Nick Shirley returns to expose Cuba's fuel shortages, $14 monthly salaries, and alleged intelligence surveillance, while detailing his Minnesota fraud investigations into Ilhan Omar's unproven $250 million theft claims. He confronts the "Stop Nick Shirley Act," arguing it criminalizes journalism against California's $100 billion in nonprofit fraud, including Armenian hospices and unregulated daycares. Despite Governor Newsom's tepid defense compared to Shirley's viral support, he warns of radicalized threats, outlines his independent media growth, and advises studying influencer motives for financial stability.

Almost Taken Hostage in Cuba00:05:20
This gets really crazy, actually.
You're actually the first person who's ever seen this.
None of the gas stations are even in operation right now because there's quite literally no gas.
You almost got taken hostage while you're there.
Yeah, so the president of Cuba knew that we were there.
Like we've been monitoring you guys.
What do you think is going to actually end up happening to Cuba?
Their monthly salary is $14 USD.
One person said they haven't had eggs in a year.
What's the latest with you and Nusa?
What do you think about?
The Stop Nick Shirley Act.
Stop Nick Shirley Act.
I think you're a psycho scam artist.
It's so bad in California.
Like, so bad.
Like, nobody knows how bad it is.
Except for the people living in California.
Quality Learing Center.
Ilan Omar, she needs to get prosecuted or she needs to get deported.
There's evidence that she did marry her brother.
Candace Owens came after me a while back.
That was very interesting.
Why would Candace Owens come after you?
Nick Shirley, how are you doing?
Amazing.
Good seeing you again.
Last time we did this was what?
New Year's Eve?
New Year's Eve.
It's been a crazy four months.
Yes.
And we got a lot of things to talk about, but you just got back from Cuba.
Out of all the places you can go to, why Cuba?
I've been wanting to go to Cuba for the past year or so.
Okay.
Because I've been tracking the rise of communism, socialism here inside the United States.
And so I've been wanting to make a video for a long time going to a communist country to show people what life is like inside a communist country.
And I've been monitoring the situation with Rubio, what he's been saying, with what Trump's been saying.
I said, well, this is probably my last few weeks to do it before they take over.
And so I just hopped on the flight, bought my ticket, and coordinated with security.
Everyone was telling me, Nick, do not go.
My parents were like, do not go.
Security was like, Nick, do not go.
Everyone was telling me, do not go.
I was like, well, I'm going to go because people deserve to see what's happening.
And so I went and yeah, I almost got taken hostage.
You almost got taken hostage while you're there.
Yeah.
So walk me through who you went through.
Was it just security?
Did you take your brother?
Did family go with you?
Yeah, so it's just me and two of my security guards.
One's actually a Cuban American, and the other one also speaks Spanish.
So I had two guys who spoke Spanish.
I also speak fluent Spanish.
However, when you go to different countries, each Spanish is a little bit different.
Like they have different slang and whatnot.
And so these guys I went with had done operations like anti human trafficking operations in Haiti, in Mexico.
And so they're very well versed in these hostile situations.
And when we arrived to the airport, we had done everything correct.
I had my Visa, and it was for journalistic activities.
And I get there, and Rise, I get there.
They take all my.
I only brought two GoPros and some DJI microphones.
They take all of that, and my Meta glasses as well.
However, luckily, I had a very small microphone that I had at the very bottom of my backpack, and the guy's finger just like scuffed it, and he let me.
And he didn't notice that I had that microphone.
So I had my iPhone, and these people were literally, we were with them for probably an hour to two hours as they were trying to figure out what we were doing.
And I was telling them, I'm just here to make a video.
Like I said, I have my visa right here, and I just want to show people what's going on here in Cuba.
And it turned into kind of a big ordeal where they brought in a bunch of other people to come ask me questions and touch the gear, seeing what was, it was like foreign objects to them, like the metaglasses.
They were like analyzing the metaglasses, like they'd.
Like some crazy foreign object.
Because they've never seen it before.
Yeah.
That stuff's not going to be out there.
Now, what was their biggest, like, did they recognize you?
Did they know who you were or no?
Not from the get go.
I don't think so.
And then they asked me, what kind of videos do you make?
I was like, well, I just go around the world showing people what's going on with journalism.
And I told them my name.
And then one of the ladies was like, one of the ladies said, he's up to no good.
Like Trump probably sent him or something like that.
She said, one of the ladies said, yeah, she's like, she said, Trump probably sent him.
Because I was the only American in the airport.
Like I'm the only gringo there.
And, uh, I have these two security guards with me and literally the only American, white American male there.
Interesting.
So they took, did you get anything back or no?
The cameras, all this stuff?
I ended up getting it back when I left the airport the next day.
I was planning on being there for three days and it turned into 24 hours.
So everything you shot and recorded is on an iPhone?
Yeah.
Huh.
iPhone and one of those mics.
That's all you went with.
That's all I had was an iPhone, my microphones.
They took like the stabilizer, that's like, The most simple stabilizer.
They took that, and I was just filming with a GoPros and iPhone, and they took the GoPros, obviously.
So, now while you're in the airport, who else is coming to you?
Is other security coming?
Is there intel coming?
Is the military showing up?
Filming Without Gas or Cars00:14:48
Is it a big spectacle, or is it fairly low key in a different private room where nobody sees it?
No, it was out in the open.
So, right as I get there, they then take me back to this different area, and from there, they had two people working this desk, and then they ended up bringing in three other people.
And there's like the boss of the airport, and then two other people that they were literally writing everything down on a piece of paper.
Like, they don't have computers inside of the airport.
So, they're literally writing everything down pen and paper.
And the paper is not even a sheet of paper, it's a receipt, like an empty receipt.
You didn't see one computer in the airport?
No.
It was all pen and paper as far as when they were taking my stuff.
So, now when you leave the airport, are they following you?
Do you feel like People around trying to watch to see what you're there for.
Well, as soon as we leave the airport, we're getting followed.
Like they put people on us from the get go.
And so, everything, what people don't realize about communism is everyone is essentially working for the government if they have a job, especially in a location like an airport, especially at the hotels as well.
So, like it creates a whole entire society where everyone just snitches on each other because then that helps them.
And nobody knows about that.
No one speaks about that, about communism.
You only hear that from people who escape North Korea.
Like, you know me, Park.
I don't know if you ever met her.
She told me about that.
So, when I was there, I was like, whoa, this is like North Korea.
Everyone's just like snitching on each other, or everyone's surveilling and then ready to report to make themselves talk about it.
It's funny you say that.
You ever seen the movie, The Tetris, The Story of Tetris?
No, I have not.
Rob, can you pull up the Tetris movie?
I think if there's a movie everybody has to watch on the story of snitching and what happened, is this movie, Tetris.
It's a very good movie that came out a couple years ago.
And how it happened.
The mob was involved.
I even want to say Jelaine Maxwell's father was involved in this story.
Rob, can you go a little bit lower and type in Maxwell?
Type in Control F Maxwell.
Right there.
Yeah.
So it was Roger learns that the worldwide rights were to be sold to British entrepreneur Robert Stan, who sublicensed them to Robert Maxwell's company, headed by Maxwell's son Kevin.
So they talk about secrets, snitching on each other, catching people.
That guy's getting paid.
This guy's getting paid.
Very interesting.
So now you're leaving.
How quickly do you start creating content and taking the camera out?
About two hours.
I get to the hotel, check in.
The guy at the hotel lobby actually knew who I was.
He's like, oh, Nick Shirley.
How does he know you?
From Facebook.
He's like, oh, your videos in Minnesota were great.
And he was a super cool guy.
So there's some cool people in the airport.
This guy was super cool and he put us in a super nice hotel room.
That was super awesome.
But then there were these other people, like there's this older guy who then took us on a tour and he was just like completely lying about everything about Cuba.
I'm like, so this is a communist country?
He's like, no, no, socialist.
We're socialists.
But there's only one party in Cuba.
Amazing.
Communist Party of Cuba.
Is that it?
Is this the guy?
No, this is not the guy.
This is a guy who we went and did a ride around with their 1950 Chevrolet.
Give me what you're seeing in the streets.
What are the cars?
What are the properties looking like?
What are the people, what they're wearing?
Phones, watches.
What did you notice?
Streets are empty.
Buildings are decaying, like turning, a lot of them are turning like rubble.
And there's no cars in the streets.
And the cars they have are from like the 1950s.
And if any of the other cars they do have, they're Chinese or from the Soviet area.
And just mass poverty.
And everyone's just trying to get some dollars.
Like it's super, super, super sad.
What did you eat?
I brought just some protein bars and then I ate at the hotel.
That was it.
How was the food at the hotel?
Super good.
Oh, so it was good.
The food at the hotel was good.
Life inside the hotel is amazing.
It's a five star hotel.
They make sure that you have the best experience possible when you're on their side and they don't think you're making some video asking people about communism, which I was asking people about communism.
So at the end of the night, that's where all the spies, where we eventually had all the spies come.
Yeah.
The spies go to the hotel you were staying at?
Well, we got followed back.
And when I say spies, you think like, oh, undercover spies.
It's just civilians that are.
Operating for the government that are monitoring what you're doing.
And so they're just snitching.
And the hotel that we were at was, it comes to find out, it's obviously run by the government.
And so we kind of created this bad network for ourselves where we kind of got trapped at this hotel where everyone knew who we were and knew that I was making a video asking about communism.
Because the lady that was the spy.
Filmed me asking a guy about communism.
This guy went off about communism, just like how bad it is.
And she then ran away and sat down to the next person.
And then a few minutes later, she's back in the hotel lobby with a guy who had caught following us earlier that day.
This is wild.
It was very wild.
What was for you before I show this clip?
Because there's a bunch of clips I want to show them.
What was something that you expected?
What was surprising?
What was good?
What was bad?
Walk me through what you saw.
Well, maybe you're like.
You know what?
I was surprised.
This is what I liked about it.
This is what was concerning about it.
I expected to see poverty.
I've been to South America.
I lived in South America.
I expected to see that.
I didn't expect to see Latinos so depressed.
Why do you say that?
There was no life in the eyes of a lot of these people.
We all know, we all have Latino friends, and a lot of them are just like the salt of the earth, right?
They're always so happy.
So for me to see these Latinos who are so.
Deprived and depressed, I was like, what is going on?
Like, a lot of the women wouldn't even look you in the eyes.
Like, they're just very depressed.
Like, even at the airport, the women that were working at the airport were so depressed.
And even the men as well, like, there's just no hope for these people.
And so that was what really took me back seeing all these people that were just depressed.
And there was, like, no life in their eyes.
And then seeing, like, some of the architecture that they had.
Like, Cuba used to have, like, the prettiest architecture.
Like, I imagine in the 1950s, it was just beautiful.
And now you're seeing, like, the decay.
And it looks awful there.
Like everything just literally looks like rubble.
It looks like some sort of war zone.
So that was interesting to see.
And then some of the monuments they had, like, look at the architecture on that.
Like, super pretty.
It looks like something you'd see, like, some of the moldings and stuff look like when you're walking the streets of Paris.
And so to see that, and you've seen what it could look like, is very depressing.
Rob, can you type in Cuba before and after?
Before communism, after communism?
Cuba, Cuba.
Because you put Cuban, it may be a girl before a butt job and an after.
Cuba before.
We've done that before, Rob.
You and I were doing some podcasts, weird pictures come up.
Okay, so go to one of them.
That's before and after, 1930s without communism.
Then you got today.
Is that what you saw?
Were you seeing things like that on the bottom?
Exactly.
Trash everywhere, mess everywhere?
There's no gas in the country right now.
For them to get rid of their garbage.
So they're just burning the garbage in the streets.
Like when I arrived, I was like, why is there all this smog in the air?
And the lady next to me goes, oh, because they're just burning all the garbage.
Wow.
What did women look like?
Did you see beautiful people?
Did you see?
Yeah, there's some beautiful ladies there.
But yeah, everyone's like depressed.
And then you ask them about life and they're like, we can't talk about it.
Depressed, beautiful ladies.
Yeah.
I know a guy that will like an area like that.
His name is Adam.
He's been to places like that before.
Yeah, we should send Adam there to live.
Well, not today.
Let's wait to see if this is going to work out or not, but maybe one day.
He's been there before, though.
So let's go to one of the clips.
So, what is this one video that you have here with you and the fellow in the car?
Yeah, so this is the intro to the video that's going to be coming out.
The video's not been dropped yet.
The video's not been dropped yet.
Okay, so people are seeing clips that's not public yet.
No, you're actually the first person who's ever seen this.
Okay, so what is this?
What do we see in this clip?
So, this I'm driving around with a tour guide and the intro, and then you'll see some other clips building up to it.
I'll show you guys the gas stations as well.
Let's see it, Rob.
Let's see it.
What percentage of people do you think are suffering here in Cuba?
La mayoría?
La mayoría?
What's your thoughts on communism?
Wow, so they're that public right now.
None of the gas stations are even in operation right now because there's quite literally no gas.
And we stand out like sore thumbs here, so they're wondering why we're here with cameras interviewing people.
They want to know what's happening and what people are saying.
That's why people are not talking to you.
They're asking why we're trying to leave the hotel early.
Cuba, right now, is facing one of the largest humanitarian crises in the world.
Cuba's government is a one party, communist ruled country, and they are facing massive food shortages, daily blackouts, and a lack of medicine.
And right now, a US blockade is restricting oil and gas from coming inside of the country.
With communism and socialism on the rise in the West, I wanted to see what life in communism is really like firsthand as Cuba has been living underneath communism for over 60 years.
Upon arrival, I completed all required documents and had received a visa for journalistic activity.
However, once I landed, all my camera gear was seized, and within 24 hours, I was planning my escape out of Cuba after their intelligence followed me all day and a two star general came searching for me at the hotel.
Now, let's look at the reality of Cuba and eventually plan our escape out of Cuba.
Where are the people at?
Don't they stop the gente?
No, I'm not here in the car.
No, I'm not here in these casas.
Don't they stop the gente?
The problem is that there's no gasoline.
It's not easy to move.
Anyway, we have a lot of limitations for work.
None of the gas stations are even in operation right now because there's quite literally no gas.
When the United States captured Maduro, their main supplier of gas and oil was shut off.
So the country right now has hardly any gas.
And if you do want to get gas, you have to wait in a line from the government.
The guy that we're in our taxi with right now, he said his position to get gas is $1,200 in line.
And gas from the government costs around $1.
But gas, if you were to buy it on the black market, costs $10 per liter.
That's $40 per gallon if you were to buy gas here in Cuba.
Before they captured Maduro, was there gasoline in the gas stations?
Always, always.
It was easy.
He works for the government too.
But it was easy to get gasoline.
Every day you can go to the gasoline station and buy it normally.
It was normal.
But nowadays, it's really bad.
Just imagine the reality of it.
With a thousand sacrifices and a thousand daily struggles, the average Cuban citizen is the one really going through absolute hell here in this country.
It's so interesting being here.
Opening up.
Everything is just like empty.
That's why they put it on the ground.
It's very like North Korea.
Where most people are coming up.
Complaining?
I select.
I would ask people and then kind of get to a point in the interview where we can't answer any more questions.
They would say they can't answer the question.
Let me see the ending of it, Rob, because I got a bunch of questions right now.
So this is like North Korea here.
Look at this.
Like, they have these monuments for their leaders and it's just like desolate.
Like, when you come into a massive plaza and there's not even cars.
Like, listen, right now you can't even hear a car in sight.
And they have all this other.
Portraits of people and past leaders, leaders of Cuba.
Yet there's hardly anyone even here.
It's very strange.
Here they're saying that this is even more quiet than during Covid, during the pandemic.
Less people are even leaving the streets than during the pandemic.
That's how bad the crisis is right now and the Cuban people simply just don't have money and they also just do not have the resources, like gasoline, to be able to go out and continue their normal lives right now.
Nick, let me ask you, do they have internet meaning?
Are they able to watch youtube facebook twitter, tick tock, or are they able to consume news?
They do, but they have to do it illegally.
They have to use a VPN.
Got it.
So, actually, if you want to watch a TV show, you have to go into a booth and then they run it on a hard drive and they give you a disk.
What do you mean?
They have these weird booths.
So, if you want to watch media or TV, you have to go to a person who then.
You know how back in the day, my dad used to make playlists off of CDs, right?
They do that exact same thing, but for movies and TV shows.
And so, right now, they're releasing shows from like.
The 1990s in the theaters.
And in order to even use a theater, you have to have like around at least, I think, like nine people inside the theater to watch the show.
If not, it just gets cut off.
And there's all these blackouts right now with Powered.
So people really aren't consuming much.
What was the strangest answer you got?
Like, what was the part where you're like, you cannot believe what somebody opened up and things they shared with you?
One person said they haven't had eggs in a year.
Eggs in a year.
Like, they talk about these books that they have, like, I think they call them like the.
Their ration book, where the government controls how much food they get, and they're like, this is horrible.
We haven't even had eggs in a year.
It takes years to get it.
Eat a chicken.
Like stuff that you wouldn't even think about here in the United States, but because of communism and the government controlling what people can actually do and what they can eat, it dictates their entire life.
Did you ask about Trump?
Did Trump come up at all?
Yes, Trump came up.
Were they optimistic?
Were they negative?
Were they afraid?
They, the ones that opened up on camera, they said it'd be good because they're sick of it.
Like, no one, there's a lot of brainwashing that takes place.
So I had a lot of old ladies who were like, oh no, this is good.
Ration Books and Hard Times00:15:58
Like, they're fixing up these buildings.
But then you talk to some of the other individuals that are like, this is horrible.
Like, something needs to happen.
Something needs to happen.
So, in the video, like, I'm still going through and like blurring the faces of these individuals because I don't want them to get sent to jail.
Were there some people that are like, don't record me?
I don't want to be on TV.
I don't want to be on camera.
Yes, a lot of individuals are like that.
And you respect it.
You're like, okay.
Or you get to the point in the interview and you ask a question and then you're like, okay, yeah, see, like, this is what happens.
Like, I've reached my limit here.
How many kids did you see in the streets?
Actual kids, like six, seven, eight, 10, 12 year olds?
Really, not that many.
I talked to a kid who's playing soccer at their university.
He was probably like 12 years old, and it's super sad because I'm like, what's the biggest thing affecting your life right now?
He says, the lights.
They just cut the lights randomly.
I was like, oh, and how does that affect you as a child?
He's like, well, it affects everything like the studies.
We don't know when we have power.
And then there really wasn't that many kids out in the streets, which is weird for being in a country in Latin America.
Usually there's kids everywhere.
Yeah, especially when it's a beautiful place.
Like, Rob, can you pull up Cuba on a map?
And details of how big it is.
How big is Cuba when you sell?
Like, what would you compare it to?
Like, it was a big city.
Have you been to the Bahamas?
I have not been to the Bahamas.
So, if you compare to the Bahamas, zoom out a little bit, Rob.
So, that's Florida, that's Cuba.
It's not small.
No, it's a big country.
Yeah.
It's about two times the size of Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
Yeah.
And so, what part did you go to?
Did you go to Havana?
Just Havana.
Yeah.
Okay.
And there's two million people there.
And so there are two million people there, but the streets are empty.
There's two million people here.
Did you go to the hotel that Meyer Lansky built in Havana?
I don't know.
I was at the Hotel Nacional.
Hotel Nacional?
Is that like the main hotel?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Is that it?
No, that's a different property.
That's the capital.
That's the capital.
What else?
Were they saying things like, we can't wait for something to happen?
Are you here giving us news?
Are we about to be free?
Were they seeing like they're pleading for help with you or they were almost afraid of speaking to you?
Because there's two different energies, right?
Both?
Yeah, so obviously some people don't want to speak out because they're sick of it.
But one of the individuals is like, see, this is why it's gotten like this because we can't speak out.
And so people are grateful that you're actually going and showing what's happening.
And because I'm not going on a tour guide from the government, I was able to actually go out and do journalism.
There's a lot of people who have gone to Cuba lately and they're going on these propaganda trips.
And if you watch their videos, they're only interviewing certain people.
Or their tour guides taking them to certain spots.
I went all by myself.
And then I was supposed to go for about 60 hours.
It turned into 24 because they all, like, they surrounded us at the hotel.
So.
What was the reasoning for you wanting to turn around?
Did you just not fix it?
My security was like, we got to go.
Okay.
They said this is like one of the more risky situations they've ever been in.
And this is coming from guys who have gone to Haiti and who have done anti human trafficking missions in Mexico and Haiti.
So.
How easy was it for you to change the flight and come back early?
Was that pretty smooth and easy?
It was pretty smooth, but we didn't want to let them know and tip them off that we were leaving early.
So I think we booked the flight at like 3 a.m., but it didn't help because when we went down to leave the hotel, the two star general was waiting for us.
And so we went out to go get the taxi, and then the security guard comes.
He's like, hey, don't run.
They're here.
They want to talk to you.
What did they ask you?
So the guy, the general, it was like a movie.
Like, I can't.
It's hard to even put it into words because the feelings and then also the scenery of it.
It's like the stars on the hat, like everything that you would expect to see from a movie.
And they take us back into this room.
He has a secretary with us and he's asking, Hey, why are you guys leaving early?
What was the purpose of your question?
They're asking you why you're leaving early.
Yeah.
Like, why are you leaving early?
We heard that you had an interaction in front of the hotel.
It was everything all right.
And that confirmed that that lady.
Who started taking the cameras reported us to the government because they would have not known about that.
They would not have known about that.
And are you tipping folks?
Are they receiving cash from you?
Do they accept tips?
What was their reaction when you gave them money?
Yeah, so their monthly salary is $14 USD.
And so I was tipping money.
I was like giving money to them.
Monthly salary is $14.
Yes.
Like that's how bad it is.
And then you gave them a tip.
Was it because I remember being in Guatemala?
I went to Puerto Barrios, Livingston, Tical, and Guatemala City.
Going around giving tips to people.
I gave $50 tips and I couldn't.
One mother, where her kid starts crying when I give it to her, she says, You don't understand how much money this is.
What was the reaction they gave you when you tipped them?
They wanted more.
Oh, they wanted more.
Yeah.
These guys were capitalists.
They're greedy.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, at least in every communist, there's a capitalist deep down inside.
Yeah.
So, I mean, you'd give them money and you'd give them.
I don't really took $1 bills and $5 bills.
So you'd give them $1 bill, $3, $5, and then they'd want more and more.
And so, like, eventually, I had a group of people.
Following me around asking for money.
I was like, hey, you guys stop.
I don't have any more.
So, the moment they found out you were tipping, did you find any other Americans there?
That if you're at the hotel at the lobby, would there be other Americans that are coming and talking to you?
Not coming to talk to me.
There were other tourists.
And it was interesting that these tourists, like a lot of them, they were wearing like the communist gear, like they're wearing the shirts of Shay, the communist leader.
And it was so interesting that you had like all these Americans, not even that many Americans, but you had all these.
I don't know where they're from, America or Europe, but they're all like pro communist.
And I'm like, how can you see what I just saw on the streets and say, let's have more of this?
There was a guy that called you out that was in the hotel, Rob.
I think if you got the clip, is this the first one or the second one?
No, you got to go to the first one.
That's the second one.
Go to the first one.
That's him.
So this is the clip.
He says, hey, I'm at the same hotel.
Where's Nick Shirley?
Go ahead and play the clip, Rob.
Oh, Nick Shirley, I'm in the hotel that you.
we're supposedly in here in Havana, Cuba, then you're nowhere to be seen.
Neither is the security and the CIA and the spies that were supposedly holding you hostage.
We understand that you're super tight with Trump and basically what you're doing is just pretext for the United States to try to go ahead and invade Cuba the same way they did with Venezuela.
But you're not here.
I'm at the hotel that Nick Shirley said that he's currently being held hostage by the Cuban government in and that he was tailed by their secret service and there's literally no security here.
I'm making a video in public in a country that he said is communist.
So because of the communism, there's no freedom of speech.
Well, as this brother here sees, there is freedom of speech.
And Nick Shirley's nowhere to be seen.
And neither are these spies that he's talking about.
We're actually about to walk in right now and go find out exactly where he is.
Let's see.
What did he say right there?
He's like, I'm from the United States.
He said, I'm from the United States.
And then the part two of the video.
Yeah, so, but first, like, there's some huge flaws with this guy's video.
He knows I'm not there.
How does he know you're not there?
Because I, in the video, I said, if I, after this video gets posted, it means I made it out.
So he saw the video you posted that you've all heard about.
He's a complete liar.
Okay.
He's literally there to push propaganda that Cuba's all right.
Like, Cuba's not all right.
This is part of the problem where you have these people who can go to a communist country and still support communism.
Why do you think he's doing this?
He lives in America, but he goes there to push communism and say everything's going good.
If it's so good, why is he not moving to Cuba himself?
Yeah, and he's acting like there's no issues.
And it's super funny because on his Instagram, he has a photo of him.
He's like talking about how great it is and how there's no.
Issues with anything.
Meanwhile, he's plugging his phone into a generator.
He's plugging his phone into a generator.
And what's he saying in this clip?
So, this clip, these ones really make me mad because these are straight up just lies that they then use.
And a small group will then believe these and then they'll like believe that Nick Shirley is this villain or they'll believe that they'll believe the words that this guy says are true and they're not true at all.
And so you have this problem with these legit radicalized individuals who's supporting communism after he's seeing seven out of 10 people miss a meal a day inside of Cuba.
Seven out of 10 people miss a meal a day.
A day.
People are getting surgeries without actually getting medicine, like without getting induced.
What does he say here?
Watch it.
Go ahead, Rob.
What Nick Shirley is doing in Cuba is settler colonial, white supremacist, state sanctioned violence against the Cuban people.
Tell me how it's any different than the killing of George Floyd.
Or than the killing of 4 million Iraqis during the United States invasion of Iraq, or then the invasion of Venezuela, or then ICE in our communities taking the lives of countless people, or then so many things, the taking of the life of Ibn Rajab.
So he's one of those guys.
Yes.
Got it.
Got it.
Interesting.
Okay, so then you come back.
On the way back at the airport, are they giving you a hard time, or were you able to take off and there were no issues?
They gave us a bit of a hard time.
So I go through, I get my stuff because we had just passed through, but.
The two star general.
And with the two star general, they're like, okay, good, we'll get you a taxi.
And we go down to get the taxi, and there's no taxi.
We're like, okay, we're not risking getting in some random car.
So we start walking by foot.
And then we finally get on a little tricycle, like an electric taxi, and that takes us to the airport.
So we're fleeing Cuba in a 10 mile per hour tricycle.
And then we get to the airport.
We get through.
I go and grab my stuff.
I'm like, it would be a bad look if I didn't go back and get my stuff.
So I go get my stuff.
One of the security guards stays upstairs.
With them, he gets cornered by two individuals, and they're like, Hey, why are you guys leaving early?
Like, why are you guys leaving early?
And the security guard goes, We know what's up.
Like, you guys had your guys on us the whole entire time.
And the guy literally told security this.
He said, Yeah, the president knows you're here.
Like, we've been monitoring you guys.
Like, we want to make sure that what you guys publish makes us look good, essentially.
And so the president of Cuba knew that we were there.
Like, that's how fast word got out.
And then, like, that.
That just went to prove everything that we were speculating as far as the spies and being monitored the whole entire time.
Like, we'd be filming outside of one of the hospitals, and all of a sudden, two random guys would show up out of nowhere.
And then we'd go to the next location.
Then we'd go to the hotel.
The guy who's there in the afternoons, all there by himself again.
The two ladies, the lady is then sitting next to the guy.
Like, everything proved to be real.
And it would have, like, I knew going to Cuba, like, it was a big risk.
Like, 60, 40, it goes well.
And with everything going on, like, wouldn't it have been the worst idea for them to, Hold somebody like me hostage.
They could have used it as leverage, right?
So I knew it was very risky to go, but I knew I also needed to go to show people what's going on.
And so it wasn't the craziest idea to me that I knew I was entering a very dangerous situation, but I also knew it had to be done because people need to see what's going on there.
They're not going to get it from a communist controlled country who controls the media.
But the president knew we were there.
Yeah, and what do you think is going to actually end up happening in Cuba?
Do you think Cuba is going to be free here soon and, you know, Part of one of the, you know, similar to what Puerto Rico is to the states?
What do you think is going to happen?
Very possible.
If you're looking at it, right now, the U.S. has a blockade on Cuba.
Their main supplier of oil was Venezuela and Mexico.
Trump said if Mexico were to give them oil, then they're going to impose more tariffs.
So Mexico is scared off.
They're not giving them oil.
Venezuela, they're not giving them oil either.
So the United States is currently squeezing all the oil and gas out of Cuba, and it will not be hard for them to.
Take it over, in my opinion.
Yeah, do you have the clip, Rob, of what the president said?
The ship is going to pull up.
It was actually a speech he was giving.
He says the ship's going to pull up the moment we're done with Iran, then the ship's going to go to Cuba.
Once it's out there, they're going to be like, done, we're good.
Did you see that clip with the president?
Yeah.
So he's, you know, he is thinking this is not going to take a long time either.
I think it was just a couple days ago that we did this.
Yeah, this is it, Rob.
Go for it.
An architect who's really talented, he's done a lot of work for him.
He's got a flair, a beautiful Hispanic flair in particular.
And he comes from originally a place called Cuba, which we will be taking over almost immediately.
No, Cuba's got problems.
We'll finish one first.
I like to finish a job.
On the way back from what we'll do, on the way back from Iran, we'll have one of our big, maybe the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier, the biggest in the world.
We'll have that come in, stop about 100 yards offshore.
And they'll say, thank you very much, we give up.
Yeah.
Thank you very much, we give up.
On how quickly he thinks it's going to be ending.
Like they're literally squeezing them, too.
Yeah.
Well, they were relying because Venezuela was given oil to Cuba for free to sell, and they were making their money through it.
And then none of the money was going to the people.
They were keeping it at the top, so the people were poor.
And they just had the gas that they were selling so people can fill up, kind of like that one guy was talking about.
Anything else about the experience in Cuba?
Anything else?
I don't think it will be hard for the United States to take it over.
Now, I don't like the idea of the United States going in and just taking over countries.
I wish other people could do it themselves.
I wish the Cuban government could help out the Cuban people.
So it's going to be interesting to see what happens.
They're probably begging for it.
The people are begging for it.
They're probably begging for it.
The government, no, but the people are begging for it.
There's a lot of Cubans here that can't wait for that to become a reality.
For them to go back, it's a beautiful place.
I mean, the stuff that you see, what it was like, it's produced a lot of amazing people here.
You know, a lot of them are good business owners, small business owners who want to find a way to go back.
You know, I got one of the kids that's a friend of my son.
Every summer, he goes to Cuba.
He goes to Cuba just because the parents don't want him to lose the culture.
Even though they know it's a communist nation, they want to go back to Cuba to be around the family.
But deep down inside, they can't wait for that to become a reality.
And by the way, what a move.
What a move of not going to Cuba and Iran before doing Venezuela because Venezuela was going to.
You know, suffocate the Cuban government and China because China is relying on Venezuela for the oil so much.
Interesting move the way these guys did.
And one day when we read these books to find out if this whole thing was intentional or not to go to Venezuela first, we're going to learn a lot about history.
And if it was intentional, good move on Rubio and the president's end.
Venezuela Oil Scandal Exposed00:15:02
But I guess we won't find that out for a minute.
Yeah.
I mean, and also like with Panama, like the whole thing was because of China.
Because China was then controlling the canal.
And then you really don't want China to be that close to the United States.
And Cuba was also being propped up by China, Russia.
I mean, we literally almost had a nuclear war with Cuba because of the Soviet Union, and they had nukes, and apparently they were ready to start a nuclear war with us.
So, like, it's not a good idea to have an enemy that is only like 90 miles away from.
Yeah, that's a scary thought, especially the people who live in Florida.
They probably, anybody living in Florida is probably going to want that to become a reality first.
Let's talk about Quality Learning Center.
What's happened from, of course, you got a couple guys to resign.
Of course, you got a couple, you know, a governor that.
Saw the video, and a lot of people saying, Well, you know, Nick Shirley, he's not really a journalist, and now you've done some work where it's actual policies being made with you.
What is the latest with Quality Learning Center?
Because this is what I've seen, but I wonder what else you have on what's happened with these guys.
So, the Quality Learning Center got raided, and the great thing about these raids that took place is they had to provide enough evidence to then get these warrants, these search warrants.
So, a federal judge had to then grant them these warrants.
And right now in Minnesota, they're also blocking people.
Or they're blocking a bill that would ban funding from the quality layering center.
Wait, what is that?
Minnesota Democrat just voted to block an amendment that would have banned funding from going to the quality layering center in Minneapolis.
That means what?
Money not going to them?
I don't know if it's to go to more quality layering centers or if it's to go to the quality layering center.
Like, that's how crazy stuff is in Minnesota, where I wouldn't even be surprised if they still want to give money to an empty building that has no children.
Rob, can you play that clip real quick?
The word to the end the words or to the quality Learing Center Inc.
And Learing is spelled L E A R I N G. All members having voted who desire to vote that secretary will close the roll.
There being 32 ayes and 33 nays, the motion does not prevail.
The amendment is to the amendment is not adopted.
Madam President to the end.
You gotta be kidding me.
Like, Minnesota is the biggest joke in America.
Ilhan Omar also had the opportunity to provide any evidence about any of the fraud taking place and being our future, and she submitted nothing.
Yeah, I saw that.
She submitted nothing.
I don't have to.
Yeah, her silence speaks volumes.
Have you had an interaction with her?
Have you at all had any interaction with her when you were out there or no?
No, Ilhan Omar.
I've tried to go to her office twice.
I've gave her a quality leering hoodie, I gave her an anti fraud taxpayer club hoodie.
She wasn't there both times.
Actually, at the State of the Union, her guests were actually right behind me, which was very interesting.
So I'm like sitting down and I see Ilhan Omar.
I really want to say hi to her, but I didn't get a chance.
Our guest was sitting right behind you.
Yes.
Did you speak to the guest?
Yeah, it was super funny because I just stood up, shook their hands, and they acted super nice to me.
But Ilhan, obviously, she wouldn't say hi.
Yeah.
Imagine if like Tim Waltz or Ilhan Omar reached out and said, Hey, Nick, let's have a conversation on your YouTube channel.
I would love to do something like that and just say, Hey, let's have a conversation about this issue.
But they won't ever do it because they know that they're complicit in this fraud.
What's this clip here, Rob?
Is this.
This was from four hours ago, apparently.
Let's see it, because I haven't seen this.
So neither one of us know what it is.
Let's see what this is.
This is on the state's $9 billion fraud scandal.
Yesterday, they blocked a subpoena for materials from Congresswoman Ilhan Omar.
Investigators want to see her communications with the convicted ringleader of the theft from $250 million in COVID funds, that particular part of the probe.
That money was meant to feed hungry children.
The subpoena attempt came after.
Ilhan Omar blew off a deadline to turn over the information.
Republican candidate for Senate in Minnesota, Michelle Tafoya, with this.
She has not participated in this process at all so far.
She has remained somewhat untouchable here in Minnesota.
I'm not sure why that is.
I'm not sure why we don't hold all of our suspected wrongdoers to account.
There is so much smoke here, and I want to find the fire.
Well, I can tell you who could talk about the smoke.
Senior correspondent Mike Tobin is digging in to get the facts.
What do you think is going to happen here?
What do you think will happen to her?
Well, she obviously needs to be investigated.
I think she's currently underneath investigation.
Her net worth went from $30 million to $100,000.
She's obviously guilty.
And a lot of this fraud, even the Quality Learning Center, she was friends with the lady who was running a restaurant in front of the Quality Learning Center, who also owns daycares when she was in videos with Amir Fry as well.
So, Ilan Omar, she needs to get prosecuted or she needs to get deported.
There's evidence that she did marry her brother.
I think the problem with her marrying her brother is I don't think the brother's currently in the United States right now.
I think he's in the UK.
So that complicates things, I believe.
But if she does not get.
She'll either step down from Congress or she'll be arrested, I believe.
There's no way she can continue what she's done.
You know, you're pushing the weight where you're disrupting a lot of these people's lives and tens of millions of people support what you're doing because they want to know what the hell is going on.
They've been wanting the government to do this for a long time.
You're doing this.
How much worse is security for you today than even after the quality clearing center?
Is it getting better?
Is it getting safer?
Or is it getting worse with the threats that you're getting?
It goes in waves.
But for instance, when you have people like that guy in Cuba who makes that video saying all these straight up lies, that just makes it even worse for you.
Or you have these other people who come up with all these things and all these other theories, and it makes it even worse for you.
So.
Like right now, security is an issue.
Like, whenever I travel, I do bring people with me because I like 99% of people, it's all love.
Like, people are thankful that this fraud's being exposed.
You kind of have to be crazy not to be happy that the fraud's being exposed.
But then there is that 1%.
Even if it's 1%, Pat, here in America, that's 3 million people who are radicalized.
Even if it's just 0.1%, that's 300,000 people.
It only took one person to go think he could even storm into the White House correspondent dinner.
Like, I had no shot of actually killing President Trump.
But he had thought in his mind that he had to do it.
And he literally stormed past the Secret Service and brought a gun and traveled all the way from California to try and kill the president.
Like, there's a really big issue with radicalized individuals here inside the United States.
Financially, are you in a better place to be able to protect yourself?
Yes, but I mean, if you had to spend $30,000 a month on security, that adds up.
That adds up.
Yeah.
And so, luckily, I have been able to raise some money for that, which helps a lot.
But it's not like, so, like, say I made $30,000 a month before all this stuff, that's like amazing.
Now you make $30,000.
Well, then you have to spend $30,000 on security if I had to pay for it out of pocket, which is really tough.
How many of the sweaters did you sell?
The quality luring sweaters?
Sold quite a bit of those.
A lot of people liked them.
More than $10,000?
No, not that much.
A couple thousand.
Yeah, a couple thousand.
That's good.
We have it here.
I come to work.
Guys are wearing the quality luring stuff.
I'm glad Delhi's trying to learn something.
That's a knockoff.
That's a knockoff.
Go to anti fraud club.com.
What's it called?
Anti fraud club.com.
Anti fraud club.com.
Club.com.
And then the merch is what?
At the top shop?
Yeah.
Here we go.
Yeah, I see these.
I actually see these in our building with guys wearing.
And by the way, some of you guys, we'll put the link to this below as well for people that want to go buy that.
And also at the same time, for some of you guys that are watching and wanting to support or you know stuff, you may want to Manekt Nick Shirley.
Manekt Nick Shirley.
He responds back to people on Manekt.
I'm Nick Shirley, and you guys can find me here on Manekt.
Go ahead and ask me any questions, whether it be about politics, about what I believe, or where I think the future of the country would be going, or just quite frankly, Anything you can ask me here on Minec.
I really appreciate all your support and I can't wait to answer your questions.
We'll put the link below as well for Minec with Nick Shirley.
Walk me through your best friend, what's his name, Gavin Newsom, okay?
Because he said some very complimentary things about you.
This right here came from them, Nick Shirley, right now, okay?
So this is what's interesting about this post.
He's posting this out there saying you're going to daycare to see their kids, okay?
That got 9.7 million views.
How many likes?
Rob, if you can pull up the likes, 26,000 likes.
Not bad.
But then there's a guy on the bottom that posts a comment.
His name is Nick Shirley.
You do realize I'm trying to help America eliminate fraud and waste, right?
No need to try to make me look like the bad guy for exposing fraud.
People are over it.
Start working for the people and not against them.
283,000 likes compared to 20 something thousand likes.
And he's a governor.
You're just a citizen journalist.
What's the latest with you and Newsom?
Right now, they're trying to pass a bill that would stop investigative journalism for nonprofits that support immigration support services.
They're trying to hide our tax dollars from these NGOs, and they very slyly did it.
They put in health care at the very bottom of the bill.
And so, for me to go to California and go expose a Learning Center, for instance, that would become illegal if that person would then say that was harassment.
And now, if you read what they say in that bill about harassment, there's a few.
Things they say would be considered harassment.
And one of those just says unwelcome.
Like if it was an unwelcome visit, they could then say that's harassment.
And so they're literally trying to make it criminal to expose fraud inside the state of California.
There's over $100 billion in fraud.
Like I would say $100 billion each year in fraud in California alone.
In California alone.
In California alone.
If you just look at their Medi Cal budget, how it's gone up $100 billion and they've only had a 100,000% or 100,000 enrollment boost, and it's gone up a hundred billion dollars.
Now, who were you chasing down?
There was a clip I think I saw where you said, Hey, you're the one that wrote the Nick Shirley Stop Nick Shirley Act.
Yes.
And then she's like, I don't.
Know who Nick Shirley is.
Who are you?
What's your name?
She was acting like she didn't know who you were.
So, this gets really crazy actually.
So, the lady who makes this bill, her name's Mia Bonta.
Is that the one or no?
She didn't, Mia Bonta didn't, she didn't show up to do her job that day.
I think she got word that I was coming and she didn't show up.
And so, Mia.
Mia Bonta, isn't she married to the AG of California whose job is to do what you're doing?
Yes.
Her husband is the Attorney General of California whose job is to prosecute and stop fraud.
And she's making a bill right now to make it illegal to go out, making it illegal and criminal to expose fraud.
Not just expose it, but to investigate it.
And her husband is Rob Bonta.
Rob, can you go to her husband?
Rob Bonta.
So Rob Bonta is the 34th Attorney General of California since 2021, member of the Democratic Party.
He chaired the California Asian Pacific Islander Caucus after Javier Becerra resigned, which Javier is right now running for mayor as Attorney General to become Secretary of Health and Human Services.
Banta was appointed by Governor Newsom to replace him.
Banta sworn in.
So let me get this straight.
She, who is married to him, is targeting you to prevent you from doing their job.
Yes.
It's very bad.
And she's saying it's not a violation of the First Amendment.
It would literally be illegal, and a daycare owner of the Quality Learning Center. Would have legal authority to tell you to delete your video from the internet on a public street.
It'd be a direct violation of the First Amendment.
And the thing is, like, say this bill, it's super, it shouldn't pass.
But say it does pass, it will then take the Supreme Court a year, two years to then go and reverse it.
A year, two years to go reverse it, yeah.
And who was the person you were asking questions?
You're following somebody.
Yes, so I'm asking the co authors of the bill.
Rob, can you go to that, the co authors of the bill?
Is that the clip that he had a minute ago?
Yes.
Rob, go to that.
You were on X.
Yeah, go ahead, Rob.
She asked the question Who are you?
Go ahead.
The bill AB 2624, why would you sign off on that?
It's a direct violation of the First Amendment, and it makes it harder for people to expose fraud here.
We have ledge counsel.
They check the constitutionality of all our bills as we're writing them.
I work on fraud issues.
You'd know that if you looked at some of the work I did on the budget side.
That's amazing.
So, Mia Bonta, her husband's attorney general of California.
And it was only until I exposed fraud that they actually cracked down on the fraud and made some arrests here, especially with the hospices.
And do you know that if this bill were to pass, it'd make it illegal for someone to go after fraud, especially if it's based off of immigrants, for instance, Armenians in California?
No, no, I think that that's a misinterpretation of the bill, but I'm happy to talk with you more about it.
And I. Don't you worry.
Investigations into fraud are something that's been happening for a very long time.
The Attorney General handles those cases.
This is an ongoing issue.
Isn't it weird that the wife of the Attorney General, Mia Bonta, is now pushing this bill that literally goes against the First Amendment?
No, I actually don't think that this bill violates the First Amendment.
I mean, that's the whole purpose.
We have ledge counsel and ledge attorneys that talk with us about this.
Constitutionality is really important to the work.
So your bill criminalizes publication of images recorded in public.
Do you believe the government has the right to punish journalists for filming in public space?
No, I think that that is a complete misinterpretation of actually the.
No, because if.
It's a piece of legislation.
That is not.
That's literally what would happen.
Speaker Rivas, how are you doing?
What do you think about the Stop Nick Shirley Act?
AB 2624.
Punishing Journalists for Filming00:14:59
These guys are like literally running for it.
I don't know anything about it.
And do you think there's any conflict of interest there with Mia Bonta and her husband being the AG?
That just shows you everything you need to know.
These people won't even answer the questions.
Crazy.
Crazy.
Like these people are co authoring bills, yet they don't even know what's on these bills.
And it's a direct violation of the First Amendment, too.
Who else did you get a chance to speak to while you were out there?
All the other co authors, and some of them had no idea that they had even passed their committees.
Some people had no idea they were actually authors of the bill.
They wouldn't answer any questions about the bill.
And, like, the bill literally says it would make it confidential how much money, the funding that goes to these NGOs.
But these people have no issue with that.
Honestly, I think why they're doing this, why they're trying to pass this bill, is so say Newsom wins next election, they can just begin to flood the country with migrants once again.
Because it would make it illegal for people to investigate what they did underneath Biden.
Yeah, and while you were in LA, you went to a couple different centers, right?
If I'm not mistaken.
How many different facilities did you go to in LA?
So in LA, they have all the Armenian fraud taking place with the hospices.
Why do you have to go after Armenians?
What did Armenians do to you?
They were just committing lots of fraud.
Kai.
Like so much fraud.
What did you find out?
Well, you find out that these guys are living life in luxury while they're defrauding Armenians.
Lots of old people actually that are on the verge of death.
They're taking their medical beneficiary numbers, which is more valuable than a credit card for an individual over the age of 65.
And then they're making money off these people who are supposedly dying.
And while this is taking place, these people are buying Maybachs, G Wagons, Cybertrucks, M8 competitions.
And it's been happening for years.
Is this one of them?
This is one of them.
This was the most disturbing one you went to.
Yeah, that's a daycare.
Was that in LA?
That was in San Diego.
Rob, play that clip.
No one's there with these kids.
No one.
Now we're back to another one.
Finally found kids at a daycare.
Even more concerning.
Now, this is the opposite problem.
Adults are not there.
Now we're at the Jama Shukri Family Childcare.
This place is not a shopping plaza.
It's not anywhere near any place that looks like a place where a daycare would be.
In fact, it's actually in one of these apartments right here.
So they're able to have daycares inside apartment buildings?
Yes.
So I've come across many of these.
Some of these are on the third story of an apartment complex.
It's only one bedroom, and yet the capacity is for eight kids.
We just arrived at the daycare.
We have two kids out here.
I don't know if they're members of the daycare.
There's no one, there's no oversight right here.
Can we talk to your teacher?
Is your teacher there?
So, this is the first child we've ever encountered at one of these daycares.
There's two kids out here right now, and we're going to see if we can talk to the licensee.
It is, according to this paperwork, Shukri Jama.
Can we talk to the adult?
He is not here.
Not here?
Yeah.
So, you guys are all by yourself?
Yeah.
That's ridiculous.
No one's here.
No one's here.
No one is not here.
Wow.
Okay, so you guys are all by yourself?
Okay.
I can see by myself.
Robbing your closet.
Yeah, okay.
Yeah, it makes you mad.
And think about it.
They're also giving money to these daycares, and this is an apartment complex.
Why should it?
Somebody who just opens up their apartment complex for a daycare, receives government funds.
And these kids are all by themselves, obviously.
And the government, instead of saying, oh, let's go figure out what's happening, they then come after me for exposing it.
Like, that's how corrupt California is.
Have you ever gone to one of them where you end up being wrong about it, where you're doing a video and then you're like, you know what?
This one I was wrong on.
This one, they weren't doing anything illegal, it was real.
These daycares?
No.
None of them yet?
No.
Okay.
Because I go up, I do the research.
Like, this one, I had the form, and California had gone through and done their evaluations and they had shown, like, no children.
At these locations.
And then the hospices, that was just pulling up and wrecking.
Like there was nothing there.
One of the girls sends me a Minec, and I said, just Minec Nick directly.
Okay.
And it was from Healthy Life ADHC.
Do you remember that one or no?
Healthy Life ADHC?
Healthy Life ADHC.
Healthy Life ADHC.
And she sent me a message and she said, Mom has been running ADHC for 25 years, including this one for the last 10 years.
Nick was wrong here.
Here's my number.
Please have him call us because people are thinking we're running a fraud.
Well, in that video, I said, in that one, I said, is that I don't think it's enough to say it's fraud.
I remember you saying that.
And I told her that.
I said, well, Nick said it may not be a fraud.
We don't know.
We don't know enough if it's a fraud.
And she's like, no, my mother, they run a real legit business here.
So they were messaging me.
I said, I'll ask Nick next time we do something.
Did she ever Manek you or no?
She never did.
She never Maneked it.
Okay.
So let me put the name out there Roxanne.
If you're seeing this wherever you are, Manek Nick.
He'll respond back to you.
And I'll share this with him as well.
And so, like, that's that one right there that says inside a 19 million dollar adult.
That's the one, yeah.
That's the one.
And uh, click on that, Rob.
I think the owner's daughter menected me about this place, yeah.
Adult daycare.
This place over the past few years has billed 19.8 million dollars alone.
16.
Now, let's go see if I can enroll my grandma, yeah, because she needs some daycare.
And this right here is the entrance of a building that's received over 19 million dollars, yeah, in the five years.
Received over 19 million dollars, kind of crazy, right?
They say that right here, right now, we're here at 1 30.
No adults are here.
I wouldn't doubt that adults do come, but 19 million dollars.
It's kind of like North Korea.
What time did you guys go there?
You said 1 30?
Yeah, okay, like for a show almost.
Is this now a different one?
Is it still the same one?
And they can't give you any information.
Yeah, I saw it.
I told Ross, like, you're making it look bad for Nick.
Go answer, have some customer service, have somebody be able to talk it.
But at the end, you did say, I don't know enough if this is.
If you go to the end of this video, Rob, when he's walking out, what's going on?
I mean, look at this place, this adult daycare.
They don't even have an inbox.
There are people inside right now.
The phone's just ringing.
You can leave a message after the tone.
This mailbox is full.
There you have it.
They don't even have an inbox available to take in.
These are all red flags.
Yeah, like they just need to show that.
Yeah, these are all red flags.
I mean, these are, look, I don't know who they are.
This is not like I know who these folks are.
But if they send me Manek, they're like, hey, Pat, this is a legit business.
You got seven things you can do to make it seem like a legit business, and that's on you, the business owner, to make sure you do that.
Uh, your job as a citizen journalist is to go out there and tell your story and let the market decide.
If the market's not going to be doing it, you know, and it's being left to how old are you now, Nick?
24 years old, you're going out there doing this stuff in uh, in LA.
And while you're in LA, where did you go somewhere and there was like a homeless family in the street saying it would have been better in Colombia than it would?
There's something you did in there as well, yes, in Skidder Row.
I filmed that video a while back, but.
You had migrants living on the streets of Skid Row.
Is that it?
Yes.
I found multiple children living on the streets of Skid Row.
I found this one, this was a while back, like almost nearly a year ago, these kids living in Skid Row.
And their circumstances are better than.
The circumstances are worse on Skid Row than if they were in Columbia.
This was a 12 year old that I got off the streets in Skid Row and got him back into school and into a doctor.
You did?
Yeah.
12 years old.
We used to go to Skid Row every Christmas morning at 4 30 a.m. in LA.
We used to go to Skid Row and hand out Bibles and food and burgers and.
Blankets and a couple times knives were pulled on us.
And I would sit there and talk to these guys.
And sometimes our guys would bring their kids for their kids to see what's going on.
Eventually, it got a little bit dangerous.
We're like, let's just go as adults.
We would go with 40, 50 cars at 4 30 in the morning every Christmas, every year.
And a guy named June introduced me to this because, you know, and we followed the lead with them for many, many years.
It was an incredible experience.
But if folks have not been to Skid Row, what was your experience with Skid Row?
I've been to Skid Row a few times and it's super, super sad.
It is literally a tent city.
It really is.
It's blocks upon blocks of just human suffering to levels that are not necessary here inside the United States.
And it's been happening for years and years and years.
They give it millions upon millions of dollars, and nothing ever happens.
In fact, they actually give people the paraphernalia to continue to do drugs.
It's ridiculous.
And it's like I was really upset when I found that child there because you have all these NGOs surrounding the 12 year old.
The 12 year old.
Yeah.
But nobody will offer him a place to sleep at night.
He's sleeping on the streets of Skid Row.
Where there's prostitutes, where there's people selling fentanyl, people getting abused, and this kid's living there.
And it's just no big deal for all these people that are walking right by him.
Yeah, it's crazy because the sheriff, the chief, said the other day that he doesn't believe they're ready for the 2028 Olympics when it comes to LA.
But the problem is, if they're not even ready for the 2028 Olympics, eight of the 104 World Cup soccer games are going to be played at SoFi Stadium in LA.
How the hell is he going to be taking care of those people that are going to be coming to LA?
This is him right here, Rob.
Go ahead.
He requested funding to purchase vehicles, technology, and specialized equipment to be able to do the Olympics.
In addition, the $1 billion budget is for all agencies involved in the Olympics, not just the LAPD, and will be restricted primarily to police officer overtime.
LA 28 confirmed that they have zero police or public safety budget, and while they do have a security budget, it doesn't cover law enforcement.
Yeah, this is going to the Olympics in two years.
It's so bad in California, like so bad.
Like nobody knows how bad it is, except for the people living in California.
But even they will still vote for the people that enabled it all to happen.
Yeah, I mean, there's two big elections going on right now in California.
One of them is the LA one, where Spencer Pratt, the mayor, is doing a very good job exposing, and he's great at marketing.
He's great at doing all those things, which is good.
And then you have the governor race, which, you know, Bianco.
Sheriff Bianco and Steve Hilton, who are also out there making some noise.
We'll see what'll happen.
It sounds like right now, if it ended today, they're still winning, meaning the liberals are still going to be winning.
But Spencer Pratt is on fire.
This guy's on fire with the stuff that he's doing.
I mean, he's done a couple different ads.
We don't need to play this one here, but he's done a lot of different things.
What's the next stop for you?
There's a lot more work to do in California.
There's a lot more fraud to take place there.
A lot of people want me to go to like all their.
It's so funny.
Like my phone is just filled with people who want me to go to.
Their city or to their state because their fraud is quite literally everywhere.
They're asking you to come, they're inviting you to come.
I actually filmed a video a few weeks ago in LA finding where all the money went to for the homeless people.
And that should be coming out.
My problem is, I'm doing so much, it's hard to get everything out.
Like, since the Minnesota stuff, my workload's gone up, like, it feels like 10 times.
Like, I think since I last spoke with you four months ago, I've probably been home for a total of maybe two and a half weeks.
Stop it.
Like, I'm never home.
Never home.
So, you're sleeping at hotels, you're on the road.
Sleeping at hotels.
In fact, last night, I didn't even sleep last night because I was editing the Cuba video to try and get it done before you could interview me, but it took too long.
It's a lot.
Is this still a one man show?
For the most part, yeah.
Nick, has anybody.
Go ahead.
Yeah, it's pretty much a one man show on the YouTube channel, but it's the fastest growing political news account in America.
I saw that 1.8, 1.9 million subscribers.
And I remember before you did the Lyric Center, where were you at?
A couple hundred thousand?
I had hit a million.
You had it at a million, even before that?
Yeah.
So 800,000 subs in the last four months.
Yeah.
It's pretty insane to have that.
By the way, what major media outlet has called you to want to have you represent them and say, we got you financially moving forward?
Really, not that many.
I had a few people offer me like pretty good amounts of money to go work for them, but I told them no.
So, Fox hasn't offered you anything yet?
No.
I don't think you would take it, though, if they did offer you.
No, not at this point in my life.
Yeah.
Like, I really enjoy what I'm doing.
It would be nice to have, like, a show in the future, you know?
But I really enjoy what I'm doing right now.
It is getting harder and harder because, like, I've become very recognizable.
And especially for the fraudsters, like, right now in America, all the fraudsters are on high alert right now.
Like, they're either covering up the fraud or they're leaving America.
Like, they shut down all the hospices in California, they shut down over 500 of them.
Not a single hospice has said, Hey, open our hospitals back up.
Minnesota, they froze $250 million of the payments for childcare there.
Not a single daycare sent a single receipt.
They just raided 22 daycares and other welfare programs.
Not a single mother complained about her child not being able to go to a daycare.
Like, there's so much fraud here, and now all these fraudsters are trying to cover up.
And that's why they're having a hard time actually prosecuting these people because they're either leaving the country or they're covering everything up, or the money's already left the country.
Yeah, I mean, a part of it is I almost don't want you to be part of anybody.
As a supporter, to me, it's like, hey, stay as independent as you can as long as possible as you're going through this process because it makes it more honest and you can go pursue any story you want.
You go somewhere, then they're going to be like, well, is he pursuing the story he wants to do or is he pursuing the story that that outlet wants to do?
Exactly.
And I actually want to show you something because a lot of people are like, how did Nick do this?
Like, how does this happen?
The Million Dollar Year Plan00:04:43
I've been planning this for like years and actually brought it with me because a lot of people don't understand, um, like how hard I actually work to make stuff happen.
And the reason why I think I've been able to have so much effect is because I am 100% independent, I do everything I can to make money to stay independent because it's not cheap to do.
But so this is from December 5th, 2022.
I created a five year plan when I was 20.
I was in Chile on my like mission trip for my church, but all I would do on my days where I wasn't doing the missionary stuff was like this whole book is just.
I actually read your book.
I read three books.
How to Win Friends and Influence People.
That's my favorite book ever.
If anyone wants to have success, their success will double in life if they read that book.
It's the first book I ever read in my life.
Yeah, no, it's literally the best book and just teaches you how to navigate life smoothly and to also have smooth conversations.
Just switching the word from but to and will exponentially increase the relationships in your life.
And then I read Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, read your book as well, Five Moves.
Your next five moves.
Your next five moves.
Read that book.
I have all those notes right here as well.
And then Think and Grow Rich as well.
But this I created a five year plan.
So when I came home, I had like zero dollars.
So I obviously had to go make $10,000.
But if you like read this, it's like finish mission, come home with $10K, it came bank, and then be home for one to two months working to get 30K liquid cash to be able to fund my channel.
And then use that 30K to rebuild my YouTube channel, Nick Shirley.
30K will be used to fund travels, new laptop, and new microphone.
And potentially a new camera channel will take three to six months to grow back and build consistency.
Will most likely not turn a profit on channel for a few months after a few good uploads.
At that time, I had wanted to work for Barstool, maybe move to Barstool and live in New York.
Potential living locations St. George, Utah, Florida, New York.
And then the type of content for Nick Shirley it was interview investigations on current subjects.
At this point, you don't have a YouTube channel yet?
No, I do.
But you don't have a YouTube channel yet?
I had 20,000 subscribers.
That's right.
Is Nick Shirley in high school?
Got it.
To do an interview, investigate it on current subjects or on popular topics.
So I had like politics, strange topics, and then the goal was to reach 100,000 subscribers in six months from six to eight months of uploading weekly uploads, and then was to make 50K in ad revenue from YouTube in the first full year of YouTube.
And then, so that was year one.
I completed all that.
And then at 2025, I was to upload the channel to get to two uploads a week.
Which I did with live streaming and have a student office place to film and work out of.
Did that, create a podcast show.
I have that on my YouTube channel.
And then hit 500,000 subscribers.
And then this year was to create a media company and have 10 employees in an office space.
And it's supposed to be like the million dollar year.
And the 10 employees has happened.
And now I have about 10 people who work for me consistently on everything.
I had an office in New York City.
I moved out of New York, but everything else came to fruition.
Isn't that great?
Yeah.
Isn't that great?
So impressive.
It's so impressive.
And this is December 6, 2022.
So three and a half years ago, three years ago, give or take, three years and four months ago, you're writing this thing down.
This is your vision.
You're turning this into a reality.
You're at 20,000 subs and then now 10 employees.
And this is going to be your million dollar year, 2026.
Hope so.
Hope so.
That's the goal.
Sponsorship.
You're getting better sponsorship.
I noticed you were wearing a Poly Market shirt the other day.
I like Polymarket.
Did they reach out and sponsor or not yet?
Yeah, so I'm a partner with Polymarket.
Okay.
And I have a few other sponsorships on the channel that I work with, but I really just want to do one or two on my channel.
And Polymarket's been awesome.
But yeah, that's like even down to the thumbnail, like I had that envisioned.
Like if you watch my channel, you'll see like all the yellow boxes.
And I remember just like having that envisioned when I was, I knew that's how I wanted my channel to look.
I wanted my aesthetic to look like that.
So it's been crazy to see how everything's came to fruition.
And so when people were like, oh, Nick's like a, he's a, he's a planner, I'm like, no, this has all been written.
That's very impressive.
It's very impressive for you to have gone through this.
And are you at a point where you're thinking about writing a book or not yet?
Polymarket Sponsorship Success00:07:19
I would like to.
My goal, actually, this year is a goal I have I'm trying to create a documentary and then a separate short film and then to be able to tour it across the U.S. and go to like 10 cities.
And I want to create like a documentary based on kind of like everything that has happened this past year and then also have a short film to show.
Yeah, I think if you write a book, I think the book would do very well.
So I think you got a lot of support of people that would want to support the book you're writing and being out there learning what it looks like.
Citizen journalism in 2026.
You know, if you're open to it, I'll introduce you to a matter of fact, the person I'll introduce you to will be a very funny person.
Yeah, please do because I've wanted her out there.
I'm going to tell you who I'm going to introduce you to, and this is meant to be.
She was Stephen Covey's literary agent for every book he did.
She met him when she was only 22, 23 years old.
Really?
And if you know who Stephen Covey is, Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, she was his literary agent.
I'll introduce you to her afterwards.
And you guys can get on the call.
She's phenomenal at what she does, powerful at what she does here with the business.
Have you thought about at all going to, I mean, if you're going to Cuba, have you thought about going to crazy places?
Iran, North Korea?
Do those cross your mind?
Like, I'm going to go to some of these crazy places?
Iran, no.
North Korea, like, if they would let me in, but they probably won't let me in.
I really, really want to go to Venezuela, like, really bad.
I've wanted to go there for a long time.
Yeah, you saw the plane, right?
Plane landed, and they were kind of showing what's going on and how they just opened up.
Yeah, so yeah, I want to be the first person to interview the lady who's currently president.
I don't think you should have a hard time.
Yeah, I'm gonna try to make it happen because I speak Spanish, so like I actually really care about what happens in uh Central and South America because I live with those people, and then those people do have a lot of things in common with us.
And like the idea that they need to come to America have a better life is not true, like, there's other options.
And there are current people like Naeeb Ukeli in these countries who are making their countries great.
So it's not this idea that these people can't create a valuable society.
Like they very much can.
It's just these leaders that have been controlling them for so long.
Like in Venezuela, you had Maduro, and now in Cuba, you have this communist regime that's destroyed their lives.
And that's great.
I can't wait for that to happen.
Who in the market is supporting you?
Who in the market is criticizing you that you're surprised?
On the conservative side, are there people who are like, Nick, go, you're doing great?
And then there's people that are like, yeah, I don't know if I like what he's doing.
Kenneth Owens came after me a while back.
That was very interesting.
Why would Kenneth Owens come after you?
I don't know.
She didn't believe my Brazilian favela video.
Oh, it's not even the.
So you're talking.
This is a couple years ago.
No, no, this is like recent.
She's like, white boy.
I'm like, it was very like snarky of her to do this.
I'm just going to say, I don't believe that at all.
I'm sorry.
I just, I just, it's so stupid.
I'm not even gonna tell you why I don't believe it.
It's like, it's like, if you don't know that that's stupid, that he infiltrated the gang in 48 hours, like it's just, that's so dumb.
I'm so tired of dumb.
That's not how that works, okay?
You don't just go up to gangs on the street as a nice looking white boy with a camera and say, hey, I just wanted to sort of like see what you're doing here.
What's going on?
Okay, that's just stop.
That's stupid.
Of course, that's dumb.
I'm sorry, Nick.
I know you're young.
I hope, you know, whoever is your contact that has you infiltrating Antifa and infiltrating El Salvador at the age of 23 years old.
It just feels like Sean Penn young to me.
Like, oh, Sean Penn's always there.
I've been to find myself on top of this.
Meaning what?
Meaning your handler or you're representing somebody?
She's basically saying that's fake.
She's saying that's fake.
And I'm like, well, maybe these podcasters would actually leave their podcast studios.
No offense, Pat.
They'd leave their podcast studios and go and do journalism.
They'd actually see stuff just sometimes just happens.
That was the most risky video I had done to that point, going to the Brazilian Fedora.
So it's not about Newsom.
It's not about Learning Center.
It's specifically about Brazil.
Has she called you out on other stuff, or is this the only one?
No, this is the only one.
Interesting.
She was trying to tie me into.
Trying to verify some stuff about the Charlie Kirk assassination because I was on his show literally an hour.
Like, I was the last live guest.
I remember where I talked about that.
Yeah.
Passed away or was assassinated.
And so then she brought me up.
And then, next episode, she kind of apologized.
But I didn't take it to heart.
I thought that was kind of silly of her, honestly.
But she did apologize.
Not apologize about that, but she said, well, Nick came in and fact checked about the instance with Turning Point.
But you shouldn't apologize about that.
Got it.
Like, I'm not offended, but it is just like stupid to be.
You know, it's funny.
We were talking in the back, and one of the guys brought up another name.
I won't mention the other name.
It's also somebody that's doing what you're doing.
But it's like, hey, the other guy's having a hard time.
What do you think is the difference between the other guy and Nick Shirley?
I said, Nick has been raised well.
Nick is stable.
Emotionally, you're very, you know, balanced.
It doesn't sound like you get rattled.
And it's very obvious you're enjoying what you're doing.
Now, you're 24 now.
I'm assuming you're planning on getting married before 30.
Yeah, that'd be the goal.
Before 30.
Yeah, we got to figure that out.
You got to figure that out.
Well, I mean, you know, maybe you go to Cuba, you find a beautiful wife who's not happy, you bring her back, and she starts saying, My God, this man's making my dreams become a reality.
It'll be a white boy with some Cuban kids combined.
I'm not open to that.
I'm not open to that.
Fluent English.
Yeah.
My Spanish is good, but to be screaming and shouting.
What is Nick Shirley into?
What is your type?
Beautiful.
Just beautiful?
Yeah, just beautiful.
Six, five, six, five.
No, not taller than me, a bit athletic.
Okay.
But just beautiful.
Just beautiful.
That's all.
Is there a type?
Is there a type?
Yeah, absolutely.
Because if you're like this, you know, if you're like this, I remember writing down specifically what I wanted my wife to look like height, temperament, hair, all of it.
Have you done that yet?
Because you've done a lot of stuff here.
I would just say like a virtuous woman.
Virtuous woman.
Yeah, just like a pure hearted woman.
Faith, Christian.
Yeah, like the God believe in God, God believe in Jesus.
Like, that's obviously very important.
And, yeah, just beautiful inside and out.
All right.
That's such a wide range that if I were to set you up with a beautiful girl, there's beautiful girls everywhere.
Like, I've gone on dates with beautiful girls from France, I've gone on beautiful dates with girls from New York.
Like, there's beautiful girls everywhere.
You're still a part of it.
Went on a beautiful date with a girl in Switzerland once.
That was awesome.
Has anything gone where it can be a little bit serious or nothing yet?
No, nothing yet.
Interviewing a Virtuous Woman00:04:03
Nothing yet.
No.
Now it's kind of weird too because like, I don't like being.
Don't let this Adam guy take you in partying and you know, stay good.
Oh yeah, Adam was so funny.
That was super funny.
I was like, I wanted to see what the club was like.
Because Adam, he's like the nightlife.
In Miami, he is, yeah.
And I thought it was so stupid.
I thought it was so stupid.
I thought it was so stupid.
Good for you.
Good for you on where you're at.
By the way, the way it'll happen is the way you least expect it.
We'll see.
It'll all of a sudden happen, and you're going to come down and say, Pat, I'm married.
She's pregnant.
It's going to be in six months.
It'll be life changing.
But what you're doing is very important.
It's not easy to do what you're doing.
By the way, what happened with you and the Andrew Callahan guy from Channel 5?
Oh, yeah.
What was that all about?
That was, that one took a few years to get on, guys.
We had him on last week.
What was your take on Andrew?
He's a liberal.
He's a liberal who I would say, a, how would you put it, Rob?
A leftist, libertarian ish?
Yeah.
Is that a good way of putting him?
I don't think he's a crazy, crazy leftist.
I think he has some libertarian tendencies in him, but I do think he's part of the left.
Yeah, for sure.
And I like Andrew.
I liked Andrew until he did what he did with the interview.
So that interview I did with him, it was 72 hours after the video had gone mega viral, and I had only slept for like six hours that day.
Those past three days, and I let him come do an interview with me at like 11 p.m. at night.
I hadn't eaten anything that day, I had just drank an energy drink and just had like a steak right before because I was at my friend's man cave, and so I was like super accommodating.
I was like, Oh, this will be good to do with Andrew.
I had a lot of respect for him, I used to watch him a lot.
And then I did this interview with him, and I knew right off the get go where he was taking it because he started, instead of asking about the fraud, he asked, Do you think this was a distraction from Epstein?
I was like, okay, well, I know exactly what this is going to be about because it had nothing to do with that.
So I knew he was kind of trying to do this kind of like smear thing on me, which I thought was super disingenuous on his part because I was super accommodating to him, did this interview, thought we were good friends, and then he goes and does that.
It was not my best interview by any means, but I also wasn't in the best state of like mind and like physically.
Like I hadn't slept, I hadn't been eating because I was like running off pure adrenaline.
So you guys went from 11 to 1 30?
Yeah, it was like a two and a half hour interview.
Yeah, and then he posts the interview.
And he only posted an hour of the interview.
How long was the total interview?
Two and a half hours.
Okay, so he cut out an hour and a half of it.
And any response where he had that he was wrong or made him look bad, he didn't show.
But did you record a whole interview yourself?
I recorded the whole interview.
Got it.
So, to a two and a half hour interview, it becomes an hour and a half, and you're recording the whole thing so you can show a couple parts that he cut out that maybe made him look bad.
Yeah.
And like the clips you used too.
Very deceptive editing on Andrew's part.
And yeah, he like cut out spots.
He like literally jump cut spots when he admitted to being wrong or not knowing about that.
And like one of his claims, like, well, Nick said 89% of the fraud like so many times.
I'm like, yeah, because you weren't getting the point that the fraud had been committed.
89% of the fraud had been committed by Somalians.
And so he obviously came with this agenda.
And when you sit down to an interview, because they're pitching it as a podcast interview, like, let's do it for his channel called.
Uh, like C5, Channel 5, yeah, yeah.
He has like a five cast, he has a whole show called like Five Cast.
So, we did this interview, and I was like, Oh, cool, just be like an interview where we just chat.
But no, he just cut it all up.
So, you know what?
I love the most.
Let me tell you what I love the most.
I love the fact that guys like him exist and guys like you exist.
Debating Fraud Claims Aggressively00:02:20
So, I think both is necessary.
He's gonna go tell his side of the story, and you're gonna go out there and tell your side of the story.
The part with you that is so attractive is you're sincere and genuine, is who you are.
And I think the market knows that.
So that is a little bit scary when you are sincere and genuine because you're curious going out there.
The way you ask the question, you're very respectful.
You've been raised the right way and you're just getting started.
And I think it's, you know, we need more and more people like you that are doing what they're doing.
A lot of young people out there, you know, especially after what happened with Charlie, I love, I absolutely love the bravery of what folks like you are doing.
And I think you're just getting started.
Yeah, you got any advice for me?
You're going to get a lot of people that are going to be in your ear.
Do your best to speak to those.
And take counsel from those who need nothing from you.
You know, study people's motives on what they need from you.
And then, even if you know what their motives are, it could be a sincere motive.
That's okay.
Like the motive here is we're doing a podcast.
You just came from Cuba, there's a fair exchange.
But study motives because you're still young enough where people may see an opportunity with you.
So protect yourself from the right influencers, the right people out there that are doing the right things financially.
I love the fact that you wrote down savings.
One of the things that I had early on for my dad is the power of having cash in a bank.
If I didn't have the cash in a bank, like, you know, I bought a land, cash, $25.2 million.
If I didn't have cash, I couldn't buy a $40 million property for $25.2 million.
But that happened with me saving $10,000, then $25,000, then $50,000, then $100,000.
So behind closed doors, you know, as much as celebrating the business, celebrate having savings and cash, it'll give you peace of mind.
And you'll be able to stay as honest to what you're doing as possible.
Be selective of sponsors, like you talked about earlier, who you're taking sponsorship money from.
You're going to have some mistakes.
You're going to make some fumbles.
Everybody does.
When you do, you know, pick yourself up and come back up and do your thing.
Trust yourself and your instinct.
Defending Journalism Amid Controversy00:02:33
I would say that at this point.
Amazing advice.
Yeah.
I really just want to show people what's happening in the world, like whether it be in Cuba or here in the United States, and just like show it as transparent as possible.
Like, I think now we're getting to a point where.
Non controversial issues have become very controversial, and the idea that some of these ideas have become controversial is just crazy to me.
For instance, all these people that are now supporting communism, but they live here in the United States and they protest every weekend.
Well, if you were to go live in a communist country, you wouldn't be able to do that.
Exactly.
Like that person I wanted to put, there's a lot of mean tweets that came my way after the Cuba video, and I wanted to tweet like, For my next trick, get people to defend a country that suppresses speech, has no free media, and holds those that speak against the government as political prisoners.
And I've gotten people to defend fraud openly.
I've had them defend billions of dollars of fraud.
And a Democrat has never even reached out to me and said, hey, thanks for exposing the fraud in our state.
In fact, they just doubled down.
No, you're the enemy.
You need to know that.
You're the enemy.
You're doing a very important job.
It's like the gates of hell just come upon me once I exhaust myself.
But it's also the other side as well.
God's got your back.
The right people have your back, and they're supporting you.
And I'm sure your confidence comes from your faith, where you're able to do what you're doing.
Your family, your mom, your brother, you got the right people in your corner.
That's a very, very important part that you have.
I think you know that.
Yeah, it definitely helps.
Without my family, obviously, none of the stuff would have been possible I've accomplished so far.
And then with the faith and just the morals I kind of grew up with, it really helped me to.
Be where I'm at today.
Yeah, it's exciting.
Well, folks, if you're watching this, the man needs support.
