Opening Segment for The Joe Mangiacotti Show – WCRN 830 AM – February 26, 2025
Good afternoon, folks! Itâs Wednesday, February 26, 2025, and youâre tuned into The Joe Mangiacotti Show, right here on WCRN 830 AMâRadio 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 headlinesâagain. Elon Musk, yes, that Elon Musk, will be in attendance, even though heâs not a formal Cabinet member. As head of the newly minted Department of Government Efficiency, heâs 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 Americaâs access to rare earth minerals in exchange for security guarantees. Now, letâs be honestâthis is the kind of deal America shouldâve been making years ago. Instead of dumping billions into an endless war, weâre striking agreements that benefit our country and help stabilize the region. Sounds like a win-win, doesnât 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, weâve seen these cases pop up more and more in recent years, and it raises a fundamental questionâshould any American be judged on race instead of merit? Weâll dive into the legal and cultural implications of this case later in the show.
Over in Congress, the Senate continues its confirmation hearings for Trumpâs new nominees to the Justice Department. Now, Democrats are scrambling to block them, but letâs be realâthe American people spoke loud and clear in November. They wanted change, they wanted leadership, and they wanted America First policies back in action. Weâll be watching closely as these hearings unfold.
Now, letâs talk about something thatâs hitting every Americanâegg 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. Theyâre 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 âprosecutorial misconduct.â You know, itâs funny how these politicians love to wield government power against their enemies, but when the tables turn, suddenly itâs unfair. Weâll break down what this means for Adams, and if he has any shot at getting off the hook.
And finally, letâs talk about Trumpâs latest move that has the media losing their mindsâhis AI-generated video showcasing âTrump Gaza.â Now, whether you love it or hate it, youâve got to admitâitâs peak Trump. The video shows Gaza transformed into a modern metropolis, complete with skyscrapers, economic development, andâof courseâa golden statue of Trump himself. The Left is outraged, but letâs be honestâif anyone can turn a disaster into an opportunity, itâs Trump. Weâll talk about the implications of this and whether America should play a role in Gazaâs reconstruction.
So, strap in, folks! Weâve got a packed show aheadâphone lines will be open, and I want to hear from you. Whatâs your take on all of this? Give me a call at [insert call-in number] and letâs break it down together.
Youâre listening to The Joe Mangiacotti Show on WCRN 830 AM. Weâll be right back after the break!
