting live from Radio Central – WCRN 830 AM, coming to you from the center of New England, the center of the dial, and the center of information. As always, I’m bringing you common sense conversation for the common sense citizen—and we’ve got a jam-packed show for you today.

Now, let’s get right into it because there’s a lot happening—the kind of political and cultural shifts that will define the future of this country. And if you’re paying attention, you know this isn’t just about today—it’s about the road ahead for America.

So before we dive into today’s discussions, let’s do a quick recap of some of the biggest stories we’ve been covering this week:

1. Merkel’s Legacy Crumbling – The Migrant Crisis She Created

Remember when Angela Merkel opened the floodgates and welcomed millions of migrants into Germany with no vetting, no accountability, and no plan? Well, now her own party is turning against her. Her memoir—which, by the way, reads more like an unrepentant confession—admits she let them in whether they had a legal right to stay or not. Now Germany is dealing with skyrocketing crime, political division, and economic strain—all because of failed leadership and a globalist fantasy of open borders.

And Merkel’s response? She blames the German people! Says they just didn’t have the “will to change.” Well, sounds a lot like what we’ve heard from the Left here in America, doesn’t it? Destroy your country and blame the citizens when it falls apart.

2. Army Reviewing Punishments for Soldiers Who Refused the COVID Jab

For those of you who stood strong against Biden’s unconstitutional COVID vaccine mandate, here’s some good news: Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George is reviewing all reprimands and punishments issued to soldiers who refused the jab. Over 8,000 troops were kicked out, tens of thousands left on their own, and countless careers were destroyed—all for refusing an experimental vaccine.

President Trump has already issued an executive order restoring back pay and benefits to those who were forced out. But let’s be honest, the damage has already been done. We lost good men and women in our armed forces, during a historic recruitment crisis, all because of Biden’s authoritarian overreach. And now the Pentagon is scrambling to clean up the mess.

3. Trump Declares an Energy Emergency—Biden’s Climate Agenda Is Over

Now, this is big. Within hours of being sworn in, President Trump took a meat axe to Biden’s radical climate policies, declaring an energy emergency and putting America back on the road to energy dominance.

He’s greenlighting new drilling, reopening public lands, and cutting regulations.
Offshore drilling? Back on. Coal? Back in the game.
And, yes—Trump just pulled the U.S. OUT of the Paris Agreement again.

Folks, this is a return to reality. We’ve spent the last four years watching Biden strangle American energy while begging foreign dictators for oil. That era is over. But don’t think for a second that the Left is going to take this lying down—expect lawsuits, protests, and a media meltdown.

4. Bidenflation Still Crushing Americans – Economy in Turmoil

Meanwhile, as Trump tries to clean up the mess, Biden’s economic disaster continues. Inflation is still eating away at savings, mortgage rates are sky-high, and real wages have barely budged.

And here’s the real kicker: Even Biden’s own economists admitted his spending binge exacerbated the crisis. So what’s the solution? Trump is slashing regulations and restoring energy independence—but the damage Biden did won’t be undone overnight.

5. Media Backlash Against Trump’s Swift Actions

You’d think Trump committed a war crime the way the media is reacting to his first few days back in office. Every single executive order is being spun as a reckless move—but let’s remember, Biden signed nearly 50 executive orders in his first few weeks! Did the media have a problem with that? Of course not.

What we’re seeing is the old playbook—Trump acts, the media freaks out, and they start screaming about democracy being in danger. But guess what? The American people voted for this. They voted for energy independence, border security, and economic sanity.

6. The Left Melts Down Over Free Speech and Censorship Rollbacks

Another Trump move? He’s tearing down the Left’s censorship regime. Big Tech, the government, and media elites worked hand in hand to silence conservatives, suppress dissent, and even censor the sitting President of the United States.

Trump is ordering agencies to stop colluding with Big Tech, protecting whistleblowers, and restoring free speech protections. Naturally, the Left is screaming about “misinformation”—because, folks, to them, free speech is only acceptable if they control it.

7. Trump’s Supreme Court Pick—Battle Lines Drawn

With a vacancy on the Supreme Court, Trump is gearing up for a nomination fight. The name Lee Zeldin is being floated, along with a few others, and the Democrats are already preparing their smear campaign. Remember Kavanaugh? They’ll lie, fabricate, and destroy anyone who threatens their control over the courts.

But here’s the bottom line: The next justice could determine the fate of gun rights, election integrity, and free speech for a generation. This is a battle worth fighting.

Closing Thoughts

Folks, this is where we are. America is at a turning point. We’ve got a President who is taking action, a media machine melting down, and a radical Left that refuses to accept defeat.

We’ll break down all of this and take your calls—but first, I want to hear from you:
