The Joe Mangiacotti Show – Opening Monologue
March 4, 2025

Good evening, folks! Welcome to The Joe Mangiacotti Show, where we cut through the nonsense, break down the headlines, and get to the truth—common sense conversation for the common sense citizen. It's March 4, 2025, and boy, do we have a lot to talk about tonight. Buckle up because we are diving right in.

First up, President Trump is addressing a joint session of Congress tonight, and as expected, the usual suspects on the Left are throwing their temper tantrums. Several Democrats have announced they’re boycotting the speech—because, of course, they are. Rather than do their jobs, they’re hosting a so-called prebuttal—a livestream whining session where they’ll rant about Trump’s policies before he even speaks. That’s like walking out of a movie before it starts and writing a scathing review. It’s political theater at its worst, and I’ll tell you why this stunt exposes the Left’s biggest weakness.

And speaking of exposing weaknesses, President Trump made waves this morning with a social media post calling out schools and universities that allow so-called “illegal protests.” Now, let’s be real—he’s talking about the out-of-control mobs shutting down campuses, not students peacefully voicing their opinions. Trump says federal funding will be on the chopping block if these institutions don’t start upholding the law. And let’s not forget his warning that agitators will be arrested, deported if they’re here illegally, and students expelled for breaking the law. Common sense, right? But the media is losing its mind over it. We’ll break down what’s really happening on college campuses and why this move is long overdue.

And if you thought that was bad, wait until you hear what Senate Democrats pulled last night. They just killed the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act, a bill that would have protected female athletes from having to compete against biological males. Every single Democrat voted against it. Every. Single. One. Even tennis legend Martina Navratilova—who’s a staunch Democrat herself—is calling them out. She said she’s “mad as hell” that her own party completely abandoned women on this issue. And she’s right. We’ll break down how Democrats, who claim to be champions of women’s rights, just threw female athletes under the bus—and why they’re so afraid to stand up for basic biological reality.

And finally, what’s a night of hypocrisy without the Democratic Party’s latest attempt to weaponize the government against their enemies? House Democrats are planning to bring so-called “victims” of Trump’s policies to tonight’s speech—folks who supposedly lost their jobs due to Trump’s efforts to cut bureaucratic bloat. These are the same Democrats who have never met a regulation they didn’t love, who cheered when businesses were shut down over vaccine mandates, and who have spent years defending job-killing policies. But now, suddenly, they care about workers? Please. We’ll expose their game and talk about why Trump’s push for government efficiency is exactly what this country needs.

So there it is—four major stories tonight that cut right to the heart of what’s happening in America. A President standing up for law and order, a Leftist meltdown over basic accountability, the Democrats' betrayal of women, and their shameless political grandstanding.

Folks, we’re going to unpack all of this and more tonight, so don’t go anywhere. Call in, weigh in—I want to hear from you. Let’s have a real conversation, because here on The Joe Mangiacotti Show, we don’t do scripted talking points. We do truth, logic, and common sense.

Now, let’s get to it!
