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!
