Today at 1PM on The Joe Mangiacotti Show on WCRN 830 AM — “From the Center of the Dial, the Center of New England, and the Center of Information.”
We’re breaking down the latest flashpoints shaping America and the world. Hamas says it won’t disarm or give up control of Gaza, even after agreeing to President Trump’s peace deal that brought home the remaining hostages and ended active fighting. What does that say about trust, deterrence, and the limits of diplomacy with terrorist regimes?
Then — President Trump meets face-to-face with China’s Xi Jinping as new tariffs hit Beijing’s rare-earth exports. Is this a turning point in U.S.-China trade, or just another escalation in the fight for global supply chains and economic sovereignty?
We’ll also cover Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro’s latest controversy — as an arson defendant tied to his campaign event faces sentencing — raising fresh questions about accountability and the rule of law in state politics.
And closer to home — Boston police officers were attacked while responding to a violent “street takeover.” A mob armed with fireworks and projectiles torched a cruiser and forced officers to retreat. We’ll ask why law enforcement keeps becoming the target, what this says about social decay, and whether city leadership is up to the challenge.
It’s all happening today at 1PM on The Joe Mangiacotti Show — heard across New England on WCRN 830 AM, streaming live on the TuneIn app, or by telling Alexa to “Play WCRN.”
