The Joe Mangiacott Show - Monday Dec 16th 2024

Opening Monologue for December 16th on WCRN with Joe Mangiacotti
Good morning, New England! It’s Joe Mangiacotti here, bringing you the straight talk and common sense you’ve come to expect. The countdown is on—just 36 days until Donald Trump’s second inauguration, and the excitement is building across the nation.
We’ve got fascinating developments to discuss today. Major CEOs like Jeff Bezos are meeting next week and Mark Zuckerberg has had dinner and others are reportedly making their way to Mar-a-Lago for personal meetings with President-elect Trump. These visits raise important questions: what’s being discussed? Is this about rebuilding relationships, policy influence, or simply getting a seat at the table in the next administration?
Trump’s leadership and vision are clearly drawing both allies and former skeptics to the table. After years of policies that prioritized America first, it’s no wonder the business world is keen to engage.
Meanwhile, there’s mystery in the skies—drones hovering over cities and rural areas alike. The Department of Defense and FBI don’t seem to have clear answers, and Americans are left wondering: who’s watching us, and why?
concerning moment from the New York Young Republican Club gala. Trump campaign adviser Alex Bruesewitz fainted mid-speech while introducing Dan Scavino, causing quite a stir. Thankfully, he’s reportedly recovering, but it raises questions about the pressures of political life.
On the southern border, Trump is making waves, calling out the Biden administration for its shortsightedness in selling off border wall materials at bargain prices. Now, those buyers want to resell the supplies to the U.S. at exorbitant rates. Talk about mismanagement—this is an outrage every taxpayer should care about.
We’ll also take a closer look at Trump’s speech today, as he outlines plans to reignite American greatness. It’s a pivotal moment, and I want to hear your thoughts.
The phone lines are open, the stories are compelling, and your voice matters. Let’s get into it!
