NATE CAST: The Nate McMurray Show Podcast

January 21, 2026 — Playing With Fire: Trump, the Arctic, and Global ConsequencesIn today’s podcast, I talk about the core problem with Donald Trump: he takes legitimate concerns—like Arctic security and defense—and turns them into reckless, life-threatening crises. Not because they require it, but because chaos seems to relieve his own boredom and insecurity.That’s the danger. He’s playing with fire.What happens if Europe finally calls his bluff and demands the removal of U.S. military bases? What if Canada responds by inviting Chinese military bases as a counterweight to American threats? That’s hardball—and it’s not theoretical. These are exactly the kinds of escalations that lead to real consequences: fractured alliances, global instability, and even the decoupling of the U.S. dollar as the world’s reserve currency.All of this risk—for what? By his own words, for a “chunk of ice.”In other news, New York appears to be heading toward congressional redistricting again. That’s another political earthquake with enormous implications—and yes, potentially more seats. Buckle up.Come see me February 7, 2026, at 2:00 PM at 260 Rainbow Boulevard for the campaign kickoff—and maybe even a live broadcast.It’s a wide-ranging episode about power, ego, and the very real costs of treating global leadership like a game.See you soon.#Podcast#PoliticalPodcast#GlobalSecurity#ForeignPolicy#ArcticSecurity#AlliesMatter#Democracy#LeadershipMatters#RuleOfLaw#Authoritarianism#ThisIsNotNormal#NewYorkPolitics#Redistricting#CampaignKickoff#NateMcMurray#NateCast

Today’s podcast is about the absolutely insane moment we’re living in.Are we really talking about invading Greenland? For what, exactly? Our closest allies are horrified. There’s real discussion abroad about banning everyday American products in response — and people don’t seem to grasp what that means. This isn’t abstract. It affects everything from government procurement to consumer goods — yes, even things like Legos, which come from Denmark. And for what? To distract? To avoid Epstein accountability? To dodge uncomfortable truths like inflation?At the same time, we’re seeing something even more dangerous at home. There’s talk about using the National Guard to defend against ICE in Minnesota. That’s not normal politics — that’s state versus federal authority, the kind of standoff that historically defines civil conflict. And ask yourself: if this were really about immigration, why Minnesota? Why not Arizona or Texas? This isn’t about border policy. It’s about control.I talk about how all of this fits together — foreign policy chaos, domestic overreach, and a growing willingness to normalize extreme measures. And I end where George Orwell warned we might: a future defined not by freedom or dignity, but by power — a boot on the face, over and over again.#MLKDay#January19#Podcast#PoliticalPodcast#Democracy#RuleOfLaw#Authoritarianism#CivilLiberties#ForeignPolicy#AmericaAbroad#Orwellian#ThisIsNotNormal#LeadershipMatters#NateCast

Today’s Podcast — A Tribute to Josh AllenJanuary 19, 2026Today 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 deeply is a flaw. As if loving your teammates, your fans, and the snow-covered town you represent is something to apologize for. It isn’t. It’s leadership. It’s humanity.Josh Allen represents everything that’s right about Buffalo: toughness without arrogance, loyalty without ego, humility without weakness, and heart without limits. He plays hurt. He stays when he could leave. He lifts everyone around him. And he never hides who he is. That kind of authenticity is rare — in sports, and in life.I needed to get that off my chest.I also touch briefly on how our European friends are looking at America right now — and it isn’t pretty. There’s disbelief, concern, and real sadness about where we are and how we’re seen. The madness feels constant. And no — Trump is not respected abroad. Not even close.It’s a wide-ranging episode, but it starts where it should: with gratitude — for someone who represents this city, this team, and this community the right way.#BuffaloVoices#JoshAllen #BillsMafia #BuffaloBills #GreatestBill #BuffaloPride #HeartOfBuffalo #SnowCityStrong#RealLeadership #StrengthIsEmotion #MenWithHeart #AuthenticityMatters #RespectOverMockery#GlobalPerspective #AmericaAbroad #LeadershipMatters#NateMcMurray #natecast

January 16, 2026 — Trump’s “Insurrection” Claims Are Laughable as Peaceful Protests ContinueToday’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. And that’s exactly why we don’t play into them.Instead, we talk about using judo, not brute force — redirecting rage rather than amplifying it. Meeting anger with dignity isn’t weakness. It’s the stronger path. And history shows: it works.From there, I share news about my impending run for office and invite you to come see me in person:📍 February 7🕑 2:00 PM🏛 One Niagara Welcome Center, Niagara Falls📍 Second-floor loungeCome out, say hello, meet good people, and have some fun. Low pressure, real conversation, and a reminder that change starts right here at home.#January16#NateCast#Trump#PeacefulProtest#Democracy

January 15, 2026 — Love for Hochul, Opposition to ICE, and Advice for Young MenJoined 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 and the right to due process, and trampling those rights doesn’t make us safer — it makes us weaker.From there, I do something that may surprise a few people — I offer a genuine letter appreciation to Governor Kathy Hochul. I’ve given her my share of grief over the years (sometimes deserved, sometimes… probably just me being me). But people change, leaders grow, and I’m grown enough to admit when I’ve changed too. Right now, she’s earning my respect — and I’m happy to say that out loud. Go Bills!We also lighten things up with some honest, practical advice for young men — real talk about dating, confidence, and how to actually connect with people, from someone who’s lived enough life to learn a few things the hard way.Serious issues, human moments, and a little fun along the way — that’s today’s show.#NateMcMurray#NateCast#LanguageMatters#Authoritarianism#WhiteSupremacy#AbuseOfPower#RuleOfLaw#DemocracyUnderPressure#FascismWarning#HumanDignity#IndependentMedia#PoliticsPodcast#January12#KathyHochul#Governo

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 that should stop everyone cold:We beat the Nazis. We beat the Soviets.We didn’t just defeat them militarily — we defeated their ideas. We rejected secret police, unaccountable power, propaganda states, and government intimidation.So why, now, are we modeling our government after the losers of history?Why are federal agencies using rhetoric that mirrors authoritarian propaganda — dividing people into “real Americans” and “enemies,” demanding obedience over rights, power over law?This isn’t about left or right.This is about whether the Constitution still matters — or whether fear has finally convinced people to give it up for loser ideas. We beat the Nazis. We beat the Soviets.We didn’t just defeat them militarily — we defeated their ideas. We rejected secret police, unaccountable power, propaganda states, and government intimidation.#Constitution#FreeSpeech#CivilRights#RuleOfLaw#Democracy#NateMcMurray#NateCast#January13#ConstitutionMatters#CivilLiberties

January 9, 2026 (Friday) — Patriots, “Terrorists,” and the Madness of Ego PoliticsIf 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 being weaponized to excuse violence for one group while erasing humanity for another.We also talk about the fear and disorder being caused far beyond U.S. borders. People in Greenland are reporting anxiety and even nightmares over rhetoric about a possible U.S. invasion — something that makes no strategic or moral sense.Denmark has already made clear that cooperation is possible. Existing, even closed, military facilities could be discussed. Diplomacy exists. Partnership exists.So why threaten force?Because Donald Trump governs through ego, not restraint — as if we’re living in the last century, not a fragile, interconnected world where reckless words alone can destabilize regions.This episode is about double standards, moral collapse, and the danger of confusing strength with cruelty.Some lines matter.Some lies matter.And some times demand that we say: enough.#NateMcMurray#NateCast#RuleOfLaw#DoubleStandards#AbuseOfPower#PoliticalViolence#DemocracyUnderPressure#HumanDignity#AntiWar#ForeignPolicy#IndependentMedia#PoliticsPodcast#January9

January 7, 2026 — No Investigation, No Restraint: A Killing at Home and the Casual Drift Toward World WarToday, 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 rush to narrative.At the same time, we’re hearing casual talk about confrontation with Denmark, Poland, and the UK over Greenland — a place where the U.S. already exercises enormous influence without firing a shot. Are we really prepared to risk global stability for one man’s ego?And looming behind it all is the same question Americans have been asked for decades:Are our kids going to be sent abroad — not to defend freedom — but to guard oil company interests in places like Venezuela, even as global oil prices fall due to oversupply?This episode is about power without restraint, violence without accountability, and a political culture that keeps lowering the moral floor.Beware the dark times.#NateCast#BewareTheDarkTimes#RuleOfLaw#NoInvestigationNoJustice#AbuseOfPower#StateViolence#DueProcessMatters#AntiWar#HumanRights#DemocracyUnderPressure#PowerAndAccountability#IndependentMedia#PoliticsPodcast#NewsCommentary#January7

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. China can pivot to Russia for more oil tomorrow. That excuse collapses instantly. What this actually looks like—again—is another Trump-style foreign adventure: loud, reckless, and transactional, wrapped in patriotic language while serving private interests.Look at the map.Venezuela.Oil.Control.Leverage.That’s the point. Not democracy. Not freedom. Not you.PLUS: January 6 is tomorrow. Five years later. And the attempt to erase it from our history should terrify every American. January 6 wasn’t a fluke—it was the inevitable result of a politics that treats power as personal property and truth as optional.When a country forgets an attack on its own democracy, it invites the next one.Meanwhile, back home, health care costs are exploding. Groceries cost more every week. Life is harder. And we’re told to smile, to accept the “good news,” to stop asking questions.Here’s the quiet part said out loud:Your kids could be sent halfway around the world to guard oil interests in Venezuela while executives collect bonuses in Houston and politicians collect applause at rallies.So I’ll ask it again—the question Trump won’t answer:What’s in this for you?Because we’ve done this before.And it never ends the way they promise.#January6 #NeverForget #OilWars #Venezuela #Trump #NateCast #NateMcMurray #Democracy #Truth #Power #WhatComesNext

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 country.Then I turn to Niagara Falls—our region’s greatest asset—and why the current state of the city of Niagara Falls is a national shame.And finally, I hint at what 2026 may bring for my own future in politics.A bigger announcement coming next week.Stay tuned.#January6 #NeverForget #Democracy #PoliticalMemory #NateCast #NateMcMurray #Mamdani #AmericanPolitics #NiagaraFalls #CivicDuty #Truth #Power #WhatComesNext

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-ranging, honest—and sometimes awkward—conversation with local financial expert Tony O about power, hypocrisy, money, faith, media, and what’s really happening beneath the noise.But here’s the thing: talking still matters.Truth still matters.Decency still matters.As 2026 arrives, I’m choosing hope—not the passive kind, but the active kind. The kind that believes people can wake up, institutions can be challenged, and better futures are still built by ordinary people who refuse to give up.Stay curious.Stay human.Stay hopeful.See you in 2026.#HappyNewYear #2026 #NateCast #NateMcMurray #Trump #Hope #Truth #KeepGoing

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 Trump address to the union wasn’t a speech. It was a tantrum. No plan. No vision. Just yelling at working people about money, like he’s a landlord banging on the door asking where the rent is. No empathy. No policy. Just grievance and noise. And that matters, because when someone has nothing left to offer, they don’t persuade—they get louder.We live in a country where obscene wealth is treated like virtue, and basic dignity is treated like a luxury. People are told to smile while getting fleeced—to accept worse healthcare, worse wages, worse lives—because someone somewhere got richer. And if you complain, they tell you you’re “jealous” or “ungrateful.” That’s not capitalism. That’s not freedom. That’s a scam dressed up as morality.Trump again knows he has nothing to offer, so it’s distraction after distraction. Culture wars. Outrage bait. Endless noise. While you’re arguing, they’re cashing checks. And when that isn’t enough, he reaches for trophies.Look at the Kennedy Center nonsense. This guy lives for his name on things—buildings, plaques, titles. He doesn’t care about art. He doesn’t care about history. He doesn’t care about democracy. He wants trophies, because trophies are all he understands. He’s not building anything. He’s branding himself on top of what others built. That’s not leadership. That’s insecurity with a Sharpie.Let’s talk about what the right actually wants for your life. Ben Shapiro’s vision is this: Jimmy Stewart is a fraud. Work forever. Sacrifice everything. Accept less. Smile about it. Meanwhile, the people at the top get to be Mr. Potter—hoarding wealth, power, and control—while lecturing everyone else about “personal responsibility.” Those are the real heroes, according to Benny.Here’s the truth they don’t want you to say out loud: a country obsessed with worshiping wealth will eventually forget how to value people. And when that happens, democracy doesn’t die in one dramatic moment—it rots slowly, while people are told to shut up, work harder, and accept less.I’m not doing that.And neither should you.#TheNateMcMurrayShowPodcast#TheNateMcMurrayShow#NateMcMurray#Trump#BenShapiro#MrPotter#PeopleOverProfits#CorporateGreed#EconomicJustice#PoliticalPodcast#AmericanValues#EnoughIsEnough

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 to have that fall apart. How many times does this have to happen? I’m not nitpicking. This is a pattern. And at some point, you have to ask: does anyone actually trust this guy’s leadership?Meanwhile, Trump blames schools for violence and mocks Rob Reiner’s death—literally mocking him. That’s not politics. That’s ghoulish. That’s who he is.Finally, we get into Erica Kirk, who is still out here spinning—trying to pretend that Charlie Kirk calling the Civil Rights Act a “mistake” was just a harmless comment taken out of context.How, Erica?How?#GunViolence #EnoughIsEnough #LeadershipMatters #Accountability #CivilRights #CharlieKirk #Trump #MoralClarity #Politics #America #StopTheSpin #TheStatusQuoIsFailing #NateMcMurray #NateMcMUrrayShow

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, groceries, and Christmas.He has no plan.No solutions.Just insults and deflection.Then we dive into the right-wing civil war, which somehow grows uglier every day.It’s the old guard — the boring, buttoned-up, church-lady politics of JD Vance and Erika Kirk — versus the actual demons they summoned:Candace OwensNick Fuentesand the swarm of grifters, trolls, and chaos agents they empoweredThis is the monster they built.Now it’s eating them.And it’s terrible for America — instability, radicalization, conspiracy, and cruelty all wrapped into a personality cult with no ideology and no moral center.Along with this, we look at the horror-show interview between Nick Fuentes and Piers Morgan, a grotesque display of hate, delusion, and self-importance.If this is the intellectual face of MAGA’s youth movement, the country should be alarmed.Then we return to Kristi Noem, who sat in a brutal House hearing and tried — with a straight face — to argue that she has no discretion and is “forced” to deport:U.S. veteransAmerican residents with decades in this countryPeople who have lived here 40+ yearsRepresentative Seth Magaziner of Rhode Island tore through those excuses.Because deporting veterans is not a legal requirement.It’s a choice — her choice.And she made the cruel one.#NateMcMurrayShow#December12#TrumpMeltdown#AffordabilityCrisis#MAGACivilWar#CandaceOwens#NickFuentes#JdVance#KristiNoem#Immigration#VeteransRights#SethMagaziner#DemocracyAtRisk#FightLikeHell

🎙️ Podcast Summary — December 11, 2025: Trickle-Down Lies, China’s Rise, Trump’s Decline, and a Bills PredictionToday’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 wealthy few.Listen and decide for yourself:Am I right? Or is Tony O right?Because this debate goes to the heart of what kind of economy we want in this country.After that, we shift into some of today’s biggest stories, including:China isn’t just catching up — they’re surpassing in areas like shipbuilding, missile technology, and AI-enabled warfare. And meanwhile, America is distracted by culture wars and chaos. The contrast is staggering, and dangerous.We talk about how visibly he is slipping — the rambling, the confusion, the self-contradictions — and yet the media still tiptoes around it.This is a man who cannot finish a sentence, let alone run a country.And while he declines, let’s remember one truth:Lower costs? Nope.Better healthcare? Never happened.A plan “coming in two weeks” since 2016? Still not here.Mexico paying for the wall? A joke.At some point, you have to ask:If you paid a guy to paint your house and instead he painted your neighbor’s garage, would you keep paying him?Would you hire him again?Would you call him a genius?Or would you say,“Bro… you failed. I want my money back!"A big episode, full of fire, facts, and a little football at the end.#NateMcMurrayShow#December11#WealthInequality#TrickleDownEconomics#ChinaRise#TrumpDecline#HealthcareScam#MexicoDidNotPay#EconomicReality#BuffaloBills#FightLikeHell#DemocracyAtRiskPodcast Summary — December 11, 2025: Trickle-Down Lies, China’s Rise, Trump’s Decline, and a Bills Prediction🇨🇳 The rise of the Chinese military🇺🇸 Trump’s failing mental acuity❌ Trump has failed to deliver on every major promise he ever made.🏈 And yes — Nate makes a prediction for the Buffalo Bills.

🎙️ Podcast Summary — December 10, 2025: The MAGA Civil War Erupts as Trump Blames Everyone but HimselfToday’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 shrinking audience.Then we move to Nick Fuentes vs. JD Vance, a toxic matchup no one asked for, each trying to out-extreme the other.And looming behind them all is Milo Yiannopoulos, still trying to manipulate the entire movement from the shadows, still stirring chaos, still desperate for relevance.The MAGA coalition is breaking apart, and for good reason — because it was never a real coalition.It was a cult held together by grievance, paranoia, and a single political figure who promised everything and delivered nothing.Then we shift to Trump himself, who now openly talks about launching the same kind of holy war for oil he once claimed he was morally opposed to. Remember when he said America would “stop endless wars”? Now he’s planning one that would destabilize the entire world.Meanwhile, prices on everything are skyrocketing: • Christmas toys • Groceries • Gas • Rent • UtilitiesBut instead of offering real solutions, Trump keeps telling us it’s all in our heads — that Americans aren’t struggling, that we’re imagining the pain, that our empty bank accounts are just “bad vibes.”BRO — it’s been a year.Stop making excuses.Stop blaming Joe Biden for everything under the sun.Stop running from accountability.And still — still — we wait for the miracle healthcare plan Trump promised in: • 2016 • 2017 • 2018 • 2019 • 2020 • and again nowHe’s had a decade of promises and zero plans.Nothing is coming.There is no plan.But the finger-pointing never ends.Today’s episode is all of that — a look at a movement cracking, a leader flailing, and a country paying the price for political theater instead of policy.🔻 Hashtags#NateMcMurrayShow#December10#MAGACivilWar#CandaceOwens#ErikaKirk#NickFuentes#JDVance#MiloYiannopoulos#TrumpAgain#EconomicStrain#RisingPrices#HealthcareHoax#StopTheExcuses#DemocracyAtRisk#FightLikeHell

December 8, 2025: Hegseth’s Legal Crisis, Trump’s Fake Trophies, Sydney Sweeney’s Apology, and China’s New Propaganda PushToday’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 philosophically, but legally.Because we are not at war, and our laws couldn’t be clearer:You cannot order the killing of unarmed, shipwrecked survivors and call it “mission success.”You cannot shift your story from deny deny deny to “I wasn’t even there” and expect this to go away.most serious abuses of power in recent memory.From there, we pivot to Trump and his endless hunger for fake trophies — starting with that absurd FIFA award he was given, which means nothing and represents nothing.It’s the same pattern:If he can’t earn an honor, he’ll manufacture one.Then we talk about the Kennedy Center Honors, and Trump’s obsession with whether or not he’s recognized by elite institutions.But here’s the question:Why is he hunting for medals and ceremonies when he never lifted a finger to fix healthcare, or housing, or prescription drug costs, or anything that actually affects American families?He wants applause. He doesn’t want work.Then we get into Sydney Sweeney, who finally apologized for that disastrous jeans ad — the one that became a meme for unintended comedy.And we talk about how her career has stalled, not because she isn’t talented, but because she tethered herself to MAGA culture, and MAGA fame burns hot and fast…and then it vanishes.Because gimmicks aren’t careers.Cults aren’t talent agents.We close with something deeply serious:China’s new propaganda campaign linking Taiwan and Okinawa, using the exact Russian model of cynical neutralization — muddy the waters, rewrite history, sow confusion, then claim destiny.It’s an information war with global consequences.And yes, we talk about AI — how these propaganda tools are getting smarter, faster, and more dangerous, and why democracies need to understand this fight before it swallows us whole.A big episode. #NateMcMurrayShow#MorningBriefing#December8#Hegseth#WarCrimes#TrumpFIFA#KennedyCenterHonors#SydneySweeney#MAGA#ChinaTaiwan#Okinawa#AIThreat#DemocracyAtRisk#FightLikeHellDecember 8, 2025: Hegseth’s Legal Crisis, Trump’s Fake Trophies, Sydney Sweeney’s Apology, and China’s New Propaganda Push🔻 Hashtags

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, when he has no answers, he returns to the same tactic:Attack minorities. Attack immigrants. Change the subject. Keep people angry, not informed.But we push back by talking about how strong, proud, and vibrant the Somali community is in Minnesota, a community that contributes enormously to the state. These are longtime residents, business owners, workers, parents — Americans. Trump’s dehumanizing rhetoric isn’t just false; it’s poisonous.We then turn to a disturbing trend:U.S. citizens being detained by Border Patrol and ICE.American citizens — detained because of how they look, how they speak, or what their last name is.This is not “security.”This is state overreach, and it should alarm every person in this country, Democrat, Republican, Independent — everyone.Then we move to the surreal moment where Speaker Mike Johnson said he wants to have a dinner party with Jesus — and have Jesus serve Mexican food.Which, honestly, would be funny if the country weren’t in crisis.And finally, we end with Trump’s latest election-season gimmick:the so-called “child savings accounts.”We break down what they really are:Not a real policy.Not funded.Not paid for.Just another election-time scam to trick parents into thinking he cares.A fake program for fake promises — designed only to help him get re-elected.It’s all distraction, all noise, all grievance.But on this show, we cut through it and talk about the truth.#NateMcMurrayShow#MorningBriefing#December5#Immigration#SomaliCommunity#IlhanOmar#MikeJohnson#BorderPatrol#ICE#TrumpScams#ChildSavingsAccountHoax#FightLikeHell#DemocracyAtRisk

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 violations of our own laws and of the core principles of the United States military.Targeting shipwrecked, helpless survivors after an operation?That would betray everything American service members are taught about honor, restraint, and the rules of engagement.This is serious.This is not politics.This cuts to the heart of what kind of country we claim to be.Then we turn to Trump, who is now insisting the affordability crisis is a “Democratic hoax.”He’s saying people aren’t struggling, that “everyone is doing great,” while the cost of housing, groceries, medicine, and basic life keeps crushing families.He’s delusional — or lying to keep voters numb.And on top of that, he’s calling Somali immigrants “garbage.”Dehumanizing language from a man who looks like he’s falling apart in real time.When the cruelty escalates, you know the insecurity is boiling over.Then we move to Kash Patel, who now openly claims he’s justified in flying around on a private jet to see his girlfriend — literally admitting it like it’s perfectly normal for someone tied to a former administration to use political influence as a personal travel perk.This is corruption in daylight, not even hiding anymore.And finally — a bright spot.Sabrina Carpenter pushed back hard against the Trump team trying to use her music without permission. She said no.She stood up.And she’s right.Taylor Swift should follow her lead.If Trump is going to campaign on division and grievance, artists should not let him hijack their work to soundtrack the chaos.This is your morning briefing.Stay alert. Stay awake. Stay grounded.Morning Briefing — December 2, 2025: Hegseth Spirals, Trump Calls Somalis “Garbage,” and Corruption Takes Flight#NateMcMurrayShow#MCMURRAY#MorningBriefing#Hegseth#WarCrimesAllegations#TrumpMeltdown#SomaliCommunity#AffordabilityCrisis#KashPatel#CorruptionWatch#SabrinaCarpenter#TaylorSwift#ProtectDemocracy

December 2, 2025: The Democrats Can’t Run to the Middle — Stand for SomethingToday’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 something.And what should that be?A fair society.That’s it. That’s the whole message.I remind listeners that America has been here before. We had a Gilded Age — the rail barons, the monopolists, the political machines, the brutal inequality. And the only reason that era ended was because politicians finally stood up and said, “Enough.”That era gave us FDR, the New Deal, and the creation of the American middle class — the greatest social invention in world history.It didn’t happen by accident.It didn’t happen by compromise.It happened because leaders chose fairness, because people demanded justice, because progressives pushed the country forward.We need that same courage again.Not triangulation.Not fear.Not consultants whispering, “Don’t upset anyone.”We need an unapologetic return to the values that created opportunity in the first place — LBJ, FDR, real progressive policies that lift everyone.I also cover the bizarre moment this week where a major drug kingpin was pardoned, and while that news broke, Trump was ranting that we should invade Venezuela — as if he’s trying to start a war to distract from his own collapse.And yes, I talk about Trump’s continued public meltdown and his attack on a female reporters — more proof that this man is unraveling and that the danger grows every time the media treats this as normal.Through all of it, I remind listeners:The biggest threat facing this country isn’t caravans or migrants or some imaginary culture war.It’s wealth inequality.It’s a political class — especially on the right — owned by billionaires and corporations, fighting every single day to keep working people weak, divided, and distracted.If Democrats want to win, they don’t need to chase the middle.They need to fight for fairness, fight for the middle class, and fight for the soul of the country.#December2 #NateMcMurrayShow #SoundOfNiagara #FDR #LBJ #NewDeal #MiddleClass #FairSociety #TrumpMeltdown #Venezuela #AmericanPolitics #FightLikeHell #DemocratsStandForSomething
