The Joe Mangiacotti Show– August 4, 2025, 1:00 PM
Good afternoon, Boston!
This is Joe Mangiacotti, and you’re locked into The Joe Mangiacotti Show on WCRN 830 AM, coming at you live at 1:00 PM today, August 4, 2025.
We’ve got a jam-packed hour of stories that’ll get you talking, thinking, and maybe even fired up! First up, the European Union just hit pause on retaliatory tariffs against the U.S. for six months—another trade truce with Trump’s America, but is it a win or just kicking the can down the road?
Then, we’re diving into the media shake-up as The New York Post launches The California Post in L.A., promising bold journalism in a struggling market—can their tabloid style win over the West Coast?
Over in Texas, Democrats have fled the state to block a redistricting plan that could flip five congressional seats to Republicans, and Governor Abbott’s threatening arrests and bribery charges—sound familiar? We’ll connect it to the Supreme Court’s 2017 Cooper v. Harris ruling, which slammed racial gerrymandering and set the bar for fair districts. Is Texas playing dirty, or are Democrats just stalling?
Speaking of controversy, the Sydney Sweeney American Eagle campaign has the left crying “eugenics” over a jeans pun—seriously?
We’ll unpack why this ad’s sparking a culture war and what it says about today’s outrage machine.
And finally, a heartbreaking update from Cincinnati: Holly, a single mom, is battling severe brain trauma after a brutal brawl, with over $260,000 raised for her recovery, four arrests made, and the mayor vowing justice.
Is this a racial issue, or are we missing the bigger picture? Grab your coffee, Boston, and join me at 1:00 PM to dig into these stories—call in at WCRN 830 AM or tweet @WCRN and @JoeMangisShow … Let’s get to the truth together!
