This Sunday on Joe Mangiacotti Radio Show, Joe is live from 9 AM to Noon on WCRN 830 AM Radio Central, 50,000 watts from the center of New England, with common-sense conversation for the common-sense citizen.
We open the show with a packed lineup of local, national, cultural, and political stories that all ask the same question: who is really being protected — the citizen, the taxpayer, the family, the property owner, or the political class?
At 9:30 AM, Joe is joined by Making Money Last, America’s Retirement Resource Gerry Dougherty of Boston Independence Group, host of Making Money Last, for his regular Sunday feature on retirement, financial planning, market concerns, and how listeners can better protect what they have worked a lifetime to build.
Joe will also dig into the South Natick Dam controversy, where the Town of Natick is moving forward with removal of the historic Charles River Dam while opponents argue the town should first ask the Massachusetts Office of Dam Safety to formally reconsider whether the dam still qualifies as a High Hazard structure using modern hydraulic data. This is a local issue with a much bigger theme: process, liability, taxpayers, history, and whether government is moving too fast before all the facts are formally tested.
We’ll look at the case of a detransitioner awarded $2 million after undergoing a double mastectomy at age 16 as part of a gender transition. The case raises major questions about informed consent, medical responsibility, psychological evaluation, and whether minors can truly consent to irreversible procedures.
Joe will also examine the reported DOJ criminal investigation into E. Jean Carroll, focused on whether she committed perjury in connection with outside funding for her civil lawsuits against President Trump. The issue is not the underlying allegation itself, but whether testimony under oath about legal funding was truthful. No charges have been filed, but the investigation adds another chapter to the lawfare/accountability debate.
We’ll take on the latest example of corporate America stepping into the cultural buzz saw with Disney, Jimmy Kimmel, backlash, boycotts, and market reaction. Disney’s larger problem is not one late-night host or one programming decision — it is years of turning a family brand into a political brand and then being shocked when both sides get angry.
Joe will also break down Zohran Mamdani’s housing plan and the danger of using law, regulation, rent freezes, code enforcement, taxes, and nonprofit acquisition as a slow-motion attack on private property. The question: at what point does “housing policy” become confiscation by exhaustion?
Then from 11 AM to Noon, Joe welcomes John Deaton, Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Massachusetts, challenging Democrat Ed Markey. Joe and John will discuss affordability, inflation, Washington waste, energy costs, housing, school choice, vocational education, healthcare, veterans, corruption in Congress, and John’s proposed Clean Hands Act to take on career politicians, congressional stock trading, lobbying, and the insider wealth machine in Washington.
