  NATE CAST: THE McKIERNAN FAMILY OF LOVE CANALONE FAMILY’S STORY. ONE QUESTION: IS HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF?

  Aug 18, 202643 min

  NATE CAST: THE McKIERNAN FAMILY OF LOVE CANALONE FAMILY’S STORY. ONE QUESTION: IS HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF? Tuesday, August 18, 2026 The Love Canal disaster changed America. It led to the creation of the federal Superfund program after hundreds of families were forced from their homes because of toxic contamination. But nearly 50 years later, another family says they woke up to discover that the property they purchased sits on land connected to contamination concerns. Today on NATE CAST , we hear directly from the McKiernan family. Not from politicians. Not from agencies. Not from lawyers. From the family itself. We’ll discuss: Why they chose to move near Love Canal. When they first learned there might be contamination. What it feels like to suddenly question whether your home is safe. Why they are asking to be relocated. Their interactions with state and local officials. Whether they believe they have received honest answers. What they want to happen next. The McKiernans have three sons, including a child with special needs. They say they are not looking for publicity—they are looking for certainty and peace of mind. We’ll also ask the larger questions: Has the chapter on Love Canal really been closed? Are there other contaminated areas that deserve more investigation? Are officials being sufficiently transparent with the public, or are they too concerned about creating panic? What level of testing, disclosure, and communication should families reasonably expect? These are important questions. They deserve careful discussion, evidence, and open conversation. Join us for one family’s story—in their own words. #LoveCanal #NiagaraFalls #NiagaraCounty #EnvironmentalJustice #PublicHealth #ToxicExposure #Superfund #CleanUpLoveCanal #GovernmentAccountability #Transparency #CommunityVoices #NateCast #WesternNewYork #NewYork #EnvironmentalCleanup #FamiliesFirst #Pollution #RightToKnow #SafeCommunities #NeverAgain

  NATE CAST LIVE – AUGUST 12, 2026 | Why Are Property Taxes So High?

  Aug 12, 202646 min

  NATE CAST LIVE PODCAST SUMMARY – AUGUST 12, 2026 This week on NATE CAST LIVE , I sit down with North Tonawanda Councilman Willard Schulmeister for a fun conversation that goes in just about every direction. We tackle the question everyone asks: Why are property taxes so high? Will breaks down where your tax dollars actually go, what’s driving costs, and why it’s not always as simple as people think. We also talk politics. Will is a Democrat who voted for Donald Trump, and he shares why he made that choice—and why he’s since grown tired of Trump and where things have gone. Of course, we couldn’t resist swapping stories about North Tonawanda —old memories, favorite places, how the city has changed, and what it’s doing well today. And we wrap things up with a conversation about data centers , the promises they make, the concerns surrounding them, and why they’re becoming such a hot topic across Western New York. It’s a laid-back conversation with plenty of laughs, a few disagreements, and lots of local talk. Give it a listen!

  NATE CAST: Duncan Ross on Tesla, Tourism, and the Future of Western New York

  Aug 5, 20261h 22m

  NATE CAST – August 5, 2026This episode features a conversation with Duncan Ross. We discuss his background in business, executive leadership, and regional economic development. He explains why he opposed the Tesla subsidy deal in Buffalo and shares his philosophy on economic development, arguing that government should focus more on facilitating business growth than creating unnecessary barriers.We also talk about his winery and farm, Arrowhead Spring Vineyards, and how agriculture and tourism can play a larger role in Western New York’s future. Politically, Duncan describes himself as an old-style Republican whose priorities are rooted more in local and regional issues than national politics—despite my repeated attempts to draw him into those debates.Finally, we discuss the long-term importance of environmental protection, preserving our natural resources, and why economic growth and environmental stewardship should work together rather than compete with one another.

  NATE CAST – Monday, August 3 Is Capitalism Broken?

  Aug 3, 20261h 13m

  NATE CAST – Monday, August 3 Is Capitalism Broken? Trump’s comments continue to send markets swinging. AI is booming—but are we watching another bubble form? Meanwhile, millions of Americans still struggle to afford groceries, fill up their gas tanks, or even go to the doctor. What kind of economy are we really living in, and where is it headed? This week I’m joined by Tony O. to talk about capitalism itself—what still works, what doesn’t, and whether the system is reaching a breaking point. We’ll also discuss the changing nature of warfare. The United States has spent trillions of dollars on recent conflicts, yet military superiority alone doesn’t seem to guarantee success against much weaker adversaries. What does that mean for the future of military power, diplomacy, cyberwarfare, drones, and asymmetric conflict? Then we’ll turn to the environmental crisis unfolding here in Western New York. With EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin arguing that businesses are overregulated, what does that mean for communities dealing with the legacy of industrial pollution? We’ll discuss the challenge of holding polluters accountable, the role of the EPA and DEC, and what happens when governments and corporations dispute responsibility. All that and more on this week’s NATE CAST. And finally, thank you to everyone who donated to my campaign over the past 24 hours. We had an incredible weekend of support. I’ll be sharing an update very soon. #NATECAST #Podcast #Capitalism #Economy #StockMarket #ArtificialIntelligence #AIBubble #Trump #Inflation #CostOfLiving #Healthcare #MiddleClass #Military #NationalSecurity #Diplomacy #AsymmetricWarfare #Drones #Cybersecurity #Environment #EPA #DEC #LeeZeldin #NiagaraFalls #WesternNewYork #EnvironmentalJustice #Politics #NewYork #TonyO #Assembly145

  NATE CAST – JULY 31, 2026, CHRISTEN CIVILETTO, AUTHOR OF THUNDERING WATERS: THE TOXIC LEGACY OF NIAGARA FALLS

  Jul 31, 202658 min

  NATE CAST – JULY 31, 2026, CHRISTEN CIVILETTO, AUTHOR OF THUNDERING WATERS: THE TOXIC LEGACY OF NIAGARA FALLS This week on NATE CAST, I sit down with Christen Civiletto—civil rights attorney, UB law professor, environmental advocate, and author of Thundering Waters: The Toxic Legacy of Niagara Falls, for an important conversation about the chemical and radioactive contamination that has shaped Niagara Falls for generations. For decades, our region helped build America. We powered industry, supported the war effort, and produced the chemicals and materials that fueled the modern economy. But those achievements came with a cost—one that many families believe they are still paying today. We discuss what we know about the legacy of toxic chemicals and radioactive contamination, why these issues continue to affect residents, what rights affected families have, and what responsibilities government and industry owe to the people who live here. Most importantly, we talk about hope. This conversation is not about fear or political finger-pointing. It’s about how a community comes together to face difficult truths, demand accountability, protect public health, and begin rebuilding trust. Niagara Falls has overcome enormous challenges before. If we have the courage to confront our past honestly and work together, we can reclaim our community, restore confidence in our future, and build a cleaner, healthier future for generations to come. Join us for what I believe will be one of the most important conversations we’ve had on NATE CAST. #NiagaraFalls #ThunderingWaters #ChristenCiviletto #NateCast #EnvironmentalJustice #LoveCanal #RadioactiveContamination #ToxicWaste #PublicHealth #CleanUpNiagara #WesternNewYork #EnvironmentalLaw #CivilRights #CommunityAction #NiagaraCounty #ProtectOurFamilies #RestoreNiagara #HopeForNiagara #ReclaimNiagara #JusticeForNiagara
