🏛️ The “Big, Bold, Beautiful” Bill

Trump’s so-called economic triumph is looking more like a ticking debt bomb. We talk about how this bill is ballooning the national deficit while working families get left behind.

🗣️ Hunter Biden Goes Off

Then, we dive into Hunter Biden’s explosive interview, where he bashes the Democratic Party and calls out their failures. We unpack the frustration, the truth behind it, and what it says about the party’s future.

55. Hunter’s Rage, Mehdi’s Mic Drop, and the Fight for Truth

In this episode of The Sound of Niagara, Nate McMurray plays and unpacks two moments that lit up the internet—and say a lot about where we are as a country.

🧠 Mehdi Hasan vs. 20 Right-Wing Youths

We start with a few fiery clips of Mehdi Hasan debating a room full of 20 young conservatives. No notes, no fear—just facts, clarity, and a sharp tongue.

Spoiler: the kids weren’t ready.

They came armed with slogans—Mehdi came with substance. And the difference shows.

🎤 Hunter Biden’s Crash-Out Defense

Then we play clips of Hunter Biden passionately defending his father. It’s raw, emotional, and a little chaotic—but also deeply human.
