NATE CAST: The Nate McMurray Show Podcast

Today’s Podcast — A Tribute to Josh Allen January 19, 2026 Today I take a moment to say something that truly deserves to be said. Josh Allen is the greatest Buffalo Bill — and my favorite NFL player of all time — and somehow, he’s an even better human being. I love the guy. I genuinely do. And I felt compelled to speak up after seeing people mock him for showing emotion. For crying. As if caring d...

January 16, 2026 — Trump’s “Insurrection” Claims Are Laughable as Peaceful Protests Continue Today’s episode tackles a tense moment in American life —  scary times, but peaceful protests . Despite the noise and fear being pushed from the top, people across the country are choosing dignity over chaos. Calls to cancel elections and claims of “insurrection” aren’t just dangerous — they’re laughable....

January 15, 2026 — Love for Hochul, Opposition to ICE, and Advice for Young Men Joined today by NateCast friend, Matt Deering! Today’s episode kicks off with a frank conversation about  ICE, civil liberties, and the Constitution  — why the First and Fourth Amendments still matter, and why ignoring them in the name of “law and order” is the opposite of justice. Americans have the right to protest a...

How are we suddenly okay with losing our constitutional rights? How are people fine with  no Fourth Amendment  — with  federal agents in masks pulling people over on a whim , without probable cause, without warrants, without accountability? How are we shrugging at the erosion of the  First Amendment , where protesting government power gets treated as suspicious or dangerous? And here’s the part th...

January 9, 2026 (Friday) — Patriots, “Terrorists,” and the Madness of Ego Politics If you believe that Ashley Babbitt — who jumped through a broken White House window after repeated warnings — is a patriot, but that Renee Good — a woman with stuffed animals in her car, on her way to work, an award-winning poet — is a “terrorist,” then I have no time for you. This episode is about how language is b...

January 7, 2026 — No Investigation, No Restraint: A Killing at Home and the Casual Drift Toward World War Today, reports surfaced that ICE officers shot and killed a 37-year-old mother on her way to work. Before any independent investigation, she was publicly labeled a “domestic terrorist” — a designation used to justify lethal force rather than explain it. No due process. No transparency. Just a...

In this episode, I ask the question  Donald Trump never answers —the one he doesn’t want you asking: What’s in this for you? We already know what  he  wants. We know what oil companies want. We know what defense contractors want. We know why the same donors show up with the same talking points and the same press releases. But what do  you  get? Is this really about “standing up to China”? No. Chin...

January 6 and the Erasure of Memory: Mamdani, Power, Politics, and My Future in PoliticsIn this episode, I talk about the upcoming January 6 anniversary—five years later—and I remind people just how terrible it was, and why the attempt to erase it from our history is one of the greatest offenses against our democracy. I also talk about the rise of Mamdani and what it means for politics in this cou...

December 30, 2025 — Last Day Reflections. Happy New Year to you. What a year. From Marjorie Taylor Greene’s flip, to the death of Charlie Kirk and the cynical exploitation that followed. From the familiar Trump grift, to DOGE fantasies crashing into reality. From trillionaires like Elon Musk talking about “efficiency” while cutting aid to starving kids. We covered it all in this episode. A wide-ra...

If you listen to this episode, you’ll get a pretty good understanding of my  core beliefs —what I’m fighting for, what I believe matters, and where I draw the line. I talk about wealth inequality, the need for universal healthcare, and the scam at the heart of our current system, alongside broader ideas about purpose, kindness, and the unrealized potential of local places like Niagara Falls. That...

Tonight we talk about healthcare—and I break it down as simply and honestly as I can. I explain why America needs  Medicare for All  or a  single-payer system , like the one Canada uses, and why the current system is not “broken” at all. It’s working exactly as it was designed to work in the United States: to confuse you, to exhaust you, and to extract as much money as possible when you’re at your...

NEW SET! When are we ever going to change as a society and stop gun violence? You don’t like my solutions? Fine—tell me yours. But don’t tell me the status quo is “good enough.” It isn’t. Not for the people burying their kids. Not for the communities living with constant fear. Then we talk about Kash Patel blowing it  again —this time at Brown University—announcing someone was “in custody,” only t...

December 12, 2025: Trump’s Affordability Meltdown and the Little Monsters of MAGA Today’s episode opens with Donald Trump  stammering through another bizarre rant  about affordability — telling Americans, essentially, “You’ll get nothing and like it.” Straight out of  Caddyshack , except this time it’s not a movie — it’s a former president talking to a country that’s struggling to pay for rent, gr...

🎙️ Podcast Summary — December 11, 2025: Trickle-Down Lies, China’s Rise, Trump’s Decline, and a Bills Prediction Today’s episode covers a  lot , and we start with a  heated debate  I had with Tony O — a real back-and-forth about  wealth inequality , the myth of  trickle-down economics , and whether America’s working class has been deliberately hollowed out by policies designed to benefit the wealt...

🎙️ Podcast Summary — December 10, 2025: The MAGA Civil War Erupts as Trump Blames Everyone but Himself Today’s episode dives straight into the MAGA civil war — the one they swore would never happen, the one they pretended wasn’t coming, but the one that is now fully erupting in the open. We start with the feud between Candace Owens and Erika Kirk, two influencers clawing at each other for the same...

December 8, 2025: Hegseth’s Legal Crisis, Trump’s Fake Trophies, Sydney Sweeney’s Apology, and China’s New Propaganda Push Today’s episode starts with the story we  cannot  let fade:  Pete Hegseth . Because at this point, the facts lead to only two possible truths: Either he’s a war criminal… or he’s a straight-up murderer. And I explain why that distinction matters —  not theoretically , not phil...

Today’s episode is a  potpourri of chaos , all tracing back to the same center of gravity: Donald Trump’s nonstop strategy of  distract, distract, distract. We start with Trump’s  continued attacks on immigrants , especially Somali Americans and Rep. Ilhan Omar. Even some  far-right podcasters  — yes,  his own people  — are now recognizing the pattern: When Trump is cornered, when he’s confused, w...

Your morning briefing from  Nate McMurray . We begin, again, with  Pete Hegseth , because the story keeps collapsing under its own weight. First, he  denied  the allegations. Then he said,  “I wasn’t even there.” Now he’s spinning in so many directions it looks like panic. Let’s be unmistakably clear: If these allegations are proven true, they are not violations of some foreign court — they are vi...

December 2, 2025: The Democrats Can’t Run to the Middle — Stand for Something Today’s episode is a reminder — and a warning — about where this country is headed. I start by saying something Democrats  never  want to hear but absolutely need to: You cannot keep running to the middle. You cannot keep trying to be “Republican-lite.” That strategy has failed again and again. You have to  stand for som...

November 29, 2025: MTG’s Millions, Bitcoin Mania, a Subway Shooter’s Past, and Hegseth in Hot Water We open today’s episode with the story that’s shaking Washington: Pete Hegseth may actually be in serious trouble  over the alleged war-crime orders involving a smuggling boat and survivors left helpless in the water. If the reporting holds, this isn’t “toughness” — it’s a direct violation of Americ...

November 29, 2025: Hegseth Goes Full War Criminal, Trump Unravels, and Kristi Noem Plays Cowgirl With Your Money We start with the breaking allegations that  Pete Hegseth ordered a strike on a suspected smuggling boat — and then allegedly ordered SEAL Team Six to kill the survivors floating helpless in the water. That’s not “tough on crime.” That’s  German-war-criminal level  brutality. And if the...

November 26, 2025: Thanksgiving, Snow Coming, and the Watchmen Warning Happy Thanksgiving, everybody. A snowstorm is rolling in across Western New York, so be safe out there, take your time on the roads, and check on the people you love. Today’s episode covers a lot — and all of it matters. I start with the wild story breaking this week:  Karoline Leavitt’s nephew’s mother arrested by ICE , despit...

November 25 Podcast: Swastikas, Court-Martials, and Why I’m With Kathy Hochul On today’s November 25 podcast, I break down the surreal moment we’re living in—where Mark Kelly, a Navy combat pilot and astronaut, is being threatened with a court-martial and even hanging by MAGA extremists, while Trump openly embraces swastikas and tears down monuments honoring the World War II veterans who actually...

November 24: The MAGA Crack-Up Continues Less than a year into this mess, the MAGA world is cracking apart in real time. Right-wing influencers are jumping off the bandwagon one by one: MTG — gone. Candace Owens — gone. Tucker — gone. Nick Fuentes — gone. The empire is collapsing from the inside. They’re eating their own. Meanwhile, are we seriously talking about  invading Nicaragua  now? So much...

November 21: Sleight of Hand — Trump Screams “Hang Them!” While the Chaos Spreads November 21:  Trump is trying to distract from his horror show again—threatening to  hang people  and punish anyone who won’t obey unlawful orders. It’s all sleight of hand:  “Look over here!”  while he continues to create chaos everywhere else. Then we get to the newest nepo-baby fascist, Nailin Haley, son of Nikki—...
