County Executive Steve McLaughlin joins Mike Lomas and Glenn Wiggle for a fiery conversation you won’t hear on mainstream media. McLaughlin pulls back the curtain on New York politics, recounting his clashes with former Governor Andrew Cuomo, Attorney General Tish James, and Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz. From refusing to comply with Cuomo’s nursing home mandates during COVID, to slashing county taxes by 49%, McLaughlin shares how common sense leadership and unapologetic transparency transformed Rensselaer County.
The discussion dives into political corruption, weaponized investigations, pandemic hypocrisy, and the radical shift in New York’s political landscape. McLaughlin reveals how standing firm in his principles not only protected his community—but exposed the power-hungry overreach of Albany elites.
If you're tired of weak politicians, backroom deals, and leaders who refuse to speak the truth, this conversation is a breath of fresh air.
