PODCAST CLIP:NOT EVEN KIM JONG UN PUTS HIS FACE ON THE MONEY We are living in strange political times. Trump supporters now want a $250 bill with Trump’s face on it — and whether you love Trump or hate him, that should probably make all of us pause for a second. Not even Kim Jong Un puts his own face on North Korean currency. Meanwhile, wars drag on, prices stay high, and people are asking a simpl...

PODCAST CLIP:  DATA CENTERS IN NIAGARA FALLS? NO WAY. The AI boom is here — and with it comes a massive demand for electricity, land, and infrastructure.

After years of fighting pollution and industrial...

PODCAST CLIP: ARE YOU GUYS OK? So let me get this straight: Some of the same people willing to greenlight military action against Iran without a full congressional debate suddenly want microscopic scrutiny over a small-town school budget? Wait… what? You’re comfortable with spending billions overseas, risking American lives, and expanding executive power — but now you’re acting like every dollar f...

PODCAST CLIP: WHAT COULD TRUMP DO TO LOSE YOUR VOTE? Serious question. What would actually do it? Would it be using government power to reward loyalists? Using public office to enrich political allies? Protecting people accused of terrible things? Punishing anyone who speaks out? Because here’s what worries me: this is becoming bigger than one politician. Fear now seems to run politics. People sta...

PODCAST & LIVE STREAM: AMERICA IS LOSING ITS MORAL COMPASS. SLUSH FUNDS TO SCHOOL BUDGETS. Today we talk about something bigger than politics. We talk about moral decay.

Yet almost nobody in power...

Call it Medicare for All, single payer, universal healthcare — call it whatever you want. Why does every advan...

PODCAST CLIP: WHO DID TRUMP TAKE WITH HIM TO CHINA? PEOPLE IN THE EPSTEIN FILES? WHAT IS GOING ON? !Did you know Trump brought Hollywood producer Brett Ratner on a China trip?

What are we doing? And this is the bigg...

PODCAST CLIP: THE AMERICAN DREAM IS DEAD, LET"S REVIVE IT! And they want you to believe the party with almost no power right now — the Democrats — is somehow responsible for everything. Even if you think both parties often suck, and honestly sometimes they do, we are currently dealing with complete Republican control in Niagara County and Republican control of the federal government. At some...

PODCAST AND LIVE STREAM: Today’s topic: Let’s revive the American Dream. I talk about my own background alongside my cohost Tony, and how upward mobility in America feels dead for a huge number of people.

Nate McMurray Show — Wednesday, May 13Local Republicans are coming after me again, which is honestly pretty funny, because they have no leg to stand on. They control Niagara County.

Anything except their own recor...

PODCAST CLIP: Why are we cleaning the Reflecting Pool and releasing blurry “alien” videos while people can’t afford gas, groceries, or healthcare? Drones. Balloons. Flares. Noise. Spectacle. Distraction. Meanwhile real life keeps getting harder for ordinary Americans — and somehow we’re all supposed to stare at the sky instead of the economy.#Politics #UFOs #AlienFiles #Trump #Media #Distraction #...

MAY 9 NATE CAST: WAR, MEDIA COLLAPSE, AND POLITICAL EXHAUSTION Today on the podcast, I talked about something I genuinely believe is happening right now: MAGA media is starting to fracture, weaken, and lose energy.
